00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:03.879
<v Speaker 1>It's nice size. We did Ray and Undoing and Mazy

2
00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Boston's News Radio.

3
00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:10.160
<v Speaker 2>Thanks very much, Al Griffin. Yet five areas ever, is

4
00:00:10.240 --> 00:00:12.759
<v Speaker 2>tough to win a game. Tough tough to win a game.

5
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.519
<v Speaker 2>But hey, tomorrow's another day. It's still early. It's as

6
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:19.600
<v Speaker 2>simple as that. It's still early. Okay, we have reached

7
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:23.359
<v Speaker 2>the twentieth hour, and I think everybody who listens to

8
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:25.679
<v Speaker 2>Night's I knows it. In the twentieth hour, we try

9
00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:28.480
<v Speaker 2>to lighten things up a little bit, get you to

10
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:33.079
<v Speaker 2>the weekend with some positive phone calls, and so we

11
00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:36.039
<v Speaker 2>will do brushes with celebrity tonight. Haven't done it in

12
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:39.079
<v Speaker 2>about three months. It happens to be my favorite topic.

13
00:00:39.240 --> 00:00:42.880
<v Speaker 2>I came up with the topic many many years ago.

14
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm quite proud of it, and I'm quite proud of

15
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:48.920
<v Speaker 2>some of the callers that we have who have met

16
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.679
<v Speaker 2>some very interesting people under different circumstances. Sometimes that met

17
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:55.719
<v Speaker 2>him outside of baseball park, sometimes that met him on

18
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:58.520
<v Speaker 2>the streets, sometimes they've been on an airplane. I want

19
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:01.000
<v Speaker 2>to know the most interesting person and the most interesting

20
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:04.400
<v Speaker 2>celebrity that you have met, and also whether or not

21
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:06.719
<v Speaker 2>they treated you well. So we call that the good

22
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:10.000
<v Speaker 2>the bad and the ugly. I mean, if someone who

23
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:16.319
<v Speaker 2>had some celebrity was gracious and kind, that's great. If

24
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:19.680
<v Speaker 2>they were a jerk, you could tell us they were

25
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.840
<v Speaker 2>a jerk, simple as that. So suffice it to say,

26
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:27.680
<v Speaker 2>we will open up the phone lines as always six

27
00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:30.319
<v Speaker 2>one seven, two, five, four ten thirty, six one seven

28
00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:33.280
<v Speaker 2>nine three one ten thirty. And by the way, the

29
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:36.000
<v Speaker 2>celebrity that you met doesn't have to be the Queen

30
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:39.840
<v Speaker 2>of England. I mean all of us in our lives

31
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:42.719
<v Speaker 2>have bumped into someone who was a celebrity. It might

32
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:46.159
<v Speaker 2>be a local athlete, it might be an actor, it

33
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:51.599
<v Speaker 2>could be a singer. Sometimes it's a politician. And what

34
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:56.159
<v Speaker 2>was your experience? That's the it's it's just I think

35
00:01:56.239 --> 00:02:00.239
<v Speaker 2>it's a great topic. We have two lines six one seven, two, five,

36
00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:02.680
<v Speaker 2>four ten thirty and six one seven nine three one

37
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:06.000
<v Speaker 2>ten thirty. As we line up our phone calls. What

38
00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:07.680
<v Speaker 2>I would like to do, as I often do, is

39
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:09.639
<v Speaker 2>there's one to kind of review the week a little

40
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:13.199

177
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:00.279
<v Speaker 6>the ones that stand out in my mind are Dicky

178
00:10:00.320 --> 00:10:03.200
<v Speaker 6>Betts and Dan Toller of the album Brothers Band.

179
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:10.320
<v Speaker 2>I haven't realize Yeah right, yeah, they were huge.

180
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:13.759
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, my brother lives down in Florida, and he became

181
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:17.759
<v Speaker 6>friends with Kim Betts, which is Dicky Dicky's daughter. And

182
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:20.159
<v Speaker 6>in twenty fourteen, I got a phone call from my

183
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.080
<v Speaker 6>brother and I got my huge Alvin Brother's fan and

184
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:25.000
<v Speaker 6>so it was my brother and he said, you got

238
00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:13.960
<v Speaker 6>championship here in Ontario. I'm going back to nineteen seventy six,

239
00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:16.519
<v Speaker 6>and he was our ringer on our team. I mean

240
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:19.519
<v Speaker 6>in Mitchell hockey. The guy would score from the redline.

