00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:03.320
<v Speaker 2>we would we fill the restaurant twice, but there will

16
00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:05.840

<v Speaker 2>sure you know what's seating you will be at. And

18
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:14.319
<v Speaker 2>I'll talk about it tonight more at Nightside Postgame at midnight,

19
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.159
<v Speaker 2>where we appear on Facebook for a postgame every night,

20
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:21.159
<v Speaker 2>And of course you also can follow us on Twitter

21
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:26.239
<v Speaker 2>at WBZ Nightside, WBZ Underscored Nightside. I think that's our handle.

22
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:30.840
<v Speaker 2>On Instagram, we have a bunch of Facebook pages you

23
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:33.680
<v Speaker 2>can find us on. We love to get you involved

24
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:36.159
<v Speaker 2>with the program. It's as simple as that. But I

25
00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:38.319
<v Speaker 2>just want to thank everyone who's made reservations and we

26
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:41.519
<v Speaker 2>will have a ball. We are talking this hour about

27
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.719
<v Speaker 2>the state of New Hampshire, which is now seriously considering

28
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:49.280
<v Speaker 2>getting rid of their annual automobile automobile inspections, not for

29
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:53.560
<v Speaker 2>commercial vehicles but for privately owned cars and trucks. And

30
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:56.519
<v Speaker 2>we're going to go to Alaska to Joan in Alaska.

31
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:01.959
<v Speaker 3>Hi, Joan, how are you Tidan Wurnderful? We don't have

32
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:03.359
<v Speaker 3>any sunshines up here?

33
00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:06.439
<v Speaker 2>But Joe, do you have any sunshine up there? Yet?

34
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:07.680
<v Speaker 2>We do?

35
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:11.520
<v Speaker 3>The lue will set tonight at about ninety five.

36
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:18.879
<v Speaker 2>Wow. I know so well second you I thought you

37
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:20.879
<v Speaker 2>would be just I didn't really I know that you're

38
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.400
<v Speaker 2>going to get to like the twenty four hour sunshine.

39
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:25.840
<v Speaker 2>I guess it's in June. I guess, so what time

40
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:27.240
<v Speaker 2>does it rise tomorrow morning?

41
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:31.759
<v Speaker 3>Oh, it's up early. Probably it gets it gets light by.

42
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:33.879
<v Speaker 4>About six o'clock, so we're.

43
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:40.400
<v Speaker 3>On the manic. Let's get busy. Everybody is happy, but

44
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:42.800
<v Speaker 3>I haven't say I'm sorry.

45
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:43.319
<v Speaker 4>Go ahead.

46
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.199
<v Speaker 2>Do you have vehicle inspections? You know, private cars?

47
00:02:46.439 --> 00:02:49.319
<v Speaker 3>No, we don't. No, we don't.

48
00:02:48.759 --> 00:02:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Think so it's a great.

49
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:53.159
<v Speaker 3>I remember them well, and I remember the I remember

50
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:56.800
<v Speaker 3>them well in Cambridge and people would go to little

51
00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:59.879
<v Speaker 3>shops that didn't really check and slam the sticker on

52
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:04.240
<v Speaker 3>my windshield, and so I never really trusted them anyway.

53
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:08.120
<v Speaker 3>But the reason I'm calling, I'm sorry the Red Sox lost.

54
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:13.360
<v Speaker 3>But did you get the body? I know? Did you

55
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:15.159
<v Speaker 3>see the national anthem?

56
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:18.919
<v Speaker 2>I didn't? Is there something? Well?

57
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:26.199
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I live in Eagle River, Alaska, and the national

58
00:03:26.199 --> 00:03:32.080
<v Speaker 3>anthem today was sung by the Jugiac High School choir

59
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:34.120
<v Speaker 3>from Eagle River.

60
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.159
<v Speaker 2>Isn't that great? So they probably at spring break and

61
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:39.120
<v Speaker 2>they came to Boston.

62
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:42.639
<v Speaker 3>No they're not. I don't. In fact, my sister Rosemary

63
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:46.400
<v Speaker 3>and West Roxbury was asking me how they even afforded

64
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:49.159
<v Speaker 3>to make the trip, and I don't know. I just

65
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:51.639
<v Speaker 3>found out that they were doing it when I woke

66
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:54.919
<v Speaker 3>up this morning and saw a post on Facebook. And

67
00:03:55.479 --> 00:04:00.879
<v Speaker 3>they did a phenomenal job. They were amazed group. How

68
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.560
<v Speaker 3>big a group is well, probably, i'd say, looking at

69
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:06.960
<v Speaker 3>the group off the top of my head, probably twenty students.

70
00:04:08.240 --> 00:04:09.919
<v Speaker 2>So how did you see it? Do you get the

71
00:04:09.919 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 2>Red Sox games up there?

72
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:17.439
<v Speaker 3>Well, of course we can if we choose to, but no,

73
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:21.800
<v Speaker 3>it was the school district. The school district here in

74
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:26.720
<v Speaker 3>Anchorage posted that they were going to be performing at

75
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:31.279
<v Speaker 3>Fenway and I was just blown away. I mean, I'm

76
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:34.800
<v Speaker 3>in a small town outside of Anchorage. It's probably thirty

77
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:39.079
<v Speaker 3>thirty five thousand people that live here, and it was

78
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:40.879
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I cried when I saw it.

79
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:44.680
<v Speaker 2>It was just so did they have it on local TV?

80
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:46.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm just wondering how you saw it.

81
00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:51.959
<v Speaker 3>I saw it because they posted back on Facebook after

82
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:55.279
<v Speaker 3>they did it. Oh, so I guess the other reason

83
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm The other reason I'm calling is I would like

84
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:00.959
<v Speaker 3>to send you the links so you can see it.

85
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.959
<v Speaker 3>But also I would like to be able to give

86
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:09.480
<v Speaker 3>you an idea for one of your first hour segments.

87
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:13.639
<v Speaker 2>Sure, I love it absolutely. First of all, I'm gonna

88
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:17.000
<v Speaker 2>have I'm going to have Rob give you my direct

89
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:18.720
<v Speaker 2>email address.

90
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:20.759
<v Speaker 3>Which you probably say that would be wonderful.

91
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Case I'll also have to give you my direct number.

92
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:26.920
<v Speaker 2>What's the segment that you'd like to see covered.

93
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:32.519
<v Speaker 3>Well, it's about an app that helps people. Glenn may

94
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:36.879
<v Speaker 3>know about it. It's about a service that we can

95
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:40.560
<v Speaker 3>all help with to help people who are blind or

96
00:05:40.639 --> 00:05:46.959
<v Speaker 3>visually impaired or dyslexic. And it's phenomenal, really, it's okay, yes,

97
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:48.600
<v Speaker 3>So that's.

98
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:52.199
<v Speaker 2>Just if you give Rob that app, I will make

99
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.480
<v Speaker 2>sure that Maria gets it and we will get uh.

100
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:57.959
<v Speaker 2>And if you leave your number, I think I have

101
00:05:58.079 --> 00:06:01.920
<v Speaker 2>your number one. If you will leave your number with Rob,

102
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:05.279
<v Speaker 2>I will make sure you know what day we do

103
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:07.800
<v Speaker 2>something on the app. Well, we'll figure it out. Is

104
00:06:07.839 --> 00:06:11.120
<v Speaker 2>there is it an organization out of Alaska?

105
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:16.079
<v Speaker 3>No, no, this is a worldwide organization. It's called Be

106
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:21.199
<v Speaker 3>My Eyes. Okay, and I was doing it now for

107
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:24.879
<v Speaker 3>a year and I'd love to tell you about it.

