Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Let's do this fast when you savethumps. I wake up every morning Boston's
only classic rock morning show, Ilook at myself in the mirror and I
go, maybe I'm dreamer. AbI a week creaming nine as Leek with
Pete McKenzie. I'm still vomit beforeevery show. Other Ford un feel dirty
and unsatisfied. And Kenny Yung Yeah, let's get crazy. In other words,

(00:24):
I'm crazy on one hundred point seven. I want you to go hard,
fast, heavy, get to it. Here's to the future. Will
you see lex Oh look at thatfive point thirty on the nose punctual for
the ohs, those of you keepingscore at home on this Tuesday, the
twenty third of April, forty degrees. My name is Kenny On. In
the summer of nineteen ninety six,I was working at a rock station on

(00:47):
the rock and roll ride home.Essentially, I got to listen to rock
and roll, interview rock stars,and go to rock concerts and get paid
for that, and do a coupleof sports casts. Oh it was more
like ninety seven, but yeah,yeah, all of those things were true
at one time or another. Alife in classic rock for Kenny Young,
Yeah, hard, out on thestreets here for Heather Forward. Good morning.

(01:11):
I guess time has come to crowdour. Queek made my decision the
winner America's next Superstar is Heather Fordexactly, Rufeaul, I needed an introduction.
Yeah, it's really the last thingI do every day look for these

(01:34):
introductions, Rupe Paul's always good fora quote or two. Sure, so
is Pete McKenzie. They want todo something totally different. They want to
change the whole paradigm of broadcasting.Yeah. I don't know when those started.
By the way, I feel likethe show additional show opens like,
I feel like they were they occasionallyhappened where they there was one for the

(01:57):
whole show, and then they sortof happened where there was one person at
a time. But I feel like, only since you've been here have they
been with every person. So ifyou didn't want to do them when I
came along, you know what Imean. When I came along in twenty
twenty day one, I was toldthat, yeah, there was the additional

(02:19):
show opens to the actual opening ofthe show every day, and then there
was also another show show open thatpreceded the introductions. So I feel like
it started then. Yeah, Imean, yeah, I was always doing
them. You could end it,you know what I mean. No,
it's a lot of extra work,you know, a lot of extra work.
But it's all I'll tell you whenit started. Something else that started

(02:43):
in nineteen ninety six. I startedpulling little clips at the beginning of our
show occasionally, right, this isninety six. No, but I mean
like when I started with you guysin four. Yeah, there wasn't a
show open for everybody. No,not on a consistent basis, just the
main introduction, just that. I'mpretty sure it was after Braiden and I

(03:06):
think Jackson started doing it on aconsistent basis. Braiden would do it here
and there, and then Jackson's andthen Mike picked up the ball. Yeah,
I don't even remember it being likethat. I know for me,
like, I didn't have one.I guess dedicated to that. That is
one of his favorite things to do. I guess that's what I'm saying is
I didn't have one. So ifyou wanted to take like you and you

(03:28):
and Kevin might have had one,but I didn't have a consistent one.
So if you wanted to take mineout, you could it wouldn't. It
wouldn't make sense. I think it'stoo much of a staple. You know,
we need that, we need thoseshow in trop well, you know,
you do it for the benefit ofthe fight club, that's all we
got it. Yeah, we gotan overworked Kenny you know well, and

(03:52):
an understaff staff. So you know, when you can when you have two
producers and one of them is solelyputting in clips like that blences things out.
Yeah. Yet it's a high performingradio station in this building, I
mean, in this company, itis one of the finest performing stations we
have. They give us anything,not the best looking. Why change anything?

(04:14):
Yeah, right, it's working,you know maybe, I mean it
seems to be. I found one. I just want you to know.
I had a really hard time findingstories this morning, so did we.
Yeah, I went to three differentsources. I'm living on my life hard.
Today. Today's show all right,good because today there's nothing fun.
News was filled with Yeah, andeven the ones that weren't just not fun,

(04:35):
weren't even worth talking about. GalecBaldwin's story that wasn't fun. I
didn't even see that. Yeah,what is it? He got accosted by
some you know person with the phone, you know, trying to rile him
up. Kevin did that to himat the Super Bowl, and he did
it, you know, they thisperson riled him up to the point where
he knocked the phone out of theperson's hand. But it's not even worth
airing. No, he's a tinylittle person anyway. So so while looking,

(05:00):
I'm just going to give you somethingthat I thought was interesting that's not
even related to the Boston area,more like the country. I know you're
you're traveling today. You got yourAmerica shirt on. We're all feeling it.
And so I found a story aboutGeorge Washington's home. Have we all
been to Mount Vernon? I haven'tbeen there, Okay, fantastic went there

(05:21):
with the girls Scouts. My dadused to take us on vacations to Washington,
d C. That was like ourtrip was to go there and drive
around all the free because all themuseums are free, you know, go
to all the museums and it waslike a cheap vacation capital and blah blah
blah. So anyway, they havepeople that do like archaeological digs there because

(05:44):
it's old and blah blah blah.One of the things that they found the
other day. Was the guy wasjust kind of, you know, moving
some dirt, found a bottle,got closer and realized that it wasn't just
a fragment like most of the bottlesthere, and then pushed the cork and
stuck his finger in it. Itcame out wet. Turns out it was
bottles of cherries that had been therefor hundreds of years, fermenting. Well,

(06:08):
I don't know, but the firstthing, what is the first thing
your mind thinks of when you thinkGeorge Washington home cherries, the cherry cherry
tree, mip. Yeah, AndI was thinking to myself, of all
the things they could find buried inMount Vernon, how appropriate, bye right,
how appropriate that it's bottles of cherries? And then my brain again,
because there's no good stories to talkabout, went straight to why didn't I

(06:30):
do that for a living? Whydidn't I become an archaeologist and just sit
on the floor and like move dirtaround because they don't make any money?
And yeah, but I didn't hearfor a really long I was making thirty
five thousand dollars a year year foryears, and that was in Boston.
So I don't know if I'd havebeen making that much more as an archaeologist

(06:50):
in your forties. There's still timeto change your year factory. Every day
I wake up now and I sayto John, like I whispered as here
I go, waking up this earlyis killing me. Please please give me
an option. Yes, we knowthat that is the case. Well,
if you're contemplating a career in archaeology, how do you look in a Panama
hat. I don't look in apanama hat and a leather jack. I

(07:13):
only looked in a baseball cap.Honest, I mean cockies. Cockies they
know you can pull off, orkhakis however you want to say, Actually
I like cocky better. It's thePanama hat that seals the deal for that
job. I've tried all hats,to be honest. I go into stores
and I put one on. I'mlike, oh maybe the Nope, just
a baseball cap. Every hat looksridiculous on me. I don't have that
kind of How about a mini pearl? You know what the price tag hanging

(07:34):
down? No, I don't evenknow what that is. Anyway one person
will get that reference. I wentall the way around what our news stories
were just to give you that GeorgeWashington story, and I think it's one
of the things that you, asa listener will remember today. Well,
I'll remember that because I'm thinking maybehe was trying to make like some sort
of cherry moonshine bottles of cherries zelexweather mostly sunny in sixties today I would

(07:59):
have tried one of them. Bythe way, mostly cloudy with a couple
of showers tomorrow, high round sixtyforty degrees in Boston. I'm heather Ford
on one hundred point seven w zLX, Boston's only classic rock morning show.
A little local rock and roll foryou, right, it's Ketty Young,
Pete and Kenzie heather Ford five fortythree. Well, I told you
the five point thirty Club would reachout about those intros we do every day?

