Also, who doesn’t love the state of Rhode Island? Tyler will defend his homeland to the death. He and Chuck feature news from the smallest state in the union, because little Rhody is anything but normal.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
From the wzlex catcheslaw dot Com studios.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's the download with Danielle on Boston's Classic Rock one
hundred and twenty seven WZLX.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Danielle is busy destroying her skin pigmentation on the other
side of the planet, so when we aren't here handling
the download duties. And yesterday at the Big Brian Walsh trial,
it was video day. Yesterday they showed videos of Brian
Walsh going to Low's on New Year's Day, the day

(00:33):
that she disappeared, and making several purchases four hundred and
sixty three dollars worth of mops, buckets, bleach cleaning products,
I hammer, wire, snips, and he did it all wearing
latex gloves and a mask. Who goes to Low's on
New Year's Day it spends four hundred and sixty three

(00:53):
bucks on anything. Guys who just killed their wives allegedly legily,
you gotta say that. And just before he went to Lows,
there was another video of him at a swampscot liquor
store that apparently he went. He frequented throwing a trash
bag into a dumpster on New Year's Day. Yep, yep,
this is I mean mountains of evidence so far. Another

(01:14):
video from Low's wallsh appears with a child, possibly his son,
buying a trash can, a big trash can. They showed
all that in court yesterday, as well as videos of
him using the self checkout registers at the CVS and
Danvers and a stop and shop and swamps got buying
more cleaning product. What's with all the cleaning products? Yeah, buckets?

(01:37):
Why does he feel so dirty? What? His lawyer began
floating ways And apparently healthy young person could just suddenly
die hard issues, lung issues even they put out there,
dangled it out there, perhaps adventurous sexual activity. I mean
they are just grasping at straws at this point. What
else can they do? They have? Ridiculous. We still have

(01:59):
a couple more weeks of this to go. He didn't
want to take a deal. Let's talk. Let's talk big
money here. Paramount has launched a hostile bid for Warner
Brothers Discovery, despite Netflix coming forward saying we're gonna spend
billions of dollars now we have it's a whole succession
thing going on right now. So this story is out

(02:19):
of control. Yeah, we thought this was a done deal
with Netflix. Well, now Trump is saying it could be
a problem. And what's weird is that his son in
law is involved in the hostile takeover. He's got a
financial stake in that. Wait, Trump's son in law. Yeah,
oh yeah, oh boy, here we go. So one offer

(02:43):
was for thirty dollars a share. The other offer was
thirty two dollars to share for stockholders. But when I
read it sounded like the people at Netflix went into
this thinking, based on conversations they had with Trump, that
this wasn't gonna be a big deal at all. They
be able to get this done, and now all of
a sudden, he's saying it's a problem. They're like, they
gotta be going, what the hell? I thought we were

(03:05):
good free marketing work. Paramount said. The hostile bid will
be backed in parts by funds from Saudi Arabia, Qatar,
and the United Arab Emirates. All right, nothing, yeah, it's
as well as Affinity Partners, an investment firm founded by
Jared Kushner. The artistic community is losing their minds over there. Well, yeah,

(03:25):
it's it's it's less job opportunities, less companies, and the
people are saying there's gonna be a lot of AI stuff,
like an AI Batman, because they're going to have that
whole mark that uh DC Comics franchise is coming. All
of this is coming. You see an AI Batman? What
do we watch that for? We can say we won't,

(03:46):
but you just know people there are people out there
who will, oh definitely.

Speaker 4 (03:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
So it's it's gonna be an interesting year coming up.
What's gonna be happening? What happened?

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Meanwhile?