108
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:27.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, i'll tell you what. Would you be willing to

109
00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:29.000
<v Speaker 2>be a guest when we do it?

110
00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:30.839
<v Speaker 3>Oh? Absolutely?

111
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, No, thank you, I didn't. We're always whenever people

112
00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:41.240
<v Speaker 2>recommend to us uh some group or organization like that.

113
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:43.639
<v Speaker 2>Oftentimes what we do is we have a tough time

114
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:46.040
<v Speaker 2>getting a spokesperson from the group too.

115
00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:47.720
<v Speaker 3>No, I could tell you all about it.

116
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh, perfect, Joan, That's that's even better. So leave with

117
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:56.319
<v Speaker 2>Rob your name and your number. Okay I think I haven't,

118
00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:58.639
<v Speaker 2>but I don't. He will give you my direct number.

119
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:02.839
<v Speaker 2>We'll call you and we will set it up and

120
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:05.120
<v Speaker 2>as long as you know. Look, you know the show

121
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:08.360
<v Speaker 2>better than as well as anyone. And that's wonderful. So

122
00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:11.439
<v Speaker 2>how do you participate in what you said that you participate?

123
00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:16.560
<v Speaker 3>You're a volunteer, yes, and there are millions of volunteers

124
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:20.120
<v Speaker 3>around the world. It's phenomenal. It's been I've been doing

125
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:25.000
<v Speaker 3>it for a year and I've had just blessings with

126
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:30.000
<v Speaker 3>being able to help people and they don't. It's it's

127
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:31.519
<v Speaker 3>just very uplifting.

128
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:33.839
<v Speaker 4>And I hope you knows about it.

129
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:37.240
<v Speaker 2>They connect you with someone who either is blind or

130
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:38.959
<v Speaker 2>visually appear I'm assuming.

131
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:40.120
<v Speaker 4>Yes.

132
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:43.519
<v Speaker 3>Actually the people call I get I get a special

133
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:48.279
<v Speaker 3>sound on my phone. Yeah, and I it's random. You

134
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:51.319
<v Speaker 3>know so many there are so many volunteers, and I

135
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.680
<v Speaker 3>answer it and they don't have my number. I don't

136
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.360
<v Speaker 3>have their number, and I just say, how can I

137
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:01.000
<v Speaker 3>help you? And the thing that I've been able to

138
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:06.879
<v Speaker 3>experience helping people and meeting people who are very grateful,

139
00:08:07.360 --> 00:08:12.040
<v Speaker 3>and it's it's a wonderful thing to be able to participate,

140
00:08:12.319 --> 00:08:14.600
<v Speaker 3>and you don't have to take the call when it comes.

141
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Sure. Yeah, and Joe, here's what we'll do. You leave

142
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:21.560
<v Speaker 2>your information with Rob, leave me the name of the app.

143
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.439
<v Speaker 2>Maria will take care of that, and then we will

144
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.000
<v Speaker 2>set it up, maybe as early as tomorrow night or

145
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:29.480
<v Speaker 2>certainly no later the next week. And what I might

146
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:31.879
<v Speaker 2>do is we'll do it with you in an eight

147
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:36.639
<v Speaker 2>o'clock hour, and sometimes with special guests. We then turn

148
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:40.399
<v Speaker 2>it into an hour later on during the week where

149
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:43.320
<v Speaker 2>you then can take some phone calls from people around

150
00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:47.919
<v Speaker 2>the world, maybe who like you, are volunteers or oh

151
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:53.679

179
00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:13.679
<v Speaker 2>Hampshire's indication that they are willing to eliminate automobile inspections

<v Speaker 2>and truck inspections for people who own private cars or

195
00:11:04.759 --> 00:11:06.960
<v Speaker 5>I think it's wrong, Dan. I think they should they

196
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:10.720
<v Speaker 5>should keep it because you know, there's I don't like

197
00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:13.759
<v Speaker 5>to say this, but there's some people. They they don't

198
00:11:13.799 --> 00:11:15.639
<v Speaker 5>know much about a car, and so all they do

199
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:17.759
<v Speaker 5>is just know how to drive it, and and they

200
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:20.159
<v Speaker 5>don't know what's really wrong with it. You don't know,

201
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:22.120
<v Speaker 5>they don't know if there's a tire rock gone, or

202
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:25.039
<v Speaker 5>could be a ball joint on, and then they end

203
00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:27.519
<v Speaker 5>up risking their life for what for something that was

204
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:34.320
<v Speaker 5>not even being checked. Yeah, here's believe h I believe

205
00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:36.799
<v Speaker 5>it or not that we had a brand new truck

206
00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:39.360
<v Speaker 5>and it was not even not even a year old.

207
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:41.840
<v Speaker 5>We took up inspection and they jacked it up and

208
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:44.519
<v Speaker 5>they checked the front, the front wheels and everything, and

209
00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:48.559
<v Speaker 5>the ball joints are going on. It was not even

210
00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:51.120
<v Speaker 5>was was not even a year old.

211
00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:53.159
<v Speaker 2>I hope was covered by warranty.

212
00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:59.799
<v Speaker 6>Not really, not really just what you need.

213
00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:04.279
<v Speaker 2>You need. So so you say, keep them, keep the inspection.

214
00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:09.120
<v Speaker 5>Right, Yeah, yeah, because you know, even even the trucks.

215
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:12.120
<v Speaker 5>You just see how strict they get. On trucks. They

216
00:12:12.200 --> 00:12:15.279
<v Speaker 5>checked the staring box, you tie your d ends, your

217
00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:17.080
<v Speaker 5>ball joints out, They go through the whole frame of

218
00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:19.840
<v Speaker 5>the truck. Even on the lodger trucks they make you

219
00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:24.279
<v Speaker 5>put a uh steel arm. Uh uh. You know that

220
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:27.279
<v Speaker 5>the covers you put on your valves them on the truck.

221
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:29.360
<v Speaker 5>They make us. They make us chose the metal ones,

222
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:30.399
<v Speaker 5>not the plastic ones.

223
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:31.519
<v Speaker 2>Mmmm.

224
00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:35.440
<v Speaker 5>Well, I guess because what happens the age after a while,

225
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.759
<v Speaker 5>and I guess they cracked and they have to falling apart.

226
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:42.399
<v Speaker 5>But I think they should keep it because if there's

227
00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:45.039
<v Speaker 5>people that have cars and trucks and they're just driving,

228
00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:47.039
<v Speaker 5>how do you know if there's a ball joint going

229
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:48.759
<v Speaker 5>like they happen that poor lady look at it.

230
00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Frightening story. That was a frightening story, wasn't it. Yeah,

231
00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:57.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah to any of us.

232
00:12:57.360 --> 00:12:57.639
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

233
00:12:57.679 --> 00:12:59.720
<v Speaker 5>And I've been I've been to inspections and I have

234
00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:03.519
<v Speaker 5>watch them when they expect the vehicles and I can't

235
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:05.600
<v Speaker 5>believe somebodys when they jack them up and they checked

236
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:07.879
<v Speaker 5>the wheels, and I could not believe what I've seen.

237
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:11.200
<v Speaker 5>Sometimes and people don't even know that they could be

238
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:14.039
<v Speaker 5>going down the street and something's here is absence. They're

239
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:17.039
<v Speaker 5>risking their lives, they're risking somebody else's like going down

240
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:18.600
<v Speaker 5>the sheet. You never know what happens.

