Let's do this. That's in your seat Thumps. I wake up every morning
Boston's only classic rock morning show. I look at myself at the mirror and
I go, maybe I'm dreaming. Ab I'm a week dreaming. I'm a
sneak with Pete McKenzie. I'm still vomiting before every show. Heather Ford,
I'm feel dirty and unsatisfied. And Kenny Yung let's get crazy. In other
words, I'm crazy. On one point seven, I want you to go
hard, fast, heavy, get to it. Here's to the future.
Will you see lex Wow, Welcome to this Thursday. One more alarm folks
five twenty nine or even early on this eleventh of April forty five degrees.
Good morning. I for some say your imagination can take you by the hand
and guide you. Oh, it's Masters Thursday, most beautiful golf tournament of
all. If you ask a guy like me like this, my name's Kenny
Young. Doesn't respect the law. He lives outside, unrestrained by the guard
rails of human decency. Well, I've been called worse. I guess can
you imagine Kenny breaking the law? I can't even I break the law every
day I drive in there, I can only imagine Kenny's just traffic laws.
Yeah, you know, like getting handcuffed or tasered, like looking at the
guy like do you really want to do this? What's happening right? You
know? One of my biggest deep seated phobias, aside from quicksand, is
being wrongfully committed and incarcerated for a crime I did not commit. That's one
of my biggest fears. I don't know why I really there. Yeah,
that's not that that would be scary. By the way, when you did
actually learn about quicksand, did you feel secure about it afterwards? Yeah,
because they said I'm never going to come across it in my entire life.
Well no, no, it's it's never more than like a foot or too
deep. Oh it's not. It doesn't you wouldn't. It wouldn't swallow you.
It'd smallows, small animals. All I know is grow, not follow
up should make you feel better. Grow. Watching Gilligan's Island, I thought
it was going to be much more of a problem. Never has been.
More like sink holes might be more of a problem for you, sink hole
Heather forward over there. I think it's just going to be one of those
things like riding a bike. We're just going to get up there and look
at each other and might start laughing. Sounds like spinning music right there,
does it? Yeah you're spinning. Yeah, yeah, but that doesn't sound
like spinning. It wasn't. It was pretty high intense. It's usually like
classic rock, the ones I go to. Yeah, it's like, yeah,
it's heavy. Pete McKenzie likes to Oh, I'm sorry, ahead,
go ahead. I just said not light and that was the only word I
had. Pete, do you have any do you anything you'd like to say?
Hate out? What's wrong? Well? I want a masterbate, but
I'm just so darn cold. Too bad. That's now answer for that problem.
Yeah, so darn cold. I wonder if cold has ever stopped me
from from doing that? Well, it doesn't get you. Probably has cold,
Probably has cold hand because I have cold hands. Can't do that like
a stranger. Oh yeah, it doesn't work that way right now. Well,
you sit on your hand until it gets numb, and then that's the
stranger, right that. You know what? I love going into a weekend.
I love going into a weekend. When plans come together on a Wednesday,
you know what I mean? Like like sometimes today Wednesday, No,
no, that was that was yesterday, okay, good. Yeah, but
our plans for the weekend came together yesterday, okay good and for both nights,
which I love. I love that, you know, because sometimes you
go into the weekend not knowing what you're gonna do and then something comes up.
I like both. I like something to look forward to. I love
that yeah, or we're going somewhere. But I also like the hey,
let's do something and then all of a sudden, we're like boom, ten
minutes later, we're doing something. Yeah, that's good too, But I
understand the looking forward to. Yeah, dinner or golf for you, or
dinner Friday night, and then Saturday we're gonna The guy doesn't even know it
yet, and I know he does and listen to the show. But we're
going to surprise a visit, and he needs a surprise visit. He's a
buddy of mine, Bill. I've mentioned him before. He's the neighbor that
does just about anything and moved a block away. Oh yeah, yeah.
So he had a stroke about five six weeks ago. It was a small
stroke, but enough to scare you. And he's like beside himself like he's
not in a good place. No, because when you have one, you
think the doctors tell you you get another. Yeah, but like my brother
bounced back pretty quickly. I don't remember anything, you know, overly mentally
challenging for him. But then then Victor, my buddy Victor had a stroke.
He's bounced back completely. Yeah. Well I have a friend who had
one in his late thirties and he's bounced back. But it's still traumatizing to
their whole family. Is I mean, it's a life scare. It's crippling
emotionally for a long time when that happens, because you think to yourself,
I'm going to lose who I am if it goes too far. Yeah.
Yeah, And the bills, like I can't eat, you know, I'm
I'm walking everywhere trying to, you know, regroup. I'm not I'm not
getting behind the wheel of my truck. I always fill with blood clots,
so strokes are real fierce for me. Yeah, I guess, I mean,
you know, but we had the guy needs a visit, so we're
gonna surprise him. So you're gonna dress up? Are you bringing it?
Give him a second dress? By surprising him? What are the singing grams
called the Sea Telegram. Yeah, you should bring one of those with you,
and I don't want to startle them. I don't think you startle people
into a stroke. I think the sedentariness of life, that's why he's walking
everywhere is what put a heart attack. Might be something you startle him into.
But I don't think you startle people into a stroke. Okay, I
mean as far as I know, But I mean, I'm not a doctor.
I just know that I've spent the last sixteen years making sure I don't
have a stroke. I mean, you see me. I don't even know
if you see me do it. But every morning I sit at my desk,
I get set up, I pop a blood thinner. I go about
my business every day. That's my plan. That's like, that's how life
works, to avoid stroke, to avoid stroke a daily routine. I get
a question about your desk. As a matter of fact, I was approached
by a salesman who shall remain nameless. Where's Heather? I go, what
do you mean? She probably left the day. It's after ten o'clock,
the show's over, and he says, her desk is cleared out, there's
nothing on her desk, not a stitch. It looks like everything was just
wiped clean. Yeah. I took everything off. She probably either moved her
desk that they've been talking about, or she put her stuff away. I
put my stuff away. And this was the quote. This was the follow
up quote, where's the candy? Where's the candy dish? Isn't there?
I knew something was up when I didn't see the candy dish, so Marty
to mind his own business. I did not say that, so it was
I will tell you well. I mean we haven't talked about it on air,
but for a while now people have been someone I don't know who it
is comes in and like rearranges my desk. It's the cleaners. It has
no I'm just gonna let you know it's not the cleaners, because no other
desk gets moved like this. And I almost feel gas lit when you guys
say that to me. My desk is very organized. I know you guys
don't come around to look at it, but everything is in like it's always
very neat. What do you think about? People? Wait and I clean
my desk like I end yesterday. When you guys go, oh, it
must have been the cleaners. The coffee spot I had from the day before
was still on my desk, so they wasn't the cleaners, and they didn't
touch anyone's desk but mine. Why would that even happen. So once they
the first time, they switched Kevin's picture and flipped it around backwards, and
I'm like whatever, So I started to clear stuff off my desk, like
not as much stuff, and then they moved stuff around again, like real
obvious, like put stuff from my desk on another deck. You don't think
this is Kevin's spirit moving things around your desk. No, what about somebody
coming near your desk looking for candy and not finding it. It's been full
every time it's happened. I'll show her. I'll move everything around candy yesterday
it's because I put all the candy away, put it in my desk yesterday.
