Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's nice eyes with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Ray
Boston's news Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm sorry, I'm lady, but this is my busy season
A tax preparations, tax preparation. I don't pay taxes. I'm
a bookie. The NBA and NHL playoffs just started, which
is my second.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Busiest time of year. Hey, who do you like tonight?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Celtics playing eight and a half against Toronto.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
And Hal's a lot Bacchus on fire lately.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
It doesn't matter. The garden's going to be rocking tonight,
and Kyle Lower has got a bad hammy that's injured.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
I didn't read that.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
I get sources.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Well, then can you put that a bed for me too,
Honey on Boston?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
No, no, no, I'm not doing business in here.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
This is my happy place. Can I catch you in
the parking lot later? Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Who are you thinking of going with those celts?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
I never liked Raptors? Jesus, could you do one of
those two? Louder Milk, it's my favorite show out there,
and that is Tony Rossetti, bookie and recovering Alcoholic being
played Boston's own Jackie Flynn. Everybody knows Jackie here in Boston. Jackie,
thanks for joining us here on night Side.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Hey, thanks for having me.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, I mean, I'd love this show and I'm making
it a mission to get it renewed for a four season.
I'm making it a mission for people to know about it,
and you know, just to set it up. Sam Latimano
is a recovering alcoholic and he runs his AA meeting
(01:29):
and he's played by Ron Livingston and the characters in
which Jackie has won in this room of recovering addicts.
It's awesome, it's just funny. I never know what's going
to happen. Livingston is phenomenal. But Jackie tell us how
this show started and how it came about. Now you
(01:52):
can watch it on Netflix, Folks, you can binge it
on Netflix. I want you to do it. But it
kind of started, wasn't I can't even remember the network,
Edition network or something is that what was on?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
It was on Direct TV's Audience channel, which was their
you know, original programming type channel, and then AT and T,
which owned Direct TV, ended up merging or buying HBO,
and then when Nitrio Max was happening, they decided to
make our network the one network we were on the
audience channel. They decided to make that a preview channel
for HBO Max and that was the end of that,
(02:29):
and so then we ended up being bought, you know
that they our show was aired over on Amazon Prime,
but nobody ever saw it. It was very it was
kind of buried. And then Netflix finally got a hold
of it and it blew up because Netflix had it
prominently displayed and was on your I think like where
it says, you know, suggest it for you and all
that stuff, and it just went crazy, I mean all
(02:51):
around the world. I mean it was a top top
ten shows of top three or four for a long
time on Netflix for about six weeks and then it was,
you know, the number three show in Ireland and the
UK and Australia and everywhere, and it's just kind of
crazy and it's now, you know, I can't it over
with the reception it's gotten well.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I mean, it's get some big names behind it. Pete
and Bobby fairly well. Pete along with Bobby Moore created
it and Bobby's been directing. I know, Bobby picked up
I think season two, and I see his name a
lot as I enter in the season three But can
you tell us how maybe you don't know, I don't know,
but how how Pete and Bobby Moore got this thing going?
(03:32):
Where'd the idea come from?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I want to say Bobby moot originally had an idea
something like that, and then Pete you know, teamed up
with him, right, and then they wrote it. Like you know,
it was always a Pete. I always thought it was
a good environ for, you know, a show like you know,
a kind of a twelve step type program, and which
indeed we've actually gotten all kinds of a lot of
support and love now over, you know, because it's blown
(03:58):
up like this all around the world. These recovery places
people are. If you go on like Twitter or whatever
it's called now and and and put you know, hashtag
hashtags and out of milk in there in the search bar,
it'll come up. But please don't let the show go.
This is the best we Netflix there there intriguing Netflix
to make more seasons. And and they actually had a
(04:18):
page you can sign it's probably still there. It's a
kind of for signatures to petition Netflix to make more seasons.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
And that was like the.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Last I had seen that a while ago, about almost
a year. It was like six thousand signatures on there,
and now they're in the works talking some big, big
producers love the show, and they contacted Pete and said, look,
we want to help make some more of these, you know,
because they know how the TV teving world's crazy. I
mean Netflix, you know, they're not in the business. As
(04:48):
a rule. They they acquire a show like this, uh,
they don't want to have anything to do with making
more more seasons. They want to hear it because it's
not their baby to begin with. I guess maybe I
don't know, but that's their business plan. But Pete went
and met with them and pretty much begging them to
do it, you know, and again they just you know
(05:08):
or adamant that they're not doing that and that's what
they don't do, and this and that. So now these
guys said, hey, look we'll just you know, raise the
money to produce more and then hopefully, I guess Netflix
will probably just buy the subsequent episodes hopefully.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah. Well it's a terrific show. And again on Netflix,
people start, you go to season one, just start and
it's an easy show to binge. And the thing that
I like about it is and if you understand, if
you know the history and Jackie can tell you about
the history with you know, Pete Fairley and Larry David.
It has a curb your enthusiasm feel to it.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yeah, I mean to me, now, where curb may be
a little subtle, there's definitely some you start to see
some fairly brother's influence in here, if you will, Like
at the beginning, you know, with season two, at the
beginning of season three, Laddermilk discovers he has a little brother.
So I'm like, okay, and I'm gonna give this away, folks.
(06:07):
I'm sorry, but there's a whole lot of other stuff
you can watch. I'm not giving too much away. So
I'm like, okay, how are they going to do this?
So he finds out he's got a little brother, and
I go, or I got a brother, and I'm gonna
going it's just predictable. And he finds out his little
brother is like two months old, you know, and gets
(06:27):
left on his doorstep. That's like a fairly brother thing.
It's like just when you think, you know what I mean,
you can elaborate.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
On that, well, they hide, you know, they always hide.
The joke's pretty good, and you know, as far as
and then it's always a you know, it's very dark
to dark comedy, but it deals with a lot of
you know, it's very funny a obviously, but it deals
with a lot of real, you know, heavy material kind
of you know, with addiction and stuff like that and mathactly.
(06:55):
You know, I have a friend of mine who runs
an AA meeting out here in California, he said, Jack,
he goes cave it not too long ago, and he said,
the only reason I'm here is because a lot of milk.
It made me want to reconnect kind of, you know,
with my sobriety or you know whatever for whatever reason.
And you know, like Pete had mentioned to me, he said,
you know, most of these TV shows about recovery, the
show is very hopeful, and it's got a lot of
(07:16):
you know, obviously sadness to it and happiness and all
that that goes with all that. But it's the overriding,
the overwatching you know feelings, I would say, is hope,
you know, and it's it's just it's up listening compared
to a lot of those type of shows, I believe,
and I know I'm I'm very biased because I'm on
the show, but I think is terrific.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I really do.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Yeah, people need to check it out on Netflix. Ladder Milk,
it's it is a well kept secret. And also Jackie
has a little information in relationship to Curb that'll be
coming up next. And also I want to get more
into his character. It's some of the other guys that
are in the room that are hilarious. That's next on WBZ.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Now back to Dan Ray Live from the Window World
night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yes, I'm Tony. I'm a recovering alcoholic in a bookie.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
So that's that's fun.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, you know I can relate to it.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
Trust me.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
What's what's the overunder on Ladder Mich Falling off the Wagons?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Uh, you know, I'll never tell. I'll never tell, but uh,
good chance I might.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Well a lot of mc does, Lott of Milk does
just for a little bit, just a little bit, And
you have to watch Loudermilk on Netflix. Jackie Flint joins
us from Boston. Uh. He's in this series Louder Milk,
which is on Netflix, and it's about an alcohol counselor
and his AA group and their lives. It's a terrific show.
(08:52):
I mentioned that it does remind me of Curb. Your enthusiasm.
We know the relationship between the Fairlies and Larry David
and and there was a chance possibly there would have
been a crossover with Curb at one point.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Uh, yeah, they were talking, Pete just I think they
just kind of flowed the idea because at the time,
you know, we were with HBO in the sense with
AT and T both HBO and Direct TV, and Curb
is obviously on HBO. So uh, they thought about it
be funny if somehow Larry David was, you know, strolled
into the meeting somewhere, you know, somehow how they do
(09:26):
those crossovers and he's, you know, Larry from Curb, and
and you know they could kind of do like a
little crossover type show would have been would have been
a kick.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Well, it just goes to show the quality of show
it is, because I mean, Curb is legendary. So if
if if HBO, if there's discussion about taking this show
and doing a crossover with Curb, it shows the quality
of it. And and I'm very glad to hear Jackie
that people are finding out about this thing and on board,
and I hope you do get a four season out
(09:55):
of it?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Oh, putting to Pete, it's one hundred percent tell a
toning back. It's just you know, it's a matter of when.
