In this episode of The Exit Whisperer, we sit down with Ali von Paris, founder of Route One Apparel, a Maryland-themed clothing company that went from a viral college T-shirt idea to a self-funded powerhouse.

“I'm an extreme version, but the water is my life. It's where I live. It's what I do to work out. It's where I go to think. So it solves pretty much all aspects of my life of what keeps me motivated, keeps me fit, keeps me well minded. And I think naturally, most people would say the water has some special power of connecting and making someone feel good.” We're in great company with Brian Meyer, the Co-Founder and CEO of FLOHOM, a collection of immersive waterfront experiences for vacationers and staycationers alike to enjoy the comforts of elevated hospitality while docked in the lively harbors of Baltimore, Annapolis and Washington, DC. Whether you are seeking to submerge in relaxing and refreshing accommodations, or in search of a jumping off point for exploration and adventure, FLOHOM welcomes you aboard their floating homes and into their community of water-loving wanderers.  In this episode, Brian shares how a life spent on the water embracing the change in tides, has led him to not only pursue his own dream of waterfront living, but to make this dream a reality for all those looking for our home away from shore.   Top Takeaways [2:00] Brian was a fish out of water as a child growing up on the Eastern Shore of Maryland - always looking for a reason to waterski, wakeboard or surf - which led him to go to school in Hawaii where he was introduced to outrigger canoes - before returning home to start a community around paddleboarding, Capital SUP.  [7:30] Recognizing the impact these social watersports had on the local community, Brian then started the Live Water Foundation to give Veterans, people with disabilities, and underserved youth a chance to enjoy this lifestyle, ensuring the local waterways were protected with clean water initiatives.  [10:15] When Brian went to look for a waterfront home himself, he quickly learned his budget was well below the price for these types of properties, until he began to conceptualize FLOHOM with the mission to make waterfront living accessible, sustainable, and affordable. [20:00] A stay in a FLOHOM floating suite goes beyond the spacious views and luxurious amenities, with Voyager Guides and bespoke services for guests to experience all that these harbor towns have to offer right off the dock.  [32:30] The future for FLOHOM is a lifestyle brand on the water, from privately owned floating suites to entire marina resorts to an international waterfront footprint.  Notable Mentions Capital SUP Live Water Foundation  Jungalow by Justina Blakeney HostGPO and Minoan marketplaces Outer outdoor furniture  Old Bay seasoning  Hydrofoil surfboards  Visit For Yourself FLOHOM Website | @flohom_ofc @_brianmeyer  Stay In Good Company Website

Join us on a nostalgic journey to the sun-baked shores of the Chesapeake Bay, where memories of summers past come alive with each taste of Maryland Crab Stew. Inspired by lazy days spent 'sittin' on the dock of the bay, watching the crabs roll away,' Tony and his siblings would venture to a nearby inlet, eager to 'catch a mess of crabs, hon.' Seafood, especially the delicate flavor of crab, demands a delicate touch. It's an orchestration of Old Bay proportions to transform these sea creatures into a pot of pure deliciousness. Discover the nuances between blue crabs and blue swimming crabs, and experience the tantalizing aroma of crab, cream, corn, scallops, shrimp, and a blend of Old Bay spices, accentuated by the freshness of tarragon. Learn the art of identifying male from female crabs, and why it's essential to throw females back into the water. With expert tips on cleaning and enjoying this Maryland delicacy, you'll be transported to the bay's edge, where the buzz of crickets mingles with the warmth of a summer breeze with each spoonful. Perfect for summer or winter, this stew has the power to warm even the furthest, most neglected reaches of your heart. Tune in and let the flavors of Maryland Crab Stew ignite your senses and stir fond memories of days gone by.

Studies have shown that cicadas contain more protein than pork and eggs, with low levels of fat and elevated levels of healthy fats like polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), according to the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension. How To Find, Prepare and Store Cicadas Finding cicadas requires patience and observation. They are typically found in areas with abundant vegetation, and their emergence can be observed around and after sunset. Nymphs, teneral cicadas, and mature adults can all be found during different stages of their life cycle Before harvesting cicadas, it's crucial to consider safety measures to avoid contamination and ensure freshness. Cicadas can be stored in the freezer for up to a year, and they should be de-winged and blanched before cooking to remove any dirt or pathogens.

