Let's do this fast in your seat thumps. I wake up every morning Boston's
only classic rock morning show. I look at myself at the mirror and go,
maybe I'm dreamer, ayb I'm awake dreaming name as sleek with Pete McKenzie.
I'm still vombing before every show Ford until dirty and unsatisfied and Kenny Young's
get crazy. In other words, I'm crazy. I want you to go
hard, fast, heavy. You're too it. Here's to the future,
will you see Alex. Oh yeah, we're ready for it too. Should
have brought in a couple. Friday tends to be a longer day, so
yeah, I welcome a tall and frosty at this hour or maybe in another
hour. So now I can see you coming in with a cooler, little
cooler. That's my lunch pale. My name is Kenny Younger morning. Just
let you imagination run your guy. Yeah, those are words to live by
right there, Thank you the late Bob Ross by the way, five point
thirty on the nose. Just thought i'd point out you say you're welcome for
that one guy. You're welcome. Pete mackenzie, Happy Friday. Now do
you think that urinal dividers take the fun out of urinals. No, what
do you think the only time that I'll go up to a urinal is with
a divider. Yeah, if there's no divider, I'm using the turlet.
What's it's a wall, It's a tiny little wall. What does it block
you from seeing junk? Guys? Junk? Oh so it's a low wall,
like it's like shoulder height down to the knees. But see with our
high pete, those little dividers make nary a difference, because yeah, so
you just have to kind of look straightforward, right, You know, it
happened real quick on the urinal front yesterday. It happened again. Where I'm
the only one in there. I'm all the way against the wall on the
far left. Somebody from down the hall comes in. Not the guy that
likes to take his pants down at the urnal, but somebody else and could
have used one of the stalls. Like if I go in there and someone's
at one of the two urinals, I go in and I use the stall,
all right, just because I want some separation, all right, Oh
God for you. This guy comes right next to me, I mean right
next to me. I don't know, there's a certain unwritten code in the
men's room. I agree space the urin. Why normally go into a stall?
I don't think of you guys. Three we have three in there.
We have three stalls, but only two urine urinals. We only have two
urinals and there's that one guy that uses the sink. Yeah, there's only
two urine right, all right? Okay, six one seven nine three one
one double O seven are number as Kenny mentioned, Yeah, five thirty two
now forty eight degrees. Reach out via the text line w CLX and your
message. You can send it to seven oh four to seven O five thirty
club members. We have some singing to do first before we get into the
drive. Let's do that. Les you get this is this is Friday.
I'm like singing, this is Friday and this is heather Ford. Yeah,
no, bod with me in these seats. I don't love nobody with me
in these seats. Ain't nobody got time, Ain't nobody, ain't nobody not
time. Forgot about that. I forgot Friday. But it doesn't click.
Yah, Yeah, it's gonna be clicking now you're hearing that. It's such
a busy weekend. It starts like now and it'll end on Monday morning when
I come work will be a relief. You got all those Kentucky Derby bets
to get in, right, right, don't even have time for that,
right. The annual Jessica Patkat, former friend from Stuffolk Downs now Parks Racetrack
in Pennsylvania, is the track announcer, first female track announcer they've ever had
there. Too's amazing. We have her at six twenty five for some derby
tips. That awesome, I know people look forward to. I was driving
in this morning, debating whether or not, as I do every morning,
to take the Pike all the way to ninety three or to get on Storo
Drive. When I heard the traffic report that the Pike is closed at Copley
Square. Why construction maintenance, So you got to get off at Copley.
I'm like, no way, And then the Storo Drive report comes on and
says, well, there's a storeroid truck, so both of your ways in
are blocked. Were you both dealing with this? I just hit the slow
one lane. I stayed on the Pike and the slow one lane by Fenway,
and it wasn't too bad today. Some days you're stopping it you're stopped,
okay, but no today went right through. Yeah. So the reporter
follows up with there's a truck stor road, but you can get by.
So that's the way I'm going to go. And then I'm hoping I got
my phone ready, I'm going to take a video. Yeah, you want
to see the stir row. I want to see it, and I want
to show everybody, you know, the store road truck. So I turn
right onto driving. Right there in the double Tree parking lot is the big
semi truck tow truck, you know, and the truck and a little crinkle
at the top and a traditional stirring. Already they'd already cleaned it up,
right, that's what starrowing should happen, right in the middle of the night,
between one thirty and three am. It should never happen because the signs
are clear and your truck basically gets smashed in the windshield by those little fringy
sign chains if you try to get on. Yeah, so you're warned well
in advance, right, it should never. The fringe sign is my favorite
thing, where it's a sign that sits the height of the bridge and then
there's like chain links that are coming off of it, Like if you go
through here, you're doing it wrong. Right. Is it going to take
for companies and organizations and maybe even U hauls and riders and all those companies.
Is it going to take some sort of a brass plaque right there on
the dashboard in bold letters to say the high of the vehicle. No,
it's going to take what they have on shopping carts in like really high end
shopping areas where if you try to take the cart out of the parking lot,
the wheels lock. It's going to take one of those things eventually.
Oh yeah, like golf cart carts. If you leave the area of play,
they got shut down. Now, this won't happen until all cars are
self driving, and then they'll never go onto a stirle. But you would
need some sort of a self locking thing, like you try to get on
that and it's like nope, right, not happening. The other thing that
happened to me this morning is coming off a Route nine headed over to Route
thirty in between Shoppers World over there where the body was found. I see
two yes, in that area, I see two cop cars whiz by going
I'm down thirty by lows and target. Yeah than that, And I'm like,
whoa, what's going on? So I turn right and I'm going in
the same direction those cop cars are, and they go all the way down
at one of the traffic lights and make it you turn and turn their lights
off. And as I'm driving by, they're pulling into the parking lot at
Barmeki and Jewelers. Oh and there's already a cop there with his flashlight out.
I'm wondering if there was a an attempted break in at Barking in the
middle of the eye, we'll look at the news. Or it's thieves with
cop cars. Oh, that's a perfect cover, I know. Steal a
cop car and three cop cars and uniforms and then break into a jewel and
a couple of mag lights. Yes, yeah, you know that bar making
and jeweler. It is a big building. It's yeah, it's two or
three stories maybe, And all I'm picture in my mind is guys repelling from
the ceiling, you know, down in there doing doing. These are all
possibilities. Peak. That's a real jewelry store, right, I hope.
So what would it be like a front for something else? Well, no,
like like they sell you know, costume jewelry or something. I don't
know. I've never been in there. Probably. I think real jewelry stores
sell both. Actually, because you could buy some expensive costume jewelry. Yeah,
you can. Kind of weird, isn't that. You think it'd be
cheap, but it's not. Zeelex weather mostly cloudy and upper fifties today and
tomorrow some rain in fifties on Sunday. This all sounds lovely. Monday sounds
great, though, seven forty seven? What's Monday look like? Sonny is
seventy Are you kidding? No? Forty seven degrees? In Boston? I'm
Heather Forward on one hundred point seven double UZLX, Thank you very much.
It's one hundred point seven w ZLX, Boston's only classic rock morning show,
the inimitable Peter Frampton five forty two Here, how many children do you think
We're conceived? After the release of Frampton Comes Alive the beginning of nineteen seventy
six, I bet that album provided the soundtrack to many a conception that was
album voted Album of the Year, over eight million sold in the US alone.
It was inducted to the Grammy Hall of Fame, a landmark live album
by all accounts and just one of the many reasons Peter Frampton will be enshrined
and inducted to the Hall of Fame class of twenty twenty four. I know
there's diehard Frampton fans out there, like it took them long enough, right
about time. Well he's been worthy, He's been nominated multiple times. So
congrats again to Peter Frampton's Katy Young, Pete Mackenzie heather Ford forty seven.
