Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's Nights with Dan Ray.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I'm telling you Boston's lead radio.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
All right, welcome back, everybody. I'm reminded that interest rates
were cut by the Federal Reserve the last time. The
most recent cut in December of twenty twenty four. They
lowered the federal funds raised by twenty five basis points
to a range of four point two five to four
point five. This is a third consecutive cut in twenty
(00:28):
twenty four, following a fifty percent bps basis points reduction
in September and another twenty five percent cut in November.
So yeah, incumbents like interest rate cuts. So that that
will wrap our conversation on interest rate cuts. We'll see
(00:51):
what happens tomorrow. If you wanted to bet long shots,
and I would never advise Betty really long shots. You
heard what Professor Greg Staller had to say. Now here's
what I would like to do. We're in the fourth
hour right now, and I don't know what I didn't
hear what the temperature was, but it's supposed to be
(01:13):
a very warm night out there if you do not
have benefit of air conditioning, and so this is probably
going to be the hottest day of the year we
broke a record going back to somewhere, was that the
nineteen thirty three. I was watching one of the weather
channels tonight, and I think that one of the local stations,
(01:34):
So I don't have to knows what did you do today? Okay,
and a lot of people I know we're on vacation.
So if you picked this week to be in vacation,
you picked up pretty good week because at least you're
not suffering the heat. I just want to find out
what did you do today. Some of you probably have
some neat little tricks in how you can make yourself
(01:57):
cooler under these circumstances. Suppose to be hot tomorrow, I
think that's what the weather forecast said, and then Thursday
we're supposed to have some sort of a cold front
come through. I was talking to a friend of mine
today who told me up in Halifax, Nova Scotia, today
just kind of up the road from us, it was
(02:18):
pouring rain and it was sixty six degrees, which I
guess we're going to get some rain later on this week.
But I'd love to know what you did today to
allow yourself to cool off. So let's just have a
little bit of fun maybe you went to a pool,
maybe you have a pool. Maybe it went you just
hung out in a mall. If I was in a
(02:40):
situation where I had the time, which I don't, but
if I had the time and I was in a
situation where I was really hot and did not have
access to a breeze or a fan or for that
matter of conditioning, I think going to a mall or
(03:01):
going to a supermarket is pretty It can be comforting.
I know that I noticed that when I walk into
a supermarket, Uh, you know, I'm going there to buy things. Obviously,
you can go to a mall. You don't have to
buy things. You can just kind of window shop in
the mall. So I love to know what you did
today to cool off. I watched the reports at the
(03:24):
top of the six o'clock news this evening, and it
looked as if they had a lot of the splash
pads working in Boston. And I know that there are
some swimming pools open in Boston, some of the what
we used to call the old MDC polls. But what
was your choice today? So I'm just gonna sit back
here and allow you to talk. Last night, at this hour,
(03:47):
we did we have some really interesting suggestions of show topics,
which which I like because I want to try, particularly
as we wend our way through the rest of the
summer through August, we can talk about serious stuff, and
we did. We have talked about serious stuff tonight. We
(04:08):
talked about mass and casts and what a blank that
is in that neighborhood and why it has been that
way for so long? Uh and and that's that's a
serious topic. And and last hour with Professor Staller Stoller.
He's he's a great guest. And he's a great guest
because he communicates directly with people and he's understandable. Uh.
(04:33):
He could he could take it highbrow on us, I'm
sure with the best of them. But I liked the
callers last hour. I certainly liked Dean. I should say, Derek,
the caller from from Dean College. So we're going to
open him up. What did you do today? Uh? Did
you sit inside and just relax? If you can do that,
(04:53):
that's great. It is summertime. We have two days left
in July. Today is the twenty ninth. An hour from
now will be in the the penelt of a day
of July. For me, the summer is going much too quickly.
It seems to me that the winters around here are
getting longer and the summers are getting shorter. We didn't
(05:16):
have a spring. We probably will have an extended fall,
which is wonderful. But boy, that winter. Once once that
cold here in New England arrives, it doesn't leave. You'll
get a couple of those nice days in early November
that I'm sure you can remember. But then it's December, January, February, March,
(05:43):
even April can be cold and raw and damp. And
then when it gets here and it's Memorial Day, it
starts to pick up pace. So let's have some fun
with it. Six seven four ten thirty six one seven
nine thirty. I'd love to know what you did today
to cool yourself off. Okay, some of you have some secrets.
(06:05):
Let's share them. Let's share them for the folks who
might be listening tonight, who are in apartment buildings and
don't have indoor air conditioning, may not even have a fan.
I certainly have heard of some easy ideas to cool off.
(06:26):
Join the conversation back on Nightside right after this.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Night Side with Dan Ray, I'm telling you Boston's news radio.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
For those of you who are statistically inclined. The all
time record for today, July twenty ninth, in Boston, it
was ninety eight degrees today. That broke the all time
record of ninety seven degrees, which was set in nineteen
thirty three. So if I do the math, that record
(06:58):
stood for ninety two years, ninety two years before the
vast majority of us were born. It broke the record
just by one point, but it broke the record. So
let's have a little bit of fun with this. The
other thing which I want to figure out is who
had the toughest job today. There were people who were
(07:23):
working outside today, and I gotta tell you it must
have been tough on all of those people who worked
outside today, and it'll be tough tomorrow. I'm not sure.
We got to figure out what the who's on accu
weather tonight. Maybe we get a quick comment for tomorrow.
He continues on Wednesday, with highs in the upper eighties
(07:45):
to mid nineties, so but with the humidity it'll feel
more like ninety five to one oh five across much
of southern New England. This would be the week, it
seems to be always the week, the last week in
July uh invariably when it is the hottest week of
(08:06):
the summer here in New England. It was last summer
and it will be so this summer. In my opinion,
let me go to Tim and winter. See what Tim
did to cool off today. I bet he's a creative
sort of guy. Hi, Tim, how are you all right?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I'm the guy going to Arizona.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
So you don't mind the heat.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I love it. You know, this is fantastic What I
did today. I'll tell you at the end, real quick, Okay,
what I did today. I slept all day and then
I get up a little bit and had a little
bite tea, and then I just watched a little TV.
I have one air conditioner, a fan. I block off
too in a room. It's like you can hang meat
(08:47):
in one rope. Good for you in the other room,
you gotta I got a fan, so I got a
block of ice. Where I hooked that. I made it
make contraption where hook's on the back of a chair
and I I sit in that room and before I
was stifling hot. Now it's comfortable.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Way hold on, where do you get the block of ice?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
It's not ice, It's like an ice pack.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Okay, fine, it's a big one I.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Put I put hooks through it and put it in
a freezer in the cellar, and then bring it up
with stiff as a board, and I have a towel
underneath it, so it's not it's not bad.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
How big is this block block of ice?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
It's not block of ice, it's it's a it's a
the opposite of a heating pat. It's it's the same
thing covers the back of the chair, except I put
hooks on it to cover the chair. So I sit
back on my feet up and be nice and with
one one undershirt on, be nice and comfortable.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Okay, well, that's now why you want to move.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
To Arizona because I hate it here because my father
told me when I was younger, the longest cold snap
we ever had was forty one forty one days last
year from Thanksgiving to May, or sometimes in the middle
of May. It was like seventy three days something like that.
