hour with two good friends of mine, two good attorneys,
Bill Kickham and Robert George about the next chapter in
(04:23):
the Karen Reid case, an appeal that her lawyers are
taking to the court over whether or not lawyers, whether
or not the jurors in this case actually came to
a decision in the jury room. Also, I want to
mention that Bill Kickham has reminded me not only is
he in west is he in Westwood, but Bob George
(04:44):
has offices now in Hyenas in Boston. So which brings
us to the favorite hour of for me, breshes with celebrity?
Who have you met? Who treated you well? One of
the things I think I mentioned before that my daughter
met a celebrity who will remain anonymous, as I told
(05:07):
the story a couple of times, so I don't want
to pile on here, but a celebrity who was not
particularly pleasant, and somebody who you would think would have
been pleasant because he was a member of the Monty
Python group. But so, who have you met and how
did they treat you? And you're going to determine if
who the celebrity is okay for you. The celebrity might
(05:30):
be Frank Sinatra or maybe Lady Gaga, I don't know.
It's possible Taylor Swift, I don't know. Or it may
be a professional athlete or an actor or an author,
or it might be someone who you view as a
celebrity who might just know Whoever you think, we're going
to go right to the phones, and I'm going to
(05:51):
start it off tonight with Neil in Watertown. Neil, welcome
to Nightside. How are you?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Thank you?
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Jim.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
I work in a college bookstore in the textbook department,
and a young man and two women came in, and
the young man asked me, do you have the Associated
Press style Book? I said, oh, I think so. It's
over here in the English department. And then I said,
I just want to make sure because we have the
other style books, and is this the book that your
(06:19):
professor wants you to use? And then the one woman said, oh,
we're part of a project and between the university and
the Boston Globe. She said, I'm a photographer. And I said, oh, well,
what's your name? And she said, Jessica Ronald and oh
I read. I read the what they call the cup
Line and the Globe and the New York Times. So
(06:43):
I read the Globe and the New York Times and
the Herald. Those are my basically, and so I said oh.
And I said, but I was trying to think of
other photographers and I couldn't think of them. And I went, oh,
very turning, she says yes, and I said, and I
stammered at and I said, Pat Greenhouse and she said yes,
And then I couldn't think of anymore. So they told
(07:04):
me about the project between the Globe and the universe
of right, right, I thought about celebrity.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
There's got to be a celebrity in here.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Oh well, I would define her as a celebrity because
I'm just an average person. I know who she is.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
And okay, so Jessica photographer.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Right.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
But so they told about the project, and then the
reason this is memorable to me personally, he said, uh
so she's she said okay, goodbye, thank you very much,
and she's walking across the floor and up the stairs.
I'm about to go out the last second. Ago Anna
Moneymaker and she says, oh yes. And I don't know
why I thought of me any Anna money Maker, except
(07:47):
because she's a photographer either for the New York Times
for the Associated Press. And she said, oh yeah. So
I the thought that that's what it was meaningful to
me was a fellowship of photographers.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
That's okay, that's a good one. And they treated you well, Neil,
thank you very much, appreciate it very much for your call.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Talk about it.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Let me keep rolling here and I'm going to go
to Sandy in West Roxbury. Sandy, how are you?
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Oh, I'm very well. Thank you. I wanted to thank
you also for having that the nine o'clock hour. It
broke my heart, but thank you. I have something a
little bit unusual. But I was going through you know,
I work in the archives for the West Rocky Historical Society,
and I was going through the a petition that was
(08:35):
signed in nineteen eighty five, it doesn't matter what it
was for. And it came across the name Bobby or Sure,
and I said, oh my goodness, could it be? Could
it be? You know, did he sign this petition? So
he it said Bobby or to make a plane. So
I don't know much about sports. I didn't know, you know,
(08:56):
how old he would have been. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I don't think Bobby lived in Jamaica. Plane.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
He lived downtown, and yeah, I thought, you know he might.
Some people said they thought he was in Canada, but
I thought, well, maybe he has another in Boston.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
And then he's been living in Florida. Also is a
place down the cape.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
Well anyway, I after talking to a few people and
not figuring it out, I googled Bobby Or to make
a plane, And it turns out I thought, this is
just so funny. There's a Bobby Orr who listened to
make a plane and it said meet Bobby Orr. But
it was m E.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
A T.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
He is exactly about the same age, and but he works,
has all his likes all his working life, works in
the stop and chop at the meat counter, and to
stop and dropping to make a plane. And you know,
he got so much ribbing, and people would say, oh,
you know the customers then oh, you want to meet
(09:55):
Bobby Or? You wantn't get up to or I wanted
to meet Bobby Or. And then they take him over
and introduce him to this other guy. But his whole life,
you know, it was just sort of like a double
ganger that was hanging over that maybe.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
A double gang or a name, but not necessarily Okay.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
I know, I just thought that was so funny when
it came across the name Bobby Or.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Oh, by the way, if you ever have a chance
to meet Bobby Or, he's one of the great class
acts in this city.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
I know, I've heard you say that many times.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Absolutely great guy, a great guy. I know him very well.
He's a he's the greatest hockey player in the history
of the NHL, but I think he's a better person
than he was just a hockey player. Let me put
it like that.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
Okay, so nice that you could say that, Sandy, Thanks
so much.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I appreciate the call. And by the way, for anyone
that's interested, we have on the eleven on the eleven
o'clock hour on any Friday night on the twentieth hour,
everybody gets a hall pass, so even if you're called
in during the week, you can still participate in brushes
with celebrity.
Speaker 7 (10:57):
Okay, thanks, Andy talks, so thank you.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Take bye bye six one thirty six one seven, nine

Nightside right after this, Now.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Back to Dan ray Line from the Window World. Night
Side Studios on WBZ News.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Radio bring one of my favorite end of the week
hours in the twentieth hour. For those of you who
don't understand the twentieth hour, I do twenty hours of
radio a week Monday through Friday, eight to midnight. Four
hours times five nights, that's twenty hours and this is
the last hour of the week. Let's go to my
friend Bill Winnaker. I suspect he's meant a lot of celebrities.
Bill Winnaker. UM, bring Bill Winnaker up for me this
(11:44):
this mouse has died.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Good, go ahead, right, Damn, I'm here, Dan, I know well.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
You're there, that's for sure. I gotta I got a
faulty mouse here, and then we'll figured it out. Okay,
thanks Bill.
