Speaker 1: probably better than you know most of your friends because
Speaker 1: you spend so much time listening here, which I appreciate.
Speaker 1: You know, bike lanes grind my gears. People who in
Speaker 1: shop in supermarkets don't pay attention, and they're they're standing
Speaker 1: there looking at i know, fruits and vegetables, and they're
Speaker 1: blocking aisles whatever. It grinds me gears that when when
Speaker 1: I stop for someone, which I have to and which
Speaker 1: I will always for someone in a in a stop wall,
Speaker 1: in a crosswalk, that for some reason there's a lot
Speaker 1: of people just never turn to look and say thank you.
Speaker 1: They just look ahead like they are the most important
Speaker 1: person in the world, and look, they don't look, and
Speaker 1: someday there'll be somebody who won't be paying attention and
Speaker 1: will run them down. It's just calmon courtesy that grinds
Speaker 1: my gears. Tell you what grinds my gears. When you're
Speaker 1: in a locker room at the gym and people two
Speaker 1: or three, you know, rows over, they kind of close
Speaker 1: the the to the locker they have to slam it shut.
Speaker 1: Any of you experience that. It's a wide variety of
Speaker 1: things that rhyme my gears. We're gonna take the quickest
Speaker 1: break of the night. It's like about a minute thirty.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get right back to phone calls. The only
Speaker 1: line that's open right now is six one seven, nine, three, one, ten, thirty.
Speaker 1: We'll get to everybody. What grinds your gears? What is
Speaker 1: it that really bothers you? And if if there's nothing

Speaker 1: not you're not living life, You're not paying attention. Back
Speaker 1: on Nightside after this.
Speaker 2: Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Speaker 2: Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 1: Bar let's get it roll, and you're gonna go to
Speaker 1: my friend Joel in Natick. Joe, welcome back. You're next
Speaker 1: on Nightside. What grinds your gears? Joel?
Speaker 5: A couple of things, Dan. First thing is I'm I'm
Speaker 5: out of light. And it says, you know you can
Speaker 5: turn right on red. Yeah, you have people in front
Speaker 5: of you on the right hand lane and they just
Speaker 5: sit there and sit there and sit there until the
Speaker 5: green line turns on.
Speaker 1: That's a good one. That's a good one. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I like that.
Speaker 5: I got one. I have one more. The other one
Speaker 5: is the network news, ABC, CBS, NBCA. Those networks they
Speaker 5: don't tell the truth the news, They don't tell the
Speaker 5: whole story like you do when you have your nightside show,
Speaker 5: especially talking I'm talking about like usaid you do a
Speaker 5: better job than they did, onlyk it was just frush
Speaker 5: over it and don't tell the whole whole truth of
Speaker 5: what's going on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we we talked about that this week. As
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, I thought about you because I
Speaker 1: know you had prompted me on that and it, uh,
Speaker 1: it's an important subject, and we talked about it Tuesday night.
Speaker 1: I hope you heard that hour. If you haven't heard it,
Speaker 1: you can always listen to it at nightside and Demand
Speaker 1: dot com. But thank you for that suggestion, and I
Speaker 1: agree with you. You know, let's let's find out which
Speaker 1: one is true, which wasn't, which wasn't. It was the
Speaker 1: Washington Post piece is what I what I read, and
Speaker 1: they was they were substantially true. Some of them were
Speaker 1: not from us A I D. They were from the
Speaker 1: State Department. But some of them are just incredible when
Speaker 1: you when you realize what, why is it? Why are
Speaker 1: we doing this? Why are we doing that? I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just it's so frustrating, and now people are upset
Speaker 1: that people are getting laid off from these jobs. If
Speaker 1: that's what they were doing with my tax dollars, I
Speaker 1: don't want to work them for the government.
Speaker 5: I agree, But how about the person who was how
Speaker 5: about the person who was in charge of the U
Speaker 5: s A. I d all that money she made? She
Speaker 5: made three dollars.
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't see that. Ye did she make them?
Speaker 5: That's a good question. How did you make all that money?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 1: I said, Okay, it just so happened that that her
Speaker 1: bank account grew. Well, we could say that about Dancy Pelosi.
Speaker 1: She's good. She's a good stock trader. Oh, yes, yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: you get my drift, You get my drift. Hey, Joe,
Speaker 1: thank you much, man, Hugh, a great weekend. Happy Valentine's
Speaker 1: Day to you and Roberto.
Speaker 5: Okay, thanks him too, Dann, thank you, Thanks.
Speaker 1: Thanks, Joe, thank you. Let's go to another well from
Speaker 1: Joel to Joe and Belmont. Joe and Belmont. What grind
Speaker 1: your gears?
