Welcome home. We are WNST AM 1570 Towson Baltimore. We’re Baltimore positive. We are positively doing things out here at Costas Inn. We’re in Timonium. It’s Maryland Crab Cake Tour. It’s all presented by the Maryland Lottery. I have Lucky 35 here for Mike Messina for our guest. Also GBMC keeping me alive and well. And the GBMC the BC is Baltimore County. We’re going to be talking Baltimore County politics here. We have Republican candidate for Baltimore County Executive Patrick Dyer, who I met honestly. I met him at Italian Associated Charities a couple months ago up here at Pappas. We’re going to be at Koco’s in a couple of weeks. We’re going to be a fishmonger’s daughter in Catonsville as well as State Fair. It is a big, big county, and you want to run it, Pat Dyer. So welcome back. Good to see you. I know we got a poolside party happening here. And how am I Italian? You’re not even Italian, but I met you from the Italian. We had

Patrick Dyer 0:48
we had the largest indoor party back in June at Martin’s Mansion. 900 people. We raised a lot of money. It was a wonderful

Nestor Aparicio 0:58
Italian associated Italian charity.

Patrick Dyer 1:01
Italian American American charity. I said indoor whatnot, not being Italian, but I received their highest award, the Dr. Frank Marino Award, and we raised a lot of money. And come the holiday season, we’re going to be giving away 20 scholarships and almost 100 charities getting money. So, and I’ll be up on stage giving that money out. It’s a little pledge to see so many happy faces. Does this too big? difference. It adds a lot of value. It just goes to show you this is a great group of philanthropic gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, how hard we work to make our community better. I’m very much involved.

Nestor Aparicio 1:34
Well, I got in the middle of that meeting up there, man, and you’re like, I want to give this charity. I want to do this. A bunch of Italian guys and some Irish guys get together trying to divvy up like money that you’re doing good things. And I, I was in on the meeting, and I, you guys generate a lot of money for the

Patrick Dyer 1:49
community. Really, very passionate. They’re all very passionate, very dedicated. You have 50 some people that come to a monthly meeting. You don’t find that with many organizations, and they’re all very prominent business guys around Baltimore County in the Maryland area. They’re all just really

Nestor Aparicio 2:05
All I’m supporting you is Republican for Baltimore County Executive. Well, let’s talk about the campaign. What you’re learning here, I want to get into it because I mean I know you sat at crime meetings recently. We’re going to talk about taxes and flight from the county. I talked to Nick Stewart at length. I talked to Pat Young at length. I talked to Izzy at length. They’re no longer involved in in the conversation. Julian has been invited. Julian, you know where to find me. Come on anytime. I’ll have you out. We could be all around Baltimore County. I like equal time, and I like hearing viewpoints. And you’re going to be on my ballot. I told you when I saw you what four months ago out here I’m like I can’t vote for you in the primary I’m a Democrat right can that so in an effort to be equal time and because I live in Baltimore County I work in Baltimore County I you know I pay taxes in Baltimore County I have questions about what Julian and Kathy Klosmyer out digging ditches with Sashi Brown the other day, who’s banned a Baltimore County resident taxpayer from being a media member there. So I have real questions about a lot of it, and where the money, where’s that 120 million coming from, wherever that was, and why are we funding billionaires? I have questions for you. Crime sits at the top, I think, of the Republican agenda in a general national sense. I’m sure you and I would disagree greatly on ice, amongst other things. But I think one thing we can all agree on, as I had Sarah David on, as well as Schellenberger and all that, crime in the county is a voter issue. It’s a primary voter issue, and I want you to take it on in regard to how you would change things or how things would be different in a dire administration.

Patrick Dyer 3:42
Patrick got a county county executive. I think the job one of the county executive is to protect the citizens. Follow up with that kind of words and action. I kind of walk through of the public forums, public safety forums. You had the chief of police. You had Scott Schmelberger. And then you got up there. I think of course the city council meeting. We kind of Crime or okay, okay. They’re saying that crime is a perception issue, and if you went to those forums as one by one the participants would get up and pour their hearts out, tell their horrific stories about what happened to them, you knew it was real. It was real life for them. It was it was gut wrenching. Their stories about what happened to some of these victims, and they got lag time to get my hands to them, and they were they were very upset, and they directed their comments directly to the panel, and they wanted answers. So some people, you know, they knew who I was, and one by one, they would come around to me and say, “Hey, you got a win. I got your back. Well, how can a county executive

Nestor Aparicio 5:30
change that? Explain what.

