(00:00):
Let's do this fast in your seatthumps. I wake up every morning Boston's
only classic rock morning show. Ilook at myself at the mirror and I
gobm dreaming, ABM a week dreaming. I'm asleep with Pete McKenzie. I'm
still vomit before every show a Ford, I feel dirty and unsatismand and Kenny
Young yea, let's get crazy.In other words, I'm crazy one seven.

(00:27):
I want you to go hard,fast, heavy. You're to it.
Here's to the future. Will yousee lx well, Welcome to this
Wednesday, hump Day, April twentyfourth, forty four degrees. If you
could see it underneath the cloud cover, the full pink moon took place last
night. My name is Guineyon.But if we're gonna do this, we're

(00:48):
got to do this right. Firstof all, I don't want to be
stuck in the studio tossing it tothe guys at the rink for the rest
of my life, or taking phonecalls late into the night. I'd already
done that, but I said,we have to be committed. Yeah,
we got to be committed. You'vegot to be committed. A lot of
late nights over the years, Ihave. Therefore, welcome to the building.
The Q said you're five to fiveat the LA time says you're five
to four in some other place thatyou were five to two five five five

(01:11):
five five, All right? Wasthat right? He said he was five
and five and a half if hewas wearing his shoes. I'm five six,
So you're taller than Kevin Hart,but not by much. If he's
wearing his shoes white, stand upagain. I just want to yeah,
I just want to see, like, wow, that's Kevin Hart. Yeah
that's right. If you took hershoes off. Yeah, wow, you

(01:36):
can definitely post up on him.If you guys hooped, you know what
I mean, if you played hoops, that's Pete McKenzie. He's no stranger
to hoops. What's up? Thisis not about goals and moments and memories.
That are about what I saw,what I have learned along the way
in the last three decades. Thatis about people, and they are amongst
the best people in the world.Pete. Yes, people who need people.

(01:57):
Oh, I got to tell youI had some great peace yesterday.
I had a little field trip.I'll tell you about. And what's going
on at seveno forty and they werejust marvelous, wonderful people. But in
the meantime, I we'll put thaton hold. I'll set that aside,
all right, as they say,and and tell you that we encountered,
Kenny and I some wildlife this morningthat I had never seen before, not

(02:21):
in these parts. No, we'vebeen coming here since twenty seventeen. I
never saw that before in our parkinglot. Kenny. Uh so there's there
are tigers on the loos in Ohio? Right? Is that what that was?
Tigers escaped from something, some sortof enclosure. No, we we
saw this. Yeah, what wesaw this morning, all I could think

(02:43):
about was a subplot to a Disneymovie about a lonely coyote that just wants
to make a break for it fromthe woods and move to the big city.
Tired of the pack. He's tiredof the pack. He wants to
forge his own path. Yes,yes, and he wants to be among
the people. He looked very friendly, almost doglike, hopping around in the
parking headlights. Yeah. I waspulling into the garage. Pete was flanking

(03:07):
around the other side. He wasa koy dog. We had those where
I group. It was like halfdog, half coyote. They had,
like I think it was a coyote. I'm pretty sure it was. I
mean, I don't even know whata Koi dog would look like. Yeah,
kind of like a coyote but friendly. No, it was, yeah,
I mean just the way he wasprancing, you know, around the

(03:27):
parking lot. I didn't see acaller either, so he was, uh,
well, coy dogs don't have collars. It's not like people have the
best pets. They just had giantbunches of them where there would be like
there'd be like they'd be like dogcoyotes. So is that dogs bank coyotes?
Is that how that work? Butmaybe both. I don't know if
it was just like a rumor,but we used to have giant packs of
them in New York. It wasused to call them ki dogs. Never

(03:50):
heard of that. No, Ihaven't either, but we just had so
many of them. I'm going toguess that this was a this was a
true coyote. Yeah. I feltbad for him because, like I said,
he frozen my headlights and I stoppedand I was like, what's he
doing in our parking lot here inMedfied. He's from the animal world.
He's just looking for a meal.And I've seen rabbits out. There's so
many rabbits. He didn't follow youinto the parking garage, which is a

(04:13):
good thing. No, he leaptup over the hill. And as he
did that, like I said,Pete was flanking around this side of the
parking Was that park outside? Yeah? Yeah, tiny frozen Pete's head like
he did. He did, andthen he went. He went the distance
in the parking lot, all theway down to the apartment buildings. Yeah,
maybe he was just taking the trashout. It's yeah, right,
it's kind of bizarre to see kayahere of all plate like, you know,

(04:36):
walking the black asphalt. I wouldn'tthink. I mean, we just
had a video of a woman beingchased in Quinsy in Hall. I know
Hall doesn't look like this, butit's pretty packed. And yeah, they
were all over the place there.I mean they're everywhere. They are everywhere
anywhere there's food, Like, where'sthe near I was trying to think,
where's like the nearest forest to hear? Is it? They don't need forest,

(04:57):
they just need food. Honestly,they just well they'll come out of
there. But I mean where helives or she lives, you can live
behind a dumpster like they don't.They don't need I know you're rolling your
eyes at me right now, butthey really don't. They really they don't
need too much of a I knowthey I know they travel a long ways
for food and to hunt, butthey didn't even travel a long way when

(05:18):
we were in Hall. Well,you know what wouldn't surprise me is their
natural habitat has evolved to becoming they'regoing for like being behind a dumpster,
because it's really not their natural habitat, but they're going for food. I
don't well, I don't even knowwhat their natural habitat. I would say
woods, or it would be theirnatural habitat, but it's, like I

(05:41):
said, it's evolved. I don'teven think it's woods. I just think
it's protection. I just think coyotesneed a space where no one's going to
see them. I don't even thinkit needs I'm just still fascinated by these
koy dogs have to look well,you know what you can, but I
don't know. It might have justbeen something we were all like old and
let me just look it up.It wasn't a cop Chabra wasn't a mythical

(06:03):
beast dogs. The coy dog isa hybrid resulting from meeting between a male
coyote and a female dog, soit could happen. Hybrids of both sexes
are fertile and can be successfully bredthrough four generations. Do they describe what
the difference would be between a coyoteand a koy dog as far as visual
goes, No, we just hadpacks of them. Yeah, it's not

(06:28):
really cool. It was actually kindof cool. It was he wasn't threatening
it, and I was I wouldn'tapproach him. No, No, I
didn't approach him. But of courseI was looking around as I was,
you know, walking in the parkinglot to see if there might be more,
because you know, sometimes they're inpacks. Yeah, a lot of
times. So the one, well, the one time where I was running
with Bear early in the morning beforework, I all of a sudden one

(06:50):
came up, just just jogging upthe road, and Bear saw him and
chased him down the road. Andnext thing I know, Bears running back
at me full speed, not makingany noise, and there's a pack of
them behind him. Yeah. Sothe one had like brought him in food
and then once he got down there. They all chased himpact. I mean

(07:10):
I knew they were everywhere. Yeah, they used to greet me at my
front door when I would walk outto go to work. There'd be like
just a bunch of them, likeI'm not your food exactly. They have
that raptor mentality, you know,and killing packs. Right, That's why
I like garages. It's my newfavorite. It's my favorite thing in the
house we live in. Now Ican hide my car in its own bedroom.

