WEBVTT

1
00:00:01.120 --> 00:00:06.120
<v Speaker 1>It's Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Boston's Radio.

2
00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:09.240
<v Speaker 2>All right. We have reached the end of another week

3
00:00:09.279 --> 00:00:11.560
<v Speaker 2>here on Nightside. It is Friday night, and I gotta

4
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:15.599
<v Speaker 2>tell you it has been a tough week, a long week,

5
00:00:15.720 --> 00:00:19.559
<v Speaker 2>and we will take a couple of days and rest

6
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:25.719
<v Speaker 2>and relax. It's the subjects we covered this week, a

7
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:31.039
<v Speaker 2>lot of them were tough. I'm not going to go

8
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:33.799
<v Speaker 2>over everything we cover this week, just going to hit

9
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:36.560
<v Speaker 2>some of the highlights. Normally I will tell you about

10
00:00:36.560 --> 00:00:38.799
<v Speaker 2>the eight o'clock hours. The one I do want to

11
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:42.920
<v Speaker 2>mention is the Mike Timlin event tomorrow on in Hopkins

12
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:46.960
<v Speaker 2>in the former Red Sox relief pitcher. This full world

13
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:49.679
<v Speaker 2>series rings great guy in a great interview on Wednesday night,

14
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:55.439
<v Speaker 2>talked with him about his effort to do the twenty

15
00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:00.439
<v Speaker 2>second annual event in honor of his mom. Asked away

16
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:04.920
<v Speaker 2>from a als that's at Hopkin in High School tomorrow morning.

17
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.200
<v Speaker 2>It's a great time at a great event, and I hope,

18
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:09.959
<v Speaker 2>I hope you take an opportunity to get out there,

19
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:13.000
<v Speaker 2>particularly if you live in anywhere in that area. We

20
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:17.040
<v Speaker 2>dealt with a lot of different issues. As we're just

21
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:19.359
<v Speaker 2>hitting on some of the bigger issues. We talked about

22
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:25.599
<v Speaker 2>the judge Shelley Joseph hearing in front of the Judicial Commission,

23
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Massachusetts Judicial Commission here in Massafona, here in the Bay State.

24
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:35.280
<v Speaker 2>Talked about the LA riots on Monday night. Tuesday night,

25
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:37.920
<v Speaker 2>talked about mass and casts for a couple of hours

26
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:42.000
<v Speaker 2>that situation has not gotten any better, that's for sure.

27
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:46.239
<v Speaker 2>Talked about more reaction to the LA riots as well.

28
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:50.359
<v Speaker 2>Then on Wednesday night, we talked with a representative of

29
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:54.840
<v Speaker 2>the Pioneer Institute about the fact that our situation in

30
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:59.879
<v Speaker 2>Massachusetts economically, for the macro economic perspective, is not great

31
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:04.359
<v Speaker 2>and it has not gotten better in our recent years.

32
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.439
<v Speaker 2>We have falling behind other states. You can read that

33
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:11.759
<v Speaker 2>Pioneer Institute article. We talked with Dave Paleologus, the Great Poster,

34
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:15.919
<v Speaker 2>about a poll that he has taken here in Massachusetts,

35
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Rhode Island, and New Hampshire and found that not only

36
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:24.719
<v Speaker 2>has Donald Trump's popularity diminished, but Democrats also their popularity

37
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.800
<v Speaker 2>is diminished. So maybe people are getting just tired of politicians.

38
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:31.479
<v Speaker 2>We talked with Scott Kerman. He wrote a book about

39
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:35.960
<v Speaker 2>Mike Dukaucus, former governor of Massachusetts and presidential candidate called

40
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.719
<v Speaker 2>the Duke. And then last night we talked with the

41
00:02:39.759 --> 00:02:43.319
<v Speaker 2>shorty Phil Cracy about Phil Tracy, about the Karen Reid case.

