Speaker 1: It's nice Eyes with Dan Ray Unknown Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 2: Welcome back everyone. Excuse me, still dealing with this cough.
Speaker 2: I hope any of you that have had the same
Speaker 2: problem that I have has been able to shake this
Speaker 2: call this cold a little bit more easily or more
Speaker 2: quickly than I have. But I am a soldiering on
Speaker 2: here as we move into the twentieth hour of an
Speaker 2: interesting week here on Nightside. We have had I think
Speaker 2: some really good guests this week, and I just want
Speaker 2: to touch upon some of them as as we go
Speaker 2: through the week. We talked earlier this week about food
Speaker 2: that will bring you more happiness. We talk about Gerrod
Speaker 2: Meyo being fired from the Patriots. That was such a
Speaker 2: well many people expected it, others felt it was it
Speaker 2: was a surprise. We did an hour on that, and
Speaker 2: I basically said that I thought that he got a short,
Speaker 2: short end of the stick. Let's put it like that.
Speaker 2: He should have been given a couple of years a
Speaker 2: year with a team like that. Not fair anyway. Boston
Speaker 2: most foremost congested city in the US in terms of traffic,
Speaker 2: twelfth most congested in the world. We talked about the
Speaker 2: peaceful transition on January sixth on Monday and Congress as
Speaker 2: compared to four years ago, and hopefully that will be
Speaker 2: the tradition that will be continued every four years going forward.
Speaker 2: Talked on Tuesday night with some of our eight o'clock
Speaker 2: guests about New Year's resolutions, making the food supply safer,
Speaker 2: Boston traffic, talked about the fact that that Titanic exhibition
Speaker 2: has been extended. Talk with John Featherston about the shelter
Speaker 2: abuse problem here in Massachusetts, and interestingly enough, we'll get
Speaker 2: to this next week. The governor now is saying she's
Speaker 2: looking looking back and having second thoughts about whether or
Speaker 2: not the purpose of the law is being interpreted properly.
Speaker 2: That's an interesting argument. And then on Tuesday night we
Speaker 2: talked with Lou Ferranti's one of my favorite guests. He's
Speaker 2: an expert in the mafia. Talked about the mafia in
Speaker 2: America's political debate, elite in the nineteen sixties and seventies.
Speaker 2: And that will be the hour that we're going to
Speaker 2: play on Sunday night on Nightside and Demand. So if
Speaker 2: you miss that hour, which a lot of people really liked,
Speaker 2: eleven o'clock on Sunday night, you can hear at Nightside
Speaker 2: on demand. We talked about President Elect Trump's desire to
Speaker 2: regain control of the Panama Canal to support him on that.
Speaker 2: I don't think I feel the same way towards Greenland,
Speaker 2: but we'll see about that. Talked about Jimmy Carter's legacy
Speaker 2: on Wednesday night. Talked about an outbreak of the neuro virus.
Speaker 2: Talked about the LA wildfires. Talked about the NBA Tia
Speaker 2: Communities Act. The decision that came down on Wednesday, kind
Speaker 2: of a split decision by the Massachusetts State Supreme Court.
Speaker 2: Talked with Todd Lyons, the National Assistant Director of ICE's
Speaker 2: Field Operations Nationwide of Boston based. Guy. Talked about Justin
Speaker 2: Trudeau's decision to resign as the head of his political
Speaker 2: party and eventually as Prime Minister of Canada. Had some
Speaker 2: interesting calls from Canada on Thursday night. Talked about foods
Speaker 2: that help you provide a longer life, including dark chocolate,
Speaker 2: which is good news. Talked with a fellow about people
Speaker 2: who are addicted to Facebook. Talked about zombie employees. Talked
Speaker 2: about with Mike Defina of the Animal Rescue League about
Speaker 2: keeping your pets safe in these cold weather last night,
Speaker 2: had Attorney Harvey Silverglade on talking about the dark web
Speaker 2: in some of those places where people are getting radicalized,
Speaker 2: and what can be done in the light of the
Speaker 2: New Year's attack in New Year's Eve, And we spent
Speaker 2: two hours last night remembering Jimmy Carter who was laid
Speaker 2: to rest yesterday evening or get late yesterday afternoon in
Speaker 2: planes Georgia and tonight, talked about that TikTok case in
Speaker 2: front of the Supreme Court. Talked about bird flu, the
Speaker 2: arrival of bird flu, Let's see what happens, talked about
Speaker 2: distracted eating, talked about the Los Angeles wildfire scams. There
Speaker 2: are scams out there, don't fall for them. And talk
Speaker 2: for the last two hours about the devastation in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: So here's what I want to do. Twentieth hours of
Speaker 2: the week. We try to get a little lighter. It's
Speaker 2: been some tough topics this week, particularly again when you
Speaker 2: think about it Los Angeles, I kind of imagine what
Speaker 2: it must be like to be out there tonight and
Speaker 2: to be one of those impactive communities. Yes, you can
Speaker 2: only say there if the grace or God go any
Speaker 2: one of us, but pray and think about those people
Speaker 2: and if you can support some of the decent charities
Speaker 2: and do not fall into the scams. What I want
Speaker 2: to do tonight is I want to give each of
Speaker 2: you oportunity to kind of take control of my microphone.
