00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: It's nice side with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Boston's

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: niche radio.

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 2: Thanks Al, great job tonight. So open lines now and

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to that. Many of you wisely wait

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 2: to call for the open lines so you can have

6
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 2: more time. Excuse me, that's fine. I do have a

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 2: story to tell and have some questions for you. The

8
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: story I will tell at some point is the story

9
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 2: of the vending machine disaster. And I'm not talking about, oh,

10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 2: can't get the candy out of the vending machine. I'm

11
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: talking about a full blown disaster that I witnessed today.

12
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: It's the nightmare of every vending machine operator. Intrigued, well,

13
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: stick around, and before I go to David in San Francisco,

14
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 2: just an observation, Why aren't all screws Allen screws. Why

15
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: does anyone ever make a regular flathead screw? They are awful.

16
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: They just slip off. They're awful. And even if Philip

17
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: said screw they get stripped so easily you're gonna get

18
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: the right exact size, and you never know which one

19
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 2: is the right size, and then tell the screws stripped.

20
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: Whereas the Allen wrench screws, the Allen screws. You can

21
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: tighten them down, they never strip. They look better. I

22
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 2: don't I just don't get. I know, no one's going

23
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 2: to have an answer to that one. I just don't

24
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: get why every screw is not an Alan screw. I

25
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: just had to get that Outum. I do have a

26
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: question for you too that might you might use your

27
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: open line time here to talk about if you want,

28
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: and that is, given the information we've heard tonight in

29
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: the previous hour about what Sweden is like, would you

30
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 2: if they would just give you citizenship, which is not

31
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: going to happen, but if they did, they said, you know,

32
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 2: we like you, missus Jones. We're inviting you to come

33
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 2: and be a citizen here and you can even bring

34
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: your family. Would you prefer the cradle to grave lifestyle

35
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 2: with lots of rules and lots of taxes, but you

36
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 2: get taken care of education, health care, healthy, healthy lifestyle.

37
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: Would you prefer that? Or would you prefer the cowboy

38
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 2: rugged individual You're on your own if you can't make it,

39
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: you sleep on the street. World that we live in

40
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: here a lot of pluses and minuses on both. If

41
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: they would give you citizenship, you get all the benefits

42
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 2: over there. You can take all the money you have here,

43
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: put it in the bank, spend it. Would you do that? Interesting?

44
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 2: I think a lot of Americans fear it would be boring,

45
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 2: That's what I think. They fear it would be cold,

46
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 2: And I think they fear it would be boring. But

47
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: if it's that's the case, why are they so down happy?

48
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 2: And now I sense some of you saying, well, they're

49
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: not happy. They just think they're happy. Well, why don't

50
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: we think we're happy here? Again, ask anybody out there,

51
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: greatest country in their world, America? Are you happy with it? No? People,

52
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 2: even though they will say it's the greatest country in

53
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 2: the world, are unhappy on both sides and in the middle.

54
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 2: Would you go and pull up stakes and move to Sweden?

55
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: If you could give them the information you heard in

56
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: the last So it's open lines. You can talk about

57
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: anything at all. It's David in San Francisco. He's our

58
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: San Francisco treat. How do you do?

59
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 3: Bradley? Happy New Year? First of all, thank you and

60
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 3: your show tonight is excellent. I love it. But the

61
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 3: show you had yesterday was very good too. You had

62
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 3: that psycho, I mean, that therapist, so on help you

63
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 3: quit smoking. Well, I smoked cigarettes for fifty eight years,

64
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 3: got two packs a day, and ended up giving me

65
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 3: a bladder cancer. Yeah, and the way I quit was

66
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 3: I was in the hospital getting the treatment for bladder

67
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 3: cancer and there's no smoking in the hospital. I was

68
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 3: in there for a week and that's what broke me.

69
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 3: That's what made me stop smoking. And the only real

70
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: urge I have now is either after sex or after eating,

71
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 3: and I get the U. I had a girlfriend about

72
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 3: four or five years ago, she says, David smoke after sacks.

73
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 3: I said, Mary, I'm uh, I don't know. I never

74
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,239
Speaker 3: bothered to look.

75
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: And if if we had a clap track, I would

76
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: play it. That's very funny. If we had laughter, a

77
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: laughter soundtrack, a laugh track, we'd played that.

78
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, but your show yesterday was very enlightening to me

79
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 3: because I've already quit smoking. But and it's very very

80
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 3: good for me because I still have the bladder cancer.

81
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 3: But I'm glad I quit because I haven't have a

82
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 3: cigarette like eight years now, and I'm very proud of

83
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 3: that too.

84
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 2: Well, I told you I quit from getting hit no time,

85
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 2: and it worked for me.

