<v Speaker 1>month ago or so, and her husband answered, and I

12
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:01.560
<v Speaker 1>such going back to the eighties, when did you start

13
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>at BC?

14
00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:04.519
<v Speaker 2>I think it was eighteen eighty.

15
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:09.120
<v Speaker 1>No, no, no, no, no, no, I.

16
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:12.280
<v Speaker 2>Think it was. Actually the truth is it was nineteen

17
00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:16.840
<v Speaker 2>seventy eight, Okay, yeah, And it was a show called

18
00:01:16.959 --> 00:01:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Evening Magazine, right so, and that was, you know, syndicated

19
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:24.640
<v Speaker 2>across the country and it was a terrific show. Was

20
00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:26.599
<v Speaker 2>a brand new show when I first started, and that

21
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:29.200
<v Speaker 2>was my first gig on television. It was amazing. I

22
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:33.799
<v Speaker 2>used to demonstrate fads and gadgets. I used to tell

23
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.400
<v Speaker 2>people about how to have fun on an instant weekend.

24
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:39.840
<v Speaker 2>I used to tell people where they could go on

25
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:42.599
<v Speaker 2>a tank away. I did a lot of different pos.

26
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:44.359
<v Speaker 1>Oh that's an interesting concept.

27
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, it was great. One tank of gas, Yeah,

28
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:50.599
<v Speaker 2>one tank of gas. Where can you go? And I

29
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:53.920
<v Speaker 2>ended up doing stories actually abroad. I went to Liechtenstein

30
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 2>and did something on the watch industry. I went to Switzerland,

31
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.680
<v Speaker 2>of course, do something on the watch industry. I did

32
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:05.239
<v Speaker 2>a lot of a lot of very interesting things.

33
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.959
<v Speaker 1>You could have gone to wall Sam saved some frequent

34
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:11.479
<v Speaker 1>flyer miles. They they were famous for watches as.

35
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, Yes they were, you know. I was just thinking

36
00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:18.240
<v Speaker 2>about fads and gadgets. Some of the things I used

37
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:20.800
<v Speaker 2>to demonstrate. We used to look through all these strange

38
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:24.919
<v Speaker 2>catalogs like hammock Er, Schlemmer and see what was out there.

39
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:31.680
<v Speaker 2>And I remember once closer to home, you know, the snowboard. Yeah,

40
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:36.280
<v Speaker 2>for snowboarding was a thing. Well, there was a guy

41
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:41.240
<v Speaker 2>I forgot his first name, but Burton invented the snowboarder,

42
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:45.560
<v Speaker 2>created the snowboard, and we heard about it and he

43
00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:49.400
<v Speaker 2>sent one over and I actually demonstrated that and snowboards

44
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:52.800
<v Speaker 2>when they first came out actually had a rope attached

45
00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:56.560
<v Speaker 2>to them and you could hold onto this rope. Well,

46
00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:00.560
<v Speaker 2>you had both feet on this snowboard going down, you know,

47
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:03.680
<v Speaker 2>a slope. And I always wondered, what the heck did

48
00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:06.439
<v Speaker 2>I ever do with that snowboard? It was like the

49
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:07.639
<v Speaker 2>original snowboard.

50
00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:08.759
<v Speaker 1>How was your balance?

51
00:03:08.879 --> 00:03:11.159
<v Speaker 2>It would probably be in the Smithsonian or.

52
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:12.960
<v Speaker 3>Something, you know, how was your balance?

53
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:18.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh? It was marvelous, just marvelous. I was so incredibly athletic,

54
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:25.120
<v Speaker 2>nots but I still have a video of this, and

55
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:27.080
<v Speaker 2>it's just hysterical to me. Some of the things. I

56
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.800
<v Speaker 2>remember putting on a great, big rubber suit and jumping

57
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.360
<v Speaker 2>into the Charles River and floating down the river for

58
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.360
<v Speaker 2>some bizarre reason. I don't know. Just I did a

59
00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:38.560
<v Speaker 2>lot of interesting things before I ended up on the news,

60
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:43.520
<v Speaker 2>reporting on all the arts and entertainment in Boston and beyond.

61
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>And I mean from you know, red carpets at the Oscars,

<v Speaker 1>You've had a great career. It's not over me. Sad

66
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.840
<v Speaker 1>mill out there Joyce's Choices is still a website you

00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:10.120
<v Speaker 1>I know you and I are going to talk about cats,

69
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:14.759
<v Speaker 1>and I'll sell that when we come back. But you

70
00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:18.800
<v Speaker 1>were here, and there were two dare I say it,

71
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:23.120
<v Speaker 1>big summer movies opening up within a week or so.

72
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:29.279
<v Speaker 1>We've got Superman and Jurassic whatever. They keep flirting with

73
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:33.519
<v Speaker 1>the names. But let's talk about those two films and

74
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:36.920
<v Speaker 1>then we'll take it up. All right, Well, what do

75
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:37.759
<v Speaker 1>you know about them?

76
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:40.399
<v Speaker 2>But I can tell you that I did see F

77
00:04:40.759 --> 00:04:43.040
<v Speaker 2>one and we can talk about.

78
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:47.279
<v Speaker 1>That, okay, and we Our main subject is you and

79
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:53.199
<v Speaker 1>I wrapped around cats when we first decided what we're

80
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:53.720
<v Speaker 1>going to do.

81
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:56.839
<v Speaker 2>I love talking about kitty cats.

