WEBVTT

1
00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:04.400
<v Speaker 1>It's nice time with Dan Ray. I'm telling you easy

2
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Boston's new radio.

3
00:00:07.480 --> 00:00:10.199
<v Speaker 2>All Right, we have reached the twentieth hour. I told

4
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:12.480
<v Speaker 2>you if you stuck with us, we'd get you to Saturday.

5
00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:16.800
<v Speaker 2>We're within an hour of Saturday now, so please, we

6
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:19.519
<v Speaker 2>have one hour to go. And it's Mother's Day weekend

7
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:22.839
<v Speaker 2>this weekend. And look, I don't know if your mom

8
00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:26.960
<v Speaker 2>is alive or has passed on and is in heaven,

9
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:30.280
<v Speaker 2>but this is a weekend that all of us need

10
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:33.759
<v Speaker 2>to spend a moment or two thinking about our moms

11
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:37.880
<v Speaker 2>and what they have meant to us while they were alive,

12
00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:40.159
<v Speaker 2>or if they're still alive, and all of that. So

13
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:41.920
<v Speaker 2>this is a night that I'd like to get people

14
00:00:41.920 --> 00:00:45.840
<v Speaker 2>an opportunity just to remember and tell a story, hopefully

15
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:49.799
<v Speaker 2>be an upbeat story about your mom and in many

16
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:56.280
<v Speaker 2>cases that what she sacrificed for all of us these Again,

17
00:00:57.240 --> 00:01:00.320
<v Speaker 2>I just I give this as an opportunity. It's as

18
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:04.760
<v Speaker 2>simple as that. While you dial in and get set

19
00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:08.200
<v Speaker 2>and jump on board, just tell us a story, tell

20
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:14.359
<v Speaker 2>us a lesson you learned. I remember my mother used

21
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:20.799
<v Speaker 2>to always teach me the lesson which I really haven't

22
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:23.319
<v Speaker 2>learned as well. And I think every whenever I do this,

23
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:28.680
<v Speaker 2>she always says, she would say to me, remember Danny self,

24
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:33.959
<v Speaker 2>praise is no praise, And I've tried to take that

25
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:37.079
<v Speaker 2>to heart, you know. Or she would kid me and say,

26
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:40.519
<v Speaker 2>don't patch yourself on the back. As she was a

27
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:46.920
<v Speaker 2>mom that that really cared for her children in the

28
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:52.959
<v Speaker 2>nineteen fifties and sixties, and you know, older generation passed

29
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.000
<v Speaker 2>much too young an age as far as I was concerned,

30
00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:03.159
<v Speaker 2>miss her to this day. Again, your your parents are

31
00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:07.280
<v Speaker 2>the people who who bring you up. They do everything

32
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:11.000
<v Speaker 2>for you, including changing your diapers, which of course I'm

33
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:13.919
<v Speaker 2>seeing once again played out with a couple of grandchildren.

34
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:17.240
<v Speaker 2>At this point, it's been a while, but you just

35
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:21.639
<v Speaker 2>realize the the the total love that you receive from

36
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:26.120
<v Speaker 2>a parent. You know, it's it's a different it's it's

37
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:32.280
<v Speaker 2>just an a total and complete, unselfish love. They bring

38
00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:34.800
<v Speaker 2>you into the world and then they try to set

39
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:37.360
<v Speaker 2>you straight. And I know that there are some parents

40
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.360
<v Speaker 2>who are better than others, and some parents provide more

41
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:45.919
<v Speaker 2>financial support than others. But I still think that a

42
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:50.000
<v Speaker 2>parent's love is a different type of love that it is.

43
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.800
<v Speaker 2>It asks very little in return. When you think about it.

44
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:59.319
<v Speaker 2>Most of us who are in relationships with adults, you

45
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:03.080
<v Speaker 2>try to, you know, keep that relationship as balanced as possible,

46
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:05.240
<v Speaker 2>and you try to be as nice to the other

47
00:03:05.280 --> 00:03:07.439
<v Speaker 2>person and hope that they'll be as nice to you.

