00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:04.799
<v Speaker 1>It's night Side, Dan ray I'm telling you crazy Boston's

2
00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:05.960
<v Speaker 1>news Radio.

3
00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:09.359
<v Speaker 2>Thank you Madison. As we start off on a Tuesday night,

4
00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:12.320
<v Speaker 2>beautiful early weather here in May for New England. Huh,

5
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:14.599
<v Speaker 2>how about some global warming. Let's warm it up to

6
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:17.120
<v Speaker 2>about seventy five degrees that would be nice. My name's

7
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:20.879
<v Speaker 2>Dan Rayam, the host of Nightside, heard every weeknight Monday

8
00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:24.079
<v Speaker 2>through Friday, as to fined weeknights from eight to midnight

9
00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:27.719
<v Speaker 2>right here on w BZ, Boston's news Radio. Rob Brooks,

10
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:30.719
<v Speaker 2>of course, is in control in the control room tonight.

11
00:00:31.239 --> 00:00:34.159
<v Speaker 2>He's ablely assisted by the new man on deck, Brian.

12
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:38.200
<v Speaker 2>But Brian, welcome to Nightside. Looking forward to working with

13
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:41.679
<v Speaker 2>you for the next couple of nights, as Rob has

14
00:00:41.719 --> 00:00:45.799
<v Speaker 2>a two or three, maybe even four well deserved nights off. Now,

15
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:48.600
<v Speaker 2>before we get started, let me just make note of

16
00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:51.640
<v Speaker 2>a very simple fact. My name's Dan Rayam, the host

17
00:00:51.679 --> 00:00:53.600
<v Speaker 2>of the show, by the way, But the fact I

18
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:58.079
<v Speaker 2>want to make everybody aware of is today is Nurse

19
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:01.479
<v Speaker 2>Appreciation Day. And if this any group of people who

20
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:07.760
<v Speaker 2>all of us should appreciate without exception, nurses. Nurses are

21
00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:13.239
<v Speaker 2>the Florence nightingales that are at with us at the

22
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:19.079
<v Speaker 2>most difficult moments of our lives. They are there when

23
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:22.040
<v Speaker 2>our children are born, They're there when our parents pass,

24
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:25.959
<v Speaker 2>They're there when we deal with any form of illness

25
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:30.560
<v Speaker 2>or sickness or problem whatsoever. And again, if you know

26
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:33.840
<v Speaker 2>a nurse, let that nurse know today that you appreciate

27
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:36.599
<v Speaker 2>them not only as a friend, but for what they do.

28
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:40.959
<v Speaker 2>It is a profession, it is a vocation. And some

29
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:43.040
<v Speaker 2>of the most incredible people I know, and some of

30
00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:47.400
<v Speaker 2>the nicest people I know, aren't nurses, men and women

31
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:52.079
<v Speaker 2>who devote their time to caring for patients. Doctors are important,

32
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:55.560
<v Speaker 2>no question about that, but I would much prefer to

33
00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:00.480
<v Speaker 2>have a nurse at bedside to help in whatever set

34
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:04.319
<v Speaker 2>of circumstances one needed to be helped with than a doctor.

35
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.120
<v Speaker 2>Doctors are great, don't get me wrong. Okay, I get it,

36
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:10.080
<v Speaker 2>And in the pecking order, doctors are above nurses, I

37
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:13.120
<v Speaker 2>get it, But not in my pecking order, nurses are

38
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:17.000
<v Speaker 2>at the top of the heap. Having said that, we

39
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:22.680
<v Speaker 2>are going to now move in to our four guests

40
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:26.039
<v Speaker 2>during this hour of the Nightside News Update, and we

41
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:30.560
<v Speaker 2>are going to talk about the early onset of puberty.

42
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Kids are experiencing puberty a little earlier perhaps than prior generations,

43
00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:41.039
<v Speaker 2>which I think doesn't make it any easier for parents

44
00:02:41.039 --> 00:02:43.759
<v Speaker 2>of kids who are either going through or about to

45
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:47.919
<v Speaker 2>go through puberty with us as Doctor Ryl Gonzalez Ziegler,

46
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:50.960
<v Speaker 2>she's a psychologist, wrote the book The Crucial Years, The

47
00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:55.479
<v Speaker 2>Essential Guide to Mental Health and Modern Puberty in Middle Childhood.

48
00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:01.319
<v Speaker 2>Really interesting title, Doctor Gonzalez Ziegler, welcome tonight's side. How

49
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:01.599
<v Speaker 2>are you.

50
00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:05.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm good, How are you? Thanks so much for having me.

51
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I assume that going through puberty is not the

52
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:13.800
<v Speaker 2>easiest time of most of our lives. Lots of questions

53
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:17.000
<v Speaker 2>pretty much like, what the hell's going on with me?

54
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:23.199
<v Speaker 2>How can you make it a little easier on people

55
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:28.159
<v Speaker 2>who are passing through that transition from a child to

56
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:32.759
<v Speaker 2>a teenager or an adolescent, And how can you make

57
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.120
<v Speaker 2>it easier on the parents who have to also once

58
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:40.360
<v Speaker 2>again make that trek that they themselves had made maybe

59
00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:41.800
<v Speaker 2>twenty or thirty years prior.

60
00:03:43.560 --> 00:03:45.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, you raised a really good point. We all

61
00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:48.439
<v Speaker 3>went through it. If we're still here and alive, we

62
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:51.680
<v Speaker 3>went through it ourselves. But the difference is we were

63
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:56.400
<v Speaker 3>probably older, we didn't have social media, we didn't have

64
00:03:56.520 --> 00:04:00.240
<v Speaker 3>the level of stress that we're today's kids being exposed to,

65
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:04.080
<v Speaker 3>so it's like a very similar process but also in

66
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:07.360
<v Speaker 3>a really different time. So I think one of the

67
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:09.960
<v Speaker 3>things to start with is for parents to really understand

68
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.639
<v Speaker 3>just how much younger kids are going through puberty. On average,

69
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:18.639
<v Speaker 3>Since the nineteen eighties, it's dropped three months per decade,

70
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:22.680
<v Speaker 3>so we're really talking about, in some cases, three to

71
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:27.639
<v Speaker 3>five years earlier. And we are talking about parents who

72
00:04:27.639 --> 00:04:31.319
<v Speaker 3>are also themselves under a tremendous amount of stress, the

73
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:36.240
<v Speaker 3>most stressed outparenting generation that's ever been studied. So we

74
00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:38.879
<v Speaker 3>have kids who are going through puberty when they should

75
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 3>still be in this middle childhood phase and not adolescents,

76
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:44.240
<v Speaker 3>and then we also have parents who have a lot

77
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:47.839
<v Speaker 3>of stress, and the combination is something that I'm really

78
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:49.040
<v Speaker 3>excited to start talking about.

79
00:04:49.079 --> 00:04:49.560
<v Speaker 4>What to do?

80
00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what what should we do? I mean, I'm assuming

81
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:55.360
<v Speaker 2>that's the topic of the book, The Crucial Years, The

82
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:58.519
<v Speaker 2>Essential Guide to Mental Health and Modern Puberty in middle Childhood.

83
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:00.399
<v Speaker 2>We're not going to be able to cover the book

84
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.160
<v Speaker 2>and the few minutes that we have, but give us

85
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:07.040
<v Speaker 2>some certainly a couple of pointers that maybe people might

86
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:11.439
<v Speaker 2>latch onto and perhaps can convince or persuade them that

87
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:13.399
<v Speaker 2>this is a book that they should get.