42
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:45.080
<v Speaker 2>We talked to that for a couple of hours. Also

43
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.840
<v Speaker 2>then broke off and talked about Israel, and both of

44
00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:51.879
<v Speaker 2>those subjects what we spent most of tonight talking about. So,

45
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:54.199
<v Speaker 2>without any further ado, I would like to get to

46
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:59.719
<v Speaker 2>our twentieth hour topic tonight. Look, today is Friday, the

47
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.840
<v Speaker 2>third tee. I could easily do I use superstitious, but

48
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:04.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to do that. I want to give

49
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:07.879
<v Speaker 2>you a chance to salute your favorite father. I say

50
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:11.319
<v Speaker 2>favorite father, I really mean your favorite dad. It might

51
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:15.960
<v Speaker 2>be your own dad living or passed on, or it

52
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 2>could be your father in law. It could be if

53
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:26.560
<v Speaker 2>you have a son who is now has children of

54
00:03:26.599 --> 00:03:30.159
<v Speaker 2>his own. It could be a favorite aunt. It could

55
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:34.240
<v Speaker 2>be a favorite uncle, excuse me, a favorite uncle who

56
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:38.240
<v Speaker 2>you feel particularly close to. The good part about this is,

57
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.599
<v Speaker 2>as you know, everything on Nightside is placed up on

58
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:47.879
<v Speaker 2>Nightside and demand that is our podcast website, I guess

59
00:03:47.879 --> 00:03:51.240
<v Speaker 2>for lack of a better term, and you can go there.

60
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:56.319
<v Speaker 2>Rob will have tonight's programs posted. Tonight's hours posted sometime

61
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.800
<v Speaker 2>probably by two or three o'clock this morning, before Rob

62
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.960
<v Speaker 2>goes home for a well deserved rest. Rob was off

63
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:03.759
<v Speaker 2>a couple of days this weekend, but he's kind of

64
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.680
<v Speaker 2>had a tough week too, so we hope he gets

65
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:10.879
<v Speaker 2>some good rest this weekend. And the good thing about

66
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:14.960
<v Speaker 2>it is you can actually anytime tomorrow or Sunday on

67
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Father's Day, play your tribute to your favorite father. Simil

68
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:22.439
<v Speaker 2>as that. So I'm going to open up the lines,

69
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:25.879
<v Speaker 2>and I know what happens often here is that everybody

70
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:28.519
<v Speaker 2>waits and then finally they get some courage up and

71
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:32.839
<v Speaker 2>they're calling at eleven forty five. Please don't do that.

72
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Give you time to talk about your favorite father. All

73
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.199
<v Speaker 2>of us only have well most of us only have

74
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:44.839
<v Speaker 2>one father. Some of us have more. Some children have

75
00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:47.000
<v Speaker 2>a dad who passes away and they have a stepdad

76
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:51.120
<v Speaker 2>or whatever, so whomever it might be, I had one

77
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:57.360
<v Speaker 2>dad who was a dad who grew up during the Depression,

78
00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.680
<v Speaker 2>fought in World War Two. It was prett He's tough dad.

79
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Kind of the nineteen fifties, not the nineteen fifties. Robert

80
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.720
<v Speaker 2>young father knows best, but you know, kind of, hey,

81
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:11.319
<v Speaker 2>this is what you got to do and you got

82
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.720
<v Speaker 2>to do it this way. But through it all, whatever

83
00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:17.560
<v Speaker 2>disagreements we might have had, and we did have some,

84
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:22.079
<v Speaker 2>I knew that he loved me and my brother. It

85
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:24.920
<v Speaker 2>was a little bit of tough love in there, but

86
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:30.319
<v Speaker 2>that's what you know. Different different people have different experiences.

87
00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:34.399
<v Speaker 2>So he hopefully is in a much better place. He

88
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:39.800
<v Speaker 2>passed away in the year two thousand, lived a long life,

89
00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:46.240
<v Speaker 2>grew up poor, went off to war, married and raised

90
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.800
<v Speaker 2>a family, and always provided for the family. And again,

91
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:52.240
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't sort of what you would call your touchy

92
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:56.040
<v Speaker 2>feely give me a hugs on dad, But he was

93
00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:58.519
<v Speaker 2>a dad who nonetheless by his actions, you knew that

94
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:02.480
<v Speaker 2>he loved his family and loved his children. So that's

95
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:06.480
<v Speaker 2>my tribute to my favorite father. Six one seven, two, five,

96
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:09.399
<v Speaker 2>four to ten thirty triple eight nine two nine ten

97
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:13.040
<v Speaker 2>thirty or six one, seven, nine three one ten thirty.