Patrick Dyer 5:32
A lot of it is first. I’m going to make sure that our police department is fully funded. That’s the number one line on line I made in my life. We’re going to make sure we have the correct amount of options next day. And yes, I have friends of my squad officers, and they talk to me, leery-eyed, retired, and there’s there’s times that this county is somewhat vulnerable, and that can’t happen. We need these guys tip top shape. I’m going to make sure these guys play the field at all times. I’m going to do every

Nestor Aparicio 6:15
Well, with an unlimited budget, it still seems that recruitment’s difficult.

Patrick Dyer 6:20
Yes. Well,

Nestor Aparicio 6:22
throughout the country.

Patrick Dyer 6:22
Well, I think it’s it’s it’s certainly lead the trend is promising. Calming County is a great place to live. This is probably one of the best places on the coast. I’m talking about hiring officers, and it’s a it’s a it’s a good career. And but they’re stressed out because they’re being pushed to the limit in terms of the overtime that they’re Is it

Nestor Aparicio 6:53
a budget issue or is it a manpower issue at this point? Is there budgeting to hire another 50 cops right now? Well, is it now though? Where where are we currently?

Patrick Dyer 7:03
We have the budget. There’s they they can certainly hire the officers, and they can certainly trim that budget from somewhere else.

Nestor Aparicio 7:14
Where are we fat in the county? When you say trim the budget, in a general sense, if the budget’s flat, let’s just say it’s flat, and I don’t know the reality of it. You do and should if you’re running for county executive. But where are we fat? Where do you get that funding for police without going to taxpayers asking for it? Yeah, the

Patrick Dyer 7:33
taxpayers, as you were talking about earlier, they don’t want to be taxed. But there is some. We’re going to do a we’re going to do an audit of every department within within Baltimore County, and if you talk to a lot of the employees involved in Canada as I have, there’s a lot of there’s a lot of excess within the system, and it’s it’s got to change. So it’s it we’ve had one party rule for three years, so different things have just been allowed to go. So, so if you haven’t really made the tough decisions to streamline the county, there’s a there’s a lot of employees to talk to individuals. There there was within every department, where else do you think money needs to be put, other than policing, at this point? Well, our school systems, obviously, you know, half the budget goes to the school systems, and I, and and you’re not really going to get. That’s we need to educate our children. That’s one of the most important things that we do. Half the budget goes to them, but we don’t have any type of control over the money that’s going to the payment to the kids. There’s no inspector general right now looking over anybody. There’s no inspector general in the government. There’s no inspector at the local distributor. I’m going to be pushing for that. I think you need a watchdog to make sure these these dollars are adequately allocated, so the money and so kids are all for making sure that the money goes to where it should be in the classrooms. That’s what I want to do. I want every dollar. I want to know that that money is allocated properly to benefit our children. That’s what people do.

Nestor Aparicio 9:18
How can you do that when there is that separation with the education part of this. In regard, you’re not the first Baltimore County executive candidate. I had Red Moron before that. It is sort of unique in the same way where the mayor of Baltimore City doesn’t really run the police department or the funding in different ways.

Patrick Dyer 9:37
Well, which we we can push the legislatures to get that inspector general in place. There was a law that was sponsored by so many Republican delegates to try to get that inspector general. So we need we need a watchdog. But I think it’s it’s more of an issue of hey, we have we now have a new administration that wants to kind of go. For the dollars that are being spent at the front of school system, like I said, it’s half the budget. We have a responsibility to make sure that that money goes on to our citizens and to our taxpayers. And I want to see that we’re going to have an accountability area. That money is going in the right spot. So, so there is a lot of

Nestor Aparicio 10:25
power. Patrick Dyer throwing a pool party here. Where are we doing this year? When’s this august 13, 75 bucks? He’s a candidate Republican nominee, not just a candidate nominee for Baltimore County executive. You can learn more out on his website here, and the friends of Patrick Dyer as well. Flight from the county and tax base-something that, when I talk to some of the Democratic candidates, it certainly was at the top of their agenda, saying we we need more money to fund the county, and that is a problem. It’s certainly a problem for the city as well for the state. That people are leaving, not just the county, but leaving the state.

