Bradley Jay Fills in on NightSide
It seems like every U.S. state has some outdated or downright weird laws that are surprisingly still on the books and Massachusetts is no exception. For example, did you know it’s illegal to put tomatoes in clam chowder? Or that it's illegal to give beer to a hospital patient unless it's prescribed by a doctor!

Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's night Side with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Fast
Boston's Beach Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Yes, this is night Side with Dan Ray. Rather to
Jay for Dan, a shout out to Dan. Also a
shout out to Rob Brooks, who's working the wheel. As
Peter Wolf used to say when I was his producer,
Rob Brooks, he gets it done. Okay, how's that for slogan?
He gets it done? Brooks? Brooksy? All right, now, I
did promise that I was going to get to and
I am fake law. Spot the fake law. I have
(00:29):
a list of actual laws that are weird. Let's choose
US and perhaps other states, and a few fake ones.
Give me a shout at six one, seven, two five,
and I'll give you one. Can you tell me if
it's true or not? And you can even use Google.
And further, I would love it if you try to
stump the host. You've either come up with a weird
(00:52):
law or make one up, and I'll try to. I
will endeavor to tell you if it is true or false.
I feel like I'm gonna get a one. I feel good,
I feel strong. However, I feel like that a lot
and lose badly. In the meantime, I promise to tell
you a little bit about me that I have been
here on WBZ a long a long time. I was
(01:16):
here overnights for six years, so you sort of know me.
But even then I didn't really share much about me.
So you don't know. You don't know where I'm coming from.
You don't know about my work ethic. You don't know
whether I came from some soccer mom family or some
privileged family or some poor family, A city slicker or
(01:40):
a country bumpkin. You don't know, and that stuff matters
because that's formative. I kind of know you. I like
to get to know you. I know many of you
regular Carlers like Doug in Air, Glenn Jenny, Belinda Joyne. Welcome.
I know you, folks. You don't really know me, so
let me give you a little insight before we get
(02:02):
into the fake laws. But if you want to call
now and start the fake law, spot the fake law anytime,
that's fine too, because I can talk about this later.
The number to call is the best word is six, one, seven, two, five, four,
ten thirty. Now. I grew up in a very small town,
(02:26):
super small, seven and twenty people in the country. It
was kind of Gothic rural weird. There's a long distance
between driveways. I had one friend, and it's a good thing.
He was my friend because he was the only kid
my age. He lived one mile away. Had to ride
my bike if I wanted to hang out with him
(02:47):
on his farm. And it was a legit farm with
milk cows and pay bailing and apple orchards and even
he even this kid Robert, he was even charged by
his family with collecting sap from maple trees. He had
(03:09):
to go out pound these spigots into maple trees and
run these plastic hoses and have a drain into buckets.
Then he had to come in and boil it down
in a sugarhouse they had. So that's that's my country upbringing.
We had a grange hall. Do you know what a
grange hall is? The grange was an agricultural society in
(03:30):
the eighteen hundreds, but it also continued well into the
nineteen fifties sixties, and in our town of seven twenty,
we had a grange hall and that's where we'd have
our Halloween party with bobbing for apples, which I was
a champion at. You know. The key to that is
(03:51):
you can't try to nibble at it on the surface.
You got to open your mouth as wide as possible,
drive it to the bottom of the thing and chop
down on it. You win every time. We also had
this thing where we played spin the Poddle on Halloween
in an adult supervised thing. And for some reason, and
(04:12):
I don't know how this worked out, there was some
game where if you won, you got to go in
a closet with a girl for one minute. Crazy, right,
And we were kids now. To give you an idea
of how much different it was then and there, this
game that we played would never fly now. It was
(04:36):
basically a tackle game on a hardwood floor. It was
called Who's Afraid of Me? Also in the Grange Hall
on a wooden floor. It was a building with a
wooden floor in a stage. A lot of things happened there.
The boy Scouts met there. There were bean suppers and
stuff like that there, but there were boy Scout meetings.
In the boy Scout meetings, we played Who's Afraid of
(04:58):
Me to toughen us up, I guess. And here's how
it went. On the hardwood floor in the room with
folding wooden chairs on the side. The chairs would be
cleared out, and the open was an open hardwood floor,
kind of like a football field, and one person would
go out, would be elected somehow to go out and
(05:18):
face the rest of the boy scouts lined up, and
there was a big discrepancy in ages in the boy Scouts,
So there'd be somebody in like the sixth grade and
somebody in eighth grade, and the person in eighth grade
would be three feet taller than the little kid, and
the person would say, who's afraid of me? And everyone
would try to run past them, and he would try.
(05:39):
His job would be to tackle someone like on a
football field, tackle them full on, tackle them down on
the ground and a hardwood floor, and sometimes it wouldn't
be a clean tackle, sometimes be swinging around, knocking into
the wooden chairs, getting cuts and bruises. And there was
only one parent in the whole town that didn't want
(06:00):
their kid to participate. That would actually was Robert's parents.
So that was the different, one big difference. And oh yeah,
another big difference, small, very different. My first experience in
school was a one room schoolhouse, and you might think, wow,
(06:26):
it was that in nineteen twenty. No, it wasn't about
how far, how long ago. It was. It was about
how little this place was. All eight rooms in excuse me,
all eight grades in one room, not one school in
one room, a little room, a little steeple in the
schoolhouse and everything, and you bring your banana and you're
doing a sandwich to school. There was no hot lunch.
(06:49):
And the interesting thing was you'd be sitting beside maybe
an eighth grader, a first grader would be learning eighth
grade stuff because you're sitting beside him. You'd learn that
him or her. You learn that through osmosis. There's something
to that. And of course in recess you'd be playing
these games like keep away, Who's afraid of Me? Dodgeball
(07:10):
or whatever. Also first graders and eighth graders playing together.
And man, when an eighth grader hits you in the
head with a dodgeball and you're in the first grade
and then knocks you right off your feet, you know it.
You fear it. But it was just the way it was.
Nobody complained, nobody was like, that's not right, he's in
the eighth grade. It's just the way it was. Would
(07:33):
I want my kids doing that? Well, I don't have
any children, And that's one of the reasons. I don't
want to have to worry about that. Very briefly, quickly.
Other my jobs. First job raking blueberries. It was child labor,
four cents a pound. It was hell, hot sun, bending
over short bush blueberries, raking them, putting them in the
(07:55):
winnowing machine, lugging them, and the company paid. We made
four cents a pound, but we had to pay twenty
five cents for soda in the hot sun. Terrible. Other
jobs included picking apples hated it, hated it, cold mornings,
damp apples, climbing up in the trees. My brother and
I got fired for throwing because you had to get
(08:18):
all the apples on the tree, even the ones way
out on the branches, the hard ones, and we got
caught throwing the apples. We picked at the apples that
were on the outer branches to try to knock them off.
Caught and fired on the spot, thank god. Other jobs
included dishwasher. I worked at a dump for a summer.
(08:39):
That's right, the Lee, New Hampshire dump. My job was
to make sure people put clear glass in one dumpster,
colored glass in another dumpster, in newspaper and the other dumpster.
If they did it wrong. I had to climb in
the dumpster and get it out. Flies buzzing around, hot Saturday,
stinky yep, yeah up. And that's the way it was.
(09:02):
And we loved it. No, I didn't mind. That was
a work study job at school. And later on I
got a job as a cleaning the operating rooms, detailing
them actually with a toothbrush, cleaning the blood out of
the cracks. You'd be surprised the blood weight like six
feet high up on the walls. How did that get there?
(09:22):
And I used to look at the specimens in the
little bags because there was no one there. It was
all abandoned by that time. This was the full night detailing.
And then when I would see every once in a
while did be an emergency surgery, so I'd get to
peek through the window at it. But I noticed there
were these people that were not doctors that were helping
(09:43):
in the surgery. They were not doctors, they were not nurses.
What are they? They were called operating room technicians. They
learned the skill in the service. Went to high school,
the high school guidance counselor once because they called us town,
what do you want to be? And I said, I
want to be an operating room technician. They said, we've
never heard of that. Get out of here kid. Then
one day the conquered hospital school for operating room technicians
(10:05):
sent a letter saying, any of your kids there want
to be one, and so they called me down. Strangely enough,
you said, yeah, there was one kid that wanted to be.
