Speaker 1: It's nice eyes unknell you easy Boston's news radio. Go ahead,
Speaker 1: hit it, Rob Soredity, Now you know what really grinds
Speaker 1: my gears?
Speaker 2: People in the nineteenth century, Why don't take that with
Speaker 2: the freaking program. It's called an automobile, folks. It's much
Speaker 2: faster than a horse three two one one two three.
Speaker 3: What the heck it's bothering me.
Speaker 1: This is a place of business.
Speaker 4: I told you now to come in here, Soriadity.
Speaker 1: Now my years they grind might stay And I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the question for this twentieth hour. This is an
Speaker 1: opportunity for to get it off your chest. What grinds
Speaker 1: your gears? What event? And you can we can span
Speaker 1: the spectrum here, okay, we can span the world as
Speaker 1: they used to do on Wide World of Sports. I
Speaker 1: have several things that grind my gears, okay, and I
Speaker 1: would prefer to hear yours. Okay. You know that I'm
Speaker 1: not a big bike layme guy, okay, And that's for me.
Speaker 1: Something that just grinds my gears when I watch people,
Speaker 1: and no matter where you're driving, whether you're driving in
Speaker 1: the in the city and the suburbs in a more
Speaker 1: rural area. Someone's out there on that bike and let
Speaker 1: me tell you, they're the king and the Queen of
Speaker 1: the road and if you make the mistake, you make
Speaker 1: the mistake of getting too close to them. So yeah,
Speaker 1: for me, that's always that. I have some other issues
Speaker 1: that bother me. Okay, but that's what we're gonna do tonight.
Speaker 1: We need to sit back and what I need people
Speaker 1: to do is get it off your chest. Okay. A
Speaker 1: week from tonight, which will be the final Friday night
Speaker 1: of August, we will do for the sixth month in
Speaker 1: a row. And it's going to be really interesting next
Speaker 1: Friday night. Not that what grinds your gears is not
Speaker 1: going to be interesting tonight, a week from tonight, at
Speaker 1: this hour, in the twentieth hour of the weekend. For
Speaker 1: those of you who aren't familiar with my program, we
Speaker 1: do twenty hours a week. Some people think that's a
Speaker 1: part time job. It's more than a full time job,
Speaker 1: trust me, Okay, money do Friday eight to midnight. This
Speaker 1: is our number twenty. That's why we call it the
Speaker 1: twentieth hour. And we try we try to come up
Speaker 1: with a different topic which can allow us to kind
Speaker 1: of get into the weekend and we can put you know,
Speaker 1: all of the politics aside. Democrat, Republican, Trump, Harris Biden
Speaker 1: just kind of let that go, and so tonight it's
Speaker 1: an opportunity. What is it in your everyday life? Or
Speaker 1: maybe I don't know, maybe I'm not trying to tell
Speaker 1: you to what grinds your gears? What just kind of
Speaker 1: ticks you off? So that's what we're going to talk about.
Speaker 1: The lines will be open right now. Six one, seven, two, five, four,
Speaker 1: ten thirty six one seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty.
Speaker 1: What grinds your gears? It's as simple as that. And
Speaker 1: it can be a huge issue or it can be
Speaker 1: a minor issue, but mostly it's something that you have
Speaker 1: to see often. I mean the fact that someone cuts
Speaker 1: you off today on Route nine or Root one that's
Speaker 1: a one and done. That's a one and done. One
Speaker 1: of the things that in terms of motor vehicle traffic
Speaker 1: that grinds my gears. And I'd love to hear from
Speaker 1: some of you in this one if you agree with me,
Speaker 1: is you're you're sitting in the left hand lane and
Speaker 1: you're going sixty five miles an hour, okay, and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden someone comes up behind you with a truck.
Speaker 1: There's someone in front of you who's going sixty five
Speaker 1: miles an hour. There's someone in in front of them,
Speaker 1: maybe going sixty five miles an hour, maybe going sixty
Speaker 1: seven miles an hour, but this truck wants to go
Speaker 1: eighty five miles an hour. And they either don't want
Speaker 1: to pass you on the right or they just want
Speaker 1: to ride your bumper, so you get over. I used
Speaker 1: to really get upset about that. I'm not as upset
Speaker 1: about it anymore. What I'd like to do, particularly if
Speaker 1: there's somebody, I mean, if there's nobody in front of me,
Speaker 1: I'll gladly get over. You want to blow by me, great,
Speaker 1: I hope you meet mister state police officer. But if
Speaker 1: there's someone like just you know, a little bit in
Speaker 1: front of me, I pull over it because then the
Speaker 1: knucklehead behind me has to deal with the person who
Speaker 1: was in front of me. And I've watched these guys
Speaker 1: and they they are intent. Even if they have the
Speaker 1: opportunity to go into the middle lane and you know,
Speaker 1: blow by people, they want to be able to force
Speaker 1: you over. That's for them, that is the challenge, And
Speaker 1: of course that's very dangerous because if they're riding on
Speaker 1: your tail, literally on your and there are a lot
Speaker 1: of people who were unaware of it. Ah, if they
Speaker 1: happen to need to hit the brakes quickly. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, a small animal runs out of the woods.
