WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:02.640 It's y. 2 00:00:03.279 --> 00:00:06.040 I'm telling you Boston's radio. 3 00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:10.119 Rob. I think you had to wake the announcer guy up. 4 00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:13.720 Al was right there. Al appreciated. What was that announcer 5 00:00:13.720 --> 00:00:17.719 guy doing? Was he nodding off or something? Or up? Well? 6 00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:22.800 I don't is that Al checking in here? That's Rob? Okay, 7 00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:25.039 good enough? I wasn't sure. I mean Al was right 8 00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:29.199 a spot on. Here's Dan Ray And like the announcer guy, 9 00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:31.440 isn't he like sitting in the boot there and ready 10 00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:33.240 to play the song? 11 00:00:33.320 --> 00:00:35.479 I think the buttons the buttons were sticky there. 12 00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:39.560 Oh okay, all right, there's Al. Now, Hey Al, how 13 00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:42.799 are you doing? Dan? Great to hear your voice. I'm 14 00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:46.560 surprised the Bruins. Basically they have draft rights to this 15 00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:49.000 kid now for a while of this guy from BC, 16 00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:52.240 but uh, I think they need some more immediate help. 17 00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:56.039 I'm surprised that. I'm happy for the for the young 18 00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:57.320 man from Boston College. 19 00:00:57.359 --> 00:00:59.880 But yeah, long, long way to go. They've got for 20 00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:02.719 agency coming up too, but they still have six more picks. 21 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.239 But these are all dann My goodness, right, these are teenagers, 22 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.920 eighteen year old, so it's a uh. 23 00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:13.799 It's a shot in the dark. And and the The 24 00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:16.400 Socks were edged tonight by by the Blue Jays. 25 00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:20.280 Close game. Yep, nine zip, yeah, four hits for the Socks. 26 00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:22.599 They are sputtering as they say. 27 00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.400 Yeah. I'm beginning to think that the Devers move might 28 00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:28.000 not have been as good as moved as people thought. 29 00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:31.120 Well, he's not. He's not exactly lighting lighting it on 30 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:32.959 fire out out of the West coast. 31 00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.359 He's got a couple of homers. I don't know what 32 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:36.359 he done, what he did tonight. I'm not sure whether 33 00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:39.640 I think they're I think they are playing the White 34 00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:44.040 Sox tonight if I'm not mistaken, which in my opinion, 35 00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:47.879 might be an opportunity for But no, look, Devers has 36 00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:50.760 had two home runs in the last week. Was that 37 00:01:51.719 --> 00:01:52.719 a few hits. 38 00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:55.079 Could be a could be a long hot summer? Here, Dan, 39 00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:56.840 I'm afraid, and. 40 00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:59.000 I don't want my summer ruined. You know that's what 41 00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:00.560 that's what what this week. 42 00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:02.959 Ruin my summer? 43 00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:06.879 Thanks al you? All right? All right, So here we 44 00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:08.639 are at the end of the week twentieth hour. I 45 00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:11.879 am not going to go over all the things we 46 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.400 covered this week. We covered lots of stuff, okay, and 47 00:02:15.479 --> 00:02:17.240 a lot of it, as I'm sure you know, dealt 48 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:22.159 with President Trump and the the Iranian attack, which now 49 00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:26.280 appears to be very successful. The ceasefire is holding between 50 00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:30.039 Iran and Israel. Uh and uh yeah, it's it's been 51 00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:33.840 a it's been a historic week. But I'm going to 52 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:38.039 challenge you, and I like to challenge my audience, so 53 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:41.840 please the only reason I challenge you is that you 54 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:46.680 always rise to the occasion. I had an interesting experience 55 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.000 on Sunday night. Some of you have heard me talk 56 00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:51.919 about it, but I want to explain it to you, 57 00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:57.280 and I want to explain I went from a moment 58 00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:03.120 of real panic through the assistance of a young guy 59 00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:08.840 at a gas station. And I will tell the story. 60 00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:11.240 And I don't expect your stories to maybe be as 61 00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:13.919 dramatic as mine, but I want to find out from 62 00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:17.319 you something that good happened, something that was good that 63 00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:19.879 happened to you this week. It's been a tough week. 64 00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:23.479 We were, you know, on the verge of war and 65 00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:25.520 all that worked out great, which is fine, But I'm 66 00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:29.680 talking about on a personal level, on that close to 67 00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:32.879 home level, maybe you did something this week that you're 68 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:36.360 proud of that you'd like to talk about. That's what 69 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:39.000 I want you to think about. Here. Let me tell 70 00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:42.120 you my story. I'm coming back from the Cape on 71 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:48.080 Sunday evening and the traffic has sort of abated. I'm 72 00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:52.680 moving along on Route three North. I'm off the Cape 73 00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:57.199 over the bridge on Route three through Plymouth. I'm thirty 74 00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:00.120 miles from home something like that. Thirty thirty five miles 75 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.560 from home. All of a sudden, my oil light goes on. 76 00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:10.120 Now it says low oil. I am not great on