1
00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:07.559
<v Speaker 1>It's Nightside with Dan Ray on WBSY, Boston's news radio Cool.

2
00:00:07.599 --> 00:00:10.039
<v Speaker 2>I agree with you completely. Why would anyone watch a

3
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:13.240
<v Speaker 2>meaningless football game and not listening to Nightside? Thank you

4
00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:17.679
<v Speaker 2>very much. It is Thursday night, September twenty sixth. My

5
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:20.280
<v Speaker 2>name is Dan Ray, the host of Nightside. Rob Brooks

6
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:24.120
<v Speaker 2>is back at Broadcast Central. We're all set to interview

7
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:27.519
<v Speaker 2>four guests on four different topics this hour. There will

8
00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:29.839
<v Speaker 2>be no phone calls in the eight o'clock hour, however,

9
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:33.280
<v Speaker 2>we will get to phone calls later on tonight. There's

10
00:00:33.799 --> 00:00:36.200
<v Speaker 2>some criticism that has come up, and I think it's

11
00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:39.759
<v Speaker 2>legitimate criticism. We'll talk about at nine o'clock about the

12
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:47.759
<v Speaker 2>magistrate judge that released Ryan Wesley Routs insane letter. We'll

13
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:50.000
<v Speaker 2>talk about that to the public. We have a great

14
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:53.240
<v Speaker 2>guest at ten o'clock tonight who has written and authorized

15
00:00:53.399 --> 00:00:58.000
<v Speaker 2>yet unauthorized biography of Alan Durschwitz. It's really an incredible

16
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.560
<v Speaker 2>book and called Legal Gladiator. I think you're going to

17
00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:04.079
<v Speaker 2>really enjoy it. We also might talk about the indictment

18
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:07.000
<v Speaker 2>today of New York City Mayor Eric Adams a little

19
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.560
<v Speaker 2>bit later on tonight. So we got lots on the

20
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:15.400
<v Speaker 2>calendar for this evening, but first batting leadoff is Joyce Sodopolis.

21
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:19.239
<v Speaker 2>She's the co founder of Mass Robotics, and this weekend

22
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:25.840
<v Speaker 2>is the seventh robot Block Party and the second robot Parade. Joyce,

23
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:28.599
<v Speaker 2>I am all ears. I am not a robotic sort

24
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:32.439
<v Speaker 2>of guy, except I think sometimes in my relationships with

25
00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:33.200
<v Speaker 2>other people.

26
00:01:34.480 --> 00:01:37.799
<v Speaker 3>But you be a robotic Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

27
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:42.159
<v Speaker 2>Right, yeah, that's my wife will tell you. Anyway, My

28
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:47.599
<v Speaker 2>question is you guys actually have a robotics block party?

29
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:50.400
<v Speaker 2>What's that all about? And tell about the parade?

30
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:55.719
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so it's super fun. It's it's basically a pavilion

31
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:59.680
<v Speaker 3>style open house robotics festival where we have a couple

32
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:02.879
<v Speaker 3>of life tents and the support, and then we have

33
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:06.959
<v Speaker 3>robots from academia, so things that are being done in research,

34
00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:09.360
<v Speaker 3>we have robots from industry, which is.

35
00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:13.560
<v Speaker 2>How from academia. I mean some of my old college prosts.

36
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:15.560
<v Speaker 3>Will be there, Yes they will.

37
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:21.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm over, don't take so yeah, a lot of a lot.

38
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.319
<v Speaker 3>Of yes, yes, a lot of schools will come and

39
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:25.599
<v Speaker 3>kind of showcase what what their students are working on

40
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.919
<v Speaker 3>and what their professors are working on. Really very futuristic,

41
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:31.360
<v Speaker 3>but then we have a lot of industry out there

42
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.400
<v Speaker 3>who are bringing in robots that are being used in

43
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:39.080
<v Speaker 3>the real world, so manufacturing and high precision gripping and

44
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:42.520
<v Speaker 3>that kind of thing. We have Like Skanska will be there.

45
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:45.520
<v Speaker 3>They're a construction company, but they're going to show what

46
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:48.080
<v Speaker 3>they use for robotics to kind of help them in

47
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:51.560
<v Speaker 3>the construction industry. So a lot of you'll see a

48
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.240
<v Speaker 3>lot of robots that are being used in the real

49
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:58.120
<v Speaker 3>world today and kind of showcase the positive impact that

50
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:00.560
<v Speaker 3>that robots are going to have in the future. We

51
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:02.960
<v Speaker 3>also have a lot of student teams, so high school teams,

52
00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:05.800
<v Speaker 3>and they all have some kind of mock competitions going on,

53
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:09.039
<v Speaker 3>so that's that's also very fun. But the parade we

54
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:12.560
<v Speaker 3>just started last year and we just kind of it

55
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:14.479
<v Speaker 3>was a win when we said, hey, how many robots

56
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:16.639
<v Speaker 3>roll a walk, fly, like, how can we put them

57
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:19.520
<v Speaker 3>all in a in a grand showcase leading up to

58
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:22.759
<v Speaker 3>the start of the of the block party. So we

59
00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:26.080
<v Speaker 3>kind of come down the sidewalk on Seaport Boulevard to

60
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:28.639
<v Speaker 3>a ribbon cutting and then we open, you know, we

61
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.199
<v Speaker 3>have a ribbon cutting and then the festival is open.

62
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:34.680
<v Speaker 2>So how big a crowd have you drawn in the past.

63
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:36.479
<v Speaker 2>I'm hoping you draw a big crowd.

64
00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:41.240
<v Speaker 3>On Saturday, thousands, thousands, it's not, luckily, it's it's over

65
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:43.639
<v Speaker 3>the span of many hours, so it's never you know,

66
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:45.439
<v Speaker 3>like you can't move or walk around.

67
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:48.520
<v Speaker 2>It's open as the public, so it's free and open

68
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:51.080
<v Speaker 2>to the public, so people can drop in, stay a while,

69
00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.000
<v Speaker 2>hang around.

70
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:58.800
<v Speaker 3>Nope, it's completely free. You walk through, you take you

71
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:00.840
<v Speaker 3>can take time, and you can and you can see

72
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:04.840
<v Speaker 3>a robot playing chess. We have bionic bees that will

73
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:08.599
<v Speaker 3>be flying in one corner. They can people can actually

74
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:11.520
<v Speaker 3>drive the robot dogs that will be there. We'll have

75
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:15.240
<v Speaker 3>a drone optical course that people can fly in. We

76
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.800
<v Speaker 3>even have a big water tank. Then we have underwater

77
00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:20.720
<v Speaker 3>robots that people can kind of drive the robots. So

78
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:24.639
<v Speaker 3>we have a pretty wide variety of robots that will

79
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:25.040
<v Speaker 3>be there.

80
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Now, what do you say, There were people out there,

81
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:29.199
<v Speaker 2>and I know that there are people in my audience

82
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:32.120
<v Speaker 2>that who are saying, all these robots they're going to

83
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:37.519
<v Speaker 2>take people these jobs. I think that there's a robot

84
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:40.879
<v Speaker 2>that is in I think one of the local supermarkets.

85
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:44.480
<v Speaker 2>And my grandson is who's two years old, is fascinated

86
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:49.600
<v Speaker 2>by guy. I think you call it dry. Are we

87
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:52.199
<v Speaker 2>putting ourselves out of business here? Or is this just

88
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.519
<v Speaker 2>I guess, the progress of history and none of us

89
00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:57.399
<v Speaker 2>can stand in the way.

