under investigation. We've got some sound from Fall River Fire
Chief Jeffrey Bacon, and we.

Speaker 5 (00:45):
Had every firefighter on duty in the city was here
and multiple up to thirty. I believe firefighters off due
to that were recalled that we got here quick enough
to affect those rescues.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
A family of reunification center has been set up at
Saint Anne's Hospital. Questions swirling this week after an incident
that happened Friday outside Bradford's Seafood and Haveral forty three
year old Francis Gigliotti died after a struggle with Harol
police following reports that he had been behaving erratically and
running into traffic. Video shows officers restraining him as he
screamed for help before becoming unresponsive and later dying at

(01:20):
the hospital. His family and the community are now demanding answers,
citing mental health concerns.

Michelle Rooney is his fiancee.

I heard a scream and it was trail for screaming help.

Speaker 6 (01:31):
By the time I got up there, I saw eight
police officers on top of him, right outside the door
of Bradford's Seafood and he went limp.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
His legs just stopped moving.

Speaker 6 (01:45):
And when I went around to the side, I was
yelling Francis, Francis, and I saw a glimpse of his
face and he was blue.

So investigators are asking if anyone has any additional video
of the incident itself, with police or events leading up
to that, that you please get in touch with them
and submit that. Republic Services and striking sanitation workers set
to resume talks with the federal mediator tomorrow, as Boston
officials call the ongoing trash pile up a public health emergency.
That strike began July first and has left overflowing dumpsters

(02:23):
and pest issues across fourteen different communities.

West Roxbury and Hyde Park have tested positive for West
Nile virus, marking the city's first detections of the virus
this summer.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
That's according to Boston Public Health Commission.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
No human cases had been reported so far, but officials
urged residents to tape precautions such as draining standing water,
wearing long sleeves during peak mosquito hours, and using EPA
improved insect repellents. Seventy two degrees in Boston right now,

Point seven seconds of sports with Tyler.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
It was a beautiful weekend at Fenway.

Speaker 7 (03:42):
What a great weekend for baseball. Beautiful weather, beautiful results,
and we're in the All Star break now we're looking beautiful.
Family was packed. Oh my god, this is like one
of those weekends. I regretted not going to any games.
They had the city uniforms on, yes they did. They
had the uh, they had the yellow ones, and they
did the green one too.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
I believe.

Speaker 7 (04:01):
Let's go to yesterday's game, nice little day game, sixth inning.
Trevor story hits an RBI single and then sadan Or
Rafaella steps up to the plates.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
The right sucks up. You can you can hear the
ball hit the top of the wall on them. Oh
my god.

Speaker 7 (04:30):
Yeah, he's hot as a pistol right now. More on
him in a second, but first shout out to Brian Bao.
Pitched one run ball into the seventh inning and the
Socks won, as you just heard, four to one and
swept the Tampa Bay Rays, and now they're ahead of them.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
I like that. No, I'm sorry, they're in third place,
but they're only a game behind the Yankees.

Speaker 9 (04:46):
So they went from beating the Nationals and the Rockies,
who are garbage teams.

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Raised good team, raiser a good team. Yeah. So it's
looking good going into the break. It's not looking too bad.

Speaker 7 (04:56):
But first let's let's get to Friday night, because this
is one of those days. I woke up Saturday morning
was like, wish we were on the air right now
so we could talk about this. It was absolutely electric.
Bottom of the ninth, down a run and he steps
up to the plate one more time, swinging a run.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
That sucks letter.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
They don't look it up.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Then Tampa Bay Are you kidding me? That is the
sound of me sling. That's a way.

Speaker 9 (05:31):
People flipping cars over at Camore Square's Bedlam Place was
absolutely rocking, the most electric for sure this year and
in recent memory.

Speaker 7 (05:40):
I mean, I've never it's been a while since we've
had a Fenway night like that. They won everybody back,
including you, mm.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Hmmm, Well they never lost me.

