Speaker 1: It's a nice size.
Speaker 2: I'm doing you easy.
Speaker 1: Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 2: By the way, coming up tomorrow night at nine o'clock
Speaker 2: New Hampshire Governor Chris Sinunu Governor soon, who has been
Speaker 2: a guest in the last several years on Night's Side
Speaker 2: on a fairly regular basis, and tomorrow he's committed to
Speaker 2: spending an hour with us from nine to ten and
Speaker 2: he'll take as many phone calls as you want, So
Speaker 2: this is an opportunity to I think he's a true
Speaker 2: has been a terrific governor. I think he's the best
Speaker 2: governor in the country. I think he's been the best
Speaker 2: governor of the country for the entirety of his term.
Speaker 2: He has been exactly what New Hampshire needed. And we'll
Speaker 2: talk about maybe his future where he's certainly not going
Speaker 2: to be on Donald Trump's short list of cabinet nominees,
Speaker 2: that's for sure, but he maintained his integrity, which is
Speaker 2: what I admire most about Chris Sinunu, as well as
Speaker 2: his intelligence and a sense of humor. So we'll have
Speaker 2: him tomorrow night for you. This is an opportunity for
Speaker 2: you to speak with the governor of New Hampshire. Coming
Speaker 2: up on Thursday night, we will have the wc car
Speaker 2: guys from ten until twelve and ten until twelve on
Speaker 2: Friday night will be the twelfth annual night Side Charity Combine.
Speaker 2: We have some great guests lined up for that those
Speaker 2: two hours to introduce you to people do really great
Speaker 2: things and if you like to help them, you can
Speaker 2: get in contact just about every type of cause you
Speaker 2: can imagine. We will profile on Friday night, but for now,
Speaker 2: I'd like to follow up and get your reaction to
Speaker 2: the last hour with doctor Alfred Miller and doctor Robert Bransfield,
Speaker 2: two really extraordinary guests in my opinion, and I think
Speaker 2: also the first time callers Dave from Maine and Dennis
Speaker 2: from Florida. Dentist Dennis the dentist from Florida, and also
Speaker 2: good questions from Karen in Watertown, Tracy and Nashua a
Speaker 2: nurse and ed and nowan quality guests and high quality
Speaker 2: phone calls. That is what night Side at its best
Speaker 2: is what it's about. And we will continue right now
Speaker 2: with a couple of more good quality phone callers. Let
Speaker 2: me go to Danielle and Wooster. Danielle, I know you
Speaker 2: were holding on, but we ran out of time with
Speaker 2: the with the with the doctors, so you got me.
Speaker 2: That's all you got left.
Speaker 3: Going ahead, Okay, it's okay. The pressure of the high
Speaker 3: quality phone call.
Speaker 4: First, they wanted to thank the woman caller, sorry that
Speaker 4: I didn't catch her name, for kind of you know,
Speaker 4: making it clear that, hey, I have had line for years,
Speaker 4: and not everybody is silent.
Speaker 5: I think that.
Speaker 4: I mean some people, you know, perception of things. I
Speaker 4: don't always hear the whole conversation.
Speaker 2: And yeah, no, I understand. I thought that her call
Speaker 2: was very was very important. And I think that the
Speaker 2: quick agreement of the two doctors, I mean, there was
Speaker 2: no fight from the doctors.
Speaker 6: On that, and no, not at all.
Speaker 4: But I also think the doctors are owed a tremendous
Speaker 4: amount of gratitude for bringing to light, you know, lime
Speaker 4: and how understated it's been for years. I think I
Speaker 4: started to tell you the last time you had the
Speaker 4: subject on the air. Very good friend of mine, longtime neighbor,
Speaker 4: no longer a neighbor, but still a friend. Her mother
Speaker 4: died uh in twenty eleven. I believe it was of
Speaker 4: n state lime disease, but unfortunately she was diagnosed with
Speaker 4: als and by the time they realized it was Lime,
Speaker 4: that was far too late, and she unfortunately passed away.