It was horrible, and I had enough.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Last I didn't. I don't remember last winter especially.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
It was cold. It was not that much snow, but
it was cold. It was solid cold. It was it
bothers me sitting waiting at the bus stop, I get
cold fast. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Okay, all right, Tim, I got it. I got it.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
What I did was I went out at seven o'clock.
It's a mile away the store. I sat down, took breaks,
and I was dying. I got to the store. I
have a chair, I sit outside. I played Keino, and
halfway through I took I had a vanilla ice, a
(10:44):
slush slushy, and that did the job. That brought me back,
and it was fantastic. I made one hundred and eighty bucks. Then,
I too, can't beat that.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
You had a heck of a day. You were a
heck of a day, Tim. That's great, all right, I'm
happy the day worked well on.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
My least as thouts in January this year, January till uh.
It goes to uh right after the beginning of of EVA,
and then from now on it's going to be like, uh,
I'm going to go in November. I'm going to come
back in May fifteenth. Found trust made at all? The
(11:21):
second half?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Are you retired at this point too? Yep? Okay, good,
good for you, Good for you? And how long have
you been retired?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Four years?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Four years? And what sort of work did you do.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I was in the courthouse. I remember you in the courthouse.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Okay, you were working.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
You were there when the Chuck Stewart thing came on.
I was one of the quote officers there.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah. Okay, so you're a court officer. Okay, great, Bob,
you deserve you deserve your retirement. Congratulations. Have a lot
of friends with quote officers. All right, Tim, I'm gonna
let you run. I got to get to some other
folks from.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Eighty five to eighty five in the winter. That's it.
And I'm going to Mount Lemon, up the hill and
it's nice up the traym there. I got old town Tucson.
You gotta go. You've been in Tucson, Yes, I had, Yes,
I have. Is that nice a nice place?
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Yes it is.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
It's smaller Phoenix and it's cool. But the two points
ten today and it was ninety seven by friends.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
I have friends in Tucson. Actually, Tim, I hate to
do this to you, man, because you're a font of
good information. But I got other folks. They got to
get you as well. So all right, thank you, thank you,
my friend, thanks for getting us going. Let me go
to Lola in Watertown. Lola, what did you do today
to keep cool.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Well, I kept my cool and I turned because I'm
jumping out at the house, so I have to keep pushing.
I can't let the weather dictate. So I put the
air conditioner really cool seventy three, so I was really
chilly in here. And then I went out in the
(12:55):
car and drove around with the air conditioning on. And
what I've been doing because it's so hot, I can't walk.
It's too much for me.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
You know.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
I'm up there, and I've been going to the supermarket
about an hour before they close, and I walk around
the supermarket. Nobody's in there, so it's no carriages are
in the way. And I get to you know, get
some steps in in its air conditions cause and they don't.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Yeah, I would be a little uncomfortable doing that in
a supermarket. I would. I would go to a mall
in a New York second.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Because oh no, no, mall is a soft target. I'm
staying out of the mall. So not to change the subjects,
but Russia had an earthquake and all of the West
Coast is under tsunami watch right now. Our west coast, yes,
my West coast, California. A yeah, Alaska, Hawaii.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
That's going to be that's gonna be good news for
everybody in California. Well hopefully that won't be. Hopefully, hopefully
that won't eventuate.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Yah, Sure, but it was.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
It was an eight point seven I think really it
was a good Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
How could how could they be? I know, Russia is
a big country. It spans about fourteen time zones, I believe.
And when you get up like, yeah, ladys Vladivostok, which
is one place I have no desire to go travel to,
have you do? You've woke up in the night and said,
you know, I'd like to spend a week in Vladivostark.
Just the name Vladivostok.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Oh my god, No, no, you know we're saying.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I mean Paris, London, Stockholm. Those sound like nice cities.
But whoever named that Russian city Vladivostok. It's up there
in the far east end of the country. It's fairly
close to North Korea.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
No interest in them that it's in east.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
It's in East Russia where the where the earthquake was.
So maybe it's right there what you're talking about.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Well, you know that that could be again, I assume
it has to be in the eastern portion of Russia
to have that tsunami effect on the Pacific Ocean, because
when I last checked the ocean that that borders California
was the Pacific Ocean. Correct me if I'm.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Wrong, exactly, Yeah, No, that's that's exactly where it was
on the east, the east side of Russia.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Okay, well, I'm going to listen to the newscast and
see if I can hear any more about it. Lolo,
I know you here, you know, dealing with your mom.
I know, I get a lot of work, and you
normally reach us from San Diego. But you're you're doing
important work, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
And I just found my five year old birthday cads
from my mom.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I know something that's that's that's that's something that you
should keep.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Oh no, I'm gonna I have to go through this
is the problem.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
I have to go through.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Every single piece of pictures, envelopes, everything.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
I hope, I hope you find some some old crumpled
up on hundred dollar bills.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
I hope you find some pawns.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
All right, Lola, talk to you.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
I found a lot of just and a lot of
coat anchors.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
But well that's yeah, well how much value there? But
you can you can dump those up. Lord it. We'll
talk to you. Thanks for calling, Yes, talk to you soon.
Let me go next to Tim in Wilburn. Tim, you
work outdoors. You're a mason. I hope you weren't working today?
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Can you damn but take my car? I sure did.
I worked seven hours day in top field. I'll buy
the top field their doing stone work alone?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Whoa, oh man? How much weight do you think you'll
lose on a daylight today? And how are you say
how much water you do? Work?
Speaker 4 (16:57):
At one party? I came home at once th three.
Seven hours later, I drank a bunch of water. I
put it right back on.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Oh man, I'm telling you this. What do you hate worse?
You work outdoors? I mean you are outdoors as a Stonemason.
Do you hate the winter worst or the summer worse?
Speaker 4 (17:18):
I hate the winter? Really, I can't work much in
the wintertime. I don't make no money. But anyhow, I
work until like the second week in December, third week.
But the summer, right, I'm gonna say, I like the heat.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
So how much time do you take off for the winter?
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Probably three months in wintertime. What I do people I
do work for on round roppy. I shovel their wash
and driveways. Keeps me going.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Okay, little exercise never hurt right, work will never hurt you. No,
Well again, you've been in a stone Mason. You told
me how many years?
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Well, I started on seventeen, on seventy three.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Wow, boy, I'll tell you that's a that's almost sixty
years if I'm doing that right. Right.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
So there's a fiddle.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
He's the spat off. Anyhow, I called you this morning.
I don't know you got my message.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
I haven't been listening to my message. I think I said.
I've had a very busy day trying to set up shows.
What did you tell me in the message this morning, Tim.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
I told you? What the heck? I told you? I
got fourteen hundred dollars today. I made fourteen hundred all
the yether and Camon Reid.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Right.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
I'm going to send her fifty dollars. I have the
money now. I want to send it to her that
they really giving her a hard time, but she can
use it for the legal thies. I want to send
her fifty once I get her address.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, I don't have an address, but I think that
you could probably find mind one of her lawyers locally. Uh,
that that's a possibility. I can help you do that
probably if you if you needed.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
To do that, okay one of the lawyers, huh.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Yeah, you send it to the lawyer care of and
the lawyers are gonna we'll pass it on to her.
