Nestor Aparicio 00:00
Welcome home. We are W, N, S, T am 15 70,000 Baltimore, Baltimore, positive. We are positively at Green Mountain station. We’re up here in beautiful Gods country. We’re in Carroll County. We’re enhanced that I love coming up here. I put a whole bunch of pictures up of all the Dennis Pitta and Steve Smith and Marshall yonders And oh and Dang. I’m trying to think, Oh, that’s so many people here. Pat Ricard, Sam Cook and all these pictures, all are brought to you by friends at the Maryland lottery, and our Raven scratch offs Tim Watts is gonna get number 11 because I didn’t scratch it. I didn’t give it to Karen, just like Luis Aparicio. Ravens. Ever have a favorite famous number 11? I’m trying to think, anybody ever wear 11 for the Ravens was Troy Smith. Troy Smith might have been 11. Wait, might have been 10.
Tim Watts 00:42
Was he 10? I don’t remember my knowledge 1999 is pretty suspect. Why have
Nestor Aparicio 00:49
we not had an 11? I don’t know. Somebody’s gonna write
Tim Watts 00:52
me that was a quarterback number for a long, long, long, long time.
Nestor Aparicio 00:57
I’m all screwed up with these number fours running around is why they’re linebackers. Exactly?
Tim Watts 01:03
Yeah, it’s, I haven’t. I haven’t caught up to that. That’s, yes, that’s difficult.
Nestor Aparicio 01:09
Tim Watts is here. Tim is a, I’ll let you tell them about you. But Tim was my, I don’t know what the hell you were like, employee, intern, friend, producer, dude, hanging around, reporter, you mean you’ve been around so long. You dealt with Chad Steele when he worked first got to the ravens, 25 years ago, all of those things. You were literally all of that, right,
Tim Watts 01:32
yeah, 1997 through, about 99 so this is, like, pre first Super Bowl. Was the time I spent with you guys. So that was like the the initial NST launch.
Nestor Aparicio 01:44
When did you start? You were there in 98 summer. 98 was our launch, right?
Tim Watts 01:47
I started in 97 the summer 97 at training camp. So you were still at Wlg at the time. You were
Nestor Aparicio 01:53
my reporter at ravens camp in 97 Yes, wow. Okay, because it’s not like you’re teaching me things, because I go through this with Alan all the time. I had Howard Sherrod a couple weeks ago, of your hockey fan at all. He joined me in Owings Mills, because he lives in Owings Mills and you live in amps. That says, part of the way I do this, Karen lives up here too. That’s why I had her up. He came over to mama’s on the half shell, and we were talking about this. And every time I’m with him, we met at skip Jack teams in the 80s. I completely forgot he was my Oriole reporter. You know, he in the mid 90s, before Alan, there was Tom cap, then there was Howard, then it was Alan, then there was, like, Casey at the baseball ballpark or football there was you my son, Glenn Clark, for a minute, you know, like, reporters went out and did the job that Luke does every day on our behalf. But you were, like, the first, like, literally, yeah, for the as far as the Ravens were, I didn’t have a reporter in 96 I mean, I was kind of the report, yeah.
Tim Watts 02:53
So, you know, at the time I was in college, still, I was getting ready to transfer to the University of Maryland, and I was looking for an internship. How
Nestor Aparicio 03:01
did Hennessy find you? Would you do? I
Tim Watts 03:02
emailed whatever your email address was at the time, and nasty at PC, bank.net, that’s what it was. And so there you go. He invited me out to meet with you at the station, sat in for a segment, I believe, and you’re like, Yeah, we need somebody to do ravens training camp. Would be willing to do that. So that’s, that’s how I, I got in. So I did that for three summers, and then did other things. You covered
Nestor Aparicio 03:27
9798 99 right? So
Tim Watts 03:29
two years Mark Broda, and the first year Brian Billick was there,
Nestor Aparicio 03:33
so before Shannon Sharpe got here, so it was like, Sarah goose. Burnett, yeah. Rod Woodson, yep.
Tim Watts 03:39
Vinny Testaverde, quarterback, were
Nestor Aparicio 03:42
you with Rod Woodson the day that he said, I’m gonna do the show on my own cell phone. He called it because his phone was working better than ours.
Tim Watts 03:49
A couple people had done that. Ray Lewis did that one time I got Ray Lewis. Rod Woodson
Nestor Aparicio 03:53
was the one who had a Bell Atlantic phone, and I was doing cellular one, and it didn’t work out on the added Westminster. This
Tim Watts 04:02
is how long ago was, right? Like, Western America, the first two, the first two years, I didn’t have a cell phone to do any of this, so they used to have a trailer set off to the side. Oh, when you would drag them over, they would drag the first after practice over, I would drag. Can you imagine
Nestor Aparicio 04:15
Chad Steele helping you do this? Yeah, 2025, they
Tim Watts 04:17
had interns. And by like, the second week, I’m like, I’m just doing this myself. Kevin Byrne
Nestor Aparicio 04:21
cared about the community, because, like, community because, you know, he was trying to, like, actually make
Tim Watts 04:24
it good that too. And then I would go back to the hotel, and as guys would come back, I would get another guy or two, we’d go to a pay phone in the lobby at the Best Western I had a calling card, right? It was long, like, the call from Westminster to Towson was long distance, that’s right. So I had a calling card. I had to put the pin number in. All this kind of stuff. I’m glad I brought you on the show. You’re telling me stuff I didn’t know. Yeah, super old school. And then the third year I was there, you finally gave me a cell phone. It was like, and it didn’t work, and it didn’t work. I couldn’t I couldn’t use it at Western Maryland College, now known as McDaniel, couldn’t use it there. Use it sometimes. At the hotel, it depended if the sun was out, and then half the time I’d call in a final report. By the time I got home in Catonsville, where I had reception, I would call in and do a final call there. So I have all the
Nestor Aparicio 05:11
tapes. Yeah. I mean, if I go through the tapes, let’s go out to Tim watts. He’s in Westminster. Hey, Timmy, what you got well, Syracuse is, you know, didn’t practice today. He told me his knees swollen because he drank too much last night. I
Tim Watts 05:24
read, like, the big first story that I was because I wasn’t, like a trained journalist, right? I’m just kind of faking it out there. The first big thing, well, hey, I wasn’t. I was college kid at the time. The first big thing that came up was when BAM Morris got suspended. That was the first big story that came smoking weed, right? Yeah, yeah. And I remember, like, Kevin Byrne notified everybody, just sort of not officially, but let everybody know that this has happened. So I called and told you, and you asked me all kinds of questions that I didn’t have answers to. Thankfully, it wasn’t on air and, like, it was, like a learning experience. Like, okay, you gotta, you gotta ask this teach
Nestor Aparicio 05:59
you how to be a reporter, yeah. And this was prior, like we weren’t on air. God for John Stevin, this was in the afternoon. So, Molly. Molly. Donald, yeah,
Tim Watts 06:06
you know that whole had to learn quick. You know, getting thrown out there cover an NFL team at that level. I
Nestor Aparicio 06:13
