Bauerle

Bauerle returns today and immediately gets hot and heavy with it, as we find out about your hygiene habits. Are you a shower or a bath person? Are you a heavy cologne or perfume user? And most importantly, were you one of the thousands in Western New York who were subjected to swimming naked in high school?

Nursing homes are back in the news after workers at five different homes in Western New York have gone on a seven-day unfair labor practice strike after not reaching a deal for a new contract Monday night. With that in mind, Beamer asks you your thoughts on the strike, as well as if you've had any experiences with nursing homes, whether you've worked at one or had family in one. Also, we talk to Brandon Galligan of Yelp Buffalo and dive a little into Jake Tapper's new book 'Original Sin' about the decline of Joe Biden and the associated cover up.

As summer is on the horizon, Brandon Galligan of Yelp Buffalo, who has joined the show previously, rejoins the show today with Joe Beamer to discuss some of their events coming up this summer and how to ensure you don't miss out on them.

It's Joe Beamer filling in for Tom Bauerle, and we start off talking about downtown Buffalo. Is there any hope for downtown Buffalo? If you were in a position of power, what would you suggest to attract business back downtown? We've got that, among other topics, such as social media stunting our social growth, Station 12 finally adding a new tenant, and more.

The first topic is about visiting cemeteries. Topic 2 is about social anxiety (are you a social person).

This topic was spawned by a call from Jim of North Tonawanda yesterday, where he made a historical reference and echoed the sentiment that people are bored by history today and cannot make informed decisions about their future because they don't know enough about the past. Where are you on history? Does history bore you to tears or are you transfixed by any mention of history?

Even during shows where it's not the topic, the changing demographics of the United States continually get mentioned. The U.S. birthrate has been declining, and this decline is not even exclusive to the United States. As far as the United States is concerned, why do you think the birthrate is declining, why are people not having as many kids as they used to, if at all?

There was still some untapped potential waiting to be tapped into with the topic we rounded out yesterday's show with, so we pick up today with any moving horror stories you have and housing horror stories in general, did you buy a home that turned out to be one big money pit? And also, as a side topic, what do you make of the current state of the neighborhood you grew up in? Is it anything like it used to be? Has it gone downhill?

It's a horror story type of show today, particularly centered around deliveries and moving, Tom takes your calls on or best (or perhaps worst) delivery/moving horror stories.

Calling all Western New York musicians! Tom wants to hear from you today, how many of you consider yourselves musicians? Even if you don't consider yourself a musician, do you play an instrument? What did you play? How did you settle on this instrument and how did you learn it?