Hopefully it'll be sooner than lad because it's been a
long time. But it's kind of great because you know, uh,
you know, a loud of milk at the end of well,
I don't give any away, but at the end of
the season, you know, he's that's for this way. At
the beginning of season four, he's going to be back
(10:20):
kind of on top of the world. And yet now
he's gonna still deal with us knuckleheads, you know what
I mean. So it's kind of a it's gonna be
a funny uh you know, kind of dichotomy and story arc.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
You know, one of the current moments. I thought it
just to give people an idea. So they check it
out with Will Shasso, who plays a lot of Milks
roombaate and sponsor, and he's driving and he has a
hit and run supposedly with a homeless person. And again
(10:50):
it's just a fairleas where they I mean, you're dealing
with homelessness, you're dealing with alcoholism, you're dealing with the
d u I and they're able to put a spin
on it where it's where it's it's funny. I mean,
it's dark, but it's funny. So you know, Sasso could
have been replaced by Larry David because he has this
(11:11):
thing with the homeless guy with the homeless guy has
his has his uh grocery store car and he says,
you hit my vehicle. You could have taken out Sasso
and put in Larry David.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's just like I said, I'm I
giggle lot. I've just reconnected with it. I watched a
couple of episodes and I haven't seen him in a
long time. And and Pete fairly actually you know, we
were talking. He said, you know, I watched the whole
season not too long ago, a couple of seasons, and
he goes, because I forgot how funny it was. And
it's funny, you know this, this is some very funny
(11:45):
lines that you miss, like at least on first blush,
you know, like anything, you know, and and he'd just
come back and watch it. It's actually better. And I'm
you know again, like I said, I know I'm pretty biased,
but I think it's just hysterical. We have so much
fun shooting it because you know a lot of you know,
sense of humanized. You know, Brian Reagan is a comedian
friend of mine and he's on the show. And Ricky Blitt,
(12:07):
who plays New Guy, he was on writers on uh
and probably the most notorious writer on Family Guy or
the original Family.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Yeah, you know that that makes sense. Brian's from here, right.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I'm sorry, Brian is from Florida.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
It was from Florida. I thought he was from here.
But I want to talk about your character then, because
the thing about like your character Rosetti, all of these
characters are based in reality. It's not over the top.
So where you see your stand up back and we've
all seen it and you can you know you're telling it.
You know you're not telling jokes. I mean, you're playing
(12:45):
a real person in what and you do a very
good job of it in which turns out to be
darkly comedic situations. So what's that like for you?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
That's great? I mean, you know, a comedian, uh, you know,
I can't speak for everybody, but most comedians will you know.
You know, I love doing stand up, but it's always
kind of a dream of a comedian. You know, you
want to do more. You want to do comedic acting
and like Saturday Night Live type stuff or or any
kind of sitcom or you know, anything like that, you know,
comedic movies. And I was blessed that, you know, obviously,
(13:20):
early on in my career, I got to do some
stuff that you know, Peter Fairley saw me doing stand
up and you know, and put me in the movie.
And then we became, you know, doing more and more.
I had to do some writing, helping them do some
punch up stuff, you know, with some of their scripts
and you know, just making making it a little funnier.
And and then just to go on to this. I
remember when this was in development, he said there's a
(13:41):
show I'm working on, and he goes, I think there'll
be something in there for you. He goes, he'd be
perfect as one of the characters. And turns out that
was loud of Molk and and here we are. You know,
it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Well, I love there's something with you in Muggsy. It's
like Tony's grounded and muggsies out of his mind and
it's like if there was a road movie. Yeah, but
but again, it's believable it's not over the top because
everybody knows a muggsy.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, oh absolutely, And you know, and it's that that's
the thing. And it's the characters. You know, there are
a little bit of caricatures of probably like you know,
the actual type of person that they're portraying, but not
to the point where, like you said, it's not believable
and it's and it's you know, it's like anything, you know,
you always have to scratch it a little bit, you know,
because it's just what makes the humor.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
You know.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I love it when everybody in the in the AA
meeting is outside, they're like gathering outside the building. I mean, yeah,
I mean that that stuff's great. And you mentioned new guy.
I was going to ask you about him because he
does steal some of it. I mean, you know, you're terrific.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
You know that that's the thing. Everybody has. Every character
is uniquely funny and they're on their own, they stand alone,
you know, and it's funny but combined hysterical because of
the juxtaposition of everybody. And you know how funny is
the priest Mike, you know, I mean, uh, the priest
on the show is just is one of the funniest
characters to me, hysterical.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
He's and you know something, this is because I loved
I watched the TV my I don't know, my wife.
The Hallmark channel is on all the time in my
house all the time. Yeah, and he was in a
Hallmark movie. Eric, Yeah, and I was like, wait a minute,
that's the priest from Laddermilk or the Priest is hilarious.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, terical. I mean all the characters, like I said,
everybody is like just you know, onto themselves, like uniquely funny.
But you know, put him together and you get like,
you know, Brian, Wait, you see Brian's character, you know,
the the you know, the arc he has in the
season three it's really he's really impressive. Like we're all
blown away by you know, not that we didn't think
(15:55):
he was a good actor, but just really like man
like Emmy, Emmy Ship. You know.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yes, I'm looking at IMDb Eric Keiley's side, Yeah, yeah,
Father Michael. Well, that's the great thing about about streaming
is we get to see all these great actors.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Oh yeah, there's a lot of a lot of people
that would never you would never even see you know
what I mean, or wouldn't even have a chance. Like
you know, there's a lot of you know, peachs great
for doing that. He brings a lot of people in
that otherwise wouldn't have been you know, discovered or or seen.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
You know, well like n like Ron Lewis, I remember
him from off of space, well off of space, off
of space. And then yeah, but like he really steps
it up in this thing. I mean like in the
coffee shop. In the coffee shop he opens the door
for the woman, then the woman cuts it out. He's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I love that line as he said something on the
lines is yeah for you, I don't want not for
your millennial clown car of whatever. Very funny.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
L David.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Yeah, Hey he's grumpy. He's got a good heart though,
and it's like you know, uh, you know the scene
with with the lumberjack guys too. It kills me when
he's like, you guys are warr enactors, right, that was
very funny, that whole scene.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
But there's again the more you watch it, like you see,
like Mark my watch it all the way through and
then Anottle like you know, a half a year or whatever,
just we'll go back and watch and you'll you'll miss
stuff and you go, oh my god, how did I miss?
That's only there's some really funny stuff that just kind
of slides by.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Uh, we'll get a call for a lot of minutes.
Let's go to Gary and Gary around with Jackie Flynn
on WBZ.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
I am a big comedy fan of sixty man, you know,
a gulla pile, all the family, this that black black
And what I want to say is this, I mean,
let's face it, the old shows are coming back. Uh
you know Andy Griffith is that. Of course we're all
happy because we're older. But let's face it, what happened
to Hollywood? I mean nineteen sixty when they were passing
(17:59):
around in Hollywood and they say, hey, what do you
think about the Beverly Hill Boys? Everybody said, what are you?
Snoopid turned out to be a big hit. What has
happened to Hollywood? That's one question. And the other one
that says, and I'll take you answer and I'll hang up,
is how come we never have a situation of a
family comedy, you know, like a Happy Days or Good
Times where I grew up in a household with my
(18:21):
dad because I'm a single guy, myself when he passed
wind and then his ten.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Year old daughter said, oh Dad, and she goes running
too the bathroom to grab the light. Saw in the audience,
which is us, we're cracking up laughing because it's part
of life and you never see it.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Thank you for a time, all right, Gary, Thanks for
the phone call. I have a lot of thoughts on that.
I don't know about you, Jackie.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah, I mean no, he made a good point, you know,
about the matter of fact. It's funny that he's just
mentioned Andy Griffith show. You know, that's one of Peter
Fairley's favorite shows, and you know, you know Andy Griffith. Uh.
And it's just again, that's like such a going back
to you know, Americana, you know me. And I think, uh,
you know, Hollywood is like anything. I think, it's physical.
I mean, I I long for those days too. I'd
(19:06):
love to see another like Happy Days type show, you
know what I mean. Sometimes I think we've kind of
lost their innocence a little bit, maybe you know.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
With that, but well, I think so. I think one
of the things that has heard comedy when I look
at my kids is say it's on Instagram, it's you know,
it's ten second bits. It's somebody running in the wall,
you know, so to go out and do like a comedy.
It's I think it's just hard to sell now.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
And of course you have the they don't have that,
you know. They have the attention span of a fruit.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Fly most exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
You know, and they don't. You know. It's it's it's
kind of sad, you know. I mean, I'm guilty, but myself,
like I catch myself like I don't read anywhere anywhere
near as much as I used to. And I just
made myself like, you know, sit down and read the
other day, like I go, I'm going to start reading again.
I used to read a book a week at least,
you know, not at least, but you know, a lot, right,
a lot of times reading. I'd read a book and
you know whatever, I just I haven't read. As a
(20:02):
matter of fact, in my own view, I used to read.