Speaker 4: In her honor, my good friend Michelle founded the Central
Speaker 4: Mass Line Foundation, which I thought i'd give her a
Speaker 4: little plug. She's got a great Facebook group, you know,
Speaker 4: for local people. Anybody can join it, but you know,
Speaker 4: especially the local people. She does a lot of seminars
Speaker 4: and such with just unbelievably amazing information and funny. She
Speaker 4: just made a post about She shared a post from
Speaker 4: the lime dot org. I think it's site about MANJIONI
Speaker 4: is connection possibility to line just four days ago. She's
Speaker 4: tremendous and it's near and dear to her heart, and
Speaker 4: you know, because of her mom, and she's just brought
Speaker 4: so much awareness to this neck of the woods for
Speaker 4: lyme disease. She goes on, if you ever find a tick,
Speaker 4: you know to save it. And a lot of the
Speaker 4: doctors around here don't test properly. I think that your
Speaker 4: guests started to touch on that. You know, they're they're
Speaker 4: very limited their testing. So I think it's idexx Labs
Speaker 4: don't quote me on it, that will send you a
Speaker 4: pre test kit so that you can get an analyzed
Speaker 4: but I think now that was years ago.
Speaker 7: I think now.
Speaker 4: There's more people that are doing it the right way.
Speaker 4: So it's just so important that this is this is
Speaker 4: you know, broad to force into people because there's so
Speaker 4: many diagnoses out there that are turning out to not
Speaker 4: be what they what they were diagnosed. It's lime. Uh,
Speaker 4: they're linking, They're they're taking second look at Alzheimer's.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 4: My grains is just so much that well, I can
Speaker 4: tell you that.
Speaker 2: That doc that doctor Miller.
Speaker 4: Has, her last name is Miller, ironically.
Speaker 2: Ironically, Yeah, but doctor Miller, who I've now known for
Speaker 2: many years, has always emphasized me, uh, the number of
Speaker 2: uh neuro diseases, Yeah, people contract, including things like a
Speaker 2: l S and Parkinson.
Speaker 4: Do you remember the ice ice bucket challenge? Remember the
Speaker 4: ice bucket challenge?
Speaker 8: Remember the ice buckets?
Speaker 4: And uh, you know Michelle. You know there was people
Speaker 4: that are in support of Michelle and her quest here
Speaker 4: that would not participate in the ALS challenge because of
Speaker 4: the overlap and misdiagnosis between LIME and ALS. So this
Speaker 4: is going back years ago. So that's how hard she's
Speaker 4: working to bring us to foolish And so that was
Speaker 4: that was one thing I wanted to plug just really quick,
Speaker 4: so I know I'm with you know measing a lot
Speaker 4: of times. The other thing was they made mention of
Speaker 4: impulsive behavior that this you know a lot of people
Speaker 4: wake up and just do something random, and what in
Speaker 4: the heck? What were they thinking, like there's no rhyme
Speaker 4: or reason, and I don't That's the one thing about
Speaker 4: the man's the only case that kind of struck accord
Speaker 4: with me, because didn't they say that he manufactured this
Speaker 4: gun from like a three D printer.
Speaker 2: That's that's what the au.
Speaker 4: So I'm not saying that it's not really his line,
Speaker 4: but I just think this was a bit more calculated
Speaker 4: than an impulse of that. I mean, he clearly thought
Speaker 4: this though and had new well.
Speaker 2: It was very calculated because he had to be in
Speaker 2: the position outside that particular entrance to the Hilton hotel,
Speaker 2: and I think that much more is going to come out.
Speaker 2: Did was he able to get information either advertently or
Speaker 2: inadvertently from someone who could tell him where this guy
Speaker 2: was because he arrived there just a few minutes before
Speaker 2: the gentleman was walking down the street, and.
Speaker 4: He was in a perfect position, you know about that.
Speaker 2: Right, I have no idea what you're talking about in
Speaker 2: that I did. I didn't quite I was I was
Speaker 2: making a point. I didn't he want you to go ahead
Speaker 2: and make your point.
