so all right, godfather father, this is a wt dB
who's douchebag? Okay? Issue one?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Alright from this past Saturday. Oh all right, this just happens.
Fresh Fresh has that new douchebag smells like a new cod.
I believe that's a new douchebag smell.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
My name is Anne bold Move, I think yeah, but
also thinking is probably not the real name. I think
it is. And she's like, you know what, my name
is Anne, and I'm tired. Yeah, maybe no, maybe my
name is Anne. And every year I host a huge
Thanksgiving dinner on the Saturday before Thanksgiving so everyone can
make it. With our family coordinating schedules, it's difficult, and
(01:55):
this dinner is a big deal, especially for our older relatives,
most importantly ninety five year old grandmother Bernadette. Well, we're
dropping names, solid, yeah, Chalid, Grandma Bernadette solid the great
grandmother name all right, So ninety four year old's his
ninety five year old grandmother, okay, Bernadette. Some family members
(02:17):
even drove over two hours away to be here. In total,
we had twenty one people packed into my house. We're
all set to eat at one pm. Everyone was on time,
except my uncle Marty and his wife Bev. Marty and
Belle solid Marty, Marty and Bev. Isn't that I just
loved that they were using their names, I know, dropping. Yeah, yeah, okay,
(02:44):
so let me see where was I laughing here? Marty
and Bev. At twelve thirty, Marty calls to say that
Bev forgot the signature dish she always brings, and she
made him turn around to go home to get it.
They lived ninety minut and it's away, meaning they are
now going to be two hours late. And to make
(03:06):
it worse, Bev, who's a massive drama queen, was on
the phone begging us to wait for them.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
The rest of us sell, no, no, Bev is a douchebag,
he Bev.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
The rest of us sall, hey, look, get here when
you get here, but we're eating it one. People were hungry,
kids were cranky. Some cousins have driven half the morning
to make it on time. That's when my grandmother Bernadette
suddenly insisted that we wait. She said it would be
rude to start without them, and she refused to take
even one bite. Grandmother, Nana wait.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Thank you for everything you did for world War two.
Without you, we couldn't have planes that floone. No, no,
you need to just get in the backron.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
We all tried to convince her that she needed to eat,
especially her, but she was stubborn as a brick wall,
and honestly, who wants to get upset with their ninety
five year old grandmother on Thanksgiving ninety five years old?
This could be your last ninety minutes. So we all caved.
We waited two period more period hours now. By the
(04:11):
time Marty and Bev finally showed up with the family
with the famous dish, everyone everyone was miserable. The food
had to be reheated, the kids from melting down. Grandma
Bernie had to take a sugar pill so she didn't
crash because she is a diabetic. Oh good lord, yeah, cats,
it's just one pilot. I was angry, not only because
(04:32):
Bev asked us to wait, but because she knew Grandma
would insist on it and use that guilt to everyone
else complying It kind of ruined the whole day. So
who's the douchebag here? Is it Bev for turning the
car around and expecting twenty one people to wait? Is
it the rest of us for wanting to stick to
the plan, or is it Grandma Bernie for being so
stubborn and forcing the whole group to starve for two hours.
(04:54):
She's ninety five. You could have eaten in front of her.
She wasn't going to remember. Ten minutes later, you could
do it all over again. She'd be like, oh, this
tastes good for the first time. They're collaborative.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
I'm sorry, absolutely not right. And you're ninety You're no
longer the lead dog at ninety five.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
And the wolves they put that one in the middle,
the stronger ones at the back, and they keep the
weak ones and the did you say in wolves?
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
But if you just give Grandma the you know she's
trying to keep the peace, give her sort of a
check check her off. It's Bev. Everything stems from Marty
and Bev.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I don't know what kind of woman Bernie is, right,
but she's a ninety five year old grandmother, And you
know what, that's got a lot of sway. That's got
a lot of sway. If if it was my mom
she was ninety five, well, my grandmother, she was ninety five,
and she was adamant, I would have a hard time.
Two hours. No no, no, no, wait, just listen to
me before I finished, because I I guarantee you we
(06:04):
would eat. I guarantee you that that's nothing to do.
But I have a hard time going against my ninety
five year old grandmother, God rest your soul, kind of
thinking this may be the last time she's with us.
Only it crosses your mind. I understand it crosses your mind.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
We got young kids losing their minds. We got people
who traveled, and you know what chaos A douchebag just
for go wait for us. Listen, guys, we messed up.
Go ahead and meet without us. Who says that wait
for us? Somebody who's old?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
So what's what's the dish that you had to turn
around for? About question? Because hey, it's a side dish,
you could keep it. Well, it might be you guys.
You guys, you guys, you're hitting it off now because
you guys both like if it's me, I am driving
(07:01):
to my family's house, it's a ninety minute drive. I
got it. I'm halfway there. I forgot the dish. Guess
what the dish stays home?
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
No kidding. You stay on time, You make a phone
call and you go, guys, and you know what, we
messed up.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
We we we're on our way. We forgot the dish.
Let everybody know, and we're coming.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Aside from all of the reasons, you guys just said,
it's one o'clock, that's eating time. Twenty one people have
planned their day around one o'clock.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
People probably had light breakfast, so they're ready to eat
and someday.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Probably don't have towns. Yeah, they have the doubles on
a Saturday. Maybe maybe not, you know, I don't know,
but yeah, that's true. It's on a Saturday.
Speaker 6 (07:42):
It's no.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah, that's uh Bev, Marty and Bell. That's those names.
When I read them, I'm like, whoa, they had the
bube already. I didn't even get to the cook stuff.
And I'm like, Marty and Beb, Well, it's Marty and Bebb,
you know what they And you know what, Nana, I'm
most likely feeding you. Anyways, this is when, okay, you
don't have to dish. Respected grand she wants to hold
off and not eat, then she can hold She's a diabetic.
