There is nothing like getting a new car.... especially when you're in that "honeymoon" phase of wanting to protect it at all costs. That means not parking close to anyone, no food in the car and brushing your feet off before getting in.

Since Kendra's discounted dishwasher has been leaking all over her kitchen, we wanted to know if any of YOU bought something at a discount and had it backfire on you?

We talked with Marshall Hook, Communications Project Manager for MassDOT about the super fun "Name a Snowplow" Contest they have annually. Students in K -8th grade have a chance to show off their creativity and wit by proposing names for a snowplow in their school’s Highway District. Each winning classroom will receive a $100 gift card for school supplies!
This morning we checked in with Claudia Mintz, Executive Director of One Wish Project and got the updated number of toys donated.... and we hit 1,500!!! We are halfway to our goal of 3,000 gifts donated by THIS FRIDAY.
We are halfway through collecting toys for our ONE MAGICAL WISH as we stock the shelves for One Wish Project so they can provide birthday celebrations throughout the year for children and teens living in homeless shelters and foster care. We talked with Josh McAnistan, Residential Services Assistant Manager for Community Teamwork about how One Wish Project has impacted the families they serve.
What a special treat! Voices of Hope Boston performed some of our favorite holiday classics in the studio. They are raising funds for cancer research through theatrical performances, so anyone that wants to donate please visit VOHBoston.org
We loved having Voices of Hope Boston back IN STUDIO. They have more than 150 active volunteer members who share a passion for the performing arts and a desire to join the fight against cancer by raising awareness and funds for cancer research.
As we continue our ONE MAGICAL Wish, we loved talking with volunteer Dawn Sorrenti, who has worked with One Wish Project for over 2 years now and shared why this organization means so much to her. We hope to reach out goal of 3,000 gift by next week!
The day started with Sue's car breaking down, then while driving her husbands car home, got another flat tire. Then the evening ended with Kendra getting stuck in a Boston parking garage for nearly 2 hours and missing the Broadway show she was in town to see.
As we continue our 4th ONE MAGICAL WISH, we talked with 18 yr Hannah Russo who received a birthday celebration from One Wish Project. We loved hearing from her about what that experience was like!
The Morning MAGIC listeners called in and shared their strategies for holiday shopping.... fun fact: most of them are ALL DONE!!!
When it comes to holiday shopping, most people fall into one of three categories: STICK TO A LIST; WANDER AIMLESSLY; BUY ONE FOR YOU AND TWO FOR ME.
Are you a Yankee Swap kind of person? What was the craziest, wackiest, or funniest Yankee Swap gift you either bought or ended up with?? Maybe a toilet.... or a wooden wall clock?
Our ONE MAGICAL WISH is in full swing and today we talked with Carmen Vega, the Executive Director of Lazarus House in Lawrence about the wonderful families they serve and the impact that One Wish Project has on these deserving families.
We always enjoy having Boston Pops Conductor Keith Lockhart in studio with us to kick off the HOLIDAY POPS season! You'll be able to enjoy the magic of the season with classics like "Jingle Bells,” “The 12 Days of Christmas,” and “Sleigh Ride.”
David taught Sue and Kendra something new this morning: Sugar or Sprite mixed into the water when you first put up your Christmas tree can actually prolong the life of the tree! Who knew?! (Maybe everyone except Sue and Kendra?....)
We talked with Tammy Johnston, owner of Main Street Reps about her longtime support for One Wish Project and their mission to provide birthday celebrations for children and teens in homeless shelters and foster care. Main Street Reps are one of the original corporate donors and we appreciate their support!
What better way to get into the true holiday spirit than to be talking to Macaulay Culkin! Of course everyone knows him for his roles in the movie classics like Uncle Buck, The Good Son, My Girl … but best of all, we know him as Kevin McCallister in one of the greatest Christmas movies of all time: Home Alone. Kendra talked with him about hosting a screening of the movie followed by a Q&A at The Chevalier Theatre on Dec 15!
More with Hannah and Claudia from One Wish Project as we kick off our 4th Annual One MAGICAL Wish!
We loved having One Wish Project founder Hannah Finn and her mom, Executive Director Claudia Mintz in the studio to talk about their mission of providing birthday celebrations for children and teens living in homeless shelters and foster care.

We loved talking with Josh Rashid, the owner of Coffee Milano in Middleboro about his DANCE FOR COFFEE trend that has gone viral!
What do you do when you give the painters the wrong color shade for the interior of your house -- and then walk into the surprise with your wife standing right next to you? .....Cross your fingers and hope she likes it!
Karen Blake called into Morning MAGIC and got Sue, David and Kendra ready for the big switch to Christmas music TONIGHT at 5pm!
If you’re looking for something to do to kick off the holiday season … Join Sue and Kendra and TONIGHT atthe Methuen Festival of Trees “First Night!” We talked with Rosemaria Redman, Board President about the fun event!
MAGIC listener Paula agrees that people need to sit down and be quiet in the movie theatre!
It's GLICK-ED weekend - Both Wicked and Gladiator 2 come out in theatres this weekend... But the big story is that people going to see WICKED are singing so loudly during the movie that theaters are now putting up a message before the movie starts telling people not to sing, wail or flirt.
Congratulations to our Sue Tabb who took home the Merit Award for Air Personality - and to David, Sue and Kendra for taking home the Merit Award for the "Finish the Hootie Lyric Contest" at last nights Sound Bites Awards!
Apparently not everyone has a kids table (or a back up table) ... one of our MAGIC listeners always has the kids sitting with the adults!
The Kids Table - we all have one, we've all sat at one. It's usually the folding table, with the backup silverware and the only thing that gets placed in the center of the back up table is bread and butter.
We ALL know to avoid politics at the Thanksgiving table, but what other topics are off limits?
David must have forgotten that Thanksgiving is next week, because he scheduled painters to paint the inside of his house right now!
We becomes Boston’s Christmas Station on Friday.... So we ask YOU, what should the first holiday song be? Be prepared to sing a line or two!
Sue’s book WAKING OZ is available now online at BARNES AND NOBLEIt’s in stock and ready to ship in a few days. We want to support Sue and her co-author Deirdre Duggan Budzyna! The WAKING OZ Book Challenge: When you get the book take a selfie and send it to us so we can share your photo and give you a shout out!
Sue and David couldn't believe it. Kendra breezed through her first adult read in 20 years. She read THE BOYFRIEND by Freida McFadden in just 4 hours and LOVED IT!!
Betty White is getting her own postage stamp, which got us wondering: who would YOU want to see on a stamp?
David has painters in his house for the next 2 weeks.... Sue fingers are sore from the shots she had yesterday and everything is Kendra's house and car are now broken.
Since it's been 20 years since an adult book has been in front of her face, Sue and David have assigned Kendra to read THE BOYFRIEND by Freida McFadden (368 pages by the way) by Tuesday and present them with a book report.
Kendra hasn't read a "grown up book" in over 20 years. Sue and David will assign a book that she needs to read and write a book report on!
We found a listener who is TEAM DAVID on the mail question! She never opens her husbands mail!
Its the final day for our MOST BOSTON SLOGAN EVAH contest... as we continue to take listener calls on what Boston slogan they would put on the Celtics Championship banner when it goes up tomorrow night!
We can't make this up. Sue's car wouldn't start this morning so she took her husbands car (while he was still sleeping) and left HIM to deal with her "bucket of bolts." Poor Tom.
We continue to take listener calls on their MOST BOSTON SLOGANS ever, for a chance to win Celtics tickets!
We are loving these Boston Slogan calls from our listeners - "WICKED PISSAH" - "DUNKIN WITH DUNKIN" - " TIME FOR ANOTHER TATTOO" and so many more!
Morning MAGIC listeners have been calling in to give us their MOST BOSTON SLOGAN ever- for a chance to win Celtics tickets!
In honor of the Celtics Championship Banner going up on Tuesday's home opener against the Knicks, David, Sue and Kendra want to hear your MOST BOSTON SLOGAN ever -- and if yours is the best, you could win a pair of Celtics tickets to a game this season.
David is going to the doctors for a check up and mentioned to Sue and Kendra that he plans to "eat healthy" today thinking it'll help his immediate results..
Since Sue threw a flag in Throwback Live, we had to listen to the official replay - and decide was she right??????????
It was the first day back for Sue and Kendra playing Throwback Live against EACH OTHER and Sue has already thrown a flag... and one of our MAGIC listeners is backing her!
This is the second table in 3 years that has shattered into pieces in the O'Leary house. Was it the wind? Was it human error in the sturdiness of the umbrella?? The world may never know.
David is back and wearing his medal... but if you run 26 miles you have earned the right to wear it to work. But only until Friday....
Sue proposed her idea of having a soup bar in the office kitchen, we got a custom built shelf from our maintenance guy Mark Mingels, we had listeners call in with their pitch ideas -- and now we have our big boss Mike Thomas on the phone to pitch the whole plan!
The Morning MAGIC listeners had some great tips for Kendra to get a replacement shelf for her fridge... Call the manufacturer, check Amazon and even some second-hand appliance places!
The Morning MAGIC listeners called in to make Kendra feel better that she isn't the only one with EVERYTHING seeming to break - just in time for the holidays....
When it rains it pours. First, Kendra had to replace all 4 tires in her car, plus she needs to fix a filter in her car engine ($1200), and on top of that, her refrigerator shelf shattered into a million pieces!
This week is the week that Sue's trash limit begins. BUT --- listener Alfred emailed us and offered to give Sue his trash compactor!
He did it!! David ran the Chicago Marathon yesterday... to support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, his 5th marathon overall. He checked in with Sue and Kendra this morning after his much needed ice bath...
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and one of the places offering hope to survivors of Domestic Violence is the Stone House, an agency in Roxbury which has been helping people affected by domestic violence rebuild their lives for 50 years. Sue and Kendra talked with Gina Varamo, their Chief Development Officer.
We asked and the Morning MAGIC listeners did not disappoint. They called in to give their best pitch to our boss Mike, so that Sue can get her soup bar!
Sue is still on the journey to getting a SOUP BAR in our office kitchen, and so today Sue and Kendra asked the MAGIC listeners to call in with their pitch to our boss Mike... and to convince him that we desperately need soup!
The MAGIC listeners called in to say that they agree with Kendra... some of those kiddie rides are scary!!
Who is afraid of the Ferris Wheel?? Kendra apparently... Sue dragged her on the ride at the Topsfield Fair which TERRIFIED Kendra - especially when they stopped at the tippity top!
Sue and Kendra had a day at the Topsfield Fair on Tuesday but the coolest part? Riding the 6 Horse Hitch... VERY COOL.
Sue and Kendra continued eating their way through the Topsfield Fair with Boston Garden Pizza and Caramel Apples!
Sue and Kendra ate their way through the Topsfield Fair after the listeners voted for their top FAVORITE FAIR FOODS and it started with Anna's Fried Dough and the GIANT Fresh Squeezed Lemonade.
David is running his 5th marathon this weekend -- in Chicago! He is running on Team AFSP and you can still donate to his running team!! GO DAVID!
David, Sue and Kendra talked with WCVB Chief Meteorologist Cindy Fitzgibbon about Hurricane Milton - and what residents down in Florida can expect!
Your spouse's HS reunion, company dinner, karate banquet…We have all "taken one for the team." David’s wife Kathy signed them both up to host a coffee hour at their church except...Kathy can’t make it…David is hosting alone while she goes to book club. Kendra and Sue don't think it was an accident!
We started with 16, narrowed it down to 8... and now we have the FOUR FINALISTS when it comes to food at the Topsfield Fair. So today, Sue and Kendra will taste and try all of them: PIZZA, THE BIG LEMONADE, FRIED DOUGH and CARAMEL APPLES.
Kendra does not service her car, like ever. She only fixes something when the light goes on. She now has the check engine light on, needs a new filtration system and two new tires before she can pass inspection. Her sticker expired in --- July!
What's up with everyone having the 75 foot skeletons and witches?? So many people seem to be upping their Halloween decor game!
After hearing about Kendra's husband helping to save a woman having a seizure, we went right to the expert... We talked with Ania Aliev, CEO of Life Support Systems, about the importance of learning CPR and how to use an AED.
One of MAGIC Listeners called in and shared the incredible story of her daughter (a nurse) who witnessed a man having a stroke while she was in line waiting to get food at Olive Garden, and saved him!
One of our MAGIC listeners called in with a story about her assisting someone who was seizing while she was at Dunks!
Kendra's husband jumped into action when they witnessed a woman having a seizure, which got us thinking about lifesaving techniques... including being CPR certified!
We can't make this up... Sue may have driven the station car (a bright purple SUV) in the wrong gear all morning... and now all the dashboard lights are on!
First she drove over debris in her car and sliced her tire wide open on the Tobin Bridge... and today, while driving the MAGIC VAN, had low tire pressure and somehow knocked it into manual transmission mode and broke down on Storrow Drive!!!
According to our listeners, David may be the only one who waits until "bedtime" to change into comfy clothes or pajamas!
Our listeners have been calling all morning to tell David to put on some sweats and relax!
We need to talk about David's pajama situation... First of all, he stays in his work clothes and/or jeans all day until "bedtime" AND THEN he will change into pajamas, like actual pajama sets. Is he the only who does this??
David, Sue and Kendra talked with Jon Taffer, star of BAR RESCUE and founder of Taffers Browned Butter Bourbon. You can meet Jon and get a bottle of his delicious bourbon TONIGHT @ 5pm, Billy’s Liquors (760 Brockton Avenue in Abington).
Dave Thomson, of Thomson Communications, stopped by the studio to talk all things Topsfield Fair! America's Oldest Fair is back for another year of fun and LOTS OF FOOD.... The Fair is open October 4-14!

David, Sue and Kendra talked with Tom Gatzunis, of the Massachusetts Taskforce One about their search and rescue efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.
In honor of the Topsfield Fair opening this Friday 10/4... we immediately went to the FOOD. Every day from now until Tuesday 10/8, YOU (the MAGIC listeners) will get to vote on our FAIRest Of Them All Food Bracket and get from 16 to the final 4 BEST FAIR FOODS of all time. On Tuesday, Sue and Kendra will EAT THEIR WAY through the final four that you choose!

Sue's town is not only limiting the amount of trash barrels she can use but they are also shrinking the size of the barrels from 96 gallons to 64 gallons. What is she going to do with all that extra garbage??
David's wife Kathy was pulled out of the security line at the airport for her giant hairspray can.... again.
The MAGIC Listeners called in with their recommendations for the SCARIEST Haunted Houses ever!
Sue and Kendra want to scare the bejesus out of David. Last year they took him to Salem and he did fine so this year they are upping the stakes. We are crowdsourcing the MOST terrifying haunted experience in the Boston area.
David and his wife flew to DC over the weekend to meet their daughters boyfriend but they had a little plan trouble on the way...
September is actually National Service Dog Awareness Month and we are lucky enough here in Massachusetts to have the absolute best of the best. This morning we talked with Cathy Zemaitis, the Chief Development and Programs Officer of NEADS World Class Service Dogs about the incredible work they are doing and their event tonight at the Seaport!
Sue called Kendra's mom Gina and got her on the phone to discuss her daughter's dirty habits of not washing new underwear!!
And we end the discussion with an Occupational Health Nurse who told Kendra what is really on those new clothes......
The MAGIC listeners have been calling all morning to chime in on whether they think Kendra is gross (or not) for not washing new clothes, especially underwear before putting them on!
Sue is totally disgusted that Kendra (not only doesn't wash new bed sheets) but that she never washes new underwear!! She just cuts off the tags and puts it on!!
David is meeting one of his daughter’s boyfriends for the first time this weekend. Sue and Kendra have some tips!
We’re talking with lifestyle, fashion and beauty expert Gretta Monahan — who also happens to be a Harvard Business School grad and mom of two, who is going to give Sue some ideas for a successful and fashionable HOME OFFICE…..
Sue and Kendra learned something new about David: When he answers the front door, he brings with him... a wooden spoon. Why, you ask? Good question...........
Who uses the front door?? David, Sue and Kendra realized that IF you come their front door, then you're probably either selling them solar panels or campaigning for something!
Kendra went in for a routine mammogram and (like so many of us) when you go into the doctors office, she was like a little kid trying to follow all the directions!
In partnership with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), this year’s I’m Listening special will feature artists, athletes, medical experts and more, highlighting why having open and honest conversations around mental health is important, while discussing how they manage their own daily struggles. Audacy’s I’m Listening serves as a safe space for those struggling with mental health, encouraging them to call in with their experiences and learn about mental wellness tools, showing them that they are never alone.
Sue and Kendra thought they carried a lot in their bags but when David opened up his backpack in the studio.... everything except the kitchen sink fell out...
After all this talk about jarring sauce we decided to go right to the expert... Chef Jason Santos (star of Bar Rescue/owner of Citrus & Salt, Nash Bar and Buttermilk & Bourdon) about how to properly jar your own sauce and keep it on the shelf.
Kendra got a new phone last week and all was going well and good until this morning. She can email, she can text and even get into her apps - the only she can't do is make a phone call.
Kendra is determined to make sauce and NOT freeze it so the debate over jarred sauce continues...
Listener Christine says jarring sauce is not that easy and that there is a safety process... now we are all scared.
Today started with David, Sue and Kendra figuring out what to make HOMEMADE... then we got on the subject of jarring red pasta sauce... Do we freeze it, shelve it? The MAGIC listeners are weighing in on the matter..
Sue and Kendra have decided that David is a total Food Snob. Not only is he particular about ingredients and preparation but the presentation HAAAAAAAS to be perfect. Seriously. Even when he is here!
Sue is back in the Pickleball arena... David and Kendra fully expect her to become the next Pickleball Champ!
The MAGIC listeners called in to assist with David and Sue's Lotion Intervention for Kendra....
David and Sue had an intervention with Kendra about her smelly lotion. It's a heavy, very flowery smell that permeates the room! Kendra says she's loved it since high school (um, 25 years ago?) It's Bath & Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom and it's nauseating!
How did last night go for David? Sue and Kendra laughed when he said he'd be looking to go home from dinner by 8:15p..... What time did David get home? MUUUCCHH LATER.
Are you weekend worthy? Like A Friday or Saturday night meet up? OR will someone make plans with you on a Thursday night (which, lets me honest, is kind of like the BACK UP).
MAGIC listeners called in to say that handwriting issues are not just about being "lefty!"
We decided that David has the most illegible handwriting ever. He wrote down two sentences for Sue and Kendra to try and read... and neither one of them could decipher it. Is it because he's a lefty too?
David and Sue tried explaining to Kendra what it was like to drive a standard AKA "stick shift" and then we realized it'd be more fun to TEACH her........ in the parking lot.
We have all done some crazy things as kids... but David takes the top prize for "You Did WHAAAAAAAAAT" -- He went on a joyride (without a license) and well, it didn't end well.
The best part of Sue's Soup Quest was having Melissa from our HR department call in and give Sue her take on the possibility of a soup bar in the office!
Loved our MAGIC listener Brian who called in to say that single serve soups are delicious!
Since Sue desperately wants a SOUP BAR in the office kitchen we dragged our boss Sal into the studio to see if this dream of hers can actually come true.
And to top it all off... one of our MAGIC listeners called in to say that at her high school, students LOVE PUZZLING!!! So apparently, it's not just for us old folks...
Sue and her husband have been PUZZLING lately. And if you don't know what PUZZLING is, it's when you set up a side table in your living room, start a puzzle and go back to it for days....
When Sue started asking David and Kendra a ton of football questions -- we just decided its better to ask an expert. So we called Wiggy.
MAGIC listener Greg called in and said not only does he NOT power his phone down... he doesn't even silence it. He is on call 24 hours a day...
This MAGIC listener says he always turn his phone off when going into an event, meeting or place where you need to "put your phone away."
Interesting question: When you need to "put your phone away" whether at an event, in church or in a meeting... do you POWER IT OFF totally like David? Or just SILENCE IT like Sue and Kendra?
Loved talking with Nate Bertone, Salem native who has had international success as a playwright, designer and producer. His passion for ending Alzheimer's can be seen in his work across multiple disciplines including in the musical Letters from War, his comedic play, the SeaView Nursing Home for the Newly Deceased and NANA NANA which is now the name of his brand new book new Alzheimer’s children’s book. He is also hosting a book launch party on Tuesday at the North Shore Music Theatre.
Listeners want to know which one of us (David, Sue or Kendra) is truly a "morning person?"
We introduced a new feature today on the show called ASK US ANYTHING! You can email us: MorningMAGIC@gmail.com or call us 617-655-1067 and ask David, Sue or Kendra ANYTHING YOU WANT! We will answer the questions LIVE ON THE AIR!
We know that they say 18 or older but it seems to be more like 25 or 27... David and Sue still have their kids on their phone family plans!
Kendra gives David and Sue a list of grocery items to see who can guess closer to the price....
Loving these calls from our listeners on what they will never ever ever ever buy in a store brand.....
We all have certain grocery items that we always have to buy with the name brand! Ketchup? Maple Syrup? Maybe even Q-Tips.....
David, Sue and Kendra talked with MAGIC listeners about where they are grocery shopping to find the best deals and cheapest prices.... one of our listeners mentioned Walmart!
Jon Bon Jovi and his team talked a woman down from a ledge on a Pedestrian Bridge in downtown Nashville on Tuesday... Bon Jovi was filming a music video on the bridge, which was open to the public during the shoot. In a video posted by MNPD, a woman wearing a blue shirt is seen over the ledge of the bridge with her arms wrapped around its railing.
The video shows Bon Jovi and a production assistant walking along the bridge, over to the woman... and ultimately saving her life.
One of our MAGIC listeners called in and took home the top prize for Sport Parent Craziness... 5 kids in 5 different sports -- AND WORKING FULL TIME!
Kendra is a newbie to the "School Sports Parent" group -- and she needs some advice from the MAGIC listeners!
David and Kendra were talking about whether its worth it to have Pet Insurance -- and got a call from a Veterinary Nurse who says it's totally worth it!
David has been a pet owner for a long time but has never had pet insurance; Kendra got it with her dog years ago and says it's totally worth it.
David and Kendra remembered iconic actor James Earl Jones with some fun facts you probably didn't know about him! James Earl Jones, an icon in movies, on TV and on stage... passed away at 93 yrs old.
Sue made the mistake of telling David and Kendra that she takes her car to the dealer for every service, even for a tire rotation.
Sue just paid her car off last week, and then today driving into work she heard some screeching sounds..
David had quite a week... he moved BOTH daughters out of one apartment... and then BOTH daughters into TWO SEPARATE apartments in two different states!
Joyeux Anniversaire to Sue's daughter Katie who is celebrating her 27th birthday in Paris (on a work trip)! Katie called in and shared some of the amazing experiences she's been having!
We had some great calls from our listeners on Outfit Objections: One listener (Sara) said her foot is a kids size 3 or 4-- so she never can find shoes that either don't light up or have Disney characters on them!
Sue and Kendra have a few objections when it comes to clothing... for example, why are there still loose tags on shirts? And why isn't the padding permanently sewn into all sports bras??
Join Sue at the WeBreathe Soul Soiree on September 14th! You'll be supporting mental health and wellness with live music, inspiring stories, and a chance to make a difference.
Sue and Kendra talked with Greg Chastain, the Founder and President of Voices of Hope Boston about their mission to raise awareness and funds for cancer research through performing arts. All 150 performers/members have been affected in some way by cancer. They share stories of hope, loss, and courage through song, dance, and testimonials, allowing for an intimate and inspiring look at our collective fight against cancer.
So many people calling in to give Kendra advice on what to do with her old phone.... she desperately needs to upgrade.
The MAGIC listeners have some advice for Kendra as she ponders trading in her iPhone 8... Listener Dawn even told her about an app that will let you add the Home Button (since Kendra is so attached to it, LOL).
Kendra doesn't like change but she is desperate need of a new phone. She still has the HOME button and can't let it go.... but we are going to help her cross into the 21st century.
Barry, one of our MAGIC listeners, who also happens to be a bagger at a local supermarket, called in to give his take on the conveyor belt incident!
One of our MAGIC listeners, Cindy, called in to say she agrees with Kendra's reaction but that she will sometimes offer to help put others groceries up on the belt!
Kendra had another incident at the supermarket - this time it involved someone in line behind her who shoved her food ahead on the belt because he was in a rush.
Loved hearing from our MAGIC listener "Mrs. Mahoney" who called in and told us she has been teaching Kindergarten for 45 years in the same school!!
David and Kendra share their families favorite back to school traditions like going out to dinner, buying new outfits and even reading your favorite First Day of School book!
Here's your PSA for the day: After you walk 15 miles inside the grocery store... and after you unload your groceries into your car, PUT THE SHOPPING CART BACK IN THE CARRIAGE CORRAL!
David's friend Julie is one of those friends that will let you know RIGHT AWAY if your seasonal decorations are past their expiration date!! (HINT: Don't leave the Christmas lights up year round!)
MAGIC Listeners called in to share some of their unexpected expenses... including another car repair SHOCKER!
David's car repair estimate was over $4,000, so we started venting about last minute expenses that have us counting our pennies!
Soccer, Dance, Cheerleading, Football, Volleyball... whatever it is, we feel you parents!!
We've all been there and today it's Kendra turn. She went out with her girlfriends last night, had one, two, three, maybe four adult beverages .... needless to say, this morning is a struggle.
David, Sue and Kendra talked about the news that Methuen Schools are just one of many school districts who are deciding to ban cell phone use in the classroom.
David, Sue and Kendra talked with Dr. Scott Hadland about the mental impact of cell phone use for kids in school and get his take on some schools banning them in the classroom.
MAGIC listener Beth called in to give Sue medical advice on her alleged "Plantar Fasciitis!"
If you know Sue Tabb, like we know Sue Tabb, then you know she is a HUGE self-diagnoser. Her foot was bothering her, so she went on WebMD and now thinks she has Plantar Fasciitis.
Listener Mark had the best and final response to "bringing a spouse to your high school reunion"... when you and your wife go to the rival schools!
MAGIC listener Nicole is also going to her high school reunion - for her its the 30th and she agrees with Kendra on it being a good time!
MAGIC listener Janie says she is VERY EXCITED to not only go to her 50th class reunion, but she is also on the planning committee (like Kendra) - and said that after a certain number of years -- everyone just goes with the flow.
Who gets excited for a high school reunion?? Kendra, that's who! She graduated in 2000 and since her class never had a reunion, she is helping to plan it for summer 2025!
The most Boston thing ever happened yesterday, and it involved a Duck Boat. One of the Duck Boats was on the street doing a routine rescue training drill, when a toddler fell into the water nearby.... The father jumped in, and then without hesitation, the two Duck Boat drivers, Michael Rosario and Kevin O'Neill got the boat into the water and saved them! The two workers on the Duck Boat say they have never seen anything like this in their combined 20-plus years on the job.
MAGIC Listener Nicole called in from Rhode Island and had every possible piece of information that one could ever need to know about, when it comes to chickens.
We started talking about the difference between brown and white eggs and listener Michelle called in and debunked the famed 90's brown egg jingle....
So in case you're wondering how it went for David with Linus and Lucy's vet appointment on Friday.... IT DIDN'T. He could not get either cat into the carrier!! They missed both appointments!
And to close out the subject.. one of our MAGIC listeners called in to say Friendly's Fishamajig is what she wants brought back!
In addition to Tab and Fanta.. the MAGIC listeners have also requested that Zima be brought back!
Kendra was very upset last week because Dunks stopped selling their Green Goddess Wrap -- Sue is upset because her curl cream got discontinued -- David is upset because his favorite ice cream place has stopped selling his Almond Joy ice cream.. and our listeners have also chimed in!
A Lynn resident won the $15 Million Money Maker instant ticket game at One Stop Mart on Boston Street.... K&K Trust of Waltham claimed the prize and said the winner will use the money to take care of their kids and family.
Jenelle Marie, of US Gold and Pawn in Manchester NH, witnessed a customer named Donald, a 90-year-old disabled U.S. Air Force veteran who came in the store frequently to pawn jewelry so he could use the money to take care of his wife suffering from dementia. Seeing he was in need, Jenelle started a GoFundMe for him and as of now, it has close to $400,000!
Kendra talked with Boston's Fab 5 - The New Kids On The Block- Danny, Donnie, Joey, Jordan and Jonathan at the NKOTB Pool Party in the Omni Seaport Hotel. Along with 200 listeners poolside, they talked about their unconditional love for Boston, the fans and their future goals for the band!
David and Kendra couldn't believe this story when they read it.... Dan Doherty was selling homemade ice cream to raise money for his brother's hockey team, the Boston Bear Cubs. The program caters to athletes with special needs. Someone reported his operation to the health department, and they sent him a letter shutting him down.

