Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Boston's.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Radio, all right. We've been giving out this way in
which you can leave us a voicemail, little voicemail through
our new iHeartRadio app. And we talked last night with
State Senator Nick Collins about imposing insurance on some of
(00:30):
these electric electric bikes and motorized bikes and motorized scoops,
scooters and mopeads, and people are starting to use the
talkback feats from the iHeart Radio app. Make sure you
download and have the free iHeart Radio app while listening
to night Side Live on WBS News Radio, and tap
that red microphone top back button in the top right
(00:51):
corner to send us your personalized audio message and we'll
play it back on Nightside. It's that simple. But we
had a pretty good one that came in last night
again and it's referring to the interview we had with
Nick Collins, so it's a little dated, but whoever sent
it in, we wanted to acknowledge and say thanks for
sending it in, whether it's critical or complimentary. Play this one,
(01:12):
rob licensure an xis text is going a little too far. Well,
that was short and simple. Short and simple to the point. Okay,
that's fine, no problem. So yeah, people will get used
to it and all of that and it'll be a
(01:33):
little bit more fun. I also had an interesting email
which I want to share with you. We had a
tattoo artist on Her name is Devon. She was up
north of Boston, and she said, let me see, I
just want to make sure I get this right, she said,
(01:54):
I keep getting the wrong one. Here here we go.
She says, Hey there, the other night I was on
your podcast. I just want to send you my newspaper
article that the Ipswitch News did did in the shop.
We should do a podcast talking about my shop and
how I got started and what my meaning and purpose
of this is of doing this line of work. Thanks Devon,
(02:15):
she says. Also, a big thank you for plugging me
in the other night. Much appreciated. Looking at my view
count on Facebook, they definitely went up, all right, Devn, congratulations,
Thank you very much for listening tonight's side. And if
you need a tattoo, listen to our show the other
night when Devin was with us and we got the
address on there and everything. So now we've reached the
(02:38):
end of a week and I've reached really for me
the end of August. I won't be back until Tuesday night,
September second. We had an interesting week this week. We
talked about I'm just going to hit some of the
big topics. We talked about the new challenge that the
state Police colonel faces on my We will talk with
(03:01):
him and he'll take phone calls with us sometime in
early September. We talked about Trump federalizing the DC Police.
For a couple of hours, we talked about Governor Healy's
seeming lack of leadership on both the Republican trash strike
and also the indictment of sheriff from Tompkins. And we
then spent a couple of hours talking with Well, we've
(03:22):
talked with Professor Avid Loeb in the eight o'clock hour,
and we do this sometimes we take a topic in
the eight o'clock hour and use it in the eleven
o'clock hour. And he was talking about some sort of
what he believes might be actually an alien craft heading
in our directions, in our direction, an alien craft that
(03:43):
is twelve miles long. I mean, there's no way that
we could ever produce something that would actually fly and
move in space that's twelve miles long. They'd be like
the length of Manhattan. He says, it's going to be
in our neck of the woods, meaning near Mother Earth
(04:04):
sometime in late October. We will see. We also talked
again about motorized regulating motorized vehicles in Massachusetts, and we
had an interesting hour on Wednesday night about the fact
that there are fewer and fewer spaces in cemeteries and
there's really a sea change underway as to how people
(04:26):
just decide to either be interred or cremated. Very interesting.
And then we did talk last night with State Senator
Nick Collins about transportation safety. We're going to follow that
story in the next few weeks as it wins its
way through Beacon Hill. Talk with futurist Kevin Sirelli last night,
(04:47):
and he talked about the Trump Putin Trump meeting in Alaska,
and I think he was pretty much right on the money.
You can follow him at MTF dot tv, so as
in many t is and Thomas and F's and Freddie
MTF dot tv if you want to listen to what
(05:07):
he had to say. Interesting guy a ten o'clock hour
on Thursday night. Just go to Nightside and Demand, and
then tonight we spent a couple of hours talking about
the lack of specific agreement at the Putin Trump meeting
and also was very tightly controlled. At the end, they
held what they called the press conference, but wasn't a
press conference. It was a couple of statements, one from
(05:31):
President Trump and one from President Putin. Now here's what
I want to do to end this week and to
start myself on. I think a nice RESTful two week vacation,
not going anywhere, just kind of hanging and if you
see me somewhere, please come up and say, hellh I'm
(05:52):
a pretty friendly guy, that is for sure. So one
of my I'm going to basically do my favorite twentieth
hour broadcast and my favorite twentieth hour broadcast for by
the way, a month from now, we will be completing
our eighteenth year of Nightside. We did this show for
(06:16):
about six months before it was officially labeled Nightside with
Dan Ray on October first, two thousand and seven by
our former programming and news director Peter Casey. So we
will finish formerly eighteen years of Nightside and start year
and number nineteen on October first. But that's a well,
(06:39):
actually a month and a half away. But my favorite,
my favorite topic to end the week. We try to
end the week on a fun note, on a positive topic,
and my favorite topic is real simple. It is your
brush with celebrity. Everybody listening to this radio station right now,
(07:01):
at some point in their life had a brush with
a real celebrity. And different people are celebrities that different people.
People who love sports when they meete a professional athlete
their gaga. But at the same time, people who know
(07:23):
nothing about sports would not be impressed. People who love
politics when they finally get to meet a politician, whether
it's a mayor or a city councilor or a senator
or a congressman or president whatever. If people didn't care
about politics, they they could care less. So I want
(07:44):
to hear from you. I will bet you that in
my audience right now, we have people out there who
have met athletes, actors, activists, writers, thinkers, radio people, TV people,
whommever they consider to be a celebrity. So we're just
going to open up these phone lines six one, seven, two, five, four,
(08:08):