241
00:13:19.519 --> 00:13:22.200
<v Speaker 6>I kid you not. And so like, right in the

242
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:25.279
<v Speaker 6>middle of the Old maj playoffs, like we're on the road

243
00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:27.639
<v Speaker 6>to win the championship. We ended up pointing it. But

244
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:31.000
<v Speaker 6>the Kingston Canadians, which is the Ohl club up here

245
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:34.600
<v Speaker 6>at Junior Club, they came and shouted him and they

246
00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:36.159
<v Speaker 6>took him from us that year. And I'm like, oh

247
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:38.559
<v Speaker 6>my god, you guys can't do that. You're killing us here.

248
00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:41.600
<v Speaker 2>But tell you what he had. He had four fifty

249
00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:46.559
<v Speaker 2>plus goal seasons from eighty three and eighty four through

250
00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:53.200

251
00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:56.960
<v Speaker 2>fifty eight, and fifty eight. That's pretty consistent. Whoa a

274
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:08.960

275
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:11.919
<v Speaker 8>gas station, a Texico station on the left. It says

276
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:16.960

290
00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:07.360
<v Speaker 8>He says, was Rico in there?

291
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:08.120
<v Speaker 2>And I says he was?

292
00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:11.039

298
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:25.120
<v Speaker 8>Rico Petrocelli and I shake it. Rico didn't say a word,

299
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:26.080

321
00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:34.000
<v Speaker 10>years as a professional clown and magician. And I traveled

322
00:17:34.079 --> 00:17:37.119
<v Speaker 10>to New York City to buy magic one day and

323
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:40.039
<v Speaker 10>the owner of the magic studio says, boy, am I

324
00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:42.720
<v Speaker 10>glad to see you. He says, I got somebody in

325
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:45.160
<v Speaker 10>the other room that you've got to come in and

326
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:47.759
<v Speaker 10>teach him to do some magic. Yeah, the bests in

327
00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:50.759
<v Speaker 10>New England, he says, come on in. So I walked

328
00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:54.319
<v Speaker 10>into this room totally blind to who is going to

329
00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:58.640
<v Speaker 10>be there, and the guy goes, hey, camp. I brought

330
00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:02.279
<v Speaker 10>in the best clown magician I could find, the teacher

331
00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:06.119
<v Speaker 10>to do some magic, and he turned around his muhammad

332
00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:06.480
<v Speaker 10>a lead.

333
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:07.599
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

334
00:18:09.000 --> 00:18:12.200
<v Speaker 10>He shook hands and his hands swallowed mine.

335
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:13.039
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

336
00:18:13.519 --> 00:18:16.680
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, he had the hand like you wouldn't believe. I said, boy,

337
00:18:16.720 --> 00:18:20.079
<v Speaker 10>with hands like that, we can disappear anything. And we

338
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:25.000
<v Speaker 10>spent I spent six hours going over children's magic with him.

339
00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:28.759
<v Speaker 10>Not many people mill it, but he was a great philanthropist.

340
00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:32.039
<v Speaker 10>He used to take kids from Hollam to his training

341
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:36.799
<v Speaker 10>camp and he'd give them a free summer of camping, food, clothing, everything,

342
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:40.160
<v Speaker 10>and he would go there about once a week or

343
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:43.519
<v Speaker 10>once a month or whenever he could and do magic

344
00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:44.000
<v Speaker 10>for them.

345
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:44.759
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

346
00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:47.079
<v Speaker 10>And so that's why he wanted to learn magic. And

347
00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:49.799
<v Speaker 10>when he got through, when he got through doing the

348
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:53.039
<v Speaker 10>magic and so forth, he said, what do you want

349
00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:57.079
<v Speaker 10>picked anything in the store of yours And I said no,

350
00:18:57.319 --> 00:18:59.400
<v Speaker 10>I said, the only thing I want is an autograph.

351
00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:03.000
<v Speaker 10>So he signed to one of the magic catalogs for me,

352
00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:05.839

<v Speaker 2>Where you meet Tyson?

408
00:22:00.599 --> 00:22:03.519
<v Speaker 9>He was at the Patriots game in Miami with a son.

409
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:08.799
<v Speaker 2>Mike Tyson. How did Tyson treat you?

410
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:10.359
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

411
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:11.359
<v Speaker 11>He was nice.

412
00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:14.240
<v Speaker 9>It's like he stops the pitches and you know he

413
00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:17.400
<v Speaker 9>you know, he was going through the tunnel to get in.