Speaker 7 (05:48):
But I'm always going to be the pre two thousand
and four mentality, which is when is it all gonna end?
And go to craph Garrett Crochet had a huge weekend
as well, got his first career complete game and a
shoutout on Saturday, and a few days before that, Brian
Bao had another great game. I think it was Tuesday
night he pitched a complete game. So the first time
in twenty years two Red Sox pitchers have thrown complete

(06:08):
games in one week.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Twenty years.

Speaker 7 (06:10):
Two thousand and five, the late great Tim Wakefield did
it along with Red Sox legend or not David Wells
who who remembers him playing for the Red.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Sox Big round man. Yes, so here we are. We're
at the All Star break, all right.

Speaker 7 (06:25):
First half of the season was, I mean, ups and downs,
roller coaster supper for the Red Sox, and yet they
finished the first half of the season with a ten
game win streak and thirteen of the last fifteen. I
like it not too shabby that sports. I'm Tyler and

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Nicely done pressing.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yes, it's the Chuck Nolan Morning Show.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
Get involved now six nine one one point seven.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Tex WCLX and your message to seven oh four seven
oh Austin's classic Rock one hundred point seventy WCLX.

Speaker 12 (10:31):
I find this story fascinating, especially for a guy that
makes music. Jack White, known from the White Stripes Yeap
just had his fiftieth birthday. For his fiftieth birthday, he
got his first cell phone ever.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
I love these people. I love people like this. What
a holdouts. It's fascinating to me. I don't know how
you do it. I don't know. I don't either. How
you make it that far? How do you.

Speaker 9 (11:00):
How do you make a call when you're out of
the house. You have to borrow someone else's phone or
find a pay phone.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
Yeah, that doesn't work right this.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
I find that people who resist the cell phone are
often folks who others need to get in touch with
off and like my friend Laura very involved in animal rescue.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
She and I'm sure he husband John's probably listening right now.
Good morning John. She did not have a set, She
had a pager like a decade ago, so she was
dealing on the side.

Speaker 4 (11:28):
It was just that people would always need to get
in touch with her for animal rescue stuff, for shelter stuff,
and it's like you got to be overwhelming, And I'm like, man,
that's so nice to just be able to fly under
the radar.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Like you think about.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
How many ways we have. We've got cell phone, We've
got if you still have a landline, if you have email,
you have social media, You've got all these people Like
I sent you a message, like I pick a platform,
I don't know where to look for it.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
I know, but to not have a self a computer
in your hand.

Speaker 9 (11:56):
You know you want to go out to eatail, let's
you know, let me look at a couple of places,
let's order online. No, let's take a video of Karen
going nuts in the dunks line right now and share
it with everybody.

Speaker 7 (12:06):
You can't do that, Yeah, but let's remember there was
a time in our lives when we didn't have them
and everything was fine.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
Yes, However, this I hate this argument because life has
not stayed in the same vein we like. Life has
shifted for dependence.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
On these things.

Speaker 4 (12:21):
Again, most people don't have lamdlines these days. If you
find a payphone out in the wild, nine times out
of ten it doesn't work.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
So we don't know.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
We don't have the same things available to us that
we could. We don't have a fax machine.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
Oh that's crazy. Send the restaurant menus.

Speaker 9 (12:38):
You know there was a time we didn't have toilet paper,
all right, if you want to go that far back, Yes,
not really what I was saying, but okay, But I
mean he makes.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
A good point that things change and we don't live
in the same We live in a world. Look at
we don't teach analog clocks or cursive anymore because people
are so reliant on technology.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Got it, so.

Speaker 9 (12:58):
Jack Roy Jack White post so well, y'all, it's either
all over me now or just the beginning. I am
now the reluctant order of a cellular telephone for the
first time in my life, A lovely fiftieth birthday present
courtesy my gorgeous and thoughtful wife, missus Olivia Jean.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
And he posted a photo of himself on it's a
flip phone or can't imagine?