Speaker 8 (11:57):
All right, I want to preface this, uh lebrity for
a second. I just want to say that sometimes at
the end of the night you'll say that you weren't
happy with the show. But I've never heard any of
your shows that weren't spectacular.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
They're a very kind, very kind.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
I know that they're all great.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Well. I know that when the Winnakers play music in Boston,
they're they're always great shows, so I can return the compliment.
But I don't know if you ever have a knife
when you when you feel well, maybe I could have
done this song a little bit better, that song a
little bit better.
Speaker 8 (12:29):
I think, yeah, absolutely both perfections.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
But thank you you're so gracious to make that comment.
You're a great friend, and.
Speaker 8 (12:41):
I get so much. I learn a lot from listening
to your show, and it's it's the best show in town,
probably the best talk show in the country.
Speaker 9 (12:51):
But we'll leave it.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
But that is high praise coming from you. But and
I mean that seriously. I know you know the Winnick
is very well. You guys have been friends for more
than forty years, and I know you're so loyal to
this program, and you know I'm loyal to you guys.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
And it's oh, we're all big fans of yours. But
i'll tell you what happened. We'll go to celebrity now.
In nineteen eighty three, I got a hug, a really
nice hug from Jackie Kennedy.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Really yeah, wow.
Speaker 8 (13:28):
But i'll give you the backstory of it.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (13:31):
So Peter Lawford married Patricia Kennedy and their daughter, Sidney Lawford,
married Peter McKelvey and we got called to do this wedding.
It was on the Kennedy compound. Yeah, and I knew.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I knew Sydney from when I was living in the
back base. A lovely woman, very very pretty.
Speaker 8 (13:55):
Yes, great, she's wonderful. And she married a wonderful guy,
Peter mc kelvey. So we got to call in the
In the in the eighties, my father would be out
on Saturday nights with his band, and Bo would be
out with his band, and I'd be out with The
demand was high because we'd been playing at the Parker
House for a long time, so I got the assignment.
(14:18):
So I went to the Kennedy compound with an eight
piece span and I had no interaction with Jackie at
all all night long. I was I was looking at
her to her date that night was Oldig Cassini, the
dress designer. And I mean, this was quite a night.
I had a guitar player go out in the audience
(14:39):
with his guitar and sing sweet Rosio Grady to Rose,
Oh my God. But when the night was over, it
was a spectacular evening. When the night was over, I
see Jackie walking towards us. We're on a stage with
an eight piece span. She climbs right up onto the
stage and she comes up to me and I stood
(15:00):
up and she gave me a big hug. She said
the music was spectacular, and then she went down the
line and gave everyone a really great handshaken. So I'll
never forget that hug.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I'll tell you that. I'll tell you this is going
to be a tough celebrity because not only was she
a a celebrity, but she wasn't somebody who was readily accessible.
You know what I'm saying there.
Speaker 8 (15:26):
I know that, you know, so it blew me away.
But she was so warm and sincere about it. But
we really delivered the goods that night, and she was
very appreciative.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
And I saw her, never met her, but I saw
her a couple of times at a restaurant on Marthy's Vineyard.
She had a big piece of property out of what
was called Gayhead, which is now called a Quinna at
the far end of Martha's Vineyard, and there was a
restaurant up by the lighthouse. It wasn't the most elegant
(16:00):
restaurant in the world, if the truth be known. It
was kind of a touristy type restaurant. And every once
in a while she would be sitting over off in
the corner. You know, no one would bother. Oftentimes she'd
be sitting there with a pair of dark glasses and
a scarf overhead. But you know, if you knew who
she was, you knew who she was and people were
very very respectful. Bill, that's a fabulous That's one that
(16:24):
that's going to be tough to beat. Tonight.
Speaker 8 (16:25):
I gotta tell you, that's a story I've never told
on the era, to really tell that story, but I'll
never forget it. It was really special, unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
You brought the goods tonight, mister Winnaker, as you guys
do always do. Thank you, my friend. We'll talk again.
Have a great weekend. How many different venues are you
guys hitting this weekend? Where can people go and hear
the Winnick is next play?
Speaker 8 (16:50):
Oh, it's all private parties this weekend, but we had
a couple of public things during the week. I will
tell everybody that we play once a month and West
will at a restaurant called Naroli, And you can just
go to the website for restaurant and find out all
about it.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Just just spell that so people can get there. Because
you have a lot of fans on this on this
this show.
Speaker 8 (17:13):
This show is it's n E R O l I.
And they have have this once a month for a
Thursday night, just two hours of music and dinner. It's
so it's like a party. It's really fun.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Absolutely, And you said in Westwood, right.
Speaker 8 (17:33):
In Westwood, it's a great restaurant.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Great, all right, when I get back closer to the back,
closer to Boston, I'm going to hit that one night
with you. Maybe I'll let a few of our friends
here know then and we'll make a little get a
little group of group together there.
Speaker 8 (17:50):
But that's a you can't wait a minute, No, it's
a it's a Thursday night.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
That's tough.
Speaker 8 (17:57):
You know what, you know what we can do for you.
We can pick one Sunday and do a brunch out there.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
We'll talk about it, We'll talk about it privately. Okay, yeah, thanks,
thanks so much. Let me go next to Dawn. Uh,
Dawn enlighten us.
Speaker 10 (18:16):
How are you, don I'm good, Dan, how are you?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I'm doing just great? Thanks for calling in down from
Stain Go.
Speaker 11 (18:22):
Ahead, thank you.
Speaker 10 (18:24):
I personally have met John Densmore from the Doors the
Drummer at a little bookstore in Boston. But yeah, that
was pretty big for me. But I'm going to tell
you a funny story. Years ago, I took my daughter
and some of my friends to a little dive in
(18:45):
Framingham called the Chicken Bone.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I know the Chicken Bone. Yeah, the Chicken Ball. I
don't think the Chicken Bone's in business any any longer.
It was right there. It was on Route sixteen, was
it nuts, Yeah, not too far on the other side
of the tracks from the railroad station. I know exactly
how it was. I had a friend of mine who
worked there. Actually, Oh, who'd you see there?
Speaker 10 (19:11):
Well, Peter Talk from the Monkeys had formed a blues
band and he was playing at the Chicken Bone, and
my youngest daughter had a major crush on him. So
I said, well, let's go. I mean she was I
think thirteen fourteen at the time. And we go in
there and we got our seat and we're waiting, and
(19:33):
then I go, oh, I forgot the album out in
the car for him to sign a Monkey's album. So
I go out to the car, I come back in
and I go, oh, great, who's sitting in my seat now?
