(00:02):
Single handedly writing the book on debutalbums. Right there, it's Boston's Classic
Rock one hundred point seven w zX, Kady Young, Pete McKenzie,
Heather Ford and well that didn't takelong. Already getting the talkbacks. If
people busting my chops, you gottalove it. What WHATD Kevin used to
say that the control board and thecomputer system is a companies are Ferrari with

(00:23):
a Volkswagen engine. Beautiful Ferrari,gorgeous lines the equipment with the Geloppe engine.
Let's here, good morning, fellowrep season ticket older calling in just
a bus Kenny Chuck letting a littlebit of dead air slip in there after
Heather sign off. Kevin never wouldhave done that, Not only Kevin.
He had to be sarcastic because uhyeah, I truly recall it was almost

(00:48):
a daily bit. The way Kevinwould handle that was glare through the glass.
If he fired the button and itdidn't it, you know, you
didn't get the audio, he wouldtake his hand up in the air with
his finger pointing down and go,hey, let's try it again, let's
try it, really exaggerated, pointsdown. Yeah, yeah, he doesn't
do it. I aggressively, willhammer the button. If I press it

(01:10):
harder, maybe it'll come on.No, just the amount of times it
has to be fifteen or twenty.There's an article in Yahoo about different and
weird things that people have for houserules. So and one of them is
that the people you weren't allowed totalk when you went over to dinner at
a certain family's home because they believethe silence helps with digestion, So after

(01:32):
dinner you had to sit in silence. One person went to visit a friend's
house in high school all the time, and they had to sit on the
couch together with all the kids whilethe father silently drank a beer and watched
TV. He wouldn't let any ofthem speak. There's homes where people turn
off the internet and all electricity inthe evening because they think all of that,
of all the waves the radio waveswill disturb their sleep. Not the

(01:55):
distraction of family discussion. Then no, no, no, just because they'll
be disturbed in their right And oneperson wrote, my aunt's ex husband used
to make us sit and watch everyoneeat before we would be served food.
That's awkward. My aunt's husband usedto tell us we weren't allowed to laugh
or smile or giggle. We wereat East the first time we ever met
him. I was fourteen. We'reat Easter dinner and I made a joke

(02:20):
and my cousins we all laughed.And he was from Germany. He reprimanded
us about laughing at the table.Wow, And that's not even the weirdest
thing I've witnessed. I visited afriend's house. He was a teacher,
he was older, and his wifewas there. And when I walked in,
I was wearing shoes without socks becauseI you know, sandals, right,

(02:42):
it was summertime. And she goes, hold on and she goes,
take off your shoes. I gookay, And then I go to walk
and she goes no. And thenshe reaches into the closet and pulls out
a brand new pair of socks andit informs me that I need to put
those on right now. Did youget to take them home? Yeah,
but it was weird. Just tellme not to come in. I'm okay

(03:02):
with that, yeah, or likewe'll go talk outside. It wasn't like
it was raining, but I hadto put on fresh socks to walk around
her house. And I'd never donethat before because I was only like twenty
two years old. So I saidto her at the end, I go,
do you want these backs? Shegoes, no, that's what.
And I'm thinking to myself, I'venever been introduced to someone as weird as

(03:23):
you. I don't know how tobehave right now. I'm barely college educated
at this point. So she didn'twant footprints on the heart and want naked
feet on her germs and on herfording. That's kind of weird. Carpet
it was all carpeted. I havea similar See I have a similar one
to yours. Jim and Linda justwonderful people. He's a mechanic, runs

(03:47):
a service center and she is anurse and they have a lovely home.
And similar to that, when wewalk in the door, you got to
kick your shoes off. Okay,I get that. Whatever, That's fine.
I kind of like that with aside porch too, Yeah, no
biggie on that. But then shehas a lot of carpeting, and in
her in her carpeting, she's gotall the vacuum stripes. So there were

(04:09):
certain rooms you can't watch. Ifwe're not going to go in there,
you're not walking in there because shedoesn't want feet footprints to mess up the
pattern, mess up the pattern ofthe vacuum a little bit. That's that's
about the only one I can thinkof for a house rule in a card
game. What do you mean cardgames have house? House? Yeah?

(04:30):
Yeah, and those makes sense.One woman goes, I used to visit
a friend's house. I only didit once or twice when she was a
kid has slept over it, andthe father would wake them up by banging
pots and pants and make them goon to run before breakfast. One other
person said, I went to visita friend's house when I was in college,
and the apparently there was a strictbe up by a certain time for
breakfast. Otherwise the kitchen was closedand they woke up later not knowing,

(04:54):
and the whole family said, well, the kitchen is closed, you can't
eat what we're eating, even thoughthey were you can have cereal, And
when the person went to sit downwith the cereal, the rest of the
family got up and walked away,including the person that invited them. Kind
of comedies. Are you hanging outwith us? Oh? You never know
what you're getting into when you visitpeople's homes. My dad had like this
unwritten rule. And I don't knowabout your parents, but like there was

(05:15):
you could not have a hat onat the table, even if it was
the breakfast table, you couldn't havea hat on. He didn't even like
people wearing hats in the house,and he would when I had would have
friends over, he would literally reachover and grab my friend's hats off their
head and throw them on the ground. We had no hats at the dinner
table, like it was. Itwas like a learned rule. Like but

(05:38):
then my friends would come over andthey go, why did he do that?
Like they were scared of him.No one wore hats in my house,
Like my brother wasn't a hat wearAnd even though I wear them now,
I didn't wear them when I wasa kid. So I'm maybe my
parents had that rule, but Iwould never have known, right Like I
to this day, I still getlike weird Catholic guilt when I go down

