Speaker 6 (03:14):
Well, never mind the cloudy weather mascot has released some
information that should make your summer a little better. Not
expects some major delays happening between May thirtieth and June second,
and also June twentieth and twenty third, because they're doing
a bridge replacement project at the Newton Western Bridge over.

Speaker 2 (03:32):
The pipe that is so awful right there.

Speaker 6 (03:34):
That is going to be a mess. They're going to
have one travel lane on the Pike eastbound and buses
and NBA TA and M track. So it's going to
be a mess.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Oh my god. For that, it's so bad. They're putting
in a bridge or something. Yeah, and they've been working
on that for way. It's just a cluster.

Speaker 6 (03:50):
I mean, we do need to fix the infrastructure, but
that's uh. Those are both weekend projects.

Speaker 7 (03:55):
No Metro Westerns are going to have a hard time, Chuck.
It's always something great.

Speaker 6 (04:00):
Not great. Two members of Boston may Or Michelle Who's
administration were fired after being arrested on domestic violence charges.
Marwa Kudnazar and Chu Lan Huang were involved in a
fight in a Chinatown apartment on May fifteenth. An internal
review cleared other sitting employees of any policy violations. Karen
Reid disputed SUV data after forensic testimony in her second
murder trial yesterday. Experts claim her lexus recorded events around

(04:24):
the time John O'Keefe was killed outside of home in Canton.
Reid maintains the data is wrong and the timeline doesn't match.
Here's Karen outside of the courthouse yesterday.

Speaker 9 (04:32):
John's phone is still moving. He's still walking after a
trigger on a common trigger.

Speaker 5 (04:37):
On my lexus.

Speaker 6 (04:39):
Karen Reid leaving the courthouse is probably my favorite interaction
because it's always like Alan Jackson's always like moving out
of the way. He's like, ready we get a little statement. Everybody,
all the news people are hone in and she's got
her thing ready to go, and as she's.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Saying that, he is staring at her, like get this right.

Speaker 6 (04:56):
I want to get in on one of the dinners.
He's making these dinners. I don't know how kaya's time.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Twelve people making.

Speaker 6 (05:02):
A file A for twelve really yeah, like Stanley Tucci
and the Jacks. Authority submicsion a warrant for twenty seven
year old Andrew Oprien of Belmont, accusing him of smashing
your prius with a hatchet. He's the hatchet guy. I'm
shocked it took that long to identify this guy.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Really, but they don't have him.

Speaker 6 (05:23):
They don't have him yet as of last night. Off
the Double Jack. I don't think they've picked him up overnight,
but he is facing assault and property destruction charges.

Speaker 2 (05:30):
He sure is.

Speaker 6 (05:33):
And finally, Brookline police are warning residents after a spike
in Coyote signing. Some animals have been chasing dogs and
approaching homes. Residents say the coyotes have grown bolder, lingering
in yards and refusing the scare easily. Thorty's advice keeping
pets leash and making loud noises if confronted. It's it's
pop season. They're out looking for food. The babies are
gonna start coming out into their dead next month. Nah,

(05:56):
don't feed him. Make a lot of noise them. That's
what you have to do because they've become habituated.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
That's when I let the cat out.

Speaker 6 (06:03):
Charles Air, what I hate that cat?

Speaker 2 (06:05):
He likes going outside, He stays close. He hates that cat.
I don't hate the cat.

Speaker 6 (06:11):
Do you hate the cat?

Speaker 2 (06:12):
The cat hates me?

Speaker 6 (06:14):
Fair but forty nine degrees in Boston right now, I
have fifty three on tap today. It's gonna suck for
like the next week.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Get ready for it.

Speaker 6 (06:22):
Danielle Pitcher Teload Coah one.

Speaker 5 (06:25):
Point seven seconds of Sports with Tyler.

Speaker 7 (06:28):
Right Socks played the Mets last night at Fenway. It
was dramatic. Yes, all right, let's start with Walker Buehler.
First game off the fifteen day. I l We're in
the third inning.

Speaker 10 (06:41):
And sproutagos. Here's the throwdown. Here's the tag. It's say
Buehler getting after it with Esterbrook to home played umpire
and Abaya's out there to push him back.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
He's talking the less that picture they called lest we
called it a ball.

Speaker 5 (06:55):
It was right down in the middle walker Bueller sets
up to when he's on the nerd. But when the
mask comes off and you you're very confrontational. He has
something to say for you from the rubber, that's fine,
but when the mask comes off and you're aggressively coming
at him, it's very combative.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
And it's learned it.

Speaker 10 (07:11):
Kora has got one too, because alex Cora has been
tossed out as the rook gets the picture.

Speaker 7 (07:16):
And the manager, wow, third inning, Yeah, that's the third inning,
the starting starter and the manager, who, by the way,
is coming off a day off.

Speaker 2 (07:27):
He gets tost graduation.

Speaker 7 (07:30):
In two games, alex Cora managed what two innings?

Speaker 2 (07:34):
Two plus innings. That's it. That's it.

Speaker 7 (07:37):
But that was Merlino said it best in that clip.
The mask came off, the umpire was combative. He came
out past the plate aggressively towards the mound, like if
you're pissed at something. Buler said, okay, but you he
escalated that, and he didn't need to. He threw him
out so fast, so fast, so he was gone and
starting pitcher. No score in the game, third inning, you

(07:59):
know what, I was very interesting about that. So Bueller
gets tossed and he doesn't go after him to argue more.
He just immediately wanted the thug out as weird as
I gotta said, I'm out of here. Yeah, all right,
things got better after that. We go to the fifth
with the socks up at the plate, Fitch slinging a.

