Speaker 1: It's Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ Boston's news
Speaker 1: radio home.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you very much. We're going to talk about
Speaker 2: a subject that probably many of you are going to say,
Speaker 2: why is Dan talking about this subject? He's supposed to
Speaker 2: talk about politics and things like that. We talk a
Speaker 2: lot about politics during the week. We touched upon some
Speaker 2: of the hot topic issues this week, the Karen Reid trial.
Speaker 2: On Monday night, we talked about all this stuff going
Speaker 2: on at Harvard. On Tuesday night, we talked about the
Speaker 2: judge being arrested, the judges being arrested in Wisconsin, in
Speaker 2: New Mexico, we talked about a due process for Boston
Speaker 2: barber number two. And we had the BZ car guys
Speaker 2: on last night. And so we're going to venture here.
Speaker 2: We're going to put a couple of hours together which
Speaker 2: I hope my sports fans will respond to, and you
Speaker 2: don't have to be a sports fan to respond to
Speaker 2: the first issue at hand. Last Sunday, on the program
Speaker 2: CBS Sunday Morning, which is a great show, there was
Speaker 2: an interview, a long form interview with Bill Belichick, the
Speaker 2: former coach of the New England Patriots, are now the
Speaker 2: coach of the University of North Carolina college football team,
Speaker 2: and Belichick has just written the book called The Art
Speaker 2: of Winning. Donald Trump has the Art of the Deal,
Speaker 2: so Belichick has the Art of Winning. And the interview
Speaker 2: kind of went sideways. Okay, for those of you who
Speaker 2: know the story, Belichick is in a new friendship relationship
Speaker 2: with a woman who's a little younger than he is,
Speaker 2: named Jordan Hudson. Now I'm not making any judgments. I'm
Speaker 2: not making any judgments. Belichick is great football coach, but
Speaker 2: he is also over the years, proven to be, for
Speaker 2: the most part, not the most charming guy dealing with
Speaker 2: the news media and even with the sports media. I
Speaker 2: can remember after the Belichick Patriots football games, even when
Speaker 2: they won, he wasn't what you'd call effusive. He would
Speaker 2: be fairly limited in his answers, and he would get frustrated.
Speaker 2: He had a sense that when he came into the
Speaker 2: media room after a Patriots game, win or lose, he
Speaker 2: wasn't happy to be there, and if they would have lost,
Speaker 2: he really wasn't happy to be there. I used to
Speaker 2: joke around with friends of mine and say, oh, you know,
Speaker 2: the last Billet, the last Belichick coach your team lost today,
Speaker 2: Could you tell us what happened? And Belichick would stare
Speaker 2: at the reporter with a look that if Lukes could kill,
Speaker 2: the reporter was already dead. And he'd say something like
Speaker 2: other teams scored more points, you know, And then the
Speaker 2: poor reporter would try to follow up and say, yeah,
Speaker 2: but I mean, you know, anything of the game that
Speaker 2: you'd want to share with us, and Belichick would again
Speaker 2: look at the reporter with those dead dead look in
Speaker 2: his eyes and say not really, that was his news.
Speaker 2: Those were his news conferences. So he ends up on
Speaker 2: the CBS Sunday morning program. They actually went this was
Speaker 2: done kind of, This was a big effort by CBS.
Speaker 2: Tony D. Koppel, one of the morning anchors Monday through Friday,
Speaker 2: was the one who was assigned the interview to do
Speaker 2: the interview, and they had the interview set up. I
Speaker 2: guess from what it appeared. Belichick's high school in an Napolis, Maryland.