88
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:18.319
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think one of the things to understand is, yes,

89
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:21.399
<v Speaker 3>kids are going through puberty earlier. But the really key

90
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:24.160
<v Speaker 3>part as well is, I mean, sometimes people want to

91
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:25.879
<v Speaker 3>know why, and there's a couple of reasons that are

92
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.240
<v Speaker 3>thought to be why we have a childhood obesity epidemic.

93
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:33.240
<v Speaker 3>We have children under stress and stress appears to trigger puberty.

94
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:36.639
<v Speaker 3>And we have environmental toxins and hormones in the foods

95
00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:40.360
<v Speaker 3>that the kids are eating that are endocrine disruptors. So

96
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:43.240
<v Speaker 3>there are reasons, but those are not things we're going

97
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:46.920
<v Speaker 3>to probably solve overnight. So I think that one of

98
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.600
<v Speaker 3>the things that's really helpful for parents to understand is

99
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:54.199
<v Speaker 3>that the developmental stage of middle childhood is actually meant

100
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:58.319
<v Speaker 3>to help a kid become capable and confident. It's called

101
00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:03.160
<v Speaker 3>industry versus in inferiority, which in today's terms just basically

102
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:05.480
<v Speaker 3>means a kid gets to be about twelve or thirteen

103
00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:08.040
<v Speaker 3>and they should leave this stage and go on to

104
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:11.959
<v Speaker 3>the teen years being confident, knowing what they're capable of.

105
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.439
<v Speaker 3>That's the positive outcome if they go through these years

106
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:19.040
<v Speaker 3>and they feel like they don't know what they're confident

107
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:21.120
<v Speaker 3>and they don't know what they're good at. Then they

108
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:24.800
<v Speaker 3>leave feeling what we call having low self esteem. And

109
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:28.399
<v Speaker 3>so I think the key for this is what parents

110
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:32.040
<v Speaker 3>can do is allow your kid to go ahead and

111
00:06:32.079 --> 00:06:35.319
<v Speaker 3>take risks, to allow them to try things they're going

112
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:39.319
<v Speaker 3>to fail at. To keep space and hold space for

113
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:44.600
<v Speaker 3>play and just spending time outside and really watching the

114
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:48.439
<v Speaker 3>screen time. Because what we see is now we have

115
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:50.800
<v Speaker 3>kids who are nine and ten years old, they're still

116
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:53.519
<v Speaker 3>in elementary school, they're going through puberty, and then all

117
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:55.959
<v Speaker 3>of a sudden, the world looks at them like they're

118
00:06:56.000 --> 00:07:00.160
<v Speaker 3>older and they treat them older, which inevitably kind of that,

119
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:02.439
<v Speaker 3>you know, shortens their childhood in a sense.

120
00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:06.600
<v Speaker 2>You've raised so many good points I couldn't even begin

121
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.000
<v Speaker 2>to respond to them. I guess the one question I'm

122
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:12.399
<v Speaker 2>going to ask this is a broad question, and it's probably,

123
00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:16.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, sort of a devil's advocate question, and

124
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:17.560
<v Speaker 2>we all thinking this.

125
00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:23.040
<v Speaker 3>I'm glad you asked me that devil's advocate question. No

126
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:27.160
<v Speaker 3>one else has asked me that today. Are we overthinking it?

127
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:30.879
<v Speaker 3>We're not. I mean, we have one in five kids

128
00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:36.519
<v Speaker 3>that have a diagnosable mental health condition. We have kids

129
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:41.600
<v Speaker 3>who are developing. Their bodies are developing, you know, starting

130
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:45.160
<v Speaker 3>for girls nine years old and for boys ten years old,

131
00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:48.519
<v Speaker 3>and so when we look at okay, so maybe they are.

132
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:51.560
<v Speaker 3>Is that really a big deal? I have a long

133
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:53.240
<v Speaker 3>list that if I read it all, it would be

134
00:07:53.240 --> 00:07:57.480
<v Speaker 3>really scary, I think to parents. But earlier puberty has

135
00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:01.160
<v Speaker 3>I'll just tell you some of the negative outcomes. Increase

136
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:06.439
<v Speaker 3>risk of depression, increased anxiety, increased substance use and abuse,

137
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:12.519
<v Speaker 3>increased eating disorders, embody dissatisfaction. There's actually a lot of

138
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:16.680
<v Speaker 3>really negative outcomes that are studied when we look at

139
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:19.639
<v Speaker 3>what happens to kids who go through earlier puberty. So

140
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:21.920
<v Speaker 3>it's a great question, But the truth is we have

141
00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:25.639
<v Speaker 3>a youth mental health crisis that actually is starting in

142
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:30.199
<v Speaker 3>middle childhood and just doesn't get the attention until they're teenagers.

143
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:32.279
<v Speaker 3>And that's really the spirit of the book is to say,

144
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:34.799
<v Speaker 3>I think that we can prevent a lot of the

145
00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:37.919
<v Speaker 3>things that we're seeing in our teens right now by

146
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:41.320
<v Speaker 3>really focusing on the stage right before when the parents

147
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:44.919
<v Speaker 3>actually have the most amount of influence and can instill

148
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:48.000
<v Speaker 3>their values onto their kids, and the kid still wants

149
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:50.200
<v Speaker 3>to be with you, They still want to cuddle whole hands,

150
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:53.679
<v Speaker 3>watch movies. You've got like six to twelve to actually

151
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:55.759
<v Speaker 3>get to talk to your kid and do that before

152
00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:59.559
<v Speaker 3>they become an adolescent. Anytime thirteen fourteen years old where

153
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:01.279
<v Speaker 3>they rest start separating from you.

154
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:04.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and that's when that's when you start to think

155
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:07.080
<v Speaker 2>back and wish they were back in the terrible twos.

156
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Doctor Cheryl Gonzaleziegeler, thank you very much the book The

157
00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:13.440
<v Speaker 2>Crucial Years, The Essential Guide to Mental health and modern

158
00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.799
<v Speaker 2>puberty in middle childhood. Thanks so much for being with us.

159
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:21.240
<v Speaker 2>This probably deserves a longer conversation, but that's all the

160
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:23.799
<v Speaker 2>time we have for tonight. I assume this book is

161
00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:27.399
<v Speaker 2>now out available Amazon dot com probably the easiest place

162
00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:28.559
<v Speaker 2>to procure the book.

163
00:09:28.600 --> 00:09:32.480
<v Speaker 3>Correct, that's right, anywhere books are sold. It's out today.

164
00:09:33.240 --> 00:09:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, perfect timing, doctor Cheryl Gonzales Ziegler. Appreciate your

165
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:41.559
<v Speaker 2>time tonight, your great interview. And I'd like to ask

166
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:46.759
<v Speaker 2>devil devilish questions. Okay, that's that's what I'm doing it.

167
00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:49.559
<v Speaker 2>Thank you very much. I think outside the box. I'm

168
00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:52.159
<v Speaker 2>an outside the box sort of guy. Thank you very much.

169
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:52.840
<v Speaker 4>I appreciate it.

170
00:09:52.879 --> 00:09:56.360
<v Speaker 2>All Right, we'll be back and we're gonna tell you

171
00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:00.919
<v Speaker 2>what US News and World Reports thinks are the best

172
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:05.960
<v Speaker 2>states in America. Massachusetts is not number one. I'll tell

173
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:08.360
<v Speaker 2>you what number two is, New Hampshire. That's the teas.

174
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:12.080
<v Speaker 2>We'll be back on Nightside right after this very quick break.

175
00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Right after this, it's Nightside with Dan Ray on Boston's

176
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:19.240
<v Speaker 1>news Radio.

177
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:24.919
<v Speaker 2>All Right, US World News Reports they love to do

178
00:10:25.039 --> 00:10:29.120
<v Speaker 2>different rankings, and they have ranked the best states for

179
00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:34.559
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five with US as Joscelyn Jeffrey Wilynsky. She's

180
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:39.120
<v Speaker 2>the US News Senior data editor, Jocelin. Welcome to Nightside.

