happen last night with the the thirdpick in the twenty twenty four NFL draft

(03:47):
the New England Patriots. Fleck DrakeMay, quarter back North Carolina. Yeah,
bull us because we're the Patriots.Is that is that the guy?
Is that the guy you were talkingabout yesterday? Your life? I don't
know like too much about him,and he didn't play in a real tough
league. I don't know anything abouthim. Does anyone know anything about him?

(04:08):
Well? The kid from LSU isthe is the real excitement, it
seems for all the draft analysts.Is he the one that went to the
Bears? No, he was theone that went to Commanders at number two?
Oh what about the first guy,Williams? Was he a quarterback too?
Yeah? Usc, Wow, wasn'tthe first three quarterbacks? First three
quarterbacks? I think six in thefirst twelve picks or something or fifteen picks.

(04:30):
If that had a street fight,who would win out of those top
three? I don't even dream,No weapons, just street fight? Wow?
Yeah, I got a toughness,yeah, d tough. Yeah he
seems to be. Oh Kenny's face. You know what, I'm going to
show you what Kenny did the minuteI said, is Drake made tough?
Look at me, Pete goes eh, Well he tilted his end of the

(04:51):
side half smile. My first impressionsof him, as is he twenty one?
Yeah, it looked like, youknow, they gave him the draft
day hat and it looks so oversized. He looked like a little kid wearing
like his dad's. He gotta remember, Kenny. The older you get,
the younger these people look. Iknow, it's what happens. He doesn't

(05:12):
look like he's beating anyone in astreet fight, but hopefully he can throw
football. It makes you feel anybetter. They all still look twenty one,
twenty two then, just farther awayfrom us, right, Yeah,
So I mean I don't. Imean I'm not. I didn't pay attention.
I don't have TV. I wasn'twatching on my phone. I wasn't
watching either. I woke up thismorning and it said Drake May and I
said, okay, can we getbehind Drake May. I did turn on

(05:38):
Pat McAfee because he did have BillBelichick's sitting in there. Yeah, so
that saw this morning too. Wellthat's what I was watching at eight o'clock.
Yeah, I started watching it rightaway, and Belichick was great.
He was he's great. He didsay it's awesome, said things like he
was needed, that was a positionthey needed to fill. And yeah,
I mean, and he was thereto criticize all the top draft picks as

(06:00):
they came in. I mean,that's how they set it up. He
had packages already prepared, video packagesthat he commented on as these draft selections
were made, and he did afantastic job. I'm sorry, like I'm
saying, he's entertaining. This isthe stuff that he geeks out on,
is analyzing these players because he's probablybeen looking at these these kids for you

(06:23):
know, two years, right,And he wasn't afraid, you know,
his typical belichick in that not everythingis you know, roses and sunshine.
You know, there's some flaws inall the It wasn't just Drake May.
It was every selection in the firstround. He broke it down and criticized,
you know, certain things, andI thought that was cool, kind

(06:44):
of refreshing. You're not going toget that angle from everybody. Drake turns
on Tuesday. Oh there you go. He's had the same girlfriend since high
school. Very consistent with that,But how many girls has he sleptlet since
high school? Well, you knowwhat, here's a picture of him with
his girl, longtime girlfriend, isit me or does he have that?
Do she smile? Is that Doeysmile? Well, at least she's a

(07:09):
brunette. Yeah, that's the onegood thing. I I don't know anything
about her other than you know,he's been dating her since she was you
know, probably seventeen, at leastmaybe sixteen. So his father played quarterback
for North Carolina in the eighties.Huh, and you have brothers that were
A brother was an All Conference playerfor uh North Carolina basketball the Tar.

(07:30):
He was a pitcher for the Gatorsbaseball team. Yeah, part of the
World Series winning Florida Gators. Wow. And his father played for the Bucks
and the Raleigh Durham Skyhawks. Yeah. I mean he's got athletic blood running
through his body. He's got apedigree, a sports pedigree. He does
all right? Well good for Idon't know. I don't know. Is

(07:54):
he number ten? Like what's hisname? That just left you? Because
I thought I saw his college numberwas ten? Or is high school number
was ten? I don't know.Interesting, So does he take that?
I mean, there's not a lotof numbers to choose from. But well,
the benefit is all those people thatbought mac Jones jerseys. They can
put a piece of tape over Jones. Yeah, Zielux Weather Sonny in fifties

eight million. I know that thirteenthousand dollars pails in comparison two hundred and
twenty eight million dollars, but likewe always say. You know, our
one thousand dollars bribe has way betterodds. Hey, yeah, Plus we
spread the money out right, Imean thirteen times a day. Yeah,

(09:22):
thirteen different winners, right. Plusyeah, we're the only station doing one
thousand dollars bribe, whereas your Megamillions, your power ball is in multiple
states and dozens of states. LikeI said, your odds are your odds
are much better. So yeah,Tonight's Mega Millions two hundred and twenty eight,
Tomorrow's Powerball one hundred and forty ninemillion. So pete, do we

(09:45):
at least win like a free ticketor anything? Wednesday night, the last
time I turned the tickets in,we won four dollars. So that is

town, Dudley, not Dudley,Dighton, Dighton, Mass. Find it

(10:11):
on a map. I dare youwhere's that southeast of where I livet uh
huh? Dyton had one another onemillion dollar winter on the New Jaws ticket.
Oh real, yeah, that tendollars scratch. Still have my Jaws

(10:54):
doing this whole second Chance thing whereyou can win a trip to Martha's Vineyard,
overnight accommodations, you get to goto a big celebration to mark the
fiftieth anniversary of Jaws. Hopefully they'regoing to show it from an aquatic location.
You know what I mean, BecauseI always thought that's so cool.
You could sit there on an innertube and watch Jaws, you know,
in the water n somewhere. Yeah, right right, you're in the moment,

(11:16):
You're in the moment, right,and we do a cannon ball?
All right? Is this like webecause we were talking about Drake May about
ten minutes ago. So somebody hasput a picture out. This is from
a Patriots beat writer. So that'sDrake May in a number ten. Yeah.
I don't know if that's a goodluck number for him to have.
Yeah, you can't say. Maybepick nine, eight, save your max

(11:39):
thirteen or thirteen would be better.Just to throw that out from a planet
fitness WCLX Studios. Now, thanksfor making us part of your Morning Lines
with Heather great Store on one hundredpoint seven WCLX Boston. With the third

(12:01):
pick in the twenty twenty four NFLDraft, the New England Patriots select Drake
May, quarter back North Carolina.Yay, question Mark, you know more
than me. I know nothing.I did, uh, I know nothing
about him since the start of theshow. I did look at his Wikipedia.
He has a lot of athletes inhis family, including his father,

(12:24):
a lot of real like you know, collegiate and I think a little bit
moving past that, I couldn't findout who he's named after. Drake Drake
I you know a Canadian pop starwho I can't name one song from No
I can't even be him? Well, I mean, has Drake been around
for twenty one years? I don'teven know. So I think i've been
I've almost been married longer than Drakemay has been alive. Oh I definitely

(12:48):
have. Yeah, yeah, thinkabout that. Let that soak in.
He will be twenty two years oldon Tuesday. Everyone. Yeah, so
that's yeah. I don't know alot about him. I'm not excited.
I should be. He's new.He has number ten. That doesn't sound
exciting either. I feel like heshould pick a new number. Even a
negative number would be better, likeB minus four as opposed to being ten.