86
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, did you gain any weight when you quit smoking. Yeah, yeah,

87
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 3: I gained a little bit. I exercised place today only

88
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 3: minutes twice a day. And uh and I watched my diet.

89
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 3: I get meals on wheels. That's very good food.

90
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 2: And I watched my diet too. I watched myself eat

91
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:10,039

Speaker 2: You you do, God bless you. It's eleven twelve in

101
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 2: Uh that WBZ And that was Joe in Lynn.

102
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 4: Hello Joe, Hello Bradley, thank you for taking my call again.

103
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 4: I got three comments, I got a question. I enjoyed

104
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 4: your guest. But I don't know what happens when you

105
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 4: people use zoom. He's so distorted on the radio, not

106
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 4: on the phone. Maybe it's not your fault, but I

107
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 4: just want to let Rob know about it. Was the

108
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 4: story like you're too close to the phone. My answer

109
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 4: not you though not your fault. My answer, I would

110
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 4: move to Sweden in a heartbeat. I know they had

111
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 4: their problems and they let immigrants in, but I think

112
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 4: they've stopped it. And the Nordic countries and island they

113
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 4: have very little homeless. They take care of their people.

114
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 4: I would move to there in a heartbeat if someone

115
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 4: offered me learning and training and healthcare, because as you know,

116
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 4: I have prostate cancer and my insurance denied me today.

117
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 4: I can't take data Farber too much radiation, so I

118
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 4: don't know what I'm going to do.

119
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: I don't have you. Your insurance denied you. That means

120
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 2: you just can't get care.

121
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 4: I want to go to New York because there's a

122
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 4: doctor in New York who uses a different kind of treatment,

123
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 4: different kind of radiation. He's in private practice. But I'm

124
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 4: under CCA and they don't. Their Medicare is different than

125
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 4: regular Medicare, so all have to unenrolled go back to

126
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 4: regular medicare. And if I can get some help to

127
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 4: go to New York, I'll go to him. He has

128
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 4: his own radio show, like you guys do on it.

129
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: These fancy hospitals.

130
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 4: Well because he gets results that they don't. He has

131
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 4: patience that they've almost had their bladder removed, their tongue removed,

132
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 4: the adenoids removed, and he has helped him. He's been

133
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 4: in business for over fifty years. And I'm proud of David.

134
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 4: And that's why I'd like to give him a try.

135
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 4: Because I tried the radiation here. It's too much for

136
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 4: me Bradley. I couldn't even go to the bathroom properly.

137
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 4: It was hell, and I wouldn't recommend that for anybody.

138
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 4: They're not willing to try low dose like he is.

139
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 4: You see, this is what I mean. They're not willing

140
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 4: to try different things. Be flexible with you. I wouldn't

141
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 4: treat you that way. I wouldn't treat my friend from

142
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 4: Brighton that way. But that's the story on that. It's

143
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 4: a mess. We need good health care. I would go

144
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 4: to Sweden in a heartbeat. I enjoyed your guests the

145
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 4: first hour. I just wanted to compliment you and maybe

146
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 4: I'll call in next week. But thanks a bunch. I

147
00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 4: appreciate speaking with you.

148
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: I really liked speaking with you as well. I have

149
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 2: another Linn story, as you know. I used to go

150
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: on the radio station there, take the bus home in

151
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: the morning, I used to do a show. Couldn't go

152
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 2: home after the show because it was the buses had

153
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 2: stopped running. It was a wild West and Central Square

154
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 2: back in the eighties. The story is this, Uh before

155
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 2: the bus came, I went into a convenience store to

156
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 2: get something and a guy came in and he left

157
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: his He left his corvette and running outside the door

158
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 2: of the convenience store. This was early in the morning,

159
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 2: wintertime is still dark. He came in and he left

160
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: the car running, and somebody jumped in and drove it away,

161
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 2: and he pulled out a gun and chased after the guy.

162
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 2: So that was a wild West Central Square Lynn story.

163
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's gentrified.

164
00:09:58,800 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 5: Now.

165
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: Right after this, we'll go up to the cold north

166
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 2: of Ontario. I'm assuming it's Ontario, Canada, although there are

167
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: other ontarios. We'll find out after this.

168
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: On WBZ, You're on Night Side with Dan Ray on

169
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: WBZ Boston's News Radio.

170
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: Open Lines Now on WBZ, whatever you want to talk about.

171
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 2: I want to talk about six one, seven, two, five,

172
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 2: four ten thirty is the number six one seven, two,

173
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 2: five to four one oh three zero. Now we head

174
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,719
Speaker 2: to a and Ontario. I'm not sure which Ontario.

175
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 5: It is Hi, Paul, Hi Bradley, Happy New Year. I'm

176
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 5: calling from Burlington, Ontario, thirty miles west of Toronto. I

177
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 5: just wanted to tell you how much I've enjoyed your show.