(08:20):
Be right, what up? No, guys, don't change up the
thing. Please. Everything you guysdo is just perfect, be right out.
Everything we do is perfect. Everylittle thing she does is magic.
Well, thanks b ry So,we will. We'll keep those intros in
all right, I know. Andthe spicest things up each day. Adds
a little color to this show,right, a little color commentary. And

(08:43):
by the way, Kenny from thethree three nine. A texture said that
I'm not the only one that remembersMini Pearl, and I'm only fifty three
from the three three nine. Iremember that as a kid. Yeah,
you know, it's funny. Justout of the blue and pulled the Mini
Pearl reference with the hat and sureenough the talkbacks are coming. Good morning
five thirty club and morning crew.It's Brian from Westford. Hey, Katy,

(09:05):
I remember Minnie Pearl. How,oh my god, obscure references.
Yes, it's like I said fivepoint forty four. Here you could use
the talkback feature interact with the show, comments, suggestions, requests, what
have you. It's like a suggestionbox. Yeah. When you open the
eyeheart app, we always tell youthere's that little red microphone button you tap

(09:28):
that you can record your sale.I saw this which set a new record
and it got me thinking, whenwas the last time I put a wristwatch
on? I notice you guys don'twear wristwatches. My brother in law is
the last time you were a wristwatch? My brother in law has a half
a dozen wristwatches. Where's one everyday? My son in law has two
or three? Where's one every day? I haven't worn a wristwatch since I

(09:50):
was probably in grade school. Youknow. I did buy one on the
one cruise that we went on,and it's sitting in my drawer and I'll
have to do it shake it oncein a while. It's automatic wine.
Wow, what a Yeah, Idon't. I don't wear a wristwatch.
Yeah, I mean ever since Igot a cell phone in two thousand.
Thing, isn't it four or five? I really haven't worn one. I

(10:13):
loved mine. Well. I waswearing an Apple watch until it calling nine
on one. It's like two weeksago and I took it off. I
haven't put it on since. SoI was wearing one. But that's different.
I mean it's like a little phoneon your wrist. But I wore
a wristwatch probably until this last batterywent out, right in twenty twenty.
Yeah, I had a John boughtme a little bull of a little Lady

(10:37):
Bolivar. Yeah, he has twoof those, so you know that he
wears will to be manufactured right hereI think in Summerville. Oh yeah,
yeah. The women's wristwatch always crackedme up because the face is always so
tiny. It's like smaller than adime. Well, this one was big
for a woman's one. Yeah,it was like this big. It was
the right thing. They're pretty tight. They are pretty tight. Last time
I wore a watch, and it'sfunny, I just thought about this right

(11:00):
now at this exact moment was aroundtwo thousand and three. It was the
last time we went to Vegas andwe did pretty good at like the Roulette
Wheel, and I had some somehouse money, and it was the wife
that suggested it. Hey, there'sa fossil store in here, and like
in the little mall makes great wallets. So for like sixty five bucks or
whatever, I bought a fossil watch. It was all like chrome looking,

(11:20):
you know, it was nice,but the battery kept dying. It just
wouldn't hold a battery. And solike it still sits in a box somewhere
and I really haven't worn it sincelike maybe again five six since I got
my cell phone that had a timeon it. So the reason I bring
that up is because there's a newworld record for wristwatches. The Monaco Legends
group auction this past weekend. Wewould you guess, the world record Rare

(11:45):
Rolex sold for four million. Theone of the most a little a little
below that. Actually three and ahalf million, three and a half million
dollars for this, and it wasso expensive because there's only there was only
twelve made, so they're very rareand hard to find, so this sold
at auction. The watch winner alsogot a cheese knife, a rolex cheese

(12:09):
knife that is used to open upthe watch case so you can see the
inner workings of the time piece.So there go, now that I think
about it. My son in lawbought me a watch when my when he
you know, on the day ofthe wedding, had he gave me a
watch. So I do have towatches, but I never wear it.
Have you ever taken that one outof the box. Maybe, I don't

(12:30):
even know where it is. Youshould wear one on east on each wrist,
right, and then set one slightlyoff so that way you're never late.
Right, just set them both alittle bit early, Okay, Yeah,
I set my I did set mycars always. I mean I can't
do it on this one because Ihave no ability to set it, but
I used to always set it fiveminutes to ten minutes early. Yeah,
so that I would all the time. Now I'm in a car that won't

(12:52):
let me do that. It makesme sad. I have no control,
you have no power. You know. Listen, if expensive wrist watch is
your thing, or fancy cars withclocks that don't let you adjust it is
your thing. We can help youout in that financial department. Remember coming
up at nine to ten this morning, another round of bribery continues. The
payoffs will continue until morale improves.Thousand dollars an hour every hour in the

(13:15):
tens nine ten am through nine tenpm only. It's from a Planet Fitness
WCLX Studios, Horizon Spile. Now, now, thanks for making that part
of your morning. Good lies,Heather pop Idiot, great story on one
hundred point seven WCLX Boston. Well, when searching through all of the websites
as to what what do we wantto talk about today besides Karen Reid and

(13:37):
that has you know, fifty differentsections, I do have a follow up.
We'll do it at seven o'clock aboutRemember her attorneys wanted the courtroom to
be set up differently because jurors couldn'tsee They couldn't see that, Yeah,
where the box was? They didgive an answer to that. Pete was
partly right, on it, soit made sense. The top story was

(13:58):
worked so hard for it. That'sthis is part of the headline, Massachusetts
Man's Massachusetts Man's Lexus smashed after thievescrash it during a chase. I think
this chase went near you, guys, it was. It was out that
Route nine four ninety five areas southBoro. I know that exact area.
At one point, this guy takesthe car up the wrong way on a

(14:20):
ramp. I mean, there's therewas a lot going on. But the
reason why that headline worked out thatway is because the car was stolen in
Peavity, and the guys like,I just saved all my money for this
car. It's a brand new Lexus. Jeez, was all right there.
But the thing about the brand newLexus was that it had a GPS in
it, so it was hooked upto his phone. So he was helping

(14:43):
police tell them where like his carwas, and he goes they had a
good time. That's incredible. Yeah, they went everywhere. I was upset,
but there's really nothing I could do. It wasn't in my control.
I went from Rhode islved Bro wasgoing everywhere. It went to Burger King.
I saw her seats in the car. They went to Burger King McDonald
They had a good time. Theywent to Burger King and McDonald's. So
they probably went to Burger King forthe whopper and then they had to get

(15:05):
the fries at McDonald's. Right,keep going up. Obviously, I said,
I worked so hard for it.I've only had it for like six
seven months. I put a lotof money into a lot of time,
and then it just like it ripsthe part run in front of you.
That kind of sucks. They weregoing crazy. That's not good. Putting
other people's lives in harm. That'snot right. This is Did you see
what he got back? That's whathe got back total. Did you see
the chopper coverage the chopper? Ididn't. Yeah. I thought we were

(15:28):
in California because that's the type ofstuff you see in California. I thought
it was a military chopper the waythe uh you know, the crosshairs were
on the vehicle like they're going tofire and missis right there. Yeah.
I was like, Wow, they'regoing hot tech. Yeah. Red.
Actually I'm glad you said high techbecause I thought you said something completely different
there and it started with hot Okay, I still don't know what you think.

