1
00:00:00.520 --> 00:00:05.960
<v Speaker 1>It's nice time with Unrazy Boston's news radio.

2
00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, those of you who perhaps don't have the hockey game,

3
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:16.679
<v Speaker 2>there is a hockey game tonight which we're going up against,

4
00:00:16.679 --> 00:00:21.800
<v Speaker 2>and that is the the Ford Nation Finale at Boston Garden.

5
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:25.679
<v Speaker 2>The game is now tied at two to two after

6
00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:28.359
<v Speaker 2>three periods of play, so the teams are entering the

7
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:32.200
<v Speaker 2>overtime segment, which will be a twenty minute period or whoever,

8
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:36.560
<v Speaker 2>it's a sudden death typical the old school NHL. None

9
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:39.200
<v Speaker 2>of this three on three staff or shootouts. This is

10
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:42.719
<v Speaker 2>twenty minutes of hockey. If nobody scores, another twenty minutes

11
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:46.359
<v Speaker 2>of hockey until someone scores. The two goals for the

12
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:51.119
<v Speaker 2>US have been scored by Brady Kochuk and Jacob Sanderson.

13
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:57.280
<v Speaker 2>The Canadian goals by Nathan McKinnon and Sam Bennett. And

14
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:01.000
<v Speaker 2>as someone has just written, which I'm reading, there will

15
00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:02.799
<v Speaker 2>be one more goal scorer in this game, and that

16
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:06.359
<v Speaker 2>play will instantly become a national hero. So that's what's

17
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:08.560
<v Speaker 2>going on. Will keep you posted. If you're watching the game,

18
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:13.200
<v Speaker 2>you can keep the audio down and participate. Listen to

19
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.760
<v Speaker 2>nights Side and even maybe participate. We talked a couple

20
00:01:16.760 --> 00:01:20.480
<v Speaker 2>of hours about this situation in Somerville, which really troubles me.

21
00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:26.239
<v Speaker 2>I don't like to see communities taking advantage of their residents,

22
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:28.359
<v Speaker 2>and I think that that's what's going on in Summerville.

23
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:32.400
<v Speaker 2>This is an extraordinary snowstorm or a series of snowstorms.

24
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:34.519
<v Speaker 2>But we're going to put that on ice part in

25
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:38.319
<v Speaker 2>the pun, because that's what. Pretty much all the sidewalks

26
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:40.599
<v Speaker 2>in Somerville are on ice, so they can go around

27
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:43.719
<v Speaker 2>and find everybody. I'd like to go to a different

28
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:49.799
<v Speaker 2>sort of controversy, and this is one that the airlines

29
00:01:49.959 --> 00:01:56.000
<v Speaker 2>I think are responsible for. We have had several at

30
00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:00.400
<v Speaker 2>least one major, well two major crashes, one up in

31
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:03.879
<v Speaker 2>Toronto a couple of days ago, in which no one

32
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:08.240
<v Speaker 2>was killed. Miraculously, how that ever happened. It's incredible that

33
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:12.439
<v Speaker 2>all of the passenger and crew got off that plane

34
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.800
<v Speaker 2>and apparently none of them have suffered Some were injured,

35
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 2>but none of them have suffered life threatening issues, which

36
00:02:19.759 --> 00:02:23.439
<v Speaker 2>is great. And of course we had the horrific crash

37
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:28.319
<v Speaker 2>the flight into Washington National Airport in which a US

38
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:31.680
<v Speaker 2>military helicopter collided with that plane on final approach and

39
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.199
<v Speaker 2>all I think it was sixty seven people, sixty three

40
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:37.960
<v Speaker 2>on the plane, sixty four on the plane, and three

41
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:41.879
<v Speaker 2>members of the military crew died. And then we've had

42
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:45.120
<v Speaker 2>a couple of other crashes that all of a sudden

43
00:02:45.159 --> 00:02:47.439
<v Speaker 2>people are saying, well, what's going on with their safety?

44
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:50.159
<v Speaker 2>I think it's I don't think it's anything going on

45
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:54.319
<v Speaker 2>with their safety. These crashes began before Donald Trump started

46
00:02:54.319 --> 00:03:00.800
<v Speaker 2>the leap people off in government, including the FAA. However, however,

47
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:06.039
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to use the opportunity tonight to talk about

48
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:12.719
<v Speaker 2>I've flown recently a few times, and I think all

49
00:03:12.719 --> 00:03:18.479
<v Speaker 2>of us know on passenger planes the seats are getting smaller.

50
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:21.439
<v Speaker 2>It's not that we're getting bigger, the seats are getting smaller.

51
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:24.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't think there's any question about that. But more importantly,

52
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:28.599
<v Speaker 2>what I have noticed, and i'd love to get your

53
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:32.080
<v Speaker 2>reaction to it. If you're someone who travels for a

54
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:34.240
<v Speaker 2>long long time, it used to be that you could

55
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:38.800
<v Speaker 2>check a bag no charge, and some, if not all,

56
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:40.879
<v Speaker 2>the airlines that I haven't flown on all the airlines,

57
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:43.400
<v Speaker 2>so I can't speak to all the airlines, but a

58
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:45.599
<v Speaker 2>lot of the airlines, if not all the airlines, have

59
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:48.400
<v Speaker 2>said okay, it's going to cost you twenty five bucks

60
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:51.879
<v Speaker 2>to check a bag or whatever. So what did that

61
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:55.240
<v Speaker 2>prompt people to do? Prompt and want people to say, Well,

62
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:59.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to get a smaller bag or two and

63
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to carry them on. I won't have to

64
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:05.639
<v Speaker 2>wait at the carousel once the plane lands wherever I'm going,

65
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:09.360
<v Speaker 2>so I can I can just beat feet once I

66
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.159
<v Speaker 2>get off the plane and head to the to the

67
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:16.240
<v Speaker 2>cab line or to the uber line and get my

68
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:22.079
<v Speaker 2>trip underway. What that then necessitates is because the smaller

69
00:04:22.120 --> 00:04:26.480
<v Speaker 2>seats you don't have a whole lot of ligorroom, you

70
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:30.000
<v Speaker 2>have to put those bags that you bring on. And

71
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:35.319
<v Speaker 2>I carry on a small case which is within the

72
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:38.920
<v Speaker 2>limits that the airlines point out how wide it can be,

73
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:40.839
<v Speaker 2>how long it can be, how high it can be,

74
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:44.120
<v Speaker 2>so it fits in the overhead bed. And I also

75
00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:48.279
<v Speaker 2>will carry you know, kind of a computer's shoulder bag,

76
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:50.480
<v Speaker 2>and whether I bring my computer with me or not,

77
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:55.680
<v Speaker 2>that I also have some stuff in that bag and

78
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:00.839
<v Speaker 2>you put it up above. Now, one thing that is

79
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:04.879
<v Speaker 2>always interesting to me is that the airlines, if you notice,

80
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:08.240
<v Speaker 2>they always load people at the front of the plane.

81
00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:11.480
<v Speaker 2>Now I understand that people who are buying first class

82
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:14.720
<v Speaker 2>or business class tickets. They want a little priority. Fine,

83
00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.279
<v Speaker 2>but then they own most of the planes I've been on.