love having this much history, yeah? Because, like, if people were driving around listen to you, or if they’re downloading podcasts or whatever, I have all this history with all these humans like you, and everybody thinks everybody that ever worked for me hates me. It’s just a handful of them, and I paid them all. And, you know, but, but God bless. I love you. Ray Bachman Andy Mueller, you know these people who’ve been in my Allen McCallum, who’ve been in my life forever? Yep, and there are people that I don’t associate with anymore. I, you know, you can name them or find them, or, you know, they’ll say nasty things about me or whatever. Today was an interesting day, because we’re Green Mountain station. We’re Hampstead. It’s all brought to you by the lottery and our friends at Jiffy Lube MultiCare, Luke, we’re taping this on a Thursday. The Ravens play on Monday this week, it’s Thanksgiving week. I’m putting together good like, sort of archival content. And Friday is International Music Day, the 22nd of November. And I decided to do all this music content this week and next week, because of the holiday play the Eagles next week. It’s weird because of Thanksgiving, and I want to give Luke a little bit of downtime to be normal as well, because of the Monday night game out in LA and I had all this music content, and I’m like, I’m gonna put it together. I have all this archival music stuff that I haven’t ever put on the air or ever fixed. You know, was on a tape. It’s an mp three. It’s not cleaned up. It might have F bombs in it. I don’t know what it is, but to get it on the air, I have to edit it. Listen to it in the modern world. Now I have otter so I can throw the mp three up and get the whole transcription of conversations. So when I did the music thing with Jen back in 14 and 15, when she was sick, I transcribed all my evening sun interviews with David Bowie and Bon Jovi and Billy Joel, they were all done on a radio shack tape recorder. So they sound impeccable, right? You know, they they really good sound. But when I did it in 14 or 15, first off, my wife was dying, and it was a mess, but I was just trying to put some stuff together for Best of content. If she got better, we want a vacation. Want to do things, have air to run in my new format after everybody left the company in 14, said, all this music. And I did the Hall of Famers, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers in 2014 and there were many of them, you know, I mean, some of them are passed away since 2014 all these new people have gone into the Hall of Fame. And I have interviews with tons of them. Oh, wow. So I have found interviews with Joan Jett, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, black crows, bands that have gone into the Pat Benatar, bands that have gone into the rock and all the thing that weren’t 12 years ago, right? So I found like another 15 or 18, like more interviews. So I’m going through that. And then there’s like famous people like Pat dinizio from the Smith reach have died, who I have these interviews with that I’ve never unearthed. So I’m doing all of that next week. And I had this one crab cake tour here at Green Mountain station, because I want to come up here. I want to talk about horse racing with David, and I want to talk about crab cakes with Chris. And I reached to you knowing you were up here, Karen. I was hoping you could come out. Yeah, I want you to explain the whole North Carroll, because you were in the Manchester Valley Mavericks. Yep, this wasn’t a high school when I covered high schools
Tim Watts 09:29
in the 80s. No. So Manchester Valley opened in 2009 so Okay, your kids go there, yeah. So my, I have three daughters. My oldest graduated there in 2023 she’s a sophomore at Millersville University up in Lancaster. I have a my middle daughter is a junior, and my youngest is a freshman at Manchester Valley. Would they have gone to North Carol? They would have gone to North Carol because we live right around the corner here from
Nestor Aparicio 09:52
from it closed, though, right North Carol. So I can’t remember
Tim Watts 09:56
the year was probably 678, years ago. I can’t, I don’t know. Exact time, major controversy, right? So they built Manchester valley. It opened in 2009 I think the projections for the population out here were x, right? And so they said, oh, we need another high school in Carroll County. So they built Manchester Valley. I don’t think those population projections came till came to light. Okay, the school over here in North Carroll needed a new roof, probably some HVAC upgrades, all kinds of work needed to be done. $12.2 million a lot of money, a lot of money to kind of get it up, up to speed. So they made the decision to close North Carroll High School and move all those kids to Manchester Valley. Some of those kids, I think, went over to winners mill or Westminster. But by and large, most of those kids go winners mill, winners Mills over in West that’s another I never heard of that seven, seven public high school. They
Nestor Aparicio 10:49
are the mighty Falcons. Falcons. That’s winter. So back in the day when we covered Carroll County, there was Francis Scott Key, liberty, Westminster, North Carol, South Carol, Westminster. And that probably,
Tim Watts 11:01
yeah, century was built. Winners. Never heard of it. Yeah, century the winners mill. And only
Nestor Aparicio 11:06
reason I know Manchester Valley is because I’ve told this story up here. You know about this is a North Carol room here. So I call you to come out and hey, I love you. A mission. Is it been two or three years since you did this? I
Tim Watts 11:19
came out here. Was 2021, so three years ago,
Nestor Aparicio 11:21
wow, man, three years I feel like I saw you a minute ago. I know it’s weird. So we were close back at the turn of the century, and I remember a picture of you and me a Lambeau Field, yep. And so I put your name into Facebook. This is what you do with people, right? And I put Tim watts in, and I said, All right, I want pictures Tim Watts and I want pictures that I put up of Tim Watts and I, and three pictures showed up. And I’m like, why? No, we got a lot more pictures, right? So, so I’m thinking, like, how many pictures can I come up with? So this is the, this is the picture of T Watts and I at, this is us at Green Bay back in 98 Yeah, 98 right, November, 90 my hair was, you could see my hair was really blonde back then, if you, if you check that out. So here, let me put that. There you go. I had hair some Well, I zoomed in on it. Hold on. There we go. So, Lambeau Field, T Watson Nestor hanging out all right? So that’s the one picture. And then there were two other pictures. And I’m like, I don’t even know if how you’re in that, in that? Well, hold on, a second here, here’s the only so this was a giant photo collage that sat on the wall of the radio. Oh, geez, I just did it. Did it wrong? This sat on the wall forever. So there’s ace caddy, and there’s a Wally Williams from back at the barn, and then there’s Jim Harbaugh. And you know different Peter, Peter bolware, you are in this. You and I are together. It looks like, it looks like giant stadium, but it’s San Diego. Yeah, there we are. It’s a jack Murphy stadium. So there’s, there’s T Watts and I together, and that was 98 or 9998
Tim Watts 13:08
Well, we went twice, yeah. So you went twice, yeah, both those back to back years, right? No wonder you’re
Nestor Aparicio 13:14
wearing different hats in both pictures. So I found the bun. I’ve unearthed a bunch of these pictures. So that was a collage in San Diego. And then the other picture is a San Diego tailgate legendary. It’s one of the stories of glory we had. This was the San Diego tailgate of 1998 Yogi’s in there. Steve Hennessy is in there. Craig Bella faudo, Joe Enoch in this picture. George hutchin rider, whole bunch of people in this picture. Keith milkers in this picture. So I saw that, and I’m like, I know I got more pictures of T watts. So this is it. 5am this morning. I got me some royal farms coffee together, and I have digitized most of my pictures, right? And but I didn’t, I’m not smart enough to have tagged them all right? And they’re not in folders where, like all the San Diego pictures are there and the jersey pictures are here. So I went through maybe 1000 1200 pictures today, and in boxes, and I do it quick, right? I can just finger through it. And I have found here, 123456, about a dozen pictures here that have an association to you. Okay? And do you have any idea what’s in my hand? So before we start, I want because you watch a documentary too, and I know you want to talk about that. So you were with me three years. 90 789, 2000 we probably remain friendly. Oh sure. Your kids came along a little late. You got married after that, I
Tim Watts 14:41
got married in oh three. My young oldest was born in oh five. But like, we spent, like, New Year’s Eve, 99 two into 2000 like the into the new millennium. We were together that night.