Speaker 3 (03:56):
In Sports seven Seconds of Support, it's with Tyler all right,
Santa has been good to us this year, Yes, because
he's bringing us the Bill Belichick Jordan Hudson documentary that
we didn't get earlier.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
This year.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
Vice TV is launching its new documentary franchise about sports controversies,
and it's called Out of Bounds. The debut documentary is
on Bill and Jordan and here is the trailer, a
new special from Vice Sports Bill Belichick.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
And Jordan Hudson, and it's nuts. The man who built
a dynasty.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
He is in midlife crisis. His personal life seems to
be a mess. Stepped out of Bounds into a different spotlight.
It's so cute that he's with his granddaughter out for subs.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
No, he wasn't here the story.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
No one else will tell me. It just felt like
a complete one to eighty to the Bill Belichick.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
We knew Out of Bounds Bill Belichick and Jordan Hudson
a two hour event Tuesday, December sixteenth and nine on Vice.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
Now they have to find Vice on some sort of
device because it's not on YouTube TV. I don't know
if it's on regular cable. Maybe it is, but you
can get it on to B to B. You can
get it on a Samsung Plus TV. I gotta see.
I gotta check when I get home because it's a
two hour event. I gotta download an app on my
Samsung TV. It is must see TV. You have to
watch this. The music just sounds it sounds like a

(05:17):
Brian Walsh documentary. And by the way, this series they're
doing called out of Bounds. You know what the next
one is gonna be Antonio Brown. Wow, that's pretty good.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
I mean it sounds a little cheesy and the trailer,
but you give it a shot. You gotta watch it.
I watch it two hours though it's a long time,
and I can break it up into pieces, all right.
So a lot of people like us, we were very
shocked that this Sunday's Pats Bill's game wasn't flexed to
Sunday night. Luckily it's not so we can watch the
whole thing because we have to get up early the
next day personally speaking, yep. But they will flex next

(05:48):
week's game against Baltimore in Baltimore. But we're on vacation
the next day. Yeah, so we get to watch the
whole thing, stay at late booze, eat that fun, the
whole thing, the whole whole experience, and that game also
has there's a lot of playoff implications too. Tons spent
for Baltimore. Yeah. Absolutely, this is Championship Sunday. By the way,
that's what Rabel's calling this game on something without a doubt.

(06:08):
AFC East Championship like it. I love it all right.
Baseball's Winter meetings are underway in Orlando right now, and
everybody's wondering which of the big free agent sluggers the
Socks will land. There's a whole bunch out that you
got caught, the two Kyle's Schwarmer and Tucker Cody Bellinger.
Pete Alonzo, though he's the one that's looking like might
come to the surface. He's meeting with the Socks this
week in Orlando. The Socks are the team at the meetings.

(06:31):
Everyone's looking at him like everybody knows we need. It's
the big missing piece in the line, a big time,
big poppy like Slugger. We'll see who we get. By
the way, the Hall of Fame Veterans Committee voted Jeff
Kent is your new Hall of Famer from the Veterans Committee.
Played for the San Francisco Giants alongside Barry Bonds who
did not get enough folks and you know who else

(06:52):
didn't Red Sox from a Red Sox great clements. Roger
was that that Miller light can full of uh disposed
there just may have had something to do with their
growing heads. I have known that his wife's though, didn't
he say that was his wife? Yeah, my dog ate
my homework. That was basically the argument, all right, Charlie
McAvoy apparently closer to returning than we thought after taking

(07:14):
that slap shot to the face. This guy's still eating
baby food, but he's gonna be on this road trip
to Saint Louis, a three game road trip and sold
David Pasternak. Maybe we're gonna get the two back. That
is amazing. He has to get extra luggage to be
carrying his testicles on this trip. I gotta give him.
That is God, that is truly amazing. Puck drops it eight.

(07:37):
Hopefully his testicles don't. Finally, nobody has bigger problems this.
We used to have problems at quarterback for the last
five years. We don't anymore. You know who does have
problems right now? Who's that? The Indianapolis Colts Daniel Jones
out for the season. They got back up Riley Leonard.
Let's be honest, he's Riley Leonard, and he's he's gonna
hurt Riley Leonard, not just Riley Leonard at his best.

(08:00):
Anthony Richardson's on the Act won't be activated from IR.
But they've decided. Who's left to go to the well
one more time? Who who with a forty four year
old who's been sitting on the couch for the last
five years, future Hall of Famer potentially Philip Rivers. Philip Rivers,
Philip Rivers is going in for a workout today. Who
is not playing a game in five years? Five years?

