It's nice eyes.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Dan Ray, Undown's Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
All right, welcome back at different show tonight. We try
to do it differently, but some nights we try to
do it real differently, and tonight we've done it very differently.
We had four interesting guests. In the first hour. We
talked about Louis ti on why is he not in
the Baseball Hall of Fame. He had some great calls.
During the second hours, some new callers, and we talked
(00:28):
to a guy down in North Carolina who now lives
It's just a few houses away from Grady Little, to
former manager of the Boston Red Sox. He's a guy
from Haveral Dave who now lives in North Carolina. And
at the top of the ten talked about what a
great guy Grady Little is. When we try to get
Grady on the show some night, I think he was
(00:48):
he was not given a good chance here in Boston.
I think he was a real gentleman. And again I
think he could have easily won two or three World Series.
Obviously was succeeded.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
By Oh it was Let's say it wasn't Francona or Francona,
it was Oh God, the guy that was that didn't
have a lot of success. Bobby Valentine pretty sure. Bobby
Valentine was between Grady Little and Terry Francona. And then
last time we talked about institutions that you've missed here
(01:23):
in Massachusetts and for that matter, New England. You know,
so we're gonna we're going to continue on that theme.
If you want to talk about institutions that you miss
that would be fine. That was a very strong hour
and there were a lot of folks. We talked with
the State Treasurer of the Comwealth straight technically the state
Treasurer and receive a general deb Goldberg and she dropped
(01:48):
by which we always a delightful she's delightful to talk
to and a good friend and someone who is actually
doing a great job as the Treasurer of the Comwealth.
And I do not compliment every politician, only the ones
I like. But I want to since today's Friday the thirteenth,
every year we have one or two Fridays the thirteenth.
(02:11):
If you look at a calendar example, I'm just thinking that, okay,
we've had a Friday the thirteenth, Our next Friday the thirteenth.
When you think about it.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
It's going to take a while, and of course the
reason for that is the way the calendar works, and
it's only be like seven or eight months before you
get at least Yeah, okay, we'll have a Friday the
thirteenth in June. That'll be one Friday the thirteenth for
next year. But then we probably won't have another one. No, no, no,
we're gonna get by here. Maybe is there one more
(02:42):
coming that's really going to have one? It looks like, yeah,
there'll only be one Friday the thirteenth, it'll be in June.
So I thought tonight I'd like to find out from you.
I you superstitious. There's a pointed time where I think
everybody had superstitions, but the superstitions the black cats, walking
(03:09):
under the ladders and all of that. So I'm going
to give you an opportunity to talk about are you superstitious?
When you woke up today? Will you more conscious of
today's date and day of the week because it's a
Friday the thirteenth. That's my first question. And then if
you were, why have you ever had a bad experience
(03:30):
on a Friday the thirteenth. I've had a couple of
bad experiences on Friday the thirteenth, to be honest with you,
but I also will still give folks an opportunity to
call in about what they miss. An institution, an event
that they miss. It could be anything. It could be
(03:51):
an athlete that you miss. There are athletes that we
watched them for years and they go away, and it's
like you say, gee, what ever happened to so and so?
Or is there a Hollywood person? But mostly a New
England institution? Something you miss. We talked a lot about
(04:12):
restaurants last hour, so feel free join the conversation. We're
just gonna get you all the way till midnight. It's
a Friday, Friday the thirteenth, heading into the weekend. Patriots
are back in action sat on Sunday, which is a
good thing. And we were a week closer to Christmas
(04:33):
and Hanukkah and all the other holidays and the New Years.
The sand in the hour glass of twenty twenty four
is now starting to stream away, and before you know it,
it will be it will be January first, twenty twenty five.
The years just peel off that calendar. Okay, let me
get to Vince in Brock and Vince is going to

that you miss here in the greater Boston area or
New England. But which would it be here? You do both?
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Then.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
I was born in Haiti, moved to Boston, specifically in
High Park. Dinner I've if I'm dinner I have in
High Park.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Absolutely. I grew up in Readville.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
Okay, yes, that's I grew up in the area, And
I mean I grew up playing soccer, watching soccer. He
was when I went to college, I started watching football,
and it's just McNair was my fairflick quarterback.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Oh sure that he he if I'm not mistaken. Was
Houston right?
Speaker 6 (05:49):
He was?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Uh played for Houston.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
And the Titans before that, Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
All right, yeah maybe, well yeah, I think that didn't
the Titans moved from Houston. I'm gonna look mcneir up here,
because I know you're right in that. Did he have
a pretty good career? You know? Maybe it was let
me let me get how did why did mcner become
your favorite? Do you have a do you have a
connection with him at all?
Speaker 4 (06:17):
No? I guess I was born in Hey. I just
as song Arms, the kind of quite a bad player
or person that you was, you know back then, did
I mean? I was coming to you as do love
and my friends from college they got me into football,
and that's how I got into football.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I want you to know. He started with the Houston
what was called the Houston Oilers, which which then became
the Tennessee Oilers and then of course became the current
Tennessee Titans. So yeah, uh he had ah, he had
a Super Bowl season in nineteen nineteen, nineteen ninety nine.
(06:57):
When did you start rooting from what year?
Speaker 4 (07:01):