Nestor Aparicio 14:51
You were with me down at the power plant that night. Yeah,
Tim Watts 14:53
we went to dinner, to meet cheese, and then we went to, we have a nice day. We spent y
Nestor Aparicio 14:57
2k together. Yeah, absolutely. All right, so I remember that, no, I was at the power plant that moment that happened. Yeah, I was whoever, the original Sports Bar, whatever with
Tim Watts 15:09
that, whatever it was the Have A Nice Day Cafe. Have a nice day cafe. Yep, we were there. Okay, so what
Nestor Aparicio 15:13
other member? I don’t have any pictures of that. I have a lot of pictures of us, though, but you think events that we had of that era. And look, I did the documentary seven, eight months ago with Greg, and I went through some of that archival in my mind, who was a nice guy award winner this year? Where was the road trip that year? When was that Green Bay trip? My hair was blonde. Newsletters are all the nasty newsletter. I have archives of all that, and only had these three pictures in the modern era you and me, and two of them were group pictures on the only picture that the world has ever seen of you and I, is that Green Bay picture, right? It’s the one I share. So today I went through and I’m like, All right, how important was Tim watts, wrong? Well, I found the original ravens picture. So this is, this is the 1998 trip to San Diego. Do you want to talk about this trip a little bit because it was one of the first, it was the first big road trip I did. Yeah, so I did a trip in 96 to Indianapolis. You know, we flew J, L, M, B. Was my travel agent. He booked some seats. It was what it was, 97 I think we might have done a bus trip up the giant Stadium in 97 right? Hennessy was with me at that point. We’re kind of feeling ourselves a little bit by 98 we realize this road trip thing’s the greatest, yeah, and we’re playing in San Diego, yeah, right. So I got 150 seats on a flight Continental Airlines. I dated the flight attendant I met on that flight, Cleveland. Still a friend. Hi, Jen, so we’re not San Diego. What do you want to say about this picture? Because this was not the plan at all, like this was a completely organically done tailgate. It’s not the tail go that the clown over Dundalk does. It’s not with the be more around 10. This was the original, original getting I had a meeting in the Doubletree lobby. Do you remember this? I
Tim Watts 17:05
remember we didn’t really have a plan for the game. We didn’t plan. Everybody had their own transportation there, like, everybody had a rental car. Rental cars. Everybody’s free to do whatever they wanted. And then I forget, I mean, everybody’s like, okay, what are we gonna do for the tailgate? Was like, Okay, maybe we should plan so let’s have a meeting. It was having meeting. We, I forget what kind of vehicle we had. It was a big one, obviously, because we added I
Nestor Aparicio 17:29
had, like, we got we drove up to California, up to LA and went to a hockey game. Were you with me? Yeah, yeah. We drove up to you probably took the picture of me and trots identity to oil underneath of this. Yeah. I just shared that last week. Yeah, I definitely took
Tim Watts 17:42
that picture, yeah, because it was you and I. Greg sepaniak, Yogi
Nestor Aparicio 17:46
cam camiro is also underneath. I have a picture her, yeah, she just played the Olympics, yeah.
