Yeah, I'll tell you who's hada taxing morning already because she hasn't

(01:55):
arrived yet, severely delayed beyond hercontrol. Well, we understand, Heather
Forward. You write this goal downwhen you're a little girl, but it's
a different reality when you hear yourname called. I'm kind of coursing through
you right now. I got alittle anxious there. Yeah, she's anxious
trying to get in here. Shetexted us and said, what did she
say? Well, I'll have toexplain when I get in there. Yeah,

(02:16):
this is gonna be a few minuteslate. We're calling your name,
Heather, Heather, Heather, Yeah, that's what we're doing, right.
Oh, she's all right. Maybeit was an accident. Maybe there's some
road construction going on. I raninto kind of my own uh snaff wu
on the way in here. Delayedme a few minutes. Oh yeah,

(02:36):
yeah, yeah. They're back atwork between commav and the prew Tunnel on
the Masspike eastbound, working on lightsor structural support. I don't know what
curson scene Okay, curs on sceneout there. But before I got to
that snaffo by Fenway where it justyou know, came to a complete and
utter stop for a good four orfive minutes. Before that, I was

(03:00):
treated to not one, but twoseparate tailgaters. Now you got to you
gotta understand here, if you're nottraveling the pike at four o'clock in the
morning, three open lanes, thereis really no reason to ride someone's ass
right unless you're going slow in theleft lane. Yeah, and there's a
lot of campers like I am nota camper in the left lane. I
go at a brisk pace. ButI also know that that's a passing lane,

(03:23):
so I try to stick to themiddle lane. Sure right, So
if I see headlights coming a batout of hell or otherwise in the left
lane behind me, I move over, all right. And I know what
some of you're gonna say out there, Oh God for you common courtesy as
well, you move out of theway. Sure well, I had not
one but two ass clowns when Imoved over to the middle lane, because

(03:46):
then I, you know, eventuallymoved back, uh move over again and
instead of passing me, just rodemy bumper. And this went on,
and so I moved over again tothe right lane. Now all right,
go ahead pass me. Then askyou was this east of Newton or west
of Newton? The first one wasjust western Newton and then the other was

(04:06):
right by like Alston. Because becausethat left lane, you know, Kenny,
that left lane turns into an exitlane. So now the middle lane
becomes that's not until the Alston Cambridgeexits. What I'm saying, this was
well before that. Okay, allright, just just making sure because that
becomes the high speed lane. Themiddle lane, Oh I understand, for

(04:27):
the pike, Yes, hey Ford. Oh, Heather Ford, she gives
us for I was complaining about gettingtailgated twice today on an open highway,
so that was that was nice todo. But you know, I could
have I could have responded or reacted, but like I said, instead I
moved over to try to let theseclowns pass. Two separate clowns. Yeah,
encountered, Okay, so uh yeah, I just again, I don't

(04:50):
get it. I don't get thetailgating at four o'clock in the morning when
you've got two open lanes. Stress. People have a lot of stress.
By the way, while Heather's pluggingin over there, I mentioned my tax
guy earlier, visiting him. Hetold me. He told me that from
twenty twenty one in the state ofMassachusetts there is over twenty one million dollars

(05:15):
of unclaimed returns. So you havethree years to claim your return and you
get it with interest. Is thispart of fine mass money? No,
this is separate for this is thisis tax returns. Okay, this is
tax returns. People get getting refunds, have not claimed those refunds and the
clock has expired. It's like Kevin'sson, Chris, Remember you used to

(05:35):
have to convince him to get hisrefund. Yeah, right, Well he'd
get a check and it'd be layingaround, you know, Kevin would find
Chris's checks laying around. Yeah,so Heather, Yeah, so Heather,
it's good to see you. Thankyou. I almost didn't come in out
of migraine. Oh oh that wasso bad. And you know, when
you're in bed and you're thinking toyourself, like you have to pee or

(05:56):
you have a headache, You're like, I'm not going to get up and
go pee. I'm not going toget up and take it. Medication.
Maybe I could just fall asleep andit'll go away. And it didn't.
So the minute my first alarm wentoff, I took two et cetera migraines
and I don't know. I don'teven know what stories I sent you.
I don't even know what they said. I don't remember them at this point.

(06:17):
Great and something postal and the mailman, oh yeah. And then and
then the headache started to break,but the nausea didn't. And I'm like
talking to my husband. So nowI'm waking him up and I'm like I
can't, I can't do it.He goes call in. I'm like,
there's no calling in. I go, like, it's just a dumb radio
show if you're not feeling good,like a regular job. Though, Like

(06:40):
it's not like you call your likewhen you're a teacher, Like you call
and you're like, I need asub. So I just thought, let
me just see if it breaks.And it broke, like right at the
exact minute. I would have hadto have left my house to get here
at the exact time. And Iwas like, I'm still nauseous, but
I don't have a headache, butI don't remember any like I don't I
don't remember this morning, and Ishower at night, but I didn't blow

(07:04):
dry this morning. So I'm likein a hat. My eyes feel like
they're glue shot, but I don'thave pain, but the pain's gone,
so I just have nauseat. Ifeel bad for you people that have these
migraines. Man, Kenny's had one, You've had one, I've had I've
never had a migraine. I getthem all the time, but I didn't
get them until my forties. Likeit's not like I suffered through this my

(07:25):
whole life. There are people thatsuffer through this. I'm just I'm like,
I'm dabbling in it. I getone or two a month, you
know. So I know Kevin's wifeBarbara, she had several migraines where she
had to go to the hospital.I know it was that bad. I
know. So I don't know anotherlocal migraine sufferer noted just because I follow

(07:46):
her on Instagram, the Lovely JoddyOn Thompson from Channel Channel seven. She
suffers from migraines and yes, she'sbeen hospitalized for it as well. So,
oh, it's real and it's uh, it's brutal. I believe I
forgot what I sent. I don'thave whether, I don't have anything.
So if you have that that Ican't I can't take us out of this
break. Of course I don't haveanything. Of course. Oh it's all

