(00:00):
Let's do this fast and you seethumps. I wake up every morning Boston's
only classic rock morning show. Ilook at myself at the mirror and I
go, maybe I'm dreaming. MaybeI'm a week dreaming. I'm asleep with
Pete McKenzie. I'm still vomit beforeevery show at Ford until dirty and unsatisfied.
And Kenny, let's get crazy.In other words, I'm crazy.

(00:25):
On one point seven. I wantyou to go hard, fast, heavy,
get to it. Here's to thefuture. Will you see lex comment
in Hodgs on a Wednesday, butyou got like a hum day going on?
Kenny Young with you here five pointthirty on the nose. I just
wanted to point out there your jobhere is simply to create, preferably three

(00:48):
or four things before Sunday. Andif anything you come up with becomes a
original, well, there's upward movement. Oh we like upward movements. Nice
big fan of upward movement. Man, that bit is cool. Ranking Yeah,
it's a it's going to rattle yourcage right there by the way.
I did not record this music.Oh you didn't. I mean I didn't
play the guitar on this track,although you could. Yeah, probably could

(01:11):
have. Yeah, maybe you shouldfor the next time to think about.
Yeah, I mean if you wantedto put more work on your plate,
maybe the spring twenty twenty four editions. Yeah, that is the lovely and
talented Heather Forward. Hey guys,we're here today because we're passionate about this
and wanting to see it there tothe end. Yes, we are so
passionate. I wrote that myself feelit losing out of us. Yeah,

(01:33):
the passion is there is that.What vomit is is vomit passion. Did
you vomit again before the show?I was Yeah, it's a first.
I didn't vomit today. I vomitedyesterday the day before. I'm making small
baby vomits ould still not quite ourselveshave their endpeat the canzie? Got anything
warm and comforting? My mother inlaw is lack dating? I'll have a

(01:56):
beer. Yeah that's impossible, becausedo you have any think warm and comforting?
Got anything warm and comforting? Mymother in law is lac dating?
O'h have it beer alternative? Ilike to like to think about my daughter's
mother in law lactating. That's interesting. Thanks for putting that in my head.
Kenny. There you go or anybody'smother in law really lactating. Yeah,

(02:20):
hey, we didn't get a governmentshut down. It's good we avoided
that. Was that today? Wellthey I guess they did whatever they had
to do to not have a governmentshut down for the holidays, which I
was talking to somebody yesterday who worksfor the government, and they were preparing
to lay off one hundred workers rightright at the holidays. It's not fun.

(02:42):
That'd be nice. So we're gooduntil early now next Christmas. Here's
no job. Why do we haveall these government shut down deadlines? There's
another one like early next year,I think as they're in denial about the
debt that we owe all over theworld. Yeah, that's just how it's
set up. Usually, it justit's not a problem. Seems like more
often than not, though we havegovernments shut down deadlines. Well, you
only think about it more when there'slike Republicans and Democrats have like equal share

(03:07):
of different things House Senate kind ofthing, which is pretty close right now,
No, No, what I mean, Well, one's democratic, one's
Republican run right, So, butif they were both Republican run, I
don't think there would be a problem. And if they're both I'm just I'm
just happy for the non furloughs forthe holidays. That's that's good for government
workers. And you know, peoplegetting checks in the mail from the government.

(03:29):
I guess that's kind of important.And my sister and my brother in
law, he's a lieutenant colonel.Yeah, everybody works for the DACHA government
benefits the government pay rather. Yeah. So six one seven three one one
seven is the number you need toknow throughout the day. And if you'd
like to send us a talk back, we have that feature on the iHeartRadio
app, a little red microphone.There got some good ones over the last

(03:50):
few days. Keep them coming.You just click on that red microphone,
leave a voice message and send iton through. And of course the text
board is open WZX and your messagesend it to seven oh four seven.
Oh well, I'd just like topoint out on my right end this morning.
You know, I have this lovelylittle drive. After I leave my
driveway, I cross over into arural area where there's a farm down the

(04:12):
street. There's some very vacant landwith power lines, and so I take
this little route for a good halfmile before I get on the main road
that takes me to the highway,and usually the only thing I see in
that area is some animals, soI always have my bright are dead or
possum, no live animals, coyote, fox, deer, possum, you
name it, right, So I'malways kind of on the alert. When

(04:34):
I entered this one little corridor ofrural woodland right just it's short, but
I always know I'm going to seean animal or something. Today I did
not see an animal. What Isaw was very unique, and I just
it raised so many questions. Ihope there was nothing alive. Okay,
there was a pair of underpants skillfullyhung between two tree branches right on the

(04:57):
side of the road like a banner. Yeah, like a banner. Well,
here's the thing. They they weren'ta thong, they weren't bikini,
they weren't brief so they were bloomers. They were granny panties. Granny panties,
big ones. They were big ones. I think of ruffles. These
weren't like ruffled. These were justbig. These are like the elastic waistband

(05:19):
big. I mean, I'm talkingsome big booty mama, like maybe a
Kardashian side bigs. Just a teenagerfound them and it was like, this
will be fun. That's what Ihad to think about. Like, there's
no shoulder right there to pull over, so somebody had to have seen them
on the ground or whatever. Andthen they were hung up found And it

(05:40):
wasn't like they blew in the airand got hung up in the tree sideways.
Yeah no, no, no,they were like hung like they were
drying. Yeah, right, wellmaybe they were. That's that's like leaning
a hubcap up against the tree.You know, when you find one popped
off laying flat, don't you dothat? Come grab it. I don't
see hub caps anymore, right,not too often, though, I mean
too often. I don't. Justlike somebody hanging up the underwear in case

