WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:06.360
<v Speaker 1>It's nice with Dan Ray undoing you Crazy Boston's News Radio.

2
00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:09.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, let me just recap for those of you who

3
00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:12.400
<v Speaker 2>have not been with us throughout the evening. We started

4
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:15.320
<v Speaker 2>off tonight and really talked with four interesting guests. In

5
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:18.760
<v Speaker 2>the first hour. We talked with a historian Jay L.

6
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Bell about President's Day and his President's Day and the

7
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:27.480
<v Speaker 2>story of the canons that the British troops went after

8
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:33.880
<v Speaker 2>in seventeen seventy five and the efforts that followed upon

9
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:40.479
<v Speaker 2>that of then George Washington, who was not president, coming

10
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:42.119
<v Speaker 2>to Massachusetts.

11
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:43.159
<v Speaker 3>J L.

12
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:47.920
<v Speaker 2>Bell will be doing a presentation on this in Cambridge,

13
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:51.359
<v Speaker 2>and if you missed the eight o'clock I he's one

14
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:53.840
<v Speaker 2>of the really interesting guests. We talked with Norman Smith,

15
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 2>the rapto specialists of the mass Audubonne Society about these

16
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:05.799
<v Speaker 2>beautiful full Arctic owls that at this time of year

17
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:11.519
<v Speaker 2>literally migrate south. Uh. They it's it's to me, it's

18
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:16.159
<v Speaker 2>just an amazing to see these owls have actually seen.

19
00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:21.079
<v Speaker 2>Uh the owls that that I'm referring to there, they're beautiful,

20
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:25.719
<v Speaker 2>they are they are white. Uh, they stand out in

21
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:29.760
<v Speaker 2>the wintertime called snowy Arctic snowy owls. Then we also

22
00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:34.680
<v Speaker 2>talked about food with a chef Laura Kline from a

23
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:39.640
<v Speaker 2>very interesting uh background. She has a very interesting website.

24
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:42.079
<v Speaker 2>And talk with Joe Dean, a captain of a book

25
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.920
<v Speaker 2>of a boat called the Red Rum.

26
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:45.560
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

27
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:51.599
<v Speaker 2>They harp their harpoon hunters. They they they hunt bluefin tuna,

28
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:55.560
<v Speaker 2>which is extraordinary and else it does work on a

29
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:58.120
<v Speaker 2>with a foundation of children with a rare disease. All

30
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:02.079
<v Speaker 2>in the eight o'clock hour. Then we talked in the

31
00:02:02.319 --> 00:02:05.079
<v Speaker 2>nine o'clock hour with one of my favorite guests, Professor

32
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:10.120
<v Speaker 2>Jeff Myron of Harvard University, and talked about the debt

33
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:13.000
<v Speaker 2>that we as a country have run up. It's getting

34
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:17.360
<v Speaker 2>close to thirty seven trillion dollars. That was an extraordinary hour.

35
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:20.680
<v Speaker 2>We will use that hour next Sunday night on best

36
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:22.960
<v Speaker 2>of NIGHTSI because I can't think of an hour that

37
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:24.719
<v Speaker 2>we could do that would be better than that. This

38
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.240
<v Speaker 2>week and the last hour we talked about weather here

39
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:30.080
<v Speaker 2>in New England, and I'd like to continue talking about

40
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:32.759
<v Speaker 2>that this hour if you would. We'll get to some

41
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 2>of the more I guess contentious topics as the week

42
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.800
<v Speaker 2>goes on, but it is just extraordinarily cold here in

43
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.319
<v Speaker 2>New England. It's been extraordinarily cold now for weeks. The

44
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:46.520
<v Speaker 2>month of February has been I think the coldest February

45
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:49.560
<v Speaker 2>I've ever experienced, at least that I can ever remember.

46
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.240
<v Speaker 2>And I'd love to know what your recollection is as well,

47
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:55.199
<v Speaker 2>and love to know how you are putting up with

48
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:59.719
<v Speaker 2>this exceedingly cold month of February. We had snow and

49
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:06.159
<v Speaker 2>sleep yesterday and the surfaces of most people's homes and driveways.

50
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:10.960
<v Speaker 2>I was out yesterday trying to take advantage of the

51
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:18.400
<v Speaker 2>rain and basically cause I guess what I call little riverlets,

52
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:22.840
<v Speaker 2>if you will, small little motions of water to break

53
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:25.919
<v Speaker 2>up ice. And it worked a little bit, but then

54
00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:27.919
<v Speaker 2>of course it all froze overnight. So let's go back

55
00:03:27.960 --> 00:03:30.400
<v Speaker 2>to phone calls and let's keep it rolling here. And

56
00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:33.120
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to continue this for the balance of the

57
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:36.960
<v Speaker 2>night and just have a nice, easy President Day's night

58
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:41.360
<v Speaker 2>here on Nightside. Alice is in Beverly, Alice, welcome back

59
00:03:41.400 --> 00:03:45.159
<v Speaker 2>to night Side. Your thoughts on our weather pattern which

60
00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:46.360
<v Speaker 2>we seem to be stuck in.

61
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:51.439
<v Speaker 5>Alice, Oh, Dan, I'm absolutely freezing. The thing that's getting

62
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:55.280
<v Speaker 5>me is the ice now. I think I mentioned on

63
00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:58.840
<v Speaker 5>January twenty first, I slipped on the ice and I

64
00:03:58.840 --> 00:03:59.919
<v Speaker 5>have a fraction to tell.

65
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:00.520
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

66
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:04.360
<v Speaker 5>So I have been I have been housebound. I don't

67
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:06.599
<v Speaker 5>think I'm going to go out till the spring whenever

68
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:07.400
<v Speaker 5>that happens.

69
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:11.080
<v Speaker 2>So when you say you fractured your patella, how bad

70
00:04:12.039 --> 00:04:15.680
<v Speaker 2>is it a hairline fracture or did you actually did

71
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:17.240
<v Speaker 2>the did the bone bifurcate?

72
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:23.319
<v Speaker 5>Well, well, it's it's actually well bifurcated. But but I

73
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:25.800
<v Speaker 5>don't have to have surgery. But I'm in this grace.

74
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:28.600
<v Speaker 5>It doesn't really work, but I have to keep my

75
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:31.839
<v Speaker 5>legs straight, perfectly straight for.

76
00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:34.839
<v Speaker 2>Like, so are they are they hoping? Are they hoping

77
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:39.680
<v Speaker 2>that over time, without surgery, the bone will will re

78
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:40.879
<v Speaker 2>reform or re knit.

79
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:46.279
<v Speaker 5>Well, little, it'll attached just like like like I guess

80
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:48.000
<v Speaker 5>in the olden days, they would put you in a

81
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:51.839
<v Speaker 5>cast and that would be you'd go you'd go crazy if.

82
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:53.600
<v Speaker 7>Your whole leg was in a cast.

83
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:57.720
<v Speaker 5>But it was like today, I was I was going

84
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:02.199
<v Speaker 5>absolutely nuts and I was just praying, understanding, God, I

85
00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:05.560
<v Speaker 5>know that you care about me. And I start to

86
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:08.079
<v Speaker 5>think about the people like to have the fires and

87
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:11.199
<v Speaker 5>all this other stuff can't be that there. This isn't

88
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:13.720
<v Speaker 5>the worst thing in the world. And then all of

89
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.360
<v Speaker 5>a sudden, I mean, out of a clear blue the

90
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:20.319
<v Speaker 5>guy at the orthopedic office called me. He said he

91
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:23.720
<v Speaker 5>was thinking about me, and he said, I just really

92
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.439
<v Speaker 5>was thinking about how horrible this mussed be for you

93
00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:29.680
<v Speaker 5>because the brace doesn't work, and we're asking you to

94
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:33.040
<v Speaker 5>keep your legs straight, but the brace doesn't stay up.

95
00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:36.240
<v Speaker 5>So he just said, I think that I have something

96
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.480
<v Speaker 5>else so of work for you. I go, I can't

97
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:41.720
<v Speaker 5>believe it, Joe, that you just thought about me and

98
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:44.480
<v Speaker 5>decided to call me when I felt like not that

99
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:52.160
<v Speaker 5>I was going to, you know, jump off the bridge, but.

100
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:50.319
<v Speaker 6>But it was.

101
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:53.560
<v Speaker 5>It was awful. But like when you're talking about the weather,

102
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:56.000
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I do go by the window and I

103
00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:58.879
<v Speaker 5>look out, and I said, I don't know if I

104
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:02.240
<v Speaker 5>ever want to go out again, because you have this fear,

105
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:04.920
<v Speaker 5>you know, of slipping on the ice.

