" And now it's time forma -- cars show I feel sorry for him denies that he does pull out he should not be at the home in Chappaqua. Point there's a rough bluff running and playing someplace that's just a bootable -- William. Everybody would it -- Moroccans and Obama."

" You don't believe that is Ellen yeah why -- you -- know right now there there is nothing to base that on. As far as -- just scurrilous look I have been the target of so many ridiculous rumors -- I have a great deal of sympathy for anybody who gets smeared with the kind of rumors that go on all the time."

" We want to do is the most expensive car on how -- our little orange chop. I do know the people Florida already voted as you know wolf I think you know their vote should count as it did candidates and campaign. No I don't I don't well sort of you know I'll vote without candidates campaigning -- really a terrible. Well I'm not so sure I'm a little busy right now I've I haven't had time to sleep now how Lawrence --"

" That for the name of a good do what punk rock band but garage band hole in the wall with the lead singer spent a lead guitar. Mr. -- Howard -- WRKO radio network. 1877469432 -- and enlisting in the break I think to myself. How -- Jerry Williams be reacting if he was hearing this above. Colon walls."

" So it's -- and hate -- now and I kinda have a feeling you know -- he would be so just doesn't pass the sniff test I don't know there it is. He he'd go back to reduce the manager was. We we coming for a minute -- to -- this with. -- is that anything light in that he would say that word for excrement away for a -- assets it. You're running ads every break about its -- all. Okay anyway Tiger Woods a perfectly good -- and her. That's ranked no longer will anybody -- saints tackle -- of thinking of that I myself I don't call myself cannot spot that's at least actually Democrats okay. Two great -- don't know he looks kind of pasty. Okay."

" We're worth I -- with a two authors of the new book about Jerry Williams you know Jerry Williams as I said in by -- he invented me at least -- my via radio persona this boom since I was little kid one of the things -- was no it never play. Play with John now checker or Ted Williams. But you know what I had a chance to sit next -- wore a suit to Jerry Williams it was like it was like the -- that's what it was like being with one of the all time greats. And he was just the huge is great and so my left is -- And on my right as a Steve Ellman of the title of their book is burning up the year Jerry Williams talk radio. And life in between and it's I've I've read for much of it but it's so integrated looks like it's a great -- thank you. And it's I'm sure it's going to do very well to you can order it off our website warning -- for -- for trivia question no -- to -- and that's Steve going to handle -- the that your Williams trivia questions we'll do our best. First -- thanks for thanks for trying to interview me -- I didn't want to that are being interviewed I just you guy that you understand insurance Pakistan a thought I was going to be able to was to mix up in the -- to cook thing you know he said she said in -- economist and also your on the record I mean you know you wrote many many columns about -- you talked about who wasn't like anything was hidden away yeah. Yes -- you know again he was he was the best and I've often thought -- this what would what would it be like if Jerry come along today I mean he would he would be making slow -- ago. I mean he would just be. He was how he was Howard Stern you only thing is he didn't just have to rely on you know the old sort of the one trip without Forsberg of you know. Use -- the the bad words in the lesbian strippers etcetera etcetera but he might have done. It's absolutely he -- but only -- that would just been one one arrow in the -- right it would have been everything."

" He covered so many base is great my knowledge just radiator viewer. Great handling of calls them and just the ability to create great characters on the air I mean he could to a whole thing. By himself creating different voices and different images in the mind of the reader. And in terms of timing of rethink about when he was on the and technology was like he missed by that much. Just relative to having the opportunity for syndication relevant at the opportunity to have this out -- many many radio stations."

" Right now and also to to just have the the Internet to enable him to get all the sound I mean that the -- we used after -- just to get east east silly news story from the bad for the -- his times you have to call the city. -- as the -- I know -- council but you know yeah its its trajectory and -- William -- you know conveyed to please please -- now -- you just -- you got it before you -- that be in your basement before the -- the the driveway that's -- and and myself at different times horrible the people behind the -- the same -- spectators its parent and as the I've seen in the by the way -- like to get something cleared cleared up here just for the -- CNB there was the employee air right now is not the CNB in the walk and then estimates say that I'm going to ask you how did. You're seeing Andy give her nickname and I didn't know whether or not that was no no that was a that was of BB thing -- these -- did -- here and I charged he was in charge of nicknames okay. And he had a wicked sense of humor. I -- but -- because it carries producer at the times thinks somewhere gadget on the back of BP's mindless seen this could be interest and -- Gadget there was a spiritual connection well let's what does what father Coughlin so I'm."