Yeah, another weekend in the fifties. Thanks, mother and Atia told you
fake spring, we're not quite there yet. You want to talk numbers,
Today is another opportunity for you to grab a thousand bucks become a thousand are
beginning at nine to ten with our thousand dollars bribe here all right, Pete,
I don't know how long you're going to be able to keep the bank
vaults open and continue to unload one thousand bucks thirteen times every day. Well,
fortunately it was just paid a couple of days ago, so the funds
have been replenished for the thousand dollars bribe. You're welcome, and if you
keep ripping beers, you'll have all those returns that rack ups and change,
you know what I mean, your bottle redemption operation. We got a couple
of those roaming around Framingham with the shopping carts and the large, the super
extra large. I don't know where they get those garbage bags, the ones
that are like yard bags that you could the ones that are as tall as
you when they're filled with can I I don't know. I've never seen those
for sale anywhere. Ironic you should mention that, because just earlier this week,
I'm coming up over the bridge right here, sixteen Medford or is that
twenty eight sixteen right? Anyway, I'm coming up over the bridge and a
couple of those giant black bags filled with bottles and cans someone had slung over
their back as they're pushing the cart, so I couldn't tell that it was
a person. I just saw this dark object moving on the side of the
road, not on the sidewalk where there is one, but in the road,
and I kind of was like, well, I'm glad I'm paying attention
because this person could get hit. Well, the sidewalk just isn't wide enough.
I didn't know there was a person under there with those huge bags filled
with bottles and cans. Hew, they got a text from the six one
seven. Can you ask Heather if they will if there will be any champagne
tomorrow night after the Bruins game seven. Oh god, hey, I hope
people will be celebrating with champagne and that they're from here. Well, here's
the thing from what I saw last night. Do you want the Bruins to
play the Panthers? Not? Not the way they're playing right now. They
think going to be a short series. It's hard to win when you don't
shoot. Here, I said it, thirty minutes, two shots on goal.
You're not going to win any games. Sloppy, sloppy. We'll get
a little more in depth with the Bruins and we're gonna hear Jack Edwards sign
off. We gave Mike Gorman his his due, so we're gonna give Jack
his due in just a little while here. Meanwhile, more music on the
way and headlines at the top of the hour from a Planet Fitness WCLX Studios,
Horizon Now. Now, thanks for making us part of your morning idiot.
Great story one seven, WCLX, Boston. It's just one of those
days. Apparently, at least yesterday was now ninety five in Norwalk, Connecticut
is closed at least through the weekend between you know, Massachusetts, Connecticut and
New York. So if you plan on taking the ninety five it's New York
City anytime soon, don't you have to go an alternate route. I kept
seeing news footage of what looked like and I could only describe it as a
melting highway bridge overpass. That's what happened. A tanker truck filled with gasoline
I think it' said eighty five hundred gallons or something first into flames in a
three vehicle crash. I haven't seen anything about any of the drivers yet.
I'm sure that was part of yesterday's story. But the heat from the burning
fuel compromised some of the bridge. So the bridge is going to come down
and they're going to put a new one up. It melted the bridge away,
and so the other side. I guess when they are figured it all
out, that will be both ways, so it'll be slow going, oh
my god, but ready by Monday. Well, not the new I don't
think the new bridge will well, the road will be opened by Monday,
which is surprising. The road will be open, but I think the other
side will be open and then everybody will have to like, well, no,
that they certainly can't build a new bridge. I get that in two
days. But somehow they're going to open the road by Monday, which is
I can applaud that I can. But it'll be three lanes for both ways,
feel instead of six lanes, it'll be three. How safe do you
feel about going over that bridge on the other side being so close to the
other thing, it was compromised. It was pretty close to the heat too.
Well, if you do go over it and it collapses, at least
your family will be taken care of, will they? Yeah, I don't
know. You and I are both going over that bridge next week, that's
right, And I don't The only thing I keep thinking to myself is great,
they're going to reopen it. I'm finally going to get over the bridge,
you know, through the traffic, and that's collapsed. I was happy
to find out that it wasn't the gas tanker's fault. Was it a tiny
car's fault. There was another truck that cut off another truck, and then
he tried to avoid the accident. Oh oh, and then that's when he
got in the accident and burned the bridge down. Great. Well, now
now we have melty bridges, so environmental crews work to clean up the gasoline
and firefighting foam is everywhere, and so maybe they're waiting to open it all
up because they have to get rid of that first. It's not even that
they have to do anything to the road. They're just like, it's covered
in foam and gasoline and we just need to wash it down and give it
a good scrub. Everyone bring pressure washers. Yeah. So, I think
the Merritt Parkway is something I've been on that too a number of times.
It's something that cars can use, but trucks can't. Big big vehicles can't
giant buses. I think originally roads built north from New York City and then
eastern New York City were built with low bridges because they didn't want buses to
be able to get there from the city. They only wanted cars to be
able to do it. So their designed flaw there to protect themselves from city
people is also stopping trucks from going through it. I know that. Yeah,
great good. The reason I try to avoid ninety five South at all
in any accounts because usually when I head towards New York, I'm doing eighty
four, oh yeah, and then eighty seven or doing whatever I can,
but that's just so long it gets to New York City. Is the alex
weather mostly cloudy in upper fifties today, Tomorrow summrain in fifties on Sunday forty
seven degrees. In Boston, I'm Heather Ford on one hundred point seven UZLX
with the Mighty Zeppelin in Boston's only classic rock morning show, six sixteen forty
seven. I feel like I've been saying forty seven for the last four mornings
in a row. It's Kenny Young, Pete McKenzie, hed A faud Man.
I had an interesting day yesterday. Real quick, real quick. I'm
gonna make this thirty seconds or less if I can. So. The wife
and I are members of the Bjay's Box Wholesale Club, not members of Costco.
But we did discover that the Costco and Waltham right off one twenty eight
there has the discount liquor section that you can just walk right into. You
don't need a membership to get in there. So we go there and we
stock up a couple times a year on maybe a few times a year on
our you know your various Kirkland products. Sure, no your booze on your
boots, you're yeah, okay, I get your mixers anywhere, but this
place they've got some good prime on stuff. Correct. Correct? Uh So.
But then I realized there's a Costco right over here in Everett, right
off the Mystic and Target. Yeah, right by Target at Home. It's
right next to Home depot. So I said, oh, Thursday, I'm
going to pop in there real quick, and I'm going to do my liquor
shop in there, so I don't have to go to wall of them.
I can just go straight home. Right I go over there, you would
have thought it was the Saturday of a holiday weekend at this Costco. This
is around eleven fifteen, eleven thirty yesterday. I had the circle like a
shark looking for parking, just to find out if they had liquors. Go
to the park there, and then walk clear across the parking lot. I
should have parked at the Home depot in hindsight, But so I do all
that. I get into the place, I know I've gone over thirty seconds.
Sorry that one guy that's angry. Uh. And they tell me at
the door, Yeah, the liquor's right in the middle, and so I
said, oh, that's a red flag, because then I know in order
to check out, I'm going to need a membership. But that wasn't even
I turned around and walked out because the lines were like ten deep at the
registers, even the self checkout snaked around yeah, and I'm like, I'm
not going there. I'm out of here. I gotta go schlep it back
to Walt dam what's the grocery store over there, Heather as in Shawls.
No, Oh, I don't know. I know that the Wegman's Way.
Maybe it's a market basket that's over there over this way. I can't remember
where what the name of the store was, but in that area there's a
grocery store that I went into after the show one day. It was the
same way. It was a zoo eleven am. Yeah, on a weekday.
Yeah, lines forever, just getting around that rotary. Just to think
about the fact that the Wellington Circle, which I know that technically, I
guess that's a rotary, but it's more just a confusing amount of roads converging
on the same spot, and then the rotary when you go this way trying
to get to the It's like, this is the weirdest stretch of road ever,
and it's so crowded and I don't know what everyone's doing there. Yeah,
and there's so many people here At like ten thirty eleven o'clock in the
morning, I could not believe that parking lot in that store. I was
like, what is going on? It's Thursday? Try going into the target.
It's like an I can't. I don't even understand. I always look
around. I go, I know what I do for a living. I'm
done for the day. What are you doing? Right? You know?
Why are there so many of you? Yeah? Thirty minutes later I hit
the Costco and walt them right there, same thing. I can't find parking.
