Speaker 6 (00:43):
No beaches, we have beaches.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
There's the beaches, tremendous beaches. There's a great theme song
and everything we have.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
But I think that I'm inclined.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
To say that roadiest my heart. You can keep the fody,
all right. It's beautiful and now and now and now.
Brand new list of twenty twenty five list of the
safest cities in America. Sure, there's some New England communities
in there, but there's one that stands out at number
(01:17):
one in America in America, the entire country. Correct, Okay,
go ahead, congratulations. Warwick, Rhode Island. Warwick, Rhode Island, Now,
I can't even I grew up. That's the city I
grew up in. No. I mean, it's not like crime
filled or anything. But to call it the safest city
in America, that'd be like calling Boston the cheapest city
(01:39):
in America. No, it's because of the low risk of
natural disasters. No earthquakes in Warwick, am I right? Ye,
earthquakes anywhere in Rhode Islands. No natural disasters is no
natural disasters anywhere in Rhode Island. Relatively low rates of
aggravated assaults, thefts, and murders per capita.
Speaker 6 (01:59):
In Tyler down there, you'll have a murder.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Yeah, exactly. Congratulations, man, it's all right. So this Warwick
when I grew up, awesome, middle class, blue collar kind
of town.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Right.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
It had its ritzy area over near Warwick Neck where
the old Rocky Point amusement park was, where they have
bathrooms inside inside the house.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
Yeah, you mean like my Auntie Yvaughn's apartment in East
Boston and the triple decker with the bathroom was outside
the apartment down the hall.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Oh no, yeah, they were all down the hall. Yeah,
that's no good.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
Like shared, No, like you you would you would get
into the unit, the bathroom would be on the right,
then you'd have a long hallway then you actually get
into the apartment. So the bathroom wasn't part of the
apartment proper.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
My grandparents house the same way, yes, same way. Yeah,
get out of the way. The ice man's coming up
the stairs. What is that there's still a coal shoot
in the basement. Yes, no, no, we had We had
actual bathrooms in Warwick. That was great. But yeah, it
was like like the neighborhood I grew up in was
like all families right with kids. Every house had kids.
Every dad was a blue collar guy. My old man
(03:03):
was a truck driver. The guy next door was a postman.
Yet an engine an air conditioner, guy next to him
an electrician. That's how it was. It was safe, you know,
I grew up in that time. Everybody left their doors unlocked.
It was sure. It was awesome. It's like the King
of Queens.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Yeah, but the city got run down quite a bit
because of the airport. Like the street I grew up
on the back half of it, there's only two houses
left because of the airport. They're all gone. They bought
them all out. My house that I grew up was
actually one of them, and I just watched. I go
visit quite a bit, and I've watched over the years
it get that particular neighborhood get really run down. So
how it's maybe it is safe, I guess, but it's
(03:40):
just not the same as it used to be. So
if I had to pick any city in the entire
country as number one on that list, I know I
would never pick one. Oh my god, do you hear
what I'm hearing.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
It's not a tough city.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Don't get me wrong. It's not like a tough town.
It's just a picture a young tyler riding his bikes
with the baseball cards in the spokes bike right. Yes,
Americana at its best it was, and it seems like
baseball everybody involved in the show except for me. It
grew up in the shadow of an airport with planes
going overhead. Yes, yeah, that's true. You're the only one
(04:12):
that didn't absorbed a lot of fuel.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
I was literally across the street from the runway logan.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Yeah, my front stairs are a football field away from
the runway. If probably not even that long. It affects
a person. Oh due when the planes would go over,
house would shake. My mom's china dishes were rattling.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
We had vegas mirrors in my bathrooms and East Boston,
so my mom and I lived in the first floor,
my grandparents on the second floor. My GOTU on the
third floor, so they had a bathroom mirror that was
probably like I don't know, twelve thirteen feet long, one
single piece of glass. And when the concord came through it,
because it blew the sound barrier, it loosened all the
(04:50):
glue on the wall, the entire panel of glass. Camp
we had to have mass port come in. It was
like a whole thing. It was a mess one store.
I almost got to kill it.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
I'm like eight years old, trying not to live near
the airport. That would have been a natural disaster in Warwick, saying, oh,
I mean, look, take some primaries. Take the W. I love,
I'll take I'll take the W. But it's absurd. Let's
just say it's absurd. Congratulations your rec Rhode Island number one.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Way to go.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
The Chuck Nolan Morning Show gets around. Take it with you,
listen on the iHeartRadio app. Even when you're not in
the car and make your number one pre set seven w.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Z LX Boston's classic rock.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
What is it day twenty one of the government shutdown
today on.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
Twenty two I think today is twenty two, three weeks
no end in sight.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Yeah, they're not talking to each other at all.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
The people in charge of the nuclear stockpile are getting
for love today.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
So that's one I heard that. It's it was like
sixteen hundred people. They're going to keep about four hundred. Okay,
all right, there's the people sitting in the silos.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
Good.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
I thought it had to be two people. It's like
on my mark turned the key.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
Yeah, they're fourteen hundred being furloughed. Fewer than four hundred
people remained on the job. Put your finger here, yeah,
like in severance, stretch to the other side of the room.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
A finger, a toe over here. Well. Airports have started
to collect food and other essentials for employees who are
still working and not getting paid.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
That's where we.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Are right now. God, they just started doing this Thursday.
They started doing this in Las Vegas, collecting food, toiletries,
baby products, pet food for the pets.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
God, man, I just did a run yesterday. Wow.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Yeah, it's expensive.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Everything is so expensive. They say, we're accepting gift cards
for retail, for gas, for grocery stores, baby supplies, all
the things that people need, helping them get by during
this government shutdown. And like you said, there's no end
in sight. No, we're three weeks into this. I can
only imagine if this goes through Thanksgiving what that's going
to be like. Can you imagine all the travel right problems? Yeah,
(07:06):
you just get a feeling after a while, your traffic
controllers just gonna stop showing up. They're not getting paid.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
I'm so glad I'm flying internationally two days after.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Thanks Does that make a difference flying internationally?
Speaker 6 (07:17):
Logan, Well, yeah, I mean because you're you've got all
the crew on the ground here, so it's just you're
still going through the airport. You're still moving through the airport,
still going to go through the process. I'm thankful that
I have pre check and clear and all the and
global entry, all the accoutrements, so I don't have to
wait as long. But oh my god, if you're an
average traveler that doesn't have that kind of stuff, Like
if you if you travel once every few years and
(07:39):
you happen to be going away just to see family exactly.
Godd you get stuck at a customs line on the
way back.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
I remember flying with the kids when they are like
four and two, going out to Colorado with Thanksgiving. Oh
my god, what an s shoe? Oh my god, just
trying to get everything together and baby chairs and all
this kind of thing, getting them on a plane what
have you? And here we have who have probably planned
this over the course of the past year a trip
to get out there, and the delays could be insane.
(08:07):
I'm actually getting worried about it. My mom's coming to
visit for Christmas. Yeah, I'm like, oh, she's going to
be here for a month by Christmas. It has to
be over right.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Well that about Thanksgiving? But yeah, screaming toward it.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
What was the longest ever shutdown? Like, what's the record?
Thirty seven days? Yeah, it's thirty seven days. I to
get back in twenty seventeen. I hate to be negative
about it, but it's like we're going to blow that away.
It does feel like that. Yeah, most these two desides
do not want to talk to each other well, and
also if they in the government shutdown, it happens again
in November, like November twentieth or something.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
It's very interesting.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
So I don't know, are they doing this at Logan,
Are they doing food drives? I don't know.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
I'm in a lot of airport groups on the Facebook.