Speaker 2: Now we don't often do this on Nightside, but this
Speaker 2: is not open lines. But what I want to call
Speaker 2: it is college choice. What would you like to know
Speaker 2: more about? What would you like to talk about? What
Speaker 2: if you were the talk show host? What subjects would
Speaker 2: you be bringing up to try to get people involved
Speaker 2: in the conversation. So I'm going to give everyone an
Speaker 2: opportunity to throw some topics out there. Maybe some of
Speaker 2: them will be topics that we will pick up and
Speaker 2: follow up on next week, but I'd love to know
Speaker 2: what is an issue or what is a topic that
Speaker 2: you've not heard on Night Side, maybe even a topic
Speaker 2: that you've never heard on Nightside. So again, this is
Speaker 2: a gamble and I'm calling it college choice. So what
Speaker 2: would the choice be if you were in my shoes?
Speaker 2: Every day? Marita and I try to put together a
Speaker 2: program that's a little different and a program that will
Speaker 2: interest people. Obviously we follow news. I'm sure you would
Speaker 2: expect us to because often those are the critical stories
Speaker 2: of the day. We did not get today, Uh, to
Speaker 2: the to the issue of the sentencing of President Trump
Speaker 2: by Judge Mershon in New York. We might again. If
Speaker 2: this topic doesn't go as well as I hope it
Speaker 2: will go, we can always do some of that. So
Speaker 2: I ask you, real simple, what are the topics? Give
Speaker 2: me your topic ideas that you haven't heard about that
Speaker 2: you haven't heard on the show. Going to open the
Speaker 2: lines up and you were more than welcome to the conversation.
Speaker 2: Six one seven, two ten thirty, six one seven nine
Speaker 2: three one ten thirty. That's the only line open right now.
Speaker 2: Six one seven, nine, three, one ten thirty. Come on back,
Speaker 2: let's get it going.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: I'd love to complete the hour. We can pick up
Speaker 2: on the the Trump sentencing on Monday. We certainly could
Speaker 2: do that. We could pick up because that's a story
Speaker 2: that he will be and he's a convicted felon until
Speaker 2: and if the case is overturned in the US Supreme Court,
Speaker 2: and there are appealable issues, but that's in the future.
Speaker 2: So the only lines open right now, six one seven nine,
Speaker 2: Bring it on. We're coming back on Nightside right after this.
Speaker 1: Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Speaker 1: Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 2: Let's go to the Call's gonna start off with Gary. Gary,
Speaker 2: tell us what subject you'd like to talk about if
Speaker 2: you were a talk show host. Got to hit the lot,
Speaker 2: Aga miss the button. That was my fault. Gary, go
Speaker 2: right ahead.
Speaker 4: Well, you're on vacation. Morgan had one of your people
Speaker 4: in the production, one of Marita's people under her, a
Speaker 4: woman I forgot her name, Danielle or no, no, no.
Speaker 2: I think you referred to Karen Boussemi.
Speaker 5: Yes.
Speaker 4: Oh, she was awesome. She was off for the whole
Speaker 4: hour at Morgan and she was so enlightening my ideas
Speaker 4: of this. I wish you would talk more for an
Speaker 4: hour and get somebody from the Midwest who's a national
Speaker 4: farmer and talk about farming and so people here in
Speaker 4: the East Coast can appreciate how much does a cow
Speaker 4: eat in the day, you know, about production of food.
Speaker 4: I would find that interesting. Also, I wish you would
Speaker 4: have the historian Mike Dunovan on. He is unbelievable. Mike
Speaker 4: Donovan has been on WBZ, but he hasn't been on
Speaker 4: for the longest time with anybody, and you're the lead guy.
Speaker 4: I'm not holding you accountable. But you know Mike Dunhaman,
Speaker 4: have you ever had him money?
Speaker 2: I'm not sure. He used to be on with one
Speaker 2: of the other overnight talk show host guys, and he's
Speaker 2: a very prolific writer. He writes a lot of books,
Speaker 2: sort of like history books about what happened when and
Speaker 2: all of that. Yeah, I'll consider that absolutely. There's a
Speaker 2: whole bunch of guests I want to I want to
Speaker 2: have mister Samarka Wan who writes the books about neighborhoods
Speaker 2: in Boston. But what happens a lot of times is
Speaker 2: you don't like to steal guests from other talk show hosts,
Speaker 2: if you know what I'm saying. I mean, that's but
Speaker 2: that's those are good suggestions. I like the farming suggestion
Speaker 2: because I think you're right. We know very little. You know,
Speaker 2: we go to the grocery store and and we we
Speaker 2: we we pick up items no problem at all, and
Speaker 2: we never think about how that item is produced and
Speaker 2: then how is it transported. We have a truck driver
Speaker 2: who listens all the time, Steve uh and you know
Speaker 2: there are people out on the road right now driving
Speaker 2: semi trailer trucks in tough weather to make sure that
Speaker 2: the food that you and I are going to buy
Speaker 2: at the supermarket this weekend or next week will be
Speaker 2: on the shelves when we get there.
Speaker 4: Well, I learned this on Jeopardy way back when Iowa, Kansas,
Speaker 4: the as in Oklahoma. Those four states, they all have
Speaker 4: one thing in common. They're all Midwestern states. They have
Speaker 4: all farming states. But they can do one thing and
Speaker 4: one day that all the rest of the states can
Speaker 4: cannot do. You know what that is, right, I have
Speaker 4: no idea feed the United States all on one day.