Speaker 2: He grew up in Annapolis because his dad was a
Speaker 2: football coach at the US Naval Academy while he was
Speaker 2: you know, I guess, a young boy and even into
Speaker 2: high school. So whenever there's a good interview, you get
Speaker 2: kind of a good chemical dynamic between the interviewer and
Speaker 2: the interviewee. At least that's the way I felt as
Speaker 2: a TV reporter if you could loosen the interviewee up
Speaker 2: and ask them some questions to which they would either
Speaker 2: rise to debate or they would be willing to accept
Speaker 2: the challenge whatever it was. And sometimes the simplest questions
Speaker 2: were the best. I think of Roger Mudd when he
Speaker 2: interviewed Ted Kennedy for sixty minutes back in nineteen seventy
Speaker 2: nine and Ted Kennedy was clearly thinking about running for
Speaker 2: the White House and challenging Jimmy Carter, and Mud asked
Speaker 2: him a first question out of the box they I
Speaker 2: think the interview was on the grounds of the Kennedy
Speaker 2: compound in Hyennasport, and Mudd asked Senator Kennedy, why do
Speaker 2: you want to be president? Or a question like that,
Speaker 2: and Senator Kennedy started to answer and started and answer
Speaker 2: three or four different ways. It was a really halting
Speaker 2: answer to a simple question. And I think that Botasuta
Speaker 2: became the verbal metaphor for the Kennedy campaign, although he
Speaker 2: did much better as the campaign went on and came
Speaker 2: pretty close to knocking Jimmy Carter off, but didn't it.
Speaker 2: Of course, Ronald Reagan went on to beat Jimmy Carter,
Speaker 2: but put that aside. You could tell that Belichick was
Speaker 2: not particularly comfortable, despite the efforts by the CBS Morning
Speaker 2: news host Tony Takoppel to put him at ease, And
Speaker 2: as he got through the interview, it became apparent, as
Speaker 2: the story he was about an eight or a nine
Speaker 2: minute presentation on TV, that Bill's current companion girlfriend, I
Speaker 2: guess he calls her, his creative muse, was monitoring the interview,
Speaker 2: and apparently there was an agreement or an understanding, maybe
Speaker 2: a misunderstanding, that certain things were not going to be
Speaker 2: talked about. So this was the first cut where the
Speaker 2: interview is interrupted and Belichick is told from off camera
Speaker 2: from his creative mus not to answer a fairly simple question,
Speaker 2: kind of an easy question. This is cut one. Please Andrew,
Speaker 2: please play cut one.
Speaker 3: The other change for Belichick is twenty four year old
Speaker 3: Jordan Hudson, his creative muse. As he writes in his book,
Speaker 3: Jordan was a constant presence during our interview. You have
Speaker 3: Jordan right over there. Everybody in the world seems to
Speaker 3: be following this relationship. They've got an opinion about your
Speaker 3: private life. It's got nothing to do with them, but
Speaker 3: they're invested in it.
Speaker 1: How do you deal with that?
Speaker 4: Never been too worried about what everybody else thanks, just
Speaker 4: to try to do what I feel like is that's
Speaker 4: for me and what's right?
Speaker 5: How did you guys meet? Not talking about this?
Speaker 6: No No.
Speaker 2: Decoppo said that Jordan Hudson was a constant presence. What
Speaker 2: he really meant probably was a kind of a pain
Speaker 2: at the butt. But that's just a reporter trying to
Speaker 2: interpret the phrase that he used. So she basically is
Speaker 2: having quite an impact at a relatively young age on
Speaker 2: coach Bill Belichick. And there's another sound bite which we
Speaker 2: will play we get back, but I want to open
Speaker 2: this up almost in not open line fashion per se,
Speaker 2: But I'd love to know what is your take here?
Speaker 2: Should we really care who Bill Belichick at the age
Speaker 2: of seventy three is dating. I mean, he's a huge
Speaker 2: presence in New England, six super Bowl winning coach, he's
Speaker 2: number two in the all time and we're football crazy
Speaker 2: here in New England. It wasn't always that way, but
Speaker 2: the Patriots are the team of the century. So did
Speaker 2: you watch the interview, are you surprised? I mean, Bill
Speaker 2: Belichick is a guy that I think if anything, he
Speaker 2: controlled his team, He controlled his locker room. The players
Speaker 2: always had to do it the Patriots way. The things
Speaker 2: that Bill Belichick would always say to next man up.
Speaker 2: Some important player got injured and it didn't really face Belichick.
Speaker 2: Next man up, next man up, do your job. You know,
Speaker 2: all those phrases that have been emblazoned in our minds
Speaker 2: came from this guy. And yet on a simple question,
Speaker 2: by the way, they met on an airplane. Apparently they
Speaker 2: were on a flight somewhere to West Pond Beach and
Speaker 2: they sat next to each other. Whether it was open
Speaker 2: seating or whether it was a sign seating, I don't know.