After they move stuff. I got a simple solution to this. Well,
no, no, the solution you got it. So then came no,
Kevin used to put a camera on the cam. Kevin had a camera
my desk for months, you guys didn't know it. And then he got
so weirded out by the people that were coming to my desk to take candy.
Constantly, he goes, we're going to get in trouble, so he
took the camera. I had a ring camera on my desk for months because
Kevin had to no. No, I like desk all I did, so
it kept happening. I found flowers from my desk two desks over. This
isn't cleaning people there, they're so gentle. Everybody who's watched them do things,
they just kind of go about. Somebody. Someone's messing with me.
So yesterday, after the fifth or sixth time, I took everything that was
on my desk, and if I haven't taken it home already, which I
have over the past month and a half, I put it all on my
death like in the cabinet. Who would want to do that to my desk?
We want to take the time, I know, But I don't have
any suspects it's happening after we leave. What a colossal wasted time. And
that's what somebody stuff like that. But I don't even talk to anyone around
here in any sort of like that's like rowdy. Do you have any riffs
with any No employees, No, there's no underlying issues. Yeah, I
I go out with people from work, right, I went out with all
the girls a few weeks ago, Like I don't have maybe one of them,
moll no, there's I like to think there's no vendettas here, is
it not? At iHeart, No, it's at least not amongst the employees.
There's no feelings, there's no happy or said here. I guess we'll
see what the next thing happens to your desk. Nothing that Yeah, nothing
will happen to my gest anymore. I don't know. At first I thought
it was you two, honestly, because you were gaslighting me. You're like,
it must be the cleaning people. The very first time it happened,
I'm like, what gaslighting me? Always like you've done something, but you're
trying to make me think it didn't happen at all. Like you two are
trying to make me feel like no one's doing anything to your desk. It's
just the cleaning people. Calm down, and I and I said, calm
down. I've learned a long time ago, never say that to a woman,
right right, because no time they actually come down because you said it
with the other words, women aren't stupid. We know you're still telling us
to calm down. And there's the other one. You never say to relax.
Yes, no ever in the history of relax does that work. You
guys are funny because if you say either of those two things to a man,
the same reaction happens. I can't say relaxed to my husband. You'll
be like, relax, What does that mean? I can't say whatever that
way. When I hear the words relax or calm down, I never get
upset. And there are I know I probably have to. And there are
women in the world who, if you say relax or calm down, won't
won't respond either, But there are definitely men who won't respond kindly because women
don't say relax or calm down. Think heether, we should set up a
camera. I've already done that. I'm going to do it myself. Have
to worry about it. There's nothing on my desk. Yeah, I just
want to, I want to say, but there's nothing there. Your keyboard
and computer, No, I don't have. You really have never looked at
my desk. I don't have a keyboarder computer. This right here is mine.
I take it home every day, so while you're on the other side,
so I would look at your there's literally there's literally nothing except a phone.
There is nothing on my head. There's really nothing to even monitor,
right, That's what I'm saying. That's what I have I not been saying
that this old time. Really there's nothing there. Z lex weather Occasional rain

the delight of previous ticket purchasers and ticket winners, they are going to honor
those tickets from a year ago. Nice. So yeah. So it'll be

So yeah. More details posted up at WZLX dot com. But they're

It's great news because we wonder if Steven Tyler would ever be able to
come back from a broken throat. Yeah, fraction larynx sounds like such a
mixed martial arts injury. Will he ever come back from his broken throats?
Because he's eighty you know, think about it. That's a great band name,
the broken Throat. Well. I always like Dane Punch, because that's
what the great Danes do to you, They punch you. That's a good
band name, too, Dean it is. I feel like I shouldn't even
reveal this, but I always thought a great band name would have been cup
Check. Ah, I do it sports practices, cup Check, Yeah,
I used to I forget that the guy's first name was Mitch. Mitch cup
Check. I'll look him up while you're wrapping up here, because I love
you as an athlete, Mitch cup Check. Yeah, I love it.
God. I wanted to follow that up with a great line from Caddy Shack,
but I can't because I'd probably get fired if I said it. Listen,
speaking of other big concerts, need I remind you there's still a few
tickets remaining for our big thirty ninth birthday bash before we get to Arrowsmith New
Year's Eve. All right, that's a long ways off there. It's nearly
eight months away. We got to worry about our thirty ninth birthday bash starring
Bush. Jerry Cantrell of Alison Chains is going to do a set Candlebox to
do us at Saturday, August twenty fourth at Leader Bank Pavilion. Jerry Cantrell
making news this week incident because he thought he had lost his prized possession,
a G and L guitar he's had since before the band got signed to a
record deal. Uh, it turned and he put out all the feelers to
say that the guitar was stolen. It didn't know. It didn't turn out
to be stolen. He did. I follow him on social and he did
a post yesterday say thank you everybody for your due diligence. And looking into
this, it turns out it was misplaced by one of the roadies. So
then they finally recovered his prized possession, you know which. I always feel
like he's in a position to have one custom made to replicate that one,
like, don't bring that on the road with you, Jerry, Come on
right, So Mitch Cupcheck, Yeah, he was a former NBA player now
general manager of the Charlotte Hornets. Good for him, Mitch Cupcheck, all
right, Today's the broadcast brought to you by Mitch Kupcheck from a Planet Fitness
Studios. NICs for making us part of your morning. Great story on one
point seven WCLX. Bosson. Seeing the story makes me think that they need
to do a remake of Gremlins, and they need to do it quick because
those of us of a certain age remember that movie. I was really little,
I was young, and it horrified me. Never saw it beginning to
end. Okay, I love that movie. Yeah, and Maguy don't do
anything like feeted after Midnight, the water on it. Yeah, you know
all those things. But one of the things that really sticks with you if
you've seen Gremlins is the story, and I'm not ruining anything because this movie
is like forty years old, is that the father of one of the characters
love to play Santa Claus, tried to shimmy his way down a chimney and
they found his body a year later. They didn't know where he was.
He was dead in the chimney, and that that moment in that movie solidified
for an entire generation of people that you cannot go into your chimney because you
will be found a year later. Correct, He'll either get stuck or you
drop straight down. And I don't think the dropping street down ever crossed my
mind because they always looked like a tiny little flue it. Yes, but
so but we knew that. And so kids these days they haven't seen Gremlins,
So remake it. Because in Whitman, the headline is child rescued after
getting stuck in a chimney at his home, and that's that's the whole story.
He was rescued the fire department had to show up, and he climbed
out of you know, to get to the chimney. By the way,
he climbed out of a second floor window and got up on the roof of
his Hartford Street home. Here's a neighbor. I'm just shocked. When I
looked up and saw him hanging out of that chimney. It was just,
you know, I shot away it saw it like I could catch him if
he fowl or I mean, he was very high up in that roof.
