Speaker 1: It's yes, I'm going.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you very much for my reintroduction to the
Speaker 2: busy listening audience. We Jack Hart and I have roughly
Speaker 2: about fifty yard minutes of show to go and we
Speaker 2: just can't get this best started. Ask me why, Jack,
Speaker 2: why we have a call from framing him?
Speaker 3: Oh? And I always yield to.
Speaker 2: The phone calls whenever possible. They take priority. So Michael,
Speaker 2: you are next here on night side Jack.
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm the guy who promotes you. You know, the
Speaker 4: little two man show.
Speaker 5: You do the comedy and what's his name?
Speaker 4: Man Morgan does a symbol.
Speaker 5: Although Morgan's getting pretty pretty good what I called about?
Speaker 6: Yeah, and don't cut me off because.
Speaker 4: At the end I got something.
Speaker 3: I got something.
Speaker 7: True true.
Speaker 5: You just see the seven second delay. Anyway, how many
Speaker 5: how many major election figures do you think rallied in
Speaker 5: the Boston Garden, the original Boston Garden.
Speaker 4: I don't think they do it anymore.
Speaker 3: How many?
Speaker 5: What major candidates for office?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 5: I did speeches in the Boston gardens, the old Boston gardens.
Speaker 8: Oh, I think they did speeches in the Boston Garden
Speaker 8: in earlier days.
Speaker 3: I don't work in my life. I know that much.
Speaker 8: Yeah, but that's that's probably started to wane after that,
Speaker 8: I tell you the truth. That's that's one question I
Speaker 8: can't answer.
Speaker 3: I don't know, okay, the.
Speaker 6: Reason why I mentioned it.
Speaker 5: And we've got to be a little quiet on this,
Speaker 5: even though we're going to thirty two stats.
Speaker 4: I happen to those some who ripped.
Speaker 5: That building down, helped your fit down, and they have
Speaker 5: the original red, white and blue bunting. Of course, you
Speaker 5: got to show prominent, so I don't know if that
Speaker 5: means you need you need to do DNA.
Speaker 9: But I'm gonna I'm gonna let go ahead.
Speaker 2: No, we haven't said a word with letting you talk.
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, I'm gonna let I'm gonna leave you with
Speaker 5: one last thing.
Speaker 9: First of all, what are you doing doing the Norse
Speaker 9: during during the show? I mean, come on, yeah, but
Speaker 9: listen to this.
Speaker 5: I can't want your syndication newscast, but they hope to
Speaker 5: get paid extra for on an FM station from Plymouth.
Speaker 5: And I thought I was gonna fall on the ground
Speaker 5: when you started advertising juicy juicy juicy juice drinks.
Speaker 6: I thought I thought I was gonna full good thing.
Speaker 3: I wasn't driving, which thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah you d Hey, Michael, thank you, and he was
Speaker 2: word we were gonna cut him off. Yeah, let's go
Speaker 2: to Newton where I am right now and talk to Ron.
Speaker 3: Ron.
Speaker 2: Thank you for taking the time to call us here
Speaker 2: on Night Side.
Speaker 4: Hi, Morgan, terrific show. Thank you so much for filling
Speaker 4: in as graciously as you do. For Dan. Thank you,
Speaker 4: good friend.
Speaker 7: Dan.
Speaker 4: And I wanted to call you actually for a long
Speaker 4: while and compliment you and Nicole Davis today that you
Speaker 4: quickly pivoted from your show and went on to do
Speaker 4: such back in the fall. Yes, I was just so
Speaker 4: impressed and appreciative that night.
Speaker 2: Although I'm sorry you let me correct you those nights plural.
Speaker 2: That story broke in a Wednesday, and we didn't get
Speaker 2: an ending to the story, and we all know how
Speaker 2: that story ended until Friday. So she and I did Wednesday, Thursday,
Speaker 2: and Friday with updates and information that story.
Speaker 4: More an incredible, incredible team, And I thought I wanted
Speaker 4: to call in first of all and thank you for that.
Speaker 4: I've wanted to for a long while. And then secondly,
Speaker 4: I was hoping I had I have promised my good
Speaker 4: friend Glenn from Brighton Yes, that I would take him
Speaker 4: out on my cost this summer on the Jack on
Speaker 4: Jack's City tour. But we don't know how to best
Speaker 4: figure out when the optimal time is. It's sort of
Speaker 4: a sort of a you know, it's throwing the dice.
