Speaker 1: It's Night Side with Ray w BSY.
Speaker 2: Carston's Radio Dan is off until the first of the year.
Speaker 2: I'm Morgan Morgan White Junior. It's Ladies' night because all
Speaker 2: four of my guests. My first hour guest was Cindy Bruce.
Speaker 2: My eleven o'clock guest will be Susan Braikman. I've got
Speaker 2: Joyce Colhabo coming in in about an hour ten o'clock.
Speaker 2: And right now you have no idea, how please I
Speaker 2: am to get this woman to come on night Side
Speaker 2: and chit chat about what she does at Channel four
Speaker 2: TV Channel four?
Speaker 3: Are you ready, Trophy and Daca?
Speaker 4: I am, thank you.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you for coming on. I really really have
Speaker 2: looked forward to speaking to you. I miss the fact
Speaker 2: that BSY Radio is not there at Sojersfield Road anymore.
Speaker 4: I miss you too. I mean we miss it having
Speaker 4: all of you folks there. It was so much fun.
Speaker 4: We really enjoyed having radio and TV together. So yeah,
Speaker 4: it's not so much fun anymore without you folks.
Speaker 2: And I used to like to interact with whichever news
Speaker 2: team happened to me on when I was doing my show.
Speaker 2: I would say, up until nineteen I mean to try
Speaker 2: again twenty nineteen, maybe twenty eighteen. That's when they pulled
Speaker 2: up stakes for the radio and put us all the
Speaker 2: way over in Medford.
Speaker 4: Okay, I have some pretty nice gigs over there.
Speaker 2: Yes, Well, I do my show for my home, so
Speaker 2: I sign off at midnight and walk fifteen steps and
Speaker 2: I'm in my bed. So I'd rather do it this way.
Speaker 2: But let me get right down to it. When you
Speaker 2: got hired to do the call for action segment, what
Speaker 2: sort of rules, regulations, suggestions did the powers that be
Speaker 2: that hired you, What did they tell.
Speaker 3: You about that role?
Speaker 4: Well, you know, the call for action is the item's
Speaker 4: call for action. So we do item stories, which are investigations,
Speaker 4: and you know, we've done a whole series of those.
Speaker 4: The most recent involved stolen land, which is this new
Speaker 4: scam that these fraudsters are going around and they're managing
Speaker 4: to kind of figure out either land that hasn't been used,
Speaker 4: that no one has been paying attention to, and they've
Speaker 4: managed to be able to sell it. In one case,
Speaker 4: this property and conquered that these folks owned for thirty years,
Speaker 4: so we're paying taxes on it, no mortgage. These fraudsters
Speaker 4: figured out that the property was vacant impersonated the actual
Speaker 4: true owners and so the property to buyers who are
Speaker 4: now building a house on it. So it's become a
Speaker 4: very complicated thing to untangle, which is now involved a lawsuit.
Speaker 4: So we put that story on the air. Right after
Speaker 4: we put that story on the air, two other families
Speaker 4: contacted us and said they had similar incidents. One a
Speaker 4: home in Plymouth, a man said he got a knock
Speaker 4: on the door from a surveyor saying that he was
Speaker 4: there surveyor the property for a sale, and he said,
Speaker 4: I'm not selling the property. And a third property property
Speaker 4: on the Cape where a family also owned vacant land,
Speaker 4: and they realized that the property was listed for sale
Speaker 4: and it nearly was sold. So these frausters are becoming
Speaker 4: a little more sophisticated, a little more aggressive. The scams
Speaker 4: are similar, but not quite the same. You know, as
Speaker 4: a result of our stories, the Secretary of State's office
Speaker 4: oversees a number of the Registry of Deeds in the state,
Speaker 4: and they have what's called a homeowner alert that you,
Speaker 4: as a homeowner, can put on your property to let
Speaker 4: you know if anyone tries to record anything on your property.
Speaker 4: So it's a notification process, so it's really helpful. So
Speaker 4: after our story is aired, we were able to get
Speaker 4: that done, and every registry has that opportunity for homeowners.
