Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's nice eyes unknell you easy Boston's news radio. Go ahead,
hit it, Rob Soredity, Now you know what really grinds
my gears?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
People in the nineteenth century, Why don't take that with
the freaking program. It's called an automobile, folks. It's much
faster than a horse three two one one two three.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
What the heck it's bothering me.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
This is a place of business.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
I told you now to come in here, Soriadity.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Now my years they grind might stay And I'm like, yeah,
that's the question for this twentieth hour. This is an
opportunity for to get it off your chest. What grinds
your gears? What event? And you can we can span
(00:57):
the spectrum here, okay, we can span the world as
they used to do on Wide World of Sports. I
have several things that grind my gears, okay, and I
would prefer to hear yours. Okay. You know that I'm
not a big bike layme guy, okay, And that's for me.
Something that just grinds my gears when I watch people,
(01:18):
and no matter where you're driving, whether you're driving in
the in the city and the suburbs in a more
rural area. Someone's out there on that bike and let
me tell you, they're the king and the Queen of
the road and if you make the mistake, you make
the mistake of getting too close to them. So yeah,
for me, that's always that. I have some other issues
(01:42):
that bother me. Okay, but that's what we're gonna do tonight.
We need to sit back and what I need people
to do is get it off your chest. Okay. A
week from tonight, which will be the final Friday night
of August, we will do for the sixth month in
a row. And it's going to be really interesting next
(02:02):
Friday night. Not that what grinds your gears is not
going to be interesting tonight, a week from tonight, at
this hour, in the twentieth hour of the weekend. For
those of you who aren't familiar with my program, we
do twenty hours a week. Some people think that's a
part time job. It's more than a full time job,
trust me, Okay, money do Friday eight to midnight. This
(02:22):
is our number twenty. That's why we call it the
twentieth hour. And we try we try to come up
with a different topic which can allow us to kind
of get into the weekend and we can put you know,
all of the politics aside. Democrat, Republican, Trump, Harris Biden
just kind of let that go, and so tonight it's
(02:45):
an opportunity. What is it in your everyday life? Or
maybe I don't know, maybe I'm not trying to tell
you to what grinds your gears? What just kind of
ticks you off? So that's what we're going to talk about.
The lines will be open right now. Six one, seven, two, five, four,
(03:06):
ten thirty six one seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty.
What grinds your gears? It's as simple as that. And
it can be a huge issue or it can be
a minor issue, but mostly it's something that you have
(03:28):
to see often. I mean the fact that someone cuts
you off today on Route nine or Root one that's
a one and done. That's a one and done. One
of the things that in terms of motor vehicle traffic
that grinds my gears. And I'd love to hear from
some of you in this one if you agree with me,
(03:48):
is you're you're sitting in the left hand lane and
you're going sixty five miles an hour, okay, and all
of a sudden someone comes up behind you with a truck.
There's someone in front of you who's going sixty five
miles an hour. There's someone in in front of them,
maybe going sixty five miles an hour, maybe going sixty
seven miles an hour, but this truck wants to go
eighty five miles an hour. And they either don't want
(04:09):
to pass you on the right or they just want
to ride your bumper, so you get over. I used
to really get upset about that. I'm not as upset
about it anymore. What I'd like to do, particularly if
there's somebody, I mean, if there's nobody in front of me,
I'll gladly get over. You want to blow by me, great,
I hope you meet mister state police officer. But if
there's someone like just you know, a little bit in
(04:31):
front of me, I pull over it because then the
knucklehead behind me has to deal with the person who
was in front of me. And I've watched these guys
and they they are intent. Even if they have the
opportunity to go into the middle lane and you know,
blow by people, they want to be able to force
you over. That's for them, that is the challenge, And
(04:54):
of course that's very dangerous because if they're riding on
your tail, literally on your and there are a lot
of people who were unaware of it. Ah, if they
happen to need to hit the brakes quickly. I mean,
you know, a small animal runs out of the woods.
We're talking about being when you're on on one twenty
(05:14):
Master Turnpike or whatever major roadway in your area. So
that's the topic of the night. What grinds your gears?
And there have been there have been things that that
that have bothered a variety of people, and we normally
get some pretty interesting reactions here. So let us start
it off with I hope Bill in Pennsylvania's calling and
what's grinding gears? Bill in Pennsylvania, welcome back? How are
(05:34):
you sir?
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Good?
Speaker 6 (05:36):
How you doing?
Speaker 7 (05:37):
Dan?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Haven't you great? Normally you call on politics. What grinds
your gears?
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Well, grinds my gears? I I think as uh when
I when I'm making phone calls, like I'm calling especially the.
Speaker 8 (05:51):
A uh.
Speaker 6 (05:53):
Vehicle the vehicle people, okay, yeah, or insurance companies, much
doctor's office, but like, uh, the way the way the
phone system works down now, it used to be get
a live person and you could get your questions.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
You know what grind someone, they must Bill. You call
back and we'll get you back on. Okay, we did
not touch you off, Bill. Maybe that maybe those people
got you up. If you call back and we will
get you on Bill, that's for sure. The only line
that is open right now is six one, seven thirty.
(06:33):
So with a little bit of a false start between
the this Bill coming back. Okay, if he's ready, let's
put him right back on. Okay, Bill, I have no
idea what happened there, Go right ahead. We lost him.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
That that was something in the sky. Dan, Hey, yeah,
but no, it's it's like the phones.
Speaker 9 (06:51):
It used to be able to.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
You know, you'd call any organization or even the government
offices or whatever. Now they put you you got to
listen to this crazy new US, all right, And then
and then they keep and then every now and then
they'll say, well, if you want us to call you back,
leave your number. And then you know, two days later,
I think, damn, what didn't they call me back? And
then you know, and well what I love.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Too is that they'll they'll they'll come on and they'll
they'll tell you what whatever you know, they want to
tell you they'll pitch you or whatever to you know,
thank you very much for calling. Please listen to our
responses because it has recently changed. If you if you
(07:33):
want to talk to the sales department, press one. If
you if you want to talk to the transportation whatever.
So they go through about seven of these and one
of you saying, well, none of them really apply to
what I want. So you kind of guessing, and then
they put you on a thank you for calling. We
value your business. Please stay on the line and you listen.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
You can spend you can spend hours on there, Dan
and never never talk to a life.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I'll tell you a trick, okay, which I have learned,
and this is this is the best trick. And I
am not I want to say right up front, I
am not in senaphobic. I like people from anywhere in
the world, but when I call with a problem, I
would prefer to talk with an American. Okay, it's because
I don't speak a second language. Okay.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And what you can do when you get someone and
you're calling whomever you're calling, you're calling, Yeah, I don't
know that they're even travel agents exist anymore. If you say,
but but you call, may I speak, May I speak
with an on shore representative?
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Oh, okay, on shore representative.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Yeah, I mean, do you remember the Saturday Night Live
gag which is probably politically incorrect. Back in the old days,
it was like there was one woman in India. She
was dressed fully, you know, in traditional Indian garb, and
you know she, you know, say, okay, pizza, the pizza
is on the way, to be there in fifteen minutes.
Then should hang up? The phone would hang up, and
(09:06):
they say, yes, we can, we can book you for
an oil change on Monday at three, okay. And it
was if she was the only person that was answering
the phone anywhere. Uh, you know, then everyone's wanted there
throwing yes, the escort should arrive no later than seven o'clock.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
And then it's it's it's what I think I was
just thinking about this today. It's it's systematic complacency. Okay,
you get, you get. I mean, it seems like no
matter where you go, people are just complacent about doing
their job.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
No, you know what it is in my opinion, and
I stand up and if people agree, feel free. You
have these venture capital companies, okay, who basically decide to
go in and they'll there's a whole bunch of well
known companies. They'll they'll rip a company apart. And what
they do is they try to consolidate. So instead of
(09:59):
each company having somebody answering their phones when you call
that company, you're dealing with some sort of a telephone
center in Wyoming. You know, for example, if you try
to call I don't know, do you do you get
a daily newspaper at your home or no?
