Cail & Company LIVE with The Friday Fun Bunch
(upbeat music) - Good morning, it is Kale, a company live right here on WKXL, nhchockradio.com. Great to have you with us on this, kind of a dreary Friday morning, but dreary isn't such a bad thing. Oh, you know, it's a nice day to take a nap, if you can. Don't you think that's a good idea, Kitty Ray? - I do. - Do you want me to, is that a sign that I can take a nap? - You can take a nap. - But not now, not now, wait till after the show. - Yes, hey, but you know what, a dreary day after having the heat and everything, I think it's just nice to have a change. - It is. - Not necessarily like dreary, like, all the time. - Right, and that's a, yeah, and that's, that's the beauty of New England. - It is actually. - You know, if you don't like the weather, wait a minute. - Yes. - As Mark Twain once said, or at least he, you know, is supposed to have said that. - Yeah, well. - You know who we had checking in momentarily? - No. - And I don't know if he's still there, but a gentleman you know, Nate Abbott. - Stop. - Was just on, yeah, and just checked in because we're on my Facebook page today. - Yes. - Ken Cales, C-A-I-L.

Tomorrow is his birthday. - That's right. - Tomorrow is his birthday. - Right, yes. - So I want to wish him a very happy birthday. - Eight, 10, 76. - Yep, yeah, those numbers are lucky for me for many reasons. - There you go.

They're out there today, folks. - Whoa, hey, and guess who just walked in? - You said his name enough. - Barry? - You know, I know. - Barry, go nuts. - It's just like speedle juice. - Look at him. Look at Tom Raffio has arrived. - Thank you guys. I would have been here sooner, but the bro shoes truck was in my way. - I was almost late for that reason, too. - I had to change my reserve parking spot today. - Oh my God. Yes. - But I do have the brothers donuts. - Oh my goodness, hold it up to camera 12 over there. - Oh my God. - There it is. - We're on Facebook Live, Ken. - Who needs Kat when we have Ken's still? - Well, don't say that too loud. I'm sorry, Kat. - There you go. We need Kat, but I'm sure Kat, you know what, Kat is getting ready. - I know for her performance. - Yes. - So the night is opening night. - Yes. - Yes, opening night. - Oh, I do not. - You know what, and she's gonna be starring in "Fiddler on the Roof." - Yes. - Yes. - I love that. - You know there's a lot of great songs. It's got-- - Oh, I love "Fiddler on the Roof." - Great score. - I'd love to do it. - Do you think there's any chance we could hear one of them, Andrew? - If I were a rich man. - If I were a rich man. - If I were a rich man. - If I were a rich man. - There you go. - There you go. - Sing along. - Oh, there you go. - If I were a rich man. - If I were a rich man. - If I were a rich man. - I would have to work hard. (laughing) - Why would you have to do this? (laughing) - With snappings. - Hey, hey, hey. - Snapp those fingers. (laughing) ♪ I don't deal, I don't, I don't, man ♪ ♪ I don't build a big tall house ♪ ♪ Where the rooms by the dozen ♪ - I put my turn. ♪ Right in the middle of the ♪ - Andrew's actually sung this on stage. - Andrew has? - Where the hell is he? - Oh my God, Andrew. - Amazing. ♪ There would be one long staircase just going up ♪ - I think Ken wants to go back to his days when he was a dystrophy with reference and stuff. - I do. - Just 45, something to bring my 45s in here. My stacks of wax, the platters that matter. (laughing) - He still has the lines. (laughing) - Too funny. - Wow. - And that is one song that Kat is not gonna be singing, didn't it? - No. She might be like, coming along, but not-- - Yeah. I mean, it's a great song, but it's a great score. You know, matchmaker, matchmaker, make-me. - Sunrise. - Tradition. - Oh, yeah, tradition's my favorite. - Yeah, and tradition. When did you play the lead role? - So I didn't actually play Tevia in the full production. There was a, there was a kind of like a one night of music where it was selections from certain shows. And so I played Tevia just for that one song. - Yeah. - Nice. - It was like good song. - So it's at the Colonial Theater tonight, and that is a beautiful place here, a great place to watch a show in downtown Laconia. There are seats still available, but I will tell you, not many. - No. - Not many. - Now Ken and I, actually, we're talking about that theater yesterday. That, it used to be just like a-- - It was a movie theater for many years, but then closed for decades. - Right, yeah. - And then they've revitalized every, oh, it's been open like three years at least or no. - Yeah. - 'Cause I know we've seen a couple of things. - A little longer than that. - Yeah. - Oh, yeah. - Yeah. - Oh, I love to go in there. - Yeah, we've seen three or four, yeah. - Yeah. - So Cad and the Sound of Music. - And that was a Christmas-- - And then the Christmas carol. - Oh, and your-- - And Tower of Power. They were there. - Tower of Power. - They were there. - Yeah, but the Sound of Music, that she's saying the hills are alive. - Yeah, she actually