It was Peter Talk talking to my daughter and she's
in tears because she's so starstruck. He was the nicest
(19:55):
person you could ever meet. He signed the album, he
gave her a T shirt, he gave for a hug.
I thought she was going to pass out, but he
just was great.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Unbelievable that that is such a great story. That is
totally unbelievable. Oh man. Now, the monkeys, of course were
really big in the sixties. I mean that was that
was when they were they were rolling rolling it in right, yes,
so this must have been a little after the height
(20:28):
of their career.
Speaker 10 (20:29):
I'm guessing, oh, long after Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
What year approximately.
Speaker 10 (20:35):
That I was there?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, yeah, oh was there.
Speaker 10 (20:39):
Let's see, at least fifteen years ago maybe.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Okay, so so this was in this century. So so
they have still been doing this. I hear who's the
guy that It's not Peter Tork, Who's who's the most
there's another one of the monkeys who I hear all
the time and you hear him on.
Speaker 10 (21:02):
Radio, Nicky Dolans.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
No, no, maybe it was Peter Talk. Maybe it is
Peter Talk. No, no, I don't think so, Rober said
Davy Jones.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Oh, and Mike Ness, it must be Peter Talk. It
must be Peter Talk. Then I think he does. He's
kind of the lead guy in the group, right, No,
I think.
Speaker 10 (21:26):
It was kind of Davy Jones was kind of Okay, well,
but then Peter Talk has passed away.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Okay, well then I'm not here in them. It's a
good tell. If he was a middle infielder for you know,
the Saint Louis Cardinals in the nineteen fifties, I would
know him. But that's great. But the Chicken Bone, I
haven't thought about the Chicken Bone in a long time.
It was a great, great place. It was a great place.
Speaker 10 (21:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I grew up in Framingham, so it was sure born
for many years.
Speaker 10 (21:56):
Beautiful place from eighty six.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
To two thousand and six. And I hit a lot
of restaurants, Marconi's and oh yeah, yeah, that was a great,
great Italian restaurant. Thanks so much, down, I appreciate you.
Have you called the show.
Speaker 10 (22:11):
Before, Yes, many time.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Well come on keep calling, will you?
Speaker 10 (22:14):
Thank you so much?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Thanks, Donha have a great night. Okay, thanks, good night.
We're taking a quick break. Six one seven, two five,
four to ten thirty, triple eight nine ten thirty and
six one seven nine thirty. That's the only line open
right now. We're going next to my good friend Hank
in New Jersey. Hank, hold on, man, I want to
(22:36):
talk to you. We're coming back on night Side.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
You're on night Side with Dan Ray on WZ Boston's
news radio.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
All right, back to the phones here, let me go
to we got we got Hank in New Jersey. Hank, welcome,
my friend. How are you?
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Thank you for taking a call. Dad. Everything's good.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I left you a voice mail the other day. I
hope you got it. I didn't want to bug you out.
Check in with you over the weekend.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Okay, yeah, okay, fine, I did't get the voice boil,
by the way, you didn't. I have two one good,
one bad?
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
One because I met Ronald Reagan while he was governor
of the California and before he announced his word for
the president.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Yeah, he was governor of California for two terms. I
can help you out, and he was elected in sixty six,
so he served from sixty seven to January of seventy five.
He was real life.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
So I met him nineteen seventy five in that area.
We're at a New York City Conservative party dinner. I
went up to him and he I said, mister President,
which you boy? Sided the brochure for the and he
(24:01):
signed it. He danked me, and I danked him, and
I wished him well on his presidency. Very very pleasant
old guy on the other hand, many years later at
a baseball card show, I met Mickey Mantel, Duke Sneider,
and Willie Mays.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Three pretty good New York baseball.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
Players, absolutely, but what a disappointment. Mantel was terrific. Duke
Sneider actually had my father sit down with him, but
he was signed in autographs and the turor would often
had to smoke together, and they were. But when I
went over to Willie Mays, I used to think about
(24:47):
little roses. I gave one to him and then a
very obnoxious toad. He says, don't touch me, and I said,
I apologize anything buy it's I'm here to side to autographs.
That's all I find out. As we were a dealer
(25:13):
I was talking to admitted the dealers. We were at
the Trump Plaza at that time, and he was a
little bit down to talk to people nicely. I've come
out with this. Vicky Bahner was twenty five dollars for
a signature, Duke Sneider was ted, and Mays was fifteen.
(25:38):
And maybe he's a little po that he didn't get
the top billied.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Maybe. Yeah, he had a pretty good reputation to be
really honest with you, I'm disappointed to hear that there
are other people who you would say, maybe so, but
you might have caught him on a bad day.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
Hank, you never know. I, like I said, I only
time I met him, But uh, three years, I've talked
to a lot of people and they said he was
the same way. Yet I've heard, but especially after he
passed on, how many people sports talk shows said how
good he was. Well, another guy, a guy in fact,
(26:19):
who has another talk show just before you in New York,
Bett Willie McCovey. Willie Mays as a kid asked for
the signature. McCovey gave the kid the signature. I mean
he's a man now, obviously, but he went to May's
mass to get I'm not here, don't bother me. I'm
(26:41):
here to play baseball, not give out signatures. I know
that you have to do it bad days in his life.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
You never know.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Thank you for taking a call.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
You sound great. You sound like your own self. Do
you sound great. I'll give you a call tomorrow. Okay, Thanks,
thanks very much. Hank is a great friend and a
listener down in New Jersey and just a great guy.
Let's keep rolling here. There's one line open at six
one Hank spot has already been filled. Let me go
to my friend Dennis in Lowell. Dennis, you are next
(27:15):
on nightside.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
Welcome, Well, good evening, Dan. And of course I've got
to do a sports celebrity all Corse.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Yeah, I mean you're a sports guy. Come on.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
Yeah. Well, actually, Casey Jones used to live in andover
Son Kipper used to play in the Merrimack Valley League,
and I coached basketball at Low High for twenty thirty years.
I used to do with summer camps up at Norwich University,
so for like a decade, and I got to meet
Larry Bird, McHale, Paris, Dennis Johnson, Danny Ainge. I've got
(27:48):
to be pretty good friends with Jerry Shesting because he'd
do the whole week at the camp. Bill. The only
thing with Bill Walton is I couldn't do a high
five with Bill Walton. He was just a little too tall.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
But well you got you got to meet the entire
team with the big eighties.