178
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 5: I'm a big fan of Night Side. Dan Ray is

179
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 5: outstanding and you've done a wonderful job filling in for

180
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 5: him over the past eight or nine days whatever it is.

181
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 5: Really enjoyed the guests you've had, particular the guests talking

182
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 5: about the transit in the Boston area. Oh, we have

183
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 5: a lot of issues with regards to transit here in

184
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 5: southern Ontario, and I just found it very interesting to

185
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 5: hear how it's very much the same where you are.

186
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 5: You know, it's incredible. The population of the two areas

187
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 5: is probably pretty similar with regards to around Toronto. It's

188
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 5: about six and a half million people, and I think

189
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 5: the greater Boston area is probably in that area, and

190
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 5: many of the transportation issues are exactly the same.

191
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 2: By the way, everybody you might think it's a lot

192
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 2: colder up in Ontario, twenty one degrees in Ontario and

193
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 2: twenty one here in Boston. Exact same thing it is.

194
00:11:59,559 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 6: It is.

195
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 5: Our weather is pretty similar. It really is.

196
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 2: Myth myths about Canada. What are some things that Americans

197
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 2: get wrong about Canada.

198
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 5: One of the things that always kind of astounds me

199
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 5: is how Canada is referred to as being a socialist country. Uh,

200
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 5: there are certain aspects of our nation that are are socialist,

201
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 5: but we're not completely socialist. Our medicine is socialized, and

202
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 5: you know, from a personal aspect, for my family, that's

203
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 5: been really good because we've we've had health issues in

204
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 5: our family and thankfully we haven't been in a position

205
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 5: where we've gone bankrupt because of huge medical bills. So

206
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 5: we're very thankful for the medical system that we have

207
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 5: up here. Is it perfect, Absolutely not, But if you

208
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 5: become really ill, you are taken care of. And you know,

209
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 5: I can only say for our family, we've been very

210
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 5: blessed to have that happen, that we've been taken care of.

211
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 5: The other thing, you know, Toronto it is very very

212
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 5: much like most American cities, with the exception I think

213
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 5: our crime levels are lower. As I said, Metropolitan Toronto

214
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 5: has about six and a half million people, the city

215
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 5: of Toronto just under three million people, and we did

216
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 5: not have fifty murders in twenty twenty five, we were

217
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 5: under fifty murders. If you were to compare us to

218
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 5: a Chicago or not to Chicago or New York or

219
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 5: Los Angeles, that's a very small number. So you know that.

220
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 5: I think that's something that a lot of people in

221
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 5: the US may not realize about Canada.

222
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 2: But under fifty murders in Toronto in twenty twenty five.

223
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying, in the city of Toronto. I'm

224
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 5: talking about the actual city, which is just under three

225
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 5: million people.

226
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,199
Speaker 2: I don't know which that seems kind of under three million,

227
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 2: all right, all right.

228
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 5: All right, yeah, the city just under three load to me.

229
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 2: But okay, I'm.

230
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 5: You don't take fifty murders is low.

231
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 2: I don't know the stats for everywhere, but I live

232
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 2: in Boston.

233
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 5: Well, I can only compare it to let's say, Chicago,

234
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 5: where they've had well over I think over five hundred murders,

235
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,359
Speaker 5: and you know New York and in Philadelphia.

236
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: Let let's do this, someone, someone out there, do this.

237
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 2: Look up how many murders in Greater Boston in twenty

238
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 2: twenty five for me, and don't lie. I have the

239
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 2: time to do it because I'm talking to you. I

240
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 2: could I could tell you what I don't want to

241
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 2: Somebody looked that up and give me a call and

242
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 2: let me know I have a question a few before

243
00:14:55,480 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: you go it. Yeah, according to what I read, the

244
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 2: tourism from Canada to the US has dropped off dramatically.

245
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 2: That's something like thirty. Is that because a angry at

246
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 2: our government for things they do and say, or be

247
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: afraid to get killed by getting shot.

248
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 5: I can actually speak quite candidly about that. It's one

249
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 5: particular individual who has created an atmosphere of in smister Trump.

250
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 5: And I'm not an anti Trumper. I think some of

251
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 5: what he does is very good. However, he has spoken

252
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 5: extremely negatively of Canada, you know, saying that we should

253
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 5: be the fifty first state and just criticizing our way

254
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 5: of life, our government, and you know, with regards to

255
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 5: the tariffs and such. And it's so unfortunate because my

256
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 5: wife and I've been to the US so many times

257
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 5: and have been treated so well. We love the US,

258
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 5: but we won't go there while Trump's in office. Because

259
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 5: I go to a senior's center in Berlin from called

260
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 5: the Keeople of the people there have homes in Florida

261
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 5: where they go in the winter, and they have told

262
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 5: me that the atmosphere towards Canadians has changed dramatically to

263
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 5: the point where they don't feel comfortable going down there.