(08:09):
good and yeah, I mean you'respot on the Karen Reid trial. Now
they've so far got four jurors andthey had to come up with eight more
and then like what another four alternatesor something like that. But to you
know why they can't find you know, the only people they'll be able to
find jurors of people who solely listento this station and don't look at anything

(08:31):
else. Because I've been able tofill you in on nothing because I don't
follow it. So they should belooking for. Their first question should be
do you listen to the ZX MorningShow, because then they know they're completely
unaware of whatever's going on. Right, we're just in the dark as the
rest of it. But the exposureand the uh, you know, attention
that this case has gotten, Ithink it would be hard to find jurors

(08:52):
that like, don't know enough aboutit to have already formed an opinion,
or maybe like us, that areconfused about it. So I don't know,
it's it's going to take a littlewhile to get this jury pool together.
Yeah. Well, no, whenyou when you play that uh that
law professor from Northeastern, he kindof explains that, you know, he's
he talks about how you can bea durer and still know about the case,

(09:16):
which I thought was fascinating because youcan say, I'm I'm just gonna
do I'm going to do my best, I'm gonna do my civic duty,
and I'm going to judge this caseas I see it. Is this guy
a law professor we're about to hear, Yeah, he's from Northeastern Law School.
You pretty much have to be livingunder a rock or not in Boston
to not have heard of the KarenReid case. So the question is you'll

(09:39):
find people who are familiar with thecase, but at least have the ability
or claim to have the ability tokeep an open mind. Yeah, isn't
that the key have the ability orclaim to have the ability to keep it
open. It's hard to do.There's a core case going on in New
York City right now that includes oneof the most famous people on the planet,
same thing, and they're having troublefor I thought that was funny that

(10:00):
they were having the same amount oftrouble finding jurors for Karen Reid as Donald
Trump. Yeah, exactly, thinkabout it. Karen Reid's on that level.
Yeah, that Jerrypool in New York'slike ninety seven deep. Oh they
only got a few. Yeah,they're not even They have three. I
think they have seven. I thinkI heard yesterday more than the Karen Reid.

(10:22):
They have more than the Karen.But they've had an extra day too.
I think maybe they should switch jurors, you know what I mean.
So you send these people there tocover that, and those people to shuffle
the deck. Kenny wants to shufflethe deck, level the deck a little
bit, right, So sunny cloudstoday, Kenny, it's gonna be a
nice one. It's gonna be coolernear the coast. Are you don't have
the forecast, Heather, I'll do. And then sixty five west of one

(10:45):
twenty eight and then a few cloudsaround tonight. Low's in the mid forty
that's right, five forty one.Now our neighbors to the Great White North
have something to say about it.Rush slapping their basement, slapping their bass.
Boston's only classical morning show, onehundred point seven WZX five forty five,
just about forty five on its wayup to the mid sixties Inland,

operation we dubbed the one thousand dollarsbribe, and it has returned for the
spring here just in time for taxseason, Pete. Otherwise, you know,

Yeah, it would work. Itwould work, a little bounce back check,

we got some Boston. You gota suggestion for us. We're all
ears. Fire us up on theiHeartRadio app, open up the talkback feature.
Let us know what you need froma Planet fitness. WCLX Studios Horizon.
Now now, thanks for making uspart of your morning Deadlines with Heather.

(12:37):
People are idiots. Great story thanon WCLX Boston because all the days
run into each other in a week. For us, did we do the
little girl from a little boy fromMedford who were giving postal workers whistles on
Monday or Tuesday? Was that Monday? Monday? It wasn't yesterday, right
the postal workers? It was thisweek. I can know that. That's

(12:58):
all I know is that it wasthis week. And okay, oh you
can see it. So I feellike they need to give those whistles to
the postal workers in Nashaw in NewHampshire because right after and they did that,
remember, because postal workers were beingharassed and robbed sometimes at knife point
or gunpoint, gunpoint a gun becausethey were they had the keys to the

(13:22):
blue boxes and that's where people wantedto steal all the pretty pretty envelopes master
keys. Well. Police are investigatingin Nashua after our armed rob robbery of
a postal carrier. I mean it'sit's caught on camera, broad daylight,
residential neighborhood, scary scary stuff andit's just I mean, they're like this
far apart. They're like a footapart, and the postal workers just you

(13:43):
know, he's almost got a posein the still shot where he's like,
really, really, this is what'shappening right now, like and I'm sure
it goes through their minds anyway.So police are looking for an armed robber
of a letter carrier. That's happenedyesterday on Blacksmith Way, right in the
middle of the afternoon, Like Petesaid, quiet residential road in the giant

(14:03):
residential neighborhood. There was a ringsecurity camera that seemed to show the gun
coming out the mail carrier getting outof his truck. He raises his hands
and gives something to the person.Another person can be seen approaching the back
of the mail truck. I mean, this is a coordinated assault on a
mail carrier. I honestly, withspins wheel of crimes that I thought were

(14:28):
going to be common, this onenever. I mean maybe mail carriers have
always thought about this, but thisone never crossed my mind. I still
wonder if they're organized, you know, I would have thought so often.
I would have thought like dogs anddistracted drivers would have been the two most
you know things that the letter carrierswould worry about, right, And I'm
not making a joke here, butI'm serious. Like, growing up,

(14:48):
those were the things like distracted driversrunning down you know them that were walking
in the street, or somebody's dogthat gets loose. Right. Never did
I think in the last two yearsthat being held up a gunpoint for a
key would be normal. No,And it's very it's really calculated. They're
very good at it, and they'revery quick. Well, they said it
was a female driver and two menwearing hoodies with masks that are possibly like

(15:11):
they're trained. Yeah, but whatdo you do with the stuff after you
just use people's checks and their routingnumbers? Is that? Is it?
That's why, because I wouldn't evenknow what to do with people's mail if
it wasn't cash. Well, Ithink it's just like a scammer. You
know, you throw a line inthe water, and they're basically throwing a
line in the water by grabbing asmuch as they possibly can sift through it,
they'll find something. They look forcredit cards, they look for statements.