I know he loves his children, and to know that his son was fine
and didn't go down the chimney or down the roof, and I mean,
it was just it's just amazing all the way. I couldn't believe that's Karen
Boyd. The father got a call from his other son saying, Hey,
I just watched so and so climb out the window and onto the roof and
he's going to get in the chimney. So did you see the pictures?
Yeah, idea, they're showing him right now. And the first thing that
crossed my mind was there's no cap on that chimney. The first thing that
crossed my mind is how tall the chimney is. Away from the roof,
like it's like he's got to climb that chimney to get on top of it.
It looks like it's like it's not like seven feet high. He couldn't
hoist himself up. He couldn't even do a pull up on that. He
wouldn't be able to reach the top. How the hell did he get on
top of it? Well, on the other side, it almost looks taller
than the other side. It almost looks taller than the kid. Yeah,
no, no, I know it. But on the other side, the
tip of the roof the chimney itself is very high. But when I saw
the video, the tip of the roof on the other side looked like he
could make it, could get access. I don't think he could because I
don't think it's close enough to the I know he did, but I'm just
wondering. I think the other side of that chimney, with the tip of
the roof there, made it easier for him. Again, cap that chap
right there. No, I know that that tip is, but look at
the guy standing there next to him, the firefighter cras. The firefighter standing
at the base of that chimney was still taller than the chimney. So,
I mean, it looks that could couldn't happen at my house because I have
those three it's a it's a chimney, right, but it's kind of capped
with We got a cap. Three exhausts that are no no wider than you
know, maybe a small animal could fit in there, and then we capped
it right exactly. That's why you got the cap. I remember when we
did our house inspection in five that was he opened the thing. We don't
have a fireplace, but he opened a little uh trap at the bottom of
it in the basement and he goes, you got dead birds in the here.
He goes, you might want to cap that chimney. So that was
like first order of business. That's what we did. Not great for the
Liner two to not have it capped right, and that's expensive and again just
a Gremlin's remake, that's all we need. Yeah, this is a kid
man, what an acrobat yep zelex Weather. Occasional ring and drizzle this morning,
followed by a shower this afternoon. Highs in the fifties, claudy you
with periods of rain and a thunderstorm tomorrow. Windy highs in the sixties forty
five degrees in Boston. See how I did that there? Like the highs
in the sixties will somehow make it better? It won't. I'm Heather Ford
on a one hundred point seven. Oh, the crowd's going to be going
wild come September. It's Boston's only classic rock morning show, one hundred point
seven WZLX six nineteen. Yeah, a big announcement coming yesterday from Arrowsmith.
Their peace Out Farewell tour with the Black Crows opening up will resume. Finally
got new dates, which is the same as you old date just a year
later. So our Boston show New Year's Eve this year a TD Garden tickets
going on sale for What's left this Friday at ten am. So yeah.
The nice thing is they're previously honoring the shows or the last show that went
on sale, So if you won them or you bought them, hopefully you
still have them, they'll be validated. Also, cooler to welcome in twenty
twenty five as supposed to twenty twenty four. Well whatever, but twenty twenty
five sounds better. Yeah. Listen, now we just heard some train kept
roll and forget about the train. It's so much faster to fly. That's
why I want to send you in a guest down in New Orleans for jazz
Fest this year. Weekend too features headliners like The Stones, Foo Fighters,
Neil Young, three dozen other bands. So not only the airfare, but
five nights hotel, five nights in the Big easy if you think it can
handle it. Plus we'll get you set up with weekend passes. Well,
actually, you think about this, it's a three day festival. You know,
both weekends is three days each. VIP passes up for grabs. Five
nights hotel is actually good because that gives you a day to get down there
and settle in, and then it gives you a little recovery time after the
festival. I've heard if you stay in Orleans for five days or more,
you're not coming back. That's what I've heard, because you're dead, that
you just choose to live there permanently. You're like, you guessed it.
Old friend of mine moved down there because that's where its why and her family
were from, and he's never come back. He loves it down there.
And he also reminded me to remind you, for those of you that want
to win this flyaway trip, never call it Nolins, because just like around
if you're from Boston or around the surrounding suburbs, nobody calls this place bean
town. Nobody that's from here has ever called it dead. Take my word
for it. And so Andy wanted me to remind you guys, don't go
down there and say, hey, welcome to Nolins. We're in Nollins.
Nobody down there calls it death. Also, I've never had beans here.
Side note, Remember the candy that was called Boston Baked Beans. No,
was that something that was just around here. Maybe I don't know. They
weren't great. That tastes like they came in a little blue box, but
it was candy. Shall look it up now. They looked like the bake
beans, but they didn't taste like it. It was just processed sugar,
you know. So hey, back to New Orleans jazz Fest. How do
you win this? No forms to fill out, no calling in and being
number ten, nothing like that. All you have to do is open up
the free iHeartRadio app start listening to w ZLX Like audun you just cut your
that's all right, yeah, no big deal, okay, red hots Heather,
Yeah, they look like okay, you'll be entered to win. Listen
to the iHeartRadio app, Boston's only classic rock morning show, one hundred point
seven w ZLX six thirty one. Now run a little behind you. Forty
five degrees, clouds, fog, drizzle, It's getting young, Pete McKenzie,
Heather forward here. Celtics have left no mystery. They are winning the
Eastern Conference in the NBA and they are the number one seed. Home court,
Yeah, home court advantage throughout. Uh. There is another mystery though.
This guy, Josh from Connecticut, prior to Celtics games, is in
full uniform. Josh from Connecticut looks exactly. I'm not kidding you when I
say that, like Jalen Brown. The beard is just so manicured, you
know. It's oh yeah, yeah, I mean Josh. Jalen Brown has
a distinctive look to him. Yeah, he does. And this guy pulls
it off and people think it's him before the game. I'm not him.
People still don't believe me when I say it. They think it's a tactical
pretty much. I'm an inch shorter than him. To be fair, he
is wearing the full uniform right now. You have like a pencil so you
can teach. Okay, do you have a pencil so you can signature this.
There's one boundary that Josh will not cross. No autographs. It sucks,
especially the little kids, but at the end of the day, still
make their day. Yeah, he's gone viral, but Josh is all about
giving back, even as a clothing line dedicated to it Dino Apparel. In
fact, you want one of his shirts over here It says I look like
JB. Isn't that great? I mean, a way to make some money
off of you know, just who you look like? Damn it. You
know if I was around in the thirties, that would have been Babe Ruth
look alike what I've been told many times. I don't think you look at
it anything. I look like Babe Ruth. Your face is too thin to
be baby well when I was fatter, when I was Yeah, I don't
think so. I'm telling you I would. I'm sure there are people that
have said that to you. If you I'm not gonna I don't disbelieve you.