(08:04):
They have to give her a sugar pill like because
her blood sugar was getting too long been through the depression. Okay,
she knows. Look, you cannot pin any of this on
the grammar. I agree.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Grandma's all right, you get a you get a get
out of jail dinner pass, lucky.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Yeah. Yeah, that's that's that's that, I get it. Unless
she's cantankerous and and one of those is like look,
get that one is you.
Speaker 5 (08:28):
Know like that, wait until they get here with the
pickled onion.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Ex I love the onion exactly. I don't anger me. Yeah,
but sometimes like that, sometimes they're like that scotty They
say stuff, Well, but you just because they're old doesn't
mean you have to everyone's know what. We're not gonna wait,
all right, some day, all right, someday your dad is
(08:53):
going to be ninety five years old. And you have
the utmost respect for your dad, and you never disrespect
your dad. If your dad said I want to wait,
I really think you would wait. I think you in
that scenario because of the respects you have for Pat mcmullell.
Speaker 4 (09:09):
We have twenty one people here, we have twenty one
people that made it.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
We're gonna wait and do it all as a family.
So we're not we're gonna wait. We're not and I
don't know, dude, I really think, and I'm being honest
here you.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
I love you the guy, but no, I want that
ham stew give me the ham stoe.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
I wait all here for that. I love you Marty
and Bev right out of the gate money and Bev.
I feel like lurche. All right, So I think it's
clearly a Bev and not too much Marty because Marty's
living in health. That's what I think. I think Marty's
living in health. But actually Marty might be part of
(09:50):
the problem, you know. So maybe I'm just gonna say
it's Marty is just trying to Marty's He's just trying
to do his time more whipped than the potatoes, Kelly Brown,
or yeah, it's Beth Okay, it's this might be a
this might be a this might be a slam whatever. Yeah.
So Scotty, you say, oh, I'm so beav. Erica, you say,
(10:11):
hands down, hands down Bev okay, uh and Tom, Beth,
Marty and Marty and Bevy. He is including Marty and
Bev together, to be honest, though Marty should have said,
we're not turning around right because the Valerie said that.
I'm like, honey, we're halfway there. It's forty five minutes
we're going. I can hear Martin.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
I can hear Marty going, all right here, if you
really think that's the way to go.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Yeah, so uh uh so yeah, I'm gonna say both
Marty and Bev. That's I'm gonna say. Yeah, all right,
So it's I just who has the nerve to say?
Speaker 4 (10:42):
I mean, because I'm trying to picture this in my family,
my mom and dad would call and say, listen, we're
running late to start without us, Jenny, what do you say,
who's the douchebag morning brother?
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I think it's whoever took the phone calls, because they
should have just kept that in frombition to themselves and
went ahead and had the dinner at one o'clock. That's
a good spin that it's a great alternative, alternative route,
but it doesn't really fit into the choices that we have,
given the choices we have. That's okay, that's all right,
that's outside the box, thinking the box. The writer, the writer.
(11:17):
You're saying, the writer. Yeah, I didn't see that. I
did not see that coming, all right. I thought you
were gonna say bed But all right, there you go.
So it's the writer who took the call, all right?
That one so caught me by surprise as well.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
I see, I'd rather just be up front and honestly, no,
we're not waiting rather than hide the call, because because
if she's a woman that loves drama, she's gonna walk
in and make a big seat.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, just turn around, go home, say
hi to Louise, Kelly, Louise, Kelly, who is the douchebag? Hey, Kelly,
I'm gonna say Marty and bev.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
Do we really need to go to the phone can?
Speaker 1 (11:54):
But see you think, Louise, you have something else for
us to talk about? Kelly thirty, I don't think so.
So we writing this sucker. You're taking this sucker all
the way to you know whatever. We got ninety more minutes, Louise,
I think exactly like you. But the first call went
with the writer. So you gotta confused. You gotta throw
the voices out there, you gotta throw the hear the voices.
(12:17):
Butter's on the phone, Scotty. But who is today's douchebag?
Speaker 8 (12:22):
It's gotta be.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Yeah, I agree with roll kill Man. It's like you
know what, Hey, guys, we're gonna be late, go ahead
and eat, and you know, and that'd be that. But
I'd be taking a turkey like Chevet old that. Yeah.
I don't know that I would. I would just say, yeah,
go on and eat without me, you know, thank you
very much. It's like this. It's like you go to
a restaurant. Everybody gets your food except me. I'm like, God, neat, guys,
(12:51):
I don't want you to wait. Go ahead and neat.
You got the food right in front of it. It's hot.
Eat well. Who wouldn't say that, BIV wouldn't say, oh,
just wait for us, Tom saying I do hold on
a second here, Chris, it's sad. Chris, Hey, Chris, how
you doing? I'm good? How are you let me good?
Speaker 9 (13:09):
It's a pleasure.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
He looked down. Uh, what do you? What do you
think is the douchebag here?
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Chris?
Speaker 9 (13:15):
So, I think ultimately the douchebag is and the writer.
I know it's not popular, but we all have Uncle
Marty's and aunts whatever her name was and Ann was,
could have just turned this whole thing into Okay, grandma
wants to wait, so let's wait, and you just pivot.
You call an audible and you adjust and then that way.
(13:38):
I mean, the only thing that people are going to
talk about now because of this drama about their Thanksgiving
dinner is this delay? Well, it could have been something,
you know, something else.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Can I ask you?
Speaker 5 (13:47):
And I asked a question, are you really, Marty?
Speaker 4 (13:54):
Have you never had had you never had young kids?
People are angry people now.
Speaker 1 (13:59):
Now.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
I got a I got Nana down there, who's who's
making an uproar that we're not going to eat. I
got kids that are acted that are like losing their minds.
