00:00:01.399 --> 00:00:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Way live from the Window World

2
00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:07.599
<v Speaker 1>to Night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.

3
00:00:09.359 --> 00:00:12.439
<v Speaker 2>Okay, we're all done on sleep issues. That's fine, We're

4
00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:14.839
<v Speaker 2>gonna move on to the second topic of the night.

5
00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:17.600
<v Speaker 2>There was an article which I'm sure most of you

6
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:21.960
<v Speaker 2>saw today that Stop and Shop has decided they're going

7
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:25.359
<v Speaker 2>to close a bunch of stores, a group of stores

8
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:31.359
<v Speaker 2>in the Massachusetts area other states as well. The stores

9
00:00:31.359 --> 00:00:34.439
<v Speaker 2>that are being closed is one down in Brockton, one

10
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:39.560
<v Speaker 2>in Raynham, one in Halifax, one on the Boston Turnpike,

11
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:43.399
<v Speaker 2>which I assume is Route nine in Shrewsbury, one on

12
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Neaedham Street in Newton, which I guess is a new

13
00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:49.799
<v Speaker 2>version of Stop and Shop it's called be Fresh. Okay,

14
00:00:51.520 --> 00:01:00.759
<v Speaker 2>one in Springfield and one in Worcester on West Point Street,

15
00:01:01.880 --> 00:01:05.879
<v Speaker 2>and then one in Pembroke. So there's eight Stop and

16
00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Shop stores now. Stop and Shop used to be a

17
00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:12.920
<v Speaker 2>family owned company. It is no longer a family owned company.

18
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:20.239
<v Speaker 2>It is now a Dutch supermarket company that owns the chain.

19
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:23.879
<v Speaker 2>Stop and Shop president Gordon reid So, according to an

20
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:26.359
<v Speaker 2>article in the Boston Herald, said the company decided to

21
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:30.480
<v Speaker 2>close the stores to create quote a healthy base for

22
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.560
<v Speaker 2>the future growth of our brand. Where do you come

23
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:39.879
<v Speaker 2>up with those? You talk about euphemisms, and you talk

24
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:44.000
<v Speaker 2>about pr companies coming up. We're going to close the

25
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:47.400
<v Speaker 2>stores so we'll have a healthy base for the future

26
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:52.280
<v Speaker 2>growth of our brand. You're going to take your brand

27
00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:58.599
<v Speaker 2>out of eight communities in Massachusetts. So apparently the company

28
00:01:58.640 --> 00:02:02.959
<v Speaker 2>that owns Stop and Shop up is a hold del Hayes.

29
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Two words a ho l d a hold. Anyone who

30
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.560
<v Speaker 2>knows Dutch can explain to me what this means. And

31
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.719
<v Speaker 2>the second word is del Hayes d e l h

32
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:21.000
<v Speaker 2>ai Ze. A Dutch supermarket company that owns the chain,

33
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:25.319
<v Speaker 2>said that in May that it planned to close some

34
00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:30.199
<v Speaker 2>Stop and Shop locations to strengthen the brand. Yeah, I

35
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:34.439
<v Speaker 2>get that right. That is just perfect consultant speech. The

36
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:37.360
<v Speaker 2>company said it wants to build new stores and remodel

37
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:41.159
<v Speaker 2>the remaining ones, increase the number of store brand products

38
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:48.000
<v Speaker 2>it offers, and reduce prices. Well here's the problem. Here's

39
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:51.560
<v Speaker 2>the problem. You may not live in any of these

40
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:58.960
<v Speaker 2>communities Brockton, rain m Halifax, Shrewsbury, Newton, Springfield, Worcester or Pembroke,

41
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:03.879
<v Speaker 2>but a lot of people do. And the more supermarkets

42
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:09.800
<v Speaker 2>that disappear in these various communities, the less choice people

43
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.840
<v Speaker 2>will have, and the less choice that people have, the

44
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.800
<v Speaker 2>more likelihood that the remaining stores will be able to

45
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:21.080
<v Speaker 2>run and sell their products without a whole lot of competition.

46
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:27.039
<v Speaker 2>Meaning if it's just basic economics one on one, and

47
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:30.560
<v Speaker 2>you don't have to be a Harvard economics major to

48
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:34.039
<v Speaker 2>understand this. But if within a period of within a

49
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, a circle of four or five miles,

50
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:41.319
<v Speaker 2>you have three or four different store brands, and you

51
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:44.680
<v Speaker 2>can visit each of those brands, whether it's a Roach

52
00:03:44.759 --> 00:03:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Brothers or a Shaws, or Shaws now has Shaws and Star,

53
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:55.759
<v Speaker 2>which confuses me as well. My favorite remains market Basket. Unfortunately,

54
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:58.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm not yet a location right now where there's a

55
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:02.319
<v Speaker 2>market Basket nearby, but I'll tell you I noticed the

56
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:05.680
<v Speaker 2>price differential in market Basket. Every time I go in there,

57
00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:11.199
<v Speaker 2>I saved money. There's one that when I'm you know,

58
00:04:11.280 --> 00:04:15.479
<v Speaker 2>back in home in the Boston area, I go to

59
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:18.279
<v Speaker 2>that market Basket in Wallfam a little bit out of

60
00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.120
<v Speaker 2>the way, I will admit that, but well worth the drive,

61
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:24.720
<v Speaker 2>well worth the effort, particularly when I'm going over to

62
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:28.120
<v Speaker 2>pick up a bunch of items, you know, and to

63
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:32.360
<v Speaker 2>stock up. But so I'd love to know. Just open

64
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:37.079
<v Speaker 2>this up here. There's some statistics out which are stunning.

65
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:40.279
<v Speaker 2>I just didn't do a whole lot of researcher on

66
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:45.079
<v Speaker 2>this today, but I did some. And US retailers, so

67
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:48.879
<v Speaker 2>this includes supermarkets as well as big box stores, are

68
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:53.399
<v Speaker 2>closing stores at a record pace in twenty twenty four.

69
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:57.360
<v Speaker 2>This is an article written by CNN about a week

70
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.079
<v Speaker 2>ago October twenty fifth. Will get into more than that,

71
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:04.560
<v Speaker 2>get into more of that. Major retailers, I guess. Family

72
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:08.040
<v Speaker 2>Dollar Store, not one that I necessarily go to, has

73
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:10.920
<v Speaker 2>announced six hundred and seventy seven store closings this year.

74
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Walgreen is closing two hundred and fifty nine stores, Big

75
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:20.199
<v Speaker 2>Lots is closing three hundred and sixty. Another company which

76
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:23.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm unfamiliar with, L Flooring, is shutting down entirely. Major

77
00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:27.399
<v Speaker 2>retailers have announced six one hundred eighty nine store closures

78
00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:31.560
<v Speaker 2>so far this year, already outpacing last year's total of

79
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:36.120
<v Speaker 2>five hundred and fifty three. According to coresite research, chains

80
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:38.399
<v Speaker 2>are on track to close the highest number of stores

81
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:41.720
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty four than in any year since twenty twenty,

82
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:47.319
<v Speaker 2>when the COVID nineteen pack pandemic decimated the industry. So

83
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:52.000
<v Speaker 2>if there's a store that you've lost lately, I would

84
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:53.879
<v Speaker 2>love to hear from you on it. And also I'd

85
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:57.160
<v Speaker 2>like to we talk about this, and it's a popular topic.

86
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:01.920
<v Speaker 2>What stores do you rely upon. I am not a

87
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:07.839
<v Speaker 2>digital shopper. That's just me. That's just me. There were

88
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:10.920
<v Speaker 2>people out there and I have family members who loved

89
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:14.120
<v Speaker 2>the shop digitally, and there is a convenience about that.

90
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:19.600
<v Speaker 2>The problem is I recently went to a Target store

91
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:23.600
<v Speaker 2>and I had to buy products that I wanted to

92
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:27.800
<v Speaker 2>look at. I don't like buying products, getting them in

93
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:30.759
<v Speaker 2>the mail, and if the products are not what I

94
00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:34.439
<v Speaker 2>want or they don't fit, I'm in a bit of

95
00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:36.480
<v Speaker 2>a buying because I'm not somebody who wants to spend

96
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:39.040
<v Speaker 2>a lot of time going back to the to the

97
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:42.000
<v Speaker 2>post office and sending a product back and not knowing

98
00:06:42.040 --> 00:06:44.480
<v Speaker 2>if I'm going to get refunded, et cetera. So I

99
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:48.519
<v Speaker 2>tend to be a brick and mortar person, which maybe

100
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:53.279
<v Speaker 2>makes me an achronism, but maybe not. Six one seven, two, five,

101
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:57.319
<v Speaker 2>four ten, thirty six one seven, nine, three one ten thirty.

102
00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Are you bemoaning as I am, the the lessening number

103
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:06.839
<v Speaker 2>of not only supermarkets, but but stores, stores that you

104
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:09.240
<v Speaker 2>can walk into and you can look at a product,

105
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:11.079
<v Speaker 2>you can hold them in your hand, and you can

106
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:13.399
<v Speaker 2>decide whether you want to buy or not. That's what

107
00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.040
<v Speaker 2>we'd be talking about. Right after the news break, joined

108
00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:18.920
<v Speaker 2>the conversation on Nightside.

109
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:24.279
<v Speaker 3>It's night Side with Boston's News Radio.

110
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:29.600
<v Speaker 2>All right, that's interesting that we're talking about a hardware

111
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:33.399
<v Speaker 2>store closing again. You need these small stores. I think

112
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:38.560
<v Speaker 2>it's it's just incredible, just incredible. Let's let's see what

113
00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:41.079
<v Speaker 2>people think here. I'm gonna go first off to JD

114
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:44.480
<v Speaker 2>and Lemonster. JD. Welcome to Nightside. Thank you for calling in.

115
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.879
<v Speaker 2>Go right ahead, Hi, JD Dan, How you doing. I'm

116
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.160
<v Speaker 2>doing just great, appreciate your call. We're talking about the

117
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:55.240
<v Speaker 2>disappearance of again, in this case, eight Stop and Shop stores,

118
00:07:55.279 --> 00:07:57.680
<v Speaker 2>but it could apply to a lot of stores. And

119
00:07:57.759 --> 00:07:59.639
<v Speaker 2>I love the fact that now we find out that

120
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:03.600
<v Speaker 2>Stop and Shop is owned by a company, a Danish company.

121
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:06.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's not even owned by an American company anymore.

122
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:12.319
<v Speaker 4>Well, I didn't know that until tonight, but did I Yeah,

123
00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:15.959
<v Speaker 4>I got agree with you. Market Basket religious is I

124
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.680
<v Speaker 4>don't know how anybody could compete with them. Their prices

125
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:21.759
<v Speaker 4>are so good and their product is really just the best.

126
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:29.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, I want I want competition, okay, because I think it,

127
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:33.279
<v Speaker 2>uh it's important for all of us uh to to

128
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:37.679
<v Speaker 2>have choice. But but yeah, I mean, market Basket is

129
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:40.360
<v Speaker 2>a terrific store, There's no question about that.

130
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:41.159
<v Speaker 5>Uh.

131
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:43.200
<v Speaker 2>At every and I go out of my way to

132
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.879
<v Speaker 2>get there. It's I'm not near. How close are you

133
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:48.399
<v Speaker 2>to a mask market Basket?

134
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:49.559
<v Speaker 6>Well?

135
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:49.840
<v Speaker 7>Uncle?

136
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:52.759
<v Speaker 4>Out here in the Twin Cities, we have two in

137
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:55.759
<v Speaker 4>Fitchburg and Malummas there and then Littleton has one. But

138
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:58.200
<v Speaker 4>there was a Shaws here for a while and that

139
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:02.519
<v Speaker 4>was closed down and was Amazon Fresh, and I guess

140
00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:04.080
<v Speaker 4>that just kind of a went away.

141
00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:10.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I'm not. I'm not a huge fan of Shaws,

142
00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:12.679
<v Speaker 2>to be honest with you. And one of the reasons

143
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:15.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a fan of Shaws, although I have to

144
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:20.320
<v Speaker 2>go to Shaws because it's one of the closer uh one,

145
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:23.759
<v Speaker 2>it's the closest grocery store I have. In order to

146
00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:27.840
<v Speaker 2>save money at Shaws, you have to use their app,

147
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:32.200
<v Speaker 2>and in using the app, it's really the worst app

148
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:34.480
<v Speaker 2>I've ever seen in my life. It's so confusing, and

149
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:37.360
<v Speaker 2>you give up on it, and you can you can

150
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:40.360
<v Speaker 2>go by no, just just lower the prices and give

151
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:44.399
<v Speaker 2>them to everybody. Whether because most older people aren't comfortable

152
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:47.279
<v Speaker 2>using an app, and I don't understand the marketing of

153
00:09:47.320 --> 00:09:50.480
<v Speaker 2>a Shaws why they would force people to use an

154
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:53.320
<v Speaker 2>app which is gonna, which is which is difficult to use.