" Yeah that's nothing will happen."

" Which is a pretty funny name I must say but I had only he I don't think you have all of us fax quite straight to us about Jerious. The you know one time it was held for wrote this that says he said these guys are really good because they know -- code words from the fifties. And and Jerry was offended by that I took it as a compliment I -- I was five years old in the fifties -- And -- I'm getting that ball across the plate I like that jury was used that Steve Jerry old used to complain about being called an entertainer. I never understood that either what's the problem with being an entertainer. -- doctor I think the people the globe hate you because number one. They're not entertaining. And number two that means that nobody's written columns number three that means nobody's ever heard of them so that's why you don't shall understand the usual except Libya that are right but he -- entertaining meant it was on lower level I think that the the closest he would get to that was except the term performer. He would -- he felt that he was a great performer but as an entertainer you sort pandering to be on."

" But part of -- genius I think though that the jury was to be able to sit there day after day but he was beating on seat -- I was -- doesn't work that. Every day he -- they're trying to work this issue politically. But he somehow have to entertain -- perform right to to make it interesting can't. I can imagine seeing a for a year and talking about the same topic the same subject. And being able to and a team like yeah. Hard to do."

" If you knew it was and that he didn't you know but he did take breaks you know he would have you know that the occasional MusicBrainz or something like that are -- pat Cooper come true there are about Benny Goodman didn't interview at any given that."

" The day after he did the interview Benny Goodman passed away. So he hit a little it's pixel steers -- entertainers and or older folks that he was going to interview because he interviewed -- and he died Wednesday so."

" We're part of -- colts and Steve over the the authors of the new book burning up the air Jerry Williams talk radio in the life in between it's in the bookstores everywhere. Now now Steve you with a producer when the the famous Vietnam -- called yes I was the producer in 197273 which dates me I guess is is anyway it's thought -- was -- wasn't -- did you have any did you have any doubt about that well I I'll tell you the what we do in the book is simply talk about the issues -- fact that Jim Braude. Said it was dominant Pizarro. Was not a city wasn't me. And we tell the story just as is this and say listen we talked to Jerry Jerry always maintained he never knew what ones I believe that kind of -- is. It really. He's not germane to who -- was that is that panel on the air -- read the call came in when I was there. This is so and so from East Boston I didn't know who was Jerry didn't know who was the only guy. Delivered some very powerful stuff on the air right and -- used it."

" Yeah I remember the next night list I didn't listen that might -- the next I was I was a senior UNC. And I you know -- months CBS you know a McGovern played a tape today he got from Boston talk show host and then. Well I didn't I didn't have to think too long to figure out who the Boston -- and I was proud I was like yeah almost. How like just isn't just as a listener I was part of that community that it that produced this and."

" Sounds believable. You know people people don't understand what that does -- money. Indeed if you can only twelve which didn't have a Republican moment. And arrogant and comet called the baby -- 5000 pound bomb dropped on it you know more -- taken prisoner. Because that I know Britain. Yeah nor can kill vehicle. Because you can put the people together. But sympathetic this country a couple of -- spend extra special. Americans are doing and Ecuador Bolivia if we will but they didn't look at and I -- right. Because it's going to an everyday 24 -- that they can rationalize it do you think that's right. I'm going to come back TC won't. They don't Stanley. Do you understand what you did. Do you understand what would happen if we got -- prom -- when you lived there. And build out if you would be kind to him or -- want to send him back."

" And it and that and that that that they want American boys to do. And that we've been -- and and it's not right it's not right under any certain."

" You -- you listen to that today in you can tell you save yourself well that's obviously prepared its obviously written at the moment that it came out over the air. Even though that was clear that this kind of prepared that you felt like this -- Baring his soul he had to sort of write it down -- prepare to do it. It's only later you don't know about Dominic subsequent career a well well it was only later and this into this famous call it was only later that we got a call very very similar to this one during the Watergate Europe. And during the research of phase of the book Alan -- uncovered this things that. -- the sounds like the Vietnam veteran."

