(00:00):
Boston's only classic rock morning show,one hundred point seven w ZLX. It's
Keeddy Young, It's Pete McKenzie.It's have a faud on this Wednesday seven,
two thirty six degrees. I'm justgoing to tell you that the headline
on it was on the AP thismorning. It says truck driver performs Heimlich
on choking woman along Chicago Chicago AreaHighway. I'm going to show I showed

(00:20):
me this morning. This is thepicture of the man, all right.
Now. He is former, Idon't know, former or retired military,
so he's got it in him.But I'm thinking myself. So she he
describes it. He's on the sideof she's on the side of the road.
He's driving past. He sees herwith the universal you know, hands
on throat, I'm choking driving withher knees. Then yeah. Period.
Jeff Hannes, who pours concrete forthe company Ozinga, was at a job

(00:43):
site last Saturday off I fifty fivein bowling Brook when this unknown woman whose
face we've blurred, drove up tohis park truck. She raises her hands
towards her throat and that's the internationalsign for choking. So I asked,
are you choking? And she yousee that in the stands at Patriots games,
by the way, clearly said yes. So Hannahs performed the Heimlich maneuver,

(01:03):
thrusting once on her abdomen and thentwice, dislodging what was choking her.
That woman still in shock, returningto her vehicle, where hannah says
two toddlers were in the back.Then it hit me that if this would
have went wrong, it could havewent really really wrong. What if she
passed out and the vehicle flipped.Yeah, so I know how to do

(01:23):
the Heimlich. I know how todo. Uh. We don't do mount
to mouth anymore. We just dochest compressions for the others. For CPR.
We want to lead to something morethan dinner. You do most.
I mean, they tell you notto do mount to mouth anymore, to
keep just putting pressure on the heart. And I thought, the ruler.
Do you stick the ruler in thereto pull the tongue out they're choking on
it. I don't know. Iknow how to use that defibrillator, which

(01:44):
you two would also know how touse that. The AD machine. Yeah,
all the directions are on it.So I'm just I know how to
do these things. I'm just wonderingif someone pulled up to me and had
that sign, if I would beable to go like I know, I'd
try. Would you launch into actions? That's what you're saying. Well,
two things. One would I launchinto action? I'd like to think yes.

(02:05):
And two would I do it properly? Or would I just be breaking
ribs? Well, that's the thingabout the Heimlich maneuver. You got to
get when you get the training.Uh. Carlson and I both had the
training for the Heimlich maneuver. Andyou reach around and you pull up underneath
you know, underneath the sternum.Yep, you know which is that point
between the ribs? Oh? No, I know, get down there and
you I know underneath. But ina panic, would I perform it properly

(02:30):
or injure somebody? Further? Becomevery aware of the things I'm capable and
not capable of doing while panicking.Have you had training? Yeah, well
then you would you do it right? I'd do it right, I know
I would. I hope to.I had someone have a heart attack on
top of me while I was eatingdinner or breakfast at a restaurant. With
the kids, and the only reasonwhy I stopped them from continuing their fall

(02:52):
was because they were about to fallin a high chair filled with my child
ohn block I was. I sawthem start to get as they were approaching
down the walk, you know,to get out to pay. I noticed
it was a tiny little breakfast place. I noticed they were wobbling, and
then as they got closer, mykid was in one of those wooden high
chairs. Oh yeah, and that'swhat we kept in our house too.

(03:14):
So he's in there and the personstarts to collapse, and my husband's back
is to them, you can't seehim, and I just launched up and
like held them in the air.They would have but I think everybody was
like thankful that I stopped the personfrom hitting their head. But in my
mind, I stopped them from breakingmy child's neck, which is more important
for me immediate family. But thatreaction was based on my child. I

(03:38):
don't know. If William wasn't there, would I have stopped that person from
falling. I don't know. Idon't know either. It's a moral question,
but it's also I mean, Ithink the only formal training I've had
in that arena was in high schoolwhen they had the recessa anti doll we
all had to put our mouths onit and then wipe it with bleach,
so the next kid got bleach whenthey did it, and then we had
to do the chest compressions to stayin a lotf I remember that. Yeah,

(04:00):
yeah, even when I know that'sall you do. Yeah, just
the chest compressions, you know.Nineties when I was getting that training,
it was to stay in alive,which is weird. Yeah, I wonder
what song they're using. What songare you all using now? Is it
like Bruno Mars or something? Well? Did they anybody even know staying Alive?
Yeah? I think they do.Sure, my kids don't know staying
alive. If they're learning that song, well maybe they should maybe should learn.

(04:25):
I'll put that on my list ofthings I need to get to.
What sounds like staying alive? Idon't know if you can do anything fast.
No, I'm sure it's been sampledby now here in twenty twenty.
Don't make it heavy metal or ribswill be cracked. I hey, listen,
good news, bad news situation.This is the final week of the
thousand dollars bribe. I know,I know, after what seven weeks of

(04:46):
audition out thirteen grand every single weekday, we're in the final days of it,
the final payoffs. Yes, we'rebribing you to listen. It's all
perfectly legal. We ran a pastcorporate So nine to ten this morning will
be your first of thirteen opportunities tobecome a Here at ZLX kick it out.
Hey, just thank Metallica fans.Only two hundred and sixty one more
days until we get the Mitchellette Stadium, the m seventy two no repeat Weekend

(05:10):
World Tour. It's one hundred pointseven WZLX, Boston's only classic rock Kitty
Young Pete McKenzie had the faud.Hey, we were just talking about the
music involved that you should do forChess Compressions CPR. Yeah, well,
the question came up was staying alive. Does the younger generation know that song?

