Hank and Stephanie

mm-hmm and get the Lovely sounds of Hank in the morning and good morning girls hello how are you I'm fine how are you I'm surviving okay I you know I hubby ran down with a little bit of Mucinex I'm hoping for the best oh good I apologize if I start you know dripping down my face or hacking up along during this live show and I'm sitting next to her folks he's so lucky today I know you had no idea I'm always lucky to be sure to take a vitamin C or something one of those ward off hell drink orange juice I always find a drinking orange juice help emergency that's what uh yes I'm past the emergency point I tried that I don't know whether it was being out in the rain on Saturday that really exacerbated things or if it's just the way of the season but here we are almost Memorial Day weekend I can't believe it you know right now Mari said to me last week we were talking about something and and I mentioned the week and coming up and don't you know this Memorial Day weekend it's not Memorial Day weekend for crying up what are you talking oh it is it is Memorial Day weekend right how did that happen in the blink of an eye I know it always happens it's a natural time thing but I said it back in April I said it's going to come it's gonna come quickly we're not going to be prepared for it no and before we know what the Summer's gonna be over and I've done nothing this is how it goes yes that's always how it goes this time of year and what is rolling in today I see in the news this just in everybody sharks live in the ocean they've arrived no they don't they don't live in the ocean do they Justice is our PSA we'll do it once a week sharks live in the ocean and when a bunch of them show up that'll be surprised we had our first sighting over the weekend and somebody had um uh what the heck is that uh whale watch and the dolphin Fleet and everybody's watching and all of a sudden you see a 12-foot great white munching on a CL all the kids are screaming you run them to the other side of the deck turning this boat around so that's what made me think of uh how many boats have you owned in your lifetime we've owned many a project boat no I don't have the patience for boats I play golf which of course requires patients as well but uh just to work for boaters just too much well we have acquired everyone else's problems many many times and we had one that just took over our driveway like it was a ship vessel it was ridiculous really where him and his bestie were working on it for months and months yep never never went into the water there was always some problem that we couldn't get around none of them have ever gotten into the boat and uh our buddy Tom love him love him to pieces but he's been talking trash about getting that boat in the water for I want to say like eight years you bought this boat off of Andre Tippett okay oh and has it's a beautiful book I'm going to say it must be it's absolutely beautiful but there's always problems oh okay that must have been my entree chip it sold it yeah right exactly right he knows to just go get another boat because he can right oh yeah right we cannot so I was just curious just to see how many people out there had boats and you lived across the street from a pond I do I do and uh I would like to putt around in it my friends got one of those I they're like blow up zodiac things that's fun to Tool around up here with I have a canoe all right we put the canoe down in the slip I know right which is the season I paid the dues I have a boat on the slip wow well it's a pond everyone let's not get crazy but my Association finally decided to make boat slips oh good or little racks that you can put your kayaks or whatever down there which is nice um so this is our first year that we actually bought one have one and have it down there already before the season started and we paid our association fees so we won't get yelled at when we use our own Beach wow I know we're ahead of the time right now yep Cape Cod problems everyone and you know what I'm gonna use it like three times probably I don't like going in there after Late July because it gets slimy to me oh okay between all the goose and all the other things that hang out there all the goose no thank you no it's not like the ocean where I feel like it just washes itself away right I'm talking about Goose playing playing golf

we're working on that also not yet afraid to drive I get it trust me the summertime on Cape Cod I'm afraid to drive if I could have a driver that would be the one thing that I would splurge on for myself is to have a driver so that I can nap right read be on my phone I want somebody else to drive me around I I'm a chauffeur girl Megan was that way I don't think Megan got her license until she was sorry can jump in and tell me but I was almost 20. 17 17 and I mean Megan waited a good while yeah I was almost 20 but I also had besties that all drove yeah and they had the car they absorbed it I threw gas money sure and Megan did too and I walked and I rode my 10 speed everywhere that was more acceptable right right and she was our one and only so she wanted to go somewhere yeah Dad will you take me okay that's also true yeah you didn't mind being there I didn't mind being the show for a fight you were the chauffeur right good morning I drove her to uh a concert her and her boyfriend they sat in the back seat and finally I said one of you was coming up in the front seat um up to sangas arena in Lowell yeah at the time I thought was a that's so far away so far away and then I started working in Andover every day and that's nothing um to uh sagas Arena to see a Linkin Park and I think it was Lincoln Park Lincoln Park and I forget two other two other bands um I didn't know anything about him yeah and I thought