Speaker 7 (28:06):
You know, oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah. Would you believe
I even had a basketball player played for a little High,
became captain of Texas Christian University, Tracy Mitchell is his
name is one of the last cuts in nineteen eighty
six when the Celtics went fifty and one at home. Oh,
(28:26):
Casey wanted to keep Tracy, but kept another guy they drafted.
You know, I didn't want to blow a million dollars,
so that was a problem.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Who was the guy they drafted that they kept instead?
Speaker 7 (28:36):
Oh jeez, I can't think of his name. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Yeah, you know that. That's tough. Have you kept in
contact with Tracy Mitchell?
Speaker 7 (28:45):
Oh yeah, yeah, he's still around Lowell and he's still
rougherees basketball and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
You know, it's sometimes I dealt with a lot of
sports guys over the years, as you know, and sometimes
I respond. I referred to it as the cruel gift.
You know, the guys who were great Triple A players
or what sometimes they call four A players and that
could not make it to the big leagues or NHL
players who were great players in college, did really well
(29:12):
in the AHL, but just you know, they ended up
playing European hockey. And again, think of a guy being,
you know, cut from the Celtics would have been the
twelfth man back in those.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
Four would have loved to have been.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Yeah, yeah, well I don't know. Did they carry fourteen
back in.
Speaker 11 (29:30):
That and.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
Just twelve?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
I think it might have been, I think for a while,
and I think they then expanded it later. But but yeah, again,
a cruel gift. You're so talented, you chase that dream,
and you're that close. You're that close. You and I
never were that close. So we were blessed.
Speaker 12 (29:52):
Dennis, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Thanks talk soon. I got Jim in Kansas City. Jim,
I kind of imagine who you might I met up
there in KC. How are you, buddy?
Speaker 7 (30:03):
Hi Dan, I'm happy again? Thank you? How are you great?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
You're always happy?
Speaker 7 (30:07):
Go ahead, I am.
Speaker 8 (30:09):
Well.
Speaker 9 (30:11):
This is when I was living in San Diego and
I had to be like eighty eight, maybe eighty nine.
I was working for this concrete construction company called RW
Hankins down in National City. We got a contract to
redo some of the concrete work at Sea World at
the Amphitheater, at the Shamou Show at Shamoo at the
(30:34):
Shamoo Show, but they were still it was a part
of the season when it was closed, but they were
still doing something there in the afternoon, so we had
to start work like three o'clock in the morning. We
started work, and they told us very first day, don't
go over where shamou is, don't go in there, don't
touch the you know. Sure enough, one morning nobody was around,
(30:55):
I went over there, I kneeled down. It came right
They're trained to come up to get a fish, and
it came right up and I patted it on head
and then it went back down again.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
You met Shammoo the whale.
Speaker 7 (31:06):
I met. I met Shamou. It was a good experience.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Okay, Shamoo the whale. Okay, so so you're you're I got,
I got Jackie Kennedy, Shammoo the whale, Ronald Reagan, Willie Mays.
I mean that's a group Shammoo the whale. Uh shamo Hey,
you know something? Hey, that that's everybody knew Shamoo, that's
(31:30):
for sure. How many sheamoos did they have. I assumed
that when one shamou passed on, they they had another shamoo, right,
I assume.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Well, like I.
Speaker 9 (31:40):
Said, this was the one in eighty eight or eighty nine,
there was only one of.
Speaker 7 (31:44):
Them in this tank.
Speaker 13 (31:45):
Okay, well, yeah, there was just I think they had
other tanks where they kept dolphins and you know whatever else,
but this was a special place and they said don't
go in there. Sure enough, I went in.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
All right, Well that's okay. Sometimes a man has to
do what a man has to do. Jim, thanks much
to talk soon, Thanks buddy. I'll enjoyed that.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
All right.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Let me get Jay and framing him in here, Jay
and framing him is next.
Speaker 5 (32:09):
Hi Jay, how are you good?
Speaker 7 (32:11):
Hi Dan? How are you doing?
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Give me your celebrity go right ahead. I should have
asked Jim on Chimu if Chimu treated him well, but
I suspect people treated yeah.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
Anyway, So last summer I was with my wife on
the Cape and we went into the Hot Chocolate Sparrow.
It's our favorite place on the Cape.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
To get town that What town is that?
Speaker 7 (32:35):
Oh it's in Orleans.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Okay, yep, I know Orleans show.
Speaker 7 (32:39):
Okay, it's right near the Rotary. Anyway, So we were
in there and look, there are a whole bunch of
people seated inside, have their coffees and lunches and stuff.
And I see the circle of people and there's this
guy there that looked, you know, very very come ending,
(33:01):
like he's holding court. You know, and he had his
friends around him, like, he looks so familiar, and I'm thinking, oh,
I know who that is. That's Curtis Armstrong. Now do
you know who that is by name?
Speaker 2 (33:14):
No, I don't know who that is, but sounds like he.
Speaker 7 (33:17):
Was one of the He was one of the most
prevalent supporting actors in the eighties. He he was in
Risky Business, he was in Moonlighting, he was in Revenge
of the Nerds, he was in Better Off Dead.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Okay, again, I'm not a big movie guy, but that's
that's Did you get a chance to chat with them?
Speaker 7 (33:41):
Not so much of a chat, but as he was
I saw him. I didn't know if I wanted to
bother him too much, but he was getting up, so
I figured I got to go talk to him. Sure,
and I said, you know, Curtis. He goes yes, and
I said, Hi, I'm really big fan and loved your
movies and stuff, and you know, can I get a picture?
(34:01):
And so I have a selfie with him. He looks
somewhere between bored and annoyed. I'm looking at at.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
His picture now here Actually yeah, yeah, so it was
it was not sound. I thought you might have been
going here. It was not a pleasant memory.
Speaker 7 (34:21):
Well it was still great. Okay. It was great for me,
Maybe not for him.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
He's not a big guy. He's only five feet forward.
Speaker 7 (34:31):
Says yeah, yeah. So did you ever see the show Moonlighting?
The TV show I've.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Been I've been working in radio and TV most of
the career. Nights in TV, I worked six and eleven
o'clock newscast. I assume Moonlighting was on in prime what
we call prime time. Yeah, yeah, no, I missed that.
Speaker 7 (34:58):
Tvrs were so prevalent. But Bruce Willis was the star, okay,
and Curtis Armstrong was, like, you know, the supporting actor
in the show.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
All right, all right, Curtis Armstrong. So he was okay,
but he wasn't. He didn't become like a close personal friend,
is what you're telling me.