Speaker 1: We're talking about being when you're on on one twenty
Speaker 1: Master Turnpike or whatever major roadway in your area. So
Speaker 1: that's the topic of the night. What grinds your gears?
Speaker 1: And there have been there have been things that that
Speaker 1: that have bothered a variety of people, and we normally
Speaker 1: get some pretty interesting reactions here. So let us start
Speaker 1: it off with I hope Bill in Pennsylvania's calling and
Speaker 1: what's grinding gears? Bill in Pennsylvania, welcome back? How are
Speaker 1: you sir?
Speaker 5: Good?
Speaker 6: How you doing?
Speaker 7: Dan?
Speaker 1: Haven't you great? Normally you call on politics. What grinds
Speaker 1: your gears?
Speaker 6: Well, grinds my gears? I I think as uh when
Speaker 6: I when I'm making phone calls, like I'm calling especially the.
Speaker 8: A uh.
Speaker 6: Vehicle the vehicle people, okay, yeah, or insurance companies, much
Speaker 6: doctor's office, but like, uh, the way the way the
Speaker 6: phone system works down now, it used to be get
Speaker 6: a live person and you could get your questions.
Speaker 1: You know what grind someone, they must Bill. You call
Speaker 1: back and we'll get you back on. Okay, we did
Speaker 1: not touch you off, Bill. Maybe that maybe those people
Speaker 1: got you up. If you call back and we will
Speaker 1: get you on Bill, that's for sure. The only line
Speaker 1: that is open right now is six one, seven thirty.
Speaker 1: So with a little bit of a false start between
Speaker 1: the this Bill coming back. Okay, if he's ready, let's
Speaker 1: put him right back on. Okay, Bill, I have no
Speaker 1: idea what happened there, Go right ahead. We lost him.
Speaker 6: That that was something in the sky. Dan, Hey, yeah,
Speaker 6: but no, it's it's like the phones.
Speaker 9: It used to be able to.
Speaker 6: You know, you'd call any organization or even the government
Speaker 6: offices or whatever. Now they put you you got to
Speaker 6: listen to this crazy new US, all right, And then
Speaker 6: and then they keep and then every now and then
Speaker 6: they'll say, well, if you want us to call you back,
Speaker 6: leave your number. And then you know, two days later,
Speaker 6: I think, damn, what didn't they call me back? And
Speaker 6: then you know, and well what I love.
Speaker 1: Too is that they'll they'll they'll come on and they'll
Speaker 1: they'll tell you what whatever you know, they want to
Speaker 1: tell you they'll pitch you or whatever to you know,
Speaker 1: thank you very much for calling. Please listen to our
Speaker 1: responses because it has recently changed. If you if you
Speaker 1: want to talk to the sales department, press one. If
Speaker 1: you if you want to talk to the transportation whatever.
Speaker 1: So they go through about seven of these and one
Speaker 1: of you saying, well, none of them really apply to
Speaker 1: what I want. So you kind of guessing, and then
Speaker 1: they put you on a thank you for calling. We
Speaker 1: value your business. Please stay on the line and you listen.
Speaker 6: You can spend you can spend hours on there, Dan
Speaker 6: and never never talk to a life.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you a trick, okay, which I have learned,
Speaker 1: and this is this is the best trick. And I
Speaker 1: am not I want to say right up front, I
Speaker 1: am not in senaphobic. I like people from anywhere in
Speaker 1: the world, but when I call with a problem, I
Speaker 1: would prefer to talk with an American. Okay, it's because
Speaker 1: I don't speak a second language. Okay.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 1: And what you can do when you get someone and
Speaker 1: you're calling whomever you're calling, you're calling, Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: know that they're even travel agents exist anymore. If you say,
Speaker 1: but but you call, may I speak, May I speak
Speaker 1: with an on shore representative?
