‘Toucher & Hardy’ highlights: Rock ‘n’ Roll Mike’s unreleased tracks
I’m on vacation this week. I’m supposed to be getting my holiday shopping sorted (or maybe even starting it). But when a great idea hits me, like highlighting some funny moments of Hardy on the morning show in the past, I gotta tell my 10-month-old, ‘that diaper change can wait, i’ve got work to do!’. I’m not even clocking in to do it! Money… who needs it, amirite?!
During one of Hardy’s guest appearance on the morning show with Fred Toucher years back, they discussed a call from Rock ‘n’ Roll Mike the previous week. Rock ‘n’ Roll Mike revealed he was working on a new album called “HOT BALLS.” Hardy, intrigued by this announcement, did some online sleuthing and uncovered snippets of songs from the upcoming album. the guys also speculate on Rock ‘n’ Roll Mike’s musical contributions, his potential influence on bands, and even touch on controversial aspects of his personal life, comparing him to Jerry Lee Lewis. They play snippets of Rock ‘n’ Roll Mike’s songs, suggesting they could be summer dance hits or featured in movie trailers.

Nick Gemelli: The best places to pregame around TD Garden
Outside TD Garden is where I spend a lot of time, armed only with my smartphone and a keen ear for the ground. My aim during the shows is to capture the emotions of fans leaving Bruins and Celtics games.
To put it less formally, I’m basically out there looking for happy or angry folks, especially those who’ve had a bit to drink, to share their excitement or fury with me. Then, We play it back on the show the next day.

But, you know, getting audio late at night can be a drag, especially when I have to work in a few hours. One silver lining to these street interviews is the culinary adventure that unfolds around TD Garden. It goes beyond the cheers and disappointments. I take pleasure in exploring both old and new restaurants and bars, savoring their mouth-watering offerings.
So, in a nutshell, I enjoy checking out the diverse food scene around TD Garden—from traditional pub dishes to breweries. This culinary journey helps me power through my late nights and interviews.