90
00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:02.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know, anytime there's progress, their their displacement. But

91
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:05.920
<v Speaker 3>it's not I mean, think about all of the horse

92
00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:08.560
<v Speaker 3>and buggy drivers in New York City. They lost their

93
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:12.120
<v Speaker 3>jobs when automobile automobiles became a thing.

94
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Right, is a passing fad joys you know, as what

95
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:16.680
<v Speaker 2>a was I do? That's not going to last? Right?

96
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:19.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Well, okay, here's the thing when we when we

97
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:23.920
<v Speaker 3>talk about yes, I know, I know, listen, robots are

98
00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:28.600
<v Speaker 3>really good at tasks. They're not good at higher order thinking.

99
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:32.959
<v Speaker 3>So if you think about all these little things that

100
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:36.160
<v Speaker 3>that people don't either don't want to do, like cleaning

101
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:40.160
<v Speaker 3>toilets or washing windows or you know, there's robots for

102
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:43.240
<v Speaker 3>hospitals where the robot will actually go to the pharmacy

103
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.319
<v Speaker 3>and bring back the medication for the patient so that

104
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:49.839
<v Speaker 3>the nurse can actually spend more quality time with the patient,

105
00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:53.519
<v Speaker 3>which is a nice thing for nurses to do. So really,

106
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:57.920
<v Speaker 3>the way we look at robots is enhanced capability. It

107
00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:00.759
<v Speaker 3>is helping you do your job better. It's giving you

108
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.120
<v Speaker 3>more time to spend doing the things that you like

109
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:08.920
<v Speaker 3>rather than the mundane, dull tasks. So I like to

110
00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:11.720
<v Speaker 3>use the example of a window washer. It's dangerous to

111
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:15.120
<v Speaker 3>be hanging from those those ropes on you right washing

112
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.240
<v Speaker 3>washing the windows. Now, if there was a robot doing that,

113
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:20.680
<v Speaker 3>you would still need a person to deploy the robot.

114
00:06:21.160 --> 00:06:25.800
<v Speaker 3>A person would still have to clean and inspect and

115
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:28.839
<v Speaker 3>repair the robot. Somebody had to actually build the robot.

116
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:32.120
<v Speaker 3>So there's a manufacturer someone that building these robots. Someone

117
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:34.560
<v Speaker 3>had to design it, someone has to sell it. So

118
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:38.079
<v Speaker 3>basically you've created ten jobs right there, instead of having

119
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:42.160
<v Speaker 3>three guys hanging from ropes washing windows that are dangerous.

120
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:45.079
<v Speaker 2>You know, that is a great example. I would be

121
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:48.079
<v Speaker 2>all from robots doing that. I don't want a robot

122
00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:50.560
<v Speaker 2>taking my job as a talk show host. That's the

123
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:51.519
<v Speaker 2>concern that we have.

124
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:54.319
<v Speaker 3>But you know what, I don't know if they'll ever

125
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:55.879
<v Speaker 3>be as winny as you dre well.

126
00:06:55.959 --> 00:06:58.319
<v Speaker 2>I don't about that. I'm sure that you could program

127
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:01.480
<v Speaker 2>them pretty easily. The one robot that I would like

128
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:04.639
<v Speaker 2>to see was if we could develop a pitcher, a

129
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:07.319
<v Speaker 2>baseball pitcher for the Red Sox who could throw the

130
00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:09.959
<v Speaker 2>ball maybe about one hundred and twenty five miles an hour,

131
00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:13.639
<v Speaker 2>never missed a strike zone. Is that with it? Is

132
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:15.000
<v Speaker 2>that possible do you think?

133
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:19.759
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it is possible to make a robot to

134
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:22.279
<v Speaker 3>do that, But then what from would that be? Watching

135
00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:24.240
<v Speaker 3>the robot would be perfect every time?

136
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, but watching watching a Red Sox the robot pitcher

137
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:29.360
<v Speaker 2>strike out twenty seven Yankees?

138
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:35.120
<v Speaker 3>That might that might be fun to watch. Absolutely I

139
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:37.360
<v Speaker 3>don't see, yeah, I don't see people really wanting to

140
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:41.319
<v Speaker 3>pay to watch that. I mean, okay, all right, right,

141
00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:42.240
<v Speaker 3>but you know.

142
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:48.920
<v Speaker 2>All all of my all of my ideas that anyway, Look,

143
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:53.639
<v Speaker 2>this is on Saturday the twenty eighth years, two days

144
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:56.680
<v Speaker 2>from now, and it's down in the seaport. Easy to find.

145
00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:58.319
<v Speaker 2>The Seaport's kind of a big place.

146
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:02.519
<v Speaker 3>Super you define Seaport Boulevard and you cannot miss it.

147
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:04.519
<v Speaker 3>So if you come down, if you come across the

148
00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:09.480
<v Speaker 3>bridge from Boston down Seaport Boulevard, you'll see it on

149
00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:11.600
<v Speaker 3>the on the left. It's big tents.

150
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:13.199
<v Speaker 4>You guys see all the area.

151
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:15.319
<v Speaker 2>Where are you all the way at the end, you know,

152
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:17.560
<v Speaker 2>past everything? Or are you halfway down.

153
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:19.759
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, no, no, it's in the it's it's actually

154
00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:23.480
<v Speaker 3>in the middle. It's in there's two big parking lots

155
00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:25.160
<v Speaker 3>in the center of the seaport off right off the

156
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:28.519
<v Speaker 3>Seaport Boulevard. One is the Cisco pop up and the

157
00:08:28.600 --> 00:08:32.000
<v Speaker 3>other generally a parking lot, but they've been hosting ws

158
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:34.559
<v Speaker 3>Development kind of owns this whole area, and they've been

159
00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:38.480
<v Speaker 3>hosting movies in the summer. They also host the you know,

160
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:40.759
<v Speaker 3>the winter festival there'.

161
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:41.960
<v Speaker 2>That'll help a lot. That's going to help a lot

162
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:47.480
<v Speaker 2>of people. Just loky because the seaport is still new

163
00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:49.080
<v Speaker 2>and people do not need tickets.

164
00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:52.360
<v Speaker 3>Correct, No, you just can walk right in. I mean,

165
00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:55.720
<v Speaker 3>of course we'd love you to register, but you walk in.

166
00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:58.960
<v Speaker 3>The parade starts at ten forty five. It'll come down

167
00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:02.399
<v Speaker 3>Seaport Boulevard to eighty eight, so that the number is

168
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:05.679
<v Speaker 3>eighty eight Seaport Boulevard. Perfect if you wanted to put

169
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:08.120
<v Speaker 3>that in, you know, absolutely, I want to.

170
00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:10.240
<v Speaker 2>Let my robot put that in my GPS and we'll

171
00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:12.480
<v Speaker 2>be joyce, thank you very much.

172
00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:15.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, once it's open open to the public, you walk through,

173
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:18.960
<v Speaker 3>you take your time, you know, drive the robots talk

174
00:09:19.039 --> 00:09:22.840
<v Speaker 3>to the vendors, talks to students and hopefully be inspired,

175
00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:25.639
<v Speaker 3>you know, students get inspired to go into these fields.

176
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:29.879
<v Speaker 2>Sounds great, sounds great. Joyce Sodopolis, the co founder of

177
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Mass Robotics. Thanks again, Joyce. I enjoyed the conversation, although

178
00:09:34.039 --> 00:09:36.639
<v Speaker 2>I think sometimes you weren't sure if I was joking.

