Live At Five

Good show today, Glenn got calls regarding the new committee to help the future of the Thompson Park Zoo. Mayor Jeff Smith called in to explain everyone, including former Mayor Jeff Graham was asked prior to accepting. Then Glenn had several conversations about the Osama Bin Laden 'Letter to America' from 2002, which went viral yesterday on TikTok. Young uses praised Bin Laden for his desc...

Jerry Manor from Seacomm Credit Union was in the studio today. He spoke about how to preserve a good credit score. Then a caller chimed in about the Zoo and suggested it failed because they attempted to have a 'Drag -Show' up there. Donnie called about that too. Attorney Joe Stanley talked about how pedestrians can get hurt at construction zones. A man just lost his leg in an incident on S...

We're in-between stuff this time of year, and local issues are just boring. However, this didn't stop Glenn from having good discussions about the zoo, Court St parking and why political candidate for Congress Mario Fratto doesn't understand how Congresswoman Claudia Tenney calls herself a conservative. Good political discussion too, at the end of today's show.

Glenn was excited to have a new Christmas song added to the current 24/7 mix on Magic 103. It's the Ray Charles song from Christmas Vacation. This lead to a discussion of Chevy Chase, and the Vacation series, plus lead into a rant on how movies, music and TV shows have gone south. Glenn is sick of talking about the Zoo but talked about the stand-out buildings throughout the city.

Good follow up show to yesterday's Jesse interview. Duff chimed in about it and brought up old Watertown tattoo guy Dr. Strange. Another caller said 'Strange' ruined his sister in-law's life, Glenn used this to say other things. Samantha called about getting a stimulus check and SG said Jesse had an interesting story and nobody should dictate who should be on the show or not.

Glenn stepped away from politics today with an interview with local man, Jesse, the Chinese Zodiac Killer. Despite his moniker, Jesse explained why he gave himself that name and what lead up to his arrest and his incarceration for 13 months. Jesse is passionate about his book and his ideology, but wasn't very good at staying under the radar. However, he explains how getting caught was part of...

The results are in and Sarah, Kimble and Shoen will be sworn in council on January 1st. Glenn took calls throughout today's show, and the consensus is, Lisa and Cliff will only get worse. We'll have to see!

Well, today is the day, and although it's Election Day, most of today's show was all about last night's vote to keep the zoo open. A young lady caller, chimed in with her own thoughts, we'll have to wait and see. Good calls throughout today's lively show!

Just one day left before Election Day Watertown. Glenn pondered the results on today's show. Many chimed in to give their predictions. Glenn also can't understand why traffic lights don't work when you're in a hurry.

Glenn had Councilwoman Lisa Ruggiero on today to give here the opportunity to talk about why she's the candidate to be Watertown's first female mayor. Glenn challenged Lisa about the claims she's made about her opponent and the current mayor. Topics like the golf course meme page and billboard came up throughout today's show. Callers are upset about a lot of things, which was very...

Glenn had City Council Candidate Ben Shoen in today less than a week before Election Day. Ben went over the big city issues, including his thoughts about the recent water main break. TJ Babcock stopped by too, to give Ben support, both are running for the two open council seats. Ben also has a flat-tax property idea too, based on the lot size only.

Glenn was solo today, and was waiting for Joe to call, but he didn't. Good stuff today, Glenn gave us his thoughts about the Israeli conflict and took several calls concerning the Marine Admiral who has suspended promotions in the military due to his anti-abortion stance. Johnny Spezzano stopped by to let all know how successful day one was for his Children's Miracle Network Radio-Thon.

City Council Candidate, Leornard Spazziani had a rousing show today! Glenn asked the 'necessary' questions about the golf course deal, the pool AND why Leonard was seen helping sitting councilman, Cliff Olney take down a political sign on Factory Street. Another candidate chimed in to say Leonard was lying too. Plus, Leonard addressed questionable remarks made from another candidate too.

Write-In City Council Candidate, Jason Traynor was in the studio today to tell voters he has the conviction to be city councilman. Jim Leven popped in and the conversation gravitated towards the death of actor Matthew Perry over the weekend. Then it was back to Jason, who thinks drugs and poverty are huge issues in Watertown. Plus, he believes JCC should be a four year college.

Glenn had Cheryl Zeldin John and Tommy John today to get their thoughts about the Israeli conflict. This went on until the bottom of the hour, then Glenn talked about the accident that killed a young Watertown man and the sad news about the Watertown Zoo closing. It looks like it's for good too. Sad, just like everything else.

Wow, not (1) but (2) candidates for city council today! TJ Babcock AND his opponent, Ben Shoen were both on after Glenn's monthly conversation with Jerry Manor from Seacomm Credit Union. Both candidates talked about how their alliance will benefit the city of Watertown.

Passion, that's what AM1240 listeners have, passion for their city. Glenn covered this a day after his interview with City Council candidate Dr. Kimball. Glenn had Attorney Joe Stanley on today, he asked Joe about the rules around a school bus at a busy intersection.

Glenn had Dr. Robert Kimball on today's show. Retired Dr. Kimball is looking to become Watertown City Councilman. Plenty of callers today, who want to know how Dr. Kimball would have handled the golf course and pool deals with the current council members. Homelessness and the growing drug problems are at the top of his concern list.

Glenn did have a guest, it was supposed to be Councilwoman Lisa Rugierio, but she cancelled last minute. So, it was Glenn and his listeners. Too many 'In the Weeds' callers, so Glenn stretched his legs out about the Israeli/Palestinian crisis. Also, Cliff Olney wants answers to the water main break! Glenn says his press release looks like it was written by anyone else but Cliff!

Glenn had State Senator Mark Walczyk in today to talk about Albany, his thoughts about yesterday's water main break, and the positive initiatives set in place by his Republican colleagues. Good discussion about Natural Gas and Albany's attempt to eliminate it forever.

Glenn did a tribute to the late Suzzane Somers who passed away at 76. After a short shout out about tomorrow's debate, it was all Israel, and why people shouldn't be sympathetic to a country that was born to hate the Jews. Glenn asked Duff if any other Republican can win in 2024, he said no, Glenn agrees.

With the world gone crazy, it's tough to talk about anything other than Israel and the reaction to everything here in America. But, the local Zoo continues to be a topic, so that discussion continued today. Nice day out, so Glenn did most of the talking.

Glenn paid tribute to a local radio newsman who lost his battle to a recent illness. Also, Glenn had good things to say about the two streets dedicated to former mayors Jeff Graham and Joe Butler Jr. Crazy Ray also talked about how the Duff was rejected by Pat Sajak and didn't make the final cut to be on Wheel of Fortune.

No Joe today, so Glenn went solo on today's national and local issues. SG has an issue with Councilman Cliff Olney, and Glenn says Ozempic makes people look like aliens. Good stuff!

What a show and it's only Tuesday! Yesterday's show was for the 'ages' and today was an appropriate follow-up. Louie called in with his complaints, Jason wants an interview and the Speaker of the House is OUT! Plus, Glenn covered last night's council meeting and talked about how mean Swifties' really are. SG called to say Glenn is nuts!