106
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:11.160
<v Speaker 2>I will tell you I've had some extended, I should say,

107
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:18.360
<v Speaker 2>attenuated experience. My brother fractured his patella last June and

108
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:24.759
<v Speaker 2>he had to have surgery and it's a long recovery

109
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:28.079
<v Speaker 2>and it's only now getting to the point where it

110
00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:33.600
<v Speaker 2>is recovering. So, boy, I wish you. It sounds to

111
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:36.199
<v Speaker 2>me like you might have lucked out because he he

112
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:40.959
<v Speaker 2>actually the kneecap split and he had to get actual,

113
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:45.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, surgery and then recovery and rehabilitation, and hopefully

114
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.439
<v Speaker 2>yours is going to be a little less problematic.

115
00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:53.959
<v Speaker 5>Well, I better not have surgery, because I said, my

116
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:57.279
<v Speaker 5>dance card is full. I have had I've had both

117
00:06:57.319 --> 00:07:00.399
<v Speaker 5>my knees replaced. And so some of the Oh I

118
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:03.560
<v Speaker 5>thought you had your knees to replace, how come you

119
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:04.600
<v Speaker 5>because they leave that.

120
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh, so I did not realize that. So the so

121
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:14.959
<v Speaker 2>the the the new mechanical knee still has a your actual.

122
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:19.639
<v Speaker 6>Potlio Yeah, yeah, well.

123
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:23.639
<v Speaker 2>Please please please please be careful and hopefully whatever you

124
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:26.639
<v Speaker 2>have to do, you can get back to it. And uh,

125
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:32.879
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, look, run the risk here of slipping

126
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:36.079
<v Speaker 2>and sliding, and and I'm sure that there are people

127
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:40.360
<v Speaker 2>today who slipped and slid and hurt themselves. It's it's

128
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:42.879
<v Speaker 2>been a miserable month of February. And I still am

129
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:46.160
<v Speaker 2>hoping that someone can grab a farm, an old farmer's

130
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:49.040
<v Speaker 2>almanac or a pharma's almanac, whatever they call it. These

131
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.079
<v Speaker 2>days and tell me what it says for New England

132
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:54.959
<v Speaker 2>in February, because if if they missed it, if if

133
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:58.879
<v Speaker 2>they said, oh, you know, a typical February, but it's

134
00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.319
<v Speaker 2>going to start to warm up towards the middle of

135
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:06.120
<v Speaker 2>the month as spring nears, then I'll never have faith

136
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:07.560
<v Speaker 2>in the Farmers Almanac.

137
00:08:07.639 --> 00:08:11.199
<v Speaker 5>Again, do you believe in that?

138
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:14.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean no, I don't believe in that. I don't

139
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:17.040
<v Speaker 2>believe in it, per se. I think it's fun to read,

140
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:21.279
<v Speaker 2>but your long they have a tough time forecasting the

141
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:24.279
<v Speaker 2>weather three days at advance, never mind a year.

142
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:30.360
<v Speaker 5>Just like just like the what's his name, Punkture Johnny

143
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:32.200
<v Speaker 5>phil Oh, yeah, well.

144
00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:37.639
<v Speaker 2>That's that's a you know, I've listened. Someone said that

145
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:40.799
<v Speaker 2>he's wrong like seventy eight percent of the time or

146
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:44.000
<v Speaker 2>something like that, which I don't say. If he sees

147
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:46.720
<v Speaker 2>his shadow, that means more winter. If he doesn't see

148
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:49.799
<v Speaker 2>his shadow, that seems opposite. If he sees his shadow,

149
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:52.399
<v Speaker 2>the sun might be out. I think that's all like

150
00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.240
<v Speaker 2>the chamber, that's the chamber of commerce, and it's it's

151
00:08:56.279 --> 00:08:58.799
<v Speaker 2>like when you read your horoscopes. You ever read your

152
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:02.480
<v Speaker 2>horoscope in the paper, and it's you know today will

153
00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:05.720
<v Speaker 2>be a day of great opportunity. There will be some

154
00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:10.120
<v Speaker 2>chances for you to take advantage of, so be aware

155
00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:13.000
<v Speaker 2>and be on the lookout for for good things today.

156
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.279
<v Speaker 2>It never says to you, stay in bed, this is

157
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:18.480
<v Speaker 2>gonna be the worst day of your life. It's always

158
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:23.360
<v Speaker 2>very kind of upbeat or romance. Good wash them today.

159
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:25.720
<v Speaker 2>You never know who you might meet in the street.

160
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:28.840
<v Speaker 2>Maybe it's an old flame, but but today, keep your

161
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:29.639
<v Speaker 2>eyes open.

162
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:34.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you know, did I think about you with stuff

163
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:36.399
<v Speaker 5>like that? Because about the Red Sox do you think

164
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:40.440
<v Speaker 5>do you ever ready? How are we gonna do? Are

165
00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:41.080
<v Speaker 5>the Red shows?

166
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:41.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

167
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:46.120
<v Speaker 2>I think? I think the signing of Bregman is great.

168
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:48.799
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he's he is a really good player. But

169
00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:51.080
<v Speaker 2>now they have a little bit of a controversy because

170
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:54.240
<v Speaker 2>Raffie Devers apparently does not want to be a d H.

171
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:57.600
<v Speaker 5>I know, did you hear Alli just said you're gonna

172
00:09:57.639 --> 00:09:57.799
<v Speaker 5>do it?

173
00:09:58.120 --> 00:09:58.480
<v Speaker 6>DH?

174
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:03.000
<v Speaker 2>No, No, he's very clear. It was Dan Shaughnessy who

175
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:05.720
<v Speaker 2>was asking him the questions. And you know, it's funny

176
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.759
<v Speaker 2>in the old days, In the old days, before twenty eighteen,

177
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:13.360
<v Speaker 2>you'd have all three major TV stations down there covering it.

178
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:16.559
<v Speaker 2>You know, you know, Dan Roach should be down there

179
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:20.279
<v Speaker 2>from Channel four and you know whoever it was at

180
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Channel seven and the old days would be John Dennis

181
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:26.840
<v Speaker 2>or whatever, and I'm dating myself there and Channel five

182
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:31.080
<v Speaker 2>would have Duke stig leone. Channel five I think was

183
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.840
<v Speaker 2>the only station down there last week when when Bregman

184
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.600
<v Speaker 2>was signed. So, you know, I feel that the Red

185
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:40.240
<v Speaker 2>Sox have been kind of downplayed. And look, they were

186
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:43.679
<v Speaker 2>eighty one and eighty one last year with with not

187
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:49.080
<v Speaker 2>a great team, and they you win ninety games or

188
00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:50.960
<v Speaker 2>in the playoffs, they don't have to win that many

189
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:56.919
<v Speaker 2>more games, more games than last year. I like they

190
00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:58.759
<v Speaker 2>had a pitcher who came up later they picked up

191
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:02.720
<v Speaker 2>from the Yankees, Richard fitz He he got I think

192
00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:05.919
<v Speaker 2>it was three or four starts and he he pitched

193
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.159
<v Speaker 2>really well. I didn't win a game, he was all

194
00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:10.720
<v Speaker 2>and one, but but he kept in. The Red Sox

195
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:13.840
<v Speaker 2>just didn't hit for him. So they got they improved

196
00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:18.919
<v Speaker 2>their pitching staff. Uh, their bullpen looks better, you know.

197
00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:22.279
<v Speaker 2>Kenley Jansen's now with the with the Dodgers. Yeah, I'm

198
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:26.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm bullish in the Red Sox this year. I really am.

199
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:28.279
<v Speaker 5>He and I hope that I want to go up

200
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:32.639
<v Speaker 5>to Worcester. Now, your son does something up there, doesn't

201
00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:35.559
<v Speaker 5>He isn't in charge of the start.

202
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:37.440
<v Speaker 2>For many years, he was the general manager of the

203
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:40.840
<v Speaker 2>past Socks and the Red Sox. That team has been

204
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:45.720
<v Speaker 2>purchased now by a venture a private equity company. Uh.

205
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:50.159
<v Speaker 2>And he has moved on to another position outside of baseball.

206
00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:53.960
<v Speaker 2>But you know the poll he was very much involved

207
00:11:54.000 --> 00:11:57.360
<v Speaker 2>for Well. He was the general manager. Uh, worked for

208
00:11:57.440 --> 00:11:59.919
<v Speaker 2>Larry Lukeino and Larry passed away last spring. And she

209
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:05.279
<v Speaker 2>know about the same time that this venture capital company

210
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:12.480
<v Speaker 2>bought to wors Well. He was at He was the

211
00:12:12.480 --> 00:12:14.919
<v Speaker 2>general manager at Worcester, and then when the venture capital

212
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:19.200
<v Speaker 2>company came in, Uh, they promoted him to a vice

213
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:20.879
<v Speaker 2>president of real estate development.

214
00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:21.720
<v Speaker 3>UH.

