We dive headfirst into the strange crossroads of fashion, politics, and corporate branding. From Sydney Sweeney turning heads in American Eagle jeans to Gavin Newsom dusting off Trump's old playbook with a fresh round of gerrymandering, the culture wars are alive and well. Cracker Barrel decides it's time to ditch the barrel (and Uncle Herschel) in a bold rebrand, while Google stirs controversy with a “preferred source” option that risks deepening divides online. And if that wasn't enough, the merch wars heat up with the jaw-dropping arrival of “Trump Was Right About Everything” hats.It's politics, pop culture, and marketing madness — all in one episode.

This morning we're honored to sit down with a true Lorain legend: Tony Giardini.Tony has spent over 40 years as a top-tier attorney and driven force behind Lorain's economic Main Street Lorain Development/ Lorain Growth. As partner at Giardini, Poplar & Mason, he's spearheaded transformative commercial real-estate projects—most notably the Lighthouse Village shopping center, the Harborwalk residential community on the Black River, and the iconic Shipyards Event Center in the old industrial shipyard.But Tony's impact extends well beyond property. A longtime member and former chair of the Lorain County Democratic Party and the Board of Elections, he's been a steady voice in civic leadership since at least 1997. He's also active on Main Street initiatives, championing downtown revitalization and urging public-private investment to boost local growth.Whether drafting contracts, fighting for fair elections, or raising a glass to a stronger Lorain, Tony's blend of legal prowess, entrepreneurial spirit, and community heart is what makes today's bar talk one for the books

We've got a very special guest in the house—someone who's been shaking up the system, asking the questions most are too scared to. She's a fierce journalist, a fearless truth-teller, and the founder of Mean Street News… please welcome Katty Beyer to the mic!Katty's been on the front lines of some of the most important grassroots stories in Ohio—digging into injustice, exposing corruption, and giving voice to those who've been silenced for too long. And tonight, she's here to talk with us about the Ohio 4 case, the power of independent journalism, and what it takes to bring truth to light.

Today's guest is someone whose life has been deeply shaped by one of Ohio's most controversial criminal cases. Amber Smith was just a child when her mother, Nancy Smith, was accused and later wrongfully convicted of crimes that shook the community of Lorain to its core. While much has been said about the case from the legal side, we rarely hear the story of what it was like to grow up as the daughter of the accused—and what it means to live with that legacy. Amber joins us today not only as a witness to history but as a woman with her own voice, her own truth, and her own fight for justice. This is not just a story about a wrongful conviction—it's a story about endurance, motherhood, and reclaiming identity.

We shall see where this goes but dad is really only available while working

1. We admitted we were powerless over alcohol — that our lives had become unmanageable.2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.5. Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

William Foster, the author of "From The Game To The Kingdom," brings a compelling narrative drawn from his own life experiences. Growing up in a neighborhood that was a breeding ground for professional thieves and con men, Foster's early life was marked by a pursuit of the hustler's dream, immersed in a world where loyalty and honor were currency among the legends of deception. His journey from the streets to a 14-year prison term, and ultimately to a spiritual awakening, forms the crux of his book. "From The Game To The Kingdom" is not just a tale of personal transformation but also a testimony to the power of redemption and the profound impact of faith in one's life. Through his raw, honest storytelling, Foster shares insights into the harsh realities of street life, the consequences of choices made, and the possibility of finding a new path through faith