Speaker 3: Dan? Two things that grind my gears? First, sports sports
Speaker 3: radio the host that takes the lord's name in vain.
Speaker 3: You think they would beep it forty years ago, but
Speaker 3: today it's acceptable.
Speaker 1: Oh that's not good.
Speaker 3: Second, h not being a good listener. And you know
Speaker 3: people who interrupt you three times, you know, during a
Speaker 3: minute when you're trying to speak briefly in something's up
Speaker 3: in a minute. And I know you can relate to
Speaker 3: that because you always say to some people, let's have
Speaker 3: a good conversation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes I'll say to that, thanks very much for
Speaker 1: the conversation. And there wasn't much of a conversation involved.
Speaker 1: I get a little sarcastic every once in a while.
Speaker 1: Every once in a while, Joe, Well, you always enjoy you.
Speaker 1: I always enjoy your calls. You always get right to
Speaker 1: the point, You're direct, and I thank you for doing
Speaker 1: that as always. And I hope you have a great weekend. Okay,
Speaker 1: and let's hope the snow doesn't pile up this weekend.
Speaker 3: Thanks for taking my calls.
Speaker 1: The thanks, Joe, talk to you soon. Bye, g one.
Speaker 1: All right. One of my favorite callers is Glenn's. He
Speaker 1: always has some gears. Glenn, what do you got tonight?
Speaker 4: A couple of things. First of all, I haven't had
Speaker 4: a Valentine in six years. She died of bone cancer
Speaker 4: in the Hebrew of twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: Don't depress me anymore than I'm depressed already, Glenn. Okay, wow, no, no,
Speaker 1: I understand that, I hear you. Trust me.
Speaker 4: The other thing, the ride I had a driver. He
Speaker 4: came an hour elite because he said he had to
Speaker 4: take his break and his break is more important than
Speaker 4: I am. He was scared. I got to report that
Speaker 4: next week, he's supposed to come at twelve thirty. He
Speaker 4: came at one thirty.
Speaker 1: Well, even if he was going to be late, for
Speaker 1: him to say something that is absurd. You know, he
Speaker 1: should have said she the traffic was tough or whatever,
Speaker 1: but he will say that that my lunch break is
Speaker 1: more important than your doctor's appointment or or whatever. You know,
Speaker 1: his job is to get to your to get to
Speaker 1: you on time, and to get you to your location
Speaker 1: on time. That's right, that's really that's really insensitive. That
Speaker 1: And people who may not know you, Glenn, know that
Speaker 1: you're blind and you rely upon the ride. Whoever that
Speaker 1: guy was, he's he should he should find himself another
Speaker 1: line of work.
Speaker 4: Yeah, Bob probably would say he should get a job
Speaker 4: as a cup lifeguard in a car wash.
Speaker 1: I never heard that one, but that's okay. Yeah, all right, Bell,
Speaker 1: always good to talk to you.
Speaker 4: And also I wish I'm hoping, well my favorite thought
Speaker 4: from Midford, but I'm hoping, you know, I get more
Speaker 4: credit Republican woman. Never give me credit. You know I
Speaker 4: have a title. I'm a certified concert piano tuner. That's
Speaker 4: my title. I don't have it on my tattooed on
Speaker 4: my forehead.
Speaker 1: But you know, well again, if anyone needs to get
Speaker 1: their piano tune, Glenn's the man, and I can always
Speaker 1: put you in touch with Glenn. I'm sort of Glenn's
Speaker 1: agent here. I don't get a percentage of his.
Speaker 4: Here are my council here? What you say?
Speaker 1: Always than one, more ways than one? Hey, Glenn talks
Speaker 1: to an every day weekend.
Speaker 4: All right you too.
Speaker 1: Now we go from Glenn, who can be a challenging caller,
Speaker 1: to Laurie and Idaho's my favorite caller. Hey, Laurie, how
Speaker 1: you doing tonight? Welcome Happy Valentine's Day Toppy.
Speaker 7: Valentine's Day to you too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's going on out now?
Speaker 7: It's been snowing all day? Snow.
Speaker 1: Well, what you got today, we're gonna get on Sunday.
Speaker 1: I mean that's the way it works, two days. Whatever
Speaker 1: Laurie gets and I hope we get now I know
Speaker 1: what our weather's going to be on Sunday.
Speaker 7: Well, yeah, we had Well it finally warmed up. We've
Speaker 7: been like singles and teens, and it finally get up
Speaker 7: into the twenties, which means, of course it's warming enough
Speaker 7: to snow again. So yeah, fits it all day today
Speaker 7: and probably for the fourth coming.
