Captain and Celeste

The weird thing about the news these days is that whatever you read and believe is WRONG. It's true! Whatever fact or story I read about, there is someone saying the exact opposite. Therefore, I'm just always WRONG. How strange. Well, around WBLM we lean right into the strange and thought …

NESN's Tom Caron checked in with the WBLM Morning Show this morning. There is a LOT going on for New England Sports Fans. The last-place Red Sox are in the Bronx this weekend to play the first-place Yankees The Celtics are in the bubble in Orlando. The Pats have started training camp proper. A…

Celeste made her triumphant return to the Blimp Morning Show today and we promptly celebrated with a boozy and fun-filled WBLM Workplace Trivia....Maine's longest-running radio quiz game show. Today's topic:

What types of drunken behavior is associated with different types of booze?

We checked in this morning with the Pride of Lewiston High School...NESN's Tom Caron. There is a lot "pending" when it comes to sports these days. The Red Sox opening day is next Friday. The NFL rookies are supposed to show up at training camp on Monday but the NFL has given the playe…

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 m…

I found my twin this weekend. And guess what, we both have recently made Public Service Announcements to promote people to wear masks. What are the odds of that? When I did mine I wanted it to be a little bit understated. I wanted to make my points and not come off too preachy. I really do think peo…

I love it. Celeste does not. It's a ridiculous and fantastic version of Steve Miller's epic song, "The Joker." You know it and love it but you've never heard a version like this before. You know the wolf whistle sound after the line, "...some people call me Maurice....…

We love Mary and her crew. But it seems that someone else is trying to get into the act. Yup, she's found COUNTERFEIT TURDS out there. Whoever is selling this stuff is posing as the Tirdy Works crew but there's only one Tirdy Works! I was afraid of this. How can you tell what's real m…

OK, I'm going to say this right at the top. It is JARRING to see Rob Gronkowski, out former NeE England Patriot superstar, in a BUCS t-shirt. I don't think the "trade" was real to me until right now. He's really gone. Back with TB12. And hey, if I'm falling off my chai…

We're still sorting out the "box from Hell" and all of the (literally) hundreds of recipes that have accumulated over the last 40 years. An overdue project, yes, but the fun part still is discovering various index cards and crumpled paperwork and not having any idea whatsoever as to w…

You never know what you'll find going through the A to Z archives. This morning we were in the "C" Section of A to Z and came upon some Cosmic songs. "Cosmic Charlie" by the Grateful Dead. "Cosmik Debris" by Frank Zappa. Next to those albums was an old tape of the …

It's the most wooooonderful time of the year! A to Z on WBLM. The very first WBLM A to Z was in May of 1990. For the next few week's we will be playing the Blimp's legendary collection of Classic Rock in alphabetical order!

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 Archi…

The coronavirus pandemic has changed how Mainers live. What was totally normal just a few short months ago is now a long-cherished memory. Everything has changed. We asked Mainers this week to share the last "normal" photo on their phone. We had tons of replies. Most of these were sent in …

Something a little different this week in our weekly installment of "Best of Maine Vanity Plates." We've decided this week to pair up a vanity plate with a great classic rock song. All these plates come from the amazing Vanity of Maine Instagram page. If you're new to the concep…

Maine has another hit television sensation on its hands. Live from Somerville, Maine, it's Tirdy Works! And boy, is this show CRAPPY. No, literally. Tirdy Works follows Mary and her family as they try and make their novelty moose poop business come alive. Mary makes all kinds of crafty things f…