When you go out to dinner with a group of friends or family, who usually picks up the check? Is there a system in place where everyone just equally divides? Or does one person grab it first?

There was an incident in Kendra's kitchen yesterday.... it involved chicken fingers, a pair of scissors and Kendra's finger.

The odds of having identical quadruplets are 1 in 15 million — which makes Mercedes and Jonathan Sandhu very special. The couple in Texas welcomed four identical girls back in May, and we have Jonathan on the show this morning to talk about it!
To buffet or not to buffet? Who are the people that look forward to ALL YOU CAN EA? (Aiden is one of them for sure!)
One thing (of many) that we will miss about Aiden when he leaves us tomorrow, is watching him eat his 3rd grade-style lunches. Every day he brings in either a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with milk; or the flamin' hot Doritos with a bologna and cheese sandwich!
Aiden announced this morning that he got a full time job and will be officially leaving us tomorrow!! We are so sad to have him go but we are unbelievably proud of the work he has done and what a special addition he was to our show!!
Tuesday is bad enough just being a Tuesday but then you add in the 100 red lights that Sue, Kendra and Aiden hit on their way into work every day and it just makes us cringe over Tuesday even more!

When David said the word " Winnow" to Sue, Kendra and Aiden, they didn't believe him that it was a real word... so he dove into Merriam-Webster to find it!
This morning David introduced us to a new word... and it had the entire studio laughing out loud.
Why is it every time we try to go food shopping quickly, it seems as though EVERYONE is moving at a snails pace?? And ALWAYS on our same walking route?!!

Kendra talked with New Kids on the Block member Jonathan Knight about their new album STILL KIDS (being released on May 17th) and the upcoming summer tour at the Xfinity Center on August 10th!
In another round of the Morning MAGIC Draft - David, Sue and Kendra draft their team version of the BEST BOARD GAMES.
Yesterday was New Kids on the Block Day... so the plan was for Kendra to give away 5 pairs of tickets to listeners at the Northshore Mall.. and all was happy and fun until the mall managers told her to leave.
We all enjoyed watching the Bruins and Celtics playoff games last night (being that they were on at the same time). But Aiden enjoyed it the most: After multiple Mai Tai's and then some Whiskey... he's got his leftover Chinese food today.
April 24th is the 35th anniversary of NKOTB Day and Kendra is celebrating by giving David and Sue a quiz on fun things that happened BACK IN 1989. Kendra will also be looking for the biggest NKOTB Blockheads at Northshore Mall today from 11am-12pm and giving them a chance to win free tickets to NKOTB's Magic Summer Tour!
Sue is having hot flashes. Do you have them? How do you sleep? Sue is a window cracked, fan on, one leg out of the covers kind of girl these days. Listeners called in with hot flash remedies!
CONVINCE ME: Playoff Edition.... Sue gives the topics and it's Kendra VS David in a debate playoff-related scenarios and Aiden decides who has the more convincing argument.
Since the playoffs are in full swing: Kendra has David, Sue and Aiden try and figure out- based on certain behavior, "Am I a Celtics fan or a Bruins fan?"
Restaurant do's and don'ts - Sue give us a quiz on "acceptable" or "unacceptable" restaurant behavior? And is it okay to have kids at high-end restaurants?
Since we discovered that Aiden has been stealing chicken nuggets from his girlfriends roommate, we are going to have him come clean and issue an APOLOGY to Bernadette on the air!
One of our MAGIC Listener, Bernadette, called in and recommended that Sue donate her paper bags to a local food bank (like St. Matthews Food Pantry in Dorchester)!
It's Earth Day and we have been teasing Sue for using paper bags at the grocery store instead of reusable bags.... None of us believe Sue carries her own bags, LOL!
It's the time of year when you can smell what everyone is cooking.. .so we wondered what is your "go-to" secret sauce? Ketchup? BBQ Sauce? Italian Dressing?
We put our Special Guest to work! 13 yr old Tommy Leonhardt gives the traffic report... and he did amazing!
Every Friday we welcome a new Special Guest and today we have Tommy, Keith and Julie Leonhardt in the studio! Tommy is a 13yr old who loves radio and co-hosts his own show: MTRS on 91.7FM. Keith is an Airport Operations Manager and volunteer at the Aero Club of New England.
Yesterday David, Sue and Aiden went to the Red Sox game -- and David drove.... Turns out, David is not just a fast driver. He is the master of maneuvering into on street parking, at the speed of light.
We introduce the Morning Magic DRAFT - David, Sue and Kendra pick the 3 celebrities they would "team up" to bring to a Red Sox game for the best experience ever! We are going to a Red Sox game today so it seemed fitting!
Sue has started the process of restoring her daughter Katie's "Bunny" stuffed animal... The stuffing has been removed, and Bunny has been soaking in hot water/baking soda/bleach. A new outfit has been purchased and we will stay tuned for the final result.
When you use a drinking straw, you purse your lips, right? Well if you do that all the time, it may cause wrinkles to form around your mouth (like a cigarette smoker)... so someone invented THIS.
David had a panic attack during an MRI and had to get out. So we wondered if most people panic in the "tube" or just embrace the quiet?
Let's put it to a TEXT TEST. David wrote three sentences. Sue and Aiden will text Kendra that same message in their own way. Sue will talk it, Aiden will type it, and we'll see whose message arrives first.
When it comes to sending a text message... Do you TALK TO TEXT (like Sue and Kendra) or Do you type it out with your thumbs (like Aiden and David)?
Kendra is bothered by the fact that Lobster (and only ever Lobster) gets "MKT" on every menu... Is there no other food that is hard to find?? Why is Lobster so special??
MAGIC Listener Sandy called in to try and walk Sue through restoring "Bunny" herself! HAHA!
Do your adult kids still sleep with their stuffed animals from when they were a kid? And if so, what do they look like now? We need advice on restoring stuffed animals. Sue's daughter has bun-bun (Bunny) and she is in dire need of a make-over.
Hard to believe but Sue and Kendra have never been to Sullivan's on Castle Island... If you live in Boston, you know that it's the official sign of spring and good times when they open.
Hearing from more of our MAGIC listeners this morning on Marathon Monday: David and Cathy have been volunteering at the Boston Marathon since 2014. They are right near the finish line, ensuring all the runners safety!
David, Sue and Kendra try to determine what WE can do in 26.2. (Much easier than running a Boston Marathon) David does 26.2 pushups, Sue names 26 states and Kendra eats 26.2 CHEEZ-ITs with no water.
One of our MAGIC listeners Mike Palmer called in on his way to Hopkinton. He and his running partner Liz are running for the Doug Flutie Foundation. We talked with them about nerves, what they had for breakfast and their training!
Today is Marathon Monday, and we are so excited to celebrate all the runners participating in the 128th Boston Marathon today.
We talked to WCVB reporter Emily Maher who is running this year to raise money forThe Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston, an organization that provides a safe and supportive environment for young people to learn and grow.
Listener Diane definitely wins the award. She had 10....... 10 mice in her house!!!!!!!!!!
Tons of our listeners have been calling in to give us advice on how to catch the mouse in the studio.
Normally we have a special guest in the studio on Fridays... and today, there is a guest in the studio but it's not one that we want................ We have a mouse.
We’re talking with WCVB NewsCenter 5 Co-Anchor Maria Stephanos about Channel 5’s coverage of the 128th Boston Marathon and the primetime special "History, Heroes, and Heart: The 128th Boston Marathon” airing TONIGHT from 8-9pm.
In honor of National Sibling Day - we talked to Aiden's brother Dillon who literally hung him by his underpants on a bed post when they were kids.
What do you do that is considered an “older person” thing? Kendra buys Maple Walnut ice cream which David, Sue and Aiden all think is a throwback flavor.
After 6 months of wondering and smelling -- David finally discovered the route of the stinky smell in his car: it was not old food... but it was the old remnants of something that had been living in his glove compartment.
It's Red Sox Opening Day at Fenway - so of course we brought in a smokeless grill, some Fenway Franks and lots of ketchup (it's a New England thing)!
Aiden has never been to Fenway Park on Opening Day so we are trying to help guide him on: where to park, where to pre-game, what to eat, what to drink?
David, Sue and Aiden were all somewhere watching the moon passing over the sun.. except for Kendra who was food shopping.
Kendra is the only person in the building who is completely uninterested in the Solar Eclipse....
We talked with our former colleague, Paul Shulins about the Total Solar Eclipse today! Western Massachusetts will be closest to the path of totality that passes through northern Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. The maximum eclipse in Springfield will occur at 3:27pm. In Worcester, it will be at 3:28pm and Boston will see the eclipse peak at 3:29pm.
More with our special guests: former Boston Bruins player/Stanley Cup Champion Zdeno Chara and World Marathon Champ Becca Pizzi. They are both running in the Boston Marathon for Team Hoyt!
Every Friday we welcome a Special Guest into the studio and today we have two special guests: former Boston Bruins player/Stanley Cup Champion Zdeno Chara and World Marathon Champ Becca Pizzi. They are both running for Team Hoyt in the 2024 Boston Marathon!
Well established on this show: we love food and we love snacks. Drakes Cakes dropped off boxes of their new Boston Creme flavor.... and wow. Aiden has eaten an entire box already and it's only 7am.
You know that panicked feeling when you get to work and realize you forgot to the put the trash out? That's Sue Tabb today. She's been trying to call Tom all morning but it looks like trash on Blueberry Lane will be piling up!
What's the deal with overly scented trash bags? We just can't do it. Doesn't the smell of lavender mixed with your rotting garbage make you nauseous?!!
Kendra is defending her Canada Goose jacket... with total "Girl Math" and the "We live in New England" rationalization.
Some things just aren’t worth the money… but some things are. David, Sue and Aiden are making fun of Kendra because she always finds a way to rationalize her spending.
We all have a preference on the speed of our wiper blades: David, Sue and Kendra all like the intermittent setting but Aiden does the fast setting on the first sight of rain!!
What are some things that you just can't UNsubscribe from? Apps, streaming services, etc. Sue has been paying for an intermittent fasting service that she has NEVER used!!
Sue's flight got delayed 7 hours but that didn't stop her from taking advantage of the plethora of Cosmos being offered at the fine dining in the Orlando airport terminal.
We talked with Alex Stickels, one of the performers for Ringling Bros, about “The Greatest Show on Earth” returning to Boston for the first time in 8 yrs! Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® The Greatest Show On Earth at the Agganis Arena at Boston University March 28-April 7th,followed by performances at the DCU Center in Worcester from April 12–April 14.
Join us for a truly heartwarming and inspirational evening filled with joy, laughter, and of course CAKE! The 3rd Annual LIGHT A CANDLE GALA to benefit One Wish Project is June 6th at the Andover Country Club
Have you ever tried shopping at a different supermarket? You don't know where anything is... David had to shop at a different grocery store and he couldn't find anything!
Kendra LOVES them. David HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATES them. What about you? Are you a fan of the salad bar anywhere??
Unwritten rules of the road: David, Kendra and Aiden all know that what a zipper merge means: YOU GO, then I GO... Take turns!!! But apparently other drivers don't know how to follow the rules!
This is why David never brings food in his car. Because the one time he did (peanut butter open faced toast).... his water bottle rolled over on top of while he was driving, and let's just say the smell of PB stays for a loooooooooong time.
Which celebrity's wardrobe would you want to have? For David it's Daniel Craig, for Kendra it's between Cameron Diaz and Jane Fonda.
Back in the day, people knocked on your door and you answered it, no problem! NOT ANYMORE... David and Kendra talked about how we all seem to run and hide when someone knocks on the door!
Sue is going on vacation for 3 days and can't pack lightly - she brings EVERYTHING and buys all kinds of new things to bring as well. Cue the steamer trunk!
How many times do you go back into the house before actually leaving to go somewhere. For Sue and Kendra - 3 or 4 times minimum!
David showed up at his wife's work yesterday - just to say hi - with a candy bar- buuuuut he walked right into a big staff meeting!
We talked BIDETS with Peter Souhleris, Co-Owner of City Light Homes and former star of Flipping Boston, which aired for 4 seasons (2012-2015) on A&E. Peter is a real estate expert and he knows a thing or two about trendy bathroom fixtures...
Bidets - they're apparently all the rage when it comes to new bathroom trends. Have you used one, would you get one? Warm or Cold Water? Jet Stream or Hand Spray? We discussed the different options!
Someone's pants are on fire... Sue said she would never ever ever ever ever get a pair of Crocs. She totally lied to us. She bought a pair of the Crocs flip flops for her trip to Florida and we are teasing her this morning....
When you go on vacation, what are your eating habits? Do you try to eat healthy and "be good" or do you go all out at the buffet?
David is back from his vacation in Costa Rica! He saw Sloths and even Monkeys on the beach, went ziplining and even got a jellyfish sting!
With the Mega Millions and Powerball Jackpots rising to "silly money" levels, Sue and Kendra talked with Mark William Bracken, Executive Director of the Mass State Lottery. The Mass State Lottery is launching the nation’s first JAWS instant ticket, with instant grand prizes of $1 million and Second Chance Drawings, where 30 winners will win JAWS inspired trip for two to Martha’s Vineyard in the summer of 2025.
We have a SUPER SPECIAL GUEST FRIDAY today. Sue brought her dog, Gracie, (An Australian Labradoodle) in the studio... and literally every person in the building has stopped by to see her!
Aiden thinks its hilarious that both Sue and Kendra TALK TO TEXT every day - and they constantly use "dot dot dot" as a way to separate their sentences!
The calls continue to come in - and apparently EVERYONE has a Bread Drawer or had one growing up!
We stumbled on the fact that Sue has a BREAD DRAWER. Kendra and Aiden don't think it's a real thing -- and that it's more of a "Sue Tabb Thing!"
Sue and Aiden are convinced that Kendra is wearing old lady socks today... Kendra claims they are compression socks to help with her ankle swelling (which basically proves their point, LOL).
Kendra has now reached the point in her life where getting a new appliance (a new washing machine) is exciting!
We have had so many calls this morning in regards to the style issues that Sue and Kendra are having when they shop: Listener Ellen was a first time called and then listener Karen called from Bloomingdales with some advice!
Listener Michelle called in and agreed that there is no middle of the road fashion for women... its like The Hunger Games!
Tons of calls from our amazing listeners on where to shop and how Sue and Kendra can find clothes that fit their style and ages!
Sue went shopping for her Florida trip and realized that the only options for clothes are either a skimpy crop top or a smock style -- there is nothing in between that is both trendy and age appropriate.
What kind of WALK do you have? Sue has the "I want to speak to your manager" walk. Kendra has the "I'm on fire and need to use the bathroom" walk and Aiden has the "athlete slow swagger."
Who would you call if you were in a situation in the middle of the night? Do you have a short list? The person who would answer and jump into action, no questions asked?? We all have those friends!!
If you're looking to have some laughs this weekend, Kendra is emceeing a comedy night on Saturday at Teresa's in Middleton, all to benefit the students at Masconomet. There will be a delicious dinner, amazing silent auction items, raffles and of course some great stand up!
Kendra is not happy about Targets new rule that limits Self-Checkout to 10 Items Only... Sue and Aiden love the idea!
We asked and our listeners answered with passion! The best remedies for a hangover cure were tea with honey, a gel pack and most importantly-- HAIR OF THE DOG: Drink one drink of whatever you had last night.
Yesterday was St. Patrick's Day and let's just say Aiden partied hard for the entire weekend, so today is a bit of a struggle...
How could we prepare for St. Patrick's Day without talking to the Queen of Southie herself... Sue's daughter, Katie O'Rourke?!! Let's just say the festivities begin today.
Every Friday we welcome a Special Guest and today we were so excited to welcome Joanie Gallagher and Michael Ralbovsky from Rainforest Reptiles Shows! And yes... we held a Python, a Tortoise, a Crocodile and an Alligator.
After Sue and Kendra shared that they unzip and rearrange their clothes while driving... our listeners called in with HILARIOUS tricks -- like when your bangs are poking you in the eye, so you find a box cutter in your middle console and cut them!!??? (yes, that was a true story)
This will shock NO ONE: Sue and Kendra revealed that have little tricks for adjusting their outfit while sitting the car, driving... One of them is putting your seatbelt under your shirt (so it doesn't wrinkle!) And clearly our MAGIC listeners agreed!!
This week, Sue co-hosted the Carrigan and Company podcast alongside Kim Carrigan and it's an episode you don't want to miss!
It's official... Kendra signed up to be a Dog Walker and she is very excited. Plus we had a ton of calls from our listeners who are dog walkers and LOVE IT!
David and Sue talked more with Delilah about our upcoming event, An Evening With Delilah, at the Revere Hotel in Boston on April 10th -- and about all the callers she has experienced!
David and Sue talked with Delilah, our night time nationally syndicated host, about our upcoming event, An Evening With Delilah, at the Revere Hotel in Boston on April 10th!
If Sue, Kendra and Aiden had to pick.. it's very clear that THURSDAY would be their favorite day of the week... "Thirsty Thursday" ... "Little Friday" ... Basically it's the anticipation of what the weekend can bring!
Holy phone calls batman! The MAGIC listeners have called all morning to weigh in on whether there SHOULD or SHOULDN'T be cameras inside an Airbnb rental. Team Sue/Aiden or Team Kendra?
Kendra is taking a strong stance on wanting cameras inside an Airbnb, but Sue and Aiden think she is out of her mind!
Someone in Quincy won $1 million in the Mega Millions---- so yet another day and none of us are millionaires..
Starting at the end of April, Airbnb will no longer allow hosts to have security cameras inside their rental properties. Kendra thinks the owners should be allowed to have cameras inside the common areas for safety and security. David, Sue & Aiden think no indoor cameras should be allowed.
David is T minus 12 hours from setting off on a beautiful, warm vacation... so Sue and Kendra decided to remind him of all the funny chaotic things that can go wrong on the way to the airport.
Sue almost didn't make it into work this morning... She got stuck inside her very large, very spacious, very fancy.... garage. David and Kendra cannot stop laughing about it.....
The clock change twice a year has been a bone of contention for Kendra FOR YEARS! Why are we still torturing ourselves with the clocks??!! Stop changing the clocks and let's stay with Daylight Saving Time (Spring Forward Forever)!
David is going on vacation, overseas in 2 days and hasn't packed a thing. But then we started talking about the ways we pack our luggage and the absolute need for a luggage scale, especially if your name is Sue Tabb.
Of course when you have a iconic former Boston News Anchor like Kim Carrigan in studio, you have to play a game called "You Know You're A News Anchor When____."
Fun fact about our Special Guest Kim Carrigan... she was college classmates with Sheryl Crow and Brad Pitt. Better yet, Brad Pitt was her escort to a class event!!
Every Friday we welcome a Special Guest and today we were so excited to welcome Boston media personality Kim Carrigan in the studio. Kim is best known for working as a news anchor for 7News, WBZ, and Fox. In January she launched a new weekly podcast called Carrigan and Company and we are thrilled to talk with her about it.
Sue and Kendra are on a mission to get Aiden up in David's plane but Aiden is a little nervous....
One of our MAGIC listeners called in to give Kendra some tips for wanting to be a Dog Walker.
If you listen to this show, you know that Kendra is always looking for a side hustle... and this time she wants to be a Dog Walker. But it could work: She was a longtime dog owner, she loves to exercise and loves making money!!!
Do you prep your meals-- or at least do you plan out dinner during the week? David always does - Sue does SOMETIMES - and Kendra... well, do we even need to explain...
How often do you go out to dinner during the week? David and Sue go out to dinner (with their spouses) AT LEAST 2 times per week....
After hearing about Sue's dressing room debacle, one of our MAGIC listeners called in with the discovery of "Swimdresses!"
Sue is going to Florida in a few weeks so she went to try on some bathing suits.... and it didn't go very well.
Kendra isn't alone. The MAGIC listeners called in to say they LOVE getting free plants on their towns BUY NOTHING pages!
We started talking about thrifting and knowing that we have the Queen of Secondhand, Kendra, in the room, this was no surprise: Aiden brought in a bag of gently worn clothes and Kendra happily took them all.
Is there something peculiar going on with Oreos? Sue brought in a package of Oreos and when you twist it open, it looks like there is less cream than before. Also we decided that they are a little thinner and the cream diameter is tiny too. Can you tell we love our cookies?!
According to Aiden and Kendra... Bruce Wayne AKA Batman is NOT a Superhero. He's just a rich man with a fancy utility belt.
Aiden created TIERS of superheroes which got David, Sue and Kendra debating each hero's abilities and worth. Let's just say there were some disagreements on who belongs in what Tier!
Aiden is 23yrs old -- however, he seems to have a lot in common with 10 year olds... So we quizzed him on everything a 10 year old would LIKE and DO.
What do you like to do ALONE? Turns out our listeners like to do a LOT of things by themselves: movies, dinner, parties, cleaning, working out.
David went to DC over the weekend and noticed that the way we walk, drive and deal with traffic in Boston is VERY DIFFERENT from everywhere else. Here in Boston, we don't follow the rules...
David did it! Sue and Kendra know how much he hates fast food, so they laid down a challenge for him: He had to eat an ENTIRE KFC CHIZZA live on the air, and we raised over $1,000 for his charity AFSP.
When Aiden showed us his barbershop website (BANTER in Newburyport), Sue got jealous because they sell clothes AND WHISKEY!!!
Aiden got a haircut yesterday and it looks great, but the best part of the story is that he went into his barber and said, "Do whatever you want!"
NESN's Tom Caron called in as we remember the life and the legacy left behind by Red Sox Hall of Fame pitcher Tim Wakefield and his wife Stacy, both of whom passed away within 5 months of each other.
Happy Birthday to our listener Katie Paikin from Newburyport! It's her sweet 16th... (well, in leap year birthdays).
How often do you clean, wash or even detail your car? Whatever your answer is, it's not as much as David O'Leary.
David's getting his car detailed, Aiden hit 13 green lights, Kendra's getting a massage and Sue's computer was magically fixed by David-- we are off to a lucky start!
Major League Baseball has some new uniforms... and if you haven't seen them, well, they don't leave much to the imagination. Duke Castiglione, the lead sports anchor for WCVB, called in to discuss -- why on earth this design was chosen....
Speaking of falling asleep in public places.. Aiden once fell asleep on a plane, and then no one woke him up as the plane de-boarded!!
Can you fall asleep anywhere, at anytime, even in public?? Our listeners shared some of the strangest places they have fallen asleep in public.
Do you ever go about your day and think “why hasn’t this thing gotten a better design or function by now? People on social media are talking about the minor (but frustrating) everyday struggles that should've been solved by now. Sue --- has always had a beef with the toilet design...
"Hold me closer TONY DANZA...."
"Take your pants off, and make it happen...."
"Wake me up and pour me COCO..."
David heats up his coffee cup with hot water for 2 minutes before pouring the coffee into the cup.... so it stays warmer longer. Is he the only one on this island??
David is NOT a fan of fast food. But after being challenged by Sue and Kendra, he's taking on a #CHIZZAChallenge — for charity! Between now and THIS FRIDAY March 1st, for every $1,000 we raise for AFSP, David will eat an entire CHIZZA during the show.
It’s called “Chizza”(cheet-za) and it’s a fried chicken/pizza mash-up. It is not fried chicken on a pizza. It's pizza on fried chicken. So, the fried chicken filets are the "crust" with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, and pepperoni on top.
Kendra's daughter had a volleyball tournament over the weekend and it was the first time that Kendra was introduced to a world unknown: The world of dedicated sports parents.
We continued our pizza loving Friday with Union Park Pizza owners Maggie and Joe Sylva!
Every Friday we welcome a Special Guest and today we are thrilled to have Maggie and Joe Sylva, co-owners of UNION PARK PIZZA! It's no secret that we are true pizza lovers on this show!
If you have AT&T... there was a massive outage yesterday, and some people went all day without any access to cell phone service! One of our listeners, Deborah, called in to tell us about her experience!
David, Sue and Kendra quizzed their spouses--- How well do they know us??? Let's see how Kathy, Tom and Steven did....
Would you know your spouses shoe size, their drink order and what store would be THE ONE to go to for their favorite outfit?
Kendra has to take a pair of shoes to the cobbler today -- and it got us thinking about other trades like tailors, elevator operators, dry cleaners and blacksmiths-- which seem to be a throwback profession.
Sue can't believe that David and Kendra put a lot of thought into grouping their groceries on the conveyor belt....
When you're in the checkout line and you're putting the groceries on the belt, why do the people behind you move in so close that there is no space?? Kendra wants everyone to back off and let her have "her time in the aisle!"
Aiden made a spinach and feta calzone for lunch today .. but forgot it at home, so now we are compiling all the work snacks we can find for him: stale oatmeal, whip cream, some goldfish crackers and marshmallows.
Most people love the springtime. It means more sunshine, warmer weather and being outside. But for Sue, it's just a waste of a season and never lives up to the hype.
David VS Kendra in a fun, new trivia game (involving some math) that Aiden created to test our rapid fire knowledge of celebrities, pop culture, jingles and more.
Sue did an Escape Room over the weekend, and well, things didn't go that successfully... because they never quite escaped.
We discovered that our Special Guest Jeremiah Poope (who is a tour guide for The Freedom Trail) gave a special tour to the Red Hot Chili Peppers and as a thank you, they had him backstage at a show!
Every Friday we welcome a new Special Guest and today we have Jeremiah Poope, one of the most well known tour guides for The Freedom Trail!
David gave Sue and Kendra a little test on The Freedom Trail, and it was absolutely everything you expected from Kendra.
As we were talking about babysitters and babysitting.. Sue's friend Jeanne Coffey called in to share how awesome Sue's daughter Emma was at babysitting her daughters Lila and Phoebe!
Babysitters seem to be making pretty good money today... not like when we did it! All of us on Morning MAGIC were in middle school babysitting multiple kids, cooking, cleaning- and making (max) $10 for the whole night!
Apparently 320 new words were added to the dictionary and one of them has a funny ring to it. Kendra thinks her definition of "Boobne" is better than the real one...
Instead of Dear Abby, we have Dear Aiden... We had our 23 yr old colleague give out relationship advice on Valentines Day!
Well, we didn't exactly get the snowstorm we thought ........ so we went right to the expert, WCVB Chief Meteorologist Cindy Fitzgibbon to see what happened!
Our production director Joe Cortese's wife Mary was at The Big Game over the weekend. We woke her up in Vegas to talk to us about EVERYTHING! She was in the CBS suite, literally feet away from Taylor Swift, had breakfast with Billy Bush and saw Bruno Mars on Friday night.
What did you think of Usher's halftime show? What was your favorite commercial? David really liked the Dunks ad with Ben and Matt, Sue not so much.....
Now that we covered the Taylor Swift part of the Big Game... we asked Wiggy about the proper ways to eat the 7 layer dip and he was VERY VERY specific on the utensils and form when dipping.
We talked more with our Special Guests Lauren and Charlette from the Plymouth County Loss Team... and we discovered that one of them is a true blue Swiftie!!
Every Friday we bring in a new Special Guest... and today we have Lauren Folloni and Charlette Fenstermaker from Plymouth County LOSS. We are thrilled to talk with them about the work they are doing to help local police departments and families of those impacted by suicide.
We had our colleague, former Pats player and Super Bowl Champ, Jermaine Wiggins ("Wiggy") in studio to talk about all things football, including how to properly watch the game and of course, Taylor Swift.
We’re talking with the Boston Chef, founder of AC Kitchen and best known for the TB12 Nutrition Manual with Tom Brady, about the healthy snacks we can make while watching the BIG GAME!
Since its National Proposal Day and Valentines Day is next week --- we wanted to hear your proposal stories. The good, the bad and even the embarrassing.
David and Kendra talked with relationship expert, Dr. Monica O'Neal, about the etiquette for needing/wanting time to yourself in a relationship.
We had so much fun talking with Annie cast members Jeffrey T. Kelly (Rooster Hannigan) and Samantha Stevens (Lily St. Regis)! Annie The Musical is playing at the Boch Center Wang Theatre now through Feb 11th!
David's cats Linus and Lucy peed in his wife's workbag -- and in her crossbody bag!! Sue and Kendra introduced David to The Urine Destroyer and maybe a few other remedies.
Kendra went into the city last night to see ANNIE at the Boch Center and she was so proud to find on street parking! Then Sue claimed to be the master of parallel parking and Aiden admitted that he has NEVER parallel parked in his life... sooooo it's driving time!
Since we were talking serving sizes... Why not go to the expert? Master Certified Health Education Specialist Ann Doyle was on the show to tell us what to look for and maybe convince Sue and Kendra to make better decisions, HAHA!
We started talking about food serving sizes but then David mentioned that he and his wife always have leftover rice when they make the Near East Rice Pilaf... which made Sue and Kendra laugh out loud. They eat the entire box in a sitting.
We saw a story about couples who share their finances and then Venmo each other?? What? This is new to us....
We called our midday host Jen Toohey to ask her about the "sharing of the money" in her house... she laughed out loud at us. But her family members do it-- and love it.
When you get into bed, if your spouse is already in bed... Do you give them the passive aggressive nudge to move over? -- Without hesitation, Sue and Kendra said YES!
The MAGIC listeners called in to say they also take a peek at text messages when they pop up on someone else phone.
We started the segment asking if your phone settings show your entire text or just say "iMessage" Then David and Kendra admitted that they lock their messages because they snoop on other peoples texts when they pop up.
Kendra thought her laptop camera was broken for 6 months... until she brought it in and had the IT department look at it.... Turns out, she had the laptop camera lock turned into the "OFF" position the whole time.
Former New England Patriot and three-time Super Bowl Champion Matt Light called into Morning MAGIC to talk about his 11th annual Fools’ Night Out comedy show at Memoire at Encore Boston Harbor – and we asked him about the upcoming BIG GAME in Vegas!
Kendra has made it very clear: she does NOT like the cold or the winter season. David and Aiden try to convince her that New England seasons are the best but she's not buying it... Kendra wants to be in sunny and 80 degree weather every day.
Move over Phil... We are doing our own version of Groundhog Day: Aiden's dad... is Punks-Awwwwtawwny Paul. Here on Morning MAGIC, we are going to show you how it should be done, the Boston way.
Seriously what is the deal with people who see you coming on the road, driving the right speed and then they feel the need to pull out in front of you and go 5 mph the entire way to work!!!!!
Usually Kendra is the wrinkled, crinkled mess in the morning but today the outfit roles have reversed: David forgot to iron his shirt and it's driving him crazy!
David and Kendra talked with Linda Norton, owner of MANE Hair Salon in Framingham, about the proper etiquette when a client leaves -- or better yet -- when a stylist wants to leave a client!
When you find a good hairstylist, you STAY WITH THEM. But what happens when you want a change? Could you or would you leave?
The MAGIC listeners had some awesome stories about intervening with other people's kids....
David had a situation over the weekend at a hotel, with kids running up and down the hallways in the middle of the night, loud.... WOULD YOU/COULD YOU discipline someone else's child?
David went skiing with his family last week and while on the ski lift, his wallet fell out of his pocket and fell about 60 feet below. HOWEVER.... his brothers (who are CLEARLY ski masters) FOUND IT!
One of our listeners called in and said that having the same first and last name could also be a superpower...
In addition to her superpower of knowing all the state capitals... Sue Tabb is also the master of getting what she wants on the phone. Don't mess with Mama Bear!!
We all have useless superpowers: For Kendra it's knowing years movies were made and the ages of all the actors in them; For Sue it's being able name the state capitals; and For Aiden its the Claw Machine.. he wins every time!
Sue and Aiden were stunned when two callers called in and said they do the same thing that Kendra does... with their toothbrushes: they wait until the dentist gives them a new one!!
The MAGIC Listeners called in to give toothbrush advice to Kendra... is it weird/gross that she only changes out her toothbrush when the dentist gives her a new one??
Sue and Aiden discovered this morning that Kendra only changes her toothbrush every 6 months, when she gets a FREE ONE from the dentist.....
Sue and Kendra got a hold of Aiden; he's been home sick with a fever for 2 days. They checked in on him and asked him the important things like: what is he eating and what is he binge watching?!
More calls from our listeners on what they do when they are home sick... Matlock, Barnaby Jones and Colombo anyone??
Loved hearing from our listeners as they shared their favorite sick day memories: like when your parents would "roll the TV into your room!"
Aiden has been out sick for two days, so Sue and Kendra started thinking about their favorite memories as kids when you were home sick from school. Dry Toast, Grilled Cheese...Flat Ginger Ale, The Price is Right and if you're Kendra, a Crabmeat Sandwich??
Sue and Kendra came in this morning and the studio looked a little different so it got them thinking about anyone who works and overnight shift. Is it hamburgers and pizza all night?
Sue and Kendra are doing Wall Pilates; it's their newest obsession. They asked our listeners if they are doing it and does it really work... then they tried it out in the studio!
One of our MAGIC Listeners called in to answer Sue's question about the kids show that talked to "Luna the moon" -- it was The Bear In The Big Blue House!"
Sue called Kendra during their drive in this morning to tell her about the Moon... and for almost the entire ride down Storrow Drive, she couldn't get over how big the Moon was....
Kendra admitted that she has NEVER been to the outlets--- Kittery or Wrentham. So it got us thinking about other popular stores that people haven't been to. And we discovered one woman that has NEVER been inside a TJ Maxx or Marshalls... We need to track her down!
No one loves FREE MERCH more than Aiden .... so Sue and Kendra sent him to stand outside Target and see what other people would be willing to do for free merch, like a MAGIC PEN.
This morning a truck... an 18 wheeler got stuck at the Hatch Shell on Storrow Dr (WB) so for anyone coming INTO the city... we were stuck in horrible traffic while they deflated the tires to try and back the truck out... WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?!!
Sue, Kendra and Aiden had a rough start this Monday morning... Sue and Kendra got stuck behind a Storrowed 18 Wheeler and Aiden fell down an icy hill leaving his apartment.
When you approach a door.... is your instinct to PUSH IT or PULL IT? And what do you do when you hold the door for someone and they don't say THANK YOU?!
Our Special Guest, Antonio Cicolini also shared his journey through cancer; he was diagnosed with Stage 3 Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma back in 2005. He read an emotional letter that he wrote for himself once he knew he was cancer free.
We are loving asking all the Firefighter questions to our Special Guest Antonio Cicolini!
Every Friday we bring in a new Special Guest... and today we have Antonio Cicolini from Tewksbury. He was a Aviation Electrician in the Navy and currently serves as a Lt in the Somerville Fire Department.
When it comes to SELF CHECK OUT: David likes it under 12 items, Kendra is all about it and Sue would prefer to have someone serve her items to her in a golden bag.
What's in your garage? If you are Sue... then you mostly likely have a car or two, room for a kayak and an entire living quarters above. If you are David or Kendra... you have everything EXCEPT a car in your garage.
What are some unwritten office rules? Could one of them be "Please don't ever share what goes on in the bathroom with your coworkers?" We reminisced about the time Sue asked David to explain what goes on in the men's room.
What do you do when the ON AIR button gets stuck and you have a few seconds of dead air? Make sure Kendra's in the room, so she can do the "high step run" that had Aiden and Sue hysterically laughing....
This morning we were a little surprised by the snow and Sue was running late so she texted David and Kendra... although she texted the wrong David at 5am.
David, Sue and Kendra talked with our colleague Christian Fauria (also a 3 time Super Bowl Champ with the Pats) about the news of Bill Belichick leaving!
Our Special Guest Seyyide Sultan brought in hip scarves and today she taught David and Sue how to belly dance LIVE ON THE AIR!
David, Sue and Kendra have a lot of dancing questions for our Special Guest Seyyide Sultan.... she brought hip scarves for them to try belly dancing later in the show!
Every Friday on Morning MAGIC, we bring in a new Special Guest... and today we have Seyyide Sultanshe is a dance teacher from Arlington and we are going to be BELLY DANCING with her!
We loved having Sarah Wade, Chef/Owner of Stillwater Restaurant- and one of Food Network's Chopped Champions -- in the studio with us. She brought us amazing food and told us about her new place, Sloane's!
Got milk? Which kind.... oat, coconut, goat or maybe good ol' fashioned whole? David, Sue and Kendra did a blind taste test live on the air - some with chocolate syrup!
David is doing dry January and Sue........ (like she always does) is trying to do "damp" January. All of us on this show know that she will never last.
David, Sue, Kendra and Aiden are doing a blind milk taste test today (in honor of milk day) but Kendra seems to think there is a 5% milk.....
David, Sue and Kendra talked with Framingham Fire Chief Mike Dutcher about the importance of having CO2 Detectors in your house and he had some great tips for safety!
David is the master of random phrases and expressions. He gave us two new ones today: "Whistling past the graveyard" and "let your smile be an umbrella" -- Sue, Kendra and Aiden had puzzled looks. Have you ever heard of these expressions?
Kendra still has her Christmas tree outside in her driveway. She has convinced herself that there is an abundance of farmers and builders who will take and use the wood...
Sue is (without a doubt) the keeper and the thrower-awayer of all questionable smelly things in the office fridge.
What is the obsession with the 40 ounce GIGANTIC Stanley Tumbler Cups? None of us walked around with giant water bottles in school... so what is the deal with this trend??
Intern Aiden is back from his holiday travels... from Seattle to Portland to Boise, Idaho! We have always wondered what people do in Boise, Idaho....
David just put his Christmas tree away but still has the bins everywhere, Sue has her Christmas stuff away and cleaned out one closet... but Kendra not only got her Christmas stuff put away but she cleaned out her entire house: donated or sold all the clutter!
Its the Friday before Christmas and the silly dust is CLEARLY in the air. David and Sue think Kendra has been slap happy all morning .... and they are not wrong.
We loved talking with Karen Blake, the host of our afternoon drive, about her Christmas prep. She hosts Christmas Eve and is planning to go food shopping on SATURDAY!!!!
The MAGIC listeners called in to tell us whether they are hosting or guesting.... and if anyone is REALLY ready for Christmas!
There are two kinds of people at the holidays: Those who always HOST, and those who always GUEST. David and Kendra are fabulous guests... and I think we all know who the HOSTESS WITH THE MOSTESS is............
Even our midday host Jen Toohey is in the holiday panic... She called in and talked with David, Sue and Kendra about everything she still needs to do before Christmas. P.S. She is hosting BOTH Christmas and Christmas Eve!!!
Santa Claus is back in the Morning MAGIC studio for just one more day!! This is your chance to let him know what is on your wish list this year!!!
Have your packages all arrived and are you all wrapped?? What is your back up plan if they don't get delivered in time?
Jon Taffer is in Boston to talk about Taffer’s Browned Butter Bourbon - which is available throughout Massachusetts and of course the season 9 of BAR RESCUE premiering Sunday February 26 at 9pm on Paramount+
Santa is back in the Morning MAGIC studio... and with less than a week until Christmas, this is your chance to talk to the big guy and tell him what you want!
Secret Santa is fun.... but what happens when you get a gift that isn't quite the right fit... The MAGIC listeners called in to share!
Everyone is always so stressed out during the holiday season... so we wondered how do you relax BEFORE Christmas?? A mani/pedi? Massage?
We always love talking with DAVIOS owner Steve DiFillippo, especially when he comes in studio and brings us food!! He stopped by to tell us about the Christmas Eve and New Years Eve events happening at the Seaport location.
FOR MORE INFO: Davios.com/Seaport