You got twenty one other people who who know where
the big hand was on o'clock.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
And I don't. I don't understand, No, Chris, Can I
just say something? I totally get where you're coming from.
And you are one hundred percent right, You are one
hundred percent no. No, here's why. Because he's right, You're
gonna get pitched a curveball. How you react to that
curveball makes or breaks the rest of the day. So
you pivot and you're like, you, guys, I think you
(14:32):
just broke the rest of the day because everybody's pissed
you twenty get over it now. It is possible, Chris,
I appreciate it, thank you. I don't. As a matter
of fact, if you listen back to this, I'm deleting
this and I know how to do that. Now, twenty
one people, I have to redirect. You know what, sometimes
when we go to war, we lose a few people,
you will get the big number, small number you got.
(14:55):
So we've got Nana all wound up, and we got
twenty one people who I can tell time. I calm down.
So you're actually gonna go into the podcast. You're gonna
edit this out of the best of You're gonna edit
him out. That call never took place. It never took place, Scottie.
If you need any help, let's go to Brian. Brian,

So I got three scotty to two. Is that where
we're at?
Speaker 9 (15:53):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (15:54):

Speaker 9 (16:00):

All right? Get him out? That's what dispensary days. Get
him out of here, Get him out, hol him on,
you move faster here, please, please get him out. Hold on,
don't give him their coat? My favorite line, don't give
him Wow, precursor of what was to come. Let's go
(16:51):
to Kim Kim. I have four to two for to Kim,
who's the douchebag. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 8 (16:57):
First of all, why did every family have to have
these losers?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
And I'm definitely gonna say Mary and best, yes, thank you.
I love the family's got losers in them. Okay, well,
thank losers, thank you. Yeah, it's longer, my god, Jo
the Douchebowjo the douchebag, Jo the douchebag. Yeah. I'm just
(17:23):
sitting there thinking about you know how two hours that
food's gonna stay warm? Oh my god, then you, I
don't know. It just doesn't feel as fresh you want
it when it's right out of the oven. That's why
dinner time is planned at one period period. When did
your disco? Did you just leave and come back?
Speaker 8 (17:38):
No?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
A few minutes ago, you agreed that the writer is
the douchebag. No, no, no, no, you're gonna throw you a curve.
No no, wait a second. I agreed with his reasoning
as to why he feels the way he feels. My
votes stayed the same, but I get what he's saying. However,
react to a bad situation determines the rest of your day.
So somebody comes in and acts like a moron, blah
blah blah, do you let that moron ruin your day
(17:59):
or do you just go over there and you move on?
But it depends. Kind of gets ruined when nobody can
eat for two hours. That I agree with. I agree
with that. I'm just acknowledging that his theory is correct.
A way to handle a bad situation. Kelly.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Kelly works in a restaurant. Everything's ready to go now.
They've worked all morning to make.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Sure that nothing that's cool overdone dry later. I got
what you were saying, Chris, go ahead, Erica.
Speaker 7 (18:30):
I kind of wonder what Bev and Marty's reaction was
when they walked in the door.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Were they sympathetic, were they sorry, you know? Or were
they like, all right, we can eat now, thanks for waiting.
You should have waited, you know. I kind of wonder.
I totally don't think so, because a drama queen is
going to be like, oh my god, what we went through,
not what happened to you as a result of that,
It's going to be meaning me.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
I don't know what the weather was like Saturday this
past Saturday, but I would have wet down the front stairs.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
I locked the door, hopeing got cold. I will say this, God,
I hope those are fake names. Yeah right, God, I
hope those are fake names. If you're writing in please
use don't use real names. I don't want anybody who
are amazing. I don't want anybody to Yeah, you don't
(19:19):
need the kind of noise that these things create. Trust me.
The first few times when we did a weekly punch
the face, people lost their jobs because they they said,
I'm gonna punch my boss Bill who works here. And
I'm like, no, no, no, don't do that. Just use their names,
but don't tell us workplaces and stuff like that, you
know what I mean. People don't realize that when you
jump on the radio with us, because like we're friends
(19:40):
and blah blah blah. That sometimes I think.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Anne is perfectly fine because Bev and Marty can't even
remember the side plate, so they're not going to remember
to bring something over to the house to hurt, to
get the bat to break their legs.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
I would have loved to have known what the side
plate was. Okay, there's nothing work, there's nothing worth waiting
two hours for. I would have said, well, we just
inhabit that, not even your company. Yeah, right away I did.
I did post the Cranberry orange relish Valerie the Valerie
makes that my mom made. I posted that on our
Facebook page. A lot of people were asking me for it.
I said, I think. I think it's right off the
(20:13):
back of the ocean spray. It's on the back of
some of the bags. I don't know if it's on
the back of all. Yeah, and uh, Tom and Erica
have been bonding on a new level today because they
found out they have a shared love of something I
hate is green Greenbee Castle.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
Yeah, Erica is the third daughter I never had.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
It's not a Friday, but it is a Wednesday Vegas gambling.
It's a very serious business. This is just taking advantage
of an extraordinary business. I think you betting here on
a Friday with Tom, we do some quick football picks
because Kelly is a massive gambler who's always chasing it,
which he says never to do. No, never chase, never chase.
(21:08):
I lose consistently lately. Yeah, I never chase. But you're
still gambling. Isn't that chasing? When you lose?
Speaker 6 (21:14):
Chase is when say, say you have a tough one
o'clock and four o'clock Sunday in BEVC. You lose, say
you lose fifty bucks, you decide to load it all
up in the night game, thinking to.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Make just make up for it. Then you lose again.