Speaker 7 (35:17):
Yeah, that's right. So it's how it goes sometimes.
Speaker 2 (35:21):
But that's okay. You got that selfie? You got that Selfieeah? Hey, Jake, thanks,
I love that one. Thanks much, Doctor you later. All right.
I must tell you tonight that that in terms of
famous Jack Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, and Shammou the Whale are
ahead of Curtis Curtis Armstrong.

think I saw another celebrity.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Who's that?
Speaker 8 (35:43):
Do you drive a Volvo?
Speaker 2 (35:45):

(04:23):
the Karen Reid case, an appeal that her lawyers are
taking to the court over whether or not lawyers, whether
or not the jurors in this case actually came to
a decision in the jury room. Also, I want to
mention that Bill Kickham has reminded me not only is
he in west is he in Westwood, but Bob George
(04:44):
has offices now in Hyenas in Boston. So which brings
us to the favorite hour of for me, breshes with celebrity?
Who have you met? Who treated you well? One of
the things I think I mentioned before that my daughter
met a celebrity who will remain anonymous, as I told
(05:07):
the story a couple of times, so I don't want
to pile on here, but a celebrity who was not
particularly pleasant, and somebody who you would think would have
been pleasant because he was a member of the Monty
Python group. But so, who have you met and how
did they treat you? And you're going to determine if
who the celebrity is okay for you. The celebrity might
(05:30):
be Frank Sinatra or maybe Lady Gaga, I don't know.
It's possible Taylor Swift, I don't know. Or it may
be a professional athlete or an actor or an author,
or it might be someone who you view as a
celebrity who might just know Whoever you think, we're going
to go right to the phones, and I'm going to
(05:51):
start it off tonight with Neil in Watertown. Neil, welcome
to Nightside. How are you?
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Thank you?
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Jim.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
I work in a college bookstore in the textbook department,
and a young man and two women came in, and
the young man asked me, do you have the Associated
Press style Book? I said, oh, I think so. It's
over here in the English department. And then I said,
I just want to make sure because we have the
other style books, and is this the book that your
(06:19):
professor wants you to use? And then the one woman said, oh,
we're part of a project and between the university and
the Boston Globe. She said, I'm a photographer. And I said, oh, well,
what's your name? And she said, Jessica Ronald and oh
I read. I read the what they call the cup
Line and the Globe and the New York Times. So
(06:43):
I read the Globe and the New York Times and
the Herald. Those are my basically, and so I said oh.
And I said, but I was trying to think of
other photographers and I couldn't think of them. And I went, oh,
very turning, she says yes, and I said, and I
stammered at and I said, Pat Greenhouse and she said yes,
And then I couldn't think of anymore. So they told
(07:04):
me about the project between the Globe and the universe
of right, right, I thought about celebrity.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
There's got to be a celebrity in here.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Oh well, I would define her as a celebrity because
I'm just an average person. I know who she is.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
And okay, so Jessica photographer.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Right.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
But so they told about the project, and then the
reason this is memorable to me personally, he said, uh
so she's she said okay, goodbye, thank you very much,
and she's walking across the floor and up the stairs.
I'm about to go out the last second. Ago Anna
Moneymaker and she says, oh yes. And I don't know
why I thought of me any Anna money Maker, except
(07:47):
because she's a photographer either for the New York Times
for the Associated Press. And she said, oh yeah. So
I the thought that that's what it was meaningful to
me was a fellowship of photographers.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
That's okay, that's a good one. And they treated you well, Neil,
thank you very much, appreciate it very much for your call.
Speaker 5 (08:06):
Talk about it.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Let me keep rolling here and I'm going to go
to Sandy in West Roxbury. Sandy, how are you?
Speaker 6 (08:14):
Oh, I'm very well. Thank you. I wanted to thank
you also for having that the nine o'clock hour. It
broke my heart, but thank you. I have something a
little bit unusual. But I was going through you know,
I work in the archives for the West Rocky Historical Society,
and I was going through the a petition that was
(08:35):
signed in nineteen eighty five, it doesn't matter what it
was for. And it came across the name Bobby or Sure,
and I said, oh my goodness, could it be? Could
it be? You know, did he sign this petition? So
he it said Bobby or to make a plane. So
I don't know much about sports. I didn't know, you know,
(08:56):
how old he would have been. Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I don't think Bobby lived in Jamaica. Plane.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
He lived downtown, and yeah, I thought, you know he might.
Some people said they thought he was in Canada, but
I thought, well, maybe he has another in Boston.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
And then he's been living in Florida. Also is a
place down the cape.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
Well anyway, I after talking to a few people and
not figuring it out, I googled Bobby Or to make
a plane, And it turns out I thought, this is
just so funny. There's a Bobby Orr who listened to
make a plane and it said meet Bobby Orr. But
it was m E.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
A T.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
He is exactly about the same age, and but he works,
has all his likes all his working life, works in
the stop and chop at the meat counter, and to
stop and dropping to make a plane. And you know,
he got so much ribbing, and people would say, oh,
you know the customers then oh, you want to meet
(09:55):
Bobby Or? You wantn't get up to or I wanted
to meet Bobby Or. And then they take him over
and introduce him to this other guy. But his whole life,
you know, it was just sort of like a double
ganger that was hanging over that maybe.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
A double gang or a name, but not necessarily Okay.
Speaker 6 (10:13):
I know, I just thought that was so funny when
it came across the name Bobby Or.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Oh, by the way, if you ever have a chance
to meet Bobby Or, he's one of the great class
acts in this city.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (10:23):
I know, I've heard you say that many times.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Absolutely great guy, a great guy. I know him very well.
He's a he's the greatest hockey player in the history
of the NHL, but I think he's a better person
than he was just a hockey player. Let me put
it like that.
Speaker 6 (10:38):
Okay, so nice that you could say that, Sandy, Thanks

Speaker 5 (11:45):
Good, go ahead, right, Damn, I'm here, Dan, I know well.

You're there, that's for sure. I gotta I got a
faulty mouse here, and then we'll figured it out. Okay,
thanks Bill.
Speaker 8 (11:57):
All right, I want to preface this, uh lebrity for
a second. I just want to say that sometimes at
the end of the night you'll say that you weren't
happy with the show. But I've never heard any of
your shows that weren't spectacular.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
They're a very kind, very kind.
