I didn't wake up groggy at all. Oh wow. Yeah. So

they said, well, it's adrug that killed Michael Jackson. Fentanyl jez
fentanyl mixed with dipper van oh coolit and cocktail propofall. Oh yeah,

(03:00):
and you didn't end up, youknow, dead. And all I can
think of is, how did thisguy Michael It's because he's a millionaire,
That's what the answer. Did heget a hold of that? How did
he get a hold of that andbe able to use anesthetic? Remember unsupervised?
Well there was the doctor that wasgiving it all to him. He
was using it unsupervised though. That'sthe problem. Oh, I thought the

(03:20):
guy was as they wanted to Yeah, he lived with them. They wanted
to arrest him, but they werelike Michael Jackson makes his own decisions.
Remember they took away his medical license. Yeah, that guy lived like he
was basically medicating him the whole time, medicating. But do you think at
any point he was using that unsupervised? I mean, how hard is it

(03:42):
to plug into a port? Well, I don't know if I don't know
if that having that man there isconsidered supervision. Yeah, right, so
anyway of that. And then whenthey take pictures, right, I mean
I got like Fuller in twenty picturesof Mike Colin. Who. Yeah.
And then and then they give youa graph and they number the pictures and
they show you where those pictures arefrom and your colony. Oh, it's

(04:05):
amazing. Then you tape them toyour body when you get home naked and
you say to your wife, how'sthis sexy? Oh my god? Two
polyps removed? Sorry, they clippedthose off with fourceps. Apparently apparently there's
you know, some healing to gothrough. But I haven't seen anything yet.
Yeah, nothing, nothing. Ofcourse I haven't gone number two yet

let's see what did I eat beforeor after? Lentils? And all
the beans you could put in yourbody. Afterwards, I'll tell you what
I ate after later, but Iwill tell you that, yeah, because
that was my big question. Idiscovered lemon jello for the first time because

(04:48):
it couldn't eat red, purple,green, any of those colors. That
yellow, yellow. I could eatyellow, nothing with dyes in it.
And I will say yellow jello ispretty good. Yellow jess yellow. That
yellow they put in there is nota die the lemon yellow must not be
or it doesn't affect the natural ifit is a coloring or yellow yellow number

(05:11):
three color, it doesn't. Itdoesn't affect the Uh, that's the one
colorless. That's the one color Icould eat was yellow, ye, no
green, no purple. Nom.You didn't have any broth. And the
last time I had Prepper, Iremember drinking a lot of chicken broth.
I did. I ran out ofthe container, right out of those squeeze
whatever those things are. Yeah,abnormal containers they come in unique to broth.

(05:33):
Yes, yeah, I poured thatright into a cup and heated it
up. M I was able todo that. Congratulations. Yeah, as
far as well, I'll tell youwhat my first first meal was late later.
Yeah, I'm sure it's going tobe super fun. It better be
super fun. By the way,an explosive device was thrown onto the porch
of the Satanic Temple and Salem.Can we all just agree not to throw

(05:56):
explosive devices onto the porches of nicehomes? Well through it? They don't
know. Sea Police said shortly afterfour to fifteen am Monday, a person
through an explosive device over the fenceand onto the porch of the Satanic Temple,
located on Bridge Street. No onewas inside at the time and was
not discovered until staff arrived at aroundfour pm, so like twelve hours later.
It was closed Monday, so thishappened on Tuesday. But I just

(06:19):
don't understand, Uh, I don't. I don't understand, Like nobody lives
there. They go and work andpray and do their stuff there. Right,
it's yeah, Satanic temple. Sowhy wasn't there a couple of years
ago a fire set on that?Yeah? I mean people, I just
leave them alone. Just let youknow, freedom of religion, that's what
they choose. Let them go abouttheir business. I mean, they're leaving

(06:41):
us alone, right, I wouldsay they are, yes, I mean
are maybe not spiritually? What doyou mean spiritually? Maybe they're cursing us
somehow. I don't know if cursing. I don't know if the curse people.
Okay, I think they're just youdon't know. Every time I see
something like this or the Satanic Temple. Did you read Paradise Lost by John
Milton? Did not? Did you? In your your English classes in college?

(07:04):
I saw an adult film with thesame title, though. I just
all I know is that I don'tremember a lot of it, but I
do remember, like you feel badfor Satan when you're reading that story.
So maybe they read a lot ofJohn Milton, and that's that's where they're
sent. My first book in fortyyears, Heather, Oh, did you
read it? The Art of Racingin the Rain? Yeah? I read
where It's a Dog. Yeah,it's great. Well, wait, I

(11:11):
legs aren't frozen enough that I mightgo in. Are you wearing shorts?
You're not wearing pants? Yeah,I'm wearing short pants. Okay, I
don't know. I think Chuck washere at the time. We talked about
some of the foods they were serving, their Irish nachos being one of them.
Did you see that that's with potatoes? Right? It's with potatoes,
yeah, and it's It sounded disgusting, but we'd all said we'd try it
for some reason. Maybe Pete youyou wouldn't try it. No, I

(11:33):
said I would, as long asChuck's holding it in his lap, right,
because it sounded pretty messy and youcan't use your hands. There were
so many. Let me see ifI can click on it and tell you
what the there were so many differentingredients. Like I'll show you a picture
that's is it like, Yeah,it's kind of like a loaded baked potato
deconstructed. Well yeah, and it'sgot waffle fries on it. So there's

