Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's Night Side with Dan Ray on w b Z,
Boston's news radio has.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Gotten worse since I phoned you, I think about upstairs.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Do you having the spans again? Did you give her
the medication?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
That was riddling?
Speaker 4 (00:45):
All right, hey boy.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Disclaimer that those are clips from movies, because we're talking Halloween,
and it was pretty weird to hear that. It's WBZ
News Radio ten thirty. I'm Bradley Jay and for Dan
all Knight said, and we're talking Halloween. I go into
the stores, Boom, Halloween. It's Halloween. All of a sudden,
(01:13):
Halloween is weird. Rest of the year, we watch a movie,
we get we have to get parental advisories on every
little thing, smoking, bad thoughts, bad feelings, et cetera. But
during Halloween, you walk by people's yard and there's, you know,
figures of people half buried. There's all kinds of horrible
(01:37):
things that you get at the stores. And that's okay
for one month. Death and bad stuff is fun. Rest
of the year not so much so. In the spirit
of Halloween. I wanna hear I'm gonna take a little
pole find out what this particular group of folks that
would be you believes this is the greatest. What are
(02:00):
your favorite Halloween movie? And even if someone mentions the
one you were going to mention, I need you to
mention it again so you can vote for it. But
also in the you know, related topics, related stuff, Halloween stuff.
Did you ever get pranked? Did you ever get tricked
(02:22):
or treated tricked? Or did you ever do a Halloween prank?
Did you ever perpetrate a Halloween prank? What was it?
This will probably be your only chance to tell that story.
It doesn't come up very much. Nobody asks you that
except me now, so tell me now. It's six one, seven, two, five, four,
ten thirty. Also, you go trick or treating, what was
(02:43):
the candy you wanted? And what was the candy or
whatever you didn't want? Of course, any full sized candy
bar was desirable. What was undesirable was the apple? Oh kid,
no kid wanted an apple? No kid? Everyone? Oh thank god,
that's an apple. I wanted an apple. I've been looking
(03:05):
for an apple all night long. Here you go, clunk
in the bag. Apple, you know, not a big treat. Also,
some of those candies from back in your day are gone.
Some of the remember the white chocolate he wants? What
were those?
Speaker 5 (03:22):
That?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Polar bar, zero bar, all those were a fair game.
Wilch's fudge bar was a favorite of mine. Chunky. You
know what about you? And have you ever seen a ghost?
A lot of you have seen a ghost? My significant
others since it's seen a ghost, actually had a ghost
sit on her and not let her up in a
(03:44):
haunted hotel in Pennsylvania until she screamed at the ghost. True,
So have you seen a ghost? And of course the movies?
What movie you dig? And the reason that this came
up was because I was searching around on television and
(04:04):
happened upon the Texas Chainsaw Masker from nineteen seventy four,
and I thought to myself, whoa, this might be the
gold standard of horror movies. But I had not thought
it through because I posted that, and other folks said,
oh no, the Exorcists or there are others, So I
think I was corrected and probably Texas Chainsaw Masker is
(04:27):
not the greatest Halloween movie. In fact, at the end,
it's just kind of gratuitous gore, which doesn't make does
not a good movie make? What do you like for Halloween?
All time great movies? Let's go too Jeff and Abington.
He's an Abingtonian.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
How Jeff, how are you good?
Speaker 7 (04:45):
How are you? I wanted to get back to the
all right.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
One quickie, very short.
Speaker 7 (04:51):
Where is it you can't walk without the without the bicycles?
Speaker 3 (04:56):
For asking you out in the field? Maybe with no
trails on the roof of a building.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
Maybe no, but you said you can't walk.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Oh where is it you can't walk? Where is it dangerous?
Speaker 7 (05:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Okay, walking down Huntington Avenue getting some takeout food. I
and this is the last call on this topic, no
matter what. Yeah, I get some takeout food. There was
a guy on an electric bike, I mean an electric scooter.
Let me finish, going about twenty miles an hour. We
(05:30):
even in and out. Just brushed hitting my jacket. If
he's hitting me, you know, I broke a hip terror
retina whatever.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
Yeah. Well, you know they were pushing us to ride bicycles.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Well, the bicycle is fine. I'm not addressing the bicycle.
I'm not even I'm not saying it's fine, not fine,
But we're not talking about bicycles.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
Well I am my, but I'm.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Not and I'm the boss.
Speaker 7 (05:53):
Yeah, I know, you know the careful what you wish for,
because this is what they wanted. Everybody to ride a bicycle,
but they were.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Not talking about bicycles. It's the powered vehicles. Thank you.
Should I have taken that call. Well, by the time
I knew what he wanted, it was too late. Back
to Halloween and Alex and milis Hi, Alex, what's up.
Speaker 8 (06:14):
Hey, Bradley. I'm glad to hear your voice.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I love you, Alex. I think it's so cool. I
love your voice. I love everything about you.
Speaker 8 (06:23):
Oh thanks. I think I'm a cat with not nine
lives but eighteen, because I've been to a lot last
year and I said, if I get out of this myth,
I'm gonna paint my house. Get up on the ladder,
sure enough, and you know, like three courses of the
way done. And that's that really relaxes me. Believe it
or not. I'm painting my house.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I do believe that. I you know, if I take starga.
But I really enjoy, not what people think I should enjoy,
not what I hear I should enjoy. There's some weird things.
For example, I like cleaning the house. I enjoy cleaning
the house. Don't tell anybody that, but I dig that. Well.
Speaker 8 (06:59):
Yeah, White treats it like a hospital. We have to
take our shoes off and you.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Know, you have to scrub up and wear rubber gloves. Hey,
we're talking about Halloween. What about what about Halloween movies
and Halloween stuff and ghosts and candy.
Speaker 8 (07:12):
I was going to tell you about Halloween. Back in
the day, I got dressed up. I won two hundred
dollars at I don't know if I can name the club.
Speaker 9 (07:22):
This was years ago.
Speaker 8 (07:23):
It was the Palace. I dressed up as a baby,
and you know, and the guy goes to me, Oh,
I've never seen such a hairy baby. He gave me,
you know, he gave me the prize.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
So I was you know, that's two hundred bucks. When
was that. That's a lot of money.
Speaker 8 (07:40):
Yeah, it was a lot of money. It was like,
you know, on Halloween, Actually it was it was on
Halloween one time. And but movies. I'm not a big
Halloween person. My son's too old to go trick or treating.
But I think a lot of it's macabre and it's
like sacrilegious of the stuff that you see, you know, uh,
(08:02):
you know, uh, I'm not sure, you know, I know
it's it's in, it's in good fun and everything, but
I don't know it. It doesn't doesn't really do anything.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Did you use the trigger treat.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
As a kid?
Speaker 6 (08:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Yeah, So what kind of candy did you like to get?
Speaker 8 (08:20):
I remember getting uh Eminem's and rollo those things.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I don't know, but stuff like that I've always had.
I've always had a lot of feelings in my teeth
and stuff like suck. Any food like that would pull
a pull a feelings out of my teeth. The most,
the most filling sucking candy was mint julips. There's something
if you like bite down. You get a soft mint
(08:48):
julip and you bite down and then you open your
mouth fast. It will pull out all your feelings.
Speaker 8 (08:53):
That makes a good air crash. I hated those things.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
And speaking of candies' necho wafers, I never got that.
They break your teeth. They don't have any taste, the dusty,
they're weird. I never got that.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
How about the one the snowcaps? Do you do you
remember that?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
I remember those? That's what you didn't you eat those?
The movies? That's a movie candy.
Speaker 9 (09:15):
Right, Yeah?
Speaker 8 (09:16):
Yeah, but you know I've seen a couple of Halloween movies,
but like I say, I'm not really a big Halloween guy.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Like, did you ever see a ghost?
