Since Gale and Mitch's second marriage is, let's face it, fake, they've thrown a ceremony together in a matter of days. They're also throwing Dawson and Joey together, because Gale -- (a) an adult woman who (b) works with one of Dawson's other very close friends -- has asked Joey to be her Maid Of Honor, meaning she and Best Man Dawson keep seeing each other on various nuptial errands. Even Dawson, however, is having an increasingly difficult time pretending that Joey wouldn't rather be elsewhere, particularly once she finds out about Pacey's plan to spend the summer sailing to Key West on the True Love. She's still so oppressed by her supposedly beautiful friendship with Dawson that she won't admit what she really wants. Will Pacey's choice to paint "ASK ME TO STAY" on the wall he rented for her change her mind? Jen is still pouting so much about Henry daring to go to football camp that Grams gets sick of it, throws Jen in the car with the McPhees, and hits the road to try to run down his bus so Jen can get over herself and kiss Henry before he goes to Ohio. It's a good start, but isn't Grams's other boarder Jack also carrying a torch for someone who might want a smooch from him...? It's no lie: we made all our sweethearts (you) a new episode about "True Love"! JOIN THE AWT CLUB

Firstly, Happy Birthday to Clayton, Sam's son, who is celebrating his second birthday! It's crazy how time flies! We will be discussing our third novel from Katherine Center called The Love Hater!  About The Novel: Katie Vaughn has been burned by love in the past—now she may be lighting her career on fire. She has two choices: wait to get laid off from her job as a video producer or, at her coworker Cole's request, take a career-making gig profiling Tom “Hutch” Hutcheson, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer in Key West. The catch? Katie's not exactly qualified. She can't swim, but fakes it that she can. Plus: Cole is Hutch's brother. And they don't get along. Next stop paradise! But paradise is messier than it seems. As Katie gets entangled with Hutch (the most scientifically good looking man she has ever seen . . . but also a bit of a love hater), along with his colorful Aunt Rue and his rescue Great Dane, she gets trapped in a lie. Or two. Swim lessons, helicopter flights, conga lines, drinking contests, hurricanes, and stolen kisses ensue—along with chances to tell the truth, to face old fears, and to be truly brave at last.   Wanna Check Out Our Other Socials: click here!

Send us a textDawn breaks over Tampa's shrimp docks as Chef Thomas Parker begins a culinary odyssey that will fundamentally transform how he approaches his craft. This powerful journey, captured in Walk- In Talk Media's debut mini-documentary, takes us beyond the polished restaurant plates to the weathered hands that first touch our food.At the docks, we meet shrimper, “Morris Gump”, a character straight from central casting whose stories of 45-day fishing expeditions yielding just $1,300 reveal the harsh realities behind commercial fishing. "Can you imagine what kind of turmoil you go through internally on a boat?" host Carl Fiadini asks, highlighting the mental and physical challenges these essential workers face daily. These moments of raw humanity give viewers rare insight into the true cost of seafood.As Chef Parker moves from the docks to blueberry farms and local markets, he reconnects with what he calls "the lost art" of being a chef—personally selecting ingredients and building relationships with producers. His enthusiasm becomes palpable when foraging for Florida's freshest offerings, culminating in an innovative dish combining Key West pink shrimp, Florida blueberries, and sweet corn. The unexpected pairing showcases Parker's technical prowess through a blueberry harissa glaze and a remarkable poached shrimp and corn cake that demonstrates how deeply understanding ingredients elevates creativity.What makes this documentary particularly compelling is its authentic, unscripted approach. Even when torrential rain threatened filming, the team embraced the elements—just as farmers and fishermen do daily. "You think the shrimpers or farmers stop because it's raining outside? Heck no," Parker remarks. This resilience permeates the film, adding character and emotional depth that perfectly captures the spirit of those who feed us.Ready to explore the hidden connections between your plate and the passionate people behind each ingredient?

