The Financial Guys are in for Bauerle once again for Bauerle and among the topics of discussion today, the terror attack over the weekend in Boulder, CO, committed by someone illegally living in the United States, illegal immigration, and with team member and financial analyst John Thur, the guys discuss the market and some of the good and bad of this Trump presidency, the good things he's done so far and what things do you wish he'd do differently?

The Financial Guys are back in for Bauerle, Glenn Wiggle, Mike Sperrazza, and Mike Hoeflich, and today, to keep it somewhat light on a Friday, we talk AI. Are you using AI? Does it worry you? Do you see it as an opportunity or are you worried about it potentially displacing jobs? We even have a few guest appearances from Grok throughout the program.

Beamer is in for Bauerle today and we touch on the Buffalo Common Council approving a new $622 million budget, we talk about a local publication's coverage of migrant families being detained by CBP at the U.S./Canada border, and after another stabbing over the weekend at the Walden Galleria, we ask, what is the solution for the Galleria, why are we seeing these incidents with more frequency there and what can be done to make it safer?

After beginning the show talking to all you motorcycle riders out there, we wrap up the show asking you the dumbest way you've ended up in the E.R., and in addition to that, what is the worst pain you've ever felt, injury related or otherwise?

For some, Memorial Day is a day filled with booze and barbecue, and while that's okay, it should not be forgotten that Memorial Day is a day of reflection, remembrance, and gratitude for those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of their country and it's freedoms. Who is someone you will be remembering this Memorial Day?

So far, the weather throughout the month of May in Buffalo has been less than pleasant. We've seen a good amount of rain and temperatures than are much cooler than they were last year. Filling us in on what to expect this Memorial Day weekend as far as temperatures and conditions, is meteorologist Andy Parker.

Today, we're talking hair loss. Have you dealt with it? If so, how did you deal with it. If you were to ever lose your hair, what would you do about it. Were you one of the few who experienced hair loss as a result of COVID or the jab or was it caused by something like alopecia?

Bauerle returns today and immediately gets hot and heavy with it, as we find out about your hygiene habits. Are you a shower or a bath person? Are you a heavy cologne or perfume user? And most importantly, were you one of the thousands in Western New York who were subjected to swimming naked in high school?

Nursing homes are back in the news after workers at five different homes in Western New York have gone on a seven-day unfair labor practice strike after not reaching a deal for a new contract Monday night. With that in mind, Beamer asks you your thoughts on the strike, as well as if you've had any experiences with nursing homes, whether you've worked at one or had family in one. Also, we talk to Brandon Galligan of Yelp Buffalo and dive a little into Jake Tapper's new book 'Original Sin' about the decline of Joe Biden and the associated cover up.

It's Joe Beamer filling in for Tom Bauerle, and we start off talking about downtown Buffalo. Is there any hope for downtown Buffalo? If you were in a position of power, what would you suggest to attract business back downtown? We've got that, among other topics, such as social media stunting our social growth, Station 12 finally adding a new tenant, and more.

The first topic is about visiting cemeteries. Topic 2 is about social anxiety (are you a social person).

This topic was spawned by a call from Jim of North Tonawanda yesterday, where he made a historical reference and echoed the sentiment that people are bored by history today and cannot make informed decisions about their future because they don't know enough about the past. Where are you on history? Does history bore you to tears or are you transfixed by any mention of history?

Even during shows where it's not the topic, the changing demographics of the United States continually get mentioned. The U.S. birthrate has been declining, and this decline is not even exclusive to the United States. As far as the United States is concerned, why do you think the birthrate is declining, why are people not having as many kids as they used to, if at all?

There was still some untapped potential waiting to be tapped into with the topic we rounded out yesterday's show with, so we pick up today with any moving horror stories you have and housing horror stories in general, did you buy a home that turned out to be one big money pit? And also, as a side topic, what do you make of the current state of the neighborhood you grew up in? Is it anything like it used to be? Has it gone downhill?

It's a horror story type of show today, particularly centered around deliveries and moving, Tom takes your calls on or best (or perhaps worst) delivery/moving horror stories.

We bring aboard Don Arthur of Brighton Eggert Pharmacy to open the show, talking about Rite Aid's recent bankruptcy filing and the sweeping closures they will soon see. Following that, we've got topics old and new. What are some objects that you used to use routinely that have now become obsolete? And with A.I. becoming a fixture in society now with numerous platforms out there, such as ChatGPT, Grok, and the like, Tom wants to know if you've dipped your toes into A.I. yet, and if so, what do you use it for?

After fielding a couple of calls during the show yesterday that stuck with him about schools covering up incidents, that leads Tom to explore the broader topic of bullying today. Have you experienced bullying? You may have been the target or you may have children or grandchildren that went through it, you may have even been the bully yourself. What is your experience with bullying, and whatever the case was, how was it ultimately handled?
