<v Speaker 2>four hours, give or take a few minutes. My name

7
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:22.760
<v Speaker 2>is Dan Ray. I'm the host of Nightside, starting off

8
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:26.719
<v Speaker 2>another full week of programming here from eight to midnight

<v Speaker 2>We have four guests coming up. Let me tell you that.

11
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:35.799
<v Speaker 2>Later on this evening, beginning at nine o'clock, we're going

13
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:41.799
<v Speaker 2>to talk about the dismissal yesterday of New England Patriots

14
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:45.280
<v Speaker 2>head coach Gerard Mayo. I'm not so sure that was

15
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:47.399
<v Speaker 2>the right move, and I'll be in the minority on that,

16
00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:50.240
<v Speaker 2>but we can discuss that. At ten o'clock. Going to

17
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:53.880
<v Speaker 2>talk about Boston traffic. It may not be the worst,

18
00:00:53.960 --> 00:00:57.240
<v Speaker 2>but it's nearly the worst of the top twenty five

19
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:00.840
<v Speaker 2>most congested American cities. We will get to all of that,

20
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:04.000
<v Speaker 2>but first of all, we have four very important guests

21
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.040
<v Speaker 2>here coming up this how we're going to talk about

22
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:08.680
<v Speaker 2>eight foods that will add to your diet. In twenty

23
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:11.640
<v Speaker 2>twenty five, going to talk with a Syrian American doctor

24
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:14.760
<v Speaker 2>from Boston who is returning to Syria for the first

25
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:18.480
<v Speaker 2>time to help rebuild healthcare in that trouble company. And

26
00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:21.000
<v Speaker 2>actually we'll be talking with the Boston Club sports reporter

27
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:25.280
<v Speaker 2>Chris Price about the firing of girod Mail. But first, first,

28
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:28.680
<v Speaker 2>delighted to welcome the mom of a marine as I

29
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:32.560
<v Speaker 2>understand that, Maureen Burne. She has started a program or

30
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:34.959
<v Speaker 2>she and others have started a program called Miles for

31
00:01:35.040 --> 00:01:39.319
<v Speaker 2>the Military, bringing dozens of active duty marines home for

32
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:42.519
<v Speaker 2>the holidays. Maureen burn Welcome to Nightside.

33
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:46.000
<v Speaker 3>How are you great, Dan, Thanks for having me.

34
00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:51.000
<v Speaker 2>You're very welcome. Well, first of all, Miles for Military.

35
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:59.879
<v Speaker 2>How long has this this great idea been operational?

36
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:04.599
<v Speaker 3>Thank you you're well. We're a new nonprofit. We started

37
00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.840
<v Speaker 3>up last year sending some kids home for the holidays,

38
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:15.199
<v Speaker 3>and this year we sent about fifty military marines, naves, sailors,

39
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:17.199
<v Speaker 3>soldiers home for the holidays.

40
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:22.599
<v Speaker 2>So this is across this is across all branches. The

41
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:27.120
<v Speaker 2>beneficiaries here are oh yes, a military person. Okay, fine, I.

42
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:29.759
<v Speaker 3>Know a junior and listen, yep.

43
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:35.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right from one to four to one to spect four.

44
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Your son served the Marines or is he still serving?

45
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:41.280
<v Speaker 2>What's what's he's a.

46
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:43.840
<v Speaker 3>Veteran now his name is Ronan. Yes, he and his

47
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:47.520
<v Speaker 3>best friend Danny, they both served together. And the Marine's

48
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:50.240
<v Speaker 3>done in Camp June. Well, they spent some time also

49
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:55.479
<v Speaker 3>in Okinawa as well. But yeah, but.

50
00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:02.080
<v Speaker 2>They now are veterans. And I assume that the finance

51
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:07.240
<v Speaker 2>you burden that, you know, I have lower rank members

52
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:09.599
<v Speaker 2>of the military. I have to get home for a

53
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:13.280
<v Speaker 2>holiday or a birthday, assuming they're lucky enough to get

54
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:16.759
<v Speaker 2>a three day pass or a four day pass. Uh,

55
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:20.280
<v Speaker 2>and it makes it worthwhile. Uh they're not earning all

56
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 2>that amount of money.

57
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:22.800
<v Speaker 3>Uh so they're not.

58
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, yeah, I'm familiar with that, very familiar

59
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:27.879
<v Speaker 2>with that.

60
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:29.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

61
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:34.879
<v Speaker 2>So was that what prompted the idea? And you you absolutely.

62
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:38.599
<v Speaker 3>That's exactly what happened. It was one Thanksgiving and I

63
00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:43.000
<v Speaker 3>flew my son home and the ticket was astronomical to

64
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.520
<v Speaker 3>come from North Carolina to Boston, and I said, no,

65
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:48.560
<v Speaker 3>and how do the other kids get home like this

66
00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:52.520
<v Speaker 3>is crazy. He said, Mom, nobody goes home. Nobody goes home.

67
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:56.560
<v Speaker 3>I said, why not, and he said, I thought they're

68
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:57.319
<v Speaker 3>going for Christmas.

69
00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:58.159
<v Speaker 2>Hang on the name.

70
00:03:58.199 --> 00:03:59.599
<v Speaker 3>He said, no, Mom, nobody goes home.

71
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:00.759
<v Speaker 4>I can't afford it.

72
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.080
<v Speaker 3>He's like a lot of kids, they actually send money

73
00:04:03.080 --> 00:04:07.280
<v Speaker 3>home to their parents. And I really kind of really

74
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:07.919
<v Speaker 3>broke my heart.

75
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Back in when I was in the military, a lot

76
00:04:14.039 --> 00:04:17.399
<v Speaker 2>of the airlines allowed you to fly stand.

77
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:17.480
<v Speaker 4>By for.

78
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:19.680
<v Speaker 3>More.

79
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:22.079
<v Speaker 2>So that's been taken away.

80
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:26.000
<v Speaker 3>Huh wow, you know I don't. Somebody said that to

81
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:31.399
<v Speaker 3>me a couple weeks ago. I had never heard of that,

82
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:35.879
<v Speaker 3>and I've been on every website of every airline thinking

83
00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:38.240
<v Speaker 3>this can't be my I'm the only one who came

84
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:40.959
<v Speaker 3>up with this idea, and I've never seen it, so

85
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:42.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't think that's me.

86
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:45.720
<v Speaker 2>This This was back in the nineteen seventies, so it's

87
00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:51.040
<v Speaker 2>a long time ago. And I think after the airlines

88
00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:57.560
<v Speaker 2>basically were allowed to function, there were often seats available,

89
00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:01.040
<v Speaker 2>but obviously they tried to fly full. Now so normally

90
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.439
<v Speaker 2>they're asking people to surrender their their seats and paying

91
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:08.560
<v Speaker 2>them to surrender the seats. So you've gotten so far

92
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:13.519
<v Speaker 2>about fifty members of the military. Through your great work

93
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:16.920
<v Speaker 2>and your use great work, you have been able to

94
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:18.720
<v Speaker 2>get about fifty folks home.

