1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: It's nice eyes with Dan Ray. I'm gelling you easy

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: Boston's News Radio.

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 2: All right, thanks very much, Dan Watkins. As we move

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 2: into the nine o'clock hour, kind of seems like Tuesday

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 2: to me. And the reason it seems like Tuesday is

6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: I was with you last night. I hope you were here.

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 2: From nine until midnight. We were talking about the storm.

8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: At the height of the storm, we talked to some

9
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: friends and some meteorologist Ken Mahon of the of the

10
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 2: Boston Globe. We talked to Danielle and Matt Noyes of

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 2: one degree outside. We also talked with the head of

12
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: the state Police here in Massachusetts, Colonel Jeffrey Noble, about

13
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: what was going on in the roadways, and we talked

14
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 2: to a lot of calls. We also talked to Matt Carrara,

15
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 2: who is the president of Doble Engineering. They do testing equipment.

16
00:00:53,840 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: They produce equipment that tests the equipment for some of

17
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 2: the utilities, and he was interesting. So we had three

18
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: hours last night, a lot of phone calls from different

19
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,040
Speaker 2: parts of the country. I was very pleased with the

20
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 2: number of people who took the time to call in

21
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: last night. It was it was kind of what I

22
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 2: would call a lucky strike extra. So we're gonna talk

23
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: about the storm. Now. I gotta tell you, look it

24
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 2: out the window. It's still snowing. Ryan, I'm broadcasting remotely.

25
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: I don't know if Rob is able to look out

26
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 2: the window, because I know his studio was sort of

27
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: on the wrong side of the hallway. But I wonder Rob,

28
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 2: if when you were driving in tonight, if you were

29
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: dealing with any snow coming in. Oh, still snowing. Rob

30
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: lives north of Boston. Never going to disclose that, Rob,

31
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 2: don't worry. But and I know that Marita when she

32
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: did her pregame aka Lady Lightning tonight for night Side

33
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: at four thirty on a night saw with Dan Ray,

34
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: it was snowing up in New Hampshire. So there's a

35
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: couple more inches on the ground in the last couple

36
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: of hours. Now, I think that this is the last

37
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: gasp of this storm. But now now I was watching

38
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: the broadcast tonight and they're talking about maybe another big

39
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 2: storm coming in next not Sunday into Monday, but Saturday

40
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 2: into Sunday. So I hope we're not going to get

41
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 2: in that same pattern from eleven years ago, the winter

42
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: of twenty fourteen to twenty fifteen where we had very

43
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: little snow until mid to late January and then it

44
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: just never stopped. So what I'd like to do is

45
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: love to hear from me what did you do today?

46
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 2: Did you shovel? I shoveled. I had my plog guy

47
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: here last night, my one of my best friends Mark,

48
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: who does such a great job, and I got I'd

49
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: be lost without them. But I did some shoveling on

50
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: some stairs and the place where I always end up shoveling.

51
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 2: I'd love to know if you got Any of you

52
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: have the same problem generally the end of your driveway

53
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 2: when the snowplows come by for the fourth or fifth

54
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: time and they clog up the end of your driveway.

55
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 2: You got to get out there and shouble. Don't throw

56
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: it back in the street. That's not fear to the

57
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: plow guys, but you have to somehow. You can't allow

58
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: it to freeze at the end of your driveway. Are

59
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: you going to be stuck? So your experience today was

60
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: it as bad as you expected? Was it worse? Some

61
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 2: of you might have done fun things. I want to

62
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: start the week off the official week of Nightside at

63
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: on Monday night with some positive stories about the storm

64
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: of twenty six. I also also want to where am

65
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: I here? I want to announce winner from Friday night.

66
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: You know, on Friday night we did our predictions, Patriot

67
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 2: predictions that we've done them twice, both the Patriots over

68
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 2: the Texans and last night the Patriots barely over the Broncos.

