My name's Dan Ray. 10 00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:32.880 I'm the host of Nightside. Have been here now? This 11 00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:35.719 is year eighteen for Nightside. Rob Brooks has been with me. 12 00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:38.000 By the way, I should have mentioned Rob has been 13 00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:42.920 with us probably I'm guessing Rob fifteen of those years anyway, 14 00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:46.799 So would you agree with me, Rob? Yeah, yeah, about 15 00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:47.520 fifteen years. 16 00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:47.840 Rob. 17 00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:50.560 So he's been in it for the long run, and 18 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:54.240 so haven't many of you listeners out there, and I 19 00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:58.679 do appreciate your loyalty here Tonightside. We're going to talk 20 00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:04.400 later on tonight about an emergency preamble. We'll explain what 21 00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:07.480 that is. An emergency preamble signed by the governor today 22 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:10.959 to put into effect a new gun law that she 23 00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:14.159 could have signed an emergency preamble a couple of months ago. 24 00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:17.879 We'll talk with Massachusetts State Senator Peter Durant about that 25 00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:20.200 and why she decided to sign it. And we're also 26 00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:25.480 going to talk about churches, specifically white churches atoning in 27 00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:30.799 Boston or in the Greater Boston area for their predecessor's 28 00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:35.719 potential either involvement or acquiescence to a slavery. And we'll 29 00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:38.400 be talking with Reverend Kevin Peterson, who's been on this 30 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.239 program before. There was an event on Saturday at the 31 00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.359 Arlington Street Church and we'll. 32 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:45.799 Explain all of that. 33 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:47.599 But first of all, we're going to start off with 34 00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.319 four guests in the first hour, and the first guest 35 00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:55.879 is Gary Summers. He's a Boston based musician who wrote 36 00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:01.000 and produced I guess it's what's called the sci fi 37 00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:04.840 rock opera called titled Beasties. 38 00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:08.039 I've heard of the beastis Beastie. 39 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:09.719 Boys, Gary, But I gotta be honest with you, this 40 00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:12.439 is probably something I don't have a lot of inherent 41 00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:13.319 knowledge about. 42 00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:16.840 You get my drift. This is big by you, good 43 00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:19.199 battles evil, with the fate of the planet at. 44 00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:22.840 Stake, and this is a world premiere at the Regent 45 00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:24.039 theater in Arlington. 46 00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:27.360 It sounds pretty interesting. Tell us about it, my friend. 47 00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:33.400 Well, the beasties in the story is the human emotions. 48 00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:36.560 They're kind of irrational, and there's good beasts and they're 49 00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:41.159 bad beasties. And what causes someone to be good or evil? 50 00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:44.080 It's some sort of an impulse. I mean, you have 51 00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:48.319 a choice. So why would someone be good or why 52 00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:52.960 would someone be evil? Well, I wrote eighteen songs that 53 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:57.360 tell the story of a musician who has a big break, 54 00:02:57.479 --> 00:02:59.719 has a hit record on the charts, and a promoter 55 00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:02.800 offers to let him put on a concert in Central 56 00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:07.680 Park and a quarter million people show up. And the promoter, 57 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:11.680 of course, has sold a sponsorship to an evil corporate 58 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:17.360 politician who is there to try and usurp the audience. Well, 59 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:21.520 universe has decided that that's not going to happen, and 60 00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:27.680 a retired stage manager is working the show and is 61 00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:32.360 inhabited by an alien impulse. And the show begins with 62 00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:35.400 the alien trying to figure out what is a human 63 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.639 and the human trying to figure out what's inside me. 64 00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:46.560 And let's just say chaos and susy always novels. 