Speaker 2: But your thoughts in your comments, is this something that
Speaker 2: you care about? Is it something that you think is interesting?
Speaker 2: I mean, and if you want to tell me who
Speaker 2: you think is getting the better of the relationship, Clearly
Speaker 2: there's some benefits. What do they say friends with benefits?
Speaker 2: You know, Bill Belichick has a lot of experience, he
Speaker 2: knows a lot about football. I think that Jordan Hudson
Speaker 2: must be able to have some great opportunities to learn
Speaker 2: about football. And I'm sure there are are things that
Speaker 2: she knows about that that helps him. It's probably a
Speaker 2: good mutual, solid relationship. I have no idea where it
Speaker 2: may go or may not go, but at this point,
Speaker 2: the creative mus is calling the shots. We'll take a
Speaker 2: quick break. I'm gonna open up the phone lines. I'd
Speaker 2: like to talk about this just for an hour. Is
Speaker 2: it something that you care about. I bet a lot
Speaker 2: of you don't feel free to call and tell me
Speaker 2: you don't care about it. I think it's interesting because
Speaker 2: I think, in all honesty, there are a lot of
Speaker 2: people talking about that this week. And I'd love to
Speaker 2: know what you what you thought about it, and what
Speaker 2: your friends thought about it. Six And I want the
Speaker 2: ladies particularly. I know this is football. This is really
Speaker 2: not a football story. This is a romance story. When
Speaker 2: you think about it. Older man, younger woman, you get it.
Speaker 2: Six one seven, two, five, four ten thirty six one seven, nine,
Speaker 2: three one ten thirty. My name is Dan Ray. This
Speaker 2: is a Friday night. We're gonna we lighten up a
Speaker 2: little bit. We can have a little bit of fun
Speaker 2: with this. We don't have to make fun of people
Speaker 2: it's a serious relationship. If you've seen some of the
Speaker 2: pictures of Bill and the fisherman's suit, uh and Jordan
Speaker 2: dressed up as some sort of mermaid fish that he
Speaker 2: has caught at the ocean, it's if you follow this stuff,
Speaker 2: it's it's interesting and that's why we're talking about it.
Speaker 2: And I'm back. We're back on Nightside.
Speaker 1: Right after this, you're on night Side with Dan Ray
Speaker 1: on WBZ, Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2: There's one other SoundBite that I'm going to play, but
Speaker 2: I don't want to tie people up, so let's get
Speaker 2: to the phone see what they have to talk about.
Speaker 2: And by the way, for those of you that do
Speaker 2: not realize this, we have two phone numbers here on
Speaker 2: night Side. One is the traditional six one, seven, two
Speaker 2: thirty number. However, we also have another number that those
Speaker 2: lines are full. Those three lines are full. We have
Speaker 2: two additional lines at six one, seven, nine, three, one,
Speaker 2: ten thirty, so feel free. The only line that is
Speaker 2: opening is at six one seven. Let me go to Romeo.
Speaker 2: Perfect name for a first for a first caller on
Speaker 2: this topic. Romeo, how are you tonight?
Speaker 5: Very good?
Speaker 2: Is that actually Romeo? Is that actually your name? We're
Speaker 2: talking about a romantic relationship or have you a doctor?
Speaker 5: It's oh, it's Romeo.
Speaker 2: Good for you. Okay, that's a great name. The ladies
Speaker 2: must have My.
Speaker 5: Mother, My mother thought of it. You know, I love it.
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you. I'll bet you did. You did
Speaker 2: very well with the ladies with a name like that.
Speaker 5: Divorced twice, but that's all right.
Speaker 2: You got to keep working at it.
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, I should have met somebody like Jordan. I'll
Speaker 5: tell you, I was reading it.
Speaker 2: If you had wat six super bowls, Romeo, if you
Speaker 2: if you would won six super Bowls, you might have
Speaker 2: go ahead of only kidding.
Speaker 5: Well, she has no trouble getting the first down or
Speaker 5: doing an end run. I'll tell you why I was
Speaker 5: just reading. I was just reading online. She has eight
Speaker 5: million dollars in real estate holdings in Boston. Did you
Speaker 5: read that?