Speaker 2: Uh well, I don't know they can do it, and
Speaker 2: they I don't know that. I know that. I had
Speaker 2: a friend of mine from Kansas who used to tell
Speaker 2: me that, you know, Kansas is known as the bread
Speaker 2: basket of the world, that that that we have, we
Speaker 2: have greater potential in this country than than probably people realize.
Speaker 2: We're blessed with natural resources, we're blessed with with the
Speaker 2: ability with land that can produce. You fly over the
Speaker 2: United States and and you look down. Have you ever
Speaker 2: flown across the country Gary, Benny Chance or no?
Speaker 4: No, But I have been on a plane.
Speaker 2: Of course you have no I understand that. But the
Speaker 2: states you get outside of New England and you get
Speaker 2: over Pennsylvania in Ohio and Indiana and Illinois and Missouri
Speaker 2: and Kansas and Colorado, when you look down and you
Speaker 2: realize there's so much land in America, and there's so
Speaker 2: much farm land in America. I'm endorsing the point. I've seen.
Speaker 2: What you just talked about is what I'm trying to say.
Speaker 4: And if I give you a last one, I says,
Speaker 4: I hear you all the time, and I don't want
Speaker 4: to just make almost fun of you. But when you
Speaker 4: always say I'm waiting for the lady callers to call,
Speaker 4: you need to do more woman topics for the women
Speaker 4: to call. And when you do a show that's dedicated
Speaker 4: to the women tonight, tell them what specific date they're
Speaker 4: coming on. I want to hear the women calling more often.
Speaker 4: Because the other thing what somebody I call it called
Speaker 4: and what your producer with Morgan and I said, why
Speaker 4: isn't there more women hosting on radio? Because it's all
Speaker 4: men all the time.
Speaker 2: Agree, No, I don't agree. There's there are women host
Speaker 2: in Boston. Again, I'm not going to go into aims
Speaker 2: and specifics there there. Look, if you look at television
Speaker 2: right now, it's tough to watch a newscast and find
Speaker 2: male anchors. They are a banishing breed. A lot of
Speaker 2: the the television programs have dual female anchors. I remember
Speaker 2: the days when Barbara Walters anchored the network newscast. Then
Speaker 2: it was like, Wow, this is a woman anchoring the news.
Speaker 2: That's not pretty. That's not pretty common. I will tell
Speaker 2: you that if you if you track my callers as
Speaker 2: I do, we get about thirty five to forty five
Speaker 2: percent of our callers of women. I want women to
Speaker 2: call uh, and I want topics that affect everybody. You know,
Speaker 2: occasionally we can pick a topic that may be tilted
Speaker 2: one way or the other. But obviously I'm trying to
Speaker 2: reach a wide audience every night, and I want everybody
Speaker 2: in this audience to feel that they that they will
Speaker 2: be welcome to call this program irrespectful.
Speaker 4: You answered the question, you answered it with a great remark.
Speaker 4: You did a great job. Just now. Last thing, I'll
Speaker 4: just leave it on this note. I thought it was
Speaker 4: a disgrace that George Bush did not shake Donald Trump's
Speaker 4: hand and Milania Trump at the end, Who's gonna be
Speaker 4: the first lady? A second time around? Nobody went down
Speaker 4: to shake our hands. I thought it was a disgrace.
Speaker 4: Thank you for your time.
Speaker 2: Thank you much appreciate the call. I did not I watched.
Speaker 2: I was in and out yesterday and I didn't see
Speaker 2: some of this that went on.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 2: Again, I don't know if they shook hands backstage or
Speaker 2: back in the not backstage in the sacristy of the
Speaker 2: National Cathedral. Obviously they were back there and they had
Speaker 2: that opportunity to But yeah, I was interested, on a
Speaker 2: positive note, to notice how much President Trump and President
Speaker 2: Obama seemed to interact and seemed to enjoy some conversation
Speaker 2: between them between themselves. Next up, join Jim Bill, Rickards
Speaker 2: rather Georgian Bridgewater. Hi George, what's up?
Speaker 4: Hey Dan?
Speaker 7: How you doing.
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 8: If I had the microphone tonight, Uh, I've been waiting
Speaker 8: for doctor Singleton to come on.
Speaker 7: I haven't heard him in a while, so i'd.
Speaker 2: Like, you know doctor Shingleton. Okay, hold On has retired. Uh, yeah,
Speaker 2: it was a fabulous ophthalmologist. Uh we have another ophthalmologist.
Speaker 2: And uh, since you suggested that, I will see if
Speaker 2: we can line up. Are you dealing with some eye
Speaker 2: issues at this point?
Speaker 8: Yeah, because you talked about it several times when you
Speaker 8: had your cataract surgery.
Speaker 7: And I had my cataract.
Speaker 8: Surgery five years ago. I thought it was three, but
Speaker 8: the girl reminded me it was five. And now I
Speaker 8: have to go in for laser surgery to fix the
Speaker 8: scar tissue Monday, Monday morning, and so we may not know.
Speaker 2: That you have scar tissue for the cataract surgery.
Speaker 8: Yes, yeah, and Dian, I use a I know I
Speaker 8: don't use Yahoo.
Speaker 7: I'm on AI before I made this call, and.
