Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's night time with Dan Ray I'm telling you at
Boston's Leak Radio. Sorry, Dan Walkins, thank you very much.
As we go into our fourth and final hour here
on a Tuesday night, I thought the weather guy said
it was gonna rain a lot. I don't know if
you're if it's raining where you are, Rob, but I
don't think it's raining here. I should have stuck my
(00:23):
head outside to see. But I wonder if that they
said it was going to start around ten or ten
o'clock or somewhere between ten and midnight, said raining in Medford, Rep.
It is raining here. Rob has given me the okay
on that, and I guess I made the mistake looking outside. Anyway,
(00:45):
As you head home, I'm told at this hour there
are many many people on the road heading home to
Grandma's house or wherever you're headed. I'd love to hear
from some of you, if you'd like to just tell
us if you're a regular listener and you decided to
get on the road tonight. We talked with Bernie up
(01:05):
in New Hampshire. He and his wife are heading down
to Fort Belvoir in Virginia, where their son is currently stationed,
and I'm sure that some of you have some travel
stories to tell. I'd just like to sort of ease
into the rest of the night here. We talked earlier
tonight about this story about Boston handing out four point
(01:27):
five million hypodermic needles, and that was a good hour.
But I don't think I want to end the show
on a downer note tonight, So I'm going to gamble
a little bit, And whenever I gamble, my audience pretty
much pulls us through. If you're out there driving somewhere,
love to know what the conditions are and where you're headed,
(01:50):
what time you left, how long you've been on the road.
And of course it doesn't matter if you're a regular listener.
If you just happen to find us on the AM dial.
This is a station out of Boston, and I often
when I do this, when I have traveled, I have
spun the dial on the AM dial and you're listening
to a show. And so if someone if you've just
tuned in and got us on your on your car
(02:13):
radio or at your home radio, give us a call
six one seven, two five four ten thirty or six
one seven nine three one ten thirty. The other thing
that I'd like to ask you this hour, is what
is your favorite holiday? For me? And I've said this before,
but I'd like to say it again. The simplicity and
(02:33):
the family orientation of Thanksgiving has always made Thanksgiving my
favorite holiday. I've often said. And there's a whole bunch
of words that begin with the letter F, all good words,
by the way, family, fun, football, faith, and there's a
(02:54):
couple more that I occasionally stream together. And that's what
Thanksgiving is all about. There are no obligations of presence,
of presence, there's no anticipation of presence. Most people view
it as an opportunity where everybody sits around the dinner
table and everybody is in a good mood. I know
(03:18):
that there are these stories about families not being able
to talk politics. Hey, I was listening over the weekend
to CNN actually in the in the car radio, and
I was listening to my host, who I listened to occasionally.
(03:40):
I'm not a particularly loyal to any of the big
time radio hosts. And his name was Michael mckernash, and
he was saying how that he believed that that much
more unites us than than divides us. And I and
he's a fairly guy, and I like to think of
(04:02):
myself as kind of a conservative, right of center guy,
and I think he's right. I think that down deep,
we have much more in common. I think that the
politicians often are playing us, and mcconnish seemed to suggest
that as well, and he went through a whole list
(04:24):
of points in which most Americans agree, And I don't
think it's one hundred percent, sadly, but I do think
it is most. And I don't know how you categorize most,
whether most is seventy percent or eighty five or ninety percent.
But he was talking about how most of us are
(04:46):
pretty happy to live in this country, particularly when you
compare it to a lot of other countries around the world,
That most of us do not believe that political violence
should be utilized lieu of politics, that democracy is something
that we have been given as a birthright and something
(05:06):
that we should continue to maintain, And there were a
number of again, these overriding similarities, which I think are
truly important. I'm old enough to have lived through a
number of presidencies, and I suspect most of you who
(05:26):
are listening to this show have as well. And we've
survived good presidents, not so good presidents. Sometimes presidents have
really exceeded our expectations. And I root for and I
don't root in a political sense. I root for the
(05:48):
success of whoever is the president because I think that
again we have to we will have Republican presidents, and
we will have a democratic president at some point in
the future. Believe that will have a woman president, maybe
even in my lifetime, maybe in your lifetime, depending upon
your age. That we are a people who we're able
(06:13):
to adjust. We had eight years of Ronald Reagan in
my lifetime. I thought he was a very good president.
We had eight years of Bill Clinton in my lifetime,
and I thought, in retrospect, Clinton was better on economics
than any of us ever could have imagined at the time. Obviously,
(06:34):
he had a couple of side shows going on there,
one with Monica Lewinsky, which didn't help him. I thought
that George Bush forty three had a very successful first term,
not so much so in the second term, but pretty
good president under the circumstances that he inherited. I think
(06:56):
that the Clinton administration was a blind to what was
going on in the world, and Bush paid a price
for it. I thought President Obama was probably the most
ideological president of my lifetime. But you know, we survived
that presidency. As a matter of fact, Obamacare, which looked
(07:21):
to be on its last legs earlier this week, now
seems that the Trump administration is going to bail it
out for a couple of years. I think that they
listened to what voters said in November in Virginia and
in New Jersey. So we're going to be okay. And
when you sit with your relatives on Thursday, don't be hesitated.
(07:46):
Don't hesitate to talk politics, but respect the other point
of view. Respect the other person. Understand that they may
be coming from a whole different set of economic circumstances,
they may be coming from a whole debt, whole difference
set of experiences, and that that is what forms them.
We are the result of our life experience as far
(08:08):
as I'm concerned. I mean, whatever your story is, you
are who you are, and I think that we underestimate
that a lot. So I just want to throw it open.
I'll give you an opportunity. If you're going somewhere in
a car and like to tell us where you're headed
and what you expect in the next few days and
hopefully you're going to enjoy the long weekend as well.
(08:28):
That's great, we can get back to more. We're tougher conversations,
but you agree with me, and I agreed with Smerconish
the other night the other afternoon. I guess with Saturday
Afternoon that we differ on issues. I mean, there's no
question when you live in a democracy on different issues,
(08:50):
But are the big issues about the First Amendment? I
think most of us understood the First Amendment is first
for a reas it's the most important. We were a
miracle in terms of a country that somehow was able
to get itself out from underneath the yoke of the
(09:10):
British Empire. And then, of course our greatest ally in
the twentieth century was England the British Empire. So we
went through a horrific civil war I think as bad
a civil war as have been fought. You know, Spain
had their civil war, Russia's had their revolutions, but ours
(09:35):
was horrible, horrible. Glad I didn't live through that, but
if we survived that, we can survive what's going on today.
So anyway, I don't want to be Pollyannish here at all.
But I want to be a little positive. And if
tonight's the last night you're hearing me before Thanksgiving, I
hope you'll be back tomorrow night. I want you to
take away some hope and talk to your relatives at
(10:00):
you know, don't avoid politics. It's part of who we are.
If you don't want, I mean, if if you're a
family that only focuses on theater and politics is irrelevant
to you, then avoid it. If you're somebody who only
wants to talk about the patriots, talk about the patriots.
But if you're a normal American family that has more
than a passing interest in politics, exchange ideas, thoughts and opinions,
(10:22):
and do it politely, and maybe you'll convince someone or
maybe you'll be convinced. The only lines that are open
right now are six one, seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty.
I'm indebted to Joe and Steve and Katie. You're going
to start us off on the other side. Work with me.
Uh And if you're out there tonight and you're driving somewhere,
we'd love to say hello, join the conversation. We're going
(10:44):
to lighten it up a little bit here we'll get
back to a serious topic or two tomorrow night, and
then we will finish on a on a lighter topic.
