Or should it be ChaseVerse?

An off pod discussion stumbled in good podcast content to begin today. What you couldn't wear as a kid.

How open are things with Phillipe in the UK?

Retrograde and bad service at Popeye's are getting to Bethany.

We don't have much more podcast time with Phillipe due to his upcoming tour.

I paid it forward at Starbucks. The largest I've ever done.

Sorry, Toledo, no fireworks.

Perhaps the worst, or least distinguished, President ever is having his name removed from a Perrysburg event.

Food trucks!

It took almost three years, but I was able to snag Jake Mercer for today's podcast episode. 

This isn't London with soccer in every neighborhood but we do have a solid soccer community in the city, and even in the larger region.

Jake's got lots of insight about Toledo Villa FC. Who the players are (lots of locals), where they play, who they play, and how close their level is to say, the Columbus Crew.

Also, this time three years ago, we were lamenting that the US incredulously missed the World Cup. The first time that had happened since 1986. Things are different now; they're looking up, and Jake can explain. 

Two in one day, so we're back on schedule.

My dad's visit here was welcomed, but ultimately uneventful.

Amanda's weekend was not so much. How long can a submerged in water phone live?

Alex went to see Quiet Place 2.

I have a very, very rational fear of a fairly common household item.

City happenings.

My 180 on Naomi Osaka

This will be Dr. Navdeep Kang's third visit to the show. He's a psychologist and the Chief Clinical Officer for BrightView, which is a new place for addiction and recovery here in our area. 

I hope you enjoy our discussion that goes across the entire spectrum of mental health and substance, of course centered around the pandemic we have all been affected by.

But we start with Dr. Kang's appreciation of a movie much discussed on this podcast!

Let's wrap up Mental Health Awareness month with some mental health talk. 

First, Naomi Osaka won't speak to the press at the French Open due to mental health reasons. I respect her advocacy but I may have gone about her actions differently. 

Megan from AFSP is here to share of her experiences dealing with her diagnoses and how she manages some of her worst, and even best days. Also, please allow us to get the Out of the Darkness walk on your radar for this fall. 

I manipulated my dad, or something like that.

Update on the stray dog!

Good luck winning one of the next four DeWine Dollar prizes.

The Imagination Station reopens Friday, and remember the theater is open! So what's there.

I'm not the only one who dislikes the lousy neighbor. 

And now our guest. Debra Calabrese of the Toledo Rep who are putting on Shout! at the Ottawa Park Amphitheater May 27th thru June 6th. 

Alex's bachelorette party could be at PIB.

A Florida school modified yearbook pics of its students.

The local speed cams are off and will be for a while.

I may tell my dad not to visit this weekend.

The Underground Railroad has a possible Rege Part 2. 

My neighbor is a real c word.

A few celeb things.

Janet's here as we head towards a retrograde and supermoon. 

We had a blast a the Haunted Hydro on Friday night. 

-10 Toledo points for now knowing THAT is who Mr. Kranz was.

My morning did not go as well. It's a really good thing I didn't go and sit at Starbucks, or that dog may still be on the streets.

A friend had some published work that, stunner, animals help our mental health. 

Thanks to the Mayor for stopping out to the Ironwood event.

You have no idea Eternals are, and really neither do I. 

Madi is out with Gwamma. Later on in the episode we'll find out why this is troubling to Bethany.

Happy halfway to Halloween. We're headed to the Hydro.

Faith is doing so much better!

Alex polishes up my crude idea to pay people not to shoot others.

Bethany's mom fears.

Before we get to Danny Morrin/C-Fifth about a very cool project in East Toledo NOT connected to the lofts or Metropark...

I'm embarrassed but please allow me to 'subtweet.'

UT's very successful former coach was offered that position with the Lions. Let's talk about happiness!

Goin' to Dunkin'

OK, now Danny, who's been telling me about this really exciting project in the Ironwood neighborhood on the eastside for months now. It reminds me of the Sofia Quintero Arts and Cultural Center in South Toledo on Broadway. I hope you can make it out to help Danny plant on Saturday, if not please like and follow!

Two more things. Pigeons and paying people not to shoot people.
