00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:07.040
<v Speaker 2>Boston's news radio. All right, Dan, thanks a lot. Final

3
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:09.160
<v Speaker 2>hour here, folks, gonna have some fun. What are you

4
00:00:09.240 --> 00:00:12.839
<v Speaker 2>thankful for? And as I said, you know, we're thankful

5
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:17.960
<v Speaker 2>for turkey, We're thankful for our family for the most part.

6
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:26.039
<v Speaker 2>Some days no, thankful for good health, thankful for our lives.

7
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:29.320
<v Speaker 2>So but let's have some fun with us. So there

8
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:33.439
<v Speaker 2>is a list out one hundred and eleven unique things

9
00:00:33.479 --> 00:00:37.520
<v Speaker 2>to be thankful for. Some of these I buy into,

10
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:40.359
<v Speaker 2>some I don't, But please let me know what you're

11
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:42.960
<v Speaker 2>thankful for it with if there's something unique to it,

12
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:49.840
<v Speaker 2>that'd be great. At six, one, the satisfying pop when

13
00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:56.000
<v Speaker 2>opening a new jar of peanut butter. Hmm, there's something

14
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:59.920
<v Speaker 2>to that. This is this one definitely a synchronized trap

15
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:04.519
<v Speaker 2>light when you're running late, no doubt. And number three

16
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:09.480
<v Speaker 2>here I think is impossible finding the perfectly ripe avocado.

17
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:13.079
<v Speaker 2>I can never nail it. I buy avocados at the store.

18
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:16.239
<v Speaker 2>When I use them, they're either too old and too

19
00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:19.000
<v Speaker 2>smushy and a little black on the inside, a little dark,

20
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:24.599
<v Speaker 2>you know, or they're hard, they're they're not ripe. I

21
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:32.840
<v Speaker 2>can never get the perfectly ripe avocado. A friend who

22
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:37.319
<v Speaker 2>sends you hilarious memes on tough days. You know, I'm good.

23
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:42.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm good. That's not no. Now, I'm the guy that

24
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:45.359
<v Speaker 2>sends hilarious memes to other people. I have been doing

25
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:49.400

190
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:50.000
<v Speaker 2>for them tomorrow. Steve Deconzo from Dixfield, Maine, where I

191
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:53.840
<v Speaker 2>grew up, played for this baseball team Dirego High School.

192
00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:58.320
<v Speaker 2>They also had a Pine Tree team pine Tree League

193
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:00.879
<v Speaker 2>in what's in the town would play each other in

194
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:04.399
<v Speaker 2>the summer. So, guys, it wasn't guys are twenty thirty

195
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:06.879
<v Speaker 2>forty years old. They're still playing baseball. It's one of

196
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:10.759
<v Speaker 2>the oldest baseball leagues in the war in the country.

197
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:14.720
<v Speaker 2>And it would be you know, Mexico Ruveneta team. Uh

198
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:17.679
<v Speaker 2>squeak the point random run for a team. How about

199
00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:21.720
<v Speaker 2>that for a nickname? The Palmer Boys ran the Mexico team,

200
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:27.120
<v Speaker 2>which I played for. And then Bitsy Ionta, how's that

201
00:10:27.159 --> 00:10:30.960
<v Speaker 2>for a name. Bitsy Iona pitched for dier Ago and

202
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.559
<v Speaker 2>I hit my first disfield and I had a home

203
00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:36.480
<v Speaker 2>run off him. He was probably sixty years old, and

204
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:38.600
<v Speaker 2>he would throw like a thirty five mile an hour

205
00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:42.000
<v Speaker 2>float across and you could easily miss it. You could

206
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:44.159
<v Speaker 2>screw yourself into the ground. And I just got lucky

207
00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:46.240
<v Speaker 2>and I hit it short ports down the right field

208
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:50.399
<v Speaker 2>line to it in twenty Yeah, it was great. I mean,

209
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.759
<v Speaker 2>the only home run I ever hit off the great

210
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:56.840
<v Speaker 2>Bitchy Iona. Back through things we're thankful for. I am

211
00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:01.000
<v Speaker 2>thankful for a bitchy Iana thirty five mile an hour

212
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:06.279
<v Speaker 2>whatever it was. I can't call it a fastball, but

213
00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:10.759
<v Speaker 2>I was thankful for that the highlight of my athletic career.

214
00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:13.480
<v Speaker 2>And I could not run. He's right. I mean I

215
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.279
<v Speaker 2>remember the guy almost threw me out from centerfield. I

216
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:19.000
<v Speaker 2>just couldn't run. And we would play these things in practice,

217
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:20.960
<v Speaker 2>chase the rabbit. We had to catch the guy in

218
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.360
<v Speaker 2>front of you. I was always the last one, but

219
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:33.279
<v Speaker 2>I could talk. I could talk the satisfaction of peeling

220
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:37.840
<v Speaker 2>the protective film off a new electronic device. There's something

221
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:42.639
<v Speaker 2>to that, yeah, you could, Yeah, there is definitely something

222
00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:45.320
<v Speaker 2>to that. Then another thing that I'm really thankful for

223
00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:47.840
<v Speaker 2>that I've never ever been able to shake because it's

224
00:11:47.840 --> 00:11:50.399
<v Speaker 2>not good for you. There's nothing like a good French

225
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:55.120
<v Speaker 2>onion dip. I mean there really isn't. And anything. You

226
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:58.080
<v Speaker 2>can dip anything into a French onion dip. You can think,

227
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:00.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, you can fool yourself, like, I'll use some celery.

228
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.240
<v Speaker 2>I'll put some celery in it. I'm like, I'm eating healthy,

229
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:05.639
<v Speaker 2>but I'm meaning French onion dip, which is loaded with

230
00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:09.480
<v Speaker 2>salt and calories. That's why I couldn't run fast. I

231
00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:11.919
<v Speaker 2>hate too much French onion dip. Man. I would inject

232
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:18.519
<v Speaker 2>that thing into my veins. Oh nothing better roll around

233
00:12:18.600 --> 00:12:20.679
<v Speaker 2>naked it. Oh well, I'm not gonna roll around naked

234
00:12:21.039 --> 00:12:26.039
<v Speaker 2>getting I'm getting a little punchy here. This one. I

235
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:28.799
<v Speaker 2>will tell you this. The feeling of freshly washed sheets

236
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.720
<v Speaker 2>against your skin. Here's the one thing you gotta spend

237
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:38.519
<v Speaker 2>money on. Thread count. Thread count matters. You can have

238
00:12:38.559 --> 00:12:42.759
<v Speaker 2>a crappy mattress. You can you can have a crappy mattress.