181
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:41.039
<v Speaker 5>Hi, thanks for having me.

182
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:44.320
<v Speaker 2>Well, I notice, by the way, do you do this

183
00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:44.919
<v Speaker 2>every year?

184
00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:49.919
<v Speaker 5>US News does this every year? Full disclosure, this is

185
00:10:49.919 --> 00:10:50.759
<v Speaker 5>my first year.

186
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, this is probably the best year it's ever done that.

187
00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:54.399
<v Speaker 2>So that's why I asked the question.

188
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:57.080
<v Speaker 5>Yes, obviously, clearly, clearly.

189
00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:00.759
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So does the rank change much from year to

190
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:05.960
<v Speaker 2>year or no? I know that obviously you want to

191
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:08.720
<v Speaker 2>do it on an annual basis, But before we get

192
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:11.720
<v Speaker 2>to the ranking this year, is it fundamentally the same

193
00:11:11.720 --> 00:11:13.519
<v Speaker 2>as the last few years.

194
00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:17.279
<v Speaker 5>I will say for almost all the states, the rankings

195
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:19.559
<v Speaker 5>stay pretty stable from year to year, and we try

196
00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:22.159
<v Speaker 5>to keep the methodology is really consistent and just updating

197
00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:24.759
<v Speaker 5>the data. There are a few exceptions, but certainly when

198
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:27.320
<v Speaker 5>it came to Massachusetts, it's been kind of in this

199
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:28.919
<v Speaker 5>upper echelon for a long time.

200
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:33.679
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, no, that I would expect that. But I'm

201
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:39.240
<v Speaker 2>surprised that we're not number one. We're number seven or

202
00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:42.799
<v Speaker 2>number nine. I guess we're number nine, excuse me, nine

203
00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:45.440
<v Speaker 2>ninut of fifty. That's not bad. But you know, when

204
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:47.399
<v Speaker 2>you think about it, it's probably like an eighty two

205
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.360
<v Speaker 2>score off of one hundred. You taught is number one.

206
00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:56.919
<v Speaker 2>So what makes the big difference between you taught and Massachusetts?

207
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:01.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Romney was governor here, he's just resigned or

208
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:04.960
<v Speaker 2>he's just retired as a senator from Utah, we have

209
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:11.120
<v Speaker 2>better sports teams here. How does Utah jump eight points

210
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:14.279
<v Speaker 2>ahead of Massachusetts. I know it's easier to spell, I

211
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:17.840
<v Speaker 2>get that, but give us but we always assume we

212
00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:20.960
<v Speaker 2>have the best medical, we have the best educational, we

213
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:27.039
<v Speaker 2>have the best sports teams. Is how would you distinguish

214
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:31.080
<v Speaker 2>between Utah number one in Massachusetts number nine.

215
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:36.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, the thing and Utah people are always it's a

216
00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:38.679
<v Speaker 5>pretty controversial finding. It's the third year in a row

217
00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:40.639
<v Speaker 5>that Utah has been the top state. And what I

218
00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:44.960
<v Speaker 5>like to say is Utah's main advantage is consistency. You know,

219
00:12:45.200 --> 00:12:48.240
<v Speaker 5>there are some categories where Massachusetts outperformed it, for sure,

220
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:51.679
<v Speaker 5>but there are also categories where Massachusetts was ranked much lower,

221
00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:54.799
<v Speaker 5>and Utah was just good enough in every category except

222
00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:57.240
<v Speaker 5>for one for environment to push it to that number

223
00:12:57.240 --> 00:13:00.559
<v Speaker 5>one rank. Now you're spot on in Massachusetts is very

224
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:04.159
<v Speaker 5>highly ranked for healthcare, education, environment, and a few others,

225
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:07.279
<v Speaker 5>but that's sort of balanced out by pretty low rankings

226
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:08.320
<v Speaker 5>in some other areas.

227
00:13:08.919 --> 00:13:11.600
<v Speaker 2>What are our low rankings in Massachusetts? We have to

228
00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:13.799
<v Speaker 2>look at the good, the bad, and the ugly.

229
00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:18.440
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely, you and listeners probably won't be too surprised to

230
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:21.519
<v Speaker 5>find out that most of them come down to affordability.

231
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:27.120
<v Speaker 5>Massachusetts is I think the third worst for affordability. It's

232
00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:29.879
<v Speaker 5>also the third worst for the Jinny Index, which is

233
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:36.120
<v Speaker 5>a measure of income inequality, as well as the second

234
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:39.320
<v Speaker 5>worst for debt at graduation. So you're just kind of

235
00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:42.759
<v Speaker 5>seeing throughout the rankings spread across the different categories. This

236
00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:46.399
<v Speaker 5>evidence of the affordability crisis manifesting itself.

237
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:49.159
<v Speaker 2>We're also a very high tax state. I'm sure you

238
00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:52.919
<v Speaker 2>realize that we've just changed our constitution, so we're going

239
00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:56.639
<v Speaker 2>to drive millionaires out of Massachusetts because we're now whacking

240
00:13:56.679 --> 00:14:01.679
<v Speaker 2>people penalizing people who are more successful. The number two

241
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:06.960
<v Speaker 2>state was one of my favorite states, New Hampshire, which

242
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:10.960
<v Speaker 2>is just to our northern border. New Hampshire, and I

243
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:13.000
<v Speaker 2>don't know if you take this and get us consideration.

244
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:16.600
<v Speaker 2>They're north of us, and they have much better roads

245
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:20.919
<v Speaker 2>than we do, and they maintained their roads at about

246
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:24.480
<v Speaker 2>twenty five percent the cost on a per mile basis

247
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:29.320
<v Speaker 2>as we do here in Massachusetts. And it's and governors

248
00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:31.720
<v Speaker 2>sooner when I used to talk about this all the time.

249
00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:34.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's so much money that we spend in

250
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:38.879
<v Speaker 2>Massachusetts on things like infrastructure, and at the end of

251
00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:43.000
<v Speaker 2>the day, we leave the league in potholes. So I

252
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:47.679
<v Speaker 2>think you're giving Massachusetts an inflated rate. Really, as someone's

253
00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:49.519
<v Speaker 2>living in my entire life.

254
00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:52.320
<v Speaker 5>So well, I will say, oh, sorry, go ahead.

255
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:54.919
<v Speaker 2>And then the other thing is we have a one

256
00:14:54.960 --> 00:15:00.000
<v Speaker 2>party state in Massachusetts. We don't have any legitimate political

257
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:03.639
<v Speaker 2>goal competition like they have in Utah and they have

258
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:07.440
<v Speaker 2>in New Hampshire. So yeah, yeah, you should. You might

259
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:09.200
<v Speaker 2>want to put that one in because I think that

260
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:12.519
<v Speaker 2>a lot of states that are one party states, they

261
00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:16.000
<v Speaker 2>get a little overconfident. And I know that there's some

262
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:19.399
<v Speaker 2>states that are overwhelming the one party states at the

263
00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:24.200
<v Speaker 2>bottom of the listing as well. But you know, I

264
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:26.720
<v Speaker 2>just I'm having a little bit of fun with you here.

265
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:33.759
<v Speaker 2>Uh but I love you know. I loved reading US

266
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:36.200
<v Speaker 2>News and World Report when it was a magazine, and

267
00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:38.919
<v Speaker 2>I love what you guys are doing digitally now as well.

