Especially and the Jamin Morisa with DJ Foreign and Santi.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
When you need to know, we got you three things
you need to know on Bunton's number one for hip
hop and the best throwbacks you haven't any more? Five
all right, Babes, Monday, April seventh. And this story out
of Mass General Brighams is insane, Like I I've read
(00:24):
it a couple of times, and I'm just I want answers.
I know they want answers as to how something like
this could happen or what's going on. But multiple nurses
at the Newton Hospital were diagnosed with brain tumors. The
hospital has confirmed after an investigation, while the nurses union
says the environmental testing you know, into the cause was
(00:47):
not quote comprehensive, meaning like they didn't really get an
answer as to why it happened. But five nurses, five
of them have been diagnosed with non cancerous brain tumors.
Five now, they interviewed eleven staff members who worked on
that floor, the maternity floor, by the way, and the
(01:08):
other six didn't have tumors, but they had health issues.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
I mean, I think it's too early to know what
all these machines and all these like signals that are
going with whatever they're using in that hospital. What the
long term effects of all that stuff is. But clearly
it's affecting something.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Bro, it's the maternity flow. Yeah, So if it's affecting
the nurses, what is it doing to the baby?
Speaker 4 (01:29):
The literal baby?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
And then they come out and say it was nothing
environmental obviously, I mean it is, guys, come on right,
obviously it is any other floor obviously.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
And for it to be something so specific like brain tumors.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
Yeah, actually foreign.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
There is a there's a different article that I've read
today that there might be some connections to other floors
and other hospitals that have also had things like this happened.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Crazy and who knows what the chemicals do and what
all the stuff that's happening in there. I mean, I've
had a long like theory like what does wi fi
do to us? And what's that going to do for
us in like thirty four years? Like you have no idea?
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Is microwaving your food? Dudes? Yeah? Like every day?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yeah, I know. And the labor and delivery nurses are
angels steps from up above. I cannot I cannot even
tell you how just amazing those women are.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
This is just it's the craziest I five five of them.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Yeah, that's crazy to think about it, No, it really is.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
And you know this happened at the end of last year.
I know I had even seen some stories where they
started doing the investigation in December. So I don't know
how long this is going on, why it took so
long for it to come out. But you know, we
have so many nurses that listen to the show. Sometimes
we have people call in and say that they've worked
at mass General. So you know, if you know anybody
(02:53):
or you're involved in this in somehow some way, of course,
feel free to call and fill us in a little
bit better. But you know, again, I can't even imagine
how much they want answers.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
We want answers like what's going on.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
I just hope that the hospital is taking a step
back and being like, something's wrong here, let's figure out.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
What you know? They are. Yeah, this is giving like
Gray's Anatomy. It sounds fake, and that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Like on Gray's Anatomy, you get a splinter and then
you go in they're like, oh, I'm sorry, we have
to cut your finger off. We actually have to amputate
your arm. Actually, we have to cut your whole body off,
but we'll leave your head. You can walk around in
your head. That's what this feels like. It feels like
it's fake. So we'll keep you posted as we learn
new things.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
But awful.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
On another total different page, let's talk some good news.
Congratulations to ucon women's basketball.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
And there's the buzzer. It's an even a dozen Pertino
Oriema kid. The final page in the Book of Tuggers
is titled number twelve. For you god file.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
The final page in the Book of Beckers was pretty
good right there. Didn't either of you watch it? Form
is probably at home. It absolute blowout domination eighty two
fifty nine, the twelfth championship for Gino. But they hadn't
really won a title since twenty sixteen, not hadn't really
hadn't won a title since twenty sixteen, so it was
nice to see Gino back up there. Gino is just
such a lover of the sport, but just a lover
(04:21):
of women that work hard in the sport and just
women in general.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
That's my guy.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
I love him. I love where women's basketball is at
right now. People enjoy watching it. It's being watched period,
so that's nice.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
And he's the greatest coach of all time.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
I assume.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and give him that that title.
I watched it did which channel? Did you watch it on?
Speaker 5 (04:44):
On ABC?
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Okay, I watched it on ESPN.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
It's super Bird and Diana Tarasi do it and they
drink the whole time.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Pretty hilarious. And you know Diana's a good look at
woman one on top, yes, yeah, Les beyond Diana.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Is a good looking woman.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yeah, they're not together right, No, no, but they played together,
didn't and then and it's.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Funny because you have two Yukon grads, you know, obviously
they want Yukon to win. And a little fun facts
for everybody. Tell everybody the fun facts on about who's
sag the national anthem?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Oh it is Alea Brown who I used to work with.
Who's here from Boston? Yeah, and I don't think she's
on the radio like anymore, but she's a local girl. Yeah,
played at PC.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Her radio story was crazy, she was she had just
had her second kid. She came back and they.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Let her go.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah awful, really no, Like I can't even imagine that
I actually had had breakfast with her shortly after and
just like talking to her about that and how that
would feel.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
But she voice of an angel.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, yeah, that was she was on Idol. I think
it was in twenty ten. I think made it to
the top twelve.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, if we're being ourselves, we're being frank Alfit was
no good for me.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
But the voice was unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
The voice was.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Great, Her voice was great. But the yellow for a
Sachi jacket I loved. After that, I was like, she
dated herself.
Speaker 7 (06:04):
Yeah, we would say we would say about anybody else,
I say, girl, she would actively say she doesn't care
about that stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I wish she called us, just like I wish we
weren't enjoying the journey at Foornce.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
You don't call anybody alright.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
And lastly, Chris, by the way, Men's Championship tonight teams
at like midnight, so nobody's gonna be watching it, but
I'll let you know who wins tomorrow morning.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Chris Brown is going on tour.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I was telling fore, and there's so much chatter about
Chris and this tour and if people are going or not,
and if it's right to go or not. But Chris
wants to make it clear if you are going, he
wants no negative energy at the show. And he responded
to a couple fans of his who were saying they
(06:55):
were gonna wear red bandanas. Do you get it we
associated with the Bloodyeah, he said, I see a lot
of fans collectively telling Team Breezy to wear red bandanas
to the concert.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
I would highly advise y'all not to do that.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Just get brown bandanas so y'all won't run into any problems.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
I don't want people to get the wrong oppression and
promote the wrong thing.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Y'all know I'm Team Breezy, but we're promoting positivity on
this tour.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Thank you, and I love you all.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
But he's also not saying not to wear the blue
ones too. Is that what I say?
Speaker 5 (07:28):
He's not associated with the blue all right?
Speaker 4 (07:32):
Oh okay, I was wondering that.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
So he's like, I see what you're doing, but let's
not let's not at the show.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Just to be clear, I don't wrap any set.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Just also be clear, how do you become Like what
do I do to become a Blood?
Speaker 5 (07:47):
I mean mostly initiation is you get your ass? Whooped?
Speaker 4 (07:50):
I'm done? I am you know what journey. I'm enjoying
the one that's not involved with the blood.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
You've got to squabble up.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
And he also said he's bringing back the the vip meats.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
I don't know how much.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
You spend one thousand dollars. Fine, you get to tongue them.
You have to make out with him. He'll hold your butt.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Hell you want you want to make your man jealous,
you want somebody to.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Think you're dating. No, anything you want. Chris is down
thousand bucks. It'll cost it. I pray he brings those back.