84
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:22.519
<v Speaker 2>They load from the front. They continue to load from

85
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:25.319
<v Speaker 2>the front, so the last people on are the people

86
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:29.160
<v Speaker 2>at the back of the plane. And I think what

87
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:33.040
<v Speaker 2>happens is, as you know, group two loads on and

88
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:38.160
<v Speaker 2>group three, group four takes longer to load the plane

89
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:40.839
<v Speaker 2>because it should be let the people who are going

90
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:42.480
<v Speaker 2>to be at the back, let them go first. If

91
00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:44.439
<v Speaker 2>it's group five in the back, put group five in

92
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:48.120
<v Speaker 2>the back. But everybody worries about overhead space because you

93
00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:50.360
<v Speaker 2>don't want to find out that, sort of like a

94
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:55.199
<v Speaker 2>game of musical chairs, you don't In musical chairs, you

95
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:57.680
<v Speaker 2>lose because you don't have a place to sit. In

96
00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:04.399
<v Speaker 2>the game of musical baggage bind, if all of a sudden,

97
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:08.839
<v Speaker 2>all the space in the in the in the bins

98
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:12.480
<v Speaker 2>above the seats are taken, there's nowhere to put your

99
00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:16.839
<v Speaker 2>your bag under the seat in front of you. Don't

100
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:19.959
<v Speaker 2>worry about that if you have a normal sized bag,

101
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:23.839
<v Speaker 2>even a normal sized bag which fits into the airline limitations.

102
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.680
<v Speaker 2>And so the flight crew will say, well, we'll hold

103
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:28.600
<v Speaker 2>the bag up front, and will hold the bag up back.

104
00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.480
<v Speaker 2>And then you have bag anxiety. Well, am I gonna

105
00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:33.639
<v Speaker 2>get my bag back? Is will it be there when

106
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:37.040
<v Speaker 2>I get off the plane? And of course compounding that,

107
00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:41.480
<v Speaker 2>compounding that, if you've noticed recently, and I have always

108
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:44.000
<v Speaker 2>noticed this, no matter where I sit on the plane,

109
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:48.000
<v Speaker 2>and I'm like in the middle of the plane, back

110
00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:50.399
<v Speaker 2>of the plane, That's why I tend to end up

111
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:55.040
<v Speaker 2>and the plane comes to the gate, everybody jumps up,

112
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:59.240
<v Speaker 2>or the people jump up, and the people can't move

113
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:04.759
<v Speaker 2>because they could maybe one person can move into the aisle,

114
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:09.040
<v Speaker 2>but they're immediately trying to pull their bag it. They're

115
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:12.959
<v Speaker 2>they're bagged down from which now is heavy. These are

116
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:16.399
<v Speaker 2>heavy bags. They're now weighing forty fifty pounds, and a

117
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:20.120
<v Speaker 2>lot of people, older people, people who aren't as strong,

118
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:23.839
<v Speaker 2>they're they're pulling the bag down and running the risk

119
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:27.000
<v Speaker 2>of hitting someone off the head. And it's just it.

120
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:33.160
<v Speaker 2>It makes the whole process of air travel more miserable.

121
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:37.439
<v Speaker 2>It just forget the additional anxiety of you look at

122
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:40.839
<v Speaker 2>that plane in Toronto the other day. Those people on

123
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:43.560
<v Speaker 2>that plane, I'm sure as they were coming in for

124
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:47.399
<v Speaker 2>that final approach, they'll they're saying, this is beautiful we've landed,

125
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:51.399
<v Speaker 2>they're they're on a nice flight platter, they're they're they're

126
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:54.319
<v Speaker 2>coming in, looks for a very smooth landing, and then boom.

127
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:58.439
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, maybe maybe one of the wheels collapsed,

128
00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:01.879
<v Speaker 2>maybe it hit too hard hard, But next thing you know,

129
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:07.759
<v Speaker 2>the plane flips over, the right wing collapses, fire breaks out,

130
00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:12.600
<v Speaker 2>the plane inverts. People are hanging from their seats from

131
00:08:12.680 --> 00:08:14.879
<v Speaker 2>what used to be their seats now is the top

132
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:19.240
<v Speaker 2>of the plane. I mean, it's time for the airlines

133
00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:22.240
<v Speaker 2>to smarten up, and I want to make some suggestions,

134
00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:25.319
<v Speaker 2>and I'm hoping you'll make some suggestions. What can the

135
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:29.439
<v Speaker 2>airlines do to make air travel a little nicer, a

136
00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:34.200
<v Speaker 2>little less anxious, and obviously safer. Not only safer in

137
00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:37.279
<v Speaker 2>terms of landing the planes, they've done a pretty good

138
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:42.320
<v Speaker 2>job at that, with some exceptions, but also safer. So

139
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:45.519
<v Speaker 2>when you're standing there, or you're in your seat waiting

140
00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:48.159
<v Speaker 2>to get up the plane, is that they gate, people

141
00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:51.120
<v Speaker 2>are starting to get off. You don't want some knucklehead

142
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:55.799
<v Speaker 2>taking his or her fifty pound bag down and dropping

143
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:59.559
<v Speaker 2>it on your head. That's what nice sense is. And

144
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:02.759
<v Speaker 2>I think I think that all of this is causing

145
00:09:02.879 --> 00:09:07.240
<v Speaker 2>unnecessary anxiety, unnecessary angst. So if you had a recent

146
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.320
<v Speaker 2>experience on a plane that has not been a good

147
00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:16.320
<v Speaker 2>experience either because the seats were too crowded, no food

148
00:09:16.440 --> 00:09:20.279
<v Speaker 2>is served, You're lucky if they offer you a pepsi

149
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:25.159
<v Speaker 2>or coke or chine rail or bag of peanuts, bag

150
00:09:25.159 --> 00:09:29.240
<v Speaker 2>of cookies. That's it. Airline travel used to be glamorous.

151
00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:32.200
<v Speaker 2>People used to look forward. It was something special. I'm

152

<v Speaker 2>going to get on an airplane and I'm gonna fly

155
00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:42.080
<v Speaker 2>it's gonna be it's going to be something special. It's

156
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:47.120

<v Speaker 2>first second two hours tonight from nine to eleven, we

161
00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:02.240

162
00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:04.879
<v Speaker 2>with the or in New England with these storms. This

163

169
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:34.200
<v Speaker 2>It is just not fun. Recently at a couple of airports,

170

<v Speaker 2>big huge airports. It is just I think I'm I'm

<v Speaker 2>gonna become in my old age. I'm gonna become a

<v Speaker 2>trained guy. Coming back on Nightside right after this.

<v Speaker 2>Baggage, Ben Battles, That's what I'm calling this hour. Let's

176
00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:59.360
<v Speaker 2>go to the Phone's gonna go to Jason and Waltham. Hey, Jason,

177
00:10:59.360 --> 00:10:59.840
<v Speaker 2>welcome back.

178
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.759
<v Speaker 3>I'm good. How are you uh? With everything that's going

179
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:08.960
<v Speaker 3>on with his airplanes at the airport, Man, I'm scared

180
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:14.279
<v Speaker 3>of flying man too much. I feel bad, and I

181
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:17.120
<v Speaker 3>feel bad for all the people and the families, all

182
00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:20.600
<v Speaker 3>the lost the lost lives were lost. But something gotta

183
00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.320
<v Speaker 3>be done. As far as about the experience is, I

184
00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:27.279
<v Speaker 3>was coming back from I saw that last month, and

185
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:29.480
<v Speaker 3>I missed my Jet Blue flight and I had to

186
00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:33.080
<v Speaker 3>get on a Frontier flight. That was the worst experience

187
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:35.960
<v Speaker 3>ever had. Frontier in spirit, those are the worst two

188
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:39.720
<v Speaker 3>airlines ever. I will never fly on like rather.