65 00:03:45.840 --> 00:03:46.400 Always good. 66 00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:49.560 When chaos and sues, Okay, now you talk about an 67 00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:55.159 evil corporate politician. I know that probably evil corporate people, 68 00:03:55.240 --> 00:04:00.000 and they're they're evil corporate, evil politicians. 69 00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:00.479 Of fact. 70 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.919 I'm of the belief that there are some people here 71 00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:08.879 in America and elsewhere around the world who actually are aliens. 72 00:04:09.199 --> 00:04:11.159 Do you buy into that theory at all or no? 73 00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:15.199 I think I can probably believe that. I believe you're right. 74 00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:21.079 I think that there is some form of unique stardust 75 00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:22.839 that has inhabited some people. 76 00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:25.480 Yeah, okay, I'll give you a couple of examples. 77 00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:29.079 Have you ever seen James Carville, the Democratic political strategist. 78 00:04:30.199 --> 00:04:33.319 Oh, yes, he does not look. 79 00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:38.959 He looks a little different, if you get my drift. 80 00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:43.040 Okay, I'm not by looks, but the look in his eye, 81 00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:44.920 Yeah I would. 82 00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:49.040 I'll give you another one who's a very powerful guy, 83 00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:52.040 Vladimir Putin. Have you ever looked at him? 84 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:56.480 He doesn't look quite right, very cartoony. 85 00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:59.279 That's exactly it, which I think is what you're doing 86 00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:02.720 here with b these. And there's a few others along 87 00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:05.639 the way. Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York. 88 00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:09.079 When he was younger, he looked he's been looking a 89 00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:12.240 little weird lately. If you know what I'm saying, I'm. 90 00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:15.959 Just a cartoon. He's absolutely a cartoon of his former. 91 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:18.879 Self subjected judgment here. 92 00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:23.120 But just they always seem to be people who are 93 00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:26.079 in positions of influence. And I haven't even started to 94 00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:29.839 talk about the corporate heads here because most people would 95 00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:32.040 know who we're talking about. But I've seen some weird 96 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.519 looking corporate people too, sore hard something. 97 00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:40.959 The stories about this corporate politician who's running to be 98 00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:45.199 CEO of Earth, which isn't a title and doesn't exist, 99 00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:48.879 but in his mind he thinks he's that guy. 100 00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:53.279 If you could get it, I mean, right, how. 101 00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:54.439 Does it pay? Who pays? 102 00:05:55.160 --> 00:06:00.519 Yeah? Well maybe the second your job. 103 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.040 I didn't get it. I love that that's so factual. 104 00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:08.000 But maybe the Secretary General of the United Nations could 105 00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:10.040 be one of these folks too when you think about it, 106 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:11.839 I mean it's you know, if you were going to 107 00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:14.720 come here from out of space, you obviously are going 108 00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:20.319 to be a higher developed intellect than us because we 109 00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:21.920 can't go to speak of. 110 00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:25.720 So correct if they get here, And the first thing 111 00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:28.959 is is that the alien must understand that we're now 112 00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:32.360 all connected with this internet e thing that makes it 113 00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:37.279 so that these people in an audience can transmit everything 114 00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:44.879 that happens worldwide instantaneously. So an alien affecting two hundred 115 00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.600 and fifty thousand people that are now influencing the whole 116 00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:49.399 world can influence. 117 00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:51.600 The whole world. It's as like the day the. 118 00:06:51.560 --> 00:06:55.240 Earth stood still, and only in Rock and Roll. 119 00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:59.959 Well, when you think about the ability instantaneously, I was 120 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.560 watching yesterday when some of the rockets were being fighted 121 00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:05.680 and in on Israel, and we were watching the rockets 122 00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:08.480 literally coming in and being blown up. 123 00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:10.800 In the air. It was but it was it was 124 00:07:11.040 --> 00:07:11.839 actual time. 125 00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:14.560 And I think about in the old days, not too 126 00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:18.439 long ago, the miracle of the Morse code, you know, 127 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:25.079 and they thought, wow, how cool is that? But we 128 00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:29.920 have advanced so quickly. Tell us how can people get tickets? 