BOCR Morning Show 4.10.24

Let's do this, sass in your shape ups. I wake up every morning Boston's only classic rock morning show. I look at myself at the mirror and I go Bybam Dreamer ab I awake dreaming Namos Leek with Pete McKenzie. I'm still vomit before every show other Ford, I feel dirty and unsatisfied. And Kenny Young, yeah's get crazy. In other words, I'm crazy on one hundred point seven. I want you to go hard, fast heavy. You're too it. Here's to the future, will you see, Alex. They're

just so magical. Yeah. Yeah, Well we've been called worse. I'll take magical five point thirty on the nose. How about that time keepers? Uh, this is Wednesday, April tenth forty two. Out's Kenny Young, good morning. Don't listen to him. He's not a virgin messiah. He's more like the patron saint of orgies. I have never been to an orgy. I've never been invited to an orgy. I've seen an orgy room. Yeah, oh really, like it's just all mattresses. We've both very confined.

Well maybe one window. I don't know if there are windows or if they were covered. You know because there seemed to be windows from the outside, but pure pillows Kenny, no mattress, strategically placed shoe box, pillows, No, just a box. There was no table boxes. Were an orgy for it? Well, I don't. I don't know what you needed before. I don't know. It's just pillow. Have you never had clean us after an orgy? I've never been in an or What kind of orgies

are you doing? The kind of orgies where people are I'm not doing any kind of orges, just taking care of themselves. Yeah, I guess all listen, I got enough to worry about where myself and the wife. I don't need to be worrying about whether everyone else. You like, you might want to do some orgy research now, But we've seen an orgy room. I've never been in an orgy. People used it after we left probably no we were. They used it for meditation. I mean, unless I see

visual evidence. I you know, they can tell me whatever they want. Ah, right, you know, believe everything I hear? Uh that Well, I kind of believed that because of what I saw before I left. But yeah, that would Yeah, you know what I'm saying, I do send me a videol and then I'll say, oh, yeah, he had an orgy after Oh no, I don't think there was an orgy. There's just two people. I heard there was just two. I thought you said they had an orgy after No, no, I said they used the room

after we left. Okay, not for an orgy, but for just one on one time. Get one on one with Heather Ford this morning. Okay, look at me. You got eyes with me. You're gonna go first. You over there, you got eyes with me, You're gonna go a second. You come first. I got the gloves on, I got people doing what I'm saying. Everything is run. That's like what it's like to be a teacher. Eyes on me, eyes on the prize, and Pete McKenzie, eye on the prize. Hi there, that's right. I'm pretty

blossom Mountain, Sudbury. Just great bartender Denny, love him, working his ass off. He was the only bartender. He's the one that's given me stock quotes in the past. He didn't even have time to have a discussion about stock quotes. Yes, they were so busy, nice. But what I found fascinating was we got our first we got our drinks in plastic cups, which I was like, okay at a bar the inside, yeah, and then the plates that came were plastic, and the utensils were the dishwasher

broken. They are getting their septic system replaced. Oh yeah, I was. But it was like out of it. I mean, there's no explanation, you know what I mean, You're just all of a sudden getting plastic nice unless yeah, they wouldn't have just come out and say, you know, with the gold leaf rim was it the fancy plastic was gold gold leaf rim around the cups. You know at the grocery store, the fork spoons and knives that are like silver gold And am I going to class up this

picnic or am I going white exactly? Have you seen the plastic disposable plates? They look like China, Yes, that's some of them. Even have the silver ring around the room. That's what these were gold, you know, gold silver ring around the rim on the inside and then around the rim on the outside of the plastic YEA class cups. Were the cups fancy too or just clear plastic? No? I said the cups had a gold leaf

around the rim as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And even the well, the utensils looked you know, they had they were bigger than normal. They weren't white, you know, they were like clear yeah, right, oh, the clear ones, not the goldens. Here's the real question. If you had ordered a martini, would you have gotten a plastic martini glass? That's a good question. Could you order a martini? Do make those? I know I've I never ordered martini there? Could they make amazing?

My ties? A couple of my ties? Yeah? The sushi was plastic. Everything was everything was plastic. Stunsticks were plastic. Chances are that the inside the sushi, inside the fish, right, there's pieces of plastic and all of our fish. So there was probably a theme that you didn't want to run through that. I've come to accept the fact that everything we eat can make us ill in some way. There's nothing we can eat, not even just ill. It's just the little particles of things that go into

us and just create things inside. And that's you know, like I mentioned before the show, we're covered in skin for a reason because so we can't see what's going on inside, because it's all ugly awesomes. Like watching sausage being made, you know, I don't need to know what's on the I'll watch sausage being I will not watch chicken nuggets being made anymore. I will

not watch chicken patties being made anymore. I will not watch all sorts of things where you think there's a shape that's supposed to be there, but it's not natural and they've just made a goo out of something. I won't ever

watch hot dogs being made. I love them grilled up delicious in the summertime, but I will never watch hot dogs being made because I know it's just like a slurry, like a big So the chicken nuggets, ash, can we trust the chicken nuggets that actually have strands of meat and look like chicken, or those okay, because I know it, like you know a chicken nugget that you get from certain restaurants. Fast food restaurants are a slurry that they've made shapes. Yes, yes, did I ever tell you the one?

