Speaker 1: It's nice eye yelling Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back in everybody. We are at the
Speaker 2: twentieth hour of the week here on Nightside. And for
Speaker 2: those of you, and by the way, I hope Davies listening, Davy.
Speaker 2: I meant that if you know you're getting back to
Speaker 2: Boston anytime soon, give me a call. And you know,
Speaker 2: I remember you as a as a as a regular
Speaker 2: caller from Mississippi, and then when you moved to Illinois,
Speaker 2: you always brought your a game. You're a very upbeat,
Speaker 2: positive guy. I love to buy your beer next time
Speaker 2: you get to Boston or Rob gave you my number.
Speaker 2: If you give me, give me a call, and I'll
Speaker 2: try to try to do whatever we can to to
Speaker 2: say hello. That's for sure. We're friendly people up here
Speaker 2: in Newland. We don't have that reputation. We have the
Speaker 2: reputation of being kind of dour and not particularly the
Speaker 2: warmest people in the world. I think just the opposite.
Speaker 2: To be really honest with you, now, we're gonna get
Speaker 2: positive here. Okay. I'm gonna have to drag maybe a
Speaker 2: lot of you into this positivity because it has been
Speaker 2: a tough week. Okay, it's a tough weeks. We're still
Speaker 2: dealing with the the on and off winter weather. I mean,
Speaker 2: it's spring. Spring. Spring sprung on March twenty first. That's
Speaker 2: two weeks ago at this point. So when you think
Speaker 2: about it, we're every every season gets thirteen weeks. So
Speaker 2: if you want to get really depressed, two weeks of
Speaker 2: spring have already gone. So we have two of the
Speaker 2: thirteen weeks gone. We only have eleven weeks of spring left. Yeah. No,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make I'm gonna help. I'm gonna try and
Speaker 2: with your help, make it positive. We do a program
Speaker 2: on Facebook every day every afternoon and every night right
Speaker 2: after the show in the afternoon. It's either myself or
Speaker 2: producer Marita, who is doing the podcast if you will,
Speaker 2: the live shot whatever you want to call it. On Facebook.
Speaker 2: We have a web page called Nightside with Dan Ray.
Speaker 2: You've got a couple of other web pages, but that's
Speaker 2: the one that either Marita or I will be with
Speaker 2: you at four thirty in the afternoon tell you them
Speaker 2: what's coming up on the show. It's always four thirty.
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's four thirty one, sometimes it's four twenty nine.
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's four thirty two. But we get there okay,
Speaker 2: and we have a good conversation, and I do a
Speaker 2: show right after the show. We call it Nightside Postgame, Okay,
Speaker 2: same way, it's on Nightside with Dan Ray on Facebook.
Speaker 2: And I go over the show with you, and I
Speaker 2: tell you what I think of the show, and if
Speaker 2: I think it's like a great show, I'll tell you that.
Speaker 2: If I think it's like a not so great show,
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that too. And we have a loyal
Speaker 2: group of people who join us, some in the afternoon,
Speaker 2: some at night, some both in the afternoon and at night.
Speaker 2: And one of the folks this week told us that
Speaker 2: he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer around Christmas time,
Speaker 2: and he told us that he was pronounced clear of
Speaker 2: the cancer this week. Well, I gotta tell you that
Speaker 2: was the best news I heard for anyone all week.
Speaker 2: And I hope, I hope that some of you have
Speaker 2: had some good news this week. I had a great
Speaker 2: piece of news today. My daughter in law sent me
Speaker 2: pictures of our grandson Benjamin, who spent had his first
Speaker 2: picture day. I get maybe his second picture day. He's
Speaker 2: not even threes two and three quarters. I'm a grandfather
Speaker 2: and Marita, our producer, is a mom. She has a
Speaker 2: little girl named Stella, who I saw a picture of
Speaker 2: Stella today wearing her Red Sox uniform with her name
Speaker 2: on the back, cute as a button. So those are
Speaker 2: the sort of things that were positive for me this week,
Speaker 2: and I hope you've had some positive experiences as well.
Speaker 2: So what I'm going to do is I'm just going
Speaker 2: to open up the phone lines. My audience. Never disappoints me, okay,
Speaker 2: and don't disappoint me tonight, because this is an important
Speaker 2: hour for us. It's the last one until we see
Speaker 2: you again on Monday Night. But I did want to briefly,
Speaker 2: briefly hit some of the highlights of a week that
Speaker 2: didn't have a lot of highlights. Okay. We talked earlier
Speaker 2: in the week about the Karen Reid trial, the jury
Speaker 2: selection starting. We talked about sort of a dystopian view
Speaker 2: on Monday night at ate about a jobless society where
Speaker 2: the robots would take over. I don't believe that. We
Speaker 2: talked about an invasive species called green crabs with a
