Speaker 1: It's night Side with Dan Ray. I'm WBSY Constance video.
Speaker 2: All right, thank you very much, Dan Watkins. As we
Speaker 2: move into a nine.
Speaker 3: O'clock hour here on Night Side, I hope all of
Speaker 3: you are doing well. Interesting issues that we talked about
Speaker 3: last hour, and again we always do this, and we
Speaker 3: do it in a way in which we try to
Speaker 3: hit upon different topics that people might be interested in.
Speaker 3: And we can talk literally every night, if you know,
Speaker 3: we wanted to about politics. But to be honest with you,
Speaker 3: as someone who's sitting here for for an entire evening, uh,
Speaker 3: it can be it can be pretty tough to Uh.
Speaker 3: My computer has given me all sorts of problems here,
Speaker 3: but we'll we'll figure this out. I guess at one
Speaker 3: point later, I'm just going to shut this computer off
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 2: Unbelievable. So what I want to talk about now is
Speaker 2: a story.
Speaker 3: That was in the Boston Globe today And maybe you
Speaker 3: know this, Rob, I have no idea what my computer
Speaker 3: is doing, and I think I just got to shut
Speaker 3: it off, force force it here or escape or whatever
Speaker 3: like that. We'll figure it out. In the Boston Globe,
Speaker 3: in the Wednesday Food section, appropriately enough, there is a
Speaker 3: story written by Devora first, and Devora wrote this story
Speaker 3: that says, should you take your dog to dinner? It's
Speaker 3: an intriguing headline, and apparently there's an effort underway here
Speaker 3: in Boston which I think is a great idea to
Speaker 3: allow dogs to be present and in certain restaurants outdoor dining.
Speaker 3: I think I'm not a dining expert, I'm not even
Speaker 3: a dog expert, but I think it's called alfresco. So
Speaker 3: dev wrote, I took my dog to dinner. Apparently this
Speaker 3: is something dog owners love to do. Yes, indeed, yes, indeed.
Speaker 2: There is, she wrote.
Speaker 3: Last year, after centuries of successful dog on friendly dining,
Speaker 3: Boston introduced a variance in which businesses could apply allowing
Speaker 3: pups to join their humans eating alfresco.
Speaker 2: I think it's a great idea.
Speaker 3: Now, ironically, at the end of the article, which is,
Speaker 3: you know, typical article in the g section, fairly lengthy.
Speaker 3: We tried to get Devor to join us tonight, but
Speaker 3: I guess she's on vacation this week and is not available.
Speaker 3: Marita called her or contacted her. She finishes up by
Speaker 3: essentially saying, in her opinion, dog friendly dining is more
Speaker 3: for human than dogs. She said her dog is a
Speaker 3: very good dog, and she's easy to handle in public places.
Speaker 3: Is she always this chill, one staffer asked at Davio's.
Speaker 3: But she's still a dog. Restaurants don't have much to
Speaker 3: offer her. She could be home lounging in her bed,
Speaker 3: police in the yard for squirrels chewing her toy. Bring
Speaker 3: your dog out to eat if you want, but let's
Speaker 3: be honest. Dog friendly dining is for humans, it's not
Speaker 3: for dogs. That's her conclusion. I couldn't disagree with her
Speaker 3: more on that conclusion, I think. And my daughter has
Speaker 3: a dog out in San Francisco. She and her husband
Speaker 3: a corky named Mustard. You're familiar with Mustard, and we
Speaker 3: have eaten at many outdoor restaurants in San Francisco, not many,
Speaker 3: but some over the years. And Mustard is very well behaved,
Speaker 3: doesn't bother anyone, and always draws lots of miles from
Speaker 3: fellow customers. He doesn't leap up, he's very well trained,
Speaker 3: and he's a beautiful Corgi. And the idea on a
Speaker 3: beautiful early fall or late summer or early fall night,
Speaker 3: to be able to take him out and go with
Speaker 3: us to an outdoor restaurant in San Francisco, over that matter,
Speaker 3: an outdoor restaurant in Boston, or an outdoor restaurant anywhere.
