We are live, we are local, and 24 00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:35.439 we are going to spend the evening with you because 25 00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:36.159 we want to. 26 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:39.560 It's ten eight Eastern time. 27 00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:41.120 Yep, we are here. 28 00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:45.319 I am not a recording.

Okay, they often overlap. I 33 00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:06.799 mean sometimes, like you know, the last day of Honiko 34 00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:10.520 will be like, you know, Christmas or something. But sometimes 35 00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:14.759 because we're on a lunar calendar. I'm Jewish, and because 36 00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:18.560 we're on a lunar calendar, our holidays come at a 37 00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:23.000 different time every year. It's always an adventure. So this 38 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:25.360 is the first time this has happened since two thousand 39 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:30.759 and five. It won't happen again till twenty thirty five. 40 00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:34.439 So pretty amazing when you think about it. But I 41 00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:37.800 hope everybody had a nice Christmas. Those that celebrated you 42 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:38.479 have a nice one. 43 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:44.360 I had a wonderful Christmas. Nancy Grant, I spent it alone, 44 00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:48.120 just too all of us. I spoke to my son 45 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:55.840 and he sent me for Christmas Starlight. I think it's 46 00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:03.199 called it's a computer like i'll call device that I 47 00:03:03.240 --> 00:03:06.560 can put pictures in it, and he can from something. 48 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.919 I've seen those. I've seen those, yes, yes, And he. 49 00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:16.080 Put a picture of my grandson James playing with the 50 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:18.159 Hess truck I sent him for the holidays. 51 00:03:18.319 --> 00:03:18.520 Ah. 52 00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:19.639 Yes. 53 00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:21.400 So how cool is that? 54 00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:24.080 It will get a lot of use over the next 55 00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:27.120 I don't know how many photos that can hold. Hopefully 56 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:31.120 it's infinity because we'll be sending photos back and forth 57 00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:32.280 for years and years. 58 00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:36.800 I understand completely. So we've got a bunch of stuff 59 00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:40.360 we want to talk about tonight, but before we do, 60 00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:45.560 I've got a quick question for you. You've been doing 61 00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:49.960 trivia since forever. I mean I have you on the radio. Yeah, 62 00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:55.680 as far back as nineteen eighty. Somewhere you told me, 63 00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:58.960 and I may have misheard you, but somewhere you told 64 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.840 me the DAWs Bosler was the first person that you 65 00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:04.719 had as your own guest on your own show. Am 66 00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:06.360 I remembering that incorrectly? 67 00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:11.360 No? You are one. You see. When I did radio 68 00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:14.240 originally on U and R, I was on at two 69 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:18.920 a M. 70 00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:20.040 Yep. 71 00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:22.959 So I couldn't do guests. I just took phone calls 72 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:26.399 and played TV themes and killed two hours. But once 73 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:30.879 I went to fifteen ten, I decided, now I can 74 00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:33.879 have guests. I was on both in the afternoons and 75 00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:38.319 early evenings, and he does but it was scheduled to 76 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:42.279 be on with me for one hour. He stayed for 77 00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:44.519 all three hours of my show. 78 00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:45.839 So cool. 79 00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:47.600 I loved that. 80 00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:50.079 Amazing. That have been amazing. 81 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:55.319 I knew his name separate from mel Blank. Oh yeah, 82 00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.839 because a lot of the cartoons I got enjoyment out 83 00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:00.360 of Hanna Ba Barricard tunes. 84 00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:06.560 Yeah, like Dowes Butler who he Dawes Butler did. Like 85 00:05:06.839 --> 00:05:14.160 the voices it wasn't he like Yogi Bear and. 86 00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.759 And Quick Drama, Garar and Yep, Pixie and Dixie, so 87 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:17.000 many different voices. 88 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:21.399 Yes, absolutely must have been very cool to have him 89 00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:23.120 on the air so. 90 00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:28.240 And to have him for three hours, yeah, I'll give 91 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:33.600 I'll give you a comparison. Three weeks ago, I got 92 00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:38.920 Mickey Dolans to come on. Yes, Nicky Dolans had several restrictions. 93 00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.839 I could only have him for fifteen minutes. I can 94 00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:46.560 only talk about a few different subjects. Primarily his album 95 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:50.759 that Yeah has been released and dows Butler let me 96 00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:55.480 just flow all over his subject matter, working for Walter Lance, 97 00:05:56.279 --> 00:06:00.759 working for MGM Cartoons, and then our obviously of course 98 00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:02.319 Santa Barbara Cartoons. 