I was a big Stephen King fan still am the
horror author, and at one point I had written read
everything he's ever written, like literally fifty books, and when
the next one came, I'd read it. Now I'm like
four or five books behind, and I'm like, oh, my god,
I got to start catching up with all the Stephen
King stuff that I missed. And I never was, but
I was always like, as soon as it came, I
(20:23):
get it. I went wait for paperback and I'd get it.
And I really I'm guilty of that too. I just don't.
I don't read as much as I used to it.
We're all kind of like, you know, in this kind
of instant gratification land. Now you know, there's.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
No doubt about it. There is no doubt about it. Jackie,
can you hang on for another segment? I have some
more questions for you, all right, Jackie Flint joys This
Loudermilk is on Netflix. Check it out, folks, and season
four is coming, thank god. More after this on WBZ,
It's Night Side.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
With Dan Ray on w Boston's news Radio.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Okay, back here on knightsid garyan for and Jackie Flint
is with us. Boston comedian plays Tony Resenting in Loudy
Milk louder Milk. Excuse me, it's getting later, Jackie on
the East Coast, and you got to check it out
on Netflix, uh direct. The Fairly Brothers are involved also
Bobby Mooret. So it's it's really good stuff. I think
(21:18):
it's very hard now for shows to be found Jackie.
Like you talk about Netflix, HBO, Amazon Prime, where you
had your three or four channels before, right, and you
know the banana splits on channel fifty six, so so
a show had time to build. It's really it's really
hard right now. Like you mentioned, the sitcom has gone away,
(21:41):
you know for somebody like Netflix, they just buy Friends
and they rerun it. It's like three generations have watch Friends.
My fourteen year old daughters watched every episode of Friends
as if it was a brand new show. So that's
that's a challenge.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah, but.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Finding it and that's why, like a thing like Loudermilk went.
I started watching it. I was like, I can't believe
people don't know about this show. But that's the challenge now.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah, it kills me. And then when people see it,
like I tell him, I say, watch the show, and
then they call me and say, oh my god, thank you,
that's a great show. I can't believe I didn't know
about it. You know, I'm starting to get more now.
I mean like I get you know when I go
to comedy clubs. Now, like you know, half the crowd,
like they'll say I'm Uloslop and they clap like they're therefore,
you know, because they you know, they saw the show,
(22:28):
so they came in they want to see my stand
up and and that's that's pretty cool because you know,
before I didn't think anyone even knew what the show was,
you know.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Right, Uh, let's talk about stand up for a minute.
How hard is it? How hard is it to be
a stand up comedian when you're competing with Washington when
reality is hilarious?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Oh god, don't even get me started on that. I
just I can't believe. We're in a lot of trouble
right now. I don't even well, I don't even know
what this is. This world's gone. It's it's kind of crazy,
you know.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Well, really that's the thing is you used to you know,
you would, I mean, you have to laugh or you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Cry, right exactly so exactly.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
So, you know, I imagine as a stand up comic,
how do you handle that now? Because you don't even
have to tell a joke, You just have to recite
what's happening.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Yeah, Well the problem is that, you know, if you
talk about politics like anything, you know, you lose half
the crowd, you know what I mean, it's right, you know,
it's so divisive, and you know, I just there's no uh,
there's no I'm not going to change anybody's minds, just
like they're not going to change my mind I guess.
And it's just uh, I don't know. I just like
I said, I just uh, this is the truth is
(23:38):
stranger in fiction. I just can't believe. I just it's
it's it's hit all a new low. I mean, you know,
if politics were always a little you know, depending on
what side you were, you know, fine, you could, you know,
poke fun at everything. But now it's like, really it's
really gone gone haywire. I'm just uh, I'm really worried. Like, look,
I don't know how much long I got in my life,
but I'm worried about my kids. And my kids is
(24:00):
what kind of what kind of the world is going
to be?
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Well, yeah, when you talk about eliminating the Department of Education,
I'm like, excuse me, what.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
No, it's it's it's it's it's it's a dystopian nightmare,
is what it is. And I just I just get
over it. I just don't understand how anyone doesn't see
this for what it is, It's like he'll have blinders
on it. They're they're twisting themselves into pretzels, trying to
make this seem like normal, you know, like, oh yeah,
it's nothing, you know really you know.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Well, I was teaching at Emerson and I asked the students.
I said, do you believe everything you hear in the
sports media? Now? You know Boston being an unbelievable sports
dat in sports talk? And I try to tell people
sports talk is not reading, you know, the Boston Globe
(24:52):
game story. Okay, sports talk is entertainment. Okay, it started
with Eddie Anilman all the way through now with fell
Maz and all those guys. But what my student said
to me is they don't believe anything, and they don't care.
They don't care. So now we're at a point where
(25:15):
people just believe what they want to believe. You know,
that makes them feel better, which is not a solution.
You know, that's you know, you just believe what you
want to believe. If you want to believe MSNBC, you
watch MSNBC. I mean, I sit here filling in for
Dan Ray and I am CNN on one monitor and
I have Fox on the other and the way their
(25:35):
their graphics are just complete opposite telling the same story.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
So it's unbelievable. I'll give you an example. During the
January sixth riots, I remember in the height of it,
I'm talking about the absolute pinnacle, like when they're fashion
in the windows and you know, literally like as much
of a melee as could be, literally the height of it.
I switched the over to Fox to see this for
(26:01):
the heck of it, to see what they were showing,
because I was curious. And not only were they not
showing it, they were talking about Hunter Biden's laptop right.
Swear on my kids, that's what was happening at the
height of it. Now, so large swaths of this country
A didn't see it happening, and B not only did
they see it happening when the hearings were held the
(26:23):
January sixth herrings to find out to get to the
bottom of it. Not only was Fox not showing the hearings,
they were deriding it the whole time. I remember, betweening
it and seeing Laura Aam going hook here we go again, Russia,
Gabe and all this stuff, and they went commercial free
for three hours so their viewers wouldn't see what was
going on here on Earth one. So I just I'm
(26:47):
just so large swaths of the country didn't see it happened,
really and this in earnest and didn't see the outcome
of what the what the herrings found out that it
was about, and they just you know, the scrub down
version of oh yeah, it was just a bunch of
tourists and peaceful protests and what about the bl BLM
riots and you know, and it's just oh my god,
(27:10):
I mean, look, there there's no cause for rioting, you
know whatever. There's peaceful protest, fine, and the BLM riots,
you know, they were writing about, you know, different They
always it's always a false equivalence as far as I'm concerned.
BLM riots, I thought, you know, and most people would
say it was because of four hundred years of oppression
and Blacks getting beat up by cops. And the difference
(27:33):
is the riots January sixth, they were writing over a
made up election was stolen live right, right, right, right right.
There's no fault that they're not equal, you know, so
not that either one of them is good, you know,
they don't want to have property damage and all that.
But but come on, man, and it's like I understand,
I swear to God. When Donald Trump was president the
(27:54):
first time and the first term, in the middle of it,
when he was doing all the crazy stuff, I remember
saying myself, it would make more sense to me if
Alan Funt walked out right now, you know, I mean,
that would make more sense to me. That's how ludicrous
this says to me. I just can't get over it.
And now he's on this revenge stour, and uh, I
(28:17):
just can't believe it. I just can't believe what I'm watching.
Did you see and again.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Did you see the movie The Apprentice?
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Believe or not? Until this? This, this, this, you know
it happened. I'm sure I see what.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Did you see the movie The Apprentice?
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Yes? I did, Yeah to me, and.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
I understand it's fiction. I understand it. I thought Sebastian
Standard Jeremy uh Strung with terrific That sets it all up.
It's denied, denied, den I do not deny. And he's
just doing the same stuff.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
It's Roy Cohen, it's ro It's Roy, it's that playbook.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
And then today I almost fell off my chair when
he said let's make it. I want to take over, guys,
and make it the riviera of the Middle East, the.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
One for me. The thing that he hit a new
low as far as I'm concerned, was when the helicopter
crashed into the plane, and the next day at the
press conference, he made it about himself. Yes he did,
and he said I did this and Obama did this,
and I'm I'm sitting there going are.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
You kidding me?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
I mean, read the room. I mean, it's this unbelievable.
I just can't believe what I was watching, even for him.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Right right right, like if I had been president, this
never would have happened.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Yeah, exactly. And that's instead of, like, you know, it
should have been just about I'm sad for the families
this and that we're going to get to the bottom.
I mean, it's just unbelievable. Again, It's I know what
I'm so tired of saying, Garry, I'm so tired of
saying it's beyond the pale, because beyond the pale doesn't
even cover it anymore. We have to come up with
a new saying that it is more than beyond the pale.