268
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:40.759
<v Speaker 2>Do you want to run down the top states? So

269
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:43.440
<v Speaker 2>we we're heard in the eastern half of the United States,

270
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:45.519
<v Speaker 2>let's we should we should be able to give you

271
00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:48.960
<v Speaker 2>a drum roll here, but let's let's run down the

272
00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:53.000
<v Speaker 2>states so that everybody knows if they know your your

273
00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:55.840
<v Speaker 2>website's not letting me in here. So you must have

274
00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:59.440
<v Speaker 2>the ten give us one one through ten.

275
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:03.440
<v Speaker 5>All right. So in first place we have Utah. In

276
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:06.360
<v Speaker 5>second place, we have your favorite state, New Hampshire, which

277
00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:10.240
<v Speaker 5>you'll find it interesting to know, did far outrank Massachusetts

278
00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:12.759
<v Speaker 5>on our infrastructure rating, which does include roads.

279
00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:16.799
<v Speaker 2>So observation the cost, by the way, New Hampshire. That's

280
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:19.919
<v Speaker 2>the truth, by the way, on a perfile basis, Yeah,

281
00:16:20.200 --> 00:16:20.559
<v Speaker 2>go ahead.

282
00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:25.879
<v Speaker 5>Number three a bit of a dark horse, Idaho, number four, Minnesota,

283
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:29.600
<v Speaker 5>number five, Nebraska, number six. The only southern state to

284
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:33.240
<v Speaker 5>make it into the top ten Florida. And then we're

285
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:36.759
<v Speaker 5>back to the northeast with number seven for Vermont, rounding

286
00:16:36.799 --> 00:16:40.440
<v Speaker 5>out with an interesting combination number eight South Dakota, number

287
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:44.360
<v Speaker 5>nine Massachusetts, and number ten in the Pacific Northwest Washington.

288
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:47.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Those are really nice states, clean states. You have

289
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:51.159
<v Speaker 2>Republican states Idaho in there in South Dakota, and you

290
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:54.519
<v Speaker 2>have democratic states like Massachusetts. I think it's a pretty

291
00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:57.000
<v Speaker 2>good ranking, to be honest with you. And I don't

292
00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:00.240
<v Speaker 2>know why World US News and were we pulled it

293
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:01.799
<v Speaker 2>has now walked me out.

294
00:17:01.559 --> 00:17:08.799
<v Speaker 6>Here, which is frustrating. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's kind of

295
00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:11.880
<v Speaker 6>a nasty trick. Someone must be someone from Massachusetts who

296
00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:13.880
<v Speaker 6>works at US World Report.

297
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:17.839
<v Speaker 2>Hey, Jess, I love these sorts of interviews, and uh,

298
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:21.519
<v Speaker 2>we will leave the ten lower states and and hopefully

299
00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:23.559
<v Speaker 2>they'll all do better next year and we'll look forward

300
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:27.839
<v Speaker 2>to talking to you next year or anything in between

301
00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:31.960
<v Speaker 2>that you have that's interesting. I love US News and

302
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:34.160
<v Speaker 2>World Report. I loved it as a magazine and I

303
00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:37.519
<v Speaker 2>loved it as a digital website, and it's it's fabulous information.

304
00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:40.799
<v Speaker 2>You guys do great work. Thanks so much. Appreciated US

305
00:17:40.799 --> 00:17:43.720
<v Speaker 2>News Senior Data editor. Thank you much. We'll talk again.

306
00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:44.960
<v Speaker 2>I hope we'll talk often. Thanks.

307
00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:47.559
<v Speaker 5>Thanks, Jocelyn, definitely thanks.

308
00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:50.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, bye bye. Here comes the news at the bottom

309
00:17:50.079 --> 00:17:52.000
<v Speaker 2>of the hour, a minute or so late. We're going

310
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:55.319
<v Speaker 2>to talk to a defense attorney about the Shawan Diddy

311
00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:58.240
<v Speaker 2>Combs federal trial. I had no idea who Sean Diddy

312
00:17:58.279 --> 00:18:01.319
<v Speaker 2>Combs is except he's a heap of trouble and I

313
00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:04.400
<v Speaker 2>guess he's a singer or an actor or something like that.

314
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:06.839
<v Speaker 2>But we're going to get all the lowdown on Sean

315
00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:09.720
<v Speaker 2>Ditty Combs. I do know that he never got bail,

316
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:12.599
<v Speaker 2>which in a federal court, if you don't get bailed,

317
00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:15.039
<v Speaker 2>that's not a good sign. I can tell you that

318
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:16.839
<v Speaker 2>as a member of the bar. We'll be back on

319
00:18:16.960 --> 00:18:18.240
<v Speaker 2>night Side right after this.

320
00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:25.279
<v Speaker 1>Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's news radio.

321
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'm sure most of you have heard of Sean

322
00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:34.160
<v Speaker 2>Diddy Comb's big rapper in the ninety eighties, nineties, two thousands,

323
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:40.119
<v Speaker 2>and currently under federal indictment. He is facing a whole

324
00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:45.039
<v Speaker 2>bunch of big problems. One count of rico racketeering conspiracy,

325
00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:49.720
<v Speaker 2>two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion

326
00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:53.960
<v Speaker 2>that carries a maximum of life in prison, mandatory sentence

327
00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:59.039
<v Speaker 2>fifteen years in prison. Two council transport transportation to engage

328
00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:02.880
<v Speaker 2>in prostitution, which carries this dude's He's dealing with a

329
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:06.680
<v Speaker 2>lot of issues here, that is for sure, and he's

330
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:09.599
<v Speaker 2>gonna his trial is supposed to start this month. Hip

331
00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:15.079
<v Speaker 2>hop mogul Sean Diddy combs with us as attorney Jeremy Rosenthal.

332
00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Jeremy as a lawyer, I understand what the batting average

333
00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:25.880
<v Speaker 2>is for federal prosecutors. It's about ninety at least up

334
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:32.079
<v Speaker 2>up in this district. It seems to me that in

335
00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:36.440
<v Speaker 2>a case like this that that poor Seawan Diddy, he's

336
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:39.039
<v Speaker 2>he's got two chances slimming none and I think none

337
00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:40.839
<v Speaker 2>might be leaving a courtroom. What do you think?

338
00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:45.160
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I think that's the legal analysis. I mean, sometimes.

339
00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Actually slim leave in the courtroom by mistaken it's slim.

340
00:19:47.920 --> 00:19:51.880
<v Speaker 8>Walking up Yeah, no, you nailed it. I mean, look,

341
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:57.759
<v Speaker 8>there's the FEDS. They they play hardball. And what we

342
00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:00.519
<v Speaker 8>tell our clients is, if they have an FB agent

343
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:03.200
<v Speaker 8>who's questioning him, you know what, they already know.

344
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:04.720
<v Speaker 7>They already know the answer, so you.

345
00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:07.599
<v Speaker 8>Need to be honest with them. They they wire these

346
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:13.240
<v Speaker 8>things ten ways till Sunday, and they don't indict cases.

347
00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:14.480
<v Speaker 7>Unless they think they're going to win them.

348
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:19.599
<v Speaker 8>More often than not, especially the high profile stuff they've got,

349
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:21.839
<v Speaker 8>you would think an army of witnesses that are going

350
00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:24.920
<v Speaker 8>to come and testify, some of whom probably have their

351
00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:28.079
<v Speaker 8>fingers bent back a little bit, some of whom are

352
00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:32.519
<v Speaker 8>probably legitimately victims here. Yeah, no, he's up against it.

353
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:35.160
<v Speaker 8>He turned out a plea deal last week. We don't

354
00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:37.960
<v Speaker 8>know what that was. We don't know what the offer was,

355
00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:41.440
<v Speaker 8>what concessions the government was going to make, and did

356
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:43.759
<v Speaker 8>he wants to you know, he's going to roll the

357
00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:44.279
<v Speaker 8>dice y.