Speaker 9 (09:29):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (09:30):
One time a friend when we were in school, we
went to a cemetery and we went with a friend
and it was dark, and he says to me, you know,
I saw something move And I says, oh, yeah, sure,
and he was he was petrified. And I guess he
(09:51):
said he saw a ghost. I didn't see it, but
he says when he went to the cemetery, he could
sense something, you know, and it wasn't It wasn't a person.
It was like an inanimate object or whatever.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
You know.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Well, I'm a very science oriented guy, and usually I
don't I don't believe in stuff. But for some reason,
I do not discount the ghost. I somehow feel like
it may be possible that there are ghosts. I don't
get it. I don't understand why, but I will entertain
the possibility that ghosts are real. And that one thing
I don't like. I don't like those ghost hunting shows
(10:26):
where the people they go in these dark areas and
they have these meters and instruments and they never find anything.
To me, those are boring shows.
Speaker 8 (10:38):
Do you do you think any do you have any
hold any validity as far as like people that are
clairvoyants or they can you know, tell you about your
you know, deceased relatives.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
That's a good question and the answer is I have
to say no. I mean, I acknowledge that could be wrong,
but I think it's fake. And you how do you
feel about that?
Speaker 8 (11:05):
I feel that you know, they're uh just uh trying
to beat the odds. It's I guess it's it's like
a poker.
Speaker 9 (11:14):
Game, you know.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
I mean, there's no way that they are able to
communicate with uh, you know, yeah dead.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I get it right, Alex, thank you so much. I
appreciate that. And as far as maybe I'm oversharing here,
but as far as future future tellers like Pomme Raders
and stuff, I would never go to that. I would
not want to know the future, would you. I would
not want to know. If it was good, I wouldn't
(11:44):
believe him, and if it was bad, I'd be worried.
And plus if it was bad, self fulfilling prophecy might
make it come true. We'll go to Rick and Bill
Rica next after this on WBZ.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Hi Georgie, what a nice bolting.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
It looks like a nice boy. I bet you have
a lot of friends.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Where's he?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I better, I could cheer him up.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I'll give him a balloon.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Do you want a balloon to Georgie?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Oh well, I'm penny Wise, the Dancing Cloud penny Wise. Yes,
meet Georgie, Georgie, Meet penny Wise. Now we aren't strangers.
Night Side with Dan Ray, I'm delling you Bzy Boston's
(12:29):
News Radio. Calfler.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Are you.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Traffler?
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Come out, come out wherever you are?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I love that. That's from Kate Fair with Robert de Nario.
Come out, come out, wherever you are. This is gonna
be good for you because you know, you know how
you always looking for stuff to watch on TV? What
do I watch? Now? What do you want to watch?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (12:56):
I don't know. Well, get a pan out because you're
gonna be hearing about it. Of movies, Cape Fear, which
is a remax, right, it's not the original. I'm not
a movie expert other than I watched a million of them.
So it's Halloween. Now we're talking to Halloween, your favorite
Halloween movie. We really haven't gotten to the movie part yet.
(13:18):
Your experiences as a kid with Halloween? Did you prank anybody?
Did they prank you? You candies, the candies you liked,
the candies you didn't like, and you know, even ghosts.
Have you ever seen a ghost? People? I would say
about half. Well, no, maybe that's a little high. Ten
percent of people have seen ghosts, is my guess. Guests,
(13:39):
how about you we go to first we go to
Rick and then Glenn rick in Bill.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Rickh Hey, Bradley, I be Friday night. Great to have
you tonight. I've never seen a ghost, but I think
you you're lucky if you get to see something like
a ghost. It sounds enchanting itself. I wish I have
not seen a ghost.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Have you? No, I probably never will. Maybe maybe I
won't because I think I won't. Maybe it's again self
fulfilling prophecy. Maybe I mean maybe if I thought I
would see a ghost, then I would. It seems like
it seems like people that see one ghost might see
more than one ghost.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
You know, the power of influence, it's it's it's amazing.
So Exorcist is the scariest movie I've ever seen in
my life. I mean, I haven't seen every single you know,
horror movie. Or Halloween movie or whatever you want to
call it, certainly, but that What Lies Beneath? Those are
(14:47):
pretty good, uh Thurlers. Even even the Night of the
Hunter with Robert mitch.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Is What's What? What Lies Beneath? What's that? One about.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Horror? And Ford's in it. He's a doctor. He's married
to this woman and he's cheating on her and something
happens and he might lose his job if I guess
the girl is going to report him, So he kills
the girl he was cheating on, and then the wife
finds out and he tries to kill her. I think
(15:20):
Michelle Peiffer is in the movie. I think she is.
And anyway, the girl that he kills, well, I don't
want to ruin the movie for any For those who
haven't seen it, it goes back at least twenty years
or more, probably the beginning of maybe twenty five years,
(15:43):
maybe two thousand and two, two thousand and one, something
like that. But it's Harrison Ford is in it, and
I'm going to leave it at that. I recommend that
you watch it if you haven't seen it. It's Harrison
Ford is a different type of character than we know.
(16:05):
You know he was celebrated as you know, the Cavalier
Han Solo and the Brave Archaeologists or whatever, and Raiders
the Loss. I got tons of other great movies that
he was in, but this is a different one. I
recommend it. I just wanted to say Halloween is always
(16:28):
a great time of year, and I have one recollection
my favorite Halloween and it was like, I think it
was n nineteen eighty two and Missing Persons just came
out with Spring Session m and I heard Words and
I was blown away by it. So I always think
of that album as a Halloween album. I just kind
of group it as a Halloween album. But it's a masterpiece,
(16:49):
is what it is. What about the song words?
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Yeah, By the way, I'm going to a Halloween party
and the guy that's putting it on asked me to
come up with Halloween songs and I haven't thought it
through yet. So I'll add to the list any Halloween
songs that anyone has that I can tell the guy
put on his list.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I know, I'll give you two more. Can I give
you two more of Eleanor McAvoy's Precious Little as Hunting Sounding.
It came out back in like ninety five, Eleanor McAvoy
and then uh, just something anything from I love the
they only come out at night. From Mega Winter, of
course we get Frankenstein Free, right, that's a masterpiece album.
(17:36):
And you know anything from from the record the Autumn.
Dan Hartman wrote that he was he was from Connecticut,
so he was a New Englander. But that's I always
think of Halloween. Of course Frankenstein's on it. That the
power of suggestion, as you said, you know, I'm thinking
it is. But it's a great record. But but yeah,
and so uh and Bob House, by the way, you
(18:01):
know your music, you're you're.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
You're going to say Bella Lugosi's Dead.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I actually owned a white marbled No, I didn't own it. It
was at the radio station, a white marbled twelve inch
of that song. That is when it comes to goth
bow House was the folks as a genre of music
called gloth, and the kings of that were Bowhouse, which
are named after a German school of art back in
(18:29):
the twenties or so. And there they have this big
long song called Bella Lugosi's Dead, and that is for
the Goth crowd. That is a smash hit. That's the
the core of Halloween for those folks. So that's a
good one. I'm surprised you. I'm surprised you know that.
So then you'll know you'll know check or trick or
(18:51):
Treat by Susie and the bench's right.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I know I don't go as deep as you do,
but I know I know the alternative pretty well. But
I didn't grow up. It was more of a pop rock,
you know, am Dale Dorman seventies and then of course
got some BCN from my brothers b CN in the
in the in the early eighties and Coz with Harvey
(19:15):
and all the great jocks. And you're up there too.
You're you're a group of the great jocks of Boston history.