I know that'll shock you, but I'm seeing a lot
of people posting about, like a lot of TSA and
playes posting and they're just like, yeah, this is the
last time we got paid, and like I got a family,
I got kids, Like I got a car problem.
Speaker 7 (09:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
I think the last time they were play was on
the fifteenth. So they're coming around to go without a
paycheck right when the rent and mortgages do great at
the end of the month. It's horrible flying out to Chicago.
Bring some uncrustables and some Kansas soup with you. Get
this thing started, you know, Yeah, I'll drop them off
in Katar. Sure that'll go over. Tyler could have left
(09:27):
his edibles they was trying to get through. Tay. Anything
to help just Leaven right there.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Anything Put a face to the voice by following at
w X on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok. A chef
show on one point seven ws X Boston's classic rock.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Tyler, What is the biggest sport in the world?
Speaker 6 (09:49):
Accent say the right word, say.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
With the accent, Yes, do it? I think I sounded
like German when I did that. Actually, sorry, footsball of course.
Next year World Cup twenty twenty six. I think we
have seven games at Gillette's something like that and we
get a handful. All right. It's been played for many, many,
(10:15):
many years. Huge event. During a price conference yesterday in
the White House, the President was asked about the street
takeovers in Boston, and somehow it got around to the
World Cup Bosto.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
I had some street takeovers that we saw.
Speaker 8 (10:28):
Are you is the main? Are you gonna work with
a tri and work with the mayor of Boston? And
then they have a World Cup? They have several World
Cup games. I know Argentina knows about World Cups. They
have several World Cup games. Could those games move to
cities and duber we could, We can take them away.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I love the people of bus and I know the
games are so. But your mayor is not good. They're
worse than her. At least she's intelligent, all right.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
He goes off on Mayor wou for a good ten
minutes after that. But he's talking about taking the games
away from as he says, Boston, despite the fact that
it's thirty miles away in Foxborough.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
That's very interesting.
Speaker 9 (11:06):
But he went on some more, and the answer is yes,
if somebody is doing a bad job, and if I
feel this unsafe conditions, I would call Johnny, the head
of FIFA, who's phenomenal, and I would.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Say, let's move it to another location, and he would
do that.
Speaker 9 (11:20):
He would love to do it, but he'd do it
very easily.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
He'd do it. And this is the right time to
do it.
Speaker 9 (11:26):
If if I thought Boston was doing suffering, what was
going to be cause safety conditions for the uh, you know,
World Cup?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Boston better clean up their act. That's all I can say.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Wow, they count that came out of nowhere yesterday? Did
is it? Wouldn't it be incredibly difficult at this point
to move it?
Speaker 6 (11:46):
This would be imp from a logistics standpoint wherever you
put it. They're not they're not ready for it, like
it takes a long time years for this.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Yeah, and they're expecting two million visitors for World Cup
coming here. That's one point one billion dollars in revenue
being brought in. And like you said, they've been they've
been planning this for years and it's next year. You
can't just pack it up and move it someplace else.
It's literally months. You can't throw it in Albany. It's
(12:15):
not gonna work. So yeah, okay, we'll see what happened there.
It is there, it is are not in Boston. It's
still on. If you have tickets, hang onto your ticket. Yeah,
don't sell, don't scalp them, just yet, all right, don't
cancel those hell tonal Yeah, just yet.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
Your hotel rooms in Revere that say Boston Logan Hotel.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
The World Cup will be held out back of Burncoat
Senior High in Wooster.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
From the wzlex catches Law dot Com Studios, this is
your home to the Chuck Nolan Morning Show and Boston's
Classic Rock.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
We are one hundred point seven w z LX Boston
makes the Check Nylon Morning Show on Boston's Classic Rock
seven w CLX.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
And wherever you may roam on the free iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
All right, we have a station refrigerator situation. It's reached
critical mass.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
This is so bad.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
There was a rotting smell emanating from the kitchen here.
Somebody put up a sign on the refrigerator saying do
not leave food in here to rot. Detective mirror. Yeah,
went and checked it out. And upon further inspection, what
did you find?
Speaker 6 (13:31):
I found the culprit to be so a lot of
people in here get meals from meal prep services to
come in the cooler bag. And perhaps if you bring
in a whole cooler bag full of meals, you might
forget they're in there, especially if you're traveling a lot
for work to other markets and other stations like our pal.
I don't know McKay, but kiss who has a tote
or refrigerator tote full of meals?
Speaker 4 (13:52):
And did you open up this?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (13:53):
Well, I had that's where that's the only plant. Mikey
V has a bag in there from Neutrie, but it's empty.
So uh, McCabe's bag is stocked full meal. He probably
forgot it's in.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Where did you find it? Like a collection of cheeses,
maybe some crackers, stuff like.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
That, a lemon baked tilapia. The best by date was
ten to nine. That the smell is emanating from that bag.
I don't want to throw the meals out in the kitchen,
because then the whole kitchen is going to stink.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
So I don't know. I don't know if the right
now on the dumpster we have rotting fish in the kitchen.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
He has passed hard in kitchen offenses.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Here's the deal, guys, walk away, just walk away. It's
gonna get it's just stay out of the kitchen. This
is the microwaves sat it to five minutes and walk away.
A little behind the scenes for our listeners. Before we
launched the show, I bought our own refrigerator, and this
is the reason why the cocon there. This is the
reason why so because this happens in radio stations around America.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
But I got to go in there for the hot
water for my bone broth.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Well, yeah, boat, I mean it's just killed it all right.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Today seven WZLX.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Right here on the Chuck Nolan Morning Show, everybody, we
answer the ah old question.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Am I the a hole?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
And if you have an ahole moment that needs a solution,
email the crew at Chucks Show at WCLX dot com.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
We got an email from Nate. He says, Hey, guys,
this is Nate and I'm a fan of the show
and I was hoping I could get your side on
an argument I'm having with my girlfriend right now. So
we started streaming a movie the other night that I
really wanted to watch. About thirty minutes into the movie,
my girlfriend fell asleep, and I continued to watch the movie.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
She woke up about an hour after the movie was
over and wanted to finish watching it. By then, I
was watching something else and didn't want to watch the
movie again just because she fell asleep. She argued that
I should have paused the movie and waited for her
to wake up or for the next day so we
could finish the movie together. I completely disagree. Why should
I have to stop watching a movie I'm really into
(16:05):
so my girlfriend can get a nap in? Am I
the a hole? That's a good one.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
It is a good one.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
That's a good I can relate to this one too,
I know you can. It happens all the time. Let's
hear the chuck now. And I'm not the one who
falls asleep. I'll tell you that right now. So missus
Nolan is the sleeper during movies, is what you're saying.
There seems to be some rules with couples as far
as when it comes to watching movies. If you're watching
something like squid Game or whatever, and you're up to
(16:32):
episode four, you can't watch episode five by yourself. You
have to wait until you can watch it with the
other person. I get that you have to watch it together.
That makes sense to me. But then sometimes the other
person secretly watches episode five and they don't tell you
that they did, and you start watching it and they
say something about it. How did you know that? How
did you know that was gonna happen? That's cheating? So
(16:53):
how many times did you watch cheat me? How many times?
So many times? And if you did it, she would
go bananas? Right, exactly, It's exactly true. It's a tough
one though, if you if you start watching it together. Yeah,
I get that, you gotta you should continue with it.
