Today i'm joined by friend of the show, Billy Sutherland of Iron Road, and Billy brings along the excellent Teresa Lampl from The Ohio Council. If you're unfamiliar with The Ohio Council, The Ohio Council is a statewide trade and advocacy association representing over 170 private businesses providing community-based prevention, substance use, mental health, and family services throughout Ohio. Our member organizations care for individuals and families across the lifespan by offering person-centered services and support. We tend to treat physical health one way, and ignore mental health as a people - and I know this affects us all, and thought it was of great importance to dive in during trying times, so we can all support each other! Also enjoyed some Illicit Elixirs beverages, as well as Recess wellness drinks! Great stuff!…

WHOA! Ok, no words are needed for this. Two Cincinnati Titans have come together to create this incredible new treat, the Skyline Spice ice cream with oyster crackers! I absolutely loved it, which I guess is a spoiler, but I cannot wait for Cincinnati to try. I was so thankful to sit down with Shannon from Graeter's to talk all about the brand, their ideation process, how they partnered with Skyline for this excellent treat, and then we made our own versions of 3-ways in the form of a sundae! It was so awesome. If you're hearing this episode, this ice cream is now available at Jungle Jim's, and of course at Graeter's Scoop Shops as well as for shipping online through Graeter's!

Even cooler, they came in to make some REALLY unique sundaes with me - like the pickle ice cream sundae, a Blue Moon Orange Sherbet float, potato chip sundae, and more! I learned more about ice cream than I thought I could, which is why I've been eating so much of it while writing up this episode's details. Hugely thankful for their time coming down to Jungle Jim's, so make sure you come in and eat through their entire line, INCLUDING the spumoni! Hope to visit the factory soon!…

It's a week of snow days here in the greater Cincinnati area, but Jungle Jim's International Market is open for YOU!

In the meantime, we talk about our personal opinions on dyes in food, chemicals in food, all while pressing Screaming Sicilian Pizza, fresh bao, and much more in our panini press! Weird week!

When you need some help, can you say "I got a guy?" - I can and i'm going to introduce you to him this week, Lou! Lou's a relatively new add to the Jungle family and he's partly responsible for all the great deals you've been seeing in the stores these days! Who else gets us 3 for a $1 packages of gnocchi? Then, i'm joined by the Tackett family best known as the Happy Human Adventurers. We met them years ago with Dr. Karen in the store and became friends quickly. After years of hearing you all request us to do something a little more cozy and distracting from all the family craziness of Thanksgiving week, we decided to keep it low key and try some products they brought us, along with some quick Thanksgiving leftover tips. We even get to try the Hot Fudge Sundae Liquid Death water. It was weird! Be good to each other, and we'll see you after the holiday! Get the Jungle Jim's app for deals, and follow the Tackett Family at https://www.youtube.com/c/TheHappyHumanAdventurers/…

Did you know The Jungle Jim's Podcast is syndicated on The Oasis FM here in Cincinnati? You should tune in on Sunday mornings when we do a special version of the Jungle Jim's Podcast for their show! Thankfully, a long time friend of mine works at Oasis and handles all their production and his name is Jason Newton! Jason, who you may know from his YEARS and years of experience in Cincinnati media production as "Notorious," or from the many excellent concerts he's booked and promoted in the area. Jason is responsible for so many great times in my personal life that I thought it would be great to celebrate his hard work, dive into the ins and outs of our local media scene, all while celebrating his birthday with an excellent Boston Cream Cake made RIGHT HERE in the Jungle Jim's bakery.

Me and Karma (Water) Vibe Like That 45:40

This week, I'm kicking it off by reminiscing about FizzFest, one of my favorite festivals that has ever happened at Jungle Jim's. I met this week's guest at FizzFest and fell in love, but only let them know about that love in person during THIS interview. I was super stoked to have Karma Water on because I believe in their product and think it tastes awesome, especially with some of the new offerings that they've has brought to the lineup recently. To give you a little info on their current lineup: Karma Probiotic Water delivers more than 10X the active probiotic cultures than yogurt. With 2 billion cultures, 100% of 6 essential vitamins, and only 20 calories, Karma Probiotic Water optimizes digestive health and immune support, and Karma Energy Water offers a proprietary blend of natural caffeine and the patented nootropic, Cognizin® Citicoline, to provide you with the push of energy and mental acuity you need to get through the day. Plus, Karma Energy Water is made without any artificial sweeteners, colors, flavors, or preservatives, and it offers 100% of your daily value of Vitamin C and B-Complex. Between their energy waters and their probiotic drinks, there is a little something for everyone. I still need to try the Raspberry Peach one. Karma Water is also launching a whole new line of products that will both come into Jungle Jim's as well as be available direct to consumer and I am hyped to try their upcoming packets you can use on any refillable bottle. Awesome stuff. Learn more in the meantime at https://drinkkarma.com/ - All that and more on the Jungle Jim's podcast!…