they were actually pretty good they were a little noisy but once I got beyond that yeah you know it was it was it was okay I did that a couple times drove them to concerts yeah and and one of them we were driving home her boyfriend lived down the road uh where the high school is in in Mashpee and it was you know after one o'clock and we we Street we drove down the officer saw the two of them yeah who were not old enough to be driving at that point and he pulls up and I roll down the window and I go yes hysterical oh um uh you might uh you might want to check your tail lights sir was it out no I said oh okay thanks look you know I I gotta get these kids home and you know I'm I'm exhausted is it okay if I go oh yes sir yes talk about profiling but check oh no kidding it's the first thing I thought of I know the last thing they expected to see I mean this was I don't know how many years ago now I mean I had white pair back then with some with some white haired guy that's awesome you know trust me I've driven my fair share to rap shows and Lord knows what else my daughter Mackenzie made me go to uh every single weekend mom we got ten dollar tickets to this band I'm like what even is that I'm in radio mind you right I've never heard of these people I have no idea where we're going to but you know we'd go and Cliff and I would sit there and we're like what is this but it made them happy and you know I enjoy it and she's got a great taste in music now yeah and uh it's it definitely is a range I'll tell you that oh yeah the rap shows oh oh so many I'm trying to think of the name of the band Omari you got to help me um oh Aaron said her oldest is seven months from his permit scared to death one of the cool things that I got to do when I was um at United Way of Rhode Island was I got to go to events and and accept checks because I was the the pr guy that sounds a job for me and and go to events and I accept checks right and and WBRU here we go talking radio again had these were having these concerts across from the across from the Waterfront yes and I forget what the what the cause was it was some kind of natural disaster somewhere and they were giving out you know they collected money and and there was going to be a check and the featured band was My Chemical Romance I was there you were I was you saw you saw me on stage I did and and I never missed a Bru free concert series love them it was so cool yeah but I didn't know who Chemical Romance was yeah I thought they were fabulous and the neat thing was we were backstage and Megan was a huge fan and and the lead singer was like standing like on like you know 10 15 feet away and Mari who you know is like you you know what we'll talk to anyone you know right so Mari says to Mari says to Megan you want to go get your picture with him and Megan's like oh no Mama's like come on that's it making it happen man went over to the guy I mean an emo kind of guy yeah could not have been nice of course to Megan they love their fans unbelievable yeah I forget who the warm-up act yeah but I came on stage and and took the check and everything and then we were eating outside at the um at the mall and kids were going by going hey that's oh that's awesome another place where we cross paths absolutely I know I loved their free concert series I loved Bru it was my station well oh yeah it was my favorite station growing up so I'm it was just no matter what I cried I remember I think I was 40 and I cried the day that they sold to the Christian station I was driving over the Bourne Bridge like I don't know what it is like a piece of my heart I was sad about it it was one of the that was the one station that I'm truly still sad about probably the best college radio station yeah it really it really was great yeah um so what else is going on we're gonna talk about the Celtics they just quit you know and and I don't understand why if you're this far away from a ring you just stop it makes no sense and everybody's trying to blame the coach I'm sorry if you're this far away from a ring it's your fault it's not the coach's fault you say all right screw the coach we don't like them whatever the case may be we're going to win this ring in spite of him if that's the real situation I don't think it is I just think that they've been they've had six years three coaches two of whom are considered at least competent if not good we don't know about the guy they have now and they haven't won anything it's time to blow it up but people are finding again on social media oh it's like Magic Johnson cheated it's so heartbreaking to watch and he's like in my entire career to just watch a team quit yeah because you just quit well the Philadelphia 70 the 76ers did the same thing in the in the previous Series yeah Hardin quit and I don't know you know what these guys make so much money it doesn't make any difference I finally watched the movie Air have you seen it no it's the story of Nike and Michael Jordan and that it's great Ben Affleck and I I just I was like okay Ben Affleck Matt Damon movie but it really was good yeah it was really good Jason Bateman's got a small part in there I was like oh wait a minute too many famous people it's not going to be good right it ended up being really good all right and there was a part in it where it was it went by like one of the rotary phones and it had the phone number and it was a 508 number and I was like that's that's Massachusetts even though like the story was Beaverton Indiana and all the other places I know I got my small little movie nugget in there I don't know why I paid attention to it but I it was just like one of those moments in the middle of a movie that it was a random thing that I was like I know that now it's still in the theaters too right I don't know if