But can we trust the ones that happen know that look like meat? There's probably parts you can't trust that. When I was in college, I don't even want to say her name, because she's a very unique name and I loved her to death. But during our breaks in between classes, we would go grab some McDonald's because that was her favorite, and she would always get chicken nuggets, okay, And I would be like, I'll get a cheeseburger, and she would say into the loudspeaker, like when you're saying,

she goes only the dark meat nuggets. And I'm like all right. And I didn't know to think any different. This was in like nineteen ninety six. I know, here's how she thought it worked. So in nineteen ninety six, we didn't have the internets the way we do now, and you weren't watching videos of chicken nuggets being made, and maybe some people thought they were made of actual like chicken chunks. Right, So when she would get her package, she'd look inside and if they were the long, skinny ones,

those were white meat nuggets to her. And if they were the small do you remember when they were two shapes, I don't even know if they are anymore. And if they were Donald's, yes, And if they were a smaller circle, she assumed those were the dark meat nuggets, Oh my god. And she would wait and she we'd pull forward and then she'd look through the bag and she'd be like, Nope, they did not do what I asked. And she would walk in and she would demand dark meat nuggets

right ones. How I haven't talked to her in a really long time. That to me is about every chicken nuggets. Yes, yeah, well well all right now it's a key good Yes, I get it. But back then they were two different shapes. Yeah, And she and I wonder. I always wonder when I see the video what goes through her mind now when she realizes it's not white or dark meat, it's feathers. Hopefully that up. It's a long time, hopefully. I don't where they look real,

I don't know. That's what I was going to ask you out there. I think Wendy's it does use like breast meat. I think that's in some capacity, that's the difference. They all use breast meat, but they all use the whole chicken. I mean, that's the whole. I'm going to trust Wendy's on this one. I like how you're working. ZLX weather cloudy. Hey, did either of you watch Game of Thrones? Oh? Yeah, all right, I have bad news for you and me. That spin

off with John Snow has been canceled. Did you even know they were doing? Was that because George R. R. Martin passed away? Oh? Did he? Yeah? I thought I read that he passed away, the author of the books. This was the was before that. They said they couldn't find a storyline that was appropriate. They couldn't find a storyline. All the writers in the world, they couldn't figure that out. To give us some joy, I'm sorry, I take that back. He's still alive.

Yeah, I thought so. Yeah, he's seventy five. I'm sorry, that's okay. ZLX weather cloudy with some rain this afternoon. Highs around sixty, cloudy, with a bit of rain tomorrow two, but highs in the fifties forty two degrees in Boston.

Remember you can reach out and touch someone, well not literally, with the talkback feature on the free iHeartRadio app texs WZX, and you message over to seven oh four to seven. Oh listen. I did a little investigative research. We got a big concert announcement today at noon with Carter Allen. Yes we do. It was supposed to be at ten with us right at the end of this

show today. Who's pushed off? It was pushed off for what whatever reason? I see. Maybe the promoter need to get their ducks in a row. Maybe the band has it. Oh, I may have said too much. The bands may have gotten their ducks. Moore not a solo iarretist this. No, it is a major concert announcement and I'm not pumping up the tires on this. I I was not told by the powers to be here what this concert is? Okay, But I found an alternate. I found

a loophole. Figure out who it was all right, and all I'm gonna say is it's it's a big deal. It's a big deal, and you're gonna want to stick around for it. So when the show though, it's great because we already have a lot of big deals going on this summer around we do we do high noon. You'll get that announcement from Kata, and I believe he will have tickets for it. In fact, I'm ninety nine point pure just like Ivy sar Gold, just like Ivory Sol that you will

be able to win your way into that show. All right, so uh stay put set a reminder on your smartphones for noontime today. All right, we got a lot popping today. We got the Pearl Jam Dark Matter tickets at eight ten at the Classic Rock Clash, you can win your copy of The Who Live at Chase Stadium. There's a lot popping, so again, stay on top of all of it at WZX dot com. From the Planet Fitness, WCLX Studios, Horizon Smile now, now, thanks for making that

part of your morning headlines. Idiot great store on seven WCLX bosson one of the things I saw yesterday when I was just scrolling, uh before I fell asleep, was smoke coming from South Station, and I was like, really, of all the things that could possibly happen, does there have to be you know, opening day, it's lovely, it was like warm and it's a good drive. But people there were dealing with smoke coming out of South Station. So that was a tower under construction that was under fire. And

then the other story that came I saw later is that. Then there's the headline, please seek the idea of two men after a woman was stabbed at South Station. South Station was having a day. Did you see the pictures by the way of the person they're looking for? No, I didn't. I didn't see video of the smoke, though, I'll pull it up because they was it uneasy feeling, wasn't it? Kenny just looking at that building, Yeah, snow coming out of it and let me just up this foot

least. This is such a clear picture of them. If you wondered, go online right now, if you wondered what kind of cameras are set up now and how clear the pictures are? About time, tasty, It is about time. I can make out piercings. Yeah, like that's how high. Definitely, Finally, security cameras have caught up to cell phones and the clarity department exactly get what you pay for, I guess in a security camera. Yep. So the NBTA trans of police asking for the public's health help

identifying two men after a woman was stabbed at South Station on Saturday. Uh. They said they did not know whether the stabbing happened inside or outside, but so the victim was transported with life threatening injuries. Wow. Wow, So South Station relatively it's been staying out of the news. I'd like to go on record real quick as saying that that new tower, which is a mixture of residences and offices, that it's above South Station. I think that

building is cursed. I hate to say it, Okay, I look at it every day. Less than two weeks ago, if you recall, there was a giant I beam that fell that was that building. Yes it was, and I think it hit a taxi but it narrowly missed pedestrians other cars. It was like, it was scary. It's such a convenient place to live though, if I can, can you imagine, I mean, you

don't even have to work in a city. The views that's been there, I know, and hop on I don't know anyway, so South Station made the news and I'm sad for them because I know it's a smoke and stabbing. It's just two things you don't want to associate with. That by the way, and I will I'll also let you guys know that since the the marathon's on Monday, the starting line has been painted. I know that's a

