Martin VauxHOST
Great.
Martin VauxHOST
But perhaps a hiker near the Fairmont region of Woonsocket will just stumble across it one day.
Martin VauxHOST
And if that cross is rotted away, who knows what might have clambered out.
Martin VauxHOST
Yes.
Martin VauxHOST
That's its whole purpose.
Eleanor ConlonHOST
that would work
Martin VauxHOST
it just runs up to you flame and if you don't move it stops right in front of your face like an inch from your nose and goes psych and then runs off In addition to the Woonsocket werewolves, the Gloucester Ghoul, and the various sneaky characters we've mentioned, Rhode Island also has its own Sasquatch, effectively known as Big Rhodey.
Eleanor ConlonHOST
Oh, I like that.

It's an old courthouse that's been restored, but it's been one heck of an action journey to try to finance it.

My dream, it's in a city in Rhode Island, Woonsocket, is to bring Hollywood there and through a course of events, the state of Rhode Island is giving tax credits, Michael Carrente was looking to get pitches on Harvard pictures, okay? And although I would love to have a superhero picture, that's really vibrationally where I'm at, I thought the next logical step would just get in the business.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
So this morning, I went, and I brought a friend who loves the movie industry.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
And we left a little late, and I got there, and I was number 86.
Daniel DenvirHOST
I don't know what the hell that is.
Daniel DenvirHOST
It's funny because I found out that this happened because you texted me while I was knocking doors in the city of Woonsocket, Rhode Island, where I was knocking doors for Veronica Vega, a left-wing candidate who we successfully helped win last night against the most far-right MAGA member arguably of the Rhode Island state legislature, John Breen.
Daniel DenvirHOST
And I was knocking those doors in a housing project in Woonsocket.
Daniel DenvirHOST
At first, I just had this like sinking feeling, you know, that this, you know, is a tight race.
Daniel DenvirHOST
There was so much racism against Abdul.
Daniel DenvirHOST
I don't know what the hell that is.

John BrienHOST
Lincoln and North Smithfield, a Working Families Party candidate.
John BrienHOST
Me in Woonsocket.
John BrienHOST
But it didn't just start here.
John BrienHOST
It's everywhere.
6 MINS LATER
John BrienHOST
Final note from me.
John BrienHOST
The Morales effect was...
John BrienHOST
in play on Tuesday in Woonsocket.
John BrienHOST
And what do I mean by that? David Morales, the socialist mayor of Providence, 27 years old, never had a real job in his life.
Ted NesiGUEST
think the biggest mistake a lot of these Democrats who won so big in Rhode Island on Tuesday night could make is seeing this as a vindication of how Rhode Island is being run right now.
Ted NesiGUEST
You just had the incumbent governor ousted, the incumbent mayor of the capital city, the incumbent mayor of Pawtucket, the incumbent mayor of Woonsocket.
Ted NesiGUEST
Two bond questions rejected.
Ted NesiGUEST
Voters say in our poll over 60 percent of voters said the state's going on the wrong track.
Roger BouchardHOST
The story broke yesterday.
Roger BouchardHOST
We asked the mayor about it in terms of, you know, whether he thinks CBS, you know, has had its days in Woonsocket.
Roger BouchardHOST
He doesn't think that.
Roger BouchardHOST
And we'll just talk in general about them.
22 MINS LATER
Roger BouchardHOST
Yes.
Roger BouchardHOST
And give us your interpretation of what it means.
Roger BouchardHOST
And then maybe even a sub-interpretation of does it affect the Rhode Island operation and particularly the Woonsocket operation? Or is it just a bunch of paperwork issues? transactions.
Roger BouchardHOST
Here's Chris.
Nancy LavinGUEST
And what some of these successful challengers had, which we were saying, you know, Ken Block did not, is a coalition of advocates behind them.
Nancy LavinGUEST
The Democratic challengers who ousted Thomas Paolino and Representative John Breen in Woonsocket, who lost by 10 points in a city that went for Trump in 2024.
Nancy LavinGUEST
They had the Working Families Party behind them.
Nancy LavinGUEST
They had Reclaim Rhode Island.
Dan McGowanHOST
And I think it was real.
Dan McGowanHOST
I think the voters were holding people accountable a little bit with those votes.
Ted NesiHOST
Yeah, I mean, again, the flip side of all we're talking about, the voters just ousted an incumbent governor, an incumbent mayor of the capital city, an incumbent mayor of Woonsocket, an incumbent mayor of Pawtucket.
Ted NesiHOST
I mean, it is it is a funny thing for people to keep in mind that we can have a blue wave in a blue state combined with voters showing a lot of signs of discontent.
John DePetroHOST
I don't know exactly what happened.
John DePetroHOST
No, first of all, it was a big win in Woonsocket.
John DePetroHOST
Woonsocket has a new mayor.
John DePetroHOST
And listen, around the state, everyone thought that perhaps you would have had, you know, that John Laughlin stood a good chance.
John DePetroHOST
He got blown out and everybody got blown out.
16 MINS LATER
John DePetroHOST
Let's deal in reality.
John DePetroHOST
Also, my friend John Breen.
John DePetroHOST
Boy, John Breen lost in Woonsocket, even running as an independent.
Katie ThompsonHOST