The place is mobbed and there's a line to get in and a line
to get out. I'm like, what is happening on this cargo? Either
that many people getting psyched up for the Kentucky Derby and Sinko to my I'm
like what. I could not explain it, could not explain it. Maybe
that's what I might have been paid day. Maybe that's what everybody gets paid.
Yeah, a lot of bulk items being personal Oh yes, oh yes,
I did that. Yeah, yeah, and almost got away with a
free bottle of something something. Not to my fault, but the guy with
the zapper. As I'm walking out the ladies, you know, they check
your receipt, she stops me and she goes, oh, wait a minute,
you have six bottles here. You only charge you for five. So
then the lady comes over. They pull me out a line, the whole
thing, and she says, oh, oh, it's okay. We'll just
ring that up again over here at the service wes check. It was an
adventure I got into yesterday. I survived it, So I said, you
know, even though my BJYS doesn't have booze, I think I'm going to
stick to that. Stay away from the costco scary stuff over there. Listen,
we got a lot popping here at the station, large wholesale bottles of
liquor not provided. You're gonna have to provide those on your own. But
we have our classic rock Clash at eight forty here. We're gonna be hooking
you up with the wholesale box set size of the Eagles, all right,
it's a lot of Eagles in one sitting, three discs, fifty one tracks
spanning over fifty years. Eight forty you can win a bad Boy and expand
your home listening library courtesy as the elected Boston's only classic rock morning show,
one hundred point seven wz LX six point thirty on this Friday, I maybe
the third forty seven. Kenny Young, Pete McKenzie, heather Ford. I
think rag Doll would be a good name for a race horse. What say
you, Pete? Rag Doll? Sure doll would be a great name.
Kenny, Big Day Tomorrow, Big Day Tomorrow, six o'clock, right,
six fifty seven post time, post time. We're going to bring in a
special guest, as we always do this time of year. Let's do that.
Jessica Bacatch. She used to work at Suffolk Downs. She was a
senior vice president of marketing there, did a lot of things for that racetrack
and has moved on in life and is now the first female track announcer at
pars Ray Parks Racetrack in Pennsylvania. Jessica, welcome back, Good morning,
everybody, Thank you for having me. This is my favorite Derby tradition.
This tops them and Julip for me. Absolutely yeah. So did you already
get up and feed your horse this morning? And someone else feed him luckily,
so I have to feed my dogs. Then I'm going to go ride
him and then fly back to Philly. There'll be some sad when I get
there today. Here, Oh I bet, oh, I bet. You
know what I noticed about this year? Well, there are a couple of
things I noticed about the Kentucky Derby this year. Well. Number one,
it's the one hundred and fiftieth running of it, which is a landmark event.
Number two, the purse is more than doubled from last year. Is
there a reason for that? Do you know? I think Churchill Downs and
racing in Kentucky is doing so well right now that why not make this the
most lucrative race for a three year old as possible? And there are also
some races overseas in Saudi and Dubai that have opted their purses, So I
think it's a competitive sort of thing. Or is it still the biggest?
So last year the perse total purse was two million. This year it's five
million, three point one right to the winner. Is that what it is?
Yes, it's a small chunk of change, no big deal. It's
fine, you know that. I think the real life changer is for the
winner. Or maybe it goes beyond the winner. Maybe it goes down to
a horse placing that it's life changing money for the owner. Right. I
think at the level that most of these people are competing, this money really
doesn't matter to them. These are I mean extraordinarily generationally wealthy people. But
the interesting thing in this year's Derby is it is life changing for some people.
There are a few folks that this is their first time and probably their
only time in the Kentucky Derby. They have once in a lifetime kind of
chances here. It is it more expensive to get into the Derby these days?
Or is that kind of stayed the same. I think it's more expensive.
The cost of horses has gone up. I mean the cost of a
nice horse. You'll see a horse in this race the cost to two point
three million dollars. But then you'll also see one the cost eleven thousand dollars.
So it's easy to get seduced by those big price tags. But a
nice horse can come from anywhere. Wow, have you picked out your dress
and your hat for the Derby? You know? The beautiful thing about being
the race color is no one sees me, so I can roll in as
comfortable as you sweatpants. Yeah, I'm not there yet, but I mean
we're inching closer by the day. Listen, Jessica I whove got a quick
question of the horses in the field. How many that you know of have
the pedigree of previous Derby champions. I think this is a lovely group of
horses. It's Charlis well bred horses. But the interesting one on the inside
door Knock. He's a full brother to Mage, who won the Kentucky Derby
last year. And for an even more fun fact, the horse's mother.
We call it the Damn Puka. She won a stakes race at Suffoc Downs
before we closed. Oh, look at that. And here's another fun fact
about door Knock. The owner is a former Major League Baseball player and World
Series champion. Get out of here, Yeah, Jason Worth, remember the
hym the name Jason Worth? Yes? Right? Crazy? Wow? Yeah,
yeah, I saw an interview he's talking about on nervous. He was
never nervous in a baseball game, never nervous, and a bat for the
World Series, but his stomachs and knots. Yeah, that's that's awesome.
All right, let's uh, let's look at the horses now, because you
know we we've in the past gotten a try effecta from you. It was
a winner once upon a time, It's all, hey, once is a
enough. Yeah, trifects aren't easy. And that was a good one.
That one paid about eleven thousand dollars on a six dollar wager. Sick.
That was sick. So come again. Twenty horses and twenty horses at post
time. None of that's changed, right, there's been no replacement replacements?
Yeah right, there are twenty. There was one scratch, but that means
the twenty one at the gride dropped. He drew in, so still there
will still be twenty number nine and Sino did scratch, okay, nine,
And Sino is a toss, all right. That's a scratch, all right,
got you on that, all right? So what do you like?
So I'm going a little crazy this year. I love it and this is
this to me, is the kind of race that with fierceness, he's going
to be the favorite. You're either all in on him or you toss him
entirely. That's got a great name, and he is and he's a very
nice work. He was our champion two year old. But I just I'm
trying to be clever, So I'm tossing him right out and going with the
Japanese horse the eleven Forever Young, undefeated, untested. His numbers measure up
with the American horses, and that has not always been the case with the
Japanese horses that have come in the past couple of years, and I think
Forever Young is their best chance. We've seen them start to dominate in other
parts of racing, the breeding industry, of course, but also on Breeders'
Cup Day. They really the past couple of years they're figuring it all out,
how to shift here and win, and I think this is the year
so Forever Young. That's crazy enough. He's ten to one on the morning
line, but then I like on the way outside number twenty Society man at
fifty to one. Yeah, And normally I would give a jockey, I
would give a trainer a little bit of grief about taking a young, inexperienced
rider off who's done well with the horse, who's done the job. Louis
Rivera Junior actually wrote at Parks he rode this horse in his last two races,
including a win, and he takes him off and puts on who I
think is the great I get jockey of all times, and this is the
one time I will give him. I will give a trainer an excuse.
If you have a chance to get Frankie the Tory, you get Frankie the
Tory. Wow, all the way out of twenty two. I got to
go with Forever Young just because of my namesake you anyway, that's worth a
gamble right there? I think it is right. And who's your who's your
third horse in the trifecta? So this I'm not being too clever with this
one. That is Sierra Leone, who will probably be the second choice behind
Fierceness, if not the favor himself. He's I think the most talented of
the group, but he comes from so far out of it it would have
in a field of twenty horses. He's just at the risk of running into
the traffic, so I he needs the perfect trip to win. But I
think regardless, he's good enough to get into your trifector or superfective. Okay,
do you guys have a trifecta you want to throw out? Yeah,
but not on air because it's all silly, of course, just just throw
the numbers out. I don't know their numbers names. Okay, so tell
me. I like the names, and so Jessica's is a twenty two.
So I like to passwords society man and door knock. Those are my three
face one of my When I looked at the names, I'm like, those
look fun ten twenty and one. Yes, well that prefect. It might
buy you a new car so that I pay for the one you just got.
And I'm surprised you haven't talked about honor Marie Well. I was letting
you guys go first. Oh, because the name suck out for me for
you, So I've got in the third. I think the third post Miss
Dick Dan, just because I think it's a cool name, Miss Dick Dan.
Uh forever young, like I said, because of my last name.
