Speaker 1: It's nice eye with Dan Ray.
Speaker 2: I'm going Ezy Boston's News Radio. Thank you all. Busy
Speaker 2: night for the Z News team. Before we get to
Speaker 2: our twentieth hour, I have a little announcement to make here.
Speaker 2: First of all, I would be off next week, as
Speaker 2: I understand. Gary Tangway, we'll be in on Monday and
Speaker 2: Tuesday night, and Morgan White we'll be in Wednesday, Thursday
Speaker 2: and Friday night. Please treat all of them very well.
Speaker 2: I would appreciate that, and I will return on December second.
Speaker 2: I will tell you that on December ninth, at eight o'clock,
Speaker 2: we are going to have our eighteenth annual college Admissions
Speaker 2: panel with Harvard Dean Bill Fitzimmons, who's been with us
Speaker 2: every year since we began this program in two thousand
Speaker 2: and seven, and Grank Goslin, who's the dean of admission
Speaker 2: the undergraduate admission at Boston College. Now, if any of
Speaker 2: you who are listening tonight, or high school students, you
Speaker 2: want to mark this on your calendar, because if you
Speaker 2: are thinking of applying to college, or if you have
Speaker 2: a son or a daughter who is getting to that
Speaker 2: point in time where they're thinking about college, there's an
Speaker 2: immense amount of good information that both these gentlemen provide
Speaker 2: to my listeners. They are very busy at this time
Speaker 2: of year, and for them to spend the time that
Speaker 2: they spend with us take phone calls. We'll begin at
Speaker 2: eight o'clock on Monday night, December ninth. Now one other
Speaker 2: programming note. As the days of twenty twenty four dwindled
Speaker 2: down to a precious few, we will do our twelfth
Speaker 2: annual Night Side Charity Combine. Those of you who are
Speaker 2: regular listeners know of what I speak those of you
Speaker 2: who are not regular listeners. The last two hours of
Speaker 2: my broadcast year, which will be this year on Friday night,
Speaker 2: December twentieth, from ten to twelve, we will introduce you
Speaker 2: to and interview representatives of upwards of twenty to twenty
Speaker 2: two charities. We can fit them in. They all get
Speaker 2: three or four minutes. It's remote interviews, so there's no inconvenience.
Speaker 2: We've done these in studios in studio in previous years.
Speaker 2: So if you happen to be involved in a five
Speaker 2: oh one c three charity, what I mean by that
Speaker 2: is a legitimate charity. If you're running a charity like
Speaker 2: for your uncle, Harry's Beer Fund. That doesn't qualify, okay,
Speaker 2: But if you're involved in either a national charity or
Speaker 2: a regional charity or a local charity that's doing good
Speaker 2: work and you'd like to get some publicity about that charity,
Speaker 2: what we do is we will tell you what time
Speaker 2: you will be scheduled or the representative of your charity
Speaker 2: will be scheduled, and we then will interview you live
Speaker 2: in the year sometime between ten and midnight on Friday night,
Speaker 2: December twentieth. That will get all of us in the
Speaker 2: mood for the holiday season, whether you're celebrating Hanukah or Christmas.
Speaker 2: I think it's a wonderful program that we started many
Speaker 2: years ago at the behest of my daughter. She was
Speaker 2: a college student at the time, and some funny stories
Speaker 2: about this, but we used to do it in studio
Speaker 2: and it was like an assembly line. There would be
Speaker 2: people coming into the studio, people going out of the studio.
Speaker 2: Look like an MBTA station. But we do it very expeditiously.
Speaker 2: We have it. It runs like clockwork. All you have
Speaker 2: to do right now is if you were interested in participating,
Speaker 2: and it's better to hear from the person who's going
Speaker 2: to go in the air. Please don't call us and
Speaker 2: tell us to call you heard about some charity and
Speaker 2: give them a call. No, we are not calling out
Speaker 2: to charity. That we could do that, but that's not
Speaker 2: what we want to do. This is a call for
Speaker 2: people who would like to highlight their charity, something that
Speaker 2: they're familiar with. And again it can be big, smaller
Speaker 2: or medium. I'm going to give Marita aka Lightning, the
Speaker 2: producer of the daytime Producer, her direct line at w
Speaker 2: b Z and get you a piece of paper and
Speaker 2: a pencil. Give you time to get a piece of
Speaker 2: paper and pencil and just call. Leave your name, the
Speaker 2: name of the charity and a daytime phone number. Marita
Speaker 2: will be calling you back. We will establish a schedule
Speaker 2: and then you'll be on with me. I'll interview you.