(06:00):
somebody lost them. Right, here'syour panties them bloomber still see you know,
discarded shoes and the occasional like hator something, but but underwear.
Did you see when you guys gotoff the ramp today right before the mall,
did you at the first light?You know, we go through two
lights and they're always green or redtogether, so you're never stopping at one

(06:21):
and then the next. But Iwas a red light at the first light.
I looked. I don't know Ijust look left and there's a tree,
one solo tree in that island area, and there was a giant lawn
chair like six seven feet up,fold it up, no open. It
was like the ones with those likerubber bands that go along the bottom and
the side, like a little bitof old school, just sitting perfectly wedged

(06:46):
in the branches like not that itflew up there. I don't remember recall
seeing anybody there begging for money,but they might be during the afternoons.
That could be Gray second shift,second shift, second shift, because the
guy that's usually asking for money thereis right before you head onto the ninety
three correct, right by the bridgefor the underpath, right by that long

(07:10):
light. Yes, so I meanin this chair would be they would need
to be for people heading towards Wellington. I don't know. I just I
just looked over and chair weirded outby how not weirded out I was.
I know I didn't see that chairbecause I had a green light as I
came out, all right, yeahyou need a red What if it was
the same person that held up theunderwear in the tree, I care if

(07:33):
they're related. I can't. Ijust looked at it. And it wasn't
like I had a startled feeling orI just like, yep, there's this
is where I am. Now,yep, there's a chair, perfectly normal.
Yeah. Life. And then Istarted to run through all the possible
reasons why a chair would be ina tree, and it all made sense
to me. Well, it giveslife. Rioty that does you have underwear

(07:54):
and chairs? Sure? I meanas opposed to hats and dead animals stuff.
Yeah, I mean it's it's different. Two more squished bunnies. Now,
yeah, I do caucus for presidentflag or something like that. That
would be strange. Sorry they saidthat John Carrey sign. You guys don't
take the expressway, but southbound Dorchesterthere was a carry for president that was
on the back of one of thosedouble deckers until maybe twenty sixteen, twenty

(08:20):
fifteen. It was just there.No, I think that house got and
it might have been even later thathouse got renovated. A lot of those
homes right along the expressway. Look, fancy, this is this is no
joke for the bit. The otherday I was at a traffic light and
somebody had a bush Cheney bumper stickerstill on their car. Well, Bush
Cheney. Yeah, you don't havethat many old cars around here. H

(08:43):
on some bumpers too. I seea lot of Berniees, you know,
a lot of supers, Yeah,a lot of Bernie Sanders. So if
you wanted to know what like we'regoing to be talking about today, I'm
not going to tell you that now, but I will tell you that apparently,
And I'm going to do it nowbecause I feel like less kids are
listening, and I feel like thisis a kid's people are still pointing freaking
lasers at pilots flying in and outof Logan and it's not middle of the

(09:07):
night, right, Well, theseare the ones that they reported recently.
The four that they reported recently areall after five o'clock in the morning,
five forty am. The you know, world's moving by block for thirty Now,
Hey, do you remember the lasttime Heather was out and I covered
headlines, I talked about this verything. Yes, it was. It
was like five point thirty in themorning, right, and they were still

(09:28):
doing it. I was like,well, you wonder if they're now.
They said they must be doing iton purpose because it's heading right into their
eyes, right, But who,I mean, why why? Yeah?
What's what's the motive was like,I can see accident, Like we have
a little laser that you like,am I make the dog chase in my
house because he's dumb? He's apug, right, so and you just

(09:48):
chase it all around. I'm like, oh, what if I accidentally those
are great with cats too. I'msure they are all dumb animals. Yes,
I don't think cats are dumb.I just think, you know,
all animals are dumb. Yeah,I know. So if I accidentally pointed
it out the window, I wouldn'tbe aiming it at a plane. Right.

(10:09):
We talked about it being teenagers smokingweed. You know, just doing
is so repetitive. This is likeright right, so I'm doing it now
just in case. I don't wantto give teenagers ideas. But it doesn't
seem like this is a teenagery kindof thing. It seems like someone who's
on their back porch or in theirfront yard, sitting on their whatever front

(10:31):
steps. Are you just near theairport? Yeah, it's got to be
like Winthrop or something. It's gotto be like one of the you know
what I mean? Right underneath it'sthe landing someone East Boston. It keeps
happening some something, someone who's angryabout the tunnel always being close this morning.
Really, yeah, I want topoint it in one way out.
They need lasers over there for somemore winter. It's some one of those

(10:52):
places I've only been to once.I don't and I don't even remember what
work related reason we were there.I don't really blame them, yeah,
for anything, but anyway, pleasestop. They're isolated, That's why I'm
blaming. Also causes injuries to thepilot's eyes, which I'm sure you guys
talk about too, So please stop. Don't not that I mean you might
be listening. It's five forty oneright now. These usually happen right around

(11:15):
now. To play some Pink Floyd. Yeah, and if you don't want
to go to point some Lakers studiogreat z Lex weather, that'll add some
excitement. Please don't point lasers inour studio. By the way, sunny
with highs around fifty same for tomorrow, but warmer highs around sixty thirty six
degrees in Boston. I'm Heather Fordon one hundred point seven double u z
Lex, Boston's only classic rock morningcho one hundred points in w z LX

(11:43):
Kitty Young, Heather Ford, PeteMcKenzie five forty six on this Wednesday morning,
and if you stayed up last night, boy right, yeah, man,
there's nothing like another fast start forthe Bruins and another victory on this
young season at twelve one and twoto just take the sting and that bad