Speaker 2: I heard it. I didn't read it, but I got
Speaker 2: to tell you she obviously is must be a very
Speaker 2: good real estate investor.
Speaker 5: She must be very smart. She must either twenty.
Speaker 2: Jesus yeah, or she has you know, benefited from the laws, yes,
Speaker 2: of her parents. I don't know. I don't know anything
Speaker 2: about her. Is she a Boston woman. Do you know
Speaker 2: that since you seem to know a little bit more
Speaker 2: about her, she is a Bostonian or a New Englander.
Speaker 5: I think she grew up in Maine, and I think
Speaker 5: she went to school down on Bridgewater. And you might
Speaker 5: want to google where mom works down at Provincetown. I
Speaker 5: won't say it over the radio, but it's very interesting
Speaker 5: with line of work she's in, but you can google that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's another back, Romeo. You've done some work on this,
Speaker 2: and I very much appreciate the work.
Speaker 5: You feel like I'm a field correspondent for the d ratio.
Speaker 2: Well, you know something, Romeo, I have several correspondents, and
Speaker 2: you can become you could you know how they have
Speaker 2: some of these shows like TMZ where they deal with
Speaker 2: the issues that are maybe a little more salacious than
Speaker 2: what we normally deal with. I could easily make you
Speaker 2: our celebrity carrespondent, not only for NATIC but for Eastern Massachusetts.
Speaker 5: I mean, let me ask you a quick question. Sure,
Speaker 5: do you think if if Bill was a mailman or
Speaker 5: a clerk and a supermarket do you think Jordan would
Speaker 5: still feel the same way about him?
Speaker 2: Okay, let me, okay, let me try to make sure
Speaker 2: I give you an honest answer on that one. So
Speaker 2: what you're saying is if he wasn't Bill Belichick that
Speaker 2: we knew of, coach of the Patriots and all of that,
Speaker 2: if he worked in a I don't know, you know,
Speaker 2: you said mail, or a clerk in the supermarket not
Speaker 2: knowing Jordan. Well, I've never met the woman, never, don't
Speaker 2: know her at all. That's impossible for me to answer, Romeo,
Speaker 2: to be honest.
Speaker 5: Would you like to know what? No, watch your wallet,
Speaker 5: watch your wallet if you do.
Speaker 2: Meter, No, she's I don't see why you say that.
Speaker 2: If she's got eight million in real estate holdings, why.
Speaker 5: Would you be smart?
Speaker 2: Very smart? And and yeah, I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 2: I think that they're both very lucky to have found
Speaker 2: each other at this point in their lives. It just
Speaker 2: happened that they both were single.
Speaker 5: It's just I'm sure they're in the I'm sure they're
Speaker 5: in the huddle right now, or we'll be sown.
Speaker 2: Oh the huddle. Oh I get you. Okay, that's that's
Speaker 2: pretty clever, Romeo. You got to wonder who's calling the
Speaker 2: place though. We'll see, we'll see, Romie. I loved your
Speaker 2: call man. This was one of the top calls of
Speaker 2: the year, never mind the week.
Speaker 5: Okay, she's a quarterback sneaker that one.
Speaker 2: Okay, Romeo, you caught the drift. You caught the drift.
Speaker 2: We're thinking the same thing. All right, We're gonna take
Speaker 2: a quick break. We will be back with poor phone
Speaker 2: calls and more conversation. Right after this, it's Night Side.
Speaker 1: With Dan Ray and Boston's news Radio.
Speaker 2: Back to the phones we go, and we go to
Speaker 2: Ellen in Brighton. Ellen, welcome next to a night Side.
Speaker 2: We're talking about Bill Belichick and George.
Speaker 7: I'm sorry, I'm a little bit nervous. I've never done
Speaker 7: this before.
Speaker 5: Well, I love.
Speaker 7: Your show, very interesting. You know, I realize this is
Speaker 7: some sort of form of entertainment, but I just think
Speaker 7: it's a little bit sad that we, you know, everything
Speaker 7: going on in the world that we're people will get
Speaker 7: sort of obsessed or amused or whatever with other people's
Speaker 7: sex lives. I mean, who is who can know something?
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, don't be nervous. That's your first
Speaker 2: time calling.
