<v Speaker 2>some talk at night from eight to midnight. We have

20
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.200
<v Speaker 2>lots coming up tonight. We're going to talk a little football,

21
00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.560
<v Speaker 2>which we very rarely do here on Nightside. It's off season,

22
00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:17.840
<v Speaker 2>but the Patriots players basically say that their team is

23
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:20.840
<v Speaker 2>not treating them well. We'll get into that a little bit.

24
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.239
<v Speaker 2>Very interesting article about the Globe and the Herald today

25
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:27.640
<v Speaker 2>and they're going to talk about self driving autonomous vehicles.

26
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:31.439
<v Speaker 2>I actually have been in a self driving autonomous vehicle

27
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:34.159
<v Speaker 2>and it was pretty cool. But I'm not sure most

28
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.599
<v Speaker 2>people are interested in being in a self driving autonomous vehicle.

29
00:01:38.599 --> 00:01:41.079
<v Speaker 2>And we'll be talked with Mark Shield drop of Triple A.

30
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.599
<v Speaker 2>Oh sometimes late sometime later on tonight. We'll keep in

31
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:47.400
<v Speaker 2>suspense for that. In the meantime, we afford very interesting

32
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:49.840
<v Speaker 2>guests in the first hour, and we're going to start

33
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:54.519
<v Speaker 2>off with Nick Burns. Nick is a Google trends expert.

34
00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.200
<v Speaker 2>Welcome Nick Burns tonightside. How are you.

35
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:00.439
<v Speaker 3>I'm great, Thank you so much for having me.

36
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:02.719
<v Speaker 2>Now, I'm sure Nick, when you were seven or eight

37
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:04.400
<v Speaker 2>years old and someone said to you, Nick, what do

38
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:06.319
<v Speaker 2>you want to do when you grew up? Maybe you

39
00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:08.520
<v Speaker 2>said you wanted to be a fireman, maybe a policeman,

40
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:11.800
<v Speaker 2>maybe a doctor, maybe a baseball player. You never said

41
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:14.479
<v Speaker 2>you wanted to be a Google trends expert. How'd you

42
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:16.879
<v Speaker 2>end up? As you know, you're expert.

43
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:20.919
<v Speaker 3>You're right, You're right. You know, life takes you and

44
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.759
<v Speaker 3>crazy adventures and you just got to say yes along

45
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:24.120
<v Speaker 3>the way.

46
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.199
<v Speaker 2>Yes, sir, yes, sir. So tell us, first of all,

47
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:31.240
<v Speaker 2>exactly what a Google trends expert is. I don't assume

48
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:34.159
<v Speaker 2>that wasn't your major in college. I'm assuming.

49
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:38.000
<v Speaker 3>You're you're very correct there. I was a literature major.

50
00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:41.159
<v Speaker 3>But a Google trends expert, you know, we look at

51
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:44.960
<v Speaker 3>what people around the world are searching for. It gives

52
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:48.319
<v Speaker 3>us a lot of really interesting insight around the trends,

53
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:52.120
<v Speaker 3>what interests people, and it's kind of like the heartbeat

54
00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:53.000
<v Speaker 3>of the Internet.

55
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:57.400
<v Speaker 2>So give us recently, I mean, give us an idea.

56
00:02:57.439 --> 00:02:59.639
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of folks out there who now understand

57
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:05.199
<v Speaker 2>Google and they understand trends, and obviously, at different points

58
00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:09.560
<v Speaker 2>during the year, different trends take priority. But give us

59
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.960
<v Speaker 2>a sense as to maybe, let's talk February. February has

60
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:18.039
<v Speaker 2>just ended. I assume those numbers have been compiled at this.

61
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:22.360
<v Speaker 3>Point or no, we, sir, have Yeah, we have cut

62
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.120
<v Speaker 3>the numbers. And you know, February was a very busy,

63
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:28.800
<v Speaker 3>busy month, you know, and has everything from the Super

64
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.560
<v Speaker 3>Bowl to the SAG Awards, to Fashion Week in New York,

65
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:34.159
<v Speaker 3>to Black History months, and we saw all of these

66
00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:36.000
<v Speaker 3>show up in our trends throughout February.

67
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Anything that surprised you, I mean all of those are

68
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.719
<v Speaker 2>sort of pre scheduled February events. Anything that surprised you

69
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:45.560
<v Speaker 2>during the month, Oh.

70
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:45.759
<v Speaker 4>You know.

71
00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:49.280
<v Speaker 3>I for me, I think I don't know if you

72
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.479
<v Speaker 3>follow in New York Fashion Week, But what was surprising

73
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:55.319
<v Speaker 3>to me is Calvin Klein was actually the top trending

74
00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:58.840
<v Speaker 3>collection in terms of what people were searching for. And

75
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:01.479
<v Speaker 3>it comes down to a little known fact that this

76
00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:03.759
<v Speaker 3>was the first time in five years that Calvin Klein

77
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.800
<v Speaker 3>has actually shown a collection at Fashion Week, and that's

78
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.000
<v Speaker 3>all due to their new creative director.

79
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:11.759
<v Speaker 2>This is a dumb question, but I get paid to

80
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:14.800
<v Speaker 2>ask dumb questions. Is Calvin Klein still alive?

81
00:04:16.879 --> 00:04:21.360
<v Speaker 3>He is, absolutely and he was there. You're on the

82
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:22.600
<v Speaker 3>newest creative director.

83
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:25.879
<v Speaker 2>It seems to me like I'm not an expert in

84
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:27.720
<v Speaker 2>the world of fashion, but it seems to me like

85
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:33.279
<v Speaker 2>he's been around forever. I mean, how old is Calvin

86
00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:34.279
<v Speaker 2>at this point?

87
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:35.680
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

88
00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:37.720
<v Speaker 3>That is that is a very good question, and I'm

89
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.120
<v Speaker 3>sure if we asked Google, it would tell us.

90
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, we'll leave that one going. Well, I really

91
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.920
<v Speaker 2>wasn't sure really, to be really honest with you. So

92
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:51.279
<v Speaker 2>in sports, I've looked at a top local trend here

93
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:54.560
<v Speaker 2>and I'm kind of a sports guy, says the NBA

94
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:59.399
<v Speaker 2>All Star Game reaction. It was that the top sports

95
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:05.000
<v Speaker 2>a trend or am I misreading what my producer has

96
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:06.439
<v Speaker 2>given me as a show prep here?

97
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you are correct.

98
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.680
<v Speaker 3>So the NBA All Star Game was one of the

99
00:05:11.720 --> 00:05:15.120
<v Speaker 3>top trending moments in the months. If you watched it,

100
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:19.399
<v Speaker 3>you got to see Mac McClung when the dunking contest,

101
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:21.639
<v Speaker 3>and he was a top trending player from the game.

102
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:25.439
<v Speaker 2>And he doesn't he doesn't even play in the NBA.

103
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:28.560
<v Speaker 3>You know that, right, I know, but you know he

104
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:30.199
<v Speaker 3>keeps winning these dunk contests.

105
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I saw it. He's an amazing athlete in that regard.

106
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:37.399
<v Speaker 2>I guess he's the what they call a d league player,

107
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:41.920
<v Speaker 2>which is the first level of minor league basketball. But

108
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:47.000
<v Speaker 2>he can jump, and I saw him jumping. They had

109
00:05:47.040 --> 00:05:51.519
<v Speaker 2>a truck out on the court, so not only was

110
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:54.199
<v Speaker 2>he able to dunk, but in the process dunk and

111
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:57.720
<v Speaker 2>flew not only by the basket, but over the trump

112
00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.399
<v Speaker 2>over the truck. Kind of an amazing sight, that's for sure,

113
00:06:01.560 --> 00:06:04.800
<v Speaker 2>But that that threw more more Google hits than the

114
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:05.360
<v Speaker 2>super Bowl.