414
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:19.519
<v Speaker 9>You know, because I was on the field, I get

415
00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:22.839
<v Speaker 9>to go to the warm up in Miami, so he,

416
00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:25.039
<v Speaker 9>you know, wanted to get in the tunnel. I think,

417
00:22:25.200 --> 00:22:27.720
<v Speaker 9>you know, to go talk to the players because they

418
00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:31.319
<v Speaker 9>it was like towards the end. But the funny thing

419
00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:35.359
<v Speaker 9>that happened this year, I took my eight year old grandson.

420
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:39.519
<v Speaker 9>So he's obsessed with Tyreek Hill. So because we were

421
00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:42.039
<v Speaker 9>there with the Patriots, I told him, please don't put

422
00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:46.519
<v Speaker 9>on the jersey until, you know, maybe the game starts. Well,

423
00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:49.599
<v Speaker 9>an hour after being on the field, he put on

424
00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:53.200
<v Speaker 9>the Tyreek jersey. Well, just as he did that, bought

425
00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:55.759
<v Speaker 9>Craft comes out and I don't know why he thinks

426
00:22:55.759 --> 00:22:58.640
<v Speaker 9>he knows me, but he comes over, gives me a hug,

427
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:02.960
<v Speaker 9>and then he fist bumped like a lot of people

428
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:06.720
<v Speaker 9>that were there. So then my grandson was standing in

429
00:23:06.759 --> 00:23:09.440
<v Speaker 9>there with his fist up and so I said to him, oh,

430
00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:12.359
<v Speaker 9>this is my grandson Payton. And he looked them up

431
00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:15.880
<v Speaker 9>and down and he kept walking, and so my grandson

432
00:23:16.000 --> 00:23:18.759
<v Speaker 9>yelled to him and he goes, you're gonna read me

433
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:23.200
<v Speaker 9>hanging Bob, and everybody started laughing. He because he was

434
00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:27.079
<v Speaker 9>living a Dolphin jersey. He wouldn't pay absolutely.

435
00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:29.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's like you got to come dressed properly.

436
00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:33.160
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, eight years old, and he knows he had the

437
00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:36.039
<v Speaker 9>Brady jersey on before, you know, like.

438
00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:41.440
<v Speaker 2>You, Bob Kraft is the Patriots older he I'm sure

439
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:44.759
<v Speaker 2>he felt a little disrespected. Well, Scott Zolac is a

440
00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:47.279
<v Speaker 2>good guy too. Zolac is one of the real good

441
00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:48.240
<v Speaker 2>guys in the business.

442
00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:49.359
<v Speaker 3>So uh oh.

443
00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:53.160
<v Speaker 9>I met Mike Tyson in the hotel and he turns

444
00:23:53.200 --> 00:23:56.240
<v Speaker 9>around to me and he goes, aren't you Diane. And

445
00:23:56.599 --> 00:24:00.880
<v Speaker 9>my grandson's like, how do you know football players.

446
00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:03.279
<v Speaker 2>Do what you tell him? What you tell him?

447
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:05.400
<v Speaker 9>I said, well, you know, I've been working there for

448
00:24:05.440 --> 00:24:07.559
<v Speaker 9>twenty five years, so of course I know them.

449
00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:10.119
<v Speaker 2>You bet you, you bet you great.

450
00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:13.160
<v Speaker 9>I loved David ninety four. You know he got like

451
00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:15.920
<v Speaker 9>eleven autographs, like all the players were so nice.

452
00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Dam But you know, Diane, you and I could do

453
00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:22.200
<v Speaker 2>brushes with celebrity every night for the next year and

454
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:23.039
<v Speaker 2>you could come up with it.

455
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:26.440
<v Speaker 9>But people don't know my friend Diane.

456
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:29.119
<v Speaker 2>By Diane has worked a lot of the events around

457
00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:31.640
<v Speaker 2>the country. That is how she makes her living, moving

458
00:24:31.680 --> 00:24:36.440
<v Speaker 2>from rock concerts to two big events of all all

459
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:39.640
<v Speaker 2>types and sizes. Diane, I got packed lines, so I

460
00:24:39.640 --> 00:24:40.440
<v Speaker 2>got to let get go.

461
00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:42.759
<v Speaker 9>But now I know that I thought you would like that,

462
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:44.000
<v Speaker 9>and I wanted to say.

463
00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:47.119
<v Speaker 2>Hi absolutely and say hi to Peyton for us. Okay,

464
00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:50.599
<v Speaker 2>thanks so much. I will talk to you soon. Let's

465
00:24:50.640 --> 00:24:53.400

466
00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:55.720
<v Speaker 2>were next on Nightside. I always good to hear from Watertown.