ten thirty. You will be surprised at the people who
will be mentioned tonight by my listeners. Also six nine three, one,
ten thirty. I must tell you I every time I
do this topic, I am stunned at. I mean, you know,
people have called up and said they met Elvis pres
You know, they've told me the circumstances they were in
(08:29):
Las Vegas in nineteen seventy one, or they met Frank Sinatra,
or the people in this audience had met an incredible
number of people. I've met a lot of people because
of what I do and what I did in television. Okay,
lots of celebrities, lots of politicians, and most of them,
(08:49):
most of them have always treated me well. Now, in
many cases I had a cameraman and a microphone which
put people. But even when I met them in more
private settings, people are pretty pretty good. But I give
you the license. If you met someone who wasn't nice
to you, I call it good, bad, and ugly. I mean,
(09:14):
if someone blew you off and wouldn't give you an autograph,
and you had a bad meeting with a celebrity, this
is your opportunity. Six one seven two thirty six one seven,
nine three one ten thirty. Just sit back and think
for a moment. Think about that moment when you met someone.
(09:34):
I remember. It's like a nine year old kid meeting
John Wayne in Boston. Yeah, he was here for a
movie premiere called Hatari Why John Wayne was in a
movie about I guess jungle and all of that Africa.
You know, you think of John Wayne with Westerns, but
I guess he was uh stretching out a little bit.
(09:56):
And I remember meeting him. Got a this autograph. I
wish I could find that autograph. I can't find it,
but it's got to be somewhere. Met him outside the
Copley Plaza hotel. He was in that movie. There was
an actor, a comedian called Red Button, and they also
had an animal which was called an oslot O c
e l O T kind of like a small leopard.
(10:20):
And I got to pet the oscelot. My father who
brought me there, let me meet the ocelot and pet
the ocelot. Can you imagine some parent today allowing their
kid to bet a hot and oslot. I'm sure the
oslot was pretty drugged up, but he was sitting there
with John Wayne and Red Button. Anyway, go and to
open up the phone lines. Let him up. We'll go
(10:43):
until midnight, and then I will say so long for
a little over two weeks. We will be back on Nightside.
Your brush with celebrity. Who was it, what were the circumstances,
and how will you treat it? Coming back on Nightside.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
You're on night Side with Dan Ray. I'm WAZ Boston's
news Radio.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
All right, let's get right to We're going to start
it off with Lola in Watertown. Lola, you are next
on Nightside. Thanks for getting us going on this topic.
Glad to know that you were still in the neighborhood. Hey, Lola,
how are you?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I'm still here, Dan, I leave the twenty four. I'm
in San Diego with my brother. This was about thirty
three years ago, and we're walking down Seaport Village and
we ran into Jerry Lewis. He had a boat there.
In his boat's named sam after his wife Samantha. Yeah,
(11:39):
he was very nice to us, very accommodating talk to us. Yeah,
it was great.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Now you said it was thirty three years ago. I
don't know if you had cell phones back in those days.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
But no, no, oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
The thing that's not about Brow is that you could
ask someone for an autograph ill someone of his stature.
But I'm sure he would have been been your pose
and he get a selfie with them.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
I mean, well, yeah, I did that. So about a
month ago, Chaz was in town because you advertised about
the Bronze Tail and I went and you know, you
had to buy backstage pass, which I wash. You know,
I'm like, okay, And he was very accommodating with every
single person that that he met, like we had to
(12:29):
wait in line.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Correctly, wrong, but I think that there were I remember
talking with him and there give it. Give me his
last name again.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
You know, I don't know his last name. He's got
a quote the something about the worst thing is uh
is wasting your talent.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Okay, that's assuming any of us have talent, but I
well we do.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
We all have some kind of talent, and it's when
you don't use it, it's wasted. And that's you know,
he really encourages everybody. At the end of the show,
he comes out and he's like, you know, use your talents,
he says, don't waste it. So so everybody had.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
That's about a two thousand seat theater, right.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
No, no, no, this was in Medford. This was small, right, Yeah,
I don't think it was a Susan.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Jazz Palmary is his last name, yep. So I asked
him how many paid the additional amount of money to get.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
That oh so, so I'd say there was maybe about
thirty of us out of the Bubbo place.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Ok.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Yeah, And then there were people waiting outside for him,
trying to get out the craft. So I didn't hang
around for that, but he was. I'm telling you, this guy,
it blew my mind. He didn't cough, he didn't sneeze,
he didn't drink a glass of water, he wasn't chewing gum,
and he did all the characters in the whole Bronx
(14:10):
tail like. It blew my mind. I sat in the
very I think the second or third row. I was
right there. He's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
So well, I'm so glad that Joe to meet him
and that it worked out well. From listening to the
night Side, well, it was.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
All because of the night Side, Dan, it was all because
of you. And then I went to the Festa and
I had, you know, they had an Elvis impersonator there,
and I met the guy that painted the street he
put it back to the green, white and red. I
got a picture with him, so I got a nice time.
There's just one person I have not seen.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I think I know who that is. We'll see what
we could do.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Okay, thanks, all right, you'll have a great time off.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Dan, I will, I promise, I will thank you, all right,
thank you all right. Six one seven four ten thirty