(15:50):
I said. It took me asecond, like I was like,
what did he just? Oh?Hi tech, that's much more radio friendly
than what I thought. You said. Yeah, so, I mean that's
not how you want your day togo. Your car gets stolen, and
then you're like, was this soI don't have TV? Was this something

(16:10):
people were watching during the middle ofthe day? This this shames you don't
have TV? Not really, No, we got rid of cable and so,
but you have a TV. Wehave TV, but I can't watch
this local news. Yeah, likeyou gave me that HD antenna, Yes,
and it didn't work for a while, and then it worked right,
and that that doesn't work again.I didn't see any until this morning.

(16:32):
But it works. Like I said, look like you were in those California
high speed pursuits, right, helicoptersand add in the high tech hi tech
crosshairs. So now from now on, high tech becomes hot for me hot,
That's all I know, And thatmakes the story more fun. So
I guess does you know when youget into a car accident, you're kind

(16:52):
of liable for like things like youhave to pay even if your car is
fully paid off. And you thinkit's worth more. If someone totals your
car, they might only give youso much which will only go so far
to a new car. So forhim, does he he doesn't just get
a new car like he's just outof money. Now, that's a good
question. Someone stole his car andhe's out cast. One of the three

(17:15):
they apprehended was a juvenile, soI mean, and he had damaged a
lot of other vehicles during this wholething. So what happens to those people
that always one of the chase scenesin movies? Yeah? Right, Well
the people around the cars do,because again I had when our cars were
out front and that guy with carryingthe last truck or whatever smashed into our

(17:36):
cars. I had just paid offmy car, right, so oh it's
the worst, right, And sothe amount of money that I was going
to be given was not going tobuy me a new car. The car
was totaled, So I'm out.I guess we know the answer then from
that ex I mean, there's peoplethat are going to get for this guy.
Z X weather mostly sonny in sixtiestoday, mostly cloudy with a couple

(17:57):
of showers tomorrow, high round sixtyforty degrees in Boston. I'm heather Ford

(18:41):
here this morning Classic Rock Clash andall this week will send you to go
see the legend the road Warrior knownas George Thoroughood. He's on the road
with Fogerty. There is a dateout in Lennox at Tanglewood that he'll be
playing with Fogerty and also up inGuildford at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion.
But he's doing his own headline sethim between some of these dates at

(19:02):
our own wilber Theater here on TremontSo at eight forty in the clash you
can win win in to see misterthurg In case you're wondering why he comes
here year after year, he alwaysseems to be in New England all year
after year after year. He doeshave a home on the Cape, Oh
he does. He does have ahome on the Cape, not on one
of the islands or on the Cape. Well, just on the Cape.
He's got a home on the Cap. Now I don't know how many homes

(19:22):
he has around the country. Yeah, but he's got a residence on the
Cape. I mean every summer itseems like, yeah, he hits up
like Cape cod Melody Tent or socialmusic circus. He's always up in Guildford.
But yeah, Thorgod, he loveshim some New England. Then he
puts on a great show. Hedoes put on a great show too.
And I had the opportunity to meetthe man a couple of times, most
recently at our birthday bash when heopened for Sammy Hagar and he's got big

(19:45):
mits he does, he's got bighands, he does the George thoroughgood right,
wrapping around that Gibson neck. Soyeah, when your way in at
eight forty here this morning and theclash, if you can successfully navigate your
way through our questioning line of questioningon the way next, you don't have
to question this. The lead singerof this next band has some Boston ties,

(20:06):
as he was a former Berkeley alum. We'll hear him nextic she got
a Boston's Only classic rock morning showsix thirty one forty one, Kenny Young,
Pete McKenzie, heather Ford and somuch promise going into Game two last
night the TD Garden with our BostonBruins facing off against leaves Day, I
mean, and they got to himearly, you know, yeah, two

(20:29):
leads as a matter of fact inthat game, a fast paced first period
that was great playoff hockey the firstperiod and a half. I would even
go so far as to say Beeswere up to one in the second,
playing physical like they did last Saturdaynight, and Linas Elmark getting the call
in goal. It was a funnyline to yesterday because Monty Montgomery was asked

(20:52):
an impressor who was going to startin goal last night, and he says,
you know, I don't even tellmy wife. Why would I tell
you? He said, that's privilegedinformation, right, And all Mark was
great by all accounts. You know, I don't blame him for the three
to two loss last weight. Ipinned the game tying goal on him giving
up Well, Austin Matthews had anice shake and bay as it was called

(21:17):
in certain arenas, to get pastMcAvoy for the game, the go ahead
and game winning goal. I wasjust I was a pro play and Matthews
pro play. He made a savehe should be credited with saving the game.
He made a skate save during thatpower play in they were like there
were like six guys in the goal, right, yeah, defending the net

(21:37):
for samsonoff and yeah, Matthews madelike a skate save that would have,
you know, put the Bruins atleast at a tie. Yeah, but
their third periods, it continues,you know, it continues. They can't
finish games. Yeah. The Paarissecond period penalties really killed the Bruins last
night. And Peak maybe out nowbecause he got hurt going down to block

(21:57):
a shot. But I again gettingback to all Mark thirty saves and a
couple of them and literally standing onhis head. He made a couple of
huge save in that game. Heplayed good. Yeah, he played well
enough to win. He played wellenough to win. But they got outskated
in the third period. They did, you know, they were just that
Toronto was swarming. They were playingdesperate, which they needed to do,

(22:21):
and when the Bruins went on theirlate power play, it looked like they
were playing as though they had thelead because I didn't see many shots.
Yeah, you know what I mean. Well, now it's a series.
Now that the road team is wonon the opponent's ice, we've got a
series. Yeah. Well, ofcourse right after the game they had to
question Montgomery's choice of goaltending right andall second guesses. He was terrific.