Speaker 1: So anyway, brutal day here in Boston today was really
Speaker 1: cold and windy, nasty, nasty day. You could hear it.
Speaker 1: It's it was howland. It was howland gears. I can't
Speaker 1: of imagine anything would grind your gears.
Speaker 7: Well, first of all, I put money on the fact
Speaker 7: that the guys who slammed the doors and the doors
Speaker 7: on the lockers also slam doors everywhere because some people
Speaker 7: are just door slammers. They don't know how to just
Speaker 7: close it. But I notice, and this has been worse
Speaker 7: since COVID. People who cut lines. They think they're entitled,
Speaker 7: they don't care, they just cut line.
Speaker 1: And what type of lines you're talking about, drivers, because
Speaker 1: that would be me.
Speaker 7: But well, no, we actually don't have that much traffic.
Speaker 7: No in the stores, in the post office. And you know,
Speaker 7: I was in Costco the other day, and you know
Speaker 7: how they have the Costco kind of has the two
Speaker 7: you're if you're if you're checking out there's there, you know.
Speaker 7: There the cashiers are kind of reversed of the two people.
Speaker 7: The two lanes of checkout are kind of back to
Speaker 7: back next to each other. And so some lady was
Speaker 7: having trouble with her cane and she's kind of blocking
Speaker 7: both of the line, and there were people, there were
Speaker 7: ten people behind me waiting patiently, and this woman bustles
Speaker 7: up and she just pushes past the lady with the
Speaker 7: cane and you know, gets to the registered and the
Speaker 7: guy behind me said, you know, the line starts back there,
Speaker 7: don't you. No, no, no, doesn't And she just did
Speaker 7: her thing. And I was in the post office the
Speaker 7: other day and some of the women I was actually
Speaker 7: for Christmas. Some woman came in and she was, you know,
Speaker 7: we were wound around and I like to just pay
Speaker 7: my post offic bucks feed, but the peoples were doing packages.
Speaker 7: And so she comes in. She's like, which which which
Speaker 7: line are you in? And the guy said, this is
Speaker 7: there's only one line. Oh there aren't two, No, just one.
Speaker 7: Oh my god, Well I got a time. And so
Speaker 7: she stood there for a while and as soon as
Speaker 7: the end guy cleared out, she stepped over cut in line,
Speaker 7: and you know then she couldn't even do what she
Speaker 7: wanted to do. She wanted to get a change of
Speaker 7: address that she could sign for her son. But I've
Speaker 7: seen a lot of that since COVID, so that that's
Speaker 7: got me ground.
Speaker 1: Well, you know something, I I agree with that, and
Speaker 1: I what I love is that if I'm standing in
Speaker 1: a line. Okay, let's say I'm standing in a line
Speaker 1: in the post office or wherever, it doesn't matter where,
Speaker 1: and the person comes in behind you and they'll say
Speaker 1: to you, excuse me, are you in line? And I
Speaker 1: look at my Oh, I just stand in for a living.
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm in line.
Speaker 7: What can the petunias grow?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean yeah, I just like to watch people
Speaker 1: in the post office line by stamps. That's why I
Speaker 1: stand there of the side. Yeah, that's one of my hobbies.
Speaker 7: Right, and now I'm not gonna step aside and let
Speaker 7: you go in front of me.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 7: The underlying point of their question.
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I'm with you, Laurie. That's a good one.
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, and we will.
Speaker 1: I hope you had a good Valentine's Day today.
Speaker 7: And yeah, I lost my Valentine three and a half
Speaker 7: years ago.
Speaker 1: So quiet, I know it's it doesn't get any it was.
Speaker 7: It was a good show. So that was good.
Speaker 1: Okay. Thanks, we've had a good we've had a good
Speaker 1: good shows this week. Thanks Laurie. Talk to you soon.
Speaker 7: Good night, good night, good bye.
Speaker 1: All right, let's I'm gonna take one more here, one,
Speaker 1: let's keep rolling here. Let me go to Bill and
Speaker 1: East and Bill, what grinds you gears?
Speaker 5: Dan?
Speaker 8: Did I hear you correctly? The penny is gonna stop
Speaker 8: being minted?
Speaker 1: Yes, Yeah, that's that's was we talked about that on Wednesday.
Speaker 8: Oh are we going to follow Canada's suit or were
Speaker 8: getting rid of that unit of currency because I want
Speaker 8: to maintain it.