(07:31):
Z Lex weather mostly cloudy with scatteredshowers. You might even hear some
thunder. A high round sixty,mostly sunny, in fifties tomorrow forty four
degrees in Boston. I'm Heather Fordon one hundred point seven Double u z
LX, Boston's only classic rock morningshow. I wouldn't have had the same
cachet if he just went by hisfull name, William William Joel. Right,

(07:51):
it doesn't work. Just like inthe opposite you couldn't call him Bobby
Plant. He's always been Robot RobotPlant. This is Kenny Pete McKenzie Heather
for five four on this Wednesday humpDay. And yes, we're going to
be tapping into our resources again hereat nine to ten, as the thousand
dollars bribe returns another thirteen opportunities tobecome a thousand dayre Yeah. Sure,

(08:13):
anyone can buy a lottery ticket ora scratchy you know. Matter of fact,
remember when that Jaws scratch ticket launched, I have one in my car,
unscratched. Yes, I won tenbucks on the first one that I
bought, which was pretty cool too. But there was a local recipient customer
that I got a press release onthis. I'm trying to look for it
right now. Hit for a millionbucks on that Jaws scratch ticket. So

(08:37):
listen, you don't have to takesuch a big risk or chance or gamble
with that. Nope, you canjust tune in every hour on the tens.
We give you a thousand bucks andyeah, thirteen grand every weekday.
And again I think most of that'scoming out of Pete's salary. So pumping
out the dough kenny right out ofmy bank account, you're good for it.
Use my second. It might bemy third bank account that it's coming

(08:58):
from, the one that's offshore,right all right, the one we don't
like to talk about. God,it's all good, it's all good in
the Hood from a Planet Fitness WCLXStudios, Horizon Smile Now, now,
thanks for making that part of yourmorning. People are idiots. Great story.
Thank you. On one hundred pointseven WCLX Boston, a story we
were recovering yesterday about that stolen carand that highway chase and blah blah blah

(09:22):
blah and how it ended A fifteenyear old was driving that car. Oh,
my lord, fifteen years old.I'm sorry, that's so young.
I don't I didn't know how todrive a car at fifteen. I know
that my husband did because he tookhis parents' car when he was fourteen and
picked up his friends and they wentplaces and it was illegal. Yes,

(09:43):
but he already knew how to drive. I didn't. Could you have driven
a fit? You probably could have. I got busted by my dad taking
the car out at fifteen. Youknow, I drove with my permit,
with my friend's mother's car. ButI never like you know, we just
to the store and back. Butyeah, I would never think about going
on a multi town high speech age. Yeah. Could you even have controlled

(10:07):
the car going to I mean youtook your you got caught taking your dad's
car and you didn't draw. Igot caught. I was at a stop
light and he was coming the otherway across the across the intersection, and
saw his car at the red light, looked at me, pointed at me,
and pointed at our house, whichwas a block away. Basically,

(10:28):
go home. Did you turn around? I don't know how I made it
home, and it was probably onlytwo hundred yards. Was anyone else in
the car with you? No,I was alone. Was he standing at
his car waiting for you to pullinto the driveway? Of course he was.
And then to sit down, youknow, at the table about you
know, I could cost us theentire house, house, our livelihood.

(10:52):
Yeah. Yeah, that that wasabout two and a half hours. Wow,
we'll lose the house. Did youhave the kind of brother who said
there with his arms folded in thecorner, just smirking at you. Brother
was seven years older, so hehad been in college. Yeah. You
were just there by yourself, myself. They're wondering how they were going to
survive you. This kid just tooka car. I think my husband got

(11:16):
caught by the police actually, andwas told to go home, Oh,
in his parents car. Yeah,and one of their Yeah, that's probably
how it had worked for me backback in those days. Yeah, take
the car home, go home,go home, doing Yeah exactly. So
anyway, that was a fifteen yearold just as a I don't know if
you needed to hear that at all, because I was surprised. I have

(11:39):
a fifteen year old and I askedhim yesterday, I go, you want
to go to a parking lot?You want to drive the car around,
just so you get a little bitof a heads up as to what it
feels like. And he goes absolutelynot, Well I don't know. Yeah
right, I don't have to worryabout him accidentally taking it. And just
real quick, we're going to getinto the story more as the moing goes

(12:00):
on. But there is like we'veheard of people before who have a dog
that they love more than anything,and they might be older and for some
reason, I don't know if itwas ever in their will or if it
was just something they said, butwhen they passed, the dog should pass.
We've done these stories before. Like, I'm not alive anymore, so

(12:20):
no one can take care of thedog as well as I can. So
put the dog down and we shallbe buried together. I remember doing a
story like that at some point.This is the same thing except a horse,
and this is on Cape Cod Andshe died and she wants the horse
put down because no one can takecare of the horse like she could wow

(12:45):
the owner, and the horse hasno way to say yeah, I'm good
with that. She wants the horseto be buried. Barbara Collins, Sandwich
Mass dying wish to be buried withher beloved horse, Brady, named after
Tom Brady. So maybe Tom Bradycould come through for this one to save
his horse. Oh. She diedof stomach cancer and that was her wish.

(13:09):
She thought it would. The quoteis that they thought it would.
She thought it would be in thebest interest of the horse. Who can
I mean, someone can take inyour dog, but who can just take
in a horse? Yeah, Imean you have. I would say,
I hate to, you know,think about dogs that way, but I
guess I would be okay with itin either case. Horses live. Because

(13:31):
this horse is twenty thirty some yearsthirty some This horse is twenty hasn't been
ridden in years because of an injury. It's not like this is like a
horse. It's like I am abreeding horse. Right, it's like an
older horse. Yeah, I don'treme. We had our dog in our
will. Matter of fact, wegot to change that and take him out
because we lost him in twenty seventeen. I think if we need to take
them out of our will, butwe had friends taking them, and then

(13:52):
we also had money assigned to takecare of them for the annual vet bills
and stuff. But no, wehad somebody lined up to take them if
we ever. Both Cherishing and Ididn't do that. We didn't say put
them down though. Our dogs arejust going to be let out into the
wild. Nothing like two great Danesin a pug just bending for themselves around
the town of Norfolk, mass Yeah, that's a Disney movie, I want

(14:15):
to say. Yeah, it isLX weather mostly sunny with scattered showers.
You might even hear some thunder ahigh round sixty, mostly sunny and fifties
tomorrow forty four degrees In Boston.I'm Heather Ford on one hundred point seven
double ZLS, Boston's only classic rockmorning show, six saxteen with some cesia.
Guy, I'll get back to misterFogerty in just a moment. I'm