It's a team thing. You're watching it together, you're enjoying
it together. But I don't know my rule. You fall
asleep in the middle of it, all bets are off.
(17:15):
The rule is with a movie. I mean, you got
the movie lighting, going, got the perfect sound going. You
are totally engrossed in this film. It is taking you
out of your life. You are living that life. You're
in it, right, now all right, you're trans fixed on it.
You can't just stop that. You have to finish it.
It's not the same if you go back again, it's not.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
No.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
So what do you do though? Do you pause it
while she's snoring on the couch next to you?
Speaker 7 (17:39):
You let her rewatch it while you sleep and she
can use the captions and keep the audio down, so
you get a nap and while she watches the back hand.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
And you gotta keep turning the volume up louder because
she's sawing wood on the couch next to you. There,
does missus Nolan snore that loud? I are a lot
going question.
Speaker 7 (17:59):
If you you're significant other go to a baseball game
and she falls asleep in the seventh inning and then
wakes up at the end of the game.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
No, no, can you go back?
Speaker 7 (18:06):
I want to rewatch the last two innings and think, No,
it doesn't happen that way.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
While what was she drinking? Or she fell asleep at
a baseball game? If you're if you're dating a girl
or married to a woman who's falling asleep at Fenway, yeah,
you gotta break up immediately.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
That's just you can't be There's just some things you
can't go back like a movie an event, you can't
just stop.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
And start it over again. I agree, Yeah, the moment
so in the middle.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
No, you can't go on your own. If you want
to watch the end of it, go ahead, go watch it.
I'm moving on to the next movie.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
You can't fall asleep, though, I mean, just stay awake.
You sat down to watch this, you can't stay awake
for another half an hour, sixty minutes. Come on, it's funny,
the whole knowling seating arrangement. Have the TV, and then
looking towards the TV, I can see her, and I
can see it starting to happen. I can see I
can see the process starting on the face, like there's
(18:53):
no way she's going to make this the slow blank,
there's no start of the slow blank. So the slow blank,
the hidden yawn she tries, and then the movement to
get more comfortable on the couch just kind of ease
back into the cushions, and then I'll see the eyes shut,
so I'll have.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
To do a oh wow, oh my god, what I'm
just resting my eyes.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
I can't believe that happened. You're such an aail. So
I gotta agree with Nate on this one. You gotta you, gotta,
you gotta finish it. I gotta think about it. Smart.
I'm wavering now, I'm wavering. She can do it. At
another time, it's just do you even? I mean, Tyler,
would do you even? Are you even awake through a
whole movie on your own? Most of the time? Oh? Yeah, no,
(19:36):
I stay up. Yeah, well, I won't start a movie
if I think I can fall asleep. I'm not gonna
start something I really want to see if I think
there's a chance I'm gonna pass out. But sometimes you
want to put on a good nap movie, in which
case it's okay to fall asleep a nap movie. Oh yeah, movie?
What is a nap movie? Like a Western? Ninety year
old man who doesn't know you, like, what are you
pending on a Dean Martin Western? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 7 (20:00):
You put it on nice and low right and just
murmuring in the background and take a nice nap, you know,
on a Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
But on but on an old John Wayne movie. It's
exactly right. We never thought of doing that, No, Paul,
what do you think about the story of Nate here
and his girlfriend? I think that Nate is right. I
say it is what I say. Just loose, you lose.
There you go. So that joke coming to my house.
(20:26):
It's the rule. I gotta agree with you, Paul.
Speaker 9 (20:30):
All right, Yeah, I think that's the way it goes.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
All right, thank you to lose, all right.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Thank you, Paul, appreciate it. Yeah. I think we're in
agreement here so far. Anyways, it's gonna be tough to
find people there I go against Nate.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Now back to am I the a Home. It's the
Chuck No.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
One Morning show on one hundred and twenty seven w LX.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Light in the middle of am I the a Hole,
and the story of Nate and his girlfriend happens all
the time. Yeah, they're watching a movie. Thirty minutes in,
she falls asleep. He's gone, She's gone. He continues to
watch the movie because it's a great movie, a great movie.
He psyched about it. Doesn't want to pause it, doesn't
want to turn it off. It's been looking forward to
seeing this, everyone's been talking about it weeks. They made
(21:15):
these plans to watch this movie. She passes out. So
what happens She wakes up an hour after the movie's done. Well,
the movie. I finished watching it. You did without me
without me? White wine hit heavy, didn't it? Those rosees
can hit hard. So she's pissed at him. He doesn't
know what he did wrong? Is he the a hole?
(21:36):
Right us? Here from the guy's perspective, we're like, of
course you finished them. You go and get some saucy.
You rest the bowl on her head. Come on, of
course you're gonna finish that movie. We were wondering about
the female perspective. Here we get some talkbags.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Nope, he's not the a hole.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
I'm sorry that girl. She's a bee hole.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Whoa?
Speaker 4 (21:55):
Whoa? She's the a hole?
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Who I mean?
Speaker 10 (21:58):
Come on to stream in a movie with your boyfriend
and then you fall asleep.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
If you felt like you were gonna fall asleep, why
didn't you say, hey, babe, let's pause this.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
I want to take a nap.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
He's not the a hole.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
He's a guy. She needs to learn men.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
She's got to get a lesson on men better.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
She's the a hole. Very strong opinion. There, strong opinion.
So let me get this right. If you're if you're
watching this together and you start you feel that the
cloud coming over you, are you supposed to tell your
your significant other, Hey, I can't make it, you know.
Can we pause this and watch it later? Is it
better if you give the warning?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (22:38):
Why not?
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Yeah? Sometimes you can't help it though, You just you're
so tired, you just fall asleep. You fight it, you fight,
So she was probably fighting it as my guest. So
you fight it like when I drive home after being
here at ten o'clock in the morning, as I'm doing
my hour driving fighting it trying not to play pinball
on the mass Pike. Is that what you're trying try
not to bounce off the rail, correct?
Speaker 10 (22:58):
I definitely don't think he is the a hole. I mean,
you fell asleep. Your fault. Now in regards to you know,
watching an episode without your significant other, been there done that.
My ex used to secretly watch the episodes of Sons
of Anarchy before we watched it together. And the only
(23:20):
thing I asked of him, do not spoil it. That's it,
do not spoil it.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
That was very good of her. That's very good, all right,
because that has happened to me. I've been I have
been cheated on as well on the screen time. It
is not a good feeling. Would you say you're going
to experience this together and someone cheats and you get
upset about it, as I do. You do? Yeah, it's
not right. I could see girls getting upset with that.
What are you trying to say? I think you know
(23:50):
what I'm saying, Linda, Who is the a hole? What's
going on? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (23:54):
I think that is right. She fell asleep. Obviously the
movie wasn't keeping her interchange. It's not his fall. She
woke up. She she should have said, I'm too tired
of watching Tomorrow night or whatever, and she fell asleep.
(24:15):
She woke up. She should have said, oh no, I
fell asleep.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Not his fault.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
It's her fault.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
It's her fault, all right. So you think Naya's in
the right here. He was. He was right to watch
that movie, to enjoy that film.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Yes, they do, all right.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
You know, Linda just made me think of something. What's happened?
So is this girl pissed because she really wanted to
see the movie? Or she pissed because he didn't wait
you know what I mean? Like like she just upset
that he didn't hang on for her, like hold the movie. Yeah,
he left her behind. He left her behind, like it
wasn't like I think she's more pissed that he kept
(24:53):
going yeah and watched the whole movie than she was
about actually seeing the movie. Probably didn't care about the
movie because, like she said she might, it might not
have been entertaining for her, which is probably why she
fell asleep. Or maybe it goes it's something deeper. It's
because Nate does not want to go to her family's
house for Christmas. All right, here you go. And she's
using this old fashioned yes, and she's using this as
(25:13):
a wedge to drive it between the two of them. Chris,
what do you think?