155
00:09:53.399 --> 00:09:57.039
<v Speaker 2>It's a horrible app. It's just a horrible app. Have

156
00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:02.000
<v Speaker 2>you ever tried to use a a grocery store app to,

157
00:10:02.200 --> 00:10:04.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, to get some some coupons and prices, price

158
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:05.840
<v Speaker 2>price breaks.

159
00:10:07.080 --> 00:10:08.840
<v Speaker 4>So around here, the only time we ever really had

160
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:10.679
<v Speaker 4>to use out of the stores is when the market

161
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:13.600
<v Speaker 4>Basket had their big I wouldn't call it a strike,

162
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:17.480
<v Speaker 4>but when the company was being and the old owners

163
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:19.840
<v Speaker 4>were trying to buy the owners or how that worked.

164
00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:23.120
<v Speaker 4>So we're forced to go to the other stores. And

165
00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:25.960
<v Speaker 4>that's what we really kind of appreciated around here, how

166
00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:29.600
<v Speaker 4>much market bask is important to the community. The other

167
00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:31.440
<v Speaker 4>one that we can do sometimes too, which is I

168
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:34.639
<v Speaker 4>think the second is I do like Hannifford. Hanniford's a

169
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:37.240
<v Speaker 4>good second. They don't really have an app, but they

170
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:37.759
<v Speaker 4>do have.

171
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:40.240
<v Speaker 7>Go ahead.

172
00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:43.759
<v Speaker 2>I just I'm just I have enough apps I have

173
00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:46.360
<v Speaker 2>to deal with in my job, so I know how

174
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:50.879
<v Speaker 2>to use apps. But but if you've ever tried the

175
00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:53.759
<v Speaker 2>Shaws app, if anyone out there has tried the Shaws app,

176
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:57.440
<v Speaker 2>it's impossible to navigate. They make it difficult. It's like

177
00:10:57.559 --> 00:10:59.679
<v Speaker 2>one of these it's one of these apps. It's almost

178
00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:04.080
<v Speaker 2>like be you a corn maze. You go this way

179
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:06.200
<v Speaker 2>and next thing you realize there's nowhere to go, so

180
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:07.960
<v Speaker 2>you got to go backwards and you've got to take

181
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:13.200
<v Speaker 2>another turn. It's it's it's it's terrific to use. And

182
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:17.240
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why they do it, because it's not

183
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:21.240
<v Speaker 2>consumer friendly. It's it frustrates me. I'm sure it frustrates

184
00:11:21.240 --> 00:11:21.799
<v Speaker 2>other people.

185
00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:24.679
<v Speaker 4>Well, I think that's what they do to get you

186
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:26.840
<v Speaker 4>to come back. But Marcat Baskett really just has their

187
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:30.240
<v Speaker 4>weekly fire and then they're putting sales, and then the

188
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.159
<v Speaker 4>prices for everything else are just pretty much always the best,

189
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:35.279
<v Speaker 4>so you really don't have too much shopping. There's really

190
00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:36.240
<v Speaker 4>no nonsense there.

191
00:11:36.279 --> 00:11:36.919
<v Speaker 6>It's just easy.

192
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:39.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, the Flyer is great, but I'm saying you do

193
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:42.799
<v Speaker 2>not have to use an electronic device to get those.

194
00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:45.240
<v Speaker 2>It tells you. It's telling you, Okay, this is on

195
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:48.399
<v Speaker 2>sale this week. You can get this. It just take

196
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.919
<v Speaker 2>the flyer. Is it's really old school, but the flyer

197
00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:56.320
<v Speaker 2>tells you what you bring that with you and say, oh,

198
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:58.480
<v Speaker 2>I want to get those strawberries because the strawberries are

199
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:03.120
<v Speaker 2>three ninety nine or whatever it is. You don't have

200
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:06.519
<v Speaker 2>to go into your phone and pull down the market

201
00:12:06.519 --> 00:12:10.240
<v Speaker 2>basket app I don't think and then click on something

202
00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:12.840
<v Speaker 2>to make sure you just you get the best price available.

203
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:15.159
<v Speaker 2>And that's what that's the magic, in my opinion of

204
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:18.240
<v Speaker 2>market basket. If you walk out of there and you think, oh,

205
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:19.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna they're gonna they're gonna hit me for a

206
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:21.960
<v Speaker 2>hundred for one hundred bucks here, and you realize, no,

207
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:25.159
<v Speaker 2>it's sixty five dollars. That's it. Okay, here's the sixty

208
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:27.679
<v Speaker 2>five dollars. You go the other way to some of

209
00:12:27.720 --> 00:12:30.000
<v Speaker 2>these other stores and you say to yourself, well, this

210
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:32.080
<v Speaker 2>can't be more than thirty five bucks, and you reach

211
00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:34.159
<v Speaker 2>it for a couple of forties and they'll say, well

212
00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:37.480
<v Speaker 2>that's fifty nine to sixty and it's like, what what

213
00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:41.679
<v Speaker 2>did I buy? Anyway? Hey, JD, have you called before.

214
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:43.799
<v Speaker 2>This your first time. I don't recall a JD from

215
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:44.679
<v Speaker 2>Lemonster before.

216
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:48.399
<v Speaker 4>I've called a few times, mostly after the elections or

217
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:50.759
<v Speaker 4>after the debates in recent times.

218
00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:53.559
<v Speaker 2>All right, you're going to vote on Tuesday?

219
00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:55.519
<v Speaker 8>Sure?

<v Speaker 2>Did your vote? Or have you voted already?

221
00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:03.000
<v Speaker 4>Have going already? But the biggest uh, the biggest thing

222
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:05.600
<v Speaker 4>I could see you, mastresses, is uh No one question five.

223
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:07.000
<v Speaker 4>I know you've covered a few times and it was

224
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:09.200
<v Speaker 4>too busy to get in, but question five is a

225
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:11.799
<v Speaker 4>definite note for me. It's gonna crush all the small businesses.

226
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Got you? Okay, Well, thanks j D. I appreciate you

235
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:35.639
<v Speaker 9>I've got work anywhere. It's the fun bar, Shaws and

236
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:37.679
<v Speaker 9>Stop the Shop. I can't tell them different between the

237
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:40.799
<v Speaker 9>two because they're both expensive and they both wat As

238
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:43.600
<v Speaker 9>you said about competition, that's how market Basket got in

239
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:46.279
<v Speaker 9>here marking back to the old people who have but

240
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:49.320
<v Speaker 9>don't have like a million dollar account. And you're right,

241
00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:51.120
<v Speaker 9>that app is our hot math.

242
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh, the the Shaw, the Shaws app.

243
00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:56.840
<v Speaker 9>It's as our hot math.

244
00:13:57.440 --> 00:14:00.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm with you. I'm I'm gonna steal that line from you, James,

245
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:03.240
<v Speaker 2>because that's exactly what it is. I feel like you

246
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:06.840
<v Speaker 2>don't no matter how often I tried to utilize it.

247
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:10.639
<v Speaker 2>You almost have to be a nuclear scientist.

248
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:14.519
<v Speaker 9>Even with that, you need extra education. I tried that

249
00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:17.480
<v Speaker 9>thing once and happened. I said that hot mess ain't happening.

250
00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:19.759
<v Speaker 9>It's just not going to do it now.

251
00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:24.240
<v Speaker 2>If I yes, yeah, if I had a choice between

252
00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:28.639
<v Speaker 2>the market Basket five miles away and and in Shaws

253
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:32.960
<v Speaker 2>or Star Market closer, I'm going to market Basket every time.

254
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:36.279
<v Speaker 9>Same it. Oh, and there's another at least in my neighborhood.

255
00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:39.919
<v Speaker 9>We have Tropical Foods, which is the next competition for

256
00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:43.879
<v Speaker 9>market Basket. And they're trying to open up another supermarket.

257
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:48.559
<v Speaker 9>And prices are great in Detile Square or Newberry Square. Now,

258
00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:52.879
<v Speaker 9>YEA love it. And it's all international plus regular food. No,

259
00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:55.519
<v Speaker 9>they don't do an app. Yes, it's a brand new

260
00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:59.360
<v Speaker 9>supermarket and it's put in Shaws or Star or whatever

261
00:14:59.360 --> 00:14:59.799
<v Speaker 9>they call it.

262
00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:05.639
<v Speaker 2>Now, Well, good good for that. You know. Look, uh,

263
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:09.000
<v Speaker 2>there's there's a lot of communities which are uh, you know,

264
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:11.440
<v Speaker 2>stores to close en up. Walgreens has closed up a

265
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:14.480
<v Speaker 2>lot of their their drug stores. Every community needs a

266
00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:16.360
<v Speaker 2>couple of drug stores and they need a couple of

267
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:17.399
<v Speaker 2>good supermarkets.

268
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:22.320
<v Speaker 9>My neighborhood, they close them all, the Walgreens and the CBS,

269
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:26.639
<v Speaker 9>so we have to go to town to get them. Unfortunately, Well,

270
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:28.480
<v Speaker 9>I gotta tell you, so we deal it.

271
00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:32.840
<v Speaker 2>Let me make a suggestion to you, James. Okay, I'm

272
00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:35.000
<v Speaker 2>aware of that. I am aware of that. I'm a

273
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:38.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm a city kid. I think it's up to the

274
00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:42.840
<v Speaker 2>city councilors and the mayors and the mayor specifically to

275
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:46.480
<v Speaker 2>call up CBS and call up Walgreens and say, hey,

276
00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:51.559
<v Speaker 2>we need to get a store in this community because

277
00:15:51.639 --> 00:15:55.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't want people my constituents having to get on

278
00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:58.159
<v Speaker 2>the train or the bus to go all the way

279
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:02.399
<v Speaker 2>downstairs to get a prescription downtown to get a prescription filled.

280
00:16:02.799 --> 00:16:03.039
<v Speaker 9>Uh.

281
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:06.600
<v Speaker 2>And that's where the politicians could really help out their

282
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:09.080
<v Speaker 2>constituents if they were so interested. But they're not.

283
00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:15.120
<v Speaker 9>Well, we know they're not Walgreen turned into a foot locker. Yeah,

284
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:16.720
<v Speaker 9>well we need another sneaker store.

285
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:21.039
<v Speaker 2>Exactly, Oh, exactly, James, you're reading my mind. Man, this

286
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:22.000
<v Speaker 2>is scary.

287
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:25.279
<v Speaker 3>Right.

288
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:28.000
<v Speaker 9>I'm a brick and mortar guy. I don't want to

289
00:16:28.039 --> 00:16:30.759
<v Speaker 9>internet it. I mean, I've done a couple of things,

290
00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:34.399
<v Speaker 9>but I'm not intneted and re write. Most of these

291
00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:36.600
<v Speaker 9>clothing stores are going out of business. And guess what,

292

<v Speaker 9>Guys like you and me, we're not sized thirty two

293

294
00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:47.120
<v Speaker 9>clothes out for our size because we got the money. Yes,

295
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:50.240
<v Speaker 9>the one thing we want with skinny jeans and skinny teans.

296
00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:53.200
<v Speaker 9>I'm not a girl. I don't want no, I don't

297
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:55.399
<v Speaker 9>want my one see me skinny jeans because you're gonna

<v Speaker 2>that that makes my night. I can sometimes get one

326
00:18:20.680 --> 00:18:24.119
<v Speaker 2>or two or three calls folks who have enthusiasm, passion,

327
00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:27.400
<v Speaker 2>new calls so important six one, seven, two, five, four,

328
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:30.680
<v Speaker 2>ten thirty six one seven, nine, three, one ten thirty.

329
00:18:31.079 --> 00:18:33.759
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, we'll talk some politics later on tomorrow night.

330
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:36.559
<v Speaker 2>For sure, we look the election. I think most people

331
00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:38.559
<v Speaker 2>have figured the election out now one way or the other.

332
00:18:38.680 --> 00:18:41.640
<v Speaker 2>Let's see what the results are. But we're talking tonight

333
00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:45.440
<v Speaker 2>some issues that affect people, and and I think that's

334
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:49.119
<v Speaker 2>it's an important issue. The only line that's opened six one, seven, nine, three, one,

335
00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:51.240
<v Speaker 2>ten thirty. If you want to keep talking about this,

336
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:54.440
<v Speaker 2>we certainly can keep talking about this. But I think

337
00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:58.640
<v Speaker 2>it's important that that we have options, uh, and that

338
00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:01.039
<v Speaker 2>we need to say to these doors that are closing,

339
00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:04.400
<v Speaker 2>if you don't want our business, you know, just leave.

340
00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:07.160
<v Speaker 2>Don't let the door hit you on the rear end,

341
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:09.880
<v Speaker 2>particularly if you're now a foreign owned you know. Yeah,

342
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:12.960
<v Speaker 2>stopping shop. My first job was at stopping shop. Okay,

00:19:13.200 --> 00:19:15.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean it was owned by the rab family. It was.

