weekend, A chili one raw Alot of disdain when some people woke up

(01:55):
yesterday and by those people, Imean those that played Powerball think and they
were going to wake up on Sundayand have a really expensive brunch because they
wouldn't have to go to work Monday. I forgot all about it, Honestly,
I forgot all about it. Andthen I saw a headline. I'm
like, well, good for Oregon, because good for Oregon. Yeah,
when was the last time you heardof Oregon winning a giant jackpot? Never?

(02:16):
And it's the one state Like there'scertain places I never know how to
pronounce, like you know, youcould do it two different ways, Like
I'm still not sure if it's NevadaNevada. Yeah, but I do know
that one time I said Oregon andthe person who lived there goes, where'd
we go? It's Oregon? AndI'm like, I don't never say gone.
And that was the last time Iever met someone from Oregon. Right,

(02:36):
So, but it only takes one. It stuck with me. So,
you know, besides that one weirdperson, I think it's a good
thing for them. Yeah, sure, we'll We'll give you one Oregon.
I mean, I sometimes I forgetOregon's the state until they win power Ball.
So I mean, it's crazy thatno one had won that since New
Year's Day. So it's forty oneconsecutive drawings, the eighth largest in powerball

(02:58):
history. Yeah, and this justseems to be the norm now, these
giant jackpops. Well didn't is it? Megan? Millions already in like ninety
ninety seven? I think, howdid I get there so fast? I
know, wasn't there just a winner? I just had a billion one point
three billion dollar winter there? Ohwow? Oh? Really is that in
California? That was? Give mea moment. It was not California.

(03:19):
It was New Jersey, Jersey,because I was cussing the state of New
Jersey after the fact there, Ithought you liked it enough to appreciate that.
I was like, you know whenI said to the money gods,
the lottery gods, just be somewherein the northeast, would you, yeah,
me, New Jersey. Well,sometimes I forget New Jersey exists too,
and my brother lives there. Somy favorite part of where Bob lives

(03:40):
my brother is he lives in aplace called West New York. Oh,
New Jersey. Okay, So it'slike they're confused about themselves. They're like,
where do I want to be WestNew York, New Jersey? Where
do we tell me we are WestNew York, New Jersey. Yeah.
For me, the thing that Iwas thinking about most of the weekend was,
and I'm not even gonna be lookingis the eclipse because my husband and

(04:01):
my oldest son took off for Buffaloon Sunday. Oh yeah, that's right.
Well, I mean that's where myhusband's from, so he's got family.
So they're all gonna sit in theyard, although I hear it might
be cloudy there any burgers and andput their glasses on and watch the eclipse,
whereas it's gonna be sunny here,but there's not gonna be uh,
it's not gonna be total, soit's still gonna be sunny, it's just

(04:24):
gonna seem cloudy. Whereas during youknow, totality, it's nighttime like this.
So I feel bad that they it'sa pretty long trip. But at
least he's staying with family. Sobut that's I mean, all week and
long, it's just eclips, theclips, clips clips, So glasses,
get your glasses and we got them. One of Williams. I don't know

(04:45):
if you were here, one ofWilliams teachers gave me four pair of glasses.
Oh wow, because you heard that. I didn't have any, so,
uh yeah, we're glassed out.Do you have them? I don't.
I was thinking I might wear threepairs of sunglasses. Three pairs.
Did they say that would work?And when you put them on actually in
the daylight, yeah, it's justdarkness. Yeah, like you you it's
don't see anything, nothing, nothingzlex weather mostly sunny and sixties today,

(05:09):
great for the eclipse. Same fortomorrow, but cooler with highs in the
fifties. It's tomorrow opening day.It is over chili. It sounds so
chits like they said, it's goingto have like a brisk feel to it,
So maybe wear some more clothes thanusual to opening day forty degrees in
Boston. I'm heather Ford on aone hundred point seven double z LX since
Boston's only classic rock morning show,five point thirty nine, Kenny Young,

(05:32):

like procedure this morning, so wewish him well. We wish him well.
It is forty degrees on its wayup to sixty sixty to sixty five
Inland today and it's going to bea corker, going to be a beautiful
day. Finally, God, aftera chili weekend out there was just feeling

(05:53):
raw. I felt like November.I'd like to get into some uh some
dark matter right now, if that'sall okay. I know it's early,
it's wicked, Doc. Well,we're getting into the dark matter of Pearl
Jam. See that's the title oftheir new record that's coming out, and
it's coming out quick. So inorder to promote this, I remember when

(06:14):
Metallica did it for seventy two seasons. They're doing an exclusive listening party one
night only at select theaters across thecountry. Pretty cool. So you get
to go hear the new Pearl Jamrecord before anybody else. So of course
we've got your hook up. We'vegot your ticket to rock the theater to
see to go and listen to PearlJay. It's going to be a multimedia

(06:35):

(06:58):
the insight, all right, wehave that kind of connection with Pearl Jam,
and we're going to pass the savingsalong to you. So all week
again eight ten am, eleven tenam, three ten pm right here at
ZLX from the Planet Fitness, WCLXStudios, Horizon Spile. Now, now,
thanks for making that part of yourmorning headlines with Heather Poor idiots.
Great story thank God on one hundredpoint seven WCLX boss. I mean besides

(07:23):
April A, theeing eclipse day,of course, and that someone in Oregon
won Powderball, those being two ofthe biggest stories. One of the stories
that I just couldn't stop reading aboutor looking at or figuring out was the
woman who was intentionally hit by acar in a Hopkinson road rage incident.
She passed away. So our twentysix year old woman intentionally hit, allegedly

(07:45):
intentionally hit by a car in thisroad rage incident. Her name's Destiny.
Her Her mom said her daughter diedfrom her injuries Saturday afternoon, adding that
she experienced complications during surgery the daybefore. Oh, from what I understand,
there was sort of an incident.I don't know if it happened on
eighty five, which is like theHopkinson Milford Connection road, and so the

(08:09):
road rage incident happened. The peoplein Destiny's car stopped, got out of
the car, and the man inthe other car that was part of this
incident allegedly drove right at them andhit her, and she died days later.
If you want to know how hermom feels, her mom wrote something
this wasn't on camera. With everyounce this is before she passed, With

(08:31):
every ounce of my being, Ihope that effort burns directly in hell,
she was in surgery all night.If anyone can fight through this, it
absolutely is destiny. She didn't makeit. So you and I off air
were talking about road rage, andit seems I don't know, Like I
was tailed yesterday by some guy andthen I pulled over to let him pass

(08:54):
and he wouldn't. And I'm thinkingto myself, you're so close to me,
here's your shot. Yeah, I'mnot in a rus rush. You
go, you go, And hewouldn't. And that's not the first time
that's happened. It happened another timewhere the person stopped. I guess it's
because they're the kind of people whothink I'm about to follow them, or
they want to provoke an incident.I don't know, but it's freaky.