98
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:15.560
<v Speaker 2>Let's get it going after the break. I want to

99
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:21.480
<v Speaker 2>hear from men and women on this. Sometimes it's easy

100
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:25.920
<v Speaker 2>to talk about the moms, particularly the moms of a

101
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:30.759
<v Speaker 2>certain generation, because they were the kinder gentler, in many cases,

102
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:36.160
<v Speaker 2>the kinder gentler partner in the relationship but I want

103
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:39.240
<v Speaker 2>to devote this to Father's Day, so your favorite father,

104
00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:41.839
<v Speaker 2>whomever that might be. I'm going to take a very

105
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:43.839
<v Speaker 2>quick break and I'll be right back. If you have

106
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.720
<v Speaker 2>called this week already, you know everybody gets a hall

107
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:50.000
<v Speaker 2>pass in the twentieth hour, and that's my thought tonight.

108
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:55.560
<v Speaker 2>I could have done superstits Friday the thirteenth, superstitions, but yeah,

109
00:06:55.920 --> 00:06:59.720
<v Speaker 2>we're doing Father's Day, and I know you will not

110
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:03.959
<v Speaker 2>just point and as they say, if your dad, if

111
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:06.680
<v Speaker 2>you have the good fortune, if your dad's still being alive,

112
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:08.920
<v Speaker 2>you can do a tribute tonight and you can then

113
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:12.680
<v Speaker 2>play that tribute over the weekend for your dad and

114
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.319
<v Speaker 2>he can listen to your voice. Who knows, maybe he's

115
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.560
<v Speaker 2>listening to the show right now. We'll be back on

116
00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:21.240
<v Speaker 2>Nightside right after this is a quick break, coming right back.

117
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:28.920
<v Speaker 1>You're on night Side with Dan Ray. I'm Boston's News Radio.

118
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:31.040
<v Speaker 2>The Red Sox were lucky tonight. They won two to

119
00:07:31.079 --> 00:07:34.160
<v Speaker 2>one in extra innings, so they had a good Friday

120
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:36.560
<v Speaker 2>the thirteenth, and they have two more games with the

121
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:38.959
<v Speaker 2>New York Yankees at Fenway Park over the weekend. It

122
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:42.240
<v Speaker 2>looks as if the weather's going to work and hopefully

123
00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:44.040
<v Speaker 2>it even looks as if the weather will work for

124
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:45.959
<v Speaker 2>all of us this weekend. That is going to be

125
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.759
<v Speaker 2>a nice day on Sunday and tomorrow the second half

126
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:52.959
<v Speaker 2>of the day will be fine. So we're we're going

127
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:54.879
<v Speaker 2>into a weekend. This might be the best weekend to

128
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:56.879
<v Speaker 2>have had it around these parts in a long time.

129
00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:00.519
<v Speaker 2>So your favorite father, let's keep rolling here. Assume in

130

00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:17.759
<v Speaker 3>She used to chase me around the house with a

152
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:19.320
<v Speaker 3>wet towel, hit me with.

153
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:25.279
<v Speaker 2>A yeah, okay, okay, okay, I got that. So yeah,

154
00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:31.200
<v Speaker 2>this this gym teacher and wrestling coach, mister keataizau Zolo.

155
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Good good, good good. I didn't realize that you were

156
00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:37.559
<v Speaker 2>a wrestler. Glenn.

157
00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:43.200
<v Speaker 3>Well, that's another thing. My stepmother called the director of Perkins,

158
00:09:43.200 --> 00:09:45.559
<v Speaker 3>Benjamin Smith, and told him to kick me off the

159
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:47.960
<v Speaker 3>team because I was going to beat my dad up.

160
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.720
<v Speaker 3>If he gave me an order, I wouldn't do it, which.

161
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:51.120
<v Speaker 2>Is not true.

162
00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:54.600
<v Speaker 3>But I got kicked I actually got kicked off the

163
00:09:55.279 --> 00:09:58.480
<v Speaker 3>principle of Perkins. I mean that he was an appeaser.

164
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:00.480
<v Speaker 3>Now he worked. He knew my dad before I was

165
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:04.679
<v Speaker 3>born in the forties, so you know, anything that he

166
00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:07.399
<v Speaker 3>was told to do, he kept the peace. I crossed

167
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:08.600
<v Speaker 3>Perkins five points.