82
00:04:57.279 --> 00:04:58.199
<v Speaker 1>How many do you have?

83
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:03.279
<v Speaker 2>I just have one at the moment. Virgil, who's just lovely.

84
00:05:03.319 --> 00:05:07.160
<v Speaker 2>He had a brother, Jackson. But Jackson was born with

85
00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:10.000
<v Speaker 2>a congenital heart defect and we only had him for

86
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.120
<v Speaker 2>two years. We didn't know if we were going to

87
00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:14.199
<v Speaker 2>have him for two years or ten years. They said,

88
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:19.519
<v Speaker 2>there's no telling. And he lived a very full but

89
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:23.319
<v Speaker 2>short life. Jackson. He was adorable. Yeah.

90
00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Our cat Gray just turned five and he owns me.

91
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:36.639
<v Speaker 1>He owns Nancy wherever he wants. I'm surprised he doesn't

92
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:38.199
<v Speaker 1>have a set of keys to come and go.

93
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:43.240
<v Speaker 2>Mine doesn't need a set of keys. My cat totally

94
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:47.040
<v Speaker 2>bosses me out. She has me completely training to do

95
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:49.279
<v Speaker 2>whatever he wants me to do. And wait till I

96
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:51.759
<v Speaker 2>tell you some of the routines were into. It's hysterical.

97
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:53.000
<v Speaker 2>It's really pretty funny.

98
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:58.040
<v Speaker 1>He likes There used to be temptation treats, but we

99
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:03.759
<v Speaker 1>get another brand now. He loves those, and you could

100
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.519
<v Speaker 1>give him. We try to only give him three at

101
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:10.639
<v Speaker 1>a time, but that rule has been long since thrown away,

102
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:15.920
<v Speaker 1>and you could give him literally twenty something thirty something,

103
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:19.480
<v Speaker 1>and he'll take his paw and either touch the back

104
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:23.319
<v Speaker 1>of your hand or touch the container therein to say,

<v Speaker 1>The movie trying to help the man with potential reach

153
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:41.159
<v Speaker 1>that potential.

154
00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Exactly both of them essentially to become a team so

155
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:49.080
<v Speaker 2>that maybe they win the Grand Prix, which in the

156
00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:52.919
<v Speaker 2>in the film takes place in Abu Dhabi, So there's

157
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:54.639
<v Speaker 2>a lot of stuff that goes on. I mean, it's

158
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:59.039
<v Speaker 2>really incredibly thrilling. Apparently they really trained for months. They

159
00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:02.759
<v Speaker 2>actually are dry the cars at certain key points. They

160
00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:06.240
<v Speaker 2>have special cameras rigged up that that show you all

161
00:10:06.320 --> 00:10:10.279
<v Speaker 2>parts of the course and also inside the car. I mean,

162
00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:14.159
<v Speaker 2>I was gripping the armress, holding my breath. It was.

163
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:16.919
<v Speaker 2>It was really exciting. I mean there's a lot of

164
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.919
<v Speaker 2>cliches too. It's old versus young, it's about competition, there's

165
00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:26.039
<v Speaker 2>a little romance. It's it's about redemption, you know. I mean,

166
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:28.759
<v Speaker 2>it's about a lot of things. And and then there's

167
00:10:28.799 --> 00:10:30.919
<v Speaker 2>Brad Pitt, who looks amazing.

168
00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:36.559
<v Speaker 1>He really has maintained that look.

169
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:40.759
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, the guy is hot. He really is something else.

170
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:48.440
<v Speaker 2>But he plays it real cool, like in the you know,

171
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:50.360
<v Speaker 2>sort of the Steve McQueen kind of.

172
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Now, let's talk about cats, okay, a documentary that you saw,

173
00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, talk about.

174
00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:06.600
<v Speaker 2>It all right. This documentary really kind of opened my

175
00:11:06.679 --> 00:11:10.120
<v Speaker 2>eyes to something about cats that I really did not know.

176
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:14.799
<v Speaker 2>And I know cats so well. I've loved cats my

177
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:18.679
<v Speaker 2>entire life. I've had cats my entire life. I used

178
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:21.279
<v Speaker 2>to take in strays and find homes for them when

179
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:24.000
<v Speaker 2>I was a little girl, and I would interview people

180
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:26.080
<v Speaker 2>and make sure they were, you know, the right kind

181
00:11:26.120 --> 00:11:30.320
<v Speaker 2>of folks who understood cats. And if they decided it

182
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:32.720
<v Speaker 2>didn't work out, there had to be a trial period,

183
00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:34.679
<v Speaker 2>and if it didn't work out, they had to give

184
00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:37.679
<v Speaker 2>the cat back to me. They couldn't just release the cat,

185
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:41.519
<v Speaker 2>you know. So I was always very committed to them

186
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:45.120
<v Speaker 2>and love everything about them, and I thought I knew

187
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:48.320
<v Speaker 2>everything about them, but I didn't know this. There is

188
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:51.360
<v Speaker 2>a film that was sent to me called American Cats,

189
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:57.000
<v Speaker 2>The Good, the Bad, and the Cuddy title. It's an

190
00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:02.279
<v Speaker 2>award winning documentary. You see it on demand, and what

191
00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:06.519
<v Speaker 2>it's about is like sort of sounds like a cute

192
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:13.240
<v Speaker 2>cat film, but it unveils the controversial world of cat declawing,

193
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:18.919
<v Speaker 2>which I thought was a harmless something you could do

194
00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:22.519
<v Speaker 2>to a cat if you lived in the city and

195
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.000
<v Speaker 2>you didn't want to let your cat out and he

196
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:27.559
<v Speaker 2>was calling up your furniture or you know. I mean,

197
00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:29.440
<v Speaker 2>that's one of the things about cats. You have to

198
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:31.559
<v Speaker 2>kind of figure out you can trim their claws, but

199
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.240
<v Speaker 2>if they never go out, lots of people choose to

200
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:38.120
<v Speaker 2>declaw their cats, and I thought, okay, well, I get that.