(22:41):
He made multiple big time saves andit's the strength of our team. Both
of them played really well, right, I mean he only scored two goals.
Yeah, see, ultimately that's whatI was. He didn't score enough
goals is what happened. So tomorrownight series moves to Toronto, and who
knows, maybe Swamming will be backin the nut that seems like the rotation.
We'll see what happened to keep itup. Yes, Celtics tonight,

(23:04):
right, Celtics Celtic Wednesday Wednesday.Yeah, I don't play when till one,
so they're both going to be playingtomorrow night. Well I didn't look
at the Bruins schedule. Yeah,the Bruins is tomorrow night as well.
As I'm looking at the schedule here, I believe Game three is tomorrow night
in Toronto. Let me just doublecheck this. Well I have you here,

(23:26):
Please continue to hold all those importantthings you should know when you go
on tomorrow night at seven o'clock.Okay, so we'll have two to watch
Celtics and Bruins at the same time. See picture and pictures what you might
have. Oh, you need pictureand picture and picture because the Socks are
playing too. I know, andyou know we always like to remind you.
You can turn your TV volume downand your smart speaker iHeart radio volume
up and listen to Zlex at thesame time. I heard you know again

(23:48):
that hockey, basketball, visual sports. We're an audio medium. So you
know, like I said, everybodywins that way. Listen to Elex while
you're watching your playoff actions, geta young Pete McKenzie, heather Ford and
as we always remind you early andoften little shameless self promotion, give us
a follow on the gram the Instagramwhile you're sitting where you're sitting, maybe

(24:10):
doing your doom scrolling on the instagrams. Follow at wzlex. It pays to
follow. I mean we post ourmorning show shenanigans here on a daily basis.
The only gang we do Gang CarterAllen's got his video rock and roll
diaries that'll learn you something. Sometimesit does those from the car he does.
Yeah, he's getting dangerous and inhis own personal Vinyl vault, which

(24:30):
people find interesting. The background isn'tmoving when he's in his car, isn't.
No, it wasn't. But stillI thought to myself, he's moving.
He's like, you know, daringnow, all right, because I'm
the only one on staff that knowshow to drive in text At the same
you do not know how You're notgood at it. Shouldn't do it,
You're not good at it, whichwe'll get into later. A little bit
later. Pete underscore McKenzie, bythe way, on Instagram, I gave
you a little tour of the newconstruction site here, Oh, nearly complete

(24:53):
the new fish bowl. It looksgreat, doesn't it. It does,
but uh yeah, I made referenceto the fish bowl. Look, I
don't know if i'd want to workin that room. I would feels like
you're in a zoo. Keep peopleout one whole glass wall. Everybody can
see you, though, Yeah,but no one's going to say hi to
you, Like by putting the glasswall there. When people walk to the
bathroom, they'll see you there,but you're not. You don't have to

(25:15):
engage in conversation. Yeah, there'sa certain layer of protection and security,
which is why I feel bad forAdam and Tony because when we walked through
to go to the bathroom where wehad been, they were kind of forced
to say hi to us, andthey had been in their own world for
so long. Yeah yeah, yeah, they own glass walls to their offices
too, So no looking at adultmaterial for those guys. I'm at Kenny

(25:38):
Young z Lex and I at Heatherloves Ford. I posted a video of
my two dogs doing things that theylove to do, which looks like they're
biting each other's faces off. Isaid it to some Mike Tyson punching,
but they're really just in love witheach other. I thought maybe they had
gotten into some bath salts and theywere just they open mouthed kiss like that
for hours a day. You're veryhumble when you say my two dogs.

(26:00):
They are two great Danes, whichmakes it even more fun to wire they
have giant teeth. Did they spoonwhen they sleep at night? Yeah?
Yeah, they have their own beds, but they do spoon each other,
and sometimes they do it the otherway, which looks awkward. And said,
whenever I see them like doing whatthey were doing in your video last
night, I always think of thatto people. Let me tell you about
my bed. That's exactly what they'relike. Hey, another added in Center

point seven WCLX, Boston. SometimesI stumble across things that are interesting on

(27:11):
Instagram, and yesterday was the fiftysmartest states in the US, ranked by
average IQ. Okay, so thebottom ones are somewhat surprising and some whatnot,
Like Mississippi's got the lowest IQ.They didn't even have to sample that
in ninety four points. We justput them last. Okay, thanks Pete.
We just lost all our Mississippi listeners. Well you're gonna lose all your

(27:33):
Louisiana listeners too. They were atforty nine, but California was at forty
eight and Hawaii was at forty seven. Really, so smartest people and then
all you know, then you getall the other like Tennessee, Arkansas,
Georgia, Florida, West Virginia,Oklahoma. But the top five. I
was not surprised by the smartest Smartest. I was not surprised by number one,
Massa Chuseys one hundred and four pointthree average IQ Massachusetts. Yeah,

(27:57):
congratulations to us, although we probablydon't reach that in this room. But
that's the smartest thing I've ever heardanyone say about anything. Yes, the
second smartest thing you're gonna hear isall the people that left Massachusetts for New
Hampshire and New Hampshire one hundred andfour point two at second place, but
North Dakota's number three. So abunch of smarties hanging out in North Dakota.

(28:19):
Random Well, Vermont's four main Asix six, Connecticut's nine. Well,
New England kicks ass except for RhodeIsland thirty three. Well, yeah,
I just not enough of us movethere. Do you want to know
about Ohio? Are you curious?Not? Really? Really? You're mid
the past? Eighteen? No?One third? What about my in laws

(28:44):
in Iowa? Oh Iowa. Let'ssee if I can find the Iowa fast.
You got good schools out there?Now? They do, and apparently
I am not good. Oh IOAwas eight number eight, number eight one
three point two. They're about ten. They're above Connecticut. Wow, and
they serve a Yes, they serve. I just can't believe the North and
South Dakota. I mean North Dakota'sthree, South Dakota is thirteen. Apparently

(29:07):
a bunch of smarty pantils. Nothere in the Midwest, grass fed the
grass grass fed. Yeah, maybethat could be it. I'm not really
sure, but congratulations to us forhaving all smart people go to school here
and then stay here, because that'sprobably what happens why we're not smart romance
scams. This is our story.By the way, this is not another.

(29:29):
This is a massive Remember that Massachusettswoman who thought she was in a
text exchange with a famous soap starand that soap star was telling her the
only way to be with him wouldbe to kill her husband, and so
she's like, I've made him afancy soup and only he will eat it,
and it made him sick and heleft. He didn't die. But

(29:49):
apparently that's not rare. I thoughtfor some reason, I was like,
they found the one woman who woulddo this, who would say if they
were chatting with a believe Yes,the only elderly woman believing they were chatting
with the soap stars. So it'snot so the soap star or celebrity scam
is a thing. It's it's likeI want to date you, apparent person.