Speaker 6: Oh, okay, on shore representative.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, do you remember the Saturday Night Live
Speaker 1: gag which is probably politically incorrect. Back in the old days,
Speaker 1: it was like there was one woman in India. She
Speaker 1: was dressed fully, you know, in traditional Indian garb, and
Speaker 1: you know she, you know, say, okay, pizza, the pizza
Speaker 1: is on the way, to be there in fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1: Then should hang up? The phone would hang up, and
Speaker 1: they say, yes, we can, we can book you for
Speaker 1: an oil change on Monday at three, okay. And it
Speaker 1: was if she was the only person that was answering
Speaker 1: the phone anywhere. Uh, you know, then everyone's wanted there
Speaker 1: throwing yes, the escort should arrive no later than seven o'clock.
Speaker 6: And then it's it's it's what I think I was
Speaker 6: just thinking about this today. It's it's systematic complacency. Okay,
Speaker 6: you get, you get. I mean, it seems like no
Speaker 6: matter where you go, people are just complacent about doing
Speaker 6: their job.
Speaker 1: No, you know what it is in my opinion, and
Speaker 1: I stand up and if people agree, feel free. You
Speaker 1: have these venture capital companies, okay, who basically decide to
Speaker 1: go in and they'll there's a whole bunch of well
Speaker 1: known companies. They'll they'll rip a company apart. And what
Speaker 1: they do is they try to consolidate. So instead of
Speaker 1: each company having somebody answering their phones when you call
Speaker 1: that company, you're dealing with some sort of a telephone
Speaker 1: center in Wyoming. You know, for example, if you try
Speaker 1: to call I don't know, do you do you get
Speaker 1: a daily newspaper at your home or no?
Speaker 6: No, no, I know I don't get any newspaper anymore. Dan,
Speaker 6: I skip around, Uh you know here and there on
Speaker 6: the on the TV and uh, okay, well if you.
Speaker 1: If you if you actually now subscribe to a newspaper, uh,
Speaker 1: and your newspaper is not delivered that morning. It used
Speaker 1: to be here in Boston. That that that you that
Speaker 1: the Boston Globe had their customer service people in Watertown, Massachusetts,
Speaker 1: which is a suburb of Boston, and you could explain
Speaker 1: to them, gee, I live on this street and uh
Speaker 1: and I didn't get you know, I'm close to this
Speaker 1: road or whatever. I didn't get my newspaper. Now you're
Speaker 1: going to deal with someone in the Philippines, and all
Speaker 1: they're doing is they're taking your information they're putting into
Speaker 1: a computer. And of course instead of paying somebody in Watertown, Massachusetts,
Speaker 1: fifteen or sixteen dollars an hour, they're paying someone in
Speaker 1: the Philippines substantially.
Speaker 5: That well, that was, that was.
Speaker 6: That was one of my first jobs. I remember, I said,
Speaker 6: in maybe uh sixth seventh grade and got the morning
Speaker 6: morning paper out. I think I had like fifty two
Speaker 6: papers to deliver. And I was telling somebody the other day,
Speaker 6: I said, well, we go collect the money, you know,
Speaker 6: we go to each house and we collect the money.
Speaker 6: And then I said, me and another paper boy, we'd
Speaker 6: put our tips together and go to the Golden Arches.
Speaker 6: And I said, and I said, we can get seven
Speaker 6: hamburgers for a buck.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: So one week one guy would eat four and the
Speaker 6: other guy would eat three. Next next time, I was
Speaker 6: swipping swift.
Speaker 1: Flipping around. All right, man, I hate to do this
Speaker 1: to your bill. I'm glad you called back, but I
Speaker 1: got going to keep rolling. Continue to call God bless you.
Speaker 1: YouTube coming right back nightside only line, Well, mine just failed.
Speaker 1: What grinds your gears? That's all we need to do.
Speaker 1: That's it. We're got full lines right now on a
Speaker 1: happy camp. We'll be back on night Side as we
Speaker 1: head toward Saturday morning. Now back to Dan ray Line
Speaker 1: from the Window World, Night six Studios on w b
Speaker 1: Z News Radio. All right, we're rolling, now, we've all
Speaker 1: we're all set. Let's go to Robert and Stoughton. Robert
Speaker 1: next on Nightside. What grind your gears?
Speaker 7: Robert, Well, Dan, it's well, we talk about the traffic.
Speaker 7: You know, people with that patient when they're gonna get
Speaker 7: the next light, you know, they cross you over and
Speaker 7: then they stuff by the next time. But the real
Speaker 7: thing that really that I think we've been talking about
Speaker 7: it the country. We need to come to the point
Speaker 7: that we all Americans the divide and we can't have
Speaker 7: people that a billionaire gave me the system, like Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Right away. You want you want to unite us, but
Speaker 1: I know that you don't like Donald real quickly. But
Speaker 1: this is this is what grinds your gears. But I
Speaker 1: want to ask your question, Robert, here's a question.