Speaker 2: woman that is turning green crabs into a broth that
Speaker 2: she says would be quite tasty, and all of that,
Speaker 2: We talked again about the jury selection. We did two
Speaker 2: and a half hours on social security, try to calm
Speaker 2: people's fears and apprehensions about social Security. Social Security is
Speaker 2: not going away, okay, but that's okay. We then talked
Speaker 2: about the arrest of some of the students who are
Speaker 2: visa holders, and I think, frankly, that's an overreaction and
Speaker 2: it's a hymn handed reaction by the Trump administration. If
Speaker 2: you go to arrest a student and revoke their visa,
Speaker 2: tell me why, don't tell me that they wrote an
Speaker 2: op ed piece in some college newspaper. The guy at Columbia,
Speaker 2: that's a different story. He was a real active participant
Speaker 2: in some of that disruption at Columbia last spring where
Speaker 2: students were harassed and physically balked from attending classes. On
Speaker 2: Tuesday night, we talked about Autism Awareness Month with Joanne
Speaker 2: Simmons of Northeast ARC. We talked about We talked with
Speaker 2: Eric Glass, the owner of a new rum company here
Speaker 2: in Massachusetts, Rumson's Run. We talked about a trend amongst
Speaker 2: young people that they are going to the bank of
Speaker 2: mom and dad. A lot of young people are borrowing
Speaker 2: money pretty heavily from parents, just for the for the
Speaker 2: everyday needs, the food and rent and things like that.
Speaker 2: And then we talked with a psychologist about white people
Speaker 2: seem to be so unhappy with a great hour with
Speaker 2: Jim Roosevelt on Social Security. Jim is the grandson of
Speaker 2: Franklin Dell and Roosevelt, of course, who signed the Social
Speaker 2: Security Law into effect in nineteen thirty five. And that
Speaker 2: will be, by the way, if you miss that, that
Speaker 2: will be our best of Nightside this Sunday night at
Speaker 2: eleven o'clock. And of course you can always go back
Speaker 2: and listen to any hours of Nightside you missed by
Speaker 2: going to Knightside, by simply going to Nightside and demand
Speaker 2: it anytime during the week. It's available at that website,
Speaker 2: as of course you would expect it to be every day.
Speaker 2: Twenty four to seven. We then talked about the death
Speaker 2: penalty and its application of potentially with Luigi Menngioni that
Speaker 2: has been requested by the Attorney General Pam Bonding, and
Speaker 2: we spent a couple of hours on that. On Wednesday night,
Speaker 2: we talked about alcohol awareness. We talked about the fifty
Speaker 2: greatest athletes in Boston history. Unfortunately, the author did not
Speaker 2: include Louis t ont In, that which I disagree immensely,
Speaker 2: very quick a lot. Talked with the former owner and
Speaker 2: general manager of a minor league hockey team which paved
Speaker 2: the way for the NHL expansion team, the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Speaker 2: Talked about spring allergy season. We talked with Larry Edelman
Speaker 2: of the Boston Globe about the Trump tarriffs. This was
Speaker 2: on Wednesday night. Okay, it was too late to sell
Speaker 2: because of that point that the futures were not looking good,
Speaker 2: and we talked for two hours about the reaction to tariffs.
Speaker 2: Last night, we talked about students here in Massachusetts becoming
Speaker 2: more savvy financially. We talked about this little library up
Speaker 2: in Vermont that straddles the border between the US and Canada.
Speaker 2: Interesting conversation. Talked with Colin Young of the State House
Speaker 2: News Service, how a sung a song became the official
Speaker 2: Massachusetts state poem. Didn't even know we had one. And
Speaker 2: talked with Jeff Herman of Home Gnome about neighbors and
Speaker 2: their pet peeves with fellow neighbors. We spent an hour
Speaker 2: with Josh Kraft last night, candidate for mayor in Boston.
Speaker 2: We talked with Professor Greg Staller of Boston University at
Speaker 2: the Quenstrum School of Business. We had a great hour
Speaker 2: really explaining tariffs, and Greg tells me today that he
Speaker 2: had more response to that our people who listened to
Speaker 2: it and who have asked to go back and listen
Speaker 2: to it if you really want to get an understanding
Speaker 2: of what how tariffs work. The word is thrown around,
Speaker 2: but a lot of people don't understand it. Go to
Speaker 2: the ten o'clock hour on Thursday night and then we'd
Speaker 2: had a reaction hour last night of people talking about
Speaker 2: tariffs and lad Tonight we talked about We talked with
Speaker 2: John Decker, who's an iHeart correspondent signed to the White House,
Speaker 2: but he's a big hockey and he was at the
Speaker 2: game where Ovechkin scored two goals to tie tie the
Speaker 2: all time goal scoring NHL goal scoring record of Wayne Gretzky.
Speaker 2: Talked about children's services in Roxbury and a talent show
Speaker 2: that's coming up next week. Talk with Dan Shaughnessy of

