I noticed 193 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 2: that your sports are racketball and tennis and tennis racket 194 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 2: racket sports. I was involved in a couple of other 195 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 2: sports during my younger days, and one of them was baseball. 196 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 2: And you did a great report about this wooden chest 197 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 2: that somehow someone lucked into and attached to the wooden 198 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 2: chest were a bunch of early twentieth century baseball cards. 199 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 3: Tell us about how this. 200 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 2: We dream about that stuff, but this actually happened. Tell 201 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 2: us about it. 202 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 5: It's the find of a lifetime. Let me tell you, 203 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 5: it's one of those stories that you know when it 204 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 5: pops up in your inbox, you just see it and 205 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 5: it's jaw dropping. So I met this guy, Frankie Mitten, 206 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 5: when I was actually covering the Republic trash Strike, and 207 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 5: I was trying to get him to talk about all 208 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 5: the trash that was piling up in front of his house. 209 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 5: And he ended up reaching out to me about a 210 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 5: week ago and he said, Hey, trash strike's over, but 211 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 5: I've got an even better story for you. My buddy 212 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 5: and I came across a wooden crate full of baseball cards. 213 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 5: It was at in the state sale. We bought it 214 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 5: off Facebook marketplace. We bought it for seventy five dollars, 215 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 5: and we think there's some golden here. And he sent 216 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 5: some pictures and I mean, this thing is loaded. It's 217 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 5: got Cy Young card, Christy Mathewson, John McGraw. These cards 218 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 5: are all from nineteen oh nine to nineteen eleven, and 219 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 5: I mean you just you look at it and it's 220 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 5: a piece of history. And so the guy Tom Conrad, 221 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 5: who actually is in possession of this crate full of 222 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 5: one hundred and twenty two baseball cards, he's an antique collector. 223 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 5: So you know, I showed up at his house and 224 00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 5: I walk into his garage and it is full of 225 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 5: old advertising signs, oil cans, old soda bottles. But his 226 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 5: biggest love and his first love when it comes to collecting, 227 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 5: just like you, it's baseball. And so this to him, 228 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 5: I mean, it really was the find of a lifetime 229 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 5: to come into contact with something like this. So he's 230 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 5: been pouring through all of these cards and working on 231 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,959 Speaker 5: getting them evaluated, and he's got them up on a 232 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 5: Facebook page right now auctioning them off. I mean again, 233 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 5: he bought this for seventy five dollars and the top 234 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 5: bit is almost at seven grand. 235 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 2: Right now, Wow, when you said old oil cans, I 236 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 2: wanted to make sure that he didn't have oil can 237 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 2: boy in a former Red Sox pitcher in his collection 238 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 2: or actual oil cans. Okay, So now the catch is 239 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 2: that these baseball cards were apparently glued to the inside 240 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 2: cover of this chest. 241 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 3: Correct. 242 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 5: You know, it's unbelievable. It wasn't anything that was done 243 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,680 Speaker 5: in a secretive or harmful way. It was just the 244 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 5: way that these cards happened to be stored when they 245 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 5: were purchased. It was probably a young kid's collection. And 246 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 5: so whoever was originally in possession of these cards had 247 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 5: glued them into this wooden chest. And in doing that, 248 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 5: you think that would ruin them. But what's crazy here. 249 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 5: We took these cards in to a card expert, somebody 250 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 5: that evaluates these cards. He works at the Card Vault, 251 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 5: it's a Tom Brady owned card shop, and he said, 252 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 5: taking them in this condition right now, the only reason 253 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 5: that they look the way they look is because they 254 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 5: were glued into the chest. It actually helped preserve them. 255 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 5: So most of these cards either have been destroyed or 256 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 5: they've disintegrated, but to find one hundred and twenty two 257 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 5: of them in near perfect condition, it's unbelievable. 258 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 2: So logan my question then is this, how do they 259 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 2: extract the card? I mean, has the glue so dried 260 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 2: up that the cards just almost. 