December 12th, from 6-9pm, Buttermilk & Bourbon Watertown will partner with Rabbit Hole Distillery and turn the restaurant into an immersive soiree themed around Alice in Wonderland.
What do you get for those little holiday add-on gifts? Do you do scratch tickets? Gift Cards? Maybe even a bottle wine or a Yankee Candle?
What a wonderful surprise to have 3 additional members of Voices of Hope join us in studio to perform a holiday medley of songs: Eliza Healey, Ed Siegal, Diane Earley and Greg Chastain.
We are enjoying the time with our Special Guest Greg Chastain, Founder and President of Voices of Hope!

Greg started Voices of Hope in 2009 after losing his mom to pancreatic cancer. To date, Voices of Hope has donated a million dollars to cancer research at the Mass General Cancer Center.
Do you put cheese on a tuna sandwich? There are some very passionate opinions on this: For Kendra and David it's a no-brainer, YES.... always put a slice of cheese on a tuna sandwich. But for Sue, it's a hard NO. She says you NEVER EVER EVER EVER put cheese on a cold tuna sandwich.
If you've ever wondered who buys the Panettone bread every holiday season.... we figured it out. It's David's wife Kathy. She called in this morning to explain why she loves it so and tried to sell us on it....
Sue has an abundance of holiday candles... in fact, she usually has 3-6 candles going at the same time. So if you're ever in need of smelling some Balsam Fur- just head to Sue's house!