Speaker 4 (07:07):
Yeah uh and.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Yeah yeah he He also played with the Baltimore Ravens
as well. We forget about some of that stuff. But
two years in Houston, a long time in Tennessee, ten
years in Tennessee, uh, and then finished up with Baltimore
Hall of Fame. I assume he's in the Hall of
Fame because he should be at this point in my opinion.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Oh what about you know he passed away.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Though, Yeah, I did not realize that. That's Yeah, it
says his death here, which which surprises me because I've
forgotten that he had he had passed away. He died
in twenty ten. Yeah wow. Uh so, yeah, he died
(08:03):
shortly after his career ended.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Yeah, much too young, very young? Yeah, yes, yes, yeah,
I mean I'm looking at it here.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
He was forty seven years old when he died.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Oh I thought I was younger than that.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Uh no, you know something I think I think you're right.
I think he was thirty seven years old.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
I didn't ye.
Speaker 5 (08:31):
Thirty seven now yeah, yeah, yeah, unfortunate.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Hey, I got to look at that. Well, okay, I
can understand. Are you a Patriots fan now, Vince?
Speaker 6 (08:45):

Uh?
Speaker 1 (09:09):
And do you celebrate Christmas? Yeah? Yes, Merry Christmas?
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Okay, Merry Christmas? Then thank thank you.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Thanks Vince, talk soon, Thank you very much. Bye bye
bye six ladies, you can jump on board too. I
got one line, well that just filled this one line
at six one, seven, nine, three thirty. That's open right now.
Phill it and I'll have you on before you know it.
Back on night Side right after this.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Okay, let's go back to the calls where we're gonna
go to Who's next? Yeah, Larry and Dennisport down to
the Cape. Larry, welcome, How are you tonight? Are you superstar?
What do you miss?
Speaker 7 (09:55):
I got both? I got an in proportion that you'll know.
Everybody in the mid misses this. It is Benny's of Dennisport.
Do you remember Benny's?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
You know, I don't. I haven't been on the Cape
as long as you have. Was this a restaurant? I assume? No?
Speaker 7 (10:13):
No, it was, Oh my god. It was like a
hardware store. Whatever you needed, whatever you needed.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
In the house.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
You going to Benny's. You never left empty handed. And
people in Dennisport and the Midgate we still talk about it,
how we missed Benny's. So anyway, superstition, Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
It is my favorite day.
Speaker 7 (10:35):
Because my birthday occasionally falls on Friday the thirteenth. It was,
so it's by ring day.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Okay, So wait a second, So what is your birth
Your birthday is in December thirteenth, is it? No?
Speaker 7 (10:48):
No, no, it's November thirteenth. It won't come on Friday
until I think twenty twenty six. It was it like
every six years or something.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Well, I think what happens is, when you think about it,
we should have a Friday the thirteenth every seven months
now because months and in different days at the combination
can change. But for example, the next Friday the thirteenth
is in June next year twenty twenty five, and there
(11:20):
are no other Friday the thirteenth in the entire November.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
But November thirteenth falls on a Friday. I think every
sixth or seven years or something because of lap year.
I never really calculated it.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Well, yeah, what happens is when it's three hundred and
sixty five days in the year, that pushes the calendar
ahead one year. So next year is twenty fifth, So
a year from tonight it's going to be Friday and
it's going to be in December, but it's going to
be December twelfth because it was in alyp Ya. And
(12:00):
two years from now, I can tell you that that
Friday will be December eleventh. It just works that way.
But yeah, but what do you think about it that
there's seven days in a week, so on any given
month it should have a one in seven chance of
being being a Friday being on the thirteenth.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
Right exactly. So anyway, next time, maybe next time you're
down the cape, though, next time you're down the cape,
any ask any of your longtime neighbors, ask him about
Bennie's of Dennis Port.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
All right, when did that business when a business?
Speaker 7 (12:32):
Oh my god, it's got to be at least ten
years ago. I mean Ocean State and not Ocean State.
Job lot was in there, some other place that tried
to go in. Nothing else has been able to stay.
It's whatever's in there now. I think it's job lots,
and I think that's gone. So everybody wants a market
basket to go in there.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Oh that's in Dennis right, I know, yeh, right.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
Right on twenty eighth.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Yeah, oh, I know.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Exactly where that is. Yeah, it's a big there's a
big set of lights, and then there's a fork in
the road south.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
Exactly go beyond it. Right, that's where Ocean State is.
But just go go right through Dennis Sports Center and
about another block or two in the rest right after
Babo's trying a show, got it.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I know exactly where it is. I know we'd love
to see a market basket in there.
Speaker 7 (13:18):
Well yeah, all.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Right, Hey, I have a great, great, great weekend. And
what do you do you celebrate Christmas? Or do you
celebrate what's your what's your holiday?