Speaker 5 (12:13):
I know that they're all great.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Well. I know that when the Winnakers play music in Boston,
they're they're always great shows, so I can return the compliment.
But I don't know if you ever have a knife
when you when you feel well, maybe I could have
done this song a little bit better, that song a
little bit better.
Speaker 8 (12:29):
I think, yeah, absolutely both perfections.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
But thank you you're so gracious to make that comment.
You're a great friend, and.
Speaker 8 (12:41):
I get so much. I learn a lot from listening
to your show, and it's it's the best show in town,
probably the best talk show in the country.
Speaker 9 (12:51):
But we'll leave it.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
But that is high praise coming from you. But and
I mean that seriously. I know you know the Winnick
is very well. You guys have been friends for more
than forty years, and I know you're so loyal to
this program, and you know I'm loyal to you guys.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
And it's oh, we're all big fans of yours. But
i'll tell you what happened. We'll go to celebrity now.
In nineteen eighty three, I got a hug, a really
nice hug from Jackie Kennedy.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Really yeah, wow.
Speaker 8 (13:28):
But i'll give you the backstory of it.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (13:31):
So Peter Lawford married Patricia Kennedy and their daughter, Sidney Lawford,
married Peter McKelvey and we got called to do this wedding.
It was on the Kennedy compound. Yeah, and I knew.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I knew Sydney from when I was living in the
back base. A lovely woman, very very pretty.
Speaker 8 (13:55):
Yes, great, she's wonderful. And she married a wonderful guy,
Peter mc kelvey. So we got to call in the
In the in the eighties, my father would be out
on Saturday nights with his band, and Bo would be
out with his band, and I'd be out with The
demand was high because we'd been playing at the Parker
House for a long time, so I got the assignment.
(14:18):
So I went to the Kennedy compound with an eight
piece span and I had no interaction with Jackie at
all all night long. I was I was looking at
her to her date that night was Oldig Cassini, the
dress designer. And I mean, this was quite a night.
I had a guitar player go out in the audience
(14:39):
with his guitar and sing sweet Rosio Grady to Rose,
Oh my God. But when the night was over, it
was a spectacular evening. When the night was over, I
see Jackie walking towards us. We're on a stage with
an eight piece span. She climbs right up onto the
stage and she comes up to me and I stood
(15:00):
up and she gave me a big hug. She said
the music was spectacular, and then she went down the
line and gave everyone a really great handshaken. So I'll
never forget that hug.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
I'll tell you that. I'll tell you this is going
to be a tough celebrity because not only was she
a a celebrity, but she wasn't somebody who was readily accessible.
You know what I'm saying there.
Speaker 8 (15:26):
I know that, you know, so it blew me away.
But she was so warm and sincere about it. But
we really delivered the goods that night, and she was
very appreciative.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
And I saw her, never met her, but I saw
her a couple of times at a restaurant on Marthy's Vineyard.
She had a big piece of property out of what
was called Gayhead, which is now called a Quinna at
the far end of Martha's Vineyard, and there was a
restaurant up by the lighthouse. It wasn't the most elegant
(16:00):
restaurant in the world, if the truth be known. It
was kind of a touristy type restaurant. And every once
in a while she would be sitting over off in
the corner. You know, no one would bother. Oftentimes she'd
be sitting there with a pair of dark glasses and
a scarf overhead. But you know, if you knew who
she was, you knew who she was and people were
very very respectful. Bill, that's a fabulous That's one that
(16:24):
that's going to be tough to beat. Tonight.
Speaker 8 (16:25):
I gotta tell you, that's a story I've never told
on the era, to really tell that story, but I'll
never forget it. It was really special, unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
You brought the goods tonight, mister Winnaker, as you guys
do always do. Thank you, my friend. We'll talk again.
Have a great weekend. How many different venues are you
guys hitting this weekend? Where can people go and hear
the Winnick is next play?
Speaker 8 (16:50):
Oh, it's all private parties this weekend, but we had
a couple of public things during the week. I will
tell everybody that we play once a month and West
will at a restaurant called Naroli, And you can just
go to the website for restaurant and find out all
about it.

this show.
Speaker 8 (17:13):
This show is it's n E R O l I.
And they have have this once a month for a
Thursday night, just two hours of music and dinner. It's
so it's like a party. It's really fun.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
Absolutely, And you said in Westwood, right.
Speaker 8 (17:33):
In Westwood, it's a great restaurant.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
Great, all right, when I get back closer to the back,
closer to Boston, I'm going to hit that one night
with you. Maybe I'll let a few of our friends
here know then and we'll make a little get a
little group of group together there.
Speaker 8 (17:50):
But that's a you can't wait a minute, No, it's
a it's a Thursday night.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
That's tough.
Speaker 8 (17:57):
You know what, you know what we can do for you.
We can pick one Sunday and do a brunch out there.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
We'll talk about it, We'll talk about it privately. Okay, yeah, thanks,
thanks so much. Let me go next to Dawn. Uh,
Dawn enlighten us.
Speaker 10 (18:16):
How are you, don I'm good, Dan, how are you?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I'm doing just great? Thanks for calling in down from
Stain Go.
Speaker 11 (18:22):
Ahead, thank you.
Speaker 10 (18:24):
I personally have met John Densmore from the Doors the
Drummer at a little bookstore in Boston. But yeah, that
was pretty big for me. But I'm going to tell
you a funny story. Years ago, I took my daughter
and some of my friends to a little dive in
(18:45):
Framingham called the Chicken Bone.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I know the Chicken Bone. Yeah, the Chicken Ball. I
don't think the Chicken Bone's in business any any longer.
It was right there. It was on Route sixteen, was
it nuts, Yeah, not too far on the other side
of the tracks from the railroad station. I know exactly
how it was. I had a friend of mine who
worked there. Actually, Oh, who'd you see there?
Speaker 10 (19:11):
Well, Peter Talk from the Monkeys had formed a blues
band and he was playing at the Chicken Bone, and
my youngest daughter had a major crush on him. So
I said, well, let's go. I mean she was I
think thirteen fourteen at the time. And we go in
there and we got our seat and we're waiting, and
(19:33):
then I go, oh, I forgot the album out in
the car for him to sign a Monkey's album. So
I go out to the car, I come back in
and I go, oh, great, who's sitting in my seat now?
It was Peter Talk talking to my daughter and she's
in tears because she's so starstruck. He was the nicest
(19:55):
person you could ever meet. He signed the album, he
gave her a T shirt, he gave for a hug.