Speaker 4: So I was wondering if I could get some of
Speaker 4: the dice on how to best make that happen. That
Speaker 4: Jim that's on his bucket list help this man.
Speaker 8: Well, you would come down to uh, you know, make
Speaker 8: your way down. I don't know what your modes of
Speaker 8: transportation are, but you know, one way or another, make
Speaker 8: your way down towards essentially New England Aquarium.
Speaker 3: And right on the main.
Speaker 8: Drag there is is is Atlantic Avenue just right out
Speaker 8: by the the fountain and the on the Rose Kennedy Greenway,
Speaker 8: and there's a big fountain there and and then.
Speaker 4: Buy a ticket and well they know in advance, Jack
Speaker 4: as your schedule. I know that it's but it may vary.
Speaker 4: And certainly I also have to tell you that I
Speaker 4: really enjoy.
Speaker 3: Some of the.
Speaker 4: Off the consumer that you have in traffic. It just
Speaker 4: it just makes it fors to listen to.
Speaker 3: Thank you entirely welcome.
Speaker 8: Yeah, this I I have been doing a little less.
Speaker 8: I've been working a little bit less this year in
Speaker 8: radio or in trolley land because I have been doing
Speaker 8: a lot of fill in work here in the land
Speaker 8: of radio, and so it's it's a little bit tricky
Speaker 8: most of the time. At least of the last couple
Speaker 8: of months, I've only been there like a like a
Speaker 8: day or two a week, typically towards the end of
Speaker 8: the week. I know this coming week, I'll be there
Speaker 8: on Thursday there all day.
Speaker 4: So maybe I can make a range that's on glenn
Speaker 4: bucket list.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would.
Speaker 4: I would pick him up and and then park at
Speaker 4: when I used to go to the uh the aquarium,
Speaker 4: and I would park in the in the parking lot
Speaker 4: immediately adjacent to it. But I don't know if that's
Speaker 4: still available or if it is that I'll park and
Speaker 4: I'll be able to guide Glenn along to the boarding
Speaker 4: spot and that would be super.
Speaker 2: And also the parking is not a problem down there
Speaker 2: because the aquarium has parking. There's a huge parking structure
Speaker 2: about a block walk away and you can find parking.
Speaker 2: I guarantee it.
Speaker 3: That's right. Just stop it a loan office on your way.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, they tried you an arm and a leg
Speaker 2: and an ear.
Speaker 3: That's right. Take out a mortgage on your parking space.
Speaker 4: That's that's that's okay. If I can do for this,
Speaker 4: this for Glenn wants and uh and accomplish that on
Speaker 4: his bucket list, then we will have succeeded. And I again,
Speaker 4: thank you so much for what you do, both Morgan
Speaker 4: and Jacket, and you add to our lives.
Speaker 2: Ron, thank you, thank you very much. And I'm about
Speaker 2: to take a break. And Ron, Glenn is not next caller,
Speaker 2: but on deck. Next caller. Excellent, So I've got Larry,
Speaker 2: then Glenn, and maybe you. The line Rhyn was on,
Speaker 2: he just cleared, he just hung up. Therefore, if you
Speaker 2: want to dial six one, seven, two, five, four, ten,
Speaker 2: thirty eight eight nine to nineteen thirty. And there's a
Speaker 2: caller who is quite conspicuous in her absence. Whenever I
Speaker 2: have you on, Jack, Florence from Groveland always calls in.
Speaker 2: That's right, but as of tonight, she is yet to
Speaker 2: make an appearance. Oh heck, oh darn. But there's room
Speaker 2: for you, Florence. If you want to die right now,
Speaker 2: you grab that line. But Jack, I gotta take another break.
Speaker 2: We are never going to get this busy on the
Speaker 2: road all right. Time and temperature here on night Side
Speaker 2: eleven fifteen seventy nine degrees.
Speaker 1: Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World,
Speaker 1: Nice Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 2: We are maybe not going to get this tour a going.
Speaker 2: It's a good thing that we covered the Boston massacre
Speaker 2: when we did, because we've got full lines. And yes,
Speaker 2: Florence did grab that one open line.
Speaker 3: Excellent.
Speaker 2: So Larry, Glenn and Florence in order, let's begin with
Speaker 2: Larry and reading.
