My dear friend Dr. Andrea Mata wrote a book to help parents.  What help do parents need!? A lot! Many of them have my sympathy.  The book is called The No. 2 Parenting Book Practical Tips For The Pooped Out Parent!

Perhaps to my detriment I don't post episode titles that immediately get your attention. I need to for this one. Also, not hyperbole, you will hear me like you've never heard me before.  Before we talk about DJ Jake, Wonka was wonderful, I'm Just KenMas, a Philly legend helped make a memorable night in BG. 

The title will make more sense when we end the episode with denied Ohio license plate submissions! First, my week away went just about how I hoped it would! I did forget to mention one things, lots of gaming, to go with the other ing's. Functioning misanthrope. Man, people! She's home! Back to a time when you missed the beginning of a show, AND had to race to the bathroom during a commercial break! So, roughly 2018. Though possible later for some.   

My friend and fellow 'tribesman,' Paul Causman returns to talk about this weekend's A Christmas Carol shows from the Rep AT the Valentine. It's been over 20 years in the role, but many different questions for him since previous conversations of ours.  First up, letting some of my colleagues have it, and who's YOUR hottest!

Before we visit with Adam Cassi from Keep Toledo Lucas County Beautiful and all the composting things I learned... I'm not making excuses for our forecasters, but...ooooh, that sounds like an excuse is coming! Did dark shopping patterns get you!? Not me!

I have seen pics of local people who've played Mother Ginger, but aside from that I have no idea what that entails. Dom Glover, the shows director, and a friend, is here to shed light on what my afternoon will be like on Dec at Lourdes.  TICKETS HERE

I LOVE self checkouts! Many apparently do not, and want to be compensated for their 'work.' First, and before get to the return of my friend Valerie Fatica, the Disability Manager for the City of Toledo to talk Snow Angels and jerk landlords, BREATHHHHH, perhaps the greatest Battle of I75 EVER.  I'm going to be Mother Ginger, and music I/we have waited about 20 years for!

Before we get to 'Black Friday we have big TV's put groceries on sale'... I think getting a cold may be worse than what COVID can wreak on us now. It's going to be an onslaught of show and movie announcements with the strike over. I'm out on the awards at awards shows but the Grammy noms will bring fierce competition. The new Dua Lipa is phenomenal!  

No intention to be disrespectful by just putting Margo P. But her last name is Puffenberger and the length of the title would've been unfriendly to your screen. Before we talk Maumee Uptown updates, rental ordinance drama and safe bike paths with Margo... Issue 1 type things are going to be continually routed on ballots. Perhaps why one school levy passed and another did not. And the return of a Mexican buffet I have only heard about but not been to.

If you slept crappy like I do you might not be so affected by the time change. It's Election Day! Do you have a strategy for drive thrus. The guy that's the Taylor Swift beat reporter may be regretting taking the job. It's been almost a week since any streamers raised their prices.

A quick one when I say it's actually going to be quick! Just two topics. Perhaps we need to adjust how we go about red flag laws when it comes to who shouldn't have guns. Me. I should not have them. It's 60 seconds long. For now. 

Maybe it's just a gimmick. Or, perhaps this $150 gadget will get you to a much desired and needed 6-8 hours of sleep you're desperate for. First, that pizza looks delicious but no way I can do it with a friend in under an hour. WE, the consumers, are shouldering all these wages increases. I don't scroll in bed, but if you do perhaps the Loftie will end that terrible practice. 

Bethany is back Bama and escaped just before the big rivalry game. What part of town is the Target on Alexis in? I'm quite surprised people aren't being more outrageous - as they usually are online - when it comes to the sad, but very preventable Charged Lemonade death involving Panera. Apartments at Southland now moving forward.   

Before we get back to a second visit with Joe Capucini (12:59 mark) who gives us a preview of The Thanksgiving Play at the Maumee Indoor next month... No houses will be taken by ODOT. Pitch those pumpkins. Nice to see this place still in business.  Adults (so all of us), be safe, don't misleading or be dishonest, and have some (fcUking) fun!

First up, Joe Capucini and The Thanksgiving Play will be on tomorrow's episode. So that tease will have to linger a bit longer. The Blade had a true crime pod several summers ago, and there's been an arrest in the case. Ranking the Flanaganverse shows. A final candy corn conversation for the season. The best Whopper maker in North America is here in Oregon. My niece's goals.

Bethany is in to talk kid Halloween costumes and trick or treating strategies.  I see a little of me in Taylor Swift when it comes to being with the opposite sex! I think I have Bethany's preferred music pegged to a T. Yes, OF COURSE you should pay attention when driving. ALWAYS!

Lets popularize cauldrons! Not just for Halloween, but year round.  House of Usher things! So yes, some spoilers.  Objectivity over subjectivity. Only the data matters! Data can refute your opinion. Are you different than the electricity in your brain?  Why can't Alex have nice things!?  

Are you expecting many or any trick or treaters? It's far more efficient for kids to go to trunk or treats.  The Britney memoir is coming. She said she had an abortion with Justin. The complaints I expected from the Taylor Swift didn't actually materialize, but other movie etiquette question arose.  The Travis and Taylor cottage industry has risen! Alex is almost done House of Usher, no spoilers!

Before Alex and I welcome back Alona Matchenko from Toledo Helps Ukraine to invite you to an upcoming documentary at the Maumee Indoor, we'd like to talk about... Massive spiders. Taylor Swift releasing her movie a night earlier than expected.  Total spoilers about the movie Fair Play. Our measured thoughts on the horrific situation that's dominated all non-Taylor news since the weekend. 

We WILL have summer concerts downtown. Or will we?! Our doubts, and also getting popular contemporary acts here is more challenging than you think.  And the regrettable nuclear comment from the promoter that set off one of our fine councilmembers. Alex has to watch Fair Play and then we will discuss. Our excitement from the next entry in the Flanaganverse arriving tomorrow.