48
00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:13.199
<v Speaker 2>And about fifty percent of those relationships ended up in divorce,

49
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:19.960
<v Speaker 2>but in the vast majority of cases, with few exceptions,

50
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:25.960
<v Speaker 2>and there are some pretty tragic exceptions. But there's there's

51
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:30.439
<v Speaker 2>something special about parents, and there's certainly something special about moms.

52
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:34.919
<v Speaker 2>So six thirty six, one, seven, nine, three, one, ten

53
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:37.039
<v Speaker 2>thirty let me hit the week very quickly. It's been

54
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:42.159
<v Speaker 2>a memorable week. A memorable week. We started off each night,

55
00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:46.560
<v Speaker 2>We've we hit four four topics. We talked on Monday

56
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:50.159
<v Speaker 2>night about voke ed reform in Massachusetts badly needed. Talked

57
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.719
<v Speaker 2>about the air traffic control problem at Newark and elsewhere,

58
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:58.159
<v Speaker 2>talked about student loans and credit scores, and talked about

59
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:02.080
<v Speaker 2>kids and teens and ADHD. We continued with Jamie Gass

60
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:06.400
<v Speaker 2>at the Pioneer Institute about the whole question of reducing

61
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:09.080
<v Speaker 2>vogue ed education to a lottery, which I think is

62
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:12.800
<v Speaker 2>a mistake. I shared a personal story where I came

63
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:16.839
<v Speaker 2>very close to hitting a bicyclist last Sunday morning, no

64
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:18.800
<v Speaker 2>fault of my own. I actually was sworn enough and

65
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:22.399
<v Speaker 2>observant enough to notice this guy coming down Washington Street,

66
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:26.839
<v Speaker 2>down an incline, so going downhill and just flying. And

67
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:29.759
<v Speaker 2>I thank god that I saw him, because he would

68
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:32.040
<v Speaker 2>have ended up as a hoodo ornament on my car.

69
00:04:32.120 --> 00:04:34.920
<v Speaker 2>He blew right through a red light, never slowed down,

70
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:39.879
<v Speaker 2>never even attempted to stop. I hope he I hope

71
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:43.600
<v Speaker 2>that he that he made a mistake and he you know,

72
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.959
<v Speaker 2>didn't blackout, but just you know, was not thinking on

73
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:50.959
<v Speaker 2>a Sunday morning. Then on Tuesday, we talked about early

74
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:54.360
<v Speaker 2>onset for puberty for kids these days much earlier. Talked

75
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:57.079
<v Speaker 2>about Massachusetts not being the best date in the Union

76
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.759
<v Speaker 2>according to US News and World Report Number I think

77
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:05.720
<v Speaker 2>that was respectable, but New Hampshire was number two in

78
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:10.040
<v Speaker 2>Utah number one. Talked about the Seawan Did Combs trial,

79
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.680
<v Speaker 2>talked about five foods that damaged your brain. Then we

80
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.399
<v Speaker 2>talked with two county sheriffs here from Massachusetts in the

81
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:20.560
<v Speaker 2>nine o'clock hour, Pat McDermott of Norfolk County, Tom Bowler,

82
00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Sheriff Bowler, and Sheriff McDermott, Sheriff Bowler of Berkshire County,

83
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:32.839
<v Speaker 2>talked about for two hours. On Tuesday night, President Trump

84
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:37.560
<v Speaker 2>invited and received the new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney

85
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:39.199
<v Speaker 2>at the White House, and they both were very polite

86
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.120
<v Speaker 2>and diplomatic. Trump was still trolling a little bit, but

87
00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:47.680
<v Speaker 2>he refrained from some of his usual jabs that he

88
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:52.800
<v Speaker 2>took at Justin Trudeau and treated Mark Conney much more respectfully. Thankfully.

89
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:57.120
<v Speaker 2>Wednesday night, learned how to stop the bleed. We talked

90
00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:02.319
<v Speaker 2>about Operation Warm Coats and Shoes. Talked about underage patrons

91
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:05.279
<v Speaker 2>at a low pub with a really good reporter from

92
00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:08.680
<v Speaker 2>The low Son, Melody Gilbert. Talked with Sandra Fava, a

93
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.720
<v Speaker 2>lawyer in New Jersey who's a cancer survivor and she's

94
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:14.600
<v Speaker 2>not only survived cancer, but she's prospering as a lawyer.