(29:53):
You know, it's just like it's just unbelievable. I just
I'm just flabbergasted. And then yeah, I'll talk to a
buddy of mine and it's like, like you said, it's
a completely different viewpoint of it, completely, And I said,
I don't understand how you can't see what this is.
But whatever, again, you know, and I don't have any answer,
(30:15):
by the way, you know, I'm not like saying, oh, well,
I would do better. I just we have to be
better than this as a country.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Well, I also feel and I'm a registered Democrat and
I did not vote for Trump, but I also feel that,
you know, the dam just got to get their act
together too, you know, I mean, we we let the
Fox back in the Hendhouse.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Yeah, there's definitely blame to go all around, but there's
just I mean again, I just think that, you know,
I don't even know where to begin with that, you
know what I mean, And and you know, we just uh,
you know, I'm a little aggravated. Biden. I think should
have you know, should have done what you're supposed to
do and just be a one term president.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Absolutely, that's that's the problem. Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I was happy with Biden as far as like I
thought he did a good job where he did, and frankly,
in my opinion, Biden's corpse is better than Trump. But
you know, and some people would argue we might have
had that at the end. But all I know is that,
you know, we've got to be better, you know, both
on both sides obviously, But I can't believe this is
(31:20):
the best we can do, you know. And and I
just don't know, Like I don't see any end insight there.
I just hope he I hope he goes away after
this term. That's all I hope. And I right now
like he's doing a whole Victor Obam playbook, if you
asking me.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
But well, I can't imagine what. I've just never seen
anything like it, where you know, you you do the
four years, you say that you can care COVID by
drinking bleach, and you get bounced and you say everybody cheated,
but then you get back in. Like that's the part
that blew my mind. And that's where I felt our
(31:57):
Democratic Party let us do, because we let him back in.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
You know, I don't understand it. I don't understand it.
And how do you have a guy who's a doctor.
Bill Cassidy, Senator for Louisiana I believe it was just
one of the deciding votes when Robert Kennedy junior in health.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
This guy's a doctor.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
It's just it's it's like it really is. It's a
it's Ah. I keep waiting for it to be like
a wake up from this.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Well, listen, Jack, I wanted to have you on to
talk about Loudermilk. I'm sorry I got you all wound up.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
No worries, man, no worries.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Listen, Thanks for coming on. Uh what's coming up next day?
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Are you going on anything you want to promote other
than louder Milk when you guys you know that will
keep an eye on that. But any stand up locally
where you're going to be. What are you got going on?
Speaker 5 (32:45):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (32:46):
I am going to be I'm trying to think I'll
be back at Boston and uh I'm trying to think
I'll be back there in June? Is it right now?
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (32:56):
And uh it'll be you know probably Uh yeah, I'll
be a couple of clubs in June, so hopefully, you know,
it might be there might be sooner than that, but uh,
right now, I got gigs in Florida and I'm all
over the place.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Well, safe travels, and we look forward to seeing you
back here. Congratulations on Loudermilk. It's thankfully it's no longer
a well kept secret, and I look forward to season four.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Well me too, buddy. From your lips to God's ears
and uh, you know, thanks for you know, thanks for everything, man.
I appreciate the kind words, and uh, you know, let's uh,
let's keep on keeping on brother.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
All right, there you go, Jackie Flat joining us Tony
Rosetti on louder Milk. Check it out on Netflix. Take care,
We'll be back right after this.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Now back to Dan Ray line from the Window World
night Side Studios on w b Z News Radio.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Well, lucky you. Dan Ray is back tomorrow night, and
Josh Kraft is going to be joining him on night
Side at nine o'clock. I find this mayor race fascinating
because we have two very qualified people in my eyes,
with Josh Kraft in Meriwu, I think they think along
similar lines from what I'm gathering. I think that Josh
(34:09):
feels he can do a better job implementing some of
those things, and it's going to be interesting. I can't wait.
I can't wait for them to debate because I think
they will take barbes at each other. And one of
the things that I enjoy in a debate and an
intellectual discussion is when smart people make fun of each other,
(34:29):
because then it's funny. It's not just Trump tossing bombs.
You know, like anybody can be a bully. It doesn't
take brains to be a bully. It doesn't. It just
takes insecurity, if you will. So I think that that
is going to be fascinating. That is coming up tomorrow
(34:52):
night at nine o'clock right here on Night Side. I
want to thank my guests for coming on the show tonight.
Doctor Chris Streeter of Nichols College got a crew of
students working at the super Bowl. I think that is
great experience, hands on experience. Yes, the books are important,
the classroom is important. You got to get out in
(35:13):
the real world. You got to work with people. You
got to see how things happen in reality. And they're
getting a chance to do that working at the super
Bowl this week. I mean, the super Bowl's not like
I said, I've been the nine of them? Is that
what I said? I'm good, I'm fine, I don't need
to go back. I'm fine. I was there for the
(35:36):
Malcolm Butler interception, which was one of the most unbelievable
things I ever saw, sitting right behind Geno Cappelletti and
just incredible, incredible. Oh is that so? God? I've lost track. God,
I gotta go back, and I gotta be careful. But
(35:56):
I had the opportunity to work with both Gil Santos,
the great Geno Capaletti, and Scott's Areking Bob soci So
I'm sorry, folks, I've lost track of who I worked with.
It's it's just the way it is. But seeing that
live was something else. When Butler made that interception, did
not see that coming. I thought we were cooked. I
(36:18):
really did. I thought we were cooked. Boy. But I'll
tell you that Super Bowl against the Eagles. McNabb never
had a chance, never had a chance. And what a
disaster Jacksonville was. Oh my god, the one that Houston
knows how to as far as the facility goes. Houston
(36:41):
does a good job with the Super Bowl, with the facility,
everything to spread out, though, But the Carolina Panther Super Bowl,
I mean, Jake Delone, what that first half was unbelievable, incredible,
what a finish, all right? So there you go. I'm
(37:01):
going down in the old football rabbit hole. I also
want to thank cousin Todd Todd Fernard from Fernard Properties
talking about the future of in person shopping and check
out ready ready, check it out online? Is psychotropic or
dispensaries marijuana dispensaries and Tori Champagne always good to talk
(37:26):
to him about some of the top five football films
and it is amazing. I mean, I did make the point.
I'll pat myself on the back how you could take
the difference between a baseball film and a football film
represents the sport. I mean, the baseball film is romantic
and majestic and historic and the football film wants to
(37:47):
beach over the head right. And one of the best
football speeches is al Pacino in any given Sunday, that's it.
But that's it though, dressing like a nightclub owner as
the head coach. I still don't know. Torri made a
good point. Al Pacino's coach on any given Sunday? What
(38:12):
is that based on? Who is that? Based on? No clue,
absolutely no clue whatsoever. Remember the Titans for me is
that's probably number two. And then Friday Night lights nothing
like it. I could go back and Rewatch. I don't
(38:34):
know how many seasons there are. I could go back
and watch that easily, easily. I could watch that no problem.
And look, Billy Bob Thornton did a phenomenal job as
the head coach. Kyle Chandler picked it up. You never
see that. You never see a television series match the
(38:57):
success of the movie. And Kyle Chandler is an excellent actor,
but he was not at the level of Billy Bob Thornton.
But to fill his shoes and make it a success,
are you kidding me? That is not easy. That is
not easy to do at all. And we are Marshall
(39:17):
I've forgotten movie and a very good movie. If you
haven't seen it, you should watch it. Mcconney's great, Matthew
Fox is great in it too, about the plane crash
of the Marshall team where a number of players were
lost and they went on to play, and it is
very inspirationally and it is I think it's it's a
(39:39):
story that did not get enough attention, did not get
enough attention at all. So folks, it's been a pleasure
filling in for these three days. Try to take you
away from what's happening in Washington a little bit, have
a little fun talk about some different things. We certainly
did cover what was going on Washington, DC. I don't
(40:01):
think that they're gonna take away the Department of Education.
I don't think that's gonna happen. I don't know what
Trump's methodology is. Maybe just yell and scream yell and
scream yell and scream, and he'll get a little bit
of what he wants. He'll get the Department of Education
to cut back some. I don't know. I I because
(40:27):
that's not going away. Okay, we need it. We need it,
So that's not that's not going away. But obviously Washington
is scared of him because I'll you know, I mean,
if you get our k RFK Junior in there, man,
they'll put anybody in. Sorry, gonna sneak. I had to
(40:50):
shut off the late to sneeze, all right, I gotta
go stand by for news, Rob Brooks, great job as always,
Marita LaRosa aka Lightning, thank you for setting up the show.
Dan Ray, the adult is back in the room tomorrow night.