Speaker 6: I didn't.
Speaker 4: They referred to, you know, his wife and two children,
Speaker 4: but they had been separated for a year, they lived
Speaker 4: in a separate household. So I just, I mean, I'm not.
Speaker 2: Well, that is nothing to do with anything. I mean,
Speaker 2: there's no suggestion that that was involved in this. And
Speaker 2: there are a lot of families who, you know, you have,
Speaker 2: have been separated for a period of time and they
Speaker 2: get back together and then they you know, So I mean,
Speaker 2: his personal life is something that I'm I'm totally.
Speaker 9: Unaware of that.
Speaker 8: I'm not.
Speaker 4: At that did a whole thing on her. Her response
Speaker 4: to the media kind of broke it down and gave
Speaker 4: his thoughts.
Speaker 2: So I just, Danielle, look, I you know, first of all,
Speaker 2: I I have no idea how long you were married.
Speaker 2: I have no idea what the relationship was. I don't
Speaker 2: think that you know the fact that that they had
Speaker 2: had had separated, they were still married, they still had
Speaker 2: two children. You know, people deal with situations and circumstances differently,
Speaker 2: so I think that's an area that there's no reason
Speaker 2: for us to uh, you know, to spend much more
Speaker 2: time talking about that one. That's for sure in my opinion.
Speaker 2: All Right, Daniell, I'm gonna let you go. I thought
Speaker 2: you made a bunch of great points earlier in the
Speaker 2: conversation about.
Speaker 4: It's a great, great subject. I'm glad that you do it,
Speaker 4: and hopefully we can have both guests one again, because
Speaker 4: they are amazing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're tough, they're tough to get, they're not easy
Speaker 2: to get, but it happened to work, you know there.
Speaker 2: They are very solid, solid citizens. Thanks, thank you, Danielle. Well,
Speaker 2: we'll continue you our conversation. If you want to react
Speaker 2: to what doctor Al Miller and doctor Robert Brinsfeld talked
Speaker 2: about last hour about lime disease, I'd be more than
Speaker 2: happy to entertain a few more calls on that. I
Speaker 2: have Barbara, who's calling in from Connecticut. Let's keep the
Speaker 2: ball roll in six one, seven, two, five, four ten
Speaker 2: thirty six one, seven, nine, three, ten thirty. Again. I
Speaker 2: think Nightside at its best is what we did tonight.
Speaker 2: We talked earlier about the drones over America. Uh, I'm
Speaker 2: going to be very interested to find out how that
Speaker 2: works out. If you like to comment on that from earlier,
Speaker 2: you're welcome. We just had lost Barbara, who was here, Barbara,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry if you got disconnected, please call back and
Speaker 2: we will get you back on uh in priority. UH.
Speaker 2: And if you like to comment on what we talked
Speaker 2: about last hour, lime disease and whether or not that
Speaker 2: might have had an impact on this, uh, this fellow
Speaker 2: who I cont some much sympathy for Luigi Manzioni, and
Speaker 2: I don't want anyone to think that, uh, that that
Speaker 2: there was any sympathy here for him, uh, because there
Speaker 2: are other reasons that. I mean, what he did was
Speaker 2: just reprehensible. Barbara and Connecticut love to have you back.
Speaker 2: You were held it, you held on for a long time.
Speaker 2: I apologize it and get to you. Six one seven
Speaker 2: two five four ten thirty six's seven nine three six
Speaker 2: on't seven nine three one ten thirty coming right back on.
Speaker 1: Nightside now back to Dan ray Line from the Window
Speaker 1: World Nightside Studios on WITBZ News Radio.
Speaker 2: By the way, I just wanted to mention that doctor
Speaker 2: Bransfield is working on a piece he told me for
Speaker 2: the Wall Street Journal. So if your journal readers, you
Speaker 2: may want to look at that when it's published. Uh.
Speaker 2: He is a prolific writer and you can find just
Speaker 2: google him in you get more information from him. Also,
Speaker 2: you can google doctor Miller, and many of my listeners
Speaker 2: have reached out to doctor Alfred Miller. It's doctor al Miller.