Speaker 10: One more thing you can't.
Speaker 1: I want you to answer my question, which is this,
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do if Donald Trump is elected president?
Speaker 11: But he wont me elected?
Speaker 1: That that solls it? Robert I'm with you, Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: now that's not gonna happen. So therefore everything's gonna be happy, right,
Speaker 1: We're gonna be in change.
Speaker 7: The didn't listen to me.
Speaker 10: Then when that guy said there's a black job, the
Speaker 10: la Latino job, Donald Trump don't want to be president.
Speaker 10: You even say yourself, a guy who wants to be president,
Speaker 10: you want to be president all the people. But when
Speaker 10: you call him this is a black job, Latino job,
Speaker 10: you know, and you know this kind of thing. That's
Speaker 10: what I'm saying, that like grind the country.
Speaker 1: Yeah, is I think what he was. I think and
Speaker 1: again the last thing I want to do in the
Speaker 1: twentieth hour. But I will say to you, I think
Speaker 1: when he was trying to say, if you take it
Speaker 1: in context, he was saying that when people were coming
Speaker 1: across the border, they were not taking jobs as corporate
Speaker 1: CEOs or CFOs, They weren't in what they call the
Speaker 1: C suite. They were taking jobs of people who were
Speaker 1: working blue collar jobs. Well, he was.
Speaker 7: Trying to make him up, but that's not that's not
Speaker 7: Donald doer.
Speaker 1: Okay, but it's good to know that he won't be elected.
Speaker 1: Robert and I still would love to know if somehow
Speaker 1: he's elected, are you gonna, you know, fall in line
Speaker 1: and say we all got to be together? Now I
Speaker 1: somehow think you won't.
Speaker 7: Well, he can't do it, then, don't you understand himself?
Speaker 1: Okay, Robert, thank you very much for your keen political insight.
Speaker 1: I do appreciate it at whatever you call. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much. Let's go to Glenn and Brighton. This is
Speaker 1: one of Glenn's favorite topics. Glenn I thought about you
Speaker 1: today and he said, we'll do this one for Glenn.
Speaker 5: Go ahead, buddy, Well it's not one of my favorite tups.
Speaker 5: That is my favorite tup.
Speaker 1: Okay, clarification, well.
Speaker 5: I hate to how do I do this for that
Speaker 5: last go is why I'm calling the people who hate Trump.
Speaker 5: They won't answer any question if you say I do
Speaker 5: this all the time, like what if he wins? Oh
Speaker 5: you won't win. I'm like, no, no, just work with
Speaker 5: me for a second.
Speaker 1: Indulge indulge me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, they won't do it. I mean I
Speaker 5: hate the unmitigated hatred. I mean, I know this hatred
Speaker 5: on both sides, but my god, Well and then.
Speaker 1: So that's what grinds you. That's what grinds your gears tonight.
Speaker 5: Well that I've actually got a thing that has to
Speaker 5: do with me as a blind person that grinds.
Speaker 1: My gears ahead, let's hear it. Let's hear it.
Speaker 5: And women do this more than man. Like when I
Speaker 5: get in the car, they won't ask me do you
Speaker 5: want your bag in front of you? Or they grab
Speaker 5: my bag and put it in the back seat. Now
Speaker 5: I have like my tie and all I have my seat,
Speaker 5: my inhalers, my cobD. I mean, I might need something
Speaker 5: in that bag, but they don't, you know, they they
Speaker 5: mean well, But and also when I'm walking, they'll grab
Speaker 5: my key, the end of my cane. They'll try to
Speaker 5: guide me by my cane.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I understand that people have to People are
Speaker 1: doing it. They think that they're doing the right thing.
Speaker 1: But we've talked about this before that if you want
Speaker 1: to try to help someone, if you see someone and
Speaker 1: I'm not blind, so if I'm wrong, you tell me
Speaker 1: the best way to do it is to approach the
Speaker 1: person and quietly say to them, can I be of
Speaker 1: any help?
Speaker 5: And that's right, you know.
Speaker 1: And if if the person, let's say, finds themselves at
Speaker 1: a street corner, and there's a mailbox and and and
Speaker 1: a street lamp, and they're trying to figure out which
Speaker 1: way forward, and but they're they're their cane is you know,
Speaker 1: they put themselves in a little bit of a box.