And then I'm going to go all the way to the back of the field
for Epic Ride, the long shot, epic ride, post twenty epic ride.
Where's epic ride? Is that the replacement horse? That's that's the one
that's off the also eligibles. Yes, I see see Destiny. It's crazy,
but it's not the craziest. That's what happened with Rich Strike a few
years ago, who was waiting in the wings and got in all right,
all right, all right, So I'm gonna go with the eleven horse Forever
Young thanks to Jessica on that one. And uh, then I'm gonna do
Catching Freedom, the four horse, and of course Honor Marie, Yeah for
your mom. Mama's name was Marie and she passed away in March, so
I'm gonna throw that in there. And from what I hear, Jessica,
Honor Marie is is a good horse. It has been getting a lot of
buzz. To be fair, this is the kind of horse that smart people
seem to like, which may be why I don't like them very much.
Smart. It's funny, all right, So well, good luck with all
the bets. We'll post those on social media. We'll make sure we get
Jessica's out there because it's one in the past four thousands of dollars. And
have the best weekend, I mean I know that, ye super Bowl weekend.
Yeah, it's the greatest minutes in sports for sure. Awesome, awesome,
all right. Jessica Podcat, she is a parks You can follow her
on social media too at JM Podcat and she always posts videos of tips,
races, stuff going on. At her track in Pennsylvania. Good stuff,
Jessica. We're so proud of how far you've gone in this industry. Thank
you. I appreciate you guys so much and I look forward to this every
year. Good luck everyone, Thank you Jessica, and the immortal words of
your horse. Have a great weekend. Bye you too. One hundred point
seven WZLX, Boston's only classic rock morning Show, six fifty two forty seven.
There, I'll say it again, all right. I'm looking at the
little computer box here and it says current temperature forty seven, Low temperature forty
seven, high temperature forty seven. Yeah, I guess only getting into the
fifties this weekend, so going to be a chili one here. It's Kenny
Young, Pete Mackenzie, hell of oud I saw did you you people?
Were you realize that in Antarctica there are currently one hundred and thirty eight volcanoes,
according to a recent survey. I had no idea there was that many
volcanoes in the frozen continent. I know there are a lot of volcanoes in
the world. Yeah, I didn't know. Is there one in Indonesia right
now that's stopping flights and whatnot a big one? Is it starting to spew
volcanic gas? That might be this one? And I'm probably gonna pronounce it
wrong because I've never seen the name of it in my life. The fiery
Mount Erebus or Arrebus is on the southernmost active volcano on Earth. It's over
twelve thousand feet high. It's been spewing not ash, but tiny crystals of
gold. And they're estimating there's enough gold coming out of this volcano that it
could amount to about six thousand dollars a day worth of gold. So I
can just see it now, all these giant charter boats heading to Antarctica.
This gold in those hills. Gold reminds me of a little flake. I
bought a little flake of gold I bought a few weeks back, seven dollars.
Yeah, it would be something that would come out of the volcanoes that
small, I mean, yeah, And that's the thing. How many tiny
crystals would you have to gather up? It gets said six thousand a day.
I wouldn't have known any Greek pronunciations either, but I just looked it
up. I think it's Erebus. Also, I got it right the first
time. Arabas yay, fifteen hundred active volcanoes on Earth. Wow, unreal
many. Yeah, but at the other ones spewing tiny crystals of gold peak.
I think not six grand in and of itself is great, but see
we uh spew out thirteen grand every weekday with the thousand dollars Bride nine to
ten will be your first of those thirteen opportunities from the Planet Fitness WCLX Studios,
Horizon Spin. Now, now, thanks for making that part of your
morning lies, Heather Idiot, great story, Thank god. On one point
seven WCLX, Boston, Are we Karen reading wrong? You know, like
as a group reads very Karen read? Are we Karen reading wrong? Because
I was out you know how sometimes the radio station blasts other stations like right
over our heads when we're sitting at our desks. Yeah, oh yeah.
So for the the past few mornings when I've been out there, one of
the stations in our cluster, they play like callbacks or things from the day
before. And every day all they do is basically open their phone lines and
everybody just Karen reads all over the place. They just vomit read everywhere they
want to. They spend the listeners spend like just minutes talking about how they
feel about it, what the conspiracy theories are, and I'm thinking to myself,
the three of us know a minimal amount. I bring it up only
out of because I feel like I have to, Like, right now,
it's everywhere, but it's everywhere? Are we Karen reading wrong? Like?
Do people want to talk about this more? Probably? All I can say
is from my perspective in a production sense, I haven't heard and there's been
nary a talk back. I don't think I've seen a text recently or social
media. I mean, I try to keep my finger on the pulse of
what people are talking about as far as the listener's talking back to us,
and I don't see anything Karen read related. Yeah, I just wonder are
they doing that? Are they? Usually I'll get an email from a couple
of people saying, well, didn't you talking about it? I don't.
I'm not even getting those No. Well, I mean the other thing I
noticed, too is going to the news stations. You know, you look,
click on a video and they're two minutes and thirty seconds long or something.
They'll cover a story. I mean, all the Karen Reid videos are
like literally, I'm not kidding. No, twenty what like they're the one
one video was over twenty minutes? What? Yeah, we are totally Karen
reading. That's wrong. I don't make time for that. I mean,
people are it's local, it's no and now it's a national story. So
people want to vent and I live near it. I know it's weird or
even weirder, sir, and I still can I mean, I'm having dinner
in Canton. I'm doing things in the area. Your question is are we
not doing enough Karen reading? Yeah? Are we Karen reading wrong? Yeah?
I just don't know. I mean, can you found some really fun
audio from If there is anything fun about this trial? Between I think it's
the prosecutors and the defense attorneys. And again I don't actually know what's happening,
but it's something like some people are saying she did something and some people
are saying she didn't. Those were those were the people on seeing the paramedics.
Yeah, okay, some were saying she said this, others were saying
I never heard that. So between the attorneys and the witnesses that are on
the stand, I think they should clear everything up right right communicated in both
instances that the defendant said to you, I hit him, repeated correct.
At no point in time did you ever hear her say I hit him?
I hit him, I hit him correct? All I recall her saying was
is he alive? She said, I hit him? She repeated it,
And there was a police officer who was in that vicinity kind of with us,
who replied, you what. She repeated it one more time, and
that officer then signaled to somebody, get Goodie down here, which I'm assuming
would be the sergeant. Oh Goodie, you know Goodie, of course I
do. All I know is that I can't remember anything specifically that the two
of you said five minutes ago, and that if anybody ever put me on
a stand and said what did they say? I would have no idea,
especially word for words. So I don't even know. I feel so bad
for anybody who has to testify, especially about something that happened years ago.
Oh, and then throwing a traumatic experience on top of it. How are
you going to remember? You know, all you're remembering is how traumatic this
all is? Right? So did we just Karen read correctly over the last
second? I believe. Let the listener decide via the text line WG Election
message to encourage radio. The story that I wanted to talk about all morning
because only because I plan on taking ninety five in this general area Connecticut next
weekend, and I think Piza's too, is that a truck filled with eight
five hundred gallons of fuel caught fire under a bridge on ninety five in Norwa,
Connecticut and the bridge melted, and so it has to be replaced.
That's a major thoroughfare, correct, Yeah, right after that's the next biggest
one. And it's so close to the city New York City at this point
that you know, yeah, and so they're gonna have I guess the one
three lane bridge will remain open, although when I was looking at the video,
uh well, I'm not even gonna try to show it because it's like
real dull that they're so close to each other. How did one melt in
one knot? So they're going to spend the that's closed this weekend, by
the way, they're going to spend this time cleaning all of their foam off
of it. And the fuel that's spilled and spewed everywhere. Wow, like
that can you say the word spewed? Yeah? Yes, all over that
bridge, all over the place. So, and all I'm thinking to myself
is I'll be that person driving thinking, all right, I'm gonna do it.
I get through the bottleneck onto that bridge, and then it collapses because
they didn't know. But then your family would be taken care of her,
don't given us. Yeah, I just want to get there, steep sacrifice.