That's chasing. We don't chase.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
Okay, you take your medicine, all right. Last week we
took a lot of medicine. Oh for four skunked. Last
week we're twenty seven and thirty way, we're below fine,
but that's not good.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
We'll begin this week on this Thanksgiving Eve.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
A nice family quote from legendary golfer Greg Norman, who said,
I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother
and father. I will take the Dallas Cowboys at home
Turkey Day game tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Get three and a half against the Chiefs. Chiefs Cowboys
do it. They crushed the Chiefs. All right, I'm gonna
take Philadelphia Eagles by seven of Chicago. That's what I'm
gonna take. Philly O Chicago. You don't like that. You
just made a face. That's that Philly. No, no, no,
I've been on a I can't.
Speaker 6 (22:17):
I have no reason to be able to judge any Okay,
I've been losing left and right.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Okay, Erica, you want to make a pick or okay? Yeah, sure, Okay, Scotty,
you want to make.
Speaker 4 (22:24):
It, I go Kelly Brown with the Denver Broncos giving
six and a half at Washington.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Okay, and Scotty, do you have a sheet over there?
Speaker 5 (22:31):
I do?
Speaker 1 (22:32):
Show Tom see if he'll take a pick. We'll just
going around the horn here. I don't care, neither do I.
I just do it so I don't get fined. Who
do you want to go? All right? I'm going with
Pat's seven point five over in New York Giants football.
There you go. I'm taking Philly O with Chicago Kelly
Dallas Cowboys. Do it tomorrow Turkey Day beating the Chiefs.
Scotty one more time to Broncos giving six and a
(22:52):
half at Washington, and one more Pat seven point five?
I guess the Giant all right? So I have to
uh when we come back. I want to have a story,
and I have a something we talked about earlier. Maybe
the eight o'clock hour listeners haven't heard it yet. But
I learned something about a friend of mine that I
was blown away. I've known her for forty years and
(23:15):
had no clue that she was had a relationship or
working relationship with Tom. Make sure you say work. I did,
I did, And never came up in conversation, never came
up all these years we've been friends. Well, I got
a phone call from TMZ. They want to know the girl.
Speaker 7 (23:31):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
But anyway, so that and more coming up in just
a moment. We're coming right back. This is great. I'm
in love with him and I intend to marry a drummer.
(23:52):
But being the real musician, he just makes a noise.
You don't know what you're talking about. It if he
played the violin or the piano, and of it made sense.
But the drums.
Speaker 10 (24:01):
You need a buzz. Well they're available on demand at
morning buzz dot com keyword on demand and now it's
back to the buzz.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I was talking to a bass player last night. He goes,
what do you want me? I'm a bass player. I'm like, yeah,
the only where is a bass player is a drummer.
I was thinking to you, why are you talking to
the bass player? Huh? Why are you talking to the
bass players because the guy plays bass. Oh he's a
friend and we were talking and he made a joke
about him being a bass player. I said, he's being
a drummer. You know, I thought you right, not talk
to bass players. Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Yeah no,
but don't you have to. That's the rhythm section. You
(24:31):
have to be a lockstack. Yeah, but I try to
like talk to somebody else that talks to Ben Okay, okay, yeah,
uh he's Scott he's rich. So something I noticed during
me Who's the Douchebag? Segment? I'm sitting here and we're
talking about it, and and I work on visual cues.
(24:54):
I'm watching everybody in the room. I'm looking for the
eyes to connect with me, so I can you know,
if Eric looks at me and I go like that
sliff my head and my eyebrows off, that means I'm
throwing it to you, like these little nonverbal cubes. And
that's why he dies them.
Speaker 4 (25:06):
So they're darker than everything else on his face, so
they bring attention.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
You don't die anything anyway. It is also why Scotty
likes to keep his eyes below the computer screen so
I can't see him, and it really is frustrating. But anyway,
one thing I did notice is during a Who's the Douchebag?
I said something and then Tom wanted to say something,
and Tom started to talk, and Roadkill started to talk
and wrote, and Tom reached over and put his hand
on Tom. I mean Tom reached over and put his
(25:32):
hand on Scotty's shoulder and he pulled away. He pulled
away like he was like he was like it was
almost like he scared him. But it wasn't. Because I
saw Scotty's eyes that said, don't blanking interrupt me.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
I was like whoa. I was like, wow, do everything
is fine. I didn't draw a knife or anything.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Yeah, but I was like it all of a sudden,
Scots serious, like just interrupted road. Oh, very I was
getting very passionate, very not about this topic. So I'm
on the phone with Tom. Can I tell this story? Sure?
I'm on the phone with Tom. Uh not. He wasn't
(26:16):
here in our area. He was away. Yeah, I was
in Connecticut.
Speaker 5 (26:20):
And and just to give it context, I think we were.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
You were updating me on the whole situation with Laura.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
A serious talk and I did not particularly want to
be interrupted. But I was also awaiting a delivery from
door Dash, So I'm.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Getting I think it was like Chile's sliders, well, certainly
worthy of an interruption.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
So having this, you know, serious conversation, the doorbell rings,
and I opened the door, hoping the sliders have arrived,
and there's this young guy clearly not from door dash
And if you want to take it from.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
There, yeah, so the guys. I hear the guy talking,
and I hear talking about uh huh uh huh uh
huh like and I I have the great uh honor
to see uh bergeron Like you know, he's a great guy.
He's there's no mask about the man. The man you
see on TV. He's that guy one hundred percent, which
is really really rare. But there are moments when the
(27:23):
blades come out and he is such a nice guy
that when you just have gotten cut by then you
don't even realize, like you're he's walking away and you're bleeding,
you know what I mean. You don't even know it verbally,
of course, So this guy launches into a spiel I
don't know about TV.
Speaker 5 (27:42):
It was like he was from the phone company. He
wanted us to do their new whatever.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
So that level of disdain he had his voice right there,
he has it in the moment. So Kelly, the guy's like, hey,
look sir, I really don't want to waste your time.