We always love having Keith Lockheart, Conductor of the Boston Pops, in studio with us to talk about The Holiday Pops! This year is a special one... it's the 50th Anniversary of the Boston Pops!
How do you "sit" on our couch? Sue and Kendra cannot get over the fact that David only sits upright on his couch (at a 90 degree angle) with his shoes on. He never sprawls out on the couch with a blanket!
Over the weekend David finally figured out what was stinking up his car... and it wasn't (what we all thought): an animal or food.....
Sue had minor surgery on her right middle and ring fingers -- but because she is very DOMINANTELY right-handed, David and Kendra are having some fun with her being out of commission!
The MAGIC listeners have been calling all morning with helpful tips for what could be stinking up David's car - and they shared what "the mysterious smell" was in their own cars!
David tried vacuuming and cleaning his car, but it didn't work. So today Sue and Kendra are going to do another smell investigation to try and locate the stinky smell.
David's car had a funky smell inside so we took a field trip outside and checked for ourselves. The verdict.... Sue believes its a case of rotten dairy.
Kendra and her family got their Christmas tree yesterday and it was everything you would expect: Everyone questioning the "even-ness of the tree" and whether it had "the good needles or not!"
Since Aiden is the youngest in the group... and probably not too familiar with the cost of things.. David, Sue and Kendra tested his price points!
As you holiday shop... how do you organize the gifts and who you buy for? The MAGIC listeners had AWESOME tips for us!
Have you ever heard of a Spatchcock Turkey? We were laughing hard with our midday colleague Jen Toohey- especially after she told us that she is TRYING SOMETHING NEW when it comes to cooking the Turkey!!
Rudolph, Frosty, The Grinch, Elf, Home Alone, Love Actually.... or maybe even DIE HARD?! We love our Holiday TV Specials, but we want to know the ones that you will always stop to watch - no matter how many times you've already seen them!
Aiden passed his Spanish quiz yesterday so Sue and Kendra decided to give him a Thanksgiving themed test ---- How well does he know these phrases, "En Espanol?"
We were all food shopping over the weekend but I think if we were giving out prizes... Sue gets the top spot for crazed holiday shopper....
Today is the day! Karen Blake called into Morning MAGIC to get David, Sue and Kendra ready for the flip to Christmas music TODAY AT 5PM.
We are having a blast with our Special Guest, Melrose Interim Superintendent John Macero!
Every Friday on Morning MAGIC, we bring in a new Special Guest... and today we welcome John Macero, the Interim School Superintendent for Melrose Public Schools!
The winning Feature Story SOUND BITES 2023 entry for MORNING MAGIC! In Iowa, at the Iowa State Fair there is a real contest called "The Husband Calling Competition"-- and it is everything you imagined it would be.
It looks like our silly antics are paying off... David, Sue and Kendra won FEATURE STORY at last nights Mass Broadcasters Sound Bites Awards. The segment that won was when we explained the hilarious Husband Calling Contest that takes place in Iowa!
David hasn't had a Big Mac or a Junior Bacon Cheeseburger in nearly 30 years so Sue and Kendra thought it would be AMAZING to make him taste test them LIVE ON THE AIR.
This weekend is really the last calm, normal and available one before the holiday hoopla begins! After Black Friday, it will basically be busy for all of us until Christmas!
Is Black Friday Shopping still a thing? It's ONE WEEK from tomorrow... Who are the people that plan out and organize their shopping at 2am???
The "Friends" inspired Central Perk Coffeehouse has opened at 205 Newbury Street, located between Exeter and Fairfield Street and we got to talk with the man who designed it... Glen Coben of Glen & Co Architecture.
Real Christmas Tree or an Artificial Christmas Tree? David is really trying to convince his wife Kathy to make the move to an artificial Christmas Tree this year... especially since Linus and Lucy (his cats) love to knock things over.
All week we thought Aiden just had a canker sore... and we've been telling him to rinse with salt water. Turns out, it's an impacted wisdom tooth.
Since everyone will be prepping for their traditional family Christmas cards... we thought we would ask an expert, photographer Jamie Schiloski, on the best ways to get a good family picture for your holiday cards!
We are switching it up this year and instead of buying gifts for each person, we are doing a Secret Santa instead! The names have been drawn, and now gifts will be purchased....
Kendra's daughter Emma made a club Volleyball team! It is her first team -- and the first time that Kendra has now been introduced to the world of club sports!
Everyone knows about the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving. Its when most college kids, or hometown friends get together (mostly to drink) at a dive bar in their town....Places like The Claddagh, Sylvan Street, Thirsty Whale and The Happy Swallow.
Tis the season... but have you started or better yet, have you FINISHED your holiday shopping???
What did YOU do yesterday? While we were all being lazy on a Sunday, David ran the BAA Half Marathon in 2 hours and 9 minutes!
Every Friday we welcome a special guest into the studio and this morning we were thrilled to have Barbara DiGirolamo; she's a Peabody native, avid marathon runner and the Injury Prevention Coordinator for Boston Children's Hospital.
Kendra took her daughter to Blue Man Group for the first time... Kendra had never been and being in the SPLASH ZONE, they got covered in paint, marshmallows, water and toilet paper! Super fun time.
What are you watching on Thanksgiving morning? The Macys Thanksgiving Day parade, NFL Gameday, High School Football Games?? Sue and Kendra are all about the parade... while David is out Turkey Trotting!
Sue is very sad that the National Zoo's Panda Program is ending after 50 years.. This means that the two adult pandas, Mei Xiang and Tian Tian, and their 3-year-old cub, Xiao Qi Ji left on a Fed Ex plane and headed back to China
Kendra is taking her daughter to see Blue Man Group and she didn't realize that being in the front row means you are in what's called "The Poncho Section" -- as in getting covered in EVERYTHING.
Former New England Patriot and 3 Time Super Bowl Champ Matt Light is talking with us today about his “Whiskey & War Stories” event on Dec 7th at the Stockyard in Brighton. The fundraiser, which will be co-hosted by The Light Foundation and Horse Soldier Bourbon, is one of several events leading up to the Army-Navy football game that will be played at Gillette the following weekend.
While we waited for a staff meeting at noon, Sue decided to go shopping at Marshalls... and it took her .5 seconds to fill the shopping cart to the top with things she did not need.
We talked with the Chief of the Division of Hematologic Malignancies and Co-Director of the Adult Stem Cell Transplantation Program at Dana Farber Cancer Institute about the process of being a donor and the impact you have on others lives.
Pretty amazing thing that our Intern Aiden is doing... He told us today that he is donating Bone Marrow! He was a match for a cancer patient diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. We are so proud of him!
We have all FAILED or FLUNKED at something....For David it was trying to SNORKEL. For Sue it was GUPPIES swimming. For Kendra it was Drivers Ed, and for Intern Aiden it was his DORM ROOM INSPECTION.
According to a recent poll, most people don't like it when someone reaches over to their plate and wants to eat their French Fries.... Then we discovered that Sue Tabb REALLY, REALLY doesn't like to share food.
When is it officially time to be in "Holiday Season" mode? Is it when you see the first Black Friday shopping commercial? Christmas music? The first snowfall?
Everyone is tired... Everyone is off ... and it's all because we are STILL changing the clocks. We all want to be done with this forever!!!
Since our Special Guest, Anthony, is a baker... we decided to have some fun and quiz him on the goods!
Our special guest Anthony, (who is an expert baker) had some baking tips for Sue and Kendra (who, we have established, are NOT experts in the kitchen)!
Every Friday we have a special guest in the studio and today we welcomed Worcester native Anthony Grossi, he's the co-owner of Lakon Paris Patisserie!
Did your child take up a new musical instrument this year? How is THAT going in your house?
The MAGIC listeners are on Sue's side... they too, feel like Thanksgiving gets overlooked on the way to Christmas!
Sue is bothered by the fact that everyone seems to look past Thanksgiving. It really does seem to go from Halloween straight to Christmas.
For Kendra... November 1st means time to go out and buy up all the Halloween decorations that are on sale 80% off.
Intern Aiden and his friends map out their best Trick or Treat route... they study which houses (judging by level of decor) who will hand out the best candy!
What's the weirdest thing you've ever borrowed from a neighbor? An egg, a ladder...some Vodka?? Kendra was in need of "two leaves of lettuce" so she asked her sister in law (also her neighbor) for some.
It's October 31st which means we dress up.... and this year David, Kendra and Intern Aiden collectively decided to terrify Sue by dressing up as CLOWNS.... ALL THREE OF THEM.
The work week is stressful for all of us... whether it's being stuck traffic, you got the wrong coffee order or something just isn't going right for you. This is YOUR chance to vent and commiserate with David, Sue and Kendra!
Since its all about Halloween candy this morning... we thought we would debunk some common Halloween-related myths.
Sugar, corn syrup, hydrogenated palm kernel oil, gelatin, apple juice from concentrate, modified corn starch... red 40... yellow 5... yellow 6... and blue 1. What on earth is THAT candy???
Morning MAGIC's Sue Tabb is the featured guest in The Story Behind Her Success with Candy O'Terry. As a two time breast cancer survivor and award winning broadcaster, Sue shares her story!
Is it ever OK - under any circumstances - to just walk into someone else's house (a friend or family member) and just open up their fridge? Sue says YES ALL THE WAY but David and Kendra are hesitant.
Once again, another truck (not knowing their height) got Storrowed on Storrow Drive this morning, just in time for Kendra to be lodged in the back up at 530am. One of our listeners, who is a truck driver called in with his thoughts on why it keeps happening!
Kendra has been waiting for this FOREVER.... to get rid of Daylight Saving Time. The Senate passed a bill, and now in Massachusetts there are 3 pending bills to go to Atlantic Standard Time permanently.
Loved hearing from our listeners about some of their funniest and most unique Halloween costumes!
Sue and David are going to couple themed Halloween parties with their spouses (different parties) but they want to stand out and WIN the prize -- so we started thinking about the MOST UNIQUE costumes we've ever seen....
Our MAGIC listeners called in to make us feel better about the insane amount of traffic that goes on ALLL DAYYYY. There really is no such thing as RUSH HOUR anymore!
Here on Morning MAGIC, we have decided that there is no longer a "Rush Hour" -- traffic is jammed up ALLLLLL DAY LONG, regardless of the time of day.
Sue just found out TODAY that her husband Tom has a separate Amazon account and she somehow feels a little betrayed. Do you have separate bank or amazon accounts?
When crossing the street, why do we feel the need to press the walk button over and over no matter how many times it's been pressed? We all do it, right?
Morning MAGIC's Sue Tabb is the featured guest in The Story Behind Her Success with Candy O'Terry. As a two time breast cancer survivor and award winning broadcaster, Sue shares her story!
A few years ago, a good friend of Colleen’s started Kindness for Colleen – encouraging everyone to perform acts of kindness in Colleen’s honor. These efforts include everything and anything from holding the door for someone to buying someone’s coffee, thanking all those who support you, teaching lessons of kindness in the classroom or simply just sharing a smile.
You can share your acts of kindness on social media using #Kindness4Colleen
Multiple bottles of body spray, a bag of nuts, a box of cheese, hand sanitizer, a nail and some tweezers --- are just a FEW of the items that lay within the doors of Sue Tabb's car.
Did you know that those annoying Stink Bugs were accidentally brought over to the U.S. in 1996??? Yea... thanks a lot.
Is it just us -- or are the STINK BUGS taking over your house, your screens and your windows?!! David, Sue and Kendra need some remedies.
You can join David and hundreds of thousands of people across the country who are walking in the Out of the Darkness Community Walksto prevent suicide and support AFSP's mission to save lives and bring hope to those affected by suicide.
We started talking about using Doordash and getting food delivered in general... then David told Sue and Kendra on the air that he NEVER EVER does food delivery. Always drives to pick it up and they couldn't believe it. Not even for pizza??
Since Halloween is 2 weeks away… we welcomed Lisa Urizandi, Zoe Gawlik and Ashley Cox from Wayward Spirits Paranormal Society .. They are MAGIC Listeners who also hunt for spirits!
BIG THINGS happening here on Morning MAGIC: We have a new coffee machine... and Kendra is very excited. There are pictures and fancy options!
Well, we did it. We headed to Salem MA yesterday and went through some of the scariest Haunted Houses!! Huge thank you to Destination Salem, Haunted Happenings, Chambers of Terror, The Witch Mansion, Frankenstein's Castle and the International Monster Museum.
If David has to face his fear and walk through Salem's scariest Haunted House... then we decided that Sue had to have dinner and drinks with Bozo The Clown.
In an unbelievable spur of the moment revelation... Sue Tabb told David, Kendra and Intern Aiden that she was kicked off Bozo The Clown show when she was 5. Needless to say, she has not recovered from it.
Halloween is 2 weeks away so David, Sue and Kendra starting talking about making costumes VS buying them. Kendra is all in on making the costumes this year!
Every Friday on Morning MAGIC, we bring in a new Special Guest... and today we welcomed Marlene Galla from Malden. She brought us homemade treats and you can check out her cooking page called "Behind The Knife" on Facebook and Instagram!
Both David and Sue are going to Halloween parties this month and they need theme ideas. Kendra is trying her best to give them suggestions...
David and Kendra talked with Ed Gannon, owner of The Chambers of Terror, Salem's #1 attraction for frightful fun! Morning MAGIC will be LITERALLY going through this Haunted House on Monday and David is TERRIFIED.
You walk into the bathroom, look up and see a spider, a centipede or even a stink bug on the ceiling... what do you do? Squish it? Save it and return it to the outdoors? Or scream and then go get a braver family member?
Another year... and another Halloween that David and Sue still cannot convince Kendra to leave a bowl of Halloween candy out even though she gets no Trick or Treaters.
We sent Intern Aiden to Target this morning to try and find "Lewis The Halloween Ghoul" - he's an 8 foot tall Pumpkinhead ghoul that has gone viral; he costs $180 and is sold out everywhere.
When Halloween comes around... do you add to your collection with new decorations like Kendra? Or do you just pull out the same pumpkins, witches and ghosts as last year?
We did it!! Thanks to all of our listeners and to our Presenting Sponsor Keches Law Group for making the 3rd Annual #OneMAGICALWish an incredible success!! With every gift you have donated, One Wish Project will be able to supply birthday celebrations for at least 1,200 kids and teens living in foster care and homeless shelters for the next year.
What did you this weekend? I bet you didn't dress up as "Brett Botox" for a murder-mystery game at an Airbnb. Yea, that's just another weekend if you're Sue Tabb.
It's happening. Sue and Kendra contacted Haunted Happenings in Salem and they are taking David through his worst nightmare: A Haunted House ... more specifically, The Chamber Of Terror.
What a special moment to talk with Jasmine, an 18-year-old who has been living in foster care. Jasmine received a One Wish birthday last fall and explains the positive impact it had on her!
It finally happened.... Sue watched The Godfather so David and Kendra have prepared a quiz called, "Good God Sue FINALLY Watched The Godfather" -- let's see if she was paying attention!
Poor Sue... she had a rough start to the day. She was ironing her FAVORITE shirt at 4am in the dark.. and because she forgot to put water in the iron... it burned a whole through the shirt...
David, Sue and Kendra talked with Executive Director of One Wish Project, Claudia Mintz about how grateful they are to the MAGIC listeners for donating gifts through our ONE MAGICAL WISH!
Who would have guessed? .... The Golden Bachelor TV show is getting rave reviews…even from the younger crowd...Gen Z loves Gerry! Intern Aiden explains why!
One of our MAGIC listeners Lori shared with us that she had her children (ages 4 and 7) pick out toys to donate to ONE MAGICAL WISH. They picked Elsa and Spiderman!
David, Sue and Kendra talked with a local mom whose son was a recent recipient of a ONE WISH PROJECT birthday party. She shared their experience, as well, her overwhelming gratitude and the priceless memory this has made for her 6 yr old son Jaxiel.
Kendra's town did hydrant flushing yesterday while she had an entire load of laundry in the washing machine... and now all of her daughter's clothes are soaked with black dirt and brown mud!
Intern Aiden was staying at his girlfriends house, (all girl apartment) and didn't expect any roommates to be awake at 4am... so you can imagine the utter shock that ensued when he walked from the shower (in a towel) to the room... and he wasn't the only one awake.
As we continue in our FINAL WEEK for One MAGICAL Wish, we got to talk with Volunteer Dawn Sorrenti about why being a part of One Wish Project is so important!
This is our FINAL WEEK and we really need your help to get 2,500 gifts to One Wish Project --by Friday!!
Let's recap the ANIMAL WEEKEND: David's cats peed on his laundry; Sue's dog chewed up a $5,000 dental mouthpiece.... and ironically, Kendra (who was dog sitting a puppy) had the best weekend ever!!
This morning we talked with One Wish Project Volunteer Deana DeLuca about the impact that they have had on these deserving kids and how much it means to be a part of our ONE MAGICAL WISH campaign!
Our MAGIC Listeners had some great tips for Kendra as she will be dog-sitting for her brothers dog "Bode" this weekend!
Kendra is dog-sitting for her brother this weekend and it's been a few years since she's had a pet in the house...
We are talking with renowned Pumpkin Sculptor and Champion of Food Network’s Outrageous Pumpkins Paul Dever– He will be at the Topsfield Fair Oct 7-9th. Paul will be in the Trianon Area Saturday, Oct 7th. 8th & 9th 11:00am — 6:00pm.
One of our MAGIC listeners called in with a much better (AND CHEAPER) idea for Sue instead of her eating a $30 bottle of Keto Gummies.
It's that time of year to pick your pumpkins... but how do you know when they are perfect for carving???
Sue and her husband are trying a Keto Diet and she happened to see (on TV) that you can buy Keto Gummies over the counter, so she did.... We are wondering....do they work?
Since Sue and Kendra are determined to get David into a Haunted House.... we decided to talk with an expert... Stacia Cooper is the Interim Director of Destination Salem and she had some advice for David!
We were thrilled to talk with Besty Feeley, one of the volunteers for One Wish Project. Betsy shared some behind the scenes of her experience. One Wish Project provides birthday celebrations for children and teens living in homeless shelters and foster care.
One of our MAGIC listeners called in and tried to help Sue and Kendra convince David to go to a Haunted House... The one she recommended involved people with chainsaws literally chasing you through a corn field!
David is absolutely TERRIFIED of Haunted Houses, so of course with Halloween Festivities starting next week, Sue and Kendra are determined to take him inside one of the scariest Haunted Houses of all.... Oh yes, we are taking a field trip to Salem, MA!
David, Sue & Kendra talked with Sean Flaherty, the Managing Partner of Keches Law Group. This year Keches Law Group is the Presenting Sponsor of our 3rd Annual One Magical Wish. We are so grateful for their support--- and this morning Sean announced that they will be MATCHING THE NEXT 250 TOYS DONATED!!
Do you buy greeting cards? Like birthday cards? Sue and Kendra think they are kind of a waste of money ... but David loves them!
One Wish Project Founder Hannah Finn was in studio this morning to help us kick off the 3rd Annual One MAGICAL Wish campaign. The goal? To get at least 2,500 gifts purchased and sent to One Wish Project so that they can provide birthday celebrations for kids and teens living in foster care and homeless shelters.
The 3rd Annual One MAGICAL Wish kicked off this morning! For the next two weeks, September 25 - October 6th we are partnering with One Wish Project to help them provide birthday celebrations for children and teens living in homeless shelters and foster care. We hope to get at least 2,500 gifts and we are so grateful to our first Presenting Sponsor Keches Law Group!
Today is Intern Aidens Birthday -- and of course with any birthday on this morning show, there is almost always a story (or a curse) behind the birthday cake.
Every Friday on Morning MAGIC, we bring in a new Special Guest... and today we have Bob Catinazzo. He's from Saugus, and he has run in 14 MARATHONS!! (Watch out David!)
We've seen people do it... Kendra DEFINITELY does it... but is it OK to snack on food in the supermarket BEFORE you buy it?
I’m Listening 2023 on MAGIC 106.7FM, featuring David O'Leary in conversation about mental health awareness and suicide prevention with:
Commissioner Brooke Doyle, MA Department of Mental Health
Jessica van der Stad, MA Chapter American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
Eileen Davis, Call2Talk
Alex Miller, Not One More Vet (NOMV)
Sue detected an odor in the office kitchen... it smells like either onions or someone's armpits. Ironically, Kendra is going for a mammogram later today and can't wear deodorant to the appt - (however, she IS wearing it now) ... For a minute, they suspected the worst.
As the writers strike continues, some of our favorite TV shows are going away. So we wondered.... what would you do if your TV’s all vanished tomorrow? More specifically, what will Kendra do?!!
Weddings were always expensive but lately the price for everything......... (especially if you are IN THE WEDDING PARTY) ... is unreal.
I'm Listening returns for a very special conversation regarding mental health. Talk saves lives so we're featuring artists, athletes, and experts and talking to you during our annual I’m Listening broadcast special. David will be on TONIGHT from 7-8pm!
The farm store manager for Tougas Farm in Northborough called in to tell Sue that they have plenty of adults that come by alone to go apple picking!
The MAGIC listeners want Sue to go Apple Picking alone .. and then maybe enjoy a little hard cider!
Apple picking…can you go without kids, or is that strange? Sue is feeling strange about going with just her husband .... but David and Kendra are saying go for it!
The 3rd Annual One MAGICAL Wish is coming! For 2 weeks: September 25 - October 6th as we partner with One Wish Project to help them provide birthday celebrations for children and teens living in homeless shelters and foster care.
Well he finally did it.....David watched Dirty Dancing and came in ready with his review and movie recap.
We are having a blast with our Special Guests ... Lindsay and Lyla from Weymouth. Fun fact, Lindsay has also NEVER SEEN THE GODFATHER!!
Every Friday on Morning MAGIC, we bring in a new Special Guest... and today we have a Mother-Daughter DUO! We welcomed Lindsay and Lyla Peckham from Weymouth into our studio!
Our MAGIC listeners have been calling all morning convincing Sue that she needs to watch The Godfather!!
The Morning MAGIC Movie Challenge continues... David STILL needs to watch Dirty Dancing and Sue STILL needs to watch The Godfather. However, Sue is refusing to watch it!
Intern Aiden tested David, Sue and Kendra on their knowledge of the best and most unusual fair foods!
King Richards Faire is happening, The Big E kicks off this weekend and of course The Topsfield Fair returns on September 29th…so what is your fair ‘go to” something you have to do, buy or EAT… Fried dough and kettle corn anyone?
David, Sue and Kendra talked with Leominster Mayor Dean Mazzarella about the horrendous flash flooding and incredible damage happening in the town right now.
When you’re the passenger in a car, you must follow the essential rules of the road: Know how to read a GPS; Be looking for parking spots ahead of time; Have the snacks opened, unzipped and ready to eat.
He has 4 tattoos already ... but he is planning on two BIG ONES on his thighs.... Sue and David are not tattoo people but Kendra has a few (including Pat the Patriot). Loved hearing from our listeners about their ink!
Intern Aiden was at the Pats game yesterday but his tailgating experience was a little fancier than most. One of his friends hired a PERSONAL CHEF to cook for them... so move over chips and dip, it's time for jalapeno poppers wrapped in bacon!
Aiden describes his schedule and gives us strategies for handling a big night out. Hour by hour recap of pregaming, shower beer, and when to call the Uber!
September Siege: How is September looking for you? Seems like a crazy busy month as we all gear up for “life after summer." Vacations are over, kids back to school.
Sue's dog Gracie was a little fresh with a neighborhood dog, so now Sue is hiring a dog trainer to help Ms. Gracie behave....and Kendra is laughing over how long and how expensive this is going to be.
It's always awkward when you see your teachers outside of school... at the grocery store, the beach, or in "regular clothes!"
Sue and Kendra have now turned David onto the dark side of grocery shopping.. more specifically, the DELI COUNTER.
Performance anxiety…... we’re talking about the DELI COUNTER. Here are the rules: know what you want when your number is called, be present when your number is called and don't window shop at the front of the line!!
The Dandee Donut Factory has selected the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (Massachusetts Chapter) as the beneficiary of its ‘Donuts That Make A Difference Campaign, in honor of National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month.... and they brought us donuts this morning!
Most kids are heading back to the classroom this week…What are your back to school family traditions?
If you live in or around Lakeville... be on the lookout for an Emu that is on the loose. Apparently, the family who owned the animal (either left it behind or it got away)... Either way, Sue wants to adopt it.
The un-seen movie battle is on. Sue has to watch The Godfather and David has to watch Dirty Dancing by Friday of this week and then answer questions on the air!
David and his wife went to the beach yesterday, and there was a hungry seagull that tried to eat the plastic bag with his wife's bra in it.
The month of September is a weird one isn't it? It's still super hot, kids are back at school, there are Halloween things everywhere and Sue refuses to start decorating for "Harvest."
Like it or not, it's back to school time so we asked our listeners to fill in this blank: I can’t believe I was the ____ in high school…. (shy kid, class clown…school mascot)?
Sue and Kendra talked with Easton native and founder of Booty by Brabants, Kelly Brabants about her fun and colorful athleisure wear line, designed to fit all body types. Plus, they are having a massive Booty by Brabants Warehouse Sale & Block Party on SUNDAY!
Since school is starting next week for most people... we started thinking about everything that goes along with "back to school" and that includes the school mascot. Lo and behold, our VP of Sales Barbara Jean was her high school's mascot!!!
Intern Aiden revealed a very interesting list of things (in life) that he believes are totally overrated. That includes skiing, Sun-Chips, the color Orange, brownies and even the Moon.
We found someone just like Kendra... one of our MAGIC listeners called in and said she furnished her ENTIRE HOUSE from things she bought on Facebook Marketplace.
Facebook Marketplace - we need an intervention for Kendra who is constantly buying and selling stuff. Strangers are coming to the door to buy $3 flip flops.
Sue brought in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch today... and when Kendra and Intern Aiden mentioned that they use Grape Jam, Sue almost exploded out of her seat with disgust... "she ONLY uses Smuckers Red Raspberry Preserve!"
The MAGIC Listeners called in droves to back up Sue when she said that she still watches Network TV.
Apparently Kendra is not alone. Our MAGIC listeners also have kids calling them Bruuhh....
What do your kids call you? …Mom, mommy, mama…if you’re Kendra, they call you Ken… or Bruuuhhh!
Sue and Kendra ask Intern Aiden to explain things like the Booty Pop and the Sorority Squat.
Kendra's kids start school next week, which got us thinking about the school supply list. Why is the Math Notebook always red???
Intern Aidens mom Meg (who is a Nurse) called in to give Sue her final diagnosis on the eye injury!
Sue has something in her eye, and because we like to torture her as much as we can... Kendra and Intern Aiden are Web-MDing a diagnosis and taking calls from the MAGIC listeners!
Well, our MAGIC listeners came to the rescue with some mosquito remedies for Sue and Kendra: One involved building a bat box, while the other involved eating an entire clove of garlic.
Seriously, what's the deal with mosquitoes? Why can't we get rid of them forever?? Sue and Kendra are getting eaten alive in their backyards and they need help.
Nantucket has been named the world's most-expensive beach destination by website Travel Magazine ... but since Kendra hasn't been to either one, Sue is trying to start a Go Fund Me page to get her there!
We found the ultimate spreadsheet planner when it comes to vacation......David's friend Mike Welch. He literally plans out every minute for his family vacation trips.
It was a successful first vet visit for David's cats Linus and Lucy yesterday... Although it involved some trickery and treats -- they made it into the carrier.
What’s the proper etiquette when you have work being done at your house? Do you stay and watch the workers (like Kendra)? Do you offer food and beverages (like David)?
Goodbye to Christmas Tree Shops... David and Kendra reminisced about all the iconic stores that we miss. (Toys R Us, David's Bridal, Filenes Basement, Bed Bath & Beyond)
Fun fact about our Special Guest ... he was featured on the hit TV show Rescue Me (with Denis Leary)!
Every Friday on Morning MAGIC, we bring in a new Special Guest... and today we welcomed Hingham Firefighter Chris DiNapoli into the studio. We have sooooo many questions for him!!
How was your college roommate? We want to hear all the stories…the good, the bad and the totally annoying!
Intern Aiden is having quite a morning -- he was out pretty late last night after the Red Sox game and is just a tad hungover. Sooooooo we decided to turn up the lights, the volume and start asking him questions.
Two of us debated a silly topic (today was Soggy Fries, Watching TV in Bed and Eating Expired Food). Kendra picked the topics then David and Sue had to argue their point! Intern Aiden judged who had the best argument!
Intern Aiden is going to the Red Sox game tonight, but the "festivities" are starting this morning after the show... so ... David, Sue and Kendra are predicting that tomorrow morning will be a little rough for him.
David and Kendra are teasing Sue because ... (like all things "Sue") ... she is having a dog birthday party for Gracie, and of course, it's no small party.
After David told us about never having seen the movie Dirty Dancing.. the MAGIC listeners joined in on the fun!
When you give someone your zip code, do you say "ZERO" or the letter "O?" David and Sue are the O people.... while Kendra maybe be the only one saying ZERO.
We discovered something shocking today. David has still NEVER seen the movie Dirty Dancing. Then Sue admitted she's never seen The Godfather... HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?
We all like to do our laundry in our specific ways ... but we wondered which is the best way: liquid detergent, laundry pods or those eco-friendly sheets?
David, Sue and Kendra had three VERY DIFFERENT weekends. One involved a game of pickleball, one involved doing taxes, and one involved drinking at least 5 Cosmos in one night.
In honor of having our Special Guest Principal Kim Taylor in studio... we decided to ask our listeners about what landed them in the principals office when they were in school.
We welcome our very first Special Guest for our Special Guest Fridays... Principal Kim Taylor of the Curran Early Childhood Education Center in Dedham.
David, Sue and Kendra talked with former Patriots player and BC Hall of Famer Doug Flutie about the incredible work he has done with The Flutie Foundation For Autism. In honor of their 25th anniversary, you can attend the STARS OF THE SPECTRUM Concert happening at Fenway Park on August 24th.
Back to school is happening fast... So we started talking about or favorite first day memories: first day outfit, new backpack, school supplies, lunch box... oh and the 2 mile WALK TO THE BUS!!
Every morning David prints out a weather sheet and today there was a little typo that both Sue and Kendra found pretty, pretty, pretty funny...
Sue drove to work with no gas (her reserve tank is working overtime) and she thinks she is going to make it halfway to Route 1 before stopping for gas.
Are you a milk drinker? Like regular milk? David, Sue and Kendra were fascinated that Intern Aiden drinks regular milk every day, multiple times a day.
It's quite a historical day here on Morning MAGIC. Kendra arrived on time and BEFORE Sue; Sue was not only late, she drove to work with her gas tank on reserve. What in the world is happening!! It's like they have switched bodies.
We are introducing a new feature on the show called SPECIAL GUEST FRIDAYS! Every week we want to welcome YOU into our home, our studio, our little circle!!
Kendra is back from vacation and recapped how AMAZING and FUN the lazy river tubing was! If you're looking for last minute summer fun... do the Saco River Tubing!
Loved talking with Sand Sculptor Melineige Beauregard about competing in the 19th annual International Sand Sculpting Festival on Revere Beach this weekend!
Kendra got a letter that she is due for a mammogram, which got us thinking about all the strange and awkward things that have happened to us in the doctor's office.
It was a huge day in Boston sports.... Jaylen Brown got a $304 million dollar contract; Patrice Bergeron retired from the Bruins after 19 years ........and........... the Red Sox traded Kike Hernandez back to the Dodgers. Sue is devastated!!!
Intern Aiden wasn't the only one writing to celebrities... our MAGIC listeners called in with some awesome responses to their celebrity fan letters.
Have you ever written to a celebrity and had them write back? Kendra wrote to Jonathan Taylor Thomas in 1994 and he never wrote back... BUT Intern Aiden has STACKS of binders with celebrity autographs and letters.
We talk to Sue's coach (coach Deb from the Newburyport Tennis Club) about how she did playing her first game of Pickleball!
Kendra is bringing her family tubing down the Saco River this weekend - BUT due to all the rain, the water levels are high.... ruh-roh. Lifejackets for everyone!
The “SEASONAL CREEP” is in full swing already: Full on Halloween decorations ….. and just wait… the Pumpkin Spice madness is coming in a week.
Our boss Sal is a farmer... and he ran into the studio to say that he totally agrees with Sue... in fact, not only does he tear apart the banana bunches, he does it for grapes and corn!
Turns out EVERYONE on the planet is ripping the banana bunches apart in the grocery store, it's not just Sue.
David and Kendra can't believe that Sue is THAT person that rips the banana bunches apart at the grocery store. Is that a thing?? Do people really tear them to get an exact amount?
David found a place in Boston that will take gently used stuffed animals.... Victory Programs (located at 404 S. Huntington Avenue) took all of his boxes of the stuffed animals in his house!
When you go into an arcade.. there are many choices, but we all have ONE GAME that we have mastered. Or at least we think we have mastered it... What would your Arcade Superpower be?
You know it, we know it.. the American people know it. When you approach the zig zag checkout line with the home decor and snacks… You always buy something!
Living in New England it's kind of like a rite of passage to complain about the weather but this summer has been beyond belief. It's not even the heat... it's the tornado watches, the CONSTANT rain and the smokey gray, humid days!
Two of us debate a silly topic (today was Superhero Movies, Store Band Foods & Monopoly) and Intern Aiden decides who has the better argument (for or against). Sue picked the topics then David and Kendra had to argue their point!
Since Kendra is always late for things.. David and Sue tested her to see if she is actually "Time Blind!" If you have ever listened to this show, then you don't need to guess the results of her quiz...
No big Powerball winner so the good news…now you have a shot at a BILLION dollars. That’s the estimated jackpot for tomorrow night. Will you buy tickets, what's your strategy? Intern Aiden explains to Kendra that she has a better chance of winning an academy award.
Are you a CHAT GPT user? If you don’t know about it or have never used it…it will blow your mind!! Sue talks David and Kendra through it...
How much tech do you use? Are you a fan of things like Ring Doorbell, Uber eats, Instacart, Waze?
David, Sue, Kendra -- and the MAGIC listeners are imagining what they would buy when they win either the Powerball or Mega Millions. Let's face it, we ALL have a lottery list.
Isn’t it just the worst when you are sitting at a red light and it just won’t turn green?? Sue had some tips for us: If you pull up to a light with a sensor, pull forward or back up a little .... And you can flash your high beams because some lights are triggered by cameras or infrared, and the high beam could help set them off.
Our Intern Aiden has a wedding to attend this weekend... in fact, he's the BEST MAN! David, Sue and Kendra prep him for all the DO's and DONT's in the speech!
Most of us are living with some sort of problem with our phones.... cracked screens, battery that loses its charge too fast, or maybe a broken home button (if you're like Kendra and you still have the iPhone 6!)
Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America - Sue bought paddles today, David has played several times and Kendra just doesn't get it.... So that means, we are going to organize a game!
It's a new segment on our show that we are calling "Aiden Explains" and today he introduced us to the dating phrase "Beige Flags" -- and all we can say is thank goodness we are not in the dating world.
Seriously, the Seagulls are getting more and more aggressive... Sue's husband Tom had his entire sandwich swiped while sitting on the beach!! But he wasn't the only one, we had tons of calls with crazy seagull stories!
Two of us debate a silly topic (today was Wearing PJs in Public, Online Shopping vs In Store and the End Pieces of Bread) and our intern Aiden decides who has the better argument (for or against). Kendra picked the topics then David and Sue had to argue their point!
Do you go to bed at the same time as your partner? Research shows that couples are happier if they are in bed at the same time. And not one of us on the morning show does this... HA!
Today is a big online shopping day... it's Prime Day. And that means Sue and Kendra aren't getting any work done, unless that work involves buying a Keurig and a Toaster Oven Air Fryer Combo.
Is it just in David and Sue's house... or are your pets destroying everything as well? David's cats Linus and Lucy have been spilling and knocking things over -- and Sue's dog Gracie ate all the tomatoes off the plants.
David finally decided to go through the abundance of stuffed animals in his house, looking to donate them ... but in true Kendra fashion, she wants the Care Bears!
Weekend Plans.... What is the ONE THING YOU ALWAYS MAKE for the 4th of July? Is it the flag cake? Maybe red/white/blue Jello shots?
Do you share your rewards cards / memberships with family and friends? Kendra better watch out - she is the sharing queen!
David and Kendra talked with our Afternoon Drive Host Karen Blake about all things Elvis, since she's giving away Elvis Costello tickets.... only this quiz is about "the other Elvis!"
Leave it to our listeners to share some tips and tricks on helping David and Kendra with Menu Anxiety....
Everyone knows what MENU ANXIETY is ... its when the server at the restaurant arrives at your table and you haven’t quite decided. Can you order FIRST .... or are you like David and Kendra, and need go last?
Apparently our listeners LOVE cruises... it seems like David and Kendra are in the minority with this one!
Who are the cruise people?? David and Kendra are not fans of being stranded floating in the middle of the ocean with thousands of other people.
Do you have a place to escape to in your house? A Man-Cave? Office? Or maybe you run into the bathroom and lock the door?
When did your partner ruin your romantic getaway? Maybe a nice case of food poisoning ... or maybe they ran into an ex before dinner?
The Wrong Shoe Theory ... Have you heard of it? Wearing shoes that don't match your outfit on purpose. (Sneakers with a dress, boots with shorts) YAY or NAY?
David ran the BAA 10K but showed up a day early for the event; We asked listeners "When have you shown up a day EARLY or LATE for an event?"
FINALLY.... someone has invented a toilet seat that automatically closes and cleans at the same time. Kevin is a Co-Founder and the CEO of Cleana Toilet Seat and David, Sue and Kendra are VERY EXCITED for this!!
In response to Kendra coloring her hair in the work bathroom... we found listeners who also do "strange things" at work... like shaving their legs!
We see weird things happening at work all the time, but this morning Kendra actually colored her hair in the women's bathroom.
David, Sue and Kendra are NOT risk takers... but our MAGIC listeners are apparently!! We asked: What is the most adventurous thing you’ve ever done? (Sky diving, mountain climbing, zip lining…) the responses are amazing!
Two of us debate a silly topic (today was Pet Snakes, Cold Showers and Renting a Beach House with Family) Kendra picked the topics then David and Sue had to argue their point. Our intern Aiden will decide who has the better argument (for or against).
Stuck in traffic? Having a bad day? Having a good day? Whatever it is, call us and share and let David Sue and Kendra get you through your RUSH HOUR!
Sue's vacation next week is not getting better... the forecast says clouds, rain and thunderstorms ALL WEEK and it's not improving. How will she keep a houseful of 20-somethings busy?
The five-person tourist submersible is at the center of an ongoing search and rescue effort after being reported missing while on an exploration trip to the wreck of the Titanic. It can dive two miles deep and is operated by a video game-style controller. David, Sue and Kendra say .... noooooo thank you.
Since the weather for Sue's vacation week looks like it'll be HORRIBLE every day for the entire week, our MAGIC listeners tried to give her ideas for fun indoor activities...
Experts say that EVERY DAY may not be the best approach... David does it every day, Sue is every other day and Kendra holds out the longest with only washing her hair twice a week!
Whatever you do, don't tell Sue what the weather is going to be like next week. She rented a beach house and it's supposed to be rain and thunderstorms ALL WEEK.........
It's Fathers Day weekend and we want to celebrate all the dads out there, so that means hearing your funniest dad stories! Happy Fathers Day to our David O'Leary!
It could be 200 degrees outside... and David will still not wear sandals. Sue and Kendra cannot believe that he is not a flip flop or a sandal-wearing guy....ever. This also got us on the topic of Sue not approving of her husband wearing tank tops!
We found a Chopped Champion!!!! Stillwater Boston owner Sarah Wade talked to us about HER experience on the show-- and had some tips for David!
Kendra gives David the details on the show Chopped... as she and Sue continue their mission to get David on the Food Network competition as a contestant!
Since Sue and Kendra are on a mission to get David on Food Network's Chopped... we asked the MAGIC listeners if they've ever been on a reality/competition show and to give us the scoop!
David, Sue and Kendra admit that when no one's looking they eat some pretty strange things... in some pretty strange ways. You know, like squirting Easy Cheese directly into your mouth or scooping the remnants of hummus with your fingers.
Sue and Kendra are on a mission to get David to apply and be a contestant on the Food Network's competition show CHOPPED. He's a great cook, and we think he has a chance to win!!
Animal uprise: Bears are roaming around Lexington and Arlington... Coyotes, Wild turkeys...what is going on? We talk to Dave Scarpitti, Wildlife Biologist from Mass Wildlife!
We all have those silly fights with our spouse (you know, like not loading the dishwasher "THE RIGHT WAY" or battling over where to put the recycling bin). Loved hearing from our listeners on this as well!
Two of us debate a silly topic (today was Long Distance Relationships, Birkenstock Sandals and Kids Allowances). Sue picked the topics then David and Kendra had to argue their point!
When was the last time you got an unexpected compliment? Sue got a nice compliment from someone in line at the grocery store and it totally made her day!
Do you have a calendar in your house? Does everyone follow along... or is it more like in David's house, where he seems to be the only one looking at it?
It's going to be 80 today so let's talk beach outings…we want to know…you’re most outrageous beach moment…something you saw or overheard perhaps?
After one million years of having the same phone number.... MAGIC has a new way for you to reach us.... NEW PHONE NUMBER ALERT... 617-655-1067!
The MAGIC Listeners called in and shared their feelings on the birthday cake denial story!
A mom in Florida shared this (now viral) story about her 3-year-old daughter crashing another child’s birthday party in the park: This mom said her daughter befriended some kids who appeared to be at a birthday party in the park. When it was time for cake, her little girl lined up and reached for a plate. The mother of the birthday girl said no.
Tipping at a restaurant or for a service is understandable... but now it seems like we are tipping for EVERYTHING.... (even for a $3 muffin!) and it's gotten out of control!
David, Sue and Kendra talked to WCVB chief meteorologist Cindy Fitzgibbon about the wildfire smoke and when the poor air quality issues will be over!
The MAGIC listeners called in and Kendra (who is the unofficial Yard Sale Master of the morning show) gave them some good tips!
Thrift shopping is a growing trend. So we ask you, do you enjoy a good bargain at a consignment shop or a yard sale?
With the crazy weather continuing... and the wildfire smoke from Canada fogging up the air quality, David, Sue and Kendra realized they are started to sound like Doomsday Preppers!
We decided to make ourselves feel REALLY OLD by asking our 22-year-old intern Aiden things like "Can you write in cursive?" "Have you ever written a check?" "Ever rented a video from Blockbuster?"
One of our MAGIC listeners called in with the best response for her choice of reality TV!
With the news that Antiques Roadshow is coming to town, we wanted to know what reality/competition TV show would best fit your personality!
Kendra was a little late this morning because................ she got pulled over for speeding. And now we listen to her "excuses!" HAHA!
The MAGIC Listeners had some AWESOME good and bad memories from field trips! (both as kids and as chaperones!)
Kendra was out yesterday because she was a chaperone for her son's 4th grade field trip... so we wanted to know what our listeners remembered from their school days!
Two of us debate a silly topic (today was Holding Elevator Doors, Giving Back 50 50 Raffle Money and Yelling at Friends Kids) and our Intern Aiden decides who had the better argument (for or against). David picked the topics then Sue and Kendra had to argue their point!
When it comes to summer travel, are you more of a hotel person or do you like Airbnb's better? Loved hearing from the listeners on this one!!
David, Sue and Kendra were talking about graduation money, and then when David mentioned "writing a check" our Intern Aiden responded by saying he's never written one and wouldn't know where to start! Whaaaatt!!
What an AMAZING NIGHT!!! The 2nd Annual Light a Candle Gala was a huge success last night. Thank you to all the generous sponsors and donors for helping to continue the mission of One Wish Project as they provide birthday celebrations for kids and teens in homeless shelters and foster care.