129 00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.079 And it is at the Region Theater in Arlington, which 130 00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:36.800 I'm sure is very easy to find. This is Thursday 131 00:07:37.399 --> 00:07:43.800 and Friday of next week, not this week, Yeah, ten 132 00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:48.319 eleven Region Theater. Where did they go for tickets is 133 00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:49.480 a big question here. 134 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:54.560 So you go to the website.

As we say, Leon Blackman of Odds Checker. Leon, 173 00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:59.840 I know it's an early hour in jolly old England, 174 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.039 and as a matter of fact, I believe it's Thursday 175 00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:04.799 morning already. Thank you for staying up late. How are you, sir? 176 00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:07.279 I'm good, Thanks Dan. How are you doing. 177 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:09.440 I'm doing great. I'm doing great. 178 00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:13.679 How much interest do all of you over in England? 179 00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:15.840 Have on our presidential election. 180 00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:18.120 It is. It's starting to heat up. 181 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:22.159 It's five weeks from right now, we may know who 182 00:10:22.200 --> 00:10:23.559 actually is going to win this election. 183 00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:28.200 Yeah. Well, we've checked in three or four times over 184 00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:30.200 the past year, haven't we. And it's just rising and 185 00:10:30.320 --> 00:10:35.799 interest each time we speak. And I think the VP 186 00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:37.679 debate for me just kind of went over my head. 187 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:40.320 I didn't think I'd have too much impacts on the markets. 188 00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:42.240 But there's been a week get it. 189 00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:43.399 I will bet you it did. 190 00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:48.480 Yeah, yeah, it definitely did. When I first reached out 191 00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:51.159 to the team last week, it was the narrative was 192 00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:55.039 it was going towards Harris in the markets. But that's 193 00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:57.000 taken a complete turn off the last night, which is 194 00:10:57.080 --> 00:10:57.799 just surprising. 195 00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:04.200 Did you get a chance to watch the debate or no, No, I've. 196 00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:06.799 Seen some pionets. I didn't get to watch the boat 197 00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:10.480 debate itself. Yeah, so maybe you could provide some context 198 00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:10.919 into it. 199 00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:13.799 Yeah, Well, is to give you a little interesting context. 200 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:16.879 The first big presidential debate in this country was in 201 00:11:16.960 --> 00:11:21.679 nineteen sixty when Richard Nixon debated John Kennedy, and people 202 00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:24.159 who watched it who listened to it on radio thought 203 00:11:24.159 --> 00:11:27.320 that Nixon had won. They did polls after debate, but 204 00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:31.120 people watched it on television felt the President Kennedy, who 205 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:34.720 looked cool as a cucumber. Nixon apparently was suffering with 206 00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:35.799 some sort. 207 00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:37.039 Of a flu. 208 00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:40.399 He had refused to have any sort of makeup, he 209 00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:44.360 was sweating profusely. He did look the part, and so 210 00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:48.240 people watched it on television were convinced that President Kennedy 211 00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:50.559 won the debate, and many people saw that one as 212 00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.480 a turning point in the nineteen sixty election. I don't 213 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:57.559 think that this last night is a turning point. I 214 00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:01.000 think it might be an inflection point, meaning that this 215 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:06.120 might change the dynamic going forward. And if you watched 216 00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:12.320 last night, the Republican vice presidential candidate, who's only forty, 217 00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:17.559 looked cool as a cucumber, and the Democratic candidate vice 218 00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:23.759 presidential candidate, Governor Walls of Minnesota looked older. He's only sixty, 219 00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:26.600 but he looked older, and he kept looking into the 220 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:30.720 camera and they had the cameras were locked on the 221 00:12:30.720 --> 00:12:32.840 two of them, and it didn't help him at all. 222 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:37.279 So tell us what was the reaction, you know, in 223 00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:40.039 the in the bets that came in in the last 224 00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:40.840 twenty four hours. 