" Now folks want to compare them they actually candid and go to Jerry Williams out court -- website center for that purpose lot of audio from all parts of Jerry's career and that call. Once Steve just reference can be contrast to today Vietnam called to -- if you here's the same voice where the same vocal patterns is that the same person."

" We don't know the answer. And -- though the nicest this Dominic became the head of a hotel workers union and they got me when we got. Well at the end of the Massachusetts -- regulatory would you be an interesting fact that we turned up in the research which is I went back to my notes I had kept these notes via on shows from BZ for years I didn't look at them. When this whole issue surfaced. I went back to the militants that we did -- show. That purportedly was with Vietnam veterans a look at the guest list and there is Dominic bizarre Grozny so -- and a time although we wasn't it was he was mountain. He was a Vietnam a lot of that around Dan rather -- that long before the Texas air National Guard that we don't we have a producer and seventy unknown out there -- okay. Could I remember one time -- one summer at this summer seventy that was Joe you know Joe the movie in the Kent State know that. All he talked about was some guy called up and so I'm from a few normal World War II that we're gonna go over fight in Vietnam. And and it Jerry said -- that's great -- of we're gonna start the hard hat brigade. It's a jury kept all on that some along Jerry kept saying -- and west there. Hard hat brigade a monologue and he just kept given the guy all sort pickles and everything like that so when I started being on the show. I want to to Jerry Lewis who really remember he said it in with the McVeigh one -- the hard hat brigade. And it. Total boy I -- go right there are no idea what I was talking about. You know he worked series like that he was in some ways it was his experience with old time radio we've been. The notion that you had to carry something on from ninety tonight tonight to keep people coming back to sea hunt cherry was going to tweak it always going to move it what he was gonna do with it. You're gonna show us that we don't have any the early stuff from -- today could with James Michael -- Now out of not a sound -- over the media -- that's so from the old in the next days. But I told general the story about the fight he got into with malls where they went -- worthy died publisher I couldn't believe -- that regularly that the next day I looked in the paper and that the first thing at the girl in the globe IC. -- worthy died he was a resident of Winchester opposite. Nobody remembers -- Any -- Williams I like write a column about -- actually want to -- the best headline was the headline and -- in the Boston -- that day after -- got to fight because he whistles when it was in the travel we'll -- the evening paper so that your idea animals running as a stamp -- listening -- and -- was his dealer he ran its interests and antiques and collectibles of various -- as -- leeks Williams there's something like yeah and in its public and -- public. And Jerry -- that and we -- and in fact in the -- we wish we could give credit to the writer but the -- was anonymous over the -- violent video oh -- 18774694322 it's a great book and we're back a lot of memories for you right you guys -- long time on this -- we will a long time as a -- affected we didn't know how much work it was going to be when it came -- that wade Allen. You've collected huge amount of material from -- barn every -- go over of his -- journal pretty -- you know. And then when we came time to -- knowledge -- it's almost a year the chronology eyes and organize all the material. And every little piece of information had little bit of biographical Jews we could squeeze. And gradually picture emerged. Will we got a few books to give away so if you want to if you want to do a trivia question just callous and otherwise would distort they can some calls here. 18774694322 bought your next with Howie -- Steve Ellman and -- go ahead Bob."

" Undercut caught remember I'm Joe -- about as accurate because we put a basement housing all of it. Albemarle radioed that it the -- what I don't of course always great."

" And McArthur and maybe it's basically that documentaries -- an interesting story grease on the there was nobody. Who called -- first in 1957 but down I think we giveaways he could actually that's a good trivia question. -- is it -- get that obviously -- give Bob the different trip Bob you want to do a trivia question. He'll sit while since since some during that era mean you know the answer this question juries do he show in Debian yet in the studio we you know we're there's an audience. People would go up in now but Fenway Park actually and watch him perform he -- boxer dog that would sit by his knee every so often. What was and -- Jerry's dog."

" Will keep one in in reserve thanks for the call Bob 18774694322 frank you're next with Howie Carr. She Steve Ellman and Allen pulls the authors of burning up the or go ahead frank."

" It is my compliment -- could come to mind another -- I would Jerry Lewis a little while. During when it's brought him to England."

" Of course one of the famous calls of all time Polonia."

" In medical medical. -- laughing whenever I there were employed throughout every but it was growing up in welcome composed because Melo will know. But -- but that of course you have brought couldn't get through those -- very. Unprovable."