The 2nd Annual Light a Candle Gala is TONIGHT from 6-8pm at the Andover Country Club and we were so delighted to talk with Kim Rock, the COO of Institution For Savings as they are the Toast Sponsor for the evening.

When giving a graduation gift, do you always go with cash, or maybe do you give an actual gift item? Maybe something personalized??
Are you a "keep your sunglasses in the car" kind of person like Kendra and David? Or are you more of a ...... "where are my sunglasses, because I never leave them in one spot" kind of person like Sue?
Two of us debate a silly topic (today was Scary Movies, Shushing People and King Charles). Kendra picked the topics, David and Sue had to debate each one, and our intern Aiden decided who had the better argument (for or against).
Now that beach weather is here... we know you'll be in the sun, so what is the worst sunburn you've ever had and how did you remedy it?

We all have the "Sunday Blues" - the bummed out feeling about the coming week..... But instead of treating Friday as party time, what if you used it to get everything done so that you don't have that dread on Sunday night?
Mom fails, we’ve all had them, and it makes us feel better to know that it isn't just us. Sue didn't know her daughter was allergic to tree nuts and told her to just drink some water... and Kendra fell asleep and missed her kids pickup at school.
Kendra was at Market Basket yesterday when the credit card machines went down and they were taking "CASH ONLY!" Apparently, it was happening at all Market Baskets!

What (if anything) do you not mind doing by yourself? Could you go to the movies alone? Dinner out? What about going on a 7-10 day vacation ALL BY YOURSELF??
Coronation Weekend! Sue is royal obsessed but most people seem only mildly interested. But we found faithful listener Ruth, who is from England, and hosting an all-out coronation party. 40 people in her one-bedroom apartment!

We checked in with Peggie Ritzer this morning as we get ready for the 10th Anniversary Step Up for Colleen 5K this Sunday, May 7th, in Andover. It’s held each year in memory of Danvers High School teacher Colleen Ritzer and raises funds for scholarships in her name for future educators.
Since Sue is known for her glorious patio, and Christopher Knight (aka "Peter Brady") has one of the most popular patio furniture lines (Christopher Knight Brands), let’s see who can guess the patio piece— just by their description....

May has arrived ... time to do some Spring cleaning, yard work, switching over the winter gear for the lawnmowers... and in Kendra's case, the septic clean out.

There was a great story about a guy in England who wrote a letter to his neighbors complaining that their backyard Is an 'Eyesore' and 'Devaluing the Neighborhood' because they hang dry their clothes... so it got us thinking...

Amazon is rolling out a new streaming feature called Dialogue Boost, that lets you increase the volume on the dialogue ONLY - which is perfect, because we all seem to be addicted to closed captions!
Kelly Ripa is now hosting "LIVE" with her husband Mark Consuelos after Ryan Seacrest's departure. Got us thinking...could you work - side by side - with your spouse?

In just 4 hours and 50 minutes, David finished his third Boston Marathon and we could not be more proud of him! We recapped the day, how his muscles are feeling and of course the crowd!
We know that Kendra likes to return things but returning food to the grocery store - is that strange??? She bought some baby carrots that smelled funny, so she returned them the next day.

Have you seen the progressive ad about the elevator? Got us thinking about elevator etiquette, what are the unwritten rules of riding the elevator?

David and Kendra went to the Red Sox game yesterday ... it was FAHHHHREEEEZZING but hey, this is Boston and it's the Red Sox.... we can handle it!!

It's "Get over it Day" so what is it that you need to get over or let go of? For Sue, it's that there are no baby pictures of her. There is ONE from a recital when she is about 5 and the next one is her high school graduation picture.

The MAGIC listeners called in to give their opinion on whether or not the Monday after the BIG GAME should be an official holiday!

Sue and Kendra have a differing opinion on WHEN they wash their jeans... and if you're Kendra, the question becomes, DO YOU EVEN WASH THEM??
When you are constantly hosting people at your house, you always need certain things in the fridge and both Sue and Kendra realized for them... its cheese. Blocks and blocks of cheese.
We know that Kendra loves TV but is she addicted to it? Sue gave her the "Are You A TV Addict" quiz... and let's just say, she passed with flying colors.
The MAGIC listeners weighed in on the question of which they could go without... their phone or TV for an entire week... and we had some interesting answers!!
It's a great question... If you had to choose, could you go ONE WEEK without either your phone or access to any TV shows? I think we all know Kendra's answer...
Sue needed to find a dress for an upcoming gala -- and she did. But since the dress is a black dress, she wants to "fancy it up" with some shoes... and of course, Kendra is enabling her to shop.
Not only do they re-use tin foil.. some of our MAGIC listeners reuse paper towels and solo cups!!
Hilarious hearing from our MAGIC listeners on reusing things like tin foil, ziploc bags! For the most part, they seem to agree with Kendra! They do it!
No one knows how we started talking about this but Sue discovered that Kendra reuses her aluminum foil... and Ziploc bags. We are not kidding... but according to Kendra, she has "rules for when it's ok to do it."
Everyone has that ONE THING that is just overflowing in their house... for Sue and Kendra it's coffee mugs.
Kendra actually found someone she knows with a Chicken Coop. Her friend Blake called in to tell us what it's like on a daily basis, and how delicious the eggs are...
Now that egg prices are so high, Sue and Kendra decided they want to get on the trend of having a Chicken Coop... some of our MAGIC listeners called in to tell us how awesome it is when you have FRIENDS WITH CHICKENS!!
Two of us debate a silly topic (today was Window Seat, Butter On Counter & Emojis In A Text ) and a team of 3 judges decides who has the better argument (for or against). David picked the topics then Sue and Kendra had to argue their point!
We can't get over that this is REAL. In Iowa, at the Iowa State Fair there is a real contest called "The Husband Calling Competition"-- and it is everything you imagined it would be.
After the snowfall yesterday, we started talking about people needing to shovel their sidewalks and then we turned to Sue, who shovels NOTHING. No, she has people for that.
The Great Sleepover Debate .... Did you have them when you were a kid and do you let your kids have them? There's apparently a new trend that is showing that parents don't want sleepovers anymore...
Sue and Kendra have GIGANTIC bags, and both of them are filled with nonsense... but the question David wants answered... Who has the heavier bag?
According to a survey out of the UK, people should not bring cake into the office for the sake of their colleagues’ health... wait, what?? We ALWAYS do that! We bring it in to work so that we wont eat it at home!
David, Sue and Kendra have their favs... but what are your absolute favorite, GO-TO comfort foods to eat when its cold and yucky outside? Chicken Pot Pie, a Bolognese ... maybe some Chowda??
The MAGIC listeners called in and gave us their feelings on when and how many times you will HAUNT your friends and family for a text response.
When you send someone a text message... how long will you wait for them to reply? And does the urgency matter more over WHO it is? (Kids vs Coworkers)?
Sue's dog Gracie got to meet her brother Fenway yesterday... and well, let's just say Gracie was a little wild....
Since David is running his 3rd Boston Marathon... Sue and Kendra thought it would be fun to test how well he knows the actual course.
Are you the kind of person who has all your appliances ON THE KITCHEN COUNTER or is it completely clutter free? We WISH we could be like the clutter-free people!!!!
Sue's dog Gracie will meet her sibling, who is named Fenway, today... So David and Kendra are wondering if they will love each other or battle over who is the Alpha Dog!
Two of us debate a silly topic (today was PLASTIC UTENSILS, IRONING YOUR JEANS and PUMPKIN SPICE LATTES) and a team of 3 judges decides who has the better argument (for or against).
What meal scarred you as a kid? Liver & onions, pork chops and applesauce, tuna casserole, ham skillet, brown bread in a can? David, Sue and Kendra remember those meals WITH DETAIL!
Did you know that the Salt and Pepper shakers are the dirtiest items in your kitchen? David Sue and Kendra started to realize they don't really clean as much as they should be...
It's Girl Scout Cookie Season so we had to talk to a local Troop Leader to get all the details! Beth Ortins is the Asst Troop Leader for Troop 70349 and she gave us all the details for getting your cookies!!
According to the latest Gallup poll .... nurses lead the nation in ratings for honesty and ethics for the 20th consecutive year. As for us (morning radio hosts), well, lets just say at least we were above the telemarketers!
On Jan. 3, Ronzoni announced that it would be discontinuing its Pastina -- and Sue and Kendra are not happy about it. Then we all started thinking about other food favorites that have been discontinued.
There are those of us who like to ski, snowboard, go tubing, build a snowman and go sledding.... and then there's Kendra, who absolutely, positively, unequivocally haaaaaaaaaaaaaates the winter.
Since David is trying to convince Sue and Kendra to plan their weekly dinners at home.. we turned to our friend, Celebrity Chef Jason Santos on who is doing dinner the right way!
When it comes to dinner during the week, David plans out every meal, while Sue and Kendra literally open the fridge at 5pm and ask "What's for dinner?"
One of our MAGIC listeners, Patty from Cambridge, called in to tell us that having a chicken coup really helps with the cost of eggs! But the funnier party of the story is what she named her chickens...
Since food shopping seems to be like a game of "The Price Is Right" lately... and we are all bouncing around for different options. Sue introduces The Butchery to David and Kendra.
It's our first edition of CONVINCE ME... Two of us debate a silly topic (today was MAKING OUR BEDS, CLOWNS and PINEAPPLE ON PIZZA) and a team of 3 judges decides who has the better argument (for or against).
Sue is our Royal Expert ... and she explains the behind the scenes on why Prince William and Prince Harry aren't getting along.
There's a new trend we'd like to introduce to you: its called FLOPPING and all of our kids do it. They walk into a room and just FLOP onto their bed, the couch... anywhere. And that FLOPPING leads to empty cups and bowls being left everywhere (almost like we are in the movie "Signs")!
Sue told us about this ice cream shop (where they throw the ice cream scoops at you) -- this got David and Kendra venting about their disdain for any kind if interactive dinner places... They just want to sit down and enjoy a meal in peace!
Is there anything at work that you like better vs at home? Maybe it's the coffee maker, or the scissors? Kendra has been taking hoards of the Band Aids from the First Aid kit because she says they are "more durable!"
Now that the Patriots are out of the running.. I think we are all rooting for Buffalo. Not just because of Damar Hamlin, but also because Buffalo has never won a Super Bowl!
Needing some healthy motivation for the New Year? Morgan Bungerz is the Owner and Founder of GYM BUNGERZ and he talked with David, Sue and Kendra about keeping people on track throughout the year (and not just in January!)
Do you know CPR? Can you operate a defibrillator? David, Sue and Kendra talked to Middleton Fire Chief Doug LeColst about the importance of CPR training.
If you're a coffee drinker.. How late in the day can you drink it? Sue and Kendra can't drink any coffee after 9am (they associate it with "morning only") but David can drink it all day long..
If you're like us, then you have your Christmas Tree sitting in the yard or at the end of the driveway. Instead of just tossing in the trash, you can DONATE it to a local farm where the animals will eat it. We talked with Kathy Hulamkuh of the UNITY FARM SANCTUARY and she explained how easy it is to just drop off your Christmas Tree!
Sue and David have already failed at their Dry January attempt. David admitted to having a beer last night. (Sue had two). Kendra isn't doing Dry January AT ALL. Her motto "enjoy the wine, life is short."
WCVB Chief Meteorologist Cindy Fitzgibbon talked with David, Sue and Kendra about the upcoming holiday storm!

David, Sue and Kendra talked with Sharon Aigler, founder of Community Kangaroo about where to find some of the best neighborhoods with Christmas Light displays!
When it comes to the stockings - what's your style? More homemade with the glitter names... or do you up the game with the "Pottery Barn-esq" ones?
There was an incident yesterday... Around 8 am Kendra got a phone from her husband... she accidentally had her husband car keys in her bag. Here, in Boston, at the station... woops!
It's Christmas crunch time - and we are all sitting by the window or checking our online apps to see when our packages are arriving...
Our MAGIC listeners called in to say whether they leave their holiday lights on ALL NIGHT vs setting a timer and shutting them off at 11pm..
It may be an even split on this... Do you leave your Christmas lights on all night? (David and Kendra do) Or are you more of a "set a timer" kind of person?
Sue dropped her English Muffin on the floor in the office kitchen and we are debating on whether the 5 Second Rule applies... David says NO - toss it. Kendra says YES - brush it off and eat it.
In honor of Matt Light strapping on some skates and trying his best to match up against Bruins icons... David, Sue and Kendra tested his hockey knowledge in a little game called "LIGHT ON THE ICE!"
Loved talking with former Pats player and 3x Super Bowl Champ Matt Light about the incredible work that The Light Foundation is doing -- and the upcoming 8th Annual Bruins Alumni Charity Game!
Since everyone will be in the act of sealing an envelope this week (holiday cards) we wondered about your technique... Sue does the lick dab, Kendra does the lick swipe and David uses a wet sponge.
When you are stuck on what to get for someone, do you have a back up/ go-to gift that you'll buy? Maybe gift cards? Candles? Scratch tickets?

Most people buy one or two things for themselves during the holiday season -- but not Sue. She's all in. She has come in every day with a new shirt or pair of shoes...
The O'Leary house is expanding............. with new fur babies. David got kittens and they are super cute. Now we need name suggestions for the brother and sister pair.
Be honest-- What have you purchased for yourself while out holiday shopping? We are all doing it!!! One for you, one for me....

We loved talking with One Wish Project Volunteer Taylor Ward about why she got involved with this fabulous organization, and what her experience is like when she brings the birthday celebrations to these deserving kids and teens.
Every year we go through this... David waits until the last minute to get a Christmas Tree. Sue and Kendra both made bets to see how long it will take him to actually get a tree and decorate it. Sue thinks he will do it sooner than Kendra does. Kendra thinks it'll be another Christmas Eve run!
We have just one more day to get 2,500 gifts donated for our ONE MAGICAL WISH to help stock the shelves at ONE WISH PROJECT. As of this morning we are at 1900 gifts donated... we are almost there!

We are halfway through the first week of our ONE MAGICAL WISH - and we are at 500 gifts!! Let's keep up the great work to reach our goal of 2,500 gifts donated by next Friday!
Everyone is decorating for the holidays but when it comes to the Garland.......... Sue is not happy that David and Kendra use faux garland instead of real.
Everyone loves their birthday (maybe not as much as David O'Leary) but nonetheless, we all have a favorite birthday memory or gift that we JUST LOVED so much!
As we kickoff our 2nd Annual One MAGICAL Wish Holiday Campaign, we talked with One With Project Founder Hannah Finn about what these birthday celebrations mean for so many children throughout Greater Boston.

Our MAGIC listeners called in to share their feelings about how long a house guest should stay...
When people stay at your house, or if you stay at as a guest... what is the longest amount of time that you would stay? A weekend? A week?
The MAGIC listeners called in and gave their opinion on Kendra bringing her own Tupperware for leftovers...
Let's talk leftovers. Do you bring them home? David and Sue think it's VERY STRANGE that Kendra brings her own Tupperware and Ziplock bags for leftovers...
David's dryer broke last night -- two days before Thanksgiving, and right before guests are coming to his house... Why do (only the expensive, big items) always break right before a big holiday or event?
The MAGIC listeners had some fabulous choices when it came to their dream team the Thanksgiving table!
If you could pick any famous person (past or present) to be sitting at your Thanksgiving table... who would you want? Sue picked Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Michelle Obama and Princess Diana; David picked Bob Hoover; and Kendra picked The Golden Girls Cast and Whitney Houston.
Since David and Sue had a little trouble remembering the words... we decided to ask our listeners about the 12 Days of Christmas...
Since we are flipping to Christmas music today at 5pm, Kendra wanted to test David and Sue on their HOLIDAY LYRIC KNOWLEGE... Think you know all the words to your favorite Christmas songs?
Are you one of the brave souls daring to be in a grocery store this weekend? If so... we asked our listeners to describe the vibe in a SONG TITLE and the answers were hilarious!

What are the rules for sitting at "The Kids Table" at Thanksgiving? And when can you graduate to the adults table?
Our listeners shared their feelings on whether you should dress up on Thanksgiving and Christmas...
For Thanksgiving and Christmas, David, Sue and Kendra want to be fancy... they want to dress nice, but for our MAGIC listeners it was split 50/50. Be dressy VS be casual on the holidays.
Another day without Taylor Swift tickets for Sue. After waiting another day online trying to buy tickets to the May 2023 show, still no luck!
After spending hours yesterday trying to get tickets... Sue was among the millions who did not get Taylor Swift tickets. BUT........ our midday host Jen Toohey did!!! We talked with her this morning about the hugely dramatic day.
One of our listeners called in to share her experience waiting online for hours to get Taylor Swift tickets.. and then paid $2,100 dollars for 3 tickets!!
If you were one of the 8 billion people trying to get Taylor Swift tickets yesterday, then you were not alone in the frustration of NOT BEING ABLE to get into the Ticketmaster site. It made national news ... the entire website crashed.
We all have Thanksgiving traditions... but what do you do AFTER Thanksgiving? Decorate for Christmas? Watch Holiday movies? Go Black Friday shopping?
At what point do you officially put on the heavy, puffer winter coat? And do you keep the winter stuff totally away or is it close by, because you know, New England...
Sue has been waiting to buy Taylor Swift tickets and she even signed up weeks ago be a "verified fan" BUT... alas, she got waitlisted!
David is apparently not alone with his loaded drawer of T-shirts.. but then one of our listeners called in with an AWESOME idea of what to do with all those T-shirts......... you can turn them into blankets!
We all have an item of clothing that is overflowing in our drawers... for Kendra it's sweatshirts, but for David its T-Shirts... he literally has about 7 categories to separate them!
Our MAGIC Listeners called in to share their favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal... aside from the turkey!
We like the turkey but to David, Sue and Kendra, it's not always the star of the Thanksgiving meal... we like the sides!!!
Sue drives to work on Route 1 (through Saugus) and today she shared her feelings on the brightness level of some of the signs...
David called in from New York after completing the NYC Marathon in 5:01:28!! We are so proud of him and all the work he does for Team AFSP!
Our MAGIC listeners have enlightened us A LOT today... We never knew about the Aluminum Foil trick!!
Did you know the gas light on the dashboard tells you what side to get gas on? Did you know that the plastic sing around Gatorade bottles have an easy pull apart tab? Yea... mind blown today!!
What is going on?? It's 8:30am and there is still no Powerball drawing. We are started to really wonder what is happening! We want to win!!
Now that it's raking and leaf blowing season. How early is TOO early to start the leaf blowers in your neighborhood? 7am? 8am? 9am?
Last nights GIGANTIC Powerball drawing ($1.9 Billion) was delayed because of "technical difficulties" and now we are all starting to wonder what is going on....