(05:58):
to see my dad in their Tampa, Like I'll go in. As soon
as I go in the house,I'm like, should I take should I
take my hat off? Like I'ma grown man? Why am I doing
this? Because it's rules? Youlove them? I constantly revert back to
being twelve years old and being horrifiedwith a hat threat. Then you should
think to yourself, I have greathair. Of course I should take my
hand, great hairy. All Ikeep thinking, though, is if I

(06:18):
were in a situation like that now, I still would follow whatever weird rule
because I'd be so weirded out bywhat they were asking. Yeah, even
as an adultual right right, Yeah, you just want to you don't want
to make any waves. You're like, sure, I'll do all your weird
things. Now. I want toput on a pair of timberlands and go
to that person's house with the carpetlike pattern. Yeah. I write my

(06:40):
initials thinking more like carpet angels.That would be like that seven thirty here
at ZLX, Boston's only classic rockmorning show. The things that happened during
the music it's one hundred point sevenw ZLX seven legs and swear words.
I could crush a platter of devilsnow, I think we all could they

(07:00):
call me Kenny Young. That's HeatherFord, Pete McKenzie. Would you believe
if I told you people that thatrecord from Scorpions is going to turn thirty
forty for thirty pete. It's notfrom nineteen ninety three. I just throw
it out there on March of eightyfour, so to mark the occasion.
Scabion's there's no dut in front ofit. Uh. They're going to do
a residency and play the entire albumfrom front to back in Vegas starting in

(07:26):
April. Just on a corner.Yeah, one road and another they're going
to be fighting two hookers and aman who's panhandled? Is there another hit
on that album? At the bockedTheater? Wait? Are you asking me
if there's another hit on that record? Wow? I mean they're loving you.
Big City Knights come to Mine.Okay, all right, it's a
big record for those guys. Sonow sing those pete right in Germany?

(07:49):
Coming Home is another way? That'sright, right, Price Hated? Is
that what you were talking about before? Yeah? Because on the album cover
there's a couple of models and thecouples going at it, and her hang
up was the side boob. Themodel had mother say what did she say?
Just inappropriate? It's disgusting. Shedidn't say, I don't want you
looking at that. I don't rememberthe side boob, but move did not

(08:13):
exist in the eighties. No onesaid it like that. She would do
that. It was just stop it, half of her boob, put it
away. Stop it. I don'twant you looking at that stuff, right,
Yeah, so you think about it? Whoever, did you ever use
it? Well? It made mewant to look at more of it.
Yeah. Did you ever use thealbum cover to you know, make yourself
happy? No? No, okay, I had the series catalog for no.

(08:35):
Right, where's your good housekeeping?After you love shoulder pads? Ye?
Good? Let's get into it,can, let's get it? So?
What's going on with Boston's only classicrock morning show? One seven w
Z LEX. I'm going to saytwo names? You see if you guys
remember him now, A lot's happenedwith Boston's only classic rock morning lay reaction

(09:01):
a thank you? All right?A lot has happened in the last few
weeks. We all understand that.But if I mentioned the names Amy and
Ralph, Oh, what is goingon? I don't know. The board
is haunted over here? What Kevin? What are you doing to us?
Yeah? Two names? All right? Uh? Yeah, Amy and Ralphie.
It's been a few weeks. Doyou remember me mentioning those names?

(09:24):
No? Amy and Ralphie. No, you have to give me I have
my brain stopped working on the twentyseventh, and then it's like rebooting the
way. The context I was usingthose two names, Amy and Ralphie was
Amy. You know who you are, oh the dog and Ralphie. Yeah
the dog is the dog? Yeahyour dog got attack dog did yes?

(09:46):
Right? So you had to takeWinston for like lots of different things because
he was attacked just once, okay, yeah, but he had to go
to the hospital. Eyes. Yeah, he got a bit on the eyeball,
so punk his eyelid above and below. It was. It was much
less traumatic when I saw him forthe first time after this incident at the

(10:09):
kennel. Then I thought it wasgoing to be I thought it was going
to be just a bloody mess.But it was too small puncture one.
But he did have to go.And you know, see if that and
you know that scialist, which didyou even know those existed? Now?
An optometrist, Yeah, yeah,otometrist. I mean, who's going to
tell you you did it wrong?By the way, no one was such

(10:31):
a specialized thing too. If youremember when I met her, her eyes
were crossed. I don't Yeah,I don't know if I was here for
that exact thing. I think Iwas here for after. I don't know
if i'd trust that optometrist, Iwouldn't, right, But she did a
great job and the dog is infantastic shape. So the problem was that
Ralphie was pointed out at the kennelas the aggressor. Yes, and we

(10:56):
were to pursue on our own gettingreimbursed from the owners of Ralphie, which
we did. We went back andforth once with him, and then I
told my wife, just tell him, here's the bill. Do the right
thing. You know, your dog'sbeen right. So we didn't hear anything.