I went, I applied and I got in, which was
weird because the interview was terrible. They only took six students.
So by the time I was seventeen, I was elbow
(10:26):
deep in people literally doing assisting on aortic aneurysm ruptures
and brain surgery. And you know, they gave me the
simple job. Trust me, I wasn't I was just holding
retractors in the brain. But I was doing brain surgery
at about eighteen and a half. I probably got PTSD
(10:47):
from it. I had some gruesome experiences I worked in
the emergency room. I cannot be too gruesome to share
these for the family show that this is Then I
went to college. At college, I got involved with the
college radio station and then just kept on doing it
because I loved it, and kept on doing it and
(11:09):
got better, better, better better. Finally I got on w
lyn which became w Zephynix, and I got on WBCN.
Then I decided, Man, I kind of like to do
talk shows, so I gradually switched over to talk. It
took about twelve years of filling in and practicing and
being terrible to finally get good at it. And then
(11:31):
you know, I got Finally Steve Levelly left, I got
his gig and here I am Boom So Tom and
Kick God appreciate it. We're gonna after this. We'll take
whatever you want to say, I don't care, and get
into Spot the Fake Law on WBZ.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You're on Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's
news radio.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
All right, let's play Spot the Fake Law, or if
you just want to chat that school too, But that
will be the the framework here of what we talk about.
It's kind of just an excuse to chat with you,
like Tom in Cape Cod. Hello, Tom, thanks for being
with us on WBZ.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Hawaia, Brad, You've seen got a nice way about you.
I've never heard you before, but you seem like you're
a Dan Ring protege.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Well, thank you. I love talking to you, folks, and
I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity. So what
would you like?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Go ahead, as a matter of fact, this as a
matter of fact, this week, I'm going to be calling Dan.
He gave me his phone number to meet him down
here on Cape and have coffee with him.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Oh wow, Well that's cool. He is a great guy.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
He has got that. I've met him a couple of times,
but I'd really like to sit down and have coffee
with him because he's a very fascinating individual. The water
that I've got for you is it's kind of a Terracotian.
It's a a mail is not allowed. I think it's
pretty sure. It's still in the books that you're not allowed.
A male is not allowed to ride behind a woman
on a motorcycle.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Well, I mean the way you present as if it's true.
So a male is not allowed to ride behind a
woman on a motorcycle. Are you telling me this is true?
Or are you asking me to decide if it's true
or false?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
You just decide if it's true or false.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
All right, I'm going to say, I'm going to say
it's false.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
You're right.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Ah nice, I'm a genius. Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
So I want to see I helped you. I helped
you make yourself a genius.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
So wait, you were very stricky though, you saying stuff
like I think it's still on the books, and you
made me doubt myself. Yeah, well I was thinking, you
do see a lot of women riding behind men on motorcycles,
and it wasn't obviously not one of those puritanical puritan
laws from sixteen twenty. So it's a modern law, so
(13:48):
it probably be aduced.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
It wasn't women riding behind men, it's men riding behind women.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Oh well, even weirder.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
That's that's why I also said it was draconian.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yeah, it was very draconian. And when you use the
word draconian, that kind of also made me think, hmm,
that's a kind of real word someone would use if
it was real. So initially I thought it was real.
You want to do do you want to do one?
Just to decide? Okay, the games? Okay? True or false?
(14:25):
Tom in Cape Cod you must have a license to
wear a go tea, and uh yeah, goatee's need to
be licensed.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
That's no, because I have one.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
According to this article, and of course it could be wrong,
and everything's according to this article, but actually I have
corroborated it with two and sometimes three articles. It is true.
There is a law.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Really, there's a.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Law on the books. You have to have a license
to ara goatee. And I do not know why that
would be.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
If anybody can look down, where would I go to get.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
One a go tea license?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yes, that's a good right. I mean supposed would that
would that be at the registry or would that be
at the at the at the health department or they
have to inspect my bed once a year and charge
me thirty five dollars or what?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Yeah, you know, well, I think you would have a
defense and say, officer, officer, I wanted to get the license,
but I I don't know. There's there are no places
to get that license. I think the way it would
work is that certain barbers, maybe all barbers, would would
have the ability to issue you a license for a fee. Yeah,
(15:46):
the registry is busy enough. We don't want to we
don't want to make it busier with go tea licenses.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Well, if they did their jobs, that would be that busy.
But that's another that's a whole other show.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Yeah, that is another show. You want to do another one?
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Why?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Okay, it's illegal to put here in Massachusetts, it's illegal,
not legal to put tomatoes in clam chowder.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
It's not illegal to put tomatoes in clam chowder.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
No, it is. The law is it is illegal to
put tomatoes in clam chowder here in messages.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I'm going to say no because I don't I know
places that do it.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Yep. But according to this article, and it was corroborated,
they could be wrong, but I can only do so
much research. According to more than one article, it's illegal
and that's what you don't see very much. And that's
where you have to mostly go to New York to
get that. But why would.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I guess, why would anyone want to get it? I
don't know, but I guess I can't call myself the
smartest guy in the room anymore. Huh.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah, I do have a question. Where do you who
do you think has the best clam chowder in anywhere
around New England?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Captain Parker's and Cape Card.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Never been wearing the cave.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
It's right right Actually it's right on Parker's River, that's
where it gets the name. It's on Route twenty eight
in Yarmouth. Oh, but they have they have the Cape
Card Chowderfest and.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
For the first I think it was the.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
First ten years, Captain Parker's won every time, and Jerry Manning,
the owner of Captain Parker's, voluntarily stopped entering his product
in and he is the first member of the Cape
Card Chowder Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
So he's got of like George Washington. He voluntarily did
not run again, right, he.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Did not, And he started the Cape Card chout of
the Cape Card Chowder Hall of Fame, and they have
a chowderfest down here and everything, and it's a big, big,
big deal. There's a lot of people, a lot of
big name restaurants from Boston and everything that him up
to the Cape to get into it, to get involved
in the Cape Guard count of us. But if you're
(18:05):
ever down this way when you see if you come
down to see Dan or something like that, make him
take it to Captain Parkers. I'm sure he's been there. Okay,
it's a great place.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
I won't say no to that. Thank you very much. Tom,
you're cool. I'm glad you joined in with us. Thanks.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Well, it's great. I'm glad you're on it. I've had
some issues with a couple of people at Dan that
have totally thank you very much, but that have a
totally different outlook than Dan. And I listened to Dan
because because he's Dan and you're You're You're an absolute
addition and a protegee of his. I can see that
(18:44):
very well. Just speak listening to your speak for these
very shoe for I just started listening to you about
ten thirty.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
So you know it used to be a dance producer,
and I learned a lot. I learned everything I know
from Dan.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
That's where I know the name from. Okay, that's where
I know your name from. Well, thank you, Tom, Yeah, well,
thank you very much. You have a great career.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Thank you you too cool. Speaking of chowder, I love chowder.
A lot of times, I go to a restaurant and hey,
I don't want a big meal because I don't want
to pay the outrageous prices. And I don't want a
big meal because I don't because I'm trying to lose
weight or at least trying to stay in control, and
I don't really need a big thing. So chowder is
(19:26):
the answer. Yeah it's fatty, but still it's very satisfying.
And so I get chowder. And I've heard rumors that, Uh,
the chowder at the sail Loft in Boston is the
best chowder. There's someone that swears up and down. But
I'll tell you, Uh, I used to go. I go
(19:48):
on a lot of trips. I go to the airport,
and I used to there. Used to be a place
called Vino Volo or something, a little place that serve wine,
and I used to go there and get their pizza.
But they closed. So I ended up going to Legal
Seafood and I got the Legal Seafood chowder, and I
gotta admit it was fantastic. I loved it so much,
(20:08):
and I thought it was kind of a fair deal
because I like a deal because it was so satisfying.
