Speaker 2 (00:58):
Why is it? It seemed like there was just as much
traffic coming in as any normal Monday. Does anybody have
the day off?

Speaker 4 (01:04):
Maybe because nobody can drive. I hit almost no traffic.
It was glorious.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Well, Jack and I are coming in from West World yeah,
and it was like driving into a hurricane. Yeah, like
sheets of rain, I said, sheets of rain.

Today's one of those days where they have all the
people out in the storm tracker vehicles.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
That's correct. Yes, Well, let's help you out with this day,
all right. And I also heard it on the way
in Winthrop there were people walking with trash bags along
the beach picking up lobsters. True or false?

Speaker 4 (01:35):
I believe it. I believe it.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
They were dislodged by the storm. Sure, what's that like?

the wind the Columbus Day, Indigenous People's contests that Pelosi's
put in the right.

Speaker 8 (02:00):
Now, I don't think because he can do with that track.
All right, music challenge, it's a classic rock challenge, all right. Okay,
that means you have no idea. It's a surprise the
monthly multi track.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
I thought, I thought that would be good. I like that.
That's always fun. Yeah, let's do it. Well, let's get started.
For crying out loud, alas from the LX.

Speaker 9 (02:23):
It's the download with Danielle on Boston's Classic Rock one
hundred and twenty seven.

Speaker 4 (02:28):
WCLX all right please and Worcester are searching for a
suspect and a theft that happened at a newly owned
small business history infuriates me. Man allegedly stole Pokemon cards
to the tune of about three thousand dollars from Utaku Sakai,
which is a gaming store on park app which just
open its a lounge, got some gaming stuff, looks great.

(02:51):
The owner, John Lee, put a lot into it. They've
been posting on Instagram all their stuff leading up to
the opening. And then this guy clearly had cased the
joint because you can see the surveillance video. He knows
what to hide, he knows how to put the cards
in his pocket, goes in, robs them of a ton
of stuff, and then leaves.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
They got the guy on video.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
They got the guy on video.

Speaker 6 (03:12):
Guy, you.

Speaker 4 (03:15):
Pretty good, pretty clear video show so the store on
a John said that man has targeted the store before
and appeared to know exactly how to conceal the cards,
and also that he came during a slower time before
and figured like he came back when people were busy
attending now their customers. But here's some audio from a
video that John put up on Instagram this weekend, where I.

Speaker 6 (03:35):
Do you re inventory of everything in the store, Make
sure this guy didn't take anything else, make sure we
weren't hit withing a group of people, and hopefully we
can figure out a way to prevent this from happening.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
In the future. Is there a big money on the
Pokemon black market?

Speaker 4 (03:51):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Yes? I know, Tyler, I know you collect Oh my god,
back when that was a fat I was out there
all the time.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
Yeah, it's there's a lot.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Of money in Pokemon, a lot still. Yes, it's been
around for so long.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
It doesn't matter. There's still a lot doing it.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
I know someone who has a wall of them, like
in a room, hundreds of them, Like like you know
how we used to have CD walls like Carter CD wall. Yeah,
like this is a Pokemon wall was like forty eight
years old. It's an older person. You got to talk
to you at that point.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
You got big money in that, Yeah, big money.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
What do you do? That's like having a collection of
shot glasses on the wall in a case, yeah exactly.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
Okay, okay, all right, well, uh if you want to
look at those images, you can either go on a
talk to Sakais Instagram or you can check out the
release from Worcester PEUD. But I hope that they catch
the sky so they can recover this stuff because, uh,
you know, anybody, if anybody is not equipped to handle
a loss like that, it's a small small business. Like

(04:49):
bigger businesses, not to justify it at all, they have
an easier time absorbing a loss like that. Small business
like you can't do it.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
So now the guy's insurance is going to go.

Speaker 4 (04:59):
Way up to don't be a scumbag. Bring the cads
back now. With most of the park staff fur load
during the ongoing government shutdown, you know, seventy National Park
has descended into a little bit of chaos.

Speaker 10 (05:10):
You know.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
They used to have the park rangers around to be like,
hey can't do that, Hey that's prohibited. Hey can't fly
your drone here, Hey can't base jump, And people are like, oh,
no rules, no regulations, that can do whatever I want.
Visitors are base jumping off l capy ten, climbing half
dome without permits, squatting in campgrounds after overstaying reservations. Officials
had warned this would happen if park stayed open. They
tried to get them to close the parks during the shutdown,

(05:32):
and they were just like, nope, we're gonna We're gonna
leave them now. Fragile ecosystems and visitor safety are both
at risk until funding and staff are restored. So it's
it's kind of a free for all up.

Speaker 7 (05:40):
Restrooms are closed, so people are pooping all over the place,
all over the Oh okay, I'm stepping that.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
Go easy, Thank god. Fifty six degrees in Boston right now,
we'll see rain with a high of fifty seven, so
we're gonna jump a whole degree. I'm Danielle that you're
download Yeah.

Speaker 5 (05:58):
Seven seconds of sports with Tyler Well Jackie Boyd.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Don't look now, but we have a Fouri and two
football team and an undefeated hockey team. Look at that,
Boston is We're not hoisting Lombardi and Stanley just yet,
but we're off to a nice start. Pats faced a
situation this week going into this game that we've seen
a zillion times in the NFL. He dreaded letdown game.
Oh yeah, could have been. It's a trap game. The
trap game. Coming off a big win last Sunday night

(06:23):
in Buffalo, odds are you're gonna lay an egg the
following week. But not these guys. No, no, no, especially
not when you have a guy like Drake May really
coming into his own right now. Now the great week,
two hundred and sixty one yards, three touchdowns come on,
and more importantly, no picks. Obviously that was a huge
problem last year through ten picks.

Speaker 7 (06:37):
Last year, he looks so different. Now, he looks so comfortable.
His throws are just perfect. What changed this year.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
From last year? To you? Like, cool head coach, you
don't know. Kaishawan Boodie also had a great day ninety
three receiving yards and two touchdowns. And he's a guy
who's very self aware. Here he is after the game.