115
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:10.279
<v Speaker 3>Uh, you know, it's just I think it depends, you know,

116
00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:12.240
<v Speaker 3>the super bowls at the very beginning of the month.

117
00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:14.879
<v Speaker 3>I think the NBA would kind of later in the month.

118
00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:16.720
<v Speaker 3>And so I think you see these trends kind of

119
00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:19.240
<v Speaker 3>ebb and flow throughout the course. But you can, ye,

120
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:22.480
<v Speaker 3>what surprised me was the trend which compare the two.

121
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:24.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what surprised me is with the Super Bowl, you

122
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:28.040
<v Speaker 2>get that two week build up, uh and uh. And

123
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.879
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of wagering on the Super Bowl, as

124
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you know. And of course it has the

125
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:41.079
<v Speaker 2>the halftime shows, which are interesting sometimes somewhat controversial. That

126
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:46.319
<v Speaker 2>would kind of surprise me. In in I guess science,

127
00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:49.839
<v Speaker 2>there are a lot of people looking for sleep tips

128
00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:53.160
<v Speaker 2>and sleep maxing. I've never heard the sleep mac the

129
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:55.160
<v Speaker 2>term sleep maxing. Tell us about that.

130
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:58.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's right. You know, I think this is a

131
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:01.439
<v Speaker 3>carryover from people still trying to get those New Year's

132
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:05.319
<v Speaker 3>resolutions and hold to them. You know, the top trending

133
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:09.600
<v Speaker 3>kind of sleep related or you know, science related search

134
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:12.800
<v Speaker 3>was how to improve sleep, and sleep maxing is all

135
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:15.279
<v Speaker 3>about that. It's kind of a trend on social media

136
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:18.839
<v Speaker 3>which is all about trying to find ways to optimize

137
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:22.720
<v Speaker 3>your sleep, sleep better, sleep more, you know, soundly, get

138

139
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:27.399
<v Speaker 3>you know, people are looking for these tools to help

140
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:30.000
<v Speaker 3>you track your sleep quality. Like I've got a bed

141
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:32.959
<v Speaker 3>wearing my pixel Watch three and it really helps me

142
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:36.399
<v Speaker 3>kind of understand how well I sleep with this sleep

143
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:38.759
<v Speaker 3>score that you wake up and it really provides some

144
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:39.439
<v Speaker 3>great insights.

145
00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Give us, give us a sleep tip that you were seeing.

146

152
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.839
<v Speaker 3>you know, things like that, but music for sleep is

153
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:06.319
<v Speaker 3>becoming so much more popular. We were kind of surprised

154
00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:10.519
<v Speaker 3>to see that. And what's really interesting you will find

155
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:13.399
<v Speaker 3>these you know, kind of sleep playlists on YouTube and

156
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:16.319
<v Speaker 3>there's kind of a combination of music or meditations and

157
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:19.959
<v Speaker 3>all of these kind of sounds to help you relax

158
00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:21.199
<v Speaker 3>and ease into sleep.

159
00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:25.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, it sounds to me, Nick like maybe it didn't

160
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:27.720
<v Speaker 2>grow up looking to become a Google trend expert, but

161
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:29.439
<v Speaker 2>sounds to me like you're at the top of your

162
00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:34.120
<v Speaker 2>game and you found a position that you really like

163
00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:37.440
<v Speaker 2>and that's and that's got to be a real fun position,

164
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:39.679
<v Speaker 2>a real fun spot to be in to be able

165
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:41.840
<v Speaker 2>to watch these trends. I appreciate you taking the time

166
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:46.600
<v Speaker 2>to join us tonight and keep maybe have you back, Okay,

167
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:48.559
<v Speaker 2>I love that.

168
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:50.000
<v Speaker 3>Thank you so much for having me and I hope

169
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:51.759
<v Speaker 3>you have a great night you too, Nick.

170
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Help you have a nice good night sleep. You've earned

171
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:59.200
<v Speaker 2>it tonight, that's for sure. Thanks much, Talk soon, all right,

172
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:03.480
<v Speaker 2>We get back to talk with a planetary scientist. Not

173
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:06.399
<v Speaker 2>exactly sure what a planetary scientist is. I think I

174
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:08.279
<v Speaker 2>know and we'll find out for sure. We talk with

175
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:11.639
<v Speaker 2>doctor Sabine Stanley. Coming of Sabine. I'm not sure the

176
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:14.600
<v Speaker 2>correct pronunciation. Won't get that squared away, I forgot to

177
00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:17.480
<v Speaker 2>mention earlier. Rob Brooks is back at Broadcast Central, so

178
00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:19.879
<v Speaker 2>he is all set ready to go. Get to your

179
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:22.240
<v Speaker 2>phone calls after nine o'clock tonight, but we have three

180
00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:25.320
<v Speaker 2>more interesting guests coming up. This is Nightside. It's say,

181
00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:29.559
<v Speaker 2>Thursday night, the second last day of the month of February.

182
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:33.799
<v Speaker 2>We're we're kind of putting the winter calendar in our

183
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:37.200
<v Speaker 2>rearview mirror here. By this time tomorrow night, we'll almost

184
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:39.720
<v Speaker 2>be in March. Stay with us on Nightside. Come on

185
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:40.639
<v Speaker 2>right back after this.

186
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:44.559
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan ray Line from the Window World

187
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:47.799
<v Speaker 1>Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.

188
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:53.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm delighted to welcome doctor Sabine Stanley, who is a

189
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:58.360
<v Speaker 2>planetary scientist. Doctor Stanley, I think I have an idea

190
00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.480
<v Speaker 2>about what a planetary scientist is, But how about just

191
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.039
<v Speaker 2>a quick off the cuff explanation of what sort of

192
00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:08.440
<v Speaker 2>science you're involved in. Obviously it's the science of the

193
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:10.759
<v Speaker 2>planets I get. I'd love to know what you do.

194
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:14.320
<v Speaker 2>Do you chart them? Do you follow them? Welcome tonight, chat.

195
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:18.559
<v Speaker 4>Athlin, Thank you so much for inviting me. So a

196
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:23.679
<v Speaker 4>planetary scientist is really interested in understanding why planets do

197
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:26.799
<v Speaker 4>the things they do. Right, think of Earth, why does

198
00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:30.559
<v Speaker 4>Earth have an atmosphere? And why does life exist so

199
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:33.559
<v Speaker 4>happily here? But then you look at Jupiter or Venus

200
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:35.600
<v Speaker 4>and you say, why isn't there life there? And why

201
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:40.399
<v Speaker 4>is Jupiter so huge? And have these giant ring systems

202
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:43.159
<v Speaker 4>and all of this. Right, So, planetary scientists are really

203
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:46.720
<v Speaker 4>interested in understanding the physics, the chemistry, and maybe even

204
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:49.279
<v Speaker 4>the biology of what goes on inside planets.

205
00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:51.399
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, it's interesting, as I'm sure you know,

206
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:55.200
<v Speaker 2>at this time during the year, I believe that several

207
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:58.799
<v Speaker 2>of the planets kind of line up. You know much

208
00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:02.879
<v Speaker 2>more about this than I do, obviously, and they're visible

209
00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:06.840
<v Speaker 2>in some areas on some good nights to the naked eye.

210
00:11:06.919 --> 00:11:08.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it has anything to do with

211
00:11:08.399 --> 00:11:10.960
<v Speaker 2>its late winter, but there has to be some reason

212
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:13.960
<v Speaker 2>why they all line up at this time of year.

213
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:18.919
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's really just chance encounters. Every planet is orbiting

214
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.159
<v Speaker 4>the Sun at a particular speed, so every planet has

215
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:24.080
<v Speaker 4>a different length of its year, and every once in

216
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:25.960
<v Speaker 4>a while they happen to all kind of be in

217
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.559
<v Speaker 4>the same area at the same time. So it's rare,

218
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:32.480
<v Speaker 4>and it all kind of depends on every planet's yearly

219
00:11:32.639 --> 00:11:34.679
<v Speaker 4>time cycle around the Sun.