Speaker 3: I think is fabulous. Now, I'm sure some of you
Speaker 3: are going to say, hey, what about the dog that
Speaker 3: doesn't behave? Well, I think most dog owners are small
Speaker 3: enough to know that they're dogs in a situation in
Speaker 3: a restaurant, they need to behave They're not going to
Speaker 3: be sitting at the table, They're not going to be
Speaker 3: jumping up on the table. They're probably going to be
Speaker 3: lying down. And I guess if you read this article,
Speaker 3: which I'm not going to read the entire thing to you,
Speaker 3: some of the restaurants not only are friendly to the
Speaker 3: the owners, meaning giving them the opportunity to bring their
Speaker 3: dog with them. Maybe I mean for me to leave
Speaker 3: a dog at home alone when you could take the
Speaker 3: dog with you and and enjoy something. It's it's just
Speaker 3: so such an easy answer. It's a yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 3: in my opinion. Now, some of the restaurants actually provide
Speaker 3: water dishes, you know, you know, just full of water
Speaker 3: for the dog. I think it's fabulous and I think
Speaker 3: it's a way in which dogs can spend more times. Oh,
Speaker 3: humans can spend more times with their dogs. I think
Speaker 3: that humans who have dogs for the most part like
Speaker 3: their dogs. Now, I suspect some of you out there
Speaker 3: might disagree with me, but if you would be kind
Speaker 3: enough to give us a call and let me know
Speaker 3: six one seven, two five four ten thirty or six
Speaker 3: one seven nine three one ten thirty, I would be
Speaker 3: very appreciative. I'd love to know where if I'm in
Speaker 3: the majority on this. I know that people can talk
Speaker 3: about dogs that would misbehave dogs that would bark and
Speaker 3: disturb other people's meals, But most dogs are better behave,
Speaker 3: but better behaved than the little kids at restaurants. I mean,
Speaker 3: if you have a small child, a toddler two three, four,
Speaker 3: five years old, you want to bring them with you
Speaker 3: in a restaurants. You're not going to leave them at
Speaker 3: home in my opinion, And occasionally, obviously kids can have accidents.
Speaker 3: Dogs can have accidents, but it doesn't necessarily mean that
Speaker 3: they're going to destroy your meals. And restaurants can do this.
Speaker 3: They can have areas on a patio where the dogs
Speaker 3: and the owners with dogs sit in one end of
Speaker 3: the one end of the one of the patio, just
Speaker 3: like they used to have smoking sections in restaurants. So
Speaker 3: I just want to open up the phone lines. If
Speaker 3: you had a chance to read the Global article by
Speaker 3: Devra first, it's entitled should you take your dog to dinner?
Speaker 3: She ends up by essentially saying that it's not fear
Speaker 3: of the dogs. I disagree totally. So we're going to
Speaker 3: open up the phone lines. Give us a call six one, seven, two,
Speaker 3: five four to ten thirty six month seven nine three
Speaker 3: one ten thirty. We will be talking at ten o'clock
Speaker 3: about an apparent bit of a change in the presidential race.
Speaker 3: So if you want to talk about Robert F. Kennedy
Speaker 3: Junior's presentation on Friday, the day after the Democratic Convention,
Speaker 3: we can. We can talk about that. But I have
Speaker 3: some sound from Robert F. Kennedy Junior and also from
Speaker 3: his running mate Nicole Nicole Shanahan, and it's pretty clear
Speaker 3: when you listen to what they have to say, what
Speaker 3: they intend to do on Friday. We'll talk about that
Speaker 3: from ten to midnight. But this hour we're going to
Speaker 3: the dogs. Going to the dogs with outdoor dining in Boston,
Speaker 3: and maybe there's some communities elsewhere smaller communities that have
Speaker 3: outdoor dining feel free to let's spread the word back
Speaker 3: on Night's Side right after this.
Speaker 1: Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Speaker 1: Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 3: So I'm still working with my computer here, but I
Speaker 3: think I got it working here. So doing two or
Speaker 3: three things simultaneously sometimes.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: And we are talking about people having an opportunity if
Speaker 3: they choose to take their dog to dinner, sidewalk dining,
Speaker 3: outdoor dining in Boston. They may be doing it elsewhere
Speaker 3: as well. I don't know, but you can join the conversation.