Speaker 6 (10:17):
No, no, I know I don't get any newspaper anymore. Dan,
I skip around, Uh you know here and there on
the on the TV and uh, okay, well if you.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
If you if you actually now subscribe to a newspaper, uh,
and your newspaper is not delivered that morning. It used
to be here in Boston. That that that you that
the Boston Globe had their customer service people in Watertown, Massachusetts,
which is a suburb of Boston, and you could explain
to them, gee, I live on this street and uh
(10:47):
and I didn't get you know, I'm close to this
road or whatever. I didn't get my newspaper. Now you're
going to deal with someone in the Philippines, and all
they're doing is they're taking your information they're putting into
a computer. And of course instead of paying somebody in Watertown, Massachusetts,
fifteen or sixteen dollars an hour, they're paying someone in
the Philippines substantially.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
That well, that was, that was.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
That was one of my first jobs. I remember, I said,
in maybe uh sixth seventh grade and got the morning
morning paper out. I think I had like fifty two
papers to deliver. And I was telling somebody the other day,
I said, well, we go collect the money, you know,
we go to each house and we collect the money.
And then I said, me and another paper boy, we'd
(11:33):
put our tips together and go to the Golden Arches.
And I said, and I said, we can get seven
hamburgers for a buck.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
So one week one guy would eat four and the
other guy would eat three. Next next time, I was
swipping swift.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Flipping around. All right, man, I hate to do this
to your bill. I'm glad you called back, but I
got going to keep rolling. Continue to call God bless you.
YouTube coming right back nightside only line, Well, mine just failed.
What grinds your gears? That's all we need to do.
That's it. We're got full lines right now on a
happy camp. We'll be back on night Side as we
(12:09):
head toward Saturday morning. Now back to Dan ray Line
from the Window World, Night six Studios on w b
Z News Radio. All right, we're rolling, now, we've all
we're all set. Let's go to Robert and Stoughton. Robert
next on Nightside. What grind your gears?
Speaker 7 (12:25):
Robert, Well, Dan, it's well, we talk about the traffic.
You know, people with that patient when they're gonna get
the next light, you know, they cross you over and
then they stuff by the next time. But the real
thing that really that I think we've been talking about
it the country. We need to come to the point
(12:52):
that we all Americans the divide and we can't have
people that a billionaire gave me the system, like Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Right away. You want you want to unite us, but
I know that you don't like Donald real quickly. But
this is this is what grinds your gears. But I
want to ask your question, Robert, here's a question.
Speaker 10 (13:14):
One more thing you can't.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
I want you to answer my question, which is this,
what are you gonna do if Donald Trump is elected president?
Speaker 11 (13:24):
But he wont me elected?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
That that solls it? Robert I'm with you, Okay, Yeah,
now that's not gonna happen. So therefore everything's gonna be happy, right,
We're gonna be in change.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
The didn't listen to me.
Speaker 10 (13:38):
Then when that guy said there's a black job, the
la Latino job, Donald Trump don't want to be president.
You even say yourself, a guy who wants to be president,
you want to be president all the people. But when
you call him this is a black job, Latino job,
(13:58):
you know, and you know this kind of thing. That's
what I'm saying, that like grind the country.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Yeah, is I think what he was. I think and
again the last thing I want to do in the
twentieth hour. But I will say to you, I think
when he was trying to say, if you take it
in context, he was saying that when people were coming
across the border, they were not taking jobs as corporate
CEOs or CFOs, They weren't in what they call the
(14:27):
C suite. They were taking jobs of people who were
working blue collar jobs. Well, he was.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
Trying to make him up, but that's not that's not
Donald doer.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Okay, but it's good to know that he won't be elected.
Robert and I still would love to know if somehow
he's elected, are you gonna, you know, fall in line
and say we all got to be together? Now I
somehow think you won't.
Speaker 7 (14:51):
Well, he can't do it, then, don't you understand himself?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Okay, Robert, thank you very much for your keen political insight.
I do appreciate it at whatever you call. Thank you
so much. Let's go to Glenn and Brighton. This is
one of Glenn's favorite topics. Glenn I thought about you
today and he said, we'll do this one for Glenn.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
Go ahead, buddy, Well it's not one of my favorite tups.
That is my favorite tup.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Okay, clarification, well.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
I hate to how do I do this for that
last go is why I'm calling the people who hate Trump.
They won't answer any question if you say I do
this all the time, like what if he wins? Oh
you won't win. I'm like, no, no, just work with
me for a second.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Indulge indulge me.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they won't do it. I mean I
hate the unmitigated hatred. I mean, I know this hatred
on both sides, but my god, Well and then.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
So that's what grinds you. That's what grinds your gears tonight.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Well that I've actually got a thing that has to
do with me as a blind person that grinds.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
My gears ahead, let's hear it. Let's hear it.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
And women do this more than man. Like when I
get in the car, they won't ask me do you
want your bag in front of you? Or they grab
my bag and put it in the back seat. Now
I have like my tie and all I have my seat,
my inhalers, my cobD. I mean, I might need something
in that bag, but they don't, you know, they they
(16:21):
mean well, But and also when I'm walking, they'll grab
my key, the end of my cane. They'll try to
guide me by my cane.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Yeah, no, I understand that people have to People are
doing it. They think that they're doing the right thing.
But we've talked about this before that if you want
to try to help someone, if you see someone and
I'm not blind, so if I'm wrong, you tell me
the best way to do it is to approach the
person and quietly say to them, can I be of
(16:53):
any help?
Speaker 5 (16:54):
And that's right, you know.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
And if if the person, let's say, finds themselves at
a street corner, and there's a mailbox and and and
a street lamp, and they're trying to figure out which
way forward, and but they're they're their cane is you know,
they put themselves in a little bit of a box.
The person might say, yeah, I'd appreciate it. Uh, And
(17:17):
then you could do you mind if I take your on,
let me let me get you past this. It's it's
something we all should remember planning, insist so.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
And then sometimes I'm at the mailbox still try to
grab my mail out of my hand, and I'm like no, no, no, no,
you know, I'm like, no, I just show me. I mean,
I just I'm looking for the thing to put it in. Yep.
Because they changed them. He used to be able to
open them. Now I call them loto a mailboxes.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Well, the reason of that is that the people used
to take What was happening was they were taking the
two liter plastic empty uh you know, ginger ale or
or coke or Pepsi bottles, putting Elmer's glue on them, uh,
and then basically going fishing in the mailbox. And they
dropped that in and they'd pull out some letters and
(18:01):
if they found letters which had checks, that would.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
That would reason.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
What is that?
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Actually the reason that is exactly the reason.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
And what happened is they've come up with these chemicals
where they can wash your check. So let's say, for example,
Glenn wrote a check to his you know, to his
electric company for one hundred and ten dollars and twenty cents.
They can actually go in h and with this chemical
they can eradicate how much money, you know, you wrote
(18:32):
out one hundred, ten dollars and twenty cents, and then
they go into the box where it says how much
you wrote, you know, how much you're going to pay,
and then they can put in you know, and they
would eliminate that you were sending it to the national
grid or to ever source or whatever. So they would
put their own name on there. They put their own
name on John Smith, and it would be you know,
five twenty dollars. That's that's what's called check washing. And
(18:57):
the government was forced to get rid of those what
I would call them pulled down mailbox is the big
ones with the handle, and now they have these slots.