" You know those good listening it at that point in time we'd just it's funny he started the sex survey in Philadelphia was the first year that I worked with him. And cosmopolitan magazine. Put out this laundry list of questions should pardon the expression of Washington. And Jeff Helen Gurley Brown was I guess she did an hour with this on the air and that was the kick off to the first. Sex survey and he read the questions straight out of cosmopolitan magazine and women all over Philadelphia were calling -- And then man would -- say why are you talking to us. And Jerry said because men lie. And he'd never do the halls with men only women. In the with a wash machine maybe it is kind of funny because in the studio the way it's set up there's at that piece of glass through which a producer will look at talent and there'd be screen in the studio. That the talent could look at and the producer could -- into when amount to a TV screen words would not on TV screen. And Jerry would be talking to whoever the caller was when she started be coming to the washing machine lady. And a much better to do so I was -- little jokes -- Monica you know and asked her why she's so -- door. Italy's fifty times it is time to turn -- embryonic that is the and down he would take them any sort of run with them and then all of a sudden he started to do that and then -- start laughing. And it got to -- where it was the last afternoon sex survey what was going on the day of the last afternoons sex or that's a good question I don't know the answer that that's its request of weightlessness."

" Either in the gonna get them I don't know I -- I would just like a client like good. You ready to go I'm doing okay you're ages 44. We've worn and Marion single and how long point when people I'm so -- nineteen right. Yeah time of Mohawk and -- that's good -- I picked up by what's happening here took 25 isn't suburban or city. And I seen and -- York education. I just type of high school and occupation. Admit it and getting it right and you have been there -- 125000 more in your family if you. I'm but I'm saying 125000 dollars per inning powering a famine and how old were you when you have first Netflix an Mary thank. That was that I -- I see how was your reaction the first time thrilling pleasant no reaction disagreeable or upsetting."

" Well -- payment as an -- shelled peanuts that night you know you know. He kept an hour so it wasn't until the next day and to me it was. -- okay."

" I think once a year your husband do another -- assault -- exactly have there been any other men that -- one man. One wife."

" I know but after listen to a furious calls I don't believe that maybe this happened I don't make."

" Well it's just that your living in a different era and a different today and they different backgrounds -- into my product well that's not bad that's okay. I don't know what you were envious and but sometimes I think isn't what it was like I do have these situations in my mind cure. How often you make love now I think that the week is it's quiet is that can't because it. One my parents if they knew anything government television. Well I could kind of radio fat and everything else but why is it noisy. You know what I mean isn't testing everything. Probably listening as well I don't know they you this morning didn't use the money that you -- One make our shopping -- in the morning and I am talking on I do. About I moved form below and and the Atlanta -- capital C span I don't mean that's that captain Bernard let me. I -- Because I was thinking goes on they are literally been gone. It did and it doesn't. Which leads me the next question -- are you with speed queen. The coin and I'll see you -- and I'm -- everything in his in the you know my -- don't appear nonchalant blow them up is then no insulation between the floors they know everything that goes on."

" That problem by Yemeni accompaniment -- preliminaries like food drink music you know being romantic dinner you know. Yahoo! it's all over Europe Lewis. But the -- letting me yeah. And funny put. When you do stop dot -- and everything is the I'm really it's it's become -- everything -- that. So that apply to play the conversation -- could conclude that I'm really serious what they want to him do you wish. Until I think what I'm really yeah. It gently it -- enough room."

" Take a break we had a -- to call 218774694322 will be right back with us Steve -- and Allen told the authors of the new biography of Jerry Williams burning up the year Jerry Williams. Talk radio in the life in between -- no regard."

" Yeah -- don't know how does the man. You're getting very nervous but I can't read it and let them. We'll say hello not even get I get nervous -- Is some -- if you were reminiscing don't know what the very good for the current -- ceiling that detectives."

" Yeah."

" Faster the -- 187746 432 to those when the garage area once he saw the -- was going to be drag on the year he did not suffer that fools gladly or for very long and he's gone out for home and that's good. At a at a that's it that's betrayed I learned from driving around when I was a kid listened to a show at -- that's that's were picked like most people in my generation."