225 00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:43.200 Then what did you see? 226 00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:47.320 Yeah, So with our website we compare odds and take 227 00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:51.799 bets on on bookmakers. We've got about twenty one bookmakers 228 00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:56.360 who offered the presidential election odds, and before going into 229 00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:01.360 the VP debate, there were around sixteen seventeen of them 230 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:04.720 who had Kamal Harris's favor, and coming out of that 231 00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:09.559 today it's the majority are now tied exactly on the 232 00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:12.399 same odds, and then the ones that are different have 233 00:13:12.519 --> 00:13:16.200 Trump just marginally leading, which shows just how tight it 234 00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:20.600 is and how they're clueless. Really. That's why I said, 235 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:22.759 if they had any idea, they would be a bigger 236 00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:25.080 difference or not. But it's clearly so tight. 237 00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:30.440 Yeah, And of course, but people sometimes don't understand, and 238 00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:34.720 maybe you can explain it. The odds makers don't care 239 00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:38.159 who wins. They just want to make sure that the 240 00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:43.159 bets are pretty equivalent, and that we call it the 241 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:47.320 big over here, the amount of money that the odds 242 00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:49.279 maker we call them the bookies overhere. 243 00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:51.080 I don't know if that's the term you use over there. 244 00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:52.960 Yeah, yeah, you. 245 00:13:52.919 --> 00:13:56.159 Know, that's where they make their profit. They can't afford 246 00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:00.679 to have, you know, the odds that are race like this, 247 00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:03.559 where you're really just betting the line one, you know, 248 00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:07.120 three x on one side. They have to somehow make 249 00:14:07.159 --> 00:14:10.200 sure that that it's close and that seems to be 250 00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:13.799 what you're getting here. If if it starts to get 251 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:17.879 out of out of balance, tell us what an odds 252 00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:20.919 maker does to protect themselves. 253 00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:24.840 Yeah, so they can. They'll have their own political analyzers 254 00:14:24.840 --> 00:14:28.879 who will analysts who will look at these markets super 255 00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:33.720 close and watch for any kind of indication that it 256 00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:36.519 could be going one way or the other, and that 257 00:14:36.559 --> 00:14:39.759 in that case they would shorten the price on either 258 00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:46.000 Trump or Harris, having them at the exact same odds. 259 00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:49.559 At this point, it's just it shows how tight it 260 00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:52.639 is and they do not know. And they have experts, 261 00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:56.440 professionals who have paid lots of money to analyze these markets, 262 00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:01.720 and they still don't know. And another thing to mention 263 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:04.679 with this mark in particular, it's been open since twenty twenty, 264 00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:09.559 so it's very mature. There's a lot of money in 265 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:14.039 the markets already, which will factor into how the book 266 00:15:14.039 --> 00:15:17.279 makers price up these odds. 267 00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:19.840 Is there a lot of interest in this because it's 268 00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:22.759 an American presidential race, or is there a lot of 269 00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.360 interest in this in England because Donald Trump is standing 270 00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:29.879 for election. I mean he's sort of an international own figure, correct. 271 00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:33.399 Yeah. I think if you look at the elections that 272 00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:39.039 Trump's been in, there is a marked interest in those 273 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:43.759 compared to others. I think he's just that character that 274 00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:50.440 draws interest from betters, from everyone immediately brings more interest 275 00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:52.679 to politics. I think I Trump's running. 