So I got like a Sam Adam's beer and I
cup up chowder from Legal Seafood, and I was good
to go. If anybody else has, if you want to
do a little add on to whatever you call about,
(20:29):
if you have a favorite chowder spot, well I'd like
to we'd all like to know about it. Showder rules,
especially around here in New England. I and by the way,
I love fish chowder. You don't hear fish chowder about
fish chowder so much. I know you can get fish
chowder at the Union Oyster House, which is a favorite
of mine. If I try to go and there's no
(20:50):
one there, sit at the bar, get a chocolate martini
and some fish chowder. That doesn't really sound like it
goes very well, does it? Okay, let me give you
a couple more laws, and you tell me they're real
or they're fake. I'm got a scroll to the next
(21:11):
one here, I'm looking at my computer. It is illegal
to eat peanuts in church. What do you think? Illegal
to eat peanuts in church? Why would that be? Was
it those darn Puritans again, don't want anybody to have
any fun? Was it the shells on the floor? Was
(21:33):
it the sound of the shells cracking open? But tell
me is that a real rule or a fake rule?
I'll give you one more. True or false? Unicycles are
actually illegal in Massachusetts. It was thought that anyone who
could ride a unicycle was possessed by demons. The law
(21:54):
was scrapped in nineteen ninety three after pressure from an
alliance formed by the bicycle lobby and a Street for
Ormers group. So true or false? Unicycles are actually illegal
in Massachusetts? And do you have one for me? I
love that Tom gave me a couple try making one up.
Or you can just google weird Laws of Massachusetts and
(22:15):
give me the quiz. Try to stump the host. It's
a lot of fun and it's a good conversation starter.
I get to know you a little bit and we'll continue.
We'll do that after this on WBZ.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
It's Night Side with Dan Ray on wb Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Yes, it is Nightside with Dan Ray Bradley and tonight
for Dan Ray. I gotta remember to shout out to
a gentleman named John. John, I believe is a homeless
person and he hangs out. If you go to work
and you're at the Charles mgh stop on the Red Line,
he's down there and he's the kindest, nicest guy, and
(22:54):
he listens to wb Z all the time, and I
just want to say, you know, hi, John, I appreciate
you and hang in there. I know the winter's coming
and it's a bummer on your homeless. It's always a
bummer on your homeless, but I guess, particularly in the winter.
But I don't know how you do it, but you know,
you keep your head up and it's such an interesting
and upbeat guy, Thank you John John at the MGH,
(23:18):
Charles stop. It's about the false law. There are a
lot of weird laws that are real in Massachusetts, and
they're so weird that I actually made some up also weird,
and I bet you can't even tell the difference between them.
That's the framework that we're working with here. But you
know you can call him chat really, that's easy going.
(23:40):
Last twenty to twenty five minutes, we go to Glenn
and there he is, Ladies and gentlemen, Glenn in writing,
how do you do well?
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Pretty good. I'm sorry to go last week, but anyway,
I want to give a shout out before before I
got to Wane the horse guy, the post office guy
in Marshfield.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Oh yeah, Wayne, well he formerly a horse guy, now
a dog guy. He shows is a big right big
doggie shows and he does very well.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Wayne Greenside is his name, Yeah, Wayne Greenside. Yeah, he
owes me a phone call. He's mad at me that
I'm a Trump supporter because of Lewis the Joy well,
the post office. You know, Lewis to Joy. I think
that's the reason.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I see, well, okay gets that message. So hey, you
want to take a shot at guessing which lars really.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Well, a friend of mine that lives in Stove, Vermont,
was telling me in the twenties, well, they had a
bloom more in Vermont that you can't listen to the
radio if you're taking a bath on Sunday. Now, there
are two problems with it. Number one, it didn't matter
(24:53):
with the radio. You know, some transistors don't run on
house current, they only one on battery. The and who's
an electric thing? Like safety? It wouldn't be so would
be every day if they were afraid of electrics, you
should like a VIDI. So that's pretty weird.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
So you're you're not asking me, you're telling me a guy.
A guy told you. Yeah, there is something about taking
a bath. On taking baths, there's I think I actually
have one of those. I'll try to find it, but
well I want I don't want to take time trying
to find it. So I mean, we can't have a
bunch of dead air while I look for it. But yeah,
(25:31):
I heard I heard something related to that, and yeah,
you're right. First I thought, well, you don't want to
be listening to the radio in the tub, because how
many lives have been lost when the radio falls in
the top. But I know very bad.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Okay, let me.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
See if you can guess here. It's illegal to eat
penis in church, at least in Massachusetts. I don't know
if there's a federal I don't think there's a fer
What what about that? Yes or no? True or false?
Illegally eat peanuts in church?
Speaker 4 (26:07):
He eat penuts in church?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Eat peanuts in church?
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Yes, yeah, that's I'll bit you. It's true because I
wouldn't put put it past some Southern Baptist. I was
raised Southern Baptist, So to do something.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Like that, are you from the South or you just
raised Southern bath No?
Speaker 4 (26:26):
No, but just the no, just the you know there's
American Baptists and Southern Baptist Southern star. What means women
can't be pastors, You can't take community if they don't
think you're a Christian. You have to be biblical, not cultural.
Like I'm a cultural Christian. I'm not a biblical Christian.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Okay, all right, I want you to do another one here.
It's illegal to have a gorilla in the back seat
of any car.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
Yes, that's true.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
You knew that was true.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Oh no, my friend is still from out went on
I don't know Google, I don't know what he went
online at and he found a bunch of them.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Yep, well that's correct. It is true. It is interesting
that no mention is made of the front seats.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
There's one you can't eat an orange on subject, but
I don't know what state it's in.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Well, I do you suppose you can have a gorilla
in the front seat but not in the backside?
Speaker 1 (27:19):
That was my question.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Great mind tickle, like, what's going on with it?
Speaker 2 (27:26):
All right, let's do let's do one more. We do
have Alan Saugust get too, but you know I don't.
I want to make sure you get it.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
I don't have an Okay, Yeah, sure I got one.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Yeah, okay. True or false. Unicycles are actually illegal in Massachusetts.
It was thought that anyone who could ride a unicycle
was possessed by demons. The law was scrapped in nineteen
ninety three after pressure from an alliance formed by the
bicycle lobby and a street performer group. True or false, Yes,
true or false?
Speaker 4 (27:59):
True?
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I made that up myself.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Oh that's a good one. You know you tripped up
the blind piano tuner. That's all right.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Yeah, Look, I have never been a liar, But it's
pretty clear that you can't really get ahead these days
unless you're a liar. So I'm practicing, and I find that.
I find it one of the keys to lying is
to give a lot of details that do you think
they wouldn't give all those details like that? Like, and
I phrase it in an official way and make it
(28:29):
as crazy as possible. So yeah, that's completely false.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Yeah, very quickly before I go, my parents smack me
for leaving my Jammy's in the bathroom, just like I
was raising the same kind of family you were.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
So did I already tell you that? Did I already
say that happen to me too?
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Yeah, you're back when over years ago?
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah, well that's correct. And the thing is, it was
like I would space out and I would just me too.
There's certain things I would base out on. So here's
another thing that I that I space out on now,
and it's the same thing. I go downstairs to do
the laundry and the laundry room in my building, I
have a laundry card. I put the laundry card in
(29:11):
the machine. On the machine, you know, select heavy load,
hot water, blah blah blah. Then I walk away. It's
like a weird mental block. And it was the same
thing with the pajamas, and so I did it once,
I did it twice. I had three times, and they
thought I was just being belligerent. So it had and
then it went to okay, the new rule. Every time
(29:35):
you leave your pajamas on the bathroom floor in the morning,
you're gonna get a bare bottom spank with a hair brush.
And you're not gonna believe. I had to get up
to seven of them before I started to remember.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
I got mine with it. I got mine with a
built But all right, well I know that belt.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Yeah, I'm a users worse than mine. I think a
hairbrush is hair brush hurts, but it's not. It's not
like the belt.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
My dad even had a name for his belt. He
called it Irving because his grandfather's middle name was Irving.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
So you feared Irving, I guess right. Yes, what else
did he whip out irving on you for.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Wedding the bed?
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Wow, that's too bad. You didn't do that on purpose.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
No, he thought I did it to punish God. I'm like,
oh yeah, I'm gonna wake up and sold the yellow
steamed cheese so I can punish God like you're.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Thinking you're thinking about that at all. I'm gonna go,
Oh my god, Wow, I bet you got I bet
you have a lot lot more stories that we probably
shouldn't even get into.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Selling them. You could, but you're right. Next time, brother, Yeah,
my dad apologized when we go after I became't we
drank beer one night? How I'm sorry about the way
it was in nineteen eighty four when I was thirty one.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Did you forgive him?
