Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Let's do this fast in your seatthumps. I wake up every morning Boston's
only classic rock morning show. Ilook at myself at the mirror and go,
maybe I'm dreamer, ayb I'm awakedreaming name as sleek with Pete McKenzie.
I'm still vombing before every show Forduntil dirty and unsatisfied and Kenny Young's

(00:22):
get crazy. In other words,I'm crazy. I want you to go
hard, fast, heavy. You'retoo it. Here's to the future,
will you see Alex. Oh yeah, we're ready for it too. Should
have brought in a couple. Fridaytends to be a longer day, so

(00:44):
yeah, I welcome a tall andfrosty at this hour or maybe in another
hour. So now I can seeyou coming in with a cooler, little
cooler. That's my lunch pale.My name is Kenny Younger morning. Just
let you imagination run your guy.Yeah, those are words to live by
right there, Thank you the lateBob Ross by the way, five point

(01:07):
thirty on the nose. Just thoughti'd point out you say you're welcome for
that one guy. You're welcome.Pete mackenzie, Happy Friday. Now do
you think that urinal dividers take thefun out of urinals. No, what
do you think the only time thatI'll go up to a urinal is with
a divider. Yeah, if there'sno divider, I'm using the turlet.
What's it's a wall, It's atiny little wall. What does it block

(01:33):
you from seeing junk? Guys?Junk? Oh so it's a low wall,
like it's like shoulder height down tothe knees. But see with our
high pete, those little dividers makenary a difference, because yeah, so
you just have to kind of lookstraightforward, right, You know, it
happened real quick on the urinal frontyesterday. It happened again. Where I'm

(01:55):
the only one in there. I'mall the way against the wall on the
far left. Somebody from down thehall comes in. Not the guy that
likes to take his pants down atthe urnal, but somebody else and could
have used one of the stalls.Like if I go in there and someone's
at one of the two urinals,I go in and I use the stall,
all right, just because I wantsome separation, all right, Oh
God for you. This guy comesright next to me, I mean right

(02:19):
next to me. I don't know, there's a certain unwritten code in the
men's room. I agree space theurin. Why normally go into a stall?
I don't think of you guys.Three we have three in there.
We have three stalls, but onlytwo urine urinals. We only have two
urinals and there's that one guy thatuses the sink. Yeah, there's only
two urine right, all right?Okay, six one seven nine three one

drive. Let's do that. Lesyou get this is this is Friday.
I'm like singing, this is Fridayand this is heather Ford. Yeah,

(03:07):
no, bod with me in theseseats. I don't love nobody with me
in these seats. Ain't nobody gottime, Ain't nobody, ain't nobody not

(03:28):
time. Forgot about that. Iforgot Friday. But it doesn't click.
Yah, Yeah, it's gonna beclicking now you're hearing that. It's such
a busy weekend. It starts likenow and it'll end on Monday morning when
I come work will be a relief. You got all those Kentucky Derby bets
to get in, right, right, don't even have time for that,

(03:50):
right. The annual Jessica Patkat,former friend from Stuffolk Downs now Parks Racetrack
in Pennsylvania, is the track announcer, first female track announcer they've ever had
there. Too's amazing. We haveher at six twenty five for some derby
tips. That awesome, I knowpeople look forward to. I was driving
in this morning, debating whether ornot, as I do every morning,

(04:11):
to take the Pike all the wayto ninety three or to get on Storo
Drive. When I heard the trafficreport that the Pike is closed at Copley
Square. Why construction maintenance, Soyou got to get off at Copley.
I'm like, no way, Andthen the Storo Drive report comes on and
says, well, there's a storeroidtruck, so both of your ways in
are blocked. Were you both dealingwith this? I just hit the slow

(04:33):
one lane. I stayed on thePike and the slow one lane by Fenway,
and it wasn't too bad today.Some days you're stopping it you're stopped,
okay, but no today went rightthrough. Yeah. So the reporter
follows up with there's a truck storroad, but you can get by.
So that's the way I'm going togo. And then I'm hoping I got
my phone ready, I'm going totake a video. Yeah, you want

(04:53):
to see the stir row. Iwant to see it, and I want
to show everybody, you know,the store road truck. So I turn
right onto driving. Right there inthe double Tree parking lot is the big
semi truck tow truck, you know, and the truck and a little crinkle
at the top and a traditional stirring. Already they'd already cleaned it up,
right, that's what starrowing should happen, right in the middle of the night,

(05:16):
between one thirty and three am.It should never happen because the signs
are clear and your truck basically getssmashed in the windshield by those little fringy
sign chains if you try to geton. Yeah, so you're warned well
in advance, right, it shouldnever. The fringe sign is my favorite
thing, where it's a sign thatsits the height of the bridge and then

(05:41):
there's like chain links that are comingoff of it, Like if you go
through here, you're doing it wrong. Right. Is it going to take
for companies and organizations and maybe evenU hauls and riders and all those companies.
Is it going to take some sortof a brass plaque right there on
the dashboard in bold letters to saythe high of the vehicle. No,
it's going to take what they haveon shopping carts in like really high end

(06:03):
shopping areas where if you try totake the cart out of the parking lot,
the wheels lock. It's going totake one of those things eventually.
Oh yeah, like golf cart carts. If you leave the area of play,
they got shut down. Now,this won't happen until all cars are
self driving, and then they'll nevergo onto a stirle. But you would
need some sort of a self lockingthing, like you try to get on

(06:26):
that and it's like nope, right, not happening. The other thing that
happened to me this morning is comingoff a Route nine headed over to Route
thirty in between Shoppers World over therewhere the body was found. I see
two yes, in that area,I see two cop cars whiz by going
I'm down thirty by lows and target. Yeah than that, And I'm like,
whoa, what's going on? SoI turn right and I'm going in

(06:47):
the same direction those cop cars are, and they go all the way down
at one of the traffic lights andmake it you turn and turn their lights
off. And as I'm driving by, they're pulling into the parking lot at
Barmeki and Jewelers. Oh and there'salready a cop there with his flashlight out.
I'm wondering if there was a anattempted break in at Barking in the
middle of the eye, we'll lookat the news. Or it's thieves with

(07:10):
cop cars. Oh, that's aperfect cover, I know. Steal a
cop car and three cop cars anduniforms and then break into a jewel and
a couple of mag lights. Yes, yeah, you know that bar making
and jeweler. It is a bigbuilding. It's yeah, it's two or
three stories maybe, And all I'mpicture in my mind is guys repelling from

(07:30):
the ceiling, you know, downin there doing doing. These are all
possibilities. Peak. That's a realjewelry store, right, I hope.
So what would it be like afront for something else? Well, no,
like like they sell you know,costume jewelry or something. I don't
know. I've never been in there. Probably. I think real jewelry stores
sell both. Actually, because youcould buy some expensive costume jewelry. Yeah,

(07:55):
you can. Kind of weird,isn't that. You think it'd be
cheap, but it's not. Zeelexweather mostly cloudy and upper fifties today and
tomorrow some rain in fifties on Sunday. This all sounds lovely. Monday sounds
great, though, seven forty seven? What's Monday look like? Sonny is
seventy Are you kidding? No?Forty seven degrees? In Boston? I'm