Speaker 8: It says forty to fifty of people who have cataracts
Speaker 8: do need correction laser surgery, which I know, I know
Speaker 8: if you needed it, you would have mentioned it because
Speaker 8: I think yours was five, no, six, seven years ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a little bit further than that. Back well,
Speaker 2: I got to be honest with you. You've given me
Speaker 2: a great suggestion, A note of it here, and we
Speaker 2: will get an optimologist on and I wish you joy
Speaker 2: the best of luck on Monday. How long is your
Speaker 2: procedure on Monday?
Speaker 7: Oh, I hear it only the last ten minutes. But
Speaker 7: I'm going to.
Speaker 8: I really don't. I've had very good results with the VA.
Speaker 8: I've been with the VA since nineteen sixty six when
Speaker 8: I got out of the Army. But when I've had
Speaker 8: three different operations of which I won't go into, I
Speaker 8: didn't have very good results. And so this is going
Speaker 8: to be an operation and I really and truly don't
Speaker 8: want a residency rookie doing this on me.
Speaker 7: And let me ask you if I'm going to.
Speaker 2: Be ware, did you have did you have the original
Speaker 2: cataract surgery done at the VA or you haven't done
Speaker 2: at a.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Well look, best of luck on Monday, do me a
Speaker 2: favorite keeping posting. I love to know how it works
Speaker 2: out for you.
Speaker 7: Okay, Oh, thank you very much. Jan. You have a
Speaker 7: good weekend.

Speaker 2: year started off well on Monday. I'll be thinking about you.
Speaker 7: Thanks to Oh yes, sir, Thanks all right, thank you,
Speaker 7: thank you all.
Speaker 2: Right again, ladies, you were more than welcome. Based upon
Speaker 2: m Gary said six one, the only line opener right
Speaker 2: now was six one, seven, two, five, four, ten, thirty.
Speaker 2: Next it just filled. Next up is build in Pennsylvania.
Speaker 2: Hey Bill, how are you tonight?
Speaker 9: Good dad? Half a new year to you and your
Speaker 9: crew up there. You do a great job.
Speaker 2: Well appreciate that. Right back at you. What's uh if
Speaker 2: you were running the show to what what do you
Speaker 2: want to hear that you haven't heard recently?
Speaker 9: Well, see if you can get her name is uh?
Speaker 9: I think doctor Deborah Burke was the She was either
Speaker 9: the CDC head or when the COVID was going on.
Speaker 2: She always remember her, Yeah, I do, I do remember her, yep, I.
Speaker 9: Do, yeah, because she's just resurfaced lately and uh, he's
Speaker 9: given a synopsis of all the failures, okay and what
Speaker 9: they should would have done and and then she went
Speaker 9: into I know you guys had a had a uh
Speaker 9: we're talking about the abbon flew up there. But she
Speaker 9: did then go into uh the uh the bird flu
Speaker 9: and she she specifically said, we're making the same mistakes.
Speaker 9: And I was, I was, I was. I used to
Speaker 9: watch her, you know, she had a that time they
Speaker 9: had a uh news conference about every day. She's the
Speaker 9: lady that wore the real uh colorful scarfs all the time.
Speaker 2: Dan, I remember her, I do, yeah, do me a favor, Bill,
Speaker 2: I'm going to have Rob will give you my direct
Speaker 2: phone number. And if you happened to her name, Uh,
Speaker 2: I think was spelled b U r k E or
Speaker 2: was it spelled differently?
Speaker 9: No, it was spelled differently. It's a it's a a
Speaker 9: Czech Republic name, maybe a Hunger name.
Speaker 2: Was it b I r k I think that might
Speaker 2: have been the way it was spelled.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, so it's a weird spell. I couldn't figure
Speaker 9: that out myself. But how they pronounced it Burke? But
Speaker 9: denber Burke I think is their first name. But I
Speaker 9: think this Abby on Flew, for instance. The gentleman there
Speaker 9: was talking about farming. I'm here in Pennsylvania, and we
Speaker 9: have a problem here, Dan, with our with our our
Speaker 9: drinking water and a lot of a lot of areas.
Speaker 9: And they always tell you it's from agricultural runoffs. Right now,
Speaker 9: what most people don't realize is these farms these days,
Speaker 9: they have these big tanks that they collect the uh
Speaker 9: it's liquid manure. Now, okay, they they make liquid manure
Speaker 9: because it's a lot easier to spread and the worst
Speaker 9: you know what I'm talking.
Speaker 2: About, Dan, Yes, yeah, I'm aware of that.
Speaker 9: And and uh, this doctor Burke was saying about anybody
Speaker 9: that is drinking raw milk. Okay, raw milk.
Speaker 10: Now.
Speaker 9: Up there where you're at, I don't know. But out
Speaker 9: here where we're at, you drive around, you see raw milk,
Speaker 9: raw milk. You know that the farmers are selling raw milk. Now,
Speaker 9: the problem is, okay, that the raw milk if you
Speaker 9: have if they have a cow, okay that has avy
Speaker 9: on flue. This is what she was saying, Uh that
Speaker 9: if if she if they have a cow that has
Speaker 9: avy on flu, because it's already gone, you know, over
Speaker 9: the cows, and so they can't use that milk. But
Speaker 9: what they do is in order to keep the the
Speaker 9: the milking cow alive, they have to milk the cow, okay.