We recorded this a week ago before the Cavaliers/Pacers series began and what did Box tell you? That the Pacers were not to be slept on. You need to know, this show is dope, and that Box knows ball! The Ohio Senate unanimously voted to regulate sales of Delta 8 cannabinoid products so they can no longer be purchased by anyone Shedeur Sanders seems ready to make his mark in the Browns which leads into us taking a good hard look at the Browns QB situation. Box got the kittens fixed, but not without some adventure. Tee's youngest is slowly but surely wrapping up High School. He also had his own adventures in pre-ordering the Nintendo Switch 2 (along with most of the internet). Via our Bake-Off show Tee is but a bacon strip or two away from fame. That discussion randomly led to us deeply interrogating the idea of 100 Men vs. 1 Gorilla and dudes egos making them think they are better than they are. Tee wants to go to Key West for his birthday. Will it happen? Maybe! We then head to Reddit for the week's AITA which oddly enough includes Tee's reviews of a couple of local restaurants as it relates to one of the AITA's we discussed. Word to Victoria's Bakery in Chesterland, OH. We then wrap it up with our entertainment recommendations for the week.

Joe List and Tom Dustin both started out as Boston-area comedians more than 20 years ago. They quickly became friends, drinking buddies and roommates, with a shared dream of moving to New York City to pursue comedy greatness. List followed through on the dream. He got sober, scored a slew of TV appearances and standup specials, and started a thriving podcast, Tuesdays With Stories, with his friend and fellow comedian Mark Normand. He's also just directed his first film — a documentary — about his old friend. Tom Dustin: Portrait of a Comedian tracks Dustin's decision to keep drinking, and to relocate to Key West, Florida. He runs a comedy club where he does what he loves and regularly kills with audiences — but outside of the mainstream. He sometimes struggles financially, and wonders if quitting booze would be good for his mental health. We talked with Joe List for the MovieMaker podcast about Tom Dustin, YouTube vs. theaters, and how you can be an offensive comedian and good liberal at the same time. Photo by Matthew Salacuse.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Michael Blouin about his poetry collection, Hard Electric (Anvil Press, 2024). Hard Electric is Michael Blouin's third book of poetry, a road-tripping, bridge-burning collection of the author's hard-won and soft-edged reflections that seem to stutter-step towards resolution while tumbling down a decided slant towards disaster. “Where Does My Heart Beat Now” was Celine Dion's first North American hit and in it she asks: ‘Where do all the lonely hearts go?' In Hard Electric Blouin presents a bleakly unsettling but ultimately life-affirming treatise that hints at his fascination with the same question and perhaps shuffles into the neighbourhood of an answer. That neighbourhood is peopled with late-night bars of Key West's Duval Street, the sharp spice of BBQ joints, sunburned beach motels, and Christmas lights frozen to February trees. And Susan Sarandon's cousin. It's a book not for the faint of heart, but for the lonely-hearted, and for those who know them well. About Michael Blouin: Michael Blouin has been a finalist for the Amazon First Novel Award, the bpNichol Award, and the CBC Literary Award. He has been the recipient of the Lilian I. Found Award, the Diana Brebner Award and the Archibald Lampman Award from ARC Magazine. His novel Chase and Haven won the ReLit Award for Best Novel, an award he received again for his novel Skin House. He is an Instructor at the University of Toronto, a guest lecturer for Carleton University, and has served as an adjudicator for both the Ontario Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts. Two of his novels are now in a permanent archive on the Moon having landed with NASA in 2024. His collected poetry “Hard Electric” is slated to land at the lunar South Pole later in 2025. About Hollay Ghadery: Hollay Ghadery is an Iranian-Canadian multi-genre writer living in Ontario on Anishinaabe land. She has her MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Guelph. Fuse, her memoir of mixed-race identity and mental health, was released by Guernica Editions in 2021 and won the 2023 Canadian Bookclub Award for Nonfiction/Memoir. Her collection of poetry, Rebellion Box was released by Radiant Press in 2023, and her collection of short fiction, Widow Fantasies, was released with Gordon Hill Press in fall 2024. Her debut novel, The Unraveling of Ou, is due out with Palimpsest Press in 2026, and her children's book, Being with the Birds, with Guernica Editions in 2027.