sang, so we were both in that. - Oh, cool. - She sang, she was the mother, Abbess. - Right. - And sang Climb Every Mountain. - Oh, that's right. - That's right. - That's right. - Yeah. - No, Andrew, what is Kat's role in this? - And she's gold, Abbess. - Oh, that's right. - Yes, okay. - All right, so. - Okay, not to be confused with gold in my ear. - That's no. - All the way departed from our Prime Minister of Israel. - But Kitty and I will be in the audience tonight. - Yes. - Opening night. - Opening night. - In our audience tonight. (laughs) Kitty, Carmen, Benoi. - Yep. - Yep. - And Ken Kale. - Yes. - Same as Radio Broadcast. Hey, before I forget. - Yes. - 'Cause Ellen, as I'm going out the door, I also had to drive her car, 'cause she needed my car today, 'cause she's driving to her mother to a funeral and her car is so messy, which is why you see this box is kind of broken a little bit, because. - It's a broken box. - I couldn't find a spot in the car. I had to squeeze it in. But she wanted to say Kitty was an amazing goal for a Monday at the State Police. - Oh my gosh, she's a little rattle. - All right, let's give her a little round of applause. She said. - She's so sweet to show that. - She goes, "Kitty's really good." (laughing) So she said, "I had to mention them, not have to, but." - Thank you. - And then, of course, you've got the day of race coming up. - Yes. - And them. - And then, last night, you had-- - Oh my god, the Delta Dental Elie. - Yeah, that was awesome. - Despite the rain. - Yeah, it ended up, you know, for runners, a slight drizzle is actually-- - Okay. - Good, yeah. - 'Cause usually that race is really hot. You know, the people, the volunteers and the people cheering, it's a little more difficult. But, it was fine. We had close to 4,000 runners. We're building that back up to pre-pandemic levels. And I got to say a few words with Dr. Gregg Baxter. And Dr., his name is Knuckle from the Elliot. And it was just great. Just great. - We looked at it. We saw some of the highlights on TV. - That's right. Jamie Stachman was in it. - Yeah, so Jamie now works for Easter sales, but he has an arrangement where, you know, on an ad hoc basis, they'll call upon him. - Yeah. - So it's like the perfect position for him. - It's always great to see him back on camera. - And we had to time. It was interesting because the start of the race was originally gonna be 620, but the way the sports cast work had to be 626. - Okay. - So we were like elongating our speeches for shortening them depending on, so the governor was there. - He ran. - He ran, yep. - And Kelly ran and also Mayor Jay was there, but he just, he was just coming back from the National Guard training. So he was in street clothes, but I saw him as well at the American Legion regional playoffs at. - Oh, yeah, yeah. - The historic Gill Stadium. Not being shoes with historic-- - Holmen Stadium. - Holmen Stadium. - Right, right. - But, and I got to throw out a first pitch there. - Oh, you did? Oh, I didn't know that. - The older gentlemen, they tend, the Legion baseball is unbelievable. But you see all the, I mean, all the older gentlemen between like 70 and 90 just follow it as well. - Oh, yeah. - They love it, yeah. - And their teams, they were teams from all over Northern New England, so it was really cool. - Yeah, Sweeney Post is the host, yeah. - No pun intended, which meant they got to play at the Wednesday night, seven o'clock game, 'cause there were games all morning. - Right. - Leading up, but the host gets to play the night game. I left at about the fourth inning, so I'm not sure who won the game, but it was a great, great crowd and a great opportunity for a Delta Dental response or something. - One thing we do know is that Salem, New Hampshire, won the Little League regional. - They be Portland, they be Portland, Maine, and so Salem will be advancing to Williamsport, Pennsylvania. - Oh, that's cool. - It's awesome with the Little League World Series. - Salem always has a good Little League. - Yeah, they do, yeah, they've been there. - They've been there for a couple of times in the last few years, so yeah, they're absolutely. But, you know, baseball at any level is great. - It is. - And wanna say hello to Joe Padriski, one of the great radio guys of all time. - Joe. - In the state of New Hampshire, Hall of Famer Joe. - There he is, Joe Padriski, Joe Bean. Great to see Joe Bean. - All right, we'll have a lot more. We will go into detail over last night's Patriots triumph over the Carolina Panthers at the Gillette Stadium. - I love the last quarterback that came in. We'll talk about that. - Oh, yeah, that's a little tease, that's a radio tease. And we have donuts for all here in WKXL, nhchockradio.com. Good morning, my long lost friend, Bobby Howard, from the Binghamton, New York, Gary. - Wow, okay. - All right, all right, we'll take a break. Kayling Company continues WKXL, nhchockradio.com. Presented by Northeast Delta Dental. We'll be right back. Kayling Company live right here on WKXL, nhchockradio.com. On this