179
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:39.799
<v Speaker 4>But that's thank you.

180
00:09:39.840 --> 00:09:40.399
<v Speaker 3>For having me.

181
00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:42.440
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Joyce, appreciate it. We get back. We're going

182
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:44.279
<v Speaker 2>to talk about a serious subject and that is a

183
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:47.240
<v Speaker 2>subject every man should be concerned about. That is a

184
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:50.320
<v Speaker 2>prostate cancer. This is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and a

185
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:53.120
<v Speaker 2>moment we'll be talking with doctor Timothy O'Rourke. He's a

<v Speaker 1>Night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.

196
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:30.840
<v Speaker 2>As I mentioned, it's prostate cancer Awareness month. September is

197
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:33.440
<v Speaker 2>the month that we are in right now. With me

198
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:37.240
<v Speaker 2>is doctor Timothy o' O'Rourke. He's a urologist with Cape

199
00:10:37.360 --> 00:10:43.720
<v Speaker 2>cod Healthcare. We've talked about prostate cancer before on Doctor

200
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.320
<v Speaker 2>O'Rourke and welcome to Night's Side, by the way.

201
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:49.120
<v Speaker 5>But for having me on, You're very welcome.

202
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:51.559
<v Speaker 2>How tough is it to get the message out to

203
00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:55.080
<v Speaker 2>guys that hey, this is something that can be really

204
00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:58.759
<v Speaker 2>serious and if you can catch it early, it's going

205
00:10:58.840 --> 00:10:59.919
<v Speaker 2>to make a huge difference.

206
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:04.799
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you know, to your point, it is sometimes difficult

207
00:11:04.840 --> 00:11:07.559
<v Speaker 5>because it's the last thing that are necessarily thinking about

208
00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:10.440
<v Speaker 5>on a daily basis with all the stressors of life,

209
00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:14.440
<v Speaker 5>et cetera. But you know, prostate cancer is one of

210
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:18.679
<v Speaker 5>those things that if diagnosed early, you know you can

211
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:22.320
<v Speaker 5>treat it and cure it. The challenge is prostate cancer

212
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:26.480
<v Speaker 5>doesn't typically cause symptoms at early stages, and so the

213
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:29.360
<v Speaker 5>way you you know, identify prostate cancer at an early

214
00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:30.639
<v Speaker 5>stage is through screening.

215
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:34.600
<v Speaker 2>And that's that's a simple blood test.

216
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:37.759
<v Speaker 5>Right, Yeah, So the PSA blood it's a simple blood test.

217
00:11:37.799 --> 00:11:41.000
<v Speaker 5>So if you're going into your primary care provider physician,

218
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:44.159
<v Speaker 5>you know, it's you know, it's one of the things

219
00:11:44.200 --> 00:11:48.000
<v Speaker 5>you should discuss because it is a simple blood test

220
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.000
<v Speaker 5>psa prostate specific antigen. It's been around since the early

221
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:56.600
<v Speaker 5>nineteen nineties and it is still the primary screening modality

222
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:00.679
<v Speaker 5>that's utilized that and oftentimes that's paired with a prostate

223
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:04.840
<v Speaker 5>examination or a digital rectal examination to where your doctor

224
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:08.399
<v Speaker 5>or a provider will actually examine the prostate to feel

225
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:11.279
<v Speaker 5>for any areas that might be nodular or hard or

226
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:13.639
<v Speaker 5>firm overall suspicious.

227
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's where I think a lot of people will

228
00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:21.840
<v Speaker 2>guys because women don't have prostate those magic words of

229
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:25.240
<v Speaker 2>rect examination a lot. Let me say, well, you know,

230
00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:28.639
<v Speaker 2>maybe next time that's sort of think, yeah, what is

231
00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:29.879
<v Speaker 2>the function of the prostate.

232
00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:33.200
<v Speaker 5>It's a gland, right, Yeah, it's the prostate is it's

233
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:37.200
<v Speaker 5>a gland. Basically, it contributes part of the ejaculate and

234
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.879
<v Speaker 5>men some of the nutrients ands in for the sperm cells.

235
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:45.279
<v Speaker 5>But once you're past through reproductive years, you know, I

236
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:47.919
<v Speaker 5>typically tell men that it becomes more of a liability

237
00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:52.559
<v Speaker 5>than anything, because after that, really it serves limited purpose.

238
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:55.080
<v Speaker 5>You know, you have to urinate through the prostate clan

239
00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:57.799
<v Speaker 5>to get the urine to come out, and as you

240
00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:01.000
<v Speaker 5>get older, the prostate is going to unlaw urge and

241
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:04.519
<v Speaker 5>oftentimes make it more difficult to urinate and can cause

242
00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:07.279
<v Speaker 5>a number of urinary symptoms, which you know, the urinary

243
00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:12.200
<v Speaker 5>symptoms that you experience, they certainly aren't associated with prostate

244
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:15.799
<v Speaker 5>cancer per se. They can be, but in many cases,

245
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:18.320
<v Speaker 5>the signs of an enlarged prostate mimic the signs of

246
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:19.200
<v Speaker 5>prostate cancer.

247
00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:21.840
<v Speaker 2>So what would those some of those symptoms be for

248
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:25.080
<v Speaker 2>people who are out there listening the problem.

249
00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:32.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, sometimes it's sometimes it's difficulty passing urine as the

250
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:36.120
<v Speaker 5>prostate enlarge is just think of any plumbing situation. You know,

251
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:38.840
<v Speaker 5>if the channel gets more narrow then you might have

252
00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:41.600
<v Speaker 5>to strain more to urinate, or it comes out in

253
00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:48.840
<v Speaker 5>a weaker stream, or urinary urgency or frequency not completely

254
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:51.320
<v Speaker 5>emptying the bladder, waking up a lot at night. Again,

255
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:53.879
<v Speaker 5>these are these are non specific symptoms that they're not

256
00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:56.039
<v Speaker 5>always they're not a sign of cancer per se, but

257
00:13:56.279 --> 00:13:59.159
<v Speaker 5>can can be and you know, are are a sign

258
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:02.080
<v Speaker 5>of potential having an enlarged prostate.

259
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:08.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So look, let's assume hypothetically, someone goes to sleep,

260
00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:11.960
<v Speaker 2>you know whatever, midnight, they listen at night side and

261
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:14.799
<v Speaker 2>they turn off for ready with dignight, and normally they

262
00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:16.759
<v Speaker 2>wake up at seven o'clock in the morning and they

263
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:19.120
<v Speaker 2>wake up at three point thirty and they have to

264
00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:24.600
<v Speaker 2>relieve themselves. How is that a sign that people should

265
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:27.720
<v Speaker 2>be worried about or is that just fairly part of

266
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:31.200
<v Speaker 2>the life cycle. And if you have drank a lot

267
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:34.159
<v Speaker 2>of liquid before you went to bed, the chances are

268
00:14:34.240 --> 00:14:36.600
<v Speaker 2>you sleeping through the night maybe diminished.

269
00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:39.679
<v Speaker 5>So now you're absolutely right, So I don't think you

270
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:44.440
<v Speaker 5>should consider that a warning sign for prostate answer. Specifically,

271
00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:48.279
<v Speaker 5>it's a non specific symptom, but it often does happen.