241
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:21.600
<v Speaker 2>All right, Angelo, I got you down as a strong

242
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:26.080
<v Speaker 2>vote in favor of keeping the annual inspections. You said

243
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:29.080
<v Speaker 2>it well and you you give some people some something

244
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:31.759
<v Speaker 2>to think about tonight. Thanks Angelo, appreciate it so much.

245
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:34.240
<v Speaker 5>Welcome dance, Thank you, Thank you.

246
00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:39.320
<v Speaker 2>Gail is in New Hampshire. Gail, this affects you. You

247
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:42.480
<v Speaker 2>live in New Hampshire. Thank you for holding on. Appreciate

248
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:43.120
<v Speaker 2>your patience.

249
00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:48.320
<v Speaker 7>How are you Dan, good to hear from you.

250
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:48.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I.

251
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:53.360
<v Speaker 7>Think that the whole issue, first of all. I want

252
00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:55.720
<v Speaker 7>to give a shout out to Deputy Speaker Smith because

253
00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:59.559
<v Speaker 7>legislators here in New Hampshire are just kicking but they

254
00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:03.559
<v Speaker 7>are working so hard. They're public servants. They basically do

255
00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:10.240
<v Speaker 7>it volunteer and they work really really hard, sought and

256
00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:14.879
<v Speaker 7>by the way, as you know I mentioned very clearly, they're.

257
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:17.559
<v Speaker 2>Paid one hundred dollars a year for their service, so

258
00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:20.159
<v Speaker 2>they're not doing it for the money, right.

259
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:23.320
<v Speaker 7>Can you imagine that happening in Massachusetts?

260
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:27.919
<v Speaker 4>It could never acten absolutely anyway.

261
00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Did that, or the legislature would be run by a

262
00:14:31.480 --> 00:14:34.480
<v Speaker 2>bunch of Bolsheviks. I mean literally that.

263
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:37.759
<v Speaker 7>You're right, you're right, that would be a scary thought

264
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:42.200
<v Speaker 7>as well. I think that the inspection should instead of

265
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:46.840
<v Speaker 7>basing it on a yearly basis, what about going to

266
00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:51.799
<v Speaker 7>a mileage doing it on a mileage basis, so instead

267
00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:55.679
<v Speaker 7>of doing it every year. You know, there might be

268
00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:59.399
<v Speaker 7>a woman up the street who's eighty years old and

269
00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:01.399
<v Speaker 7>she drives car once a week to go to the

270
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:04.600
<v Speaker 7>grocery store, and you know she puts on maybe twelve

271
00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:08.639
<v Speaker 7>hundred dollars dollars, yeah, miles a year, where someone like

272
00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:13.600
<v Speaker 7>me might put on fifteen thousand a year. I just

273
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:17.879
<v Speaker 7>think that it's silly to base it on a timeframe.

274
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:21.759
<v Speaker 7>I think if you're going to keep it, then you

275
00:15:21.799 --> 00:15:25.960
<v Speaker 7>should base it on a mileage rather than on a

276
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:27.360
<v Speaker 7>time I.

277
00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:29.720
<v Speaker 2>Think that's a great suggestion. Earlier tonight, a couple of

278
00:15:29.799 --> 00:15:32.919
<v Speaker 2>people said, well, if it's a new vehicle, you shouldn't

279
00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:34.879
<v Speaker 2>have to have to get an inspection for like, let's

280
00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:37.200
<v Speaker 2>say three years. And I could go with that. You

281
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:41.480
<v Speaker 2>buy a new vehicle, that's a huge expense, and you

282
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:43.879
<v Speaker 2>get a waiver for the first couple of years, so

283
00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:47.720
<v Speaker 2>three years or whatever, and then maybe maybe when it

284
00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:51.279
<v Speaker 2>passes inspection, if it passes inspection with flying colors, the

285
00:15:51.360 --> 00:15:54.000
<v Speaker 2>next inspection is a couple of years out. But or

286
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:57.200
<v Speaker 2>you could do it like you said, based upon you

287
00:15:57.240 --> 00:15:59.960
<v Speaker 2>know the mileage, or maybe you could have a combination.

288
00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:04.240
<v Speaker 2>A new vehicle three years or until let's say they

289
00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:07.360
<v Speaker 2>put twenty five thousand miles on it. Most people would

290
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:09.840
<v Speaker 2>put twenty five thousand. Well you know you could you

291
00:16:09.879 --> 00:16:12.240
<v Speaker 2>could come up with even if you if you got

292
00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:14.559
<v Speaker 2>twenty five Let's assume you buy a new car and

293
00:16:14.639 --> 00:16:17.879
<v Speaker 2>you're putting on ten thousand miles a year, Well, you're

294
00:16:17.879 --> 00:16:21.159
<v Speaker 2>going to hit twenty five thousand after three years, you

295
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:25.840
<v Speaker 2>would say three years or twenty five thousand, whichever cars last.

296
00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:28.039
<v Speaker 2>So in your case you wait for the three years.

297
00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:31.399
<v Speaker 2>For the lady who only drives, say five thousand miles

298
00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:35.080
<v Speaker 2>a year, she buys a new car, she doesn't get

299
00:16:35.080 --> 00:16:36.679
<v Speaker 2>to thirty thousand for six years.

300
00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:38.360
<v Speaker 7>I mean, you could come up with.

301
00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Something which would be a combination of both time and mileage.

302
00:16:42.039 --> 00:16:44.039
<v Speaker 2>Your mileage point is an excellent point.

303
00:16:44.639 --> 00:16:47.799
<v Speaker 7>So yeah, I have Have you ever brought your car

304
00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:51.159
<v Speaker 7>in for an inspection and had them discover something that

305
00:16:51.240 --> 00:16:54.279
<v Speaker 7>you didn't know? I have never had them find something

306
00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:55.200
<v Speaker 7>that I wasn't aware of.

307
00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:58.559
<v Speaker 2>Well, the guy that I go to does a really

308
00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:01.879
<v Speaker 2>good job, and he will sometimes you'll say to me,

309
00:17:01.960 --> 00:17:03.600
<v Speaker 2>it would be more like, hey, you know what you

310
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:06.920
<v Speaker 2>want to be keeping this? He does a really good job.

311
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:08.759
<v Speaker 2>He's never said to me, oh, do you know that

312
00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:10.799
<v Speaker 2>you have no oil in your car? Because you're oil

313
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:15.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, is leaky. No, but he'll sometimes say, hey,

314
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:17.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, I don't know what you're doing here, but

315
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:19.960
<v Speaker 2>that rear tire is a you've got to keep an

316
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:22.400
<v Speaker 2>eye on that that's down a little bit. So he's

317
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:25.799
<v Speaker 2>good in that regard. But but I'm like you. No

318
00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:27.759
<v Speaker 2>one has said to me, hey, you know, do you

319
00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:31.000
<v Speaker 2>you know you you're you're driving on four ball tires?

320
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:33.599
<v Speaker 2>Of course, not because I'm checking my tires every couple

321
00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:35.480
<v Speaker 2>of months anyway, because because if.

322
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:38.200
<v Speaker 7>There's a blow up, serving to do that. I mean,

323
00:17:38.799 --> 00:17:44.039
<v Speaker 7>I think most drivers are very conscientious and sure there

324
00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:47.839
<v Speaker 7>are going to be people that drive in cars that

325
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:52.319
<v Speaker 7>are are not safe. But like you, I spent many,

326
00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:55.359
<v Speaker 7>many years as a reporter covering, oh my god, hundreds

327
00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:59.000
<v Speaker 7>and hundreds of accidents, many of them fatal, and it's

328
00:17:59.039 --> 00:18:00.720
<v Speaker 7>almost always error.