Patrick Dyer 11:00
I’m going to tell people before they put up a full sales sign, put up a packed dial for county executive sign because things are going to change. The way I look at it, NSS, I think we have to look at the counties. We have to look at the counties that are in the state. We need businesses. We need to grow hard. Businesses are fleeing. We need to attract businesses. What what

Nestor Aparicio 11:22
attracts a business?

Patrick Dyer 11:23
Well, we got so many vacant businesses in Baltimore County, and we got to reach out internationally, nationally, and amongst Maryland to bring businesses into those towns. There’s a lot of tools between Baltimore County. Well,

Nestor Aparicio 11:37
what makes us attractive? If you’re the county executive, and you’re pitching a big business, whatever that business would be. I mean, we’ve had the Black and Deckers and the and the McCormicks here and the Under Armours and all the keeping the Ravens around was big business for the the current county executive, right? What is the attractive part to lure a business to Baltimore County?

Patrick Dyer 11:59
How the town is looking at Baltimore County. They’re going to look at everything, especially if they have a family. They’re going to look at the school system. So that’s got to be that’s got to be tough. So again, back to the school system. Money goes into the school system. We need to make sure our kids are getting educated, and that that that money is is is properly serviced by having community school, so we all we also need to we need to make streamline the business process. So when business do open up in Bolton County, we need to streamline it. I’m going to have a hotline right in my office. If anybody wants to come to Bolton County and go into a business that can get my attention, I’m going to do everything in my account to streamline it so that when they come to Bolton County. they

Nestor Aparicio 12:46
looking for tax breaks when they’re calling somebody like you, though? I mean, aren’t they looking for tips? Aren’t they looking for incentives that other municipalities will offer? Quite frankly, right? It’s competitive, man. I go to Maine. I’ll be in Mako in a couple weeks. I mean, I see what’s going on down there. We got to compete, but we have tools

Patrick Dyer 13:03
available to us. We have process center incentives, and then and like Baltimore County is a unique situation. I think it’s one of the best spots to live on these schools. We have some movement, and

Nestor Aparicio 13:13
so there’s a lot of wonderful resources that are here. We got the sports teams, I’ve lived here my whole life. Other than 19 years, I’ve lived in the city. I still own. But it was our 28th anniversary here with WNST. So I mean, I’ve owned. I’ve owned a radio station in Towson, in Baltimore County. I even say it the way Moeller told county. I say county, county, county. But yeah, I mean, I’ve lived here my whole life. I, it’s funny because I had this argument when I moved back to the county four years ago, and I’m a county voter now. I had Redmer and Johnny Owen years ago. I wasn’t voting in the county, right? So, for me, thinking about leaving Baltimore County to go to Anne Arundel County or Harford County or Baltimore City-that’s existential to me, being a Baltimorean. You know, I wouldn’t think like I’m being disloyal to Pat Dyer or Julian Jones if I were to leave the county in eight months. But I also think like there is a part where I don’t ever really think about leaving anywhere. I-I don’t think like I’m leaving because of the crime or because of the taxes or because of the schools, both my elementary and high school have been rebuilt in East Baltimore County. So I know we’re trying to get Delaney done, and we’re doing other schools. Lansdowns getting done. I know it gets done one at a time, but I’m somebody that doesn’t think life in the county has deteriorated during my lifetime. I don’t know about education because I’m not as close to it. I only know what I read and see and feel. I would think that I might have been better educated in 1978 with Bob Dubell than than you would be today. Maybe that’s a factor of I think modern life. But I love Baltimore County. You know what I mean? I I don’t know that I would leave. You know, Republican or Democrat, East or West. You know, whatever. I don’t. Seek, I don’t think our quality of life stinks in Baltimore County. How about that? I I like it,

Patrick Dyer 15:06
and and I tell the story. I mean, I said I I had my paper out up and down in New York, and now I’m raising my future. And what I what I say is I want them to get an education. I want them to find a job, and and I want them to find a place to to to live in Baltimore County. I want them to stay. I don’t want them to live because I know, just like you said, it’s a wonderful county to grow up in. It has so many so many wonderful resources, the mountains, and the rest of the Chesapeake Bay. It has so many wonderful visits. Patrick Dyer is that’s why he runs. He’s running for Baltimore County Executive Republican nominee.