(12:07):
taste of the Patriots out of yourmouth. Am I right? No?
No, that'll always be there,can I just can't get rid of that.
It's just there. But coming offthe loss to the Canadians, you
know, yeah, not losing twoin a row yet and dominating the Buffalo
Sabers on their home ice, Ilove it. Five goals, five different

(12:30):
players, five different players. Yeah, I think ten different players got at
least one point lest Yeah, ifyou think about that, with assists and
everything. First two goals, Imean, I'm not looking for a president's
coup. No, I don't wantthat. I don't want that. Yeah.
It's a curse. Is it's justit is a curse. Yeah,
Well they weren't cursed out of thegates last night. First two goals came
kind of bang bang. Here here'sJack Edwards nessing on the call live The

(12:52):
Holmes Drive scores in the high slotpossucks cross ice pass from suckers strike twice.
Yeah, they came early and often. Oh yeah, I think by
the time I went to bed itwas five to one. Well the second

(13:15):
period. I okay, it's sosexy. How's that young kid doing though,
Patra, Yeah, oh he's up. He's among the leaders in points,
he is with goals and assistance.You called number fifty one. Yeah,
I love that kid. Lasteen yearsold. Last week, speaking of
the young ands, we were introducedto Mason Lowry or Lowri, who's also
like I'm calling him Opie from now. He's six four, but yeah,

(13:39):
he got his full crap. Didyou did you want a T shirt?
Didn't you say you wanted to makea T shirt for the young kid?
Oh god, yeah, remember,I mean you and I can't remember anything
right now. No, when youdo, remember, we should talk about.
Yeah, I had something to dowith potty you got you got potty
trained. That's it. That's whatit was. That would be agreed.

(14:00):
When he scores a goal, youhold that sign up. You got body
trained like a black and gold likeT shirt, you know, yeah back
right, sure, yeah, likesmall toilet you know how those catch they
catch fire from us. I see, I always get confused with compound,
fracture and contusions. Contusions are abruise on your bone, yes, right,

(14:22):
But when I see the word confusion, I always think compound. I
don't know why. I once hada contusion on my cocksix. You have
to move through it. It's verypainful, but you have to keep moving.
Like I remember Carter had a contusionand he was on crushes and I
kept thinking, you should be walkingon it. He tripped on a log,
remember, which is the last thingI'd expect him to do exactly,

(14:45):
but he does a lot of that. Not the woodsman, you'd think he
was right, But a flannel shirtwearing guys, So, I mean it's
in there somewhere, spends answer andhe kept saying, I got a confusion,
and I'm thinking, you guys arewalking on that dudet Well, Kristaps
pours ingis has a knee contusion.Oh no, is that questionable for tonight?
But they you know, like yousaid, no, like you said,
got to keep them on, injured, I keep them on. It's

(15:07):
got foot problems and I can onlyimagine being you know, seven feet tall.
What kind of foot problems you have? But three feet? I know,
right, Yeah, So he's listedhis question all tonight. But game
for the Celtics tonight at Philly andthey lost by three the last time they
played them, and they're the oneteam that's had them in the East.
But it's so early. You feelthe same way about them that you felt

(15:28):
a way felt the same way aboutthe Bruins. And I felt this way
after the Patriots had that perfect season. You just you want them to be
good enough and know that they canwin the whole thing, but you don't
want the pressure of being either thetop or winning that was it the President's
Cup in MLS, it's the SupporterShield. The Revs won the Supporter Shield.
They had the best record ever that'sever had in MLS and then they

(15:50):
went out in the first round.Yes, just like there's so much pressure
with that. I almost feel likeit seems like a curse. Do really
well, Like everybody knows you're you'rereally good, but not so good that
everybody's thinking about, which has beenmy motto in life. I think we
have already real point on the Bruinshere. I don't know if Belichick has

(16:12):
infiltrated the locker room. But CharlieMcAvoy fresh off you know, Saturday was
his first game back after the suspension. You should have heard him last night
after the game. He sounded likeBelichick and what he said, as I
said again, this team is twelveone and two so far in the season,
here's what he had to say.Yeah, I mean we started on
time, so we got to lead, but we got to work on playing
sixty minutes there, so that's somethingto uh, you know, so like

(16:36):
he won five to two better gamefor the majority of this game, but
there's still pockets where where we gotto get better. So, you know,
a lot to just just keep growingour game. It's early in the
year and we're in a great spotstanding wise, but we know that we're
can be better. We know wecan be better. Yeah, that's three
three phases of the game. I'msurprised he didn't mention that. Looking looking
back, because we always talk aboutBelichick's you know, like postgame conference or

(17:00):
postgame what's the word press, Wow, I can't remember words, and we
talk about how all the players arelike doing what he does. Thinking back
was Brady monotone and weird during hispost games or was he like just Tom
Brady. No, he was animated. Yeah, yeah, right, and
now that we know it was him, that was when he lost crazy and

(17:21):
when he lost he was more monotone, you know. But yeah, but
he was receptive to the press,not like Brady, you're right, and
not like Tom Brady. Yeah,so don't be like Belichick. He like
Brady, like in your in yourpost game? Was keeping the hight down?
I guess twelve one and two.And on the subject of coaching,
Jim Montgomery is now at a pointthat no Bruins coach in history has ever

(17:45):
been listened to this. No,we just decided we don't want this.
Right, since Jim Montgomery took overthe squad, he is seventy seven,
thirteen and seven in his Bruins coachingcareer. Man Brady numbers right there on
home field. Yeah, that's nuts. Mac Jones has already lost thirteen games

(18:07):
in three romes. How many howmany playoffs Serie wins his Montgomery coach the
Bruins too, that'd be zero.Yeah, I was looking for the cricket
sound effect real quick. Five twoin this Wednesday morning. Is it even
thirty degrees yet? There was anothericy one leaving the driveway here this morning
at ZLFTP and the HB ladies andgentlemen for you right there. Wow.