239
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.600
<v Speaker 2>But if you have a high thread crount thread count, man,

240
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:52.879
<v Speaker 2>you will feel like a gazillion dollars. You will feel

241
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:57.879
<v Speaker 2>like royalty. Now, the higher the thread count, the more

242
00:12:57.879 --> 00:13:01.200
<v Speaker 2>of the money. But you will feel like you are

243
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:04.080
<v Speaker 2>on air because I have sheets with a high thread count.

244
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:07.159
<v Speaker 2>My mattress sucks. But my wife and I we can't

245
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:09.559
<v Speaker 2>agree on it. And I know you can get those

246
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:11.799
<v Speaker 2>beds where you're like one side goes up, one side

247
00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:13.480
<v Speaker 2>goes down. We're just too lazy. We just don't deal

248
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:19.080
<v Speaker 2>with it. But I'm telling you, man, plus you get.

249
00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:21.399
<v Speaker 2>You know, the best mattress in my house belongs to

250
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:23.720
<v Speaker 2>my daughter. I think we played like ninety nine bucks

251
00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:26.440
<v Speaker 2>for it from my mattress discount store. Its so frustrating.

252
00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:33.879
<v Speaker 2>The red count matters. The red count matters. Yep. This

253
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:36.559
<v Speaker 2>out of rain tapping on your window at night, that

254
00:13:36.679 --> 00:13:39.600
<v Speaker 2>annoys the hell out of me. Some people find it relaxing,

255
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:41.919
<v Speaker 2>like they have to listen to on their phone. They'll

256
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:44.679
<v Speaker 2>put like rain drops. No, that means I got to

257
00:13:44.679 --> 00:13:47.120
<v Speaker 2>take a leak in like twenty minutes. And it's bad

258
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:50.879
<v Speaker 2>enough at night. I mean at night, I'm peeing all

259
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:55.639
<v Speaker 2>the time. I don't get any sleep, so I'm gonna

260
00:13:55.639 --> 00:14:01.480
<v Speaker 2>listen to rain. No God, I'll never get I'll never

261
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:07.960
<v Speaker 2>get to bed. Okay, media shower, smell them a new

262
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:12.120
<v Speaker 2>booker magazine? Do they even make magazines anymore? A co

263
00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:14.720
<v Speaker 2>worker always remembers your cost. We order that. I haven't

264
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:17.080
<v Speaker 2>had a coworker in five years, so that doesn't happen.

265
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:24.519
<v Speaker 2>A mentor who challenges your thinking, no, I don't want

266
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.399
<v Speaker 2>to be challenged. Just nod your head and say yes,

267
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:31.600
<v Speaker 2>I agree, and that's it. I don't need to be challenged.

268
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:36.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't need any debates. This I find awesome. I

269
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:40.639
<v Speaker 2>am thankful for the way a campfire crackles and pops.

270
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:43.720
<v Speaker 2>There is nothing more relaxing than that. And if you

271
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:47.720
<v Speaker 2>want to jump in six seven thirty when a fire,

272
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:54.279
<v Speaker 2>you get a fire and you could just you smell

273
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:56.320
<v Speaker 2>it right. The smell is just right, and you can

274
00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:58.799
<v Speaker 2>hear the crackling and the glow and the warmth. I'm

275
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:01.799
<v Speaker 2>going to fall asleep just thinking of it now. That

276
00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:05.879
<v Speaker 2>you could put on your phone. Remember I think it

277
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:09.799
<v Speaker 2>was MSG in New York. They would on Christmas Day

278
00:15:10.039 --> 00:15:13.879
<v Speaker 2>they would just put they would have put like a fireplace.

279
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:17.399
<v Speaker 2>This is before the NBA started playing games on New

280
00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:20.559
<v Speaker 2>Year's On Christmas Day, they would just have a fireplace going.

281
00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:23.600
<v Speaker 2>You put that up on your phone. I totally get

282
00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:29.200
<v Speaker 2>into that. Yeah, I could be thankful for that. You

283
00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:32.000
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm thankful for And the only way you

284
00:15:32.039 --> 00:15:36.120
<v Speaker 2>can do it is you have to You have to

285
00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:41.320
<v Speaker 2>make an appointment for yourself. I have a back porch.

286
00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.200
<v Speaker 2>I go and sit on my back porch. I leave

287
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:48.639
<v Speaker 2>the phone inside. I just sit there like twenty minutes

288
00:15:49.200 --> 00:15:56.279
<v Speaker 2>nothing nothing, no phone, no list, no food, nothing, just

289
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:05.039
<v Speaker 2>sit there silence. You will be thankful for silence if

290
00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:07.519
<v Speaker 2>you think to do it. The problem is you never

291
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:10.720
<v Speaker 2>think to do it, you know what. It's also sometimes

292
00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:13.480
<v Speaker 2>when you're driving in the car, you always think something

293
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:17.360
<v Speaker 2>has to be on, and of course you can keep

294
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:21.000
<v Speaker 2>it on WBZ radio, but in case, maybe you need

295
00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:23.279
<v Speaker 2>to check out a little bit, shut everything off and

296
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:29.320
<v Speaker 2>just drive. At first, it's weird. For like a couple

297
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:32.879
<v Speaker 2>of minutes, you have like anxiety You're gonna be jonesing

298
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:35.840
<v Speaker 2>because I'm not listening to a podcast about a murder,

299
00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:39.919
<v Speaker 2>or I'm not listening to a Celtics game, or you know,

300
00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:42.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm not listening to Dan Ray on Night's side. Tell

301
00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:47.200
<v Speaker 2>me everything about politics and what's going on in the world,

302
00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:50.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, or Ben in the afternoon doing you can

303
00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:53.200
<v Speaker 2>get past not listening to something for a couple of

304
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:59.480
<v Speaker 2>minutes and just silence. Then the dts start to go away,

305
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:06.039
<v Speaker 2>the shakes start to settle down, and you find yourself

306
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:11.119
<v Speaker 2>enjoying it. I'm telling you it should twenty minutes of

307
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:14.039
<v Speaker 2>silence a day. And I know they call it meditation,

308
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:17.000
<v Speaker 2>you can call it whatever you want. I just call

309
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:30.240
<v Speaker 2>it twenty minutes of just nothing nothing. Also things, I'm

310
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:39.319
<v Speaker 2>thankful for a coworker who's a pro at diffusing office drama. No, no, no, no.