(13:13):
Well, Christian Gonzalez switched to numberzero. There you go. Is
that a correct can be a negativezero? Can you be like I want
to be negative thirteen? That wouldbe unique? What if he was a
fraction like two fourths? Right?I mean, do something? Don't be
ten? If you could do anything? I don't know. And do coaches
show up to these events? Likedoes Mayo show up or are they in

(13:35):
like a remote war room? That'swhat I mean? Yeah, Like do
you get greeted by the coach atthe moment that you're drafted or are you
not like did Belichick? Uh?In the past? Yeah, in the
past, that's a great question.But in the past, I've always seen
Belichick on the phone saying, welcometo New England. You know what I
mean. So I think they're insome remote location. But I don't know

(13:56):
about last night. Yeah, well, our coach did speak out about did
you boys speak out about the choicethat they made? Or is he just
talking about the draft in general?No, he was talking about their needs
for a quarterback. Yeah, firstand foremost, this is a guy who
comes from a very athletic family.He's very competitive, he's a likable guy.
He's a leader on the field andobviously has a lot of tools.

(14:18):
And we were very comfortable with Drakeand happy we got him. Yeah.
Did we just get the Eli manningof their family? I'm wondering who did
pretty well? I'll take two moreSuper Bowls. I just I'm not really
sure. So if you haven't heardyet, then just know that the name
Drake May will be all over theplace until forever, or until he's gone.

(14:41):

up to the mic today, dayforty. I don't want to give any
hints on the questions. There's nomultiple choice. But if I give you

(16:11):
a hint, you'll be able tolook stuff up. Okay, yeah,
we don't want to a yeah,right, so we don't want to tip
anybody off. Three out of five'sreally enough of a break. Yeah,
yeah, don't tip my hand.I'd like to quickly address too. This
is complete non sequitur. But drivingin today, you know how, Heather,
I believe your mom is your mom. Your mom believes that we're living

(16:33):
in a matrix. This is asimulation out loud. Yes she does.
She believes that this whole world.I'm not giving anything away. You've said
it before, right, Sure.I experienced something this morning that I immediately
thought of your mom saying that you'renot allowed to say that out loud to
her, though, no confirming herbeliefs. You understand me, dude.
In less than a mile, dida bird disappears something in mid flight.

(16:56):
No, oh, I have anotheranimal story, but that's for driving in
on the Pike this morning. Ihad just passed that digital message board that
the cop sometimes the STATEYE hides behind. Oh yeah, and West Newton there.
Yeah, So I just passed that, and I was coming up on
Newton. Yeah, Newton corner therewith a hotel goes over and I passed.

(17:18):
Sure enough, a car camped outin the left lane, the passing
lane going about fifty I saw that, and you know it wasn't there when
I went by, But go aheadthat time of morning, I'm going about
seventy seventy five right, because there'sno one on the highway along. Yeah.
So this, this white Accord tintedwindows with Connecticut plates is camped out
in the left lane, so Ihave to move to the middle lane to

(17:41):
pass it. Then I get upa little further by our old building in
Brighton and again cruising along in themiddle lane, which is usually where you
can find me. I know whatyou're going to say, And I come
up upon a white Honda Accord withtinted windows with a Connecticut plate in less
than a mile, Dude, inless than a mile ass I was tripping.

(18:03):
I'm like, weird, this isthe weirdest thing. I see that
as a matrix moment, I getit, and then I had to go
to the left lane to pass it. I was like, how did this
car get ahead of me? I'mlike, I wasn't that foggy or blitzed
when I came in this morning?A little rob ever was right, mister
Anderson, he definitely wouldn't have beenthe one in the car had been jumping
over the car right. I didn'tknow if I should take the red pill

(18:25):
or the blue pill. Bluebird skies. What a godgeous Friday we have in
front of us here. It's kindof young. Pete McKenzie heather Ford.
Had anything happened last night on theTalking Picture Box? I was busy playing
cards last night. Did anything happenlast night? Right? Yeah? In
the twenty four NFL Draft, theNew England Patriots like Drake me quarterback Carolina.

(18:49):
I mean, I'm excited that theyactually used the third pick, and
I'm also excited as a lifelong Patsfan that they took a quarterback. You
know, I know Mac Jones twentytwenty one or was it twenty twenty went
fifteenth overall twenty one. Yeah,so I think you should be excited.
Yeah, And I think what I'mexcited for about the Patriots is that they

(19:12):
already have a quarterback in Jacoby Brissettewho is a Polished forgot we got him.
He's a Polish veteran man. Heis a he's good yep, and
that's a good leader to have andnot have to put Drake May right into
the fire. Kind. Yeah,he's a good mentor, yes, exactly,

(19:32):
the team player, consent professional,a huge team player. Has anyone
checked in on Bailey's appy asking fora friend? Right? Not sure about
that situation, But I am sureabout Drake may situation. She's in a
solid relationship. He's been dating thesame girl since she was seventeen years old.
I like, you immediately go tothe girlfriend. What's his girlfriend like?
Well, she's a wife, seemslike a wonderful person. And Michael

(19:55):
is her name. She's only they'reonly twenty one, it'll be twenty two
on Tuesday. So I mean longterm relationship, yes, long term,
but it's not like it's like decades. And Michael Hudson, she is a
junior at North Carolina. She servesas the vice president of finance for her
sorority. I like the fact thatshe's a brunette. She's a brunette.
She likes the fact that she likesthe fact that she's dating a multimillionaire.

(20:17):
Yeah right, It's like when inthe lottery when you get drafted. Did
you hear that little portion it's rightat the very end here, But this
was Drake was asked about when hegot the phone call, And it was
almost immediately when the pats got onthe clock. But when I heard that
phone, remember beside me, youhad kind of had to ring down phone,
the old school phone, remberside mein the draft and you want that
ring? It was this, youknow, ring real early right right at
ten minutes, right when the clockwas picture on the clock, I heard

(20:38):
started ringing, and just kind ofin one of the moments I remember forever
and I cherish I think. Ithink my mom grabbed that phone and took
it with her, so we'll rememberthat. Hey, I'd like to know
what the old school phone is.May is it the iPhone fourteen? No,
it's an old cord list probably likealright, I don't know, Like
I saw a picture of it,and it looked like a landline, it
did. It looked like school landlline, That's what I mean. Like,

(21:00):
wasn't it I mean he didn't havea cord though. Wasn't it like
a cordless landline? Yeah? Right. She took the phone and she's like,
that's it. We'll never use thisphone again. Yeah. Yeah,
you put that in a shoe boxframe. You know, a lot of
people had said, you know,when mac Jones came in, it was
the unenviable task of having to comein after Brady. Right. Well,

(21:22):
and now he's gone, of courseto Jacksonville. But I feel like there's
less pressure on this kid. Iknow the expectations are through the roof,
right, but I feel like,in a way, he's not replacing cleaner
exactly exactly. It's kind of likea nice sorbet, like a lemon sorbet.
But he was asked about Foxborough andhe it's interesting in this cut here

(21:45):
because he tries to throw in everythinghe knows about it so far ready,
not only the history on the wall, but you know, kind of just
a model of there and your workethic, you know, grind it out.
The Patriots has been a dynasty andone of the best areas, best
sports towns. I think is thebest, you know, in the country.
I'm still looking for to getting upthere. I'm getting to see it.
You can see you Let stadium andjust looking forward to that. I
think that's kind of the what coachMayo Preac's such a player as coach.