Speaker 1: Well, let me tell you something. If that's going to be,
Speaker 1: something's going to grind your gears, because apparently not only
Speaker 1: did Canada get rid of their pennies stop minting pennies
Speaker 1: in twenty twelve, but in twenty thirteen they said no
Speaker 1: pennies are going to be recognized in circulation, so they
Speaker 1: literally went from being worth a penny to being worthless.
Speaker 8: Liked the New Hampshire tokens when there was a new governor. Yeah,
Speaker 8: remember that time.
Speaker 1: I didn't know that one at all.
Speaker 8: Yeah, new sheriff in town, they changed the people that cough.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 8: Well remember when you went up to New Hampshire. Used
Speaker 8: to be able to buy ten dollars worth of tokens
Speaker 8: for five dollars.
Speaker 1: And that sounds very New Hampshire to me.
Speaker 5: I like that, I know.
Speaker 8: But when a new governor took charge, it I forget
Speaker 8: who it was he or she. No more tokens okay, yeah,
Speaker 8: So what do we really learn from COVID? How many
Speaker 8: people cough without covering it?
Speaker 1: Absolutely, it just cough.
Speaker 8: It just forget about the elbow. They sneeze into their
Speaker 8: hands and shake your hands.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm believe a lot of people don't. Never
Speaker 1: learned hygiene in high school.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 8: One of my biggest is the bright headlights in the
Speaker 8: illegal window tint. I've talked to a trooper about this.
Speaker 8: He's like, do you want us to enforce that? It's
Speaker 8: not it's all civil Those loud mufflers, Well they're nothing
Speaker 8: about it.
Speaker 1: He's on jail. But but but if you can, if
Speaker 1: you can find them whatever, or if they're told that,
Speaker 1: hey you got you know, ten days to you know.
Speaker 8: It's a psychological game. I've always operated a bone stock vehicle,
Speaker 8: no modification whatsoever.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, but it looks it's not legal. It's not
Speaker 1: legal to tint your windows because the police can't see in.
Speaker 1: I guess you know. If you don't like it, move
Speaker 1: to a different state. But in terms of high beams,
Speaker 1: if somebody's hitting you with high beams and they're just
Speaker 1: regular high beams, you flash them and hopefully they're small
Speaker 1: enough they wake up and they take the high beams down.
Speaker 1: But if somebody actually goes in and puts in like
Speaker 1: super high beams, they should be pulled.
Speaker 8: Off the roof, absolutely, and they get they're flickering. There's
Speaker 8: stroke lights are used to only be legal on motorcycles.
Speaker 8: It's a very obscure law from the past. No motorcycles
Speaker 8: have those anymore. But now there's a noose headlight. You'll
Speaker 8: see them. You're going to see them now that I
Speaker 8: mentioned it. They'll be flickering. Okay, YEA so many different yeah, yeah,
Speaker 8: all right.
Speaker 1: Those are good ones, Bill, And those are different ones
Speaker 1: that people haven't mentioned before. Thank you much, my friend.
Speaker 1: Have a good weekend, you too, thanks Bill. Here comes
Speaker 1: the news at the bottom of the hour. We we
Speaker 1: will be back with more of the only line open.
Speaker 1: Give you, give you a little hint six one seven
Speaker 1: nine three, ten thirty. That'll get you through if you
Speaker 1: dial the other it's going to be busy. Six one
Speaker 1: seven nine three ten thirty. Back on night Side.
Speaker 2: You're on to Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm WAZ
Speaker 2: Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 1: All right, let's keep rolling. You're going to go to
Speaker 1: Julie in Springfield. Oh huh, Springfield, Massachusetts. Excuse me, hey, Julie,
Speaker 1: welcome back.
Speaker 7: How are you hi, Dan?
Speaker 6: How are you dud Gray?
Speaker 1: What grind your gears? Julie?
Speaker 9: Well, here in Springfield, we have a lot of potholes.
Speaker 9: It's potholes my gears.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And when you blow a tire, how easy is
Speaker 1: it to get compensated for the for the tire blowout?
Speaker 9: I asked you idea, but we have now they put
Speaker 9: like barrels up and apparently like it must be because
Speaker 9: somebody blew their tire and there's barrels up now. But
Speaker 9: I mean it's just it's really bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Well, that that's a good one. I've had
Speaker 1: friends of mine who have lost you know, I have
Speaker 1: you know, have had blowouts. What what's been your experience
Speaker 1: you've had.
Speaker 9: I definitely out and uh, you know, damaged my car
Speaker 9: from potholes in the past, not here, but in Summerville
Speaker 9: in Somerville when I lived there. Somerville potholes were the worst.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, And it's so frustrating. I hate it
Speaker 1: when when you don't get a blowout, but you hit
Speaker 1: you hit a really deep pothole and it's almost as
Speaker 1: if your teeth hurt when you hear it. Do you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.