Speaker 9 (13:18):
I just find that amazing though you can't. You know,
you can't pay with your phone, you can't. He's a musician,
he's got music. Maybe he wants to listen to his music.
He's something he's working on in the car or something
he couldn't do that well, you know what you think about? Like, like,
like Danielle said, how life has changed. Like, so this
guy travels quite a bit, obviously. Yeah, so every time
he goes to the airport.

Speaker 7 (13:37):
He has to go and get a ticket. Yeah, a
legit physical plane ticket. When was the last time? Want
to then walk in without your phone? It's true, it's true.
I think he's proven you can survive without it.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Yeah, you can.

Speaker 4 (13:54):
I don't know that I buy this story though, because
I am looking at back. I did a Google search
of Jack Black cell phone and there's so much white,
Jack White, Jack White. Sorry, well then that's where I
did the mistake, because I stirched the wrong thing.

Speaker 9 (14:07):

which will lead up to the check in with Chuck

It is such a battle, and the war rages for
a long time and eventually you.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Just have to all right, okay, fine, all right. Our
kids were relentless. It's it's middle school. It's peer pressure.

Speaker 9 (15:27):
Well, Joey has one, and Lies has one, and blad
of them. I don't have one, and they making fun
of I don't care. But they always use the same line.
How am I going to get a hold of you?

Speaker 1 (15:36):
If I need to?

Speaker 9 (15:37):
Right, they went to the emergency card. They all talk
amongst each other. This is the line that works. This
is a strategy built him out. It's dark out, I'm lost,
its raining, I don't know where I am.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
How am I gonna get a hold of you? Insert
thunderclap here.

Speaker 7 (15:52):
I told my parents some guys, some stranger came walking
up to me and I didn't have my phone on me.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
Then they got me one. Yes like that? That what's stranger?

Speaker 4 (16:01):
What was this?

Speaker 3 (16:02):
So?

Speaker 9 (16:03):
How old were your kids or maybe you didn't get
your kids a cell phone? Maybe you held out, said no,
you're not ready. Maybe high school you can get a
cell phone.

Speaker 7 (16:12):
I got a buddy who held out for a long time,
like like probably two years longer than most kids.

Speaker 9 (16:16):
That's Tom's kid was passed. Oh it's relentless. They don't
give up on it. I remember when we got our
kids' cell phones. My mother in law went nuts. She
just thought it was like the end.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Of the world. Oh yeah, you do that? What are
you doing? Why would you do that? That's terrible. She
also thought television was poisoned. So you know one of

Speaker 13 (17:12):
Last week was Jack White's birthday or the White Stripes.
For his birthday, his fiftieth birthday, he got his first
ever cell phone, the last adult holdout for a cell phone.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
I don't believeable. I did not want to get one.
His wife got one. Are you jealous? I'm kind of jealous.
I'm not jealous at all. I just think it's so inconvenient. Oh,
it would be so nice to not have people be
able to get in touch with you.

Speaker 9 (17:35):
I remember driving before there was ways, and I would
have the Almanac in my car.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
Oh, the big Red book, the big Red b Then
you'd have to go to like from page eighteen to
pay sixty seven pages.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yeah, some pages are missing. It's trying to trace it
with your finger. Like where am I going to me seventeen?
All right? Oh wait, no, that's not the right one.
You have to go to the legend cell phones changed that. Yes, okay,
in a lot of ways.

Speaker 7 (17:58):
I get it, though, But like over the weekend, so
nice out, I like did the usual hang in the
park at around deck chair smoking a cigar. I purposely
left my phone at home and I didn't have it
for like three hours.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
And nobody tried to get in touch with you, So
it was that's great, A few mills. What's the first
thing you did when you got home?

Speaker 9 (18:15):
You check your phone? But it was glorious for those
three hours without it. So our question is when do
you get people started on their phones? How old are
your kids when you got them a phone? Maybe you
didn't get them a phone. Meat Loaf actually made it
into a musical.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
Hey Dad, I want to go phone. You let me
sleephone talking to you. You'll surprise Bill.

Speaker 12 (18:38):
I can't check it.

Speaker 14 (18:42):
You ask the phone everything, and I just go down
to say, we're going talking to today.