Speaker 3: The only lines that are open right now are six
Speaker 3: one seven nine three one ten thirty. So if you're
Speaker 3: dialing the two five four ten thirty number, you're gonna
Speaker 3: get a busy signal. Please dial six one seven nine
Speaker 3: three ten thirty. The author of the article in The Globe,
Speaker 3: which again brought this issue to my attention deva. First,
Speaker 3: we invited Deffor to join us tonight. Unfortunately she is,
Speaker 3: I believe, on vacation. According to my producer, Uh, she
Speaker 3: basically says this a good idea, even though she has
Speaker 3: a dog. I think it's a great idea. Because I've
Speaker 3: done it. I've never done it in Boston, but I've
Speaker 3: done it in San Francisco with my daughter, her husband
Speaker 3: and their dog, a great quirky named Mustard.
Speaker 2: Gary is in Northbridge. Gary.
Speaker 3: I suspect people are going to have strong feelings on
Speaker 3: this issue, one way or the other.
Speaker 2: What is your feeling?
Speaker 4: Go right ahead, Gary, Hey man, I have been been
Speaker 4: a while, but it's great to talk to you. You know,
Speaker 4: I think all right, to start with, it should definitely
Speaker 4: be up to the restaurant. I don't see why any
Speaker 4: of them right up to the restaurant. It shouldn't be
Speaker 4: town by town. It should be up to them. But
Speaker 4: here's my feeling. I'm a little bit skeptical of this,
Speaker 4: and I'm a dog lover. Some of my best friends
Speaker 4: have four legs, okay, But at the same time, my
Speaker 4: only issue is not really the dog, but rather some
Speaker 4: of the some of the owners. And I know that
Speaker 4: you have faith of the owners. I mean I generally
Speaker 4: do too, But what if it's my one night out
Speaker 4: for the week of the month or whatever it is,
Speaker 4: I'm going to go blow one hundred bucks because that's
Speaker 4: my budget. And now I've got you know, you ever,
Speaker 4: get the family with the kids that are out of
Speaker 4: control and they just don't do anything to the right.
Speaker 4: Absolutely not just adding another layer of potential mayhem at
Speaker 4: the restaurants.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, are you going to ban families with
Speaker 3: young kids from going to the restaurants?
Speaker 2: I don't think you're going to do that.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I mean, an adults only restaurant wouldn't
Speaker 4: be a bad idea of Probably, I.
Speaker 2: Think that's great.
Speaker 3: Look, I think that you should have adult only restaurants,
Speaker 3: to be really honest with you, and I think you
Speaker 3: should have families that cater to both adults as well
Speaker 3: as family members. And I think that that in Boston.
Speaker 3: Basically it gives these restaurants an option, an option to
Speaker 3: have again alfresco, I guess it means outdoors dining, okay.
Speaker 2: Uh, And so it's a choice you go there or
Speaker 2: you don't go there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think that's pretty much. I think people
Speaker 4: will vote with their feet, as they always do on
Speaker 4: those kinds of decisions that businesses make. And at the
Speaker 4: same time, you know, it may be more important for
Speaker 4: one business, but maybe not another business. So some may
Speaker 4: be set up differently with larger outside areas where some
Speaker 4: may not and in the city's probably is I agree
Speaker 4: with you better for the dog, because if you're in
Speaker 4: a city, let's face it, how what is the dog
Speaker 4: really doing as opposed to someone that's got a half
Speaker 4: acre for an acre fenced in and it goes out
Speaker 4: and runs around all day Anyway, Yeah, may not be
Speaker 4: so important to get that dog, you know, out of
Speaker 4: the house and socializing and stuff like that. So it's
Speaker 4: a pretty interesting issue. I guess. I say I would
Speaker 4: try it, but if it became a nuisance, I would
Speaker 4: avoid those.
Speaker 2: Restaurants, right. But it was funny.
Speaker 3: I was I was reading a piece today, I think
Speaker 3: it was in the Globe, might have been in the Herald,
Speaker 3: and it talked about how they target the big chain,
Speaker 3: you know, big store Target, Target everywhere, Minnesota based store.
Speaker 3: They're saying that they are now going to reduce their
Speaker 3: prices because they now believe that customers feel that the
Speaker 3: cost of items at Target, some items are too expensive.
Speaker 3: That's the way the free market system works.
Speaker 2: So people, yeah, go.
Speaker 3: Into Target looking for deals and all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: they're not seeing the deals that they were used to
Speaker 3: five years ago, ten years ago or whatever.
Speaker 2: Are walking out and not buying or not buying as
Speaker 2: much stuff. Target has finally.
