(00:00):
Boston's only classic rock morning show,one hundred point seven w z L Eggs
nerv It's like we're in the thirdgrade again. You didn't notice my stickers?
Yeah, I had to decorate myheadphones, just separate them. Well,
we don't have a label maker here, so we all have different brands.
Or is Pete? Are you andPete wearing the same brands? Rocking
a son Pete? You get theSony's right, Look, yeah, Sony's.

(00:22):
They don't pay us to say thateither, and we buy our own
equipment. I keep those in mydrawer that that those headsets, but I
always use the I like the bowsbecause they're noise. Cans a little behind
the curtain of OZ. To youlisteners, if you're in the business,
you call them cans. Hey,where are your cans? I need my
cans? I know we call themthat. I don't know, Okay,
twenty something years I've always been sayingthat, well, because I've heard other

(00:43):
people do it. And then wesay, any audio that we have is
in the can where it can,It's in the can? Are canned goods?
At seven twenty five on this Thursdaymorning, We're going to get into
it a little bit later, butwe did a deep dive into the kitchen
because Pete and I are starving thismorning for some weird reason. The food
that was left here yesterday now though, Yeah, but the one in refrigerators
untouched. There's a whole bowl ofpasta that could feed sixty people in there.

(01:08):
Oh good, because the salad thatwas left out and just open all
night that kitchen, I closed itabout an hour ago because the kitchen smelled
disgusting. There's a red Bliss potatosalad that is congealed to the point where
I think things are growing on it. You're going to toss it? Well,
you might try. There's no garbagecan big enough. I know there
used to be large garbage cans around. They're all tiny. Yeah, you

(01:30):
can't get rid of stuff. Ieven took the top off the cans and
more cans off the garbage can inthe kitchen, and I couldn't fit it
in. So you know the likesqueeze top. Oh yeah, I took
that off and those don't fit,so I don't know where to put them.
You ever get those emails during theday from iHeart and says, okay,
go to the red bar. There'sfood it's like three o'clock in the
afternoon and there's six people in thebuilding. I always got it, I

(01:52):
know, I know one loan,one loan Tiller. Speaking of comings and
goings, we got Geddy Lee comingto town Saturday night at the Orpheum on
his book tour. Yes, rightgoing. I am not going with a
special guest, which should be CarterAllen will maybe, but it should you
know, it's not Paul Rudd.Down at the Brooklyn Academy of Music,

(02:12):
I think is where they had itin New York. Paul Rudd came out
was the guest host with Geddy Leea little I love man. Is that
what they were? Somebody famous Ithink is Paul Rud Canadian? Maybe Paul
Rudd. He's a huge Rush fan. I think that was the deal there
with Getty Lee. Yeah. Theother thing about Getty Lee too is I
don't know if you guys saw thisearlier this week he was showing off Did

(02:36):
I see it on Sunday morning?Maybe? Were he showing off his sports
memorabilia collection? Oh, I hadno idea. He's got like this huge
It focuses mainly on baseball, buthe's got like stuff that was just close
to him. I mean, Iguess he grew up loving baseball in Canada.
Yeah, Like he has a JoeJackson bat, you know, from

(02:57):
like nineteen nineteen Joe Jackson. Ohyeah, like the shoeless from the Black
Sox. Okay, yeah, so, I mean the stuff that just triggered
him. But I thought there wasone cool item in there that is a
cool Boston relate. We talked aboutthis guy in the recent past, Bill
spacemanly, Oh yeah, just recentlyat a Savannah Bananas game, right,
pitching at seventy five years of age, taking a beer down to the mound

(03:20):
with him. Yeah. So he'sgot a piece of Bill Lee memorabilia that
I thought was fascinating. I haveBill Lee's uniform the day that he freaked
out in the Montreal Expos clubhouse becauseRodney Scott had been traded. He took
off his exposed uniform, tore itup, and then headed headed to the

(03:42):
bar across the street to have afew pints, and Jim Fanning picked up,
who is the manager of the Exposat the time. Okay, so
Bill Lee, much like Pedro Martinez, was a Montreal Expo first before they
became Boston White Sox players. Yeah, picked up the uniform and kept it
all these years. And I gotto know Jim through Larry Walker, who's

(04:04):
a friend of mine and really nicefamily, and they, you know,
allowed me to purchase it from themfor my collection. But that's something that's
so special. Because I'm a Canadianand because I was, the Expos were
my first real passionate love. Iwould just love to see bill'space manly ripping
up his uniform because a player wastraded. I would have thought it would

(04:26):
have been the Blue Jays, right, I thought he was Toronto based Kiddy
Lee. Oh maybe I know theband formed in Toronto, but maybe he's
from the Montreal. I can't imagineany Canadian getting upset. I can't imagine
them getting so upset about baseball,right, isn't that kind of the problem?
Yeah? The Blue Jays came aroundin the seventies. Sorry, I
got you out e Surrey. Wheredid they come from? Who's that?