Tim Watts 17:51
So, yeah, we went up to LA that. I guess the was it? The
Nestor Aparicio 17:56
third fabulous forum. That’s a real form, all right, so you remember all this? So we threw this tailgate out there. Yogi Kumar was our sponsor. Yogi’s all American up in in Aberdeen. Yogi’s into picture here, if you look, you can see yogi, Yogi still stays in touch. He lives up in Jersey, nice. And yogi was a chef and a cook. And he was a leader, you know, he owned restaurants, ran restaurants. We had a meeting in the double tree in the lobby. I said, anybody wants to participate to tailgate cup, I literally gave everybody assignments. And my aunt live, my aunt, Jane, you probably with me. Went to Costco, yeah? She had a Costco card. And we went to Costco and we bought grills, yep. Everybody pitched in. Everybody pitched like 50 bucks in, yeah. And I had like two grand. I had, like, a budget, yeah, and we went out and Yogi bought the food. We bought the the the grills and charcoal and lighter. We did all of that. We had, like, four little grills. We bought and we just
Tim Watts 18:58
partied 30 cases of beer, some, some ridiculous amount of beer, like one
Nestor Aparicio 19:02
Enoch was in charge of, like, the beer. Someone’s in charge of the ice. Someone was in charge of coolers. Yeah, like, and we put this San Diego tailgate together. That was one of the by the way. I wondered if there was a picture of you and me that was good of that day, and I found it. Here’s the picture of you and me right here. I think Joe E Knox in that picture. Joe E Knox got his arms on your shoulder. Rob, the base is pointing in my loins. That looks like John Keller, but I that is definitely John Keller, and that is Mark skowski. So these are some done dog goons and my buddies in San Diego, California, 1998 so I found that picture for you. I’m gonna, when we’re done here, I’m gonna scan these for you. Nice. This is a picture you and Tom Matson at the Dundalk bowl bowling ball. We did our duck pin bowling challenge. So there you had this, you had this floppy hat. You were like
Tim Watts 19:51
a that was, that was my fashion statement at the time. I guess I don’t know. Here is the group photo
Nestor Aparicio 19:56
from the third annual nasty 15. 70 duck pin challenge. So in this picture there Swami. Danny Wiseman, you’re standing right next to the great rake. Bray Bachman, I see Steve Hennessy in there. Young Mike brooch is now in his 40s. He is in that picture. Mark Messina is in that picture. I see Dave Johnson, the Orio pitchers head leaning out there. Spear Marika, Swami and Tom Matson Coors Light was our sponsor. That’s 1998 February, 1990 that’s that’s an all star squad, right there. You like that? Here is a picture of me at the 1999 so this is the 99 the third annual. You can see in the picture, I’m wearing a very unique Orioles jersey. You want to tell people what that Orioles Jersey says on it. That’s number 8888 is that Albert bell that was an Albert Bell jersey. I made a lot of mistakes in my life, and I want to let folks know that I am willing to share my mistakes with everyone. This was Sheryl Crow wrote the song about which she wrote that about sleeping with Eric Clapton. My favorite mistake? Ah, my favorite mistake was written about Eric Clapton. This is my favorite mistake right here, other than knowing Chad Steele, this is my second favorite mistake, having a I wore an Albert Bell Jersey, and there you are in the 10 gallon hand. Wow. Now here is an issue picture here, because you’re in this picture. I don’t know any I see Mark zakowski is in this. This is a San Diego tailgate. Everybody drinking beer. So you’re just happen to be you were, you had a black raven hat with the Raven logo, and it was like the Batman, the old, the old Batman logo, right? Yep. So there. And here’s a picture of you and two really pretty Southern California Girls. And I know that was hitting on because it was 1998 and I was 29 these are two girls we picked up in the parking lot. George hutchin rider was much better looking to me. Was trying to hit on these girls, and they’re, that’s your head over the top there. You see that you there? That’s Tim watts, right there, 1998 now, these are a little more unique. Um, you want to tell people about the nice guy awards that we did?
Tim Watts 21:54
Oh, wow, yeah. I mean, that’s, that was a fun time, right? Like Michael’s Eighth Avenue, yep, Michaels Eighth Avenue. I can’t remember who the honorees were that year.
Nestor Aparicio 22:06
Well, it could have been seven years, yeah. Row, yeah, but I found a picture, and it’s such a beautiful picture of you. Steve Hennessy and Ray Bachman, do you remember what Bobby Nick made all of our employees do every year
Tim Watts 22:21
we have to do the YMCA. To do the YMCA. Do
Nestor Aparicio 22:24
you think I caught you in the Y, the M, the C, or the A,
Tim Watts 22:27
I was probably this. You’re
Nestor Aparicio 22:29
the Y. I was the Y,
Tim Watts 22:30
all right. This
Nestor Aparicio 22:31
is the Y, right here. And there is a very inebriated for you, for your children. Tim, young children, there you are on the left, or the right there, should say Steve Hennessy, and there, look at Ray Bachmann playing the part of the sailor. Is there anything better than Ray Bachman as the sailor? Ray is battling cancer right now. We love ray, ray, you know, I love you. And look at how happy Ray Bachman is. Look at how happy Ray Bachman is being the sailor. And then there’s Tim Watson there. Steve Hennessy ran our companies purely responsible for me, quite frankly. So and then I have something here that I found a little disturbing that I found today. So these pictures are all the same, so you can see the pictures of the same size. These were smaller, which means they came from somebody else, okay, right? They were given to me. A listener took these pictures and gave them to me. And this is the first picture I found this morning, at five. And don’t ask me why. And it’s, it’s a little macabre, but I want, I want you to see it. This is the first picture I found. Can you tell everybody who that is and what that is?
Tim Watts 23:34
I can’t see. Let me see the picture. My eyes are gone. This
Nestor Aparicio 23:38
is Owen Hart. Owen Hart, yes, this is the wrestler, Owen Hart. Wow, holding a nasty 1360 so this is before May of 98 so this was, believe, March of 98 was when Raw is War came Ray. This is one of Ray’s all time favorites. So this is a picture. There’s that’s Ray and you and Owen Hart. Wow, that’s Ray’s head behind Owen Hart. And then I found another picture. This is just Owen Hart doing the show with, with, with Kevin Eck. And you can see the old Baltimore Civic Center, yeah, the Baltimore arena chair. I
Tim Watts 24:17

Nestor Aparicio 24:44
showed me a picture of it. Ray sent it to me. Matter of fact, I want to pull it up because Ray sent it to me because he got his brother fired
Tim Watts 24:55
a sign that said, Derek Bachman steals from Target. That was the sign he held up and it was on TV. Me, you remember your sign. I remember the sign. We all remember the sign. You were in a feud with Stan Charles at the time, and I had a sign that said, Stan fears nasty. And did you really,
Nestor Aparicio 25:12

Tim Watts 25:16
most fun I’ve ever had at any sporting event in my life?

Nestor Aparicio 25:43
bodies had more fun than you and me? Nope. I love you. Tim watts, that’s glad I brought you out of here today, because I got to look at these old pictures. Great memories,
Tim Watts 25:49
man, great memories. No doubt, did
Nestor Aparicio 25:51
you know I had these?