(08:15):
Heather Forward on one hundred point sevendouble UZLX, Thank you very much.
It's one hundred point seven w ZLX, Boston's only classic rock morning show,
the inimitable Peter Frampton five forty twoHere, how many children do you think
We're conceived? After the release ofFrampton Comes Alive the beginning of nineteen seventy
six, I bet that album providedthe soundtrack to many a conception that was

(08:39):
album voted Album of the Year,over eight million sold in the US alone.
It was inducted to the Grammy Hallof Fame, a landmark live album
by all accounts and just one ofthe many reasons Peter Frampton will be enshrined
and inducted to the Hall of Fameclass of twenty twenty four. I know
there's diehard Frampton fans out there,like it took them long enough, right

(09:01):
about time. Well he's been worthy, He's been nominated multiple times. So
congrats again to Peter Frampton's Katy Young, Pete Mackenzie heather Ford forty seven.
Yeah, another weekend in the fifties. Thanks, mother and Atia told you
fake spring, we're not quite thereyet. You want to talk numbers,
Today is another opportunity for you tograb a thousand bucks become a thousand are

(09:22):
beginning at nine to ten with ourthousand dollars bribe here all right, Pete,
I don't know how long you're goingto be able to keep the bank
vaults open and continue to unload onethousand bucks thirteen times every day. Well,
fortunately it was just paid a coupleof days ago, so the funds
have been replenished for the thousand dollarsbribe. You're welcome, and if you
keep ripping beers, you'll have allthose returns that rack ups and change,

(09:43):
you know what I mean, yourbottle redemption operation. We got a couple
of those roaming around Framingham with theshopping carts and the large, the super
extra large. I don't know wherethey get those garbage bags, the ones
that are like yard bags that youcould the ones that are as tall as
you when they're filled with can II don't know. I've never seen those
for sale anywhere. Ironic you shouldmention that, because just earlier this week,

(10:07):
I'm coming up over the bridge righthere, sixteen Medford or is that
twenty eight sixteen right? Anyway,I'm coming up over the bridge and a
couple of those giant black bags filledwith bottles and cans someone had slung over
their back as they're pushing the cart, so I couldn't tell that it was
a person. I just saw thisdark object moving on the side of the

(10:28):
road, not on the sidewalk wherethere is one, but in the road,
and I kind of was like,well, I'm glad I'm paying attention
because this person could get hit.Well, the sidewalk just isn't wide enough.
I didn't know there was a personunder there with those huge bags filled
with bottles and cans. Hew,they got a text from the six one
seven. Can you ask Heather ifthey will if there will be any champagne

(10:48):
tomorrow night after the Bruins game seven. Oh god, hey, I hope
people will be celebrating with champagne andthat they're from here. Well, here's
the thing from what I saw lastnight. Do you want the Bruins to
play the Panthers? Not? Notthe way they're playing right now. They
think going to be a short series. It's hard to win when you don't
shoot. Here, I said it, thirty minutes, two shots on goal.

(11:11):
You're not going to win any games. Sloppy, sloppy. We'll get
a little more in depth with theBruins and we're gonna hear Jack Edwards sign
off. We gave Mike Gorman hishis due, so we're gonna give Jack
his due in just a little whilehere. Meanwhile, more music on the
way and headlines at the top ofthe hour from a Planet Fitness WCLX Studios,
Horizon Now. Now, thanks formaking us part of your morning idiot.

(11:35):
Great story one seven, WCLX,Boston. It's just one of those
days. Apparently, at least yesterdaywas now ninety five in Norwalk, Connecticut
is closed at least through the weekendbetween you know, Massachusetts, Connecticut and
New York. So if you planon taking the ninety five it's New York

(11:58):
City anytime soon, don't you haveto go an alternate route. I kept
seeing news footage of what looked likeand I could only describe it as a
melting highway bridge overpass. That's whathappened. A tanker truck filled with gasoline
I think it' said eighty five hundredgallons or something first into flames in a
three vehicle crash. I haven't seenanything about any of the drivers yet.

(12:18):
I'm sure that was part of yesterday'sstory. But the heat from the burning
fuel compromised some of the bridge.So the bridge is going to come down
and they're going to put a newone up. It melted the bridge away,
and so the other side. Iguess when they are figured it all
out, that will be both ways, so it'll be slow going, oh

(12:39):
my god, but ready by Monday. Well, not the new I don't
think the new bridge will well,the road will be opened by Monday,
which is surprising. The road willbe open, but I think the other
side will be open and then everybodywill have to like, well, no,
that they certainly can't build a newbridge. I get that in two
days. But somehow they're going toopen the road by Monday, which is

(13:00):
I can applaud that I can.But it'll be three lanes for both ways,
feel instead of six lanes, it'llbe three. How safe do you
feel about going over that bridge onthe other side being so close to the
other thing, it was compromised.It was pretty close to the heat too.
Well, if you do go overit and it collapses, at least
your family will be taken care of, will they? Yeah, I don't
know. You and I are bothgoing over that bridge next week, that's

(13:22):
right, And I don't The onlything I keep thinking to myself is great,
they're going to reopen it. I'mfinally going to get over the bridge,
you know, through the traffic,and that's collapsed. I was happy
to find out that it wasn't thegas tanker's fault. Was it a tiny
car's fault. There was another truckthat cut off another truck, and then
he tried to avoid the accident.Oh oh, and then that's when he

(13:45):
got in the accident and burned thebridge down. Great. Well, now
now we have melty bridges, soenvironmental crews work to clean up the gasoline
and firefighting foam is everywhere, andso maybe they're waiting to open it all
up because they have to get ridof that first. It's not even that
they have to do anything to theroad. They're just like, it's covered
in foam and gasoline and we justneed to wash it down and give it

(14:07):
a good scrub. Everyone bring pressurewashers. Yeah. So, I think
the Merritt Parkway is something I've beenon that too a number of times.
It's something that cars can use,but trucks can't. Big big vehicles can't
giant buses. I think originally roadsbuilt north from New York City and then
eastern New York City were built withlow bridges because they didn't want buses to

(14:28):
be able to get there from thecity. They only wanted cars to be
able to do it. So theirdesigned flaw there to protect themselves from city
people is also stopping trucks from goingthrough it. I know that. Yeah,
great good. The reason I tryto avoid ninety five South at all
in any accounts because usually when Ihead towards New York, I'm doing eighty

(14:50):
four, oh yeah, and theneighty seven or doing whatever I can,
but that's just so long it getsto New York City. Is the alex
weather mostly cloudy in upper fifties today, Tomorrow summrain in fifties on Sunday forty
seven degrees. In Boston, I'mHeather Ford on one hundred point seven UZLX
with the Mighty Zeppelin in Boston's onlyclassic rock morning show, six sixteen forty

(15:11):
seven. I feel like I've beensaying forty seven for the last four mornings
in a row. It's Kenny Young, Pete McKenzie, hed A faud Man.
I had an interesting day yesterday.Real quick, real quick. I'm
gonna make this thirty seconds or lessif I can. So. The wife
and I are members of the Bjay'sBox Wholesale Club, not members of Costco.