264
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 5: And it's so unfortunate because I've always felt the two

265
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 5: countries were, you know, so closely related and we're like brothers.

266
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 5: I really hope it changes. But I think a lot

267
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 5: of the media in the US is because of all

268
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 5: the attention that Trump gets with his comments, have turned

269
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 5: a lot of American people off Canadians. And it's really

270
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 5: unfortunate because I've always thought it was a tremendous relationship.

271
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 5: So yeah, that's the reason tourism overall.

272
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 2: Would you say that? And this is before many, you know,

273
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 2: President Trump, Americans are that Canadians are nicer or is

274
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 2: that a is that a myth?

275
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 5: I think Canadians are polite, but I actually very much

276
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 5: enjoy the directness of Americans. That's why I really enjoy

277
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 5: listening to a radio station in Boston as opposed to

278
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 5: a radio station in Toronto. I find that it's a

279
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 5: much more because people are willing to speak their minds

280
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 5: and say exactly what they think. It's far more interesting, So,

281
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 5: you know, We've always been treated well by Americans, and

282
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,959
Speaker 5: any Americans that come up here to visit Toronto have

283
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 5: always are very well behaved and polite, and we're happy

284
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 5: to have them because obviously it's great for our economy.

285
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 5: Well that I would say, you know, I just hope

286
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 5: it gets back to the way it was where can

287
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 5: We used to cross over the border into Buffalo and

288
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 5: western New York on a very regular basis. We haven't

289
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 5: been back since trump'ston in power, and I feel badly

290
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 5: about that because it's something we really enjoyed doing, and

291
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 5: I hope at some point in the near future we'll

292
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 5: be able to do it again.

293
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 2: All Right. While you were chatting, I was listening carefully,

294
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 2: but at the same time, I was looking up the

295
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 2: statistics for homicides in Boston in twenty twenty five. Okay,

296
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 2: and I can't be sure the population in Boston. I

297
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 2: saw a couple of sources that I didn't trust, so

298
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 2: I ignore them, But just the numbers of homicides Boston homicides up.

299
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 2: This is from the Boston Herald, an article by Colleen Cronin,

300
00:18:55,480 --> 00:19:01,479
Speaker 2: and that I was from December sixth, twenty twenty five. Yeah,

301
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 2: Boston homicide statistics up thirty six twenty twenty five. Give

302
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 2: a number here, Yep, we got a number. Wild Boston piece.

303
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 2: The statistics show a slight decline and overall crime there

304
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 2: were thirty three zero homicides in the city, up from

305
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 2: twenty two in twenty twenty four.

306
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 3: No.

307
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 5: Oh, that's actually that's not bad at all. Then, No,

308
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 5: I guess I'm I'm I'm thinking in terms of the

309
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 5: Chicagos of this world, and I didn't realize how safe

310
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 5: Boston is. We were in Boston a couple of years ago,

311
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 5: had a fantastic time and really enjoyed the city. So

312
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 5: I'm really glad to hear that that your crime is

313
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 5: under wraps. But again, really enjoyed the guests you've had

314
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 5: over the past couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to

315
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 5: Dan Ray being back because I think he's fantastic. But

316
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 5: I can see how you're a great, great guest host,

317
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 5: because I think you're very similar to Dan in the

318
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 5: way you treat people and in the variety of guests

319
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 5: you have, and I just want to compliment you on that.

320
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. I appreciate those comments, and I

321
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 2: always appreciate your call all.

322
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 5: Right, you take care of Bradley. I have a good one.

323
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 5: Bye bye.

324
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 2: Burlington, Ontario temperature twenty one, Boston temperature twenty one as well.

325
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 2: Let's take it a little ride around the world and

326
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 2: see what the temperatures are. It'll only be a second.

327
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 2: Franconia ten degrees. Oh still, that's not too bad for Franconia.

328
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 2: Dublin thirty three. They're on the water, Vilias, Lithuania twenty eight.

329
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 2: Up in Maine, Stonington, Maine, twenty down in Tangier, Morocco

330
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 2: fifty seven, Rome is fifty four. Madrid, which is terribly

331
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 2: hot in the summer, is forty five degrees. So pick

332
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 2: one after no, I guess I have time now, sure,

333
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 2: why not? I promise to tell you about a disaster,

334
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 2: A vending machine disaster. I happen to know a guy

335
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 2: named Phil and I asked him permission to use his name.