It's it's like trying to get a credit card in
some of the credit card machines at the grocery store.
You're trying to find where it is. And if you're blind,
it's you're trying to feel it with your hand. And
even when you're a sighted person, Glenn, it's tough to do. Glenn,
(19:20):
I gotta keep.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
I'm glad you told me that, because everybody tells me.
And had to do with Trump and Lewis to Joy
and again the Trump haters, you.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Know, no, that's exactly they used to take. They were
taking they figured at first though, there was some that
they've been sticking mailbox uh mail people, mail carriers, sticking
them up and taking the key which which opens the
bottom of the mailbox. But but as opposed to you know,
(19:51):
having to get facing an armed robbery charge, they would
go around at two o'clock in the morning. They would
coat these these big you know, the two leader bottles
of of whatever and their coded with Elmer's glue. Uh,
drop it in the mailbox, shake it around a little bit,
and then come out and they would go fishing.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
That's oh my god.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah. And so if they got if they got letters
that had you know, we're just like a birthday card
without any checks or or you know, a letter from someone.
They just throw that away. They didn't care about that.
They just wanted you know, if they pulled twenty twenty
letters out and they got five checks, they were they
were in business. That's it, trust me.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Oh god, what a wonderful you got it plan.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I gotta go man, talk to and have a great weekend. Okay,
thank you to one of my favorite callers. We'll be
right back on Night's I what grinds your gears? What
grinds your gears? We want to know? Give us a call. Rob.
You're gonna have to drop Glenn for me. Thanks very much.
I don't know why I was unable to one line
open six one, seven, two, five, four, ten thirty. We're
coming back. We're gonna move a little bit more quickly
(20:57):
in the final out, final half hour. We're thing to
Saturday morning, folks, hang on, coming back on Nightside. You're
on night Side with Dan Ray on w Beazy, Boston's
news radio.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
You know what really grinds Mike is this Lindsay low
hand Man, Lindsay Lowhand with all those little outfits jumping
around there on stage three two one, one, two three,
What the heck it's bothering me?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
What do you?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
What do you want, you know, are we gonna go out?
Is that what you're trying to? Why you what do
you want? Lindsay, tell me what you want? Well, I
tell you what you want? You want nothing? You want nothing.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Moreadity now, soredity now? What is that not to get
me a relaxation cassette? When my blood pressure gets too high?
Man on the tape tells me to say.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Sorenday now and that, people, is what grinds my gears?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Tom, what grinds your gears? That's Mike question for you.
Let's go next to Katy and Arlington. Katy, welcome back tonight, said, how.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Are you hi?
Speaker 7 (22:06):
Dan?
Speaker 12 (22:06):
Can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Okay, I can hear you? Just perfectly. One of the
best phone lines of the night. As a matter of fact,
you got a great.
Speaker 12 (22:14):
Absolutely, it's like a thousand dollars phone, and it grinds
my gears when things don't work.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
It's work.
Speaker 12 (22:24):
I'm in Arlington, so yeah, I just I wasn't gonna
call because I'm cleaning and I had a late dinner
and everything. But the top of my list is any
abuse of authority, just kind of general.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Well, yeah, when you give me the example, because when
you say that's abuse off, but not abuse by You're
saying abuse.
Speaker 12 (22:47):
Off right of authority by people in power like police
or politicians.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Oh I got it.
Speaker 12 (22:55):
Okay, fine, because my theory is diget high on power.
Did you hear about the ship that just sunk in Italy?
Speaker 1 (23:07):
What an amazing tragic story that was.
Speaker 12 (23:11):
I'm not what, but you know what? Isn't there a
how much money do you I'm not blaming anybody, and
I'm not God, but how much money do you need?
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Well?
Speaker 12 (23:24):
Daughter?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Oh my god? Well, you know the backstory was apparently
the guy but the guy that owned the ship, apparently
it was British, and the British Bill Gates. He trial
(23:46):
for fraud and he won, and so he had he
brought his lawyer and his lawyer's wife and his family.
And I've looked at this and and I I'm happy.
I'm not happy to tell you. But the ship sank
so quickly. There was hardly there were fifteen people who
(24:08):
actually got off the ship.
Speaker 12 (24:10):
They don't know that though, I mean the kind of
an air in the cabin.
Speaker 9 (24:14):
Sorry no, but.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
The theory now heard. The theory that I heard was
that there was this storm came up and it was
a sort of a water spout, almost like a little
mini tornado. And then someone had left one of the
doors open. There was a ship right next to it
which did not sink, and someone on that ship, I
(24:36):
think it was the first maid, said that they thought
they might have seen a door open. So if all
of a sudden you had water come in, you know,
the ship just went down like a rock. They didn't
have a chance.
Speaker 12 (24:48):
Was the only ship of this that was the tallest
mast in the world. Really, yeah, but it's not I'm
not judging anybody for being this rich, and I don't
know she was as rich as bezos, but like, stop
being a hypocrite. It's it's hypocritical for them to fly
(25:08):
around on jets and these big ships that pollute go
wherever they want, and they fly private jets, which if
I could have my own private jet today, I would
and I'm scared. And that's the fly But that's a
whole other issue. Planes are the biggest polluter. And Elon
Musk is all about space and all that stuff, but
(25:31):
you know what, this Earth is the only earth we have,
you know, And it's like, what.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
About John what about John Kerry who said that who
probably flies more private than anybody.
Speaker 12 (25:43):
I cannounderstand him. Was he there last night?
Speaker 1 (25:45):
No? No, no, no no he was not on the ship.
Speaker 9 (25:47):
No no, no, no Warren.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
No.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
I mean as a convention, I don't think so.
Speaker 12 (25:52):
I never saw at the convention. The convention then he
and Elizabeth Warren was bad enough because she's a hip
crid as well. I mean she's very wealthy.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Did you see did you see the Blobe story about
Elizabeth Warren that that her ancestors owned fourteen slaves.
Speaker 12 (26:10):
Yeah, yeah, the ones with the high cheekbones.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Right, but yeah, Hey, Katie, love your calls.

Speaker 5 (26:23):
Good?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
One to give you.
Speaker 12 (26:25):
Bacon Joe's delivery by Uber Eats in a half an hour.
It was amazing.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Is that? Is that a local restaurant in Arlington?
Speaker 12 (26:34):
It's a chain. It's in Waltham, Waltham.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Good for you, Good for you.
Speaker 12 (26:39):
But Uber Eats I can't say enough. They're a really
good company.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
All right.
Speaker 12 (26:43):
I'm a delivery vibe, not for fat X, not for
Uber Okay, have a great weekend.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Thanks, talk soon. Let me go to Linda in Quincy. Linda,
what grinds your gears?
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (26:58):
How are you?
Speaker 8 (26:59):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (27:00):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (27:00):
How you doing?
Speaker 1 (27:01):
I think I'm doing fine. We're getting to it.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Right right.
Speaker 8 (27:06):
Let's see for me. Well, there's a few things, but
I'm going to mention the fact that how about I
don't know if this ever happens to you, but when
you buy something like clothing, you walking on TJ Max,
you get a little you need a little six pack
of like socks for the summer, like a little champion,
a little small sock.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Yeah yeah, sure, the ankle I call them anklet socks, right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8 (27:30):
Something like that. Or it could be for a girl.
It could be a hat in the winter, one of
those little wool caps or something. You get it home
and there's probably three plastic things holding it, holding the
tag on, and it's just this, there's all these places
to try to cut to get get it without ripping
(27:52):
the sock, without cutting the sock. And I stand and
I go, what is this thing? Like ten thousand dollars
You've got to It's like you think it was a
leather jacket. Remember the days i'd chain them to.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
The oh yeah, yeah, the thing and you try and
try it on, you're dragon and you can't see yourself.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Yeah. What about when you when you buy something and
they forget to take the alarm, uh and you're walking
out the door and office, what's going on here? Yeah,
and all of embarrassed.