have a nice rest. I could hear it in your voice,
you know, you get, you know, kind of tired. I
could hear it in your voice.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Fine, I gotta tell you I was. I've been in

started working on the show about nine o'clock in the morning.
I probably have made fifty phone calls today between personal
phone calls and phone calls related to the show.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
A bit.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
It's a grind. Yeah, We're finishing up eighteen years here,
and I'm not as young as that once was. To
be honest with youn. So, who was your celebrity? Who'd
you meet?
Speaker 6 (16:28):
Well, it's over twenty five years ago, but it was.
It's okayd cop for David copper Field.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Oh sure, the magician. Absolutely, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Yeah, he came to Boss and did a show, and
we got to Stin and Wine and meet him after
the show and he signed my program and Dan the
program was about twenty inches by thirty it was huge. Wow,
(16:58):
all right, I hope you's Oh, I've got it. I've
got it, okay.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Was he a nice guy? Was he was kind?
Speaker 6 (17:08):
It was? He was very sweet, very pleasant.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
Absolutely, And I had looked forward to seeing him because
he's just fabulous, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Oh, he's a great entertainer. There's no question about that.
There's no question about that. That's a good one. I
don't think anyone has ever called it. All the times
we have done brushes with celebrity. I've always thought him
as a guy who was in Vegas, and it was
someone who always in Vegas. I didn't realize that he
got out on the road. Where did you see him?
(17:41):
At one of the downtown Boston theaters?
Speaker 6 (17:43):
And I think the Colonial.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Good for you. That's a great theater. If it was.
Speaker 6 (17:48):
Yeah, we enjoyed. The show was tremendous.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Do me a favor. Don't worry about me and Florence.
I'm doing just fine, and I'm looking forward to a
couple of weeks of just watching Red Sox games at
night and going with friends and having you know, dinners, which.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
I never you know, you need the rest, well five
nights a week.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Uh you know tonight I ended up just grabbing a sandwich.
Uh you know, I'm you know, this is this will
be it, This will be it. I haven't had a
two week vacation in.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
A long time, in a long time.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
So yeah, thanks for let's talk soon.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
Okay, enjoy too.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Let me go to Terry and Drake it Massachusetts a
little north here. Hi, Terry, how are you tonight?
Speaker 7 (18:34):
Hi?
Speaker 8 (18:34):
Hi?
Speaker 7 (18:35):
Am good Dan? Are you going to tell you I'm
a first time caller?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Well, you get a lot. You get a round of
a call for that, We'll thank you very much. Here
you are first time caller with a brush with celebrity.
So I'm dying to know who who was it that
you met.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
I didn't actually meet him, but I consider it more
that what you say, a brush with celebrities. My husband
and my daughter and I. This might have been before
my daughter moved away, so maybe like twenty fifteen ishm
maybe twenty sixteenth, but anyway, we went to Fenway. Not Fenway,
(19:12):
We went to Jellette Stadium because it was a Father's
Day event and so everybody was out on the field
and there were lots of things that you could do.
No football players or anything, but just activities and playing
on the field. But then they needed to take part
of the field away and they felt bad, so they
said if anybody wanted to go in the locker room
(19:32):
for a tour. So we went in the locker room
for a tour, and we were laughing and looking at
all the big you know, remember will fok in those
huge huge So was this.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
It Jillette Stadium?
Speaker 7 (19:48):
Yep, at Jellette Stadium, sure, yeah, yeah, So it was
really fun. So we're looking around, and all of a sudden,
this beautiful, very buff football player walked by so close
to me. I could have reached out.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Was it number twelve?
Speaker 4 (20:09):
No, No, it.
Speaker 7 (20:10):
Wasn't him, it was it was done to a high tower.
Oh and he was clad only in a skindy white towel.
I don't think he knew that a bunch of middle
aged people were going to be hanging around in Maya
and he just like, oh my goodness and walked right through.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Well, I'm sure he wasn't going to linger and chat.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
He wasn't going to linger, but he's probably gone through.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
You know, if you, if you're pro athlete, walking around
with a towel is something that's fairly common practice. So
I don't I don't think he would have been embarrassed,
if you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (20:50):
And now now that the it used to be that
the only sports writers were men back in the in
the bad old days, and now women sports writers are
in there at the postgame interviews football, baseball, et cetera,
and so all the all of those traditional.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Barriers are down.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:13):
True.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
So it was very.
Speaker 7 (21:15):
Shocking to me. And I was like, whoa, And I'm
not going to tell you. I'm not going to lie
to you. It was a nice a nice gaze I
was able to give them.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
Oh, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Now, I do know what you mean. And guess what,
I'm sure. I'm sure that he was grateful for your
for your admiration. So that's great. Hey, how come you've
waited so long to call my show?
Speaker 5 (21:44):