311
00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:42.279
<v Speaker 2>And this is something I believe in. I you know,

312
00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:46.640
<v Speaker 2>when I was in the workplace, probably the last five years,

313
00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:50.680
<v Speaker 2>everybody had to be polite, and you should be polite

314
00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:54.279
<v Speaker 2>and you should respect others. But that doesn't mean you

315
00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:59.119
<v Speaker 2>can't disagree with people. The best ideas in the workplace

316
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:06.480
<v Speaker 2>come out of impassioned discussion. Now, some HR gurus will

317
00:18:06.519 --> 00:18:12.480
<v Speaker 2>say that's fighting. No, it's not fighting. Disagreement is good,

318
00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:22.319
<v Speaker 2>impassion discussion, different ideas, not being afraid of being penalized

319
00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:26.079
<v Speaker 2>for having a different idea or taking a stand or

320
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:33.759
<v Speaker 2>saying no, that won't work. But you can't do that now,

321
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:36.359
<v Speaker 2>I mean you can't. I remember, oh my god, a

322
00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:42.839
<v Speaker 2>Comcast Sports then somebody we did one of those things

323
00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:49.240
<v Speaker 2>where we had a consultant come in and you know,

324
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:51.599
<v Speaker 2>in my opinion, consultants are just that people that have

325
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:54.720
<v Speaker 2>they don't they can't find a job. I mean, so

326
00:18:54.759 --> 00:18:57.799
<v Speaker 2>many consultants in the media business over the years. I remember,

327
00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:00.119
<v Speaker 2>I go, so, what did you do before? Well, I

328
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:01.880
<v Speaker 2>was with this company and with this company, and then

329
00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:04.400
<v Speaker 2>I decided to start my own consultancy firm. You mean,

330
00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:12.440
<v Speaker 2>after you get fired. So this consultant like took a poll.

331
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:16.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, I said, we're not Russia, this isn't communism,

332
00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:21.400
<v Speaker 2>and everybody said that. It was Comcast Sportsnet at the time.

333
00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Everybody said we should all be involved in having input

334
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:28.079
<v Speaker 2>into the show. So we go into the conference room

335
00:19:28.079 --> 00:19:32.799
<v Speaker 2>at noon or one like twenty people would be in

336
00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:43.200
<v Speaker 2>there from audio director's production camera, all giving input on

337
00:19:43.200 --> 00:19:46.039
<v Speaker 2>what the sports topics of the day should be. I

338
00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:50.559
<v Speaker 2>thought I was going to lose my freaking mind. I was,

339
00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:52.839
<v Speaker 2>I said, do I tell anybody how to run a camera?

340
00:19:53.720 --> 00:20:00.279
<v Speaker 2>I would sit down with our producer, Jeff capatasto minutes

341
00:20:00.319 --> 00:20:03.279
<v Speaker 2>will come up with the show. Boston Sports is not hard.

342
00:20:03.640 --> 00:20:05.839
<v Speaker 2>Doing sports for a living is not hard. That I

343
00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:07.720
<v Speaker 2>have friends of mine and is Oh my god, I

344
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:10.079
<v Speaker 2>had to write three sports columns this week. Oh you

345
00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:13.920
<v Speaker 2>poor baby. Oh I had to go cover training camp.

346
00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, that's like digging a ditch. I had to

347
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:23.119
<v Speaker 2>stay late because the game went to overtime. Seriously, seriously,

348
00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:27.039
<v Speaker 2>or like I need an hour to come up with

349
00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:30.920
<v Speaker 2>what we need to talk about at six. Really, just

350
00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:32.880
<v Speaker 2>listen to what people are talking about in the streets.

351
00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:36.359
<v Speaker 2>Listen to what the buzz is. You gotta have The

352
00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:38.839
<v Speaker 2>Patriots suck, the Celtics are on a role. I mean

353
00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:44.720
<v Speaker 2>you just you know, it's it's, it's, it's it. Should

354
00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:46.880
<v Speaker 2>Pritcher be the sixth Man of the Year for the NBA.

355
00:20:47.039 --> 00:20:50.359
<v Speaker 2>It's not hard, but we have to have this big

356
00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:53.039
<v Speaker 2>meeting with everybody in there, and a couple of times

357
00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:55.640
<v Speaker 2>I blew my stack and it's not good. But I

358
00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:59.160
<v Speaker 2>would be like, I can't take this. These other people

359
00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:02.000
<v Speaker 2>don't know what they're talking about. Let's just the people

360
00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:03.640
<v Speaker 2>who are on the air and the people who produce

361
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:09.839
<v Speaker 2>the shit. Let's do it. So No, I don't I

362
00:21:09.880 --> 00:21:15.359
<v Speaker 2>don't care. I think that disagreement is good. Disagreement is

363
00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:17.680
<v Speaker 2>good in the workplace, and I don't think it happens enough.

364
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:22.880
<v Speaker 2>You always have to be worried about everybody's feelings. Plus,

365
00:21:23.000 --> 00:21:30.240
<v Speaker 2>let's come on, let's be real. Office drama is fun.

366
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:34.839
<v Speaker 2>It's fun, it's gossip. Do you know who's sleeping with who?

367
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Just see them make it out in the parking lot

368
00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:45.960
<v Speaker 2>of the office. Drama works. It gets you through the day.

369
00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:49.839
<v Speaker 2>Did you know that this person has a two pain?

370
00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Or?

371
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:55.759
<v Speaker 2>Okay, your call's coming up next. Thanks, you're thankful for what?

372
00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:59.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm thankful for office drama. When I actually worked in

373
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:06.240
<v Speaker 2>an I loved it. Phenomenal got you through the day. Man,

374
00:22:06.680 --> 00:22:11.079
<v Speaker 2>Nothing like good office gossip and drama. Gossip's the best,

375
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:13.119
<v Speaker 2>isn't it? As long as it doesn't really hurt anyone.

376
00:22:13.880 --> 00:22:16.279
<v Speaker 2>There's nothing better than good gossip and good office drama.

377
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:20.079
<v Speaker 2>Andrew and Rick, What you're thankful for? Coming up next

378
00:22:20.119 --> 00:22:21.200
<v Speaker 2>to WBZ.

379
00:22:24.079 --> 00:22:29.000
<v Speaker 4>You're on night side with on WBZ, Boston's news radio.

