Eric Chase

Another event for this fantastic LOCAL effort is coming up!  Brandi from the leadership team is here to chat about how previous events have gone, how much the effort has grown, and December 6th's event. And of course how you can help. She's great and I'm surprised I haven't run into Brandi sooner. She's a school admin and deeply involved in many community endeavors. 

How is time spoken in the UK. It's Bethany's birthday tomorrow, and people are trying to cancel Baby Yoda. How far down a infant's mouth does the nipple go during breast feeding? A VERY old pic of fat Eric. NOW it's round two of COVID. The Five Second Rule. Weird statue news.  More traffic cams are coming. Bethany is displeased. Levar Burton for Jeopardy host!  

Oh dear, please don't be offended by my weak SEO attempt with today's episode title.  I do have Veteran's Day (that's everyday!) thoughts to share with you about people in my life. Then we get to some 'extended' family. MAJOR NERD ALERT. Not our usual superhero stylings but video games. Big scary words like WoW, Twitch, Playstation 5 and more with Will Harrison, a free lance writer with the Blade (this is only accidentally Blade week), and NOW, WoW podcaster!

DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS PODCAST. As the holidays approach - with the annual added weight - if you've thought '2020 YOU WIN. GIVE ME ALL THE FOOD' please dive in and maybe take notes.  From the tone of the emails I had a feeling this would be the kind of episode that COULD go for hours.  The Blade's food connoisseur Mary Bilyeu is on. The Blade is EXCEPTIONAL journalism but Mary's food stories are not to be missed. Mexican, Asian, Pizza, bagels, corned beef, unheard of food trucks, recipes for many or one! This is the most delicious podcast episode yet.  Put your debit card away. Take the delivery apps off your phone. 

News just in, TPS is going back to all virtual next Monday. Two main topics for today's episode. Michigan and the Lions are painful disappointments. Sorry. I couldn't help myself. Lots of Jeopardy and Alex Trebek thoughts. And lots more now that election is mostly over. The Coke workers are still on strike. Getting laid off. 

The pathetic, no questions press conference.  London life on lockdown with Phillipe. TSA's store is open for holiday shopping and it's First Friday. Too soon for Christmas? Bethany's baby struggles. The Wonderbread factory is going to be renovated into living space. Phillipe on Only Fans? We're trying! My phone is now free. 

At long last Alex got her meds...from back in August. My Cymbalta.  The no update, election update. A French Bulldog won a political seat. Which of our dogs would make for good candidates. Oregon (the state) is decriminalizing hard drugs. We LOVE this. Gamestop is doing an employee contest where you can win...more work. 

Day 1 of Election Day aftermath and a shout out to the resurrection of speaking gigs with the Lucas County Suicide Prevention Coalition (bring us in!), and then we get to... Brie Campbell from Ida's Catering. Brie's crew received money from the first round of $5000 grants from the city. Her menu looks delicious, and maybe they can be of help during Thanksgiving and the holidays.  Go HERE for the grant info. Also, I *think* (so don't hold me to it) there's a special focus to get this in the hands of minority owned small Toledo businesses. 

Common is dating and in love with Tiffany Haddish? I had no idea. Some Netflix things to keep an eye on. More details about the Coca Cola strike, and the pains of health insurance. Janet is here with us. We've been saying it for MONTHS. But the retrograde is finally winding down. The counting of votes. Nothing controversial.

We've got another new intro song and Alex offers her most brilliant thought ever.  Nikki McKibbin passes. She was from the first season of Idol, and finished third. Sean Connery also passed. Neither of us were big fans, but we still have memories. Trick or treating in other people's neighborhoods. Locally, Coca Cola is striking. Seems like bad timing, and poor messaging so far. Best of Toledo. Floyd has to quarantine. Daylight Savings Time.  Alex has found an RV in the family. Show road trip! You terrible Michigan fan. Fix your expectations.   

First, sorry for the two traffic reports I didn't edit out, but apparently there's a must-hear reaction from a pic everyone but received. Also, so if the audio isn't perfect. The whole fam minus Floyd :( is here (Ashleigh is on the phone). So... The Coyotes really botched the Mitchell Miller situation. For two families. Halloween, trick or treating with Ashleigh and 'Marshmello.' Bethany is still trying to master the mom thing. Phillipe AKA Captain Hook and why he needs an Only Fans ASAP.  Alex on Kanye's stupid rich person gift to Kim for her 40th. Breonna Taylor's boyfriend is being sued by the cop he shot. WHAT!?