Speaker 11 (06:59):
Yeah, I would say I wasn't always the person I
wanted to be three four years ago, Like I just
said in the meeting, you know, I had a lot
of off the field stuff, a lot of concerns, character concerns.
But I mean I feel like, like I said, I
wasn't well I wanted to be a couple of years ago,
and I feel like everything finally coming together now, So
I mean it's great.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
I watch the growth tremendously pretty good, right like that?
I like that. Yeah, change man, he understands he had issues.
He's taking care of stuff. Pop Douglas added the TV
as well. But nobody had more fun yesterday than the refs.
Are you kidding me? Nineteen penalties eleven for the Pats,
eight on the Saints. What I cause? I think I
like to think I'm a nice guy. I sent them,

(07:39):
I sent them ice. I sent the reps ice packs
to their dressing room. Yeah, you know, just a pceed
on the shoulders for throwing all those flags, you know
what I mean? They probably were in paying Stefan Diggs called,
my god, that was off. On twenty five nineteen was
the final. We got the double. We're off the Tennessee
next week. Then we got the Browns and the Falcons
at home. Very favorable schedule, I would say, am I
gonna make any predictions? Would you say a saft schedule?

(08:01):
This could be a seven to two team before you
in the next jime. Here's here's a cool note though.
If the Bills lose tonight, we're in first place. I know,
how do you like that. Other NFL notes, the Panthers
beat the Cowboys, only saying that because I like saying
the Cowboys lost. The Colts won again. They go to
five and won their best record since two thousand and
nine to start this season, when they went fourteen to
oer with Peyton Manning back in the day. The Ravens

(08:23):
are now one in five. Horrible, horrible. I mean they
also played the last two games without Lamar Jackson, which
they are a completely dysfunctional team. Without him, they can't
do anything with that used to have such a killer defense. Awful.
They lost a game one in five? Who saw that coming?
And finally the Bucks beat the forty nine ers their
five and one little Baker Mayfield MVP tatter happening right now.
I watched part of that game. Mac Jones looks good.

(08:45):
Mac Jones looks he's another guy who's shining with a
different head coach. Who knew that was the thing? Like
I said before, Bruins undefeated three and O beat the
Sabers Saturday night at the Garden. Tonight they host Tampa
Bay before they go on a three game road trip.
And finally, let's talk about a very interesting moment on
es Saturday during college game Day. So kirk Herbstreet's at
the desk. They're all there, Nick Staban, Pat McAfee, the

(09:06):
whole crew, and they're talking about the Bill Belichick situation.
And he's holding his phone like his phone had rang.
And Pat McAfee pointed out something.

Speaker 10 (09:14):
He is completely bought into what's happening with this team
and with this program and.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Him leaving or the idea and answer that I can't
but answer that he has to be watching right now.

Speaker 10 (09:29):
That's literally Bill Belichick calling Kirk Kurbs probably has something
to say, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
He probably don't. Yeah. Interesting, So we don't know if
it was actually him that called, but he didn't say
it wasn't Could you see the screen, could you see
it's Bill. You couldn't see that it was Bill. That's
why we're not sure. But he, like kirk Herbstreet, is
not the kind of guy that sits at the desk
and holds his phone. He's not that guy. He's got
it off to the side, he's paying attention. But something
was going on there, and he's also talking to Bill Belichick,

(09:55):
saying that Bill's all bought in, like he's in go
UNC you know what. Jordan had his phone, he's calling.
Maybe it was her trying to tell them what to say.
All right, that sports. I'm Tyler and this the Chuck
Dolan Morney Show on ZX.

Speaker 5 (10:06):
It's the Chuck Nolan Morning Show on Boston's Classic one hundred.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
Point seven w CLX.

Speaker 9 (10:12):
And wherever you rock in the Free World with a
free iHeart Radio app.

Speaker 7 (10:18):
You know, if you go to a concert or a
sporting event, you still get cotted, Yes, even if you're
well past twenty one, And they say, well, we have
to do it anyway.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
It's it's policies.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
It's just as annoying for them as it is free
it is.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
But is that ridiculous though?

Speaker 7 (10:32):
I mean you can you can actually see it looking
at someone. Yes, you're not wearing a rubber mask or something.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
We have a funny story of a couple in Boston
who got carted. They were well over twenty one. Well, well, well,
how well done is this stake? They were not sure.
This is crazy. Get details coming up to CLX. The
Chuck Nolan Morning Show with Daniel Mert and Tyler Ever

(11:00):
last month Suffolk Downs, they had the Irish Festival. My people,
the Shonnade Festival or whatever it was called. They had
an Irish name.

Speaker 4 (11:08):
We can't Clay Session. It was not that one.

Speaker 7 (11:15):
It was all Irish, Irish bands, Irish food, all the delicacies,
the lamb's head on a stick, the deep fried Pete moss,
all that stuff. It's delicacies and quotes. When you say that,
all right, don't do that. I'm just saying, do I
make fun of Italian food? You can't because we have
a cuisine. What about Irish food. It's not a cuisine.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Being Irish rocks, that's right.

Speaker 4 (11:34):
Okay, alright.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
One of the bands playing that day was the Pogue's
very famous Irish band, and Ed McCormick and his wife
came over from England to see the Pogues. They love Boston.
They've been here a couple of times, fell in love
with the city as they should. They've seen the band
a dozen times. So they're coming to the Snade Sejuan Festival.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (11:55):
The only thing is, of course, being Irish, want to
hydrate yourself and you do that with beer. They couldn't
get a beer. You couldn't get a drink because they
did not have a physical id.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Oh that's not good. But they must have looked really young.
Well it is seventy. Yeah, his wife Debbie is sixty four.
Are they youthful looking? They're irish. They look they look weathered.
They well a little bit. They they've lived a life. Okay.
Everything was on their phone, the.

Speaker 7 (12:25):
Concert tickets, credit cards, photos of their passports, digital visas,
showed their dates of birth. They even had their digital
Senior Rail cards with them. But they would not accept
anything at the gate. They said they'd have strict physical
ID only policy. They were allowed to go in but
warned not to order alcohols. So what do they do?
They drew the big black X on the back of

(12:46):
their head.

Speaker 4 (12:47):
Yeah, that's such a pain.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
They were scorned. What are we doing the giant X?
Seventy year old guy?

Speaker 4 (12:53):
I am still young. It's the town, it's the city,
it's the regulators. It's a pain.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
The ask, is that what it is?

Speaker 4 (13:02):
Yeah, because in order to get the permit for the festival,
you have to abide by the you know, the Alcohol
commissioned laws about idea. But if you're going to be
along the lines of any venue in the state, if you.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Go to the Garden or Gillette or Fenway. You still
have to show an idea even if you're seventy.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
Years old every time, So it's the same thing.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
It's the same thing.

Speaker 4 (13:20):
Yeah, it's just I understand.

Speaker 7 (13:23):
I understand if it's closed, but when you're seventy at
that point, okay, fine, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
Why do you Why does it have to be a
physical idea? Why? Why is all this other stuff not?
Why we can't I can't use like passport picture and
all that. What's wrong with that? It shows who they
are and how old they are.