Josh Kraft, candidate from Mayor nine o'clock tomorrow night. Here
on nights I have a good evening
It's nice eyes with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Ray
Boston's news Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I'm sorry, I'm lady, but this is my busy season
A tax preparations, tax preparation. I don't pay taxes. I'm
a bookie. The NBA and NHL playoffs just started, which
is my second.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Busiest time of year. Hey, who do you like tonight?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Celtics playing eight and a half against Toronto.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
And Hal's a lot Bacchus on fire lately.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
It doesn't matter. The garden's going to be rocking tonight,
and Kyle Lower has got a bad hammy that's injured.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
I didn't read that.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
I get sources.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Well, then can you put that a bed for me too,
Honey on Boston?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
No, no, no, I'm not doing business in here.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
This is my happy place. Can I catch you in
the parking lot later? Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Who are you thinking of going with those celts?
Speaker 3 (00:48):
I never liked Raptors? Jesus, could you do one of
those two? Louder Milk, it's my favorite show out there,
and that is Tony Rossetti, bookie and recovering Alcoholic being
played Boston's own Jackie Flynn. Everybody knows Jackie here in Boston. Jackie,
thanks for joining us here on night Side.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Hey, thanks for having me.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, I mean, I'd love this show and I'm making
it a mission to get it renewed for a four season.
I'm making it a mission for people to know about it,
and you know, just to set it up. Sam Latimano
is a recovering alcoholic and he runs his AA meeting
(01:29):
and he's played by Ron Livingston and the characters in
which Jackie has won in this room of recovering addicts.
It's awesome, it's just funny. I never know what's going
to happen. Livingston is phenomenal. But Jackie tell us how
this show started and how it came about. Now you
(01:52):
can watch it on Netflix, Folks, you can binge it
on Netflix. I want you to do it. But it
kind of started, wasn't I can't even remember the network,
Edition network or something is that what was on?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
It was on Direct TV's Audience channel, which was their
you know, original programming type channel, and then AT and T,
which owned Direct TV, ended up merging or buying HBO,
and then when Nitrio Max was happening, they decided to
make our network the one network we were on the
audience channel. They decided to make that a preview channel
for HBO Max and that was the end of that,
(02:29):
and so then we ended up being bought, you know
that they our show was aired over on Amazon Prime,
but nobody ever saw it. It was very it was
kind of buried. And then Netflix finally got a hold
of it and it blew up because Netflix had it
prominently displayed and was on your I think like where
it says, you know, suggest it for you and all
that stuff, and it just went crazy, I mean all
(02:51):
around the world. I mean it was a top top
ten shows of top three or four for a long
time on Netflix for about six weeks and then it was,
you know, the number three show in Ireland and the
UK and Australia and everywhere, and it's just kind of
crazy and it's now, you know, I can't it over
with the reception it's gotten well.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I mean, it's get some big names behind it. Pete
and Bobby fairly well. Pete along with Bobby Moore created
it and Bobby's been directing. I know, Bobby picked up
I think season two, and I see his name a
lot as I enter in the season three But can
you tell us how maybe you don't know, I don't know,
but how how Pete and Bobby Moore got this thing going?
(03:32):
Where'd the idea come from?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I want to say Bobby moot originally had an idea
something like that, and then Pete you know, teamed up
with him, right, and then they wrote it. Like you know,
it was always a Pete. I always thought it was
a good environ for, you know, a show like you know,
a kind of a twelve step type program, and which
indeed we've actually gotten all kinds of a lot of
support and love now over, you know, because it's blown
(03:58):
up like this all around the world. These recovery places
people are. If you go on like Twitter or whatever
it's called now and and and put you know, hashtag
hashtags and out of milk in there in the search bar,
it'll come up. But please don't let the show go.
This is the best we Netflix there there intriguing Netflix
to make more seasons. And and they actually had a
(04:18):
page you can sign it's probably still there. It's a
kind of for signatures to petition Netflix to make more seasons.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
And that was like the.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Last I had seen that a while ago, about almost
a year. It was like six thousand signatures on there,
and now they're in the works talking some big, big
producers love the show, and they contacted Pete and said, look,
we want to help make some more of these, you know,
because they know how the TV teving world's crazy. I
mean Netflix, you know, they're not in the business. As
(04:48):
a rule. They they acquire a show like this, uh,
they don't want to have anything to do with making
more more seasons. They want to hear it because it's
not their baby to begin with. I guess maybe I
don't know, but that's their business plan. But Pete went
and met with them and pretty much begging them to
do it, you know, and again they just you know
(05:08):
or adamant that they're not doing that and that's what
they don't do, and this and that. So now these
guys said, hey, look we'll just you know, raise the
money to produce more and then hopefully, I guess Netflix
will probably just buy the subsequent episodes hopefully.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
Yeah. Well it's a terrific show. And again on Netflix,
people start, you go to season one, just start and
it's an easy show to binge. And the thing that
I like about it is and if you understand, if
you know the history and Jackie can tell you about
the history with you know, Pete Fairley and Larry David.
It has a curb your enthusiasm feel to it.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Yeah, I mean to me, now, where curb may be
a little subtle, there's definitely some you start to see
some fairly brother's influence in here, if you will, Like
at the beginning, you know, with season two, at the
beginning of season three, Laddermilk discovers he has a little brother.
So I'm like, okay, and I'm gonna give this away, folks.
(06:07):
I'm sorry, but there's a whole lot of other stuff
you can watch. I'm not giving too much away. So
I'm like, okay, how are they going to do this?
So he finds out he's got a little brother, and
I go, or I got a brother, and I'm gonna
going it's just predictable. And he finds out his little
brother is like two months old, you know, and gets
(06:27):
left on his doorstep. That's like a fairly brother thing.
It's like just when you think, you know what I mean,
you can elaborate.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
On that, well, they hide, you know, they always hide.
The joke's pretty good, and you know, as far as
and then it's always a you know, it's very dark
to dark comedy, but it deals with a lot of
you know, it's very funny a obviously, but it deals
with a lot of real, you know, heavy material kind
of you know, with addiction and stuff like that and mathactly.
(06:55):
You know, I have a friend of mine who runs
an AA meeting out here in California, he said, Jack,
he goes cave it not too long ago, and he said,
the only reason I'm here is because a lot of milk.
It made me want to reconnect kind of, you know,
with my sobriety or you know whatever for whatever reason.
And you know, like Pete had mentioned to me, he said,
you know, most of these TV shows about recovery, the
show is very hopeful, and it's got a lot of
(07:16):
you know, obviously sadness to it and happiness and all
that that goes with all that. But it's the overriding,
the overwatching you know feelings, I would say, is hope,
you know, and it's it's just it's up listening compared
to a lot of those type of shows, I believe,
and I know I'm I'm very biased because I'm on
the show, but I think is terrific.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
I really do.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Yeah, people need to check it out on Netflix. Ladder Milk,
it's it is a well kept secret. And also Jackie
has a little information in relationship to Curb that'll be
coming up next. And also I want to get more
into his character. It's some of the other guys that
are in the room that are hilarious. That's next on WBZ.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Now back to Dan Ray Live from the Window World
night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yes, I'm Tony. I'm a recovering alcoholic in a bookie.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
So that's that's fun.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Yeah, you know I can relate to it.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
Trust me.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
What's what's the overunder on Ladder Mich Falling off the Wagons?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Uh, you know, I'll never tell. I'll never tell, but uh,
good chance I might.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Well a lot of mc does, Lott of Milk does
just for a little bit, just a little bit, And
you have to watch Loudermilk on Netflix. Jackie Flint joins
us from Boston. Uh. He's in this series Louder Milk,
which is on Netflix, and it's about an alcohol counselor
and his AA group and their lives. It's a terrific show.
(08:52):
I mentioned that it does remind me of Curb. Your enthusiasm.
We know the relationship between the Fairlies and Larry David
and and there was a chance possibly there would have
been a crossover with Curb at one point.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Uh, yeah, they were talking, Pete just I think they
just kind of flowed the idea because at the time,
you know, we were with HBO in the sense with
AT and T both HBO and Direct TV, and Curb
is obviously on HBO. So uh, they thought about it
be funny if somehow Larry David was, you know, strolled
into the meeting somewhere, you know, somehow how they do
(09:26):
those crossovers and he's, you know, Larry from Curb, and
and you know they could kind of do like a
little crossover type show would have been would have been
a kick.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Well, it just goes to show the quality of show
it is, because I mean, Curb is legendary. So if
if if HBO, if there's discussion about taking this show
and doing a crossover with Curb, it shows the quality
of it. And and I'm very glad to hear Jackie
that people are finding out about this thing and on board,
and I hope you do get a four season out
(09:55):
of it?
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Oh, putting to Pete, it's one hundred percent tell a
toning back. It's just you know, it's a matter of when.