(04:47):
Who'd they steal him from the BlueJays? Or do they were expansionpansion team?
Yeah? Yeah, and Montreal?I can't think of it. Where
they went? Where did Montreal andMontreal Expos became help us out listeners.
No, if we only had amechanical computing device that could tell us right
in front, or maybe a thirdor fourth person on the show, maybe

(05:09):
a producer. A producer would begood. I only have four balls in
the air. I can't handle afifth right now. It's the l reading
from the book of Zeppelin, Boston'sClassic Rock one hundred point seven w z
l X. I used to tellKevin all the time, you gotta wait.
That thing comes back, that organcomes back at the end, right

(05:30):
notorious. I used to tell themall the time, don't touch Zeppelin.
I know you like to come inover the end of other songs, but
don't touch Zeppelin. They're the holyGrail. It's funny you mentioned that,
Kenny. This is a list ofsongs from Carter Allen that he typed up
in what would you call that print? Like doesn't Times New Roman Fauns.
Yeah, for Kevin and me notto talk ever over these songs. This

(05:54):
list of songs, can I'll makea copy. Yeah, I'd like to
see that as well with Kada,and then you'd probably add a few or
take out a few. Absolutely,there's a lot of lead Zeppelin on seven
three, one hundred point seven wZLEX, Boston's Only Classic Rock morning Show,
Kitty Young, Pete Mackenzie, heatherFord and well it's about that time,
isn't it. What's going on withBoston's Only Classic Rock morning Show on

(06:17):
one point seven w ZLX. Yeah, so aggressive is the big Like it's
killing all of the things on myinside that might be hurting me. That's
how loud and aggressive that is.If we complain about it enough and point
it out enough, maybe they'll changethe stingers. Now I will not,
and that is okay. We willjust get used to it. So I

(06:39):
said before when I was teasing ita little bit, that I've been denied
things twice. What I've tried tobuy something and the person selling it has
said no. The first time,I was trying to buy a Christmas gift
for Kevin and Pete. And thiswas years ago, and I went to
a smoke shop that shall not benamed, and I went in and I
tried to buy really good cigars foryou guys, okay, like expensive one

(07:01):
based on what they were trying tooffer, or I mean, I walked
in and I said, I don'tknow a lot about cigars. I'd like
to buy two really nice cigars,one for these are Christmas presents, one
for each guy that I worked with. So you went in there with no
brands, right, no styles ortypes. You were looking for his recommendation,

(07:23):
And I said, really, Isaid, I said, this is
a Christmas gift. I would usuallyspend between fifty and sixty dollars on a
bottle of liquor. What's a cigar? One cigar? Give me one of
your best cigars, right, Liketwenty bucks would be a really nice cigar
a piece. Are there any morethat are more expensive than that? Probably?
Yeah, yeah, So I wantedthis to be a like a wow.

(07:46):
Right, they wouldn't do it.The guy kept showing me all of
these like six, seven, eight, nine dollars cigars, and I go,
you know, I said, AndI was being the polite me,
you know, the one that's inpublic where I kind of act a little
ditzy so that people aren't freaked out. And I was like, oh,
those are great. I was like, but I'm looking for something a little
bit more expensive, and he said, no, no, you don't want

(08:09):
anything more expensive than this. Thisis the kind you want to smoke okay.
So well, in a way,he was doing you a favor because
he's not doing me, because yeahhe was, because a six or eight
dollars cigar can be as good asI've got a couple less. Showing me
like only six dogs like it wasn'tlike he was showing me the best six
dollars cigar. He was showing methe section I was allowed to shop in.

(08:31):
He goes, this is where youwant to shop. I go,
That's not what I'm looking for rightnow. I'm looking for a wow cigar?
Can you sell me a wow cigar? And he wouldn't do it.
I'm not a cigar aficionado, butyou know who is the guy behind you
is the guy we should be talkingto about cigars because oh, boss man,
the boss Man is all about cigars. No I will. So that

(08:56):
was the first time, and Iremember I left without buying anything because I
was like, final was buy theliquor. I would have gone to another
store. That's crazy. The onlyknew one. Well, he was trying
I don't know, smoke shocks.He was pushing you out, and you
were trying to give him more money. That's what I'm saying. I've never
heard of that said, usually theyupsell you. It wasn't the owner,
right, I knew that for sure. It was like someone they like.