(15:33):
But we did discover that the Costcoand Waltham right off one twenty eight
there has the discount liquor section thatyou can just walk right into. You
don't need a membership to get inthere. So we go there and we
stock up a couple times a yearon maybe a few times a year on
our you know your various Kirkland products. Sure, no your booze on your

(15:56):
boots, you're yeah, okay,I get your mixers anywhere, but this
place they've got some good prime onstuff. Correct. Correct? Uh So.
But then I realized there's a Costcoright over here in Everett, right
off the Mystic and Target. Yeah, right by Target at Home. It's
right next to Home depot. SoI said, oh, Thursday, I'm

(16:17):
going to pop in there real quick, and I'm going to do my liquor
shop in there, so I don'thave to go to wall of them.
I can just go straight home.Right I go over there, you would
have thought it was the Saturday ofa holiday weekend at this Costco. This
is around eleven fifteen, eleven thirtyyesterday. I had the circle like a
shark looking for parking, just tofind out if they had liquors. Go

(16:38):
to the park there, and thenwalk clear across the parking lot. I
should have parked at the Home depotin hindsight, But so I do all
that. I get into the place, I know I've gone over thirty seconds.
Sorry that one guy that's angry.Uh. And they tell me at
the door, Yeah, the liquor'sright in the middle, and so I
said, oh, that's a redflag, because then I know in order
to check out, I'm going toneed a membership. But that wasn't even

(17:02):
I turned around and walked out becausethe lines were like ten deep at the
registers, even the self checkout snakedaround yeah, and I'm like, I'm
not going there. I'm out ofhere. I gotta go schlep it back
to Walt dam what's the grocery storeover there, Heather as in Shawls.
No, Oh, I don't know. I know that the Wegman's Way.
Maybe it's a market basket that's overthere over this way. I can't remember

(17:23):
where what the name of the storewas, but in that area there's a
grocery store that I went into afterthe show one day. It was the
same way. It was a zooeleven am. Yeah, on a weekday.
Yeah, lines forever, just gettingaround that rotary. Just to think
about the fact that the Wellington Circle, which I know that technically, I
guess that's a rotary, but it'smore just a confusing amount of roads converging

(17:45):
on the same spot, and thenthe rotary when you go this way trying
to get to the It's like,this is the weirdest stretch of road ever,
and it's so crowded and I don'tknow what everyone's doing there. Yeah,
and there's so many people here Atlike ten thirty eleven o'clock in the
morning, I could not believe thatparking lot in that store. I was
like, what is going on?It's Thursday? Try going into the target.
It's like an I can't. Idon't even understand. I always look

(18:07):
around. I go, I knowwhat I do for a living. I'm
done for the day. What areyou doing? Right? You know?
Why are there so many of you? Yeah? Thirty minutes later I hit
the Costco and walt them right there, same thing. I can't find parking.
The place is mobbed and there's aline to get in and a line
to get out. I'm like,what is happening on this cargo? Either

(18:29):
that many people getting psyched up forthe Kentucky Derby and Sinko to my I'm
like what. I could not explainit, could not explain it. Maybe
that's what I might have been paidday. Maybe that's what everybody gets paid.
Yeah, a lot of bulk itemsbeing personal Oh yes, oh yes,
I did that. Yeah, yeah, and almost got away with a
free bottle of something something. Notto my fault, but the guy with

(18:53):
the zapper. As I'm walking outthe ladies, you know, they check
your receipt, she stops me andshe goes, oh, wait a minute,
you have six bottles here. Youonly charge you for five. So
then the lady comes over. Theypull me out a line, the whole
thing, and she says, oh, oh, it's okay. We'll just
ring that up again over here atthe service wes check. It was an
adventure I got into yesterday. Isurvived it, So I said, you

(19:15):
know, even though my BJYS doesn'thave booze, I think I'm going to
stick to that. Stay away fromthe costco scary stuff over there. Listen,
we got a lot popping here atthe station, large wholesale bottles of
liquor not provided. You're gonna haveto provide those on your own. But
we have our classic rock Clash ateight forty here. We're gonna be hooking

you, Pete? Rag Doll?Sure doll would be a great name.
Kenny, Big Day Tomorrow, BigDay Tomorrow, six o'clock, right,
six fifty seven post time, posttime. We're going to bring in a
special guest, as we always dothis time of year. Let's do that.

(20:23):
Jessica Bacatch. She used to workat Suffolk Downs. She was a
senior vice president of marketing there,did a lot of things for that racetrack
and has moved on in life andis now the first female track announcer at
pars Ray Parks Racetrack in Pennsylvania.Jessica, welcome back, Good morning,
everybody, Thank you for having me. This is my favorite Derby tradition.

(20:45):
This tops them and Julip for me. Absolutely yeah. So did you already
get up and feed your horse thismorning? And someone else feed him luckily,
so I have to feed my dogs. Then I'm going to go ride
him and then fly back to Philly. There'll be some sad when I get
there today. Here, Oh Ibet, oh, I bet. You
know what I noticed about this year? Well, there are a couple of

(21:06):
things I noticed about the Kentucky Derbythis year. Well. Number one,
it's the one hundred and fiftieth runningof it, which is a landmark event.
Number two, the purse is morethan doubled from last year. Is
there a reason for that? Doyou know? I think Churchill Downs and
racing in Kentucky is doing so wellright now that why not make this the

(21:27):
most lucrative race for a three yearold as possible? And there are also
some races overseas in Saudi and Dubaithat have opted their purses, So I
think it's a competitive sort of thing. Or is it still the biggest?
So last year the perse total pursewas two million. This year it's five
million, three point one right tothe winner. Is that what it is?
Yes, it's a small chunk ofchange, no big deal. It's

(21:48):
fine, you know that. Ithink the real life changer is for the
winner. Or maybe it goes beyondthe winner. Maybe it goes down to
a horse placing that it's life changingmoney for the owner. Right. I
think at the level that most ofthese people are competing, this money really
doesn't matter to them. These areI mean extraordinarily generationally wealthy people. But

(22:10):
the interesting thing in this year's Derbyis it is life changing for some people.
There are a few folks that thisis their first time and probably their
only time in the Kentucky Derby.They have once in a lifetime kind of
chances here. It is it moreexpensive to get into the Derby these days?
Or is that kind of stayed thesame. I think it's more expensive.
The cost of horses has gone up. I mean the cost of a
nice horse. You'll see a horsein this race the cost to two point

(22:33):
three million dollars. But then you'llalso see one the cost eleven thousand dollars.
So it's easy to get seduced bythose big price tags. But a
nice horse can come from anywhere.Wow, have you picked out your dress
and your hat for the Derby?You know? The beautiful thing about being
the race color is no one seesme, so I can roll in as
comfortable as you sweatpants. Yeah,I'm not there yet, but I mean

(22:55):
we're inching closer by the day.Listen, Jessica I whove got a quick
question of the horses in the field. How many that you know of have
the pedigree of previous Derby champions.I think this is a lovely group of
horses. It's Charlis well bred horses. But the interesting one on the inside
door Knock. He's a full brotherto Mage, who won the Kentucky Derby