95
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:21.959
<v Speaker 5>So first of all, Christmas.

96
00:05:22.040 --> 00:05:27.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, how do we spread the word? Okay, really word

97
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.680
<v Speaker 3>of mouth from the Marines. I went down to Campbell

98
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:32.959
<v Speaker 3>Joon area last year when we decided to have our

99
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:37.360
<v Speaker 3>first pilot, and since I knew the area it was,

100
00:05:37.439 --> 00:05:40.879
<v Speaker 3>it was easy to choose there and I just sort

101
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:48.040
<v Speaker 3>of asked the whole bunch of nonprofit organizers to come

102
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.480
<v Speaker 3>to this little house I rented. They didn't know me,

103
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:52.839
<v Speaker 3>I didn't know them. They all showed up, every single

104
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:57.439
<v Speaker 3>one of them, and we had dinner, We talked, and

105
00:05:57.480 --> 00:06:02.959
<v Speaker 3>then I invited the other woman who works on the

106
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:07.319
<v Speaker 3>marine base and she let her, you know, the E

107
00:06:07.480 --> 00:06:10.519
<v Speaker 3>one three four that she knew in her area, know

108
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:14.519
<v Speaker 3>about it our little pilot, and it just took off.

109
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:16.600
<v Speaker 3>We had about two hundred signed up within like a

110
00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:20.040
<v Speaker 3>couple of days. And the struggle was it was late

111
00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:24.600
<v Speaker 3>in the season, so getting their their volunteer work done

112
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:25.560
<v Speaker 3>was okay.

113
00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:31.399
<v Speaker 2>So you got fifty, You've got transportation for fifty pretty

114
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:34.399
<v Speaker 2>much out of Camp June, I assume, but maybe some

115
00:06:34.480 --> 00:06:35.759
<v Speaker 2>others heard about.

116
00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:36.199
<v Speaker 4>It last year.

117
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:39.160
<v Speaker 3>Yep, last year. Well there's new river as well. It's

118
00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:39.720
<v Speaker 3>right there.

119
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:44.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so now how can people support the program? What's

120
00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:47.959
<v Speaker 2>your website? Yes, I assume, Yeah, this is the most

121
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:51.079
<v Speaker 2>important part. How people could send you a few dollars?

122
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:53.639
<v Speaker 2>Are you a five O one C three at this

123
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:54.759
<v Speaker 2>point or are you still?

124
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:57.360
<v Speaker 3>Yes? We are? We are registered. No, we are a

125
00:06:57.399 --> 00:07:00.600
<v Speaker 3>registered five to one C three. They can go to

126
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:04.759
<v Speaker 3>miles for military dot org perfect and.

127
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:09.279
<v Speaker 2>That dot org and then there's a donate button there

128
00:07:09.360 --> 00:07:15.079
<v Speaker 2>and people can get involved other than financial support, which

129
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:17.879
<v Speaker 2>is critical. Do you need volunteers for any of the

130
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:19.920
<v Speaker 2>paperwork or any anything like that?

131
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:24.879
<v Speaker 3>No, we don't. That's some kind of you to us.

132
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:29.199
<v Speaker 3>We have the generous help of a friend of mine

133
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:32.680
<v Speaker 3>his home office, and they're amazing. I mean it's not

134
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:35.360
<v Speaker 3>just me, it's there's a team of us. But as

135
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:37.439
<v Speaker 3>we grow, I might call you back later.

136
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:40.720
<v Speaker 2>Well yeah, you could call us back later three four,

137
00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:42.839
<v Speaker 2>five months from now, and we can do this again

138
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:47.279
<v Speaker 2>around Memorial Day for example, uh, the fourth of July.

139
00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:50.839
<v Speaker 2>I know that people, And again the fact that it's

140
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:54.439
<v Speaker 2>five oh one C three donations that people make if

141
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:59.160
<v Speaker 2>they itemize their charitable deductions. They can take that donation

142
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:03.839
<v Speaker 2>as a U and which is so Mareene. So it's

143
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:08.839
<v Speaker 2>it's again just Milesfromilitary dot org. Best way that people

144
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.680
<v Speaker 2>to get in touch? Now, I'm going to ask you this.

145
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:13.920
<v Speaker 2>There are some people who listen to the radio who

146
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.839
<v Speaker 2>still do not have a computer. So is there any

147
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:19.279
<v Speaker 2>way and please don't give out a personal phone number,

148
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:21.360
<v Speaker 2>but is there any other way in which people can

00:09:59.080 --> 00:10:03.960

<v Speaker 2>on WBZ, Boston's news radio. My name is Dan Ray.

184
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:14.000
<v Speaker 2>This is Nightside. Stay with us.

185
00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:17.519
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

186
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:22.240
<v Speaker 1>night Side Studios i' WBZ News Radio.

187
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Those of us who follow the news know that there

188
00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:28.200
<v Speaker 2>have been some big changes in Syria in the last

189
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:34.440
<v Speaker 2>few weeks, the Asad family no longer runs that country

190
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:39.799
<v Speaker 2>and with us is doctor Abdul Fatah el Shah. Remember

191
00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:44.120
<v Speaker 2>the Syrian American Medical Society, Doctor Elshar, Welcome to night side.

192
00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:44.879
<v Speaker 2>How are you tonight?

193
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.440
<v Speaker 5>I'm doing fine. Thank you very much for hosting me.

194
00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:52.120
<v Speaker 2>So first of all, tell us about the Syrian American

195
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:56.639
<v Speaker 2>Medical Society. I think the name does kind of explain

196
00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:58.440
<v Speaker 2>what it is, but I'd like to know a little

197
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:00.159
<v Speaker 2>bit about the group, and then let's talk about what

198
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:01.000
<v Speaker 2>your plans are.

199
00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:03.559
<v Speaker 5>All right, thank you, thank you.

200
00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:03.919
<v Speaker 4>Yes.

201
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:08.320
<v Speaker 5>The Syrian American Medical Society was established in nineteen ninety

202
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:14.320
<v Speaker 5>eight as a professional medical organization whereby Yian physician in

203
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:18.080
<v Speaker 5>the United States get together and arranged and stated, Okay,

204
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:20.840
<v Speaker 5>let's guys get to meet once a year, let's do

205
00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:25.039
<v Speaker 5>a conference in Syria. And the physician from all over

206
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:27.600
<v Speaker 5>the United States used to go to Syria once a

207
00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:32.720
<v Speaker 5>year and govide attend, organize a medical conference and do

208
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:36.440
<v Speaker 5>some medical relief and then come back to the state.

