other this morning and inviting you tojoin the show on this Friday morning,
(01:49):
October twentieth, twenty twenty three.My name is Pete McKenzie. And now
you want, and now you're why, and now you why, and now
you why. I want to knowwhen I'm in good shape. Yeah,
I need you to be in goodshape today, Pete. Yeah, those
were fireball days, back watchings,playoff games late and then coming into work.
I love it. Man. Wesave everything, you know, Yes,
(02:12):
we do. Archives is what wecall it. Kenny Young is well,
he's our executive producer. He's runningthe board like Kevin usually does.
I'm providing headlines with Heather. She'sgot some contesting to tell you about as
we head into the weekend here.But let's get to brass tacks here.
Excuse me, I must go andrelieve myself. Not yet. No,
(02:34):
that's gonna have to wait. Really, there's no time for that, Kenny.
You won't have any time for that. Six one seven ninety three one
one double oh seven our number fivethirty club members. Hi, you doing
Texas show WZLX and your message sendthat to us at seven oh four to
seven. Oh you can leave ussome talkback features on the iHeartRadio app.
You click on that red microphone,you say something into it and HiT's end
(02:57):
and we get your message. Rememberto down that iHeartRadio app. It's a
nice way to listen live for freefive point thirty two fifty one degrees.
So when I got to work today, I went upstairs, you know,
three floors and with my stuff,and I'd forgotten my headsets. It's a
requirement in radio, yeah, Ihave to have your headsets, like the
(03:19):
one piece of equipment we need.So I went back down to the truck
and that's where I met Kenny.He was arriving just a few minutes after
I got here. And the firsttime though Kenny, I went up the
elevator. I had an idea foran invention. I don't think it's been
done yet. So I got onthe elevator the first time, right farted,
of course. Yeah. And thenwhen I hit the button, I
(03:40):
hit the wrong button. The floor, well the wrong floor, and it
was below my floor. So Ihad to stop. And I think,
you know, stupid morning thought.I'm thinking, why can't I just hit
that button again and turn it off? Now? Why? Why isn't there
you know what I mean? Ifyou hit the button a second time,
(04:01):
it turns it out, you're lockedin here, You're locked in. You
got to stop it too when youdon't have to. Why cancel feature?
A cancel feature? Yeah? Haveyou known any elevator to have that?
No? But you know what Ithink elevators should evolve to is touch screens
instead of the mechanical old school buttons. For that very reason. Yeah,
(04:24):
if you had some sort of alittle circuit board in there right where you
could touch screen your floor, surethere could be a cancel feature, like
you cancel a floor if you hitthe wrong button. Yeah, I agree
with you. We all make mistakes. Sure, you know, it's a
simple fix. We all fart anelevators. We want to get off of
them as quickly as possible. Whenyou step into an elevator, is that
the first thing you do is eitherfart yourself or smell for one. My
(04:46):
problem with elevators, I've said thisfor decades, is when you get in,
especially with strangers, more often thannot, you never know where to
look because there's mirrors all around.It's so awkward. It's like when people
sing you happy birthday, where doyou look? I don't know where to
look right. It's just an awkward, uncomfortable situation. Well, I learned
a long time ago, Kenny.Anytime I'm in a crowd, my dad
(05:10):
always My dad told me this whenI had to do it like a public
speaking thing and I didn't want todo it, and he said, just
look at their foreheads. The worstthing you can do is look at him
in the eye. You look attheir foreheads. They think that you're looking
them in the eye, like I'mlooking at your forehead. I'm looking at
your forehead right now. Yeah,see it looks like you're looking at me.
Okay, right, Nick, cool, Okay, well you do it
(05:30):
again. Okay, you're looking atmy forehead. Yeah, it looks like
you're looking at it, right,it's your forehead that looking at me like
I owe you money. So theeyes are crossed a little bit. Yeah,
yeah, So I do have somedetails coming up. Kenny on Winston,
my pup, who was in studioall day yesterday. He was it
was so nice having an in studioguest, a visitor. Yeah, I'll
(05:53):
mention. I'll talk about that ina few minutes. I'm five fifty five
or so with the five thirty clubmembers. But the reason I popped into
my head was because I said crosseyed. The optometrist for Winston was cross
eye. Oh isn't that weird?That is weird. I mean that seems
like a conflict of interest for yourjob. Right. I'm not making fun
(06:15):
of the person, No, notat all. I mean God made them,
but like, and once in awhile her it would straighten out,
you know, the eyes would straightenout. But for the most part,
was it was she cock eyed orwhat? Did you have a lazy eye?
I think you could call it cockeyed? Okay, yeah, she
was kind and it wasn't the lazyeye that was floating right. No,
it wasn't a floater. Yeah,it was. It would just go cross
(06:35):
eyed and then it would straighten outfrom time to time mostly cross eyed.
Yeah, and doing that job,you would want a uh somebody with twenty
twenty Yeah, I mean so.Uh AnyWho, Here we are on a
Friday, just Kenny and I onceagain, Uh what are there are several
big stories? Is it going tobe a feel good Friday? What can
what can you tell me? Ithink things are shaping up. I thought
(06:58):
it was going to be a soso Friday today. I think after further
research. You know, I wasgoing over the Edward Armureau Award winning news
desk items today and I think Ithink we're gonna have a full blown feel
good Friday so much to the pointPete, yeah, we may have a
feel good story in each hour,six, seven, and eight o'clock.