Speaker 3: Thank you Larry for the call.
Speaker 7: Oh uh one of the Oh, I think he knows
Speaker 7: what the answer is down by the Union Oyster House. Yeah,
Speaker 7: on one of the old.
Speaker 3: Streets, Marshall Street, yeah, or Union.
Speaker 7: Street in the outside wall right now, it's a gift shop.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 7: What's called the Boston Stone.
Speaker 8: Oh, yes, yeah, I know it's it's it's in Uh
Speaker 8: last time, it used to be in the Boston Stone Lounge,
Speaker 8: and then it was a place called the Point. But yes,
Speaker 8: I'm from Red I'm familiar with it.
Speaker 7: I wonder if you couldn't refresh mine and everybody else's
Speaker 7: memory about the importance of it.
Speaker 8: Well, there's the Boston stone. It's it's essentially it's just
Speaker 8: a stone. The last time I actually saw the thing
Speaker 8: was actually under the ladies toilet in this Boston Stone lounge,
Speaker 8: which is now defunct.
Speaker 3: And what do you do in the ladies room?
Speaker 8: Yeah, people used to come in, like you know, sometimes
Speaker 8: college students would come in. They would want to kiss
Speaker 8: the Boston's own you know. It was the Blarney Stoners,
Speaker 8: I think. Okay, And it was so so you know,
Speaker 8: I mean, of course, and if the Boston Stone is there,
Speaker 8: you want to at least look at it once, you know.
Speaker 8: And but the Boston Stone, what it was was the
Speaker 8: it was a central point for measurement for points.
Speaker 3: For oh yeah, for for postal.
Speaker 8: Fees, for the price to uh for for the distance.
Speaker 8: So that would you would mark from that point if
Speaker 8: you if you travel around on some of the old
Speaker 8: post roads and things like this route twenty, Route nine
Speaker 8: some of the others.
Speaker 2: That's the distance out to Deadham so to speak.
Speaker 3: For example.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you see these you see these sort of little pillars,
Speaker 8: the small pillars with a mile marker on it. They're
Speaker 8: all measured from that point. And that way they could
Speaker 8: that's how they knew how to what to charge for
Speaker 8: the delivery of a letter or an item?
Speaker 3: All right, Layer, does that make you happy?
Speaker 7: Well? The only reason I know about it. I look.
Speaker 7: I was going through nineteen twenty eight Boston guidebook and
Speaker 7: it was mentioned, Oh okay.
Speaker 3: But does it say does it say essentially that?
Speaker 7: Right now? I don't recall.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I'm trusting Jack's word because he knows his
Speaker 2: Boston history. So Larry, thank you for taking the time
Speaker 2: to call us, enjoy your weekend. Bust war is good,
Speaker 2: thank you, and we're going to get it going shortly.
Speaker 2: So Larry, Larry's line is open. He has hung up
Speaker 2: if you want to jump on six one, seven, two, five,
Speaker 2: four ten thirty or eight eight, eight, nine, two nine
Speaker 2: ten thirty. And look who's here in Brighton, Glenn, Glenn,
Speaker 2: welcome aboard.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 10: I always have to call it Jackson. Yeah, that guy run.
Speaker 10: He knows the Winnakers. Monday night, when I mentioned Ron,
Speaker 10: they knew who he was, right, And that's how my
Speaker 10: bucket was too.
Speaker 3: To go see this show on the Thursday.
Speaker 10: Excellent, Right, I got quite a book. It was called
Speaker 10: But anyway, two quick things on Norm I remember on
Speaker 10: the dumb birthday game, when he would do the lottery
Speaker 10: numbers and you would do the traffic at the same time.
Speaker 10: That's right, remember you guys sounded like two radio fas
Speaker 10: and you know, and and I don't know how it happened.
Speaker 10: It was just you know, it was just absolute you know,
Speaker 10: the idea, but the but the way it worked, it
Speaker 10: would always end up that we always ended up ending
Speaker 10: at the at the same time.
Speaker 8: Our tiring on that always worked out. Just it was
Speaker 8: just so beautifully uh put together. And you know, it
Speaker 8: was just and that was never planned, It was never rehearsed,
Speaker 8: and it would just it would just turn out that way.
Speaker 3: It'd be it'd be.