(09:18):
When I walked in, the personwho was working the front goes, yeah,
talk to so and so, likethey pushed me off on someone.
I that guy could have been aperson who was buying cigars themselves, I
know, right, So that happened, and I remember thinking, that's never
gonna happen to me again. Solet's fast forward to last night. I'm
I'm constantly buying Bobby. He's myfifth almost fifteen year old. He turns

(09:39):
fifteen next week. Yeah, instruments. The kid's gonna he's either gonna work
with music for the rest of hislife or he's going to have music around
him for the rest of his life. Gartone euphonium. He has a clarinet,
he has a trumpet, He hasall the things that euphonium it's like

(10:00):
a baritone, except it's got anextra, it's got another I don't I
don't know a lot about euphoniums either. So I go on to Facebook marketplace
because he said to me, hegoes, you know, so and So's
mom went on a Facebook marketplace andjust said, anybody got any free instruments,
I'll take them. My kid likesinstruments, so I was like,
all right. So then I typedin and I've never been on it,
like I have a I did itonce to sell a bed, but I

(10:22):
don't go on this. So Igo on Facebook marketplace and I find a
marching baritone, which doesn't mean muchto you too, but it looks like
like an oversized trumpet. Yes,that I can, that's what it looks
like. You hold it like this, But a marching baritone you hold like

(10:45):
this bell out and it's not cheap, but it's because it's but it's used
and it's a good one. SoI'm like, oh cool. So Christmas
present, right, and uh.I actually even showed Bobby just to see
if it be appropriate, Like isthis something you'd be interested in? Sure,
because I don't want to spend thiskind of money on something I want

(11:07):
it. He goes, Oh mygod, mom, that looks amazing.
I go with fist bump. Hegoes on his way. He gritties his
way out the door. Christmas orsomething in the future. Yeah, you
know, get good grades, geta marching baritone. I don't know.
I'm constantly giving him instruments. SoI write, there's a there's a standard
When that says, hig, isthis still available? So I click on
that. The woman gets back tome, I mean within the hour,

(11:31):
and she gets back to me with, yeah, you're not local though,
this is cash and pick up only. And I'm thinking to myself, now,
the pickup is in New Hampshire.It's not like the pickups in Colorado.
The amount of driving I do.I'm thinking, if you tell me
you're in Merrimac or Nashua or anywhere, that to me is just an afternoon

(11:52):
of like basically my work draw.So she knows where you're from. You
can see that, you can seewhere I live. Think you're a scammerer
or something. I don't you knowwhat. I don't know, But why
would you say? Why do youcare? Yes, but you're not local
and this is a cash pickup AndI'm thinking to myself, wouldn't that seems
like no way to sell something NewHampshire. That's pretty salty. So I

(12:16):
write, and I put the nameof the town I go blank, isn't
out of my travel area. Butif you are looking to sell in New
Hampshire only. I totally understand.Thanks for getting back to me so quickly,
smiley face, Yeah, like allright, whatever, I'm not in
your and then she goes, well, if you're able to pick it up,
then please contact my husband. It'shis instrument and can tell you more
about it. And I go,that's great, thank you. I'm thinking

(12:37):
of myself. Wouldn't you just comeback with yeah, yeah, that's this
is what we're doing. It's stillavailable if you're interested. You would have,
by the way, back and fortha little bit before cutting you off
right from the very beginning, likejust say to me, but by the
way, it is still available,but you have to come to me,
and it's cash only. And thenI would have been like, see for

(13:00):
me, I automatically assume I'm traveling. If I knew where you were,
I saw it, you listed it, so if I said, is it
still available? Just right? Idon't know. I was just looking for
a kindness. I guess I don'teven want to buy. Maybe maybe by
you clicking on high is this stillavailable? She knew that was like a
robotic send and she thought you werethe bitch. But I would have written

(13:22):
high, is this still available?Even if I didn't click on that automatically,
that would have wrote it the sameway. That's what I would have
probably wrote hello instead of high,but it would have been strikingly similar.
Listen, I think I'd have muchmore of an interest in marching band instruments
if they poured a bunch of soapdown them and the horn section blue bubbles
while they played. They can dothat? Can they do that? Oh?
Yeah? How much fun would thatbe? Bobby was his trombone in

(13:46):
the bathtub. That's what I wasthinking, because it made me think if
you're buying used instruments, especially horns, I know you were placing the reeds
and the mouthpieces and all that,but not got to clean that thing out.
Yeah, I'm just saying it couldbe popular right now. It's not
throw a little dolls on inside ita music box and wrap them. You're
awesome, go to music around inaik wage. Not just saying tomorrow,
ha's your father from the planet Fitnessw CLX Studios. Now, now thanks

(14:11):
for making that part of your morning, idiots. Great store on one seven
w c LX, Boston, Oh. Protest group blocking traffic on the bu
Bridge book. Yeah, avoid thebu Bridge right now coming that way.
At least it's not the ninety's thepike, right, they're above the pike