Tim Watts 25:52
I did not. I did not. I
Nestor Aparicio 25:54
don’t have any pictures or No,
Tim Watts 25:55
I have a lot of pictures, and sadly, I forget like I meant to go through mine. I know I gave you a lot. There’s a lot
Nestor Aparicio 26:02
of morning, because I love you that much. Coming out pictures, I I don’t know where the the one of us in San Diego together that was in that collage, my wife took it down right, took the glass apart, and the pictures are in a box. I don’t know where they are. I’ll find them, but I knew this morning I looked and I’m like, I got Tim coming out today. I gotta find some memories of us next, next time we were here. We’re like, you Tim used to work for me too. And I’m like, I got great pictures, man, I got picture you and Owen Hart,
Tim Watts 26:33
yeah, I know I’ve got pictures from, like, Preakness, Preakness parties we had in the infield, okay, from Green Bay. A lot of them, have you, and other other people. I meant to bring them today, if anybody has
Nestor Aparicio 26:47
pictures. I wrote this down today when, because I got a little whisper, you know, I started seeing old friends and people that have left us and and I was looking, I looked through a lot of pictures, right? Not like, intentionally, I was looking for you. I mean, I’m like, Look, literally, looking through and I’m like, All right, that’s 9798 nine. That’s sort of Tim was around. And then then I would see your hat, and I’d be like, alright, that’s the hat he was wearing at the tailgate. So now I’m looking for, like, where, you know, where you’re so I went through all these pictures today and I wrote this down. I’m like, it was, every picture tells a story, right? That’s a Rod Stewart thing or whatever. Every picture is, like, priceless, right? As I get older, yeah, every one of these stupid little things that’s been in a box for 25 years. I mean, Owen Hart dies tragically, yeah, the wrestling thing I had Gary Michael cappe on the other day, we were talking about Owen Hart. Oh, really, yeah. I mean, Luke and I did an hour with Gary Michael competitive the other day is gonna run next week too. Okay, so I begin. I’ve been trying to see into the year. It’s Christmas time. The ratings are gonna be what they are. The URLs aren’t gonna do anything. You know, I’m doing crab cake tours. I want to stir it up in the documentary. So I didn’t know if you had seen the diet. Sure. I haven’t. I haven’t talked to you. I don’t think since we left here three years ago,
Tim Watts 27:57
we might have traded we haven’t spoken. So
Nestor Aparicio 28:00
the documentary came out eight months ago, and I literally said to you, you should probably watch it. Like to bust all my balls a little bit here. Give me a hard time, you know, because we don’t talk much, and you’re like, of course, I watch a documentary. I know 1000s of people have watched it. I know some people have fed back to me. Like, when they get done watching it, they’ll just send me some sentence and just being like, wow, I need to have something you know, like, usually what I know when people see it, because I get these Rando I finally got around a friend of mine watching a plane yesterday. Oh, really. Hey, watching away to Fort Lauderdale. He said, I just landed in Fort Lauderdale. Watch your movie. Man. That was unbelievable. So everybody has an opinion on it, crates. It’s only great because Greg Landry made it great over Blue Rock productions as a transit so you did watch it, yeah,
Tim Watts 28:42
I watch it for sure. Especially the years that I was with you, brought back a lot of memories for me, right? Like, I a lot of the pictures I might not have been in, but I know I told this you were, you were in a San Diego picture. I made it, I know, but a lot of pictures, like at the barn, like you had the Monday night show at the barn, and I would always come up and I, you know, you probably took, a lot of those pictures. Yeah, yeah, okay, in certain games, if they were good, I know you took their Tennessee never took a good picture. There’s a picture of you on the sideline at San Diego. You had the nasty Jersey helmet on, yeah, it’s from I took that picture because I was on the field
Nestor Aparicio 29:13
with you. You were my reporter. You had a feel. So what the
Tim Watts 29:18
first year we went, you and I went down to the field five minutes. That’s when I realized how loud it is on the field at an NFL game. You don’t really, you don’t really feel that from the stands, but once you get down on that field and you got the sound coming from everywhere, that’s when I knew how loud it got.
Nestor Aparicio 29:31
Did you cover a game on the field in the old stadium in 97 or I don’t think so. I don’t think so. I tell this story whenever I’m asked about it, because, I mean, I was on the field in NFL games for 26 years. You know, the last 15 years they don’t let you on the field. The last five it went from five minutes to four minutes to two minutes to Fu, not at all. You’re not on the field anymore, right? Probably a rule about Jerry Coleman, because, you know, he’s Jerry Coleman, yeah. But the thing I remember the most about being on the field. Of all the years of doing it, of all the passion and blood. And I saw Michael mccrury A couple weeks ago at maritime magic and living classrooms, and his sister was with him, and I said, All I remember about you is throwing up. All you did was throw up on the sidelines. He’s a man. I got nervous. You know, he was kidding around. The thing I remember about being on the field for all of it was the first time I saw an on site kick. Me too. I was at Memorial Stadium. We always came in on what used to be the Orio Doug at the third base side is where you entered the field the last five minutes of the game. We played a game against, I want to think it was a St Louis Rams, and it might have been the eagles that first 96 season, because the Eagles game was like an overtime tie game. Said maybe there were more ons. I don’t know. There was an onside kick. I think it was the st Louis Rams. I think it was, I think Andre Bruce and some of those guys were on the team, or Isaac Bruce, and I was literally at the 30 yard line where the ball was kicked. And I saw all the guys lined up at the 42 and everybody else lined up at the 30 or 24 they’re kicking off at that that’s a 3030 Yeah. And I was on the 30 yard I mean, I was like, right on, right on that right where the ball was kicked. And I watched these 22 men in helmets, and all I could hear was their helmets hitting each other.
Tim Watts 31:27
It was like 11 car crashes going on at the same
Nestor Aparicio 31:29
it was like, literally, like Rams in the woods. Yeah, you know, they see deer interlock or whatever. But when I saw the violence of that play, the only thing I could compare it to is I covered boxing in the 80s, right? And it’s one of the reasons I don’t watch MMA, that’s all John Roller last week. I love y’all, but I don’t need to see y’all beat the hell out each other Saturday. I’m not interested. I covered boxing. Reggie Gross was a big heavyweight, yeah, and Jack Gibbons loved me at the sun and he would send me to cover, as you saw in the document, I covered triathlons, golf tournaments, tennis. I mean, I covered every I covered High School, everything, field hockey, stuff. I didn’t know the rules do, right? Triathlon, I don’t know rules traffic, but boxing was something my father loved. I love Sugar Ray Leonard, my dad got the fights whenever. You know, Ali all with boxing was a huge part of my childhood. Enormous. My dad was from Scranton, Pennsylvania. My dad loved boxing. So there were, there was never a fight in the 70s or 80s that we didn’t watch. Yeah, I’m talking Duran Hagler. Hearns Leonard through Mike Tyson all that. This is the mike tyson era. This is 8687 probably 87 or 88 Jack Gibbon sent me down to the Baltimore Civic Center to cover boxing. Do you know where they sit you when you cover boxing, ringside, ringside. So I had a table just like this, and the ring is literally where. You know where the camera is, and the rings I could touch the if I stood up, I could hold the rope right here. That’s how close to the ring I was. And I had a notebook. You know, reporter, no, we didn’t have laptops. Well, I we had laptops, but I didn’t have my I didn’t wasn’t filing on deadline, right? I was going back to the paper. So I didn’t have to have a computer with me. 510, 11 o’clock. I had all night to write, morning, pay or evening, paper. So I’m at the fight, and I’m there for the undercard this and that, and, yeah, guys are fighting, it’s boxing match. And then I’m there, and I saw a guy take a punch, and I saw his head go, you know, completely torque around heavyweights, big guys. And I’m from Dundalk. I saw street fights. Were fights were fights on the Hill every day in Holly with kids and whatever. Yeah, these are heavy Weezer, 265 pound men. And I had been ringside at wrestling matches. Superstar, grand bleeding. I brooded for blood when I was a kid at the, you know, at the Civic Center, anytime I even put ski would bleed. I was great night. Vietna Right, Bladen themselves do all the wrestling inside stuff. This was like violence for violence sake. And blood happened, and the blood splattered onto my notebook. I went back that night, and everybody in the office loved boxing. Jackman, who just passed away, Mike Marlowe was my boss. They all the sweet science. Ali Frazier, I said, this is the blood all over my notebook from tonight. Jack, honestly, dude, boxing is better on TV, yeah, get somebody else to cover pet ways next fight. Because I don’t really. I went Tex Cobb. I went, like, Howard Cosell when I was 19 years old, right? And I’m like, Nah, that was my reporters. You know, the onside kick, the violence of that one thing, the boxing match I cover with Reggie, gross. That was enough for me. Yeah, you need to see people hurt each other for money for sport, I don’t know. Just didn’t do it for me. I
Tim Watts 34:55
The on site kick thing I saw experienced the same thing, like the. The lions. Barry Sanders last game 98 was here, and I was down on the field. I can’t even remember who won, but there was an on site kick at the end. It was the same deal. I’m staying on the 30 yard line right where this
Nestor Aparicio 35:10
is. I think the Ravens won. That game was Ted March wrote his last game is the correct Yeah, yeah.