329
00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:06.119
<v Speaker 2>You know, now, now I know which Gale this is.

330
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:09.079
<v Speaker 2>Initially I didn't catch the voice Gail Huff. How are you?

331
00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:13.240
<v Speaker 7>I'm good, I'm good. No, this yeah, this is me?

332
00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:14.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

333
00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely. How Scott doing? Is he going to run for Senate?

334
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:22.720
<v Speaker 2>Up there with Well, you co'd probably break that story.

335
00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:25.079
<v Speaker 7>He's thinking hard. He's thinking hard about it. I can

336
00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:28.720
<v Speaker 7>say that he is. Yeah, for the past year. He's

337
00:18:28.759 --> 00:18:33.920
<v Speaker 7>been you know, for for years he was like, well,

338
00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:37.200
<v Speaker 7>I don't know, been there done that? You know, I

339
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:39.759
<v Speaker 7>don't know. And then he started to feel like, oh,

340
00:18:39.759 --> 00:18:42.160
<v Speaker 7>there are so many things that need to get done.

341
00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:45.000
<v Speaker 7>I wish I was there to help, et cetera. So

342
00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:47.960
<v Speaker 7>he's definitely thinking about it.

343
00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:50.680
<v Speaker 2>He's the guy that can maybe break up that monopoly

344
00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:54.079
<v Speaker 2>up there. I help her, So I said no, And

345
00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:57.480
<v Speaker 2>I just think that there should be they should have

346
00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:01.079
<v Speaker 2>some some strong congressional candidates up there. And you know,

347
00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:03.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, I wish that the voters of that first

348
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:07.200
<v Speaker 2>district have been smart enough to it was district one

349
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:08.240
<v Speaker 2>that you ran for.

350
00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:12.640
<v Speaker 7>Correct, Yes, yeah, yeah, I ran a couple of cycles ago.

351
00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:13.079
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

352
00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:14.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

353
00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:19.759
<v Speaker 7>It's strange because you know, our executive branch, our governor,

354
00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:23.920
<v Speaker 7>our legislature is you know, obviously we have a Republican majority,

355
00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:28.599
<v Speaker 7>but the voters send Democrats to Washington every you know,

356
00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:29.440
<v Speaker 7>every two.

357
00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:31.440
<v Speaker 3>Years, and it's I.

358
00:19:31.960 --> 00:19:35.200
<v Speaker 7>Just don't think they represent the voters of New Hampshire.

359
00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Well it wasn't always that way, No.

360
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:40.920
<v Speaker 7>It wasn't. No, it wasn't.

361
00:19:40.960 --> 00:19:43.480
<v Speaker 2>You and I both remember when you know, the Warren

362
00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:46.759
<v Speaker 2>Rudman's of the world and the Gordon Humphreys were up

363
00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:52.759
<v Speaker 2>there in the Senate, and unfortunately the Republicans are not

364
00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.200
<v Speaker 2>produced people. Maybe you should take a shot at it too, you.

365
00:19:56.200 --> 00:20:02.640
<v Speaker 7>Know, No, no, no, no, no, no, my god, no, no,

366
00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:08.119
<v Speaker 7>Grand babies I have, I have four grandchildren.

367
00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:12.160
<v Speaker 2>Now, well, we may get get a little closer to

368
00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:15.960
<v Speaker 2>you this weekend where I will tell you and I

369
00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:18.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, I always believe in jenxus and stuff. But

370
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:22.880
<v Speaker 2>we're our son and his wife. We're hoping in the

371
00:20:23.000 --> 00:20:25.279
<v Speaker 2>next week or so, we'll be presenting us with a

372
00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:30.240
<v Speaker 2>second But I haven't said much about it because you

373
00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.680
<v Speaker 2>know me, I believe you know I hate jinxes. So

374
00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:35.079
<v Speaker 2>we'll keep our fingers crossed.

375
00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:39.319
<v Speaker 7>Okay, how exciting congratulation? Is it not the greatest gift?

376
00:20:39.519 --> 00:20:41.400
<v Speaker 7>Oh it's well, I'll tell you.

377
00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:43.519
<v Speaker 2>They can be a challenge, can't they. I don't know

378
00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:45.559
<v Speaker 2>how I need to pick up some pointers from you.

379
00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:49.920
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I don't know if I can get pointers, but

380
00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:54.400
<v Speaker 7>I will say that it's just been for me the

381
00:20:54.440 --> 00:20:59.359
<v Speaker 7>most amazing experience to be able to go through, you know,

382
00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:03.279
<v Speaker 7>just the different stages again and and this time do

383
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:06.319
<v Speaker 7>it in in such a different light because I don't

384
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:09.799
<v Speaker 7>have the same anxiety as you know, being the parent.

385
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:15.119
<v Speaker 7>So it's it's so identified with that. Well, good luck

386
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:16.799
<v Speaker 7>and congratulations.

387
00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I'm I'm the disciplinarian and uh, you know,

388
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:27.400
<v Speaker 2>it's like I expect I'm not Yeah, no, well, no,

389
00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:29.559
<v Speaker 2>you haven't met you haven't met my wife on this one,

390
00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:32.720
<v Speaker 2>trust me. Okay, it's like if he if he said,

391
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:35.119
<v Speaker 2>you know, would you put the apple on your head?

392
00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:37.279
<v Speaker 2>I want to try to shoot the apple off your

393
00:21:37.279 --> 00:21:39.480
<v Speaker 2>head with this bow and arrow, all the apples on

394
00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:47.920
<v Speaker 2>the head. It's like, please whatever, uh, Jail again, I

395
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:51.880
<v Speaker 2>love you, please say had to Scott and you talk

396
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:55.160
<v Speaker 2>soon and thanks so much for calling in. Okay, we'll

397
00:21:55.200 --> 00:21:58.759
<v Speaker 2>talk soon, thanks so much. All righty ladies and gentlemen,

398
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:01.720
<v Speaker 2>the great Gail Huff. I spent so many mornings with

399
00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:05.759
<v Speaker 2>Gail covering our stories together between four and five. Okay,

400
00:22:06.440 --> 00:22:11.079
<v Speaker 2>we have a few minutes left in this hour. I

401
00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:15.160
<v Speaker 2>want to know would you be in favor of eliminating

402
00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:22.119
<v Speaker 2>your annual automobile inspection, either eliminating it completely or maybe

403
00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:25.480
<v Speaker 2>making it not an annual inspection, maybe every two years,

404
00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:29.240
<v Speaker 2>every three years. In New Hampshire, the Republican House of

405
00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:34.519
<v Speaker 2>Representatives overwhelmingly has voted to eliminate Massachusetts. New Hampshire only

406
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:38.519
<v Speaker 2>two of fourteen states that have auto and truck inspection.

407
00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:44.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, for private automobiles. Commercial vehicle's different story commercial truck.

408
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:47.200
<v Speaker 2>Commercial vehicle is still going to be inspected in New

409
00:22:47.200 --> 00:22:50.079
<v Speaker 2>Hampshire's I understand it. These would be for private automobiles,

410
00:22:50.119 --> 00:22:53.079
<v Speaker 2>your car, your truck. What do you think if you're

411
00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:56.160
<v Speaker 2>in a state where you have inspections, would you eliminate it?