Yeah, you're gonna have to go out to like Pennsylvania and come down
that way. I'm gonna to do like eighty four, which is just like
way out of the way. No, we're going to go that. I'm
going to DC next week. I know you are. I'm going that way.
Take the CMO bridge. Fine, well, I'm going to be traveling
in the middle of the afternoon. Maybe it'll be easier now well Zeelex weather
mostly cloudy and upper fifties today and tomorrow, some rain and fifties on Sunday
forty seven degrees in Boston. I'm heather Ford on one hundred point seven though
use ZLX, Boston's only classic road morning show. Sorry, I didn't mean
to come in too hot right there at the end of the Chilebebbos seven to
twenty one. May the third tomorrow, May the fourth be with you.
Of course forty seven weekend outlook not great. Sorry, but the we're just
the messengers here for the weather gods, and they're not smiling upon us too
much. I think maybe we'll see the sun on Sunday, maybe for single
to maybe we'll see rain on Sunday. Yeah, Saturday afternoon. You know,
I was a little bummed out yesterday. I awoke from my afternoon slumber
to find Pete's text to me. And you know, I can't remember the
last time you and I teed it up together. It's been a while,
but you were nice enough to throw the invitation out there to say, Hey,
Sunday morning, shining rock you in. Normally I'd be like, yes,
I'll drag my ass out of bit. I love that place. Sure,
I love Low and the boys out there, even in the rain.
Yeah, I supposed to rain like in the afternoon, and we tee up
at nine. Beat the rain done by one. I was going to set
you up in a cart with skyl epithetome I'd have to ride in the back,
so I had to turn you down because we have sinko to my brunch
plans. I think around eleven. So I was like, there's no way
I can even get nine in now, you know what I mean. We
got reservations and all this. I like both our choices. Actually I do
too. I do too. I like midday Margarita factor. So we got
that going for us this weekend. It's a double shot weekend here on Wislick's
w ZX Thank you. Double Shot weekend kicks off as it does every Friday,
chucks out this week. So you got Tyler pushing your buttons at five
o'clock for Live at five, and there's big to dos speaking to live music
next week. I'm not sure that I should throw this out just yet,
but I think maybe we should tease the listeners. We got a big concert
week next week on WZLX. Live Nation is going to be kicking off concert
Week with discounted tickets to all these big summer shows, like dozens of all
the big shows coming this summer, you'll be able to get at a discount
rate. Again, I don't want to reveal too much information, but what
we're going to do in honor of that for concert Week is give you the
opportunity to pick the show you want to win tickets for next week during Live
at five Multiple choice. But it doesn't start till Monday, so I don't
want to get ahead of myself. We still have a lot going on on
here today and this weekend, the aforementioned double shot weigan, but just put
that on your back burner. Let it simmer. Next week concert week,
all right, so we'll be getting you into some more big shows as we
do each and every weekday here. Not only that, but we also give
you the cash to buy some merchandise in s next right, listen to this.
You gotta wait for that. Boston's Only Classic Rock Morning Show one hundred
point seven w z Alex. The money made any money Rady seven forty seven?
Yes, speaking of money again, nine to ten is your first of
thirteen opportunities to become a thousand heir. Are you ready to find out what's
going on in the world of you? Are swamp masta? Okay, swamp
masta, we'll talk away, swamp Master Pete McKenzie, let's do it.
So what's going on with Boston's Only Classic Rock Morning Show? On one point
seven w z Elex. Yeah, So, about nine days ago, I
was playing golf and I tried to retrieve a golf ball that was sitting on
top of a swamp. And by swamp, I mean you know, decomposing
leaves, blackwater, twigs, just a nature nature. And I lost my
balance in the swamp and fell backwards and then continued on to finish the round
six holes to finish. Yeah, like a comedy. So the lore has
traversed much of Metro West. The topic comes up at golf courses, barber
shops and just it spilled over into my round on Wednesday when my co conspirators
landed near the pond on seven at Sass and my buddy says, and I
quote, oh, I got to be careful. I don't want to pull
a Mackenzie. So the clubs didn't go in, which was great. But
I did have my phone in my pocket and I had my vape in the
other pocket, and they're both still working, so no rice needed, no
rice needed. They both function well. And the those are the two most
important things, aren't they really? Yeah? And I did for you most
important for most people, one very important item. But not going down face
first, I think was helpful. And not panicking while I was in the
water. Honestly, if you'd gone down face first, you probably would have
broke a wrist because you would have put your hands out to brace yourself and
you might have broken something. Maybe probably better that you fell sideways backwards,
and that would have really ruined the golf scene. It really would have.
Yeah, plus a mouthful of swamp water. JESU dysenterio. So I went
to my barber yesterday, Craig, and it was getting my hair cut.
We were talking, we were shooting the s as we do when we get
our hair cut, and it came up, you know, it came up
that I had fallen in a swamp. But it'll always come up now,
he had a relatable story of his own. I will never step foot in
upon again. It ain't worth it. No, it's a golf but that's
what I said. I have had one of the scariest experiences at Cyprian Keys.
If you've ever played it, I have. It's been a while though.
If you're on one and it's all swamp, you have a landing area
plus a hill. Yeah, but it's a built for chaining wall. So
of course I hit one in there and drive around and I'm just walking like
this, looking down, looking down, waiting for me to spot my ball.
But all I'm looking for is a white ball. Yeah, and then
all of a sudden something moved. Dude, there was fifteen black snakes.
Oh ball kimmeled in. Yeah. And if I know my head and what
I was thinking, if I spot the ball, it's only like a two
to three point jump. I want to jump right into a pile of snakes.
Yea again, Now will I chase the ball? Never again? Never
again? And by the way, you know Skylab who you played at the
top of this break, I get I get golf balls from him Lee.
He's got a guy that dives into ponds around golf horse. He's got an
he's got so I'm not even paying a dollar a golf ball. Why am
I going after a ball on the swamp? Let it go? Let it
go? Yeah again, there's people I play with it sasas. And there's
warning signs up this time of year and all summer of warning signs as you
enter the woods, warning ticks, poison ivy. But yet I can't tell
you how many times you see people going in there to hunt for balls.
Yeah, it's not worth it. It isn't worth it. I taught you
know, the Quirk brothers, they own Whaland Country Club, And that's where
this incident took place. For me and twe on the twelfth hole, between
the twelfth and fifth hole, Yeah, that pond right there. But they
were telling me that a couple of guys, not one or two, are
missing. Never came out of the water. Seriously, they were up to
their shoulders in the swat. They couldn't get out. They had to bring
in a fire truck onto the golf course, lay a ladder out and rescue
these That's because when you go up to the gunk up to your shins and
your knees, it's hard to get anything out of there, especially because you're
trying to keep your shoe. And I've watched people get stuck in water with
that. And when I see people, I mean my husband right a panic
look on his face. He jumps up the back of the boat thinking it
was like sand, and he went down to his knees in mock and he
looked at me and he goes, I'm stuck. Then I can picture him
saying, and then physics took over because I drink himself back from the ladder
right onto the boat. I feel worse for the first responders that had to
deal with the smell of pulling somebody out of that swamp. It's terrible.
I bet you had a stink on you for a little while. It looks
like I walked out of a sewer. It was awful. Yeah, there's
a windy day, though nobody could smell me. H wind exactly? You
ready to get up wind of? Pete McKenzie or should I say you are
swamp master? Okay, swamp from the planet Fitness you see Alex Studios.
Now, thanks for making that part of your morning idiot. Great story,
one hundred point seven WCLX Bosson. I mean, it's a Friday. It's
miserable out there. I was just talking to Pete off air. I've got
like ten things I have to keep track of. H this weekend. My
husband is going to be somewhere else, and the kids have decided that this
is the busiest weekend of their lives. So, uh, soccer mom,
and yet none of it's soccer. But it's just so funny. So I'm
trying to keep all of that in my mind. But I'm like, you
know what, it's still Friday. We haven't done this in forever because you
know, most of the time, I'm just not feeling good to do it,
but it would do a feel good Friday only because you know, why
not send everybody into the weekend with some fun feelings. Pete, it's a
feel good Friday, Dode. I, that's what I think. It's funnier
that Pete's going do. You should not stress out about it. You don't
have to find it. It's okay, it's been so long since we've been
able to use that. I know, I know. The headline on CBB
as Boston officers surprised nine to one one caller with not what you're thinking,
Hey, birthday serenade and a gift. And that's so it was a nine
to one one call. It was a wellness check. Uh. And it
turns out that upon reviewing the notes, the police officers found that the caller
was simply seeking someone to sing him happy birthday. And this wasn't a frivolous
like, you know, let's go these good common and sing it. This
was a person who didn't, you know, necessarily realize that nine to one
one calls are for emergencies and sure, and this was an emergency to this
person. It was a good break from the normal calls we get. Everyone
has one birthday, so everyone decided to feel special on that one day.