enjoy the show very much. And I enjoy you. I
enjoy the way you like to have a conversation with people.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
If you listen last hour, if you listen for parts
of last hour. I'm not always successful.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
No, it isn't always successful.
Speaker 7 (22:13):
It's kind of crazy sometimes. Can I ask you one
quick question and then I'll go, sure you don't have
I been dying to ask you this question? And it's uh,
it might be ten years ago, but I was listening
and then I fell asleep, and I never heard the
end of the story. I think it might have been
(22:35):
on a ceiling fan. A little bird made a nest
and the eggs in it. Whatever became of that, did they?
They They all had awesome It's funny.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I had a friend of mine who had a similar
experience this spring with a with I think it was
Robin's and wow. Yeah, sometimes you look around if you
have a porch or whatever. I had a ceiling fan
on a porch, and all of a sudden, I realized
there was no I wasn't you know, I didn't spin
the ceiling fan. I was very predictive of the ceiling fan. Yeah. No,
(23:14):
I love animals, and and when you realize that, hey,
there's a there's a mother up there. They were Robin's. Yeah,
but no, no, they they they they made it. They
made it out of the nest. And I hope they
had a wonderful wife. But it wasn't quite two years ago, but.
Speaker 7 (23:34):
It was a few years quite. It was, yeah, a
few years ago. It was when I first took up
listening to DZ.

time call. Thank you very much. Give me your top
two celebrities because I got four, folks.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
Wow.
Speaker 12 (33:54):
Make a difference here, because waiting on a celebrity and
meeting them in person a two different things. Fair enough, Okay,
So if you can think of any famous celebrity who
has ever come to Boston in the last thirty five years,
I have probably waited on them as a waiter.
Speaker 5 (34:12):
Okay, good for you.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Okay, I got that distinction.
Speaker 12 (34:16):
However, I lived in Los Angeles and I've met people
who are close friends of certain celebrities. So for the
old time listeners here, I have met Betty Davis, I
have met Catherine Hepperns, I have met Elizabeth Taylor. But
the celebrity I'm going to talk about now is Jerry Sarnbell.
(34:38):
Oh sure, Okay, I could get in trouble for talking
about him. But Jerry's best friend is a good friend
of mine.

and there was Jerry with George, his longtime manager. He
was a great, great guy, great, so funny, and you know,
Jerry does not like to meet people, okay, but he's very, uh,
(35:27):
stand offish, and he's very he didn't like to like
shake hands, he doesn't like to like touch people on
the shoulder. But he was great. He was so funny
and so sweet.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
And so nice, so that I'm a big, big fan
of his. So that was really great. Hey, Gary, I

Speaker 13 (39:25):
So I'm seventy two years old. I've met a few
celebrities in my life, but the one I want to
mention is that in nineteen seventy eight, I think it
was a month before I got married. I was getting
married in May of seventy eight, and I met Jack
Lemon and a quick anecdote. He was it was a
pre Broadway production in Boston, I think at the Colonial Theater,
(39:47):
and it was a play called Tribute. And he during
the during the play, Jack Lemon did this thing two
or three times where he would tap his cheek as
if to indicate to another one of the acts that
they were to kiss him on the cheek, and as
they approached, he would turn his face quickly and get
to kiss the person on the mouth. It was proud
of the play.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
It was kind of cool, all right, Ellen, Ellen, I
hate to do this, Yeah, Ellen, Ellen, I got one more.
Speaker 8 (40:12):