189
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, what was wrong? I've never Jason, I've never flown Frontier.

190
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:47.360
<v Speaker 2>Give me your your experience. What was it like?

191
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:48.759
<v Speaker 1>So?

192
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:50.399
<v Speaker 3>I had a I had to make one of those

193
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:52.919
<v Speaker 3>men's breastcast that you carry and I only had a

194
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:55.679
<v Speaker 3>two pairs of jeans and a laptop and a couple

195
00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:58.120
<v Speaker 3>of files in it. And they made me check it

196
00:11:58.159 --> 00:11:59.919
<v Speaker 3>in and pay for it because they will not fit

197
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.600
<v Speaker 3>into their cognates and they had room. So when you're

198
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:06.879
<v Speaker 3>going to Frontier, they measure your carry on. If your

199
00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:10.279
<v Speaker 3>carry on that doesn't fit in that little small box,

200
00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:11.440
<v Speaker 3>it won't take it.

201
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:13.320
<v Speaker 2>It won't of course. So what did they do?

202
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:13.480
<v Speaker 4>What?

203
00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:15.840
<v Speaker 2>How much did they charge you for the for the

204
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:18.039
<v Speaker 2>carry on that they should have allowed on?

205
00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:26.080
<v Speaker 3>Fifty dollars fifty Yeah, a lot of It's not a

206
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:28.240
<v Speaker 3>lot of money, by just just ridiculous.

207
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:31.519
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a hey, Jason, I think it's a

208
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:36.480
<v Speaker 2>lot of money. I mean, you know, it's fifty fifty dollars.

209
00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:39.440
<v Speaker 2>You got to probably make seventy five in order to

210
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:44.360
<v Speaker 2>spend fifty right, I mean that's a few bucks.

211
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:51.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but that's crazy. Please Frontier and Spirit airlines never please,

212
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:53.440
<v Speaker 3>people don't use those airlines.

213
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Thank you well, Jason. You you giving him fifty dollars

214
00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:02.679
<v Speaker 2>worth of had publicity so so so they made a

215
00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:06.000
<v Speaker 2>mistaken They should have said, okay, Jason, you're all set.

216
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.679
<v Speaker 2>Hey Jason, thanks man, Thank you. Back to you soon,

217
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:13.759
<v Speaker 2>have a great night. Can I let me go next

218
00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:17.559
<v Speaker 2>to Bobby Is in Sagas, Massachusetts. Bobby you next on nightside?

219
00:13:17.639 --> 00:13:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Your hairline stories are experienced.

220
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:24.759
<v Speaker 5>Bo I'm on my way up to Boxford, just landed,

221
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:28.759
<v Speaker 5>but I want to say something else first. I'm a

222
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:31.320
<v Speaker 5>I'm a car wash guy, and I was on with

223
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:34.720
<v Speaker 5>your car guys. People were asking me questions what do

224
00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:37.000
<v Speaker 5>you do when you get salt on the cars? And

225
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:40.799
<v Speaker 5>we had a mutual friend, bless his soul, Neil Price.

226
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:44.159
<v Speaker 2>Oh god, Leo was one of my closest friends. What

227
00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:44.759
<v Speaker 2>a great guy.

228
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:48.759
<v Speaker 5>I know that, and I gotta tell you Neil was

229
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:51.840
<v Speaker 5>a great, great guy. Uh So let me get to it.

230
00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:56.639
<v Speaker 5>I just flew in from from Fort Myers. The seat

231
00:13:56.679 --> 00:13:59.039
<v Speaker 5>that I had was way in the back in the

232
00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:01.840
<v Speaker 5>in the whend know, and I can't sit there, so

233
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:05.279
<v Speaker 5>I got a seat up front. I paid one hundred

234
00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:08.879
<v Speaker 5>and twenty dollars to get on that seat. And there's

235
00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:11.200
<v Speaker 5>no room to put your bags. You've got to put

236
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:14.799
<v Speaker 5>your bag up top, and when you land and take off,

237
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:18.360
<v Speaker 5>you've got to put your little your briefcase type bag

238
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:22.000
<v Speaker 5>up top as well, And there's just no room. The

239
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:24.600
<v Speaker 5>seats are smaller. And I got to tell you, you

240
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:27.519
<v Speaker 5>hit the nail on the head when you said why

241
00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:31.440
<v Speaker 5>though they load people in the back first, and I

242
00:14:31.519 --> 00:14:34.279
<v Speaker 5>get it, I paid extra per seat, but I would

243
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:37.320
<v Speaker 5>have rather had other people go back in an orderly

244
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.480
<v Speaker 5>fashion and make it a lot more comfortable for travels.

245
00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:43.639
<v Speaker 5>That's what I have to say, first of all.

246
00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:47.480
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, I'm with you, and I don't understand that

247
00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:49.399
<v Speaker 2>at all. I mean, it just seems to me to

248
00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:53.120
<v Speaker 2>be silly that the way they do it. Did you

249
00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:58.039
<v Speaker 2>get on this On this flight coming back, everything went okay,

250
00:14:58.320 --> 00:15:01.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, not a lot of turbulence, hopefully, you know, softly.

251
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:05.919
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I love to say it was uneventful.

252
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:11.000
<v Speaker 2>That's good. That's a good thing to get me. How

253
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:15.000
<v Speaker 2>many begs? How many bags of peenis did they give you?

254
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:21.960
<v Speaker 5>They get they didn't have anything. They gave you a cookie.

255
00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:29.799
<v Speaker 2>Airline flights, airline, flying on an airplane. It's just not

256
00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:32.240
<v Speaker 2>the same anymore, is it. Huh?

257
00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:37.480

260
00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:46.600
<v Speaker 5>to come on. We'll answer them how to take care

261
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:47.679

<v Speaker 2>Let's keep talking about your airline traffic experiences, the good,

298
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:36.920
<v Speaker 2>the bad, and the ugly. And it's pretty ugly out there,

299
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:39.279
<v Speaker 2>to be honest with you. Arthur in Boston, Arthur next

300
00:17:39.279 --> 00:17:39.839
<v Speaker 2>on nightside.

301
00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:43.720
<v Speaker 4>Welcome, Hi Dan, thanks listening. I met you in the

302
00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:45.599
<v Speaker 4>lounge a couple of saturdays ago.

303
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:51.079
<v Speaker 2>My wife. Oh, absolutely, absolutely yeah, we were flying south.

304
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:55.400
<v Speaker 2>Thanks Arthur, Thanks for calling. You were really a gentleman

305
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:57.720
<v Speaker 2>and I loved meeting you and your wife. It was

306
00:17:57.759 --> 00:17:58.440
<v Speaker 2>a lot of fun.

307
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:02.279
<v Speaker 4>Thank you. You enjoyed meeting your wife, and of course

308
00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:04.799
<v Speaker 4>you and I had met before, and I hope you

309
00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:07.440
<v Speaker 4>had a good flight down south as we did, and

310
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:10.519
<v Speaker 4>it was great. But this is a subject that's near

311
00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:14.279
<v Speaker 4>and dear as to our hearts, this airline boarding and whatever.

312
00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:17.240
<v Speaker 4>I thought the airlines have it backwards. I think that

313
00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:20.359
<v Speaker 4>they ought to have check baggage for free, and if

314
00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:22.359
<v Speaker 4>you want to bring your bags on the plane, because

315
00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:26.160
<v Speaker 4>it takes time, it delays everybody, It causes all sorts

316
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:29.440
<v Speaker 4>of congestion in the aisle. Judge your fifty dollars to

317
00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:31.000
<v Speaker 4>put something in the overhead rack.