261 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 3: Of the glue off easily? 262 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 5: You got it, you got it. Most of the glue 263 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 5: has dried up. So that Cy Young card, for example, 264 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 5: probably the most valuable card in that collection, it came 265 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 5: right off and there was next to no. 266 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 6: Residue on it. 267 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 2: Wow, Wow, Cy Young, the hero of the nineteen twelve 268 00:14:54,680 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 2: World Series. Just, oh my goodness, what great memories. This 269 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 2: was the dawn of baseball cards, you know, late late 270 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 2: nineteenth early twentieth century. Did you get a chance to 271 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 2: physically be in the room with the cards or a 272 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 2: handle any of them? 273 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 6: Or I did. 274 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 5: I you know, I was right there with him going 275 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 5: through most of them. I got the chance to hold 276 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 5: the Cy Young card. I mean, this card is from 277 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 5: nineteen oh nine, in perfect condition, was sold about a 278 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 5: year ago for a million dollars, for not a million, sorry, 279 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 5: one hundred thousand dollars. So the card evaluator that we 280 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 5: talked to said that even in the condition that it's in. 281 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 5: If it was even in worse condition, they could easily 282 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 5: get a couple grand for it. I mean, this was 283 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 5: like being, you know, in a room full of American 284 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 5: history looking down at this set full of cards. 285 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 3: What I don't understand is this. 286 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,239 Speaker 2: It would seem to me that if I assume Facebook, 287 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 2: Marketplace is a website of some. 288 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 5: Sort, it is, so it's an extension of Facebook. So 289 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 5: people go on there to list odds and ends baseball cards. 290 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 2: So no one else aw this set of car or 291 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 2: this group of cards ensconced inside. Did he just buy 292 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 2: the chest for seventy five dollars and then when he 293 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 2: bought us delivered you know I'm saying, Then when he 294 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 2: delivered it, did he open it up and say. 295 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 3: Oh my god? 296 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 2: Or did he know and no one else bid on this, 297 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 2: this chest with the cards? When when he made the bid, 298 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 2: did he realize the cards were here? Or did it 299 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 2: come as a surprise once he took possession of the chest. 300 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 5: No, thankfully he knew the cards were there, and so 301 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 5: did the owner. That would have made for some big 302 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 5: problems after the fact. But even then, buying something like 303 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 5: this for seventy five dollars all those cards displayed. I mean, 304 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 5: I mean it. You know, the question came up when 305 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 5: I was talking to Tom. You know, I said, are 306 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 5: you are you gonna try and find a way to 307 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 5: compensate the guy you originally bought it from? And you 308 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 5: know he had he had mentioned, yeah, of course, we'll 309 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 5: try and find a way to take care of him. 310 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 5: But you know it was it was one of those 311 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 5: fines for him. That was a find of a lifetime. 312 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 2: Why would why would they? Why would some again bought it? 313 00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 2: The story now would be to go find the person 314 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 2: who owned the check. 315 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 3: Why would they sell a chest like that knowing. 316 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 2: That these old baseball cards were inside the chest, even 317 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 2: if they were glued to the chest. 318 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, our minds worked the same way. 319 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 5: I've been trying to backtrack and find out who the 320 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 5: original owner of this chest was. But you know, it 321 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 5: was in the state sales, so it's one of those 322 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 5: things you're not really sure and it might have been 323 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 5: sold just somebody thinking maybe it's artwork, right, I mean, 324 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 5: not even knowing that they're baseball cards, but true gold 325 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 5: inside of that chest. 326 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 2: I remember being at the nineteen I had to tell 327 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 2: this story very carefully at the nineteen eighty four Red 328 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 2: Sox Old Timers Game. Okay, we were up in that 329 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 2: time in the WBZ box and it was great.