big moment for everyone. Once that happens. The starting line, in the finish line, everything's set up. I'm sure the finish line's been I heard they were already cordoning off areas. Yeah. Yeah, they're going to paint it. Is that today it's gonna they're gonna paint it. I don't know when, but the finish line or the starting line is done. Because of the weather. The weather of the next three days is going to be pretty crappy. Oh so they did it faster than usual, Earlier than the next

couple of days. Is when they start bringing out all the stanchions and the barriers and the Yeah, I mean twenty six miles worth of them. Do you see the other thing that includes a logo because it's the one hundredth anniversary of the start line being in Hopkinson, where was it prior. I have no idea. Oh no, I got to look it up. Will you tell me what's going on? Right? What do you mean? Tell you what's going on? Now? That's all I can tell you. There's a

logo. That's the logo honors the one anniversary. He stops typing, picks up paper. I bet it started in Massachusetts somewhere one hundred years ago. You used to just start from your own door, and then you just joined the race. There are only seventeen people in the race at that point, so really he might not be too far off. Z Alex weather cloudy with some rain this afternoon, a higher around sixty. Cloudy with a bitter ena tomorrow too, but it's colder, highs in the fifties forty two degrees in

Boston. I'm heather Ford on one hundred point seven though you z L six seventeen forty one. That's Kenny Young heather Ford. Pete McKenzie was chuckling it up over there. I'm reading the story you just sent me about Chalmers first Masters. I know, Masters Week, Yeah, big week. They supposed to have crappy weather Thursday, I know, but hopefully it starts without a

hitch. I'd hate to see a Monday finish at the Masters because really, let's face it, there's nothing like the Sunday Masters, you know, a tradition like no other. I can't wait to I can't wait to play the music when the sun's coming up at Augusta on that day one and Jack Nicholas and Gary Player to tee it off first started again. Oh, I'm getting chills, feather like this week I just said, Thursday is supposed to be pretty crappy. Oh sorry, but it is rainy, wendy. What yeah,

just crap weather. I mean, hopefully it's not snow. It's Augusta, I know, but it's crap exactly. Well, hopefully the weekend shapes up for them down there, because it always makes for some good watch and that's when you get people watching golf that don't usually watch Golf Master Sunday. It happens a golf course, I'll never play, that's right. Oh really, there's no chance. It's hard enough to get there to get ticket, you know what I mean, it's hard enough to get tickets for a round

to like watch during the turn. Absolutely, as told in that story by Chalmers, that's right. Yeah, we will. I'd like to share that tomorrow when we kick off Master's weekend here listen. I'd like to talk a little further south though, I'd like to talk about the city of my JAMMI. Yeah, Miami's hosting a big Grand Prix F one race. How'd you like to be there for it?

All right, listen on the way next, I've got a band who said they only recorded their groundbreaking landmark album debut album for one reason, and that was so they had an excuse to go on

the road. They couldn't afford to tour the country on their own, and they said, you know, now that we got a record deal, they even told the record company, we're just gonna put this out so you'll put us out on the road and pay for our travel. Right. Well, when this album was released, a couple of the band members said, you know, we figured if we sold one hundred thousand copies of this next album,

You might need a little noseber. I've never been, but as I understand it, five nights. I've never been like five nights in Vegas.

You know, that's tough. You're looking at the wrong person every time I tell everybody how I feel about it. At all I know is I wore open toes shoes one morning and they were and they were hosing puke and pee off of the sidewalks. But in their defense, I was in a very touristy area, and so all the people that were behaving poorly were not from New Orleans. Yea, they were US transplants. But yeah, this

New Orleans Jazz Fest, it gets bigger and better every year. They've been doing it forever, and it's just about every genre of music you can think of. But as I said, we got some great class rock headliners for you. So you'll get the Grand Marshall VIP passes up close near the main stage. You get your own hospitality and restrooms and all that.

New Orleans Jazz Fest twenty twenty four. Full details and disclosure posted up at WZX dot com from the Planet Fitness WCLX Studios, Horizon Now, thanks for making us part of your morning headlines with great story. Thank

god, one point seven WCLX, Boston. I want to, you know, bring anyone down right now. But today is I'm going to I'm going to give you a happy story at the end of that. But today's one year since my dog Bear passed away. And I love that dog. He was probably the nicest. Pete used to call him a man in a dog costume. Yeah, he sure did look like one. Yeah he's not as big as my Danes. That's a year already. Yeah, but I remember getting the call at the end of work and it just everything was just so

screwed up. But he he he was one hundred pounds of love. He wasn't an Irish wolf found one, No, he was. He was a giant snoodle. He was. He was really one hundred and six pounds and he was just so kind and so loving. Yeah, even when I showed up in that Halloween costume with frills all over it, he was still he was really surprised to see something like and he all over the floor, he pete on the floor, but he didn't go into a tack mode. No,

No, He's so kind and gentle, that dog. Yeah. And you know the funny part is we got him because a listener had been showing up at my house when we lived in Hull and calling the station and saying, hey, you don't get good cell service at your house, And I'm like, what, how do you know where I live? So then I was like, no more of these little dogs, We're getting a big dog. Well, we ended up getting a big dog that peede when people walked into the house. So that was the only time he ever did that,

which was good. He only actually did it one more time when someone wore a costume, so two times was when people were I gotta tell Kenny. My favorite thing about watching that dog run Kenny. It was like a thoroughbread when he ran, like you could all gate, you could almost hear the hoofs go. He was graceful, he was very grace. We had friends that used to call him a ballerina because for the size he was. He was like, are you sure that dog's not a vallerina? Absolutely positive,