Speaker 5 (25:19):
Chasy a hole? I mean, you sat down to watch
a movie together. People get tired, You fall asleep. My
boyfriend will stop the movie or ask me, do you
want me to stop the movie? You're falling asleep? And
sometimes I'll lie and I'll say no, we will stop
it anyway. We want to enjoy it together, something to
talk about. I mean it's not a huge thing, but
(25:39):
I mean it's a courtesy. Watch something else. You know,
she's going to sleep.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
See, Chris, you get it like you and I were
in relationships. Tyler has his dog and some paintings on
the wall, so he doesn't understand what it's like to
make like a date to watch something together. You make
it sound like I've never watched anything with a girl before.
I know what this is all about. I've been through
the drive. I don't think Cinemax is around anymore. Skin
a Max. And by the way, who said I'm sophisticating
(26:05):
enough that painting's on the wall.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
That's It's the Chuck Nolan Morning Show.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Throw your voice into the mix.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Call eight seven seven six one seven one hundred point seven.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Buston's Classic rock one hundred point.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
Seven w z X. I'm trying to think if I
ever have done this, gone to a concert or festival alone,
I don't think I have.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
I love going to shows alone.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
I know you do. My daughter does that too.
Speaker 6 (26:31):
Yeah, because it's like eating alone to me, like I
don't need to be entertained dinner. You have your phone
if you need it, or you can just talk to
the bartender if you feel like doing that that. I
do a g bar and Swampscott all the time. But
like shows, you don't really have to talk to anybody.
So if you're not self conscious about being alone, just
roll up goes. You don't have to wait for anybody
you don't have to deal with people being late, you
(26:51):
don't have to transfer tickets on Ticketmaster. It's a mat like.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
What I think of music as such a shared experience.
I always want to share it with somebody. There's thousands
of others, but I don't know them.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
But that's okay. Half the time you lose your friends.
Maybe somebody's puken in the bathroom. I just want to
enjoy the show. I want to get into my spot.
Like next week when I'm at the Paradise to see
Don Broc, I want to get into my spot. Nobody
bothered me so I can drool a Rob. It's gonna
be amazing. I'm going with good friends, so.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
You can do what.
Speaker 9 (27:19):
Rob.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
She's gonna crush on the guy ground though. I get it, though,
because I would never do it when I was younger. Yeah,
always with my boys groups, going to you know whatever,
going to see Dave Matthews a great was every summer,
or going to see Van Halen at the Civic Center
when I was a kid, but as an adult, like
that was the first concert I ever watched alone. When
David le Royth reunited with Van Halen in two thousand
(27:42):
and seven, I went by myself, and it felt incredibly
weird getting to the garden, the whole process I lived
out Nati at the time. Get in the car driving,
I was like, this is this is left up? Like
I'm going by myself. You're not gonna pre show at
one of the bars. Yeah, I didn't. I went in,
sat at my got a beer, sat at my seat,
and that was the and I ended up having a blast.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
So since then, I do a lot more stuff alone.
I will be like Danielle. I will sit at a bar,
at a restaurant by myself, talk to the bartenders, talk
to people there, like I'll get into that stuff. But
when I was younger, I couldn't do it. I don't
know if I could do it, I would feel self conscious,
which is weird because you're you're clinging. You shotta have
the wife with you.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
I get Chuck as a very easily sociable guy like
Chuck is.
Speaker 10 (28:22):
For me.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
Social interactions with strangers is often very forced and exhausting
for me, just because of how my brain is. So
if I go to a charity event and I have
the same conversation fifty times in a row, I get
a hibernate for four days. Yeah, but you chuck, I'm
not kidding. Are effortless, and my social battery has to
be recharged. You have effortless conversations with people. You're so
very good at engaging people in conversation and like having
(28:43):
a back and forth, bringing up interesting things, asking good questions.
So it's surprising to me that that's not an environment
in which you would thrive for.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Well, that is true. I could talk to anybody. I
feel comfortable talking to anybody. But just something about going
to a show. I think it goes back to when
I was a kid. Yeah, when I was a team
going to concerts with my friends or dates or whatever.
It was always like, we are doing this together, we
are looking forward to this, it's our event. But a
survey by Ticketmaster just found that the number of people
who have attended either a weekend or a day festival
(29:13):
by themselves has gone from eight percent in twenty nineteen
to twenty nine percent this year. So a lot of
people are doing it.
Speaker 6 (29:19):
You also have to look at the festival dynamic festival like,
I don't think I festivals are not for me. It's
and there's you know, like Sick New World, that's a
festival that usually has all bands that I want to see.
I'm not going to Texas for that next year. It's
just it's too much. There's too much going on. I
need to get in and get out, see my show
and be done with it. But you look at the
logistics involved. Festival prices have gone way way up in
(29:43):
the last couple of years, Like even look at what
we've you know, seen, like allegedly last year we had
prices rising with Boston Calling like other shows, like tickets
are just more expensive inherently because everything is more expensive.
The operating costs for the venues are more expensive. Things
like that and planning and having those like three days
to dedicate to something. It ties back into the conversation
(30:04):
we just had in the last break about people going
back to work. People don't have as much time flexibility
as they used to, so I think there's a lot
of factors that play into this, and it's like, you
know what, screw it, I'm gonna go by myself.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
I think another thing though, with the three people in
this room, the difference between you, Chuck and me and Danielle.
You're married, we're not. We don't mind doing We're used
to doing things alone. Yes, you're not. And also you're
happily married, so you don't want to get away from
the wife. Yes, I've known you eight years. I've never
heard you once say, oh god, I got the watch.
Wife's out of town. Thank god, you've never said that.
(30:36):
Thank you for saying.
Speaker 6 (30:36):
Listen to this point. Chuck's wife is so great that
I'm going to a concert with her.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
That's true. Much to shock with Chuck. She's a blast.
We spoke cigars all night.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Yeah, going to the elevators, Gudault man.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
But this has become so popular, Like the Download Festival
had a lone wolf area for all these people who
are going by themselves. Really, yes, I love that. At
the wedding, that's exactly what it is. It's a kid's
table on Thanksgiving? What is that?
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Though?
Speaker 4 (31:06):
It's like cool to go by yourself, Like Boston Calling
When you went, did you go by yourself?
Speaker 6 (31:10):
One?
Speaker 5 (31:10):
No?
Speaker 4 (31:10):
I went twice. I've been to two or three Boston
Callings and I went with a friend and one of
my friends I wish I had gone alone because he
got blackout drunk.
Speaker 6 (31:20):
Yes see I want to deal with that.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Yeah, And like I just wanted to get into uber
and go home, but I couldn't abandon him. Like it
was one of those nights I was like, this is
why I do things alone. Yeah yeah, this is it
baggage that comes with yeah. Yeah
From the wzx catcheslaw dot com studios. This is your
home for the Chuck Nolan Morning Show and Boston's Classic Rock.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
We are one hundred point seven w z LX, Boston.

Speaker 5 (00:40):
What's something else to.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
It's gonna leave soon, all right?
Speaker 6 (00:43):
No beaches, we have beaches.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
There's the beaches, tremendous beaches. There's a great theme song
and everything we have.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
But I think that I'm inclined.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
To say that roadiest my heart. You can keep the fody,
all right. It's beautiful and now and now and now.