(08:21):
He's forty four years old. I think they had six
or seven more kids in the last five years. This
guy's gonna go out there and play NFL football. He
has not been doing the TB twelve method of pliability
and what happened. I do not think he's been on
any sort of Wow. We'll see what happens. I hope
he plays in a leather helmet. Oh god, that would
be funny. All right, that sports up, Tyler. This is

(15:37):
check in time, all right, Christmas time, check in time
eight seven seven six seven. Download the free Alheart radio app.
Use that talk back. But we want to hear from
you because right now Christmas trees are up. I have
some neighbors who put theirs up before Thanksgiving. I could
see them in the window, all lit up, the garland

(15:57):
on them, the ornaments, everything going. I do know one
house that I drive by and I always have to
look over because it's up all year. I told you
that's my mother does that all year long, that tree.
I find that very strange. She hasn't taken it down
and waist all. She had that only like since she retired.
I would know. I would say, since in my adult

(16:20):
life she took it. They would take it down when
I was a kid, Which if we're going to keep
it up, I guess that's the time to do it.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Mom.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
She's also like an obsessed Christmas light up. It's not
like your traditional Christmas tree. It's like a very fancy
decorative and it has lights already built into it, so
you just turn them on and off and it's just
a whole haunting. Absolutely. Yeah, there's nothing funny than sleeping
on my mom's couch and is a Christmas tree two

(16:48):
feet away in July. It's got the old ornaments that
bubble Christmas lights off. All right, so the Christmas trees
are up. We have a gut nars. Yet we're talking
about getting it this week. You still have and done it,
you know, because the kids are away and all that.
I even bother, it's just a pain for me to
go up in the attic and get the Christmas stuff down.

(17:08):
There's only one reason why you're putting up a tree
this year. You already said it, because your daughter's coming.
Home from Scotland and she insists on having it. And
you have to decorate the tree outside the light. You
did that in the cold. Well you have to wear
killed alright. I have to wear the kilt, all right.
So Christmas trees are up. They look beautiful, they're gorgeous.
Christmas morning, nothing like it's right there, it's all lit up, holly,

(17:29):
music playing all that stuff. We want to know when
do you take down your Christmas tree? How long after Christmas?
Maybe Christmas Day? Some people do Yeah, some people do
it Christmas Christmas night. Get over, get it out of here,
get it out the carca is. We always wait way
too long because I want to get it down with

(17:51):
him a couple of days, and I always get shouted
down upon it. So I'm one is dragging it out?
Is just leaving tons of needles the whole way out
the door. When did the Nolan's typically take it down
after New Year's? Will you wait? Okay?

Speaker 5 (18:05):
Now?

Speaker 3 (18:05):
Well, Pelosi, you're an interesting one because just your first
year cohabitating, when do you what's the plan?

Speaker 5 (18:11):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (18:12):
Well, probably leave it up to New Year, like the
weekend of New Year's. Maybe that'll be the weekend to
take it down. I guess, okay, oh, such a pain,
and take it down and get the ornaments. You don't
want any browning? Yeah, but it always does. They say,
what are your tree? Do you have to do one
of those? No, I never put water in. It's you.
I'm just saying, Jesus Kerosene. We put lick candles on it.

(18:34):
I smoke near it. I don't put any water in.
Its just asking you're being safe out. It's just a question.
So tell us about your tree. I give you the
Griswold family Christmas tree.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
A lot of sappen here, sad.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
When do you take it down? How many days after?
How many hours after Christmas?

Speaker 5 (19:07):
Well?

Speaker 3 (19:07):
How many months?

Speaker 1 (19:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (19:09):
Are you one of those weirdos? Timer's mom leaves it
up all year. When I was a kid, it was
up till probably the end. But if you leave it
up all year and like that's your thing, that's fine.
But if you're just like lazy and it's just starting
to look sad and sad and sad, it's got hanging
clothes on it, like plighting appointment. The last thing with
my mom's tree, it wasn't from laziness. It's just because
she loves it so much.