201
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:40.919
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's just the front paws usually because they

202
00:12:40.919 --> 00:12:43.679
<v Speaker 2>need their back paws to scratch themselves, et cetera, and

203
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:47.519
<v Speaker 2>for some grooming. But it turns out that when you

204
00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:52.200
<v Speaker 2>declaw a cat, you're not just removing the claw sort

205
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:55.720
<v Speaker 2>of in a surgical way and leaving the whole paw intact.

206
00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:58.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh No, they go in and they chop off the

207
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:03.840
<v Speaker 2>first joint, which is an incredibly painful and mutilating thing

208
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:07.039
<v Speaker 2>to do to a cat. And some cats are so

209
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:10.360
<v Speaker 2>distressed by this that they end up sort of walking

210
00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:14.960
<v Speaker 2>on their elbows. It's painful. When they put their paws down,

211
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:20.159
<v Speaker 2>they can't. It's it's just a it's a really difficult,

212
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:25.360
<v Speaker 2>risky thing you do to a cat. It's really inhuman.

213
00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:31.600
<v Speaker 2>It's actually outlawed in many states. I think it's it's

214
00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:36.720
<v Speaker 2>outlawed in the California or they're moving to band cat

215
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:41.759
<v Speaker 2>decline in that state. California would then join five other states,

216
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:47.360
<v Speaker 2>including the District of Columbia, New York, Rhode Island, Maryland,

217
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:51.759
<v Speaker 2>and Virginia. The reason it's not out and out just

218
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:55.559
<v Speaker 2>banned is because it is a big money maker for

219
00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:58.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot of events. This thing that they do to

220
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.519
<v Speaker 2>the cats is real quick. It's like ten minutes they're

221
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:04.240
<v Speaker 2>in and out, and they make a bundle on it.

222
00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:07.679
<v Speaker 2>And a lot of people just don't know how bad

223
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:10.639
<v Speaker 2>it is. And there are lots of vets who will

224
00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:12.879
<v Speaker 2>just tell you, oh, it's fine, they're you know, but

225
00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:15.799
<v Speaker 2>these are not cat lovers. These are people, you know.

226
00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:18.320
<v Speaker 2>It's like in any profession, there are always people who

227
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:20.919
<v Speaker 2>are in it for the wrong reasons, don't care what

228
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:21.320
<v Speaker 2>they do.

229
00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:23.159
<v Speaker 1>There are money lovers and that's it.

230
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yeah, this is really cruel and I had

231
00:14:27.639 --> 00:14:30.639
<v Speaker 2>no idea. Now I will tell you it's not a

232
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:34.200
<v Speaker 2>gruesome documentary. I mean, that would be very hard for

233
00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:38.480
<v Speaker 2>me to watch. It's actually hosted by someone who's pretty comedic,

234
00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:42.559
<v Speaker 2>who's pretty funny, and she ends up calling veterinarians and

235
00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:45.480
<v Speaker 2>posing as somebody who wants to declaw cat and asks

236
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:49.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, all kinds of questions and they just lie, lie, lie,

237
00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:52.919
<v Speaker 2>on the other end, It's really kind of amazing. I

238
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:55.519
<v Speaker 2>totally recommend this documentary.

239
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.399
<v Speaker 1>Tell people where they can find it again on their

240
00:14:58.440 --> 00:14:59.200
<v Speaker 1>cable system.

241
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:03.559
<v Speaker 2>You can watch this on demand and it's on all

242
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:08.440
<v Speaker 2>digital platforms anywhere that you purchase or rent your films,

243
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:13.480
<v Speaker 2>and it I think it became available on June seventeenth,

244
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:16.159
<v Speaker 2>so it is just out in the last two or

245
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:21.200
<v Speaker 2>three weeks. It is called American Cats, The Good, the Bad,

246
00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:24.039
<v Speaker 2>and the Cudley. And if you look at the poster

247
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:27.039
<v Speaker 2>is the poster is actually kind of amusing, which is

248
00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:30.360
<v Speaker 2>a sort of this ironic way they approach the subject

249
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:33.639
<v Speaker 2>so that you can actually watch it again. You're not

250
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:36.039
<v Speaker 2>going to see anything bloody and gruesome, but you're going

251
00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:38.960
<v Speaker 2>to hear the gruesome details. You're gonna you're going to

252
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:41.600
<v Speaker 2>understand why you should never do.

253
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:47.200
<v Speaker 1>This to a cat, and everybody can learn something.

254
00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this was a This was a shocker to me

255
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:53.919
<v Speaker 2>and I'm so glad I never declawed a cat. I mean,

256
00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:55.759
<v Speaker 2>I you know, I think there was a time when

257
00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:57.559
<v Speaker 2>I might have thought about it. But you know, I

258
00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:00.639
<v Speaker 2>let my cats in and out, but we live, you know, suburbs,

259
00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:02.840
<v Speaker 2>so it works, and I don't let them out at

260
00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:05.360
<v Speaker 2>night because you know, we do have coyotes around here.