They're probably not going to give you her home.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Address last time. Right, she just got her SUV and
a phone back.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Well, I heard I read the story yesterday said she
was she was trying to get it back. I'm not
sure that that that she has she did Okay, Well,
it never.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
More legal thief anyhow, she got it back, like I'm happy.
I'm happy for her.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Well, I know that you were a big supporter of
of Karen Reider, and I know it came out the
way you wanted to come out. Tim. I'm in my
newscast here, so I appreciate you calling early tonight, I
really do.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
And uh, I hope you may by the way, right.
One of the vocabulary you have, well, there's a few
wor big.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Words I know you know, but your vocabulary is fine too.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
I mean, you question, I'm a high school graduate. I
didn't go to college. I had to go to work. Anyhow,
you do a great job. I helped to talk to
you soon. Keep up the good work.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Right back at you, Tim, We'll talk to him. Thank you, buddy,
appreciate it. Stay cool tomorrow. Okay, to take a break
here news at the bottom of the hour. I'd love
to hear from you wherever you are, wherever you are
within the sound of my voice. Looking for some new
callers here. We're just trying to light it up. We
had a couple of heavy topics tonight during the nine
o'clock hour. We talked about the disaster that is mass
(20:37):
and cast that is that area that has become a
magnet for people who deal drugs and who use drugs
and people who need help. And then last hour we
talked with Professor Greg Staller of the Boston University of
Question School of Business, all sorts of things, economics, tariffs,
about the FED meeting tomorrow in which interest rates may
(20:59):
or may not be lowered. They're not going to be increased,
but I think the consensus is they will stay the same.
And tonight I'm just trying to light it up. And
it's been a long day for you. And for me,
if you're driving somewhere and you're on vacation, let us
know how'd you cool off today. I'm sure that some
of you were able to cool off creatively. Okay, So
(21:22):
that's what I want to hear, because maybe your idea
of cooling off might help some poor soul tomorrow cool off.
Who's listening tonight, because it's supposed to be not quite
as hot tomorrow, but it's it's going to be, as
we say in New England, a scorcher, a scorcher, just
like today, not quite as bad as today. Six one, seven, two, five, four,
(21:43):
ten thirty six one seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty.
We're in North America's back porch. It's metaphorical back porch.
Step up on the porch, say what you have to say,
and we'll get other people to react to your ideas.
Coming right back on the night side, you're right with
Dan Ray ONBZ Boston's news radio. According to one weather
(22:05):
site that I'm looking at am breaking the heat to
come Wednesday night. That's tomorrow night, twenty four hours from now,
when a cold front is expected to move into the region.
You call it a cold front, but it's kind of
a cool front, if you know what I'm saying. I
think of a cold front in the wintertime, bringing the
potential for isolated and scattered showers and thunderstorms. According to
the Service, Cloudy Weather with much cool attempts to expect
(22:29):
it Thursday into Friday, with the potential for steady, soaking
rainfalls somewhere in southern New England or in the northern
mid Atlantic region. Well, I can do without the soaking rainfall,
but we'll take a little bit maybe during the night.
Simple as that skip only to go to Tim in Pennsylvania. Hey, Tim,
how warm was it in Pa? Today?
Speaker 5 (22:51):
It was only like about ninety wasn't for real hot?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
That's still real hot as far as I'm concerned, Tim,
I gotta tell you, well, it was nice.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
Than we ran five k today. I was fine.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
You r in what wa? You ran five k today?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (23:11):
I gotta get out and work out, you know. I
I that's three miles?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
What is that? That's three miles? Three point one miles?
Speaker 5 (23:21):
Three point one Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I used to I used to run. I used to
run ten k. What was your time for three point
one mile today?
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (23:30):
It was embarrassing. I don't want to talk about I'm
kind of rehabilitating, so I'm my time though.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Well I never had like the physique of a runner,
but I once did a ten k yeah in forty two.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Oh wow, Yeah, it wasn't bad.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
It wasn't bad. It's about a seven minute you know,
six seven minute miles. I wasn't gonna win anything with that,
but believe me, I could. I got I was okay
for a while. That slowed down.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
More reason to not tell you the time I did today.
So you know, so I want, I really do I
I really I love the hot weather I lived for
this year and I was in the coast guard something hubble.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Okay, come on, sure that's where. That's where our towers are.
Towers you probably have seen them.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Oh I remember them. I that was the landmark, you know.
I actually I was a landmarks from see too. Yeah
once in a while to pick them out, so you
kind of had a better idea of where you were.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Well, that's why our signal, by the way, uh is
as strong as it is, because I've had people call
me from places like Bermuda and I'll say, well, you
must be listening, and they say, nope, hearing it right
over the water because i've the water's flat and sometimes
our signal has been picked up. They used to mark
(25:05):
they used to back in the day. They used to
send out a card from w b Z to people
who heard the signal somewhere far away, and they would
send the card. Which was a great idea, but there
was our signal was picked up way before the internet
over the year radio in places like Norway and Sweden.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
I actually picked it up once I went to school
and sang Louis. I picked it up and sang Louis once.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I had a caller one night with a Tentrances the
radio in Winnipeg, Manitoba. No, he was a he was
a guy who worked construction and he was from somewhere
like in Ontario and used to listen to us all
the time in Ontario, and he would listen to us
(25:55):
on his radio, and one night he called in from Winnipeg, Manitoba,
which pretty far out there, that's out north of Bontana.
But with the Internet now it's it's no big deal.
I've had people call in from plenty of the countries
in Europe. I've had people call in from the Philippines,
from Australia, all.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Over the world on the other side of the world.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Oh, absolutely, well, they're mainly there. They are people who
used to live in Massachusetts who are now what we
call expats who want to keep in contact at home. Yeah,
that's the way it works.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Well, I'm an ex pat.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
So so yeah, you lived did you grow up in Massachusetts?
Speaker 5 (26:38):
Brockton?
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Yeah, Brockton. All right, we got a lot of listeners
in Brockton. And so where in pa are you now?
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Well, an hour and a half north of Pittsburgh, So
you're up by ear right on the Ohio line. So
I get my gasoline for two dollars and ninety nine
cents the gallon. So I'm pretty excited.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Well I'm getting it here in Massachusetts today for two.
I was in eighty four since totally really yeah, true story,
true story. I had I got it a week ago
for to eighty two. Actually, so what are you up?
If you're north of Pittsburgh, you gotta be up by Erie, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
Yeah, close to it. Yeah, I'm right on the line. Yeah,
so yeah, about an hour and a half to Erie.
Maybe more fun.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
So you're over by Ohio.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
Oh, I'm right online.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Yeah, you know what's what city in Ohio.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Are you closest to Youngstown?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Oh? Sure, I've been in Youngstown.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
Yeah, really, yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Yeah, that's a matter of fact. I believe that the
congressman there was Tim Ryan. If I'm not mistaken, I
had no idea.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
I've only been here three years in September. So okay,
good for you, Good for young.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
So you got you gotta tip for anybody out to stay.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Cool, well, other than running a.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Three point one miles in nine degree heat.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
I mean, I think you kind of work up your exercise.