Speaker 2: Just a one word at gmail dot com. I just
Speaker 2: had someone was kind enough to leave me a message
Speaker 2: about the passing of a dear friend of mine, a
Speaker 2: lawyer here in Boston. I'm not going to mention it
Speaker 2: on the air. I'll wait, I guess, and see it
Speaker 2: in the obituaries tomorrow. But boy, it's tough when there
Speaker 2: are people who at one point in your life were
Speaker 2: very important and they might have helped you along the road,
Speaker 2: whether it's in your career or in your personal life.
Speaker 2: And sometimes they're you know, ten or fifteen or twenty
Speaker 2: years older than you. And so we say, no one
Speaker 2: gets out of this place alive. Let me go next
Speaker 2: to Tim in Wooburn. Tim, welcome back. How are you, sir?
Speaker 5: I'm good, Dan, how are you? I never knew much
Speaker 5: about lime disease, but I know now after listening to
Speaker 5: this these two doctors, you know I.
Speaker 2: Just think they're extraordinary guests. And I got to tell you,
Speaker 2: Al Miller has been a friend of mine for several
Speaker 2: years and we talked a couple of times over the
Speaker 2: weekend and he was the one who suggested Doctor Brandsfield
Speaker 2: and they were both great. I'm so proud of that hour. Uh,
Speaker 2: you know, you pull that hour together. I'm proud of
Speaker 2: the show tonight. And that's what's you know there earlier.
Speaker 5: Night when it was great. I loved it.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, Tim, I appreciate that.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Tim called on Friday night and told the world
Speaker 2: that he hadn't received this coffee mic. He won a
Speaker 2: mug here on nightside from our friends at College Hype,
Speaker 2: and I said, you know, Tim, I'm sure it's on
Speaker 2: the way, And he was kind enough to call me
Speaker 2: on Saturday morning and send me a message on Saturday
Speaker 2: morning that the mug had arrived. And I hope that
Speaker 2: you've enjoyed the mug. It's it's a good dark blue,
Speaker 2: kind of like a cobalt blue blue cover.
Speaker 5: And yeah, it says it's navy. And also right as
Speaker 5: I was the shipping I have the packing slip right
Speaker 5: in my hand. It's a ship date December sixteenth. I
Speaker 5: would I received it the fourteenth.

Speaker 5: was great.
Speaker 2: No, No, it wasn't. It wasn't shipped on December sixteenth.
Speaker 2: December sixteenth is uh what uh sixteenth was is today today?

Speaker 2: Good night. Let me go next to up Charlotte in Connecticut. Charlotte, welcome.
Speaker 2: How are you tonight?
Speaker 7: Hi, good evening, Dan, how are you?
Speaker 5: I thank you?
Speaker 7: And this is the doctors, but I'm catching the last
Speaker 7: hour of your show. I have suffered many times from
Speaker 7: blame disease, and the last time was for a sixteen
Speaker 7: day stay at the hospital. People don't understand that it
Speaker 7: is a paralyzing neurological bugger, A little bugger.
Speaker 5: Yeah, who I know.
Speaker 2: Who literally have had their lives upended. I mean everybody understands. You.
Speaker 2: You hear about someone who's in a bad car crash,
Speaker 2: or I've heard about your friends of mine who worked
Speaker 2: as roofers or they fell off a roof, and you
Speaker 2: understand that. But when you think about this little tick
Speaker 2: bite someone And I know I have one friend of
Speaker 2: mine who was virtually debilitated. She traced it to lime disease,
Speaker 2: and her dad was a well known doctor in Boston
Speaker 2: and trying to get her some relief from it, and
Speaker 2: it plagued her for twenty years. So it's been around
Speaker 2: a while and your story is gone alone. Charlotte, How
Speaker 2: is it that you've been so many times? Are you
Speaker 2: a god?