(23:15):
last year. And for an evenmore fun fact, the horse's mother.
We call it the Damn Puka.She won a stakes race at Suffoc Downs
before we closed. Oh, lookat that. And here's another fun fact
about door Knock. The owner isa former Major League Baseball player and World
Series champion. Get out of here, Yeah, Jason Worth, remember the
hym the name Jason Worth? Yes? Right? Crazy? Wow? Yeah,

(23:40):
yeah, I saw an interview he'stalking about on nervous. He was
never nervous in a baseball game,never nervous, and a bat for the
World Series, but his stomachs andknots. Yeah, that's that's awesome.
All right, let's uh, let'slook at the horses now, because you
know we we've in the past gottena try effecta from you. It was

(24:02):
a winner once upon a time,It's all, hey, once is a
enough. Yeah, trifects aren't easy. And that was a good one.
That one paid about eleven thousand dollarson a six dollar wager. Sick.
That was sick. So come again. Twenty horses and twenty horses at post
time. None of that's changed,right, there's been no replacement replacements?

(24:23):
Yeah right, there are twenty.There was one scratch, but that means
the twenty one at the gride dropped. He drew in, so still there
will still be twenty number nine andSino did scratch, okay, nine,
And Sino is a toss, allright. That's a scratch, all right,
got you on that, all right? So what do you like?
So I'm going a little crazy thisyear. I love it and this is

(24:45):
this to me, is the kindof race that with fierceness, he's going
to be the favorite. You're eitherall in on him or you toss him
entirely. That's got a great name, and he is and he's a very
nice work. He was our championtwo year old. But I just I'm
trying to be clever, So I'mtossing him right out and going with the
Japanese horse the eleven Forever Young,undefeated, untested. His numbers measure up

(25:07):
with the American horses, and thathas not always been the case with the
Japanese horses that have come in thepast couple of years, and I think
Forever Young is their best chance.We've seen them start to dominate in other
parts of racing, the breeding industry, of course, but also on Breeders'
Cup Day. They really the pastcouple of years they're figuring it all out,
how to shift here and win,and I think this is the year
so Forever Young. That's crazy enough. He's ten to one on the morning

(25:30):
line, but then I like onthe way outside number twenty Society man at
fifty to one. Yeah, Andnormally I would give a jockey, I
would give a trainer a little bitof grief about taking a young, inexperienced
rider off who's done well with thehorse, who's done the job. Louis

(25:51):
Rivera Junior actually wrote at Parks herode this horse in his last two races,
including a win, and he takeshim off and puts on who I
think is the great I get jockeyof all times, and this is the
one time I will give him.I will give a trainer an excuse.
If you have a chance to getFrankie the Tory, you get Frankie the
Tory. Wow, all the wayout of twenty two. I got to
go with Forever Young just because ofmy namesake you anyway, that's worth a

(26:14):
gamble right there? I think itis right. And who's your who's your
third horse in the trifecta? Sothis I'm not being too clever with this
one. That is Sierra Leone,who will probably be the second choice behind
Fierceness, if not the favor himself. He's I think the most talented of
the group, but he comes fromso far out of it it would have
in a field of twenty horses.He's just at the risk of running into

seven WZLX, Boston's only classic rockmorning Show, six fifty two forty seven.

(29:23):
There, I'll say it again,all right. I'm looking at the
little computer box here and it sayscurrent temperature forty seven, Low temperature forty
seven, high temperature forty seven.Yeah, I guess only getting into the
fifties this weekend, so going tobe a chili one here. It's Kenny
Young, Pete Mackenzie, hell ofoud I saw did you you people?
Were you realize that in Antarctica thereare currently one hundred and thirty eight volcanoes,

(29:49):
according to a recent survey. Ihad no idea there was that many
volcanoes in the frozen continent. Iknow there are a lot of volcanoes in
the world. Yeah, I didn'tknow. Is there one in Indonesia right
now that's stopping flights and whatnot abig one? Is it starting to spew
volcanic gas? That might be thisone? And I'm probably gonna pronounce it

(30:11):
wrong because I've never seen the nameof it in my life. The fiery
Mount Erebus or Arrebus is on thesouthernmost active volcano on Earth. It's over
twelve thousand feet high. It's beenspewing not ash, but tiny crystals of
gold. And they're estimating there's enoughgold coming out of this volcano that it

(30:33):
could amount to about six thousand dollarsa day worth of gold. So I
can just see it now, allthese giant charter boats heading to Antarctica.
This gold in those hills. Goldreminds me of a little flake. I
bought a little flake of gold Ibought a few weeks back, seven dollars.
Yeah, it would be something thatwould come out of the volcanoes that

(30:56):
small, I mean, yeah,And that's the thing. How many tiny
crystals would you have to gather up? It gets said six thousand a day.
I wouldn't have known any Greek pronunciationseither, but I just looked it
up. I think it's Erebus.Also, I got it right the first
time. Arabas yay, fifteen hundredactive volcanoes on Earth. Wow, unreal
many. Yeah, but at theother ones spewing tiny crystals of gold peak.

(31:17):
I think not six grand in andof itself is great, but see
we uh spew out thirteen grand everyweekday with the thousand dollars Bride nine to
ten will be your first of thosethirteen opportunities from the Planet Fitness WCLX Studios,
Horizon Spin. Now, now,thanks for making that part of your
morning lies, Heather Idiot, greatstory, Thank god. On one point

(31:41):
seven WCLX, Boston, Are weKaren reading wrong? You know, like
as a group reads very Karen read? Are we Karen reading wrong? Because
I was out you know how sometimesthe radio station blasts other stations like right
over our heads when we're sitting atour desks. Yeah, oh yeah.
So for the the past few morningswhen I've been out there, one of

(32:02):
the stations in our cluster, theyplay like callbacks or things from the day
before. And every day all theydo is basically open their phone lines and
everybody just Karen reads all over theplace. They just vomit read everywhere they
want to. They spend the listenersspend like just minutes talking about how they

(32:23):
feel about it, what the conspiracytheories are, and I'm thinking to myself,
the three of us know a minimalamount. I bring it up only
out of because I feel like Ihave to, Like, right now,
it's everywhere, but it's everywhere?Are we Karen reading wrong? Like?
Do people want to talk about thismore? Probably? All I can say

(32:45):
is from my perspective in a productionsense, I haven't heard and there's been
nary a talk back. I don'tthink I've seen a text recently or social
media. I mean, I tryto keep my finger on the pulse of
what people are talking about as faras the listener's talking back to us,
and I don't see anything Karen readrelated. Yeah, I just wonder are
they doing that? Are they?Usually I'll get an email from a couple

(33:07):
of people saying, well, didn'tyou talking about it? I don't.
I'm not even getting those No.Well, I mean the other thing I
noticed, too is going to thenews stations. You know, you look,
click on a video and they're twominutes and thirty seconds long or something.
They'll cover a story. I mean, all the Karen Reid videos are
like literally, I'm not kidding.No, twenty what like they're the one
one video was over twenty minutes?What? Yeah, we are totally Karen

(33:31):
reading. That's wrong. I don'tmake time for that. I mean,
people are it's local, it's noand now it's a national story. So
people want to vent and I livenear it. I know it's weird or
even weirder, sir, and Istill can I mean, I'm having dinner
in Canton. I'm doing things inthe area. Your question is are we

(33:52):
not doing enough Karen reading? Yeah? Are we Karen reading wrong? Yeah?
I just don't know. I mean, can you found some really fun
audio from If there is anything funabout this trial? Between I think it's
the prosecutors and the defense attorneys.And again I don't actually know what's happening,
but it's something like some people aresaying she did something and some people

(34:13):
are saying she didn't. Those werethose were the people on seeing the paramedics.
Yeah, okay, some were sayingshe said this, others were saying
I never heard that. So betweenthe attorneys and the witnesses that are on
the stand, I think they shouldclear everything up right right communicated in both
instances that the defendant said to you, I hit him, repeated correct.
At no point in time did youever hear her say I hit him?