(11:58):
just so there's so many corned beef, sauer kraut, sour cream, Thousand
Island dressing, and keso. Seethat sounds amazing, but separate, right?
Does that sound amazing? Do youwant Thousand Island dressing, sour cream
and kaso altogether? Sure? No, I don't need to try it.
You know what. I don't needthe keso now that I think about it,
And you need to just drizzle thatother stuff because that's the problem with

(12:20):
a lot of nachos is they're toowet. Yeah, And there's a chicken
and waffle bowl and the bowl isthe is the like like a like a
sugar cone. So it's mash pitatis with chunks of chicken on it and
it's in a waff waffle bowl.Yeah. Yeah, interesting it looks like
but it looks like one of thosecones that you know, the pointy cones
for ice cream instead, like,instead of it being a waffle, it

(12:43):
looks like it's waffle. I've onlyhad chicken and waffles once, and you
got to have syrup with it becauseit's a waffle. Yeah, yeah,
I know. So you got allthese things going on. I just you
know, I'm excited for you.I'm hoping that, you know, inside
of for the Red Sox coming homewith the seven three. I didn't think
it was going to go. Thisis great. Yeah, I mean we're
only we're only ten games. Itwas just seven and three. We're only

(13:05):
ten games in, but that's stilla much better record than I thought they
were after a ten game road trip. Oh my god, how are the
Orioles, Because I don't know oolsare good. That's a big test.
I think there are just a gamebehind us in the standings. Okay,
yeah, And have they played goodteams or bad teams? I think I'm
exture of both. But this byfar will be the biggest test for the

(13:26):
Socks. Last team they will havefaced Mariners, A's and Angels. They're
okay, but they're not the Orioles. I heed someone say this morning.
I don't know who it was,one of the sports guys. He was
saying that they might not win alot, but they're they'll sure be fun
to watch, And I'm like,is that enough? Is it enough that
they're young and fun to watch?Are you thinking yourself? You know what?

(13:48):
Next season is going to be better? Are we? Are we willing
at that point? Now? Theyare better? We are better? You
mean the last year? Oh yeah? Not having nessa now I test.
I test yesterday watching the Guardians homeopener. I wanted to check that out
because the big eclipse out there andI was able to watch it illegally,
So I think I'll be able towatch the Socks illegally. Oh that's right,

(14:11):
instead of having nesson for thirty bucksa month. Yeah, okay,
here, you're you're a bootlegger.Yeah. I'm not watching anything. I
feel like I've got Netflix and thenthere's like Prime. I'm not really watching.
I'm not watching any which is weirdbecause I feel like it's eliminating like
a major central It's a choice youmade. I know, well, it's

(14:31):
a choice my husband made, andI was just like, sure, I
won't spend any money. Z Lexweather sun mixing with clouds later highs in

the fifties? Fifty two degrees InBoston, I'm heather Ford on one hundred
point seven double UZLX, Boston's Onlya Classic Rock Morning Show. One hundred
point seven w ZLX six eighteen fiftytwo degrees. Kenny Young, Pete McKenzie.

(14:54):
Heather Ford had a close call thismorning. I forgot to bring this
up the open, but as Iwas making my way up speed on my
way to the highway this morning,something caught my eye up ahead in the
roadway, and at first I thoughtit was a skunk or maybe like a
fox or something like that. No, somebody's family dog was walking down the

(15:16):
middle of speed street sniffing, sniffing, and licking the roadway. And as
I abruptly slowed down to avoid somebody'spet animal here, I swerved hard into
the left lane very slowly so Icould go around him or her, And
it did what squirrels do when they, you know, like st jump under

(15:37):
your car. Yeah, it gotindecisive and like turned all of a sudden
and jerked like it was going torun towards me. No, no,
because it looked like an older blacklab with like a grayish chin and some
gray underbelly on its coating, solike an older dog. But I was
like, what is this thing thinkingabout right now? At four o'clock in
the morning. So I was justlike, it was like him, he's

(16:00):
thinking about freedom and all I couldthink about with his gray beard. Yeah,
I'm gonna go lick some roadways whateverI do in my old age.
But yeah, thankfully crisis avoided.And then I saw headlights behind me in
the rear view, and I waslike, God, I hope they see
this dog because it's pitch black andthere it wasn't a very well lit part
of the road, So I waslike, man, keep a handle on

(16:22):
your animals, all right, we'retrying to avoid Kether and I both might
be wondering why you didn't stop.Why I didn't stop look at the dog
and see if there was a tagon it. In a dress and delivered
dogs back to their homes many times. Yeah, it happened very fast and
on my way to work. Yeah, and yeah, avoid hitting him at

(16:44):
any cost. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, And did I mention how
doc it was maybe not as docas Pearl Jam's Dark Matter. The new
album is going to be released onthe nineteenth. How'd you like to hear

fifty two degrees partly sunny sky.Well, the greatest two and a half
weeks in college sports is caput.It's over. Are you talking about madness?

(17:55):
Madness is done? And who's yourchampion? While they're from New England,
Yes they are. What an amazingrun? It is a Yukon coordination.
The Huskies makes history back to backnational champions. Number one lives up
to the pilling. They defeat Purdueseventy five to sixty. Utter domination,

(18:22):
Yes, utter domination. Seventy fiveto sixty. Does that score ring a
bell for you guys at all?Should it? Should it? Yeah?
And it should? Now the squareswe were in, oh that that game
in the in our squares game wasworth one thousand dollars last night, And
had it been seventy five sixty nine, we would have won a thousand dollars.