(22:06):
I can see how you all theguys attract to him and look forward to
playing for him and meeting everybody else. Yeah, the players do attract to
him. What are you sensing thatthe enthusiasm is going to get crushed at
some point? No, No,the guy's excited. He's excited to be
here. Yeah, he's a greatathlete, comes from an athletic family.
He's the youngest brother in the familyof studs. You know, an ACC

(22:29):
Player of the Year. One ofhis brothers in basketball, and another was
a pitcher for the College World Serieswinning twenty seventeen to Ford the Gators.

Great storye w CLX bosson Big Storybroke yesterday, Big story. What

(25:00):
the third page in the twenty twentyfour NFL draft, the New England Patriots
select Drake may not that North Carolinato go cocktails. The COVID nineteen era
outdoor dining rule now permanent in Massachusetts. Let me hear a ya? Anyone
don't even have a ya? Yeah, So they're now permanent. Two popular

(25:23):
COVID nineteen era dining options are nowpermanent mass to go cocktails and updated outdoor
dining policies. Two things that weloved. If you could bring anything out
of that moment, besides, youknow, more time with your family if
you survived it was these two things. So a supplemental budget was passed yesterday
by the legislature here in Massachusetts.So mixed drinks can be sold with takeout

(25:48):
or delivery food orders in sealed containers. Okay, we'll see when that gets
ruined. How how many months doyou give that somebody's going to ruin?
That'll since then? Have you?We will it be one bad accident,
will be two or three. I'mjust saying it. Yeah, exactly Kenny,
it'll I mean people go home withsealed drinks from liquor stores. Yeah,
exactly all the time anyway, Sodon't you against it. And I

(26:11):
think it's much more tempting to comehome from a restaurant with liquor than it
is to come home with a liquorbottle from a liquor store. I don't
know. The intention is clear.With a liquor bottle doesn't mean you're going
to drink it right away. Theintention is clear when you leave a restaurant
with liquor. I'm not talking abouta half drunk bottle of wine with a
cork in it. I'm talking aboutjust leaving a restaurant with liquor with food.

(26:33):
The temptation is there, well,I mean people drink their liquor while
they're driving anyway. I mean that'swhy I mean Kevin used to find like
giant bottles of vodka just empty thrownright on his yard because people would drive
past there. And I still doon my street. I see them on
my ar too, So people stilldo that, But when I would,
I don't know if you two everdid it. Did you ever get mixed

(26:55):
drinks from a restaurant? When youwere ordering during the pandemic, never I
did to go. We would goto Table because Table is one of our
favorite restaurants right for all of ushere. And it was the North End
and it would take me thirty minutesto drive there from home, that's how
little traffic there was. So Iwould drive into the North End. I'd
pick up a whole meal because that'sthe only thing the kids wanted. They're

(27:15):
like, get me the big meatball, and I'm like, all right,
I'm going. Then I would goand I would get all the food,
and then I would get the espressoMartini's And the way they package them,
it would have been almost impossible forme to drink it unless I was stopped
like it was in a way thatit wasn't. It wasn't like there was
a small opening. It was justsealed in a way prepare it. Yes,

(27:37):
it wasn't put together, so youhad to mix your drink when you
got home, but all the ingredientsfor your mixed drink were in your package.
I don't know, but I lovedit. No, No, it's
great. It's it's a nice convenience. But mark my words, they'll come
a day where that law gets reversed. Really, Yeah, I don't know.
It's great just predicting it. Tome, it's it's no different and

(28:00):
driving. I can unscrew the topof a wine box. Exactly different motives.
Yeah, Well, to drink,your motive is to drink. You
go to a liquor store to buyliquor to drink, beers to drink.
I'm just giving my opinion, that'sall. I just don't get it.
I don't understand why it's You don'thave to understand an opinion, do you,
Well, I want to, Idon't. I guess I don't know

(28:22):
the difference between going to a liquorstore and or a grocery store and buying
liquor that you're going to drink thatnight and going to a restaurant and picking
up takeout, because I think it'sthe immediacy of it, because when you
get take out, you eat thefood exactly like some people eat the food
on their way home. That's whatI'm driving it, right, But it's
not like I guess what I'm thinking. Yeah, I guess what I'm thinking
is it's not like McDonald's where you'resticking your hand and grabbing it like I'm

(28:45):
not sticking my hand into that bagand grabbing a meat ball and shoving in
my face. Listen, I thinkwe can all agree that with these tow
go cocktails, don't put the icein ahead of time. We'll do that
at home. Yeah, do theydo that to you? No? I
never had a to go cocktail,but I'm saying that if and when they
do, don't put the ice inbecause it's gonna water it down by the

(29:07):
time I get out. I understand. What about the return of happy Hour?
Is that happening? Do we nothave that here that I don't think
so. No, because again,but there was somebody got into a bad
accident. But you can still drinkearly. They just don't offer deals,
right, which is so yeah,you don't get the deals. But they
were talking about bringing it back,weren't they in Massachusetts. We're good at
killing fun. You know when we'llget it, when there's self driving cars

(29:30):
everywhere. That's when we'll get happyhour back. But you know, AI
will have already taken over the world, so it won't matter. We won't
need drinks. We'll just be pluggedin. Drake May is really the big
story besides the to go cocktails.And if you don't know who that is,
that's a twenty one year old soonto be twenty two on Tuesday,
who was drafted by the New EnglandPatriots third last night. I did not

(29:52):
watch it. I've seen many manyclips of it now I've looked up Drake
May's Wikipedia page. He comes fromcollege athlete royalty and he's you know,
he's the youngest of some brothers thatdo great things. I have no opinion
of him yet. I know he'snumber ten. So my opinion is,
pick any number, but ten.Maybe be I said negative four, be

(30:14):
a negative number. No one's pickedthat yet. I don't even know if
it's legal. I've seen fraction numbers, but I've never seen a negative number.
I go for it. Yeah,be it be or a decimal.
I want to hear. Do youwant to hear a head coach GIROD Mayo
talk about May first and foremost.This is a guy who comes from a
very athletic family. He's very competitive, he's a likable guy. He's a

(30:36):
leader on the field and obviously hasa lot of tools. And we were
very comfortable with Drake and happy wegot him. Likable guy. Is that
a shot at mac Jones. Wasmac Jones not, I don't know.
I don't know. Everything's going tobe dissected, but you know, they
they, you know, reporters immediatelyasked Drake May you know, no pressure,

(30:57):
but when do you think we're goingto get another Super Bowl? I
think obviously the end of goal andI'm just trying to do my best here,
you know, in Boston and inFoxborodo to help the team. I
think that's you know, that's downthe road, and right now I'm just
look forward to, you know,Minnie Cam getting to meet those guys and
see him tomorrow. I think it'sa long time down the road, but
I think that's definitely a goal.Yeah, what does he sound like?