Speaker 10 (08:12):
High rude left field. That is back there. That is
back there.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
It is gone.

Speaker 10 (08:19):
Not yans will touch a ball on the Red Sox
st first side of Fenway.

Speaker 7 (08:24):
And then you didn't have a chance to breathe, because
two batters later, King Roffie steps up to the plate.

Speaker 10 (08:29):
Redfield evers he's lying down to take a ball four
and he go one, swagging all them golf to left.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
That's high. Indeed, that's back there. Hell does gone. The
Red Sox whip their second.

Speaker 10 (08:42):
Home run of the inning to nothing.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Do not attempt to move him to first base. Please
just let him diach for the rest of his life.
Such a zone right now.

Speaker 7 (08:51):
That was his tenth home run of the year and
that was all the offense the Socks needed as the
bullpen took over after Bully got tossed and kept the
Zeros on the board right till the end. Like he said,
to nothing win and they take the first two games
from the Mets in that series, with the finale tonight
at six forty five. Garrett Crochet on the hill for
the good guys. Conference finals started last night in both
the NHL and NBA. Oklahoma City Thunder pounded the Timberwolves

(09:14):
by twenty six in Game one of that series, and
the Florida Panthers in the NHL shmoked the Carolina Hurricanes
five to two in their Game one. Finally, two items
from the NFL owners have given their blessing for players
to pursue their dreams of Olympic goals. They get to
play flag football in the twenty twenty eight Los Angeles Olympics.
And Roger Goodell this is the big one, he says,

(09:36):
within five years we could be seeing sixteen international regular
season games, six flag football.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
No no else in the NFL. Yeah, side note, all
over the world.

Speaker 7 (09:46):
Five years from now wants sixteen international regular season games.

Speaker 2 (09:50):
Players hate.

Speaker 7 (09:52):
That basically means it's going to be an international game
almost every single week. It's a lot of fly minds,
bad news for players. Yeah, they're not gonna like that's
want some Tyler and this is the Chuck Nolan Morning
Show on WZX.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Your thirty sections of fame. As a talkback away, leave
us a message with the talkback feature on the Free
I Heard Radio app. Then make w CLX you number
one pre set.

Speaker 8 (10:12):
It's a Chuck no Online show on Boston's Classic Rock.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yesterday we lost one of the greatest American beer drinkers
of all time. I poured one out for Norm last day.
I did during the Red Sox game. Did you when
my nets and app wasn't you know? Freezing out by time?
I don't know what you hate more, your cat or
the neon app.

Speaker 6 (10:33):
I don't know one of those more expensive.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
We are going to remember. George went with some of
his finest moments from Cheers coming up from CLX Boston's
Classic Rock one hundred point seven w CX Chuck Nolan
Morning Show with Daniel Murr and Tyler. George went Norm
from Cheers passed away as seventy seven. I've heard times

(11:00):
a number staring around seventy six died in asleep. They're
not saying what happened exactly, but of course he's on
Cheers for years. Was very shy.

Speaker 7 (11:11):
I think norm from Cheers might be a top five
TV character of all time, all time. He's pretty high
up there. I chuck him up there with the Archie
Bunkers of the world, and wow, George Costanzo have.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
To flesh this list out of holding this.

Speaker 6 (11:27):
I need to know what your.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Archie Bunker is. A main character. George Went was a
character actor, kind of a side character. Love him just
to sand bar sitting at the edge of the bar,
love them just to say. And yesterday at the Bull
and Finch, the original Cheers, they set up a memorial
there at the end of the bar. They had the
empty stool, the mug of beer, candle, and some flowers.
From where that.

Speaker 6 (11:52):
Listen, I'm sure this probably fell on some poor day
manager's shoulders that where they were like, hey, George Went died,
we need to get some flowers. Why don't you go
down to the seven eleven. But the arrangement that's on
the bar is like I can spot it a mile away.
It's the most expensive version of the cheapest flower arrangement
you can get from like one of the delivery places,
because it's like all carnations in like one rows.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
You know why a guy did that, of course.

Speaker 6 (12:16):
Because there's no like, there's no fluff for rhyme or
reason or arrangement. They just stuck like two things of
flowers from Trader Jose and a bos do.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
We have a base back there and Jack Frost nipping it?

Speaker 3 (12:27):
You know?

Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yeah, Now let's get Joe Beer nipping at my liver.
H somebody put together a compilation of every entrance he
made on every single episode Comedy Jry.

Speaker 6 (12:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (12:40):
He would always walk in, hang up his coat on
the on the coat rack right there, and he would
say his line, here's just a few.

Speaker 11 (12:49):
Norman, how you doing, cut the small duck and give
me a beer. I was life truthing your nom I
just ran over its dog.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Norman, start your taps, everybody.

Speaker 11 (13:14):

Was he going, no, that's rich and.

Speaker 10 (13:26):
Everybody?

Speaker 12 (13:27):
Oh, Norman, my nipples, it's freezy out there.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
His death came thirty two years to the day that
Cheers ended. They were eleven year run shut ups.

Speaker 6 (13:42):
That was that, you know. The series finale of Cheers
was one of those like it was such a big
deal because you remember they had that big thing in
downtown Boston. Oh yeah, all the actors and actresses were
hanging out of the windows and the building above the
bowling fence.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Yes on.

Speaker 6 (13:57):
Oh my god, be so And I still have the
VHS tape with the recording of that was this whole thing.
The news stations went live.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
It was it was Jay Leno doing the Tonight Show.