no I don't think it's in the theaters I I forget which streaming service I don't know what the hell I'm watching anymore where I'm watching it how I'm watching it HBO Max is now just going to be Max now you're changing the names of the different services I can't keep up I really can't thank God I can talk to my remote and say put on whatever show it is I'm looking for and it will pull up the network in which I do pay for I finally actually looked at all the services because we're trying to figure out ways to make some Cuts around here you cannot you cannot not have any of it it's not good it's not good kids you can't I look at our cable bill all the time and go all right come on there's two of us when when and when Mariana sleeps over there's three of us we've got uh one two three four televisions one's a smart TV the other three are hooked up to the cable there's got to be something I can and I look and it's like no no no I can't do any better than what I got nope and I'm not into the cut to cut the cord stuff oh yeah we did it's a personal problem for us but we definitely did well that's well that's true that's true that's true I I understand why I have a man that can do the cutting of the cord well exactly what we need to replace it right for an eighth of the price so but I'm just always concerned that the channels that we want and the things that we want to watch when I cut the cord I'm not going to be able to find it on right on FUBU or whatever it all is you're not going to spend the time to take it's just not worth the convenience factor for you I understand I'd rather look at the bill and go oh good morning Lauren thank you so much and then and then you get to the point where the size of the bill is like yeah well it's like I'm in the middle of it but I can't I keep falling asleep it is really good uh it is it's not very like I don't know it is a little slow in the middle and good morning Mark Berry hey lady how you doing today how you doing I see that ozempic is on the list of things to talk about once again have you heard about this no it's a diabetes drug yes it's a diabetes drug that became popular and actually has been running out of stock because of shows like real housewives and Tick Tock where people are saying it's a lose weight truck oh so now everybody has been putting themselves on diabetic medication oh so lose weight I don't think that makes sense which was causing problems with the people that don't actually have diabetes and for the people with diabetes that need their drugs but now that they're saying there's more benefit to this they're actually doing a study on it really because it says it curbs other issues like drinking smoking addictive habits can you imagine just taking a drug and all of a sudden you're not extra anymore right wow right if it curbs your habits that could be kind of cool I'm just curious why we have these habits and if a diabetes medication is the one that's taking it away from us there's got to be a dietary component there must be the sugar right sugar makes us crazy right shocker we've all seen kids with a lollipop in their mouth right here we have to calm the kids down give them the box of donuts yeah rtb said yeah let's not worry about the side effects pain in the stomach side abdomen possibly radiating to your back seizure skin rash slurred speech tightness in your chest trouble breathing unusual tiredness weakness vomiting yellow eyes or skin but man don't I look Slim in my bathing suit this season and if any of these things happen stop taking the medication immediately call your doctor yeah right thank you thank you for that I love the one and this is not being disrespectful when they talk about if you have you know if you feel like if you have signs of depression or Suicidal Thoughts stop and call your doctor and I think to myself if you get to that point you're not stopping to call your doctor no it's too late now but they've covered themselves legally because they've said it we told you when you said it in a disclaimer that we said really fast at the end of the sentence right if you're starting to have Suicidal Thoughts call your doctor well you didn't and no no no no no no no no no no oh God stage four cirrhosis of the liver thank you Mark whatever seriously though I thought this was an uplifting show this one well you know what don't take you what is wrong with you right haven't we learned Nancy Reagan's been out there oh I did watch a show the other day on MDMA and whatever can I change something yes Nancy Reagan's no longer with us I know okay I'm aware all right just checking because you said Nancy and I'm thinking whoa but that was that was a message yes yes for forever yeah still like ingrained in our whole weaving of society so my husband likes to put shows on in the middle of the night when he can't sleep yes so then I

I just always have gravitated towards the number 13. I know it's supposedly unlucky maybe that's why I was like oh if it's bad then I want it that's the kid I was okay if I'm not I'm not allowed to have that that's negative I'll make it positive it's me