Clean off excess dirt with a damp towel or give mushrooms a quick rinse and dry. Cut bigger mushrooms into similar-sized pieces. Don't cut them thin as they will shrink up while cooking. Meaty thick pieces cook best! Give Them Some Room: Don't overcrowd your sauté pan, you need plenty of room for a good sear. High Heat: Turn the heat up to medium-high and allow time for your oil/butter to get hot before adding the mushrooms. Look for the shimmer of the oil. Keeping the heat up will help moisture evaporate quickly giving you a beautifully caramelized mushroom. If mushrooms are giving off lots of moisture keep the heat going until it's gone. Over washing will contribute to the added moisture. The term “sauté” means high heat …little oil.  Let's Do This : Clean and slice mushrooms into similar size pieces. Don't cut them too thin, as they will shrink while cooking. Heat oil and butter in a medium to large pan over medium-high heat. Look for the oil to shimmer before adding the mushrooms. Add mushrooms and toss in the oil quickly. Cook mushroom for 3-5 minutes. Stir and allow mushrooms to finish cooking for a couple more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Large mushrooms can take a little extra time.  Deglaze and Season: After a good sauté you'll notice some bits of the mushroom clinging to the bottom of your pan. There's a whole lot of flavor there that can be infused back in by a simple deglaze. To capture the flavor add a splash of liquid at the end of the cooking process and stir it all up. Simply, add a few tablespoons of water, wine, stock, cream, or sherry to the pan after the mushrooms are done cooking. Keep the temperature up and stir until the liquid evaporates.   For Added Flavor:  Use garlic and herbs. Turn heat down to medium-low and add last minute of cooking. Wonderful herbs to try are thyme, parsley, and rosemary.  Fresh lemon and or lime To Make Ahead: Mushrooms can be sauteed ahead of time and stored covered in the fridge for 3-4 day. Reheat in a skillet until warm. To Freeze: Freezing may change the texture of sauteed mushrooms. After cooking, freeze mushrooms flat on a cookie sheet. Once completely frozen transfer to a freezer-safe container. Thaw and reheat in a pan over medium heat. Deglaze: Add a few tablespoons of water, wine, stock, cream, or sherry to the pan after the mushrooms are done cooking. Keep the temperature up and stir until the liquid evaporates.

You can always find three things in Baltimore: Natty Boh beer, Old Bay seasoning & ludicrous "justice." In this week's podcast, Serge and Clarke discuss the case of Baltimore Police Sergeant Marlon Koushall whose videotaped conduct during a late night arrest were simultaneously deemed completely consistent with the rules, policies, procedures and training of the Baltimore Police Department AND a crime of misdemeanor assault and misconduct in office. The Baltimore Police Department exonerated the officer; the Office of the State's Attorney successfully prosecuted the officer. Listen to this episode to find out Koushall's status and the status of the former Baltimore City State's Attorney who approved Koushall's prosecution. Karma -- as they say -- is a bitch.

In hour three, we celebrate the anniversary of Solana "chugging" a seltzer. Hoch has a PSA regarding Paul Maurice that he has to get off his chest. Then, Rob Pizzola joins the show to explain why he's not counting out his Leafs, how to intelligently bet the Heat to win the title and dips his toe into the Old Bay debate. 

A fiery debate is sparked by a story that Old Bay flavored Goldfish are returning to stores - Crowder claimed only white people use Old Bay Seasoning. He learned throughout the course of the show he was wrong thanks to several friends jumping into the debate including Oronde Gadsden, Leroy Hoard, Roy Bellamy, Twan Russell, John Crotty and Rob Pizzola. 

In hour two, it was inevitable we'd struggle to stay on track so of course, as we revisit the Old Bay debate, Hoch decides it's time to bring in the big guns. Oronde Gadsden and Leroy Hoard call in and duke it out ... despite being on the same side?

Lovett Or Leave It takes the stage at Goucher College and enjoys a little bit o' Baltimore (okay, more specifically, Towson, Maryland). The Washington Post's Alexandra Petri looks back at the incredible women who girl bossed, gaslit, and gobbled sailors whole throughout history. Reporter Dave Weigel leads us up the mountain that is the midterms. Halle and Brian are forced to chose between the flavor of the city and the flavor of the season, and the Rant Wheel spins at the touch of Edgar Allan Poe's spectral hand.