(18:30):
Yeah. Yeah. See if weabbreviate things, we get to things a
lot faster, Like more underwear stories. You know, I let off the
show with the fair pair of bloomershanging from a tree. I might drive
in this morning, you did.Yeah, this one's about Patrick Mahomes.
And you know this is not anew story. These athletes have superstitions,

(18:52):
and Patrick Mahomes talks about what hislucky charm happens to be. Oh,
I love a good superstitive. Butyou know, couldn't you just do something
like eating the same free game mealthat have to do? The red underwear,
well red underwear for the Chiefs,you know, the first my wife
Britney got him for me, soI had to. I'm not not throwing
y'all down, but I have towear them, you know. But uh,

(19:12):
at the same time I threw himon that first season. We had
a pretty good season that season.I only wear him for game day though,
so I can't get They're not tooworn down, They're not like he's
like nasty and I clean up them, wash them. I do. I
watched him. I watched him everyonce in a while. Every once in
a while. What is it?I mean, if we're if we're on

(19:33):
a hot streak, I can't watchthem, you know, like I got
to just keep him, keep itrolling. So uh, you know one
was I'm winning football games. I'llkeep the superstition going. Oh wonder what
Mac Jones's superstition might be. Youthink I don't think he has enough?
Yeah, would he have one?I like apple turnovers and cherry turnovers?
Football, big, big turnover guy. I thought when you were talking about

(19:57):
my homes and red Or, Ionly heard the word underwear before. I
thought we were going to talk about. Wasn't there like a Taylor Swift and
then Mahomes's wife skims controversy. Idon't even know what it is. I
just saw a headline, you know, the body shaping stuff you wear under
your clothes. There was like anunder armor thanks sand Banks, like spanks,

(20:18):
but it's called skims because I thinkit's the Kim Kardashian brand. And
I was just wondering. I thoughtthat's what you guys were about to talk
about. Ladies undergarments. I didn'tknow we were going to go straight to
red underwear. Well, I didn'thave any garment superstitions, but I did
have one superstition in baseball in highschool. We had a really good team.
We won our conference and all that, but we lost in the state

(20:41):
tournament early. But my superstition wasto use the same rosin bag as a
picture. So you know, that'sjust it's what is that just chalk?
It's a sock full of rosin thatgives you a better grip on the baseball.
I don't know what it is.I think it's like a talcum or
something. Right, what makes so? I had that in my equipment bag,

(21:03):
right, and I bring I bringthat home and my mom finds it,
okay, And she didn't say anythingto me. She goes right to
my dad. She didn't know whatit was. She says, I think
Peter's doing drugs. She thought itwas cocaine, a white bag. No,
she didn't. My dad did,My dad, my brother did,
but my mom never did. Shenever saw you play baseball. I don't

(21:26):
think so. Are you kidding me? I swear I had the offer with
my family. I'm telling you.My mom rarely leaves the house and when
she does, she gets lost.But she didn't go to your baseball game?
What did your brother play? What'ssports? He played football? Did
go to his basketball? No?Maybe a football game or two. Wow.
Yeah, but that's only because itwas a Friday night. My dad

(21:48):
never went to any of our games, both my brothers, myself. The
baseball games were all like three thirtyfour o'clock in the afternoon on we get
there. Yeah, but it didbe harder for leaving a house. Do
you understand? You know, I'mjust saying my dad didn't see any of
our stuff unless it was a nighttimeperformance. Right, But my mom went
to all of our afternoon went toeverything. Right. I can't love my

(22:12):
mom less for that. No,No, just her personality, That's what
I'm saying. Your mom loves you. Yeah, I mean she loves you
totally. And I'm and she andI'm just surprised that she didn't do that
never bothered me because other moms werethere. Yeah. Yeah, what's coming

(22:34):
up? Well, I have astory that's made Kenny so excited. He
started sending gifts to us or giftsor gifts like at three thirty in the
morning. So I was wide awakeabout to step in the shower when I
saw your text. What what couldmake Kenny that excited? Yeah? Into
that next? Well, we're hereat Sex twelve from the Planet Fitness you

(22:55):
see Alex Studios. Now than formaking us part of your headlines with Heather
break story on one point seven WCLXBoston. You're on the edge of your
seats. What could possibly make Kennyyou go nuts in the middle of the
night. I'm just kidding, butI mean, really though, what could
make him send out a funny giftin the middle of the evening? The

(23:18):
headline on wb Z that I sawthis morning and I could not know.
My husband is a metal fan,like when I met him, as am
I as as you are, Yes, but he has like certain bands and
people that he falls back on.And when I say metal, I mean
like hardcore, like hereat like he'sthe kind of guy who will listen to

(23:38):
things that to me and when wefirst started dating didn't even quite sound like
music. Like he's you know,into it so and the guttural vocals that
go along with it, all ofthat stuff and he and he loves ACDC
too, like he remembers going deafduring concerts in Germany in the early eighties
or early to mid eighties. Soanyway, there are three bands that are

(24:00):
kind of funny that he likes.Like, first of all, he loves
Pink, which I think that's soit. Every time she's so funny he
goes, he goes, I loveher, and I go, me too,
So we have that. You Toois one of his favorite bands,
Like he's seen them live more thanalmost any other band, right, which
is borderline rock. It's pop rock. They're rock and roll, but they're

(24:21):
not like like I mean this is. He is the kind of guy that
doesn't like any new Metallica, Likehe's like Ride the Lightning, Justice for
All you know. So the otherone that he loves, and this is
his favorite favorite is Prince Ah andI mean like he loves Prince He can
sing almost every Prince song, whichis uncomfortable for me to listen to because

(24:45):
he does not look like the kindof guy who should be singing anything.
Oh, he loves Purple Rain RaspberryBret Like he's like, you know them,
all of them. So Princess PuffyPurple Rain sh is being auctioned off.
Oh, here in Boston. There'sa whole medley of print screams.