Speaker 7 (13:40):
I agree, But they said they had a policy it
had to be a physical id.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Can we just stop for the sake of making rules.

Speaker 7 (13:48):
I even paid money for the VIP tenth take US
five hundred and fifteen dollars and they could not get
a drink in there.

Speaker 4 (13:53):
That sucks. That's the whole reason you go to that
waiting in line for the bathroom.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
They had the black X on the back of the hand. Yeah,
we got to change that. Yeah, I call BS on
all this.

Speaker 7 (14:02):
You know, you take your grandfather to family park for
socks game or something he wants to get.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, what if you're taking somebody to a socks game
or whatever and it's an older person and they don't
drive anymore. Maybe they don't carry around a license. Yeah,
so they can't have a beer because they have a
stupid physical idea.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
And I can get out.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
It's ridiculous. That's why they go to VIP In case
they do fall, they will get up, someone will help them.
Oh boy, who do we call to change this? I
don't know who do we call? It just seems really strange,
especially we have so many tourists that come into the
city from all over the world, and they're not going
to have like a driver's licensee like we have. What

(14:44):
if the medio guide comesany he wants to a lot
of places, you can't.

Speaker 4 (14:47):
You can't get alcohol with a not a state driver's license.
That's what I'll show you bring your passport, Is that right?

Speaker 2 (14:54):
What?

Speaker 4 (14:54):
Yeah? Blame the blame the ABCC, the alcohol, the alcoholic
beverages control.

Speaker 2 (14:59):
For Wait, even if you're like fifty eight years old
and you're from Ohio, you can't get served.

Speaker 4 (15:04):
This depends on the place. Some places, if it's if
you're under twenty five, they won't take out of state.
I d it kind of. I mean I don't go
out these days and I'm not under twenty five, So
I get.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
That the whole fake id thing, But I thought I
thought the holograms and licenses.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
Some places won't serve you with an out of state
I d period, wow, because I see this in a
lot of travel groups that I'm in. People are like, well,
what do I have to bring the blo up? And
people will say bring your passport because many places with
the an out of state idity you can't get served.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Is this one of the reasons the Famway Park concession
workers want to strike?

Speaker 4 (15:38):
It's a situation.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
No situation isn't just quit drinking forget it. They're going
to make it difficult.

Speaker 4 (15:43):
Tiny's like to stand on in that conversation.

Speaker 7 (15:45):
I'm just saying, if you're going to make it difficult,
why bother just serve edibles at the show?

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Haven't gummy your take?

Speaker 1 (15:52):
It's a check No.

Speaker 5 (15:53):
One morning show on Boston's Classic Rock one point seven
w z LX or guess.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
You're listening done dur Sheep on the Free I heard
radio app.

guy fifty year employee, fifty.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Years fifty five zero you get fired because he had
to peek.

Speaker 7 (16:20):
Okay, well, I don't know if that's the whole star.
All right, it's kind of around that you made a choice.
Was it a wise choice?

Speaker 2 (16:29):
It cost him?

Speaker 7 (16:30):
This is kind of how along the lines of Tyler's
do you pee in the shower? That We'll tell you
what it takes to get fired in Detroit.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
It's all pipes coming up from ZLX.

Speaker 7 (16:45):
The Chuck Nolan Morning Show with Daniel Murr and Tyler
bruins off to an unbelievable start.

Speaker 2 (16:52):
Nobody predicted that just on a tear here.

Speaker 7 (16:55):
Yeah, I think you should broadcast live from a billboard
until they.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
Lose I second, you're looking at me when you said
you thirdy him? Yes, yes, you know, I think that
would be so cool, he said. Anybody other than me,
she would have said, no, people would rally around you.
I mean sometimes people think you're, you know, shocker. Why
does he got to be a billboard. Why can't it

(17:20):
be like a nice warm cabin somewhere, because then we
could drive by and see you every day. He'd drive
by a nice warm cabin. No, it's not the same.

Speaker 7 (17:28):
No, I had a friend of mine from af who
did that on a billboard when the Orioles lost like forever,
they lost twenty seven games or something in a row.
Stayed on that billboard down in Baltimore. Made him a star.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Really, it really did. Wow. When we did the Bob Rivers,
it's like an old school radio stunt.

Speaker 4 (17:45):
Yeah, when we did the Walk and Rock for Change
every year on AF i'lbe and Spousy stayed in a bucket,
in the bucket of a bucket truck for like three days.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Going in the bucket.

Speaker 4 (17:55):
Yeah, there was a there was a five gallon bucket
port a potty situation.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
It was not what do you do?

Speaker 4 (18:02):
I can't? Why take down my bucket?

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Got a pee? You gonna make the sacrifice?

Speaker 4 (18:07):
You go right off the side. That's what i'll Be
would have done.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Oh God, blessed well. Well, speaking of that out in Detroit,
there's a court case right nowadays. Gripped the area kind
of like the Karen Reid of Detroit.

Speaker 4 (18:21):
What does that look like?

Speaker 2 (18:22):
Al Sabodka? Oh it worked for the Red Wings for
fifty years as the zamboni driver. Cool job, that is, yeah,
fifty years. So he started when he's eighteen. He's sixty
eight years old. He's had that job forever. That's his
big that's his main gig. That's a cool job. It's
a great job. It doesn't really pay all that much,
but it's a great job. You were looking at a

(18:43):
photo of him too, You saw him with the octopus. Yeah,
it's from the twenty thirteen Stanley Cup playoffs. Somebody's got
the octopus on and he's not only is he carrying it,
but he's got like this big grin on his face,
like ah holding it. Climy octopus with an octopus. That's
a Red Wings tradition. It is. Yeah, you know what
it's from. No, I don't start in nineteen fifty two.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
Nineteen fifty two.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
It represents the eight playoff wins needed to win the
Stanley Cup. The octopus has the eight tentacles. Guy that
didn't decide to pick a spider yees, seriously, it's so gross.

Speaker 4 (19:13):
Geez.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Well, Al lost his job. He was fired for urinating.
Where on the ice? Well, it's where they dump the ice,
I guess drain. He says he was caught. He was
caught by an employee urinating where they dump out the
ice from the zamboni? Where do they dump out the

(19:35):
ice from the zamboni. It's it's like a drain somewhere.
Is it in the building in the stadium? Yeah, rinks
where you see the pile of snow outside from the zamboni. No,
apparently they do it in a drain in the building,
and he decided to just take care of business right
then and there.