(15:35):
That's what I'm like. I'm justwondering if because to me, if
they if they were just doing itout of nowhere. They're looking for cash
and maybe credit cards if they're ifthey're more advanced, and this is some
sort of a crime ring. They'retaking our checks and our routing numbers and
all the things involved and our signatures, and they're doing things that way identity
right, I just washing those checks. It's got to be an organized effort,

(15:58):
like I think, just again,Spin's will didn't see this coming.
ZLX weather sun and clouds with highsin the mid fifties near the coast,
highs in the sixties Inland, mostlyclaudy tomorrow with a shower in spots in
the afternoon. High around fifty fortyfour degrees In Boston. I'm heather Ford
on one hundred point seven ZLX,Boston's only classic rock morning shows six sixteen

(16:18):
forty four and it's way up nearsixty again, Man three in a row,
near four days in a row.We can see that sunshine, soak
it in. Meanwhile, we gota lot popping here at the rock and
roll radio station. You know.Last week we were dished out passes to
this listening party, which took placelast night at select movie theaters across the
country. A global premiere of PearlJam's new album, Dark Matter And I'm

(16:42):
just seeing some social media reports fromsome listeners, some fans of the band,
and saying it's a real solid album, this twelve outing from Pearl Jam.
Now, if you were not sofortunate as many of our listeners were
to get to go to this listeningparty last night to hear the new record,
don't worry. We've got you covered. Thursday night, at midnight,
ZLX presents the iHeartRadio album premiere ofPearl Jam's Dark Matters. You can hear

(17:04):
it in its entirety right If you'rean early riser and you're a big Pearl
Jam fan, maybe you catch anapp and you can listen to it at
midnight. So we'll be running thattomorrow at midnight right here on WZLX.
And the best way to stay ontop of all of it, all right,
listen live on the free iHeartRadio app. And of course we'll always remind
you early and often to use thattalkback feature. Now, when we were

(17:25):
making our way in here on thehighways and byways of the Bay State,
here I'm saying how I got tailgatedon three lanes of open highway on the
mass Pike and I guess I'm notthe only one that feels like there's a
few clowns on the road at thattime of the day, because there's way
too many clowns out on the roadsearly in the morning. I agree with
you, mister Kenny. I thinkhe's on my side, or maybe he

(17:48):
is calling me the clown. Listen, I get over when I see headlights.
He's on your side, all right, all right. I also move
over for construction and emergency vehicles,which now we have to have digital men
stageboards on the highway to remind peopleto do that, to stay out of
the way of construction workers. Andthat might be from out of state.
We do have a lot of peoplethat travel in and that might not necessarily

(18:11):
be the law or the rule intheir states. But I would think common
sense no matter what state you're in, says you're seeing construction lights or first
responder lights, you move over.Yes, I know you're saying that it
should be that, But I rememberthey when they made the law, because
there are people that still don't moveover. Oh, I know we didn't.
I don't know if I necessarily pulledover to the side of the road

(18:33):
for construction vehicles or like moved overanother lane. I actually I'm almost positive
that if there was construction going onin the breakdown lane, I just stayed
with every other car in the lanethat was next to it until the law
told me to get over one.Yeah. Like I don't remember any of
us going over one lane twenty fiveyears ago. No, that was a

(18:53):
few years ago, like three yearsago, four years ago, maybe more,
maybe six years It could have beenlongerd us. Yeah, emergency vehicles
we did, but not construction.But that state of Massachusetts put us through
some training. Yeah. Remember,Well reason they had to too. One
of the reasons why is because alot of construction workers were getting hit by
distracted driving. I'm not saying it'sa bad law. I'm just saying no,

(19:14):
but until that happened, I followedevery other car and I just stayed
in the lane that was right nextto it. Yeah, so it's common
sense. Somebody stumbles off of theshoulder into the road, Yeah, they
get slipped. In other states theymight not have that law yet. I
mean, we do get a lotof people coming in, especially now this
time of year visiting. Oh yeah, summer tourist season is nearly It's weird

(19:36):
getting tailgated though in the middle ofthe night, you know, the roads
wide open. Yeah, exactly.I was that jerk. What remember I
got a ticket in the mail fortailgating on my way into work. Oh
my god, you don't remember that. No, for being a mean table,
was being an a hole? Iwas, you know, I don't
know getting that was probably running latersomething I was in my No, it

(19:56):
was the vehicle before this, Soit was probably twenty fifteen. Was that
here or in another state? Iwas here? It was here. Yeah,
I'm pulling, I'm in the I'min the fast lane, right,
and I pull up behind a guywho's going sixty miles an hour on the
pike in the fast lane and I'mright on his ass, camped out.
Another car comes up to my rightin the middle lane, flashes his lights

(20:18):
like what are you doing? Backoff. I knew it was a trooper
right away, right, And thenI got a ticket in the mail for
tailgating. Wow, So I don'tdo that anymore. Lastly, on the
traffic and the ticket and the speeding. Uh so, you know, for
a number of years, my wifeand I were taking her boss's car down
for the winter to Florida. Wewould drive it down and then fly home,

(20:38):
you know what I mean. Butthen she found this retired police officer
that does that service. Well,this guy a couple of weeks back,
was driving the Boss's car back upfrom Florida here to mass And Jen opened
the mail yesterday and there was avery sizable speeding ticket from the Washington,

(20:59):
DC area, captured on camera,a shot of the license plate, the
time and the date stamp on it. And they sent the ticket up to
the bill because it was the Boss'scar, you know, And so they
she had to get a hold ofthat driver and say, by the way,
it's about one hundred and fifty bucks. Wow. So yeah, I'm
telling you that traffic cameras now youdon't even have to have officers flashing lights
now, like to your point there, you'll just get a ticket in the

(21:22):
mail, right six twenty two.Now, we try to stay in our
lane with classic rock. But amonumental shift in the broadcast world of Bruins
hockey. We'll talk about it next. Let's getting young Pete McKenzie, heather
Ford and well, the excitement andthe anticipation of the NHL Playoffs twenty twenty
four. Boston Bruins limped to thefinish with those back to back losses.

