Still somewhat on the topic of the car theft by juveniles in Cheektowaga yesterday, that brings up the larger question of respect, are people in positions of power receiving less respect than they used to? As far as these kids acting out, is it a lack of discipline thing? How did your parents discipline you, what was their 'nuclear' punishment option?

Since it's July and you may be looking for some plans to fill out the summer without breaking the bank, we take your suggestions on some of the best trip ideas that can be made with a tank or so of gasoline.

If you've managed to avoid the much maligned smart meters to this point, they'll be even harder to evade as National Grid is expected to begin installing smart meters in Erie County and greater Buffalo.

Meteorologist Andy Parker joins the show as there is the potential for some severe thunderstorms to brew up across Western New York in the immediate future.

To start the show off today, we re-visit the claims made against Buffalo Public Schools by Richard Hy. As it turns out, as WBEN uncovered via a FOIA request, a rape did take place at McKinley High School recently. Knowing that now, if you didn't believe Detective Hy before, do you now? Also, we'd be remiss if we didn't cover some Independence Day topics, including a Facebook post where someone que...

Calling all Catholics: what are your feelings on the state of the Buffalo Catholic Diocese right now? Recently, the Saint Timothy Parish in the Town of Tonawanda was asked to pay $5 million toward the $150 million clergy sexual abuse settlement, and numerous other parishes have been asked to pony up as well.

In an appearance on David Bellavia's program today, Erie County Clerk Mickey Kearns hinted at a potential run for mayor of Buffalo, despite the fact the primary elections have passed, saying there are 'things that can be done'. If he were somehow able to get his name on the ballot or launch a write-in campaign à la Byron Brown, should he throw his name in the ring for the next mayor of Buffalo?

Today, we're talking garbage picking, no shame in that. Are you a garbage picker? And to close things out, given that we live in the technological and communication age, we've all been in this position before. Whether you were the sender or receiver, have you ever sent the wrong text to the wrong person?

Also on today's program, how into politics are you? How much of your screen time is dedicated to consuming political content?

We've done the show about having 'the conversation' with elderly family members about driving, today we put a different twist on that. Have you ever had to have the conversation with someone about their hearing faltering? How do you approach that conversation?

In addition to dropping bombs on nuclear sites in Iran, another bomb was dropped by President Trump on Tuesday, perhaps the most controversial of any of the bombs he's dropped over the last week or so. This of course being the 'F' bomb, which he used in front of reporters lamenting how both Iran and Israel violated a US-brokered ceasefire. Were you bothered by President Trump's use of the 'F' bomb...

The future of the Kenmore Days festival is now in limbo after multiple fights broke out at this year's festival. Should the festival be discontinued due to the unruly behavior of individuals in attendance?