Friday, the Friday fun bunch, Kitty Ray, our resident flick chick. Tom Rapio, president and CEO of the Northeast Delta Dental, our esteemed executive producer, Andrew Gibson, is in the house. John Morton says hello, and Bobby Howard, I did many a hockey game with Bobby Howard in Binghamton, New York over the years. So did you take a plane there or did you drive? - Oh, we bust it. We bust it to bring him-- - That's a huge, long drive, right? - You know, it's not that bad. It's like five and a half hours. We had a lot longer in our days in the American hockey league, but yeah, Binghamton, I always enjoy going to Binghamton because of a great department store, Boscuff. - Boscuff. - Boscuff, which no longer exists. - Oh, it does. - It does. - Wow, wow, yeah. - So certain areas, not as many as they had, right, Ken? I mean, they still used to-- - I don't know a lot. Yeah, I mean, there's none in New Orleans, as far as I know. - He took me to one last year. - I did, and not that one, not the one in Binghamton. - No, but yeah, that's why I said there's still some that exist. This is in Pennsylvania, right? - Yes, yeah. The one I went to was in New York, well, you went to one in Pennsylvania, but they're in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey. - Are you sure that wasn't a bad job? I mean, IBM had a location up there for training, and I would go there for a couple of times. I just remember driving incessantly. - Yeah, I know. - About six hours. - Buffalo's a quite a bit longer. Buffalo's like maybe two and a half hours from Binghamton, something like that. And Bobby tells us that there are about five or six Boscuff's left. - Okay, good. - Yeah, so we have it all. And I hope the one in downtown Binghamton is still there. I haven't been to Binghamton in a while. And so there you go. - Yeah. - Maybe we'll get another minor league team and put you on the road again, Ken. - Well, I think he doesn't even excuse. He'll just go. (laughing) - Because you saw that the snooorina, they need to $7 million of improved capital improvements. Did you see that in the papers? - I did not. Tell me about it. - Just, Tim Becker was just saying, it just needs some refurbishing, so they have to get it from the city, so. - Is that refurbishment just in case they get another hockey team? - No, I think just in general. - In general, yeah. - Well, that's cool. - Yeah, well, I always thought it was in pretty good shape. I mean, I think they've maintained it well, but obviously it does age. It's been around since 2001, so that's like 25 years, almost. - Songs that keep having the monster trucks. - Yeah. - And then I'm good. - I have yet to go and see that. I have not seen the monster trucks. - And the Cirque, this away was there. - Yes, that's right. - Some, not all, but a few of our, we had a great team. We took a bus down from Concord, and then, and then I, and the way back, I think, well, missing, you know, so-and-so, and they said, no, she went over to the Cirque Soleil, so you could do both if you didn't mind being wet in the suite. - Yeah, oh my gosh. Wow. - So, hey. - So it's still a Binghamton bus. - It is, okay. - Bobby, as sure as it's that, we want to welcome Lynn to the program, and Gary, Gary, who was in Foxborough last night. - Gary was? - Yes, yes, yep. - I love the last quarterback, I'm telling you. - Joe Milton III, who played college ball at the Michigan, but not much. And then, at Tennessee, quite a bit. And boy, he is electrifying, isn't he? He is a- - He had run. - Oh my God. - Yeah, yep. - I mean, they've got to keep him on the squad. Hey, look, you know what? Picking the quarterback in the sixth round worked out pretty well once for the Patriots. - I agree. (laughing) - Tom Brady. - I swear to God, if I were the, you know, this is not hindsight, 'cause I said it at the time, but if I were the Patriots, obviously, the first two quarterbacks, you know, are really good in those starters. I'm not sure about Drake May, so I would've went with the receiver from Ohio State. - Yep. - And then, and then used Joe Milton, I mean, 'cause he can run, he can pass. - Oh man, can he run? I don't like, six, six, two, sixty or something. - He's built like a linebacker, but-- - He didn't do a flip though, did he? - He didn't do a flip. - He's been doing some flips in training camp, but I guess he thought maybe that wasn't appropriate last night, but-- - You know, I wouldn't, when I-- - But I better be score to touch Nani, would have. - But watching him run, I guess I'm not used to seeing the Patriots-- - Quarterback drunk. - Correct. All I could think of is don't get hurt, don't get hurt, because that, obviously, you're out there, you put yourself up there, that's sometimes, that's what happens, so no flipping for him. - Yeah. - 'Cause he could fall and hurt himself, right? I mean, it's like, if he's a good quarterback, come on, really. - So obviously, they have to keep Drake May, right? - I guess they do. - And then Jacoby was sad, obviously, probably start. - Yeah, for a while, yeah. - I would take Milton-- - I would start him, opening day in Cincinnati. That's what I-- - Oh, Milton, I'm to Cincinnati. - What do they get to lose? - I agree. - I mean, they're gonna be like three and 15 anyway, three and 14, whatever, that's 17-- - Are you talking about for the season? - Yeah. - Yeah. - I bet they are, we need to talk at some point, guys. 