261
00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:11.200
<v Speaker 2>Actually lost a kitty to a coyote. Louis my poor Louis. Yuh,

262
00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:16.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean it happens. It happens, and Louis killed many

263
00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:18.519
<v Speaker 2>a bird and many a mouse, so you know, it's

264
00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:22.759
<v Speaker 2>all part of the natural cycle, as it were. But no,

265
00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:26.679
<v Speaker 2>I'm careful about when I let the cat out. But yeah,

266
00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:29.519
<v Speaker 2>I never I never did have a catty claude, and

267
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:32.759
<v Speaker 2>now I'm actively advocating against it.

268
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:37.639
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm going to tell the three people on hold. Jack,

269

<v Speaker 1>And I'm going to say this, Bradley Jay next week

301
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:44.240
<v Speaker 1>is going to have Peter Wolf as a guest.

302
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:48.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, I've met Peter Wolf a couple of times. Well,

303
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:53.400
<v Speaker 5>besides with you, uh and uh uh. Well, he used

304
00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:56.759
<v Speaker 5>to go to a lot of the shows around Cambridge.

305
00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:00.960
<v Speaker 5>They bring a couple of bottles away. Great, you know

306
00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:02.079
<v Speaker 5>they're right.

307
00:19:02.559 --> 00:19:04.079
<v Speaker 3>Well, and he just wrote a book.

308
00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:06.839
<v Speaker 2>He just wrote a terrific book all about his experiences,

309
00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:10.599
<v Speaker 2>which is really phenomenally interesting. The guy's very, you know,

310
00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:13.960
<v Speaker 2>very literate and really really interesting person.

311
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

312
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:19.279
<v Speaker 5>I know, well my brother has the book. I'm waiting

313
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:22.680
<v Speaker 5>you get it at any right? You tied at Brookline?

314
00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:23.359
<v Speaker 5>How you am?

315
00:19:23.440 --> 00:19:24.039
<v Speaker 1>I correct?

316
00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:27.559
<v Speaker 2>I did. I taught there for two and a half years.

317
00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:32.440
<v Speaker 2>I think it was from nineteen seventy six till about

318
00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:38.680
<v Speaker 2>nineteen seventy eight, and then I quit and found a

319
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:40.799
<v Speaker 2>job on television. It was that.

320
00:19:40.920 --> 00:19:42.759
<v Speaker 1>Summer lucky you.

321
00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was kind of an amazing thing. But yes,

322
00:19:46.519 --> 00:19:47.839
<v Speaker 2>why were you a student there?

323
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:49.039
<v Speaker 1>No?

324
00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:53.799
<v Speaker 5>But well I'm just wondering. Did you have Conan O'Brien

325
00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:55.279
<v Speaker 5>as a student by any kids?

326
00:19:55.799 --> 00:20:00.319
<v Speaker 2>Conan O'Brien's brother was in my homeroom, believe it or not.

327
00:20:02.559 --> 00:20:04.400
<v Speaker 3>Okay, but I did.

328
00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:07.880
<v Speaker 2>Actually when Conan took over the show, you know, when

329
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:12.279
<v Speaker 2>he got on television like so many Boston people do.

330
00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:14.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what it is. It's something in the

331
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:20.079
<v Speaker 2>water here, something about comedians hosting hosting talk shows. Conan

332
00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:24.200
<v Speaker 2>O'Brien had me down to New York and we did

333
00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:27.720
<v Speaker 2>an interview, and then I went to his home in Brookline.

334
00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:32.039
<v Speaker 2>I met his parents and his sister. Just incredible guy.

335
00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:36.519
<v Speaker 2>And now he's just gotten a huge award, the Mark

336
00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:40.440
<v Speaker 2>Twain Award for Comedy. But yeah, we go, we go

337
00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:44.039
<v Speaker 2>way back to Brookline High. But I didn't have Conan.

338
00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:48.200
<v Speaker 2>I had his brother, his brother in my homeroom.

339
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:53.319
<v Speaker 1>And you were there in seventy six. I graduated in

340
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:54.680
<v Speaker 1>nineteen seventy one.

341
00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:56.559
<v Speaker 2>Oh you're kidding.

342
00:20:58.400 --> 00:20:59.200
<v Speaker 1>Thought you knew there?

343
00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I didn't remember that. Now we missed. We just

344
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:05.359
<v Speaker 2>missed each other in years.

345
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:08.480
<v Speaker 1>All right, Jack? What else? Real quick?

346
00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:09.720
<v Speaker 5>Okay?

347
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:10.039
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

348
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:13.880
<v Speaker 5>Well, if I can fill in a blank, The Rolling

349
00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:18.920
<v Speaker 5>Stones caught the gym down in Green Airport in Rhode

350
00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:21.319
<v Speaker 5>Island and Kevin Moore and they were supposed to play

351
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:24.079
<v Speaker 5>in Boston. Kevin White had to get them out of

352
00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:28.480
<v Speaker 5>jail and get them up to uh Boston, God and all,

353
00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:29.839
<v Speaker 5>there was going to be a riot.

354
00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:34.519
<v Speaker 2>If anyone could do it, it was Kevin White.

355
00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:42.920
<v Speaker 5>Oh God, he was an amazing mirror. Kevin Hagen, Kevin

356
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:46.640
<v Speaker 5>from Heaven. Uh Dap O'Neill used to call him that.