Speaker 5 (19:30):
She likes it.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
That's different. She keeps it up. She wants to Christmas
Spirit three sixty five. All Right, you're trying to sell
it to me like it's a normal thing. It's not.
Believe me. I think it's ridiculod. Every Kelly would I
think it would be great if Kelly decided. Dude, every
single time I go down to Florida and I see
my parents, I walk in the living room and I
immediately start laughing. I'm like, I can't believe you still
have a Christmas tree up.

Speaker 5 (19:50):
This is stupid.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
It's one hundred and two degrees in the middle of July.

don't want to discriminate for your tree, for your tree

(20:39):
when we put up the tree, like we have the
collection of ornaments that we've had for years, and like
Kelly's mom used to gift us all the seight Swarovski
stuff that we have to wea that I have to careful.
I have to handle it like it's to drop that
like it's a nuclear weapon. Don't drop it, don't stack
it on the bottom, It's going to go on the top.

(21:00):
She has all this stuff from her child. I have
one ornament from my childhood. It's a little plastic snowman
with a broken arm, and every time I'm put it
on the tree, reminds me, oh, my depressing child and
origin story. You actually still have it. I still have it,
and I was thinking about it just now. Oh God,
I gotta put that on the tree and I'll stare

(21:22):
at it. Did it come with the arm already broken
or did you break it off? I don't know how
the arms broken. My father probably threw it. Oh see,
you had to bring it up, Tyler, bad memories. Don't cry,
all right. So the tree is up. It looks beautiful,
It's gorgeous. You're watering it. It's full. You get the
kids decorations, and you're loving the fact that you paid

(21:46):
one hundred and twenty bucks for a tree that used
to pay fifty four. But you love it. You love
that tree. Inflation tariffs. Question is when do you take
down your Christmas tree? How long does it stay up?
All right? One of those people? It gets down right away?
Or do you really want to make it last the
twelve days of Christmas plus the two months of Christmas?

(22:07):

to a ba humbug. So I sometimes put a tree up,
and if if I do put a tree up, I
just wait till whatever day I look at it and
I'm just disgusted by Christmas and I'm like, i gotta
come down. So I don't care if it's December twenty
sixth or January sixth or June, whatever day. I look

(24:12):
at the tree and I just want to throw it
out the window. That's when it comes down.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
There you go, all right, Sean, giving us the perspective
of a guy who takes the tree, throws it on
the front lawn, just watches it burn. Yep, hopes it
gets stolen. Oh my god, I hope the kids are listening. Yeah,
mad from stone them. When do you take down your tree?

Speaker 7 (24:33):
Well, I gotta say I have no effort in putting
it up, But as far as taking it down, I
would say the minimum time would be right after New
Year's But for a quarter century, you want to make
space for the Patriots playoffs in your living room? Have
more people in there? I don't know. I would say
get it out of there for.

Speaker 5 (24:50):
Tray May and the team that wakes up.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
A good point. I like it back to our old
school ways of making the playoffs might be bad luck
if you take it down to for a while. You
should try that at home trucks, you know what, we
should take the tree down for the game. When to
Super Bowl February one? Yes, yeah, that's your last stitch effort.
By then it's early February at this point, Brendan from Bedford,
when are you taking the tree down? My father will

(25:16):
bring one in from the VFW night of and that
thing will be out the door and in the front
yard by the night over. Waite Christmas Eve. I love it.

Speaker 5 (25:26):
Oh yeah, he's got OCD vackums about five times a day.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
So no pine anywhere nowhere.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
The twenty four hour tree Victorian Christmas twenty four hour
tree for twenty four bucks. That is amazing. Yeah, you
get the sale. They're trying to get rid of the tree,
so it's on sip got the twenty four hour tree.
I love that answer. If this was a contest, he's
the winner.

Speaker 5 (25:46):
Wait.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
Wait, like wrapping paper, what was the situation after unwrapping
presence in that house? Do you actually decorate the tree?
All right, let's let's keep it Christmas Eve for the
sake of sam Eddie from Drake at good morning.

