Speaker 1: It's nice eyes.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you mazy Boston's news radio.
Speaker 1: I want to thank my guest last hour, Sean Dahlph,
Speaker 1: space weather forecaster. I mean, I didn't even realize that
Speaker 1: was really what you'd call space weather, but boy, he's
Speaker 1: a great guest. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Want to
Speaker 1: thank Nicole Davis for calling in. She was the best
Speaker 1: caller of the hour. Wanna thick her very much. She's
Speaker 1: a pro. She knows how to ask a question. And
Speaker 1: sometimes when I had like these these real experts, people
Speaker 1: somehow seem to want to make a point that they
Speaker 1: know a lot about this stuff too. It's tough to
Speaker 1: match your knowledge. If I had Bill Belichick on as
Speaker 1: a football coach, I think people would be calling me
Speaker 1: up and telling me, well, you know Bill and what
Speaker 1: I should be known. We should use more than a
Speaker 1: quick kick from the nineteen thirties or whatever. So I'm
Speaker 1: gonna grab Russ here in New York, who's a holdover
Speaker 1: from last Hour. I want to see what Russ has
Speaker 1: to think, what has to say. Obviously by doing that,
Speaker 1: I'll see what he has to think, and I'm going
Speaker 1: to I have a follow on topic to come out
Speaker 1: that I have coming up. Go ahead, Russ, I'll be
Speaker 1: real quick.
Speaker 3: Dan.
Speaker 4: Thank you for remembering our animal companions at the end
Speaker 4: of your show. It's very meaningful for a lot of us.
Speaker 4: And the two questions I would have asked Sean is
Speaker 4: the implications of the space whether does that imply that
Speaker 4: climate change isn't really as effective on us as it
Speaker 4: we're told it is. And about Cuba. Cuba just experienced
Speaker 4: this massive power failure and I was going to ask
Speaker 4: him if it was a geomatic, medically induced current that
Speaker 4: could have been involved in this And off topic, then
Speaker 4: will you be covering the Dan Penny case down here
Speaker 4: in New York?
Speaker 1: I do expect to, Yeah, I mean follow that case. Well,
Speaker 1: we're not going to cover it on a day to
Speaker 1: day basis, but certainly that's an interesting case. There's all
Speaker 1: sorts of political implications with that case. He's the fellow
Speaker 1: who is a used of killing the homeless gentleman on
Speaker 1: the subway, and it'll be interested to see what the
Speaker 1: witnesses say. They were unable they were going to go
Speaker 1: to the grand jury, and I believe that the DA
Speaker 1: down there decided to indict him directly, which seemed to
Speaker 1: me to be a little bit of a break in protocol.
Speaker 1: The police over scene felt that this guy, who has
Speaker 1: a pretty good record, had done nothing wrong and that
Speaker 1: he had actually tried to intervene. His intention was not
Speaker 1: to kill the individual who died, but was trying to
Speaker 1: keep him immobile because he had threatened other Unfamiliar with
Speaker 1: the case, obviously, but let's see what let's see what
Speaker 1: the facts provoked.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, he didn't allegedly kill him. He killed him.
Speaker 4: The alleged is whether it was manslaughter or murder. I mean, actually,
Speaker 4: I don't know how much facts you get up there
Speaker 4: in Boston.
Speaker 1: But well, yeah, what I know is that supposedly the
Speaker 1: guy I was threatening other people on the subway, this
Speaker 1: guy stood up and I think confronted him and words
Speaker 1: led you know what. I don't have all the facts,
Speaker 1: and then he put him in some sort of a headlock,
Speaker 1: and the guy was died of assixiation. So if he
Speaker 1: was acting in the protection of others and was trying
Speaker 1: to immobilize him, that's one thing. And there should be
Speaker 1: witness testimony which people who were there would would be
Speaker 1: able to give testimony, which might lead to a proper conclusion.
Speaker 1: If his intention was to get up and say I'm
Speaker 1: just going to kill this guy because I don't like
Speaker 1: the way he looks, I don't know what he said.
Speaker 1: That's a different story.
Speaker 4: No, he jumped him from behind. Dan, he didn't confront him.