215
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:24.159
<v Speaker 2>And I just think that he felt that there was

216
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:26.440
<v Speaker 2>not going to be as much of an opportunity with

217
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:30.759
<v Speaker 2>the venture capital company as there was with Larry Lucino.

218
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:33.159
<v Speaker 2>He had worked he had worked for for Larry when

219
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:35.360
<v Speaker 2>they were with the Red Sox together, and went with

220
00:12:35.440 --> 00:12:40.440
<v Speaker 2>Larry to Protucket and then was instrumental in persuading Larry

221
00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:46.320
<v Speaker 2>that that the days in Patucket. You know, the politicians

222
00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:49.399
<v Speaker 2>in Rhode Island were difficult for the pass Socks to

223
00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:52.759
<v Speaker 2>work with. They wanted to rehabilitate McCoy Stadium, but the

224
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:57.320
<v Speaker 2>politicians were not cooperative, and Worcester stepped forward. Uh and

225
00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:01.799
<v Speaker 2>then Mayor at Augustus was very into rested, and Lieutenant

226
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.879
<v Speaker 2>Governor Palito and Charlie Baker who was the governor, they

227
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:08.000
<v Speaker 2>were very supportive and they stole the poss Socks for

228
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:10.679
<v Speaker 2>Rhode Island. That's the real story there. To be honest

229
00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:12.840
<v Speaker 2>with you, Alice, I'm up on my break. I gotta

230
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:15.080
<v Speaker 2>let you run. I love talking with you. Be better,

231
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:20.480
<v Speaker 2>get better soon. Okay, thanks, thanks, thanks night. Okay. We

232
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:23.000
<v Speaker 2>got one line at six one seven two four thirty

233
00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:25.919
<v Speaker 2>and two at six one seven nine three thirty. If

234
00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:29.799
<v Speaker 2>anybody's got an old farmer's almanac out there, meaning a

235
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:32.039
<v Speaker 2>current one, I'd love to know what they say about

236
00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:33.919
<v Speaker 2>the weather here in New England, because it's been a

237
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:36.919
<v Speaker 2>bitterly cold month. I'm ready to complain about it. I

238
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:39.799
<v Speaker 2>hope you are too. Just remember in New England, when

239
00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:42.360
<v Speaker 2>you complain about things, you feel better. So let's all

240
00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:44.519
<v Speaker 2>feel better. Jump on board back after this.

241
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Now, back to Dan ray line from the window World

242
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:53.879
<v Speaker 1>of Nice Sight studios on WBZ News Radio.

243
00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:56.519
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's keep it rolling. We go to Glenn

244
00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:58.559
<v Speaker 2>and Brighton, Glenn, welcome back. How are you, Sarah? A

245
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:01.000
<v Speaker 2>little chilly out there in bright tonight, I'll bet.

246
00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:05.639
<v Speaker 3>You, uh yeah. The reason I'm calling I told to

247
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:10.039
<v Speaker 3>see a producers in the substitute. I told, is this

248
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:13.799
<v Speaker 3>the wind this winter river or the windiest winter river.

249
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:14.639
<v Speaker 3>There's a difference.

250
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:20.519
<v Speaker 2>I think maybe both could be both. Glenn with the wind,

251
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:24.919
<v Speaker 2>the temperatures twenty and with the wind forty fifty miles

252
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:27.080
<v Speaker 2>an hour, it feels like it's below zero.

253
00:14:27.399 --> 00:14:29.519
<v Speaker 3>So that's my feeling.

254
00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:32.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm not an expert. We had Isaac Longley from accu

255
00:14:32.679 --> 00:14:33.519
<v Speaker 2>weather on last year.

256
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:34.759
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if you heard him or not, but

257
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:35.440
<v Speaker 3>yeah I did.

258
00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:39.360
<v Speaker 2>It was just, you know, it's crazy, it's crazy, what

259
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:43.600
<v Speaker 2>you what we're dealing with. And I still hope that

260
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.080
<v Speaker 2>someone out there has an old farmer's almanac who can

261
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:49.159
<v Speaker 2>tell me, I know what they predicted for this February.

262
00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:51.480
<v Speaker 2>You know that goes on sale like in the summertime,

263
00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:54.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, for the next winter. And I would love

264
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:56.799
<v Speaker 2>to know if they were accurate. Let's give them credit.

265
00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:59.879
<v Speaker 2>If they weren't accurate. Let's give them some.

266
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:02.799
<v Speaker 3>I know, well, I don't think faith. I'm the one

267
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:05.399
<v Speaker 3>got to talk to. I have no faith in the

268
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:08.960
<v Speaker 3>farmer's home. Like you say, we can't predict weather four

269
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:11.600
<v Speaker 3>days ahead, We're going to predict weather a year ahead.

270
00:15:12.039 --> 00:15:14.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, I know what. But it's it's fun, you know,

271
00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:15.000
<v Speaker 2>to read it.

272
00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:17.240
<v Speaker 3>Then you say, you know when you're really young, said

273
00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:20.000
<v Speaker 3>Tony Phil It's something to do. It is.

274
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:22.600
<v Speaker 2>And it's also like during the look during the fall,

275
00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:25.279
<v Speaker 2>there are a whole bunch of things where they say

276
00:15:25.519 --> 00:15:29.480
<v Speaker 2>if the squirrels you're gathering nuts and and and you

277
00:15:29.519 --> 00:15:32.200
<v Speaker 2>know early, or if they got a lot of fur.

278
00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:34.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, there are all these they kind of like

279
00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:37.600
<v Speaker 2>what you call you know, I guess theories that.

280
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:40.519
<v Speaker 3>Well, it may or may not work, but I was hoping.

281
00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:43.639
<v Speaker 3>I was hoping. I'm almost as much time as the

282
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:45.799
<v Speaker 3>last colony because I have quite a bit to say

283
00:15:45.840 --> 00:15:50.840
<v Speaker 3>on the weather ahead. Keep going going, well, it started

284
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:53.919
<v Speaker 3>after Christmas. I just noticed I'll put on bezy and

285
00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:56.919
<v Speaker 3>I'll hear Emma Freeman say it's thirty two degrees potential,

286
00:15:57.000 --> 00:16:00.159
<v Speaker 3>say the wind who is nineteen and this is in

287
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:05.000
<v Speaker 3>the day. So I want I just I don't ever

288
00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:09.960
<v Speaker 3>recall the wind show being this persistent. Now I was yesterday.

289
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:13.720
<v Speaker 3>I had the pressure of going to Coppo's restaurant myself

290
00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:20.799
<v Speaker 3>in Boston on West Broadway, and John John Russo was there.

291
00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:23.440
<v Speaker 3>He was in the Godfather. He was an actor. He's

292
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:26.399
<v Speaker 3>eighty two. He told us his wife's story. He says,

293
00:16:26.440 --> 00:16:30.480
<v Speaker 3>I can't believe anybody showed up in this weather, and

294
00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:31.759
<v Speaker 3>I we eat it.

295
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:36.240
<v Speaker 2>Was he like a featured speaker or something there?

296
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:39.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, yeah, he was a guest speaker.

297
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Oh good, okay, yeah, he was in the garden. What

298
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:47.080
<v Speaker 2>role was it? What was what role did he play

299
00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:47.759
<v Speaker 2>in The Godfather?

300
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:50.240
<v Speaker 3>You know? He told me, and I can't remember. I

301
00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:53.679
<v Speaker 3>was too busy drinking my chardon eye, but that's.

302
00:16:56.399 --> 00:16:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay. He kind of was w So you you braved,

303
00:16:59.559 --> 00:17:02.360
<v Speaker 2>you brave the weather yesterday to do that, which is good.

304
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:03.240
<v Speaker 2>That's a good thing.

305
00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:06.720
<v Speaker 3>Well that's new Englanders. I mean eight inches of snow.

306
00:17:06.880 --> 00:17:10.319
<v Speaker 3>I mean I remember two years ago we had a

307
00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:12.680
<v Speaker 3>blizard on a weekend. It was like no, actually it

308
00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:14.720
<v Speaker 3>was twenty twenty two. It was three years ago. It

309
00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:15.920
<v Speaker 3>was the late January we had.

310
00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:18.599
<v Speaker 2>We've had a couple of real easy winters. The last

311
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:22.880
<v Speaker 2>I find out my driveway plowed once last winter, and

312
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:25.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't think I had it plowed once the winter before.

313
00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:29.799
<v Speaker 2>And this year you mentioned couple you missed.

314
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:33.200
<v Speaker 3>You keep mentioning fifteen. You said the middle of I

315
00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:35.880
<v Speaker 3>think it was the end of January. I remember it

316
00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:40.359
<v Speaker 3>was Monday, January twenty sixth because my birthday is January

317
00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:42.240
<v Speaker 3>twenty thirty, and it was in the forties, and there

318
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:45.039
<v Speaker 3>was no snow on the ground. Three days later, around

319
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:47.319
<v Speaker 3>four thirty in the afternoon, it started to snow light

320
00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:51.400
<v Speaker 3>and it didn't stop till the end of March week.