358
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:46.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm surprised that the Feds would even offer a plea

359
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:50.079
<v Speaker 2>deal in a case like this. Maybe it wasn't a

360
00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:53.559
<v Speaker 2>particularly sweet plea deal deal. How old is this guy,

361
00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:56.039
<v Speaker 2>He's like got to be pretty close to sixty. I'm

362
00:20:56.079 --> 00:20:58.839
<v Speaker 2>assuming at this point or maybe just a little less.

363
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:03.160
<v Speaker 8>I think that's right. He's in his fifties, is my understanding.

364
00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:06.680
<v Speaker 8>And yeah, I mean sometimes when you're that that's one

365
00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:12.279
<v Speaker 8>I guess downside, if you will to such heavy handed punishment,

366
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:14.680
<v Speaker 8>is you really put the defendant in a in a

367
00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:17.920
<v Speaker 8>no lose situation or a no win situation, and in

368
00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:19.680
<v Speaker 8>which case it's like, well we may as well go

369
00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:20.359
<v Speaker 8>out fighting.

370
00:21:21.519 --> 00:21:21.759
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

371
00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:26.440
<v Speaker 8>I practice in Texas, and no politician in Texas gets elected.

372
00:21:26.119 --> 00:21:28.279
<v Speaker 7>On the platform up, I'm going to be easy on crime.

373
00:21:28.400 --> 00:21:33.359
<v Speaker 8>Right, So so when when the prosecutor comes out and says, well,

374
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:35.359
<v Speaker 8>I'm going to put you in prison for fifty years

375
00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:39.240
<v Speaker 8>and my clients forty eight years old, you feel like,

376
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:42.640
<v Speaker 8>you know, dying in prison at the age of ninety seven.

377
00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:45.119
<v Speaker 7>No, let's you know, shoot les, let's go, let's take

378
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:48.240
<v Speaker 7>this first spin. So sometimes that's that is what you get.

379
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:52.000
<v Speaker 2>How did how did this case get Manhattan jurisdiction? And

380
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:54.920
<v Speaker 2>that I believe that a lot of the partying supposedly

381
00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:57.240
<v Speaker 2>went on he at homes in California and Florida. I'm

382
00:21:57.279 --> 00:21:59.839
<v Speaker 2>just curious from a jurisdictional point of view, how it

383
00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:01.640
<v Speaker 2>ended up in New York City.

384
00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:05.759
<v Speaker 8>I mean, when you have so many tentacles they don't have,

385
00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:08.480
<v Speaker 8>it doesn't have to be much to get you to

386
00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:11.799
<v Speaker 8>be within the federal jurisdiction. They just literally have to

387
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:15.240
<v Speaker 8>have one one thing that happened of all those things,

388
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:17.880
<v Speaker 8>and it could even be a money thing that happened there,

389
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:20.160
<v Speaker 8>and that's that's where they wanted to do it. So

390
00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:23.000
<v Speaker 8>that's where they indicted. You see that a lot in

391
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:29.000
<v Speaker 8>with the federal government. I mean they will, they'll meet you,

392
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:32.279
<v Speaker 8>you know, in a big multi party drug conspiracy that

393
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:34.400
<v Speaker 8>involves people in other countries.

394
00:22:35.279 --> 00:22:37.400
<v Speaker 7>You know, they're like, why am I in Missouri? Why

395
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:38.400
<v Speaker 7>are they trying this here?

396
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:40.519
<v Speaker 8>You know, well, you know, we're going to make you

397
00:22:40.559 --> 00:22:42.640
<v Speaker 8>come to the quick trip just on the other side

398
00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:46.839
<v Speaker 8>of you know, I forty and and okay, yeah, so

399
00:22:46.880 --> 00:22:50.480
<v Speaker 8>they get you kind of where they want. But when

400
00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:53.920
<v Speaker 8>when there's so many issues in moving parts to a

401
00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:56.960
<v Speaker 8>case in a case like this that they don't need

402
00:22:57.079 --> 00:22:59.319
<v Speaker 8>much to get you where they want, and that that's

403
00:22:59.319 --> 00:23:00.200
<v Speaker 8>why they are there.

404
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Does see you have high profile defense attorneys, anyone that

405
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:08.240
<v Speaker 2>the public would know, or just the best defense attorneys

406
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:10.319
<v Speaker 2>he could find. I'm sure, I'm sure he's got the

407
00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:13.319
<v Speaker 2>finances to hire a good company counsel.

408
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:15.119
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

409
00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:19.440
<v Speaker 8>One of his lawyers is named Mark Agnifilo, who I

410
00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:23.720
<v Speaker 8>don't know if he's related to uh the I don't

411
00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:28.160
<v Speaker 8>know if he's related to Luigi Manngioni's attorney. Maybe there

412
00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:31.200
<v Speaker 8>maybe their brother's sister, maybe their spouse. Maybe it's just

413
00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:35.640
<v Speaker 8>two random Agnifilos, Yeah, last name.

414
00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:36.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Ok.

415
00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:38.599
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, not not a lot of those guys running around.

416
00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:40.799
<v Speaker 2>Not quite as common as Smith, that's for sure.

417
00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:45.440
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, yeah, yeah, not not not so much. But then uh,

418
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:49.279
<v Speaker 8>another one is I believe Mark Gerago's son is also.

419
00:23:49.640 --> 00:23:52.920
<v Speaker 2>One of his Las Vegas well, well know big.

420
00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:56.480
<v Speaker 7>And the lawyer. Uh. And I was going to say

421
00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:57.559
<v Speaker 7>here one of.

422
00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:00.400
<v Speaker 2>The questions, one of the questions, you know, some people say, well,

423
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:04.119
<v Speaker 2>here's this trial coming up in May of twenty twenty five.

424
00:24:04.440 --> 00:24:07.359
<v Speaker 2>He became down last September. So it was the Biden

425
00:24:07.960 --> 00:24:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Justice Department that brought the case. This is not a

426
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:17.960
<v Speaker 2>case that was brought by the newly installed administration. And

427
00:24:18.039 --> 00:24:21.440
<v Speaker 2>I think that's that needs to be pointed out because

428
00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:24.839
<v Speaker 2>obviously there it was investigated and the that was brought

429
00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:27.200
<v Speaker 2>by the Biden Justice Department.

430
00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:31.519
<v Speaker 7>You're absolutely right, And I think that's what.

431
00:24:31.359 --> 00:24:34.240
<v Speaker 8>A lot of folks sort of loose track of is

432
00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:39.920
<v Speaker 8>that our attention naturally goes to a lot of a

433
00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:43.079
<v Speaker 8>big sexier pardon upon right, a lot of the big

434
00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:46.039
<v Speaker 8>sexier you know, things that have to do with immigration

435
00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:51.920
<v Speaker 8>and Abrego Garcia and you know, all the litigation over

436
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:55.720
<v Speaker 8>El Salvador and all of these things, and we tend

437
00:24:55.720 --> 00:24:58.759
<v Speaker 8>to view these things with the political lens. The reality

438
00:24:58.880 --> 00:25:00.839
<v Speaker 8>is it is ninety eight per cent of the Justice

439
00:25:00.880 --> 00:25:04.880
<v Speaker 8>Department is doing really really meat and potatoes work. They're

440
00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:09.559
<v Speaker 8>investing Medicare, They're investigating medicare and medicaid fraud, PPP loans

441
00:25:09.759 --> 00:25:14.200
<v Speaker 8>that are fraud, H one B visas, and other types

442
00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:18.319
<v Speaker 8>of immigration fraud. Those are things that were investigated very

443
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:22.440
<v Speaker 8>thoroughly by the Biden administration. And maybe there's an uptick

444
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:25.119
<v Speaker 8>with Trump, but you don't see a lot of changes

445
00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:29.079
<v Speaker 8>in those things. They go after human trafficking, they go

446
00:25:29.200 --> 00:25:33.279
<v Speaker 8>after drug rings, fentanyl, oxycon, they go after all of

447
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:38.039
<v Speaker 8>these things. So ninety five percent what they do just

448
00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:41.559
<v Speaker 8>really hasn't changed. And I think that that's a good

449
00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:43.960
<v Speaker 8>This is a good example of that. And one thing

450
00:25:43.960 --> 00:25:46.000
<v Speaker 8>I was going to point out too kind of talking

451
00:25:46.000 --> 00:25:49.599
<v Speaker 8>about the lawyers. James Comey, the former director of the FBI.