(09:15):
And all I'm thinking is, insteadof me not seeing your headlights, just
go go on your way. Yeah, people exactly. Hey, I do
that all the time. I'll moveover if you're coming up on me going
eighty five ninety on the highway,listen, I have no problem getting over
before you even get on my bumper. But then don't ride my ass if
there's nowhere to go, right.But then again it comes back to the
whole thing of like, you know, don't instigate, don't provoke, like

(09:39):
whoa, you know, let idiotsbe idiots. Yeah, and you tried
to do that. I try,and so if you and the other thing
I saw a great I know thiswas like a month ago someone posted and
this is going to agitate some people, but they said that lane isn't your
birthright. Just move over or letpeople in. Yeah, like it's I
know it hurts you when you seesomeone who's sneaking up to the right,
who won't who's not following what therules or whatever everybody else seems to be

(10:03):
doing. But lane's not your birthright, just like the left lane campers that
I deal with going home every day. I mean, I don't know if
it's just because I'm old now,but I've tried to take them more relaxed.
I want to be shot while drivingbecause more and more of these incidents,
and that's all it takes is somebodyto run you off the road or
cut you off the right way,and it's nerve wrecking. To one driver

(10:24):
and one almost driver. Boys inmy family right now thinking to myself,
just don't provoke anyone. Just don'tdo it and keep your head in the
swivel. By the way, Williamsaid when he was driving, I won't
say the driving school. It's anexcellent driving school, but I don't want
to bring this attention to them thathe was in a lesson and a guy
like in a white van got soagitated on a highway that the guy drove

(10:48):
on the grass to go around around. Yeah, like a weird and it
was clearly marked that it was.And Williams like, I was going the
speed limit. There were cars allaround us, and the guy pointed in
and the instructor just looked over andhe goes, what's happening? Where do
you want me to go? What? What is going on here? Zlex

(11:09):
Weather. I mean, I'm laughing, but it's not funny. Mostly sunny
in sixties today, same for tomorrow, but cooler highs in the fifties for
opening day, forty degrees in Boston. I'm Heather Ford on one hundred point
seven double UZLX. Light them Up. It's Boston's only classic road morning show.
One hundred point seven w ZX.I don't think you're gonna need a
fire today to keep warm. There'llbe plenty of that from the sunshine until

(11:33):
it gets blacked out from the moon. But you get the idea. Six
point fifteen here WZLX. Its skinnyyoung heather Ford, Pete McKenzie with the
scheduled day off. A little medicalprocedure going on today. So yeah,
getting a kolonoscopy something we men shouldall do. Actually women should too.
It's pretty easy if you've never doneit before. Worst part is the prep,
but even that's gotten easier now.Oh, really, prep, you'd

(11:56):
drinking lots of weird goog. Yeah. I used to have to drink the
gallon of sea water and then toflush yourself up. And now I understand.
I don't know if Pete got theuh, the opportunity, but now
I guess they've got tablets you cantake instead of drinking the gallon of seawaam.
That's wonderful. Yeah, And that'sreally the prep is really the worst
of it. And the not eating, you know, because you always look

(12:18):
forward to like, what's the bigmeal you're going to have? How many
days in advance do you have tostop eating? I think like three or
four. There's like a series whereyou you you wind down, you go
to just clear, you end upwith just clears, you know, where
you can have like broth and waterand like non colored jello. What does
that even mean? Just like alemon jello or you know, something with

(12:39):
no dyes in it, no redor green dyes, stuff like that.
So but anyway, yeah, sohe yeah, petes out today, but
we are leading the charge here andit's an action packed week. There's so
much going on. Today's eclips Day, tomorrow's opening day Fenway, which we'll
get into a little bit later,but also kicking off this week Miami Grand

w ZLX, Boston's only classic rockmorning show. Hey you gotta do what

(15:22):
you gotta do, right, LindseyBuckingham, Steve you nigs six twenty eight
forty one degrees. There are plentyof sunshine, so much so right now
that I can't even look south towardsthe city because the sun is hitting this
one building just right in it.I don't know why I keep looking there.
I keep looking there. I'm gonnaburn my red. Where are those
eclipse glasses? We don't any year. You don't have any heart me,

(15:43):
you know. I was gonna pickup a welding mask too. I don't
even have a welder, but Ifigured at the mask i'd be safe.
I just pull it down this afternoon, but I might need it right now
with the blinds. Keep looking,I don't. It's like a magnet.
Your screens are on the other sideof you. You can't stay away from
it. It's the sun. I'mfascinated by it as we're all going to

(16:03):
be outside this afternoon, staring upat the sky. Right, I'd like
to talk about a horse of adifferent color. I actually like to talk
about another animal of a different color. Boston's got a big rat problem,
but it's not causing problems that you'dnormally think where they get into all the
trash and spreading disease and mayhem andchaos. Well, the chaos is coming

(16:25):
in the form of the South End, the Back Bay. I know the
North End has had problems for yearswith this too, but it's rats eating
the wiring in your car. Thatdoesn't even make sense. I've heard of
cats having kittens in your car,you know, nesting there if you need
a car too long, squirrels evenfor cars that have sat too long,
Snakes, yep, all kinds ofso the tubing I get. I had

(16:48):
to look into this because I'm like, Yeah, what the hell are they
doing eating car wires underneath your hood? Well, I guess a lot of
the tubing around the wires has soyin it, so it's real. It's
an edible coating around most of thesewires. That's an easy fix that the
rats are eight. Maybe don't putsoy in the engine. You can spray,
right, there's got to be somethingyou can spray on your engine.