Speaker 8: It's it's terrible.
Speaker 9: Yeah, my husband has another grape, which is the the
Speaker 9: the Also the high beams, the headlights that are happening
Speaker 9: now that are so bright that you can't see where
Speaker 9: you're going because they blind you when you're driving. And
Speaker 9: these are just like headlights that are put on cars
Speaker 9: normally by manufacturers. They're not no one especially buying these
Speaker 9: headlights are just on the car to begin with. Headlights.
Speaker 1: Yes, yea, absolutely, And there are a lot of people
Speaker 1: who can be blinded by those, and you can have
Speaker 1: some real real series, particularly folks who have a little
Speaker 1: trouble deal of driving at night anyway.
Speaker 9: Yeah, just with the general night you know I have
Speaker 9: that I have a sigmatism in my eye, and it's
Speaker 9: hard for me to see at night. But when I
Speaker 9: have these headlights for me at me, you know, it
Speaker 9: makes it worse.
Speaker 1: Couldn't agree with you more. Thank Julie, Thank you so
Speaker 1: much for listening out in Springfield. How's the signal out there? You?
Speaker 1: Are you getting us out on the radio or are
Speaker 1: you listening on the tablet or or on iHeart?
Speaker 9: But we've been listening for years and years and years.
Speaker 9: Even in Texas we listened to you, we did.
Speaker 1: I'm so happy. I feel like I know you, but
Speaker 1: but I just learned something new that you listen to
Speaker 1: us in Texas. That's fabulous. That's fabulous. You made my night, Julie,
Speaker 1: thank you so much.
Speaker 9: Thanks Dan. Take care, Happy.
Speaker 1: Valentine's d Happy Valentine's Day to you, and stay warm
Speaker 1: this weekend.
Speaker 9: Okay, thanks well, thank you Dan, byebye, good night.
Speaker 1: Let me go to Gary Gees. Something to grind Gary's gears? Gary,
Speaker 1: what grinds you gears? Well?
Speaker 7: Three times so top of my head.
Speaker 5: As follows.
Speaker 7: When you're driving a car and you're coming up on
Speaker 7: a light and obviously there's no traffic from all three directions,
Speaker 7: only you and it's automatically red and you have to
Speaker 7: wait it. Can I say the word s U c
Speaker 7: K S? Can I say it on the air?
Speaker 1: Why'd you say sus? Because that's a better way to
Speaker 1: say it, s us sus. Okay.
Speaker 7: The other two. The other two is this is not
Speaker 7: to be funny and nothing like that. But when you
Speaker 7: go to a public restaurant, any restaurant or a fast
Speaker 7: food and if you catch my drift, you're about to
Speaker 7: sit down in the bathroom and there's no toilet paper.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a good thing to check in advance.
Speaker 7: And last one is this, and this one is not
Speaker 7: a laughing matter because this is serious injury. Is when
Speaker 7: you get the combination on the snow coming down in
Speaker 7: clement weather. That's that mom and pop business says, or
Speaker 7: anybody that doesn't properly shove or throw the sands down
Speaker 7: or the pellets down so people don't slip. And how
Speaker 7: many businesses don't even take care of their walks but
Speaker 7: customers walk into their business.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, again, particularly in commercial areas, it's tough, tougher
Speaker 1: for people maybe who are a little older and aren't
Speaker 1: able to get out and shovel their own drive their
Speaker 1: own driveways. But yeah, you're absolutely right on both of
Speaker 1: those good ones. I appreciate that story, right, good, Yeah, Ghad.
Speaker 7: I've already told you this before. When you go to maccabasket,
Speaker 7: they have a day old bakery and they cut down
Speaker 7: the price from a twenty dollars kick down to ten,
Speaker 7: and then if it's two days old, it goes down
Speaker 7: to five. It's a huge cake or a smaller cake. Well,
Speaker 7: what happened? I went to my mechanic today, who's a guy,
Speaker 7: and he's got two sisters who I went to high
Speaker 7: school with. And she goes, oh my god, it's Valentine's Day.
Speaker 7: Well you just got a twenty four dollar cake for
Speaker 7: nine dollars right now because it's two days old. She goes,
Speaker 7: oh my god.
Speaker 1: Great story, great story, Gary, have a great weekend. We'll
Speaker 1: talk soon. Okay, thanks, buddy, appreciate it. Let's go to
Speaker 1: PEG in New Hampshire. Hell O, Peg, how are you tonight? Welcome?
Speaker 4: Hi Dan?
Speaker 7: How are you?