276 00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:57.879 Of all the elections that you folks follow over there, 277 00:15:57.919 --> 00:16:00.039 I know what I'm talking about, A big country in 278 00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:04.720 Great Britain. I assume that other than you when you 279 00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:09.960 have an election for prime minister, that the US presidential 280 00:16:09.960 --> 00:16:12.159 election might have the second most interest. 281 00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:13.159 Is that a fair assumption. 282 00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:17.279 Yeah. I think over the course of twenty twenty four, 283 00:16:17.320 --> 00:16:22.399 the US election has been clearly the most the busiest 284 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:28.840 presidential political market that we've had. That's bigger than our 285 00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:34.799 election that we had in May. Yes, by long shot, 286 00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:40.159 by a long shot. Well, yeah, it's a lot bigger, 287 00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:42.279 I think because it was a well known thing that 288 00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:45.759 labor are going to win as well. Here, the fact 289 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:47.240 that it's a bit of a toss up still between 290 00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:52.759 Harrison Trump makes it more of a betting heat versus 291 00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:53.399 our election. 292 00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:56.639 This is a really dumb question. But that's what I 293 00:16:56.679 --> 00:17:01.559 do for a living. I asked questions, dumb leon, do 294 00:17:01.639 --> 00:17:02.559 you see over here? 295 00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:02.799 Now? 296 00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:05.480 We of course see people with we call yard signs. 297 00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:08.160 I'm sure in British elections you have the same thing, 298 00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:12.839 bumper stickers, things like that. Do you see much signage 299 00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:16.759 meaning bumper stickers or people with signs in the windows 300 00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:19.720 on this election in England? 301 00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:24.920 In the UK? For the US election, Yeah, no, I 302 00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:25.440 don't see that. 303 00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:29.480 Okay, you don't see people wearing buttons or anything like that, somebody? 304 00:17:29.920 --> 00:17:33.240 No, No, I don't think we'd to be honest, that's 305 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:35.960 not a huge thing for us, even for a general 306 00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:39.720 election of our own. You see a sign every now 307 00:17:39.759 --> 00:17:42.240 and again, but I don't think it's it's as big 308 00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:43.000 as in the States. 309 00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:43.519 Yeah. 310 00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:46.440 Well, well, I think the British people are a little 311 00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:49.440 more reserved generally and a little more polite than we 312 00:17:49.480 --> 00:17:53.799 are here in America. And of course, as for prime ministers, 313 00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:56.400 you can have elections at any time. You could have 314 00:17:56.440 --> 00:17:59.680 someone become a prime minister and have another election a 315 00:17:59.680 --> 00:18:02.200 few months for a couple of years later. Our presidential 316 00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:05.000 elections come by like clockwork. So maybe that's why we 317 00:18:05.039 --> 00:18:09.160 get more excited at least, we seem to be more 318 00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:12.160 excited as always. Leon, I so much appreciate you taking 319 00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:14.000 the time to be with us. Maybe we'll get you 320 00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:17.759 one more time before a little closer to November the fifth, 321 00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:18.400 How would that be? 322 00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:18.799 Okay? 323 00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:21.839 Yeah, that sounds good. And I know last time you 324 00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:24.200 wanted to know about some of the stakes that were 325 00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:28.119 made about the price points of what people are putting 326 00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:31.880 on this election. I've done some digging into that and 327 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:37.640 give me a couple we Yeah, So every one thousand 328 00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:41.240 pound bet plus that we've taken on this election has 329 00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:44.079 all been on Trump. So all the big bets have 330 00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:48.480 been on Trump. The biggest bet that we've had in 331 00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:52.279 terms of profit is at plus one hundred. So one 332 00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:55.720 user's placed in one thousand pound bet plus one hundred 333 00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:59.160 and it's waiting on Trump and if he wins, he'll 334 00:18:59.200 --> 00:19:05.640 be he'll begging one thousand pound profit. So in recent 335 00:19:05.680 --> 00:19:09.920 weeks after Harris Harris is right, Yeah. 336 00:19:09.559 --> 00:19:11.880 What what happens to all the bets that were on 337 00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:15.759 Biden in April and May and June? Do they get 338 00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:18.359 transferred over to Harris or are they off the board? 