Bauerle

Bauerle returns to the program and wants to know from you, now that the dust has mostly settled from COVID, how did COVID change your life? How did COVID change America at large?

Joe Beamer, filling in for Bauerle again, leads off today's program with talking about the Palestine/Israel protests on campuses and your thoughts on that. Also, apart from the usual suspects, gas and groceries, what other items have you noticed an increase in price due to inflation? And, have you ever gotten a surprise check in the mail?

Joe Beamer, in for Bauerle, starts off by touching on the tragic situation over the weekend where six teens were shot on Jefferson Avenue, leaving one dead. What is causing all this violence amongst kids?

Also, Beamer touches on the lack of employees working downtown these days, what can be done about this, and do you think technology has advanced as far as you thought it would 10, 20 years ago? 

The majority of the program today is spent talking about home ownership, is it still part of the 'American Dream'? Also, we touch on a number of ancillary topics, such as stories of terrible landlords/tenants, Polish versus Italian sausage, and what is the most pressing issue facing Western New York, and America at large?

We open the program today with a story from north of the border, the Ontario Provincial Police are warning people to be prepared to perform mandatory alcohol screenings during every traffic stop as they crack down on impaired driving in the Greater Toronto Area, should we consider something like this in New York State.

Also, we talk motorcycles as the weather improves and motorcycles start coming back out. What do motorcyclists and drivers do that annoy each other on the roads? Also, a call from this topic spurs the follow up topic of injuries. What is the worst injury you've sustained or worst pain you've ever felt?

Among the topics of discussion on the program today, with the number of anti-Israel protests we've seen on college campuses recently, for our Jewish listeners, do you feel threatened as a Jew in America?

Also, we re-visit a topic from yesterday's program, what is the most uncomfortable conversation you've had to have with someone? And, it seems like every show, a good call is ruined by poor cell phone service, begging the question, where in WNY is cell service the worst?

We start off the program with a discussion of town boards, specifically Amherst after last night's town board meeting, do you feel your town boards actually listen to you? Also in this vein, we hear from former Amherst town board member Shelly Schratz on the referendum on the $11 million MusicalFare Theater project.

In the second half of the program, Bauerle asks you, have you ever had to have a conversation with someone close to you about an 'uncomfortable truth' about themselves, whether it's a drinking or drug problem, hygiene problem, etc.

In this first program of the week, we pick up where we left off last week, after notable presidential election forecaster Professor Allan Lichtman came out and said a lot would have to go wrong for Biden to lose, what do you think about that, who do you think will win the 2024 election?

In the back half of the program, Bauerle asks what linguistic pet peeves do you have, and what fond memories do you have of the local malls, whether it be Eastern Hills, Walden Galleria, or the Boulevard Mall?

In the first half of the program, Bauerle talks tattoos, do you have any? If so, what's the meaning behind them? Have you ever had to have one removed?

In the second half of the program, if you look into your crystal ball, who do you believe will be the next President of the United States. And, does it even matter who that person is, is the President the person running things? Also, how could you see AI impacting us in the future?

Today starts off with a continuation of yesterday's end, misheard lyrics, we play more of the lyrics that you've misheard over the years, and in the second half of the program, we talk landlines. Do you still have one? What has made you decide to keep or get rid of yours?
