I finally get to have a long overdue mental health discussion with my brother, Benjamin.

Part 2 of the mental health series with Neighbor Larry.

Continuing our mental health discussions, this week we are joined by Neighbor Larry.

We finally got Five Nights at Freddy's movie!!! After numerous viewings, scene breakdowns, storyline nitpicking, etc. Jordyn, Kenadie, and I give our thoughts on the film.

The Four Horsemen reunion! Neighbor Larry, Donnie V, Big Ben Shady, and I, head to uptown Toledo and check out Quenched and Tempered Brewing Co.

As a fan of Hot Ones, I've always wanted to do their challenge. But why buy 10 sauces for only 1 episode? We start out a brand new series, our own take, our own Hot Sauce Challenge, with Jordyn and I going through 15 different flavors at Buffalo Wild Wings!

We look ahead to what is planned for this season.

A round table discussion with the kids regarding school safety procedures.

In the first of a series, we tackle mental health topics with Jake Frost, and his take on the topic.

It's bowl season! Here are my predictions for the college football bowl games.

Our final brew tour episode of the season takes Donnie V. and I to Black Frog Brewery in Holland.

Our follow up, of sorts, to our October Friday the 13th episode where we discuss how the haunt season went. Same topic, but different cast. This time we have some of the youngsters giving their input and reactions.

What was supposed to be a fairly short, unofficial season 4 recap turned into a pretty deep discussion with Jordyn.

It's Friday the 13th! Let's talk spooky stuff! Jordyn and I have ourselves a round table discussion of all things Halloween related. Kendra and Jasmine return, and we meet new guest Ellie!

We are back at Aistear Brewing with their owner, Chris Thompson. Instead of talking beers, this time we're talking cons. Aistear Con! It takes place from October 20-22. Chris breaks down what it is, how and why it started, and leaks some secret brews to Donnie V and I. Table top games, artists, D&D, braggots, vendors, food trucks, live music, and more.

Wrapping up our 2023 amusement park tour series takes Kenadie and I to Kings Island. I expected a Saturday visit to a popular park to be busy, and it was. So I got us (and her first experience with) fast lane passes. Was it worth it? Find out!

Jake Frost, Donnie V, and I head out to Maumee and check out Four Fires Meadery.

Donnie V. and I make another trip to Bowling Green! This time we visit Juniper Brewing Co. We split a flight and a few appetizers, and rave about this brew pub. By the way, they also have a coffee shop! (Jordyn got a hot chocolate.)

Our amusement park tour continues as Kenadie and I visit Carowinds!

Taking you back to June 23, Donnie V. and I made our first visit to Red Ramblers Coffee/Ramblin Reds Brewing in Wauseon, OH. This visit was more about the beers they brew, not the coffee they roast. (Oh, and I was given a nickname: High Five Guy!) Performing that day was a really fun band, Kall Me Kendra! Their lead singer, Kendra Louy, was kind enough to stop by and say Hi between sets, too!