272
00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:51.039
<v Speaker 5>Then it can be associated with actually a number of

273
00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:55.840
<v Speaker 5>health conditions, prostate issues being one of them, bladder issue

274
00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:59.519
<v Speaker 5>being another. Believe it or not, obstructive sleep apnea, people

275
00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:03.559
<v Speaker 5>who have to wear a cepat mask, you know, those

276
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:05.440
<v Speaker 5>people tend to wake up at night as well. So

277
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:10.600
<v Speaker 5>it's certainly not specific to the prostate and shouldn't in isolation,

278
00:15:10.799 --> 00:15:13.200
<v Speaker 5>be a warning sign. But if you are having that

279
00:15:13.279 --> 00:15:16.080
<v Speaker 5>issue and you know you're thinking about prostate cancer, it's

280
00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:19.399
<v Speaker 5>important to bring it up to your primary care provider

281
00:15:19.480 --> 00:15:21.240
<v Speaker 5>to get the blood test, to get screened.

282
00:15:21.759 --> 00:15:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and then worst case scenario, let's assume they detected early.

283
00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:30.679
<v Speaker 2>The earlier the better. Like with any form of cancer,

284
00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:36.279
<v Speaker 2>I assume treatments to deal with it. Some can be surgical,

285
00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:39.799
<v Speaker 2>some can be just you know, medical intervention.

286
00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:43.360
<v Speaker 5>Yes, so there's a there's a big spectrum as far

287
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:46.519
<v Speaker 5>as prostate cancer is concerned. When I, you know, talk

288
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:49.320
<v Speaker 5>with my patients about it and counsel them, whether they're

289
00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:51.360
<v Speaker 5>here for you know, seeing me for an elevated p

290
00:15:51.559 --> 00:15:54.720
<v Speaker 5>s A or newly diagnosed with prostate cancer. You know,

291
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:58.120
<v Speaker 5>we talk about that spectrum and the risk kind of

292
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:01.240
<v Speaker 5>you know, you're stratified into a risk classification when you're

293
00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:04.480
<v Speaker 5>diagnosed with prostate cancer, and based on that risk, there

294
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:07.120
<v Speaker 5>are several options, and believe it or not, some of

295
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:11.080
<v Speaker 5>the early stage prostate cancers low risk prostate cancers. For

296
00:16:11.159 --> 00:16:15.799
<v Speaker 5>most men, the recommendation is a protocol called surveillance, active surveillance,

297
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:22.440
<v Speaker 5>where we monitor the disease basically because sometimes the risks

298
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:25.639
<v Speaker 5>and side effects of treatment actually cannot weigh the risk

299
00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:29.679
<v Speaker 5>of monitoring. So but some of the other treatment modalities

300
00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:33.360
<v Speaker 5>for patients with prostate cancer that require treatment, you know,

301
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:37.879
<v Speaker 5>or things like surgery radical prostatectomy, which is a surgery

302
00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:43.759
<v Speaker 5>we do minimally invasive robotic approach by enlarge the predominant

303
00:16:43.799 --> 00:16:47.360
<v Speaker 5>way that the surgery is done. We have very quick recovery,

304
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:50.159
<v Speaker 5>most men going home next day or even in some cases,

305
00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:54.879
<v Speaker 5>same day as their surgery. Another option is radiation, which

306
00:16:54.919 --> 00:17:00.159
<v Speaker 5>is sometimes paired with treatments to block testosterone, because day

307
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:05.400
<v Speaker 5>cancers actually fueled by testosterone. But there's a big spectrum,

308
00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:09.920
<v Speaker 5>and as you've alluded to, you know, in some cases, unfortunately,

309
00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:13.119
<v Speaker 5>if the cancer is diagnosed late, then the systemic treatments

310
00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:13.799
<v Speaker 5>are required.

311
00:17:14.720 --> 00:17:18.799
<v Speaker 2>So what I've also heard is that as men get older,

312
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:21.880
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know what age we're talking about here,

313
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:25.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure if we're talking about the seventies or eighties,

314
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:32.680
<v Speaker 2>even if they're diagnosed with prostate cancer, the likelihood is

315
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:35.279
<v Speaker 2>that the prostate cancer at that point in their lives

316
00:17:35.319 --> 00:17:41.519
<v Speaker 2>is fairly slow in many cases, and they will pass

317
00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:44.480
<v Speaker 2>away of something unrelated to prostate cancer. Is there a

318
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:47.759
<v Speaker 2>point in time that men can start to kind of

319
00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:51.759
<v Speaker 2>say I don't have to worry about this or is

320
00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:53.680
<v Speaker 2>it something that they have to be worried about whether

321
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:56.640
<v Speaker 2>they're thirty nine or ninety nine.

322
00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:00.359
<v Speaker 5>Well, that's a great question, and you know, men, you're

323
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:03.119
<v Speaker 5>going to be at risk for prostate cancer throughout your life.

324
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:06.759
<v Speaker 5>But to your point, most prostate cancer is slow growing

325
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:09.799
<v Speaker 5>type of cancer and a lot of men dine with

326
00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:14.960
<v Speaker 5>rather than from prostate cancer. The guidelines basically away guidelines.

327
00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:19.680
<v Speaker 5>American Neurological Association has a very clear set of guidelines

328
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:24.440
<v Speaker 5>that go over this topic and discuss discuss that very point,

329
00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:28.279
<v Speaker 5>you know, as does men get older, particularly when life

330
00:18:28.279 --> 00:18:31.480
<v Speaker 5>expectancy is maybe less than ten years, or if they're

331
00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:34.680
<v Speaker 5>a conversation with your doctor about whether or not you

332
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:38.519
<v Speaker 5>would want to continue testing. You know, after age seventy

333
00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:42.200
<v Speaker 5>to seventy five, you might consider not checking the PSA

334
00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:45.319
<v Speaker 5>test any longer. That being said, you know you are

335
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.319
<v Speaker 5>at risk for prostate cancer, and every case is different

336
00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:53.039
<v Speaker 5>depending on your personal risk threshold and what you kind

337
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:55.559
<v Speaker 5>of how you want to kind of manage your health.

338
00:18:56.839 --> 00:18:59.240
<v Speaker 5>But it requires a conversation and what we call shared

339
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:03.799
<v Speaker 5>decision making. They're perfectly healthy. You know, people in their

340
00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:09.000
<v Speaker 5>seventies who want to continue screening for prostate cancer, and

341
00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:11.480
<v Speaker 5>I you know, I discussed that with my patients and

342
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:16.160
<v Speaker 5>I think that's that's perfectly reasonable in cases. So there's

343
00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:18.440
<v Speaker 5>really no strict cut date, but I think it's a

344
00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:20.759
<v Speaker 5>very personalized decision and worth discussing.

345
00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:24.680
<v Speaker 2>You know. I appreciate your time, very thoughtful responses, as

346
00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:28.079
<v Speaker 2>I would expect from doctor Timothy O'Rourke. He's a urologist

347
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:33.680
<v Speaker 2>with Cape called Healthcare. Again, the lesson here is as

348
00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:36.039
<v Speaker 2>best you can keep an eye on it. It's as

349
00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:40.400
<v Speaker 2>simple error. Uh, doctor O'Rourke, I really appreciate you taking

350
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:44.440
<v Speaker 2>your time. You're a great communicator, doctor, and I mean

351
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:46.400
<v Speaker 2>that's you know, I have a lot of doctors on

352
00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:50.680
<v Speaker 2>and sometimes they I don't know, they're either not able

353
00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:54.119
<v Speaker 2>or unwilling to entertain the questions. And I really thank

354
00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:56.279
<v Speaker 2>you for what you did tonight.