(17:08):
Why, how'd it be something fakethey could use instead. Yeah, so
a lot of cars have this typeof soy stuff. But it's gotten so
bad. And wait till you hearhow many incidentss of these little these little
critters have been at the end ofthis, how many calls they've gotten in
the last twelve months alone about this. But here's a couple of South End
residents dealing with the issue. Ican't believe we're about to have this conversation

(17:30):
again. But they didn't touch myhusband's car. They just went after mine.
The rats are using the car morethan I did. Once they get
into an area to have a pheromonesmell, to leave for other rats to
come back. Some of these ratsare the size of cats. They look
like they're like eight nine pounds.Some of them are even bigger than my
dog. I have a ten poundminiature docs and he is even scared of

(17:52):
the rats. They weren't able toopen up the hood of my car,
and they said it's because rats probablyate the wiring. Boston Catalog nearly four
thousand wrote it related complaints last yearalone, and the city will be holding
a hearing Tuesday to talk about creatingan Office of Pest Control. Yeah,
they're trying to row. I mean, you hear about this in New York,
Chicago, Downtown LA. Maybe,but yeah for now. I mean,

(18:18):
besides the fact that you know,like I said, they eat trash
and spread disease. No, Ican't. I cannot stop thinking about the
the size of cats. I mean, it's hard enough having a car in
the city as it is right costof parking, trying to find parking.
I experienced that yesterday, which I'llget into a little later. But yeah,
the fact that now you got todeal with the cars getting your wires
eating. I remember a story.My wife's boss rented this place down in

(18:41):
Bonita Beach in Florida. He doesevery winter at different house, and one
in particular, he had his Mercedesparked in the driveway of his beach house
rental down there, and sure enough, they were doing construction at a house
nearby, and these like dune ratsor sand rats or whatever they were,
they zeroed in on his Mercedes.And when I tell you, they shredded

(19:03):
every piece of wire they could findinside that car. Doesn't even make sense.
You had to have like Mercedes comeand like tow it to the nearest
dealership, and it was covered amiss. You think that's covered by insurance.
Some of them have damage five hundreddollars deductible on, like damages from
cause by animals or rats specifically,I guess, I guess. But some
of these mass neighbors you just heardfrom I had to pay like two grand

(19:26):
out of pocket to fix the damagesin their cars. So yeah, just
give yourself a look. If you'reliving in the city. You know,
give them look under your undercarriage,you know, pop the hood, take
a look once in a while.But like I said, isn't there There's
gotta be a spray or something thatyou can use. There's gotta be something
besides soil, a deterrent, right, or yes, something else entirely too.

(19:48):
But I guess this is these soytubings are pretty common. But when
you know, a councilman, EdFlynn said, the city is trying to
do what they can do about this. It's a common occurrence throughout Boston's neighborhood,
rats and mice getting into cause.The people that are working on this
issue are doing the best they canwith limited resources. Yeah, so hopefully
tomorrow's meeting will yield something some wayto help residents out. Yeah, call

(20:15):
the rat problem, I guess right. Boston's only classic rock morning show,
Little Patty Smith popping up this morningfor you. About that six forty six
on this Monday. God, justout there plenty of sunshine, clear viewing
all around here, at least inMassachusetts, but not in Buffalo, where
my husband is the area of totality. Why'd you just tell me they're going
to have showers. It's going toactually be raining right at that moment,

(20:38):
and I'm looking at the radar.Cleveland will be clear by that point.
It looks like the rain will beout from there, but Western New York
looks like a mess. He mighthave been better going or trying to get
to Burlington. Yeah, Vermond,I was gonna say, but he's with
family there, so he doesn't haveto worry about hotels or where to stand
or what to do exactly what it'llbe raining. Yeah, Well it's a
fun adventure. Yes, he andone of your boys there. So Yeah.

(21:02):
We were talking to friends yesterday too, and they were telling us a
lot of the ski mountains up northare providing like an opportunity for you to
just take a chairlift to the top. You don't have to ski, but
take a chairlift to the top andjust watch your clips from up there on
the top of a mountain. Howcool would that be? It's absolutely perfect,
that'd be awesome. Listen, wegot a lot popping here at the
Rock and Roll radio station this week, all kinds of contesting. You'll hear

(21:25):
about the F one Miami flyaway tripcoming up. Yes, the Grand Prix
dewn in Miami. You could bethere for it. You'll hear about that
in just a moment. But Iwant to tell you about a horse of
a different color. I think I'veused that twice today. Let me cross
that off the list. Listen ClassicRock Clash. We're giving you an opportunity
this week to get into some classicrock history with the Who. Yes,

(21:47):
they've recently remastered it live at ChaseStadium and a historic show from nineteen eighty
two, I believe, with KennyJones on drums. So listen. They've
remastered it, CD, DVD.You're gonna get all the multimedia you can
handle. Plus when one grand prizewinner at the end of the week,
we'll score a copy on vinyl.So very cool hoop package for your home
classic rock listening library. All right, so lit'sten up at eight p forty

(22:11):
here this morning, I was backdown wood shedding in the basement, putting
together some riffage. So we'll doa little uh you know. Audio daily
doubles today for the Clash at Afour from a Planet Fitness WCLX Studios,
Horizon. Now. Now, thanksfor making us part of your morninglines.
Heather, people are idiots. Greatstory on one point seven WCLX Boston.

(22:34):
Side note from the headline. Sometimesi feel like I'm a really bad mom
because I've never seen first day ofschool. I've never seen, you know,
like, unless I'm on vacation,the morning, the setup, what
they do all the time. I'mnot a mom that has first day school
pictures unless another mom felt bad forme and sent them to me. And
so when my husband and my oldestare visiting family today, my other one,

(22:56):
it was just like I left thismorning at four, I'm like,
hey, Bobby, I'm going now, And I just had to trust the
fact that a fifteen year old wasgoing to get himself together. You're right,
I'm like, call me before youget in the shower, com me
after you get out. You've watchedall morning, Come me after, tell
me when you let the dogs out, tell me when you're leaving. But
it seems locked the door. He'son the bus. Yeah, don't Yeah,

(23:18):
that's definitely ingrained in their systems.But so I'm happy to say that
for all my bad parenting, atleast I'm gonna have some exceptionally independent children
like I have to. You knowwhat, it is a benefit because I
remember again youngest of five. Iremember being left to our own devices to
get your ass to school on yourown many times, and I'm thankful for
it. And I know that likethey entrusted us that you're going to get

(23:41):
yourself to school, we're going towork, do your thing, make sure
you get there exactly. So itworked. Please please have pity on me.
So there are lots of things wenton right. Someone in Oregon won
the power ball. Good for them, congratulations. Oregon usually gets nothing.
I've never I mean maybe they haveone big jackpots before and I've just forgot
and I don't know if you,I don't know what they have. Yeah,

(24:02):
good, nothing of that size,obviously, Good for you, Oregon.
The eclipses today, it's going tobe super clear here, but we're
not in the totality, so it'lljust seem like it's really stormy for a
while and then it'll go back tonormal. My husband is in Buffalo and
he's there for the totality and it'sgoing to rain. So so sad.