(05:30):
Right, Heather? Right, Well, I don't know if my kids
might know it from like a cartoon. Yeah, this is what you're supposed
to do for Chess Compression Madagascar,the cartoon Medagascar. That might be it.
That might be their only witnessing ofthat song. You know, ironically,
that record was released on this date. Forty six years ago today.
What wow, that's crazy. Wewere just talking about that. Well,

(05:54):
there are options for the one hundredtwenty beats per minute kind of song that
you need to say in your headwhen you're providing chest compressions to a victim.
So uh for to know. I'msure they know this one Baby,
Baby Baby doing it right now.It's the perfect that song. They actually

(06:18):
saved lives, that's what you're saying. And all it takes is ten seconds
of that song for it to bein the head of all our listeners for
the rest of the day. You'rewelcome. There you go. Now that's
stuck in your head as it isours. But every time it comes on
now, I'm going to do thiswith my hands. I'm going to do
I noticed that. How about LadyGaga, Oh, just dance, She's

(06:43):
got one. Let's see. Okay, it works. It's the beats per
minutent that's the key to the wholething, right, and a few classic
rock fans out there, American Womanby Tom Petty. It's the beat,
and so does another one Bites theDust. It so happens if you're trying

(07:04):
to say your life the song thathas it too, yeah, dot right,
and then tell them the saddest one, the saddest one, the saddest
one. No, I know,I wanted to avoid it completely because it's
Dancing Queen by an Abba, whichI think is way too slow us.
It's the same beats permitted as StayingAlive. It's I know, but it
strikes me as being a slow song, or maybe in my head it's a

(07:26):
slow song, but well, it'slike Bare Naked Ladies is one of the
songs. You know, are yougonna remember all the words to a bar
naked? No? Staying Alive?So easy, Staying Alive say, that's
all you gotta do is repeat stayingAlone and saying them out loud as you're
doing it right. Yeah. Oryou can put the baby Shark lyrics over
the stayin Alive beat if that worksfor you. Seven forty six. Here
this morning, what's going on withBoston's Holy Classic Rock Morning Show on onety

(07:51):
seven w ZX Fingers crossed, Fingerscrossed. There's no extraneous audio in the
background like yesterday is just so sharpe. Okay, you know, Kevin's not
messing with us today. I thinkwe're good, Okay, So I have
an inspection on the schedule today ateleven am. I just got a text

(08:11):
from the Greater Boston Is it Urology? Yeah, oh yeah, it's my
annual prostate exam. Oh I've toldyou this before because this is this is
going to be my fourth visit withthis guy. Remember I had the perfect
prostate. It was inspected twice inone of one. You know what,
Pete, don't remember things about yourprostate? Has in your prostate like been

(08:33):
published in medical journals? It shouldhave been, Apparently because you're colon,
doesn't that get good grades too?Well? You know, I haven't had
the colin looked at for quite afew years. What since Kevin and I
had ours done? Oh yeah,but you got a good great I got
a good gray. But I didhave some polems move but I probably should
go. Should go every three years. Three years supposed to be three years.

(08:54):
How long has it been a manof your stature? It's been at
least five or six since Kevin andI went, Oh my god, yeah,
and we just had our six yearI heeartniversary last week. So yeah,
seven right. I look at mymom, she's ninety two, she's
never had one done. She does. There's also Cola Guarden right, oh,

(09:16):
yeah, you could do that.I don't even know what that is.
That's for you poop in a box? Yeah, you mail it?
My wife did that? Yeah?Oh why did I say that? It's
so weird? Sorry? That couldbe a save your life song right there.
So what I look forward to?Uh, and I will walk into
the office with my phone on record. I always looked forward to the small

(09:39):
talk with this guy. Yeah,because you know what you're going in for.
He knows why you're there, that'swhat he does for a living day.
Forward to it. Well, sohe created They probably all do it
to it you. Does anybody everwalk into an examination with their pants down
already? No? No? Right, I mean there's gotta be some set

(10:01):
up small talk. Doctors have seeneverything though, like nurses have seen everything,
So why don't they just say pullyour pants down? Look, you
ready pull your pants? Because it'stoo it's an intrusive examination, so they
have to remove your trousers. How'sthings going? How you feeling as they're
unbuttoning your pants? Oh? Yeah, no, wow, says that A

(10:26):
reach around them at first Listen.I know it's life saving and we need
these medical professionals to do these kindsof inspections and examinations. I know that,
and I appreciate what they do.But I gotta wonder, at what
point in medical school does somebody lookin the mirror and go prostates, that's

(10:46):
what I gotta do. For others, it's feet which I could never get
into, nor could I get intothis area, right pedietry prostates? Yeah,
they colon necessary but curious, butthat's what you wanted to specialize.
Do they find out at some pointthat there's a shortage of these, you
know, as they're going through.This is where I'm going to make the
money, because everybody's gonna need it. It's going to be really important.