Speaker 7 (14:09):
Live, and they were all ripped on the Tonight Show,
every single one of them. I remember seeing an interview
with the map I take it like on the Cheers
thirtieth Anniversary DVD or whatever, and they were saying they
were just drinking all day.

Speaker 2 (14:20):
There was nothing else to do.

Speaker 7 (14:22):
They were in between news interviews with Channel five and
Channel four, so they just kept boozing.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
And by the time they got to tape with Leno,
they will waste it and Leno completely lost control of it.
It was so sloppy. It was great. It was awesome.

Speaker 6 (14:35):
Ninety three million people watched that up. Wow, ninety three million.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
I watched it. I remember, and George went, there's also
another actor connection to him that you were saying earlier.

Speaker 7 (14:45):
I didn't know this until a few months ago, but
he's Jason Sidecas.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
His uncle had known.

Speaker 6 (14:49):
Oh yeah, I got it.

Speaker 7 (14:52):
He got him the the what do you call it?
The audition for SNL because he knew Lawn Michaels because
he had been on with the Chicago Bears.

Speaker 3 (14:58):
Bit.

Speaker 2 (14:58):

McCoy Stadium in Patucket. They found something, Oh, they found something.

Speaker 7 (16:00):
It's still craving.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
We'll get into it next. Boston's Classic Rock CLX Classic
Rock one hundred point seven Double z Lex Chuck Nol
The Morning Show with Danielle Murr and Tyler. This is
the week they're finishing tearing down McCoy Stadium in Patucket.
We need some sad music for this. The end of
an era, man, it is. I think every kid from

(16:25):
around here went there. Parents are taking there because they're
so cheap. Zillion times I went to McCoy. My god,
so Wade Boggs play their big Yeah. Marty Barrett, Marty Barrett,
Marty bar just be naring all those guys. I just
picture a young Tyler. It's got his Patucket socks, had
a skew, you know.

Speaker 7 (16:46):
Long socks close to all the way up to close
to the knee, with stripes around him on. He's got
his many batting helmet of ice cream in his hands,
oversized mit hoping for a foul ball, nose running. I
would never get the Patucket Red Sox helmet though. I
would always get like a visiting team, like the Toledo
mud Hens for the collection called the.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Rochester Red Wings Es. So the end of this baseball
here there used to be a ballpark. Yeah, they found something,
a time capsule in the stadium's cornerstone, dating back to
November third, nineteen forty. They buried it in nineteen forty.

(17:27):
They're going to open it up on the anniversary of
the longest game in the history of mankind. June twenty third,
twenty twenty five is the anniversary, forty fourth anniversary of
the game that you say that you were at. Yes,
you were there. Who were they playing? I don't even remember.
Do you remember? That's a great question. I don't even remember,
because they played until like three o'clock in the morning
and then had to say that's enough for today and

(17:49):
come back later. Rochester Red Wings, the Rochester Red Wings. Yeah,
there's a young Tyler there. Yeah, the oversized med YEP.
So for the anniversary, that's the date they're going to
open this thing up. What are they going to find
in there? Nineteen forty This is a dangerous game to play.

Speaker 6 (18:03):
It's gonna be like al Capone's Vault, where there was nothing.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
There has to be something.

Speaker 7 (18:08):
I mean, is Galdo coming down for this. The date
is chiseled on it AD nineteen forty. What if there's
something in it that's like gross?

Speaker 6 (18:17):
What do they think it would be?

Speaker 2 (18:19):
You don't know. What if it's like a movie. They
open it up and it's just, oh, it's the end
of the world stuff, some evil force comes out. You
can remember this was nineteen forty. What were people thinking
about nineteen forty. It's pre World War two that they
would want to bury. There's a jar of Buddy Cianci
spaghetti sauce in there.

Speaker 7 (18:36):
You know, if this was like the year two thousand,
that would be true. Probably they say there's a second one.
They're still looking for it. There's a second time capsule
somewhere out there.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yeah. What if it's like a body part? I don't
think it's Why would they put a body part in
a time capsule? I don't know.

Speaker 7 (18:51):
Maybe they were trying to send a message to somebody.
Could be a thumb, and you don't know.

Speaker 6 (18:55):
I mean, if it weren't Rhode Island, I guess then again.

Speaker 7 (18:58):
Yeah, think about where you are right now, Providence in
the time capsule.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
It could be anything, could be a tongue.

Speaker 6 (19:04):
There's no tongue in there.

Speaker 2 (19:06):
They try to send a message in nineteen forty.

Speaker 6 (19:09):
You're trying to send a message to the future.

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Yes, get out of here.

Speaker 7 (19:12):
Maybe they wanted to leave, you know, a memorabilia of
like what a penis looked like in nineteen forty.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
Have we chopped up?

Speaker 6 (19:18):
I know what one looks like right now.

the NBTA, travelers can expect one travel lane on I
ninety east westbound and buses.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
You gotta be coming home from the Red Sox game, right,
You've got to run into that. It's going to take
If you going to Metro West, it's going to take
it like three and a half hour, three and a
half hours get home, just speed.