Speaker 2: It's really simple. Tell us what the purpose of the
Speaker 2: charity is, what the name of the charity is. Who
Speaker 2: are you trying to help? You're trying to help veterans,
Speaker 2: Are you're trying to help homeless people? Are you trying
Speaker 2: to help kids underprivileged or whatever? Okay, uh, do you
Speaker 2: have a website? How how can people help you? As
Speaker 2: a contributions do you need volunteers whatever. Here is Marita's
Speaker 2: phone number. Just write it down seven eight one three
Speaker 2: five zero one six. This number will ring to Marita
Speaker 2: aka Lightning, the producer of Nights Side during the Day
Speaker 2: Robbers at Night. Her number again seven eight one three
Speaker 2: five zero one seven two six. And the only way
Speaker 2: to get on is to make us aware of the charity. Uh,
Speaker 2: and it doesn't It can be a small charity, it
Speaker 2: can be a big charity. Well, we'll we'll consider them all.
Speaker 2: There is a first come, first served element to this,
Speaker 2: so at some point we're starting a little late. When
Speaker 2: I get back on December second, we'll see how many
Speaker 2: we have. Uh. If we have more than then we
Speaker 2: can accommodate. We'll probably ask some that had been on
Speaker 2: before to allow a new group of charities to present themselves.
Speaker 2: But whether you're on before or not, if you'd like
Speaker 2: to at least apply, it's all over the phone, daytime,
Speaker 2: phone number, your name. And again please do not call
Speaker 2: us and say, oh, I know of a great charity
Speaker 2: two towns over, and I think the name of the
Speaker 2: charity is this, and maybe the person is the head
Speaker 2: of it is this, and I think this is their
Speaker 2: phone number. We will not make any of those calls.
Speaker 2: I'm not calling people and saying, hey, would you like
Speaker 2: to be on our show? You got to show some initiative.
Speaker 2: All right, twentieth hour here. Well, first of all, the week.

Speaker 2: that he would like to delay the sentencing of Donald
Speaker 2: Trump for his thirty four felony Kinnick convictions until the
Speaker 2: day after Trump leaves the White House, which would be

Speaker 2: of different interesting calls on that. Now now we're going
Speaker 2: to take a quick break. But here's what I want
Speaker 2: to do this twentieth hour. It is the weekend before Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: Everyone on I hope everyone shares a meal with family
Speaker 2: and friends or neighbors on Thanksgiving, all of us or
Speaker 2: most of us, maybe some of us will have to
Speaker 2: go shopping on Tuesday and Wednesday. So I want to
Speaker 2: open up these phone lines, and I want to know
Speaker 2: what is your grocery store of choice. We've talked a
Speaker 2: little bit about this before, but I really want to
Speaker 2: do a poll here. I think I know how it's
Speaker 2: going to come out, but I just want to know.
Speaker 2: If you have your brothers, and most people do have
Speaker 2: brothers and sisters, no only kidding. If you have your brothers,
Speaker 2: where would you go grocery shopping? And why? I know
Speaker 2: my answer, and I'll share my answer with you, but
Speaker 2: I'd prefer to have the phone lines lit up. There's
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of different grocery stores. Some are smaller,
Speaker 2: kind of boutiqui grocery stores. Others have been around a
Speaker 2: long time, others are kind of new to the market.
Speaker 2: Six one, seven, two, five, four, ten, thirty six one seven, nine, three,
Speaker 2: one ten thirty your favorite grocery store and what would
Speaker 2: what is your go to grocery store. I'm sure many
Speaker 2: of you, like me Occaislely will shop here and occasionally
Speaker 2: would shop there. But I want to know what is
Speaker 2: your favorite grocery store? And why light these lines up.
Speaker 2: I'll be back in about a minute and a half
Speaker 2: and let's get this party started. We're heading to midnight.