(11:09):
I think a lot of people dochoose parts of medical the medical field because
of that, Like how am Igoing to be the most employed? Right?
Yeah? Like it where's my longevity? Yeah? Right? Yeah,
so I'll obviously what we all thought. Did you have to prep for it
today? Because it's not like acolon oscar ba. It's funny, now,
I know, women don't go throughthe prostate exam, right, they

(11:31):
go through something a little different.I'm not even going to talk about it.
Yeah, so she they take apiece of us every time. Just
to give you an idea. Yeah, my wife did ask me, so
do you have to fast for that? And I'm like, oh no,
And I know what's running through hermind, like what's he going to find
when he when he goes in?Well, I'm sorry. I basically when
you bring out a woman, whenI get all think about what they do

(11:52):
to it? No, I know, yeah, so uh no prep for
that, right, and no bloodpressure check or anything like that. They's
just go in small talk, pullyour pants down, do this, get
out of here, yeah, justin time for lunch. And they don't
clip the peace off. It isthe most uncomfortable two seconds. Well,
I hope you treat yourself today.At least it's warm. You may need

(12:16):
a stiff drink after that today orbefore. Don't say stiff. Oh seven
fifty one here in this Wednesday morning, Hey, keep in mind, less
than an hour away we're clashing Classicrock Clash will get you into the Bush
show at the Providence Performing Arts Centercoming up eight forty here this morning on
ZL from a Planet Fitness, wCLX Studios, Horizon Sile. Now,

(12:37):
Now, thanks for making that partof your morning idiot. Great story,
ONEX boss. It's funny that whenI was asking you if you had the
song in my mind, it wasletter in a bottle and it doesn't matter.
Yeah, And You're like, youmean message in a bottle, huh?
And I was like, yeah,did you see? So I've never

(13:00):
thrown anything in a bottle and thrownit in the water ever. But when
I see these stories, I alwaysthink to myself, well, wouldn't that
be fantastic if it actually did takeyears and years? And so cebb this
morning, Sandwich, Massachusetts, afifth grader's message from twenty six years ago
was found in France. There wego. So doesn't this song kind of

(13:22):
sand is it? I think it'sa lament? Yes, it is.
So someone was on a beach inFrance and saw a letter from a Cape
Cot elementary school student. I mean, you've got to be in the right
place since nineteen ninety seven, yeah, because your bottle, because so that
child was a little it's now alittle older than that's twenty six years yeah,

(13:43):
yeah, yeah. So inside therewas a letter from October nineteen ninety
seven, written by then fifth graderBen Lyons. The bottle in its message
was part of a science project aboutocean currents, erosion, and climate change,
and all of those things have changedsince then. He now lives in
d C, but his parents stillare on the cape. So I just

(14:03):
that's that's like a good one.I feel like most of the bottles end
up. Like you ever see thosepictures where they show good for you that
it really is. You ever seethose pictures where there's like miles and miles
of like it's just a dump inthe middle of the ocean and it's just
all the garbage that can flow.Yeah, have you ever see that?
Oh? Yeah, Yeah, thecurrents have brought it together and it's moving

(14:24):
into the size of Rhode Island.It is one of the South Pacific one
of them is the size of RhodeIsland, right, still a dot on
the ocean, but still it's justcrazy land. My idea for that,
No, you gather all that upwith incredibly large nets and you'll launch it
into space. With all the othergarbage out there. Yeah, there's so

(14:46):
much, which we'll get into later. So so for all of you out
there, like, I'm gonna puta message in a bottle and I'm gonna
float it out. Good now,I'm assuming this was plastic and not glass.
I don't know. I mean,does I feel like a glass bottle
is more likely to you break onsomething well, or break on plastic would
last longer forever. Yeah, that'sthe whole point. So I just congratulations

(15:11):
to this. This is a timecapsule that worked right, right, because
we've talked in the past about peoplewho opened time capsules like the one at
West Point and they couldn't quite makeout what was in it, and it
was probably Roberty Lee as part ofthat, and and there's just mud or
people who open their time capsule toosoon. And Kevin used to complain about
it. If it's not one hundredyears, why you open your time capsule?

(15:33):
This is a message in a bottle. It's cool, it's different.
This guy is holding up This isthe French guy holding up the letter that
he pulled out of it. Iteven looks like a prop from a movie,
like it's crinkled on the side.And now he and friends, I'm
sure for life, Well they're dating, they're not Benjamin, You said,
a kid that wrote it is inDC. Does it say what he's doing

(15:56):
for a living? What does hedo? Now? Did he become like
a climate activist to to become like, oh, I don't know, or
is he like a male jiggles hewrites messages? Is he a male jig
Why does it have to be oneor the other in such a dramatic fashion.
Why can't he just be a teacher? You never know. I never
know which plant you're gonna go.Neither're working to save the planet or he's
working to make someone happy for money. A huge John Voight fan. I

(16:19):
don't know. Yeah, so Idon't know. I can find out,
but I probably won't because after I'mdone talking about this, I will promptly
forget about it. To be quitehonest with you, there's one a lesson
for everybody. I brought it upat five point thirty, and now that
all the kids are in school,at least the ones that could do this,
I can handle over tomorrow. Ohtomorrow. Oh yeah, So don't
listen to me if you're an handover. Is that they are having a

(16:41):
problem. And Kenny's brought it upon the air in the past when he's
done headlines. I've been bringing itup for years. I don't understand it,
but people pointing lasers at pilots thatare flying into Logan, and it's
happening the last three and they happenin succession quick. We're happening at five
point forty in the morning. Sobesides us and people in the five thirty

(17:02):
club who are going to work thatearly, who's awake, just sitting on
their front steps or their back patio, going, you know what I'm gonna
do today, I'm going to blindsome pilots who are flying into Logan.
Yes, with those kinds of laserbeams medlas, that's what they are,
the medlas. I just don't understanddriving down a street with a baseball bat
and knocking over mailboxes. Why forwhat? Mailox just to be destructive?