But it's not even it's no, it's a hard no. Okay,
well anybody else because I've also been told that I looked like the guy that
hung himself an officer and a gentleman. I haven't seen that movie. Good
Lord, you never see officer and a gentleman. Of course the late Lewis
Gossit Junior who he lost. Yeah, God, rest that's right. Remember
the guy that hung himself in that I do? I do you look like
that guy that hung himself? And a weird reference. Can you tell these
people to shut their faces? Wow, I've seen two look alikes in real
life in person that I swore up and down was the real people. The
back when we used to do bar beer gigs, one of the companies sent
me out to do a Thirsty Thursday down at Marina Bay and Quincy. That
outdoor bar was a blast. There was this dude that used to go and
sit at the bar there Marina Bay, and he was Bruce Willis. I
mean he would sit there. He had the same like side smile, the
same kind of sneer in the first lip exactly bald, I mean, his
face shape, everything. And women would flock to this guy. People would
buy him drinks and come up and say something and he never denied it.
But the bartenders knew, oh yeah, that's an impersonator. That's hilarious.
We used to work with a guy and I think it was Toledo, Ohio,
where he looked like Hoody and the blowfish or the hoodie guy. What's
his name, Darius Rugger. Darius Rugger who was at the top of his
game then back in the nineties. And this guy he would he would,
he would pull it off. Yeah, and people would just magnet it was.
He was a magnet. Yeah. That was the same type of reaction.
And then the other is whenever you two would seem to be in town
for a few days, there's a Bono impersonator and I don't know if he's
local or if he comes from out of town, but he makes it a
point to walk around and he has like the same gate when he walks like
Bono, and he walks around the city and he poses for pictures and people
and just like I guess, take advantage of it, right, Yeah,
and Ayalen Brown doesn't seem to mining. Yes, I posted on sports and
everybody's seen it. I'm aware. Are you flattering? What is it?
How do you take that? Honestly, I'm not sure. I'm not sure
how I should take you, you know, but you know, I guess
it is, you know, Phona Flattery. I'm sure I know a lot
of people got a lot of laughs out of it, So that's cool.
I guess he's a dude out there making money off my life. Yeah,
sure, I'm selling apparel and T shirts and stuff. Well, like he
said, to his credit, at least he's not signing the autographs. Yeah,
go Josh. One hundred point seven WZLX, Boston's only classic rock morning
show. Kenny Young Peter McKenzie had a Ford six forty six. Red Sox
were loses again last night at friendly Fenway Park. Carter Crawford, though again
starting pitching has not been the problem folks. He goes five of which the
Red Sox were leading. When he left, they were up five to nothing.
He strussed Cutter. Crawford struck out six good game, only gave up
two hits. It was the bullpen responsible for the loss last night. But
yeah, Socks were up five ZIP going into the top of the sixth and
then they gave up seven runs over the course of those tough losses there.
I mean, I know it's early in the season, but that's tough.
When you're up five, it is it is five As a lead. You
should hold on to bullpen. Let me just throw that out there. So
oh and two at Fenway this year, seven and three everywhere else in the
country. So good on your socks. Uh yeah, I'm trying to find
out what the attendance was last night for the game, because we were talking
about that yesterday. You know, it was always so pomp and circumstance for
the home opener. But yeah, I was trying to go through the box
score to find out what the attendance was last night. I was just curious,
you know, somewhat depent. It wasn't full, it wasn't fun.
No, I saw some highlights. Yeah yeah. Uh So listen, we
got a lot popping here at the rock and roll radio station, namely at
eight ten. That'll be your next opportunity to grab a copy of Dark Matter,
Pearl Jam's new album. All right, listen to it in its entirety
on vinyl before it even gets released officially on the nineteenth. Plus, we're
gonna hook you up with a pair of passes for a listening party. They're
doing one night only showcase. Legacy Place in detam is where we have passes
for but you can check local listings for a theater near you. Yeah,
they're doing this album launch listening party in movie theaters with the dramatics, surround
sound and all that. And I guess a bunch of visuals on the screen
for a dark matter. So no stranger to listening parties in movie theaters.
I think Metallic approved that point a few years back. All right, we
got a lot more show to go here, stay with us from a Planet
Fitness, WCLX Studios, Horizon Spin. Now, Now, thanks for making
us part of your morning headlines. Idiot, great story one WCLX Boston.
It's in entire headlines of mystery. That's what we're gonna do. We're gonna
solve mysteries. And when I say solve, I mean not solve, I
mean just tell you about them. And I'm just gonna I wasn't gonna start
out with this, but I'm just gonna show. Pete, uh, Pete.
Do you see what that is right there? Can you make out there?
That looks like a small boat, like a rowboat? Yeah? How
did it get there? Is the headline on CVB boat struck by MBTA commuter
rail near Porter Square. That's like someone left a rowboat on the tracks.
It wasn't like someone was crossing the tracks and they had a boat on the
back and he got hit. It was just like someone left the boat sitting
in the middle of the porter platform with what appears to be damage to its
left side. Maybe they tappened on the overnight, so maybe a train didn't
hit it. They just left a broken boat on a on a platform.
Who's walking around with the rowboat? I don't know, crazy kids. I
have no idea what's going on. I have no way to get it home.
I mean, is it a senior prank? There's probably a video out
there. The other things got to be cameras. I mean, this is
Cambridge. I mean there's got to be someone who's like, at least find
yeah, find out who abandoned it. You can't just walk in there and
pull it out out of your backpack and just leave it. No, it's
a collapsible boat unless it's a collapse right second. Thing, we're trying to
figure out how this child in Whitman was able to to get himself into a
chimney. Now I mentioned it earlier this morning. They need to remake Remlins
because for all of us that saw Gremlins, which is Pete hasn't Kenny and
I did. There's a pivotal moment where one of the character's fathers, they
tell the story of how he died. He tried to be Santa. He
got stuck in the chimney. They foundhim a year later. And I never
once after that thought to myself, I'm going to scurry down that chimney.
Not that I could, but it never crossed my mind after that. Kids
don't see that anymore. They need to know that chimneys are scary. This
boy, his brother called dad and said, hey, I saw so and
so climbing out the window and onto the roof, and that's when he got
stuck in the chimney. Here's the neighbor, Karen Boyd, talking about what
she saw. I just shocked when I looked up and saw him hanging out
of that chimney. It was just, you know, I shot away it
saw it like I could catch him if he fowl. I mean, he
was very high up in that room. I know he loves his children,
and to know that his son was fine and didn't go down the chimney or
down the roof, and I mean, it was just it's just amazing.
All the way, I couldn't believe. The mystery for all of us is
how did this tiny child get up this what seems to be an obnoxiously tall
chimney. Yeah, like even from the peak of the roof, it looks
like the top of that capitalist chimney. By the way, there's no cap
on. Yeah, how did he live? Because the chimney, right,
because the chimney looks like it's about maybe a little less than six feet because
there was a firefighter standing next to it, and he was a little taller
than it. But other than that, like, how did this child do
that? Should we interview the child? This kid a child you know what
without the parents' consent? Right, well, yes, without it, it
doesn't say. But honestly, looking at the picture, he looks like he's
about nine, maybe ten. I would love to hear the thirty second to
a minute story of how he climbed in there, Yeah, explains chimney.
