Description

In this solo-hosted episode of Tidewater Talk, Brodie recaps an unforgettable 18th-birthday celebration for his son—complete with a gentle, sensory-friendly “Happy Birthday,” a surprise Santa visit, and a community that showed up with love from near and far. He then pivots to a local headline: Port of Norfolk officials intercepted nearly $800,000 worth of counterfeit toys, sparking a call for listener insights on how these knockoffs move through the supply chain and impact the region.

Brodie also runs through the week’s weather—unseasonably warm and rainy now, cooling into Thanksgiving with clear skies to follow—and shares Tidewater tips: the Cavalier Resort’s Grand Illumination on Atlantic Avenue this Sunday at 5 PM, and the 511 Virginia site for real-time Hampton Roads traffic and cameras. Last week’s question revisited the Surfin’ Santa 5-Miler tradition, and this week’s prompt asks: what’s the first thing you do in Tidewater when the real cold hits? Thanks for riding along while Co’s on Thanksgiving break, and catch more at tidewatertalk.com.

Intro: Co has an awesome intro! Good evening, neighbors, and welcome to Tidewater Talk. Normally you get both Brodie and Co, but Co is on Thanksgiving vacation, so today it is just Brodie. Do not worry, I will try not to break anything while operating the show alone. We will run through local updates, the weather, and your Tidewater tips, and we will get through this together.

I'M BRODIE and I had a party!