318
00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:34.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and look, people do that because you know as

319
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:37.559
<v Speaker 2>well as I do that they're looking to save the money.

320
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:40.519
<v Speaker 2>That's why they're doing it. And then they also think, well,

321
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:42.759
<v Speaker 2>i'll put my bag and I'll just grab my bag

322
00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:45.079
<v Speaker 2>and I'll head. I don't have to go to the

323
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:47.119
<v Speaker 2>baggage carousel. I don't have to wait for my bag.

324
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:49.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm in the cab before the bags come up.

325
00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:53.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, sure, go on jet Blue. You check your bag.

326
00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:55.400
<v Speaker 4>Of course, if you have the Jet Blue credit card,

327
00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:58.759
<v Speaker 4>the check bag is free. But then on the other

328
00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:01.400
<v Speaker 4>end there comes up problem. The problem is it takes

329
00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:04.039
<v Speaker 4>forever for the luggage to come out, and of course

330
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:05.880
<v Speaker 4>they take you forever to get out of the plane

331
00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:09.759
<v Speaker 4>because everybody's taking the bag from the overhead rack. If

332
00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:11.680
<v Speaker 4>they did it the other way.

333
00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:16.160
<v Speaker 2>We came back from Yeah, we came back from a

334
00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:20.200
<v Speaker 2>trip from Italy last summer, and I think we waited.

335
00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:23.160
<v Speaker 2>It had to be like an hour and a half

336
00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:26.720
<v Speaker 2>for the bags to come up off an international flight.

337
00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:30.400
<v Speaker 2>It was seriously and everybody it wasn't like, you know,

338
00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:32.920
<v Speaker 2>your bag or my bag were the last ones coming up.

339
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:35.480
<v Speaker 2>We're just sitting there and watching this thing go around

340
00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:38.039
<v Speaker 2>and round and round, and we have been. We had

341
00:19:38.079 --> 00:19:40.559
<v Speaker 2>been a long fighters, like nine hours. Everybody just wanted

342
00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:45.119
<v Speaker 2>to get out, get home and get out of there. Sure, unbelievable,

343
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:47.759
<v Speaker 2>but you guys had a good trip. Do me a favor.

382
00:21:47.720 --> 00:21:50.720
<v Speaker 2>won the tournament three to one. I'll try to figure

383
00:21:50.720 --> 00:21:54.599
<v Speaker 2>out who who scored the game winner here, but it

384
00:21:54.640 --> 00:22:00.759
<v Speaker 2>will be some one of the Canadian players. Uh and yeah,

385
00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:03.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm just scheduling it here. I've had a little bit

386
00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:07.640
<v Speaker 2>of a TV problem. Sidney Crosby scored in overtime to

387
00:22:07.640 --> 00:22:10.759
<v Speaker 2>beat the US in the gold medal game. Oh no, no, no,

388
00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:13.440
<v Speaker 2>scored in the gold medal game of the Winter Olymics.

389
00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:18.079
<v Speaker 2>Uh no, I still don't have that with that is

390
00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:23.000
<v Speaker 2>not not Crosby here that that scored the winner. We'll

391
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:27.119
<v Speaker 2>figure it out. We will figure it out. But the

392
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:33.599
<v Speaker 2>Canadians have won it. And that's say maybe I got

393
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:37.359
<v Speaker 2>it here, hold on, we might have it right here. Nope, nope,

394
00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:40.400
<v Speaker 2>I'll get it for you. Maybe someone who's watched the

395
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:42.160
<v Speaker 2>game will have it for us. We're back on night Side.

396
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:42.839
<v Speaker 2>Right after this.

397
00:22:46.640 --> 00:22:52.039
<v Speaker 1>Night Side with Dan Ray on w B Boston's news radio.

398
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:57.640
<v Speaker 2>Connor McDavid, uh the Edmundton oiler superstar these sort of

399
00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:02.000
<v Speaker 2>the new Sydney. Rosby scored the game winner for Canada

400
00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:05.119
<v Speaker 2>three to two in overtime over the US. Now we're

401
00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:08.359
<v Speaker 2>back to everyone should be listening to night Side. The

402
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:12.559
<v Speaker 2>game is over. We are talking about airline travel and

403
00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:15.200
<v Speaker 2>what it's been like and has it been good for you.

404
00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:19.480
<v Speaker 2>I think it's been tough, I really do. I'd love

405
00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:21.799
<v Speaker 2>to hear from you your point of view on any

406
00:23:21.839 --> 00:23:24.720
<v Speaker 2>of this. What you feel the airlines could do to

407
00:23:24.799 --> 00:23:28.680
<v Speaker 2>make it more consumer friendly. I think that's something that

408
00:23:28.720 --> 00:23:30.920
<v Speaker 2>the airlines have to start to think about because at

409
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:34.720
<v Speaker 2>some point, yeah, the business travelers will always be there,

410
00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:38.079
<v Speaker 2>but eventually people will kind of tired up, tire of it,

411
00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:40.559
<v Speaker 2>let me go next to Nathan and Quincy. Nathan, you're

412
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:41.680
<v Speaker 2>next to nice Ide. Welcome.

413
00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:43.400
<v Speaker 5>Hello.

414
00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:49.200
<v Speaker 6>So I was I have experience in the airline industry.

415
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:51.359
<v Speaker 6>It used to be a ramp agent for Jump Blue

416
00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:56.359
<v Speaker 6>and for Spirit so as far as like baggage, like

417
00:23:58.039 --> 00:24:01.519
<v Speaker 6>sometimes like with customs, so it takes a long time

418
00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:07.799
<v Speaker 6>clearing the luggage for national flights. But but like we

419
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:13.359
<v Speaker 6>for Jet Blue, they do it based on your status

420
00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:16.759
<v Speaker 6>and everybody they change it back in September where everybody

421
00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:19.920
<v Speaker 6>gets a carry on, but once they fill up in space,

422
00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:23.200
<v Speaker 6>it either gets gate checked where you get back right

423
00:24:23.240 --> 00:24:26.559
<v Speaker 6>outside you get off the plane, or or it goes

424
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:27.160
<v Speaker 6>into ben.

425
00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but you know, a lot a lot of people

426
00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:32.640
<v Speaker 2>have bag anxiety. I mean a lot of people have

427
00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:36.880
<v Speaker 2>their medications, or they have their contact lens cases or

428
00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:40.519
<v Speaker 2>solutions or the contact lenses or whatever, and we all

429
00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:43.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, once you're separated from that dag, it's like

430
00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:44.599
<v Speaker 2>being separated from your.

431
00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:51.160
<v Speaker 7>Child, like you Yeah, So so if you tell, at

432
00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:53.240
<v Speaker 7>least for Jeff Blue, if you tell them you have

433
00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:57.480
<v Speaker 7>medications or or valuable stuff in there, they'll tag it

434
00:24:57.519 --> 00:24:59.160
<v Speaker 7>with a P tag and then you'll get it back

435
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:02.000
<v Speaker 7>at the gate or right outside the boarding door to

436
00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:04.160
<v Speaker 7>the plane instead of it going to the carousel.

437
00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, that's good to know. It just can be.

438
00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:15.279
<v Speaker 2>It just is so crazy. You know, you do you

439
00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:18.319
<v Speaker 2>fly much? Now? Are you still working for for job?