Speaker 7: I live in Connecticut. I live in East Lime one
Speaker 7: Tunnel Wine, which is the originator of London.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yeah, I have been to East Line, Connecticut, by
Speaker 2: the way, it's a beautiful part of the state.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 7: People don't understand that there are eighteen different species of
Speaker 7: lime disease. So if you go in and you have
Speaker 7: the symptoms and they tell you you don't have it,
Speaker 7: there's a lot of false negatives which would actually positives.
Speaker 2: Right, You're absolutely right, and I hope that tomorrow you
Speaker 2: take the time to listen to the Hour at ten
Speaker 2: o'clock with doctor Miller and doctor Bransfield. You you. Doctor
Speaker 2: Miller made the exact point that sometimes if they test
Speaker 2: you for the wrong type of and he used to
Speaker 2: figure eighteen types of lime disease, and if they test
Speaker 2: you for the wrong type of lime disease, you're going
Speaker 2: to get a negative result. IM going to do tomorrow's
Speaker 2: go to Nightside on demand dot com and just look
Speaker 2: for the tenant for the ten o'clock hour, which is
Speaker 2: going to be very obvious you will enjoy it. My
Speaker 2: question to you is, obviously there's ways in which you
Speaker 2: can prevent line disease, particularly if you live in like
Speaker 2: a place like East Line, Connecticut. There are some sprays
Speaker 2: that you can use. There are some ways to make
Speaker 2: sure that if you're out in a cart, particularly when
Speaker 2: they're when they're active, make sure that the body of
Speaker 2: either your pants or your sleeves or tied tightly. And
Speaker 2: obviously when you get back in the house, you want
Speaker 2: to make sure you particularly if you've.
Speaker 5: Been water right.
Speaker 7: So I guard and go to the beach a lot,
Speaker 7: and ticks hang out also at the beach. They cannot
Speaker 7: fly through the air, they can be on those bushes.
Speaker 8: Whatever.
Speaker 7: What I wanted to say is my memory is shot.
Speaker 7: That was one of the things I wanted to talk about.
Speaker 7: I'm going through a euro test next week with my PCP.
Speaker 7: Because of this, I tire quite easily. I'm sixty too young.
Speaker 7: My memory is shot. I have a long term which
Speaker 7: is yeah, it's scary, it's real.
Speaker 2: It's sixty two. You're a young person, I know.
Speaker 7: But to feel this way at sixty two. It it
Speaker 7: is quite scary, but yes, I do as you say.
Speaker 7: I go outside to garden, I wear my wellies. I
Speaker 7: wear my my black wellies. I walk the dog, I
Speaker 7: wear my black wellies. I go to the beach, I
Speaker 7: spray my tanning lotion on and then I spray with
Speaker 7: bug spray. And again, I've learned very numerous ways to
Speaker 7: be preventative. My husband and I spot each other we
Speaker 7: come back from the beach, and these little buggers like
Speaker 7: to hide where it's moist, pits, knees, ears, wherever you're.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and literally.
Speaker 2: Believe that between your toes specific you have to be so.
Speaker 2: But just again, it can, it can change your life.
Speaker 2: Some people could be by lime tick and have no
Speaker 2: impact from what I understand.
Speaker 7: My understanding is that thirty, yeah, thirty percent of people
Speaker 7: that do get bit will not have a symptom as
Speaker 7: the bullseye. And I've had both. I've had, I've had
Speaker 7: no showing of a mark and the last time.
Speaker 8: I had it.
Speaker 2: But even people who are who are a bit from
Speaker 2: what I understand, by active you know ticks that have
Speaker 2: the brillia, as doctor Miller would say, yea, and somehow
Speaker 2: this system is immune from it. Look, there are people
Speaker 2: who get struck by lightning and die, and the people
Speaker 2: get struck by lightning and get up and and walk away.
Speaker 2: So yeah, you have to just look out, you know,
Speaker 2: for yourself.
Speaker 7: And I tell people, yeah to when your kids are outside,
Speaker 7: put a blanket down on the grass. Please check your children.