(14:33):
right there, looks like it.Yeah, okay, so that's fine,
I mean unless you really need totake that robe. But it looks like
there's a lot of car bridge that'sover the pike. I was actually going
to do a completely separate traffic situation. And just if you didn't know already,
which you probably do. But becauseit's eight oh three, that rude
three bill Rica was going to beopen for the morning commute. Who knows
how much kitty litter, as Kennyput it earlier this morning, they had

(14:54):
to lay down on that and thenthey're going to finish after well, that
was the initial stuff. The initialstuff was foam, I mean for now,
like when the stay Puff marshmallow Manblew up. That's what it looks
like. Yeah, Ghostbusters. Andby the way, I was way older
than thirty when I found out itwasn't State Puff and it was stay Puff.

(15:18):
Oh, I'm with you. Ithought it was State Puff. Me
too, S T A T E. Yeah, oh oh oh the marshmallows.
I think I was in my forties. Stay Puff marshmallows. I did
not know what the brand was,generic brands of marshmallows my whole life.
Yeah, and I didn't know thatthat was a brand. I thought it
was called State. Okay, Ican't even believe how old I was.

(15:39):
Well, that's like the lyric andthe Hendrick song excuse me while I kissed
the sky. I always thought itwas kissed this guy. I mean for
years. This guy is a veryright so he was a lot with lyrics
right, way too old to figurethings out. But so that's open until
uh T morning is over and we'reI think ten eleven nine, ten eleven.

(16:03):
I don't know I should, Ishould look it up, but I
haven't. So just for all ofyou that are taking that road, congratulations
on the being able to use itpart, because I've seen that video of
that tank or rolling over about fiftytimes now and that is crazy. Right,
there's a lot of cars involved,And just make a car wash part
of your plant today if you hadto right undercarriage for sure was you're undercarriage
for God's sake. So I don'tknow how to I don't know how to

(16:26):
like say this without sounding weird,but so I'm going to do a story
right now off of Busy about redhour back cigar, and I will tell
you only once now because it's embarrassingand I don't know why I did it.
But when I was at Kevin's housethat morning that he passed, I
took a picture of the last cigarhe smoked, and I showed it to

(16:48):
Pete and I was like, whydid I do that? And I still,
for the life of me, can'tfigure out why I took that picture.
I just I was up in hisarea where he would sit and take
those pictures of himself. Yeah,was it finished? Yeah? Yeah,
I was down in the nub itwas, And it was from the night
before, because he had taken apicture of himself the night before and posts
the picture. So I took apicture of it and I was like,
and as I'm taking the picture,I'm like saying out loud to myself,

(17:11):
because I did a lot of outloud talking that morning. I said,
why am I doing this? Right? But apparently people like already smoke cigars,
because I don't know how I'm doingthe transition in this story. But
on Busy this morning, it saysa cigar partially smoked by Red Hourback is
going up for auction. Who's who'sbuying? Are you trying to smoke?
Are you trying to recreate Red hourBack? Are you going if you want

(17:33):
to clone him? Are you tryingto clone him? Can you clone him
off of this? Have you seena picture of the cigar either? I
haven't. I might have smoked thebig boys too, right, he did,
And I'd like to nowhere that waspicked up. I bet it was
in the garden he and Johnny theboss. What what the ring size on
Red hour Back? The auction house? Uh? Is so? He died
in six You know that the auctionends Friday, and and the and that

(17:56):
cigar is currently going for. Doyou know how much? Uh? Five
hundo? Okay, let's see.I'll say twenty five hundred bucks two hundred
dollars two hundred. It does notsay where it was. I mean,
I'm going to click on this.The the people that are auctioning at off
are you able to put a bitin up? It says yes, I
am put a bit in for me. Okay, wait, let me they

(18:18):
get so. And when Boston hada safe lead late in the game,
he would light a cigar blah,blah blah, where's this one from in
the garden? Remember that? Andoh Most would smoke in the garden,
right, well, Johnny Most wasripping darts in the breast box throughout the
game, but Red would light uplike court side, he'd light up eight
like God, try to get awaywith that now, it's not happening.

(18:38):
Nineteen ninety six, get out ofhere. Great, Yeah, I think
so. I think it was fromhe was at he was doing something.
So he was visiting Kevin and Iat the sub in a subway station because
we had our second year anniversary forthe when we were at the Eagle,
Yeah, and he stopped by andsaw us, no joke and uh gave

(19:00):
us signed cigar boxes. Did yousee the picture? I said, I
guess there's some my burning question foryou, sir, Yeah, pun intended.
Was it full? Empty? Wasit? Yeah? I was empty.
So this is what it says onthe bottom. It says the cigars
use is not dated, but asan offering the cigar dates from and this
is in parentheses, as hand printedon a sticker on the box Red Hour
Bax cigar from the New England cardshow nine Boston College High School Morrisey Boulevard.