(25:11):
Online. You can play every goalhe's deceased, every instrument, right.
I like his guitar playing not somuch, screaming not as much so.
One of the highlights of the auctionis the white ruffled shirt worn by him
during the nineteen eighty five American MusicAwards performance of the song Purple Rain.
It's estimated value did you guys look? I saw the headline, but I

(25:33):
didn't see the details. It's notout of my I'm not gonna buy it
because it's definitely gonna go up.And this would be it's more affordable than
you thought that. It is definitelyit's not affordable, but it's more affordable
than I thought. You like that, like i'd have to sell a car.
Uh huh, all right, I'mgonna go fifty grand, Okay,
okay, yeah, I'll go seventyfive. The value is at fifteen thousand

(25:56):
dollars. Oh geez, yeah,I know it's gettable. That's a small
sedan. Also up for auction isthe Under the Cherry Moon nineteen eighty six
films during Prince Something from that aswell an outfit that here wore like a
full outfit. Yeah, more thanthe shirt h forty. I wonder if
the Prince estate has any of hisassless chaps that he wore over the years.

(26:19):
He had such a tiny no,I mean like he was a little
tiny person with a little tiny Heineye. Can you imagine that the holes would
look like the elbow holes for likewomen's shirts for his Yeah. I remember
being at the Yeah, the Rockand Roll Hall of Fame had a little
stage outfit and I do mean little, like it was about the same size

(26:41):
as Stevie Nix's uh stage customs,and they had it in a glass case
with like on a mannequin, youknow, And I was it was a
children's mannequin. I'll go small itis, I know, my wife,

he's a twenty seven twenty eight hispants size, Oh that's long legs

(27:03):
the end for his age, andthat waist size and those pants aren't long
enough like he needs he needs slightlylonger pants now. But his waist with
a belt four holes in is atwenty seven now the elder four. It
is almost my height, so ishe Gonnaw, he might grow a little
more. But his waist is athirty because I hit my he's around like

(27:27):
fourteen forty. Yeah. Well Ihope Bobby does. That's the youngest one.
I hope he hits a growth spurdy, yeah, because he's about my
height now, and he's always beenthe tenth percent isle in height. So
you know, it's really unusual tohave a waist size that's smaller than the
pant length. I know your husbandprobably has that too. If he's a
thirty, yes, if he's athirty inch waist, well, no,
this is my son, Williams thirtywaist. Yeah, I was gonna say,

(27:49):
man, John's thirty four thirty six, Yeah, that's that's not the
norm. Oh it's eight thirty.Waist is usually longer than the legs.
Yeah, yeaheah yeah around yeah.Yeah. Well they all have tiny little
hips, the men in my family. Little hips. They're not birthing yips.
Yes, I was blessed with those, thankfully to be the person that

(28:14):
birthed yes. So anyway, goodluck to all of us out there.
The auction ends tomorrow, maybe maybemaybe John will get a Prince ruffled shirt
that he can't wear four Christmases.My buddy Vic is probably a rival Prince
fan to your husband John, becauseyeah, he's he's a rocker and he's
a metal guy too, but heloves Isn't weird that he's from Minnesota?

(28:36):
Isn't it just funny that these likehardcore guys also love like Pink and Princes?
It doesn't It never fit right withme? But yeah, good for
them, right, Zelex? Weathersunny with highs around fifty same for tomorrow,
but warmer with highs around sixty thirtysix degrees. In Boston, I'm
heather Ford on one hundred point sevendouble z Lex. You know, despite

(28:56):
being a fan favorite, they almostnever performed that song live during that whole
day. Isn't that weird? Boston'sclassic rock one hundred point seven w ZLX.
It wasn't. What's the answer.It wasn't until the seven reunion show
where Zepplin performed ramble On from startto finish. It was so difficult to
play or I don't understand it.It's just the strangest thing. Ramble On

(29:18):
was one of those tracks I mean, some recorded tunes are tougher to play
live because they're so intricate recorded,you know, all the multi track that
one not so much. I mean, yeah, there's some overdubs. But
Living Love and Made was another onethat they never performed live during their hey
day. Yeah, they did Heartbreaker, but they wouldn't do Live in Love
and Made. It was strange,a whole lot of love. It was
probably there encore staple. Yeah,sometimes that thing would stretch out like twenty

(29:42):
minutes. Sure. I would liketo talk about another British entity, and
that's Beatles. But uh, notthe Beatles in the sense that you think
I'm talking about them. I'm nottalking about the Beatles. We're talking about
uh Denmark indle. Because Heather hateswe're talking about bugs, don't go there.

(30:02):
It's estimated that as many as eightyfive percent of all species on our
planet are still not formally named anddescribed. Well, they found a new
beetle. Yeah, they are thehorrors that live in my mind. Let's
take it to Copenhagen, Denmark.Six newly discovered named species of beetle,
called the Longcovilius Carlsbergie, named afterthe famous Denmark beer institution, Carlsberg beer,

(30:29):
which is delicious. Okay, yesit is. It is good.
But this beetle in particular, rememberthe can collectors wanting that one. Oh
yeah, I remember a big tallgreen Now, yeah, exactly, this
beetle that they've recently named and dubbed, and I'm sure Carlsberg is very proud
of this sports a uniquely shaped phallis. That's right, it's it's a penis
resembles a bottle open. Bugs havewiers, beetle penis bugs? They do?