209
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:39.759
<v Speaker 5>So that's how it started. Then when the conflict erupted

210
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:45.639
<v Speaker 5>in Syria in twenty eleven, the American Medical Society activated

211
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:51.360
<v Speaker 5>the SAMs Foundation the American Medical Society Foundation and focusing

212
00:11:51.440 --> 00:11:56.200
<v Speaker 5>on a medical relief work. And since then this organization

213
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:59.919
<v Speaker 5>has been very active. We have now about the thousand

214
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:04.399
<v Speaker 5>member in the United States, mainly physician, we have pharmacists

215
00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:08.159
<v Speaker 5>and dentists, and we've been very fortunate to be able

216
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:11.080
<v Speaker 5>to help those in need in Syria and in the

217
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:15.639
<v Speaker 5>neighboring country. For example, last year this organization provided over

218
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:21.120
<v Speaker 5>three point five medical services to the northern part of Syria.

219
00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:26.559
<v Speaker 5>This organization supported forty seven medical facility in Syria. Last year,

220
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:32.720
<v Speaker 5>this organization supported provided the salaries for staff about two thousand,

221
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:36.759
<v Speaker 5>three hundred staff member inside Styria and then about two

222
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:40.200
<v Speaker 5>hundred and fifty staff member in the region neighboring country.

223
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:43.600
<v Speaker 5>We have an office in Jordan, in office in Lebanon,

224
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:47.720
<v Speaker 5>an office in Irbil, and headquarter in Turkey, and we

225
00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:51.639
<v Speaker 5>have an office in in Greece as well. And these

226
00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:56.600
<v Speaker 5>offices were established to provide support for the refugees who

227
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:00.240
<v Speaker 5>left Syria because of the unfortunate crisis the war they

228
00:13:00.279 --> 00:13:01.559
<v Speaker 5>faced the last fourteen years.

229
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:02.399
<v Speaker 6>This is just now.

230
00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:06.320
<v Speaker 2>Once the civil war started in twenty and eleven, was

231
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:09.679
<v Speaker 2>it more difficult? I assume it certainly was more dangerous

232
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.600
<v Speaker 2>to physically go into Syria, to go into Damascus or

233
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:17.080
<v Speaker 2>anywhere else. And so therefore, has your work been outside

234
00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:19.360
<v Speaker 2>on the periphery of the company country or are you

235
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:23.759
<v Speaker 2>still annually going there and holding a conference.

236
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:27.519
<v Speaker 5>Now since the war erupted, We were planning to go

237
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:32.200
<v Speaker 5>to in twenty eleven for our conference. The lost conference

238
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:35.399
<v Speaker 5>took a place in twenty ten, and then in twenty

239
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:38.039
<v Speaker 5>eleven we were planning to do a conference in Olimpo,

240
00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:41.200
<v Speaker 5>the second largest city, but then when the war erupted,

241
00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:44.440
<v Speaker 5>we end up doing the conference. Then since then we

242
00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:47.879
<v Speaker 5>start doing our conferences in a neighboring country. We've done

243
00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:50.399
<v Speaker 5>in a conference in Amman, We've done a number of

244
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:54.799
<v Speaker 5>them in Turkey, We've done a conference in Germany and Berlin.

245
00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:59.200
<v Speaker 5>We've done a conference in Suraevo in Bosnia as well.

246
00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:02.240
<v Speaker 5>So that's where we've been doing our annual conferences since

247
00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:04.919
<v Speaker 5>the word up. It has not been saying to go

248
00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:08.720
<v Speaker 5>ahead and do medical conferences. Now, what changes that?

249
00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:12.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's my that's my next question is obviously we

250
00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:16.440
<v Speaker 2>still really don't know. My understanding is that the fellow

251
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:20.120
<v Speaker 2>who is in charge of the group that forced Aside

252
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:24.399
<v Speaker 2>to leave or or made this aside to leave that

253
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:27.159
<v Speaker 2>he himself had been involved in ISIS for a while.

254
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:30.879
<v Speaker 2>And I assume that our intelligence agencies are still trying

255
00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:32.639
<v Speaker 2>to figure out whether we're going to be able to

256
00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:35.559
<v Speaker 2>deal with him. What are they telling you in terms

257
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:38.600
<v Speaker 2>of your ability to get back in on.

258
00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:44.399
<v Speaker 5>The ground, well, in terms of getting back underground. I

259
00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:50.720
<v Speaker 5>uh Syrian members, Syrian Committee members from the United States

260
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:54.080
<v Speaker 5>have been willing to have been traveling to Syria now

261
00:14:54.559 --> 00:15:00.679
<v Speaker 5>since the sad regime left the country. I was fortunate

262
00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:03.519
<v Speaker 5>to go there myself about two weeks ago. I went

263
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:06.399
<v Speaker 5>there for a short period of time and I'll have

264
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:08.759
<v Speaker 5>to tell you it was the best strep for me

265
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:14.360
<v Speaker 5>going back home. I was happy to see people so happy.

266
00:15:15.039 --> 00:15:18.200
<v Speaker 5>They've never been as happy as this time, having the

267
00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:21.559
<v Speaker 5>regime that controlled the country for over fifty years, the

268
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:25.240
<v Speaker 5>family and the war they've struggled with over the last

269
00:15:25.279 --> 00:15:30.120
<v Speaker 5>fourteen years. What the Syrian community Syria has daised the

270
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:34.080
<v Speaker 5>last fourteen years was the worst humanitarian crisis since World

271
00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:37.960
<v Speaker 5>War Two. So there's nothing has been witness in this

272
00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:43.320
<v Speaker 5>on the globe and as tragic since World War Two.

273
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:46.759
<v Speaker 5>What happened to the Syrian people Unfortunately, the Syrian people

274
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:53.080
<v Speaker 5>were tragically suffered and killed by their own regime. Over

275
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:57.240
<v Speaker 5>half of the population were displaced, about six point seven

276
00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:01.720
<v Speaker 5>million displays internally, about six point eight displace have to

277
00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:05.360
<v Speaker 5>leave their countries. Over half a million people die. So

278
00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:09.759
<v Speaker 5>you cannot really imagine, I mean, the tragic situation that

279
00:16:09.799 --> 00:16:15.000
<v Speaker 5>the people have to go through, the mental impact on

280
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:20.279
<v Speaker 5>the Syrian community, it's a huge Every family, every Syrian

281
00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:24.120
<v Speaker 5>family has been affected by this crisis. So to see

282
00:16:24.120 --> 00:16:26.919
<v Speaker 5>the regime leading the country and to see the changes

283
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:29.480
<v Speaker 5>that took the place to presency, this is a big

284
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:31.759
<v Speaker 5>relief for Syria and for the region.

285
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:35.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, when you talk about six or seven million

286
00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:39.000
<v Speaker 2>people leaving, six or seven people, six or seven million

287
00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:42.600
<v Speaker 2>people being displaced internally, half a million people being killed.

288
00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:46.519
<v Speaker 2>How of Syria is a big country physically, but how

289
00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:50.080
<v Speaker 2>big is the population there? Just to put it into

290
00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:51.679
<v Speaker 2>some context.

291
00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:55.879
<v Speaker 5>The population about twenty four million, so they talk.