Speaker 2: I'll get you to Saturday. It has been a week
Speaker 2: here on Nightside. It is always a week on night Side,
Speaker 2: and we always try to pick a subject on Friday
Speaker 2: night in the twentieth hour, which this is again we
Speaker 2: do five nights, four hours a night. Do the math,
Speaker 2: that's twenty hours. This is the twentieth hour of the week. Uh.
Speaker 2: Normally we're doing things like brushes with celebrity, but tonight
Speaker 2: I just wanted to do grocery stores. What is your
Speaker 2: favorite store? I have a favorite store. I'll tell you why,
Speaker 2: but I want to hear from you. Join the conversation.
Speaker 2: Coming back on Nightside. Now back to Dan Ray Mine
Speaker 2: from the Window World.
Speaker 3: Night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 2: And by the way, if you are outside of the
Speaker 2: New England area, normally we do a subject that anybody
Speaker 2: can call in. And you live in Pennsylvania or Maryland,
Speaker 2: or New York, or Mississippi or Florida wherever our voice
Speaker 2: in Michigan. Maybe you have a grocery store out there
Speaker 2: that's similar to what we have here. You'll hear the
Speaker 2: New England grocery stores. I'm sure. I'm going to tell
Speaker 2: you mine right now, just to get this going, because
Speaker 2: I think that people are a little hesitant here. My
Speaker 2: favorite grocery store is market Basket. And the reason it
Speaker 2: is my favorite grocery store is that they have lots
Speaker 2: of people on the Florida help you. I mean, I
Speaker 2: was at a market Basket today, No, yesterday. Excuse me,
Speaker 2: I've had it's been a crazy week. Okay, a crazy week.
Speaker 2: So I was at market Basket yesterday. And market Basket
Speaker 2: is not close to where I live. It's a good
Speaker 2: ten miles away. It's the one in Waltham on one
Speaker 2: twenty eight and I was there yesterday. I had a
Speaker 2: list of things that I wanted to buy. Things are
Speaker 2: less expensive now. Again, if you're a shopper like me
Speaker 2: and you'd like to save a couple of bucks, it's
Speaker 2: going to always for me, it's it's market Basket. I
Speaker 2: have a Shaws very close. I have a Roach Brothers
Speaker 2: very close. I have a Wegman's up the street. I
Speaker 2: haven't been to Wegmans in years. Okay. I find it
Speaker 2: to be a little pretentious. Uh, and I don't quite
Speaker 2: understand the setup. Shaws is Shaws Shaws, okay, but I
Speaker 2: think the Shaws prices have gone up much more than
Speaker 2: are justified. To be honest with you, I deal with
Speaker 2: the Shaws in the summertime and I have very much
Speaker 2: the same feeling. Roach Brothers is one in West Roxbury
Speaker 2: that I go to frequently, and the reason I go
Speaker 2: there is the quality of the fruits and vegetables, expensive
Speaker 2: but good quality. So for me it's market basket and
Speaker 2: the and the bottom line, it's the money. It's as
Speaker 2: simple as that, because when you go into stores now
Speaker 2: and you think about what the prices were just a
Speaker 2: few years ago, with with COVID in now compounded by inflation,
Speaker 2: it's unbelievable. I dropped a pair of pants off today
Speaker 2: at a tailor to just the pure corduroy pants, and
Speaker 2: the him at the bottom of one of the legs
Speaker 2: to the pants had pulled away, so it's not going
Speaker 2: to be a quick job. When I looked at what
Speaker 2: was going to be caught, the cost at from the
Speaker 2: tailor seventeen dollars a few years ago. I mean when
Speaker 2: I say, a couple of years ago, it would have
Speaker 2: been five bucks, or they might have said to me,
Speaker 2: now that's your regular customer, we'll do that for you,
Speaker 2: no problem.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: And I just I have a feeling I almost feel
Speaker 2: like going back there and saying, you know what, I'll
Speaker 2: take the quarter. I'll sell it myself. Anyway, let's go.
Speaker 2: Let me go to my friend Joel and Natick. Joel,
Speaker 2: I have no idea what you're going to say, but
Speaker 2: I want to know what your favorite grocery store is.
Speaker 5: I don't have any I go over the sales, Dan,
Speaker 5: you go where I go, wherever the sale is.
