to ‘Bust Gate’ at Mary Lou’s, we'll cover anything that's topical and have fun with it.” Dave added, “Plus,
Dan needs money to pay his underwater mortgage, Mike needs a nanny to handle his twins, and I have
condo fees for my homes in Chinatown and Upper Revere Beach, so we all need to work more.”

throwing big events all over New England.” said WTKK Program Director Grace Blazer. "Over the past
5+ years, the Andelman brothers have connected on-air, on-line and in person with 96.9’s listeners and
advertisers and we’re delighted to bring their family to yours on Fridays in addition to Saturdays. Let the
fader begin.”