Speaker 1: I'm doing great? What's what's grind your gears?
Speaker 7: Well, a couple of things. But Glenn said about the
Speaker 7: driver not showing up. People don't understand what a job
Speaker 7: is anymore. It's a convenience to some people and not
Speaker 7: a requirement. That just that grinds my gears and they
Speaker 7: and the other thing is when you're in a grocery
Speaker 7: store and you know, your people walk down the aisle
Speaker 7: and they pick up a steak or something and they
Speaker 7: decide by the time they get in the dog foodal
Speaker 7: they really don't want the steak and they put it
Speaker 7: on the shelf.
Speaker 1: I want to take it back if you don't want
Speaker 1: take it back where it belongs, yoege.
Speaker 7: It is somebody that works in the store. I changed
Speaker 7: my mind, you know, remember the end I moved up
Speaker 7: to New Hampshire.
Speaker 1: Oh I know, Yeah, this used to be picked from Haveril. Right, No,
Speaker 1: I hate know exactly who this is. Sure, how do
Speaker 1: you like New Hampshire. It's been a while.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I've been here three months.
Speaker 5: It's nice.
Speaker 7: It's nice. Yeah, I'm learning how to navigate.
Speaker 1: Once you get to know it. It's an easy state
Speaker 1: to get around. I mean, I think it's I think
Speaker 1: the traffic is a little less than what we have
Speaker 1: to deal with in Massachusetts. Yeah, you know, I love
Speaker 1: New Hampshire. When I get up there and my brother's
Speaker 1: up in New Hampshire tonight and I'm an interview if
Speaker 1: they're gonna have some snow up there, and he and
Speaker 1: his wife will be skiing this weekend. It's it's it's
Speaker 1: a it's a great state. And Governor Sunun, who has
Speaker 1: done a great job up there, obviously he knows, is
Speaker 1: no longer the governor, but hopefully Governor at will follow
Speaker 1: in his footsteps and uh and keep New Hampshire as
Speaker 1: nice as as we all remember it.
Speaker 7: Absolutely all right, I will let you go.
Speaker 1: You have a good night, you too, Happy Valentine's Day, Peg, Thanks,
Speaker 1: thanks so much for calling. Talk to you soon. All right.
Speaker 1: Let me go next to Dallas is in Ohio. Dallas,
Speaker 1: you were next one nightside. Thanks for calling in. I
Speaker 1: was joking with you, but thank you very much. Welcome.
Speaker 6: Yes, how are you doing Dan?
Speaker 1: I'm doing great, Dallas, Thank you man. Yeah. By the way,
Speaker 1: just I want to let people in on the joke.
Speaker 1: Dallas checks us out here when we do the nightside postgame,
Speaker 1: sometimes the nightside pregame, primarily nightside postgame, and I'll always
Speaker 1: tease him. He's always there in postgame and I'll say,
Speaker 1: come on call in some night. So here he is. Therefore,
Speaker 1: the question of the night is what grinds your gears?
Speaker 6: Oh boy, I tell you you're in the state of Ohio.
Speaker 6: You know, we have the the option.
Speaker 1: When you're.
Speaker 6: Yeah the red light and you're on the inside lane,
Speaker 6: the curb lane, you can turn right on red.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 6: Yeah, the problem with that is if you're coming in
Speaker 6: the opposite direction and you're at the traffic light and
Speaker 6: the light is red, and you get the arrow, the
Speaker 6: green arrow to make your left turn. A lot of
Speaker 6: times the people in the opposite of the app they turned.
Speaker 6: I've had near missus several times here in my home city,
Speaker 6: and you know, it's like, wow, I guess they don't
Speaker 6: realize that where you are you have the green arrow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know exactly. We have the same situation here.
Speaker 1: But where you can turn, you can turn right on
Speaker 1: red unless it says no turn on red. Okay, a
Speaker 1: case you do get where it says no tron on red.
Speaker 1: But if there's no sign there, and once you come
Speaker 1: to a stop and there's a there's a location very
Speaker 1: close to where I live, and I know that there's
Speaker 1: a that there's a green arrow on the opposite side
Speaker 1: of the street that I just happen to live in
Speaker 1: this area, so I go through this intersection four or
Speaker 1: five times a week. But you're absolutely right. You take
Speaker 1: that right, and if you're not watching you get you
Speaker 1: can get plowed by somebody coming in the opposite direction
Speaker 1: who's turned left.
Speaker 6: Great point, that's right, that's right, it's it's it's unbelievable.