Speaker 5 (26:04):
Everybody. Yeah, sumber twenty tree comes down and goes to
the track. Christmas is over day after.

Speaker 3 (26:11):
That's it. Yeah, that's it. Just get it up, get
it down. Yeah, but we didn't open up the Christmas
presents from Ed Phillis. I don't care. Open the door,
get it out, get it out, throw it in the trash.
I love the twenty four hour tree. That's the best
thing with it. That's crazy. I love that. All right,
let's hit a couple of these talkbacks off the free
iHeartRadio app. Yeah, we're really lucky in that our sun

(26:34):
is a New Year's Day baby, so we have to
have everything down before it's birthday time. Beautiful. That's actually
works out pretty good. I have a reason for it.
Oh all right, got to clear that thing out. Oh
Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree, we take you down on
into the Year's Day. Did you like it? We have

(27:02):
a new singer, Well, do you like it? I think
appreciate the effort our old singer Kevin is starting a trend.
You know, you don't have to sing your answer. You don't.
Let's really want to. You can yell it, you can
talk it, you can scream it. So he said New
Year's Day. You know who wasn't taken down there Christmas
Tree on New Year's Day? Bryan Walsh? He was it low?

(27:23):
Oh god, what is allegedly allegedly? What did he just say?
Eight seven seven, six hundred point seven use a talk
bag button on the free iHeartRadio app. When you tossing
up that tree, tell us put.

Speaker 2 (27:37):
A face to the voice by following at WCX on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube,
and TikTok.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
At Chef on Morning Show.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
On one hundred point seven WSX Boston's Classic Rock.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
It's a total goof off week this week, next week,
everything leading up to Christmas. People are chewing up their
final vacation days that they never used, yep stuff to do. This,
travels to take what have you, basically getting into the
festive holiday spirit, and we're doing that as well here
at the Chuck Noll the Morning Shows. Despite the fact
that Danielle he's not in the holiday spirit. She's probably

(28:11):
five six, maybe eight drinks deep by now over in
Thailand on the beach. It's like post dinner time right
now where she is. Yeah, she's like ripping it up
at absolutely every night has been said two weeks of this.
What's she going to be like when she gets back here.
She's gonna be a puddle. She's not gonna be more
than anymore. So our check in today is all about

(28:32):
the Christmas tree. Eight seven seven six one hundred point
seven leave us a talkback on the free iHeartRadio app.
It's after Christmas presents have been opened boxes all over
the place, iPhone seventeen. Oh you shouldn't have. My question
is when do you take down your Christmas tree? When

(28:53):
is it over? When is it time to rip that
thing down and spend the rest of the year still
finding needles all over the place. I think we found
the one guy with the greatest answer, which was the
twenty four hour tree. That's amazing. It's it on Christmas Eve.
It's gone Christmas night. What an efforts. I'd love it.
Do you decorate? Do you even bother decorate? Just put
a tree? I just throw it in the corner and

(29:14):
take it out the next day. God, it's got snow on.
It's just dripping some of that popcorn string on it.
Call it. It's a beautiful thing. Let's hit some of
the talk backs on the free iHeart Radio app.

Speaker 5 (29:24):
Welcome to the Chuck Nolan Show where we make fun
of Tyler and we take our Christmas tree down.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
December twenty sixth, December twenty six It's the Chuck One
Morning Show. Thank you to get that right, Thank you.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
We'd like the Chuck you.

Speaker 4 (29:36):
We take our tree down before we go back to
work after New he is and my old home had
a third story with the tree was, and I'd have
the kids sit in the window by the driveway and
I'd chuck the tree out the window and they get
a good chuckle out of it, and we hit the
ground and I'll leave it. The little things would go
all over the place.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
I love that idea. Yeah, that's a great family tradition
through it the tossing of the Christmas tree. Now, don't
get underneath it, don't know. The Christmas tree comes on
and we's gone. After New Year is consistently every year,
half away and waiting for next year because after New
Year's yeah, I think, okay, it was raining where he was,