Brand new list of twenty twenty five list of the
safest cities in America. Sure, there's some New England communities
in there, but there's one that stands out at number
(01:17):
one in America in America, the entire country. Correct, Okay,
go ahead, congratulations. Warwick, Rhode Island. Warwick, Rhode Island, Now,
I can't even I grew up. That's the city I
grew up in. No. I mean, it's not like crime
filled or anything. But to call it the safest city
in America, that'd be like calling Boston the cheapest city
(01:39):
in America. No, it's because of the low risk of
natural disasters. No earthquakes in Warwick, am I right? Ye,
earthquakes anywhere in Rhode Islands. No natural disasters is no
natural disasters anywhere in Rhode Island. Relatively low rates of
aggravated assaults, thefts, and murders per capita.
Speaker 6 (01:59):
In Tyler down there, you'll have a murder.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Yeah, exactly. Congratulations, man, it's all right. So this Warwick
when I grew up, awesome, middle class, blue collar kind
of town.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Right.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
It had its ritzy area over near Warwick Neck where
the old Rocky Point amusement park was, where they have
bathrooms inside inside the house.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
Yeah, you mean like my Auntie Yvaughn's apartment in East
Boston and the triple decker with the bathroom was outside
the apartment down the hall.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Oh no, yeah, they were all down the hall. Yeah,
that's no good.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
Like shared, No, like you you would you would get
into the unit, the bathroom would be on the right,
then you'd have a long hallway then you actually get
into the apartment. So the bathroom wasn't part of the
apartment proper.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
My grandparents house the same way, yes, same way. Yeah,
get out of the way. The ice man's coming up
the stairs. What is that there's still a coal shoot
in the basement. Yes, no, no, we had We had
actual bathrooms in Warwick. That was great. But yeah, it
was like like the neighborhood I grew up in was
like all families right with kids. Every house had kids.
Every dad was a blue collar guy. My old man
(03:03):
was a truck driver. The guy next door was a postman.
Yet an engine an air conditioner, guy next to him
an electrician. That's how it was. It was safe, you know,
I grew up in that time. Everybody left their doors unlocked.
It was sure. It was awesome. It's like the King
of Queens.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Yeah, but the city got run down quite a bit
because of the airport. Like the street I grew up
on the back half of it, there's only two houses
left because of the airport. They're all gone. They bought
them all out. My house that I grew up was
actually one of them, and I just watched. I go
visit quite a bit, and I've watched over the years
it get that particular neighborhood get really run down. So
how it's maybe it is safe, I guess, but it's
(03:40):
just not the same as it used to be. So
if I had to pick any city in the entire
country as number one on that list, I know I
would never pick one. Oh my god, do you hear
what I'm hearing.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
It's not a tough city.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Don't get me wrong. It's not like a tough town.
It's just a picture a young tyler riding his bikes
with the baseball cards in the spokes bike right. Yes,
Americana at its best it was, and it seems like
baseball everybody involved in the show except for me. It
grew up in the shadow of an airport with planes
going overhead. Yes, yeah, that's true. You're the only one
(04:12):
that didn't absorbed a lot of fuel.
Speaker 6 (04:14):
I was literally across the street from the runway logan.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Yeah, my front stairs are a football field away from
the runway. If probably not even that long. It affects
a person. Oh due when the planes would go over,
house would shake. My mom's china dishes were rattling.
Speaker 6 (04:29):
We had vegas mirrors in my bathrooms and East Boston,
so my mom and I lived in the first floor,
my grandparents on the second floor. My GOTU on the
third floor, so they had a bathroom mirror that was
probably like I don't know, twelve thirteen feet long, one
single piece of glass. And when the concord came through it,
because it blew the sound barrier, it loosened all the
(04:50):
glue on the wall, the entire panel of glass. Camp
we had to have mass port come in. It was
like a whole thing. It was a mess one store.
I almost got to kill it.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
I'm like eight years old, trying not to live near
the airport. That would have been a natural disaster in Warwick, saying, oh,
I mean, look, take some primaries. Take the W. I love,
I'll take I'll take the W. But it's absurd. Let's
just say it's absurd. Congratulations your rec Rhode Island number one.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Way to go.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
The Chuck Nolan Morning Show gets around. Take it with you,
listen on the iHeartRadio app. Even when you're not in
the car and make your number one pre set seven w.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Z LX Boston's classic rock.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
What is it day twenty one of the government shutdown
today on.
Speaker 6 (05:37):
Twenty two I think today is twenty two, three weeks
no end in sight.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Yeah, they're not talking to each other at all.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
The people in charge of the nuclear stockpile are getting
for love today.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
So that's one I heard that. It's it was like
sixteen hundred people. They're going to keep about four hundred. Okay,
all right, there's the people sitting in the silos.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
Good.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
I thought it had to be two people. It's like
on my mark turned the key.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
Yeah, they're fourteen hundred being furloughed. Fewer than four hundred
people remained on the job. Put your finger here, yeah,
like in severance, stretch to the other side of the room.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
A finger, a toe over here. Well. Airports have started
to collect food and other essentials for employees who are
still working and not getting paid.
Speaker 6 (06:22):
That's where we.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Are right now. God, they just started doing this Thursday.
They started doing this in Las Vegas, collecting food, toiletries,
baby products, pet food for the pets.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
God, man, I just did a run yesterday. Wow.
Speaker 6 (06:40):
Yeah, it's expensive.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Everything is so expensive. They say, we're accepting gift cards
for retail, for gas, for grocery stores, baby supplies, all
the things that people need, helping them get by during
this government shutdown. And like you said, there's no end
in sight. No, we're three weeks into this. I can
only imagine if this goes through Thanksgiving what that's going
to be like. Can you imagine all the travel right problems? Yeah,
(07:06):
you just get a feeling after a while, your traffic
controllers just gonna stop showing up. They're not getting paid.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
I'm so glad I'm flying internationally two days after.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Thanks Does that make a difference flying internationally?
Speaker 6 (07:17):
Logan, Well, yeah, I mean because you're you've got all
the crew on the ground here, so it's just you're
still going through the airport. You're still moving through the airport,
still going to go through the process. I'm thankful that
I have pre check and clear and all the and
global entry, all the accoutrements, so I don't have to
wait as long. But oh my god, if you're an
average traveler that doesn't have that kind of stuff, Like
if you if you travel once every few years and
(07:39):
you happen to be going away just to see family exactly.
Godd you get stuck at a customs line on the
way back.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
I remember flying with the kids when they are like
four and two, going out to Colorado with Thanksgiving. Oh
my god, what an s shoe? Oh my god, just
trying to get everything together and baby chairs and all
this kind of thing, getting them on a plane what
have you? And here we have who have probably planned
this over the course of the past year a trip
to get out there, and the delays could be insane.
(08:07):
I'm actually getting worried about it. My mom's coming to
visit for Christmas. Yeah, I'm like, oh, she's going to
be here for a month by Christmas. It has to
be over right.
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Well that about Thanksgiving? But yeah, screaming toward it.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
What was the longest ever shutdown? Like, what's the record?
Thirty seven days? Yeah, it's thirty seven days. I to
get back in twenty seventeen. I hate to be negative
about it, but it's like we're going to blow that away.
It does feel like that. Yeah, most these two desides
do not want to talk to each other well, and
also if they in the government shutdown, it happens again
in November, like November twentieth or something.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
It's very interesting.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
So I don't know, are they doing this at Logan,
Are they doing food drives? I don't know.