(11:18):
Well, you did hear that theysaid it wasn't their dog. Oh
that was prior. Yeah, wedidn't hear any response from our final email.
They checked no accountability, no accountability. We're like, okay, that's
fine. It's five hundred I don'tknow, maybe six hundred and thirty bucks
or something like that. It wasfive hundred and fifty dollars is what it
was. So time goes by.We get an envelope in the mail,

(11:43):
really sign check from Amy. Youdid the right thing. She did the
right thing. So Kevin would havetaken this to court, you remember,
But that's so complicated. And whereis this court? Yeah? Like,
where would you be small claims?I know where is this small clear judge?
Every town has one, Heather,Really I don't know, Yes,

(12:05):
I don't know what works we havea judge in our town. I'd like
to know where they live. Really? Yeah? Oh yeah, make friends
with them, is what I'm saying. Oh of course, yeah, so
im not to hurt them. Imade my way to the bank immediately,
just to make sure you know thatthey weren't going to cancel the check.
And yes, I've I've checked itout today. It's it's cleared. So

(12:28):
I just want to say Amy,thank you for doing the right thing.
I mean, that's all it takes. Sometimes you don't have to take people
to court. No, right,all the time. If she's give them
a little bit of guilt. I'venever taken people to court. Oh,
Kevin loved to do it. Hetook people to court. God, yeah,
I thought that was just talk.No, he really took the person

(12:48):
who leased his first apartment to himto court because there were mice in the
wall and she wouldn't get terminator.That's funny. I lived in an apartment
in Buffalo and the rats in thewalls, and I just saw them as
part of my security system. Maybethat was the rule underneath me. I

(13:09):
mean, if anybody was going totake care of him, it was going
to be the guys with the batthey were practicing on the rats. Maybe
I'm just glad to build my bankaccount a little bit. Yeah, I
congratulations to you, and thanks forsplitting it with us. And also thank
you for the fact that now Iknow I could get a job as an
eye doctor for dogs and basically,after you know, paying for the schooling,
no one can check my work.Yeah, and you're not cross eyed,

(13:31):
so I think you're already a goodcandidate. Best job ever. Who's
your boss? And what dog isgoing to say that didn't help? I
can't see. That's right, that'sa great job. My god, he's
all good. He's all heeled up, with the first grown back over it.
You can't even see there's no scarring. So yeah, it's amazing.
So I always knew your dog hadplastic surgery. Windston seven fifty thirty seven

(13:54):
degrees at Boston's Classic Rock one hundredpoint seven from a Planet Fitness to see
Lex Studios. Now, thanks formaking that part of your morning. Great
story one seven w SE LX Boston. You want a warning story or you
want like the possibility of good newsstory first, I'd like to stay relaxed,

(14:18):
So option two, option too.You want me to give you the
good news first, and then youwant me to end on the horror.
Yeah, and then raise you know, raise my heart level. Okay,
see how that works out. OnBZ this morning, the headline is there's
a bill to create a four daywork week program in Massachusetts, and the
hearing for that is this morning.The only way we figure into that is
if it's Monday through Thursday or Tuesdaythrough Friday. Even then we don't figure

(14:41):
why not on air doesn't figure whynot because nobody's it's a weekend for everybody.
Well, no, it wouldn't.It doesn't have to be the same
day, like, you know,your day off could be any day as
long as you're picking like the companieswon't make it. The only way they
work is Monday through their Thursday orTuesday through Friday. It's the only way

(15:01):
it would work for us. Otherwisewe're working five days a week. Yeah,
and well, so a bill iscoming before the Labor and Workforce Development
Committee, and there would be atax break for people who are companies who
are looking to try and test outthe four day work week. I know
people that work four days, butthey work two hours more each day.
Yeah, that's how it works forthat ten hour days, right to make

(15:24):
up for and then and they loveit absolutely. But this one isn't even
asking for two extra hours each day. This one's just saying people burn out
less have you know, higher output? Yeah, more productive when they have
more time to rest for themselves.Well, they wouldn't be working on salary.
Then they'd be working hourly. Ifthey weren't working forty hours a week,

(15:46):
you're not in salary. I thinkit would be the reverse, wouldn't
it, So you'd be aware thesalary. People would be working four days,
only working thirty eight hours a week. Well you only you'd only be
working for four days on your whateversalary you get, and that's only hours
a day, so it's thirty twohours. Yeah, you're saying they wouldn't
have to work the extra two hours. No, I'm just saying it would

(16:06):
just be regular. It would bethe same pay for and less hours you'd
be working. No, it wasmy understand It all over the country,
no company. Really, They've doneit all over the in different places where
they employees are getting paid the sameand working less, but their output in
the time that they are there improves, so the amount of work they do

(16:26):
in that time is more efficient.Yes, yeah, it was my understanding.
There'd be no math here today.Oh I know, I know.
Well, the minute Pete started talkingmath, a little part of me just
melted and then the rest of itjust snuck inside the melty part. But
I like the work and extra afew other days because I can't tell you
how many Thursdays I've done stuff toget ahead on the weekend on Thursday so

(16:49):
that my Friday is a little shorter. Oh yeah, I get in the
habit of doing that a lot whenI can, and I find I am
a little more productive because banging thatstuff out. Yeah, I'm here longer
on Thursdays, but I'm getting aheadon the weekend stuff. That would be
why they're quoting it as the MassachusettsSmart work Week Pilot. Yeah. I've
listened and read about different places thathave done this. Sometimes it's just a

(17:10):
company that decided to go through withit, just to see what would happen.
And I remember listening to one guyand he was like, you know
what, there's I think he said, they built r vs. He his
company was a company that built rv's high end ones, like the highest
end one. No. No,no, like like homes nice. Yes,

(17:30):
that was a pretty nice. No. I mean like these are like
luxury ones like rock stars, yes, exactly with marble tiles in the exactly.
And he said that although they don'tuh, the workers don't do as
much as they did before. Histurnover rate is much lower, which helps.
You don't have to train anybody.Everybody's happy to be at work.

