A Few Moments With Howie Mandel
has been doing stand-up comedy since 1978. Along the way, he has been the voice of Skeeter in the Muppet Babies, Bo9bby in Bobby's World, written a book, been a game show host, and a judge on America's Got Talent! And today, he joins us in advance of his . We chat about the beginnings, his mentors, and the bouquet of forget-me-nots he promised to send me when I lost track of what I was thinking. Of course, we talked about his show on the 17th which will be an incredible, unscripted, "who the heck knows where this will go" kind of night! On a more serious note, we dove a bit into his own OCD and the need to increase awareness and treatment for mental illness while erasing the stigma! Have a listen now, and then grab your best friend and get a pair of tickets!

Local Business Spotlight: IAFF Local 1563
Unlike your kids or your dogs, when you call them, they come! I am talking about the 1000+ men and women who make up the Anne Arundel County Fire Department! Sure, the department is an arm of the County Government, but the is the Union that collectively bargains for their pay and benefits, makes sure that they are staffed safely, and they are getting the support they need. After all, they see some pretty horrid things in the course of their duty! Today, we speak with Joe Addivinola, the long-time President of IAFF Local 1563, to see how the union plays a role. And, it is a lot larger than I imagined! From literacy campaigns to coat drives, our Firefighters, EMTs, and Paramedics go all out for the community when they are not working that 24 on 3 off shift! Did you know that the Union owns a four-story building in Millersville? Did you know there is a huge banquet room that can be rented out? Did you know they are a nonprofit, and you can donate directly to support their work? Me either! Joe even lets us know his thoughts about Anne Arundel County Executive Pittman! This was a VERY enlightening conversation and some insight into the men and women who put the wet stuff on the red stuff! Have a listen! LINKS: (Website) (Facebook) (X)

Local Business Spotlight: Annapolis Area Mobile Vet
Pets are family! And no one knows that better than Dr. Megan Martorana. After practicing for many years, Dr. Megan decided to put four wheels under her practice and bring the vet to you. Enter ! Look it's stressful going to a people doctor. Imagine the stress for a beloved cat or dog? Here, get in this crate... drive around for a while and wham-- some guy in a white coat is poking your butt with a needle. Was it a trip to the vet? Or an abduction! Annapolis Area Mobile Vet takes a different approach. Think of her as your old-time primary care physician. She comes to your home (or wherever your loved one may be) and introduces herself and offers a treat and a belly rub to get acquainted. Once comfortable, your dog or cat can be cared for in the place where they are most comfortable. Need a bonus ? Instead of a quick check by the doc, Dr. Megan will spend as long as it takes to make you and your pet comfortable!Makes perfect sense to me! Do you have a four legged family member? Have a listen! NOTE: We met and recorded at Bean Rush Cafe in West Annapolis and it was super busy (yay for them) and super loud (boo for us) so the sound was difficult to edit. My apologies!

Bonus Podcast: The Bay Bridge Boat Show and Annapolis Spring Sailboat Show Will Look a Bit Different This Year!
When the ospreys return, it is a sure sign that spring has sprung. Another sign is the return of the Show and the . While not as large as their older siblings in the fall, these two shows are a great way to make sure you are ready to get on the water this summer! The crews are moving full steam ahead to prepare for this year's which moved slightly east to Safe Harbor Narrows Point Marina in Grasonville. More boats, more parking, more vendors and an entirely different experience awaits attendees. The gates open at 10am on Friday, April 1, 2025 and the show continues through Sunday April 13th. And then two weeks later, they do it all again in Annapolis for the from April 25th through 27th. And like the Bay Bridge Boat Show, the Annapolis show will have plenty of boats, vendors, food, and fun for everyone! The other day, we hopped over to Forward Brewing in Eastport to catch up with Mary Ewenson, one of the show's owners, to see what was new and exciting. Construction on both sides of the Bay has necessitated a pivot—one for location and the other for how they arrange the floating city! We chatted about the training opportunities, the vendors, the boats (there will be an 80-foot beauty in Annapolis, along with some foiling sailboats for those who like to zoom), and the experience, which has been going strong for over fifty years! What excites me the most is the camaraderie of the boating community and the opportunity to learn from the experts. Both shows feature some version of "drive before you buy," in case you are not sure-- at the Bay Bridge Boat Show, there is the Prop Talk Demo Dock, and at the Annapolis Spring Sailboat Show, there is the Learn to Sail Workshop. No matter how involved (or not) you are with boating, there is something for everyone! You can get your tickets to the show in advance ( - ), but for now, have a listen!