David, Sue and Kendra talked with MA State Lottery Interim Executive Director and Assistant Treasurer Mark Bracken about the odds of winning the big Powerball jackpot!
We asked... and oh wow, our MAGIC listeners answered. The craziest things you've ever thrown out include a checkbook and grandma's teeth.
We had some fun with Michael Karras of Innovative Waste Systems to go behind the scenes on the funny things people throw out.
There is a new trash rule in Massachusetts: we can't throw away mattresses, clothes, shoes or fabric...
Since the big drawing is tonight, David was thinking about buying a ticket, and Kendra is convinced that either David or Sue will win because they don't play as often as she does.
Last week Sue had a great idea that when the Powerball reaches over $500 million, and the cash payout is over $300 million, everyone in the U.S. should get $1 million. Well, there is a small problem with that math.
Our MAGIC listeners called in to share what they love about the holidays... specifically Thanksgiving!
Kendra feels bad for Thanksgiving. She thinks it gets lost between Halloween and Christmas, but David and Sue say it's their favorite! It got us wondering... WHO ARE THE THANKSGIVING PEOPLE?
David, Sue and Kendra recapped Halloween -- for Sue and Kendra it involved trick or treaters, lots of candy and some eyeball Jell-O shots.
The last time there was a large jackpot, David and Sue wrote down what they would give to each other IF they won. David wrote down $5 million, while Sue originally had $2 million but then realized it was too much to give away, so she "Kendra'd" it and took it down to $1 million.
MAGIC Listeners to the rescue! They called in and had the most hilarious Halloween costume ideas for Sue and her husband Tom... DUM DUM lollipops!
Sue and her husband Tom are going to a Halloween party this weekend and she wants to do a couples costume -- but she wants it low maintenance, and super funny.
Since neither Sue nor Kendra won the Powerball Jackpot... Sue came up with an idea to give everyone a million dollars, once it becomes what she is calling, "Stupid Money."
Day 2 of David's man-cold -- both Sue and Kendra want him to go home and get rest.. plus our listeners had some great SICK DAY MUST HAVE tips for him!
David, Sue and Kendra all seem to be battling the PILE WARS in their houses. Between the clothes wrapped inside out on the bathroom floor, the cups stacked all over the house and the socks continuously dropped along the entire hallway....
Having a cold is kind of like spraining your ankle. There's nothing you can really do, it's super annoying and it just has to "run its course!"
David VS Sue. Who do you think can go an entire week ONLY USING CASH and no credit cards? A lot of our listeners think Sue will win but Kendra thinks David's got this all day.
Boston native Bridget Lawler's Tik Tok video went VIRAL after she surprised her dad on camera, telling him that she's running the Boston Marathon. His reaction is SO BOSTON!! She is running to raise money for the Mass for Miracles team for Boston Children's Hospital. The video has more than a half MILLION views!!
David, Sue and Kendra talked with Peggie Ritzer about the Kindness 4 Colleen Blood Drive happening today in memory Colleen Ritzer The Colleen E Ritzer Memorial Fund is hosting the Bloodmobile at St. Augustine Church (43 Essex Street, Andover, MA) TODAY from 9am-3pm.
Since UK Prime Minister Lizz Truss was only in office for 45 days... David quizzed Sue and Kendra about certain things that may have lasted longer or shorter than her job.
It's still Halloween time, but there are actually people out there who have finished Christmas shopping... And no, its not David, Sue or Kendra.
We opened the candy drawer... and it was pretty empty, so David and Sue want Kendra to buy the next round. The only problem? Kendra is the cheapest person on the planet... it'll be hard to convince her.
Is Halloween more for kids or adults? It seems as though the adults have slowly taken it over. David, Sue and Kendra were laughing about some of the funny and very creative costumes they've either BEEN or SEEN.
It was pretty amazing. Exactly one hour after she spilled her coffee all over her desk; Sue spilled her coffee AGAIN, this time it went all the way down her shirt.
We're off to a messy start because Sue spilled her coffee EVERYWHERE, just minutes before the mics turned on.
The Instagram sensation "Sea Lion Bryan" (real name Bryan Martin) heard us talking about how much we loved his Instagram Reels.... he called into our show!
Have you ever reached into your couch and found a surprise? Maybe some money, leftover food, remote control batteries... or a bra?
Today was a strange day. Both Sue and Kendra got to the station BEFORE David... Kendra usually rolls in on two wheels...with a minute to spare.
So last week we were talking about our favorite HAPPY Instagram reels to follow -- and Sea Lion Bryan was one of them... Turns out, he heard us talking about him and he's from BOSTON!!
David, Sue and Kendra talked with Cheryl Avola, she's a personal trainer and Pickleball player who gave us all the details on this new trendy game!
Doesn't it seem like everyone is taking family photos - all the time- for no reason? And how do they get everyone to be smiling and all dressed alike??
It's no surprise to David and Sue that Kendra would drive to work with an empty gas tank. Today was one of those days that Kendra had the "Just help me get there" talk with her car.
Sue and David are excellent nappers... but we wondered if the MAGIC listeners like to nap and what are the "rules" for WHERE and HOW you take naps?
We have certain social media accounts that we follow -- and they are a guarantee to make you smile and laugh. Some of our favorites are "Sea Lion Bryan", "Emmanuel Don't Do It" and the "Dog Shaming!"
Sue and Kendra smell something "rubbery" in the hallway. Usually its burnt toast or popcorn that went just a bit too long -- but the smell police are still investigating.
The instant that Sue and Kendra get home, they change out of work clothes... jeans off, shoes off. David keeps everything on, and shoes tied, all day until it's literally time to go to bed.
When Kendra came in this morning there was a little spooky surprise waiting for her. It was a giant skeleton dog from our colleagues down the hall...
The MAGIC listeners called in all morning to talk about the first concert they ever went to... and if their parents ever went WITH THEM?!!
Kendra's daughter is very excited to go a concert on a school night... but the question we have: Did anyone's parents go with them to a concert? (As in-- into the show?) It seems to be the trend.....
Kendra found money in her pocket yesterday -- and David lost money (a pretty big chunk) while food shopping.... Sue and Kendra think he should go back to the store and try to find it.
Just as Kendra was about to do the traffic report... David remembered that Kendra had a Rob Thomas song as her wedding song... but when he asked her the name of it, she couldn't remember the name of it!
When you go to a restaurant, do you have specific rules for what you WILL and WON'T take home in a doggie bag??
UPS made an announcement that they were looking for seasonal workers so Sue thinks she could do it... David and Kendra reminded that it involves driving a truck and not talking for 20 minutes to every person you see....
MAGIC listeners to the rescue! They called in with great tips for Sue on how to respond to a random text message from an UNSAVED contact number!
Sue got a text form someone who CLEARLY knows her, but she has no idea who it is... so how do you respond in a polite way to say "Ummmm who are you?
David is preparing to run the New York Marathon and during his training, he's been taking freezing cold - Ice Baths... Sue and Kendra had a few questions...
The MAGIC listeners called in and shared hilarious things they found in the walls of their houses....
David found days old scrambled eggs left in the bathroom and Kendra found 200 fruit snack wrappers stuffed behind the dryer.. So we asked the listeners what random thing/food/object they found in their house.
Sue is back after being gone for a week to help her parents down in Florida after Hurricane Ian. She gave us a recap of the damage and the crazy travel adventure she and her brother had to go through just to fly down!
David and Kendra talked with Patrick Halloran of Fiddleheads Consignment in Canton about the growing trend of shopping second hand.
Goodwill is launching an online version of their store for those that love to shop second hand (GoodWillFinds.com). Kendra has always been a thrift store shopper but now it seems to be growing in trend... everyone is doing it!!
Doesn't everyone have a million bottles of salad dressing on their dinner table? Iceberg lettuce, 2 tomatoes and a million options to choose when it comes to salad dressing.... David and Kendra still have the "SALAD DRESSING" row in their fridge.
Most of our MAGIC listeners do both socks at the same... but David had a few on his side (with sock/shoe/sock/shoe)!
When you get dressed in the morning: Is it SOCK, SOCK, SHOE, SHOE (like Kendra) or SOCK, SHOE, SOCK, SHOE (like David)?
There are those of us who call the handyman... and then there's David. He actually fixed his stove, but then when he pulled the stove away from the wall... there was an abundance of .......... EVERYTHING.
Sue checked in this morning from Florida as she is helping her parents recover from Hurricane Ian. She shared some helpful tips on how others can help those in need.
Of course we had to have Karen call in and share the things she pretends to like.... and one of them included "selfie takers" -- which is something David is known for!!
David and Kendra talked about the things that most of us pretend to like... you know, like working out first thing in the morning... eating salad all the time... and pf course we had the MAGIC listeners chime in!
David and Kendra continue to talk with David's neighbor Charlie who turns 104 years old!
David's neighbor, Charles, will be turning 104 years old in the next few weeks so we wanted to talk with him about the secret to longevity -- and wondered "What would you want to ask a 104 yr old?'
David and Kendra talked with Henry Swenson, he's only 20 years old and he's one of the youngest pumpkin growers in the region. His giant pumpkin weighed in at 1,197 pounds at The Topsfield Fair this year; Henry came in 12th place. The winning pumpkin weighed in at 2,480 pounds and set a new Topsfield Fair record.
David has a neighbor that is turning 104 years old, so we wondered WHAT IS HIS SECRET?? We asked the listeners to call in with their questions for someone that has lived as long as David's neighbor has. Soooo many questions!!
Since Kendra's husband is working the police detail at The Topsfield Fair, we are sending him on a mission to find the Fried Butter Sticks... we need to see what these things look like!!
The Topsfield Fair opens today and runs through October 10, so we started looking at all the food and the attractions -- and this year Sue introduced us to The Racing Pigs!
Loved talking with Boston comedian Steve Sweeney about his new comedy venue THE COMEDY DEN, located in the Fox and Hound Restaurant in Quincy. He has two shows: tonight and Sunday night! He also stars in the new movie, The Greatest Beer Run (with Zac Efron, Billy Murray and Russell Crowe), opening in theatres today!
David, Sue and Kendra talked with Chef Jason Santos about his new cookbook SIMPLY FANCY, being a new dad.... and he's back on the new season of Hell's Kitchen premiering TONIGHT on FOX.
Most of us love our neighbors but there is nothing quite like an AWESOME, BAD NEIGHBOR story, and we have a few....
Sue's parents, Shirley and Jerry, called in from the Southwest Coast of Florida.. as they are right in the middle of the Hurricane heading their way. They have food, shelter and individual bottles of wine!
Did you buy Halloween candy yet? Sue and David brought some in today.. Kendra (of course, did not) but she did get a little judgy on the kind of candy corn that David brought in...
Turns out Kendra is not the only person who uses feet lotion right before bedtime...One of our MAGIC listeners called in to share tips on the moisturizing.
What do you keep on your nightstand? David and Sue have stacks of books, about 7 remote controls and a million phone chargers.... but they think its strange that Kendra uses (and keeps) feet lotion on her nightstand.
A strange coincidence but David, Sue and Kendra all have medical procedures this week. So they started oversharing and comparing who will have the most awkward moment in the hospital gown.
Our listeners called in to share the moments when they realized they were officially adults... (turning off the lights in every room "to save money" and getting excited about new flavors of salad dressing).
At what point did you realize that you were officially an adult? Maybe when you started getting excited about shopping at Home Improvement stores? Or when you start planning your dinner ahead of time, and (defrosting it in the morning!)
Our listeners are pretty split even when it comes to either using the DRIVE-THRU or choosing to actually WALK IN.
Sue and Kendra cannot believe that David NEVER ever does the Drive-Thru, ever.... not even for coffee. He always opts to WALK IN so that he can talk to people....
In case you didn't know, there are rules for decorating... just ask Sue. There is a very specific difference between HARVEST and HALLOWEEN. David and Kendra are just trying to follow along.
Morning MAGIC's David O'Leary hosted the first hour of the "I'm Listening" broadcast and we hope you'll tune in to hear conversations with Commissioner Brooke Doyle of MA Department of Mental Health, Dr. Matt Nock of Harvard University, Karen Tokarz Carreira of AFSP's MA Chapter, and Jessica van der Stad, Executive Director of American Foundation for Suicide Prevention - Massachusetts Chapter. Mental health matters to ALL of us! Big thanks to MAGIC 106.7 and our parent company Audacy for the platform to help save lives!
David, Sue and Kendra talked with Nancy Quill, who was the midday host at MAGIC for many years, and is being inducted into the Massachusetts Broadcasters Hall of Fame. We are so proud of Nancy and we congratulate her on a well-deserved accolade.
Sue has been handwashing her dishes and David's oven just keeps heating up until it reaches 600 degrees... so they both have, what we are calling "the broken appliance blues."
David could not believe that Sue and Kendra unzip and unbutton their pants when they are sitting in the car driving... Doesn't everyone do that for comfort??
We had calls from our listeners sharing their opinions and experiences on doing Self-Checkout in stores.
There are those us who LOVE to do Self-Checkout (like David and Kendra) and then there are people like Sue.... she needs the people.
Both David and Kendra are making pizza for dinner tonight so they both turned to Sue and asked her if she would ever consider making her own pizza dough... HAHAHAHAHA! (Never gonna happen)
Since Sue is the QUEEN of all things Royal here on our show, David and Kendra decided to test her knowledge of The Royal Family.
Our listeners called in to tell us WHO or WHAT they would wait in a looooooooooong line for!
With the Queens funeral being today, and seeing people wait for over 24 hours in line to pay their respects, we started thinking about WHO we would wait in line to see.
David, Sue and Kendra talked with David Koechner (The Office, The Goldbergs, Anchorman movies) about his upcoming shows at Laugh Boston this weekend. We also played a little game "Trivia with Todd Packer" to see how well he remembered his Office character.
We have all had that moment when you sit at a restaurant - or at the bar- and someone sits down next to you..... Usually its fine to have a casual conversation, but David got stuck next to a Stage 5 Clinger, who talked to him THE ENTIRE NIGHT..
You haven't officially become a parent until you've either forgotten to pick child up from school, lost them in a mall or told them shake off an injury (only to get a call from the school nurse!) We have all had parenting fails!
Todays question and pet peeve: Why are there tags still on shirts? Sue is having some tag issues... there are scissors and a lot of fabric involved this morning.
Some days our wallets stay dry ... and other days they fall into the sink, into a giant pot of warm soap filled water.
We have a winner people! One of our MAGIC listeners wins the day of what is in your freezer.... she has two deceased hamsters (former pets) wrapped in a Michaels craft box, inside the side door of her freezer.
Another MAGIC Listener called in to share that she keeps candles in the freezer; apparently it freezes the wax which causes it to melt much more slowly.
Sue and Kendra thought that David keeping an 18 yr old crayfish (class pet that had passed on) in his fridge was strange... until our MAGIC listener called in to tell us about George the bird.....
David made the mistake of sharing that he has multiple chicken carcasses and an old class pet (a crayfish named "Scamper") in his garage freezer........
Our MAGIC listeners say they could never have the patience to wait for weekly episodes if Netflix ever stopped releasing entire seasons at once.
There were recent reports that said Netflix was contemplating removing their binge-release models, meaning you'd have to wait weekly for new episodes. (Like the good ol' days). Could we do it?? Do we have the patience??
It's always interesting on this morning show, and today we discovered that Sue may be allergic to Kendra's coconut lotion... she's been sneezing and itching -- so we are blaming Kendra!
One of our MAGIC listeners called in to give us her scoop on the Tom and Gisele decisions...
Speaking of the "couples decision" Sue and Kendra are now speculating that Gisele is making the decision for Tom to be done with football after this year...
Every couple has the decision maker. The one person who often makes the decision for "the house/the couple/the family." David, Sue and Kendra shared their stories....
David, Sue and Kendra talked with the Chief Foreign Correspondent of People Magazine about the death of Queen Elizabeth II and what happens next, now that Prince Charles is the King.
Queen Elizabeth passed away yesterday at 96 years old and Sue (who is a Royals fanatic) is very very sad....
MAGIC listeners called in and shared their most loved purchases... some were pricey and others they found in the trash and made them special!
We have something we bought that (was maybe a little expensive) but we love it and use it so much, that it's worth every penny....For David, it's his coffee maker; For Sue it's her wine fridge; and for Kendra its her Peloton bike!
This is amazing. One of our listeners called in to share their experience telling people to stop using their speaker phone while sitting in a public place.
It could be the biggest pet peeve of all time. People using speaker phone in public, while in line, at a store or in the doctors office!!
We are not the only Bostonians who haven't done the typical "New England touristy thing" ... One of our MAGIC listeners has never been to the Cape!
It's almost impossible to believe but David, Sue and Kendra have never done the Freedom Trail or been to some of the most famous Boston landmarks, like Sullivan's on Castle Island!
In honor of National Beer Lovers Day, David, Sue and Kendra decided to reminisce about the epic moment on our morning show we are calling: "The Beer Incident of 2018."
One of our MAGIC listeners had the right idea.. she goes to Aruba every year in September to get away from the fall madness!
Now that we've entered September, when do you officially make the FALL SWITCH? You know, swapping out bathing suits for sweaters, closing the pool, saying goodbye to beach days?
Sue is back from her vacation sipping wine in Napa Valley, California... and frankly, we're surprised she even came back!
Glenn Frommer, who was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease (PKD), will officially be completing the RideForPKD, today in Pocasset... When complete, Glenn will have cycled 5,500 miles (1.4 million pedal strokes), and climbed 225,000 feet over 100 days from San Francisco, CA to Cape Cod, MA while raising $580,000 for the PKD Foundation! Wow.
It's well documented that we love food on Morning MAGIC.. So when David and Kendra asked the listeners to share their favorite ALWAYS-GO-TO-APPETIZERS - there was no shortage of deliciousness to share!
Since Boston was named the 5th rudest city in America (by Bostonians), we wanted to ask our listeners about the rudest thing they've ever witnessed. One person had the best story - getting cut off in a coffee drive thru!!
The girlfriend of one of our colleagues stopped by to say hi to David and Kendra today, which got us thinking about our spouses visiting us at work. Would you want your spouse or partner to hang out with you at work?? Hmm.... that could be hit or miss!
David, Sue and Kendra talked with the host of Paramount Network's BAR RESCUE about his new restaurant Taffer's Tavern opening in Watertown, plus, we played a little game called Food Faux Pas No Bostonian Should Ever Commit!
Loved talking with Mike Keiley, Director of Adoption Centers and Programs for the MSPCA, about National Dog Day and how others can find out about adopting a pet.
It's National Dog Day so of course we had to honor our pups today. Plus one of our MAGIC listeners shared that he has 5 dogs... all with names from the Toy Story movies.
If you were going on vacation to Napa Valley to sip wine and eat cheese in California for a week, wouldn't you be EXCITED?? Sue is quite overwhelmed as she prepares for a week in wine country.
David and Kendra are in the dog house (ironically on National Dog Day) because they didn't notice Sue's haircut....
Yup, our MAGIC listeners are with us.. they keep the stuff too. Plus we had a great tip to donate the stuffed animals to the local Police and Fire Departments.
David, Sue and Kendra are wondering if they are the only ones with piles and piles of their kids artwork and homemade creations just sitting in bins around the house...
We are just 7 days away from Allston Christmas. It happens every year on September 1st, the day where many students shove their stuff into boxes, get their U-Hauls "storrowed" as they move into a new apartment. But it also means that you may be able to find some FREE furniture, clothing, and food on the curb.
For 6 years in a row UMass Amherst was named for having the BEST FOOD ON CAMPUS -- David and Sue's kids both attended UMass; Kendra was a graduate as well, so we decided to talk with Garett DiStefano about the incredible Dining Hall Program.
One of our MAGIC listeners called in to say that he has no internet, no email and doesn't put the TV on until 4pm!
David lost internet and his cable almost for 24 hours - which got us wondering how anyone could go without TV and social media!!
Turns out David isn't the only one who likes to talk with strangers sitting next to him on a bus... our MAGIC listeners don't mind it either!
If you're on a crowded bus, would you (or DO YOU) talk to the stranger sitting next to you? Sue and Kendra say NO WAY - they want to be left alone, but David on the other hand, would strike up a full conversation!
David ran the Falmouth Road Race over the weekend but that wasn't the highlight of his day: it was actually when he forgot to lock the door on the Port-O-Potty and someone opened the door.......
At 8:30 this morning, Kendra finally made it back to the station... it was a Blue Bike success!!
Pahhk your bike in Havaaad .... Square? Yep, that's where Kendra is. She made to Harvard Square on the Blue Bike. Now, she needs to make it back to the station.....
Second check in with Kendra on the Blue Bike: She's at Harvard Stadium.... and very sweaty already.
And she's off.. David and Sue checked in with Kendra and she was only about 5 feet from the starting point...
Today is the day... David and Sue are sending Kendra out on a Blue Bike to see what it's like for the commuters who will be using them more often because of the MBTA shut down of the Orange and Green lines.
As we prepare for the chaos with the shutdown of the MBTA Orange and Green Lines... David and Sue decided to send Kendra (the one who hasn't ridden a bike in about 15 years) out on Monday morning, to find and then ride, a Blue Bike in Boston.
With the soon to be shut down of the Orange and Green Lines, more people are going to be biking... which means we need to ask the experts at Landry's Bicycles on what to expect! Plus if you you haven't ridden a bike in a while, Jeremy has some great tips for you.
One of our MAGIC listeners called in with the memory of one teacher who left a lasting impression.........
Back to school is happening!! So in honor of the greatest time of the year for parents... we thought to ask about the listeners about their favorite grade in school.
Since the Orange and Green Lines on the MBTA are about to shut down for a month... we wondered how ... . how... how... this is going to look for the people who rely on public transportation?!
David, Sue and Kendra talked with Actor/Comedian/Author Paul Reiser... best known for creating and starring in NBC’s MAD ABOUT YOU. You can see him currently in Netflix's The Kominsky Method and as Dr. Sam Owens in the global phenomenon “Stranger Things.” He's coming to The Cabot Theatre in October!
Its National Massachusetts Day, so of course David, Sue and Kendra asked the listeners to share their best ONLY IN BOSTON WHEN -sayings...
One of our listeners called in and shared that he saved money to buy his first house, and moved out at 21 -- he never went back and he's an electrician-- so he can fix anything!!
How old were you when you finally, officially, moved out of mom and dads house? David was 17, Sue was 23 and then Kendra.... was 28.
We love our receptionist Rachel and we want to find her true love.... but it may have to wait. She had a first date over the weekend and it didn't really go as planned. He was a Stage 5 clinger.
Since our receptionist Rachel went on a First Date, we thought we'd ask the MAGIC listeners about their First Date Fails... you know, the funniest ones.. and then we heard from listener Diane.
Wow did we hit a cord this morning.... the MAGIC listeners keep calling in hysterics, laughing about Kendra and the Buy Nothing page on Facebook. Some of them also drive around town for free stuff, while others are offering Kendra their plants... HA!
The MAGIC listeners have been calling all morning about Kendra driving across town to get free cream cheese and leftover plants from people on the Buy Nothing Facebook page..
Sue was beside herself today when Kendra told her she was driving around town to pick up people's leftover plants and vegetables. Its the "Buy Nothing" page on Facebook and most people use it for items -- not food or plants -- but then there's Kendra....
Sue and Kendra want to know if they are the only ones singing to themselves and having vent sessions in the car, when they are alone.
So many recipes... so hungry to eat them all! Our Morning MAGIC listeners called in with their favorite family recipes for Sue and Kendra to steal, I mean, share...... LOL
In an attempt to make her mom's homemade marinara sauce... yesterday Sue spent the afternoon in her kitchen trying to replicate the delicious family recipe!
Our MAGIC listeners have been calling all morning about how much they love doing puzzles. It seems like everyone loves doing the 1,500 piece ones!!!
Sue and Kendra discovered a newfound love for doing puzzles! Whether it's a 500, 1,000 or even a 1,500 piece puzzle... they are sooo into it. They want a permanent puzzle table in their living rooms...
Our MAGIC listeners mostly agree that it's too early for Pumpkins, Witches and Spice Lattes. After September 1.. bring on the fall -- but not yet.
It's the second week in August and the Pumpkin coffees are out... Halloween decorations are in stores and Sue and Kendra think its WAAAAYY TOO EARLY!!!
David and Kendra talked with Billy Starr about the 43rd annual Pan Mass Challenge this weekend. Billy founded the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) in 1980 to benefit the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute via the Jimmy Fund.
Of course David and Kendra had to ask the listeners to share their Most Memorable Moving Fails, in honor of David moving his girls into an apartment during the heat wave.
David is getting ready to move his daughters into an apartment this weekend... good thing it's going to be 100,000 degrees. Oh, and did we mention that he'll be driving the U-Haul for about 400 miles?!
Who better to answer all of our flower and vegetable garden questions, than Jen Porter from Rivers Edge Garden Center in Framingham! Both David and Kendra desperately trying to salvage their plants in the heat.. and Jen had awesome tips for all of us!
Most of our MAGIC listeners said they never want to get a text super early but some said they don't mind!
David and Kendra wondered if everyone set a time limit for when it's OK to send and receive a text... like maybe NOT BEFORE 7am and NOT AFTER 10pm?
All of our MAGIC listeners agreed that we need to have a class that teaches basic life skills to our kids and the next generation!
David, Sue and Kendra wish they had LIFE SKILL classes in school... and then started thinking about all the real life skills that our kids need to be learning too! Handwriting, Balancing a Budget, How To Change a Tire, Cooking!
We are pretty close on this morning show but today we reached a new level. Sue had chunks of blueberries stuck in her teeth so she (literally) asked David to floss her teeth. And he did. Hands in her mouth and all.
Turns out we aren't the only ones with bad habits. The MAGIC listeners are right there with us!!
Swearing, eating junk food, impulsive shopping... we all have bad habits that we would like to change, but today David, Sue and Kendra learned that maybe some of those habits aren't so bad for you....
As we approach the anniversary of the Shrinking Yoga Pants and Flamin Hot Cheetos, David and Kendra discussed the ways OTHER people have destroyed the laundry in their house.
David and Kendra both have gardens but with the extreme heat -- how is anyone keeping their veggies alive???
In honor of the glorious MBTA fail yesterday, we came up with the Top 10 Modes Of Transportation That Would Be Faster Than Taking The T.
When your kids pay for your dinner... when you buy a new vacuum... and even when you cut the grass. Yes our listeners agree that these are the little things that excite us -- AS ADULTS.
Kendra shared that she is FINALLY getting trash pick up and hasn't stopped talking about it, which got us thinking about what gets us excited AS ADULTS.
Sue is taking her brother out for his 50th birthday ... and they are going to an Escape Room. If you've ever been to an Escape Room, you know that there is always one person who takes charge in the adventure....David and Kendra both know that will be Sue.
Veterinarian Dr. Lindsay Renzullo of Bulger Animal Hospital was on with David, Sue and Kendra with some great tips on keeping your pets cool when the temperature gets super hot!
Loved hearing from our MAGIC listeners about how they keep their animals cool when it gets super hot outside!
So there's a new kind of lottery happening in Massachusetts and (shocker) Kendra wants to win it. Its a License Plate Lottery - where one lucky winner will get a range from two to four digits in length and include combinations like 36, 1H, and Z7.
If you are of a certain age, you remember the Ice Cream Truck -- and you remember your favorite item to order!!!
It's wicked hot today and ironically it's also HOT DOG DAY. But who decided that Hot Dogs have to go with Beans -- and why isn't it ok to put ketchup on your dog?
David and Kendra were talking about ways people in the city can stay cool in the heat-- and then without hesitation, Sue says she wants to put in a PLUNGE POOL.
The MAGIC listeners called in with some of their GO TO work outfits when it starts to get stupid hot outside.....
When it gets to be SUPER HOT outside, what do you wear to work? Do you go more casual? Or do you need to dress in layers?
In addition to the smart shopping cart, Kendra also claims she came up with other inventions first -- like the side socket and even a mosquito bite suction thing!
Amazon is launching "Dash Carts" at the Whole Foods in Westford-- They are smart shopping carts with an onboard computer screen that tracks what you buy when you place items in the cart. Kendra claims she had this invention idea years ago!
Rowdy, a black cat, who escaped from her kennel at Logan Airport and was lost in the airport for 3 weeks... then finally reunited with her owner on Saturday. We talked with Patty Sahli her owner, about the crazy adventure!
Without saying your age, name something that was trendy when you were a kid.... Puffalumps, Cabbage Patch Kids, Jelly Shoes, The Inchworm Bike....Our listeners had some great responses!
David, Sue and Kendra caught up with Pop Icon Taylor Dayne backstage at The Verve in Natick, over the weekend. Her show was amazing, the crowd was fantastic and we had THE BEST TIME EVER!!
Congrats to Mike from Dracut, he was the winner of our TELL ME YOU GREW UP IN THE 80'S WITHOUT TELLING ME YOU GREW UP IN THE 80'S -- "CLOTHING" Theme! Mike won a pair of tickets to join us on 7/16 for the Taylor Dayne show!
Would you be a fan of the FOUR day work week? Swampscott testing it out with their municipal employees. Would you work a longer day to make it happen? We say YES PLEASE!!!
Congrats to Jeff from Allston, he was the winner of our TELL ME YOU GREW UP IN THE 80'S WITHOUT TELLING ME YOU GREW UP IN THE 80'S -- "MOVIES" Theme! Jeff won a pair of tickets to join us on 7/16 for the Taylor Dayne show!
It's not just us.. our listeners also have certain words that they NEVER want to hear anyone to say to them!!
We all have words or phrases that we never like hearing, like .... "calm down" ... "relax" ... "take it down a notch" --- yup, those are the trigger words for the three of us!
David and Sue cant leave their house without having a cup of coffee FIRST. In fact, it's a part of their morning routine... however they cannot fathom that Kendra leaves her house in the dark and doesn't make a cup UNTIL she gets to work. Whhhhhhaatt!
Congrats to Terry from Peabody, she was the winner of our TELL ME YOU GREW UP IN THE 80'S WITHOUT TELLING ME YOU GREW UP IN THE 80'S -- "SPORTS MOMENTS" Theme! Terry won a pair of tickets to join us on 7/16 for the Taylor Dayne show!
Taylor Dayne is coming to The Verve in Natick on Saturday July 16th and we have an amazing chance for our listeners to join us! David, Sue and Kendra will be hosting the event and since everything 80's is back... YOU NEED TO BE THERE!!
Joey Chestnut won his 15th Nathans Hot Dog Championship by downing 63 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes. But that wasn't the highlight... a protester came up on stage and without a hesitation Joey Chestnut took him down, and then finished the competition.
David and Kendra are getting some pretty fabulous road trip tips from the MAGIC Listeners...
The long holiday weekend is here… and there will be a lot of road trips happening right now… so What’s your secret to a successful voyage in the car? Do you pack snacks? Maybe play the license plate game?
Netflix crashed this morning after the highly anticipated release of the final two episodes Stranger Things 4. Problems started around 3 am ET — because so many users were trying to stream it at the same time! Kendra is just hoping not to see any spoilers on social media before the end of the day.
David and Kendra surprised listener Anita Howell on the air as she was the grand prize winner for the VIP Experience for Josh Groban concert!!!
David are getting some delicious ideas for BBQ side dishes after listening to the yummy array of foods our listeners suggested!!
Mac Salad with salad dressing... Oreo Cookie Jello Shots... That all sounds good to David and Kendra!! The Backyard BBQ's are happening. What are you bringing?
Even though it's National Handshake Day - both David and Kendra agree that they would rather hug than give a handshake... especially because some people shake too hard and they crush your fingers!
David Allan Boucher called into Morning MAGIC to say his final goodbye to David and Kendra as this is the final week of Bedtime MAGIC after 40 years on the air.
David and Kendra talked with Triple A's Car Doctor, John Paul, about what to expect if you're heading out to travel over the holiday weekend. He has some great tips on how to prepare your car, and what to know about drive times.
The MAGIC Listeners responded swiftly when asked about the foods their spouses LOVE TO MAKE but they can't stand... SPAM is definitely one of them!!
For David its Anchovies.... for Kendra its Onions... We all have foods that our spouses LOVE TO MAKE but we just can't stand.
David found this story- Apparently Bed Bath and Beyond stopped using air conditioning in an effort to lower costs and to make up for a slump in sales…. The company responded to say that any changes in temperature guidelines did not come from corporate… Meanwhile every person shopping for a new apartment instantly sweating..
Loved talking with Matt Shea, the Vice President of the ATLAS PYROVISION ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, about the upcoming Boston Pops 4th of July Spectacular. He also has some great tips on fireworks safety!
Some of our listeners LIKED not having their phones with them... it was kind of freeing!! (but only if you are going down the street, LOL).
Kendra isn't alone... our listeners called in to give examples of the lengths they have gone to get their phones after accidentally leaving them at home!
Summer travel plans are underway but what would you do if you forgot your phone at home??? Would you drive back? Kendra said she would go back at least a half hour.... David set his limit at 10 minutes.
Since we all know that Alexa is ALWAYS listening - Kendra suggested that you put your phones and Alexa in the microwave when you are having private conversations... somehow the microwave blocks it from hearing you??
Our listeners call in and give their views on whether they'd like having Alexa talk to them in a past relatives voice..... some like the idea!!!
Amazon is working on a new feature for Alexa that could allow you to "speak to" a dead family member. All it needs is a one-minute audio clip of the deceased talking. It's unclear when this feature might be released.... Cool or Creepy?
David recapped his recent trip to DC and he ran into a familiar face while helping his daughters search for apartments!
Don't lie, we know that when you drive with your spouse ....one of you makes the other NERVOUS.
Congratulations to Sue and Kendra for winning another Gracie Award for their Exceptional Women Podcast. This year, Sue and Kendra won for BEST INTERVIEW FEATURE for their interview with Golden Globe and Emmy winning actress Kyra Sedgwick. We are so proud of them!
For a few hours last week, drivers in Northern California got the deal of a lifetime — a Shell station sold fuel for $0.69 a gallon. The manager John Szczecina was supposed to set the price at $6.99 but he misplaced the decimal point.
Our listeners called in to share their travel stories.. and I think it's clear that you are either a Hotel Room person OR someone who can share space (like a house) with another family...
We are all making summer travel plans - but what would your dream accommodations be? A hotel room all to yourself or could you share a house with another family?
Our listeners called in with some awesome trends that they loved before everyone else did... remember Pokemon cards!!
David, Sue and Kendra were venting about that one THING they loved before it became trendy... you know, like Crossfit, Craft Beer -- Two Buck Chuck Wine!
As we prepare to celebrate Fathers Day... we thought it would be fun to test Fiona O'Leary (David's daughter) on how well she knows her dad!
We loved talking with Mary Mahon McCauley Director of the Massachusetts Office on Disability about the recent story of Lizzo changing a derogatory lyric in one of her newest songs.
We laughed, but our Morning MAGIC Listeners still have AOL, Hotmail and all the throwback emails... we even found a listener who was still using a FLIP PHONE!
Today Microsoft officially said goodbye to Internet Explorer.... which got us thinking about OLD TECHNOLOGY..... Who still has an AOL email? Remember Mozilla Firefox?
You never really quite forget your first apartment... mostly because they were filled with bugs, a smelly carpet and stains on the walls.... Oh but we thought those apartments were GLORIOUS!
Loved hearing the MANY MANY (funny and unique) ways that our listeners multi task in the shower!!!
David, Sue and Kendra have different experiences in the shower-- drinking wine, talking on the phone.... maybe exercising?
TripAdvisor ranked Santa’s Village in Jefferson, NH right up there with some world-famous theme parks. The Christmas-themed park came in 9TH on the list of the Top Amusement & Water Parks in the U.S... So we wondered "Who are the Amusement Park people?"
Our listeners are the best. They had PHENOMENAL funny sick day "excuses" and they shared them with us today!
When it's Tuesday, it's 80 and sunny... do you call out sick to work? David, Sue and Kendra got some amazing "call out sick excuses" from the Morning MAGIC listeners!
If you walk into a store and see a sign that says 30% off… Can you immediately do the math in your head? David & Sue think EVERYONE can — but Kendra thinks they are math geniuses.
When Sue or Kendra walk into a store, they won't buy the item unless it's at least 40-50% off. David will do it for 25%... so we wondered what the listeners thought would be a good deal.
Fathers Day is coming up.... so we all started laughing about all the moments we had with our dads when they would say to us: "Shhh, Don't Tell Your Mother!"
Sue has had a LOOOOOOONG week.. late night Celtics games, her eye has something funky going on-- AND -- she went to see the Broadway musical WICKED last night!
Since the Boston Celtics fans are known to be a little wild...especially during the NBA Finals, we had to ask David's brother Mark (who is a season ticket holder) what it's really like to sit courtside!
Kendra is going away this weekend without her kids... its a girls weekend with her friends, and we wondered what most parents dream of doing, when they get that "ME TIME?"
David, Sue and Kendra talked with Elementary Principal Dr. Frank Rothwell about the end of the school year approaching and he has some great ideas for a special teacher gift!
After 40 years, David Allan Boucher, host of Bedtime MAGIC... announced with David, Sue and Kendra, that he is officially retiring from radio! It's the end of an era and we want to congratulate him on an incredible career!!
Have you noticed that the Early 2000's style is back in stores?? David, Sue and Kendra took a peak into their own closets and found some oldies but goodies -- including David's 1984 V66 jacket!
It's no surprise that Boston sports fans are unique... we are loud, we are in your face... and we wouldn't have it any other way. One of our listeners (who was at the Celtics Game 3 last night) called in to describe the atmosphere in the TD Garden!
The new Apple iPhone will now let people delete and edit text messages after they've been sent. Users won't be able to see the message – but they will see that one had been deleted. Likewise, you will be able to edit messages and fix typos. Are we fans or not?
Our listeners called in with their methods of staying up to watch the Celtics Game 3 tonight!
Everyone ready to be up VERRRRRRRRRRRRY LATE? Tipoff is at 9pm which means, David, Sue and Kendra need to either take a nap, or prepare to be in complete pajamas tomorrow morning.
It only took 2 years and 730 days .. but David FINALLY gets the chance to work from home -- with the good ol' Comrex machine!
Loved talking with Bill Wilk, the Executive Director of The Marcus Smart YounGame Changer Foundation. They have teamed up with Boston-based charity The Matthew Wetherbee Fund, to raffle off an amazing package that includes two tickets to Game 3 of the NBA Finals tomorrow night!!
Has the pollen always been this bad? Why does it feel like buckets of green and yellow are being dumped on us-- and when does it end???
As we continue to get some doggy training advice for Sue, we uncovered one of our listeners who has 7 Chihuahuas who behave badly!!! 7 ... 7 DOGS.
Sue is having some trouble training Gracie - she won't come into the house without a piece of cheese.. so we had to ask our listeners for some help.. and one of them suggested Sue "turn her back" to show her dominance LOL!
Sue had to clean out her garage - and her husband Tom was in charge of the three piles: Keep, Donate, Throw Away. So you can imagine how big the THROW AWAY pile was...
This is why we love our listeners.. We mentioned that Sue wanted to get an EGG POD so that she can properly boil an egg and they called in with advice on what to do and where to get it!!
We have the TVs on here in the studio and this morning Sue and Kendra were watching the Home Shopping Network and Sue discovered something called THE EGG POD!
One of our listeners (Sharon) called in and shared an absolutely epic story about what happened when her mom arrived at her high school dance to pick her up... things did not go as planned... HAHA!
Kendra secretly volunteered her husband to chaperone their daughters 6th grade dance tonight... and we are just wondering about all the amazing awkwardness that is to come for poor Emma having her dad there!
What an incredible night last night- at the One Wish Project's "Light a Candle Gala!" We are so grateful to all the listeners, the pastry chefs, the sponsors, the donors and the Andover Country Club for donating the room! We raised just under $50,000!!!
Sue's daughter Katie got scammed a few years ago trying to get a ticket to the Clemson football game - but have no fear, Mama Bear Sue came to rescue and GOT HER INTO THE GAME!
Whoa... have you seen how much it costs to buy a ticket to the NBA Finals???? Celtics tickets are WICKED EXPENSIVE!! David, Sue and Kendra took a look at the courtside seats... OMG.
David, Sue and Kendra talked with Jay Barnes, the founder of a great organization called The Burlington Lawn Mowers Dream Team. They provide free lawn mowing and yard service for residents in need, living in the North Shore area. They are looking for volunteers to help!
Have you ever heard of a BANG THE STEERING WHEEL moment? It’s when you’re driving along and another driver does something so frustrating that you bang the steering wheel. David did this yesterday, and the best part was that he KNEW THE OTHER PERSON!!!
Tomorrow night is THE NIGHT. It's our Light a Candle Gala at the Andover Country Club and we want you to be there as we celebrate One Wish Project and their mission to provide birthday celebrations to children and teens living in homeless shelters and foster homes .... In fact, we'll give you 10 (funny) reasons to come!