(34:36):
I hit him, I hit himcorrect? All I recall her saying was
is he alive? She said,I hit him? She repeated it,
And there was a police officer whowas in that vicinity kind of with us,
who replied, you what. Sherepeated it one more time, and
that officer then signaled to somebody,get Goodie down here, which I'm assuming

(35:00):
would be the sergeant. Oh Goodie, you know Goodie, of course I
do. All I know is thatI can't remember anything specifically that the two
of you said five minutes ago,and that if anybody ever put me on
a stand and said what did theysay? I would have no idea,
especially word for words. So Idon't even know. I feel so bad

(35:22):
for anybody who has to testify,especially about something that happened years ago.
Oh, and then throwing a traumaticexperience on top of it. How are
you going to remember? You know, all you're remembering is how traumatic this
all is? Right? So didwe just Karen read correctly over the last
second? I believe. Let thelistener decide via the text line WG Election
message to encourage radio. The storythat I wanted to talk about all morning

(35:51):
because only because I plan on takingninety five in this general area Connecticut next
weekend, and I think Piza's too, is that a truck filled with eight
five hundred gallons of fuel caught fireunder a bridge on ninety five in Norwa,
Connecticut and the bridge melted, andso it has to be replaced.
That's a major thoroughfare, correct,Yeah, right after that's the next biggest

(36:16):
one. And it's so close tothe city New York City at this point
that you know, yeah, andso they're gonna have I guess the one
three lane bridge will remain open,although when I was looking at the video,
uh well, I'm not even gonnatry to show it because it's like
real dull that they're so close toeach other. How did one melt in
one knot? So they're going tospend the that's closed this weekend, by

(36:37):
the way, they're going to spendthis time cleaning all of their foam off
of it. And the fuel that'sspilled and spewed everywhere. Wow, like
that can you say the word spewed? Yeah? Yes, all over that
bridge, all over the place.So, and all I'm thinking to myself
is I'll be that person driving thinking, all right, I'm gonna do it.
I get through the bottleneck onto thatbridge, and then it collapses because

(37:00):
they didn't know. But then yourfamily would be taken care of her,
don't given us. Yeah, Ijust want to get there, steep sacrifice.
Yeah, you're gonna have to goout to like Pennsylvania and come down
that way. I'm gonna to dolike eighty four, which is just like
way out of the way. No, we're going to go that. I'm
going to DC next week. Iknow you are. I'm going that way.
Take the CMO bridge. Fine,well, I'm going to be traveling

(37:22):
in the middle of the afternoon.Maybe it'll be easier now well Zeelex weather
mostly cloudy and upper fifties today andtomorrow, some rain and fifties on Sunday

much. I think maybe we'll seethe sun on Sunday, maybe for single
to maybe we'll see rain on Sunday. Yeah, Saturday afternoon. You know,

(38:02):
I was a little bummed out yesterday. I awoke from my afternoon slumber
to find Pete's text to me.And you know, I can't remember the
last time you and I teed itup together. It's been a while,
but you were nice enough to throwthe invitation out there to say, Hey,
Sunday morning, shining rock you in. Normally I'd be like, yes,
I'll drag my ass out of bit. I love that place. Sure,

(38:25):
I love Low and the boys outthere, even in the rain.
Yeah, I supposed to rain likein the afternoon, and we tee up

you up in a cart with skylepithetome I'd have to ride in the back,
so I had to turn you downbecause we have sinko to my brunch

(38:49):

I can even get nine in now, you know what I mean. We
got reservations and all this. Ilike both our choices. Actually I do

You gotta wait for that. Boston'sOnly Classic Rock Morning Show one hundred
point seven w z Alex. Themoney made any money Rady seven forty seven?
Yes, speaking of money again,nine to ten is your first of
thirteen opportunities to become a thousand heir. Are you ready to find out what's
going on in the world of you? Are swamp masta? Okay, swamp

(40:39):
masta, we'll talk away, swampMaster Pete McKenzie, let's do it.
So what's going on with Boston's OnlyClassic Rock Morning Show? On one point
seven w z Elex. Yeah,So, about nine days ago, I
was playing golf and I tried toretrieve a golf ball that was sitting on
top of a swamp. And byswamp, I mean you know, decomposing

(41:04):
leaves, blackwater, twigs, justa nature nature. And I lost my
balance in the swamp and fell backwardsand then continued on to finish the round
six holes to finish. Yeah,like a comedy. So the lore has
traversed much of Metro West. Thetopic comes up at golf courses, barber

(41:30):
shops and just it spilled over intomy round on Wednesday when my co conspirators
landed near the pond on seven atSass and my buddy says, and I
quote, oh, I got tobe careful. I don't want to pull
a Mackenzie. So the clubs didn'tgo in, which was great. But
I did have my phone in mypocket and I had my vape in the

(41:51):
other pocket, and they're both stillworking, so no rice needed, no
rice needed. They both function well. And the those are the two most
important things, aren't they really?Yeah? And I did for you most
important for most people, one veryimportant item. But not going down face
first, I think was helpful.And not panicking while I was in the
water. Honestly, if you'd gonedown face first, you probably would have

(42:13):
broke a wrist because you would haveput your hands out to brace yourself and
you might have broken something. Maybeprobably better that you fell sideways backwards,
and that would have really ruined thegolf scene. It really would have.
Yeah, plus a mouthful of swampwater. JESU dysenterio. So I went
to my barber yesterday, Craig,and it was getting my hair cut.

(42:37):
We were talking, we were shootingthe s as we do when we get
our hair cut, and it cameup, you know, it came up
that I had fallen in a swamp. But it'll always come up now,
he had a relatable story of hisown. I will never step foot in
upon again. It ain't worth it. No, it's a golf but that's

(43:00):
what I said. I have hadone of the scariest experiences at Cyprian Keys.
If you've ever played it, Ihave. It's been a while though.
If you're on one and it's allswamp, you have a landing area
plus a hill. Yeah, butit's a built for chaining wall. So
of course I hit one in thereand drive around and I'm just walking like
this, looking down, looking down, waiting for me to spot my ball.