Speaker 4 (19:53):
It's the only worst things have happened in a stadium,
I know.

Speaker 7 (19:56):
Please, He says he has prostate issues. He says, I
had to go, especially around water. That's when I had
to go the worst. So he did admit to doing
it in the ice pit. He said he couldn't hold
it after parking one of the zambonis in the garage.
He said half of his body would have been visile,
but only from the back. I was standing right where
that white wheel is. I was leaning against it, and

(20:17):
that's when I had the urge to go solo.

Speaker 4 (20:21):
On the list of things I can't again, let's look
at the stuff that's happened with pro athletes, rock stars, everywhere,
of the degenerates that's ever been through a venue like that, disgusting.
I have borne witness to some of it, and gets
some up pain in the ass.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
Somebody didn't like L and the fact that he got
to hold the octopus and they didn't.

Speaker 4 (20:45):
They had it out for L.

Speaker 2 (20:46):
He's claiming age discrimination. Yeah, oh yeah, of course, as
they hired a thirty seven year old, as they call it, underling.
And this is the craziest part. He's it took him
fifty years to make eighty one grand a year and
they hired this younger guy at the exact same price. Yo,
So he's now his age discrimination salary the whole thing.

(21:07):
He's actually suing them.

Speaker 7 (21:08):
He paid eighty one thousand dollars a year to be
the Zamboni driving pretty good figure. I think is is
that just for Red Wings games.

Speaker 4 (21:17):
I think there's ice maintenance involved in that as well.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
Disney on ice, that kind of thing.

Speaker 4 (21:21):
And I mean beyond just Zamboni ing in the act
of Zamboni.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Yes, he's working for the arena in other ways during
you know, during the non hockey season, putting parque over it.
So it's going it's going to the jury, or it
has gone to the jury. I bet they find him innocent.

Speaker 4 (21:36):
I would hope.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
So job back. Well, if it's a if it's a
physical thing, he's cross state issues, right, you know. I mean,
I've seen people with prostate issues. Sometimes you gotta go.
When you gotta go, you can't rean. You've seen them,
You've seen them wear like Yeah, I know, I've seen
I've seen it happen where people have no choice, they
have to go. The guy had to go. Guy had

(21:58):
to go. Sixty eight years old old. I didn't take
a leak, couldn't hold it in anymore. You think they
get him like a Red Wings catheter or something like that.
Wouldn't it be cool if it had the logo on
it too?

Speaker 4 (22:08):
I mean, I don't hate it.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
It's not a bad idea. I'll take a Bruins cat.
When it's time for me to have a catheter. I
want a Bruins cat black and gold.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Sure, it's all great, but you may have missed the
best part.

Speaker 5 (22:19):
Listen to the full show podcast every day on the
iHeartRadio app The chet nil In Morning Show on Boston's

Speaker 7 (22:31):
Danielle was leaning into the laptom figure out all that
weekend news that we're gonna hear about in the download
coming up here.

Speaker 4 (22:38):
Can't see I gotta keep my laptop so far away
because it's stupid. The studio is just not set up
for people to use computers in front of them complaining today, Well,
it's just not it's not intuitive. There's no reason there
should be an arm bar on the desk.

Speaker 7 (22:52):
You look like Zamboni driver al leaning in to see
where you compete.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
From the w CLX catches law dot Com studios.

Speaker 9 (23:02):
It's the download with Danielle on Boston's Classic Rock one

Speaker 4 (23:10):
With most park staff furlough during the ongoing government shutdown,
Yosemite has descended into absolute chaos. Now, normally if you
visit a national park, there's a lot of restrictions in place.
You have to get permits. Oftentimes there's a lottery. You
just you have to behave you're supposed to behave. There
are time limits set for where you can stay.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
Beautiful park.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
Take care of it, take care of it. Leave no trees, yes, exactly. Well,
government shutdown, no one's there to police it. People are
taking advantage and there posting everything.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
It looks like escape from New York.

Speaker 4 (23:43):
Oh, it's crazy, absolute nightmare. So people visitors are illegally
base jumping off LKMPY ten they're climbing half dome without permits.
They're squatting in campgrounds after overstaying their reservations. Officials had
warmed this would have happened if the park stayed open. Now,
agile ecosystems and visitor safety are both at risk until
funding and staffy staffing are restored.

Speaker 7 (24:05):
We can't have nice things. I know, we have to
constantly be policed. It's we can't have nice things.

Speaker 4 (24:12):
It's just so unfortunate that you have that small group
of people that ruin it for everybody and take advantage.
It's like the drone regulation, Like there's there's always confusion
about if you can't launch a drone within a national park,
but can't you launch it adjacent and fly it in
blah blah blah, Like people don't take the time to
learn about stuff like I see this in the USA.
I see in other countries like Iceland all of their

(24:34):
national parks drone flying is prohibited except if you have
a permit, which takes a while to get and you
have to meet certain restrictions. And like just people never
pay attention. There's no drone signs everywhere, and some dope
from Minneapolis is out there and like, well, I guess
I'm just gonna launch my drone and get some footage.

Speaker 7 (24:49):
You know what's gonna happen. Somebody's gonna get killed trying
to feed a flaming hot dorito to a bison.

Speaker 13 (24:55):
I can't wait, it's gonna happen. To help this video
with these people that get out of the car walking
over to it, some people go, don't do that. Yeah, no,
it's not a fine idea.

Speaker 4 (25:06):
And you get the people to fall into the geysers. Oh,
that's never fun. That's boiling hot water.

Speaker 7 (25:12):
You know, it's weird you say that because when I
was out there, the geysers are so the pools that
they have all around the geysers are so beautiful. They're
so blue, they're so clear. It's like, wow, that looks
like it would feel really incredible. No, you boil to death.

Speaker 4 (25:26):
Yeah, it'll basically just burn. You sluff your skin, right,
And people jump in there, yea, there, take a swim.

Speaker 7 (25:33):
Oh god, they go off the trail. It's all Mark,
do not even think about going here. It's fine, And
they jump in the water boil like a lobster.

Speaker 6 (25:41):
Jeez.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
She felt funny.

Speaker 4 (25:44):
Absolutely, my god. Nearly Twenty years after surpassing Las Vegas
as the world's biggest gambling hub, Macau is pivoting toward
healthcare tourism. What yes, China, How.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
Well, what do you say, Hey, Hana, let's go to
China for check out that great healthcare they got.