321
00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:55.599
<v Speaker 2>My recollection is somewhat different, and maybe people will either.

322
00:17:57.000 --> 00:18:01.640
<v Speaker 2>I think that was around January nineteenth twentieth when it started,

323
00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:04.519
<v Speaker 2>and it was pretty much over by the end of February,

324
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:07.839
<v Speaker 2>because if you think it went through the end of March,

325
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:10.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't have that recollection, but I'll see what people

326
00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:12.200
<v Speaker 2>say gonna. I may look it up during the news

327
00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:14.119
<v Speaker 2>break here at the bottom of the hour, but I'd

328
00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:15.880
<v Speaker 2>love to hear what people have to say on it,

329
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:16.759
<v Speaker 2>to be honest with you.

330
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:21.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, twenty twenty fifteen got we we were home free,

331
00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:23.559
<v Speaker 3>and then all of a sudden we just got dumped

332
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:24.480
<v Speaker 3>on for two weeks.

333
00:18:24.519 --> 00:18:27.079
<v Speaker 2>No, you and I agree totally. We were home free.

334
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:29.839
<v Speaker 2>There was nothing in November, not that it often is.

335
00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:35.720
<v Speaker 2>Nothing in December, and we got through at least half

336
00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:38.440
<v Speaker 2>of January, and it looked like we're all set. You

337
00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:40.759
<v Speaker 2>think it started on the twenty sixth. I think it's

338
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:43.279
<v Speaker 2>maybe a week beforehand, but I think it wrapped up

339
00:18:43.319 --> 00:18:45.480
<v Speaker 2>at the end of February. I don't know if I

340
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:46.440
<v Speaker 2>could find that for.

341
00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:49.759
<v Speaker 3>Certain, but I remember it because my birthdays on the

342
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:50.440
<v Speaker 3>twenty third.

343
00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:53.400
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well, let's see. Maybe someone out there will

344
00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:55.519
<v Speaker 2>either say, yeah, Dan, you're right, or Glenn was right.

345
00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:58.000
<v Speaker 2>You said your birthday's on the twenty sixth, and that's

346
00:18:58.000 --> 00:18:59.039
<v Speaker 2>what twenty third started.

347
00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:03.720
<v Speaker 3>Twenty third You pinted on the twenty third.

348
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:05.960
<v Speaker 2>I think it was just a little earlier than that.

349
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:06.720
<v Speaker 2>But well, we'll know.

350
00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:09.200
<v Speaker 3>I've pinted on the twenty six three days after my

351
00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:09.960
<v Speaker 3>birthday is one?

352
00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:13.400
<v Speaker 2>You got the twenty sixth. I think it's earlier. We'll

353
00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:15.559
<v Speaker 2>figure that out, and hopefully someone will call us with

354
00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:16.440
<v Speaker 2>the Farmer's.

355
00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:20.160
<v Speaker 3>Almanac, so I have a photographic memory.

356
00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:24.799
<v Speaker 2>Well, we will see. We'll get an answer. Glenn that

357
00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:25.319
<v Speaker 2>that's the.

358
00:19:25.319 --> 00:19:28.039
<v Speaker 3>Me you can. Steve Wavelli used to ask me what

359
00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:32.279
<v Speaker 3>temperature was the last time Gary for Woolburn called, and

360
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:36.680
<v Speaker 3>I told you he looked it up and I was right.

361
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:41.440
<v Speaker 2>I stand in admiration. So let's we'll see coming up

362
00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:44.279
<v Speaker 2>with my break here and we'll we'll figure it out.

363
00:19:44.359 --> 00:19:47.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna I'm gonna get I will get information and

364
00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:49.720
<v Speaker 2>I'll report right after the news break here at the

365
00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:50.359
<v Speaker 2>bottom of the hour.

366
00:19:50.440 --> 00:19:54.359
<v Speaker 3>Fair enough, all right, all right, thanks Glenn, Thanks, thank

367
00:19:54.400 --> 00:19:55.680
<v Speaker 3>you too, good night.

368
00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:57.839
<v Speaker 2>All right, we'll take quick break. I got some wide

369
00:19:57.839 --> 00:19:59.880
<v Speaker 2>open lines here six one, seven, two, five, four, ten

370
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:03.759
<v Speaker 2>thirty or six point seven nine three, one ten thirty.

371
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Tim in Winthrop was going to be first up on

372
00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:09.319
<v Speaker 2>the other side of the break. Do you do you

373
00:20:09.839 --> 00:20:14.720
<v Speaker 2>The general question is do you remember a colder February

374
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:17.319
<v Speaker 2>in your lifetime here in New England? And I don't

375
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:21.039
<v Speaker 2>care whether you're in Vermont, Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts,

376
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:25.000
<v Speaker 2>New Hampshire doesn't matter. I think it's been brutally cold

377
00:20:25.000 --> 00:20:28.880
<v Speaker 2>this month. I can't think of a colder February. I've

378
00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:32.160
<v Speaker 2>said before that I think January is generally the coldest month.

379
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:36.000
<v Speaker 2>And then sometimes February can be the snowiest. Well. Also,

380
00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:37.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to in the break here go back and

381
00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:40.279
<v Speaker 2>try to figure out if Glenn is right. My recollection

382
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:44.519
<v Speaker 2>was that the snow started sometime around January twentieth, so

383
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:47.200
<v Speaker 2>I positioned in about a week at a time and

384
00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:50.039
<v Speaker 2>it never stopped. But we'll see, we'll see. And if

385
00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:52.200
<v Speaker 2>you do have a copy of the Old Farmer's Almanac,

386
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:55.440
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to know what it predicted for New England

387
00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:59.640
<v Speaker 2>for this February. Normally the language and the old farmers

388
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:03.079
<v Speaker 2>Alms can be interpreted, you know, well, it could be

389
00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:06.680
<v Speaker 2>a little snowy, it's not a surprise or whatever. No,

390
00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:08.799
<v Speaker 2>I want to know what they say for New England

391
00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:11.599
<v Speaker 2>and February. I don't have a copy. Help us out.

392
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:12.400
<v Speaker 2>We're coming back on.

393
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:16.039
<v Speaker 1>Night said right after this, It's Night Side with Dan

394
00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:19.359
<v Speaker 1>Ray on Boston's news radio.

395
00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:24.960
<v Speaker 2>All right, let's uh. I got some information here. Okay,

396
00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:29.519
<v Speaker 2>So new England record snow track of Boston breaks all

397
00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:32.599
<v Speaker 2>time seasonal snow record twenty fourteen to twenty fifteen. We

398
00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:36.400
<v Speaker 2>know that, Okay, one hundred and eight point six inches

399
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:41.000
<v Speaker 2>of snow officially mark making the twenty fourteen twenty fifteen

400
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:44.000
<v Speaker 2>season the all time snowy season in the city. Okay,

401
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:57.480
<v Speaker 2>so one hundred and ten point six inches is the record. Okay,

402
00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:00.319
<v Speaker 2>this seems a little inconsistency by a couple of inches,

403
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:04.279
<v Speaker 2>but that's okay. So in February sixty four point eight inches.

404
00:22:06.759 --> 00:22:14.000
<v Speaker 2>What do we got here? They break this down. There's

405
00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:17.920
<v Speaker 2>too many different ways here. The one that was interesting

406
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:25.319
<v Speaker 2>was that it said that Boston failed to reach forty

407
00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:31.920
<v Speaker 2>degrees from January twentieth through March third. The big snowstorm

408
00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:39.119
<v Speaker 2>that started it off was from January twenty fourth to

409
00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:45.160
<v Speaker 2>February fifteenth, So Glenn remembers it at January twenty sixth.

410
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:50.200
<v Speaker 2>I remember it as January twentieth, so I think we're

411
00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:56.880
<v Speaker 2>both off a couple of days. But the fastest ninety

412
00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:01.559
<v Speaker 2>eight the fastest ninety inch snowfall went from January twenty

413
00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:07.960
<v Speaker 2>fourth through February fifteenth. Okay, Yeah, I think that we

414
00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:17.359
<v Speaker 2>have enough here, Glenn. I'll give you a break on this. Yeah, okay,

415
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:23.640
<v Speaker 2>But in January of twenty fifteen, we had forty six

416
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:28.119
<v Speaker 2>point five inches of snow and I still can't figure

417
00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:34.559
<v Speaker 2>out when the first storm hit. But that's okay. Let's

418
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:37.960
<v Speaker 2>keep rolling here, we have Tim and Winthrop joining us.

419
00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:39.240
<v Speaker 2>Tim welcome, How are you sir?