that dog's not a ballerina. But so's it's one year. So I'm going to follow that up because it's weighing on my mind with a happy story. But it will be even happier if it has a happy ending. And that up, but a real one, not a fake one from us. The sex video. A kitten wearing a strawberry dress was found in Everett and people want to know if you recognize this kitten in a sty and I mean, like, I'm this is a still shot of the dress. Yeah, it

was a kitten in a dress. Oh well, there's another distinguishing factor about this kitten. It's got two sets of front paws. Two set what Yeah, it's got double front pause. That's what they said they set on the news. Oh, they said they found it an address curled up in a driveway. I did not realize this poor cat had like six paws something like that, four up front and two in the back. Well, I mean it said something about the pause being double up front. So I'm not sure

if they had six sets of pause. It turns out that cat's also a viral sensation on TikTok. Would they have seen any of the music videos that cat's done? Right? Wow, this kitten is extremely affectionate. And they said the family must be missing her. Yeah, so if you've been missed. I mean it's so specific. If you have a kitten that you don't have in your house anymore, and you put a dress on that kitten covered in strawberries, they have your kitten. Maybe that kitten slipped into that dress.

I don't think sorry had pineapples on us ever. In Animal Control said the cat wearing the little white dress with strawberries and a red bow is looking for a home. It was by the Parliment School. And I hope I'm saying that right on Broadway. So if you've again, if you've lost a kitten in a strawberry dress. I have never put clothes on a kitten before. I feel like that's much more difficult than putting clothes on a dog. I feel like clothes are more fit for dogs usually well, they're just they're

just they give up, they don't care what you do. Like we put a Yoda costume on Bro when he was a little tiny Bro and he's a police and it looked legit. But that's the only time I've done something like that. He's got you what they all all pugs Yoda face. Well, they have e T face have dressed him up as et, but I just kind of put him in the Yoda just because that's what they have. Yeah, by the way, they are getting ready for the marathon, and Hopkinson

they have painted the starting line. I thought that's what when they usually did it. Peede in for me that they did it early because of the crappy weather that's coming. And you also mentioned that the logo, the logo mentioning it's been one hundred years at the Hopkinson starting line. And then we asked, well, where was it before that, and Ken goes, well,

everybody just left their house running. Apparently it was Ashland, so okay, not far away they did, which is two miles away because we used to do the bar appearance there which was two miles in right, I think so about that. So I'm wondering if they did another loop somewhere in there to add some some distance, or they just measured it wrong. They're like, listen, just run from here to the city. It's a marathon. We

believe you. So when you get to the water stop. Yeah, and you're going to start seeing all these stories and hearing about all these stories related to the marathon in the next week, or maybe you have already. But there's a New England woman from Vermont preparing to fulfill a dying wish to run the Boston Marathon on She's from Essex, Vermont, so she's training for the marathon and she's They're saying, you know, it's hard enough to do that.

But Mary Williams has a brain tumor so and she is trained, she's running atha. Yeah, she goes some days, my stomach just feels off and there's a lot of fatigue or sometimes there's dizziness. I've dealt with vertigo, so she was diagnosed with the grade too. I cannot say. The name of this tumor is a lot of letters. It ends in lioma. Two years ago her doctor told her she had ten years to live. Wow, I can't run a marathon now. I can't do it. Can either

of you run this marathon? I have no desire to, not the desire. I don't physically, I physically can't this woman who's given ten years to live and she's running a marathon. I'm terrible at exercising. I'm terrible. I'm not good at it. You have to be good at exercising to run a marathon, right, I understand that, But you can. Some people aren't and they just do it. They just power through it. I can't. I cannot even power through it. You don't have to run the whole

way. In my opinion, I know that was Ke's opinion. We don't have the other p That was Rosy Ruiz's opinion. Yeah, that was the Red Line's opinion. Is what that rose? The Lex weather For those of you who don't know, she won the Boston Marathon one year after taking a Red Line train for quite a bit of it. She just popped up out of nowhere. Is that when they started running with the car in front to make sure that whoever was in first place was on camera for the entire time.

The Lex weather cloudy with some rain this afternoon in a high round sixty. Cloudy with a bit of rain tomorrow as well, but those highs are cooler, in the fifties forty two degrees in Boston. I'm Heather Ford on one hundred point seven w ZLX. We're a bunch of bloody magicians. One hundred point seven w ZLEX, Boston's only classic rock morning show. Little Randy

Rhods era of the Osman. Forty seven, twenty three, forty two degrees sunshine today, mixture of clouds this afternoon, a little bit cooler than yesterday. Man, yesterday, I gotta tell you, and I know we're going to get into this at seven forty into the home opener festivities yesterday. But what a day, beautiful day, spectacular, spectacular, great data, honor a team from twenty years ago, and then go flat. I know, I know, I know we'll get into all we'll break it all down.

But on a more positive note, I'd like to talk about cold, hard cash. I'd like to talk about money for a second here. Uh, this just in mega millions is already up over one hundred and twenty million. That was the previous billion dollar Jackbot four power ball already. Wow, happen, It happened so Fastikes, this was our time to win because it's like an amount that's a lot of money. Yeah, but it's not so big.