220
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:41.080
<v Speaker 2>Now, this setup right now that I've heard people talk about,

221
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:44.759
<v Speaker 2>is this one an unusual setup or is this fairly

222
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:47.480
<v Speaker 2>common over the course of two or three years.

223
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:50.480
<v Speaker 4>You know, it's not fairly common, but you do get

224
00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:53.840
<v Speaker 4>alignments of the planets just happenstance every once in a while.

225
00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:54.480
<v Speaker 4>There was one a.

226
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:55.120
<v Speaker 3>Few years ago.

227
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:56.679
<v Speaker 4>But I think you should think of it as a

228
00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:59.440
<v Speaker 4>special event that you might only get to see and

229
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:02.639
<v Speaker 4>you know, certain parts of the Earth at once every

230
00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:05.080
<v Speaker 4>few years. So take the opportunity to go out and

231
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:06.879
<v Speaker 4>check out that alignment of the planets.

232
00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's almost again, I don't want to bring religion

233
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:12.320
<v Speaker 2>into this, but it's almost as if there's some hand

234
00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:18.799
<v Speaker 2>out there keeping everything working, like a very sophisticated Swiss clock,

235
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:19.759
<v Speaker 2>if you know what I'm saying.

236
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:22.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we like to call that physics.

237
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:24.759
<v Speaker 4>The laws of physics are really good at keeping things

238
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:25.200
<v Speaker 4>in order.

239
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:30.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that is true. So now you're going to talk

240
00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:34.840
<v Speaker 2>about something called Fierce Planets, the exhibition at the New

241
00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:39.320
<v Speaker 2>England Quilt Museum, which is up here in the Massachusetts area,

242
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:40.679
<v Speaker 2>up in Lowell, as I understand it.

243
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:42.879
<v Speaker 5>Correct, Yep, that's right.

244
00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:47.519
<v Speaker 4>So there is an exhibition of textile arts. It's called

245
00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:51.120
<v Speaker 4>Fierce Planets, and it's based actually on the science that's

246
00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:54.360
<v Speaker 4>featured in my book that's called What's Hidden inside planets.

247
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:57.240
<v Speaker 4>So the book really kind of explores all the fascinating

248
00:12:57.279 --> 00:12:59.919
<v Speaker 4>things that are happening, say a thousand miles below our

249
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.080
<v Speaker 4>feet here on Earth or maybe inside other planets. And

250
00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:06.480
<v Speaker 4>these textile art pieces were inspired by the content of

251
00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:09.919
<v Speaker 4>that book and really brought all of that science to

252
00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:13.639
<v Speaker 4>life and an incredible visual mechanism. So that's at the

253
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.200
<v Speaker 4>New England Museum in Lowell until May third.

254
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:21.120
<v Speaker 2>So your book is entitled What's Happening in or Inside Planets?

255
00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:24.159
<v Speaker 4>It's what's hidden inside planets?

256
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:25.559
<v Speaker 2>Hidden inside planets?

257
00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:29.200
<v Speaker 4>Okay, yeah, so we know so much about the surface, right,

258
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:32.080
<v Speaker 4>but how much do we really know about the deep inside?

259
00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:34.240
<v Speaker 4>And so that's really what the book tries to explore.

260
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:37.919
<v Speaker 2>How are you able to do that? And again, I

261
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:40.679
<v Speaker 2>don't want to take a track here, and obviously it's

262
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:43.600
<v Speaker 2>something that I'm sure is much more complex than you

263
00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:47.519
<v Speaker 2>can tell us. But they still are trying to figure

264
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:50.200
<v Speaker 2>out what's going inside the Earth. My understanding is that

265
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.960
<v Speaker 2>the core of the Earth is shifting, and recently we

266
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:57.200
<v Speaker 2>had a scientist on last week who talked about that

267
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:00.639
<v Speaker 2>not a problem. We're not going off track or anything,

268
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:04.639
<v Speaker 2>but I guess it's constantly there's constantly movement inside the Earth,

269
00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:08.519
<v Speaker 2>as there is constant movement in the atmosphere, how can

270
00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:12.960
<v Speaker 2>you figure out what's going on in Jupiter or Mars

271
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:18.000
<v Speaker 2>or Saturn? How is that possible? We can't tell the

272
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:20.720
<v Speaker 2>weather forecast three days in advance. It sounds to me

273
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:25.159
<v Speaker 2>for sure, you know, not to criticize my meteorological friends

274
00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:27.240
<v Speaker 2>there by the way, just to make sure I cover myself.

275
00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:30.919
<v Speaker 4>Go ahead, understand, Yeah, No, it's a great question. So

276
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:33.919
<v Speaker 4>here's the reality. It is really hard to say, dig

277
00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:36.960
<v Speaker 4>inside the Earth or another planet to go see it firsthand.

278
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:39.720
<v Speaker 4>But what we can do is kind of what like

279
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:41.440
<v Speaker 4>a doctor does. If you go to the doctor and

280
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:43.039
<v Speaker 4>you say I've got this pain in my side or

281
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:45.480
<v Speaker 4>something like that, you might be sent in for a scan, right,

282
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:48.440
<v Speaker 4>a CP scan or an MRI. So there are ways

283
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:52.440
<v Speaker 4>of sending waves or other fields through a planet, just

284
00:14:52.480 --> 00:14:54.919
<v Speaker 4>like the doctor does through you when you're getting a scan,

285
00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:57.639
<v Speaker 4>to see what's going on deep inside. So we take

286
00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:02.360
<v Speaker 4>advantage of natural fields things gravity fields or magnetic fields

287
00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:05.960
<v Speaker 4>or seismic waves that happen when an earthquake happens, and

288
00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:08.240
<v Speaker 4>we actually use that to image what is going on

289
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:09.080
<v Speaker 4>inside a planet.

290
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:13.559
<v Speaker 2>Now is this imaging done through you know, satellites and

291
00:15:13.720 --> 00:15:17.360
<v Speaker 2>all of that, or is it done through powerful telescopes

292
00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:20.000
<v Speaker 2>here on Earth? How was this accomplished?

293
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.320
<v Speaker 4>So it's mostly done through satellites. We send spacecraft to planets,

294
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:27.240
<v Speaker 4>and those spacecraft have instruments that can measure the gravity

295
00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:29.720
<v Speaker 4>field or the magnetic field, so it's mostly done that way.

296
00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:31.960
<v Speaker 4>There are a few things you can get, say from

297
00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:35.720
<v Speaker 4>powerful telescopes near Earth, right, but it's mostly the most

298
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:37.919
<v Speaker 4>detail we have are from the spacecraft that we send

299
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:39.039
<v Speaker 4>out to the planets.

300
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:44.240
<v Speaker 2>Now, I'm sure you've spent years and years and years

301
00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:52.159
<v Speaker 2>studying this. How fast is our body of knowledge expanding

302
00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:56.159
<v Speaker 2>in this field? I have to assume that one hundred

303
00:15:56.240 --> 00:16:00.080
<v Speaker 2>years ago, maybe people thought about this, speculated about it.

304
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:04.360
<v Speaker 2>I have to believe that that the base of knowledge

305
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:08.799
<v Speaker 2>that you deal with today is exponentially greater than what

306
00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:11.120
<v Speaker 2>it was ten years ago, and five years or ten

307
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:13.559
<v Speaker 2>years from now, it's even going to be exponentially greater

308
00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:14.440
<v Speaker 2>than it is today.

