# 177 There is a strike in Philadelphia by the members of DC33. They include trash collectors, 911 dispatchers and health center workers. There has been a lot of back and forth already between sides, but some of the arguments just don't hold water. In this episode, I cover some of the false information out there and my thoughts on what each side should do. See if you agree with me or not! Support the show

#176 It would seem impossible, but people find ways to act badly, even on a cruise vacation! Recently there was yet another brawl on a cruise ship. I don't know if it's the cruiseline or the people or the alcohol, but to me it's a bit ridiculous. In this episode I talk about the latest fight I heard about and why I can't understand the nonsense! See if you agree! Support the show

#175 The rocket Blue Origin recently made history with an all female crew. Many people have always wanted to be lucky enough to take that trip. Well, not me! In this episode I talk a little about why it is definitely not on my bucket list. You might agree, or you might be crazy, lol! Support the show

#174 With modern technology, there have been some really great advances. But somethings are overly complicated for no reason. And other things are not as convenient as they seem. A good example is the lack of physical buttons in cars. However, there seems to be reverse trend, and I'm all for it. Listen in and let me know if you are pro button like me! Support the show

#173 Well, apparently it's time for me to do another movie review. I recently saw Gladiator 2 and boy do I have thoughts! If you have seen the first movie it is based on, I am sure you have some strong feelings about it yourself! I'm not really going to be talking about the actors and their abilities. My thoughts are really around the big picture. Or lack thereof! See if you agree! Support the show

#172 So recently I found out that a credit card I was supposed to get in the mail was stolen. Worst it likely happened at the Post Office! Now, I know for some you may not care, but it is highly frustrating to not get something you were supposed to. In this episode, I talk about what happened, and how I think it can be avoided in the future. See if you agree! Support the show

#171  Recently, there were two plane tragedies in the same week. One in DC and one in Philly. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and all those affected. It is hard to believe it, but even with this, air travel is relatively safe. What I do have a concern with, if that is the right term, is the way we consume this news. Pictures and videos and interviews pop up faster and faster. And we can't wait for more. Is that the problem when tragedy strikes? Or a necessary evil?  Support the show

#170 There is a really bad trend happening at some airports. People are willing to do almost anything to get that all important preboarding designation. But it really seems to be crossing a line. In this episode I dive into this new bad behavior involving wheelchairs. And I can tell you now-I don't like it! Support the show

#169 Welcome to 2025! Almost, lol! Time really flies when you are super busy! I can't believe we are here already, but I hope a new year brings good things for all! Support the show

#168 There was a recent case of a missing woman, Hannah Kobayashi, who turned out not to be missing at all. There are a lot of mysteries in this case, but we know she is safe. It does bring up other issues and questions, and in this episode I talk a bit about that. Tune in and let me know how you feel about an adult deciding to walk away from life. Support the show

#167 I recently saw the movie Wicked, and I definitely have thoughts! I am a big fan of the musical, so I wasn't sure that I would be happy with the big screen adaptation. So much can go wrong, and Hollywood has been hit and miss when it comes to musical to movie creations. In this episode I let you know what I think and get into detail about some of the choices actors made. Listen in and see if you agree! Support the show

#166 Well I have had a few weeks where crazy things were happening. My laptop went on the fritz, so I couldn't create episodes, and the Presidential election happened. Yeah, that. So in this episode I talk a bit about what has happened and I give a shout out where it's well deserved. Listen in to find out what that's all about! Support the show

#165 With the recent death of baseball legend Pete Rose, there are some uncomfortable truths that arise. One is that he bet on baseball, a seemingly unforgiveable crime. Another is that he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame for his accomplishments on the field, but may never get there. In this episode I talk about what I think should happpen, and get into how it seems there are worse things a person could do without being banned. Or are there? Support the show

#164 Recently a big indictment was revealed against NYC Mayor Eric Adams. He has seemingly been involved in some criminal activity and the Feds say it goes back to when he was a Borough President. I will never understand how politicians keep getting themselves into trouble! From Senator Menedez to Former President Trump in recent times, it seems that people in power will get there by any means necessary. Things are unfurling for Mayor Adams, and as of now it doesn't look good for him! Support the show

#163 Reality TV is getting a little more real this season. On Dancing With The Stars, a contestant named Anaa Delvey will be on the new cast. If you think her name is familiar, then you may also know that her real name is Anna Sorokin, and she is a convicted felon! She committed fraud and served time in prison. So why is she on DWTS? Good question! In this episode I talk about this and what I think, you might agree with me. But one thing is for sure, ABC will get great ratings! Support the show