(30:17):
that wasn't That means this year it takes. New Year's
is on the first on a Thursday, so by Saturday
he's gone. Saturday the third he's out. Christmas tree is gone.
We go after New Year's and I gotta put a check.
I gotta put it by the curve and put a
check on it for the boy Scouts we collected. Oh okay,
I can't just put it in the trash. They're gonna
put it out there with a check. So it cost

(30:39):
you money to buy it, and it cost you money
to get rid of it. Don't get me started, all right,
I put in the compost pile. Jeez, you have to
do your part. Good morning, morning crew. I lived with
some roommates last year and they put up their Christmas
tree like two days after Halloween and it didn't come

(30:59):
down until like March.

Speaker 5 (31:02):
It was right outside my bedroom and I absolutely loved it,
being a jew who loves Christmas.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
It was amazing.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
The whole house was decked out. It was great.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
Man, that's no, that's a five month Christmas. That's a lot.
That's crazy. Like a real tree. A real tree can't
last that long. They might have to be fake. Yeah,
just right outside his bedroom, though, said hey, let's put
it outside the Jewish kids bedroom. Probably some friends. He
loved it, though, all right, I have a juice.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
He just wanted to take a minute.

Speaker 3 (31:35):
And uh, she's that one collar that kid that called in, Brady,
what a great caller. And uh, as far as your
content is concerned, it's never that bad. And uh, what
I enjoy the most is you treat everybody well everybody.
And uh, those Montassori kids wicked, smart, wicked, smile, wicked,

(31:56):
equal opportunity offenders. That's it, you know, I'm Brady, our
new friend and our new nine year old listener that
we have gave us a five star rating. He said,
nice kid. Yeah, a lot of nice kids out there.

Speaker 5 (32:07):
Hi, this is Billy. My mom will let me listen
to you guys.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
So I'm skipping school, smoking cigarettes, throwing rocks and breaking windows.

Speaker 5 (32:17):
So thanks for the influence.

Speaker 7 (32:19):
Appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
Merry Christmas from the Chuck Nolan Mornings really said, Check
Nylan Morning Show on Boston's Classic Rode seven w's z
LX and.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Wherever you may roam on the free iHeartRadio.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
App those of your regular listeners, Chuck Nolan Morning Show. Now,
Danielle Murr is a big part of the show. On
vacation Tyler as well. Tyler is the pride of Rhode Island. Yes,
born in the town of Warwick. Warwick. Yes, you're right
near the airport. Right near the airport, near the runway
house would shake the formative years of your life. So

(32:57):
every now and then we'd like to take a look
back towards the greatest little state in the Union and
we do a Rhode Island update, and we haven't done
that in a while. There's a lot of reasons to now.
There's some stuff going on to Rhode Island we want
to share with you guys. So that's coming up, a
Rhode Island update with a fancy intro and everything from
Boston's Classic Road one or two point seven w z LX.

(33:21):
It's the smallest US state in Tyler's Tough Story Road,
Little Roady, the biggest little state in the Union, the
state with the bug on the building on ninety five,
the big blue bug. Yeah, on the Thurber's Avenue curve.

(33:41):
That is the cit Go sign of Providence. Kind of
bug it actually is. I know that weird to say that.
I don't think We're Islanders are as proud of that
as we are of the city Go sign here. Yeah,
I can guarantee you that. But if they were to
take the bug down, it would be a big deal.
People would lose their minds. Yeah, congratulate. Since one of
Rhode Island's most beloved waterfront hangouts has earned national recognition,

(34:04):
USA today is officially ranked Ocean Missed in Matunic, South Kingston. Yeah,
as one of the best dive bars in the country.
It's I've never been there, It's I haven't been there
in years. It is a phenomenal place to be in
the summertime. You're literally right on the water. I'm looking
at the photo of the place. I can see the
waves coming up in underneath the deck. Yes, that's beautiful.

