Show Notes

In this episode of My World Live, Laff, and Whatever, host Stu Scheer is joined by frequent guest Quintin Kidd (also known as "Santa") for a deep dive into the growing tension surrounding data center expansion in Ohio communities like Piqua, Wilmington, and Sydney. Stu and Quintin critique the lack of transparency, the use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) by city officials, and the resulting breakdown in public trust.

The conversation shifts to the political landscape, where the duo discusses the massive influence of data center lobbyists in Columbus, campaign contributions, and the "silly season" of state politics. Stu shares frustration over the disappearing content on social media platforms and the challenges of organizing community efforts in an environment where local government feels increasingly inaccessible. The episode is punctuated with Stu’s personal anecdotes about life in the Midwest, a bit of "Cajun humor," and the ongoing commitment of the Trim Radio Network to "cut the bull and serve the truth."