Speaker 4: This is a factor, and there were three people holding
Speaker 4: him down. I'll tell you what happened with Dan Penny
Speaker 4: is a lot of people contributed money, and the lawyers
Speaker 4: he got are running up the meter and instead of
Speaker 4: having him plea and get out in two or three years,
Speaker 4: they're going to make him go to twelve for their
Speaker 4: own purposes, and he's going to be found guilty ten
Speaker 4: years and he'll serve seven. That's where lawyers.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for that prediction, Russ said. When we
Speaker 1: get around to talking about it, when the verdict comes in,
Speaker 1: I certainly hope that you'll call me back and tell
Speaker 1: me how accurate you are. I don't know as much
Speaker 1: about the case. I simply look at newspaper reports on it,
Speaker 1: look at the times, I look at the post. I
Speaker 1: wasn't there. Whether he confronted him, jumped in from behind,
Speaker 1: that's going to be witness testimony. So we'll see, you'll
Speaker 1: see which witnesses are tested. That's what defense counsel do.
Speaker 1: So anyway, we'll look forward to it. Thanks, ross appreciate it.
Speaker 1: So what I intended to do in this hour was
Speaker 1: because we're going to talk about weather, which we did,
Speaker 1: and we talked about whether that is something that I
Speaker 1: don't even understand, Okay, how something that happens ninety three
Speaker 1: miles away. I have a much better appreciation of it
Speaker 1: now as a result of the conversation which sewn. There
Speaker 1: were certain weather facts that we all probably learned in school.
Speaker 1: That the Sun is ninety three million miles away on average,
Speaker 1: and that at sometimes it's closer to the Earth, sometimes
Speaker 1: it's a little further away from the Earth, and it
Speaker 1: stays in that, you know, we stay in that rotation
Speaker 1: around the Sun. If for some reason we were to
Speaker 1: start to rotate ten million miles closer, it would be
Speaker 1: the end of the earth. We'd burn up. If we
Speaker 1: rotated ten million miles further away, and we're, you know,
Speaker 1: in the range of one hundred and three million miles
Speaker 1: as opposed to ninety three, we would probably all freeze
Speaker 1: to death. But it's been like that for a long
Speaker 1: time apparently, and so the question I wanted to ask,
Speaker 1: is this putting aside your job, putting aside your family members,
Speaker 1: putting aside your friends and all of that. Is there
Speaker 1: anywhere in the world that you'd prefer to live than
Speaker 1: here in New England. We're in New England based programmers,
Speaker 1: I think you all know. And we do have some
Speaker 1: weather events here in New England. Every winter we may
Speaker 1: have a blizzard or two or three. Some winters are
Speaker 1: a lot of snow. Recent winters have been not much snow,
Speaker 1: but it seems that we do we get snow. We
Speaker 1: can get hurricanes up here. I don't think we get
Speaker 1: hurricanes with the force of what the people in Florida
Speaker 1: have experienced with Helene or Milton in the last month
Speaker 1: or so. And then if you look at any other
Speaker 1: part of the country, if you live in California, you're
Speaker 1: concerned about earthquakes. If you live in the the middle
Speaker 1: of the country, you're concerned about tornadoes. Tornado season starts
Speaker 1: in the middle of the country. Obviously, if you're down
Speaker 1: south you can worry about or in Texas they have
Speaker 1: some real heat extremes. Do we have warm days up here? Yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: But from my perspective, even though I'm a native and
Speaker 1: I've never really lived for an extended period of time
Speaker 1: in any other part of the country. Worked for WBZ,
Speaker 1: as they think all of you know for a long time,
Speaker 1: first in television and now in radio. I'd love to know,
Speaker 1: is there anyone out there. We have listeners who who
Speaker 1: call regularly from Los Angeles, we have listeners who call
Speaker 1: regularly from Idaho, from Texas, from Arizona, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Speaker 1: a little closer to home, Florida. Love to know if
Speaker 1: you had the ability to either move to one part
Speaker 1: of the country or have that country, that part of
Speaker 1: the country's weather brought to New England, I mean the good,
Speaker 1: the bad, and the ugly. Where would you like to live?
Speaker 1: For me, it has to be New England. It has
Speaker 1: to be New England. I mean there are some ancillary
Speaker 1: reasons in that you have the the ocean in the summer,
Speaker 1: you have the mountains and skiing in the winter, you
Speaker 1: have the foliage in the fall, you have the rebirth
Speaker 1: of spring every year, which is my favorite time of
Speaker 1: the year, late April, early May into June. So I'd
Speaker 1: like to know is there a part of the world
Speaker 1: that you've lived in where the weather was more compatible
Speaker 1: than what we have in New England. I've been to Hawaii,
Speaker 1: and I've been to Alaska. I was in Alaska in June,
Speaker 1: so that wasn't probably, and I was in one of
Speaker 1: the more temperate parts of Alaska in the southwestern corner.