If you're here for my buddy Kate Pixler from the Imagination Station hop to about the 24 minute mark.  First... Drama in Maumee. At Dale's and out in front of it.  Another Black man was shot and it was caught on video. You probably don't know about it! Metroparks award! Crazy UM fan, who deserved more punishment. An all too real gruesome Halloween display where the cops keep getting called. NOW, my friend Kate. There's no big fundraising, dancing and dining event for them this year (called The Bash), but you can still eat at some fantastic local places AND bid on cool packages to support The Imagination Station. BTW, they're closed, but the Key Bank Theater IS ready to open when everything gets the green light. 

Glinda the Good Witch...not so good? We need a lawyer. Our GOOD witch Janet Amid is on as we roll into a full moon on Halloween for the first time since 1944. My every four years Electoral College rant. Purple pumpkins for COVID safe prepared candy. Mitchell Miller who was drafted by the Arizona Coyotes was the killed who bulled my friend Joni's son four years ago. Some irregularities in Mr. Dia's story from 34 years ago. Alex is right about some bizarre sympathy. Santa's were going to get COVID vaccines for good PR. 

Weather, work, lack of sunshine, I dunno but I'm chest deep in a funk. It made seem ludicrous, but I'm NOT good at promoting myself. And I could NEVER be a salesperson because of my great aversion to asking for money. Enter me asking you to support Good Grief. Did you watch Witches or Borat? Also The Trial of the Chicago 7, Sabrina's final season and Shona Rhimes.  My mailed in vote has been tabulated! Who knew that some people were still VERY private about their vote. I literally had no idea. Alex wants to shout out the two TPD officers working closely with her boyfriend to make it into the academy. 

She tried so hard to be on last Friday, but Madigan wasn't even 7 days old then.  Let me send you an email to help out Good Grief of NWO. I totally forgot that Bethany has battles with anxiety. The debate last night was...civil and informative, but much less entertaining that what we've seen to date. The new Ariana song Positions. Witches and Borat are out.

Kim was just letting Kanye spend on his presidential campaign; do Ashleigh and Kevin have to check with each other on their big splurges. We found the one person that loved Quibi. Ashleigh. Alex voting. I mailed my vote. How is Ashleigh voting. Lots to talk about Glass City Metropark and the levy to ensure the vision is realized. This place is giving its workers another bonus. Fourth time. So many Kroger's! Alex is loving Sally's.

Diana Patton has boundless enthusiasm, positivity and charisma. I hope she infects you, and inspires you to check out her programs that helps schools, kids and adults all over our area. Next up is Eric Zgodzinski the Lucas Country Health Commissioner. OK, so not mandates, but directives could be coming? How do we handle Thanksgiving, what's disappoints him with people's COVID behavior, are healthcare facilities in danger of being overwhelmed as flu season hits, and the latest on when/what for a vaccine. But first, a song I want you to hear. 

Janet is here with us. Another week deeper into the teeth of this retrograde with another full moon looming. My questionable phone bill since I got the 11...update. Maumee High School teaching some radical right propaganda, which is fine, but... Vigilante dads in Sandusky may have causes some major damage to suspected pedophile cases. Have you seen the graphic comparing Sue Bird's earnings and accomplishments to Lebron's? Let's discuss. Final thoughts from Alex on Bly Manor. That's it. We're done talking about it. Onto the next show!

Kyle Overmyer. Why do I remember that name!? Oh yeah, about 38 felonies involving opiates. He literally is a new man now! You probably don't recall me avidly telling you to VOTE. There's a reason.  As much outrage as with a roundabout. Let's get to Conant Street. Hold up, there were hidden ghosts in Bly Manor!? Quick thoughts on the Trial Of The Chicago 7.

This episode is special and different in a lot of ways. You're either going to love it or hate it. Give me feedback. About a year ago, thanks to Facebook, I caught up with a kid/guy/person I grew up playing sports with and going to school with since my early teen years. Moty Darwish. I always knew he was from Israel; not totally uncommon where I grew up. But Moty is a much different Jew than back then. His views piss off A LOT of people (he's been blocked by all our old high school friends). I'm a Lefty Looney to him! But I'm totally OK with that.  Let's talk to Moty about religion, purpose, humanity, reincarnation, the end of this earth, dinosaurs, and then some Philly sports.