Nestor Aparicio 16:00
You can find him. It’s D Y E R. He’s running against Julian Jones and perhaps others independently. They’re all going to be welcome on. I’ve had people reaching me that are that have heard competitor. Just throw me a note. Nestor BaltimorePositive.com. I promise I’ll I’ll reach back at. For you, with why your why in this, you manage money, correct? Is that what you do? Tell me what you really do. What’s your real life?

Patrick Dyer 16:23
I’m known for helping people properly invest the money that they have.

Nestor Aparicio 16:33
How many years you been doing that?

Patrick Dyer 16:34
30 years.

Nestor Aparicio 16:51
And you’ve been independent for a number of years. 30 years. You left T. We were 30 years ago. Different company then, right? Than it is now, right? A little bit different, much larger. I was the youngest one of the youngest supervisors they had, I believe. So I was happy. What at what point did you throw your hat in the ring to do this? And the family you mentioned your family and and giving of yourself to be county executive. If you’re county executive, you come here. Guys have a piece behind you. You have a detail. I mean, like I remember when Don Moore’s one of best friends in the world. He became Baltimore County executive. It is a life-altering kind of thing. But for you, the decision to try to run to get this far and to be a nominee-anger at how things are done, dismay-like what what what really pushed

Patrick Dyer 17:37
you to do this? I want to be. I want to lead the family. I’ve seen who’s out there, and like I said, I have new children. I know a lot of young children. I want to be the family. I’ve been president of the Army Society, Irish Association of East Coast, Association. So I’ve been known to lead, and people have encouraged me to. really? I want to meet that. I’ll like them more. They really love you, and and I’m used to working solutions and reaching across the aisle and getting things done. Honest to God,

Nestor Aparicio 18:20
I’m not like you’re running for office. I’m being respectful. What, what makes being a Republican attractive to you currently?

Patrick Dyer 18:26
Well, I think

Nestor Aparicio 18:28
there’s nothing attracts me, and I have voted for Republicans.

Patrick Dyer 18:31
Safe streets. You know,

Nestor Aparicio 18:32
I had Bob Old sitting next to me. I’ve had Larry. I’m not. I have voted across, across ticket, across party. I, I’m open-minded. It has to make sense to me, though.

Patrick Dyer 18:42
Safety. We want business growth. We we we definitely should be able to agree on some of those issues: safety, business growth, transparency in government. That’s that’s my main focus of wiring. That’s that’s it. I mean, do you feel like

Nestor Aparicio 18:58
you’re getting at the top of your party? I have to ask that. Are you are you supportive of everything Donald Trump does?

Patrick Dyer 19:04
We had this discussion. I would say we’re not

Nestor Aparicio 19:07
talking to me. You’re talking to other Democrats to vote. I mean, literally, right?

Patrick Dyer 19:10
Right. I can vote for you too.

Nestor Aparicio 19:30
You agree with the war?

Patrick Dyer 19:31
I agree with a lot of things. The war would be something I would have to say. It’s it’s starting to cost a lot of money, and I would say to look at that.

Nestor Aparicio 19:44
You pleased that we never had a vote, and nobody-it was just-it’s his war. Well, it does feel us against them, and I think that that the. Fortunate part of this in living through this horror show that is Donald Trump the last 10 years is the divisive part of how I even feel sitting next to you and seeing the R next to your name. You know what I mean? There’s a part where I even if I loved you, I’d have a hard time voting for you because of what that represents, and and that I’ve never felt that way before. I didn’t feel that way about Ronald Reagan. I didn’t feel that way about the Bush guys. I got pictures of me with George Bush at the White House. I’m trying to think if I voted for him. I don’t think I did, but I can’t go through it. But I never looked d d d d. That’s not who I am, right? Like I wouldn’t have you sitting here if I really felt that strongly. But I do feel like if you’re going to be a Republican and be on the ballot as a Republican, there’s a lot of explaining that needs to be done to a lot of Democrats in order for you to win. In order for you to win, you’re going to need Democratic votes. You would agree with that.