95
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:19.120
<v Speaker 2>Talked with Alison Kuznitz of the State House News Service

96
00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:23.879
<v Speaker 2>about the fact that maybe maybe we'll have some action

97
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:28.480
<v Speaker 2>on banning cell phones for kids while in school. Of course,

98
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:35.279
<v Speaker 2>on Wednesday, that was the day that we were talking

99
00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:43.079
<v Speaker 2>about the conclave with Professor Thomas Groom. The conclave was

100
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:45.680
<v Speaker 2>underway and we talked with him for an hour. Then

101
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:49.399
<v Speaker 2>we talked about Donald Trump trolling a lot of people

102
00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:52.720
<v Speaker 2>on his suggestion of reopening Alcatraz. Don't think that's ever

103
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:58.720
<v Speaker 2>going to happen. Thursday night, talked about osteoporosis and an

104
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.759
<v Speaker 2>arthritis awareness. Talk with Sheriff Donna Buckley, She's the only

105
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:06.160
<v Speaker 2>female sheriff here in Massachusetts. Talk with Bob Ryan about

106
00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:09.600
<v Speaker 2>the Celtics Knicks series, which is not going in the

107
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:12.199
<v Speaker 2>right direction. Talked with a really interesting guy last night,

108
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:16.519
<v Speaker 2>Adam Vibe Gunton. He is a leader of a recovery

109
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:18.680
<v Speaker 2>movement and we're going to talk with him one of

110
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:21.000
<v Speaker 2>the hours next week. I forget which night it was.

111
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:23.879
<v Speaker 2>I wish I had written that down when Marita told

112
00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.800
<v Speaker 2>me today, but I will. We'll talk about talk with

113
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.120
<v Speaker 2>him next week. I think it may be Monday night

114
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:32.600
<v Speaker 2>as a matter of fact, so just bear that in mind.

115
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:36.319
<v Speaker 2>And of course, last night we spent three hours talking

116
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:40.920
<v Speaker 2>about the election of Pope Leo the Fourth. We brought

117
00:07:41.279 --> 00:07:44.680
<v Speaker 2>Professor Tom Groom from Boston College back and also Professor

118
00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:48.160
<v Speaker 2>Mary and Glendon. She's a Harvard Law School professor who

119
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:52.839
<v Speaker 2>had been a US ambassadors the Vatican under George Bush.

120
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:55.720
<v Speaker 2>Bush forty three, and then tonight we talked about a

121
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:59.000
<v Speaker 2>wheelchair repair bill, which I think needs to get passed

122
00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:02.920
<v Speaker 2>pretty quickly with Adams, a good reporter from the State

123
00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:08.000
<v Speaker 2>House News Service. Talked with Alexandra Sherry Dorriles about the

124
00:08:08.040 --> 00:08:14.600
<v Speaker 2>annual Mother's Day Walk for Peace on this Sunday, Mother's Day.

125
00:08:15.160 --> 00:08:19.319
<v Speaker 2>Just a really important event and one that I hope

126
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:24.000
<v Speaker 2>some of you will think of participating in that is

127
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:27.759
<v Speaker 2>now the I think it's the twenty ninth year that

128
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:31.480
<v Speaker 2>moms are walking for Peace in Dorchester in memory of

129
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Lewis Brown. Talked with Geene Duffy about soccer games, soccer

130
00:08:36.759 --> 00:08:40.440
<v Speaker 2>Granny's at an event in South Africa. Talked with Bob

131
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:43.879
<v Speaker 2>Shick of Walpole. He knew Pope Leo when he was

132
00:08:43.960 --> 00:08:47.799
<v Speaker 2>Robert Francis Privo in a seminary back in the early

133
00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:51.960
<v Speaker 2>nineteen seventies, and we in the nine o'clock hour talked

134
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:54.279
<v Speaker 2>about the release of the toughest graduate student, which I

135
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:59.399
<v Speaker 2>think is overdue and the administration I think overreacted and

136
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:03.120
<v Speaker 2>I think the optics on that were horrible and there

137
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:06.159
<v Speaker 2>was no effort to provide any information as to why

138
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:09.279
<v Speaker 2>she would have been taken into custody. And the last

139
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:11.600
<v Speaker 2>hour we talked with Bruce Mittman about the state of

140
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:15.960
<v Speaker 2>radio in America. So that's it. We got lines of

141

00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:21.360
<v Speaker 5>could come through today good. So it's Monday at a time.