Speaker 8: Reading the line bottery numbers and and that'd be talking
Speaker 8: about the traffic and Hi.
Speaker 10: Unfortunately, I loaned my friend of mine. I loaned my
Speaker 10: birthday game tapes to him, and he moved and I
Speaker 10: never saw tapes going.
Speaker 8: Oh heck, well, listen to Tony's Tony Nesbit's podcast items.
Speaker 3: He's a lot of them, and that I.
Speaker 10: Don't have a computer, but I had a podcast.
Speaker 3: He has a podcast.
Speaker 8: What he does was he he takes hour long segments
Speaker 8: of Norm Nathan's programs and and they're out there he does,
Speaker 8: but said he's got he's got everything. I think there's
Speaker 8: there's he must have one hundred and fifty or more
Speaker 8: episodes online now and uh and they're you know it's.
Speaker 3: And each shows four or five hours long. Yeah, well
Speaker 3: I think he does.
Speaker 8: He does them an hour increments, one hour increments, and
Speaker 8: and you know, the frustrating part about listening to them
Speaker 8: is you want to call in. I know, yeah, they
Speaker 8: still stand, they still stand, they still sound new, you know,
Speaker 8: oh cool.
Speaker 10: And also the thing Norm used to tease you about
Speaker 10: using different names on the radio stations. You were Paul Drake.
Speaker 3: Paul Drake, Jeffreys Ball the right.
Speaker 10: But I remember the day he said, now, tomorrow afternoon,
Speaker 10: you're going to be fool manchoo. And he said, now,
Speaker 10: will you have a fool man che accent? You know,
Speaker 10: I don't know what pool man chew accents, stuff like.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well I'm going to I'm going to a boy
Speaker 8: dot the accents.
Speaker 10: I know. But that's the thing about Norm. He he
Speaker 10: even said I'm not He used to say stuff like,
Speaker 10: I'm not afraid of Peter Casey. I'm taller than he is,
Speaker 10: all right, they said, must still cry. Sometimes he was
Speaker 10: a good friend.
Speaker 3: Yes he was. He was a wonderful person, Marvel's.
Speaker 10: Human b I met with a daughter, but I think
Speaker 10: it was was it a breast cancer walk or something
Speaker 10: one of.
Speaker 2: His daughters I forget, but yes, one of his daughters
Speaker 2: is listening tonight. She called in during a commercial break
Speaker 2: just to say she's listening and is enjoying the conversation.
Speaker 2: Hearing the conversation about her dad.
Speaker 3: Excellent.
Speaker 7: Is that Sonya or Sarah?
Speaker 2: I don't know which one. I know he's he's got
Speaker 2: a couple of daughters.
Speaker 10: I remember he used to say sonya with a jay,
Speaker 10: not with them. Yeah, that's all I had. I just
Speaker 10: and I knew Ron was going to call in, So
Speaker 10: my buddy, all right, well we got I got to
Speaker 10: call him.
Speaker 2: We got your call, and you've gotten credit for it.
Speaker 2: And thank you for making it nice to hear from me.
Speaker 10: From you guys.
Speaker 2: To take care, Glenn, good night, enjoy your weekend. There
Speaker 2: goes to Glenn, and we made a request for this woman.
Speaker 2: And it's appointment radio. When the people on the radio
Speaker 2: call out your name, it's a rule you have to
Speaker 2: call in. And she is here. Florence from Groveland, Florence,
Speaker 2: good evening.
Speaker 11: Oh, good evening, Morgan chat. I got a bit of
Speaker 11: a cold, kind of lousy.
Speaker 3: Honey apple side of vinegar and honey and v.
Speaker 11: Thank you. Do you know what? I'm stuck tonight because
Speaker 11: I am back at my son's house babysitting and he
Speaker 11: doesn't have a radio, and I couldn't listen to the show.
Speaker 11: But I had a feeling that you were on tonight, Yeah,
Speaker 11: because Walgan mentioned it.
Speaker 3: I promoted it all week long. Excellent.
Speaker 11: Yeah, and so I at least had to call in
Speaker 11: and say hello, I wasn't sure what you were going
Speaker 11: to be doing it on tonight.
Speaker 2: You know, we're trying to do a city bus tour
Speaker 2: and obviously our imaginations, but we keep getting phone traffic. Therefore,
Speaker 2: he's been keeping his foot on the break like we're
Speaker 2: at a red light.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Yeah, how long will the tour season be? Jet?