Lilly's negative Say It Ain't So she has her moments man I have two Taurus Bulls that's a lot yeah that's a lot right you've got one you know yeah and I am one so you know all the two of you together it's a lot it's a lot it's one one's a whole vibe one's Irish one's Italian yes yep they're getting it no say no more right so what's going on over at Uber apparently I want to jump into this just a little bit because they I don't know whether it was a Karen that they they dubbed the Karen campaign oh okay yeah so they suspended their diversity Chief first off what the hell is that position what the hell you need to have a cheap of someone to to treat people like people apparently that's a position in companies I'm horrified that this is where we are in the world yeah but okay they suspend their diversity Chief because she made a campaign don't call me Karen yeah something like that where she was defending white women privileged basically there's so much to unpack in this story right Uber you haven't made any money doing the thing that you do which is just being a taxi service you've had your drivers assaulting people now you hire a diversity chief that is not that is being anti-diverse I you got problems and you still haven't made any money as a company if if she's the diversity Chief I'm sure her heart was in the right place because that's why she was hired but no it's wild hey Don my mother needs you you should talk to her call her up my mom's like maybe I'll hire Don and now if you tell her she she needs help with her two cats and her two dogs John's on the west coast she lives by by Mom okay Mommy's mom is is in Arizona or in San Diego think she's coming to San Diego this weekend okay oh oh who is this never mind we can well we'll unpack it next week yeah next week we'll talk about Mom yeah um because that's a whole lot right there yeah that was one of my um my trivia questions yesterday mom was Norman Bates reference oh boy she needs help two cats and two dogs because I think she's driving she's gonna make an East Coast appearance uh-oh driving from wherever where she is to here well not to here down south down south her baby brother needs her so okay well see she's like maybe I'll take both of them on a road trip my mother gets these grandiose ideas I don't know if anybody else has a person in their life that is like this like it's like their heart is in the right place and they they come up with these grand scheme plans but five minutes into the plan they hate everything about it they're miserable then they make everybody around them miserable because they're miserable that's my mother her heart is in the right place her she's like let's go do this and it's going to be big and fabulous and wonderful and she gets there and she's like I don't like this set it up and that's it you set the wheels in motion for this and I think that that's why I have such stick-to-itiveness right because I always drove me in saying that there would be a plan and then the plan would be changed and then now we're all like in the middle of this crazy other thing and I'm just like I'll do it we'll be here I said I'm gonna do it we'll finish this we'll never do it again right but we're doing it I'll stay here in the rain and play music if you signed up for baseball you're finishing it you're doing the whole season we're paying for it we're showing up you're gonna never have to do it again if you don't want to do it right you signed up for dance class my kids did one soccer thing up and down the field and Lily was like I'm good that was it we never did soccer again right but I made her finish the whole season even with her sitting on the sideline right because I'm like this you signed up fresh we're gonna finish it we're just never gonna do this again check it off congrats to Mariana's soccer team they played on Saturday last game of the season in the pouring rain yeah but they got their first victory yeah so they ended the season on a on a high note the visiting team was from Fall River so I guess that's why they decided to play in the Deluge because you couldn't have the kids from Fall River drive all the way up up yeah up to the cape yeah and then turn around and say oh sorry we're not going to play and so they won their last game and and everybody was was um excited and it was a good way to a good way to end things but um the rest of us who were there watching the game got um a little wet you think yeah they have those like personal pods have you ever seen those yes for like watching your kids games on cold days yeah I was like that would have been good but those little personal thoughts right because your kids getting all wet you're like hey because that's exciting right my son on Sunday he was like oh is there going to be football it's raining I'm like it's football my husband it's not baseball there's there's the game there's a game it's a difference right right and of course I'm thinking they're running and we got on the point right in the field is getting money and I'm thinking oh my God somebody's gonna trip and fall and break their ankle probably oh please God can do we have to keep doing this but they they played it through and they loved it gotta top it out sometimes sometimes injuries happen sometimes that occurs and yes Don if you finish it you started it you finish it

a little more competitive travel soccer okay and and you gotta buy a uniform and you pay a couple hundred bucks and it's the driving for me it's like all right we have a tournament in western Mass uh to clear your weekend entire time for that yeah I was disappointed that this year we didn't go to Nantucket last year we went to Nantucket and we were like oh God I love Nantucket it turned out to be a great time because for the Nantucket parents were fabulous they are there was um a mom who owned a bakery and she came over at some point even before the game started coffee fresh baked muffins wonderful people we had to go away for the boat they bought us pizza I love my Island friends they're really the most warm inviting fabulous people we had a house fire here and I had hosted Nantucket Junior Miss Right which is a begone scholarship program but um we they sent me a basket of gift cards first that's great absolutely everything it's just that Island mentality yep they are just so kind and they help each other right because you have to you're on an island oh yeah because I started to think okay if Daniel how could folks come