(43:22):
But all I'm looking for is awhite ball. Yeah, and then
all of a sudden something moved.Dude, there was fifteen black snakes.
Oh ball kimmeled in. Yeah.And if I know my head and what
I was thinking, if I spotthe ball, it's only like a two
to three point jump. I wantto jump right into a pile of snakes.

(43:43):
Yea again, Now will I chasethe ball? Never again? Never
again? And by the way,you know Skylab who you played at the
top of this break, I getI get golf balls from him Lee.
He's got a guy that dives intoponds around golf horse. He's got an
he's got so I'm not even payinga dollar a golf ball. Why am

(44:07):
I going after a ball on theswamp? Let it go? Let it
go? Yeah again, there's peopleI play with it sasas. And there's
warning signs up this time of yearand all summer of warning signs as you
enter the woods, warning ticks,poison ivy. But yet I can't tell
you how many times you see peoplegoing in there to hunt for balls.
Yeah, it's not worth it.It isn't worth it. I taught you

(44:28):
know, the Quirk brothers, theyown Whaland Country Club, And that's where
this incident took place. For meand twe on the twelfth hole, between
the twelfth and fifth hole, Yeah, that pond right there. But they
were telling me that a couple ofguys, not one or two, are
missing. Never came out of thewater. Seriously, they were up to
their shoulders in the swat. Theycouldn't get out. They had to bring
in a fire truck onto the golfcourse, lay a ladder out and rescue

(44:52):
these That's because when you go upto the gunk up to your shins and
your knees, it's hard to getanything out of there, especially because you're
trying to keep your shoe. AndI've watched people get stuck in water with
that. And when I see people, I mean my husband right a panic
look on his face. He jumpsup the back of the boat thinking it
was like sand, and he wentdown to his knees in mock and he

(45:13):
looked at me and he goes,I'm stuck. Then I can picture him
saying, and then physics took overbecause I drink himself back from the ladder
right onto the boat. I feelworse for the first responders that had to
deal with the smell of pulling somebodyout of that swamp. It's terrible.
I bet you had a stink onyou for a little while. It looks
like I walked out of a sewer. It was awful. Yeah, there's

(45:36):
a windy day, though nobody couldsmell me. H wind exactly? You
ready to get up wind of?Pete McKenzie or should I say you are
swamp master? Okay, swamp fromthe planet Fitness you see Alex Studios.
Now, thanks for making that partof your morning idiot. Great story,

(46:00):
one hundred point seven WCLX Bosson.I mean, it's a Friday. It's
miserable out there. I was justtalking to Pete off air. I've got
like ten things I have to keeptrack of. H this weekend. My
husband is going to be somewhere else, and the kids have decided that this
is the busiest weekend of their lives. So, uh, soccer mom,

(46:21):
and yet none of it's soccer.But it's just so funny. So I'm
trying to keep all of that inmy mind. But I'm like, you
know what, it's still Friday.We haven't done this in forever because you
know, most of the time,I'm just not feeling good to do it,
but it would do a feel goodFriday only because you know, why
not send everybody into the weekend withsome fun feelings. Pete, it's a
feel good Friday, Dode. I, that's what I think. It's funnier

(46:51):
that Pete's going do. You shouldnot stress out about it. You don't
have to find it. It's okay, it's been so long since we've been
able to use that. I know, I know. The headline on CBB
as Boston officers surprised nine to oneone caller with not what you're thinking,
Hey, birthday serenade and a gift. And that's so it was a nine
to one one call. It wasa wellness check. Uh. And it

(47:14):
turns out that upon reviewing the notes, the police officers found that the caller
was simply seeking someone to sing himhappy birthday. And this wasn't a frivolous
like, you know, let's gothese good common and sing it. This
was a person who didn't, youknow, necessarily realize that nine to one
one calls are for emergencies and sure, and this was an emergency to this

(47:34):
person. It was a good breakfrom the normal calls we get. Everyone
has one birthday, so everyone decidedto feel special on that one day.
On our way there, we decided, you know, you can't show up
someone's house empty handed. My motherraised me right. It made me happy.
I thought it was my birthday.It was cool to see that reaction.
I mean, this was a small, small example of a lot of
things that other officers do and notthe bases that are just great that don't
get the airtime that I'm getting rightnow. You just don't believe in other

(47:55):
parts of the city there's a lotof good work being done and don't get
to say recognitions. Yeah, theysaid, we didn't believe it. At
first, we thought it was ajoke. So once we verified it actually
was his birthday, we said,well, everyone has one birthday and that
was the beginning of that one cuta nice move. Good for them.
That was super awesome birthday too,nothing all day, more than I could

(48:22):
have asked for. It's too badthe cops didn't say, you need anything
else now, and they could haveanswered, well, you know what tomorrow
is. You know what we doneed to say and I'm and the officer
didn't say it. Do not callnine one one to have them sing you
happy birthday now? This was onecase. This is done. They did
something nice. Don't take it careall right? Is that how we're following

(48:43):
that up? The one other questionI asked this morning, or maybe this
is the only question earlier, Iasked, are we Karen reading wrong?
And the reason I say that andlike it's an action now Karen reading is
because other stations in our cluster theyhave spent whole mornings taking call from people
talking about their feelings about Karen Reidand then what they think and whatever is

(49:06):
going on. And the three ofus we have such a basic knowledge of
the case it almost verges on ignorance, and happily ignorant, by the way,
so we don't talk about it toomuch except you know, the hey,
Karen Reid's in court, blah blahblah. And then I said earlier
that I'm so glad I am nota witness in this trial or really any

(49:28):
trial so far in my life,because I can't remember what you two said
five minutes ago. I can't rememberhow we worded the beginning of this break
right, right, recall is notthere right, let alone being able to
be a witness in a trial whereI can tell you what someone said in
the middle of the morning or thenight later, right exactly, and they

(49:49):
had a traumatic experience to the wholesituation, stressful situation. It's a murder,
right, or at least they thinkit's a murder. Well, I
got one person to reach out to, which makes me feel better that we
aren't Karen reading wrong if it's onlyone right, What you guys are talking
about right now is precisely the reasonwhy eyewitness testimony in court is not reliable.

(50:13):
It is not hell. Half thetime people don't even remember what color
something is when they see it,never mind what somebody said for being them.
Yeah, like Kenny, I canonly see your hat right now,
lovely jaws hat that you're wearing.You, I have no idea what color
your shirt is. Not only haveI been around you all morning, I
walk to the bathroom with you justa couple of minutes ago, and I

(50:34):
can't, for the life of meremember if you're wearing a T shirt,
a sweatshirt, anything. I don'tremember. I'm wearing a tank top with
barbecue stains. Well, now Isee you just came over the top.
I see it's blue, but Ihad no I couldn't tell you what he
was wearing. On the other hand, I can't see your feet right now
yet. I know your shoes arevery colorful. Oh yeah, really cool,
and I haven't worn them until today, right Yeah on shoes, yes,

(50:58):
well they're my hiking running shoes,Pete. She's trying to provide light
and heat of which we're not gettingfrom the sun right now. I appreciate
it. Yeah, so anyway thatmakes sense to me. I mean,
witness again, I can't remember anything. Yeah, that's all the Karen reading
we will be doing for the morning. But I've got a little piece of
breaking news if you like. Isit good? I would think so.