(30:12):
Apparently there have been fourteen thousand,six hundred and forty three imposter scams
just reported by Massachusetts residence. Wow, right, so man, right,
Homeland Secure is Homeland Secure? Isthis really Homeland Security? This is really
a Homeland Security advisor? Right?Yeah? Can you believe this? It's
crazy. They steal people's hearts andthen they steal their money. People are

(30:34):
embarrassed by the fact that they fill, you know, to somebody who is
not real. But truly, theseorganizations are sophisticated. They know how to
defraud everybody. You know, They'revery good at it. That's what they
do. They are motivated by money, and that's it. Sometimes I wonder
what will be because eventually we'll allbe old enough that we're going to fall
for one of them because they're goingto get so fancy. Which scam will

(30:57):
I fall for and lose on mymoney too? When I'm older. My
parents did get that call saying thatthey that my son had been kidnapped,
and it was a kid talking tomy mother and father and saying, please
help. You have to send moneyotherwise they're going to hurt me. But
he referred to my mother by thename we don't call her, so my

(31:17):
mother was like, this isn't real, yeah, and hung up the phone.
If that hadn't happened and they hadgotten the name, right, I
don't right. You need that clue, you need that safe for it.
That's my biggest namemare like if Iheard my daughter's voice on the other end
of the line and they can dothat, they can do that. I
mean you got to have a safequestion of some kind crafty couple. See,
then you'd know, well, noweverybody knows it's ruined it. Where

(31:41):
were you born? Yeah, itwould be a good one because it's pretty
random. Great scam. Would wefall for it? I don't know.
I think it would be for me. It might be one of the ones
because we do all our billing onlineand stuff. I think it would be
like if I got a fake emand you got to go over those emails
that say you didn't pay your billlast month, log in here to pay
your make we've closed your account.Yeah, exactly. Thankfully. I use

(32:04):
a bank that has like four customers, So anytime I see a Citizens or
a Bank of America or any ofthose things, they're like, we've closed
your account. I'm like, nice, try buddy, Well, I told
you. I thought I fell fora scam last month, didn't I No,
I thought I fell for But Ithink it was a banking error,
the one of the evil empires thatwe do our banking with. They just

(32:24):
closed my debit card, just shutit down, shut it off. I
couldn't use it, couldn't get cashout. My credit card, my debit
card, my one credit card throughthem, which is the one we used
for travel and stuff that worked,but the debit card didn't work. So
I had to go into the bank. I can't remember the last time I
went into a bank, went intoa bank and sat down with them and

(32:44):
said, can you fix this?So they had to send me a new
car. They go, yeah,we don't know why your card was just
closed. And I'm like, well, I have X amount of dollars in
there, so I know that's notthe issue. But I thought it was
some sort of a scam. Butyeah, it's funny. I was in
a bank yesterday, were you.Yeah, because you know a father in
law, you know, you know, my parents leaned on me, My

(33:04):
father and all leans on us.We send them you know here in there,
you know, we send them somemoney. But when I got compromised
member. Oh, that's right.When my account got compromised, that stopped
for him. You know, sowe had to send checks and it's you
know, it's laborsome to send checks. So I couldn't get online and do
what I had done before, whichwas just transferred to his bank a certain

(33:29):
amount of money every month. Ican't believe you do that, right,
Well, we do it for ourparents, understand, we do it for
our parents. I know I didit for my mom and dad. We'll
do it for your mom and dad. John did it for his parents a
little bit, but not a lot. And I don't think I'm going to
have to do it for my parents. Well they're going to live with you,
right, they're going to live withme, But they my dad did
he remember we weren't allowed to spendmoney. Yeah, so he invested.

(33:51):
Well, well yeah, you know, so you know, we help him
out. But I had to actuallygo into the bank and say, how
do I do this? I can'tfigure it out? And then he said,
ask Erica. When you go online, just ask the assistant. Oh,
asked the bank assistant. They'll walkyou right through a chure. Enough
boom, Now your father in lawsset set for the next step for a
month, Yes, ever a month, just out of curiosity. I'm only

(34:12):
going to ask it once. Doeshe call you if it doesn't come through?
Well, when it didn't come through, yeah he did, when it
was only one time. Oh gotchaz x one. And that was because
we were compromised, right, Andyou blamed him mostly Sonny in sixties today,
mostly Claudia with a couple of showerstomorrow, high around sixty forty degrees
in Boston. I'm heather Ford onone hundred point seven though, use e

(34:34):
Lex bring me to live, Boston'sonly classic rock morning show. Some even
essence Amy Lee and Company. Youknow the dude that wraps on that,
Paul McCoy. I thought he wasjust part of the band for many,
many, many years. He wasbrought in. He was actually a frontman
of another group called twelve Stones,and he was brought in at the insistence
of the record label who said toAmy Lee, who wrote that song when

(34:58):
she was like nineteen, said yeah, we're gonna have this guy come in
and and do vocals on your track, and she was firmly against it.
They wanted to market to a broadermusical landscape. That was in the words
ladies. Yeah, yeah, exactly, But we wound up working out for
everybody. The song or the albumwent triple platinum. That song ended up

(35:19):
winning Grammy Awards and all kinds ofthings. So would it would have gone
quadruple platinum without him though? Yeah? Maybe, Yeah, that's right,
that what it would have done.They never had the chance. Yeah.
By the way, it released intwo thousand and three. Two thousand and
three, that song came out.Wow, he's getting young. Pete McKenzie,
heather Ford, Well, we didour Bruins recap. Bruins Celtics was

(35:40):
playing tomorrow night. I'd like toget back to baseball as the Red Sox
will be getting back to baseball inthe land of Cleeve today, in particular
Tyler O'Neal and Raphael Devers back tobaseball. That's huge news, yes for
Socks fans. Tanner Hawke will betaking the hill with his American League leading
one point three to five I thinkright, or he's up there anyway again,

(36:04):
he's in the top five against Bythe way, Kenny, the best
record in baseball, you're talking aboutthe Guardians at sixteen and six. It
happens to belong to them. Yeah, well there was three of those wins
at Fenway last week. So RedSox looking to get a little revenge on
the road, which is where they'vebeen excelling lately. Is on the road.
Ben Lively gets the bump for theGuardians today, six' ten.

(36:25):
First pitch out there. I bringup the Socks too, because I found
this story on Sunday because we werewatching all kinds of sports this past weekend.
You know who Cam Boozer is.Jam Boozer loved the last name Boozer.
He's a thirty one year old reliefpitcher that the Socks called up and
he became the Red Sox oldest playerto make his Major League debut at the

(36:50):
age of thirty one this past weekend, the oldest player in franchise history since
nineteen forty seven. To be thatold and make your first debut Red Sox
now and then dicking with it.This guy's got a crazy I said,
who's this Boozer guy? So Idid a little digging. He's got a
crazy career. He blew out abunch of muscles and broke vertebrae from lifting

(37:13):
weights in high school, and hewas a highly touted kid coming into Oregon
State as a baseball player underwent TommyJohnson. He had a lifelong career of
injuries right and then up until Ithink was it four years ago. For
the last four years or so,he was a carpenter. He was a
full time carpenter. After four yearsof that, he started coaching youth baseball

(37:37):
like Little League, fell in lovewith the game, started throwing, realized
he could still hit the mid ninetieswithout feeling pain. This guy made it
all the way back to the majorsand made his debut. He allowed one
ear and run in the eight toone victory over the Pirates last weekend.
Cam Boozer. Okay, good story, Kenny, good story. There's another

(37:57):
picture down in the SOTS minor leaguesystem the name of Dick Fits Okay,
who's trying to make his way tothe major league. Rick Fits. Dick
Fits, if you can imagine,I'd imagine he'd sell a lot of jerseys.
Is also the name of my friendDoug's father, Dick Fits. Okay.
So there's a correlation there. Thankgod, Doug wasn't a junior Dick.
That's right, Junior. You gottalove that name. Kenny, I