Speaker 4 (18:50):
I love it.

Speaker 5 (18:53):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
I hope you got paid a lot for that.

Speaker 9 (18:57):
So the goost phones, the flip phones are back there kids,
one of them.

Speaker 7 (19:04):
I think I saw remember the guy that played Baccala
on the Sopranos Step Shirippa, Yeah, I think he still
has one. I see him on instagramy once in a while.
It's phone like, if you're gonna do it, go right,
go full yeah, go full out.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
Howie, we're talking phones? What do you have?

Speaker 9 (19:20):
Well?

Speaker 14 (19:21):
Really to me, it depends on the child. I put
two daughters on phones at around fourteen because they could
handle it. You know, the kids today, you got to
we can't compare.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
Them to us.

Speaker 14 (19:30):
I mean back in the day, in the early eighties,
late seventies's.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Phone in my hand.

Speaker 14 (19:35):
Hey, where's the weed? Where's the mushrooms?

Speaker 1 (19:37):
The kids today aren't doing that. You know. It's a
totally different And they're girls.

Speaker 14 (19:42):
I have to know where they are, you know. So
it really depends on the maturity of the child.

Speaker 9 (19:48):
I think.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (19:50):
And when you're talking maturity too, you're talking girls maturing
much faster than boys, having a girl and a boy.
I know this absolutely is true. Girls were much faster.
That's true, all right. So he just said, you know,
you know where your kids are at all times, and
my parents never knew where I was.

Speaker 1 (20:07):
I'm alive. I'm well, I did fine. Yeah, but again
it's not the same time.

Speaker 7 (20:11):
Like he said, all the time, I would say it
might have been a little worse because me and my
friends in the neighborhood when we were kids, we rode
our bikes all over town. We went everywhere, and we
were riding on roads we shouldn't have been on, Like
I could have easily gotten killed.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
But I came out alright.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
I didn't have a phone. I lived. What does that
mean though, I mean, what does it mean? What I say?

Speaker 8 (20:30):
What you think? You are right? All right? As it
not dead? Is what it means?

Speaker 7 (20:34):
Again?

Speaker 1 (20:35):
Things have changed so much.

Speaker 4 (20:36):
Hard to predator, child predators, and like the dangers that
are out there. It's not you can't go by the all.
We drank out of the hose and we didn't come home.
It's not the same world.

Speaker 9 (20:45):
And technology changes the world. Why do I have air
conditioning in your car? You shouldn't have it. There were
cars that had no air conditioning years ago. People survived.
I never had AC when I was a kid. I
lived again. Now you I bring up a window like,
oh who still window?

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Un a peasants. Come on, let's be honest.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
Now you're.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
Tyler. They said that Tyler myself X iHeart Tyler. Alright.
We have some texts that came in about this. We
had this.

Speaker 7 (21:19):
One guy says, my kids got flip phones from middle
school and we are deciding to stay with them long term.
I don't know if he means the kids or the
flip phones, but flip phones, yes, again, flip phones like
even in flip phone. Yeah what, I don't know why.
I don't know why, but a lot of people are
talking about flip phones. Have they improved them that much?

Speaker 3 (21:40):
They have?

Speaker 1 (21:40):
I mean it's I think it's more for for kids.

Speaker 4 (21:42):
It's more like a retro thing, where like I know
a lot of people in like gen Z and whatever
thing came after that, they're like.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Oh, point and shoot cameras.

Speaker 4 (21:52):
That's amazing, Like, yeah, we used to take those to
the club in two thousand and three. It was awesome
before we had you know, decent phone cameras. But it's
it's I think a lot of it is kind of
a retro vibe for them.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
You know.

Speaker 9 (22:04):
I can't say enough about the Ground Round making a
comeback out in Shrewsbury.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Oh my god, everybody's loving it.