Speaker 1: The person might say, yeah, I'd appreciate it. Uh, And
Speaker 1: then you could do you mind if I take your on,
Speaker 1: let me let me get you past this. It's it's
Speaker 1: something we all should remember planning, insist so.
Speaker 5: And then sometimes I'm at the mailbox still try to
Speaker 5: grab my mail out of my hand, and I'm like no, no, no, no,
Speaker 5: you know, I'm like, no, I just show me. I mean,
Speaker 5: I just I'm looking for the thing to put it in. Yep.
Speaker 5: Because they changed them. He used to be able to
Speaker 5: open them. Now I call them loto a mailboxes.
Speaker 1: Well, the reason of that is that the people used
Speaker 1: to take What was happening was they were taking the
Speaker 1: two liter plastic empty uh you know, ginger ale or
Speaker 1: or coke or Pepsi bottles, putting Elmer's glue on them, uh,
Speaker 1: and then basically going fishing in the mailbox. And they
Speaker 1: dropped that in and they'd pull out some letters and
Speaker 1: if they found letters which had checks, that would.
Speaker 5: That would reason.
Speaker 1: What is that?
Speaker 5: Actually the reason that is exactly the reason.
Speaker 1: And what happened is they've come up with these chemicals
Speaker 1: where they can wash your check. So let's say, for example,
Speaker 1: Glenn wrote a check to his you know, to his
Speaker 1: electric company for one hundred and ten dollars and twenty cents.
Speaker 1: They can actually go in h and with this chemical
Speaker 1: they can eradicate how much money, you know, you wrote
Speaker 1: out one hundred, ten dollars and twenty cents, and then
Speaker 1: they go into the box where it says how much
Speaker 1: you wrote, you know, how much you're going to pay,
Speaker 1: and then they can put in you know, and they
Speaker 1: would eliminate that you were sending it to the national
Speaker 1: grid or to ever source or whatever. So they would
Speaker 1: put their own name on there. They put their own
Speaker 1: name on John Smith, and it would be you know,
Speaker 1: five twenty dollars. That's that's what's called check washing. And
Speaker 1: the government was forced to get rid of those what
Speaker 1: I would call them pulled down mailbox is the big
Speaker 1: ones with the handle, and now they have these slots.
Speaker 1: It's it's like trying to get a credit card in
Speaker 1: some of the credit card machines at the grocery store.
Speaker 1: You're trying to find where it is. And if you're blind,
Speaker 1: it's you're trying to feel it with your hand. And
Speaker 1: even when you're a sighted person, Glenn, it's tough to do. Glenn,
Speaker 1: I gotta keep.
Speaker 5: I'm glad you told me that, because everybody tells me.
Speaker 5: And had to do with Trump and Lewis to Joy
Speaker 5: and again the Trump haters, you.
Speaker 1: Know, no, that's exactly they used to take. They were
Speaker 1: taking they figured at first though, there was some that
Speaker 1: they've been sticking mailbox uh mail people, mail carriers, sticking
Speaker 1: them up and taking the key which which opens the
Speaker 1: bottom of the mailbox. But but as opposed to you know,
Speaker 1: having to get facing an armed robbery charge, they would
Speaker 1: go around at two o'clock in the morning. They would
Speaker 1: coat these these big you know, the two leader bottles
Speaker 1: of of whatever and their coded with Elmer's glue. Uh,
Speaker 1: drop it in the mailbox, shake it around a little bit,
Speaker 1: and then come out and they would go fishing.
Speaker 5: That's oh my god.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And so if they got if they got letters
Speaker 1: that had you know, we're just like a birthday card
Speaker 1: without any checks or or you know, a letter from someone.
Speaker 1: They just throw that away. They didn't care about that.
Speaker 1: They just wanted you know, if they pulled twenty twenty
Speaker 1: letters out and they got five checks, they were they
Speaker 1: were in business. That's it, trust me.
Speaker 5: Oh god, what a wonderful you got it plan.
Speaker 1: I gotta go man, talk to and have a great weekend. Okay,
Speaker 1: thank you to one of my favorite callers. We'll be
Speaker 1: right back on Night's I what grinds your gears? What
Speaker 1: grinds your gears? We want to know? Give us a call. Rob.

Speaker 1: Saturday morning, folks, hang on, coming back on Nightside. You're
Speaker 1: on night Side with Dan Ray on w Beazy, Boston's
Speaker 1: news radio.
Speaker 2: You know what really grinds Mike is this Lindsay low
Speaker 2: hand Man, Lindsay Lowhand with all those little outfits jumping
Speaker 2: around there on stage three two one, one, two three,

Speaker 1: Man on the tape tells me to say.