Speaker 8 (14:22):
Oh yeah, Well I go way back. I grew up
in the North End. Then I worked in the Financial
District in Boston and there's a couple of restaurants, the
Newspaper Hangouts and the old Bell in Hand on Devonshire Street.
Were you familiar with that.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
No, that's that goes back aways.
Speaker 8 (14:45):
Give me a sixty eight Monty. Monty was the name
of the fellow in there. It was around sixty eight
when when I started working. And of course I'm a
product of the three martini lunch.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yes, there were a lot of free martini. How did
you guys ever work in those days.
Speaker 8 (15:05):
Well, well, you know, I gave out a lot of
printing throughout the city and they would the printers would
take me out to lunch. So you know, I could
go as I'm going out with a client and you
would go back to the office and then you'd have
(15:26):
your three martinis. Then you smoke a cigar. It was
crazy in those days, and no one complained about the
cigar smoke, by the way, so I was.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, so I was still in college law school. So
I don't know that I've ever even had a martini
in my life. I'm a cors beer guy, of course,
light actually or red wine. But how I know what
goes into a martini? How could you build up the
ability to have three martinis and do anythink functional in
(16:01):
the afternoon.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
You didn't do that, oh anyway. And then there was
Warmitts on Devonshire Street. No, I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Warms the sixties, late sixties, How long? How deep into
the seventies did these go?
Speaker 8 (16:23):
Only the the bell in hand and Warmitts. Warmitts went
out in sixty eight, nineteen sixty eight. And it was
right across the street from the Herald on uh on
Devonshire Street. No, Devonshire Street, he.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Was I thought that was on Harrison.
Speaker 8 (16:45):
Nope, well this was maybe it's way back all right?
Well anyway. Then then there's the European on Hanover Street.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Sure, the European absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 8 (16:58):
Now that was The prices were terrific and everything was great,
I mean, and then that went out. Now these are
all out of business. The Red Coach Grill in Saugus,
remember that.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I remember the Red Coach grill that was. There were
a bunch of Red Coach grills around. Absolutely those were
those were I can remember as a kid, my family
took our neighbors, the Gordon's, to red Red Coach grill
and it was like I thought we were driving to Montana,
(17:35):
you know, And I think it was the Red Coach
Grill in Whaland or someone who was. This was like
cities and towns I had never heard of. I mean, yeah, yeah, wow.
So yeah, Well, I gotta ask you, Steve. I don't

things going through my mind and it didn't go well.
Speaker 1 (18:35):

on for a second, let me give a second chance.
I just got back from Ireland. Tell me the title
of your book, uh not then Journey. Oh I remember that.
I remember you now, Steve Sure your son sent me
a copy of the book, I think, right.
Speaker 8 (19:03):
Right, right, yes, yes, if we started talking about restaurants
in the North End and you were you were saying,
everything's so expensive today, and then you get this little
little piece of meat on a plate, and you know,
and in the old days you had plenty of food
and it was terrific.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
And then the look we got, Steve, what about Look
one of my two favorite restaurants in the North End
Joe Tecchi's right.
Speaker 4 (19:34):

they were all in there smoking cigars and playing cards
and I and I met him, uh and uh anyway,
(20:17):
and all he said to me was was we went
to Saint Mary's School together. And he says, what I
could in school, he said, I think I think I
think they threw him out of school and his father
sent him off. Uh.