cars, 77 00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:15.439 And immediately my heart was in my throat. What does 78 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.319 that mean? Okay? I'm alone. I don't have someone who 79 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:21.199 can pull the information out of the owner's manual in 80 00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:24.319 the book. What I have a I guess now, a 81 00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:27.879 twelve year old Vovo station waget. Okay, I love the car. 82 00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.079 It doesn't fail me. Knock on wood. I don't want 83 00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:34.360 to jinx myself. But at that point, I'm thinking to myself, 84 00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:37.160 what do I do? Put yourself in my shoes? Do 85 00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:40.600 I try to get home? What happens if the agencies 86 00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:43.120 is up on Ruth three, that's not going to be good. 87 00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:45.480 And all of a sudden, as if I had a 88 00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:48.560 guardian angel on my shoulder, I see a sign on 89 00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:53.000 Ruth three that says gas stations one mile ahead and 90 00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:58.319 it says mobile station. Now I've gotten off roadways during 91 00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:00.959 my life looking for a gas station and the sign 92 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.759 says come off, you know, get off this exit and 93 00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:07.040 there's no gas station. You got to take a guess. 94 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:08.959 Do I go left? Do I go right? It's ten 95 00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:12.560 thirty at night or maybe ten fifteen at night. Well, 96 00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:18.000 I came off the exit. I almost didn't take the exit, 97 00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:20.399 but there was something at the last moment that said 98 00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:23.279 to me, take the exit. Take the exit. And I 99 00:05:23.399 --> 00:05:26.079 was probably going a little too fast and I almost 100 00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:28.360 missed it. But I got off the exit. It was 101 00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.800 a nice slow exit. I came out to a set 102 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:33.680 of lights. I looked to my left and there was 103 00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:36.639 a gas station, the mobile station all lit up right there. 104 00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:41.279 I thought, well, keep let's see what happened. So I 105 00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:43.959 drove into the station and there was a young guy 106 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:48.879 sitting there. It was just it was a pretty hot night. 107 00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:51.079 Wasn't what we were going to get on Monday and Tuesday, 108 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:54.000 but it was. It was a precursor to that. So 109 00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:56.720 I rolled up right by the front door, rolled down 110 00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.720 my window and I said, can I buy some oil 111 00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.759 from what's your problem. I said, I'm down on oil. 112 00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:06.000 My light has just gone on. I found out later 113 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:08.240 than a yellow light. If it was a red light, 114 00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:11.800 you got to stop. But I could have probably gone 115 00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.639 a little further. But I got off the road. This guy, 116 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.360 this young guy, he's about twenty four to twenty five. 117 00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:21.680 I don't know. Could have been nicer. He said, let's 118 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:23.199 pop the hood and let's see what I can do. 119 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:28.360 Now again, I have some skills. Mechanical skills are not 120 00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:32.720 foremost on my list of things I can do. I 121 00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:36.839 can talk, but so I know how to open the hood. 122 00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:40.680 Pop the hood. I said, please be careful to motors hot. 123 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:42.800 I'm ben. I'm on the road now for about an hour. 124 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:48.160 He said, well, let me look, and he got the 125 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:50.480 dipstick out and he said, sure, yeah, you're down to 126 00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:54.560 a quart. I said, to you sell oil, yep, I said, 127 00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:56.839 it's synthetic oil. He says, let's look at the manual. 128 00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:00.360 Let's make sure we put the right oil in. He 129 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:04.879 found it perfect synthetic oil, exactly that the right mix. 130 00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:10.240 He came out, put two quarts in. He did all 131 00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:16.000 the work. I'm just watching and very personal young guy, 132 00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:21.600 and I tipped him. I paid for the two quarts 133 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:25.319 of oil, and I doubled up on the tip, so 134 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:27.800 I made it worth his while. We probably spent ten 135 00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:30.920 minutes and I was back on the road. Got home 136 00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:33.800 safe and sound. The next day went over to Mackenzie 137 00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:38.680 Autos all in Brighton, where I have my great friend 138 00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:43.000 John McKenzie and Tom Fay, and I got everything, got 139 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:47.480 a complete oil change. Everything was taken care of. If 140 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:52.079 you ever need a place in Brighton, Mackenzie Motors McKenzie Brothers. 