(17:53):
It's a more relaxed environment. Andhe was willing to make that trade off,
mostly because they make so much moneyto do that for the employees that
he had. Could it be agateway drug though all of a sudden,
it's a four day work week.Now you want a three day work How
many people are in here five daysa week? Because this does our company?
That's been point. They don't.They haven't comments for four years.
Our company is similar to other companiesthough, like I know people that have

(18:17):
have not gone back in other companies. They just work from home now and
that say, and maybe they couldget all their work done in four days,
and maybe they can't. I meanthey're saving on commutes. I mean,
how many hours are you in acar a day? My car is
what about gas? Four dollars again? Want three fifty a gallon? My
car has been on the road forfive years. I have one hundred and
fifty two thousand miles on it.That's it. Oh, we could easily

(18:41):
have you know, we could allhave home studios. I know. I
mean at the very root of it. Though, isn't Henry Ford the one
to blame? Because if I'm notmistaken, I watch a lot of Jeopardy.
Wasn't Henry Ford the originator of thefive day, forty hour work week?
Probably? I think he was.I think he popularized. So you
don't like math, but I'm forcedto hear your history. That's right,

(19:03):
okay, Right, I see howit works, and you and you two
picked the happy story. So nowI'm going to give you the not happy
story to raise your blood pressure.Come on, police are warning in certain
towns. And these towns are likebill Ricka Lowell, Chelmsfur, It's Tingsboro,
Tewkesbury that there's a group, Iwould say, a couple, a
man and a woman driving around ina car. And I again, I've

(19:25):
never heard this as a way ofrobbing people before, so just be aware.
And if they see someone who's olderor elderly walking, they engage them
in friendly chit chat and then theyhave them come over and they say,
hey, we've got this jewelry.Maybe they say my mother doesn't want it
anymore, do you want it?And like it's fake a jewelry, and
they they attempt to put it onthe person that they're talking to, and

(19:47):
then in the process they aggressively removethe jewelry. The person's already wearing the
bait and switch. This. WhenI saw the headline and CVB this morning,
Police Warren Cluster of Massachusetts Communities aboutjewelry thieves, I thought these or
smashing grabs. They're not smashing grabsof stores, they're smashing grabs of people.
So if you're walking around this areaand a nice couple engages you in

(20:07):
conversation and wants to put some jewelryon you, run or do what I
do own two Great Danes. Noone approaches me when I walk them.
They all think my dogs are gonnakill them. One of them might kill
you. The other one's very friendly. I won't tell you which is which.
I just stay in your house andtake a nap. Yeah, I

(20:30):
am t leave your jewelry at home, lady. I think the funny part
about this is, and it's notfunny, is that we tell children not
to approach strangers, and now wehave to tell the elderly. It's like
they're vulnerable too. It's the bellcurves, the lex weather, lots of
clouds and breaks of sun. Highsin the upper forties, mostly sunny,

(22:03):
rockf What the moment of the dayon WCLX. Okay, I was just
making sure that was properly edited.Listen. Normally at this time, you
guys are doing Florida man stories.Ohio's been making a strong push to get
into that arena. Right, Topfive for sure? How often do we

(22:25):
hear a WTF moment regarding Washington State, Washington, the Great Northwest? Yes,
No, the land of many Beavers, lake Forest. I don't think
that's called that Abington is, butnot this lake Forest park man. We
might have to put the robes ontwo seventy two year old George Piano.

(22:47):
We're gonna hear from George Piano,better play it? And what happened In
his thirteen page lawsuit filed against alocal hospital, You're not gonna believe what
happened to this poor guy year notthe same person I was I when this
started. When I woke up,it came out of the drugs. I
was in serious pain, much worsethan I had been when I went into

(23:08):
the hospital. In a recently filedlawsuit, Piano says, instead of taking
out his appendix, the doctor removeda piece of his colon and punctured the
organ. They took out the wrongorgan. William att Is appendix removed.
This is my oldest so he's seventeen. When he was sixteen, he had
his appendix removed, and it's sotiny, it's like a tiny little worm

(23:30):
like and they go in there andthey just poke holes in your belly and
they just kind of clip it andpull it out. They did a little
camera work. Yeah, that's whywhen they get inflamed, they're so outrageous.
They get to be the size oflike a softball in there, and
like you said, it looks likea little worm. But then it fills
with blood and it blows up.That's where you get the pain. Ever
gets to be the size of asoftball, could be a golf ball.
No, when it fills up withblood, it expands. That's why the

(23:52):
that's why you have appendicitis. Wewell, yeah, because it's there's too
much fecal matter in there. Butis it? I mean, I know
it's close to your colon, butshouldn't doctors know the difference. I don't
think they would know the difference.And at the end of your colon or
something. Way do you hear thisbecause there's another sports ball involved. It
was horrifying. I was suffering froma leaking colon that created sepsis infection and

(24:15):
I almost died from it. Asfor the follow up from the surgeon,
she seemed to just make light ofit, and that upset me. Piano
tells me he had to go throughfour additional surgeries, needed an iliostomy bag,
and had an open wound the sizeof a pool ball in his abdomen
for months an open wound the sizeof a pool ball while dealing with intense

(24:37):
pain. The Pianos tell me theydidn't want to file the lawsuit, but
getting no response from the hospital,they felt it was necessary. I feel
very lucky that I'm still alive.Somebody needed to be put a stop to
this and take responsibility and say thishappened, we need to take steps to
make sure it doesn't happen again.Wow, So what are we awarding this

(24:57):
guy in the thirteen page law SUITISPI hold on, I'm showing you a
picture. They took video and picturesof my sons of Williams appendix removing it.
Now that's it's inflamed, and that'stiny, and that's the little clippers
just cutting it. Okay, itlooks like the worm they put into uh
Scotty's ear and the wrath of Copseneractually just looks like I'm going I'm going