Speaker 7: I am Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, we got to give you a out of the
Speaker 2: cost of to get a standing ovation. Thank you very much.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Well, you think you have to thank the
Speaker 2: audience that that's that's who gave you the plus. Look,
Speaker 2: here's the deal. We do a lot of serious stuff.
Speaker 7: There was a lot of sus.
Speaker 2: We do a lot of serious stuff during the week,
Speaker 2: and we try to lighten up a little bit on Friday.
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, and I have to believe,
Speaker 2: and maybe I'm wrong, but I have to believe wherever
Speaker 2: people were this week, Belichick, actually this was brilliantly done
Speaker 2: when you think about it, by Belichick and by Jordan Hudson,
Speaker 2: because it's apparently public knowledge that they happened to meet
Speaker 2: on an airplane. Okay, a lot of people meet airplane.
Speaker 2: But as soon as the reporter slash morning anchor Sunday Morning,
Speaker 2: who was who really is an anchor during the week?
Speaker 2: Tony Duopel does he asked that question, she shut him down.
Speaker 2: She said, not talking about this, and and.
Speaker 7: I don't know why they would do that, I mean,
Speaker 7: it's common knowledge.
Speaker 2: Well, I think she was afraid that she's smart cookie,
Speaker 2: a smart person. I think that she was afraid that
Speaker 2: one question would lead to another question, to another question.
Speaker 2: And I think that she's decided it's almost like a
Speaker 2: judge in the courtroom. We're not going there and and
Speaker 2: someone objects, objection, substained, sustained. So she basically controlled the
Speaker 2: interview brilliantly.
Speaker 7: All right, why did they go on there in the
Speaker 7: first place that this was going to be asked?
Speaker 2: Well, no, they went on to sell books, Okay, which
Speaker 2: they have.
Speaker 7: I didn't see the interview.
Speaker 2: Well, he's selling his book. A book is called The
Speaker 2: Art of Winning, and so he has, uh, you know,
Speaker 2: he's he's not going to Belichick isn't going to do
Speaker 2: one hundred interviews on the book. A lot of authors
Speaker 2: will do one hundred interviews. Because he's Bill Belichick, he
Speaker 2: can do three or four big interviews and he blankets
Speaker 2: you know that he gets to the people he wants
Speaker 2: to wants to get to. The book is called the
Speaker 2: Art of Winning. So they got the interview, they got
Speaker 2: the publicity, and then in addition, by not answering that question,
Speaker 2: they got a pile of follow on publicity, which was brilliant.
Speaker 7: Any publicity is good, publicity good, bad, and different whatever
Speaker 7: it is.
Speaker 5: Well in this.
Speaker 2: Case, yeah, I mean when somebody gets indicted for something,
Speaker 2: that's not good publicity. But you know what I'm saying, yeah,
Speaker 2: as if.
Speaker 7: You're everybody knows about them, then they get to sign.
Speaker 2: Well, that's true, but I don't know. There's a lot
Speaker 2: of people. We had a fellow on last night at
Speaker 2: nine o'clock who had spent time in prison, form of
Speaker 2: state representative, who's really I admired because he's come out
Speaker 2: and I think he's getting his life back together and
Speaker 2: he's trying to turn it in more positive. He was.
Speaker 2: He went in because he had an addiction to gambling.
Speaker 2: Representative former Representative Dave Nango. I really respect and admire
Speaker 2: what he's trying, what he's trying to do here, but
Speaker 2: but beyond that, So, yeah, that's what we're talking about. It. It
Speaker 2: prompted you to call, which is great. Was there anyone
Speaker 2: in your circle?
Speaker 7: My boy My boyfriend's downstairs and he's the big football person,
Speaker 7: and I said, I'm calling dent Rich. He's like, they're
Speaker 7: gonna be on there along. You're gonna be waiting a
Speaker 7: long time. I said, I.
Speaker 2: Don't wait that long. You weren't waiting that long.
Speaker 7: No, I wasn't waiting that long at all.
Speaker 2: Ellen. I'm so glad you call. Thank you so.
Speaker 7: Much, Thank you very welcome. Have a good night.
Speaker 2: You too, would do me a favorite callback anytime, call
Speaker 2: back anytime.
Speaker 7: Okay, I might just do that.