" What he would do that every night for a long time because following -- Ginsburg on any acts influence kids on the phone bright and so. Every call would be you know I'd Jerry. No I don't it's occupying."

" I I know the thing is you know on the I don't want to put down people work nighttime radio and you know this is afternoon drives -- but -- you know in those days after it goes these nighttime radio was a big. Big deal. You know people or listen now what's just again I don't mean to put anybody down but it's kind of throw away Melissa at the changing nature of the business things have moved to where the people are right."

" When they used to realized that down at that point in time there were five radio stations in Bosnia and so I didn't count really bright and there was no late night TV so. There's one guy wouldn't talk show 10 o'clock at night who at one point time commanded 75% of the people that radios -- humanity and 75 share it."

" Made no sense -- even have your radio station on when you're competing with Terry that its ya he he he was just. You know a unique character there's no question about and that the only two -- that he was he was really at the top of his game when he was 67 years old -- that's -- that's an amazing thing though."

" But one -- one of the fascinating things about his life is that he was it is at the top of his game so many different times he reinvented himself he invented himself for WBX. Reinvented himself and Chicago invent himself again when he came back to Boston he invented himself again when he returned to WRKO after a five year hiatus which was really a midlife crisis. He did it all over and over and over again amazing guy. It was going to six days a week to go along parallel time well you know we did it computation. Jerry was on the air some 40000 hours he did 40000 hours of talk radio in his lifetime. It today it's the number that the sort of boggles the mind. It's and would you say that rush would have to brush would have to go to he was 86 -- well into his eighties rush we'll have to go just to match the amount of time the jury did. In Boston."

" 1877469432 to -- sound so annoyed honestly get out of the business. Burning up the heirs of title of -- you -- world from our website the -- Williams talk radio on the life in between it's written by Steve -- in the studio here. What takes more calls if you want to trivia question you can when the book these RTZ trivia questions but they're they're that's a good book so it's worth it Fred your next with how we car Steve -- al cults go ahead Fred."

" He -- have added it would Moe Howard one -- before emote guys. Or did he speak authorities yet and and it it would balance I think at most the last one around. In Egypt that Moe Howard did a lot of artwork and probably would have been realized that in Jordan and it's very went into it. And having any -- is -- brought it over that was low powered. And -- and Jerry went into pretty deep but about it was that aren't she was -- about three hours that -- and all the speed of the what happened movement -- sure of what happened."

" I think the three stooges were basically carrying Columbia pictures for all those years."

" That's -- had two wheelers and -- public that's only you know. And and the other thing where you just let a little bit there what he did it get a couple of pointers and eroded its site that there I'm not doing it very well let somebody else north."

" I don't get out of the business. Or -- out there there was one out there that there was there was one earlier today that was passed on the -- and the two I would like -- of their out there right there okay -- it -- looked up ago. The full moon right right it's like thanks for the -- are being treated -- yeah you're. Thanks for the call for a billiard -- with -- car in the authors of burning up the year Jerry Williams talk radio on the life and between go ahead bill."

" You know depending I was going to ask you guys won as well look at -- based on his comings and goings being fifty years old I missed all of that in the I went from listening to Britain's Clearwater revival. Two sports talk radio don't -- fact that -- make enough money to be concerned about things about how we got."

" Thank you but don't write but he found the right guy -- that of all the talk hosts that are out there doing with the do. Two day how we use the closest to the spirited Jerry and he he's he's the -- I."

" Have to cut it affects survey it would blow but book again. I would I would work."

" Thanks so I don't. I'm not sure it worked out yet most sex survey kinda guy and I'm allowed to do all the idea Jerry Jerry agencies. Here for western mass like in particular your voice as it you're the only person who's there rippled that you could pick up western -- my -- and released to the museum he's got to live somewhere. Go -- audio used to say that made a difference Somerville I pity you are going to make a -- and I'll just say. I -- yeah. 18 -- thanks for the -- bill -- next with how we car and Steve -- and -- polls go ahead rotted."

" I just produce section -- Holy -- all the with -- earthly law already know."

" You guys really did you see advertised that part that you should go to the more because -- like now don't usually not chair I."

" Hey did you ever have a bit out of one -- what yeah."