(19:25):
Okay, January sixth, nineteen ninetysix. That's right around the time
we got our cigar boxes too.It was like ninety seven ninety eight.
That seems lower than I think itwould be going for it, So I
was, I know, I geton that and put it in his cigar
box. I bit on it.So the starting bit is two hundred.
I don't know what it's at rightnow. How do you find out?
Well, I'd have to log inand the current the current bit's two hundred.

(19:45):
Okay, So you want me toput a bit in for you?
Yeah? You want my credit card? Yeah? But I mean you could
do it too. Well. Iclicked on the link from BZ send me
the link. No, just goto bz bzz or their website. If
you have some disposable income, eitherof you or listeners. How would you
like to own the most expensive packof cigarettes owned by a former celebrity?

(20:06):
Well, I say former because hepassed away. It depends on the celebrity.
Kurt Cobain's pack of partially smoked Americanspirits is hitting the auction block at
Julian's. Yes, the initial startingbid, like Red's, was two hundred,
but now they say, now it'sgoing to go for at least eight
hundred to twelve hundred. Now there'salready been some early bids. What kind

(20:27):
of cigarettes did you say? Anywere American spirits? I think those were
the ones I sold as a telemarketerin the nineties. Oh really, yeah,
I think I was trying to getthem into light blue. The teal
pack, I don't know. Isthere a Native American on it? There
is, yes. I was tryingto sell those to seven elevens. It
was his job in college. Itwas Cobain's preferred brand, and this particular

(20:47):
pack was saved by a roommate atone of the recovery centers he spent time
in. In March of ninety four, just days before he took his life,
one of his buddies in the rehabplace gathered up some of his person
no belongings that he had left behindFor some whatever reason, he held onto
them. Now, almost what,thirty years later, I can't believe I'm

(21:07):
going to say that March of ninetyfour smoke a thirty year old cigarette.
Oh it's going to be dry.I don't think he threw him in a
humid door no, or a freezeryour cigarettes and a freezer too. Doesn't
that work? Have you ever triedthat, peete? I never had cigarettes
long enough to freeze them or worryabout them getting stale when I smoke cigarettes.
To me two days to smoke apack? There you go, Well
you have until oh today's the sixteenth, seven o'clock tonight. You can place

(21:30):
your bids on the Kurt Cobain mostexpensive pack. Say that, did you
do it? Did you find apee? I found it? But they
want to log in information, soI have to create some sort of account.

it's local. It's local. Ohit's New Hampshire. But I mean
local enough in the sense that peoplelistening are from New Hampshire. So the
headline on Boston dot com is manbroke into New Hampshire church for strangled canine

(23:44):
and bit officer yourself. Wow,this guy's thirty six years old. I
strangle means did the dog he putthe dog in a chokehold? No,
but I mean tell me the dog. I do not have anything about the
dog passing away? Does Does thatmake you feel better? The dog went
into the building, Lopez grabbed theanimal. By the way, I'm gonna

(24:06):
Paul Lopez, thirty six, ofManchester, New Hampshire. So he he
broke into a church looking to youknow, rob the place on the challenge
challenge nine pm on a Sunday.Couldn't do it on an off day to
go on a Sunday. The burglaralarm was activated. The first officer to
arrive saw an individual Lopez, bangingon a window from the inside, so

(24:27):
they called for law enforcement. Theysaid, we're gonna send in a police
dog. They sent in the dog. He was given warnings. When they
let the dog in the building,he grabbed the dog and started to strangle
the dog. Oh man, well, I mean, is this a rookie
who could know? Come on,man, I mean, if you're hopped
up on all sorts of things,you probably think you can fight a giant

(24:49):
and you might be able to.Well, you know, those bath salts
make you think you're superhuman. SoI've read yes, which aren't for your
bath or assault. Officers were ableto take him into custody after this is
a quote significant difficulty, which ledone officer to be severely and seriously bitten
by Lopez. Oh jeez, soyou started biting the cop like a dog.