Speaker 4: Dan.
Speaker 5: It could be as good, it could be sure, it
Speaker 5: could be stopping shoved.
Speaker 2: But here's my question. Okay, here's my question. Every one
Speaker 2: of them have sales on any given week, right, that's right.
Speaker 2: I mean they all give you this sale stuff. So okay,
Speaker 2: what is your your constellation of grocery shows. You've got
Speaker 2: a Roach Brothers pretty close to where you live. What
Speaker 2: else do you have?
Speaker 5: Stop and shop?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I have a stop?
Speaker 2: What other one? I'm sorry?
Speaker 4: What other one?
Speaker 5: Donaldans? Donaldans is in Whaland.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I'm unfamiliar. Deal the deal in E.
Speaker 5: L A N S. It's a small chain.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's fine, that's good.
Speaker 5: Brothers Shows. The closest shows is in Ashland and the
Speaker 5: closest Market Baskets in Ashland.
Speaker 2: M hm. So so for you, it's just it's wherever
Speaker 2: the sale. So you have no no favorite, but you
Speaker 2: you you go to too many And I'm that's smart. Well,
Speaker 2: that's fine.
Speaker 5: If I want to get If I want to get
Speaker 5: produced and I don't want to get a hitdle as
Speaker 5: ninety nine cents, I go to I go to Market
Speaker 5: Baskets because they have What they do is they take
Speaker 5: the left over produce and they bag it and make
Speaker 5: it less expensive.
Speaker 2: Yep. Okay, now so so one month, yeah, one more thing.
Speaker 5: So Shaws and Star owned by the same company. However,
Speaker 5: they don't have the same prices. Stand Shaws is cheaper
Speaker 5: than Star Market and their fly is a little bit different.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 5: I don't if you knew that or not.
Speaker 2: I did not know that because I always thought that
Speaker 2: they were Now yeah, just inter it's dispersable, I guess
Speaker 2: if that's a word that I'm owned by this same
Speaker 2: they're owned by Albertson.
Speaker 5: Right, that's right. Yeah, that's right. But they have different prices.
Speaker 5: Their flyers are not entirely the same either, which is strange.
Speaker 5: But you have to go to Shaws if you want
Speaker 5: to get the bargains that star.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to keep that in mind. But so
Speaker 2: but you do not want to pick one. That's okay, Joel,
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Always great to hear your voice.
Speaker 4: Have you.
Speaker 5: Thanksgiving Dan, same to you and.
Speaker 2: Yours, Joe. You know that I'm right back right there
Speaker 2: for you. Okay, Thanks, I have a great night. All right,
Speaker 2: let's keep rolling here. By the way, President Trump has
Speaker 2: just nominated John Hopkins surgeon to lead the FDA. Doctor
Speaker 2: Marty McCarry, who has been a guest on this program
Speaker 2: on several occasions. Doctor Mark McCarry, a prominent John's Hopkins
Speaker 2: surgeon and author who will posts some pandemic Locke down
Speaker 2: measures and COVID nineteen vaccine mandates, nominated Friday by President
Speaker 2: elect Donald Trump to leave the Food and Drug Administration.
Speaker 2: I think that's a really good pick. Uh. Doctor McCarry
Speaker 2: has been on this show. I'll tell you several times.
Speaker 2: He's a very smart guy and he's a that's a
Speaker 2: great pick. In my opinion. You can agree or disagree.
Speaker 2: Let me get one more in here before we got
Speaker 2: to go to break. Let me go to my friend
Speaker 2: Bruce and Maynard. Hi, Bruce, welcome back.
Speaker 6: Hey d.
Speaker 2: I remember you very well. I saw you at the
Speaker 2: Boys and Gross Clubs dinner.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I was, I was.
Speaker 2: I was the auctioneer that night, Bruce, and a.
Speaker 6: Good amount of money too.
Speaker 2: Market basket, Market basket, Okay, we're We're in the same
Speaker 2: basket on this one, Bruce.
Speaker 6: I'm Mountain mad and I live in the Old Digital
Speaker 6: Complex and it's right five minutes for me. I can
Speaker 6: walk to it, so I'm there three days a week.
Speaker 6: I know the manager Jay, and it's a great store.