Speaker 8 (28:25):
Yeah, I've experienced that ages. But this business where I'm
whenever I'm like I said, when I'm getting something and
I'm trying to get the scissors and you don't want
to cut it. If if you don't cut it right,
you're gonna cut the whole thing open, and you're going
to ruin the thing you have. So I don't think
they need that many Why is on something that was
five bucks or six bucks or any anything? Really fact
(28:48):
that I ever heard that.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Mentioned before, But I had that feeling sometimes when all
of a sudden you have to You're trying to say, well,
how do I cut this thing off here? Either cutting
my finger off or slicing slicing the item in two?
Speaker 8 (29:02):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
I don't think anyone has ever brought that up, But
that is a legitimate grind your gears.
Speaker 8 (29:11):
It is, And I agree with the man about the representatives,
I call them low talkers or foreign I just can't
make it out, and they'll be saying something. I'll keep saying,
excuse me. I just keep excuse me. Yeah, to hear
what they ask.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
For in the future. If you if you say it's
like the magic word, I would like to speak with
an Onshore representative.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Oh really, yes, yes, I've done.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
That several times. And you know the person who answers
the phone. First of all, it's an open phone line.
You know that it's not in the US, and the
person hello, and you know right away that this is
somebody from with a different country, different dialect. I'm nothing
against them. I can't speak their language. Maybe they they're
trying their best, but it's like I don't want to
(29:59):
spend a half an hour or trying to spell words.
I just say, may I speak with an Onshore representative.
And I've had great success with that tactic.
Speaker 8 (30:07):
I'll try that with that. But it also happens even
if you're talking about doctor's office. Sometimes and the person
just starts talking real low and you can't I can't
make out, and they keep doing it.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
So what they do is a lot of times they're
on headsets. So I'm on a headset right now.
Speaker 8 (30:22):
Okay, okay, but so you could.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Hear me perfectly. But if I move the I'm unlike
one of those headsets that you see on the football
sideline of a game. But if I move the headset,
all of a sudd I'm gonna move the headset real quickly. Now,
now you don't hear me nearly start. So what happens
is they've been doing it and they move it, and
you know, and they say I can't hear you.
Speaker 8 (30:45):
Oh okay, and then I'm always like, excuse me, excuse me,
excuse you.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Got it. You gotta live the good two good ones.
Thank you so much. Thank you a great weekend. Okay,
yes you too, talk to you soon. We will be
right back going the night Side. We have only one
line open six one seven ninety three one ten thirty. No,
it's two. It's six one seven two five four to
ten thirty. My mistake rata in Latin, which means era
(31:11):
six one seven two five four ten thirty. That's the
only line that's opened back on night Side right after this.
Now back to Dan Ray Live from the Window World Nightside, studios.
I'm WBZ News Radio. We have pack lines every one,
so I'm going to try to get everyone in. Please
stay with me and try to be as quick as
you can. Joe and Lynn, Joe, what grinds your gears?
Speaker 13 (31:33):
Oh boy, You're gonna be shocked. But I want to
say I'm Glenn's official log clear and I know what
he goes through. We talk about it. He's got to
be a little more aggressive. But okay, here's it's going
to shock you. And I try that offshore thing. Sometimes
it works on shore, sometime it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Okay.
Speaker 13 (31:47):
One of the things that grinds my gears, I'm that
thing is to be mean. Is getting help with a
personal problem. And you know what it is, it's a restaurant.
I called lawyers, and I've called all around and I'm
getting nowhere. No one knows who can take this kind
of a case. It's very simple. I just wish that
you and some of the other people. You know, it
seems like to be a little more sympathetic because I
(32:09):
can't keep going to Peabody or Danvers. Like Glenn says
to me, you know, I'm right near a restaurant, but
you're he he can go to his but you know
he comes.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Joe, Here's what I'll do. Okay, if there's any lawyer
who wants to take on a disability law case and
they want to call me next week, uh, they can
call me at WBZ and I will pass on their
number to you. I've asked you. I suggested to you
that you call the Massachusetts Boss, which normally is very
(32:44):
good in terms of finding lawyers who will take a
case based upon the geography.
Speaker 13 (32:51):
But again, they put me on hold for two hours.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Well I can't believe that. I believe that what you
told me. But that seems to me to be ridiculous.
And I think you should call them back. And you
just say, look, please don't put me on hold.
Speaker 13 (33:05):
I'm getting a recording, Dan, no more human beings like
you were talking about earlier. The recording says call back later,
wait for call back. I hate these recordings. They should
get rid of them.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Joe as upset to you. You have time in your hands, okay,
time to take your case. Okay. I do not take
cases of callers to Night's side. But if there is
a lawyer out there who wants to deal with a
disability law case, out of Lynn in the in the
North Shore area. Call me during the week next week
(33:34):
and we will try to see if we can get
that person in touch with you. Fair enough.
Speaker 13 (33:40):
I wanted to thank you. I wanted to say, but
Glenn should just tell them let me take your arm
because they grab They've done that to me. I say, no,
leck o my bag please?
Speaker 1 (33:47):
All right? Fair enough, Joe. I got to keep rolling
here because they got pack lines and hopefully we sure
who deals with disability law cases. I can explain to
them when they call me. If I get them to you,
I will, I promise.
Speaker 13 (34:01):
Okay, thank you, by a great night.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Let's keep rolling here. I try to help as many
people as I can, but sometimes it's impossible. John Is
and Wayne M. John, what grinds your gears?
Speaker 5 (34:12):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Dan?
Speaker 7 (34:12):
First time calling a long time listener?
Speaker 5 (34:14):

digital studio audience, always amazing. What what gets people to
dial the phone? Go ahead? John? What what grinds your gears?
Speaker 7 (34:25):
It's when that doun't say this this phrase? I did
it on accident.
Speaker 13 (34:30):
It drives me insane.
Speaker 11 (34:31):
It sounds so unintelligent.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
As opposed to I did it by accident?
Speaker 7 (34:36):
You mean, yes, that one little change making a whole
world upworth Dan.
Speaker 1 (34:39):

of sniper pundits on talk radio who come up with
the broad spectrum of unsubstantiated allegations that grinds my gears.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
I hope I'm not in that category what I said.
I hope I'm not in that category.

But on some nights you're going to get us. Some
nights you're not. We you know, we we blow into

Speaker 1 (37:18):
Thank you Robert. We'll talk again. Thank you much. Have
a great one, Laurie and Idaho one of my favorite
callers on Friday night or anytime. Laurie, what grinds your gears?
Speaker 3 (37:28):
Well, it would have been different last month, but tonight.
Speaker 6 (37:30):
It's yellow jackets.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
Oh no, this is the first time this week I
haven't been stung by those little I have a pest
a guy who does extermination who has a whole chart
of like the black and yellow things, and it's a
humbling bee and the bumble bee, and this that and
the other be and then the.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
I'm not freaked out by many things, but snakes and
yellow jackets.
Speaker 3 (37:53):
Really freaking Oh well, and so this guy's charts. They're
a holes with wings and they this is the first
day I've not been stung this week, and I don't
have a ton of them around.
Speaker 12 (38:04):
Man, they land and they sting.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
They don't even think twice.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Now some of the I don't know if this is
the old wives tale, but sometimes they say once these
bees are yellow jackets sting you? That's that means they're
gonna die? Is that true?
Speaker 6 (38:20):
No?