Speaker 4 (26:04):
Well, it's like medical tourism. Like you have everybody that
goes to Turkey for the veneers and the hair transplants.
It's kind of like the same thing. Okay, They've opened
a new luxury resort hospital that offers screenings, advanced scans
and cosmetic procedures and approach to diversify its casino heavy economy.
And it makes sense, like how many of us have
gripes about what our health insurance does and doesn't cover

(26:27):
with the amount of money that we pay for it.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
So true.

Speaker 4 (26:30):
Yeah, Beijing has urged the region to reduce its dependence
on gambling and develop industries with international competitiveness, and this
is where the healthcare tourism plays into it. That move
will aligned with China's broader campaign for common prosperity and
a less flashy image of wealth like look at you.
They've ever seen the movie Crazy Rich Asians?

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (26:51):
Great display of like the sat flamboyant. Well so, and
why people do appear more common?

Speaker 7 (26:56):
Could they combine the casino industry with the healthcare industry.
Say you're over there, tile, you're big into black jack,
love it. You have a really good hint and you say,
all right, I want to bet this kidney.

Speaker 4 (27:08):
He wakes up and it says call nine one one
on his chest and red lipstick.

Speaker 2 (27:11):
Yeah, what do you do? Like, I'm gonna bet this
kidney transplant or the actually your kidney, the kidney and
the table and you wake up in a bathtub full
of ice.

Speaker 4 (27:18):
They give you a kidney shape marker to put on
the table.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
Your organs are no good here, sir? That'd be kind
of cool, Actually I bet that. Yeah. I mean, if
I got another one twenty against the dealer six, I'd
throw that kidney on the table. You would absolutely, Oh
my god, it might be.

Speaker 4 (27:33):
A good check in. Would you Is there anybody' actually
give a kidney to god?

Speaker 2 (27:36):
He would do it?

Speaker 4 (27:41):
Uh? Speaking of giving a kidney or even taking one
or something that might be worth one on the black market,
what was your police are investigating after a man allegedly
stole a binder full of Pokemon cards worth over fifteen
hundred from Otaku Sikhai, which is a gaming lounge in
card store that just recently opened on Parkov. They've been
working so hard. This report says fifteen hundred. The owner,
John Lee, posted an Instagram video and he estimates it's

(28:03):
around three thousand dollars. He had some rare cards, some
retro cards, and if you look at the surveillance video,
this guy knew exact He clearly had cased the store.
He knew what he was doing to try to shield
the visibility, just slipping the cards out of the pockets.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
She's like the Ocean's eleven amaic Pokemon. I have no idea.

Speaker 4 (28:19):
Yeah, there's still a lot of money in Pokemon trading.
That suspect reportedly asked to see the binder, slipped part
one of them into his pocket and then stole cards
out of another one and left the shop. The owner
said that he had seen that guy in there before
when it was slower, so we clearly came into case
the joint and then went back in when it was
busier and then they realized what happened. Police are asking

(28:40):
anyone within photo come forward, but the owner, John Lee,
had this to say, where.

Speaker 6 (28:44):
I'd you re inventory of everything in the store, make
sure this guy didn't take anything else, make sure we
weren't hit withing a group of people, and hopefully we
can figure out a way to prevent this from happening
in the future.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
The Pokemon black market.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
Yeah, it exists. It's very real.

Speaker 7 (29:02):
People like really invest heavily into Pokemon. Yes, Jack was
telling us about people that I don't know that he knows.
There's something that just spend thousands and thousands of dollars
on this stuff?

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Is that right?

Speaker 6 (29:15):
Yeah?

Speaker 12 (29:15):
They at the supermarkets. Uh, they have the vending machines, right,
Like if you go to Shaws, you'll see they have
like a giant they call them PokeStops kind of from
the game. But people will like hang out at these
vending machines when they get restocked, waiting for them to
get restocked, and the second they are, they just they

(29:35):
buy everything in there.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
What kind of life is that?

Speaker 4 (29:39):
Shock? They're hoping to get a.

Speaker 2 (29:40):
God pack the god pack what's that worth?

Speaker 4 (29:44):
Uh? It depends, but they're they're usually high riarity cards.
It's it's I think one in two thousand, I think
is your chances.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
I have a ten billions autograph baseball.

Speaker 4 (29:52):
Oh you got excited.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
I can't believe you just at that. It's the shiny cards,
That's what they are. The rarest cards are called the
shiny the shiny ones. People collect weird stuff. Man, Like
I said, I know a guy who's got a whole
room full of these things, and over the years would
collect weird stuff like cabbage patch kids.

Speaker 4 (30:08):
Ninja stars.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Yeah, but he would always collect stuff and then sell it.
He had a whole room of Pokemon things. I was like,
what are you doing? What are you doing? Yeah, but
like all he's gonna be worth.

Speaker 4 (30:22):
And I'm like, all right, I like that kind of
guy about those babies. Have those work out for everybody, right,
And he.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
Had those two of course he preck show. Yeah, exactly expensive,
one say this guy is. But I'm just saying, all right.

Speaker 4 (30:36):
Judge, judge over here, fifty six degrees in Boston. We'll
see a high high of fifty seven today with lots
and lots of rain. We got the Nor'east to it's around.
If you left those Halloween decorations up, lay them down
on the ground, I'm Daniel, that's your download yet.

Speaker 2 (30:51):
Seven seconds of sports with Tyler. Well, don't look now,
but we have a four and two football team and
an undefeated hockey team. Right wow. We're not hoisting Lombardi
and Lord Stanley just yet, but it's a nice start.
By the way, this year, the Patriots have already matched
last year's win total for the past couple of years,
a couple of four, which I don't know, what's where
is that sad? Is it great? I don't know. You

(31:11):
be the judge. But this was an interesting week because
going into it I was expecting them to lose, just
because history has shown after a huge win like they
had in Buffalo last Sunday night, it's the letdown game.

Speaker 7 (31:22):
Well in the first half too, the defense was kind
of spotty there, spotty.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
I was like, all right, this is the gonna lay
an egg this week, I understand. But they did not,
and Drake May shined once again. This dude is coming
into his own right now. I love it. Another great
week through for two hundred and sixty one yards, three touchdowns,
and more importantly, zero picks none one of the top
quarterbacks in the league. In the league, I'm not gonna
say it, but I've actually heard the word don't of

(31:48):
the letters I should say don't, don't, don't don't A
little early for that, but that's the level he's playing
at right now. Might last year through ten picks, he's
only a two right now. Different guy, different guy right now.
Kayshaun Booty also had a great day ninety three receiving yards,
two touchdowns. And he's a guy like me, very self aware.