336
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 2: He's in the vending machine business. I don't know if

337
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: he owns, I don't know. He runs the business and

338
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: when something goes wrong, he's got to fix it. And

339
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 2: guess what happened. It was a soda machine, a beverage

340
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 2: machine that had his thermostat goes bad. And you know

341
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 2: what happens when a thermistat goes bad, Well, in this case,

342
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 2: it got really cold, really cold in that machine. So

343
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 2: it went beyond brisk, it went beyond icy cold, it

344
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 2: went to freezing cold. It went to explode. The SODA's cold.

345
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 2: You know how many sodas there in a vending machine?

346
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 2: A lot, depends on how full it is, but in

347
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 2: general a lot. And so a whole bunch of them exploded.

348
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 2: As I understand it, you could hear the explosions when

349
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 2: they exploded. And what happens is, of course these are sticky, awful,

350
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 2: horrible sticky. So imagine what you get when you ope,

351
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 2: you take the key and you open up your vending machine.

352
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 2: But before that you notice, ooh, why is there all

353
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 2: this gooey stuff running out onto the ground, onto the floor.

354
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 2: You open it up, and to your horror, if you're

355
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:51,360
Speaker 2: the owner of the machine, you see exploded cans, too

356
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 2: many to count, which means you have to empty out

357
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 2: all those cans, wash them all those cans, wash them

358
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 2: all remaining ones, then throw away the busted cans. And

359
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 2: I saw the exploded cans. It was like an M

360
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 2: eight had gone off, and them they were completely They

361
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 2: were just a little exploded. They were burst right open

362
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 2: on the side. And all that google gets into all

363
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 2: the machinery and the electronics of this machine, which has

364
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 2: got to be multi thousand dollars machine, right, And I

365
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 2: guess it's a nightmare to get You've got to try

366
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 2: to get in there somehow and clean sticky coca cola

367
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 2: goo off, this off everything, all those little pieces of machinery,

368
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 2: and what if it gets in the electronics and what

369
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 2: are you gonna do with that machine? Like the underside

370
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 2: of it's all goo. So there's a little disaster that

371
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: you didn't You probably never thought about that happening. The

372
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 2: only I talked to him and he said that's the

373
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 2: worst problem that can happen with a vending machine. But

374
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 2: then he stopped himself and said, no, that's the second

375
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 2: worst thing. The worst worst thing is if somebody tries

376
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 2: to rock the machine and it falls over on them

377
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 2: and kills them, which happens. So the little lesson there is,

378
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 2: don't do that. Don't tip back and forth a soda machine.

379
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,479
Speaker 2: If you put your money in and you don't get

380
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 2: a soda walk away, Which brings me to another question

381
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 2: for our open lines. Let's say you're in a vending machine.

382
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 2: We're at a vending machine that has these spiral the

383
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 2: spiral method of delivering the goods. You put your money in,

384
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 2: or you use your Apple pay or your credit card.

385
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 2: This is a side question. Are you comfortable using your

386
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 2: Apple pay or credit card in a vending machine yet?

387
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 2: But anyway, let's find out what kind of person you are.

388
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 2: Are you the kind of person after you put you

389
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 2: pay the money, and you push say D six for

390
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 2: a Kitcat bar, and he goes run, run, run, run.

391
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 2: The little little course grew goes around, run and run,

392
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 2: run and run and run, and then stops right at

393
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 2: the edge. It's like cliff hanging. It doesn't come out.

394
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 2: It's jammed up. Do you walk away? Or he had

395
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 2: double down and put more money in, hoping that you

396
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 2: will get two candy bars. I used to be the latter.

397
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 2: I used to I used to do the try to

398
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 2: get I mean, I paid for them both. I deserve

399
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 2: them both. I could eat the other one later, but

400
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 2: at least I wouldn't be out my candy bar money,

401
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 2: my one seventy five, which is a bargain, by the way.

402
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 2: But now I walk away because you know, I just

403
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 2: I'm not throwing good money after bad. It's really you

404
00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 2: really feel like an idiot when you put in tullar

405
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 2: seventy five cents, you don't get it. Then you put

406
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 2: in more and he goes around and around and around,

407
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 2: and that one gets jammed up to you think, oh

408
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 2: my god, how did I get this fire in life

409
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 2: being this stupid open lines. I have some more questions

410
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,119
Speaker 2: for you, and I'd love to hear from you, just

00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 2: I would love to listen. You don't have to be

413
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 2: a genius, you don't have to say something smart at all.

414
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 2: Just tell me what's up in your neck of the woods,

Speaker 7: By Happy New Year. I just wanted to. I was

429
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 7: a little bit sad there because I thought tonight was

430
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 7: your last night. So I'm very happy to hear you're

431
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 7: going to do another three nights next week. I think

432
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 7: the gentleman that called a few calls ago. I don't

433
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 7: want to put anybody down, and I won't, but he

434
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 7: puts you on a par with the Dan Ray and

435
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 7: you are in a class by yourself.