It's not. Yeah, global impact money, right, I mean you remember that one point one three billion that went to one person in Jersey that was the Mega millions. It seemed like it just happened, right, yeah does yeah? Yeah, And then uh so that's going to be Friday night Tonight's power Balls thirty one million, because you know the person Oregon hit that billion dollar last weekend. So this Powerball mega money is not the money you

speak of. It is not. It is not. I'd like to talk about money and a opportunity to grab that money with much better odds, now, much better odds. Well, the bank accounts have been refilled here at the headquarters, and we're going to pass the savings along to you starting next Monday. Yes, Patriots Day marethon Monday, April fifty. We're kicking off the middle of April. The one thousand dollars bribe returns. Yeah, thirteen opportunities to grab a grand every hour on the tens. All right, your

thousand dollars bribe is back on Monday. So I thought i'd just plant that seat. I thought i'd give you something to look forward to, all right, So it's going to be I think it's what thirteen times every weekday on the tens. So you have thousand dollar bribes coming back, be prepared for it. We give you the keywords boom, going to earn you a nice thousand dollars payoff. I know it pales in comparison to a billion dollar j but like I said, the odds are much better. It is Boston's only

classic rock morning show. This is one hundred point seven w z l X seven forty one forty two. It's getting young Pete McKenzie, heatherfore let's go. Yes, So, what's going on with Boston's only classic rock morning show on one hundred point seven wc LEX. I know I like to vibe on this background music for the what's going on feature? But today we're all about yesterday, which of course was opening day friendly Fenway Park. Let's get into it. If we shall hear well, I would the music we're playing.

You know the music we're playing, you'd hear it. Oh yeah, yeah, that's what happens sometimes. Let's try this again. Take two. There we go, fire up the organs. Yes, I gotta tell you so. I raced out of here at like ten thirty ten thirty five, and I had about an hour's drive from here to Fenway. I gotta tell you every surface row, every highway, it was just chaos opening day. But I got to tell you also that it was one of the nicer opening days

weatherwise in recent history. A jewel. I mean, I can't tell you how many times have gone down there man in the street style, bundled up in winter clothing, knit caps, gloves. Dare I say? I mean even last year it was sunny, but it was like forty degrees and a whip and wind. Yeah, I'm sure Major League Baseball is going to make a habit out of it now. Yeah, those the Tigers, the Indians, the Pirates, all these teams in the northeast, ye head south or

west. Wait till the second or third week April. Look how beautiful it was yesterday. Was in the mid sixties. Yeah, you know, I had my short pants on some down there doing my live reports cutting into the Carter Allan broadcast. And I met some great people down there yesterday before we get into the actual game. I met some great people down there, like the Hockey couple. Here, we have some morning show super fans, please name rank and serial number. Jennifer Hockey. I'm sorry, did you say

Hockey? Absolutely? Hockey. Your last name's Hockey. I'm gonna need to see some photo ID on that. Okay, And you are Dan Hockey, the real mister Hockey. Oh you're mister Hockey. Yep, Gordie. Who what where'd you guys come in from today for Opening Day? Crazy? Yeah? How many times you've been to a Sox opening day? Fanway Paul Park? No fun intended coming today? One? This is your first time first opening day? Oh my god? And you're born and raised in Quinsey.

I gotta ask you after the boring stuff, I would have to say, I gotta cut myself off here. It had to be like maybe they were in their late forties, early fifties. I was like what. I was astounded? Oh, their last name is Hockey. But that was the first home opener had ever been to. I I was like, Wow, really last year? Right? Or finished last year? Are you feeling better about the team this year coming off that ten game road trip? Yes? Absolutely?

You got the speedster Jared Duran, you had Tristan Cassis coming off what shaping up to be a good season. Who else are you excited to see here today? I hope we don't have to use them. But Kenley Jansen, we don't have to use them. I like that. Well, mister and missus Hockey, we appreciate you joining us here. Yeah, they ironically we didn't have to see uh Ke Jansen. Yeah, I'll tell you what before I before I get into the score here too. Uh. There was

just so much hope and so much promise with everybody I talked to. Everyone felt like after that seven and three start on the road, hey, they're coming home like this isn't this is a new team, Like there's new blood, there's new energy and everyone for the most part, and of course the weather has something to do with it, and it's you know, the home opener, and of course the two thousand and four World Series champions were on set. Enormous. There was so much added into this it was too much

to handle. Yeah. Yeah, And I met another guy, uh that came all the way up from down South to see the game yesterday. All right, I'll tell you why you get some diehards here on opening day. I'm joined by Rob and Luke. Rob and Louke Roup. You were just telling me how far you came to be here today for Socks opening Day. Yeah, I'm from Nashville, Tennessee, originally from Brockton. All right, but you made the city champions, You made the trip up here from Nashville.

What are you doing down in Nashville, buddy? Doing security down there for a couple of bars on Broadway. So quick side note. Did you hear about that country singer Morgan Wallen who got arrested for throwing a chair off of a roof deck bar. Don't hear that story this guy apparently. But according to this guy who shall remain nameless, that's one of the bars he works at. And he wasn't there at the time, but that was one of the bars that he worked at that that happened. You had the poll,

the allure of Opening Day to come home. How psyched do we about Opening Day twenty twenty four as opposed to last year? Very excited? A great team this year, so hopefully we can make a run, right, lou Don't we have that sense that renewed optimism that this city isn't as crappy as we thought? No? Absolutely, no, I mean I've seen the last what they'd done on the road so far, and the environment's good and sunshining, so I mean, Opening Day don't get much better than this,

lie boy, thanks for dropping by here the House of Blues. Let's go so say again, this is pregame that this was going on. So yeah, I also made the obligatory stop up at the Sausage Guy, talked to Dave Man. Dave there, it's Tim yesterday who produced a collaborative beer he did with Lord Hobo. There's an official Sausage Guy amber lager that Lord Hobo did. So I haven't cracked into it yet because again, I had over an hour ride home, so I wanted to let it chill properly before I

gave it a try. But I did run into this other listener who was listening to yesterday's show, and we ran that segment about a fellow named Jim Bintliff, the mud Guy. So he owns the one company that provides the mud to Major League Baseball, to every Major League Baseball team that they rub on the balls before the game, conditioned them. So this guy, Bernie, super fan of the show in the station. He pulls me aside. He goes, I got something for you. I heard you talking about the

mud Guy. Okay, pulls out of his pocket a laminated official tops Allen and Ginter relic baseball card featuring the likeness of not Bill Belichick, who it looks like, but Jim Bintliff, the mud guy, has his own baseball Bernie. That's wow, unbelievable that he even this guy's card. And I was like, I said, let me take a picture of he goes no, I brought this for you. I have others. I was like, al ka, okay, so a very rare find from the world of baseball.