(30:56):
Bugs have wiers, Yeah, somedo. Some do your ear,
Heather, just adding they're they're they'rescrewing your ears, just adding to the
horror that's already created in my mindor your belly button. You know,
you are saying to yourselves, Well, how do you think they procreate?
I don't think about how bugs becomemore bugs? But I for some reason

(31:18):
thought that wieners were okay, wellwith the shell, I'm thinking they hump
like turtles. You know what Imean that m Yeah, But remember that
this one in particular caught the eyeof the researchers and the scientists that quote
unquote discovered it. The male sexualorgan on this beetle is shaped remarkably like

(31:40):
one of those flat key ring bottleopeners. Yeah. So they said there's
no definitive explanation as to why thisin particular and why it's somebody's job to
look at beetles, yeah and saythis one's different than the other beetle penises
we've seen. Well, because they'rescientists, right, so it's blowing.

(32:00):
We're being pranked, right, it'scommunity's mind right now. I'm just still
let me may may I have onthe table or they just they just it,
yeah, and then eat it up. They do, don't they they
do? Yes, since you broughtup beatles, Kenny, may I make
a recommendation as go say, forNetflix? Okay, uh, there it's

(32:22):
a it's recently added. It's aten part series. I believe it's called
Life on Our Planet, all right, and it's uh narrated by Morgan Freeman.
Okay, yeah, the documentary andnow that's even Oh it's tremendous.
And you bring up beetles. Sobeatles insects in general once ruled the planet,

(32:43):
you know, three hundred and fiftymillion years ago. So yeah,
so there was a beetle that theypointed out that could run. Don't know
it was it was. It wasthe size of a human. I'm not
even joking, Please, don't wasthe size of a human. This beetle
could run one thousand kilometers an hour. That's how fast it was. I'm

(33:07):
not Canadian, but that sounds.That's what Morgan Freeman told me. Here's
another one. I didn't want thefirst one. I didn't want to know
the bugs had wieners. Real quick, how many insects do you think there
are on the planet right now?Per person? A billion? So so
one person represents how many insects abillion? One point four billion. Yeah,

(33:28):
it's like grains of sand and see, and now you don't have to
wonder why they scare me. Huheverywhere, Kenny, You'll love it Life
on our planet? Is that onBabi's Netflix? Yeah, I'm writing that
down right now here at six thirtyeight. And I'll tell you what.
We got some breaks of sunshine today? Are we going to see fifties today
in your messag? Nice tomorrow onFriday? I think I like that.

(33:51):
We'll get into it next God,said Roses. One hundred points of w
zl Axis, Boston's only classic rockMorning Show Heather Ford, Pete McKenzie.
I'm Kenny Young, and yeah,what a perfect song to get into this
story that fistfight almost ensued in aSenate subcommittee hearing. How many little rooms
do you think they have in theirsubcommittees? Was a small room like you

(34:12):
see these every once in a while, Like do they have like us where
there's like two or three conference roomsand you got to rent them out and
not rent them out, but signthem out for the day, like or
do they just have an unlimited amountof spaces. I'm more interested in how
many arguments escalate to the point wheretwo people want to fight, like physically
fight. That's why that's the onlyreason than we think. Yeah, but

(34:34):
I don't know if it happens betweenlike a senator and a person they're questioning,
might happen like back hallways where they'relike hey yeah or maybe not.
I don't know. But this wasso public, Yeah, you wouldn't think
it happened. When when this startedto go all over the news and social
yesterday, I thought it was ajoke and then I was like, oh
man, this is real, Andwho's a refereeers? Who I can't do

(34:58):
with Bernie Sanders. But you yourealize that that man was from Bernie less
the story Breefe. He was acurudgeon at twelve years old, right,
like he had gray hair. Thenwhat was he like when he was younger?
Like this, like this, Iwould like to trade my bologney sandwich
for your with the crust cut off. Like he's never changed. So,

(35:21):
yeah, he was there. Berniewas in the house. But Sean O'Brien,
who's a Medford native and president ofthe Teamsters Union, was in capital
was on Capitol Hill to answer questionsabout their ongoing many tales of the tape
on these two. Well, here'sthe funny thing. I didn't realize this,
but the beef that he had withand what's the guy's name from Waen
And Wayne's not his last name.His first name is Mark Wayne m A

(35:45):
r K like Billy w U Ay n E one would all one would
and the Wayne is not capitalized.So his name is Mark Wayne Mark Wayne
Mullen a representative of Oklahoma for theGOP. So he was up by asking
the questions. So this beef theyhad goes back to June when they were
exchanging tweets in which this mullin markWayne was a former MMA fighter, well

(36:09):
not professionally, professionally like he wasin a bunch of like I know people
who were in MMA fights and oneof them is going to be in his
first professional fight this weekend, butlike, yeah he was, No,
he was just in Oklahoma, saysMMA skills like Bobby does the brass on
this guy back in the back.In June, he publicly challenged Sean O'Brien,

(36:30):
president Teamster's Union, to have amatch for charity. And by the
way, I don't know how theteamsters roll in Oklahoma, pee you lived
there for a while, But myassumption of teamsters grow having grown up on
the East Coast New York, Massachusetts, is that you don't become the president
with your glad handing and you're shakingin the hands. You become the president
because you might have had to punchyour way to get there. I felt