(18:45):
Oh my god, fifty nine right, fifty nine sure, seventy five
to fifty nine, seventy five sixtyWe missed one thousand bucks by one point.
So one of those damn Purdue freethrows right, yeah, which is
good and bad because as we wouldhave had the decision to make whether or
not to just give it right backto the charity involved. Yeah, we
avoid all that as losers ninety ten. I think ninety would have gone to

(19:10):
the right. Yeah, as faras you right, I'm sure we would
have made a hefty donation. Ofcourse, I would have been pissed because
Heather would have said, let's giveit all back. Right, we would
have gotten the eye, so youknow we didn't have to do that.
Oh and by the way, yeah, I mean they're talking about this being
the best men's college basketball team ofall time for the simple fact that they've

(19:33):
won back to back championships by morethan twenty points a game. Yeah.
See I thought that was twelve games. Wow, that's amazing. I mean,
they're just they rules. The marginof victory, I think is what
separates this team from others. Yeah, in the recent past anyway, And
Kenny, I will tell you this. In the other pool we were in,

(19:55):
which was also for charity. Yes, out of I think it was
four hundred people, Yeah, youfinished in fifty second place. Yeah,
guy, that never fills out thesebrackets. Never no first one in my
life college basketball. Yep, winthe group when your worst one ever ever
in my life I've ever filled hilarious. Ever, how that works. Wow.

(20:18):
Yeah, I mean maybe I onlyfilled them out for here. No.
I think as a teacher, weused to fill them out like someone
ran a thing. Sure, we'reteachers. I can't tell you. Every
year I have like the same groupof people that send me emails and texts
saying, hey, get in onthe pool bubble. Yeah, I'll set.
You're all set. I'm all set. Yeah, you're all set.
Yeah. Well, you don't watcha lot of college basketball. Do don't
watch any college basketball? You know? I did? I did this time.

(20:41):
Did you watch Caitlin Clark at allday of the weekend? I did.
I talked about it yesterday. Iwatched Friday and Sunday's games in their
entirety. I did watch Sunday's gamethe second half. Yeah, yeah,
I watched the entire that's when thegame Cocks pulled, pulled ahead, a
great best, a great basket.It was an amazing team in bench scoring,

(21:02):
relentless. That's it. That's ridiculous. I mean, that is just
unheard of. The wife kept saying, what's the problem with uh, you
know, with Iowa, and Isaid, their shots aren't dropping when all
of South Carolinas are. It's likethat was they're just not deep. Yeah.
Yeah, They've got three good playersand that's it, and has got
seven or eight. Yeah, andthey're losing them because they're graduating. And

(21:23):
my husband's a game cock. Soyeah, yeah. So Caitlin Clark,
now she has the decision to make. Will she go number one in the
w NBA or will she accept allthat money from the rapper? I still
think iced tea or ice cube.I still think ice cube. I still
think she should go and grab themoney first. They don't get paid at
all, and she can always goto the WNBU. She can always go,
Yeah, get the buckets some money, take the bucket some money money,

(21:45):
and then play. Yeah. Afterit's not like you'll be unwanted after
two or three years. The onlyfemale college player anybody can name, like,
not anybody but people who know nothingabout college women's college sports. Yeah
exactly. I mean, she's gotshe's so so powerful right now. So
it's safe to say the three ofus won't turn our backs on her.

(22:06):
No, no, no, peoplewould turn their backs on her. I
don't know. Maybe she went tothe money money. No women get to
make any money in sports, likenot, like she's going to the Live
Tour. You know what I mean, I'm not turning my back if she
takes the ice cube money right,right, and with the opportunity to come
back. Hey quick, fun facthere. Back to Yukon for a second.
With that victory last night, they'venow moved into third place all time

(22:29):
for most men's national titles, withsix in the history of the university,
number one being UCLA with eleven,Kentucky with eight, and yeah, so
the Huskies are now tied with lookslike the tar Heels for US six.
I just like to stay for therecord that I think friends of ours,
I think their son started going therelast year, so he's been there two

(22:51):
years and they've won both years.So I feel like it's him. He's
the good luck for Yukon. I'mjust gonna throw that out there. Not
their intense skill or they're you know, blowout wins, of course, it's
just mister Heeney is taking them too. Brought the good mojo, mojo,
all the good mojo. By theway, the Yukon women's basketball team has

(23:12):
eleven titles, eleven titles with thesame coach. With that same coach,
there was a time period they werethe only ones that were winning any games.
Yukon women, the Yukon team madeit to the Semis six thirty six.
Now on this Tuesdays with a gloriousstart to this Tuesday fifty two degrees

I would have thought you would havegotten a flat rate and that was it,
But every time it ran, yougot a spot. You were an

(26:52):
artist. Yes. And I rememberthinking as I was walking away because the
one guy behind me in the picture, maybe i'll post the picture you're on
Instagram. The guy behind me dumpedhis coffee all over me while they were
because you had to excite you didget a coffee. Yeah, you had
to excitingly throw your arm up inthe air and say dunk in or so,

(27:12):
I don't know, it seemed realisticand obvious that we'd all be there
cheering. So yeah, that guythrew his coffee down my bag. Yeah,
you think for a commercial they'd haveempty cups that are just colored brown
like coffee. Oh, this waslike real, like Opening Day type,
like we were all just people goingto the game or in my case,
leaving the game before it started becausewe never got tickets to open. They

(27:34):
remember, we just did our broadcastsand they were like, all right,
go home, and they're like,okay, that's been my m over the
last ten years or whatever. Thehell? How many football games have we
gone to and tailgated at and thengotten cars and left? How many baseball
games? How many? I mean, it's just so bizarre to Kevin and
I went to a game in ninetysix. It was an opening day game.
I can't remember. I think itwas maybe against the Tigers, and