Speaker 1: Been to Hawaii, which I know is a wonderful place
Speaker 1: to live. But you've seen what happened to the fire
Speaker 1: that we covered a couple of you or a few
Speaker 1: a year or so ago. So I just want to
Speaker 1: throw it open. Is there a part of the world
Speaker 1: that you are aware of that you'd prefer to live
Speaker 1: in with a focus on the weather, That's my question.
Speaker 1: I think we're very lucky here in New England, and
Speaker 1: I mean from Maine to south, from northern Maine, Fort
Speaker 1: Kent up on the border with Canada to southwest Connecticut
Speaker 1: to Greenwich and places the cost Cob, Connecticut right on
Speaker 1: the border with New York. I think we got I
Speaker 1: think we have in terms of just the cards, the
Speaker 1: weather cards that were dealt. Yeah, we have a few
Speaker 1: little little problems periodically, but I think overall, the weather
Speaker 1: here in New England is the best in the country.
Speaker 1: Feel free to agree or to disagree. Six one seven, two, five,
Speaker 1: four ten thirty six one seven nine three one ten
Speaker 1: thirty Where would you love to live if you or
Speaker 1: what weather would you prefer to have? The New England
Speaker 1: is probably the better way to ask the question. Some
Speaker 1: of you, I'm sure, would love to live in places
Speaker 1: like Colorado where you could ski a lot longer in
Speaker 1: the year. Others might prefer to live in the Southwest
Speaker 1: and see very little rain. Let's open the phone lines up,
Speaker 1: love to get your reaction. Six one seven, two, four
Speaker 1: ten thirty six one seven nine. Nice out with Dan Ray.
Speaker 1: We're coming right back now back to Dan ray line
Speaker 1: from the Window World, Night Sides to you. Thanks on
Speaker 1: WBZ News Radio. All right, let me go to Mike
Speaker 1: and framing him. Mike, welcome to Nightside. How are you, sir?
Speaker 5: I'll called before I too, Michael.
Speaker 1: Right ahead? Did I not bring you up? Here? Was
Speaker 1: your audio down? I'm sorry? Go right ahead, Mike.
Speaker 5: Yes, I always said, oh I'd like to move like
Speaker 5: a little more like south, like in the Carolinas, but
Speaker 5: not but after what happens, yeah, one and everything, and
Speaker 5: because I don't know, but like just down there there's
Speaker 5: the people like I visited Florida past three as the
Speaker 5: people are the more nicer there. Here people are so
Speaker 5: freaking rude.
Speaker 1: No ways, say where'd you grow up? Did you grow
Speaker 1: up here?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Born and raised Framingham.
Speaker 1: Yeah really see, I think that's the reputation we have.
Speaker 1: But I really do believe that we're nicer people than
Speaker 1: our reputation. I mean, one of the things that you
Speaker 1: know down south, everybody is very kind and very sweet
Speaker 1: and you you get a lot of that. You welcome,
Speaker 1: love to meet you and all that, which is great
Speaker 1: because I think they're genuine about that. But then we
Speaker 1: get compared to them, this this reputation of we're a
Speaker 1: little frosty, we're a little cold. I don't think we're
Speaker 1: that cold. I think we're friendlier that people give us
Speaker 1: credit for. So it wasn't New England to buy into
Speaker 1: that stereotype.
Speaker 5: Why well, I've linched here in my life and it's
Speaker 5: like the well, well, my parents are from Puerto Rico
Speaker 5: first of all, so I always thought, oh Puerto Rico
Speaker 5: for like, you know, check it out and then come
Speaker 5: back here, and then you got hurricanes over there, so
Speaker 5: you can't even win.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something.
Speaker 6: Well, Puerto Rico has been devastated by hurricane and Puerto
Speaker 6: Rico is you know, as you know, is not a
Speaker 6: US state, it's the US territory and they need support there.