Speaker 8: We we typically run until the end of October. Sometimes
Speaker 8: we extend a little bit into November, depending on the weather.
Speaker 8: Really if it's if it's decent weather and we still
Speaker 8: have and we still have reasonable attendance, then we keep going.
Speaker 11: Oh all right, good, Yeah, we ever to.
Speaker 3: Come to Boston.
Speaker 11: Yeah, keep it in mind. I haven't been in the
Speaker 11: Boston for quite a while.
Speaker 3: Oh well, come on down.
Speaker 2: Well there's still big, tall buildings every where you look.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 11: I wouldn't miss that too much. But you know the
Speaker 11: tall buildings, they just don't look up, right because I
Speaker 11: have a fear.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well really, well, they just keep looking straight ahead.
Speaker 8: You won't even know there are tall buildings.
Speaker 11: There, right, Or I get in near and just stay
Speaker 11: on the tour.
Speaker 3: But sure, that's the way to do it. Yeah, all right, start.
Speaker 8: Early, you get to take the tour, and then if
Speaker 8: you decide they're along the way that you want to
Speaker 8: get off at places, then go back after just look.
Speaker 2: Left and right. There's no reason to look up.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 8: Although you know there are some of the older buildings,
Speaker 8: there are some really beautiful details in a lot of
Speaker 8: the buildings.
Speaker 11: To look up, I think it makes me a little dizzy.
Speaker 8: Yeah, oh, then just look straight ahead and someone you
Speaker 8: will describe it as people say is there detail up there?
Speaker 8: And they'll say yes, and say, well, well, what what
Speaker 8: does it look like? And then they'll tell.
Speaker 11: You right, okay, Well it was great talking with you.
Speaker 11: It's a pleasure, and it's been a while Jack, and yeah,
Speaker 11: I missed talking with you. Now, I guess I'll need
Speaker 11: to wait when you're run again.
Speaker 2: Well, i'll have about again in the fall, sometime in
Speaker 2: October and November.
Speaker 3: I promise you.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, okay, but I'll be crawling in and say

Speaker 2: you in now because we only have about a minute
Speaker 2: before I have to take the break at the bottom
Speaker 2: of the hour. But as soon as a commercial of
Speaker 2: two and News come and go, I'll bring you into
Speaker 2: the conversation. And all of a sudden, we've been getting
Speaker 2: a lot of phone traffic, so if you want to
Speaker 2: keep the phone traffic going, six one, seven, two, five, four, ten,
Speaker 2: thirty eight eight, eight, nine, two, nine, ten thirty. Jack
Speaker 2: Hart is my guest. He'll be my gay for the
Speaker 2: next thirty three minutes here on night Side and don't forget.
Speaker 2: You'll hear Jack Hart periodically at the top of every
Speaker 2: hour until what three or four in the morning.
Speaker 8: Jack, Well, actually we do it every ten minutes until
Speaker 8: five am. Ah, every ten minutes. Traffic on the threes.
Speaker 2: Traffic on the threes after midnight, because we're not doing
Speaker 2: traffic on the threes during nightside. But no, once night
Speaker 2: side has come and gone, you've got a ten minute.
Speaker 3: Call every time. That's right, exactly right.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, Jack, I think it should be
Speaker 2: on every five minutes to give you more work to do.
Speaker 8: That's right, every traffic and traffic on another one and
Speaker 8: a half.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2: All right, let me give a chance for Rob to
Speaker 2: push some buttons in producers control. Here on night Side,
Speaker 2: Hurd only on WBZ time and temperature eleven twenty nine
Speaker 2: seventy nine degrees.
Speaker 1: You're on night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ Boston's
Speaker 1: news Radio.
Speaker 3: Last roundup.
Speaker 2: We have under twenty four minutes of show to go
Speaker 2: if you want to call in, a lot of people have,
Speaker 2: especially this last hour. YEA, Jack Cart is here and
Speaker 2: one of the things I've always loved about having a
Speaker 2: microphone to share with you. You the audience. I bring
Speaker 2: in people you don't usually get a chance to have,
Speaker 2: give and take, interact with, ask them questions, listen to
Speaker 2: them respond to you. The people on TV, the people
Speaker 2: on the radio. And here's a chance you hear Jack
Speaker 2: Cart tell you what roads to take or not to take.