(25:18):
high on this. Because my motherhad sepsis and they had to clean her
out with eight two liter bottles ofsaline solution. Good Lord, that's how
she survived from having the perforation inher intestine. So I'm going way up
on this because this is life threateningstuff. This is I mean seven eight
figures, right, we got tobe seven easy. I mean, I'm

(25:40):
going like three four million. Andthe recovery this guy had to do to
get one thousand dollars, she specificto him, she let nine thousand dollars
a joke, eighty two thousand dollars, eighty two thousand dollars for having this
happened, an open wound the sizeof a pool ball in his abdomen for
months. Oh my god, thatwas done. What the moment of the

(26:03):
day On one hundred point seven wc LX, when are they going to
announce a concert tour? That's whatI want to know. Likeston's only classic
rock Morning show with the Stones,one hundred point seven w z X,
eight twenty five on this Tuesday.I think that our generation is the new
generation of q is a QVC?Was that the home shopping Remember when people

(26:27):
used to watch that for hours andall of a sudden their homes would be
filled with things and we'd be like, how are you so foolish? Like
why do you have fifteen Princess Dianaplates all over your Have you turned it
on recently? Is it still there? Oh? QVC is still there.
I'm not sure about the Home ShoppingNetwork, but I have no idea.
Yeah, they're out there, yeah, only crack. We remember what's his

(26:48):
name, the sausage guy. Yeah, remember he went with went on Dave
the sausage guy went on QVC solda bunch of his so I thought he
was kidding. It was really QBCwowthroat to get on that, by the
way, Yeah, to get yourproduct on there. Yeah, well I
didn't even know you did food onthere. So I'm I'm starting to think

(27:10):
we are the new foolish generation andour QVC is social media and Instagram or
Twitter in some cases Facebook TikTok,and I don't dislike it, I guess
is my problem. I am notturned off by the advertisements for products that
appear on social media. For instance, for you two, I have something

(27:36):
in the queue that I saw onInstagram that I want to get you for
Christmas. I'm not telling you whatit is, and it is amazing.
I think that's the problem. It'slike QVC. It's like I've bought things
from social media that have been acomplete waste. I tried buying these beautiful
like they were shirts. I gotone from a friend and for myself they

(27:59):
were horrible. Their their quality wasjust insanely poor. I've also bought shoes
that I've loved that I've seen onsocial media. Yeah, it can go
either way, but nothing stops mefrom making these purchases Like I there are
these like pop out like you know, you know the wood toys where you
you pop it out and then youmake things out of the There are these

(28:21):
guns like they look like little oldfashioned revolvers that you can make a little
out of the what is the popout wood stuff called member wood? And
then I might get that for Williamfor Christmas. I'm all in so am
I the new lunatic? Am I? Well? I must be included in
your generation because last year's Christmas giftfor Kevin was bought from a Twitter ad.

(28:45):
You remember the Remember the money gunI got him? I love that
thing. He loved that thing.It shot dollar bills out. Yeah,
little money gun. I got thatoff the Twitter ad. I've got I've
got all the gifts for everybody inmy life. Life lined up via social
media right now now, I alsowill tell you, okay, I ordered

(29:06):
the two sided tape you know,like to put up pictures. Is that
alien tape? Well, brother inlaw had some of that. He raised
about it. That's the brand stuff. But I got mine off a Twitter
ad. And then like the nextweek, I got a little Pikachu type
squeeze toy, you know, likea little Pokemon, like a Pokemon doll

(29:26):
wrapped in plastic and I got itfrom China. And I'm convinced it was
from ordering something off of those Twitterads. Oh, because they how are
they getting my address? Right?I've also ordered things that have never shown
up, like I've ordered them andit seemed too good to be true and
it was. And then I probablyam going to change a credit card soon

(29:47):
in the sense that I ordered somethingthat was a brand name and I was
like, why is it twenty fivepercent of its normal price? I'm taking
a chance like a moron. Andthat was like six months ago, and
it was China, and I knowthat it's not happening, and I knew
it wasn't happening as I put allthe information in, but I thought,
WHOA, if there's a chance I'mgoing to take it. And it was

(30:11):
a foolish move. So I feellike i'd be the QVC person at this
point. Yeah. I mean theywould stop running those ads if enough people
weren't buying stuff. So people werebuying stuff off those social ads. My
wife had bought some clothes and likeit was the same thing Pete, like,
all of a sudden, randomly,within a few weeks after she had
got the stuff that she'd ordered,which was very cheap quality and didn't fit.

(30:33):
Yeah, she started to get regularlyand this was like a national story.
She regularly was getting these random thingsshe didn't order, like cell phone
cases, children's toys. Yeah,oh we didn't return it. I'm like,
no, that's going to cost usmoney to return it. We were
throwing the stuff away. I wasjust glad that little doll that I got
from China wasn't filled with like youknow, anthrax, and like all the

(30:55):
instructions that you know, any kindof a receipt that was with it was
all in Chinese, so we didn'tknow what it's said or how to return
it. And you couldn't even readlike where the address was, and they're
all targeted to the things that youlook at anyway, except in your case,
your wife was getting like if youjust look at mine, Like I
just pulled up Instagram and the firstthing was this dog toy where you wrap
treats up and stuff it in aball, and blah blah blah blah.