Speaker 1: It's a very poor island. I mean, it has great possibilities,
Speaker 1: great possibilities, and seeing Juan is a thriving city. But
Speaker 1: if you get out on the countryside, a lot of
Speaker 1: poverty and they got they have great weather for the
Speaker 1: most part, except a couple of those storms that have
Speaker 1: gone through have been horrible. So when you when you
Speaker 1: crunch it all up, Mike, if you had a choice,
Speaker 1: if you had, you know, unlimited resources, and if you
Speaker 1: could either you can't bring the weather here. But if
Speaker 1: if you could keep your job and make a baby
Speaker 1: and it's living, where would you live.
Speaker 5: Well, I like Baltimore. My brother was there in the
Speaker 5: Air Force, and I worked for Costco wholesale and there everywhere.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, so yeah you could, I mean you could,
Speaker 1: You're you can. If you work for a big corporation,
Speaker 1: you know, one of the big Bobers tours or whatever, Yeah,
Speaker 1: you'd be fine. So you'd like to live in Maryland,
Speaker 1: So you're kind of getting away from the cold a
Speaker 1: little bit. Is that what I'm hearing saying?
Speaker 5: Yeah, because like, well here it's like jan February cold, March,
Speaker 5: March is cold, April's cold. It's like it wasn't like
Speaker 5: that when I was back in the eighties, when I
Speaker 5: was in high school, we had April vacation week. It
Speaker 5: was always like in s seventies, and it's now it's like,
Speaker 5: you know, I mean.
Speaker 1: Well, here's what I think. I think the weather in
Speaker 1: New England has shifted a little bit. I think that
Speaker 1: that we get a later fall now, in a later spring.
Speaker 1: Do you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, yeah, because but yeah, yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 5: don't know. I'm like, it wasn't like that, but lately,
Speaker 5: like I'm fifty seven and it's like, why is it
Speaker 5: like it takes like till freaking June to get warm
Speaker 5: and it still rains.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, the one the trees, the trees still blossom
Speaker 1: at the at the end of April early May. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that first week in May is like my favorite
Speaker 1: week of the year because the whole summer is in
Speaker 1: front of us. But yeah, yeah, I still wouldn't I
Speaker 1: wouldn't change New England for anything. In my opinion, I
Speaker 1: just I think we have You're gonna have some bad
Speaker 1: weather wherever you are, but I think that our weather
Speaker 1: pales in comparison to the bad weather that's hit other
Speaker 1: parts of the country.
Speaker 5: It is true though, I said that true. I'm like
Speaker 5: I go, you know, I complain to live there be
Speaker 5: like you know what, Oh, we have like nice sunny
Speaker 5: weather and liqu with Florida's getting or you know, the
Speaker 5: middle they always get those hard like freaking you know,
Speaker 5: it's hot, and.
Speaker 1: Well you see those you see you see the tornadoes
Speaker 1: first of all in the beginning in May. And I
Speaker 1: have friends who who live out in the on the
Speaker 1: plains and I mean they we have tornado cellars where
Speaker 1: I mean it's just like the Wizard of Oz, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, we've had some tornadoes in Massachusetts, and we've
Speaker 1: had some tornadoes that touch down, and we've had some
Speaker 1: tornadoes that have done some damage, but they're few and
Speaker 1: far between. Hey, Mike, have you called me for this's
Speaker 1: your first time calling?
Speaker 5: No, I've called before.
Speaker 1: Your favorite Keep calling. I enjoyed talking with you, and
Speaker 1: keep keep keep it listening to night Side. Okay, I
Speaker 1: appreciate it very much.
Speaker 5: I listen to you guys every day when I call
Speaker 5: them before more because I leave at eleven and I
Speaker 5: put you on.
Speaker 1: Well, whatever time you can give us, we appreciate it immensely.
Speaker 1: Thanks Mike. We'll talk again.
Speaker 3: Talks All right.
Speaker 1: Let me go a little further south than Framingham. We're
Speaker 1: gonna go to Pete in South Carolina. Pete, welcome back.
Speaker 1: How are you, sir?
Speaker 2: I'm fine, my friend. How are you great?
Speaker 1: So if you could live anywhere you know in the
Speaker 1: world or anywhere in the United States, do you do
Speaker 1: you think? But first of all, did you get hit
Speaker 1: with Hurricane Helena?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: No, that was way west of me. I'm on the coast.
Speaker 2: I'm by it, you know.
Speaker 1: Normally to go up normally, those things tend to go
Speaker 1: up the coast.