No kidding, I'm just telling youwhat's what? And you know that's that's
(07:23):
great news because it's certainly not afeel good Friday all around the world.
That is true, as we wellknow so, but we try to keep
it a feel good Friday emanating fromthis signal. That's right, there's a
lots are going on in the worldfrom a global perspective in our job here
is to entertain and give you ussome reprieve. Certainly certain at that,
I said that almost like an awardwinning Yes, we did it almost so
(07:46):
well. Expect four hours of thatcoming up. Yeah, all right,
we're gonna be We're gonna make youfeel good, just the two of us,
Yes, sir, it's Carlson,mackenzie and Heather along with Kenny Young.
But just mackenzie and Kenny to dayfive thirty eight. It's fifty one
degrees in Boston. If you'll excuseme, now, excuse me, I
was going to relieve myself Boston's ClassicRock one hundred point seven WZLX Carlson,
(08:11):
McKenzie and Heather along with Kenny Young, our producer, five forty two,
fifty one degrees in Boston. Bruinskicked off a roach boy. They're on
their way to the President's Cup,aren't we. Oh look out? Yeah,
three one winners last night in SanJose. Nice way to kick off
the road trip. Huh, wellit is. Yeah, I'm Randa.
(08:33):
The Sharks haven't won a game yet, but I got a couple more to
play in California over the weekend.Uh and I can't. This is unbelievable.
I had no idea because San Josehas had a pretty decent team over
the years. By the way,three to one the final yesterday, reems
Dyke, Poster, Knock, Marshannollscored real quick. Reemsdyke didn't. He
(08:54):
had two power play goals last weekend, Remember the Predators games he had.
He's off, He's hot this week. Yes, he is. The San
Jose Sharks, who they've had acompetitive team for as long, almost as
long as I can remember. Imean, I know they've been kind of
crappy the last year or two.Yeah, have you did you realize the
(09:16):
San Jose Sharks have lost twelve straightgames, that losses to our Boston Bruins.
No way, twelve twelve consecutive lossesto the beat No way. That's
nuts. That is nuts. Theother thing I thought was pretty wild about
(09:37):
this game last night was the SanJose Sharks for their first four games of
the season, they played at home. They lost all four money, they
lost all four of those games.Well it wasn't one on draw. I
think one was a tie, butso they got it one point. I
only know that because I just Ijust clicked on the box score. Just
now. Yes, they got onepoint with those first four games they lost
(09:58):
in overtime. I mean, howI love here to start your season four
games at home and you can't winone of them, not one of them.
And they're the first team in NHLhistory. Another fun fact for you,
they are the first team in NHLhistory, the San Jose Sharks to
play their first four games not onlyat home, but against all four division
winners. I used to love goingto Bruins games, Kenny. I haven't
(10:24):
been in about three years. Me. I'm bomb. I've wanted to,
you know, I just haven't hadthe opportunity. I guess, yeah,
it's it's uh. I think it'sthe advancement of high def TV that's kept
me away from going to Bruins gamesbecause hockey used to be really hard to
watch on television, hard to behard and hard to follow the puck.
(10:46):
Okay, and high def. Ijust I enjoy it so much with a
big screen, high def sitting athome. I used to be one of
those guys that needed needed the crowd. I needed to be in the crowd.
I thrived on it. But Ijust I don't know, it's warned
me, I'm not that guy anymore. M So. I mean I grew
(11:07):
up listening to Fred Cusick called theBruins games on TV thirty eight, and
it was like it was something mydad and my brothers and I like bonded
over very very very early age.Yeah, I was watching those games.
It was like it was nothing likeit. And then you know, later
on Turk Derek Sanderson came in withcolor and he was just all for like
the eighties. He was so entertainingto listen to. You know what I
(11:28):
mean, Well, I get it, I get it at all. And
now, like you say, withTVs just being so clear and so crisp
and like, you know, theresolutions nuts, you see everything now.
Oh absolutely. And you mentioned theseold these old announcers. I mean you
look back on Boston sports announcers.They were classics. I mean there were
there were gems. Would you calltoday's announcers for the four teams gems?
(11:54):
I mean I would put Grandy inthere. He's very good, Sean,
Grandy's good. Yeah. Aside fromthat, I struggle with today's Boston sports
play by play guys. It's almostlike some new bands, right, I
look at the same thing. Iknow exactly what you're talking about. You're
like, you say, who inanother twenty or thirty years are we still
(12:15):
going to be talking about? Rightas far as like new commentators concerned,
just like new bands? Yeah,how many of these new bands are still
going to be around? Are yougonna remember Dave O'Brien in twenty years?
He's just not memorable to me.I don't know, like Jil Santo's.
Oh, legendary. See that's christand Terry. Yeah, legendary. All
right. So the Bruins will havea couple of more games over the weekend.
(12:35):
What have they got the Kings tomorrownight? I think it's the Kings?
And who's the other California team?Shoot? I forget so I think
they're in California the whole weekend,aren't they? Thinks? Geez, Now
you've got to make me look upexact and I got it right here.