Speaker 2: But here's a chance that you can call in and
Speaker 2: speak directly with the man that normally tells you way
Speaker 2: to go and how to get there. Getting still you
Speaker 2: can't talk back to him.
Speaker 3: That's right now you can, Yeah, and I can call in.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you a way to go to live in person.
Speaker 2: Gary, Gary, and Wubern, you're next here on night Side.
Speaker 3: Good evening to.
Speaker 6: You, Gary, Yes, Morgan, your first hour when you talk
Speaker 6: about cereal, there was something that you got brought up,
Speaker 6: and I called up about five of my friends I'm
Speaker 6: believing or not I have friends once in a while,
Speaker 6: and I called it out to you. Tell him about
Speaker 6: back to our days when we were kids when this happened.
Speaker 6: And I'll tell you on a second a little crack
Speaker 6: of jack surprise. And what I want to know from
Speaker 6: you and Jack before I go hang up with is
Speaker 6: that's your days. Because I'm sure you guys are older
Speaker 6: than me because I'm sixty one. Is what did you
Speaker 6: guys have as kids that were gimmicky? And I'll give
Speaker 6: you here at the tumas right the Cereal bucks you
Speaker 6: talked about the plastic vinyl.
Speaker 2: Yes, Post Cereal, not Kellogg's, not General Miles, but Post
Speaker 2: Cereal used that gimmick. And the early seventies artists of
Speaker 2: the day, the Monkeys, the Jackson Five, the Archies. They
Speaker 2: had records on Alphabets and Sugar Crisp and the other
Speaker 2: cereals by.
Speaker 3: Post Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember that.
Speaker 6: Did they have other type of songs in the seventies And.
Speaker 2: To me, my memory just those three artists.
Speaker 3: Now this I remember Sugar Sugar by the Archies.
Speaker 2: By the Archies, Yes, them, And isn't it ironic that
Speaker 2: you're eating a.
Speaker 3: Cereal with sugar sugar? Sugar sugar.
Speaker 2: But the key is I think it was just those
Speaker 2: three artists. But that carried a span of a year
Speaker 2: and a half to two years.
Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, we played it on our forty five of
Speaker 6: what and we heard the song of the We're all glorified,
Speaker 6: We're not glory, you know, ten years all the way
Speaker 6: back when. Well, but my question is this is if
Speaker 6: we have saved those the worth money today.
Speaker 3: Is collectibles one word? Yes? Really?
Speaker 6: And how much would that event?
Speaker 9: Just a little next.
Speaker 2: Time I have Gary Summers on and I rotate him
Speaker 2: on my air schedule with every two or three months frequency,
Speaker 2: call in and ask him. I have no idea of
Speaker 2: the worth. But if you had an alphabet SPOX that
Speaker 2: had ABC on it from the Jackson five and it's
Speaker 2: rap tight, what you had to do was rap it
Speaker 2: tight in like saran wrap to make it that much
Speaker 2: more valuable and prove that it's the original serial. I'm
Speaker 2: sure there's a value, there's a there's worth. Somebody will
Speaker 2: want to own that and they will pay you. I'm
Speaker 2: giving you a ballpark figure. Don't hold me to this figure,
Speaker 2: but they'll pay you twenty five dollars for it.
Speaker 10: Right.
Speaker 6: And before I go off, I want you and Jack
Speaker 6: to put on your thinking cash back when your kids
Speaker 6: it's not around anymore. That was a cheap thrill. And
Speaker 6: before I can go, I gotta say one thing. I
Speaker 6: am starting a petition and I want both you and
Speaker 6: Jack to join this petition. And I started out as
Speaker 6: number one, and you guys will bead number two and three.
Speaker 6: So we don't have to take calls from Florence anymore,
Speaker 6: thank you.