Speaker 2: You lucked out normally. We can't still figure it out.
Speaker 2: How how it hit western North Carolina. I mean, I
Speaker 2: have friends who have a mountain house up there. They
Speaker 2: go for the summer and it's gone just gone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and yes, devastating. That's devastating to uh to realize
Speaker 1: that's a beautiful part of the country, you know, from
Speaker 1: a physical pot is.
Speaker 2: But as far as I know. But as you know,
Speaker 2: I'm a Philly guy and I love southeastern Pennsylvania. I
Speaker 2: grew up in Allentown and lived outside of Philly for
Speaker 2: I don't know, thirty years before Diane and I retired
Speaker 2: and we ended up here in South Carolina.
Speaker 1: But so you chose to you chose to move to
Speaker 1: South Carolina. Now, I'm sure that there might be some
Speaker 1: tax advantages there.
Speaker 2: There are tax advantages, but there's also grandchildren advantages.
Speaker 1: The grandchildren down there.
Speaker 2: Okay, so that's you are here, so you know, that's
Speaker 2: that's great. But watching them grow up in the whole bit,
Speaker 2: and as you know, I listened and call on occasionally,
Speaker 2: but southern Pennsylvania we get the change of seasons. We
Speaker 2: do get some snow every once in a while, every
Speaker 2: once in a while we'll get a blizzard. But overall,
Speaker 2: I would I would go back to the Philly area
Speaker 2: or Allentown. That's where I grew up, That's where all
Speaker 2: my I still stay in touch with my my high
Speaker 2: school buddies and college buddies. And my brother lives in Bethlehem.
Speaker 2: So it's you know that area. And then.
Speaker 1: From your memories, Okay, when does spring begin in that
Speaker 1: part of penn Sylvania. We really don't get warm weather
Speaker 1: here until consistently we get a warm day, but we
Speaker 1: don't get warm weather here until late April because there's
Speaker 1: a lot of Sox games to get played in cold weather.
Speaker 1: Earlier in the year, you can get a nice day.
Speaker 1: When when do you think you really spring has arrived in.
Speaker 2: Southern basically to start a baseball season. The end of March,
Speaker 2: beginning of April. And then remember in February we have
Speaker 2: Paksakhani sil out there.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's one of the biggest scams in the world.
Speaker 1: As far as I'm concerned, I'd love to know what
Speaker 1: did they really? Is there an economic benefit to punk
Speaker 1: Satani Pennsylvania?
Speaker 2: Oh my, oh my god. People come from all over
Speaker 2: the world, just the seeds ground talk. Don't ask me
Speaker 2: why because to me it's erodent.
Speaker 1: P T. Barnum had it right, didn't he?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 7: I know.
Speaker 1: The only thing I know about Punksatani Pennsylvania is there
Speaker 1: was there was a guy who was a shortstop for
Speaker 1: the Yankees and Orioles named Billy Hunter, and he was
Speaker 1: from Pennsylvania exactly. Yeah, never an All star, but the
Speaker 1: Major League baseball player. So you know, you gotta give
Speaker 1: give him his props there, that's for sure.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it's it's like we give him our props. For
Speaker 2: the high school I went to, we had a guy
Speaker 2: who played football that named Recipled who was played for
Speaker 2: the Dolphins and he was a kicker. And then another
Speaker 2: guy was Andre Reid. He was from the other high
Speaker 2: school in Allentown.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he was a wide receiver for the Bills,
Speaker 1: right exactly. Yeah, great, great wide receiver. I think he could.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he unfortunately went to the Super Bowl four years
Speaker 2: in a row and never made it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they got to the Super Bowl. That's the that
Speaker 1: is the Jim Kelly add.
Speaker 2: My friend. But anyway, I say one another thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, yeah.
Speaker 2: I traveled all over the country when I was working,
Speaker 2: and I figured it out. If God was going to retire,
Speaker 2: yeah he'd he'd go to Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, California.
Speaker 1: Sure yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: But California is a great place to visit.
Speaker 1: That was where Ronald Reagan was. That's where Ronald Reagan
Speaker 1: set up shop.
Speaker 2: Yes, well, a little bit further south he was in
Speaker 2: see me, s I am.
Speaker 6: I.
Speaker 1: Well, I think I think that the Presidential Library. I
Speaker 1: think the Presidential Library, Reagan Libraries, and Santa Barbara. If
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, yes.