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Yes? Because he was crying. I mean, the guy's a
World War II veteran. He's putting his head on my
shoulder crying.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
One man who realized that he was wrong.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
He had a lot of Christian friends and churches that said,
you know, George, you were gun an apology. Wow, I
forgive you.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
And then did you get along with him after that?
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Yes? I got closure.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
What a good story, Glenn, What a good story. Well,
thank you so much. I appreciate it, And all right,
talk to you soon. This is my last week, so
you know I'm looking forward to my next time and
speaking with you again.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
Named you are quite Friday, and space will come cheating.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I hear nothing, I see nothing.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Yeah, right, take care?
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Who said that. By the way, I see nothing. It
was a character in a sitcom. I won't tell you
any more than that. So eleven forty five and I
got Alan, Targus and David and San Francisco. So why
don't we do a brief little break here to take it.
Take a breath, and we'll continue in a moment. On
(32:13):
WBZ It's Night Side with Dan Ray on w b
Boston's news radio spot, The Fake Law. I have a
couple of folks ready to talk, but I want to
throw off this new law to tell you to ask
you if it is a real one or a fake one.
There are a lot of weird laws that's still on
the books in Massachusetts and other states, and they're so
(32:36):
weird that I bet I could make up, you know,
some weird ones that and you wouldn't know which is which.
So I'm gonna give you another one here, and you
tell me what you think true are false, You're gonna be.
You got a fifty percent chance of being right. By then,
By the way, the numbers six, one, seven, two, five,
(32:58):
true or false. It is illegal to make a blackbird pie.
And this is because after the rhyme of remember the
rhyme sing a song of sixpence became popular. People started
to trap blackbirds and make meat pies out of them.
It actually didn't take twenty four blackbirds the average of
(33:18):
six to seven. No one has bothered to repeal the
law because people just stopped doing that. I don't know
if the pies didn't taste good or what. But by
the way, here's the rhyme. Does anyone remember it? Sing
a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye four
and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie. When the pie
(33:39):
was opened, the birds began to sing. Wasn't that a
dainty dish to set before the king? The king was
in his counting house counting out his money. The queen
was in the parlor eating bread and honey. The maid
was in the garden hanging out the clothes, when down
(33:59):
came a blackbird and pecked off her nose. Things were
tough back then. There are a couple more verses because
there was some thought that at the time that was severe.
So the couple more verses talk about some other kind
of birds came back and stuck her nose on. True,
(34:20):
I mean, you know, true. We go to Alans August.
He's gonna tell us if he thinks that is a true,
real law or a fake law made up by yours truly?
Speaker 5 (34:31):
Hi, el, can I phone a friend? I have no
idea about that one, but I'll just say it's I'll
say it's true. Fifty to fifty, I slipped a coin.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Okay, it's false. I made it up.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Oh you're a wicked soul. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
And here again, I'm trying to learn how to lie,
because it's pretty clear that's the path of success. They
used to say, honest, he's the best policy, but it
doesn't seem to be that. I don't know if it
really was then, it certainly doesn't seem to be now.
And I'm a terrible liar, terrible. I got one fun
so in practicing.
Speaker 5 (35:06):
Okay, I'm ready, you're ready?
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Yeah, all right?
Speaker 5 (35:09):
Is it illegal to draw on money for fun? Let's say,
put a mustache on George Washington?
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Yes it is.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
It is not.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
No, as long as long as your art, so to speak.
Does it make the bill unusable or cover key features?
What are the key features?
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Not his mustache?
Speaker 2 (35:30):
The number right?
Speaker 5 (35:32):
The serial numbers are the Treasury seal. But I always
thought it was illegal to mark a Bill totally. I agreed.
I was with you.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Interesting, God, I learned something. I learned a lot every
day with you guys.
Speaker 5 (35:43):
Now, are you Are you a baseball fan like Bill
Dan Ray?
Speaker 2 (35:48):
No? Not even I mean I like the game, but
I'm not an expert at all like that, not like Dan.
Speaker 5 (35:52):
Because the goroa situation came up theo Epstein when he
was leaving the Red Sox or something. He put on
a gorilla suit to leave them way park to avoid
the media, and he almost got arrested. He was in
the back seat of a car, but when they realized
there was a gorilla costume, they let him go.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Is that true? I mean, okay, yes, I believe you,
of course about the heyo, I believe you. I don't
know any But do you really think all the police
officers on the beat that they know that the gorilla
in the back seat rule?
Speaker 5 (36:23):
No, the second part of this, the first part is true.
He did dress in a gorilla costume, okay, but he
didn't get pulled over.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Oh so I was kind of right. I was doubting
that because I can't imagine if you have you know,
walked up to a police officer and say, uh, can
you tell me about the gorilla in the back seat rule?
Speaker 1 (36:40):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
I don't think.
Speaker 5 (36:42):
How about those people that put a dummy in the
front seat to go through the ho V lane.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
You know, you take your chances when you do that.
I don't know how effective that is. I know some
of them get busted, but I don't know. I don't
know how realistic the dummy is, but I would imagine that.
I wonder if you get busted for that. Do you
get busted for more than just hov? Do you get
(37:10):
busted for some other technicality of trying to fool the police?
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
It could be.
Speaker 5 (37:15):
Now let me ask you. You talking about night clothing, do
you say pajamas or pajamas?
Speaker 2 (37:21):
Pajamas?
Speaker 3 (37:22):
Me?
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Two pajamas.
Speaker 5 (37:24):
Yeah, I don't really.
Speaker 2 (37:25):
Have anything against pajamas, but that's not me pajamas. Pajamas, Nah,
I'm pajamas.
Speaker 5 (37:30):
Now do you have siblings, I don't you grow up.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
With two younger bros.
Speaker 5 (37:35):
When you were watching TV on the couch and you
had to get up and go to the bathroom, could
you save your spot or is it up for grabs?
Speaker 2 (37:42):
Never came up. I think it was up for grabs.
Speaker 5 (37:46):
You must have enough cheers.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
I have five.
Speaker 5 (37:49):
I have five of us two.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
So here's oh yeah, speaking of pronunciation, And then I
got a quick run.
Speaker 5 (37:56):
Is it khakis or khakis khakis?
Speaker 2 (37:59):
You see? I always said khakis, but everybody else will
say it's khakis khaki.
Speaker 5 (38:05):
And if you see a car, have you seen those
cars with the light tan color? And it's like, what's
that color? I asked the guy. It's called desert khaki.
It's a new color that's out on cars. It's a
light tan, very light tan. Head asked the guy.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
What color is that?
Speaker 5 (38:20):
Desert khaki?
Speaker 2 (38:21):
Sounds like a fancy color, fancy name for beige. Hey, Elliott,
I love I love on Nicarl, Thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
All Right, have a great night. You're fun.
Speaker 5 (38:29):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
So we have time with David in San Francisco. David,
it's still it's only what eight fifty five where you are?
What's going on? David in San Francisco?
Speaker 3 (38:40):
Hey, bro, hey brother. Yeah. About fifty years ago I
went to a bar. It's im from Baltimore, and we
drove up to York County, Pennsylvania, and there was a
bar there. It was called the County Line. And on
one half of the bar, you couldn't stand up with
us rank and on the other half of the bar
(39:01):
you couldn't sit down with.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
A drink because the laws are a different one to.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
Move you to the bartender the waitress to carry your
drink over.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
That is wild. If that's true. Okay, let me give
you one more. Let me give you one more, and
you tell me if this is a real weird Massachusetts
law or not. Hi, are you ready, David? Okay? True
or false? Even though everyone ignores the law, competing or
attending a sporting event that is illegal and listened to
(39:35):
a church sporting event as part in Massachusetts and listened
to a church sporting event, and this is on Sunday,
by the way. For example, a croquet game or a
badminton game would be legal if it's part of a
church potluck. Separate or proceeds go to the church. But
other than that, no sports on Sundays. Puritans enacted the
law in sixteen forty one, shortly after Boston was incorporated.
(39:55):
True or false.
Speaker 4 (39:58):
True, No, I made it up.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
I stumped you guys on everyone of the four that
I am. I'm becoming a much better liar. And the
key was the details you think. There's so many details.
He wouldn't have gone.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
That far I did, Riley. I have a question for you.