355
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.839
<v Speaker 5>And take the people, Doctor Timothy O'Rourke, thanks so much

356
00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:01.519
<v Speaker 5>for having.

357
00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:04.559
<v Speaker 2>On much pleasure and absolute pleasure. Thank you very much. Well,

358
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:07.039
<v Speaker 2>we get back when we talk with another doctor, doctor

359
00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Macy Smith, who's a gerontologist with some advice and help

360
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:19.359
<v Speaker 2>for dementia caregivers, not people who are dealing with dementia themselves,

361
00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:22.880
<v Speaker 2>but for those who are the caregivers of people who

362
00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:26.160
<v Speaker 2>are dealing with dementia will explain the difference, and we'll

363
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:28.640
<v Speaker 2>talk to doctor Macy Smith right after this break here

364
00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:31.960
<v Speaker 2>on Nightside. It is a Thursday night, the weekend now,

365
00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:34.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm telling it's only about you know, twenty six, twenty

366
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:36.680
<v Speaker 2>eight hours away. Well maybe a little warrant than that,

367
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:38.759
<v Speaker 2>I should say twenty seven and a half hours away.

368
00:20:39.039 --> 00:20:41.480
<v Speaker 2>We're we're moving in on Friday and next thing, you know,

369
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:44.079
<v Speaker 2>to be Saturday. So we'll get we'll get you through

370
00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:46.839
<v Speaker 2>this week here on Nightside. Coming right back right after.

371
00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:51.880
<v Speaker 1>This, You're on Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ,

372
00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:53.519
<v Speaker 1>Boston's news radio.

373
00:20:54.799 --> 00:21:00.119
<v Speaker 2>All right, I suspect that everyone in this audience understands

374
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:04.079
<v Speaker 2>what cognition is and what dementia is. We're talking with

375
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:06.880
<v Speaker 2>someone who really understands what this is, and that's doctor

376
00:21:06.960 --> 00:21:10.799
<v Speaker 2>Macy Smith. She's a gerontologist, Doctor Smith. How are you tonight?

377
00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:13.119
<v Speaker 4>I'm doing well. How you doing?

378
00:21:13.200 --> 00:21:13.400
<v Speaker 3>Dan?

379
00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:18.599
<v Speaker 2>I think I'm doing just fine. You're a gerontologist. Why

380
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:20.799
<v Speaker 2>don't you explain to my audience? I think I know

381
00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:23.079
<v Speaker 2>what that means. But give give my audience for anyone

382
00:21:23.079 --> 00:21:25.240
<v Speaker 2>out there who just might not quite understand what a

383
00:21:25.279 --> 00:21:26.880
<v Speaker 2>gerontologist is. What is it?

384
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:31.039
<v Speaker 4>So speaking to my gen xers and my baby boomers

385
00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:34.759
<v Speaker 4>and prior to when you think of Jareditah, what do

386
00:21:34.759 --> 00:21:35.279
<v Speaker 4>you think.

387
00:21:35.119 --> 00:21:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Of old people?

388
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:40.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you think of that tonic? Are that medication or

389
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:43.519
<v Speaker 4>treatment that the older peoples would take? People would take

390
00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:47.160
<v Speaker 4>for every and anything? And so I tell my younger

391
00:21:47.240 --> 00:21:50.319
<v Speaker 4>folks then they're like, I don't think of anything, right,

392
00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:56.079
<v Speaker 4>So it is that I specialize in the care understanding

393
00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:58.759
<v Speaker 4>the care and challenges of those over the age of

394
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:02.599
<v Speaker 4>sixty five and their family caregivers, which anand the average

395
00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:06.000
<v Speaker 4>caregiver is aged forty nine to fifty years of age.

396
00:22:06.279 --> 00:22:11.160
<v Speaker 4>So understanding their challenges and understanding the systems and support

397
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:14.160
<v Speaker 4>that can be developed and put in place to address

398
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:14.920
<v Speaker 4>those challenges.

399
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:17.759
<v Speaker 2>What this is one of these questions I always ask questions.

400
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:20.680
<v Speaker 2>None of my questions are scripted. So if I've asked

401
00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:23.640
<v Speaker 2>you a question here that's unfair. Tell me what percentage

402
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:27.119
<v Speaker 2>of American families at this point do you think have

403
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:32.440
<v Speaker 2>someone living within the family home who's dealing with dementia?

404
00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:36.599
<v Speaker 2>And what percentage of American families are touched by dementia,

405
00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:39.759
<v Speaker 2>meaning a parent or a grandparent has passed, or a

406
00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:43.039
<v Speaker 2>parent or grandparent is now living in a center where

407
00:22:43.039 --> 00:22:45.039
<v Speaker 2>they're getting full, full care.

408
00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:49.519
<v Speaker 4>Well, I will tell you that nearly seven million Americans

409
00:22:49.559 --> 00:22:53.359
<v Speaker 4>are living with Alzheimer's disease, are some form of dementia.

410
00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:58.200
<v Speaker 4>And so although a very small percentage of that population

411
00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:01.759
<v Speaker 4>may not have any family because they never had any children,

412
00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:06.960
<v Speaker 4>didn't have any siblings, the majority belonged to some type

413
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:10.559
<v Speaker 4>of family system. We know about one in ten, so

414
00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:14.000
<v Speaker 4>about ten percent of the population over the age of

415
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:17.799
<v Speaker 4>sixty five is dealing with some form of dementia. Doesn't

416
00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:20.319
<v Speaker 4>mean that once you reach the age of sixty five

417
00:23:20.519 --> 00:23:24.680
<v Speaker 4>and beyond that you're going to get Alzheimer's or dementia,

418
00:23:24.960 --> 00:23:28.000
<v Speaker 4>because you don't necessarily have to get it. It's not

419
00:23:28.039 --> 00:23:30.680
<v Speaker 4>a normal part of aging. Although age is the number

420
00:23:30.720 --> 00:23:34.440
<v Speaker 4>one risk factor, what's more of a risk factor outside

421
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:35.880
<v Speaker 4>of age is lifestyle.

422
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:40.319
<v Speaker 2>And what lifestyle should people avoid if they'd like to

423
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:45.160
<v Speaker 2>avoid Alzheimer's. What can we do proactively to avoid that condition?

424
00:23:45.240 --> 00:23:47.359
<v Speaker 2>And then what I want to talk about is what

425
00:23:47.519 --> 00:23:51.240
<v Speaker 2>help you can provide for the caregivers. What if someone

426
00:23:51.279 --> 00:23:57.000
<v Speaker 2>is approaching their sixty fifth birthday, what everyone's life is different.

427
00:23:57.319 --> 00:24:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Give us some key key ingredients to some not to dos?

428
00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:02.880
<v Speaker 2>Are some two dos?

429
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:06.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And I appreciate you asking that question. And I'll

430
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:09.480
<v Speaker 4>say this, These tips that I'm getting ready to share

431
00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:12.680
<v Speaker 4>should be started as soon as you hear me share them, right.

432
00:24:13.000 --> 00:24:15.200
<v Speaker 4>You don't need to wait until you are sixty four

433
00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:18.200
<v Speaker 4>a sixty four and a half. You want to start

434
00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:23.440
<v Speaker 4>making healthy lifestyle changes once you know better. And so

435
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:27.920
<v Speaker 4>what we know about the disease process, approximately forty percent

436
00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:30.559
<v Speaker 4>of the different types of dementia that we see, because

437
00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:33.960
<v Speaker 4>all Zheimer's is only one type, can possibly be prevented,

438
00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:38.799
<v Speaker 4>are significantly reduced. Your chances are reduced by eating well.