420
00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:39.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

421
00:23:39.720 --> 00:23:43.599
<v Speaker 8>I got two points. According to the other network, the

422
00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:47.039
<v Speaker 8>Weather Channel, they we're talking on the weekend, and this

423
00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:50.960
<v Speaker 8>is not us, Rochester, New York has had eighty seven

424
00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:55.400
<v Speaker 8>days straight of a cold snap. That's a record for them.

425
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, but here's the deal. That's what everybody knows. Rochester,

426
00:23:59.359 --> 00:23:59.839
<v Speaker 2>New York.

427
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:03.319
<v Speaker 8>We know that. I just want to get and Boston,

428
00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:08.359
<v Speaker 8>according to them, has had sixty two days of the

429
00:24:08.400 --> 00:24:10.920
<v Speaker 8>longest coat snap ever for us. Right now, we're in

430
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:12.240
<v Speaker 8>it right now.

431
00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:16.079
<v Speaker 2>Really, I didn't know that. And how did they define Okay,

432
00:24:16.279 --> 00:24:18.640
<v Speaker 2>how do they define? Tim?

433
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:22.480
<v Speaker 8>If you know, forty degrees, it has to be forty

434
00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:23.599
<v Speaker 8>degrees twenty four?

435
00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:27.559
<v Speaker 2>Hold on, hold on, all right, So it's under forty

436
00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:29.400
<v Speaker 2>forty degrees or under is what you're saying.

437
00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:31.960
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, but it has to be forty degrees for the

438
00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:35.599
<v Speaker 8>whole day. That's what they said, because it was like

439
00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:36.839
<v Speaker 8>that a couple of years ago.

440
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:40.880
<v Speaker 2>And but but they last you go, whoa, Tim? Slow down?

441
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:41.160
<v Speaker 3>Right?

442
00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Slow right? You must have watched the Daytona five hundred yesterday.

443
00:24:45.720 --> 00:24:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Slow down?

444
00:24:46.559 --> 00:24:47.039
<v Speaker 3>I like that.

445
00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:49.079
<v Speaker 2>What do you mean it's got It's gonna be under

446
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:51.920
<v Speaker 2>forty degrees for the entire day, is what I think.

447
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:54.160
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, for most of the day, that's what he was saying.

448
00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:56.440
<v Speaker 8>I couldn't understand what when he meant, well, I kind.

449
00:24:56.279 --> 00:24:58.119
<v Speaker 2>Of understand what you're saying. Tim. What I'm saying is

450
00:24:59.400 --> 00:25:01.480
<v Speaker 2>I thought you originally we're trying to say it has

451
00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:04.000
<v Speaker 2>to be exactly forty degrees for the entire day. No,

452
00:25:04.200 --> 00:25:06.720
<v Speaker 2>what you're trying to say is it doesn't reach forty

453
00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:08.599
<v Speaker 2>degrees for the entire day.

454
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:12.079
<v Speaker 8>Maybe right, No, No, no, it has to be forty

455
00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:13.759
<v Speaker 8>for the entire day, that's what he said.

456
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:16.279
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so so at no point during the day does

457
00:25:16.319 --> 00:25:17.960
<v Speaker 2>it ever get to thirty nine degrees? Is that what

458
00:25:18.039 --> 00:25:18.599
<v Speaker 2>you're telling me?

459
00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:21.519
<v Speaker 8>No, it gets a thirty, it gets the thirty nine,

460
00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:25.039
<v Speaker 8>but it has to go over forty for a complete day.

461
00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:27.160
<v Speaker 8>That's what he was saying.

462
00:25:27.359 --> 00:25:30.240
<v Speaker 2>No, Tim, I didn't want to I get you, Tim,

463
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Tim listening, but please think what you just said to me.

464
00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:38.400
<v Speaker 2>It has to go over forty. Is that what you

465
00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:38.880
<v Speaker 2>just said?

466
00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:40.799
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, for a whole day, that's what he said. That's

467
00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:42.839
<v Speaker 8>what Paul. Well, I'm not going to mention the guy's name,

468
00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:43.240
<v Speaker 8>so it.

469
00:25:43.200 --> 00:25:45.880
<v Speaker 2>Could be so it could be forty eight degrees, and

470
00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:48.160
<v Speaker 2>it's if it's over forty that's what you're telling me.

471
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:53.359
<v Speaker 8>Well, he was saying, But I'm saying what he I'm

472
00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:54.440
<v Speaker 8>just for beating what I said.

473
00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:57.359
<v Speaker 2>No, he's what I think you're trying to say. Let

474
00:25:57.359 --> 00:25:59.920
<v Speaker 2>me help you out. I think what you're saying is

475
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:05.759
<v Speaker 2>that for the entire day, the temperature cannot exceed forty degrees.

476
00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:09.680
<v Speaker 2>So it could be thirty six in the morning, thirty

477
00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:13.240
<v Speaker 2>eight at noontime, maybe being forty degrees, and then it

478
00:26:13.319 --> 00:26:16.000
<v Speaker 2>drops back and so that would be the first day

479
00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:20.440
<v Speaker 2>of the cold snap. If it goes over forty degrees,

480
00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:23.920
<v Speaker 2>then the cold snap is snapped. How long have we

481
00:26:24.039 --> 00:26:26.279
<v Speaker 2>been under forty degrees? As far as you.

482
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:29.440
<v Speaker 8>Know, we've been on a forty degrees he said, sixty

483
00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:32.839
<v Speaker 8>five days as of two days ago. This is Sunday

484
00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:34.400
<v Speaker 8>on they do a special show.

485
00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:36.599
<v Speaker 2>So is the heat. I hate it.

486
00:26:36.799 --> 00:26:39.200
<v Speaker 8>It's weather rech out. It's in the morning. I don't

487
00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:42.839
<v Speaker 8>know the general's name. First name is Paul, and they

488
00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:45.640
<v Speaker 8>mentioned Boston, they mentioned Worston.

489
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:49.799
<v Speaker 2>Tim Tim, I've never had this difficulty having a conversation

490
00:26:49.920 --> 00:26:53.119
<v Speaker 2>with you. Just listen to my question. Okay, I'm asking

491
00:26:53.279 --> 00:26:57.119
<v Speaker 2>simple questions and if you hear the question, you can answer.

492
00:26:57.200 --> 00:26:59.440
<v Speaker 2>And if you don't know the answer, tell me. Okay,

493
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:03.720
<v Speaker 2>some guy here, so you're saying that you watched some

494
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:09.000
<v Speaker 2>program on television called Weather Recharge.

495
00:27:09.519 --> 00:27:09.920
<v Speaker 8>Correct?

496
00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay, what station was that program?

497
00:27:13.440 --> 00:27:16.759
<v Speaker 8>Whether that's on the Weather Channel or the Weather Channel?

498
00:27:16.759 --> 00:27:20.359
<v Speaker 2>Okay, And they're saying, and they said that in Boston

499
00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:22.000
<v Speaker 2>or did they say Massachusetts?

500
00:27:22.039 --> 00:27:24.440
<v Speaker 8>What did they say they said in Massachusetts?

501
00:27:25.000 --> 00:27:29.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay? Yeah, well, I don't know. Sixty five days, tim correctly,

502
00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:33.000
<v Speaker 2>that's a long will take us back if today was the.

503
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:35.880
<v Speaker 8>Sixty fifth day before christener.

504
00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:40.400
<v Speaker 2>Take us back to yeah, well into Christmas before Christmas,

505
00:27:40.839 --> 00:27:43.200
<v Speaker 2>that's possible. That's possible, I guess.

506
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:46.400
<v Speaker 8>But he said it's the longest cold snap right now,

507
00:27:46.440 --> 00:27:48.240
<v Speaker 8>and some of those guys in Boston are saying the

508
00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:51.680
<v Speaker 8>same thing, like this is what they can remember. I'm

509
00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:54.759
<v Speaker 8>sixty eight. This is the longest cold snap that I

510
00:27:54.799 --> 00:27:56.200
<v Speaker 8>can remember. How about you? Dan?

511
00:27:58.119 --> 00:28:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Well? According to an article that I'm looking at from

512
00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:11.559
<v Speaker 2>the Weather Channel, which was produced or weather dot com

513
00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:16.359
<v Speaker 2>excuse me, which I've found here now again, this came

514
00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:22.240
<v Speaker 2>out in twenty fifteen. It said in terms of what

515
00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:26.920
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about, which is the longest day. In twenty fifteen,

516
00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:30.359
<v Speaker 2>Boston had failed to reach forty degrees, which is what

517
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:34.839
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about, from January twentieth through March third. So

518
00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:39.759
<v Speaker 2>that was a record streak of forty three consecutive days record.

519
00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for interrupting, Tim, That was very helpful. The

520
00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:48.400
<v Speaker 2>previous such record streak of forty two straight days was

521
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:51.359
<v Speaker 2>set in the winter of nineteen sixty eight to sixty nine.