(24:26):
Then there are these two stories andthe headlines that make me super sad.
One of them was and I hadto like reread the headline. There was
a person stabbed on Newberry Street?What what of all the places? Yeah,
it just first of all back Bay, you don't expect that, and
especially on Newberry Street, shopping mecca. Yeah, Newbury and Gloucester, so
I know we were at the prooffor a really long time. What wrote

(24:48):
were we on Dartmouth if we wentstraight back towards Newbury? No, dartmouths
was further down. Gloucester was actuallycloser, closer to the prew all right,
So anyway, that's where it happened. It was an active scene,
lots of police evidence markers everywhere,and apparently a stabbing and then you and
I ran through off air probably threeor four different road rage incidents that have

(25:08):
happened where people have either been hitor there's been violence involved. What was
it, Beverly? We had Hopkinsonintentionally hit a pedestrian with his car who
later died. And that's what's allegedhere in this hopkinent. This is the
headline woman intentionally hit by car andHopkinson road rage incident. She has passed
away, she has died, twentysix year old woman. So they're basically

(25:32):
what they're saying is that this happenedon eighty five and between Milford and Hopkinson,
and that there was a road rageincident and the occupants of one car,
four of them, got out ofthe car and allegedly the occupant of
the other car did a U turnand sped towards them and hit one of
them. Her name was Destiny.This guy was in a Honda Civic.

(25:52):
The guy that's being charged is athirty six year old. His name's Ryan
Sweat from Milford. I just hermom. She wasn't on camera. This
was her written response. This isbefore her daughter passed away. With every
ounce of my being, I hopethat burns directly in hell. She was
in surgery all night. If anyonecan fight through this, it absolutely is

(26:15):
Destiny. Oh yeah. It's justheartbreaking. And it has to get to
that. You know, these roadrage things are becoming like almost a daily
occurrence. It's crazy, but weall, even the most passive of us,
for the most part, have beenin a car and thought, I'm
angry about whatever's going on around us. Sure, and some people, and

(26:37):
you know, when you get tothe point where you're like, it builds
up and you're like, this isn'tme. Why am I so agitated by
something? Someone else is doing ina car and I can't see them,
and I think it's because we don'tsee them. I think it's just their
machines. Right. You never knowwhat's going on with someone. That's the
worst thing about it. You neverknow what's going to set somebody off,
right, even people that wouldn't normallydo that. And you also don't know

(26:57):
who's carrying a gun in their car. We've had road rage incidents two times
this year where people have been shotat while driving. Once they were killed.
Oh yeah, in Foxboro ninety fiveis the lex weather, So calm
down, I guess is that where? Yeah, mostly sunny and sixties today.
It's beautiful. Same for tomorrow,but cooler highs in the fifties,

(27:18):
maybe a little wind for opening day, so maybe dress warm forty degrees in
Boston. I'm heather Ford on onehundred point seven double z LX even twenty
two to two thirds of the operationwith you this morning. It's Kenny Young,
heather Ford, Pete McKenzie with thescheduled day off. He's just so
damn excited about this eclipse. Hehad to take the no he's getting he's
getting this call clip He's at that. That's right, but it's going to

(27:41):
be a certain camera pointed in acertain direction in his body that you probably
don't want to see. That wasthe weirdest thing. But when I've done
those colon osk basis, they sendme home with like digital color images of
what they saw or didn't see,which is what you want. You know,
you don't want them to see anything. But I was like, well,
what am I supposed to do withthis? Well, for your files

(28:02):
only case you switch doctors, theycan look at it. Well, they
can digitally send that stuff. Idon't need to see the inside of my
body. There's a reason it's inthere, not out here. I don't
need to look at it. Let'stalk about some other dark matter right now,
And that pertains to the title ofPearl Jam's new record. Everyone's excited
about this. The album will bedropping later on this month. How'd you
like to hear Dark Matter in thedark for one night only. Pearl Jam's

(28:26):
doing these listening events at theaters movietheaters, and it's going to be like
a light and sound show like noother, and you get to hear the
new album in its entirety before therest of the fandom all right. I
don't know what they call Pearl Jamfans, if there's like a specific nickname
for them or what. But everyonethat Wendsday's tickets starting at eight ten this
morning will do it again at eleventen and three ten in the afternoon for

(28:48):
Showcase, Legacy Place and Debtum.We're going to hook you up with a
copy of it on vinyl, soagain you'll own it before it even goes
on sale, and you get tohear it before everybody else. So another's
ZL exclusive. See what I didthere, Dark Matter in the doc Wicked
Doc, and this, you know, coincides nicely with the eclipse today to
them, just saying the way thetiming of this whole thing came about one

(29:11):
last note on the Dark Side,And there's people out there that have figured
out Pink Floyd's Dark Side of theMoon will sync up with the solar eclipse
today. But here's where it getstricky. So in order for you to
hear Dark Side's closing line and everythingunder the sun is in tune, but
the Sun is eclipsed by the moon, you're gonna have to start at the

(29:33):
album forty one minutes and fifty threeseconds before the eclipse begins this afternoon,
So for us around Boston, it'swhat two sixteen. I have no idea.
Yeah, I think that's what Isaw here on time. Yeah,
I know. That's the funny thingabout it's right in the million afternoon,
so I guess around Boston two sixteen. So you have to start your Pink
Floyd Dark Side of the Moon albumforty one minutes and fifty three seconds before

(29:56):
that. They do warn you though, depending upon which format you're listening in,
if it's digital, CD, vinylcassette, whatever, it might be
slightly off, you know, justdue to running times, So just check
ahead if you want to enhance youreclipse experience. And at the end of
the day they said, you wantto simplify this whole operation and still be
involved with Pink Floyd and the eclipse, they say, you can simply start

(30:18):
the album's closing song, Eclipse,seventy seconds before the peak. That would
be more reasonable, right, Andit's easy to remember that because the peak's
supposed to be around three thirty,So you just started seventy seconds before that,
you can still get that line.So just another goofy thing with this
eclipse that's going on here? Didyou get your glasses? Yeh, Boston's
only classic rock morning show, oneundred points dot w ZX seven forty two,