339 00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:23.759 It goes by book maker. Some of them are use 340 00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:27.000 it as a pr angles to publicly say okay, we're 341 00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:30.319 changing the bets over to Biden to improve their own image. 342 00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:33.759 Some will avoid them where they'll give the cash back, 343 00:19:33.799 --> 00:19:35.440 and then some will just say it's a no bet 344 00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:38.519 and keep the cash. 345 00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:40.160 It's it's a free market. 346 00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:43.599 But ranging yeah, Leon, thank. 347 00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:44.000 You so much. 348 00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:46.319 We will be back one more time, at least before 349 00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:48.720 the election day, which again. 350 00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:51.240 Is letting now less than five weeks away. Thank you 351 00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:51.680 so much. 352 00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:54.880 I really appreciate, particularly with the time difference. It's a 353 00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:57.799 one thirty in England if I'm reading my clock correctly. 354 00:19:57.839 --> 00:19:58.480 Thank you so much. 355 00:19:58.519 --> 00:20:03.440 Le I done all right, good night or good morning, 356 00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:05.480 I should say. When we get back, we're going to 357 00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:08.960 talk about I think an interesting statistic. 358 00:20:09.119 --> 00:20:09.880 Only one in. 359 00:20:09.880 --> 00:20:12.440 Five US adults exercise every day. 360 00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:13.880 That's not good. 361 00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:19.839 We're gonna talk with Jim Leval, he's a clinical pharmacist 362 00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:24.519 and a clinical nutritionist, about how top athletes can deal 363 00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:28.359 with muscle soreness and fatigue. I'm not a top athlete, 364 00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:31.680 but i hit the gym five to six days a week, 365 00:20:31.759 --> 00:20:35.559 and I'm looking forward to this interview with Jim Leval 366 00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:37.880 back on Nightside right after the news at the bottom 367 00:20:37.880 --> 00:20:38.519 of the hour. 368 00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:46.160 It's night Side with Boston's news radio all Right. 369 00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:52.079 Coupling study, it says just one in five of US 370 00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:56.440 adults exercise every day. With us as Jim Leval he 371 00:20:56.519 --> 00:21:00.759 is a clinical pharmacist and a clinical nutritionist, that number 372 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:04.599 does surprise me, Jim is that I thought it would 373 00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:07.960 be higher than one in five a day. Particularly, people 374 00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:11.400 who are under the age of sixty should be exercising 375 00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:14.200 to stay in shape, and people over the age of 376 00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:16.920 sixty should be doing over the age of sixty should 377 00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:19.880 be doing something every you know, every few days at least. 378 00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:24.039 What's happening to us here in America? 379 00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:25.759 I think we're getting sedentary. 380 00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:26.039 You know. 381 00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:27.880 We love taking our golf cart to the end of 382 00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:32.000 the driveway to get our mail, you know, I you know, 383 00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:35.400 I think some things have gotten too easy. And I 384 00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:37.920 was a little surprised by that data too. But at 385 00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:43.799 the same time, people get busy, They've got emails, they're testing, 386 00:21:43.960 --> 00:21:48.440 they're watching TV. They're doing everything other than what. 387 00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:49.160 We used to do. 388 00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:54.880 I'm in my sixties is get out, walk, get moving, move. 389 00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:57.240 You know, if you love the work, I like working 390 00:21:57.240 --> 00:22:00.599 out with weights, use weights. The problem is the older 391 00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:02.599 you get and you start to do it, people start 392 00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:05.440 to get sore more quickly, and sometimes they give up, 393 00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:07.519 and it turns out that there's some things you can 394 00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:10.440 do to overcome that soreness. But I think really helps 395 00:22:10.519 --> 00:22:12.839 people when they're first starting out. You know, a lot 396 00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:15.000 of folks are trying to lose weight now, a lot 397 00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:18.039 of people, you know, whether they're taking medications to lose weight, 398 00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:20.279 the popular GLP ones or just trying to do it 399 00:22:20.319 --> 00:22:23.279 on their own. They try to get into the gym, 400 00:22:23.359 --> 00:22:27.960 but invariably they start feeling sore, kind of achy, and 401 00:22:28.519 --> 00:22:29.480
