It's 17 00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:56.679 so much to drool about. Listens for lessons for living large. 18 00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:58.640 A little bit later on to I'm going to talk 19 00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:05.280 about imaging. So many young children now are more concerned 20 00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:10.519 about their looks and it's very dangerous, and we will 21 00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:13.599 talk with a guest who we had on just a 22 00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:17.280 couple of weeks ago, Kelly Shoop, who's a licensed pediatric 23 00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:20.359 occupational therapist.

Let 28 00:01:38.159 --> 00:01:41.359 us start off with one of my favorite guests. Emily Sweeney, 29 00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:45.120 Boston Globe reporter, wrote a great piece yesterday, I think 30 00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:49.200 it was yesterday. Theys sometimes do run together later in 31 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:52.560 the week, folks about the unsolved murder of a marine 32 00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:57.599 whose story in some part he was involved at least 33 00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:03.040 a little bit in the A few good men not clear, 34 00:02:03.159 --> 00:02:07.599 but but this individual now is one of the cold 35 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:13.000 case files, a murder victim that Emily brings to our attention, 36 00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:17.400 and it's it's a crazy, it's a wild story, the 37 00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:22.919 unsolved murder of David V. Cox. Emily, I know you 38 00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:25.520 can break this down for us. I loved the piece 39 00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:28.599 and the Globe this week. You did your work on it, 40 00:02:28.719 --> 00:02:33.360 and hopefully it's maybe gonna get some leads for for 41 00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:36.360 the police here and they can bring this case and 42 00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:38.120 some closure to the family. How are you. 43 00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:41.759 Tonight, Emily, Oh excellent, Dan, thank you so much for 44 00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:44.000 having me on the show. I'm you know, this is 45 00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:49.120 a really important important topic, you know, unsolved murders, and 46 00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:52.599 you know this one especially a lot of people. It's interesting, 47 00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.560 you know, haven't really heard about it. You know, it 48 00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:58.599 happened in nineteen ninety four, you know which which is 49 00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:02.039 you know, a little ways back. But yeah, local marine 50 00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:06.319 David Cox. He grew up in Needham and was living 51 00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:11.919 in Natick when he suddenly disappeared one day and it 52 00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.639 was three months later that you know about that his 53 00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.319 body was found, uh in kind of a remote area 54 00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:21.960 in over in the town of Medfield. 55 00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:27.639 I know that I know that area very well, Nadick, Medfield. 56 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:31.680 Oh boy, that is lots of woods and I think 57 00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:34.159 the area when we talked about it earlier, there's a 58 00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.879 couple of gun clubs over there. Nothing to do with 59 00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:41.439 the murder. But if you were going to uh kill 60 00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:46.039 someone with a gun, another extra gunshot might go unnoticed. 61 00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:50.120 No, no, exactly that that's what investigators thought at the 62 00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.319 time too, that it must have been somebody who knew 63 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:58.000 the area well to you know, bring David out there, 64 00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:00.960 you know, between two gun clubs were you know, might 65 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.520 not you know, you know, nobody would hear them, or 66 00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:06.800 if they did. You know, it's a very commonplace. So 67 00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:10.240 it's a very strange case. And I'm still actually working 68 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:14.080 on it too, because I'm trying to fuck yeah, I'm 69 00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:18.480 trying to find So when David was killed, he had 70 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:21.360 applied for a full time job at UPS. He was 71 00:04:21.399 --> 00:04:26.720 working pot time at the Somerville facility, and his brother 72 00:04:26.839 --> 00:04:29.160 told me that, you know, this is right before he died, 73 00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:32.279 that he had seen some sketchy activity happening at this 74 00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:37.199 UPS terminal in Somerville. This is nineteen ninety four, and 75 00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:40.399 you know, I'm trying to find anybody who worked there 76 00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:42.879 around that time, and I'm trying to talk to folks, 77 00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:45.319 you know, just to find out, you know, anything I 78 00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:46.319 can find out. 79 00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:48.759 Okay, So if you worked, or if you have a 80 00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:53.160 relative who worked at the UPS facility in Somerville circa 81 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:57.879 nineteen