436
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I really really appreciate this. I'm uncomfortable with

437
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 2: the comparisons.

438
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 7: Okay, I won't maybe, I mean, yes, of course, first

439
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 7: I wanted I ask you, ask you uh on these

440
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 7: wonderful topics. I've been glued to the radio every night

441
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 7: for nine nights. Who puts this together? Does Easy supply

442
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 7: you with the staff? Or are you doing this yourself?

443
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 2: Good question?

444
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 7: Let me let me paquires the preparation.

445
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 2: Oh, let me paint the picture for you. There's a great,

446
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 2: great question. All Talk show hosts have different preparation methods,

447
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 2: but if you're going to do it well, it takes

448
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 2: a lot of preparations. So, uh, there are two parts

449
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 2: the show, really, the the the calls the caller apart,

450
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 2: like open lines or the segments without a guest and

451
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 2: segments with a guest. Now it's of course, Uh. The

452
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 2: news generates a lot of topic ideas, and then you

453
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 2: see something in the news and you try to get

454
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 2: a relevant guest, the best guests you can find, and

455
00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 2: that happily, Uh, we have a person to do that.

456
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 2: In the last few days it's been Karen Karen b

457
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 2: who has been the producer, and we talk and all

458
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 2: day and I'll see something in an article or the

459
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 2: news and say, oh, geez, it would be great to

460
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 2: get this person, or ooh, let's try to find a

461
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 2: guest on this subject, and then the producer springs into action.

462
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 2: So I work with both Karen and Marita who works

463
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 2: with Dan who they're both fantastic and excellent and it

464
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 2: was so grateful that they help out. Also, one big

465
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 2: thing is we have the master control operator, which is

466
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 2: tonight Rob Brooks, and that's a big deal. He's the

467
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 2: guy that answers the phone. There's a lot going on there.

468
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 2: You wouldn't believe the lights and all the buttons there

469
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 2: are in there, and all the stuff he's got to do,

470
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 2: including the podcast. And there are a number of master

471
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 2: control operators. Rob is one, and they're all wonderful. And

472
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 2: that's a big deal because in rock radio, I was

473
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 2: by myself. I had to do everything, like play the commercials.

474
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 2: Rob does that. And if you have to worry about

475
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 2: all that, oh, that's just awful because if you play

476
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 2: the wrong commercial or if you skip ahead and miss

477
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of commercials, you a buzzard meat. And

478
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 2: I was always afraid that that would happen. And so

479
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 2: you don't have to worry about anything that they're so

480
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 2: great here that they let you concentrate one on being

481
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 2: a great talk host, as the best you can be,

482
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,120
Speaker 2: and they give you the tools to do it. So

483
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 2: for that, I am grateful, and I tip my cap.

484
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 7: Nice. I did not listen to you on VCN. I

485
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 7: was working at whil Judge Jump Tarlow Station ninety nine,

486
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 7: Revere Beach Parkway at the time. I was working in radio,

487
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 7: but I didn't I wasn't a BC and listener. I

488
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 7: like their format they called it middle.

489
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 5: Of the Road.

490
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 7: Then I like J I V Music and so forth.

491
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 7: I was a fan of that type of thing. But

492
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 7: I became acquainted with you when you did the All

493
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 7: Night at d Z.

494
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 2: That's interesting that a radio station would choose a slogan

495
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 2: we're middle of the road.

496
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 7: Well, wasn't that a maybe before all news?

497
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 2: Is that station gone? By the way, I don't want

498
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 2: to talk about them face yes, So middle of the

499
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 2: road doesn't seem like a compelling slogan, Like what, I'm

500
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 2: really into that middle of the road station? What are

501
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 2: you into, Bob oh Man, I'm into middle of the

502
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 2: road doesn't If you have the boss, I would have

503
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 2: come up with something a bit different.

504
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, a little news, a little talk, a little of this,

505
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 7: and a little yeah. But I heard you on the

506
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 7: All Night at one point, and you just captured my attention.

507
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 7: I mean, you did, I think a two hours thing

508
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 7: on cleaning your apartment, actually cleaning your stove and your refrigerator.

509
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 7: I couldn't get over it.

510
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 2: Sounds like sounds like Seinfeld. There must have been more

511
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 2: to it than that. I can't imagine two hours on

512
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 2: cleaning your fridge must have.

513
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 5: Been it did like you do your trips.

514
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 7: You would go two hours or more talking about a

515
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 7: trip that you took.

516
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 2: Did I talk two hours about a trip? I shouldn't

517
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 2: argue with you because you're the you're you're the customer,

518
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 2: and you're always right. But I can't imagine.

519
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 7: I can't imagine I might be wrong on the time.