292
00:16:55.720 --> 00:17:01.039
<v Speaker 2>About half the country was either displaced in turn or

293
00:17:01.159 --> 00:17:06.279
<v Speaker 2>left the country. This is a huge humanitarian crisis. How

294
00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:11.119
<v Speaker 2>optimistic are you that the mere departure of a sade

295
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:18.279
<v Speaker 2>is going to open the windows of a better life

296
00:17:18.440 --> 00:17:21.440
<v Speaker 2>for this country in the next fifty years.

297
00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:26.680
<v Speaker 5>I am very optimistic. The Syrian community is very optimistic

298
00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:31.720
<v Speaker 5>that we are starting a new chapter in Syria, a

299
00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:38.640
<v Speaker 5>chapter of peace, a chapter of prosperity and well being,

300
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:42.680
<v Speaker 5>and chapter of respect. Syrian community has suffered so much

301
00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:47.039
<v Speaker 5>the last fifty years, but worsely the last fourteen years.

302
00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:49.720
<v Speaker 5>As we've mentioned with the numbers that you repeat it

303
00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:52.720
<v Speaker 5>as well when you go and look at this. Steria

304
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:55.359
<v Speaker 5>was faced by the war, Steria was faced with the

305
00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:58.640
<v Speaker 5>COVID and then Syria was faced with the earthquake that

306
00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:04.000
<v Speaker 5>hit of twenty three. So you don't find any country

307
00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:06.680
<v Speaker 5>on the planet that had to deal with the war

308
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:09.480
<v Speaker 5>for fourteen years, had to deal with the COVID pandemic,

309
00:18:09.559 --> 00:18:12.680
<v Speaker 5>and had to deal with an earthquake or about two

310
00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:16.559
<v Speaker 5>years ago. So this is this is it's very difficult

311
00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:19.599
<v Speaker 5>really to describe. So it's to see the regime leaving

312
00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:23.279
<v Speaker 5>the country, to see this is the best thing that

313
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:27.920
<v Speaker 5>happened to Syria. I mean when I been there to

314
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:31.160
<v Speaker 5>see my family and to see everyone so happy, never

315
00:18:31.240 --> 00:18:34.720
<v Speaker 5>been happy as this time. To see a regime that

316
00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:39.319
<v Speaker 5>was really just killing his own people, was making their

317
00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:42.720
<v Speaker 5>children suffer. I mean, imagine fourteen years what happened to

318
00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:46.240
<v Speaker 5>the children in terms of their education. People living intent,

319
00:18:46.839 --> 00:18:50.319
<v Speaker 5>people living intent weather in Lebanon, living intent weather in

320
00:18:50.359 --> 00:18:53.279
<v Speaker 5>the northern part of Syria. Until today there are people

321
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:56.880
<v Speaker 5>live intent and those people are hopeful that they will

322
00:18:56.920 --> 00:18:58.720
<v Speaker 5>be able to go back to their home. And a

323
00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:01.680
<v Speaker 5>lot of people just you know, their homes are destroyed,

324
00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:04.519
<v Speaker 5>but they will be really willing to go and rebuild

325
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:07.799
<v Speaker 5>their homes because you know, this surgeam is not there anymore.

326
00:19:08.519 --> 00:19:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, we wish you the best of luck, you courageous

327

00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:51.400
<v Speaker 2>news at the bottom of the hour.

357
00:20:53.279 --> 00:21:00.559
<v Speaker 1>Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's news radio, We're.

358
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:05.519
<v Speaker 2>Going to talk about food and sleep technology with us

359
00:21:05.599 --> 00:21:09.640
<v Speaker 2>is doctor Patrick Porter. Doctor Porter, we got about eight

360
00:21:09.759 --> 00:21:11.640
<v Speaker 2>or nine minutes here, but I think we got a

361
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:13.200
<v Speaker 2>lot of things to cover.

362
00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:16.359
<v Speaker 4>How are you, tonite, I'm doing well. Thanks for having me.

363
00:21:16.519 --> 00:21:17.400
<v Speaker 4>It's great to be here.

364
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:21.119
<v Speaker 2>You're the founder of a group of an organization called

365
00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:26.079
<v Speaker 2>brain Tap, the leader in technology enhanced meditation, and you

366
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:30.960
<v Speaker 2>pioneer the use of brainwave entertainment to improve clarity, sleep,

367
00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:33.400
<v Speaker 2>and energy. You got to explain that one to me,

368
00:21:33.480 --> 00:21:34.559
<v Speaker 2>doctor garretta Heead.

369
00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:38.200
<v Speaker 4>Okay, Well, what we know is that the every cell

370
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:40.880
<v Speaker 4>of your body is interacting with its environment, and we

371
00:21:40.880 --> 00:21:44.359
<v Speaker 4>can use light, sound, and vibration in a headset and

372
00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:47.799
<v Speaker 4>we can change brain waves. The reason that's important is

373
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:50.480
<v Speaker 4>that when you're stressed out, you don't have a full

374
00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:54.839
<v Speaker 4>spectrum brainwave, so your body doesn't create the natural mood

375
00:21:54.880 --> 00:22:01.079
<v Speaker 4>altering neurotransmitters you need. And also redo is stress hormones.

376
00:22:01.279 --> 00:22:03.720
<v Speaker 4>So we started off doing it for pain control, but

377
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:06.519
<v Speaker 4>now we use it for everything from learning disabilities to

378
00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:10.319
<v Speaker 4>helping people with dementia, to you know, mind over menopause,

379
00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:12.720
<v Speaker 4>to sports. You know, Tom Brady uses it within this

380
00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:15.079
<v Speaker 4>group called tbr X, which.

381
00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:17.880
<v Speaker 2>Is let me ask you this, do you do you

382
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:21.240
<v Speaker 2>think this guy Brady will be successful in football?

383
00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:24.480
<v Speaker 4>Well, you've been successful.

384
00:22:24.519 --> 00:22:28.359
<v Speaker 2>Holy joking with you, doctor, this is bosted. I'm only joking.

385
00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:31.039
<v Speaker 6>With you, all right.

386
00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:33.359
<v Speaker 2>You got it all right, Okay, you're quick on that.

387
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:38.640
<v Speaker 2>That's okay. Look, so how is this accessible to people

388
00:22:38.880 --> 00:22:40.920
<v Speaker 2>even who aren't Tom Brady?

389
00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:43.960
<v Speaker 4>Go ahead, right, Well, you can go to brain tap

390
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:45.880
<v Speaker 4>dot com and get some free tips, and there's free

391
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:48.680
<v Speaker 4>things on my YouTube channel to help your brain. But

392
00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:51.440
<v Speaker 4>you can learn about it. It's an app first of all,

393
00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:53.599
<v Speaker 4>so you can download it and try it. It's a

394
00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:56.039
<v Speaker 4>it's a free app. So the number one thing it

395
00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:58.599
<v Speaker 4>does is help you sleep. When you're talking about sleep technology,

396
00:22:58.720 --> 00:23:01.480
<v Speaker 4>we need to downregulate them nervous system so that the

397
00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:03.640
<v Speaker 4>stress and anxiety is trying to think of it as

398
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:05.400
<v Speaker 4>washing it out before you go to bed, so you

399
00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:08.000
<v Speaker 4>can your brain can be free to move into that

400
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:10.319
<v Speaker 4>rest and relaxation state and recover.