Speaker 7: These even if you're in Maine or if you New
Speaker 7: Hampshire wherever, they are now everywhere.
Speaker 5: They're on.
Speaker 7: Everywhere England, so you know, you get to think twice
Speaker 7: about going outside.
Speaker 6: You'd be safe.
Speaker 7: But I appreciate your time in addressing this very concerning illness,
Speaker 7: which is well Charlotte.
Speaker 2: If you have any time tomorrow, just go to Nights
Speaker 2: On and Demand. We put all of our hours up
Speaker 2: in podcast form. You got to listen to a few ads,
Speaker 2: but it's well worth it to listen to.
Speaker 7: It's always nice to learn more, to educate yourself more
Speaker 7: in this because it seems that it's a very progressive illness.
Speaker 2: And a little before you go, let me ask you
Speaker 2: have you called my show before?
Speaker 9: No, I have called.
Speaker 7: I have called in the past. It was many years ago.
Speaker 7: I think it was eighteen. I was living in New Hampshire,
Speaker 7: but in eighteen we had talked and so I'm not
Speaker 7: a first time caller, but I am a big time listener.
Speaker 6: How's that?
Speaker 2: Well, thank you very much. I hope you become a
Speaker 2: regular caller. Okay, thank you.
Speaker 8: Sure.
Speaker 7: I wish you and your family and merry Christmas.
Speaker 2: And happy right back right back at you all. Thanks
Speaker 2: so much, talk soon, all right? We got the eleventh
Speaker 2: the News at eleven thirty coming up, and then we'll
Speaker 2: get to more calls. I would love to continue to
Speaker 2: talk about your experience with lime disease, because we had
Speaker 2: really a uh an important hour, that's the best way
Speaker 2: to describe it. And if you missed it, I hope
Speaker 2: you'll listen to it tomorrow on Nightside and demand if
Speaker 2: you liked. If you if we're done on lime disease
Speaker 2: and you want to talk about another topic, I'll give
Speaker 2: you a little an open line opportunity as well. I
Speaker 2: just think there's not much I can do to top
Speaker 2: where doctor Al Miller and doctor Robert Bransfeld contributed. Brands Field,
Speaker 2: excuse me, contributed to our audience last hour. But feel
Speaker 2: free your experience is a very important six one, seven, two, five,
Speaker 2: four to ten thirty and six one, seven, nine, three,
Speaker 2: ten thirty, and so they said tomorrow night at nine
Speaker 2: o'clock New Hampshire Governor Chris Soon, who probably won't be
Speaker 2: his last time here on nights Side. Hopefully he'll be
Speaker 2: a guest even after he leaves the Governor's Office in
Speaker 2: New Hampshire. So fill up the lines. I got some
Speaker 2: open lines. Let's have at it. It's a Monday night.
Speaker 2: We're moving into the Christmas Hanukkah Kwansa season. I'd like
Speaker 2: to be specific. If you want to wish me a
Speaker 2: merry Christmas. I would appreciate it. Back on Nightside, right
Speaker 2: after the news, a little bit late, but here it comes.
Speaker 3: It's night Side with.
Speaker 1: Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2: All right. As I was saying, news is over, let's
Speaker 2: go back to the calls, the lines are quiet. I'd
Speaker 2: love to know get your reaction to the last hour.
Speaker 2: You want more programming like that or less programming like that?
Speaker 2: I thought it was a great hour, a lot of information,
Speaker 2: something that can apply to literally everyone who's listening. Let
Speaker 2: me go to Gary in Wuburn, Gary next on Nightsaga.
Speaker 6: Right ahead, Dan, do you want me to hang up?
Speaker 6: I didn't want to talk about wine disease.
Speaker 2: No talk about it. I said, it's open. You can
Speaker 2: talk what you want to talk about.
Speaker 6: Go right ahead, thank you, dear uh Sonno, uh, he's
Speaker 6: not gonna be covering anymore. What's he gonna be doing next.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna find out tomorrow night.
Speaker 8: You don't know.
Speaker 6: I think you're talking with him all the time.