You got to schedule, don't forgetabout the Ducks. Don't sleep I don't
(12:58):
sleep on those annah. I'm ducks, all right. I think that's who
it is on Sunday. That's onSunday. So wait, they're gonna go
back to backs this week? Saturdayand Sunday. They got the Kings tomorrow
night, and then yeah, theDucks on Sunday. All right, keep
it going, bees, and getto four. They're not back until next
Thursday. They're not home until nextThursday, by the way. All right,
(13:18):
yeah, good, well they're goinggood. They're off to a good
start. Bees. Yes, sir, five forty seven fifty one degrees in
Boston, Boston, who morning show. There we go. There's only two
of us. We're talk at thesame time. Be a professional, yes,
all right, just be a prefectorI've gotta take the cues better,
(13:39):
I really do. Hi there,Carls McKenzie and Heather. Of course,
Kenny Young is here. Heather andKevin are out. So Kevin is having
a long weekend in Ohio. Hissister had a birthday. He stayed with
his brother. Actually last night hestayed in Scranton. Wilkesbury. I think
it's Welkesbury, isn't it. I'vealways said wilkes Bar, But then again,
I've never spent much time I'm inthe area. Okay, Yeah,
(14:01):
I think you're right though. Ithink it's Wilkesbury. Yeah, And then
and then he's off to Ohio andthen Heather is returning from her vacation come
Monday, which was a staycation.She was entertaining her folks for a good
part of this week. Nice,I can't remember the quick quickly. On
that note, I can't remember thelast time we did a staycation where we
were like, I mean, I'vedone long weekends at home where you just
(14:22):
get stuff done around the house.Yeah, but I've never I can't remember
the last time we spent a wholeweek at home. I'd love to do
it. Yeah, I haven't doneit, No, because I mean,
they're so far and few between.You want to take advantage of those and
can go somewhere. But when youhave family members that are older, you
know, I mean, we spenta lot of our vacations over the years,
Kenny just going to Ohio hanging withhanging with the elderly, and I
(14:43):
go to Florida and other states tovisit your family. So sure I get
it. Yeah. By the way, thanks for all of the attacks and
the emails and reaching out on socialmedia about Winston. My dad who was
in studio. Yesterday we had togo up to Wooburn to see us secialists
an optometrist, a canine optometrist,if you will, and Winston suffered a
(15:05):
couple of eyelid cuts lacerations during anattack from another dog named Ralphie, whose
owner is Amy and you know whoyou are. They're not stepping forward to
cover any of the medical costs,which do the right thing, yeah,
and do the right thing. Yeah, and those medical costs amounted to about
(15:26):
six hundred and fifty bucks. Soare those as the owners of that dog.
Are they claiming that it was negligenceon the part of the kennel.
They're claiming that they're claiming that theirdog. They're not taking accountability. Rather,
they're not taking accountability, claiming alittle negligence on the part of the
kennel, as well as the factthat the incident occurred in a playgroup.
(15:48):
So how can you single out ourdog while they well, you're the dog
that attacked. Yeah, I meanit was it was clear to whoever was
in the kennel that Ralphie attacked.You know, our dog so healthy,
you know, they're not going todo the right thing. And that's fine
because Winston does not need surgery,thankfully, we found that out yesterday.
He's healing perfectly. No more medication, no more ICEAF. Things are looking
(16:12):
up for him. By the way, the five thirty club members is at
Kenny checking in yesterday. Kevin andI were talking about being in the movie
Checkout with Bert Young, who passedaway this week, and the listener says,
you guys got me when Kevin saidthat you guys were in the Checkout
movie, well done, No,we really were. Well, somebody sent
me a screenshot from IMDb, butit was not your pictures. But you
(16:36):
and Kevin were credited as Condom guysone and two, right, so they
misspelled Kevin's last name, they see, and they used a weird picture of
both of either of you. Wasn'teven you guys, right, so we
are in the movie. I orderedthe movie. I went online. I
ordered the movie from Amazon. Iwas so excited thirty one dollars Kenny for
a DVD Holy smoke of the movieCheckout from two thousand and two. And
(16:59):
then, you know, I didit in such haste yesterday because it said
last copy. So a twenty oneyear old movie on DVD cost you thirty
bucks, right, wow? Andit's a B movie for crying out loud?
Well, you know, what thismeans, You're gonna have to grab
a bottle of whiskey and some snacksand watch that thing. Oh movie night.
Now here's the catch. So Istart looking at the details of my
(17:19):
order on Amazon format DVD playback regiontwo. Have you ever seen this before?
Playback region two? This will notplay on most DVD players sold in
the United States. And I'm thinkingof myself, well, what is playback
region two means? So I lookedinto that further. Some encoding digitally that
(17:42):
our machines can't process. Correct,It isn't encoding so standard DVDs Region one
US, US territories, Canada andBermuda, Region two Japan, Europe,
South Africa, Egypt, and theMiddle East. Well that's surprising only because
I would say the majority already ofDVD and Blu ray players come from those
(18:03):
regions. In region two. Imean, I'm just stating facts here.
So there's there's six regions. Whywe take I don't know machines that are
made over there. We're going tofind out, yeah, we are.
So here's what's going to happen WhenI get the dv I'll try on my
machine. Do you have a DVDplayer hooked up you. Yeah. In
fact, I got a spare Ican bring in. Okay, So if
(18:25):
it doesn't work in my region ofFramingham, I'll come to your region,
and I think I might have twowe can try, right, all right,
Kenny, what is coming up here? Well, I'll tell you what.