You work up your metabolism more old than it cools
you right afterwards, it cools you down. You know you
feel No.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
No, I've worked out today. I did twenty five minutes
on an elliptico, broke a great sweat. Yeah. No, It's
the best thing you can do. I think it's sometimes
safer to do it in a gym, depending upon your circumstance,
than being out there on the road. But I used
to run in those sort of temperatures as well. Tim.
(28:41):
I appreciate you taking the time to call. Thanks for
thanks for checking.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
I wanted to tell you one story. Sure, okay, as
you said. It was in the Coastguard up in holl And.
So you understand why I really hate the cold. Yeah,
and I love the heat. We had a case once,
Uh the air temp was zero, the wind was forty
(29:05):
miles an hour. When we hit a trough, water would
just hit the boat and freeze to the boat.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
You know.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
So the total windshill factor was seventy below zero. I
mean everything did hurt everything, how far?
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Wait? Where were where you were you in relation to hull?
Speaker 5 (29:26):
Oh that was that was right in the harbor with
level of violence. Woh but oh yeah, I mean waves
can kick up inside the harbor too, you know.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
And what year was this approximately?
Speaker 5 (29:41):
What year it would have been like ninety five, ninety
six somewhere around there.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
It's weird some cold that was. And that was around
the time we had the the April Fools blizzard about
thirty inches of snow on April April first.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Yeah, yeah, oh I remember.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Yeah, So all right, but hey, I had passed.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
Break about the heat. I remember that day, that case.
And I'm good with the heat, you know.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I'm I'm past my break here. I really enjoyed the call.
Keep calling the show, Tim check in. Okay, you're an
ex pat in Pennsylvania, thanks, talk again. All right, I
got a couple of open lines. Come on, let's finish
this up strong. We get a couple of minutes here
for a break and feel free. Six one seven, two, five,
four ten thirty, six one seven nine thirty. I'm disappointed
(30:30):
that my audience is keeping all of the secrets of
keeping cool. Look, you can always take and you can
make an ice pack, Grab a towel, put some ice
cubes in the towel, and wrap the towel around your neck.
That's an easy thing. Okay, simple as that. That's easy.
If you have a frozen bag in the refrigeratord frozen corn,
(30:51):
frozen peas, and you're really dying, throw it on the
back of your neck. Okay, you know it's not going
to spoil the frozen vegetables. Uh, then you maybe even
for dinner. That's pretty easy. Okay, you can do that stuff.
There's a lot of ways to stay cool. Obviously, try
to minimize your your activities you want to stay cool.
(31:13):
But I'm hoping some of you got a couple of
tips which would help. Back on nightside six one seven, two, five,
four ten thirty or six one seven, nine three one
ten thirty We're coming back on Nightside.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
It's nice Side with Dan Ray on.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Boston's news radio.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Well, I got a bunch of lazy listeners who don't
want to share their their warm weather suggestions, but bailing
me out as Joe and Belmont. Hey, Joe, welcome back
to Nightside. Thanks for checking in. Joe, go right ahead.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Dan.
Speaker 6 (31:43):
I cooled off this morning by going down the ac
library skimming the headlines of the Herald, Globe, Wall Street
Journal in New York Times. And then this afternoon I
stayed in an act living room listening to news radio WBZ.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Sounds like a perfect day to me, Joe. I mean,
the only thing that's missing you just stopping at duncans
and get coffee or something, or at least ice coffee.
Speaker 6 (32:14):
Well, I go to McDonald's. I know you like chocolate,
but I'm like Trump. I like my diet coke from McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Good for you, Good for you now, Joe, you retired
at this point.
Speaker 6 (32:28):
I got two years of wisdom on you. Dan, I
won't give you rage.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
So you're retired, Okay, Yes, that's good. And let me
ask you a lot of people when they talk about retirement,
they'll say they look forward to retiring and then they'll say,
all of a sudden, you realize you got nothing to do,
and time weighs heavy on your on your hands, on
your mind. Do you keep yourself busy?
Speaker 6 (32:54):
Yes? I do, you know, Dan, like a lot of
people can't take the retirement. They have to get a
part time jobst time job. I heard that I use
my time wisely. Uh, Jesus loves me, Dan and blesses me.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Well that's good. Let me tell you, I I hope
he blesses me. And I'm I'm right there with you.
I believe too, Joe. You're somebody who believes a lot
and you you you profess it often, which I'm delighted
to hear. You know that we tend not to do
a lot of the religious stuff on the show. But yeah,
I'm a believer, no doubt.
Speaker 6 (33:31):
Jesus loved ones Dan, And uh, what did you cool
off today? You did a little exercise? Huh?
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Yeah, I was in the gym early. The gym's not
the you can break you pretty good sweat and the
jim at least that's my experience. So I was. I.
I try to get there. I try to get there
six days a week. I take Sunday off just to
kind of give you a chance to coop a little bit.
(34:00):
But exercise for me has always been pretty important. And
today I felt badly for people like our friend Tim
from Woburn to Mason, who had to work outside. I'm
able to work in relative comfort. Well, I had a
busy day, There's no doubt about that. I had a
very busy day. And the day when the day goes
(34:23):
by much too quickly when you're working. And I'm glad
that you keep active, Joe, and keep your mind active,
which I know you do.
Speaker 6 (34:30):
I walk three miles almost every day when it's under
eighty five.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
That's an excellent form of exercise. It's probably the best
form of exercise for someone who might be, as I say,
on the wrong side of fifty. Joe. I'm going to
let you go here, but I thank you for calling
very much, and as always, we will talk soon.
Speaker 6 (34:49):
Okay, thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
All right, buddy, talk to you soon. So let me
wrap up here with a couple of items. One, I
really do want to encourage you to take advantage of
a new way to be part of the Nightside broadcast
by utilizing our talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. You
can make sure that you download and have the free
(35:14):
It's a free, new and improved iHeartRadio app. When you're
listening to Nightside Live on WBZ News Radio, you can
tap the red microphone talk back button in the top
right corner to send us your personalized audio message and
we'll play it back on Nightside. All you gotta do
is thirty seconds. You can't give us five minutes, just
(35:35):
thirty seconds. It can be critical, it can be complementary
or combination thereof, and we will play it. You can
do it during the day too. By the way, you
can just say this is for Dan Ray on Nightside
and we'll play it just that way. It's simple. Once again,
hit the red microphone button in the top right corner
of the app while you listen to Nightside and send
(35:56):
us your audio message and again minimize it well thirty seconds,
think about it ahead of time, and then we will
play it for you. Tomorrow night at nine o'clock, we'll
be talking with the Plymouth County District Attorney, Tim Cruz.
He has just been elected the Massachusetts prosecutor out of
Plymouth County. He's been elected the president of the National
(36:19):
Association of District Attorneys National Association of Prosecutors. We'll see
what he intends to do with his year in that office.