Speaker 3: Got the message same way here if a restaurant, no
Speaker 3: one is saying to a community you have to have
Speaker 3: dog friendly restaurants.
Speaker 2: It's just an option.
Speaker 3: It's like in Boston they have, I think a couple
Speaker 3: of I think they still have a couple of cigar bars.
Speaker 3: If you don't like cigar smoke, God, don't go to
Speaker 3: a cigar bar, you know, if you don't if you
Speaker 3: don't like ice cream, don't don't go to an ice
Speaker 3: cream stand.
Speaker 4: Right, I agree with you. Yeah, So, I mean, I
Speaker 4: guess I come down on the Yeah, I for it.
Speaker 4: I'm cautiously optimistic and I'd love to see it in
Speaker 4: some of these places, even in the suburbs where they
Speaker 4: have some nice outside areas, you know, where they they
Speaker 4: you know, may have you know, bands and other things
Speaker 4: stuff like that, where I really don't see it an issue,
Speaker 4: you know, with dogs coming in. But I think that
Speaker 4: the owners will really have to have a little bit
Speaker 4: more policing as to you know, your dog is coming
Speaker 4: and this dog, you know, maybe guys, you don't bring
Speaker 4: your dog back, and that it could put them in
Speaker 4: a tough situation.
Speaker 3: But again that's but again that's up to the restaurant owner.
Speaker 3: If I own a restaurant and I say, you know
Speaker 3: what I'm thinking of doing, I'm thinking of opening up
Speaker 3: and making a dog friendly as a restaurant, I got
Speaker 3: to think it through. What do I do if somebody
Speaker 3: comes in with a dog that that won't stop barking?
Speaker 2: What do I do with the dog?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: That that is snapping it?
Speaker 3: So what you know, whatever, every situation, what do I
Speaker 3: do with the dog that wants to relieve himself on
Speaker 3: someone else's you know?
Speaker 2: I mean you got to deal with that.
Speaker 3: And I think that the dog owners also have to
Speaker 3: say to themselves, Look, if I have a dog that
Speaker 3: is not UH, you know, people friendly, UH is not
Speaker 3: used to activity around him or her, I don't want
Speaker 3: to spoil it for other people, and I don't want
Speaker 3: to spoil it for my dog.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's options. It's just giving people options.
Speaker 3: Gary, I think I've pulled you over to my side
Speaker 3: of the aisle, but I yeah.
Speaker 4: You probably did. I'm a fifty one, got.
Speaker 2: Me all right? Thanks Gary talculator.
Speaker 3: All right, but I so Gary's line opens up that
Speaker 3: six one seven two thirty we also have some lines
Speaker 3: at six one, seven, nine, three thirty. Let me go
Speaker 3: next to Marcel in Boston. Hey, Marcel, what do you
Speaker 3: think of this idea? You live in Boston, I guess.
Speaker 5: Right, Hello, yes I do. I think it's a horrendous idea.
Speaker 2: Don't be ambivalent on me. Tell me what you really think, okay, Yeah.
Speaker 6: And the reason why I think it's a horrendous idea.
Speaker 6: A lot of people own dogs, you know, friendly, they're
Speaker 6: friendly dogs. Yeah, I'm one of them people. I don't
Speaker 6: want your dog sniffing me. I don't want your dog licking.
Speaker 6: People don't control their dogs, you know. And honestly, you're
Speaker 6: violating my space when your dog comes up, licks me,
Speaker 6: sniffs me. You know, it's I don't it's to me that.
Speaker 2: Behave that behavior.
Speaker 3: Marcel should not be tolerated, Okay, at at a at
Speaker 3: any restaurant, anymore than if someone has a three year
Speaker 3: old kid who wants to wander over to your table
Speaker 3: and and pull it your sleeve.
Speaker 5: I take the three year old kid every day, all day,
Speaker 5: you know.
Speaker 2: And the dog and my money's are the dogs?
Speaker 7: Now you live?
Speaker 2: Do you live it? Do you live?
Speaker 3: You said you're in Boston, I don't have to tell
Speaker 3: me about you downtown. Are you in one of the
Speaker 3: downtown neighborhoods?
Speaker 5: No rods?
Speaker 2: Very? Okay, fine, that's fine.
Speaker 3: But what I'm saying is it's up to the it's
Speaker 3: up to the restaurant owners. First of all, they have
Speaker 3: to have an outdoor space. So if you don't have
Speaker 3: an outdoor space, it doesn't work.