We got pipe bombs or it's somethingthat was labeled pipe bombs found at
a construction site up in Newburyport.We've got a car that followed its GPS
right into a trash compactor. Anindustrial trash compactor was the latest to swallow
(18:49):
up a vehicle due to GPS andpeople looking at their screens instead of the
road. Is that like available parkingor something. Well, we'll get into
it just a bit here. Plus, I have our first, our first
feel good Friday of the of theday coming up. Excellent, we'll get
to it right after this, allright, six o four fifty one degrees
at Boston's Classic Rock from a PlanetFitness WCLX Studios. Now, thanks for
(19:14):
making us part of your morning headlineswith Heather great store, Thank god one
X boding. Well, let's geta young and for the staycationing Heather forward
and uh hey, right out ofthe Gates. Let's go to the talkback
feature here out of the open.So you guys have that opener that says
headlines with Heather next, How difficultwould it be to make up an alternative
(19:37):
when she's not there, that saysheadlines with someone other than Heather next?
Quary minds want to know? Ah, you know what, thanks for that,
dude. You wouldn't believe how difficultthat would be. Well, it's
not difficult so much. Read it'sjust time consuming, all right. There's
a lot on the plate, there'sa lot of balls in the air,
all right, But you don't cometo think of it, Pete, I
(20:00):
think I did make one up likea year or two ago when she was
out and it was me doing it, and it was like it was a
parody of like you know, DD D like a hard hitting news thing.
I'm gonna see if I can findit. Make sure that guy's listening
at seven o'clock. I'll see ifI can find it for you perfectly,
all right. Meanwhile, there's alot to get to today, and yes,
(20:21):
we will wrap this up with afeel good Friday, So that should
be a hook for you to stickaround. Let's take you up to Newburyport,
where authorities believe several explosive devices werefound in a Newburyport home that was
under construction. Yesterday afternoon, theygot a call of a suspicious device found
inside a place at Purchase Street,and when they got there, the contractors
that were working on the house saidthey found a box that was labeled pipe
(20:45):
bombs. Okay, behind a wall. Okay, so somebody hid them there
for the time being. Right,nobody was going to wreck this construction site
for insurance money, were they not? Now with a label on the box?
Right? Well, well, immediatelywhen they got the call, bomb
squad is called in. That's youknow, it goes without saying. They
(21:06):
said they found four pipe bombs inthat box. See, at first I
thought this was like a hoax.You know when people take like plastic skeletons
and they'll put them in the wallsof a house. Yes, so that
you know, twenty thirty years downthe road, the new homeowners will get
a surprise. Oh my god,So I thought maybe this was something like
that. No, it's not thecase. Four pipe bombs were found in
the box, moved out to theback porch, and they had to perform
(21:29):
the X ray diagnostics on them.They were inconclusive, so they weren't sure
whether or not they were in factan explosive device, so they did secure
and transport them to a you know, an incinerator to a further inspection.
Thankfully, no one was living inthe house at the time, but for
the contractors, you got to becrapping bricks, right, Yeah, yeah,
I mean if there's an accident,you know, I can't imagine.
(21:51):
By the way, I wouldn't evenknow what a pipe bomb is if I
saw one. Yeah, well,you have an idea some sort of a
you know, does it look likea crude cylinder of some yeah, right,
and some sort of wire three indiameter tape. I'm sure there's a
variety of pipe bombs. That's scarya Newbery report. And there's a lot
of like older historic homes up there, right, So beautiful area exactly be
(22:15):
a nice place to work if you'rea contractor. I'm just saying you don't
expect to see something like that insidea wall. Maybe old newspapers, porn
and empty liquor bottles, but notpipe bombs, you know what I mean.
Let's keep it interesting, light,I'll keep it interesting in light.
Let's go out to Metro West.Southborough police and tow truck drivers and first
responders firefighters were all called to thescene of a transfer station in Southboro yesterday
(22:38):
afternoon as a woman drove her vehicleinto an industrial trash compactor out there.
Well, I knew it was awoman. There's no way a man would
do something like that. Pete,I don't know why you would say something
like that and alienate our female listeners. I would like to know her age
first of all. I'd like toknow if the GPS is what's center in
(22:59):
there, because she had to gothrough get this. She had to drive
around the building to get into wherethis uh incinerator what this compactor was?
Right, She had to go throughchains because it's cordoned off. It's fenced
off. It's a secure area thatthey run it. They run a tight
ship in south Boro, So shehad to go through this chained area with
her car. She had to jumpan eight inch curb to get up and
(23:21):
over to the point where they throwthe stuff down into the compactor. That's
not going to do the bottom ofyour car any good. Oh, somebody
else was stuck in the compactor too. When she drove into it. It
was yeah, I think we allremember. I had to remember. I
remember, thank god for C threePO and R two D two. But
thankfully she was not hurt. Theybrought in the toe company to get the
(23:44):
car out of there, but they'restill trying to figure out how the hell
and she got in there in thefirst place. I imagine if that car
when it landed in there, becauseit's hood down right it is, imagine
if that triggered the compactor. Right. Oh, I know, this could
have been really bad. This couldhave really bad. So scary stuff out
there, But you know, Ialways like to wrap things up on a
positive note, especially on a Fridayhere. So let's take you down to
(24:08):
Braintree, where community members gathered yesterdayto unveil the memorial in honor of a
brain Tree police officer. I sawthat this Braintree police officer is named Kit.
