Remember That Time

A tribute to Heisty and media friendships

Baltimore Positive

We lost the best of us this week. Veteran local media voice Craig Heist left us and left quite an impression on Luke Jones and Nestor at Camden Yards over the years. We pay tribute to his hustle, hard work, Essex humor and unrivaled dedication to local sports – and then honor him by tackling the many bye week issues of the 1-5 Baltimore Ravens.

Pastorini: For the glory of Luv Ya Blue and those Houston Oilers

Baltimore Positive

As the swashbuckling quarterback of the Bum Phillips-era Houston Oilers, Dan Pastorini was Nestor’s favorite football player in his late 1970s childhood. Now, like many former Baltimore Colts here and abandoned by his franchise in Texas, Pastorini catches up on the Oilers uniform revival in Nashville, the pain of the Texans in Houston and how to Be An Angel.

Getting a Houston football primer from The General

Baltimore Positive

There’s no better excuse to have Houston sportswriter legend John McClain back on the show than when the Texans are coming to Baltimore. This time, he educates Nestor on the path of head coach DeMeco Ryans, progress of quarterback C.J. Stroud and provides a little history lesson about the Baltimore Colts roots deep in the heart of Texas.

Hollywood nights and a Monday Night Motown football motor

Nestor Aparicio

If you follow our social media, you probably know that Nestor went west to see the fabulous Hollywood Bowl and check it off the top of the bucket list that financial advisor Leonard Raskin always encourages him to seek, stalk and enjoy. They discuss the nightmare Ravens loss to the Lions, too, but The Who and and Aerosmith reunion in Los Angeles were more fun to discuss this week.

Getting the Eagles ready to fly again at Coppin State

Baltimore Positive

It’s a new season and a new school year at Coppin State University where head coach Larry Stewart is getting a whole new cast of student athletes assembled to play in the MEAC. He joined Nestor at The Beaumount in Catonsville on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour to talk NIL and modern college basketball recruiting realities that are different than when Fang Mitchell brought him to West Baltimore 39 years ago.

A day with all the feels for Ravens legends and hopeful future kings

Baltimore Positive

As the ceremonies began and old Colts and the founding members of the Baltimore Ravens brought the Lombardi Trophies onto the field as Joe Flacco prepared the Cleveland Browns for battle, all of the purple emotions of 30 seasons took over – and then the game played to three decades of AFC North form. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss another Browns beatdown on Sunday in Baltimore.

Banding together with friends and family at Trifecta Food Truck & Music Festival in Timonium on September 20th

Baltimore Positive

It’s fun, affordable and has become a Baltimore fall tradition for anyone who loves great music. Longtime 24X7 concert promoter Paul Manna gives Nestor the Trifecta Festival lineup for this year at the new Costas Inn in Timonium, right above the infield where the bands and food trucks and music lovers will gather by the thousands to rock to the best tribute bands in the region.

Letting Lydell tell the tales of the 1975 Baltimore Colts

Baltimore Positive

With the 50th Anniversary of the Baltimore Colts amazing 1975 season being celebrated on Saturday at Union Brewing, it was a thrill to welcome former running back Lydell Mitchell back up the middle to tell Nestor everything he ever wanted to know about Bert Jones and the first team that he loved as a kid on 33rd Street at Memorial Stadium.

Former punter Dave Zastudil splits defense of Browns and Ravens as Flacco returns to Baltimore

Baltimore Positive

He has the rare distinction of being a guy born and raised in Cleveland who was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens and returned home to Northern Ohio for a life on and off the field with his hometown Browns. For better or worse, our old pal and punter-turned-insurance executive Dave Zastudil always teaches us more about football. Can Joe Flacco come back to Baltimore and beat the Ravens on Sunday?

And now the Cal 2131 30th Anniversary no-no Yamamoto miracle becomes a true Camden Yards classic walk-off memory

Baltimore Positive

A bunch of Orioles fans showed up at Camden Yards to honor the 30th Anniversary of the miraculous Cal Ripken Iron Man streak and witnessed several more baseball miracles and memories on Saturday night against Yamamoto and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Is it a Top 5 all-time night at The Yard? Luke Jones and Nestor give it the full Baltimore baseball history treatment.

Joe Flacco: Coming back to Baltimore to set the record straight on Cleveland

Baltimore Positive

We’ve been writing about and talking to Joe Flacco about football since the day he was drafted in Baltimore in 2008. After an amazing December run in Cleveland in 2023, our Super Bowl XLVII MVP came back home to discuss what made his fairy tale ride with the Browns so special and to set the record straight on his Ravens’ fire and legacy as a winner.