Speaker 2: Now I remember his story, and this goes back to
Speaker 2: the late eighties early nineties, similar to this story, but
Speaker 2: it was much more legitimate. This person found an area
Speaker 2: somewhere in the cave. I cannot remember the community, but
Speaker 2: no one owned it. He searched, did a title search.
Speaker 2: He took painstakingly movements to find out who owned this
Speaker 2: chunk of land. No one owned it, so he bought
Speaker 2: it and he was able to build on it and
Speaker 2: saved all that money that he would have had to
Speaker 2: pay if it was owned by the bank or an
Speaker 2: insurance company. And I wish I could remember the details
Speaker 2: of that, but you just told me a story. They
Speaker 2: had three different approaches to it. What's the most memorable
Speaker 2: story with which you get involved and came to the
Speaker 2: rescue of some citizen.
Speaker 4: Well, there are a number of you know the story
Speaker 4: that you know I care about, probably the most. We
Speaker 4: did the story on several years ago. A little boy
Speaker 4: a name as Tate Decker, adorable little boy four years old,
Speaker 4: has childhood glaucoma. His family contacts us and says that
Speaker 4: the drops that he uses, these site saving drops that
Speaker 4: prevent him from needing an operation where he could potentially
Speaker 4: lose his eyesight, are being taken off the market. And
Speaker 4: the manufacturer of these drops is Fiser and Psizer, of
Speaker 4: course is we know, have the COVID vaccine and made millions,
Speaker 4: maybe billions of dollars and said that in this case,
Speaker 4: there weren't enough kids that needed these drops, so they
Speaker 4: just didn't think this was worth it for them to
Speaker 4: use these drops anymore, to put these drops on the market.
Speaker 4: After our story aired, a couple of months later, we
Speaker 4: got a call from Pfizer and they said that they
Speaker 4: were working with another manufacturer and they would keep the
Speaker 4: drops on the market. Not only did they keep the
Speaker 4: drops on the market, but they were going to release
Speaker 4: what they already had on the shelves that they got
Speaker 4: the FDA's approval to release what they had. You know,
Speaker 4: that story was so rewarding to me because it affects
Speaker 4: all these kids, these little kids that needed these drops
Speaker 4: so that they could avoid surgery. And in Kate's case,
Speaker 4: he was able to avoid surgery for literally years and
Speaker 4: he's doing great. I just spoke to his family this week.
Speaker 4: He's terrific. He's eight years old and it's doing well.
Speaker 4: So it's just incredible that we're able to tell stories
Speaker 4: like that and put pressure on companies and manufacturers and
Speaker 4: you know, the powers that be sometimes the state to
Speaker 4: make changes and step up and do the right thing
Speaker 4: and help the folks that need it.
Speaker 2: I hope people listening paid attention to that story Cheryl
Speaker 2: just told. Because the child was four years old when
Speaker 2: this situation came to her attention. He is now eight
Speaker 2: years old. That means she's been in touch with them
Speaker 2: periodically for four years. And she remembered this child's full name.
Speaker 2: It was not just another another day with the call
Speaker 2: for action staff. This story meant something to you, and
Speaker 2: this story obviously needed to be told, and I just
Speaker 2: want people to pay attention. I've got show here until
Speaker 2: ten o'clock and we're going to touch base with a
Speaker 2: lot of stories that you may or you may not remember.
Speaker 2: And I don't think enough people say thank you to you, Cheryl,
Speaker 2: when you and your staff, and I'm sure you've got
Speaker 2: a sizeable staff that goes out does your investigating and
Speaker 2: looking at this, that, and the other thing that's necessary
Speaker 2: to help you do your job. So it's not just
Speaker 2: to thank you to you. It's a thank you to
Speaker 2: you and the staff of Call for Action.