Speaker 6: It's a it's a price in the freshness of everything
Speaker 6: because everything goes so quick, you know.
Speaker 2: I'm impressed by market basket. I go to this one
Speaker 2: in Walthame and it's right. It's a kind of a hall.
Speaker 2: It's ten, ten eleven, twelve miles from where I am.
Speaker 2: But I gotta tie you.
Speaker 6: I lived at the bottom of the hill on Main Street.
Speaker 6: Just as you go, you go buy it when you
Speaker 6: go up to the old Polarly Complex as well. Lived
Speaker 6: before I moved out. But one of the reasons that
Speaker 6: brought me out here was market Basket. Like I said,
Speaker 6: we're there three days a week, so I don't do
Speaker 6: my shop and every day I just do it when
Speaker 6: I have to.
Speaker 2: Well, I like you, I would rather I would rather
Speaker 2: go to the store more frequently and make sure that
Speaker 2: everything in the refrigerator is fresh, as opposed to stacking
Speaker 2: up one day and then towards the end of the
Speaker 2: week getting stuff that is not as fresh as you
Speaker 2: want it.
Speaker 6: To be and luckily we will retire it. So we
Speaker 6: go during the week. The weekends are crazy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, my my schedule working nights allows me occasionally
Speaker 2: to go during the work too, so I understand the
Speaker 2: advantage of that. A little less traffic, no doubt.
Speaker 6: You have to, you have to, you know. It's sometimes yeah, no,
Speaker 6: we gotta got a.
Speaker 2: Little little Route nine action and one twenty eight and
Speaker 2: then all of that. You got to get off the
Speaker 2: road a little bit. But it works for me, and
Speaker 2: it's it's clean. And the other thing is that everybody's there.
Speaker 2: They have a lot of people. Many of them are
Speaker 2: people who are uh, you know, first generation Americans, and
Speaker 2: you ask them, we're something sometimes they'll actually walk into
Speaker 2: the eye.

Speaker 2: That was last April. Boy, that that's two weeks ago.
Speaker 6: We'll be back.
Speaker 2: Uh. You know what, I think that they rotate people
Speaker 2: in and out. I enjoyed myself, but I try to,
Speaker 2: you know, give others opportunities as well.

Speaker 2: Have a great night, good night. Don't hang up. Take
Speaker 2: that information, Rob. We're going to go next to Laurie,
Speaker 2: you know in Idaho. Hey, Laurie, how are you tonight?
Speaker 8: How do I follow up the smugglings messages story?
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. I could see the dog, couldn't you couldn't
Speaker 2: you see the talk? Oh nuts?
Speaker 8: Yeah right now, come on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks very much. I hope someone else got to
Speaker 2: chuck a lot of it as well. Well. I don't
Speaker 2: think they have market Basket in Idaho anymore, but if you,
Speaker 2: but you may, you know, with your New England roots,
Speaker 2: want to put a vote in whatever you want.
Speaker 8: I do well, And yeah, because I was, I was
Speaker 8: going to market Basket and they were still split between
Speaker 8: Demula's and the market Basket. So it is generally it
Speaker 8: always was generally might go to. Every once in a
Speaker 8: while there would be something I had to go something
Speaker 8: else that never failed and have to hit two stories
Speaker 8: for whatever I was doing.
Speaker 5: But it definitely was my go to.
Speaker 8: And I have a friend who was in Danvers who says,
Speaker 8: the one that they've maybe they've done this is all
Speaker 8: them now one Danvers now has really been spiffed up.
Speaker 8: They have all these gourmet foods and these sandwich bars
Speaker 8: and all this stuff. It's really amazing.
Speaker 2: So oh yeah they have they have a very nice bakery,
Speaker 2: and yeah, they're stuffing up a little bit. I'm assuming
Speaker 2: that out in Idaho you have grocery stores.
Speaker 8: Right now, we have to go out and forage everything.
Speaker 2: Now your forage and you hunt, I assume.
Speaker 5: Right, yeah, exactly exactly.
Speaker 2: Go to the meat department and you yeah, you go
Speaker 2: to the meat department and you you shoot a deer. No,
Speaker 2: I'm only kidding. Is it Albertson's house? Is it Albert
Speaker 2: That was?