440
00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:19.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't.

441
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:23.160
<v Speaker 6>I don't work for Jet Blue. I mean i've I've flew.

442
00:25:24.960 --> 00:25:26.519
<v Speaker 6>I haven't flown for any of the airlines so I

443
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:31.599
<v Speaker 6>used to work for But the as far as Jet Blue, like,

444
00:25:31.640 --> 00:25:34.400
<v Speaker 6>they're retiring their E one nineties and replacing them with

445
00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:37.559
<v Speaker 6>the two twenties. So that's gonna give a lot more space,

446
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:43.799
<v Speaker 6>a lot more bags, new overhead bins, so and more seats.

447
00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:46.880
<v Speaker 2>Well that's a good that's a good thing then, But

448
00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:50.640
<v Speaker 2>it's just no fun, not fun anymore. I mean, I

449
00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:53.359
<v Speaker 2>know I'm probably older than you, but I can remember

450
00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:57.720
<v Speaker 2>flying to New York or flying to Washington in the

451
00:25:57.759 --> 00:26:00.440
<v Speaker 2>morning and you get a breakfast. It was a pretty

452
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:06.279
<v Speaker 2>decent breakfast. It was prepared, but it was hot, scrambled eggs, sausage, whatever,

453
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:10.000
<v Speaker 2>some home fries, and there was coffee. It just seemed

454
00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:14.440
<v Speaker 2>that it was more elegant back a few years more

455
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:16.960
<v Speaker 2>than a few years ago. But I'm talking I'm not

456
00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:19.279
<v Speaker 2>talking about flying business. I'm talking about flying just in

457
00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:23.000
<v Speaker 2>coach and it was just more fun. It was more elegant,

458
00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:25.920
<v Speaker 2>it was more special. People were more dressed up, you know,

459
00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:28.039
<v Speaker 2>we were we had to fly suit and ties because

460
00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:31.839
<v Speaker 2>we were working in television at the time. But it

461
00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:34.960
<v Speaker 2>just it's like bus travel now, it's like what bus

462
00:26:35.039 --> 00:26:42.400
<v Speaker 2>travel used to be. I don't know. Yeah, anyway, have

463
00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:45.119
<v Speaker 2>you got my shirt before? Nathan? Is this your first time?

464
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:45.400
<v Speaker 8>Now?

465
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:46.880
<v Speaker 6>No, this is my first time.

466
00:26:48.200 --> 00:26:51.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay. We had a bunch of first time callers tonight,

467
00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:54.359
<v Speaker 2>which is great, which is great by doing a little

468
00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:56.119
<v Speaker 2>bit of a different topic. So do you still work

469
00:26:56.119 --> 00:26:56.960
<v Speaker 2>for the airline or no?

470
00:26:57.119 --> 00:27:01.920
<v Speaker 6>Are you I'm applying for flying for two other airlines,

471
00:27:01.960 --> 00:27:05.359
<v Speaker 6>but I've worked at the airport for three years now.

472
00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:08.599
<v Speaker 6>So all in the ramps, so it's it's a it's

473
00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:11.720
<v Speaker 6>a hard it's a hard position, very physical lifting all

474
00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:15.480
<v Speaker 6>the bags in the bind like like for like places

475
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:18.319
<v Speaker 6>going to sant Her Domingo for for a Jet Blue

476
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:22.640
<v Speaker 6>you have over three hundred bags or about in the

477
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:25.640
<v Speaker 6>band in the back end the front and all the

478
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:28.680
<v Speaker 6>bags get loaded back. They get loaded front to back,

479
00:27:28.720 --> 00:27:33.480
<v Speaker 6>but when you offload, all the bags get loaded back

480
00:27:33.559 --> 00:27:36.079
<v Speaker 6>to front. So the bags that come out and last

481
00:27:36.160 --> 00:27:37.920
<v Speaker 6>are usually at the bottom of the car so that's

482
00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:40.240
<v Speaker 6>why they come out last in the carousel.

483
00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:44.759
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'll tell you this, if you're working what you're

484
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:47.839
<v Speaker 2>you're working a real physical job. You don't have to

485
00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:50.079
<v Speaker 2>worry about going to the gym and working out, Nathan,

486
00:27:50.079 --> 00:27:52.920
<v Speaker 2>because you get your work out now. Oh the job.

487
00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:56.559
<v Speaker 2>Hey man, I appreciate how old are you you still

<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I'm twenty six.

490
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Well that's the that's the point. You know, when

491
00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:05.400
<v Speaker 2>you're when you're fifty six, it's probably gonna be a

492
00:28:05.400 --> 00:28:10.160
<v Speaker 2>tougher job. But stay in shape, man, Okay, all right.

493

<v Speaker 2>I appreciate what you guys do out there. I mean

00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:37.799
<v Speaker 2>in Quincy, Massachusetts. Let's go out west. We haven't talked

505
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:40.519
<v Speaker 2>to Laurie all week. I was missing Laurie. Hey, Laurie,

506
00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:41.640
<v Speaker 2>welcome back. How are you.

507
00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:45.400
<v Speaker 6>I'm doing well? Thank you? Well, no, not so well.

508
00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:47.519
<v Speaker 6>I'm a little depressed with the hockey game results.

509
00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:49.079
<v Speaker 9>But oh well, so.

510
00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Did you watch the game?

511
00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:53.839
<v Speaker 6>I did, I'd multitask, I had it on and I

512
00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:54.640
<v Speaker 6>was listening to Easy.

513
00:28:55.119 --> 00:28:56.079
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but yeah I didn't.

514
00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:58.039
<v Speaker 6>I didn't. I did have it. It was it was

515
00:28:58.319 --> 00:29:00.799
<v Speaker 6>a busy game. It wasn't a horrible game.

516
00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:03.480
<v Speaker 2>But were there many were there many fights?

517
00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:03.720
<v Speaker 10>Or no?

518
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Did they did they go? Did they? No? Okay no?

519
00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:11.599
<v Speaker 6>Not during Yeah they didn't. Well, and they didn't. They

520
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:13.319
<v Speaker 6>didn't during a national anthem. I mean there were some

521
00:29:13.359 --> 00:29:15.519
<v Speaker 6>fifty coughs and they kind of made it more. They

522
00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:17.680
<v Speaker 6>were getting into each other into which of those spaces

523
00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:21.279
<v Speaker 6>before the right before the goal. So but there were

524
00:29:21.319 --> 00:29:22.319
<v Speaker 6>no no brawls like.

525
00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:25.519
<v Speaker 2>The last the other night. Well, you know, it's funny.

526
00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:29.240
<v Speaker 2>I watched the opening. The opening ceremony was right at

527
00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:32.279
<v Speaker 2>eight o'clock during the newscast, or during at eight fifteen,

528
00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:34.519
<v Speaker 2>so I was able to watch it for a couple

529
00:29:34.519 --> 00:29:38.960
<v Speaker 2>of minutes, and it appeared that both national anthems were

530
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:44.319
<v Speaker 2>presented beautifully and there was no disrespect from either country

531
00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:45.359
<v Speaker 2>towards the other.

532
00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:48.160
<v Speaker 6>Yee during which was nice. There were actually there was

533
00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:49.599
<v Speaker 6>a lot of cheering. I mean, I know a lot

534
00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:51.000
<v Speaker 6>of Canadians were there. There was a lot of cheering

535
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:52.279
<v Speaker 6>during the Canadians.