I'm sure tomorrow night as well. That's what we try
to do one night side. I want you to know
that we're here to support you. You supported us, You
have supported us now for over eighteen years. I can't
tell you how much I appreciate you availing yourselves. Of
(11:08):
our sponsors. Tim called last hour, and he called back
to get a phone number of doctor sal Maybe he's
contemplating a dental implant. Every one of our advertisers. I
stand behind because I've either availed myself. I haven't had
a dentally implant yet, but if I do, I know
where I'll be going. Doctor sall but prolo therapy awake
(11:30):
in one to eighty Eastern Bank. These are all. I
was an Eastern Bank today talking with Knackle, the manager there,
who's a great guy, and I was just saying, how
wonderful every time I walk into that bank I feel welcomed.
As Dan Ray, you'll feel welcomed either as well. So
all of this window world and window world windows within
arms reach here. So yeah, I'm the real deal. I
(11:55):
am what you see, and I am what you hear,
and I know you folks are as well. And I
hope we never change back on night Side only lines six.
Light them up. Right after this night Side with Dan Ray,
I'm Boston's news radio. It's always our quickest commercial break
(12:17):
of the four hours. Let's go to Joe and Framingham.
Hey Joe, thanks for calling in. You're next on Nightside.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Hey, Dan, enjoying your comments on the presidencies and all that. Uh,
thank you for my part. I like to Uh, I'm
not going to dissect it. I always enjoy what you're
speaking about. But I like to thrive. I don't like
presidencies where we survive if it's not a world situation
that they're dealing with. But when we thrive, that's the best.
(12:45):
That's the one. Those are the ones I remember. So
for U. For the Reagan ear, of course we thrive,
and then some stuff in between Clinton we thrived domestically,
but we suffered. Uh what happened uh years later with
national hits, wars and then you know, I like to
(13:05):
think we're thriving. Now we're going to keep thriving in
the months and a couple of years ahead.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Well, I hope so. And I'm going to say something
that's probably is going to shock a lot of people,
but that's okay. I am not a big fan of
Donald Trump's personality. Okay, I've I've criticized him in many,
many respects. But I also think that he is one
of these transformational presidents. Now again, the story has not
(13:30):
been written, but he changed the the Republican Party. There
are people now who voted for Donald Trump who never
would have thought about voting for a Republican international election.
He has changed the makeup of the Republican Party. The
Republican Party is much more multicultural than it ever was
under George Bush or George Romney or or for that matter,
(13:53):
Ronald Reagan or Gerald Ford or Richard Nixon. It is
no longer a country club party. It is appealing. It
has a much broader appeal. At this point, there are
some Republicans who have walked away and will never come back.
The Cheneys of the world felt that that they were
they were they were shown the door. But that's okay,
(14:16):
And the Democrats now have to change. They have to
figure it out or they're going to be in the
wilderness for a while. And we'll We'll have to see.
I mean Trump's things on the tariffs have actually been
fairly beneficial. I have to get some of my tariff
experts on when I get back next week and see
what they say. The article that I was referring to
(14:37):
today in the Boston Globe, one of the economic writers
said that he might, you know, he might lose a
bet on the tariffs with someone. So it's, uh, let's
see how all of this goes. It's interesting. What's the
one thing about the Trump presidency? Boy, It's been interesting,
hasn't it?
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Absolutely? And I uh, I'm still in joying it, and
I hope to enjoy the rest of it. And it's
I hope you're tariff expert is wrong like we hope
on his bet.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Let me ask you this, okay, as someone who I
actually think he's doing the right thing with these Venezuelan
drug boats. You know, I don't know what your thought is.
I'd like to know what if you think about that?
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Dan.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I you know, I don't like death and destruction, but
I I couldn't have written a better video worthy script
of news items than what he's done with the boat interdiction.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
And and also am a big fan, and I think
that and again I'm not here to to to sing
his praises, but I think that he played a real
role in what has happened in the Middle East, and
I think that there's some indications that may be much
to my surprise and to to my happiness, that we
(16:06):
may finally have at least a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.
So yeah, I mean it's be something very much so,
very much so. So where are you celebrating Thanksgiving? Are
you at home or moving somewhere?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I'm gonna know, thankfully at home, gonna be in the
Beaumont mass area and then up in the Low area
as well. I'm driving right now from Framingham to Chelmsford
and uh it's training pretty heavily. There's there's puddles around Burlington.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Really now are you you're you? You live in Framing him,
but you're are you heading to work? What's going on?
What are you doing right now?
Speaker 4 (16:48):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
With working back there and just heading heading home to
Westford right now?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
All right, Well, enjoy your Thanksgiving. I appreciate that you
would take the time to call and keep calling. Have
I had you as a call it before? And now?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Oh yeah, in the past, in the past, and Dan,
if I had one closing.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Thought, sure, I'll be interested.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Whoever whoever is hosting tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I will know I'm hosting tomorrow night. You're talking.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Oh okay, so as you, as you often do. I
think it would be great to shout out to the commuters.
A lot of people make those long tracks from New
York and stuff tomorrow okay, and if they could hear like, hey,
it's uh, you know, flow through the pike through Sturbridge,
I think that gives people motivation to keep going and
(17:38):
staying away.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
I want as part of the show tomorrow night, we
will do a special commuter hour. How's that? Okay? Thank you?
Great commuter hour in your honor? Fair enough? Okay, thanks great.
You're gonna get a production credit for that. Okay, thank
you so much.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I have a great thanks doing Thanks.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Man YouTube talk to you. So let's keep rolling here.
We're gonna go next to gonna go to Steve in
Fall River. Steve, welcome back. How are you, sir?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
I you doing first time caller?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Okay, we got our first time call Steve. I've had
I've had some Steve from Fall Welcome.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
I want it was you and your family happy Thanksgiving?
But I have one question and listens for all all
the cooks, real good cooks out there. I'm making my
first turkey for this year, the first time making a turkey.
I need any of your callers to call in and
tell me the best way to marinate a turkey. That's all.
That's all I need to know.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Best way to marinate a turkey? Well, you mean while
it's in the oven.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Yes, I'm cooking my first turkey for the family, my
first time cooking, and I need any any callers I'll
do that are cooks that really chefs, anything to let
me know what's the best way to marinate a turkey.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Okay, so let me let let me just get a
little more information from you, because I'm not a cook either.
How big a bird.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
It's twenty four pounds.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
That's a big bird, right, Okay, Okay, it's.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
A big family and it's twenty four pounds and it's
a butterball turkey. And I just need anybody out there,
any of calls. Anybody can just help me out here.
That's all I need.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Okay, So I'm sure you're going to get some suggestions.
I have never cooked a turkey. I've watched my wife
cook turkeys and all of that, and my parents when
I was a kid, and I can remember my parents
used to just slather it with butter. I'm sure you're
(19:44):
going to get a more sophisticated suggestion than that, but
that's the only thing that I know, so I know
that there are different things that people can brush on.
We'll see what they say. So, Steve, I'm hoping that
we're going to have some good chef, or when I
say a chef, somebody who's done this before, doesn't have
to be a professional chef to call in and give
(20:05):
you a little bit of help. How many people are
you serving you're cooking?
Speaker 3 (20:12):
There's going to be about ten to twelve, ten to.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Twelve, all right? And how was it that the honor
has fallen to you for the first time this year?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Well, my.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Ex father in law, who always did all the cooking,
he passed away, so they put it on me. They
put it on me this year, so okay, I mean,
I can't cook like he cooked, but I need some
suggestions out there to help me out, and I'd really
appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
All right, Steve, Well, thank you for being a first
time caller, and we'll hopefully get a couple of people
who will give some ideas about how to marinate a
twenty four pound butterball turkey. How long do you think
that that bird's going to be in the oven? I'm
sure you figure that out out already, right.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Oh, it's I have to read the comes with and yeah,
I mean I don't I don't know how to marinate one.
What's the best way to marinate?
