Golden Globe nominations are out, but so few of the movies are. So cinema savant Justin Camuso is here to assist. I promise you'll leave this episode with movies and shows you'll wanna watch. A quick run through of the Grammy noms as well. Why is Drake nominated for Album Of The Year but not for Rap Album Of The Year!?! Lastly, we found the fin ...…

If you missed the article in the Blade yesterday, some iteration of T&e Mo&^ing REDACTED is returning on December 17th. Who'll be on the show? That's really the only question I can give you an answer to at the moment. But I can explain much of the process. Oh, it will most likely NOT be T%^ Mo&^%ng REDACTED because of legal reasons. However, De ...…

I'm super excited for this, because I didn't think her bosses would allow her to visit. First, Let me thank Ottawa Hills HS for allowing me to work with them this weekend on Next To Normal, meeting people who just have THAT VIBE, and some thoughts on the Victoria's Secret fashion show and lingering disgust about it. OK, so tonight's guest is fr ...…

If you've listened to the last few episodes with the three of us, you know D is going through marriage counseling. The entire situation is a challenge and that's putting it courteously. After what he shares here with us, I wouldn't be surprised if a breaking point has been reached. But first, I'm in some kindaold school R + B mood, and my mini ...…

Who is Kirsten? Hold on. First, my shitty mood finally evaporated so I wanna share with you some really interesting podcast episodes (not mine) AND give you MY official Toledo winter forecast. OK. Kirsten. My NAMI friends asked if I'd help promote a show at the Ottawa Tavern on the 7th where the proceeds are going to them. Uh ok. Tell me about ...…

In about a month you're going to think things like I WANT TO GET IN SHAPE, NEW YEAR NEW ME, TIME FOR A BOOTY, or TIME FOR THIS BOOTY TO GOetc. Maybe after spending some time with my friend Amanda Kurt you'll actually follow through on those hopes and wishes above. If she can mom, run 12 hour days and have a totally opposite schedule as her husb ...…

Fret not Ohio State fans (if you listen to this before the game). Ashleigh went out for Thanksgiving. Eric went upstairs. Demetrius and family went to the ER. It was a harrowing week for the Nicodemus crew. On that, how's their family counseling coming along, which got us into a discussion about just how do people stay together. Some ARE fortun ...…

I have to make a choice don't I? In true and typical Eric Chase fashion, I bet who I'm (slightly) leaning towards is going to aggravate Michigan AND Ohio State fans. Demi, what's your line? SNS! Oh well, I guess I'm doing my job properly if I'm evoking some emotion in you. Let's start with a brief condo update and how today went.…

OneSeaSkate is here, and is it the WPSiest thing we've got? Did 'Baker' pull off the first engagement there yet?! How is D's counseling going? Glad you asked. Fights still happening. Make sure you abide by the rules of warfare. I have a house buying update. I'm half closed. Eric, WTF is that!? It's half closed and NO POSSESSION. Stan Lee died. ...…

My friends Wendy and Lucas from the United Way of Greater Toledo have returned. Their kickoff to giving event filling 5000 backpacks was an enormous success. So much so that the fire marshal had to keep an eye on them. Wendy and Lucas would love to have you help in whatever you can with their Adopt-a-Family program. If you're an advocate of org ...…

It's a cold ass Saturday morning with the crew. A little, ok, more than a little, on Issue 1 failing miserably and some general election and political thoughts. My friend Donnell Rawlings is in town at the Funny Bone this weekend. And by friend, I mean, my n word ending in a. D will explain. I wish we had the audio of that interview. Another we ...…

Some of you Stans, sorry, regulars (THANK YOU!) have heard a good portion of this before, but I was invited to speak and present (I did my own PPT, so proud) at Epic Toledo's Leadership Summit yesterday at the Renaissance Hotel. It wasn't recorded, but I want my content there out there to help anyone it can. The theme FAILURE AND STRONG MENTAL ...…