(38:19):
mean, I know you like theboozer name, but Dick fits you can't
beat I like it. I likeit on the back of a jersey.
I can tell you that. Well, if you need a little extra cash
for those jerseys, remember thousand dollarsbribe returns at nine to ten here this
morning, you can become a thousandThere Fire Fire, Boston's only classic rock
morning show, one hundred point sevenw ZLX seven forty one out of Doors,

(38:40):
Kenny Young, Pete McKenzie, heatherFord, Pete, you were just
mentioning Lee Majors, the six millionDollar Man later the fall Guy from the
TV series and the turns eighty fiveto Yes. Do you remember when he
and fair Fawcett were the top?They were, Yeah, they were the
toast of the town. A coupleof sex symbols right there. Remember that
turn sex symbol? Oh yeah,well judge on your own. But the

(39:05):
lovely and talented Joyce de Witt ofThree's Company Fame, she was Janet,
she turned seventy five today. Andthe even lovelier whoever you red blooded American
mail that I knew growing up hada crush on at one time or another
Valerie Burtinelli, A very happy sixtyfourth birthday to the former missus Eddie van
Halen. Wow, look at uswith the mini pearl right courtship of Vetti's
father and the six million dollar manreferences this morning. I've told you guys,

(39:29):
for the last four and a halfyears, the TV was the little
brother I never had. Right,What's going on with Boston's only classic rock
morning show on onety seven w zX. Did I appear off to you
guys yesterday a little bit like I'malways off? So I can't tell?
Like I felt like I had somespeech impediment problems going on yesterday, Like

(39:52):
I couldn't find words, stumbles Ihad stumbled I did, yeah, and
I was mispronouncing words, having astroke that. Initially that's what I was
considering, like is this my agecreeping up and showing its ugly face?
Right? And then I realized yesterdaymy vape broke down, so I was

(40:15):
I wasn't vaping yesterday, and Iattributed to that. I think it keeps
me sharp, think keeps me sharphere neurological, yeah, situation off and
you know this is the sad part. I rushed out of here, to
go to a vape store to eitherget the vape fixed or buy a new

(40:38):
one. Do you even vape bro? Sorry, no, he fixed it.
But when I got to the vapestore, I went to reach for
my wallet, did and I didn'thave my wallet. Now you know what
you know, the panic that setsin when you can't find your wallet.

(40:58):
Yeah. I must have looked likean idiot in that parking lot because I
opened every car door, every youknow door on the truck, done that
not once, three times, lookedaround that car, thinking there is no
way I lost my walle I distinctlyremember having it at work. Yeah,

(41:19):
I always set it on top ofthis, but today I kept it in
my pocket. You look through yourbriefcase, your attash, a case.
Oh. I hate that feeling becausethen you start thinking about all the cards,
the driver's license, I mean,the things that I carry in there
are probably not what most people carry. I have a Georgiakastanza wallet. Oh,
a giant wallet pretty close. Ohyeah, it's it's thick. Yeah.

(41:42):
So after searching the vehicle, Icould not find it. I even
looked under the vehicle, thinking itfell out when I got out of the
truck. You know, and thenI'm thinking it might have fell out of
the truck when I got in thetruck. Back at work, yeah,
right, or out of my pocket. Parking lot, garage, yeah,
wherever you parked. So I decideand I look at my watch and it's
quarter to eleven, and I'm thinking, there's no way Kenny's still there.

(42:06):
But he's nobody else is here tocall, right, He's the only one.
He's the only one I can call. We don't have the people.
So I called Kenny. Kenny picksup right away. I hear the car
running. I know I'm right thereon the bridge on the time you called.
Even though that I heard the carrunning and you were in your car,
I asked, I asked you.Did you leave work yet? I

(42:30):
literally just left? So Kenny,what did you do? He turned around?
Well, I couldn't. Well.I asked you where you were,
because you said you were going tocome back and look. And I said,
well wait a minute, I gowhere are you? And you said,
I'm back home, framing him already, I'm at the Framingham vape store.
I didn't tell you I was atthe vape store. I'm like,
well, you're not going to comeall the way back, and I go,

(42:52):
I'm right here. I said,I had to stop and get gas
anyway, which I did, andI said, I'll turn around and i'll
go back up and look and needbe, I'll go out and check the
parking lot. So I came uphere and I went to your desk area,
and I'm rifling through your stuff bythe way. In the meantime,
as the clock is ticking, you'renot calling back. You know, it's
twenty minutes, and I'm just panicking. I'm like, I don't this wallet's

(43:14):
not going to turn up. Thisis going to be a disaster. And
after I called you from your deskand said we're empty here, we're coming
up empty, I walked in,well, I walked into my production studio
over there. I shouldn't say myAnd then I came in here and the
Costanza wallet was like a beam ofsunlight on it, sitting on the console
right here in the air studio.Oh, no way, why'd you take

(43:36):
it out? I don't know.I mean, like I said, I
usually take out my headsets out ofthis case, this little bag, and
I set my keys and my walleton top of there. I know now
I'm keeping it I'm keeping my walletin my pocket. Wow. Yeah.
See, I was on the phonewith my wife at the time that you
called in. I said, holdon, Pete's calling. It's got to
be something, you know. Igot to make sure it's not like an
emergency. She goes, yeah,yeah, I go. So then I

(43:59):
retell her this story, and shegoes, well, why did he take
his wallet out of his pocket atwork? And I said, yeah,
I know, but I said,it's a Costanzo wallet. He's probably going
to throw a disc or slip adisc in his back from that thing.
That's exactly right, Heather. Itis not good to sit on your wall,
especially when it's as big as money. Yeah, you shouldn't. Your
wallet is You should definitely put thekeys in your wallet back on that thing.

(44:20):
That's your process. Do that.You're fine, do that, okay.
Yeah. By the way, notthat I took anything out of it,
but I just thought it was weird. Pete still had a Diner's Club
card diners Club, the Player's Clubfrom Telly Savalas. There's information in my
wallet. I can't even tell youabout it. I mean, that's all.
That's what's crazy about that stuff runningthrough your mind like this is disaster,

(44:43):
the combination to your fire. SaveNo that stupid things that I shouldn't
have it, Well, don't reveal, don't reveal. You know, I
was happy to help Pete because wemet up at the Dunks. They're off
the pike, and you know itcame in hot and I gave your wallet.
You're very pleas thank you, Kenny. But you know, the only
downside to me helping you all.So you know what the worst part was

(45:05):
is that because of that time framewas thrown off just enough. I ended
up No, Oh, I napped. Oh. I wound up for the
last two and a half miles ofmy commute home yesterday behind a seafood delivery
truck. God. Yeah, no, God, Please, if there's anybody

(45:25):
that knows me, smelling low tideis one of the most vile things you
can do to me. Fish guy. No, And I need people to
stop demanding that I try seafood becausewhat they've had is the best ever.
You can't do that. I'm notgonna do it. I'm not going to
convert. But yeah, I woundup behind this seafood delivery truck and I'm
praying to God the whole way,take a left, take a left,

(45:45):
take a left. I finally manifestedit. And this seafood truck that was
wafting by the way, it shouldn'thave smelled, like I feel sorry for
whoever was getting this order because youpeople tell me that it should not smell.
It should not be a fishy smell. But it was. And so
yeah, I mean, I putmy windows up. I said, I

(46:05):
got to get past this thing.So that was the only downside to help
in you, buddy, not bad, not bad. Karma didn't bite you
too bad? Then it didn't.It didn't. I'd like to think I
made a deposit to the Karma bank, right seven forty eight, Now get
one thousand bucks at nine ten withthe bribe from the Planet Fitness WCLX Studios,
Horizon. Now, now, thanksfor making that part of your morning
lies, Heather. People are idiots. Great story. One point seven.