536
00:29:52.440 --> 00:29:55.240
<v Speaker 2>But it was good. I mean, the the the Americans

537
00:29:55.680 --> 00:29:59.920
<v Speaker 2>respected the Canadian national anthem. The Canadians obviously loved that presentation,

538
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:02.200
<v Speaker 2>and that woman did a great job. And the lever

539
00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:05.200
<v Speaker 2>was the singer of the US nationals. She did a

540
00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:08.640
<v Speaker 2>great job. And the Canadian fans behaved themselves as guests,

541
00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:10.960
<v Speaker 2>so it was good. It worked out great. I thought

542
00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:12.799
<v Speaker 2>they were going to use the guy the Bruins, guy

543
00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:15.680
<v Speaker 2>Angelini I think is his name, who's a great national

544
00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:18.240
<v Speaker 2>anthem singer, but he it was that I.

545
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:20.559
<v Speaker 6>Had some woman was like a part of an orchestra

546
00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:23.680
<v Speaker 6>behind her, which I heard it was the Boston City Orchestra.

547
00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:25.559
<v Speaker 2>It was the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

548
00:30:25.720 --> 00:30:30.200
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, absolutely, Well you know that that probably has to

549
00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:31.519
<v Speaker 6>be something who works with here? Yeah?

550
00:30:31.640 --> 00:30:32.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. What was the last time you were on a

551
00:30:32.880 --> 00:30:34.599
<v Speaker 2>plane and did you enjoy the experience?

552
00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:39.960
<v Speaker 6>Oh, I have enjoyed the experience for twenty years, but

553
00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:42.039
<v Speaker 6>it was it was before my hip surgery, so it's

554
00:30:42.039 --> 00:30:44.559
<v Speaker 6>been a little while, but I flew a lot before then,

555
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:47.160
<v Speaker 6>and the bins are the things that drive me. When

556
00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:49.920
<v Speaker 6>I first introduced them, we thought okay. But when I

557
00:30:49.920 --> 00:30:51.759
<v Speaker 6>got on a plane and I looked at and I thought, well,

558
00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:54.000
<v Speaker 6>they've got, you know, a bin for so many seats,

559
00:30:54.039 --> 00:30:56.839
<v Speaker 6>and basically people in those roads should be should fit

560
00:30:56.880 --> 00:30:59.720
<v Speaker 6>into that bin. And I've always checked the bag. I

561
00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:01.640
<v Speaker 6>always bring a carry on. I just checked the suitcase

562
00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:03.920
<v Speaker 6>because it's just less hassle, and you know, if I've

563
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:05.880
<v Speaker 6>got shampoos and stuff anything like that, I just, you know,

564
00:31:05.960 --> 00:31:07.359
<v Speaker 6>want to deal with all the so.

565
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:07.920
<v Speaker 7>I just check it.

566
00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:10.279
<v Speaker 6>And I've only once gotten to an airport where it

567
00:31:10.359 --> 00:31:13.359
<v Speaker 6>wasn't there when they wanted it. So I take the

568
00:31:13.400 --> 00:31:15.039
<v Speaker 6>carry on. But I can't tell you how many times.

569
00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:16.880
<v Speaker 6>First of all, when you get onto the plane, you

570
00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:18.400
<v Speaker 6>think you can put your thing in your overhead bed

571
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:20.200
<v Speaker 6>of your seat in and you've got to go all

572
00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:21.559
<v Speaker 6>the way back to the end of the plane because

573
00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:24.240
<v Speaker 6>all these people have been stuffing them up with other

574
00:31:24.559 --> 00:31:27.880
<v Speaker 6>suitcases before you even got so you might have found it,

575
00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:30.319
<v Speaker 6>you might have found a gripe here. But and so,

576
00:31:30.680 --> 00:31:32.400
<v Speaker 6>and I can't tell you because I always take an

577
00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:35.960
<v Speaker 6>aisle seat because I'm claustrophobic, and so I can't tell

578
00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:37.720
<v Speaker 6>you the number of times I've been hitten in the

579
00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:40.240
<v Speaker 6>head with people. Stupid luggage.

580
00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:44.920
<v Speaker 2>I hate it. It's not it's not fun. And what

581
00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:49.599
<v Speaker 2>they say, oh gee, did I hit you?

582
00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:49.759
<v Speaker 6>Now?

583
00:31:50.119 --> 00:31:50.839
<v Speaker 2>You hit me now?

584
00:31:51.279 --> 00:31:53.079
<v Speaker 6>They don't even know it because they don't have to

585
00:31:53.119 --> 00:31:56.920
<v Speaker 6>control their own stupid luggage. Yeah, so that that is.

586
00:31:57.599 --> 00:32:00.000
<v Speaker 2>And it's like they don't realize how heavy it is

587
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:01.079
<v Speaker 2>at a bad angle and.

588
00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:06.000
<v Speaker 6>Boom exactly, Well, I know it's going to come hit me.

589
00:32:06.039 --> 00:32:08.920
<v Speaker 6>I mean, the bin does not extend beyond where my

590
00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:11.440
<v Speaker 6>head is, see whatever, and so and then they got

591
00:32:11.440 --> 00:32:13.920
<v Speaker 6>all this crud they're clogging up the aisles with instead

592
00:32:13.920 --> 00:32:15.799
<v Speaker 6>of just something you can swing over your shoulder, and

593
00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:19.559
<v Speaker 6>that that is my biggest pet peeve. Right now, I'm.

594
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:20.279
<v Speaker 2>With you totally.

595
00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:21.319
<v Speaker 5>I'm with you totally.

596
00:32:22.519 --> 00:32:25.480
<v Speaker 2>And Laurie as always think I'm at my break. I

597
00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:28.279
<v Speaker 2>got you in before the break. But I'm glad you

598
00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:33.799
<v Speaker 2>multitasked tonight in Idaho. Yeah, I thought about you yesterday.

599
00:32:33.799 --> 00:32:36.920
<v Speaker 2>I was watching one of the cases, and I thought

600
00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:40.759
<v Speaker 2>to myself, there was the story about the guy that

601
00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:43.000
<v Speaker 2>allegedly killed the four students down it.

602
00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:45.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, they are a little bit new on that.

603
00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:48.440
<v Speaker 2>And well, I guess they got some blood splatter or

604
00:32:48.480 --> 00:32:50.799
<v Speaker 2>something like that, and it was like bad news for

605
00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:56.799
<v Speaker 2>the defendant. They were knock that out. They were I

606
00:32:56.799 --> 00:32:58.960
<v Speaker 2>would say that if that's a match, that's that is

607
00:32:59.039 --> 00:32:59.839
<v Speaker 2>bad news for the.

608
00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:03.359
<v Speaker 6>Well, I think what they were questioning is how they

609
00:33:03.359 --> 00:33:06.000
<v Speaker 6>got after the DNA. Well, yeah, maybe I don't know.

610
00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:07.640
<v Speaker 6>Some news came out, but where they did not get

611
00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:09.519
<v Speaker 6>to do was throw out the way they got the

612
00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:15.119
<v Speaker 6>DNA from the parents house. So yeah, so anyway, anyway,

613
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:16.799
<v Speaker 6>you nedy.

614
00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:18.519
<v Speaker 2>Case than I did. But I just I thought to myself,

615
00:33:18.680 --> 00:33:20.920
<v Speaker 2>you have bad news. If if you're guilty of killing

616
00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:22.440
<v Speaker 2>four people, that's got to be bad.

617
00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:23.160
<v Speaker 7>Yeah it is.