John Blodgett of Essex County was the president of that
same organization a few years ago, and it's an important
group of people in this country. You know, there was
(36:40):
an effort to kind of neutralize some of the district
attorneys around the country, and I think that a lot
of district attorneys have now been returned people who want
to prosecute criminals. Anyway, we're done for the night. As always,
Rob Brooks, thank you very much. Karen Boussemi did a
great job. Is We're heading to Wednesday, July thirtieth. We
(37:02):
will talk tomorrow night, so they said, with Tim Cruse,
Plymouth County District Attorney, and who knows, we may talk
about some other subjects which will be timely. My name's
Dan ray This is Nightside. I want to thank all
of you for listening, particularly those of you who called.
And I'll remind you all dogs, all cats, all pets
go to heaven. That's my pal Charlie ray Is, who
passed fifteen years ago in February. That's where all your
(37:23):
pets are who are passed. They love you and you
love them. I do believe you're going to see them again.
I'm going to do a quick, very quick wrap up
tonight postgame on Night Side with Dan Ray. If you
want to join us, do it. I'll be there before
you know it and I'll be gone before you know it.
Thanks everybody, See you tomorrow night. Have a stay cool
On Wednesday,
It's Nights with Dan Ray.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I'm telling you Boston's lead radio.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
All right, welcome back, everybody. I'm reminded that interest rates
were cut by the Federal Reserve the last time. The
most recent cut in December of twenty twenty four. They
lowered the federal funds raised by twenty five basis points
to a range of four point two five to four
point five. This is a third consecutive cut in twenty
(00:28):
twenty four, following a fifty percent bps basis points reduction
in September and another twenty five percent cut in November.
So yeah, incumbents like interest rate cuts. So that that
will wrap our conversation on interest rate cuts. We'll see
(00:51):
what happens tomorrow. If you wanted to bet long shots,
and I would never advise Betty really long shots. You
heard what Professor Greg Staller had to say. Now here's
what I would like to do. We're in the fourth
hour right now, and I don't know what I didn't
hear what the temperature was, but it's supposed to be
(01:13):
a very warm night out there if you do not
have benefit of air conditioning, and so this is probably
going to be the hottest day of the year we
broke a record going back to somewhere, was that the
nineteen thirty three. I was watching one of the weather
channels tonight, and I think that one of the local stations,
(01:34):
So I don't have to knows what did you do today? Okay,
and a lot of people I know we're on vacation.
So if you picked this week to be in vacation,
you picked up pretty good week because at least you're
not suffering the heat. I just want to find out
what did you do today. Some of you probably have
some neat little tricks in how you can make yourself
(01:57):
cooler under these circumstances. Suppose to be hot tomorrow, I
think that's what the weather forecast said, and then Thursday
we're supposed to have some sort of a cold front
come through. I was talking to a friend of mine
today who told me up in Halifax, Nova Scotia, today
just kind of up the road from us, it was
(02:18):
pouring rain and it was sixty six degrees, which I
guess we're going to get some rain later on this week.
But I'd love to know what you did today to
allow yourself to cool off. So let's just have a
little bit of fun maybe you went to a pool,
maybe you have a pool. Maybe it went you just
hung out in a mall. If I was in a
(02:40):
situation where I had the time, which I don't, but
if I had the time and I was in a
situation where I was really hot and did not have
access to a breeze or a fan or for that
matter of conditioning, I think going to a mall or
(03:01):
going to a supermarket is pretty It can be comforting.
I know that I noticed that when I walk into
a supermarket, Uh, you know, I'm going there to buy things. Obviously,
you can go to a mall. You don't have to
buy things. You can just kind of window shop in
the mall. So I love to know what you did
today to cool off. I watched the reports at the
(03:24):
top of the six o'clock news this evening, and it
looked as if they had a lot of the splash
pads working in Boston. And I know that there are
some swimming pools open in Boston, some of the what
we used to call the old MDC polls. But what
was your choice today? So I'm just gonna sit back
here and allow you to talk. Last night, at this hour,
(03:47):
we did we have some really interesting suggestions of show topics,
which which I like because I want to try, particularly
as we wend our way through the rest of the
summer through August, we can talk about serious stuff, and
we did. We have talked about serious stuff tonight. We
(04:08):
talked about mass and casts and what a blank that
is in that neighborhood and why it has been that
way for so long? Uh and and that's that's a
serious topic. And and last hour with Professor Staller Stoller.
He's he's a great guest. And he's a great guest
because he communicates directly with people and he's understandable. Uh.
(04:33):
He could he could take it highbrow on us, I'm
sure with the best of them. But I liked the
callers last hour. I certainly liked Dean. I should say, Derek,
the caller from from Dean College. So we're going to
open him up. What did you do today? Uh? Did
you sit inside and just relax? If you can do that,
(04:53):
that's great. It is summertime. We have two days left
in July. Today is the twenty ninth. An hour from
now will be in the the penelt of a day
of July. For me, the summer is going much too quickly.
It seems to me that the winters around here are
getting longer and the summers are getting shorter. We didn't
(05:16):
have a spring. We probably will have an extended fall,
which is wonderful. But boy, that winter. Once once that
cold here in New England arrives, it doesn't leave. You'll
get a couple of those nice days in early November
that I'm sure you can remember. But then it's December, January, February, March,
(05:43):
even April can be cold and raw and damp. And
then when it gets here and it's Memorial Day, it
starts to pick up pace. So let's have some fun
with it. Six seven four ten thirty six one seven
nine thirty. I'd love to know what you did today
to cool yourself off. Okay, some of you have some secrets.
(06:05):
Let's share them. Let's share them for the folks who
might be listening tonight, who are in apartment buildings and
don't have indoor air conditioning, may not even have a fan.
I certainly have heard of some easy ideas to cool off.
(06:26):
Join the conversation back on Nightside right after this.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Night Side with Dan Ray, I'm telling you Boston's news radio.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
For those of you who are statistically inclined. The all
time record for today, July twenty ninth, in Boston, it
was ninety eight degrees today. That broke the all time
record of ninety seven degrees, which was set in nineteen
thirty three. So if I do the math, that record
(06:58):
stood for ninety two years, ninety two years before the
vast majority of us were born. It broke the record
just by one point, but it broke the record. So
let's have a little bit of fun with this. The
other thing which I want to figure out is who
had the toughest job today. There were people who were
(07:23):
working outside today, and I gotta tell you it must
have been tough on all of those people who worked
outside today, and it'll be tough tomorrow. I'm not sure.
We got to figure out what the who's on accu
weather tonight. Maybe we get a quick comment for tomorrow.
He continues on Wednesday, with highs in the upper eighties
(07:45):
to mid nineties, so but with the humidity it'll feel
more like ninety five to one oh five across much
of southern New England. This would be the week, it
seems to be always the week, the last week in
July uh invariably when it is the hottest week of
(08:06):
the summer here in New England. It was last summer
and it will be so this summer. In my opinion,
let me go to Tim and winter. See what Tim
did to cool off today. I bet he's a creative
sort of guy. Hi, Tim, how are you all right?
Speaker 2 (08:19):
I'm the guy going to Arizona.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
So you don't mind the heat.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I love it. You know, this is fantastic What I
did today. I'll tell you at the end, real quick, Okay,
what I did today. I slept all day and then
I get up a little bit and had a little
bite tea, and then I just watched a little TV.