here this season what are we going to do we're not as nice what are they gonna do for them we're over at Bob's field and we're like not near anything and we're going to go to going to dunks well that isn't like fresh fresh baked muffins from my own category I know you know and fresh coffee that I just ground that's that you know we got cats from the real estate agency right I have a box of joe I love it and a pen yeah I'm surprised we saw um friends of ours other friends of ours from Battleboro on on Saturday night and he was telling us that his son signed him up he's a big coffee guy signed him up for a coffee Club okay it's 18 a pound sounds about right and he brought some of it with him and we had it we had dinner and then we came back went back to where they were staying for coffee and the girls play cards and all of that um it was fabulous yeah I said Kevin you're gonna keep getting this he said 18 a pound hell no you know I'll tell him when he said dad what do you want for Christmas I'm going to say six more months of the coffee thank you yeah see when you when you find a gift that works for somebody and they enjoy it keep on keeping on yep we like that yeah but eight eighteen dollars a pound is a little it's a little much it was great coffee and I love coffee but would you think we might even spend more it was you do what kind of coffee do you get Italian coffee and we're bougie we spent Italian coffee oh yeah I love it obviously spending we spent a lot on our coffee it's like one of our it's our Kryptonite okay but we use it we love it I would rather spend that than anything else um oh God what's the name of it coffee and tea we spend a lot here at the Viva household right what's the name what's the name of the coffee I should remember my goodness um the big Italian coffee Lavazza oh yeah I love it I would drink it all the time when I was in it and here in Falmouth we have an Italian bakery um and Deli and they import it so the guy even told me how to read the QR code to tell if it's really from Italy or not on the back so I'm like all right thank you do they have the blood red orange juice they do yes they do they do it's delicious of it's one of the things that that I found that I remember about going to Italy and when Marion uh Meg went with me once on a when I was on a business trip they went with me it was the blood red orange juice it's so good and there's other Italian places around here that we've been to and seems like when when we go to um purchase it they don't have it they just ran out but this place I know two places the one in Falmouth has it and then there's another little Bakery right out right before you get into Newport like it's right on the right hand side and they also have the blood orange as Lily got it the other day when we were visiting the mansions and I was like oh I forgot how good this is okay you'll have to you'll have to it's going to be a secret you're gonna have to tell me where it is absolutely when we're off the air it's just on it's right on Main Street it's right there no that is a particularly interesting thing because they moved the business from one Plaza to another Plaza and they happen to be next door to a guy that is like not in my backyard so there are signs up there's like a parking lot War they even published it in some of the Towny Pages oh really where you can't park here this spot is this this spot is this you'll be towed I'm like how are you gonna have time to tow my car if I'm running in getting a couple slices of cheese and then running out you're not no but it's just like the purpose it's like what is that the southern War there right it's in it's crazy it's the Eastman's Hardware the Hogs and dogs and then right next door there's a bank over there and then this Italian bakery okay so there's a literal parking space War wow you can see they're all color-coded there are signs in every single one like it's it's become a war on parking and it's so ridiculous and there's plenty of parking for everyone downtown Falmouth yeah in the back there's there's plenty of parking and the rec centers directly across the street yep there is plenty of parking for everyone I do not know why they've decided to take this thing up and fight with each other but it's why it's wild because you know what else to do I I don't know somebody pissed somebody off somewhere yep and it's just become a parking lot war and it makes me laugh every time I pull in there I'm like these people somebody must be a tourist people right you know he couldn't have brought over some Italian baked goods and been like let's make this good right let's make it right right come on we get some sweets bring over Italian which reminds me of another sorry another story one word for the Italians uh sales pizza sales Pizza originally in Lawrence he built this restaurant really nice restaurant but it encroached on some of the land next to the canals in Lawrence that my company owned so we were going to have a meeting with Sal and our our president Tony volt okay and Sal comes oh Tony and Sal comes to the meeting and he brings Pizza and I'm thinking to myself Sal I know your pizza is good but what are you thinking that's weird you're not going to impress Tony Vogue with your pizza yeah he's he's had better he can probably he can probably you know that food it was really awkward yeah it's like rolling up with Don Kanata gourmet coffee shop it's to see you just do it right and I know Tony looked at me like what is this guy doing I'm like I don't know John when I opened up his live feed today he said it was me saying Hogs and dogs he didn't know where the conversation had come from or where it was going welcome and that's quahogs by the way yeah tis the season I'm very much looking forward to doing a little