David, Sue and Kendra talked with Sam Zien, AKA "Sam The Cooking Guy" about the best way to make burgers this weekend and we talked about his new book BEHIND THE BUNS!
How do you handle the graduation card drop? We ask the listeners... who are they more like: David or Sue?
When you bring the graduation card FILLED WITH MONEY: Do you have to hand the card to the person (like David)? Do you just drop it and go (like Sue)?
It's exactly ONE WEEK until the One Wish Project's Light a Candle Gala, and we want you to get your tickets soon before they are all gone! Thursday June 2 at the Andover Country Club!!
Our MAGIC listeners called in with all their favorite movie experiences... the movies that you HAD or HAVE to see in person!
It's a big Memorial Weekend - especially for the movies. David, Sue and Kendra all remember the one movie that was the most amazing IN PERSON, AT THE THEATRE experience!
Sue's kitchen renovation is pretty much done but she needs some stools to sit on... the only problem? She ordered 4 ... but didn't realize that her husband Tom ALSO ordered 4... so now they have an obscene amount of kitchen stools arriving at their doorstep.
If you have listened to this show, you know David, Sue and Kendra LOVE to eat... but if you could only have one food to eat forever, what would it be?
Whether it's shoes... food... or crossbody bags.. we all do it. David, Sue and Kendra impulse shop all the time.
When David, Sue and Kendra asked listeners to share their favorite ice cream places (and flavors) - the phone lines lit up... we even heard about "Adult Ice Cream" ... Yes please!!
We all love ice cream and we all have our favorite places to go ... and our FAVORITE FLAVORS!
Would you rent YOUR pool/yard out for a few hours? Or would you pay to rent out someone else’s pool? We ask because there’s an app called Simply (kind of works like Airbnb but for pools. David and Sue say NO WAY... but of course Kendra wants to cash in!
Creamy mashed potatoes with a literal side of butter and clam chowder .... WITHOUT the clams? Yep, that's what our listeners want when they go out to dinner.
We all have our favorite places to go out to eat, but we found out this morning that Kendra's brother (Mackenzie) goes to the same place every Thursday night so often.. that the server has "his order" already in the system as "The MAC!"
Everyone has quirky food orders.. we all like our food "the way we like it." David and Kendra had some fun comparing their MUST ASKS when they go out to dinner.
Graduation time has arrived... and we are bringing back the Morning MAGIC Senior Shout Out! Record a Voice Memo on your smartphone and send it to David, Sue and Kendra at MagicSeniorShoutOut@gmail.com

We couldn't have Christopher Knight ("Peter Brady") in studio and not test his knowledge on some other famous TV families..
We always love having Christopher Knight (AKA Peter Brady) IN STUDIO with us. He's emceeing the 12th Annual Vegas Casino Night TONIGHT to benefit JOURNEY FORWARD at Kings Bowl Dedham.
Its that time of year... graduations and graduation parties. So what's the etiquette on giving a gift? Cash, an item for a gift, or ....... just a card?
Sue and Kendra are trying to convince David that he needs to get central air conditioning in his house. He is still lugging these GIGANTIC units into his windows!!
Sue doesn't like the shape and weight of the shopping carts in the grocery store, which got us wondering why certain things haven't evolved. Our listeners had some AWESOME invention ideas!!
Taylor Swift fans are trying to get into Yankee Stadium today to see her deliver the commencement speech for NYU's class of 2022. Some are approaching graduates on social media and offering hundreds of dollars for their seats!!
It could be one of the greatest lines ever uttered on this morning show...... Kendra asked David and Sue if the river that runs through the city of Boston was called "The Charles" .... it was absolutely glorious.

Tickets are $25 -- come party with us!
It comes as no surprise to David or Kendra but Sue bought a new grill and OF COURSE she needed to rent a van to get it to her house. Who rents a van to have a grill delivered!??? Sue Tabb, that's who.
Turns out, we aren't the only ones who get sidetracked when we put stuff in the microwave... Listener Racheal called in while driving to work and told us that her delicious breakfast (a muffin) is still sitting in her microwave!
Join David Sue and Kendra on Thursday June 2 at the Andover Country Club for ONE WISH PROJECT's Light A Candle Gala! We are celebrating ONE WISH PROJECT and the incredible work they do to provide birthday celebrations for kids and teens living in homeless shelters and foster care throughout New England.
What do you do WHILE you wait for the microwave to ding? David stands there staring at the timer; Sue tries to finish a quick task before the time is up and Kendra always stops it before the time is up!
Is Friday the 13th lucky? Or do you worry about all the bad things that could happen? ... For example, Kendra who will never open an umbrella indoors!
We have all noticed the packages getting smaller but the prices getting higher, so we talked with Edgar Dworsky of Consumer World. He had great tips and tricks for spotting the differences in your food packages and how to get the most for your dollar.
David was in shock over hearing that Sue and Kendra ONLY wash their hair twice a week... but then we talked with Linda Norton of Mane Hair Lounge and apparently Sue and Kendra are on the right track!
The CFO of Moderna resigned just one day after being hired... due to an internal investigation by his former employer. This got David, Sue and Kendra thinking about the shortest time they have ever spent at a job.
We know that David can't do it, Kendra's husband can't do it and Sue's husband is "allergic to cutting the grass" but our listeners weighed in on whether they could go an entire month without mowing their lawns!
Have you heard of No Mow May? It's a real thing.. According to the nature experts, if you hold off mowing your lawn for the whole month of May, it's better for the bees and the bugs. David already violated the NO MOW rule...
Well if he wasn't set before, he sure is now. Tom Brady just signed a 10-year deal to be the lead NFL analyst for Fox Sports. It's worth $375 million -- it's the richest TV deal in history.
Sue's dog Gracie has been barking and jumping everywhere.. and on everyone ....so we need some training advice for her!
Sue and Kendra laughed out loud when David asked them if they make their own pizza dough .. from scratch. Their version of "homemade" is store bought frozen pizza dough, with jars of sauce and handfuls of cheese plopped on top.
David, Sue and Kendra are VERY EXCITED to celebrate with One Wish Project on June 2nd at the Andover Country Club-- and they want YOU to join in on the fun. PLUS, you could win this amazing signed Jayson Tatum basketball!!!
Join David, Sue and Kendra for One Wish Project's first annual Light A Candle Gala to celebrate 5 years of recognizing and celebrating the birthdays of hundreds of deserving children living in homeless shelters and foster care homes throughout Massachusetts. June 2 at the Andover Country Club!
Kendra's husband and her three kids called in to surprise her for her 40th Birthday... they were excited for a minute... then back to breakfast!!

David, Sue and Kendra talked with Vanessa Loder, leadership expert, writer, and inspirational speaker about her book "The Soul Solution: A Guide for Brilliant, Overwhelmed Women to Quiet the Noise, Find Their Superpower and Finally Feel Satisfied.

As we prepare to celebrate Mothers Day, we wanted to hear the funny Mothers Day stories from our MAGIC Moms! Karen Blake called in and shared her Mothers Day memory of getting scrambled eggs with mayo for breakfast!
We have all experienced it. You get a gift... you give a gift... and sometimes it's not the gift you were expecting............. like a garbage disposal!!!
There was a little incident in the parking lot yesterday... David, Sue and Kendra were talking together when all of a sudden... SPLAT. A bird pooped all over David's car and Kendra's face.
Our listeners called in with their funniest drive-thru habits... and some of them can hold off eating the fries!!!
Most people love the Drive-Thru... Kendra might be at the top of the list. Nonetheless, everyone eats the fries IMMEDIATELY as they are driving away, right??
David, Sue and Kendra discuss who the people are that answer every phone call... and even better... who are the people that still leave voicemails? And do you every actually listen to them on your phone???
In honor of David's birthday today... David, Sue and Kendra revealed some of their most memorable and favorite birthday gifts ever.
David and Kendra are trying to figure out why Sue has such a strong dislike for actor Jon Hamm.... it was absolutely hilarious.

"Don't shame the family"
"Marry your best friend"
"Be Wise"
Join David, Sue and Kendra for the first annual Light A Candle Gala June 2nd at the Andover Country Club to celebrate 5 years of One Wish Project recognizing and celebrating the birthdays of hundreds of deserving children living in homeless shelters and foster care homes throughout Massachusetts.
Imagine, not only having a girlfriend who hits the snooze button 5 times, but also having a neighbor with a ROOSTER outside. This Morning MAGIC listener was one of the funniest calls we've ever had!!
Sue and Kendra hit the snooze button at least TWO TIMES every morning - which David can't understand... because he hears his alarm clock go off and he instantly gets up.
Remember hearing your parents tell you, you needed "a new pair of slacks?" David, Sue and Kendra love going through the throwback phrases that their parents used.... and maybe some that we are still using? Does anyone still say, "I'm going to videotape it?"
If you eat breakfast then you know there is a certain way to eat cereal.... or so Sue and Kendra thought. David admitted this morning that he puts the MILK IN FIRST? Whhaatt???
David Sue and Kendra all have strange food combinations: cream cheese and jelly sandwiches, ranch dressing on pizza, or even peanut butter on bacon... and our MAGIC listeners agreed!
David, Sue and Kendra talked with the 3 time Guinness World Records Holder (for walking on Legos barefoot) about his mission to deliver Lego sets to hospitals across the country as part of his “LITTLE BRICKS CHARITY.”
If David or Sue ever need some one to save their life, Kendra is officially CPR certified as of yesterday! There was a class here in the building and they all pumped to the beat of Stayin Alive!
David, Sue and Kendra talked with Peggie Ritzer, the mother of Danvers teacher Colleen Ritzer, about the annual Step up for Colleen 5k happening this Sunday May 1st in Andover. We are so excited to be a part of this event every year!
Do you have good neighbors? David, Sue and Kendra LOVE their neighbors - but we wondered does EVERYONE like their neighbors this much??
David, Sue & Kendra talked with the former Full House star about starring on the new season of the Food Networks Worst Cooks In America Celebrity Edition, the 4th season of her podcast Never Thought I'd Say This, and the new CBS reality show Beyond the Edge. Plus we played a little game called "If Full House were in Boston!"
Do you remember your Middle School Dance? Kendra volunteered her husband to be a chaperone at her daughters dance so we started reminiscing about those fabulously awkward days.
Sue made banana walnut muffins for David and Kendra in her new kitchen, with her new stove... and well, the muffins might be a bit well done...
No word of a lie... David made whoopie pies and brought them for us. Sue and Kendra inhaled them in about 2 bites... which then brought us to the discussion of Sue's new kitchen and how she THINKS she's going to learn to cook...but we know better.
When it comes to trying on clothes in a store dressing room, Sue and Kendra have a very different list of rules and expectations, than David.
David is the Grill Master in his house... but for Sue and Kendra they would rather have someone ELSE do the grilling and serve it to them on a plate!
David did something that had Sue and Kendra asking a ton of questions... he changed his ENTIRE OUTFIT (from head to toe) while sitting down in his car!
David, Sue and Kendra talked with Arlington native and comedian Dane Cook about his new film projects and his stand up show, coming to the Wang tomorrow night!