69
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: And there were a lot of folks like me who

70
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: picked pretty healthy scores, but none of us, I think,

71
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: considered what the weather was going to deteriorate too in

72
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: the second half. My selection was the Patriots would win

73
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: thirty to seven. Well, I got this seven right the

74
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 2: Denver score, but I was twenty points off in the

75
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 2: Patriots score, so I wasn't well compared to some I

76
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 2: was close. There were some of my listeners who were

77
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 2: off thirty six points, twenty seven, twenty thirty three, thirty one,

78
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: twenty four, twenty six, thirty nine, twenty three, forty one

79
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: point fifteen, twenty three, seventeen was very close. That was

80
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: Roberta from Natick. She was very very close to winning.

81
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 2: Kevin was minus twenty four minus twenty minus twenty nine,

82
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: minus twenty three minus thirty talk about the temperatures. I'm

83
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 2: talking about how many points my listeners were off. It

84
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 2: was a very low scoring game. As it turns out,

85
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: the winner was Rick from Bill Ricer. Rick, if you're listening,

86
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: and I hope you are, you predicted twenty one to

87
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: ten Patriots. So by my calculations, you were eleven points

88
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: over on the Patriots score, So you're off by eleven there,

89
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 2: and you were at ten. You were three points over

90
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: on the Bronco score, so you were off a mere

91
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 2: fourteen points. Now, a week ago I Lean won the

92
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: Texans game. She was only off five points. She predicted

93
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: twenty eight twenty one of a score that was twenty

94
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 2: eight sixteen. So Rick, you were closest at minus fourteen.

95
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: And if you're listening now, Rick from Bill Ricker, he's

96
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 2: one of our regular callers. Please call in. Give your

97
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 2: name and address and your zip code and all of that.

00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: You will get a beautiful night side mug. I call

Speaker 2: in right now. If it is, Rick, well let's put

00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:35,080

Speaker 2: Congratulations. How are you, sir?

111
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 4: I'm doing okay.

112
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: You you hit it?

113
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 5: Yeah?

114
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 2: Do you remember what you what the score was that

115
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: you predicted?

116
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 3: Yeah?

117
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 4: I was totally off. I mean it was I was

118
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 4: twenty one Patriots ten.

119
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 3: The uh.

120
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 2: But you were the closest. You were the closest. There

121
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 2: were a lot of people. I had thirty to seven,

122
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 2: but and I'm not eligible, but we had we had

123
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: scores as high as thirty twenty three. I'm trying to

124
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 2: think the biggest. Yeah, George from Bridgewater was thirty eight

125
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 2: to ten. There were there were there were good numbers

126
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 2: of thirties. Pearl from Roxbury was thirty one to fifteen,

127
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 2: Steven West Roxbury thirty one to twenty one. So there

128
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 2: were a lot of thirties. So you wanted what I

129
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: did you think you had a shot as you will

130
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: watch in the game, or.

131
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 4: No, no, I didn't but I knew the score. The

132
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 4: Broncos are a good team, so I knew the score

133
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 4: would be low. I had a feeling it was going

134
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 4: to be low. However, I didn't think I was going

135
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 4: to win. And even knowing the score yesterday, I was

136
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 4: thinking somebody else came closer.

137
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 2: Well, it was funny. There was one guy, Matt. He

138
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 2: was I forget what town he was from, but he

139
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 2: was the guy that called in and wanted to play

140
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: that he was from Denver, and he was he was joking.

141
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 2: He picked six to three, which was a close number,

142
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: but he picked the wrong team to win. He picked Denver.

143
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: So under our rules and the decision of the judges,

144
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 2: the judges final, I make it very clear you have

145
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 2: to pick the winning team and then we do the

146
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: math and figure out what's the closest score. So, Rick,

147
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: what I want you to do is leave your name

148
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 2: and phone number and address and everything, and we will

149
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 2: get that out to you in the next in the

150
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: next day. Congratulations, And I always root for regular listeners

151
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 2: to win, and so I'm glad you did. I'm very happy.