" cherry had dinner yeah -- about it this is one of the most interesting things we discovered in the book because of course in the last years he always talked about never had an underhanded dinner. It was his way of serious things sort of this of those self deprecating I never got the credit I deserve. In the early years at WME acts the astonishing success he had in 19571958 they did a dinner as a first anniversary. For the show one year on the air in Boston. The governor was there the mayor was there the president the Senate was there. They had a 150 people for huge given to those people were untrue the FBI was there -- they were -- and the following year in 1958 in the second anniversary dinner which is even bigger they had at the armory. It was huge have a wrestling contest it was a -- can't even."

" you run you do if you want to win a book because you brought it up if you can tell me -- question you win a book ready shot I never had a dinner was with Jerry would say lease deal that for a -- with the comedian whose line that was. I as I read it in the book today -- they had absolutely it's first name is red and yes there yeah very yeah that's right on the book -- you get a book called."

" I talked to sandy 18774694322 let's take a break now in the -- just -- McCall's we come back in the world with the authors of burning up the year Jerry Williams talk radio voice that between them now to our."

" Back in the early days Clinton. Kerry was one of the lone liberal voices around he lived under constant death threats when he would have Malcolm X on the program but he did many times they had them. Security at the station because people will threaten them down they'll embolden. He really was not only a pioneer about a very gutsy guy I remember those -- you do. The battle over the seat belts that actually cost them a fair amount of audience that during that time he waged that battle but. He -- insurance companies have their own game he did so much had accomplished so much in his career. That it's it's hard to isolate on any particular -- that he did there was more important than any other but he was a real pioneer."

" That's gene burns another former that we work -- coast in the midday he would transfer the meridian and I want to approach to go and I'd just say it's afternoon the fact that. And he. Jury jury was they he what I mean did he you can't really. Put the -- any kind of up original cause he just did he did everything. He was that he was in -- renaissance man of a talk radio in order of the stories the gene burns told us which was fastening their gene is very very."

" Complementary to juries work but in the early days when gene came he or arrived in Boston on another signal which we won't mention. Jerry happened to be calling that program director of the general manager of that and it is the team was in the office talking. And he said Jerry well. What's it like working in Boston -- it can be very dangerous you know in jeans off he can't roll with the punches to and then Jerry launched into a long thing about how. He had in fact had a brick stroll through his window WM EX we had his car -- we had people tapping his phone line."

" Charlotte the store didn't make not only 88 as anti civilians had just yet. 18774694322 mistakes more calls for a Allen -- Steve over the the authors of the new book burning up the year Jerry Williams talk radio in the life in between Paul you're next with Alec are. In the office of burning up the year go ahead Paul."

" I Geico I got up with dark truck radio with drug or my dad he was -- into it. And but not the airport the third I used to I enjoyed it out it was a piece Sweeney is Garland and him."

" National -- mania. Absentia the Boston Steve's -- do that again Natalie noted religious -- then that it was that the best I hate to say that was the best thing -- Yeah are we rely I -- bit big body a couple of but why should be -- Wife Catherine was. It's everywhere the evidence and hunting -- because funny."

" The other sort of the outcry when he got back into -- that candidates and yet a round table on TV."

" Yeah in every single candidate in that particular year. Yeah -- I have a question where he was that on TV you guys really put them well he got terrible television is there is a cool medium and -- was hot talent it was animated and and you have movement going along with the -- spoken he spoke with an urgency as the Condo and it's very difficult on television. To get across your question for you ask you real -- Jerry christmas time -- yes. He would do a reading of the poll every year this is an easy one. No name of the poem -- would read christmas by Dylan Thomas hand. For --"

" You're paid much attention when your father turn on the radio station can you with a call you will lose those without an influence that. I don't buy your next with how accurate are the authors of birdie up the year go ahead Bruce."

" Our guys as Sawyer or get in the -- it was great and you are much. It's for you -- that part of what you look to earlier are always it it's late but listen remotely if he's now right herbal listening. It's a -- get out and about rebel voice. Jerry it's telling the dubious when this kid his age old view. It will look at age eight and what it would support and I'm quite close but there and the answer right here at saint. I think jury had a song which used -- like this thing from our department for that hurdle to. But I stand -- ever throw that in order bicycle wreck I was smoke rings site."

" He had he it's funny Jerry early on in his career worked in Bristol Virginia Tennessee. The radio station called NBC -- I'd be doing show called farm -- fun time.