I want to name four musical groups I want to
tell you. I want you to tell me what they
have in common? Okay, is Grateful Dad, Eurythmics and Traveling Woolbury's.
(40:31):
What do they have in common?
Speaker 4 (40:35):
WHOA.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
I'm completely stumped, David, I'm completely stumped. I give up.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
None of them musical word though, Okay, on their license,
none of them musical word.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
The interesting.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
When they go sign up for a performance, concert or
whatever they have to they have to sign it without
the word though.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
That's legit. You got me. You stumped the heck on me, David.
Always a pleasure to hear from you. I am out
of time. I got thirty seconds to go. I cannot
tell you, folks, how much of a pleasure it is
for me to connect with you and speak with you.
I love the whole process. I love the booking, the guests,
the prepper of the show, and most of all, I
(41:17):
love interacting with you. So thanks for making it possible,
and I'll talk to you tomorrow and then through Friday.
Thanks again, Rob Brooks for working the wheel, and I'm
looking forward tomorrow. It's WBZ
It's night Side with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Fast
Boston's Beach Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Yes, this is night Side with Dan Ray. Rather to
Jay for Dan, a shout out to Dan. Also a
shout out to Rob Brooks, who's working the wheel. As
Peter Wolf used to say when I was his producer,
Rob Brooks, he gets it done. Okay, how's that for slogan?
He gets it done? Brooks? Brooksy? All right, now, I
did promise that I was going to get to and
I am fake law. Spot the fake law. I have
(00:29):
a list of actual laws that are weird. Let's choose
US and perhaps other states, and a few fake ones.
Give me a shout at six one, seven, two five,
and I'll give you one. Can you tell me if
it's true or not? And you can even use Google.
And further, I would love it if you try to
stump the host. You've either come up with a weird
(00:52):
law or make one up, and I'll try to. I
will endeavor to tell you if it is true or false.
I feel like I'm gonna get a one. I feel good,
I feel strong. However, I feel like that a lot
and lose badly. In the meantime, I promise to tell
you a little bit about me that I have been
here on WBZ a long a long time. I was
(01:16):
here overnights for six years, so you sort of know me.
But even then I didn't really share much about me.
So you don't know. You don't know where I'm coming from.
You don't know about my work ethic. You don't know
whether I came from some soccer mom family or some
privileged family or some poor family, A city slicker or
(01:40):
a country bumpkin. You don't know, and that stuff matters
because that's formative. I kind of know you. I like
to get to know you. I know many of you
regular Carlers like Doug in Air, Glenn Jenny, Belinda Joyne. Welcome.
I know you, folks. You don't really know me, so
let me give you a little insight before we get
(02:02):
into the fake laws. But if you want to call
now and start the fake law, spot the fake law anytime,
that's fine too, because I can talk about this later.
The number to call is the best word is six, one, seven, two, five, four,
ten thirty. Now. I grew up in a very small town,
(02:26):
super small, seven and twenty people in the country. It
was kind of Gothic rural weird. There's a long distance
between driveways. I had one friend, and it's a good thing.
He was my friend because he was the only kid
my age. He lived one mile away. Had to ride
my bike if I wanted to hang out with him
(02:47):
on his farm. And it was a legit farm with
milk cows and pay bailing and apple orchards and even
he even this kid Robert, he was even charged by
his family with collecting sap from maple trees. He had
(03:09):
to go out pound these spigots into maple trees and
run these plastic hoses and have a drain into buckets.
Then he had to come in and boil it down
in a sugarhouse they had. So that's that's my country upbringing.
We had a grange hall. Do you know what a
grange hall is? The grange was an agricultural society in
(03:30):
the eighteen hundreds, but it also continued well into the
nineteen fifties sixties, and in our town of seven twenty,
we had a grange hall and that's where we'd have
our Halloween party with bobbing for apples, which I was
a champion at. You know. The key to that is
(03:51):
you can't try to nibble at it on the surface.
You got to open your mouth as wide as possible,
drive it to the bottom of the thing and chop
down on it. You win every time. We also had
this thing where we played spin the Poddle on Halloween
in an adult supervised thing. And for some reason, and
(04:12):
I don't know how this worked out, there was some
game where if you won, you got to go in
a closet with a girl for one minute. Crazy, right,
And we were kids now. To give you an idea
of how much different it was then and there, this
game that we played would never fly now. It was
(04:36):
basically a tackle game on a hardwood floor. It was
called Who's Afraid of Me? Also in the Grange Hall
on a wooden floor. It was a building with a
wooden floor in a stage. A lot of things happened there.
The boy Scouts met there. There were bean suppers and
stuff like that there, but there were boy Scout meetings.
In the boy Scout meetings, we played Who's Afraid of
(04:58):
Me to toughen us up, I guess. And here's how
it went. On the hardwood floor in the room with
folding wooden chairs on the side. The chairs would be
cleared out, and the open was an open hardwood floor,
kind of like a football field, and one person would
go out, would be elected somehow to go out and
(05:18):
face the rest of the boy scouts lined up, and
there was a big discrepancy in ages in the boy Scouts,
So there'd be somebody in like the sixth grade and
somebody in eighth grade, and the person in eighth grade
would be three feet taller than the little kid, and
the person would say, who's afraid of me? And everyone
would try to run past them, and he would try.
(05:39):
His job would be to tackle someone like on a
football field, tackle them full on, tackle them down on
the ground and a hardwood floor, and sometimes it wouldn't
be a clean tackle, sometimes be swinging around, knocking into
the wooden chairs, getting cuts and bruises. And there was
only one parent in the whole town that didn't want
(06:00):
their kid to participate. That would actually was Robert's parents.
So that was the different, one big difference. And oh yeah,
another big difference, small, very different. My first experience in
school was a one room schoolhouse, and you might think, wow,
(06:26):
it was that in nineteen twenty. No, it wasn't about
how far, how long ago. It was. It was about
how little this place was. All eight rooms in excuse me,
all eight grades in one room, not one school in
one room, a little room, a little steeple in the
schoolhouse and everything, and you bring your banana and you're
doing a sandwich to school. There was no hot lunch.
(06:49):
And the interesting thing was you'd be sitting beside maybe
an eighth grader, a first grader would be learning eighth
grade stuff because you're sitting beside him. You'd learn that
him or her. You learn that through osmosis. There's something
to that. And of course in recess you'd be playing
these games like keep away, Who's afraid of Me? Dodgeball
(07:10):
or whatever. Also first graders and eighth graders playing together.
And man, when an eighth grader hits you in the
head with a dodgeball and you're in the first grade
and then knocks you right off your feet, you know it.
You fear it. But it was just the way it was.
Nobody complained, nobody was like, that's not right, he's in
the eighth grade. It's just the way it was. Would
(07:33):
I want my kids doing that? Well, I don't have
any children, And that's one of the reasons. I don't
want to have to worry about that. Very briefly, quickly.
Other my jobs. First job raking blueberries. It was child labor,
four cents a pound. It was hell, hot sun, bending
over short bush blueberries, raking them, putting them in the
(07:55):
winnowing machine, lugging them, and the company paid. We made
four cents a pound, but we had to pay twenty
five cents for soda in the hot sun. Terrible. Other
jobs included picking apples hated it, hated it, cold mornings,
damp apples, climbing up in the trees. My brother and
I got fired for throwing because you had to get
(08:18):
all the apples on the tree, even the ones way
out on the branches, the hard ones, and we got
caught throwing the apples. We picked at the apples that
were on the outer branches to try to knock them off.
Caught and fired on the spot, thank god. Other jobs
included dishwasher. I worked at a dump for a summer.
(08:39):
That's right, the Lee, New Hampshire dump. My job was
to make sure people put clear glass in one dumpster,
colored glass in another dumpster, in newspaper and the other dumpster.
If they did it wrong. I had to climb in
the dumpster and get it out. Flies buzzing around, hot Saturday,
stinky yep, yeah up. And that's the way it was.
(09:02):
And we loved it. No, I didn't mind. That was
a work study job at school. And later on I
got a job as a cleaning the operating rooms, detailing
them actually with a toothbrush, cleaning the blood out of
the cracks. You'd be surprised the blood weight like six
feet high up on the walls. How did that get there?
(09:22):
And I used to look at the specimens in the
little bags because there was no one there. It was
all abandoned by that time. This was the full night detailing.