380
00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:32.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay, welcome back, Eary tangling for day here. We're here

381
00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:35.680
<v Speaker 2>to twelve midnight tonight. What we are thankful for? You

382
00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:42.480
<v Speaker 2>need things, you know, things like the rustling of leaves

383
00:22:42.480 --> 00:22:47.400
<v Speaker 2>in a gentle breeze. Eh, that's kind of corny. This

384
00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:50.319
<v Speaker 2>was weird. The feeling of sandpaper under your fingertips. No,

385
00:22:50.400 --> 00:22:53.400
<v Speaker 2>I've never been thankful for that. That kind of hurts,

386
00:22:53.440 --> 00:23:01.759
<v Speaker 2>doesn't it. I don't understand that this is cool, the

387
00:23:01.799 --> 00:23:04.079
<v Speaker 2>crunch of snow beneath your boots on a winter morning.

388
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:08.640
<v Speaker 2>That there's nothing better for me in this es. I

389
00:23:08.720 --> 00:23:10.920
<v Speaker 2>used to do this and main a lot. You go

390
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:13.920
<v Speaker 2>in the back of our house after their snowfall and

391
00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:15.440
<v Speaker 2>you go out. We could go into the woods. We

392
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:19.559
<v Speaker 2>had snowmobile trails and snowshoe trails or whatever, and all

393
00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:22.480
<v Speaker 2>the trees will be covered with snow. Just silence. You

394
00:23:22.519 --> 00:23:26.160
<v Speaker 2>can tell I'm big on silence. That's my thing. You

395
00:23:26.279 --> 00:23:28.680
<v Speaker 2>just go in the woods, the snow is sitting on

396
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:32.480
<v Speaker 2>the trees, and you just walk in silence. You can

397
00:23:32.519 --> 00:23:34.720
<v Speaker 2>almost hear the snow in the trees. Okay, now I'm

398
00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:38.559
<v Speaker 2>losing my mind. What's Andrew in Boston got for me? Andrew,

399
00:23:38.559 --> 00:23:40.519
<v Speaker 2>you're up on wb Z.

400
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:43.720
<v Speaker 3>Hey, Jerry, thank you for taking my call, Thanks for calling.

401
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:48.039
<v Speaker 5>Thankful for a lot. To be honest, My wife is

402
00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:50.519
<v Speaker 5>on the mend after a long health issue. So very

403
00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:53.720
<v Speaker 5>thankful there. In spite of being on the road for

404
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:57.759
<v Speaker 5>fourteen hours in counting going back and forth between Boston

405
00:23:57.799 --> 00:24:01.559
<v Speaker 5>and New York for my small business, I am especially

406
00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:04.039
<v Speaker 5>thankful for hearing your voice on the radio after a

407
00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:07.359
<v Speaker 5>long time. I think the uh, I think the last

408
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:10.240
<v Speaker 5>time I heard your voice in the radio was the

409
00:24:10.359 --> 00:24:13.200
<v Speaker 5>w E I Days and uh, I think the segment

410
00:24:13.319 --> 00:24:17.799
<v Speaker 5>was you reading some erotic fan fiction. I forget the

411
00:24:18.319 --> 00:24:20.359
<v Speaker 5>pen name, but oh.

412
00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:25.480
<v Speaker 2>My god, yeah that was with Kirkie and Jerry. Oh god, well,

413
00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:30.559
<v Speaker 2>well what was it? I you know what, I had

414
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:33.599
<v Speaker 2>a ball doing that. Uh, it was fun. It was

415
00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:36.440
<v Speaker 2>a lot of fun. Well listen, happy, thanksgimming, safe travels,

<v Speaker 2>those up.

419
00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:46.839
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, if you can find them, that'll be that'll be

420
00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:47.519
<v Speaker 5>some good replay.

421
00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:51.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, thank you, Andrew. We'll see you later. Yeah. We

422
00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:54.359
<v Speaker 2>did romance. We did Romance behind the Glass. That was

423
00:24:54.400 --> 00:24:58.720
<v Speaker 2>one with our producers. Oh my god, that was hilarious. Yeah.

424
00:24:59.519 --> 00:25:00.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, every once in a while you got to

425
00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:02.960
<v Speaker 2>sit back in life and you're going to remember the

426
00:25:03.000 --> 00:25:05.359
<v Speaker 2>good things you've done. We focus on the pot We

427
00:25:05.400 --> 00:25:08.240
<v Speaker 2>focus on the negative way too much. We always dwell like,

428
00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:09.960
<v Speaker 2>oh I should have done this, I should have done that,

429
00:25:10.039 --> 00:25:12.640
<v Speaker 2>I should have as opposed to hey, remember when I

430
00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:15.799
<v Speaker 2>did this, Remember when I did that. Yes, I'm going

431
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:18.960
<v Speaker 2>through a bit of a phase. I'm talking about sitting

432
00:25:19.039 --> 00:25:22.000
<v Speaker 2>in silence on my back porch, taking silent walks in

433
00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:25.039
<v Speaker 2>the woods after a snowfall, and now trying to think positively.

434
00:25:25.319 --> 00:25:26.960
<v Speaker 2>You could tell I've been out of the media for

435
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:30.640
<v Speaker 2>a while. I will tell you this, after working in

436
00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:33.079
<v Speaker 2>Boston media for thirty years, which was a great career.

437
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:37.200
<v Speaker 2>When I stopped working it, I was not as grumpy.

438
00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:42.359
<v Speaker 2>I was not. I was happier. I didn't I didn't

439
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:46.480
<v Speaker 2>have as much money, but I certainly wasn't looking for

440
00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:50.119
<v Speaker 2>an argument every time I walked around the corner. Rick

441
00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:52.160
<v Speaker 2>and Bell, Ricor you're up on WBZ.

442
00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Darry Happy, Thanks killing you too.

443
00:25:55.079 --> 00:25:55.279
<v Speaker 2>Rick.

444
00:25:56.920 --> 00:25:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm great, you know, I'm just thinking of a couple

445
00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:03.480
<v Speaker 1>of things. I'm great before. How about kitchen sinks to

446
00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:07.400
<v Speaker 1>drum on, because I'm really good at that. No joke said.

447
00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:09.480
<v Speaker 1>You said you were good at it too. You know,

448
00:26:09.640 --> 00:26:15.839
<v Speaker 1>one of these days we'll have a battle. I do

449
00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:17.960
<v Speaker 1>it on my work too. You know. If you hear

450
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the pounding, it's good stuff. And the other thing is

451
00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:28.599
<v Speaker 1>I like some good beer, especially brown, and you don't

452
00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:32.759
<v Speaker 1>really find really good ones. But there is one called

453
00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:36.000
<v Speaker 1>black Hog brown. If I don't want to be maybe

454
00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I shouldn't be announced. You can't do that. Black Dog

455
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:42.599
<v Speaker 1>brown is a pound you can you can find.