344
00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:18.759
<v Speaker 2>It's it's what we're supposed to be about, you know,

345
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:22.440
<v Speaker 2>American family owning a business. Now it's owned by some

346

357
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:54.559
<v Speaker 2>I gotta get Tan to Dan to be aware of that.

358
00:19:54.599 --> 00:19:56.240
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead, Tina, how are you?

359
00:19:56.359 --> 00:20:00.000
<v Speaker 10>I just love, I'm wonderful, I'm just fine.

360
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:00.720
<v Speaker 11>Now.

361
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:03.920
<v Speaker 10>I don't know if those communities in Massachusetts where the

362
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:08.279
<v Speaker 10>stopping shop are closing, if they're well to do communities.

363
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:11.920
<v Speaker 10>But I know where I live in one socket up

364
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:15.160
<v Speaker 10>in the corner on the right hand side of the state, well.

365
00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:18.039
<v Speaker 2>Many times, many times, go.

366
00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:21.279
<v Speaker 10>Ahead, yeah, And the stopping shop is in where I

367
00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:23.839
<v Speaker 10>go is in one time is the North Smith Deal

368
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:26.759
<v Speaker 10>on the one socket border less than a mile from

369
00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:31.920
<v Speaker 10>my house. Now, the within i'd say a mile and

370
00:20:31.920 --> 00:20:34.799
<v Speaker 10>a half maybe two miles at the most. In my

371
00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:40.880
<v Speaker 10>community there's a stopping shop. There's all these, there's Walmart,

372
00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:47.119
<v Speaker 10>and there's four of them, all these. Oh, price right now,

373
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:50.119
<v Speaker 10>price right is more for people like on the low

374
00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:54.240
<v Speaker 10>associated economic level. But what I like about stopping shop

375
00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:57.079
<v Speaker 10>is where we live. Is it used to be open

376
00:20:57.160 --> 00:21:01.200
<v Speaker 10>until twenty four hours, seven days a week. Then that stopped.

377
00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:04.400
<v Speaker 10>Then it was open till midnight, that stopped, and now

378
00:21:04.440 --> 00:21:07.359
<v Speaker 10>it's open every day until ted. But the one thing

379
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:11.200
<v Speaker 10>I noticed about my stopping shop is I do not

380
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:15.200
<v Speaker 10>have to run to hold foods to buy organic. I

381
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:18.480
<v Speaker 10>eat a lot of organic food, and Stopping Shop in

382
00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:22.319
<v Speaker 10>North Smithfield has a lot of organics. They call it

383
00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:27.640
<v Speaker 10>Nature's promise, and Nature's promise is very good. I read

384
00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:29.000
<v Speaker 10>all the ingredients.

385
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:33.240
<v Speaker 2>I look, you know what, Tina, the stopping shop should

386
00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:36.799
<v Speaker 2>take that that standard and that practice and put it

387
00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:39.559
<v Speaker 2>in other stores. You asked about the stores in Boston.

388
00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:46.240
<v Speaker 2>In Massachusetts, Look, you know Massachusetts, Brockton's that's not a

389
00:21:46.279 --> 00:21:53.160
<v Speaker 2>wealthy community, Rayom, Camifax, Shrewsbury, Newton there he is, Yeah, yeah,

390
00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:59.240
<v Speaker 2>is Newton can be. Springfield is not a wealthy community. Worcester, Pembroke.

391
00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:03.359
<v Speaker 2>So these you know again, First of all, you have

392
00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:09.200
<v Speaker 2>you have wealthy communities who generally approximate to For example,

393
00:22:09.720 --> 00:22:13.119
<v Speaker 2>your Weston which is close to Wellesley, and Weston doesn't

394
00:22:13.160 --> 00:22:14.960
<v Speaker 2>have to come up with a lot of commercial stuff,

395
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:18.119
<v Speaker 2>but they have it next door. In Wellesley. I just

396
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:22.319
<v Speaker 2>think it's it's unfair to poorer communities. I'm glad that

397
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:25.359
<v Speaker 2>you're well served in Moon Socket, Tina, because you should be.

398
00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:27.599
<v Speaker 2>That means that a lot of people there, and I

399
00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:29.799
<v Speaker 2>hope that the competition keeps the prices down.

400
00:22:33.680 --> 00:22:37.759
<v Speaker 10>Market Basket is about ten miles from me, the one

401
00:22:37.759 --> 00:22:41.440
<v Speaker 10>in Petucket right now. The other one is up in Bellingham.

402
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:42.079
<v Speaker 10>It's too far.

403
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:43.119
<v Speaker 11>I don't like.

404
00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:48.400
<v Speaker 10>I don't like market Basket. It's too big. I get overwhelmed.

405
00:22:48.880 --> 00:22:51.880
<v Speaker 10>Stopping shops are smaller, they're a little bit more money

406
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:54.680
<v Speaker 10>holeful just Marrie.

407
00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:57.839
<v Speaker 2>Okay, whatever, whatever works for you, Tina. I gotta get

408
00:22:57.839 --> 00:22:59.680
<v Speaker 2>one more in here before the break, So I'm gonna

00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:01.839
<v Speaker 2>let you. Oh. I'm glad that you're happy. You're the

410
00:23:01.880 --> 00:23:05.319
<v Speaker 2>happiest caller of the night so far. Okay, thanks Dan,

411
00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:08.480
<v Speaker 2>doctor lady. Let me get Florence and Groveland, Florence. I

412
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:09.839
<v Speaker 2>don't want you have to wait through the news. You

413
00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:10.920
<v Speaker 2>go right ahead, Florence.

414
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:15.240
<v Speaker 12>Well, I'm another happy Macas get cooked me too.

415
00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:15.680
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

416
00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:20.359
<v Speaker 12>Yeah, their prices agreed. And I gotta tell you, Dan,

417
00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:25.359
<v Speaker 12>they make up now. You know, there are lots of

418
00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:30.680
<v Speaker 12>brand name frozen foods in the cases there. But they

419
00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:37.279
<v Speaker 12>make up meals they cook right there and they seal

420
00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:42.720
<v Speaker 12>them up, and you can buy meals already cooked, just

421
00:23:42.839 --> 00:23:46.039
<v Speaker 12>bring it home and warm it up in the microwaves.

422
00:23:46.400 --> 00:23:51.039
<v Speaker 2>Yep, that is important, particularly for folks who live alone.

423
00:23:51.880 --> 00:23:53.799
<v Speaker 2>They don't want to cook a big, big meal for

424
00:23:53.920 --> 00:23:56.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, two people or three people or four people,

425
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:01.720
<v Speaker 2>but they want to have a Yeah, that's another good reason.

426
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:02.680
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

427
00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:07.839
<v Speaker 12>And they also make up sandwich to go if you

428
00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:13.680
<v Speaker 12>want a sub samdwich instead of your regular subplaces. They're

429
00:24:13.880 --> 00:24:18.599
<v Speaker 12>cheaper there, like six dollars and you can get whatever

430
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:22.519
<v Speaker 12>you want and what whatever you want on it good

431
00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:24.359
<v Speaker 12>and it's sambulous.

432
00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Well again, I have heard very few people say anything

433
00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:31.480
<v Speaker 2>negative about a market basket. For Tina, one of them

434
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:33.200
<v Speaker 2>is a little too far away and she thinks the

435
00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:35.480
<v Speaker 2>store might be a little big, and she gets overwhelmed

436
00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:37.079
<v Speaker 2>and she should stay with Stop and Shop.

437
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:41.240
<v Speaker 12>But for you and me, three miles I.

438
00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:44.079
<v Speaker 2>Wish my I wish my market basket was three miles away.

439
00:24:44.440 --> 00:24:47.559
<v Speaker 2>We we will, we will stick with market Basket whenever

440
00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:49.640
<v Speaker 2>we can. Florence, I got you before the break. I

441
00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:51.799
<v Speaker 2>didn't want to have to have to stand and wait

442
00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:53.759
<v Speaker 2>through the news. But I got the news coming at

443
00:24:53.799 --> 00:24:56.640
<v Speaker 2>me right now, so we'll talk soon. Okay, Thanks Florence,

444
00:24:56.720 --> 00:24:59.279
<v Speaker 2>always great to your voice. We'll take a break. We'll

445
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:02.079
<v Speaker 2>say with this in Freetown, Jack and Aileen. You guys

446
00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:04.039
<v Speaker 2>stay right there. Six one seven two five four to

447
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:06.960
<v Speaker 2>ten thirty. One line there actually two lines there, six

448
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:09.119
<v Speaker 2>one seven two five four to ten thirty. The other

449
00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:11.680
<v Speaker 2>line's full up, so try up. Try six one seven

450
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:15.640
<v Speaker 2>two five four to ten thirty. We're talking about stores closing,

451
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:18.759
<v Speaker 2>which is not a good sign for Massachusetts for sure.

452
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:26.240
<v Speaker 1>It's nice eyes, I'm telling you crazy. Boston's news radio.

453
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:28.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, that was an interesting story about the guy in

454
00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Cohassett being arrested for allegedly painting a swatsticker onto a

455
00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:35.839
<v Speaker 2>Trump campaign sign. I wonder where you got that idea from.

456
00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:40.680
<v Speaker 2>And of course, you know Trump has no no chance

457
00:25:40.720 --> 00:25:46.400
<v Speaker 2>of carrying Massachusetts. So this this seventy four year old

458
00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:50.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. It's like a refugee from the hippie

459
00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:57.599
<v Speaker 2>days of the sixties. I was in Quincy District Court today. Look, uh,

460
00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:00.000
<v Speaker 2>that's a pretty serious thing when you do that, Okay,

461
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:06.200
<v Speaker 2>and are you know just it's amazing It's amazing the

462
00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:10.400
<v Speaker 2>amount of disdain that people have in this country for

463
00:26:10.440 --> 00:26:12.160
<v Speaker 2>people who have a different point of view. I'm sure

464
00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:14.759
<v Speaker 2>he considers himself a First Amendment guy. As he was

465
00:26:14.799 --> 00:26:17.519
<v Speaker 2>painting the swatsticker, he must have been caught in the act.

466
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh so there must be some video footage of him.

467
00:26:21.079 --> 00:26:24.200
<v Speaker 2>He's a fairly with the with the beard and the

468
00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:27.920
<v Speaker 2>long hair. He's a pretty identifiable character, that's for sure.

469
00:26:27.960 --> 00:26:30.119
<v Speaker 2>But we're not talking about that right now. We may

470
00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:32.319
<v Speaker 2>talk about that tomorrow and I let me go, but

471
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:36.720
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about basically some brick and mortor stores, including

472
00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:39.680
<v Speaker 2>eight Stop and shops which are now closing here in Massachusetts.

473
00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:42.160
<v Speaker 2>I did not realize that Stopping Shop is no longer

474
00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:44.839
<v Speaker 2>a US company. I should be up to date on

475
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:47.599
<v Speaker 2>some of this stuff. It is now a company that

476
00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:51.599
<v Speaker 2>is owned by a it's a Dutch company. So, you know,

477
00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:54.759
<v Speaker 2>just just just thought you'd like to know where are

478
00:26:54.759 --> 00:26:58.160
<v Speaker 2>we going next. Let's go to Andy and Freetown. Hey, Andy,

479
00:26:58.200 --> 00:26:59.960
<v Speaker 2>welcome next to II. Thanks for checking in.

480
00:27:01.359 --> 00:27:05.319
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, Dan, I did seventeen years with a Hold and

481
00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:08.680
<v Speaker 8>they're the fourth largest grocer in the country now with

482
00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:12.119
<v Speaker 8>all their mergers. They run under oh I think thirty

483
00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:17.079
<v Speaker 8>or forty different names, and I know the stores well.

484
00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:20.440
<v Speaker 8>Like Halifax was a fantastic store that they built from

485
00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:23.559
<v Speaker 8>the ground up, but it had a Walmart supercenter next

486
00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:26.480
<v Speaker 8>door to it, and it never it never took off.

487
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:32.000
<v Speaker 8>Unfortunately the area wouldn't support it. And many of the

488
00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:37.920
<v Speaker 8>stores get ripped blind and they get driven out of

489
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:41.119
<v Speaker 8>business practically, I mean, they's just the shoplifting in them.

490
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:44.039
<v Speaker 8>They just can't handle it. But one thing that.

491
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:48.400
<v Speaker 2>That is a big problem. You go into more stores

492
00:27:48.440 --> 00:27:51.680
<v Speaker 2>now and everything's under lock and key. So how long

493
00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:55.480
<v Speaker 2>has this company, I'll hold del Hayes, a Dutch supermarket

494
00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:58.079
<v Speaker 2>company owned stop and Shop? How how many years have

495
00:27:58.200 --> 00:28:00.599
<v Speaker 2>it they owned stop and around?