When something Magic happens on 30th Anniversary of Cal 2131 and day of Davey Johnson’s death

Baltimore Positive

It was quite a Saturday in Birdland. The day began with news of the death of Orioles player and manager Davey Johnson and ended with a near no-hitter and an old-school “Magic” win over the Dodgers in the aftermath of a massive 30th Anniversary celebration of Cal Ripken and 2131. Our Allen McCallum was at Camden Yards on Saturday night and was the WNST clubhouse reporter in 1996 and 1997 when Davey led rare winning teams during the Angelos era. This is a deep dive on Orioles lore and history.

Kicking up the truth about Justin Tucker at The Baltimore Banner

Baltimore Positive

As local journalism continues to evaporate, The Baltimore Banner proved earlier this year that a big story still needs real professional journalists, facts, witnesses and lots of lawyers as the Justin Tucker scandal was unearthed by its team. Sports editor Chris Korman joins Bill Cole and Nestor to discuss what really happened after Justin Fenton and Julie Scharper received a tip about the kicker of the Baltimore Ravens being a serial predator nuisance to women in the massage industry all over the region.

No. 12 on #TastyNes Tour & WNST Baltimore 27th Anniversary: Chap’s Pit Beef

Nestor Aparicio

It was all ours in East Baltimore for decades before Guy Fieri and the food culture of America discovered this little pit beef shack secret in Armistead Gardens. The operation has moved a few hundred feet in recent years and looks – and tastes – better than ever. You knew this was high on this list. It was only a matter of where…and how, so let us show you.

David Rubenstein Orioles owner

Dear David Rubenstein: I really believed things were going to be different with “The Next Chapter” of Orioles history – but I was wrong so far

Nestor Aparicio

I’m still “under review” and denied media credentials. You’re still under review by every fan of the Baltimore Orioles and every citizen who chipped in $600 million toward your $1.725 billion asset. Be a better person and a better baseball owner than Peter Angelos. Be the noise for truth, accountability and decency. Make “The Next Chapter” a truly inclusive one, David.

When the owners of Birdland ask Orioles fans for the next round of funding after a season like this…

Baltimore Positive

When you invite three busy friends and guests onto the Maryland Crab Cake Tour at Costas Inn in Timonium and they all converge simultaneously, you host a candid, spontaneous chat about the realities of a Birdland Insider membership and being a modern Baltimore Orioles customer, fan and an ATM for ownership no matter what happens – on or off the field. A sports editor, a roofer and a duct sucker all walk into a bar with a guy from Dundalk…

Dear Steve Bisciotti: Ask Chad Steele what he thinks I said about Sage so I can tell Ravens fans why I was really exterminated

Nestor Aparicio

“What did do you do wrong, Nestor?” “Why would the Ravens throw you out?” “Why are you the only one in the local media whom they’ve thrown out?” “Why have they treated you this way?” “WHAT DID YOU DO WRONG!?!” I am fed up with these questions from Baltimore sports fans so I wrote to the owner because these questions are his to answer. Letters to John Harbaugh and Eric DeCosta are also coming soon.

On all that ails the Baltimore Orioles…

Baltimore Positive

Longtime sports columnist and decorated author John Eisenberg returns to the Maryland Crab Cake Tour at Costas Inn in Timonium to discuss his Bird Tapes of Orioles tales and lore and to discuss the future of Birdland for everyone in Baltimore who loves baseball. Has it really been 30 years since the Cal Ripken 2131 game? Are they in last place again? Where are the fans? Does David Rubenstein know what he is doing? Is Mike Elias the right guy?

In search of the next Nick Markakis…

Baltimore Positive

With the promotion of key prospects Samuel Basallo and Dylan Beavers and the young group of high-ceiling position talent now completely in The Show, the last place Baltimore Orioles’ showing on the field these next six weeks should prove to be more than just a bunch of meaningless baseball games. Luke Jones and Nestor use a Birdland history lesson to discuss what a success would even look like for Mike Elias and this era of stars who haven’t really shined…

Four decades of Chipping away the power of rock music with Enuff Z’Nuff

Baltimore Positive

When Chip Z’Nuff showed up on local timelines crushing the music of Guns N’ Roses with tribute band Pretty Tied Up last month in Fallston, we knew it was time to relive the magical mystery tour of peace and love and Hammerjacks memories. The new thing is always the best of the old things and Chip returns as the living embodiment of the power of “sex, drugs and rock and roll” – in moderation and not necessarily in that order – to discuss modern touring, his time with Steven Adler and new Enuff Z’Nuff music with Nestor.

Grappling with death of Hulk Hogan and memories of Superstar Billy Graham

Baltimore Positive

With the highs and lows of the former Terry Bollea in the news after the death of Hulk Hogan, Luke Jones and Nestor grapple with his act, “borrowed” if-not-stolen from Superstar Billy Graham as documented in the recent “Dark Side Of The Ring” tale on Vice regarding the business of wrestling and Vince McMahon and steroids in the 1970s and 80s.