618
00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:25.359
<v Speaker 6>It's it's not looking good. So that's why they're the other,

619
00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:27.680
<v Speaker 6>you know, grasping as Charles jolt their stuff. Anyway, now

620
00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:28.480
<v Speaker 6>we wait till August.

621
00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:31.599
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, I know it's going to take a while, Laurie,

631
00:33:57.240 --> 00:33:59.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing great, Christine. A little disappointed with the result

632
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:02.519
<v Speaker 2>so the hockey game tonight, but we've had a really

633
00:34:02.519 --> 00:34:04.960
<v Speaker 2>good show here on Nightside. Yeah.

634
00:34:05.000 --> 00:34:07.160
<v Speaker 11>I was watching and lessen earn at the same time

635
00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:11.400
<v Speaker 11>I was multitasking.

636
00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:15.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so air play travel. Has it been good to

637
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:16.639
<v Speaker 2>bad for you lately?

638
00:34:18.840 --> 00:34:20.599
<v Speaker 6>With the YAsO used to be great.

639
00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:23.159
<v Speaker 11>I remember when, like they would hand out the wings

640
00:34:23.559 --> 00:34:25.559
<v Speaker 11>and like you have a nice mail like you said,

641
00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:28.639
<v Speaker 11>you know, and there was they were nice such to you,

642
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:33.280
<v Speaker 11>like the like nowadays said just rude. The line rockets

643
00:34:33.320 --> 00:34:36.320
<v Speaker 11>and you know, Harry, it's just it's it's not good.

644
00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:42.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah. I saw a funny thing online yesterday. It

645
00:34:42.920 --> 00:34:46.360
<v Speaker 2>was someone I'm sure have seen it. There was like

646
00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:48.840
<v Speaker 2>a guy who played the role of a TSA agent

647
00:34:48.960 --> 00:34:51.400
<v Speaker 2>and uh, it was very funny. I mean, most of

648
00:34:51.400 --> 00:34:54.599
<v Speaker 2>the TSA Asians are pretty reasonable, but but the role

649
00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:56.159
<v Speaker 2>that this guy play was sort of like, come on,

650
00:34:56.239 --> 00:34:58.679
<v Speaker 2>let's go, let's go, hurry up, hurry up. You know

651
00:34:59.280 --> 00:35:02.159
<v Speaker 2>it was it was good humor, because that's sometimes what

652
00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:02.599
<v Speaker 2>it's like.

653
00:35:03.039 --> 00:35:06.239
<v Speaker 11>Sometimes it's you know, what's the easiest. It's the easiest

654
00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:09.599
<v Speaker 11>airport to go in and out of is TF Green.

655
00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:13.679
<v Speaker 2>I love TF Green. I really do a little a

656
00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:16.039
<v Speaker 2>little bit of a hike to get there, but it's

657
00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:19.760
<v Speaker 2>well worth it. It's we've talked about that many times,

658
00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:23.039
<v Speaker 2>many times, and yeah, yeah, I would take TF Green

659
00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:26.159
<v Speaker 2>off and over Logan. Although Logan's been okay the last

660
00:35:26.239 --> 00:35:28.440
<v Speaker 2>couple of times, it's it's been the it's been the

661
00:35:28.559 --> 00:35:31.760
<v Speaker 2>it's been the flights that have been less than pleasant.

662
00:35:33.280 --> 00:35:36.000
<v Speaker 11>You still got to see and now used to go

663
00:35:36.079 --> 00:35:38.400
<v Speaker 11>down they would take my luggage from me. So I

664
00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:40.679
<v Speaker 11>would go out of t F. Green by trying to

665
00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:43.960
<v Speaker 11>get back to Tampa going home. They were awful. So

666
00:35:44.079 --> 00:35:47.199
<v Speaker 11>I started going Sarasota Brandonson the airport. It was so

667
00:35:47.280 --> 00:35:48.159
<v Speaker 11>much easier too.

668
00:35:49.960 --> 00:35:52.719
<v Speaker 2>Maybe Tampa got too big, Maybe got Tampa, Tampa got

669
00:35:52.719 --> 00:35:54.920
<v Speaker 2>too big, Christine, I got to keep rolling because we've

670
00:35:54.920 --> 00:35:56.639
<v Speaker 2>got three more, so you're gonna let you run for now.

671
00:35:56.719 --> 00:35:59.199
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for calling us always. We talk soon, okay, thanks

672
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:03.079
<v Speaker 2>so much. Thanks nothing all right, thanks real quickly. Got

673
00:36:03.320 --> 00:36:05.639
<v Speaker 2>Charlie and Lynn. Charlie next on nights. I go right ahead.

674
00:36:07.119 --> 00:36:08.639
<v Speaker 8>Hey Dan, how's it going tonight?

675
00:36:09.440 --> 00:36:11.239
<v Speaker 2>Uh? Doing great? You would get a little tight on

676
00:36:11.320 --> 00:36:15.119
<v Speaker 2>time your your airline travel experience is good, bad or ugly?

677
00:36:16.360 --> 00:36:18.480
<v Speaker 8>I wear you one hundred and fifty pounds. I bring

678
00:36:18.559 --> 00:36:20.599
<v Speaker 8>fifty one pounds a luggage with me. I have to

679
00:36:20.599 --> 00:36:23.679
<v Speaker 8>pay extra money. The guy that's sitting beside me brought

680
00:36:23.760 --> 00:36:26.000
<v Speaker 8>fifty pounds worth of luggage. He weighs two hundred and

681
00:36:26.039 --> 00:36:27.400
<v Speaker 8>ninety five pounds.

682
00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:28.320
<v Speaker 2>You didn't have.

683
00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:31.559
<v Speaker 8>How come I got? I mean, how come I get

684
00:36:31.599 --> 00:36:33.559
<v Speaker 8>short changed? One hundred and forty five pounds. We both

685
00:36:33.599 --> 00:36:34.559
<v Speaker 8>paid the same price.

686
00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:36.760
<v Speaker 5>They should make the price.

687
00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:40.960
<v Speaker 2>With the pounds. The reason is that you're, you know,

688
00:36:41.320 --> 00:36:45.480
<v Speaker 2>relatively normal size, and somebody who is that heavy, they

689
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:47.679
<v Speaker 2>would file a lawsuit and say that there was some

690
00:36:47.719 --> 00:36:50.679
<v Speaker 2>sort of discrimination against them because they were being charged

691
00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:51.280
<v Speaker 2>for their.

692
00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:55.840
<v Speaker 5>Weight as they should have supposed to just paid like that.

693
00:36:55.920 --> 00:36:57.320
<v Speaker 8>The more it weighs, the more you pay.

694
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Come on, then something in court. I don't think you're

695
00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:07.559
<v Speaker 2>the way that one to court, Charlie, is what I'm saying.

696
00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:11.199
<v Speaker 8>Well, that's my complain about the trouble anyway.

697
00:37:11.480 --> 00:37:14.599
<v Speaker 2>All right, Maybe with with Trump in there, it's gonna change.

698
00:37:14.599 --> 00:37:16.480
<v Speaker 2>But we'll have to wait and see on that one. Okay,

699
00:37:16.519 --> 00:37:19.480
<v Speaker 2>he has he hasn't signed an executive order on the

700
00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:22.760
<v Speaker 2>weight of airline passengers yet. Okay, you all thought that

701
00:37:22.800 --> 00:37:24.360
<v Speaker 2>could be coming kind.

702
00:37:24.199 --> 00:37:25.039
<v Speaker 6>Of heavy himself.