456
00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:46.799
<v Speaker 2>Do you like? Do you like a hint of molasses

457
00:26:46.799 --> 00:26:49.799
<v Speaker 2>in your beer? No? Really, I can't.

458
00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:52.720
<v Speaker 1>I wanted it can be nutty brown. This is black

459
00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:55.640
<v Speaker 1>dog brown is a grenoble brown. And I wanted to

460
00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:58.720
<v Speaker 1>sell something keep making it, but it's it's uh black

461
00:26:58.759 --> 00:27:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Hog is that Connecticut company and it's it's Granola bron

462
00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:05.640
<v Speaker 1>It's fantastic. So I like that. I like English style

463
00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:10.200
<v Speaker 1>browns too, and even even German. But molasses I really

464
00:27:10.240 --> 00:27:12.640
<v Speaker 1>don't go over that. I don't go vanilla for vanilla

465
00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:16.319
<v Speaker 1>in the porter. I kind of like it straight you

466
00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:17.440
<v Speaker 1>like it straight ahead?

467
00:27:17.640 --> 00:27:18.880
<v Speaker 2>Were you a Newcastle guy?

468
00:27:20.079 --> 00:27:22.640
<v Speaker 1>I was, once upon a time, and about twenty years

469
00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:26.480
<v Speaker 1>ago they I loved Newcastle, But probably around twenty years

470
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:29.960
<v Speaker 1>ago or nineteen years ago they changed it and it's

471
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:32.160
<v Speaker 1>not as good anymore. I'm sorry to say.

472
00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I loved it. I used to live up in

473
00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:36.319
<v Speaker 2>portsandth New Hampshire, out at the old Faery landing Man

474
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:39.119
<v Speaker 2>in the Newcastle Brown Ale. That was my thing that

475
00:27:39.319 --> 00:27:40.960
<v Speaker 2>was well done. I loved it.

476
00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, no, it was great. Don't you think they've it's changed.

477
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:47.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, I got to be honest with you. I stopped drinking,

478
00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:52.039
<v Speaker 2>so I don't know my memory. I know I'm no

479
00:27:52.119 --> 00:27:52.759
<v Speaker 2>fun anymore.

480
00:27:53.559 --> 00:27:56.920
<v Speaker 1>No, it's it's that I pulled back on mine because

481
00:27:56.920 --> 00:27:59.680
<v Speaker 1>I need to sing and keep the voice and shape

482
00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:03.119
<v Speaker 1>and decide. You're gonna drink too much. You're just chasing

483
00:28:03.160 --> 00:28:05.079
<v Speaker 1>your teel because you've got to put so much water

484
00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:06.799
<v Speaker 1>in your body. You can never catch up as you

485
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:08.880
<v Speaker 1>drink too much. And I'm older, so.

486
00:28:09.279 --> 00:28:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, you ever know when you get those signs in life?

487
00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:15.960
<v Speaker 2>For lent, I gave up drinking and I just I'm

488
00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:18.640
<v Speaker 2>gonna go. I'm gonna go. I dropped like fifteen pounds

489
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:20.599
<v Speaker 2>and I got a job on TV. And a year

490
00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:22.480
<v Speaker 2>later I was working at Channel four and I met

491
00:28:22.480 --> 00:28:24.920
<v Speaker 2>my wife and I said, you know there's something here,

492
00:28:25.720 --> 00:28:27.839
<v Speaker 2>There's a sign, there's a size.

493
00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:29.680
<v Speaker 1>That was it? Then you quit?

494
00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? That I quit? I mean because the thing I

495
00:28:32.319 --> 00:28:34.240
<v Speaker 2>liked beer. Man, I used to drink a ton of beer.

496
00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:38.000
<v Speaker 2>And if you're on television, not so much now. The

497
00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:41.279
<v Speaker 2>great thing about media now is it really doesn't matter

498
00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:44.079
<v Speaker 2>what you look like, it matters what you say. It's true.

499
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:46.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean you could. I mean it's really true. I

500
00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:49.079
<v Speaker 2>mean you look on all kinds. Because there's so many

501
00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:52.240
<v Speaker 2>different cable outlets. You have people all shapes and sizes.

502
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:56.279
<v Speaker 2>Even though they the beautiful people still get the gigs,

503
00:28:56.680 --> 00:29:00.079
<v Speaker 2>but it's much more open. But when I started, you

504
00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:03.240
<v Speaker 2>had to be svelt. You had to you know, have

505
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:06.119
<v Speaker 2>a suit on. You had to look good. So you know,

506
00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:08.240
<v Speaker 2>you couldn't if you went ten pounds overweight. Man, you

507
00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:10.480
<v Speaker 2>were in trouble. So that's why I quit. And then

508
00:29:10.519 --> 00:29:11.039
<v Speaker 2>I never.

509
00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:13.319
<v Speaker 1>Looked back, you know, and I'm sure you looked here,

510
00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:15.400
<v Speaker 1>but you know that you knew I have to lose

511
00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:17.640
<v Speaker 1>even more because the TV is going to put ten

512
00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:21.519
<v Speaker 1>extra pounds on me. Just like that, dude, it sucks it.

513
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:25.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure you look good. That's you better. Thank God

514
00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:28.079
<v Speaker 1>every day though, you got your wife And now that

515
00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:31.440
<v Speaker 1>is a that's that. Wow. I got to think about that.

516
00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:33.960
<v Speaker 1>I really got to digest that one. That Thanks for

517
00:29:34.000 --> 00:29:37.839
<v Speaker 1>that story. But if I just have a little bit

518
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:40.480
<v Speaker 1>of beer and I keep the body, I gotta I

519
00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:42.680
<v Speaker 1>gotta walk on my marshmallow. I got to get out

520
00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:45.720
<v Speaker 1>and and uh, you know, work out a little bit,

521
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:48.200
<v Speaker 1>just a little bit, and just eat better. And when

522
00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:49.640
<v Speaker 1>I eat better, I always feel better.

523
00:29:49.960 --> 00:29:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Well you do, always, yeah, you always do. I mean

524
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:54.720
<v Speaker 2>the thing, the thing of it is is when I stopped,

525
00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:56.359
<v Speaker 2>when I gave up the beer, I didn't miss it,

526
00:29:56.559 --> 00:30:00.160
<v Speaker 2>you know. And you still have to have a cheap day.

527
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:02.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, you can't go cold turkey, you know. I mean,

528
00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:03.880
<v Speaker 2>if you're gonna eat, you still have to have a

529
00:30:03.920 --> 00:30:06.240
<v Speaker 2>cheat day on a Friday. So give it a five

530
00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:06.640
<v Speaker 2>days a.