(14:37):
distracted by the huge dump in theparking lot here. It's like a semi
tractor trailer filled with red mulch.Red hemlock maultch has been dumped over although
one two six spaces out there,so they got yards. They got some
spreading to do. Oh god,how many yards. That's gotta be twenty
yards when we get next in andget next into commercials. Somehow it sounded

(15:01):
right in my head before I saidit. I want to do a little
experiment. I'm going to go downthere and I'm going to stand up because
I go six fours, you know. I'm going to go down there and
stand next to the pile and gaugehow high that thing is before the bobcats
come and start spreading it. So, yeah, they got some They got
some spreading to do. I don'tspread my mulch until after the flowering trees

(15:22):
drop their petals. We wait tillMemorial Day weekend for that reason. Yeah,
we got a lot of trees todrop their craps. So it's uh,
yeah, and I use black mulchbecause we get the White House.
It's a whole thing. But yeah, I do the same thing. We
wait till late May to do that. But there's your tip of the morning,
your landscaping tip of the morning.Yeah. Get well. I finally

(15:43):
got out yesterday with my jetpack,leaf flower the steel. Thanks to Pete's
the recommendation, I finally got outthere. First, I had to rake
up all the broken branches and sticksthat had accumulated since my last cleanup,
which I think was around like Februaryor something like that, when we had
one of those big windstorms. Andso I've got my protective ear pieces on,

(16:04):
you know, my headphones, theadphones, the cans, and I'm running
my steel and something catches my eye, like just over my head, so
much so that I quickly darted outof the way. And it was a
redtail hawk and it was like topgun. It was buzzing the tower,
me being the tower came right overmy head. It must have swooped down

(16:26):
from my neighbor's tree, and itwas clutching and its talons. It was
either a very large field mouse ora baby squirrel, uh huh. But
it was gray and had a longtail hanging down and it was ready to
have its lunch. And when Itell you how close this thing was to
my head, I went on Jesusand I had the headphones on and the
leaf flow were going, so Ihad no idea that. Yeah, you

(16:48):
wouldn't have heard it sore by,right. Yeah, So after it buzzed
the tower and it didn't have clearanceto do that, by the way,
it went right over my shed intomy neighbor's tree to enjoy its lunch.
But that was a close call,close call with the red tail hawks out
there. Yeah, I guess thehawk cabinet's own meal is better than a
black bear having you for a meal. Yeah, sneak it up on you

(17:10):
with your big blower. Between thathawk yesterday and the coyote today, I'll
tell you it's a mutual of Omaha'swild kingdom in here. So yeah,
listen, we just came out ofsome Fogerty with CCR there. His tour
mate this summer is none other thanGeorge Thoroughgood. In between those headlining dates
one up in Gilford and one outin Lennox at Long Meadow or I'm sorry,

(17:30):
Tangle would rather Fogerty and Thoroughgood.Thoroughgood is going to be doing a
headlining set right here in Boston atthe Wilbur on June eighteenth. We can
get You in coming up at eightforty in our Classic Rock Class one HUNDREDWZLX,
Boston's only Classic Rock Morning Show,five six twenty nine on this Wednesday
morning, Kenny Young, Pete McKenzie, heather Ford. Wow, I just

(17:52):
noticed looking at our show sheet hereour agenda for the morning, A lot
of wildlife encounters to be about today. Yeah, no kidding, another one
here. This video has been circulatingfor a day or two. Jacksonville,
Florida, barefoot man wrangles alligator.Now, I don't know if you've seen

(18:14):
it. I've seen a bunch ofalligator things in the last few days,
all of them different. One analligator trying to get into a door of
house in Florida. Yes. Theother one is a guy walking down his
front steps with just a pot ora pan in his hand, and he
goes up to the alligator and heswings it and he goes gee it and
it gets But I don't know ifI've seen this one. And there was

(18:34):
another one aside from this one,where a guy was the alligator grabbed his
arm. Oh, I was justgonna mention that pulled it so hard,
pulled out of his socket. Didn'ttake the arm. But this guy,
this guy in Jacksonville, Florida,turns out. And the reason I'm bringing
it up because I know the videohas been out there a couple of days,

(18:55):
is because I didn't hear the wholestory. I mean, I just
saw the video. This guy wasat a hockey game with his kids.
He's an MMA fighter, he's knownhis name is Mike dragich Up. He's
a dragon. He's known as theblue Collar Brawler, and his side business
wrangling alligators down in Florida. Ohyes, it is. Yes, is

(19:18):
a physique for it. The guy'sjacked. He does. He totally does.
So he's at this hockey game,like I said, with his kids,
and he gets a call to gowrangle an alligator. He leaves the
hockey game to go wrangle an alligator. I was at the hockey game with
my kids, so I wasn't preparedat that time to catch a gator.
Uh So I just used what Ihad was is my bare hands and my
bare feet. It was his barefeet, his MMA training. Yeah,

(19:42):
he's barefoot. Because when I firstout the video, I knew nothing about
the backstory. So here's this guyin the middle of a street in suburban
Florida and he's barefoot, just ata tank top and shorts and a master
yeah, I mean grabs it bythe tail, ends up, hopping on
top of it, on its back. It was a good down on its
neck. Yes. Then then grabsthe gator's mouth and it's yeah, it's

(20:04):
a big boy. And he picksit up after he tapes its mouth shut
and walks away with it, muchto the delight of the onlookers. Unbelievable.
But this, this South Carolina storywas crazy too. This this gator
was even bigger. So this dude, William Georgiitis Georgiadis dives for fossils in
a river in South Carolina. He'sbeen doing it for like eight years.

(20:25):
And he came face to face asan alligator made a bee line for him.
It was the Cooper River. Butyeah, to your point, Pete,
As the gator came to him,he put his arm up defensively and
it locked onto him, and hesaid, the only thing that saved him.
He thought, this is it,this is the end. It's going
to grab him, barrel roll him, and you know, the gator dive,
gator roll, he said. Hehappened to have this like screwdriver that

(20:47):
he uses to like chip away fossilsand barnacles in this river or whatever.
So he had it and with theother hand, he was stepping at the
gator, staring, you know,inches away from him. He said,
if if he hadn't had his airregulator on, he could have kissed him.
That's a little, a little tooclose from me. Imagine that rush
of adrenaline. Oh man, youknow it. Come to find out,

(21:08):
it did drag him down about fiftyfeet into the murky depths of this river.
He's lucky. Geez. I don'tknow if you're that guy. Are
you diving back into the river anytime? So Boston's only classic rock morning show
one UNDERD point seven WZLX six fortythree, forty six. I think we're
gonna hit sixty today. But showersmoving in, which is good news because

(21:29):
I did my first mow of theseason, so I'm gonna let it all
get sucked in to the roots ofthe lawn back there. I'll tell you
what. It's greening up nice.Like I said, my yard kind of
looked like the Kentucky waterfall, looklike a mullet in spots. You know
what I mean. I had nicedeep patches and then a little, a
little runoff. A few showers.Good for the lawns. Yeah, but

(21:49):
today's opening day for the Standard ElectricGolf League. Oh so I'm hoping those
showers move out before I three tentea time. I think there's first one's
off by the way of seventeen groups. I think you might farewell because I
saw like later in the evening theremight be a couple in the afternoon,
but like later in the evening,it looked like that's when the dopp Larada

(22:11):
was coming through. Good, wecan get our asses kicked. I have
a secret sound for you people.We just came out of the Mighty Zeppelin.
So let's take you over to Englandfor this secret sound. See if
you can identify what this is.Any guesses, Well, they're cheering.