152
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 4: I appreciate it. Yeah, well, thank you. And remember when

153
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 4: I told you I broke that big cup I used

154
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 4: to have. It was a massive cup, and.

155
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 2: I love this, but this is even bigger.

156
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 4: You're gonna like this one.

157
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: I think this is I think this is a substantial.

158
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 2: If you heard Ileen last week, it's a really substantial cup.

159
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 2: So we'll get that to you, hopefully by the end

160
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: of the week. I got talk about if the postman

161
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 2: is still delivering.

162
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 4: It comes. When it comes, I wouldn't worry about it,

163
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 4: but I want it to be as big as the

164
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 4: Stanley Cups. So make sure you make one that's really I'm.

165
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 2: Kidding, won't be as big as the Stanley Cup, but

166
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 2: it'll be your personal Stanley Cup and you'll be able

167
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: to hold on to it. Rick from Bill Record, Rick, congratulations.

168
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 4: All right, thank you.

169
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: Right there, Rob will get all the information. The great

170
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 2: thing about these these cups sometimes when we give away

171
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: T shirts or things like that, you have to get

172
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 2: a size. It's one size fits all. Rick, You'll like it.

173
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 2: It's it's substantial, trust me.

174
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 4: Okay, thanks, I think I can handle it.

175
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 2: Yes, sure, congratulations, Rick from Bill Rick is our winner.

176
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 2: We'll do the same thing with the Super Bowl to Fridays.

177
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 2: Hence we'll come up with a different topic on this

178
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 2: Friday night for our Friday night hour. So okay, having

179
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 2: taken care of that, which I think is important, I

180
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 2: want to talk to you about the snowstorm. First of all,

181
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 2: winners and losers. I think that the winners here were

182
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 2: the meteorologists, because all of the meteorologists, I think really

183
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 2: nailed this. They had this down cold all not only

184
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 2: to the amount, but also to the timing of the storm.

185
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 2: So we should give a hats off to the meteorologist.

186
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 2: And I'd love to hear from some of you out

187
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 2: there who were out driving around snowplow drivers. We had

188
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 2: some interesting calls last night. I'd like to get another

189
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 2: hours conversation here on a topic that we all can

190
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: agree upon. Could I talk about Minneapolis tonight's store? And

191
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 2: we may talk about Minneapolis later, but I'd like to

192
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 2: begin the week on a note that we've all hopefully

193
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: survived this storm. I know there was that one accident

194
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,199
Speaker 2: in the MBTA Park parking lot that took the life

195
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 2: of a young woman, unfortunately, but it sounds like it

196
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 2: was just a terrible accident. The driver he was a

197
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: contractor who was plowing the lot in Norwood. But other

198
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 2: than that, I know I listened tonight too. One of

199
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 2: the broadcasts, the national broadcasts, said that there were nineteen

200
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 2: deaths nationwide. I'm surprised there were that few, to be

201
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: honest with you, because I saw some of those videos

202
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 2: of the traffic accidents and places in the Midwest where

203
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: cars were just slamming into each other, they hit black

204
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 2: and also down south in Texas, they had black eyes,

205
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 2: quick black eyes, flash freezes, and people were just going

206
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: along and they had no idea. All of a sudden,

207
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 2: they went from from a regular road onto black ice,

208
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: and they went to break and there was nothing to stop,

209
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 2: and they just there were these multiple car crashes, which

210
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 2: also included some big eighteen wheelers which were coming in

211
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 2: and could not be stopped. I don't even know how

212
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: you would stop an eighteen wheeler, having never driven one.

213
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 2: But join the conversation. Let's just talk about the weekend.

214
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 2: We got through the weekend. It looks like we may

215
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 2: have to get through another weekend next weekend, and I

216
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 2: don't think much of this snow is going to melt

217
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 2: between now and next weekend, so we could be looking

218
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: at some real problems here if this second storm eventuates.