And then when I would see every once in a
while did be an emergency surgery, so I'd get to
peek through the window at it. But I noticed there
were these people that were not doctors that were helping
(09:43):
in the surgery. They were not doctors, they were not nurses.
What are they? They were called operating room technicians. They
learned the skill in the service. Went to high school,
the high school guidance counselor once because they called us town,
what do you want to be? And I said, I
want to be an operating room technician. They said, we've
never heard of that. Get out of here kid. Then
one day the conquered hospital school for operating room technicians
(10:05):
sent a letter saying, any of your kids there want
to be one, and so they called me down. Strangely enough,
you said, yeah, there was one kid that wanted to be.
I went, I applied and I got in, which was
weird because the interview was terrible. They only took six students.
So by the time I was seventeen, I was elbow
(10:26):
deep in people literally doing assisting on aortic aneurysm ruptures
and brain surgery. And you know, they gave me the
simple job. Trust me, I wasn't I was just holding
retractors in the brain. But I was doing brain surgery
at about eighteen and a half. I probably got PTSD
(10:47):
from it. I had some gruesome experiences I worked in
the emergency room. I cannot be too gruesome to share
these for the family show that this is Then I
went to college. At college, I got involved with the
college radio station and then just kept on doing it
because I loved it, and kept on doing it and
(11:09):
got better, better, better better. Finally I got on w
lyn which became w Zephynix, and I got on WBCN.
Then I decided, Man, I kind of like to do
talk shows, so I gradually switched over to talk. It
took about twelve years of filling in and practicing and
being terrible to finally get good at it. And then
(11:31):
you know, I got Finally Steve Levelly left, I got
his gig and here I am Boom So Tom and
Kick God appreciate it. We're gonna after this. We'll take
whatever you want to say, I don't care, and get
into Spot the Fake Law on WBZ.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You're on Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's
news radio.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
All right, let's play Spot the Fake Law, or if
you just want to chat that school too, But that
will be the the framework here of what we talk about.
It's kind of just an excuse to chat with you,
like Tom in Cape Cod. Hello, Tom, thanks for being
with us on WBZ.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Hawaia, Brad, You've seen got a nice way about you.
I've never heard you before, but you seem like you're
a Dan Ring protege.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Well, thank you. I love talking to you, folks, and
I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity. So what
would you like?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Go ahead, as a matter of fact, this as a
matter of fact, this week, I'm going to be calling Dan.
He gave me his phone number to meet him down
here on Cape and have coffee with him.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Oh wow, Well that's cool. He is a great guy.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
He has got that. I've met him a couple of times,
but I'd really like to sit down and have coffee
with him because he's a very fascinating individual. The water
that I've got for you is it's kind of a Terracotian.
It's a a mail is not allowed. I think it's
pretty sure. It's still in the books that you're not allowed.
A male is not allowed to ride behind a woman
on a motorcycle.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Well, I mean the way you present as if it's true.
So a male is not allowed to ride behind a
woman on a motorcycle. Are you telling me this is true?
Or are you asking me to decide if it's true
or false?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
You just decide if it's true or false.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
All right, I'm going to say, I'm going to say
it's false.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
You're right.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Ah nice, I'm a genius. Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
So I want to see I helped you. I helped
you make yourself a genius.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
So wait, you were very stricky though, you saying stuff
like I think it's still on the books, and you
made me doubt myself. Yeah, well I was thinking, you
do see a lot of women riding behind men on motorcycles,
and it wasn't obviously not one of those puritanical puritan
laws from sixteen twenty. So it's a modern law, so
(13:48):
it probably be aduced.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
It wasn't women riding behind men, it's men riding behind women.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Oh well, even weirder.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
That's that's why I also said it was draconian.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Yeah, it was very draconian. And when you use the
word draconian, that kind of also made me think, hmm,
that's a kind of real word someone would use if
it was real. So initially I thought it was real.
You want to do do you want to do one?
Just to decide? Okay, the games? Okay? True or false?
(14:25):
Tom in Cape Cod you must have a license to
wear a go tea, and uh yeah, goatee's need to
be licensed.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
That's no, because I have one.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
According to this article, and of course it could be wrong,
and everything's according to this article, but actually I have
corroborated it with two and sometimes three articles. It is true.
There is a law.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Really, there's a.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Law on the books. You have to have a license
to ara goatee. And I do not know why that
would be.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
If anybody can look down, where would I go to get.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
One a go tea license?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yes, that's a good right. I mean supposed would that
would that be at the registry or would that be
at the at the at the health department or they
have to inspect my bed once a year and charge
me thirty five dollars or what?
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Yeah, you know, well, I think you would have a
defense and say, officer, officer, I wanted to get the license,
but I I don't know. There's there are no places
to get that license. I think the way it would
work is that certain barbers, maybe all barbers, would would
have the ability to issue you a license for a fee. Yeah,
(15:46):
the registry is busy enough. We don't want to we
don't want to make it busier with go tea licenses.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Well, if they did their jobs, that would be that busy.
But that's another that's a whole other show.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Yeah, that is another show. You want to do another one?
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Why?
Speaker 2 (16:02):
Okay, it's illegal to put here in Massachusetts, it's illegal,
not legal to put tomatoes in clam chowder.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
It's not illegal to put tomatoes in clam chowder.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
No, it is. The law is it is illegal to
put tomatoes in clam chowder here in messages.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I'm going to say no because I don't I know
places that do it.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Yep. But according to this article, and it was corroborated,
they could be wrong, but I can only do so
much research. According to more than one article, it's illegal
and that's what you don't see very much. And that's
where you have to mostly go to New York to
get that. But why would.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
I guess, why would anyone want to get it? I
don't know, but I guess I can't call myself the
smartest guy in the room anymore. Huh.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah, I do have a question. Where do you who
do you think has the best clam chowder in anywhere
around New England?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Captain Parker's and Cape Card.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Never been wearing the cave.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
It's right right Actually it's right on Parker's River, that's
where it gets the name. It's on Route twenty eight
in Yarmouth. Oh, but they have they have the Cape
Card Chowderfest and.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
For the first I think it was the.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
First ten years, Captain Parker's won every time, and Jerry Manning,
the owner of Captain Parker's, voluntarily stopped entering his product
in and he is the first member of the Cape
Card Chowder Hall of Fame.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
So he's got of like George Washington. He voluntarily did
not run again, right, he.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Did not, And he started the Cape Card chout of
the Cape Card Chowder Hall of Fame, and they have
a chowderfest down here and everything, and it's a big, big,
big deal. There's a lot of people, a lot of
big name restaurants from Boston and everything that him up
to the Cape to get into it, to get involved
in the Cape Guard count of us. But if you're
(18:05):
ever down this way when you see if you come
down to see Dan or something like that, make him
take it to Captain Parkers. I'm sure he's been there. Okay,
it's a great place.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
I won't say no to that. Thank you very much. Tom,
you're cool. I'm glad you joined in with us. Thanks.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Well, it's great. I'm glad you're on it. I've had
some issues with a couple of people at Dan that
have totally thank you very much, but that have a
totally different outlook than Dan. And I listened to Dan
because because he's Dan and you're You're You're an absolute
addition and a protegee of his. I can see that
(18:44):
very well. Just speak listening to your speak for these
very shoe for I just started listening to you about
ten thirty.
Speaker 2 (18:50):
So you know it used to be a dance producer,
and I learned a lot. I learned everything I know
from Dan.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
That's where I know the name from. Okay, that's where
I know your name from. Well, thank you, Tom, Yeah, well,
thank you very much. You have a great career.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Thank you you too cool. Speaking of chowder, I love chowder.
A lot of times, I go to a restaurant and hey,
I don't want a big meal because I don't want
to pay the outrageous prices. And I don't want a
big meal because I don't because I'm trying to lose
weight or at least trying to stay in control, and
I don't really need a big thing. So chowder is
(19:26):
the answer. Yeah it's fatty, but still it's very satisfying.
And so I get chowder. And I've heard rumors that, Uh,
the chowder at the sail Loft in Boston is the
best chowder. There's someone that swears up and down. But
I'll tell you, Uh, I used to go. I go
(19:48):
on a lot of trips. I go to the airport,
and I used to there. Used to be a place
called Vino Volo or something, a little place that serve wine,
and I used to go there and get their pizza.