'Cause the season starts in the 5th of September. - Maybe they would be better with Joe Milton quarterback. - Hey, wait, we have to talk about our football picks. - Oh, football picks. - That's right. - Oh, we're starting that as well. - I'm starting to do that. - That's coming up with you. - Of course. - September 5th is the start of the season. - Oh my God, less than a month away now. - Yeah. - I can't wait to get my-- - We need to-- - I live for 10s checks he gives to me like every Wednesday. - Is it, yeah? - They haven't started yet, though. - No, that's what I'm saying. Are we going to do that? - Oh, we're gonna do it. - Oh, we're gonna do it. - Do we want to-- - We'll do it. - Andrew wants to do it, we do football picks, Andrew. - Yeah, I don't know. - And we certainly would welcome you. - I think it's a three of us, so do we want, I don't know, so let's talk, we have to start it anyway. - I'm a guaranteed loss. (laughing) - Well, we once had a radio partner-- - I'll play, but it won't be good. - Well, not necessarily, Andrew. We once had a radio partner that would base it based on either the weather or the uniform color, and then she did probably as good as the rest of us. - Correct. - No, it is, it's, yeah. - Just wanted to mention we have Chris watching, he is spying for the opposition. Chris is watching, I won't mention his last name, but he's a Yankee fan. And we have a state senator watching as well. - And who might that be? - Howard Pearl. - Howard. - Senator Pearl is out there. - Howard the Pearl, oh, speaking of the Pearl, the Pearl was the one that was-- (laughing) - Howard needs to say hi to his lovely wife too. - She would base it on whatever, but her numbers were okay. - Yeah. - Yeah, I mean, she based it on geography. - Right, like she never would go for Miami because in the South, you're not supposed to play football or something like that. Don't tell Georgia Tech and all the Miami Dolphins saying that for my listening friends who like Miami Dolphins. - One of our other Facebook viewers, Jim Hendricks, indicated that the over-under for the Patriots' number of wins is 4.5 for Vegas. I think, I think their defense is good. - And I think it'll get better. - Yeah, and Judon signs. - And let's hope. - And there are enough bad teams in football where I think they'll actually win between five and seven, I think. - Well, I want to make a correction. I mean, Judon is signed for one more year. It's six and a half million dollars, but there are much worse linebackers than the NFL were making three times as much as Judon and he's a terrific player. - I agree, they should make him happy and give him a couple more years and more money and off we go. 'Cause your defense is good. - Yeah, and I think it'll get better because Mr. Mayo was a pretty darn good defender. And if he can relate that and teach that to some of his players, then that would be great. And it's a whole lot different. You can tell the atmosphere on the sidelines is a whole lot different now. In fact, the game was on TV last night. It was on WMUR. And now, I guess they mentioned on the broadcast, maybe you didn't see this part of it, Tom, because you're probably still out, but the rules have changed now. Players can talk to the television crew during the game where in the past they could not, under the previous head coach. - Wow. - They had to point to say that a couple times. - Yeah, they did make a point to say. - No, what was the, 'cause I was listening on the way home from the race, I was listening to it in radio. We had the normal guy, Bob Sosie. But on TV, it would look a combination of announcers. - They had the McCordy twins. Scott Zolak and Steve Burton was on the sidelines. - So who called the game? - Well, nobody, it was like watching a Manning cast. They were talking about the game. They didn't really do a play-by-play. - Okay. - And I think more broadcasts are going, more television broadcasts are going to go that way, because you can see it. And I thought it was great. I thought they did a great job with it, really. And Steve Burton was on the sidelines. They, Thursday was Steve Burton Day in Boston. - Not too confused with Ron Burton. - Right, his dad. - His dad, who I knew from when I worked at John Hancock in Boston a million years ago, do you remember the one game long time ago? The New York Jets game that they played with no announcers? - Oh, yes, I do. That was probably a bit much, but I liked last night. I think that was Miami and the Jets, wasn't it? I'm not sure, but I just remember there was literally no announcers. - We have so many people out there today. Gavin is out there. - Gavin McCloud? - Uh-uh. - The load, boom. - And I will say one