Speaker 6 (21:24):
So that's going to be the weekend of May thirtieth
and the weekend of June twentieth. Massive fire destroyed the
iconic matunic Oyster Bar in South Kingstown, Rhode Island, early yesterday.
No injuries were reported, but the beloved waterfront restaurant may
be a total loss. Cause of that fire remains under investigation.
Two members of Boston Mayor Michelle Woo's administration were fired

(21:45):
after being arrested on domestic violence charges. Marvel Kutnazzar and
Chulan Huang were involved in a fight in a Chinatown
apartment on May fifteenth, and internal review cleared other city
employees of any policy violations. Karen Reid disputed SUV data
after forensic testimony in her second murder trial yesterday experts
claim her lexus recorded events around the time John O'Keefe

(22:05):
was killed outside of Canton home. Read maintains the data
is wrong. The timeline doesn't match. Here's Karen outside of
the courthouse yesterday.

Speaker 9 (22:12):
John's phone is still moving, He's still walking after a
trigger on a common trigger on my lexus.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
They are just going back and forth all this timing.

Speaker 6 (22:22):
Yeah, well, that's I mean, I think that's kind of
the most critical part of it.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
You know, Well, they had this expert who's like a
high school guy or somewha, what do.

Speaker 6 (22:31):
Or don't you have a bachelor mister Burgess. I don't
know when did you update your LinkedIn last I don't know.
A lot of questions flying around. Finally, the FDA is
changing how it approves COVID nineteen vaccines, limiting future shots
to older adults and high risk groups. Updated vaccines will
likely be offered this fall to those sixty five plus
and people with underlying medical conditions. Millions of healthy adults

(22:53):
and kids may lose access to those vaccines under the
new guidelines. Right now, in Boston, fifty degrees, we'll see
a high fifty three. Oh my god, is that the sun?

Speaker 2 (23:01):
You see it how it is the sun for a moment.

Speaker 6 (23:04):
It's bouncing off a few buildings. It's gonna go away soon, daddy.
But don't worry because we have a nor'easter coming tomorrow.
So everything, so today's really the day. Get out there
and enjoy it. I'm Danielle. That your download.

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Yeah, one point seven seconds of sports with Tyler.

Speaker 7 (23:20):
All right, Chuck, let's get into the socks Weird Night
last night, the w W E Knight. Yeah, at least
Family Park. The first few winnings. We'll get going with
Walker Buehler. First game off the fifteen day, I l
and here we are in the third inning.

Speaker 10 (23:35):
Sprundergoes, here's the throwdown. Here's the tag, you say, Bueller
getting after it with Esterbrook. The hall played umpire and
Nevaya's out there to push her back.

Speaker 5 (23:45):
The well calls definature, they calls We're called it a ball.
It was right down in the middle. Walker Buehler sets
up to him when he's on the dirt. But when
the match comes off and you you're very confrontational. He
has something to say for you from the rubber, that's fine,
But when the comes off and you're aggressively coming out him.
It's very combative and has heard it a Klora has
been one.

Speaker 10 (24:05):
Too, because Alex Cora has been tossed out. Pastor Rook
gets the pitcher and the manager man.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
When that ump took that mask off, he just look
like Master Blaster from Thunderdomes. Yeah, big bald head. He
was coming out. He was coming out with fire.

Speaker 7 (24:19):
He looked crazy, and Merlino said it best. You know,
he was combative, Like what do you expect Bueller to do?
Sit there and say thank you? Use it's right down
the middle. Yeah, Well, that's the worst part of the
play is he throws the pitch and the runner on
first starts breaking for second, and it distracted the home
plate umpire so you can actually see when the pitch
is coming into the plate. He takes his eye off

(24:40):
and he comes out of his crouch and he's focused
on what's going on towards second, so he didn't even
see the ball punchers.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Met because it broke.

Speaker 7 (24:47):
The ball broke into the strike zone at the end,
and it was right down Main Street and he just
completely missed it. And then he got pissed and threw
everybody out of the game. Things got better after that.
We go to the fifth inning with the Socks up
at the plate, fling at run left field.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
That is back there. That is back there. It is gone,
not a byan as we'll touch the ball.

Speaker 7 (25:08):
On the Red Sox start first side of Fenway and
we weren't done yet. Two batters later. Oh, one of
the hottest hitters on the planet, King Raffi steps up
to the plate.

Speaker 10 (25:17):
Bradfield devers, he's lying down and take a ball four
and the on one swagen that one golf to left.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
That's high and deep.

Speaker 14 (25:25):
That's back there.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Hello, does gone?

Speaker 10 (25:29):
The Red Sox what their second.

Speaker 14 (25:31):
Home run of the inning?

Speaker 2 (25:32):
That Lana to nothing opposite field. Job right there. That
was a nice hit.

Speaker 7 (25:36):
That was all the offense they needed. The bullpen took
over Buller after Buller got tossed. They kept the zeros
on the board right till the end. Socks win two nothing.
They take the first two games of this series from
the Mets, with the finale tonight at six forty five.
Garrett Crochet is on the hill for they're good guys.
We got two items to talk about in the NFL,
all right. First of all, if you're an NFL player,
and you have dreams of Olympic gold. Guess what glory

(25:59):
is coming your way into tight in La. You get
to play flag football, flag football at Olympic Sports.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
Apparently it is.

Speaker 7 (26:05):
The owners gave their blessing, So what do you want
from me? Finally, Roger Goodell says, within five years we
could be seeing sixteen international regular season games.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Oh god, they're gonna play an Intarctica is yeah? Where
are they gonna play Australia? I mean they're going.

Speaker 7 (26:21):
He's they want to go global, global, not just Mexico,
not just England. They want to go everywhere. They want
to have a team in London they do and they
probably will. They'll probably have a Mexican team too. But
why haven't they played in Canada yet? It is an
easy trip, right yeah?

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Is it the tariffs? Is that why? That's a great question.
I didn't think of that. He's saying.