401
00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:15.359
<v Speaker 2>Now you were not a medical doctor, but you're a

402
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Are you a psychologist? As I understand it helped me

403
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:18.519
<v Speaker 2>out here.

404
00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:21.119
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I'm a psychologist. Yeah, I'm a psychologist. But my

405
00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:25.319
<v Speaker 4>undergraduates and electronics. So I've always looked at technology, but

406
00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:27.039
<v Speaker 4>we didn't have technology like we have today when I

407
00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:29.680
<v Speaker 4>went to school in the eighties. But I admitted to

408
00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:32.640
<v Speaker 4>technology in eighty six and been evolving it ever since then.

409
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:34.839
<v Speaker 4>And now just seems to be a time when more

410
00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:36.880
<v Speaker 4>people need it than ever because of the stress you're

411
00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:37.279
<v Speaker 4>all under.

412
00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:39.400
<v Speaker 2>You went to school in the eighties, when I went

413
00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:41.640
<v Speaker 2>to the school. When I went to school in the seventies,

414
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:44.240
<v Speaker 2>they were developing this concept. It was a device called

415
00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:49.039
<v Speaker 2>an avocus. So I'm a little bit behind you as well.

416
00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:53.559
<v Speaker 2>So the app is simply brain Tap br ai n

417
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:55.240
<v Speaker 2>capital tap.

418
00:23:56.160 --> 00:24:01.119
<v Speaker 4>Yep, yep. And they say the Brain Fitness Company when

419
00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:02.720
<v Speaker 4>they do the app because some people are you know,

420
00:24:03.640 --> 00:24:06.039
<v Speaker 4>because we're pretty big out there. We have one hundred

421
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:09.400
<v Speaker 4>and twenty thousand users, so people will use our name

422
00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:10.200
<v Speaker 4>to market, you know.

423
00:24:11.880 --> 00:24:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so they should therefore seek what brain you said,

424
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:19.160
<v Speaker 2>brain fitness companies that I thought you.

425
00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:20.559
<v Speaker 4>Brain tap the Brain Fitness Company.

426
00:24:20.759 --> 00:24:25.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, fine, okay, great, okay. No, we want to

427
00:24:25.119 --> 00:24:27.119
<v Speaker 2>make sure people get to the get to the right

428
00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:31.359
<v Speaker 2>place now. In addition, I see a note here that

429
00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:36.119
<v Speaker 2>there are eight foods that we can add to our

430
00:24:36.279 --> 00:24:41.880
<v Speaker 2>diet in twenty twenty five for more happiness. Is that connected?

431
00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:45.359
<v Speaker 2>Is that part of what you advise people to do.

432
00:24:46.599 --> 00:24:49.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? Actually, I've written several books, and one of the

433
00:24:49.680 --> 00:24:51.799
<v Speaker 4>things I say is the phase one for brain fitness

434
00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:54.559
<v Speaker 4>is your nutrition because you cannot think a bad diet.

435
00:24:54.640 --> 00:24:57.240
<v Speaker 4>So there's foods you can change that can change your mood.

436
00:24:57.400 --> 00:24:58.519
<v Speaker 4>And that's what we're talking about.

437
00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:01.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well, one of the things I want to go

438
00:25:01.079 --> 00:25:07.799
<v Speaker 2>through these eight because I actually dark chocolate. I incorporate

439
00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:10.799
<v Speaker 2>dark chocolate into my diet to be really honest with you.

440
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:18.640
<v Speaker 2>And bananas, I'm a big banana guy. Coconut is number three. Uh,

441
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:21.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm not so much coconut, But tell us what coconut

442
00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:22.200
<v Speaker 2>does for you.

443
00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:27.079
<v Speaker 4>Well, coconut is they say, it's a short change. Trigothrite

444
00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:30.160
<v Speaker 4>means it's a fatty acid. And our brain is made

445
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:32.519
<v Speaker 4>up mostly of water and fat. But it needs the

446
00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:35.599
<v Speaker 4>me It needs a Mega trees, not a Mega sixes

447
00:25:35.640 --> 00:25:38.279
<v Speaker 4>and nines as much. So it's really good for your

448
00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:40.480
<v Speaker 4>brain and it'll give you quick energy and you can

449
00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:43.440
<v Speaker 4>cook with it. It's it's a lot more healthy than some

450
00:25:43.559 --> 00:25:45.559
<v Speaker 4>of the passionized oils that are out there.

451
00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:49.519
<v Speaker 2>So there, so there is a coconut cooking oil is Well,

452
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:50.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm not a cook.

453
00:25:50.359 --> 00:25:53.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's really what they're talking about here. There They

454
00:25:54.039 --> 00:25:56.599
<v Speaker 4>when because not a lot of people can eat coconuts,

455
00:25:56.640 --> 00:25:59.160
<v Speaker 4>you know, they're they're not in season all the time,

456
00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:00.839
<v Speaker 4>but you can go to any grocery store and get

457
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:04.319
<v Speaker 4>coconut oil and just start substituting that. In fact, people

458
00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:08.079
<v Speaker 4>like it so much they use it instead of butter sometimes. Yeah, okay,

459
00:26:08.079 --> 00:26:09.680
<v Speaker 4>it has a special taste to it.

460
00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:12.880
<v Speaker 2>I got to tell you something what I learned a

461
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:15.480
<v Speaker 2>long time ago, and I sort of have a compendium

462
00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:18.160
<v Speaker 2>of useless information in my head because of what I do.

463
00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:21.559
<v Speaker 2>I learned a long time ago, believe it or not,

464
00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:26.240
<v Speaker 2>that there are more people killed every year around the

465
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:31.559
<v Speaker 2>world by coconuts than by shark attacks. Have you ever

466
00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:34.200
<v Speaker 2>heard that statistic? It's true. It was done out of

467
00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:36.720
<v Speaker 2>a study in Montreal about ten years ago, which is

468
00:26:36.839 --> 00:26:40.039
<v Speaker 2>extraordinary when you think about it, because we're.

469
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:47.839
<v Speaker 4>All, yeah, yeah, when you know, they're pretty high up

470
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:49.119
<v Speaker 4>there in the tree, so I guess if they come

471
00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:51.440
<v Speaker 4>down on your head, you're gonna And usually when like

472
00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:53.160
<v Speaker 4>when I go to India or to one of the

473
00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:55.640
<v Speaker 4>Asian countries and there you get the coconuts right off

474
00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:57.000
<v Speaker 4>the tree and they give you a straw and you

475
00:26:57.039 --> 00:27:00.279
<v Speaker 4>get to drink the coconut us. It's really deliciou just

476
00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:02.240
<v Speaker 4>and they're standing right under the tree so I could

477
00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:04.400
<v Speaker 4>see that maybe they would get clobbered or something.

