He was making a joke about Felger getting his car stolen previously and it came off as racially insensitive. It wasn't even close to what you're thinking. This isn't like when D&C made the comments about the gorilla and the residents of Mattapan, and even they were only suspended.

He's been suspended for the rest of the week though so the issue is over now.

Get three quotes for sure. Also consider heat pumps. The incentives right now through mass save and the inflation reduction act are great.

Yeah, for us even when we did it it took months for the units to become available - definitely something to plan waaaay ahead on

SILA's quotes are exorbitantly high.

He looks like the kind of guy who would say that.

Yes. There are also substantial national tax rebates as of this year for switching from gas to heat pumps. OP may have a little more trouble finding contractors familiar with the latest advances in heat pump systems (they sucked in the 70s and their reputation has not kept up with the reality that they're way better now).

You're leaving out the part that he had a car stolen there before. That definitely played into busting his balls. He would not have said it out of nowhere.

i'm in my early 20s and love the korean restaurants in allston

Its fine if he loses his job.

Who cares

Their whole shtick is to be condescending douche bags and give vague hot takes to get people to call in angrily and say stupid things so they can say “Oh but I didn’t actually say that, what I said was…”. It’s the radio version of garbage reality TV. They’re only on the air because it works.

It’s like the 2nd date update on 96.9. It’s all scripted fake phone calls to elicit reactions or keep people listening through the commercial breaks.

Sounds about right to me, but get another estimate or two. I recently paid about $15k for a tankless gas boiler with three zones, including installation. Look at Mass Save, they offer rebates and 0% loans up to $25k.

What does a car thief look like to you???

This allowed me to piece together what the hell is going on, so thanks.

Tone deaf AND ignorant. What a catch.

Get lost.

They’re just obnoxiously loud frauds that have a platform and are payed well to give the worst sports takes to stir up listeners. So bad. I just stopped listening to sports radio in general here.

r/StupidFood would enjoy this.

This is why I can't stand Mazz, but I understand why he does it. When he was the beat writer for the Red Sox while working for the Herald in the late 90's/early 00's, he was an occasional guest on Ordway's show on 'EEI, but eventually worked his way into regular appearances along with with other Herald, ProJo, and Ledger guys (Globe banned their writers from appearing on WEEI for a long time, not sure if they still do).

Massarotti was actually a kind and humble guy in the beginning of his radio career. He was a baseball encyclopedia and his opinions were always balanced and well-spoken. Then he started getting more aggressive with callers and his opinions (Ordway called this his Angry Tony persona), and it was clear he was taking advice to be more controversial to secure a more lucrative future in radio. Obviously he succeeded, hence why I understand his reason for acting like an asshole.

I do think it's an act, and that he's not as bad of a guy as he comes off as, but it comes at a price. I couldn't listen to him on Red Sox broadcasts because I just associated his awful radio persona with what I saw watching the team. I have no sympathy for Tony at this point, and I'd be fine with his career going in the direction of two other loser scumbags formerly at 'EEI, John Dennis and Gerry Callahan.

What do you think Maz is looking at on the video that makes him think those guys would make sense in a car thief joke? Are they holding one of those window door jimmy things? Are they dressed in masks? No, they're black. That's why he thinks they look like thieves. It's racist.

Are you trying to argue this point because it feels like something you'd say or do? Maybe you would need to rethink that.

How hard is it to see that seeing two black dudes and saying "haha those two car thieves behind you" is racist?

And the guy talks a lot, maybe he misspoke and the whole thing was somehow funny in his head. Maybe joking that the two black guys "who can't hear us, right?" are car thieves... is racist?

I seems like it to me. I honestly don't think it's worth arguing about where we'd put this on a 1-10 scale. It's pretty subjective how that scale is defined. I'd probably put anything over a 5 as fireable. I think the guy should be fired for this.

Lost all respect for that man after his world cup antics

Sila always comes in high, but they're available/fast/quality/and you get 5 years of free maintenance. Would definitely get at least two more bids to compare against.

I spent $9500 to replace an old gas burner + gas water heater with a single Navien unit, plumbed to three zones.

Sounds like you're doing AC too if there's a condenser involved?