(21:47):
Another one last night to Ottawa thefinal regular season game three to one at
the Garden was the final. Anotheranother loss to end the season. Well,
they lose the Atlantic Division because yeah, Florida Panthers take the Atlanta All
they had to do was win oneof those two games. Yeah. So
the Panthers finished with one hundred andten points, runs with one hundred and
nine. But you know what,I'm glad that the Bruins didn't win the

(22:07):
President's Cup and have the most pointsoverall like they did last year, because
we know that's a curse. Wesaw what happened last year. Work out.
I mean, when's the last President'sCup team advanced all the way to
the Stanley Cup Finals. I don'tcan't tell you. I couldn't tell you
either. I don't know if it'seven happened. I can remember so many
times where an eighth seed is knockedoff a one seed in the first round
of the playoffs. Yeah. Well, they asked Monty after the game,

(22:32):
Coach Montgomery about how, you know, how the team feels, you know,
kind of limping to the finish,As I said, disappointed in it,
but I do like the fact thatwe got better every period and our
third period was a good brand ofhockey. Something for us to you know,
be confident about going into our preparationfor playoffs. It's you know,
it's a team that's going to beformidable, but they will have to play

(22:53):
the Toronto Maple Leafs and that's alwaysa rival. Leaves eh Leaves say it's
game one on Saturday. Look atthat jumping right into it. I do
love this time of year, though, you know, there's nothing like that
NHL playoffs, Oh man, Imean either when the casual fans jump on
the wagon. Other sports talk aboutkicking it up a notch. It does
happen, but not like hockey.It's just a totally different ballgame. Well,

(23:18):
Bruins lost last night to wrap upthe regular season. I easily to
say that it was overshadowed by theannouncement coming out of mister Jack Edwards,
Bruin's pay by play announcer for thelast nineteen years in an institution for Bruins
hockey for almost two decades, rightfront of the show for a decade.
Right another, I mean we hadhim on for several seasons and be sure

(23:41):
that he and John Keller are mytwo boyfriends and Tim Yes, yeah,
Jack Edwards and Shohn. Yeah,he had some great calls over the year's
no question about it, for sure, for sure. And you know after
the game last night, everyone cameon to express their gratitude and their thanks
to Jack Edwards, who's now retiredessentially after that two decade long career.

(24:03):
And by the way, Edwards tooka lot of heat from I know,
a lot of Boston Bruins fans anda lot of Boston Bruins fans that I
talked to didn't like him. ButI will tell you what, he did
a great job and he was rewardedwith a an arena full of love last
night. I mean there were nonot even a smattering of a boo.

(24:25):
Yeah Jack Edwards, I I know, I know, And I think the
most love might have come from histeammate and booth partner Andrew Brickley. So
brick after the game ran it tohim in the lobby of the hotel in
Washington. The first thing he justsaid, you know, we got to
sit down and chat. I said, what's up? He said, I'm
going to retire, and it justkind of floored me. And for the
last twenty four hours, it's justbeen you know, a flood of memories

(24:45):
and emotions. You know, Ican't help but feel a sense of loss.
Yet I want to celebrate this awesomecareer that he's had, you know,
representing Nesson and the Boston Bruins andthe Bruins fan base, the organization,
everything, and it's been a truepleasure. And you know, he
always wanted the best compliment you couldgive a guy, and that is he
was a great teammate. You know, he has such a love for the
game and he respects the game.And he never wanted to be vanilla.

(25:10):
That was the thing that he hatedmost in the job that he had,
that he would never be vanilla.He would have an opinion no, no.
But and then you know, Jackcame on the broadcast too at the
end to say a few things anduh, just saying true true to himself
and his personality. I am spontaneousand emotional and it's too late to change.

(25:36):
So good luck Jack Edwards in yourfuture endeavors. And uh, thanks
for all the great calls, Thanksfor the memory. Yeah, losing all
our play by play voices. What'sgoing on? I know Gorman's gonna be
retiring a broadcaster. And then whowas this dude Sterling you texted me about,
you know, John Sterling or weused to have Oh that guy.

(25:57):
Yeah, it's fun when you talk. Yeah, it is a good guy.
When we were there, a womanstarted working with him at the same
time. To remember that, itwas like a big deal. Oh yeah,
that's right, that's right. Butyeah, I mean we're losing all
our you know, Doc Emerck's gone, you know, Jim Nantz. You
know, his voice has been youknow, reduced. He's not doing as

(26:18):
many games. Joe Buck if youlike him, he's not working as much.
Jerry Remy for obvious reasons. Yeah, right, I mean, all

(27:03):
that didn't surprise anybody. I thinkthis is our best work. When talking
about the new album dark Man,thirty two years of Pearl Jam, twelve
albums and they found yet another newproducer for this record, Eddie Vedder went
on to say, feel like wehave an a step our sleeve. Producer's
name is Andrew Watt, who's knownfor reviving the careers of Ozzy Osbourne in

(27:26):
the studio, Iggy Pop, theStones. It's also worked with pop artists
like Miley Cyrus and Dua Lipa.This Andrew Watt, so he knows a
thing or two about I guess sellingrecords, this producer. But Eddie Vetter
said, yeah, it feels it'sa strong record and I can't wait for
everybody here. So it's out thisweek, and we'll have the premiere for
you. Meanwhile, as they youget to get familiar with that record,

(27:48):
because when they come to Fenway lateron this summer, you got to be
ready for those new songs, allright. Meanwhile, speaking of live music,
Fenway, right behind America's most belovedballpark is the MGM Music Hall f
Way coming up at eight forty todayis we've been doing all week in our
Classic Rock Clash. Score your ticketto rock to another legendary act. They
go by the name of cheap Trick. So Pete, you're stepping into rotation

(28:10):
today. You will have an opportunityto win those if you get three out
of five questions correct in the ClassicRock Clash. As simple as that,
listener, I will warn you.When I came in today, Pete was
at his desk and he had somesort of a volume and encyclopedia, a
book if you will. It seemedto have classic rock factoids right on my
resources. Kenny, that's right,professional, that's right. You checked out.