Speaker 6 (08:48):
I'm in a lot of airport groups on the Facebook.
I know that'll shock you, but I'm seeing a lot
of people posting about, like a lot of TSA and
playes posting and they're just like, yeah, this is the
last time we got paid, and like I got a family,
I got kids, Like I got a car problem.
Speaker 7 (09:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
I think the last time they were play was on
the fifteenth. So they're coming around to go without a
paycheck right when the rent and mortgages do great at
the end of the month. It's horrible flying out to Chicago.
Bring some uncrustables and some Kansas soup with you. Get
this thing started, you know, Yeah, I'll drop them off
in Katar. Sure that'll go over. Tyler could have left
(09:27):
his edibles they was trying to get through. Tay. Anything
to help just Leaven right there.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Anything Put a face to the voice by following at
w X on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok. A chef
show on one point seven ws X Boston's classic rock.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Tyler, What is the biggest sport in the world?
Speaker 6 (09:49):
Accent say the right word, say.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
With the accent, Yes, do it? I think I sounded
like German when I did that. Actually, sorry, footsball of course.
Next year World Cup twenty twenty six. I think we
have seven games at Gillette's something like that and we
get a handful. All right. It's been played for many, many,
(10:15):
many years. Huge event. During a price conference yesterday in
the White House, the President was asked about the street
takeovers in Boston, and somehow it got around to the
World Cup Bosto.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
I had some street takeovers that we saw.
Speaker 8 (10:28):
Are you is the main? Are you gonna work with
a tri and work with the mayor of Boston? And
then they have a World Cup? They have several World
Cup games. I know Argentina knows about World Cups. They
have several World Cup games. Could those games move to
cities and duber we could, We can take them away.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
I love the people of bus and I know the
games are so. But your mayor is not good. They're
worse than her. At least she's intelligent, all right.
Speaker 4 (10:50):
He goes off on Mayor wou for a good ten
minutes after that. But he's talking about taking the games
away from as he says, Boston, despite the fact that
it's thirty miles away in Foxborough.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
That's very interesting.
Speaker 9 (11:06):
But he went on some more, and the answer is yes,
if somebody is doing a bad job, and if I
feel this unsafe conditions, I would call Johnny, the head
of FIFA, who's phenomenal, and I would.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
Say, let's move it to another location, and he would
do that.
Speaker 9 (11:20):
He would love to do it, but he'd do it
very easily.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
He'd do it. And this is the right time to
do it.
Speaker 9 (11:26):
If if I thought Boston was doing suffering, what was
going to be cause safety conditions for the uh, you know,
World Cup?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Boston better clean up their act. That's all I can say.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Wow, they count that came out of nowhere yesterday? Did
is it? Wouldn't it be incredibly difficult at this point
to move it?
Speaker 6 (11:46):
This would be imp from a logistics standpoint wherever you
put it. They're not they're not ready for it, like
it takes a long time years for this.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Yeah, and they're expecting two million visitors for World Cup
coming here. That's one point one billion dollars in revenue
being brought in. And like you said, they've been they've
been planning this for years and it's next year. You
can't just pack it up and move it someplace else.
It's literally months. You can't throw it in Albany. It's
(12:15):
not gonna work. So yeah, okay, we'll see what happened there.
It is there, it is are not in Boston. It's
still on. If you have tickets, hang onto your ticket. Yeah,
don't sell, don't scalp them, just yet, all right, don't
cancel those hell tonal Yeah, just yet.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
Your hotel rooms in Revere that say Boston Logan Hotel.
Speaker 4 (12:35):
The World Cup will be held out back of Burncoat
Senior High in Wooster.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
From the wzlex catches Law dot Com Studios, this is
your home to the Chuck Nolan Morning Show and Boston's
Classic Rock.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
We are one hundred point seven w z LX Boston
makes the Check Nylon Morning Show on Boston's Classic Rock
seven w CLX.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
And wherever you may roam on the free iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
All right, we have a station refrigerator situation. It's reached
critical mass.
Speaker 6 (13:14):
This is so bad.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
There was a rotting smell emanating from the kitchen here.
Somebody put up a sign on the refrigerator saying do
not leave food in here to rot. Detective mirror. Yeah,
went and checked it out. And upon further inspection, what
did you find?
Speaker 6 (13:31):
I found the culprit to be so a lot of
people in here get meals from meal prep services to
come in the cooler bag. And perhaps if you bring
in a whole cooler bag full of meals, you might
forget they're in there, especially if you're traveling a lot
for work to other markets and other stations like our pal.
I don't know McKay, but kiss who has a tote
or refrigerator tote full of meals?
Speaker 4 (13:52):
And did you open up this?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (13:53):
Well, I had that's where that's the only plant. Mikey
V has a bag in there from Neutrie, but it's empty.
So uh, McCabe's bag is stocked full meal. He probably
forgot it's in.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Where did you find it? Like a collection of cheeses,
maybe some crackers, stuff like.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
That, a lemon baked tilapia. The best by date was
ten to nine. That the smell is emanating from that bag.
I don't want to throw the meals out in the kitchen,
because then the whole kitchen is going to stink.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
So I don't know. I don't know if the right
now on the dumpster we have rotting fish in the kitchen.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
He has passed hard in kitchen offenses.
Speaker 4 (14:32):
Here's the deal, guys, walk away, just walk away. It's
gonna get it's just stay out of the kitchen. This
is the microwaves sat it to five minutes and walk away.
A little behind the scenes for our listeners. Before we
launched the show, I bought our own refrigerator, and this
is the reason why the cocon there. This is the
reason why so because this happens in radio stations around America.
Speaker 6 (14:52):
But I got to go in there for the hot
water for my bone broth.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Well, yeah, boat, I mean it's just killed it all right.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Today seven WZLX.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Right here on the Chuck Nolan Morning Show, everybody, we
answer the ah old question.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
Am I the a hole?
Speaker 1 (15:15):
And if you have an ahole moment that needs a solution,
email the crew at Chucks Show at WCLX dot com.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
We got an email from Nate. He says, Hey, guys,
this is Nate and I'm a fan of the show
and I was hoping I could get your side on
an argument I'm having with my girlfriend right now. So
we started streaming a movie the other night that I
really wanted to watch. About thirty minutes into the movie,
my girlfriend fell asleep, and I continued to watch the movie.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
She woke up about an hour after the movie was
over and wanted to finish watching it. By then, I
was watching something else and didn't want to watch the
movie again just because she fell asleep. She argued that
I should have paused the movie and waited for her
to wake up or for the next day so we
could finish the movie together. I completely disagree. Why should
I have to stop watching a movie I'm really into
(16:05):
so my girlfriend can get a nap in? Am I
the a hole? That's a good one.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
It is a good one.
Speaker 4 (16:09):
That's a good I can relate to this one too,
I know you can. It happens all the time. Let's
hear the chuck now. And I'm not the one who
falls asleep. I'll tell you that right now. So missus
Nolan is the sleeper during movies, is what you're saying.
There seems to be some rules with couples as far
as when it comes to watching movies. If you're watching
something like squid Game or whatever, and you're up to
(16:32):
episode four, you can't watch episode five by yourself. You
have to wait until you can watch it with the
other person. I get that you have to watch it together.
That makes sense to me. But then sometimes the other
person secretly watches episode five and they don't tell you
that they did, and you start watching it and they
say something about it. How did you know that? How
did you know that was gonna happen? That's cheating? So
(16:53):
how many times did you watch cheat me? How many times?