(31:18):
Sounds like it's either a cartoon character, a fast talking Southerner. Yeah,
sounds like thoughts are coming at himquick, fast and furious. Well,
good for him, then, youknow, I'm I'm happy that. I
just I love the fact that wehave Jacoby Brissett in place, and he's
familiar with this, you know,with the Patriots organization. I shouldn't say
system season vet. He's a seasonvet. He's a great teammate, smart

(31:41):
guy, mentor Yeah, good mentor. And it's a good situation for Drake,
made to come in and just learn. Yeah. Do we like that
or do you like to just throwthem in. I like when they learn
because mac Jones had to learn fromunder someone he did. He had a
good rookie season Mac Jones. Youknow, they won ten games that year
and made to play cam whatever's playingat the time. He had a different
offensive coordinator every year he was here. Yeah, it was awful. Yeah,

(32:06):
on different receivers. We'll see whathappens. The listeners seem to have
opinions about it too. This guygave a full scouting report. He's a
big kid, he's mobile, hecan throw the ball like crazy. He's
not going to get on a gamerunning, but he can. He can
get out of some situations. Sohopefully, if I'm gonna work on now,
they need to get so many goodforms to throw to. Yeah,

(32:27):
we need to I'll do it.Well. That's the other thing I heard
about this draft is and you know, I don't follow the draft real closely,
but I did hear somebody say thatthere are a ton of talented wide
receivers in this draft, and likedeep, like like into the fourth fifth
round. Okay, so they'll havetheir opportunities to pick up some talent.
I just had this thought that wentthrough my head and I said, I'll
do it that. If I wereon a football field, me now,

(32:50):
forty eight year old me, evenwith patting on, and someone came to
tackle me like a professional NFL player, the way they tackle people who play
right now, I would be deadbefore my body even hit the ground.
My wife and I say that everySunday in the fall. We're like,
you know, if I took oneof those hits, I'm not walking,
I'm not getting out, would breakwell, unless you're at the quarterback because

(33:10):
you're protected, you're basically in askirt. Nope, even if they go
after me like that, the waythey hit the ground, I would just
be deceased. Z Lex Weather Sonnyin fifties today, sun and clouds in
sixties tomorrow, thirty eight degrees inBoston. I'm Heather Ford on one hundred
point seven w ZLX, Boston's onlyclassic rock morning show. You know,
Robert Plant really leans into that one, doesn't he. It is seven twenty

(33:35):
three thirty nine on its way upto the fifties again Today, Kitty Young
Pete McKenzie, Heather Ford. Let'stalk the Graham, Let's talk the Instagram.
Let's talk about Heather's latest Great Danevideo, which has a striking resemblance
to a voiceover by Morgan Freeman.Yeah, set up this clip with your
dane. That looks like he's verytired. Well, he is tired.

(33:58):
He had a long day of youknow, nothing, nothing and he's only
eight months old and he chases squirrels. Sounds like he had a lot on
his mind here, Yeah, hedid beer diary. The squirrel was back
again today. It mocks me.I will try and release my mind from
this torment. Heather loves Ford atHeather loves Sport on Instagram. It's basically

(34:19):
just my Danes and my Pug's reallytough for a great Dane to try to
chase the squirrel. Yeah, they'rejust not quick, like a horse chasing
a rabbit. He just wants tobe friends, right, that's all.
Oh, he doesn't want to breakits hind legs. My dog doesn't just
you know, wants to be friends. Pete. If one were to go
search your instagram, where would theygo? Well, good luck, Pete.

(34:39):
Underscore Mackenzie you like that underscore,don't you separate you from that?
Pete McKenzie, that's all one word. Yeah, I just Kenny. I
just made something up I didn't wantto do. I didn't know how to
do it. I didn't know whatI would do when I created my Instagram.
Uh, and I'm Kenny Young's Alex. Uh. Listen. The reason
I bring up the grams, Well, there's multiple to bring up the grams.

(35:00):
Pete's got a video posted up that'llgive you a little teaser for what's
coming up later on. And Ishould have been rolling my camera. I
should have been rolling video on whatI witnessed out my kitchen window yesterday.
Speaking of squirrels, there was thiswhole wild Kingdom event going on. As
I was making up my post nappre dinner cocktail last night, I'm looking

(35:21):
out the kitchen window and I gotone of the bird feeders all set up
when I did the yard cleanup.So the birds are so excited. They've
been coming in in droves and they'revery excited. And in that excitement,
they've been knocking down seed on theground, which feeds the other animal.
Sure, the squirrels are very excitedbecause they don't have to try to climb
my apparatus to get into the feeder, which is an anti squirrel feeder.

(35:44):
So they've been eating the seed andthe stuff that's fallen down. Well,
we got this family of rabbits thatlives underneath the shed behind us, right,
Mama, daddy and baby. Well, yesterday I watched the sheer terror
on the baby rabbit's face as itcame over to try to just get a
couple little morsels of seed. Mamarabbits. Right there, squirrel jumped off

(36:07):
the ground and did some sort ofparkore move towards the baby rabbit. And
I was like, what a dI couldn't believe the squirrel was that ferocious.
Yeah, muscled that baby bunny rightout of there. It was this
whole I was just fascinated by whatwas going on back there. And the
wife came through and she goes,you're still looking out the window. I

(36:27):
go, you don't understand. There'sa whole series of events going on out
here that are beyond our control.And she goes, I know how to
fix this. And she goes andshe opens up the slider that leads to
our patio, and that squirrel wasgone, man right up the tree.
Show over, and then in ourdefense, the family of rabbits gathered underneath
the bird feeder so that they couldget a chance at eating right. Damn

(36:50):
squirrels. Meanwhile, never mind theanimal kingdom. You can follow at w
z elex on Instagram. We're inyourself some concert tickets. Today's the last

mount with you. It's Kinny Young, Pete McKenzie and the Ford. Pete.
You had an interesting day yesterday.Number one. You ducked out of
here before our last break at nineto fifty. I thought you were in
the bathroom. Yeah. Well,the reason being was I checked my ways
from here to Curry College yesterday,which is only about I think it's like
twelve miles. I was gonna saysix, eight, ten miles. Yeah

(37:35):
it was. It was saying anhour and four minutes. Oh, and
I needed to be there at tenthirty. I mean normally, you know,
with regular traffic, that'd be abouta forty five minute drive and the
most. But yesterday's traffic was alittle heavier. I think we should find
out what's going on with this office. Indeed, so what's going on with
Boston's only classic rock morning show onone hundred point seven w z LEX.

(37:59):
Yeah, Curry College is where wetook Wendy's Breakfast. And by the way,
the Wendy's Breakfast burrito is start tofinish. Fantastic. I'm happy that
and appreciative that you brought some intoday. Oh wait, well you know
what, maybe another day. Idon't think. No, they don't because
there's chees and they're warm. Hekept them in his car all night.