I'd love to hear, like what his endgame was? What was the goal
of this to go down to the bottom and pop out and be like,
yeah up? Isn't that really for any child thinking about or maybe to see
if Santa really can go through a chick ya. How would he know that
because he knows he's not Santa's eye right? Oh right, Well, if
he's so little, did Sanna uses magic dust to get down chimney? Were
children? Angel changes his molecular structure to get down a chimney? Never crossed
my mind as a child. Everyone knows that. My biggest fear as a
child was the fact that my parents kept that fire, the woodburning stove going
all the time. It's how we heated our house. So I was thought,
and it was a woodburning stove. It wasn't like a big open face
with stockings hanging off of it. It was a heat source. And I
was like, he is going to get burned? But magic, I didn't
know it was magic involved. And the other mystery. So we have a
boat on the platform in Cambridge, we have a kid. How did he
get up into a chimney? And then out of Lincoln, Massachusetts police are
looking for the person responsible for abusing and a band puppy puppy, I mean,
this is a Chihuahua terrier mix. This thing maybe the size of a
hand and it just left who We had a cat in a strawberry dress yesterday.
I looked that story up this morning to see if the owners. I
saw nothing. Nope, I saw nothing on that I looked at. This
dog, estimated to be about three four months old, suffered significant injuries to
its eye and head. He had injuries to his eye as well as some
trauma to his eye as well as to his to his face. It's awful.
There's so many options for folks who can't care for their for an animal.
There are all kinds of shelters that folks can you drop off an animal
that they can no longer care for. It's deserving. This no justification for
it. Yes, Lincoln Police Chief Sean Kennedy, I will tell you that
they're not sure if those injuries happened before or after that poor little tiny dog
was abandoned. Please don't abandon your tiny dogs, especially tiny ones. You
just put them in a little kennel. You just keep them in place.
It's not like a great Dane bring them to a shelter, or you bring
them to a shelter. No. But I mean like, if you're going
to leave them near somewhere, don't leave them somewhere where they're going to get
hurt. Leave them somewhere where someone can rescue them. Yes, yes,
z lex weather, occasional rain, so all those are mysteries, none of
them are solved. Occasional rain and drizzle this morning, followed by a shower
this afternoon. Highs in the fifties, cloudy with periods of rain, in
a thunderstorm tomorrow, windy, highs in the sixties, forty five degrees in
Boston. I'm heather Ford on one hundred point seven w ZLX seven twenty three,
forty five, drizzly, gray, a little dreary. It's kitty young
Pete McKenzie, heather forward Well. A lot of excitement here at headquarters this
morning as one of those giant crane trucks was hoisting up. We just watched
it in awe at the precision, the mastery of this crane truck that was
right outside our studios here is lifting some sort of HVAC condenser up onto the
roof that little traffic department we were talking about, which is probably what fifty
x seventy five feet maybe, Yeah, the construction getting their own HVAC unit,
I guess, to the roof Unionaire breathing a simple airware breathing over here.
They're getting their union. They're going to be glassed off and walled off
over there, so we're not able to breathe. Ye, it's probably gonna
smell like lavender and elderberrys too. That sounds lovely, doesn't it. Hey
listen, no one hit the power ball last night, which means, uh,
Saturday's drawing will be forty six mil. No chump change. But that's
uh, that's less than half of what Mega Millions is going to be Tomorrow
Night's Mega Million's pete one hundred and twenty with the fifty five mil cash option.
Let's go, let's get that cash. Let's get some money in your
pocket. Yeah. I don't know if you remember, but we really don't
play Kenny until it gets to two hundred. All right, Well, I'll
be buying Mega Millions tickets on my own. I'll tell you I always do
the side hustle for the wife and I and our large extended families. Uh
listen, let me tell you about something with much better odds. It's not
going to cost you a dime, and it could potentially earn you a thousand
dollar an hour thirteen times every weekday. Yes, Monday, we'll see the
return of one thousand dollars bribe dollar bills, y'all if you can make in
a more legal, easier way one thousand dollars an hour where all ears would
like to hear about it? All right, listen, we ran and pass
the suits in corporate so to your benefit. Starting at nine to ten on
Monday morning, listen to that first keyword, I'm going to earn you a
cool one thousand dollars payoff. And they continue thirteen times every weekday here on
ZLA, Boston's only classic rock morning show. No now is not the time
to call in for your copy of Pearl Jams new record, Dark Matter.
Can I already see the phone lines lighting up? You have to wait till
eight ten for that. We've been doing it all week. Win up before
you can buy it. Plus hooking you up with passes to see to go
to Showcase Legacy Place in Denham for a multimedia album launch. It's a listening
party in the movie Theater on one night only, April sixteenth, next Tuesday,
so we'll have your tickets. First of three coming up at eight ten
here this morning. It's Kenny Young, Pete McKenzie, Heather Forward. Yeah,
let's do it it's what's going on? The Master is what's going on
with Boston's only classic rock morning shows? On one twinty seven, will you
see elect they've already moved to tea times. I was supposed to start at
eight am down in Augusta, Georgia. Hold on, Hold on a second,
Peter, I'm sorry. We can't start a Master's segment without Oh,
bring him on. I love this guy. Let's do it. Let's do
it. Hold on, here we go tradition unlike the other the Master's point.
Yeah, oh my god, what is that from nineteen eighty was that
he still he was doing it forty years ago. He was doing it forever.
Yeah. Jim Nantz the Great Jim Nance shel March madness. But he
will be back for the Masters. H The Tea Times have been moved to
two and a half hours to ten thirty? Is it rain? Wind?
What's going on a little bit of both? They're talking about thirty to thirty
five mile an hour? Cuss down there, you know what, throwing a
throw a pull over on not up. I mean, we all do it.
We've all played in the rain and the wind. Yeah, but I
mean they let the weather clear out for a little bit. In two hours,
everybody will get to play today, get their own. So I just
the only I just wanted to share my theory on this. With this weather
over the next couple of days at the Masters, it's got to affect your
picks. It has to mm hm. You you you know, you do
a little research. You find guys that can play in bad weather. Some
say the Europeans, the UK players rights are prone to that weather. They
grew up playing in the gravitate to those guys, okay, And then you
go to the bulldogs too, you know, like like which one of your
son's heathers the bigger bulldog, Like he's not going to say, he's not
gonna quit. Both of them, they're both bull they're both bulldogs, all
right, so you they both need no motivation from anyone but themselves. I
just appreciate guys like that. I mean, that's a great I attribute that
to the parents too, No, they were born that way. Really mine
where I do nothing my husband, I are just like do your your husband's
a bulldog? Noo, we're both the same. Yeah. Yeah, So
I always always, uh gravitate towards those kind of golfers because there's a certain
you know, there are certain golfers that love everything perfect, you know,
like tennis players. There are certain tennis players that need everything perfect. Like
one the one that comes to mind is Dustin Johnson. Everything's got to be
perfect for you know, everything's got to be conditions, conditions. Yeah,
everything's got to be perfect. They are perfect. Does he nail it?
Yeah? Oh of course. But when things are a little bit off,
well, it starts with his choice of wife. You know, you can
start there with Gretzky. Absolutely. So the team that I put together and
you follow, you can follow along. You know, I've entered this team
in a contest. There are let me hear, you can't ignore Scheffler because
I know he's the number one player in the world. But he's a bulldog.
