And and I. Driver about -- Schiavo on Joyce. From rodeo road into my chest is a classic stunning beauty you meet Javon Joyce. In India the reason accord bringing Indian -- lived in -- violent. -- yet to meet some of these classic classic. Beautiful stunning women -- an election Rogers and it to where it's implement.

Aren't they. Only have those truths are what red hats everywhere -- aren't children he's waxing nostalgic about the beautiful girl. In Church. And Daria and that this is emblematic of the very best that America can't be and probably be members of -- unnatural light and Monroe.

Which allows me to jump back to the call that ended the first please remember somebody pay him just on me every just haul all inter -- to -- what took me to telescopes parachute she's very happy and -- United yup that's it took me to task in San I don't think you get it. Dearest so many people out the -- rip -- off the system they go to what did you say doctor wrapped -- a summer off. -- a summer a private -- cool write the note. I don't need to noted in my contract propelled going to a notebook -- and -- start to some solace. It's just fine so some so -- that that says are you a Indian day Richard Joe and John imagine whatever -- They can't possibly perform their duties and basically people punch and out. From mid June so low Labor Day hah -- in its re open up the system whether it's com. Whether it's an unemployment way point between. Whether it's something else whether it's this disability are cared for -- This firefighter put in in gives a bad name to everyone and everything my thought is after talking -- Miriam -- segment. Was this. -- Front knowledge of perspective experience I don't disagree with one thing she said I disagree with the conclusion however -- her conclusion is that essentially everyone's doing. Everyone's ripping off the system because your job -- job by necessity has a narrow focus. It would be is if you and Iowa homicide cops and the only things we see the most horrible sat eating imaginable -- it failed. I'm sorry it's breakfast and a bit yeah I can see and from that picture your instrument that you'd you'd Kendra limited world view when -- fact of the matter is. That most. I think employees in the private sector as well as important to me and emphasizes public sector. Are doing their jobs and it day to day basis find out this and are not the way and not have -- established -- rip off the boss. Rip off the insurance company written off anybody else and you can -- just get a handful. Clouds and then then they have a problem and that just makes people that people then say oh it's everybody. That's right I had an alias rock.

But does that make what it does is is it holds over too well public officials and you'll hear. I was at a party this weekend where there -- a number of troopers and and there's a group on one side of the Eric you know that was -- of them and me you know and I group on the other side that was defending themselves. And basically comes from one to anecdotal stories and they think that all troopers have. Benefits. Accused of benefits you know I get double triple time in any idea idea how to so it's selling your perspective in the grass isn't always screen not always great.

Or call 6172666868. Is the number. It looks as if we have Ed Kelly from the Boston -- Is on the line he's been a -- Iran for parents form from time to time we welcome packet Kelly good -- and head.

why you honestly -- ally and well and rate your ears musty ringing. Actually out just call us here I don't shoot artillery and -- like that it is is beautiful will select mask.

Wait did you think that -- can't think we shoot do you think I got a little ticked off fifty that's about -- Indian everybody -- an iPod seventy entered every single guy and most married guys enjoyed just a run on. Jevon and by the way let me just mention about you -- just thrilled that you're spending twenty minutes gone on -- send us how to confront the Donna said to have that now you said you're gonna talk about survived -- not nearly -- idea. --

Is beautiful Suharto -- it yet she is yeah. Not quite as beautiful place.

Well thank you already you born running batic Getty Galilee just want to get back and house so our collars at. -- Thomas sucking up to you because. -- position.

Both forgot just --

How are not going to have anything to do it Dorchester was because your position at the firefighters so. I'm saying what my my point that nobody seems to think it's important -- jump in and ask you because Tommy is just he can't mr. -- an abrupt way he's crap that's fast. So while I'm up in my. -- a my point was that look as outrageous as this may appear to meet this guy who applied for disability because he can't do is inspectors' job so he says. And so says is doctor for the firefighters he can go to the gym everyday pump up and win a body building contest and I said. You know maybe vista's out prematurely because frankly he hasn't been approved yet he's apply. The -- against the brew while it appears as though it's gonna go through its due diligence what's your take on this are we making too big deal about it is it anecdotal and how often does it really happen that you find someone within the system who who has abused it.

Well it's my spot. I bought it sent anyone to -- that system in a very dangerous job. Ample benefits were fought -- ought to put place to protect. Me myself five. Squad apparently occurred over job. And anyone out of usenet system absolutely no room for I want them. I want due diligence. To protect those benefits for those of us work. -- this city but I Latin. But in this particular case first of all anyone into one and apply. For that works for any town some obvious. Anyone can walk in the -- out from time -- And there's a a process so that. It goes through a panel of Fox's. Own thought that the yeah. Table it'll block as the concur with that. The city but retirement or medical before the atoll site called parent. Before elections in the pool. Was quite an intensive process before you who does use it to. It can take. And since in jewelry.