And I heard you laugh. I think I listened. I
didn't listen to the whole last show of BCN. I
listened to most of it. I think I got the
last half an hour before you shut it down, and
I think I I think I was like, I'll save this,
(19:37):
I'll save this for for another night. But I think
it's the last fifteen minutes. I just going to watch that.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
You know what. That show exists and I have it
posted on mixed cloud if you if you contact me
on Facebook, I can tell you how to find it.
Do you remember the last song ever on that station
which I'm going.
Speaker 9 (19:58):
To find you.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I'm going to find out. I'm going to find out
what it is? Uh, unless I remember. The first one
was I Feel Fine from Cream I think I think free, Yeah,
I feel free, I Feel Free. And the last one
I think I may you know I might have listened to it.
I don't know if I listened to it to the end,
but you played and it wasn't something that was It
(20:19):
was something that I think I would have known. Uh,
I can't remember what.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Well, maybe I'll tell you before the end of the show.
Remind me, Okay, yes.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
And I'll listen to the to the last two. And
just is your music on YouTube? Real fast? Do you
have any of your Spotify?
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Spotify? And to Ignore the Machine Go? To Ignore the
Machine is one band of mine and Bridge Bender is
the other that's on Spotify. Thanks a lot. I want
to get back to the hall.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I will, I will, Okay.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Halfway through Halloween stuff and you can see Glenn. Glenn
was probably worried that I'd bring him in just before
the news and he'd have a short call, but because
I'm a dude, I managed it. So we'll do the
news now and Glenn will have clear sailing right after
the news.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
On w b Z, it's Liu, it's a vu.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
You're on the night side with Dan Ray on w
b Z, Boston's news radio.
Speaker 10 (21:37):
Wow, here's Johnny.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
You know, I keep forgetting Rob Brooks working the master
control there working the way. I keep forgetting he's gonna
play those and they scare me. I'm ready to say,
w busy, and then I hear the screams like what what? Oh, yeah,
we're playing those things. Those are from movies, horror movies.
I'm gonna go ahead and say, because because of a
time factor that unless you disagree with me, I'm gonna
(22:22):
go ahead and say, maybe Exorcist is the the number
one horror movie of all time. And a quick story
about that. I read the book way before I saw
the movie, and the book really scared me. This was
back when I was a youngster, just out of high school.
I was going to operating room technician school in Concord,
New Hampshire. I just lived in a room like somebody's
house for I don't know twenty five bucks some small
(22:46):
amount a week, and I was I was just out
of home. I'd never been away from home before. I
was poor, really poor, and I knew no one. So
my entertainment was I get I'd get a a brick
of cheddar, sharp cheese, some crackers, some clam dip, and
one bottle of apple malt duck. That was my evening entertainment.
(23:11):
And I would read the book The Exorcist, and it
was so scary I thought that I could become possessed.
I'm thinking, can I become possessed just from reading the book?
Because being possessed maybe a psychological thing, and maybe the
fear of being becoming possessed will make you become possessed.
So it kind of freaked me out. So there's that.
(23:34):
We add that to the movie. And there's another question,
does Jaws count as a horror movie? Rob Brooks and
I were asking that question of one another earlier. Does
Jaws count as a horror movie? And Glenn, I'll go
right to Glenn because he's been holding a while. Glenn,
what's going on? Well?
Speaker 6 (23:51):
I love you? Mentioned great songs because my favorite Halloween's
song came out October sixty four was Haunted House. I
think it was slim somebody Pickens or Slim Jim.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
You know the Slim Pickens. I don't know if he
did that. I don't know Haunted House, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
Yeah, it's the one about the guy goes you you
I own this house. You know I bought this house,
and you know I'm boss. Ain't no haint eh an
apostrophe t gonna run me off. It's the haint is
the Southern word for ghosts. I didn't want to go there.
Ta da. I can't remember all the lyrics going.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
If anybody knows the song that Glenn is referring to
help us out at six one seven, he was the.
Speaker 6 (24:40):
One hit wonder now that thing you played Rob, but
he's alive. He was that So we went green A.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Soilent Green says, Soilent's green is people.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
That's yeah, that's the last movie I saw it before
it was my sight. I saw it on acid. Yeah,
that was a scary. Man was a scary movie.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
So it's a life Who Rob? What's that is it
on the cut sheet? What it is from Frankenstein? Okay,
it's a lie. I bet you did some crazy stuff
in Halloween when you're a kid, gleam. It occurs to
me that you probably did, right.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
I did? I put uh, you know, I put lime
yellow in people summing pool filters.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
You put limes? Can you back up there? Lime yellow
in people's pool filters?
Speaker 6 (25:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:30):
And what does that do?
Speaker 6 (25:32):
It clogs up the pool?
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Did they ever like, did they ever know what clogged
up their pool? So where's the payoff there? It's not
Halloween either. All I think is, oh, my pool's clogged. Well,
and okay, what else did you do?
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (25:53):
None of the standard toilet papering or.
Speaker 6 (25:57):
No I said. I said, I set trash cands on fire.
And that was a little bit of a piro delinquent.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
It sounds like you were a gosh darn delinquent.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
I was a Helien Helien yeah, and now.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
You're still a little bit hellion esque. Yeah. So what
about a movie?
Speaker 6 (26:21):
Well, I've got changed though. A massacre was so bad
it was funny. It wasn't funny in the funny sense.
It's the one seventy four, Yeah it was.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
It was demented.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
Yeah. Now I got something you might find interesting. Somebody
gave me for my birthday an atomic talking watch and
it sounds like pretty Kruger, pretty cup with a dvan septum.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Nine that yes, play it again.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
The time is nine.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
And you say that sounds like what Freddy Krueger.
Speaker 6 (27:04):
With what a deviant septum.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Deviated system a septem would be an entirely different thing.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Obsolutly Yes, that was one of my best friends have
devas and.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
All respect to anyone who happens to have a deviated septum.
We're not making fun. So okay, what about ghosts? What
about ghost clan? You seem like a person who might
see a ghost.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
No.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
Well, in my net when I was eleven years old
and sixty four, I was Gasper the friendly ghost. My
older sister took me a trick or treating. Oh and
my favorite candy is circuit peanuts in candy corns circus.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Catch me up on circus peanuts. I can't remember what they.
Speaker 6 (27:52):
They're shaped like a peanut and the different.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Coins, those big orange peanuts. Yes, that looked like clown
feet kind of right, that was are weird because you
think you think you're gonna like them, and you're like
one of them, and then and that's it. But the
candy corn candy corn is an interesting thing too. You'd
say you have one bite and you think, what am
I doing? What am I doing to myself? I'm killing myself.
(28:17):
And I don't really even like you.
Speaker 6 (28:20):
Oh I love them, but I mean, you tell me
once a year. It's not like you do it all year.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
I wonder why candy corn is associated with Halloween.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
That's a good question.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
I wonder why. Well, you know what corn is, something
harvested in the fall. Maybe that's it.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
Oh yeah, but I think I mean corn like corn
on the cob. I mean candy corns are shape like
like like a cone.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Type, the shape like teeth to me? Right, all right?
Anything else? Brother? Are you okay? You're good.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
Well, I'm hanging in there.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
I mean, okay, Well, I'm glad. I'm glad you reported in.
Thanks brother, take care before we go to the break,
before we get to Audrey. I know you've been on
hold a while and Mike and Totten, and that leaves
another open line. I want to tell you about this
Halloween event coming up at the Coolest Corner theater. I
almost forgot about this, but there's a local woman who
(29:19):
became a big star and starred in Child's play too,
and she's going to be in person at a thirty
five millimeters showing of Child's Play too at the Coolest
Corner Cinema Coolest Corner Theater on October twenty three. I
already bought my ticket. And Christina Lesse is from around here,
(29:41):
like the Hyde Park area, and I knew her when
she worked at Photo Patio in Cleveland Circle and she
was cool. She made these cool mixtapes and had rock
and roll hair, and first thing I know, she moved
out to Hollywood to become a star, and she did.