(27:55):
it was the worst weather. Itwas opening day, a home opener,
and the place was empty. Therewere like ten thousand people there. So
somebody just handed us two tickets andwe went in and froze our asses off.
See, you shouldn't have to eathot soup at a baseball No,
I'm just saying, no, youwon't have to today. Yeah, it'll

(28:15):
be okay compared to last year,which was forty degrees and blustery winds on
March thirty and a nice Red Soxrecord so far. Yes, you know,
yes, you can order Irish nachos, which are potatoes and every single
kind of cheesy cream and non cheesycream possible, piled on top of corned
beef and Sara kraut. I mean, it was the weirdest, but everybody's

(28:37):
going to be buying them when you'rethere. Items always fun, Yeah,
Hey, what's not fun is throwingexplosive devices at a Satanic temple. Hey,
can we all agree not to dothat anymore? I was thrown under
the porch of the Satanic Temple inSalem, which I don't know about,
you two. It's the only Satanictemple I know because it's local and it's
in the news and it's Salem.They'll try to burn it down occasionally and

(29:00):
people try to do weird things toit. It happened at four point fifteen
in the morning, so thankfully noone was there, and no one was
there yesterday at all until four o'clockbecause it's not open on Monday, so
I think someone who works there mighthave gone into check and the explosive device
kind of fizzled out. You know. It was just a lot going on.

(29:21):
Around four am last night, somebodylobbed a improvised explosive device at the
front of the house and it kindof fizzled out, but scorched some of
the side of the house. Wehave our own religious point of view in
practice, and I wish people couldsimply accept that and not do ridiculous antics

(29:41):
like this. It's a serious crime. It's a terroristic action. People could
have seriously gotten hurt. That's theco founder of the Satanic temple, mister
Greeves. Just yeah, let's faira point. Sounds like a reasonable man,
he does. Let's just all agreenot to do all the things that
re explosive devices on top of Satanictemples, churches, anything. Don't just

(30:06):
houses, people cars. Keep theexplosive devices to yourself. Don't make them.
Maybe I don't know I've set themoff on your own property. Maybe
don't set them off at all.Just don't do it. Z the Lex
weather sun mixing with clouds later,highs in the fifties. Cloudy tomorrow with
showers late in the afternoon. Highsagain in the fifties, fifty two degrees
in Boston. I'm heather forward onone hundred point seven double z LX.

(30:27):
Should be decent weather if you're headingdown to friendly Fenway Park today for the
home opener against the Oriels two tenfirst pitch. I like to shamelessly self
promote that I'm going to be downthere on Lansdown Street pregame. That is,
that's all I have. Ain't gotno tickets in my bogget, but

(30:47):
I'm gonna be down on Lansdown Street, right out in front of the House
of Blues. iHeartRadio. We've setup shop there with some of our sister
stations. So if you're going tothe game course, stop buying, visit
the sausage Guy, which I knowI'm going to be doing at least once.
And then Yeah, like I said, I'll be milling about on Landsdown
Street providing a pregame up to theminute reports and what a special day for

(31:08):
the home opener as they're going tobe commemorating the twentieth anniversary of the two
thousand and four World Series championship team. I found myself on Sunday morning watching
Nessen. They were doing a replayof the home opener from two thousand and
five against the Yankees, and itwas incidental in the fact that that was
the game. They were giving theplayers and the coaches their rings from the

(31:30):
two thousand and four World Series,the reverse the Curse Rings. So it
was just it was entertaining for meto watch the shots of the Yankees dugout,
having to watch on as each playerone by one came out and cut
their rings. Very satisfying, verysatisfying. And of course that famous introductions
when they did the player introductions,Mariano Rivera got the biggest applause. Oh,

(31:55):
because he had blown a couple ofnights playoff games. Look, you
know, took it like a champand the pro that he is and laughed
it off. But yeah, soDave assembled what appears to be nearly forty
members of that championship team from twothousand and four. Today, I mean
we're talking guys like, Yes,Keith Folk, Johnny Damon, Bronson,
Arroyo, all players which Kenny Ican name more of than I can of

(32:19):
the starting lineup for the Red Soxtoday, Derek, Derek Low, Kevin
Mallar, Trot Nixon, David Ortiz, Manny, Pokey Reese remember that name,
Veritech, of course, Yuke.So all these great players and another
special couple special moments. They're goingto be honoring Tim Wakefield, of course,
the late Tim Wakefield and fans aregoing to get a commemorative number forty

(32:43):
nine heart shaped pin on your wayinto the park to recognize and pay tribute
to Tim and his wife Stacy,who also passed away recently as well,
so members of the two thousand andfour World Series team. Big Opening Day.
They're also going to be honoring LarryLukeno who away recently as well,
and so all kinds of great stuffsurrounding the Jimmy Fund. But hey,

(33:06):
let me point out one last thinghere. If you do spot me on
the street, I'm gonna be doinga little street side trivia because I've been
given tickets to the def Leppard JourneyHeart Show at Fenway Park really to give
away on site. Beautiful, nopurchase necessary, gave they gave me some
tickets to give away. And he'seasily spotted. He's six foot four and

(33:28):
he's wearing red today, right redhood today, and we spotted. Yeah,
So come find me. I'll giveyou some street side trivia, you
know, and should you successfully navigateyour way, you get some deaf Leppert
tickets. You can go back toFenway when it's a little warmer, all
right, But the forecast is lookingpretty good for the opener. It looks
like a load to mid fifties andless win than last year, which is
always a bonus. Right one hundredpoint seven WZLAX, Boston's only classic rock