467
00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:57.440
<v Speaker 2>Who's your brush with celebrity? David?

468
00:24:57.480 --> 00:25:00.720
<v Speaker 12>Oh, Dan, I'm a long time, first time caller.

469
00:25:01.160 --> 00:25:03.759
<v Speaker 2>This is your first time when we got at the studio,

470
00:25:03.839 --> 00:25:06.160
<v Speaker 2>audience and stop giving you a standing ovation.

471
00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:09.640
<v Speaker 12>I've been listening to you since you started, and I

472
00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:15.400
<v Speaker 12>just wanted to tell you that my family met you

473
00:25:16.319 --> 00:25:21.279
<v Speaker 12>around nineteen ninety five when you were reporting for Bus

474
00:25:22.079 --> 00:25:25.720
<v Speaker 12>there was a hurricane coming in in Falm at the

475
00:25:25.799 --> 00:25:29.920
<v Speaker 12>Tides Motel and we were staying there. Yeah, and you

476
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:35.319
<v Speaker 12>interviewed my daughter at the time. She was eleven years old,

477
00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:37.920
<v Speaker 12>and I just wanted to tell you she is now

478
00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:40.000
<v Speaker 12>a sister with Malarauga.

479
00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:44.559
<v Speaker 2>No, I know, Mother Olga. I know you do.

480
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:45.720
<v Speaker 12>That's why I called you.

481
00:25:46.079 --> 00:25:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh what a great story. So she's down at the

482
00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:51.319
<v Speaker 2>convent and I assumed the confident in Quinsy.

483
00:25:51.640 --> 00:25:54.640
<v Speaker 12>They're in Quincy now, yeah, oh, I know, well, and

484
00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:57.640
<v Speaker 12>it was ironic that you met her when she was eleven,

485
00:25:57.680 --> 00:26:02.319
<v Speaker 12>and I know that you know Mologa very well.

486
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Has she told Mother Olga? Has she told Mother Olga

487
00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:07.440
<v Speaker 2>that she and I are old friends?

488
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:12.559
<v Speaker 12>She probably did, I'm not sure, but he is Sister

489
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:13.799
<v Speaker 12>Elizabeth Francis.

490
00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:18.079
<v Speaker 2>Well, please say hello to Sister elizabeths Francis from me.

491
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Where did she go to school? Because I'm so impressed.

492
00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:26.240
<v Speaker 12>With Fount Alpernia in Newton, and then she went to

493
00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:29.640
<v Speaker 12>Sacred Heart in Connecticut.

494
00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:30.720
<v Speaker 2>Great great colleges.

495
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:38.960
<v Speaker 12>She graduated with her master's from Boston College and before

496
00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:41.759
<v Speaker 12>she she just became a nun. She's been there about

497
00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:45.200
<v Speaker 12>eleven years. But she just made her final vows two

498
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:46.039
<v Speaker 12>or three years ago.

499
00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:48.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, let me just take a quick story, David, so

500
00:26:48.680 --> 00:26:51.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, and maybe you can pass this on. As

501
00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:54.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, there was a period of time where their

502
00:26:54.319 --> 00:26:57.039
<v Speaker 2>rectory was next door to our home.

503
00:26:57.559 --> 00:27:01.640
<v Speaker 12>I know that when she was there, yes.

504
00:27:01.640 --> 00:27:04.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and and and when they would go away on

505
00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:08.519
<v Speaker 2>retreat in the summertime, Mother Olga drafted me to be

506
00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:11.119
<v Speaker 2>sort of their caretaker, to make sure that no one

507
00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:14.960
<v Speaker 2>bothered the house right. And and then she would say

508
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:16.640
<v Speaker 2>that when you know, when you go in every day

509
00:27:16.680 --> 00:27:19.680
<v Speaker 2>to check things around, you would say, you know, please

510
00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:22.480
<v Speaker 2>please sit in the chapel and send some some time

511
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:28.319
<v Speaker 2>meditating with Jesus. And I did that every day, oh yeah,

512
00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:32.240
<v Speaker 2>and it was well worth it. And Mother Olga was

513
00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:35.680
<v Speaker 2>a special person in all of her nuns, the daughters

514
00:27:35.720 --> 00:27:39.279
<v Speaker 2>of Mary of Nazareth. They're all very accomplished young women

515
00:27:39.359 --> 00:27:44.839
<v Speaker 2>from great colleges. They're intelligent, and they're so dedicated to her.

516
00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:48.759
<v Speaker 2>And of course the story Mother Ogre is an extraordinary story.