And Tom says with the biggest smile on his face
even I can't I can't see him, but he goes, yeah,
I don't want you to waste my time either, and
the guy keeps going. He's on the speel, he's on
(28:08):
the spiel, and then it starts to go and Tom's
got like, look, I gotta I gotta go. He's trying
to he's trying to be polite. The guy is trying
to wrap up the spiel. And the second thing you said, well.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
He said, is there a better time to come back?
And I said probably never.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Yeah, that is forever. Can you imagine looking into the
eyes of America's sweetheart to some and have him go yeah,
probably never. A big smile, thump, door goes closed. I'm like, wow,
that was great.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
You are You are a an amazing guy, and I
mean we're very lucky that you know, you come in,
you hang out with us. This past summer, you we did.
We were down I had one of our lunches.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Yeah yeah yeah, and Tom was there, yeah yeah, yeah.
Speaker 10 (28:56):
We ate.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
But the old fairy Land we were the len help
and can winners, which we will be doing again.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Outside we're chatting and everything, and these people had been
staring at you through the whole dinner, through the whole lunch,
whole lunch, and you taking photos of you while you're
eating everything, and I can see it out of the
corner of my eye, and you go out there and
we're all saying goodbye, and then they finally they came
over and they're just like, you know, I know this
is rude, but I just can't help myself. And you
(29:21):
are such a pro because.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
I would have been like, no, you're right rude, You're rude.
Follow your heart, now, follow your brain because it's telling you,
so you do it right now. O'bnoxious freaking bro.
Speaker 4 (29:38):
And I went home and I said to Amy, I'm like,
you know, I don't know how he does it, because
for me, it's like there's a time and a place
and I've seen famous people.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
And you just kind of go, you know what, leave
them alone.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
And there's other times that I'm like, oh, I really
really really want to, you know, just get a quick photo,
go over and just say thank you.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
But you were so But the woman was.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
So funny because she said, oh, you know, I know
what I'm doing is rude and this is so wrong,
but you know what my insides are telling me, I need.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
To do this, and I'd be like, well, the road,
I didn't see a problem with it. I took the picture.
I took the picture for you.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
But I was like, man, you know, sometimes it's like,
you know what, but that's who you are?
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Well, do you know any other way to be? I mean,
you're just nice.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
Right, yeah, I mean obviously and you've heard it. There
are times when, uh, you know, I'll respond with a
smile in my voice, but with daggers in my heart
and but you know something like that. Uh, Like I
wasn't aware that you know, they were watching what we were eating.
Speaker 4 (30:36):
It was it was just funny to me. And I
was like, oh, this is you know, just a pro.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
You know, like somebody I was at, uh doing something
yesterday and I could say, oh, I was at a
Starbucks in Lee and uh, and I was aware somebody
was kind of in the in the zone.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Sometimes you get the feeling, some feeling, but.
Speaker 5 (30:57):
I could also sense that they were feeling bashful about Yeah,
so I turned the moment we made eye contact, the
gentleman said hello and all that, and I wished him
happy holidays and all and yeah, look it's ninety nine
point nine percent of the time.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
People are nice, so nice the fact that they would
even want that, like the exact a compliment when Scotty
almost stabbed you when you interrupted him in the studio.
So that tells you where that's coming from. You to go, okay,
all right, we're touching.
Speaker 5 (31:33):
Every so often, they'll there'll be somebody like we had
somebody come to the house to do some work and
and he alluded to Dancing with the Stars a couple
of weeks ago when I was there, and it was
but but it felt compelled to also say, I don't
I don't ever watch that show, but it happened. Is
it's like, Okay, you know you don't have to just
(31:56):
just be nice.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
You don't have to denigrate and yeah, exactly, you know
you don't have to take somebody down. Yeah, yeah, I
get it. I under said, I'm with you. We're very
I think we think alike in that matter. So quickly,
I want to tell you this real quick before we break,
because on the backside of this break, we're going to
make a phone call that the person doesn't know what's coming. Uh.
I worked in the beginning of my career. The first
(32:17):
I told this earlier. If you heard it, I'm sorry
to repeat, but I'll bring the list at that age,
it's okay. Anyway, Marty and Benny just try to be
the professional. So anyway, Uh, this woman that I was
I first, I first worked with some of you may
remember in my early days on wh G B, I
(32:39):
was with Courtney. It was Gregg and Courtney. And she
is a wonderful, wonderful person. We still talk frequently. Good friends,
a lover, she's the best, so so great, and so
the other day we're talking. Now we've been this is
thirty five years ago, right, She's like, she brought your
name up because she watched you last week on with
(33:00):
the Stars. And she's like, oh my god, I love him.
He's the nicest person ever. And I'm thinking, yeah, we've
known him, you've known him forever. And she didn't say anything,
and she's like, uh, you know, I was his intern
when he was doing the BZ Morning Show down in Boston.
So that was before we worked together. And I'm like,
you you were she was, yeah, and then I was
a producer for People are Talking on Channel four, the
talk show, and I'm like intern, yeah, and she's like, uh,
(33:23):
I'm like, I didn't know that. She's like, actually he
wrote me the recommendation that got me the job with you.
I'm like blown away. So we start talking and I'm like,
how did you never tell me that? Like, I didn't
know that. You know, we've been friends, we've talked, you know,
I talk a lot and you know. Anyway, Uh. She
(33:46):
then goes into the closet while we're on the phone
and finds the actual recommendation and then she sent it
to me. I'm like, read it to me. It was
actually on parchment. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was typed with
a typewriter. Yeah that's that's like a computer that that
doesn't have any electronics in it, Like you know what
I mean. Okay, So anyway, and she she's like it
(34:07):
was the nicest letter of flowery, beautiful language. Is so kind.