(33:52):
morning show, staying in the policesinging about the world's oldest profession. There
a Lady of the night, ifyou will seven On this Tuesday morning,
Glorious Sunshine continues to start the week. We'll take it Man fifty two right
now on its way up to thelow fifties. Pete, welcome back.
Hey you Kenny, hit me,hit you, hit me, hit me

(34:13):
one time? So what's going onwith Boston's holy classic rock morning show?
On one point seven w z X. Here's my first question about you do
smell getting anesthetics? Sorry, youknow the anesthesia administering administered. Are there
cameras in the room of these facilitieswhere you have work done on you when

(34:37):
you are under I just wonder justthat question. I don't know, and
I don't either. I don't know. I'm nervous, Okay, So my
second question is, so there's fourpeople in the room to start the colonoscopy,
right, feel like you're doing ajoke. A priest is something that
something Willking right, pretty much.Right, So you have the anesthesiologist,

(35:00):
you have the doctor, you havea couple of assistants. So there were
four or five people in there,and I just wonder if wagering goes on,
like what you're going to say,like what's what's what? What's the
last thing? Who's who gets toask the last question to the patient before
he goes under? Oh? Whatdo they ask you? What? I've
never been under? So we're soI roll on my side right that you're

(35:21):
going to be in there, youJohnny on the position, and we're having
a discussion about the eclipse, whichis hilarious because I'm getting a colonoscopy on
your eclipse on the dark side ofmy moon, as clar said in a
text. And I clearly remember havingthis conversation and then literally the next moment,

(35:42):
you're back in your room and you'rethey're waking you up. You got
some good drugs. Do you wakeup uncomfortable or comfortable? So ten years
ago, I will if you rememberI had that conversation with our producer and
I was super groggy. Yeah,you're like okay, yeah, nothing like
that, like when when the nursesaid you're back in your room. I

(36:04):
heard her loud and I woke.I woke up. I said, this
is great. I feel tremendous.Gotcha, she goes, Yeah, we
use a new drug now. Theone you used ten years ago was heavy
duty. It made you feel crappy. You know, the one they're using
now ten years later. We becauseWilliam had a remember anesthesia because he had
his appendix out two years ago inmay So, a little less than two

(36:28):
years ago. And when it tookhim a while to come back from being
under Once he was back in theroom, we waited and it took hours
for me to get like, like, I had to wheel into the car
because you're supposed to do anyway.Yeah, and then I had to basically
carry a six foot child and puthim in the passenger seat where he then
placed his head against the window,and I buckled him in and took him

(36:51):
home. Yeah, he was joyYeah. How long would you say an
app and deck to me? Wasit an appen deck to me? Or
did they just an hour or two? So? I mean, well,
there's a big difference between an houror two in my in my theory,
I don't know. How did yousay it's closer to two hours? Ye're
asking the wrong person because I wasin the waiting room by myself, no
other people, just sitting there worrying. So I wasn't looking at it because

(37:13):
I rolled out of my prep roomat ten to ten okay, yeah,
and I was back in that roomopening my eyes at ten thirty. Oh
yeah. It was way longer thanthat. Yeah, so that's probably why.
So he probably had more of theanesthesia Okay, yeah, yeah,
it just took a while, right, So mine was like, I mean,
I was wide awayencouraging. Yeah,he only had a few things that

(37:36):
they needed. Yeah. Yeah,is that what it sounds like when they
take them off, I don't know. They call him four steps clip clip
clop clop, yeah, clip clip, and they were moved. Speaking of
encouraging, Kenny, it wasn't soencouraging when the doctor walked into the room,
Doctor Aziz super well. Yes,he walks into the room, Kenny,

(37:57):
and here's the first thing he says, is this Jonathan High? How
are you this Jonathan High? Thatyou were Jonathan Jonathan Hi? How are
you okay? Wow? Are yougoing to have like a horn and pranted
in your head enough to make surethis is this is you? Know in
the prep the press. Yeah,I mean I'm still in the prep.

(38:19):
But this is the doctor that's goingto perform the proceed yes, okay,
oh hang on a second, waitfor it is your peach. I'm sorry,
that's okay, to make sure we'rethe right tack, right, Okay,
that's right, Okay, you're doingthe screen. I'm so sorry because
the photo looked like you. Okay, Oh my god, I'm pretty sure

(38:39):
this John guy is getting a ramshorn put in. He said, the
photo looked like me. The photothat he was looking at, okay,
with my husband's name, which lookednothing like me, because he showed me
the photo was the guy with darkhair and a five day beard. That
there was dark. I mean I'mwhite. Yeah, it wasn't your ibent.

(39:00):
A sketchy start to this, right, I'm to break your heart.
But you are you? Is thatwhat you're telling me? You're not,
mister Shaw? Okay, do youhave any questions? My one question was
is I going to be all theway out? You will be? Yeah,
you will, because my brother didit half awake. I'm like,

(39:22):
man, there's no way I'm doingthat. No, no, no,
no, absolutely, okay, Iwill see you in a few minutes.
All right, sounds good. RememberI'm Pete. I'm so you know,
you know. After wait, I'msorry. And then Pete takes the phone

(39:43):
and turns it to me, goes, hey, Facebook Live, that was
my doctor in case I need tofile malpractice. Thing. I do wonder
what goes what kind of wagering goeson, What kind of conversations go on
about the patient? Not everybody wagerslike you wager and it in your blood
to do so. Like I don'tbet on anything unless you ask me to,

