Mark Towhey is in for Deb Hutton and opened with guest tech expert Carmi Levy, who broke down the viral Waymo‑crash confusion and then discussedand explained the Pentagon’s push toward quantum navigation. Listeners then jumped in with their most disappointing tech purchases—from useless walkie‑talkies to tablets that never found a purpose—mixed with a spirited side‑debate about raisins ruining perfectly good baked goods. The hour wrapped with sharp commentary on Toronto Police communications, escalating protest rhetoric, and a look at how U.S.‑sourced guns continue to drive violence in Canada.

Mark Towhey is in for Deb and Jim today and he kicked off the show with a mix of fun personal observations—from great subway drivers and multilingual Toronto moments to rants about watch repair, Pilates confusion, and the menace of oatmeal‑raisin cookies—before diving into listener calls about the realities of becoming a school bus driver. The highlight of the hour was a conversation with Barrie Police Chief Rich Johnston, who explained why the city’s new bright yellow-and-blue “Euro-style” cruisers improve visibility, officer safety, and community awareness. The hour wrapped with calls debating whether Toronto should move toward more high‑visibility police cars too.