You guys hit 392 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 2: it when it was going to start, the intensity all 393 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 2: the way from when it started midday on Sunday down here, 394 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 2: and it just picked up and I was waking up 395 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 2: like Sunday night Monday morning, saying whoa, where where is 396 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 2: Noah in the arc when we meet him? And where 397 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 2: are the animals lining up? It was brutal, But it 398 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 2: looks a little better, and it looks actually quite good 399 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 2: for the head of the Charles Regatta this year, which 400 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 2: right over on Soldiers Field Road and Store Drive right 401 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 2: that river that bisects Boston and Cambridge. Tell us what 402 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 2: we should be looking at weatherwise. 403 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it did the Unlike last weekend, which 404 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 7: was obviously pretty nasty with wind and rain, this weekend 405 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 7: dealing with an area of high pressure that will be 406 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 7: moving overhead. High pressure it's a big h on the map. 407 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 7: It usually means nice weather and that's what we'll have 408 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 7: nearly overhead, at least to start the weekend, even though 409 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,199 Speaker 7: I think it's dry here through Sunday. I wouldn't be 410 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 7: surprised if the breeze started to pick up a little 411 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 7: bit by Sunday afternoon as at high begins to shift 412 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 7: off of the coast. But at least through the weekend, 413 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,159 Speaker 7: things that are looking pretty good for the regatta, not 414 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 7: only for tomorrow but Sunday, but tomorrow. If I had 415 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 7: a place a bet. Tomorrow's probably the nicer day of 416 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 7: the weekend. 417 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 2: So speaking about placing bets, by the way, I'm just 418 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 2: curious if you happen to look the Patriots are playing 419 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 2: in Nashville this weekend, if I'm not mistaken, and I'm 420 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 2: wondering if you you know, maybe took a look at 421 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 2: the weather down in Tennessee, if what the weather looks like, 422 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,679 Speaker 2: oh say about one o'clock on Sunday afternoon. 423 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, we are not that. 424 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 2: That could impact, you know, the game or the playing 425 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 2: conditions on the field, which in turn could affect the score. 426 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 3: This is merely a weather inquiry. 427 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 7: Yeah, no, Yeah, looking at the latest forecast, we have 428 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 7: this large storm that's going to be swinging through the 429 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 7: Great Lakes in the Tennessee Valley, bringing a lot of 430 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 7: rain for the middle Tennessee area as we head into 431 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 7: Tomorrow night and the first part of Sunday. So where 432 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 7: I'm going with it is is it looks pretty nasty 433 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 7: there tomorrow night into the first couple of hours Sunday morning. 434 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 7: Rain probably starting to taper off a bit by the afternoon, 435 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 7: but you know, at least the field conditions could be 436 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 7: wet out, there could be dealing with some gusty winds 437 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 7: as well out of the northwest behind the storm. So 438 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 7: maybe not quite the downpour during the game, but I 439 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 7: could be some gusty winds kickoff and beyond into Sunday afternoon. 440 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 3: Well that's something that everyone needs to take into consideration. 441 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 2: Uh, when you if you're sitting up here in New 442 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 2: England watching the game, you've got to dress appropriately. So 443 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 2: if it's raining, they put on a raincoat so you 444 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 2: really feel like you're in the stadium. 445 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 3: That's why I asked the ask the question in the 446 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 3: wedge time and stuff. 447 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 2: I opened the windows, you know, at the house and 448 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 2: just let the snow fly in, and it's it's it's 449 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 2: it makes the experience more realistic. Man, I know you 450 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 2: think I'm nuts, but that's okay. So that I think 451 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,679 Speaker 2: we've turned the corner here. I think that that summer 452 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:43,959 Speaker 2: is definitely gone and obviously we're in fall. Uh. The 453 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 2: weather is generally it's going to get tough the next 454 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,439 Speaker 2: few months. I guess when I ask you about a 455 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 2: long range forecast here, what's it look like, you know 456 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 2: for November and particularly for those who will be traveling 457 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 2: around Thanksgiving. I'm really putting you on the spot here, 458 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 2: but you're good and you can handle it. 459 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 3: Tell me, yeah, you think long range. 