ninety four, Emily Sweeney would love to hear from you. Now. 82 00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:02.279 This fellow, while he was in the Marines, was stationed 83 00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:05.279 at Guantanamo. He was considered one of the best of 84 00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:07.759 the best. I think that's the folks who are down 85 00:05:07.839 --> 00:05:14.240 there at Guantanamo. And he was a little peripherally involved 86 00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:18.160 in the movie A Few good Men. No connection there, 87 00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:21.319 you think you don't think that that there was anything 88 00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:24.800 that that bubbled up out of that part of his 89 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:26.800 life that could have followed him back home. 90 00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:30.879 Well, you know, it's it's interesting because you know the 91 00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:33.959 you know, his experience in the Marines. He was part 92 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:36.720 of this group kind of known as the ten that 93 00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:42.439 got caught hazing another marine in Guantarnamo Day. And what 94 00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:46.839 happened was, you know, seven of the guys you know, 95 00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:51.639 pled out, and David was one of the few to 96 00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:55.279 fight it in court, a court martial and you know, 97 00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:58.639 tell the Marines that no I was acting on orders 98 00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:03.800 to do this hazing. And so that court martial ended 99 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:07.600 up being the basis or the inspiration for A Few 100 00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:11.199 Good Men. Names were changed, you know, events were changed 101 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:13.079 in the movie. And in the movie you'll see like 102 00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.720 you know, this isn't based on any real events, but 103 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.279 it is known that Aaron Sorkin's sista was one of 104 00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:21.720 the lawyers representing one of the Marines at the time, 105 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:24.800 and he did get a transcript of the court martial, 106 00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:28.360 and you know, and then obviously you know, I think 107 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:31.000 that provided the inspiration for a Few Good Men, which is. 108 00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:31.560 A great movie. 109 00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:34.240 By the way, it still holds up. I just watched 110 00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:34.959 it the other day. 111 00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:37.680 God handle the truth right. 112 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:39.279 Now. 113 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:41.759 You deal with the truth all the time, and you're 114 00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:45.519 looking for the truth here, and folks can contact you 115 00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:49.000 at the Globe Again, they could very well be people 116 00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:52.800 listening in the audience tonight who worked at that facility 117 00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:57.160 in Somerville. You said it was the UPS facility in Somerville, yep, 118 00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:02.240 which would have been well a little more than thirty 119 00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:06.600 years ago at this point. So those many people are 120 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:10.000 there could still be listening and still be alive today, 121 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:13.439 There's no doubt about that. And that love Emily would 122 00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:16.199 love you to just give her a call and talk 123 00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:19.720 and maybe try to help her out.

It's actually our twenty 190 00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:02.559 fourth year that we've been running it, and it's a 191 00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:06.600 global gathering where science meets technology to solve some of 192 00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:09.799 the toughest challenges in healthcare and accelerate the future of 193 00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.320 precision medicine. So Boston is known as a hub for 194 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:17.200 biotech and fauma, and you would consider our event as 195 00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:21.600 the hub for people who are using artificial intelligence, data 196 00:11:21.639 --> 00:11:25.879 advanced computing to drive breakthroughs in areas like als, Alzheimer's 197 00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:27.039 and cancer, for example. 198 00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:28.840 We have a history. 199 00:11:29.440 --> 00:11:30.840 Let me ask you a question. When you say the 200 00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:37.320 twenty fourth have the twenty fourth annual bio it World 201 00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:40.320 Conference and Expo. Has it always been in Boston for 202 00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:43.080 twenty four years or is this your first time or 203 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:44.639 your second or third time to Boston. 204 00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.519 It's always been in Boston. We launched it right here 205 00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:49.519 in two thousand and two. 206 00:11:50.159 --> 00:11:54.440 Oh, okay, okay, tell us about some of the I 207 00:11:54.480 --> 00:12:01.320 see a whole bunch of programs here, data management, generative AI, bioformatics, 208 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:07.720 on and on and on, pharmaceuticalceutical, pharmaceutical R and d infumamatics. 