Speaker 4: You know, I'm very fortunate. You know, I love my
Speaker 4: work and I love what I do, and I'm very
Speaker 4: grateful to be able to do it. And you know,
Speaker 4: the folks that I work for are terrific and love
Speaker 4: these stories and want me to do more of them.
Speaker 4: And you know, it's part of what we believe is
Speaker 4: our responsibility to the community. And you know, to be
Speaker 4: able to provide a service that you know helps people
Speaker 4: and takes case and his parents are unbelievable people and Holly,
Speaker 4: they're wonderful, wonderful people. These kids he has a tate,
Speaker 4: has a twin brother and an older brother and those
Speaker 4: kids won the Parent Lottery. They're terrific. So yes, I
Speaker 4: stay in touch with them. They're great.
Speaker 2: I like the way you say that the Parent Lottery.
Speaker 2: When did you start doing this job? How long have
Speaker 2: you been with Channel four.
Speaker 4: I've been with Channel four since twenty seventeen, okay, and yep,
Speaker 4: we've done a lot of really great stories. And you know,
Speaker 4: like as I said, we looked into there was another
Speaker 4: story that has really resonated with a whole lot of folks.
Speaker 4: It was a realty company called MV Realty and what
Speaker 4: they were doing is I.
Speaker 2: Want to hold you this so I can take a break,
Speaker 2: but I want you to pick up right at that
Speaker 2: point when we return people. If you want to call

Speaker 2: You want to say thank you to her in front
Speaker 2: of thirty eight states in parts of Canada. Here's your opportunity.
Speaker 2: And before I take a phone call, Cheryl, I interrupted
Speaker 2: you as you're about to tell another past story.
Speaker 4: This one Morgan involved a realty company that was duping
Speaker 4: homeowners financially strapped homeowners that were struggling financially, offering them
Speaker 4: cash payments for the right to list their property if
Speaker 4: and when they decided to sell it. What these folks
Speaker 4: didn't know is that they were also signing a forty
Speaker 4: year lean on their property, and so they would forget
Speaker 4: all about it. It was a cash payment of a
Speaker 4: couple of thousand dollars, in some cases not even a
Speaker 4: couple of thousand dollars, and these folks would eventually either
Speaker 4: forget about it, tried to sell their property, remortgage it,
Speaker 4: and then they would have to pay these people a commission,
Speaker 4: a five percent commission, tens of thousands of dollars, just
Speaker 4: taking advantage of people. After we've brought this to the
Speaker 4: Attorney General's office, they filed a lawsuit against the company.
Speaker 4: The company is now out of business. All of the
Speaker 4: Lians on more than one hundred homeowners that we found,
Speaker 4: and there are many many more just in Massachusetts. All
Speaker 4: the Lians were taken off their property and the company
Speaker 4: has now declared bankruptcy and is not allowed to practice
Speaker 4: in Massachusetts.

Speaker 2: And let me give out the phone number since we've
Speaker 2: already gotten some phone traffic six one, seven, two, five, four,
Speaker 2: ten thirty eight eight, eight, nine, two, nine, ten thirty
Speaker 2: if you want to call and speak with Sheroffy and Daka.
Speaker 2: And this is going to be a quick question because
Speaker 2: I've got another news hit to take at the bottom
Speaker 2: of the hour. But I want you to tell me, well,
Speaker 2: tell tell the people listening how they can get in
Speaker 2: touch with you. What's the phone number, what's the website?
Speaker 2: What do they need to know?
Speaker 4: If you just go to CBS Boston the website, I mean,
Speaker 4: you'll just look for iteam. If you look at for
Speaker 4: anything that says item, the website will be right there.
Speaker 4: The email will be right there, and the emails go
Speaker 4: directly to make so I will see the emails. If
Speaker 4: you sent that's an email looking for help, looking for
Speaker 4: anything that we can do for you, Just do with
Speaker 4: an email. It's the best way to reach us.
Speaker 2: And how do people know that they have a problem.
