Early Edition With Joe Mathieu

Good Thursday morning, thanks for starting your day with Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. The week is winding down, but we are most assuredly not as we prepare you to face your day. A little bit of snow here and there throughout the area, you might see a few inches depending on where you are. The Celtics lost a close one last night, and Marcus Smart doesn’t want to hear your criticisms about his shot selection. And there was more than just a little bit of Boston down in the White House yesterday, because a little bit of Boston is never quite enough. Thanks as always for tuning in to GBH Radio and GBH News.

Good morning, we made it to the midway point of the week, its Wednesday, thank you for waking up with Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. So who is “Ted Lasso”? Governor Charlie Baker knows. He’s a television character played by SNL alum Jason Sudeikis, and Governor Baker just happened to quote him in his State of the Commonwealth speech last night. Joe did an event last night with Marketplace’s Kai Ryssdal and has some insight on some weird stock market activity. And the snowstorm last night turned out to be mild by Boston standards. Have a great day, drive safely and thanks for tuning in to GBH News and GBH Radio.

Joe Mathieu and the Early Edition Team cover a lot on a Tuesday morning. Older people are taking priority in vaccine roll out in Massachusetts while President Biden says we could reach herd immunity by spring. Is it possible? Robert Kraft breathes a sigh of relief as a judge orders the Orchid of Asia “tape” is destroyed. Do you leave your shovel and salt out all season, it may finally come in handy. Onward Early Risers, thanks for being here for the Best 10.

Joe Mathieu and the crew are back and this morning brings change to the MBTA. Public transit is seeing the effects of the loss of ridership. Dr. Birx gives an interview on CBS Face the Nation where she describes a “Parallel data stream” when working int he White House. And the big game will see a familiar face to New England. Let’s start the week right -together.

Good morning and welcome to Friday from Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. We made it to the weekend, and we made it to another milestone… yes, happy three year anniversary to GBH’s Early Edition. “The Best 10” (which is sometimes the best 15-plus) has reached its three year anniversary, and we have a lot of folks to thank for working with and hanging out with us for so long. Plus Dr. Anthony Fauci is acting like a new man after assuming his senior role in the Biden Administration, and we’ve got the sound to prove it. Thanks again for tuning in and helping make Early Edition what it is for the past three years, and thanks as always for waking up with GBH Radio.

Good morning, we made it to Thursday, thank you for waking up with Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. We’re up early with you and feeling hopeful as the Biden Administration was sworn in yesterday, and wasted little time turning the page on the previous four years. We discuss everything from the anthem, to the speakers, to the poet laureate, right on down to Bernie’s mittens and the memes it helped spawn. It’s the longest “Best 10” ever… just call it “The Best 17”. Have a great Thursday, and thank you for tuning in to 89.7 GBH Radio.

Good morning and thanks for waking up with GBH Radio on this Wednesday, Inauguration Day. Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team are up and ready to help you get your day started. The Trump Presidency comes to a close today as Joe Biden will be inaugurated down in DC, in a ceremony that will be vastly different because of pandemic restrictions. We reflect back on a few moments from the past four years and try and look ahead to Biden Administration. And for the second straight year the St. Patrick’s Day parade in Southie has been cancelled, and people are taking this announcement much better than they took the cancellation one year ago. Enjoy your day, and thank you for waking up with Early Edition and GBH News.

Good morning and thank you for waking up with GBH Radio. Joe Mathieu is back from his long weekend with the entire Morning Edition crew and we’re ready to tackle the day ahead of us. It is indeed the final day of the Donald Trump Presidency, and our Facebook audience appears to be counting it down like its New Years Eve. Something about playing in New York has been bad for our local winter teams this week, as the Bruins lose to the Islanders. Please stay with GBH Radio for complete coverage of the inauguration events in Washington DC, and thanks as always for choosing GBH News.

Good morning and welcome to Early Edition from GBH News and GBH Radio. Joe Mathieu is out for the holiday but the great Henry Santoro is happy to be here to fill in. The rest of the crew is up and working, so we’ll catch you up on the latest news, sports and weather and try and help you jump-start your work week on a Monday morning. Thanks for waking up with us, and thanks for tuning in to 89.7 GBH Radio.

Good morning, you made it to Friday, thank you for starting your day with Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. We’re winding down our work week with you and hope you have some fun (and safe) plans on tap for the weekend. Hockey is back in the hub, and even in a shortened season we have hope for the Bruins after game one. Details continue to emerge from last week’s riots at the Capital, including some first hand accounts from police officers who were assaulted on the scene. Have a great weekend and thanks as turning to GBH News and tuning in to GBH Radio.