219
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 2: Six one, seven, two, five four ten thirty six, one seven,

220
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: nine three, one ten thirty taking a very quick break,

221
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 2: be back, let's light the lines up. Did you did

222
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 2: you stay hun did you stay hunkered down? Any of

223
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: you who were actually were at the ballgame in Denver

224
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: and have somehow made it back. You know, the Patriots

225
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 2: team plane made it back, but I'm sure they got

226
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 2: a little bit of a priority out of out of

227
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 2: the Denver airport, Uh into Tfgreen in Rhode Island tonight

228
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 2: got tails from the weekend. That's what it comes down to.

229
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 2: Let's have add it. It's North America's back porch. All

00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 2: back on nightside, let them up back after this.

236
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 1: You're on night Side with Dan Ray. I'm telling you

237
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: Boston's news Radio.

238
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 2: I just had a lovely note from a friend of mine,

239
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 2: not going to identify her. Some time ago, I bought

240
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: a nightside who did sweatshirt just to have in case

241
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 2: I wanted to gift it to someone special. Guess who

242
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 2: got it yours? Truly, I was freezing, put it on

243
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: and decided I deserve it, and you were right. It

244
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 2: is so warm. I'm wearing my nightside sweatshirt right now.

245
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 2: It is a very very warm sweatshirt and I've been

246
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: wearing it's a shoveling snow. I want to know what

247
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 2: you've been doing this weekend, other than probably watching the

248
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 2: football game or games for three to six hours. Yesterday,

249
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 2: some of you had to get out and shovel sidewalks.

250
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 2: Do any of you have the same experience that I

251
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 2: have that you shovel your driveway and I had my

252
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 2: driveway plowed, but then the city plow or another plow

253
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 2: comes along and they plow in the end of your driveway.

254
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 2: Rob was telling me that that is his experience where

255
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 2: he lives. So we could talk about that, but all

256
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 2: we could talk about what you did yesterday. Maybe maybe

257
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if anybody would have gone sledding yesterday.

258
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 2: I don't know that anyone wanted to be outside yesterday.

259
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: But I know Patrick is down in DC and he's

260
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 2: checking in. Patrick, welcome back. How are you? Oh?

261
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 6: I want to talk about the happy stuff with you.

262
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 6: You know that it really is pretty heavy right now.

263
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 6: So if I can get on and talk to happy

264
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 6: stuff with you, it's going to be great.

265
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: Right ahead.

266
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 6: Let my fellow listeners know that if there's one place

267
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 6: on Earth that cannot drive in the snow, it's Washington, DC.

268
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, oh yeah, And I don't. I haven't haven't

269
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 6: been able to figure out. This is why I go

270
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 6: over to the Maryland side. Now I ain't going back

271
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 6: in there for you know, do all this goes over

272
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 6: But Washington, d C. The Beltway and all that we

273
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 6: they cannot drive in the snow.

274
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 2: Can I tell what my theory is on that, Patrick

275
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: Da Well, well, my theory is, unlike Boston, if you

276
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 2: grew up in Boston, you know how to drive in

277
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: the snow, if you grew up in New Yorker, Detroit

278
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: or phillyas Chicago or wherever. But in Washington you have

279
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 2: people from all over the country who are living there.

280
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 2: There aren't that many people in Washington, d C. Who

281
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 2: grew up in Washington. You have senators and Senate staff

282
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 2: from places like Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Hawaii, Nevada.

283
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 2: They haven't seen much snow in those places. They get

284
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 2: to Washington, d C. And they get two inches of snow.

285
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 2: It's like something that ever experienced. That's my theory. Maybe

286
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 2: someone else has a theory, or maybe you have a theory.

287
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 6: It has to be an ingredient, because you know that

288
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 6: two inches can really paralyze the whole place, like it's

289
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 6: just unbelievable. Yeah, but how the heck when you've got

290
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 6: an inch rain on the water, they goes, you know,

291
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 6: you flying down the highway with any problem in the

292
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 6: in the in the rain, which.