of the great hockey broadcasters that I have ever run across. - That's Ken Kimberg is out there. - Oh, wow. - Who used to be the voice of the Binghamton hockey team. - Kick save in a beauty. - Yeah, and has done some games in Hershey and I think he's done some NHL games as well. So, Radia's out there. Good to see you and Gavin and Howard and Gary and Chris and all the gang that have checked in this morning. - What a fun bunch. - What an audience. What an audience we have. - Plus a 3.2 million people that listen to us. - I do, yeah. - That's right, normal radio. - Right, we gotta pay some bills and take a break. - All right, we do. - Well, and we will be right back. - John, we'll bring us up to date on what's happening at Northeast Delta Dental because this program is presented by Northeast Delta Dental and we'll be right back. - We have returned Kale & Company live here on WKSL and hchockoradio.com. And we are on my Facebook page today. Ken Kale is the A-I-L. It's great to see some friends. Some I haven't seen in years. Others I saw just the other night like our good friend, John Leahy, who brought down the house at the Bank of New Hampshire stage. - I heard that. - Had a chance to do four songs. He was the final act on Wednesday night. - They saved the best of the last. - Did a terrific job. Yes, they did. He ended with Brown-eyed girl. - Oh, gosh, I love that. I think that's my favorite. - I gotta get on with him, karaoke or Scott Spratley. And I couldn't do Scott had an event last night too, but of course I was running and whatever, so I couldn't do that correctly. - And Road Warrior Bob is with us. Who used to when I was at another station, or maybe another couple of stations. Bob used to call in and alert us to the traffic in the area. So good to see Road Warrior Bob. Boy, I'd say they're coming out of the woodwork today. - I think you just have to go to your own Facebook page. - Normally we have like three or four. Now we have thousands. - They're coming out of the woodwork. It's great. Great to see a lot of old friends. And Tom Raffio had the race last night we talked about in downtown Manchester with over 4,000 people. And we attended the Scott Spratley band concert at 79 Clinton Street last night, a church that is shared by two denominations, Methodist Methodist and congregational. And it was terrific. They had to be moved indoors because of the inclement weather. But it didn't matter. They were fabulous as always. - Yeah, Scott's terrific. And I know you had him on the show. I listened to it. - He told me that you called him prior to the show, gave him a little pep talk. - Absolutely. 'Cause you know, he's not that experienced. - No, he's got a new in the business. - I love listening to his political analysis on other stations. - Yes, yes. - And this one, the end is here the other day. - All right, so I gotta give him my public service 'cause I know Kitty's chomping at the gym. - The following is a public service announcement from Tom Raffio. - All right, so we didn't have that race last night which raised well over $23,000 for the Salinsky Center. So essentially, the way I described it before the race, it's a combination of Elliot and Delta, Dental. So you have population health, oral health, and then you're raising money for the Salinsky Center, cancer care, so that was great. And get this one. We had someone that did a sub 15. - Wow. - Wow. - Just amazing. And then there were others that did like 15. And it's just an amazing. And then there were some slow pokes like-- - I would have done some 59s. - The 49s. - So maybe, on a good night. - Oh my God. - So, so that was a Delta and Elliot. And then the day before was the Legion's baseball game. So if you're into baseball, just get down to a historic Gill Stadium. They're playing all the way through Sunday. I know the weather made impact things. And the winner goes on to the Legion's World Series in North Carolina. - Yeah, now John Bligh was in here recently and was talking about that. It's a great event, folks. And Sweeney's hosted in the past. They do an outstanding job with that. And it is very good baseball. Fishercats who rained out last night at Delta Dental Stadium. Now play a single game tonight. And a double header tomorrow, starting at 405. - Wow. - I love double headers. - You know, it's interesting. You mentioned the Fishercats in connection with Gill Stadium because of course, Fishercats started there before Delta Dental Stadium. - Right. - You know, it was ready. They called it a different name than, but anyway. But part of the deal was that they had to put in, you know, the artificial turf at Gill Stadium. That is beautiful. - It is. - It still is. - Yeah, it really is. They've taken good care of that over the years. And, you know, it's something that, you know, that lasts, it's supposed to last for about 25 years, I think. - Yeah, it's really, really, really good. - And the lighting was improved too for, you know, professional baseball. And now everybody benefits from it. Because of, well, the