Speaker 2: Sorenday now and that, people, is what grinds my gears?
Speaker 1: Tom, what grinds your gears? That's Mike question for you.
Speaker 1: Let's go next to Katy and Arlington. Katy, welcome back tonight, said, how.
Speaker 5: Are you hi?
Speaker 7: Dan?
Speaker 12: Can you hear me?
Speaker 1: Okay, I can hear you? Just perfectly. One of the
Speaker 1: best phone lines of the night. As a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: you got a great.
Speaker 12: Absolutely, it's like a thousand dollars phone, and it grinds
Speaker 12: my gears when things don't work.
Speaker 1: It's work.
Speaker 12: I'm in Arlington, so yeah, I just I wasn't gonna
Speaker 12: call because I'm cleaning and I had a late dinner
Speaker 12: and everything. But the top of my list is any
Speaker 12: abuse of authority, just kind of general.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, when you give me the example, because when
Speaker 1: you say that's abuse off, but not abuse by You're
Speaker 1: saying abuse.
Speaker 12: Off right of authority by people in power like police
Speaker 12: or politicians.
Speaker 1: Oh I got it.
Speaker 12: Okay, fine, because my theory is diget high on power.
Speaker 12: Did you hear about the ship that just sunk in Italy?
Speaker 1: What an amazing tragic story that was.
Speaker 12: I'm not what, but you know what? Isn't there a
Speaker 12: how much money do you I'm not blaming anybody, and
Speaker 12: I'm not God, but how much money do you need?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 12: Daughter?
Speaker 1: Oh my god? Well, you know the backstory was apparently
Speaker 1: the guy but the guy that owned the ship, apparently
Speaker 1: it was British, and the British Bill Gates. He trial
Speaker 1: for fraud and he won, and so he had he
Speaker 1: brought his lawyer and his lawyer's wife and his family.
Speaker 1: And I've looked at this and and I I'm happy.
Speaker 1: I'm not happy to tell you. But the ship sank
Speaker 1: so quickly. There was hardly there were fifteen people who
Speaker 1: actually got off the ship.
Speaker 12: They don't know that though, I mean the kind of
Speaker 12: an air in the cabin.
Speaker 9: Sorry no, but.
Speaker 1: The theory now heard. The theory that I heard was
Speaker 1: that there was this storm came up and it was
Speaker 1: a sort of a water spout, almost like a little
Speaker 1: mini tornado. And then someone had left one of the
Speaker 1: doors open. There was a ship right next to it
Speaker 1: which did not sink, and someone on that ship, I
Speaker 1: think it was the first maid, said that they thought
Speaker 1: they might have seen a door open. So if all
Speaker 1: of a sudden you had water come in, you know,
Speaker 1: the ship just went down like a rock. They didn't
Speaker 1: have a chance.
Speaker 12: Was the only ship of this that was the tallest
Speaker 12: mast in the world. Really, yeah, but it's not I'm
Speaker 12: not judging anybody for being this rich, and I don't
Speaker 12: know she was as rich as bezos, but like, stop
Speaker 12: being a hypocrite. It's it's hypocritical for them to fly
Speaker 12: around on jets and these big ships that pollute go
Speaker 12: wherever they want, and they fly private jets, which if
Speaker 12: I could have my own private jet today, I would
Speaker 12: and I'm scared. And that's the fly But that's a
Speaker 12: whole other issue. Planes are the biggest polluter. And Elon
Speaker 12: Musk is all about space and all that stuff, but
Speaker 12: you know what, this Earth is the only earth we have,
Speaker 12: you know, And it's like, what.
Speaker 1: About John what about John Kerry who said that who
Speaker 1: probably flies more private than anybody.
Speaker 12: I cannounderstand him. Was he there last night?
Speaker 1: No? No, no, no no he was not on the ship.
Speaker 9: No no, no, no Warren.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 6: I mean as a convention, I don't think so.
Speaker 12: I never saw at the convention. The convention then he
Speaker 12: and Elizabeth Warren was bad enough because she's a hip
Speaker 12: crid as well. I mean she's very wealthy.
Speaker 1: Did you see did you see the Blobe story about
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren that that her ancestors owned fourteen slaves.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, the ones with the high cheekbones.
Speaker 1: Right, but yeah, Hey, Katie, love your calls.
Speaker 5: We got to go.
Speaker 1: We will talk soon. You have a great weekend. Where'd
Speaker 1: you go to dinner tonight? How where'd you go to dinner? Anywhere?
Speaker 5: Good?
Speaker 1: One to give you.