452
00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:52.559
<v Speaker 8>His daughter is one of the federal prosecutors on the case.

453
00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:56.359
<v Speaker 8>So the prosecution has kind of their star team at

454
00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:57.039
<v Speaker 8>this as well.

455
00:25:57.839 --> 00:25:58.000
<v Speaker 4>Well.

456
00:25:58.039 --> 00:26:00.759
<v Speaker 2>It'd be interesting to see how it works out. Have

457
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:04.039
<v Speaker 2>they anyone recommend to us suggested, as this is got

458
00:26:04.119 --> 00:26:05.759
<v Speaker 2>to be probably a two or three month trial, I'm

459
00:26:05.759 --> 00:26:07.400
<v Speaker 2>assuming if this is not a quick.

460
00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:10.640
<v Speaker 7>One and done can't be Yeah.

461
00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:12.680
<v Speaker 8>There they are only two thirds of the way through

462
00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:16.480
<v Speaker 8>jury selection right now, and and I think opening statements

463
00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:20.720
<v Speaker 8>are our scheduled for the twelfth. This thing, I want

464
00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:24.079
<v Speaker 8>to say, six weeks is about right and uh and

465
00:26:24.079 --> 00:26:26.480
<v Speaker 8>and in federal cases can go that long. I mean,

466
00:26:28.279 --> 00:26:30.880
<v Speaker 8>you know it's hard because you want people to show

467
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:33.440
<v Speaker 8>up for jury duty. But then when when you know

468
00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:35.640
<v Speaker 8>folks are listening to this and they say, what, I

469
00:26:35.680 --> 00:26:40.200
<v Speaker 8>can go and be on the jury for six weeks? It, Yeah,

470
00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:42.720
<v Speaker 8>it can be a pretty intensive thing when you when

471
00:26:42.759 --> 00:26:46.200
<v Speaker 8>you have all of these when you have all of

472
00:26:46.240 --> 00:26:48.920
<v Speaker 8>these charges, all of these witnesses, all of this evidence.

473
00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:51.279
<v Speaker 8>I mean, can you imagine all the data that they

474
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:54.039
<v Speaker 8>must have here, all the cell phone data, computer data.

475
00:26:54.680 --> 00:26:58.240
<v Speaker 8>It's quite an undertaking, and probably.

476
00:26:57.920 --> 00:27:00.079
<v Speaker 2>If you're going to put those forensics in, obviously you

477
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:02.880
<v Speaker 2>got to have foundational witnesses to make sure that the

478
00:27:03.039 --> 00:27:08.039
<v Speaker 2>jerry understands that these forensics are legitimate. And you know,

479
00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:11.119
<v Speaker 2>you got to qualify the witnesses. You got to qualify

480
00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:14.119
<v Speaker 2>their testimony. It's not just putting a guy or a

481
00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:16.839
<v Speaker 2>woman up on the stand and say, FBI agent did this,

482
00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:19.559
<v Speaker 2>you would look at this, I mean they do with

483
00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:21.440
<v Speaker 2>It has to be done thoroughly.

484
00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:24.680
<v Speaker 7>It has to be exactly exactly right.

485
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:29.279
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, and and you know, just to to your point

486
00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:31.759
<v Speaker 8>there too, that if if there was going to be

487
00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:35.160
<v Speaker 8>a plea deal, that would be why right would be

488
00:27:35.799 --> 00:27:38.799
<v Speaker 8>you know, if you spare us five weeks, if you

489
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:41.200
<v Speaker 8>give us five weeks or six weeks of our life back,

490
00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:44.480
<v Speaker 8>you know, p Diddy, if you'll do that, then then

491
00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:46.960
<v Speaker 8>then we'll give you ten years of your life back

492
00:27:47.079 --> 00:27:49.680
<v Speaker 8>right on the plea deal. So if you were going

493
00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:51.680
<v Speaker 8>to see plea deal, that would probably be why.

494
00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:55.759
<v Speaker 2>Well, we will see Jeremy as always appreciate your time

495
00:27:55.839 --> 00:28:00.759
<v Speaker 2>and your expertise, and uh, it's it's amazing. We have

496
00:28:00.880 --> 00:28:02.960
<v Speaker 2>the Karen read trial going on up here, which is

497
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:05.039
<v Speaker 2>not a federal trial. He since state trial, but has

498
00:28:05.240 --> 00:28:10.200
<v Speaker 2>generated a lot of national and international publicity for someone

499
00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:13.839
<v Speaker 2>who before this was not known, not nearly as well

500
00:28:13.880 --> 00:28:17.640
<v Speaker 2>known as a superstar rapper. So I can just imagine

501
00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:22.400
<v Speaker 2>when this case really gets going and it's where everybody's

502
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:24.480
<v Speaker 2>going to understand it before it's over, that's for sure.

503
00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:27.319
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate your time, counselor thank you so much.

504
00:28:27.759 --> 00:28:29.119
<v Speaker 7>I have a great night you too.

505
00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:31.480
<v Speaker 2>When we get back, we're going to finish up with

506
00:28:31.920 --> 00:28:34.920
<v Speaker 2>five foods that could damage your brain. Doctor Patrick Porter's

507
00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:37.000
<v Speaker 2>been a guest before. He'll join us right after this

508
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:39.720
<v Speaker 2>break on Nightside. My name is Dan Ray. This is Nightside.

509
00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:44.920
<v Speaker 1>You're on night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's

510
00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:45.599
<v Speaker 1>news radio.

511
00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:49.960
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to dtor Patrick Porter. He's an expert in

512
00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:52.960
<v Speaker 2>brain health and founder of brain Tap. We all could

513
00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:55.599
<v Speaker 2>use a little brain tap, Doctor Porter, how are you tonight.

514
00:28:56.519 --> 00:28:57.799
<v Speaker 4>I'm doing well. Thanks for having me.

515
00:28:58.000 --> 00:29:00.799
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back to Nightside. We're going to talk about five

516
00:29:00.880 --> 00:29:04.480
<v Speaker 2>foods that damage your brain and increase your dementia risk.

517
00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:09.240
<v Speaker 2>Every one of the times I read these articles, I

518
00:29:09.279 --> 00:29:15.759
<v Speaker 2>get really depressed. It's like I think the only thing

519
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:18.200
<v Speaker 2>that's safe to eat now is tofu. What's going on.

520
00:29:19.960 --> 00:29:22.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think we're finding that the onset of all

521
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:25.839
<v Speaker 4>these people experiencing dementia, even as young as you know,

522
00:29:26.000 --> 00:29:28.119
<v Speaker 4>they've had people as young as twenty seven years old

523
00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:30.680
<v Speaker 4>and forty year old, is not an exception to the rule.

524
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:32.440
<v Speaker 4>And I think it is a lifestyle problem. I mean,

525
00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:35.599
<v Speaker 4>the ultra processed foods there is probably the number one,

526
00:29:35.599 --> 00:29:37.759
<v Speaker 4>because people eat things out of canbottles and wrappers all

527
00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:38.200
<v Speaker 4>the time.