He is a bulldog. He can play in anything. Okay, But
here's my argument against Scotty Scheffler, and that is his putting. How many
times have you seen him from like five feet and in and let's face it,
August is a very tough place to putt. It is for sure.
For those reasons, I'm out. And some question where's he from? Yeah
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean country.
I don't mean high school did he go to? I just mean right,
all right, so was America. He's won two tournaments already this year,
finished second and one by missing a five foot putt. He finished second
the other point there. Yeah, Brian Harmon maybe maybe you don't know him
country. He's the United States representative and sixty five to one he won the
Open. He won the British Open in you know, crappy British weather.
Okay, I like it. Matthew Fitzpatrick now he's English. Yes, he's
won the US Open at the country club. This guy keeps a book like
nobody does for the greens, like other players want his book. Yeah,
the way he diagrams the greens out. So Matthew puts Patrick Nick Taylor a
Canadian bulldog. The Canadian have no choice. There's a lot of fires there,
Yeah, to play all sorts of weirdness. Cam Smith another one from
Europe who's a bulldog like this guy. Now he's he could be one of
these probably, I don't know what it is. Odds Kenny camp Smith.
Camp Smith in about two seconds, he's thirty three and one. Yes,
he said he's thirty three to one. Odds right, Yeah, and then
Harris English He's ours and JT. Post and those are my those who is
the worst odds worst odds long show. You might find Fred Couples down there.
Emiliano Emiliano Grillo and Lucas Glover and Adam Hadwin are at three hundred to
one odds. I like Glover, Lucas is, Yeah, he's he's my
pick. He's in his forties, still my pick. Yeah, I feel
like it's his day. You know why he likes Rain? No, I
don't know. I just made it up or where he's from. I know
nothing about him. I'm going right to the site now. I'm putting some
money in g lumber just because you said that I'd like to throw my long
shots into the pool. And uh, you're gonna think I'm I'm my little
crazy, but I think just to win outright, I'm gonna pick the twenty
twenty one former Masters Champion and first ever Japanese professional golfer and Hideki Matsiyam.
It's a good pick. I'm picking him to go and win it outright.
But another contender I'm strong and I'm leaning towards is Wyndham Clark Wyndham Clark's another
good pick. And if you've been watching Full Swing two on Netflix, you'll
see Wyndham Clark as he got a swing shrink and it has completely altered and
changed his game. And I feel like he's got the steady Eddy nerves to
withstand sports psychologists. Yeah, to be the biggest cry baby on the planet
and seriously, and he went to the sports psychologist and he straight and slapped
him around a bit. He probably did dress together, baby. Yeah,
I might regret not taking him because he does well in the major. Take
him. I have time, I have two and a half hours. So
if Heather's going for I had what you said, had one Glover, Oh
Glover, You're gonna go with Glover. So my absolute long shot pick that
I'll probably put like two dollars on is a dude name thorbiorn Olison. Oh
yeah, he's in Gomark. He's learn a couple of times on the European
Tour. Thorbiorn Olison, the thirty four year old. Yeah, he's won
eight times on the European Tour. So you never know. I mean it
could it could be a dark horse, It could be somebody that comes out
of nowhere. Two and twenty to one odds, twenty guys in this tournament
that have never played in a tournament at Augusta. Now, you may have
played the course here and there, but first time, there's twenty of them.
That's like a quarter of the field. Yeah, playing for the first
time. If we can talk about what's really important at the Masters, it's
that they've maintained the prices of their concessions, Like did you know you can
get accessions or one thing, but the price to get in is ridiculous,
right right, Well that's probably why they keep the food and drink down there.
Did you know you can get an egg salad sandwich for dollar fifty?
Still at the Masters, the famous their famous pimento cheese is still a dollar
for it. Did buy your birthday gift yesterday? Exited for the eggs?
The eggs make all the eggs salad you want now actually to perfection oil just
like I like him, Jammy. For as much as the eggs and the
mannings, then you don't even have to pay a buck fifty. Nice pop
quiz Before we get into some lowrider here, or as we get into some
lowrider here, pop quiz, how much is a domestic beer this weekend at
the Mass four dollars and fifty dollars Heather Ford six bucks to get a beer
at the Mask. I was right on, really good? Are you listening
all other venues everywhere? From a Planet Fitness w Sex Studios. Now,
thanks for making that part of your Morning Lines with Heather Idiot. Great store
on seven WCLX Boston almost looks like a fake picture, like there it's a
movie set and there's a child eight, nine, ten, eleven years old
I don't know, just popped into the chimney of his home. I mean
he's sticking out of the chimney from his waist up. It's a is it?
Yeah, it is. It's always It's been on TV all morning.
Quintman, it's a your story. It's out of whitman. Child rescued after
getting stuck in chimney. That was the headline on CVB. And I will
tell you that the brother of this child called their dad and said, hey,
so and so just climbed out of the second floor window onto the roof,
where the child scurried up the roof and then plopped himself into the chimney.
So two story house, not a ranch, no big house. Yeah,
big house, house, very high. Yeah, even the chimney is
like unnaturally high off the peak of the roof. Yeah, that's what I'm
saying. He hoist himself up there, and it's an extended chimney. It's
about it looks like it's five to six feet that high, the chimney part
which does stick out, And I mean, I maybe we have a bad
angle and he was able to just do it from the tip of the roof
the peak there and like drag himself up. Kids can do all sorts of
weird things. How many people with kids are going to wake up today see
that story and show them Gremlins and then say we need to put a cap
on the top of our chimney. I mean most of us have a cap.
Yeah, yes, yeah, not that one. Yeah, remake Gremlins.
Show kids that there's a character in there that you don't ever meet,
that gets stuck in a chimney and dies. It's not found for a year.
No one should be in a chimney. Don't crawl down it, don't
think about it, don't go near it. And there's one adventurous kidanefully he's
okay, did we find out how old he is? It's like eighty No.
I was just looking at the picture. I mean, he's tiny enough
to put himself into a chimney. Here's neighbor Karen Boyd just shocked when I
looked up and saw him hanging out of that chimney. He was just you
know, and I shot away it saw it like I could catch him if
he fowl or I mean, he was very high up in that roof.
I know he loves his children, and to know that his son was fine
and didn't go down the chimney or down the roof, and I mean,
it was just it's just amazing all the way. I couldn't believe. Let's
stick with children for a second. This headline did not surprise me, but
made me sad. Uh that said school bus driver in Massachusetts assaults a witness
to an accident in Millis. It happened when a sixty three year old bus
driver who has now been charged with as salt and battery and negligent operation of
a motor vehicle marked lane's violation and a proper turn in connection with what happened
yesterday. So the bus driver's trying to do a three point turn in the
process hit some garbage cans hit some bushes. A witness came from what I
can read, A witness has happened on Village Street and Pine View from when
I can see A person who saw it happen then confronted them, and then
the bus driver, a sixty three year old man, started to push the
witness around and they were then arrested. What do you mean a sixty three
year old man? The way he said that, I'm sixty one, Why
would you Why would you be pushing anyone? I don't know. If they
pushed you people, they pushed you back, what would happen to you?
That would have happened at forty? There you go, then sixty three.