Speaker 2: And have you ever owned a dog?
Speaker 5: No, I have it. But I don't get me wrong.
Speaker 3: No, no, I get that, But I gotta be honest
Speaker 3: with you and some dog owners I hope are going
Speaker 3: to agree with me. Dogs become part of your family.
Speaker 5: Oh and I understand it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's tough when you work during the week
Speaker 3: or whatever and you come home and you're gonna go
Speaker 3: out to dinner and it's the middle of the summer
Speaker 3: and the apartment is eighty degrees and the air conditioning
Speaker 3: isn't working. Just to have the ability to find a restaurant,
Speaker 3: you know, it doesn't have to be every restaurant. And
Speaker 3: hopefully dog owners will be smart enough to just as
Speaker 3: if they have kids who are who are not well
Speaker 3: disciplined and who throw little tempered tantrums, you shouldn't bring
Speaker 3: that child to a restaurant, to any restaurant with you,
Speaker 3: because that's going to impact. It's like the person on
Speaker 3: the plane, they can't control the child. Now, a plane
Speaker 3: is a little different, and sometimes people have to fly
Speaker 3: a great distance. They're not going to drive across country,
Speaker 3: and so I'm tolerant to that. But I'm not tolerant
Speaker 3: when you're in a restaurant and you're trying to have
Speaker 3: a meal and enjoy a conversation with someone and some
Speaker 3: kid is screaming two tables over.
Speaker 5: Absolutely absolutely I agree with you, you know, but I
Speaker 5: also have another issue. Sure many years ago, you know,
Speaker 5: just this is just something that happened. I went to
Speaker 5: a barbecue and the person had a dog, right, and
Speaker 5: the dog had fleas.
Speaker 2: Sorry about that.
Speaker 5: I ended up bringing fleas home to my house.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hear you.
Speaker 5: It's just I mean, it's almost like I can go
Speaker 5: to a restaurant, sit next to someone and had bed bugs.
Speaker 5: You know, the chances of the chances, you know. But
Speaker 5: if I can eliminate certain things.
Speaker 3: But see here's I agree with you, by the way
Speaker 3: I want you to. I agree with you, however, with
Speaker 3: this caveat. Yeah, if Let's say there's a hundred restaurants
Speaker 3: within and you know your where you live or where
Speaker 3: you can do. There's probably a hundred restaurants. Well, if
Speaker 3: ten of them turn out to be dog friendly restaurants
Speaker 3: and you're not comfortable dogs, don't go to those restaurants.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, okay. I just wanted to give my opinion. I
Speaker 5: love your opinion.
Speaker 2: Because it's it's a different opinion. Have you called me before?
Speaker 8: No?
Speaker 2: Is this your first time? Yes?
Speaker 5: I have no. No, I have called you. I want
Speaker 5: you to me twenty years ago.
Speaker 3: Oh come on, couldn't I've only been in the air
Speaker 3: here on BZ Radio. I was in TV twenty years ago.
Speaker 5: I made this screw twenty No, no, what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Made the switch here eight seventeen years ago. Plus we're
Speaker 3: starting year eighteen pretty soon, okay.
Speaker 5: All right, well maybe fifteen or so.
Speaker 2: But tive fly, Well, I hope you get back.
Speaker 3: You're a very intelligent, reasonable guy. We had a nice conversation.
Speaker 3: We reached an agreement that we're going to agree to disagree,
Speaker 3: and that's what night side is all about.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, have a wonderful evening.
Speaker 2: Thanks you turn myself talk soon, Okay, have a great one.
Speaker 3: Good night, all right, we got to take news at
Speaker 3: the bottom of the ra of Marcella is an excellent
Speaker 3: phone call. I hope you'll become an excellent phone call.
Speaker 3: We do have still a couple of lines at six one, seven, nine, three, one,
Speaker 3: ten thirty, and there's also a one line at six one, seven, two, five,
Speaker 3: four to ten thirty. We will stop this topic at
Speaker 3: ten o'clock. We are going to go to what I
Speaker 3: think is going to be an interesting development in the
Speaker 3: twenty twenty fourth presidential race, uh later on this week,
Speaker 3: and I want to hear what you think about it.