Drew, Drew, Drew, Drew, what's his name? I'm trying to think of his name. I'll come up with it. - The original owner. - Yes, yes, who also won the old spinners. - He did at the time. - Yeah. - Before Art, Solomon took it over now. - Say it, John. - Tell me, John. - It's now owned by the Diamond Holdings Group. - Right. - Which also owns the Portland Sea Dogs. And there'll be some breaking news about the Portland Sea Dogs and Delta Dental down there over there. That's just a tease. - Oh! - Oh! - Oh! - They're gonna have to wait here. - Great deal. - September shells. - Nice. - But there'll be a tease about that. And I'm actually going to a game there on August 21st. - The day before he has his birthday. - Before gas turns like, what, 82 or 83 or something? - Oh, let's see. He would be-- - Let me write that down before we-- (laughing) - Definitely in his 80s. - Well, let's see. Born in 1939, so '61, yeah, 85. - Yeah, 85. It looks looking good. - Yeah. - So the other thing is going on in my life. And so, again, I encourage you to go to Gill Stadium and you'll see the big sort of jumbotron out there. And they were explaining to me that since they can't drive on the artificial turf, the fire people that put it up, the firemen that put it up, like they had to like go behind the stadium. It took like five hours to get it up. But you'll see, if you will, a jumbotron announcing legions and also says Northeast Delta Dental. - So the other thing's going on. Granite ledges race tomorrow at 9 a.m. on Langley Parkway, 5K, and that was a race that actually Joe Casper had a lot to do with starting it about 13 years ago. So we will acknowledge Joe and then get on with the race. So maybe you see my running friends there. You will not see Ellen, who again, commended you a kitty on your golf. She will be at the Belmont race, Belmont 10. So she, 5K wasn't good enough for her. - Not the horse race at Belmont. - No, no, no, no, no. - It's a different Belmont. - Yes. - And then that's for us right now. For my dental friends, the mobile dental clinic will be in Berlin, New Hampshire this weekend. So we reach out to the public and for my veteran's friends, if you're in oral pain and you're not on Medicaid, just give me a call at 603-223-1300 and Dr. Mitch Karayna or I will talk to you and we'll get you straightened out, so to speak. So that's my story, Ken, I'm sticking to it. That's my story. - Hey, Tom, talking about dental. You mentioned about, you always say a healthy smile. Everyone deserves a healthy smile. What do you think of mine today? - I love them. - Yeah, you know, yesterday I actually went to a new dentist here in Concord. Actually, and I did talk about the radio show. They're not that far from here. Actually, I mentioned his name, Dr. Anthony Francis. He follows you some on a website. But what a fantastic place to go. And, but look, is it not awesome? I had a chip in my tooth and I felt like a little unconscious, you know, self-conscious about this. I was unconscious, but I look, just look what happens. - Everybody deserves a healthy smile. - Thank you. - And the thing is, so you know, people that are fortunate enough to have, you know, regular insurance, or if you afford it, but there's 90,000 people in Medicaid that literally, many of them hadn't been gone to the dentist for like 20 years. And then of course, the veterans who nine out of 10 of them can't get served at the VA, not because of the people at the VA, just because they're rules. So I think you're pointing out why we, it's not dental insurance. It's really giving everybody a healthy smile. - It is, and you feel so much different. Like I said, I was self-conscious, but I had a chip in the front because I didn't wear my night guard when my son was sick and I was taking care of him. And I didn't care what I looked like at that moment. And so, yeah. So I went and took care of myself and look how great it is. - Look at that, huh? - Yeah. - And not only does it improve your smile, but it improves your disposition in the way you feel about yourself. - It's your well-being. - It's, yeah. - Right, it really is. - And then we're not even talking about all the medical dental relationships you've heard. I'm sure you've heard of a friend or a neighbor that had their heart surgery postponed because they had gum disease. - Right. - So the infection goes away. - Right. - So we have all these medical dental systemic relations putting aside the self-esteem issues, which are equally important. - Very good. And give that number out to them for the veterans again. So area code 603-223-1300. I'm saying it slowly because it, I'm gonna ask you to make sure to leave your phone number because oftentimes they give me their story without a phone number. And these days you can retrieve the number, but it involves getting IT involved. - Right. - And we'll take care of you. - By the way, it was Drew Weber, the first owner of the New Hampshire Fisher Cats, when they played that one year. Until Steadyman, he sold a team after that first year when they, before they moved into the brand new stadium, which is now known as Delta Dental Stadium, right on the river, if you've never been there. It is the best minor league park voted last year in the country. - And it's right. Not just double A park, best minor league park in the country. And I will say Hadlock Field in Portland is right up there as well. No doubt about it. - Historic Hadlock Field. - Historic Hadlock Field. - Will it be Hadlock Field much longer? - We don't know. - It will be, but I will explain it in a couple of weeks. - Oh, okay. All right. Okay. Looking forward to that. We'll get the story behind the story. We'll take a break. Cale and company continues WKXL NHTalkRadio.com.