Speaker 7 (26:42):
Roger Goodell basically is saying he's shooting for an international
game almost every week during the international during the regular season.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
So that'll be cool. Actually, that sports from Tyler and
this is the Chuck Noullan Morning shawing z Alex. We

Very good? Thank you? You gotta do a little thinking
on that, all right, follow along here. Dimebag Daryl is
famously buried in a kiss casket allegedly donated by Gene Simmons.
He doesn't donate anything, you pay for it. It was
a donation of tax deductible one. He's also buried with

(28:18):
one of Eddie van Halen's guitars.

Speaker 3 (28:20):
Now.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
According to the Recording Industry of America, van Halen is
one of five rock bands that have had two albums
sell more than two. I'm sorry sell more than ten
million copies in the US. Their albums are the original
van Halen in nineteen eighty four. Name one of the
other four bands? Did that all make sense to you? Kevin?

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Oh boy?

Speaker 2 (28:49):
Stand on your left foot? And van Halen one of
five rock bands that have had two albums sell more
than ten million copies in the US? Name just one
of the other four dands?

Speaker 10 (29:06):
Hold on, let me think about this one.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Is he thinking or is he googling right now?

Speaker 14 (29:10):
I mean, if you were smart, Ledelin led Zeppelin is correct,
led Zeppelins Just for giggles, Give me another one.

Listen on the free I heard radio app anywhere any time.
Your number one preset is one hundred point seven Wzlxrock.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Driving around Boston got even more exciting. Not only have
to deal with the duck boats out there, now there's
these little white cars that have these spinning cameras on
the roof.

Speaker 7 (30:15):
Hello, and nobody's driving.

Speaker 6 (30:18):
Nobody's driving. They're taking over, probably driving better than the
people texting in their cars right now.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Though I'll give me that that's actually true. Yes, it's
kind of debatable. I think WAIMO is coming and people
are spotting them all over the place. We have a
WAIMO update coming up from Boston's Classic Rock one hundred
points up at WZLX. Boston's Classic Rock one hundred points
ap at WZLX The Chuck Nolan Morning Show with Danielle

(30:43):
Murr and Tyler. I have a lot of questions about this,
A lot of questions because I'm seeing this every day
as I'm driving in in the middle of the night,
and it gets Wellington Circle over here, the Fairfield Inn
is over there, okay, and there's like thirty of these
little white cars with these bubble tops on top of them,
the trunk who are all open, the lights are all on.
They're getting ready to go out into the streets of Boston.

(31:04):
This is the Google owns self driving taxi company, Weymo,
So they are mapping our streets right now. So they
have this fleet that's going out all over the place.
They're collecting data on Boston's distinct driving culture. Oh yeah, okay.
I mean they are in other cities right now. But
these cities have like grid patterns, but here we have

(31:25):
cowpaths from the sixteen hundreds that we call roads, and we.

Speaker 6 (31:28):
Also have you know, multiple tunnels under entire neighborhoods, like
in South Boston where the second you get onto the
Pike or like ninety three, your GPS is like recalculating,
recalculating where am I underground? I don't recalculating, no clue
where you are.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Yeah, senseless rotaries, aggressive drivers, it's going to be nuts.

Speaker 6 (31:49):
It's going to be an s show. And we need
to take once they get on the road, we need
to do a show Waymo field trip for social to.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
An entire four hour field trip in a Weymo.

Speaker 6 (32:00):
I don't know about. I don't know if I can
handle Tilan type quarters for four hours panicking. But I
think we for the sake of the z X, Instagram
and TikTok, I think we need to do these.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
So they're mapping it right now for a launch. They're
gonna they're gonna be in Boston here and and driving
around and Okay, I don't know.

Speaker 7 (32:16):
Would you get into one tiler personally? No, you would
know based on the audio you were about to play. Yeah,
that's the reason why I not yet, Like they need
to be perfected before. I'm not going to be a
guinea pig. There's no way you go to Vegas.

Speaker 2 (32:27):
They have Tesla's self driving Tesla's out there that you
can get for a taxi. I wanted to do it.
My wife said, no, oh, come on exactly. I'm with her.
I'm with Kelly. Just drive, Like, what do you do this.

Speaker 6 (32:42):
Three minute commuter?

Speaker 2 (32:43):
It's ten actually? Okay either way? Why would you not?
Why would you take the risk of having a computer
drive for you?

Speaker 6 (32:51):
Because it's probably better than some of the Uber drivers.

Speaker 7 (32:53):
Well again, based on the audio we're about to hear
is but this is one one thing that blew up.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
I guarantee there's more. All right. This is this guy.
I think it was Los Angeles Phoenix.

Speaker 6 (33:06):
It was out of the Sky Harbor Airport.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
All right, you had the details of the deats. So
he got into a Waymo for his ride to the airport.

Speaker 7 (33:13):
He has to be at the airport at a certain time,
like to catch okay, So he gets in the back
seats and this happens.

Speaker 2 (33:19):
I'm in a Waymo car to writer support. This fill
may be recorded for quality assurance. This car is just
going in circles, either.

Speaker 7 (33:27):
As a scab.

Speaker 6 (33:27):
I'm calling from WAYIMAMS support. I'm just calling because I
received a notification at your car might be experiencing some
routing issue. Stare at me while I am there.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
Yeah, I got a flight to catch. Why is this
thing going in a circle. I'm getting dizzy. It's look
at what it's doing. I Amerson.