(31:18):
You can tell the kind of searchingI do or the things I like based
on the targeted ads. Yeah,right, and also based on what my
family looks at, because I'm notlooking at weapons on any social radia.
Those are picked for your searches exactly, or my kids searches, or you
just have to talk about it nowin your phone social media. We have

(31:41):
that going for which is nice.Here at eight thirty, hey, coming
up at a forty classic rock clash. We'll get you in to see Bosh
at the Peapacks. It's Pete McKenzie, I'm Kenny Young and Heather Ford stepping

we're going to talk to Tim seethe person that's going to be in our
Timmy Timmy. All right, Sobefore before the twenty seventh of October,

(32:09):
on the twenty sixth, I thinkKevin had done some questions or Pete had
done some questions and it was allwith parentheses. Oh yeah those are my
yeah, the parentheses yes. AndKenny was like whatever song titles. Yeah,
He's like, what are you goingto do next? Lots? And
I was like yes. So Ihad a very simple set of five questions

(32:31):
set for that Friday, and weall know that that Friday did not happen,
so I'm not going to waste them. And I thought, you know,
there, it's a it's a goodconcept metal umlots. I love it.
Yeah? Is that? No,it's the two dots over Okay,
changes the pronunciation of things, right, but most of the time in metal,

(32:52):

seeing it now, you're all gettingit now. Spinal tap they made.
That was their joke. They hadthe to the umla the two dots over

(33:35):

and you're gonna tell me if theyhave a metal umlat over there any of
the letters in their names. Okay, it's just yes or no, all
right, Tim, Blue Oyster Cultyes, yes, bon Jovi, no,
they do not. Motley Crue yes, yes, two of them,

(34:00):
Queen's Reich yes, Motorhead yes yes. My favorite story that five out of
five. My favorite story about thisname is that Motley Crue like they didn't
understand that it actually had a function, and they would were always concerned when
they would go to Germany. Whythe crowds were chanting Muttley Krau. That's

(34:22):
great because they had put the wewere two letters fantastic Motley Motley. Listen

Uh, that would be a weekfrom tonight. You're going to the
Pea Pac down in Providence for Bush, Yes, now, and Bush does

(34:45):
line. I got to get someinflammation from you here. Meanwhile, as
we continue here at eight forty five, keep in mind the winning ways continue
as we'll have your next shot.You're first of thirteen today to grab a
thousand bucks with the thousand dollars bribecoming up at nine ten this morning.
This is Boston's classic rock with someFloyd. It's Kady Young, Pete McKenzie,
heather Ford and uh mister Ohio overhere. Yes, sir, no

(35:08):
I brought this up back around thetime of the WTF where we've seen a
growing number of Ohio man incidents.Uh huh. It's like they're making a
strong push in the Great Midwest tosomehow rival there's southern counterparts in Florida with
dumb crimes. Well, can Itell you that this story you're about to

(35:29):
do comes from the very same townKevin and I started our radio careers.
Get out, I swear to God. Can you pronounce itame of it?
All right? Is it first capitalof Ohio? Chillicock, chilli cough,
chili lack coffee, Chili coffee,chili coffee, Ohio. Yeah. Well,

(35:49):
the local law enforcement is seeking thepublic's help. You know that's good
when you hear that. Yeah,we got a serial exposer on our hands.
This guy's been going to uh inone in particular. There might be
other ones involved, but he's beengoing into dollar general stores and exposing himself
and you know, making Apparently Chilicothiehas caught up with the cameras in the

(36:10):
store thing. Apparently not. He'sstill being labeled an unidentified male in his
twenties who saw a woman pursuing beautyitems the first time she went down to
look at something on a lower shelf, and when she turned her head,
she discovered the man pantiless next toher at eye level, with many unidentified
male staring her back in the face. I do love the fact that you're

(36:35):
always surprised by stuff like that.But I don't have enough fingers on my
hands to tell you how many timesI've been at a store, grocery,
any sort of store, I've gottendown to look at something at the bottom
and someone has squeezed up next tome, not with their privates out,
but close enough so that they're gettinga real they're getting turned on by me

(36:58):
turning around seeing them and then standingback up to eye level where my face
has to pass their thighs, theirmiddle yeah, and then their yeah.
That's when you take your bottle ofjuice and you go whoopsie days a woman,
you're usually you're just trying. Youjust want to leave, you want
to be safe. But it happensa lot where they pretend they're looking at

(37:21):
something. And I'll be honest,the first few times it happened to me,
I didn't know it was on purpose. I was young, you know,
maybe eighteen nineteen twenty, so theywere that casual about it. No,
it's just you don't as a person. I just didn't expect them.
I wasn't expecting weird sexual things tohappen in a store. Yeah, it
had. It had everything to doIt wasn't how casual they were. It

(37:43):
had everything to do with my expectationsof my shopping. My expectations were go
in, find something, leave.What I didn't realize was go in,
find something. Man sees me,walks up real close. I turn around,
get up. He's there. Youcan't avoid the creep, can you.
No? It was hard for women. It'ssi I mean honestly, because
it's you're not as pretty as youget older. As you get older,
it doesn't happen as much. Notthat it doesn't happen at all, but

(38:06):
I mean when I was eighteen nineteentwenty all through my twenties. Yeah,
that was pretty consistent. Now hearingthat more and more from my daughter down
in DC, Like, she won'tgo into stores now if she just sees
somebody suspicious in the park, becauseI've had her ears up and her eyes
open all around her head for somany years. Yeah, she's taking it
to heart. So Yeah, soshe'll call Doug and say, you're gonna

(38:27):
have to stop and get this becausethis creep's hanging out in the barky line,
not smart, not really where Iwant to be terrible that she has
to deal with that. One quickthing I can tell you about Chilicothee when
Kevin and I worked there, wedid these. We did appearances at what
they called the Automile in chilicothe wouldn'tmuch like we have one down in Norwood.
Yeah, and we would do tendollars for ten dollars. We'd be