(25:12):
Oh my, he's doing the caninesjob exactly. So he was charged
with burglary, second degree assault,simple assault, animal cruelty, resisting arrest,
and seriously bodily injury to a resistingofficer. Oh my god, I
got a question about this. Didthey give the dog communion afterwards? Like
the Body of Christ? Almost done. What moment of the day we tasted

Forward eight twenty one warned you priorto the end of the show yesterday that

(26:02):
I was getting my prostate exam andthat I would be recording with the doctor.
Because I've recorded with doctor lew inthe past. I'm going to ask
that from now on that you justtell us once it's already happened and there's
a break happening, because I spentway more time than I should have yesterday
wondering and concerned for your appointment.Oh really, Yeah, Like, don't

(26:23):
don't tell me beforehand. Like comein in the morning and be like,
guess what. Guess what happened tome yesterday? Oh? I see that
seed and it made you work.I had a lot of gel thoughts and
rubber gloves right and doctor right,and just a lot of thoughts. I
didn't need. Okay, that's allI'm saying. All right, So way
longer and things are sitting in likeruminating in my brain in ways they shouldn't

(26:48):
for the past couple of weeks.So don't give me that. Don't give
you that too soon, just afterthe fact, tell me, because now
you're still going to have those goingthrough your head. This, yeah,
you're rehearing it. Can we agreethat I can't try? That's my dad
doesn't tell me about appointments until afterthey've happened for that reason. Yeah,
you don't mean try. It's notreally that difficult to do. I'm gonna
half, but I've been doing itthe same way for forty years. I

(27:11):
know I can't handle it now.Maybe in maybe in a couple months,
asking me in a change for acouple months, For a couple months,
okay, I will. So I'mfine. But I haven't got the blood
work back yet. I don't knowwhat that means blood work, No,
I mean like, I don't knowhow the blood work is related to the
test. You got. What arethey testing? Oh? Well, they're
testing for p s A. Ohgoody. Does that mean public service announcement?

(27:34):
Yes, prostate exam uh right,So they check your blood as a
backup for what are you know,what's the A stand for? Yeah,
probably something to do with cancer.Oh, for cancer, all right,
gotcha right right? Yeaeah, yeah, I mean it's my guess. Yeah,
good point. So yeah, Imean it was uh it was this
guy's great by the way, GreaterBoston neurology in Metro West there and uh,

(27:59):
doc or Lou, I've seen him. This is the fourth time I've
seen him. So doctor, doctor, you did well, I guess pretty
good. Good. Yeah, anyproblems passing your urine? No, no,
I mean the stream can be strongsometimes and other times almost like I
feel nervous about it. Oh youget you get stage fright, yeah,

(28:22):
C P U P. You know, I don't what is that? Can't
be under pressure CP. But that'shappened to me at a large scale sporting
events. Yeah, back in theday, the trough at Fenway, Like
I could never do that. Iwas traumatized. I knew there was a
trough until I started working with you. Yeah, traumatized at a child with
the things I saw there. Mybrother never told me about troughs, and
he must have seen them. Myfather, No one ever said, you

(28:45):
know, there's a trough in there. Not only a trough to go urinate
in, but the sinks were atrough too circular. Yeah, foot pedal,
none of that. Pete, doesit burn when you're I did?
We should do the annual prostate exam? Okay? Does that mean our small
talk's over? You continue it afterwards? We cant all right, so I

(29:11):
have a recorder going okay, allright? So the uh it was it
was revealed to me that the PSAlevels in your blood. This is from
a listener. This is a substitutefor the actual prostate exam, is it?
Or I would not say that it'sa substitute. I would say that
the PSA blood test complements the prostateexam. We do those, and we

(29:36):
as urologists definitely still advocate for youknow, men to have yearly prostate exams,
begetting at what age beginning typically atage forty. There's really no downside
to the rectal exam. Besides,you know, I get I guess,
you know, patient embarrassment or orbeing uncomfortable with it. But I think
if you explain it to patients,I think most men would have no problems.

(29:57):
Yeah, I mean raising the bloodpressure, heart rate. It's short
period, rights, right. Sothe last question I have for you is
when you entered the medical field?Yes, what drove you to this portion
of the medical field. So that'sa good question, right, because I

(30:19):
was like a fields to get into. Usually I tell people begins with one
drunken night. I'm just kidding.Okay, Well, urology, you know,
it's it's a very varied field,which which interested me. I'm surprised
there's variety and all right, surprisinglythere is. There's there's different kinds of

(30:42):
surgeries we do, and the scopicsurgeries open service now for scopic surveys,
micro surgeries procedures in the office likebiop seasons you get to use. So
there is you know, you seepatients long term, you see patients annually
or semi annually. Yeah, andI'm want to bleed into your lunch hour,
so that bleed. Oh nice,there, Thanks, you're welcome.

(31:06):
Oh my god, the hits keepcoming with doctor Loewis. Doctor is a
B and a E. Right,Oh my god, this guy, this
guy'd be awesome at cocktail parties.Yeah, right, eight twenty six,

(36:19):
right, it's all good, allgood. You know. Stevie Nixt came
out recently and said she loved BillyCorgan's version of that song. Me too,
thought it was a fantastic age fiftytwo here on this Thursday morning,
Kenny Young, Pete McKenzie, heatherFord, can we talk about Arnold for
a second? Egg? I liftthings up and put them down, lift
things up and put them down onhard maids and stuff. Did you?