168
00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:15.279
<v Speaker 2>They forfeited, Okay, Glenn, this I'm looking for some upbeat stories.

169
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:17.639
<v Speaker 2>This is not an upbeat story. But you did find

170
00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:22.440
<v Speaker 2>a male who served as a role model for you

171
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:27.879
<v Speaker 2>in your life, and that, I mean, yeah, that's important.

172
00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:30.080
<v Speaker 3>He wouldn't do this today, but back in sixty eight

173
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:33.039
<v Speaker 3>when I was fifteen, he invited me to his apartment

174
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.559
<v Speaker 3>one Sunday night and gave me coffee and cigarettes. Now

175
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:37.600
<v Speaker 3>I know that was before the you know.

176
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:41.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, I get it, I totally get it, all right, Glenn. Well,

177
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:43.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry that things didn't work out with your dad,

178
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:49.759
<v Speaker 2>but and you have I wish there was something I

179
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:52.120
<v Speaker 2>could say to make it right. I can't. Well, I'm

180
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:56.080
<v Speaker 2>happy that there was someone in your life who served

181
00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:59.039
<v Speaker 2>as a male role model for you. And sounds like

182
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:01.759
<v Speaker 2>you're wrestling coach and Jim Teacher was a really good

183
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:02.360
<v Speaker 2>role model.

184
00:11:02.600 --> 00:11:03.000
<v Speaker 4>Thank you.

185
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:07.080
<v Speaker 3>Very quickly, after my stepmother died of lukemia, my dad

186
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:11.039
<v Speaker 3>cried on my shoulder and apologized. He says, I wasn't

187
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:15.240
<v Speaker 3>she made me. You know she was not, and you

188
00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:16.200
<v Speaker 3>were right about her.

189
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well again, I want to be a little more positive,

190
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:21.639
<v Speaker 2>So I think we're going to move on here.

191
00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:23.799
<v Speaker 3>You know, I'm sorry I'm not trying to bring it down.

192
00:11:23.840 --> 00:11:26.399
<v Speaker 2>I'm just no, no, no, no no. But I'm just saying,

193
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:29.240
<v Speaker 2>you've been through a lot, my friend, and I thank

194
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:32.120
<v Speaker 2>you for sharing because I think what a lot of

195
00:11:32.159 --> 00:11:35.399
<v Speaker 2>people say, Gee, maybe maybe my dad had a flaw

196
00:11:35.480 --> 00:11:39.559
<v Speaker 2>here or there, but Glenn had a tough he was

197
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:41.480
<v Speaker 2>dealt a tough card. Let's put it like that. Have

198
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:43.440
<v Speaker 2>a good weekend, pal, we'll talk so him. Thank you

199
00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.039
<v Speaker 2>very much. Let me go to Ron Ron, your dad.

200
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk about your favorite father.

201
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:49.440
<v Speaker 5>Hi.

202
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:54.480
<v Speaker 6>Dan, my dad's name is Bob uh and he continues

203
00:11:54.559 --> 00:12:01.360
<v Speaker 6>to inspire me at ninety years old. Believable. He's still

204
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:05.080
<v Speaker 6>his work ethic. He still goes into the office periodically.

205
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:07.960
<v Speaker 6>I'll call it home and say his dad there, and

206
00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:13.639
<v Speaker 6>you know he's gone to the office. Amazing. He directed

207
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:19.120
<v Speaker 6>a choir for fifty years. It really helped us become

208
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:26.159
<v Speaker 6>musicians at a certain time. Started a company from scratch

209
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:30.639
<v Speaker 6>because he hadn't do when there were still sixth of

210
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:36.200
<v Speaker 6>the eight of us there. And talk about confidence, he

211
00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:40.639
<v Speaker 6>always gave me the mindset that there isn't anything that

212
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:42.919
<v Speaker 6>you can't do if you set your mind to it.

213
00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:48.919
<v Speaker 6>And his famous statement that I'll never forget is regardless

214
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:51.399
<v Speaker 6>of what I was doing, going to take an exam

215
00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:56.679
<v Speaker 6>or whatever. He would say, Ron, just do your best.

216
00:12:57.720 --> 00:13:01.720
<v Speaker 6>And somehow I felt that, you know, a good deal

217
00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:05.000
<v Speaker 6>of relief as I went off to do whatever I

218
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:05.639
<v Speaker 6>need to do.