Speaker 2: I would appreciate it. Thanks, Alan, have a good one.
Speaker 7: Thank you, Thanks, good night all.
Speaker 2: Let me keep rolling here, gonna go to Patty in
Speaker 2: the car. Patty in the car. Oh, I figured this
Speaker 2: was Patty. Patty, you, I know, are gonna have some
Speaker 2: insight that most people would not have. Give us your insight.
Speaker 7: Please, okay, ready, don I'm ready.
Speaker 6: Thank you for.
Speaker 8: I wanted to just tell you you could love whoever
Speaker 8: you are to love. And if you're asked a question,
Speaker 8: it's not what you say, but it's how you say it.
Speaker 8: And honestly, I was sewing away and I heard her
Speaker 8: snarpy little voice.
Speaker 4: And I went, oh my god.
Speaker 6: That wasn't nice.
Speaker 8: She could have said, oh, you know what, we agree
Speaker 8: to not talk about this, yeah, and or in a
Speaker 8: nice way. Not it was very sharp.
Speaker 2: It was an imperious tone. It was we're not talking
Speaker 2: about this, and de cooppo said. The reporter said no,
Speaker 2: and she said no. End of conversation. That's my car,
Speaker 2: that's my editor. Oil comment. Pretty affection. Where where the boss?
Speaker 1: She's a boss?
Speaker 8: Gleen and you know what, honestly, by the guy, I
Speaker 8: look like her, I'm so much younger.
Speaker 7: I'd let her probably.
Speaker 2: Take the ring too.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 7: Maybe that's what happens.
Speaker 8: Right These young people, the young ns are very snarpy
Speaker 8: and very okay to like, not be diplomatic and soft
Speaker 8: and gentle.
Speaker 2: They're just harsh. I notice it. Well, you you you
Speaker 2: you nailed that, and I think a lot of people
Speaker 2: would agree with you as to what that was all about.
Speaker 2: I was very surprised that the now Belichick through the
Speaker 2: football program down at You and See, released a statement
Speaker 2: saying that this went beyond the bounds that they had
Speaker 2: agreed upon. That's what the Belichick camp was saying, while
Speaker 2: CBS said, no, there was no agreement. We didn't say that,
Speaker 2: you know, you know, we didn't say we're not going
Speaker 2: to talk about this, we're not going to talk about this.
Speaker 2: But guess what they got the interview. Belichick got publicity
Speaker 2: for the book, and we're talking about it Friday night,
Speaker 2: five nights after Sunday.
Speaker 8: So right, we've been talking about it all week.
Speaker 4: And you know what, why.
Speaker 8: Can't she tell where they met?
Speaker 2: Why do you have to be why do you have
Speaker 2: to Okay, here's here's my thought. My thought is that
Speaker 2: that he's not the most outgoing guy in the world.
Speaker 2: You know that just from having watched him here in
Speaker 2: New England for twenty years, more than twenty years, and
Speaker 2: she probably looked at that as an opened the door
Speaker 2: question that that might lead to other questions. That's the
Speaker 2: only thing I can think of. I mean, he could
Speaker 2: have said, you know, you know, the truth was they
Speaker 2: met on it supposedly on an airplane and okay, so
Speaker 2: that's I think what the truth is. Because Ed, well,
Speaker 2: you know, I had the good fortunate of sitting next
Speaker 2: to Jordan and we struck up a conversation. Well, no
Speaker 2: matter what he says, then decoppo might have said, what
Speaker 2: was that conversation about?
Speaker 5: You know, you could have gone down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it could have gone down. It's almost a
Speaker 2: similar of judge in the court of law when when
Speaker 2: when a question is asked of a witness and the
Speaker 2: question is deemed to be uh irrelevant, Uh, the lawyer
Speaker 2: who represents the witness jumps up and him Jackson says,
Speaker 2: you're on, ob Jack, what's the ground's relevance? You know,
Speaker 2: if the if the judge says sustained then that that
Speaker 2: that course of questioning is precluded, and maybe that's what
Speaker 2: she was doing. Just the thought, just the thought, Patty,
Speaker 2: it is always so great. It is always so great
Speaker 2: to hear from you, your voice.
Speaker 4: I hope all is well, you know, you know, and.