412
00:22:56.519 --> 00:22:58.319
<v Speaker 2>If you're a state that doesn't and there are only

413
00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:01.200
<v Speaker 2>fourteen that have inspections most I'm here in the Great Northeast.

414
00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:03.160
<v Speaker 2>If you're in a space in a state that doesn't

415
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:05.319
<v Speaker 2>have inspections, do you think it would be smart to

416
00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:08.559
<v Speaker 2>adopt them? Massachusetts, I think it's thirty nine dollars a year,

417
00:23:08.680 --> 00:23:11.519
<v Speaker 2>probably's gone up in the last year. I'm suspecting I'm

418
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:14.480
<v Speaker 2>due for an inspection sometime next month. We'll see how

419
00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:17.640
<v Speaker 2>that goes. At eleven o'clock tonight, we are going to

420
00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:19.920
<v Speaker 2>change topics, so you want to get in now, and

421
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:21.880
<v Speaker 2>we're going to talk to the CEO of a company

422
00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:26.160
<v Speaker 2>called Bricks Holdings, a multi brand franchising company that now

423
00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:31.759
<v Speaker 2>owns Friendlies Restaurants, among other chains. They basically bring restaurant

424
00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:36.920
<v Speaker 2>chains out of bankruptcy, back from the economic dead. We're

425
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:39.400
<v Speaker 2>going to we're going to find out what's coming back,

426
00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:43.119
<v Speaker 2>what's never coming back. That begins at eleven o'clock. I

427
00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:46.240
<v Speaker 2>would like to continue on this topic until eleven. So

428
00:23:46.359 --> 00:23:49.240
<v Speaker 2>if you have a thought strongly in one one direction

429
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:54.680
<v Speaker 2>or the other about automobile annual automobile inspections, annual private

430
00:23:54.799 --> 00:23:58.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, your private vehicles just another way in which

431
00:23:58.480 --> 00:24:00.559
<v Speaker 2>the government can get the hand in your post or

432
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:04.039
<v Speaker 2>are they absolutely necessary? I think there's strong arguments on

433
00:24:04.160 --> 00:24:07.480
<v Speaker 2>either side. Let's light these lines up, finish strong, and

434
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:11.359
<v Speaker 2>we'll get to a really different but an equally interesting

435
00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:15.079
<v Speaker 2>hour at eleven back on night Side right after these

436
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:16.319
<v Speaker 2>this news break.

437
00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:24.119
<v Speaker 1>Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm Boston's news Radio.

438
00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:28.279
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's we can't. We got full lines here.

439
00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:30.440
<v Speaker 2>This is great, let's keep rolling. Gonna go next to

440
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:32.799
<v Speaker 2>Joe and Revere. Hi Joe, how are you tonight? Welcome?

00:24:49.759 --> 00:24:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Thank you? Okay? For some reason thirty you know.

450
00:24:52.359 --> 00:24:55.480
<v Speaker 8>As you know I self, guys, I've talked to you. Yep,

451
00:24:55.559 --> 00:25:00.400
<v Speaker 8>absolutely sure, dealership, any new vehicle that comes in, it's

452
00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:05.480
<v Speaker 8>a PDI, which is a pre driving inspection. Okay, now

453
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:09.400
<v Speaker 8>we can PDI a car. It's just there three weeks

454
00:25:10.200 --> 00:25:14.440
<v Speaker 8>a recall comes out. Now as the dealership, we do

455
00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:19.039
<v Speaker 8>get alerted for the recall. But if you run it

456
00:25:19.079 --> 00:25:22.680
<v Speaker 8>through for a sticker, there's an automatic stop. There's a

457
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:27.279
<v Speaker 8>safety belt recall there is. It's just an inspection of this.

458
00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:31.839
<v Speaker 8>It's that it's a software upgrade. But they come out now.

459
00:25:31.960 --> 00:25:35.720
<v Speaker 8>If you don't do the sticker, there is a chance

460
00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:38.680
<v Speaker 8>that no one will know that there's a recall on

461
00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:39.400
<v Speaker 8>their vehicle.

462
00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:40.920
<v Speaker 9>So we laugh.

463
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:43.160
<v Speaker 8>When we're run new vehicles through, it's like yeah, like

464
00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:45.880
<v Speaker 8>it ain't gonna pass. Of course it's going to pass.

465
00:25:46.640 --> 00:25:50.559
<v Speaker 8>But the thing with the sticker is if there is

466
00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:52.720
<v Speaker 8>a recall that came out a week or two later

467
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:55.880
<v Speaker 8>then we bought the vehicle, it's gonna flag it and

468
00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:56.440
<v Speaker 8>tell them.

469
00:25:58.279 --> 00:26:01.559
<v Speaker 2>So I guess, Joe, how often does that happen?

470
00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:02.680
<v Speaker 9>All? Right?

471
00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:07.000
<v Speaker 8>About eight times? And I've been there fourteen years. Eight

472
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:07.720
<v Speaker 8>not often?

473
00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:08.759
<v Speaker 2>Not off?

474
00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:11.880
<v Speaker 8>No, okay no, but what if it's a safety recall?

475
00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:12.160
<v Speaker 6>Did?

476
00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:14.799
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, I get it. No, no, no, no, no,

477
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:18.599
<v Speaker 2>I understand, and I would assume most of the recalls,

478
00:26:18.839 --> 00:26:22.640
<v Speaker 2>but maybe maybe I'm making most of the recall safety recalls.

479
00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:29.920
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, well, a safety recall will stop it from stickering.

480
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:34.519
<v Speaker 8>If it's not a safety recall, it could be go through.

481
00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:37.920
<v Speaker 8>But they would alert or something to recall. They would assume.

482
00:26:38.039 --> 00:26:41.720
<v Speaker 8>I would work for a Chevy dealership.

483
00:26:41.359 --> 00:26:41.440
<v Speaker 3>So.

484
00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:45.640
<v Speaker 8>You know they we do get alerts on these things.

485
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:49.440
<v Speaker 8>But you know, I'm assuming, Joe, something could get.

486
00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:53.279
<v Speaker 2>By God, Joe, here's my question. I'm assuming that most

487
00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:57.079
<v Speaker 2>recalls are for safety reasons. I mean, I guess there

488
00:26:57.119 --> 00:26:59.920
<v Speaker 2>could be a recall that wasn't safety. But if it's

489
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:03.119
<v Speaker 2>seat belt recall, if there's something wrong, you know with

490
00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:08.599
<v Speaker 2>the electronics, Uh, I would assume that virtually for them

491
00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:12.640
<v Speaker 2>to recall and tell everybody who's driving a twenty twenty

492
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:15.759
<v Speaker 2>three whatever fill in the blank, that's got to be

493
00:27:16.079 --> 00:27:17.559
<v Speaker 2>pretty serious stuff.

494
00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:17.599
<v Speaker 3>You know.

495
00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:18.480
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

496
00:27:18.599 --> 00:27:23.039
<v Speaker 8>Well, no, sometimes it isn't dan. Sometimes it's an inspection

497
00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:26.480
<v Speaker 8>stuff like that. But what I'm saying is when the

498
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:30.400
<v Speaker 8>new cop comes in, someone buys the new car, we

499
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:33.200
<v Speaker 8>run it through. If we don't do a sticker on

500
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:36.839
<v Speaker 8>it because we think it's just the state trying to

501
00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:39.839
<v Speaker 8>get more money because of course it's going to pass.

502
00:27:40.599 --> 00:27:42.680
<v Speaker 8>They get alerted we could have a car, and then

503
00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:45.200
<v Speaker 8>two weeks later the recall comes out.