Speaker 2: A lot of times you might not realize there's an
Speaker 2: issue that's come up in your world, in your life,
Speaker 2: in your neighborhood and your home. But necessarily you don't
Speaker 2: know what step to take next to get the problem resolved.
Speaker 4: And I think that a lot of folks, for a
Speaker 4: lot of folks that we deal with with helping them
Speaker 4: solve problems, a lot of it is just getting to
Speaker 4: the right person to help them solve the problem. You know,
Speaker 4: we just recently helped a family who left a VHS
Speaker 4: tape and a rental car here in Boston. They were
Speaker 4: here in Boston with their family. They got this tape
Speaker 4: of memories of her late husband. The woman who was
Speaker 4: up here with her family, and she wanted to give
Speaker 4: this tape to her son for Christmas, who was very
Speaker 4: young when the dad passed away, and so she left
Speaker 4: it in the glove compartment of the car when she
Speaker 4: turned the car and it completely forgot to take it,
Speaker 4: got on the plane got home, started making all of
Speaker 4: these frantic phone calls to try to find the tape.
Speaker 4: For weeks, she couldn't get anywhere. She reached out to us.
Speaker 4: We reached out to Hearts in this case, and they
Speaker 4: were terrific. Within one day she had the tape in
Speaker 4: her hand, so they were able to locate the car
Speaker 4: that was being sold. So it was going to a
Speaker 4: lot in New Jersey to be sold, and just before
Speaker 4: it it was being shipped there, they were able to
Speaker 4: retrieve the tape. It was not lost, and they sent
Speaker 4: the tape overnightmail to her. She and her family they
Speaker 4: were just thrilled, thrilled, couldn't believe that we were able
Speaker 4: to do that so quickly. And it was just wonderful.
Speaker 4: I mean, the Hurts folks were wonderful about it. They
Speaker 4: just stepped in right away. But in that case, she
Speaker 4: just really couldn't get to the right people. So that's
Speaker 4: what it's about.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2: I've got another news hit to take after the news.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you a story where I could have
Speaker 2: used you. But it happened about eight to ten years ago.
Speaker 2: So there was no Chephy in Doca with call for
Speaker 2: Action and I'll tell you how it ended. I was
Speaker 2: not satisfied, but I'll tell you the whole story when
Speaker 2: we come back. Anyone else wants to call in, I've
Speaker 2: given you the phone number six one, seven, two, five four,
Speaker 2: ten thirty eight eight eight, nine to nine, ten thirty
Speaker 2: Shearyffy and Doca from Call for Action is here on
Speaker 2: the phone waiting your phone call time and temperature nine
Speaker 2: thirty thirty two degrees.
Speaker 1: It's night side on Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2: Dan is off until the first of the year. My
Speaker 2: name Organoy Junior. I'm here with Cheryffy and Doc and Joe.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you a story. This happened to me,
Speaker 2: and it was about eight to ten years ago, and
Speaker 2: I think I remember all of the intricate details still
Speaker 2: to this day. I wanted to go to Las Vegas
Speaker 2: and for whatever reason, and I have never not flown
Speaker 2: direct since then, but there was a stopover in the
Speaker 2: flight I took that would have been within the specs
Speaker 2: of the day I wanted to go and the day
Speaker 2: I wanted to come.
Speaker 3: Back, et cetera.
Speaker 2: We were late leaving Boston because they didn't have all
Speaker 2: of the supplies they normally put on a flight. Now
Speaker 2: I'm gonna guess we're about twenty minutes delayed from leaving.
Speaker 2: We landed in Charlotte, South Carolina, North Carolina, excuse me,
Speaker 2: and we landed, but they didn't have a jetway to
Speaker 2: attach to the plane. To walk into the airport, that
Speaker 2: took about a half hour, so roughly it's an hour
Speaker 2: of time that should not have elapsed. By the time
Speaker 2: I walked from the B gate area to the D
Speaker 2: gate area, I just made it. I had a first
Speaker 2: class ticket. They didn't even want to let me go
Speaker 2: through to get on the plane because I was late arriving.