522
00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:54.680
<v Speaker 2>The point is that if we truly are in sixty

523
00:28:54.759 --> 00:29:01.160
<v Speaker 2>five days, that would shatter the record of forty three days.

524
00:29:01.799 --> 00:29:06.960
<v Speaker 2>My suspicion is that we may not be at sixty

525
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:09.119
<v Speaker 2>five days. That's only a suspicion. I don't know who

526
00:29:09.160 --> 00:29:10.240
<v Speaker 2>the person was to agree with.

527
00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:12.039
<v Speaker 8>I agree with, you're right, Yeah, you're right.

528
00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:16.000
<v Speaker 2>We'll see. Maybe he said, Maybe he said thirty five days.

529
00:29:16.039 --> 00:29:17.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. We'll figure out.

530
00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:20.160
<v Speaker 8>I could have meant, he could have meant the whole Massachusetts.

531
00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:21.920
<v Speaker 8>I don't know what he meant, but.

532
00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:27.279
<v Speaker 2>Why All right, Tim, But thank you for that for

533
00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:28.720
<v Speaker 2>those clarifications.

534
00:29:28.920 --> 00:29:33.519
<v Speaker 8>One more thing outside of that, it says before I go,

535
00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:37.200
<v Speaker 8>it says, my phone says two more weeks of this

536
00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:40.440
<v Speaker 8>and let's see what happens. I'm not going to go there.

537
00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:43.039
<v Speaker 8>But the other thing with the Red Sox is I'm

538
00:29:43.039 --> 00:29:46.279
<v Speaker 8>not bullish on them because what the Dodgers are doing,

539
00:29:46.319 --> 00:29:49.240
<v Speaker 8>they're ruining baseball. They're spending so much money. I like

540
00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:53.440
<v Speaker 8>the bregmant thing, but the Red Sox are not being

541
00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:56.039
<v Speaker 8>thea to the fans because now they charge pay per

542
00:29:56.119 --> 00:30:00.279
<v Speaker 8>view for their network, for their local network. That's not

543
00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:03.960
<v Speaker 8>the fans either. And they have to get three more players.

544
00:30:04.359 --> 00:30:07.160
<v Speaker 8>It's not spending the money more money than this, Breg.

545
00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:08.759
<v Speaker 8>He don't hurt.

546
00:30:08.759 --> 00:30:11.480
<v Speaker 2>But what players would you replace? Tim? What? What Red

547
00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:14.039
<v Speaker 2>Sox players are you looking? Dan?

548
00:30:14.200 --> 00:30:14.920
<v Speaker 8>We need pitchers.

549
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:17.480
<v Speaker 2>You got seven starting pitchers right now.

550
00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:20.960
<v Speaker 8>We need to all of these status. At least.

551
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Gelato is pretty good. Crochette, the guy from the White

552
00:30:26.759 --> 00:30:27.559
<v Speaker 2>Sox pretty good.

553
00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:30.839
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, but we can't compare to the Yankees of the Dodgers.

554
00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:34.240
<v Speaker 8>They got all this well, we used to complain about Sky.

555
00:30:34.640 --> 00:30:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Let's play the season to see how they do. Tim Okay,

556
00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:37.759
<v Speaker 2>I got to run, Tim.

557
00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:40.960
<v Speaker 8>I just don't want the Dodgers to ruin baseball because

558
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:44.079
<v Speaker 8>the ratings on baseball are horrible right now without the

559
00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:45.119
<v Speaker 8>Yankees and Red Sox.

560
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:47.559
<v Speaker 2>Tim, this has been a really interesting phone call, and

561
00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:50.240
<v Speaker 2>I think we should end it right now. Thanks very much, doctor.

562
00:30:50.440 --> 00:30:54.559
<v Speaker 2>Later we covered the waterfront. Will take a break, I promise,

563
00:30:54.720 --> 00:30:59.559
<v Speaker 2>And I'm told that Sean has the Old Farmer's Almanac.

564
00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:02.039
<v Speaker 2>And if any of you would like to join the

565
00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:07.960
<v Speaker 2>conversation and actually have a conversation, I'm available at six, one, seven, two, five, four,

566
00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:12.119
<v Speaker 2>ten thirty. Had a couple of little frustrations there with Tim,

567
00:31:12.160 --> 00:31:15.480
<v Speaker 2>who normally is pretty much he was wound up tonight.

568
00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:19.880
<v Speaker 2>Join the conversation where I got some wide open lines here.

569
00:31:20.039 --> 00:31:23.599
<v Speaker 2>Let's have a conversation. It's the art of conversation. You talk,

570
00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:27.119
<v Speaker 2>I listen, I respond, You listen, you respond. That's the

571
00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:30.319
<v Speaker 2>way it goes. Okay, simple as that. Don't feel any pressure.

572
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:33.559
<v Speaker 2>Not put any pressure on anybody tonight. The pressure will

573
00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:36.480
<v Speaker 2>resume tomorrow night. We'll get to some some serious topics

574
00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:39.799
<v Speaker 2>tomorrow night. We had a great topic at nine if

575
00:31:39.799 --> 00:31:44.960
<v Speaker 2>you missed the nine o'clock hour with Professor Jeff Myron

576
00:31:44.000 --> 00:31:48.279
<v Speaker 2>when my producer and Rob is not the producer tonight,

577
00:31:48.359 --> 00:31:53.759
<v Speaker 2>but when Dan puts up the podcast from tonight's newscast,

578
00:31:53.799 --> 00:31:55.720
<v Speaker 2>you want to listen to that nine o'clock hour with

579
00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Jeff Myron of Harvard University was great. Need a couple

580
00:31:58.960 --> 00:32:01.359
<v Speaker 2>more phone calls, give us the hell coming back on Nightside.

581
00:32:02.559 --> 00:32:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

582
00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.

583
00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to the man who has the Farmer's Almanac. Sean,

584
00:32:12.880 --> 00:32:14.519
<v Speaker 2>bail me out here. How are you, buddy?

585
00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:16.480
<v Speaker 6>I'm good Dan, How are you today?

586
00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:19.720
<v Speaker 2>Sir? Good? So what does the Farmer's Almond? Is it

587
00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:22.880
<v Speaker 2>the Farmer's Almanac of the Old Farmer's Almanac? I always

588
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:23.799
<v Speaker 2>get that mixed up.

589
00:32:24.480 --> 00:32:26.599
<v Speaker 6>I think it's the Old Farmer's Almanac. And I just

590
00:32:26.599 --> 00:32:29.079
<v Speaker 6>went on Google and they do give you a summary too,

591
00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:30.920
<v Speaker 6>instead of having to pay for the subscription. I just

592
00:32:30.920 --> 00:32:32.920
<v Speaker 6>pull up the summar quip, which I thought you'd find interesting.

593
00:32:33.720 --> 00:32:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Let's hear it all right.

594
00:32:35.519 --> 00:32:38.920
<v Speaker 6>So Region one is the Northeast. That's basically mass Vermont,

595
00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:42.440
<v Speaker 6>New Hampshire, Maine, in eastern New York. The prediction is

596
00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:45.319
<v Speaker 6>there is always cold and snowy. That's no brainer. But

597
00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:48.759
<v Speaker 6>we're predicting a gentler the normal season that's not so

598
00:32:48.960 --> 00:32:52.799
<v Speaker 6>rough and tough. Then is how cold the winter be

599
00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:57.119
<v Speaker 6>winter temperatures will be about average overall. January expected to

600
00:32:57.119 --> 00:33:00.799
<v Speaker 6>be about four degrees above average, but the oldest periods

601
00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:05.039
<v Speaker 6>will be mid December in late February.

602
00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:12.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't think they nailed it then, Oh man,

603
00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:16.920
<v Speaker 2>I think that they tried to sort of cover themselves.

604
00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:19.720
<v Speaker 2>But what was that first sentence that you read.

605
00:33:20.839 --> 00:33:24.079
<v Speaker 6>They're predicting a gentler the normal season that's not so

606
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:24.880
<v Speaker 6>rough and tough.

607
00:33:26.359 --> 00:33:31.599
<v Speaker 2>I think that's where they blew it. I mean, obviously

608
00:33:31.839 --> 00:33:33.920
<v Speaker 2>it's funny when they write that. It's always sort of

609
00:33:34.039 --> 00:33:37.559
<v Speaker 2>open to some form of interpretation. But of course was

610
00:33:37.640 --> 00:33:40.640
<v Speaker 2>not a gentler season. The month of February has not

611
00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:43.279
<v Speaker 2>been It's been brutal. It's been brutal.

612
00:33:43.640 --> 00:33:46.880
<v Speaker 6>And yeah, the final, the finals. In the as will

613
00:33:46.920 --> 00:33:49.720
<v Speaker 6>there be snow, it says yes, there'll be plenty of snow. However,

614
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:53.319
<v Speaker 6>precipitation in snowfall will be slightly below normal by about

615
00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:56.839
<v Speaker 6>one or one half percent. The snowiest periods, it's important.