Speaker 1 (38:21):
No, no.
Speaker 3 (38:22):
The yellow jackets are count from the like the Baldfley's hornet.
They don't have barbs in their stingers, so they don't die.
They can sting whenever they want.
Speaker 9 (38:32):
Wow, that's not fair that I'm super evil.
Speaker 1 (38:36):
All right? I got you down for yellow jackets, Laurie.
I got two more. I gotta get to. I agree
with you last night with your text that you sent me.
I totally agree with what you were saying. I had
the same sort of visceral reaction if you know what
I'm saying.

We're done for the week. It is the weekend is here.
All dogs, all cats, all pets go to heaven. That's
(40:21):
why Charlie Rays, who passed fourteen years ago in February,
that's where all your pets are who passed. They loved you.
When you love them, I do believe you'll see them
again see again on Monday night. Everyone coming up on
night side postgame On Nightside with Dan Ray on Facebook,
It's nice eyes unknell you easy Boston's news radio. Go ahead,
hit it, Rob Soredity, Now you know what really grinds
my gears?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
People in the nineteenth century, Why don't take that with
the freaking program. It's called an automobile, folks. It's much
faster than a horse three two one one two three.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
What the heck it's bothering me.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
This is a place of business.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
I told you now to come in here, Soriadity.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Now my years they grind might stay And I'm like, yeah,
that's the question for this twentieth hour. This is an
opportunity for to get it off your chest. What grinds
your gears? What event? And you can we can span
(00:57):
the spectrum here, okay, we can span the world as
they used to do on Wide World of Sports. I
have several things that grind my gears, okay, and I
would prefer to hear yours. Okay. You know that I'm
not a big bike layme guy, okay, And that's for me.
Something that just grinds my gears when I watch people,
(01:18):
and no matter where you're driving, whether you're driving in
the in the city and the suburbs in a more
rural area. Someone's out there on that bike and let
me tell you, they're the king and the Queen of
the road and if you make the mistake, you make
the mistake of getting too close to them. So yeah,
for me, that's always that. I have some other issues
(01:42):
that bother me. Okay, but that's what we're gonna do tonight.
We need to sit back and what I need people
to do is get it off your chest. Okay. A
week from tonight, which will be the final Friday night
of August, we will do for the sixth month in
a row. And it's going to be really interesting next
(02:02):
Friday night. Not that what grinds your gears is not
going to be interesting tonight, a week from tonight, at
this hour, in the twentieth hour of the weekend. For
those of you who aren't familiar with my program, we
do twenty hours a week. Some people think that's a
part time job. It's more than a full time job,
trust me, Okay, money do Friday eight to midnight. This
(02:22):
is our number twenty. That's why we call it the
twentieth hour. And we try we try to come up
with a different topic which can allow us to kind
of get into the weekend and we can put you know,
all of the politics aside. Democrat, Republican, Trump, Harris Biden
just kind of let that go, and so tonight it's
(02:45):
an opportunity. What is it in your everyday life? Or
maybe I don't know, maybe I'm not trying to tell
you to what grinds your gears? What just kind of
ticks you off? So that's what we're going to talk about.
The lines will be open right now. Six one, seven, two, five, four,
(03:06):
ten thirty six one seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty.
What grinds your gears? It's as simple as that. And
it can be a huge issue or it can be
a minor issue, but mostly it's something that you have
(03:28):
to see often. I mean the fact that someone cuts
you off today on Route nine or Root one that's
a one and done. That's a one and done. One
of the things that in terms of motor vehicle traffic
that grinds my gears. And I'd love to hear from
some of you in this one if you agree with me,
(03:48):
is you're you're sitting in the left hand lane and
you're going sixty five miles an hour, okay, and all
of a sudden someone comes up behind you with a truck.
There's someone in front of you who's going sixty five
miles an hour. There's someone in in front of them,
maybe going sixty five miles an hour, maybe going sixty
seven miles an hour, but this truck wants to go
eighty five miles an hour. And they either don't want
(04:09):
to pass you on the right or they just want
to ride your bumper, so you get over. I used
to really get upset about that. I'm not as upset
about it anymore. What I'd like to do, particularly if
there's somebody, I mean, if there's nobody in front of me,
I'll gladly get over. You want to blow by me, great,
I hope you meet mister state police officer. But if
there's someone like just you know, a little bit in
(04:31):
front of me, I pull over it because then the
knucklehead behind me has to deal with the person who
was in front of me. And I've watched these guys
and they they are intent. Even if they have the
opportunity to go into the middle lane and you know,
blow by people, they want to be able to force
you over. That's for them, that is the challenge, And
(04:54):
of course that's very dangerous because if they're riding on
your tail, literally on your and there are a lot
of people who were unaware of it. Ah, if they
happen to need to hit the brakes quickly. I mean,
you know, a small animal runs out of the woods.
We're talking about being when you're on on one twenty
(05:14):
Master Turnpike or whatever major roadway in your area. So
that's the topic of the night. What grinds your gears?
And there have been there have been things that that
that have bothered a variety of people, and we normally
get some pretty interesting reactions here. So let us start
it off with I hope Bill in Pennsylvania's calling and
what's grinding gears? Bill in Pennsylvania, welcome back? How are
(05:34):
you sir?
Speaker 5 (05:36):
Good?
Speaker 6 (05:36):
How you doing?
Speaker 7 (05:37):
Dan?
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Haven't you great? Normally you call on politics. What grinds
your gears?
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Well, grinds my gears? I I think as uh when
I when I'm making phone calls, like I'm calling especially the.
Speaker 8 (05:51):
A uh.
Speaker 6 (05:53):
Vehicle the vehicle people, okay, yeah, or insurance companies, much
doctor's office, but like, uh, the way the way the
phone system works down now, it used to be get
a live person and you could get your questions.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
You know what grind someone, they must Bill. You call
back and we'll get you back on. Okay, we did
not touch you off, Bill. Maybe that maybe those people
got you up. If you call back and we will
get you on Bill, that's for sure. The only line
that is open right now is six one, seven thirty.
(06:33):
So with a little bit of a false start between
the this Bill coming back. Okay, if he's ready, let's
put him right back on. Okay, Bill, I have no
idea what happened there, Go right ahead. We lost him.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
That that was something in the sky. Dan, Hey, yeah,
but no, it's it's like the phones.
Speaker 9 (06:51):
It used to be able to.
Speaker 6 (06:52):
You know, you'd call any organization or even the government
offices or whatever. Now they put you you got to
listen to this crazy new US, all right, And then
and then they keep and then every now and then
they'll say, well, if you want us to call you back,
leave your number. And then you know, two days later,
I think, damn, what didn't they call me back? And
then you know, and well what I love.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Too is that they'll they'll they'll come on and they'll
they'll tell you what whatever you know, they want to
tell you they'll pitch you or whatever to you know,
thank you very much for calling. Please listen to our
responses because it has recently changed. If you if you
(07:33):
want to talk to the sales department, press one. If
you if you want to talk to the transportation whatever.
So they go through about seven of these and one
of you saying, well, none of them really apply to
what I want. So you kind of guessing, and then
they put you on a thank you for calling. We
value your business. Please stay on the line and you listen.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
You can spend you can spend hours on there, Dan
and never never talk to a life.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
I'll tell you a trick, okay, which I have learned,
and this is this is the best trick. And I
am not I want to say right up front, I
am not in senaphobic. I like people from anywhere in
the world, but when I call with a problem, I
would prefer to talk with an American. Okay, it's because
I don't speak a second language. Okay.
Speaker 7 (08:22):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
And what you can do when you get someone and
you're calling whomever you're calling, you're calling, Yeah, I don't
know that they're even travel agents exist anymore. If you say,
but but you call, may I speak, May I speak
with an on shore representative?