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Okay, I guarantee you we'll get some answers for you
on that and some suggestions. The only other thing that
I would say is I hope you have one of
those thermometers that you can stick into so you know
what the temperature of the bird is, right, You got
to get one of those.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Oh yeah, it's it comes to the bird, the marmon
already in it?
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Good?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
So I guess when.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
It's Did I lose you there for second?
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Yeah? No, I said, already is already in it?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Good?
Speaker 3 (21:45):
That when it when the turkey is fully cooked, I
guess it will pop out. But I want to know
what's the best of marinated so it's nice and moist
and you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I know exactly what I don't want to answer say.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
This year that Kevin made it. I wanted to say
they made it. He made it great turkey.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
You'll look, you're looking for some kudos after dinner, and
we're gonna we're gonna get your up. We're gonna get
your strategy. Okay, thanks Steve, thanks so much for calling.
I appreciate it. Talk again, good night. All right, all right,
six gonna happy Thanksgiving. We'll make it more happy for you.
So if you got a suggestion for Steve from Fall
River how to marinate the turkey? Okay, in the oven? Okay,
(22:28):
help him out? Will you come on? I don't care
who you are, if you've if you've done this before,
and you got some secret sauce or whatever, let me
know maybe there's something. You pull him out of the
oven a couple of times and you pour something over
whatever you what? I I kind of imagine what you
might say. But please give us a call six one seven, two, five,
four ten thirty one line there and I got a
(22:49):
couple of six one seven, nine three one ten thirty.
And if you are traveling and listening to us on
the radio somewhere, give us a quick weather check. And
also what what's the roads like, wherever you are and
tell us where you headed. I know, at this hour
of the night, the WBZ signal bounces way off across
the country anywhere pretty much east of the Mississippi. This
(23:09):
is WBZ in Boston. It's raining in Boston. Love to
know what it's doing where you are and if you're
heading home, if you're making that trip tonight. Love to
hear from you. And we want to know. For our
friend Steve and Fall River, an easy way, but an
effective way to marinate a turkey. So his people in
Fall River will say to him you, you were just amazing, Steve.

that team.

a minor league contract, but it was a professional contract
downetheless and uh local guy from the Boston area. Absolutely.

And I'm serious. If if you can let me know
ahead of time, you know when if you stay on,
Rob will give you my direct line at the station.
And you know, if you knew you had a gig
a couple of weeks out, we could publicize it a
little bit, particularly if it's you know, if you I
don't know, even if you want to make a couple
(27:13):
of suggestions somewhere. That's kind of in the one twenty
eight belt where people get too fairly easily. If you
if you're going to be up in Amesbury or you're
going to be out in uh in Truro, that's going
to be tough, but you can get kind of a
relatively sent a central location. Okay, oh yeah, yeah, to
give a shout out to your bass player. What's your
bass player's first name?
Speaker 5 (27:34):
His name is Bob.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Bob. You're not going to hear this because Katie I'm
sure has the radio turned down, but Craze, you have
precious cargo there. Drive carefully, Okay.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
I'll let him know you said that.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
I appreciate it, all right, Be well, be well, Okay.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
I'm the line.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
I don't have your your direct line, so I'll just
wait for whomever you know.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Don't We're not going to hang up on you. Rob
will go right on and he'll give you my direct
line and we'll try to get some folks to come out.
You know, sometimes I don't know you know where you'd be,
but let me know when we talk. I'll call you
back and we'll figure out a place, a place where
may have a little centrally located. So congratulate you got
to go through. I'm just trying to do the math
(28:17):
here or the geography. So are you gonna swing down
through Pennsylvania at some point to get over to Michigan
or no, you.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
Could take that route, but we're driving through New York.
What we used to do is take the Canadian route.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Oh yeah, No, I don't think we hit.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Pennsylvania, do we? Or briefly maybe?
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Okay, No, New York, just New.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
York right into Michigan. Okay, that's great.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Pretty sure.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
I mean there might be a brief like a Pennsylvania
but much.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Okay, well, yeah, be careful, drive carefully, stay awake, stay alert,
and I'll look forward to hearing back from it. Don't
hang up, Rob, will give you my direct line.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Okay, okay, Happy Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Say how do your family in Flint for ours?
Speaker 5 (29:01):
Really quick? Really quick? Are you there?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (29:05):
Turkey recipe, Bob wanted to say, Oh.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Yeah, this is for Steve and fall River to marinate
the turkey. Great, what give it to us?
Speaker 5 (29:13):
Yep, okay, go for it, Bob.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
There's an old family recipe.
Speaker 7 (29:16):
Dan.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Very good to talk with you.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Nice to talk with you about that.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
We have we're all doing with family.
Speaker 7 (29:22):
We stuff the turkey with a cod a full.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Cop and we also at times.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Oh yeah, please, we're almost we're almost losing you there.
I don't know if you guys can still hear us,
but we're almost losing you here. Oh this is so close, Katie. Okay,
real quickly. So you stuff it with with a cod
a fish, But what about the marinate? That's what that's
what Steve's looking for.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
Yes, he was being funny, but yeah, we do the
same thing. You do. We slather it in butter and
a lot of spice this and we put like an orange,
a lemon, and a big thing of garlic in the middle.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
An orange, a lemon, and the big clove of garlic
inside the bird.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Oh yeah, I'll put anything in their onion. You just
put you know, get created with it.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
And butter and spices.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
Yep. It's just like you said.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Do you melt the butter and pulled it and pour
it over or do you just slather it on with
a knife and let it melt.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Flatter it all over. You can even get it under
the skin if you want, and then you just you
can even mix like the spices in the butter.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
All right. That's our first suggestion for a man down
in Fall River. All right, So he was pulling my leg,
is what you're telling me? You got me? You got me?
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Got you?
Speaker 6 (30:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:50):
You know whatever? I have no idea. Maybe you know
I've heard you got He's he's a comedian as well
as a bass player. Thanks guy, careful, Okay, don't hang up.
Rob's going to give you my direct line. Okay, thanksgiving Katie.
All right, let me get one more in here before
the break. I don't want to make people way too long.
(31:11):
Let me go to Peg up in New Hampshire. Peg
you up in New Hampshire. Welcome, How are you hi?
Speaker 7 (31:17):
Dan?
Speaker 6 (31:17):
How are you? I'm still laughing about the stuffing the
bird with a fish. That's kind of funny.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
And then went away.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
It wasn't sure, Oh that's funny. As you know, I
work night, so I missed part of your show. And
that's a lot of the reasons why I don't call
all the time, because I don't like calling if I
don't know what we're talking about. So to back up
a little bit earlier, I got in my car and
you were talking about Thanksgiving dinner in the expense My
(31:48):
my job is I work in the supermarket for many
years and that's what I do at night. So yes,
it's been a little crazy today and tomorrow will be crazier.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
You got we had someone Steve and fall River is
looking for a marinate recipe, so Katie gave us one.
Do you have you ever cooked a turkey before?
Speaker 6 (32:12):
I've cooked a zillion turkeys over the years.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Okay, what have you Steve? What are you married?
Speaker 6 (32:18):
Somebody was also talking about how long to cook a turkey?
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Flaw.
Speaker 6 (32:22):
The butterballs are a little bit better than some of
the others. The old fashioned way was twenty minutes per
pound for the bird, and that's how you figure it out.
Today's time is a little less. It's usually about fifteen
minutes a pound per bird. Yeah, fifteen minutes per pound.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
That's going to help, Steve.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
Yeah, and what your last college just said. I usually
like to melt the butter just because it's easier. And
then I take a pastry brush if I had it.
Sometimes I get into my life and you smear it
on there and he has a trick of smearing it on.