496
00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:04.839
<v Speaker 8>The merger took place around two thousand and just one

497
00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:07.519
<v Speaker 8>of your one of your other callers mentioned, just so

498
00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:10.400
<v Speaker 8>you know who you're doing business with. They own Haniford's

499
00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:13.359
<v Speaker 8>also also so if you're going to Hannifords, you're going

500
00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:14.559
<v Speaker 8>to an Rhold location.

501
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:19.759
<v Speaker 2>Now, the management, it was American management. It says here

502
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:24.119
<v Speaker 2>that stopped and shot President Gordon Reid? Uh? Did they did?

503
00:28:24.119 --> 00:28:27.319
<v Speaker 2>They have people coming over from from Holland and uh

504
00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:30.400
<v Speaker 2>and making decisions here that That's what's crazy to me.

505
00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:34.960
<v Speaker 2>I call me old fashioned, but why don't they if

506
00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:38.240
<v Speaker 2>they're owned by by a foreign national, why don't they

507
00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:41.119
<v Speaker 2>post it somewhere so people know where they're where they

508
00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:41.519
<v Speaker 2>buy it?

509
00:28:41.720 --> 00:28:46.200
<v Speaker 8>Well, because it's it's it's not popular and it basically,

510
00:28:46.480 --> 00:28:48.960
<v Speaker 8>you know, it's a holding company. I believe they own

511
00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:55.279
<v Speaker 8>about eleven huge corporations and you know they just everything's

512
00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:58.039
<v Speaker 8>run on numbers and they they just want the boatload

513
00:28:58.079 --> 00:29:01.160
<v Speaker 8>of money that floats across the Europe if week, and

514
00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:03.839
<v Speaker 8>that's all they're in it for. They don't have their

515
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:06.400
<v Speaker 8>heart and soul isn't in the country like it was

516
00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:07.400
<v Speaker 8>with a rab family.

517
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:11.119
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you I've got my first job at Stop

518
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:13.720
<v Speaker 2>and Shop. I was one of those bundle boys, you

519
00:29:13.759 --> 00:29:16.559
<v Speaker 2>know at the back and stuff. I still pack my

520
00:29:16.599 --> 00:29:19.279
<v Speaker 2>groceries when I go to the store, and I do

521
00:29:19.359 --> 00:29:23.039
<v Speaker 2>it because I enjoy, you know, if I need one

522
00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:25.720
<v Speaker 2>bag fitting everything in neatly, if I need two bags,

523
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:28.880
<v Speaker 2>balancing the way and all of that. And that was

524
00:29:28.880 --> 00:29:31.519
<v Speaker 2>my first job at Stop and Shop. I remember my

525
00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:34.079
<v Speaker 2>manager was a fellow named Murray Cohen. I'm sure Murray

526
00:29:34.079 --> 00:29:36.920
<v Speaker 2>has long passed on, but he was a great guy.

527
00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:39.880
<v Speaker 2>I was a young kid, fifteen, sixteen years old, first

528
00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:42.039
<v Speaker 2>job making a buck and a quarter an hour.

529
00:29:42.880 --> 00:29:45.680
<v Speaker 8>I mean, yeah, you used to have to know someone

530
00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:47.119
<v Speaker 8>to get a job at stop and shop.

531
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Well you know that was true. Well, let me tell

532
00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:53.240
<v Speaker 2>you you're right. My family, it was the stop and

533
00:29:53.279 --> 00:29:56.279
<v Speaker 2>shop on Truman Highway in Hyde Park. We lived in

534
00:29:56.319 --> 00:30:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Reidville and that was our store of choice. Yeah. I

535
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:05.359
<v Speaker 2>just think that that I got to do a little

536
00:30:05.400 --> 00:30:07.799
<v Speaker 2>bit more research here and let people know who owns

537
00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:11.880
<v Speaker 2>these companies. Obviously, market Basket's my favorite. It's owned by

538
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:17.000
<v Speaker 2>local people. That's yes, you can get So what how

539
00:30:17.079 --> 00:30:19.240
<v Speaker 2>is this going to impact you? Are you still with

540
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:21.200
<v Speaker 2>with this company or no? Have you moved on?

541
00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:25.720
<v Speaker 8>No, I've retired. I just I did my seventeen years

542
00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:28.599
<v Speaker 8>and hell but you know, it just wasn't good.

543
00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:30.160
<v Speaker 2>It wasn't a good company to work for.

544
00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:37.000
<v Speaker 8>I just didn't care for the fact that I didn't

545
00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:42.240
<v Speaker 8>feel they had America's interests in mind. It was more

546
00:30:42.359 --> 00:30:45.039
<v Speaker 8>I mean that. I mean I retired out of there,

547
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:48.400
<v Speaker 8>so I mean they I benefited from them. It was

548
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:51.880
<v Speaker 8>a decent job, but I never was very comfortable with it.

549
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:53.440
<v Speaker 8>I mean I just knew they were all good for

550
00:30:53.519 --> 00:30:54.119
<v Speaker 8>you money?

551
00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:56.680
<v Speaker 2>If I could ask what what what type? You obviously

552
00:30:56.839 --> 00:30:59.880
<v Speaker 2>were above my rank of a bundle boy, what did

553
00:30:59.920 --> 00:31:01.519
<v Speaker 2>you do with them? Were you a manager?

554
00:31:02.440 --> 00:31:02.599
<v Speaker 7>No?

555
00:31:02.599 --> 00:31:05.200
<v Speaker 8>No, No, I was in transportation. But I I know

556
00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:08.759
<v Speaker 8>all of the stores intimately that you're you're discussing, and

557
00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:12.440
<v Speaker 8>I know exactly why they closed. And the random store

558
00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:15.279
<v Speaker 8>was it never it never took off. They have a

559
00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:18.240
<v Speaker 8>market basket on one side and they have a Walmart

560
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:22.440
<v Speaker 8>supercenter on the other, and it just that. And it's

561
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:26.240
<v Speaker 8>also about turnover, you know, like Somerset, mass is a

562
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:29.720
<v Speaker 8>is a rocking store that's like a million dollars a week,

563
00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:34.759
<v Speaker 8>and you're all that store turns over constantly. There's never

564
00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:38.200
<v Speaker 8>old old food and in a in a store that

565
00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:42.559
<v Speaker 8>does wicked business, slow stores, you know, stuff gets old.

566
00:31:42.640 --> 00:31:45.440
<v Speaker 8>People don't like that. It's just it's a downward spiral.

567
00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:50.119
<v Speaker 8>So it's no surprise to me the stores and the

568
00:31:50.119 --> 00:31:54.119
<v Speaker 8>Springfield store that gets ripped blind you. You know, there's

569
00:31:54.960 --> 00:31:58.240
<v Speaker 8>there's all kinds of commotion out there and and no

570
00:31:58.319 --> 00:32:01.480
<v Speaker 8>one backs backs it up up. You know that there's

571
00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:05.160
<v Speaker 8>no police anymore, and they can't be bothered with you know,

572
00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:08.240
<v Speaker 8>a guy stealing a box of crackers or something like that.

573
00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, the problem is the problem is that in you know,

574
00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:16.400
<v Speaker 2>in poorer communities. I assume that in the Wellesley type

575
00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:19.240
<v Speaker 2>stores you don't get a lot of that shoplifting, But

576
00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:22.920
<v Speaker 2>in the poorer communities you only have a small percentage

577
00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:25.960
<v Speaker 2>of that community that's going in and taking a five

578
00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:28.960
<v Speaker 2>finger discount. But when it reaches a point where the

579
00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:32.680
<v Speaker 2>company can't turn a profit, they close the store, and

580
00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:36.440
<v Speaker 2>then you have what's called food deserts in poorer communities,

581
00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:41.160
<v Speaker 2>and the people who are most adversely impacted, the poor

582
00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:44.440
<v Speaker 2>people who live in those communities. And it's just you're

583
00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:45.000
<v Speaker 2>the harm.

584
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:48.880
<v Speaker 8>You're absolutely right, You're absolutely right. And they I mean

585
00:32:48.920 --> 00:32:53.119
<v Speaker 8>the Roxbury store they went crazy on us for because

586
00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:55.759
<v Speaker 8>they wanted to close one They had a door on

587
00:32:55.799 --> 00:32:58.359
<v Speaker 8>each side and they just run out of the store

588
00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:03.160
<v Speaker 8>with merchandise and I forget who the who the representatives

589
00:33:03.440 --> 00:33:06.920
<v Speaker 8>in in there. Well, they didn't want them to close

590
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:10.599
<v Speaker 8>one side of the store for for the exit, to

591
00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:15.039
<v Speaker 8>try to control the shoplifting. You know, the community. Anything

592
00:33:15.119 --> 00:33:18.279
<v Speaker 8>they tried to do to help the store from being stolen,

593
00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:23.119
<v Speaker 8>the community wouldn't support anything to help them. So that

594
00:33:23.279 --> 00:33:27.119
<v Speaker 8>store is still in business and doing okay. But but

595
00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:27.599
<v Speaker 8>you're right.

596
00:33:27.960 --> 00:33:31.200
<v Speaker 2>So the other thing too, is that sometimes it's the

597
00:33:31.319 --> 00:33:35.720
<v Speaker 2>loudest voices in the community who are going to, you know, claim, oh,

598
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:40.119
<v Speaker 2>you're you're being unfair to us, whereas the vast majority

599
00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:42.799
<v Speaker 2>of people in the community would want the store to

600
00:33:42.839 --> 00:33:45.680
<v Speaker 2>be safer and more secure. I mean, the average person

601
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:48.720
<v Speaker 2>who's going in there to conduct business. They're not going

602
00:33:48.720 --> 00:33:51.240
<v Speaker 2>in there looking to get to get rolled, or to

603
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:54.839
<v Speaker 2>or to be inconvenience or to be threatened, you know.

604
00:33:54.920 --> 00:33:57.599
<v Speaker 2>And and the stores haven't. They have an obligation and

605
00:33:57.640 --> 00:33:59.319
<v Speaker 2>make sure the customer is going to come in and

606
00:33:59.359 --> 00:34:01.000
<v Speaker 2>feel safe and comfortable as well.

607
00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:04.880
<v Speaker 8>Well. I always enjoyed the one next to the right

608
00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:07.960
<v Speaker 8>on the Expressway. They used to have a stuff and

609
00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:10.719
<v Speaker 8>job had a they'd steam a lobster for you and

610
00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:13.400
<v Speaker 8>you could just have a fresh lobster and we'd find,

611
00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:15.920
<v Speaker 8>you know, they they'd eat it through the stores they

612
00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:19.519
<v Speaker 8>were quote shopping, and there were so many lobster shells

613
00:34:19.559 --> 00:34:21.880
<v Speaker 8>around the store and in the aisles. They just stopped

614
00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:29.280
<v Speaker 8>doing it. So, yeah, we're feeding the world lobster. But

615
00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:33.519
<v Speaker 8>they were a decent company for me and stuff like that.

616
00:34:33.559 --> 00:34:37.679
<v Speaker 8>But I it's it. I don't like working for foreign entities,

617
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:40.920
<v Speaker 8>even if they're not the worst in the world or anything.

618
00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:43.079
<v Speaker 2>By the way, I don't like I don't like shopping

619
00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:46.280
<v Speaker 2>for foreign entities because I want to support, uh, you know,

620
00:34:46.320 --> 00:34:50.199
<v Speaker 2>my fellow Americans. I want them to support me absolutely.

621
00:34:51.880 --> 00:34:57.559
<v Speaker 8>And they promise brand is doing pretty well. And that

622
00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:00.800
<v Speaker 8>is someone else mentioned that it is a they are

623
00:35:00.880 --> 00:35:03.159
<v Speaker 8>trying to do a good thing with that brand that

624
00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:07.119
<v Speaker 8>they control that very heavily. The chicken is decent and

625
00:35:07.159 --> 00:35:10.199
<v Speaker 8>stuff like that, so they do decent things too. I'm

626
00:35:10.199 --> 00:35:11.559
<v Speaker 8>not trying to paint them as black.

627
00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:15.199
<v Speaker 2>Fair enough, Okay, Andy, I appreciate you call. Thanks very much.

628
00:35:15.239 --> 00:35:18.000
<v Speaker 2>I know you've called before. Always great to hear from

629
00:35:18.039 --> 00:35:18.880

<v Speaker 2>I get back. I got Jack. We talked to Andy

00:35:28.599 --> 00:35:31.039
<v Speaker 2>in Freetown. We get Jack on the Cape. Coming up next,

635
00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:34.519
<v Speaker 2>Kennis and Hudson, Davidson Jamaica Plane, and we've got Eileen

636
00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:36.239
<v Speaker 2>to coming right back on Nightside.

637
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:40.159
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

638
00:35:40.280 --> 00:35:43.760
<v Speaker 1>Nightside Studios on WBZ news radio.

639
00:35:44.519 --> 00:35:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Talking about American stores going out of business. Go to

640
00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:49.239
<v Speaker 2>Jack on the Cape. We were with Andy in Freetown

641
00:35:49.280 --> 00:35:51.239
<v Speaker 2>and we get Jack on Cape Cod whereabouts in the.