(17:25):
I think these people want to bedestructive. Well, that brings me to
the point of it, then,is the reason why I wasn't doing it
around school time. But I don'tI don't actually think these are kids.
The people who are breaking mailboxes don'ttend not to be forty five year old
guys hanging out with their buddies ortheir wife. Like their wife's like we're
coming back from a restaurant. Grabyour bat. We're gonna break some mailboxes.
It's usually kids, and lasers areusually like this kind of idea.

(17:48):
To me, it seems like akid thing, except for the five forty
in the morning part. Yeah,right, Like teenagers are up at that
hour honestly, I mean they mightbe, but they're definitely not doing that.
They're just stay awake from the nightbefore. Like what this seems would
South be a good spot for that, Boston, East Boston, Winthrop.
I mean, I don't know toget that kind of angle, I don't

(18:11):
know if the angle has to beactually not right near the landing area,
so it might not be East Bostonor Winthrop. And is it someone who's
mad about the summer and they're justlike, listen, you keep closing the
tunnel and I'm going to flash atyou. But you haven't heard of any
apprehensions or arrests, right, No, I mean that's been going on for
a couple of years now, right, It's been going on for as long

(18:32):
as we've had lasers, like peoplejust in their hands, and I can't
believe they can't track them somehow,you know. I mean, well they're
coming from exactly because they're blinding thepilots. So that's the problem. It's
not like one of us approach yeahyeah, taking out their camera to take
a picture. And so then whenI first started doing these stories, I

(18:55):
thought to myself, am I doingthis accidentally? When I'm flashing a laser
on the carpet in the wall ofmy house to make my dogs go crazy?
Because that's what I do. Imake them chase little laser lights.
Because I got one on a keychain. I'm like, oh, look at
this. I can't accidentally flash thatover my window in my house and blind
a pilot. I don't know.You don't know because you're moving it around

(19:17):
constantly. They're they're pointing at somethingspecific. Plus, don't you're moving around
the ground to make the dog chase? How big is their laser? That's
what I'm saying. So, mind'sthis tiny little hit? How big to
laser? Minds a tiny little keychain? Right? So? And it's
a little red dot. I feellike these are green? Are these green?
Green? They look at? Isthat just the picture they're showing us

(19:38):
some sort of commercial grade laser pointer? That you what? Is that?
Whatever? Commercial? Want me togo to Amazon and look? Yeah,
oh no, I don't want tobe tracked all of a sudden, They're
like, we got to hit it'sin Medford. I'm okay with searching porn
sites. Maybe maybe they're the laserpointers that like surveyors use, you know

(20:00):
what I mean. Maybe they're morecommercial grade to use that in this engineering
program at Trey County exactly as opposedto the key chain ones for pets,
because I don't think that one's goingaf far. That's what I'm asking.
Yeah, can I accidentally blind apilot while playing chase the laser light with
my dogs? My dumb dogs,who will chase it as long as I'm
flashing it upper walls? Oh mygod? So many what my Danes.

(20:23):
They'll chase a light reflection off ofmy watch for hours. That's how sad
they are. There's one on Amazonthe size of a bazooka. You want
to see it? Yeah, I'mjust kidding. Oh, they're all on
They're all small. Look at me. I'm like, yeah, I'd like
to see that. They're all tiny. Yeah, so I can accidentally blind
a pun grate? See lex weathersunny with highs around fifty, and I
have to rethink how I play withthe dogs. Same for tomorrow, but

(20:45):
warmer with highs around sixty thirty sixdegrees in Boston. I'm Heather Ford on
one hundred point seven Boston's a lateClassic Rock morning show. It's one hundred
point seven w z LX pete.I don't want to spoil it, but
I don't then, all right,all right, I'm not going to spoil
it, but I will say this. I just during that song, I
may have discovered your Christmas gift fortwenty twenty three. That's that's all I'm

(21:08):
gonna say. All right, we'llleave it at that. Why don't you
just wait for Richie Sambord to rejoin? That would be nice. There's there's
been some chatter. Ritchie has beenon some podcasts recently with it then,
and he's been saying it seems likeit's almost inevitable that that's going to happen.
Good, So we'll see what happens. At eight twelve, nearly eight

(21:30):
thirteen. Now, I want tobe accurate for the listeners. I'm Boston's
Classic Rock here on this Wednesday,already, the fifteenth of November. It's
just flying by at a break neckpace. Heather tell you this, it's
of November's of November. The fifteenthof every month is the eye, the
eye and payday. Oh, it'sa payday that this? Oh I like
where your head's at. But whatabout this classic rock? What's the moment

(21:57):
of the day on w CLX.Well, coming off the heels of your
airplane. Uh, story with thelaser pointers and it's still happening to these
pilots. I just ordered it,didn't It's in my basket. I haven't
ordered it yet. I'm getting one. Why for what? Because it's there
and I need I need to Iwant to point it at the stars,