(30:04):
And that's the same Christina Elise that was in Hollywood
nine oh two, one oh and a bunch of other stuff,
and the same Christina Elise that you can see at
Coolidge Corner Theater on October twenty three, And she's there's
going to be a thirty five millimeters showing of Child's
Plate two to celebrate Halloween, I guess, and she will
(30:27):
be there in person, which is kind of cool. After this,
we'll go right to Audrey and Bill and then no sorry,
Audrey and Mike and then Bill on WBZY.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
It's Night Side with Dan Ray on w b Boston's
news radio.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
Datum just get in the car.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Hello, Sydney, Hi, who's this you're telling me?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Well, I have no IDEA scary night, isn't it? With
the murders and all, It's like right out of a
horror movie or something.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Randy, you gave yourself away. Are you calling from work?
Because datum is not my way over? Do you like
scary movie, Sydney? I like that thing you're doing with
your voice, Randy, it's sexy.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
What's your favorite scary movie?
Speaker 5 (31:50):
Come on, you know I don't watch Sidney Too Scared. No, No,
it's just what's the point. They're all the same, some
stupid killers talking, some big breasted girl who can I's
alway running up the stairs when she should be going
out the front doors and something.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Huh. Well, there you go. Happy Halloween everyone. I think
this is the only time I'll be on before Halloween,
so this is a good time to talk about Halloween
stuff kicking off the season and the stores you see
all the fake cobwebs and the skeletons and all that.
Once again, I point out that Halloween is weird for
the rest of the year. Everyone's very careful about triggers
(32:26):
and this and that. Oh you don't want to see
this on TV Parental controls. But on Halloween you walk
by house after house with gore and gruesomeness and it's funny.
Isn't that weird? Okay, So have you got a favorite
Halloween movie? I gotta think Excess is probably the greatest
of all time. But you know, I kind of prefer
(32:46):
the ones in a cabin in the woods where these
kind of backwards people are trying to get in the cabin.
I can't think of a one exactly, but that's kind
of thing I like. Also, uh, experiences from Halloween candies.
(33:07):
You're like, did you ever see a ghost? Anything spooky?
We go to Audrey right away, Audrey and weymouth Hi, Audrey.
Speaker 11 (33:16):
Hi, it's Audrey.
Speaker 5 (33:18):
Hi.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
Hi.
Speaker 6 (33:22):
The shining Oh yeah, that's a that's right up there.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
That is spooky. As Rob Brooks pointed out the match
control operator here, it's a slow build, a slow burner,
doesn't happen right away. It's one of those artfully constructed
scary movies.
Speaker 11 (33:42):
And I always thought the movie Birds, oh yeah, yeah,
that was one that I was okay with.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
But what about.
Speaker 11 (34:00):
Yes Cycle?
Speaker 3 (34:01):
I forgot about that?
Speaker 11 (34:03):
Yeah. Well, oh, living in southeast in the eighties going
trick or treaty and the clowns that were apparently in
this this van going around. That was like the true story.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
So the clown story. Tell me the clown story.
Speaker 9 (34:28):
The towns like.
Speaker 11 (34:32):
They were, they were like murderous. It was supposed to
be real, like like it really was happening that the
clowns are, you know, would grab someone, take them the
van and like they would just I didn't.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Know about that. That was the thing South Boston South Yeah,
what year?
Speaker 11 (34:53):
What time period around the eighties or early eighties? Yeah,
early eighties.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
I didn't know about that. Hey, have you before you go,
I have ever seen a ghost? No, you don't know
anyone who saw a ghost?
Speaker 11 (35:14):
You believe a ghost?
Speaker 2 (35:15):
You know.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
I am not dismissive completely. I'm a big science guy,
and I don't believe in a lot of stuff. But
somehow enough people that I've respective seeing ghosts, So I
don't I don't know what to think.
Speaker 11 (35:30):
Yeah, yep, I wouldn't be able to see it.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
Well, no, they're not invisible because people see him. All right,
Thank you so much, Audrey and Waynemoth. I appreciate it.
And now it's Mike and Taunton. He's a Tontonian. How
do you do, Mike?
Speaker 9 (35:48):
All right, Bradley, good to meet you again. Like, well, uh,
you must be a medium.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Why did I read your mind?
Speaker 9 (35:58):
Yeah, doc got it. I was gonna tell you about
the two scariest movies I ever saw, and one was
The Exorcist. That's number one. Number two. Number two was Jaws.
I used to be a certified scuba diver for you know,
you know, recreation. I haven't gotten the ocean since that
(36:19):
movie came out.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Oh my god, wow, at all at all, at all
at all, and living near the cape, I mean, you're
here shark sightings, jock size.
Speaker 9 (36:27):
Why would I want to go into salt water where
potentially there are sharks.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Well, so you went to all the trouble to become
certified as a diver, which is a lot of trouble.
You had the equipment and everything, you spent the time,
you got the skill, and then Jaws comes out and
you're all done, all done.
Speaker 9 (36:45):
Put it next, yeah, yeah, put it next right to it.
It really did. Second thing is candy New England Confectionery Company.
I used to like the neck a wayfirst, only the chocolate.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
Okay, you're gonna have to explain that to me. They
were like little flat rocks and they didn't have any taste,
and they had this dust.
Speaker 6 (37:05):
On it and they ate.
Speaker 9 (37:10):
Yeah. I know, but I was young.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
But there's plenty of other candy to appreciate out.
Speaker 9 (37:15):
There other than that chunky Chunky's love.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
That chunkies love the raisin Chunkies.
Speaker 9 (37:20):
Yes, all right, and let me see Turkish taffy. I
didn't really care about.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Taffy terrible, but what about this? I just I just
remembered another one. I remember sugar Babies and Sugar Daddy.
Speaker 12 (37:35):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I was what was the
Boston Big Beans. Yeah, they were like candy.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
I guess I'm a tooth sensitive guy, because that was
another one, that tooth breaker. I'm I think we're candy
in terms of will they break my teeth or suck
out my feelings?
Speaker 9 (37:56):
Well, the only one I ever ever ever got toothaches.
Every time I ate one of L's Milky Way bars,
I always wound up with a too day.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
That is so weird, all right, So.
Speaker 9 (38:10):
Oh yeah, quick, yeah, yeah, I believe I did, but
I was much younger. It was a parent the old
house that we lived in and yeah, I believe I did.
It was just an aperation nothing really, that's.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
Apparition equal ghosts. Okay, thanks a lot, Mike, I appreciate it.
You know, Wayne and Jane. I don't know if you
can call back later, but well, we got to move on.
I have only about forty seconds. Really, we're gonna talk
about why why you like music? What about your brain
makes you like music. We have an actual professor every
(38:44):
type of person going to address that. He wrote a
book on it. Also really quickly. I don't know if
you're into this, but I'm going to be performing at
the Burn doing a John Lennon tribute thing. I'm not
getting paid or anything, but I'm gonna go ahead and
perform a John Lennon's song the Burn on the ninth.
I don't know if you're going to be around. I
don't know if it's sold out, but I'll be there.
(39:05):
I'll be nervous if you want to see. So coming up,
we're talking about music and neurologically, why do we like
music
It's Night Side with Dan Ray on w b Z,
Boston's news radio has.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Gotten worse since I phoned you, I think about upstairs.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Do you having the spans again? Did you give her
the medication?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
That was riddling?
