captain and celeste

Big news this week as the legendary WBLM Morning Show announced that you can now listen to ANY WBLM Morning Show ON DEMAND. Were you too busy this morning to catch all the fun with the Captain and Celeste? Did you hear something fantastic and want t share it with a friend? No problem, hear the Captain and Celeste anytime that's convenient for you!

Celeste and I had a blast doing "Name That Tune" this week with Tico the Parrot. We found Tico and his human Frank on the interwebs and got a good giggle out of it. We were wondering how we were going to follow up our Name That Tune Bad Cover Bands Edition when we found Tico and the Man. We received a ton of requests this week to post all the songs that Tico sang for you this week on the WBLM Morning Show. Here's a recap:

Because of COVID, there were no Inauguration Balls last night in Washington, DC. Instead, there was a huge concert. And who else would you get to host an Inauguration Concert than Mr. Tom Hanks. A national treasure who should be protected at all costs, Tom did a marvelous job alone there on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. This was a pretty good show if you are a Blimp listener. Springsteen. Bon Jovi. Foo Fighters. Nice to see the rockers well represented! Performances came in from all over the country while Tom held things down at the National Mall. By night's end, he looked pretty cold. My guess is he is glad the nation's capital is not in Maine!

Celeste and I have made a New Year's Resolution. No, it's not more exercise or a dry January. It's not eating more healthy or spending more time with the family. Our resolution is a little different. Your WBLM morning show has pledged that in 2021, that whenever we play the Charlie Daniels Classic, "The Devil Went Down to Georgia", that we will immediately play "The Devil Went Down to Jamaica" immediately afterward.

Do you remember this classic Blimp TV commercial from 2005?

We were talking this week on the Blimp Morning Show about a guy who sold his original N64 Super Mario Brothers video game for over $100,000. What?!?! First, my mom gets rid of my priceless baseball card collection and now I'm told all those video games from 1985 that I threw out when I bought my Sega system are now WORTH SOMETHING. Arghhhhh! Anyway, Celeste got me over my mourning by playing classic rock songs in the style of classic video games.

Sometimes when you go to a concert the opener and the headliner just don't make any sense being on the same bill together. Like Jimi Hendrix opening for the Monkees. Yup, that happened. We found this phone call montage from our "Best Of The Captain and Celeste" WBLM Morning Show Archives. These are listeners calling in telling us the weirdest concert lineups they ever saw.

These days we just need a good laugh. Nothing heavy or with deep social meaning. Sometimes you just need to hear a filthy, filthy, dirty joke. And that's exactly what we did this morning. Now, the punchline is wayyyyy to dirty to say on the air so we had listeners call in to the studio to hear it. Then we edited out the punchline and played just the hilarious reactions from our listeners. We got HUNDREDS of calls.

The mission of Maine Cabin Masters is to remodel Maine cabins, have a great time doing it and to bring us along for the ride.

Ready for some fun and games? Log off that Zoom call and get ready for a Classic. It's Te WBLM Morning Show's Craigslist Price is Right, We found actual items from Maine's Craigslist and let Celeste take on audience members to see who could bid the closest to the actual retail price. Hilarity ensues. Check out today's items; a man who wants you to sit in a bathtub full of noodles. HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK HE WILL PAY YOU? Remember, closest without going over wins!

We had a ton of fun this past week on the WBLM Morning Show asking listeners about their Top 4 Classic Rock Artists of All Time We call it Rock Rushmore and you should tell us yours right now.

We've made some pretty kick-ass TV commercials over our 45-year history, but none more fun that one we ran with the "Rock You Live On" theme. The ad features the Captain and Celeste, AC/DC and a guy getting ready for work. Put that all together and you've what the Blimp is all about! Kudos to the brilliant and amazing Kurt Squiers (the Blimp's "AC/DC Guy") for dreaming this one up.

Morgan, The King of Maine Vanity Plates was back with us this morning. Morgan is the MAN when it comes to finding, curating and collecting the amazing array of vanity plates we have here in Maine. And he puts them all on his incredible Instagram page Vanity of Maine

The Captain and Celeste told the setup of a really dirty joke this morning. Listeners had to call in to get the punchline. Then we edited out the joke and just played the hilarious reactions from our listeners. We got HUNDREDS of calls and Tommy and Guru are STILL getting them!

Yesterday for a big day for High School Juniors across Maine. SAT Day! Yup, back in the day you didn't HAVE to take the test. But now it's a state-mandated thing. EVERY Junior takes the test. And that day was yesterday. This is a big deal...

Did you hear the story this week about the lady who did one of those DNA tests and found out that her real father was her parents' FERTILITY DOCTOR?! Wow, that's service above and beyond. Celeste wants to do some searching on her ancestry and just bought a DNA test kit off of Groupon. She got a real bargain on it too