We'll try to get it back and forth. - I think it's because of the fancy setup. - We had a chance. - I'm just going to say that. (laughing) - If you guys. - We were no expensive. - We were bragging about it. - And then it just went. - You know what? And it went down by its, I mean, it's like across the room and I think maybe that was a sign. (laughing) - So at any rate, we want to mention. - Yes. - Our vanity and sanity plate of the week. And we always like to do it in a musical way. So my stroke, if you please, our vanity and sanity plate of the week, is no, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. Actually, the plate is dash, nope, N-O-P-E, dash. - Really? - Yes. - Oh. - Remember this one done by the human beings? - I love this song. - Oh yeah. The one and only hit for the human beings. - It was a one hit wonder. - That's right. - One hit wonder, yep. So the plate dash, nope, dash. - Yeah, we had any winners for the. - Not yet.

And you win a conventional oil change with a synthetic blend. - From Danvie. - From weed family on a load of 124 stores street in conquer plus they will do a thorough check up of your vehicle at the same time. So there you go. 603, 224, 1450, one day left for our dash, nope, dash plate. - Right. - And so that will be a winner if they call in. - And I'm looking at my weed family automotive 10 that you let me borrow, 124 store street, www.weedfamilyautomotive.com. - That's correct. - And give 'em the phone number too. - Sure. - 'Cause they sell people and call 'em making a appointment. - 603, 225, 7988, 225, 7988. - There you go. Kitty Ray, our resident flick chick. So I'm gonna leave you this one. - I did. - This week? - I did. In fact, I've been promising Tom that I would go and that's why it's real important that I take a couple minutes. The fabulous four, it's not a marvel. It's not a marvel movie. It's definitely a chick flick. But it, and- - I want to. - Yes. And yeah, Ken went to, but- - And he didn't fall asleep. - He did not fall asleep. And basically four friends. They've been friends since high school. The previews looked awesome. I'm just gonna say that. Pat Middleitz in it, Susan Sarandon, Megamalani. Malani, let's see. And Sherry Lee Ralph, who I didn't really know, but I know she's a Broadway singer, but she's actually, I think, on Abbott Elementary. But anyways, even Michael Bolton's in this movie. I mean, there's like, oh my gosh, the cast was gonna be, it was gonna be fantastic. And based on those previews, I thought I'm slowly gonna love it, and I really didn't. It was, for me, it was a lame-all, and I'm gonna say lame-all movie. It was a week, the story had been told over and over, but I was actually embarrassed somewhat. I really was. - So they used the famous actors and actresses. - For the draw. - And like you say, the tease was good, 'cause it actually had me thinking I was gonna go to the movie, but thank you. - Save your money. - Exactly, save it, save it for a better one. - Well, wait for Netflix or something like that, but you know, they go to Key West and it's fun, and you know, I really wanted it to be nice and happy, and there was a character, her name is Kitty. Oh my gosh, she's a kitty. And she has a grandson, Nathan. Oh my gosh, I have a grandson, Nathan. - Yeah, she do. - That was about the best parts of it. - Wow, and even with that, you give it a little mark. - Yeah, hey, and Michael Bolton even looked dazed in it. I was so impressed. - Dazed and confused. - He looked like he was a robot. Oh my gosh, anyways, I give it one box of popcorn. - Ooh, that's the lowest one ever in a long time, yeah. - I think ever. - I almost walked out. - Do Bolton at least sing? - He did, but Andrew, it was so weird. - It might have been a sad-- - It just made me, you know what? Sad is probably a good description. - It might have been a super fake though, if you think you might. - Oh, I think it was the Michael Bolton. - He looked robotic. - He did look robotic. - He did look, and his eyes looked weird. - Yeah. - I don't know, anyways. - Were the Disney Imagineers on standby? - They might have. - I think, yeah, yeah. - Well, we welcome more people to our Facebook Live audience. - Wow. - You know, we're being seen in Binghamton, New York today. - Okay. - And we're being seen in Florida today by Jerry and Tiffany. - Oh my gosh, hello. - And Jody is out there as well.