Speaker 2: They had already seated people. They finally let me go in.
Speaker 2: They gave my first class seat to someone else on
Speaker 2: the plane and I had to sit and coach. I
Speaker 2: was not pleased. I complained a lot of good it did.
Speaker 2: When I landed in Vegas, I went to the and
Speaker 2: it's American Airlines. I'll say it now because it was
Speaker 2: ten years ago, for goodness sake, and I explained to
Speaker 2: the person that my tardiness arriving was not my fault.
Speaker 2: It was American Airlines' fault for not loading the plane
Speaker 2: with whatever supplies they needed in Boston and not having
Speaker 2: a jetway in Charlotte. Bottom line, I took my complaint
Speaker 2: all the way to the top. But because I paid
Speaker 2: with my credit card, American Airlines refunded me what they
Speaker 2: felt was the cost of a first class ticket. I
Speaker 2: wanted more than that as satisfaction. Had you been around
Speaker 2: and I brought this to you, could you have done
Speaker 2: anything for me.
Speaker 4: It seems like you did a pretty good job yourself there,
Speaker 4: I mean getting your money back, that's pretty good. You know,
Speaker 4: airlines are notoriously very difficult to deal with. I mean,
Speaker 4: as you probably know, there's some new rules that went
Speaker 4: into that are going into effect this year that will
Speaker 4: require airlines to issue cash refunds for things like delayed
Speaker 4: flights and disclosed baggage fees in canceling reservation fees, and
Speaker 4: also that they are now obligated to issue automatic cash
Speaker 4: refunds for delayed flights and canceled flights. So there's a
Speaker 4: little more protection now for consumers where before, I mean
Speaker 4: folks that were delayed for hours, and in your case,
Speaker 4: you know, you were able to get on the flight.
Speaker 4: A lot of people aren't even able to make the
Speaker 4: connections at all, so you know, they're out and there,
Speaker 4: sometimes have to stay overnight and you know, miss important
Speaker 4: appointments and things like that. So there's there's a lot
Speaker 4: there that that's been done. Hopefully that will help some
Speaker 4: consumers and travelers going forward. But I think you did
Speaker 4: a pretty good job. A pretty job will hire you
Speaker 4: on the IPE. We bring you into the ipane called racke.
Speaker 2: Okay, I get another job. Whoopee what I what.
Speaker 3: I do now?
Speaker 2: I always fly direct, you know, on it logan and
Speaker 2: get off at Harry Reid which used to be called
Speaker 2: McCarran Airport, because I try to go to Vegas with
Speaker 2: some regularity. But we've got phone calls and you're not
Speaker 2: here to help me with an issue of ten years ago.
Speaker 2: You're here now, and let's see what Brian and Franklin
Speaker 2: has to say. So Brian, welcome to Night's Side.
Speaker 7: Hey, how are you doing all right?
Speaker 3: Happy holidays?
Speaker 8: Yes, very Christmas, Happy holidays, Happy New Year? Right ryl
Speaker 8: something else? But you know, you brought up something in
Speaker 8: my mind. I have like credit with an airline that
Speaker 8: apparently can expire, and I just never you know, got
Speaker 8: on a flight. I had an emergency and yeah, they
Speaker 8: gave me credit. But then now when I tried to
Speaker 8: use it and expired. So I was like, hmm, wonder
Speaker 8: if you can help me out with that.
Speaker 4: Well, Brian, how long ago has it had it expired?
Speaker 8: They said the expiration was like maybe five years ago
Speaker 8: or something like that. Oh, but it was just like
Speaker 8: it's an airline where I paid for it and you know,
Speaker 8: never utilized it and hoof the money's gone.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well I'm not sure about five years. That's kind
Speaker 4: of a long time to be able to try to
Speaker 4: ask them to do something for you. But if you
Speaker 4: want to send that information to me with the items
Speaker 4: email address, we can take a quick look at it
Speaker 4: and see if there's anything we can do for you.
Speaker 3: Could you repeat your address, Brian?