Speaker 3: But in the meantime, we got Katie and Medford coming up,
Speaker 3: Gale and situate and got some room for you. Do
Speaker 3: you think dogs should be allowed at some restaurants? Not
Speaker 3: every restaurant, not every restaurant.
Speaker 2: But I think I think the idea of having some
Speaker 2: restaurants which your dog friendly is a great idea. I
Speaker 2: think it's a great idea.
Speaker 3: And guess what if a restaurant tries it and it
Speaker 3: doesn't work, they don't have to continue doing it. It's
Speaker 3: as simple as that. It gives We're all in favor
Speaker 3: of choice, right, all sorts of choices coming back on
Speaker 3: night's side, light them up back after this.
Speaker 1: If you're on Nights with Dan Ray, I'm Boston's news Radio.
Speaker 3: Next up, Katie and met for Katie. Where have you been?
Speaker 3: We've been missing you. Go right ahead, Katie.
Speaker 9: Hi HII.
Speaker 7: I listened to you all the time. I just don't
Speaker 7: always get to calls.
Speaker 3: No I know, well, you're always welcome. So what do
Speaker 3: you think about the idea of do you have a
Speaker 3: dog or no?
Speaker 10: I do?
Speaker 7: And I have to say, I think I'm being redundant
Speaker 7: here because you've already said pretty much everything I would say.
Speaker 7: But I'll just reiterate.
Speaker 5: I am a full.
Speaker 7: Proponent of it. If you know, I'm a big I'm
Speaker 7: also a proponent of like personal responsibility. So I believe
Speaker 7: in responsible dog owners knowing what their dog's personality is
Speaker 7: like and what you know, they need to be well
Speaker 7: behaved and they need to have them under control. Other
Speaker 7: than that, yes, I take my dog everywhere I can
Speaker 7: with me, literally, like I base my vacations around her,
Speaker 7: and I base and where we go to eat. I
Speaker 7: kind we choose places that are dogs friendly, and we
Speaker 7: bring her with us everywhere we can.
Speaker 2: Now you're in Medford.
Speaker 3: Are there any other communities besides Boston that have this
Speaker 3: this option available?
Speaker 7: I was wondering the same thing I travel like. I
Speaker 7: know there are places in New Hampshire and Maine, but like,
Speaker 7: I don't know of any around here. I'm sure there are.
Speaker 7: I'd be surprised if there weren't. But the only one
Speaker 7: I know of is that what's it called? That place
Speaker 7: an Everett. It's like a dog it's a dog place,
Speaker 7: but it's a It has like a little food truck
Speaker 7: and a like an alcohol bar inside. Do you know
Speaker 7: what I'm talking about?
Speaker 2: I don't want the dogs drinking, though, Katie.
Speaker 7: I mean, it's such a fun place. I can't remember
Speaker 7: what it's called. It's called like park something I don't remember,
Speaker 7: but it's in Everett and Bark or something.
Speaker 2: That's what it should be called park and Bark or something.
Speaker 7: But like that.
Speaker 3: Hopefully them will be able to call and tell us
Speaker 3: about it. But I just I dogs, and people who
Speaker 3: do not own dogs do not understand they are.
Speaker 2: Part of your family.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 7: She is my Yep, she is my family. And to
Speaker 7: you know, to reiterate what you and I don't remember.
Speaker 7: The gentleman's name. But I would choose the dogs over
Speaker 7: a toddler any day of the week. Any day, like
Speaker 7: when I'm in a restaurant, I can't stand hearing a
Speaker 7: screaming child. I'll take I'll take a dog any day.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, I think again, it comes down to the parents
Speaker 3: or the owner of the dog or the parent of
Speaker 3: the child. They have to make sure that their their
Speaker 3: child or their dog is capable of sitting quietly and
Speaker 3: enjoying what. However, whatever they're doing, it's nice if the
Speaker 3: restaurant would provide them with a little uh you know,
Speaker 3: bowl of water at least, particularly to cool them off.
Speaker 3: It's if it's outside. But again, I'm with you. I've
Speaker 3: been on airplanes where you're on a flight cross country
Speaker 3: and you listen to a child screaming yell and you
Speaker 3: realize that, hey, you know, the kids don't understand the
Speaker 3: air pressure in their ears and that's what they're reacting.
Speaker 5: To, right, you know, and everything.
Speaker 2: At some point, if they have.
Speaker 3: Children, they need to fly somewhere to you know, go
Speaker 3: see a grandparent or something, and that's part of it.