642
00:35:51.159 --> 00:35:53.920
<v Speaker 9>Cape, Jack mid Cape.

643
00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:57.480
<v Speaker 2>We arm it ll all right, beautiful community.

644
00:35:58.840 --> 00:36:01.920
<v Speaker 9>So I want to I want to try to do

645
00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:06.840
<v Speaker 9>a projection of the fact what you're referring to as

646
00:36:06.840 --> 00:36:11.119
<v Speaker 9>the closing of stores and whatnot, grossing stores. I want

647
00:36:11.159 --> 00:36:15.920
<v Speaker 9>to address this. Am Uh they want to close out

648
00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:16.840
<v Speaker 9>the AM band.

649
00:36:17.599 --> 00:36:20.039
<v Speaker 2>Well that's yeah, we're concerned about that as well.

650
00:36:20.119 --> 00:36:25.440
<v Speaker 9>Trust me on that one, okay. And so I you know,

651
00:36:25.559 --> 00:36:30.280
<v Speaker 9>they for whatever reasons behind this, I have no no

652
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:36.159
<v Speaker 9>idea because it's ludicrous to even conceive of it. But

653
00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:40.159
<v Speaker 9>I want to touch on two points. One is a

654
00:36:41.119 --> 00:36:46.199
<v Speaker 9>it's called sd R. It's called software defined radio. Okay,

655
00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:50.480
<v Speaker 9>now I've experimented with it. It's a chip. It's a

656
00:36:50.639 --> 00:36:54.679
<v Speaker 9>chip you buy and undo a computer, and this this

657
00:36:54.880 --> 00:37:00.599
<v Speaker 9>chip will basically create any spectral radio frequency you want

658
00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:05.480
<v Speaker 9>to listen in and or transmit on. So that's cool,

659
00:37:05.519 --> 00:37:07.559
<v Speaker 9>and I think, you know, put that in your file,

660
00:37:08.280 --> 00:37:11.280
<v Speaker 9>find somebody that we can bring on and talk about.

661
00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:12.400
<v Speaker 2>That, okay.

662
00:37:13.000 --> 00:37:17.760
<v Speaker 9>And so what they're what it seems like they want

663
00:37:17.760 --> 00:37:22.719
<v Speaker 9>to limit the frequency of our in other words, freedom

664
00:37:22.760 --> 00:37:28.719
<v Speaker 9>of speech, and I've heard this project does not mean

665
00:37:28.800 --> 00:37:32.440
<v Speaker 9>freedom of reach. Now I'm speaking with Dan Ray on

666
00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:39.159
<v Speaker 9>wb Z, I'm speaking to a huge audience. Why because

667
00:37:39.199 --> 00:37:43.760
<v Speaker 9>of rf AM Yeah okay, yeah.

668
00:37:43.599 --> 00:37:45.440
<v Speaker 2>No, we're absolutely right. And by the way, just so

669
00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:48.559
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's something that is a great concern to iHeart.

670
00:37:48.960 --> 00:37:52.440
<v Speaker 2>And as a matter of fact, Senator Marky here in

671
00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Massachusetts has been on the show talking about this a

672
00:37:54.920 --> 00:37:58.280
<v Speaker 2>couple of times, briefly, but he's actually fighting for it.

673
00:37:58.360 --> 00:38:03.039
<v Speaker 2>And the reason why we need AM radio is, first

674
00:38:03.079 --> 00:38:06.119
<v Speaker 2>of all, it's just it's what a lot of people

675
00:38:06.159 --> 00:38:08.519
<v Speaker 2>rely upon and when there is a crisis, when there

676
00:38:08.599 --> 00:38:13.440
<v Speaker 2>is a natural disaster, as we've seen down in South Carolina,

677
00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:16.639
<v Speaker 2>North Carolina, Florida, Georgia, with you know all of this,

678
00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:19.760
<v Speaker 2>having a transistor radio that can pick up a strong,

679
00:38:19.840 --> 00:38:24.000
<v Speaker 2>powerful radio station. FM stations are great, but they're primarily

680
00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:27.239
<v Speaker 2>designed as music stations. One of the AM stations with

681
00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:30.559
<v Speaker 2>the original sort of Conrad stations back in the day.

682
00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:33.880
<v Speaker 2>In case, back in the nineteen fifties that President Eisenhower

683
00:38:33.920 --> 00:38:38.000
<v Speaker 2>would have had to have spoken to the nation, BZ

684
00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:40.599
<v Speaker 2>would have been one of those stations because we have

685
00:38:40.679 --> 00:38:43.880
<v Speaker 2>such a terrestrial, you know impact. I mean, there are

686
00:38:43.880 --> 00:38:47.199
<v Speaker 2>people listening to us tonight. We've already had, you know,

687
00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:51.000
<v Speaker 2>calls from people in Rhode Island, but you hear we

688
00:38:51.079 --> 00:38:54.599
<v Speaker 2>have calls from the Midwest, the Southern States all the time.

689
00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:59.920
<v Speaker 2>So it's important that AM radio survives. I don't know

690
00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:03.679
<v Speaker 2>what's going on, whether they're trying to get bandwidth back,

691
00:39:03.760 --> 00:39:06.239
<v Speaker 2>but there's an agenda at play here. And I got

692
00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:11.239
<v Speaker 2>to tell you, you know, Ed Markey, who's who's I'm you know,

693
00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:14.199
<v Speaker 2>I disagree with any number of issues. On some issues

694
00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:16.280
<v Speaker 2>I agree with them on, but he's a He's someone

695
00:39:16.280 --> 00:39:17.960
<v Speaker 2>who I know pretty well, and we're trying to get

696
00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:19.679
<v Speaker 2>him back on the show to talk about it. As

697
00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:22.079
<v Speaker 2>a matter of fact, I'll remake that phone call tomorrow.

698
00:39:22.280 --> 00:39:24.760
<v Speaker 2>But he's been a leader down there. Uh. And there

699
00:39:24.760 --> 00:39:28.039
<v Speaker 2>are others in the Massachusetts delegation who have been leaders

700
00:39:28.039 --> 00:39:30.480
<v Speaker 2>as well. Steve Lynch has been particularly good on it.

701
00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:35.199
<v Speaker 2>Laurie Trehanna has been good on it. Congress Congressman Seth

702
00:39:35.239 --> 00:39:39.079
<v Speaker 2>Molton has been good on it. The solid people, so

703
00:39:39.920 --> 00:39:43.159
<v Speaker 2>whether you regret them in so many different ways, there

704
00:39:43.639 --> 00:39:47.880
<v Speaker 2>is something that Democrats and Republicans agree on, agreed.

705
00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:50.519
<v Speaker 9>We need things we agree on. This is a thing

706
00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:58.400
<v Speaker 9>that gathered around the wireless you know, the the transmitter

707
00:39:58.480 --> 00:40:00.880
<v Speaker 9>you'd hear, I mean, is what rate? It was wonderful.

708
00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:03.679
<v Speaker 2>Look look when I was when I was a kid,

709
00:40:03.679 --> 00:40:06.679
<v Speaker 2>and I'm sure just about every person in this audience

710
00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:09.119
<v Speaker 2>can identify with this, when all you have with the

711
00:40:09.159 --> 00:40:13.079
<v Speaker 2>three TV networks. I would listen we had a big

712
00:40:13.199 --> 00:40:15.880
<v Speaker 2>radio in the back porch, and I'd listen to baseball

713
00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:19.400
<v Speaker 2>games or Tiger games, or White Sox games, or Yankee games,

714
00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:22.639
<v Speaker 2>or Mets games or Oriole games. And it really made

715
00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:25.719
<v Speaker 2>me think about radio. And for a long time I

716
00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:28.079
<v Speaker 2>wanted to be a sportscaster. Well I ended up in

717
00:40:28.079 --> 00:40:31.480
<v Speaker 2>the same business, but in a different you know, same church,

718
00:40:31.719 --> 00:40:34.320
<v Speaker 2>same cathedral, different view from what I'm saying. So I'm

719
00:40:34.360 --> 00:40:36.760
<v Speaker 2>a talk show host and before that, I was in television.

720
00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:39.880
<v Speaker 2>But it lit a fuse in my mind the idea

721
00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:43.760
<v Speaker 2>that there was this communication ability I remember, and I

722
00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:46.599
<v Speaker 2>don't know if anybody can can identify with this. Sounds

723
00:40:46.599 --> 00:40:48.440
<v Speaker 2>to me like you might be able to remember in

724
00:40:48.519 --> 00:40:51.320
<v Speaker 2>high school and I don't know what year you were

725
00:40:51.320 --> 00:40:52.800
<v Speaker 2>in high school. But I was in high school in

726
00:40:52.800 --> 00:40:55.199
<v Speaker 2>the sixties. You're in high school, and they used to

727
00:40:55.280 --> 00:41:00.679
<v Speaker 2>do announcements every day over the last interviewing Wild Speaker,

728
00:41:01.440 --> 00:41:05.920
<v Speaker 2>and normally he was one of the either the head

729
00:41:06.000 --> 00:41:08.480
<v Speaker 2>master we had a head master at Latin School, or

730
00:41:08.519 --> 00:41:10.840
<v Speaker 2>as a teacher, and they would make three or four

731
00:41:10.840 --> 00:41:14.960
<v Speaker 2>announcements that everybody needed to know about. And I thought

732
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:18.320
<v Speaker 2>to myself, Wow, what a cool way to communicate this

733
00:41:18.519 --> 00:41:21.159
<v Speaker 2>one person speaking to We had two thousand kids in

734
00:41:21.199 --> 00:41:24.119
<v Speaker 2>the school at the time, two thousand people, two thousand

735
00:41:24.199 --> 00:41:27.320
<v Speaker 2>kids students plus teachers, and I thought, this is like

736
00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:30.159
<v Speaker 2>a private radio station. Of course, it wasn't a radio station.

737
00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:33.239
<v Speaker 2>It was simply allow speaker, but the concept was the same.

738
00:41:33.880 --> 00:41:36.159
<v Speaker 2>And that made me think about this and I think

739
00:41:36.199 --> 00:41:38.480
<v Speaker 2>it might have helped me find find my career path

740
00:41:38.559 --> 00:41:42.679
<v Speaker 2>to be really honest with you for what that means.

741

<v Speaker 13>Oh all right, Well I have to go to Walmart

762
00:42:45.920 --> 00:42:50.320
<v Speaker 13>first thing tomorrow morning. And I'm going to go to

763
00:42:50.440 --> 00:42:54.559
<v Speaker 13>the Walmart superstore in Avon.

764
00:42:56.400 --> 00:42:57.760
<v Speaker 5>And I.

765
00:42:59.519 --> 00:43:02.320
<v Speaker 13>I have a a son who lives in a group

766
00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:05.320
<v Speaker 13>home and they just changed his home and I had

767
00:43:05.400 --> 00:43:09.880
<v Speaker 13>to buy some bedding. And I went in that store

768
00:43:09.960 --> 00:43:14.840
<v Speaker 13>and I where do I but people? The people who

769
00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:18.719
<v Speaker 13>worked there were just wonderful, especially a young lady named Heather,

770
00:43:19.760 --> 00:43:23.079
<v Speaker 13>who helped me out pick out exactly what I needed.

771
00:43:23.199 --> 00:43:25.559
<v Speaker 13>I got it done very quickly.

772
00:43:27.880 --> 00:43:30.039
<v Speaker 3>And then.

773
00:43:31.440 --> 00:43:35.000
<v Speaker 13>You were talking about stop and shop. My sons all

774
00:43:35.159 --> 00:43:39.719
<v Speaker 13>worked at the local stop and shop during this back.

775
00:43:39.599 --> 00:43:44.079
<v Speaker 2>To your experience today. I mean, it's so important when

776
00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:47.440
<v Speaker 2>we go into one of these stores that there'd be

777
00:43:47.559 --> 00:43:50.760
<v Speaker 2>people on the floor that you can talk to. All

778
00:43:50.840 --> 00:43:54.039
<v Speaker 2>go into Shaws and there's no one. There are a

779
00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:56.559
<v Speaker 2>couple of cashiers, and there's a couple of managers and

780
00:43:56.639 --> 00:43:59.960
<v Speaker 2>a couple of bag people, but you don't find anybody's

781
00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:01.800
<v Speaker 2>So if you're looking for a product, you can just

782
00:44:02.320 --> 00:44:06.400
<v Speaker 2>roam around from without without finding the product. I was

783
00:44:06.440 --> 00:44:10.199
<v Speaker 2>in a store recently I really love.