439
00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:42.279
<v Speaker 4>And when I say eating well, I'm not saying go vegan.

440
00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:46.240
<v Speaker 4>Are a vegetarian, although vegetarian is a healthier diet if

441
00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:49.839
<v Speaker 4>you ensure that you have the right food food groups

442
00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:52.400
<v Speaker 4>to ensure that you have all your proper nutrients, but

443
00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:56.880
<v Speaker 4>a low salt, low fat diet reducing inflammation in your body.

444
00:24:57.240 --> 00:24:59.200
<v Speaker 4>You want to be sure that you're staying active and

445
00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:01.519
<v Speaker 4>exercise and making sure that heart rate is up at

446
00:25:01.559 --> 00:25:04.680
<v Speaker 4>least thirty minutes every day. You want to be sure

447
00:25:04.680 --> 00:25:07.599
<v Speaker 4>that you say socially engaged. Dan, you know, don't isolate

448
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:09.880
<v Speaker 4>yourself or be by yourself because your brain is not

449
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:12.799
<v Speaker 4>mentally stimulated. So you want to be with people you

450
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:16.440
<v Speaker 4>enjoy being around. You want to ensure that you get sunlight.

451
00:25:16.839 --> 00:25:18.400
<v Speaker 4>You know, when the sun is out, you need to

452
00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:21.680
<v Speaker 4>be out right, as long as you don't get overheated

453
00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:24.440
<v Speaker 4>or anything like that, because it's giving you the serotonin

454
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:26.599
<v Speaker 4>that you need to feel good, and when you feel good,

455
00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:28.920
<v Speaker 4>you do good. You want to be sure that you

456
00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:31.480
<v Speaker 4>get an adequate amount of sleep. Adults should get anywhere

457
00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:34.039
<v Speaker 4>from seven to nine hours of sleep every night. And

458
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:35.880
<v Speaker 4>I'm not talking about that fake sleep, Dan, you know,

459
00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:37.880
<v Speaker 4>like you're linking your eyes and you act and like

460
00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:40.839
<v Speaker 4>you t sleep. No, I mean like that deep rim sleep,

461
00:25:40.880 --> 00:25:44.599
<v Speaker 4>because what that does is your brain repairs the superficial

462
00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:47.079
<v Speaker 4>damage from the day, from the day of you learning

463
00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:49.920
<v Speaker 4>and growing and engaging, and so when you're asleep, your

464
00:25:49.960 --> 00:25:54.880
<v Speaker 4>brain can regroup, recalibrate, reorganize. And then you want to

465
00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:58.160
<v Speaker 4>be sure that you know you're staying away from smoking

466
00:25:58.480 --> 00:26:03.200
<v Speaker 4>and drinking all the oh red wine does have respiratrail

467
00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:06.359
<v Speaker 4>in it and resitral there's some research to support that

468
00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:08.839
<v Speaker 4>it is a brain enhancing nutrient, but you know you

469
00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:10.599
<v Speaker 4>can't drink too much of it. You don't want to

470
00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:15.599
<v Speaker 4>get inebriated. And so when we talk about those lifestyle habits,

471
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:17.640
<v Speaker 4>these are things that we do. Everything that's good for

472
00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:19.880
<v Speaker 4>our heart. Whatever is good for your heart is good

473
00:26:19.920 --> 00:26:22.599
<v Speaker 4>for your brain. You want to ensure that you're managing

474
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:25.359
<v Speaker 4>those cool morbid conditions and those chronic illnesses such as

475
00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:28.519
<v Speaker 4>high blood pressure and diabetes. When you reduce your risk

476
00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:32.160
<v Speaker 4>of those elements, you reduce your risk of developing progressive

477
00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:33.440
<v Speaker 4>types of dementia.

478
00:26:33.640 --> 00:26:36.400
<v Speaker 2>Well that's a great answer, and it was clear and

479
00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:41.880
<v Speaker 2>precise and concise, really really good. One of the things

480
00:26:41.880 --> 00:26:44.079
<v Speaker 2>that I try to do. I'm a talk show host.

481
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:46.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to tell you how old I am,

482
00:26:46.079 --> 00:26:48.240
<v Speaker 2>but I'll tell you I'm over sixty five.

483
00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:53.519
<v Speaker 4>Oh wow, Oh yeah, don't sound like that all.

484
00:26:53.920 --> 00:26:56.200
<v Speaker 2>I've worked in television for thirty one years and I've

485
00:26:56.200 --> 00:26:58.960
<v Speaker 2>been doing this show. Next week we'll start year eighteen

486
00:26:59.000 --> 00:27:02.119
<v Speaker 2>on the show What the Do at Night? After my

487
00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:04.559
<v Speaker 2>show at midnight, I'm on Monday through Friday eight to midnight.

488
00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:07.799
<v Speaker 2>And I really want to know if I should recommend

489
00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:12.359
<v Speaker 2>this to people before I go to bed, I'll open

490
00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:15.039
<v Speaker 2>up the newspaper and I'll try to complete the crossword

491
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:16.119
<v Speaker 2>puzzle for that day.

492
00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:17.839
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, many times.

493
00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Many times I'm like half asleep and I just put

494
00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:22.759
<v Speaker 2>it away, shut the light out, and go right off

495
00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:24.960
<v Speaker 2>to sleep. But I find that a great way to

496
00:27:25.079 --> 00:27:28.400
<v Speaker 2>end the day. Now, call me crazy, but I'd love

497
00:27:28.440 --> 00:27:29.160
<v Speaker 2>to know what you think.

498
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.000
<v Speaker 4>Well, so I will say that we all have to

499
00:27:33.039 --> 00:27:37.519
<v Speaker 4>be lifelong learners. When you're learning you information, you're firing

500
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:40.599
<v Speaker 4>off those neurons, You're building up a cognitive reserve. And

501
00:27:40.640 --> 00:27:43.079
<v Speaker 4>so if you were in line to get Alzheimer's disease,

502
00:27:43.119 --> 00:27:45.920
<v Speaker 4>because it's really you know, no one hundred conclusive way

503
00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:48.079
<v Speaker 4>to prevent it, but if you're in line to get it,

504
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:51.480
<v Speaker 4>if you built up a cognitive reserve because you were

505
00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:56.319
<v Speaker 4>a lifelong learner, learning new information, doing exciting things, then

506
00:27:56.319 --> 00:27:59.920
<v Speaker 4>you could delay your delay onset of dementia, which are

507
00:27:59.920 --> 00:28:03.839
<v Speaker 4>the symptoms that you see confusion, the memory less, and forgetfulness.

508
00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:07.000
<v Speaker 4>And so, while I won't say that it's ideal to.

509
00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:09.400
<v Speaker 3>Do crossword puzzles before you go to bed, because.

510
00:28:09.160 --> 00:28:11.680
<v Speaker 4>If you're somebody like me, I might it might keep

511
00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:13.559
<v Speaker 4>me up because I couldn't figure out.

512
00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:15.000
<v Speaker 3>This last question, you know what I mean.

513
00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:20.920
<v Speaker 4>But doing crossword puzzles in general are ideal. Now, I

514
00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:24.279
<v Speaker 4>will say, though, you know how people do the word

515
00:28:24.359 --> 00:28:28.559
<v Speaker 4>sign books that don't do too much for your cognitive

516
00:28:28.720 --> 00:28:32.400
<v Speaker 4>ability because you're just circling the words, you see, you're

517
00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:39.039
<v Speaker 4>not thinking about anything. Yeah, those crossword puzzles, you're thinking

518
00:28:39.079 --> 00:28:43.039
<v Speaker 4>about what the answer might be. And so whenever you're thinking,

519
00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:47.359
<v Speaker 4>you're exercising your brain and you're building a cognitive reserve.