703
00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:25.400
<v Speaker 8>He's not.

704
00:37:25.639 --> 00:37:26.480
<v Speaker 9>He's not a lightweight.

705
00:37:26.960 --> 00:37:28.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but he's got his own plane so he doesn't

706
00:37:28.840 --> 00:37:34.000
<v Speaker 2>have to weigh in. He gets he gets priority. Yeah,

707
00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:37.599
<v Speaker 2>I thanks you too, good night. All right. Then we

708
00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:40.000
<v Speaker 2>go to Carl in New York. Hey, Carl, welcome back.

709
00:37:40.000 --> 00:37:42.280
<v Speaker 5>How are you very well?

710
00:37:42.360 --> 00:37:42.559
<v Speaker 1>Dan?

711
00:37:42.920 --> 00:37:44.880
<v Speaker 4>How you doing doing great?

712
00:37:45.039 --> 00:37:47.280
<v Speaker 2>Title time here because you're late, but I got a

713
00:37:47.280 --> 00:37:48.920
<v Speaker 2>good minute and a halfway go ahead.

714
00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:50.880
<v Speaker 4>Uh yeah.

715
00:37:50.880 --> 00:37:54.519
<v Speaker 9>I haven't been playing much legally because of the hassle

716
00:37:54.559 --> 00:37:57.760
<v Speaker 9>with ts A. And I'm a big guy. I'm six

717
00:37:57.880 --> 00:38:01.960
<v Speaker 9>two and two eighty, so okay, the seating has gotten ridiculous.

718
00:38:02.320 --> 00:38:04.599
<v Speaker 9>I've been taking the train a lot more room for Luggy.

719
00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:07.000
<v Speaker 9>It's a lot more leg room, you know, I mean

720
00:38:07.039 --> 00:38:10.599
<v Speaker 9>it takes me longer, but it's it's less than taking

721
00:38:10.639 --> 00:38:10.960
<v Speaker 9>a flight.

722
00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:13.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, if you gotta if you gotta fly,

723
00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:14.920
<v Speaker 2>you're in New York. If you gotta fly to the

724
00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:16.679
<v Speaker 2>West coast, I don't think you want to take a train.

725
00:38:17.119 --> 00:38:21.000
<v Speaker 2>But if you're going Boston, Washington, you're nicely located. You know,

726
00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:22.760
<v Speaker 2>you're good, You're good.

727
00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:24.679
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, it's it's it's definitely.

728
00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:25.400
<v Speaker 6>Can I can I.

729
00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:28.880
<v Speaker 5>Tell you a quick train plane story, if you could

730
00:38:28.880 --> 00:38:32.480
<v Speaker 5>be quick. I was in the I was in the Navy.

731
00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:35.239
<v Speaker 9>We were down at Orlando Navy Naval Training Center. We

732
00:38:35.280 --> 00:38:38.280
<v Speaker 9>were flying back to Albany. Our train had our plane

733
00:38:38.320 --> 00:38:41.599
<v Speaker 9>got delayed by like four hours. So of course we're

734
00:38:41.800 --> 00:38:44.880
<v Speaker 9>we're young. We're in the bars for the four hours

735
00:38:44.880 --> 00:38:48.599
<v Speaker 9>before we get on the train on the plane, no plane.

736
00:38:49.400 --> 00:38:51.599
<v Speaker 9>So we're all sitting in the back together. There's like

737
00:38:51.639 --> 00:38:55.440
<v Speaker 9>ten of us, and the lady's posting the drink cart.

738
00:38:55.559 --> 00:38:57.679
<v Speaker 9>The student's pushing the drink cart down the aisle. We

739
00:38:57.760 --> 00:39:00.760
<v Speaker 9>hit some turbulence and she fell on her butt. We

740
00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:02.639
<v Speaker 9>thought that was the funniest thing in the world. We

741
00:39:02.679 --> 00:39:05.960
<v Speaker 9>started cracking up. She got up, looked at us. See

742
00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:07.679
<v Speaker 9>that door over there, I'll open it up and you

743
00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:08.239
<v Speaker 9>can get out.

744
00:39:08.360 --> 00:39:08.519
<v Speaker 8>Now.

745
00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:14.280
<v Speaker 2>That's a good one. That's a good one.

746
00:39:15.800 --> 00:39:18.360
<v Speaker 9>Needless to say, she would not serve us anymore drinks

747
00:39:18.400 --> 00:39:18.639
<v Speaker 9>on the.

748
00:39:18.679 --> 00:39:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Part I and I think she probably was doing the

749
00:39:21.360 --> 00:39:26.519
<v Speaker 2>right thing in retrospect. Thanks. Thanks, all right, Dan, have

750
00:39:26.559 --> 00:39:28.719
<v Speaker 2>a good night. Thanks, thanks for your service as well.

751
00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Have a great one. Good night, all right. How much

752
00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:37.039
<v Speaker 2>time we got here? Wrong? Give me time? Okay, I

753
00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:39.400
<v Speaker 2>got a minute then from Matt. Matt, I'm gonna sneak

754
00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:40.719
<v Speaker 2>you in here. You're late, go right.

755
00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:44.599
<v Speaker 12>Ahead, all right. I can just tell you air travel

756
00:39:44.679 --> 00:39:49.599
<v Speaker 12>has been nothing but a disaster lately. Tsay is very

757
00:39:49.639 --> 00:39:53.159
<v Speaker 12>difficult to deal with, especially be I always go through the.

758
00:39:53.119 --> 00:39:56.760
<v Speaker 10>Pat down and they always seem like I'm trying to

759
00:39:56.760 --> 00:39:59.480
<v Speaker 10>give them a half. So that's the airline i't phone

760
00:39:59.480 --> 00:40:04.880
<v Speaker 10>to reach the is ell all going to Israel. It

761
00:40:04.920 --> 00:40:07.880
<v Speaker 10>really is just night and day different. You get a meal,

762
00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:10.679
<v Speaker 10>you get retreated with somewhat respect.

763
00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:14.000
<v Speaker 12>You know. TSA has a job to do. But it's

764
00:40:14.119 --> 00:40:16.639
<v Speaker 12>like pulling teeth and it's for a healthy reason. I'm

765
00:40:16.639 --> 00:40:17.639
<v Speaker 12>not gonna tell.

766
00:40:17.480 --> 00:40:21.280
<v Speaker 10>The radio why, but yeah, for pat down and it's

767
00:40:21.320 --> 00:40:25.440
<v Speaker 10>like you know you're yeah, So it's not a lot

768
00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:26.079
<v Speaker 10>of fun at it.

769
00:40:26.599 --> 00:40:29.559
<v Speaker 2>Not a lot of fun, no doubt about that. If

770
00:40:29.599 --> 00:40:32.239
<v Speaker 2>you if you can find the TSA guy, there's a

771
00:40:32.239 --> 00:40:35.199
<v Speaker 2>funny reel with a guy playing a TSA guy that

772
00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:38.400
<v Speaker 2>involved pat downs and other things. You'd laugh at it.

773
00:40:38.639 --> 00:40:40.679
<v Speaker 2>Matt gonna let you run buddy, talk to you soon.

774
00:40:40.719 --> 00:40:44.480
<v Speaker 5>Have a good alright, all right, thank you, thanks So.

777
00:40:48.800 --> 00:40:51.079

778
00:40:51.119 --> 00:40:54.920
<v Speaker 2>of the Canadians versus the US and hockey at Boston Garden.