309
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:19.360
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, And the amazing thing about planetary science is the

310
00:16:19.399 --> 00:16:22.159
<v Speaker 4>whole community really works together in trying to think about,

311
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:24.279
<v Speaker 4>you know, where should we send the next spacecraft? Where

312
00:16:24.279 --> 00:16:26.879
<v Speaker 4>do we need to learn the next big thing. And

313
00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:30.200
<v Speaker 4>so then you work for years on developing this spacecraft

314
00:16:30.200 --> 00:16:32.320
<v Speaker 4>and you send it out to a planet. So, for example,

315
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:35.639
<v Speaker 4>the Juno mission got sent out to Jupiter, and as

316
00:16:35.639 --> 00:16:37.799
<v Speaker 4>soon as that spacecraft gets there and takes new data,

317
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.039
<v Speaker 4>we basically have to rewrite the textbooks about that specific planet.

318
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:43.320
<v Speaker 4>So it's really amazing to see how much more we

319
00:16:43.399 --> 00:16:46.519
<v Speaker 4>learn every time we send out a spacecraft to a

320
00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:48.799
<v Speaker 4>planet for the first time. Right, and even you know

321
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:51.440
<v Speaker 4>plans we've been to Mars, for example, every time you

322
00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:53.759
<v Speaker 4>send a spacecraft with a new mission there, it learns

323
00:16:53.799 --> 00:16:56.720
<v Speaker 4>so much new information that we just really changed the

324
00:16:56.759 --> 00:16:57.600
<v Speaker 4>field entirely.

325
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:02.639
<v Speaker 2>We never script questions on this show. So this is

326
00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:04.880
<v Speaker 2>what comes into my head because I'm thinking, I want

327
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:09.160
<v Speaker 2>to think, like my audience, is there something amazing that

328
00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:12.480
<v Speaker 2>you have learned or the scientific community has learned in

329
00:17:12.480 --> 00:17:15.960
<v Speaker 2>the last year or five years about one of the

330
00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:22.319
<v Speaker 2>planets that was never understood anticipated prior to just a

331
00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:23.119
<v Speaker 2>few years ago.

332
00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:26.200
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, so much. Okay, I'm going to.

333
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:29.079
<v Speaker 5>Pick the planet that.

334
00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:32.759
<v Speaker 4>I've been excited about recently. Let's go to Mars. Let's

335
00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:37.759
<v Speaker 4>go to Mars. Right, so great, So there's this amazing

336
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:41.920
<v Speaker 4>mission called Insight, which went to Mars and landed this

337
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:44.640
<v Speaker 4>spacecraft on the surface of the planet. And then the

338
00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:48.839
<v Speaker 4>spacecraft took us seismometer and stuck it onto the surface

339
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.039
<v Speaker 4>of Mars so that it could measure Mars quakes. So

340
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:55.759
<v Speaker 4>with this sismometer on another planet, we were able to

341
00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:59.240
<v Speaker 4>tell that quakes, just like earthquakes you're on Earth, happened

342
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:02.960
<v Speaker 4>on Mars. And from those Mars quakes, we actually mapped

343
00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:06.880
<v Speaker 4>the inside of Mars, and we now know, for example,

344
00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:11.079
<v Speaker 4>that Mars's core, like you mentioned Earth's core earlier, Mars

345
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:14.880
<v Speaker 4>has a core, and that core is actually it's been

346
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:17.519
<v Speaker 4>completely liquid, and it's bigger than we thought it was,

347
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:20.640
<v Speaker 4>and it's kind of challenging what we think about how

348
00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:21.440
<v Speaker 4>planets form.

349
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:22.519
<v Speaker 5>So we got to work on that.

350
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Now, well, that's that's fabulous, So let me do this.

351
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:28.559
<v Speaker 2>Let's let's see if I can grab real quickly. Here

352
00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:34.079
<v Speaker 2>the event, the event Fierce Planets is on display. It's

353
00:18:34.119 --> 00:18:40.079
<v Speaker 2>called the John Hopkins Wavelengths Global Exhibition on view January fourteenth,

354
00:18:40.160 --> 00:18:42.839
<v Speaker 2>so it's already all the way through May third. Okay,

355
00:18:43.039 --> 00:18:48.160
<v Speaker 2>I assume you probably have traveled up there to see it, so.

356
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:49.640
<v Speaker 4>I will be there on Saturday, March fifteenth. I'm going

357
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:52.559
<v Speaker 4>to give a talk about my work and the connection

358
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:54.559
<v Speaker 4>to the Fierce Planets exhibit.

359
00:18:54.720 --> 00:18:57.720
<v Speaker 2>Yes, oh great, and that's open to the public, I assume,

360
00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:00.559
<v Speaker 2>and I see that that the New England Quies Museum.

361
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:04.880
<v Speaker 2>There's a mailing list people can subscribe to, and the

362
00:19:05.480 --> 00:19:10.039
<v Speaker 2>New England Quilt Museum is on Shattock Street in Lowell, Massachusetts.

363
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:15.319
<v Speaker 2>Just go to any q M which stands for you know,

364
00:19:15.400 --> 00:19:20.640
<v Speaker 2>acronym for New England Quiltmuseum dot org slash fierce hyphen

365
00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:24.480
<v Speaker 2>Planets and your book. Give us your book one more time.

366
00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:26.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure that some people would like to get it.

367
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:29.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure they can get it through Amazon. It's What's

368
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Hidden inside Planets. Correct, that's right, Well, thank you very much.

369
00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:37.279
<v Speaker 2>I enjoyed the conversation, doctor Stanley. I was never a

370
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:40.279
<v Speaker 2>great science guy in school, chemistry and physics. I understood

371
00:19:40.279 --> 00:19:44.000
<v Speaker 2>physics better than science than chemistry. Once I saw that

372
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:46.920
<v Speaker 2>periodic table, I was like, I'm supposed to memorize this. No,

373
00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:52.519
<v Speaker 2>didn't worry me too. Well, that's great. Well, that's great.

374
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:54.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure that you're way ahead in the book that

375
00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:57.160
<v Speaker 2>I am though, that's for sure. Thank you so much

376
00:19:57.200 --> 00:19:59.759
<v Speaker 2>for your time tonight. I enjoyed the conversation immensely.

377
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:01.640
<v Speaker 3>Thanks, thank you, thank you.

378
00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:04.000
<v Speaker 2>All Right, we'll take you back to earth a little bit. Here.

379
00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:06.480
<v Speaker 2>We're going to talk with Kelly Eisner. She's the director

380
00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:09.440
<v Speaker 2>of communications for the American Red Cross at Massachusetts. Always

381
00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:14.680
<v Speaker 2>a good time to donate to the Red Cross. March

382
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:18.799
<v Speaker 2>is the blood donors month, Red Cross Month. I will

383
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:21.519
<v Speaker 2>talk about how you can donate, and also you can

384
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:24.960
<v Speaker 2>get tested for free while you donate for a one

385
00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:28.200
<v Speaker 2>C which is an important test that everybody should take periodically.

386
00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:31.400
<v Speaker 2>Be back with Kelly Eisner on night Side right after

387
00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:32.720
<v Speaker 2>this break at the bottom of the hour.

388
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.559
<v Speaker 1>You're on night Side with Dan Ray on WBS, Boston's

389
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:38.240
<v Speaker 1>news radio.

390
00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:42.559
<v Speaker 2>All right, well, March is about, I don't know, twenty

391
00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:44.839
<v Speaker 2>eight hours away or something like that. We are the

392
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:48.880
<v Speaker 2>cusp of March and March, as I understand, that is

393
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:51.599
<v Speaker 2>a very important month for the American Red Cross. It's

394
00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Red Cross Month and with us as Kelly Eisner, director

395
00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:58.480
<v Speaker 2>of Communications for the American Red Cross of Massachusetts. Kelly,

396
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:01.480
<v Speaker 2>is March the big month. We normally think about it

397
00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:04.279
<v Speaker 2>as Saint Patrick's Day and the color would be green,

398
00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:07.599
<v Speaker 2>but is this Red Cross Month coming up as well?

399
00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:08.720
<v Speaker 5>Well?