Speaker 12: Bacon Joe's delivery by Uber Eats in a half an hour.
Speaker 12: It was amazing.
Speaker 1: Is that? Is that a local restaurant in Arlington?
Speaker 12: It's a chain. It's in Waltham, Waltham.
Speaker 1: Good for you, Good for you.
Speaker 12: But Uber Eats I can't say enough. They're a really
Speaker 12: good company.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 12: I'm a delivery vibe, not for fat X, not for
Speaker 12: Uber Okay, have a great weekend.
Speaker 1: Thanks, talk soon. Let me go to Linda in Quincy. Linda,
Speaker 1: what grinds your gears?
Speaker 5: Hi?
Speaker 1: How are you?
Speaker 8: Okay?
Speaker 5: Okay?
Speaker 8: How you doing?
Speaker 1: I think I'm doing fine. We're getting to it.
Speaker 4: Right right.
Speaker 8: Let's see for me. Well, there's a few things, but
Speaker 8: I'm going to mention the fact that how about I
Speaker 8: don't know if this ever happens to you, but when
Speaker 8: you buy something like clothing, you walking on TJ Max,
Speaker 8: you get a little you need a little six pack
Speaker 8: of like socks for the summer, like a little champion,
Speaker 8: a little small sock.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, sure, the ankle I call them anklet socks, right, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8: Something like that. Or it could be for a girl.
Speaker 8: It could be a hat in the winter, one of
Speaker 8: those little wool caps or something. You get it home
Speaker 8: and there's probably three plastic things holding it, holding the
Speaker 8: tag on, and it's just this, there's all these places
Speaker 8: to try to cut to get get it without ripping
Speaker 8: the sock, without cutting the sock. And I stand and
Speaker 8: I go, what is this thing? Like ten thousand dollars
Speaker 8: You've got to It's like you think it was a
Speaker 8: leather jacket. Remember the days i'd chain them to.
Speaker 6: The oh yeah, yeah, the thing and you try and
Speaker 6: try it on, you're dragon and you can't see yourself.
Speaker 1: Yeah. What about when you when you buy something and
Speaker 1: they forget to take the alarm, uh and you're walking
Speaker 1: out the door and office, what's going on here? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and all of embarrassed.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I've experienced that ages. But this business where I'm
Speaker 8: whenever I'm like I said, when I'm getting something and
Speaker 8: I'm trying to get the scissors and you don't want
Speaker 8: to cut it. If if you don't cut it right,
Speaker 8: you're gonna cut the whole thing open, and you're going
Speaker 8: to ruin the thing you have. So I don't think
Speaker 8: they need that many Why is on something that was
Speaker 8: five bucks or six bucks or any anything? Really fact
Speaker 8: that I ever heard that.
Speaker 1: Mentioned before, But I had that feeling sometimes when all
Speaker 1: of a sudden you have to You're trying to say, well,
Speaker 1: how do I cut this thing off here? Either cutting
Speaker 1: my finger off or slicing slicing the item in two?
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone has ever brought that up, But
Speaker 1: that is a legitimate grind your gears.
Speaker 8: It is, And I agree with the man about the representatives,
Speaker 8: I call them low talkers or foreign I just can't
Speaker 8: make it out, and they'll be saying something. I'll keep saying,
Speaker 8: excuse me. I just keep excuse me. Yeah, to hear
Speaker 8: what they ask.
Speaker 1: For in the future. If you if you say it's
Speaker 1: like the magic word, I would like to speak with
Speaker 1: an Onshore representative.
Speaker 3: Oh really, yes, yes, I've done.
Speaker 1: That several times. And you know the person who answers
Speaker 1: the phone. First of all, it's an open phone line.
Speaker 1: You know that it's not in the US, and the
Speaker 1: person hello, and you know right away that this is
Speaker 1: somebody from with a different country, different dialect. I'm nothing
Speaker 1: against them. I can't speak their language. Maybe they they're
Speaker 1: trying their best, but it's like I don't want to
Speaker 1: spend a half an hour or trying to spell words.
Speaker 1: I just say, may I speak with an Onshore representative.
Speaker 1: And I've had great success with that tactic.
Speaker 8: I'll try that with that. But it also happens even
Speaker 8: if you're talking about doctor's office. Sometimes and the person
Speaker 8: just starts talking real low and you can't I can't
Speaker 8: make out, and they keep doing it.
Speaker 1: So what they do is a lot of times they're
Speaker 1: on headsets. So I'm on a headset right now.
Speaker 8: Okay, okay, but so you could.