Speaker 4 (00:45):
All right, hey boy.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Disclaimer that those are clips from movies, because we're talking Halloween,
and it was pretty weird to hear that. It's WBZ
News Radio ten thirty. I'm Bradley Jay and for Dan
all Knight said, and we're talking Halloween. I go into
the stores, Boom, Halloween. It's Halloween. All of a sudden,
(01:13):
Halloween is weird. Rest of the year, we watch a movie,
we get we have to get parental advisories on every
little thing, smoking, bad thoughts, bad feelings, et cetera. But
during Halloween, you walk by people's yard and there's, you know,
figures of people half buried. There's all kinds of horrible
(01:37):
things that you get at the stores. And that's okay
for one month. Death and bad stuff is fun. Rest
of the year not so much so. In the spirit
of Halloween. I wanna hear I'm gonna take a little
pole find out what this particular group of folks that
would be you believes this is the greatest. What are
(02:00):
your favorite Halloween movie? And even if someone mentions the
one you were going to mention, I need you to
mention it again so you can vote for it. But
also in the you know, related topics, related stuff, Halloween stuff.
Did you ever get pranked? Did you ever get tricked
(02:22):
or treated tricked? Or did you ever do a Halloween prank?
Did you ever perpetrate a Halloween prank? What was it?
This will probably be your only chance to tell that story.
It doesn't come up very much. Nobody asks you that
except me now, so tell me now. It's six one, seven, two, five, four,
ten thirty. Also, you go trick or treating, what was
(02:43):
the candy you wanted? And what was the candy or
whatever you didn't want? Of course, any full sized candy
bar was desirable. What was undesirable was the apple? Oh kid,
no kid wanted an apple? No kid? Everyone? Oh thank god,
that's an apple. I wanted an apple. I've been looking
(03:05):
for an apple all night long. Here you go, clunk
in the bag. Apple, you know, not a big treat. Also,
some of those candies from back in your day are gone.
Some of the remember the white chocolate he wants? What
were those?
Speaker 5 (03:22):
That?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Polar bar, zero bar, all those were a fair game.
Wilch's fudge bar was a favorite of mine. Chunky. You
know what about you? And have you ever seen a ghost?
A lot of you have seen a ghost? My significant
others since it's seen a ghost, actually had a ghost
sit on her and not let her up in a
(03:44):
haunted hotel in Pennsylvania until she screamed at the ghost. True,
So have you seen a ghost? And of course the movies?
What movie you dig? And the reason that this came
up was because I was searching around on television and
(04:04):
happened upon the Texas Chainsaw Masker from nineteen seventy four,
and I thought to myself, whoa, this might be the
gold standard of horror movies. But I had not thought
it through because I posted that, and other folks said,
oh no, the Exorcists or there are others, So I
think I was corrected and probably Texas Chainsaw Masker is
(04:27):
not the greatest Halloween movie. In fact, at the end,
it's just kind of gratuitous gore, which doesn't make does
not a good movie make? What do you like for Halloween?
All time great movies? Let's go too Jeff and Abington.
He's an Abingtonian.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
How Jeff, how are you good?
Speaker 7 (04:45):
How are you? I wanted to get back to the
all right.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
One quickie, very short.
Speaker 7 (04:51):
Where is it you can't walk without the without the bicycles?
Speaker 3 (04:56):
For asking you out in the field? Maybe with no
trails on the roof of a building.
Speaker 7 (05:02):
Maybe no, but you said you can't walk.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Oh where is it you can't walk? Where is it dangerous?
Speaker 7 (05:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Okay, walking down Huntington Avenue getting some takeout food. I
and this is the last call on this topic, no
matter what. Yeah, I get some takeout food. There was
a guy on an electric bike, I mean an electric scooter.
Let me finish, going about twenty miles an hour. We
(05:30):
even in and out. Just brushed hitting my jacket. If
he's hitting me, you know, I broke a hip terror
retina whatever.
Speaker 7 (05:36):
Yeah. Well, you know they were pushing us to ride bicycles.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Well, the bicycle is fine. I'm not addressing the bicycle.
I'm not even I'm not saying it's fine, not fine,
But we're not talking about bicycles.
Speaker 7 (05:48):
Well I am my, but I'm.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Not and I'm the boss.
Speaker 7 (05:53):
Yeah, I know, you know the careful what you wish for,
because this is what they wanted. Everybody to ride a bicycle,
but they were.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
Not talking about bicycles. It's the powered vehicles. Thank you.
Should I have taken that call. Well, by the time
I knew what he wanted, it was too late. Back
to Halloween and Alex and milis Hi, Alex, what's up.
Speaker 8 (06:14):
Hey, Bradley. I'm glad to hear your voice.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
I love you, Alex. I think it's so cool. I
love your voice. I love everything about you.
Speaker 8 (06:23):
Oh thanks. I think I'm a cat with not nine
lives but eighteen, because I've been to a lot last
year and I said, if I get out of this myth,
I'm gonna paint my house. Get up on the ladder,
sure enough, and you know, like three courses of the
way done. And that's that really relaxes me. Believe it
or not. I'm painting my house.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I do believe that. I you know, if I take starga.
But I really enjoy, not what people think I should enjoy,
not what I hear I should enjoy. There's some weird things.
For example, I like cleaning the house. I enjoy cleaning
the house. Don't tell anybody that, but I dig that. Well.
Speaker 8 (06:59):
Yeah, White treats it like a hospital. We have to
take our shoes off and you.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Know, you have to scrub up and wear rubber gloves. Hey,
we're talking about Halloween. What about what about Halloween movies
and Halloween stuff and ghosts and candy.
Speaker 8 (07:12):
I was going to tell you about Halloween. Back in
the day, I got dressed up. I won two hundred
dollars at I don't know if I can name the club.
Speaker 9 (07:22):
This was years ago.
Speaker 8 (07:23):
It was the Palace. I dressed up as a baby,
and you know, and the guy goes to me, Oh,
I've never seen such a hairy baby. He gave me,
you know, he gave me the prize.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
So I was you know, that's two hundred bucks. When
was that. That's a lot of money.
Speaker 8 (07:40):
Yeah, it was a lot of money. It was like,
you know, on Halloween, Actually it was it was on
Halloween one time. And but movies. I'm not a big
Halloween person. My son's too old to go trick or treating.
But I think a lot of it's macabre and it's
like sacrilegious of the stuff that you see, you know, uh,
(08:02):
you know, uh, I'm not sure, you know, I know
it's it's in, it's in good fun and everything, but
I don't know it. It doesn't doesn't really do anything.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Did you use the trigger treat.
Speaker 8 (08:15):
As a kid?
Speaker 6 (08:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:16):
Yeah, So what kind of candy did you like to get?
Speaker 8 (08:20):
I remember getting uh Eminem's and rollo those things.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
I don't know, but stuff like that I've always had.
I've always had a lot of feelings in my teeth
and stuff like suck. Any food like that would pull
a pull a feelings out of my teeth. The most,
the most filling sucking candy was mint julips. There's something
if you like bite down. You get a soft mint
(08:48):
julip and you bite down and then you open your
mouth fast. It will pull out all your feelings.
Speaker 8 (08:53):
That makes a good air crash. I hated those things.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
And speaking of candies' necho wafers, I never got that.
They break your teeth. They don't have any taste, the dusty,
they're weird. I never got that.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
How about the one the snowcaps? Do you do you
remember that?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
I remember those? That's what you didn't you eat those?
The movies? That's a movie candy.
Speaker 9 (09:15):
Right, Yeah?
Speaker 8 (09:16):
Yeah, but you know I've seen a couple of Halloween movies,
but like I say, I'm not really a big Halloween guy.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Like, did you ever see a ghost?