528
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I guess we're talking ultra prep ultra processed foods,

529
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:48.559
<v Speaker 2>high levels of sugar, salt added as preservatives, artificial ingredients,

530
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.400
<v Speaker 2>unhealthy fats, and it just goes on and on and on.

531
00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:57.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm assuming that that look many years ago. Let's go

532
00:29:57.640 --> 00:30:00.839
<v Speaker 2>back to like the nineteen sixties and seven these fifty

533
00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:03.799
<v Speaker 2>years ago. Everybody who's eating fast food, they were going

534
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:07.359
<v Speaker 2>to McDonald's and Burger King. That stuff wasn't good for

535
00:30:07.400 --> 00:30:08.400
<v Speaker 2>you back then, was it?

536
00:30:09.440 --> 00:30:12.880
<v Speaker 4>Well? Back then, actually used to be. McDonald's only had

537
00:30:12.880 --> 00:30:16.480
<v Speaker 4>three ingredients in their in their fries. Now they have

538
00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:21.200
<v Speaker 4>over seventeen, so they've they've added things in. There's actually

539
00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:24.039
<v Speaker 4>something called excitotoxins, and they've added them into the foods

540
00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:28.000
<v Speaker 4>to get you to basically reset your appetite so you

541
00:30:28.039 --> 00:30:28.680
<v Speaker 4>have to eat more.

542
00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:32.480
<v Speaker 2>So is it you said they excito toxins? Is that

543
00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:33.039
<v Speaker 2>what the.

544
00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:37.000
<v Speaker 4>Words you used? Yeah, well, even salt and sugar is cytotoxin.

545
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:39.920
<v Speaker 4>But now they're chemically manual. They're mostly natural foods, but

546
00:30:39.960 --> 00:30:42.960
<v Speaker 4>when they combine them with the food, you basically want

547
00:30:42.960 --> 00:30:45.680
<v Speaker 4>to eat more. Well, I remember when quarter pounders. You

548
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:47.960
<v Speaker 4>remember when quarter pounders came out, people thought that was crazy.

549
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:49.960
<v Speaker 4>Who's gonna eat a quarter pound of beef? Now you

550
00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:51.799
<v Speaker 4>can get a double quarter pounders, you know?

551
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:56.240
<v Speaker 2>So what about what you would think anything that is

552
00:30:56.319 --> 00:31:00.880
<v Speaker 2>said something toxin that the food and drugmen and administration

553
00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:03.480
<v Speaker 2>might say, not sure about that toxin?

554
00:31:03.559 --> 00:31:03.680
<v Speaker 4>Thin?

555
00:31:03.759 --> 00:31:06.039
<v Speaker 2>Can you explain that to us a little bit more?

556
00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:08.839
<v Speaker 2>Wherever the regulators seriously?

557
00:31:09.000 --> 00:31:12.079
<v Speaker 4>Wells, most food is not regulated like that. I mean,

558
00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:14.359
<v Speaker 4>it's not going to kill you today, so it's okay,

559
00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:17.440
<v Speaker 4>it's going to kill you over time. And what happens

560
00:31:17.480 --> 00:31:20.039
<v Speaker 4>is the body creates an accumulation of these toxins, and

561
00:31:20.039 --> 00:31:24.599
<v Speaker 4>that's what's causing the problem. These foods caused this. Basically,

562
00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:26.920
<v Speaker 4>plaquing in the brain is what we're talking about, because

563
00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:29.079
<v Speaker 4>it doesn't know what to do with these substances in

564
00:31:29.119 --> 00:31:29.519
<v Speaker 4>the body.

565
00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so let's assume that tonight someone is listening and

566
00:31:34.240 --> 00:31:37.119
<v Speaker 2>whatever age they are, or that they're twenty seven, forty

567
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:41.920
<v Speaker 2>sixty or eighty, and they say, what can I do?

568
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:44.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, however old you are, all this stuff that

569
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:48.119
<v Speaker 2>you've ingested over the years, is there some sort of

570
00:31:48.319 --> 00:31:52.039
<v Speaker 2>an antidote that is out there that can eliminate this

571
00:31:52.119 --> 00:31:56.240
<v Speaker 2>stuff or diminish it? Or is it really you are

572
00:31:56.279 --> 00:31:58.799
<v Speaker 2>what you eat and it's however old you are, whatever

573
00:31:58.839 --> 00:32:01.480
<v Speaker 2>you've eaten during life. Good luck.

574
00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:05.119
<v Speaker 4>Oh no, you can clear it out. I mean the

575
00:32:05.160 --> 00:32:07.640
<v Speaker 4>bodies that everybody's listening with right now, You and I,

576
00:32:08.039 --> 00:32:10.079
<v Speaker 4>our bodies, the cells that make up our body are

577
00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:13.000
<v Speaker 4>no more than two years old. Okay, it's matter of what.

578
00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:15.839
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, so we're we can clear those out. The

579
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:18.720
<v Speaker 4>number one thing they need to do is substitute all

580
00:32:18.759 --> 00:32:22.359
<v Speaker 4>their soda pops and other things that have carbonation and

581
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:24.440
<v Speaker 4>start drinking water, because that's going to be the one

582
00:32:24.440 --> 00:32:27.519
<v Speaker 4>thing your body needs. Your brain is mostly fat in water.

583
00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:31.200
<v Speaker 4>So most of the fats we eat, these trans fats

584
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:35.480
<v Speaker 4>and things like that, and especially fried foods. That's the problem. Really,

585
00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:38.160
<v Speaker 4>so they need to start eating more is omega threes

586
00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:40.640
<v Speaker 4>in omega six is like I think we've talked before

587
00:32:40.680 --> 00:32:43.400
<v Speaker 4>about doing olive oil. But there's if you look at

588
00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:47.240
<v Speaker 4>like eating more of avocados natural fats, because if we

589
00:32:47.319 --> 00:32:48.880
<v Speaker 4>if we were to take all the water out of

590
00:32:48.880 --> 00:32:51.519
<v Speaker 4>the brain, sixty percent of that brain would be fat.

591
00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:55.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So here's here's my question. Here's my question. Okay,

592
00:32:55.319 --> 00:32:58.920
<v Speaker 2>and this is the truth. Okay. And ten years ago,

593
00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:05.000
<v Speaker 2>years ago, I changed my lifestyle a little bit. The

594
00:33:05.079 --> 00:33:08.319
<v Speaker 2>biggest thing I did was I lost thirty five pounds

595
00:33:08.759 --> 00:33:11.720
<v Speaker 2>through a program that I support called Awaken One to

596
00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:14.359
<v Speaker 2>E And I've been able to keep that weight off.

597
00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:17.039
<v Speaker 2>And one of the ways that I figured out I

598
00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:20.160
<v Speaker 2>could lose the weight easily. And this was just me.

599
00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:22.519
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't talking to you at the time. I wish

600
00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:25.759
<v Speaker 2>I had, but all of a sudden it was brought

601
00:33:25.799 --> 00:33:28.400
<v Speaker 2>to my attention. I was a big pepsi guy. If

602
00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:30.039
<v Speaker 2>you and I went out to lunch, I would have

603
00:33:30.079 --> 00:33:35.519
<v Speaker 2>eaten a burger, fries and two pepsis, forty one carbs

604
00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:41.000
<v Speaker 2>in every pepsi. Now I don't drink colas anymore except

605
00:33:41.000 --> 00:33:44.279
<v Speaker 2>an occasional rum coke, and I really do a lot

606
00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:47.000
<v Speaker 2>of water by doing this show. I have to drink

607
00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:51.240
<v Speaker 2>water at night just to stay you know, lubricated, and

608
00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:55.480
<v Speaker 2>I drink water with meals. I got to feel it.