To try this about Bobbio or we will guess. At
the pot class fifty two years ago.
Speaker 5 (40:27):
And he was the guest.
Speaker 14 (40:28):
There was a fundraiser. As I saw he was standing alone,
and I always carry to throw away camera to take pictures,
and so I walked over to him. I said to
my husband, I just have to do this.
Speaker 2 (40:39):

It's Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Boston's.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Radio, all right. We've been giving out this way in
which you can leave us a voicemail, little voicemail through
our new iHeartRadio app. And we talked last night with
State Senator Nick Collins about imposing insurance on some of
(00:30):
these electric electric bikes and motorized bikes and motorized scoops,
scooters and mopeads, and people are starting to use the
talkback feats from the iHeart Radio app. Make sure you
download and have the free iHeart Radio app while listening
to night Side Live on WBS News Radio, and tap
that red microphone top back button in the top right
(00:51):
corner to send us your personalized audio message and we'll
play it back on Nightside. It's that simple. But we
had a pretty good one that came in last night
again and it's referring to the interview we had with
Nick Collins, so it's a little dated, but whoever sent
it in, we wanted to acknowledge and say thanks for
sending it in, whether it's critical or complimentary. Play this one,
(01:12):
rob licensure an xis text is going a little too far. Well,
that was short and simple. Short and simple to the point. Okay,
that's fine, no problem. So yeah, people will get used
to it and all of that and it'll be a
(01:33):
little bit more fun. I also had an interesting email
which I want to share with you. We had a
tattoo artist on Her name is Devon. She was up
north of Boston, and she said, let me see, I
just want to make sure I get this right, she said,
(01:54):
I keep getting the wrong one. Here here we go.
She says, Hey there, the other night I was on
your podcast. I just want to send you my newspaper
article that the Ipswitch News did did in the shop.
We should do a podcast talking about my shop and
how I got started and what my meaning and purpose
of this is of doing this line of work. Thanks Devon,
(02:15):
she says. Also, a big thank you for plugging me
in the other night. Much appreciated. Looking at my view
count on Facebook, they definitely went up, all right, Devn, congratulations,
Thank you very much for listening tonight's side. And if
you need a tattoo, listen to our show the other
night when Devin was with us and we got the
address on there and everything. So now we've reached the
(02:38):
end of a week and I've reached really for me
the end of August. I won't be back until Tuesday night,
September second. We had an interesting week this week. We
talked about I'm just going to hit some of the
big topics. We talked about the new challenge that the
state Police colonel faces on my We will talk with
(03:01):
him and he'll take phone calls with us sometime in
early September. We talked about Trump federalizing the DC Police.
For a couple of hours, we talked about Governor Healy's
seeming lack of leadership on both the Republican trash strike
and also the indictment of sheriff from Tompkins. And we
then spent a couple of hours talking with Well, we've
(03:22):
talked with Professor Avid Loeb in the eight o'clock hour,
and we do this sometimes we take a topic in
the eight o'clock hour and use it in the eleven
o'clock hour. And he was talking about some sort of
what he believes might be actually an alien craft heading
in our directions, in our direction, an alien craft that
(03:43):
is twelve miles long. I mean, there's no way that
we could ever produce something that would actually fly and
move in space that's twelve miles long. They'd be like
the length of Manhattan. He says, it's going to be
in our neck of the woods, meaning near Mother Earth
(04:04):
sometime in late October. We will see. We also talked
again about motorized regulating motorized vehicles in Massachusetts, and we
had an interesting hour on Wednesday night about the fact
that there are fewer and fewer spaces in cemeteries and
there's really a sea change underway as to how people
(04:26):
just decide to either be interred or cremated. Very interesting.
And then we did talk last night with State Senator
Nick Collins about transportation safety. We're going to follow that
story in the next few weeks as it wins its
way through Beacon Hill. Talk with futurist Kevin Sirelli last night,
(04:47):
and he talked about the Trump Putin Trump meeting in Alaska,
and I think he was pretty much right on the money.
You can follow him at MTF dot tv, so as
in many t is and Thomas and F's and Freddie
MTF dot tv if you want to listen to what
(05:07):
he had to say. Interesting guy a ten o'clock hour
on Thursday night. Just go to Nightside and Demand, and
then tonight we spent a couple of hours talking about
the lack of specific agreement at the Putin Trump meeting
and also was very tightly controlled. At the end, they
held what they called the press conference, but wasn't a
press conference. It was a couple of statements, one from
(05:31):
President Trump and one from President Putin. Now here's what
I want to do to end this week and to
start myself on. I think a nice RESTful two week vacation,
not going anywhere, just kind of hanging and if you
see me somewhere, please come up and say, hellh I'm
(05:52):
a pretty friendly guy, that is for sure. So one
of my I'm going to basically do my favorite twentieth
hour broadcast and my favorite twentieth hour broadcast for by
the way, a month from now, we will be completing
our eighteenth year of Nightside. We did this show for
(06:16):
about six months before it was officially labeled Nightside with
Dan Ray on October first, two thousand and seven by
our former programming and news director Peter Casey. So we
will finish formerly eighteen years of Nightside and start year
and number nineteen on October first. But that's a well,
(06:39):
actually a month and a half away. But my favorite,
my favorite topic to end the week. We try to
end the week on a fun note, on a positive topic,
and my favorite topic is real simple. It is your
brush with celebrity. Everybody listening to this radio station right now,
(07:01):
at some point in their life had a brush with
a real celebrity. And different people are celebrities that different people.
People who love sports when they meete a professional athlete
their gaga. But at the same time, people who know
(07:23):
nothing about sports would not be impressed. People who love
politics when they finally get to meet a politician, whether
it's a mayor or a city councilor or a senator
or a congressman or president whatever. If people didn't care