n this episode, Mark Baratto sits down with Kevin Redding to talk about "Fighting for Laughs," a charity comedy show happening on July 5th, 2025, at the Key West Theater. Kevin shares how the idea for the event came about, the incredible lineup of comedians involved — including Tony Woods, Chuck Nice, "The Reverend" Bob Levy, and Preston Gitlin — and how the show will benefit the veteran nonprofit organization A HERO. Hosted by local Key West native and veteran Petey Rancel, this one-night-only event is all about giving back to those who have served, while bringing the community together for a night of laughter and support. Kevin also talks about the behind-the-scenes efforts it took to organize the event, the sponsors who stepped up, and why Key West was the perfect place to make it all happen.

In the 92nd episode of WGI Unleashed, we're excited to introduce you to Jason Miholovitz, PLA, our Director of Landscape Architecture, who joins us from WGI's West Palm Beach Corporate Headquarters! With over 20 years of experience, Jason's deep passion for design and a thoughtful leadership style have helped shape WGI's national landscape architecture practice, and his story is just as inspiring as the spaces he helps create each and every day. From Sketches to Studios Like many, Jason's love for design started at an early age - Inspired by his high school drafting classes and a natural talent for drawing, he pursued the study of architecture at the University of Florida, where he ultimately refined his interests and discovered his passion for landscape architecture. After graduation, a job fair frisbee - and a well-timed beer koozie - led him to his first role within the industry.... And the rest, as they say, is history. The chance encounter sparked a 10-year career with his first firm, where he met his wife, built a foundation in public-sector work, and eventually launched his current career with WGI. Designing for Both People and Place Today, Jason leads five landscape architecture studios across the nation, each with its own unique identity and design approach. Under his guidance, the group blends the best of both worlds - public and private sector work - offering clients a depth of experience that they can't find elsewhere. From vibrant parks and public spaces to amenity-rich pool decks atop high-rises, Jason's portfolio of projects reflects his belief that landscape architecture is about more than aesthetics - it's about creating a sense of space that people can love. His favorite part of the career that has brought him so much? Visiting parks he's helped design and watching his son enjoy the very spaces he's helped bring to life. A Culture of Creativity and Trust And if you're wondering what keeps Jason inspired at WGI, that's simple.... It's the people - and the freedom to lead with trust. He's proud of the collaborative, cross-functional environment he's helped foster, where each studio operates like its own small business, giving team members room to grow, experiment, and shape their own paths. That same autonomy Jason values in his own role is what he now passes down to his team. It's a leadership philosophy rooted in respect, accountability, and empowering others to take creative risks. Life Outside the Office When not leading national design studios, Jason enjoys staying close to home with his wife and son. He's a hands-on DIYer, working on home projects and restoring classic cars - including a ‘69 Camaro passed down from his father. And while he's traded the college party scene for backyard soccer and family trips to Key West, Jason wouldn't have it any other way. Tune In This episode is filled with great stories—from childhood bike rides in South Florida to building a nationwide team of talented designers.

This week I'm flying solo while Keith is out on the water but I've got your next birthday covered.

Eli Pancamo's living room, now a makeshift office, is a polemical museum dedicated to counterculture. Works from artists like Erik Foss, Captain Outrageous and Bast hang with a story behind each piece. To his right, a pinball machine from Key West’s Star Roller Rink backs up to the late Shel Silverstein’s piano—something Pancamo taught himself to play over the past several months. His surroundings are a symbolic reflection to the juxtaposition of his psyche—both as an artist and intellectualist. During his rise as a notable restauranteur in Key West, Eli avoided the meritocratic path to success. His natural tendency is the road less traveled, where every failure and success are utilized as creative fuel. So it came as no surprise when he privately shared with me he was dabbling in AI (or Artificial Intelligence) and invited me over to showcase a platform he believes can change the world.

