I have three thoughts about the new Beyonce.

Not a Beyonce thing, but we have a lemonade situation and the community needs to rally.

The WILD Top Gun theory. 

Ann Ebbert, CEO and President, of Cherry Street Mission is on today's episode. 

How the Kahan Family Feud donation came the Mission's way.

Ann discusses who they serve (mostly, but not all men), and how they revitalize their guests, many of whom are in dire need of mental health services. As well as some of their community partners who they refer guests to if they cannot help them for a particular reason. 

With the unprecedented times we've been in, and with more on the way, many of us are in precarious situations and could be closer to needing CSM's services than we'd think. 

Bethany is feeling the heat. 

I had the most interesting visit at what you'd think is the most boring place.

The average car payment is how much!?

Act I Renaissance is on the way July 29th.

Finally, after several virtual podcast visits with Tedd, I have him and his gifted photographer Matthew McNulty in studio to talk more nuggets of Toledo history, his books, and more about the Remarkable 419 project they're hard at work on.

Holy Toledo History

Before Tedd and Matt, let's talk temps. And 100 really is better than 0. 

Time to slowly ramp up your interest in this year's Out Of The Darkness Walk with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention with my friend Megan Scott, who is a suicide attempt survivor. Megan joins at the 7:45 mark.

First! Let me give you some bread crumbs how I was fortunate enough to get involved with a cause and event that has been instrumental in allowing me to grow as a helpful mental health advocate.

Then, a second day of some optimistic economy thoughts. The world may feel like it's on fire...but maybe that's just summer heat. Or some metaphor like that. 

That episode title will make sense with the *

Going with 'bare floors.'

Did Alex buy a treadmill or something to just hang stuff?

I cheated on something very important to me.

Common is coming this week!

SPORTS - The Walleye lose, and that's OK. Northview are state baseball champs. Our mutual love the mid to late 90s Indians.

Inflation vs. Recession

Wow. Actual gun control measures*

TSA business with Bethany, included a preview of Undisclosed on June 23rd.

I got the VIP treatment at the East Toledo Family Center. I'm a fan!

Madi judged and rocked the Old West End Festival.

For the most part, the economy 'sucks, but I'm doing OK enough.'

We had a real life Augustus Gloop situation.

Zoo for Bethany this weekend, I went last Friday and it was SO different from my last visit.

My good friend Mary Bilyeu, food editor at The Blade, is in studio for her monthly visit.

The Blade did a Bill Of Fare at the place where I had SIX nachos.

How'd Maybe Cheese Born With It recap. 

Do we have too many food trucks? 

Can we get back to some Zoom calls?

If you're just here for Dr. Heath Diehl and his crew at Black Swamp Players (Leah, thanks for the connect!) please jump ahead to the 22:00 mark. 

Before the chat with Heath about BSP shows...

I'm so glad a TOYS ONLY store is a thing again.

No Joker sequel please.

TARTA is missing an opportunity.

Save money, lose weight?

The legalizing of a taboo transaction may have saved DeShaun Watson and his accusers lots of grief.

They may automate before they can successfully unionize anyway.

First, my apologies that our time with Brad isn't the best audio quality. 

Please check out his story.

My friend Stuart James from the Ability Center wanted to have a disability discussion from three perspectives. He was born with his, Brad's was acquired through a horrific accident, mine is invisible. 

After Brad's visit, I wanted to probe Stuart to make sure he's staying here, because he enjoys the area and DOES want to ensure Toledo is also the most accessible city in the country.

Before the guests, a leftover topic from yesterday, with more coherent thoughts about a Pride night with some thorniness.