209 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:12.879 Who shows up and who could best benefit from this conference? 210 00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:18.279 Well, that's an interesting question. We have over two eight 211 00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:22.919 hundred people from around the world, about thirty countries. We 212 00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:29.240 have people who are biotech innovators. We have artificial intelligence experts, 213 00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:36.720 arma companies, technology experts, investors. We have companies like the 214 00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:43.000 top institutions like Mayo Clinic, Pfizer, Johnson and Johnson, and Vidia, Google. 215 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:46.559 We also have people from Harvard MIT, John Hopkins for example, 216 00:12:46.639 --> 00:12:48.919 So about fifty percent of our attendees are from the 217 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.679 life science. We have twenty percent from technology and informatics. 218 00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:59.679 Okay, so is this a conference whereby potential investors can 219 00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:03.559 learn about some of the cutting egg, cutting edge technology 220 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:08.679 that is underway. I'm trying to understand it better because 221 00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:14.480 this is not my area of expertise. Obviously, people come 222 00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:17.480 they want to showcase what they're doing. I get that, 223 00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:21.240 But who are they showcasing it to? Are they showcasing 224 00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:24.519 it simply to each other or you mentioned investors. Are 225 00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:28.320 people coming here and trying to learn what is available? 226 00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:32.639 Some people looking for you know, you know, private equity 227 00:13:32.679 --> 00:13:34.639 or venture capital money? Tell me about that. 228 00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:40.720 So we have a venture, Innovation and partner in conference 229 00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:43.919 that runs part of BIOT. It's their second year that 230 00:13:43.960 --> 00:13:47.480 we've been running it. So we gather people who are 231 00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:53.480 senior level investors, corporate execs, entrepreneurs and startups from biotech, 232 00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:58.279 BioMed research, drug discovery, healthcare. So it's an opportunity for 233 00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:04.440 people to network and collaborate. They talk about investment trends, 234 00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:06.600 what are some of the challenges, what are some of 235 00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:11.879 the opportunities in BioMed research, drug discovery, healthcare technology. So 236 00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:17.240 it's a very important conversation where these executives are looking 237 00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:20.919 for ways to invest money, what's the hut, what's the 238 00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:26.279 next hot thing, especially around artificial intelligence and generative AI. 239 00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:29.360 So it's really important where we bring together the C 240 00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:33.159 suite industry stakeholders. We have over two hundred people that 241 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:37.080 come just for this particular part of the program. 242 00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:42.200 Now, is this something that people in the greater Boston 243 00:14:42.279 --> 00:14:46.440 area who might have an interest in this but might 244 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:50.320 not be connected with one of these groups formerly? Is 245 00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:53.519 this open to the public or is it invitation only? 246 00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:56.559 I see, you know, I see all sorts of it 247 00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:02.600 looks to me like different panels, data platforms and storage, infrastructure, 248 00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:08.600 AI for oncology, precision medicine, and health. It's a wide 249 00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:13.360 variety of subjects. Okay, but is it do you almost 250 00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:15.799 have to have been invited? Or can people sign up 251 00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:18.960 and just attend if they're so inclined. 252 00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:25.399 We are accepting registrations for people who are able to 253 00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:31.960 join us, and the event really focuses on the science 254 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:38.480 and meeting technology. So people who are working on projects 255 00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:42.600 or research that bridges the gaps between science and technology 256 00:15:42.639 --> 00:15:48.000 will really benefit from learning about topics and themes that 257 00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:49.080 our speakers are covering. 258 00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:52.720 Okay, so this is not something I'm looking at it here. 259 00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:59.000 This costs a few dollars to attend, and this is 260 00:15:59.039 --> 00:16:03.799 not something that the public here in the Boston area 261 00:16:04.200 --> 00:16:09.799 could just drop into. They might not even be eligible. 262 00:16:09.840 --> 00:16:11.600 It looks to me, it looks to me like this 263 00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:14.320 is almost an invitation only conference. Or am I reading 264 00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:14.759 it wrong? 