Speaker 3: But I just think the option should be available, and
Speaker 3: I want to hear for some more dog owners. Katie,
Speaker 3: I love when you call. I hope you'll continue to
Speaker 3: call the program, And thanks.
Speaker 2: So much for listening.
Speaker 7: Thank you, have a good night YouTube.
Speaker 2: Thanks very much.
Speaker 3: Let me go next to Gail and situate another favorite
Speaker 3: caller of mine. Hi, Gail, how are you Dan?
Speaker 11: So glad to hear your voice again. I'm glad you're
Speaker 11: back from Italy.
Speaker 2: Oh I've been back now for a week and a half.
Speaker 3: Come on, I'm I'm in full stride here, Katie or Gaiale,
Speaker 3: I should say full stride, go right ahead.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 11: It must have been so hot there though every day.
Speaker 2: Was a couple of days were over one hundred.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 11: I would not be able to survive that. Okay. I'm
Speaker 11: for the idea of dogs at a restaurant like they
Speaker 11: do in Paris. They and some Paris restaurants they allowed
Speaker 11: dogs to, you know, sit with you and eat. But
Speaker 11: there's got to be I think this should be there's
Speaker 11: a caveat there should be. There are certain breeds that
Speaker 11: are just playing aggressive, like I don't think that it
Speaker 11: would work if if owner brought in a pit bull
Speaker 11: or a Rottweiler, maybe some German shepherds, I mean some
Speaker 11: breeds are just you know, because if you have a
Speaker 11: if there's a dog fight breaking out with another dog,
Speaker 11: you know, then the restaurant's liable, and then you look
Speaker 11: at a lawsuit.
Speaker 3: Yeah, a restaurant can make rules. I mean a restaurant.
Speaker 3: I don't think that they're going to be able to
Speaker 3: be hit with a civil rights violation if they say
Speaker 3: certain breeds are excluded or dogs, if they say dogs
Speaker 3: over let's say, you know, thirty five pounds are excluded.
Speaker 2: There's ways in which they can work around that.
Speaker 3: And I don't think that that, you know, the pit
Speaker 3: bulls can form a class action civil rights lawsuit or
Speaker 3: enjoyed with the German shepherds and the Doberman ventures.
Speaker 11: Well didn't you get see? But see, the thing is
Speaker 11: there's some pit bull owners that are adamant about they're
Speaker 11: pit bulls going wherever they want and doing allowing the
Speaker 11: dog to do whatever they want. I thought Gary brought
Speaker 11: up a good point. It's just said, you know, you're
Speaker 11: taking a chance with certain breeds imolved. I'm involved in rescue.
Speaker 11: I'm an involved in dog rescue, and I volunteered in
Speaker 11: an animal shelter for ten years. I dealt with all kinds.
Speaker 2: Of vice are you. Are you involved ironically in the
Speaker 2: animal shelter in Situate per chance?
Speaker 11: I volunteered there for one year.
Speaker 3: My daughter adopted or rescued a beautiful, beautiful Corgi about
Speaker 3: two years old old named Mustard, who is just the
Speaker 3: best dog you could ever mess He's a believable friendly dog.
Speaker 3: And yeah, downstairs in the morning he will howl with
Speaker 3: the light to greet you. He literally, that's believable. It's unbelievable.
Speaker 3: And then he herds people. They're a herding dog, and
Speaker 3: he doesn't want people to leave the room he wants
Speaker 3: he likes it when everyone is in the house in
Speaker 3: the same room.
Speaker 11: Oh so yeah, yeah, they're real people dogs Corgi. They're
Speaker 11: great dogs.
Speaker 2: Well and thanks to the situation, the Situate Animal Rescue,
Speaker 2: because they were sheltered, they were great.
Speaker 11: And oh they they they are by the book. I
Speaker 11: highly recommend such your animal shelter. I've been there for
Speaker 11: a year volunteering. I see how they work. They they're
Speaker 11: good people. It's run by really good people and I
Speaker 11: can't say that form most shell. By the way, Dan,
Speaker 11: I have to apologize about a month ago. This is
Speaker 11: before you went to your trip to Italy. There was
Speaker 11: one show you had I had to do with Biden
Speaker 11: or Biden's speech, and I can't remember what the question was,
Speaker 11: but it was something about taking the tone or what
Speaker 11: was it? What do you think the tone was? And
Speaker 11: it was a rough night for you. You're getting some callers
Speaker 11: of you're getting some callers that were driving you, you know, bonkers,
Speaker 11: And I remember you saying, oh, I need to go,
Speaker 11: I need to take a break and screen because I
Speaker 11: think I think I irritated you. But I have to apologize.