I'm just wondering. So I have for first of all, we can't get
bus drivers in any of our towns, like no one wants to be a
buzzer. So I have seen buses recently try to do turns and do things,
and things get touched and things get I'm not reporting it to anyone,
I'm not. I mean a garbage can and some bushes, yeah, I
mean that probably not. But also you don't want someone who is driving a
bus who's easy to anger, because kids can anger everyone when they're in large
groups, like there were over forty kids on this bus. There were forty
eight students. They're little, tiny, little people, but there were still
forty eight students. Both parts of this seem sad, the fact that he
went to the anger and also the fact that someone felt they needed to confront
him about some garbage cans. Yeah, I don't know, and maybe in
Azalea, which is a nice bush. Yeah, but I don't know if
I would necessarily lose my mind. Ye. So anyway, so that's an
ongoing. By the way, the principal rode the bus with the students on
the way home, just in case they had things they wanted to talk about,
like the fact their bus traver was pushing someone on the side of the
road. You know where they have really nice Azalea is is down there at
Augusta Kenny Masters the corner. What is that the twelfth hole Azalea. Well,
I don't know what I know the holes have names down there. Sorry,
I'm just going to continue to vibe on the Master's music. Heather,
go ahead. Oh no, I didn't know if you were doing anything after
it, Oh, like a talk. I just wanted an excuse to play
this. It's the lexweather. Occasional rain and drizzle this morning, followed by
a shower this afternoon. High's in the fifties, clouding with periods of rain

I got a couple of stolen vehicle stories I could not pass up from the
police blodder on a national level. They're not local stories because we're better than
that, because we're better than this. So this one is in Tulsa,
Oklahoma, where the police get an alert that there's a report of a stolen
vehicle being spotted. It's a white Jeep Liberty. So they catch up to
this vehicle pull it over. Angela Harrison is behind the wheel. Claimed that
she was at a gas station an hour earlier when she ran into a former
customer of hers from the waffle house, who gave her a ten dollars bill
and the suv that she was driving as a birthday gift. For her upcoming
fifty third birthday. It's not even a milestone birthday. So what did police
do. They whip out a picture of the stolen vehicle. She's driving it
from four months ago, so she couldn't explain how she just got it an
hour ago. Yeah, exactly, when they have a picture of her behind
the wheel. She stole it four months ago. She stole it four months
ago. She's been driving around with it for four months. Yes, that's
nuts. And the other beauty is out of Michigan is good one too.
So Michigan State Police, they they get word of the stolen vehicle and they
send a helicopter out to chase it California right right so that the helicopter's chasing
it, they catch up to it. The guys on the ground are informed
that it's pulled into a fast food restaurant. That this vehicle is now in
a fast food restaurant. By the time the police get there, the guy
has gone through the line or got his food, so they you know,
they immediately arrest and put his handcuffs on. But then when they found out
that he had paid for his food, they let him sit in the back
of the cruiser before they took him in and finished his Listen, we're gonna
bring in in book you, but first, why didn't you finish up that
mcdouble? All right? Unbelievable? Wow, I mean I just can't imagine
stealing number one, stealing a vehicle and then going to a fast food restaurant
to pick something. I'll listen, really angry at the time. Right,
you're gonna tell me he got into like alternate forms of stolen transportation, Like
remember when people were stealing for cliffs front end loaders. Oh yeah, just
weird crap. Right. I even remember a story years ago. Used to
climb into those as kids, hoping the keys would be in it and magic
kind of disaster that bobcats Right, And I wasn't there a story years ago
too of a tank got stolen from some museum or something that a tank was
going down the street or was that just a guy out of his mind?
I don't, I don't know. Man. Well, I'm sure the people
in Hudson are their ears are perked up? Yeah? Well you for that
history knew that tank museum exactly? Hey, perk your ears up? Coming
up at eight forty here in our classic rock clash name that tune on the
way. I got more riffs for you in order for you to win a
copy of the Who's Live at Chase Stadium w z l X for the police

riffs. So you're gonna have to just name that tune three out of five?
You ready? Ready? All right, We're gonna start you off a
little easy on this one. All right, tried and true favorites, classics
we play here on the station. Name that tune, Crystal, all right?
That led? Yeah, I know that would be three seconds. Name
that tune. People are yelling, we just heard black dogs. See that's
how we got you tripped up there. We were looking for Kashmere Cashmere one.
Let's stick with some fellow Brits for number two here, Okay, name
that tune, Crystal. What's that? That is a hundred present? Correct?
Nicely done. I navigated your way through the clash during the clash.
That's the first. Because I was sitting there yesterday going welcome. I've never

That's all that matters. No pictures on the scorecard, as we say
to me, the best part was getting to hear all five of Kenny riffs.
I know's a bonus. All right, I'll give you a bonus.
I guess this was a tune we used to play a lot, but it's
kind of fallen by the wayside, sadly. But it's one of the top
five reasons I picked up a guitar. See if you can name this gun
Slinger from Texas? Can you name that too? I can't, but I

of you making one thousand dollars an hour? Oh? Of course, Kenn
neither. Well, here's your chance to earn the Pete McKenzie payroll. I
can do. Any people in the building are making one thousand bucks an hour,
thousand bucks of them. It's probably the electricians and the contractors that are
outside for studios right here. So yeah, a thousand dollars bribe returns thirteen
shots to grab a grand nine ten A to nine ten p. It's back
on Monday here at Zlex. Listen on the way. Next, we've got
the band that just recently announced their scheduled fiftieth anniversary tour for your listening pleasure.
There after this Boston's only classic rock morning show. That that groove just
swings. That groove can last for days at a time. Nine fourteen On
this Thursday, Thursday, Thursday, we're Thurston for the weekend, forty six
degrees. It's kiddy Young Pete McKenzie head a forward. Grod never disappoints when
he makes public appearances. Boston Public Schools yesterday benefited from the Gronk family on
a one hundred and fifty thousand dollars workout room. Wow, that's pretty cool.
That is so Gronk was in town yesterday presenting of course. And this
is where you come in and this is where you dominate and get to the
next level. So thank you guys once again for this opportunity. Boston Public
Schools, thank you very much. Thank you to all you guys being here.
Brock Fenness Baby New England. Three Super Bowl champions while we're here,
because this is the city of champions, Baby, very good. Yeah,
they were talking to some of the you know, the athletic director, kind
of the coaches about how it was when they grew up and they didn't have
any kind of facilities like this. You know, it was free weights in
their garage and stuff for them to work out. So I thought that that's
pretty cool. That's pretty cool, nice way to give back to his former
community. I wonder if he still has his house down in Foxboro. I
don't know, but I love how our champions, you know, they still
touch base with the city of Boston. I heard Brady made a huge donation
too, to the Esplanade, the Riverfront, nice public lands over there,
because he says that was his backyard for so many years when he had that
brownstone in the back bay. That's good stuff. Yeah, nice to see
them giving back. The other guy saw yesterday and we just talked about him
too, was Movaon. Oh yeah aause we were reminiscing about the team from
twenty years ago that won the World Series on opening Day here at Fenway.