(38:20):
So and there it's a generous burrito. Let me tell you, it's like,
you know, I don't want todescribe it at inches, but I
will. It's eight to twelve incheslong. Wow, yeah, I would
say somewhere in there like that.What's the girth on something like that?
Three four inches? I can't getmy hand around at Kenny, that's an
impressive, pretty good girth, wouldn'tyou say? Yeah? So I met

(38:42):
also our most impressive listener, JoeAnn Quarley, and thank you for listening.
And the gang there who listened tothe show as well, met some
great people. Had some breakfast,Okay, so then there's yeah, there
were a lot of women there,Okay, late eaters, so there was
a lot of food left over,gotcha. Okay, I mean when I

(39:05):
say a lot of food, I'mtalking about eight or ten sandwiches. They
didn't want to bring any back totheir spaces, right. Yeah. About
how many listeners were there in thisoffice. Out of the twenty people that
were there, I'd say like eightto ten listeners, which is great.
Yeah. One of the guys thatcame up and Joe Anne invited him up
from the grounds crew or from themaintenance department of Curry College. He was

(39:29):
the guy that ended up taking thewhole basket of food that was left over.
So back to that, which isgreat. So none of that food
went to waste. Awesome. Ilearned some things about Curry College. Thanks
Joanne. Are you going to goget a master's degree there now? Now?
Because you go? You know whyI would never do that because I

(39:49):
just like recently in the last fiveyears or so, stopped dreaming about college,
Oh like not making it to myfinal or no, no, the
same Yeah, serious anxiety dreams.We all have the same one s where
you wake up and you realize there'sa class you haven't attended all semesters,
yes, and the final is thatday, right, And you're wondering two

(40:10):
things in this nightmare. One isthe final the only grade I need to
pass this class because in some classesit is. And two was any of
the not being there going to countagainst me? Yeah? And you're panicking
because you've missed an entire How didyou miss a whole class? How,
Heather, I swear I just stoppeddreaming about that. So there's no way

(40:30):
I have any desire all to goback to the college atmosphere. How sad
is it? The only anxiety dreamsthey have is about this place. I
could give you ten minutes of dreamsthey're logged on forever, though they don't
songs running out, songs running out, swearing over the air recently. Yeah
right, Sorry, I don't meanto speed bump your story. I know
that's okay. I do have tospeed bumping. It's conversations. Speaking of

(40:52):
speed bumps. I do have tocongratulate Joanne Farley. She now has a
sign on campus Joanne Farley's sign,because she asked the maintenance department or the
college itself to remove a certain speedbump on campus that was right before an
uphill, like an incline. Yeah, okay, And she said it was

(41:14):
not that it was stupid. Shegoes, My transmission could not get I
have a twelve year old car.My transmission could not get me up that
hill once I hit that speed bump. It's stupid. Oh guess what,
They took it out. Yeah,so I thought that was great. The
other thing was Joanne introduced me toone of the professors there, and I
apologize for forgetting his name. Hewas very memorable guy, so memorable that

(41:37):
I forgot his name. But hewas telling me about on campus there,
and I saw it outside the windowwhere we were having our little conference breakfast
was a radio station. Yeah.Oh w m l N still have to
give the call letters, Pete.Yeah, pretty much every college has a
radio station, right, but Idon't have to get the call letters.

(41:58):
Yeah, you're just sending people togo listen to them. Now they only
have a fifty foot signal. Yeah, but you can stream them. She's
saying, twelve miles away, wecan hear them. So I have to
say the call letters again, Kenny, because I have a fund pack for
of it. Okay, go ahead. WMLN, Curry College's radio station is
the first college radio station in thecountry to offer a broadcast major Oh what

(42:29):
ninety two years old, they're broadcastmajor department. Wow. Think about how
much you're paying for that education,and then how much we all made when
we started in radio, and thinkabout how many how much people are still
making right now when they start outradio. I mean there's some people here
are making like fifteen twenty thousand dollarsa year full time. Can I put
my hand down now? Yeah?I thought that was a pretty good little

(42:51):
fun factors. Very cool. Yeah, you would want a minor in something
that would pay money though. Yeah. So I go over there and I
knock on the door and it's acard key entry, you know, you
got to have a key to getit. Cure location. And it's it's
as big as a you know,it's as big as a two story house.
No garage, but it's it's abig building. And I'm knocking on
the door. I'm looking in thewindows. Nobody's coming to the door.

(43:13):
There's probably one person in there who'son the air right scared. Who's scared.
Yeah, so that didn't happen.I didn't get to talk to but
the professor did tell me that theydid. They that they did at one
time have a Polka music show inthat station. And we're on Beryl Polka
run by an eighteen year old whowas in love with Polka. So when
he graduated, it was gone.It was gone. And they you know,

(43:36):
they stream right, so they're allaround the world. Oh so people
who love were sad. Yes,Oh so the their broadcast department got a
ton of complaints about where's the Polkaprogram? Luckily he had a minor in
engineering and he's in a job nowwhere he's making money. Eighteen year old
polka? Did they have an overlyaggressive program director at the Curry station that's

(43:57):
saying up Pete, you're not sayingthe call letters riding w am alienam Alien.
It's got a flow, got aflow right there. God, it
was great meeting Joanne and the crew. Very cool. Yeah, it was
fun and it's beautiful camp. Ilove the office pop in. I think
that's really cool. Yeah, thoseare fun. Yeah, those are fun.
Good, all right, seven fortyfive. Now on this Friday money

(44:20):
day? When is it not amoney day? Right? Thank you ACDC.
Well, things are just falling intoplace today and I'm not even planning
it. Nine to ten, yourfirst opportunity grab a thousand bucks, thousand
dollars broad from the Planet Fitness WCLXStudios, Horizon's fine. Now now,
thanks for making that part of yourmorning lines, Heather idiot, great story,
thank god. On one point sevenWCLX. Boss. It you ever

(44:45):
just see a story on a websiteand you're like, that's not real,
that can't be. There's no waythis would ever happen in real life.
Well, I saw that this morningon CBB. You mean like Florida.
Yeah, Massachusetts couple says dealer won'ttake responsibility after vehicle mobly stolen. Yep.
So this couple they bought a camperfor twenty four thousand dollars during the

(45:07):
pandemic, thirty three foot as aJCO RV if that means anything to anyone,
And they decided that since school wasn'tgonna happen, they'd all hop in
and they they do the traveling aroundthe country and you know the homeschooling that
was gonna happen during that time.Anyway, they have a lot of family
memories in this camper. They've usedit an s ton since twenty twenty,

(45:29):
okay, And so they took itto a place to have it like fixed,
you know, to have it tunedup and serviced. So they took
it to a place near the EmeraldSquare Mall in North Attleborough and they never
saw it again after that. WhatThey took it to PiZZ RV Center just
up the road, and then theyplaced it in a parking lot at the

(45:52):
Emerald Square Mall. That's where theyplaced the campers. And then the camper
wasn't there. WHOA just try tofollow along. Wet phone call and they
said, actually we can't find it. Complete shock, total panic. We
absolutely loved that camper. We hada ton of experiences in it, and
I didn't really believe that it wasgone. They don't have a system in