784
00:44:11.159 --> 00:44:16.440
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, the store, the local store, grocery store that I

785
00:44:16.599 --> 00:44:22.199
<v Speaker 13>really love is Trader Joe's and hang them and the

786
00:44:23.079 --> 00:44:26.320
<v Speaker 13>all of the staff talk to you. They they they

787
00:44:26.840 --> 00:44:29.000
<v Speaker 13>come up and say, do you need any help? Can

788
00:44:29.039 --> 00:44:33.719
<v Speaker 13>you Are you finding everything you need there? I think

789
00:44:33.800 --> 00:44:38.880
<v Speaker 13>they're they've been trained that way to uh, you know,

790
00:44:39.039 --> 00:44:40.280
<v Speaker 13>to do their job that way.

791
00:44:40.440 --> 00:44:43.320
<v Speaker 2>It's that interpersonal relationship that makes you want to go

792
00:44:43.440 --> 00:44:45.840
<v Speaker 2>back to that store. That's that's the point. And you

793
00:44:45.960 --> 00:44:48.519
<v Speaker 2>compare that to trying to get on the internet and

794
00:44:48.760 --> 00:44:51.440
<v Speaker 2>order an item uh that that maybe it is not

795
00:44:51.559 --> 00:44:53.559
<v Speaker 2>going to fit, or an item that isn't going to work.

796
00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:57.519
<v Speaker 2>It's it's so much nicer, I think to buy something

797
00:44:57.880 --> 00:45:00.519
<v Speaker 2>from a brick and mortar store. I really there are

798
00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:04.079
<v Speaker 2>certain things that you need to now go on the

799
00:45:04.159 --> 00:45:07.360
<v Speaker 2>internet and do, but I do it as little as possible. Ireena,

800
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:09.039
<v Speaker 2>I got the news coming at me, so I gotta

801

<v Speaker 2>let you go. Best of luck when you go to

<v Speaker 2>the Walmart superstore in Avon tomorrow. Okay, did I lose her?

<v Speaker 2>Okay, we had a little bit of a glitch there.

808
00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:39.199
<v Speaker 2>Thank goodness, David and Ken have called back. There were

809
00:45:39.199 --> 00:45:42.159
<v Speaker 2>a couple of other folks who were dropped off. If

810
00:45:42.199 --> 00:45:44.760
<v Speaker 2>you remember I Lean, I couldn't say good night to

811
00:45:44.840 --> 00:45:47.039
<v Speaker 2>her because she had gone away, and then David and

812
00:45:47.400 --> 00:45:50.199
<v Speaker 2>Ken for some reason mysteriously dropped off. Sometimes we have

813
00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:54.760
<v Speaker 2>the gremlins. This is Halloween night, but it's got nothing

814
00:45:54.800 --> 00:45:58.199
<v Speaker 2>to do really with Halloween. So Dan is going to

815
00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:01.199
<v Speaker 2>ripe that up so that our craw technical people can

816
00:46:01.559 --> 00:46:03.800
<v Speaker 2>find out what happened. But in the meantime, if you

817
00:46:03.880 --> 00:46:05.920
<v Speaker 2>were on, please call back and you get your space

818
00:46:06.000 --> 00:46:10.559
<v Speaker 2>in line. We are talking about the closure of big stores.

819
00:46:10.800 --> 00:46:13.639
<v Speaker 2>Thousands of big stores have closed across this country in

820
00:46:13.719 --> 00:46:17.639
<v Speaker 2>the last year, thousands, thousands, and that is not good

821
00:46:17.719 --> 00:46:21.320
<v Speaker 2>for consumers. It's not good for consumers choice. They're driving

822
00:46:21.440 --> 00:46:24.239
<v Speaker 2>us to try to do everything through Amazon, and that

823
00:46:24.599 --> 00:46:27.800
<v Speaker 2>doesn't work for me. Let's go to David and Jamaica

824
00:46:27.880 --> 00:46:31.760
<v Speaker 2>Plane David Europe next, followed by Ken go ahead, David, Dan,

825
00:46:31.920 --> 00:46:32.239
<v Speaker 2>thank you.

826
00:46:32.320 --> 00:46:34.840
<v Speaker 11>For taking my call. Dan. I'm putting one hundred and

827
00:46:34.920 --> 00:46:37.119
<v Speaker 11>one dollar bet that the voice of Reason will not

828
00:46:37.320 --> 00:46:40.320
<v Speaker 11>maintain in the next ten days. It's gonna get lost.

829
00:46:41.039 --> 00:46:43.199
<v Speaker 11>It certainly has to get the voice of reason that

830
00:46:43.320 --> 00:46:45.920
<v Speaker 11>you command. I don't know whether you're gonna be.

831
00:46:46.039 --> 00:46:47.800
<v Speaker 6>Hold on to it, but we'll see.

832
00:46:48.320 --> 00:46:50.679
<v Speaker 2>Well, let me just say that I have every intention

833
00:46:50.800 --> 00:46:53.719
<v Speaker 2>to hold on to it. I have staked out of position, David,

834
00:46:54.840 --> 00:46:58.639
<v Speaker 2>which is I hope that whoever wins the White House

835
00:46:59.400 --> 00:47:02.719
<v Speaker 2>wins with a clear, decisive margin, because I do not

836
00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:05.559
<v Speaker 2>want to see us go through what we've gone through

837
00:47:05.800 --> 00:47:09.679
<v Speaker 2>in twenty sixteen and even more importantly, in twenty twenty.

838
00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:12.559
<v Speaker 2>So I will relieve the voice of reason here.

839
00:47:12.880 --> 00:47:17.000
<v Speaker 11>Okay, Love, I love I love that strategy, and also again.

840
00:47:17.159 --> 00:47:19.840
<v Speaker 11>You know the shades of Ireland with collect when you

841
00:47:19.920 --> 00:47:22.800

842
00:47:22.880 --> 00:47:25.400

888
00:49:27.360 --> 00:49:29.519
<v Speaker 11>He wanted to do the twin lobster? Especially, he thought

889
00:49:29.559 --> 00:49:31.599
<v Speaker 11>he was that legal seafood. I don't know, I mean

890
00:49:31.679 --> 00:49:33.440
<v Speaker 11>it was. It's how long?

891
00:49:33.519 --> 00:49:34.960
<v Speaker 2>That serious? When they ad I met? This is a

892
00:49:35.039 --> 00:49:37.440
<v Speaker 2>serious question, David. How long would they last? So you

893
00:49:37.559 --> 00:49:39.760
<v Speaker 2>go home and you have a couple for dinner. Now

894
00:49:39.800 --> 00:49:41.760
<v Speaker 2>you've got four lobster. You want to put him in

895
00:49:41.760 --> 00:49:43.519
<v Speaker 2>the fridge and then you bring him out the next night?

896
00:49:43.599 --> 00:49:44.480
<v Speaker 2>How long did they last?

897
00:49:44.719 --> 00:49:47.480
<v Speaker 11>They only weigh they only weigh less than they weigh

898
00:49:47.599 --> 00:49:49.400
<v Speaker 11>less than a pound. You know they're a pound, they're

899
00:49:49.400 --> 00:49:51.079
<v Speaker 11>a pound and a quarter pound and a half. Once

900
00:49:51.159 --> 00:49:53.440
<v Speaker 11>they cook them, they weigh less than a pound. We'll

901
00:49:53.519 --> 00:49:56.159
<v Speaker 11>leave these lay my bothery, three lobsters each like it's

902
00:49:56.199 --> 00:49:57.920
<v Speaker 11>like it's going out of business. No problem.

903
00:49:58.000 --> 00:50:00.599
<v Speaker 2>Were good for you and good for your daddy, hot butter.

904
00:50:01.679 --> 00:50:03.840
<v Speaker 2>Thank your dad for his service. Boy.

905
00:50:03.920 --> 00:50:07.760
<v Speaker 11>That's I know he's uh, he's sometimes, but what I

906
00:50:07.880 --> 00:50:13.480
<v Speaker 11>got blown away? The Walgreens on Senna Street on West Roxbury.

907
00:50:14.360 --> 00:50:17.079
<v Speaker 2>Walgreens on Senate Street in West Roxbury. I know exactly

908
00:50:17.159 --> 00:50:19.239
<v Speaker 2>where that used to be. That used to be where

909
00:50:19.320 --> 00:50:20.159
<v Speaker 2>Roach Brothers was.

910
00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:23.639
<v Speaker 11>Sure the show wasn't. I mean, it's in the heart

911
00:50:23.880 --> 00:50:27.960
<v Speaker 11>of West Roxbury. There's not another Walgreens for I you know,

912
00:50:28.280 --> 00:50:31.800
<v Speaker 11>miles miles around you. I'm like sou in the world

913
00:50:32.119 --> 00:50:35.840

914
00:50:35.960 --> 00:50:37.920

915
00:50:38.159 --> 00:50:40.440
<v Speaker 11>and I said, they cause, well, I get my prescription

916
00:50:40.599 --> 00:50:43.320
<v Speaker 11>from CBS, so I don't care. I said, I hope

917
00:50:43.360 --> 00:50:46.039
<v Speaker 11>CBS stopped charging you one hundred bucks for your prescription

918
00:50:46.199 --> 00:50:50.480
<v Speaker 11>because without competition, you're gonna be, you know, wherever you're

919
00:50:50.480 --> 00:50:50.760
<v Speaker 11>gonna be.

920
00:50:50.880 --> 00:50:53.079
<v Speaker 2>But you know what's a great thing about Walgreens in

<v Speaker 7>I go right ahead, big good evening. I wanted to

943
00:52:01.519 --> 00:52:04.480
<v Speaker 7>thank the caller that told the story about, uh, the

944
00:52:04.599 --> 00:52:07.639
<v Speaker 7>lobster shows left around the store. I got a kick

945
00:52:07.679 --> 00:52:08.639
<v Speaker 7>out of that quite a bit.

946
00:52:09.960 --> 00:52:12.320
<v Speaker 2>You know, you could you could really trip or fall

947
00:52:12.440 --> 00:52:14.480
<v Speaker 2>in one of those the way they can get a

948
00:52:14.480 --> 00:52:15.239
<v Speaker 2>little dangerous.

949
00:52:15.840 --> 00:52:18.480
<v Speaker 7>Definitely, definitely a unique experience.

950
00:52:18.880 --> 00:52:21.239
<v Speaker 2>Yes, clean up on Aisle five.

951
00:52:21.480 --> 00:52:26.920
<v Speaker 7>Maybe you know exactly exactly I live in. I live

952
00:52:26.960 --> 00:52:30.440
<v Speaker 7>in Hudson, and luckily the stopping shop here is not

953
00:52:30.559 --> 00:52:34.559
<v Speaker 7>going to be closed and the town has other numerous grocers.

954
00:52:34.599 --> 00:52:37.559
<v Speaker 7>Those they have a Shaw's and they have a like

955
00:52:37.760 --> 00:52:41.519
<v Speaker 7>Walmart superstore. And they also like if you go like

956
00:52:41.679 --> 00:52:46.039
<v Speaker 7>one Town South in Mabroo, they have a Price Chopper

957
00:52:46.360 --> 00:52:50.239
<v Speaker 7>and a Hana Fruits. So there's no there's no lack

958
00:52:50.320 --> 00:52:53.559
<v Speaker 7>of of you know, grocery stores to choose from. But

959
00:52:53.760 --> 00:52:55.960
<v Speaker 7>the thing that kind of irritates me is, you know,

960
00:52:56.840 --> 00:52:59.920
<v Speaker 7>you know these when when the store is sell out,

961
00:53:00.119 --> 00:53:03.519
<v Speaker 7>these foreign companies, you know, that money goes I imagine

962
00:53:03.559 --> 00:53:07.039
<v Speaker 7>the money goes overseas. That's where they get the profits.

963
00:53:07.280 --> 00:53:10.480
<v Speaker 7>And it's not the local community you know that owns

964
00:53:10.559 --> 00:53:14.239
<v Speaker 7>the store or regional community that owns these stores, you know,

965
00:53:14.599 --> 00:53:16.480
<v Speaker 7>and that that that kind of bothers me, and I

966
00:53:16.559 --> 00:53:18.800
<v Speaker 7>think it kind of weakens our economy a little bit.

967
00:53:19.320 --> 00:53:19.679
<v Speaker 8>And the.

968
00:53:21.400 --> 00:53:24.039
<v Speaker 7>You know and and like stop much something me and

969
00:53:24.119 --> 00:53:25.480
<v Speaker 7>you know they have like I think on one of

970
00:53:25.519 --> 00:53:28.679
<v Speaker 7>the topics on another another show you had was you

971
00:53:28.760 --> 00:53:31.519
<v Speaker 7>know they have uh, you know enough person knowing there

972
00:53:31.559 --> 00:53:35.239
<v Speaker 7>they have like enough people uh when when you check

973
00:53:35.320 --> 00:53:38.679
<v Speaker 7>out as opposed that you're using the self scan machines,

974
00:53:39.119 --> 00:53:40.400
<v Speaker 7>which I think is a good thing.

975
00:53:41.119 --> 00:53:41.519
<v Speaker 11>And the.