Kit is a four legged police officerwho was shot and killed while searching
for a suspect in June of twentytwenty one. So listen to what they
(24:30):
did. Listen to the community downBraintree. This is actually pretty cool,
beautiful memoria. Five kids got togetherafter they had done a drive through memorial
service. After Kit passed away,they did a service for him, right,
So tons of people in the communitycame out and they watched this,
you know, drive through memorial orparticipated in the drive through memorial. So
(24:51):
these kids decided they wanted to dosomething about it. We were going to
kid's drive by funeral, and wegot in the car and we thought,
why don't we make up thing tocontribute to what kid did. I hope
people who come and see the statuethink of all the sacrifices he made,
and think of all the police officersthat have died in the line of duty.
How well spoken of those Holy cow. That is like forward thinking kids.
(25:14):
So listen, it's taken them twoyears and a lot of red tape,
but these kids raised over twenty fourthousand dollars what through lemonade stands,
baked sales, cornhole tournaments, allkinds of stuff. And those same kids
were hanging out at CVS getting readyto rumble yesterday. Oh not the same
kids, not the same different kids, different kids, pete, different group,
stay focused, all right. Soyeah, yesterday at the memorial service,
(25:37):
there was just hundreds it turned upto pay their respects and to see
the statue that's now in honor ofhis beauty. It really is. Let's
hear from his handler, Officer BillyCushing, I in the community cannot thank
you guys enough of what you did. I miss and think about kid every
day. I knew that he gaveus all each time we went out,
and the truth he inspired me todo the same like hen and Kit lived
(25:59):
his life moving forward. Yeah,we got to keep moving forward. So
hey, congrats to those kids thatgot that to happen, and hey,
kudos to you officers down first respondersdown in Braintree's. That's a very cool
way to honor an important member.Yeh at the police department represents all those
right, all those canines and officers, yem pete, and that story represents
(26:19):
It's a field good I told you, you know, one more time,
a feel good frie. You knowwhat's going to happen though, is it's
a bronze statue. So what's gonnahappen is people are gonna go down,
take you know Instagram, take pictureswith it and probably rub his nose.
(26:42):
Oh yeah. Because of course,there was a similar situation of a dog
in Edinburgh Scotland when we were therein twenty sixteen, and they memorialized this
dog that used to hang around thetown square. There is a bronze statue.
Well, his nose is brightly coloredbronze because everyone rubs it for good
luck. So all I'm saying Braintreeis right as people might start rubbing the
(27:06):
ducks. Now shine that note.That's right, that's right. We got
kind of a crapshoot weather wise today, increasing clouds, maybe a little damp
in some areas, maybe a spotshower tonight and into tomorrow. Highs in
the mid sixties. It is fiftyone degrees outside Medford headquarters. I'm Keny
Young at one hundred point seven WZLA. Carlson Mackenzie and Heather Kenny Young are
producer, just Kenny and I.Today you got clouds around. It's going
(27:27):
to be just a damp, dankkind of day with temperatures in the sixties.
Lots of rain tomorrow in the forecast, and then Sunday the rain moves
out, but it's going to bebreezy. They're telling us windshill factors on
Sunday. What yeah, they areso daytime highs fifty five fifty eight something
like that, and then the windshills are in the forties. Good morning,
(27:49):
Jets. Was just listening to yourlatest break in the news with Kenny,
and things seemed a bit less chaoticthan I realized. Oh no,
Kevin given today right here we go. Yeah, off and running. Last
night, Week seven of the NFLseason. Who got underway with the Jaguars
(28:14):
beating the New Orleans Saints by seventhirty one twenty four. Trevor Lawrence did
play in that game? Oh yeah, it was this question relation whether he
would or not. So uh.The Patriots one in five get ready to
play the Bills four and two.The spread hasn't moved, it's still eight
and a half with twenty players.Did I hear? That's like an NFL
(28:37):
record? It's gotta be Wednesday's injuryreport, right, twenty players on the
injury report for the Patriots. Yeah, not one player with injury was a
full participant, which is unusual.Usually, you know, they'll list the
injuries limited. There's a lot ofguys limited, but not one Patriot player
with any kind of injury was afull participant. This is man, This
(29:00):
is an emotionally and mentally wounded group. It really is, right, it
really is. It's unbelievable this startof it's just not patriot like, and
we're just all scratching our heads overit and scratching your head over the fact
that the line is still eight anda half. Yeah for the Bills,
Yeah, I mean they should befavored by like two touchdowns. I'm not
(29:21):
saying that to disparage the Pats.I mean based on the product we've seen
so far. But yeah, withjust based on that alone, with the
injuries, you know, I mean, the gambler and me wants to tease
the Bills down to like one anda half points, two points and find
another teaser to play with it.But I tried that last week with the
Browns in San Francisco. I teasedthe game down just so the forty nine
(29:44):
ers had to win. Yeah.That surprised me that game because I watched
it. That was the early game, right, and I watched it thinking
San Franz was gonna run away withit, and then they they gave it
away to the Bill the Browns whotook took it. That's what the NFL
games are like, Kenny. Youthink you know exactly what's gonna happen and
you don't know any given Sunday Pete, as the cliche goes right, Julian
(30:04):
Edelman. This was posted by aBleacher Report. I believe Julian Edelman was
on a podcast yesterday and he wasbeing asked to do some imitations, which
he's done in the past. Bythe way, I love post football career
Julian Edelman. I just love thisguy's a personality. He's great, you
know, and he's doing the rightthing. He's bouncing around keeping his name
(30:26):
out there. Eventually one day.Can't you picture him as a color analyst?