(30:41):
just about forty two out there,and it's way up to the low
sixties today for most of Boston,Greater Boston and the urbs. Yeah,
some of the western burbs might seesixty five today. Dare I say it?
Can we just get like a week'sworth of this stuff eventually? Mean,
the grass is trying in my backyard. God help it. It's and
fertilizer help it. But it's reallystarting to green up now, but it's

(31:03):
very patchy. It's fuzzy and patchy. You know. I got to get
out there and give the yard agood blow, okay, is what I
got to do with my new powerequipment. I do. But I've been
waiting to do the spring cleanup becauseit's been so damn cold. I'm like,
I don't want to be wearing winterclothes out there. It's been raining
blowing there and it's been raining,wet and muddy, and well, you
get the idea. Listen, let'sget into this right now at seven forty

(31:26):
three. So what's going on withBoston's only Classic Rock Morning Show one seven
WCLX. Well, I gotta tellyou I had quite the sports filled weekend
watching, not participating so much.Yeah, and it all started Friday.
One of two sports that I've neversat and watched an entire game from beginning

(31:48):
to end of and along with fourteenpoint two million other people, which set
a record for viewership, is thesemi Yes, the final four SEBA Women's
semi Finals. On Friday, youhad Iowa taken on Yukon and what was
like a heavyweight battle. It justkept going back and forth and Yukon wasn't

(32:10):
going away. And I think alot thought that number one seeded women's Iowa
the Hawkeyes were just gonna roll them. But Yukon don't play like that,
and damn did they give him again. I've never sat and watched a women's
basketball game from beginning it. Iwas enthralled in this. I was involved
in this, and we had alittle emotional connection because, as you know,
my wife and her family are allfrom Iowa. So I've been hearing

(32:34):
the hype ball week. You know, my sister in law, my sister
and my wife they talk every dayand they're saying, you guys, got
to watch the game Friday. Iwas like, all right, Julie,
I watched the game on Friday,I will sit down and watch this game.
And I'm glad we did. Itwas a great game, and Iowa
of course advanced to the final,which was yesterday against South Carolina. Who
going into that? So those twonumber ones undefeated. Man, to tell

(33:00):
you, South Carolina, the gameCocks they had bench players putting up nineteen
points yesterday. Is that they've onlylost one game in two years and it
was to Iowa last Yeah, inthe in the semis last year. So
this was a revenge tour for theSouth Carolina game Cocks. And yeah,
eighty seven to seventy five was thefinal. Yeah, the game Cocks just

(33:22):
ran away with it yesterdaycause I watchedyesterday's too, and they capped off the
perfect thirty eight and o season.So good on you ladies, great job,
great game. And then Saturday rolledaround, let's get back to the
weekend. Saturday rolls around. Thewife's got a little girl's night up,
a new report, so I'm leftto my own devices, and three o'clock

(33:45):
had that awesome Bruins game, theovertime win against Florida, which again might
be a potential upcoming playoff preview.So it was awesome to see them pull
one out in overtime because we've beengetting smoked in overtime all year. So
that was that parlayed into the RedSox, which I'm going to talk about
a little later in the show,because they had an awesome weekend too before
they come home to open up theseason at Fenway tomorrow. So just so

(34:07):
much sporting action going on. Butbut let me tell you this about that.
Yesterday I witnessed another sport that I'dnever watched from beginning the end,
and that was rugby. That's agood one. So our godson he goes
to Wentworth and he texts us onFriday and he says, I don't know
what you guys are doing. He'sapologetic right away. I don't know what

(34:28):
you're doing. I don't know ifyou're busy. It's in the middle of
the Sunday afternoon. But we're playingNortheastern Downtown. If you want to come,
gave us the address of the park. You know the field he was
playing on, which is right nextto right at Northeastern. So he said,
yeah, of course, we'll goand now I know hell's all about
rugby. Yeah, see a littleTV starting to pick it up. I
still have I think I have morequestions now, And so I was like

(34:51):
drilling him after the game about likeplay cricket rules and scoring. You want
to know how it all works out. You have a basic idea, but
you still don't know. Yeah,for instance, I didn't know. I
thought you could only run so faror so long with the ball before you
had to pass it off, becauseI always see them latering it because you
can't forward pass, you can onlylateral it. So I kept seeing,

(35:12):
like, we now, how dothey know when they can stop running?
And so then his dad, ourbuddy, was there too, and he
says, oh, no, theycan run as long as they want.
And sure enough there's a couple ofsprints down the sidelines. Well, I
gotta tell you, I got intothis rugby thing pretty quick. And these
guys are out there hammering each other, and of course no pads, you
know, they just have mouthguards.Most women can get behind watching men's rugby

(35:34):
two because they have tree trunks forlegs. They do. Muscular guys run
around at least seventy five percent ofthem had those tree trunk legs, and
I'm like, these guys are enormous, yep, these college students, And
I got to tell you, itwas so fun to watch, and Wentworth
went on to defeat them twenty tonothing. So each try, when you
score on a try and you putthe field of the ball down on the

(35:55):
opponent's line, you get five pointsfor it. So they had four that
were successful. But then I keptwaiting, like there's a thing when the
ball and the clock never stops,which is awesome. So it was like
it was run two forty minute periodswith a five minute break in between.
Quick, but it was fast pacedand there's people getting injured, and well,

(36:15):
hell, the game's still going on. There's no timeouts. They're not
stopping play only when there's like afoul or like the ball goes out of
bounds. And that was the funnything. We're all lined up along this
fence. There was no bleachers anda few times the ball went over the
fence, like little help we hadto like you know, rugby the ball
back to them. Yeah, butlike the one thing that stood out to

(36:38):
me was when the ball does goout of bounds like that, and certain
scenarios they have to inbound it andeach team lines up and you know,
they each boost up a player totry to catch it to reinbound the ball.
But they kept just throwing it directlyto their own team. So I
couldn't figure out, like, whyisn't that illegal? Why would you even
throw it in between both players?It was so weird, But I don't

(36:58):
know. So again, I've gotmore rugby questions now, but I think
I want to go see more.Oh you should. Yeah, I think
it was a pretty successful uh Sundayat nice little Sunday afternoon right there,
capping off with another Red Sox victorytwelve to two man and which I said
we'll get into a little bit later. Hey, coming up just after eight
o'clock at eight ten, when yourcopy of Pearl jams Dark Matter in the

