" That's very happy to be here with with Ellen you know we've we've sort of playing musical chairs the music stopped and -- looked over and their Iowa is that I got lucky she she frantically scrambled to try to stop the music again. But I was grinding hours gripping the chair and Irish also parity and I refuse to leave and so here I am.

And also another equally ridiculous a move by mayor Tom menino.

Well I guess I and that of course at some point during the course of the show we may chase each other on the studio with hatchet since he also try to have me take an --"

" And a Bible rightly -- keep up the weekdays standard there have -- and in the last hour of the -- crippled giant ads and you must know hard Joe because like a lot of people in the city -- at the Harold first I think everybody has were the herald at one point. It you know people aren't journalists that everybody is part -- what do you think is most of them have come and gone on to Tokyo even more successful positions I've I'm still there -- like indoor lawn of the home. I asked all the art. See -- critical giant has and the reason to be here is to talk about well first up a story that the Harold had this morning about eight people terrorizing toward Chester. And pickles in general licensing banning dangerous died. So she knows everything there is about pets and violent and shall be giants the last hours of stay with as the first just I'm not joking it's a pleasure and it feels like a promotion and I mean no disrespect to ten women -- second with me for six months before leaving for greener pastures -- idea Mary Allen burns has sent him the illicit here in the -- at ten women once sent it you don't against the left the masked behind him trying to tie up put. -- we talked about -- it produces an -- attacking everybody a real serious this morning so let's go and I dare you know and it's because you -- an -- the -- to bring a lot of gravitas to the show talent people got very serious is. Well when it -- and I antenna here you know the conversation eventually in the first few minutes devolved into hair -- and I said you know I think we mr."

" IEL looks likely to scoop about a decade I have no I have no problem discussing hair okay you threw down the gauntlet. You threw on the -- I will talk here you know actually about here yeah I I have memories that are. So vivid it is a conflict I can almost picture myself. As a man with hair."

" There is topics they get distracted -- they both have such great hair bright and added that the TV thing and and Ted said to me very seriously Wednesday in TV here is everything."

" So you know important Tom -- radio -- the -- but not yet not yet appeared OK so we'll move on and because you're here -- that you know we answers to questions that those two TV types didn't did not know what has been on that -- and people do call and say -- studies at Boston -- TV its last flight on -- and Mary Ellen won't be here for her 1 O'Clock show. Only because of BC basketball's gonna come on about 140 going to give the number 40 going to -- the -- ambient like calls a course of our discussion at any time we will invite them 6172666868 toll free 18774694322 okay okay so. The you know everyone in Boston howling directed -- 24 years is nothing you know on and when I came into that building in 1983 I had a full. -- I did okay -- I did area and -- have a lasted there the sadistic things I want to ask you one as. What is his biotech counseling can you give me one of those high paying jobs can you give me that -- thousand dollars you know I Antonia I don't know what job is really worth 400000 exactly what you could possibly do for -- you know you know what that the list of jobs that aren't worth the autumn and as. The biotech downtown Lester but you know I mean the biotech -- news you'd only shyness that I judo you know is -- Sino Italian report is -- committee or council used to go very -- as well you know I think and I think that when you call it's either up I have that job. I would try to call state reps and try to roots explain like stem cell research to in the stuff. But Tom Skinner noted it was the opponents say vote for this this okay rate that's so his tax break for on that -- and I ask the question is we knew we you might be the only person -- pat on I think on a Saturday who. What may have Bennett the post of that the post election press gathering where he spoke off the record -- people -- what was the tone that would carry out his that was the end newspaper association the right right the -- in two zips through that so so here's of Hitler saying sort of the records that. That he kind of blasted the report -- an -- Not having gotten that the central themes of his campaign and everybody liked the way a little surprised right 'cause they cited had a pretty fair -- in the -- and he won by an overwhelming margin and I act."

" So we think about it it's a brilliant strategy because -- to strategy basically is to say to the press some you know the people kind of on my side. And and so really doesn't matter what the cynical press -- says any point during the course -- my administration you just don't get it you don't get that you're not clued in the people clued in they understand you don't get it. So as a result you he essentially sort of sets up the press to sort of say -- what you say in -- high you criticized you know what you call me under in the course administration. It's just because you don't get a you'll Bure tied to the old way I'm the new World War I have the people behind him get the mythic really was a defensive. -- up -- offense the fence where you sort of say no matter what you say it doesn't matter because you know because the people support me now."

" Isn't there a danger of that strategy isn't do you stand a chance of alienating the reporters who now feel that you set set if you if you want to say hey where on the other side. Great we'll come matches hackers began unless he and vices or for dinner has united -- to -- and you know frankly like. I like a little chicken marsala I understand he died on I do I like little -- every ally then I like the -- muscle and you know. And it's in its -- muscle he's supposed to be a great -- and there was a great letter to the editor in the glove from -- foudy who was who wanted to last Trout because she said he can't be -- he go to his house eat his food and then and then you know insults are you going to say I don't."