(51:22):
For beefstick enthusiasts, beef beefstick,Okay, I just went down to the
kitchenette in search of some creamers,which we'll get into a little bit.
A beefstick. There's a station inthis building that's hoarding creamers. I do
know, I do now after myinvestigative research. But in the kitchenette,
I noticed in our vending machine there'sa jack Linx beefstick that is precariously hanging

(51:46):
by its hook. And I'm justthinking, one little, one little elbow
to the side of the machine thatSucker is going to drop the beefstick.
Well, I think Beefstick is goingto be the title the first romance novel
Harlequinn Beefstick. It's got to beaggressive. It can't be like lighthearted either,

(52:07):
you know. Z Lex weather mostlycloudy and upper fifties today and tomorrow
summrain and fifties on Sunday, fortyseven degrees. In Boston, I'm Heather
Ford on one hundred point seven wZLX, one hundred point seven wz LX,
part of the Class of twenty twentyfour, the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame, Your Foreigner, Boston'sonly classic rock morning show. They're not

(52:29):
hanging them up just yet. They'reon the road this summer with sticks.
Talk about two arena rock legends comingto the Exfinity Center in August here A
twenty one, Kenny Young, HeatherFord, Pete McKenzie on this Friday.
Yeah, we saw this story.Kenny and I are both like, what
this is a realtor down in Florida. She's selling a home, but she

(52:51):
didn't realize that this home had anextra room to it. And one of
the first things I said off thebat was, there's a there's basements,
and don't know they had basements.The weirdest thing about this door, it
was an extra room, as ina basement, was the extra room.
Ye I mean Florida didn't really haveunderground railroads, so it wasn't like that,
like a room that was behind somebookshelves right right. But I just

(53:15):
know that from experience in Oklahoma,we didn't have basements either. Water table
too high, too high, right, So this was weird. So she
takes us on a tour here.Yeah, as she's doing her listing for
this home. I'm not gonna lie. And all the years have been so
in real estate, I've never hadsomething quite like this come up. I
opened up to what I thought wasa closet door in a bedroom at the
back of the house, and thisdoor was in the next section. It

(53:39):
is an iron door with a swinginglatch that leads down into an underground room
that is all concrete block. Theoriginal house was nineteen fifty eight. This
structure definitely does not seem to bepost nineteen fifty eight. I would assume
that they did this somewhat more recently. Once you get down the stairs,

(54:04):
which the other thing that's funky is. We don't have a lot of basements
in Florida. It's not typical.So we're going down into what could only
be described as a basement, andjust give me a little bit of pause.
I wanted to know what you guysthink. Would you guys want to
hang out in this room? Whatdo you think this room was used for?
Oh? I think I know whatthat was used for, which this

(54:25):
calls for a sexy party. Yeah, sex dungeon. I think it was
a sex dungeon. Yeah, itdidn't have really the setup to hold somebody
captive. No, and it didn't. It didn't look it was a well
lit I mean it didn't scream sex. Yeah it was, but it was
well lit, and there was ahefty bean bag and chair in one of

(54:46):
the corners. It was a lovelythrow rug, which really tied the whole
room together. So I was Idon't think it was a human containment basement.
However, that wrought iron gate behindthe door in the bedroom was susp
at everything. Someone who put itin there was like, let's do this
so that no one can guess whatthis room was really for. Right,

(55:07):
Let's make it really sinister looking andthen we'll just leave it. When we
moved into our house twenty years ago. I went up into the attic and
the people before they say, cleanedthe house out pretty much left a few
things behind, right, But upin the attic at the top of this
drop down ladder was this box shapething Like I thought there was going to
be like a pipe in there orsomething to protect it, like a coffin.

(55:29):
Yeah, without a lid though,just an open top box. But
it was elongated. It was anarrow and inside that little area. And
I had my daughter up there withme, she was like twelve at the
time. Was this baby doll?Like a dirty baby doll? Ew And
Samantha would never go back up intothe attic And I hope you removed it

(55:51):
and burned it, right? Well, yeah, we took it. Yeah,
we took it out and we didn'tleave it there. No, No,
I got rid of that. Buthow do you discard a baby doll?
Like and don't look like you're beingweird? Do you just put in
a garbage bag? Do you feelweird putting a baby doll in the You
mix it in with a trash likeI do with the paint cans. Yeah,
and dead squirrel and dead squirrels.Right, yeah, dead square squirrel.
Put on rubber gloves and you usetong Sure. I think that's pretty

(56:13):
easy. We lived at so manyhomes when we were looking for houses,
in all the three different places wedid, and I will tell you there
were some homes I went and Icouldn't believe people thought this was appropriate to
a show. But the one thatwas the worst was when they said there's
a basement. They go and it'snot. They said it was like a
crawl space, but also a basement. We walked down the stairs and as
we got to the bottom, Irealized that it really was only four feet

(56:36):
high and it was just a footof water. Oh there was a foot
of water at the bottom. Wow. And I just thought to myself,
why even why would you let mesee this? Right? Do you want
mosquitoes? Because that's how you getmosquitoes. It was like, what do
you think this is an indoor poolshow? We left yeah quickly, yeah,
yeah, I can't top that.I remember looking at some some ranch

(56:58):
style homes with base mencent I gotto the bottom of one flight of stairs
and there was no more stairs.The stairs ran out, and then the
concrete flooring of this ranch basement wasall crumbled, as if someone went down
there with a jackhammer and just neverfinished the job. And I'm not making
this up. There was one swingingdim light bulb, exposed light bulbs swinging

(57:21):
in this and I turned around andI got the hell out of it,
and probably happened because that was alsocovered in water. It could have been,
and there could have been water andbaby dolls floating in it. It
was not the sex dungeon I waslooking for. Needless to say, we
didn't buy that house. Boston's onlyclassic rock morning show, one hundred point

you're aware of this, but anothermade up Internet holiday was yesterday. It
was National Ukulele Day. If youwant to well, the little four strings,
very portable, very easy to playfor some. But it's that alternate

(58:05):
tuning that screws me up because mywhat was that? That was the computer
over here? Uh yeah, Iuh, for some reason, you know,
I play guitar and that's in astandard tuning, and O I dabble
in alternate tunings. The ukulele hasa very specific tuning to it, at
least one that I know about.And it's uh. I didn't know that
my muscle memory, just as youhave to form chords in a whole different

(58:27):
way. So I'm terrible at ukulele, although the wife gave me one for
Christmas. It's funny. I gavemy wife one for her birthday three four
years ago, as she picked itup and tried to learn it. No,
yeah, it's white, it's nice. Does that have a hula girl
on it? Oh, it's justa nice ukulele that she said I want
to play someday, and I'm said, right, happy birthday. Well,

dot com widowsunac dot com. They'realso on social media again. It's out

Bissel. Meanwhile, we are justtwenty minutes away now from your first thousand
dollars bribe. Listen, it's KennyYoung, Pete, Mackenzie, Heatherford.