(37:20):
Dark on Vinyl before anybody else,and when you're way into their listening party
at ELF from a Planet Fitness WCLXStudios, Horizon. Now, Now,
thanks for making that part of yourmorningdlines with Heather. Great story. Thank
you on one point seven WCLX Boston. Well topic A here Heather talkbacks are
lighting up on Eclipse Day let's goto zlx's most impressive listener, Joe Anne

(37:45):
Shall we morning friends. You mighthave already talked about this, but you
know, I've just got in mycar. Did you feel the earthquake on
Friday? Probably not if you weredriving home, but also with the earthquake
and the hail and the eclipse,is the world ending? Well, I'll
tell you what. I was drivinghome, I did not feel it.
But when I got to my house. The biggest Dane, the youngest one,

(38:07):
Bushy, who's you know, seventeight months old. He's in a
kennel. I opened the kennel andthey usually all run outside and you know,
do their thing. He ran outof the kennel and then ran upstairs
and tried to like tunnel his wayunder my bed. And I'm like,
what are you doing? And I'mlike, come on, let's go,
let's go out. He would notgo anywhere near the door, and he

(38:29):
wanted to stay as close to theground as possible. And I was like,
what is happening? They know?And right, well, the last
time there was an earthquake, whatin twenty eleven or whatever, I don't
know, the one that was inDC centered there my kids. We were
all walking around in hall. Theyboth sat down right on the spot in
the middle of it, and Iwas like, what do you do?
They weren't temper tantrum type kids.They just sat down, waited for the

(38:51):
earthquake to pass, and then theystood back up again. That's crazy children,
know. So I remind around thetime frame Friday, because I forget
ten o'clock in the tclock hour.When we were driving, I was still
area. You might not have feltit this far. I thought maybe it
was the construction. If anything,I would have thought it was the construction
outside and there's bumping and other thingsgoing out. But like, my brother

(39:13):
lives in Jersey. My parents livein the Tri County area there at the
Pennsylvania Jersey, New York area,and my mother said that she heard all
of a sudden, all the pipesin the house started rattling. My dad
thought the roof had been blown off. He goes, it felt like a
strong wind. Oh, so hewent outside to make sure the roof was
still on their house. My brotherthought his building had a bomb in it,

(39:35):
and he like not jumped out ofa window, but ran out of
his building. He lives in WestNew York, New Jersey. He ran
out of his building to go findout what blew up, what happened,
and it was an earthquake. Soyeah, I didn't I didn't feel it.
You know how I found out aboutthe earthquake Friday was our relatives in
the Midwest that sent us a textand said, are you guys okay?

(39:55):
Is everything okay or fine? Isyour house still standing? And we replied
b back to her, like whatare you talking about? Yeah, there
was an earthquake out there, andthen I go google it. Yeah,
I had no idea. I haveno idea it even happened. My parents,
My dad said he spent a littlebit of time looking making sure there
weren't any cracks in his foundry.They mean it rattled, Oh, I'm
sure rattled the epicenter. Yeah.And the other thing going on today that

(40:17):
Joanne was, there's you know,there's an eclipse, uh, a total
eclipse, and my husband's in Buffalotrying to witness it. And then what
it's raining there. So after thatlong drive, it's just going to go
from like a rainy day to arainy night back to a rainy day.
Yeah. So so sad is hegoing to head east or what. I

(40:37):
don't know. I was I'm wonderingif he's going to try to get to
the Adirondacks or try to go toBurlington. But I feel like it's just
going to be a mess because Ihate to tell you, but I mean,
as you know, most of NewEngland is supposed to be bluebird like
this. Oh yeah, I know. The Vermont New Hampshire mainline is probably
going to be wonderful. Yeah,my buddy days up in Vermont right now.
He just posted he's he's got ahouse near Stow and they're just yeah,

(41:00):
they're psyched. They're making a dayout of it, I can imagine,
and it's going to be lovely.Yeah. Well, one thing's for
sure about this eclipse. Man,It's just it's starting to cause some mass
hysteria I think among some people.Some people are really freaking out about it.
Disaster of biblical proportion. What doyou mean biblical? What he means
as Old Testament, the real wrathof God type stuff. The fire and

(41:22):
brimstone coming down from the skies,rivers and seas boiling, forty years of
darkness, earthquakes, volcanoes, abid rising from the Green human sacrifice,
dogs and cats living together, massistaria, mass hysteria. It's take a good
time. I'm looking forward to it. My son did tell me that people
think the end of the world iscoming in that if you hear just trumpets
playing today outside, that that's asign that the rapture's coming. He has

(41:45):
a trumpet. He doesn't your kidplay drums. He plays all the instruments
right, So, thinking, Iwas like, I don't know if our
neighborhood's the place where people will thinkthat the rapture's coming, or if you're
just annoying them, So maybe don'tdo that today. Zlex weather mostly sunny,
in sixties today, same for tomorrow, but cooler. Hi's in the
fifties for opening day, forty degreesin Boston. I'm heather Ford on a

(42:07):
one hundred point seven double u ZLXone hundred point seven u ZX. Heays,

ninety three one one, double ohseven and ZX one hundred point seven WZLX,

(42:52):
Boston's only classic rock morning show.I can handle the vocal range.
Right at the end of that song, I sing a long the sun Garden,
but all the high stuff forget aboutit. See that's why I stick
the guitar. More on that alittle bit later in the program, it's
Kenny Young two thirds of the show. Here, it's myself, Heather Ford.
Pete's out getting little procedure done today, so yeah, we wish him

(43:15):
well. He'll be back tomorrow.Ripe and ready to go. Listen as
the clock ticks closer towards a weddingseason, you know, spring wedding season
and whatnot. Here and just aword of warning, I thought this was
a crazy story coming out of awell, very wealthy family in the South.
You hear about bridezillas all the time. What about a mother of the

(43:36):
bridezilla. I'm sure that's just ascommon. The bridezilla doesn't come from nowhere.
Oh my god, I know theythey got to learn it from somewhere.
So sixe three one one double ohsaid, and let me know what
you think about this. Maybe it'san ask the audience thing. I just
thought this was crazy real quick.So it's very well to do Southern mother
of the bride from very wealthy family. Uh you know, not only he