531
00:30:06.599 --> 00:30:09.799
<v Speaker 1>Week, mean drink well, no exactly, and no exactly. If

532
00:30:09.799 --> 00:30:12.279
<v Speaker 1>you don't have a cheat day, You're gonna say to

533
00:30:12.359 --> 00:30:14.839
<v Speaker 1>hell with it. I'm going back to my old ways completely.

534
00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:18.480
<v Speaker 1>But if you allow yourself to cheat once or twice

535
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:21.279
<v Speaker 1>a week, you will you will sustain, you'll do the

536
00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:24.200
<v Speaker 1>sort of awaken I don't know. Dan talks about waking

537
00:30:24.279 --> 00:30:26.799
<v Speaker 1>one AA. It sounds like it works quite a bit.

538
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:29.240
<v Speaker 1>But I think it's based on the idea that you

539
00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:31.759
<v Speaker 1>know that maybe the order I'm thinking it's the order

540
00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:34.480
<v Speaker 1>of what you eat, and it's and it's watching your calories.

541
00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:36.640
<v Speaker 1>But you have to have a little bit of a

542
00:30:36.720 --> 00:30:39.319
<v Speaker 1>cheat day or you're never gonna you're never gonna stick

543
00:30:39.359 --> 00:30:39.680
<v Speaker 1>with it.

544
00:30:39.960 --> 00:30:42.319
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you, Rick, you know my cheat day. I

545
00:30:42.400 --> 00:30:44.559
<v Speaker 2>make love to a bag of cool ranch to ritos

00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:45.480

551
00:30:57.440 --> 00:31:02.279
<v Speaker 2>Good stuff, Rick calling in here six seven, two, five, four,

552
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:06.160
<v Speaker 2>ten thirty things you are thankful for this? A cozy

553
00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:08.559
<v Speaker 2>blanket coming out of the dryer warm, that's pretty cool.

554
00:31:09.680 --> 00:31:11.960
<v Speaker 2>A roommate who gives you a workout, who gives you

555
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:14.680
<v Speaker 2>workout motivation. And I just talked to Rick about working out.

556
00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:17.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, I don't need to hear that from other people.

557
00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:21.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't need I haven't had. My roommate is my wife,

558
00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:24.039
<v Speaker 2>and she's actually never done this to me. But when everybody,

559
00:31:24.279 --> 00:31:27.960
<v Speaker 2>if anybody ever says to me, you should work out,

560
00:31:29.119 --> 00:31:32.319
<v Speaker 2>not a good thing. No, no, And I do work out,

561
00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:35.000
<v Speaker 2>but I don't need to hear it. Or when you're

562
00:31:35.039 --> 00:31:38.119
<v Speaker 2>working out, there's nothing worse when somebody tries to give

563
00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:41.160
<v Speaker 2>you advice. Like if I'm right now, I'm a big

564
00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Orange theory guy. So I just go in focused and

565
00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:49.319
<v Speaker 2>I just do my thing and leave and you talk

566
00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:51.279
<v Speaker 2>to you people talk to you. You, I'll talk back

567
00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:52.960
<v Speaker 2>to them, and you can be social and so forth.

568
00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:56.839
<v Speaker 2>Don't want a lot of advice, don't want a lot

569
00:31:56.880 --> 00:31:59.960
<v Speaker 2>of advice. Keep those elbows up. Oh yeah, kiss my butt.

570
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:03.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm paying leave me alone, and I don't get that

571
00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:06.640
<v Speaker 2>at the place I go. They're all pretty cool, you know,

572
00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:11.279
<v Speaker 2>they're all pretty cool. The feel of gentle rain on

573
00:32:11.319 --> 00:32:16.319
<v Speaker 2>your face. That is annoying as hell. That is now,

574
00:32:16.400 --> 00:32:19.400
<v Speaker 2>that is dumb. That is so damn annoying. I'm gonna

575
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:23.119
<v Speaker 2>sit there and I'm gonna get no. No, no, no, no,

576
00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:26.920
<v Speaker 2>no no that. I can't. I can't. I can't get

577
00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:32.359
<v Speaker 2>into that at all. The feeling of a gentle massage.

578
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:34.200
<v Speaker 2>I've never had a bad massage, let me tell you

579
00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:38.680

00:33:13.839 --> 00:33:16.240
<v Speaker 3>it's thin, and you take the rocks and skip it

592
00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:17.759
<v Speaker 3>and it makes the musical phones.

593
00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:21.519
<v Speaker 2>I've never done that. Run that by me again.

594
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:25.359
<v Speaker 3>When ice is really thin, like on a pond. Yeah,

595
00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:28.759
<v Speaker 3>it's like that first freeze. If you go out with

596
00:33:29.240 --> 00:33:32.079
<v Speaker 3>b walk a small one and you throw the walks

597
00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:35.640
<v Speaker 3>across the water as they bounce on the ice, it'll

598
00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:36.759
<v Speaker 3>make musical phones.

599
00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:39.079
<v Speaker 2>That's awesome. I've never heard that. I have to look

600
00:33:39.119 --> 00:33:42.359
<v Speaker 2>online to see that because I bet you that's really cool.

601
00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:46.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it sounds like being boing ban but it's all

602
00:33:46.680 --> 00:33:48.720
<v Speaker 3>different tones depending on the size of the rock.

603
00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:51.359
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, I am getting so I am getting so

604
00:33:51.480 --> 00:33:54.640
<v Speaker 2>eclectic in my old age. That's a great one, Christian, buddy.

605
00:33:54.759 --> 00:33:56.920
<v Speaker 3>But that's really cool. I mean it's something that you

606
00:33:57.000 --> 00:33:57.480
<v Speaker 3>never offer.

607
00:33:57.799 --> 00:33:59.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, that's something you never think of. Listen, have

608
00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:04.000
<v Speaker 2>a good time Thanksgiving. I appreciate the callet. I gotta

609
00:34:04.039 --> 00:34:07.839
<v Speaker 2>try that one. I mean, as you get older, it's

610
00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:09.960
<v Speaker 2>those are the things in life. I mean, I'm really

611
00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:11.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't mean to get deep on you, man, but

612
00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:16.519
<v Speaker 2>sometimes silent. I'm just thankful for the silence. This from

613
00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:18.840
<v Speaker 2>a guy who makes a lot of noise. Things. You're

614
00:34:18.840 --> 00:34:24.039
<v Speaker 2>thankful for a local food bank that helps those in need. Absolutely, absolutely,

615
00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:25.639
<v Speaker 2>you know. I did this with my family at the

616
00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:29.400
<v Speaker 2>Pine Street Inn. Just sign up, go over, serve a meal.