Speaker 9 (09:29):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (09:30):
One time a friend when we were in school, we
went to a cemetery and we went with a friend
and it was dark, and he says to me, you know,
I saw something move And I says, oh, yeah, sure,
and he was he was petrified. And I guess he
(09:51):
said he saw a ghost. I didn't see it, but
he says when he went to the cemetery, he could
sense something, you know, and it wasn't It wasn't a person.
It was like an inanimate object or whatever.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
You know.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
Well, I'm a very science oriented guy, and usually I
don't I don't believe in stuff. But for some reason,
I do not discount the ghost. I somehow feel like
it may be possible that there are ghosts. I don't
get it. I don't understand why, but I will entertain
the possibility that ghosts are real. And that one thing
I don't like. I don't like those ghost hunting shows
(10:26):
where the people they go in these dark areas and
they have these meters and instruments and they never find anything.
To me, those are boring shows.
Speaker 8 (10:38):
Do you do you think any do you have any
hold any validity as far as like people that are
clairvoyants or they can you know, tell you about your
you know, deceased relatives.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
That's a good question and the answer is I have
to say no. I mean, I acknowledge that could be wrong,
but I think it's fake. And you how do you
feel about that?
Speaker 8 (11:05):
I feel that you know, they're uh just uh trying
to beat the odds. It's I guess it's it's like
a poker.
Speaker 9 (11:14):
Game, you know.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
I mean, there's no way that they are able to
communicate with uh, you know, yeah dead.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I get it right, Alex, thank you so much. I
appreciate that. And as far as maybe I'm oversharing here,
but as far as future future tellers like Pomme Raders
and stuff, I would never go to that. I would
not want to know the future, would you. I would
not want to know. If it was good, I wouldn't
(11:44):
believe him, and if it was bad, I'd be worried.
And plus if it was bad, self fulfilling prophecy might
make it come true. We'll go to Rick and Bill
Rica next after this on WBZ.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Hi Georgie, what a nice bolting.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
It looks like a nice boy. I bet you have
a lot of friends.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
Where's he?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
I better, I could cheer him up.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I'll give him a balloon.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Do you want a balloon to Georgie?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Oh well, I'm penny Wise, the Dancing Cloud penny Wise. Yes,
meet Georgie, Georgie, Meet penny Wise. Now we aren't strangers.
Night Side with Dan Ray, I'm delling you Bzy Boston's
(12:29):
News Radio. Calfler.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Are you.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Traffler?
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Come out, come out wherever you are?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
I love that. That's from Kate Fair with Robert de Nario.
Come out, come out, wherever you are. This is gonna
be good for you because you know, you know how
you always looking for stuff to watch on TV? What
do I watch? Now? What do you want to watch?
Speaker 4 (12:56):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (12:56):
I don't know. Well, get a pan out because you're
gonna be hearing about it. Of movies, Cape Fear, which
is a remax, right, it's not the original. I'm not
a movie expert other than I watched a million of them.
So it's Halloween. Now we're talking to Halloween, your favorite
Halloween movie. We really haven't gotten to the movie part yet.
(13:18):
Your experiences as a kid with Halloween? Did you prank anybody?
Did they prank you? You candies, the candies you liked,
the candies you didn't like, and you know, even ghosts.
Have you ever seen a ghost? People? I would say
about half. Well, no, maybe that's a little high. Ten
percent of people have seen ghosts, is my guess. Guests,
(13:39):
how about you we go to first we go to
Rick and then Glenn rick in Bill.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Rickh Hey, Bradley, I be Friday night. Great to have
you tonight. I've never seen a ghost, but I think
you you're lucky if you get to see something like
a ghost. It sounds enchanting itself. I wish I have
not seen a ghost.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Have you? No, I probably never will. Maybe maybe I
won't because I think I won't. Maybe it's again self
fulfilling prophecy. Maybe I mean maybe if I thought I
would see a ghost, then I would. It seems like
it seems like people that see one ghost might see
more than one ghost.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
You know, the power of influence, it's it's it's amazing.
So Exorcist is the scariest movie I've ever seen in
my life. I mean, I haven't seen every single you know,
horror movie. Or Halloween movie or whatever you want to
call it, certainly, but that What Lies Beneath? Those are
(14:47):
pretty good, uh Thurlers. Even even the Night of the
Hunter with Robert mitch.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Is What's What? What Lies Beneath? What's that? One about.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Horror? And Ford's in it. He's a doctor. He's married
to this woman and he's cheating on her and something
happens and he might lose his job if I guess
the girl is going to report him, So he kills
the girl he was cheating on, and then the wife
finds out and he tries to kill her. I think
(15:20):
Michelle Peiffer is in the movie. I think she is.
And anyway, the girl that he kills, well, I don't
want to ruin the movie for any For those who
haven't seen it, it goes back at least twenty years
or more, probably the beginning of maybe twenty five years,
(15:43):
maybe two thousand and two, two thousand and one, something
like that. But it's Harrison Ford is in it, and
I'm going to leave it at that. I recommend that
you watch it if you haven't seen it. It's Harrison
Ford is a different type of character than we know.
(16:05):
You know he was celebrated as you know, the Cavalier
Han Solo and the Brave Archaeologists or whatever, and Raiders
the Loss. I got tons of other great movies that
he was in, but this is a different one. I
recommend it. I just wanted to say Halloween is always
(16:28):
a great time of year, and I have one recollection
my favorite Halloween and it was like, I think it
was n nineteen eighty two and Missing Persons just came
out with Spring Session m and I heard Words and
I was blown away by it. So I always think
of that album as a Halloween album. I just kind
of group it as a Halloween album. But it's a masterpiece,
(16:49):
is what it is. What about the song words?
Speaker 3 (16:51):
Yeah, By the way, I'm going to a Halloween party
and the guy that's putting it on asked me to
come up with Halloween songs and I haven't thought it
through yet. So I'll add to the list any Halloween
songs that anyone has that I can tell the guy
put on his list.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
I know, I'll give you two more. Can I give
you two more of Eleanor McAvoy's Precious Little as Hunting Sounding.
It came out back in like ninety five, Eleanor McAvoy
and then uh, just something anything from I love the
they only come out at night. From Mega Winter, of
course we get Frankenstein Free, right, that's a masterpiece album.
(17:36):
And you know anything from from the record the Autumn.
Dan Hartman wrote that he was he was from Connecticut,
so he was a New Englander. But that's I always
think of Halloween. Of course Frankenstein's on it. That the
power of suggestion, as you said, you know, I'm thinking
it is. But it's a great record. But but yeah,
and so uh and Bob House, by the way, you
(18:01):
know your music, you're you're.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
You're going to say Bella Lugosi's Dead.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Yes, that's right.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
I actually owned a white marbled No, I didn't own it. It
was at the radio station, a white marbled twelve inch
of that song. That is when it comes to goth
bow House was the folks as a genre of music
called gloth, and the kings of that were Bowhouse, which
are named after a German school of art back in
(18:29):
the twenties or so. And there they have this big
long song called Bella Lugosi's Dead, and that is for
the Goth crowd. That is a smash hit. That's the
the core of Halloween for those folks. So that's a
good one. I'm surprised you. I'm surprised you know that.
So then you'll know you'll know check or trick or
(18:51):
Treat by Susie and the bench's right.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
I know I don't go as deep as you do,
but I know I know the alternative pretty well. But
I didn't grow up. It was more of a pop rock,
you know, am Dale Dorman seventies and then of course
got some BCN from my brothers b CN in the
in the in the early eighties and Coz with Harvey
(19:15):
and all the great jocks. And you're up there too.
You're you're a group of the great jocks of Boston history.