You're Friday the thirteenth, Superstitions. Okay, this is a twentieth hour.
If you don't fill it up on your Friday the thirteenth, superstitions.
(24:00):
We will go to some other topic. But I got
Lewis and Dorchester, George and Boston. I don't know what
happened to Joe, but Joe, call back and we'll get
you on. I know exactly who who Joe is. Feel free.
He's a he's a he's a veteran caller and he
must have been pulled away to do something to miss
a call here on Nightside. Here comes the news at
(24:22):
the bottom of the hour. Stay with us. We'll take
you right until midnight. The only lines open now are
of swear to guard right now. Six one seven will
get you on the ear. Those are the only two
lines open. We'll be back on night Side.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
You're on to Night's Side with Dan Ray on wz
Boston's news radio.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Back to the phones we go on this Friday the thirteenth.
Hopefully you've made it through the day. We only have
about twenty two minutes left. Let's talk with Lewis and Dorchester. Lewis,
how are you tonight?
Speaker 9 (24:56):
I'm doing fine. Dan, how are you?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I'm doing Jess grat superstitious on this Friday the thirteenth, Nah.
Speaker 9 (25:04):
Not really, but uh, I recollect that one year. I
don't know what year was, I'm seventy one years old.
There was two or three Friday the thirteenth in one year.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Well, you're absolutely right, and I'll tell you why that happened. Okay, February,
as you know, normally, except in a leit leap year, only
has twenty eight days. Right, So if you get a
Friday the thirteenth in a non leap year, and you
get a Friday the thirteenth in February and it is
(25:38):
a non leap year, you're going to automatically have a
Friday the thirteenth in March, right, yep.
Speaker 9 (25:44):
Because of the twentieth there was at least three, three
or one.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Yeares absolutely, so then you have a pretty good shot
at having another Friday the thirteenth. And when you think
about it, March has has three extra days because it's
a thirty first yep. April has two extra days, but
then May has three extra days. So now you're up
to Now you're at eight, which really means one. So
(26:10):
you add two for June, you add three four July,
you're at six, but then you add three for August.
That's another three. So you're back now to nine, so
now you're really up two in September, you you add
(26:30):
two and then you add three for October. And if
you get a Friday the thirteenth in February of a
non leap year, you're going to get a Friday the
thirteenth in March automatically, and you'll get Friday the thirteenth
in October. So you are absolutely right. That is the
combination that gives you three Friday the thirteenth in the
(26:51):
same year. I figured it out for you.
Speaker 8 (26:53):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (26:57):
Also, then, I know everybody probably know this, and some
some of the hotels don't have a thirteenth floor.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
That is correct, because that's the superstition.
Speaker 9 (27:08):
Yeah yeah. And also I used to work Charlene pop
apartment complex and they went from eleven to fifteen. They
didn't have a thirteenth number, you know really yeah, yeah, Actually.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
It'll be by the way me correct myself. Let me
correct myself, it won't be October, it's November. So if
you get a Friday the thirteenth in February of a
non leap year, you're going to get a Friday the
thirteenth in March, and then you get a Friday the
thirteenth in November. Works every time. What did you tell me?
Speaker 4 (27:46):
So?
Speaker 1 (27:47):
What did you do with that? Where you worked? I
interrupted you and I apologize.
Speaker 9 (27:51):
I was a maintenance mechanic.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
And what sort of did you do? Everything that you
have a special?
Speaker 8 (27:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:58):
I did.
Speaker 9 (27:58):
I did grounds and grounds work and paint. I was
a painter by trade, so I did a little bit
of everything.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Now you retired by now?
Speaker 9 (28:08):
Or no?
Speaker 8 (28:08):
You say, yeah?
Speaker 9 (28:09):
Oh yeah, long time, long time. Well I lost my vision,
so I'm visually imperd Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
To hear that, Lewis, you sound much too young. You
have the voice of a fifty year old.
Speaker 9 (28:19):
Yeah, no, seventy one. You're all born in fifty three.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Okay, yeah, I got that. That's good. Math. Are you enjoying?
Are you enjoying your retirement?
Speaker 9 (28:30):
Oh? Yes?
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Okay? Do you have some vision, Lewis?
Speaker 9 (28:33):
Or or when you say no, really okay? You know
vision is twenty twenty right?
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (28:40):
Vision? Okay, my left eye is twenty two hundred, My
right eye is twenty one hundred. That's not bad, we
mean not bad. The bigger than number the worst your
vision is you know?
Speaker 8 (28:55):
No, no, I know that, but.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
But Lewis Lewis, those those numbers do you have? Do
you know?
Speaker 9 (29:02):
Okay, put it this way. I got gaucoma, so my vision. Okay,
that could be a complicated, but surely you know.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
No, I hear you, I hear you. Are you being
seen by an ophthalmologist?
Speaker 6 (29:14):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (29:15):
Yes, I'm being seen by a glaucoma specialist.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
You know, good? Perfect?
Speaker 9 (29:20):
Okay, okay, okay, legally blind says twenty two thousand and two.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Wow, I will tell you normally those numbers. Maybe again,
maybe it's the glaucoma. That's glaucoma that's causing the problem
those numbers. Normally, there's a lot of kids who get
you know, they turned at thirteen to fourteen and their
vision is like that, and they get contact lenses and
they get twenty twenty vision. But I'm not dealing with glaucoma.
Speaker 9 (29:48):
So that's probably Cooma's a different different man.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Well, I wish you what do you celebrate this later
this month? What's your holiday?
Speaker 9 (29:58):
I just celebrate days, celebrate them all. Yep.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Oh do you celebrate Christmas?
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (30:07):
Not really I used to.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
But well, I wish holiday. I wish you're happy holiday.
Speaker 9 (30:14):
But but Dan remember we're telling you about the numbers. Yeah,
it went, it went all all odd numbers was on
that side. So it went from from three, five, seven, nine, eleven, fifteen,
did it went to went to seventeen?
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yep, sky all right, all right, all right this yeah,
so there's no no, uh no floor thirteen at the
hotels are like that? Due absolutely yes, yes, Lewis my.
Speaker 9 (30:48):
Friend, thirteenth floor, no thirteen floor.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
We will we will talk soon, okay, can you'd be way?

out to you, and I suspect you a little bit
slower in the mail. But you'll get it. I promise.
Speaker 6 (32:41):
Okay, I'd love to Now. The main reason I called

Speaker 1 (32:52):
Yeah, used to go there a lot when I worked
for w BZ nights. Sure, absolutely, that's a good one.
Speaker 6 (32:57):
Yeah, pretty much place, good food, good food, years ago. Right,
I've been going. I'm seventy three. I used to go
there when I was eighteen and twenty and I used
to go to Harvard games and after the game, I
go over there. Charlie was a great guy.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Yeah, is that still operational or no?
Speaker 6 (33:16):
Yeah, it's still there.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Okay, is he still there? As he passed?
Speaker 6 (33:22):
He passed away. After Harvey Games. I'd come in and say,
Tim McMahon, sit over here, right, I have a lady
friend with me. Treated me like gold in the eighties.
In the eighties and eighty five, right, two cheeseburgers a
salad was a dollar ninety nine.

Okay, no they're not. But I haven't been over there. Right,
driving down a mass Ave, you know I'm from moving right,
mass Ave is like taking your life in your own hands.

confirmation that's been sent out and it gets sent out.
I'm not I'm not joking with you, Jack Dougherty at college,
they're the best people in the world to deal with.
For some reason, there's a mess up, it will take
care of it. Trust me on that. Jack Dougherty is

time in Cambridge, so.
Speaker 10 (35:37):
Oh oh well, that was a wonderful Italian restaurant. I
mean we always used to go there for celebrations and
you know, it was a great place. But one of
my favorite days is Friday's the thirteenth. I love Friday
the thirty because it just it just feels like a
real good day. I mean, I'm not the least it's superstitious.