(28:33):
You checked a book out from theCollege of Classic Rock Knowledge, mostly
because I don't know that much aboutit. That's right. You got to
watch Pete. He does a lotof fancy book learning from Time to Day
from the Planet Fitness WCLX Studios.Now, thanks for making us part of
your Morning Lines with Heather People.A great story on CLX Boston. I

(28:56):
might give anything to go back toclown hysteria. Yes, a moment where
like weird looking clowns would, yeah, would show up places. Oh I
remember those random clownings, right,you know those were the you know,
that's kind of crime. I canhandle. It's not really a crime.
It's just kind of weird and what'sgoing on, or even like bath salt
zombie things like someone's face was bitoff, you know, because those happened

(29:19):
in Florida anyway, those were kindof like specific to an area for some
strange reason. But I was notprepared for years and years of armed robberies
of postal workers. No, no, right, not just never, like
like you give a card, aChristmas card to holiday cards to your postal

(29:41):
worker. You know, you knowtheir name and you see them all the
time, and they're like like sinceyou were a child, it's a worker.
Yeah, Hey, how's it going, Not like hey, put your
hands up and give me your keys, right, Like like Kenny said,
you know their biggest fear was adog or maybe an aggressive driver, distracted
drivers. Well wait, those arestill their problems. Yeah, but now

(30:04):
you add on to the fact thatthey're being robbed at gunpoint, like in
Nashville, New Hampshire. That videothat was caught on a ring doorbells horrifying.
There's a guy holding up a posterworker, there's another guy behind him,
and then there's a woman they thinkdriving the getaway car. Like that's
that's like high noon, that's likebroad daylight in a residential area. That's

(30:26):
scary. That's you think you're gettingshot. And you said the postal work
when you watch the video, heknows exactly what to do. He knows
that what they're there for. Ohyeah, not to take his car or
his wallet. No, they're therefor his keys to the blue mailbox and
the nose. Because it keeps happeningover and over again, the perpetrator knows

(30:47):
exactly what to ask for, andthe postal worker knows exactly what he wants.
It seems organized. I'm not accusingthe postal worker at all. Oh
god, no, I know whatyou're saying. No, but you know
what I mean. Oh yeah,oh yeah, you don't want to put
his life in danger for the wow. We would no way. We just
had that little girl here in Medfordand her friend at school come up with

(31:07):
the idea of giving postal workers whistlesso they could blow the whistle. But
if this guy had blown a whistle, he probably would have probably would have
been shop anyway. So people inthe area, neighbors of the home,
and that this happened in front ofthis is not is not what they expect.
Everybody's losing their peace of mind knowingthat this person is still out there.
You know, I have four kidson my own. There's plenty of

(31:30):
other children that are outside here ona daily basis, day in day out.
We moved here about six months agojust because it was quiet, calm,
comfortable neighborhood. And so it's reallyscary because now it's like, are
we safe? And I think Godthat nobody had to find out or you
know, suffer from any consequences,because these are people's livelihoods. That's why
I was picked, they said.I mean, they think because it was

(31:52):
so quiet, residential out in themiddle of nowhere. But again, if
he had fired that gun and ithad missed, the postal worker and hit
a child who was playing, orhit the postal worker and fired another one
and hit a child. I mean, they're just not expecting armed robbery there
the Karen Reid case. I knowthat. So this morning when I woke
up, I mentioned it. Whenwe first started the show, I had

(32:13):
such a bad migraine that I didn'tremember the stories I sent to you.
So as I was reviewing my ownnotes that I wrote myself, I noticed
that I had seen Karen Reid onevery website I looked at. And now
because of people like me who refuseto pay attention to the Karen Reid case,

(32:34):
even though I'm supposed to happily doheadlines about what's going on in the
area, and it's a huge story. They all have stories where click here
to get a to get an ideaof what this whole Karen Reid case is
about. They're all doing like catchup stories, like timelines. Right,
I still haven't clicked on anything.The big boulders start starting to roll now
because you're getting closer to the tribalbecause they're you know, they found it

(32:58):
more difficult to find Jersey for theKaren Reid case than Donald Trump in New
York City, just say they've gotseven for him and four for Karen.
My thought is, and I'm prettysure this is what I was thinking this
morning. They should just look forpeople who only exclusively listen to this show
because they're getting no information. Itthere going. These are your ideal jurors.

(33:22):
These are the people that are gettingnothing, know nothing, and want
to know nothing. An ideal juror, I would except I say her name
all the time, but that's it. You don't know anything about the case.
I mean, the things I doknow I already forgot and I don't
want to pay attention to. Ican't explain why I find no interest in
this when everyone else absolutely is enthralledby it. I can't oh local news.

(33:45):
I know, I know. I'mwith you. Xeelex. Weather sun
and clouds with highs in the midfifties near the coast, hies in the
sixties Inland. Mostly cloudy tomorrow witha shower and spots in the afternoon.
I have fifty forty four degrees inBoston. I'm Heather Ford on one hundred
point seven w z LX, Boston'sClassic Rock seven twenty two forty three.

(34:07):
It's way up to the mid fiftieshere in the city in the coast,
but a little warmer inland, SkinnyYoung Pete Mackenzie, heather Ford. Tax
Day for most I should say Ilove the memes that come out around this
time, too, like the IRSexplaining how taxes worked to the average American.
Here, the IRS, you alwaystaxes. How much do I owe?

(34:27):
Well, you get to figure thatout. Can I just pay what
I want? No, the IRSsays, we know exactly how much you
owe, but you have to guessthe number. Two. What if I
guess wrong, says the taxpayer,I r s, you go to jail.
Well, they don't know, butthey can. They can find out
afterwards if they think you've messed around. Remember when they taught us how to
do our taxes in high school?Oh wait, they didn't. That's right.