Speaker 8: I hope one day our past cross and we streak
Speaker 8: up a conversation for hours, because you are the best.
Speaker 2: Well, I will always rick it nice your voice, and
Speaker 2: we don't live that for a week. We could always
Speaker 2: someday maybe grab a cup of coffee in the morning. Okay,
Speaker 2: I would love it.
Speaker 8: I would meet you anywhere.
Speaker 7: I would love that. I know I know.
Speaker 2: From previous calls where you are. So we're we're not
Speaker 2: that far. We're not that far apart. And I love
Speaker 2: to meet my listeners. We had that event last Sunday
Speaker 2: down at the restaurant Neuroli's in Westwood. We had one
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy eight listeners come to that event. Oh,
Speaker 2: I wish I knew. I would have loved that. Oh,
Speaker 2: we talked about it for weeks. We talked about it
Speaker 2: for weeks. Patty, you would have been joined.
Speaker 5: It was a great.
Speaker 8: Yes, I'm the last to hear everything, but.
Speaker 2: That's okay, right, all right, Patty, thank you so much.
Speaker 2: Have a great weekend to join this.
Speaker 8: Wonderful week Thanks Patty.
Speaker 2: Bye bye. Let me go to Susanna and Susanne you
Speaker 2: were next on Nightside. Want to get your perspective in here?
Speaker 2: Go right ahead.
Speaker 6: Well, I will say not. My husband was the same,
Speaker 6: friend Romeo, but thank you for taking by.
Speaker 9: Well.

Speaker 4: I've been listening to you for fifty years.
Speaker 2: So your first your first time caller.

Speaker 11: She's a little old Greek lady.
Speaker 4: She used to watch you all the time, every every night,
Speaker 4: Dan Ray and whoever else was on the show. And
Speaker 4: she knew if she knew I was talking to you
Speaker 4: right now, she'd probably flip out. But I had to
Speaker 4: pull over before I wrecked my car just to just
Speaker 4: to get my bearings together to talk about this nonsense.
Speaker 4: I'm herring, okay, and I think it's just nonsense. And
Speaker 4: you know what my father used to say, Nick, if
Speaker 4: you're like live long enough, you'll see it all. I've
Speaker 4: seen it all. I'm an attorney.
Speaker 11: You're a lawyer. Yep, you know I've seen these things
Speaker 11: play out.
Speaker 4: You know, he's seventy three, she's twenty four. Okay, he's
Speaker 4: got a couple of bucks.
Speaker 11: She's okay looking.
Speaker 4: She's not the greatest looking chick, but she's got him
Speaker 4: wrapped inside.
Speaker 2: I think she's pretty. I think for the pictures i've seen, Nick,

Speaker 4: I mean back when you were twenty four year old,
Speaker 4: you're a more handsome guy.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, men age. Men have the advantage of
Speaker 2: aging more gracefully. Any woman over fifty will tell you that.
Speaker 2: You know that. I don't agree with that, but that's okay.
Speaker 11: Listen, you went to law school.
Speaker 4: I've seen this. I'm seeing this down the trough. There
Speaker 4: is an agenda, Hair, there's somewhere here an agenda. This
Speaker 4: is not about love, This is not about nothing. This
Speaker 4: guy is not an adonis. You know, he's not fabio
Speaker 4: with long hair and big muscles. He's got a couple
Speaker 4: of bucks. He was an okay coach. Thank god he
Speaker 4: had Brady with him, because you're right, You're right.
Speaker 11: He would have been a loser.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I'll tell you if if he and Brady
Speaker 2: had gone to single clubs when when they both were single,
Speaker 2: he could have been Brady's wing man. He would have
Speaker 2: been he would have done okay.
Speaker 4: But the but the problem that I see, yeah, and
Speaker 4: I only look at as a as a legal problem,
Speaker 4: is that there is an agenda. There is going to
Speaker 4: be something down the road. And mock this on your
Speaker 4: calendar today. There's some somewhere down the road. It only
Speaker 4: takes and you know this very well, one wrong accusation,
Speaker 4: a one wrong mistake, and this poor guy is going
Speaker 4: to find himself in hot water and he's not going
Speaker 4: to be able to get out of well.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, you never know. What I always like
