Bob Barker wasn't the only celebrity death over the weekend. The voice of a now very famous character passed away. Your turn Wawa! Thank you to the Jewish Federation for allowing me to speak. With a new show starting, I'm glad one of my news friends will not be leaving in the near future.

I've always had that question in my head. Joe Fawcett, the new CA for Perrysburg (barely on the job) was kind enough to stop by and answer that question. Before that, how about them fries at Hooligans!?

Let's talk about my visit to Pam, my therapist, this morning. I went in in good spirits and with nothing specific to discuss yet it was SO productive.  Mental health centric skateboarding event tomorrow. Lots of station things happening! Make your own logo. This is a better idea to raise money. The (potential) Toledo amphitheater discussion. The parents of a thief have an issue with the places where there son is stealing from. 

Daniel Pearlman, from the Jewish Federation, is here to discuss the upcoming event Shine A Light On Hate at Lourdes on Aug 27th. It brings together various area marginalized and minority groups in response to increased hate speech and actions across the country. Then Daniel is kind enough to let me pillory him with questions about Bar Mitzvah's, ice cream and empty calorie streaming shows.  First, SHARKS!

Hi! Keeping it quick with Alex today. Day 3 or so of Noelle's daycare adventure.  Future MLB Hall of Famer RAVES about a Toledo restaurant. The $6k question in my condo association. Alex is slowly settling into the house, but it's been tough to chase down Sonni. 

The new(?) Friday crew? I got a Jaden a gift...from 2010 or so, and that got us talking about our first music player experiences. Bethany is potty training Madi. Or Madi is training Bethany to do things for her... Daycare for my niece was so bad. 

The fine crew at Lourdes University asked if they can have the on air breaks done from their instant admission fair day! I am happy to oblige as they're always gracious and welcoming hosts to my twice a year visits. 

This is the third time it's my somber pleasure to welcome Nike Licata for a visit to talk about losing her son, on active duty in Alaska, to suicide. The third Run For Life happens September 16th at Dana MORE HERE. And this is Nike's visit last year, with a fuller version of her loss.  With Nike this time is Amanda Held from HOOVES. Hooves is equine healing, which was just for veterans (Amanda was Air Force and is still in the Guard), but after so much success the program is open more people now, including and especially kids.  I've had Amanda here several times before, but this is her most sage and powerful visit yet!

Jeep Fest struck a crushing blow to me! Just not gonna win the popular vote on this issue.  UT AD doing what he said he was going to do. 

Reading a preview of what that was had me intrigued. This was not a typical art festival. I appreciate Dani Fuller of Fuller Art House in Sylvania for visiting and sharing about her baby with the pod. First, if they want to die, don't let them. Then, bringing back up my quirky idea to slow drivers down, and finally, Matchbox 20 will be here. Or so they're scheduled to be. 

Quickly on Issue 8, for which the onslaught of ads for it will only last another 6 days. Alex has much less cynicism than me when it comes to the Lizzo drama. Stars acting terribly!? My word. Is Alex trying to leave an apartment complex, or depart a war torn, overlord run country!?

Last night was a huge success at Glass City Metropark.  It's Jaden's mom's birthday tomorrow night, with a dinner at Texas Roadhouse.  Many collect vinyl these days, but Jaden collects another form of physical music media.  Doja Cat vs. Her Fans. Jaden and Bethany break down Issue 1.

Spoilers. Well, actually not really. You KNOW what happens in Oppenheimer. Oh, please tell you do! And Barbie, what kind of ending or cliffhanger would you be expecting anyway!? Both excellent movies. First, the needs of the many unfortunately outweigh the needs of the few.  Everyone has their price. 

Another 'one of those Twitter people!' But this was not just any Twitter person, he's one one the first people I came across in Toledo. Dustin Hostetler has some wonderful, reasoned perspectives about Toledo. They're what caught my attention on Twitter!  I think you'll really enjoy about chat. 

Eight days out from the event and I started brainstorming songs I would like to hear, though it's unlikely I will. My globally famous friends gets some Toledo new love. And a Packo's take on something. Snoop narrating a Zoo video.  I came across a new word. Unalive. AI can't do that....

Couple of big celebrity divorces announced yesterday. Let me run some math by you about marriage. When that person you don't expect, likes you! Too much for parking, too far to walk. And a visit from Lori Balogh, as we continue guests during Disability Awareness month. Lori does outreach and engagement for Lucas County Dept. Of Developmental Disabilities.

My boss from second job is on to tell you all the thing I can't about the Ability Center, and we want to invite you to something this Saturday. First, Getting kids active, while slowing neighborhood cars down. There was a 'surprise' at Ed Sheeran's Detroit show. I doorbell apparition!?

The 90s show was canceled, but Alex foresees a Promedica resurrection!  The Waterville amphitheater opponents kinda won. Developer is looking elsewhere. Deja is hosting Lovefest at the Lovewall this weekend on Adams. We have serial robber in the area! He's hit 7 places! Or less, because he went to the one pizza spot twice. 

Why wasn't that ever edited in Next's Too Close. I know it COULD have two meanings, but we know it doesn't. Is there a DUCKING problem (not here in Toledo)?! Let people enjoy things including Amazon Prime Day. Maybe there's another reason why more of us are living alone. Is NIMBYISM going to hit South Toledo again behind the Autozone. Allow my cynicism to rise with...people will move, and eventually they'll move back. And no way we can stop ALL pedestrian deaths. Vision Zero is misnamed. 

Superstar teenage journalist Jaden Jefferson is doing some Q105 hosting duties while he's on summer break. I knew he wasn't a sports kid, but I had no idea he'd never played a video game. And other things you'd have never guessed about Jaden. A definitive ranking of Britney songs...by us.