I thought she was going to pass out, but he
just was great.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
Unbelievable that that is such a great story. That is
totally unbelievable. Oh man. Now, the monkeys, of course were
really big in the sixties. I mean that was that
was when they were they were rolling rolling it in right, yes,
so this must have been a little after the height
(20:28):
of their career.
Speaker 10 (20:29):
I'm guessing, oh, long after Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
What year approximately.
Speaker 10 (20:35):
That I was there?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, yeah, oh was there.
Speaker 10 (20:39):
Let's see, at least fifteen years ago maybe.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
Okay, so so this was in this century. So so
they have still been doing this. I hear who's the
guy that It's not Peter Tork, Who's who's the most
there's another one of the monkeys who I hear all
the time and you hear him on.
Speaker 10 (21:02):
Radio, Nicky Dolans.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
No, no, maybe it was Peter Talk. Maybe it is
Peter Talk. No, no, I don't think so, Rober said
Davy Jones.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Oh, and Mike Ness, it must be Peter Talk. It
must be Peter Talk. Then I think he does. He's
kind of the lead guy in the group, right, No,
I think.
Speaker 10 (21:26):
It was kind of Davy Jones was kind of Okay, well,
but then Peter Talk has passed away.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Okay, well then I'm not here in them. It's a
good tell. If he was a middle infielder for you know,
the Saint Louis Cardinals in the nineteen fifties, I would
know him. But that's great. But the Chicken Bone, I
haven't thought about the Chicken Bone in a long time.
It was a great, great place. It was a great place.
Speaker 10 (21:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
I grew up in Framingham, so it was sure born
for many years.
Speaker 10 (21:56):
Beautiful place from eighty six.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
To two thousand and six. And I hit a lot
of restaurants, Marconi's and oh yeah, yeah, that was a great,
great Italian restaurant. Thanks so much, down, I appreciate you.
Have you called the show.
Speaker 10 (22:11):
Before, Yes, many time.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Well come on keep calling, will you?
Speaker 10 (22:14):
Thank you so much?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Thanks, Donha have a great night. Okay, thanks, good night.
We're taking a quick break. Six one seven, two five,
four to ten thirty, triple eight nine ten thirty and
six one seven nine thirty. That's the only line open
right now. We're going next to my good friend Hank
in New Jersey. Hank, hold on, man, I want to
(22:36):
talk to you. We're coming back on night Side.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
You're on night Side with Dan Ray on WZ Boston's
news radio.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
All right, back to the phones here, let me go
to we got we got Hank in New Jersey. Hank, welcome,
my friend. How are you?
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Thank you for taking a call. Dad. Everything's good.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
I left you a voice mail the other day. I
hope you got it. I didn't want to bug you out.
Check in with you over the weekend.
Speaker 5 (23:04):
Okay, yeah, okay, fine, I did't get the voice boil,
by the way, you didn't. I have two one good,
one bad?
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Oh, okay.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
One because I met Ronald Reagan while he was governor
of the California and before he announced his word for
the president.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Yeah, he was governor of California for two terms. I
can help you out, and he was elected in sixty six,
so he served from sixty seven to January of seventy five.
He was real life.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
So I met him nineteen seventy five in that area.
We're at a New York City Conservative party dinner. I
went up to him and he I said, mister President,
which you boy? Sided the brochure for the and he
(24:01):
signed it. He danked me, and I danked him, and
I wished him well on his presidency. Very very pleasant
old guy on the other hand, many years later at
a baseball card show, I met Mickey Mantel, Duke Sneider,
and Willie Mays.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Three pretty good New York baseball.
Speaker 5 (24:24):
Players, absolutely, but what a disappointment. Mantel was terrific. Duke
Sneider actually had my father sit down with him, but
he was signed in autographs and the turor would often
had to smoke together, and they were. But when I
went over to Willie Mays, I used to think about
(24:47):
little roses. I gave one to him and then a
very obnoxious toad. He says, don't touch me, and I said,
I apologize anything buy it's I'm here to side to autographs.
That's all I find out. As we were a dealer
(25:13):
I was talking to admitted the dealers. We were at
the Trump Plaza at that time, and he was a
little bit down to talk to people nicely. I've come
out with this. Vicky Bahner was twenty five dollars for
a signature, Duke Sneider was ted, and Mays was fifteen.
(25:38):
And maybe he's a little po that he didn't get
the top billied.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Maybe. Yeah, he had a pretty good reputation to be
really honest with you, I'm disappointed to hear that there
are other people who you would say, maybe so, but
you might have caught him on a bad day.
Speaker 5 (25:56):
Hank, you never know. I, like I said, I only
time I met him, But uh, three years, I've talked
to a lot of people and they said he was
the same way. Yet I've heard, but especially after he
passed on, how many people sports talk shows said how
good he was. Well, another guy, a guy in fact,
(26:19):
who has another talk show just before you in New York,
Bett Willie McCovey. Willie Mays as a kid asked for
the signature. McCovey gave the kid the signature. I mean
he's a man now, obviously, but he went to May's
mass to get I'm not here, don't bother me. I'm
(26:41):
here to play baseball, not give out signatures. I know
that you have to do it bad days in his life.
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (26:50):
You never know.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Thank you for taking a call.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
You sound great. You sound like your own self. Do
you sound great. I'll give you a call tomorrow. Okay, Thanks,
thanks very much. Hank is a great friend and a
listener down in New Jersey and just a great guy.
Let's keep rolling here. There's one line open at six
one Hank spot has already been filled. Let me go
to my friend Dennis in Lowell. Dennis, you are next
(27:15):
on nightside.
Speaker 7 (27:15):
Welcome, Well, good evening, Dan. And of course I've got
to do a sports celebrity all Corse.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Yeah, I mean you're a sports guy. Come on.
Speaker 7 (27:24):
Yeah. Well, actually, Casey Jones used to live in andover
Son Kipper used to play in the Merrimack Valley League,
and I coached basketball at Low High for twenty thirty years.
I used to do with summer camps up at Norwich University,
so for like a decade, and I got to meet
Larry Bird, McHale, Paris, Dennis Johnson, Danny Ainge. I've got
(27:48):
to be pretty good friends with Jerry Shesting because he'd
do the whole week at the camp. Bill. The only
thing with Bill Walton is I couldn't do a high
five with Bill Walton. He was just a little too tall.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
But well you got you got to meet the entire
team with the big eighties.