Speaker 9: And they take that milk and they dump it in
Speaker 9: that sewage okay, and then they use that sewage and
Speaker 9: put it on the rest of the crops.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 9: And uh and then and then the birds come by
Speaker 9: and go down and eat the funny ways. I think
Speaker 9: we're gonna I think, And doctor Burke said, it could Okay,
Speaker 9: good dependent.
Speaker 2: Okay, let me jump in let me jump in here. Yeah,
Speaker 2: let me jump in here, bill real quickly. If I can.
Speaker 2: First of all, we talked earlier tonight with a disease
Speaker 2: expert during the eight o'clock hour. Did you listen to
Speaker 2: that by any chance?
Speaker 9: For though, no, no, I was babysitting my grandkids.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, if if over the weekend you go to
Speaker 2: Nightside and Demand and listen to the eight o'clock hour.
Speaker 2: We talked about doctor Daniel Coriskis from Brigham and Women's Hospital.
Speaker 2: He's an infectious disease expert. He was very good. That's
Speaker 2: number one. Number two, I have found contact information. Her
Speaker 2: last name, for the record is spelled b I r x,
Speaker 2: and it is Deborah Burks b I r x uh.
Speaker 2: And we'll try to reach out to her now. It
Speaker 2: looks to me like she might be working. If she's
Speaker 2: working as a commentator for a network, sometimes they're in
Speaker 2: positions even if you reach them, they can only comment
Speaker 2: for the network which employees. Now, so I'll keep you posted.
Speaker 9: But all right, Dan, all right, Hey, thanks a lot.
Speaker 9: And I was right, Okay, Trump one. So but I
Speaker 9: get a lot of information from your show and it
Speaker 9: helps me make my decisions.
Speaker 2: Well, you were right, so you can take a victory lap.
Speaker 2: On January twentieth, for the inaugural okay, And I think
Speaker 2: all of us should at this point hope that he's successful,
Speaker 2: because just like I hoped Joe Biden would be successful,
Speaker 2: which he really was, right, you know, And I just
Speaker 2: so far it's been fairly quiet and fairly peaceful. Let's
Speaker 2: hope the inauguration goes goes well, that he gives a
Speaker 2: speech which reaches out to Democrats and Republicans and independence like,
Speaker 2: and hopefully his success will benefit everyone. Stock market took
Speaker 2: a real hit today, so there's a lot of work
Speaker 2: to be done. Thanks Bill.
Speaker 9: I just I just hope Chris Serviss uh is h
Speaker 9: all around that guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, there's no doubt about that. There's no doubt
Speaker 2: about that. He's uh he said two attempts in last
Speaker 2: year already. And yeah, not even want to I didn't
Speaker 2: even want to think about that, if you know what
Speaker 2: I'm saying. No, no, no, thanks, all right, you know,
Speaker 2: all right, We'll take a break, coming right back only

Speaker 5: they're shooting down this shadow government. It's in the United States.
Speaker 5: They're shooting down one illegally at least a spaceship. I
Speaker 5: am the spaceship yea. And then we're getting me verse
Speaker 5: technology and they have uh, electromagnetic weapons which can vaporize anything.
Speaker 5: You know, it was plane flying all of them.
Speaker 2: They can shoot me a favorite, Do me a favorite
Speaker 2: before we scared the hell out of everybody. Okay, uh,
Speaker 2: if and when this comes to pass, I want you
Speaker 2: to call and say I told you so. And if
Speaker 2: it doesn't happen, which I think it likely is not
Speaker 2: going to happen, I want you to call. I can say, Dan,
Speaker 2: I think that was a bump stereer. I tried to
Speaker 2: give you.
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, but look them up, Janny said, I'm
Speaker 5: telling you it's there's a.
Speaker 2: Lot of guys out there who I I You know,
Speaker 2: I wonder if you could have given me like his credentials,
Speaker 2: I'd be a little more interested. Whack jobber. Do you
Speaker 2: remember the group of people who all committed suicide. Uh,
Speaker 2: this was got about twenty years ago. They all had
Speaker 2: like their little space uniforms on and they they they
Speaker 2: were they were going to be taken up and all
Speaker 2: they did was kill themselves.
Speaker 5: So anyway, Tom, I just want to give you a
Speaker 5: head No, no, you got it, Tom.
Speaker 2: If it happens, I'm gonna put you on. You're gonna
Speaker 2: host an hour of the program talking about the aliens.
Speaker 2: Thanks talking, I go, I have a nice one, Okay,
Speaker 2: good night, Okay. The only lines open right now are six, one, seven, nine, three, one,
Speaker 2: ten thirty. And if you're a space alien out there
Speaker 2: and you'd like to contact us and back Tom up
Speaker 2: on that one, that's fine too. You know when when
Speaker 2: you kind of control the microphone, you get you get
Speaker 2: some strange you get some good calls, you get some
Speaker 2: strange calls. But that's okay. That's what talk radio is
Speaker 2: all about. Talk radio. Maybe it's best, maybe it's worst.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Let me go to Mike and Foxborough.
Speaker 2: Mic you next one night side.
Speaker 11: Welcome, Hey, Dak, can I bring it back down on Earth?
Speaker 2: Well you know something, it's a perfect it for you.
Speaker 2: Just employed bring us back to Earth?