Tim Watts 35:14
And so that collision happened right in front of me, and that, like, never see anything like it like, you know, regular football, okay, you might have a, you know, a tackle you’ve got, you know, right front. It’s totally different.
Nestor Aparicio 35:27
And that’s why the MMA thing when I’m in a, I’m a green mount station, and they’ll put it up on a big screen, two guys beat your two women beating the hell out each other. And I’m like, now I’m a lover, yeah, you know, literally, I, you know, if it’s your thing, God bless you. Go get your fight on. Go get Mike Tyson running around with this clown last week. Like, yeah, not for me either. It’s all I could do to keep up with football and baseball, and it’s for you to write three kids you were in your Manchester fan, but like, you’re not the sports fan you were 28 years ago. No,
Tim Watts 35:58
especially like the NFL, I’ve kind of become dish disillusioned with the NFL years. I think number one, you did cover it. I mean, yeah, two reasons. I think number one, it’s just overexposed. Like, there,
Nestor Aparicio 36:12
see me, the Thursday night game we have tonight, the Saturday night game, Wednesday night game, and not
Tim Watts 36:15
even that, just the off season. Like, okay, like the seasons over, Super Bowls over, okay, let’s put the NFL away for a while. But, like, the mainstream sports media, like, it’s just NFL all the time, and I, like, I It’s too much for me, so
Nestor Aparicio 36:31
you pick it up in September. I’ll pick it up in September, watching a game this week, right? I’ll probably
Tim Watts 36:36
go to bed at halftime, probably, oh, really, you’ve
Nestor Aparicio 36:39
become really old, yeah,
Tim Watts 36:42
oh yeah, yeah. And that’s football, but like the NFL product, like, it’s just over officiated, okay? And I think, you know, technology has a lot to do with that. You know, you’ve got 47 different camera angles and all this kind of stuff, and every little play is dissected, and it’s like, I just want to focus on the play on the field. I don’t you know.
Nestor Aparicio 37:01
Did you enjoy your time covering? I did NFL for me. I
Tim Watts 37:05
did absolutely. What
Nestor Aparicio 37:06
did you enjoy about it? When you look back, your kids say, Dad, you covered the NFL for three years. You were on the field really once? No, I was on the field for three like I’ve never spoken to you about this. I don’t I, I know I have my own perspective on it now, and I’ll admit this to you. I have not admitted this on the air, yeah, because we talked about mental health with Karen Fauci here earlier, I watch the games, I write about the games, the lack of integrity that has been shown vividly to me by Eric da Costa, by John Harbaugh, certainly by Chad Steele, certainly by Kevin Byrne, certainly by Dick Cass, definitely by Steve Bucha. And the fact that they’re discriminating against me actively, right my my Caucasian employees out there right now, and they won’t tell me why I’m not allowed to be out there, yeah, they’ve never given an official reason. Everywhere I go, people ask me about it, and I have to answer it. I really looking through these pictures and seeing the joy we had at going to San Diego and having our team, and it was Baltimore’s team, and it was our team, and it was about our community, right and against DC, in Pittsburgh, in New York, and defending our honor, and Indianapolis, and all of that, really civic pride, yeah? I mean, that’s really what, yeah, my fandom was led by liking the competition, by civic pride, but probably more than that, in your era. I don’t know how profound this will be, but especially since some of these guys have died goose and other people along. I mean, I texted Phil savage yesterday, okay, he’s the general manager of the Jets today. I
Tim Watts 38:53
don’t know if you know that. I
Nestor Aparicio 38:54
did not. They fired Joe Douglas. They made him the GM, yeah. So Phil’s now GM of the jet. So I text him yesterday. So it is funny that it comes full circle, right? I text Phil savage yesterday, and he texts me back in five seconds, because 27 years later, he’s a good man. He’s a good human being. Brian billet, good Marvin Lewis would never comes to the state of Maryland without informing me and making sure that we spend real time together, right? You know, I mean, eight weeks ago, Marvin was here with the Raiders, went down. We did three and a half hours, dinner, food, laughing, walking, French friendship, right? Like real human contact. I don’t know what. I don’t know what this is. Luke doesn’t Luke’s in there too, and there’s no humanity. Yeah, they are a corporate entity that is set up to entice worldwide gambling, worldwide sales to everything Lamar purple, playing games in Germany, sacrificing home games that do all that. Like I don’t there’s a there’s a velvet rope up everywhere to have access to any of it. They took $600 million of our money and built a club that nobody will get into, right while they move Luke Jones to the corner of the press box while they use the excuse that they no longer had space to accommodate the Hispanic guy from Dundalk. Yeah, that’s covered every game in their existence for three decades. So the the fact that they’ve done what they’ve done to me and gotten away with it, or whatever, the fact of the matter is, they would have done that to anybody, probably not just a guy in Dundalk who worked his whole life to have a company that to basically glorify them, right? Like, literally, to help them make more money, sure, and it’s patently offensive, all of it. I mean, just all of it. You know, I met Mr. Rubenstein last week, and at 56 Karen was here earlier, taught my leadership, and I’m figuring out what I’m going to do with the rest of my life, with the time that I’m not spending this Saturday on a plane to LA the money, the Sunday night hotel, the Monday night hotel, the early morning Tuesday, the seven hours on the plane, back the rental car, the expense of doing all that to go out there were I know I’m not wanted, I’m not appreciated. I’m treated like ish from the minute I arrived to the minute I leave. It became that with the ravens, and I never really understood it, other than to say, That’s Chad steals. That’s the that’s the business he thinks they should be in, mistreating people like me, right? I don’t know what to make of it, other than I still love the games, but I’m with you, dude. I’m not watching the pregame show at nine o’clock on Sunday morning. I’m not getting on planes, getting out Thursday night like the Steelers are playing. I might fire it up on my computer because I don’t have a smart, smart TV. I have cable. I have regular cable television, so I’m not smarted up to watch Amazon on my television. I watch it on my computer. I don’t watch Thursday night football. I think it’s a horrible idea. Those