(46:12):
place other than handwritten notes about whereunits are. And they made it sound
like they frequently misplaced them game,no cameras, nothing, Are you kidding
me? They frequently misplaced people's property. It went south quickly, they did
not want to take any responsibility forthis, and they don't have coverage.
They don't have coverage. They actuallysaid to us, if we expected the

(46:35):
unit to be stored in a securelocation, we shouldn't have brought it to
them. We had no idea thatit would be here on this lot,
unsecured, and we would have thoughttwice if we had known it was going
to be up here. Exactly likeyesterday. I won't say where I was,
but I was picking up a Iwas redoing a pair of glasses for
Bobby, okay, And I said, can you put new lenses in these

(46:55):
glasses that we bought from them?And they said, and it was all
done and I paid, and atthe end, she goes, can you
just sign this? And I go, okay, what is it for?
She goes that if the glasses,if the frames are broken, it's not
our fault. And I'm thinking tomyself. She goes, outside, glasses
aren't covered, and I'm like,I bought them from your She goes,
yeah, but it's been a year. Wouldn't that have been something I should

(47:16):
have been told to sign before Ipaid the three hundred dollars the lenses put
in there? What I don't getabout this story, and we haven't seen
a picture of it. If it'sif it is indeed, and for twenty
four k a toe behind trailer,right, I'm just wondering. It's like,
why they never got a hitchlock becauseI have one for my rinky,
dank little fishing boat. I gota hitchlock and you physically can't steal it

(47:39):
off my property because it's a hitchlock. The r V company or the people.
The people, well, I'm notgoing to put the blame on them.
They just took their camp, theircamper in to have someone go over
and fix it, and then itwas thought that it would be secured.
Well, you wouldn't have thought thatit was going to be put somewhere where
they weren't going to be making sureit was safe. But why did this
company sound so sup like they weren'tso prized that it got stolen. Well,

(48:00):
yeah, I think that was theirangle, so that you couldn't fight
them. I just I can't evenBy the way, this camper has been
to every state except for Alaska andHawaii. That's how that's how traveled they
were with this their kids in thiscamper. They have memories with this camper.
So it's the loss of the memoriesand that camper. I mean it's

(48:22):
an expensive camper, but yeah,they wanted to keep using it. But
I mean, insurance has to covera stolen vehicle, right, their own
insurance, their own insurance. Butit wasn't on their property, so I
don't know how their insurance worked.If you've got full coverage no matter where
it's stolen. Feel like if you'rea Jillette stadium and you know it gets
stolen there, like when my carwas parked, you know, and got

(48:45):
the windows broken over by the hardrock cafe. I mean, insurance covers
that insurance might cover something, butthis is an old camper and they probably
can't apply that to a new camperin any way that's going to be.
Let them buy one, right,I mean, they've got this money invested
into this one. They probably boughtit right before the price of camper is

(49:07):
exploded because everybody wanted one in thebeginning of the pandemic. Yeah, and
so now they I mean, whatare they gonna buy with the four thousand
dollars they get from the insurance exactly? Yeah, you can't buy anything.
I just think if I take mycar up to my service guy, you
know, in framing him and leaveit overnight, and it gets stolen overnight,
is it covered? Yeah, butit might not cover a new car.

(49:30):
They're just saying, I mean they'reout, they're out of camper.
Yeah, maybe they get some cashback, but they're out of camp.
Well yeah, that's why. Yeah, it's their memory loss of that physical
camper. And you know what,there was a z X bumper sticker on
it too. That's the worst crimein this whole thing. Well, Drake
May, if I say the nameDrake Man, I know these two guys
know what I'm talking about. Forthe casual Patriots fan. Do you know

(49:51):
who Drake May is. That's thenew quarterback. He was drafted number three.
He is, as Pete describes him, a talking Southerner. He is
not only the history on the wall, but you know, just a model
of there, your work ethic,you know, grind it out. The
Patriots has been a dynasty and oneof the best areas, best sports towns,

(50:12):
I think is the best, youknow, in the country. I'm
still looking forward to getting up there, getting to see it. You can
see you that stadium and just lookingforward to that. I think that's kind
of the what coach Mayo preach.He's such a player's coach. I can
see how you all the guys attractto him and look forward to playing for
him and meeting everybody else. Guysdo attract to him, Yes, yes,
One suggestion, Drake, that ishis first name, is maybe don't

(50:34):
take number ten like you are sopleased. But I don't know if that
was his college number two. Iknow it was his high school number.
Maybe take another number. People havea few salty number ten memories around here,
just the recent ones. I mean, it could, it could get
better over time. I'm not sayingthat, but congratulations to the Patriots for
picking up Drake may Is that whatwe say? Are we happy? I

(50:55):
don't know. Well, may Ohis very happy with the selection. Yeah,
you know, I think he hasa chance to go out there and
really to really play at a highlevel. You can talk about potential all
you want to until you reach it, it really doesn't matter. But we
do know the man. We knowthe man is a hard worker. He's
going to do everything it can tobe successful. A couple of talkbacks here,

(51:15):
real quick, Heather, This gentlemanis looking for Pete to step up.
Hey, Pete, imitate that quarterbacka quarterback and some time. Yeah,
that's the study in the process,right, that's a stunning quarterback from
Mark Carolina tar Heels coming up hereto Fox for I would love to watch
your process at work when you gohome, just seeing you on your couch

(51:36):
going watch the video. You know, you start, you let it run
fifteen seconds, you pose it andyou try to repeat what he said.
Listen to boom power a bunch.Right, that's together. I'll tell you
what man got that dang all righton. You just screamed a lot of
bogg and throw down FAITI. Yougot an option route. You can just
say to hit the hot route andyou just go you doing it. Then

to give them to you at sevenfour? Are they Wendy's burritos? Not
exactly? For one, probably Heathercould use one of these little stress ball
Oh thanks yeh Curry College stress ball. Mine is the size of a kickball,

(53:08):
so thank you, Pete. Shealso sent over some uh, I
guess these come from overseas. CostaRica chocolates. Yeah, they're wrapped.
Is their sea salt on the chocolate? You know, I haven't tried one,
Kenny. I appreciate that she wentto the effort of putting together goodie
bags. Yes, she gave uspens too. Actually that does keep getting

(53:34):
love purple. Yes, thank you. I'm going to keep the rest of
this stuff in this bag for yoursum The Center for Global and Career Services,
Thank you. Joeanne, mighty kindof you. Another talk back to
about the ongoing saga this week.Okay, Heather, what are you doing
with your Reds tickets for tomorrow night? Are you're selling them? Well?