Hopefully it'll be sooner than lad because it's been a
long time. But it's kind of great because you know, uh,
you know, a loud of milk at the end of well,
I don't give any away, but at the end of
the season, you know, he's that's for this way. At
the beginning of season four, he's going to be back
(10:20):
kind of on top of the world. And yet now
he's gonna still deal with us knuckleheads, you know what
I mean. So it's kind of a it's gonna be
a funny uh you know, kind of dichotomy and story arc.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
You know, one of the current moments. I thought it
just to give people an idea. So they check it
out with Will Shasso, who plays a lot of Milks
roombaate and sponsor, and he's driving and he has a
hit and run supposedly with a homeless person. And again
(10:50):
it's just a fairleas where they I mean, you're dealing
with homelessness, you're dealing with alcoholism, you're dealing with the
d u I and they're able to put a spin
on it where it's where it's it's funny. I mean,
it's dark, but it's funny. So you know, Sasso could
have been replaced by Larry David because he has this
(11:11):
thing with the homeless guy with the homeless guy has
his has his uh grocery store car and he says,
you hit my vehicle. You could have taken out Sasso
and put in Larry David.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's just like I said, I'm I
giggle lot. I've just reconnected with it. I watched a
couple of episodes and I haven't seen him in a
long time. And and Pete fairly actually you know, we
were talking. He said, you know, I watched the whole
season not too long ago, a couple of seasons, and
he goes, because I forgot how funny it was. And
it's funny, you know this, this is some very funny
(11:45):
lines that you miss, like at least on first blush,
you know, like anything, you know, and and he'd just
come back and watch it. It's actually better. And I'm
you know again, like I said, I know I'm pretty biased,
but I think it's just hysterical. We have so much
fun shooting it because you know a lot of you know,
sense of humanized. You know, Brian Reagan is a comedian
friend of mine and he's on the show. And Ricky Blitt,
(12:07):
who plays New Guy, he was on writers on uh
and probably the most notorious writer on Family Guy or
the original Family.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Yeah, you know that that makes sense. Brian's from here, right.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I'm sorry, Brian is from Florida.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
It was from Florida. I thought he was from here.
But I want to talk about your character then, because
the thing about like your character Rosetti, all of these
characters are based in reality. It's not over the top.
So where you see your stand up back and we've
all seen it and you can you know you're telling it.
You know you're not telling jokes. I mean, you're playing
(12:45):
a real person in what and you do a very
good job of it in which turns out to be
darkly comedic situations. So what's that like for you?
Speaker 2 (12:58):
That's great? I mean, you know, a comedian, uh, you know,
I can't speak for everybody, but most comedians will you know.
You know, I love doing stand up, but it's always
kind of a dream of a comedian. You know, you
want to do more. You want to do comedic acting
and like Saturday Night Live type stuff or or any
kind of sitcom or you know, anything like that, you know,
comedic movies. And I was blessed that, you know, obviously,
(13:20):
early on in my career, I got to do some
stuff that you know, Peter Fairley saw me doing stand
up and you know, and put me in the movie.
And then we became, you know, doing more and more.
I had to do some writing, helping them do some
punch up stuff, you know, with some of their scripts
and you know, just making making it a little funnier.
And and then just to go on to this. I
remember when this was in development, he said there's a
(13:41):
show I'm working on, and he goes, I think there'll
be something in there for you. He goes, he'd be
perfect as one of the characters. And turns out that
was loud of Molk and and here we are. You know,
it's crazy.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Well, I love there's something with you in Muggsy. It's
like Tony's grounded and muggsies out of his mind and
it's like if there was a road movie. Yeah, but
but again, it's believable it's not over the top because
everybody knows a muggsy.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, oh absolutely, And you know, and it's that that's
the thing. And it's the characters. You know, there are
a little bit of caricatures of probably like you know,
the actual type of person that they're portraying, but not
to the point where, like you said, it's not believable
and it's and it's you know, it's like anything, you know,
you always have to scratch it a little bit, you know,
because it's just what makes the humor.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
You know.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
I love it when everybody in the in the AA
meeting is outside, they're like gathering outside the building. I mean, yeah,
I mean that that stuff's great. And you mentioned new guy.
I was going to ask you about him because he
does steal some of it. I mean, you know, you're terrific.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
You know that that's the thing. Everybody has. Every character
is uniquely funny and they're on their own, they stand alone,
you know, and it's funny but combined hysterical because of
the juxtaposition of everybody. And you know how funny is
the priest Mike, you know, I mean, uh, the priest
on the show is just is one of the funniest
characters to me, hysterical.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
He's and you know something, this is because I loved
I watched the TV my I don't know, my wife.
The Hallmark channel is on all the time in my
house all the time. Yeah, and he was in a
Hallmark movie. Eric, Yeah, and I was like, wait a minute,
that's the priest from Laddermilk or the Priest is hilarious.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Yeah, terical. I mean all the characters, like I said,
everybody is like just you know, onto themselves, like uniquely funny.
But you know, put him together and you get like,
you know, Brian, Wait, you see Brian's character, you know,
the the you know, the arc he has in the
season three it's really he's really impressive. Like we're all
blown away by you know, not that we didn't think
(15:55):
he was a good actor, but just really like man
like Emmy, Emmy Ship. You know.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yes, I'm looking at IMDb Eric Keiley's side, Yeah, yeah,
Father Michael. Well, that's the great thing about about streaming
is we get to see all these great actors.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Oh yeah, there's a lot of a lot of people
that would never you would never even see you know
what I mean, or wouldn't even have a chance. Like
you know, there's a lot of you know, peachs great
for doing that. He brings a lot of people in
that otherwise wouldn't have been you know, discovered or or seen.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
You know, well like n like Ron Lewis, I remember
him from off of space, well off of space, off
of space. And then yeah, but like he really steps
it up in this thing. I mean like in the
coffee shop. In the coffee shop he opens the door
for the woman, then the woman cuts it out. He's hilarious.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
I love that line as he said something on the
lines is yeah for you, I don't want not for
your millennial clown car of whatever. Very funny.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
L David.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Yeah, Hey he's grumpy. He's got a good heart though,
and it's like you know, uh, you know the scene
with with the lumberjack guys too. It kills me when
he's like, you guys are warr enactors, right, that was
very funny, that whole scene.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
But there's again the more you watch it, like you see,
like Mark my watch it all the way through and
then Anottle like you know, a half a year or whatever,
just we'll go back and watch and you'll you'll miss
stuff and you go, oh my god, how did I miss?
That's only there's some really funny stuff that just kind
of slides by.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Uh, we'll get a call for a lot of minutes.
Let's go to Gary and Gary around with Jackie Flynn
on WBZ.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
I am a big comedy fan of sixty man, you know,
a gulla pile, all the family, this that black black
And what I want to say is this, I mean,
let's face it, the old shows are coming back. Uh
you know Andy Griffith is that. Of course we're all
happy because we're older. But let's face it, what happened
to Hollywood? I mean nineteen sixty when they were passing
(17:59):
around in Hollywood and they say, hey, what do you
think about the Beverly Hill Boys? Everybody said, what are you?
Snoopid turned out to be a big hit. What has
happened to Hollywood? That's one question. And the other one
that says, and I'll take you answer and I'll hang up,
is how come we never have a situation of a
family comedy, you know, like a Happy Days or Good
Times where I grew up in a household with my
(18:21):
dad because I'm a single guy, myself when he passed
wind and then his ten.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Year old daughter said, oh Dad, and she goes running
too the bathroom to grab the light. Saw in the audience,
which is us, we're cracking up laughing because it's part
of life and you never see it.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Thank you for a time, all right, Gary, Thanks for
the phone call. I have a lot of thoughts on that.
I don't know about you, Jackie.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Yeah, I mean no, he made a good point, you know,
about the matter of fact. It's funny that he's just
mentioned Andy Griffith show. You know, that's one of Peter
Fairley's favorite shows, and you know, you know Andy Griffith. Uh.
And it's just again, that's like such a going back
to you know, Americana, you know me. And I think, uh,
you know, Hollywood is like anything. I think, it's physical.
I mean, I I long for those days too. I'd
(19:06):
love to see another like Happy Days type show, you
know what I mean. Sometimes I think we've kind of
lost their innocence a little bit, maybe you know.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
With that, but well, I think so. I think one
of the things that has heard comedy when I look
at my kids is say it's on Instagram, it's you know,
it's ten second bits. It's somebody running in the wall,
you know, so to go out and do like a comedy.
It's I think it's just hard to sell now.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
And of course you have the they don't have that,
you know. They have the attention span of a fruit.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Fly most exactly exactly.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
You know, and they don't. You know. It's it's it's
kind of sad, you know. I mean, I'm guilty, but myself,
like I catch myself like I don't read anywhere anywhere
near as much as I used to. And I just
made myself like, you know, sit down and read the
other day, like I go, I'm going to start reading again.
I used to read a book a week at least,
you know, not at least, but you know, a lot, right,
a lot of times reading. I'd read a book and
you know whatever, I just I haven't read. As a
(20:02):
matter of fact, in my own view, I used to read.