Patrick Dyer 20:53
I do, and I’m going.

Nestor Aparicio 21:12
Well, on a local level, if the schools and the crime and the taxes and the services and the potholes-I call potholes means everything. The potholes means everything, right? Like in a general sense, quality of life, quality of life, right? Like I don’t feel like that. I live in the county now. If I were pissed, run against Julian. I’d run against you. I would just be an independent. If I if I felt you were a criminal like Sheila, like when I was in the city when this whole thing started, I would jump in as an independent, go get my 9000 votes or signatures or whatever have to get and jump on the ballot. I’m not so dissatisfied with Baltimore County in regard to you or Julian or even Izzy and Pat or any you know Nick any of the guys that ran. I think we have a good county, and I think I’ve had a good quality of life. I had a good education here. I feel like my son got a good education at Perry Hall, right? I have some issues with the county, and if you’re running it, I’ll let you know. But in a general sense, I’m not angry about local politics. If you’re doing all that, it wouldn’t matter to me. I have David Marks on all the time, right? Like the the difference between Republican and Democratic up and down Bel Air Road is fix my pothole, make my kids safe at school, make me safe at the mall, right? Make things work, right? Make the trash pick up on time, right? I mean, so that has nothing to do with Donald Trump to me, or nothing to do with ideology, but I think in the modern world it kind of does in some way, and in a way maybe it has more so to me at 57 than it did at 37, 20 years ago, and you understand that that’s going to affect you at the ballot box, right?

Patrick Dyer 22:45
Yeah, I can see that.

Nestor Aparicio 22:47
I told Al that 10 years ago when when Al and I sat together, and he was running against Johnny. I’m like, nothing offensive, but this has become us and them. It’s become teams, and if you open your phone, you see that, right? Like, and I think that that’s a really unfortunate American thing, because on the street it’s not that way. On the street, it’s

Patrick Dyer 23:07
yeah. I agree.

Nestor Aparicio 23:40
Well, Democrats have been running it for 40 years. You still love it, right? Your family loves

Patrick Dyer 23:45
it. They do

Nestor Aparicio 23:46
love it. Yes. Honestly, Pat Dyer here. Be square with me. You family’s Democrat. What’s the number one argument you have with the most boisterous Democrat in your family that you still love? And I hope you still get together thing because I think that that’s the worst thing Trump has done is divided families. I mean, just it’s it’s stupid. It was stupid to ever be involved with him because it it it drives a fissure between you and me that you don’t even know. You know, like literally. Why didn’t do this with Raskin, who’s you know manages money is his sisters are Democrats and when I go to events they’re they’re bribing him and like all that but like this isn’t this isn’t funny anymore it never was but like it’s it’s not good and and I do think it winds up costing Republicans credibility at the ballot box, down the line, down ballot, beyond Trump, everything below Trump, whether it’s Cox, whether it’s you, whether it’s Marx, whoever it is on that side of the ballot. For anybody that’s a Democrat like me, that wants to reach across theoretically or whatever and say, I like Pat. He’s in the. Italian group. I like Pat. He will be good on crime. I like Pat. But the R. You know what I mean? And I’m telling you, that’s not something that.

Patrick Dyer 25:08
Well, I’m getting

Nestor Aparicio 25:09
certainly you you you you need to acknowledge that that’s that’s real. Yes. But for your Democratic family members to get them to vote for you, what, where do you find that? Other than talking about it and BSing me and saying we’ve got detonate when we don’t, because you think we do, like I’m married. Sometimes that happens too, right? Like literally, is there any détente that you can find even with your family members to get them to vote for you? Like really?