198
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:25.559
<v Speaker 6>How many in your family as a child, three boys

199
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:26.600
<v Speaker 6>and two girls, five.

200
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Of us, Well, right up there, that's still a bit.

201
00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:33.679
<v Speaker 2>That's a big family by today's standards, might not have

202
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.120
<v Speaker 2>been by fifty years ago. But that's that's a lot

203
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:38.360
<v Speaker 2>of work for mom.

204
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:44.679
<v Speaker 5>Right right, exactly exactly. She she means the world to me, Dan.

205
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:47.679
<v Speaker 5>She she's always been there for all of us. She

206
00:12:48.000 --> 00:12:52.080
<v Speaker 5>she never she stopped working when she had all of us.

207
00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:55.960
<v Speaker 5>She was always there for everything, qaras. She always raised

208
00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:59.919
<v Speaker 5>us to stay together. And she always said be kind

209
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:04.240
<v Speaker 5>the people. Open doors to people. You never know how

210
00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:08.480
<v Speaker 5>small a world that convey. You don't know who who,

211
00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:12.080
<v Speaker 5>So you never talk bad about people because you never know.

212
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:16.679
<v Speaker 5>But you always instilled that enough and always.

213
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:22.399
<v Speaker 2>Yes, they they embodied a lot of wisdom, didn't they.

214
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:29.320
<v Speaker 2>And they nobody, nobody cares cares more. I think, uh

215
00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:34.120
<v Speaker 2>for you, uh that those first few years, I mean

216
00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:37.960
<v Speaker 2>they literally mold you. You know, by time you get

217
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:41.639
<v Speaker 2>out and you're an adult, you've developed all of your habits,

218
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:44.679
<v Speaker 2>your good habits and your bad habits. But they try

219
00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:48.600
<v Speaker 2>to make every one of their children just you know,

220
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:52.480
<v Speaker 2>perfect for the world. And uh, unfortunately we're not perfect

221
00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:54.200
<v Speaker 2>for the world. But it's not because of them lack

222
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:55.279
<v Speaker 2>of try. And that's for sure.

223
00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:58.360
<v Speaker 5>Christine right, she's such a good mom to me. I

224
00:13:58.799 --> 00:13:59.679
<v Speaker 5>love her so much.

225
00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:02.960
<v Speaker 2>She's a well do me a favorite when you see her?

226
00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Would you do me a favorite? I know the German Home.

227
00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:10.039
<v Speaker 2>I visited the German Home many times. Well, please give

00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:11.720

00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:26.720
<v Speaker 2>I messed up. I'm glad you mentioned that I was

<v Speaker 4>Steph's family, Yeah, yeah, she passed August seventh of twenty ten,

260
00:15:55.440 --> 00:15:58.440
<v Speaker 4>but she did lose her son when she was thirty eight.

261
00:15:58.480 --> 00:15:59.960
<v Speaker 4>He drowned back in seventy two.

262
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:01.080
<v Speaker 9>How old?

263
00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:01.960
<v Speaker 4>Only fourteen?

264
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:05.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh God, what a horrific.

265
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:06.879
<v Speaker 4>So she didn't Yeah, so she didn't want to get

266
00:16:06.879 --> 00:16:08.879
<v Speaker 4>out of bed for three days, but she said, I

267
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:11.200
<v Speaker 4>got to get out of bed. You know, I got

268
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:13.759
<v Speaker 4>four more kids to raise. So we're a family of five.

269
00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:18.159
<v Speaker 2>So well between Mark, Mark with five siblings, Christine and

270
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:21.200
<v Speaker 2>you with four siblings, that's a lot. So your brother

271
00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:23.159
<v Speaker 2>drowned at the age of fourteen.