Tim Watts 41:59
games are horrible. They’re awful to watch. Guys aren’t prepared to play. Now, would you want
Nestor Aparicio 42:03
to eat a meal here if the cook wasn’t ready to cook or the food wasn’t ready to be served? So it’s terrible. And if you spend any real time around Steve Bucha and the billionaire boys club, and I’ve spent tons of time more than most. I’ve gone in 20 owners meetings the last but, you know, like, I mean, I’ve been at the pool with Roger and all of them, the lack of regard that they have for every fan everywhere, yeah, is evidential. You know what I mean. And if you don’t smell it, and the gambling part of it, I don’t know how anyone can like it as much as we used to like it. That’s really like, I miss that. And there’s a mile It hurts my soul, but I loved it so much. Yeah, and I they made me hate it. Yeah, they made me hate them. Because how could you not right? You’re telling me to stand outside in the cold instead of coming inside of an empty room just to mistreat me. I mean, they did anti human things because the arrogance is so overwhelming, and it’s so in front of my eyes, where you went out to cover the team in the old police academy that was built on Stevenson, forgot about right? I mean, there was a part of walking in that building that was humbling unto itself, because it wasn’t fit for a king, no, it was for
Tim Watts 43:29
football players. Yeah, exactly it was. That was a rough, rough facility.
Nestor Aparicio 43:36
Now, other thing, yeah, and there’s 24 hour massage and meals. And I said, when they redid the locker room, I’m like, this looks like the United Airlines, VIP and O’Hare. It looks like I’m waiting for a plane. Yeah, you know, it doesn’t look like a place where we sweat and work hard, you know. But I know they do, and you know the record stands for that. But the the arrogance and the just the lack of integrity of John Harbaugh is jaw dropping to me. Yeah, it’s just, I don’t he sent me a text like eight weeks ago, like praying for me and someone like your prayer trolling me, dude, you haven’t spoken to me in two and a half years. Say hello to your wife. For me, I said you would not want to run into my wife, John, you don’t want to talk to my wife. My wife was thrown out of her seats after 20 years, after writing checks, after taking time off from work to travel around, to cover the team, to help my company, where she was disrespected as a woman. My wife was not treated like other women who were working. My wife was treated like the scumbags wife, yeah, right, and she didn’t like that, and I didn’t like that when she was running sound in Cleveland, so I could go into the locker room to get guests for the show and get alternate sound. And she. Running the podium, she was treated like a 15 year old girl that wasn’t that didn’t earn her spot to be there because I didn’t really own a radio station that was playing the sound the next day. Yeah, yeah. It’s offensive. And if anybody sees Chad Steele, they should tell him, if they know him a little bit. Tim Watts is here. He is my friend. It’s been my friend for three decades, what I call you employee reporter. At the
Tim Watts 45:23
time, it was intern. It was sort of army knife. Yes, when I was, you know, I did training camp. I helped you with a lot of the the road trips. I was in school at Maryland. At the time, I covered the football and basketball games down there with Hennessy. You went
Nestor Aparicio 45:37
to College Park, yeah, that’s where I graduated. That’s where you got hired. Hennessy had some nepotism, probably
Tim Watts 45:41
so Terps, probably so do you remember
Nestor Aparicio 45:45
Linda would come up to my studio? Yes, I do. I mean, that’s what I’m talking that was
Tim Watts 45:49
the first day of Hennessy air, right when he didn’t come up the first day he did. Because I had Peter bolware,
Nestor Aparicio 45:55
you know, who still stays in touch with me. And if I text him right now, he protects me back, and I have never, I’ve only text him to do kind things for dying people. Okay? Mark Duffner, Mark Duffner, huh. MARK Duffner is my Facebook friend 30 years later, yeah, speaking of keeping relationships, Mark was the coach for the Miami Dolphins. Was was one of the he wanted coordinators. A position coming linebacker, so, yeah, linebacker, something like that. Maybe D line on what he was doing, but he was doing something in Miami. And who’s the kid who spent a quarterback for the Titans last couple years? It was the Miami first round draft pick. Gosh, I’ve just lost his name. Either way, either way. The quarterback who’s been quarterbacking the Titans the last five years. Thank you. Ryan Tannehill, thank you. I think we come up with it. He was a like a rookie in Miami, yeah, and a family in Miami, three daughters, not real. Dundalk, Patapsco. Dundalk, but they were Tesco people. They wrote me a note, and they said, my father’s dying, and he loves the Miami Dolphins. And I’m like, we ain’t want anything since 72 and they’re like, my dad loves the dolphins, and he loves your show, and he loved Don Shula, and he fell in love with the dolphins when the team left. It was that, that era, but probably about 10 years ago, this eight years ago, whenever tanh was there and I threw Duffner a note. I’m like, Hey, man, I wouldn’t hit you in anything, but I got this couple girls there. They asked me, if, do you know anyone with the dolphins? And I’m like, yeah, yeah, maybe let me think. And I want, I’m like, Duffner was coming. Like, yeah, yeah, I can help you. So I text Duffner, and Duffner set up a FaceTime. Oh, wow. And Tannehill was apparently just a really good guy, and he face time with this fellow from gundawg wise Avenue who passed away not long after, yeah, you know, people do that. Jim arval did that for me. Is that right with John’s help, about two and a half three right before the right when John threw me out. I haven’t spoken to John since this happened, yeah, but, um, Rob Santoni down here in Glendon. Santoni, sure, yeah. Rob Santoni San Tony family, Scott out in Michigan. It was a Michigan alum. One of the cousins was was terminally ill, okay? And his wife and and Rob reached to me and said he’s a Michigan fan, man. Can you you know? Is there anything I know, you know Jim. And I’m like, yeah, and Jim, of course, called him, talked to him, you know, playing charges this week. So I want to tell a good Jim. R You You covered Jim?