293
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 2: By the way, could be just as dangerous as snow,

294
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 2: because if you start the hydro plane in rain, your

295
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 2: car's technically flying.

296
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: Car.

297
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

298
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 6: I never figured out some of the things we did

299
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 6: had didn't. But I'm real sorry about the accident in

300
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 6: the parking lot there. All g when I heard that.

301
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 2: The Yeah, that was Yeah, we talked about a little

302
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 2: bit last night. Here's the other one. Did you see

303
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 2: this plane crash up in Maine? Mind us day. They

304
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 2: flew in from Houston last night and they went to

305
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 2: a miserable conditions and it was a private jet. And

306
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 2: I think they're saying there's still a lot of mystery

307
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 2: about who was on the plane and all of that.

308
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 2: But boy to fly from Houston, Texas to Bangor, Maine

309
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 2: in the middle of a major snowstorm. Whoom.

310
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, So it wasn't local. He drove across He flew

311
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 6: across the country. Goodness.

312
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 2: No, No, that's what No, that's what I'm saying from Houston,

313
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 2: which is again, could have they ever seen snow or

314
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 2: sleet in Houston? I assume maybe at some point, but

315
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 2: I'm kind of following that story, and and if we

316
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: get more info on it, but it's it's Bangor, Maine,

317
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:24,239
Speaker 2: which is which is frankly quite up there. It's uh,

318
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 2: it's it's halfway up the state, if I'm not mistaken.

319
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 7: And do you think.

320
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 6: Why didn't they Well they.

321
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 2: May have flown above the clouds, but they may have

322
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 2: flown above the clouds, but they had to know that

323
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 2: there was you know, they had to land that plane,

324
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 2: you know.

325
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 5: Uh.

326
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 2: The plane crash apparently was Sunday night at Bangor International Airport,

327
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 2: which is a pretty big airport. There's there's planes sometimes

328
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: that are in trouble coming in from Europe and they

329
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 2: will land at Bangor and the plane crashed at Bangor

330
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 2: International Airport. It's a big airport. They're saying again, this

331
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 2: is from this is from tonight. They're saying it appears

332
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 2: to have resulted in fatalities. I heard that there are

333
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 2: conflicting reports from local and federal authorities as to how

334
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 2: many people are dead and how many were on the plane.

335
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 2: They agree that the aircraft involved was so called Bombadier

336
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 2: Challenger six hundred, which supposedly is a good plane. A

337
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 2: source familiar with the situation told Maine's Total Coverage that

338
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 2: the jet was being utilized by a Houston law firm.

339
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 2: The firm was established in twenty two thousand and four

340
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 2: for personal injury trial lawyers, according to the plane's website.

341
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 2: I'm not going to mention the website in case they're

342
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 2: wrong on that one. The plane crash during a winter

343
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 2: storm that brought heavy snowfall rates to Maine on Sunday.

344
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 2: Maids meteorologist Total Weather meteorologist uh Todd mcunner, and he

345
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 2: found that there was heavy snow and freezing fog at

346
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 2: Bangor International Airport at the time of the crash, and

347
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 2: visibility was down to three quarters of a mile. Yeah,

348
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 2: that's so.

349
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 6: That's a lot of yeah, yeah, with my eye on

350
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 6: the second hand for you, because I don't want to

351
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 6: go too long here. Uh, keep in mind that we

352
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 6: still can experience power outage. You know right now that

353
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 6: the storm is over.

354
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 2: No, no, no, you haven't lost me. No, No, power

355
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 2: outages can occur after a storm is over. There's no

356
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 2: and sometimes it's it's just that a tree branch finally

357
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 2: gives way and takes out takes out some wires, and

358
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 2: sometimes the uh, the the power outages need need to

359
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 2: be the power needs to be turned off because they

360
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 2: need to do some some upkeep. So yeah, that's very possible.

361
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 6: So otherwise, my point is that, and when you want

362
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 6: to kick me off is I'm ready if that happens.