(36:44):
Did you guys watch the Netflix docyou on him? I did not.
I've seen Pumping Iron, but Ihaven't. Is this a new one?
Oh yeah, it's from his time, it's from him now. Yeah,
he talked about pumping iron. Hetalked about his whole life, and he
talks about suits dad. No,we really talked about his father, his
brother, the businesses he started beforehe became an actor. Yeah, all

(37:05):
the things. It was really good. What's his net worth? God,
it's got to be two fifty maybeit's got to be a couple hundred million.
Guy. I enjoyed it. Ilike him. Yeah, I don't
know. I do too. Ijust heard it. He's been making the
podcast circuit too. Maybe it wasto promote that documentary or something. I
heard him on Conan. I hardhim in a few other places. But
Arnold's getting into this some more hotwater over a wild car crash that he

(37:27):
was involved in last summer out atSunset Boulevard in La Actually I'm sorry it
was last January. Uh, thiswoman driving a Prius got smashed into by
anod who had his Yukon s UV, his giant pimped out Yukon. It
collided with her Prius and then Peachesshowed us a photo of the accident,

(37:47):
and that's almost like an out ofa movie set. Yeah, it's like
they picked up the Yukon and putit down on top of two cars.
He picked it up and put itdown and put them down and get to
the Joppa. Well, apparently thisyoung lady who was driving the Prius,
she now says she may be sufferingfrom permanent disabilities, and so she's going

(38:13):
after him. For Uh, Ithought this was going to go away.
Well, he didn't legal tour.He was cited. He was cited for
wrongful and reckless driving. Yeah,yeah, so she's probably got a case
there to tell you, Arnold.Yeah, unfortunately they do not have the
details of what she's going after himfor. Did you find out his net
worth? I did, and youknow what he's looking at When I look

(38:35):
at his net worth. I thinkhe could have made this go away so
easy. Yeah, you just havea private meeting with this person in pay
your medical bills because you can affordto do it. We probably didn't want
to do it beforehand. He wasjust going to wait to see what she
wanted. So this is going ontwo years in January. She says,
today she's still suffering shock and injuryto her nervous system, and the doctors
have told her she may have permanentdisabilities. This Sheryl Augustine. I mean

(38:58):
car, his suv ended up ontwo different vehicles. Yeah, so he
was a legal turn. How fastare you going? And he was sighted
he was on top of her car, and then he was on a Porsche,
like leaning on a Porsche. Wow. Yeah. So I mean probably
for five million he could have justhe wouldn't have been thinking about it for
two years. What's worth four hundredfifty after watching his documentary? Honestly that

(39:23):
he would be worth that much bythe four hundred and fifty million stub whin
I would if I had that muchin the bank. Wow. By the
way, William has been pumping ironwith John in the basement. They've got
a whole setup down there. Andyou've seen my kids. They're very fit.
They're wiry thin. Yeah, butthey're not you know, they're not

(39:43):
briky. They're not No, they'renot bulky at all. But William at
the age of eight months could climba wall to the ceiling and then wait
for someone to grab him, likewhere the molding is. Yeah, he
used to climb, literally climb wallsas a baby. So they're all they're
both very strong. But so he'sbeen lifting because he's tired being called skinny.
So you know how all boys dothat eventually, right they started,

(40:04):
Oh, I was a bean pole. Right. So he's now got the
chest that when you do that thing, you kind of look like Arnold where
it's like then make the pex bounce. Oh yes, And he's got giant
ones for his body sides. AndI go, oh my god, you
look like Arnold Schwarzenegger. And Iwas like, you so muzzy, and
he goes he goes, ew youstop whining. Pressed with that, he

(40:27):
thinks of Arnold Schwarzenegger is like aseventy eight or seventy five year old man,
so he doesn't know I'm referencing,like mister Universe. He thinks I'm
referencing the old dude. Go backand show him Predator Commando running movie.
I did show him Twins. Iheard rumors of a Twins sequel really and

(40:50):
like, yeah, that'd be perfectbecause remember at the end of that one
they both had twins. Yes,yeah, they did with the late Kelly
Preston. Huh eight fifty six here, Remember if you'd look at a little
extra chi chain. We don't havefour hundred million like Arnold for you,
but we do have your next thousanddollars bribe. You're first to thirteen and
the last two days of the thousanddollars bribe. On the way JACKEDMWZLX nine

(41:12):
to twenty five, Kenny Young,Heather Ford, Pete McKenzie holiday season right
around the ConA uh huh twentieth anniversaryof Elf. Believe that twe they're gonna
play it in the movie theaters.I keep saying to the boys, do
you want to go? They're like, no, I'm like that, Like,
we'll just watch it here the fiftytimes that it's on. Yeah,
that's one of those that they're onat the house's ives. That movie's always