Speaker 2: I do, I do, But I think that I never
Speaker 2: asked him, you know, to tell me, And I thought
Speaker 2: I'd wait until tomorrow night.
Speaker 6: Okay, question, what are you doing on your Christmas r K?
Speaker 2: I tend to stay in the in the area. A
Speaker 2: lot of people like to run, you know, get out
Speaker 2: of town. But I love Christmas. I suspect you probably
Speaker 2: do as well.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 2: And I spend time kind of looking back on the year,
Speaker 2: kind of trying to pull my my thoughts together and
Speaker 2: get ready for the next uh, for the next year,
Speaker 2: which will come at us very quickly. I love Christmas.
Speaker 2: I love the run up to Christmas, and I also
Speaker 2: loved the few days after Christmas where you can kind
Speaker 2: of kick back and you have nothing to do. Who
Speaker 2: I'm not the most exciting guy in the world. Gary,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. I mean, other people say no,
Speaker 2: I'm going to fly to a rube or and spend
Speaker 2: If not me, that's the last time. What are you
Speaker 2: doing over Christmas?
Speaker 6: Well, I'm a very boring guy. As a single guy,
Speaker 6: I do have family and so forth. But you know,
Speaker 6: I've been in a few homes o brothers that invite
Speaker 6: me out with their wives dinner and so forth, and
Speaker 6: be with all the grandkids and casting out presents. And
Speaker 6: I'm among the family, of course, But I my son,
Speaker 6: I'm alone again. I've always loved to be alone. One
Speaker 6: of my favorite things to do in life is just
Speaker 6: jumping my recline to chair, like a lot of people
Speaker 6: who are listening, throw on your blanket and listen to
Speaker 6: Night's Side and fall asleep and listen at the same
Speaker 6: time and to the night just listening to music and
Speaker 6: being in my recliner. How about you.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's relaxing. Many people will tell me, oh,
Speaker 2: I listen to night Side or go to sleep, and
Speaker 2: it's like everyone will say, but I leave the radio on,
Speaker 2: which is fine with me. Whatever however they whatever they
Speaker 2: want to do, is fine with me. I just think
Speaker 2: that that week between Christmas and New Year's I'm not
Speaker 2: a New Year's Eve guy, I was when I was
Speaker 2: single many years ago. Okay, but and when I was
Speaker 2: in TV, I covered many of the New Year's Eve
Speaker 2: first night celebrations. I covered some of the first First
Speaker 2: Night celebrations back in the seventies. A lot of fun
Speaker 2: and all of that. But as you get a little older,
Speaker 2: you realize that, hey, I can enjoy You know. The
Speaker 2: other thing too, that for me is great, at least
Speaker 2: during Christmas vacation. I'd love to know what other people
Speaker 2: think about it is I get to catch up on
Speaker 2: my sports a little bit. Because one of the things
Speaker 2: about working eight to midnight is I'll miss this Bruins
Speaker 2: game or missed that Celtics game. I can kick back
Speaker 2: and see the college bowl games. I just think it's
Speaker 2: a great time of year to to like you. I mean,
Speaker 2: it sounds like that. You know, you stick with your
Speaker 2: family and that's that's about. That's all the excitement I need.
Speaker 6: I had a thing, a suggestion to you, but you
Speaker 6: kind of shot it down a couple months ago. But
Speaker 6: let I throw it right back before I go. You know,
Speaker 6: you got your final hour. You talk about the famous
Speaker 6: celebrities and so forth, which is awesome. How about this?
Speaker 6: I already proposed this, yere I think, I don't think
Speaker 6: it's dumb, but you really did shoot it down almost
Speaker 6: felt made me feel kind of foolish. But what is
Speaker 6: your go to song in life? To listen to older
Speaker 6: younger country music rockt it? What's your go to song
Speaker 6: that makes you feel good? We listened to the radio
Speaker 6: all the time. I mean, which song makes you sing
Speaker 6: all the time? For your song E've been singing like
Speaker 6: for fifty years? Like I'm a Bobby Vinton guy. There
Speaker 6: I said it again. The Benach City of you rolla
Speaker 6: is Saturday night you catch my drift?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're a music guy. There's a lot of people
Speaker 2: who probably don't have a specific song for me at
Speaker 2: Christmas time, it's you know all I want for Christmas?