520
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 7: But it was a lengthy period of time where you

521
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 7: didn't you didn't didn't need to depend on phone calls, right, right, right,

522
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 7: And uh, that's what's so great about you. And that's

523
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 7: what I love about you. And that's why I cried

524
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 7: when you went off the air. We never know, don't

525
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 7: know the reason.

526
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 2: I appreciate it.

527
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 7: And I wrote, actually wrote you a letter.

528
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 2: Yes again, everything's perfect now. I love the way it

529
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 2: is now. So let's not let's not talk about that

530
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 2: because that was perfect. It's all worked out perfectly.

531
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,280

532
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:16,320

00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 2: We'll talk to Joanne and Wealtham and John and Boston

545
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 2: after this. I'm WBZ.

546
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ Boston's news radio.

547
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 2: Little factoid. It would probably be of interest to you,

548
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 2: but not necessarily along topic, especially now. I thought he

549
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 2: passed this bit of news onto you. And it's regardless

550
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 2: of what you think of RFK and being in charge

551
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 2: of health. I did hear that he is, and this

552
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 2: is not a joke. Gonna take lime disease seriously and

553
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 2: spend some spends resources on, you know, treating that. And

554
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 2: that's good because for the longest time this real disease,

555
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 2: lime disease was there was controversy over whether even even existed.

556
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,000
Speaker 2: There used to be a vaccine for it, but it

557
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 2: didn't for some reason. They got rid of it. But

558
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 2: it's a serious disease. It actually affects my life quite

559
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 2: a lot. Because I won't do anything where there are

560
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 2: going to be ticks, and that does curtail my summer

561
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 2: activity quite a lot. So there's that. Let's talk to

562
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 2: Joey and Waltham about anything thing at all.

563
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:05,920

Speaker 8: Yes, uh huh, good good. The gentleman before me when

00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,280
Speaker 8: two hours must have been after we spoke.

571
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 2: Why is that?

572
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 8: Well, you were always asking me about cleaning, but you

Speaker 2: do it. Shoveling inter with him.

602
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 8: Well, one time a doctor told him he will never

603
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 8: have a heart attack. You know, he had the I

604

00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 8: you'll never have a heart attack.

606
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 2: His always I have a cathoortization.

607
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,439
Speaker 8: Well, because his brother had one, so his brother thought

608
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 8: he should have one.

609
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 2: So he had a procedure with no symptoms or anything.

610
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 8: Well, he had a stress test and and it showed

611
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 8: a problem. But then they found out the stress test

612
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 8: was messed up, so he had it done for nothing.

613
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 8: And when the doctor told his brother, we were at

614
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 8: Mass General. The doctor told his brother, no, he'll never

615
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 8: have a heart attack.

616
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 2: His brother had an issue with an artery, so he

617
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 2: got a yeah, and he said to his brother, look,

618
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 2: I had one. Maybe you should get you out. He

619
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,919
Speaker 2: went to get checked out. He got a stress test,

620
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 2: and the stress test showed that there might be a problem.

621
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 2: So he got oh, he said, a catheter.

622
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:16,479
Speaker 8: You said, cathterization. Yeah, you know, to the heart.

623
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

624
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 8: Yeah.

625
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 2: The they went in there to check that's what that is,

626
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:25,720
Speaker 2: I guess. And so they said, oh, you have tremendous arteries.

627
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 2: You're good.

628
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah. His brother turned white and he goes, he's

629
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 8: going to kill me.

630
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 2: Right. So still he shouldn't be shoveling. He's seventy eight.

631
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 2: That's a higher risk activity.

632
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 8: I know. Well, we have a snowblower two so but

633
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 8: he doesn't use that. He shovels, but he uses it

634
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 8: if there's more than three inches. But anyway, he's good.

635
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,919
Speaker 2: Well, you sound very well going on in your life.

636
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:06,919
Speaker 8: Yeah, I feel great. Yeah, knock on wood, no problems yet.

637
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 2: Now you have some other friends. You became friendly with

638
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,839

00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:14,319

Speaker 8: in touch. No, Bob is really the only one I

645
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 8: got in touch with, because you guys wouldn't give their

646
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 8: numbers anymore.

647
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 2: So but you mean give you the number of another caller?

648
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:54,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, Bob. When Bob Rawley was on and Steve Lavelli,

649
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:56,399
Speaker 8: they would do that.

650
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you, I think that's nuts. I

651
00:39:58,680 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 2: would never do that.

Speaker 8: parents were Canadian.

656
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,799

667
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 2: minutes to talk to John in Boston. Hello to you,

668
00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:04,480
Speaker 2: sir John in Boston.

669
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 8: Hi, Bradley.