On our way there, we decided, you know, you can't show up
someone's house empty handed. My mother raised me right. It made me happy.
I thought it was my birthday. It was cool to see that reaction.
I mean, this was a small, small example of a lot of
things that other officers do and not the bases that are just great that don't
get the airtime that I'm getting right now. You just don't believe in other
parts of the city there's a lot of good work being done and don't get
to say recognitions. Yeah, they said, we didn't believe it. At
first, we thought it was a joke. So once we verified it actually
was his birthday, we said, well, everyone has one birthday and that
was the beginning of that one cut a nice move. Good for them.
That was super awesome birthday too, nothing all day, more than I could
have asked for. It's too bad the cops didn't say, you need anything
else now, and they could have answered, well, you know what tomorrow
is. You know what we do need to say and I'm and the officer
didn't say it. Do not call nine one one to have them sing you
happy birthday now? This was one case. This is done. They did
something nice. Don't take it care all right? Is that how we're following
that up? The one other question I asked this morning, or maybe this
is the only question earlier, I asked, are we Karen reading wrong?
And the reason I say that and like it's an action now Karen reading is
because other stations in our cluster they have spent whole mornings taking call from people
talking about their feelings about Karen Reid and then what they think and whatever is
going on. And the three of us we have such a basic knowledge of
the case it almost verges on ignorance, and happily ignorant, by the way,
so we don't talk about it too much except you know, the hey,
Karen Reid's in court, blah blah blah. And then I said earlier
that I'm so glad I am not a witness in this trial or really any
trial so far in my life, because I can't remember what you two said
five minutes ago. I can't remember how we worded the beginning of this break
right, right, recall is not there right, let alone being able to
be a witness in a trial where I can tell you what someone said in
the middle of the morning or the night later, right exactly, and they
had a traumatic experience to the whole situation, stressful situation. It's a murder,
right, or at least they think it's a murder. Well, I
got one person to reach out to, which makes me feel better that we
aren't Karen reading wrong if it's only one right, What you guys are talking
about right now is precisely the reason why eyewitness testimony in court is not reliable.
It is not hell. Half the time people don't even remember what color
something is when they see it, never mind what somebody said for being them.
Yeah, like Kenny, I can only see your hat right now,
lovely jaws hat that you're wearing. You, I have no idea what color
your shirt is. Not only have I been around you all morning, I
walk to the bathroom with you just a couple of minutes ago, and I
can't, for the life of me remember if you're wearing a T shirt,
a sweatshirt, anything. I don't remember. I'm wearing a tank top with
barbecue stains. Well, now I see you just came over the top.
I see it's blue, but I had no I couldn't tell you what he
was wearing. On the other hand, I can't see your feet right now
yet. I know your shoes are very colorful. Oh yeah, really cool,
and I haven't worn them until today, right Yeah on shoes, yes,
well they're my hiking running shoes, Pete. She's trying to provide light
and heat of which we're not getting from the sun right now. I appreciate
it. Yeah, so anyway that makes sense to me. I mean,
witness again, I can't remember anything. Yeah, that's all the Karen reading
we will be doing for the morning. But I've got a little piece of
breaking news if you like. Is it good? I would think so.
For beefstick enthusiasts, beef beefstick, Okay, I just went down to the
kitchenette in search of some creamers, which we'll get into a little bit.
A beefstick. There's a station in this building that's hoarding creamers. I do
know, I do now after my investigative research. But in the kitchenette,
I noticed in our vending machine there's a jack Linx beefstick that is precariously hanging
by its hook. And I'm just thinking, one little, one little elbow
to the side of the machine that Sucker is going to drop the beefstick.
Well, I think Beefstick is going to be the title the first romance novel
Harlequinn Beefstick. It's got to be aggressive. It can't be like lighthearted either,
you know. Z Lex weather mostly cloudy and upper fifties today and tomorrow
summrain and fifties on Sunday, forty seven degrees. In Boston, I'm Heather
Ford on one hundred point seven w ZLX, one hundred point seven wz LX,
part of the Class of twenty twenty four, the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame, Your Foreigner, Boston's only classic rock morning show. They're not
hanging them up just yet. They're on the road this summer with sticks.
Talk about two arena rock legends coming to the Exfinity Center in August here A
twenty one, Kenny Young, Heather Ford, Pete McKenzie on this Friday.
Yeah, we saw this story. Kenny and I are both like, what
this is a realtor down in Florida. She's selling a home, but she
didn't realize that this home had an extra room to it. And one of
the first things I said off the bat was, there's a there's basements,
and don't know they had basements. The weirdest thing about this door, it
was an extra room, as in a basement, was the extra room.
Ye I mean Florida didn't really have underground railroads, so it wasn't like that,
like a room that was behind some bookshelves right right. But I just
know that from experience in Oklahoma, we didn't have basements either. Water table
too high, too high, right, So this was weird. So she
takes us on a tour here. Yeah, as she's doing her listing for
this home. I'm not gonna lie. And all the years have been so
in real estate, I've never had something quite like this come up. I
opened up to what I thought was a closet door in a bedroom at the
back of the house, and this door was in the next section. It
is an iron door with a swinging latch that leads down into an underground room
that is all concrete block. The original house was nineteen fifty eight. This
structure definitely does not seem to be post nineteen fifty eight. I would assume
that they did this somewhat more recently. Once you get down the stairs,
which the other thing that's funky is. We don't have a lot of basements
in Florida. It's not typical. So we're going down into what could only
be described as a basement, and just give me a little bit of pause.
I wanted to know what you guys think. Would you guys want to
hang out in this room? What do you think this room was used for?
Oh? I think I know what that was used for, which this
calls for a sexy party. Yeah, sex dungeon. I think it was
a sex dungeon. Yeah, it didn't have really the setup to hold somebody
captive. No, and it didn't. It didn't look it was a well
lit I mean it didn't scream sex. Yeah it was, but it was
well lit, and there was a hefty bean bag and chair in one of
the corners. It was a lovely throw rug, which really tied the whole
room together. So I was I don't think it was a human containment basement.
However, that wrought iron gate behind the door in the bedroom was susp
at everything. Someone who put it in there was like, let's do this
so that no one can guess what this room was really for. Right,
Let's make it really sinister looking and then we'll just leave it. When we
moved into our house twenty years ago. I went up into the attic and
the people before they say, cleaned the house out pretty much left a few
things behind, right, But up in the attic at the top of this
drop down ladder was this box shape thing Like I thought there was going to
be like a pipe in there or something to protect it, like a coffin.
Yeah, without a lid though, just an open top box. But
it was elongated. It was a narrow and inside that little area. And
I had my daughter up there with me, she was like twelve at the
time. Was this baby doll? Like a dirty baby doll? Ew And
Samantha would never go back up into the attic And I hope you removed it
and burned it, right? Well, yeah, we took it. Yeah,
we took it out and we didn't leave it there. No, No,
I got rid of that. But how do you discard a baby doll?
Like and don't look like you're being weird? Do you just put in
a garbage bag? Do you feel weird putting a baby doll in the You
mix it in with a trash like I do with the paint cans. Yeah,
and dead squirrel and dead squirrels. Right, yeah, dead square squirrel.