JB White returns from his first-ever trip to Key West recharged and ready to rip into the headlines on this lively episode of The RattlerGator Report. After a warm tribute to his Florida roots and his hosts in the iconic Bahama Village, JB pivots hard into the global chessboard, breaking down the Trump administration's high-stakes economic strategy. He highlights the latest media hand-wringing over Trump's tariff rollout, dissecting mainstream confusion while celebrating the brilliance of what he calls “Big Daddy's global maneuver.” JB showcases the role of Trump's trusted lieutenants, including Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnick, in building a multi-front pressure campaign on China, and explains why the strategy is working exactly as intended. He also discusses the brilliance of assigning different messengers to push distinct narratives, all leading toward Trump's ultimate trade realignment. The show crescendos with a deep dive into Steve Davis, Elon Musk's behind-the-scenes efficiency expert now embedded in Trump's shadow government via DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency). JB unpacks Davis's no-frills, results-driven leadership style, his embedded task forces across federal agencies, and why he may be the secret weapon behind the regime's unraveling. Sprinkled with humor, sharp analysis, and Florida flavor, this episode blends JB's personal reflections with big-picture geopolitical strategy, showcasing both the heart and the intellect that define The RattlerGator Report.

The Boaters' Rights Advocacy Coalition is a group of dedicated boaters associations representing more than 20,000 members committed to advocating for the rights of all active cruisers and boaters. Our mission is to ensure safe, equitable, and sustainable access to our public waterways. Here's how you can help protect anchoring on Florida's waterways:Contribute to our Advocacy Fund. This fund helps pay our lobbyist in Florida. Without professional representation, we don't have a seat a the table. Contact the members of Florida's Senate Fiscal Policy Committee:We are concerned that Senate Bill 594 will be added to the agenda for the Senate Fiscal Policy Committee the week of 4/14/2025. SB 594 could ban anchoring within 2,500 feet of Florida's Seaports and is purported to be a security measure, but there is no evidence of a security threat needing mitigation. Please email or call the Senators on the committee (see below) as soon as possible and share why you oppose the bill. Below some specific points regarding this bill for your use when calling or emailing. Please choose a few and tailor them to make your own.State Parks near several ports -- including the Ports of Everglades, Panama City, Fernandina, Fort Pierce, Pensacola, Key West, Tampa -- where anchoring is currently enjoyed are within the potential no-anchoring zones created by this bill.Common recreational anchoring areas are negatively affected in this bill. Fernandina, Port Canaveral, Ft Pierce, Lake Worth, Miami and Key West will lose much or all of their anchoring area.The setback is excessive, and is not supported by historical events or the water depths which are 10ft or less in some of the areas the bill would make off limits, making the ideal areas for us to anchor but not useable by cargo or cruise shipsPort security concerns are not highlighted in publicly available minutes from meetings of the Ports Council, Port of Palm Beach, and Port of Miami.Generally, federal law controls the regulation of navigation, seaport security and other aspects of admiralty law in and upon the navigable waters of the United States. The U.S. Supreme Court has consistently determined that federal supremacy principles mandate that federal law preempts state and local government efforts to impose conditions on port entry that federal laws already cover. Federal law allows a state to regulate its ports and waterways, as long as the regulation is based on the peculiarities of local waters that call for special precautionary measures. We believe these waters do not call for special precautionary measures, and the state of Florida lacks jurisdiction in this matter. There is substantial case law that supports this assertion.The US Coast Guard (USCG) is the lead federal agency for maritime security and the primary enforcer of security zones around seaport facilities and vessels not the Florida Wildlife and Conservation Commission. The USCG issues security zone orders, conducts patrols and inspections, coordinates with other agencies and stakeholders, and responds to incidents and emergencies within security zones.General Guidelines on Contacting Legislators:Email or phone are the best ways to reach a legislator. Letters are second best, but in our electronic world today everyone uses computers.Timing is very important. Don't delay your email until after the bill has been passed. HB 481 will be heard in committee onWednesday aftermoon.Be polite and professional. Profanity will not help no matter how frustrated you may be.Address the email/letter as ‘Dear Senator xxx' and ‘Dear Representative xxx'.Limit your message to 200 words or so. Long emails don't get the point across. Three paragraphs are a reasonable limit for emails and letters.If not a Florida resident, identify yourself as cruiser/tourist from ________ state. Emails from citizens of other states are also effective because a large segment of Florida's economy is based on tourism.Form letters are routinely ignored except they are simply tallied up. They represent the viewpoint of one individual, no matter how many times they are transmitted. Please take the time to put the “talking points” we've provided into your own words.Work very hard to avoid misspellings, grammatical errors and skipped words in your document. These are easy to spot, and may cause the reader to misunderstand what you are saying or skip reading your email entirely.Here are the committee members to contact:Last NameFirst NameCapitol PhoneEmail AddressGrutersJoe(850) 487-5022gruters.joe.web@flsenate.govOsgoodRosalind(850) 487-5032osgood.rosalind.web@flsenate.govArringtonKristen(850) 487-5025arrington.kristen.web@flsenate.govAvilaBryan(850) 487-5039Avila.Bryan.web@flsenate.govBernardMack(850) 487-5024bernard.mack.web@flsenate.govBoydJim(850) 487-5020boyd.jim.web@flsenate.govBradleyJennifer(850) 487-5006bradley.jennifer.web@flsenate.govBurtonColleen(850) 487-5012Burton.Colleen.web@flsenate.govCalatayudAlexis(850) 487-5038Calatayud.Alexis.web@flsenate.govDavisTracie(850) 487-5005Davis.Tracie.web@flsenate.govGaetzDon(850) 487-5001gaetz.don.web@flsenate.govIngogliaBlaise(850) 487-5011ingoglia.blaise.web@flsenate.govJonesShevrin ''Shev''(850) 487-5034jones.shevrin.web@flsenate.govLeekTom(850) 487-5007leek.tom.web@flsenate.govPassidomoKathleen(850) 487-5028passidomo.kathleen.web@flsenate.govRodriguezAna Maria(850) 487-5040rodriguez.anamaria.web@flsenate.govSimonCorey(850) 487-5003simon.corey.web@flsenate.govTruenowKeith(850) 487-5013truenow.keith.web@flsenate.govYarboroughClay(850) 487-5004Yarborough.Clay.web@flsenate.gov