(22:37):
Until they were cheering, I thoughtit was a Chihuahua puppy. The first
thing that comes to mind is theseagulls stealing food. Oh, very close,
pee, very close. That isa real seagull. What you just
heard right There was a nine yearold winner of the europe and a seagull

(23:00):
imitating contest. The screeching contest iswhat you just heard there. Yeah,
from hailing from Derbyshire, England,Cooper Wallace aka seagull Boy. He's been
honing his skills Heather for three years. Yes, I can't believe that the

(23:23):
screeching contest warranted that big of acrowd. And the kid was all dressed
up like a seagull. So thereason stealing sandwiches out of everyone's hands they
were sitting there. Cooper took upthe art of Hull's screech gull screeching after
being nipped at it during a tripto the beach the summer before, so

(23:45):
he embraced his predator. He says, I just wanted to recreate the noise
that I remember when I got peckedby one. But overall I like seagulls.
So you know, there was likea thirty year old that was pissed.
I've been doing this a long timeand how long comes this nine year
old and steals my thunder? Well, listen, we're not stealing anybody's thunder,

(24:06):
but we are adding to it.See this is the type of goofy
stuff I find on the instagrams.And maybe you've done a scroll before over
on our Instagram at w ZX.Well, today's Wednesday, and as you

to your concert itinerary Here from aPlanet Fitness WCLX Studios. How now,
thanks for making us part of yourmorningdlines. Heather, great story one point
seven WCLX bod. I always lookup when I'm at a gas station and

(24:53):
look at all the areas in whichyou know, fire suppressant and can come
down. You know those little likethey're like little skin hoses, all those
little hoses. Yeah, I meanyou're just like wow. I hope Sometimes
not all the time. I thinkto myself what I would do if my
car caught on fire, or ifsomeone else's car going on fire? Would
I have enough time to hop inmy car and drive away? Do I

(25:14):
have enough space to do that?Do I just grab my wallet and run.
Do you guys ever do that whenyou're in a situation or not?
Yeah, not only do I dothat, but when I'm at a gas
station, it's like at a majorintersection. All I for some reason,
I get this really dark thought ofa car or a truck careening towards the
pumps, and I'm always just aware. I'm always looking around. If there's
three pumps, I never take thecenter. So that happened in our town.

(25:37):
The car, the big truck camearound that, the bigger of the
two rotaries, and took out thecenter pump at that gas station right in
the center of Norfolk. And Imean, and that used to be a
full serf and there were kids thatwere pumping gas. It's now self serve.
And I'm pretty sure that's because wouldyou ever want to put anybody in
that kind of danger? Again,Yeah, I don't know. It's pretty
random and rare, but still youwouldn't want to. Truck went straight through,

(26:00):
took out the whole pump, andthen hung off the end of that
man yard for a while. Well, given those hoses, you know that
are on top of the canopies ofgas stations, any one, yeah,
you know I've known what they are, but never seen them in action.
So I think we got a tasteof that. Yeah, we did gas
station misshap leaves, cars, businessescoated in fire suppress and powder where right

(26:22):
down the street here? Oh yeah, So this happened yesterday afternoon following a
discharge of the station's fire suppression system. Did you see the video? Yes,
it's crazy. It looks like itlooks like a cloud has landed on
the ground, Like if you everwanted to know what it would look like.
It's like not even foggy as muchas it is a land cloud.

(26:45):
It's just of course there were peopleat the pot. It's almost like an
eclipse. It's such a rare sight. Get off a white out. Yeah,
all of a sudden we heard abig explosion and it was like white
smoke, powder. You couldn't see. You couldn't see, like you're hand
in front of your face. Itwas such a panic moment that I felt
like we had life and death,like we gotta go where it's gonna explode

(27:06):
it. It was like a wholebunch of like booms booms. I couldn't
see anything. It was literally liketerrifying, and the kids were like choking
on the stuff that was coming out, like they're traumatized. It was like
an extinguo charge just going in yourface and you can't breathe. It's everywhere
because the windows were down. Itwas one of the most traumatic experiences I'll
never forget. So it's a bakingsoda based powder. Uh huh, yeah,

(27:30):
yay. Did you take anything fromthose comments that you don't want to
be there that it sounds like anexplosion. We're smelling some lawsuits coming.
Oh, traumatizingn't even think about justto let you know, and there will
be lawsuits. It just went offout of nowhere, like it just car
damage. There's car damage, cardamage, there's there's trauma, there's kids

(27:53):
choking, there's lawsuits. You knowwhat else I took from that clip is
the alternative altar tternative. Wow,I can't even speak now pronunciation of extinguisher.
It was like an extingo chart.She was like questioning and she's like
extingo chart. I know I'm doingthis wrong, and I can't believe you've
caught me on a recording Like she'sgoing home, She's like extinguisher, duh,

(28:15):
right, it's just every day Whyand you're so hyped up and she's
full of baking soda. Well,list was taking the odors out of the
car, right, Yeah, youknow what baking soda does. Absorbs moisture.
Yeah, and yeah, all thethings. And then we'll follow that
up that happy story even though it'snot happy. It's just kind of quirky

(28:37):
with a sad quirky story because Ikeep this is the headline on NBC Boston.
Cape Cod woman's death sparks battle overwhether her horse should live. I
mean, just swallow that into yourmind for a second. Efforts underway in
Cape Cod and Sandwich to save ahorse whose owner died after expressing she had
wanted the animal to be buried withher. Her name was Barbara Dollins.

(29:00):
She her dying wish was to beburied with her beloved horse, Brady and
you got it named after Tom Brady. She died of stomach cancer and now
she was thinking it would be inthe best interest of the horse. The
horse is older, it can't beridden anymore. It had an injury.
But no one who's involved in thisright now wants to put this horse down.

(29:21):
No, because the horse has nosay you know, yeah, that
seems horse doesn't get a choice,or just like, is anyone gonna ask
me what I think? I mean, although I don't have a problem with
it. You know, she ownsthe horse and they're expensive. I mean,
I do feel bad for the horse. I do too, but I
keep thinking to myself, there arepeople who think my animal couldn't live without
me. There are people who feelthat. I I totally get it.