(32:11):
And here's the proof.

Speaker 11 (32:12):
Yeah, I would say I wasn't always the person I
wanted to be three four years ago. Like I just
said in the meeting, you know, I had a lot
of off the field stuff, a lot.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
Of concerns, character concerns.

Speaker 11 (32:23):
But I mean I feel like, like I said, I
wasn't well I wanted to be a couple of years ago,
and I feel like everything finally coming together now.

Speaker 2 (32:30):
So I mean it's great. I watched the growth tremendously.
What was he collecting Pokemon cards years ago? He understands
what he is. Though I admitted to you guys last week,
I'm hard to handle.

Speaker 4 (32:39):
You are very much.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
He understands that he's becoming a different guy. The word
of the day, Booty, there you go, meccha leck a
high mech a heiny ho pop. Douglas had a great
day too. He added a touchdown. But nobody had more
fun yesterday than the referees. Nineteen penalties. It was just
like Flag Day terrible. It was ridiculous. Eleven on the Pats,
eight on the Saints. Who cares though we win? Twenty

(33:02):
five nineteen was the final. Now we're going to Tennessee
next week and then the Browns and then the Falcons
at home. Very favorable schedule. Vrabel against his old team.
Could be seven and two by the time we get
through the beginning of the off just saying. And the
best thing I realized last night was if the Bills
lose tonight, Pats are in first place. Here we go.
Other NFL notes, Panthers beat the Cowboys because it's always

(33:24):
fun to say that the Cowboys lose. The Colts won again.
They're five and one. That's their best start since two
thousand and nine when they started the season at fourteen
and oh who saw that coming? By the way, with
the Colts, I know I didn't. The Rams beat the
Lamar Jackson List Ravens. The Ravens are now say it
with me one in five, Yes, I love it. Hate
the Ravens and the Bucks beat the forty nine ers

(33:46):
to move to five and one. The other guy getting
the MVP chatter, Baker Mayfield. All right, Bruins are three
and oh they beat the Sabers Saturday at the Garden.
Tonight they host Tampa Bay, and then they go on
a three game road trip. And finally, this was the
most interesting moment of the weekend. I thought was College
game Day on Saturday, after all the games have been
played as later at night, they're at the desk. Here,
Kirk herbs Street, you got Nick Saban, you got Pat McAfee.

(34:06):
Kirk Herbstreet's going on and on about Belichick and how
much he's dedicated to this whole thing at u n C.
And then Pat McAfee points something out.

Speaker 10 (34:14):
He is completely bought into what's happening with this team
and with this program and him leaving or the idea
answer that I can't but answer that.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
He has to be watching right now.

Speaker 4 (34:29):
That's literally Bill Belichick calling Kirk Kurbs.

Speaker 10 (34:32):
He probably has something to say, Yeah, he probably don't,
do you think it was He didn't say it wasn't.

Speaker 4 (34:39):
That's why I think it was right interesting.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
Why would he call him in the middle. He's on
the air. It's not think he's going to take the call.

Speaker 4 (34:45):
Why don't you know him doing a show right?

Speaker 2 (34:48):
I don't know. It is odd that it would be him.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
Maybe he called him on purpose because he knew he
was doing a show, so we wanted to leave a voicemail.
He didn't actually want to talk to Kirk.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
It's interesting. It just leaves a lot of and what's
going on?

Speaker 4 (35:01):
So do you hear?

Speaker 2 (35:03):

Speaker 4 (35:26):
So this is something that I have run into in
the past with a different type of celebration. But it's
about the obligation of having to throw a baby shower
for your friend and things get out of control with
the costs.

Speaker 7 (35:40):
It's just a small gathering, just just a few friends.
It's it's not a big deal. Yeah, all right out
of control with any punch throwing her.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
Not the way you're thinking. Honey, it's not my wrestling melee.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Oh it's not.

Speaker 4 (35:52):
It's not nude Soong wrestling in jello at a baby shower.

Speaker 2 (35:56):

Speaker 2 (36:44):
Oh Danielle, here we go. Okay, here we go.

Speaker 4 (36:47):
We got an email, another anonymous one, am I the
A hole? For lying to my pregnant best friend about
the RSVP deadline for her baby sprinkle, I offered to
throw my best friend a small uncle for her second baby.
For those of you who are so, when you have
your first baby, you have a baby shower, you get

(37:07):
showered with gifts. When you have your second baby, you
usually have all the stuff from the first baby, unless
you get like the Irish twin thing and they're both infants.
You'll have cribs, strollers, So you just need some of
the accoutraments to sprinkle. You've got clothes, maybe you need
the wipes, the diapers, all that.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
What if you go for the trifecta of children you're
up to.

Speaker 4 (37:26):
Three now, then I don't know what to tell you.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
Tinkle dampness.

Speaker 4 (37:33):
There's a dampness.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
I never heard the term sprinkle never.

Speaker 4 (37:35):
Well, you know how many baby showers have you been to?

Speaker 7 (37:38):
Which is a great side subject Guys getting invited to babies.

Speaker 2 (37:42):
Stop with the jack and jail be at dolphin.

Speaker 4 (37:46):
No, only time men need to show up at the
baby shower, unless, of course, you know same sex couple
other things. That's I'm just jogging traditional like old school
male and female couple. The only time the guy needs
to show up is to bring the gifts back home
that you load every thing up in the car and
you do the pickup exactly.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
Drop her off, pick her up. It's a horrible, horrible
everybody wants to go to that. No, but you have
to go or else you get the face correct. So,
speaking from personal experience, what am I doing here? Okay?

Speaker 4 (38:16):
All right, so let's get back on track. Okay and
restart another explainant.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
Wow, that's such a beautiful diaper Genie. Okay, go ahead.

Speaker 4 (38:23):
You and the diaper Genie have a very tenuous relationship. Okay.
I offered to throw my best friend a small sprinkle
for her second baby. She was so grateful until the
guest list ballooned from a few people to over forty
because of family politics. When I told her that was
way too many, she said about fifteen wouldn't show up anyway.

(38:43):
Sure enough, only twenty three people a RSVP great Now,
a week before the event, she keeps asking who hasn't
responded and says she's going to reach out to them
personally get answers. I think that's rude and overstepping. The
RSVP deadline was two weeks ago, and I've already spent
a ton of money on this. So I told a
little white life, I said, I need the final head
count earlier than I actually do, just so she wouldn't

(39:04):
have time to gilt another ten people into coming. Am
I the a hole for doing that? Or just setting
a boundary before this sprinkle turns into a full on storm.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
I see what she's saying. She's thinking that they're gonna
guilt them.