Put on rubber gloves and you use tong Sure. I think that's pretty
easy. We lived at so many homes when we were looking for houses,
in all the three different places we did, and I will tell you there
were some homes I went and I couldn't believe people thought this was appropriate to
a show. But the one that was the worst was when they said there's
a basement. They go and it's not. They said it was like a
crawl space, but also a basement. We walked down the stairs and as
we got to the bottom, I realized that it really was only four feet
high and it was just a foot of water. Oh there was a foot
of water at the bottom. Wow. And I just thought to myself,
why even why would you let me see this? Right? Do you want
mosquitoes? Because that's how you get mosquitoes. It was like, what do
you think this is an indoor pool show? We left yeah quickly, yeah,
yeah, I can't top that. I remember looking at some some ranch
style homes with base mencent I got to the bottom of one flight of stairs
and there was no more stairs. The stairs ran out, and then the
concrete flooring of this ranch basement was all crumbled, as if someone went down
there with a jackhammer and just never finished the job. And I'm not making
this up. There was one swinging dim light bulb, exposed light bulbs swinging
in this and I turned around and I got the hell out of it,
and probably happened because that was also covered in water. It could have been,
and there could have been water and baby dolls floating in it. It
was not the sex dungeon I was looking for. Needless to say, we
didn't buy that house. Boston's only classic rock morning show, one hundred point
seven wz LX Little Sound Garden, Budden in my Hand eight thirty seven here
on this Friday forty seven. Tired of giving out the temperature because it hasn't
changed, Kenny Young, Pete McKenzie, Heather Forward. I don't know if
you're aware of this, but another made up Internet holiday was yesterday. It
was National Ukulele Day. If you want to well, the little four strings,
very portable, very easy to play for some. But it's that alternate
tuning that screws me up because my what was that? That was the computer
over here? Uh yeah, I uh, for some reason, you know,
I play guitar and that's in a standard tuning, and O I dabble
in alternate tunings. The ukulele has a very specific tuning to it, at
least one that I know about. And it's uh. I didn't know that
my muscle memory, just as you have to form chords in a whole different
way. So I'm terrible at ukulele, although the wife gave me one for
Christmas. It's funny. I gave my wife one for her birthday three four
years ago, as she picked it up and tried to learn it. No,
yeah, it's white, it's nice. Does that have a hula girl
on it? Oh, it's just a nice ukulele that she said I want
to play someday, and I'm said, right, happy birthday. Well,
if you prefer this, someday hasn't come yet, you know that's right,
if you prefer the soothing sounds of ukuleles. Posted now at w z X
dot com is a treasure trove of classic rock tunes performed on ukulele, not
by myself or Pete's wife, but actual people that can play the instrument pretty
well. So, yeah, if you've ever been like, I wonder what
for those about to rock from ACDC would sound like on that instrument you can
find out. Got to post it up there for you. Let's go down
to America's hometown to a ukulele playing professional named Patrick. How going? How
are we doing, Buddy good? Heading into the weekend? You're all jacked
up looking for a little little action here in the clash. Okay, we
got an Eagles box set in the line. Let's do this. I'm gonna
make you. You're gonna be my grand bitch, Crop to trash, classic
class. The three of us should probably have talked about this beforehand. But
it's going to be a finish the lyric. So do they have to get
every single word correct that I'm looking for or they have to get it close
at least three? Be in the area anyway, all right, yeah,
all right, be in the area. That's help that's helpful for you.
Patrick. I'll let you know that it's gonna be five songs. I'm gonna
kind of sing talk through them, and then you have to finish them once
I stop, and they get more difficult because I give you way less lead
up as we get to the end. Okay, so the first the first
song is Hotel, California, right on a dark desert highway, cool wind
in my hair, warm smell of khalitas rising up through the air. Yes,
yes, this is good. It was easy and got it. Yes,
all right, take it easy. Well, I'm running down the road
trying to loosen my load. I've got seven women on my mind. Four
they want to own me, two they want to stone me. One I
want to be a friend of mine. Was all right, look get this
one, because then this one's got less but still way more than the next
two. Desperado. I'm not gonna sing this one because I went Desperado.
Why don't you come to your senses. You've been out riding fences so far
too long. No, don't want to take that. It's not for far
too long, for so long now, No, not really in the area
life in the fast lane. He was a hard headed man. He was
brutally handsome. He held him up. No, no, and she was
terminally pretty. Oh. Okay, this is for the the box set take
it to the limit, and the song is take it to the limit.
This one's actually easy, even though you get no lead up, don't screw
it up. Okay, okay, all right, Patrick, take it to
the limit. Take it to the limit, TA take it to the exactly
what we did for you there, Oh, we took it to the break.
Oh, Patrick, you make me sad. Sometimes he came in smile
and he leaves smiling. I like that. Well, listen, you're gonna
have to make room in your home listening library for this Eagles box set,
covering over fifty years from their storied career, including some great archived live stuff
for your listening pleasure. Awesome, All right, Pat, hold the line.
We got to get some inflammation from you. Meanwhile, as we get
into the nitty gritty here, we are just over a half an hour away
from your first thousand dollars payoff. Here thousand dollars bribe resumes at nine to
ten. Here with zlx seven, we made dreams come true for Patrick and
Plymouth moments ago. Well he earned it in the Classic Rock Clash. Good
recovery there to grab that Eagles box set. We will we have next week
in the Classic Rock Class at eight forty. Only Time will tell I got
an email which said TBD, Yeah, Time will tell us. We don't
know what it's gonna be yet, so we'll all find out together. On
Monday morning. Well, we know it's a big ticket week next week.
Hope y yeah, clash part of that. We'll be getting into concert week
next week. Yeah. Next Wednesday we kick off concert Week in honor of
Live Nations discounted tickets to some killer summer shows and Live at five will have
your hookup with mister Nolan next week and you'll get to choose from a roster
a lineup of concerts, get to choose your concert that you want to go
to. That's pretty cool. So that'll be kicking off next week and you'll
be able to purchase twenty five dollars tickets. I hope our Zelex birthday batch
will be part of that cavalcade of stars too, with Bush and Jerry Cantrell
and Candlebox. Meanwhile, here at headquarters, it's double shot weekend. Live
at five today will be kicking off those festivities, and there's some festivities going
on tomorrow for May the fourth, and a great benefit too. I got
an email this week from Johnny Bissel, big longtime listener of the station and
the show out of the Moose up in North bill Rick. This is the
tenth year they've been putting on the Widows Son's Ancient Craft benefit for the American
Foundation for Suicide Prevention. They lost one of their brothers years ago and they
started up this benefit. They do a charity bike ride. Kickstands up tomorrow
at eleven o'clock and you're welcome to joining. He said, there's plenty of
room. They're looking to get like two hundred bikes this year. So,
like I said, they've been doing it for ten years. They've raised over
half a million dollars for this great organization which we've done a lot of work
with over the years too, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. So if you'd
like to help out tomorrow, looks like the weather's going to cooperate. Widowssunsac
dot com widowsunac dot com. They're also on social media again. It's out
of North Bill Rica. Starts at eleven. Following the ride, he said,
they got a live band, food rappers. The whole thing sounds like,
grab your chaps and you're riding gloves. Gonna be cool. Yeah,
go on a bike. Yeah. God like mid fifties but some sunshine.
So again, good day for that. So get involved with that if you
can. If you're up that way, you want to get the bike out
of the garage. They got you covered up there, thank you, Johnny
Bissel. Meanwhile, we are just twenty minutes away now from your first thousand
dollars bribe. Listen, it's Kenny Young, Pete, Mackenzie, Heatherford.
Another huge weekend of sport, professional sport. And I hate to say it,
but we got another Ruins game this weekend. Yeah, I hate to
say it. I hate to say I wasn't really nervous last night watching the
game. I was never like anticipating a goal. I just wasn't. Well,
Pete, I'm glad you brought that up, because it's hard to score
goals when you have two shots on net in thirty minutes. That's what the
Bruins did last night. I mean they started, you know, working the
net a little bit, but I just never felt like they were gonna get
past Wall. I just didn't. Yeah, the way the Toronto was stacking
the net, they had their defenders down by the net, just couldn't figure
it out. Had the B's on their heels again like they did in Game
five this past Monday. So we'll see what happens on tomorrow night when the
game comes back to the garden for game seven here, but you had sent
me this piece of Montgomery after the game doing a very Unbelicheckian thing. Yeah,
well, he actually called out his stars, which you never rarely hear
coach do that. But Montgomery, if you heard him before game six,
he was still pissed about Game five and he said that. So now they
lose game six, Now he's calling people out. Your best players need to
be your best players this time here. I think the effort is tremendous.