Patrick Dyer 25:50
Yes. And how do

Nestor Aparicio 25:53
you do that? What does that appeal? Well,

Patrick Dyer 25:54
it doesn’t. It’s not something I do today. It’s something I’ve done for a long time. They’re not going to look at you today and say, “Oh, he’s a Republican. I’m not going to vote for him. You have to kind of go on who you are, and that’s why I’m running. I’ve

Nestor Aparicio 26:08
always voted that way.

Patrick Dyer 26:09
Yeah, yeah. I’m not just. I have someone of attraction in terms of my business, in terms of organizations that I’ve been involved with, and so they’re looking at this. They’re looking for. I

Nestor Aparicio 26:27
wholeheartedly agree with that, but if you support Donald Trump, it changes how I feel about you as a person. I’m looking you in the eye. I don’t do this much because I don’t have Republican candidates on much who are asking me for their vote. You’re asking me for your vote right now, and I’m telling you that f’s with you, right? It just does in every conver. It just does, and that’s sad and unfortunate. It really is. I mean, I’m just being

Patrick Dyer 26:55
frank.

Nestor Aparicio 27:10
I just want to make sure that if I’m as a Latino with long hair, dragged out of Timonium and shot in the side of the head down at the end of by ice people, that you’re not going to pretend it didn’t happen. That like literally, literally, literally. That hasn’t happened once. It hasn’t happened twice. And that’s happening across this country. That sickens me. And I want to make sure I’m not electing that kind of person. That that that that’s what I’m saying. And I don’t want that to happen for you or for the county or for anyone for that to happen in East Baltimore, like literally, where my son lives in a 80% Hispanic community now. Yes, 100% So do I. Because my wife walks in the woods here. You know what I mean? Like literally. Because at the end of the day, sometimes you know it’s the one room in the apple. Last thing for you, because we’re here in Towson, Timonium. By the way, Pat Dyer is here, Republican candidate for Baltimore County Executive. You get a short one and a tall one, man. I can. This is this is summer and this is winter. Summer, winter. I think we got it. Towson, just in in a general sense, I don’t think the perception of crime and the town community and the mall and places close. You like mold, or you’re moving, you’re moving my mic over. And but in a general sense, Towson, because I’m a Towson business, Baltimore, WNST, Towson, Baltimore. I got to say that every hour for legal purposes. Reality, perception, wherever that is. If you’re opening a business, if you’re sending your kids to school, if you’re coming to the mall, the reality is the perception is the reality at that point. How do you change that as candidate executive?

Patrick Dyer 29:14
You doing that

Nestor Aparicio 29:21
now? Before, as a candidate, you can do that. Okay, good.

Patrick Dyer 29:23
So I’m going to get involved.

Nestor Aparicio 29:26
Any citizen can do that, right? I can do a rattle. Yeah. Okay. Good enough. Okay. Yeah, I didn’t. I didn’t. You know, it’s not something I’ve ever considered doing. But

Patrick Dyer 29:35
I’m going to put a full shift in. So

Nestor Aparicio 29:38
I needed some cops up in New York for the people that were talking during the Rush concert the other night. Yeah. Right on. Right on. Well, so you’re fundraising now. What can the community do for you other than both

Patrick Dyer 29:53
you? Com.

Nestor Aparicio 29:55
That’s it.

Patrick Dyer 29:58
Yard signs and bump.

Nestor Aparicio 30:02
Well, the one thing you did do, you know, the Republican thing. I don’t know that I’m going to have the streets up for you or Julian, by the way, who call me, but but nonetheless, this is Dundalk colors. You know this, right? Kelly Green and Gold.

Patrick Dyer 30:16
Well, Dundalk

Nestor Aparicio 30:17
is. I went to Dundalk, Ireland. I had proper Sunday roast there. I did. I met some beautiful people in Dundalk, Ireland. I’ve met some beautiful people in Dundalk, Maryland as well. But these aren’t Dundalk colors. I just want to say that. Friends at Pat Dog. That’s where they find