(53:57):
Yes, well I still haven't hadany time on my husband. We've had
like passing time. Yeah, butyesterday I asked the boys do you want
to go to the game? Doyou want to go? And one of
them just looked at me, Bobby, and he was like, no,
under no circumstances. And William's likeyeah, and I go, all right,
ask a friend. So we're going. Okay, four of us are

(54:17):
going to the game. So that'simportant than making a few bucks. Yeah,
I mean that's not money I intendedon making, so I would have
so sold well, the ones aroundme went for three fifty each, so
I don't even know. I meanit would have covered It's still a lot
of money, but after the fees, I don't know if it would have
four tickets four I have four tickets. Okay. I have a question,

(54:40):
and actually joe Anne Farley posed thisyesterday at Curry College as we were talking
about your messy tickets. Joe Annesaid, is there a policy for season
ticket holders if they were to selltheir tickets to someone who ended up causing
some problems? Would you lose yourSea tickets? Yeah? I mean if

(55:01):
it was a season ticket that washard to get because you're responsible for the
people sitting in that seat. Youare my buddy, Paul it has the
season ticket holder for the Pats.He says, there is some sort of
repercussions, right, should you knowyou give you take us to somebody that
causes I'm sure there are repercussions forPats tickets Patriots tickets. I don't know.

(55:22):
It might be when they're just tryingto get people to become season ticket
holders. I don't know. MaybeI would lose my seats. I mean
I have excellent I'm seventh row,right, in the middle. So but
remember they do fall under the sameumbrella as the Patriots. No, no,
I get that. I just don'tthink that they would hold them to
the same standards. I mean thatthey might. I've seen some people behave

(55:44):
pretty poorly at games, and youknow those seats still belong to the people.
Yeah, yeah, no, Iwould. I would have dropped those
tickets in a heartbeat. But youdon't like soccer. Well no, even
if I liked soccer, you know, if I had football seats that were
you know, valuable to say something, I just I never felt comfortable posting
them and knowing that if they didn'tsell, I would be able to still

(56:07):
use the tickets. Like nothing feltcomfortable. The reason why I did this
wasn't because I'm like super freaking richand I can't believe that. You know,
I don't need to make money.I would love to make money,
Yeah, but I never felt comfortableposting them and being able to get the
money or the tickets whatever happened.Nothing. Ever, every time I went
to the website and I got readyto post them, something about the posting

(56:30):
made me question sure, And that'sunderstandable. So instead of accusing me of
not being a person who obviously wouldjust throw away money. Just know that
I never felt comfortable posting them tobegin with, Like I went. I
went there three days in a rowand had all the information in and was
ready to go, and then therewas something about it like what's your credit

(56:51):
card? And I'm thinking, what'smy credit card? Are you going to
put all this money? Can youeven put money on my credit card?
Like I never, I've never donethis before. So and when I called,
I didn't have anybody pick up.So it just didn't feel. I'm
you you have been actually every daywell you're saying, you're saying I would
have sold it. I would havemade yesterday. Yesterday you said yesterday said

(57:14):
well apparently yesterday you said, apparentlyyou don't need to make any money.
And I'm I said that sarcastically,yes, yes, and no, because
you brought it up each and everyday. So I'm thinking to myself,
Yeah, I would love to makemoney, but I don't want to lose
these tickets. Right. Nothing feltall the time no, And I get
that, but I haven't yet.And hey, and I'll maybe I should

(57:35):
test it with a ticket that Idon't care about, but with a messy
ticket like this, I care you'resqueezing there. Hey real quick on the
subject to side hustles, we arestill our regret. What regret to this
day is the wife and I usedto live right by Cleveland Circle for almost
seven years. To this day,she says it was her favorite place that

(57:55):
we ever lived together. We werea stone's throw from the country Club and
Brookline. We weren't that farup,a few miles away, right, And
to this day we're kicking ourselves thatwe didn't rent out our apartment in nineteen
ninety nine when they had the RyderCup there. Oh god, Yah.
Airbnb and vrbo wasn't a thing then, But had it been, we say
we would have rented our apartment forthat week and heartbeat, because you know,

(58:17):
homes were going for tens of thousandsof dollars around that country club.
Bookline's definitely a money making time forI know, I know, but yeah,
I'm going she's going messy place revs. Well doesn't matter. I mean,
I'm going for the revs. Sowell, we have our answer.

(58:37):
There you have it, and wealso have one last pair of tickets for
George Thoroughgood hitting the Wilbur Theater onJune eighteenth, Our classic rock clash,
isn't it tho u ze Elax,Boston's only classic rock morning show. You
better lay your money down. We'llbe doing that. We'll be laying down
thirteen grand today to your benefit nineto ten. Your first crack at a
thousand dollars bribe. You know whowould be very interested in that money is

(59:28):
there's no choice. Hey, there'sthese are songs about the weekend. I'm

Hey. As for the rest ofyou, the Wilbur dot com has
your hook hookup and that's a smallervenue to an intimate setting for Thoroughgood.
So so yeah, get them beforethey're gone. Meanwhile, get that cash
coming up at nine to ten.Here one hundred point seven w z LAX,

(01:01:07):
Boston's only classic rock morning show ninetwenty to forty eight, on its
way into the low fifties. Today, I knew it was going to be
a brisk morning because the lovely andtalented mis Sheery Spears was wearing her ll
bean down jacket on the weather deckthis morning. So you know when you
see that, when she breaks outthe jacket to go outside, you know
it's going to be a cold morning. Yeah. I was at the form

(01:01:28):
fitting jacket that she wore. Alittle bit Pete, little bit, little
bit, a little bit skinny,young Pete. McKenzie, heather Ford and
I watched that getaway game the Sockshad against your Guardians yesterday. I was
really holding out hope because Cleveland gotout to a five zip lead after a
grand salami, and a gentleman namedmackenzie was pitching for the Guardians. He

(01:01:49):
was, he was. I didnotice that, and lo and behold.
Yeah, the Socks came up alittle short in their bid, but they
made a valiant comeback. Unfortunately,the Socks are coming home to kick off
a weekend SERI with the cubbies.Well, they love the friendly confines of
Fenway, don't they. Well,they love it, they just don't play
well there. So again I'm tryingnot to be cynical and negative about it,

(01:02:09):
but some positive news in the worldof sports. Yeah, And I
don't know if people that tuned infor the draft did what I did,
because I turned on Pat McAfee becauseI knew that Bill Belichick was going to
be on there breaking things down,and I thought, what a great way
to watch the New England Patriots makethe third pick in the draft with Belichick

(01:02:29):
there breaking down. And by theway, Belichick is great at criticizing.
So that's what he did for everyfirst round pick in the draft last night.
He broke down. It complimented him, but also criticized right their flaws,

(01:02:49):
their weaknesses, which is great.So here is his breakdown with the
new New England Patriot, Drake manbreak may oh, hold on a second,
there we go. Well, Ithink that's certainly a top need for
him. It's quarterback, tackling widereceiver, and so you know, this
is one of the top needs.You know, Drake compares himself a lot

(01:03:10):
to Josh Allen. He does astune doing that for quite a while.
We'll see about that. I thinkthere are some similarities in terms of you
know, size and athleticism that JoshAllen's pretty special player. Now, so
yeah, there's draft season media thiswhat happened on is he's tall, he's
white, he can run Josh,Josh Allen, that whole thing right right,

(01:03:30):
he's a carbon copy of Josh Hall. Well, he's twenty one years
old and has no experience, youknow, so give it time. So
when Drake May got the phone call, he was all giddy about it,
and but I think his mom wasmore giddy about it. Did you hear
this? But when I heard thatphone, remember beside me, you had
kind of had the ring down phone, the old school phone represide me in
the draft. And once that ring, it was this, you know ring
real early right right at ten minutes, right when the clock was you know,