So many times? And if you did it, she would
go bananas? Right, exactly, It's exactly true. It's a tough
one though, if you if you start watching it together. Yeah,
I get that, you gotta you should continue with it.
It's a team thing. You're watching it together, you're enjoying
it together. But I don't know my rule. You fall
asleep in the middle of it, all bets are off.
(17:15):
The rule is with a movie. I mean, you got
the movie lighting, going, got the perfect sound going. You
are totally engrossed in this film. It is taking you
out of your life. You are living that life. You're
in it, right, now all right, you're trans fixed on it.
You can't just stop that. You have to finish it.
It's not the same if you go back again, it's not.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
No.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
So what do you do though? Do you pause it
while she's snoring on the couch next to you?
Speaker 7 (17:39):
You let her rewatch it while you sleep and she
can use the captions and keep the audio down, so
you get a nap and while she watches the back hand.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
And you gotta keep turning the volume up louder because
she's sawing wood on the couch next to you. There,
does missus Nolan snore that loud? I are a lot
going question.
Speaker 7 (17:59):
If you you're significant other go to a baseball game
and she falls asleep in the seventh inning and then
wakes up at the end of the game.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
No, no, can you go back?
Speaker 7 (18:06):
I want to rewatch the last two innings and think, No,
it doesn't happen that way.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
While what was she drinking? Or she fell asleep at
a baseball game? If you're if you're dating a girl
or married to a woman who's falling asleep at Fenway, yeah,
you gotta break up immediately.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
That's just you can't be There's just some things you
can't go back like a movie an event, you can't
just stop.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
And start it over again. I agree, Yeah, the moment
so in the middle.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
No, you can't go on your own. If you want
to watch the end of it, go ahead, go watch it.
I'm moving on to the next movie.
Speaker 4 (18:32):
You can't fall asleep, though, I mean, just stay awake.
You sat down to watch this, you can't stay awake
for another half an hour, sixty minutes. Come on, it's funny,
the whole knowling seating arrangement. Have the TV, and then
looking towards the TV, I can see her, and I
can see it starting to happen. I can see I
can see the process starting on the face, like there's
(18:53):
no way she's going to make this the slow blank,
there's no start of the slow blank. So the slow blank,
the hidden yawn she tries, and then the movement to
get more comfortable on the couch just kind of ease
back into the cushions, and then I'll see the eyes shut,
so I'll have.
Speaker 7 (19:07):
To do a oh wow, oh my god, what I'm
just resting my eyes.
Speaker 4 (19:15):
I can't believe that happened. You're such an aail. So
I gotta agree with Nate on this one. You gotta you, gotta,
you gotta finish it. I gotta think about it. Smart.
I'm wavering now, I'm wavering. She can do it. At
another time, it's just do you even? I mean, Tyler,
would do you even? Are you even awake through a
whole movie on your own? Most of the time? Oh? Yeah, no,
(19:36):
I stay up. Yeah, well, I won't start a movie
if I think I can fall asleep. I'm not gonna
start something I really want to see if I think
there's a chance I'm gonna pass out. But sometimes you
want to put on a good nap movie, in which
case it's okay to fall asleep a nap movie. Oh yeah, movie?
What is a nap movie? Like a Western? Ninety year
old man who doesn't know you, like, what are you
pending on a Dean Martin Western? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 7 (20:00):
You put it on nice and low right and just
murmuring in the background and take a nice nap, you know,
on a Sunday afternoon.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
But on but on an old John Wayne movie. It's
exactly right. We never thought of doing that, No, Paul,
what do you think about the story of Nate here
and his girlfriend? I think that Nate is right. I
say it is what I say. Just loose, you lose.
There you go. So that joke coming to my house.
(20:26):
It's the rule. I gotta agree with you, Paul.
Speaker 9 (20:30):
All right, Yeah, I think that's the way it goes.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
All right, thank you to lose, all right.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Thank you, Paul, appreciate it. Yeah. I think we're in
agreement here so far. Anyways, it's gonna be tough to
find people there I go against Nate.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Now back to am I the a Home. It's the
Chuck No.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
One Morning show on one hundred and twenty seven w LX.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
Light in the middle of am I the a Hole,
and the story of Nate and his girlfriend happens all
the time. Yeah, they're watching a movie. Thirty minutes in,
she falls asleep. He's gone, She's gone. He continues to
watch the movie because it's a great movie, a great movie.
He psyched about it. Doesn't want to pause it, doesn't
want to turn it off. It's been looking forward to
seeing this, everyone's been talking about it weeks. They made
(21:15):
these plans to watch this movie. She passes out. So
what happens She wakes up an hour after the movie's done. Well,
the movie. I finished watching it. You did without me
without me? White wine hit heavy, didn't it? Those rosees
can hit hard. So she's pissed at him. He doesn't
know what he did wrong? Is he the a hole?
(21:36):
Right us? Here from the guy's perspective, we're like, of
course you finished them. You go and get some saucy.
You rest the bowl on her head. Come on, of
course you're gonna finish that movie. We were wondering about
the female perspective. Here we get some talkbags.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Nope, he's not the a hole.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
I'm sorry that girl. She's a bee hole.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Whoa?
Speaker 4 (21:55):
Whoa? She's the a hole?
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Who I mean?
Speaker 10 (21:58):
Come on to stream in a movie with your boyfriend
and then you fall asleep.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
If you felt like you were gonna fall asleep, why
didn't you say, hey, babe, let's pause this.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
I want to take a nap.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
He's not the a hole.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
He's a guy. She needs to learn men.
Speaker 6 (22:14):
She's got to get a lesson on men better.
Speaker 4 (22:17):
She's the a hole. Very strong opinion. There, strong opinion.
So let me get this right. If you're if you're
watching this together and you start you feel that the
cloud coming over you, are you supposed to tell your
your significant other, Hey, I can't make it, you know.
Can we pause this and watch it later? Is it
better if you give the warning?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (22:38):
Why not?
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Yeah? Sometimes you can't help it though, You just you're
so tired, you just fall asleep. You fight it, you fight,
So she was probably fighting it as my guest. So
you fight it like when I drive home after being
here at ten o'clock in the morning, as I'm doing
my hour driving fighting it trying not to play pinball
on the mass Pike. Is that what you're trying try
not to bounce off the rail, correct?
Speaker 10 (22:58):
I definitely don't think he is the a hole. I mean,
you fell asleep. Your fault. Now in regards to you know,
watching an episode without your significant other, been there done that.
My ex used to secretly watch the episodes of Sons
of Anarchy before we watched it together. And the only
(23:20):
thing I asked of him, do not spoil it. That's it,
do not spoil it.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
That was very good of her. That's very good, all right,
because that has happened to me. I've been I have
been cheated on as well on the screen time. It
is not a good feeling. Would you say you're going
to experience this together and someone cheats and you get
upset about it, as I do. You do? Yeah, it's
not right. I could see girls getting upset with that.
What are you trying to say? I think you know
(23:50):
what I'm saying, Linda, Who is the a hole? What's
going on? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (23:54):
I think that is right. She fell asleep. Obviously the
movie wasn't keeping her interchange. It's not his fall. She
woke up. She she should have said, I'm too tired
of watching Tomorrow night or whatever, and she fell asleep.
(24:15):
She woke up. She should have said, oh no, I
fell asleep.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Not his fault.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
It's her fault.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
It's her fault, all right. So you think Naya's in
the right here. He was. He was right to watch
that movie, to enjoy that film.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Yes, they do, all right.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
You know, Linda just made me think of something. What's happened?