So she reads the letter to me over the phone
and then she pauses and she goes, all right, maybe
it's not that kind, and it's not that really, it's
par it's par It's like that's the word she used.
Par And I'm like, it's it's a great recommendation. But
she didn't know that Tom was coming in today, Like
I knew he was coming in. She's just getting off
(34:29):
the air, so we're gonna call her. I don't know.
Everybody's got that weird deal. I don't know what. We
got to rework the deal. So we're gonna we're gonna
call Courtney. She doesn't know. Oh all right, So now
(34:52):
I'm gonna Uh, I'm gonna. I'm gonna call the woman
that was my first radio partner, Courtney Uh, whom I adore,
always have, She's the best. And UH found out a
day ago that she worked with Tom. She was an
intern for him on a busy radio when he was
(35:13):
in Boston, and then the talk show he did on TV.
And then she tells me that he wrote the actual
job recommendation. He wrote the recommendation for her to get
the job with me. How's it is that weird? That
is weird? So she doesn't know this, but I'm about to. Uh,
nor did I until two days ago. Yeah, I know.
(35:36):
Totally got me by surprise. So she doesn't know he's here.
I'm gonna I, I what are you go going on
for Thanksgiving? Tom? I'm busy, but I'm busy. He's jamming, dude,
whistling creeps me out and he's really good at it.
(35:58):
You don't have to cook anything. He does vibrato in
a whistle, psychopaths through that. I'm sorry, sorry, Marty and Ben.
It's a good call back, good callback, all right. I
think this is it. Let's let's call it all right.
So don't say anything. She doesn't go, She answers, she's
(36:21):
off the air now. So hello, court you're on the air.
It's Greg You're on the air. What he's doing?
Speaker 7 (36:38):
What's up?
Speaker 1 (36:39):
What she calls me? Gerg? I just thought it was
safe name. It's a it's a cute nickname that she's had,
Scotty saide of Courtney, Kelly Courney. There you go?
Speaker 8 (36:51):
Well wait is that real?
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Kill?
Speaker 6 (36:53):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Oh my god? What are you guys doing? What's going on?
Speaker 4 (37:00):
So?
Speaker 1 (37:00):
Were you off the air? I do a show?
Speaker 5 (37:04):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Gerg? Until ten?
Speaker 6 (37:06):
Am?
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Oh? I thought you were off the Oh? So are
you in a break? You have time to talk for
a second? I am okay. I do I have a surprise.
Speaker 8 (37:13):
For you downtown Kelly Brown.
Speaker 5 (37:16):
To whom it may concern, Courtney worked on our morning
radio show and on our midday TV talk show as
an intern, with responsibilities ranging from guest bookings to dealing
with studio audience and everything in between. She was always energetic, involved, industrious,
(37:38):
and I'm charging her by the adjective extremely, I charge
even more for bold type interested in continuing her adventure
in broadcasting, I recommend her highly sincerely, Tom bergeron WBZ
Radio and TV.
Speaker 8 (37:59):
Well, guess what now that you bring that up, is Tom?
Speaker 1 (38:02):
This is really Tom? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (38:03):
Yeah, okay, Well, now that you're bringing this up kind
of generic. And when I was looking at it, there
is no date on this letter of recommendation, so I
could possibly use this again again.
Speaker 5 (38:19):
Well, now that you bring it up, energetic, involved, industrious,
and I received no remuneration for the adjectives yet, nor
did I get the money for the bold type extremely.
So that's forty years of compounded interest.
Speaker 1 (38:41):
I think you all have somebody.
Speaker 8 (38:42):
Well listen, I will pay double plus interest. But get
that word industrious out.
Speaker 7 (38:47):
What does that even mean? And I'd like a few
more adjectives in here.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
She so she thought, like her memory, like, do you
know how you in your memory you romanticized thing. It
was a beautiful, beautifully written letter. She's like, it was
so kind. He's such a nice guy.
Speaker 5 (39:02):
Well, you know, what you know, dearly when he was
describing this letter to me and he said that you
have described it as flowery.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
I said, well, that doesn't sound like me. But what
was so funny is she says that and then she
finds it, which is the Nela Haystack, and then she
reads it to me, and I'm thinking, like, that's a
nice recommendation letter, and she goes, you know, looking at
it now, not that much. And I was like, it
was just it was this classic Courtney moment. I feeling like,
(39:35):
you know, so here I am expecting.
Speaker 8 (39:38):
I romantic I romanticized it. I've been talking about it
for forty years. Tom, I came a closet and it
was a leaddown.
Speaker 5 (39:49):
By the way, you're not the first woman to say
that after expecting a flowering occasion.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
I got I gotta ask, And I don't know if
I said it on the phone the other day. How
is it that never came up? Don't you didn't ever
tell me that? Forty years and you haven't told me
that until whatever it was yesterday or Monday or was
he not listening? No, I was listening.
Speaker 7 (40:10):
He wasn't listening.
Speaker 8 (40:13):
Listen, Tom, this is the letter of recommendation I used
to get my job with GERG.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Well that's what he that's what he told me.
Speaker 5 (40:21):
So it may not have been flowery, but let's face it,
it was effective.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Yeah, it was effective. It was effective.
Speaker 7 (40:28):
It could be more.
Speaker 8 (40:30):
Effective if you fixed it and I could use it again.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
Wow, that's nice.
Speaker 5 (40:34):
She owes me forty years compounded interest and she's trying
to negotiate for more adjectives and she won't pay.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
What the truth is, Court, you got the job because
you're that damn good, that's why. Because you deserved it,
and you deserve everything you've worked for in gotten and
you're amazing and you're a friggin rock star, have been forever, period.