It's nice eyes.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Dan Ray, Undown's Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
All right, welcome back at different show tonight. We try
to do it differently, but some nights we try to
do it real differently, and tonight we've done it very differently.
We had four interesting guests. In the first hour. We
talked about Louis ti on why is he not in
the Baseball Hall of Fame. He had some great calls.
During the second hours, some new callers, and we talked
(00:28):
to a guy down in North Carolina who now lives
It's just a few houses away from Grady Little, to
former manager of the Boston Red Sox. He's a guy
from Haveral Dave who now lives in North Carolina. And
at the top of the ten talked about what a
great guy Grady Little is. When we try to get
Grady on the show some night, I think he was
(00:48):
he was not given a good chance here in Boston.
I think he was a real gentleman. And again I
think he could have easily won two or three World Series.
Obviously was succeeded.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
By Oh it was Let's say it wasn't Francona or Francona,
it was Oh God, the guy that was that didn't
have a lot of success. Bobby Valentine pretty sure. Bobby
Valentine was between Grady Little and Terry Francona. And then
last time we talked about institutions that you've missed here
(01:23):
in Massachusetts and for that matter, New England. You know,
so we're gonna we're going to continue on that theme.
If you want to talk about institutions that you miss
that would be fine. That was a very strong hour
and there were a lot of folks. We talked with
the State Treasurer of the Comwealth straight technically the state
Treasurer and receive a general deb Goldberg and she dropped
(01:48):
by which we always a delightful she's delightful to talk
to and a good friend and someone who is actually
doing a great job as the Treasurer of the Comwealth.
And I do not compliment every politician, only the ones
I like. But I want to since today's Friday the thirteenth,
every year we have one or two Fridays the thirteenth.
(02:11):
If you look at a calendar example, I'm just thinking that, okay,
we've had a Friday the thirteenth, Our next Friday the thirteenth.
When you think about it.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
It's going to take a while, and of course the
reason for that is the way the calendar works, and
it's only be like seven or eight months before you
get at least Yeah, okay, we'll have a Friday the
thirteenth in June. That'll be one Friday the thirteenth for
next year. But then we probably won't have another one. No, no, no,
we're gonna get by here. Maybe is there one more
(02:42):
coming that's really going to have one? It looks like, yeah,
there'll only be one Friday the thirteenth, it'll be in June.
So I thought tonight I'd like to find out from you.
I you superstitious. There's a pointed time where I think
everybody had superstitions, but the superstitions the black cats, walking
(03:09):
under the ladders and all of that. So I'm going
to give you an opportunity to talk about are you superstitious?
When you woke up today? Will you more conscious of
today's date and day of the week because it's a
Friday the thirteenth. That's my first question. And then if
you were, why have you ever had a bad experience
(03:30):
on a Friday the thirteenth. I've had a couple of
bad experiences on Friday the thirteenth, to be honest with you,
but I also will still give folks an opportunity to
call in about what they miss. An institution, an event
that they miss. It could be anything. It could be
(03:51):
an athlete that you miss. There are athletes that we
watched them for years and they go away, and it's
like you say, gee, what ever happened to so and so?
Or is there a Hollywood person? But mostly a New
England institution? Something you miss. We talked a lot about
(04:12):
restaurants last hour, so feel free join the conversation. We're
just gonna get you all the way till midnight. It's
a Friday, Friday the thirteenth, heading into the weekend. Patriots
are back in action sat on Sunday, which is a
good thing. And we were a week closer to Christmas
(04:33):
and Hanukkah and all the other holidays and the New Years.
The sand in the hour glass of twenty twenty four
is now starting to stream away, and before you know it,
it will be it will be January first, twenty twenty five.
The years just peel off that calendar. Okay, let me
get to Vince in Brock and Vince is going to
(04:54):
start us off this hour. He Vince, how are you tonight? Welcome?
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Hi Dan, I'm good in you.

I'm doing great, Vents. Appreciate your calling in. You can
talk about superstitions or you can talk about something that
that you miss here in the greater Boston area or
New England. But which would it be here? You do both?
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Then.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
I was born in Haiti, moved to Boston, specifically in
High Park. Dinner I've if I'm dinner I have in
High Park.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Absolutely. I grew up in Readville.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
Okay, yes, that's I grew up in the area, And
I mean I grew up playing soccer, watching soccer. He
was when I went to college, I started watching football,
and it's just McNair was my fairflick quarterback.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Oh sure that he he if I'm not mistaken. Was
Houston right?
Speaker 6 (05:49):
He was?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Uh played for Houston.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
And the Titans before that, Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
All right, yeah maybe, well yeah, I think that didn't
the Titans moved from Houston. I'm gonna look mcneir up here,
because I know you're right in that. Did he have
a pretty good career? You know? Maybe it was let
me let me get how did why did mcner become
your favorite? Do you have a do you have a
connection with him at all?
Speaker 4 (06:17):
No? I guess I was born in Hey. I just
as song Arms, the kind of quite a bad player
or person that you was, you know back then, did
I mean? I was coming to you as do love
and my friends from college they got me into football,
and that's how I got into football.
Speaker 1 (06:37):

the Tennessee Oilers and then of course became the current
Tennessee Titans. So yeah, uh he had ah, he had
a Super Bowl season in nineteen nineteen, nineteen ninety nine.