99 00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:05.959 Hey, that's that's what I missed the most about the 100 00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:09.399 and I'm saying this with air quotes, good old days. 101 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:12.480 There were some good old things about the way we 102 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.680 used to be able to do radio, Okay. I mean 103 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:21.480 when I discovered the rock band Rush, Okay, I couldn't 104 00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:24.439 do that today because today it's all like, you know, 105 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:26.600 you got to have a focus group, and you got 106 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:30.079 to have like sixteen people researching it, and there's a 107 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:34.519 playlist and there were always these things, of course, but 108 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:39.839 we music directors had a lot more freedom. And similarly, 109 00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:42.199 when you had guests on in the old days, they 110 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:45.360 were glad to be on, so they were talk about 111 00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:46.759 anything terrific. 112 00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:51.319 I had Dwayne Hipman on, who was Tobie Gillis, and 113 00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.879 he said, you want me to come on and talk 114 00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:56.800 about a series I did twenty years ago? 115 00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:59.920 Yesp So that were the people. 116 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:00.920 Who'd want to hear about it. 117 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:04.519 I said, you have there, and it's it's such a 118 00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:09.000 different world. I mean, today it is so unusual if 119 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:12.399 you can get someone who will talk about any subject, 120 00:07:12.600 --> 00:07:15.560 you know, the things with the restrictions, that's for real. 121 00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:19.040 But when they were up and coming, they were just 122 00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:22.800 happy as could be. When I hung out with Bruce Springsteen, 123 00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:24.560 and I don't want to name drop, but I mean, 124 00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:27.199 come on, I was a rock and roll DJ. When 125 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:29.519 I hung out with Bruce Springsteen and we were going 126 00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:32.519 to do an interview, there were no restrictions. It was like, 127 00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:35.040 it'll talk about whatever you want to talk about. 128 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:36.920 World. 129 00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:44.920 The personalities of back in the day understood that the 130 00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:49.560 radio person that was conducting an interview or the magazine 131 00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:55.839 article writer, we respected what they represented. 132 00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:56.560 Yep. 133 00:07:56.839 --> 00:08:00.720 Now would we expose the fact that now, I'm not 134 00:08:00.759 --> 00:08:04.600 saying Bruce Springsteen did this, but I'm saying that Bruce 135 00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:09.199 Springsteen kept a seventeen year old girl tied up on 136 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:12.360 an airplane so when he traveled he have company. 137 00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:21.120 Oh you heard about that. Now, Bruce was clean as 138 00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:23.759 a whistle. But even if he hadn't been, Even if 139 00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:26.879 he hadn't, we would never have mentioned it. There were 140 00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:29.439 a bunch of people that you and I know who 141 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:31.879 they are, and we knew that they had a little 142 00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:35.960 problem with let's just say the sauce, and you never 143 00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:40.080 never would have mentioned it, never we have mentioned it. 144 00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:43.480 It would be like the reporters who covered Kennedy. Yep, 145 00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:48.080 they may have known about the little dallianted Marilyn Monroe, 146 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:51.080 but they never would have put that in print or 147 00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:53.200 requested he comment on it. 148 00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:57.120 Well, the people that covered Franklin Deellan or Roosevelt. I mean, 149 00:08:57.159 --> 00:09:00.480 the man couldn't walk. He was in a wheel chair, 150 00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:04.840 but no one photographed him in that wheelchair. They would 151 00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:08.919 always show him either standing or sitting behind a podium 152 00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:12.440 where you couldn't tell he was in a wheelchair. They 153 00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:13.919 cover him differently. Today. 154 00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:17.159 Let me take my break, and when we come back, 155 00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:19.720 I've got a couple of people on line, and we 156 00:09:19.799 --> 00:09:22.879 need to tell the listeners specifically what you and I 157 00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:25.919 are going to be doing up until midnight today in 158 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:29.519 temperature ten sixteen twenty nine degrees. 159 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:34.159 Now back to Dan ray Line from the window World 160 00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:37.399 Light six Studios on WBZ News Radio. 161 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:41.679 Dan is off for the rest of the year.

I don't care 174 00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.559 if it was like number one or number ninety nine. 175 00:10:27.080 --> 00:10:29.799 If there's a song that really speaks to you, and 176 00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:33.279 even if it weren't Christmas, you'd like it anyway, tell 177 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.960 us what that song is and tell us why it 178 00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:38.960 means something to you. Ditto for movies. Is there a 179 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:42.919 Christmas movie that really speaks to you? Like I said, 180 00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:45.759 doesn't have to be number one, It could be number 181 00:10:45.879 --> 00:10:48.919 ninety nine, but if it's number one in your heart, 182 00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:52.320 give us a call and tell us about it.