Speaker 7 (40:55):
And do I have to pay you for this?
Speaker 1 (40:57):
Now? That was flowery? No, I'm a photographer. I'm flowery.
I'm outside of nature. It's what I do. It's what
I do. He's a draffic guy, Yeah today I am. Anyway, No,
I just thought it was funny. How weird is it
that I never knew that? And the connections that you
find out the older you get, the connections that exist
(41:19):
all around you and you don't even know about. It's
kind of an amazing thing. That's all, And I just thought,
can I just say.
Speaker 7 (41:25):
Quickly, Tom, I appreciate you giving me the internship I
worked for.
Speaker 8 (41:29):
People are talking. I also worked for your morning radio show,
and I remember when you used to shit at your
desk and we would talk about your gaze as a mine.
Speaker 1 (41:38):
Trying to get out of an imaginary box. That's right,
trying to get out of it. She did, however, truth
be told, had nothing but the kindest. She said, you
were the kindest man she'd ever met. She said that
to me before this all came out. It's crazy.
Speaker 5 (41:59):
Yeah, yeah, one.
Speaker 1 (42:02):
Until I saw this letter of re second and then
she also goes, he was the nicest guy I've ever met.
And then there's you. You well, you mean you, you
know your dice, you know what I mean. Close second,
close second. But anyway, all right, give a little, take
a little. You've got to go back to your show.
But I just wanted to call and have Tom say
hi to you. And yeah, that was that was pretty cool.
So holidays, Yeah, happy.
Speaker 7 (42:25):
Happy holidays you guys.
Speaker 5 (42:26):
Yeah, happy holidays.
Speaker 1 (42:27):
Greg.
Speaker 7 (42:28):
I love you to the.
Speaker 4 (42:28):
Moon and back forever.
Speaker 8 (42:30):
You're my guy. Thanks for the letter of recommendation.
Speaker 7 (42:34):
I do appreciate it, and I.
Speaker 1 (42:35):
Work on the okay, and I'll work on a rewrite. Okay,
all right, Court, all right, rock on, love you bag,
thank you.
Speaker 7 (42:42):
Rock on.
Speaker 1 (42:42):
Bye guys. She's funny. Yeah, she pushes. Oh yeah, it's
the best. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (42:49):
So many times I've told people just you know, like
we had on do you Have a Minute. Yeah, So
we had like Simon Cowell on Hollywood Squares Back with
you know, and we take five shows. And today, after
the first three shows, when we broke for lunch, I said, Simon,
you haven't taken any shots at me at all.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
Yeah. He goes, Oh.
Speaker 5 (43:08):
I said, no, you got you got to treat me
like I got a bullseyon, right.
Speaker 1 (43:11):
Because that's where that's where it's more fun. Yeah, yea, yeah,
that's where you lisvet.
Speaker 5 (43:14):
So finally he started insulting me by the Thursday show.
Speaker 1 (43:17):
Yeah. But you always want to have reverence, Yeah, like
you always want to when you meet somebody that you
really like, you know, it takes time to go okay,
now I can't Yeah, yeah, okay, now I can.
Speaker 9 (43:28):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (43:28):
Erica has been working here for a year and it
was probably last week where I gave her the bird
over the zoom call the first time. Yeah, yeah, because
that's when you know, right, that's when you know.
Speaker 5 (43:44):
Well, that's interesting because we met the first time when
I came in, you know what, a couple of a
couple of months ago.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
She had no problem insulting me right away. Yeah. Yeah,
that's true. That's true. That's true.
Speaker 4 (43:57):
So I have daughters Erica's age, so I was first
a little uncomfortable. But then we went to a tattoo
convention and we looked through another woman's legs, her thighs
and made eye contact and and she waved to me,
and I'm.
Speaker 1 (44:09):
Like, it's a cool check this moment. It took him
a minute to see that Erica was back there because
he was staring between the legs this time, and she
waves at me.
Speaker 9 (44:24):
She is a cool chick.
Speaker 1 (44:25):
Wow. Scobby's eyes went from like, you know, twelve o'clock
high down about ten where Erica was, you know, eye level,
and it's like she caught him.
Speaker 5 (44:32):
You know what. I had a sudden craving for a
courtroom artist to just do that picture.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
So all right, so what do we got going on
for for Thanksgiving?
Speaker 3 (44:41):
It?
Speaker 1 (44:41):
Because I know you have to very very low key.
Speaker 5 (44:43):
It's it's our daughter, oldest daughter is coming over, our
youngest daughter and son in Laura in California. So it's
going to be just the three of us and my
Granddogger nice Yice.
Speaker 1 (44:54):
Very low key. I uh, I know we have here.
I know we're gonna break a little bit. I just
have to say, you heard the segment yesterday where we
were talking about things people hated about Thanksgiving, Yes, and
Scotty who talked about you know, grace and all that.
Don't don't look at me and ask me to say
what I'm thankful for. Don't do it right. I go
home yesterday and we are in full on holiday preparation mode.
(45:18):
The table is as every single leaf that we have
in the dining room table to make it longer, is
in there. The one end of the table sticks out
of the dining room into the kitchen. It's a big ass,
probably twelve foot long table. It's big. We're gonna have
a lot of people. The candles are in the window. Okay,
there's no, there's no, there's the snowmen. Decorations are up.
(45:41):
Valery has them up above that She's always got your thing. No, no, no, no,
there's no Christmas tree. There's no other right times lazy
getting there, huh lazy bet she got so yes, she says,
can you help me for a second, and I said sure, working,
I mean, yeah, yeah, I'll help you. So I go
over and she's trying to pull a long stretch of
(46:04):
looks like brown paper like I guess wrapping, but heavy
stuff across the dining room table. She's gonna cover it,
and I'm like, and she's like, so, I pull all
the whole length that I'm holding it. She comes, she
cuts it, she goes back. She's doing around two I'm like,
what are you doing? What is this for? She's like,
this is gonna be the tablecloth. I'm like, it's a
like a brown paper bag. Like she's like, well, I'm
(46:26):
gonna put a white thing over in the middle of it.