Speaker 1: Hear me perfectly. But if I move the I'm unlike
Speaker 1: one of those headsets that you see on the football
Speaker 1: sideline of a game. But if I move the headset,
Speaker 1: all of a sudd I'm gonna move the headset real quickly. Now,
Speaker 1: now you don't hear me nearly start. So what happens
Speaker 1: is they've been doing it and they move it, and
Speaker 1: you know, and they say I can't hear you.
Speaker 8: Oh okay, and then I'm always like, excuse me, excuse me,
Speaker 8: excuse you.
Speaker 1: Got it. You gotta live the good two good ones.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Thank you a great weekend. Okay,
Speaker 1: yes you too, talk to you soon. We will be
Speaker 1: right back going the night Side. We have only one
Speaker 1: line open six one seven ninety three one ten thirty. No,
Speaker 1: it's two. It's six one seven two five four to
Speaker 1: ten thirty. My mistake rata in Latin, which means era
Speaker 1: six one seven two five four ten thirty. That's the
Speaker 1: only line that's opened back on night Side right after this.
Speaker 1: Now back to Dan Ray Live from the Window World Nightside, studios.
Speaker 1: I'm WBZ News Radio. We have pack lines every one,
Speaker 1: so I'm going to try to get everyone in. Please
Speaker 1: stay with me and try to be as quick as
Speaker 1: you can. Joe and Lynn, Joe, what grinds your gears?
Speaker 13: Oh boy, You're gonna be shocked. But I want to
Speaker 13: say I'm Glenn's official log clear and I know what
Speaker 13: he goes through. We talk about it. He's got to
Speaker 13: be a little more aggressive. But okay, here's it's going
Speaker 13: to shock you. And I try that offshore thing. Sometimes
Speaker 13: it works on shore, sometime it doesn't.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 13: One of the things that grinds my gears, I'm that
Speaker 13: thing is to be mean. Is getting help with a
Speaker 13: personal problem. And you know what it is, it's a restaurant.
Speaker 13: I called lawyers, and I've called all around and I'm
Speaker 13: getting nowhere. No one knows who can take this kind
Speaker 13: of a case. It's very simple. I just wish that
Speaker 13: you and some of the other people. You know, it
Speaker 13: seems like to be a little more sympathetic because I
Speaker 13: can't keep going to Peabody or Danvers. Like Glenn says
Speaker 13: to me, you know, I'm right near a restaurant, but
Speaker 13: you're he he can go to his but you know
Speaker 13: he comes.
Speaker 1: Joe, Here's what I'll do. Okay, if there's any lawyer
Speaker 1: who wants to take on a disability law case and
Speaker 1: they want to call me next week, uh, they can
Speaker 1: call me at WBZ and I will pass on their
Speaker 1: number to you. I've asked you. I suggested to you
Speaker 1: that you call the Massachusetts Boss, which normally is very
Speaker 1: good in terms of finding lawyers who will take a
Speaker 1: case based upon the geography.
Speaker 13: But again, they put me on hold for two hours.
Speaker 1: Well I can't believe that. I believe that what you
Speaker 1: told me. But that seems to me to be ridiculous.
Speaker 1: And I think you should call them back. And you
Speaker 1: just say, look, please don't put me on hold.
Speaker 13: I'm getting a recording, Dan, no more human beings like
Speaker 13: you were talking about earlier. The recording says call back later,
Speaker 13: wait for call back. I hate these recordings. They should
Speaker 13: get rid of them.
Speaker 1: Joe as upset to you. You have time in your hands, okay,
Speaker 1: time to take your case. Okay. I do not take
Speaker 1: cases of callers to Night's side. But if there is
Speaker 1: a lawyer out there who wants to deal with a
Speaker 1: disability law case, out of Lynn in the in the
Speaker 1: North Shore area. Call me during the week next week
Speaker 1: and we will try to see if we can get
Speaker 1: that person in touch with you. Fair enough.
Speaker 13: I wanted to thank you. I wanted to say, but
Speaker 13: Glenn should just tell them let me take your arm
Speaker 13: because they grab They've done that to me. I say, no,
Speaker 13: leck o my bag please?
Speaker 1: All right? Fair enough, Joe. I got to keep rolling
Speaker 1: here because they got pack lines and hopefully we sure
Speaker 1: who deals with disability law cases. I can explain to
Speaker 1: them when they call me. If I get them to you,
Speaker 1: I will, I promise.
Speaker 13: Okay, thank you, by a great night.
Speaker 1: Let's keep rolling here. I try to help as many
Speaker 1: people as I can, but sometimes it's impossible. John Is
