Captain and Celeste

One of our favorite things to do is read the Missed Connections thread on Craigslist. We're guessing there a not a ton of Missed Connections out there right now in Maine as there are pretty much NO connections anywhere. So we dug back into the Blimp archives for this classic "Best Of" moment from 2017

With all the free time we have from being quarantined these days, it's giving us an opportunity to go through the Blimp Morning Show archives to find some of our best memories and interviews. At the top of that list is our interview with Steve Perry we did back in 2018. This was Steve's first radio interview in YEARS.

We know it's all mixed up out there right now. it certainly is on the WBLM Morning Show. The Captain's live from his bedroom. Celeste is in the cockpit at One City Center. Our usual Workplace Trivia game is on hiatus for a while. But never fear- you can relive a great WOrkplce Trivia Moment right here. Hey, if nothing else it will kill a few minutes in between attempting to take care of the kids and holding down a job all at the same time!

We hope you are doing ok with spending more time at home. In honor of the current situation, we found some Maine vanity license plates that really resonated with us. Remember, in Maine, you can put whatever you want on your license plate, as long as you can do it in seven characters or less. Vanity of Maine is the greatest site for finding the good, bad, ugly and downright profane of Maine Vanity Plates

It's amazing how people are adapting to the "social distancing" thing. My kids are wicked close to their grandparents, and while we are doing a lot of video conferencing with them right now, my girls took it to the next level this weekend when "Yaya" and "Papa did a quick drive-by to our place. Olivia and Emma were ready, and surprised their grandparents with a song and dance!

Our pal, Tom Caron has packed his bags and returned from the canceled Red Sox Spring Training in Florida. He joined the Captain and Celeste to give his opinion on why Tom Brady left the Pats. And why the Pats really didn't go after Tom very hard. It's a great interview.

We checked in with NESN's Tom Caron today who was live with the Red Sox in what is now a canceled Spring Training. Tom gave us some great insight on how weird it is to be at Spring Training with the Coronavirus situation and what he will do next with no sports of any kind to cover or watch!

Today, we were mesmerized and inspired by a woman in Virginia who just set the record for the largest collection of beaver memorabilia known to the world. We thought we would ask Mike working in Alfred some questions about strange Guinness World Records. Mike knew his stuff and won tickets to see Brit Floyd in Bangor next month. Why don't you take a whack at the questions:

The world is a dangerous place. It seems there's trouble around every corner. And today the WBLM Morning Show proved that very premise by asking Jason and his girlfriend Tanya about everyday things that can kill you.

What is it with us crazy Mainers? We seem like a pretty mellow bunch. Not flashy. We mind our own business. We are friendly but not overfriendly. We share but we don't overshare. EXCEPT, for some reason when it comes to our license plates. Then we let our freak flags fly and tell the world literally everything about us and our beliefs. I mean, WOW. And the King of Maine Vanity Plates,

Number 21 in your program but number 1 in your heart, the great Conner Bleackley from your Maine Mariners was our super-special guest star this morning on WBLM Workplace Trivia. Conner teamed up with Carl, who is a General Contractor to tackle one of the craziest potpourri rounds of trivia we've ever assembled.

It's not just Two for Tuesday on the Blimp....it's a SUPER Two for Tuesday. Primary Day in Maine. There are primaries for both parties today plus some important referendum questions too, so go vote! It's pretty cool that Maine gets to be part of Super Tuesday-we haven't had a primary here in 20 years

We want to thank the fabulous Celeste for her research this weekend on the extinct animals of Maine. It made for a good round for today's WBLM Workplace Trivia. Tune in all this week because we have tickets to see Santana with Earth Wind and Fire at Xfinity Center this August.

Many thanks to Natalie Tobey, the Marketing Director for the Maine Mariners for being our super-special guest host this morning for WBLM Workplace Trivia. While she wanted us to ask questions about boy bands and the Golden Girls, we instead had these questions for our contestant, Mike, from Camden:

Today's topic on today's Workplace Trivia was "Celebrities Who Are Related." The Morning Show did some anthropological....or astronomy....or some sort of sciency thing to figure out if these celebrities are related.

Vanity of Maine has the greatest collection of Maine vanity plates in the World. Kudos to Morgan and his team for curting this incredible Instagram account. Mainers can and DO say anything on their vanity plates. Here are some of the best from the past few weeks.