Good morning and welcome to ‘Little Friday’ from Joe Mathieu and the GBH News Morning Edition team. The week is winding down and so is the Trump Administration, but that didn’t stop the House of Representatives from voting to impeach the President for the second time in his only term for his role in inciting the Capital violence of last week. Heightened security across the country has us on our toes, as we hope cooler heads prevail and some sense of unity can be achieved leading up to Joe Biden’s inauguration. Here’s hoping for better days ahead, and thank you as always for waking up with GBH Radio.

Welcome to Wednesday, thanks for waking up with Joe Mathieu and the GBH News Morning Edition team. The week is halfway over and we’re halfway home, but we admit the past seven days have felt like a month. Mayor Marty Walsh gave his final state of the city address last night and things got a little misty for him as he reflected on his city before he heads to Washington DC to work in the Biden administration. Meanwhile, it turns out that social media companies silencing Donald Trump might’ve been a good idea, as his defiance and potentially dangerous rhetoric continued yesterday at one southern border wall location. Stay with GBH News for the latest, and thank you for listening.

Good morning, welcome to Tuesday from Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. We’re up early with you, just not as early as Dorchester’s own Mark Wahlberg… we explain why getting up at 2:30AM and going to bed at 6:30PM isn’t really that crazy to people like us. Working out twice a day and eating many micro-meals? Now you’re speaking a different language entirely. Plus the latest details on the transition to the Biden administration and some further updates on last Wednesday’s events at the Capital building. We’re glad you woke up early to listen to us, maybe while you work out, and thanks as always for tuning in to GBH Radio.

Good morning and thanks for waking up with Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. We made it to another work week, but Joe can’t help but notice how fast this past weekend disappeared for our crew… hopefully yours felt a little longer than ours did. A lot of news on the insurrection attempt last week, including new footage, many arrests, social media bans and the possibility of impeachment. Locally we debate how Bill Belichick will respond to the rumors that President Trump wants to award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom on his way out of office. Hope your week ahead is a productive one, stay safe, and thanks for tuning in to GBH.

Good Morning, we made it to Friday! Thanks for beginning your day with Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. After a week that felt like two, your weekend is about to arrive. A Capital Police Ofiicer has died from injuries sustained during the riot on Wednesday. With discussions of possible legal implications, President Trump changed his tune on the rioters and destruction. The President also finally accepted that a new administration will be taking over on January 20th. Plus a “Saugus Legend” restaurant may not be sticking around forever. Thanks again for turning to GBH News for breaking news this week, and have a safe and relaxing weekend.

Good morning from Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. A bit of a different tone on Early Edition today as we react to the chaos at The Capitol building yesterday in DC. Joe and the crew catch you up on the latest, including the electoral college vote for President Biden being affirmed by the joint session of Congress just hours ago. Stay with GBH News as we continue to bring you the latest from the nation’s capital, and thank you for listening to GBH Radio.

Welcome to Wednesday from Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. A ton of news this morning and that has us breaking format and breaking in a special guest to Early Edition: we welcome in sleep-deprived GBH political reporter Mike Deehan live from the MA State House with details on some late breaking news. Plus the results are in for at least one race in Georgia for the US Senate, and chaos erupted in the nation’s capital as Trump supporters clashed with DC police. It’s going to be a hectic news days, thanks for starting it with GBH, and staying with us throughout the day.

Good morning and thanks for starting your day with GBH. Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition crew welcome you to Tuesday, as the great re-entry to the work force continues after the holiday break. Big day in Georgia today, as a runoff election will decide control of the United States Senate and likely shape the country’s policies and ability to pass legislation for the next four years. The Bruins are back to work for 2021 and that means a new expanded leadership role for one longtime player. And Covid-19 restrictions will continue indefinitely, but that won’t stop us from dreaming about when we can all go on trips again. Have a great Tuesday and thanks for listening to 89.7 GBH Radio.

Good Thursday morning, happy Christmas Eve and welcome to GBH’s Early Edition with Joe Mathieu. A bit of a skeleton crew today as the holiday is upon us and the off-days are plentiful. It’s a Christmas themed show today as we recount memories of our favorite traditions, gifts, family moments and even Christmas films. Early Edition is off for Christmas Day and the Monday after, but we will return on Tuesday 12/28 with Henry Santoro in the big chair. Hey thanks for being loyal Early Edition, Morning Edition and GBH Radio listeners all year long… it was a trying one, and we’re thankful you joined us for it. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and thank you for waking up with GBH Radio.

Good Wednesday morning thanks for joining Joe Mathieu and the GBH Morning Edition team. The holiday break is almost here, but Governor Baker is literally begging Massachusetts residents to stay home for the holiday and celebrate safely. Plus President Trump is throwing a monkey-wrench into Congress’ stimulus plans, making for a very Grinch-like Christmas. Two days til the holiday, thanks for waking up with GBH Radio and GBH News.