Speaker 6 (33:43):
I'm really really sorry, Mike. We're currently working with the
situation on the vehicle. Is it certainly in a round
a parking lot, around.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
A parking lot. I got my seat belt on, I
can't get out the car. Has this been hacked? What's
going on? I feel like I'm in the movies. That
is like a movie. And he found his skeletal remains
three months later.

Speaker 6 (34:03):
And imagine being in that scenario and not only panicking
because you can't stop the car and you can't get out,
but also you're on the phone with a call center
who's doing a script that's like, I understand your concern.
Please allow me seven to ten minutes to put you
on hold to check into this with my supervisory.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
And it goes on. He keeps saying, I'm gonna miss
my flight. You're gonna cover that right else she does
not respond. It's an AI voice. I think that that
person talking back to him is actually an AI agent.
See anyone. They don't want to give you any help.
It's happening.

Speaker 6 (34:30):
You'll get nothing like it.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
So they come to Boston and they do this self
driving thing. If you go out and you have a
night on the town and you get absolutely ripped, yeah,
you get into the back of one of these things.
Yeah for the ride on home. Yeah, say you fall
asleep or something.

Speaker 7 (34:48):
Yeah, Danielle's on a way to Swampscotten Shand's up and
I don't know wherever Burlington, you don't know where.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
You trust it, you will never trust it. Not yet
any proof that this actually works.

Speaker 7 (35:00):
I have.

Speaker 6 (35:01):
Probably a dozen friends who I've seen posts from various
cities across the country on social media who have taken
successful way Moo rides, like to and from the airport
in places like that. Nobody has had a problem yet.
I did get a very good message though, on Instagram.
Meg Buckley just sent me a DM and she said
she was in Austin earlier this year and apparently you
can get way moo uber's there and kids will call

(35:22):
one just to have sexual relations in the car on
the way to their destination. So all the locals were
saying to avoid the self driving sex cars. So I
hadn't thought of.

Speaker 2 (35:32):
Now that I can get down with. Yeah, now I'll
do it for that. Yeah if you're the person. What
if you're the person getting into the car after the
kids were in the car. Again, that's why I won't
do it.

Speaker 7 (35:44):
I'm just saying I like the idea of you know,
banging one out before show.

Speaker 6 (35:48):
What's this on the seat Tyler's lights all can I'll.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
Go in there with a hazmat. Soon We've got am
I the A Hole? Coming up next to ZOLX.

Speaker 12 (36:03):
Seven w z LX right here on the Chuck Nolan
Morning Show, everybody, we answer the age old question, am
I the A Hole?

Speaker 4 (36:19):
Shay the road and.

Speaker 2 (36:23):
Just start up fum. I just wanted to play that
next to you. Don't stop believing, just like to the
comparison people, age guy. I know Lord this weekend, I
accept that.

Speaker 6 (36:35):
Which show are you?

Speaker 2 (36:36):
Headline? Willie Nelson sounds awesome on that. Steve Perry does not.
The weed preserve that gives you makes your voice better.
That's why Tyler sounds like what he sounds like. Fantastic.
All right, am I the A Hole? It's all about
cell phones at concerts.

Speaker 6 (36:53):
I know, don't get me started this.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
I know this is just like a fire for you.
Iron Maidens starting their huge world tour next week in Budapeste, Yep.
Their manager Rod Smallwood says, we really want fans to
enjoy the show firsthand rather than on their small screens.

Speaker 6 (37:09):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
The amount of phone use nowadays diminishes enjoyment, particularly for
the band who are on stage looking at a row
of phones, but also for other concertgoers. I hope fans
understand this will be sensible and severely limiting the use
of their phone cameras out of respect for the band
and their fellow fans.

Speaker 7 (37:25):
There's a reason why they're doing this though, because as
this tour is to mark the fifty years since Steve
Harris started the band in nineteen seventy five, So they're
only doing songs from night from the first nine albums,
which span nineteen eighty to nineteen ninety two. So the
idea is to go back to that time when people
didn't have phones. It shows and you just actually enjoyed

(37:46):
the show, watch the show. But what they're not saying
is like what does this mean? Like what happens if
you take out your phone? You're gonna get thrown out.

Speaker 6 (37:53):
It doesn't sound like they're gonna do anything. I think
it's just a preemptive like, hey, can you be cognizant
of that during Yeah, like don't don't take the show.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
Yeah, it's not gonna work. I'm sure they'll make announcements
at the show like please limit your cell phone use.
But I wonder like, will ushers come up to people
and go, hey, can you put that phone away?

Speaker 6 (38:13):
They give you the flashlight from the end of the
row yea, or they'll climb over you, as happened to
me at a Michael McDonald's show once what they had
a no flash rule and that demo tends to not
know when they have their flash on, sometimes when they're
taking a video. So my friend Cheryl and I were
at the show and we're sitting I forget which theater
was at, but we were sitting right in the middle
of the row, so there were six or seven seats

(38:34):
on either side of us. The usher physically climbed over
the people next to us and over us to get
to the people in front of us because they weren't
like seeing the flashlight wave. And I'm like, this seems
like it's a little much, right Like right as Michael
McDonald was hitting Wonderful, he was doing Hail Mary was
on the which is like one of my favorite songs

(38:55):
of his. Yeah, I do most people?

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Does it have a guitar and it I don't know, Dary.
So our question is who is the a hole? Uh,
the person who has the phone up.

Speaker 7 (39:07):
A good portion of the show, if not all, of
it right well, as Danielle always says, taking video and
pictures that they'll never watch her see.

Speaker 6 (39:13):
You're never going to watch that video.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
Yeah, Ever, my daughter does that all the time for shows.
She'll take like twenty seven videos. Her phone is just
jamful of videos show videos. Yea, the sound probably sucks.
You're never gonna watch them again.