363
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 6: I've been preparing mail all day. I'm ready for that.

364
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 7: Oh.

365
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 2: I know that you are. I know that you are

366
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 2: more than ready. And you are a civil defense advocate,

367
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 2: and some night we should we should do a story

368
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 2: on civil defense because you never know when when some

369
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 2: bad stuff happens, and it's there's always bad people.

370
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 6: Look, it was a civil defense advisory weekend, that's for sure.

371
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 2: No doubt, no doubt. But sometimes they can be man

372
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 2: male problem. Men made problems with civil defense. We can

373
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 2: handle the weather problems, we can bounce back from those.

374
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 2: But if we ever have you know, some of these

375
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:51,479
Speaker 2: men made problems occurring in major American cities, that's going

376
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 2: to be a real nightmare. But let's hope it doesn't happen.

377
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 2: And let's hope the authorities are are up to speed

378
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 2: and all of that. Patrick, thank you so much for call,

379
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 2: and you stay warm down there, and let's hope that

00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,920
Speaker 2: this storm they're talking about later this week doesn't materialize.

381
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:06,639

400
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,040

00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 2: yourself phone, wrenching your back. It's the best investment you'll

00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 3: daughter's birthday tomorrow, which was today, and I was going

417
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 3: to just get it done before the snow saw I'm

418
00:22:54,880 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 3: actually game. So that's statted Saturday, but Saturday afternoon straight

419
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 3: through till Sunday morning. We shoveled every two hours so

420
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 3: we didn't have to hire a plow. And I just

421
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 3: want to put a shout out Matt Smith from Bridgewater.

422
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 3: He's a neighbor that went to school with my youngest.

423
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 3: He came over because every time like I did, like

424
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 3: every time I shoveled that end of the driveway, the

425
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 3: plows would come by. And after ten o'clock, I said,

426
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 3: I'm done with this.

427
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 2: Last night, you said to me you started shoveling on Saturday.

428
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 2: The storm didn't start till Sunday, So you meant to

429
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 2: say Sunday, right.

430
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 3: Yes, Sunday.

431
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 6: My bad, My bad, my bad.

432
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 2: Okay, so what time? What time did you start? The

433
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 2: snow started? Remember around eleven o'clock or so.

434
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, no, we didn't start doing anything. I

435
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 3: did like I did a little bit around one o'clock.

436
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 3: It was like less than an inch, you.

437
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 6: Know what I mean.

438
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 3: Then about four o'clock, my son went out and he

439
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 3: did it. And then I got home. I was afraid

440
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 3: because I knew I wouldn't get in the driveway, and

441
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 3: I said, is there enough for me to pull in

442
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 3: the driveway? He goes, well, you might and I got

443
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 3: I got in, but I shoveled. Between six and seven,

444
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 3: I cleared the whole driveway. Then I went out at

445
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 3: nine and probably around ten thirty or so, I was

446
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 3: pretty much done, and they came by with the plow

447
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 3: and hit that front end of the driveway. I decided,

448
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,959
Speaker 3: I'm not going to do anymore. I got up at

449
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 3: eight o'clock this morning. I'm only five feet tall dance,

450
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 3: so I'm going to tell you right now, at the

451
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 3: end of my driveway it was higher than me. Now,

452
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 3: we only got what ten inches, twelve inches, I don't

453
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 3: even know.

454
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 2: There were some areas that got twenty so I don't

455
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 2: know what they got in Bridgewater.

456
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 3: But well I can tell you is I averaged about

457
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 3: from between four o'clock in the afternoon until ten o'clock

458
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 3: last night, maybe three to four inches when we went out, Okay,

459
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 3: you know, like every time we went out.

460
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 2: So if you got a crew here, that's the smart

461
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 2: way to do it. And so you had a neighbor

462
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 2: who's a friend of one of your children who came

463
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 2: over and decided to.