So is this girl pissed because she really wanted to
see the movie? Or she pissed because he didn't wait
you know what I mean? Like like she just upset
that he didn't hang on for her, like hold the movie. Yeah,
he left her behind. He left her behind, like it
wasn't like I think she's more pissed that he kept
(24:53):
going yeah and watched the whole movie than she was
about actually seeing the movie. Probably didn't care about the
movie because, like she said she might, it might not
have been entertaining for her, which is probably why she
fell asleep. Or maybe it goes it's something deeper. It's
because Nate does not want to go to her family's
house for Christmas. All right, here you go. And she's
using this old fashioned yes, and she's using this as
(25:13):
a wedge to drive it between the two of them. Chris,
what do you think?
Speaker 5 (25:19):
Chasy a hole? I mean, you sat down to watch
a movie together. People get tired, You fall asleep. My
boyfriend will stop the movie or ask me, do you
want me to stop the movie? You're falling asleep? And
sometimes I'll lie and I'll say no, we will stop
it anyway. We want to enjoy it together, something to
talk about. I mean it's not a huge thing, but
(25:39):
I mean it's a courtesy. Watch something else. You know,
she's going to sleep.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
See, Chris, you get it like you and I were
in relationships. Tyler has his dog and some paintings on
the wall, so he doesn't understand what it's like to
make like a date to watch something together. You make
it sound like I've never watched anything with a girl before.
I know what this is all about. I've been through
the drive. I don't think Cinemax is around anymore. Skin
a Max. And by the way, who said I'm sophisticating
(26:05):
enough that painting's on the wall.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
That's It's the Chuck Nolan Morning Show.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Throw your voice into the mix.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Call eight seven seven six one seven one hundred point seven.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Buston's Classic rock one hundred point.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
Seven w z X. I'm trying to think if I
ever have done this, gone to a concert or festival alone,
I don't think I have.
Speaker 6 (26:28):
I love going to shows alone.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
I know you do. My daughter does that too.
Speaker 6 (26:31):
Yeah, because it's like eating alone to me, like I
don't need to be entertained dinner. You have your phone
if you need it, or you can just talk to
the bartender if you feel like doing that that. I
do a g bar and Swampscott all the time. But
like shows, you don't really have to talk to anybody.
So if you're not self conscious about being alone, just
roll up goes. You don't have to wait for anybody
you don't have to deal with people being late, you
(26:51):
don't have to transfer tickets on Ticketmaster. It's a mat like.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
What I think of music as such a shared experience.
I always want to share it with somebody. There's thousands
of others, but I don't know them.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
But that's okay. Half the time you lose your friends.
Maybe somebody's puken in the bathroom. I just want to
enjoy the show. I want to get into my spot.
Like next week when I'm at the Paradise to see
Don Broc, I want to get into my spot. Nobody
bothered me so I can drool a Rob. It's gonna
be amazing. I'm going with good friends, so.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
You can do what.
Speaker 9 (27:19):
Rob.
Speaker 4 (27:21):
She's gonna crush on the guy ground though. I get it, though,
because I would never do it when I was younger. Yeah,
always with my boys groups, going to you know whatever,
going to see Dave Matthews a great was every summer,
or going to see Van Halen at the Civic Center
when I was a kid, but as an adult, like
that was the first concert I ever watched alone. When
David le Royth reunited with Van Halen in two thousand
(27:42):
and seven, I went by myself, and it felt incredibly
weird getting to the garden, the whole process I lived
out Nati at the time. Get in the car driving,
I was like, this is this is left up? Like
I'm going by myself. You're not gonna pre show at
one of the bars. Yeah, I didn't. I went in,
sat at my got a beer, sat at my seat,
and that was the and I ended up having a blast.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
So since then, I do a lot more stuff alone.
I will be like Danielle. I will sit at a bar,
at a restaurant by myself, talk to the bartenders, talk
to people there, like I'll get into that stuff. But
when I was younger, I couldn't do it. I don't
know if I could do it, I would feel self conscious,
which is weird because you're you're clinging. You shotta have
the wife with you.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
I get Chuck as a very easily sociable guy like
Chuck is.
Speaker 10 (28:22):
For me.
Speaker 6 (28:23):
Social interactions with strangers is often very forced and exhausting
for me, just because of how my brain is. So
if I go to a charity event and I have
the same conversation fifty times in a row, I get
a hibernate for four days. Yeah, but you chuck, I'm
not kidding. Are effortless, and my social battery has to
be recharged. You have effortless conversations with people. You're so
very good at engaging people in conversation and like having
(28:43):
a back and forth, bringing up interesting things, asking good questions.
So it's surprising to me that that's not an environment
in which you would thrive for.
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Well, that is true. I could talk to anybody. I
feel comfortable talking to anybody. But just something about going
to a show. I think it goes back to when
I was a kid. Yeah, when I was a team
going to concerts with my friends or dates or whatever.
It was always like, we are doing this together, we
are looking forward to this, it's our event. But a
survey by Ticketmaster just found that the number of people
who have attended either a weekend or a day festival
(29:13):
by themselves has gone from eight percent in twenty nineteen
to twenty nine percent this year. So a lot of
people are doing it.
Speaker 6 (29:19):
You also have to look at the festival dynamic festival like,
I don't think I festivals are not for me. It's
and there's you know, like Sick New World, that's a
festival that usually has all bands that I want to see.
I'm not going to Texas for that next year. It's
just it's too much. There's too much going on. I
need to get in and get out, see my show
and be done with it. But you look at the
logistics involved. Festival prices have gone way way up in
(29:43):
the last couple of years, Like even look at what
we've you know, seen, like allegedly last year we had
prices rising with Boston Calling like other shows, like tickets
are just more expensive inherently because everything is more expensive.
The operating costs for the venues are more expensive. Things
like that and planning and having those like three days
to dedicate to something. It ties back into the conversation
(30:04):
we just had in the last break about people going
back to work. People don't have as much time flexibility
as they used to, so I think there's a lot
of factors that play into this, and it's like, you
know what, screw it, I'm gonna go by myself.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
I think another thing though, with the three people in
this room, the difference between you, Chuck and me and Danielle.
You're married, we're not. We don't mind doing We're used
to doing things alone. Yes, you're not. And also you're
happily married, so you don't want to get away from
the wife. Yes, I've known you eight years. I've never
heard you once say, oh god, I got the watch.
Wife's out of town. Thank god, you've never said that.
(30:36):
Thank you for saying.
Speaker 6 (30:36):
Listen to this point. Chuck's wife is so great that
I'm going to a concert with her.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
That's true. Much to shock with Chuck. She's a blast.
We spoke cigars all night.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Yeah, going to the elevators, Gudault man.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
But this has become so popular, Like the Download Festival
had a lone wolf area for all these people who
are going by themselves. Really, yes, I love that. At
the wedding, that's exactly what it is. It's a kid's
table on Thanksgiving? What is that?
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Though?
Speaker 4 (31:06):
It's like cool to go by yourself, Like Boston Calling
When you went, did you go by yourself?
Speaker 6 (31:10):
One?
Speaker 5 (31:10):
No?
Speaker 4 (31:10):
I went twice. I've been to two or three Boston
Callings and I went with a friend and one of
my friends I wish I had gone alone because he
got blackout drunk.
Speaker 6 (31:20):
Yes see I want to deal with that.
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Yeah, And like I just wanted to get into uber
and go home, but I couldn't abandon him. Like it
was one of those nights I was like, this is
why I do things alone. Yeah yeah, this is it
baggage that comes with yeah. Yeah