(01:03:52):
pitched on the clock, I heardstarted ringing and just kind of in
one of the moments I remember foreverand I'll cherish. I think I think
my mom grabbed that phone and tookit with her so we'll remember forever.
She kept it as a souvenir.And then you know, he was asked
obviously afterwards about you know, he'sgoing to be having he's the guy after
the guy who followed Tom Brady,so they asked him. Naturally, he

(01:04:13):
knows who he is and he knowsthat he's the tom Brady's the goat.
Now it's easy to say that he'sthe best that ever played this game.
I'm not gonna be Tom Brady,so I'm just gonna try to be Drake
May and from there, I'm justtrying to learn from him, hopefully get
to know him a little bit.And other than that, just try to,
you know, soak it up andab a sponge and try to learn
all I can from him. Andhe's the man of that town. Sometimes
I think to myself, I wonderif here may be everywhere, but here

(01:04:34):
in New England, if we needa quarterback that's not Southern, because I
feel like Southern quarterbacks lack humility becausethey've been told since they were sperm and
egg that they are the best thingthat's ever happened. And Southern quarterbacks,
I mean, I know there's beenplenty of successful ones, but I don't

(01:04:55):
know if I necessarily, you know, give me a Northern one or a
Midwestern onener a California one. Uh. There's something about Southern quarterbacks that I
don't know if that don't work here, right, but but Southern players obviously
do well. Yeah, other positionTerry Bradshaw. You can run down a
list of Southern quarterback No. Iknow those guys have a little bit of

(01:05:15):
humility to but I just I wonder. I wonder if you they look for
that at all. I mean,I know you want someone who's super fricking
confident, but I also wonder ifyou want someone who's not coming in.
Like I've been told, I'm thebest person on the planet since birth,
my brother was the a SEC Playerof the Year. My other brother was
a college World Series picture and likePeyton, Like when you think of Peyton

(01:05:36):
and Eli when growing up, theyweren't the star child of their family.
Their brother who never ended up playingwas, wasn't he? You know?
And I don't know what Terry Bradshawwas like as a kid, but I'm
assuming he was an f up.He's the funniest guy on the planet.
But I don't know. I wasjust a thought that ran through my eye.
Yeah, no, I hear youin that. You know. For
the most part, a lot ofthe fan reaction to Drake May the past

(01:05:59):
draft number three it has been prettypositive that I've seen, But this guy
has an interesting take on our talkbackshere. Hey, guys, the Patriots
screwed up a month ago when theycould have gotten Justin Fields for a late
round draft choice, and then lastnight with the third pick in the draft,
they could have taken Marvin Harrison Junior. I'd rather have Justin Fields than
Drake May, but they that's justme interesting take right there. Would you

(01:06:24):
rather have Justin Fields than Jacoby Brisette? Probably? Probably? Yes, you
probably would. Yeah. I meanthat's been like the only negative thing as
I've seen some people say, hey, we we need somebody for him to
throw it to. But I'm like, I still feel like the quarterback is
the keystone to that offense. Yougot to have a reliable quarterback. It's
all about that in the NFL thesedays. Right, Belichick was right on

(01:06:45):
though you need a tackle that youneed to tackle badly. Hey, Kenny,
you want to go in on aparlay this weekend? What would that
involve now, Heather? No,huh no, Well I'm gonna say no
because every time I've given you money, it's like I just burned. Itally
means you lose. Yeah, Ilove I've won twice with you, so
I love that feeling. But Ican't not the Revs this week no,

(01:07:06):
so what you got for this weekend? Marla Revs. I'm gonna bet Miami
Burry. I'm definitely not in onthat. Celtics. Yeah, Bruins both
Saturday three yeap Brand's Game four alsoSaturday night the Revs. It's a three
team parlay. Thirty dollars pays onehundred and twenty seven sandwiches. I'm gonna

(01:07:27):
do your a guarantee. I'm gonnado you a favor and not throw in
money and watch you'll hit this,You'll win. I swear mark my woods
on this twenty sixth of April.Meanwhile, a quick programming note on the
Boston Bruins Game four on Saturday.Mend and Twin Drive In for the first
time ever, will be showing thehockey game. You can go to the
drive in and watch the Bruins gameSaturday. I think that's pretty cool.

(01:07:48):
That is really cool. Yeah,way to go, mend and Twin Drive
In and again, now I wantfood from there. One hundred point seven
w ZLX, Boston's only classic rockmorning show. You want a Friday A
fun fact about that track, Well, I'm going to give it to you.
It's getting young Pete and Ckenzie Heatherforward the big bass drum that you
hear boom boom during that little breakthe bridge, so we'll call it.

(01:08:12):
Allegedly, according to legend, StephenTyler had procured that giant marching band based
drum from his high school marching bandmusic room and stole it and kept it
all these years, and when hewent to record that song, he broke
it out. For that is coolhis high school marching band. I stole
an a contraband item and the nameof the high school. I can't have

(01:08:36):
that off the top of my head, but I thought that was a fun
That is there's another fun fact startingtoday on Hulu. Thank You good Night.
The bon Jovi Story, this docuseries telling the true story of Sayerville's
own John bon Jovi and Company,streaming on Hulu starting today. I can't
wait to check this out. Thewife and I were excited to get into

(01:08:58):
this, so a lon and beholdtoday first day you can get in on
it. Richie Sambora, who leftthe band back in twenty thirteen to focus
on family. He left the band. I guess he's a little upset over
his portrayal in this docuseries. Thatsounds familiar dynasty. Yeah, well,
yeah, exactly, it's similar strikinggun contrast to that, here's John on

(01:09:19):
that very topic. Like he saysin the film, he's not sorry quit,
He's just sorry the way he didit. But there's never an animosity.
You know, I've said it publiclyprivately. He came over and watched
three parts of the docuseries at myhouse with me. But he's not in
the band. You know, he'snot in the band. So he came
over to like have popcorn and watchthe docuseries with John, and he says.

(01:09:43):
John goes on to say Richie flewout and even brought him a birthday
present. He brought John this reallynice guitar when they sat down to watch
this thing. But then after thefact, sam Boris says he wasn't too
happy with him. I wonder ifhe said that to John bonchovie. You
know, I'm not too happy theway. It's funny because he says he's
been waiting at the door. Johnsays, I've been waiting at the door

(01:10:04):
for ten years. There's nothing butlove. There was never a fight.
Ultimately, being in a rock bandis not a life sentence. He had
to deal with his other issues.Well, Richie says he, you know,
he's open to a reunion, sowho knows what's going to happen with
that. But he also kind oflike did a backhanded compliment and says,
if John is ready to sing again, I will join, you know,

(01:10:25):
I mean that type of thing.How about the way John bon Jovie comments,
it's like he's writing a lyric.It sounds like a little poet.
I'm standing at the door poet leftstitch. They're writing love letters to each
other, Yeah, like passive aggressivelove letters. But I think they're all
setting up for a reunion. That'swhat I think I think, And maybe
this docu series will be just that. Well I hope. So some some

(01:10:48):
weekend viewing for you there. Meanwhile, your weekend listening is going to involve