Speaker 4 (39:16):
Yeah, yeah, said, Oh we didn't get an RSVP. Are
you coming? Oh?

Speaker 2 (39:20):
No, I'll be there. I'm sorry. Did I forget? It
must have got lost in the mail.

Speaker 4 (39:24):
That gets expensive. That gets so expensive, I remember. I mean,
like I only say I don't do wedding parties because
it's just so much drama. Because now at least they
pick out, they'll they'll do the whole You pick out
your own bridesmaid's dress. It just needs to be this color,
but whatever style. I love that because the same dress

(39:45):
doesn't look good on everybody, right, So when you go
with ten bridesmaids from a buck ten to two forty,
you cannot find one dress that looks good on all
those bodies. It's just not gonna happen. You can't, you can't.
And then there's the expense. So like years ago we
threw from my friend Kendrick's wedding, we threw her bridle
shower and it was like this nickel and diming thing
where like none of us had any money. We were

(40:06):
in our twenties and it was like, all right, what's
the cheapest thing? All right, well we're gonna get three
three trays of egg salad sandwiches, one of tuna and
one of chicken. I'm like, who is getting three trays
of egg salad sandwiches for a shower where this is.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
Not gonna happen. It's a lot.

Speaker 4 (40:20):
Yes, yeah, so it gets very expensive. And then if
you're throwing the sprinkle, it's like you got to have
everybody at your house, or you got to pay for
a venue. You got to get the shaping dishes. It's
a lot.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
But if the deadline is passed and you haven't heard
from somebody, that's it.

Speaker 4 (40:34):
You need. You need time to plan. We can't be
right making centerpieces at the last second because sixteen other
people decided to say yes, I don't think she's the
a hole you got you there's you need time to prep.
You got to set a boundary. You set a hard
deadline onto that RSVP and take the message.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
Okay, you didn't respond. You didn't want to be the
person to say no, I'm not going just like I'll
just I'll just let it disappear. I'll send a gift.

Speaker 4 (40:57):
That's I'm all about sending a gift. Also beside sending,
you know, the guy to pick up the stuff, we
also don't need to sit there and open the gifts.
We don't need to sit there. And so we're like, oh,
look at the custom one who did this, Alinda, thank you, Yes,
we love at you. Linda's nodding in the back. She
can't even hear. The hearing aids aren't in. It's a

(41:17):
whole performative thing.

Speaker 2 (41:18):
Oh, it's a red Sox onesie, have brunch.

Speaker 4 (41:21):
Half some mimosas, leave the gifts, say congratulations, touch the belly,
ask permission first, and then be on your way.

Speaker 2 (41:26):
Just the way you described this whole situation. Why does
a guy have to be there? It's not necessary, but
yet we're dragged there. Listen, I've always been against that.
I've always been again.

Speaker 4 (41:39):
And then when people do, like the Jack and Joe,
like everybody come it's a party. No, it's still a
pain in the ass, nobody wants to go. And then, oh,
you got to have a gender reveal party, don't too.
I gotta come to that now. I got to bring
a gift for that. You're in five hundred bucks before
the kids even fully.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
Just stated I don't think she's an ahole.

Speaker 4 (41:56):
I don't think so.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
Just let's keep things moving here. What's done is and
go on. Yes plan. Accordingly, she did offer to throw
this party though, right, yes.

Speaker 4 (42:06):
Because she first line of the email, I offered to
throw my best friend d ay small sprinkle for a
second baby like she was probably thinking, like it's gonna
be their friends, the sister in law, the mother in law,
the mother, and like two random coworkers that she actually
gets along some.

Speaker 2 (42:22):
Yacht rock playing gently in the background. I don't know, man,
I think the No, she's not an a hole. But
it's just you offered to do this. You got it.
You know drama's gonna come with it. You know, it's
no such thing as like a small anything when it
comes to this stuff. So it's on you now. I
don't know the bride's gonna want. What the bride's gonna want,

(42:44):
and you have to do it.

Speaker 4 (42:45):
With the bride the mom mom, But you have to
draw a line somewhere. You have to be able to
prep like this is why deadlines exist.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
For a reason. But again, she offered to do this.
It's not like she was forced to do it, and
then the mom is forcing her to add more. She
offer for to do it.

Speaker 4 (43:00):
I know, I get it.

Speaker 2 (43:01):
So yeah, I'm needed to be rules.

Speaker 4 (43:04):
I live in a society.

Speaker 2 (43:06):
She's in the wrong. I'm sorry she is. She has
to be. She agreed to do it, not agreed, she
offered to do it. You gotta go with what you
said you were going to do this.

Speaker 4 (43:15):
I don't know that you. I don't. I don't know
that you can really understand these dynamics being in the position.
I don't think you, either of you. I mean, Chuck
has had But that's my point.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
She does understand the dynamics. So she had to know
that this was not going to go the way she
planned based on history.

Speaker 4 (43:31):
But you also have to want but you need time
to prep for that because if she's got to order
food ahead of time.

Speaker 7 (43:40):
You offered, you gotta get the sheet cake from stopping shop.
You know, they get something written on there.

Speaker 2 (43:44):
She's still.

Speaker 4 (43:47):
She misspelled it you offered post pandemic. Everything is up
in the air.

Speaker 6 (43:51):
You know what.

Speaker 7 (43:52):
I am so checked out on this because my eyes
glaze over when you say shower and Jack and Jill
and sprinkle.

Speaker 2 (43:59):
I have been in that situation. Come walking out. Are
you gonna wear that?

Speaker 11 (44:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (44:04):
I'm gonna wear that? What well, what's wrong with it?

Speaker 6 (44:06):
No?

Speaker 2 (44:06):
You're gonna dress up a little bit dressed up shirt.
It's a Saturday, it's two o'clock in the afternoon. What
am I doing? Why am I going?

Speaker 4 (44:14):
I love when they schedule it like right in the
middle of the Paths game too, you say fabulous, that's
just coolat timing.

Speaker 7 (44:25):
And if you go somewhere where there's a bar and
there are guys there, everyone's in the bar in the game, don't.

Speaker 2 (44:30):
Don't go in there. What do you want me to do?

Speaker 4 (44:32):
It's one hour, it's one out. You get to do
this every week.

Speaker 2 (44:35):
She's opening the gifts.

Speaker 4 (44:36):
You're on the couchy, hand down your shorts. It's one hour.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
I'm at one of the gates of hell right now.
Why am I here? Exactly six seven hundred point seven
leave us a talk back on the free iHeartRadio app.
Who is the A Hole?