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Oh, okay, on shore representative.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Yeah, I mean, do you remember the Saturday Night Live
gag which is probably politically incorrect. Back in the old days,
it was like there was one woman in India. She
was dressed fully, you know, in traditional Indian garb, and
you know she, you know, say, okay, pizza, the pizza
is on the way, to be there in fifteen minutes.
Then should hang up? The phone would hang up, and
(09:06):
they say, yes, we can, we can book you for
an oil change on Monday at three, okay. And it
was if she was the only person that was answering
the phone anywhere. Uh, you know, then everyone's wanted there
throwing yes, the escort should arrive no later than seven o'clock.
Speaker 6 (09:23):
And then it's it's it's what I think I was
just thinking about this today. It's it's systematic complacency. Okay,
you get, you get. I mean, it seems like no
matter where you go, people are just complacent about doing
their job.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
No, you know what it is in my opinion, and
I stand up and if people agree, feel free. You
have these venture capital companies, okay, who basically decide to
go in and they'll there's a whole bunch of well
known companies. They'll they'll rip a company apart. And what
they do is they try to consolidate. So instead of
(09:59):
each company having somebody answering their phones when you call
that company, you're dealing with some sort of a telephone
center in Wyoming. You know, for example, if you try
to call I don't know, do you do you get
a daily newspaper at your home or no?
Speaker 6 (10:17):
No, no, I know I don't get any newspaper anymore. Dan,
I skip around, Uh you know here and there on
the on the TV and uh, okay, well if you.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
If you if you actually now subscribe to a newspaper, uh,
and your newspaper is not delivered that morning. It used
to be here in Boston. That that that you that
the Boston Globe had their customer service people in Watertown, Massachusetts,
which is a suburb of Boston, and you could explain
to them, gee, I live on this street and uh
(10:47):
and I didn't get you know, I'm close to this
road or whatever. I didn't get my newspaper. Now you're
going to deal with someone in the Philippines, and all
they're doing is they're taking your information they're putting into
a computer. And of course instead of paying somebody in Watertown, Massachusetts,
fifteen or sixteen dollars an hour, they're paying someone in
the Philippines substantially.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
That well, that was, that was.
Speaker 6 (11:10):
That was one of my first jobs. I remember, I said,
in maybe uh sixth seventh grade and got the morning
morning paper out. I think I had like fifty two
papers to deliver. And I was telling somebody the other day,
I said, well, we go collect the money, you know,
we go to each house and we collect the money.
And then I said, me and another paper boy, we'd
(11:33):
put our tips together and go to the Golden Arches.
And I said, and I said, we can get seven
hamburgers for a buck.
Speaker 5 (11:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (11:41):
So one week one guy would eat four and the
other guy would eat three. Next next time, I was
swipping swift.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Flipping around. All right, man, I hate to do this
to your bill. I'm glad you called back, but I
got going to keep rolling. Continue to call God bless you.
YouTube coming right back nightside only line, Well, mine just failed.
What grinds your gears? That's all we need to do.
That's it. We're got full lines right now on a
happy camp. We'll be back on night Side as we
(12:09):
head toward Saturday morning. Now back to Dan ray Line
from the Window World, Night six Studios on w b
Z News Radio. All right, we're rolling, now, we've all
we're all set. Let's go to Robert and Stoughton. Robert
next on Nightside. What grind your gears?
Speaker 7 (12:25):
Robert, Well, Dan, it's well, we talk about the traffic.
You know, people with that patient when they're gonna get
the next light, you know, they cross you over and
then they stuff by the next time. But the real
thing that really that I think we've been talking about
it the country. We need to come to the point
(12:52):
that we all Americans the divide and we can't have
people that a billionaire gave me the system, like Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Right away. You want you want to unite us, but
I know that you don't like Donald real quickly. But
this is this is what grinds your gears. But I
want to ask your question, Robert, here's a question.
Speaker 10 (13:14):
One more thing you can't.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
I want you to answer my question, which is this,
what are you gonna do if Donald Trump is elected president?
Speaker 11 (13:24):
But he wont me elected?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
That that solls it? Robert I'm with you, Okay, Yeah,
now that's not gonna happen. So therefore everything's gonna be happy, right,
We're gonna be in change.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
The didn't listen to me.
Speaker 10 (13:38):
Then when that guy said there's a black job, the
la Latino job, Donald Trump don't want to be president.
You even say yourself, a guy who wants to be president,
you want to be president all the people. But when
you call him this is a black job, Latino job,
(13:58):
you know, and you know this kind of thing. That's
what I'm saying, that like grind the country.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Yeah, is I think what he was. I think and
again the last thing I want to do in the
twentieth hour. But I will say to you, I think
when he was trying to say, if you take it
in context, he was saying that when people were coming
across the border, they were not taking jobs as corporate
CEOs or CFOs, They weren't in what they call the
(14:27):
C suite. They were taking jobs of people who were
working blue collar jobs. Well, he was.
Speaker 7 (14:33):
Trying to make him up, but that's not that's not
Donald doer.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Okay, but it's good to know that he won't be elected.
Robert and I still would love to know if somehow
he's elected, are you gonna, you know, fall in line
and say we all got to be together? Now I
somehow think you won't.
Speaker 7 (14:51):
Well, he can't do it, then, don't you understand himself?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Okay, Robert, thank you very much for your keen political insight.
I do appreciate it at whatever you call. Thank you
so much. Let's go to Glenn and Brighton. This is
one of Glenn's favorite topics. Glenn I thought about you
today and he said, we'll do this one for Glenn.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
Go ahead, buddy, Well it's not one of my favorite tups.
That is my favorite tup.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Okay, clarification, well.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
I hate to how do I do this for that
last go is why I'm calling the people who hate Trump.
They won't answer any question if you say I do
this all the time, like what if he wins? Oh
you won't win. I'm like, no, no, just work with
me for a second.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Indulge indulge me.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they won't do it. I mean I
hate the unmitigated hatred. I mean, I know this hatred
on both sides, but my god, Well and then.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
So that's what grinds you. That's what grinds your gears tonight.
Speaker 5 (15:51):
Well that I've actually got a thing that has to
do with me as a blind person that grinds.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
My gears ahead, let's hear it. Let's hear it.
Speaker 5 (15:59):
And women do this more than man. Like when I
get in the car, they won't ask me do you
want your bag in front of you? Or they grab
my bag and put it in the back seat. Now
I have like my tie and all I have my seat,
my inhalers, my cobD. I mean, I might need something
in that bag, but they don't, you know, they they
(16:21):
mean well, But and also when I'm walking, they'll grab
my key, the end of my cane. They'll try to
guide me by my cane.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Yeah, no, I understand that people have to People are
doing it. They think that they're doing the right thing.
But we've talked about this before that if you want
to try to help someone, if you see someone and
I'm not blind, so if I'm wrong, you tell me
the best way to do it is to approach the
person and quietly say to them, can I be of
(16:53):
any help?
Speaker 5 (16:54):
And that's right, you know.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
And if if the person, let's say, finds themselves at
a street corner, and there's a mailbox and and and
a street lamp, and they're trying to figure out which
way forward, and but they're they're their cane is you know,
they put themselves in a little bit of a box.
The person might say, yeah, I'd appreciate it. Uh, And
(17:17):
then you could do you mind if I take your on,
let me let me get you past this. It's it's
something we all should remember planning, insist so.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
And then sometimes I'm at the mailbox still try to
grab my mail out of my hand, and I'm like no, no, no, no,
you know, I'm like, no, I just show me. I mean,
I just I'm looking for the thing to put it in. Yep.