Oh, like a romo? YeahI could. Pete is so good.
He's smart enough, he's quick,he's funny. He is quick.
Now you know. You may sayin this podcast that these questions were set
up like he knew ahead of time, but he plays it off like he
didn't. Yeah. So here heis doing a couple of imitations. One's
(30:48):
Belichick and one's Brady. Okay,we would be a Belichick. Say if
you sent him a birthday prison,if I sent him a birthday present,
Yeah, he probably wouldn't say anything, but he would he would probably write
you a crazy he writes. Hewrites your handwritten letters. He'd be very
on it. But he's like,look, jewels, like, I hope
you don't think that I'm gonna getyou a present? Now. What would
(31:12):
Tom Brady say if you invite him? Want to vacation? If I invited
him on a vacation? Yeah,look, babe, you know like,
Babe, I love my boys sogood. I got my kids in Miami
in New York, Babe. Probablynot going to be able to make it,
Babe. Sorry, babe, Ilove your babe. Next time we
(31:33):
go to bakers I'll bring you.I look up to you there. So
thanks for the invitation. But I'lllet you know his nickname for Edelman babe
or babe or call them all babe. I think it might have been Edelman.
It feels like it was. Here'sanother one because if you remember a
lot of times, because Edelman hasdone this impression before, he's Brady used
to call him bubs too, bubBabubs. That's right, that's right,
(31:57):
bubs, Patriots, bub take onthe bills Sunday Sunday one. Let's keep
our fingers crossed, right, Kenny, it's a six thirty five fifty one
degree's one hundred point seven WZL.Like Stephen Tyler, a little bit of
radio silence over the last few weeks, suffering with those throat issues and the
(32:17):
peace out tour being canceled through theend of the year. Hopefully he's in
recovery mode. We haven't heard anything. No, it hasn't anything since that
initial thing where he said he wascrushed that he wouldn't be able to go
out on the road here. Yeah, Carls McKenzie, Heather Kenny Young our
producer. Six forty seven, fiftytwo degrees, clouds today, damp,
and then rain moves in tomorrow,temperatures in the sixties, and then Sunday
(32:43):
it's going to get breezy, coolerwith the rain coming to an end.
I'm planning on golfing on Sunday.That should be interesting. Just hold it's
not rain, cold, and wind. I can handle two out of the
three, yeah, but I don'tlike all three. So, Kenny,
this clickbait that we're seeing on allthe TV news stations for this library restaurant
in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Thelibrary restaurant. Do you watch the video?
(33:07):
I've watched the video probably half adozen times. Yeah, you know,
and even when they slow it down, are you are you seeing anything
but like a cloud, like afoggy cloud go by nothing but that so
it looks like somebody was smoking acigar and like a huge plume of smoke
goes by their security cameras. Yes, but these security cameras got triggered not
(33:30):
only inside the restaurant but also tothe local authorities. Right, yes,
yeah, which is I mean,how does a puff of smoke, which
is what it looks like. Yeah, like you said, from a cigar,
right trigger the security camera outside andinside of the restaurant too. I
don't know, let's hear it.It was just a normal night, and
(33:50):
tell it wasn't what I was tellingthe story the cripkeeper. It sounds like
a fifteen year old playing dungeons anddragons. Not that there's anything wrong that
no surveillance camera outside the Library,Steakhouse and Portsmouth catching something. But what
what we caught on camera is it'svery mysterious. Paul Waterman and his wife
Adrian owned the library and don't considerthemselves big ghost people either, but this,
(34:16):
this has them asking, This hasthem drumming up more business in the
month of questions that thing going bythe camera could set off a motion censor
that's twenty feet inside the restaurant.Man, I can't even begin to explain
that. I mean, that's fascinatingto me, whether or not it is
a spirit of some kind. Theother factor in this story is the tour
(34:39):
of the basement of that library restaurant. Did you watch that part? I
did. I got further into itand apparently there's like these tunnels underneath that
building that they say go all theway out to the water, out to
the ocean. Ocean. Yeah,that I would like to take a tour
off to. That would be socool. And why they were put there?
What is that old maritime expression whenyou know this used to happen,
(35:04):
And if you've ever been to likeSavannah, Georgia in particular, or Charleston,
is it when people that work inthe shipping industry would be shanghid where
they would be like drugged or knockedout and they would take them down below
a building out a tunnel that haddirect access to the water, where they
would then be loaded on ships,wake up the next day and be forced
(35:24):
into labor. Oh. I thinkthat was being shanghaid. Oh okay,
because we went on a ghost tourdown there in Savannah, and that is
a common thing. Like there wasthese tunnels that they would build under buildings
back in the day that would gostraight out to the water. Sure,
sure, like an underground railroad forevil exactly right, So who knows.