about politics, they they could care less. So I want
(07:44):
to hear from you. I will bet you that in
my audience right now, we have people out there who
have met athletes, actors, activists, writers, thinkers, radio people, TV people,
whommever they consider to be a celebrity. So we're just
going to open up these phone lines six one, seven, two, five, four,
(08:08):
ten thirty. You will be surprised at the people who
will be mentioned tonight by my listeners. Also six nine three, one,
ten thirty. I must tell you I every time I
do this topic, I am stunned at. I mean, you know,
people have called up and said they met Elvis pres
You know, they've told me the circumstances they were in
(08:29):
Las Vegas in nineteen seventy one, or they met Frank Sinatra,
or the people in this audience had met an incredible
number of people. I've met a lot of people because
of what I do and what I did in television. Okay,
lots of celebrities, lots of politicians, and most of them,
(08:49):
most of them have always treated me well. Now, in
many cases I had a cameraman and a microphone which
put people. But even when I met them in more
private settings, people are pretty pretty good. But I give
you the license. If you met someone who wasn't nice
to you, I call it good, bad, and ugly. I mean,
(09:14):
if someone blew you off and wouldn't give you an autograph,
and you had a bad meeting with a celebrity, this
is your opportunity. Six one seven two thirty six one seven,
nine three one ten thirty. Just sit back and think
for a moment. Think about that moment when you met someone.
(09:34):
I remember. It's like a nine year old kid meeting
John Wayne in Boston. Yeah, he was here for a
movie premiere called Hatari Why John Wayne was in a
movie about I guess jungle and all of that Africa.
You know, you think of John Wayne with Westerns, but
I guess he was uh stretching out a little bit.
(09:56):
And I remember meeting him. Got a this autograph. I
wish I could find that autograph. I can't find it,
but it's got to be somewhere. Met him outside the
Copley Plaza hotel. He was in that movie. There was
an actor, a comedian called Red Button, and they also
had an animal which was called an oslot O c
e l O T kind of like a small leopard.
(10:20):
And I got to pet the oscelot. My father who
brought me there, let me meet the ocelot and pet
the ocelot. Can you imagine some parent today allowing their
kid to bet a hot and oslot. I'm sure the
oslot was pretty drugged up, but he was sitting there
with John Wayne and Red Button. Anyway, go and to
open up the phone lines. Let him up. We'll go
(10:43):
until midnight, and then I will say so long for
a little over two weeks. We will be back on Nightside.
Your brush with celebrity. Who was it, what were the circumstances,
and how will you treat it? Coming back on Nightside.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
You're on night Side with Dan Ray. I'm WAZ Boston's
news Radio.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
All right, let's get right to We're going to start
it off with Lola in Watertown. Lola, you are next
on Nightside. Thanks for getting us going on this topic.
Glad to know that you were still in the neighborhood. Hey, Lola,
how are you?
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I'm still here, Dan, I leave the twenty four. I'm
in San Diego with my brother. This was about thirty
three years ago, and we're walking down Seaport Village and
we ran into Jerry Lewis. He had a boat there.
In his boat's named sam after his wife Samantha. Yeah,
(11:39):
he was very nice to us, very accommodating talk to us. Yeah,
it was great.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
Now you said it was thirty three years ago. I
don't know if you had cell phones back in those days.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
But no, no, oh, okay.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
The thing that's not about Brow is that you could
ask someone for an autograph ill someone of his stature.
But I'm sure he would have been been your pose
and he get a selfie with them.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
I mean, well, yeah, I did that. So about a
month ago, Chaz was in town because you advertised about
the Bronze Tail and I went and you know, you
had to buy backstage pass, which I wash. You know,
I'm like, okay, And he was very accommodating with every
single person that that he met, like we had to
(12:29):
wait in line.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
Correctly, wrong, but I think that there were I remember
talking with him and there give it. Give me his
last name again.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
You know, I don't know his last name. He's got
a quote the something about the worst thing is uh
is wasting your talent.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Okay, that's assuming any of us have talent, but I
well we do.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
We all have some kind of talent, and it's when
you don't use it, it's wasted. And that's you know,
he really encourages everybody. At the end of the show,
he comes out and he's like, you know, use your talents,
he says, don't waste it. So so everybody had.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
That's about a two thousand seat theater, right.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
No, no, no, this was in Medford. This was small, right, Yeah,
I don't think it was a Susan.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Jazz Palmary is his last name, yep. So I asked
him how many paid the additional amount of money to get.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
That oh so, so I'd say there was maybe about
thirty of us out of the Bubbo place.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Ok.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Yeah, And then there were people waiting outside for him,
trying to get out the craft. So I didn't hang
around for that, but he was. I'm telling you, this guy,
it blew my mind. He didn't cough, he didn't sneeze,
he didn't drink a glass of water, he wasn't chewing gum,
and he did all the characters in the whole Bronx
(14:10):
tail like. It blew my mind. I sat in the
very I think the second or third row. I was
right there. He's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
So well, I'm so glad that Joe to meet him
and that it worked out well. From listening to the
night Side, well, it was.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
All because of the night Side, Dan, it was all because
of you. And then I went to the Festa and
I had, you know, they had an Elvis impersonator there,
and I met the guy that painted the street he
put it back to the green, white and red. I
got a picture with him, so I got a nice time.
There's just one person I have not seen.