Because they changed them. He used to be able to
open them. Now I call them loto a mailboxes.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
Well, the reason of that is that the people used
to take What was happening was they were taking the
two liter plastic empty uh you know, ginger ale or
or coke or Pepsi bottles, putting Elmer's glue on them, uh,
and then basically going fishing in the mailbox. And they
dropped that in and they'd pull out some letters and
(18:01):
if they found letters which had checks, that would.
Speaker 5 (18:06):
That would reason.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
What is that?
Speaker 5 (18:08):
Actually the reason that is exactly the reason.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
And what happened is they've come up with these chemicals
where they can wash your check. So let's say, for example,
Glenn wrote a check to his you know, to his
electric company for one hundred and ten dollars and twenty cents.
They can actually go in h and with this chemical
they can eradicate how much money, you know, you wrote
(18:32):
out one hundred, ten dollars and twenty cents, and then
they go into the box where it says how much
you wrote, you know, how much you're going to pay,
and then they can put in you know, and they
would eliminate that you were sending it to the national
grid or to ever source or whatever. So they would
put their own name on there. They put their own
name on John Smith, and it would be you know,
five twenty dollars. That's that's what's called check washing. And
(18:57):
the government was forced to get rid of those what
I would call them pulled down mailbox is the big
ones with the handle, and now they have these slots.
It's it's like trying to get a credit card in
some of the credit card machines at the grocery store.
You're trying to find where it is. And if you're blind,
it's you're trying to feel it with your hand. And
even when you're a sighted person, Glenn, it's tough to do. Glenn,
(19:20):
I gotta keep.
Speaker 5 (19:24):
I'm glad you told me that, because everybody tells me.
And had to do with Trump and Lewis to Joy
and again the Trump haters, you.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Know, no, that's exactly they used to take. They were
taking they figured at first though, there was some that
they've been sticking mailbox uh mail people, mail carriers, sticking
them up and taking the key which which opens the
bottom of the mailbox. But but as opposed to you know,
(19:51):
having to get facing an armed robbery charge, they would
go around at two o'clock in the morning. They would
coat these these big you know, the two leader bottles
of of whatever and their coded with Elmer's glue. Uh,
drop it in the mailbox, shake it around a little bit,
and then come out and they would go fishing.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
That's oh my god.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah. And so if they got if they got letters
that had you know, we're just like a birthday card
without any checks or or you know, a letter from someone.
They just throw that away. They didn't care about that.
They just wanted you know, if they pulled twenty twenty
letters out and they got five checks, they were they
were in business. That's it, trust me.
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Oh god, what a wonderful you got it plan.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I gotta go man, talk to and have a great weekend. Okay,
thank you to one of my favorite callers. We'll be
right back on Night's I what grinds your gears? What
grinds your gears? We want to know? Give us a call. Rob.
You're gonna have to drop Glenn for me. Thanks very much.
I don't know why I was unable to one line
open six one, seven, two, five, four, ten thirty. We're
coming back. We're gonna move a little bit more quickly
(20:57):
in the final out, final half hour. We're thing to
Saturday morning, folks, hang on, coming back on Nightside. You're
on night Side with Dan Ray on w Beazy, Boston's
news radio.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
You know what really grinds Mike is this Lindsay low
hand Man, Lindsay Lowhand with all those little outfits jumping
around there on stage three two one, one, two three,
What the heck it's bothering me?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
What do you?
Speaker 2 (21:32):
What do you want, you know, are we gonna go out?
Is that what you're trying to? Why you what do
you want? Lindsay, tell me what you want? Well, I
tell you what you want? You want nothing? You want nothing.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Moreadity now, soredity now? What is that not to get
me a relaxation cassette? When my blood pressure gets too high?
Man on the tape tells me to say.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Sorenday now and that, people, is what grinds my gears?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Tom, what grinds your gears? That's Mike question for you.
Let's go next to Katy and Arlington. Katy, welcome back tonight, said, how.
Speaker 5 (22:04):
Are you hi?
Speaker 7 (22:06):
Dan?
Speaker 12 (22:06):
Can you hear me?
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Okay, I can hear you? Just perfectly. One of the
best phone lines of the night. As a matter of fact,
you got a great.
Speaker 12 (22:14):
Absolutely, it's like a thousand dollars phone, and it grinds
my gears when things don't work.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
It's work.
Speaker 12 (22:24):
I'm in Arlington, so yeah, I just I wasn't gonna
call because I'm cleaning and I had a late dinner
and everything. But the top of my list is any
abuse of authority, just kind of general.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Well, yeah, when you give me the example, because when
you say that's abuse off, but not abuse by You're
saying abuse.
Speaker 12 (22:47):
Off right of authority by people in power like police
or politicians.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Oh I got it.
Speaker 12 (22:55):
Okay, fine, because my theory is diget high on power.
Did you hear about the ship that just sunk in Italy?
Speaker 1 (23:07):
What an amazing tragic story that was.
Speaker 12 (23:11):
I'm not what, but you know what? Isn't there a
how much money do you I'm not blaming anybody, and
I'm not God, but how much money do you need?
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Well?
Speaker 12 (23:24):
Daughter?
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Oh my god? Well, you know the backstory was apparently
the guy but the guy that owned the ship, apparently
it was British, and the British Bill Gates. He trial
(23:46):
for fraud and he won, and so he had he
brought his lawyer and his lawyer's wife and his family.
And I've looked at this and and I I'm happy.
I'm not happy to tell you. But the ship sank
so quickly. There was hardly there were fifteen people who
(24:08):
actually got off the ship.
Speaker 12 (24:10):
They don't know that though, I mean the kind of
an air in the cabin.
Speaker 9 (24:14):
Sorry no, but.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
The theory now heard. The theory that I heard was
that there was this storm came up and it was
a sort of a water spout, almost like a little
mini tornado. And then someone had left one of the
doors open. There was a ship right next to it
which did not sink, and someone on that ship, I
(24:36):
think it was the first maid, said that they thought
they might have seen a door open. So if all
of a sudden you had water come in, you know,
the ship just went down like a rock. They didn't
have a chance.
Speaker 12 (24:48):
Was the only ship of this that was the tallest
mast in the world. Really, yeah, but it's not I'm
not judging anybody for being this rich, and I don't
know she was as rich as bezos, but like, stop
being a hypocrite. It's it's hypocritical for them to fly
(25:08):
around on jets and these big ships that pollute go
wherever they want, and they fly private jets, which if
I could have my own private jet today, I would
and I'm scared. And that's the fly But that's a
whole other issue. Planes are the biggest polluter. And Elon
Musk is all about space and all that stuff, but
(25:31):
you know what, this Earth is the only earth we have,
you know, And it's like, what.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
About John what about John Kerry who said that who
probably flies more private than anybody.
Speaker 12 (25:43):
I cannounderstand him. Was he there last night?
Speaker 1 (25:45):
No? No, no, no no he was not on the ship.
Speaker 9 (25:47):
No no, no, no Warren.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
No.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
I mean as a convention, I don't think so.
Speaker 12 (25:52):
I never saw at the convention. The convention then he
and Elizabeth Warren was bad enough because she's a hip
crid as well. I mean she's very wealthy.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
Did you see did you see the Blobe story about
Elizabeth Warren that that her ancestors owned fourteen slaves.
Speaker 12 (26:10):
Yeah, yeah, the ones with the high cheekbones.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Right, but yeah, Hey, Katie, love your calls.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
We got to go.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
We will talk soon. You have a great weekend. Where'd
you go to dinner tonight? How where'd you go to dinner? Anywhere?
Speaker 5 (26:23):
Good?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
One to give you.