(40:04):
like like I bet you blah blahblah book you know, Like,
no, I don't. I thinkit's a small group of people that everything
is a waste. I think it'sa room full of contests, is what
I think about the patient that's layingbefore. I think it has to be
that kind of fun I do.I would just want him to get my
name right because it's so repetitive.Same butt coming in all the time.
All butts look the same one butafter another. You haven't seen my butt,

(40:27):
have you? Dimples? Okay,I sent you a picture, so
I well, I was gonna say. I got two questions for you before
I look at this picture because Iknow what's coming. I have two questions.
Number One, when you came touh, you said you were in
the recovery room. So I justwant to make sure that all the doctors
and nurses and everybody was fully clothedwhen you came to Yes, okay,
I didn't want to be like thatcloth weird Seinfeld episode at the dentist,

(40:50):
Tim Whatley, Okay, good?Good? Now more importantly, more importantly,
because I remember what I had askedfor after my last colon oscar Be.
I wanted a big, heavy,rich like Italian dinner, okay,
and so my wife prepared an alternativeversion of lasagna. She made like a
Mexican lasagna with taco nice. SoI was very eager to find out what

(41:15):
your meal was after having eating.Did you pick foods based on trying to
put good bacteria back into yoursel?God, because I think you accidentally did
that. This is my favorite.This is my favorite meal my wife makes.
I sent. I put a pictureout on Twitter too of it.
It's I don't even know the nameof this meal, but I can tell
you what it is. Choke andbroccoli, rob. I mean, what's

(41:35):

I'll tell you get a little whitewine. There's a little white wine
in that Crime Fresh, Yes thereis. And my wife said, I'll
make it, but if you youknow, you have to clean up.
And I did because that is justit was so good after eating jello,

(41:57):
you know, and broth and brouWait. Wait when you took your first
bite, did you do that thingthat really annoys me? Where you were
like where you just had to liketalk through the chewing and watch words slowly

(42:19):

mouth when you're eating. And aspecial shout out to my buddy Paul,
you know Paul from Knobby's Cafe.He came out to Uh. I had

us part of your morning. Greatstory on seven X boss. Just sitting

(43:52):
here talking to baseball like like Iknow anything, which I don't, but
if you follow me on Instagram Heatherloves Ford at Heather loves Ford, I
posted two baseball pictures, which isweird. One of them is a screenshot
that he keeps in his phone,by the way, that I asked him
to send me because I don't haveit of a ridiculous commercial I was in

(44:15):
and I say ridiculous because I didn'tknow I was going to be in it
until I walked past some crew andthey said, Hey, do you want
to be in a dunkin Donuts yearsago? Yes? Exactly. Wow.
I couldn't even remember what year.I just know I was wearing a Red
Sox shirt and a hat and Igot paid money to hold up a dunkin
Donuts coffee. A man did spillhis down my back during one of the

(44:37):
takes, but that makes it morefun. I guess a small price to
pay, a small price to pay, and the other one's more sentimental.
It was the last Opening Day Ihad been to or I have been to,
and it was Kevin and I makingour grumpy. I can't believe we're
standing here, not going to thegame, but in this miserable weather,
talking to listeners and sooth. Thosepictures are at heatherloves Ford if you want

(45:01):
to look. Yeah, Opening Dayflash back, Opening Day flashbacks, So
good luck to the Red Sox.Kenny is fully geared? Are you wearing
your Red Sox underpants? Idea?I did the Red Sox thong on the
two thousand and four World Championship thongthat I'm wearing. I note, what

(45:22):
does a men's thong look like like? Is it like got a really big
front to it and just just thestring in the banah hammock. Right,
Yeah, well I wouldn't call ita string. It's more of a you
know, spandex polycotton blend. It'sit's very comfortable. Okay, it's just
checking because I know that I havea Revolution underwear that I was given for
Christmas every year by Kevin, whichI keep. I haven't worn since they're

(45:45):
a really good season. But apparentlyI should put that back on. So
if you have Red Sox underwear,maybe this is your this is your time,
Yeah, this is my time.Just performing the national anthem. Anybody
I can tell you Steven Tyler onHarmony, people even know that you to
have that information right now here,we would like to welcome not to this
studio. Yeah, a ring theBoston Fire Department Quartet will be performing the

(46:09):
national anthem. Very wonderful. HanscomAir Force Base will be presenting the colors
at the National Anthem. And yes, there will be a flyover some f
thirty fives from the Vermont Vermont AirNational Guard. Oh cool, they'll probably
fly over Framingham before the game.What does a Vermont Air National feel like?
It's like the last place I'd expectthere to be military, but I

(46:32):
know there is, right, butit just sounds so weird to say the
Vermont National Guard demands are encouraged tobe in their seats by one thirty.
Okay, there you go. Theycall them the Vermont National Guard, but
they're really rogue. I think theGreen Mountain Boys, Green Mountain Boys.
I hate to go from something sopleasant and wonderful, and it's pleasant and

(46:53):
wonderful because we don't know if theythey're going to win or lose, right
So right now it's a pleasant andwonderful moment opening day to this story.
And one hundred and sixty two,it's a lot one hundred and sixty two,
by the way of anything, onehundred and sixty two animals kept dollars,
No, not a lot of dollarsseized. Animals seized from a Massachusetts
home. The woman arraigned on animalcruelty charges. That woman, seventy seven

(47:16):
year old Ruth Schultz, Well,you knew she had to be in her
seventies and that many animals. Idon't know she could have been younger,
but I mean on the this isan air. They found baby goats crying
with no food or water out forthem. They found several dead goats outside
of the home. There were dogs, there were cats. There was just