(01:05:18):
Another huge weekend of sport, professionalsport. And I hate to say it,
but we got another Ruins game thisweekend. Yeah, I hate to
say it. I hate to sayI wasn't really nervous last night watching the
game. I was never like anticipatinga goal. I just wasn't. Well,

(01:05:38):
Pete, I'm glad you brought thatup, because it's hard to score
goals when you have two shots onnet in thirty minutes. That's what the
Bruins did last night. I meanthey started, you know, working the
net a little bit, but Ijust never felt like they were gonna get
past Wall. I just didn't.Yeah, the way the Toronto was stacking
the net, they had their defendersdown by the net, just couldn't figure

(01:06:00):
it out. Had the B's ontheir heels again like they did in Game
five this past Monday. So we'llsee what happens on tomorrow night when the
game comes back to the garden forgame seven here, but you had sent
me this piece of Montgomery after thegame doing a very Unbelicheckian thing. Yeah,
well, he actually called out hisstars, which you never rarely hear

(01:06:26):
coach do that. But Montgomery,if you heard him before game six,
he was still pissed about Game fiveand he said that. So now they
lose game six, Now he's callingpeople out. Your best players need to
be your best players this time here. I think the effort is tremendous.
They need to come through with somebig time plays and big time moments.
I think Marshaw has done that inthe series. Boston needs to step up.

(01:06:49):
Pasta needs to step up. Yeah, is the Eastern European Pasta.
I don't know. He's not American. He's not Canadian. In the rice
check though, right, So that'swhat I mean. So he maybe that's
the kind of thing he needs.He needs to be told, you know,
you're not doing it. Just whathe was not strong on the puck

(01:07:10):
off balance when he had the Puck'sjust not in it, No, not
in it. And you know theother sad part for me was I don't
I have YouTube TV now, soI don't get Nesson, and so I
wasn't watching Jack's last game, whichwas kind of disappointed. I got to
watch Gorman's last game, you know, because Comcast is part of YouTube,
but Nesson isn't. Yeah, wegot Jack sign off here at the end

(01:07:33):
of the telecast and try not tobe distracted as I was from the sound
of the celebrating Scotia Bank Arena behindhim. Has been a thrill of a
lifetime. I want to thank everyemployee at Nesson, especially our production team.
Most of all, I want tothank my broadcast partner, Andy Brickley.

(01:07:59):
You're the brother I've never had untilI started working with you. It's
been a joy ride for nineteen years, and this is my goodbye. So
long everybody. Long live the BostonBruins. Oh I do love him,
I do? Yeah, can younot dumb? Sorry? One of the

(01:08:21):
things he said, the next timeyou'll see me, I'll be sitting down
in the seats behind me, amongstyou. It'll be the closest he's ever
been to the ice. He's alwaysso far up. I brick had a
nice response to that. I hadfour brothers, but now I had fun,
absolute pleasure working with you. Greatcall again tonight, tremendous finish.

(01:08:41):
You know, it would have beenstorybook had they won Game five at home
to go out in that in thatfashion for you personally, and given the
situation with this series, it mighthave been even more storybook had we been
able to broadcast game So yeah,and that game's gotten bumped nationally now,
so the beast There no other gameseven? Is that? Why are there
any others? Or is this thelongest one? I think this might be

(01:09:03):
a question. Yeah, sure,you said that A bunch of them ended
early, like not early, butfive or last Yeah, I know it
was the only game last night,So there you go. Well, hopefully
we get Sean McDonough on the call. He does a good job. He
does, he does a good job. Does Celtics are still waiting to find
out their opponent in Round two ofthe playoffs. So tonight it's Magic Calves
in Cleveland, No in Orlando,Okay, m hmm. Yeah, and

(01:09:27):
then Game seven, I guess wouldbe Sunday. But if they if the
Calves win tonight, then I'm notsure when that series would start Monday maybe,
yeah, at the earliest. Ithink they'd give them a couple of
days off with Yeah, so Celticssit and wait along with the Pacers who
won. Last night Pacers beat theBucks. Did I read that correctly?
You did? Yeah? The numberthree seed out? Yeah? Was a

(01:09:49):
Bucks player throwing a ball at Pacersfans. That was the only thing I
the only headline I saw this morning. Oh, not only did they lose,
but one of the Bucks players waslike throwing basketball at Pacer fans and
I was like, that's not real. I think that was Patrick Beverly.
Ok. I think he's the onethat hummed a ball into the crowd after
the game. I don't know whatwas said. I mean, obviously he's

(01:10:11):
upset. H he's upset that hegets to go sit on the beach,
you know, this weekend. Buthe will have a fine of twenty five
thousand dollars to pay. Yeah,who knows. Hopefully it didn't hit anybody
out of the crowd. And lastly, on our little sports rap here,
I watched another getaway game yesterday andanother solid effort by the Socks starting rotation
as they were wrapping up the serieswith the Giants, but alas they would

(01:10:33):
go on to lose three to one. Bullpen blew it away. My dude,
Boozer is the one that gave upthe runs. Boozer, Yeah,
late in the game there, SoSocks now have to go out into enemy
territory. And I say that notNew York but Minnesota, because Pete,
you brought up a fun fact aboutthe Twins. Yeah, the Twins are
on a ten game winning streak.They won ten in a row. Only

(01:10:55):
I paid attention to the Minnesota Twins. Well, I do, because my
guardians are in that division. You. I'm like, where'd they come from?
Are they out there? And Twins? They catapulted up in the Central
Division, So they'll kick off theirweekend series tonight out there, So go
Socks. Meanwhile, nine twenty sixhere and if you missed out at nine
ten, don't worry. More thousanddollars bribes sprinkled in every hour on the

(01:11:15):
tent oh Man listener, I wishyou were in studio for that. It's

nine on this Friday had the FordPete McKenzie singing in unison perfect harmony right
there with the end of that ninefig good Friday. Oh my voice is
gone. See how that happens,Well, they que it up again,

(01:11:36):
they do another song after that.I don't know how they do that,
Pete. If you watch the bonJovi docu series on Hulu Thank You good
Night, you would see the lengthsthat JBJ went to to try to restore
his voice prior to getting an eventualsurgery. He was using this infrared laser
treatment, like multiple times a day. He would stand in front of these

(01:11:59):
lasers that he had in his apartment, in his place, and they were
they were trying to loosen up thevocal cords and everything. You wouldn't believe
the regimen this guy had to dojust to do that twenty twenty two tour.
It's crazy. So hey, justsomething to think about. Undred million
fans. Yeah, I don't everwant to think about that ever again.
Actually kind of freaks me out.You can think about this tomorrow May the

(01:12:21):
fourth. Sure, Star Wars fanswill be posting all kinds of memes all
day on your social media. I'msure I'll get into the game at some
point. Maybe you'll dress up yourpug again as Yoda. I don't have
that outfit anymore, and that onlyfit him when he was a puppy.
Oh yeah, it was a tank. It was like a chihuahua sized outfit.
And he's a pug. He's thick, he's staunch, he's think now.