265 00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:16.360 Now? 266 00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:19.320 It's not an invitation only conference. We do have a 267 00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:23.399 registration fee for people who want to attend the programming 268 00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:28.080 and attend the content, but we also have an exhibit 269 00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:31.080 hall of over one hundred and fifty companies, and we 270 00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:35.559 have a spellar plinary keynote program that we offer Wednesday 271 00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:39.399 Thursday Friday. So if someone is wanting to just come 272 00:16:39.440 --> 00:16:41.559 to the event and go to the exhibit hall and 273 00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:45.039 the keynotes, they're able to do that. And if they 274 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:50.720 want to upgrade their registration and attend those things plus 275 00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:54.440 all the programming that we offer, then they're able to 276 00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:58.639 do that at a separate price. So we offer a 277 00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:00.480 price point for different sides. 278 00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:03.720 So let's just give it me straight here. What's the 279 00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:07.680 minimum that if someone from Boston is just intrigued by 280 00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:11.640 this because obviously we're publicizing the conference. I want you know, 281 00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:14.759 what's the minimum cost that would talk it would take 282 00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:19.160 someone to participate or to just attend the conference. Is 283 00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:21.680 there a minimum that you could cite for me? I'm 284 00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:26.599 looking at your website and it's a little confusing to me. 285 00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:30.799 I really don't see something where it says, you know, 286 00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:34.839 minimum registration. Is there a minimum you could cite or no? 287 00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:40.200 If so on the website. If our website is bio 288 00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:45.319 hyphen it Worldexpo dot com, and we have a registration area. 289 00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:49.000 So if someone so up in the tab on the 290 00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:52.559 top right, it's register. So if you click on that 291 00:17:53.279 --> 00:17:57.000 and then scroll down, it gives you standard registration. So 292 00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:01.119 we offer registration for someone who's a student, that's very 293 00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:02.359 reasonable and affordable. 294 00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:04.920 We offer her that's two hundred and ninety nine dollars 295 00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:07.920 if you're a doctoral student. I'm just talking about somebody 296 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:11.440 who would like to curiosity go by this. Is there 297 00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:16.119 a minimum charge for someone in my audience who's interested, 298 00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:17.000 That's all I'm asking. 299 00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:21.079 There would be a minimum charge, yes, if. 300 00:18:20.960 --> 00:18:24.880 They wanted, Yeah, and how much is that minimum charge? 301 00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:26.920 It would be ninety nine dollars? 302 00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:30.119 Gotcha? Okay, that's simple. I seem like a complicated question. 303 00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:33.000 Thank you very much, Cindy. I appreciate the information. It's 304 00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:37.160 wonderful to publicize an event, but my audience, if they're intrigued, 305 00:18:37.480 --> 00:18:39.920 I want them to know what it would cost for 306 00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:42.039 them to get on the MBTA and take a ride by. 307 00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:44.880 So now now we know. Thank you very much, Cindy 308 00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:48.640 Crown Crown and Shield. She's the executive director of the 309 00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:54.119 upcoming bio World twenty twenty five conference showcase technology is 310 00:18:54.119 --> 00:18:58.119 poised to accelerate accelerate life saving therapies. Thanks Cindy, I 311 00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:00.680 appreciate it. Thank you very much. Thank you. 312 00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:00.960 Dan. 313 00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:04.079 All right, when we come back, we're going to talk 314 00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:08.200 about a new book, so much to drool about, Lessons 315 00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:12.240 for Living Large, told from the perspective of an author's 316 00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:16.240 for Great Danes. The booksheres inspiring stories and life lessons 317 00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:19.440 for people of all ages. That's Barbara Stone and about 318 00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:23.799 a forty five. Will be talking with one of America's 319 00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:28.559 favorite singers, Pat Boone. Pat Boone, who is trying to 320 00:19:28.599 --> 00:19:31.759 do something for Tanzania. Pack on nightside right after the news. 321 00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:33.680 By the way, you can pull down the iHeart app 322 00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:36.839 pretty easy to pull it down. Just go to your 323 00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:39.880 local app store. Look it up the iHeart app New 324 00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:43.440 and improved, and you can set your preset number one 325 00:19:43.440 --> 00:19:46.240 preset for WBZ Boston so you can listen to us 326 00:19:46.319 --> 00:19:48.880 anytime anywhere in the world.