976
00:53:43.599 --> 00:53:45.679
<v Speaker 7>The other thing I just wanted to mention was the

977
00:53:46.599 --> 00:53:51.079
<v Speaker 7>I said that the Robinson's Hardware. Uh that that I

978
00:53:51.119 --> 00:53:54.320
<v Speaker 7>guess is closing now in Hudson. You know, they were

979
00:53:54.679 --> 00:53:58.920
<v Speaker 7>extremely helpful, you know, because if you're looking around, they

980
00:53:58.920 --> 00:54:02.119
<v Speaker 7>see you're looking around and people you know that someone

981
00:54:02.159 --> 00:54:03.760
<v Speaker 7>would approach it. It can I help you with what

982
00:54:03.880 --> 00:54:06.360
<v Speaker 7>you're looking for, and it's great. You know, when you

983
00:54:06.440 --> 00:54:08.599
<v Speaker 7>want to do get a job done, you just want

984
00:54:08.639 --> 00:54:10.800
<v Speaker 7>to run in and run out, as opposed to go

985
00:54:10.880 --> 00:54:15.199
<v Speaker 7>into one of the big stop, big, big big bucks

986
00:54:15.239 --> 00:54:18.119
<v Speaker 7>stores that I won't mention, you know, but yeah, and

987
00:54:18.199 --> 00:54:20.119
<v Speaker 7>then they said the stop the stopping shop. I mean

988
00:54:20.440 --> 00:54:22.320
<v Speaker 7>they have they have like a lot of their own

989
00:54:22.800 --> 00:54:25.639
<v Speaker 7>uh brand name stuff, which which I enjoy and you

990
00:54:25.719 --> 00:54:28.079
<v Speaker 7>get it at a discount and it's good quality, you know.

991
00:54:28.639 --> 00:54:31.960
<v Speaker 7>And they said there there is a market Basket, but

992
00:54:32.079 --> 00:54:35.639
<v Speaker 7>that's on the outside of town and that has you know,

993
00:54:35.760 --> 00:54:38.039
<v Speaker 7>that has I guess, I guess more of a selection

994
00:54:38.519 --> 00:54:42.360
<v Speaker 7>than any of the stores. And uh, but I mean

995
00:54:42.599 --> 00:54:46.599
<v Speaker 7>I think it's unfortunately for people that live in certain

996
00:54:46.639 --> 00:54:49.320
<v Speaker 7>areas that you know, they're they're kind of maybe they

997
00:54:49.320 --> 00:54:51.719
<v Speaker 7>don't have access to transportation.

998
00:54:53.320 --> 00:54:56.199
<v Speaker 2>And it's always it's always the poorest communities who are

999
00:54:56.239 --> 00:54:59.320
<v Speaker 2>hardest hit in that situation, and and people who don't

1000
00:54:59.400 --> 00:55:02.559
<v Speaker 2>have cars or have to rely and then they have

1001
00:55:02.719 --> 00:55:06.159
<v Speaker 2>to carry grocery bags, and oftentimes they're older people. It's

1002
00:55:06.239 --> 00:55:08.360
<v Speaker 2>just it's just not fair. Hey, I got a question

1003
00:55:08.480 --> 00:55:11.119
<v Speaker 2>for you in Hudson. What's the name of the deli.

1004
00:55:11.199 --> 00:55:13.440
<v Speaker 2>There's a big circle in Hudson and there's a really

1005
00:55:13.559 --> 00:55:17.159
<v Speaker 2>there's a really nice deli there, a breakfast place right.

1006
00:55:17.239 --> 00:55:21.599
<v Speaker 7>Oh God, I know exactly what you mean. I can't

1007
00:55:22.079 --> 00:55:25.199
<v Speaker 7>I guess you can't require it because I've been blind

1008
00:55:25.440 --> 00:55:28.880
<v Speaker 7>for most of this year, so I've the names when

1009
00:55:28.920 --> 00:55:31.519
<v Speaker 7>I go by there, but I know what you I

1010
00:55:31.599 --> 00:55:32.679
<v Speaker 7>know which one you're talking about it.

1011
00:55:32.840 --> 00:55:34.559
<v Speaker 2>I know as a matter of fact, you know you

1012
00:55:34.719 --> 00:55:36.880
<v Speaker 2>had Governor Salucci. I don't know how long you've lived

1013
00:55:36.880 --> 00:55:39.639
<v Speaker 2>in hub Hudson, but Paul Salucci, so I'm sure you know,

1014
00:55:39.880 --> 00:55:43.199
<v Speaker 2>former governor of Massachusetts who's no longer with us, was

1015
00:55:43.239 --> 00:55:47.239
<v Speaker 2>the governor of Massachusetts. He became governor in nineteen ninety

1016
00:55:47.360 --> 00:55:50.760
<v Speaker 2>seven when Bill Weld resigned in his pursuit of becoming

1017
00:55:50.840 --> 00:55:54.559
<v Speaker 2>the US Ambassador to Mexico. And the morning that Paul

1018
00:55:54.639 --> 00:55:57.519
<v Speaker 2>Sulucci was going to be sworn in as governor, I

1019
00:55:57.639 --> 00:56:00.719
<v Speaker 2>had breakfast with him that morning inside that breakfast spot.

1020
00:56:00.800 --> 00:56:02.280
<v Speaker 2>And it was a great breakfast place.

1021
00:56:02.639 --> 00:56:06.079
<v Speaker 7>So oh no kidding, Wow, yeah, if you go in there.

1022
00:56:06.079 --> 00:56:07.440
<v Speaker 2>How long you lived in Hudson.

1023
00:56:08.039 --> 00:56:09.039
<v Speaker 7>Thirty plus years?

1024
00:56:09.480 --> 00:56:12.599
<v Speaker 2>All right? Sure? And and I had one of my

1025
00:56:12.800 --> 00:56:17.079
<v Speaker 2>best friends played hockey with at Boston State College, Terry Barry,

1026
00:56:17.239 --> 00:56:20.639
<v Speaker 2>was from Hudson. He went on and became a DEA agent.

1027
00:56:20.760 --> 00:56:22.800
<v Speaker 2>So I know Hudson pretty well. It's a great a

1028
00:56:22.840 --> 00:56:23.360
<v Speaker 2>great town.

1029
00:56:24.239 --> 00:56:26.239
<v Speaker 7>Well then they come to they come, they come along

1030
00:56:26.320 --> 00:56:28.920
<v Speaker 7>pretty good, you know, the rev, the REVEMP, downtown and

1031
00:56:29.039 --> 00:56:33.760
<v Speaker 7>all that stuff. But I'm glad you were fortunate to enjoy,

1032
00:56:34.400 --> 00:56:37.159
<v Speaker 7>you know, meal with with the governor because he seemed

1033
00:56:37.199 --> 00:56:39.039
<v Speaker 7>to be a pretty friendly person.

1034
00:56:39.239 --> 00:56:42.159
<v Speaker 2>You know, he's a good guy. Paul si Lucci was

1035
00:56:42.199 --> 00:56:45.639
<v Speaker 2>a good guy. Unfortunately he got sick. Yeah yeah, much

1036
00:56:45.840 --> 00:56:48.519

00:56:58.239 --> 00:57:00.519
<v Speaker 2>I hope that all the little ghosts and godplins have

1041
00:57:00.800 --> 00:57:02.960
<v Speaker 2>finished their trick or treating and that there have been

1042
00:57:03.039 --> 00:57:06.000
<v Speaker 2>no accidents or injuries tonight. But this is the night

1043
00:57:06.000 --> 00:57:08.519
<v Speaker 2>when if you're driving, you need to be very very careful. Okay,

1044
00:57:08.519 --> 00:57:10.320
<v Speaker 2>I got a couple of open lines. Come on, let's

1045
00:57:10.320 --> 00:57:13.840
<v Speaker 2>go finish strong, folks. Six seven, two, four, ten thirty,

1046
00:57:14.400 --> 00:57:17.599
<v Speaker 2>six one, seven, nine thirty. I'm going to talk to Karen,

1047
00:57:17.679 --> 00:57:20.920
<v Speaker 2>who's calling in from Wisconsin. But I also got room

1048
00:57:20.960 --> 00:57:22.880
<v Speaker 2>for a couple more callers. Love to have you join

1049
00:57:22.960 --> 00:57:25.519
<v Speaker 2>the conversation real quickly here at the end of the night,

1050
00:57:25.880 --> 00:57:30.960
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about in Massachusetts, we're losing stores, brick and

1051
00:57:31.119 --> 00:57:35.000
<v Speaker 2>mortar stores, and that's that's not good for us, it's

1052
00:57:35.079 --> 00:57:38.679
<v Speaker 2>not good for other people. It's not good for our economy.

1053
00:57:39.039 --> 00:57:41.960
<v Speaker 2>And there's a record number of brick and mortar stores,

1054
00:57:42.079 --> 00:57:44.800
<v Speaker 2>big box type stores that have closed around the country.

1055
00:57:45.320 --> 00:57:50.880
<v Speaker 2>And we cannot allow that to happen. Okay, stop buying

1056
00:57:51.000 --> 00:57:54.840
<v Speaker 2>stuff from Amazon, use use your local stores. If you

1057
00:57:54.960 --> 00:57:58.199
<v Speaker 2>don't take advantage of your local stores, whether it's a

1058
00:57:58.280 --> 00:58:02.840
<v Speaker 2>pharmacy or a hardware store or a supermarket, they'll go

1059
00:58:02.960 --> 00:58:05.000
<v Speaker 2>out of business and you'll lose them and you'll never

1060
00:58:05.079 --> 00:58:09.159
<v Speaker 2>get them back. Quick numbers here six one, seven, two, five, four,

1061
00:58:09.320 --> 00:58:11.159
<v Speaker 2>ten thirty. Got a couple of lines there and got

1062
00:58:11.199 --> 00:58:13.719
<v Speaker 2>a couple at six, one, seven, nine, three, one, ten thirty.

1063
00:58:14.639 --> 00:58:17.440
<v Speaker 2>I think it's an important topic we're talking about. Feel

1064
00:58:17.519 --> 00:58:19.639
<v Speaker 2>free to join the conversation. We will get back to

1065
00:58:19.719 --> 00:58:23.960
<v Speaker 2>some politics tomorrow night. We're gonna talk more. We're gonna

1066
00:58:23.960 --> 00:58:28.039
<v Speaker 2>have John Zogby, the National Pollster on uh. He told

1067
00:58:28.079 --> 00:58:30.000
<v Speaker 2>me today he has no idea who's gonna win this

1068
00:58:30.440 --> 00:58:33.320
<v Speaker 2>this presidential race. We'll talk with him, uh. And we

1069
00:58:33.400 --> 00:58:39.960
<v Speaker 2>will also talk tomorrow night with doctor Nazir Gami about psychedelics,

1070
00:58:40.559 --> 00:58:43.960
<v Speaker 2>the potential legalization of psychedelics here in Massachusetts. I believe

1071
00:58:44.000 --> 00:58:47.119
<v Speaker 2>that is question four. He is a noll on question

1072
00:58:47.320 --> 00:58:50.599
<v Speaker 2>four here in Massachusetts. Coming right back on Nightside, Give

1073
00:58:50.599 --> 00:58:52.320
<v Speaker 2>me a couple of more phone calls and we'll finish

1074
00:58:52.360 --> 00:58:54.039
<v Speaker 2>the night strong. Coming back on Nightside.

1078
00:59:05.039 --> 00:59:08.000

00:59:21.199 --> 00:59:27.000
<v Speaker 14>go vote. So I'm so caught up in your h

1086
00:59:27.679 --> 00:59:31.159
<v Speaker 14>your referendums, and I find out I've got like four

1087
00:59:31.239 --> 00:59:34.119
<v Speaker 14>of my own. You know, it's kind of hard.

1088
00:59:34.199 --> 00:59:37.360
<v Speaker 2>You got you gotta full play, Karen, right.

1089
00:59:37.440 --> 00:59:41.800
<v Speaker 14>And I'm Circadian rhythm problems and I'm trying to live

1090
00:59:41.880 --> 00:59:46.239
<v Speaker 14>in two states. Well, you know, it just doesn't work.

1091
00:59:46.719 --> 00:59:50.039
<v Speaker 14>You put out so much tonight, I could, you know,

1092
00:59:50.719 --> 00:59:53.760
<v Speaker 14>I could go on and on, but I decided to

1093
00:59:54.760 --> 00:59:57.719
<v Speaker 14>choose this instead. I'm gonna correct you.

1094
00:59:58.559 --> 00:59:58.960
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead.

1095
01:00:00.199 --> 01:00:04.599
<v Speaker 14>I'm sorry, but it was it was CVS that Roach

1096
01:00:05.719 --> 01:00:08.360
<v Speaker 14>that took over Roach, not Walgreens.

1097
01:00:08.920 --> 01:00:12.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh well, thank you for that question. I misremembered that.

1098
01:00:12.599 --> 01:00:14.079
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Karen. I appreciate that.