400
00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:10.680
<v Speaker 6>How about this, how about we'll let it still be

401
00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:13.240
<v Speaker 6>green in Boston but everywhere else it can be read.

402
00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:13.839
<v Speaker 6>Does that work?

403
00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:18.519
<v Speaker 2>That works for me? That works for me? In case

404
00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:21.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't forget. I know Kelly and I've worked with

405
00:21:21.319 --> 00:21:24.880
<v Speaker 2>her husband, Nate. Please sayhead in Nate for me. But

406
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:27.799
<v Speaker 2>having put all of that aside for a moment, I

407
00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:30.759
<v Speaker 2>hope he's doing well. Hope you're doing well. And how

408
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:34.359
<v Speaker 2>important is the month of March to the Red Cross?

409
00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:36.599
<v Speaker 2>And how are we with our blood supply right now

410
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:37.200
<v Speaker 2>as a state?

411
00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:40.960
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely well? And Dan, it's always a pleasure to talk

412
00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:43.200
<v Speaker 6>to you. I know we go way back in Nate

413
00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:50.759
<v Speaker 6>as well when it comes to blood. Honestly, there is

414
00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:53.599
<v Speaker 6>a constant need for blood what we do in March.

415
00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:56.400
<v Speaker 6>And the reason March is so important is since FDR,

416
00:21:56.920 --> 00:22:00.119
<v Speaker 6>every president has signed March has issued to assign a

417
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:04.519
<v Speaker 6>proclamation listing March as Red Cross Months. It's more just

418
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:07.119
<v Speaker 6>to build awareness, to remind people that we are out

419
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:09.880
<v Speaker 6>here in the community, right here in Boston, right here

420
00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:14.839
<v Speaker 6>in Massachusetts and all over the country doing this humanitarian work.

421
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:18.519
<v Speaker 6>So it's just sort of a reminder when you're thinking

422
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:23.880
<v Speaker 6>about the Red Cross. Yes, so you know, every every

423
00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:27.440
<v Speaker 6>year we try to build excitement around it. And one

424
00:22:27.440 --> 00:22:30.519
<v Speaker 6>of the things that we're doing this month is a

425
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:34.519
<v Speaker 6>one C testing for blood owners.

426
00:22:34.680 --> 00:22:37.599
<v Speaker 2>Very important. Tell us I know what a one C

427
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:40.599
<v Speaker 2>is and many of many of our in our audience

428
00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:43.359
<v Speaker 2>know what it is, but some might not. So tell

429
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:45.240
<v Speaker 2>us what is the importance of a one C and

430
00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:47.720
<v Speaker 2>you get an a one C test when you give

431
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:49.359
<v Speaker 2>blood this upcoming.

432
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:55.160
<v Speaker 6>Month, absolutely so. Hemoglobin A one C is a common

433
00:22:55.160 --> 00:22:59.799
<v Speaker 6>blood test for diagnosing diabetes and monitoring blood sugar levels.

434
00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:03.400
<v Speaker 6>It can also give an indication where you might be

435
00:23:05.400 --> 00:23:07.799
<v Speaker 6>you might have pre diabetes, which is a condition that

436
00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:11.599
<v Speaker 6>about eighty percent of the people who have don't know

437
00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:15.480
<v Speaker 6>they are pre diabetic. And it is reversible. It indicates

438
00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:21.240
<v Speaker 6>that your body isn't necessarily regulating your blood sugar successfully

439
00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:24.160
<v Speaker 6>now and that could lead to type two diabetes later

440
00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:27.920
<v Speaker 6>in life. And what's unique is that you don't need

441
00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:32.319
<v Speaker 6>to fast for this a one SEE test, So you know,

442
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:34.920
<v Speaker 6>it's an easy way to just get a little bit

443
00:23:35.079 --> 00:23:39.000
<v Speaker 6>extra information that you can then take to your doctor

444
00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:42.880
<v Speaker 6>and you know, talk about treatment plans and just you know,

445
00:23:42.920 --> 00:23:45.519
<v Speaker 6>any lifestyle changes that you can make now before it

446
00:23:45.519 --> 00:23:48.680
<v Speaker 6>gets to the point of actually having to be controlled

447
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:49.319
<v Speaker 6>by medication.

448
00:23:50.160 --> 00:23:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Now, this is important, And I know you're not a

449
00:23:53.240 --> 00:23:55.319
<v Speaker 2>doctor and you're not going to play one on the radio,

450
00:23:55.599 --> 00:23:58.359
<v Speaker 2>but I don't want people to be intimidated. So if

451
00:23:58.400 --> 00:24:02.359
<v Speaker 2>they do donate blood and find that maybe their A

452
00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:06.480
<v Speaker 2>one C is in getting closer to a more dangerous level,

453
00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:10.599
<v Speaker 2>how difficult is it before you need to take medication?

454
00:24:10.799 --> 00:24:16.519
<v Speaker 2>How significant a change in lifestyle does it take to

455
00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:21.640
<v Speaker 2>reverse this process? I'm asking. I often say to my guests,

456
00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:24.799
<v Speaker 2>we don't prescript questions here, but I don't want people

457
00:24:24.799 --> 00:24:29.559
<v Speaker 2>to be afraid of getting this diagnosis. It's actually good

458
00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:32.039
<v Speaker 2>to find out what your A one C level is,

459
00:24:32.079 --> 00:24:35.240
<v Speaker 2>particularly for people who are not seeing doctors every every

460
00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:40.359
<v Speaker 2>year or so with annual physicals. Does it require a

461
00:24:40.480 --> 00:24:45.319
<v Speaker 2>huge change in your lifestyle to adjust to whatever your

462
00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:46.720
<v Speaker 2>A one C level might be?

463
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:49.880
<v Speaker 6>Well, you know, I think you nailed it down that

464
00:24:50.640 --> 00:24:53.559
<v Speaker 6>right now. You know, I've seen these statistics. Are about

465
00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:57.079
<v Speaker 6>a third of Americans. They're lacking access to regular primary care.

466
00:24:57.279 --> 00:24:59.079
<v Speaker 6>They're not able to go to a doctor, or they're

467
00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:01.519
<v Speaker 6>not going to the doctor on a regular basis. So

468
00:25:01.720 --> 00:25:03.599
<v Speaker 6>this test is a great way to just kind of

469
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:07.799
<v Speaker 6>bring some information to you that you can hopefully then

470
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:11.000
<v Speaker 6>take to a doctor and then that's the point where

471
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:13.599
<v Speaker 6>you can kind of figure out if this is something

472
00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:16.880
<v Speaker 6>that can be addressed with just lifestyle changes, you know, eating.

473
00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:20.400
<v Speaker 6>It's funny, actually a lot of you know, my father

474
00:25:20.519 --> 00:25:22.759
<v Speaker 6>is diabetic, and a lot of the advice that his

475
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:25.599
<v Speaker 6>doctor gave him was kind of the same things that

476
00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:27.279
<v Speaker 6>we'd tell blood donors. You know, you want to eat

477
00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:30.119
<v Speaker 6>a hyprotein loaf fat diet, you want to make sure

478
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:34.039
<v Speaker 6>you're getting all your vegetables, but you know, in some

479
00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:36.880
<v Speaker 6>cases there might be more that needs to be done.

480
00:25:37.480 --> 00:25:40.119
<v Speaker 6>So really it's just a tool to help you and

481
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:43.279
<v Speaker 6>your doctor together kind of work towards that best health plan.

482
00:25:43.960 --> 00:25:47.240
<v Speaker 2>So when folks go and we'll get to the locations

483
00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:49.039
<v Speaker 2>and the times and all of that in a second,

484
00:25:49.039 --> 00:25:53.720
<v Speaker 2>But when folks go to to give you to make

485
00:25:53.759 --> 00:25:57.440
<v Speaker 2>the blood donation, they don't have to fast. I think

486
00:25:57.480 --> 00:25:58.759
<v Speaker 2>you said that was not.