I probably have made fifty phone calls today between personal
phone calls and phone calls related to the show.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
A bit.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
It's a grind. Yeah, We're finishing up eighteen years here,
and I'm not as young as that once was. To
be honest with youn. So, who was your celebrity? Who'd
you meet?
Speaker 6 (16:28):
Well, it's over twenty five years ago, but it was.
It's okayd cop for David copper Field.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Oh sure, the magician. Absolutely, Yeah.
Speaker 6 (16:37):
Yeah, he came to Boss and did a show, and
we got to Stin and Wine and meet him after

Speaker 6 (17:13):
Absolutely, And I had looked forward to seeing him because
he's just fabulous, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Oh, he's a great entertainer. There's no question about that.
There's no question about that. That's a good one. I
don't think anyone has ever called it. All the times
we have done brushes with celebrity. I've always thought him
as a guy who was in Vegas, and it was
someone who always in Vegas. I didn't realize that he
got out on the road. Where did you see him?
(17:41):
At one of the downtown Boston theaters?
Speaker 6 (17:43):
And I think the Colonial.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
Good for you. That's a great theater. If it was.
Speaker 6 (17:48):
Yeah, we enjoyed. The show was tremendous.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Do me a favor. Don't worry about me and Florence.
I'm doing just fine, and I'm looking forward to a
couple of weeks of just watching Red Sox games at
night and going with friends and having you know, dinners, which.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
I never you know, you need the rest, well five
nights a week.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Uh you know tonight I ended up just grabbing a sandwich.
Uh you know, I'm you know, this is this will
be it, This will be it. I haven't had a
two week vacation in.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
A long time, in a long time.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
So yeah, thanks for let's talk soon.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
Okay, enjoy too.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Let me go to Terry and Drake it Massachusetts a
little north here. Hi, Terry, how are you tonight?
Speaker 7 (18:34):
Hi?
Speaker 8 (18:34):
Hi?
Speaker 7 (18:35):
Am good Dan? Are you going to tell you I'm
a first time caller?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Well, you get a lot. You get a round of
a call for that, We'll thank you very much. Here
you are first time caller with a brush with celebrity.
So I'm dying to know who who was it that
you met.
Speaker 7 (18:50):
I didn't actually meet him, but I consider it more
that what you say, a brush with celebrities. My husband
and my daughter and I. This might have been before
my daughter moved away, so maybe like twenty fifteen ishm
maybe twenty sixteenth, but anyway, we went to Fenway. Not Fenway,
(19:12):
We went to Jellette Stadium because it was a Father's
Day event and so everybody was out on the field
and there were lots of things that you could do.
No football players or anything, but just activities and playing
on the field. But then they needed to take part
of the field away and they felt bad, so they
said if anybody wanted to go in the locker room
(19:32):
for a tour. So we went in the locker room
for a tour, and we were laughing and looking at
all the big you know, remember will fok in those
huge huge So was this.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
It Jillette Stadium?
Speaker 7 (19:48):
Yep, at Jellette Stadium, sure, yeah, yeah, So it was
really fun. So we're looking around, and all of a sudden,
this beautiful, very buff football player walked by so close
to me. I could have reached out.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Was it number twelve?
Speaker 4 (20:09):
No, No, it.
Speaker 7 (20:10):
Wasn't him, it was it was done to a high tower.
Oh and he was clad only in a skindy white towel.
I don't think he knew that a bunch of middle
aged people were going to be hanging around in Maya
and he just like, oh my goodness and walked right through.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
Well, I'm sure he wasn't going to linger and chat.
Speaker 7 (20:35):
He wasn't going to linger, but he's probably gone through.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
You know, if you, if you're pro athlete, walking around
with a towel is something that's fairly common practice. So
I don't I don't think he would have been embarrassed,
if you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 9 (20:50):
And now now that the it used to be that
the only sports writers were men back in the in
the bad old days, and now women sports writers are
in there at the postgame interviews football, baseball, et cetera,
and so all the all of those traditional.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Barriers are down.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:13):
True.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
So it was very.
Speaker 7 (21:15):
Shocking to me. And I was like, whoa, And I'm
not going to tell you. I'm not going to lie
to you. It was a nice a nice gaze I
was able to give them.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
Oh, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Now, I do know what you mean. And guess what,
I'm sure. I'm sure that he was grateful for your
for your admiration. So that's great. Hey, how come you've
waited so long to call my show?
Speaker 5 (21:44):