Wherein I engage in a pre-Milton Diesel Scavenger Hunt™, suffer an unpleasant evening, and finally run out of a critical item. Show Notes I don't really have many—okay, any—photos from this episode, since I was, first of all, running around Venice and Sarasota like a madman, trying to find diesel and something to put it in; and after that it was as very long night and following morning. New for Patrons: Original Episode Scripts and Notes! Just FYI, I am now adding another perk for Patrons: Scripts from my wacky and detailed episode prep. (Okay, fine. Maybe it's more like sadism. But hey, some folks seem to like it. The scripts, I mean.) Episode 66 involved many iterations, so I decided I should upload the salient bits to Patreon. Where I noticed there's now a “Collections” area. So I thought to my alleged self, “Self, we should make a Scripts collection here!” And that's exactly what I'm doing. I also uploaded scripts for Eps. 1, 5, and 6 (they will bubble up over the next few days), and aim to upload as many of the prior scripts as are available..as well as future ones…along with my various scribblings, comments, and edit/mix notes. If you wanna join the Patreon Crew, HERE'S THE LINK. In case yer not into the Patreon thing, I'll also be making the “Scripts” collection available separately for purchase by curious HowNotToSailers for about the price of an adult beverage, once I get enough of 'em in the Collection. (Hey, it ain't cheap owning a floating saltwater collector!) What could possibly go wrong? The Lees Are Killing Me (Check out Sondra's blog!) I mean, in a good way. LOL. No, seriously…Jimmy and Sondra have been doing exactly what I want to be doing—namely, cruising! You may remember the Lees and s/v Utopia from Episode 34, “Not Always Utopia”…which is actually still one of the best podcast episodes. They have been “well seasoned” and have planned, prepared and sacrificed to get to this point, and I couldn't be happier for them. Well played!!! If you want to see what awesome things they're up to (or returning from) now (think “Bahamas”) just check out their blog, In The Lee.