Speaker 11: Go ahead, Mike, okay. So, uh, you know you have
Speaker 11: that show on what's the Year with all the college
Speaker 11: admissions people?
Speaker 2: Yes, the College Admission Show with Bill Fitzpatrick, Bill fitz Fitzsimmons,
Speaker 2: I should say from from Harvard and uh and Grant
Speaker 2: Gosling from from Boston College.
Speaker 11: Oh right, Well, what if you could have all union
Speaker 11: representatives on for all the different trades to give the kids. Uh,
Speaker 11: maybe another path.
Speaker 2: I think that's a great idea. I think that's a
Speaker 2: great idea. What we could do is, I mean, there's
Speaker 2: so many trades out there. We could pick a couple
Speaker 2: and and I'm going to have Rob give you my
Speaker 2: number as well, and maybe you could help me out
Speaker 2: of that. We could pick a couple of trades. We
Speaker 2: could pick you know, maybe a representative of plumbers or
Speaker 2: electricians or whatever.
Speaker 5: I mean.
Speaker 2: The problem is, I can huh, I do all my
Speaker 2: shows now remotely, and the most number of guests I
Speaker 2: can have at any time realistically is two. So right, yeah,
Speaker 2: we could do it period. There's no there's no reason
Speaker 2: that we couldn't do you know, hvact people. Uh and
Speaker 2: in Mason's one one month and do electricians and plumbers
Speaker 2: another month. You know. So yeah, uh, you're a union guy,
Speaker 2: I assume.
Speaker 11: Yeah, but not not in the traditional trades.
Speaker 7: I'm a machinist.
Speaker 11: But I was just thinking, thinking because I myself went
Speaker 11: throwing apprentice program forty years ago and that's what helped
Speaker 11: me get my get my you know, start in the
Speaker 11: in the industry. So and a lot of these trade
Speaker 11: unions have apprentice programs.
Speaker 2: Also, yeah, I mean again, I do want you to
Speaker 2: take my number, and if if you again, I don't
Speaker 2: have a big staff, okay, I mean there's one person reader. Now, yeah,
Speaker 2: I would really appreciate it. Even if you give me
Speaker 2: a couple of contact names and we'll do it on
Speaker 2: one week and see how it works, and then maybe
Speaker 2: a month later we'll try to do it a different
Speaker 2: just expose young people to different ways. The traditional way
Speaker 2: going to college, but there I think, look, I think
Speaker 2: that there's a lot of people who are not necessarily
Speaker 2: cut out for college. And I also think there's a
Speaker 2: lot of people go through college and they get their
Speaker 2: degree in archaeology or sociology and they don't know what
Speaker 2: to do with it, or maybe there's no jobs. You
Speaker 2: get good training in any of the trades, you're going
Speaker 2: to be set for life. Joe, absolutely, absolutely, that is
Speaker 2: a great suggestion, Mike. So please, Rob's going to give
Speaker 2: you my number, call me directly, give you a number
Speaker 2: I can reach back to you during the day and
Speaker 2: we'll be all set.
Speaker 7: Fair enough, Okay, yep, thank you very much.
Speaker 2: Don't hang up, don't hang up. Let's keep rolling here.
Speaker 2: Joe and Lynn Joe, how you doing well.
Speaker 3: I'm hanging in there. I'm still with you.
Speaker 2: Good Joe.
Speaker 3: Tom was interested. Tom was very interesting. I just want
Speaker 3: to give a name, George Knapf. You could look him up.
Speaker 3: He's into the UFOs. Okay, he's at West Now.
Speaker 2: The thing is that there are shows that you deal
Speaker 2: with this all the time. And I forget the name
Speaker 2: of the group, Joe, but there was this group twenty
Speaker 2: years ago, I think they were based in San Diego,
Speaker 2: and they had some wack a doodle guy who said
Speaker 2: the cotton was Bob Haley Bop or something like that
Speaker 2: was the name of it. And they all dressed up
Speaker 2: their little uniforms they look like space uniforms, and he
Speaker 2: had them drink this potion and they all laid down
Speaker 2: and they died, and no spaceship came and picked him up.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of people out there. That's
Speaker 2: why I'm very hesitant to even I.
Speaker 3: Know, and I understand that, but I'm fascinated. I like
Speaker 3: you joke about bot if. I hope there's a victory
Speaker 3: lap and I'm going to take mine on the twenties,
Speaker 3: because remember you used to say Trump is not unelectable. Well,
Speaker 3: he made it. We have to trust him now and
Speaker 3: give him a chance. Like you said, I do you
Speaker 3: like it?
Speaker 2: And by the way, I will admit to you that
Speaker 2: I did not think he was electable, particularly after January
Speaker 2: of sixth of twenty twenty one, on a national basis.
Speaker 3: At least your fair, Dan. We may disagree, but at
Speaker 3: least your fair.
Speaker 2: And I'm also I'm not going to look what I say.
Speaker 2: I say in the radio everybody can hear, so I'm
Speaker 2: not going to be stupid. And is there oh oh?
Speaker 2: I said all along you could win. I didn't think
Speaker 2: I did. On the nomination if he wanted it, I
Speaker 2: said that, yeah, he was lucky to some extent that
Speaker 2: the Democrats had two such very weak candidates. But at
Speaker 2: the same time, he's the president on January twentieth. I
Speaker 2: think everybody should root for his success. Put a side partisanship,
Speaker 2: because if he succeeds, the country succeeds.