Speaker 3 (21:45):

of last hour. I'm not always successful.

No, it isn't always successful.
Speaker 7 (22:13):
It's kind of crazy sometimes. Can I ask you one
quick question and then I'll go, sure you don't have
I been dying to ask you this question? And it's uh,
it might be ten years ago, but I was listening
and then I fell asleep, and I never heard the
end of the story. I think it might have been
(22:35):
on a ceiling fan. A little bird made a nest
and the eggs in it. Whatever became of that, did they?
They They all had awesome It's funny.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
I had a friend of mine who had a similar
experience this spring with a with I think it was
Robin's and wow. Yeah, sometimes you look around if you
have a porch or whatever. I had a ceiling fan
on a porch, and all of a sudden, I realized
there was no I wasn't you know, I didn't spin
the ceiling fan. I was very predictive of the ceiling fan. Yeah. No,
(23:14):
I love animals, and and when you realize that, hey,
there's a there's a mother up there. They were Robin's. Yeah,
but no, no, they they they they made it. They
made it out of the nest. And I hope they
had a wonderful wife. But it wasn't quite two years ago, but.

However, I lived in Los Angeles and I've met people
who are close friends of certain celebrities. So for the
old time listeners here, I have met Betty Davis, I
have met Catherine Hepperns, I have met Elizabeth Taylor. But
the celebrity I'm going to talk about now is Jerry Sarnbell.

about him. But Jerry's best friend is a good friend
of mine.

let's go meet Jerry, and we went up on stage
and there was Jerry with George, his longtime manager. He
was a great, great guy, great, so funny, and you know,
Jerry does not like to meet people, okay, but he's very, uh,
(35:27):
stand offish, and he's very he didn't like to like
shake hands, he doesn't like to like touch people on
the shoulder. But he was great. He was so funny
and so sweet.
Speaker 2 (35:38):
And so nice, so that I'm a big, big fan
of his. So that was really great. Hey, Gary, I

Speaker 13 (39:25):
So I'm seventy two years old. I've met a few
celebrities in my life, but the one I want to
mention is that in nineteen seventy eight, I think it
was a month before I got married. I was getting
married in May of seventy eight, and I met Jack
Lemon and a quick anecdote. He was it was a
pre Broadway production in Boston, I think at the Colonial Theater,
(39:47):
and it was a play called Tribute. And he during
the during the play, Jack Lemon did this thing two
or three times where he would tap his cheek as
if to indicate to another one of the acts that
they were to kiss him on the cheek, and as
they approached, he would turn his face quickly and get
to kiss the person on the mouth. It was proud
of the play.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
It was kind of cool, all right, Ellen, Ellen, I
hate to do this, Yeah, Ellen, Ellen, I got one more.

To try this about Bobbio or we will guess. At
the pot class fifty two years ago.
Speaker 5 (40:27):
And he was the guest.
Speaker 14 (40:28):
There was a fundraiser. As I saw he was standing alone,
and I always carry to throw away camera to take pictures,
and so I walked over to him. I said to
my husband, I just have to do this.