504
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:49.400
<v Speaker 2>Now I got it. I got it the first time. Yeah,

505
00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:53.920
<v Speaker 2>so yeah, it can happen. I guess it can happen. Hey, Joe, thanks,

506
00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:57.559
<v Speaker 2>thank you as always for clarifying that. Thanks. How how's

507
00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:00.759
<v Speaker 2>car business hasn't been heck pic in the last couple

508
00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:04.160
<v Speaker 2>of weeks with all this rumors about tariffs and everything.

509
00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:07.720
<v Speaker 8>Dan, Dan, it's always hectic. By the way, I want

510
00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:09.559
<v Speaker 8>to sell you an EO V. Your daughter would be

511
00:28:09.640 --> 00:28:13.119
<v Speaker 8>so proud, okay, she would.

512
00:28:13.480 --> 00:28:15.400
<v Speaker 2>What do you reckon? What do you now? It was

513
00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:19.480
<v Speaker 2>you're you said you're a Chevy dealership. What of the

514
00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:22.160
<v Speaker 2>new Chevys do you think is the best one? What

515
00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:22.720
<v Speaker 2>was you read?

516
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:28.319
<v Speaker 8>I love the Equinox EV. It's the technology is crazy, Dan.

517
00:28:28.759 --> 00:28:30.680
<v Speaker 8>I'd spend two hours with you. I mean you would

518
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:33.319
<v Speaker 8>still be scratching I had saying what else does it do?

519
00:28:35.559 --> 00:28:35.680
<v Speaker 3>How?

520
00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:39.319
<v Speaker 2>What's what's the sticker price? What's the stick a price?

521
00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:42.359
<v Speaker 2>What's the sticker price on an Equinox EV?

522
00:28:43.160 --> 00:28:43.279
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

523
00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:47.279
<v Speaker 8>Probably close to forty. But then there's a seventy five

524
00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:52.200
<v Speaker 8>hundred dollars rebate from the government for buying it, and

525
00:28:52.599 --> 00:28:54.559
<v Speaker 8>you know it's beautiful.

526
00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Then you got to have a Then you have to

527
00:28:56.960 --> 00:28:58.440
<v Speaker 2>have a charging station at home.

528
00:28:58.559 --> 00:29:01.279
<v Speaker 8>Right, Well, you could do a one ten depends on

529
00:29:01.319 --> 00:29:05.680
<v Speaker 8>how much you drive. If you drive, you know, fifty

530
00:29:05.759 --> 00:29:07.440
<v Speaker 8>miles a day, you can charge it on a regular

531
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:09.519
<v Speaker 8>one ten out of it. If you have a two

532
00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:12.319
<v Speaker 8>twenty feet going in your house, then you can go

533
00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:16.920
<v Speaker 8>to the higher level charging, which the adapter does in

534
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:19.680
<v Speaker 8>the vehicle we sell you, and then you can charge

535
00:29:19.720 --> 00:29:22.240
<v Speaker 8>it in probably eight hours, don't either.

536
00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:25.319
<v Speaker 2>All right, all right, something to think about, Joe, I

537
00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:27.440
<v Speaker 2>got to run here up my break. Always great to

538
00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:28.000
<v Speaker 2>hear your voice.

541
00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:36.119
<v Speaker 2>we had two calls from New Hampshire. Bob and Wakefield, Massachusetts,

542
00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:38.359
<v Speaker 2>Joe in New Hampshire and Brian and Dery, New Hampshire.

543
00:29:38.640 --> 00:29:40.279
<v Speaker 2>We will get to all three of them and then

544
00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:42.599
<v Speaker 2>we will change topics at eleven o'clock. If you want

545
00:29:42.640 --> 00:29:44.960
<v Speaker 2>to try to sneak in, I promise we got Joe,

546
00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:48.599
<v Speaker 2>Bob and Brian maybe room for you, but you got it.

547
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:50.920
<v Speaker 2>You'll be taking a chance coming back on Nightside.

548
00:29:51.759 --> 00:29:56.039
<v Speaker 1>You're on Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's

549
00:29:56.079 --> 00:29:56.680
<v Speaker 1>news radio.

550
00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:02.079
<v Speaker 2>Back to the phone's going to go to Bob and Wakefield. First, Bob,

551
00:30:02.119 --> 00:30:03.119
<v Speaker 2>you were next on Nightsiger.

552
00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:06.400
<v Speaker 4>Right ahead, Hey Dan, how are you good, sir?

553
00:30:06.519 --> 00:30:07.000
<v Speaker 2>What's going on?

554
00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:08.119
<v Speaker 8>Hey?

555
00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:08.599
<v Speaker 6>Dan?

556
00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:10.400
<v Speaker 4>I get a question. But first of all, as far

557
00:30:10.440 --> 00:30:12.680
<v Speaker 4>as the inspection stickers, I don't really have a it's

558
00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:14.640
<v Speaker 4>thirty five bucks a year. I don't really have a

559
00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:17.440
<v Speaker 4>real problem with that. But I do have a problem.

560
00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:20.359
<v Speaker 4>It's a pet peeve of mine. It's called noise pollution.

561
00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:22.920
<v Speaker 4>And I don't know whether you've noticed this, but Ef,

562
00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:24.839
<v Speaker 4>we're out on the road or the highway or walking

563
00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:26.759
<v Speaker 4>and you hit these cars going by, they sound like

564
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:27.519
<v Speaker 4>a motorcycle.

565
00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:28.759
<v Speaker 2>You bet you're sure?

566
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:29.640
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

567
00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:32.279
<v Speaker 4>Well, anyway, these are cut off. These are muffler cutoffs

568
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:37.680
<v Speaker 4>that they're aftermarket, and the individual that owans these cars

569
00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:39.599
<v Speaker 4>are putting these things on them purpose. You can buy

570
00:30:39.680 --> 00:30:41.720
<v Speaker 4>them on eBay, get them on the amaz offered.

571
00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why. I just don't know why. Anybody

572
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:47.880
<v Speaker 2>who's in a car once the car does sound like that,

573
00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:49.680
<v Speaker 2>don't get.

574
00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:52.640
<v Speaker 4>Here's my issue. No, I totally agree with you. I

575
00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:57.440
<v Speaker 4>have no idea either. The thing is in Massachusetts General Laws,

576
00:30:57.519 --> 00:31:00.359
<v Speaker 4>Part one, and there's a whole bunch of other numbers

577
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:03.240
<v Speaker 4>after that. No person shall and I'm really used to

578
00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:07.039
<v Speaker 4>that word shall is Electrician Daniel shell Shells mean you can't.

579
00:31:07.519 --> 00:31:10.160
<v Speaker 4>So it says no person shall use a muffler cut

580
00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:13.519
<v Speaker 4>off or a bypass. So my question is, I don't

581
00:31:13.559 --> 00:31:15.279
<v Speaker 4>know how these cars are going in and getting an

582
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:19.240
<v Speaker 4>inspection and not getting flagged for these things because they're

583
00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:22.680
<v Speaker 4>illegal in Massachusetts. That's that's my problem.

584
00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:27.119
<v Speaker 2>Well, maybe maybe they're not seeing it. Maybe they're going

585
00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:29.400
<v Speaker 2>to guys who they know. I wish I could tell you.