Like I don't know if she's seen this on Etsy
or whatever. I'm like, what do you what are you
what for? And she says, I want to have people
right what they're thankful for on it. Oh God.
Speaker 4 (46:48):
So years ago, my sister was on some kick and
we did the same thing, like they built a tree
and and I go, I'm gonna put family and they're like, no,
don't pick something you know different.
Speaker 1 (46:59):
And I'm like, drums.
Speaker 4 (47:01):
So then everybody goes down and they read the tree,
what are you thankful for the drums?
Speaker 1 (47:04):
And then my daughters are like, you're not thankful for us?
And I'm like I got spoken to for doing what.
I immediately go really, I mean, you're gonna write, it's
gonna go through the table, it's coming on the table.
Say no, no, no, no, bah blah. And I'm like, honey,
we just talked about this on the air and Roadkill
hammered people that do this.
Speaker 4 (47:20):

I'm dumb. I mean, you gotta be hit me with
(54:44):
a two by four and you order to realize anything
like that. But that was this was pretty right straight
up there.
Speaker 4 (54:50):
Yeah, when you when you get I don't know if
it's everywhere, but in New Hampshire. If you get divorced,
you have to take like a parent in class to

I think there's still some single tickets and stuff left,
and don't be afraid to get a single ticket or
you know, a couple up in the balconies because I
will tell you one of the things we like to
do at Buzzball is go up into the audience and
pull people from the top, you know, from up top
and bring him down to the front row.

through yet, so everybody stay calm, Like, if you're in
the first.

see how it goes. And now this what's the Buzz?

I would certainly hope, so I would certainly hope they
would be surprises. I mean, you've been out on the
road forever. I want to see some songs you don't
normally play. I mean. One of the great things about
being a fan, a longtime fan of a band and
(59:13):
seeing a band like let's say you two like for
me saw them like eleven times in nineteen eighty seven,
there was always something different in the set. I like
bands that switch it up so you can go multiple nights.
Dave Matthews bands like that. They do it all the time.
You get to see songs he didn't see the night before.
Speaker 4 (59:27):
You know, I don't think you're gonna see that a
big of a difference Quanty Crew, I'm not. You might
he might actually sing on que one night, and maybe
the next night he won't. Maybe one night Nikki six
will play his bass and maybe the next night he won't.
So you're gonna get very different shows. It up, they're
gonna make it that day. Sometimes I guess they may
sing in key, sometimes they may not.
Speaker 1 (59:49):
You'll hear the bass, his hand won't be on it. Yeah,
you'll hear the bass. Yeah, it's the bass playing, but
why is he not holding it? The Hell's up with that?
That is so cool? Yeah, fun, good times. Elton John

eyesight and he is losing sight in his right eye.

there's a better rock honor to be on with ac DC,
But that's going to happen, and I think also you're
going to see some solo shows with the band too,

going on here? I'm tired about hearing about side dishes.

baby Cato in the ghetto South Park, So he would
play that when I would talk about how hard we
(01:03:16):
had it, and then after the funeral he said, I'm
never playing that again. He was serious, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4 (01:03:21):
I'm doing that so you could hear it. So now
if anybody says anything to you, we don't play that.
Speaker 1 (01:03:25):
And I said, yep, you can still do it. It's
it's funny, it's just and he's like, nope, and so
I don't argue about it anymore. Let me see here,
fifty percent of Americans are going to have a twenty
five year old recipe on the table tomorrow. Yeah. I

Speaker 4 (01:04:31):
For those of you who are newly single and as
you head into the holidays, these are four tips for
handling the holidays as a newly single person. Craft your
responses in advance, get answers already for these questions, recruit help,
drag a family member, and then say, hey, listen, I'm
a little nervous.
Speaker 1 (01:04:46):
Be honest. If it didn't work, it didn't work, give
yourself grace. It's okay. And don't ask people. Don't ask
people when you're gonna get married. Don't ask that question.
You know what, don't you need to get married alone?
It's right up there when you went out of the baby.
I don't know. Maybe when the price of everything comes down, Nanna,
(01:05:06):
that's what you go with the price of price, all right? Anyway.
K MC introducing a new gravy flight featuring three flavors
of gravy. I'm down with this man signature brown, new
White peppercorn and new Southwest Cheddar gravy. You can keep
(01:05:27):
the cheddar, but I mean three Gravy's a gravy flight

Anything else here? What do teachers really want for the holidays? What?
Wh whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa? What will you? Is
a gift registry? Look, you want to give a teacher,
(01:05:49):
I certainly do it, but don't I don't want to
hear what teachers want.
Speaker 4 (01:05:52):
I want.
Speaker 1 (01:05:55):
It's nice, of course, do things for your TEA months
out of the year offs not enough, But I don't
no stop that. I love teachers. I just think, who's
going on? What do you want for a gift? I'm like,
you get four months out of the year off paid
and you want more? How do you not realize? You
know what all the work teachers do? You think? It's
they get out at three and they go home? Are
(01:06:16):
you kidding me? Cut on and more than they get paid,
they don't get paid squat. I'm telling you they're shaping
your young mind, and they're just as much. They're just
as much social workers now than they are teachers because
they care about these kids. Sometimes the hugs teachers give
kids are the only hugs they get period. Fact, four
(01:06:40):
months out of the year, you don't have to work. Okay,
all right, road kill the morning, but I don't want
to hear it. I don't want to hear it. All right, Well, anyway,