A new car, a new house, two Best of Toledo noms. I have been very fortunate. I'm not dismissive or ignorant of it. That's the prologue of tonight's episode, created after a phone call with my dad aka my benefactor. Melanie comes in at the 12:00 mark to share the mental health story of her daughter Hannah. I heard Melanie speak at a powerful men ...…

Buy local, support local, shop local. I'd bet you say them a lot. Time to put your money - at least $5 of it - where you mouth is for this fall's Toledo SOUP! You will get soup for that mouth from three fantastic local spots. Rocky's, Timeout and Rose & Thistle. Eat that while you enjoy presentations from four local efforts vying for the money. ...…

Eric, Phillipe, Demetrius. We almost made it to two hours! Here's a rough run down. Two racial things. No more Christmas in July at Put In Bay and superhero night at the Walleye game. Do you REALLY need heated seats at a movie theater? Death by selfie. Phillipe's sexual persona while not actually being the nympho you'd think. I think MANY women ...…

I'm not surprised, but totally at ease with this person having to cancel. They have an extremely demanding schedule. So, lemme fire away at you. I want to use my Thanos finger snap on something. Don't worry EVERYONE LIVES. But I hope you try to implement what I'm suggesting. To that point, Toledo is not the best place, but before you tell me wh ...…

We are one week out from Election Day. You can actually vote RIGHT NOW! Nick will explain and, if you encounter any issues when voting, he can help there too. Issue 1 with lessening crimes with heroin, fentanyl and cocaine. Issue 11 continuing money for mental health funding in the county. How about for governor of Ohio? Then fun stuff! Updates ...…

Ashleigh and Phillipe are here, and Phillipe's overseas boyfriend, Danny is in town. He's an introvert like me, so Phillipe should be prepared for his behavior. Diddy is terrified of clowns and so is Phillipe. Is it a black thing!? Ashleigh in Insta famous. HERE! How did each of us get into radio? Teachers and their experience levels. Tacos and ...…

For two years now Lauren Lindstrom from the Blade has been kind enough to do stories highlighting NAMI and our walk each year. So let me have Lauren, and Sarah Elms share what their life is like at the Blade. Pay walls. I know, you hate them, but you didn't just take newspapers before. Why we do need them so much. The particulars of what they d ...…

We're a little all over the place so buckle up. 20k at Zombie Crawl vs 20k kid friendly Halloween events. Is Trick or Treating dead (skull emoji). My house saga is 97% over. I have a place! With a good inspection at the cost of a nearly broken neck. Did you watch the Connors? Keith Urban's magnanimous act. Bike share program in Toledo, where yo ...…

Do you support me and my advocacy for mental health? Great! Vote for Issue 11 on November 6th. TBH, I've seen the signs everywhere, and I know it's NOT A NEW TAX for mental health, but that's it. So I asked my friend Crystal from NAMI for more insight on this vital decision. She snagged Scott from the Lucas Co. Mental Health and Recovery Servic ...…

Adding a little something to Jordan's visit this week by having the newest Cumulus Media employee in here as well, Floyd Anderson AKA Deja D. Dellataro. We've got a lot of celeb stuff to get into. Did Mac Miller's death have Ari rethink things?There's a 'normal' royal baby on the way. We're praying Jordan hits the Mega Millions because she play ...…

First up, some coworkers. Work husband and work wife Mookie from K100 and Becky Shock from WRQN. Some old school Toledo radio stories like last week, a 'borrowed' Jimmy Fallon game and they wind up interviewing me! They'll be back, just because I think BECKY IS GREAT. Next, Dr. Andrea Mata from Univ. of Findlay is returns to talk about... Selen ...…

Our friend Nick Komives stepped down as Executive Director from ET after he won his seat on city council. Analese grabbed the ED position last spring. She kind've appeared out of thin air. In this episode she'll explain why and how that happened. What are her short term (non profit unity) and long term visions (community center) for Equality To ...…