Yeah yeah he He also played with the Baltimore Ravens
as well. We forget about some of that stuff. But
two years in Houston, a long time in Tennessee, ten
years in Tennessee, uh, and then finished up with Baltimore
Hall of Fame. I assume he's in the Hall of
Fame because he should be at this point in my opinion.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Oh what about you know he passed away.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Though, Yeah, I did not realize that. That's Yeah, it
says his death here, which which surprises me because I've

I got both? I got an in proportion that you'll know.
Everybody in the mid misses this. It is Benny's of Dennisport.
Do you remember Benny's?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
You know, I don't. I haven't been on the Cape
as long as you have. Was this a restaurant? I assume? No?
Speaker 7 (10:13):
No, it was, Oh my god. It was like a
hardware store. Whatever you needed, whatever you needed.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
In the house.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
You going to Benny's. You never left empty handed. And
people in Dennisport and the Midgate we still talk about it,
how we missed Benny's. So anyway, superstition, Friday the thirteenth.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
It is my favorite day.
Speaker 7 (10:35):
Because my birthday occasionally falls on Friday the thirteenth. It was,
so it's by ring day.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Okay, So wait a second, So what is your birth
Your birthday is in December thirteenth, is it? No?
Speaker 7 (10:48):
No, no, it's November thirteenth. It won't come on Friday
until I think twenty twenty six. It was it like
every six years or something.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Well, I think what happens is, when you think about it,
we should have a Friday the thirteenth every seven months
now because months and in different days at the combination
can change. But for example, the next Friday the thirteenth
is in June next year twenty twenty five, and there
(11:20):
are no other Friday the thirteenth in the entire November.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
But November thirteenth falls on a Friday. I think every
sixth or seven years or something because of lap year.
I never really calculated it.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Well, yeah, what happens is when it's three hundred and
sixty five days in the year, that pushes the calendar
ahead one year. So next year is twenty fifth, So
a year from tonight it's going to be Friday and
it's going to be in December, but it's going to
be December twelfth because it was in alyp Ya. And
(12:00):
two years from now, I can tell you that that
Friday will be December eleventh. It just works that way.
But yeah, but what do you think about it that
there's seven days in a week, so on any given
month it should have a one in seven chance of
being being a Friday being on the thirteenth.
Speaker 7 (12:15):
Right exactly. So anyway, next time, maybe next time you're
down the cape, though, next time you're down the cape,
any ask any of your longtime neighbors, ask him about
Bennie's of Dennis Port.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
All right, when did that business when a business?
Speaker 7 (12:32):
Oh my god, it's got to be at least ten
years ago. I mean Ocean State and not Ocean State.
Job lot was in there, some other place that tried
to go in. Nothing else has been able to stay.
It's whatever's in there now. I think it's job lots,
and I think that's gone. So everybody wants a market
basket to go in there.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Oh that's in Dennis right, I know, yeh, right.
Speaker 7 (12:56):
Right on twenty eighth.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Yeah, oh, I know.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Exactly where that is. Yeah, it's a big there's a
big set of lights, and then there's a fork in
the road south.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
Exactly go beyond it. Right, that's where Ocean State is.
But just go go right through Dennis Sports Center and
about another block or two in the rest right after
Babo's trying a show, got it.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
I know exactly where it is. I know we'd love
to see a market basket in there.
Speaker 7 (13:18):
Well yeah, all.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Right, Hey, I have a great, great, great weekend. And
what do you do you celebrate Christmas? Or do you
celebrate what's your what's your holiday?