Speaker 12 (26:25):
Bacon Joe's delivery by Uber Eats in a half an hour.
It was amazing.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Is that? Is that a local restaurant in Arlington?
Speaker 12 (26:34):
It's a chain. It's in Waltham, Waltham.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Good for you, Good for you.
Speaker 12 (26:39):
But Uber Eats I can't say enough. They're a really
good company.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
All right.
Speaker 12 (26:43):
I'm a delivery vibe, not for fat X, not for
Uber Okay, have a great weekend.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Thanks, talk soon. Let me go to Linda in Quincy. Linda,
what grinds your gears?
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Hi?
Speaker 1 (26:58):
How are you?
Speaker 8 (26:59):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (27:00):
Okay?
Speaker 8 (27:00):
How you doing?
Speaker 1 (27:01):
I think I'm doing fine. We're getting to it.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
Right right.
Speaker 8 (27:06):
Let's see for me. Well, there's a few things, but
I'm going to mention the fact that how about I
don't know if this ever happens to you, but when
you buy something like clothing, you walking on TJ Max,
you get a little you need a little six pack
of like socks for the summer, like a little champion,
a little small sock.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Yeah yeah, sure, the ankle I call them anklet socks, right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8 (27:30):
Something like that. Or it could be for a girl.
It could be a hat in the winter, one of
those little wool caps or something. You get it home
and there's probably three plastic things holding it, holding the
tag on, and it's just this, there's all these places
to try to cut to get get it without ripping
(27:52):
the sock, without cutting the sock. And I stand and
I go, what is this thing? Like ten thousand dollars
You've got to It's like you think it was a
leather jacket. Remember the days i'd chain them to.
Speaker 6 (28:05):
The oh yeah, yeah, the thing and you try and
try it on, you're dragon and you can't see yourself.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Yeah. What about when you when you buy something and
they forget to take the alarm, uh and you're walking
out the door and office, what's going on here? Yeah,
and all of embarrassed.
Speaker 8 (28:25):
Yeah, I've experienced that ages. But this business where I'm
whenever I'm like I said, when I'm getting something and
I'm trying to get the scissors and you don't want
to cut it. If if you don't cut it right,
you're gonna cut the whole thing open, and you're going
to ruin the thing you have. So I don't think
they need that many Why is on something that was
five bucks or six bucks or any anything? Really fact
(28:48):
that I ever heard that.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Mentioned before, But I had that feeling sometimes when all
of a sudden you have to You're trying to say, well,
how do I cut this thing off here? Either cutting
my finger off or slicing slicing the item in two?
Speaker 8 (29:02):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
I don't think anyone has ever brought that up, But
that is a legitimate grind your gears.
Speaker 8 (29:11):
It is, And I agree with the man about the representatives,
I call them low talkers or foreign I just can't
make it out, and they'll be saying something. I'll keep saying,
excuse me. I just keep excuse me. Yeah, to hear
what they ask.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
For in the future. If you if you say it's
like the magic word, I would like to speak with
an Onshore representative.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Oh really, yes, yes, I've done.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
That several times. And you know the person who answers
the phone. First of all, it's an open phone line.
You know that it's not in the US, and the
person hello, and you know right away that this is
somebody from with a different country, different dialect. I'm nothing
against them. I can't speak their language. Maybe they they're
trying their best, but it's like I don't want to
(29:59):
spend a half an hour or trying to spell words.
I just say, may I speak with an Onshore representative.
And I've had great success with that tactic.
Speaker 8 (30:07):
I'll try that with that. But it also happens even
if you're talking about doctor's office. Sometimes and the person
just starts talking real low and you can't I can't
make out, and they keep doing it.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
So what they do is a lot of times they're
on headsets. So I'm on a headset right now.
Speaker 8 (30:22):
Okay, okay, but so you could.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
Hear me perfectly. But if I move the I'm unlike
one of those headsets that you see on the football
sideline of a game. But if I move the headset,
all of a sudd I'm gonna move the headset real quickly. Now,
now you don't hear me nearly start. So what happens
is they've been doing it and they move it, and
you know, and they say I can't hear you.
Speaker 8 (30:45):
Oh okay, and then I'm always like, excuse me, excuse me,
excuse you.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Got it. You gotta live the good two good ones.
Thank you so much. Thank you a great weekend. Okay,
yes you too, talk to you soon. We will be
right back going the night Side. We have only one
line open six one seven ninety three one ten thirty. No,
it's two. It's six one seven two five four to
ten thirty. My mistake rata in Latin, which means era
(31:11):
six one seven two five four ten thirty. That's the
only line that's opened back on night Side right after this.
Now back to Dan Ray Live from the Window World Nightside, studios.
I'm WBZ News Radio. We have pack lines every one,

Speaker 13 (31:33):
Oh boy, You're gonna be shocked. But I want to
say I'm Glenn's official log clear and I know what
he goes through. We talk about it. He's got to
be a little more aggressive. But okay, here's it's going
to shock you. And I try that offshore thing. Sometimes
it works on shore, sometime it doesn't.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Okay.
Speaker 13 (31:47):
One of the things that grinds my gears, I'm that
thing is to be mean. Is getting help with a
personal problem. And you know what it is, it's a restaurant.
I called lawyers, and I've called all around and I'm
getting nowhere. No one knows who can take this kind
of a case. It's very simple. I just wish that
you and some of the other people. You know, it
seems like to be a little more sympathetic because I
(32:09):
can't keep going to Peabody or Danvers. Like Glenn says
to me, you know, I'm right near a restaurant, but
you're he he can go to his but you know
he comes.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
Joe, Here's what I'll do. Okay, if there's any lawyer
who wants to take on a disability law case and
they want to call me next week, uh, they can
call me at WBZ and I will pass on their
number to you. I've asked you. I suggested to you
that you call the Massachusetts Boss, which normally is very
(32:44):
good in terms of finding lawyers who will take a
case based upon the geography.
Speaker 13 (32:51):
But again, they put me on hold for two hours.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
Well I can't believe that. I believe that what you
told me. But that seems to me to be ridiculous.
And I think you should call them back. And you
just say, look, please don't put me on hold.
Speaker 13 (33:05):
I'm getting a recording, Dan, no more human beings like
you were talking about earlier. The recording says call back later,
wait for call back. I hate these recordings. They should
get rid of them.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
Joe as upset to you. You have time in your hands, okay,
time to take your case. Okay. I do not take
cases of callers to Night's side. But if there is
a lawyer out there who wants to deal with a
disability law case, out of Lynn in the in the
North Shore area. Call me during the week next week
(33:34):
and we will try to see if we can get
that person in touch with you. Fair enough.
Speaker 13 (33:40):
I wanted to thank you. I wanted to say, but
Glenn should just tell them let me take your arm
because they grab They've done that to me. I say, no,
leck o my bag please?
Speaker 1 (33:47):
All right? Fair enough, Joe. I got to keep rolling
here because they got pack lines and hopefully we sure
who deals with disability law cases. I can explain to
them when they call me. If I get them to you,
I will, I promise.
Speaker 13 (34:01):
Okay, thank you, by a great night.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Let's keep rolling here. I try to help as many
people as I can, but sometimes it's impossible. John Is
and Wayne M. John, what grinds your gears?
Speaker 5 (34:12):
You know what?
Speaker 1 (34:12):

digital studio audience, always amazing. What what gets people to
dial the phone? Go ahead? John? What what grinds your gears?
Speaker 7 (34:25):
It's when that doun't say this this phrase? I did
it on accident.
Speaker 13 (34:30):
It drives me insane.
Speaker 11 (34:31):
It sounds so unintelligent.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
As opposed to I did it by accident?
Speaker 7 (34:36):

world upworth Dan.