And then of course the pregame festivities. As I said, part of that was members of the four world champion World Championship curse breaking team showed up and while I'm talking to Bernie, the duck boats carrying them stops right in front of us, and there's big Poppy six feet away from me, Manny Ramirez and the one behind him Jay Not just attack Derek Lowe like yeah,

all these amazing players on that team. That's cool. And they stopped there so that they can get wrangled and brought in through a secret door to emerge from the wall later on. Right, But Manny Ramirez got caught up with reporters. What is standing you telling you that we all getting over you still love it twenty years man, especially when you come back and meet the guys. You know, I know we're coming right in our SA situation. We

lost one of our family team that four championship. Yeah see they all remember that one. You know you're you can't forget you first, as it were, right, not going inside the wall to p manny, come on. So they did the whole video presentation before the game. It was supposed to start a two ten. The game didn't start till like after two thirty. But another highlight and another poignant moment was the tribute they did to Tim Wakefield

and his wife Stacy, as you know, passed away. When the four team came out from center field, they were with a bon in Trevor Wakefield, the children of the Wakefields. And I'm telling you it's not a dry eye in the house. I got a little misty watching Brehanna threw a knuckleball to Jason Veritek the celebratory first pitch. So it's just a beautiful moment, beautiful tribute. But then of course the game rolled around and as we know, as we know, we got thumped. You know, the socks just

happened to go up against the Oriole's best hurler in Burns. It was that lost fly ball in the sun. That really Yeah, of Corbyn. Burns not to be confused with Corbyn. Burnson was just lights out for the Orioles. Pitching wise, gave a great start, Kenny. You know you had all the festivities, the flair, the socks actually taking a one nothing lead, right, Yeah, thanks to Tyler O'Neill, who's just been red hot.

Well, of course O'Neill has homeward on opening day, the first game of the season in five consecutive years, which is the major league record. How about doing that on opening date Fenway. Yeah, Tony made a lot of friends here talk fil walks. There's probably God was totally call him. He has a feel for the moment, doesn't know Aldi. He calls out, I'm gonna go on the record. So that was called by old because the next pitch goes over the monster. Yeah, you got ahead of Carva.

How do we lose that game? Dave O'Brien point I know Dave O'Brien from nesson on the call. Kevin Malar was in the box for the game along with lu Marlone. I know there was so much promise that one nothing lead early on in this uh in the bottom of the first the big introductions, that is perfect again in the I know, I know, seven to one your final from the old Ballyard. They'll give it another go tonight. But h man, all things considered, I know they lost, I know

they lost it, but it was just it was a magical day. It was a beautiful day. I start the season there over at Fenway, so probably be a smaller crowd tonight. I'm guessing. I'm thinking. I'm just guessing. Seven fifty one now approaching the eight o'clock hour. Keep in mind at eight ten when your new copy of Pearl Jam's Dark Matter on vinyl, we'll also hook you up with a pair of passes to go to an exclusive listening party at Showcase Legacy Place. Listen to the album before it's even released.

From ZX from a Planet Fitness, WCLX Studios, Horizon Now, thanks for making that part of your morning lines. Great story on WCLX Bosson or South Station all over the social media's yesterday, it's just smoke coming from this a hecks. There's a curse on that new building. I'm telling you tower supposed to have, like you say, apartments and condos and offices, offices and beam went through it last year, the giant beam fell off of it last week or week before, super fun and smoke coming out of it.

Yesterday and this weekend there was a stabbing at South Station, but with the if there is a highlight to it. By the way, the woman was taken to the hospital with life threatening injury. So that's the awful part is that the cameras in South Station are chef's kiss because I could pick out piercings on these two guys they're looking for. I mean, these are some if you happen to be in the South Station area last weekend, take a look at this picture. See if you remember anything. I mean it is you

can see the curls in the one man's hair. How about if you own a business, take a look at the picture and see if your pictures from

your cameras with your security system hold up to this. Well the ring doorbell does, I mean, this is high deaf, but we've seen so many pictures in the past that are blurry fuzzy, wondering why I don't just use a ring doorbell because those are like high depth videos you're watching, you could see like the different thread that's used to put a button on someone's shirt and a ring doorbell. Yeah, it's not going to take long for them to

find these. Just saying this way, if you own a business and you're worried about it getting broken into this camera is like, you are going to catch these two? Oh my god? Yeah, no question unless they fleet and are on the runner. They're California bound, already buried somewhere. Who knows what's going on. But anyway, that was South Station with some fine advice on future cameras so clear. The other thing we've been kind of addressing

all morning is the marathon. They they painted the starting line or they got it all ready to go because the weather's going to be so crappy starting this afternoon, they're not going to have time to do it right. So we were talking in pizza. There's a new logo and it says, you know, one hundred years of starting in Hopington. So that was six o'clock and then we were all like, oh, where did they start? And we made jokes about they just left their homes and just started running, Kenny said.