I'm doing great? Thank you for calling. Always great to
hear from from someone from Lynn. Go ahead, sir.
Speaker 8 (14:22):
Oh yeah, Well I go way back. I grew up
in the North End. Then I worked in the Financial
District in Boston and there's a couple of restaurants, the
Newspaper Hangouts and the old Bell in Hand on Devonshire Street.
Were you familiar with that.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
No, that's that goes back aways.
Speaker 8 (14:45):
Give me a sixty eight Monty. Monty was the name
of the fellow in there. It was around sixty eight
when when I started working. And of course I'm a
product of the three martini lunch.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Yes, there were a lot of free martini. How did
you guys ever work in those days.
Speaker 8 (15:05):
Well, well, you know, I gave out a lot of
printing throughout the city and they would the printers would
take me out to lunch. So you know, I could
go as I'm going out with a client and you
would go back to the office and then you'd have
(15:26):
your three martinis. Then you smoke a cigar. It was
crazy in those days, and no one complained about the
cigar smoke, by the way, so I was.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Yeah, so I was still in college law school. So
I don't know that I've ever even had a martini
in my life. I'm a cors beer guy, of course,
light actually or red wine. But how I know what
goes into a martini? How could you build up the
ability to have three martinis and do anythink functional in
(16:01):
the afternoon.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
You didn't do that, oh anyway. And then there was
Warmitts on Devonshire Street. No, I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Warms the sixties, late sixties, How long? How deep into
the seventies did these go?
Speaker 8 (16:23):
Only the the bell in hand and Warmitts. Warmitts went
out in sixty eight, nineteen sixty eight. And it was
right across the street from the Herald on uh on
Devonshire Street. No, Devonshire Street, he.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Was I thought that was on Harrison.
Speaker 8 (16:45):
Nope, well this was maybe it's way back all right?
Well anyway. Then then there's the European on Hanover Street.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Sure, the European absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 8 (16:58):
Now that was The prices were terrific and everything was great,
I mean, and then that went out. Now these are
all out of business. The Red Coach Grill in Saugus,
remember that.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I remember the Red Coach grill that was. There were
a bunch of Red Coach grills around. Absolutely those were
those were I can remember as a kid, my family
took our neighbors, the Gordon's, to red Red Coach grill
and it was like I thought we were driving to Montana,
(17:35):
you know, And I think it was the Red Coach
Grill in Whaland or someone who was. This was like
cities and towns I had never heard of. I mean, yeah, yeah, wow.
So yeah, Well, I gotta ask you, Steve. I don't
know if you've called before, but I'm fascinated. Yeah you
have Okay, first of all, stunt that you're still alive
(17:58):
after all those three But but where did you retire?
Speaker 8 (18:05):
Oh? Maybe six or seven years ago? I worked for Well,
you know, I called you a while back. I wrote
a book and I got I started talking. You had
just come back from Ireland and you were I think
you And it was one of those nights you you
had to throw something together. And I got on the
(18:25):
phone and I overcome. I said, I'm so damn nervous.
I got to talk to Dan and I had fifteen
things going through my mind and it didn't go well.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
So did I have you I have you on as
a guest during.
Speaker 8 (18:39):
The Yeah, you did, and I it was horrible. Yeah,
I just messed up. I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Let me let me give you a second chan hold
on for a second, let me give a second chance.
I just got back from Ireland. Tell me the title
of your book, uh not then Journey. Oh I remember that.
I remember you now, Steve Sure your son sent me
a copy of the book, I think, right.
Speaker 8 (19:03):
Right, right, yes, yes, if we started talking about restaurants
in the North End and you were you were saying,
everything's so expensive today, and then you get this little
little piece of meat on a plate, and you know,
and in the old days you had plenty of food
and it was terrific.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
And then the look we got, Steve, what about Look
one of my two favorite restaurants in the North End
Joe Tecchi's right.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
And.
Speaker 8 (19:36):
Yes, I've been to both of them. And I went
to Saint Mary's School with Saltecci in the not.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Then is one great American? How are you still? I
haven't talked to Sally in a long time.
Speaker 8 (19:52):
Yeah, you know, I went in to talk to him,
uh in the North End and they all hung out
in this place and it was called the Oh gosh,
it was it was a golf club or something, and
they were all in there smoking cigars and playing cards
and I and I met him, uh and uh anyway,
(20:17):
and all he said to me was was we went
to Saint Mary's School together. And he says, what I
could in school, he said, I think I think I
think they threw him out of school and his father
sent him off. Uh.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I think I think you're right in that. I think
he went to a prep school or something prep.
Speaker 8 (20:36):
School, right, and he and that's that's all I remember.
But but and and quickly, there's Rita's place in Chelsea.
Did you ever go there?
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Yes, yeah, I've heard of that. Yep, I've been there too.
Actually I thought of it though it was. I think
of it's more as being in East Boston. If it's
the same one we're thinking about.
Speaker 8 (20:55):
Oh, yeah, you're right, it is. It's well, it's no,
it was in Chelsea right on the line of these podcast.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Well, I know, I h a friend of mine uh
suggested that and was and I don't know if it's
still there, but it was excellent. It was excellent.
Speaker 8 (21:10):
Yeah, So anyway, I thought, you know, I wasn't anything
good on DV and I said, oh my gosh, I'm
going to miss this because I've got all these places.

He was in the television business. He was in management,
and he also would have a martini lunch. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (21:35):