1099

<v Speaker 14>correcting people.

1101
01:00:18.599 --> 01:00:18.679
<v Speaker 6>But.

1102
01:00:20.480 --> 01:00:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Anytime you can help me to set the record straight.

1103
01:00:23.039 --> 01:00:26.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm not infallible, Karen. I make mistakes, all right.

1104
01:00:27.239 --> 01:00:31.840
<v Speaker 14>I just had too much to say on everything. They

1105
01:00:31.960 --> 01:00:35.920
<v Speaker 14>want to dump us baby boomers, and I'm with you.

1106
01:00:36.119 --> 01:00:38.760
<v Speaker 14>I wasn't with you that night. We're not going to

1107
01:00:38.840 --> 01:00:41.440
<v Speaker 14>give up. No, we're not going to sit there and

1108
01:00:41.559 --> 01:00:45.559
<v Speaker 14>play those silly games like Shaws and all that stuff.

1109
01:00:45.719 --> 01:00:47.800
<v Speaker 14>We're going to fight back, Okay.

1110
01:00:47.639 --> 01:00:52.199
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, absolutely, I'm with you all the way, Karen, Thank

1111
01:00:52.239 --> 01:00:52.800
<v Speaker 2>you so much.

1112
01:00:53.880 --> 01:00:56.119
<v Speaker 14>And I didn't want to fight that night, but now

1113
01:00:56.440 --> 01:00:57.079
<v Speaker 14>we'll have to.

1114
01:00:57.320 --> 01:01:02.719
<v Speaker 2>Because give us the best prices. Don't make us go

1115
01:01:02.840 --> 01:01:06.679
<v Speaker 2>through some stupid app to get fifty cents off some coupon.

1116
01:01:07.280 --> 01:01:09.599
<v Speaker 2>You know, mark Mark, mark what you want to sell

1117
01:01:09.639 --> 01:01:11.440
<v Speaker 2>it for like the old days, and sell us that

1118
01:01:11.559 --> 01:01:14.159
<v Speaker 2>the best prices. And if you can't give us good prices,

1119
01:01:14.199 --> 01:01:15.599
<v Speaker 2>we'll find somewhere else to shop.

1120
01:01:16.679 --> 01:01:23.079
<v Speaker 14>Right, and mentioned Roach Brothers unless they're taken down now

1121
01:01:23.199 --> 01:01:27.599
<v Speaker 14>by the bike lanes, and they aren't existing anymore. Because

1122
01:01:27.679 --> 01:01:31.039
<v Speaker 14>those bike lanes are there. I hope Roach Brothers are

1123
01:01:31.159 --> 01:01:31.840
<v Speaker 14>still going.

1124
01:01:32.360 --> 01:01:35.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, Roach Brothers are still going. They get great quality.

1125
01:01:35.239 --> 01:01:37.679
<v Speaker 2>They're a little bit more expensive, but they get great quality.

1126
01:01:37.719 --> 01:01:41.400
<v Speaker 2>But those bike lanes are insane. Karen. Wait, you see

1127
01:01:41.519 --> 01:01:42.280
<v Speaker 2>center straight.

1128
01:01:42.760 --> 01:01:45.840
<v Speaker 14>Well, I almost was out it this week and I

1129
01:01:45.960 --> 01:01:50.000
<v Speaker 14>didn't get there, and so I'm out here, you know, being.

1130
01:01:50.719 --> 01:01:54.119
<v Speaker 2>Be careful, Be careful, cross the center, Be careful cross

1131
01:01:54.199 --> 01:01:56.000
<v Speaker 2>the center street, Karen, I got too more. I got

1132
01:01:56.079 --> 01:01:56.920
<v Speaker 2>to go to astro.

01:01:57.079 --> 01:02:01.519
<v Speaker 14>Call call, so I'll let you go back.

1134
01:02:01.599 --> 01:02:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Thanks, Karen, talk to you soon. We're going to go

1135
01:02:03.360 --> 01:02:05.360
<v Speaker 2>next to Bob and Lynn. Bobby gets you in here

1136
01:02:05.920 --> 01:02:08.159
<v Speaker 2>right before the wire got room for you and Louis

1137
01:02:08.199 --> 01:02:08.760
<v Speaker 2>in New Hampshire.

1138
01:02:08.760 --> 01:02:12.400
<v Speaker 6>Go ahead, Bob, Hey, Dan, I am totally with you

1139
01:02:13.000 --> 01:02:17.800
<v Speaker 6>about the Shaws app. Down down with the Shaws app.

1140
01:02:18.599 --> 01:02:24.320
<v Speaker 2>It's unbelievably whoever designed it, they decided to drive customers away.

1141
01:02:25.239 --> 01:02:31.320
<v Speaker 6>It's ridiculous, but real quick. On a positive note, market Basket, Yeah,

1142
01:02:31.480 --> 01:02:35.480
<v Speaker 6>what I love about market Basket is Irdt's business model

1143
01:02:35.920 --> 01:02:39.280
<v Speaker 6>of taking great care of his people. His people in

1144
01:02:39.400 --> 01:02:41.679
<v Speaker 6>turn take great care of you, the consumer.

1145
01:02:42.400 --> 01:02:45.639
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, it gets passed on. It starts from the top.

1146
01:02:46.719 --> 01:02:46.960
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

1147
01:02:47.400 --> 01:02:50.559
<v Speaker 6>And you know, anytime I walk into a stopping shops,

1148
01:02:50.639 --> 01:02:53.039
<v Speaker 6>it's like nobody to talk to. And if you do

1149
01:02:53.199 --> 01:02:57.320
<v Speaker 6>see somebody, they don't want to work with you, which

1150
01:02:57.400 --> 01:02:59.679
<v Speaker 6>is ridiculous. It's it's a terrible.

1151
01:02:59.440 --> 01:02:59.880
<v Speaker 7>Way of sir.

1152
01:03:00.840 --> 01:03:03.280
<v Speaker 2>It's funny. I was in a stopping shop yesterday and

1153
01:03:03.480 --> 01:03:08.679
<v Speaker 2>just like at the deli counter, they're not particularly friendly.

1154
01:03:08.760 --> 01:03:12.559
<v Speaker 2>I guess the circumstances are such that they don't smile.

1155
01:03:12.840 --> 01:03:14.360
<v Speaker 2>It looks to me like and there was four or

1156
01:03:14.400 --> 01:03:16.400
<v Speaker 2>five of them behind the deli counter and I'm looking

1157
01:03:16.480 --> 01:03:19.280
<v Speaker 2>at them and you know, I just ordered a quarter

1158
01:03:19.320 --> 01:03:20.760
<v Speaker 2>of a pound of this and a little bit of that.

1159
01:03:20.920 --> 01:03:23.719
<v Speaker 2>I don't like to have two pounds of something in

1160
01:03:23.800 --> 01:03:26.519
<v Speaker 2>the refrigerator that goes bad. I'd rather go back every

1161
01:03:26.599 --> 01:03:29.719
<v Speaker 2>other day and get fresh food. And they almost and

1162
01:03:29.760 --> 01:03:31.440
<v Speaker 2>if you ask them, can you slice it thinly? And

1163
01:03:31.519 --> 01:03:33.519
<v Speaker 2>they kind of roll their eyes like, you know, you know,

1164
01:03:33.719 --> 01:03:35.559
<v Speaker 2>come on, don't.

1165
01:03:37.000 --> 01:03:39.760
<v Speaker 6>And the people at market Basket, I find are totally

1166
01:03:39.840 --> 01:03:41.440
<v Speaker 6>the opposite of what you just described.

1167
01:03:41.760 --> 01:03:45.039
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, at market Basket, they'll they'll say hello to you,

1168
01:03:45.199 --> 01:03:47.960
<v Speaker 2>and oftentimes they'll recognize you and they'll be saying, hey,

1169
01:03:48.079 --> 01:03:50.440
<v Speaker 2>that's Dan Ray or whatever. And you know, I'm a

1170
01:03:50.519 --> 01:03:52.880
<v Speaker 2>regular customer, so they recognize me more as a regular

1171
01:03:52.920 --> 01:03:54.960
<v Speaker 2>customer than it's Dan Ray, the guy that was on TV.

1172
01:03:55.119 --> 01:03:57.760
<v Speaker 2>But then nice, they get nice people and even the

1173
01:03:57.840 --> 01:03:59.480
<v Speaker 2>people who and there's a lot of people in market

1174
01:03:59.519 --> 01:04:02.039
<v Speaker 2>Basket don't speak English. If they don't speak English and

1175
01:04:02.079 --> 01:04:04.719
<v Speaker 2>you're asking a question, will they will motion you and

1176
01:04:04.800 --> 01:04:06.760
<v Speaker 2>they will bring you to someone who does speak English.

1177
01:04:07.800 --> 01:04:11.000
<v Speaker 6>And not only that, they take ownership of your request.

1178
01:04:11.360 --> 01:04:14.840
<v Speaker 6>So yes, what I mean by that is excuse me,

1179
01:04:14.960 --> 01:04:16.639
<v Speaker 6>can you tell me where I can find the X

1180
01:04:16.760 --> 01:04:19.679
<v Speaker 6>Y Z and they'll say walk this way.

1181
01:04:20.119 --> 01:04:23.199
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, they will lead you to it. They won't

1182
01:04:23.199 --> 01:04:25.880
<v Speaker 2>say it's over at Aisle fifteen on the left, somewhere

1183
01:04:25.960 --> 01:04:28.559
<v Speaker 2>down in the corner. No, I gotta get one more

1184
01:04:28.599 --> 01:04:29.920
<v Speaker 2>in here, Bob. Thank you so much.

1185
01:04:30.159 --> 01:04:32.440
<v Speaker 6>Okay, thank you, Dan, have a great time a friend.

1186
01:04:32.480 --> 01:04:35.039
<v Speaker 2>All right, good night. Give me my time, Dan, how

1187
01:04:35.119 --> 01:04:39.119
<v Speaker 2>much you got a minute? Minute? Half minute? Just a minute? Okay,

1188
01:04:39.159 --> 01:04:41.480
<v Speaker 2>here we go. Let's give Louis then, Louis, you're the

1189
01:04:41.559 --> 01:04:42.840
<v Speaker 2>last of the night. We're going to give you about

1190
01:04:42.840 --> 01:04:44.199
<v Speaker 2>forty five seconds. Go ahead, Louis.

1191
01:04:45.199 --> 01:04:47.719
<v Speaker 15>You were never going to be a sportscaster. We sent

1192
01:04:47.840 --> 01:04:51.159
<v Speaker 15>you Barb lo Bell. But listen, the greatest guess you

1193
01:04:51.239 --> 01:04:55.719
<v Speaker 15>could have Wednesday is if she would, you know, come

1194
01:04:55.800 --> 01:05:01.280
<v Speaker 15>on as thet of current vocation. The lady there that

1195
01:05:01.519 --> 01:05:03.760
<v Speaker 15>used to do the news for Jack Williams.

1196
01:05:03.840 --> 01:05:07.480
<v Speaker 2>What was her name, Liz Walker. Liz Walker is living,

1197
01:05:07.519 --> 01:05:10.119
<v Speaker 2>I believe now in Florida. She's an one day to minister.

1198
01:05:11.440 --> 01:05:13.840
<v Speaker 15>That's who you need Monday night.

1199
01:05:15.679 --> 01:05:18.840
<v Speaker 2>We need prayers, no, no, no, you need.

1200
01:05:18.880 --> 01:05:22.880
<v Speaker 15>To have Liz Walker. A woman that was always able

1201
01:05:23.000 --> 01:05:26.960
<v Speaker 15>to balance the scales of justice, that was always able

1202
01:05:27.079 --> 01:05:30.920
<v Speaker 15>to see through everything. That's the lady that you need

1203
01:05:31.119 --> 01:05:34.360
<v Speaker 15>Monday night. That would be the greatest guest. If you

1204
01:05:34.480 --> 01:05:36.920
<v Speaker 15>still have a rapport with her, Yeah, I do.

1205
01:05:37.159 --> 01:05:39.079
<v Speaker 2>It's tough to reach because I haven't worked with her

1206
01:05:39.079 --> 01:05:41.679
<v Speaker 2>in a while, and I believe that she's now in Florida.

1207
01:05:41.800 --> 01:05:43.880
<v Speaker 2>But we'll give it a shot. Okay, thank you, Louis.

1208
01:05:47.079 --> 01:05:50.320
<v Speaker 2>I know Lobell's a great guy too, a great guy,

1209
01:05:50.519 --> 01:05:51.199
<v Speaker 2>absolutely great.

1210
01:05:51.320 --> 01:05:53.519

<v Speaker 8>You what.

1212
01:05:56.239 --> 01:05:59.880

1213
01:06:00.119 --> 01:06:02.440
<v Speaker 15>I mean it was a conversation was too tough.

1214
01:06:03.639 --> 01:06:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I would have been a pretty good sportscaster, trust

1215