(38:49):
paying ten dollars an hour to doappearances for these dealerships. This is in
the eighties. Yeah, at theend, at the end of every break
on the radio, we'd have tosay this broadcasting live from the cheer got
the autoball And you still remembers,that's right, but just real quick,

(39:15):
by the way, on a ona related dollar store situation. We mentioned
this before we got on the showtoday, but with Dollar General, dollar
Tree, there's all these dollar stores. How are they all staying in business?
And by that I mean like inmy town, there there's two different
one street right right at the industry, right across from each other. Yeah,

(39:36):
just understand, they're fully stocked,fully staffed. You've been to a
you've been on a road where therehas been a grocery store on either side
of the road, right, andpeople, yeah, dun dunks on either
side. So people look at dollarstores, a lot of them are Dollar
Generals or whatever they're called, thesame way. They buy all their stuff
there right right, and so theypick their favorite. And but I'm like
they're doing it like some people mustbe strictly in the corner of Dollar Tree

(40:00):
and they're like, oh, wedon't go to those general people. And
then vice versa. Maybe the dollof General people are like, you know,
think they're all high and mighty McDonald'sburger king. Yeah, I don't
know. I think they're fronts,to be honest with you, they're fronts
for something. I watched an fOzark. I know the eight fifty five
on this Tuesday morning here at ZelekBoston's classic rock one hundred point seven w

(40:21):
z LX. No goldfish were harmedin the playing of that track. There
were like seventeen goldfish harmed in themaking of that video. The video the
video to Faith No More's epic wereat the very end. Yeah, the
fish is just flopping the smashed goldfishbowl. It's just dying. And that
was only one. They had somany, right, they got to do
retakes, right, she says.The woman whose fish it was made a

(40:45):
statement. She had to come outand say, uh, was this really
Byork. Byork confirmed the rumor inan interview that said, I know those
guys in Faith No More. Theywouldn't have done anything to harm my fish.
But I know if I had gonehome with my fish, which was
given to me, none of thiswould have ever happened. So apparently,
yeah, a B York, thatsinger, yeah singer, Yeah, the

(41:06):
swan right, Apparently that was herfish. Okay, I don't believe anything
B York says, So I stillthink that was a She does dress like
a swan. Yeah, nine thirtyseven degrees While you're doing research on faith
no more. I was dabbling aroundsome research myself gang that includes uh,
state foods. Did you with Thanksgivingcoming up? Did you realize, first

(41:30):
of all, Massachusetts has one ofthe most number of state foods. Oh,
we have a lot of time truein our state house. Apparently we
like to put a lot of things. Remember it was like check cookies and
there's like all sorts of things,like we have a state dog. We
wanted a state band. We've gotthe state pie, which is Boston Cream
Boston. We have state chowder forstate mammals, including the dog. Yeah.

(41:54):
The other one, right, whaleor a hump ag. Yeah,
there's a whale, a horse,a dog, and a cat. So
but the reason you know the Thanksgivingconnection is how many state foods are Thanksgiving
kind of related. Turkey, theturkey and cranberries, a lot of bogs,

(42:15):
corn bread. I've seen that ona Thanksgiving table. Oh yeah,
So this group of girls at theNorwood High School has decided we need to
state ice cream. So immediately I'mthinking, because of my taste, I
love caramel, so I'm thinking ofit, and I think caramel fits Massachusetts.

(42:36):
I like Rocky Road that is carameland it doesn't everything. Yeah,
I leaned towards the O G,which is probably cookies and cream like your
Oreo cookie, okay, or eitherthat or like mint chocolate chip. Used
to get that from yours. Thatwas Timmy mcvay's final meal. That's all
I remember about mink. That's whenI stopped eating it. He just ordered
one half gallon of mint chocolate chipice cream is his final meal. I

(43:00):
wonder if my wife got word ofthat, because she's the loveman chocolate chip
ice cream and like all of asudden doesn't anymore. Yeah. Oh,
I ated pretty heavy until the latenineties, early two thousand. Let's see
where these girls quest leads them here. Well, we noticed that there was
a state dog flower and muffin.There was no state ice from flavor.
Did she say there's a state muffinmuffin. Yeah, corn muffin, Oh,

(43:21):
Cataldo said. After lots of researchand surveys, one stood out.
Cookies and creamer is not only theoverall top seller amongst distributors in Massachusetts,
was also the top flavor in oursurvice. Okay, wow, cookies and
graves. We've got time in herlife to develop the delivery. She does,
she does. She's just a kid. She's black. Yeah, her

(43:43):
delivery. The other student working onthe project, Tito Brotzis, said,
twenty twenty three is the fiftieth anniversaryof the mix in. What she says
was made here in Massachusetts. We'rehere today because we're passionate about this and
wanting to see it through to theend. Is that like the cold creamery?
Is that the one that does themix ins where they put like eminemies
the platter and they scoop it aroundwith Yeah, that's that was like before

(44:06):
the blizzard, had the blizzard themix in around here, like you know,
ice cream shops would have that.She mentioned the flower, the state
flower, which I thought was curious. It's the mayflower. Is the state
flower? I look it up.It was a fake flower, but it
looks like a pansy, So it'strue, the mayflower. Yeah, it
looks like a little pantsy. Allright. So what are we feeling about
that? Cookies and cream? Yeah, I'm okay with it, But I

(44:29):
like caramel, like a lot ofcaramel. Okay, but I'll never choose
cookies and cream, Like, I'dnever choose it unless it was the only
option. I wouldn't be sad aboutit. It does. It makes sense.
It wouldn't be something like you waswas where you guys grew up,
was sure a bit a big deal. Was my favorite. It was around
here. My grandparents always had arainbow. But I worked at a chocolate