I have one air conditioner, a fan. I block off
too in a room. It's like you can hang meat
(08:47):
in one rope. Good for you in the other room,
you gotta I got a fan, so I got a
block of ice. Where I hooked that. I made it
make contraption where hook's on the back of a chair
and I I sit in that room and before I
was stifling hot. Now it's comfortable.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Way hold on, where do you get the block of ice?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
It's not ice, It's like an ice pack.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Okay, fine, it's a big one I.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Put I put hooks through it and put it in
a freezer in the cellar, and then bring it up
with stiff as a board, and I have a towel
underneath it, so it's not it's not bad.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
How big is this block block of ice?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
It's not block of ice, it's it's a it's a
the opposite of a heating pat. It's it's the same
thing covers the back of the chair, except I put
hooks on it to cover the chair. So I sit
back on my feet up and be nice and with
one one undershirt on, be nice and comfortable.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Okay, well, that's now why you want to move.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
To Arizona because I hate it here because my father
told me when I was younger, the longest cold snap
we ever had was forty one forty one days last
year from Thanksgiving to May, or sometimes in the middle
of May. It was like seventy three days something like that.
It was horrible, and I had enough.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Last I didn't. I don't remember last winter especially.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
It was cold. It was not that much snow, but
it was cold. It was solid cold. It was it
bothers me sitting waiting at the bus stop, I get
cold fast. You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Okay, all right, Tim, I got it. I got it.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
What I did was I went out at seven o'clock.
It's a mile away the store. I sat down, took breaks,
and I was dying. I got to the store. I
have a chair, I sit outside. I played Keino, and
halfway through I took I had a vanilla ice, a
(10:44):
slush slushy, and that did the job. That brought me back,
and it was fantastic. I made one hundred and eighty bucks. Then,
I too, can't beat that.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
You had a heck of a day. You were a
heck of a day, Tim. That's great, all right, I'm
happy the day worked well on.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
My least as thouts in January this year, January till uh.
It goes to uh right after the beginning of of EVA,
and then from now on it's going to be like, uh,
I'm going to go in November. I'm going to come
back in May fifteenth. Found trust made at all? The
(11:21):
second half?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Are you retired at this point too? Yep? Okay, good,
good for you, Good for you? And how long have
you been retired?
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Four years?
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Four years? And what sort of work did you do.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I was in the courthouse. I remember you in the courthouse.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Okay, you were working.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
You were there when the Chuck Stewart thing came on.
I was one of the quote officers there.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Yeah. Okay, so you're a court officer. Okay, great, Bob,
you deserve you deserve your retirement. Congratulations. Have a lot
of friends with quote officers. All right, Tim, I'm gonna
let you run. I got to get to some other
folks from.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Eighty five to eighty five in the winter. That's it.
And I'm going to Mount Lemon, up the hill and
it's nice up the traym there. I got old town Tucson.
You gotta go. You've been in Tucson, Yes, I had, Yes,
I have. Is that nice a nice place?
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Yes it is.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
It's smaller Phoenix and it's cool. But the two points
ten today and it was ninety seven by friends.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
I have friends in Tucson. Actually, Tim, I hate to
do this to you, man, because you're a font of
good information. But I got other folks. They got to
get you as well. So all right, thank you, thank you,
my friend, thanks for getting us going. Let me go
to Lola in Watertown. Lola, what did you do today
to keep cool.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Well, I kept my cool and I turned because I'm
jumping out at the house, so I have to keep pushing.
I can't let the weather dictate. So I put the
air conditioner really cool seventy three, so I was really
chilly in here. And then I went out in the
(12:55):
car and drove around with the air conditioning on. And
what I've been doing because it's so hot, I can't walk.
It's too much for me.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
You know.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
I'm up there, and I've been going to the supermarket
about an hour before they close, and I walk around
the supermarket. Nobody's in there, so it's no carriages are
in the way. And I get to you know, get
some steps in in its air conditions cause and they don't.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Yeah, I would be a little uncomfortable doing that in
a supermarket. I would. I would go to a mall
in a New York second.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Because oh no, no, mall is a soft target. I'm
staying out of the mall. So not to change the subjects,
but Russia had an earthquake and all of the West
Coast is under tsunami watch right now. Our west coast, yes,
my West coast, California. A yeah, Alaska, Hawaii.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
That's going to be that's gonna be good news for
everybody in California. Well hopefully that won't be. Hopefully, hopefully
that won't eventuate.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Yah, Sure, but it was.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
It was an eight point seven I think really it
was a good Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
How could how could they be? I know, Russia is
a big country. It spans about fourteen time zones, I believe.
And when you get up like, yeah, ladys Vladivostok, which
is one place I have no desire to go travel to,
have you do? You've woke up in the night and said,
you know, I'd like to spend a week in Vladivostark.
Just the name Vladivostok.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Oh my god, No, no, you know we're saying.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I mean Paris, London, Stockholm. Those sound like nice cities.
But whoever named that Russian city Vladivostok. It's up there
in the far east end of the country. It's fairly
close to North Korea.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
No interest in them that it's in east.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
It's in East Russia where the where the earthquake was.
So maybe it's right there what you're talking about.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Well, you know that that could be again, I assume
it has to be in the eastern portion of Russia
to have that tsunami effect on the Pacific Ocean, because
when I last checked the ocean that that borders California
was the Pacific Ocean. Correct me if I'm.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Wrong, exactly, Yeah, No, that's that's exactly where it was
on the east, the east side of Russia.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
Oh man, I'm telling you this. What do you hate worse?
You work outdoors? I mean you are outdoors as a Stonemason.
Do you hate the winter worst or the summer worse?
Speaker 4 (17:18):
I hate the winter? Really, I can't work much in
the wintertime. I don't make no money. But anyhow, I
work until like the second week in December, third week.
But the summer, right, I'm gonna say, I like the heat.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
So how much time do you take off for the winter?
Speaker 4 (17:39):
Probably three months in wintertime. What I do people I
do work for on round roppy. I shovel their wash
and driveways. Keeps me going.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Okay, little exercise never hurt right, work will never hurt you. No,
Well again, you've been in a stone Mason. You told
me how many years?

He's the spat off. Anyhow, I called you this morning.
I don't know you got my message.
Speaker 1 (18:20):

they really giving her a hard time, but she can
use it for the legal thies. I want to send
her fifty once I get her address.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yeah, I don't have an address, but I think that
you could probably find mind one of her lawyers locally. Uh,
that that's a possibility. I can help you do that
probably if you if you needed.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
To do that, okay one of the lawyers, huh.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Yeah, you send it to the lawyer care of and
the lawyers are gonna we'll pass it on to her.
They're probably not going to give you her home.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
Address last time. Right, she just got her SUV and
a phone back.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
Well, I heard I read the story yesterday said she
was she was trying to get it back. I'm not
sure that that that she has she did Okay, Well,
it never.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
More legal thief anyhow, she got it back, like I'm happy.
I'm happy for her.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Well, I know that you were a big supporter of
of Karen Reider, and I know it came out the
way you wanted to come out. Tim. I'm in my
newscast here, so I appreciate you calling early tonight, I
really do.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
And uh, I hope you may by the way, right.