(46:31):
WCLX bosson figured out there's nothing morestressful than trying to figure out how to
sell tickets to a revolution game likethat. That's that's been my last ten
minutes right now, just trying toI think I think we're going to sell
the tickets. Mm hmmm. Youknow and it seems like I'm not.
I've had numerous people ask me likefriends about tickets, but I'm definitely not

(46:52):
selling them to friends, you knowwhat I mean. And there's a reason
for that. Yeah, what ifhe doesn't play right, in which he's
been known not to play on thisturf turf? So when is the Messy
game this week? Saturday? Ohand again if we don't sell it,
we go. I've seen him liveat Gillette when he played for his country.
It was great, But I like, but if it could pay for
next year? Right, I mean, it's like watching them win, I

(47:15):
feel like they're gonna get annihilated.So if you want to watch MESSI score
five goals, it's gonna be agreat day. But if you're a Reps
fan, it's not a great day. Yeah. The fact that you've seen
him live already and the fact thatyou have seventh row, right, I
mean, that's hard hard to sayno to d next year and more and

(47:35):
beyond. Well, some people areselling them for ridiculous prices and some people
are selling them for normal prices.Well it's because they have the attitude.
I'm gonna throw it up there foryou know, X amount of dollars in
the final sell them. I don'tsell them. I'll go yep. And
that's how I feel. I mean, I again, I love going to
REVS games. I just I havea really hard time going to games where
we're going to be annihilated. Ijust it's not been a great year.

(47:58):
It's not fun. It's not necessarilysuper fun to go. And I'm going
to be a season ticket holder forforever as long as I can. I
love them, but it's again,it's not if I could make next year's
ticket price. You know, allright, so what about this? So
you throw it up for an exorbitantamount of money whatever you'd come up with.
Someone's trying to get what four thousanddollars a ticket for their tickets.

(48:19):
So I'm not doing that. No, twenty You're all ridiculous. And if
you don't sell them, then thenyour boys go. They they take two
friends, they're not going to go. They wouldn't go, no, no,
I would, I mean, II mean, they wouldn't even go
with me. They only go ifnachos are involved. Let's be ask my
kids like to play sports. Theydon't like to watch sports their whole lives.
They would prefer to be in itas opposed to watching. They don't.

(48:43):
It's not like they would enjoy it. They just they have others.
I don't like to watch soccer.I don't like to play soccer. There's
a fortune there. I know,I know to be had. I know.
I'm with you. I have somegood news for you, Pete.
You were right a little bit aboutthe Karen Reid case we talked about yesterday.
Remember, the defense was like,listen, we can't have this case
in here. We can't try itin here because part of the jury box

(49:05):
won't be able to see the faceof the people that are testifying, and
that's important. You have to beable to see the faces of people,
not just hear their voices. Andthen the prosecution's like, yep, this
courtroom is one hundred years old.So it's like you said, we get
old. It's the biggest one.And they said the jury box. I
think what they were saying was thatthe jury box got expanded when you had

(49:25):
the alternates sit there too, asopposed to just the regular jury. So
that's all sixteen of them instead ofjust twelve. That's when all of that
happens. So maybe it's just thealternates that won't be seeing the faces.
I don't know, but anyway,they said we can change rooms. To
me, would I would want thejury members, all of them, to
see the faces of the people thatare testifying. Yeah, right, yeah,

(49:49):
that would just be part of itfor me. I don't know it,
mate. It was like the onething that made sense as the defense
prosecution team either yeah, you wouldwant them to see what people want.
Yeah, so no, if youthink people are lying or if they're telling
the truth. And I don't knowabout you two, but we've talked numerous
times this morning how this is thesaddest news day on the planet because there's

(50:10):
really nothing fun to talk about oranything. In general. It wasn't even
like there was like lots of weirdnews. But we did have a police
chase of a stolen vehicle and juvenileswere involved yesterday. But the part of
the story that stuck with me wasthat the guy whose car was stolen he
had been saving for this Lexus forforever and it was brand spank and new,

(50:31):
and now I'll already go to theend of the story is totaled.
This chase started, I mean,they stole the car in peevity. The
chase ended far. It went throughyour town nine and ended up on some
ramps going the wrong way. Atone point, rumble strips were put down,

(50:53):
tires were flattened, hit like adozen vehicles. The stolen car right
did yeah, and that those vehicleswere. But the guy that owns the
Lexus, there's a GPS in it, and so he was helping the police
target where the car was the wholetime, even figuring out where they ate.
So I was upset, but therewas really nothing I could do.

(51:14):
It wasn't in my control. Iwent from Rhade I lived. It was
going everywhere. It went to BurgerKing. I saw her seats in the
car. They went to Burger KingMcDonald's. They had a good time.
Obviously, I'm said, I workedso hard for it. I've only had
it for like six seven months.I put a lot of money into a
lot of time, and then itjust like it rips apart, run in
front of you. It kind ofsucks. They were going crazy. That's
not good, putting other people's livesin harm. They that's not right.
No, and ripped apart is right. The whole front of it was that

(51:36):
from hitting other cars or from therumble strips, and then it hit something
else I think from both, andthen it slammed into a tree eventually off
the side of the roads in therumble strips. Get a bunch of other
cars too, like they didn't stopthe traffic. A lot of the witnesses

Boston's only classic rock morning show eighttwenty four now forty one, and
it's way after the sixties. Plentyof sunshine today. Get out of doors
and enjoy it. It's getting young. Pete McKenzie heather Ford here, I
got to tell you, just beforecracking the MIC's open. Is there anything
better than a good stretch and abackcrack? I'm telling you you're welcome the

(52:22):
older I get man, when youjust pop something just right and you're like,
oh, you just feel loose.I love grabbing people from behind,
lifting them up and cracking their backs. That's how you're welcome, Kenny.
That's how you get canceled, Pete, that's how you get canceled. That's
right. Hey, you want tohear a good story, feel good story.
I know it's not feel good Friday, it hasn't been for quite some
time. But I have a feelgood story for you. My buddy Paul

(52:45):
Okay who ran the bar and Knobby'sknob Scott Cafe, which he had to
close. He had to shut downpandemic wiped him out. Uh, and
he has been He's been okay financially, but physically he's had his issues,
all right. Paul was a marineserved at Camp La June four years,

(53:07):
had some issues there. Yeah,and he also suffered from hydrocephalus, which
is too much fluid on the brain. Oh. She affected his balance and
Paul did not play golf for twoand a half years and was a damn
good golfer. Kenny knows what I'mtalking about when I said a seven handicap