(44:52):
store. I never liked sugar.I worked at a chocolate store and we
also sold ice cream, and soyou were allowed to make as much ice
cream as you wanted to fill thecup by the end of the day,
right, So I would always fillit with Sherbert Suberboys orange rainbow, rainbow.
Always chase the rainbow. Baby,Just give me caramel syrup and port

(45:12):
right down my throat on any icecream. Well I can, I can
caramel, not a beverage. Andthen and then Kenny will film it,
and I will let people watch youwith caramel flowing down your throat and choke
on it. It's a good time. If you need a little extra scratch
for all that camel that you're goingto be buying. I remember we just
had our first thousand dollars bribe atnine ten. Your next shot of the

(45:35):
grand coming up at ten ten.Need I remind you? Final week of
a thousand dollars Bride one hundred pointseven w ZLX, Boston's only classic rock
mornings show, Pete and Kenzie HeatherForward Kenny Young with you Geddy Lee saying
he's not against getting back into astudio with guitarist Alex Lifson. It's not
sure whether they're gonna call it rush. How do you do that without Neil
Peart in the fold? But hesays, yeah, he's been in contact

(45:57):
with Alex and the Omlas all kindsof stuff. Meanwhile, in just four
days, that man is going tobe in our Orpheum theater reading from his
new book, My f in Life. Yeah, why is it? He
being introduced by Carter Allen. Yeah, when we were giving tickets away for
that, and we gave away aton for that. It's said in like
the you know the fine print withspecial guests to be named later. Right,

(46:21):
there's some sort of guest host that'sgoing to be there with Carter.
Carter, Yeah, Cot is goodwith books, understand it, right?
And Pete you're good with money,right sort of? I mean last night
I had a bonus bet from DraftKings. You know they offered those once in
a while. I had no costto you. That's right. So I
threw a ten dollars bonus bet onthe Denver Broncos last night. No,

(46:43):
yeah, cashing whole nine dollars,came back and beat the bills, didn't
they better than you know, depletingyour bank roll. I built my bank
roll a little bit, of course, mister money man. Celtics won last
night. Bruins played a night againstthe Sabers. Yeah, yeah, the
money, money, money is flowingright. You got Mega millions and powerball.
Now I'll get back up there.We have our little team effort going.

(47:06):
I put us back in because itgot over two hundred million dollars.
Hey, while I think about it, Kevin's numbers in there, while I've
got some cash, pete here,so Barber would be the benefituar coming in
hot. Oh okay, take itnow, because take it now. I
remember the last time I threw intothe pool. So I always play two
drawings. So it's like sixteen bucks. That's forget me on a rare day
where I actually have some cash inmy wallet. Nice, nice, I

(47:29):
like it. So yeah, there, don't see that. Tonight's drawing is
mega millions of two hundred and fortyfive million. I could live off the
powerball checks in tomorrow with two hundredand fifty five million dollar jack Did you
see this story? Out of it? And it's always fun to say this.
Kalamazoo, Michigan. Kalamazoo, thesixty seven year old who has chosen

(47:50):
to remain anonymous for obvious reasons.I'm about to declare, had bought in
tickets and he didn't realize these ticketshe had been buying. He was automatically
in during extra entries into a secondchance drawing. I think some of our
local there's some state they do secondchance drawing. If you don't hit that,
but you keep buying tickets still automatically, Like I think that's what scratch

(48:12):
tickets though, is that I couldbe wrong, but I thought you had
to turn mail in your shit tomail Amalu right, scratch tickets to be
in a sell. This had yeah, this had to do a tickets.
It was called the big Cash secondchance giveaway jackpot. So this guy gets
he gets an email from the MichiganState Lottery saying, yeah, you won
over four hundred and sixteen thousand dollarsalmost half a million dollars. He had

(48:35):
no idea he was even entered intothis thing. Was it printed like a
scam? Though, well, here'sthe thing, like all of us have
seen we have yeah, you knowright, give me your bank account information
and I'll transfer this money into youraccount. Maybe so he thoughts it's a
scam. So it took like twoor three times of the Michigan State Lottery
to get through to this guy tosay no, no, you're the winner,

(48:57):
like they for real. I thinkthey were this close to sending over
the prize patroler, the prize patrolwith the balloons and the flowers, and
they were that close to doing it. Scam, he said. He buys
tickets. He plays games online alot. He said he had no idea
he was earning entries. You mustnot have a thing like we do the
fine mass money dot com find mishmoney dot com. Money, see what

(49:22):
happens. It makes sense. Youknow what I still haven't figured out is
I use that app, the jackpocketapp, to buy tickets because sometimes I
forget to stop on my way home. Yeah, you know what I mean.
You're good about it. You alwaysremember it's on the way, car
wash, lottery tickets, gas.Yeah, but I still haven't figured out,
Like if I do hit, let'ssay it's something big on that Jackpocket

(49:43):
app, Like, how do Icollect through the app? There's gotta be
something, there's a record of it. I get an invoice number if it's
over six hundred bucks. When Ibuy tickets, Yeah, I get an
invoice number. Like I hit foreight bucks on one last week and it
just went into like my jackpocket account. Yeah, that type of thing.
So I just bought more tickets.Right, Well, hopefully you get to
find out what happens when you win. You're at six center find out.

(50:05):
Until then, you just keep waiting. Well until then, you could play
much better odds because Carter Allen asyour next thousand dollars bribe. But ten
ten, look at that for asegue, little golf cloud, okay,
gol all right, all right.He's also going to be going commercial free