I was a big Stephen King fan still am the
horror author, and at one point I had written read
everything he's ever written, like literally fifty books, and when
the next one came, I'd read it. Now I'm like
four or five books behind, and I'm like, oh, my god,
I got to start catching up with all the Stephen
King stuff that I missed. And I never was, but
I was always like, as soon as it came, I
(20:23):
get it. I went wait for paperback and I'd get it.
And I really I'm guilty of that too. I just don't.
I don't read as much as I used to it.
We're all kind of like, you know, in this kind
of instant gratification land. Now you know, there's.
Speaker 3 (20:36):
No doubt about it. There is no doubt about it. Jackie,
can you hang on for another segment? I have some
more questions for you, all right, Jackie Flint joys This
Loudermilk is on Netflix. Check it out, folks, and season
four is coming, thank god. More after this on WBZ,
It's Night Side.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
With Dan Ray on w Boston's news Radio.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Okay, back here on knightsid garyan for and Jackie Flint
is with us. Boston comedian plays Tony Resenting in Loudy
Milk louder Milk. Excuse me, it's getting later, Jackie on
the East Coast, and you got to check it out
on Netflix, uh direct. The Fairly Brothers are involved also
Bobby Mooret. So it's it's really good stuff. I think
(21:18):
it's very hard now for shows to be found Jackie.
Like you talk about Netflix, HBO, Amazon Prime, where you
had your three or four channels before, right, and you
know the banana splits on channel fifty six, so so
a show had time to build. It's really it's really
hard right now. Like you mentioned, the sitcom has gone away,
(21:41):
you know for somebody like Netflix, they just buy Friends
and they rerun it. It's like three generations have watch Friends.
My fourteen year old daughters watched every episode of Friends
as if it was a brand new show. So that's
that's a challenge.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah, but.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Finding it and that's why, like a thing like Loudermilk went.
I started watching it. I was like, I can't believe
people don't know about this show. But that's the challenge now.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah, it kills me. And then when people see it,
like I tell him, I say, watch the show, and
then they call me and say, oh my god, thank you,
that's a great show. I can't believe I didn't know
about it. You know, I'm starting to get more now.
I mean like I get you know when I go
to comedy clubs. Now, like you know, half the crowd,
like they'll say I'm Uloslop and they clap like they're therefore,
you know, because they you know, they saw the show,
(22:28):
so they came in they want to see my stand
up and and that's that's pretty cool because you know,
before I didn't think anyone even knew what the show was,
you know.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Right, Uh, let's talk about stand up for a minute.
How hard is it? How hard is it to be
a stand up comedian when you're competing with Washington when
reality is hilarious?
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Oh god, don't even get me started on that. I
just I can't believe. We're in a lot of trouble
right now. I don't even well, I don't even know
what this is. This world's gone. It's it's kind of crazy,
you know.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Well, really that's the thing is you used to you know,
you would, I mean, you have to laugh or you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Cry, right exactly so exactly.
Speaker 3 (23:06):
So, you know, I imagine as a stand up comic,
how do you handle that now? Because you don't even
have to tell a joke, You just have to recite
what's happening.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Yeah, Well the problem is that, you know, if you
talk about politics like anything, you know, you lose half
the crowd, you know what I mean, it's right, you know,
it's so divisive, and you know, I just there's no uh,
there's no I'm not going to change anybody's minds, just
like they're not going to change my mind I guess.
And it's just uh, I don't know. I just like
I said, I just uh, this is the truth is
(23:38):
stranger in fiction. I just can't believe. I just it's
it's it's hit all a new low. I mean, you know,
if politics were always a little you know, depending on
what side you were, you know, fine, you could, you know,
poke fun at everything. But now it's like, really it's
really gone gone haywire. I'm just uh, I'm really worried. Like, look,
I don't know how much long I got in my life,
but I'm worried about my kids. And my kids is
(24:00):
what kind of what kind of the world is going
to be?
Speaker 3 (24:03):
Well, yeah, when you talk about eliminating the Department of Education,
I'm like, excuse me, what.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
No, it's it's it's it's it's it's a dystopian nightmare,
is what it is. And I just I just get
over it. I just don't understand how anyone doesn't see
this for what it is, It's like he'll have blinders
on it. They're they're twisting themselves into pretzels, trying to
make this seem like normal, you know, like, oh yeah,
it's nothing, you know really you know.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Well, I was teaching at Emerson and I asked the students.
I said, do you believe everything you hear in the
sports media? Now? You know Boston being an unbelievable sports
dat in sports talk? And I try to tell people
sports talk is not reading, you know, the Boston Globe
(24:52):
game story. Okay, sports talk is entertainment. Okay, it started
with Eddie Anilman all the way through now with fell
Maz and all those guys. But what my student said
to me is they don't believe anything, and they don't care.
They don't care. So now we're at a point where
(25:15):
people just believe what they want to believe. You know,
that makes them feel better, which is not a solution.
You know, that's you know, you just believe what you
want to believe. If you want to believe MSNBC, you
watch MSNBC. I mean, I sit here filling in for
Dan Ray and I am CNN on one monitor and
I have Fox on the other and the way their
(25:35):
their graphics are just complete opposite telling the same story.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
So it's unbelievable. I'll give you an example. During the
January sixth riots, I remember in the height of it,
I'm talking about the absolute pinnacle, like when they're fashion
in the windows and you know, literally like as much
of a melee as could be, literally the height of it.
I switched the over to Fox to see this for
(26:01):
the heck of it, to see what they were showing,
because I was curious. And not only were they not
showing it, they were talking about Hunter Biden's laptop right.
Swear on my kids, that's what was happening at the
height of it. Now, so large swaths of this country
A didn't see it happening, and B not only did
they see it happening when the hearings were held the
(26:23):
January sixth herrings to find out to get to the
bottom of it. Not only was Fox not showing the hearings,
they were deriding it the whole time. I remember, betweening
it and seeing Laura Aam going hook here we go again, Russia,
Gabe and all this stuff, and they went commercial free
for three hours so their viewers wouldn't see what was
going on here on Earth one. So I just I'm
(26:47):
just so large swaths of the country didn't see it happened,
really and this in earnest and didn't see the outcome
of what the what the herrings found out that it
was about, and they just you know, the scrub down
version of oh yeah, it was just a bunch of
tourists and peaceful protests and what about the bl BLM
riots and you know, and it's just oh my god,
(27:10):
I mean, look, there there's no cause for rioting, you
know whatever. There's peaceful protest, fine, and the BLM riots,
you know, they were writing about, you know, different They
always it's always a false equivalence as far as I'm concerned.
BLM riots, I thought, you know, and most people would
say it was because of four hundred years of oppression
and Blacks getting beat up by cops. And the difference
(27:33):
is the riots January sixth, they were writing over a
made up election was stolen live right, right, right, right right.
There's no fault that they're not equal, you know, so
not that either one of them is good, you know,
they don't want to have property damage and all that.
But but come on, man, and it's like I understand,
I swear to God. When Donald Trump was president the
(27:54):
first time and the first term, in the middle of it,
when he was doing all the crazy stuff, I remember
saying myself, it would make more sense to me if
Alan Funt walked out right now, you know, I mean,
that would make more sense to me. That's how ludicrous
this says to me. I just can't get over it.
And now he's on this revenge stour, and uh, I
(28:17):
just can't believe it. I just can't believe what I'm watching.
Did you see and again.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
Did you see the movie The Apprentice?
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Believe or not? Until this? This, this, this, you know
it happened. I'm sure I see what.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Did you see the movie The Apprentice?
Speaker 2 (28:32):
Yes? I did, Yeah to me, and.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
I understand it's fiction. I understand it. I thought Sebastian
Standard Jeremy uh Strung with terrific That sets it all up.
It's denied, denied, den I do not deny. And he's
just doing the same stuff.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
It's Roy Cohen, it's ro It's Roy, it's that playbook.
Speaker 3 (28:53):
And then today I almost fell off my chair when
he said let's make it. I want to take over, guys,
and make it the riviera of the Middle East, the.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
One for me. The thing that he hit a new
low as far as I'm concerned, was when the helicopter
crashed into the plane, and the next day at the
press conference, he made it about himself. Yes he did,
and he said I did this and Obama did this,
and I'm I'm sitting there going are.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
You kidding me?
Speaker 2 (29:18):
I mean, read the room. I mean, it's this unbelievable.
I just can't believe what I was watching, even for him.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Right right right, like if I had been president, this
never would have happened.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Yeah, exactly. And that's instead of, like, you know, it
should have been just about I'm sad for the families
this and that we're going to get to the bottom.
I mean, it's just unbelievable. Again, It's I know what
I'm so tired of saying, Garry, I'm so tired of
saying it's beyond the pale, because beyond the pale doesn't
even cover it anymore. We have to come up with
a new saying that it is more than beyond the pale.