219
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:10.679
<v Speaker 2>Well. I think I think that it is I think

220
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:13.639
<v Speaker 2>I think at this day and age, there's a lot

221
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:18.399
<v Speaker 2>of dads and who put pressure on their kids. And uh, yeah,

222
00:13:18.840 --> 00:13:23.639
<v Speaker 2>I think that it's it's important to realize that and

223
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:26.679
<v Speaker 2>and this is something that hey, you know, I should

224
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:30.879
<v Speaker 2>have been done a better job at that. Every child

225
00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:36.480
<v Speaker 2>has different abilities and different gifts and sometimes, uh, you know,

226
00:13:36.559 --> 00:13:38.799
<v Speaker 2>I I've pushed my kids to play a lot of sports.

227
00:13:38.840 --> 00:13:41.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm glad I did. But at the same time, the

228
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:45.240
<v Speaker 2>time that they spent playing sports, they might have pursued something.

229
00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:48.759
<v Speaker 2>I kept them busy. I felt that, you know, keeping

230
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:51.840
<v Speaker 2>kids busy and tired and getting a good night's sleep

231
00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:55.519
<v Speaker 2>was important. But it sounds to me like your dad

232
00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:59.039
<v Speaker 2>hit the right notes and uh basically said to you,

233
00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:01.679
<v Speaker 2>took some pressure off off. You said, do your best.

234
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:06.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah this day.

235
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:09.600
<v Speaker 6>Wow, Well that's.

236
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:11.840
<v Speaker 2>That's great, that's great. And I know you came from

237
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:12.879
<v Speaker 2>a big family too.

238
00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:14.600
<v Speaker 6>Oh my god.

239
00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:16.600
<v Speaker 4>He was there, eight of us.

240
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:19.360
<v Speaker 6>He was married to my mom for seventy years before

241
00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:25.360
<v Speaker 6>she passed. And to your point about treating everyone the same,

242
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:29.799
<v Speaker 6>we were all treated the same. In fact, such a

243
00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:33.799
<v Speaker 6>work ethic. Can you imagine we had an assembly line

244
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:39.480
<v Speaker 6>for washing dishes after after Sunday dinner and coming home

245
00:14:39.480 --> 00:14:41.759
<v Speaker 6>from mass I think you have to.

246
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:44.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you couldn't leave that all to one person.

247
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:48.000
<v Speaker 2>I mean it sounds like you, you know, with eight

248
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:50.399
<v Speaker 2>of you, ten of you, with your parents around the table,

249
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:56.799
<v Speaker 2>it was like a restaurant. Well good for you, and

250
00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:00.519
<v Speaker 2>I'll bet you your your family. Everybody, everybody chipped in

251
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:01.720
<v Speaker 2>and they did it willingly.

252
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:03.679
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

253
00:15:03.879 --> 00:15:07.039
<v Speaker 6>And like you say, we all have our different strengths.

254
00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:11.559
<v Speaker 6>I believe it or not. I'm the more serious one.

255
00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:15.879
<v Speaker 6>Sometimes when I meet with them these days, I sit

256
00:15:15.960 --> 00:15:18.960
<v Speaker 6>down and I'm wondering, chee did I grow.

257
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:21.440
<v Speaker 7>Up with them? You know.

258
00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:25.960
<v Speaker 6>It's but we all had our different personalities and strengths

259
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:29.200
<v Speaker 6>and at the same time we were a team and

260
00:15:29.240 --> 00:15:30.200
<v Speaker 6>we still are a team.

261
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:35.639
<v Speaker 2>So that's that for a family. That's very much. Thank you, Bob,

262
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.279
<v Speaker 2>Thank you Ron, really and say say hello to your dad, Bob.

263
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:40.759
<v Speaker 2>Tell him I said, Happy Father's Day.

00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:44.879
<v Speaker 6>Okay, I will you Dan, happy father today.

<v Speaker 2>It's been a long week. Who's your who's your father?

270
00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:07.240
<v Speaker 9>Well? My dad he was very special to me, super

271
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:13.399
<v Speaker 9>super father, and I lost him. He passed away when

272
00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:14.519
<v Speaker 9>I was nineteen.

273
00:16:15.360 --> 00:16:18.080
<v Speaker 2>That's a tough age. That's a tough age to lose

274
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:18.559
<v Speaker 2>your dad.