Speaker 7 (39:25):
Get her on the phone and ask her how many
she's watched since then, Ue, we got Rich on the line.
What do you think, rich, Richie boy, rich Rich?

Speaker 2 (39:38):
What do you think?

Speaker 3 (39:41):
I was calling out?

Speaker 4 (39:42):
Bob Dylan does that already? Two years ago, we were
at a show at the Opium and I said I
didn't have my phone on me. My wife surrendered hers,
and I got caught taking pictures in a video of
the show.

Speaker 13 (39:57):
I got the I got the heat out of.

Speaker 2 (39:59):
The They threw you out, Yeah, I got bye bye
for you to get out. That's really I've never heard
of that.

Speaker 6 (40:09):
Where the Michael McDonald's show was. I can't remember the
Orpheum's tough man nay no bs policy. We gave you
the rules, you got to follow them.

Speaker 2 (40:18):
You got to pay that five bucks charge too, so
they can fix the place up. Joe from Whitman.

Speaker 4 (40:25):
What do you think, Joe, I don't think they should
be allowed to have cell phones.

Speaker 13 (40:29):
They make like a wall.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
They hold them up taking video.

Speaker 4 (40:32):
You can't see if you're the person behind him.

Speaker 3 (40:34):
I don't think they should have met a concert.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
That's so true for other concertgoers. They're right up in
your face. You can't see around the phone.

Speaker 6 (40:41):
Like if you were if you're aware of your surroundings,
if there's no one directly in front of you or
behind you rather, and you can safely put your phone
up and take the video and you're not obstructing anybody's view,
do whatever the hell you want. Yeah, but if if
you're in the middle of Gen Pop on the floor
and you've got your phone at full arms length above
your head, get out, stop, put it away.

Speaker 2 (41:02):
And if you're like Aunt Betty and you bring the
iPad and you're recording with the iPad.

Speaker 6 (41:06):
That happened to me at Boss Skaggs once.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
You did Michael McDonald and Boss gagged. I'm shows are
you going?

Speaker 6 (41:15):
I'm sorry?

Speaker 2 (41:16):
I do too? Wow? Wait you go from that to
your like death metal that you like? Yeah, well, put
the phone down.

Speaker 14 (41:31):
Put it down.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
That's the Friday night show for Danielle then Saturday nights.
What a fool, that's correct.

Speaker 6 (41:39):
I'm going from the palladium to the pavilion. That's my
entire summer.

Speaker 2 (41:42):
There you go six seven seven text w ZX and
your message to seven oh four seven h or download
the free iHeartRadio app and hit that talk back button.
Are you an a hole for using your phone vigorously
at a concert? Let us know?

Speaker 7 (42:00):
And hailing from Boston's Classic Rock one hundred point seven
wg L Boston's Classic Rock one hundred point seven w
C Alex, Chuck Nol The Morning Show with Daniel Murr
and Tyler, we're talking about cell phones at shows. Iron
Maiden is launching their world tour next week in Budapese.

Speaker 6 (42:25):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (42:26):
Their manager Rod Smallwood says, we really want fans to
enjoy the show firsthand rather than on their small screen.
So the band really does not want you to be
having your phone up in front of your face during
the show. Not only is it distracting for other concert goers,
also for the band. They don't like to see that
out there. The real question is what happens if you
get caught doing it? Are they going to throw people
out like they did to that last guy that called

(42:47):
in Bob Dylan Bob Dylan Show. Yeah, how strict are
they going to be? That's what I want. Danielle get
involved in a frakus at the Mike McDonald's show down
the pit in front.

Speaker 6 (42:55):
Yeah, well no, if this is a seed in show,
there was no general admission, there's no marsh pit.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
No, I'm Michael McDonald.

Speaker 7 (43:01):
Now we're not doing a wall of jeth all right.
We got Collin down on the South Shore on his
way to school. Colin, what do you think?

Speaker 13 (43:10):
I think you're absolutely in the wrong for like being
on your phone during the shows. But I mean, guilty
is charged.

Speaker 3 (43:15):
I've done it before.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
Yeah, but when you do that, do you just catch
like twenty seconds of the show and take the phone
down or are you recording big chunks of it?

Speaker 3 (43:24):
Oh?

Speaker 13 (43:25):
Yeah, I only do it for about like ten to
fifteen seconds. I actually saw Olympiscuit at the old great
Wood Center, uh Exfanity Center, whatever you want to call that.
They opened with Sweet Home Alabama. I thought that was
pretty funny. I felt Matt like the start of you know,
rolling keep out, rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling.

Speaker 14 (43:48):
See.

Speaker 2 (43:48):
I think that's cool. Though, if you want to save
it for like, you know, ten or fifteen seconds I
was here, you want to share it with your.

Speaker 6 (43:54):
Friends, get the chorus of the big song.

Speaker 2 (43:57):
You have to specifically wait for the chorus.

Speaker 3 (43:59):
That's it.

Speaker 6 (43:59):
That's the good part, generally, the most important. Yeah, exactly
did you get the chorus?

Speaker 10 (44:04):
Calling?

Speaker 3 (44:05):
I sure?

Speaker 7 (44:06):
Did you? Go?

Speaker 14 (44:07):
All right?

Speaker 2 (44:08):
So you're any way to school right now. It's it's
near the end of the school year. Here we are
May twenty first. You're not really paying attention anymore, right, No, absolutely?
I like that He's honest about it. Hey, we were
talking about this last week of the week before about
school's banning cell phones. How do you feel about that?
What id they What if they took your phone on

(44:28):
the way in?