586
00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:30.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

587
00:31:30.559 --> 00:31:32.960
<v Speaker 4>Well maybe maybe if you could do this, Dan, if

588
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:34.799
<v Speaker 4>you get the next time I know you've had the

589
00:31:34.839 --> 00:31:36.599
<v Speaker 4>register on every once in a while, if you get

590
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:38.839
<v Speaker 4>the register on, if you could maybe get asked the

591
00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:41.599
<v Speaker 4>register you know why they're not enforcing that because it

592
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:44.559
<v Speaker 4>is it's it's it's absolutely insane. They sound like motorcycles

593
00:31:44.599 --> 00:31:45.680
<v Speaker 4>going by my house every night.

594
00:31:46.440 --> 00:31:51.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, the Registrar Motive Vehicles has not been There was

595
00:31:51.960 --> 00:31:53.880
<v Speaker 2>a period of time we would have the Registrar Motive

596
00:31:53.960 --> 00:31:56.839
<v Speaker 2>Vehicles on quite frequently, but for some reason, I think

597
00:31:57.240 --> 00:32:00.480
<v Speaker 2>there's been so many problems that the Registry, including the

598
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:03.160
<v Speaker 2>real ID fiasco that's been going on for the last

599
00:32:03.240 --> 00:32:06.400
<v Speaker 2>few weeks, that I think the Register's last name is

600
00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:12.039
<v Speaker 2>ogilvy uh, and she hasn't been anxious. They're they're pr people,

601
00:32:12.200 --> 00:32:16.319
<v Speaker 2>and they basically hide. They get these these great jobs,

602
00:32:16.359 --> 00:32:18.799
<v Speaker 2>and they figured that they only are going to get

603
00:32:18.839 --> 00:32:20.920
<v Speaker 2>in trouble doing a radio show. That's what I think

604
00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:22.119
<v Speaker 2>goes on with a lot of them.

605
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:24.920
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I don't understand it. But again, this is

606
00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:26.799
<v Speaker 4>not the step on it. But but you know, I

607
00:32:26.920 --> 00:32:27.839
<v Speaker 4>just don't understand why.

608
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:30.000
<v Speaker 2>I think you raised a great point, Bob. I think

609
00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:31.640
<v Speaker 2>you raised a great point, as you often do. And

610
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:34.400
<v Speaker 2>maybe someone else has a quick answer for us out there.

611
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:36.839
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I've listened to some of these cars go

612
00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:39.279
<v Speaker 2>by me and it's like a nice weather for the

613
00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:41.599
<v Speaker 2>maybe you got the window halfway down or whatever, and

614
00:32:41.640 --> 00:32:44.039
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, like come on, what what what's

615
00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:46.440
<v Speaker 2>this all about? Oh, it's the same way the guy

616
00:32:46.559 --> 00:32:50.359
<v Speaker 2>that's got the radio, that's got the radio blasted and

617
00:32:50.519 --> 00:32:54.039
<v Speaker 2>the windows are down. Okay, it's like, if you really

618
00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:57.519
<v Speaker 2>want the radio that loud pull the windows up so

619
00:32:57.759 --> 00:33:01.240
<v Speaker 2>it can reverberate inside your darn car. You know, that's

620
00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:04.599
<v Speaker 2>another story. It's the same mentality. I got to get

621
00:33:04.599 --> 00:33:07.079
<v Speaker 2>two more in here, Bob, so I'm gonna let you scooter. Kay. Thanks.

622
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:10.200
<v Speaker 4>And one last thing. These things are connected to a switchcam, okay,

623
00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:11.839
<v Speaker 4>so they can turn them on and they can turn

624
00:33:11.880 --> 00:33:12.240
<v Speaker 4>them off.

625
00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:12.559
<v Speaker 8>Okay.

626
00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:14.240
<v Speaker 4>If they feel like making some noise, they turn the

627
00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:16.599
<v Speaker 4>switch on and then they can turn them right off.

628
00:33:16.640 --> 00:33:18.720
<v Speaker 4>It's ridiculous. All right there, buddy, We'll talk to you

629
00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:19.200
<v Speaker 4>a little later.

630
00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:21.839
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Thank you, Bob, appreciate its keep rolling here. Going

631
00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:23.759
<v Speaker 2>to go first to Joe and then to Brian in

632
00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:25.279
<v Speaker 2>New Hampshire. Joe you in next one nights.

633
00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:28.200
<v Speaker 6>I go right ahead, Dan, thanks shaking my call.

634
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:31.160
<v Speaker 9>Thank you for getting me through so many drives home.

635
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:34.279
<v Speaker 9>I'm actually driving home from Beverly. I had a show

636
00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:37.279
<v Speaker 9>to night in Beverly, driving back to New Hampshire. So

637
00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:40.079
<v Speaker 9>this is one that's near and dear in my heart.

638
00:33:40.559 --> 00:33:43.079
<v Speaker 9>Get rid of it. I always make the joke that

639
00:33:43.880 --> 00:33:46.440
<v Speaker 9>I want to run for office just to get rid

640
00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:49.440
<v Speaker 9>of state inspections, and then I'll resign the next day

641
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:52.319
<v Speaker 9>and let someone that knows how to do that job.

642
00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:56.200
<v Speaker 9>Do it. But it's the biggest money grab, the biggest

643
00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:59.920
<v Speaker 9>scam if anything. I feel like it should be state

644
00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:05.960
<v Speaker 9>run because personal experience. My wife actually went got an inspection.

645
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:09.079
<v Speaker 9>They told her that her brakes were bad and she

646
00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:13.719
<v Speaker 9>needed new breaks, and the brakes were actually well within

647
00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:16.440
<v Speaker 9>the regulations. You can go to the New State in

648
00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:20.039
<v Speaker 9>ma Hampshire website and it tells you what everything has

649
00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:23.599
<v Speaker 9>to be and like the regulations and her breaks the

650
00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:28.199
<v Speaker 9>millimeters were well within that. So I've always just been

651
00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:33.199
<v Speaker 9>soured towards inspections. I actually have not got an inspection

652
00:34:33.480 --> 00:34:36.760
<v Speaker 9>last year. I was pulled over one time and the

653
00:34:36.840 --> 00:34:40.960
<v Speaker 9>police officer told me I would never give a ticket

654
00:34:41.079 --> 00:34:45.079
<v Speaker 9>for an inspection sticker, so just get a new.

655
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:46.320
<v Speaker 4>One and that was it.

656
00:34:47.000 --> 00:34:51.599
<v Speaker 9>So I have two more or it's the end of

657
00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:54.639
<v Speaker 9>April now, so I probably have a week left before

658
00:34:54.679 --> 00:34:58.039
<v Speaker 9>I have to get my twenty twenty or twenty twenty

659
00:34:58.119 --> 00:35:00.599
<v Speaker 9>five sticker I never got last year.

660
00:35:03.039 --> 00:35:06.880
<v Speaker 2>You you, I am a rebel on the edge.

661
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:11.039
<v Speaker 9>I am that guy that didn't rewind the video tapes

662
00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:15.960
<v Speaker 9>at Blockbuster. No, it's just sort of my my little

663
00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:21.280
<v Speaker 9>thing to get. I'm just so against them and I

664
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:24.679
<v Speaker 9>would rather pay a fine than go to a mechanic

665
00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:28.760
<v Speaker 9>that I know my car is going to pass an inspection.

666
00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:32.400
<v Speaker 9>There's nothing wrong with it at all. I just it's

667
00:35:32.599 --> 00:35:34.840
<v Speaker 9>just my little thing. I don't want to do it.

668
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:38.320
<v Speaker 9>My wife is very much about obeying the law, and

669
00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:41.440
<v Speaker 9>she has an inspection sticker. I won't do it, though.

