Everybody's rooting for the Eagles (against the Chiefs) anyway right!? Before that, Grammy things. Thank you Gaga and the Weeknd for giving us something that isn't girl pop - which is fine, but it's ubiquitous. 

Yes, you may have recalled I AM from Northeast Philadelphia.

Inflation and unseemly interest rates could roar back.

We have a lot of return guests. We talk a lot of health issues. This is a NEW guest on to discuss a health concern we've never chatted up previously. Before we get to Dani Moran from Prevent Blindness Ohio...

A coffee business is going in downtown, in place of an outgoing coffee business that didn't work out.

Thanks to Kimberly Newman from the Victory Center for not asking me to go Over The Edge this year. I think she knows better. And a thanks to her for visiting to talk about the upcoming sold out fashion show and possible themes for May's Celeb Wait Night.

First, my electric bill came, and a sweet new business in Uptown Maumee.

Gretchen DeBacker from the Four Hundred and Nineteen podcasts visits to share what they are, why you should listen, and even come watch them for a live recording! 

Before that, a 100,000th skate party, it's illegally cold out, a barista question, some celeb drama I'm mesmerized by and another streamer raising prices.

My good friend Stuart James, whom I met through the Ability Center, is here today. I asked him how he's liking or disliking Toledo now that he's been here over 3 years. I also asked to something I've never thought to ask a guest before. How can we attract more people? 

Then. 

Lots of sports, that begins with the potential a pro soccer team here playing down by the river.

In a pure coincidence today's show turned into professions and vocations. For your kids, Jess Soffee from 4H returns to invite you and them to the upcoming open house at the Botanical Garden on Feb 2. It's free.

Before that, the Italian Bowl is returning, Tom Brady's sage wisdom for work, and the a reminder you don't know what you don't know, thanks to blind men and an elephant.

I think this is the first ever podcast requested birthday shout out but then GIRL SCOUT COOKIES.

Please buy from Mackenzie. She needs her Stanley! 

What cookie would YOU create? 

I want to go the Girl Scout Cookie factory. Maybe see a Snozzlewanger.

My dear friend Mary Bilyeu (formerly of the Blade) isn't so new at her new job at the Jewish Federation anymore. Let's talk some food with her (of course), and meet the new Director of the Jewish Community Relations Council, Amichai. We've had very little discussion here about the conflict in Israel. I just don't know enough to have a thoughtful opinion on the matter. Amichai does! He's also new to Toledo and a Wawa advocate!

First, the new flag.

Lithium. Not the Nirvana song, or maybe it is.

Goodbye Nosey Asses. 

Campbell not caffeine, and the brutal 2025 schedule.

Road rage leads to a body slam.

Jaden Jefferson returns to save my butt for a community affairs show guest this week. 

Jaden is adjusting what stories he'll be reporting on this, how driving is going, his top music of 2024 and what he'd ask Biden, Trump and Michael Jackson!