(47:37):
so many animals that toughs, thetoughs, I think, what is it.
I don't remember. The rescue hospital. Yeah, the rescue hospital came,
toughs, veterinarians removed and treated allof the animals that they could get
out of there alive. They saidthere was an adult goat just limping around
with a broken leg in the middleof all this. Did you guys see

(47:58):
a picture of the property. I'mgoing to show it this I did.
It kind of looked like one ofthose cult compounds. Yeah, it kind
of looked like Deliverance a little bit. Yeah, like somewhat Sanford and Son,
but also somewhat cultish. Like there'smakeshift pens and tarps and garbage that
she had, like whole sections fordifferent animals. Maybe she'll get the help
she needs now. Seven too badfor the animals. Though she was released

(48:22):
on personal recognizance under the order ofthe judge, she's not allowed to possess,
work, live, or have onsupervised contact with animals. She also
surrendered all rights to the animals seized. I mean, how do you I
mean, I know how you getto that point, but just ask for
I mean mental condition. It's like, I mean, it's an animal hoarder?
Is what that is? There?Baby goats crying? Yeah, like

(48:45):
just right, and she doesn't seeit that way. No xeelex weather sun
mixing with clouds later, highs inthe fifties, cloudy tomorrow is showers late
in the afternoon, highs again inthe fifties, fifty two degrees in Boston.
I'm Heather Forward on one hundred pointseven w ZLA. Hey, listen,
I'm gonna drop some Arrowsmith on youright now. Well Aerosmith covering the
Beatles, but you get the gistof it right afterwards, when your copy

(49:07):
of Pearl Jams new record on vinyland excusive tickets to a listening party hard
It's Boston's only classic rock morning show. One hundred point seven WZLX just about
eight twenty five, now fifty fourMercury's rising. Hey, don't forget your
sunblock if you go to the gametoday. Just just a friendly reminder,
you know, yesterday it's Kenny Young, Pete McKenzie, Heather Forward. Yesterday,

(49:29):
the big talk was don't look atit. Don't look directly at the
eclipse, You'll burn your retinas out. You know what I liked about it,
It's all I heard about yesterday.Oh, the hype was high,
like the political world was set aside, the news feeds were set aside.
It was complete and total eclipse stuffyesterday to end. And I enjoyed it.

(49:54):
I love that part of it.Yeah, I did. I lost
half my family to buffer so theycould watch it. And then it was
cloudy the entire time it happened.So John said, So Ford and my
oldest William, they went to Buffaloto witness so once in a lifetime or
twice in a lifetime experience. Anduh, it was beautiful and sunny in

(50:14):
the morning, and Ford's like,this is great because they were in a
place called Lockport for people who knowWestern New York. And He's like,
this is going to be awesome.And then right before it was about to
happen, it got cloudy and crazyand like full clouds, like cloud clouds,
and then the minute it was oversunny. So I think just the
opposite happened in Arlington or something somewherein Texas where it was cloudy, cloudy,

(50:37):
cloudy, and then when the eclipsecame, the sunny skies opened up
and then closed again. John didsay, sorry, weird, that's all
right. It's just a religious,religious moment for many. John did say
that it got pitch black dark,like it went from daytime cloudy to nighttime
to daytime again. And that wasan awesome experience, but it would have

(50:59):
been cooler to have gone from sunlightto darkness. Yeah, we still had
seven and a half percent of thesunlight, so it was just dim.
And I was with somebody Yester.I was with Paul and Paul's dad and
a couple other people, and Paul'sdad, who's eighty seven. He kept
turning to me and saying, when'sit gonna get dark? It's not all

(51:21):
six times. Well, my dogsthey went nuts for that earthquake on Friday,
like Fishy freaked out, tried totunnel under my bed. He was,
oh, earthquake. Yes. WhenI got home, he behaved poorly.
And during the eclipse, even thoughI was napping, I woke up
to them just downstairs barking. Really, they were barking during the eclipse.

(51:42):
And again we didn't even go fulldarkness. They just started freaking out.
I mean, something was up inthe Cosmo's funny because we had our dogs,
Winston and Max, in the backyardwith us watching the eclipse. Nothing.
They just kept playing Danes are aweird group of dog And by the
way, speaking of this music,not that my mother's religious like this though,
but she she didn't say it outloud, but I know she thought
yesterday was the rapture I do,and she was just kind of waiting for

(52:08):
it all happened. Yeah, Isat on the golf course yesterday right at
that time. We had two thirtytea times, so it was perfect because
just after three o'clock I kept checkingthe phone and we were out on the
fourth hole when it started. Itjust had that weird tint to it,
right like your eyes. My eyescouldn't quite adjust. It wasn't dark,
obviously, but it was just thisweird tint to like the grass and the

(52:30):
sky was. It was weird.It was. It was a little weird,
but we just kind of all fellapart shortly thereafter. Like nobody had
a good game yesterday and we allblamed the eclipse. Yeah, because you
didn't bring You didn't bring the glasses. You didn't shop. How do you
know you're going golf and you're gonnaget a sober That was another problem,

(52:51):
not have eclipse glasses out there.Well, it's like my wife. She
went to work yesterday, nine electricians. None of them have eclipse glasses.
So she's passing her glasses around herand the eclipse right, and one of
the guys put a light up toit, because when you put those on
and look at the wall, it'sdark. It's just black black. Yeah,
the only thing that it can thatcomes through is the sun. And