(34:28):
And they always have live bands. She's got great food.
It's it's just a tremendous, tremendous place. It is a
standard in Rhode Island in the summertime. You got to
go to the ocean mist. One detail that made USA
Today's round up the ladies room stalls still have shower
curtains instead of doors, a quirky touch that longtime fans

(34:50):
say is part of the charm, a little different. It's
a little different that was missing to the begetting part
of shower curtains. How often they change those shower curtains.
Do you think that's a good question, Yeah, I hope.
So the big question is I'm looking at some of
the comments on the Instagram post, and I haven't been

(35:11):
there in a long time, so I don't know. But
I was wondering they're wondering if you could still spark
up a cigarette, rip a dart on the deck, on
the deck because it's outside. I just remember back in
the day when I was a smoker, I gonna go
outside and rip a butt. Looks a little flammable as
I look at the building there that's been up for
a long time. A little old, yeah, a little bit.
It's a little rickety. Moving on Rhode Island, cops had

(35:31):
their hands full of Thanksgiving weekend. They pulled fifty four
alleged drunk drivers off the roads during Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
Fifty four for some reason to me, honestly, that number
seems low. You're going to say that, eh, is that
low Forward Island. I just think it's low in general.
On Thanksgiving weekend. People were idiots on Thanksgiving, absolutely, especially

(35:53):
that Wednesday night the night before, because that's the amateur
night everybody goes out to hook up with their friends. Yeah.
I mean there's like so many people I know who
go like twice a year. That's one of the nights
to night and it's just like and the other one
is like New Year's and then you're a mess Thanksgiving Day.

Speaker 5 (36:06):
But you do it.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
Yeah, you fall asleep on the couch, You're already exhausted,
you're hungover, adding the trip to fan and the wine. Yeah,
you're told you do that Wednesday night until one year
you're out there and you look around you realize, oh
my god, I'm too old to be doing this. Yeah,
what am I doing? I had that year. I should
be home.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
Yep.

Speaker 3 (36:24):
But fifty four, that seems like a low number to me.
I mean, I know it's a small state. Yeah, but
fifty four is not I feel like that's a good number.
It's a bad number, don't get me wrong, but I
feel like it could have been higher. I feel like
I could have been way higher. All right, I'd like
to hear I want to hear the Massachusetts number. We
should figure that out. Let's get on that. Alight on,
Jack's on there. This is a horrible story here, this

(36:45):
is Yeah, this is a lot of good. Rhode Island
Music Hall of Famer Rory McLeod died on Saturday after
getting struck by a vehicle while I was walking his dogs.
It's one of those situations where he's walking his dogs.
You know, you get you're back to traffic and a
car or vehicles some kind jumped over, hit a couple
of telephone poles as well as him. He was walking

(37:06):
on the shoulder of the roadway. He was in, Uh
what was the band room full of Blues. I remember them. Yeah,
they used to play around here a lot. They played
a lot up and down the coast. They were a big,
big local band. I think they were for a Grammy
at one time, back in the eighties. They were, Yeah,
they were. They were a big deal. I used to
hear the Room full of Blues. I used to hear
that name all the time growing up in like commercials

(37:28):
on the radio, when they were playing is always playing
Play on Sunday Morning was always Carter did oh yeah,
oh wow on the Sunday Morning Blue Show. Correct oh wow,
remember that? Remember that. I gotta tell you. When I
saw this headline, I freaked out instantly because I have
a cousin who's a semi famous musician in Rhode Island
and he lives in the same town. Oh wow, and

(37:52):
my heart skipped twenty beats. I was like, Oh my God,
but I guarantee he knows him. To make this even worse,
the person who hit him supposedly has been arrested over
one hundred times. What are we doing over a hundred times?
Numerous illegal narcotics and packaging materials commonly associated with drug distribution.

(38:13):
That's what they found on her. How is this person driving?
How is she not in jail? Forty one year old Shannon?
And god bout that's amazing. You fellows come from Providence.
You look at the picture of her and it's exactly
what you think. It's going to be. Terrible, just some
whacked out lady. We should grab some room full of blues.
You want to grab some jack jack all right? We

(38:35):
got to do it for Rory. Yeah right, yes, definitely,
all right, there we go, Rhode Island.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
R It's almost perfect. The only thing missing your voice
voice use the top that feature on your iHeartRadio app.
Then make WC I'll act your number one preset.