We are going to talk about Dawn 331 00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:03.440 and whenever we talk about dogs. I'm very happy our 332 00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:08.559 guest is Barbara Stone, but I believe she responds to Barb. 333 00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:10.599 Barb Stone, Welcome to Nightside. 334 00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:11.759 How are you well? 335 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:16.279 Okay, Stan? Great? Thank you? Yes, it does make you 336 00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:17.839 feel happy, don't they. 337 00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:21.799 Oh my god, did did better than people, Barb. I mean, 338 00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:23.480 I hate to put it like that, but I mean, 339 00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:28.240 given a choice, I know, I know, so anyway that's 340 00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:31.200 most people. Let me put it like that. Okay. So 341 00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:35.200 you're an author and a leadership development coach. I know 342 00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:37.960 what a third base coach is because today's opening day 343 00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:41.759 of Major League Baseball, But what's the leadership development coach? 344 00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:46.599 So you know, when I had had a twenty five 345 00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:50.920 year career in manufacturing, and then after that as senior leader, 346 00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:53.200 I really wanted to be able to do something, to 347 00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:59.079 be able to help people move along themselves, their teams, 348 00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:03.079 their company, to really get in the right direction. So I, 349 00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:08.319 during my last few years of being in manufacturer, started coaching, 350 00:21:08.480 --> 00:21:13.640 got more into the development of people, the training. So 351 00:21:13.680 --> 00:21:16.920 what I do now is I work with individuals or 352 00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:21.519 I work with teams companies and train the teams on 353 00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:25.599 what does leadership really really mean to them and how 354 00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:27.559 do they move that forward? And then I work with 355 00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:31.319 them individually as a coach, because they can't move the 356 00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:34.160 team unless they can move themselves first. 357 00:21:34.599 --> 00:21:36.680 So I mean, it's interesting. I don't know if you 358 00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:40.119 follow hockey, but our beloved Boston Bruins zero to six, 359 00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:43.640 maybe we could get you to do some coaching for them. Hey, 360 00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:46.960 they've lost it. They've lost their last six games and 361 00:21:47.440 --> 00:21:50.599 coming perilously close to the seller in the NHL. So 362 00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:52.720 but that's not what you're here to talk about. You're 363 00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:54.880 here to talk about your book, which came out I 364 00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:57.039 think just recently a few days. 365 00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:59.920 Ago, right, Yeah, it was just out. It was released 366 00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:04.880 on Amazon Kindle version, and it will on the twentieth 367 00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:09.079 and it should be in prints the beginning of April. 368 00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:12.680 Okay, so let's talk about it. The book is entitled 369 00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:16.200 so much to drool about lessons for Living large, and 370 00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:20.920 it's your perspective. You have four Great Danes? Who are 371 00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:21.519 your pets? 372 00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:26.960 Yeah, not all at once. We started with one, and 373 00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:30.079 then three years later we had to get a puppy. 374 00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:33.079 We rescued our first one, and then when the first 375 00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:36.319 one died, we replace that one. So we've always have 376 00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:42.480 two because yeah, they're just because they're just amazing beings. 377 00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:45.599 Well, here's the deal. Okay, I've never had a Great Dane, 378 00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:47.640 but I'd love to know. I certainly know what they 379 00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:52.200 look like. How much does a Great Dane weigh? Generally? 380 00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:54.240 Is there a difference between the male and the female 381 00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:56.440 Great Danes? First of all, just to give people a 382 00:22:56.559 --> 00:22:58.319 sense if they've never seen one. 383 00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:03.640 So our our first one, that was she was a 384 00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:06.839 smaller Dane and she was probably about one hundred and ten. 385 00:23:07.400 --> 00:23:09.519 She was more like, I don't want to say the 386 00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:13.559 American Dane, but she was just she wasn't the European Danes. 387 00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:22.559 European Danes are heavier boned and much uh just funkier. Okay, 388 00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:25.880 they can go up to about one seventy one eighty. 389 00:23:26.319 --> 00:23:30.319 Okay, so what are the lessons now? Obviously there are 390 00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:32.960 lessons that we learned from dogs, but since you're writing 391 00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:36.680 about great Danes, I'm assuming there might be some specific 392 00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:39.920 lessons that you learned from great Danes that I might 393 00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:43.519 not have learned from my favorite dog of all. Well, 394 00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:45.920 I have three favorite dogs. Now. Both of my kids 395 00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:50.319 have dogs, so I have I'm a grand grand grand dog, 396 00:23:50.680 --> 00:23:56.240 grandfather to Mustard the Corgi uh and really the Shorky 397 00:23:56.319 --> 00:23:59.960 which is part shit super part Yorkie. Uh. And my dog, 398 00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:03.440 which I bought from my daughter, Oh god, it's twenty 399 00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:07.079 five years ago now, was a Cavalier King Child Spaniel 400 00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:12.240 Nation Charlie. For ten years was my very best friend, 401 00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:18.160