Well holy Nicodemus, we got D in here! Good because I want his thoughts on the conclusion of the notorious toe sucker case. Stereotyping people and a lightning quick house update. Sorry for jerking you around with this. Kanye in the Oval Office. So much mental health to discuss. Lebron letting his kids drink wine got us to talking about parents ...…

I know I come off (at times) as surly, brusque, aloof, misanthropic and on and on, but I actually do have quite a bit a friends. Maybe not currently (not true), but people I go back with for years. Sam is one of those people. He started working in radio in Detroit shortly after I started there. He, like me last year, just lost his job. He, not ...…

It's been a long minute since the three of us got together, so let's rebuild some chemistry and start with The Rated Game. Toys R Us, machetes, Carmen Sandiego and more. It was Phillipe's birthday bash last night. You may very well recall more of it than he does, BUT there was some major ex-roomate drama that's he elated to share. His actual bi ...…

Finally, tracked down the girl from the BCSN billboards! First up, on the spot again, WHO SUCKS IN LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL!? Tell me about this star at St. John's!? As you can see from the spelling, Jordan's name is often mispronounced, and for the first time ever, my legal first name, which also get butchered. Thanks for the inspo Kyle Lowr ...…

I've been stewing, and doing A LOT of talking the last few days. I've enjoyed the talking and teaching, but not the stewing. We're all tense and taking sides because of the hearings. I've kept my opinion out of it to keep my sanity. But I'm steaming, so I came in early to podcast! Do what works for you to feel better and don't give a fuck what ...…

I'm on the advisory board for a local program that helps pair no-cost adopted animals - usually cats and dogs - from the TAHS with people who endure chronic mental health issues. Pets + mental health. Two touchstones of mine. HARP. Hope and Recovery Pets program. LIKE IT! UT's Dr. Janet Hoy-Gerlach is one of the founders of the program. Tuesday ...…

We've come a long way from early morning interviews for Equality Toledo events and me playfully (I swear) mispronouncing Nick's last name. I can't do that anymore. As a councilmember he could throw me in jail or create some Komives dog tax on my beagles! Nick's here to follow up on Monday's podcast episode with Katie about safe injection sites ...…

She's one of Toledo's best of 20 under 40, as of last night. Thanks to all of her incredible community contributions, headlined by making sure our Toledo Pride is one of the best LGBT celebrations in the Midwest. Maybe best of all, she's my friend. Lexi Staples! What's happening at her place, the Collingwood Arts Center. Fringefest THIS WEEKEND ...…

Yea sex is good, but recovery is better. Remember Katie? I met her a few years ago when she was one of the early members of Team Recovery. Katie was an addict. Now she's succeeding at recovery. She hit me up and demanded a new episode and here we are. Actually, we're here because she hit the skids - as I do and detail in this podcast - over the ...…

Ashleigh's babysitter quit...over 'salary' issues. She also received a very very dirty text. From a stranger. Eric's anxiety alarm went off a bit from a Facebook message about his ex-gf. And as usual, D has ruined Eric’s excitement over a party tonight. Short shorts from Goodwill 🚫 Demetrius and Kara are taking a three year old to an adult play ...…

Henry Cavill isn't going to be Superman anymore? We're not sure. But as that rumor exploded last week, the name Michael B. Jordan was floated as a potential successor. If you didn't know, Cavill is white, like Clark Kent and Superman. MBJ is not white. But he's white hot as far as cinema is concerned right now. I can see the appeal. Vinny and P ...…

It'll be my fifth year hosting the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's Out of the Darkness walk. Mouthfuls. AFSP and OOTD (not outfit of the day!) from here on out, so keep up. At the walk, I say I'm there, so that one day my dad doesn't have to be. I could give you all the details of the event, but I'd rather you spend the time listen ...…

I made some new friends going through the home buying process. And no, I didn't paint orange walls in a new home. I'm staying right where I am - for reasons - and decided to add some new life to the place after six years. Anyway, Kim and her daughter Kylene - who I did not kill (towards the end of the episodes) - basically provided me with a th ...…