460 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,919 Speaker 7: Yeah, the ACU weather forecast going into this winter, especially 461 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 7: the first half the winter. I know November is still 462 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 7: that gray area that's late fall, but expecting temperatures near 463 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 7: or above average at least through November into December. So yeah, 464 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 7: it's going to progressively get cooler a course over the 465 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,399 Speaker 7: next few weeks or so, but at least with above 466 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 7: average temperatures. If we do see any storms rolling through 467 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 7: the area, likely to stay more rain than maybe something else. 468 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 7: So we'll see if that pattern holds true. I think 469 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 7: there may be more of an uptick with the chances 470 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 7: of snow as we head into the middle of winter 471 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 7: January and February. That's when you see more of a 472 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 7: fight with a cold there that was expected now across 473 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,359 Speaker 7: the Great Lakes and the Upper Midwest to make incursion 474 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 7: incursions here into New England. So to start off the winter, 475 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 7: especially in the November December time period, probably remaining warm 476 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 7: for this time of the year, and then things progressively 477 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,400 Speaker 7: perhaps getting a little more wintery as we get towards 478 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:56,479 Speaker 7: the middle of the season. 479 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 2: That's kind of been the pattern, it seems to me 480 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 2: for the last few years. Obviously, my sense was that 481 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 2: the pattern really changed in that winter of twenty fourteen fifteen, 482 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 2: where it was fairly nice in December. I don't think 483 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 2: there were any major snow snowstorms at all, and then 484 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 2: the snow started and it just didn't stop. I know 485 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 2: we haven't had a winter like that since, but that's 486 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,360 Speaker 2: when the first time that I felt that we might 487 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 2: get through December without snow. But that doesn't mean we'll 488 00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 2: get through the way. The lesson I learned was winter 489 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 2: seems to be lasting longer and getting more intense as 490 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 2: December turns into January and February. That's the pattern that 491 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 2: I've seen for the last or at least I think 492 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 2: of experienced. 493 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 7: Am I fairly close to the money on that, Yeah, 494 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 7: that would seem reasonable, And that's actually one of our 495 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 7: forecasts that we've looked back to as a twenty fourteen 496 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 7: to fifteen season that this could have some parallels to that. 497 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 7: Not saying we're going to get one hundred inches of snow, 498 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 7: but it's one of those instances where you have very 499 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 7: warm waters off the Atlantic coast kind of shields you 500 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 7: from winter for a bit, and then yeah, once you 501 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 7: get more into the teeth of winter, especially if we 502 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 7: get those really cold shots coming into the Great Lakes 503 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 7: and the Upper Midwest and they make a bee line 504 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,959 Speaker 7: towards New England, that's what could get us into trouble 505 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 7: again January into February. But the first half of winter 506 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 7: may kind of lull you into it. 507 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, a sense of false security. Last question, El Nino Ninho, 508 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 2: whatever the heck those differences are. 509 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 3: I think this. 510 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 2: You know, I didn't do as well in Latin as 511 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 2: I should have, but I guess that's Spanish. What's that 512 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 2: situation looking like and what impact does it potentially have 513 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 2: on our weather? 514 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 7: Yeah, you know what we talked about the El Nino Laninia. 515 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 7: We're talking about the ocean tempters across the eastern Pacific 516 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 7: and we're kind of oscillating back and forth. I expected 517 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 7: to trend kind of closer towards in al Nina once again. Now, 518 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 7: when it comes to al Nino or l Nina, really 519 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 7: it's when you have the strong events that's what gives 520 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,919 Speaker 7: you a better indication of what a winter could be. 521 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 7: So for us, a strong al Ninia would indicate maybe 522 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 7: a warmer winter, drier winter here for the region. But 523 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 7: when you have these weaker events, it doesn't have as 524 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,679 Speaker 7: big of an impact. And we look towards things like 525 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 7: the Northern Pacific where it's very warm right now that 526 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 7: can drive the jet stream and where that goes this winter. 527 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 7: So while we've taken into account, of course Nina and 528 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 7: al Nino, there's other factors that go into the forecast, 529 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 7: and perhaps this winter it's more of the Northern Pacific 530 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 7: that may help to drive the jet stream overall. 531 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 2: So what I think I'm hearing you say is on 532 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 2: that question, the jury is still out. 533 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, the jury's still out of that. 534 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,520 Speaker 7: Okay, enough, if you had a clear indication it was 535 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 7: going to be for sure a strong you know al Nino, 536 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:35,879 Speaker 7: that I think we'd have a better signal for what 537 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 7: we'd expect. 538 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 2: All right, matt As always appreciate your time, a particular 539 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 2: in a Friday night. 540 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 3: Thank you so much. 541 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 2: Have a great weekend, enjoy it, Okay, thank you, take 542 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 2: care you too.