Wow, So definitely some spooky thingsgoing on there anyway. Well, yeah,
(35:45):
there's something to do. Wow,the library in Portsmouth. I still
love this guy for the sake ofthe break. It was just a normal
night, and tell it wasn't,and tell it wasn't. It was just
a normal reading of it. He'sthe paper. Well, good luck to
them up in Portsmouth. I dolove you Portsmouth, and it does make
me want to go to that place, for sure, it does. But
(36:07):
I would demand to tour of thetunnels. I would have to go down
into the tunnel six fifty to fiftytwo degrees at Boston's Classic Rock, Hey,
listen, we're about an hour awayfrom your ticket to rock. That's
right, Win him before you canbuy him, drop kick Murphy, say
it's stupid. Tickets go on saleten Amlive nation dot com for not one,

we are your home for the mostcommercial free music in Boston, Boston's
classic Rock one hundred point seven wzx Chrls McKenzie and Heather Kenny Young are
producer. At seven oh two fiftytwo degrees. The weather does not look
good this weekend, plain and simple. You can see the start of it
(36:49):
out there now in clouds. Igot a shock. Well look last weekend
they were talking about rain and wedidn't get any. But I think it's
gonna be a little different this weekendwith a Saturday looking like a washout and
then a windy and cooler on Sunday. They're talking, I mean they're talking
winds that drop the temperature like fourteento fifteen degrees. So that's fun.
(37:10):
Yeah, hang in there. Look, Kenny and I were talking before the
show about the finer thing, thefiner things in life. Yes, I
certainly have a couple of bottles ofsingle malt Scotch at home that I like
to sip on. They last meforever. By the way, I do
as well, and one of themwas gifted to me from our friend over
(37:30):
here at Yes, the Capies CappiesLiquor, right where were they created the
happy ending bourbon for us? Theydid? I have you cracked that bottle?
That bottle doesn't exist anymore, Noway was I. I haven't even
touched mine yet. There's a itfeels like a elector's it of me because
it's got That's the one we finishedoff. Okay, I think that one
(37:51):
because this was a couple of yearsago. All right, I'm just saying,
so nothing to lasts that long inmy cabinet. Now, you were
telling me about getting a poor ata pub that was very expensive, but
not having to pay for it.Yeah, I'm going to take you back
to Actually it was a staff dinnerthat we used to have, these staff
dinners once or twice a year wherewe'd go to a high end steakhouse and
(38:15):
take your pick and the radio stationwould spring for the air staff and we'd
get a private room and this musicwould be playing. And I'm telling your
rocket room, not only soup tonuts, but all the booze was included
and they would pick up the tabfor us just as like a thank you
for your work throughout the year,because we don't get Christmas bonuses, you
(38:37):
know, pour us world's smallest violinplaying. But yeah, so anyway,
long story short. At the endof the meal, I start to notice
people are ordering like after dinner drinks, like high end single malts. Yes,
right, And then I forget whoit was. Might have been the
boss man at the time. I'mgoing back at least ten to fifteen years
ago, maybe longer, and thishigh end cognac starts getting ordered, and
(39:00):
I didn't know what the hell itwas. And I was like, yeah,
I've had all kinds of whiskeys andscotches. I never really got into
cognacs. Right, well, thiswas a Remy Martin a Louis the thirteenth,
And so when I looked at themenu of after dinner, because they
have it based on the one ouncepoor the one and a half ounce poor
yeah a shot, right, yeah, it was almost seventy dollars a poor
(39:22):
wow for just a little while,you know, not one and a half
ounce yeah, two fingers. Iwas floored. Of course, I ordered
one sure because I wasn't paying,and it was like liquid honey. It
was I can't even describe it.So then, so you're saying the taste
of it matched the price. Ithink so. And of course when we
(39:43):
got home we googled how much abottle of it was. It was over
four grand a bottle. Oh mygod, unbelievable. All right, So
I'm at the coach grill and whalingKenny. Yeah, and my wife and
I always sit at the bar,and I notice up on the top shelf
is old Rip van Winkle. Oh, Pappy van Winkle, not Pappy.
Oh, but old Rip van Winkle, which is but they're both made.
(40:05):
Pappy and Old Rip are both madeby Buffalo Trade. Yeah, same distiller.
Reason. Yes, now the Pappyvan Winkle is way expensive. Yeah,
that's the twenty three the one thatcollectors share. Yes, yes,
the one that the documentary series Heist. If you've seen it on Netflix.
If you've seen oh you got towatch out. Okay, I'm not much
on recommendations for Netflix, but KennyHeist on Netflix. It's a three part
(40:30):
series, six episodes of three differentheists, and the last heist is the
Pappy van Winkle ooh heist by asoftball team down in Kentucky. It's fascinating
nice all right. But so theold Rip Van Winkle was seventy five bucks
a shot at the coach and Isaid, to my seventy five seventy five
(40:50):
I shot. I ordered one,and my wife's sitting there and she goes,
you're not ordering that, You're notpaying for that. I said,
you have to try it. Theyjust had to conversation. It's like jewels
in pulp fiction. He goes,I gotta know what a five dollar milkshake
tastes like. Right, So mywife says, it's like we invited somebody
else to dinner for seventy five bucksfor one shot. And I said,
(41:14):
well, I gotta try it.And it was. It was fast,
it was fantastic, Oh it was. It was worth every nice to hear
it was worth it. You know. We bring up this segment because over
in London, the Southby's auction Househas announced that a ninety six year old
bottle of single malt from McCallen ishitting the auction block. It's one of
the rarest and most sought after bycollectors, the McCallen nineteen twenty six.