They need to come through with some big time plays and big time moments.
I think Marshaw has done that in the series. Boston needs to step up.
Pasta needs to step up. Yeah, is the Eastern European Pasta.
I don't know. He's not American. He's not Canadian. In the rice
check though, right, So that's what I mean. So he maybe that's
the kind of thing he needs. He needs to be told, you know,
you're not doing it. Just what he was not strong on the puck
off balance when he had the Puck's just not in it, No, not
in it. And you know the other sad part for me was I don't
I have YouTube TV now, so I don't get Nesson, and so I
wasn't watching Jack's last game, which was kind of disappointed. I got to
watch Gorman's last game, you know, because Comcast is part of YouTube,
but Nesson isn't. Yeah, we got Jack sign off here at the end
of the telecast and try not to be distracted as I was from the sound
of the celebrating Scotia Bank Arena behind him. Has been a thrill of a
lifetime. I want to thank every employee at Nesson, especially our production team.
Most of all, I want to thank my broadcast partner, Andy Brickley.
You're the brother I've never had until I started working with you. It's
been a joy ride for nineteen years, and this is my goodbye. So
long everybody. Long live the Boston Bruins. Oh I do love him,
I do? Yeah, can you not dumb? Sorry? One of the
things he said, the next time you'll see me, I'll be sitting down
in the seats behind me, amongst you. It'll be the closest he's ever
been to the ice. He's always so far up. I brick had a
nice response to that. I had four brothers, but now I had fun,
absolute pleasure working with you. Great call again tonight, tremendous finish.
You know, it would have been storybook had they won Game five at home
to go out in that in that fashion for you personally, and given the
situation with this series, it might have been even more storybook had we been
able to broadcast game So yeah, and that game's gotten bumped nationally now,
so the beast There no other game seven? Is that? Why are there
any others? Or is this the longest one? I think this might be
a question. Yeah, sure, you said that A bunch of them ended
early, like not early, but five or last Yeah, I know it
was the only game last night, So there you go. Well, hopefully
we get Sean McDonough on the call. He does a good job. He
does, he does a good job. Does Celtics are still waiting to find
out their opponent in Round two of the playoffs. So tonight it's Magic Calves
in Cleveland, No in Orlando, Okay, m hmm. Yeah, and
then Game seven, I guess would be Sunday. But if they if the
Calves win tonight, then I'm not sure when that series would start Monday maybe,
yeah, at the earliest. I think they'd give them a couple of
days off with Yeah, so Celtics sit and wait along with the Pacers who
won. Last night Pacers beat the Bucks. Did I read that correctly?
You did? Yeah? The number three seed out? Yeah? Was a
Bucks player throwing a ball at Pacers fans. That was the only thing I
the only headline I saw this morning. Oh, not only did they lose,
but one of the Bucks players was like throwing basketball at Pacer fans and
I was like, that's not real. I think that was Patrick Beverly.
Ok. I think he's the one that hummed a ball into the crowd after
the game. I don't know what was said. I mean, obviously he's
upset. H he's upset that he gets to go sit on the beach,
you know, this weekend. But he will have a fine of twenty five
thousand dollars to pay. Yeah, who knows. Hopefully it didn't hit anybody
out of the crowd. And lastly, on our little sports rap here,
I watched another getaway game yesterday and another solid effort by the Socks starting rotation
as they were wrapping up the series with the Giants, but alas they would
go on to lose three to one. Bullpen blew it away. My dude,
Boozer is the one that gave up the runs. Boozer, Yeah,
late in the game there, So Socks now have to go out into enemy
territory. And I say that not New York but Minnesota, because Pete,
you brought up a fun fact about the Twins. Yeah, the Twins are
on a ten game winning streak. They won ten in a row. Only
I paid attention to the Minnesota Twins. Well, I do, because my
guardians are in that division. You. I'm like, where'd they come from?
Are they out there? And Twins? They catapulted up in the Central
Division, So they'll kick off their weekend series tonight out there, So go
Socks. Meanwhile, nine twenty six here and if you missed out at nine
ten, don't worry. More thousand dollars bribes sprinkled in every hour on the
tent oh Man listener, I wish you were in studio for that. It's
one hundred point seven WZLX, Boston's only classic rock morning show. Nine forty
nine on this Friday had the Ford Pete McKenzie singing in unison perfect harmony right
there with the end of that nine fig good Friday. Oh my voice is
gone. See how that happens, Well, they que it up again,
they do another song after that. I don't know how they do that,
Pete. If you watch the bon Jovi docu series on Hulu Thank You good
Night, you would see the lengths that JBJ went to to try to restore
his voice prior to getting an eventual surgery. He was using this infrared laser
treatment, like multiple times a day. He would stand in front of these
lasers that he had in his apartment, in his place, and they were
they were trying to loosen up the vocal cords and everything. You wouldn't believe
the regimen this guy had to do just to do that twenty twenty two tour.
It's crazy. So hey, just something to think about. Undred million
fans. Yeah, I don't ever want to think about that ever again.
Actually kind of freaks me out. You can think about this tomorrow May the
fourth. Sure, Star Wars fans will be posting all kinds of memes all
day on your social media. I'm sure I'll get into the game at some
point. Maybe you'll dress up your pug again as Yoda. I don't have
that outfit anymore, and that only fit him when he was a puppy.
Oh yeah, it was a tank. It was like a chihuahua sized outfit.
And he's a pug. He's thick, he's staunch, he's think now.
But tomorrow's another big day because wait for it, Derby Day. Yeah,
on May the fourth. May the fourth be with you with all your
lucky bets as were. We had Jessica pokad on this morning. We've had
her on in the past. She used to work at Suffolk Doowns. Now
she works. She is the first female track announcer at Parks's Track in Pennsylvania.
She's a handicapper. So we posted all those picks and by the way,
she gave us a trifecta. A few years back, a six dollars
wager would have paid eleven grand ooh mama. So she she knows her stuff
all right, So she gave us her picks and when then we gave our
picks too. So you can follow me on Twitter at Pete McKenzie z LX
or on Instagram Pete Underscore Mackenzie. I chose Forever Young as my lead horse
to take it all just because of the name for every Young Sure, and
then Miss Stick Dan and Epic Ride. I think we're the three that I
took password because I have no idea what it means and I just liked it.
Do you know what that means? Yeah? My go to honor Marie.
Yeah, in honor of Marie. In honor of Marie. Oh,
I do it side one, just done that. I will, I will
win place and show for Anna Marie. Yeah. Yeah, what can you
explain what a superfecta is? What's the superfecta? Yeah? Four horses?
Oh, four horses. They're all in the right, in the order you
think they're going to finish unless you box them, and then they can end
up in any of the first four as long as those are the four.
I'm afraid of the four horsemen because we might have another apocalypse to come out
of it. So then do a trifecta. All right, We much safer
with the Holy Trinity, the trifecta. Right, you can do an exacta
two kenny, Yeah, two horses. So listen, those of you that
are fans of day drinking Tomorrow for the Derby coverage begins on NBC, I
believe around two thirty, but post time for the actual fastest two minutes in
sports is not until six fifty seven, so just right before seven pm.
That's a long day. Well, in the minute the last horse gets into
the gate, that's when the bell rings. Yeah that's right. I mean
you're just so you're just anticipating. You watch that last horse five feet away
and you think, all right, it's going to be a little whit.
It's not. The minute that horse is in and only slightly settled, boom
bang they go. Yeah. Yeah, I do watch like watching them,
you know, go from the paddock out onto the track and get introduced.
I do like watching that half hour forty five minutes prior to the bell.
Hey nice paddock. Yeah, so good luck Derby fanatics. I like it
because it's just another excuse to enjoy him and Julip. I'm a bourbon fan.
Yeah. Perfect then yeah, well listen to help you out in the
financial department. If you need to do any wagering this weekend, we've got
