    Episode 208 : Russ Hoinke!
    2026/09/05
    On this edition of Straight Up 5 With Todd McGill, Todd McGill and Rad Rob, we welcome Russ Hoinke to the show! Russ Hoinke is primarily known as a prominent bowling business owner and former manager of Western Bowl in Cincinnati, Ohio. He is part of the historic Hoinke family, which pioneered The Hoinke Classic, widely recognized as one of the largest and most prestigious private amateur bowling tournaments in the United States. The Family Legacy : The tournament was originally founded in 1943 by his grandfather, Erwin Hoinke Sr., to promote the sport and war bonds. It was later expanded significantly by Russ's father, Erwin "Erv" Hoinke Jr., a legendary figure in the Cincinnati bowling community. Russ Hoinke operated Western Bowl—a massive 68-lane landmark on Cincinnati's West Side that served as the long-time home of the tournament. In 2009, citing financial strains from a shifting economy, the fading popularity of traditional bowling leagues, and local legislative changes, Russ Hoinke and his family made the tough decision to step away from the business. The iconic facility and the tournament itself were eventually transitioned to new ownership, moving to the Strike & Spare family entertainment group. Though the family no longer owns the center, the prestigious Hoinke Classic legacy continues to host tens of thousands of bowlers annually.

    Episode 201 : Derek Taylor!
    2026/07/04
    On this edition of Straight Up 5 With Todd McGill, Todd McGill and Rad Rob welcome Derek Taylor to the show!

    How do you find hope after losing everything? In this powerful and deeply moving episode, Derek Taylor shares the remarkable story of a life marked by triumph, tragedy, addiction, loss, and ultimately, redemption. From building a successful career and raising a family to caring for his wife through her courageous battle with a rare form of cancer, Derek's world was forever changed by circumstances and choices that led him down a path of addiction and into federal prison. But this is not where his story ends.

    Derek opens up about the miracle that allowed him to spend his wife's final days by her side, the lessons he learned during nearly five years of incarceration, and the promise he made to honor her memory by becoming a better man. After his release, he rebuilt his life one step at a time—earning back trust, returning to the career he loves, rising into leadership, finding love again, and discovering new purpose through faith, family, and perseverance.

    This episode is a testament to the power of second chances. No matter how far you've fallen or how impossible your circumstances may seem, your story is never over. Healing is possible, redemption is real, and hope can be found even in life's darkest moments. If you've ever wondered whether it's possible to start over, Derek's story is proof that resilience, determination, and the courage to change can lead to a future greater than you ever imagined