And so then seven o'clock we were like, oh, a listener emailed me and said, by the way, they started in Ashland. So then I was like, well, then what did they do if they started there, that's a couple of miles down the road. Did they have to add something to the race? And then now it's eight o'clock we have an update update Apparently this starting line situation is there are people with knowledge and I think you got a text. I got a text from a mutual acquaintance of Carter

Allen. Jimmy, so a smart person. Jimmy says that it started at the MBTA in Ashland, which I mean, I've been there, but that doesn't mean much to me. I think that's the one up the hill by the dunkin Donuts. If I'm not mistaken. On one thirty five? How many did they have Ashland? They have multiple MBTA stops, good question. I doubt it. It's not that big of town. Maybe just one. So there, that's where it started. So we've solved the mystery. It's

question mark. I don't really know if we've I trust you, thank you. I don't. I do. I kind of do, but I feel like even after we get information, we get like follow up information so I believe it, but I just don't. I have no idea. But the also, we were looking for the owners of a kitten in a strawberry dress earlier this morning. And when I say that, I'm not affectionately named this cat strawberry Strawberry. This is not me just making up words and putting them

into a sentence to say things. In Everett, there was a kitten found curled up, and the kitten was wearing a beautiful white dress with strawberries on it and a giant boat. Yes, actually would look and went over to the shoulders, cool and it was. It was singing a cappella with an auto tune, de ice, wasn't it. I don't know if kittens sing about kitten. The kitten was busking on the side of the street trying to

earn a couple bus in that old old strawberry fields forever, sir. If you've put a dress on a kitten, which I'm assuming is, it's not easy to do because cats don't like to be dressed. Otherwise we'd see lots more pictures like we do dogs of cats and costumes. But uh, if you've done that and you're missing your cat, go collect your cat, right, is that that's a pretty I mean, I would say if the strawberry dress isn't enough. They also reported on the news that this kitten has double

front paws. I didn't see that. Yeah, that's crazy, like two sets of front paws, I think so, or just extra pads. Are just extra pads, oh, like all in one, like just a ton of pads on each of the front paws like a catcher's mit. Yes, I've seen that before. Anyway, go collect your cat because your cat's sad. And they said, this is a lovely cat. Is a kitten, It's just a baby. Plus the dress has got stains on it by now it's a whole thing. It does not it looked. It looked lovely and

beautiful in the pictures. Is the alex weather cloudy with some rain this afternoon and high around sixty. Cloudy with a bit of rain tomorrow too, but it's cooler. Highs in the fifties forty two degrees in Boston. I'm Heather Ford on one hundred point seven Double Z Elects. Listen. I have a couple of selections to perform for you here, or rather Led Zeppelin does. But you can win your copy of Pearl Jam's latest record, Dark Matter,

before it's even released. We'll also get you into the listening party next week Showcase Legacy Place. Listen up at eight ten to score that package at eight twenty two forty two degrees. And this Wednesday it's Kinny Young, Pete McKenzie, heather Ford. It's happened again for United Airlines. It happened back in February where a flight was diverted because the door flew off because well was that United? I don't know part of the wings. Now this is when the

dog pooped on the plane back in February. Well, guess what it did again? It happened again. Not the same dog this time though. Oh, you need to keep you always cleary if we are going to be providing you with more information once we do have a sis here and direction for the direction from our count because a mile hazard. You know, we had a haad diary all the way to the airplane until they want to go back to the animal. Whoa man all the way through the airplane. Poor dog,

Oh my god. It shouldn't be in a crate, even if it's a service dog. No. I think it depends on the size emotional support. Animals I don't think have to be created or in a bag. Well, no, you can't put a can't put a Golden Retriever under the seat right right, So they have they make big crates. Yeah, but it wouldn't fit in one plane seat. Seed. You know, people used to put their dogs under, you know, with the luggage. Yeah, but no one does that anymore. So my question is this is different for dogs,

you know? I mean people fly all the time. And I'll tell you my first flight. I was queasy and I was twenty some years old on my first airplane flight. I easily could have spelled my guts somewhere, but I held it in. I helped myself together. You're not a dog but an animal. Yeah, I don't get it. I just why are they allowed, even if it's a service dog and it's too big to be in a crate? Why they allowed? It's a new experience for them, and

it's just going to create chaos for every passenger. Used to fly with her Boston Terrier all the time and it never became an old experience for that dog. And that dog was under the seat, that dog was stressed. These poor flight attendants had to put on hazmat suits and for two hours because the dog went all the way down the aisle, right yeah, and nobody could use the restroom because it got to the restroom and did its business in there

too. So you're on that plane, Pete, it lacks the imposable thumbs to flush the toilet. I don't know what you're thinking about. Yeah, well it's hard to flush a toilet from the middle of an aisle. Yeah, when you're not even near the toilet. Right. Well, when reached for comment that the dog had a lot to say about this. Yeah, what you eat? Yeah, you had fast food before, I hand. I love dogs, but on planes, Well, if that doesn't explain it,

I don't know what. Well here right, Yeah, that's one hundred point seven w u z L A Boston's only classic rock morning show, eight thirty nine. Kenny Young, Pete McKenzie, Heather Ford and uh, let's go out to the uh start of the marathon route and hopkinson for Bobby. What's up, Bobby? Hey, how's everybody doing today? Are we doing? Hey?

You'll also you'll also take the Who Live at Chase Stadium, the audio set for the first time release from eighty two Classic Show Final Tour with Kenny Jones on the drums.

