As we watch a bunch of football from the couch and spend time with family and friends this Christmas, we’re all looking forward to the “Super Bowl Preview.” Luke Jones and Nestor preview the Ravens’ tough role as 5 1/2-point underdogs in Santa Clara against San Francisco 49ers on Monday night.
In the aftermath of another impressive road victory by the Baltimore Ravens, Nestor Aparicio answered the call from his Las Vegas pal J.T. The Brick on his Sirius XM Mad Dog Radio overnight show and gave an overview of what he sees from the AFC-leading 11-3 squad and their path to a No. 1 seed.
We always wanted to have Baltimore’s most famous worldwide export on the show but were afraid to ask. In advance of his “A John Waters Christmas: Let’s Blow It Up!” at Baltimore SoundStage on December 21st, the Pope Of Trash comes home to Nestor to dish on holiday etiquette and why he loves soft shell crabs and still being on stage with an audience.
As the ink was drying on the new Maryland Stadium Authority deal with John Angelos and the Baltimore Orioles, former MSA chairman Tom Kelso joins Nestor for a primer on a new stadium deal at Camden Yards and what it means for the fans, the citizens and the team. A compelling stop on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour for the holidays at Weis Markets at Honeygo in Perry Hall.
The Maryland Crab Cake Tour was well plotted at Far & Dotter and knew we needed to import a crab cake.

In an effort to get the stench out of his rancid hot yoga gear, Nestor found a laundry product that was produced right here in Baltimore.

With the Maryland Crab Cake Tour doing a tasty holiday stop at Weis Markets at Honeygo, it was a great chance to visit with Maryland Lottery Executive Director John Martin to discuss all of the games of the season and stocking stuffer do’s and dont’s as Santa is bringing winnings and the scent of gingerbread to the season.
As the offense continues to lose players almost weekly, it’s the Ravens’ defense that has been stout because of the emergence of All Pro caliber play from Kyle Hamilton, who is proving to be a one-of-one kind of hybrid athlete that changes what opposing offenses can do. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss slowing Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey and the San Francisco 49ers multiple attack on Christmas night.

The second part of our extensive holiday chat with former Maryland Stadium Authority chairman Tom Kelso continued with a discussion about the future of downtown stadia and growth for Baltimore and what the new lease means for the Orioles, Ravens and the downtown area.

This is important stuff for sports fans and citizens who are funding billionaires for franchises.
As our Chief Technology Officer Mike Rosenfeld of Web Connection is always looking to push a very willing Nestor in a new tech direction, here’s some AI intelligence for your stocking stuffer and the usual football conversation of hope for the holidays.
It took us a few years but we always wanted to try this vegan crab cake at Gertrude’s at The Baltimore Museum of Art with 14th District Councilwoman Odette Ramos, who has bragged about the legend of this delectable alternative made by chef John Shields.

After a weekend attending at the Rodricks’ BMA “Baltimore, You Have No Idea” and the Ravens overtime win over the Rams, Leonard Raskin joins Nestor to discuss the field of play in baseball where the Orioles are rumored to be purchased by David Rubenstein and the Orioles just spent some money on a closer.
Even though it was the special teams play by Tylan Wallace that beat the Rams, it’s very clear that Lamar Jackson is doing different and better things with the passing game in the offense of Todd Monken.