357
00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:52.160
<v Speaker 5>Ay right, okay, great, nice talking to you, and thanks

358
00:21:52.200 --> 00:21:53.440
<v Speaker 5>for getting me on TV.

359
00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:57.519
<v Speaker 2>Are you so welcome? Jack? Nice to nice to catch up.

360
00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Take care of Jack, bye bye, and now, without further ado,

361
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:08.279
<v Speaker 1>a guest, I'm Morgan coming up next week. Actually, here's Dixie.

362
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:10.480
<v Speaker 6>Yes, you have to call me and tell me when

363
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:10.799
<v Speaker 6>I'm on.

364
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:15.440
<v Speaker 1>All right, well, hold on, talk to Joyce. Why I

365
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:16.680
<v Speaker 1>flipped through some pages.

366
00:22:16.880 --> 00:22:21.119
<v Speaker 6>I've been waiting to talk to Joyce for about fifteen years.

367
00:22:22.680 --> 00:22:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, get in line, pal, and what do you mean?

368
00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:30.359
<v Speaker 6>And calling her the empress sounds like hyperbole, but in

369
00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:32.599
<v Speaker 6>this case it's probably an understatement.

370
00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:38.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, So where have you been all my life?

371
00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:43.920
<v Speaker 2>Why have you been waiting for fifteen years? What's going on?

372
00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:46.920
<v Speaker 6>I have two film questions. But first of all, I'm

373
00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:50.960
<v Speaker 6>talking kitties because I have four that were Ferrells and

374
00:22:51.039 --> 00:22:54.559
<v Speaker 6>I have had him for fifteen years. Oh wow, I

375
00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:57.359
<v Speaker 6>believe I told I was the first person to tell

376
00:22:57.440 --> 00:23:00.559
<v Speaker 6>Morgan what he should expect when he got his kiddy.

377
00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:04.559
<v Speaker 2>Oh, because he's got Maine coon cats or a Maine

378
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:05.160
<v Speaker 2>coon cat.

379
00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:09.079
<v Speaker 1>I used to They have both unfortunately passed on. But

380
00:23:09.240 --> 00:23:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Gray is a British short.

381
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:15.400
<v Speaker 2>Hair Oh yeah, those are so beautiful. I love those cats.

382
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:19.119
<v Speaker 2>But I'm interested in the feral cats. You have four

383
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:23.119
<v Speaker 2>cats who were feral, and you were able to domesticate

384
00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:24.039
<v Speaker 2>them to some extent.

385
00:23:24.519 --> 00:23:27.079
<v Speaker 6>I brought they were brought into the house by me,

386
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:32.240
<v Speaker 6>very carefully, very slowly, fifteen years ago, when their mother

387
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:35.160
<v Speaker 6>decided this was going to be a good house in

388
00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:36.279
<v Speaker 6>which to leave them.

389
00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I know, that's wonderful. So they're all they're litter mats.

390
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:46.240
<v Speaker 6>They're litter mats. I actually had more, but a couple

391
00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:48.680
<v Speaker 6>of them have passed away, but I still have four.

392
00:23:49.519 --> 00:23:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Oh, they're just so. Are they all different from

393
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:52.680
<v Speaker 2>each other? Too?

394
00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:57.160
<v Speaker 6>Oh? Yes, absolutely, I have twos about cats.

395
00:23:57.359 --> 00:23:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Two tigers, super dogs too.

396
00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:02.359
<v Speaker 6>But I have two tigers and two blacks. And one

397
00:24:02.440 --> 00:24:06.200
<v Speaker 6>black is the step the step brother of the other three.

398
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:10.440
<v Speaker 6>Same father, I mean, same mother, different father.

399
00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Interesting, Yeah, they can do You can do that in

400
00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:16.039
<v Speaker 2>the same litter actually, that that can happen.

401
00:24:16.640 --> 00:24:18.400
<v Speaker 6>Well, the mother thought it was a good idea the

402
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:20.240
<v Speaker 6>first time, and she thought it was a good idea

403
00:24:20.279 --> 00:24:22.039
<v Speaker 6>the second time the second time.

404
00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:27.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh and by the way, Dixie, Dixie, a week from tomorrow,

405
00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:31.759
<v Speaker 1>A week from tomorrow, the eleventh of July. Okay, you're

406
00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:33.359
<v Speaker 1>on ten to midnight.

407
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:37.880
<v Speaker 6>Okay, fine, okay, all right, Joyce, here are your two

408
00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:42.200
<v Speaker 6>film questions. We're gonna get in mister Peabody's time machine

409
00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:45.960
<v Speaker 6>for a second. Wait, okay, I have been waiting to

410
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:48.759
<v Speaker 6>ask you these two questions for a very long time.

411
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:52.680
<v Speaker 6>Question number one is, on a scale of ten, give

412
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:57.000
<v Speaker 6>me your performance rating for Madonna in A League of

413
00:24:57.039 --> 00:24:57.480
<v Speaker 6>Their Own?

414
00:24:58.359 --> 00:25:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh, she was terrific League of their Own performance rating. Honestly,

415
00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:05.799
<v Speaker 2>she was probably like a nine out of ten. She

416
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:09.160
<v Speaker 2>was great in that. And Madonna was not the best

417
00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:11.720
<v Speaker 2>actress in the world. She could be so stiff and

418
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:14.440
<v Speaker 2>cold on camera and not be able to do anything.