The name mo Vaughn came up in our discussion. Can yeah, because I
had said, I remember the most famous hit, the hit the ever had
was that walk off Grand Salami in April of ninety eight at Fenway. So
he's talking about if you've paid attention to Major League Baseball at also far this
year, there have been several starting pitchers, much like in the NFL last
year when several starting quarterbacks went down early in the season. There's been like
a handful of starting pitchers that have gone down this year, including our own
Nick Paveta in Major League Baseball, and somebody expressed to move on. Is
it the pitch clock? Is that why? Because you know they have to
rush, you know, within twenty seconds throw the next pitch. Mova On
says, huh huh. People talk about velocity, people talk about spin rate
on sliders and curveballs. When you're out there giving max effort every pitch,
you are going to get hurt. That's my philosophy behind it. You look
at a lot of the great guys that pitched and played the game. They're
cruising, and they're cruising at ninety two, ninety three to ninety four,
and then when that situation the game comes up, they reached back and they
start throwing ninety seven when they need that. But that's knowing how to pitch,
knowing how to put the ball the right places, not giving max effort
until you need to, no continuous max effort, which we're very good at
right here. Yeah, you get know when to ramp up, and that's
it went to back off on the throttle a little more. Right between seven
thirty and you know, eight thirty were max effort. You know, before
and after that, you know, we're just ramping up. We're ramping up,
putting on an adaptable cruise roll something like that. Yes, well,
for hockey fans, we got to wait till Saturday for the first of the
final three games for our Boston Bruins. They traveled to Pittsburgh, So I
guess John Henry is going to be excited about that because, you know,
being part owner of the Penguins. So that's Saturday night at eight o'clock.
Yeah, let's not forget about that. But tonight, big deal, big
deal for two local teams, Boston College, you number one in the country,
and Boston University out in Minnesota. Tonight is the Frozen four semis and
they're both in it in Minnesota. Yeah, the first game is BEU against
Denver at five o'clock ESPN two, and then BC takes on Michigan Big Blue
at eight thirty. So it's conceivable, Beaten Heather, It's conceivable as we
sit here right now at Boston University in Boston College could end up playing each
other for the national title smells like a Boston parlay. What a rivalry?
BU and BC Celtics are in action against the NIXT tonight, aren't they?
Or if you want, I mean, yeah, I was just thinking BUBC
two Lake parlay right there. I'd throw a Lincoln into that pool. No,
No, I like the I like the odds of that happening, all
right, Yeah, I like BU over Denver and BC over Michigan. Ten
bucks apiece? Ten bucks apiece? Is that good? That means I gotta
I gotta cash in those cans and bottles in my garage, doesn't it?
One points uz alix s Boston's only Classic rock morning Show, nine forty seven
forty six. What you see is what you get, I hate to tell
you. Yeah. Mixture of uh drizzle rain on and off throughout the day.
It's cloudy, overcast. We'll get through it, though, as they're
just inching creeping closer towards the weekend. Right. It's Kenny Young, heather
Ford, pe McKenzie, duck it on a little early today, a big
appointment at a meeting. He's got a little something something something he had to
uh spend a little extra time driving to this morning. So uh yeah,
he ducked out, ducked out a little early. I think he was just
hungry. I'm listening to the music you're playing. I just want you to
know that I'm watching the Masters like live feed right now. And they just
said Jack is it Jack Nicholas? Jack Nicholas? And he looks like what
Michael J. Fox would have looked like as an elderly person if he hadn't
had Parkinson's. You know how Michael J. Fox everything kind of all.
Yeah, Jack Nicholas looks exactly like Michael J. Fox looks like him.
Wow. Interesting, interesting take interesting. Yeah, Master's first round delay due
to weather rain, wind. So now first tea times aren't until ten thirty
here this morning. But those of you that are probably at work right now
and you got your you got your laptop or your phone going at masters dot
com trying to watch the feed, Yeah, you gotta wait till ten thirty.
It's very green there, Oh, it is like you. I mean,
I'm only looking at this because you guys were talking about it all morning,
Otherwise I wouldn't have this on it all. But it's very green and
it's a little bit of blue sky. So they're probably going to start when
they said they starting. Yeah, And you know, like I always say,
this is like one of the only tournaments that my wife will actually sit
down and watch because it's so pretty. It's because it's so pretty out there
exactly. And usually it's not till like Sunday that she'll she'll start watching,
and then she'll say, all right, who's in the lead, who's in
the lead. We did have a talk back here from w z alexi's most
impressive listener, Joanne, regarding the Masters. Yes, Joanne, I knew
that you guys put down money on the Masters, and so that's a reason
why you watch it. But do you actually sit there and just watch golf?
Yeah? And like I play golf with my husband sometimes, like I'm
find playing it, but I can't watch it. Do you just watch it?
I guess what I'm really asking is, would you actually sit there and
watch two days of other people playing golf if you did not have money on
it? No, I don't watch golf, But you're not asking me.
I think she was asking the room in general. I can tell you even
though Pete's not here, Yes, he regularly watches golf, even if he
doesn't wager on it. But more often than not he's wagering on it.
I rarely ever weigher on golf or wager in general. But yeah, I
will sit, even if it's not the Master, even if it's not a
major tournament, I'll sit and I'll watch golf on the weekend. My kids
will not watch any of the sports they play. They get bored watching it
when they'd rather play it. Yeah, all of it. I kind of
was that way when I was younger, but then as I got a little
bit older and got into it, I'm like, yeah, there's stuff to
watch here. But yeah, I mean, I'll try to watch all four
days this weekend with the majors, you know what I mean. I love
the major tournaments, as many golf fans do. But yeah, I know
it's like watching paint dry for most but for those of us enthusiasts in the
game, Yeah I can. I can sit there and watch it because usually
I'm not betting, so I don't have an emotional connection to it, just
like you know with past Super Bowls and stuff. If my team's not in
it, I can watch it more freely and I don't have to get all
anxious and nervous about it. So yeah, if you're not gambling on it,
it's easy to watch if you're a golf fan, right, and as
they said, the scenery those pimento sandwiches for a book fifty So anyway,
yeah, that's our Masters rap. We'll see who's in the lead by this
time tomorrow. Meanwhile, let me give you a little heads up. Carter
Allen on his way in next here, King of the mid Days. He's
got your next copy of Pearl Jam's new record Dark Matter before it even goes
on sale. When you're copy on vinyl. Plus, they'll have a pair
of passes to give away to the listening party to launch this global event at
Showcase Legacy Place, Detum next Tuesday. Win your way in with Carter coming
up next at eleven ten and Chuck, we'll have your hook up at three
ten this afternoon. Hey, while you're getting to work and you're gonna be
watching those other screens and ignoring work watching the Masters, keep in mind we
have one hundred point seven minutes commercial free with Carter kicking off at ten thirty.
We'll catch you tomorrow. Good job, well done here weo and fiping
out over you say over, Boston's only classic rock morning show return to tomorrow
morning five thirty to ten till then think about doing the same with the McKenzie,
heather Ford and Kenny. If it stops, what's stomping it and what's
behind what's stomping it? So what's the end? You know? At one seven WCLA