(36:52):
like you're a badass or whatever.Guy's a badass and maybe people in the
rest of the country don't have thatsame impression. But I'm not fighting them.
No, I'm not fighting them.These two have had beef all summer
on Twitter, one of them sayingthis Mullins has little little man syndrome and
this type of thing. So thingshave escalated. So finally they're in the

(37:15):
same room together and Mark Wayne,we get this joy. Mark Wayne starts
to question Sean O'Brien and because hewas called being not self made and all
this, so here's Mullen getting intoit and then all hell's are popping like
he's self made. Sorry, Iwish you was in the truck with me
when I was building my plumbing companymyself and my wife is running the office,

(37:37):
because I should remember working pretty hard. Can I just say that if
it's a plumbing company, he's listedas being worth seventy six million dollars?
Good? The Senator, Well,how many senators and congress MONI are worth
that much money. No, that'snot That's not what I'm saying. What
I'm saying is I never I've nevermet a plumber worth seventy six million dollars

(38:00):
probably partunds, like he's self made. What a clown? Fraud always has
been, always will be. Quitthe tough guy act and the Senate hearings.
You know where to find me anyplace anytime, cowboy. Here we
go. Wow. So that wasa tweet that he was reading that Sean

(38:20):
O'Brien wrote about him. All right, yes, so he's calling him out.
John O'Brien makes seventy six million dollarsA right, Sorry, this is
a time. This is a placeyou want to run your mouth. We
can be too consenting adults. Wecan finish it here. This is the
Senate hearing. The senators weren't thatmuch. I don't even know what he
does for a living. That's whathe's doing here. I couldn't tell you.

(38:42):
But yeah, here's one company.No, no, no, that's
this is where the confusion starts.Now I feel like an idiot. The
plumbing company. That's the teamster.He's a plumber. Oh, I thought
it was Mullin. Mullin was readingthe tweet from the other guy about how
they were going to fight. Yeah, but Mullin was saying how he worked
as a plumber in his office.It took twenty years. Yeah, I
thought he was reading a tweet fromthe Mark Mullen is the plumber. He

(39:07):
took over his dad's business and Istill don't know how he made that much
money. Here's where it gets heated. Okay, that's fun. Perfect you
want it now. I'd love todo it right now. We'll shane your
butt up down, you stand you, but we'll stop it, so,
oh no, sit down. Here'sBernie put okay, you know your United
States Saturday? Okay, I'll putdown? Please? All right? Can

(39:28):
I respond? All it? Holdit? If we can't know, I
have no, I'm sorry. Thisis all that he said. You'll have
your time, okay? Can Irespond? No? You can't? Is
a hearing. This is a hearing. But yeah, it just comes to
blows when they're reading tweets back andforth. And you want it now,
I'd love to do it right now. We'll shan your butt up, down,

(39:50):
you stand, you stand your buttup. Hey, I'm putting my
money on the guy from Medford bythe way. Yeah, I think so.
And I'm surprised that Bernie had enoughstrength to pick up the hammer and
smack it again. I don't knowwhat did you watch? You didn't have
enough strength to pick up I thoughthe was going to throw the gavels from
Bernie Sanders go up against Chuck Schumeror Bernie Sanders up against who else,

(40:14):
Mitch McConnell. That would be agood fight. So after your grumpy Uncle
Bernie got everything settled down for themeantime, they resumed questioning, and then
Sean O'Brien started starts again mocking Mullen. And this is after the fact,
that answer the questions? All right, you want if I he he made
a lot of statements, right,and his statements of fiction at best.

(40:37):
Section, Oh, answer the question, please, I can't understand him to
be honest with you. So herehere's that broken down again this section.
Answer the question, please, Ican't understand him to be honest with that.
He did that guy what I did, but I didn't at the same
time. Yeah, your timing washard to do. I'm so confused by

(41:00):
the because I don't follow these twoor I'm still confused by this old scenario
and is a c span on watchthough. So that's what I just about
this. You made all that moneyby selling his company. By the way,
I'm trying, I'm trying to figurethis this s show out. Yeah,
well, you know all these politiciansthey have they get the tips on
the investments. But how do yougo from being worth seven point three million

(41:21):
to seventy five seventy six million.That's crazy. If I was worth that
amount of money. I wouldn't bein the public spotlight. You'd never seen
I would like own a home onthe cape, and you never see me
be on my own island lottery moneysix fifty six here on this Wednesday morning,
thirty six degrees outside Boston's Classic Rockone hundred point seven w ZLX from
the Planet Fitness w CLX Studios,Horizon. Now, now, thanks for

(41:45):
making us part of your morning.People are idiots, great store, Thank
God on one point seven WLX,Boston. Excuse me while I mustle in
here for just a moment. Okay, show, Yeah, I have man,
let me put my man boots.All right, let's see what you

(42:05):
got. No, I just wantedto confront something that we talked about yesterday
on the show at this time,and that was the fact that delivery trucks
were parking in Heather's driveway. Well, yeah, eating lunch, eating lunch,
and when they could be parking nextto the lawn on the street.
You don't live in a busy neighborhood. I don't know why do they pull
in the drive It's a really nicetop of a driveway and it's out of

(42:28):
the way. It makes no sense, I know, they're trying to get
off the road, but they're blockingyour well because my house is the entrance
to the really nice place to live, right, So there's a main road
on one side of my house andthe entrance to the development is my front
yard. Yeah, so it isto be out of the way. I
can't imagine any delivery truck driver parkingin a private driveway to eat their lunch.