520
00:28:47.400 --> 00:28:49.279
<v Speaker 4>And so you want to read new books, you want

521
00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:51.359
<v Speaker 4>to watch new movies, you want to go new places,

522
00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:53.440
<v Speaker 4>you want to learn a new language. Then if you're

523
00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:54.680
<v Speaker 4>right hand to start writing.

524
00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:55.079
<v Speaker 6>With your left hand.

525
00:28:55.119 --> 00:28:57.680
<v Speaker 4>Sometimes this is going to cause you to what think

526
00:28:57.720 --> 00:28:59.279
<v Speaker 4>about it, and that's what you want to do.

527
00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:01.960
<v Speaker 2>I wish I as a kid I had learned to

528
00:29:01.960 --> 00:29:04.279
<v Speaker 2>play the piano. I really mean that. At the older

529
00:29:04.319 --> 00:29:07.359
<v Speaker 2>I get, the more impressed I am that people.

530
00:29:07.079 --> 00:29:08.799
<v Speaker 4>Who are you can start now.

531
00:29:09.039 --> 00:29:10.119
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, I.

532
00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:12.319
<v Speaker 4>Think you listeners would would love to hear hear that

533
00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:13.839
<v Speaker 4>story in that journey.

534
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:17.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it probably be pretty pretty ugly. But look, I

535
00:29:17.599 --> 00:29:21.680
<v Speaker 2>really liked our conversation, doctor Smith. You selling my sort

536
00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:25.039
<v Speaker 2>of doctor. Thanks so much for being as clear as

537
00:29:25.200 --> 00:29:28.319
<v Speaker 2>as you are. And I'd love to have you back.

538
00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:32.000
<v Speaker 4>I really I'd love to be back.

00:29:31.920 --> 00:29:33.839
<v Speaker 2>Maybe even bring you back and do an hour and

00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:36.200
<v Speaker 2>talk to some listeners because this.

541

<v Speaker 2>We'll do that. Okay, we'll do that. I'll let my

543
00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:43.119
<v Speaker 2>producer get back in touch and we'll do something on that.

<v Speaker 4>Okay, thank you so much, and you have a good.

545

<v Speaker 2>Night, you two. Doctor Macy Smith, the gerontologist. Uh and uh.

546
00:29:50.359 --> 00:29:54.240
<v Speaker 2>She has a book called and if I'm correct here

547
00:29:54.319 --> 00:29:57.319
<v Speaker 2>help me out, doctor Smith, a dementia a dementia caregiver

548
00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:02.359

549
00:30:02.400 --> 00:30:05.440
<v Speaker 2>doctor Macy Smith. She won't even know that we promoted

550
00:30:05.440 --> 00:30:08.000
<v Speaker 2>the book, but how could I not after having her

551
00:30:08.119 --> 00:30:11.160
<v Speaker 2>been such a nice person. We'll be back and we're

552
00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:13.240
<v Speaker 2>going to talk about something that's scared the heck of

553
00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:16.200
<v Speaker 2>a lot of people in Boston. It's a giant Joe

554
00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:20.000
<v Speaker 2>ro Spider. Let me tell you this is a great story.

555
00:30:20.000 --> 00:30:23.240
<v Speaker 2>We're going to talk with a emeritus professor of entomology

556
00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:28.400
<v Speaker 2>from the University of Maryland Turp, Maryland Terp, doctor Michael Roup.

557
00:30:28.519 --> 00:30:29.240
<v Speaker 2>Right after this.

558
00:30:29.799 --> 00:30:32.759
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan ray Line from the Window World

559
00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:36.279
<v Speaker 1>Nice six Studios on w b Z to news radio.

560
00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:39.240
<v Speaker 2>And all my career here in Boston and television and radio,

561
00:30:39.279 --> 00:30:42.440
<v Speaker 2>I've never seen a story as big as the story

562
00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:45.079
<v Speaker 2>has been about such a little insect. It's called the

563
00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:48.599
<v Speaker 2>giant juro spider. With us is doctor Michael Ropp. He's

564
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:51.519
<v Speaker 2>an emeritus professor of entomology at the University of Maryland,

565
00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:54.119
<v Speaker 2>so he's a terp, but he knows a lot about

566
00:30:54.200 --> 00:30:56.319
<v Speaker 2>juro spiders. Professor. How are you tonight?

567
00:30:57.079 --> 00:30:59.519
<v Speaker 6>Hey, Dan, how you doing? I'm doing great? And boy,

568
00:30:59.640 --> 00:31:03.319
<v Speaker 6>it's it's in Beacon Hill. I heard, Yes, sir, that's

569
00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:04.039
<v Speaker 6>pretty wicked.

570
00:31:04.359 --> 00:31:07.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, less, we would say up here. The only time

571
00:31:07.559 --> 00:31:10.160
<v Speaker 2>we say wicked, we say we're wicked spot. But we

572
00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:14.519
<v Speaker 2>know that professors like yourself putting up my boss that

573
00:31:14.599 --> 00:31:18.200
<v Speaker 2>accent there about this. So this we've never had one

574
00:31:18.279 --> 00:31:20.799
<v Speaker 2>up here. How did this this spider get up here?

575
00:31:20.839 --> 00:31:21.319
<v Speaker 2>Do you think?

576
00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:24.839
<v Speaker 6>Well, that's a real puzzle, I have to say, Dan.

577
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:28.599
<v Speaker 6>The normal way that these things will disperse. It's just

578
00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:31.920
<v Speaker 6>like in Charlotte's Web. Remember Charlotte laid those eggs, and

579
00:31:31.960 --> 00:31:35.359
<v Speaker 6>the eggs hatched, and the little spiderlings, they produce a

580
00:31:35.400 --> 00:31:37.920
<v Speaker 6>little bit of silk, they get caught on an updraft,

581
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:43.079
<v Speaker 6>and then they can travel great distances colonized new area.

582
00:31:43.160 --> 00:31:45.680
<v Speaker 6>But I got a hunch that maybe this one actually

583
00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:52.759
<v Speaker 6>traveled up perhaps either possibly somebody down in the Carolinas, Georgia,

584
00:31:52.799 --> 00:31:55.920
<v Speaker 6>where these things are very common. Maybe as a small

585
00:31:56.000 --> 00:31:58.440
<v Speaker 6>spider it's snuck into a vehicle, or maybe as an

586
00:31:58.440 --> 00:32:01.400
<v Speaker 6>adult it's not in it was trans supported perhaps twenty people,

587
00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:05.200
<v Speaker 6>lawn furniture, something like this. It jumped out and boom,

588
00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:06.480
<v Speaker 6>there it is and beacon tell.

589
00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:09.880
<v Speaker 2>So those how will can this thing survive the winter

590
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:11.240
<v Speaker 2>up here? Or they will?

591
00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:14.279
<v Speaker 6>That is the million dollar question. I'll give you a

592
00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:18.519
<v Speaker 6>little insight into this. In twenty twenty two here in Maryland,

593
00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:23.720
<v Speaker 6>we had two sightings of jarro spiders in the county

594
00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:24.079
<v Speaker 6>I live in.

595
00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:24.759
<v Speaker 2>No.