Speaker 3: That's right. And stop this hatred. I've never seen so
Speaker 3: much of this. Okay, here is my suggestion on the topic.
Speaker 3: If I were a talk show host and I just
Speaker 3: hope the station doesn't blow up, not only teaving, I
Speaker 3: would like to see you and a lot of other
Speaker 3: do a show on people who with disabilities, who've been marginalized,
Speaker 3: who've had all kinds of unlucky things, And I think
Speaker 3: that would be good because, as you know, a lot
Speaker 3: of us are in the background, and I think different disabilities,
Speaker 3: some vision impaired, some wheelchairs, some other some have made it,
Speaker 3: and why the disability people don't stick together, which they should,
Speaker 3: things would be better.
Speaker 2: I've done shows on disabilities. I've done shows on a
Speaker 2: variety of disabilities over the years, but I can't turn
Speaker 2: my show into a show deals only with disabilities. I've
Speaker 2: done shows, for example, on the accessibility of braille and
Speaker 2: how brail should be more accessible. Every author we have
Speaker 2: on this show, Joe, we try to find out if
Speaker 2: the books that they have are going to be if
Speaker 2: there's going to be an audiobook available. Yeah, We've done
Speaker 2: stuff on the rights of people to have accessibilities. I've
Speaker 2: done shows over the years on many topics, and any
Speaker 2: specific that you want to suggest is fine. We do
Speaker 2: shows on with with doctors oftentimes on people.
Speaker 3: Maybe blindness, maybe we can you can do a show
Speaker 3: on that sometimes and the problems of the blind. Some
Speaker 3: make it and some don't.
Speaker 12: You know.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Again, I have plenty of blind callers. You're one
Speaker 2: of them, as you know, as you know well, and
Speaker 2: anybody who's listening for the first time should know that.
Speaker 2: So yep, we always keep doing an option.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will wait till the twentieth and do my
Speaker 3: big relap on the twentieth.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, thanks Joe, Happy New Year. We're coming
Speaker 2: right back on night Side.
Speaker 1: Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
Speaker 1: to night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 2: All right, we got full lines, which is great, and
Speaker 2: I got to get everybody in, which means everybody's got
Speaker 2: to tighten up. And let's go quickly, Joe Anne and
Speaker 2: wal Dan. Joeanne, you're going to set the pace for us.
Speaker 2: Go right ahead.
Speaker 10: Well I'll be quick. Yeah, I heard George. I don't
Speaker 10: have a suggestion for you, but I heard George. Yes,
Speaker 10: you know about the laser.
Speaker 2: Scar tissuy yep, scar tissue yep.
Speaker 10: I hope he's still listening. My husband had that done
Speaker 10: about a month ago, and it's he sees better than before.
Speaker 2: So let me ask you this.
Speaker 10: And there was no problem, you know, ten minutes, no pain, nothing,
Speaker 10: But I.
Speaker 2: Want to make sure that you understood what George was saying.
Speaker 2: What George was saying was that.
Speaker 10: He had a cataract tissue.
Speaker 2: Right, so he had cataract surgery and then he has
Speaker 2: some scar tissue on his cataract. I guess, so it's
Speaker 2: a it's a secondary uh procedure is that your husband had?
Speaker 10: Yeah, okay, great, he had cat wreck surgery about five
Speaker 10: years ago and he ended up a month ago he
Speaker 10: had scar tissue. Yeah, and the doctor told him it
Speaker 10: can be you know, like like that twenty five can happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how did he realize he had scar tissue? Did
Speaker 2: his well?
Speaker 10: Because it was Yeah, it was kind of blurry. Really, yeah,
Speaker 10: it was kind of blurry. So he saw the doctor
Speaker 10: and the doctor said, yeah, you have scot tissue.
Speaker 2: Well, I had cataract surgery, I guess in seven or
Speaker 2: eight years ago, and it doesn't I have noticed that
Speaker 2: the vision is it was perfectly clear, but it's it's
Speaker 2: it's not as as as perfectly clear as it was.
Speaker 2: And so I'm going to see my doctor actually next
Speaker 2: month in February, and I'm going to ask him that question.
Speaker 2: So I may have I maybe following the same path.
Speaker 2: Did your husband have to do a lot of ointments
Speaker 2: and prep when you when you have the original cataract surgery,
Speaker 2: you have to do some ointments and prep a few
Speaker 2: days ahead of time, and then a few days afterwards.
Speaker 10: No, nothing ahead, but afterwards he did, I dropped for
Speaker 10: like a week.
Speaker 2: Wow, wow, that's been But just like.
Speaker 10: You know, one drop twice a day.
Speaker 2: You know something that for a week fabulous news. That
Speaker 2: is fabulous news for a lot of people out there.
Speaker 2: For some people should ask their optimologists if they feel
Speaker 2: that the vision is getting more cloudy or or blurry.
Speaker 2: Joy and thank you so much. That was a great call.
Speaker 10: And how's your cough? The gone?
Speaker 2: It's still there. No, I'm tying to cough. And Rob
Speaker 2: tries to help me out because I'll go and then
Speaker 2: he'll he'll take the microphone, he'll take the volume down
Speaker 2: a little bit. It's sticking with me. But it's not
Speaker 2: nearly as bad as it was Joe inn So I
Speaker 2: don't love.