Speaker 6: Uh I guess I chalk that up as uh an
Speaker 6: h I A. And I won't I won't say what
Speaker 6: that stands for. But a traffic pat that I had
Speaker 6: got the draft. I told you about that, so you know,
Speaker 6: so every time I see somebody do something stupid like that,
Speaker 6: I said, oh, there goes another h I A. You know.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And unfortunately it all when you get in one
Speaker 1: of those acts, and it cost everybody, at least here
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts on your insurance, whether you're at fault or not.
Speaker 1: It seems that that it always it ends up they
Speaker 1: give you, they charge your point or something like that
Speaker 1: on your insurance. So it can get expensive. Absolutely cows
Speaker 1: the winter ben in Ohio the last week or the
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. Have you been getting hit with
Speaker 1: the sap storms?
Speaker 6: Uh no, not not. It has to have been really bad.
Speaker 6: The only saying that is treacherous is you know, we
Speaker 6: get the rain and then it freezes, and then we
Speaker 6: have you know, just the ice skating rink everywhere, so
Speaker 6: you have to be careful.
Speaker 1: But no, we've got a lot of that up here.
Speaker 1: Matter of fact, today we exactly we had rain yesterday,
Speaker 1: uh and it froze overnight and nobody gets it. It's
Speaker 1: it can be treacherous, treacherous. Dalla's great to hear your voice.
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for rising the occasion, buddy. I appreciate it.
Speaker 6: Sure, Dan, take a great weekend you too.
Speaker 1: Enjoy This is like the slowest sports weekend of the
Speaker 1: year when you think about it. No serious that there's
Speaker 1: no football. I think you've got the NBA All Star
Speaker 1: Game this weekend, right right, right, Okay, So that's about it.
Speaker 1: Spring training really hasn't started. Hockey's on a on a
Speaker 1: sabbatical those of us who are hockey fans because they're
Speaker 1: doing the six Nations thing. But I don't think there's
Speaker 1: a game. You know, it's there's a slow sports weekend,
Speaker 1: you know, March Madness. I'm looking forward to March Madness.
Speaker 1: That's the next thing. We got to worry about.
Speaker 6: Well, I could look at tennis. Tennis is still still going, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. Yeah at this point though, I'm uh,
Speaker 1: I don't see tennis as much on TV. I really don't.
Speaker 1: You know. At this point you can sit and watch
Speaker 1: some golf. I'm not a golfer, but it's fun to
Speaker 1: watch because I watched for the pros to put the
Speaker 1: ball in the you know, in the in the woods,
Speaker 1: in the water. Hey, if they do it, I can
Speaker 1: do it too. Dallas, we'll talk again, talk soon, my friend.
Speaker 1: Thank you much, appreciate you.
Speaker 6: Take care, good night, be wel you too.
Speaker 1: We'll take quick break here and Nightside returns What grinds
Speaker 1: You Gears? Joe, Jean, John will get you in, maybe
Speaker 1: get some more coming back on Nightside.
Speaker 2: Now, back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Speaker 2: nights Side Studios. I'm WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 1: Okay, we are wrapping up a week on Nightside, wrapping
Speaker 1: up What grinds You Gears? Let's keep rolling here. We're
Speaker 1: gonna go next to Jane in Everett, Gene, what grinds
Speaker 1: you gears? Hi?
Speaker 10: Jan, thank you for another great show as usual. So
Speaker 10: what grinds my gift? One thing is when people aren't
Speaker 10: nice to others, and the other one is when the
Speaker 10: weather is on and they are not specific to location
Speaker 10: and time, because I take care of three elderly people
Speaker 10: and I need to know every day the night before
Speaker 10: if I can get out of my house and be
Speaker 10: able to walk without ice on the ground, or if
Speaker 10: there is going to be bad weather and I can't
Speaker 10: get out, and they're not real specific lately.
Speaker 1: Well, they I think they tried their best team, but
Speaker 1: I just don't think they know for sure. That's what
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 10: Well, you know, I know in twenty twenty five, I
Speaker 10: was hoping i'd get a little more information the night before.
Speaker 10: That's all the time. They'd rush through it and you
Speaker 10: can't even remember what they just said.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes it's like if you're live in a classroom,
Speaker 1: it's time to take notes, like from the professor. Now,
Speaker 1: I get you on that one too.
Speaker 10: That's one I'm frustrating. Sometimes I'm searching the internet at
Speaker 10: ten o'clock at night because I couldn't really get a
Speaker 10: specific real like in boss Boston area, cities outside of Boston,
Speaker 10: right outside of Boston, and what's it going to be.
Speaker 10: I'm not interested in the Hampshire and all those places.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, they've got a big audience out there,
Speaker 1: so you gotta you gotta kind of sit through it.