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, no, no, no no. Florence has
Speaker 2: carte blanche. She can call anytime she wants. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: twice on Sundays. You don't like Florence, now, Gary, I'm
Speaker 2: going to say this all my callers, all of my
Speaker 2: callers have a red carpet to call in. Whenever I
Speaker 2: have this microphone, you may call in and you may
Speaker 2: participate as you do. And I'll be honest, I'm sure
Speaker 2: there are people that are not enamored with you when
Speaker 2: you call in yet and still I take your calls,
Speaker 2: and you even once on a couple of occasions, you've
Speaker 2: requested guests. I think you requested Svenguli for me to
Speaker 2: try and get, which I did. So everybody that calls
Speaker 2: the show, you're all equal, you're all loved, and we're
Speaker 2: all family.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So there, and he knew that that was going to
Speaker 2: open a can of worms. That's why he hung up
Speaker 2: right after that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, why, Florence is a nice person. I love Florence,
Speaker 3: and she has a crush on you. Jack. Oh boy,
Speaker 3: it's your voice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you've got that kind of voice that some
Speaker 2: of the women swoon when they.
Speaker 8: Hear it just makes them crazy. Oh it does. Yeah,
Speaker 8: bah bah bah boom.
Speaker 3: Listen. Oh my goodness. We never get a chance to
Speaker 3: take the tour. They never take the tour. They just
Speaker 3: have to come down and take the tour.
Speaker 2: Well, I've got one more break to take in four
Speaker 2: minutes or so. But do me a favor. Yeah, let's
Speaker 2: take the tour and do it non stop. So stop
Speaker 2: A is the stop? B is that, et cetera. Take
Speaker 2: me around the city of Boston with the tour and
Speaker 2: we'll do it rapids fire.
Speaker 3: Okay. So here we are with the long long Wharf.
Speaker 8: This is where the British occuisty began the occupation of
Speaker 8: Boston in seventeen sixty eight.
Speaker 3: Of the wharf itself.
Speaker 8: Longest in the world when they built it, more than
Speaker 8: two thousand feet, extended all the way up what's now
Speaker 8: State Street, which was all part of the Boston Arbor
Speaker 8: in those days, heading into the North End right now
Speaker 8: the oldest city in Boston, and it was found it
Speaker 8: was and they started out the Shawmutt Peninsula. It was
Speaker 8: just a tiny little island for all intents and purposes
Speaker 8: a couple of square miles as all As was, and
Speaker 8: John Winthrop and seven hundred Puritans realized there was some
Speaker 8: buildable space and a deep harm where they could bring
Speaker 8: in big ships. Before you know it, we had the
Speaker 8: most successful commercial port on the Colonial coast. And then
Speaker 8: in the seventeen sixties the rebellion began. That that became
Speaker 8: the American Revolution. Heading on down towards Stop number three.
Speaker 8: On the way down there, going to pass by the
Speaker 8: steeple to the Old North Church. April eighteen, seventeen seventy five,
Speaker 8: Bobby Newman went up there, come to lanterns to let
Speaker 8: twenty eight men.
Speaker 2: You knew him as Bobby, I learned him as Robert.
Speaker 3: But you were a buddy, absolutely, okay, sure, sure, sure, yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: We called them Bobby. We called them a couple of
Speaker 3: other things too.
Speaker 8: But sir, he risked being charged with treason by putting
Speaker 8: a couple of lanterns up in the steeple when he
Speaker 8: found out that the British soldiers were going to row
Speaker 8: across the Charles River from Boston Common to Cambridge, march
Speaker 8: out to Concord and arrest Sam Adams and John Hancock
Speaker 8: for treason, and while they were out there they started
Speaker 8: the Revolutionary War. Continuing over the bridge into Charlestown. Right now,
Speaker 8: you're going to see the big tall thing looks like
Speaker 8: an Egyptian obelisk, monument to those who died on June seventeenth,
Speaker 8: seventeen seventy five of the Battle of Bunker Hill. Go
Speaker 8: around the corner, we'll see the USS Constitution, the oldest
Speaker 8: fully commissioned ship in the US Navy, got her thirty
Speaker 8: forty four battles, never lost, one got a nickname Old Ironsides.
Speaker 8: During the War of eighteen twelve a battle between the
Speaker 8: USS Constitution and the Guerriere, and the cannon balls were
Speaker 8: pounding off the hall of the Constitution didn't even make
Speaker 8: a dent, and as the Guerriere was sinking, an officer
Speaker 8: or state aboard said something we can't say on radio,
Speaker 8: and that yeah.
Speaker 2: Four three hundred years later, we still can't say it.
Speaker 8: That's right, And so instead the tour guide say huzzar.