275
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:22.519
<v Speaker 9>And he had cancer. He had to go to the

276
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:27.080
<v Speaker 9>hospital a lot, and I went with him all the time.

277
00:16:28.200 --> 00:16:31.440
<v Speaker 9>We went with him with his one of his homie buddies,

278
00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:36.600
<v Speaker 9>and you know, it was tough trying to get through

279
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:42.240
<v Speaker 9>losing them, and it devastated me. And he was the

280
00:16:42.279 --> 00:16:45.399
<v Speaker 9>most wonderful dad a girl could ever have.

281
00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:51.600
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's that's that's a perfect tribute.

282
00:16:51.799 --> 00:16:57.399
<v Speaker 9>Yeah. And I can also mention my sons, my two sons.

283
00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:04.839
<v Speaker 9>One hell bring up his girlfriend's son, and my other son.

284
00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:10.759
<v Speaker 9>He has four children, and his oldest one he adopted

285
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:14.240
<v Speaker 9>and then he had three of its own.

286
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:19.839
<v Speaker 2>And that's a special parent. When they when they adopt people,

287
00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:24.680
<v Speaker 2>they adopt children. There they're making a huge difference in

288
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:25.799
<v Speaker 2>people's lives. Yeah.

289
00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:26.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:33.759
<v Speaker 9>knew he was going to be adopted, He said he

292
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:39.960

293
00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:45.799
<v Speaker 9>his sister and his other two brothers. And he was

00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:49.279
<v Speaker 9>so happy. And you know, he looked at that.

451
00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:37.119
<v Speaker 11>So I mean, you know, all their dads out there,

452
00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:38.400
<v Speaker 11>just be a good dad.

453
00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:39.000
<v Speaker 4>To your kids.

454
00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:40.680
<v Speaker 10>You know, that's all there is.

455
00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:45.200
<v Speaker 2>It's a big responsibility. It's a tough job. I mean,

456
00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:50.160
<v Speaker 2>dads are expected to do a lot more these days

457
00:26:50.200 --> 00:26:51.839
<v Speaker 2>than they did in the past. I mean in the

458
00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:56.240
<v Speaker 2>pasty of the providers, but now dads are expected to

459
00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:59.839
<v Speaker 2>do some things that maybe they were not expected to

460
00:27:00.119 --> 00:27:00.720
<v Speaker 2>in the past.

461
00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:06.599
<v Speaker 12>And if there's one thing like for instance, with me

462
00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:10.319
<v Speaker 12>on my case, I have a grandson that he's fifteen.

463
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:14.160
<v Speaker 12>That's one that you know, and with this kid.

464
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:18.119
<v Speaker 10>I'm involved. And I then even though with my lane

465
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:22.079
<v Speaker 10>of work, I make a point to driving to school,

466
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:28.119
<v Speaker 10>to your school, to Boston Latin school in because sometimes

467
00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:32.359
<v Speaker 10>he's fifteen. Now I don't have you know, if we're

468
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:35.559
<v Speaker 10>at the house, he's doing his own thing. But I

469
00:27:35.680 --> 00:27:39.599
<v Speaker 10>get that half an hour just to myself, just him

470
00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:41.440
<v Speaker 10>and I and I teach.

471
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:44.960
<v Speaker 11>I mean, we talk so much about life. He's very mature.

472
00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:48.079
<v Speaker 11>And that's what I said, Dad, you know.

473
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:50.759
<v Speaker 10>He's supposed to do it. I'm proud of it. I

474
00:27:50.799 --> 00:27:52.480
<v Speaker 10>will call myself a good dad.

475
00:27:53.319 --> 00:28:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, but but I feel good about it. Well that

476
00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:03.000
<v Speaker 2>that is the best investment that you could make in

477
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:06.279
<v Speaker 2>terms of time. I gotta tell you, those are those

478
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:09.440
<v Speaker 2>are I wish I could have those days back, but

479
00:28:09.440 --> 00:28:11.480
<v Speaker 2>but you know, once they're gone, they're gone. Joe.