(29:44):
I think all animals can live withoutus, except for the food parts.
But some people just can't grasp that. Yeah, I did, Although like
Bruto, remember our pug who waswith when Busky died, our very first
dog. He immediately went blind anddeaf and became very sad until he died.
Oh so I think losing another dogmakes them sad, But I don't

(30:07):
know about losing us. Yeah,right, so here, So there's so
that the horse is being kept ina facility right now, and the person
who's holding onto the horse wants thehorse to live, and there's like a
state rep who's like, please don'tlet this happen. It's in your blood.
You can't take it out. Barbarawas with horses or whole life.
All those horse people know that takingon the horse. There was no there's

(30:27):
no guarantee. The only guarantee thatBarbara could see was the horse would be
safe in heaven. He can stayhere. Someone wants to keep him here.
We have no qualms about him stayinghere. It's just I have multiple
horses. I can't afford another one. Yeah, you got a pace for
it. So they're looking for people. Is that what the state reps asking?
Basically? Will someone please come forward? Tom Brady? Yeah, his

(30:48):
horse is named after him. There'ssome sort of sanctuary for the save his
horse. Yeah, we're trying tosave Brady. I think we can find
someone somewhere that will, in away, honor Bob and resolve this situation
in a positive way. We alreadylost one Brady, he sang, let's
not lose a second. Listen,not by any chance. But if that
horse were to come live with me, I don't think it's chances of survival

(31:11):
would be very high. So itmay work out, Yeah, exactly,
z Lex. Weather mostly cloudy withscattered showers. You might even hear some
thunder, a high, round sixty, mostly sunny, in fifties tomorrow,

myself, Pete McKenzie, Heather forwardwith you. We had to examine
the how many yards of red hemlockmalts? Do you think that is for

(34:50):
the facility here? It's taller thanme at some points. Yeah, and
I'm six four, so a goodeight foot tall, probably by six foot
wide dump of mulch that's sitting outthere. Kenny, I've I've had seven
yards delivered to my house and it'sabout maybe a quarter of what's out there.
Yeah, so I'm guessing that's aroundthirty yards of multi. Well,
let's put it to the landscape experts. Check out our instagram at WCLX and

(35:15):
you'll see the video that we posted. Maybe you can give us an ESTI
minutes to how much mulch that is. In other news, is what's going
on with Boston's only classic rock morningshow on one point seven WZLX. So
this great company, iHeartRadio has apartnership with Wendy's. So we've been going

(35:36):
around town and serving breakfast to variousoffices in the area and yesterday, I'm
gonna start with Liz Sahata. Liz. Liz is a commuter from Hanscombe to
downtown Boston every day on the CommuterRail and as a fantastic listener of the
show Top Notch. Love you,Liz, thank you so much. And

(35:59):
I know she's a listener. Sometimespeople say their listeners, but when they
recite pieces of the show and uh, you know, share different stories from
Heather, from Kenny, from me, you know they listen. Yeah,
you know they listen. The otherguy is Mark. And these are people

(36:20):
that I met yesterday at a governmentagency in Boston. Yes, I said,
a government agent. Oh, likeyou feel you're so self important today,
my god, and like you're awhole new man. You're like,
I just want you all to knowthat I'm more special than you. Now.
I've been to places you'll never be. I've seen things I can't even
tell you. Yes, that's howyou've been all morning. I know it,

(36:42):
I know it. I sent Lizan email this morning and said,
because it really made me feel proudas an American to walk through this government
agency and see what they do forus. Yes, and I thank them
for that. Oh you let mejust give you one thing I can tell

(37:06):
you is they're an investigative agency,right, Okay, so you're familiar with
the scamming that goes on with thescanning of credit cards. Yeah, maybe
a gas pump or grocery store.We've been, oh yeah, everywhere lately.
Yeah. I feel like I knowwhat they look like, but I
don't. They look so much likethe real thing, you would not know

(37:29):
the difference. It's not like you'regoing to see an extra little box next
to what's there already. It's justcompletely camouflaged. Okay, So I will
tell you what they told me,and maybe you do it already. Don't
use your debit card. I neverdo, right, I never do,
I said I. Every time someoneuses their debit card in someplace like that,

(37:52):
I'm always like, why would youdo that? Just use your credit
card. Don't give anyone access toyour bank account. Yeah. I like
to rack up my points at thegas. I never I don't even have
a debit card anymore, but peopledo it. I know. It's going
to be really hard to convince mywife not to do it or not to
do it. Why don't they justuse their credit cards? I've been telling

(38:14):
them. It's just it's not hardto convince them just to pick out another
piece of plastic. I know,you know what I mean, even stopped
doing I've stopped inserting the chip.I can't do that. I just tap.
You can't do that either, Kenny. You can't tap. Not with
a debit card. No, no, no, no, I'm staying with
my credit card. I don't know. I don't even insert the chip anymore.
Card's fine. Yeah, credit,Well that I shouldn't say. The

(38:35):
credit card's fine. You still haveto deal with it, but it doesn't
get go directly out of your bankaccount, and it's not as expensive.
I remember you guys like fighting meon this like a couple of years ago,
Like you and Kevin are like,no, I just use what's the
difference. And I'm like, it'sdirectly attached to your bank account, right,
and it's money you can't recover exactlynow. Credit card, the most
you're gonna pay is fifty bucks.I just I never understood why people would

(38:58):
do that. Yeah, well Idon't even have a debit card. Well,
Moyer is there's a fear there,I think among the consumers. You
know, when you have a youknow a credit card with some of them
now over thirty percent interest. Ipay it off at the end of the
month. Yeah, not everybody cando that. Not everybody can. But
still, even if I would ratherhave that, then someone go directly into

(39:20):
my bank account, right right,So there's your warning from the government agency
I visited yesterday and I have toI do have to mention one more guy.
His name's Erin Okay, and Aaronis responsible for when we get important
visitors into the city. And bythe way, Aaron. When I looked
at him, I thought, ifthis guy's nineteen, I'd be surprised.
And then I looked at him alittle closer, and while he was talking

(39:43):
to me, I thought, I'mgoing to guess his age. This is
what I'm thinking to myself. I'mgoing to guess his age thirty four because
he looks older than he is.So I said, hey, Aaron,
I'm gonna guess you're thirty one yearsold. He gives me a fist bump.
He goes, I'm thirty two.I was gonna say, that's a
young name. You know what Imean. You know, there see a
lot of super young so I meanAaron Burr aside Aaron is responsible for creating

(40:09):
ways for these important dignitaries that visitthe Boston area how to get around town
where they're gonna go. Maps itall up. That might be the hardest
job of all the cities. Ohmy god, nothing simple here, dude,
strategic planning. I'm just I wasfascinated by you know, their life
and what they do for and it'slike water. It's their job. Yeah,

(40:31):
so it's like water off their back. You know what people are like
when when they find out you doradio, they're like, wow, they're
wide. That's how I was withthem. You get to pick all your
own music, right, So verycool. Agency. God bless you for
what you do. Thanks for keepingus safe. Thanks for giving Pete a
giant nogging over all of this too. Pete. All I could think about

(40:53):
was you entering this facility was theopening to get Smart. So I'm just
wondering that get smart, Kenny.It's more like the Matrix. Dude.
I'm wondering, no, because allI good picture is you enter the building.
I wasn't even born when that showcame off, neither was I,
but I grew up on reruns ofit and I used to watch it all
the time ninety nine. Yes,I love Don Adams, but no,