What's up? (laughing) - And Virginia. Yes, Nate, we don't forget Virginia. - That's right. - New York, Virginia, Florida. You name it. We're all over the place. - We're on the old WBC, 27 states. - Yeah, no, 38 states. - 38 states. - And Canada. And Canada. All right, so, you know, we always have our, our Tommy Tuna of the Week today, by the way, we're celebrating National Polka Day. - Polka. - Polka. - Polka. - Yes, Polka. Like, not polka. - Polka dots. - Polka dots, but it's polka day. - Okay. - All right, can we, can we hear a little polka music? Here we go. - Oh, cool, good. We're on everybody to sing along at home here. I know the people on Facebook live can't hear this, but you'd recognize it once. Kidding and John and hopefully Andrew sing along, I won't join you 'cause I, I've ruined the whole thing.

We haven't had any sort of-- - No, you're right. - Abstances. - I know it's been unbelievable. - It's like that should be our theme song. - Yes. - Yeah, we got perfect attendance. - Yeah, the gang's all here. - Yeah, the gang's all here. - Yeah, that's right. - That's true, we should have a theme song. - It's also Book Lovers Day. We've had some good authors on this week. If you've been listening to Kayle and company. - He didn't have me on though. - I was gonna say. - I'm including you, we've had some good authors on. - The stories from the Star Line, big hit, particularly the new chapter. - Yes. - And all the money goes to the veterans' oral health. - So we've had some great authors on, including Tom Raphael, National Law International Co-Workers Day. - Yes, that's an important one, yeah. - National Handholding Day. And also National Rice Pudding Day. - Ooh, nothing like rice pudding. - Do you like rice pudding? - Yeah, it's true. There's nothing quite like it. - Is everyone cream on it? - Just once a year, Thanksgiving at that. - I much prefer a tapioca to rice pudding. If you want to compare the two. - How about Indian pudding? - Indian pudding. - Ooh, but a scotch. - But a scotch, yeah. - I like tapioca. I guess I'm a tapioca kind of guy. - My father, I never could understand this, but my mother would serve Indian pudding and he would start gagging you. (laughing) During the service when he was in the Navy in World War II, that's all they ever served the guys. - Indian pudding. - Yeah, it's probably served birthdays soon. (laughing) She served and I couldn't understand why he flipped out. (laughing) - Birthdays today. I think the number one birthday today, other than Nate's which is tomorrow. - Yes. - But we're celebrating here in studio today. - Yeah, tomorrow's his birthday. - But the actor Sam Elliot, and then recently we saw Sam Elliot lookalike. - Yes, a couple of weeks ago in Dover. - Yeah, it was. - Well, someone I went to high school with, her boyfriend, or-- - Looks like Sam Elliot. - Oh, he does, he does. - Yeah, yeah. - How old is Sam Elliot? Take a guess, kitty, right? - It does not matter. - He still looks good. Still looks good, no matter what they age. - He's in his late 70s, early 80s or something, I'm sure. - All right, well, I don't know, a 79. How many he has to be that? - I think, again, this is sort of like taking candy away from a kitty. - He didn't candy, dude. - 'Cause I think he just celebrated a milestone. So if you think he's 79, I'm gonna go with 80. - Ah, bingo! - Bingo! - Kansas City. Uh-oh, Cheryl, Cheryl is out there. I saw Eddie last night, Cheryl. I saw Eddie at the Scott Sprabbling concert. Wow, time flies, we have one more. - It's too much fun.