But they closed. So I ended up going to Legal
Seafood and I got the Legal Seafood chowder, and I
gotta admit it was fantastic. I loved it so much,
(20:08):
and I thought it was kind of a fair deal
because I like a deal because it was so satisfying.
So I got like a Sam Adam's beer and I
cup up chowder from Legal Seafood, and I was good
to go. If anybody else has, if you want to
do a little add on to whatever you call about,
(20:29):
if you have a favorite chowder spot, well I'd like
to we'd all like to know about it. Showder rules,
especially around here in New England. I and by the way,
I love fish chowder. You don't hear fish chowder about
fish chowder so much. I know you can get fish
chowder at the Union Oyster House, which is a favorite
of mine. If I try to go and there's no
(20:50):
one there, sit at the bar, get a chocolate martini
and some fish chowder. That doesn't really sound like it
goes very well, does it? Okay, let me give you
a couple more laws, and you tell me they're real
or they're fake. I'm got a scroll to the next
(21:11):
one here, I'm looking at my computer. It is illegal
to eat peanuts in church. What do you think? Illegal
to eat peanuts in church? Why would that be? Was
it those darn Puritans again, don't want anybody to have
any fun? Was it the shells on the floor? Was
(21:33):
it the sound of the shells cracking open? But tell
me is that a real rule or a fake rule?
I'll give you one more. True or false? Unicycles are
actually illegal in Massachusetts. It was thought that anyone who
could ride a unicycle was possessed by demons. The law
(21:54):
was scrapped in nineteen ninety three after pressure from an
alliance formed by the bicycle lobby and a Street for
Ormers group. So true or false? Unicycles are actually illegal
in Massachusetts? And do you have one for me? I
love that Tom gave me a couple try making one up.
Or you can just google weird Laws of Massachusetts and
(22:15):
give me the quiz. Try to stump the host. It's
a lot of fun and it's a good conversation starter.
I get to know you a little bit and we'll continue.
We'll do that after this on WBZ.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
It's Night Side with Dan Ray on wb Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
Yes, it is Nightside with Dan Ray Bradley and tonight
for Dan Ray. I gotta remember to shout out to
a gentleman named John. John, I believe is a homeless
person and he hangs out. If you go to work
and you're at the Charles mgh stop on the Red Line,
he's down there and he's the kindest, nicest guy, and
(22:54):
he listens to wb Z all the time, and I
just want to say, you know, hi, John, I appreciate
you and hang in there. I know the winter's coming
and it's a bummer on your homeless. It's always a
bummer on your homeless, but I guess, particularly in the winter.
But I don't know how you do it, but you know,
you keep your head up and it's such an interesting
and upbeat guy, Thank you John John at the MGH,
(23:18):
Charles stop. It's about the false law. There are a
lot of weird laws that are real in Massachusetts, and
they're so weird that I actually made some up also weird,
and I bet you can't even tell the difference between them.
That's the framework that we're working with here. But you
know you can call him chat really, that's easy going.
(23:40):
Last twenty to twenty five minutes, we go to Glenn
and there he is, Ladies and gentlemen, Glenn in writing,
how do you do well?
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Pretty good. I'm sorry to go last week, but anyway,
I want to give a shout out before before I
got to Wane the horse guy, the post office guy
in Marshfield.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Oh yeah, Wayne, well he formerly a horse guy, now
a dog guy. He shows is a big right big
doggie shows and he does very well.
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Wayne Greenside is his name, Yeah, Wayne Greenside. Yeah, he
owes me a phone call. He's mad at me that
I'm a Trump supporter because of Lewis the Joy well,
the post office. You know, Lewis to Joy. I think
that's the reason.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
I see, well, okay gets that message. So hey, you
want to take a shot at guessing which lars really.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Well, a friend of mine that lives in Stove, Vermont,
was telling me in the twenties, well, they had a
bloom more in Vermont that you can't listen to the
radio if you're taking a bath on Sunday. Now, there
are two problems with it. Number one, it didn't matter
(24:53):
with the radio. You know, some transistors don't run on
house current, they only one on battery. The and who's
an electric thing? Like safety? It wouldn't be so would
be every day if they were afraid of electrics, you
should like a VIDI. So that's pretty weird.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
So you're you're not asking me, you're telling me a guy.
A guy told you. Yeah, there is something about taking
a bath. On taking baths, there's I think I actually
have one of those. I'll try to find it, but
well I want I don't want to take time trying
to find it. So I mean, we can't have a
bunch of dead air while I look for it. But yeah,
(25:31):
I heard I heard something related to that, and yeah,
you're right. First I thought, well, you don't want to
be listening to the radio in the tub, because how
many lives have been lost when the radio falls in
the top. But I know very bad.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Okay, let me.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
See if you can guess here. It's illegal to eat
penis in church, at least in Massachusetts. I don't know
if there's a federal I don't think there's a fer
What what about that? Yes or no? True or false?
Illegally eat peanuts in church?
Speaker 4 (26:07):
He eat penuts in church?
Speaker 2 (26:08):
Eat peanuts in church?
Speaker 4 (26:10):
Yes, yeah, that's I'll bit you. It's true because I
wouldn't put put it past some Southern Baptist. I was
raised Southern Baptist, So to do something.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Like that, are you from the South or you just
raised Southern bath No?
Speaker 4 (26:26):
No, but just the no, just the you know there's
American Baptists and Southern Baptist Southern star. What means women
can't be pastors, You can't take community if they don't
think you're a Christian. You have to be biblical, not cultural.
Like I'm a cultural Christian. I'm not a biblical Christian.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Okay, all right, I want you to do another one here.
It's illegal to have a gorilla in the back seat
of any car.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
Yes, that's true.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
You knew that was true.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Oh no, my friend is still from out went on
I don't know Google, I don't know what he went
online at and he found a bunch of them.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Yep, well that's correct. It is true. It is interesting
that no mention is made of the front seats.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
There's one you can't eat an orange on subject, but
I don't know what state it's in.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Well, I do you suppose you can have a gorilla
in the front seat but not in the backside?
Speaker 1 (27:19):
That was my question.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Great mind tickle, like, what's going on with it?
Speaker 2 (27:26):
All right, let's do let's do one more. We do
have Alan Saugust get too, but you know I don't.
I want to make sure you get it.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
I don't have an Okay, Yeah, sure I got one.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
Yeah, okay. True or false. Unicycles are actually illegal in Massachusetts.
It was thought that anyone who could ride a unicycle
was possessed by demons. The law was scrapped in nineteen
ninety three after pressure from an alliance formed by the
bicycle lobby and a street performer group. True or false, Yes,
true or false?
Speaker 4 (27:59):
True?
Speaker 2 (28:00):
I made that up myself.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Oh that's a good one. You know you tripped up
the blind piano tuner. That's all right.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Yeah, Look, I have never been a liar, But it's
pretty clear that you can't really get ahead these days
unless you're a liar. So I'm practicing, and I find that.
I find it one of the keys to lying is
to give a lot of details that do you think
they wouldn't give all those details like that? Like, and
I phrase it in an official way and make it
(28:29):
as crazy as possible. So yeah, that's completely false.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
Yeah, very quickly before I go, my parents smack me
for leaving my Jammy's in the bathroom, just like I
was raising the same kind of family you were.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
So did I already tell you that? Did I already
say that happen to me too?
Speaker 4 (28:47):
Yeah, you're back when over years ago?
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Yeah, well that's correct. And the thing is, it was
like I would space out and I would just me too.
There's certain things I would base out on. So here's
another thing that I that I space out on now,
and it's the same thing. I go downstairs to do
the laundry and the laundry room in my building, I
have a laundry card. I put the laundry card in
(29:11):
the machine. On the machine, you know, select heavy load,
hot water, blah blah blah. Then I walk away. It's
like a weird mental block. And it was the same
thing with the pajamas, and so I did it once,
I did it twice. I had three times, and they
thought I was just being belligerent. So it had and
then it went to okay, the new rule. Every time
(29:35):
you leave your pajamas on the bathroom floor in the morning,
you're gonna get a bare bottom spank with a hair brush.