670
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 6: Bradley heard your program the other night when you were

671
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 6: interviewing that professor on the War of Independence, and that

672
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 6: was outstanding. I've told many people about that podcast and

673
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 6: quoted on it's just absolutely fascinating. But I also wanted

674
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:20,879
Speaker 6: to take you back down a memory lane, going back

675
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 6: to twenty eighteen. Okay, you probably remember this. I was

676
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 6: listening to your program. You had a series of podcasts

677
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 6: programs I don't remember. I know it was like in November,

678
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 6: December January. In that time period, you were talking about

679
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 6: George Washington in Boston, the Revolutionary where you had different

680
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 6: guests on talking about the actual things that were going

681
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 6: on in the Boston area. Yeah, and I know I

682
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 6: think you had two on Washington and another one or

683
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 6: two on the revolution in the area. And it's absolutely

684
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 6: I want to call it, that was absolutely fascinating. But

685
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 6: now it goes back to twenty eighteen, November December, I

686
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 6: don't know. I would love to find those podcasts because

687
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 6: they were outstead to give you a lot of great

688
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 6: information of what actually happened in the Boston area, which

689
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:12,320
Speaker 6: is fascinating. For instance, that guy you had, the professor

690
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 6: that was on the other night talking about the drum

691
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 6: from the Battle of Bunker Hill, So that's fascinating.

692
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 2: That's Bob Allison from Suffolk University. And yeah, over there

693
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 2: out on Columbia Point in that there's a little meat.

694
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 2: There's a very cool museum with some great articles. There's

695
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 2: actually a drum and I saw it that was actually

696
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 2: on in the Battle of Bunker Hill. It kind it

697
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 2: was a bit creepy, it was, you know, to see

698
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 2: this thing right there. It's such a pivotal event and

699
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,720
Speaker 2: it's so much suffering and it must have been horrible

700
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 2: up on them on that hill, you know.

701
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, absolutely, those people.

702
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 2: So I guess what gets me is those people are

703
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 2: so crazy brave, and I know at least at least

704
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty six meters pro would not be that brave.

705
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 2: It just wouldn't be.

706
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, they all kind of work together. I

707
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 6: don't know they you know, they had to do what

708
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 6: they had to do, so who knows. I mean, but

709
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 6: Bradley also want to mention, I don't know if you've ever

710
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:18,399
Speaker 6: had a program about the spies that were dropped off

711
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 6: by submarines along the New England coast, but I read

712
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 6: a very interesting article about a month ago or so

713
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 6: about a couple of German spies that had dropped off

714
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 6: in the area of Situate. There was a radio tower

715
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 6: that was beaming over to Europe different coordinates of U

716
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 6: bolts and things, and they one of the German spies

717
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 6: was trying to blow up that tower, and the patriot

718
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:41,879
Speaker 6: legend quite an article one if you look it up,

719
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 6: about how the German spy actually ended up killing himself,

720
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 6: but they didn't let the information out because they didn't

721
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:48,760
Speaker 6: want people to be afraid.

722
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:49,879
Speaker 4: Wow, but.

723
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 5: I don't know got it was.

724
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 6: Very interesting and I'd like to find out more about

725
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 6: that whole activity activity. There was a German uniform at

726
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 6: the time that was found buried that was given to

727
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 6: the chief of police, and Situate at the time was

728
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 6: going down. We're going we're talking about the World War

729
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 6: two era. But maybe there's people out there that that

730
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 6: know about it. But it was just some really very

731
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 6: interesting information about the spies that were dropped off in

732
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 6: the area, especially in the area of situate.

733
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 2: I'm very interested in that because I'm interested in everything

734
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 2: about spies, especially Cold War. But I love spy stuff

735
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 2: and i love revolution stuff and World War two stuff.

736
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 2: So I'm going to actually try to find that Patriot

737
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,439
Speaker 2: Ledger article and use that as a jumping out place

738
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 2: to maybe find an author of a book on it

739
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 2: or something like that. That'd be really good.

740
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 5: Yeah.

741
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 6: I looked up German Spies off the wingand Coast the

742
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 6: German Spies off Situate, and I scrolled down and there

743
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 6: were different articles, but the Patriot Ledger went into quite

744
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 6: an in depth article. They wrote up a piece on

745
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 6: I don't know how far I couldn't quite find know

746
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 6: how far back and when, but they've mentioned names of

747
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 6: people's streets and situate. They had a lot of information

748
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:09,200
Speaker 6: on that. And one of the things also was the

749
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 6: Germans are keep an eye on the ammunition coming out

750
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 6: of the Wampatuck Pockety where they kept all the they

751
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 6: stowed all the bombs during World War Two. So you

752
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 6: bols are trying to sink the ships that were connected

753
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 6: with that. So anyways, I'm.

754
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 2: Going to try to find information on that and maybe

755
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 2: do a whole segment on it times Up. I really

756
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 2: appreciate your call and your compliments and your engagement and

757

761
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:45,560

762
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,360