If you have softened butter, use wax paper and you
can smear it on easier. And then salt and pepper,
(33:02):
pepperrieker if you have some poultry seasoning stage is wonderful,
you know, and any of the devices that you might want.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
All right, So wait a wait, is that you talked
about a cellophane paper? How does that work?
Speaker 3 (33:14):
What wax paper?
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Wax paper?
Speaker 6 (33:16):
Remember the old fashioned wax paper.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Yeah, if you.
Speaker 6 (33:20):
Have soft and butter and you don't have like a
pastry brush.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Oh, use the wax paper.
Speaker 6 (33:26):
Gotcha, gotcham Okay, paper works really cool.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
All right, excellent, excellent. Uh, those those are those are
good suggestions. I'm hoping Steve's still listening, so he's he's
got my my recommendation, he's got Katie's recommendation, he's got
pegs recommendation. We'll keep rolling, Peg, Happy Thanksgiving to you
and yours. I hope you're going to be with some
family members as well.
Speaker 6 (33:50):
Absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
We'll talk. So thanks Peg. I really appreciate you loyalty.
Thank you so much. We're gonna take a quick break here,
final break. I got Cheryl coming up. Richard down in Easton,
Cheryl's in Arlington, and Bellen is in Boston. Hope I've
pronounced that correctly. Uh, what's that?
Speaker 3 (34:11):
What?
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Blen Blenn in Boston? Thank you, Rob, appreciate that. Coming
right back on Nightside.
Speaker 7 (34:17):
It's night Side with Dan Ray on w b Boston's
news radio.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
All right, let's keep rolling. You're going to go to
Cheryl in Arlington. Hey, Cheryl, welcome back.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
How are you good?
Speaker 4 (34:28):
How are you Dan?
Speaker 6 (34:29):
Nice to talk to you again.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Great to talk to you as well. What's on your
mind tonight? And do you have a suggestion how to
marinate a turkey for our friends stint I knew called earlier. Great,
That's what.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
I'm calling about. So my grandmother was the best cook
ever and I have been making turkeys her recipe for
a long time. And because he's got a butter ball,
he's good to go. But I use Bell's stuffing mix
and you just f all of the directions on the box.
(35:02):
It's very easy. Okay, you know, sautee the onions and
Celery had the butter mix it put it in the
turkey just before you're going to put it in the oven.
And she only put butter on top and salt and
pepper and the juices itself. Like you you just use
a baster during the cooking process.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
That's a little brush, right, a little brush.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
No, it's it's like the bulb.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
It has a ball, right, kind of like spray it
on yeah.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Yeah yeah, yeah, you suck it up and then squirt
it on, yeah.
Speaker 6 (35:38):
Like.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
An eye dropper.
Speaker 6 (35:42):
Yeah okay, yes, yeah yeah, and you know it.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
I figured out he's got twenty four pounds and it's
fifteen minutes per pounds, so it's about six hours for
that turkey. But like he said, the timer in the
in the butter ball will pop up. Yeah, and it
will be such a great turkey because everybody always reads
about my turkey.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Well, he's gonna he's got a winner here. And I'll
tell you something. His house with six hours of a
turkey in the oven.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Oh my god, I know people.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
People are going to be drooling, uh okay on that bird.
There's going to be a lot of great white meat,
dark meat, everything you could possibly imagine.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
Yeah, but that bell stuffing is like the best stuff.
My grandmother used to make her own stuffing with the
bell seasoning, but now they make it simple for you
if you just buy the box and follow the directions
and it's so easy.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Yeah, that's what my parents. I can't remember as a kid,
bell stuffing and there was a picture of a turkey
in the box. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
Absolutely, I have one in the cabin. And honestly, because
I couldn't find bell stuffing. One year, it was like
it was like, I don't know, they won twenty four
dollars a box.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
On animal Oh yeah, that must have been during COVID.
I'm sure, I'm sure. Yeah, everything people were still stocking up. Hey, Cheryl,
thank you so much. Great to hear your voice. Please
call them one often.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
Happy Thanksgiving for for your family and toast everyone.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
I promise thanks. I actually do do a toast to
my listeners at my Thanksgiving dinner, uh, and my relatives
allow me to do that. Richard is in Easton, Hey, Richard,
next on Nights Ahead. Hi Richard.
Speaker 7 (37:31):
Oh, yes, just the brief thing I wrote to you
a while back. Because there's two stars. And I know,
once in a great, great wild you have an occasional stars,
like one time you had Ingelbert Yes, and you had
interviewed him, and I thought that was a great uh business.
Lady who was born in nineteen twenty two, who's still
(37:55):
alive at one hundred and three, and I don't know
if you recognize the name. Her name is Jimnis Page.
She's still coherent and she has no trouble with a hearing.
She's only blind in one eye. And she wrote her memoirs,
you know, the book and I sent you some pages
from the Janice Page book. And the other celebrity would
(38:15):
have been Titius Sterling. That's the late Anne Southern's daughter.
She wrote a book about her and her mother. And
I was wondering, would it be possible to have Janice
Page where she is the oldest and Tissue is now eighty.
She'll be eighty one next month. Because you have either
one of them on, I know they wouldn't mind being
(38:37):
on your show.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Okay, I'll tell you what, Richard. You leave your phone
number with Rob and I will give you a call
in the next hopefully, if not tomorrow, early next week,
and you can you know, if that's okay with you,
it's okay with me. Shot about it. And I'm sure
you must have some contact information which will make it
(39:00):
easier for us to get in touch with those folks.
Speaker 7 (39:02):
Okay, Oh, I don't really need to get in touch
with them. I needed to get in touch with the
people at the BEZ who will be interested and interviewing
those two celebrities right right.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
What I'm saying is, I will call you with Rob.
Rob will send me the number and put you your
first name Richard and Easton and put the name of
the women. I'll do a little Google search on them
and then I'll call you. Okay, all right, one.
Speaker 7 (39:30):
More thing, if if you even got the time. A
great guest to me, because we used to go to
the same barbershop. There's a lawyer whose name is Mark Lawton.
I don't know if you ever heard of him. He
used to live in Brockton.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
I came a judge. He became a judge as well.
He became a.
Speaker 7 (39:47):
Judge, right he and his late father was a judge
as well. I thought he would be a great guest
on your show, and I bet he wouldn't mind doing it.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Well, we'll have you know, we'll you and I will
have a good conversation off here. Okay, Richard, leave your
number with Rob. I got to get one more call in.
Thanks very much. Let's go next to my last call
of the night. Blin, Blin. Have I pronounced your first
name correctly?
Speaker 6 (40:12):
Yes? She did?
Speaker 8 (40:12):
Hi, Dan, How are you good?
Speaker 1 (40:14):
Blin? What's what's on your mind? You got to marinate
a suggestion for Steven, For.
Speaker 8 (40:20):
I do have a marriage. Everything that everybody said is great,
And the way I do it is that I usually
separate the skin from the turkey. Yeah, so I'll go
underneath the skin with butter, so a little bit of
melted butter, salt, pepper, rosemary, garlic powder, and then I
(40:42):
put that underneath the skin and on top of all
of the turkey. Then people put the stuffing inside. But
make sure you take whatever's inside out because sometimes there's
all that, you know, intestines, whatever the guts are, so
sometimes people forget to do that right. And then on
the actual pirates, I usually put potatoes, tomatoes and onions,
(41:06):
and so they cook along with the turkey, with all
the droppings of the turkey. I fasted it with rolling
rock beer.
Speaker 6 (41:15):
So in addition, okay, I like that beer.
Speaker 8 (41:19):
I pour a whole beer on top of the turkey
and it keeps it really moist and juicy.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
I bet it does that.
Speaker 8 (41:26):
I put like a aluminium foil.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
And okay, bell, then, thank you so much. I'm flat
out of time, but that's a great suggestion. Happy Thanksgiving
to you and yours all Right, everybody, we had a
great night tonight. We'll have another great night tomorrow night.