(53:27):
at one time. Really, Paulwas a seven at one time. So
he loved the game, couldn't playit for the last two and a half
years because he was afraid he'd falldown. Well, yesterday, after much
coaxing, months of coaxing, saysomething else, we finally got the court.
He played around and seriously, ittook a lot of needling and prodding

(53:54):
to get him to just try it. Just yeah, you don't have to
play a whole, you know,just come on out, drive a few
putt, pot a few whack acouple around with us. You know,
it's low key. It's just,you know, a couple of forresomes out
there. If he didn't play allnine holes had three pars. I don't

(54:16):
know what he's been hiding. He'sa sandbager, sand bearger, you know.
He believe me. He left therewith a cane. He walks with
a cane because he's afraid he's gonnafall. But when he was out on
the golf course, it was like, you know what I mean, and
for all of us it was tooto see him get back out there.
That's a good feeling, right.Golf can be really whatever he wanted to

(54:37):
be. It could be going tothe driving range and spending an hour hitting
golf balls. It could be takinga thirty minute lesson. It got to
the point where there was so slowon the course yesterday towards the end of
the evening, which by the way, was a gorgeous night because as the
sun set over the swamps of Whyland, the moon was rising on the other

(54:58):
side. It was just gorgeous.All that the Serengeti back there. They
it's just like reservoir land and swampland and you know, vacant. So
that we had two foursomes. Whilewe had two foursome scheduled, seven guys
showed up. In the end.The last three holes we played, we
were all together, all seven ofus playing the holes together because there was
nobody behind us. I wasn't soPaul was playing this game with seven people

(55:22):
watching the six other people watching.It was great. I mean, I've
we all felt good tearing the eyecheers at the end. Well, good
for him, that's all Fall's back, and yeah, it's good to hear
he's uh, you know, upand moving. Get the guy going,
you know, got to keep theblood flowing. Yes, we will,
that's right, I mean, yeah, you know, I've been saying for

(55:42):
a long time now, and evensome other tour players are saying that if
Tiger could be you know of aBernard Langer level on the champions Tour.
If they let Tiger take a golfcart, he could be back to that
championship status. Oh yeah, becausethe walking is because of the walking.
Because see you put Paul in thecard. He had three. He was
the only one in a card,by the way. Yeah, that's all
right, that's alright. One ofthe pointsm WZLX many from the rock and

I mean? When I was fulltime nights, week nights, I would
get responses from Australia because it waslike their midday there, like the next

(01:01:42):
day. Pretty cool. So,like I said, this is a global
operation, is what we're getting.Yes, it is speaking of operations.
My colleagues here in the studio,Heather and Kenny, I have a tendency
from time to time to leave meout of conversations. Rightly so. They
are both smarter than I am,no or not, and smarter than a

(01:02:04):
fourth grader. They both play thegame called wordle. Their wordler. You
make it sound like we're the onlytwo people on the planet. Lots of
people do this, Lots of peoplewordle. You could wordle. You know
I didn't go to college, right, You are the only two people that
I know seriously that I hang with. None of my buddies play it.
My wife doesn't play it, mydaughter doesn't play it, my son in
law doesn't play it. I don'tknow any of my family members that play

(01:02:24):
at I'm gonna work my brother,my sister, my father, myself,
and my son just Bobby where weall do it every day and then text
our answers to each other and thenwe talk to each other. It's part
of our group chat. Like mywife and sister in law were on the
scene. You mentioned this morning offthe air about how your wife won't share
with you the what she's got anew starter. First, I have a

(01:02:47):
starter word. Yeah, you knowthat she kind of put there because it
eliminates letters and you try to guessthe five letter word, so you have
a starter word. My starter wordgot was the word about three months ago,
and so I had to pick anotherstarter word. Oh I see,
well I just made it my secondword. I made my second word my
first word. So I saw astory about wordle that the editor has said,

(01:03:09):
you know, was asked, areyou going to run out of words?
Five letter words? Easy enough words? Yeah? Probably? She said,
there's like twenty three hundred plus wordsleft, so we will have to
do something in what what would thatbe, like five years? Whatever?
Yeah, so and then they'll doit six letter words. That was my

(01:03:30):
thought, like that was one ofher solutions. Her solutions were, maybe
we'll we'll just start recycling the wordsat some point, you could, I
mean, how long is bird?I don't even know how long word's been
around three years. I know it'sa big deal. But maybe we'll throw
them all in a pot. Ormaybe we'll allow plurals. All right,
so you know, five letter variations, plural words, why wouldn't you go

(01:03:53):
to six? That's my thought?Wordle two six words? You have to
read six letters. You have toredo the whole format of it probably,
And I don't know. I alwaysthought it was a guy who invented it
for his like wife or daughter.Well, I didn't say inventor, I
said editor. He's a creator.Yeah, no, yeah, I'll just
play it until it's done, allright. Hey, you guys have fun

(01:04:15):
with your word. I know.Will you always live in my wordless world?
You always like did You're always thinkingto yourself. You always like I
can do that, and we're alwayslike, yeah, anyone can. That's
the thing about it. It's nothard. It seems to be a competition
though, amongst you two, andI don't like getting in competition. I
can't win. Yeah, well,I mean yeah, you'd beat us.

(01:04:35):
The thing is with the wife andsister in law for me. Anyway,
we all do it at different timesof the day. I don't do it
until the afternoon. I like justknowing that I got the word, you
know what I mean? Yeah?Yeah, you guys seem very happy in
your word. We don't come witheach other in our word group. We
just talked to each other. It'slike it's just an extension of our group
chat. Because it's my brother,my sister, my father, and I.

(01:04:57):
Right, so my mother doesn't doit, and so we incorporated Bobby.
Yeah, I don't know. It'sjust kind of it's just a way
we about to day. No something. We're not that kind of family,
like, can you wager on it? We're not Yeah, right, we're
not that kind of family. Yeah, what's your record? I don't know.
I haven't been keeping your stats.They stopped showing us their stats unless

(01:05:18):

chances. Do I owe you anyfinances for the pool? No? No,
And it's once we hit two hundredmillion, which Mega Millions has in
power Balls not far behind, right, because after you know, we get
through all the lawyers and the paperworkand all that and splitting the pot.

(01:06:47):
Yeah, the cash options only ninetyone million, So then you got to
put taxes onto that or take taxesout of that. I mean, how
am I supposed to feed my familyon that? I don't know I don't
know, but a lot of cashup now. It just seems to be
common now. These jackpot's over twohundred million. Crazy crazy, you know
what? You know? You knowwe were talking about Scotti Scheffler and his

(01:07:08):
prowess on the golf course and he'she's had thirteen starts this year. Yeah,
but he's won four out of thelast five tournaments, so his average
perse take is like one point sevenmillion per tournament. He's over thirteen million
earned this year already. I'd liketo look uplous. I'd like to look
up what Scotty Scheffler's earning per strokeon the golf course. They did figure
that out, Kenny. I thinkit was per hole. They figured it

(01:07:30):
out for a hole three hundred andseventy five thousand dollars. Oh yeah,
listen, I'll be happy shooting eightsfor that kind of money all day,
making snowman out. He's twenty eight. Hey. One last piece of business.