Speaker 7 (44:51):
Boston's Classic Rock ZLX Boston's Classic Rock one hundred points
out at w ZLEX. Chuck in the Morning Show with
Daniel Murr and Tyler were in a baby shower situation
for am I the A Hole? Just to recamp quickly, our.

Speaker 4 (45:05):
Emailer offered to throw a sprinkle for her best friend
who's pregnant. Though, of those of you who don't know,
the first thing you have is a baby shower, and
you have a second, third, subsequent kids, you do like
a baby sprinkle just to get some extras because you
usually have the big stuff car seat, stroller, crib.

Speaker 7 (45:19):
Is it called a shower because you're showering them with
gifts cracks? Yes, No, I just wondered that I never
heearw that.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
Yeah, I put it together. Yeah, okay at all.

Speaker 4 (45:30):
So she offered to throw a small one. She thought
it was like, you know, fifteen twenty people, then the
guest list balloons to forty people, and then the mom
to be is like, oh no, most of these, like
fifteen twenty these people won't come anyway. I just have
to invite them because of family politics, which I think
everybody understands that absolutely Vietnam of the situation, so only
thirty to twenty three people rsvp', but a bunch didn't

(45:53):
so our emailer. It's a week before the event, and
the mom keeps asking the emailer, hey, like, who can
you let me know who has an RSVP so I
can go check whether or not they're coming. And our
emailer said, hey, I got to set a hard deadline here,
like I set an rs VP date, it has long
since passed.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
TikTok TikTok, dounski.

Speaker 4 (46:11):
If they haven't replied, they're not coming. That's it. And
she thinks the mom is going to like guilt these
other people into comings, so now she's gonna have thirty
thirty two thirty three people and she's she's like, well,
I kind of lied about the deadline she said I needed.
I told her I needed the final headcount earlier than
I actually do because there's always a few people that
slip in at the last second.

Speaker 7 (46:31):
Because you got to know how many egg salid sandwiches
you gotta make with the little sprinkle papri cons.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
Oh, I like those Oh no.

Speaker 4 (46:39):
Devilgs, no devil eggs, get out and get Yeah, you
need to work in Pelosi.

Speaker 2 (46:46):
What matter would do.

Speaker 4 (46:48):
So she wants to know if she's the a hole
for doing that or if she's just set in a
boundary for her own sanity.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
Yeah, understandable. I think you know.

Speaker 7 (46:55):
You got to play by the rules. Yeah, time tables
are set, cut off. Data is here.

Speaker 2 (47:00):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (47:02):
We need to get the chairs, Yes, we need chairs.
We need to fold in the cheese. There's a lot.

Speaker 2 (47:08):
It's always cheese folding.

Speaker 4 (47:10):
It's always cheese folding. I don't know. I don't know
how else to explain it to you. Just folded in.

Speaker 2 (47:13):
We have to invite the boyfriends and the husbands.

Speaker 4 (47:15):
No, we don't. Don't do that.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
Yeah, but they will, No, they will stop.

Speaker 4 (47:19):
No, it's fun because it's just everybody will come. It's
like it's like a party. And we'll have the Patriots
game onto the background at the bar on the one
thirteen inch television next to you, the bar station, the
service bar.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
That's right.

Speaker 7 (47:31):
The Patriots be taken on the Titans. Yeah, the team
that fired Vrabel. So it's a big game and they're
going to continue what they would be like five in
a row if they if they would win that all right,
So it's a big game. It's a huge game.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
I can't see it.

Speaker 4 (47:45):
Sixteen guys in one mass hole brought in a pad, sweatshirt,
huddled around that TV.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
That's it.

Speaker 4 (47:50):
You know exactly what she sounds like and what she
looks like. So we got a couple of text messages
on this in favor of both situations. One person who's
in favor of our listeners is, boundaries don't make you
the a hole, They make you sane. It gets smart.
Took me a very long time in my life to
learn boundary setting. Another one in favor of our listener, honestly,

(48:11):
good for you. People forget how expensive things these things
are when they're not paying for them.

Speaker 2 (48:15):
That's right.

Speaker 4 (48:17):
And then against our emailer, one person five away text,
he says, you sound kind of controlling here. If she
wants more people, who cares? Seventy eight one text says
she's pregnant, cut her some slack hormones, and party planning
equals chaos.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
That's an interesting way to put it. You left out
the best text, though, What the one that said Tyler's right,
you offered to throw the party. Now you got to
deal with it. Why didn't you just read that one
that's weird.

Speaker 4 (48:42):
I don't see that one.

Speaker 2 (48:44):
From seven eight one. I'll repeat it. Tyler's right as well.
Shut up.

Speaker 7 (48:49):
So they you should be able to go right up
to like an hour before it starts. You should be
able to RSVP, is what you're saying.

Speaker 4 (48:55):
Yeah, it's fine, we'll just door dash them Chick.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
Fil a thousand times. I'll say it again. You offered
to throw the party. You gotta deal with what's coming.

Speaker 4 (49:03):
Take some of this food and look it's it's nobody's
gonna eat this. Take some with you.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
You can always go to the market basket last minute,
get the sheet cake on a Sunday. Are you hot?
You've been to market.

Speaker 4 (49:13):
Basket once in your life?

Speaker 2 (49:15):
Wegmans whatever on a Sunday. You gotta do it. You
you throw the party.

Speaker 7 (49:20):
Say you invite us out for a big morning show
dinner in the North End one of your favorite places
over there.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
All right, you've reserved like the back room. Really cool.

Speaker 7 (49:28):
Yeah that costs you extra money and all that. And
I say, you know what, I don't want to do
that on Saturday. Now, I'll show up on Wednesday. What
changing the rules?

Speaker 2 (49:38):
That doesn't make any sense. I'm changing the rules it's
too late already. I'm throwing the mint. It's too late.

Speaker 3 (49:46):
You can't.

Speaker 11 (49:49):
Party.

Speaker 5 (49:49):
You just said that.

Speaker 2 (49:50):
Doesn't make any sense.

Speaker 9 (49:51):
You just said it.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
I'm throwing the Saturday and you're saying you want to
go on Wednesday now because rules don't well, go you
have fun at the dinner. We're gonna have dinner for
Saturday night. Instead. You're not going to show up to
the dinner you were invited to.

Speaker 4 (50:02):
I'm sure party is what he said doesn't matter.

Speaker 2 (50:07):
You should have said is if people showed up chaos,
it's just cases the right world six one hundred point seven.