(22:18):
going to point it out our spa. You want a lightsaber? But I'm
not going to order one, right, Okay, I just don't see a
practical use for it. Uh.Let's take it at JFK real quick.
There's a seven forty seven, acargo plane that leaves out of JFK on
its way to Belgium. It sendthe Brussels, I guess a bit of
a long trip. Shortly after takeoff, they had a situation where the pilot

(22:41):
had a call back to air trafficcontrol and request to return to the airport.
Let's take it away with the pilot. Here there are, we are
a cargo plane. We have liveanimal horse on board the airplane, and
the horse escape instead. The pilotcan't go back there and wrangling back and

(23:06):
somebody get a carrot. What ifit's a Mustang and it's wild horse.
They're not there's not a cargo ofwild horses in the bottom of this flight
to Belgium. Oh I can picture. Is this thing just running amok on
a plane back and forth trying tofind the mini bar on board. We
don't have a problem a flying life, but we need to retorn return back

(23:30):
to New York. We cannot getthe horse back secure. Well, it's
not going anywhere. If it's nota problem flying, the plane keeps flying.
Cargo planes, cargo planes don't typicallyfly with a wrangler, right,
because it's a cargo islet co pilot, navigator, nobody from Yellowstone on board.
I would have the co pilot goand at least try, can you

(23:52):
well, can you access that areaof your plane? I don't know they'd
have to, but I agree withthe other because the trip to Belgium is
long enough. Now you've got toturn around land and go again. The
pretty you know, that's a fancyhorse. That fancy horse will do what
you ask it to do, won'tit? Do you hear the poor pilot,
He's like, there's nothing wrong withthe plane. There's a horse loose.
Yeah, right, and I guessif we hit turbulence, that's bad

(24:12):
news, right, Yeah, Imean I don't want a horse. Yeah,
but wouldn't you try wouldn't you tryto get the horse back in the
area? And I have no uhhorse with horses and they scare me.
Yeah, but I would still try, right, so I didn't have to
turn it off. Yeah, youknow, I I think at the end
of the day here that this horsewas trying to outdo that guy that had

(24:33):
diarrhea on the flight through the aisle. Can you imagine the horse mess and
then well, you know the horsebooped in the cargo. No, it's
more solid, right, they're goingto have to horses, don't No,
it's yeah, that was done.What the moment of the day. We
date eight fifteen on one point sevenw c l X, Boston's only classic

(24:59):
rock morning show. It's one hundredpoint seven w z l X. It
is eight twenty three. I'm completelyready to go right now because I'm going
to the bathroom looking at horses goingto the bathroom. We're looking at.
Clydesdale was explaining the horse that wason it's it's spelled drought, but maybe
it's draft horse is the way it'spronounced. It's Belgium. My friend Brian's

(25:19):
texting me. He said they're abouttwo thousand pounds. You wouldn't want them
hitting the side of the plane.And I looked them up and they look
like they look like Clydesdale's Yeah giants. So just to follow up on that
one huge giant horses. That's aton. That's a ton, that's right,
Yeah, moving around a lot ofglue. That wouldn't make sense.

(25:41):
You wouldn't want that. It's justa lot. So I have a question.
And Pete and I were asking eachother this this morning, and maybe
you have an answer. So likeall on Facebook or it's mostly Facebook if
I'm looking for work or I don'thaven't see it as much on Instagram,
but some people will tell me notlooking for work, but look for your
job. Yeah yeah, yeah,yeah, I'm not looking forward or am

(26:03):
I I don't know. Things willpop up like so and so is interested
in and so it'll be like youknow how Kenny Chesney's coming to Gillette and
there's like a third show. It'llbe like so and so is interested in
Kenny Chesney and I'm like, whydo I care? You know what I
mean? And then it'll be andthen it'll pop up again like someone else
like so and so is also interestedin Kenny Chesney. Do you they have

(26:23):
to click on something for me toknow that they're interested? Why? Why
do they have to click on aninterest button? I don't I don't know.
I've never clicked interested on anything,So is this are people? So?
My question is are people clicking onthat not to tell me they're interested?
But are they clicking on it tosave it? You know how you

(26:44):
click on things on social media,not because you necessarily want to click on
it, but you want to rememberthat to come back to it. Like
almost bookmarket, Yeah, like bookmarket? Yeah? Is that what that crap
is? Because all I am isinundated with how many people are interested in
Kenny chess Sney right now? Yeah? Yeah? Plus the ones for so
and so responded to an event happeningin your area. Yeah, I'm so

(27:06):
tired of that. That's great thatthat person's going to do that, but
I don't need to know that they'regoing, I want to see here.
Yeah, I hear you. Showme your kid pictures, show me your
food for all I care, showme anything. But I don't want to
know that you're interested in an eventfrom two years from now or a year
from now or whatever. I don'tknow why, I don't know. It
annoys me. There's got to bea way to turn those notifications off.

(27:26):
Like on Facebook. Well, youknow, you realize my mom, Linda,
she doesn't understand, you know,when you click on a game or
anything and it says do you wantor allow or not allow certain things to
happen? Right? She never hitsdon't allow on anything. She doesn't know.
Oh yeah, and not only doesit inundate her, which I guess
she likes, so i'll, i'llshe's I'm friends with my mom on Facebook,

(27:49):
right yeah. And all of asudden, I see that Linda's got
fifteen thousand coins on whatever slot machinevideo game she's playing because she he's allowed
constant in It's constant. It's likeLinda did this, Linda did that,
Linda will share Linda and it's notanything about her life, not relevant to
you. It's relevant to Linda it'snot even really, it's all about a

(28:11):
fake slot game. Yeah, SoI don't want to so you know where
she stands with that. At leastyou don't have to talk to her about
that. I do. You knowwhere I do talk to her and I
say, Mom, please, forall that's good and holy, please get
control of the fact that you're tellingeverybody all of the things you're doing with

(28:32):
fake slot machine and how often you'replaying these games. She needs the word.
She needs to learn the word,don't she. Well, I'm gonna
I'm gonna show you. This isher feed from top to bottom. That's
it. That's all it is.App game. You think it's funny and
all it is? This is hilarious, man, God, what what?