Speaker 8: Yeah, we have them Albertson's in a safe way, and
Speaker 8: I really don't care for either of them. There's this
Speaker 8: one called super one is okay. But there is a
Speaker 8: store called Yokes as in the oxen kind, not the
Speaker 8: egg kind. You just still fam owned and run and
Speaker 8: has two locations, one here in Standpoint and one down
Speaker 8: by Spokane. And they are.
Speaker 2: Awesome, excellent, excellent, excellent. So where's the closest you're in Idaho?
Speaker 2: Where's the closest grocery? How far? I mean, it's not
Speaker 2: like around the corner? I assume, right we.
Speaker 8: Actually Yoaks is?
Speaker 2: Oh good for you.
Speaker 8: Yeah, this little house I'm renting now is a little bit,
Speaker 8: just a little bit north west of the city in
Speaker 8: the lake. And yeah, it's just shoot down ninety five
Speaker 8: and I don't have to go ninety five. I just
Speaker 8: have to go down and ride literally five minutes away,
Speaker 8: which is really nice.
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, I thought about you the other day.
Speaker 2: It's a true story. I was fighting. I shouldn't say
Speaker 2: I was fighting. I was challenging a company that I
Speaker 2: no longer do business with the other day about a
Speaker 2: medical mission for a charge. Okay, I just leave it
Speaker 2: like that. And anyway, they finally did allow the charge.
Speaker 2: And the reason was I finally got to it what
Speaker 2: they call it onshore representative and huh as opposed to
Speaker 2: an offshore representative.
Speaker 4: Me someone who does live in America with a real connection.
Speaker 2: But all you gotta have a bad connection. Absolutely. So
Speaker 2: I said to this really lovely woman, I said, could
Speaker 2: I ask you where you located? Because they knew she
Speaker 2: was in the States. She said Idaho, And I almost said,
Speaker 2: do you know my friend Laurie and Idaho? But then
Speaker 2: I realized that she might have lived in a different
Speaker 2: part of the state.
Speaker 8: It's a pretty big state. Yeah, And I just heard
Speaker 8: on the news of the David Boise. Bois is one
Speaker 8: of the the go to retirement places. And I'm like, really, yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well up north, next thing you're gonna talk. Well,
Speaker 2: I was trying to think of what town you lived in.
Speaker 2: But but she she was one great she was. She
Speaker 2: was a sand Point. Yeah. I should have remembered that.
Speaker 2: Oh god, I wish I remember that. Look, since since
Speaker 2: we we've already given away a tote bag to June
Speaker 2: in California, I don't see why I can't send you
Speaker 2: a tote bag so that you so that we can
Speaker 2: spread the word of Nightside in Idaho. So if you
Speaker 2: would stay on the line.
Speaker 8: And make sure you give rob I will take it
Speaker 8: to Yo for my groceries.
Speaker 2: That would be great. That would be great. Get a picture.
Speaker 5: Thank you so much.
Speaker 8: That's very nice.
Speaker 4: Thank you.
Speaker 2: Hang on there, give you an address, phone number and
Speaker 2: all and we'll be all set. We're going to get
Speaker 2: one more in here before the break. We we're gonna go.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Steve and Merrimack, New Hampshire. Steve, you
Speaker 2: were next on nightside. We Hi, how you doing. I'm
Speaker 2: doing just great.
Speaker 4: I just wanted to do before I say anything, I
Speaker 4: wanted to wish you a really happy Thanksgiving for you
Speaker 4: and your family.
Speaker 2: Right back at you, Steve, right back at you. And
Speaker 2: they went to Laurie and Idaho and June and California.
Speaker 2: I think I did wish one to Bruce and Maynard,
Speaker 2: uh and uh and Joel in Natick. So what's your favorite?
Speaker 2: Do you go to?
Speaker 4: Hands down? Market Basket for a variety of reasons.
Speaker 2: Market getting just blowing is winning at all. They're sweeping
Speaker 2: the board.
Speaker 4: Here, prices, they take care of their employees, They hire
Speaker 4: the handicap, elderly. They give bonuses to their employees. Even
Speaker 4: if you're a part time cashier. If you've worked there
Speaker 4: for two years, you know no other stores Shaws Hanaford's
Speaker 4: our Walmart. None of them do that. They're the only ones.