(41:16):
because you had to go through theelevator and remember there was all the passageways.
I'm telling the fake with the Matrixreference. Do you remember the opening
scene in the Matrix when Keanu Reevesis in that cubicle area with the long
hallways. That's what it looked like. That's what it looked like, lots
of cubicles. Did you did youget any souvenirs? I did. I

(41:37):
got a T shirt, two pens, and I got a challenge coin a
T shirt. What's that? Ican't tell you what the challenge coin is.
That's privileged information. Apparently we're notprivy to that, Heather. That's
okay, I'm not privy to thechallenge coins, my goodness. Seven four.
Now, hey, keep in mindwe're going to be bestowing the thousand
dollars bribe upon you won't have touse your debit card, well not to

(42:00):
a card. It's all perfectly legal. It's on the up and up,
and it's coming up at nine toten. Your first to thirteen chances to
grab a grand today from a PlanetFitness, WCLX Studios, Horizon Sile now
now, thanks for making that partof your morning lies. Heather Idiot,
Great Store Bank on one point sevenWCLX, Boston. Just an update in

(42:21):
case you didn't know this already.The car chase that happened through Kenny and
Petestown and started in PbD or thecar was stolen in PbD and ended far
far away with a crash. Driverof that vehicle was fifteen, fifteen years
old, ten years old. Ihave a seventeen year old son and a
fifteen year old son, and Ican't even imagine the chaos that would be

(42:43):
going on in my son's head ifhe was in a police chase through towns.
First of all, he's never drivena car or a lawnmower, so
because that's like that's your gateway drug, right, the riding lawnmower for some
people. Sure, anything with fourwheels in all cars. Yeah, never
done any of those things. SoI saw. I thought, fifteen,
are you kidding me? That's agood way to start out life. But

(43:06):
you know, you can change change. There's second chances for this other story,
the six year old man kill anybody, but there's second chanced a lot
of damage. Uh, there's athere's a sixty year old man in Somerville
who's accused of assaulting women while posingas a what at a home business therapist?
That's close. How about a shoesalesman? How about a hope a

(43:30):
chiropractor? Hees shoes. Jose Mendezcharged with two counts of a decent assault
and battery on a person over fourteenin decent exposure, and operating as an
unlicensed chiropractor. So yay. Hewas arraigned in the Somerville District Court.

(43:51):
He's a gem of a looking guytoo. Oh God, Kenny, have
you seen him? I have not. This is the worst picture. I
don't know why. This is theonly picture I have right now, but
this is the story. Oh goodlord. He has no neck fifty,
which is what his bail was saidat. He almost looks like that ninety
day fiance guide almost does almost Yeah, just different here. So it found

(44:12):
out that he was allegedly operating anunlicensed chiropractic. A chiropractic business out of
his Cross Street home, so he'dbeen operating his business through word of mouth
and referrals in the community. Mightnot have been licensed, but I'm sure
he studied the body. It's sogross. I feel so bad for women.
We're just constantly accosted by weirdos.And then let's go back to my

(44:36):
favorite story for the morning, becauseI wasn't caught in it is the story
out of the gas station in Maldenwhere you know those little tiny skinny tubes
that are coming out of the roofareas of the gas station, you're out
of those ceilings, well one ofthem. The whole system accidentally went off
and if you're wondering, what's inthere is baking soda, kind of a
baking soda powder. It looked likea cloud had landed on the planet,

(44:58):
like not fog, and it lookedlike it had collapsed down to the ground
and ruined all the things, andthere were people at the gas pumps.
All of a sudden we heard abig explosion and it was like a white
smoke powd. You couldn't see Youcouldn't see it, like your hand in
front of your face. It wassuch a panic woman that I felt like
we had a life of death,like you gotta go, hor it's gonna

(45:19):
explode it. It was like awhole bunch of like booms booms. I
couldn't see anything It was literally liketiprifying, and the kids were like choking
on the stuff that was coming out, like they're traumatized. It was like
an exting X single chart, justgoing in your face and you can't breathe.
It's everywhere because the windows were down. It was one of the most
traumatic experiences. I'll never forget.You know, that woman's at home right

(45:40):
now going extinguisher. I just extinguisherunder normal circumstances, when there's not a
camera in my face, I sayextinguisher. It was like an EXX single
chart. Even if she's even questioningherself, she's like, can you believe
I just did that? Like anex single chart or a woman. I'm
gonna guess she's up bey next thingwith sure and she's probably on the phone

(46:01):
with a lawyer. Oh maybe,Oh there's gonna be so you know,
there's probably insurance. But yeah,I mean it accidentally went off. It's
not like there was a car fireor anything. All of a sudden.
They're just pumping gas the next thingthey know. Kids are traumatized. Mentioned
the word trauma. Yeah, they'realso catching them right after it's happening.
It probably did feel traumatized. I'msure. Yeah, I've actually said the

(46:23):
same words to describe it yourself.Like I thought there was an explosion at
the gas station and me and mychildren were gonna die, I certainly would
have called a lawyer. I sawa picture of some dude with like a
T shirt. He was trying towipe some of it off the windshield and
it was like a good inch ortoo thick making a cake. Yeah.
Well, it's a great video becauseyou know, you don't get to see

(46:43):
you see the hoses up there onthe canopy of these gas stations, but
you never see him operate. Sothank goodness, it's like Tony Montana's desk
at the end of Scarface CLX.Weather mostly cloudy with scattered showers. You
might even hear some thunder, hopefullybefore Pete's golf begins. I high around
sixty today, mostly sunny in fiftiestomorrow forty four degrees in Boston. I'm

(47:05):
heather Ford on one hundred point sevenw z LX. I don't want to
get you guys too excited here.It's National Pigs in a Blanket day,
So just prepare accordingly, is allI'm going to tell you. With your
mini wienies and your little balls ofdough there. But it's another important day
for the city of Boston. Let'sgo to the talkbacks, Heather. I
just learned that in nineteen eighty nine, Massachusetts named today New Kids on the

(47:29):
Block Day, And I thought youwould be interested in that from you fake
loving them? Oh, you're what. I had a fake love them.
You fake love them. I hadto because everybody picked one to like.
I mean, they're nice guys.I've met all of them now, right,
but I had to. I gotJonathan when then I married to Jonathan,
so it worked out. And Ialso had a crush on a Jonathan

(47:49):
at school. What about Johnny?Do you like Johnny? No, someone
had already picked Donnie. Her namewas Dawn. John got Donnie. He
was a bad boy, the badboy the group I got suck with.
Yeah, and it's fine. He'sa nice guy and they're all lovely people.
But I wasn't really in the NewKids on the Block. But I
do have all their trading cards nice, and I still as a fake fan,

(48:10):
I still have all of them nice. Yeah, you're gonna be doing
the dance now, you know,there's only one thing that can wipe the
sound of this out of our ears, and that's the sound of the Mighty
Zeppelin. Beck David Hanson, onehundred point seven WZLX, Boston's only classic
rock morning show, eight twenty onenow forty seven. Still drive. For
the meantime. Things are calm,but I guess showers are coming this afternoon,

(48:31):
Pete. That doesn't bode well foryour golf league this afternoon. Yeah,
I've been watching the radar, Kenny. You know that Joppler. You
got the Dappler going, the Dopplergone. I know the showers will be
moving out plenty of time. I'mat an impass because I'm supposed to be
playing in the middle of the afternoon. Before you go, I like,
I don't know, one o'clock orsomething like that. It'll be close for
you. I'll bring my weather gear. I'll bring it's way out, Kenny.

