We've got three months to go before we vote for a new governor. And subsequent to the big-party primaries in July, most Marylanders are thinking that they face a stark choice limited to Democratic and Republican candidates who represent the very best or the very worst of the two parties, depending on how you look at it. But there ARE other voices out there. In this podcast, Tim sits with two of the more interesting voices out there, 1) Jerome Segal, who is founder of Bread & Roses Socialism, ran for Governor in the Democratic primary, and is now running for President against Joe Biden, and 2) David Lashar, the Libertarian Party candidate for Maryland Governor this fall. It was a good coversation between three people with different political views but a common passion for civil debate on both general philosophy and specific issues.
We've entered election season with just slightly over three months until we vote for a new governor. We're a solid-blue state that does not shy away from electing moderate Republicans. So the two major parties generally suck the air out of the room, leaving little for other candidates. That means that we rarely get to hear new ideas and perspectives. Tim sat down a couple of days before the primaries to chat with two gubanatorial cadidates...Jerome Segal, a Socialist who ran on the Democratic ticket (and is now running for President of the United States) and David Lashar, a Libertarian who ran for Congress during the last election. It was a good conversation between three people with different perspectives on politics who may agree here and there.
This is a Crabcake from The Maryland Crabs! What is a Crabcake? Well, it's a very short snippet of something you need to know. It might be 5 minutes long..or it might be 20....we don't have any kind of plan. In any event, enjoy your Maryland Crabcake!
It's not the Christmas season until Paula Poundstone comes to Rams Head on Stage ! This year, she will be in town for two shows on December 18. Tim and Paula are now best friends (probably) since they chat around this time every year. This time, we covered surviving the COVID lockdown, kids and social media, Twitter, cats (which is de rigueur at this point), and the release of her new album, "Paula Goes to College (for one night only)." We also talk more about her hilarious weekly podcast, No One Listens to Paula Poundstone.

The transition to civilian life is not easy, and it can be daunting when considering a complete career change. Chow is a nonprofit designed to provide services for military veterans through cooking therapy, cookware donations, culinary education, and business advice for anyone from home chefs to aspiring food truck or restaurant owners. In this episode, Tim talks with Jordan Foley, a Naval Academy graduate, still on active duty, who founded Chow and completely eschews sleep.
When you are tired of Zoom podcasts and the weather is beautiful and there is a big picnic table outside--you get together in PERSON and record a beercast! This week, Cassie, Lauren and Bill from Katcef Brothers Inc. are in the flesh and we relish getting socially distant together! What's on tap this month? Football, seltzers and the warning that there will be peppermint and gingerbread flavored ones on the horizon (yuk). Bud Light Platinum now has a seltzer too along with an alcohol free Bud Zero. We also touch base on the Golden Goat Ultimate Bud Light Tailgate Giveaway. Details are right here and the odds are good! Despite the lack of events, there is a lot going on in the world of beer. And speaking of events--the Military Bowl tells us that they are planning to move forward so ... stay tuned!
Just because our local Oktoberfests have been cancelled along wth the real Oktoberfest is no reason that we can't start thinking about the delicious fall beers and the team at Katcef Brothers Inc teases us a little bit with a Spaten-Devils Backbone collaboration.
We also hit on Cutwater's international tequila award and marvel at how well Bud LIght Seltzer contines to do with the intro of three nw flavors--pineapple, cranberry, and grapefruit.
September 18th is Global Beer Responsibility Day and I am searching Hallmark for a card... but locally, you want to stay tuned to Eye On Annapolis and Katcef Brothers for a fun promotion this fall that could score you a wild tailgate party....when we can do that again! :( Enjoy and cheers!
Sing Second Sports popped on my radar about 2 months ago and after two episodes I was hooked! These guys have found a great way to dig deep into Navy Athletics. From football to baseball to basketball to water polo to intramural soccer. Academy grads, Ward Carroll and Chris Servello are joined by former USNA PAO John Schofield to bring it all to you with a fan's ardor and an insider's connection. We sit down, and talk about the podcast, the sports (had no idea there were THAT many), their past guests, and future hopefuls. Oh and we crystal ball the Navy Vs Notre Dame game scheduled for Labor Day weekend! LINKS:
Travis Pastrana never rests.
If he is not racing, jumping, building a stunt, or chasing down his two daughters, you can probably be sure he's working on something new. And we caught up with him to find out! Enter Circuit 199 in Sudlersville. It's a state of the art racing facility to train top drivers and to teach the new batch. It's a Progression Park where FMX, BMX, and skateboarders can hone their skills and take them to the next level. And it's a Pump Track and skills course to promote fitness to youth using the track for bicycles, skateboards, or scooters. And of course there is plenty of other entertainment planned as well. When Travis brought Nitro Circus here in 2017 it meant the world to him to finally perform at home. And now he wants to continue giving back to Maryland--his home. Circuit 199 could open as early as next spring, but the target is to be open by 2022. Have a listen and get excited! Links:
We hopped on the phone with the fine folks at Katcef Brothers to talk about summer drinks, lacrosse, and the scepter of a fall without college sports! And a head up on a fantastic promotion if the Navy-Notre Dame game is played here on Labor Day weekend!

Today, we continue our monthly series (no set schedule other than monthly) about beer. We have a huge distributor of beer right here in Annapolis--Katcef Brothers Inc. and they have a ton of experts on hand to de-mystify beer for us. Now, full disclosure--I like beer! I like beer a lot! But, I am not a beer snob and a Bud Light will suit me just fine.
The Orange Crush is a Maryland drink. But they have been hard to take out on the boat, or enjoy in the back yard--until now. This month, Bobby Rohla from Devils Backbone joins us to talk about the distilling end of Devil's Backbone and specifically the Orange Smash--perfect for tossing in the cooler this summer. And like last month, we have some incredible rebates for you! See below!