Speaker 9 (22:09):
I don't think you can get in there. It's so crowded.
People are traveling from all over to go to the
Ground Round. It's the only one around here.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (22:16):
I think they have a couple in North Dakota or something.
Is it just because it's like a throwback thing or
is it the food that good throw nostalgia. I haven't
been to the Ground Round since like the eighty exactly.
They closed them all, but this one place opened up
out in Shrewsbury and it looks exactly like the way
it used to be. And now there's a hero there,
a bartender. Somebody began choking on Wednesday and the bartender,

(22:39):
Justin Goodney, jumps over the bar performs the Heimlich maneuver.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Saved the guy's life. Only at the ground round at
that choking sign.

Speaker 9 (22:49):
The next commercial. That's it. That's it. So there was
this story this week about an autopsy technician revealing the
way that you know people died. What is the thing
she sees the most? And she says, people choking on steak?

Speaker 1 (23:04):
All right, here we go. All right, tell me tell
me what you want to tell me. I'm a genius
now or do you want to wait till later?

Speaker 4 (23:09):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Okay, just to go back.

Speaker 9 (23:13):
Tyler is a proud owner of not one, but two
life backs. Could you explain what a lifeback is once again?

Speaker 7 (23:19):
It's this sort of pump device, pump device that has
a mask on it almost looks like a kind of mask,
like old school gas mask when you can go to
the dentist when you were a kid.

Speaker 8 (23:29):
I mean, they're smaller now, but I wish I had
some nitress right now. Yeah, you throw keep it up,
you put it on your face.

Speaker 7 (23:36):
It has this like accordion looking type middle, so it
goes in and out.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Okay, you put the mask on your face. You take
the other end.

Speaker 7 (23:45):
Huh, kind of handy style, so backwards the other end
you're talking about, there's like a handle that sticks out
of it. Yeah, it's kind of a handle. And grab
onto the handle and like a cylindrical device. Yeah, and
you pump it into your face kind of half handy,
half back and forth.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
I don't think can you see.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
It's what it looks like. I'm just saying you can
say mouthhog. I don't think you can say the name
of the large retailer that's similar to costco used initials.

Speaker 1 (24:15):
I don't think you can do that. Okay, mom, no listen,
I'm sorry. I don't want us to get slapped with
an FCC. Fine, Okay.

Speaker 9 (24:21):
I went to the Life Back website and they do
have instructions that you can follow if you suspect.

Speaker 11 (24:28):
That someone is suffering from a complete airway obstruction, Ask them,
are you choking? If they nod their head yes, ask them.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
Can I help you.

Speaker 11 (24:37):
If the victim is able to cough, encourage them to
cough forcefully and attempt to clear the obstructed object from
their airway. If the cough was not successful at removing
the obstruction from the patient's airway, progressed to step number two.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
But is to perform just to perform.

Speaker 9 (24:55):
The life back. I like, how calm that is, Tyler?
Are you choking? Like I'm gonna be cool about it.
Oh yeah, I'm having a little problem breathing around now
with flailing around, knocking over furniture. Yeah, to try to
remember where he left the life back. The thing is,
I know exactly where it is in the house too.

(25:16):
That's something that you need to know where it is.
Oh yeah, you got to run there immediately.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
So when you make a steak, do you take the
life back out and keep it like right next to you.
I actually thought I'm doing that. I'm not gonna lie
to you. I didn't. But what I do now at home,
no joke.

Speaker 7 (25:32):
I chew my food so well, like it's almost like
it like I'm a kid again.

Speaker 9 (25:37):
Well, we've all had that experience where something gets stuck
in your throat and it's terrifying.

Speaker 7 (25:41):
Yeah, Oh my god, this happened. I was at the
North End having dinner with like three of my best friends.
This is last summer, and my buddy was eating the
chilpino and he had a big shrimp and he just
actually put it in his mouth and it went down
and he just Also, we're in a consation, we're like laughing,
telling stories, and I'm like, Steve, okay, do a showging

(26:03):
to death.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
So Tyler ran back to his condo. Yeah, got the
life flash, I go do me a favorite. Don't die.