I promise I'll lend us always. I will be on
nights out with Dan Ray on Facebook. And just a moment,
all dogs, all gets, all pets go to heaven. That's
my pal Charlie Rays who passed fifteen years ago in February.
(41:52):
That's where all your pets are who have passed. They
loved you and you love them. You will see them again.
Tomorrow night we will have our Thanksgiving Eve program right
here on Nightside. Please tell you friends about Nightside, Share
check us out on Nightside on Demand. Thanks everybody, have
a great Wednesday, Stay dry and best to Katie on
her way home to Flint, Michigan
It's night time with Dan Ray I'm telling you at
Boston's Leak Radio. Sorry, Dan Walkins, thank you very much.
As we go into our fourth and final hour here
on a Tuesday night, I thought the weather guy said
it was gonna rain a lot. I don't know if
you're if it's raining where you are, Rob, but I
don't think it's raining here. I should have stuck my
(00:23):
head outside to see. But I wonder if that they
said it was going to start around ten or ten
o'clock or somewhere between ten and midnight, said raining in Medford, Rep.
It is raining here. Rob has given me the okay
on that, and I guess I made the mistake looking outside. Anyway,
(00:45):
As you head home, I'm told at this hour there
are many many people on the road heading home to
Grandma's house or wherever you're headed. I'd love to hear
from some of you, if you'd like to just tell
us if you're a regular listener and you decided to
get on the road tonight. We talked with Bernie up
(01:05):
in New Hampshire. He and his wife are heading down
to Fort Belvoir in Virginia, where their son is currently stationed,
and I'm sure that some of you have some travel
stories to tell. I'd just like to sort of ease
into the rest of the night here. We talked earlier
tonight about this story about Boston handing out four point
(01:27):
five million hypodermic needles, and that was a good hour.
But I don't think I want to end the show
on a downer note tonight, So I'm going to gamble
a little bit, And whenever I gamble, my audience pretty
much pulls us through. If you're out there driving somewhere,
love to know what the conditions are and where you're headed,
(01:50):
what time you left, how long you've been on the road.
And of course it doesn't matter if you're a regular listener.
If you just happen to find us on the AM dial.
This is a station out of Boston, and I often
when I do this, when I have traveled, I have
spun the dial on the AM dial and you're listening
to a show. And so if someone if you've just
tuned in and got us on your on your car
(02:13):
radio or at your home radio, give us a call
six one seven, two five four ten thirty or six
one seven nine three one ten thirty. The other thing
that I'd like to ask you this hour, is what
is your favorite holiday? For me? And I've said this before,
but I'd like to say it again. The simplicity and
(02:33):
the family orientation of Thanksgiving has always made Thanksgiving my
favorite holiday. I've often said. And there's a whole bunch
of words that begin with the letter F, all good words,
by the way, family, fun, football, faith, and there's a
(02:54):
couple more that I occasionally stream together. And that's what
Thanksgiving is all about. There are no obligations of presence,
of presence, there's no anticipation of presence. Most people view
it as an opportunity where everybody sits around the dinner
table and everybody is in a good mood. I know
(03:18):
that there are these stories about families not being able
to talk politics. Hey, I was listening over the weekend
to CNN actually in the in the car radio, and
I was listening to my host, who I listened to occasionally.
(03:40):
I'm not a particularly loyal to any of the big
time radio hosts. And his name was Michael mckernash, and
he was saying how that he believed that that much
more unites us than than divides us. And I and
he's a fairly guy, and I like to think of
(04:02):
myself as kind of a conservative, right of center guy,
and I think he's right. I think that down deep,
we have much more in common. I think that the
politicians often are playing us, and mcconnish seemed to suggest
that as well, and he went through a whole list
(04:24):
of points in which most Americans agree, And I don't
think it's one hundred percent, sadly, but I do think
it is most. And I don't know how you categorize most,
whether most is seventy percent or eighty five or ninety percent.
But he was talking about how most of us are
(04:46):
pretty happy to live in this country, particularly when you
compare it to a lot of other countries around the world,
That most of us do not believe that political violence
should be utilized lieu of politics, that democracy is something
that we have been given as a birthright and something
(05:06):
that we should continue to maintain, And there were a
number of again, these overriding similarities, which I think are
truly important. I'm old enough to have lived through a
number of presidencies, and I suspect most of you who
(05:26):
are listening to this show have as well. And we've
survived good presidents, not so good presidents. Sometimes presidents have
really exceeded our expectations. And I root for and I
don't root in a political sense. I root for the
(05:48):
success of whoever is the president because I think that
again we have to we will have Republican presidents, and
we will have a democratic president at some point in
the future. Believe that will have a woman president, maybe
even in my lifetime, maybe in your lifetime, depending upon
your age. That we are a people who we're able
(06:13):
to adjust. We had eight years of Ronald Reagan in
my lifetime. I thought he was a very good president.
We had eight years of Bill Clinton in my lifetime,
and I thought, in retrospect, Clinton was better on economics
than any of us ever could have imagined at the time. Obviously,
(06:34):
he had a couple of side shows going on there,
one with Monica Lewinsky, which didn't help him. I thought
that George Bush forty three had a very successful first term,
not so much so in the second term, but pretty
good president under the circumstances that he inherited. I think
(06:56):
that the Clinton administration was a blind to what was
going on in the world, and Bush paid a price
for it. I thought President Obama was probably the most
ideological president of my lifetime. But you know, we survived
that presidency. As a matter of fact, Obamacare, which looked
(07:21):
to be on its last legs earlier this week, now
seems that the Trump administration is going to bail it
out for a couple of years. I think that they
listened to what voters said in November in Virginia and
in New Jersey. So we're going to be okay. And
when you sit with your relatives on Thursday, don't be hesitated.
(07:46):
Don't hesitate to talk politics, but respect the other point
of view. Respect the other person. Understand that they may
be coming from a whole different set of economic circumstances,
they may be coming from a whole debt, whole difference
set of experiences, and that that is what forms them.
We are the result of our life experience as far
(08:08):
as I'm concerned. I mean, whatever your story is, you
are who you are, and I think that we underestimate
that a lot. So I just want to throw it open.
I'll give you an opportunity. If you're going somewhere in
a car and like to tell us where you're headed
and what you expect in the next few days and
hopefully you're going to enjoy the long weekend as well.
(08:28):
That's great, we can get back to more. We're tougher conversations,
but you agree with me, and I agreed with Smerconish
the other night the other afternoon. I guess with Saturday
Afternoon that we differ on issues. I mean, there's no
question when you live in a democracy on different issues,
(08:50):
But are the big issues about the First Amendment? I
think most of us understood the First Amendment is first
for a reas it's the most important. We were a
miracle in terms of a country that somehow was able
to get itself out from underneath the yoke of the
(09:10):
British Empire. And then, of course our greatest ally in
the twentieth century was England the British Empire. So we
went through a horrific civil war I think as bad
a civil war as have been fought. You know, Spain
had their civil war, Russia's had their revolutions, but ours
(09:35):
was horrible, horrible. Glad I didn't live through that, but
if we survived that, we can survive what's going on today.
So anyway, I don't want to be Pollyannish here at all.
But I want to be a little positive. And if
tonight's the last night you're hearing me before Thanksgiving, I
hope you'll be back tomorrow night. I want you to
take away some hope and talk to your relatives at
(10:00):
you know, don't avoid politics. It's part of who we are.
If you don't want, I mean, if if you're a
family that only focuses on theater and politics is irrelevant
to you, then avoid it. If you're somebody who only
wants to talk about the patriots, talk about the patriots.