And you're not gonna believe. I had to get up
to seven of them before I started to remember.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
I got mine with it. I got mine with a
built But all right, well I know that belt.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Yeah, I'm a users worse than mine. I think a
hairbrush is hair brush hurts, but it's not. It's not
like the belt.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
My dad even had a name for his belt. He
called it Irving because his grandfather's middle name was Irving.
Speaker 2 (30:13):
So you feared Irving, I guess right. Yes, what else
did he whip out irving on you for.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Wedding the bed?
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Wow, that's too bad. You didn't do that on purpose.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
No, he thought I did it to punish God. I'm like,
oh yeah, I'm gonna wake up and sold the yellow
steamed cheese so I can punish God like you're.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Thinking you're thinking about that at all. I'm gonna go,
Oh my god, Wow, I bet you got I bet
you have a lot lot more stories that we probably
shouldn't even get into.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Selling them. You could, but you're right. Next time, brother, Yeah,
my dad apologized when we go after I became't we
drank beer one night? How I'm sorry about the way
it was in nineteen eighty four when I was thirty one.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Did you forgive him?
Speaker 4 (31:06):
Yes? Because he was crying. I mean, the guy's a
World War II veteran. He's putting his head on my
shoulder crying.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
One man who realized that he was wrong.
Speaker 4 (31:16):
He had a lot of Christian friends and churches that said,
you know, George, you were gun an apology. Wow, I
forgive you.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
And then did you get along with him after that?
Speaker 4 (31:26):
Yes? I got closure.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
What a good story, Glenn, What a good story. Well,
thank you so much. I appreciate it, And all right,
talk to you soon. This is my last week, so
you know I'm looking forward to my next time and
speaking with you again.
Speaker 4 (31:42):
Named you are quite Friday, and space will come cheating.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I hear nothing, I see nothing.
Speaker 4 (31:49):
Yeah, right, take care?
Speaker 2 (31:51):
Who said that. By the way, I see nothing. It
was a character in a sitcom. I won't tell you
any more than that. So eleven forty five and I
got Alan, Targus and David and San Francisco. So why
don't we do a brief little break here to take it.
Take a breath, and we'll continue in a moment. On
(32:13):
WBZ It's Night Side with Dan Ray on w b
Boston's news radio spot, The Fake Law. I have a
couple of folks ready to talk, but I want to
throw off this new law to tell you to ask
you if it is a real one or a fake one.
There are a lot of weird laws that's still on
the books in Massachusetts and other states, and they're so
(32:36):
weird that I bet I could make up, you know,
some weird ones that and you wouldn't know which is which.
So I'm gonna give you another one here, and you
tell me what you think true are false, You're gonna be.
You got a fifty percent chance of being right. By then,
By the way, the numbers six, one, seven, two, five,
(32:58):
true or false. It is illegal to make a blackbird pie.
And this is because after the rhyme of remember the
rhyme sing a song of sixpence became popular. People started
to trap blackbirds and make meat pies out of them.
It actually didn't take twenty four blackbirds the average of
(33:18):
six to seven. No one has bothered to repeal the
law because people just stopped doing that. I don't know
if the pies didn't taste good or what. But by
the way, here's the rhyme. Does anyone remember it? Sing
a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye four
and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie. When the pie
(33:39):
was opened, the birds began to sing. Wasn't that a
dainty dish to set before the king? The king was
in his counting house counting out his money. The queen
was in the parlor eating bread and honey. The maid
was in the garden hanging out the clothes, when down
(33:59):
came a blackbird and pecked off her nose. Things were
tough back then. There are a couple more verses because
there was some thought that at the time that was severe.
So the couple more verses talk about some other kind
of birds came back and stuck her nose on. True,
(34:20):
I mean, you know, true. We go to Alans August.
He's gonna tell us if he thinks that is a true,
real law or a fake law made up by yours truly?
Speaker 5 (34:31):
Hi, el, can I phone a friend? I have no
idea about that one, but I'll just say it's I'll
say it's true. Fifty to fifty, I slipped a coin.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Okay, it's false. I made it up.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Oh you're a wicked soul. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
And here again, I'm trying to learn how to lie,
because it's pretty clear that's the path of success. They
used to say, honest, he's the best policy, but it
doesn't seem to be that. I don't know if it
really was then, it certainly doesn't seem to be now.
And I'm a terrible liar, terrible. I got one fun
so in practicing.
Speaker 5 (35:06):
Okay, I'm ready, you're ready?
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Yeah, all right?
Speaker 5 (35:09):
Is it illegal to draw on money for fun? Let's say,
put a mustache on George Washington?
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Yes it is.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
It is not.
Speaker 5 (35:18):
No, as long as long as your art, so to speak.
Does it make the bill unusable or cover key features?
What are the key features?
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Not his mustache?
Speaker 2 (35:30):
The number right?
Speaker 5 (35:32):
The serial numbers are the Treasury seal. But I always
thought it was illegal to mark a Bill totally. I agreed.
I was with you.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
Interesting, God, I learned something. I learned a lot every
day with you guys.
Speaker 5 (35:43):
Now, are you Are you a baseball fan like Bill
Dan Ray?
Speaker 2 (35:48):
No? Not even I mean I like the game, but
I'm not an expert at all like that, not like Dan.
Speaker 5 (35:52):
Because the goroa situation came up theo Epstein when he
was leaving the Red Sox or something. He put on
a gorilla suit to leave them way park to avoid
the media, and he almost got arrested. He was in
the back seat of a car, but when they realized
there was a gorilla costume, they let him go.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Is that true? I mean, okay, yes, I believe you,
of course about the heyo, I believe you. I don't
know any But do you really think all the police
officers on the beat that they know that the gorilla
in the back seat rule?
Speaker 5 (36:23):
No, the second part of this, the first part is true.
He did dress in a gorilla costume, okay, but he
didn't get pulled over.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Oh so I was kind of right. I was doubting
that because I can't imagine if you have you know,
walked up to a police officer and say, uh, can
you tell me about the gorilla in the back seat rule?
Speaker 1 (36:40):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (36:41):

Speaker 5 (36:42):
How about those people that put a dummy in the
front seat to go through the ho V lane.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
You know, you take your chances when you do that.
I don't know how effective that is. I know some
of them get busted, but I don't know. I don't
know how realistic the dummy is, but I would imagine that.
I wonder if you get busted for that. Do you
get busted for more than just hov? Do you get
(37:10):
busted for some other technicality of trying to fool the police?
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (37:15):

What's going on? David in San Francisco?
Speaker 3 (38:40):
Hey, bro, hey brother. Yeah. About fifty years ago I
went to a bar. It's im from Baltimore, and we
drove up to York County, Pennsylvania, and there was a
bar there. It was called the County Line. And on
one half of the bar, you couldn't stand up with
us rank and on the other half of the bar
(39:01):
you couldn't sit down with.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
A drink because the laws are a different one to.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
Move you to the bartender the waitress to carry your
drink over.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
That is wild. If that's true. Okay, let me give
you one more. Let me give you one more, and
you tell me if this is a real weird Massachusetts
law or not. Hi, are you ready, David? Okay? True
or false? Even though everyone ignores the law, competing or
attending a sporting event that is illegal and listened to
(39:35):
a church sporting event as part in Massachusetts and listened
to a church sporting event, and this is on Sunday,
by the way. For example, a croquet game or a
badminton game would be legal if it's part of a
church potluck. Separate or proceeds go to the church. But
other than that, no sports on Sundays. Puritans enacted the
law in sixteen forty one, shortly after Boston was incorporated.
(39:55):
True or false.
Speaker 4 (39:58):
True, No, I made it up.
Speaker 2 (40:00):
I stumped you guys on everyone of the four that
I am. I'm becoming a much better liar. And the
key was the details you think. There's so many details.
He wouldn't have gone.
Speaker 3 (40:11):
That far I did, Riley. I have a question for you.
I want to name four musical groups I want to
tell you. I want you to tell me what they
have in common? Okay, is Grateful Dad, Eurythmics and Traveling Woolbury's.
(40:31):
What do they have in common?
Speaker 4 (40:35):
WHOA.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
I'm completely stumped, David, I'm completely stumped. I give up.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
None of them musical word though, Okay, on their license,
none of them musical word.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
The interesting.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
When they go sign up for a performance, concert or
whatever they have to they have to sign it without
the word though.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
That's legit. You got me. You stumped the heck on me, David.