616
00:33:57.200 --> 00:34:01.119
<v Speaker 6>The snowiest periods will be in early December, mid February,

617
00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:02.440
<v Speaker 6>in early March.

618
00:34:04.519 --> 00:34:08.599
<v Speaker 2>Well, if it really keeps going here, okay, i'll take,

619
00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:12.199
<v Speaker 2>I'll take. I'll give them the mid February. But if

620
00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:14.119
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden we've seen the end of the

621
00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:16.480
<v Speaker 2>snow and it's just going to be cold weather. The

622
00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:19.400
<v Speaker 2>big story is not that the storm, the snow we've

623
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:22.639
<v Speaker 2>gotten has not been overwhelming. This is not twenty fifteen,

624
00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:27.239
<v Speaker 2>this is twenty twenty five. But the cold has been overwhelming,

625
00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:28.079
<v Speaker 2>there's no question.

626
00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:30.199
<v Speaker 6>Sure. The wind exactly.

627
00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:33.239
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I mean today it was howling. It was howling.

628
00:34:33.320 --> 00:34:38.400
<v Speaker 2>I I was outside for like maybe two minutes and

629
00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:43.239
<v Speaker 2>it was like, let me back inside. Yeah, brutal. How

630
00:34:43.320 --> 00:34:45.000
<v Speaker 2>is it up in Beverly. I'm sure you're on the

631
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:47.039
<v Speaker 2>water up there. It has to be tough up there today.

632
00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:48.039
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

633
00:34:48.559 --> 00:34:50.679
<v Speaker 6>You see the signs, the street signs are blow in,

634
00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:53.559
<v Speaker 6>the lamp post are blowing, which is that's pretty heavy

635
00:34:53.559 --> 00:34:55.639
<v Speaker 6>for this air. Even so, it was, it was definitely

636
00:34:55.679 --> 00:34:57.840
<v Speaker 6>substantially that had to be pretty much bundled up all

637
00:34:57.840 --> 00:34:58.119
<v Speaker 6>the way.

638
00:34:59.039 --> 00:35:02.039
<v Speaker 2>All right, seanppreciate you you're grabbing that for me. That

639
00:35:02.119 --> 00:35:03.960
<v Speaker 2>was very kind of you to do. I really do

640
00:35:04.039 --> 00:35:07.920
<v Speaker 2>appreciate it. Thank you much good I do, thank you, sir.

641
00:35:08.679 --> 00:35:10.639
<v Speaker 2>I got a couple of open lines, come on, fill

642
00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:13.159
<v Speaker 2>them up. Six one, seven, two, five, four, ten, thirty

643
00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:16.480
<v Speaker 2>six one, seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty. This the

644
00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:19.719
<v Speaker 2>coldest winter you ever remember. It's the coldest winter for me.

645
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:22.320
<v Speaker 2>Let me see what Rick and Bill Ricker says. Rick,

646
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:26.199
<v Speaker 2>am I on the money? Or what do you do?

647
00:35:26.239 --> 00:35:27.920
<v Speaker 2>You agree to disagree? Rick? Go right ahead?

648
00:35:28.119 --> 00:35:32.079
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I agree, it's it's more like cold Rica. Yeah.

649
00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:33.360
<v Speaker 2>I like that.

650
00:35:33.440 --> 00:35:38.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah that was dead. It's been incredibly cold. My only

651
00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:42.480
<v Speaker 4>recollection of thinking about cold winters was in two thousand

652
00:35:42.519 --> 00:35:45.119
<v Speaker 4>and seven. I don't know if it extended into February,

653
00:35:45.119 --> 00:35:47.880
<v Speaker 4>but it was January or February. I remember I was.

654
00:35:48.360 --> 00:35:51.880
<v Speaker 4>I was at my parents' house. I was still living

655
00:35:51.880 --> 00:35:55.519
<v Speaker 4>with them, and there was stra a couple of stray cats,

656
00:35:55.519 --> 00:35:58.320
<v Speaker 4>well one that I knew for sure, and there was

657
00:35:58.400 --> 00:36:00.840
<v Speaker 4>another beautiful cat that used to come and see me

658
00:36:00.880 --> 00:36:03.760
<v Speaker 4>at night and I'd feed him, and it was so

659
00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:06.239
<v Speaker 4>brutally cold. I had him sleep in my car a

660
00:36:06.239 --> 00:36:09.760
<v Speaker 4>couple of times. This was like January, maybe early February

661
00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:13.920
<v Speaker 4>twenty seven, and I ended up putting him in a shelter.

662
00:36:14.159 --> 00:36:15.760
<v Speaker 4>I put him in a shelter. I tried to I

663
00:36:16.039 --> 00:36:18.159
<v Speaker 4>don't think he had an owner, and I tried put

664
00:36:18.199 --> 00:36:21.320
<v Speaker 4>the listing up. I love this cat. It was. It

665
00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:24.000
<v Speaker 4>was the cat chows me, but I couldn't have taken it.

666
00:36:24.039 --> 00:36:26.840
<v Speaker 4>So I put him in a shelter in Sudbury.

667
00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:32.159
<v Speaker 2>And what we call feral cats.

668
00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:37.159
<v Speaker 4>One of them is that never I could never grab her,

669
00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:40.599
<v Speaker 4>but she used to see me. This this other one

670
00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:43.000
<v Speaker 4>may have had a place to stay. Looked really good.

671
00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:44.559
<v Speaker 4>But he didn't have a call her and he was

672
00:36:44.679 --> 00:36:48.119
<v Speaker 4>always out in the freezing at night. And but cats

673
00:36:48.159 --> 00:36:53.000
<v Speaker 4>have a high metabolism. They can stand the cold, you know,

674
00:36:53.079 --> 00:36:58.760
<v Speaker 4>because they stay warm somehow through their high metabolism. But

675
00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:02.199
<v Speaker 4>I was so aware read I just said, I'm putting

676
00:37:02.199 --> 00:37:06.760
<v Speaker 4>this cat in the shelter. It's curious.

677
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:11.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm just curious. How were you able to get the cat?

678
00:37:11.639 --> 00:37:14.280
<v Speaker 2>The federal cat wouldn't come close enough to to grab

679
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:16.079
<v Speaker 2>him right or grab her.

680
00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:19.400
<v Speaker 4>Well, this this is I believe this was a This

681
00:37:19.519 --> 00:37:22.800
<v Speaker 4>was a boy and I was able just to put

682
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:24.960
<v Speaker 4>this guy in a in a in a cat thing.

683
00:37:25.039 --> 00:37:26.679
<v Speaker 4>So it may it may have had an owner, but

684
00:37:26.840 --> 00:37:29.880
<v Speaker 4>I tried to put the word out and uh, there

685
00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:33.440
<v Speaker 4>was never a caller. And so.

686
00:37:34.559 --> 00:37:37.440
<v Speaker 2>So understand I'm trying to stay here. So you you

687
00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:40.440
<v Speaker 2>get the cat, and you you scoop the cat. Out

688
00:37:40.639 --> 00:37:43.760
<v Speaker 2>and you put him in your car, and you at

689
00:37:43.840 --> 00:37:46.800
<v Speaker 2>least give him the warmth of the car at night.

690
00:37:47.199 --> 00:37:49.639
<v Speaker 2>Did you ever think about bringing him into the house or.

691
00:37:49.679 --> 00:37:53.199
<v Speaker 4>No, Well, I couldn't have. At the time, I couldn't have.

692
00:37:53.360 --> 00:37:59.280
<v Speaker 4>It wasn't my host, you know, I couldn't record. But yeah,

693
00:37:59.280 --> 00:38:01.639
<v Speaker 4>I got I didn't have an option. But I just

694
00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:09.320
<v Speaker 4>remember I remember putting the cat in in a shelter,

695
00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:12.239
<v Speaker 4>and I found out that a nice, an older woman

696
00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:15.400
<v Speaker 4>adopted him, and I visited him before he was adopted.

697
00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:17.360
<v Speaker 4>He was pissed at me. He wouldn't even look I

698
00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:19.440
<v Speaker 4>mean was he was not happy with me. But it

699
00:38:19.480 --> 00:38:24.119
<v Speaker 4>was so cold. It was so cold like right now.

700
00:38:24.239 --> 00:38:26.880
<v Speaker 4>But I don't know if it's just I'm reminded of

701
00:38:26.920 --> 00:38:29.960
<v Speaker 4>that small spian of time. I don't know. I think

702
00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:33.320
<v Speaker 4>it might. It's probably has been colder for a longer

703
00:38:33.360 --> 00:38:37.400
<v Speaker 4>period than in January two thousand and seven, but I

704
00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:41.079
<v Speaker 4>think it extended January into February. I can't remember exactly,

705
00:38:41.480 --> 00:38:44.079
<v Speaker 4>but it was around How.