(42:51):
There's no way. I mean theyI don't know. So I circle
the block as often as many timesas I need to until they're gone.
I have a solution. Okay,because we talked about sign or something,
I want to do that. Howabout something like this. This is what
they did at a Taco Bell wherethere was too much loitering. It was

(43:12):
disrupting the drive through area. Sothey just put this up. Thanks for
visiting Taco Bell. This property isbeing monitored for guests safety and security.
Loitering is not allowed, and we'llbe alerted to law enforcement. I'm not
alerting anyone. I could put asign up that said, like a snarky
sign off to the side where onlythey would see it once they turn around,

(43:34):
that says, how's your lunch,how's your lunch. Do you need
a napkin? Yeah, I couldput like a little like sarcastic sign you're
a much better person than me,because if that was me, I would
pull up next to them in mytruck and just lean on the horn passive
aggressive. Part of the problem iswhere they park. I can't fully pull
into my driveway because I park inmy garage, so I actually can't get

(43:59):
to my rage where they're part.They're parked right at Pete. You probably
have an idea. I don't knowif Kenny you do. But when you
get to the top of my driveway, that's where it opens up. It's
like a spacious it's like a littlesoccer court footsal uh. But they park
right at the top, so Ican't actually all the way upway. They
go all the way up to alot of breads themselves. Man big balls.

(44:24):
By the way, it's not Igot an email. It's not my
mailman who I love. He does, he's too busy. When he gets
to my house. He's flying like, not in an illegal way or over
the speed limit, by the way, all the appropriate ways. But so
it's and that I don't know.They kind of block me. So I
so if I n the driveway,if I pull in my driveway, my

(44:46):
headlights would be facing theirs, andthen I would have to back out to
get them to back to pull outof my driveway. Does this makes sense?
Do I circle my my development untilthey're gone? Paid? One time
it took too long, so Ipulled up in front of my neighbor's yard
where the guy couldn't see me,and I just waited. I just waited.

(45:08):
That's an unusual situation. Well,I'm by myself, I'm a woman.
I just oh yeah, but I'mgoing to get I totally hear you
on that. You don't know whatyou're going to be running into. But
they are employed and they're you know, they have a lunch break right right,
they have to do anything stupid likethat. Oh, we get our
deliveries all of us all the time. Like twenty years ago, if you

(45:31):
would have told me every day whenI get home there'd be some boxes outside
of my door, I'd have beenlike, why what am I doing?
It is because I'm not going toa store. Yeah right, I'm having
there's dogs do now all the time? Yes, I just got a couple
of bags of dog food Chewy.Yeah, like Chewie and I are like
best friends, like three times aweek. They're delivering boxes are heavy though.

(45:53):
There's hey, I have two GreatDanes? How heavy do you think
my food box eating so well?Once they get bigger, not a lot,
but as they're growing, like ninecups and once they reach full size,
six yeah cups, I go,I got some Great Danes in my

(46:13):
house. You think those bice whenyou're getting nine cups? Hey, tell
those dogs not to skip leg day? All right, you tennis arm Have
you seen how tiny Great Dane legsare? That's the best part about them.
I mean, I have a fiftypound, fourteen week old dog right
now, so you you do themath on how much I'm feeding. So
the real story of the morning.Credit card skimmers have been found at market

(46:36):
Basket and Walmart. Now, bythe way, this is conquered New Hampshire,
but that's real close to us,and it could be us any day.
There's a ration of that at gasstations for a while there. Oh
yeah, oh, and so sothat's my question when I go to a
gas station now because of the newcard readers, you know, I have
to leave your card in to readthe chip and then pull it out,
which took me way too many timesto figure that one out, because remember,

(46:58):
for a while it was like putit in, pull it out real
fast, and then it was nowyou got to keep the card in there.
That transition apparently broke my brain.So but the card readers are different.
They're kind of bulky now. SoI actually sit for like maybe way
too many seconds and try to figureout out if it's official at gas stations?
Do you before you put the beforeI put my card, And I'm

(47:20):
like, is this a skimmer?Is this for real? Well, it's
got me checking it for sure.Yes. Now what do you notice about
these two guys that are putting skimmerson? Wearing their masks to cover their
identity, right, but their medicalmasks and we're all back to you.
You see that. I mean,I'm not back to wearing them, but
you see people wearing masks. It'snot unusual. It wouldn't stick out.
This one guy's got Fiji water inhis cart. You're thinking of yourself,

(47:42):
some little Fiji waters, not puttingcredit card skimmers. R he is.
They're all wearing like really nice jacketsand vests. I don't know, have
the scammers cracked the the tap,you know, because I do a lot
of that. Tat does that theycracked that tap? The scam tip the

(48:04):
tap just for a second, justto see how the card feels. You'll
like it, Yeah, exactly,just just wait for it. So I'm
you know, be aware. Everybodylooked down now markets markets. Everybody loves
the marketing. We go to thebaskets everybody, I think everybody goes out
of my way. But I gothere for some things. My main is

(48:25):
Big Why and everything else I goto for different things. You go to
that one in Sharon, the cornerof Root one in twenty seven, the
market basket, the Big Why.No, oh that's Walpole. Oh Wallpole.
Yeah right, I'm like Sharon.It didn't even click with me.
And they're right next to each other. Yeah, I go to the one
in Walpole, but I go tothe one in Franklin. Okay, yeah,
yeah. Now this is just anotherthing that we as consumers have to

(48:50):
look out for. Tapping. Apparentlythe did you just say the skimmers can't
read the tap tap the tippity test. Well, I'm asking I'm asking scammers,
the scammers. Have they cracked thatyet? Probably sheeze. I hope
not, yeah, because that's reallytough to know. Ze. Alex weather
sunny with highs around fifty same fortomorrow, but warmer highs in the sixties.
Well maybe just sixty thirty six degreesin Boston. I'm Heather Ford on