478
00:27:04.559 --> 00:27:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so let me I want to hit these other

479
00:27:07.319 --> 00:27:09.319
<v Speaker 2>I took you down a little bit of a side

480
00:27:09.319 --> 00:27:11.119
<v Speaker 2>path there, But that's a true story. Is you can

481
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:13.039
<v Speaker 2>check it out. It was a study out of Montreal

482
00:27:13.559 --> 00:27:18.519
<v Speaker 2>back about ten years ago. Anyway. The fourth item is coffee,

483
00:27:18.559 --> 00:27:21.759
<v Speaker 2>and I'm a big coffee guy, which is great. H

484
00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:24.640
<v Speaker 2>So you know, for so many years people were terrified

485
00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:28.480
<v Speaker 2>of drinking a lot of coffee. Coffee's great. Avocado. I'm

486
00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:31.519
<v Speaker 2>not big on avocado, but my daughter is and she

487
00:27:31.640 --> 00:27:34.559
<v Speaker 2>swears by it. And Tom Brady swears by avocado, by

488
00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:34.759
<v Speaker 2>the way.

489
00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:37.400
<v Speaker 4>That's right, that's right. Yeah, So we've got a couple

490
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:40.839
<v Speaker 4>of things that yet. Avocados have two things that we

491
00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:44.119
<v Speaker 4>need in abundance. One is fat, healthy fats for the brain.

492
00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:47.400
<v Speaker 4>But it also has fiber, and fiber will absorb two

493
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:51.400
<v Speaker 4>hundred times its weight in toxins. So if you're eating

494
00:27:51.440 --> 00:27:53.799
<v Speaker 4>a lot of other foods or you're stressed out, you're

495
00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:56.440
<v Speaker 4>creating toxins in the bloodstream, and you want to have

496
00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:59.039
<v Speaker 4>a way to clear those out. So avocado's becomes a

497
00:27:59.160 --> 00:28:00.920
<v Speaker 4>very healthy way to do that. And you can add

498
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:02.640
<v Speaker 4>it to salads or you can eat it raw even

499
00:28:03.039 --> 00:28:05.759
<v Speaker 4>you know, and it's going to have It actually aids

500
00:28:05.759 --> 00:28:08.400
<v Speaker 4>in your nervous system function and mood regulation. They've they've

501
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:10.960
<v Speaker 4>had studies that prove that, and it improves blood flow

502
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:13.599
<v Speaker 4>to the brain most of all for those people that

503
00:28:13.720 --> 00:28:16.480
<v Speaker 4>need a boost in their cognitive function. It's a really

504
00:28:16.480 --> 00:28:18.400
<v Speaker 4>good way to do that. And you know, if you

505
00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:20.200
<v Speaker 4>had a half of half of it for lunch and

506
00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:23.039
<v Speaker 4>a half for dinner, I mean, you see magic happen

507
00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:25.440
<v Speaker 4>in your brain. And I always recommend that when we're

508
00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:28.880
<v Speaker 4>working with somebody with dementia because it's an easy way

509
00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:30.640
<v Speaker 4>to get their their essential fats.

510
00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:33.839
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's great. And then there's three more items. One

511
00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:38.559
<v Speaker 2>that's great berries. I assume that includes blueberries, strawberries, raspberries.

512
00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:40.960
<v Speaker 2>That's what we're talking about there, I assume, right.

513
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:45.440
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yes, And there these are. Besides, the banana has

514
00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:49.680
<v Speaker 4>a lot of fast acting you know, sugar. You know

515
00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:51.359
<v Speaker 4>a lot of people will leave it for energy, but

516
00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:56.200
<v Speaker 4>the berries will give you sustained energy. Especially the strawberries

517
00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:59.480
<v Speaker 4>and raspberries and things like that. They're gonna they're really

518
00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:01.359
<v Speaker 4>good for your body and they're good for your brain.

519
00:29:01.359 --> 00:29:04.279
<v Speaker 4>Because they give you slow acting sugar. The more sugar,

520
00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:06.680
<v Speaker 4>that's what alcohol does. You know you're drinking sugar. The

521
00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:09.079
<v Speaker 4>buzz is really from the sugar overload to the brain,

522
00:29:09.799 --> 00:29:11.839
<v Speaker 4>and so we want to reduce.

523
00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:18.839
<v Speaker 2>That, okay. And then there's two more fermented foods sour kraut, kimchi,

524
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:23.519
<v Speaker 2>which I know is a Gilian food, keyfer yogurt. All

525
00:29:23.559 --> 00:29:28.720
<v Speaker 2>good all good things create prot biotics, I guess correct.

526
00:29:28.720 --> 00:29:31.759
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Well, what happens. Most people don't realize that serotonin

527
00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:35.079
<v Speaker 4>ninety percent of it is made in your gut. So

528
00:29:35.319 --> 00:29:36.880
<v Speaker 4>you need foods that are going to do it. If

529
00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:38.960
<v Speaker 4>you're going to feed the good bacteria, which we need.

530
00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:41.720
<v Speaker 4>There's a gut brain access and if your guts out

531
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:43.920
<v Speaker 4>of whack because you're eating a lot of foods that

532
00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:46.480
<v Speaker 4>are high in lectins, like a lot of the bad

533
00:29:46.559 --> 00:29:50.039
<v Speaker 4>grains and gluten and things like that, the kimchi and

534
00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:52.440
<v Speaker 4>yogurt and sour crawt will help to buffer that and

535
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:55.519
<v Speaker 4>get your get you more normalized there.

536
00:29:56.759 --> 00:30:01.599
<v Speaker 2>And then last but not least, mushrooms and these legal mushrooms.

537
00:30:01.079 --> 00:30:04.720
<v Speaker 4>Right, that's right. Yeah, So when you think about mushrooms,

538
00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:07.920
<v Speaker 4>they do the same thing. They're actually a modulator for serotonin,

539
00:30:08.480 --> 00:30:11.880
<v Speaker 4>and think of serotonin as the happy hormone that in

540
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:14.680
<v Speaker 4>the neuro transmitters that work with it. They help you

541
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:16.759
<v Speaker 4>to feel good. But we need a way to modulate them.

542
00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:19.200
<v Speaker 4>So it's not just increasing them, but how do we

543
00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:21.839
<v Speaker 4>get the body to actually use them. And that's what

544
00:30:21.960 --> 00:30:24.920
<v Speaker 4>mushrooms do. They have a they have the ability of

545
00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:27.680
<v Speaker 4>the capacity to do that, which is exceptionally good for

546
00:30:27.759 --> 00:30:28.200
<v Speaker 4>the body.

547
00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:32.880
<v Speaker 2>Sounds great, doctor Porter. I really enjoyed the conversation. Let's

548
00:30:32.920 --> 00:30:35.440
<v Speaker 2>go back to the way in which people can can

549
00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:39.839
<v Speaker 2>get in touch with a brain tap. It's going to

550
00:30:39.920 --> 00:30:44.279
<v Speaker 2>say brain tap as an app, but the brain Fitness

551
00:30:44.319 --> 00:30:46.559
<v Speaker 2>company is that? Is that the am I corrected?