Speaker 7: That, all right?
Speaker 10: Thanks, okay, take.
Speaker 2: That, Thank you so much. Let's keep rolling. You're gonna
Speaker 2: go to Albertino in Dorchester. Albertino. How are you tonight?
Speaker 7: I'm doing good?
Speaker 11: Dan?
Speaker 7: How are you?
Speaker 12: First one? I started saying, now you know, I like
Speaker 12: your show. I've ben listen to you for years, so
Speaker 12: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Have you called me before since your first time called?
Speaker 12: No, I called you before.
Speaker 2: Okay, well you'll keep go right ahead, Albertino.
Speaker 7: Go ahead.
Speaker 12: So Dan, I just want to ask you. I'm sure
Speaker 12: you're familiar with the guys from Uh Tom Uh from
Speaker 12: Quinsy that I had. That issue was in court. I'm
Speaker 12: like leaving on the eighth the east work for the city.
Speaker 12: You know, I had to stole some money.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I saw that there was a federal indent
Speaker 2: and came down to a guy who used to work
Speaker 2: for the city of king I don't know anything about
Speaker 2: that case. His last name was Clasby or something like that.
Speaker 12: Yes, no, no, it was just my question to you
Speaker 12: is because you know, I'm sure you didn't. You didn't
Speaker 12: talk about it, and I know that he had. You know,
Speaker 12: they talk about it. Are you going to have any
Speaker 12: show about it?
Speaker 2: Probably not? And I'll tell you why. We tend not
Speaker 2: to go into, you know, cases because they may be
Speaker 2: important to people who know that individual. What is your interest?
Speaker 12: Do you know this guy or no, I don't know
Speaker 12: this guy. But the thing is you guys. Was you
Speaker 12: know when the boss the city council District seven had
Speaker 12: that problem, you had to show about her. Yes, well
Speaker 12: she hadn't understand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well you're talking about Tanya Fernende is right.
Speaker 12: Uh.
Speaker 2: Anderson, Uh, she's an elected she's an elected public official.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 2: And we did plenty of shows about Donald Trump on trial. Uh.
Speaker 2: But this is a guy who, at this point I
Speaker 2: believe is in the private sector. And you know, we
Speaker 2: don't litigate every day. The US Attorney's Office, Uh, indicts
Speaker 2: different people, and we tend not to to litigate, try
Speaker 2: to litigate cases on air. The Karen read case is
Speaker 2: the exception Karen Reid, because it's you know, a homicide
Speaker 2: case has become such a high profile case. So that's
Speaker 2: that's the only answer I can give you, Albertino, and
Speaker 2: I respect that.
Speaker 12: I respect that.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 12: You're doing a good job, and I want to thank you.
Speaker 12: And it was nice talking to you.
Speaker 2: Thank you, great to talk with you. To talk to

Speaker 6: And go ahead, Rick, Yeah, we'll do it fast. It's
Speaker 6: something I've suffered from for over five years. I've learned
Speaker 6: to manage it better. And everyone that I talked seemed
Speaker 6: to talk to has an acid reflux and it seems
Speaker 6: to be such an epidemic. And I've got some good
Speaker 6: insights now. But you know, initially, and I had a
Speaker 6: bunch of gigs before you know, singing, you know, before
Speaker 6: COVID hit and getting through those gigs because it just
Speaker 6: came on and it didn't leave I it used to
Speaker 6: in the past, it was permanent.
Speaker 2: Stay there, Rob, Rob will give you my direct line,
Speaker 2: give me a call during the week. I'll call you
Speaker 2: back and we'll see if we can put something together
Speaker 2: on that fair enough.

Speaker 9: Dan.
Speaker 13: I am doing touch and base on the topic of
Speaker 13: the trades now all climbing my entire life. I've actually
Speaker 13: been up on the busy transmitter out and need him
Speaker 13: and well thought, there's there's a lot of wear and
Speaker 13: tear that gos into the human body, there's neurological diseases,
Speaker 13: there's accidents, and then you're useless, you know.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so just I have a little.
Speaker 13: Community college in my background. I know you're well educated, lawyer.
Speaker 13: I respect your opinion on a lot of stuff, but
Speaker 13: you know, never stop growing yourself. I put myself through
Speaker 13: college at night, paying cash while climbing towers all the day,
Speaker 13: fourteen hours a day.
Speaker 2: For you all glack, I think that's the perfect How
Speaker 2: old are you now?
Speaker 7: I just turned forty.
Speaker 2: Damn, you're a young guy. You're a young guy. How
Speaker 2: long you're gonna be climbing?
Speaker 13: I left, I had to start state in federal class
Speaker 13: action litigation. I had an electrician coming to me, tell
Speaker 13: me he wasn't getting paid correctly. Your company was taken
Speaker 13: to drive time wages. So I actually I started a
Speaker 13: business for myself after we won that litigation, and I
Speaker 13: just do seamless gutters now out in the city of Boston.
Speaker 2: Good for you, John, Good for you. But I think
Speaker 2: what you're saying to me is be careful. Even if
Speaker 2: you have not gone to college, continue your education, which
Speaker 2: is absolutely important, absolutely important. Thank you so much. That