Speaker 2: You are right, But I think his ranch was like
Speaker 2: between the two. That also was like between somewhere between
Speaker 2: Boston and Wooster.
Speaker 1: Not Wooster, it's Wooster, Ohio. It's Worcester.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, well that's what they called the Wusaws.
Speaker 1: That's right, but it's Worcester, Worcester.
Speaker 2: Yeah, send your picture on Facebook with your sweatshirt on.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Anyway, the greatest, the greatest baseball player from Worcester,
Speaker 1: Ohio was Dean Chance. Yeah, picture for the Twins. You
Speaker 1: can look that one up.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: You've got a great college out there, Worcester College, a
Speaker 1: little small private college in Ohio.
Speaker 2: Well, there US.
Speaker 1: Board of trustees there.
Speaker 2: There was a life insurance company out there that I
Speaker 2: used to be was one of my clients. I don't
Speaker 2: think they're around anymore because we're going back thirty years.
Speaker 2: But I do know that area where you live, as
Speaker 2: you know, it's for me, wonderful history and great people.
Speaker 2: I've never had a bad person that I've met all
Speaker 2: the time I worked in Boston. I consider it my
Speaker 2: second home.
Speaker 1: Well anytime really Okay, Hey, thank you much, thanks man,
Speaker 1: I appreciate I're gonna put you down for South for
Speaker 1: Southeastern PA. That's that would be your place. South and
Speaker 1: Southeastern PA. People talk soon. Thanks very much for checking in.
Speaker 1: Taught you Okay, go and take quick break. I got
Speaker 1: some lines here six one seven two thirty six one
Speaker 1: seven nine thirty Again weather. We talked last hour with
Speaker 1: a weather, a space weather forecast, not like a regular
Speaker 1: weather for a space weather forecaster. Sean Dahal, great guest.
Speaker 1: You can listen to him if you want a night
Speaker 1: side and demand tomorrow. He's with the National Oceanic and
Speaker 1: Atmospheric Administration. Noah. And it caused me to think, Jeep,
Speaker 1: and we live here in New England and do we
Speaker 1: get blizzard yeah? Do we get cold snap in the winter, yeah,
Speaker 1: January can be tough. Do we get some hot days
Speaker 1: in the summer? Yep? But you know they're not bad.
Speaker 1: I love New England weather for the most part, change
Speaker 1: the seasons. But is there a part of America that
Speaker 1: either you've lived in or you'd love to live in?
Speaker 1: I think that no matter what you're going to say,
Speaker 1: whether it's south, northeast or west. I mean, I think
Speaker 1: New England's the best. Maybe I'm a bit of a homer.
Speaker 1: Feel free give me an idea. Pete says Pete in
Speaker 1: South Carolina says Southeastern PA. Mike was saying, maybe Puerto
Speaker 1: Rico's that's in play. Join the conversation. Back after the
Speaker 1: eleven thirty news Here run night Side. You're on night
Speaker 1: Side with Dan Ray on WBZ Boston's news radio. Back
Speaker 1: to the phones we go question of the hour, and
Speaker 1: again it's it spins off of last hour. We talked
Speaker 1: to a space weather forecaster who's talking about weather and
Speaker 1: it's impact space weather. It's impact on our weather, perhaps indirectly,
Speaker 1: but it may made me think about where would I
Speaker 1: want to live in the world. We would I want
Speaker 1: to live in the world or in America they would
Speaker 1: have better weather than New England. I can't think of somewhere.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Dennis in Effett, Dennis Next Time, Night Sat.
Speaker 5: Welcome, oh Iya, Dan.
Speaker 8: I couldn't wait till the twentieth hour. I had a
Speaker 8: I'm better on this well, you.
Speaker 1: Know, yeah, you do get you do get a free
Speaker 1: a Hall pass for the twentieth hour. We give everybody
Speaker 1: an opportunity of the twentieth hour on Friday night eleven,
Speaker 1: even if they've talked called earlier week. So you got
Speaker 1: a hall pass for Friday night if you want to
Speaker 1: go ahead, Dennis.
Speaker 8: Okay, I'm with you. There's no place like the New England.
Speaker 8: I mean, I know the weather's sat in a change
Speaker 8: because our winters are getting a little right, uh, and
Speaker 8: our somemmers are getting a little warm. I think, yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean my view of it is that you got
Speaker 1: to take a much longer view of it that you know.