480
00:28:11.559 --> 00:28:15.440
<v Speaker 12>So yeah, because my own kids, I didn't have the

481
00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:19.319
<v Speaker 12>time because I was so busy doing work. But you know,

482
00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:22.880
<v Speaker 12>with him, I can do that, and you know, and

483
00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:26.960
<v Speaker 12>I loving every second of it. And my main reason

484
00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:30.279

<v Speaker 8>He raised on one of six siblings, and he put

510
00:29:57.000 --> 00:30:00.480
<v Speaker 8>us all through school. He came to this country, u uh,

511
00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:04.079
<v Speaker 8>you know on like a ten ten spot and uh,

512
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:07.359
<v Speaker 8>you know, worked at Jimmy's Harbor Side and then decided

513
00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:11.279
<v Speaker 8>to get his own restaurant. And like I say, all

514
00:30:11.319 --> 00:30:11.920
<v Speaker 8>through school.

515
00:30:12.599 --> 00:30:15.519
<v Speaker 2>What what restaurant was that? When? When was he Alex?

516
00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:19.200
<v Speaker 2>When was Jimmy's? Was my favorite restaurant for many years

517
00:30:19.680 --> 00:30:22.319
<v Speaker 2>the Dualist family ran that restaurant and they were, you know,

518
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:25.799
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy and Charlie Dulis. Uh what years was your dad?

519
00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:30.359
<v Speaker 8>Did your dad work at Jimmy's back in the late sixties.

520
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and then he opened his own restaurant.

521
00:30:34.359 --> 00:30:38.319
<v Speaker 8>Which restaurant was actually it was actually a coffee shop

522
00:30:38.559 --> 00:30:43.000
<v Speaker 8>breakfast place, and it was in Dorchester over by Saint

523
00:30:43.079 --> 00:30:48.039

524
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:52.160
<v Speaker 8>And then finally and then a second place after that

525
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:58.160
<v Speaker 8>in Rossendale and it's by Rossie Square. So in both

526
00:30:58.240 --> 00:31:02.440
<v Speaker 8>cases he worked so hard, he never really took much time,

527
00:31:02.519 --> 00:31:06.440
<v Speaker 8>you know, because he wanted to make sure we were

528
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:10.559
<v Speaker 8>taken care of, and we all were participating in the

529
00:31:10.599 --> 00:31:11.960
<v Speaker 8>restaurant as kids.

530
00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:13.839
<v Speaker 2>And he would have been you said, he would have

531
00:31:13.839 --> 00:31:19.720
<v Speaker 2>been ninety seven ninety so, yeah, he was born then

532
00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:22.559
<v Speaker 2>in he was born in.

533
00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:27.720
<v Speaker 8>Nineteen twenty eight, yes, nineteen.

535
00:31:31.240 --> 00:31:31.720
<v Speaker 2>Did he live?

536
00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:35.359

543
00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:55.200

00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:28.640
<v Speaker 2>I was a young rookie reporter. Really nice guy. He

556
00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:31.480
<v Speaker 2>was very interested in the concept of the sky, and

557
00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:34.920
<v Speaker 2>he always tried to encourage people to look up and

558
00:32:34.960 --> 00:32:38.160
<v Speaker 2>realize how beautiful the sky was. That was Jack's that

588
00:34:04.240 --> 00:34:10.159
<v Speaker 4>Sure, anytime. Yeah, my dad was somebody that wasn't you know,

589
00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:13.639
<v Speaker 4>the typical of the of his generation. He was born

590
00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:18.119
<v Speaker 4>in nineteen twenty. Not the easiest to grow up with.

591
00:34:18.280 --> 00:34:20.840
<v Speaker 4>You know, life was tough, and he lost a lot

592
00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:25.840
<v Speaker 4>all through his life and had probably permanent PTSD, starting

593
00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:28.840
<v Speaker 4>from you know, losing family members as a kid and

594
00:34:28.840 --> 00:34:32.119
<v Speaker 4>so forth. And then the Navy after that, where he

595
00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:36.360
<v Speaker 4>was a celestial navigator if you can believe that. Then

596
00:34:36.440 --> 00:34:41.400
<v Speaker 4>in the North Atlanta using the Sexton and the book

597
00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:48.679
<v Speaker 4>in any encyclopedia you can imagine. And then he was

598
00:34:48.719 --> 00:34:51.400
<v Speaker 4>in the Pacific and his ship was blown up and

599
00:34:52.719 --> 00:34:57.119