487
00:25:58.680 --> 00:26:04.759
<v Speaker 6>Necessary, correct, And actually we encourage people don't test. You know,

488
00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:06.359
<v Speaker 6>you want to make sure you eat a full meal,

489
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:08.960
<v Speaker 6>a healthy meal the night before you donate, and you

490
00:26:09.000 --> 00:26:11.960
<v Speaker 6>want to get plenty of water before your donation as well,

491
00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:12.640
<v Speaker 6>So don't test.

492
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's fine though, That's good information. And so when

493
00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:20.440
<v Speaker 2>you are given whatever information you are given, do you

494
00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:23.160
<v Speaker 2>get it you know, as you as you leave the

495
00:26:23.160 --> 00:26:25.440
<v Speaker 2>donation center that day and a piece of paper to

496
00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:27.640
<v Speaker 2>take it with you, or is this something that is

497
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:30.119
<v Speaker 2>sent to you a day or so later.

498
00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:35.039
<v Speaker 6>Through it takes about a week, I'm being told, and

499
00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:37.880
<v Speaker 6>you know, we officially start on March first, so that

500
00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:40.640
<v Speaker 6>week might be a little bit longer or less depending.

501
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:45.759
<v Speaker 6>But the where that information goes is into the account

502
00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:48.079
<v Speaker 6>that you use to make your blood donation appointment. So

503
00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:50.240
<v Speaker 6>most people that I talked to use the blood donor

504
00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:54.440
<v Speaker 6>app to schedule their appointment. So there's already a profile

505
00:26:54.480 --> 00:26:56.680
<v Speaker 6>there and the results of the AEC test would be

506
00:26:56.720 --> 00:26:59.519
<v Speaker 6>posted there if you schedule online, if you go to

507
00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:03.200
<v Speaker 6>a Red Cross blood dot org the scheduling appointment, you'll

508
00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:05.920
<v Speaker 6>create a profile there and that's where that information will be.

509
00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:09.640
<v Speaker 6>And when you check in at your blood donation appointment,

510
00:27:09.680 --> 00:27:11.440
<v Speaker 6>they'll make sure that you have the right profile and

511
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:13.519
<v Speaker 6>they'll kind of walk you through how to find exactly

512
00:27:13.559 --> 00:27:14.960
<v Speaker 6>the information that you're looking for.

513
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:19.559
<v Speaker 2>Perfect, Okay, Red crossblood dot org. So how many different locations?

514
00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:24.160
<v Speaker 2>How convenient will it be the donation locations moving around

515
00:27:24.240 --> 00:27:26.720
<v Speaker 2>during during the month of March or are they stationary

516
00:27:26.759 --> 00:27:29.599
<v Speaker 2>in certain locations? How how that going to work?

517
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:34.400
<v Speaker 6>Yes, and yes, I kind.

518
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:35.680
<v Speaker 2>Of thought that was going to be the answer, but

519
00:27:35.720 --> 00:27:38.079
<v Speaker 2>you go ahead and amplify on it for us.

520
00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:41.480
<v Speaker 6>Sure, So everywhere that you can give blood with the

521
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:44.000
<v Speaker 6>Red Cross, you can your blood will be tested for

522
00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:48.799
<v Speaker 6>a one see it'll have the screening in mass two sets.

523
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:52.839
<v Speaker 6>We're lucky. We have nine fixed site locations. These are

524
00:27:52.839 --> 00:27:56.960
<v Speaker 6>like our brick and mortar blood donation centers. The close

525
00:27:57.079 --> 00:28:02.119
<v Speaker 6>one probably too for your listeners, be Weymouth or detim

526
00:28:02.240 --> 00:28:06.079
<v Speaker 6>if Dan versus Boston. We go out as far as

527
00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:09.440
<v Speaker 6>Western Springfield or at all of the blood drives from

528
00:28:09.440 --> 00:28:11.440
<v Speaker 6>the field because again, the blood is tested after it

529
00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:13.519
<v Speaker 6>comes back to our lab. That's part of why it

530
00:28:13.559 --> 00:28:15.440
<v Speaker 6>takes a little bit. There's a little bit of turnaround

531
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:19.720
<v Speaker 6>time for it. Sure, So anywhere you donate with well

532
00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:20.519
<v Speaker 6>you guys, I.

533
00:28:20.440 --> 00:28:24.079
<v Speaker 2>Know you always make it really easy. Uh, and we're

534
00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:29.000
<v Speaker 2>talking about probably it's an hour to get there if

535
00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:32.440
<v Speaker 2>I've recalled correctly, and by telling you blood is donated.

536
00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:34.359
<v Speaker 2>They give you a little while to make sure that

537
00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:37.160
<v Speaker 2>you're all set and ready to go. You're talking about

538
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:39.319
<v Speaker 2>you've got to kind of block out about an hour

539
00:28:39.400 --> 00:28:41.319
<v Speaker 2>from the moment you walk in until the moment you're

540
00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:44.279
<v Speaker 2>going to leave. Is that the turnaround time still approximately?

541
00:28:44.400 --> 00:28:45.440
<v Speaker 6>That is exactly right?

542
00:28:45.920 --> 00:28:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Perfect? Okay, So I think we've covered the waterfront here, Kelly.

543
00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:54.920
<v Speaker 2>The redcrossblood dot org is the website. All the information

544
00:28:55.119 --> 00:28:58.319
<v Speaker 2>is there, and let's hope that many of our listeners

545
00:28:58.359 --> 00:29:02.039
<v Speaker 2>will take advantage at some point during March to participate

546
00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:05.119
<v Speaker 2>and donate some blood. Thank you so much, Kelly. Always

547
00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:06.000
<v Speaker 2>great to talk with you.

548
00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:09.119
<v Speaker 6>Thank you Dan. Nice to talk to you as well.

549
00:29:09.279 --> 00:29:10.920
<v Speaker 2>All right, and say aha to my friend Nate when

550
00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:13.000
<v Speaker 2>you see him tonight. Okay, thanks so much, talk to

551
00:29:13.039 --> 00:29:18.519
<v Speaker 2>you soon. Final break here on this hour of the

552
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:21.599
<v Speaker 2>night side News Update and we get back, we're going

553
00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:23.880
<v Speaker 2>to talk about something all of us should be aware of.

554
00:29:23.960 --> 00:29:26.599
<v Speaker 2>We're going to be talking about in uptick this spring,

555
00:29:27.680 --> 00:29:31.200
<v Speaker 2>in rodents in ticks, just what we don't want to hear.

556
00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:34.519
<v Speaker 2>But let's let's find out how we can deal with

557
00:29:34.559 --> 00:29:38.319
<v Speaker 2>it as most effectively as possible. We have a special

558
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:40.599
<v Speaker 2>guest coming up right after this break. My name is

559
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:44.079
<v Speaker 2>Dan Ray. This is Nightside. To listen to WBZ, Boston's

560
00:29:44.119 --> 00:29:46.160
<v Speaker 2>News Radio ten thirty and your am I. We're an

561
00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:49.559
<v Speaker 2>iHeartRadio station. You can pull down the new and improved

562
00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:53.839
<v Speaker 2>iHeart app and you can preset WBZ on that app,

563
00:29:53.880 --> 00:29:57.599
<v Speaker 2>so you'll always just be a fingertip away from your

564
00:29:57.599 --> 00:30:00.279
<v Speaker 2>favorite radio station. Back on Nightside right after this.

565
00:30:02.119 --> 00:30:05.279
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

566
00:30:05.400 --> 00:30:09.119
<v Speaker 1>Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.

567
00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:15.240
<v Speaker 2>All right, as mentioned earlier tonight, we're getting perilously close.

568
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:19.079
<v Speaker 2>Actually that's a we're delighted that February is almost over.