Speaker 1: I remember the winter of twenty fourteen and fifteen, we
Speaker 1: would creamed with snow and it all winter had been
Speaker 1: very quiet, and then it just picked up in the
Speaker 1: middle of January and it didn't stop for the entire
Speaker 1: month of February.
Speaker 8: That's true, Ay, didn't get happened.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I just think that that we we go
Speaker 1: through cycles. I always say that I am not I
Speaker 1: don't know. I want to see more information on the
Speaker 1: whole issue of climate change. I'm not a denier. I'm
Speaker 1: not someone who's ready to march with John carry here.
Speaker 1: I just you know, let's let's take a longer view
Speaker 1: of it because I think when you think about the
Speaker 1: place where we are right now, where you are and
Speaker 1: where I am, it was back in the ice age,
Speaker 1: we would have been buried under ice literally.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 8: So if we don't like the weather, check around. It
Speaker 8: will change.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you do get that. I mean we we
Speaker 1: had We've got a nice ball.
Speaker 8: I thought we had a nice fall, and I I
Speaker 8: think fall one of our better falls we've had.
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you, I think it's been perfect where
Speaker 1: I am to be honest with me, I just I
Speaker 1: can't remember a fall with as many nice days as
Speaker 1: we have.
Speaker 8: Yes, yes, yes, put out that rain coming and bringing
Speaker 8: down those leaves.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that hasn't happened yet. And I think you know,
Speaker 1: we'll get one of those rainstorms probably a week from now,
Speaker 1: and you wake up in the what happened to the leaves? Right?
Speaker 8: That will strip them? That will strip them. I'm going
Speaker 8: to let it go, brother, all right? And I shouldn't
Speaker 8: be on Friday night.
Speaker 1: All right, man, I'll talk to you Friday night. Thanks, Dennis.
Speaker 8: Hey, I just want to let you know my grandson
Speaker 8: handed me his T shirt. SOD they have a phone
Speaker 8: number where I could get a catalog because I don't
Speaker 8: do that online stuff and all that.
Speaker 1: You can call them up and you can order over
Speaker 1: the phone if you look for something sweatshirts?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 8: Can I get that phone number off?
Speaker 9: Dan?
Speaker 1: You know what you do this, Dennis. Here's what you do.
Speaker 1: You leave me your number, and Dan, my producer tonight,
Speaker 1: will send me your phone number and I'll call you
Speaker 1: in a couple of days. I've got a couple of
Speaker 1: really busy days, but I'll try to get you and
Speaker 1: i'll get you that information.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, Dan, I appreciate that. Have a great night, brother.
Speaker 1: Leave your number for a daytime number and I'll call you. Okay,
Speaker 1: you too?
Speaker 8: Got it again?
Speaker 1: I sound like that. Whatever whoever was that zone, don't
Speaker 1: hang up. Let's go to koreem or is it corin
Speaker 1: Karina corinn in selfie?
Speaker 10: Funny? You should say that it's both. It depends on
Speaker 10: who are you talking to? My family or a friend.
Speaker 1: Well, what do you call yourself?
Speaker 10: Well, I'll introduce myself.
Speaker 2: It's current most people.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay. So if you you pick anywhere in the
Speaker 1: world or anywhere in America to live, would it be
Speaker 1: the New England or somewhere else?
Speaker 10: I got to go with you in the last few college.
Speaker 10: It's gonna be New England. I've had my fist year
Speaker 10: of traveling.
Speaker 3: And had opportunity to travel.
Speaker 10: All over the United States and Billy outside. I went
Speaker 10: to Island for about a month, and I got to
Speaker 10: tell you, as much as I enjoyed where I was
Speaker 10: gone in beautiful places to see, I'm with you in
Speaker 10: New England.
Speaker 3: And we just had this talk tonight.
Speaker 10: That's why I think it's so ironic that it prompted
Speaker 10: me to call into you.
Speaker 7: We were all talking about like how I work outdoors
Speaker 7: in events, so a lot of this depends on the weather.
Speaker 10: And we had a wonderful season for all my brides
Speaker 10: and everything, and like even tonight with the golf outing
Speaker 10: we did, everybody is just raving about, you know, the
Speaker 10: unseasonable perfect weather or what have you.
Speaker 7: And you know everybody had the same sort famous nothing.
Speaker 10: Like New England.