(44:00):
sets up this huge, like youknow, six figure wedding for the daughter
and the husband to be, butthen typically it's the group six figure wedding.
I'd have to when you hear whatthis rehearsal dinner is going to go
for it, you got to thinkthe wedding has to be well into six
figures. Wow, well into sixfigures. So check this out. So
usually, you know, the groomsparents are the ones that arrange and pay

(44:22):
for the rehearsal dinner the night before. It's pretty common in typical traditional weddings.
That's usually what happens, and it'sjust kind of understood right, Well,
this mother of the bride decides,uh, she's going to pick the
venue of the rehearsal dinner. She'sgoing to pick them then to pay for
it the menu. No, she'snot paying for it. She's expecting the

(44:43):
groom's parents to pay for this.But it's at this very exclusive like country
club type of place where it's almosttwo hundred dollars ahead before all the fees
get tacked onto it. So forthe wedding part rehearsal dinner, a well,
you get everyone in the wedding party, close family, you know,

(45:04):
immediate family. Anybody who travels tothe wedding does that or is just the
wedding party immediate family. Right,So when they did the math on this,
they figured out what this mother ofthe Bridezilla wanted was was going to
cost the parents of the groom aboutthirty seven thousand dollars for one meal.
For one meal for rehearsal dinner.Oh thank you. And she says she

(45:27):
wasn't willing to compromise on the venue. And I mean they were going to
have it upwards of like one hundredpeople. I guess, so not a
traditional no, but its pretty bigrehearsal dinner. But I just found this
to be outrageous, you know whatI mean? Did they say no,
that's all I want to know.Did they say, no, I'm not
doing this, well that they putit to Reddit. So the groom's brother
went on Reddit. Oh, ithasn't happened yet. It hasn't happened yet.

(45:50):
No, so do it. They'retrying to figure out what they should
do about this. I mean,can't you just order some pizzas, maybe
go rent out the back room atthe Eagles Hall something like that. I
don't know. I think we allwent to a buffet or something. I
mean we were talking off the air. We I mean, our whole wedding
was under five grand. If Irecall, honey, if you're listening,
I forget how much your dress costs. I know that it was under and

(46:14):
I know our rehearsal dinner was atmy sister in law's. We had a
cookout and everyone had a good time. Yeah, and it did certainly cost
twenty three years in June. Sohere you go, there you go.
But I want to know what youthink about this. As the groom's parents,
what do you think they should doabout this? Because now there's a
lot of hurt feelings at Yelling,and the mother of the bride is not

(46:35):
willing to compromise. She says,this is where it has to happen,
and this is how much it's goingto cost. Don't get I mean,
if I'm the groom's parents, Ithink I'm I'm going to call her up
and say, hey, you wantto have it here, Well, then
you're going to pay for it,because obviously they live in a different tax
bracket and world than everybody else.But I just thought that was insane.
Right, Wedding nightmares. Just bewary of them, because they're coming.

(46:59):
As we get into weddings season heretwenty twenty four, we're going to be
getting into classic rock season. That'sright, coming up at eight forty.
I've been at it again. I'vecome up with some more classic rock guitar

you as for the rest of you. One hundred points w z LAX,
Boston's only classic rock morning show.One of those rare trifectas in the classic
rock world where the band, thesong, and the album all share the
same name. I mean, afterbad Call, I can think of,
like, uh, well, blackSabbath, you know, with the song
Black Sabbath from the almelex E IronMaiden. I think the song Iron Maiden

(51:51):
was on the album Iron Maiden.I mean, that's all I can think
of about the top of my head. There's got to be other ones.
I can't think of anything off thetop of my head. They kept it
really eight forty eight now forty fourdegrees out there, and I know it's
going to be gorgeous in like lowsixties today, plenty of sunshine. But
maybe you want to get away fromit all where it's a little warmer,
like all the time. Maybe likemy Jammy we're talking Miami Grand Prix F

(52:17):
one style. It's the coolest thing. Like my dad talks about the F
one race when it comes through Tampaand they shut down like downtown Tampa and
they just cruise around. I meanthey cruise around through the city or is
it Saint Petersburg either way, andlike the car is just how loud it
is echoing off the buildings. Andthey build a F one course in a

at it. Boston's only classic rockmorning show one hundred point seven WZLX nine
twenty three, well two thirds ofthe operation anyway. Pete's getting his colonoscopy

(54:02):
check up today. Is an experience, is what it is. It's a
good time. It is a goodtime. He'll have to watch videotape,
I'm sure on the yeah, videotapeon the big eclipse today. So and
he probably gets to see a videoversion of his colonoscopy. Plus he gets
some good drugs. That's an eclipse. I don't want to see. It's
the inside of Pete. I don'thell Like I said, I didn't want

(54:25):
to see the INSOI side of myselffor that matter. Listen, ladies and
gentlemen, I'd like to take amoment, As I said just before,
I believe it was March twenty eighth, when the Boston Red Sox ficially officially
kicked off the twenty twenty four campaign. I would just like to say,
sitting here on Monday, April theeighth, after the first ten games of

(54:46):
the season, our Boston Red Soxare coming home with a seven and three
record? Are you kidding me?I mean, that's is this the best
it's going to be? I rememberbefore this whole shebang started out, and
see there was curmudgeons. I couldoverhear them at the dunks in line at
the grocery store right from you,right here. People say, yeah,

(55:07):
they're gonna come home zero to tenor one to nine, at best seven
and three, and they're doing itin convincing fashion. Why take yesterday's twelve
to two drubbing of the Angels inanaheimy uh Okay, they're five and four,
They've won five games on the season, and they barely squeaked that win
against us on Saturday against the Socksbecause the Socks won the weekend series,

(55:32):
and they won the series before thatagainst the lowly Oakland A's. But I
gotta tell you this is an impressivedamn team. You better start paying attention
to guys like Jared Duran. TylerO'Neill, who he picked up from the
Cardinals, had another jack yesterday.Another what five home runs yesterday? Sedania
Rafaela, who plays center field,he plays some second base. Yesterday he

(55:53):
pinched hit off the bench two forthree. But I'm gonna throw another name
out there, and his name happensto be Reese McGuire. I know I
did the same thing. Who thehell's Reece McGuire. He's this guy,
Oh fly ball right field, drivingback money out all the way back at
the water that was gone, threerun Humber. But Reece McGuire torched him.