(28:53):
Why are we seeing that? Like, I'm tired of it. I just
want can we go back to picturesof your family and pictures your food.
I'm going to piggyback that real quick. With the fact that I don't do
wordle my wife does, and friendsof ours do, but they send it
to each other, which I thinkyou do right well. My father,
my sister, my son, andmy brother we call ourselves wordlers, but

(29:14):
we just do it. Via Texteeon social media that I've wordled exactly.
But if you guys noticed, I'mstill calling it Twitter. I don't care
what Elon says about X. Yousee on like Twitter and on Facebook,
as you'll see daily, the littlewordle results ye people posted on and how
many chances it took them to getthe word right. Oh, news anchors
do it. I've seen news anchors. But I'm like, as something,

(29:34):
you're done with it. I'm Idon't need to see that. That's cool.
It's great that you're doing it.And like I said, you know
my wife and you guys you doit amongst friends and you text it like
that's fine. Yeah, you knowit's friendly competition. Yeah, but the
amount of useless information on social wehave to sift through. I just think
I'm interested in. I think that'sthe part that annoys me the most.

(29:55):
I'm interested in. I'm glad you'reinterested in going to a concert in a
year, But why do it mustbe a bookmark for like, because these
are people that I like and they'renormal. Yeah, it must right,
It's just a bookmark so they rememberto go to this concert or buy tickets
to it. I don't know.I don't know. How it works.

done. You're dumb with that.Yeah, I want to stay for a
record. This Saturday, my wifeand I are going to a new restaurant

We have them first week of Augustat Infinity Center. I think that
just went on sale. It's thesharp dressed simple Man tour. Their words,
not mine. I know it soundslike a clever quip of some sorts,
but it's a Katie Young, PeteMcKenzie, heather Ford and uh,

(34:37):
can we can we leave this atmospherefor just a little while? Can we
leave? Not for another hour?He'd asked if we could do our show
really fast and then leave for thesecond hand? Can we start it because
we were ready at like five fifteen. Can we start early so we can
go home or start home? ThenI said, yeah, let's do the
show really fast and leave halftime.Yes, we can't go home, but

(34:57):
we can we're going to space.We are going to SAP never space.
Just let you know, ever,I just want you to be aware.
If we didn't have enough to beconcerned with here, what with asteroids and
aliens coming through our atmosphere, toour threatened life on this planet. Somewhere
right now, I will let youknow hurdling more than two hundred miles above
the Earth surface at thousands and thousandsof miles per hour. Not just the

(35:22):
satellites and such, but no,there is a a one hundred thousand dollars
tool bag that's orbiting our Earth rightnow. And they're saying you might even
be able to spot it with adecent telescope or a really good pair of
binoculars if you know where to look. Aren't hammers, though, These are
like space tools, space tools,these wrenches. So spot it with a

(35:45):
telescope. Yeah, that's a bigtool bag. Yeah, Well, it
fell just far enough to where it'stoo far away from the ISS, the
space station where a rare all femalespacewalk took place the first week of November.
As some perform maintenance was being done, the tool bag inadvertently floated away

(36:06):
from the astronauts out of reach,and they had no kind of like grappling
mechanism or a space nest like peopleparts, Like, you're not doing anything,
you're tied just I'm assuming you're tiedto the Any video you see looks
slow. Yes, I've watched them, Matt Damon movie. I know that
it's dangerous to do things. Yeah, so they're worried about this. They

(36:28):
couldn't complete the maintenance that they hadto do because they needed these specialized too.
There, these aren't just fancy wrenches. No, it's not like charging
one hundred thousand dollars for a wrenchin a hammer out in space. Well,
if you kids put your toolbag toolsback where I could find them.
No, it's not like, yeah, Philip, it's a giant. The
bag must be the size of thistable. Well, if you can see

(36:49):
it with a telescope, he's gotto be pretty big. Being described as
a little bigger than a backpack,because they had to haul this thing tables
bigger than much bigger than a backyou're seeing that with a telescope. You
got out of her reach, andas it started to float down towards Earth,
it entered its orbit. So wemust be confused. As to how
powerful telescopes are in people's homes.Now. Yes, when I was a
kid, I could barely make outthe Moon through the telescope I was given.