Speaker 4: And uh, for me personally, I went to high school
Speaker 4: with the Market Basket CEO rd T Kim Willis and
Speaker 4: you know, a really nice guy, the only billionaire I know,
Speaker 4: and he's old school and people appreciate it around here.
Speaker 4: That's why they have a great market share in New England.
Speaker 2: I think when I think when I retire, Okay, I
Speaker 2: enjoyed people, as you probably can tell, even people who
Speaker 2: disagree with me. I enjoy this show. Maybe when I retire,
Speaker 2: I don't want to be a Walmart greeter or something
Speaker 2: like that, but I think maybe I could be the
Speaker 2: first market Basket greater. You know, I just I would
Speaker 2: feel real comfortable in that position. So maybe you'll see it.
Speaker 2: You know, you never know.
Speaker 4: You gotta do something right. Yeah. And also one thing,
Speaker 4: if you go to this week, all the stores are
Speaker 4: busy because of Thanksgiving, but on a typical week you
Speaker 4: go in those parking lots and I don't know about Waltham,
Speaker 4: but you know londoner in New Hampshire or Bedford, New Hampshire,
Speaker 4: those parking lots are in full. I mean, oh yeah,
Speaker 4: all the time.
Speaker 2: You gotta wait. You gotta wait, and you got to
Speaker 2: spot somebody who's who's pushing their carriage out to a car,
Speaker 2: and you got to slowly kind of move with the
Speaker 2: carriage because once that person stops and opens the trunk
Speaker 2: of the door, you know that that you got a
Speaker 2: space and you got to be there because if you're
Speaker 2: not there, if you're five seconds late, someone else is
Speaker 2: going to be there.
Speaker 4: It's you get pretty fighting for those working places.
Speaker 2: It's like you're out hunting, do you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: It's like you're you're tracking.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I don't have to worry about deer hunting
Speaker 4: this year because the deer found my windshield of my
Speaker 4: car in October, total out my car.
Speaker 1: So you know.
Speaker 2: We've talked about that before. That could be a frightening experience.
Speaker 4: Yep. It was very violent. I mean the windshield got
Speaker 4: pushed in about ten or twelve inches. It wouldn't go anymore.
Speaker 4: If it wouldn't anymore, the deer would have been in
Speaker 4: my lap.
Speaker 2: What were you on a major road or side road?
Speaker 4: I was going on the entrance to a highway in
Speaker 4: Manchester and the deer just ran right into me and
Speaker 4: I was going forty. He was probably doing twenty and
Speaker 4: it just totally destroyed the car. The car was running,
Speaker 4: but the windshield was mashed and they couldn't fix it.
Speaker 4: So they had a total out the car.
Speaker 2: They couldn't give you a replacement windshield. They totaled the car.
Speaker 4: They had, They couldn't. The whole frame for the window.
Speaker 4: The roof was bent in the whole frame for the
Speaker 4: windshield was bent. They you know, the state top that
Speaker 4: investigated he was like, wow, you know, he was surprised
Speaker 4: that I made it through.
Speaker 2: That was a big deer.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 4: It was pretty violent. I mean it was like a
Speaker 4: cinder block going into my windshield.
Speaker 1: There's only one.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I've had the experience. Let me ask you
Speaker 2: this did was this? Did you see it coming? Or
Speaker 2: was it at night?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 4: Nothing, It was just smash, it was That's the thing
Speaker 4: I didn't even. The only thing I saw was the
Speaker 4: deer's face on the windshield before he fell off. That's
Speaker 4: all I saw. Yeah, but that was my only experience
Speaker 4: with deer. And you know, I know you've talked about
Speaker 4: it before, but I am pairing about deer right now.
Speaker 2: We'll just remember this if if you truly if if
Speaker 2: they're really after you, you're not paranoid.
Speaker 4: Yeah they're I don't want to hit in my new car.
Speaker 4: But all I can say is it was very violent,
Speaker 4: and you know, I just it really. I have a
Speaker 4: stolen glass out of my arm. That's how Yeah, Milicia was.
Speaker 5: Going right into my right arm.
Speaker 2: I can hear.