If you're looking for something super fun to do with the kids this weekend, check out the SHRINERS CIRCUS -- especially because Sue and Kendra are going to be the Ring Masters!!!
David, Sue and Kendra spent the day at Fenway Park yesterday at the Red Sox game with our Audacy staff and it was the perfect way to spend an afternoon in the city of Boston.
Well it looks like Sue isn't alone - we have some listeners who, like her, NEVER READ THE MANUAL, while others go step by step!
When you get a new appliance or household item.... do you read the manuals? Or are you more like Sue Tabb, and you just "WING IT?"
For the last two years, we really didn't dress up or put on makeup (because most of us were stuck at home, LOL) so we wondered if most people are staying low maintenance like Sue and Kendra!
An Army plane with a parachute team preparing to jump into Nationals Park as part of a pregame ceremony last night triggered a threat alert and prompted authorities to briefly evacuate the U.S. Capitol... someone forgot to make a phone!!
Sue is not alone. So many listeners called in to say that yes, they too, have experienced the Racoon Car Wash in Seabrook NH.... among many other places and ways to wash your car.
You think we are making it up but Sue goes to a car wash called "The Racoon Express" and it's $3 -- This is totally Kendra's price range but if you're David, you are going TOUCHLESS and getting the wax special!
David ran the Boston Marathon to support The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and he did it in 4:51:09. Today was his first day back at work... and his legs are a little sore...
Kendra brought in leftover Easter dessert leftovers... (Red Velvet Cake and Cookies) and they are almost gone and it's 9am. Sue and Kendra are baffled at HOW FAST food in the employee kitchen get eaten!!
Sue and Kendra talked with JoAnn Simons, President and CEO of The Northeast Arc about Autism Awareness / Acceptance Month and their 'Evening of Changing Lives' Gala coming in May!
Both Sue and Kendra recycle like crazy, but their husbands will stuff giant plastic (recyclable) bottles in the trash... but they are not alone. According to our listeners, they have it too!
David is on his way to the starting line to run his second Boston Marathon in 6 months! He checked in with us from the car this morning!
Kendra's kids are on school vacation this week so we asked our listeners for some tips and they came through-- especially listener Erin from Plymouth!!
NESN's Tom Caron joined us this morning (he is also a member of the "Circle of Foam" with David) to talk about Red Sox Opening Day at Fenway - he is already at the ballpark and the atmosphere is AWESOME!!!!
Big day here in Boston because it's the Red Sox Home Opener at Fenway! David, Sue and Kendra are dressed and ready to start baseball season.
David, Sue and Kendra talked with Jen Turner from Rivers Edge Garden Center about starting your gardens... what to plant now vs later and how to make your yard look AMAZING!
We are so proud of Sue and Kendra for winning another Gracie Award, this time for their interview with Kyra Sedgwick on their podcast "Exceptional Women." We are so proud of the work they do sharing all of EXCEPTIONAL WOMEN stories throughout New England and beyond. The Gracies recognize exemplary programming created by, for and about women in all facets of media and entertainment.
In honor of Opening Day at Fenway THIS FRIDAY, who better to talk to than the man INSIDE the Green Monster keeping score for 26 years, Christian Elias. He shared some funny behind the scenes stories with David, Sue and Kendra!
Sue's husband took her car to fill the air in her tires and when he sat inside... he found not one....not two..... but a HANDFUL of nuts and dried cranberries stuck in her window slot.
David, Sue and Kendra talked with the Boston native and Academy Award Nominee Mark Wahlberg, about his newest film, FATHER STU which opens in theatres Wednesday April 13th. We also played a little game called "Beat the Boston Boxer!"
April is Autism Awareness Month and Kendra's family has been affected by Autism as her two sons were both diagnosed at age 3. Kendra along with her neighbor, Mary an avid golfer, who's family was also affected by Autism, have started a local chapter of the Ernie Els GameON Autism Golf Program.
It's ONE WEEK until David runs the Boston Marathon, and we chatted with his running coach, John Furey. This is the second time David has run the 26.2 mile race all to benefit AFSP.
To celebrate National Pet Day, The Boston Veterinary Clinic is partnering with Polkadog Bakery in the Seaport for a “Yappy Hour” event from 5pm-7pm where dog treats and refreshments will be served for pets and their owners.
David had a '68 Chevy Chevelle Convertible, Sue had a '80 Sky Blue Nissan Sentra and Kendra had a '92 Barney Purple Chevy Beretta -- they were quirky cars but WE LOVED THEM nonetheless.
When it comes to FONTS are you a Calibri kind of person like David & Sue? Or maybe a Comic Sans lover like Kendra?
Loved talking with Cindy Brown, the CEO of the Boston Duck Tours about the 29th season of the DUCK BOATS! Plus they are in need of drivers... so if you are interested, they are hiring!
Our Morning MAGIC listeners called in with hilarious old phrases they still use... but then one listener who is a high school gym teacher called in to share the NEW PHRASES because let's face it, as a teacher, he HEARS EVERYTHING!!!
David, Sue and Kendra are still using phrases that may seem outdated to some- but we LOVE THEM!! "Time To Make The Donuts" ... "Cool Beans" .... "Up And At 'Em"
David and Sue can't understand how Kendra can watch an entire movie --- and an entire Netflix series-- DURING THE DAY.
David, Sue and Kendra had some laughs with James Murray "Murr" from Impractical Jokers (Season 10 airs now on Tru TV) about his Friday night show at THE WILBUR!
When the printer is out of paper, or the stapler is empty, Sue and Kendra rely on one person, and one person only --- David. He is "The Office Filler."
Apparently we are not alone... our listeners also have TONS of stories with funny childhood injuries... which is now begging the question, "How Are We All Alive?!!"
We were pretty tough kids.... because all of us have experienced a crazy injury! Sue has a piece of her middle finger missing, David has a scar on his forehead and all of Kendra's kids have "The Petrone Chin" (scars in the same spot!!)
We like our coffee - the way we like it. But did you know that your coffee order says a lot about your personality. David, Sue and Kendra all have VERY different ways of enjoying their cup of joe.
Tons of flights have been delayed due to weather and air traffic issues... and in what could be the greatest part of the story for David and Kendra... Sue's kitchen contractor has been stuck in Florida for days, waiting for his flight!
Loved talking with Boston Marathon Race Director Dave McGillivray about the big day... just 2 weeks from today. Since David is running (CLICK HERE TO DONATE TO DAVIDS PAGE) we are getting all the details and what to expect!
David, Sue and Kendra are so excited to be a part of ONE WISH PROJECT's 5 year Birthday Celebration LIGHT A CANDLE GALA on June 2nd at The Andover Country Club. This past holiday season, Morning MAGIC, along with all of our fabulous listeners helped donate over 2,300 birthday gifts to children and teens in homeless shelters through ONE WISH PROJECT.
We all agree that when Spring comes, there is nothing scarier than the start of bathing suit/shorts season, at least for Sue and Kendra.
We couldn't make this up but our listener Jeff, who has been in line waiting for the FREE GAS promotion (thanks to Ernie Boch Jr and his "April Fuels Day"), called to tell us that he is ACTUAL LAST CAR to get gas!!!
Our listener Jeff called back in to give us an update on where he is in line... and what the other 350 cars around him are doing....
We found a listener who is waiting in the line for the FREE GAS today on Rte 1 in Norwood (courtesy of Ernie Boch Jr's "April Fuels Day") ...Listener Jeff gave us a behind the scenes look!
Today is April 1st but it's also APRIL FUELS DAY.... and Ernie Boch Jr decided to give away 7,000 gallons of FREE GAS (first come first serve) to Rojo's on Rte 1 in Norwood... to help ease the pain at the pump!
Who still has and USES a landline in their house? David and Sue, that's who. Kendra hasn't had one in over 11 years and we are trying to figure out if its still common to have a "house phone?"
Some of our Morning MAGIC listeners called in to share their FAVORITE place to be inside the supermarket-- and if they had to live in any aisle... where would they choose to be.
It's a simple question... if you got stuck in the supermarket, which aisle would you want to be in? For David... the Produce. For Sue it's the Rotisserie Chicken... and for Kendra it's the Cheese Island.
At some point, we all will have to get one... and today is the day of prep for David. He's getting a colonoscopy, which means no eating food BUT.... we discovered he could take a prep pill that is actually called SUTAB!
Are you a prankster? David, Sue and Kendra talked with listeners about the greatest April Fools pranks either they pulled on someone, or that was pulled on them!
As we were talking about how Sue and Kendra DON'T floss and David is an avid flosser... one of our Morning MAGIC listeners, who happens to be a dental hygienist, called in to give us the facts!
They usually brush and SOMETIMES they floss.... but unlike David, Sue and Kendra will skip a night of flossing.... AND brushing. This total grosses David out!!
Our colleague Karen Blake (on air weekdays 2p-7p) called in to share her strangest jobs... which included working at the shoe store Tom McCanns, where she would practice different radio voices when answering the calls!!
Turkey pluckers, cranberry bog pickers... and even working in a mall parking lot spraying people with perfume. Yep, these were actual jobs that our listeners had!
Yea we have all been there - Jobs that you think to yourself, "Who would do THAT?!" Sue picked tobacco, Kendra scraped the bottom of movie theatre floors and David decorated cakes for Carvel...
Well after THE SLAP at the Oscars, Will Smith has issued an apology to everyone, including Chris Rock, but many people thinks it's too little too late..
David, Sue and Kendra talked with Paul Kent, the first bilateral recipient of the Ewing Amputation Procedure about running the Boston Marathon. Paul will be representing both the Brigham and Women’s Stepping Strong Center Marathon Team and the Spaulding Rehabilitation Race for Rehab Marathon Team.
In just 3 weeks David will be running the Boston Marathon to support AFSP, so we want to check in on his training (he ran 20 miles on Saturday!) and how he is preparing for Marathon Monday.
Wow... in case you missed it. The Oscars was an interesting night of events; many barriers broken, but the part that everyone is talking about: Will Smith walking on stage and hitting Chris Rock in the face after Chris Rock made an onstage joke about Jada..
Kendra isn't the only one obsessed with movies and the Oscars... listener Brian called in with some advice and wishes for Sunday's show.
Since Kendra has seen every movie and TV show ever made... David and Sue tested her Oscar knowledge as we prepare for the Academy Awards this weekend... you need to listen all the way to the end.
Both David and Sue have to be the driver -- always. No matter how long or short the road trip is, they go right to the drivers seat. Not Kendra... she always wants to be the passenger. Napping, scrolling her phone... and of course, snacking!
Anyone who wears athletic wear knows that there are TWO PILES: one pile is for the athletic wear that you ONLY wear INSIDE (in front of your loved ones) and the other pile is for the athletic wear you can wear in public.
When you're in the car, do you always need to be THE DRIVER or THE PASSENGER? Both David and Sue go for the drivers seat... while Kendra would rather sit on the side and nap!
Do you remember Handwriting class in school? Or learning to properly type on the computer? What about remembering phone numbers? David Sue and Kendra started thinking and laughing about all the LOST SKILLS that no one is learning anymore!
We went down the rabbit hole of Instagram reels and now we can't stop. Kendra has been sending David and Sue funny Instagram Reels all morning (that's her favorite Waste of Time Activity) ... What is yours?
Easter weekend is 3 weeks away and because Sue is renovating her kitchen... David and Kendra were wondering how in the world "The Hostess with the Mostess" will ever survive?!
David, Sue and Kendra loved talking with Josh Groban about his upcoming show this July -- but to test his true Boston-love for us, we played a game called "YOU KNOW IT'S SUMMER IN BOSTON, WHEN..."
He's baaaack! Josh Groban is coming to Boston this July (Leader Bank Pavilion) after waiting 2 years since his newest album, Harmony, dropped. David, Sue and Kendra talked with him about how excited we are to have him back in town.
And just like that our Morning MAGIC listeners have responded that they know all about Baby Sprinkles.... Kendra wasn't making the idea up in her head - LOL!
Yesterday Kendra told David and Sue that she was having a Baby Sprinkle for her sister in law... and they both laughed out loud. They know what a Baby SHOWER is... but what is a "Sprinkle???" Kendra explains that she did not make this idea up...
Once we asked, our Morning MAGIC listeners called in with their favorite and best places to get the most affordable gas-- including the places that offer FULL SERVE!
David Sue and Kendra were talking about the places we go to for the most affordable gas - and there is one place that Kendra mentioned on 114 in North Andover that always has about 100 cars spilling onto the highway!!
David ran 13.1 miles in the NYC Half Marathon over the weekend and we are so proud of him! But the big one-- the 126th Boston Marathon is just a month away!!
We are so proud of David - he is running the 126th Boston Marathon (just months after running the Marathon in October). He is running to support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention - we want to help him raise as much as possible to help those impacted by suicide.
Here in New England we only get a teeny tiny window of warm weather so when it comes... we RUN TO IT!!! David, Sue and Kendra plan to sit and bask in the sunshine as much as we can!
EVERYONE shares their Netflix password with family members, and now Netflix says they plan to start cracking down and making you pay a fee if they catch you. AHEM ---David, Sue and Kendra!
In case you didn't know, Sue Tabb was named The Westfield Irish Colleen... so of course David and Kendra gave her a quiz to see how well she knows her Irish heritage!
Since today is St. Patrick's Day... who better to talk to than Aoife Griffin, she's the Cultural Manager of the Irish Cultural Centre in Canton! She shared Irish traditions with us, as well, she talked about the events the Centre has planned for this weekend to celebrate!
When your name is Maeve O'Leary - you MUST have a birthday on St. Patrick's Day! We talked with David's daughter about the BIG CELEBRATION today... her birthday!!
David, Sue and Kendra are dressed in their Kelly Green and ready to share in the Irish spirit on St. Patrick's Day!
Does anyone sleep through the night??? Sue has a snoring husband, David stares at the phone charger light and Kendra.. well she's doom scrolling with the TV on.
David and Kendra were in shock to find out that Sue Tabb has NEVER cleaned behind her stove or fridge .. EVER in the 20 years of living in her house.
Breaking news yesterday -- the U.S. Senate unanimously passed a bill that would make Daylight Saving Time PERMANENT staring in November 2023. Kendra’s dream is finally coming true.
When it comes to taking quizzes, Kendra is not always the brightest crayon in the box but David and Sue decided to test her knowledge of FAMOUS CAESARS as today is the Ides of March.
We are not alone in this! The Morning MAGIC listeners called in to let David, Sue and Kendra know that their kids do the saaaammmme thing.
We have all been there as parents. Our kids want to wear their favorite princess costume or cowboy boots to school... and at some point, you just have to let them wear it.
There are those of us who do really well with construction in our house... and then there is Sue. She is doing reno work in her kitchen which means it'll be a giant mess for MONTHS! David and Kendra are bracing for what is coming next.... LOL
David Sue and Kendra talked with 2 time Super Bowl Champ and our colleague Christian Fauria about what this "non retirement" could mean for the Brady brand.
Well that was a quick 40 days. Tom Brady announced over the weekend that he is not quite ready to retire and will be back for a 23rd season in the NFL with the Bucs. David, Sue and Kendra have mixed feelings about this!
How do you celebrate PI Day? Do you do a little math... or is more about Pizza, Apple, Blueberry or Cherry?
David is back after 2 weeks away on a boat... the question we are all asking: Is he still speaking with the other couples and his wife after 10 days together - alone in the middle of the ocean... HA!
St. Patrick's Day is a week away, and since we haven't had a parade, a party or get togethers in 2 years... NOONE, and I mean no one, is celebrating BIGGER than Sue's daughter Katie.
Sue and Kendra have this discussion twice a year. Why can't we just STAY in Daylight Saving (which would be the "Spring Forward")? Our listeners also weighed in on this...
Sue and Kendra talked with Dr. Renee Moran, owner of Dr, Renee Moran Medial Aesthetics in Newton, about caring for your skin as we transform from our dry wintery skin to warmer weather!
Kendra's mom isn't alone... there are others who decorate for the in between calendar holidays....
Sue was wondering about the people who decorate their house for everything (not just Halloween and Christmas) ... and we realized its Kendra's mom Gina.
It happens every time they go food shopping. Sue and Kendra HAVE to stop in TJ's or Marshalls to "see what they have" ... and according to our listeners, they are not alone!
Sue found this AWESOME story... One group of kids from West Side Elementary school in California have put together a hotline featuring students spreading positivity in different ways when you call ... 707-998-8410.
In honor of International Womens Day, Sue and Kendra talked with Denella Clark, the President and CEO of the Boston Arts Academy Foundation and Chairwoman for the Massachusetts Commission of the Status of Women.
Our Morning MAGIC listeners were hilarious with their reasons for loving or hating the month of March!
Sue and Kendra are desperate for the warm weather.. and it seems like the month of March is kind of a weird, long -- " meh" kind of month. Right?
Kendra thought Sue loving MRI's was odd... but then we had listener Laurie call in to say she FALLS ASLEEP DURING ROOT CANALS!!!
Most people DREAD getting an MRI, not Sue. She loves it... so it got us wondering about the odd things that we like. Maybe you enjoy going to the dentist? Ironing? NO THANKS for Sue and Kendra... but for our listeners, it was a different story!
Sue and Kendra talked with former Pats player and 3 time Super Bowl Champ Matt Light about his 9th annual Fools Night Out Comedy Show!
Once Sue and Kendra mentioned pets escaping... our listeners immediately called in to share their crazy pet stories!
If you have a pet, you totally understand. Sue's dog Gracie escaped out of the house yesterday... and Sue had to chase her (while barefoot) through her entire neighborhood!
The phone lines lit up this morning when Sue and Kendra asked about what you leave out on the counter.... Apparently they are NOT ALONE!!
It's a debate in both houses.. what stays out and what gets put away from the kitchen counter. Both Sue and Kendra have every appliance sitting out all the time... so we asked our listeners to make us feel better!
Does anyone else do this thing when you walk outside and can't tell if it's icy or not...you step and tap your foot on the ground to test the slippery-ness? Or is just Kendra doing that?
Kendra is in shock over how fast Sue leaves the building every day. Sue is in her car and driving through the first set of lights before Kendra even opens her car door. Oh and she's not alone... our listeners called in to defend Sue's fast track!
Sue and Kendra have very different views on what goes on a hanger and what gets folded in their closets. And then we asked our listeners ....
Sue and Kendra want the warm weather and SPRINGTIME ASAP and one of our listeners said, look for the birds!!!
Since it's March 1st, Sue and Kendra are trying to figure out what signifies "springtime" especially if you live in New England? One of our callers reminded us of the April snowstorm -- so maybe not soo fast?
David does something that astonishes Sue and Kendra.... he exercises while on vacation. And this time around he's bringing EVERYTHIN including resistance bands and his water-filled backpack!
In less than 24 hours David will be heading to a tropical place on vacation for the next two weeks....
David, Sue and Kendra talked with SALON LUIS owner Jessica Couto about the option of getting a "Silent Appointment" when you go for a haircut. Sue and Kendra could do it... but David........ oh no, he's a talker.
David, Sue and Kendra also had listeners call in with stories of Will Ferrell at breakfast, and meeting Davy Jones of the Monkees!
Morning MAGIC listener Eleni called in to tell David, Sue and Kendra about the time she was working at The New England Aquarium and in walked Leonardo DiCaprio!
Morning MAGIC Listener Dawn called in to tell us about the time she met and hung out with John Travolta while he was in town filming a movie in 2014!
Every time there is a snowstorm coming, Sue feels the need to go to the supermarket THE DAY BEFORE and buy "a few things, just in case."
As we continued to hear from listeners about the new skills they learned as adults.. one of them shared that she is planning to Roller Skate in every 50 states until she turns 50.... and the other learned to "Cricut"....
David just learned how to snorkel so it got Sue and Kendra thinking about all the things they SHOULD HAVE learned how to do... but then one of our listeners called in and said he taught himself YOGA and HOW TO START A LEGIT FIRE (like Tom Hanks "Cast Away" kind of fire)!!
Yesterday was 57. Today will be 65...maybe even hit 70, and tomorrow? FREEZING, 9 degrees and snowing!! David, Sue and Kendra are suffering from weather whiplash.
David is going on a big vacation in two weeks so he and Kathy had to learn how to snorkel... This got David and Kendra thinking about skills you learned to do as an adult!
If a stranger said to you, "My phone is dead, can I use yours to make a phone call?" Would you let them borrow it? David and Kendra talked with the listeners about what they would do!
David is blown away at how many listeners agree with Kendra, when it comes to not washing your jeans every day. Apparently "the fashion experts" also say you're not supposed to wash jeans that often... Could Kendra be ahead of a trend? LOL
How often do you wear a shirt or a pair of jeans before washing them? David washes shirts after just one wear, and pants ever two wears -- He cannot believe that Kendra basically never washes her jeans, unless they have a stain.
School Vacation is next week and Kendra needs help! Our listeners chimed in with some AWESOME (and very affordable) activity ideas for her and her kids.
Pickles on salad? Ketchup on popcorn? Yep... people are doing it! David and Kendra are having a good time laughing at these strange food orders.
David has to order his coffee "WET" and a half pack of sugar... Kendra can't drink water without lemon in it, the coffee cream MUST go in first....and Sue won't eat something if her fork touches someone else's food.
David said today was National Drink Wine Day - and it made Kendra laugh... isn't that every day?? Also, when did drinking wine become EVERYONE's thing? We don't remember going for a glass of red before the age of 35!
Forget David and Sue.... Karen Blake wins the contest for MOST PILLOWS EVER. She has 12 pillows on her bed, 4 regular…and 8 decorative. Plus a small couch at the end of the bed with 3 more accent pillows!
How many pillows do you have on your bed? Sue and David have about 6 each... including decorative ones... not Kendra. She's lucky she has bed sheets.
Sue is convinced that she is going to win the HGTV Dream House. She has been entering in every day since it started -- and really believes she'll get the house in Vermont. David and Kendra had to brace themselves from laughing so hard.
David, Sue and Kendra started thinking about how in the world we were allowed to play THESE games >> (Dodgeball, Lawn Darts, Red Rover, Snake Fireworks... and so many more) Totally unsafe, we were always unsupervised--- and yet, we survived. Classic times.
David seemed to be the only one on the show who woke up to some Valentines Day goodies... Sue and Kendra got nothin!
Did you watch THE BIG GAME? David, Sue and Kendra recap some of their favorite commercials... Larry David's might be the best...
How well do you know your LOVE SONGS? Kendra tested Sue and David to see which one of them is the lyric master when it comes to the romantic tunes....
Marshfield native Catherine Graham went on The Price is Right and was picked to go on stage and play “Side By Side” with Drew Carey for a chance to win a trip! She won by correctly guessing the value of the prize was $7,696 instead of $9,676. Her prize ? – a trip to New Hampshire..... HAHA! Oh and she will have to travel to California in order to cash in on the roundtrip airfare from Los Angeles to Manchester.
We found her....Melissa Green is the General Manager of the Hyatt Regency in Cambridge and she talked with us about the lights and who gets to decide the colors and patterns. She also shared their love for Morning MAGIC, hence the yellow and gold today!
David Sue and Kendra vented about their own lives and heard what our listeners had to say when it comes to those silly couples arguments... like the battle over the RIGHT WAY to food shop...
Last week Sue and Kendra told David about their fascination with the Hyatt Regency's lights on their drive in to work. So today we saw they dedicated the colors to us... in yellow and gold colors for MAGIC!!
Love is in the air at Morning MAGIC.. Probably one of the best stories ever... a romantic meeting at the good ol' Palace on Route 1 in Saugus.
As we approach Valentines Day, David Sue and Kendra wanted to know how YOU met your significant other... Was it a longing glance across a crowded ballroom? Or maybe you backed into their car in the parking lot?
Our listeners called in to share with David and Kendra, what they would win a Gold medal in -- if the Olympics were held in their houses!
If the Olympics were held in your house right now... what would your event be? Re-loading the dishwasher after someone doesn't do it the right way? Scavenger hunt to find where all the phone chargers go?
There are certain understood rules in the house and when someone breaks the rule... like eating dinner without you--- or before you get home and not leaving leftovers... well, that's meal cheating.
David and Kendra made fun of her... but poor Sue. Her eye got worse. She couldn't drive in this morning .. so we are down a man and top of that, none of the buttons are working for David.
To make Sue feel better about her eye injury, listeners have been calling in all morning about their most annoying injuries. One of them, involved a blueberry muffin and a broken tooth!
If you have ever had an eye injury... you know it could be one of the most annoying injuries EVER. (Next to the toe). Sue came in this morning with a scratch on her cornea and it HURTS!
Everyone is trying to plan a vacation so we need the help of an expert! Loved talking with Stephanie Trovato, travel agent for Magical Moments Vacations. She gave us tips on timing, pricing and most of all locations!
Sue and Kendra drive in on Storrow Drive and they always notice the lights on the Hyatt Regancy Hotel - so much so, that Sue wants to know who decides what colors they use and what happens if the lights go out!?
Loved having our colleague and 2x Super Bowl Champ Christian Fauria on the show talking about Brady's retirement and how New England fans are VEERRRRYYY invested. Maybe too much?
Now that the GOAT has left the game... getting something with his signature, is going to cost you BIG! David, Sue and Kendra talked with Phil Castinetti of Sportsworld Saugus about the instant rise in cost for Tom Brady memorabilia.
She was hungry and desperate. Sue ate expired cottage cheese that she left in the office fridge weeks ago... David and Kendra can't stop gagging.
Now that it's official and Tom Brady has retired after 22 seasons in the NFL.... we started to wonder. What would you do on DAY ONE of retirement?
Take a look inside your email inbox... how many UNREAD emails are there? David has over 15,000. Sue and Kendra instantly erase and delete everything.... What kind of email person are YOU?
There are those who list every day...like Sue and David, and then there's Kendra. She just hopes for the best and maybe, just maybe she'll remember to do everything she needs to.
It was good while it lasted. The NY Times recently purchased WORDLE (which is great for the creator, Josh Wardle, a software engineer in Brooklyn) but we wanted it to stay a little hidden gem!
What did you do during the storm? Were you listing Hall Trees on Facebook Marketplace like Sue's husband Tom?
Is Tom Brady retiring? Maybe not yet? David, Sue and Kendra talked with former Pats player and 3 time Super Bowl Champion, Joe Andruzzi about the retirement rumors. As a former teammate of Brady, Joe gives us his take...
The three of us - David, Sue and Kendra- have very different snowstorm experiences! So we decided to sing about it....
WCVB Meteorologist Cindy Fitzgibbon called in to give us the predictions and the snowy details of tonight's big blizzard!
Sue has to take her bra off yesterday and today, our listeners called in with hilarious clothing mishaps... mostly happening while they were at work and in front of a huge group of people!
The storm is just hours away... but we have always wondered: what do the people who live right on the water (at the Cape) or near any beaches year round-- go during a blizzard??
David, Sue and Kendra talked with Chronicle's Emmy winning co-anchor Shayna Seymour about the longstanding show celebrating their 40th season on the air. We also had some fun quizzing Shayna in a game we called "Are You Really Western Mass?"
Any woman out there knows... There is nothing more annoying than an uncomfortable bra. So today, Sue decided (at 5:30am) that she wasn't going to continue wearing hers!
Why do we act like we've never seen snow ....and that we don't already have 300 boxes of pasta and Cheez Its in the basement?! One of our listeners called in and said she is making cannoli's!
Have you ever checked your email and found an order confirmation for $150 worth of Disney toys that you didn't buy? Kendra's son Jake went on a little shopping spree yesterday on her phone... and what he bought was pretty spectacular.
David, Sue and Kendra differ on WHERE and HOW they eat dinner every night. David NEVER -- EVER, EVER, EVER eats in front of the TV or with a plate on his lap... Sue and Kendra on the other hand... well use your imagination!
Someone is a little tired from going to a faaaaaaancy wine tasting last night (on a school night...) and his name is David.
Yea, we're getting another storm... so what. David, Sue and Kendra are starting to think (as New Englanders) that we thrive on the chaos and panic of rushing to the grocery store!
Someone giving you a compliment can make your whole day. And we all remember who gave it to us, and what we were wearing!
We got snow last night, a light dusting. David was outside at 4am scraping his driveway... Sue thinks it's too early and it wasn't enough snow -- Kendra, on the other hand, thinks its part of the territory of working early!
Loved hearing all the "Middle Child Stories" from our listeners... They definitely made us feel better about our childhoods!!
David and Sue explain to Kendra (who is the oldest of her siblings) that being a MIDDLE CHILD means you get the short end of every stick! Our listeners even called in to agree with them!
Another movie item that our listeners mentioned ... the diamond from Titanic, Wonder Womans Lasso of Truth!
Since the car from Wayne's World is up for auction, we thought it would be fun to ask ourselves and our listeners what movie item would you want to own? For David = James Bond's watch (the Daniel Craig Bond.. ) For Sue = Julia Roberts red dress from Pretty Woman .. For Kendra = The DeLorean from Back to the Future...
Sue is totally devastated at the news of singer Meatloafs passing... and for David, it's not really a blip on his radar....
What's your "Right On Red" rule? David witnessed a situation yesterday at a traffic light with the aggressive beeper behind someone who didn't turn RIGHT ON RED.
It's January 20th - which means it's time for the holiday wreaths and lights to REALLY be taken down. David's friend Julie Blaine would NOT approve... She is the gatekeeper of seasonal decor rules and regulations.
What are some of the silliest (but most memorable) sibling battles you had with your brothers and/or sisters? One of our listeners called in with a great story that involved jumping on the bed and then 20 bloody towels...
Sue is obsessed with this new game called WORDLE. It's gone viral... but David and Kendra have absolutely no idea what it is or how to play.
The American Red Cross has declared its first national blood crisis, and is making a desperate request for blood donation. David, Sue and Kendra talked with Kelly Eisner of the American Red Cross in Massachusetts about the many ways you can help donate!
As we continued the topic of "falling asleep with the TV on" -- one of our listeners had a pretty funny story about waking up out of a dead sleep and answering a Jeopardy question!
David and Sue can't believe that Kendra ALWAYS falls asleep with the TV on. Every night... on her couch. So we asked our listeners if they do the same.
How often do you change out your sponge? Whatever the time frame …. Let’s hope it’s before the sponge looks like a piece of toast with peanut butter on it. Because thats what our office kitchen sponge looked like this morning!
After our hugely successful ONE MAGICAL WISH, David, Sue & Kendra checked back in with One Wish Project founder Hannah Finn on the incredible 2,100 gifts they received to help give the gift of a birthday celebration to a child/teen in need!
It's overwhelming that our Morning MAGIC listeners agree - they need to get their stuff ready THE NIGHT BEFORE work -- some even sleep in their clothes!! And this...... is why we love them so much.
David can shower, get his lunch prepped and EAT BREAKFAST all before walking out the door!!! I think we all know that Sue and Kendra would never be able to do that AND be on time for work!
So we asked our Morning MAGIC listeners to share their pets in honor of the upcoming #BettyWhiteChallenge .... but we didn't expect to meet Kevin, the giant Python, thanks to listener Denise!
Do you let your pets sleep in your bed... or do they have their own area? One of our listeners called in to say that all 3 of her dogs (and they are BIG ONES) sleep in her bed!!!
In honor of the Betty White Challenge taking place on Betty's birthday (Jan 17) we talked with Mike Keiley Director of Adoption Centers and Programs about the constant need for pet meals and adoptions!
Since she’s the CEO of the Girl Scouts of Eastern Mass, and it's Girl Scout Cookie season...let’s see how well Barbara knows what’s INSIDE these delicious treats!
Yes it's another day on Zoom, and another day that Sue and Kendra got all dressed up for the show.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Not.
There was a story going around that rapper Nelly lost $300,000 in cash (that was in a duffle bag) - and the woman that found it, and returned it - IN FULL- was a little upset that she only got $100 as a reward.... but what we want to know... $300k in a duffle bag??!!!
Are you a fan of self-check out or do you need a person? Amazon Fresh stores will be opening at the Saugus Plaza Shopping Center and in Braintree on Grossman Drive. It will be an automated checkout process.… with no cashiers at all.
Sue’s mom Shirley is helping us get prepped for the F-L-A Feel Good Song of the Day by answering some really really funny Florida Trivia..

If you live in New England, you know that we handle the cold a lot different than most people. So we thought it would be fun to ask the question, "You Know It's Winter In New England WHEN ____?" Our listeners responses were CLASSIC.
We are all trying... trying to stay healthy .. trying to stay motivated. We talked with trainer Morgan Bungerz about his virtual classes and how he's helping others stay in shape mentally and physically!
You are either a shoveler or a snow plower... and for those of us who have to shovel... Dr. Sean Rockett has some fantastic (and funny) tips on how to best stand yourself when you are able to shovel that snow!
Just call him Yukon Cornelius ... David made it in through the 10 inches of snow, but there were some obstacles along the way. Sue and Kendra played some audio that reminded David of his travels into the building this morning.
Well here it is.... January 7 and we have our first official SNOW DAY. It's really bad outside, roads are icy and schools are closed... but the good news: David had to muscle it in this morning... behind 10,000 snow plows.
Loved talking with Richard Brackett, Managing Partner from The Federal Restaurant in Waltham about Dry January. He gave us some great drink recipes and concoctions that will make you feel like you're still enjoying the fun but without the alcohol!
The FIRST EVER Covid Sniffing dogs (two labs named Huntah and Duke) are coming to a classroom near you, all thanks to the Bristol County Sheriffs Office and K-9 Officer Capt Paul Douglas. Loved having him on the show this morning!
Aside from just boiling eggs... Sue and Kendra are known as The Hurry Uppers in the kitchen. Meaning, they rush through everything mostly out of laziness. Not David, he is very precise - and is blown away when the ladies tell him they use ketchup for marinade.
David, Sue and Kendra talked with John Paul from AAA about the recent pile up on I-95 in Virginia and how many people were stuck on the highway for over 24 hours. He gave us some great tips on what emergency items to keep in your car and how to best prepare.
Yes it's a New Year and we have a new word: FLURONA. So to put a smile on your faces, Sue tested David and Kendra on some strange words to see if they can tell whether they are REAL or FAKE.
Despite popular opinion .... we each have things that we just don't "get." For David it's Horror Movies and Game of Thrones. For Sue it's Sushi and any kind of Seafood.. and for Kendra it's Cruises! Why Why Why do people like them??
Starting today, old devices running BlackBerry's own software won't work anymore. They originally announced it back in September 2020. Some WILL still work, but only if they run on Android software. So if you bought your BlackBerry in the last 5 or 6 years, you're probably okay.
In honor of our favorite Golden Girl, Betty White, passing away at the age 99... David, Sue and Kendra played a little game called "Is THIS THING older or younger than Betty White?"
Everyone... literally everyone... has a cold right now. David took NyQuil (brave on a weeknight) and now he's having weird dreams.
Kendra and Sue asked the listeners who was in charge of wrapping the gifts, and OMG these responses are priceless!
It's not that Kendra doesn't have any help wrapping the gifts, its that she won't LET her husband help her wrap the gifts... so we called Steven to get the truth!
Sue has claimed there is such a thing as MAGIC milk that never goes bad, MAGIC tape that makes wrapping easier and now MAGIC Candles... that automatically go on when the sun goes down.
Apparently there are more than just a few people who wait to do their Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve.... there's an entire community who do this every year!!
Sue and Kendra are almost done their shopping but who are the people that wait to start holiday shopping Christmas Eve ...... (ON PURPOSE)?
When you work early mornings like us, you need your coffee. And since we all like our coffee cream a certain way, it can be tough when you forget your coffee cream. Kendra is struggling with hot chocolate!
Sue and Kendra are blown away at the amount of MAGIC listeners who say they go Holiday Shopping TOGETHER!
Here we go! We are in Christmas Crunch time everyone.... Is anyone else feeling overwhelmed with "stuff to do" like Sue and Kendra?
Now it's David, Sue and Kendra's turn to see if they know the lyrics to these (VERY POPULAR) Christmas songs ... and there was only one true winner.
Think you know the words to the Christmas songs that you've heard 1,000,000 times? It's not as easy as you think! We challenged our MAGIC listeners ... and they failed gloriously.
We loved talking with Natick Firefighter and Air Force Medic Brendan Sullivan about his annual tradition of dressing as Buddy the Elf and pillow fighting strangers on the streets of Boston...all for a good cause! His 5th Annual Toy Drive benefits Boston's Children's Hospital.
What happens in your house on Christmas morning? Do you open stockings first like in David and Kendra's houses... or are you more like Sue and the stocking go last? Listeners called in this morning to share their Christmas morning traditions!
What is the relationship timeline for buying a Christmas gift for your kids' boyfriend or girlfriend? Do they have to be a year in to the relationship? Engaged? Our MAGIC listeners called in with their etiquette rules!
Today is VERY SPECIAL. It's Sue's birthday today and for anyone who has a December birthday, you know how important it is.... to have your gifts wrapped (NOT IN CHRISTMAS PAPER!)
WE HAVE REACHED OUR GOAL!! On the last day of our One Magical Wish, we got the final count from Claudia on an incredible 2,000 gifts purchased to provide birthday celebrations to kids and teens living in homeless shelters throughout New England.
Today is our final day of ONE MAGICAL WISH and we talked with Eileen Mugavero of the Lazarus House about the incredible impact that One Wish Project has had on the kids and teens they serve every day.
Out of all the Christmas movies out there ... Jim Carey's The Grinch and a few others would NOT be on our list of MUST SEE MOVIES.... and our listeners had very strong opinions about them as well!
David Sue and Kendra notice on their drive into work that most people have their Christmas lights on ALL NIGHT. Is that a new thing? Or have most people always done that?!
Two things: Are you the person who SENDS one? Or the person who receives one every year? One of our listeners called in with the BEST newsletter story ever... It was a small indicator that she was no longer on the Christmas card list!!!
Sending the Christmas Card without full approval on filters and design from EVERYONE IN THE FAMILY??? Who are you people??
David is in a group text with his brother and sister in laws... and when he got a Facebook alert that it was "Jack's birthday" he sent a silly birthday text to the group wishing Jack a happy birthday with the caption "to haunt your dreams" --- the only problem, he had the wrong Jack.
We checked in with Hannah's mom Claudia Mintz, who is also the Managing Director of One Wish Project, about the incredible amount of gifts being delivered to their offices through our One Magical Wish holiday campaign!
When it comes to wrapping holiday gifts. Sue Tabb has rules. Serious rules. The wrapping paper needs to be a specific thickness and color... and most of our listeners agree (they have the same rules....)
As we continue our One Magical Wish, of getting as many birthday gifts to homeless kids and teens through the One Wish Project, we talked with Andrew from Casa Nueva Vida, a homeless shelter in Lawrence MA about the incredible work that One Wish has done.
If you're in relationship... and maybe things aren't going "as planned," now would be the time to call it quits. You know, so you don't have to answer the dreaded, awkward questions during the holidays!
Tis the season... for tipping. Who do you tip (especially during the holidays) and what's the rule for HOW you give it? In an envelope? Along with a gift?
OMG! Over 1200 gifts as of this morning for our ONE MAGICAL WISH Holiday campaign, as we continue to help One Wish Project provide as many birthday gifts for kids and teens in homeless shelters throughout New England. We checked in with founder Hannah Finn, and she is just blown away at the response!
David, Sue & Kendra talked all things Christmas with Meghan Trainor! She's a December baby like Sue, and Kendra's kids made a little appearance (we were on Zoom, so you know how that goes!
When it comes to your Christmas tree... everyone is specific in what they like. Real or Fake.. we asked the listeners. But Sue has very strict rules for the lighting as well.
Loved talking with One Wish Project volunteer Nicole. She is a volunteer/child advocate for the CASA program (Court Appointed Special Advocates) through Family Services of the Merrimack Valley. She shared her experiences with One Wish Project and what it means to provide these birthday gifts to children and teens in homeless shelters.
Yesterday we talked about Yankee Swap fails -- but I don't think anything comes close to getting a smelly Barbie doll that was made into a toilet paper holder.... You need to hear this listener story!!
As we continue our One Magical Wish, we talked with Zuli, an 18 yr old senior, who is living in a foster home, and was one of the teens who received a birthday celebration from One Wish Project.
WOW! Just wow.... we have another update from our One Magical Wish holiday campaign as we continue to work with One Wish Project to provide birthday gifts to kids and teens in homeless shelters throughout New England. Over 800 gifts have been purchased and we are so grateful.
Loved talking with Grammy-Winning Artist Amy Grant about her upcoming Christmas show with Michael W Smith at the Tsgonas Center this Saturday December 4th at 7pm.