670
00:35:42.239 --> 00:35:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, you're a little bit of a rebel, but you're

671
00:35:43.960 --> 00:35:45.840
<v Speaker 2>in a good state. Live for you die. What are

672
00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:48.159
<v Speaker 2>you a musician that you had a show tonight somewhere?

673
00:35:48.679 --> 00:35:48.800
<v Speaker 3>Uh?

674
00:35:49.159 --> 00:35:51.960
<v Speaker 9>No, I do professional wrestling. So we actually had an

675
00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:55.119
<v Speaker 9>event at Endicott College, and I'm.

676
00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Trying to do with college very well. So are you

677
00:35:57.000 --> 00:35:57.599
<v Speaker 2>a wrestler.

678
00:35:59.079 --> 00:36:03.000
<v Speaker 9>I'm a manager, So I actually just make everybody really

679
00:36:03.199 --> 00:36:05.239
<v Speaker 9>mad at me and then get in there and get

680
00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:07.000
<v Speaker 9>beat up, get paid in the home.

681
00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:12.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Oh you know something. One of my favorite sports

682
00:36:12.159 --> 00:36:16.320
<v Speaker 2>figures was the Grand Wizard of Wrestling. Yah.

683
00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:19.480
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, I mean back in the seventies and eighties.

684
00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:23.280
<v Speaker 2>He's an icon in my age, in my mind, and

685
00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:28.480
<v Speaker 2>a brilliant tactician. By the way, I thought it was amazing.

686
00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:31.840
<v Speaker 9>I actually I feel a lot from him because nobody

687
00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:35.360
<v Speaker 9>wrestling fans nowadays don't know who the Grand Wizard is,

688
00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:40.440
<v Speaker 9>and he was probably three years before I started watching wrestling.

689
00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:44.119
<v Speaker 9>I'm a little bit older than most, but I appreciate

690
00:36:44.239 --> 00:36:48.360
<v Speaker 9>the Grand Wizard and I love, you know, just doing

691
00:36:48.440 --> 00:36:49.639
<v Speaker 9>the little things that he did.

692
00:36:50.280 --> 00:36:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I will bet you that you're surprised that this

693
00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:57.519
<v Speaker 2>talk show host was able to refer to the Grand

694
00:36:57.599 --> 00:37:00.719
<v Speaker 2>Wizard of wrestling. It shows what a broad college I have.

695
00:37:01.079 --> 00:37:04.039
<v Speaker 2>Because the thing about wrestling is Eddie Andelman said, it's

696
00:37:04.039 --> 00:37:06.800
<v Speaker 2>the only sports that never been touched by scandal, and

697
00:37:06.960 --> 00:37:09.480
<v Speaker 2>it was. It was great minds and tacticians like the

698
00:37:09.519 --> 00:37:12.119
<v Speaker 2>Grand Wizard of Wrestling who kept it on the level.

699
00:37:12.199 --> 00:37:13.840
<v Speaker 2>So I thank you for what you do, and I

700
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:17.440
<v Speaker 2>hope you're following in his footsteps. And Joe keep us posted.

701
00:37:17.480 --> 00:37:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Maybe we'll do a show some night on wrestling. I

702
00:37:20.039 --> 00:37:20.559
<v Speaker 2>mean that song.

703
00:37:20.679 --> 00:37:22.480
<v Speaker 9>I will be the first to call. I would be

704
00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:23.039
<v Speaker 9>the first.

705
00:37:23.159 --> 00:37:25.480
<v Speaker 2>We may have you on as a guest and uh

706
00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:28.239
<v Speaker 2>and get sort of like behind the scenes stuff. But

707
00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:30.559
<v Speaker 2>that's great. I'm so great. You had a nice crowd

708
00:37:30.639 --> 00:37:32.400
<v Speaker 2>up at the school tonight, I hope.

709
00:37:33.280 --> 00:37:36.519
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, there was about five hundred and fifty people and

710
00:37:36.639 --> 00:37:38.800
<v Speaker 9>they only sold it to the college students.

711
00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:40.320
<v Speaker 6>So it was great.

712
00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's great. It's great to get college students into

713
00:37:43.440 --> 00:37:45.440
<v Speaker 2>the sport because I think it's one of the purest

714
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:47.719
<v Speaker 2>sports that there is and I think we should have,

715
00:37:48.280 --> 00:37:51.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, professional wrestling in the Olympics, and I think

716
00:37:51.239 --> 00:37:54.800
<v Speaker 2>in my lifetime it's my dream that that we have that. Joe,

717
00:37:54.920 --> 00:37:57.559
<v Speaker 2>thank you so much for your call. Please keep in touch. Okay,

718
00:37:57.599 --> 00:37:59.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean that honestly. Rob will give you my director.

721
00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:07.519
<v Speaker 2>one more. Callit here, Brian and Derry, New Hampshire. Brian,

722
00:38:07.599 --> 00:38:10.480
<v Speaker 2>we've we've blown up New Hampshire tonight. You're gonna end

723
00:38:10.519 --> 00:38:10.960
<v Speaker 2>in first.

724
00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:15.320
<v Speaker 6>Go ahead, Brian, Hawaii, Dan, thank you. Thirteen states throughout

725
00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:19.800
<v Speaker 6>the fifty throughout the country don't have inspections thickness thirteen states.

726
00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:21.719
<v Speaker 2>Thirteen have them.

727
00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:23.559
<v Speaker 6>Well, no, it's thirty.

728
00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:29.199
<v Speaker 2>No, No, I think you're I'm gonna disagree with you

729
00:38:29.280 --> 00:38:32.480
<v Speaker 2>on that. The vast majority of states do not have

730
00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:34.679
<v Speaker 2>the requirement of inspection stickers.

731
00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:39.360
<v Speaker 6>That's right, that's right, do not And up here, Okay,

732
00:38:39.599 --> 00:38:41.159
<v Speaker 6>you got a double niggati about me.

733
00:38:41.239 --> 00:38:45.239
<v Speaker 2>There but yeah, ironically Massachusetts and New Hampshire we have

734
00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:49.760
<v Speaker 2>we have laws and requirements in Massachusetts for everything everything.

735
00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:51.800
<v Speaker 2>In New Hampshire, you guys are live for your die

736
00:38:51.880 --> 00:38:53.559
<v Speaker 2>state and you still have whatever.

737
00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:56.400
<v Speaker 6>Whatever, whatever, even doesn't move, its.

738
00:38:56.360 --> 00:38:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Tax everything in the only two things that, as I've

739
00:38:59.519 --> 00:39:02.320
<v Speaker 2>said before, anything that moves and anything that doesn't move

740
00:39:02.400 --> 00:39:04.639
<v Speaker 2>gets taxed. Absolutely, yeah, exactly.

741
00:39:04.800 --> 00:39:07.440
<v Speaker 6>And also it should be due to the matt three.

742
00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:09.719
<v Speaker 9>Years thirty six thousand miles bump a bumper on a

743
00:39:09.800 --> 00:39:12.760
<v Speaker 9>warranty when you buy a new cap so this stick

744
00:39:13.039 --> 00:39:13.760
<v Speaker 9>for three years.

745
00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:19.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, it's not unreasonable. I think you know. I listened

746
00:39:19.800 --> 00:39:22.800
<v Speaker 2>to the nine o'clock hour because we had Steve Smith,

747
00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:26.559
<v Speaker 2>who's the Deputy Speaker of the House, a Republican up