(41:36):
on. Oh ways, I rememberlast year, after Thanksgiving dinner and after
dessert and after more cocktails, itjust they they were running like an Elf
marathon Thanksgiving night last year. Andthen you got those, Then you got
those movies that have Christmas themes butreally are Christmas movies. My all time
favorite is Diehard all the time.Well it's my number two. My number

(41:59):
one all time favorite movies beside Adventure. Second is Diehard. Yeah, Diehard
is said, it's not I've everseen it from beginning to it's not Christmas
until Hans Gruber falls off a notcatonyPlaza, Heather, I will tell you
yeah, for no other reason,watch it. Watch that movie because of
Alan Rickman. I've seen no Iknow he is, he steals it.
I've seen clips and stuff. Imean, if you put all my clips

(42:21):
together, I might have seen mostof the movie, but I don't know.
Trading Places is another one. Ohyeah, Roydon Eddie Murphy, Right,
that was Holiday c but it wasn'treally a Christmas movie. I mean
it don't take place around Christmas andone of the greatest Christmas party theme or
scenes of all times. Yeah,then too. But there's somebody, I

(42:42):
think it's called cabletv dot com isoffering you to watch and you don't.
There's no strings attached. You justhave to watch twenty five Christmas movies none
where. Do I sign it intwenty five days and they'll pay you twenty
five hundred bucks, set you upwith free streaming for seven different services for
a year. Oh and of courseyou are the chief cheermeister for the year.

(43:05):
So there's only one of these positionsavailable. I'm assuming you got everybody,
which is great. Oh you getto pick them, You get to
pick the movies. Yeah. Ohthat's a good deal. Yeah. I
guess you just have to somehow logor they have to know that you watched
twenty five movies and twenty two.They're not looking for a gazillion people to
do this though, They're only lookingfor one or a bunch of them.
They're taking a bunch of they're takingapplicants and one person gets it. Yeah.

(43:25):
Yeah, So they're looking for likeinfluencers basically to promote or just about
the service. They say they're justlooking to give somebody twenty five hundred bucks
for the holidays because it feels goodto them. So I read about this
Bloomsy box. It's one of thosesubscript monthly subscription services. But they do
flowers every month fresh flowers. Ilike that, and you can choose weekly
or monthly. So for whatever reason, they've partnered up with the Hallmark Channel.

(43:51):
But in this one, Pete,it's only two thousand dollars and it's
watching and ranking twelve Hallmark Channel movieyou know about the small town that are
all the same, Well, it'spretty much the same plots, although I
will tell you as a person thatwatches them because they're targeted to me,
you know, women of a certainage, they live in a certain area.

(44:14):
They're to me directly at me.And the boys will watch it with
me. Is specifically William, theoldest, and he'll be like, I
know how this is going to end, and I go, I know it's
middle and I know how it's goingto beginning when the big city financier returns
to her small hometown and the hunkycarpenter and her don't get along, and
then again farm or a Christmas StreetFarm. Yeah, And the thing is
some of them. No. GilmoreGirls is very well written and fun.

(44:37):
But so the thing about them isthat sometimes there are actors together that have
no chemistry. So if I'm rankingthem by characters, I'd like to see
share as SNL put it, asuper dry, uncomfortable kiss at the end
of a two hour movie. Youkind of want them to have chemistry,
and some of them don't. ThisBloomsy Box, aside from the two thousand
peete, they also ate one chillcandidate. We'll also get a twelve month

(45:01):
free subscription to their flower Box Dallyand also unlimited thirty day supply of Giradelli
Hot Cocoa and Fuzzy Nice. Butyou gotta work hard for that one.
You got it. You gotta rankright, you gotta you gotta watch and
rank them. And then they pickedthe movies like I like yours because you
get to pick your own pick Christmasmovies. Though, well, remember the

(45:24):
old adage here at nine twenty nineyou can pick your friends, and you
can pick your nose, but youcan't pick your friend's noses. Got one

a glass of green machine, whichis just a green drink that tastes

(47:35):
like apples. And the night beforethat, I had a glass of water.

morning and I looked in the mirror, I thought, I cannot take this
space into public right right, AndI'm not a makeup whear, and if
I don't want to wear makeup thisweek, So even if I was just

(48:22):
working, but it's one of thosethings where you're just waiting for that time
to pass where you're going to startsleep. That's how my brain's going.
When is this gonna happen? Whenis this? You know, when is
this gonna When are we gonna goover that hump? I'm not there.
I'm not either. I'm totally goingto end because of the way he passed
and we're talking about Kevin. I'mfearful when I fall asleep, Like I'm