(29:53):
You know, it's just like it's just unbelievable. I just
I'm just flabbergasted. And then yeah, I'll talk to a
buddy of mine and it's like, like you said, it's
a completely different viewpoint of it, completely, And I said,
I don't understand how you can't see what this is.
But whatever, again, you know, and I don't have any answer,
(30:15):
by the way, you know, I'm not like saying, oh, well,
I would do better. I just we have to be
better than this as a country.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Well, I also feel and I'm a registered Democrat and
I did not vote for Trump, but I also feel that,
you know, the dam just got to get their act
together too, you know, I mean, we we let the
Fox back in the Hendhouse.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Yeah, there's definitely blame to go all around, but there's
just I mean again, I just think that, you know,
I don't even know where to begin with that, you
know what I mean, And and you know, we just uh,
you know, I'm a little aggravated. Biden. I think should
have you know, should have done what you're supposed to
do and just be a one term president.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
Absolutely, that's that's the problem. Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I was happy with Biden as far as like I
thought he did a good job where he did, and frankly,
in my opinion, Biden's corpse is better than Trump. But
you know, and some people would argue we might have
had that at the end. But all I know is that,
you know, we've got to be better, you know, both
on both sides obviously, But I can't believe this is
(31:20):
the best we can do, you know. And and I
just don't know, Like I don't see any end insight there.
I just hope he I hope he goes away after
this term. That's all I hope. And I right now
like he's doing a whole Victor Obam playbook, if you
asking me.
Speaker 3 (31:37):
But well, I can't imagine what. I've just never seen
anything like it, where you know, you you do the
four years, you say that you can care COVID by
drinking bleach, and you get bounced and you say everybody cheated,
but then you get back in. Like that's the part
that blew my mind. And that's where I felt our
(31:57):
Democratic Party let us do, because we let him back in.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
You know, I don't understand it. I don't understand it.
And how do you have a guy who's a doctor.
Bill Cassidy, Senator for Louisiana I believe it was just
one of the deciding votes when Robert Kennedy junior in health.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
This guy's a doctor.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
It's just it's it's like it really is. It's a
it's Ah. I keep waiting for it to be like
a wake up from this.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Well, listen, Jack, I wanted to have you on to
talk about Loudermilk. I'm sorry I got you all wound up.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
No worries, man, no worries.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Listen, Thanks for coming on. Uh what's coming up next day?
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (32:35):
Are you going on anything you want to promote other
than louder Milk when you guys you know that will
keep an eye on that. But any stand up locally
where you're going to be. What are you got going on?
Speaker 5 (32:45):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (32:46):
I am going to be I'm trying to think I'll
be back at Boston and uh I'm trying to think
I'll be back there in June? Is it right now?
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (32:56):
And uh it'll be you know probably Uh yeah, I'll
be a couple of clubs in June, so hopefully, you know,
it might be there might be sooner than that, but uh,
right now, I got gigs in Florida and I'm all
over the place.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
Well, safe travels, and we look forward to seeing you
back here. Congratulations on Loudermilk. It's thankfully it's no longer
a well kept secret, and I look forward to season four.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Well me too, buddy. From your lips to God's ears
and uh, you know, thanks for you know, thanks for everything, man.
I appreciate the kind words, and uh, you know, let's uh,
let's keep on keeping on brother.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
All right, there you go, Jackie Flat joining us Tony
Rosetti on louder Milk. Check it out on Netflix. Take care,
We'll be back right after this.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Now back to Dan Ray line from the Window World
night Side Studios on w b Z News Radio.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
Well, lucky you. Dan Ray is back tomorrow night, and
Josh Kraft is going to be joining him on night
Side at nine o'clock. I find this mayor race fascinating
because we have two very qualified people in my eyes,
with Josh Kraft in Meriwu, I think they think along
similar lines from what I'm gathering. I think that Josh
(34:09):
feels he can do a better job implementing some of
those things, and it's going to be interesting. I can't wait.
I can't wait for them to debate because I think
they will take barbes at each other. And one of
the things that I enjoy in a debate and an
intellectual discussion is when smart people make fun of each other,
(34:29):
because then it's funny. It's not just Trump tossing bombs.
You know, like anybody can be a bully. It doesn't
take brains to be a bully. It doesn't. It just
takes insecurity, if you will. So I think that that
is going to be fascinating. That is coming up tomorrow
(34:52):
night at nine o'clock right here on Night Side. I
want to thank my guests for coming on the show tonight.
Doctor Chris Streeter of Nichols College got a crew of
students working at the super Bowl. I think that is
great experience, hands on experience. Yes, the books are important,
the classroom is important. You got to get out in
(35:13):
the real world. You got to work with people. You
got to see how things happen in reality. And they're
getting a chance to do that working at the super
Bowl this week. I mean, the super Bowl's not like
I said, I've been the nine of them? Is that
what I said? I'm good, I'm fine, I don't need
to go back. I'm fine. I was there for the
(35:36):
Malcolm Butler interception, which was one of the most unbelievable
things I ever saw, sitting right behind Geno Cappelletti and
just incredible, incredible. Oh is that so? God? I've lost track. God,
I gotta go back, and I gotta be careful. But
(35:56):
I had the opportunity to work with both Gil Santos,
the great Geno Capaletti, and Scott's Areking Bob soci So
I'm sorry, folks, I've lost track of who I worked with.
It's it's just the way it is. But seeing that
live was something else. When Butler made that interception, did
not see that coming. I thought we were cooked. I
(36:18):
really did. I thought we were cooked. Boy. But I'll
tell you that Super Bowl against the Eagles. McNabb never
had a chance, never had a chance. And what a
disaster Jacksonville was. Oh my god, the one that Houston
knows how to as far as the facility goes. Houston
(36:41):
does a good job with the Super Bowl, with the facility,
everything to spread out, though, But the Carolina Panther Super Bowl,
I mean, Jake Delone, what that first half was unbelievable, incredible,
what a finish, all right? So there you go. I'm
(37:01):
going down in the old football rabbit hole. I also
want to thank cousin Todd Todd Fernard from Fernard Properties
talking about the future of in person shopping and check
out ready ready, check it out online? Is psychotropic or
dispensaries marijuana dispensaries and Tori Champagne always good to talk
(37:26):
to him about some of the top five football films
and it is amazing. I mean, I did make the point.
I'll pat myself on the back how you could take
the difference between a baseball film and a football film
represents the sport. I mean, the baseball film is romantic
and majestic and historic and the football film wants to
(37:47):
beach over the head right. And one of the best
football speeches is al Pacino in any given Sunday, that's it.
But that's it though, dressing like a nightclub owner as
the head coach. I still don't know. Torri made a
good point. Al Pacino's coach on any given Sunday? What
(38:12):
is that based on? Who is that? Based on? No clue,
absolutely no clue whatsoever. Remember the Titans for me is
that's probably number two. And then Friday Night lights nothing
like it. I could go back and Rewatch. I don't
(38:34):
know how many seasons there are. I could go back
and watch that easily, easily. I could watch that no problem.
And look, Billy Bob Thornton did a phenomenal job as
the head coach. Kyle Chandler picked it up. You never
see that. You never see a television series match the
(38:57):
success of the movie. And Kyle Chandler is an excellent actor,
but he was not at the level of Billy Bob Thornton.
But to fill his shoes and make it a success,
are you kidding me? That is not easy. That is
not easy to do at all. And we are Marshall
(39:17):
I've forgotten movie and a very good movie. If you
haven't seen it, you should watch it. Mcconney's great, Matthew
Fox is great in it too, about the plane crash
of the Marshall team where a number of players were
lost and they went on to play, and it is
very inspirationally and it is I think it's it's a
(39:39):
story that did not get enough attention, did not get
enough attention at all. So folks, it's been a pleasure
filling in for these three days. Try to take you
away from what's happening in Washington a little bit, have
a little fun talk about some different things. We certainly
did cover what was going on Washington, DC. I don't
(40:01):
think that they're gonna take away the Department of Education.
I don't think that's gonna happen. I don't know what
Trump's methodology is. Maybe just yell and scream yell and
scream yell and scream, and he'll get a little bit
of what he wants. He'll get the Department of Education
to cut back some. I don't know. I I because
(40:27):
that's not going away. Okay, we need it. We need it,
So that's not that's not going away. But obviously Washington
is scared of him because I'll you know, I mean,
if you get our k RFK Junior in there, man,
they'll put anybody in. Sorry, gonna sneak. I had to
(40:50):
shut off the late to sneeze, all right, I gotta
go stand by for news, Rob Brooks, great job as always,
Marita LaRosa aka Lightning, thank you for setting up the show.
Dan Ray, the adult is back in the room tomorrow night.
Josh Kraft, candidate from Mayor nine o'clock tomorrow night. Here
on nights I have a good evening