Speaker 8: The heading back in towards the downtown area passed by
Speaker 8: the Zacam Bridge, widest cable stayed bridge in the world,
Speaker 8: one hundred some odd nearly two hundred feet wide with
Speaker 8: fine lanes of traffic in each direction. Bolst TD Garden
Speaker 8: is where the Boston Bruins play hockey. Celtics played basketball,
Speaker 8: won the championship there a few weeks ago, and then
Speaker 8: we're going to head up to stop number five. You
Speaker 8: can see you can see another view of the Zacom
Speaker 8: Bridge from a different perspective. TD Garden is there, the
Speaker 8: North Station, Amtrak commuter Rail, Orange Green subway lines and head.
Speaker 3: Into the West End.
Speaker 8: One time a working class neighborhood, all torn down in
Speaker 8: the nineteen fifties in the days of urban renewal, when
Speaker 8: interstate highways and the rise of suburbs or drawing people
Speaker 8: away from cities, and cities were trying to revitalize to
Speaker 8: keep people interested. They kicked out about six thousand families.
Speaker 8: And then from there we're going to head through what's
Speaker 8: now Government Center. One time Scully Square an entertainment district.
Speaker 8: It was one time movie houses in vaudeville houses, and
Speaker 8: then it became a burlesque and then it just became
Speaker 8: a typical red light district by the nineteen fifties, with
Speaker 8: had two parlors and shimmy shacks and so forth, and
Speaker 8: so on.
Speaker 2: Shimmy shacks. I've heard that phrase in a long time.
Speaker 8: Go and they, of course, they you know, try to
Speaker 8: be historic, so we say words that they said back then.
Speaker 2: Remember Old Scully Square Rick Tinery.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, yeah, I'm not familiar with that song. But
Speaker 8: also you never heard it all I know I did not.
Speaker 8: And Rob, hold on, I've got a break soon, and
Speaker 8: I want to play that for you.
Speaker 2: Rob during the break, if you can find Rick Tineries,
Speaker 2: remember Old Scully Square, and we'll play it within the
Speaker 2: last ten minutes of show. Okay, continue.
Speaker 3: So, so a government center build us.
Speaker 8: They started building it in the early nineteen sixties and
Speaker 8: they created the what's called brutalist architecture now because it's brutal.
Speaker 3: And continuing down the road, you're going to pass.
Speaker 8: By the Blackstone Block, oldest commercial district in town, the
Speaker 8: Holocaust Memorial, the Showell Memorial, dedicated to those who suffered
Speaker 8: in the Holocauster and World War Two. Heading down to
Speaker 8: the old State House built in seventeen thirteen as the
Speaker 8: British Government building, the site of the incident at King
Speaker 8: Street that we talked about earlier. Eight British soldiers attacked
Speaker 8: by nearly four hundred American colonists crowd. Brittish soldiers fired
Speaker 8: into the crowd, killed two people and the spot. Three
Speaker 8: more people died over the next several days, heading up
Speaker 8: around continuing up a State Street towards Court Street, it
Speaker 8: passed by the site of the seventeen Court Street is
Speaker 8: where you find the New England Center for Homeless Veterans.
Speaker 8: If you served in the US Armed Forces and fallen
Speaker 8: on hard times, they'll look after you now. But it
Speaker 8: was on that spot in the early seventeen hundreds, James
Speaker 8: Franklin had a printing shop. His youngest brother, Ben was
Speaker 8: his apprentice. The two of them didn't like each other.
Speaker 8: They fought regularly. Ben left Boston to get away from
Speaker 8: Jimmy ended up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Became a publisher there,
Speaker 8: the old Steaming Kettle, the Giants Steaming Tea Kettle. They
Speaker 8: was put there in eighteen seventy three who advertised the
Speaker 8: Oriental Tea Company. This people were illiterate. You had to
Speaker 8: show them what they were dealing with. There was a
Speaker 8: gastroenterologist right next door. Now traveling around the corner to
Speaker 8: getting past the King's Chapel burying ground that started out
Speaker 8: as a Puritan burying ground where John Winthrop, who founded Boston,
Speaker 8: is buried.
Speaker 3: King's Chapel.
Speaker 8: The Anglican representatives to the King wanted to build a church.
Speaker 8: Puritans wouldn't sell them land to do it, so the
Speaker 8: Anglicans ended up building a church in the Puritans burying ground.