617
00:34:31.039 --> 00:34:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it,

618
00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:35.679
<v Speaker 2>do it Pine Street in or any of your local shelters,

619
00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:40.079
<v Speaker 2>especially if you got kids. Take the kids, show how

620
00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:44.760
<v Speaker 2>they can help. Go do it, go do it, absolutely

621
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:47.840
<v Speaker 2>and they will see and they will realize how they

622
00:34:47.880 --> 00:34:51.719
<v Speaker 2>need to be thankful for things. A shower head with

623
00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:54.639
<v Speaker 2>an adjustable water pressure. Okay, here's the big debate in

624
00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:57.800
<v Speaker 2>my house. I want to rain shower those things in

625
00:34:57.840 --> 00:35:01.800
<v Speaker 2>the middle. My wife just likes to regular shower. In

626
00:35:01.800 --> 00:35:06.960
<v Speaker 2>a heartbeat, it's way too much money, it's totally extravagant.

627
00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:09.360
<v Speaker 2>But those showers with like the rain shower on the

628
00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:12.920
<v Speaker 2>top and like jets coming out of the wall so

629
00:35:12.960 --> 00:35:18.800
<v Speaker 2>you get nailed like every which way. It's phenomenal. I'd

630
00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:21.039
<v Speaker 2>be thankful for that. I will tell you right now.

631
00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:26.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm thankful that it seems to be we're getting some

632
00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:29.880
<v Speaker 2>peace in the Middle East. There's people that are talking

633
00:35:29.920 --> 00:35:35.639
<v Speaker 2>and there could be some a treaty between Palestine and Israel.

634
00:35:35.920 --> 00:35:37.880
<v Speaker 2>Very thankful for that. Now, if we can just do

635
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:42.280
<v Speaker 2>the same thing with the Ukraine, it's still it never

636
00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:46.639
<v Speaker 2>ceases to amaze me. The more advanced we get, the

637
00:35:46.719 --> 00:35:50.559
<v Speaker 2>smarter we get, the more intelligent we get, and people

638
00:35:50.639 --> 00:35:53.000
<v Speaker 2>still kill people. It just doesn't make any sense to me.

639
00:35:54.840 --> 00:35:58.000
<v Speaker 2>We have cures for diseases, we have vaccinations, we've weathered

640
00:35:58.039 --> 00:36:02.760
<v Speaker 2>the storm of a pandemic. We do all these incredible things.

641
00:36:03.679 --> 00:36:11.320
<v Speaker 2>But yet because of somebody's religious belief or nationality, people

642
00:36:11.360 --> 00:36:18.039
<v Speaker 2>want to kill them. I just it, just it. Yeah,

643
00:36:18.159 --> 00:36:21.239
<v Speaker 2>I can't understand it. Boy, tangway, that took a turn.

644
00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:24.880
<v Speaker 2>How'd you go from talking about showers to that? Wow?

645
00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:32.519
<v Speaker 2>Who that's a little nuts. The simple joy of a

646
00:36:32.559 --> 00:36:35.400
<v Speaker 2>well organized desk. You know what, If I have a

647
00:36:35.440 --> 00:36:40.719
<v Speaker 2>well organized desk, that means I'm not doing crap. When

648
00:36:40.760 --> 00:36:44.559
<v Speaker 2>everything's a mess on my desk and I got papers everywhere,

649
00:36:44.679 --> 00:36:47.039
<v Speaker 2>and I got pens, and I got empty coffee cups,

650
00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:54.960
<v Speaker 2>that's progress. If everything's neat. My wife's desk is immaculate,

651
00:36:55.079 --> 00:36:56.559
<v Speaker 2>and she does a ton of work, so I really

652
00:36:56.599 --> 00:36:59.440
<v Speaker 2>can't say anything there. But there's sometimes if I saw

653
00:36:59.480 --> 00:37:01.840
<v Speaker 2>somebody's day that's a little too neat, I'm going, what

654
00:37:01.840 --> 00:37:05.199
<v Speaker 2>are you really doing? What are you really doing here?

655
00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:13.239
<v Speaker 2>What are you hiding? What are you hiding? Kid? Yeah,

656
00:37:14.000 --> 00:37:16.239
<v Speaker 2>the desk is too neat. They're not getting enough done.

657
00:37:16.400 --> 00:37:21.880
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you that right now. The joy of singing

658
00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:26.119
<v Speaker 2>along if it's not gonna come sounds of burt a

659
00:37:26.320 --> 00:37:29.800
<v Speaker 2>birch chripping on the suthing. Yeah, I like that. The

660
00:37:29.840 --> 00:37:32.679
<v Speaker 2>aroma of a delicious meal cooking in the kitchen depends

661
00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:37.400
<v Speaker 2>what the meal is. I mean, come on, if it's

662
00:37:37.440 --> 00:37:39.480
<v Speaker 2>fiddle heads like my mom used to cook fiddle heads,

663
00:37:40.719 --> 00:37:44.840
<v Speaker 2>or should or do some pickling? Oh my god, the

664
00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:49.000
<v Speaker 2>pickles are good after they were pickled, obviously. If they're

665
00:37:49.039 --> 00:37:50.719
<v Speaker 2>not pickled, it's a cucumber. But you know what I'm

666
00:37:50.719 --> 00:37:54.639
<v Speaker 2>trying to say, But the pickling process, my mom would

667
00:37:54.639 --> 00:37:56.679
<v Speaker 2>have this big thing on the stove, a big pot

668
00:37:57.000 --> 00:38:00.320
<v Speaker 2>at about eight jars eight ball jars in there with

669
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:04.159
<v Speaker 2>all caught up cucumbers and vinegar and brown sugar, and

670
00:38:04.199 --> 00:38:06.760
<v Speaker 2>that would last for hours. Oh, my god, I would oh,

671
00:38:06.880 --> 00:38:14.280
<v Speaker 2>vomit boo boo. A hug that conveys love and support

672
00:38:14.320 --> 00:38:16.760
<v Speaker 2>without words, and somebody doesn't stab me in the back.

673
00:38:16.800 --> 00:38:20.239
<v Speaker 2>There I could do that. I could understand as well.

674
00:38:20.880 --> 00:38:25.880
<v Speaker 2>So there you have it. Things were thankful for. I

675
00:38:25.880 --> 00:38:28.599
<v Speaker 2>gotta tell him. My health club has these massage chairs.