464
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 3: Help you morning, Oh my gosh, this morning I said it,

465
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 3: and I just said, you gotta be kidding me. When

466
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,480

492
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 2: big storm that's going to be there again?

493
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 3: And oh yeah, well no, if we have another one,

494
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 3: I think I'll just hire a plow. I'm tired.

495
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. How long is your driveway? How long is your driveway?

496
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 3: I kim fit. It's about three and a half colllengths long.

497
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 3: And it can pit too at the top, two in

498
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 3: the middle, and then one and just when you're ent up,

499
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 3: it's put it this way. Twenty years ago when I

500
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 3: bought the house, no, probably you know, yeah, now you

501
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 3: know I'll never own a snowblower because I've only had

502
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 3: this much, what maybe five six times since I've owned

503
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 3: the house.

504
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 2: Not only down, but snowblowers, in my opinion, are treacherous

505
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 2: and inherently dangerous. I really mean that. I have heard

506
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 2: so many stories about one of the snowblowers get a

507
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 2: little stuck and someone puts their hand in there to

508
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,199
Speaker 2: and yeah, oh my god, Oh yeah, you've heard those stories.

509
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 3: Oh but you know, I saw, you know what I

510
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 3: might buy And this is something when on my seventies

511
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 3: seventieth birthday in October, I'm going to buy it. It's

512
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 3: I saw one of those you know, those quads that

513
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 3: they use in the summertime and go out in the

514
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 3: woods West. It had a little plow on it on

515
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 3: Route eighteen. They're like a shock that does these little

516
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 3: sports things. Real quads plow on it. I had a ball.

517
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, Dan, I think everyone needs one.

518
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 2: No, I'm I love your enthusiasm and and I suspect

519
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 2: you will, but no, I just think that. I once

520
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 2: when I was much younger, like maybe thirty five years ago,

521
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 2: I went into a store to buy a power saw.

522
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 2: It was I was like a Huskvanna or whatever the heck.

523
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 2: The name was Hustvna. So I went in and I

524
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 2: bought these the power saw. We had just moved to

525
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 2: the suburbs. I put it in the back of the car,

526
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 2: closed the back of the car, went to the front

527
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 2: door to get in and drive away, and I said,

528
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 2: are you nuts? You were probably going to cut your

529
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 2: arm off with that?

530
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, my husband.

531
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 2: I went back to the back of the car, I

532
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 2: got the husp Havanna, and I walked back in the

533
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 2: store no more than like five minutes, and I returned

534
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 2: to the same guy bought it for my said, I

535
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 2: love it. What that's I just was realistic.

536
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 3: And I have still you have so much fun with it.

537
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 3: Listen it has like just have you seen one? It

538
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 3: has a little plow in the front. You can buy it,

539
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 3: and I thought to myself, that would be so cool,

540
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 3: just like a little old lady around.

541
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 2: So it's like it's like a small little tractor. Is

00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 2: that what you mean?

543
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,520

544
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 3: the kids ride around the woods and the trails.

00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 7: Well, I basically hunkered down inside over the weekend, pretty

578
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 7: much trying to I haven't been doing a lot of

579
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 7: my hobbies for a while because I'm losing my sight.

580
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 7: But I took up knitting again. I just recently went

581
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 7: out and bought a bunch of yarn before the storm started,

582
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 7: and I'm back to knitting blankets and hats, and I'm

583
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 7: part of a group on Wednesdays that gets together and

584
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 7: knits and basically, you know, we just talk about anything

585
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 7: and everything.

586
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 2: What am I dealing with from a point of view

587
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 2: of your eyesight? Macula degeneration.

588
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 7: I was diagnosed with glaucoma when I was fifteen. Basically,

589
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 7: now you know, I had a trabeculac to me, I

590
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 7: don't even begin to know how to explain two thousand

591
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 7: to lower the pressure. And then I had laser surgery

592
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 7: in twenty twenty one. But the damage to the octave

593
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 7: nerve is basically irreparable. Irreparable, excuse me at this point.

