Rosemary was away one more time, so Mari Segura filled in again. Bill seemed to think their three to three maxing out the trivia contest was the first time he'd seen that result. His memory is not the greatest, though, so do not bet on that being so.

Rosemary was away, so Rachael Shelton took her place. She had interesting insights she has learned in law school to share. Copyright laws are not simple. Bill longed for those "bright line" divisions, but understood that is not practical.

Jaime Smith gave up some of his secrets for making really healthy food that closely mimics less healthy and wonderful tasting foods, like alfredo sauce.

Rosemary and Bill were on a mission, so Mari Segura and Michael Olson took the show for this day.

Dr. Pete discussed overbites and underbites in dogs, as well as what to do with a pet who is a picky eater.

Alex and Rosemary had the same two picks for the week's best movies. They are The New Boy and Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning.

Charlie Keutman let us know we are probably past the end of our rainy season, so drip irrigation was the topic of the day.

Rob Darrow and Kurt Keyer of Santa Cruz Pride joined us in the studio to talk about the upcoming parade, as well as too many other events to list here. Find them all listed at their online events page.

Gary Shapiro let us know why he prefers Blue Rays to streaming, described The Godfather as perhaps a perfect movie, and did a quite passable impersonation of the lady who ran the Capitola Theater down in the village long ago. If you're thinking there is no theater in Capitola village, you are right, but there once was.

Jamie Smith taught us the proper marks to make when barbecuing chicken, and talked about recipes for barbecue sauce. Also there was some mention of a cupcake made of meatloaf and mashed potatoes, but that came from Rosemary.

Gary Shapiro had some interesting details about Desi Arnez and Lucille Ball, as well as his usual discussion of books he's read recently and authors he has interviewed.

Jeff Manke said crows are really smart. If you mistreat one they will remember your face. Ravens are not the same. He also said he made a recent trip to southern California where he went birding in eight counties, and saw 200 species, including one for the first time, the gull-billed tern. He described some quite fascinating imitation done by another species he saw, the zone-tailed hawk.

We are very proud of Rachael Shelton. She has got results back from her most challenging test so far in her pursuit of a law degree, and she did great. She joined us in the studio today to talk about that, and more.

After beating Bill up in trivia last week, Rosemary started doing the same this week.

BrienG joined us to talk sports.

Gail Perllerin weighed in on Justin Cummings being cut from the coastal commission, her work on the budget, the worth of holding festivals and other events, and fire preparedness.

Mark Mozena had several interesting topics for us.

Bill learned how to pronounce wiemaraner, but has already since forgotton.

Dr. Pete let us know what to do if we believe a dog has eaten something poisonous. Dogs and cats can also have injuries inside their mouth, and often the cause is a foxtail. We also discussed snakebites.

Movies this week were pretty bad. Rosemary could only stomach one, the documentary film Deaf President Now. Alex had three picks all together, that one and Final Destination Bloodlines, as well as Sister Midnight.

Jim Coffis let us know all about the upcoming Redwood Mountain Faire.

Christopher Brant, a librarian at the Watsonville library, told us about the upcoming Santa Cruz County History Fair, May 17.

Simon Hayward, of Mountain Community Theater, told us of the play that will be performed. It is The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time.

Assembly Member Dawn Addis was once again concerned about the Battery Energy Storage System at Moss landing. She also is passionate about early childhood education.