Speaker 7 (26:10):
I gotta get an uber back to my place to
get the LFE back.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
Stay right there, you had and popped an edible that night,
Steve would have been dead.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
And to this day they tell stories. Remember Steve, he
was such a great guy. It's all good until he
sucked down that shrimp.

Speaker 9 (26:27):
But I know that you've said your biggest fear is
that you're gonna choke to death on a piece of steak.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
It's definitely one of my biggest fears.

Speaker 7 (26:33):
This guy used to play pool with came to one
of our games and he goes, oh, yeah, he almost
died last night. I was like, what are you talking about.
I thought maybe he got into a car accident and
he choked. He was home alone and he choked on
a chicken bone and he fell chest first into the
edge of a table. Yeah, to get it out.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yeah good.

Speaker 7 (26:52):
I was like, dude, were you did you think you
were gonna die? He was like absolutely Wow. I was
freaking out. I was like, thank god, I had this
thing all right, stuck with you. I bought one for
my cousin, one from my friend. Anybody who lives alone.
I bought one for Danielle your.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Next thank you? What about me? You have people that
live with your dad? You're dead anyway?

Speaker 9 (27:10):
Well if you're if you're choking, you can't find the
life bag, you get to go to the ground round.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
His name is justin take care of you.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Like to talk, We'll make it official. Leave us to
talk back on the iHeart radio app. And while you're there,
make WC election number one pre set.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
It's a shut. The online shows classic rock.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
As your contemplated going to the gym or.

Speaker 9 (27:31):
Not, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
It's Monday.

Speaker 9 (27:35):
I'm kind of tied.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
I'm not sure.

Speaker 9 (27:38):
What if your gym all of a sudden had special
hours for saying Harry Italian.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
Guy's name time. It can only work out there here.
You cannot go to the gym waist down. Yeah, oh sir.

Speaker 9 (27:51):
H One gym in particular has caused a bit of
an outrage with their special hours oh exclusively interest.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
Tell you about it coming up next year at the Alex.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Use the top that feature on the iHeartRadio appxt W
CLEX and your message to seven oh four to seven.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
Oh, or just pick up the damn fall one seven.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
It's the Chuck Nolan Morning Show.

Speaker 1 (28:18):
Coming off every weekend.

Speaker 9 (28:19):
I always say, all right, this Monday, This Monday, that's
the day I'm starting.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
I'm gonna really I'm gonna really work out hard.

Speaker 9 (28:25):
I'm gonna stick to it all right, I'm gonna watch
what I eat and then.

Speaker 15 (28:31):
That last like till like six pm or so that long. Yeah, yeah,
maybe I'll just get it. Maybe I'll just have some
more peanut m and ms that left over from the
weekend that I have been hiding.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
You can't let him go to waste left shut down
with some beer, you know, something like that. So if
you're a gym goer.

Speaker 9 (28:49):
This woman up posted this on on the social media sites,
and her Jim sent her a message saying that the
gym would be reserved exclusively for females h twelve to
twenty four from four to seven pm Monday through Friday.
She is over twenty four years old, okay, and she's
upset about the fact that she cannot show up during
those particular hours and questioning why would they do such

(29:11):
a thing.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
A lot of people weighing in on this, Yes, it is.

Speaker 9 (29:16):
It's kind of weird, Like I was talking to you,
Is this as it says here? It says our ladies
gym will continue to be available for all female members
as usual outside of these hours.

Speaker 1 (29:28):
So is it a lady's gym or is it no?
The way I read this is that the main gym
itself they're putting a restriction on the.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
Meat because a lot of gyms have the main area
and then they'll have a separate women's only gym with
limited equipment.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
So I kind of read this as like, all.

Speaker 4 (29:46):
You old bitches can't come work out here during four
to seven during you know, peak d afternoon drive hours. Yeah, yes,
but you're welcome to go hide out in the corner.

Speaker 9 (29:57):
That's how she's taking it too, h Because a lot
of people are thinking, what are they doing?

Speaker 1 (30:03):
That for it.

Speaker 9 (30:03):
Like social media, a lot of people record themselves, and
a lot of women, especially record themselves in the gym because.