552
00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:49.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, if they want to learn more about it, they

553
00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:51.440
<v Speaker 4>go to brain tap dot com and then there's links there,

554
00:30:51.559 --> 00:30:54.640
<v Speaker 4>or they can check out Dr Patrick border dot com.

555
00:30:54.680 --> 00:30:57.519
<v Speaker 4>I have a lot of free advice on there and

556
00:30:57.640 --> 00:30:59.599
<v Speaker 4>things they can start doing at home tonight if they

557
00:30:59.599 --> 00:30:59.920
<v Speaker 4>wanted to.

558
00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:03.599
<v Speaker 2>Sounds great, You know again, thank you for what you do.

559
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:08.279
<v Speaker 2>You're obviously a compendium of valuable information. I sort of

560
00:31:08.319 --> 00:31:12.880
<v Speaker 2>am a companion of useless information. But I really appreciate

561
00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:15.279
<v Speaker 2>the time you gave us tonight, and I'd love to

562
00:31:15.319 --> 00:31:17.119
<v Speaker 2>have you back at some point periodically.

563
00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:19.079
<v Speaker 4>Sure, I'd love to do that.

564
00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:20.640
<v Speaker 6>Love to be very much.

565
00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:23.519
<v Speaker 2>And again, as they say, I like to keep these

566
00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:26.720
<v Speaker 2>these conversations a little light hearted. And that's why I

567
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:29.240
<v Speaker 2>kid a little bit. So please don't don't be offended

568
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:31.480
<v Speaker 2>if I try to run and sneak a joke by

569
00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:32.039
<v Speaker 2>your here or there.

570
00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:35.960
<v Speaker 4>Okay, that's fine. The morning shows do a lot better

571
00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:38.440
<v Speaker 4>job at being funny, but that's all right. I mean,

572
00:31:39.640 --> 00:31:42.359
<v Speaker 4>even on the phone, they're just just telling jokes among themselves.

573
00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:44.079
<v Speaker 4>So it's nice to be on the evening where we

574
00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:45.400
<v Speaker 4>actually get to have a conversation.

575
00:31:46.599 --> 00:31:50.640
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, we'll do it again, Doctor Patrick Porter a brain

576
00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:55.759
<v Speaker 2>tap the Brain Fitness Company. Thanks again. When we get back,

577
00:31:56.119 --> 00:31:59.079
<v Speaker 2>we're going to talk with Christopher Price or the Boston

578
00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:03.880
<v Speaker 2>Globe about drawed males dismissal for the Patriots, and we're

579
00:32:03.880 --> 00:32:06.160
<v Speaker 2>going to talk about that next hour. Give you a

580
00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:08.839
<v Speaker 2>chance to weigh in on it. From beginning after the

581
00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:10.880
<v Speaker 2>nine o'clock news back on Nightside right after this.

582
00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:14.799
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan ray Line from the Window World

583
00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:18.039
<v Speaker 1>Nightside Studios on w b Z News Radio.

584
00:32:19.680 --> 00:32:24.640
<v Speaker 2>We yesterday, as everyone knows, the Patriots finished a disappointed

585
00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:29.039
<v Speaker 2>year in an upnoe beating the super Bowl bound Buffalo Bills.

586
00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:32.079
<v Speaker 2>Much of the consternation of everybody in Jollette Stadium with

587
00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:36.519
<v Speaker 2>us is Christopher Price. Chris Price, longtime Boston Globe sports

588
00:32:36.599 --> 00:32:39.839
<v Speaker 2>reporter Christopher Price. Welcome to Nightside. How are you, my friend?

589
00:32:40.720 --> 00:32:43.279
<v Speaker 6>I'm doing well, Dan. Is there something that you know

590
00:32:43.359 --> 00:32:46.240
<v Speaker 6>that I don't know? The super Bowl bound Buffalo Bills.

591
00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I think they're going to super Bowl? What do

592
00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:49.440
<v Speaker 2>you think you don't like them? To go on?

593
00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:52.279
<v Speaker 6>I love it, I love it. I look, Dan, I

594
00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:57.240
<v Speaker 6>have a well known affinity for the Bills over the years.

595
00:32:57.400 --> 00:32:59.160
<v Speaker 6>Every time I've gone up there to cover a game,

596
00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:02.640
<v Speaker 6>it's all. He's exciting. The fan base is tremendous, and

597
00:33:02.640 --> 00:33:05.160
<v Speaker 6>they love their football. They certainly deserve a winner. So

598
00:33:05.240 --> 00:33:08.160
<v Speaker 6>if it's gonna happen any year, this this this year

599
00:33:08.200 --> 00:33:09.359
<v Speaker 6>looks like a good year to do it.

600
00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think so. But obviously we're going to talk

601
00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:14.640
<v Speaker 2>about you, Rod Mail. I think he kind of got

602
00:33:14.839 --> 00:33:18.480
<v Speaker 2>the short end of the stick yesterday. I know I'm

603
00:33:18.519 --> 00:33:21.799
<v Speaker 2>in the definite minority here. I've interviewed Mayo on a

604
00:33:21.880 --> 00:33:24.680
<v Speaker 2>totally different topic about five or six years ago and

605
00:33:24.799 --> 00:33:27.599
<v Speaker 2>found would be a really nice guy. Nice guy, says

606
00:33:27.680 --> 00:33:31.160
<v Speaker 2>Leod Rocha said finished last. So I guess he and

607
00:33:31.240 --> 00:33:34.759
<v Speaker 2>Doug Peterson were the Were there any more victims of

608
00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Black Monday than than Peterson had done in jackson Jacksonville?

609
00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:42.839
<v Speaker 6>There were? Well, the thing was, there were a couple

610
00:33:42.839 --> 00:33:45.640
<v Speaker 6>of guys who were fired during the year that maybe

611
00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:48.319
<v Speaker 6>would have lasted, you know what, otherwise would have been

612
00:33:48.319 --> 00:33:51.240
<v Speaker 6>fired on Black Monday. And I'll say this too. Our

613
00:33:51.240 --> 00:33:53.640
<v Speaker 6>own Dan Shaughnessy kind of alluded to the same thing

614
00:33:53.759 --> 00:33:56.839
<v Speaker 6>the other day that that look nice guys, finished last.