" I'm not expecting invitation is he knows a -- guy you know. Meanwhile he's like in the kitchen and we like rummaging through his dormitories and I finally had to -- barrel -- total Merrill silverware could be missing anything is possible regarding you know army -- an -- jumping on his -- up in his bedroom at the track down enemy. He can't throw the -- got a great airline that are out he can -- it all out humane act average acting and not even on this album I can't get him on the show I don't writing you know that far over the summer had to go to the mat because it was set up. Pre election here we go Ted will scream about how great carrying -- rights my right people in the state doing that. And then I had two you boost morale figured out what your overture assessment of how. He's done so farming is seems as though he is trying to approach to job to different way. He's done some symbolic things you know he he opened up the elevator that was -- disclose will be by the governor. In the past to re looking to re build a row -- ways to return to break on the symbolic barrier. But it's still bugs me he meets with the legislative leaders behind closed doors -- deals are struck no self by the jet."

" The bottom the bottom line assessment is that we can tell the average person doesn't think anything's different yet. They may here we -- the first Lebanese American and defend and -- home homeland security and his team now and that -- only in the country with those you know credentials. And the appointments look great but you don't hear people saying you know either it's too sooner it's not true -- you don't hear people walking around. I don't I don't know if you join your circles as saying while it's a whole new ball game what a breath of fresh air"

" you know even though it is interesting and he is different certainly is an outsider coming into and the state house you know which is some place where basically entrenched politicians hang out -- so that's I guess refreshing incidents it's a new face a -- different had -- national attention historic significance to to Massachusetts but I know that is his favorability numbers in all the polling just before the election. You showed a real sort of we have very fragile base -- so that when the pressures on him when he's under scrutiny over some that would have been the care story. Those numbers drop pretty rapidly so I think he's running a little bit of a risk he tries ceiling at the press it was -- when the scrutiny of the heat's on the public's -- to withdraw from DePaul parish who does -- care."

" The other week willow was one of those things somebody else senate you know a lot of people Saddam who were voting for Kerry -- and going to have to hold my nose and other people said I'm gonna hold my breath right about so wasn't that people were fully committed that they -- like me it was a better way. And now they latency but there's a lot that's a lot of pressure to carry piano and I that five day party -- but -- That story came and people were upset but it kind of went away you know I -- and here I don't know you think of it but I exit unless you show me the money be exact exchange for favors from the corporate sponsors right not that appealing to -- since it was."

" Going to pay for you have frankly -- the for five day inauguration is but he I know he you know he wants to use when you want to be inclusive everybody -- really. Listen to bump that there's already looking beyond the governance he ushers in national office potentially and so. You know whenever he can do to sort of build that momentum from the you know get a running start of this so disappointing -- as you know if if these steps -- town on the the last and -- fright when I wish I -- dog Mitt -- had done about three years ago 617266686818774694322. -- shocker here with Ellen O'Brien Mitt Romney course you know he looks great he's got a lot of money. You he takes the cheese on this office pizza. Real that is little known fact oh wow he does -- carve -- out of -- that yes he takes it tees off the pizza because he believes it's unhealthy personally. I would like he has not a pizza -- like told Eric first and I will take his cheese. I don't I don't pay accused cheese if you it is his discarded Chinese I will take."

" She does too messy abreast as I embarrassed about that. The need is looking guy -- Ahmed -- some of his -- to his favorite draft to see if I theology an affair with female voters outside of the state because you know he's so -- that women get turned they get a little -- and women -- to get a little creeped out. Because he's just I just want to must -- political you know -- Cut him up academy there are those mormons don't have a wild side I don't think I'm being out and I. I don't have anywhere in the secret underwear instantly -- I don't know all the details and I -- he has to -- a -- to to to -- to distance himself from that -- I shouldn't you know you shouldn't have to -- we shouldn't be prejudiced against people far they're related -- right -- so -- a lot of -- you raised by a -- duration sometimes -- you read the stories -- saying you know you start to think this -- now but is this what Kennedy went -- tell you -- and we -- America."

" Resting point because you -- I was actually talking to Canada -- the board recently and I asked him directly you know do you think that religion that Mitt Romney's religion should be raised during the course of the campaign. Particularly given you know the JFK -- having to battle the prejudice against Catholics and and Ted Kennedy said on the record that yes I think it should be an issue and I think that any candidate's religion and whether or not they agree with the policies of their church -- finish is relevant ran of course he's talking about. You know these these this controversy about women and and their role in the Mormon rater rate in and of minorities -- their role in the --"

" He also knows -- not going to pay in won't play well I mean there -- knowledge they have a list of things -- can -- and say look what -- sentiment comes to women and choice women and minorities and it must now it's not going to -- for by you know frankly online album moment as -- assumed it -- I don't know -- Atlantic that's all I know. Except I can't get married and they can marry like six or seven people in some parts in the old field field country of one they want to do that I don't know why Texas and wives and Gannett.