419
00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:17.920
<v Speaker 2>But A League of their Own was quite promising, and

420
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:20.759
<v Speaker 2>the other one was desperately seeking Susan. She was actually

421
00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:22.799
<v Speaker 2>quite good in that. But I love that movie, A

422
00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:25.960
<v Speaker 2>League of their Own. That's a terrific film, and she

423
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:28.240
<v Speaker 2>was very funny in it, and they cast her just right.

424
00:25:28.759 --> 00:25:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Suppose I'm going for a fly ball and suppose Yeah,

425
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:37.839
<v Speaker 1>a great movie line.

426
00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:41.359
<v Speaker 6>My favorite thirty seconds in that movie is when Shirley

427
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:43.839
<v Speaker 6>Baker doesn't know that her name is on the list

428
00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:48.880
<v Speaker 6>because she can't read right. I know there's something that

429
00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:51.640
<v Speaker 6>could have been put on the cutting room floor. Nobody

430
00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:53.960
<v Speaker 6>would have known it, but it was exactly great.

431
00:25:54.640 --> 00:25:59.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, terrific. I love. I have to say my favorite

432
00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:08.680
<v Speaker 2>line from that film is nobody cries in base in baseball,

433
00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:11.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god. Tom Hanks was so great. He was perfect.

434
00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:13.400
<v Speaker 6>He was perfect form.

435
00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:17.720
<v Speaker 2>And as you miss Geena Davis, I just miss her period.

436
00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:20.079
<v Speaker 2>But she's gone on to do wonderful things about women

437
00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:21.240
<v Speaker 2>in film and media.

438
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:25.359
<v Speaker 6>So yeah, okay. The second question take us back to

439
00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:30.599
<v Speaker 6>you sitting in the theater the very first time, the

440
00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:34.960
<v Speaker 6>first two minutes of you sitting and watching the opening

441
00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:40.240
<v Speaker 6>scene of Star Wars number one. What are you thinking?

442
00:26:40.640 --> 00:26:42.759
<v Speaker 2>Oh gosh, I knew you were going to ask me

443
00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:46.440
<v Speaker 2>about Star Wars. This is so funny because when that,

444
00:26:50.799 --> 00:26:55.160
<v Speaker 2>I have to tell you, I remember being amazed, just

445
00:26:55.200 --> 00:27:00.400
<v Speaker 2>by the credits, Yeah, just by the credit it said.

446
00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:03.359
<v Speaker 2>I felt like, well, it felt like the world was

447
00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:07.000
<v Speaker 2>doubling in size somehow, and who knew, but the cinematic

448
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:09.880
<v Speaker 2>world really was, and we were being ushered into this

449
00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:14.000
<v Speaker 2>whole franchise. But we weren't even calling it a franchise.

450
00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:16.839
<v Speaker 2>It was just stuff we hadn't seen before. So I

451
00:27:16.839 --> 00:27:22.279
<v Speaker 2>do remember that. I can't remember too much more about that,

452
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:25.079
<v Speaker 2>you know, I mean only that I loved the film

453
00:27:25.480 --> 00:27:29.720
<v Speaker 2>and I do remember that my predecessor on wb Z

454
00:27:30.039 --> 00:27:32.519
<v Speaker 2>And I'm just blanking on her name. Maybe my husband

455
00:27:32.599 --> 00:27:40.680
<v Speaker 2>remembers it. No, it was somebody she did arts and entertainment,

456
00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:42.960
<v Speaker 2>like just movies. I think it was a.

457
00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Name, and I can't remember it either. It'll come to me.

458
00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:49.119
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I'm trying to remember. In any case, she trashed

459
00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:55.599
<v Speaker 2>the film. She trashed the film but didn't compute at all.

460
00:27:55.640 --> 00:27:58.720
<v Speaker 2>And I remember when I saw it. I remember feeling

461
00:27:58.759 --> 00:28:02.759
<v Speaker 2>like my world was opening up and it was delightful.

462
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:06.319
<v Speaker 2>What was what was her name? Oh yeah, Mary Stuart,

463
00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:09.559
<v Speaker 2>Mary Stuart.

464
00:28:09.640 --> 00:28:11.160
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

465
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:13.559
<v Speaker 2>In any case, that's that's all I can tell you.

466
00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:16.839
<v Speaker 2>I remember I enjoyed it. I thought it was It

467
00:28:16.960 --> 00:28:22.119
<v Speaker 2>had a very interesting tone. It was funny, but it

468
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:26.039
<v Speaker 2>was also exciting, and it had these quirky characters. And

469
00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:29.400
<v Speaker 2>I remember loving Harrison Ford and I just I mean,

470
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:31.839
<v Speaker 2>it was the credits that just popped from me, like,

471
00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:35.599
<v Speaker 2>oh my god, We're off on an adventure, and it

472
00:28:35.720 --> 00:28:38.160
<v Speaker 2>was it was like my world doubled in size. It

473
00:28:38.200 --> 00:28:38.759
<v Speaker 2>was amazing.

474
00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:42.279
<v Speaker 6>I know. I remember the first two minutes. I was

475
00:28:42.319 --> 00:28:45.400
<v Speaker 6>sitting there in whatever theater I was in, and I

476
00:28:45.480 --> 00:28:48.599
<v Speaker 6>just said, holy blank blank, what is coming next.

477
00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you were soaring through space. It was amazing.

478
00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:56.279
<v Speaker 1>If you saw it in Boston, you probably started the

479
00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Childs Theater there for a year.