Basically they thought it was kind of 574 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 6: a fun time because what happens in October is people 575 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 6: start training for the season, but the season is not 576 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:34,240 Speaker 6: until a screen, so there's a lot of drudgery and 577 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 6: there wasn't any competition or anything that even made it fun. 578 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:41,240 Speaker 6: So two guys from the Cambridge Boat Club, but you know, 579 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 6: why don't we have this thing on a Saturday and 580 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 6: all that, And they basically went around the local prep 581 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 6: schools and the clubs, especially the Cambridge Boat Club. They 582 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 6: went down to Harvard and said, hey, you know, here's 583 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 6: that appol case. Just fill out. So that was it 584 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 6: was one day. Now, it's three days. Now, now it's 585 00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 6: twelve thousand people. 586 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 2: And and it's six twelve thousand competitors, competitors, competitors, And 587 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 2: you're talking about what is the best guestimate. I mean, 588 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 2: Fenway Park is thirty seven thousand full, and so that's 589 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 2: take a third of Fenway Park as competitors. What does 590 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 2: that extrapolate to to to people along the river banks, 591 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 2: on the bridges overlooking the trials. What's the best It 592 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 2: has to be a guestimate of people who will stop 593 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 2: by either Saturday or some well, I guess it started. 594 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 6: Yeah, the estimate that the people give is four hundred 595 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 6: thousand people. And what they're trying to do this year, 596 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 6: the new not New Jesus is her second year.

It's obviously very important to read it. 611 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 2: Lists in pro's form, I might add all sorts of 612 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 2: restaurant tours, thing drinks that folks can imbibe for people 613 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 2: both well, the regular drinks for people under eight twenty one, 614 00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 2: and then there's stuff that people can have over twenty one. 615 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 2: It sounds like it's going to be a real festival 616 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 2: this week. 617 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I think you know. The thing is that 618 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,840 Speaker 6: underlie you know, the esplanad or I'm like, you've got 619 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 6: three miles of riverfront and there is a ton of space. 620 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 6: So what they're gonna do is use the stuff around 621 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 6: the Lars Anderson Bridge, Right, we're kind of up on 622 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,200 Speaker 6: the road up to Harbor Square.

Yeah, just think of it quite 629 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 2: that way. So now I must tell you that I've 630 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,280 Speaker 2: never actually been to a Head of the Charles because 631 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 2: I used to work over there when WBZ well WBC TV, 632 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 2: and it was always crazy to try to find parking 633 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 2: spaces and a lot of that, you know. 634 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 3: But for those who are going, is there any admission? 635 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 3: I'm sure that there must be some tents VIP tents 636 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 3: for which their invitations and admissions, But most people, if 637 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 3: they want to, can just go over and pick out 638 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 3: a spot and watch right. 639 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 6: Absolutely, because I think for a while there were kind 640 00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 6: of upscale things, you know, where you could go in 641 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 6: the tent and have cocktails and lunch, but they wanted 642 00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 6: to open up to people that didn't want to be 643 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 6: paying four hundred and ninety five dollars a day. So 644 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 6: now I think, for example, there's a thing called the 645 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 6: River Bend that's right down around where the Lars Anison bridges, 646 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 6: a little bit someth of that. 647 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 3: Yep. 648 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 6: So for forty dollars you can go in and basically 649 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,560 Speaker 6: spend the whole day, and you know, you have lounge 650 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 6: chairs and games and then there'll be a DJ and 651 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 6: if you don't want to spend anybody at all, I 652 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 6: can just want it back and forth.