(41:38):
It's the one that's being described asa whiskey that every auctioneer wants to sell
and every collector wants to own.Take a guess at what this thing is
going to start at it starts,I'm going to say, at man,
it's got to be fifteen thousand,all right now, there's only let's see,
forty bottles remaining in the world.So that's that you give you how
(42:00):
many? How many figures you guess? God? Maybe six figures? Try
seven figures. Starting estimate on thisMcCallen twenty six is one point four million,
and it's they're saying it may breakthe previous record of a McCallan sold
in twenty nineteen for one and ahalf million. So yeah, something we'll
never try, Kenny. That's lotterymoney right there. From a Planet Fitness
(42:23):
w CLX Studios. Now, thanksfor making us part of your morning lines
with Heather break Store. Thank Godone seven WZLX boded well. Heather Forward
still basking in the glow of herstaycation. Uh so, yeah, I've
been hard at work on the newsdesk this week, Pete. I don't
(42:44):
know if you've noticed. Oh,you've been digging you and your team I've
come up with I mean you andyou may come up with many myself.
I have been coming up with somegood stuff this week, Me and myself.
Eh, but I that that guybringing the heat. That's right.
Let's take you up to PbD wherethey've had to install a new pilot program
and I would expect a lot ofcommunities to adopt this. The school district
(43:07):
has partnered with bus patrols, Sowhat they've done is parents outreach and school
representatives. They install bus cameras thatautomatically detect and record vehicles that pass by
a stopped bus. You know whenthat arm comes out with the stop sign.
People blow by buses all the timeand this is how people get killed
(43:27):
and injured. And so get aload of this, so they up in
Pevity thanks to the program they puttogether thirty six school buses with let's see,
just announced on Thursday that this programhas recorded over eight hundred illegally passed
buses picking up and dropping off students. Listen to this. Between September,
(43:49):
when school started in September till Octobertenth, over eight hundred cars were filmed
blowing by a stopped school bus.I'm here to tell you I follow a
lot of school buses in Framingham whenI'm even for the golf course and in
why I get to drive through rightpast a couple of elementary schools and look,
I know we never see anybody pateight one hundred over eight hundred.
This is just in PbD alone.Oh my god, here's one local mother
(44:13):
that put together they stop the operatorfrom passing program. It's just so wrong.
These are kids. I just startedseeing it again and again and again,
and I was like, what isyou know, what is going on
here? We need to do better. We just we're adults, they're kids.
Yeah, I know, it's justit's crazy. I know people are
thinking when you got a school busin front yet, ain't nobody got time
for that? Yeah? But Iknow plenty of people that they're trying to
(44:37):
get to work and school themselves,right, Yeah, they drop offs and
I understand against frustrating. And Ihave noticed over the years that school bus
stops are closer and closer together.Back in my day it used to have
to walk almost demid a bunch wellin Framingham. They get dropped off in
front of their house practically, andthen we used to drink out of the
(44:58):
nonten holes right the Spottish we needright well, Let's bring you to some
goodness. We walked that's right uphillboth ways in a snowstorm. Let's bring
you to Braintree for today's first feelGood Friday story. Community members gathered yesterday
in honor of a police officer,Kit now Braintree Police Officer. Kit is
(45:21):
a Canine police officer who was shotand killed in the line of duty trying
to help apprehend some suspects back inJune of twenty twenty one. So they
did this big, you know,public drive through memorial for Kit when he
passed away, right, which wasawesome. Tons of people came out.
Well, this group of five kidsreally were touched by what they saw that
(45:42):
day and decided they were going tohelp raise money to have a statue,
a permanent memorial to honor Kit's workand legacy with the Braintreet Police Department.
Get a load of this, thesekids, Well, we're gonna hear from
a couple of them right here.Now. We were going to Kit's drive
by funeral, and we got inthe call and we thought, why don't
we make something to contribute to whatKit did. I hope people who come
(46:05):
and see the statue think of allthe sacrifices he made and think of all
the police officers that have died inthe line of duty. Wow. Wow,
such well spoken kids too. Wellyeah, I mean these kids are
not only respecting authority, which isunusual these days, but they're memorializing authority,
which and bring an awareness to it. Yeah. I think that's awesome.
Well, these kids raised twenty fourgrand. Wow, because what it
(46:27):
was going to take to have thisbronze statue constructed in a plaque and memorial
the whole thing all in so theyraised over twenty four grand just doing like
lemonade stands, cornhole tournaments, probablya few bake sales along the way.
Now those are real future leaders,right. I love good job, Kit.
Love to hear that done in Braintree. So at the memorial service,
Kit's handler, officer Billy Cushing,Sorry if your rank is higher than that.
(46:52):
Now that's just the information I'm goingoff of. He got really emotional,
as you'd expect. He was thehandler for this dog for his whole
career right in the community. Cannotfay, thank you guys enough of what
you did. I miss and thinkabout kid every day. I knew that
he gave us all each time wewent out and the truth. He inspired
me to do the same, likeCanin Kitt lived his life. Keep moving
forward, yeap, keep moving forward. Well, kudos and cheers, Kenny.
(47:14):
I can only imagine for a policeofficer, there's no better partner than
a dog, right, all right, I mean there can't be. It's
got to be the best partner tohave ever. You know what that means,
Pete. Here we got yeah,maybe kind of a crapshoot weather wise
today though I feel good fast.Yeah, increasing clouds may feel a little
(47:38):
zamp. A few isolated showers intotonight highs in the mid sixties. Let's
see what we got here. Fiftyone degrees outside our Medford headquarters. I'm
ketty on at one hundred point sevenw Zeala