One of the vocabulary you have, well, there's a few
wor big.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Words I know you know, but your vocabulary is fine too.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
I mean, you question, I'm a high school graduate. I
didn't go to college. I had to go to work. Anyhow,
you do a great job. I helped to talk to
you soon. Keep up the good work.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Right back at you, Tim, We'll talk to him. Thank you, buddy,
appreciate it. Stay cool tomorrow. Okay, to take a break
here news at the bottom of the hour. I'd love
to hear from you wherever you are, wherever you are
within the sound of my voice. Looking for some new
callers here. We're just trying to light it up. We
had a couple of heavy topics tonight during the nine
o'clock hour. We talked about the disaster that is mass
(20:37):
and cast that is that area that has become a
magnet for people who deal drugs and who use drugs
and people who need help. And then last hour we
talked with Professor Greg Staller of the Boston University of
Question School of Business, all sorts of things, economics, tariffs,
about the FED meeting tomorrow in which interest rates may
(20:59):
or may not be lowered. They're not going to be increased,
but I think the consensus is they will stay the same.
And tonight I'm just trying to light it up. And
it's been a long day for you. And for me,
if you're driving somewhere and you're on vacation, let us
know how'd you cool off today. I'm sure that some
of you were able to cool off creatively. Okay, So
(21:22):
that's what I want to hear, because maybe your idea
of cooling off might help some poor soul tomorrow cool off.
Who's listening tonight, because it's supposed to be not quite
as hot tomorrow, but it's it's going to be, as
we say in New England, a scorcher, a scorcher, just
like today, not quite as bad as today. Six one, seven, two, five, four,
(21:43):
ten thirty six one seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty.
We're in North America's back porch. It's metaphorical back porch.
Step up on the porch, say what you have to say,
and we'll get other people to react to your ideas.
Coming right back on the night side, you're right with
Dan Ray ONBZ Boston's news radio. According to one weather
(22:05):
site that I'm looking at am breaking the heat to
come Wednesday night. That's tomorrow night, twenty four hours from now,
when a cold front is expected to move into the region.
You call it a cold front, but it's kind of
a cool front, if you know what I'm saying. I
think of a cold front in the wintertime, bringing the
potential for isolated and scattered showers and thunderstorms. According to
the Service, Cloudy Weather with much cool attempts to expect
(22:29):
it Thursday into Friday, with the potential for steady, soaking
rainfalls somewhere in southern New England or in the northern
mid Atlantic region. Well, I can do without the soaking rainfall,
but we'll take a little bit maybe during the night.
Simple as that skip only to go to Tim in Pennsylvania. Hey, Tim,
how warm was it in Pa? Today?
Speaker 5 (22:51):
It was only like about ninety wasn't for real hot?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
That's still real hot as far as I'm concerned, Tim,
I gotta tell you, well, it was nice.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
Than we ran five k today. I was fine.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
You r in what wa? You ran five k today?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (23:11):
I gotta get out and work out, you know. I
I that's three miles?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
What is that? That's three miles? Three point one miles?
Speaker 5 (23:21):
Three point one Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I used to I used to run. I used to
run ten k. What was your time for three point
one mile today?
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (23:30):
It was embarrassing. I don't want to talk about I'm
kind of rehabilitating, so I'm my time though.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Well I never had like the physique of a runner,
but I once did a ten k yeah in forty two.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Oh wow, Yeah, it wasn't bad.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
It wasn't bad. It's about a seven minute you know,
six seven minute miles. I wasn't gonna win anything with that,
but believe me, I could. I got I was okay
for a while. That slowed down.
Speaker 5 (24:06):
More reason to not tell you the time I did today.
So you know, so I want, I really do I
I really I love the hot weather I lived for
this year and I was in the coast guard something hubble.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Okay, come on, sure that's where. That's where our towers are.
Towers you probably have seen them.
Speaker 5 (24:33):
Oh I remember them. I that was the landmark, you know.
I actually I was a landmarks from see too. Yeah
once in a while to pick them out, so you
kind of had a better idea of where you were.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Well, that's why our signal, by the way, uh is
as strong as it is, because I've had people call
me from places like Bermuda and I'll say, well, you
must be listening, and they say, nope, hearing it right
over the water because i've the water's flat and sometimes
our signal has been picked up. They used to mark
(25:05):
they used to back in the day. They used to
send out a card from w b Z to people
who heard the signal somewhere far away, and they would
send the card. Which was a great idea, but there
was our signal was picked up way before the internet
over the year radio in places like Norway and Sweden.
Speaker 5 (25:27):
I actually picked it up once I went to school
and sang Louis. I picked it up and sang Louis once.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
I had a caller one night with a Tentrances the
radio in Winnipeg, Manitoba. No, he was a he was
a guy who worked construction and he was from somewhere
like in Ontario and used to listen to us all
the time in Ontario, and he would listen to us
(25:55):
on his radio, and one night he called in from Winnipeg, Manitoba,
which pretty far out there, that's out north of Bontana.
But with the Internet now it's it's no big deal.
I've had people call in from plenty of the countries
in Europe. I've had people call in from the Philippines,
from Australia, all.
Speaker 5 (26:17):
Over the world on the other side of the world.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Oh, absolutely, well, they're mainly there. They are people who
used to live in Massachusetts who are now what we
call expats who want to keep in contact at home. Yeah,
that's the way it works.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
Well, I'm an ex pat.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
So so yeah, you lived did you grow up in Massachusetts?
Speaker 5 (26:38):
Brockton?
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Yeah, Brockton. All right, we got a lot of listeners
in Brockton. And so where in pa are you now?
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Well, an hour and a half north of Pittsburgh, So
you're up by ear right on the Ohio line. So
I get my gasoline for two dollars and ninety nine
cents the gallon. So I'm pretty excited.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
Well I'm getting it here in Massachusetts today for two.
I was in eighty four since totally really yeah, true story,
true story. I had I got it a week ago
for to eighty two. Actually, so what are you up?
If you're north of Pittsburgh, you gotta be up by Erie, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 5 (27:18):
Yeah, close to it. Yeah, I'm right on the line. Yeah,
so yeah, about an hour and a half to Erie.
Maybe more fun.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
So you're over by Ohio.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
Oh, I'm right online.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Yeah, you know what's what city in Ohio.
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Are you closest to Youngstown?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Oh? Sure, I've been in Youngstown.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
Yeah, really, yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Yeah, that's a matter of fact. I believe that the
congressman there was Tim Ryan. If I'm not mistaken, I
had no idea.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
I've only been here three years in September. So okay,
good for you, Good for young.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
So you got you gotta tip for anybody out to stay.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Cool, well, other than running a.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Three point one miles in nine degree heat.
Speaker 5 (28:08):
I mean, I think you kind of work up your exercise.
You work up your metabolism more old than it cools
you right afterwards, it cools you down. You know you
feel No.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
No, I've worked out today. I did twenty five minutes
on an elliptico, broke a great sweat. Yeah. No, It's
the best thing you can do. I think it's sometimes
safer to do it in a gym, depending upon your circumstance,
than being out there on the road. But I used
to run in those sort of temperatures as well. Tim.
(28:41):
I appreciate you taking the time to call. Thanks for
thanks for checking.
Speaker 5 (28:45):
I wanted to tell you one story. Sure, okay, as
you said. It was in the Coastguard up in holl And.