(48:53):
That's what's important. But as everygolfer knows, Pete, if you
put an umbrella in your golf bagbefore you go out, it's destined not
ter rain, correct, Whereas ifyou forget it, it's definitely going to
rain. Yes, I've had ithappen to me. Yes, more often
than I'd like to speak about absolutelywell, rain or shine. We know
one game that will be played onSaturday, correct, Heather, I'm sure.

(49:15):
Well, I mean it's going tobeautiful, but they wouldn't play during
thunderstorms, lightning, nog that.But I have watched soccer games that you
let in snowstorms. Right here,you go like a regular football We are
we talking about the New England Revolution? Yeah? Yeah, and they're still
out there in shorts if it's snowing. Huh. Now they can wear things
underneath their shorts, and they canwear long sleeves and gloves. Okay,

(49:37):
I mean they're not gonna wear hatsbecause they're heading the ball. But I
would like to know what the levelof disappointment would be. Would would there
be like a revolution no pun intendedof sorts if MESSI did not play because
they're expecting sixty five thousand people inOh yeah, it's going to be it's
going to be packed, and ticketsare you know? I I have my

(50:00):
I didn't see my husband yesterday,not once. I talked to him on
the phone, but he had schoolcommittee last night. So I'm not going
to put them on. I'm notgoing to sell the tickets until he's sitting
next to me. So it's notthat it's confusing, but I don't want
to screw it up and all ofa sudden, I don't have the tickets
and I don't get paid for them. Yeah, get released, right?

(50:20):
Yeah? I mean, And ifyou don't know, I'm a season ticket
holder to the REVS so and Ihave been for years. I have four
seats and they're in the seventh rowand they're right behind Messi's bench. So
I love going to Rev's games.I don't necessarily love going to Rev's games
when they lose. And this hasbeen a rough season, and I don't
think I mean, I'm not goingto be sitting there cheering when Messi scores

(50:44):
goals against US, And it wouldbe weird to be in the stadium and
listening to everybody cheer Messi when it'sthe REVS Hall. You're a purist,
you're a pure fan of the Revolution. I like Messi. He's great,
but I've already seen him live atGillette when he played for Argentina. I
got a question, somebody who's neverhad season tickets to a sport When you
do have them, and I knowyou can release them back into the pool

(51:06):
of through the team, right theofficial Yeah, yeah, do they reimburse
you right away or do they waituntil those tickets get sold. I've never
done it. I always go,and if I don't go, I have
friends that will that take the tickets. I always transfer the tickets to people
like I don't do it for money. I'm just saying I've never transferred them
back to the to the revs.But I have heard of people doing that.

(51:29):
Like, well, they argue it. I'm just saying, you're asking
the wrong person as to when youget reimbursed. Yeah, because I don't
know. I wondered, because Iknow people have done it. I just
I don't know if you get reimbursedright away or Honestly, my tickets aren't
that for a season ticket. Imean this, it's not like it's a
trivial amount of money. But forone one seat for the whole season,
it's seven hundred about seven hundred dollars. You've got really good seats, and
I have excellent seats. Yeah,you don't put those back in the pool

(51:52):
because you're getting face value. Yeah, you sell those outside of the pool,
right, and tickets where my seatsare going for I mean, they're
going for between five and six hundreddollars each, like it would pay for
a season. Yeah. See,I tell you, I'm like, why
wouldn't you do that? I'll doit, that's fine. I just don't
want to do it wrong. Yeah, yeah, gotcha. I guess the

(52:15):
other you know, the other questionto me is just out of common courtesy.
You've got sixty five thousand people comingto Gillette to see this guy.
Mm hmm, just tell us ifyou're playing or not. Well, they
can't. I'm sure it's sort ofan agreement, because otherwise there would be
no tickets sold. I mean,this is I'm sure Craft's got some sort

(52:37):
of a that's just not right honest. For him to sit would be from
the very beginning, I didn't thinkhe was going to play because it's turf,
right, and you know, andthat's you know, that's fun,
that's yeah. I mean the coachreferred to that. You'll hear it at
the end of the cut. Herehe is talking Caleb Caleb Porter and uh
Nick Lima, Nick Lima, okay, get you, well, you know,

(53:01):
write it down, but he doesreference Messi and the whole turf issue.
Well, if you're a player thatwants to perform on the biggest stage.
This is a big stage. Yeah, it'll be awesome to see Chillatte
filled out, to see the lovefor soccer in the Boston area. One
of the biggest questions ahead of Saturday'sgame is whether Lionel Messi will even take

(53:23):
the field. Gillette is one ofthe few MLS venues where soccer is played
on synthetic turf. Messi and otherplayers prefer natural grass. That's our mindset
is that he will play. Theyhaven't played on turf this year, but
he played last year in Charlotte.So the other thing is like I think
when he played with Argentina at oneof the games that I saw here,

(53:44):
I think it was one of thosetimes where craft covered the field with grass
and it was a mess because itwas all like lifting up and sod.
Yeah that sounds unsafe, It definitelylooked it. I think that's one of
those moments. Yeah, So Idon't remember last year when I when he
became a member two years ago,I said, oh, and he comes

(54:04):
to Julett, I'm going to sellmy tickets. I go, but I'd
have to do it quick because he'llhe'll say he's not going to play on
turf, right, right, So, I mean this is it's a kind
of a reminds me of when Bradycame back as a buccaneer, right,
and whether or not you know hewas going to play. You knew he
was going to play, you knowwhat I mean? Oh yeah, there
was no question. I mean,you would invest in those tickets. Yeah,

(54:25):
he play unless the week before hegot injured, already investing in these
tickets. Yeah. Yeah, butsee this guy's not injured. I mean
there he's he's able to play.But he could say no because of the
turf, I would say. Imean, if I would rhyme, I
would have I'd say no because ofthe turf. I imagine spending seven hundred
ticket and finding out he's You getthere and he's not playing some really good

(54:47):
players from his team in Europe onthe Miami team. Yeah, but it's
not him. Because you're gonna havea lot of casual soccer fans, not
even cash to see. You're justgonna have people who just want to witness
greatness in person. If old,yeah, I don't know, I want
to know when you're selling those ticketsI know, I I gotta be around

(55:12):
my husband first. I just don'twant to mess with them by myself and
mess it up. I don't messwith messy A twenty eight. Now we