(34:49):
I learned class too much pressure ifyou get it wrong. Yeah,
I don't want to get wrong,so I'll pay somebody to do it.
So now I got to pay mytaxes and pay somebody to do my taxes.
Right. Well, I grew upin a family of accountants, but
I don't. But we learned inhomech so I took every shop class that
was offered in school. I hatedstudies really. Class featured pans and pots,

(35:12):
bag and you guys are thinking onehome at class. I took every
shop class, so I learned wood, metal, whatever. And I took
every home at class that was offered. And there were I think five or
six of them. One of themwas so good for no, no,
but one of them was. Oneof them was about family life. Uh,
you know jobs, So you tooktests on what I thought your best

(35:32):
job was going to be. Youlearned about check books, you learned about
taxes. Wow, that was notoffered in my curriculum. I could make
a hell of a gumball machine inwood class. Type in class, I
learned how to type. I tooka type in class. Yeah, that
was fun. Metal class. Ilearned to make a chisel, made it
a chisel in metal class. Metalshop. I still have the thing,

(35:53):
the fire poker that we made.Never took one shopper. Metal. Wood
shop was my favorite, the best. We had a great wood show.
Plus I got to use a drillpress that was fun. Hot burning wood.
Yeah. Yeah, you want toknow something funny, Kenny, You
mentioned it drill pressure. So Ididn't take woodshot. My grandfather built his
own drill press. Wow, youstill have to have like an old lawnmower

(36:15):
engine that he hooked up twitter Hewell, he worked in a steel mill
right in Pennsylvania and he would bringthings home from the steel mill to build
this drill pear. He got itone piece at a time. We're thinking
about putting it in the Smithsonian.Well, Johnny cash reference for you.
Well, today being tax day,finances are on the mind. And with

(36:35):
this week, you know, werelaunched a thousand dollars bribe just in time
to help settle a few of yourfinancial woes. Right, so thirteen grand
is paid off. We bribe youto listen to the rock and roll radio
station thirteen times every weekday. Soyour first shot at a grand coming up
at nine ten this morning. Andagain we make it as simple as possible.
We don't want you to do anyheavy lifting or fill out any massive

(36:57):
forms like your taxes. So atnine ten, hear that first keyword we
drop on you just enter it onlinewzx dot com. That is, if
you'd like a thousand bucks. Andhere's another way to explain it. One
voice of w ZLX, Boston's onlyclassic rock morning show. Sorry if I
came in a little hot there FleetwoodMax got me all fired up. I
guess seven thirty eight here on thisWednesday morning, get a young Pete McKenzie

(37:17):
heather Ford. Would you look atthe time, Look just look at what
time it is. What's going onwith Boston's only classic rock morning show on
one point seven w ZLX. Sothis call I got from my neighbor in
Ohio. He lives across the streetwhere we have a house being renovated there

(37:39):
right, your retirement home. Yes, so I'm going to start with the
end of the story because I didn'tsee it coming, to be honest with
it. But at the end ofhis conversation he told me that a county
adjacent to the one that we're inin Ohio, the sheriff of the county

(37:59):
called to town meeting and told allthe residents that I want to offer free
gun safety training to all my residents. And the reason being is because all
are firing guns off willy nilly.Well, the reason being is because things
are happening, you know, andthey just don't have the law enforcement in

(38:22):
that county. If something, ifyou know, things go awry, Oh
it wasn't because people are just firingguns. No, no homeowners to protect
their selves and their property because wewon't be able to protect you. They
don't have enough man We don't havethe manpower. Okay, so you know,
learn how to use a gun toprotect yourself. Basically is what this

(38:43):
sheriff of this county is saying.Right. So that's the end of the
story. The beginning of the phonecall starts this way. My neighbor says,
Pete, can I ask you afavor? And I'm like, whatever
you want? And this guy doesanything for me. I can borrow any
tool that I need when I'm there. He's got advice. He's a seventy
five year old retiree. He's aex marine, and well I guess once

(39:07):
a marine, always a marine,right, So I said, yeah,
sure, John, what is it? He goes, you guys are away
quite a bit, and you knowI live right across the street. I
see the activity going on with thework being done on the house, this,
that and the other thing. Butwould you mind when when you're not
here, if I parked my truckin your driveway, that's great, just

(39:28):
to make it look like somebody's there. Good looking out. I said,
John, that's thank you very much'that'd be awesome because he's worried about it
getting squatted. And also, getthose lights that turn on at a certain
time, you know, just dohave that are right there? You go,
Yeah, I already have the timerlights. Yeah. Yeah. And
sometimes with a renovation like that wouldbe squatters will target those properties because they

(39:51):
know no one's living there or forthe most part. And I thought,
you know what, thank you verymuch. And then I thought to myself,
you know, I know he's anex marine. Wink wink, John,
are you armored over there? Youarmed? You have your armory?
Do you have a suit of armor? He's like two, why you know,
and he rattles off six or sevenweapons that he has. Okay,

(40:12):
and I'm like, you know,I've never shot it. Well, I've
never gone to a training facility andshot a gun. He goes, next
time you're here, well, i'lltake you out, and well i'll teach
you safety first and how to operatea weapon and this and that and the
other thing. He goes. Becauseof the squatter conversation, he goes,
you know, I'm thinking about gettinggrenades. And he said it, oh,

(40:35):
if I wish I could have seenhis face, because I don't know
if it was tongue in cheek ornot. I'm not sure. Hey,
I know, and then is byno means too old for anything, especially
for learning things. But maybe yougo and learn from someone younger who might
not have a jitterary finger when yourgun safe. These guys, I understand,
there's nothing jittery about this guy.Believe me, he's he's he's like

(41:00):
my age, you know, That'swhat he looks like to me. He
looks like he's my age, andhe's fifteen years older. I understand Clinton
mentally, Heather mentally, I mightquestion what's going on over day. That's
why may maybe go just I mean, if you really want to do it,
go go take a real class.So should I not have said to
him, I'll go in on thatbox of grenades with no. Please,

(41:22):
don't. We're gonna put we're gonnaput bear traps around your property. Make
sure you tell the contractors. I'mglad the guy's got an eye on the
place. That's all I get said. Bad that you have a county next
to you where there's someone who's tryingto drum up hysterio es. Right,
there's nothing like someone to an entirecommunity. What do you mean, Hollywood's
doing it to the entire country withCivil War? But that but that's a

(41:44):
movie that's like saying aliens of Hollywood'sdoing that with aliens. This is an
actual sheriff. I mean, that'sa person that's a sheriff. That's not
Hollywood. No one takes Hollywood man. I'll tell you the next four or
five six months, let's get throughit. Huh. I'll tell you what
about that. It's good that youhave that neighbor on your side, you
know what I mean? Because hekind of sounds like a get off my

(42:06):
laws. I'm sure he's chased afew kids off his line one time.
Yeah, exactly, he's not.He's not putting up with no egg and
and no toilet paper in the tree. You stay on his good side,
that's right. Would you be mine? Could you be mine? QB,
my neighbor, your neighbors here atZX aren't we from the Planet Fitness?