Speaker 3 (38:52):
We're just talking about that horrible story out of Rhode Island,
that Rhode Island Music Hall of Famer Rory McLeod died
on Saturday's hit by a car woman driving has been
arrested over one hundred times. Why she's not in jail
is another story altogether. This guy was with room full
of blues, which I had mentioned. I think they were
Grammy nominated. You said how many times? Five times? Five times?
Nominated for Grammy, won a ton of awards and other

(39:15):
like you know, blues music awards and all that, but
five Grammy nominations. They used to play everywhere, everywhere, all
over New England, and they would tour nationally as well.
And Pelosi found this clip with them at Loopos. You

(39:36):
could smell that crowd a lot of times, a lot
of nights at LOOPOS. That's a great place. Oh my god.
That was there forever. He closed like seven eight years ago. Yeah,
take twenty seventeen. The guy sold and it absorbed into
like the Strand in this other place, and so it's
still there, like, but they also relocated a million times
over the years. But it's a legendary spot. Oh my god.
So many huge bands played at LOOPOS. Yep, Loopos, the

(39:58):
living Room, the Stranders were all big plays. It's big
spots of Rhde Islands. However, Providence was not named one
of the top US cities from music lovers. Unfortunately. It's
a bummer. It's just came out brand new study the
city's best for music lovers. It's not Nashville, number one Atlanta.
I would not have guessed that. I would not have

(40:19):
guessed that. It's a big R and B city. So
a lot of R and B artists come out of there.
Hip hop and R and B. I would never think
that though. Yeah, I wouldn't either. Big deal. Though I
don't know how they did. This ranking has something to
do with how many venues per one hundred thousand people,
blah blah blah, all this kind of thing, but yeah,
number one. Miami and New Orleans tied for second place.

(40:40):
I could see New Orleans, but Miami. I guess that
bothered you. Well, as a former resident of Miami, I
think it bothered you just because the amount of venues there.
I mean, I'm sure there's a lot more now than
when I was there. Probably, yeah, for live music at
the time when I was there, there wasn't a lot.
But of course the Latin flame that music's down. Well, yeah,

(41:02):
Latin music music explosion happened in the nineties. Yeah, I'm
sure Miami went with it. Boston is in there. Where
are we ranked number five? All right, we're top five,
number five.

Speaker 5 (41:14):
I like that.

Speaker 3 (41:15):
For local venues per one hundred thousand people, Boston has
twenty five point eight six venues. Tyler, name them how
many again? Twenty five point eight six? Just give me
twenty five six? Yes, what's the the math that they use?
Was there a half a spot, give me twenty five.
I'll round it off for you. Nowadays for local music,

(41:36):
I mean they got to all be in Cambridge, right,
I'm sure Middle East, Middle least upstairs, downstairs, downstairs, right?
Is it just Boston? Are we talking like the song?
I don't know, all right, but we're trying to answer
the question. Then it's Minneapolis, Minneapolis. Since Prince died, Minneapolis

(41:57):
still there. Seventh Avenue was a big place, like I
don't know if it's still there, but that could be
part of it. Since where Prince played San Francisco, I
can see Nashville is number eight, Vegas number nine. Of
course National's number eight. That seems crazy considering how they
build themselves in the world. You know, it's real low. Yeah,
And there's that one stretch of Nashville. It's all bars

(42:17):
country bands playing that've been there. Kid Rocks got a
place there. I ain't the country I didn't go there.
Nashville is a fawn city, man, I've never been. I
always wanted to go. It's a blast, it's you can't
have a bad time in Nashville. Always talk about going
to Nashville when the Patriots are playing there. On the
Titans just make a trip out of you should do it.
That's a good road trip for the pats. I like

(42:39):
that number five though, right in the middle of the
of the list. There We'll see if we can get higher.
Next one we could do better. We can do better.
We should open a club. Let's do it. I got
an great investment. Chuck's Bar and Grill.

Speaker 1 (42:51):