Speaker 4 (30:10):
Only like three people collectively are actually doing it to
check their form.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
The rest of them are just like, oh, look.

Speaker 4 (30:17):
At my lady business showing through my leggings.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
Stop stop it.

Speaker 9 (30:23):
Someone says, I wonder if they're trying to attract the
influencer type crowd for some free marketing.

Speaker 4 (30:29):
The thing that's weird to me is like they're basically
saying like, oh, we want to give younger like school
aged individuals, you know, time to work out because of whatever.
Give younger members access Like okay, I get it if
it's like thirteen to eighteen, but you go into twenty four,
it starts smelling a little bit more ageist.

Speaker 9 (30:49):
Right, And if you're going to try to get a
younger crowd to come in there after school and make
it after school hours, see un till seven pm. A
lot of people bring their stuff to work with them
and go we're out after work.

Speaker 1 (31:01):
What if the Lady Celtics wanted to work out, they
got to get in shape for the season. They have
a facility on Guest Street. Someone was listening when they
were on vacation.

Speaker 10 (31:11):
I just it's stuck in my craw that you could
never mind stuck in your craw, Lady Celtics.

Speaker 7 (31:18):
But she's as he plays this song in the background,
this woman is pissed off because she wants to go
work out before seven o'clock and she can't go there
because she's over the age limit.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
This is a ridiculous policy. So this place is like
afraid of seeing grandma doing the leg press. Or I guess.

Speaker 4 (31:34):
Have you seen some of the Neanderthals working out at gym's.
I mean, it's just it's a festival of sights.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
I picked things up and I put them down. My
favorite at my gym.

Speaker 4 (31:45):
Or the the older white guys that used to coach
high school sports. Oftentimes they will have a military background,
and they just they just congregate in a circle of
just heard oh's.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
With the arms sticking out. Yeah, they get they're doing
the thing. They're the kind of guys they walk right
in front. You know, you'd be sitting on a bench.

Speaker 4 (32:04):
There's fifty feet of linear space where they could stand. Yeah,
they're gonna pick up the eighty pound dumbells and do
shrugs right in front of one directly. I'm like, Frank,
can you move to the left like three feet?

Speaker 9 (32:17):
And then what you have your bag turned? They dropped
them from about four feet. You gotta let them fly.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
So let's not do this. Let's not do these crazy hours.
Let anybody go any times.

Speaker 7 (32:32):
Sid somebody at the gym thought that it was okay
to send that email.

Speaker 16 (32:35):
Yeah, like what, Well, as someone says here, I suspect
there's some insufferable person in charge who wants a young,
hipen happening vibe and so isn't bothered about losing boring old,
middle aged women.

Speaker 4 (32:49):
But by this this account, you're considering women that are
twenty six boring old exactly. Yeah, Okay, Andrew Tate, it's you, Jim.

Speaker 2 (33:04):
It's the Chuck Nolan Morning Show, and you'll never miss
a single second of it.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
Listen to the full show podcast every day on the iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
App, and listen live every morning right here on Boston's
Classic Rock seven w z LX.

Speaker 9 (33:18):
Tyler's been bugging me to watch the Led Zephyrm documentary,
which I did Friday night when I gave up on
the Red Sox game in the seventh inning and they
had the greatest comeback in the history of mankind.

Speaker 4 (33:27):
You know.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
But it was a good documentary. I didn't tell you
to watch it then. It was a great documentary. Jimmy
Page and John Paul Jones were the nerds of the group. Yes,
stay with the music nerds. Total music nerds for sure.
Fascinating how it all came together. Yep. Really it's a
great story.

Speaker 7 (33:44):
Ending is great when they're all listening to John Bonham talk, yes,
and it's like the whole thing just comes to a
close and.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
The expressions on their faces. Yeah, you can tell their
eyes are getting military. It's good.

Speaker 7 (33:55):
It's a great documentary, Becoming what zephyl enjoy. It's on
Netflix right now. So this is interesting. This is from
our friends over at WBZ News Radio.