Speaker 2: The Mariah Carey song is a great song during other
Speaker 2: times of the year for being swilly, nell and on
Speaker 2: the road again, I mean, because that's one I can
Speaker 2: actually remember the lyrics to. I have a tough time
Speaker 2: either understanding the lyrics on some songs these at these days,
Speaker 2: But yeah, I might do.
Speaker 6: How about Billie sa Christmas has time to say I
Speaker 6: love you?
Speaker 2: Not familiar with that one.
Speaker 6: Well, you're playing commercials and I'll be listening.
Speaker 2: I'm not a big music guy, so that's why. But
Speaker 2: somenight i'll do that. As a matter of fact, I
Speaker 2: can't do it this Friday night because we're doing the
Speaker 2: charity combine. But I'll make it as a new Year's
Speaker 2: resolution if you will remind me like Wednesday or Thursday,
Speaker 2: because I don't decide on the twentieth hour until you
Speaker 2: know Wednesday or Thursday. I like the brushes with celebrity
Speaker 2: because it's always worked well, and people tell stories about
Speaker 2: meeting people who you know are famous or semi famous,
Speaker 2: and it's fun to listen about the people who treat
Speaker 2: them well. And maybe it's also fun or to hear
Speaker 2: the people that don't treat him well. But I we
Speaker 2: we we push our topics around, that's for sure. Hey, Gary,

Speaker 9: Merry Christmas, Dan.
Speaker 2: Merry Christmas to you and many many more.
Speaker 9: Joe, thank you. I'd like to talk about two things.
Speaker 9: What did you think about too great baseball players dieing
Speaker 9: this year? Willie Mays and Pete Rose.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it seems every year that we lose
Speaker 2: a couple of them, if not hall of famers. Certainly,
Speaker 2: Willie Mays was a Hall of Famer and Pete Rose
Speaker 2: probably should eventually be in the Hall of Fame. Despite
Speaker 2: so of the controversy that surrounded his career all time leader,
Speaker 2: what four thousand hits? I think there's one other player
Speaker 2: who maybe is even close to that.
Speaker 9: But yeah, I saw Willie Mays playing Candlestick Park around
Speaker 9: sixty sixty nine and Don Sudden pitched a one hitter.
Speaker 9: And I also saw the game you saw Jim Bunning
Speaker 9: pitching a no hitter, atin way.
Speaker 2: Did you realize that was in That was in July
Speaker 2: of fifty eighth.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm two years older than you.
Speaker 8: Dan.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this. Do you remember who made
Speaker 2: the final out and the Jim Bunning no hitter? And
Speaker 2: of course Bunning through a no hitter in the National
Speaker 2: League too for the Phillies. Do you know who made
Speaker 2: the final out against Bunning.
Speaker 9: That day that afternoon, Ted Williams.
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, flyball to al k Line.
Speaker 9: No, I remember that you told me that before.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, that's okay. And one other thing I saw
Speaker 2: one other one other no here at Fenway Park when
Speaker 2: Dave moorehead beat Jones September sixteenth, nineteen sixty five. Those
Speaker 2: dates get emblazoned in your mind when you see a
Speaker 2: no hitter, because and that was a game. I think
Speaker 2: The official attendance was twelve hundred people that day.
Speaker 9: Joe and Pete rose. How many times did he get
Speaker 9: over two hundred hits a season? He set a record
Speaker 9: for that.
Speaker 2: You had to head a lot of times. Hey, Joe,
Speaker 2: I got one more. I got to sneak in. I
Speaker 2: just want to wish you happy Merry Christmas and we
Speaker 2: will talk soon in the new year.
Speaker 9: Okay, Yeah, I hope you live fifty more years. Dan,