Speaker 2: I hope you have pin in paper handy because I'm
Speaker 2: gonna show repeat the I team address.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Cheryl, So, the IT team address is w
Speaker 4: VZ TV and it's a dash I team at at
Speaker 4: CBS Boston dot com.
Speaker 2: Okay, Brian, so john a note, send a note. The
Speaker 2: worst that can happen is you've got what you've got
Speaker 2: now nothing. Maybe they can pull a rabbit up the hats.
Speaker 8: For you, you know.
Speaker 3: What exactly, Brian, Thank you for the call.
Speaker 8: Brian, everyone, thank you for calling.
Speaker 2: And let's see if we can get one more in
Speaker 2: before the next break in winter. It's Paul, Paul could
Speaker 2: welcome to night Side.
Speaker 5: Hi, how are you. We're fine, great to hear it. Listen.
Speaker 5: I just wanted to say there was a time couple
Speaker 5: of years back when my ninety one year old aunts
Speaker 5: had a problem. She was in an adult living facility
Speaker 5: and COVID was rampant, and they didn't isolate or treat
Speaker 5: the people properly, and we called up Cheryl and she
Speaker 5: addressed the issue immediately with great results. And then after
Speaker 5: she had she had come down with COVID and she
Speaker 5: had recovered, they wanted to put her back in a

Speaker 2: four ten thirty or eight eight, eight, nine, two, nine
Speaker 2: ten thirty time and temperature here in BZ nine forty
Speaker 2: seven thirty two degrees.
Speaker 1: Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Speaker 1: night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 3: Right Sires.
Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody. I was just chatting with Nancy about
Speaker 2: the Make a Millions tomorrow. And if you heard what
Speaker 2: I said last hour, If anybody out there within the
Speaker 2: sound of my voice is lucky enough to have the
Speaker 2: right numbers, don't go in because they will publicize you
Speaker 2: eight ways from Sunday that Joe Smoe hit the mask,
Speaker 2: I mean the Make a Million's Lottery and decided to
Speaker 2: take the five hundred and fifty one lump sum payment.
Speaker 2: Get a lawyer to represent you, and you are part
Speaker 2: of a trust that is a legal way around your
Speaker 2: name getting mentioned. And I know I'm gonna use Seryphy
Speaker 2: and doctor when it happens to me me. If it
Speaker 2: doesn't happen to me me it happens to be you,
Speaker 2: maybe you as well should use Charylfe and doctor and Jeryl.
Speaker 2: I hope you don't mind me putting you in that position.
Speaker 2: But as a lawyer, you'll make a few shekels.
Speaker 4: I could make a few shekels. I mean I have
Speaker 4: a job now like you. You know, we have jobs,
Speaker 4: so I don't know, we'd have to have to see,
Speaker 4: well we could work something out though it's a lot
Speaker 4: of money. We could probably work something up.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of money.
Speaker 2: Now, Let's say for every ten cases to come by
Speaker 2: your desk, how many of them do you successfully satisfy
Speaker 2: the person, you do the right thing, you get the
Speaker 2: the payment or the circumstance rectified. Out of ten, how
Speaker 2: many do you have a success.
Speaker 4: Well, it depends, you know. I think that we take
Speaker 4: a look at what we know we can solve and what,
Speaker 4: you know, what's reasonable to be able to do. I mean,
Speaker 4: there are some things that you know, people really do
Speaker 4: need to get a lawyer, they need to file a lawsuit.