Speaker 13 (44:30):
I think they accomplish absolutely nothing doing that, Because if
I want to fail a class and sit on my
phone and do nothing, that's for me to deal with.

Speaker 7 (44:38):
Well, wow, taking ownership of it, that's his fault. Phones
in general are just a problem. I missed what was
probably what should have been the greatest moment in my
concert life because of because of my phone. Was that
this was a few years back, Springsteen right here at
the Garden in Boston.

Speaker 2 (44:57):
I remember this. You remember this story?

Speaker 7 (44:59):
Yes, And in the pit down below with my buddy Dennis,
who's like the biggest Springsteen fan on the planet, and
he knew it a certain part in the show when
they were doing out in the streets that Springsteen was
gonna come off the stage and start going around into
the crowd. So we were like kind of in the
middle of the pit and he starts pushing me towards
the railing to the left.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
I'm like, what are you doing here?

Speaker 7 (45:19):
He's like, just trust me go. So Springsteen starts coming
down and I'm like, like an idiot, I grabbed.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
I'm like, I got a video. I gotta get this
on video.

Speaker 10 (45:28):
What am I gonn?

Speaker 2 (45:28):
I'm gonna miss this. I wanted it documented for the
rest of my life.

Speaker 7 (45:31):
He comes by and he stops right in front of
me because it was a guy with the kin on
his shoulders and the whole time, and he actually gave
me like a half a high five, and I you
know what I got.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
I got the video of his legs, his feet.

Speaker 3 (45:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (45:44):
So he basically missed the whole moment, every whole.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
Moment, and I was busy looking at my phone and
trying to look at him. I screwed the whole thing up.
He did all because of my damn phone.

Speaker 7 (45:53):
That's why you shouldn't have phones at concerts. Leave him
in your pocket. Just watch the show, enjoy it.

Speaker 6 (45:58):
You're enough.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
Yeah, take a quick photo or a quick video and
put it away.

Speaker 7 (46:02):
Yeah, don't just stand there with you don't need to
take video of the first eighteen songs they play.

Speaker 6 (46:07):
It's not facetiming people at shows for the entire show.

Speaker 2 (46:10):
Oh my god. Oh but just all these phones up
over everybody's head. It's a sea of just lights coming
at you.

Speaker 6 (46:17):
I'm going to get the best angle.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
Remember the old days when we just flick a lighter
during like Home Sweet Home, this is.

Speaker 6 (46:25):
That's another thing that cracks me up, because you know
your phone flashlight is the new lighter. Yeah, you can't
have lighters at venues, but you see the crowd and
it will be like a good like a third lit up,
and like this is not because people are doing the
lighter thing. It's because their flashes are on.

Speaker 2 (46:40):
But now you also have bands who encourage that get
your phones off.

Speaker 6 (46:44):
But if they call it out for a specific song
to light the place up. Yeah, that's one thing.

Speaker 2 (46:49):
That looks cool. The story.

Speaker 7 (46:51):
We should be allowed to bring lighters back into concerts. Yeah,
bring the lighters back. Hold on, we got to talk
back here.

Speaker 15 (46:57):
Check in my take, I think that because they you
should be in your phone. I don't think it's distracting
and you're never gonna watch it anyways. But the problem
is those venues I'll have, like electronic ticketing and stuff
like that, they need your phone to get in yep,
because they don't do the printed tickets anymore. So they
kind of creating their own issue.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
Here.

Speaker 2 (47:16):
You go back to the old.

Speaker 15 (47:17):
Days of having a paper ticket, and we're all of it, and.

Speaker 2 (47:19):
Not only the ticket. Everything is touchless pay now you
got to use your phone. There's no cash anymore at
a concert venue that is, you need your phone.

Speaker 6 (47:27):
We can't go back to paper tickets. People will lose
them and it will be such a nightmare getting into venues.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
It's all. It's true. But it's so cool to have
old ticket stubs. It's great for sure, that's the See.
That's another thing I have.

Speaker 7 (47:39):
God knows how many concert ticket stubs that I've seen
since I was a kid. So and all the concerts
I've been to in the last I don't know what
ten years. I have no proof other than some video
I might take on my phone. That's it, Yeah, that's it.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
How do you feel?

Speaker 7 (47:51):
Six?

Speaker 2 (47:51):
One, seven, nine, three, well, one hundred point seven it's
a shock No online show.

Speaker 7 (48:05):
We're talking cell phone usage at a concert event. Sean
from Ipswich.

Speaker 2 (48:09):
What do you think? Sean?

Speaker 3 (48:11):
Good morning everyone. So I have two problems with this one.
So I just moved back from Nashville. I probably went
to twenty thirty concerts a year. And one, if I
want to pay to not watch a concert, you're still
getting my money, so leave me alone. But two, I
am giving you advertisement. I paid to come see you,

(48:32):
and I am advertising you. If I want to be
at my phone, leave me alone. All my friends are
seeing it, and they may go see you when they
when you're up somewhere else.

Speaker 7 (48:42):
So kind of a marketing strategy, I gonna say, yeah, yeah, yeah,
you get this guy to come work on our marketing department.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
He can take video of the show and send it
out to his friends. Just stand stand the show.

Speaker 6 (48:53):
Video and he wants me to let him handle my finances. Sean,
I don't think so.

Speaker 3 (48:57):
What come on, Danielle, stop buying Hey and I'll help you.
Ask rescue animals.

Speaker 6 (49:02):