272
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:25.759
<v Speaker 4>Was see how May May twenty seventh or seventy two,

273
00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:27.759
<v Speaker 4>and he almost brought my other brother down with a

274
00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:31.559
<v Speaker 4>in his Panic and Jump was a strong swimmer, but

275
00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:33.879
<v Speaker 4>they said he either had solder and cramped up.

276
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:36.000
<v Speaker 8>But in that little.

277
00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:39.120
<v Speaker 4>Web river in Dixfield, Maine, it's a current right off.

278
00:16:39.159 --> 00:16:42.519
<v Speaker 4>They call it Brigady Rock. And years before a girl

279
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:45.320
<v Speaker 4>died in the same area. So he might have got

280
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:46.480
<v Speaker 4>pulled down by a current.

281
00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:47.559
<v Speaker 8>We don't know for.

282
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Sure, but I assume that that water was pretty cold

283
00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:54.279
<v Speaker 2>in May up in Maine.

284
00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:58.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah cool, Yeah, it could have been a lot of factors.

285
00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:01.639
<v Speaker 4>We don't know, like I said, And they found them

286
00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:05.759
<v Speaker 4>two days later, and you know, it was it was

287
00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:07.920
<v Speaker 4>a sad day for the town and for our family.

288
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:14.240
<v Speaker 4>But anyways, she was a doting mother. She even put

289
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:18.640
<v Speaker 4>high school clothes over the kitchen chairs every morning we're

290
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:19.480
<v Speaker 4>going to school.

291
00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:23.039
<v Speaker 8>Ye Oh yeah, I can identify with that.

292
00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:23.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

293
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:26.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's a common thing back then because and.

294
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:29.039
<v Speaker 2>In those days the clothes were ironed, you know.

295
00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:33.400
<v Speaker 4>I yeah, she was a great but I was as

296
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:37.279
<v Speaker 4>close to her as my other siblings were. But I

297
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:40.200
<v Speaker 4>was the youngest of five, so I was the last

298
00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:45.480
<v Speaker 4>one to leave the house at twenty four. So she

299
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:48.519
<v Speaker 4>she did her best. You know, both girls did. They

300
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:50.240
<v Speaker 4>all do their best as we do too.

00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:13.400
<v Speaker 8>Hey, my mom. Her name was Slant Slant Cardoza. She

429
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:16.880
<v Speaker 8>has passed about six years now, and she had a

430
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:20.759
<v Speaker 8>great saying. We had five kids. There were three boys,

431
00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:25.200
<v Speaker 8>two girls, and my big brother. He graduated from Cathedral

432
00:25:25.240 --> 00:25:28.079
<v Speaker 8>back in seventy four, So we're in minority family. So

433
00:25:28.119 --> 00:25:30.240
<v Speaker 8>you can imagine the adversity that we went through back

434
00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:30.920
<v Speaker 8>in those days.

435
00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Those those are rough days. That was the height of

436
00:25:34.279 --> 00:25:37.640
<v Speaker 2>bus sing. But Cathedral was a great high school. It's

437
00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:40.480
<v Speaker 2>passed passed on, but Boy was a great high school at.

438
00:25:40.400 --> 00:25:44.319
<v Speaker 8>The time, right run by the outstats back in those days,

439
00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:46.839
<v Speaker 8>and also on the trains were up and things of

440
00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:49.519
<v Speaker 8>that nature. Have memories of all of that type of stuff.

441
00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:52.519
<v Speaker 8>So I'm also a child of the bussing. When I

442
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:55.119
<v Speaker 8>all first started and she, you know, she sent us

443
00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:57.240
<v Speaker 8>to school. We had to have blankets, things of that nature.

444
00:25:57.519 --> 00:25:59.519
<v Speaker 8>Always made sure all of us, all five of us

445
00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:01.839
<v Speaker 8>had a me and clothes on our back and things

446
00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:03.480
<v Speaker 8>of that nature. So a lot of us, you know,

447
00:26:03.599 --> 00:26:06.680
<v Speaker 8>life and we moved a lot. So we have a

448
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:10.839
<v Speaker 8>great kind of knowledge of the city because of how

449
00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:12.920
<v Speaker 8>many different places I've lived on the streets that no

450
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:16.119
<v Speaker 8>longer exist because they've been developed, and things of that nature.