Speaker 1: It's a simplest hey, Gene, I gotta, I gotta keep
Speaker 1: rolling the calls. Thank you much, have a great one,
Speaker 1: good night. All right. Let me see, let's move Gene off.
Speaker 1: If you can rob please for me. There we go,
Speaker 1: We'll bust Gene off. Okay, let's go to John and
Speaker 1: Wind of New Hampshire. John, you're next on Nightsiger right ahead.
Speaker 11: Okay, I'm gonna rattle through real quick. I'm a bus driver,
Speaker 11: school bus. Yeah, and cars, cars passing. When we have
Speaker 11: our reds out either going the other you know, our
Speaker 11: direction or the opposite direction, we get quick numbers.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 11: We report them and supposedly they're caught. And my son
Speaker 11: actually was almost run over, uh because of that. Also
Speaker 11: in a vehicle, I hate being cut off when I'm
Speaker 11: cruising along speed limits, say forty somebody comes in onto
Speaker 11: my road way from the side as if I'm not
Speaker 11: even there, and then and then there's maybe ten miles
Speaker 11: an hour under the speed limit. My other few are
Speaker 11: language related. Whoever started the phrase moving forward? In every
Speaker 11: case that I've heard it, if you remove that phrase,
Speaker 11: it totally makes sense. And the worst case I heard
Speaker 11: was a weather guy said the forecast moving forward. What
Speaker 11: other direction are we going to go except forward? So
Speaker 11: that that really bugs me. And the phrase that said,
Speaker 11: I think is totally unnecessary. And the last one is
Speaker 11: I don't know where the word especially has gone, but
Speaker 11: I love that word over particularly, which to me is
Speaker 11: a lot harder to say.
Speaker 1: But I've grieved on both of those. Hey, John, those
Speaker 1: are good ones. Thank you much appreciate it, Thank you, sir.
Speaker 6: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Last of the week, Joe and Lynn Joe. What grinds you? Geary?
Speaker 12: Two things. I'll be quick and I agree with Glenn
Speaker 12: because I've had the same thing. Thanks for congratulating me.
Speaker 12: A few months ago with mc a D. We worked
Speaker 12: out a settlement agreement. You're going to love this.
Speaker 4: This is right up your alley.
Speaker 12: Why in these agreements no one admits they're wrong. No apologies, No,
Speaker 12: let's sit out and talk, we'll settle. But black blah,
Speaker 12: but we've done nothing wrong. And my other one is
Speaker 12: the recordings you get, but the doctors or the hospital.
Speaker 12: I still have a private doctor and I don't get
Speaker 12: a recording. I hate that. That bugs the devil out
Speaker 12: of me. I like your comment.
Speaker 1: Good for you to have a private doctor. You're really
Speaker 1: lucky because to get a piece of its old.
Speaker 12: He's getting too old. He mean to be around.
Speaker 1: No, I hear you. Hold on to them. Hold on
Speaker 1: to them as long as you can, simple as that.
Speaker 6: Okay, okay, all right?
Speaker 12: Jug settlement?
Speaker 1: All right? I sent you that email. Try that email
Speaker 1: and I think they'll respond back to you.
Speaker 12: Okay, I will, Okay. Can you tell me about a
Speaker 12: settlement agreement? Why do they do that and they don't
Speaker 12: admit wrong doing or anything. I don't understand, because that's
Speaker 12: why you do. You stay out of court. That's why
Speaker 12: you do a settlement.
Speaker 1: You don't one. You never want to admit liability, and
Speaker 1: you want to have an NDA with that to make
Speaker 1: sure that's the As the lawyer for the for the
Speaker 1: side that's being sued, if you can say to the
Speaker 1: person you want to sue me, it'll it'll take six years,
Speaker 1: seven years. We can settle it now. But one of
Speaker 1: the things we got to do is agree that we're
Speaker 1: not going to admit any any any liability.
Speaker 12: So strange to make it.
Speaker 1: It's called practicing law. Joe, Joe, you gotta get They
Speaker 1: teach that stuff at law school, Thanks Joe. And if
Speaker 1: if they don't teach you in law school, you learn
Speaker 1: it when you're a lawyer, all right. And if good sued,
Speaker 1: thanks Joe. Got to go. All right, everybody, We're done
Speaker 1: for the week. It's been a long week. Week in
Speaker 1: Februaries tend to be long. But I've enjoyed every minute
Speaker 1: of it. I hope you have as well. I will

Speaker 1: of minutes. I'll get you. I'll get there as quickly
Speaker 1: as I possibly can. Want to thank Rob, want to
