Alex had her Rotary initiation today! 

She got to Focaccia's yesterday for Mother's Day.

You might be surprised how we feel about the drifting and donuts that happened at Hill and Reynolds on Saturday night.

STRANGE SPOILERS. 

My Dad had begun his trek to Ohio, and then he got called back to Philly. 

No Doctor Strange spoilers aside from, it was SO comforting, and the MCU went to something I didn't think they ever would.

Speaking of going dangerous places, at least in my world (which is not the accurate world view), I haven't seen anyone say YEA, IT'S ABOUT TIME. 

My great friend Dorothy Mockensturm returns to talk about the return to in person Good Grief programming. They help kids and teens manage through the grief of losing a loved one.

Would you like to work with them!? 

Please join us for Raising Hope on June 2nd at the Pinnacle. Food, drinks, lots of silent and live auction items to fundraiser for this fantastic local non-profit.

Then a few minutes with my former neighbor Toledo Police Officer Cheaib who got to spend a few minutes with Tom Hanks!

This is some Q105 on air content that I'm share with you as an ERICCHASE+ extra.

I promise! Within the realm of hit songs, I tried to stump Alex with the songs, and how little of the intro I used. 

Ugh. 

Alex asked, and Alex receives new intro music for the show.

The mental health levy won in a landslide.

Other Ohio election thoughts.

Since late last year I have been a dispirited and dejected dater.

Why it's important to do a podcast with my Dad.

The Walleye are moving on. And Toledo's new AD had an extra ticket for the clinching game.

Tom Hanks was here today.

Some dude ran on stage at Dave Chappelle.

I always wanted to be profound. As usual, I was too impatient.

You've written a book before 30, successfully? You have my sympathy.

I cannot believe this happened. 

What was Stein Mart!?

It's do or die, Game 7 tonight!

I love whatever the Met Gala is.

Go see a counselor twice a year.

Thanks to 13ABC for their mental health feature!

Alex wanted some Mase to start the show. Then we wound up down a path of one of rap's most overlooked 90s albums.

One of my worst takes ever.

Walleye head to Game 7 tomorrow night!

Earnest heading to West Toledo, but what about South?

Our friend Mahj made the Blade in Promedica story about combatting the opioid epidemic. 

The N word at the lacrosse game leading to a larger discussion about its use and by who.

Several years ago, on the old show, we were asked to interview the winner of the Cumulus Toledo talent competition at the casino. These things often don't go well.

But Floyd and I LOVE Phil Holtz AKA Philay Mignon. Phil is helping a friend out with with an event to raise money for the L + L Society HERE.

Before we visit with Phil (18:45 mark), I have a truly serious tattoo curious. I'm not being disingenuous or snarky. I swear swear. And the FCC chairwoman on how people like me can SAVE THEIR JOBS. 

When I don't know what something is around here, I yank them in for a podcast visit! Engage Toledo is no different. They are NOT the people keeping downtown tidy, as I surmised. Thanks to Jenny Jaqua for visiting and explaining why the next app you downtown is ENGAGE TOLEDO.

Right before Jenny (she's at 9:00), another test of NIMBYism, this just off the Trail in Maumee.

Lucas County is innovating in the jails. 

I now feel a bit terrible about laughing at Amber Heard memes.

No Lady Marmalade 2k22, but I'm getting this...

A devastating and controversial Walleye loss.

Sinister plant people.

Metroparks taking over the Main Library.

A Culver's coming to BG?

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.

Nobody goes to Ikea for one thing.

Help former inmates!

After counseling yesterday, I'm regretting taking 'you're your own worst critic' as a compliment.

Someone else said, 'no, you don't have a right to an opinion.'