594
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 7: So I'm experiencing like when I see I'm looking it

595
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 7: looks it seems to me like I'm looking through a

596
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 7: high speed moving fan, constantly high frequency flickering.

597
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 2: And you know, I hope you I hope you're being

598
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 2: cared for by by a great optomologist.

599
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, good, definitely, Yeah, we have.

600
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 2: The best, were the best in the world here. I

601
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 2: have a you know, an optimologist. I mean, your eyes

602
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 2: are so precious. I just hope and pray that that

603
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 2: that they will be able to save your eyes.

604
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 7: I mean, because I pray every day. I know I'm

605
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 7: losing it, but I just pray every day because I

606
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 7: know no matter what, that God's at the helm, and

607
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 7: I know that someday I'm going to have my eyesight

608
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 7: back in spades, so I'm just giving it to him. Basically,

609
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 7: I know the Lord is in charge, and that's my

610
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:48,960

Speaker 7: no matter how out of control of thing else scenes.

615
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 7: And I know that's the case with my eyesight as

616
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 7: much as anything and everything else, you know, And when

617
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 7: all hell breaks loose, all of heaven draws and there.

00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 2: the book Rich's Rich's Journey.

623

00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 7: little bit back in two thousand and nine, twenty ten,

627
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 7: and he sent me a lot of things. I was

628
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 7: still working at Children's hospital at the time, and I

Speaker 3: So I uh.

657
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 5: And also on the on the Houston law firm, I

658
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 5: have a funny feeling that might be one of the

659
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 5: Bush's nephews who started with a big private injury firm

660
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 5: down there a few years ago. Yeah, well, just I

661
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 5: had never even heard of the Crafts until I heard

662
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 5: the story tonight when you said it. But I wouldn't

663
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 5: be surprised if it's the same firm that's terrible.

664
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 2: Well, the name of the firm that is being quoted

665
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 2: and referred to as a firm called Arnold and Inkan,

666
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 2: So I don't know anything about that lair, but we'll

667
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 2: see what happens.

668

Speaker 5: everybody needs to mass it over me money. It's been

696
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,880

00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 5: goes the lady and I'm like, oh, this is my wife.

704
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 5: So then she comes out. I'm trying to talk to like,

705
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,759

00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 5: a good kid. We don't need it. It's too big.

707
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 5: I go, it's not too big, and we're gonna need it.

708
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 6: Nope.

709
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 5: I bought what I need on Amazon. What she bought

710
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 5: was a six inch max lithium battery powered snowshovel, which

711
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 5: Mary would love because it's very light, very easy to use.

712
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 5: So I said to her, you better make sure this

713
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 5: kid gets back here to help us on Sunday, even

714
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 5: shading for anything. And I made the mistake of buying

715
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,760
Speaker 5: a house on a corner without a garage, which is brutal.

716
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,919
Speaker 5: And in my town, I have a handicap ramp next

717
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 5: to my sidewalk, and I, you know, as much as

718
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 5: the guys when they try to clear that, I cannot

719
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 5: get over it and I never could do it. So

720
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 5: comes back and helps us, and I feel bad because

721
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 5: you know, my whole block is clear. There's no way

722
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 5: to cut into the streets. I can't. The ramp is

723
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 5: under forty feet of snow, right and yeah, it's so

724
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,439
Speaker 5: everyone throw it down on it and listen. Nobody wants

725
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 5: the Patriots to win. Because of the Verizon blackout with Fox,

726
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 5: you can't watch the Flodge channel. So I watched the

727
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 5: game last night out of Denver, and one of the

728
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 5: news anchors told the truth. He's like, I didn't want

729
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 5: the Patriots to get back into the AFC Championship for

730
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 5: at least ten or fifteen years after after Belichick.

731
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 2: Right now, well, everybody's gonna everybody will be influenced ed

732
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 2: by what you've had to say tonight.

00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 5: Okay, I hope you're doing well. I help your family