706
00:38:43.920 --> 00:38:46.400
<v Speaker 2>Did you know so you brought him to the shelter.

707
00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:49.239
<v Speaker 2>Was he upset that you brought him to the shelter?

708
00:38:49.360 --> 00:38:50.599
<v Speaker 2>Is that is that?

709
00:38:51.079 --> 00:38:51.360
<v Speaker 6>Well?

710
00:38:51.400 --> 00:38:55.320
<v Speaker 4>The cat was pretty the cat was pretty easy, you know.

711
00:38:55.760 --> 00:38:57.559
<v Speaker 4>I was able to deal with the cat easily and

712
00:38:57.639 --> 00:39:00.320
<v Speaker 4>brought him to the shelter. And I tried, like a

713
00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:03.880
<v Speaker 4>couple of weeks putting up signs and no, I get that.

714
00:39:03.920 --> 00:39:06.679
<v Speaker 2>I get that. So he was your He was your

715
00:39:06.719 --> 00:39:09.679
<v Speaker 2>cat on a temporary basis. Good for you.

716
00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:12.599
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he used to come at night. He was a dog,

717
00:39:12.840 --> 00:39:15.440
<v Speaker 4>a beautiful cat, and I had the cat was more

718
00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:17.320
<v Speaker 4>like a dog. He used to run to me. And

719
00:39:18.079 --> 00:39:21.000
<v Speaker 4>but I was so afraid with this brutal cold, it

720
00:39:21.000 --> 00:39:23.639
<v Speaker 4>could have even killed a cat, and the cat probably

721
00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:26.480
<v Speaker 4>would have survived fine, but it was a good looking cat,

722
00:39:26.519 --> 00:39:29.760
<v Speaker 4>and I didn't want it to become ragged. It may

723
00:39:29.760 --> 00:39:33.360
<v Speaker 4>have been left behind by a family that had moved

724
00:39:33.440 --> 00:39:36.199
<v Speaker 4>or something, but there was no indication of it. Always

725
00:39:36.280 --> 00:39:38.960
<v Speaker 4>ticks me off from people don't put collars on their animals.

726
00:39:40.719 --> 00:39:44.679
<v Speaker 4>But it was so cold, like now, that's what I

727
00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:48.880
<v Speaker 4>That's what I did, and I'll always remember that, and

728
00:39:48.920 --> 00:39:50.719
<v Speaker 4>it was what I thought I thought I was doing.

729
00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:52.800
<v Speaker 2>You did a good thing. You took care of the

730
00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:56.239
<v Speaker 2>cat under some difficult circumstances, and the fact that he

731
00:39:56.360 --> 00:40:00.280
<v Speaker 2>ended up with an adoptive home. That's a great story.

732
00:40:00.880 --> 00:40:03.199
<v Speaker 4>No, thank you, thank you. And like I said today,

733
00:40:03.800 --> 00:40:07.000
<v Speaker 4>with my house here, I could then I could grab

734
00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:10.239
<v Speaker 4>up a cat and to take the cat on if

735
00:40:10.280 --> 00:40:12.360
<v Speaker 4>it was if it looked like it was it was

736
00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:14.599
<v Speaker 4>really roughing it outside and it was too much, I

737
00:40:14.599 --> 00:40:17.079
<v Speaker 4>could help it. I couldn't at the time. It wasn't

738
00:40:17.119 --> 00:40:19.519
<v Speaker 4>my place. I just want to quickly add. So that's

739
00:40:19.599 --> 00:40:23.000
<v Speaker 4>the cold part, the snowy. But after my father died

740
00:40:23.039 --> 00:40:28.159
<v Speaker 4>it was twenty fourteen, and that winter was brutal because

741
00:40:28.159 --> 00:40:29.639
<v Speaker 4>I used to work for a town and I used

742
00:40:29.639 --> 00:40:34.679
<v Speaker 4>to remove the snow on that massive January twenty fifteen snowstorm.

743
00:40:34.719 --> 00:40:37.480
<v Speaker 4>I was like January twenty third or twenty fourth, there

744
00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:40.480
<v Speaker 4>was a snowstorm that was smaller a few days earlier

745
00:40:40.559 --> 00:40:43.159
<v Speaker 4>or something that only gave us a few inches. Then

746
00:40:43.199 --> 00:40:46.599
<v Speaker 4>this massive one comes along and I had I was

747
00:40:46.639 --> 00:40:47.280
<v Speaker 4>out all night.

748
00:40:48.360 --> 00:40:48.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

749
00:40:48.639 --> 00:40:51.079
<v Speaker 2>Well I remember the first one. I mean I remembered

750
00:40:51.079 --> 00:40:52.760
<v Speaker 2>that first one. That's why I thought about it.

751
00:40:52.840 --> 00:40:55.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, absolutely, you're talking about the January twenty third, the

752
00:40:55.960 --> 00:40:57.679
<v Speaker 4>really one that mocked that season.

753
00:40:57.719 --> 00:40:59.599
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I remember the big one, but I remember the

754
00:40:59.599 --> 00:41:02.000
<v Speaker 2>one being forward and it just kind of started, that's all.

755
00:41:02.039 --> 00:41:05.280
<v Speaker 2>It was so simple that's right. That's that's how it

756
00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:07.679
<v Speaker 2>got going. So maybe I'm I'm more on the money

757
00:41:07.719 --> 00:41:10.039
<v Speaker 2>than Glenn was, because Glenn was insisting it was the

758
00:41:10.079 --> 00:41:12.119
<v Speaker 2>twenty sixth or or yeah.

759
00:41:12.239 --> 00:41:14.199
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I don't even know. I thought it was.

760
00:41:14.599 --> 00:41:17.760
<v Speaker 4>I knew it was. I knew it was into the twenties,

761
00:41:18.400 --> 00:41:21.159
<v Speaker 4>all right, it could have been. Yeah, but that was

762
00:41:21.159 --> 00:41:23.360
<v Speaker 4>a big window. Another big winter was twenty ten to

763
00:41:23.440 --> 00:41:26.880
<v Speaker 4>twenty eleven. That was a huge winter. And that was

764
00:41:26.920 --> 00:41:28.280
<v Speaker 4>all all right, Rick, I'm gonna.

765
00:41:28.159 --> 00:41:30.559
<v Speaker 2>Let you run here. Man, I'm flat out. I think

766
00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:33.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm one more call. I going to try to sneak in. Okay, Thanks, Rick,

772
00:41:46.239 --> 00:41:49.559
<v Speaker 7>Oh listen a minute. Dan, I'm just curious. So this

773
00:41:49.719 --> 00:41:54.360
<v Speaker 7>last hour doesn't interest me. Maybe you know, obviously some

774
00:41:54.400 --> 00:41:58.280
<v Speaker 7>people called and were interested, but we can't change the weather.

775
00:41:58.880 --> 00:42:02.440
<v Speaker 7>Move to Florida, take a ten day vacation. I like

776
00:42:02.519 --> 00:42:03.079
<v Speaker 7>the season.

777
00:42:03.239 --> 00:42:05.639
<v Speaker 2>So what would you like to have talked about this hour, Mike,

778
00:42:05.719 --> 00:42:08.599
<v Speaker 2>what what other than what would you like to what

779
00:42:08.599 --> 00:42:09.800
<v Speaker 2>would you like to have talked about?

780
00:42:09.840 --> 00:42:12.440
<v Speaker 7>Well, I'm not complaining. I'm not complaining. I don't call

781
00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:15.480
<v Speaker 7>it a complaint, but just a suggestion when you're planning

782
00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:19.760
<v Speaker 7>your program. The professor that was on was very interested. Uh,

783
00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:22.199
<v Speaker 7>you had a lot of callers there. Why was opening

784
00:42:22.360 --> 00:42:25.000
<v Speaker 7>on nine to eleven? Two hours would have been great?

785
00:42:25.360 --> 00:42:27.159
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'll tell you why, Mike. Let me explain to

786
00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:30.559
<v Speaker 2>you why sometimes when you're a professor at Harvard you

787
00:42:30.639 --> 00:42:32.880
<v Speaker 2>sometimes have classes the next day. You know, Mike, you

788
00:42:32.880 --> 00:42:35.159
<v Speaker 2>should you should apply for a job as a producer

789
00:42:35.159 --> 00:42:37.480
<v Speaker 2>and you can help us out here. Any suggestions you

790
00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:40.400
<v Speaker 2>want to make are always welcome. Uh. The comment that

791
00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:43.199
<v Speaker 2>you made to start off with, certainly end of the program,

792
00:42:43.199 --> 00:42:45.199
<v Speaker 2>which I thought was a pretty good program on a

793
00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:47.679
<v Speaker 2>bit of a hour. No, but I appreciate you calling nonetheless.