Can be over EM down an apparent if I recall that Kelly. What target -- Kelly he's the head of the Boston firefighters union as we discussed the eight. Our globe story yesterday about the body build a fight -- fight Arroyo who has applied for and I think that's. One of at -- main point simply apply it hasn't been given but. Nonetheless the brazen ness of this I think is is almost breathtaking. But it Kelly reminds us that Iraq guys believe that was put in place. As part of a disability pension abused response by the legislature matched by the legislatures and thankfully I think -- yeah I think you may have so that the locals weren't going to get it wasn't just the locals and have sign up. At another level another level of professional so the rip off of the system. Is less and less likely to occur if it happens -- checks if Athens at all and that's a good pointed Kelly. You know that -- that we reminded of that no question about it.

Let's just sitting on any. I I don't believe it it's it's very intent of the price to book growth.

any -- do you keep last hour I I regretted that I didn't ask this question of the commissioner. Do you keep any sort of -- habit. -- Firefighters who come forward and apply in rejected versus those that are approved.

I don't keep -- want to know and I don't bowl on.

Many if any -- the properly and it I think.

Good thing just I and you know I'm a huge supporter of the firefighters. I would never been elected to the legislature first time around wasn't for stretch Fallon the -- threatened by it honestly that's the truth they were the first -- my science and to cheer at the victory party but. They also educated -- area you have to be pro actively protected. And one of those pro actions could be keeping data so that you can go back to the public into the presence of the governor and to whomever and to say -- You know for every hundred people that apply we only proof tax. So where we are doing our due diligence we are -- we do set the bar kind it's just a thought.

Right I think it's you know it it still was a tremendous. Would legitimize the legitimacy if you will. -- injuries. Not being debilitated. I think it you know and keep keep in mind legal analyst three. What certified. In any particular they. -- boxes adapt to appear not to prove you.

So that the broadest and the fraud is going to get filled that out if you've got to get through abortive three. Professional orthopedic guys you know whatever it's an internal matter respiratory internal -- yet. And and then you have the Herat. One above them. So -- it.

In this particular case I think that that the -- out by outward appearance this is an absolute. Atrocities but when you take a little bit -- The facts. By that I don't royal let her 2000 and I was told to retirement to about. But he could've used Leon -- young kids. He took it up a -- fighting. Is back -- it is therapy respect in I work out all the way yet some it is therapy for it has been there. Was to get into again in -- we're in now you know personal trainer. That work you know and it doesn't drink and smoke is -- right when it anyone that knows that if you have. Mirror image is sigh attic. One of the first.

Prescription you gotta get. We get yourself in shape it and check it actually manage well out of one above me on. I partly most of personal trips we found that we get on in the keeps them up right. Not from you watched a video. Outlook looks like it was the box but the facts it -- time around things like follow Obama is. So at some point they told them all the -- surgery eight epidemic and that meant. Where canal. And when he -- arms is -- he's all right. They told -- does that make it. A decision bowl until I went to do one is Bob Hope to reach that -- so much of outlook looks like Kate he's that this stack outs. Well as let those problems are mental outlook what does it yet it bottom. And there's a lot more on meet the guy even call it looks like -- not really dark it's that the.

It's certainly you know it certainly does that I mean I wasn't on the EA yesterday I siren and I said god if I was on the right no we're a big fancy talk about him -- individual and I slam and I.

All right -- happy and that is saying this story and even as -- visualizing that there are hundreds if not thousands of listeners. -- definitely I I.

8888. Could be you know -- insane yeah absolutely I watched that video I want video yesterday. I was ready to -- yeah. But when it now although it is AG AP that doctors that treat him a little bit more about what --

While and I that there again the globe store them not being critical while the Robinson and they didn't say anything about today he was injured and a fire at the scene of a fire in 2000. In was apparently injured so much that he was advised to retire if he was young enough at the time with family responsibilities as it says says well of those -- can afford it and and it and you keep -- one as as a regular person -- is make in -- type of -- most of us would say gee that's honorable instructors -- the right thing by his family. Very very interesting information -- area as Kelly hey let's and Ed appreciate the call I think survive Joyce does as well just go on Dolly Kyle cops broke Eddie Kelly what -- The process this year we're ready boy you would -- telling you right around what is in the water this morning where H plus point everywhere thanks to thank Eddie House you don't like that that's a college -- appreciate -- calling if for no other reason and again it adds texture and its context. To this situation nothing whatever black and as as he said. While you look at that photograph paean to you look at the video you want to throw the -- yet you literally want to say use thieves and senate debate and now you find out. Not quite what it that way it is not know you don't.

Enemy of -- on amendments to MP. Stabile thing you know and a and a little elaborately and the rest at some moment you. Which stock. Where if you stop. That is absolutely he's saying everyday mister speaker attempts -- it just got these are upon us six went to.

Never why -- given up and Abby you know why -- that I don't have to Steve sire is right around the corner and -- class. I'm going to heal and I -- I you cannot should not with Steve size Steve says going to outline for us what the heck is going on here in front page story in the globe. And they knew and I going to argued because I think you probably think. Having the business community of Massachusetts pay hundreds of millions more than there already paying in taxes fees and health care assessment is a good thing I think it's the dumbest thing I ever read -- Steve's I'll tell us all about I'll -- back client. In a moment on AM 680 WRKO.