676
00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:34.360
<v Speaker 2>They're awesome. It's so expensive, though. I would buy one

677
00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:36.679
<v Speaker 2>in a heartbeat. My brother in law has one, but

678
00:38:36.719 --> 00:38:39.840
<v Speaker 2>they never use it. I never understand it. I should

679
00:38:39.880 --> 00:38:41.400
<v Speaker 2>just go over and like get a key and go

680
00:38:41.440 --> 00:38:43.599
<v Speaker 2>in and start using it myself. But they have these

681
00:38:43.639 --> 00:38:46.000
<v Speaker 2>massage chairs where you put it on for like ten

682
00:38:46.039 --> 00:38:49.639
<v Speaker 2>minutes and it just rolls through your body back and forth.

683
00:38:49.880 --> 00:38:51.960
<v Speaker 2>And there's only supposed to be a ten minute limit.

684
00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:55.480
<v Speaker 2>But if there's nobody waiting in line, I just like

685
00:38:55.559 --> 00:38:59.079
<v Speaker 2>fall asleep and I could pull the shade like in

686
00:38:59.119 --> 00:39:01.440
<v Speaker 2>the area I'm in and no one will see me,

687
00:39:01.480 --> 00:39:05.760
<v Speaker 2>and I just fall asleep for thirty minutes. Boom knocked out.

688
00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Thankful for that man, Thankful for that, Thankful for Rob,

689
00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Thankful for Marita. But doing a great job putting the

690
00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:21.679
<v Speaker 2>show together tonight here on WBC. So it's going to

691
00:39:21.760 --> 00:39:25.840
<v Speaker 2>be interesting. We have Thanksgiving coming up, got some folks

692
00:39:25.880 --> 00:39:30.039
<v Speaker 2>coming down from Maine, and right now, my big decision

693
00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:34.599
<v Speaker 2>is to put marshmallows on the sweet potatoes? Do I

694
00:39:34.679 --> 00:39:37.920
<v Speaker 2>do that? I mean, if you don't like them, you

695
00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:40.639
<v Speaker 2>can take them off. Because if you put marshmallows on

696
00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:43.960
<v Speaker 2>the sweet potatoes, that makes the sweet potatoes sweet sweet potatoes.

697
00:39:44.039 --> 00:39:46.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if they need it. Maybe a little

698
00:39:46.719 --> 00:39:51.320
<v Speaker 2>brown sugar is all you need. And there is nothing

699
00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:55.280
<v Speaker 2>wrong with having your Thanksgiving, cadude. There's nothing wrong with

700
00:39:55.320 --> 00:39:57.599
<v Speaker 2>going to Whole Foods or Sudbury Farms or Roach Brothers

701
00:39:58.079 --> 00:40:01.280
<v Speaker 2>or any of the great super mar the big Why

702
00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:05.639
<v Speaker 2>whoever does it here in Massachusetts? There's nothing wrong with that.

703
00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:11.639
<v Speaker 2>I have friends of mine. They got like thirty people coming.

704
00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:14.840
<v Speaker 2>They're baking the bird, they're cooking all the food. Man,

705
00:40:14.880 --> 00:40:18.599
<v Speaker 2>you got to really want to cook to do that.

706
00:40:19.639 --> 00:40:24.559
<v Speaker 2>And you know, since I stopped working, which has been phenomena.

707
00:40:24.639 --> 00:40:26.199
<v Speaker 2>By the way, a lot of people say, like, I

708
00:40:26.239 --> 00:40:28.639
<v Speaker 2>go crazy. I'm not. I'd go crazy if I didn't work. No,

709
00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:35.079
<v Speaker 2>you wouldn't, trust me, you wouldn't. Working is highly overrated.

710
00:40:37.320 --> 00:40:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Doing what you want is not. There's a difference just

711
00:40:40.360 --> 00:40:42.639
<v Speaker 2>because you're not working here, you're not employed, doesn't mean

712
00:40:42.639 --> 00:40:45.239
<v Speaker 2>you're just sitting on your asshole day feeling sorry for yourself.

713
00:40:45.599 --> 00:40:47.480
<v Speaker 2>You're out doing stuff that you want to do. So

714
00:40:47.519 --> 00:40:51.599
<v Speaker 2>what I tried to do was become a good cook.

715
00:40:52.639 --> 00:40:56.239
<v Speaker 2>Because my wife is working. You know, we had somebody

716
00:40:56.239 --> 00:41:00.400
<v Speaker 2>for the kids. Let that person go. Unfortunately I became

717
00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:03.639
<v Speaker 2>the nanny. I became the manny. I became the I

718
00:41:03.760 --> 00:41:06.079
<v Speaker 2>can't cook and I don't want to cook. And there's

719
00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:09.280
<v Speaker 2>something romantic about being a great cook. There is like

720
00:41:09.639 --> 00:41:12.679
<v Speaker 2>having a glass of wine and cooking up this great

721
00:41:12.719 --> 00:41:15.559
<v Speaker 2>meal and tossing the food around and you got the

722
00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:18.840
<v Speaker 2>music going. And you know what happens in every movie,

723
00:41:19.480 --> 00:41:22.239
<v Speaker 2>you know, the guy has the girl over and he's

724
00:41:22.280 --> 00:41:26.880
<v Speaker 2>cooking up some great recipe and everything is perfect. And

725
00:41:26.920 --> 00:41:29.400
<v Speaker 2>it's only in the movies because when I try to

726
00:41:29.400 --> 00:41:31.480
<v Speaker 2>do it, I mean when I cooked dinner at home

727
00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:35.440
<v Speaker 2>and my wife brings out the hummus and the carrots,

728
00:41:36.960 --> 00:41:39.440
<v Speaker 2>and my daughter will bring out the peb and j

729
00:41:40.559 --> 00:41:45.400
<v Speaker 2>should I feel insulted. The last thing I want to

730
00:41:45.440 --> 00:41:49.519
<v Speaker 2>do is cook a freaking turkey. Does that make me

731
00:41:49.599 --> 00:41:54.639
<v Speaker 2>a communist? No, it makes me a man who can't cook.

732
00:41:56.440 --> 00:41:59.039
<v Speaker 2>The last thing I want to do is cook a turkey.

733
00:42:01.599 --> 00:42:03.159
<v Speaker 2>It's bad enough. I think I got to reheat it.

734
00:42:03.199 --> 00:42:05.159
<v Speaker 2>I pick it up at Hoples, bringing it sliding it.

735
00:42:06.000 --> 00:42:08.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm thankful for all of you that listen tonight. I'm