Meanwhile, Guns N' Rouses eight forty two ZLX, Boston's only classic rock morning show eight forty four degrees Kiddy, Pete McKenzie Heather forward with you on this Wednesday, and I'm gonna tell you this about that. As we look south to the Boston Skyline, the seaport is just ever growing. I don't know the last time you've been up close and personal on the Seaport

downtown. I was down there to visit that put shack that's down there a few weeks back, and it's the Seaport seems like a different city to me every time I visit it. It's just sometimes it doesn't even seem like the same place. It doesn't. It doesn't what used to be like vacant lots years ago. There's skyscrapers, there's a whole new skyline. It's crazy down there, and they just keep adding to it. It's like they all made

themselves look exactly like the Convention Center like that. I feel like that one in modern glass, and then everything just kind of builds up around it, right, and it all kind of goes together when you think about it, like Marie Anthony's Pier four used to be. There's a bunch of buildings there now good reason to go downtown. Then, yeah, well that's why confused. That's why for the first time in the country, they're opening the Ultimate

Formula one Entertainment Experience. I took a tour of that place video tour F one Arcade. Oh it's beautiful, it's beautiful. Yeah, you can get details and take a look for yourself. We've got to post it up at w ZX dot com. They're gonna have not sixty eight, not seventy, but sixty nine cutting edge, full motion, top of the line simulators to

give you the Ultimate F one experience. This sounds like a blast. Of course, they're going to have a world class, top notch kitchen and cocktails there too, you know, to enhance the experience before or after, whatever the case may be. So to celebrate the opening of the first US location, we're giving you a shot every day this week at four to ten with Chuck to win a one hundred and fifty dollars gift card to the forthcoming F

one Arcade. I say that because it's not open till the twenty second, but this way you'll be ready to go with your friends, all right. Not only that, but at the end of the week, up for grabs, a trip to Fabulous Miami is up for grabs. And keeping with the theme of the new F one Arcade that's coming to the seaport, win a

trip to the Miami Grand Prix F one race. Yes, you can be there on Cinco de Mayo in Miami to catch all the race action, airfare, hotel, grand stand passes, be up close personal as those cars come whizzing by you at incredible speeds. So yeah, the Miami Grand Prix experience again. Bonus chance to enter online WZX dot com. But four to ten this afternoon with Chuck, I just looked up the weather at eight point fifty

right now in Miami on South Beach seventy five degrees. So yeah, if you need it a little bit warmer in your life, you need it to hit eighty. Might be close to ninety by May fifth, but hey, we've got you covered here again. Full details of disclosure wzx dot com. One other POINTSWZLX. Hand claps are not optional. Boston's only classic rock morning show one hundred point seven WZLX. What's up? I just want to say that the blimp is back. You look over your shoulder heat and so apparently

it's not just opening day? Is that the Dix blimp? The blimp is back, Dick Sporting Goods. I always find blimps unnerving. I don't I can't explain it. Yeah, no, I've been in a hot air I have. Yeah, I just well, just seeing them in the sky, seeing airplanes, Okay, helicopter's fine. But there's something about a slow moving blimp that freaks me out. And is it because they move laterally? I don't know. I don't know what the reason is. It distracted me enough.

Whereas I was behind the wheel yesterday doing probably sixty miles an hour, I took a picture of it out the side window of my truck. Oh, I did see. It's just something we see flying. Not a great idea all the time, but blimps are weird. They're fun to ride, I'll tell you, are wonderful until you realize you have to land it. Man, they're pushing this new Dick Sporting Goods downtown pretty damn hard. I mean you hear the spots this TV in the city joke spots for it.

Yes, blimbs. I wonder if they're going to have those giant spotlights in the sky at night and shape like you know what, sure like a giant. Speaking of things in the sky, we've been talking about this all morning, and a lot of you weighed in on where the Boston Marathon actually began one hundred years ago, So a point taken from all fifteen of you. But there's something else you should look for in the skies and don't be alarmed

by it. Between April eleventh and Monday the fifteenth, there is going to be low flying aerial radiation assessment surveys. What this means is is helicopters are going to be going up and down the marathon route as they do every year, as part of a regular security preparation for marathon Monday. Cool. Good, Okay, So if you're seeing helicopters over and over again over the next five days or so, don't be alarmed. It's it's all for our safety,

the runner safety, and the integrity of the event. So you know, it's just regular, it's routine. It's sad that it's regular routine though. Yeah, they have to do radiation assessment. No, absolutely sad. Why not using drones? There probably are? Oh I think there's going to be drones. Drones, Well you know what they I don't know, because

they would want to make sure that no one else flew drones over. You'd have to spend a lot of time stopping someone be like like, ooh look drones, let's get mine, And then you have to spend a lot of time getting people he has a helicopter, No, no, let's get mine. But everybody has drones, right, Runners. I'm sure you've already been looking at the weather forecast, but the early forecast as of today, right now April to tenth, looks like a low to mid sixties. Yeah.

It looks great for the spectators, not so much for the runners. Yeah, that could be hot, right. I think they like it in the fifties, don't they? Those athletes a little cloudy too. Listen, we'd like to clear things up. Carter Allen is on his way in next here, King of the Middays at eleven ten, your next shot to win a brand new copy of Dark Matter, the new Pearl Gym album on vinyl. Plus he'll hook you up with passes to a listening party before the album gets

released. They're doing one night only at select theaters. We have showcase Legacy Place tickets to awards. So listen up next to eleven ten with Carter. Then then I can't stress this enough. You have to be listening to w Z LEX at noon today, high noon.

And Pete, Before all that happens, I just want to say tomorrow is going to be a very special day here at w Z X, because we'll be getting into some some Masters talk, won't Well, we get to start talking about a teams and I've got you know, I've written my text for tomorrow morning already just waiting to send, and it all says is the Masters. This is just not the most we'll talk as

beautiful way to end the show to the start tomorrow. I couldn't wait till tomorrow, Pete. But yeah, we're going to be getting into the masters talk. We're going to find out where Pete's putting the sandwiches tomorrow better than what we were talking about where things are being put yesterday with Pete. Right,

good job, well done. Here we go out over you say over, Boston's only classic rock morning show, returning tomorrow morning, five thirty to ten till then think about doing the same with the Mackenzie, Heatherford and Kenny. If it stops, what's stomping it and what's behind what's stomping it? So what's the end for the nearly one hundred point seven dolls clx