480
00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:01.279
<v Speaker 6>That's right, I did see it there.

481
00:29:01.839 --> 00:29:03.680
<v Speaker 2>I think that's where I saw it as a matter

482
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:05.759
<v Speaker 2>of fact, And of course that's that's not there. But

483
00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:09.720
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about that theater that's on, that was on.

484
00:29:11.079 --> 00:29:12.160
<v Speaker 2>Is it Tremont Street?

485
00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:14.079
<v Speaker 1>That is Cambridge Street.

486
00:29:14.119 --> 00:29:17.799
<v Speaker 7>At the Cambridge Street Cambridge Street, it becomes Tremont in

487
00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:22.359
<v Speaker 7>like fright, the other part of Tremont Street, and it's

488
00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:27.079
<v Speaker 7>it's Cambridge Street and a great big theater set way

489
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:29.359
<v Speaker 7>back in like a plaza, a shopping.

490
00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Plaza, yes, a stop and drop plaza.

504
00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:28.440
<v Speaker 1>wanted to have me ask you a question of all

505
00:30:28.519 --> 00:30:33.680
<v Speaker 1>the gazillions of movies you have watched and enjoyed. Yes,

506
00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:37.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to restrict it to one, but give

507
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:39.119
<v Speaker 1>me three top favorites.

508
00:30:39.880 --> 00:30:42.799
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, again, this is so hard. I mean,

509
00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:45.599
<v Speaker 2>the first one that comes to mind, obviously is The Godfather.

510
00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:48.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh you whatever, that's not I just get sucked in.

511
00:30:48.240 --> 00:30:51.759
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I just watched another one the other night.

512
00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:55.319
<v Speaker 2>And by the way, I'm remembering that as Marlon Branda

513
00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:59.039
<v Speaker 2>was sitting there during the wedding behind his desk, as

514
00:30:59.079 --> 00:31:02.240
<v Speaker 2>various people are coming into, you know, pay homage, et cetera,

515
00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:06.680
<v Speaker 2>he's stroking a cat. He's playing with the beautiful little

516
00:31:06.759 --> 00:31:09.200
<v Speaker 2>kitty cat, and it goes on and on and on

517
00:31:09.319 --> 00:31:13.880
<v Speaker 2>in that scene. I'm just remembering that. No, I don't

518
00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:20.640
<v Speaker 2>think he ever had a name. Pretty really, yeah, what

519
00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:25.480
<v Speaker 2>what was what was the cat's name? The cat's name

520
00:31:25.559 --> 00:31:26.200
<v Speaker 2>was Brando.

521
00:31:26.839 --> 00:31:29.720
<v Speaker 1>That's what I've heard. The cat's name was Brando.

522
00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. So the Godfather

523
00:31:34.119 --> 00:31:38.319
<v Speaker 2>is right there. Other films that come to mind right

524
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:45.279
<v Speaker 2>away Days of Heaven Early Richard gear film and Terrence

525
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:51.359
<v Speaker 2>Malick cinematography, uh and Nsral Mendros, Fanny and Alexander Igmar

526
00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:55.079
<v Speaker 2>Bergmann phenomenal. And then I like movies that I can

527
00:31:55.200 --> 00:31:57.920
<v Speaker 2>just watch over and over again whenever they're on. I

528
00:31:57.960 --> 00:32:03.079
<v Speaker 2>love watching The Fugitive with Harrison Ford as the fugitive,

529
00:32:03.200 --> 00:32:08.359
<v Speaker 2>doctor Richard Kimball, Tommy Lee Jones after him. They're perfectly matched.

530
00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:12.480
<v Speaker 2>I love die Hard. I love Sense and Sensibility with

531
00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Kate Winslet and Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant. I love

532
00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:22.319
<v Speaker 2>Something's Gotta Give with Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson and

533
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Keanu Reeves. I mean, there are so many, so many,

534
00:32:26.319 --> 00:32:27.680
<v Speaker 2>so many, And.

535
00:32:27.319 --> 00:32:33.119
<v Speaker 1>I like that scene from The Fugitive where he's on

536
00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:36.160
<v Speaker 1>the act. The fugitive is on the aqueductor and it's

537
00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:41.079
<v Speaker 1>either arender or jump fifty feet into the water.

538
00:32:41.440 --> 00:32:44.240
<v Speaker 2>It looks like more than fifty feet. It's crazy. It's

539
00:32:44.319 --> 00:32:45.480
<v Speaker 2>so crazy.

540
00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:50.960
<v Speaker 1>I didn't kill my wife, and Jones says Richard, I

541
00:32:51.079 --> 00:32:51.680
<v Speaker 1>don't care.

542
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:56.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't care, which becomes this lightmotif through the entire film,

543
00:32:56.720 --> 00:32:58.920
<v Speaker 2>right right up to the last scene where they're sitting

544
00:32:58.960 --> 00:33:02.880
<v Speaker 2>in the car, sitting in the in the police bark.

545
00:33:03.000 --> 00:33:03.200
<v Speaker 7>You know.

546
00:33:03.599 --> 00:33:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, let's take our last call the night. Kirk in

547
00:33:07.279 --> 00:33:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Baltimore spoke with you a week or so ago. Welcome back, Kirk.