609
00:33:55.559 --> 00:33:58.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm hoping you're going to tell me that even though

610
00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:01.279
<v Speaker 2>I didn't do it for the intention that we're talking about,

611
00:34:01.559 --> 00:34:03.160
<v Speaker 2>that inadvertently that helped me.

612
00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:06.759
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, I mean those two sodas you were talking about,

613
00:34:07.160 --> 00:34:10.320
<v Speaker 4>that's every five grams of sugar. I mean every five

614
00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:13.960
<v Speaker 4>calories is a gram of is a gram of sugar,

615
00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:16.639
<v Speaker 4>So I mean tablespoons of sugar. So think about that

616
00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:20.639
<v Speaker 4>coke was you know, like eight tablespoons of sugar. That's

617
00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:23.519
<v Speaker 4>the biggest cytotoxin. And the other thing that people don't

618
00:34:23.559 --> 00:34:26.920
<v Speaker 4>realize about, even diet soda, is that when you drink

619
00:34:26.960 --> 00:34:29.920
<v Speaker 4>one twelve ounce can you need three. You need thirty

620
00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:33.079
<v Speaker 4>six ounces of water to flush it out of your system.

621
00:34:33.320 --> 00:34:37.280
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, I know, I am so happy to hear this.

622
00:34:38.159 --> 00:34:41.000
<v Speaker 2>And for example, I was surprised. One of the things

623
00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:45.199
<v Speaker 2>you're talking about high mercury fish and it looks like swordfish. Yes,

624
00:34:45.519 --> 00:34:50.639
<v Speaker 2>so you're saying don't eat sword fish, but other fish

625
00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:53.320
<v Speaker 2>are Okay, I'm just trying to make sure that we

626
00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:57.320
<v Speaker 2>can dispense your information here as cleanly and as clearly

627
00:34:57.400 --> 00:34:57.960
<v Speaker 2>as we can.

628
00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:01.800
<v Speaker 4>Right, you want to eat fish have a short life,

629
00:35:01.840 --> 00:35:05.880
<v Speaker 4>like salmon and sardines and trout and hearing these are

630
00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:07.800
<v Speaker 4>rich in omega threes when I was talking about that,

631
00:35:07.880 --> 00:35:10.880
<v Speaker 4>So when you think about these foods, the longer the

632
00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:13.559
<v Speaker 4>fish lives because all the toxins that are in the

633
00:35:13.599 --> 00:35:16.599
<v Speaker 4>water and all the mercury they eat other fish and

634
00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:19.039
<v Speaker 4>it stores in their systems. So then we're eating these

635
00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:20.880
<v Speaker 4>toxic fish, so okay, So what about we.

636
00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:23.760
<v Speaker 2>Eat a lot of cod off the coast of New England.

637
00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Is cod a long living fish or a short living fish?

638
00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:32.760
<v Speaker 4>You know, I don't know about cod. I think it's healthy.

639
00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:35.079
<v Speaker 4>I think it's healthy because a white fish, you can

640
00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:38.119
<v Speaker 4>tell where the toxins are because the usually ob silver

641
00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:42.199
<v Speaker 4>or dark color. Sometimes the dark on the belly is fat, okay,

642
00:35:42.239 --> 00:35:44.199
<v Speaker 4>and that's where the toxins are going to be stored.

643
00:35:44.360 --> 00:35:47.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay. And then what about Obviously alcohol is a problem.

644
00:35:47.800 --> 00:35:51.800
<v Speaker 2>We've already everybody said you you drink a lot of alcohol,

645
00:35:53.280 --> 00:35:55.199
<v Speaker 2>and I think you've told me before that beer and

646
00:35:55.239 --> 00:35:58.719
<v Speaker 2>wine is just as bad as hard liquor correct.

647
00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:01.559
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, I mean, if they've done studies for you,

648
00:36:01.599 --> 00:36:04.599
<v Speaker 4>if you just drink one drink a night you're going

649
00:36:04.639 --> 00:36:06.679
<v Speaker 4>to have you're gonna shrink your brain about three quarters

650
00:36:06.679 --> 00:36:09.559
<v Speaker 4>of an inch. But the biggest problem is that they've

651
00:36:09.559 --> 00:36:12.440
<v Speaker 4>actually found out that taking like fasting days, don't drink

652
00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:15.199
<v Speaker 4>every day. You know, if you're gonna drink, also make

653
00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:17.199
<v Speaker 4>sure you have fat, fiber, and protein with your meal.

654
00:36:17.239 --> 00:36:19.719
<v Speaker 4>That's why when you usually go to a wine tasting

655
00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:21.880
<v Speaker 4>or something, they have cheese there. Yeah, because they found

656
00:36:21.880 --> 00:36:24.400
<v Speaker 4>out people were getting drunk too fast because it's just

657
00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:26.159
<v Speaker 4>sugar's going right to your brain. So you want to

658
00:36:26.159 --> 00:36:29.440
<v Speaker 4>slow down that sugar. So only you should only drink

659
00:36:29.440 --> 00:36:32.000
<v Speaker 4>when you're eating, if possible, you know, I know sometimes

660
00:36:32.000 --> 00:36:34.960
<v Speaker 4>it's not possible, but the thing is that you want

661
00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:37.199
<v Speaker 4>to slow that down so it doesn't just go directly

662
00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:37.719
<v Speaker 4>to your brain.

663
00:36:37.800 --> 00:36:40.960
<v Speaker 2>All right. And then the other one here, And I

664
00:36:41.320 --> 00:36:43.400
<v Speaker 2>know I'm pushing you tonight, but I really Aprea, because

665
00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:46.920
<v Speaker 2>you're a great guest of artificial sweetness. I'm a coffee

666
00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:51.000
<v Speaker 2>guy and I'll have splendor in my coffee. But after

667
00:36:51.039 --> 00:36:53.920
<v Speaker 2>having read what you just said about artificial sweet sweetness.

668
00:36:54.159 --> 00:36:57.280
<v Speaker 4>I got to get rid of that, right, Yeah you wanna,

669
00:36:57.519 --> 00:37:00.119
<v Speaker 4>you want to? You could? What's even better if you

670
00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:03.559
<v Speaker 4>you know, cane sugar is actually a fruit. Okay, so

671
00:37:03.880 --> 00:37:06.239
<v Speaker 4>real cane sugar, A little bit of that would go

672
00:37:06.280 --> 00:37:09.239
<v Speaker 4>a long way. And the artificial sweeteners even though they

673
00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:12.119
<v Speaker 4>don't they don't have sweeteners, but your body doesn't know

674
00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:14.079
<v Speaker 4>the difference. Your body treats them like you're eating two

675
00:37:14.119 --> 00:37:16.599
<v Speaker 4>hundred times the sugar. Look you're reading, so.

676
00:37:16.599 --> 00:37:18.199
<v Speaker 2>Where do you get Where do you get cane sugar?

677
00:37:18.199 --> 00:37:19.840
<v Speaker 2>Does that sold the supermarkets?

678
00:37:20.119 --> 00:37:20.239
<v Speaker 7>Oh?

679
00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:22.039
<v Speaker 4>Yeah you can. You can just make sure you get

680
00:37:22.079 --> 00:37:25.639
<v Speaker 4>cane sugar. That's raw cane sugar. Okay. They have a

681
00:37:25.639 --> 00:37:26.920
<v Speaker 4>brand called Sugar and the Raw.

682
00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:31.159
<v Speaker 2>Okay, you know, doctor Porter, I love this these interviews.

683

688
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:48.880
<v Speaker 2>to anything that would be helpful for them this you

689
00:37:48.960 --> 00:37:49.880
<v Speaker 2>might have written.

690
00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:53.880
<v Speaker 4>Well, that book, I'm ready my book that's coming out.