Speaker 2: can contribute. Talk with President Greg Wiener of Assumption University,
Speaker 2: who wrote a really interesting piece in the New York Times,
Speaker 2: really interesting piece. Talk with him for an hour and
Speaker 2: then last hour we talked about the stock market having
Speaker 2: a bad day, a bad couple of days, and even
Speaker 2: a worse day today than it had yesterday. So that
Speaker 2: has been the week. I'm going to take a very
Speaker 2: quick pause. It's not a long break. The only lines
Speaker 2: that are available right now are six point seven, nine, three, one,
Speaker 2: ten thirty. I challenge you. I challenge each and every
Speaker 2: one in my night side audience right now. I know
Speaker 2: it doesn't seem like a very uplifting moment in the
Speaker 2: We're out of March, we're in April. The Red Sox
Speaker 2: won today. There are some good things going on. I
Speaker 2: want to know something good that happened to you this week,
Speaker 2: and let's let's end the week on a positive note.
Speaker 2: The only lines open six one, seven, nine thirty. It's
Speaker 2: up to you to carry the ball and light these

Speaker 2: me something positive to get us going here, go right.
Speaker 3: Ahead, good evening. I first off, I received some news.
Speaker 3: It wasn't some good news, but.
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear I don't want to hear
Speaker 2: any bad news. I just want to hear good.
Speaker 3: I want to talk about that part of it, but
Speaker 3: it gives me some basis for resolving some back issues.
Speaker 3: So go forward. I was initial initially calling to because
Speaker 3: I remember around this time of season, the season of
Speaker 3: time Passover and Easter Easter Resurrection Day. A sermon that
Speaker 3: I've heard of you number of years back. It comes
Speaker 3: to me each periodically, even through the years. I believe
Speaker 3: it might have been done by Tony Evans.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure who Tony Evans is, but go ahead.
Speaker 3: He from the South felled and it goes a very
Speaker 3: short one. It goes, it's Friday. It has to do

Speaker 4: I'm worried that you know that, sure he might have problems,
Speaker 4: and and he really has some real good results. A
Speaker 4: nine year old Cockerpool. I mean, I can't believe the
Speaker 4: unconditional love that my dog, and probably all dogs give.
Speaker 4: Out of eight billion people in this world, I think
Speaker 4: I don't think there's a human being capable of unconditional love,
Speaker 4: but I know a dog is. I know you Childie
Speaker 4: was no question. I just love it. This is my buddy.
Speaker 2: I was talking to my daughter tonight in San Francisco

Speaker 2: great dog, you know, who had had a prior owner
Speaker 2: who was in a position that she had to give
Speaker 2: up the dog. And my daughter somehow was able to
Speaker 2: work it out that she got this dog. And this
Speaker 2: guy is unbelievable. He is just he's a great He's
Speaker 2: a great dog, simple as that, and I hope that everybody.
Speaker 2: And my daughter tonight asked me. She said, Dad, the
Speaker 2: shelters are full of dogs. People don't realize they And
Speaker 2: you know, you don't have to go and buy a
Speaker 2: dog to a breeder. You can you can take advantage
Speaker 2: of there. We did something with I think it was
Speaker 2: the Animal Rescue League a few weeks ago, or it
Speaker 2: might have been the MSP SO I forget which in
Speaker 2: which they were. They were they were not charging people
Speaker 2: for everything. For the shelter dogs. People, if you want
Speaker 2: to smile, go to any of the sheltered dog sites
Speaker 2: on your computer and just look at some of these dogs.
Speaker 2: Even if you're not going to go down and adopt
Speaker 2: one of them, just realize that they're there. They are
Speaker 2: going to provide absolute, total love to a human being.
Speaker 2: In many cases, people who have never experienced really totally
Speaker 2: complete love. They never second gets you nothing. They just
Speaker 2: want to be your brow.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm serious, it's unconditional.
Speaker 5: You love.
Speaker 4: You can yell at your dog in the morning because
Speaker 4: you made a mistake on the floor, and at five
Speaker 4: o'clock when you come home, he's a wagger his tail.

Speaker 2: You know, well, I think the deal. What's so important
Speaker 2: about this, rich is that you know, whether it's a
Speaker 2: miracle or you're just the luckiest son of a gun
Speaker 2: in the world, You've given some hope because there's other

Speaker 2: that belief. I do the same thing when I'm in church.
Speaker 2: I say my prayers and look, you know, no one
Speaker 2: can prove to me that this is it. When we
Speaker 2: finish here and we we have the big dirt napp,
Speaker 2: that's it. And I can't prove to them that there's
Speaker 2: something better. But if I'm if I'm going to believe
Speaker 2: in anything, that's what I believe in. So simple.
Speaker 5: I'm right on the same page again. I believe there's
Speaker 5: something there for me. And we have a mutual friend