Speaker 11: I didn't mean to irritate you.
Speaker 3: I don't think you. I don't think you've ever irritated me.
Speaker 3: And guess what I'm like, I have a great ability
Speaker 3: to compartmentalize. You know, calls that bothered me that you
Speaker 3: could be one of five calls, and it could be
Speaker 3: three of the five calls were irritating. My problem is
Speaker 3: the callers we kind of have a conversation with and
Speaker 3: they just want to make a speech, and they kind
Speaker 3: sometimes you'll hear me, Soto Voce.
Speaker 2: Say, I don't think she can hear me. I mean
Speaker 2: that seriously. So therefore I don't want to just interrupt
Speaker 2: someone and I let them.
Speaker 11: Go, Okay, this is one particular night that it was.
Speaker 11: I guess you're getting some calls that that I guess
Speaker 11: we're not favorable in some way. But I got to
Speaker 11: be honest with you.
Speaker 3: I prefer callers many respects, Gale, who would disagree with me.
Speaker 2: They can be more challenging and more fun. What I
Speaker 2: don't like.
Speaker 3: Is the people who call up and somehow want to
Speaker 3: try to take over the show, because I can't allow that, Okay, right,
Speaker 3: people who are going to tell me how to run
Speaker 3: the show. And we've you know, we've we've basically decided
Speaker 3: that there's a few callers who we don't need on
Speaker 3: the show anymore. You know, there was one caller who
Speaker 3: we used to be very nice to and he tried
Speaker 3: to drop an.
Speaker 11: F bomb on us one night and oh boy, we.
Speaker 3: Have a ten second delayed didn't get through. But at
Speaker 3: that point, I'm saying to myself, this is a person
Speaker 3: who we can no longer trust.
Speaker 2: But you are always welcome at nightside, Gail. You know that.
Speaker 3: Okay, I gotta imagine having a bad call with you.
Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
Speaker 3: I'm past my break. I gotta let you run. And
Speaker 3: by the way, even though the room trip was hot.
Speaker 3: We saw some amazing things. We went to the Colisee
Speaker 3: and went to the Vatican. We saw all the sites
Speaker 3: like that. We hit the ruins of Pompeii, which was
Speaker 3: an extraordinary, nice, extraordinary. It was hot, but we were
Speaker 3: prepared for it and it was just amazing.
Speaker 2: The Colisee.
Speaker 3: No, I don't think so, no, we we we took
Speaker 3: our time. We had professional tour guides with Collette. They
Speaker 3: did a really good job, to be honest with you,
Speaker 3: so we we we had a great time.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll talk soon. Okay, please call more off and
Speaker 2: I miss you, Thank you so much.

Speaker 9: I don't mind at all.
Speaker 8: Having dogs in a restaurant with me. In fact, I
Speaker 8: like the idea that I can go over and maybe
Speaker 8: pet a dog, and maybe I carry treats with me
Speaker 8: and give it a treat and so forth. I disagree
Speaker 8: with you, the other gentleman in the cartel.
Speaker 9: I like you looking at me.
Speaker 8: I think happiness is a wet, sloppy kiss. So I'm
Speaker 8: all in favor of having dogs. And I was on
Speaker 8: a patio in Maine and bar harber and with a
Speaker 8: friend of mine, and she said, well, I don't think
Speaker 8: the boy and help would like these dogs, you know,
Speaker 8: And I said I would mind if they were right
Speaker 8: in the middle of the restaurant. And she said to me, well,
Speaker 8: what if dog hair blows into your food? And I
Speaker 8: said to her, well, I don't see the difference between
Speaker 8: getting a dog here in your mouth because dog here
Speaker 8: blow into your food again, a dog here in your
Speaker 8: mouth because you have kiss the dog. She said, I
Speaker 8: don't hug dogs and I don't kiss dogs. But that's
Speaker 8: sing she's had a conversion experience and now she's become
Speaker 8: a dog lover.

Speaker 10: of chicken, and I told him, why don't you open them,