451
00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:20.000
<v Speaker 8>But anyway, she had a great saying. Her name was

452
00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:25.359
<v Speaker 8>also her name was Florence, Florence, and so her saying, well,

453
00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:27.960
<v Speaker 8>she was five to three and all of the sons

454
00:26:28.119 --> 00:26:31.240
<v Speaker 8>were always taller than her. She always said, hey, I'm

455
00:26:31.279 --> 00:26:33.599
<v Speaker 8>a little piece of leather, but I'm well put together.

456
00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:37.720
<v Speaker 8>So she had a very very staunched way of looking

457
00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:41.519
<v Speaker 8>at you, and you knew, well, if mama is crossed.

458
00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:47.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah, if mama isn't happy, no one's going

459
00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:51.200
<v Speaker 2>to be happy, is what you're telling me exactly.

460
00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:53.079
<v Speaker 8>In those sayings. You know, she always tell you I'm

461
00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:55.519
<v Speaker 8>a little piece of leather, but I'm well put together.

462
00:26:55.880 --> 00:26:59.319
<v Speaker 8>And that was the warning for you that the you know,

463
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:02.559
<v Speaker 8>the the Fairy's coming out and it's gonna be a

464
00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:05.319
<v Speaker 8>lot of fire going on. So yeah, yeah, she had

465
00:27:05.359 --> 00:27:06.160
<v Speaker 8>a lot of fighting her.

466
00:27:06.519 --> 00:27:09.759
<v Speaker 2>That's great, good, that's great. Hey, Jake, that's a that's

467
00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:12.079
<v Speaker 2>a great story. You know, it's funny. But you you

468
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:16.200
<v Speaker 2>mentioned her size. Yeah, we get five threes pretty normal

469
00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:19.359
<v Speaker 2>for for a mom. Uh but I'm a little piece

470
00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:21.839
<v Speaker 2>of leather, but I'm well put together. That I'm gonna

471
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:22.720
<v Speaker 2>remember that one.

472
00:27:23.839 --> 00:27:26.480
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I mean, you know, you'd have

473
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:28.640
<v Speaker 8>to look down at her because she's five three and

474
00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:31.359
<v Speaker 8>all of a sudden, when I was younger, I'm you know,

475
00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:34.960
<v Speaker 8>five babe, some sick three. Now all of my brothers

00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:37.839
<v Speaker 8>at least six feet, so you know, even the girls.

477
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:40.200
<v Speaker 8>Everybody was just taller than her because she was. She

478
00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:44.720
<v Speaker 8>was very well and down and just short and definitely

479
00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:48.160
<v Speaker 8>put you in your place with without fear. Everyone knew

480
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:48.920
<v Speaker 8>who would boss.

481
00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, she ran the house. She ran the house.

482
00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:54.200
<v Speaker 2>It's as simple as that. Hey, Jake, I love the call.

00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:07.680
<v Speaker 8>Okay, I appreciate the opportunity. Thank you very much, Daniel,

487
00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:08.400
<v Speaker 8>callings were great.

488
00:28:08.680 --> 00:28:11.039
<v Speaker 2>All right, come on back soon. Thanks very much. Let's

489
00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:13.519
<v Speaker 2>keep rolling here on night Side. As we head towards

490
00:28:13.599 --> 00:28:18.039
<v Speaker 2>some Saturday morning, I got John in Drake Att, Massachusetts.

491
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:20.720
<v Speaker 2>John and Draket you were next on Nightside. Welcome. Tell

492
00:28:20.759 --> 00:28:22.880
<v Speaker 2>us about your mom, Hey, Dan.

493
00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:26.039
<v Speaker 12>My mom was Marie Francis Kalella.

494
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:27.839
<v Speaker 11>She was Italian.