(53:14):
he didn't understand. How do younot understand? So he puts a light
up to the lens and melts.It melted one of the lenses. So
they were all looking at the eclipsethrough one eye through better than what John
and William did. They took allthe glasses. Like I was napping anyway,
So it doesn't really matter. Butlike we remember, we got through
it. We have four I didn'tcare. We have four sets that William's

(53:37):
teacher gave us, which was fantastic, And then John had found a bunch
I don't know on Amazon or somethingjust last minute in case people needed it
in Buffalo. The two of themgrabbed all the glasses, so even if
I wanted to and so then Bobby'stexting, He goes, I'm at school.
We have extra glasses if you want. And it was an hour after
it was over. I saw itand I go, Mommy was napping,

(54:00):
said yeah, I mean I couldn'thelp, but watch and take the time
to watch. And by the way, the glasses, you can recycle the
glasses. I'm not recycling mine.I'm gonna use mine as a bookmark because
I'm reading now and I put toOh my god, I CrossFit. I
put yesterday's date on it too.Oh you did think four A twenty four
three seven PM. I told John, we're going to go to Spain in

(54:20):
August of twenty twenty six, andthat's when we'll see it. That'll be
my that'll be my fiftieth do that. But will you have an experience like
this? Woman? I just feellike the connection of the whole universe,

with that. Fifties are good going, The fifties are good. Fifties are
good, skinny, Young Pete McKenzie, heather Ford all the talk, A
lot of the talk this morning aboutopening day over at Friendly Fenway. But
I found I dug up pun intendeda little fun fact that you might be
interested in baseball fans that, asyou know, all the Major League baseballs

(01:02:44):
officially put into play maybe you don'tknow this, are preconditioned with a very
specific substance. And it's the onlysubstance that Major League Baseball will allow on
said baseballs. Well you know whatI'm getting at. Yeah, And the
only thing I knew was, youknow, you get a dozen baseballs or
whatever. I think there might befifteen in a case if I'm not mistaken,

(01:03:06):
and they and they have to be. They're rubbed down. They got
that because they come with this thisglisten on them. And this is such
a great conversation if you're just steppinginto it. Go ahead, let's rub
down with the glisten balls. Balls. But they get rubbed down. These
balls there they have seams, Yeah, scenes one of one of the yes,
yeah, keep going. But whatI didn't know was it's very specific

(01:03:28):
what they rub these balls down withand where it comes from. You ready.
Jim Bentliff is the president of theLena Blackburn Rubbing Mud Company. The
rubbing mud Company Rubbing Mundy is responsiblefor providing Major League baseball with the mud
they used to rub up every baseballthat goes into blood. Originally founded by
the former Big League player and managerLena Blackburn in the nineteen thirties, it
has since been passed down to Bentliftlifts about one thousand pounds of mud from

(01:03:51):
the Delaware River in New Jersey proper. So that's where all the mud that
gets rubbed up every single Yes,yeah, Delaware River specific. Having that
contract so specific, and you hearhim say that he won't even reveal the
location of said mud to every seasonand sells it to Major League Baseball as
well as other professional and collegiate leagues. There is a secret concoction of the

(01:04:15):
mud and some water that helps notlooted even more, but the origin of
the mug remains the same. Itall comes from a very secretive location in
the Delaware and ends up in everyequipment room in the major leagues. Every
ball is that I didn't know.Every single team gets the same mud.
He's been used in a Major LeagueBaseball game since the nineteen fifties has been
rubbed with mud from Lena Blackbird's company, which remains the only legal foreign substance

(01:04:35):
that's allowed on Major League baseballs.They got a monopoly on mud. Who
know, you know, I know, No, My my favorite guy for
doctoring up a baseball other than gayLord Perry because he was a master at
it was I think his name wasJim nicro brother. Oh oh oh yeah,
his brother Jim though, got caughtwith a piece of sandpaper in his

(01:04:56):
pocket. And when they came upto him and he pulled out you know,
the what's in your back pocket?And he goes, nothing, nothing's
in my back pocket. The sandpaperfalls already and he's got his arms up.
I don't know where that came from. I don't know why I borrowed
these doing. Yeah. But thisguy that we're talking about, this Jim
Bintlift that harvests the mud. Yeah, I found actually him talking about it.

(01:05:17):
You found the mud man. Foundhim harvesting the mud? Oh yes,
Oh, so he's shoveling that slop. Are you ready for this?
All right? In nineteen thirty nine, Lena Flackburn and my grandfather, John
Hawes, her childhood friend. Andwhen Lena started harvesting the mud, he
worked with my grandfather. When Lenagot too old to do it any longer,

(01:05:42):
he passed it to my Muddon isa young man's game grandfather. My
grandfather turned it over to his onlychild, my mother. I've been doing
it since I was a kid.Nineteen sixty five is the first time I
ever went out to harvest mud.It was about fifteen years old. My
mother looked at me and said,you're going to get the mud. I

(01:06:06):
had fun doing it. Yeah,he's still having fun doing it. You
never know what kind of lives peoplelead. Oh man, well, I'm
going to guest right off of ArrowIsland. I've been looking at the Delaware
River between Pennsylvania and New Jersey rightnow, So that's my guess. Your
specific location, say, Arrow Islandis where there's yes because it's surrounded by

(01:06:28):
major roads on either side, sono one really has any access to it.
There it is, there, yougo. I guess you could say
this guy's grandfado was a mudda,His fado was a mudda, his mudda
was a mudda, and now he'sa mudda. I bet his grandkids will
be mudda someday too. Studio producedCrowd Going Wild Sir Elton John one undred