(42:27):
W CLX Studios, Horizon Now Now, thanks for making us part of your
morning head lines with Heather Idiot.Great story, Thank god. On one
point seven WCLX Boss it now thatI want to talk about something that happened
two days ago. But real quick, the one headline on CVB that I
saw this morning, No, thisis busy. Sorry. Marathon Winter fights
for one hundred thousand dollars prize moneyafter ten years. Oh, there was

(42:51):
a female that came in second andshe said, by coming in second,
she because I lost my I don'tknow what it was, but basically her
running career ended at that point,like she had a win the race,
and she said, but that wasthe one where the woman was the first
place finisher was found to have drugsin her system. Oh and so then
the first place, right, thefirst place person, they are no longer

(43:12):
first place, and everybody moves upone. Well, they've never got the
money back from the first place person. And I'm thinking to myself, well
that shouldn't matter. You should bethe Boston Marathon should be working to get
that money back. But then shouldalso pay out the woman that won.
Huh, right, they pay out, They should pay out and then recover
the money. Yeah, that's usuallyhow it works, isn't it. Yeah,

(43:34):
So now this the woman who thinksit does that's been going on for
ten years. Oh, Wow,I just I just I haven't read enough
to like really get into it.But I thought to myself, that seems
like that's the one tarnishy kind ofthing going along with the marathon, like
pay her and then or don't testpeople for drugs. They just decide you're

(43:55):
gonna let people do it please.You either have an all drug race and
a nor race just a Major Leaguebaseball So the other thing I was looking
at and I don't I'm not goingto get too far into it. But
there was a rest made after aman was seen throwing flammable objects into a
home. So, and this wasin Boston in Mattapan, a neighborhood.

(44:16):
Uh, someone threw a flammable objectinto a house Tuesday afternoon, causing a
fire. It happened at one inthe afternoon on West Main Street. Okay,
So, according to the witness,the man was carrying a brown paper
bag and a red pole, usedthe pole to break the window and he
threw the bag. And so thewoman who lived inside the house happened to
be streaming live on social media atthe time. She was on her back

(44:38):
deck and captured the moment from herof her front Yes, she was doing
Facebook Live, and she said thatshe knows who it was. She said
it was a childhood friend. Right, So then I thought to myself,
think back, let's all think forone second. Do you have a childhood
friend that would do this to yourhouse? Wow? You came up with
that way too fast. He'd bethe one. Wow a great name it

(45:01):
is. And because you and becauseyou didn't grow up here, you can
throw them out like that. Idon't. I don't know if I have
a childhood friend that I think wouldbash in my window and throw something on
fire inside of my house like thatsounds. It would be him or Billy
Mariner. He'd be the you hadtwo people in your life where you were

(45:23):
I was, but people are throwingtrouble makers. Wow, we had trouble
makers. But I haven't seen himin over thirty five years. So I
don't think anyone would mess with mystuff, I know, But I mean
if you did, the point is, like you you're not thinking about them
anymore, but all of a suddenthey show back up with a red pole
and a bag full of fire.I mean, it just sounds so weird.

(45:44):
If any of you are looking tofigure out more about the Karen Reid
case. You can't avoid it anymoreunless wait, anytime you're going to mention
the Karen Reid case. We gotto do the proper right, right,
Except I I have looked at everywebsite now and now all of the news
stations are heavy in on Karen Reid. And not only heavy in, but

(46:04):
they know there are people like meand the two of you who don't care
about it, but we should.And they have articles that you can click
on that said catch up, youknow, like find out what's really going
on, beyah, get a timelineof the Karen Reid case. I care
that Officer o'keith lost his life,but I'm more curious as to how that
happened because there's so many like,there's so many gray areas in this thing.

(46:28):
It's so weird. And plus Idon't know all the facts. Well
I don't know either. And eventhough all of those articles popped up this
morning, ask me how many Iclicked on, I'll tell you I won't
wait for it. Zero I clickedon zero Karen read articles. Still,
So what did I write to youguys in my text this morning? I
think I just texted you her name? Is it? Like I didn't.
Usually I text you know what I'mgoing to talk about, and and like

(46:51):
maybe a little bit about it,Like postal worker, I put robbery,
I put marathon, but then Iput controversy. I put Manthros and CINDERI
a device to home and a pan. But for Karen Reid, I just
wrote Karen Reid because I have nothing. And by the way, a former
president on trial in the city ofNew York he has. They've they've been

(47:14):
able to pick out seven jurors sofar in Karen Reid's case, only four.
So apparently more people know about KarenReid around here than about what Donald
Trump is accused of in New YorkCity. Just keep keep that in mind.
It's it's taking a while. Yousaid you had like a I mean,
do we need experts to tell usanything? This is a professor from

(47:36):
bu just to describe. I thinkhe's got a good explanation as to why
you may know something about the caseand still be a jore. Oh that's
what I like, Maybe I'll getcalled in. Yeah, if they go
through everybody. Yeah, I mean, like, like you say, it's
so widely known, how do youthey need me? I know nothing?
They need eight more and four alternates. But here's so Yeah, here's what

(47:57):
Daniel Medweed was that his name fromNortheastern Yes, you pretty much have to
be living under a rock or notin Boston to not have heard of the
Karen Reid case. So the questionis you'll find people who are familiar with
the case, but at least havethe ability or claim to have the ability
to keep an open mind. Yeah, that's me. The best people to
choose from for the Karen Reid caseare people who only exclusively listen to this

(48:22):
station and look nowhere else because we'vegiven you nothing. I mean absolutely nothing.
I've tried, and I just I'vefailed. Z Lex weather sun and
clouds with highs in the mid fiftiesnear the coast, ties in the sixties

It's Kenny Young Pee McKenzie heather Fordeight twenty three. Now. Weapon of
choice is an animal. Man goesinto a convenience store to rob it with
an animal. He's using an animalas his weapon of choice. Wow,
wolverine? Hmmm, a badger,a honey badger. He doesn't give a

(49:28):
well, it's a reptile. Mondaymorning, around two am, Cook walked
into this store on Elvis Presley andmade a purchase. Thirty minutes later,
he came back demanding money from theregister. When he didn't get the money
he wanted, he slithered back infor a third time, this time with
a five foot snake around his neck. Say give me the expetive money.