Patrick Dyer 30:32
them. Friends at PatDark.com. All

Nestor Aparicio 30:34
right, and you can find in Poolside over here at the Chakalas family. Checklist. Checklist. Chocolates. Sorry, checklist. Pete, Pete. Hi, Pete. Hi, Christina. A Republican nominee at Seminary Road Towson, summer casual attire. What will I wear? I’m casual every day of my life, dog. Patrick Dyer. He is. He is my friend from the Italian. So he’s not even Italian. He’s Irish. Republican for Baltimore County executive giving me all this good stuff. This would keep my air chilly at the next Merriweather concert. We’re here. By the way, you get number 35 from Mike Messina. We are doing the Ravens promotion or the new scratch-offs around. That is my favorite Raven Bird logo. The kiss face, the straight on. I love that. We’ve had some lucky people here. We’re kosis. We’re going to be at Koco’s on the 26th of August. We’re going to be at State Fair this month. We’re going to be at Fishmonger’s Daughter as well. We were Pizza Johns in Essex last week, as always. Take it out on the road. Our friends at GBMC, BC stands for Baltimore County as well. They sponsor us as well. And Farn and Dermer, Zach Dermer came by. They are the comfort guys. Luke and Alan are going to be here talking some baseball. We’re going to get off of politics, off of crime. Although the Orioles stole one on Wednesday in Detroit as well, they steal one. Speaking of crime, we might need a jail in Camden Yards. That’s city problem. But the Phillies fans are down this weekend as well, and we have the trading deadline. Hopefully, Michaelias can pull off a theft. I’m making crime the forefront of the issue here. I like that. And what I really want to know is if your Baltimore County executive, the criminal act that Bashadi and Sashi Brown pulled off on the citizens’ how much does that cost in Baltimore County? Do we know?

Patrick Dyer 32:08
It should be. It

Nestor Aparicio 32:14
should be. Sashi, call me. Come on and talk about the 25 million my county gave. How would you justify giving $25 million to Sashi Brown? You know the value of that franchise is going through the roof, so it’s a little bit a little bit tough to stomach. It’s funny you’d say that. I had Kurt Badenhausen on. Do you know Kurt Badenhausen? He is the famous guy that for the last 30 years, does the Forbes valuations of? I know your your money got that right. So that valuation you always see Forbes does the. He’s now at Sportico and he’s taken all of his evaluations to Sportico the last five years. I had him on this week, and he said with the sale of the Seattle Seahawks for 9.6 billion with a B, billion with a B, that the Ravens are now worth at least $8 billion. You know what they’re worth? The last time I talked to Kurt Badenhausen two years ago, no, he, no, no, no, no, no. He paid 575 million. No, so no, no, no. He, it was worth 5,000,000,003 years ago. It’s worth 8 billion. It’s going up a b a billion a year. It’s going up a billion a year. He paid half a billion for it. It’s going up a billion a year. That’s add the zeros. That three more zeros. You’re a money guy. Yeah. Oh, and he just he just hit you and me as the taxpayers over the head for literally food stamps. Food stamps. He he had us for food

Patrick Dyer 33:48
stamps. Literally. What do you think?

Nestor Aparicio 33:52
And he doesn’t live here, and he bans Hispanic reporters from coming in and asking questions about it, which I don’t like. So, but speaking of that, my my Caucasian employee of Pennsylvania, Luke Jones, will be in Owingsville’s covering all things Ravens, and it’s Raven season around here. We love the Ravens. Alan and Luke are here. We also love the Oriole. You bullish on the Orioles, or

Speaker 1 34:12
since day one.

Patrick Dyer 34:13
Yeah,

Nestor Aparicio 34:18
used to. You don’t anymore? Oh, all the time. Your county executive, you got to be Oriole fan. You got to took the light rail down. My

Patrick Dyer 34:24
family took the light rail down to Camden Yards. Right.

Nestor Aparicio 34:30
My last name’s Aparicio. I’m baseball guy, you know. But we got to get them winning. Pat Dyer’s here. He’s trying to win Baltimore County executive. You can find him at Friends with Pat Dyer. Republican offer open to Julian Jones. I’m sure Julian will stop by at some point, as will any other candidates. We’ll be doing some politics, but right now we can get back to some baseball. I am Nestor. We’re at Costas. We’re doing the Maryland Crab Cake Tour with friends Luke and Alan. Some baseball coming up next. Stay with
