Ohio high school football kicked off last week with the seventh meeting between Hamilton and Badin, a crosstown rivalry that has become a showcase for our city. Despite Hamilton's talent and momentum from last year's win, Badin secured their fifth victory in the series with a 38-20 final score.

• The energy seemed off from the start with Hamilton
• Badin returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown, immediately shifting momentum
• Hamilton led 14-10 at halftime but couldn't maintain their advantage
• Coach Nick Yordy's second-half adjustments proved too much for Hamilton to overcome
• Hamilton's talented roster includes a poised quarterback and explosive skill players
• The Greater Miami Conference (GMC) title remains within reach despite this setback
• Players should "eat this loss" and use it as motivation for next week against Sycamore
• A Talawanda running back made national headlines with 423 rushing yards in Week 1

Next year game is at Matandy SportPlex, creating another chapter in this evolving rivalry. Go Big Blue!

Ever wonder what happens when podcast opportunity knocks but uses the wrong doorbell? Michael Gillespie opens this episode with a cautionary tale about business opportunities that don't follow proper channels. Despite tempting collaboration offers landing in his personal inbox, Michael's military background taught him to question why these potential partners bypassed his clearly posted business email. His thoughtful analysis reminds creators that legitimate opportunities typically respect established protocols.

The heart of the episode dives into Michael's experiences managing "YPs" (Young People) in the workplace, painting a nuanced portrait that defies generational stereotypes. We meet an exceptional young employee balancing her day job with entrepreneurial side hustles and film appearances, whose brutal honesty about Michael's music choices earned his deepest respect.

The episode reaches its comedic peak with Michael's introduction of "Thug 1" and "Thug 2" – particularly the latter, whose 4'4" frame houses an intimidating presence that has Michael genuinely scared despite their significant height difference. When she threatens to "put someone on a shirt" (referring to memorial t-shirts), Michael's entertaining fear perfectly captures the surprising dynamics that can emerge in workplace relationships. Through laughter and reflection, this episode offers valuable insights about authenticity, proper communication channels, and managing diverse personalities in professional environments.

Have you ever wondered what really happens at senior facilities? In this raw and uncensored episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the bizarre, hilarious, and sometimes disturbing realities of working in senior healthcare.

From my archives comes a collection of unforgettable tales that perfectly capture the stranger side of caring for elderly patients. There's the diabetic who demanded 60 ounces of regular Coca-Cola daily despite having already lost part of his leg, and the woman who transformed her room into an 80s time capsule complete with vintage perfumes that made her space smell "exactly like the Golden Girls' house" – all while insisting I call her "Delicious" (which I absolutely refused).

The healthcare system itself comes under scrutiny as I reveal the shockingly simple "BIMS test" used to determine a resident's mental competence – remember three words and know approximately what year it is, and you're deemed capable of making all your decisions. I discuss paradox where patients refuse to practice essential skills like coming down to the dining room, then complain when their food arrives cold to their rooms.

Most memorably (though you might wish you could forget), I share my encounters with what staff called "doodoo men" Hope you enjoy!