But if you're a normal American family that has more
than a passing interest in politics, exchange ideas, thoughts and opinions,
(10:22):
and do it politely, and maybe you'll convince someone or
maybe you'll be convinced. The only lines that are open
right now are six one, seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty.
I'm indebted to Joe and Steve and Katie. You're going
to start us off on the other side. Work with me.
Uh And if you're out there tonight and you're driving somewhere,
we'd love to say hello, join the conversation. We're going
(10:44):
to lighten it up a little bit here we'll get
back to a serious topic or two tomorrow night, and
then we will finish on a on a lighter topic.
I'm sure tomorrow night as well. That's what we try
to do one night side. I want you to know
that we're here to support you. You supported us, You
have supported us now for over eighteen years. I can't
tell you how much I appreciate you availing yourselves. Of
(11:08):
our sponsors. Tim called last hour, and he called back
to get a phone number of doctor sal Maybe he's
contemplating a dental implant. Every one of our advertisers. I
stand behind because I've either availed myself. I haven't had
a dentally implant yet, but if I do, I know
where I'll be going. Doctor sall but prolo therapy awake
(11:30):
in one to eighty Eastern Bank. These are all. I
was an Eastern Bank today talking with Knackle, the manager there,
who's a great guy, and I was just saying, how
wonderful every time I walk into that bank I feel welcomed.
As Dan Ray, you'll feel welcomed either as well. So
all of this window world and window world windows within
arms reach here. So yeah, I'm the real deal. I
(11:55):
am what you see, and I am what you hear,
and I know you folks are as well. And I
hope we never change back on night Side only lines six.
Light them up. Right after this night Side with Dan Ray,
I'm Boston's news radio. It's always our quickest commercial break
(12:17):
of the four hours. Let's go to Joe and Framingham.
Hey Joe, thanks for calling in. You're next on Nightside.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Hey, Dan, enjoying your comments on the presidencies and all that. Uh,
thank you for my part. I like to Uh, I'm
not going to dissect it. I always enjoy what you're
speaking about. But I like to thrive. I don't like
presidencies where we survive if it's not a world situation
that they're dealing with. But when we thrive, that's the best.
(12:45):
That's the one. Those are the ones I remember. So
for U. For the Reagan ear, of course we thrive,
and then some stuff in between Clinton we thrived domestically,
but we suffered. Uh what happened uh years later with
national hits, wars and then you know, I like to
(13:05):
think we're thriving. Now we're going to keep thriving in
the months and a couple of years ahead.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Well, I hope so. And I'm going to say something
that's probably is going to shock a lot of people,
but that's okay. I am not a big fan of
Donald Trump's personality. Okay, I've I've criticized him in many,
many respects. But I also think that he is one
of these transformational presidents. Now again, the story has not
(13:30):
been written, but he changed the the Republican Party. There
are people now who voted for Donald Trump who never
would have thought about voting for a Republican international election.
He has changed the makeup of the Republican Party. The
Republican Party is much more multicultural than it ever was
under George Bush or George Romney or or for that matter,
(13:53):
Ronald Reagan or Gerald Ford or Richard Nixon. It is
no longer a country club party. It is appealing. It
has a much broader appeal. At this point, there are
some Republicans who have walked away and will never come back.
The Cheneys of the world felt that that they were
they were they were shown the door. But that's okay,
(14:16):
And the Democrats now have to change. They have to
figure it out or they're going to be in the
wilderness for a while. And we'll We'll have to see.
I mean Trump's things on the tariffs have actually been
fairly beneficial. I have to get some of my tariff
experts on when I get back next week and see
what they say. The article that I was referring to
(14:37):
today in the Boston Globe, one of the economic writers
said that he might, you know, he might lose a
bet on the tariffs with someone. So it's, uh, let's
see how all of this goes. It's interesting. What's the
one thing about the Trump presidency? Boy, It's been interesting,
hasn't it?
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Absolutely? And I uh, I'm still in joying it, and
I hope to enjoy the rest of it. And it's
I hope you're tariff expert is wrong like we hope
on his bet.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Let me ask you this, okay, as someone who I
actually think he's doing the right thing with these Venezuelan
drug boats. You know, I don't know what your thought is.
I'd like to know what if you think about that?
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Dan.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I you know, I don't like death and destruction, but
I I couldn't have written a better video worthy script
of news items than what he's done with the boat interdiction.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
And and also am a big fan, and I think
that and again I'm not here to to to sing
his praises, but I think that he played a real
role in what has happened in the Middle East, and
I think that there's some indications that may be much
to my surprise and to to my happiness, that we
(16:06):
may finally have at least a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.
So yeah, I mean it's be something very much so,
very much so. So where are you celebrating Thanksgiving? Are
you at home or moving somewhere?
Speaker 2 (16:21):
I'm gonna know, thankfully at home, gonna be in the
Beaumont mass area and then up in the Low area
as well. I'm driving right now from Framingham to Chelmsford
and uh it's training pretty heavily. There's there's puddles around Burlington.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Really now are you you're you? You live in Framing him,
but you're are you heading to work? What's going on?
What are you doing right now?
Speaker 4 (16:48):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
With working back there and just heading heading home to
Westford right now?
Speaker 1 (16:53):
All right, Well, enjoy your Thanksgiving. I appreciate that you
would take the time to call and keep calling. Have
I had you as a call it before? And now?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Oh yeah, in the past, in the past, and Dan,
if I had one closing.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Thought, sure, I'll be interested.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Whoever whoever is hosting tomorrow night.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I will know I'm hosting tomorrow night. You're talking.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Oh okay, so as you, as you often do. I
think it would be great to shout out to the commuters.
A lot of people make those long tracks from New
York and stuff tomorrow okay, and if they could hear like, hey,
it's uh, you know, flow through the pike through Sturbridge,
I think that gives people motivation to keep going and
(17:38):
staying away.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
I want as part of the show tomorrow night, we
will do a special commuter hour. How's that? Okay? Thank you?
Great commuter hour in your honor? Fair enough? Okay, thanks great.
You're gonna get a production credit for that. Okay, thank
you so much.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I have a great thanks doing Thanks.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Man YouTube talk to you. So let's keep rolling here.
We're gonna go next to gonna go to Steve in
Fall River. Steve, welcome back. How are you, sir?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
I you doing first time caller?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Okay, we got our first time call Steve. I've had
I've had some Steve from Fall Welcome.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
I want it was you and your family happy Thanksgiving?
But I have one question and listens for all all
the cooks, real good cooks out there. I'm making my
first turkey for this year, the first time making a turkey.
I need any of your callers to call in and
tell me the best way to marinate a turkey. That's all.
That's all I need to know.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Best way to marinate a turkey? Well, you mean while
it's in the oven.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Yes, I'm cooking my first turkey for the family, my
first time cooking, and I need any any callers I'll
do that are cooks that really chefs, anything to let
me know what's the best way to marinate a turkey.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Okay, so let me let let me just get a
little more information from you, because I'm not a cook either.
How big a bird.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
It's twenty four pounds.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
That's a big bird, right, Okay, Okay, it's.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
A big family and it's twenty four pounds and it's
a butterball turkey. And I just need anybody out there,
any of calls. Anybody can just help me out here.
That's all I need.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Okay, So I'm sure you're going to get some suggestions.
I have never cooked a turkey. I've watched my wife
cook turkeys and all of that, and my parents when
I was a kid, and I can remember my parents
used to just slather it with butter. I'm sure you're
(19:44):
going to get a more sophisticated suggestion than that, but
that's the only thing that I know, so I know
that there are different things that people can brush on.
We'll see what they say. So, Steve, I'm hoping that
we're going to have some good chef, or when I
say a chef, somebody who's done this before, doesn't have
to be a professional chef to call in and give
(20:05):
you a little bit of help. How many people are
you serving you're cooking?