So you understand why I really hate the cold. Yeah,
and I love the heat. We had a case once,
Uh the air temp was zero, the wind was forty
(29:05):
miles an hour. When we hit a trough, water would
just hit the boat and freeze to the boat.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
You know.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
So the total windshill factor was seventy below zero. I
mean everything did hurt everything, how far?
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Wait? Where were where you were you in relation to hull?
Speaker 5 (29:26):
Oh that was that was right in the harbor with
level of violence. Woh but oh yeah, I mean waves
can kick up inside the harbor too, you know.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
And what year was this approximately?
Speaker 5 (29:41):
What year it would have been like ninety five, ninety
six somewhere around there.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
It's weird some cold that was. And that was around
the time we had the the April Fools blizzard about
thirty inches of snow on April April first.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Yeah, yeah, oh I remember.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Yeah, So all right, but hey, I had passed.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
Break about the heat. I remember that day, that case.
And I'm good with the heat, you know.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
I'm I'm past my break here. I really enjoyed the call.
Keep calling the show, Tim check in. Okay, you're an
ex pat in Pennsylvania, thanks, talk again. All right, I
got a couple of open lines. Come on, let's finish
this up strong. We get a couple of minutes here
for a break and feel free. Six one seven, two, five,
four ten thirty, six one seven nine thirty. I'm disappointed
(30:30):
that my audience is keeping all of the secrets of
keeping cool. Look, you can always take and you can
make an ice pack, Grab a towel, put some ice
cubes in the towel, and wrap the towel around your neck.
That's an easy thing. Okay, simple as that. That's easy.
If you have a frozen bag in the refrigeratord frozen corn,
(30:51):
frozen peas, and you're really dying, throw it on the
back of your neck. Okay, you know it's not going
to spoil the frozen vegetables. Uh, then you maybe even
for dinner. That's pretty easy. Okay, you can do that stuff.
There's a lot of ways to stay cool. Obviously, try
to minimize your your activities you want to stay cool.
(31:13):
But I'm hoping some of you got a couple of
tips which would help. Back on nightside six one seven, two, five,
four ten thirty or six one seven, nine three one
ten thirty We're coming back on Nightside.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
It's nice Side with Dan Ray on.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
Boston's news radio.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Well, I got a bunch of lazy listeners who don't
want to share their their warm weather suggestions, but bailing
me out as Joe and Belmont. Hey, Joe, welcome back
to Nightside. Thanks for checking in. Joe, go right ahead.
Speaker 4 (31:43):
Dan.
Speaker 6 (31:43):
I cooled off this morning by going down the ac
library skimming the headlines of the Herald, Globe, Wall Street
Journal in New York Times. And then this afternoon I
stayed in an act living room listening to news radio WBZ.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Sounds like a perfect day to me, Joe. I mean,
the only thing that's missing you just stopping at duncans
and get coffee or something, or at least ice coffee.
Speaker 6 (32:14):
Well, I go to McDonald's. I know you like chocolate,
but I'm like Trump. I like my diet coke from McDonald's.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Good for you, Good for you now, Joe, you retired
at this point.
Speaker 6 (32:28):
I got two years of wisdom on you. Dan, I
won't give you rage.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
So you're retired, Okay, Yes, that's good. And let me
ask you a lot of people when they talk about retirement,
they'll say they look forward to retiring and then they'll say,
all of a sudden, you realize you got nothing to do,
and time weighs heavy on your on your hands, on
your mind. Do you keep yourself busy?
Speaker 6 (32:54):
Yes? I do, you know, Dan, like a lot of
people can't take the retirement. They have to get a
part time jobst time job. I heard that I use
my time wisely. Uh, Jesus loves me, Dan and blesses me.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Well that's good. Let me tell you, I I hope
he blesses me. And I'm I'm right there with you.
I believe too, Joe. You're somebody who believes a lot
and you you you profess it often, which I'm delighted
to hear. You know that we tend not to do
a lot of the religious stuff on the show. But yeah,
I'm a believer, no doubt.
Speaker 6 (33:31):
Jesus loved ones Dan, And uh, what did you cool
off today? You did a little exercise? Huh?
Speaker 1 (33:39):
Yeah, I was in the gym early. The gym's not
the you can break you pretty good sweat and the
jim at least that's my experience. So I was. I.
I try to get there. I try to get there
six days a week. I take Sunday off just to
kind of give you a chance to coop a little bit.
(34:00):
But exercise for me has always been pretty important. And
today I felt badly for people like our friend Tim
from Woburn to Mason, who had to work outside. I'm
able to work in relative comfort. Well, I had a
busy day, There's no doubt about that. I had a
very busy day. And the day when the day goes
(34:23):
by much too quickly when you're working. And I'm glad
that you keep active, Joe, and keep your mind active,
which I know you do.
Speaker 6 (34:30):
I walk three miles almost every day when it's under
eighty five.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
That's an excellent form of exercise. It's probably the best
form of exercise for someone who might be, as I say,
on the wrong side of fifty. Joe. I'm going to
let you go here, but I thank you for calling
very much, and as always, we will talk soon.
Speaker 6 (34:49):
Okay, thank you for taking my call.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
All right, buddy, talk to you soon. So let me
wrap up here with a couple of items. One, I
really do want to encourage you to take advantage of
a new way to be part of the Nightside broadcast
by utilizing our talkback feature on the iHeartRadio app. You
can make sure that you download and have the free
(35:14):
It's a free, new and improved iHeartRadio app. When you're
listening to Nightside Live on WBZ News Radio, you can
tap the red microphone talk back button in the top
right corner to send us your personalized audio message and
we'll play it back on Nightside. All you gotta do
is thirty seconds. You can't give us five minutes, just
(35:35):
thirty seconds. It can be critical, it can be complementary
or combination thereof, and we will play it. You can
do it during the day too. By the way, you
can just say this is for Dan Ray on Nightside
and we'll play it just that way. It's simple. Once again,
hit the red microphone button in the top right corner
of the app while you listen to Nightside and send
(35:56):
us your audio message and again minimize it well thirty seconds,
think about it ahead of time, and then we will
play it for you. Tomorrow night at nine o'clock, we'll
be talking with the Plymouth County District Attorney, Tim Cruz.
He has just been elected the Massachusetts prosecutor out of
Plymouth County. He's been elected the president of the National
(36:19):
Association of District Attorneys National Association of Prosecutors. We'll see
what he intends to do with his year in that office.
John Blodgett of Essex County was the president of that
same organization a few years ago, and it's an important
group of people in this country. You know, there was
(36:40):
an effort to kind of neutralize some of the district
attorneys around the country, and I think that a lot
of district attorneys have now been returned people who want
to prosecute criminals. Anyway, we're done for the night. As always,
Rob Brooks, thank you very much. Karen Boussemi did a
great job. Is We're heading to Wednesday, July thirtieth. We
(37:02):

Plymouth County District Attorney, and who knows, we may talk
about some other subjects which will be timely. My name's
Dan ray This is Nightside. I want to thank all
of you for listening, particularly those of you who called.
And I'll remind you all dogs, all cats, all pets

(37:23):
pets are who are passed. They love you and you