And I heard you laugh. I think I listened. I
didn't listen to the whole last show of BCN. I
listened to most of it. I think I got the
last half an hour before you shut it down, and
I think I I think I was like, I'll save this,
(19:37):
I'll save this for for another night. But I think
it's the last fifteen minutes. I just going to watch that.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
You know what. That show exists and I have it
posted on mixed cloud if you if you contact me
on Facebook, I can tell you how to find it.
Do you remember the last song ever on that station
which I'm going.
Speaker 9 (19:58):
To find you.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
I'm going to find out. I'm going to find out
what it is? Uh, unless I remember. The first one
was I Feel Fine from Cream I think I think free, Yeah,
I feel free, I Feel Free. And the last one
I think I may you know I might have listened to it.
I don't know if I listened to it to the end,
but you played and it wasn't something that was It
(20:19):
was something that I think I would have known. Uh,
I can't remember what.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Well, maybe I'll tell you before the end of the show.
Remind me, Okay, yes.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
And I'll listen to the to the last two. And
just is your music on YouTube? Real fast? Do you
have any of your Spotify?
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Spotify? And to Ignore the Machine Go? To Ignore the
Machine is one band of mine and Bridge Bender is
the other that's on Spotify. Thanks a lot. I want
to get back to the hall.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
I will, I will, Okay.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Halfway through Halloween stuff and you can see Glenn. Glenn
was probably worried that I'd bring him in just before
the news and he'd have a short call, but because
I'm a dude, I managed it. So we'll do the
news now and Glenn will have clear sailing right after
the news.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
On w b Z, it's Liu, it's a vu.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
You're on the night side with Dan Ray on w
b Z, Boston's news radio.
Speaker 10 (21:37):
Wow, here's Johnny.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
You know, I keep forgetting Rob Brooks working the master
control there working the way. I keep forgetting he's gonna
play those and they scare me. I'm ready to say,
w busy, and then I hear the screams like what what? Oh, yeah,
we're playing those things. Those are from movies, horror movies.
I'm gonna go ahead and say, because because of a
time factor that unless you disagree with me, I'm gonna
(22:22):
go ahead and say, maybe Exorcist is the the number
one horror movie of all time. And a quick story
about that. I read the book way before I saw
the movie, and the book really scared me. This was
back when I was a youngster, just out of high school.
I was going to operating room technician school in Concord,
New Hampshire. I just lived in a room like somebody's
house for I don't know twenty five bucks some small
(22:46):
amount a week, and I was I was just out
of home. I'd never been away from home before. I
was poor, really poor, and I knew no one. So
my entertainment was I get I'd get a a brick
of cheddar, sharp cheese, some crackers, some clam dip, and
one bottle of apple malt duck. That was my evening entertainment.
(23:11):
And I would read the book The Exorcist, and it
was so scary I thought that I could become possessed.
I'm thinking, can I become possessed just from reading the book?
Because being possessed maybe a psychological thing, and maybe the
fear of being becoming possessed will make you become possessed.
So it kind of freaked me out. So there's that.
(23:34):
We add that to the movie. And there's another question,
does Jaws count as a horror movie? Rob Brooks and
I were asking that question of one another earlier. Does
Jaws count as a horror movie? And Glenn, I'll go
right to Glenn because he's been holding a while. Glenn,
what's going on? Well?
Speaker 6 (23:51):
I love you? Mentioned great songs because my favorite Halloween's
song came out October sixty four was Haunted House. I
think it was slim somebody Pickens or Slim Jim.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
You know the Slim Pickens. I don't know if he
did that. I don't know Haunted House, I don't know.
Speaker 6 (24:11):
Yeah, it's the one about the guy goes you you
I own this house. You know I bought this house,
and you know I'm boss. Ain't no haint eh an
apostrophe t gonna run me off. It's the haint is
the Southern word for ghosts. I didn't want to go there.
Ta da. I can't remember all the lyrics going.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
If anybody knows the song that Glenn is referring to
help us out at six one seven, he was the.
Speaker 6 (24:40):
One hit wonder now that thing you played Rob, but
he's alive. He was that So we went green A.
Speaker 3 (24:48):
Soilent Green says, Soilent's green is people.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
That's yeah, that's the last movie I saw it before
it was my sight. I saw it on acid. Yeah,
that was a scary. Man was a scary movie.
Speaker 3 (25:01):
So it's a life Who Rob? What's that is it
on the cut sheet? What it is from Frankenstein? Okay,
it's a lie. I bet you did some crazy stuff
in Halloween when you're a kid, gleam. It occurs to
me that you probably did, right.
Speaker 6 (25:18):
I did? I put uh, you know, I put lime
yellow in people summing pool filters.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
You put limes? Can you back up there? Lime yellow
in people's pool filters?
Speaker 6 (25:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:30):
And what does that do?
Speaker 6 (25:32):
It clogs up the pool?
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Did they ever like, did they ever know what clogged
up their pool? So where's the payoff there? It's not
Halloween either. All I think is, oh, my pool's clogged. Well,
and okay, what else did you do?
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (25:53):
None of the standard toilet papering or.
Speaker 6 (25:57):
No I said. I said, I set trash cands on fire.
And that was a little bit of a piro delinquent.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
It sounds like you were a gosh darn delinquent.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
I was a Helien Helien yeah, and now.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
You're still a little bit hellion esque. Yeah. So what
about a movie?
Speaker 6 (26:21):
Well, I've got changed though. A massacre was so bad
it was funny. It wasn't funny in the funny sense.
It's the one seventy four, Yeah it was.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
It was demented.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
Yeah. Now I got something you might find interesting. Somebody
gave me for my birthday an atomic talking watch and
it sounds like pretty Kruger, pretty cup with a dvan septum.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Nine that yes, play it again.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
The time is nine.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
And you say that sounds like what Freddy Krueger.
Speaker 6 (27:04):
With what a deviant septum.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Deviated system a septem would be an entirely different thing.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Obsolutly Yes, that was one of my best friends have
devas and.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
All respect to anyone who happens to have a deviated septum.
We're not making fun. So okay, what about ghosts? What
about ghost clan? You seem like a person who might
see a ghost.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
No.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
Well, in my net when I was eleven years old
and sixty four, I was Gasper the friendly ghost. My
older sister took me a trick or treating. Oh and
my favorite candy is circuit peanuts in candy corns circus.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
Catch me up on circus peanuts. I can't remember what they.
Speaker 6 (27:52):
They're shaped like a peanut and the different.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Coins, those big orange peanuts. Yes, that looked like clown
feet kind of right, that was are weird because you
think you think you're gonna like them, and you're like
one of them, and then and that's it. But the
candy corn candy corn is an interesting thing too. You'd
say you have one bite and you think, what am
I doing? What am I doing to myself? I'm killing myself.
(28:17):
And I don't really even like you.
Speaker 6 (28:20):
Oh I love them, but I mean, you tell me
once a year. It's not like you do it all year.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
I wonder why candy corn is associated with Halloween.
Speaker 6 (28:28):
That's a good question.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
I wonder why. Well, you know what corn is, something
harvested in the fall. Maybe that's it.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
Oh yeah, but I think I mean corn like corn
on the cob. I mean candy corns are shape like
like like a cone.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Type, the shape like teeth to me? Right, all right?
Anything else? Brother? Are you okay? You're good.
Speaker 6 (28:52):
Well, I'm hanging in there.
Speaker 3 (28:55):
I mean, okay, Well, I'm glad. I'm glad you reported in.