495
00:28:28.440 --> 00:28:32.240
<v Speaker 12>Of course, she married an Irish gentleman, my father, Bob Joyce.

496
00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:37.200
<v Speaker 12>My mother passed away in thirteen, in twenty thirteen, and she.

497
00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:38.680
<v Speaker 8>Was just unbelievable.

498
00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:42.319
<v Speaker 12>She had the comedic value that came right to me

499
00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:46.759
<v Speaker 12>as a comedian. My mother was just the funniest person

500
00:28:46.839 --> 00:28:49.039
<v Speaker 12>on the earth. And she just made it. We had

501
00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:52.480
<v Speaker 12>six kids in my family and she had nine brothers

502
00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:56.960
<v Speaker 12>and sisters. And if anybody ever wants to hear exactly

503
00:28:57.000 --> 00:28:59.440
<v Speaker 12>how funny she is, go to YouTube and put in

504
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:05.799
<v Speaker 12>my Rejoyce jam Scam. I play that every single time

505
00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:08.599
<v Speaker 12>I do a show at the end of my show,

506
00:29:08.759 --> 00:29:12.599
<v Speaker 12>to remember just how funny my mother was there, just

507
00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:17.160
<v Speaker 12>absolutely iconic. And she roasted me on my fortieth birthday.

508
00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:21.440
<v Speaker 12>And I miss her so much, and she was just

509
00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:24.920
<v Speaker 12>something else. And that says it all. Marie Joye jam Scam.

510
00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:27.000
<v Speaker 12>I'll tell you folks at home that.

511
00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:28.839
<v Speaker 9>Are listening to your show, and she listened to.

512
00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:32.319
<v Speaker 12>You every night. Dan every night should call me Dan,

513
00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:34.960
<v Speaker 12>raise on. Don't forget Dan, Ray's forget Dan.

514
00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:37.000
<v Speaker 2>I love her even more now.

515
00:29:38.359 --> 00:29:39.599
<v Speaker 9>She loved the show.

516
00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:42.519
<v Speaker 12>She listened and would listen together, and she should hear

517
00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:44.319
<v Speaker 12>me call in bobbies on again.

518
00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:47.480
<v Speaker 9>It was just something else, Dan.

519
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:50.440
<v Speaker 8>I'll tell you she really enjoyed your show.

520
00:29:50.279 --> 00:29:53.839
<v Speaker 12>And she loved the Red Sox and I miss her

521
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:55.880
<v Speaker 12>so much. She was just something else.

522
00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:57.519
<v Speaker 9>It really was.

523
00:29:59.079 --> 00:30:02.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, Dad's in a different way, but Mom's really

524
00:30:02.960 --> 00:30:07.759
<v Speaker 2>special because that is the love that they provide. It's

525
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:13.519
<v Speaker 2>unconditional and they don't necessarily always you know, they'll they'll

526
00:30:13.559 --> 00:30:15.920
<v Speaker 2>give you a pat on the back or a little

527
00:30:16.039 --> 00:30:19.319
<v Speaker 2>little bit of a tap on the butt as well.

528
00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:21.960
<v Speaker 2>But they love unconditioned.

529
00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:24.480
<v Speaker 12>In the sure time. She had the old Italian spool

530
00:30:24.599 --> 00:30:25.599
<v Speaker 12>right from the sauce.

531
00:30:28.119 --> 00:30:29.279
<v Speaker 4>But she was the best.

532
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:32.079
<v Speaker 7>She was the best, and she was a great cook.

533
00:30:31.880 --> 00:30:36.319
<v Speaker 12>Of course, being Italian, of course, with her brothers and sisters,

534
00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:41.200
<v Speaker 12>and every Sunday was a long meal at that breezeway table.

535
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:43.759
<v Speaker 2>And wouldn't you love to be able to just go

536
00:30:43.880 --> 00:30:47.000
<v Speaker 2>back there one Sunday and recreate it? Huh?

537
00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:50.519
<v Speaker 12>Yes, just all brothers and sisters on one side, and

538
00:30:50.599 --> 00:30:53.839
<v Speaker 12>all the nephews and nieces. I have fifty one first cousins.

539
00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:56.480