(37:12):
Dude, I mean I just sawa Saturn through a telescope in a
backyard. But it was I mean, it wasn't one on a tripod.
It had a circular base. Itwas big. And I'm looking up at
sadder commercials, like commercial in likea year or two when Saturn is gonna
be at such an angle that it'sgoing to look like it has no rings.
Oh really, so then you'll haveto look to that telescope again.
Oh that's right, because it's tiltingright by the way. I did a

(37:36):
quick search on this story, Kenny, And uh, this is not the
first time a couple of astronauts havelost tool all of a sudden, A
bunch of women are their first allwoman spacewalk and they lose a tool bag.
Please tell me guys have lost toolbags too, See I told you
women. Well sorry, astronaut fromtwo thousand and eight named Heidi, listen,

(38:05):
Oh we have a lot of oneof my Oh you can hear great?
Yeah, yeah, we say yeah, we say it just another one

(38:27):
hundred thousand dollars. Specialized tools don'tgo anywhere. How often do astronauts lose
stuff in space? It happened fourtimes before Tanasa astronauts, okay, stop
dropping your space tools. Of course, this I thought was incredible. The
European Space Agency estimates that at anygiven time, aside from satellites and other

(38:53):
equipment up there that's vital to oursurvival, there are an estimated eleven thousand
tons of space objects at any giventime floating around Earth. It's space junk,
space junk like you have. Haveyou ever seen the cartoon Wally Wally,
Yeah, it's like cartoon. Ohyeah, Wally, it's a it's
a commercial. It's not commercial,it's a movie. It's a disney And

(39:13):
that's the basis of all of it. It's all that space junk. Like
give it, watch the first twentyminutes. That's all you need to do.
Yeah, and you'll be fine.For a lot of Wallely is floating
around up there. It doesn't needto be cleaned up because even if it
falls, most of it's burning upin the atmosphere. The problem is,
like the International Space Station, evensomething the size of a dime. If
it's space garbage and it's coming atthem, oh yeah, you can damage

(39:37):
its traveling. But now think,yeah, this bag is going to eventually
just evaporate in the atmosphere. Butnow is it it's metal? Are the
tools metal? Unless it's even themetals will thanks, Now we're gonna have
to dodge falling wrenches. I don'tknow. So now the problem is like
these you know, these astronauts upthere at the ISS, they need these

(39:58):
tools, they need the equipment formaintenance. They didn't even finish the job
they were doing. So now they'regonna have to send another rocket up there,
make more tools, make more tools, send them up. I told
you we should have been in thetool making business, astronaut. Instead we're
in the bribery business. Yes,this is the last week, final week
of the thousand dollars bribe your firstof thirteen opportunities to grab a grand onewzlxis

(40:20):
Boston's only classic rock morning show.Kitty Young, Pete McKenzie, hell A
Faud here at nine twenty three.Here in this Wednesday, we're not calling
it hump day anymore. We needto come up with another another moniker about
Wednesday. How about just Wednesday andwe move on every day right now.
Yeah, that's what it feels like. Yeah, humph, listen, I've

(40:42):
got I got a topic to throwout there. Yeah, you guys,
and to the listeners, we wemight learn you something here. I might
actually learn something on a Wednesday.Uh if I threw out some legendary names
that actually that you could guess thathousehold names. Bands are in the rock
and roll Hall of Fame, notonly here in the States, but also
across the pond as well, thatyou might be shocked to realize are have

(41:07):
never had a number one hit bandslike every Day's. One that comes to
mind is Boston because I it sucha great debut album, but never a
number one hit off that album,not off the debut. It wasn't until
Third Stage and Amanda. I thinkthat they had their first number one.
I think it was there only one. Just crazy, right, it's not

(41:29):
even more than a feeling reach numberone? No, yeah, it's crazy.
That's the one. I remember,we're talking about singles and not albums.
Just to the listener, to singles, not albums. Number one,
sing it together that playlist for theMurder Mystery Dinner at Church and I was
looking for like eighty songs, likethe best ones. Yeah, songs that
I just that just rocked my worldnever at number one. And it's and

(41:52):
they're the songs that you know,like there are songs you remember, and
they were there for so long thatother songs that were even better never got
there. So it's not surprising tome because to see the number one songs,
because I looked at all of themthrough the whole decade. It was
a little bit of it was alittle bit of a brain Mickey, you're
so fine on that one. Allthose one hit wonders, I mean some

(42:16):
of them, but not really.No, And that's what's crazy. Some
of those one hit wonders and bandslike you know the song, but you
forget the artists because that's all theydid, that's all they had. How
about if I threw some names outthere, like Bruce Springsteen never hit number
one now, although Dancing in theDark, even though Manfred Man had a
number one with Blinded by the Light, Bruce's own version from a couple of

(42:38):
years prior never made it to numberone. Isn't that weird? Yeah,
Bruce has never had a number onesingle Philadelphia, not number one not on
the Billboard Rock charts here We've mentionedthis before, but Creten's Clearwater Revival all
the hits that they had. Theyalso hold a record of having the most
number two's they've done that, They'vedone the most number two No, no,

(43:01):
nonot even though it stopped the rain. Yet here's another name that surprised
me. Bob Dylan has never hada number one single. Weirdly doesn't surprise
me. Rolling Stone, though,you would think right like Stone or maybe
even knocking on Heaven's door, youthink that would have gone to number Did
I go to number one for GNR? It did not, It did not.