548
00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:14.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh, good evening, Morgan, Good evening, Joyce. I told you

549
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:20.000
<v Speaker 3>I called back for your kiddie show. Mister Vinn. He's

550
00:33:20.000 --> 00:33:22.880
<v Speaker 3>sitting on the porch right now contemplating his past glories

551
00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:27.720
<v Speaker 3>when he had upper fangs. But that's anyway. I'll just

552
00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:30.880
<v Speaker 3>tell you real quick. My mother used to work for

553
00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:33.359
<v Speaker 3>a vet down here in Maryland, and this is thirty

554
00:33:33.440 --> 00:33:35.920
<v Speaker 3>years ago. He would not declawe any cats when people

555
00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:37.039
<v Speaker 3>brought him in he refused.

556
00:33:37.079 --> 00:33:38.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm so glad to hear it.

557
00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:42.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he was very adamant. And since you like feral cats.

558
00:33:42.519 --> 00:33:45.440
<v Speaker 3>Real quick. I worked for the CSX. I'm a low

559
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:49.920
<v Speaker 3>locomotive engineer and we have yard cats and I take

560
00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:53.319
<v Speaker 3>care of them, and I've seen them and my and

561
00:33:53.359 --> 00:33:55.440
<v Speaker 3>when we come back in the evening from our run

562
00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:58.920
<v Speaker 3>and put the put the engine away, my conductor and

563
00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:01.799
<v Speaker 3>the yard master called the big cat because they all

564
00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:03.960
<v Speaker 3>come over to the engine and they wait for me

565
00:34:04.039 --> 00:34:06.119
<v Speaker 3>to get off of it. Now there's only one I

566
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:08.119
<v Speaker 3>can pet, and the rest of them keep their distance,

567
00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:10.159
<v Speaker 3>but they all wait till the big cat comes over.

568
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:12.159
<v Speaker 3>We have dried me out, and I give them a

569
00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:15.360
<v Speaker 3>cannon wet food at night and they sit there on

570
00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:17.480
<v Speaker 3>a bench and just relax with them, and they just

571
00:34:17.719 --> 00:34:21.039
<v Speaker 3>and then they just disappear. But so I do, my little.

572
00:34:21.119 --> 00:34:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Sweet I love that story. I just love that story.

573
00:34:24.840 --> 00:34:28.400
<v Speaker 2>And you know, the cat cats are just so well,

574
00:34:28.440 --> 00:34:32.119
<v Speaker 2>they're they're very subtle, obviously, and they're all quite different

575
00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:35.599
<v Speaker 2>from each other. But they do like human companionship. But

576
00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:39.159
<v Speaker 2>they're lone creatures. You know, they're solitary, and I sort

577
00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:41.480
<v Speaker 2>of admire that about them. They're very independent.

578
00:34:41.800 --> 00:34:44.719
<v Speaker 1>Kirk. Let me ask you, because i've heard this about

579
00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:49.480
<v Speaker 1>rail yards, is there a rodent problem that the cats

580
00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:50.559
<v Speaker 1>kind of keep in check?

581
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:55.719
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, they handle all the mice. And it's funny.

582
00:34:55.719 --> 00:34:58.599
<v Speaker 3>We have and we have foxes running around and we

583
00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:01.400
<v Speaker 3>do Baltimore City, so those foxes are rough.

584
00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Once in a while, I have foxes out here where

585
00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:07.039
<v Speaker 2>I live, and they're so gorgeous.

586
00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:10.199
<v Speaker 3>Well, we had a pair when we left out of

587
00:35:10.199 --> 00:35:12.119
<v Speaker 3>the yard. We have an interlocking, which is a bunch

588
00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:14.199
<v Speaker 3>of power switches, and there was a mother and I

589
00:35:14.199 --> 00:35:16.880
<v Speaker 3>guess they call them kits, right, there was three of

590
00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:19.079
<v Speaker 3>them running around in the springtime, and then a little

591
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:21.639
<v Speaker 3>stand out there playing and you're just like, and you

592
00:35:21.679 --> 00:35:24.039
<v Speaker 3>guys just have a rough I'm feeding the cats. I

593
00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:27.559
<v Speaker 3>feel sorry for the foxes. I don't know. I got

594
00:35:27.559 --> 00:35:28.159
<v Speaker 3>to stop them.

595
00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:33.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, don't stop. It's wonderful. It's absolutely wonderful.

596
00:35:33.480 --> 00:35:35.599
<v Speaker 1>Kirk. Do you know what they call a female fox?

597
00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:38.400
<v Speaker 3>A vixen?

598
00:35:40.599 --> 00:35:41.199
<v Speaker 2>Wonderful?

599
00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:48.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I know, my creatures. But you can just

600
00:35:48.800 --> 00:35:50.960
<v Speaker 3>refer to me as the big cat in the future.

601
00:35:52.599 --> 00:35:54.679
<v Speaker 2>You know. It's so funny. Kirk. You have the name

602
00:35:54.760 --> 00:35:58.480
<v Speaker 2>of the cat next door. They have a cat named Kirk.

603
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:01.400
<v Speaker 2>And this cat over to my house all the time,

604
00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:05.039
<v Speaker 2>and he's an incredible hunter. And my cat, Virgil does

605
00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:06.840
<v Speaker 2>not like him at all. They sort of, you know,

606
00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:11.920
<v Speaker 2>they've they've they've managed to keep their distance and kind of,

607
00:36:12.079 --> 00:36:16.239
<v Speaker 2>you know, tolerate each other. But I think Kirk is

608
00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:18.639
<v Speaker 2>such a great cat name. But you're the big Kirk.

609