569
00:30:19.480 --> 00:30:23.839
<v Speaker 2>We'll be in March by Saturday. But with March comes

570
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:27.079
<v Speaker 2>springtime and the return of some of those pests we

571
00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:30.279
<v Speaker 2>don't like with us. As Galvin Murphy, he's a road

572
00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:34.880
<v Speaker 2>and expert preventative controls qualified individual with a company called

573
00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Yankee Pest Control. Now we're not talking about New York

574
00:30:39.640 --> 00:30:43.599
<v Speaker 2>Yankees being pest We're talking your company is Yankee Pest Control,

575
00:30:44.359 --> 00:30:49.559
<v Speaker 2>real pests. Okay, just want to make sure what we're

576
00:30:49.559 --> 00:30:50.400
<v Speaker 2>talking about here.

577
00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:53.480
<v Speaker 5>The two legget past our extra charge. You know, they're

578
00:30:53.480 --> 00:30:54.079
<v Speaker 5>a little extra.

579
00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:56.960
<v Speaker 2>No, I understand that there's not much you talk about them,

580
00:30:57.039 --> 00:30:58.680
<v Speaker 2>that's for sure. But I think the red sox will

581
00:30:58.680 --> 00:31:01.400
<v Speaker 2>be in better shape this year. That's my prediction. You

582
00:31:01.519 --> 00:31:03.519
<v Speaker 2>have a prediction that we're going to see an uptick

583
00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:06.640
<v Speaker 2>in rodents and ticks. Why would that be.

584
00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:11.920
<v Speaker 5>The principle behind the roadman tech increase is really the

585
00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:15.519
<v Speaker 5>weather patterns in the Boston area. We've just I think

586
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:18.759
<v Speaker 5>everybody has noticed the shorter winters if we're just not

587
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:21.960
<v Speaker 5>getting those deep freezes, which it's just not interrupting the

588
00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:25.200
<v Speaker 5>reproductive cycle of the rats for us. So it really

589
00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:28.279
<v Speaker 5>the winters of old seem to be gone and we're

590
00:31:28.319 --> 00:31:30.880
<v Speaker 5>really taking a beating on the rat populations, that's for sure.

591
00:31:31.200 --> 00:31:32.480
<v Speaker 5>Well so I think in a few weeks.

592
00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:36.000
<v Speaker 2>But we've we've just gone through two pretty cold months here.

593
00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:39.559
<v Speaker 5>Galvin, it is it is been. We've had a good winter.

594
00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:41.240
<v Speaker 5>But I think the next couple of weeks, once we

595
00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:42.880
<v Speaker 5>have a quick melt, I mean all week it's been

596
00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:46.200
<v Speaker 5>fifty and we're already getting termite swarms. So I think

597
00:31:46.640 --> 00:31:49.160
<v Speaker 5>a lot of these ticks will be out earlier than normal.

598
00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:51.680
<v Speaker 5>For those folks looking out to get out hiking and

599
00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:54.400
<v Speaker 5>walking a little earlier should have a little extra precautions

600
00:31:54.440 --> 00:31:56.559
<v Speaker 5>with them. But with the rats, I think they'll be

601
00:31:56.559 --> 00:31:59.400
<v Speaker 5>out in scavenging for food a lot sooner than the

602
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:00.519
<v Speaker 5>normal as well as you.

603
00:32:01.119 --> 00:32:03.640
<v Speaker 2>So, now, when we think of rats, we think of

604
00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:08.880
<v Speaker 2>downtown Boston, and I'm not talking about the city councilors, okay,

605
00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:12.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about their whole legged rats in downtown Boston

606
00:32:13.079 --> 00:32:18.440
<v Speaker 2>and in other major cities. How far is the rat

607
00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:24.720
<v Speaker 2>population from just the downtown area. I mean, obviously you

608
00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:27.680
<v Speaker 2>have the outer city in Boston, you have you know,

609
00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:31.079
<v Speaker 2>the the you know, what we think of as the

610
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:35.200
<v Speaker 2>nice neighborhoods. But I think sometimes the rats can be

611
00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:37.759
<v Speaker 2>found in the nice neighborhoods. And then we get to

612
00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:43.279
<v Speaker 2>the suburbs, the community surrounding Boston. How far do these rats.

613
00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:47.720
<v Speaker 5>Roam typically from their area of rest or they're you know,

614
00:32:47.799 --> 00:32:49.759
<v Speaker 5>let's call it a dumper and alleyway if we're talking

615
00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:52.880
<v Speaker 5>the city, maybe one hundred feet at most. If they

616
00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:56.039
<v Speaker 5>have a nice comfortable area of food, maybe fifty to

617
00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:58.759
<v Speaker 5>one hundred feet. You know, in laboratory settings you can

618
00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:02.200
<v Speaker 5>see them go a couple hundred feet, but in you know,

619
00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:06.440
<v Speaker 5>you make a good it is it is in suburbia though,

620
00:33:06.480 --> 00:33:08.759
<v Speaker 5>Like you make a great point that ninety five Belt

621
00:33:09.359 --> 00:33:12.559
<v Speaker 5>is really active when it wasn't just say, fifteen twenty

622
00:33:12.640 --> 00:33:16.599
<v Speaker 5>years ago. And we're hitting our communities, you know, Danvis, Islington,

623
00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:20.400
<v Speaker 5>some of these these like interfacing cities that are really

624
00:33:20.480 --> 00:33:24.720
<v Speaker 5>pushing on suburbia are having a beautiful problem with the

625
00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:26.240
<v Speaker 5>rat infestation that's popping up.

626
00:33:26.880 --> 00:33:29.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm not sure it's a beautiful problem. It's a

627
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:34.160
<v Speaker 2>it's a problem. Nonetheless, Okay, it is, it is? And

628
00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:39.519
<v Speaker 2>what do you mostly deal with commercial businesses or do

629
00:33:39.559 --> 00:33:44.000
<v Speaker 2>you also deal with the home issues, the peak, the

630
00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:44.960
<v Speaker 2>neighborhood issues.

631
00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:49.559
<v Speaker 5>So that Yankee pasta profile is about fifty percent residential

632
00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:52.920
<v Speaker 5>and about fifty percent commercial. But the commercial arena is

633
00:33:52.920 --> 00:33:55.720
<v Speaker 5>really driven by you guess that a rat population or

634
00:33:55.839 --> 00:33:59.839
<v Speaker 5>rodent populations feeding in dumpsters, et cetera. So we we

635
00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:02.400
<v Speaker 5>in right down the middle of nice Staff that covers

636
00:34:02.400 --> 00:34:04.680
<v Speaker 5>both residential you know, all the way up to Worcester,

637
00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:07.559
<v Speaker 5>down the Cape and up to New Hampshire. But that

638
00:34:07.559 --> 00:34:10.599
<v Speaker 5>that commercial work is really inside that ninety five belt

639
00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:12.400
<v Speaker 5>where we have our you know, a lot of these

640
00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:14.519
<v Speaker 5>studies are going to tell us that that dense urban

641
00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:17.320
<v Speaker 5>sprawl is where your rats are going to thrive. And

642
00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:20.079
<v Speaker 5>I don't think that's a secret to anybody. You know,

643
00:34:20.119 --> 00:34:22.679
<v Speaker 5>the North Shore neighborhoods, the you know, the more compact

644
00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:26.000
<v Speaker 5>neighborhoods of Boston proper. And even when you get down

645
00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:29.360
<v Speaker 5>to your old neighborhood down hydepoc Readville, you'll start seeing

646
00:34:29.360 --> 00:34:31.800
<v Speaker 5>some of that activity, even though it's a little more

647
00:34:31.840 --> 00:34:34.599
<v Speaker 5>suburban feeling in that part of town. So that that's

648
00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:37.719
<v Speaker 5>something we haven't seen in fifteen years, twenty years, that

649
00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:38.519
<v Speaker 5>much activity.