Speaker 3 (20:12):
There's going to be about ten to twelve, ten to.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Twelve, all right? And how was it that the honor
has fallen to you for the first time this year?
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Well, my.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Ex father in law, who always did all the cooking,
he passed away, so they put it on me. They
put it on me this year, so okay, I mean,
I can't cook like he cooked, but I need some
suggestions out there to help me out, and I'd really
appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
All right, Steve, Well, thank you for being a first
time caller, and we'll hopefully get a couple of people
who will give some ideas about how to marinate a
twenty four pound butterball turkey. How long do you think
that that bird's going to be in the oven? I'm
sure you figure that out out already, right.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Oh, it's I have to read the comes with and yeah,
I mean I don't I don't know how to marinate one.
What's the best way to marinate?
Speaker 1 (21:13):
Okay, I guarantee you we'll get some answers for you
on that and some suggestions. The only other thing that
I would say is I hope you have one of
those thermometers that you can stick into so you know
what the temperature of the bird is, right, You got
to get one of those.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Oh yeah, it's it comes to the bird, the marmon
already in it?
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Good?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
So I guess when.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
It's Did I lose you there for second?
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Yeah? No, I said, already is already in it?
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Good?
Speaker 3 (21:45):
That when it when the turkey is fully cooked, I
guess it will pop out. But I want to know
what's the best of marinated so it's nice and moist
and you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I know exactly what I don't want to answer say.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
This year that Kevin made it. I wanted to say
they made it. He made it great turkey.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
You'll look, you're looking for some kudos after dinner, and
we're gonna we're gonna get your up. We're gonna get
your strategy. Okay, thanks Steve, thanks so much for calling.
I appreciate it. Talk again, good night. All right, all right,
six gonna happy Thanksgiving. We'll make it more happy for you.
So if you got a suggestion for Steve from Fall
River how to marinate the turkey? Okay, in the oven? Okay,
(22:28):
help him out? Will you come on? I don't care
who you are, if you've if you've done this before,
and you got some secret sauce or whatever, let me
know maybe there's something. You pull him out of the
oven a couple of times and you pour something over
whatever you what? I I kind of imagine what you
might say. But please give us a call six one seven, two, five,
four ten thirty one line there and I got a
(22:49):
couple of six one seven, nine three one ten thirty.
And if you are traveling and listening to us on

And I'm serious. If if you can let me know
ahead of time, you know when if you stay on,
Rob will give you my direct line at the station.
And you know, if you knew you had a gig
a couple of weeks out, we could publicize it a
little bit, particularly if it's you know, if you I
don't know, even if you want to make a couple
(27:13):
of suggestions somewhere. That's kind of in the one twenty
eight belt where people get too fairly easily. If you
if you're going to be up in Amesbury or you're
going to be out in uh in Truro, that's going
to be tough, but you can get kind of a
relatively sent a central location. Okay, oh yeah, yeah, to
give a shout out to your bass player. What's your
bass player's first name?
Speaker 5 (27:34):
His name is Bob.

line and we'll try to get some folks to come out.
You know, sometimes I don't know you know where you'd be,
but let me know when we talk. I'll call you
back and we'll figure out a place, a place where
may have a little centrally located. So congratulate you got
to go through. I'm just trying to do the math
(28:17):
here or the geography. So are you gonna swing down
through Pennsylvania at some point to get over to Michigan
or no, you.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
Could take that route, but we're driving through New York.
What we used to do is take the Canadian route.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
Oh yeah, No, I don't think we hit.
Speaker 5 (28:33):
Pennsylvania, do we? Or briefly maybe?
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Okay, No, New York, just New.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
York right into Michigan. Okay, that's great.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Pretty sure.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
I mean there might be a brief like a Pennsylvania
but much.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Okay, well, yeah, be careful, drive carefully, stay awake, stay alert,
and I'll look forward to hearing back from it. Don't
hang up, Rob, will give you my direct line.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Okay, okay, Happy Thanksgiving?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Say how do your family in Flint for ours?
Speaker 5 (29:01):
Really quick? Really quick? Are you there?
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (29:05):
Turkey recipe, Bob wanted to say, Oh.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Yeah, this is for Steve and fall River to marinate
the turkey. Great, what give it to us?
Speaker 5 (29:13):
Yep, okay, go for it, Bob.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
There's an old family recipe.
Speaker 7 (29:16):
Dan.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
Very good to talk with you.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Nice to talk with you about that.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
We have we're all doing with family.
Speaker 7 (29:22):
We stuff the turkey with a cod a full.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Cop and we also at times.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Oh yeah, please, we're almost we're almost losing you there.
I don't know if you guys can still hear us,
but we're almost losing you here. Oh this is so close, Katie. Okay,
real quickly. So you stuff it with with a cod
a fish, But what about the marinate? That's what that's
what Steve's looking for.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
Yes, he was being funny, but yeah, we do the
same thing. You do. We slather it in butter and
a lot of spice this and we put like an orange,
a lemon, and a big thing of garlic in the middle.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
An orange, a lemon, and the big clove of garlic
inside the bird.
Speaker 5 (30:13):
Oh yeah, I'll put anything in their onion. You just
put you know, get created with it.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
And butter and spices.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
Yep. It's just like you said.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Do you melt the butter and pulled it and pour
it over or do you just slather it on with
a knife and let it melt.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Flatter it all over. You can even get it under
the skin if you want, and then you just you
can even mix like the spices in the butter.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
All right. That's our first suggestion for a man down
in Fall River. All right, So he was pulling my leg,
is what you're telling me? You got me? You got me?
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Got you?
Speaker 6 (30:49):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:50):
You know whatever? I have no idea. Maybe you know
I've heard you got He's he's a comedian as well
as a bass player. Thanks guy, careful, Okay, don't hang up.
Rob's going to give you my direct line. Okay, thanksgiving Katie.
All right, let me get one more in here before
the break. I don't want to make people way too long.
(31:11):
Let me go to Peg up in New Hampshire. Peg
you up in New Hampshire. Welcome, How are you hi?
Speaker 7 (31:17):
Dan?
Speaker 6 (31:17):
How are you? I'm still laughing about the stuffing the
bird with a fish. That's kind of funny.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
And then went away.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
It wasn't sure, Oh that's funny. As you know, I
work night, so I missed part of your show. And
that's a lot of the reasons why I don't call
all the time, because I don't like calling if I
don't know what we're talking about. So to back up
a little bit earlier, I got in my car and
you were talking about Thanksgiving dinner in the expense My
(31:48):
my job is I work in the supermarket for many
years and that's what I do at night. So yes,
it's been a little crazy today and tomorrow will be crazier.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
You got we had someone Steve and fall River is
looking for a marinate recipe, so Katie gave us one.
Do you have you ever cooked a turkey before?
Speaker 6 (32:12):
I've cooked a zillion turkeys over the years.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Okay, what have you Steve? What are you married?
Speaker 6 (32:18):
Somebody was also talking about how long to cook a turkey?
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Flaw.
Speaker 6 (32:22):
The butterballs are a little bit better than some of
the others. The old fashioned way was twenty minutes per
pound for the bird, and that's how you figure it out.
Today's time is a little less. It's usually about fifteen
minutes a pound per bird. Yeah, fifteen minutes per pound.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
That's going to help, Steve.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
Yeah, and what your last college just said. I usually
like to melt the butter just because it's easier. And
then I take a pastry brush if I had it.
Sometimes I get into my life and you smear it
on there and he has a trick of smearing it on.
If you have softened butter, use wax paper and you
can smear it on easier. And then salt and pepper,
(33:02):
pepperrieker if you have some poultry seasoning stage is wonderful,
you know, and any of the devices that you might want.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
All right, So wait a wait, is that you talked
about a cellophane paper? How does that work?