517
00:27:49.400 --> 00:27:53.160
<v Speaker 2>That is amazing, David, that is amazing. I actually remember

518
00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:55.440
<v Speaker 2>that story. And I'll tell you why I remember that story.

519
00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:58.519
<v Speaker 2>One of the portions of that story, if it's the

520
00:27:58.559 --> 00:28:03.240
<v Speaker 2>same story. I found a baseball game going on that

521
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:06.839
<v Speaker 2>on that night in advance of that storm, and there

522
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:09.839
<v Speaker 2>was a baseball team, an amateur baseball team from Australia

523
00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:14.200
<v Speaker 2>that was playing on the cape, playing a local, you know,

524
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:18.160
<v Speaker 2>amateur team down in Folmouth. And I remember interviewing some

525
00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:22.480
<v Speaker 2>of the Australian players as well as your daughter. So yeah,

526
00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:25.960
<v Speaker 2>that probably was the same story, David. That is a

527
00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:28.160
<v Speaker 2>great story. Please say how to your daughter for me.

528
00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:31.240
<v Speaker 12>I'll do that, Dan, please send it A nice talking

529
00:28:31.279 --> 00:28:33.680
<v Speaker 12>to you and you do a great job there, and

530
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:37.160
<v Speaker 12>I really enjoy you every unit I listened to you well, David.

531
00:28:36.880 --> 00:28:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Thank you so much. I really hope to meet you someday.

532
00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:45.440
<v Speaker 2>I often head over to Watertown to a gym over there,

533
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:47.240
<v Speaker 2>so maybe sometime I'll see you.

534
00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:47.880
<v Speaker 4>Uh.

535
00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:51.200
<v Speaker 2>There's a dunkin Donuts right by the gym, and oftentimes

536
00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:53.279
<v Speaker 2>as a reward, I stop in there. So if you

537
00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:59.200
<v Speaker 2>haven't said yes, I do, yes, I do. You gotta

538
00:28:59.200 --> 00:29:03.079
<v Speaker 2>have a reward. Okay, that's right, that's right. Thanks David.

<v Speaker 2>What's a wonderful story. I'm happy Happy Easter to you

00:29:24.599 --> 00:29:28.440
<v Speaker 4>Welcome, Okay. Nineteen sixty eight, when Nixon was armed for president,

547
00:29:28.920 --> 00:29:31.519

548
00:29:31.599 --> 00:29:34.160

549
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:36.480
<v Speaker 4>I went to sea. I don't think an autography said

550
00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:39.240
<v Speaker 4>get lost, So I headed to amends room and I

551

<v Speaker 4>walked bumped into Mike Wallace. He got his autograph.

552
00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:44.799
<v Speaker 2>Mike Wallace was a friend. He and I did a

553
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:47.519
<v Speaker 2>piece on sixty Minutes together on the Salvati case. I

554
00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:51.880
<v Speaker 2>really got to know Mike during that story. Wonderful guy.

555
00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:56.079
<v Speaker 2>So they wouldn't let you get Nixon's autograph?

557
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:03.000

567
00:30:28.759 --> 00:30:31.720

568
00:30:31.759 --> 00:30:35.440
<v Speaker 2>about seeing most. Most people could say, oh yeah, I've

00:40:09.440 --> 00:40:11.519
<v Speaker 11>she caused me. At eleven, She says, you're not going

746
00:40:11.559 --> 00:40:14.199
<v Speaker 11>to believe this. Peter Chris is there from Kiss, right,

747
00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:16.760
<v Speaker 11>so I grew up with Kiss. You know, I think

748
00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:18.920
<v Speaker 11>i've seen him at twelve years old. Anyway, I go

749
00:40:19.119 --> 00:40:23.400
<v Speaker 11>there and people getting autographs. It's not too busy. So

750
00:40:23.480 --> 00:40:25.719
<v Speaker 11>when I go up there, he's signed an autograph from

751
00:40:25.760 --> 00:40:27.679
<v Speaker 11>me and he points to the goal with him. He said,

752
00:40:27.719 --> 00:40:30.119
<v Speaker 11>this is my wife, Lydia. I think he said Lydia.

753
00:40:30.719 --> 00:40:33.400
<v Speaker 11>So he signed my autograph and he asked me for

754
00:40:33.559 --> 00:40:36.039
<v Speaker 11>my address. But I looked back at Lydia and I

755
00:40:36.119 --> 00:40:39.320
<v Speaker 11>said Beth, and she nodded her head to get the reference.

756
00:40:40.760 --> 00:40:41.679
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't.

757