Speaker 7 (28:06):
You know, oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah. Would you believe
I even had a basketball player played for a little High,
became captain of Texas Christian University, Tracy Mitchell is his
name is one of the last cuts in nineteen eighty
six when the Celtics went fifty and one at home. Oh,
(28:26):
Casey wanted to keep Tracy, but kept another guy they drafted.
You know, I didn't want to blow a million dollars,
so that was a problem.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Who was the guy they drafted that they kept instead?
Speaker 7 (28:36):
Oh jeez, I can't think of his name. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Yeah, you know that. That's tough. Have you kept in
contact with Tracy Mitchell?
Speaker 7 (28:45):
Oh yeah, yeah, he's still around Lowell and he's still
rougherees basketball and stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
You know, it's sometimes I dealt with a lot of
sports guys over the years, as you know, and sometimes
I respond. I referred to it as the cruel gift.
You know, the guys who were great Triple A players
or what sometimes they call four A players and that
could not make it to the big leagues or NHL
players who were great players in college, did really well
(29:12):
in the AHL, but just you know, they ended up
playing European hockey. And again, think of a guy being,
you know, cut from the Celtics would have been the
twelfth man back in those.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
Four would have loved to have been.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Yeah, yeah, well I don't know. Did they carry fourteen
back in.
Speaker 11 (29:30):
That and.
Speaker 7 (29:32):
Just twelve?
Speaker 2 (29:33):
I think it might have been, I think for a while,
and I think they then expanded it later. But but yeah, again,
a cruel gift. You're so talented, you chase that dream,
and you're that close. You're that close. You and I
never were that close. So we were blessed.
Speaker 12 (29:52):
Dennis, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (29:54):
Thanks talk soon. I got Jim in Kansas City. Jim,
I kind of imagine who you might I met up
there in KC. How are you, buddy?
Speaker 7 (30:03):
Hi Dan, I'm happy again? Thank you? How are you great?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
You're always happy?
Speaker 7 (30:07):
Go ahead, I am.
Speaker 8 (30:09):
Well.
Speaker 9 (30:11):
This is when I was living in San Diego and
I had to be like eighty eight, maybe eighty nine.
I was working for this concrete construction company called RW
Hankins down in National City. We got a contract to
redo some of the concrete work at Sea World at
the Amphitheater, at the Shamou Show at Shamoo at the
(30:34):
Shamoo Show, but they were still it was a part
of the season when it was closed, but they were
still doing something there in the afternoon, so we had
to start work like three o'clock in the morning. We
started work, and they told us very first day, don't
go over where shamou is, don't go in there, don't
touch the you know. Sure enough, one morning nobody was around,
(30:55):
I went over there, I kneeled down. It came right
They're trained to come up to get a fish, and
it came right up and I patted it on head
and then it went back down again.
Speaker 2 (31:04):
You met Shammoo the whale.
Speaker 7 (31:06):
I met. I met Shamou. It was a good experience.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Okay, Shamoo the whale. Okay, so so you're you're I got,
I got Jackie Kennedy, Shammoo the whale, Ronald Reagan, Willie Mays.
I mean that's a group Shammoo the whale. Uh shamo Hey,
you know something? Hey, that that's everybody knew Shamoo, that's
(31:30):
for sure. How many sheamoos did they have. I assumed
that when one shamou passed on, they they had another shamoo, right,
I assume.
Speaker 5 (31:39):
Well, like I.
Speaker 9 (31:40):
Said, this was the one in eighty eight or eighty nine,
there was only one of.
Speaker 7 (31:44):
Them in this tank.
Speaker 13 (31:45):
Okay, well, yeah, there was just I think they had
other tanks where they kept dolphins and you know whatever else,
but this was a special place and they said don't
go in there. Sure enough, I went in.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
All right, Well that's okay. Sometimes a man has to
do what a man has to do. Jim, thanks much
to talk soon, Thanks buddy. I'll enjoyed that.
Speaker 5 (32:05):
All right.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Let me get Jay and framing him in here, Jay
and framing him is next.
Speaker 5 (32:09):
Hi Jay, how are you good?
Speaker 7 (32:11):
Hi Dan? How are you doing?
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Give me your celebrity go right ahead. I should have
asked Jim on Chimu if Chimu treated him well, but
I suspect people treated yeah.
Speaker 7 (32:23):
Anyway, So last summer I was with my wife on
the Cape and we went into the Hot Chocolate Sparrow.
It's our favorite place on the Cape.
Speaker 2 (32:33):

Okay, it's right near the Rotary. Anyway, So we were
in there and look, there are a whole bunch of
people seated inside, have their coffees and lunches and stuff.
And I see the circle of people and there's this
guy there that looked, you know, very very come ending,
(33:01):
like he's holding court. You know, and he had his
friends around him, like, he looks so familiar, and I'm thinking, oh,
I know who that is. That's Curtis Armstrong. Now do
you know who that is by name?
Speaker 2 (33:14):
No, I don't know who that is, but sounds like he.
Speaker 7 (33:17):
Was one of the He was one of the most
prevalent supporting actors in the eighties. He he was in
Risky Business, he was in Moonlighting, he was in Revenge
of the Nerds, he was in Better Off Dead.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Okay, again, I'm not a big movie guy, but that's
that's Did you get a chance to chat with them?
Speaker 7 (33:41):
Not so much of a chat, but as he was
I saw him. I didn't know if I wanted to
bother him too much, but he was getting up, so
I figured I got to go talk to him. Sure,
and I said, you know, Curtis. He goes yes, and
I said, Hi, I'm really big fan and loved your
movies and stuff, and you know, can I get a picture?
(34:01):
And so I have a selfie with him. He looks
somewhere between bored and annoyed. I'm looking at at.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
His picture now here Actually yeah, yeah, so it was
it was not sound. I thought you might have been
going here. It was not a pleasant memory.
Speaker 7 (34:21):
Well it was still great. Okay. It was great for me,

The TV show I've.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Been I've been working in radio and TV most of
the career. Nights in TV, I worked six and eleven
o'clock newscast. I assume Moonlighting was on in prime what
we call prime time. Yeah, yeah, no, I missed that.
Speaker 7 (34:58):
Tvrs were so prevalent. But Bruce Willis was the star, okay,
and Curtis Armstrong was, like, you know, the supporting actor
in the show.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
All right, all right, Curtis Armstrong. So he was okay,
but he wasn't. He didn't become like a close personal friend,
is what you're telling me.