141 00:07:52.720 --> 00:07:55.160 Ken has retired, John is still running the shop over 142 00:07:55.199 --> 00:08:00.319 there along with Tom. Anyway, my story is that I 143 00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:05.519 was so appreciative that that first of all, I made 144 00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.680 the right decisions. I didn't make the decision. Some force 145 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:13.240 beyond me made that decision. I was ready to keep 146 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.439 go to home, go home, but there was something inside 147 00:08:16.519 --> 00:08:19.199 me and said this is get off the get off 148 00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:22.199 the road. This guy was sitting there. I have no 149 00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:24.600 idea why he was sitting there. If he hadn't been 150 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:28.600 sitting out front, what have I walked into the gas station. Yeah, 151 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.720 I probably would have. But within a matter of a 152 00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:35.039 thirty seconds, not only did he assure me that yeah 153 00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.399 we got oil, don't worry, and I'll take care of 154 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:41.200 it for you. It was I went from high anxiety 155 00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:48.919 to and I'm so grateful to this young guy's name 156 00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:52.759 was Tony. Left in my business card. He said, if 157 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.399 I can ever be of helped you, give me a call. 158 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:58.120 You have no idea who I am, but that's my 159 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:00.320 business card. So the other radio, Yeah, I said on 160 00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:04.840 the radio Monday through Friday night. So I'm thankful for him. 161 00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:08.679 I'm thankful that that little I don't know. I call 162 00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:12.440 it a spidey sense, call it your intuition, call it 163 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:17.080 your guardian angel, whatever you want to call it made 164 00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:20.120 me make the right decisions. If I had tried to 165 00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:22.080 book it all the way home, could have I got home? 166 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:26.559 Maybe I don't know. I'll never know that I made 167 00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:30.679 the right decision. Something influenced me to make the right decision. 168 00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:36.279 You decide what it was. Okay, I want to hear 169 00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:38.840 your story. Did you have doesn't have to be this 170 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:42.039 last week? Recently? Were you in a spot somewhere where 171 00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:44.919 someone helped you? Were you in a spot where you 172 00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:51.120 help someone else? This is a tough twentieth hour, I 173 00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:54.240 make no mistake about it, but I wanted to share 174 00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:57.039 my story with you. I'd like to think that Tony 175 00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:00.879 somehow is listening some mobile station. It was in hands, 176 00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:03.399 and I'm not exactly sure it was Exit twenty seven 177 00:10:04.200 --> 00:10:09.320 off of Route three six seven, two five, four ten 178 00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:12.960 thirty six one seven nine three one ten thirty. If 179 00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:16.639 I have overreached here, it's my fault. But guess what. 180 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:22.039 I believe that each of you have a story recently, 181 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.600 if not recently, at some point a month ago where 182 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:29.559 you were in a mind and somehow, some way you 183 00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:36.360 were helped. I'm hoping, I'm hoping that there are enough 184 00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:39.279 stories out there. We could always go open lines. I 185 00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:42.759 can finish the show, but I'm hoping that my audience, 186 00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:46.720 which never never disappoints, And this is the toughest challenge 187 00:10:46.919 --> 00:10:51.519 I've ever issued on a on a Friday night, think 188 00:10:52.399 --> 00:10:55.799 did something happen to you this week?

Tell me something good that happened to 367 00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:23.319 you this week, or something good you did for someone else. 368 00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:31.119 Well, I'm this is nonscripted, as you call it, So 369 00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:35.599 guide me if I go off, okay, off our topic. 370 00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:40.119 But you know, every time I put it on the radio, 371 00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:44.480 I have to hear about Dan Ray and his teeth 372 00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:50.480 and the implants, and you know my situation, and I 373 00:20:50.519 --> 00:20:53.839 didn't do anything about it, and I ended up kind 374 00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:59.759 of eating my teeth before. But implants are very expensive. 375 00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:05.720 So so I'm kind of, you know, kind of toothless, 376 00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:11.240 as I hate tell the world. But what happened is 377 00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:15.640 last night I was with my cousin or something, and 378 00:21:16.640 --> 00:21:21.519 what happens is I already had turned down going to 379 00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:28.720 these surgeons to start, you know, cleaning things up. And 380 00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:34.359 what happened was all of a sudden this place that 381 00:21:34.680 --> 00:21:38.720 she said, well, I thought I dreamt it, but we 382 00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:44.960 so online, we made an appointment with this. There's only 383 00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:49.599 five doctors in the whole area that do the kind 384 00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:53.759 of surgery where you got to cut out infection and things, 385 00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:58.839 and they all got trained in Boston. But anyway to 386 00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:05.599 get y end point here, so online, made an appointment 387 00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:11.640 for this morning and went to this other place where 388 00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:17.759 someone specializes in extractions only you know, and will cut 389 00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:20.960 without putting me to sleep, because I don't want to 390 00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:24.759 be put to sleep. And I went there and got 391 00:22:24.759 --> 00:22:29.079 a free consultation and it was half the price, and 392 00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:33.759 you know they will. They gave me options instead of 393 00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:38.799 you know, a plan and out of the blue. So 394 00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:43.559 I'm gonna I'm planning to go ahead with it and 395 00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:45.839 let you everything out. 396 00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:49.799 Okay, well, you know, and hopefully you can get the 397 00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:56.839 whole thing taken care of. Yeah, work with the doctors. Again. 398 00:22:57.079 --> 00:22:59.319 I've never had a dad implant. I want to make 399 00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:02.480 that very clear, but I've spent some time with doctor 400 00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:05.119 sal in his office and he's a great guy. And 401 00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:08.039
