Wanderlust and seeing the world through a different lens

Baltimore Positive

Our musician pal and local photographer Jason Siemer returns from Borneo with tales and photos that are spectacular while Nestor shares some travelogue tales from South America and previous international trips of exploration, culture and personal growth on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour at Faidley’s at Lexington Market. Just two kids from Dundalk and Pasadena who loved baseball going places others only dream about…

Living, loving and lifting Baltimore City life

Baltimore Positive

She came from New Jersey to do television news at WJZ and never left Baltimore. We catch up with our defending champion of loving city life Meghan McCorkell of Live Baltimore, who educates Nestor at Faidley’s on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour about the whys and ways that the city wants you back as a resident, tax payer and stakeholder in the next round of Charm City and the revival of urban life.

The year that they moved the Preakness to Laurel

Baltimore Positive

No one knows the world of horse racing better than our longtime pal and Baltimorean Dick Jerardi, who returns once against for the strangest Preakness of them all. Nestor will be at Laurel on Saturday when the second leg of the Triple Crown feels like it’s limping toward a very uncertain future for anyone who loves the game and remembers the glory of Maryland racing.

Holding pro sports franchises and billionaires accountable

Baltimore Positive

In an extended chat with longtime WJZ sports director Mark Viviano, we discuss the role of the modern media and why the questions for the important people are so important. Especially for two kids from Baltimore and St. Louis, who had their childhood teams taken away by the NFL monsters and goblins named Irsay, Bidwill and Kroenke.

For the problem solvers who love efficiency and comfort

Baltimore Positive

Our favorite chats on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour happen when we put old friends together and make new ones.

Preak What? The state of horse racing in our state…

Baltimore Positive

So the Churchill folks are about to take over the Preakness and we have questions. Dick Jerardi of Bet Online returns to discuss all things Kentucky Derby, Laurel and Pimlico as the strangest Triple Crown season in Maryland history is in progress. Do we care enough in Maryland?

Are we really getting our true “Preak” on in Laurel, Nes?

Baltimore Positive

It’s that time of the year again when the few of us who care about horse racing actually discuss it. Essex attorney and former delegate Todd Schuler returns to Koco’s Pub on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour to discuss Preakness ponies not at Pimlico, Triple Crown dreams sold off to the Churchill gypsies and insurance companies ponying up in court when they’re not doing what the TV ads say they will.

Horse racing season is tastier than ever at Costas inside Timonium racetrack grandstand

Baltimore Positive

We still love the OG Dundalk location of Costas Inn but coming up on the first anniversary of the “new” Timonium location we sidled up to the bar inside the racetrack grandstand and adjacent to the OTB to discuss the upcoming horse racing Triple Crown season and all of the things that Pete Triantafilos has learned in expanding his father and family’s vision for the hospitality that has made the name “Costas” legendary in Baltimore seafood circles.

Sharing thoughts on the big changes to Preakness and Pimlico with Greg Sher

Baltimore Positive

From the paddock at Churchill Downs to the mortgage industry, one-time aspiring WBAL sportscaster Greg Sher returns to sports media as Preakness week comes down the stretch with Nestor, who remains antsy about the future of horse racing and the impact this Triple Crown series can have on Pimlico and Baltimore. Oh, and Sher shared some words about John Harbaugh and the future of the Ravens and Orioles as well…

Pointing out the joys of parenting and baseball with Mark Viviano

Baltimore Positive

About once a year we manage to bring longtime WJZ sports director Mark Vivano off the bench and away from his kids’ Little League games to talk about life after television, press boxes and the locker room at deadline. He joins us at Planet Fitness in Timonium on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour to catch up on good deeds, fair play and foul balls.

Modern commerce and the groove of Yacht Rock

Baltimore Positive

Ethan Giffin of Groove Commerce joins Nestor to discuss his new book on modern ecommerce and taking a lane down the old school world of his DJ Opie music and love of Yacht Rock Revue at Pizza John’s in Essex on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour.

Outer space and the inner workings of American democracy with astronaut and Bird watcher Terry Virts

Baltimore Positive

He’s joined us in the past to talk Orioles baseball and marvel us with his incredible resume as a Maryland-raised astronaut who led missions on behalf of NASA and our country.

Positive thinking and pitching mental prep with legendary Jamie Moyer

Baltimore Positive

Longtime MLB pitcher Jamie Moyer returns to the Charm City roots where his mid-1990s success and career turned and joins Nestor to discuss positive thinking and pitching success over pressure as taught by legendary Harvey Dorfman.

The long Miles from Luskin’s to law to family and serving others

Baltimore Positive

It’s been too long since we shared a crab cake chat with Baltimore lawyer Steve Miles, whose television advertising and advocacy for regular humans four decades ago is well remembered around town. Here at Faidley’s, Nestor and the former assistant state’s attorney “talk about it” in discussing the state of the world and issues, solutions and the law in America amidst Trump’s obvious criminality and protection by Congress.

Aligning the facts about my spine – and yours, too!

Baltimore Positive

We have had all sorts of conversations over three decades with our team (and family) chiropractor Steve Elliott, who returns to a happier, healthier Nestor on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour at Koco’s Pub as the adjustments continue to aging, sitting, standing, traveling, walking and running away from old age. Now is the perfect time to get comfortable…

It’s the people who elevate the neighborhood vibe at Koco’s Pub in Lauraville

Baltimore Positive

We get the privilege of going all over town with our Maryland Crab Cake Tour but nothing takes it back to the old neighborhood like an afternoon at Koco’s Pub in Lauraville and doing the show between the kitchen and the bar with Marcella Knight, who has been celebrating 40 years of local business by making even more of her mother’s elevated and amazing crab cakes.

Telling four decades of the history of local high school sports

Baltimore Positive

No one has covered local high school sports longer or better than Gary Adornato, who joins Nestor at Koco’s Pub and updates us on the modern journalism and news gathering being done on the prep circuit in the era of NIL, and with college sports in disarray and kids focusing on one sport far earlier. We’ve come a long way since the “All Metro” pages of The Baltimore Sun back in the 1980s…

Nestor was touched by the visit from the Executive Director of the Brigance Brigade, Drew Vanlandingham, who brings Nestor a Juice update and educates us on the big Canton walk and run on May 3rd.

Unveiling our deep thoughts on ‘Next Flight’ jerseys and new Baltimore Ravens brand markings

Baltimore Positive

Sports fashion is always subjective and Luke Jones and Nestor usually have strong opinions on weak ownership and league cash grabs whenever teams role out a “new look” with alternate jerseys, helmets and colors. This time, however, both agreed they were mostly pleasantly underwhelmed about the over-hyped “Next Flight” branding of the new Baltimore Ravens’ markings. Subtle, and fine…

The markets of Baltimore are better than ever

Baltimore Positive

With us watching the “new” Lexington Market come to life in recent years and always centered up at Faidley’s Seafood for the Maryland Crab Cake Tour, we loved our visit with Shaina Hernandez, who gives Nestor a primer and overview on all of the Baltimore Markets and their tasty offerings for locals to patronize and enjoy.