Speaker 3 (33:14):
What wax paper?
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Wax paper?
Speaker 6 (33:16):
Remember the old fashioned wax paper.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Yeah, if you.
Speaker 6 (33:20):
Have soft and butter and you don't have like a
pastry brush.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
Oh, use the wax paper.
Speaker 6 (33:26):
Gotcha, gotcham Okay, paper works really cool.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
All right, excellent, excellent. Uh, those those are those are
good suggestions. I'm hoping Steve's still listening, so he's he's
got my my recommendation, he's got Katie's recommendation, he's got
pegs recommendation. We'll keep rolling, Peg, Happy Thanksgiving to you
and yours. I hope you're going to be with some
family members as well.
Speaker 6 (33:50):
Absolutely absolutely.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
We'll talk. So thanks Peg. I really appreciate you loyalty.
Thank you so much. We're gonna take a quick break here,
final break. I got Cheryl coming up. Richard down in Easton,
Cheryl's in Arlington, and Bellen is in Boston. Hope I've
pronounced that correctly. Uh, what's that?
Speaker 3 (34:11):

Speaker 1 (34:30):
Great to talk to you as well. What's on your
mind tonight? And do you have a suggestion how to
marinate a turkey for our friends stint I knew called earlier. Great,
That's what.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
I'm calling about. So my grandmother was the best cook
ever and I have been making turkeys her recipe for
a long time. And because he's got a butter ball,
he's good to go. But I use Bell's stuffing mix
and you just f all of the directions on the box.
(35:02):
It's very easy. Okay, you know, sautee the onions and
Celery had the butter mix it put it in the
turkey just before you're going to put it in the oven.
And she only put butter on top and salt and
pepper and the juices itself. Like you you just use
a baster during the cooking process.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
That's a little brush, right, a little brush.
Speaker 4 (35:27):
No, it's it's like the bulb.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
It has a ball, right, kind of like spray it
on yeah.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
Yeah yeah, yeah, you suck it up and then squirt
it on, yeah.
Speaker 6 (35:38):
Like.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
An eye dropper.
Speaker 6 (35:42):
Yeah okay, yes, yeah yeah, and you know it.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
I figured out he's got twenty four pounds and it's
fifteen minutes per pounds, so it's about six hours for
that turkey. But like he said, the timer in the
in the butter ball will pop up. Yeah, and it
will be such a great turkey because everybody always reads
about my turkey.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Well, he's gonna he's got a winner here. And I'll
tell you something. His house with six hours of a
turkey in the oven.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Oh my god, I know people.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
People are going to be drooling, uh okay on that bird.
There's going to be a lot of great white meat,
dark meat, everything you could possibly imagine.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
Yeah, but that bell stuffing is like the best stuff.
My grandmother used to make her own stuffing with the
bell seasoning, but now they make it simple for you
if you just buy the box and follow the directions
and it's so easy.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
Yeah, that's what my parents. I can't remember as a kid,
bell stuffing and there was a picture of a turkey
in the box. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
Absolutely, I have one in the cabin. And honestly, because
I couldn't find bell stuffing. One year, it was like
it was like, I don't know, they won twenty four
dollars a box.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
On animal Oh yeah, that must have been during COVID.
I'm sure, I'm sure. Yeah, everything people were still stocking up. Hey, Cheryl,
thank you so much. Great to hear your voice. Please
call them one often.
Speaker 4 (37:13):
Happy Thanksgiving for for your family and toast everyone.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
I promise thanks. I actually do do a toast to
my listeners at my Thanksgiving dinner, uh, and my relatives
allow me to do that. Richard is in Easton, Hey, Richard,
next on Nights Ahead. Hi Richard.
Speaker 7 (37:31):
Oh, yes, just the brief thing I wrote to you
a while back. Because there's two stars. And I know,
once in a great, great wild you have an occasional stars,
like one time you had Ingelbert Yes, and you had
interviewed him, and I thought that was a great uh business.
Lady who was born in nineteen twenty two, who's still
(37:55):
alive at one hundred and three, and I don't know
if you recognize the name. Her name is Jimnis Page.
She's still coherent and she has no trouble with a hearing.
She's only blind in one eye. And she wrote her memoirs,
you know, the book and I sent you some pages
from the Janice Page book. And the other celebrity would
(38:15):
have been Titius Sterling. That's the late Anne Southern's daughter.
She wrote a book about her and her mother. And
I was wondering, would it be possible to have Janice
Page where she is the oldest and Tissue is now eighty.
She'll be eighty one next month. Because you have either
one of them on, I know they wouldn't mind being
(38:37):
on your show.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Okay, I'll tell you what, Richard. You leave your phone
number with Rob and I will give you a call
in the next hopefully, if not tomorrow, early next week,
and you can you know, if that's okay with you,
it's okay with me. Shot about it. And I'm sure
you must have some contact information which will make it
(39:00):
easier for us to get in touch with those folks.
Speaker 7 (39:02):
Okay, Oh, I don't really need to get in touch
with them. I needed to get in touch with the
people at the BEZ who will be interested and interviewing
those two celebrities right right.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
What I'm saying is, I will call you with Rob.
Rob will send me the number and put you your
first name Richard and Easton and put the name of
the women. I'll do a little Google search on them
and then I'll call you. Okay, all right, one.
Speaker 7 (39:30):
More thing, if if you even got the time. A
great guest to me, because we used to go to
the same barbershop. There's a lawyer whose name is Mark Lawton.
I don't know if you ever heard of him. He
used to live in Brockton.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
I came a judge. He became a judge as well.
He became a.
Speaker 7 (39:47):
Judge, right he and his late father was a judge
as well. I thought he would be a great guest
on your show, and I bet he wouldn't mind doing it.
Speaker 1 (39:56):
Well, we'll have you know, we'll you and I will
have a good conversation off here. Okay, Richard, leave your
number with Rob. I got to get one more call in.
Thanks very much. Let's go next to my last call
of the night. Blin, Blin. Have I pronounced your first
name correctly?
Speaker 6 (40:12):
Yes? She did?
Speaker 8 (40:12):
Hi, Dan, How are you good?
Speaker 1 (40:14):
Blin? What's what's on your mind? You got to marinate
a suggestion for Steven, For.
Speaker 8 (40:20):
I do have a marriage. Everything that everybody said is great,
And the way I do it is that I usually
separate the skin from the turkey. Yeah, so I'll go
underneath the skin with butter, so a little bit of
melted butter, salt, pepper, rosemary, garlic powder, and then I
(40:42):
put that underneath the skin and on top of all
of the turkey. Then people put the stuffing inside. But
make sure you take whatever's inside out because sometimes there's
all that, you know, intestines, whatever the guts are, so
sometimes people forget to do that right. And then on
the actual pirates, I usually put potatoes, tomatoes and onions,
(41:06):
and so they cook along with the turkey, with all
the droppings of the turkey. I fasted it with rolling
rock beer.
Speaker 6 (41:15):
So in addition, okay, I like that beer.
Speaker 8 (41:19):
I pour a whole beer on top of the turkey
and it keeps it really moist and juicy.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
I bet it does that.
Speaker 8 (41:26):
I put like a aluminium foil.
Speaker 1 (41:28):
And okay, bell, then, thank you so much. I'm flat
out of time, but that's a great suggestion. Happy Thanksgiving
to you and yours all Right, everybody, we had a
great night tonight. We'll have another great night tomorrow night.
I promise I'll lend us always. I will be on
nights out with Dan Ray on Facebook. And just a moment,
all dogs, all gets, all pets go to heaven. That's
my pal Charlie Rays who passed fifteen years ago in February.
(41:52):
That's where all your pets are who have passed. They
loved you and you love them. You will see them again.