(49:50):
The owner didn't want to go oncamera, but says in his fifteen years
here he's never encountered anything like this. This appears to be Cook's first offense.
He's now charged with two counts ofa tinted aggravated robbery. You're you're
holding the reptile. You're holding thesnake by the tail and whipping it around
in a circle right when you walkin there to rob it? Or is

(50:10):
he throwing it at him? Areyou throwing it at him? Constrict?
Constrict? I will you know what, I'll give his family credit. This
guy, he was twenty six yearsold. He's arrested the robbery. They
caught him. But I'll give theyeah, the robber. I give the
family credit because they came forward andsaid they would pay for any damages that
he did at the store. Right, Oh, how often you hear that?

(50:32):
I stepped up. Guy's twenty six. He's not a kid, right,
that's that's a that's a full grownman, you know. And the
family, his parents stepped up andsaid, look, we'll pay for any
damages. You know, they're takingthe responsibility for their action as their kid.
He held him at snake point,sake point. He held him at
snake point and said, give methe expetive money, the expetitive money.

Sunday, the one hundredth performance ofBilly Joel Maison Square Garden, record breaking

historical performance at CBS got ahead ofthe other networks and said, hey,

promptly cut it off during Piano Manand the Internet and the fandom of Billy

So it's okay. I understand.It's Kady Young, Pete McKenzie,

(57:37):
when I first saw it on theGRAM, and I promptly forwarded it to
you people. Big friend of theshow, Jack Edwards, a voice of
the Bruins for nearly twenty years,stepping down. Yeah. In fact,
both are winter sports teams losing theirTV play by play guys with Gorman retiring.
With Gorman, yeah, so he'lldo some of the Celtics games in

(57:58):
the first round. Right then Jackwill do some of the Bruins games in
the first round and then that'll beit for both of them. So we
were pretty close with Jack Edwards forquite a while and we had him on
the show regularly once in a whileduring the season. I'd shoot him a
text, you know, during theBruins game and comment on the game,

(58:20):
and he text me back. Youknow, recently, i'd been leaving him
alone, you know, let himdo his thing. Yeah, he's been
We all know he's been struggling,you know, with his play by play
call. So I texted him.I actually emailed him this morning. You
know, love you, Jack,missed having you on this year. Thanks

(58:42):
for all you did. Appreciate allof your quality calls over the years.

a homer. And I said bestto you and your family. And by
the way, Heather loves you too. Yeah. Well I used to tease
him pretty hard on there, likeyou could tell he was blushing right,

(59:06):
especially about the loins, right,remember that, Jack, Well, they're
tender tender loins. So Jack gotback and he said, thanks Pete.
The outpouring of love, overwhelming.It was so fun to come on your
show. You guys do such agreat job. I don't know how you
do it every single day. Mybest to you and yours and that includes

(59:28):
Heathery and and your tender. Luin'sgreat guy, great guy. I wish
him all the best and I hopehe has some great opportunities to make some
awesome calls in the first round ofthe playoffs. Yeah, on which the
Bruins will take on the Leaves.Eh uh. And incidentally, before we
get to this this highlight package,you put together a little something for Jack

(59:50):
here. But before we get tothat, I wanted to just rattle off
this that I saw on Roachie's post. The Bruins have won each of the
last six playoffs series against the Leafs, dating back to a quarterfinals in nineteen
sixty nine. He goes on tosay the Bruins are only one of four
teams to win six consecutive playoff seriesagainst one franchise. Oh my god.

(01:00:14):
So you know, it's excited asLeash fans might be that their team's in.
They're playing the Bruins lease eh Leaveseh. Yeah. So again,
this is going to be a swansong of sorts. But you'll hear at
the end of the package. Herea nice tip of the cap to the
maple leafs from Jack Edwards here.But yeah, here's Jack in his own
words. Right then, Welcome toanother world tour of the who has more

(01:00:38):

his motion and his heart and uhand one more piece of gold here on

from that man. It's one hundredpoint seven w CLX, Boston's only classic

(01:01:47):
rock morning show, Anny Young,Pete McKenzie, heather Ford. Yeah,
if I want to have pudding forsupper, That's what I'm gonna have.
I'm grown ass adult. I thinkI've earned that right. You know what
I came across in the refrigerator yesterday, little jello from when I was getting
my colonoscopy, and that's all Icould eat was jello. Oh yeah,
it's only been in there eight days. That's still good, right, I
think jello lasts for a long time. Yeah, I think so too.

(01:02:08):
Shelf life. It didn't have anyvirtually suspended fruit in it, did it.
It did not, Kenny, No, that's right, because you were
down to the liquids pure lemon jello, which I'd never had before. Lemon
jello. That always reminds me whenyou say lemon gello. When we were
in high school and you post forthe senior yearbook photos, it was customary
to go in as an underclassman witha fake name. I might have told

(01:02:30):
you this before. No, Idon't think there was a kid who I
named I'll leave out. But hewent in as an underclassman with the name
and made the goofiest face you canimagine to fool the yearbook people. And
he went in under the name Peterlemonjello, and they printed it that way,
and they spelled it out and nobodypicked up on it, and it
was spelled exactly like it sounds legendin the yearbook industry. That might be

(01:02:52):
why by the time I got there, there were appointments. You could only
go get your senior. You hadan appointment by your name to go in.
Yeah, and then you showed up. Wow, I didn't just show
up yourself. They didn't do anybackground checks. And I remember asking the
kid after the back I'm like,dude, how'd you get away with that?
He goes because I pronounced it lomAngelo is Italian? Very nice.

(01:03:15):