Speaker 7: We have the beauty of the leave right now and
Speaker 7: the weather is just phenomenal.
Speaker 10: And I do agree that our times are shifting a
Speaker 10: little bit.
Speaker 8: I think I.
Speaker 7: Remember as a kid, we didn't see green grass until
Speaker 7: after like close to April vacation, and it always covered
Speaker 7: and that's not anymore.
Speaker 10: And like, I agree with you. The year twenty fifteen,
Speaker 10: I was stubbling every day.
Speaker 2: It was yeah, you remind me, and we had Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was.
Speaker 1: We live in an older hole and we had forty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars worth of damage from just the school, the melting,
Speaker 1: the ice dams. It was rough.
Speaker 5: It was absolutely, oh yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 1: Thank god. We had insurance. Don't get me wrong, I'm
Speaker 1: not complaining, but we had amateurance. So okay, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: just saying, you look around the country, you want to
Speaker 1: live down want to live down south. You look at
Speaker 1: some of those those hurricanes.
Speaker 3: I've gotta be.
Speaker 7: Honest with you. Oh well, that's what it comes down to.
Speaker 10: And the topic of conversations to that at work was
Speaker 10: we all agreed that everybody complains about the cost of
Speaker 10: living and you know what have you?
Speaker 7: And everybody complains about you know, the cost of rent
Speaker 7: and mortgages and what have you.
Speaker 10: I said, but you know what I mean, insurance. It
Speaker 10: might be a little bit more expensive to live up
Speaker 10: here in the Northeast, but I got to tell you,
Speaker 10: it's we're paying for safety, is what it comes down to.
Speaker 10: Because we we have a little handful of blips of
Speaker 10: we can all talk about a hurricane we we went through.
Speaker 1: Ye, remember there was a tornado that hit in western
Speaker 1: Massachusetts a few years ago that hit a couple of
Speaker 1: the small towns out there. Yeah, but overall we're in
Speaker 1: good shape. Coroinn. I gotta let you run because I'm

Speaker 1: out there like three hundred and fifty days a year

Speaker 1: time ago. But thank you, thank you for your service, Herban,
Speaker 1: thank you for the call, and so san Diego now

Speaker 3: My whole life, my whole whole family, going back ten
Speaker 3: generations is all Massachusetts, mostly East and mostly Easterns. That's
Speaker 3: that's who I am. I'm a Northerner born, lived and died.

Speaker 12: then I hear him on your SHOWE all right.
Speaker 1: How about that. It's a small world, right, I.
Speaker 12: Was like, okay, Dad, okay.
Speaker 13: But I remember back in twenty fourteen, a tornado had
Speaker 13: hit Revere, Mass And all I could remember was my
Speaker 13: sister lived in Revere and she had called us and
Speaker 13: told us that it was ripping up.
Speaker 12: Broadway and Revere and that she was getting in her
Speaker 12: bathtub and laying on top of her son. And even
Speaker 12: though that happened, like I would, I'm just a Boston girl.
Speaker 13: I'm just a city girl.
Speaker 12: I couldn't leave here in New England. Is like you
Speaker 12: never know what you're gonna get next, and like I'm
Speaker 12: okay with that. Like I love the snow. I hope
Speaker 12: we don't get hurricanes and stuff, but like the weather
Speaker 12: changing is just like I think it's amazing to watch.
Speaker 12: I like to do photography, so I like taking pictures
Speaker 12: of nature.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well we do get we.
Speaker 1: Do get a variety, that's for sure. But it's never
Speaker 1: as intense as it is in a lot of other places,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean you all get that that those
Speaker 1: hurricanes in Florida and that that white people families, you know,
Speaker 1: homes got wiped out. We have a hurricane. Yeah, occasionally
Speaker 1: you'll see that some house that was on an ocean
Speaker 1: cliff ops into the ocean. But again, I'm not trying
Speaker 1: to minimize that. I'm just saying that overall, I think
Speaker 1: our weather is as good as anywhere in the country.
Speaker 10: Yep.
Speaker 12: Actually the hurricane in Florida recently, the Hurricane Milton, my
Speaker 12: niece and her mom and her stepfather and stepbrother had
Speaker 12: to evacuate.
Speaker 10: They live in.
Speaker 12: Fort Gord or something like that.
Speaker 1: And put a little bit above between Naples and Fort Myers.