596
00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:26.920
<v Speaker 6>I did not bring them it, So let's get rid

597
00:32:26.960 --> 00:32:27.640
<v Speaker 6>of that right away.

598
00:32:27.759 --> 00:32:30.200
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, I would never suspect you of that.

599
00:32:31.319 --> 00:32:36.200
<v Speaker 6>By twenty twenty three, now we've got eighteen sightings here.

600
00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:40.279
<v Speaker 6>In twenty twenty four, eight additional sightings. So this tells

601
00:32:40.359 --> 00:32:45.240
<v Speaker 6>us that probably the northern climates, as a group of

602
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:49.079
<v Speaker 6>scientists wrote about earlier, this year, they said, hey, you know,

603
00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:53.119
<v Speaker 6>this particular spider where it's from in Asia probably will

604
00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:57.039
<v Speaker 6>be able to expand its range into more northern areas.

605
00:32:57.559 --> 00:32:59.680
<v Speaker 6>And by golly, it sure looks like it's going to

606
00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:02.559
<v Speaker 6>do it. It certainly has done it in here in Maryland.

607
00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:05.200
<v Speaker 6>You know, I got to be honest with you. I

608
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:08.839
<v Speaker 6>think the Boston, you know, not that different in Maryland.

609
00:33:08.880 --> 00:33:11.920
<v Speaker 6>Climatically you get a little bit colder, but you know,

610
00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:14.720
<v Speaker 6>with global warming and these mild winters, I think this

611
00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:17.400
<v Speaker 6>thing has a reasonable chance of being able to survive,

612
00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:19.920
<v Speaker 6>surely as Farnos, maybe even Boston.

613
00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:24.079
<v Speaker 2>So will some group or individual try to capture this

614
00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:27.119
<v Speaker 2>and then keep them inside in a cage? And that

615
00:33:27.440 --> 00:33:28.559
<v Speaker 2>is that inadvisable?

616
00:33:29.680 --> 00:33:35.200
<v Speaker 6>I think anything can happen here. Look the jarro spider

617
00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:37.960
<v Speaker 6>in and of itself. This is a very timid spider.

618
00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:41.279
<v Speaker 6>It does have things, It does have venoms, but the

619
00:33:41.319 --> 00:33:45.119
<v Speaker 6>experts tell me those things are small, so small they're

620
00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:47.680
<v Speaker 6>probably not going to be able to pierce the human skin.

621
00:33:48.400 --> 00:33:51.799
<v Speaker 6>I've seen lots of pictures of people handling jar spiders

622
00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:54.519
<v Speaker 6>with no ill effects. So let's let's rate that. If

623
00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:57.920
<v Speaker 6>it's not going to be a threat to human or pets.

624
00:33:58.200 --> 00:34:01.640
<v Speaker 6>The real concern here that we might have is we

625
00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:06.680
<v Speaker 6>have several indigenous large orb weaving spiders, the black and

626
00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:11.599
<v Speaker 6>yellow garden spider, the marbled orb weaver, the spotted orb weaver.

627
00:34:11.719 --> 00:34:15.960
<v Speaker 6>These are all very large spiders like the jarrow. Not

628
00:34:16.039 --> 00:34:18.480
<v Speaker 6>as big as the jarrow. This is ruling the roost

629
00:34:18.519 --> 00:34:21.880
<v Speaker 6>right now sidewise, but they build big webs. So the

630
00:34:22.000 --> 00:34:26.119
<v Speaker 6>question we have as ecologists is will this new spider,

631
00:34:26.159 --> 00:34:31.559
<v Speaker 6>this big orb weaver, potentially compete with our indigenous spiders.

632
00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:35.639
<v Speaker 6>We don't have information on that yet. What I have

633
00:34:35.880 --> 00:34:39.800
<v Speaker 6>been told is in the Southern States, once jarrow becomes established,

634
00:34:40.239 --> 00:34:42.719
<v Speaker 6>it does become the dominant spider in an area. In

635
00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:45.000
<v Speaker 6>other words, there'll be lots and lots of these webs.

636
00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:48.119
<v Speaker 6>But HENK, guess what this spider is going to kill

637
00:34:48.199 --> 00:34:50.920
<v Speaker 6>pass It's going to catch things like brown marmorate at

638
00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:54.679
<v Speaker 6>stinking bogs. It's going to catch things like spotted lantern flies.

639
00:34:55.320 --> 00:34:57.559
<v Speaker 6>So this will be part of what I call Mother

640
00:34:57.719 --> 00:35:00.719
<v Speaker 6>Nature's hit squad that will help you do some of

641
00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:03.880
<v Speaker 6>these other invasive pests. And guess what a lot of

642
00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:08.119
<v Speaker 6>these things are coming from Asia. So this jarro spader,

643
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:13.440
<v Speaker 6>shall we say knows these things from an ancient association

644
00:35:13.960 --> 00:35:17.840
<v Speaker 6>with these particular pests back in Asia, and it's going

645
00:35:17.880 --> 00:35:20.719
<v Speaker 6>to be just like Hannibal Lecter having an old friend

646
00:35:20.800 --> 00:35:21.760
<v Speaker 6>over for lunch.

647
00:35:21.960 --> 00:35:25.400
<v Speaker 2>But absolutely I love the metaphor, Doctor Rolph. I wish

648
00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:29.039
<v Speaker 2>I had more time here. We will love to have

649
00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:31.280
<v Speaker 2>you back. I want to put you on our regular list.

650
00:35:31.320 --> 00:35:34.920
<v Speaker 2>You're really good. I mean that seriously. You've explained science

651
00:35:34.960 --> 00:35:36.760
<v Speaker 2>to me. I never did really well in science in

652
00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:41.440
<v Speaker 2>school either. Well no, no, no, no, I'm sure you did.

653
00:35:41.719 --> 00:35:44.280
<v Speaker 2>You did great. That chemistry thing was always tough. When

654
00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:46.079
<v Speaker 2>I saw that periodic table, I said, how the hell

655
00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:47.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna memorize this?

656
00:35:47.159 --> 00:35:48.760
<v Speaker 6>But yeah, organic, what's the struggle.

657
00:35:48.880 --> 00:35:51.639
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you. I'd love to have you back. I

658
00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:55.880
<v Speaker 2>really mean that the time. But thank you very very much.

659
00:35:55.880 --> 00:35:57.639
<v Speaker 2>You know you could listen to our show down there

660
00:35:57.679 --> 00:36:01.079
<v Speaker 2>by the way. We boom into Maryland. We're ten thirty

661
00:36:01.159 --> 00:36:04.239
<v Speaker 2>the AM dial. We're w j Z was our old

662
00:36:04.280 --> 00:36:07.639
<v Speaker 2>sister station on Baltimore. We were on the old Wesley

663
00:36:07.639 --> 00:36:09.679
<v Speaker 2>House television and radio station.

664
00:36:09.880 --> 00:36:11.960
<v Speaker 6>So yeah, I work with jay Z quite a bit,

665
00:36:12.000 --> 00:36:14.400
<v Speaker 6>so I'll look into that and I'll be happy to

666
00:36:15.320 --> 00:36:17.719
<v Speaker 6>have a chance to pick you guys up on the

667

668
00:36:21.480 --> 00:36:22.000
<v Speaker 6>good fun.

669
00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:24.039
<v Speaker 2>I have to say you got the wicket in there.

670
00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:27.519
<v Speaker 2>That's for sure. A great job, doctor Michael Will Okay,

671