water glass. Oh so anyway, and the best martini is

thirty six one seven ninety. I got some lines here.
You're Friday the thirteenth, Superstitions. Okay, this is a twentieth hour.
If you don't fill it up on your Friday the thirteenth, superstitions.
(24:00):
We will go to some other topic. But I got
Lewis and Dorchester, George and Boston. I don't know what
happened to Joe, but Joe, call back and we'll get
you on. I know exactly who who Joe is. Feel free.
He's a he's a he's a veteran caller and he
must have been pulled away to do something to miss
a call here on Nightside. Here comes the news at
(24:22):
the bottom of the hour. Stay with us. We'll take
you right until midnight. The only lines open now are
of swear to guard right now. Six one seven will
get you on the ear. Those are the only two
lines open. We'll be back on night Side.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
You're on to Night's Side with Dan Ray on wz
Boston's news radio.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Back to the phones we go on this Friday the thirteenth.
Hopefully you've made it through the day. We only have
about twenty two minutes left. Let's talk with Lewis and Dorchester. Lewis,
how are you tonight?
Speaker 9 (24:56):
I'm doing fine. Dan, how are you?
Speaker 1 (24:58):
I'm doing Jess grat superstitious on this Friday the thirteenth, Nah.
Speaker 9 (25:04):
Not really, but uh, I recollect that one year. I
don't know what year was, I'm seventy one years old.
There was two or three Friday the thirteenth in one year.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Well, you're absolutely right, and I'll tell you why that happened. Okay, February,
as you know, normally, except in a leit leap year, only
has twenty eight days. Right, So if you get a
Friday the thirteenth in a non leap year, and you
get a Friday the thirteenth in February and it is
(25:38):
a non leap year, you're going to automatically have a
Friday the thirteenth in March, right, yep.
Speaker 9 (25:44):
Because of the twentieth there was at least three, three
or one.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Yeares absolutely, so then you have a pretty good shot
at having another Friday the thirteenth. And when you think
about it, March has has three extra days because it's
a thirty first yep. April has two extra days, but
then May has three extra days. So now you're up
to Now you're at eight, which really means one. So
(26:10):
you add two for June, you add three four July,
you're at six, but then you add three for August.
That's another three. So you're back now to nine, so
now you're really up two in September, you you add
(26:30):
two and then you add three for October. And if
you get a Friday the thirteenth in February of a
non leap year, you're going to get a Friday the
thirteenth in March automatically, and you'll get Friday the thirteenth
in October. So you are absolutely right. That is the
combination that gives you three Friday the thirteenth in the
(26:51):
same year. I figured it out for you.
Speaker 8 (26:53):
Okay.
Speaker 9 (26:57):
Also, then, I know everybody probably know this, and some
some of the hotels don't have a thirteenth floor.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
That is correct, because that's the superstition.
Speaker 9 (27:08):
Yeah yeah. And also I used to work Charlene pop
apartment complex and they went from eleven to fifteen. They
didn't have a thirteenth number, you know really yeah, yeah, Actually.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
It'll be by the way me correct myself. Let me
correct myself, it won't be October, it's November. So if
you get a Friday the thirteenth in February of a
non leap year, you're going to get a Friday the
thirteenth in March, and then you get a Friday the
thirteenth in November. Works every time. What did you tell me?
Speaker 4 (27:46):
So?
Speaker 1 (27:47):
What did you do with that? Where you worked? I
interrupted you and I apologize.
Speaker 9 (27:51):
I was a maintenance mechanic.
Speaker 1 (27:55):
And what sort of did you do? Everything that you
have a special?
Speaker 8 (27:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:58):
I did.
Speaker 9 (27:58):
I did grounds and grounds work and paint. I was
a painter by trade, so I did a little bit
of everything.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
Now you retired by now?
Speaker 9 (28:08):
Or no?
Speaker 8 (28:08):
You say, yeah?
Speaker 9 (28:09):
Oh yeah, long time, long time. Well I lost my vision,
so I'm visually imperd Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
To hear that, Lewis, you sound much too young. You
have the voice of a fifty year old.
Speaker 9 (28:19):
Yeah, no, seventy one. You're all born in fifty three.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Okay, yeah, I got that. That's good. Math. Are you enjoying?
Are you enjoying your retirement?
Speaker 9 (28:30):
Oh? Yes?
Speaker 1 (28:31):
Okay? Do you have some vision, Lewis?
Speaker 9 (28:33):
Or or when you say no, really okay? You know
vision is twenty twenty right?
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (28:40):
Vision? Okay, my left eye is twenty two hundred, My
right eye is twenty one hundred. That's not bad, we
mean not bad. The bigger than number the worst your
vision is you know?
Speaker 8 (28:55):
No, no, I know that, but.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
But Lewis Lewis, those those numbers do you have? Do
you know?
Speaker 9 (29:02):
Okay, put it this way. I got gaucoma, so my vision. Okay,
that could be a complicated, but surely you know.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
No, I hear you, I hear you. Are you being
seen by an ophthalmologist?
Speaker 6 (29:14):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (29:15):
Yes, I'm being seen by a glaucoma specialist.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
You know, good? Perfect?
Speaker 9 (29:20):
Okay, okay, okay, legally blind says twenty two thousand and two.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Wow, I will tell you normally those numbers. Maybe again,
maybe it's the glaucoma. That's glaucoma that's causing the problem
those numbers. Normally, there's a lot of kids who get
you know, they turned at thirteen to fourteen and their
vision is like that, and they get contact lenses and
they get twenty twenty vision. But I'm not dealing with glaucoma.
Speaker 9 (29:48):
So that's probably Cooma's a different different man.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Well, I wish you what do you celebrate this later
this month? What's your holiday?
Speaker 9 (29:58):
I just celebrate days, celebrate them all. Yep.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Oh do you celebrate Christmas?
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Uh?
Speaker 9 (30:07):
Not really I used to.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
But well, I wish holiday. I wish you're happy holiday.
Speaker 9 (30:14):
But but Dan remember we're telling you about the numbers. Yeah,
it went, it went all all odd numbers was on
that side. So it went from from three, five, seven, nine, eleven, fifteen,
did it went to went to seventeen?
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Yep, sky all right, all right, all right this yeah,
so there's no no, uh no floor thirteen at the
hotels are like that? Due absolutely yes, yes, Lewis my.
Speaker 9 (30:48):
Friend, thirteenth floor, no thirteen floor.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