Speaker 9 (34:04):
They did a story about It's about texting basically and
the difference than all the generations and Generation Z, I
guess is upset about this, which I don't understand.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
Oh but I'm a gen xer who's included in this
pool and we were just talking about and I don't understand.
Let's flush it out for the people. Okay.

Speaker 9 (34:22):
So you say somebody sends you a text and you
come back with a thumbs up like okay, cool.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
Oh so you just gave me the middle finger and
told me to f off. That's how she takes it.

Speaker 4 (34:32):
That's most people that I know, even that are in
my age group. We'll take that as a passive aggressive
f you. That's what we've accected. A thumbs If you
just get a thumbs up back, like the emoji, it's
like the equivalent of saying, sure.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
What are you supposed to do?

Speaker 9 (34:47):
If you want to just get a message back, like yeah,
I got your message.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
Point exclamation point? You need that? What does that mean?
It means okay? Is that like, Wow, that's a really
great point you just made. BUGI that makes somebody not
think that you're mad at them? All right listening, that
feels like more like a later, older generation reaction.

Speaker 5 (35:06):
You know, something your dad would do, just like they've
seen it confirm it's they're not super excited.

Speaker 1 (35:10):
But what if it was one of your friends though,
like someone that's your.

Speaker 5 (35:13):
Age Maybe they're like a little upset at me or something.

Speaker 9 (35:17):
That's what I would say too, they're like a little
angry or something like that.

Speaker 10 (35:20):
I would expect more of a response if it's like
a well crafted text.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
I would expect something back then, just the thumbs up
and they're not alone.

Speaker 10 (35:27):
What yes, the generation with attachment issues? What is that?
That's ridiculous?

Speaker 4 (35:32):
PTSD from a former friend I had who that was.
That was HERMO. If she was gonna be like fu,
she would just send a thumbs up, and the rest
of us in the text chain would be like, can
you believe this bitch?

Speaker 1 (35:43):
Wouldn't she send like the angry face emoji or something
like that.

Speaker 4 (35:46):
Oh, because that would be too obvious and not childish.

Speaker 7 (35:50):
It depends though, because like, all right, say you and
I are texting chuck, yeah, and like, okay, I'll meet
you there at seven o'clock. That's the that's the line.
And then I just give you a thumbs up. Yeah,
that's it.

Speaker 8 (35:59):
That means sound exclamation point, no that.

Speaker 7 (36:03):
That's his way of saying, all right, I got it.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
It's cool.

Speaker 7 (36:07):
But if you're in the middle of a conversation with
somebody and was like, oh man, I had such a
great time last night and they just give you a
like or a thumbs up, then that's the I don't
want to talk to you anymore.

Speaker 1 (36:16):
That's the f you. Yeah that I can see you
being upset about.

Speaker 9 (36:19):
That doesn't sound like that scenario though, No, it just
sounds like for anything, if you send a thumbs up,
it's an insult.

Speaker 7 (36:25):
So the certain part you have to go over the top,
exclamation points the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
So I'd be sending Tyler the not the red heart,
but the pink hert instead.

Speaker 4 (36:32):
Well, I don't know. I hate people that't overthink the hearts,
like I'm not in love with you.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
If you reply to me with K, I love K,
I love saying just the letter K. I want to
throw you off a cliff. I want to push you
off a high structure. What if it's not even capitalized,
it's usually not. Usually for some reason autocorrects to like
lower K. Was the O too hard for you?

Speaker 9 (36:58):
Oh my god, I'm just trying to it through a
message so fast and give response back means this what
I'm going to.

Speaker 4 (37:06):
Care the hell holding my middle for there's a middle
finger remote workplace hostility.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
I'm going to care to death.

Speaker 4 (37:14):
I'm gonna mention that during our show meeting after the
show today that you're not gonna get you want to
mention that, Yeah, I'm gonna be like Tyler sent me
a thumbs up, centered K, I think, he responded, K.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
There's a lot of things that could get me fired K,
and you isn't gonna be one of them.