Speaker 4: They you know, there's more two with and just being
Speaker 4: able to make a few phone calls and send a
Speaker 4: few emails. So it's you know, it's a case by
Speaker 4: case basis. I mean, just a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 4: a woman got in touch with us who needed a
Speaker 4: serious operation, and she said that she was finally able
Speaker 4: to get her insurance company you know, or Healthcare Inc
Speaker 4: Sure to approve the operation, but they would not approve
Speaker 4: an overnight's stay, and the surgeon would not do the
Speaker 4: surgery unless she could stay overnight at the hospital because
Speaker 4: it was a major surgery. So after we got involved,
Speaker 4: her insurance carrier agreed to let her stay overnight, and
Speaker 4: she had the surgery and is doing well. But it's,
Speaker 4: you know, it's things like that. And you know, she
Speaker 4: had been trying for months to try to get this
Speaker 4: done and we were able to do it in just
Speaker 4: a few days. So in many cases, as I say,
Speaker 4: you know, it depends on what the problem is, it
Speaker 4: depends on getting to the right people, and you know,
Speaker 4: just really holding people accountable and making sure that they
Speaker 4: do what needs to be done and what the right
Speaker 4: thing is in many cases.
Speaker 2: And I only have about three or four minutes left
Speaker 2: with you, and by the way, I definitely will have
Speaker 2: you back in the spring, definitely. But let me ask
Speaker 2: this question, what is your backstore? You say you've been
Speaker 2: doing this for Channel four for about seven maybe eight years.
Speaker 2: I know you're only twenty five years old, so for
Speaker 2: how what were your tasks before this.
Speaker 4: Well, I started. I'm a lawyer, and so I practiced
Speaker 4: law here in Massachusetts for many years, and then I
Speaker 4: moved to New York, where I wasn't licensed to practice
Speaker 4: there yet, so I was teaching at a college. And
Speaker 4: that's when OJ happened. The OJ trial came about, and
Speaker 4: I started doing legal analysis and from legal analysis, this
Speaker 4: on television in New York. I once the trial started
Speaker 4: to wind down, I started reporting at w ABC, which
Speaker 4: is the ABC station in New York, and I was
Speaker 4: there for many years. I moved to the CBS station
Speaker 4: in New York for a few years, and then I
Speaker 4: moved back here to Boston. So a Boston home for me.
Speaker 4: So my family is all here, big Italian family. So
Speaker 4: I moved back home and ended up back in television here.
Speaker 4: And then I jumped out of TV here just for
Speaker 4: a short while and went to the Boston Police Department
Speaker 4: as this spokesperson, and that was during the Boston Marathon bombing,
Speaker 4: So I was there during that time and then went
Speaker 4: back to television after that. So, yeah, I've been doing
Speaker 4: this a while.
Speaker 2: Did we here in Boston have to pay a ransom
Speaker 2: to get you out of New York? That evil nasty,
Speaker 2: dirty city so I could come back to Boston and
Speaker 2: shine as you have done.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 4: I don't think there was a ransom. I did love
Speaker 4: New York and it's just a really beautiful, wonderful city,
Speaker 4: and I enjoyed my time there very much. I still
Speaker 4: have many friends there, but you know, Boston is home
Speaker 4: for me, so where my family is, it's you know,
Speaker 4: where a lot of my friends are. So I was
Speaker 4: happy to come back home and be able to do
Speaker 4: what I love. So very very fortunate and very grateful
Speaker 4: to be able to do that.
Speaker 2: Only brainwashed you, And we're going to have to deprogram
Speaker 2: you some more when you say all those nice things
Speaker 2: about New York.
Speaker 4: We'll work on that. We'll work on that, all right.
Speaker 2: And thank you for telling me yes to get you on.
Speaker 2: I was so surprised because I coordinated this through Karen
Speaker 2: Boussemi and she got back to me within a day
Speaker 2: and Cheryl said yes, and I was.
Speaker 4: Susan, Well, I'm of yours, Morgan. I I'm a big
Speaker 4: fan of yours, and I was thrilled that you invited me,
Speaker 4: So I'm delighted to do it. How the heck do
Speaker 4: you know about little me, little old you. You're not
Speaker 4: little old anything. Everyone knows you well.
Speaker 2: Thank you for that, and I will have you back
Speaker 2: in the spring, I promise, maybe even sooner than that.
Speaker 2: And you have a good weekend. And I tell this everybody,
Speaker 2: May twenty twenty five be a superb year.