A life in MLB ballparks brought to life

Baltimore Positive

When you spent 16 summers in every ballpark chronicling the Pirates and Twins as a local ballpark reporter, you see the innards of every stadium and clubhouse in baseball. Our longtime South Philly pal, who has traveled the regional sports network pathway en route to Pittsburgh, comes back to Baltimore to talk about his first gigs as an in-stadium hype man for the Bowie Baysox and Baltimore Blast. MLB reporter Robby Incmikoski tells Nestor about his newest project and book of photographs and stories about what makes big league baseball diamonds so special to the men who play the game.

The connection – and distinct disconnect – of modern Philadelphia and Baltimore professional sports

Baltimore Positive

They met over 40 years ago in the professional sports space. Now a Philadelphia lawyer, Baltimorean Micah Buchdahl was once a Washington Capitals PR assistant who later ran a MISL soccer franchise and maintains his long friendship with Nestor via the Eagles, Phillies and 76ers family passion on his timeline. It’s always a pleasure to welcome Buchdahl home for a discussion about winning, losing and spending the money it takes to host parades and keep fans (and their wallets) engaged.

Everything you ever wanted to know about the “Nastee” theme song from the man who wrote it

Baltimore Positive

If you ever listened to Nestor Aparicio on the radio anytime from 1994 through 2014, you heard the opening theme song many times. “Do you want to get Nastee?” was a line written and rapped by Kwame’, who is involved in the National Hip-Hop Hall of Fame induction ceremony on August 23rd. Last month, he appeared in a community event here at Gwynn Oak Park and the stars aligned to allow him to finally face the music of being a very fun and important ingredient in the sound of the history of Baltimore sports radio.

Wrestling with the legacy of Hulk Hogan

Baltimore Positive

Luke Jones and Nestor wrestle with the gloriously tainted legacy of Hulk Hogan and the Hulkamania era recounting lost memories of youth and life and love of the squared circle of Vince McMahon and the WWF.

Going beyond the coffee on the menu at Zeke’s

Baltimore Positive

As Baltimore Positive gets ready to celebrate its 27th Anniversary and the Maryland Crab Cake Tour will feature our 27 favorite things to eat in Baltimore, we set the stage at Zeke’s Coffee with a caffeinated discussion about menus, pastries, sandwiches and meals of happiness with Dan Rodricks, who shares his culinary peppers and eggs philosophy to Thomas Rhodes and Joe Robinson on Harford Road.

There was no beef about this Guy’s pit stop in Baltimore

Baltimore Positive

With our upcoming 27th Anniversary featuring our favorite places to eat set to roll out in August, we’ll be unearthing some WNST Classic chats with foodies and folks who love Maryland cuisine. At Super Bowl XLIV in Miami, Nestor bumped into legendary television “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives” host Guy Fieri, who offers up a recipe for a Baltimore tailgate that starts in East Baltimore. Let’s make a pit stop, shall we?

The Child’s Play of a youth spent making music savored for a lifetime

Baltimore Positive

Our eternal rocker and Stone Horses pal John Allen returns to the Maryland Crab Cake Tour at 1623 Brewing in Eldersburg for a beer and some summer cheer, joining Nestor in a spirit chat about the heavy metal legacy of Ozzy Osbourne, forty years of Live Aid and still being preoccupied with 1985. (He co-wrote that song with Baltimore’s Mitch Allen, if you didn’t know that local music nugget!)

Drawing over the line at The Baltimore Sun

Baltimore Positive

Deposed political cartoonist Kevin Kallaugher (aka KAL and KALtoons) joins longtime former colleague at The Baltimore Sun, Dan Rodricks, and sports cartoonist Ricig with Nestor at Zeke’s Coffee on the Maryland Crab Cake Tour to discuss Baltimore media power, influence and the search for truth in reporting for the people over a lifetime.

The Friday morning town hall of local talk at Zeke’s Coffee in Lauraville

Baltimore Positive

Inspired by Zeke’s Coffee roaster and taste maker Thomas Rhodes, every Friday morning a group of Lauraville locals drop by for a cup and a round table of neighborhood chatter and conviviality. The Maryland Crab Cake Tour plopped down for a morning edition with local pundit Dan Rodricks, cartoonist Ricig and coffee and democracy chatter over breakfast.

Rocking the tap from Essex to Eldersburg

Baltimore Positive

The tangled web of Smalltimore we weave is woven into this Maryland Crab Cake Tour stop with Mike McKelvin of 1623 Brewing sharing his Essex hard rock Child’s Play roots with Stone Horses singer John Allen and Nestor over a beer in Eldersburg.

Drawing the lines of power in America

Nestor Aparicio

You probably don’t know what they look like but you know their work. Lifelong cartoonists Kevin Kallaugher and Ricig tell some Nasty tales about the power of an image of power, and drawing inspiration to make readers think peeling back the layers of art, language, meaning and persuasion. One of the best political conversations we’ve ever had on The Maryland Crab Cake Tour. Listen and learn about media in modern America. (And you’ll meet the person responsible for “Nasty” Nestor, too!)