(59:27):
Witch. Sorry, it's just vibeingon that one. It's one hundred point
seven WZLX, Boston's only classic rockmorning show, eight fifty two. Now
what would surprise you more that Lenny'sabout to drop his twelfth studio album or
the fact that his first came outin nineteen eighty nine. Yeah, he's
gonna have as many albums as PearlJam and he predates them by about a

(59:49):
year. So A Blue Electric Lightis the name of the new Lenny Kravitz
record. It's coming out May twentyfourth. A man denied the Hall of
Fame. Yeah he was, hewas, But he did take less than
two weeks ago. He did takethe Internet and social media by storm when
he posted that video. He's said, that video of him working out in
the gym. Yes, he hada message. Oh with sunglasses, leather

(01:00:10):
pants, leather boots and he's workingout on the machines there and doing his
weight training and whatnot. You're gonnasweat more in a leather right, you
know? For his packed fit fivefoot eight frame. Yes, he's five
foot eight, he really You seewhy he's in the shape that he's in.
Guy's jacked. But none was betterthan one of the comments of the

(01:00:35):
twenty four million people that I guessviewed that video saying, Lenny Kravitz may
be the last rock star after watchingthis, who else can get away with
working out in leather pants? MaybeSlash? I don't know. I don't
even know if the man works out. Listen, we turn our attention to
some more entities that really emerged andmade their bones in the nineties. We're

(01:00:55):
talking Live Stone Temple Pilots great doublebill hitting the Expan Center on September twenty
first. Now, don't get anitchy trigger finger with the redial button.

your ticket to rock. This weekit's live and STP, So look for
the link, give us a follow, and those tickets could be yours.

(01:01:16):
The same normally reserved proud going weundone hundred pointing seid another u ZLX Boston's
only classic rock borning show here,Peter Frampton. We can soon say rock
and Roll Hall of Famer Peter Frampton, can't we Peter? Yes for sure?
Yes, indeed. Well. Speakingof Hall of famers, the late

(01:01:37):
great Johnny Cash one of the fewartists to be inducted in multiple hall of
Fames. He's in Country Music Hallof Fame. He might be in the
Gospel Hall of Fame. I'm notsure I know Elvis is, but Johnny
Cash also in the Rock and RollHall of Fame. Thirty two years ago
he was inducted. Yeah, noquestion, I mean Johnny Cash. The

(01:01:57):
name alone is a household name.Everybody's heard of John Cash. And what
caught my eye in this story toowas if you go to our contest page
at WZX dot com, you couldwin tickets to see the Black Keys.
Now the Black Keys I mentioned becausethey are part of this project. They
made a special guest appearance on anew Johnny Cash album, New Johnny Cash

(01:02:21):
previously unreleased Johnny Cash songs unreleased becausehe died before he could release them.
Or he didn't want them released.He probably didn't want them released. Well,
actually the story goes as far asthis article. He was between record
contracts and wrote a lot of musicthat never got published. Now, whether
or not he didn't want to releasethese or not, I guess we'll never

(01:02:43):
know. But his son got ahold of them and he's putting an album
together called Songwriter, and it's comingout in June. Would you like to
hear a selection? Yeah, Icall this one a stalker song. I
don't know about you, Kenny rtOil, I have a bit of a
stalker song. The name of thisparticular track is well, all right,

(01:03:05):
uh, I did preview this aheadof time. Spoiler alert. It has
to do with him doing laundry.Laundry. Listen. I foot it on
automatic and she said down little hisvoice, She said, just keep it
on medium hot. I said,I've done this before, laundry. Then
I opened up the dryer and Isaid it old, soft and light.

(01:03:30):
She said, be Jim for withmy silk and lace. And I said,
well, all right, he's stalking. It's not about laundry. No,
what are you telling me? Areyou telling me laundry? Mat When
he was inspired you needed me totell you that. But he wasn't taking

(01:03:52):
care of her delicates? Is thatwhat I'm to believe that he's not pretreating.
I do like his sound, though, oh everyone does. Yeah,
well I mean not everyone, butmost people do. Yeah, so it's
cool. So I think it's gonnahave twelve tracks on it, and yeah,
the Black Keys, maybe part ofit happened. You always wonder about
the previously unreleased stuff, because youknow, they said when Prince passed away,

(01:04:13):
his vault, his studio vaults hadlike one hundred albums worth of material
that for whatever reason, never sawthe light of day. And now some
of that's starting to be released hereand there. But you wonder if he
himself thought, nah, I don'tthink this is good enough to put out.
Tom Petty was another one. Alot of unreleased music, and how
many great songs does Tom Petty havea few and some we've never heard that

(01:04:35):
we'd probably like, but he didn'tthat he didn't exactly listen less than an
hour away. Now, remember CarterAllen King, the mid days will have
one hundred point seven minutes commercial free. So as you get into work,
he gets settled in for the day, you can settle in with Carter Commercial
free at ten thirty. Here Boston'sonly classic rock borning show. Johnny Boy

(01:04:56):
John bon Jovi man, he's beeneverywhere lately voting the new docuseries that starts
streaming on Hulu on Friday. It'scalled Thank You good Night, The bon
Jovi Story from the Men who LivedIt. Yeah, so he's been everywhere.
He's been on late night promoting it. He's been all over the social
media about it. Is Richie oneof the men who lived it. I

(01:05:18):
would think that Richie Sambor has gotto be part of this Docky series,
even though he left the band inwhat twenty thirteen, twenty sixteen. I
think something like that, you knowwhere else, John bon Jovi's going to
be all over. His name isgoing to be emblazon on an upcoming rest
stop in New Jersey. Really,that's right. He feels very honored,

(01:05:40):
you know, he said in aWall Street Journal article. He goes,
you know, they said George Washingtonslept everywhere. He says, well,
I've pete everywhere, John bon Jovisays. So, he says it's only
appropriate as somebody that's overhydrated that theywould name a rest stop with restrooms after
me, So I'm not going sure. Yeah, is it going to be
the Charing Pike, what exit?Or is it going to be yeah,

(01:06:03):
the Garden State. Will there bea monument there, a plaque? Of
course, you walk into it likeyou know in uh, what is it
Nashville? You stand in front ofthe wings and it looks you know,
everybody takes that this one. Youjust be standing in the hair in the
air. Yeah. Yeah, theeighties bon Jovi like feathery brown mullet thing

(01:06:26):
which he won't let go. Andit's gray shorter. It's much shorter now,
it is it is and gray.Uh. You know, he's not
the first New Jersey native to havea New Jersey rest stop named after him.
Most Frank Sinatra first and foremost.Vince Lombardi's got a nice one.
Is a nice fruity pebbles like airfreshener in that one. I visited the

(01:06:47):
Vince Lombardi one multiple times, tripsdown there. Alexander Hamilton, I didn't
know that he was a New Jerseynative. And apparently he's got one too.
But John says he's he feels flatteredby it. And he says it's
a very new Jersey thing for thisto happen. Well with those names,
I guess he would be flattered.Yeah, he's in some good company there.

(01:07:09):