(43:24):
This isn't too much of a surprise, but Grateful Dead because they weren't
really a radio friendly band. Butas you get into the list, a
lot of them are seventies legends.But when you think about it, in
the seventies people were buying albums,they weren't so much buying single tracks,
and in fact, led Zeppelin's case, they prided themselves in the fact that

(43:45):
they didn't release singles. They youknow, they promoted that we're putting out
a whole album right Well, no, I mean there was a few.
There's a few few and far between, but led Zeppelins on the list.
Would it surprised you that Leonard Skinnyardhas never had a number one? Ah?
Again, maybe for the fact thatthey're considered an album band. But

(44:07):
you can jump ahead to the theeighties and Ozzy Osbourne never m radio play.
This has to do with selling,Yeah, Billboard singles charts, all
right, never mind what I waslooking which is also kind of similar,
but the one I was looking for, the number one, it was like
radio played, So that surprised me. Like Zempline at one point, by

(44:30):
like seventy seven, they had allsix of their albums in the charts at
the same time, and like justabout every time they put something out it
would hit number one as an album, but no singles, right, Hendrix,
I think we could. We couldprobably guess. But let's fast forward
to the nineties. Would it surprisedyou, Heatherfored that Nirvana never had a
number one single? Never mind?That's well, that's probably because there was

(44:52):
something else at the same like mchammer was probably or Vanilla Ice. Yeah,
there's probably huge at the time,and their songs were just but like
smells, like teen Spirit. Iwould have thought that hit number. Grunge
was up against that, Yeah,they were up against the weirdness. They're
up against new kids on the block. Oh right, think about that,
right right, Jody Wattley, maybeor maybe I don't know. Green Day,

(45:15):
green Day hasn't had a number onesingle. I thought that was surprising.
Pearl Jam, R E M.Pearl Jams a surprise. Green Day
is a little bit of a niche. Yeah, and then the list jumps
back and forth. Here a littleit's a niche for you. It's not
a niche for me, No,it's it yeah, and more like album
orientated bands, A Pearl Jam,Pearl Jams never had number one single,

(45:38):
yeah, huh A d never didnot, even with you Shoot Me Back
in black pop music and disco,I guess souse is it all? Cpry
Springsteen surprised me because he had thattransition album into pop and none of those
went to number one. Of thosesingles hit number one. It's Crazy,

(45:58):
Journey, Deep Purple, the BlackSabbath. This list is pretty extent me.
These are all household names. Figure, I need you to give me
the other list of what the onesthat did. I need we need to
hear those at nine twenty tomorrow.Let's listen. Let's let's find out which
ones were that would surprise us,Like, I get they'd also like what

(46:20):
beat out Nirvana? Like they allhave to be songs? Yeah, they
got a probably or disco again inthe seventies, I'm assume. I mean,
I don't know. I don't knowabout the seventies. I have no
idea. I don't know. Imean maybe, uh, you know,
maybe the fact that Pearl Jam wasleft off the number one spot because maybe
this was ahead of it. Yeah, good luck getting that out of your

(46:42):
head to do it again, babyshark. Pete, when you go to
your bodily inspection today, I betbaby Shark is going to be somewhere in
the files. And then my butt, but you start dance, could you
hold still? Please? This willall be over before you know it,
Pete. McKenzie, head and forwardand with the weather. Uh yeah,

(47:06):
here we go, McKenzie on Sportsforty one right now on its way up
in the mid fifties here nine toforty eight. Plenty of people have plans
being laid for Thanksgiving trash to getlate. Oh yeah right, well,
I mean we all do that,don't we? Still Big plans or get
laid. No, we do getlately. I don't have plans. Sometimes

(47:29):
there are plans. I like plans, you do. I don't like that.
Sometimes there aren't. Yeah, Idon't know, it just depends.
I like the spontaneity of a all. Yeah, well you have no one
in your home and you don't reallyhave to drive anyone anywhere, right,
I mean the boss always tells usto set appointments, set appointments. Not
for that though, it's important toset appointments for excitement purposes. So that's
exciting to me. I talked toyou. Well, well, I'll just

(47:51):
tell you my son in law numberone. Air travel has been a pain
in the ass for him. Continuously. He travels a lot. He travels
quite a bit. And then afine couple I know, mister Adorble and
Fancy Nancy go to Ireland a lot. Right. Well, they went to
a Biza, Spain, I know, the big party island. Oh,
I know, and they ran intosome delays. In fact, one of

(48:12):
their flights back home was completely movedtoday. So fortunately they were planning on
coming back Friday, right, buthe got moved to Saturday, which was
okay, but they still wanted thattime to recover. So airports we know
how trumble. I hope the barhascot in good sub Yes, always,
because they pissed me up totally.And home is where I want to be,

(48:39):
in back, not watching some olddude pick his nose. That's why
we have phones. I hate thisfreaking airport, this war. Ifpend my
Thanksgiving, no way I'm leaving.You know, you remember in twenty You

(49:02):
don't remember twenty seventeen. I spentChristmas Day, the entire day in airports
from Boston all the way around thecountry up to Seattle. I had four
layovers, and then that New Year'sEve we were still back in an airplane
and we celebrated with the guy atLogan at the baggage claim, going Happy
New Year in ten nine seven,Oh in Logan. You think they would

(49:27):
do it better than that they had, right right? Well, I mean
the issue is or was going tobe the government shutdown, because then you
would have TSA agents out control saidthis morning. So yeah, so,
but they're still talking about it beingthe third most travel holiday since two thousand,

(49:49):
fifty five million travelers. You meanoverall, not just a year,
overall, the third most since twothousand, two thousand. Wow, five

know they does he do for work? He I don't know. But the
last time is at my house.He was with Croatia in the morning,
in La in the afternoon, sohe could operative he could I think,
hey, I think he's just anaccountant. I made the strategic move of
taking the Monday after Thanksgiving weekend offfor travel because we're driving. Yeah,

(50:38):