Finally! Our schedules allowed us to get together for the first time in a while. As for schedules, as a group we'll break down Mark Wahlberg's peculiar schedule, and then Demetrius will walk us through his routine that begins nearly as early as Wahlberg's. A lot of coffee and the wrong kind of TV show to ask for sex with. First, I had a very De ...…

I call her cancer's worst enemy. Because TWICE now my dear friend and former coworker Mary Beth Zolik has beaten cancer. You may have read about or seen her story on WTOL, but you know what to do this podcast style. How was Peg an integral part in aiding Mary Beth to help her literally save her own life? Why are T cell's pumped up? Let's give y ...…

My friend Cheryl Leonard from the Glass City Grind is here to talk about the show's upcoming fourth season on YouTube and on Buckeye channel 69. Yes. That show name on that channel. Stop! It's about all kinds of area events and people doing good things here where we live. But first, just Eric and Cheryl chat. She needs to learn how to curse. He ...…

That is a Marvel reference NOT being overly conceited. Hey, the first of several episodes this week! A former coworker and also a Toledo radio legend will be on with me Thursday! I'm seething. My rage is greener than Hulk's. Why? I dunno. But the long lasting stomach issue IS central part of it I assure you. Good news. I'm not anxious that it's ...…

Ashleigh and Phillipe wanna know why Eric was in a Walmart. Ashleigh's old Bumble store is getting a tasty new tenant. A haunted house for sale in Maumee, but why? And all the drama with Mac Miller, Em + MGK and Nicki v Cardi.

The Browns haven't won anything since...well, I can't remember. Bernie Kosas, some drama that happened against John Elway, the team leaving Cleveland. It's a sad history. Toledo rock radio legend Grizzly Brown from 94.5 XKR is the most optomistic and devoted Browns fan I've ever met. All the losses, all the quarterbacks, all the head coaches, a ...…

I've been saying it since back in early August. 'Ya know, we always seem to have playoff hockey in Toledo. It's quite possible we could have playoff baseball.' And for the first time in Toledo since 2007, the Mud Hens are in the playoffs. Six wins from the Governors Cup and the International League championship. Super quick chat with Rob Wierci ...…

My house hunting has come to an end. It was a win-win situation, which was as agonizing as a no-win situation for many people. Whoa is me. After two intense weeks of spending time on Zillow, in other people's homes and getting extremely close with my realtors from Howard Hanna - Kim and Kylene Boos - I'm...right where I started. I think for a s ...…

I fucked up yesterday. I owe you, since last night's episode was cut shorter than I wanted. Tonight... Last night's show SUCKED. I was in a foul mood. Let me walk you through WHY and how I knew to let some questionable sentiments pass, so I didn't make any regrettable decisions. Needed Twitter changes! I didn't make a big deal of it, but I know ...…

OY! Justin Camuso and Vinny may have to come back and we might have to redo this, or at least give it a solid PART II. Some tech difficulties arose so we had zoom to the end of our summer movie review/fall preview. Don't worry though, if you've seen it since April, we probably get to it. Avengers Jurassic Incredibles Mission Impossible and more ...…

My TEDx Toledo buddy Alex Goetz is back but not to talk about his specialty, wildlife documentaries, but to invite you to Maumee Film Festival that happens at the end of September. Lemme do the math for you. This'll cost you about six or ten bucks, depending when you go, for dozens of short films, and that's about the cost of a ticket or a soda ...…

A rare Sunday podcast episode, but we missed a promised show yesterday. Irresponsible drinking and Art Van-ing. Whose service I've been more than pleased with! Ashleigh caught an animal sounding virus and it never got the 'it's going around' tag. And her Tucker is back to school. With that comes some parenting calculus. For the big finale, let' ...…

Unless you've been living under some type of scary cult like structure, you know that I'm Jewish. Or as a friend once said, since I'm a lousy Jew, we're Jew-ish. My real last name is Weisberg. So there. The response to 'CHASE ISN'T A JEWISH LAST NAME' is now public. No, no it isn't. My friends at a certain building on Sylvania Avenue are doing ...…