(56:15):
The Socks with four home runs todayand they blow this one open on
a bob Oh. Yeah. I'mtelling you they're hitting home runs. They're
getting quality starting pitching from just abouteverybody. It's unbelievable. So Tanner Hawk
got the start yesterday. He madehistory for the Red Sox. I swear

(56:36):
it's weird what's happening right now withthe Red Sox. He became Tanner Hawk
yesterday with his six strong scoreless performance, became the first pitcher in Socks history
to throw six scoreless innings and recordat least six strikeouts in each of his
two starts to begin the season.Good for him. I mean, I
know it's a it's a deep statthere, but he finished the game with

(56:58):
ten strikeouts. If baseball anything,it's all about deep stats. It is
deep stats. And I try notto geek out too much about it,
but I just think there's, youknow, some cause for consideration here for
your Boston Red Sox. I thinkthey're better than you think. All right,
and lo and behold, I justgot it. I just got a
text. You couldn't time this outany better. My brother in law,

(57:20):
he says, Hey, I hearyou talking about the Socks. I have
an extra ticket to the game onSunday. If you're in, I'll go
for that. Oh my, butit's Master's Sunday, George. I'm gonna
have to wait. I'm gonna haveto get back John. On the weather.
You're gonna to look at the weatherperson. If you want to sit
in your house and watch No,I think it's gonna be beautiful, but
it is masters Sunday. We'll haveto get back to that. But hey,
Boston Red Sox, I bring themup to because tomorrow, of course,

(57:42):
finally after ten games, we're cominghome. That's right, we got
the home opener tomorrow. They'll hostBaltimore two ten first pitch. You can
join myself WZLX. We're gonna bewalking around Landsdown Street wireless out and about.
I'll be checking in pregame with somelive reports and I I have something
to give away. Give me asecond here, let me see what we

(58:04):
got. Yeah, well I'll haveto do the show here, so I'll
probably be down there sometime after elevenam tomorrow walking up and down. I'll
be the guy with the big Jaysausage guy Dave Littlefield. I'll be hanging
around his cart most likely. Socome see us. But yeah, we
usually have tickets or something to giveaway on site. We do a little
like you know, street trivia typeof thing, So just come look for

(58:28):
me. I'll be the enormous guywith the big with the headsets on.
That's right, that's right. Soyeah, if you're heading down a friendly
Fenway drop by lands Down, lookfor us I'll have my w z X
gearon emblazoned across my body. Sowe're psyched, and the weather's supposed to
cooperate too. I guess a littlebit of a chilly start, about fifty
ish, partly sunny, and thenhopefully it warms up in the afternoon,

(58:52):
hopefully the stocks stay hot. Solet's go for the twenty twenty four campaign.
By the way, they're in secondplace Boston's only glassic rock morning show,
what other points, and they'll uz LX. That might be a
little jolt you need to get movinghere this morning. Nine fifty on the
nose now just about fifty degrees onits way up to the low sixties.
Got a gorgeous one. Gorgeous forsky viewing, at least here here here

(59:14):
in New England anyway. Any updatesfrom the husband out in Buffalo. From
what I can tell, they're stillthere. They're sticking it out, huh,
taking it out where it's going tobe raining man, Yeah, good
time, right, Yeah, SoI guess our ninety two point six percent
of totality, we'll just have tosuffice for yours truly. This afternoon,
I'll be napping, you'll be napping, You're going to sleep through it.

(59:34):
I think once in a lifetime event. I I hope, Well it's not
once in a lifetime here in thesense that it's not going to be totality.
It's just going to be a youknow, eclipse. So I'll just
kind of hang out and sleep.I'm going to be as luck would have
it. And I didn't even planit this way. A couple buddies of
mine a arrange tea time, SoI'm gonna I'm going to be out on
the golf course during the uh theincoming eclipse here this afternoon. So yeah,

(59:58):
we're supposed to see off at twothirties, like an hour in.
I don't know if that's going tobe three holes. Maybe we'd be on
the fourth hole by that time.Anyway, I'll have open viewing, so
hopefully capture something cool. And againthey say, you know, don't like
use your I guess you could useyour cell phone, but that needs to
be protected. I don't know.I haven't paid attention because I plan to
be napping. Yeah, well,they say to shut off your flash if

(01:00:21):
you plan to try to photograph thething. And that's the thing we're gonna
get tons of those crappy cell phoneimages on social media for the next forty
eight hours. More reason to justnap through the next two days. Leave
it to the professionals because you knowthere's like flights up there, NASA's involved.
The professionals are going to capture whatit's going to look like. So
don't feel like you're going to missout if anything right, And remember one

(01:00:44):
of the most important pieces of advicewhen when viewing this eclipse thing right,
and you don't stare at it.It's too risky. You got a sense
of it, then you look away. That's right, that's right, unless
you have the protective eyewear associated withit. For listen, we're getting into
more dark matter, that's right.Pearl Jam's Dark Matter in the Dark Theater

(01:01:04):
event one night only, a listeningsession to hear the brand new Pearl Jam
album and its entirety before it's released, and you can be there at Showcase
Legacy Place on April sixteenth. Wehave your passes to give away three times
every day. Your next opportunity comingup at eleven ten with Carter Plus will
hook you up with a copy ofthe album on vinyl. So yeah,
not only do you get to hearit, but you get to take it

(01:01:25):
home too, before anyone else.Very exclusive Pearl Jam opportunity for you again.
Coming up at eleven ten with Carter, three ten with Chuck, and
as we go off into the beautifulsunny skies out there, I think there's
only one way we can leave youtoday and getting back to what some see
as maybe the end of times.Some see a sense of chaos. The

(01:01:46):
earthquakes, the thunder, snow,the cicadas, and yes, today's eclipse.
We will leave you with this,my friends, disaster of biblical proportion.
What do you mean biblical? Whathe means as Old Testament? Yes,
you mayor of God type stuff.The fire and brimstone coming down from
the skies, rivers and seas boilingforty years of darkness, earthquakes, volcanoes,

(01:02:07):
a bit rising from the green,human sacrifice, dogs and cats living
together, massistaria. Well, hopefullyyou don't get too hysterical out there.
Enjoy the eclipse this afternoon. We'llcatch you tomorrow. Good job, well
done, Cheerio and Bipe for nowover you say over. Boston's only classic
rock morning show, returning to tomorrowmorning five thirty to ten till then think

(01:02:30):
about doing the same with the Mackenzie, Heatherford and Kenny. If it stops,
what's stomping it and what's behind what'sstomping it? So what's the end?
You know at seven WUC Alex