Thanks brother, take care before we go to the break,
before we get to Audrey. I know you've been on
hold a while and Mike and Totten, and that leaves
another open line. I want to tell you about this
Halloween event coming up at the Coolest Corner theater. I
almost forgot about this, but there's a local woman who
(29:19):
became a big star and starred in Child's play too,
and she's going to be in person at a thirty
five millimeters showing of Child's Play too at the Coolest
Corner Cinema Coolest Corner Theater on October twenty three. I
already bought my ticket. And Christina Lesse is from around here,
(29:41):
like the Hyde Park area, and I knew her when
she worked at Photo Patio in Cleveland Circle and she
was cool. She made these cool mixtapes and had rock
and roll hair, and first thing I know, she moved
out to Hollywood to become a star, and she did.
(30:04):
And that's the same Christina Elise that was in Hollywood
nine oh two, one oh and a bunch of other stuff,
and the same Christina Elise that you can see at
Coolidge Corner Theater on October twenty three, And she's there's
going to be a thirty five millimeters showing of Child's
Plate two to celebrate Halloween, I guess, and she will
(30:27):
be there in person, which is kind of cool. After this,
we'll go right to Audrey and Bill and then no sorry,
Audrey and Mike and then Bill on WBZY.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
It's Night Side with Dan Ray on w b Boston's
news radio.
Speaker 5 (31:16):
Datum just get in the car.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
Hello, Sydney, Hi, who's this you're telling me?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Well, I have no IDEA scary night, isn't it? With
the murders and all, It's like right out of a
horror movie or something.
Speaker 5 (31:37):
Randy, you gave yourself away. Are you calling from work?
Because datum is not my way over? Do you like
scary movie, Sydney? I like that thing you're doing with
your voice, Randy, it's sexy.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
What's your favorite scary movie?
Speaker 5 (31:50):
Come on, you know I don't watch Sidney Too Scared. No, No,
it's just what's the point. They're all the same, some
stupid killers talking, some big breasted girl who can I's
alway running up the stairs when she should be going
out the front doors and something.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Huh. Well, there you go. Happy Halloween everyone. I think
this is the only time I'll be on before Halloween,
so this is a good time to talk about Halloween
stuff kicking off the season and the stores you see
all the fake cobwebs and the skeletons and all that.
Once again, I point out that Halloween is weird for
the rest of the year. Everyone's very careful about triggers
(32:26):
and this and that. Oh you don't want to see
this on TV Parental controls. But on Halloween you walk
by house after house with gore and gruesomeness and it's funny.
Isn't that weird? Okay, So have you got a favorite
Halloween movie? I gotta think Excess is probably the greatest
of all time. But you know, I kind of prefer
(32:46):
the ones in a cabin in the woods where these
kind of backwards people are trying to get in the cabin.
I can't think of a one exactly, but that's kind
of thing I like. Also, uh, experiences from Halloween candies.
(33:07):
You're like, did you ever see a ghost? Anything spooky?
We go to Audrey right away, Audrey and weymouth Hi, Audrey.
Speaker 11 (33:16):

Hi.
Speaker 6 (33:22):
The shining Oh yeah, that's a that's right up there.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
That is spooky. As Rob Brooks pointed out the match
control operator here, it's a slow build, a slow burner,
doesn't happen right away. It's one of those artfully constructed
scary movies.
Speaker 11 (33:42):
And I always thought the movie Birds, oh yeah, yeah,
that was one that I was okay with.
Speaker 4 (33:54):
But what about.
Speaker 11 (34:00):
Yes Cycle?
Speaker 3 (34:01):
I forgot about that?
Speaker 11 (34:03):
Yeah. Well, oh, living in southeast in the eighties going
trick or treaty and the clowns that were apparently in
this this van going around. That was like the true story.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
So the clown story. Tell me the clown story.
Speaker 9 (34:28):
The towns like.
Speaker 11 (34:32):
They were, they were like murderous. It was supposed to
be real, like like it really was happening that the
clowns are, you know, would grab someone, take them the
van and like they would just I didn't.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
Know about that. That was the thing South Boston South Yeah,
what year?
Speaker 11 (34:53):
What time period around the eighties or early eighties? Yeah,
early eighties.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
I didn't know about that. Hey, have you before you go,
I have ever seen a ghost? No, you don't know
anyone who saw a ghost?
Speaker 11 (35:14):
You believe a ghost?
Speaker 2 (35:15):
You know.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
I am not dismissive completely. I'm a big science guy,
and I don't believe in a lot of stuff. But
somehow enough people that I've respective seeing ghosts, So I
don't I don't know what to think.
Speaker 11 (35:30):
Yeah, yep, I wouldn't be able to see it.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
Well, no, they're not invisible because people see him. All right,
Thank you so much, Audrey and Waynemoth. I appreciate it.
And now it's Mike and Taunton. He's a Tontonian. How
do you do, Mike?
Speaker 9 (35:48):
All right, Bradley, good to meet you again. Like, well, uh,
you must be a medium.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Why did I read your mind?
Speaker 9 (35:58):
Yeah, doc got it. I was gonna tell you about
the two scariest movies I ever saw, and one was
The Exorcist. That's number one. Number two. Number two was Jaws.
I used to be a certified scuba diver for you know,
you know, recreation. I haven't gotten the ocean since that
(36:19):
movie came out.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Oh my god, wow, at all at all, at all
at all, and living near the cape, I mean, you're
here shark sightings, jock size.
Speaker 9 (36:27):
Why would I want to go into salt water where
potentially there are sharks.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Well, so you went to all the trouble to become
certified as a diver, which is a lot of trouble.
You had the equipment and everything, you spent the time,
you got the skill, and then Jaws comes out and
you're all done, all done.
Speaker 9 (36:45):
Put it next, yeah, yeah, put it next right to it.
It really did. Second thing is candy New England Confectionery Company.
I used to like the neck a wayfirst, only the chocolate.
Speaker 3 (36:59):
Okay, you're gonna have to explain that to me. They
were like little flat rocks and they didn't have any taste,
and they had this dust.
Speaker 6 (37:05):
On it and they ate.
Speaker 9 (37:10):
Yeah. I know, but I was young.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
But there's plenty of other candy to appreciate out.
Speaker 9 (37:15):
There other than that chunky Chunky's love.
Speaker 3 (37:18):
That chunkies love the raisin Chunkies.
Speaker 9 (37:20):
Yes, all right, and let me see Turkish taffy. I
didn't really care about.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Taffy terrible, but what about this? I just I just
remembered another one. I remember sugar Babies and Sugar Daddy.
Speaker 12 (37:35):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I was what was the
Boston Big Beans. Yeah, they were like candy.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
I guess I'm a tooth sensitive guy, because that was
another one, that tooth breaker. I'm I think we're candy
in terms of will they break my teeth or suck
out my feelings?
Speaker 9 (37:56):
Well, the only one I ever ever ever got toothaches.
Every time I ate one of L's Milky Way bars,
I always wound up with a too day.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
That is so weird, all right, So.
Speaker 9 (38:10):
Oh yeah, quick, yeah, yeah, I believe I did, but
I was much younger. It was a parent the old
house that we lived in and yeah, I believe I did.
It was just an aperation nothing really, that's.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
Apparition equal ghosts. Okay, thanks a lot, Mike, I appreciate it.
You know, Wayne and Jane. I don't know if you
can call back later, but well, we got to move on.
I have only about forty seconds. Really, we're gonna talk
about why why you like music? What about your brain
makes you like music. We have an actual professor every
(38:44):
type of person going to address that. He wrote a
book on it. Also really quickly. I don't know if
you're into this, but I'm going to be performing at
the Burn doing a John Lennon tribute thing. I'm not
getting paid or anything, but I'm gonna go ahead and
perform a John Lennon's song the Burn on the ninth.
I don't know if you're going to be around. I
don't know if it's sold out, but I'll be there.
(39:05):
I'll be nervous if you want to see. So coming up,
we're talking about music and neurologically, why do we like
music

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