Tim Watts 48:28
I did, yeah, cover Jimmy. I definitely did. Yeah. I remember getting him on the show, talking to him a few times. Captain come back, yep. Captain come back.
Nestor Aparicio 48:35
Gotta see if I can find some. Do you have any pictures of, like, barn celebrity? Did you grab pictures with people and
Tim Watts 48:41
stuff when you know I don’t like personally, me and a celebrity? No, you’re probably the biggest celebrity I have a picture with from all that time. To be honest with you, I took a lot of pictures of celebrity, like we ran into Danny Bonaduce in San Diego, and I took the picture of you and him, but I found that picture today, but I didn’t, I didn’t know you’re with me that Yeah, yeah. I took the picture of you guys, you
Nestor Aparicio 49:00
with me that night? Yeah? Yep. I thought Kevin Eck was with me that night would be that, yeah?
Tim Watts 49:05
I think I have the double the picture at home because it was on my camera. Was
Nestor Aparicio 49:08
that never with the Jimmy loves. He got thrown out almost jail, yeah, yeah, that was a night, yeah. Tim Watts is here. We’re at degree mount station. I saw Chris stick his head near he and Dave are gonna come by. I don’t know what your favorite memory would be, but just bring everybody up to speed on Manchester Valley and kids and parenting and what, what do you do for a living? What did I prepare you to do in life? I do
Tim Watts 49:32
analytics and business intelligence, so not really a whole lot. From my time with you kind of carried over.
Nestor Aparicio 49:40
This is barely a business, and I’m barely intelligent. What do you analyze?
Tim Watts 49:44
I work for, like a large insurance conglomerate, so i Sounds exciting, yeah, well, pays the bills, not terribly, but it does pay the bills, so that, that’s what I do. My My kids are athletes, so my younger two go to school at Manchester Valley. But. Both of them played volleyball this past fall, my middle daughter, Sam, was a junior. She was on the varsity. My youngest volleyball
Nestor Aparicio 50:06
is a racket in it, right year round. That
Tim Watts 50:08
is awesome. Volleyball is a great sport, like I had the COVID
Nestor Aparicio 50:12
state volleyball coach on two weeks ago, scholarship I can make. But volleyball is one of those things that I and I said this to the coach, I said, as coach Walsh, I said, was how we picked up girls in Ocean City back and we set a net up, and everybody wanted it was, like, it was like, a girl. Mag, it was a people. Mag, everybody wanted to play on the beach. Yeah. And volleyball is, like, one of those, anybody could play, you know, it’s for fun. So, you know, I, I would play volleyball with one setup. It’s one
Tim Watts 50:39
of the fastest growing sports, if not the fastest growing sport for girls at the high school level, volleyball. Dad, I’m a volleyball dad, so Manchester valley girl. Dad, great season. Varsity Mavericks finished 12 and five this year. Their best season in a long time. Beat Westminster three times, which is a big deal. I
Nestor Aparicio 50:57
want to ask you who they lost to. Hopefully it was South South
Tim Watts 50:59
Carroll was kind of the cream of the cream of the crop in the County this year. They were undefeated ringers, then they lost in the playoffs. So I think they’re
Nestor Aparicio 51:05
recruiting some team from Washington County, yeah. But, you know, they always
Tim Watts 51:09
have a tough program, but great season for the Mavericks. It’s exciting to watch and watch my kids play. So my youngest, Catherine, she plays softball. So are you from here? You’re from
Nestor Aparicio 51:19
Amsterdam. Now. I’m from Catonsville. That’s
Tim Watts 51:21
what I thought you went to Mount St Joe, mount. St, Joe, yeah, yep. What? St, Joe, she came up on a farm. Did you? Yeah, came out here. What
Nestor Aparicio 51:27
made a life for you out here? I always ask people that, because it’s a beautiful community, yeah. I mean, and I told Karen, she laughed at me, but when I come here Christmas week, I was a worried so, like, little early for Christmas, and I thought they won’t have the decorations up, but we did the show up here so many times, right? Like I have pictures, I put them out today, Sam Cook and Steve Smith and Barry trots has been done a lot of shows in this room. And my favorite ones are the ones where the Christmas lights are up. Yeah? Because this is such a great Christmas community. It is
Tim Watts 51:54
really, really, is they? You know, just decorated a week ago. You got all the decorations beautiful there. It’s really beautiful. Yeah, the tree lighting ceremony, I think was last Friday. Okay, it’s this Friday. I can’t remember either way. We got married in 2003 my wife, Danielle, is from Sykesville. We’re looking for houses there. It’s a little expensive. You go out to Westminster, is a little less expensive. But then you come out here, it was a little less expensive than Westminster, so it fit our budget at the time. But, like, it’s a great community. I mean, we’ve lived here now, made a long 21 years, getting close to that. Yeah. So raised our kids here. You know, it’s been a great place to raise a family.

beautiful Hampstead. It’s all brought to you by friends at the Maryland lottery. I have Raven scratch offs. Give away. I’m giving you lucky 11. I hope that you hit it big like Luis Aparicio. Tim watts, I am so proud of everyone who ever worked here, or is ever a part of anything we did, certainly to bring memories back in the documentary, the pictures, I think losing people, the fight that Ray Bachmann said he’s doing well. Give him some love. You can find him out on the internet. He rang the bell a couple weeks ago. I don’t know that he was quite this happy as he is in this picture, but I’m gonna send that over to him right now. You know, matter of fact, here’s what we’re gonna do, you and I go take a selfie for Ray, all right, and, and I’m gonna, I’m gonna set this up, and this is gonna be the last thing we do before I sign off. But I want to make sure we get this together. All right, Ray’s gonna get that? Yeah, I am Nestor. We’re gonna come back. Chris is here, Dave’s here. We’re gonna talk about the green mount bowl. We’re gonna talk to OTB. We’re gonna talk about gambling, sports wagering, but more importantly, we’re gonna talk about crab cakes for the holidays. We’re up here in Hampstead. We’re beautiful. Green mount station with old friends like Tim Watts is so good to see you, my brother. You too. Man, digital copies. Did you see your kids conceive? What a troublemaker you were back last century. I am Nestor. We are W NSC am 1570 Towson, Baltimore, we never stopped talking Baltimore positive with guys like Tim you.