650
00:34:39.440 --> 00:34:41.639
<v Speaker 2>Why have they not been able to come up with

651
00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:48.519
<v Speaker 2>dumpsters which do not you know, that that rats can't

652
00:34:48.559 --> 00:34:51.880
<v Speaker 2>get into. It seems to me that they talk about

653
00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:54.119
<v Speaker 2>in the old days, anyone who could who could invent

654
00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:57.039
<v Speaker 2>a perfect mouse trap the world would be the patent

655
00:34:57.119 --> 00:35:00.800
<v Speaker 2>to your door. Why is it that with all of

656
00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:03.760
<v Speaker 2>these dumpsters. I mean, you're in Boston and you see

657
00:35:03.800 --> 00:35:06.039
<v Speaker 2>and you see litter on the street, and you see

658
00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:09.000
<v Speaker 2>the right pizza crusts on the street, and you just

659
00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:13.400
<v Speaker 2>realize that if if everybody pitched in and cut off

660
00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:18.000
<v Speaker 2>their food source, they wouldn't be able to survive as

661
00:35:18.039 --> 00:35:19.199
<v Speaker 2>comfortably as they do.

662
00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:22.400
<v Speaker 5>You nailed it, and you didn't even mean to it.

663
00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:24.440
<v Speaker 5>So we have a people problem. You know, the rat

664
00:35:24.480 --> 00:35:27.440
<v Speaker 5>problem is just benefiting off of our people problem. You know,

665
00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:30.119
<v Speaker 5>there're are dumpsters out there. There's beautiful trash cans out

666
00:35:30.119 --> 00:35:33.519
<v Speaker 5>there that are virtually rodent resistant, and I wouldn't call

667
00:35:33.559 --> 00:35:36.400
<v Speaker 5>them rodent proof, but we have a people problem. The

668
00:35:36.440 --> 00:35:39.199
<v Speaker 5>trash is around the dumpster. It doesn't get in the dumpster,

669
00:35:40.199 --> 00:35:42.360
<v Speaker 5>you know, the trash is next to the barrel, you

670
00:35:42.360 --> 00:35:44.880
<v Speaker 5>know on Faniel Hall park Way there, or it just

671
00:35:44.880 --> 00:35:48.000
<v Speaker 5>doesn't make it in the barrel. So that's the ultimate

672
00:35:48.199 --> 00:35:50.679
<v Speaker 5>correction and we need to fix it. You know, we

673
00:35:50.719 --> 00:35:53.599
<v Speaker 5>can kill the rats. We have great tools. There's beautiful

674
00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:56.239
<v Speaker 5>mouse traps out there. You know, you get equipment like

675
00:35:56.320 --> 00:35:59.480
<v Speaker 5>carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, which is new to the industry,

676
00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:04.000
<v Speaker 5>really been impactful for stopping rat populations, but it doesn't

677
00:36:04.039 --> 00:36:06.840
<v Speaker 5>stop the emergence of the people problems that we have

678
00:36:07.000 --> 00:36:10.039
<v Speaker 5>and again the densely packed communities. So there are some

679
00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:10.920
<v Speaker 5>good tools out there.

680
00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:14.280
<v Speaker 2>The other thing which I people think don't realize is

681
00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:19.480
<v Speaker 2>that whenever you're in a coastal city, rats can thrive

682
00:36:20.719 --> 00:36:25.559
<v Speaker 2>because in nearby ocean waters and the wharfs and things

683
00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:28.119
<v Speaker 2>like that. Am I am I close to the truth

684
00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:28.480
<v Speaker 2>on that.

685
00:36:29.719 --> 00:36:32.199
<v Speaker 5>You're warm there there is you know, let's talk to seaport.

686
00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:35.119
<v Speaker 5>You know, how does the seaport look since ten fifteen

687
00:36:35.159 --> 00:36:39.199
<v Speaker 5>years ago. It's a whole nother planet. In the higher

688
00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:41.800
<v Speaker 5>end stuff that's going down there, the tolerance level of

689
00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:45.599
<v Speaker 5>that consumer is low. You know, your pharmaceutical buildings down there,

690
00:36:45.639 --> 00:36:48.920
<v Speaker 5>your high end apartments, the tolerance is lower. So you're

691
00:36:48.920 --> 00:36:52.679
<v Speaker 5>seeing a little more of pressure on the pest control

692
00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:56.280
<v Speaker 5>companies in that area to perform, even when there's densely

693
00:36:56.320 --> 00:37:00.000
<v Speaker 5>populated neighborhoods like that on the waterfront, but it's steady.

694
00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:03.639
<v Speaker 5>The waterfronts are old, like people consider them old millle areas,

695
00:37:03.679 --> 00:37:06.920
<v Speaker 5>but our waterfront is probably the newest and higher end

696
00:37:06.960 --> 00:37:10.079
<v Speaker 5>area of you know, in New England. So it's kind

697
00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:11.760
<v Speaker 5>of a contrast for us. You know, if you make

698
00:37:11.800 --> 00:37:13.360
<v Speaker 5>your way up the sea coast, you know, to some

699
00:37:13.440 --> 00:37:16.599
<v Speaker 5>of the fishing plants in Gloucester and Salem, you really

700
00:37:16.599 --> 00:37:17.760
<v Speaker 5>see the populations move.

701
00:37:18.119 --> 00:37:21.519
<v Speaker 2>So so the seaport is pretty good. Well, look on Galvin,

702
00:37:21.559 --> 00:37:24.079
<v Speaker 2>we learned a lot, that's for sure. What's your company's

703
00:37:24.119 --> 00:37:26.199
<v Speaker 2>website in case anyone wants to get in touch with you.

704
00:37:27.079 --> 00:37:30.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's Yankeepestcontrol dot com or Yankeepest dot com. And

705
00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:33.559
<v Speaker 5>we're a family owned and veteran owned and operated company.

706
00:37:33.639 --> 00:37:35.760
<v Speaker 5>So we've been in the area for about thirty five

707
00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:38.119
<v Speaker 5>years now. So thanks to my father.

708
00:37:38.880 --> 00:37:41.119
<v Speaker 2>Well, Galvin, thanks very much. I'm not sure if you're

709
00:37:41.159 --> 00:37:43.320
<v Speaker 2>a Hyde Park guy or a readvill guy, but that

710
00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:47.360
<v Speaker 2>was my stomping grounds many years.

711
00:37:47.440 --> 00:37:49.639
<v Speaker 5>Very good, excellent, Thank you very much, mister Ray. I

712
00:37:49.679 --> 00:37:50.159
<v Speaker 5>appreciate it.

713
00:37:50.199 --> 00:37:52.039
<v Speaker 2>Sir, you can call me Dan. I'm not that old.

714
00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:54.719
<v Speaker 2>Thanks Galvin, we'll talk soon. Appreciate it very much. Make

715
00:37:54.719 --> 00:37:56.760
<v Speaker 2>you great one, all right, and we get back going

716
00:37:56.760 --> 00:38:00.320
<v Speaker 2>to talk about the New England Patriots, their complaints about

717
00:38:00.360 --> 00:38:04.039
<v Speaker 2>their facilities and their treatment for a team that didn't

718
00:38:04.079 --> 00:38:05.880
<v Speaker 2>do very well this year. I think they were four

719
00:38:05.920 --> 00:38:08.880
<v Speaker 2>and fourteen if I recall correctly, and they kind of

720
00:38:08.960 --> 00:38:14.360
<v Speaker 2>let their coach down. They're complaining quite a bit, and

721
00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:16.199
<v Speaker 2>I think I want to talk about it. We normally

722
00:38:16.239 --> 00:38:18.880
<v Speaker 2>don't do sports, but if you're a football fan, if

723
00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:23.559
<v Speaker 2>you saw this report card from the players, that I

724
00:38:23.599 --> 00:38:27.920
<v Speaker 2>think deserves some commentary and hopefully your participation. Back on

725
00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:30.400
<v Speaker 2>Night's side. Right after the news at nine pm,