615
00:33:56.920 --> 00:33:59.680
<v Speaker 6>This is a this is a hard league. It is

616
00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:03.240
<v Speaker 6>a foot called league, and it can be a very

617
00:34:03.279 --> 00:34:06.680
<v Speaker 6>cold place sometimes when you do not win. And four

618
00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:10.760
<v Speaker 6>wins over the course of the seventeen one season is

619
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:13.920
<v Speaker 6>not a real formula for success. I think there were

620
00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:15.239
<v Speaker 6>some ways he was kind of set up to I

621
00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:16.679
<v Speaker 6>don't want to see he was set up to fail. That's

622
00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:20.039
<v Speaker 6>maybe too harsh a turn. But look, they suffered a

623
00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:24.719
<v Speaker 6>number of injuries this year. The offensive line was underperformed

624
00:34:25.280 --> 00:34:28.440
<v Speaker 6>for much of, if not the entire season. They were

625
00:34:28.480 --> 00:34:31.519
<v Speaker 6>shuffling guys in and out. The record, you'll be interested

626
00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:33.880
<v Speaker 6>to know this one. Dan. The record for most dating

627
00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:36.119
<v Speaker 6>back to nineteen ninety nine. The most offensive line the

628
00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:39.320
<v Speaker 6>starting offensive linemen in a season was held by the

629
00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:42.719
<v Speaker 6>twenty twenty two Los Angeles Rams at fourteen. The Patriots

630
00:34:42.719 --> 00:34:46.119
<v Speaker 6>had twelve this year, which is an extraordinary total. And

631
00:34:46.239 --> 00:34:49.320
<v Speaker 6>with that sort of instability up front in a rookie

632
00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:53.079
<v Speaker 6>quarterback under center, that's not a recipe for success. So

633
00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:55.039
<v Speaker 6>I do think there is something to the idea that

634
00:34:55.079 --> 00:34:57.519
<v Speaker 6>he may have gotten a radio. But also the flip

635
00:34:57.559 --> 00:35:00.320
<v Speaker 6>side is some of his decision making over the the

636
00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:03.159
<v Speaker 6>year I think to me proved that he maybe was

637
00:35:03.199 --> 00:35:04.440
<v Speaker 6>not quite ready for prime time.

638
00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:07.440
<v Speaker 2>As they say, no, I hear you, I hear you.

639
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:10.280
<v Speaker 2>I think there was one offensive lineman yesterday. I think

640
00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:13.719
<v Speaker 2>he had three penalties number seventy.

641
00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:17.320
<v Speaker 6>And I mean, yeah, King Wallace, a rookie out of

642
00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:20.440
<v Speaker 6>Penn State. It was not his finest hour. So yeah,

643
00:35:20.480 --> 00:35:22.480
<v Speaker 6>I mean they had They had two rookies along the

644
00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:24.480
<v Speaker 6>offensive line for a sizable portion of the year in

645
00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:27.360
<v Speaker 6>King Wallace and in Leyden Robinson as well.

646
00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:30.400
<v Speaker 2>So I mean it was they lost their center early

647
00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:31.159
<v Speaker 2>in the season.

648
00:35:32.199 --> 00:35:35.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah yeah, not just not just any center too. I

649
00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:39.719
<v Speaker 6>mean David Andrews is a foundational element of this franchise,

650
00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:41.840
<v Speaker 6>and to lose him so early in the season and

651
00:35:41.880 --> 00:35:45.519
<v Speaker 6>then kind of have to, you know, patch it all together,

652
00:35:45.679 --> 00:35:48.199
<v Speaker 6>I think made it very very challenging. Again for a

653
00:35:48.280 --> 00:35:50.519
<v Speaker 6>rookie quarterback back there, you want to do everything you

654
00:35:50.559 --> 00:35:52.960
<v Speaker 6>can do to set them up for success. And I

655
00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:55.559
<v Speaker 6>think Drake May played very well at times. I would

656
00:35:55.599 --> 00:35:57.679
<v Speaker 6>love to see what he can do behind a more

657
00:35:57.719 --> 00:35:59.519
<v Speaker 6>capable offensive line moving forward.

658
00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:04.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, David Andrews a good citizen and a great center.

659
00:36:04.679 --> 00:36:07.800
<v Speaker 2>I was stunned yesterday at how well Joe Milton play.

660
00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:10.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I have some friends who are a big

661
00:36:11.599 --> 00:36:14.280
<v Speaker 2>University of Tennessee people, and they told me last August

662
00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:15.679
<v Speaker 2>he's going to be great. He's going to be great.

663
00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:19.159
<v Speaker 2>Obviously he had to wait until January fifth to show

664
00:36:19.199 --> 00:36:21.840
<v Speaker 2>how great he was, but he looked like an NFL

665
00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:22.880
<v Speaker 2>quarterback yesterday.

666
00:36:23.559 --> 00:36:24.119
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Almost.

667
00:36:24.320 --> 00:36:26.679
<v Speaker 2>Obviously, Drake May is not going to be unseated by

668
00:36:26.760 --> 00:36:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Joe Milton with what just one game. But I wonder

669
00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:33.800
<v Speaker 2>if we have a potential quarterback controversy brewing in Jellette.

670
00:36:34.599 --> 00:36:37.239
<v Speaker 6>I don't know if there's a quarterback controversy, but I

671
00:36:37.320 --> 00:36:41.320
<v Speaker 6>will say this that there were questions about him coming

672
00:36:41.360 --> 00:36:44.239
<v Speaker 6>out of college. In his consistency. We would sit up

673
00:36:44.239 --> 00:36:46.320
<v Speaker 6>on the hill during training camp and you can watch

674
00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:49.039
<v Speaker 6>him throw, and you can watch him kind of perform.

675
00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:52.960
<v Speaker 6>And this was a young man who, to put it politely,

676
00:36:53.199 --> 00:36:58.159
<v Speaker 6>was a bit raw in his accuracy specifically, And for

677
00:36:58.280 --> 00:37:00.840
<v Speaker 6>him to come out yesterday and look, he was playing

678
00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:03.320
<v Speaker 6>against backup, second and third teamers. I'm fairly certain the

679
00:37:03.320 --> 00:37:05.159
<v Speaker 6>Bills were pulling people out of the stands by the

680
00:37:05.239 --> 00:37:09.280
<v Speaker 6>end of the game. But he completed his first eleven passes,

681
00:37:09.480 --> 00:37:12.480
<v Speaker 6>and he was able to move the football and he

682
00:37:12.519 --> 00:37:15.239
<v Speaker 6>was able to have success. So I think ultimately the

683
00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:18.840
<v Speaker 6>bottom line here is I think he proved himself to

684
00:37:18.920 --> 00:37:21.960
<v Speaker 6>be worthy backup to Drake May moving forward. And I

685
00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:24.280
<v Speaker 6>think that's all part of the conversation when you look

686
00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:27.760
<v Speaker 6>at this team in twenty twenty five and beyond, I have.

687
00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Never seen an NFL quarterback six foot five do a

688
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:31.679
<v Speaker 2>backflip like.

689
00:37:34.519 --> 00:37:35.880
<v Speaker 6>I have a quick story about it. I have a

690
00:37:35.960 --> 00:37:38.519
<v Speaker 6>quick story about Joe Milton, if you'll let me hear.

691
00:37:38.960 --> 00:37:42.039
<v Speaker 6>I did a story on him back in July because he,

692
00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:45.159
<v Speaker 6>for me, was the most intriguing prospect other than Drake

693
00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:48.480
<v Speaker 6>May obviously that they drafted, and I talked to his

694
00:37:48.519 --> 00:37:52.559
<v Speaker 6>personal quarterback coach, and his personal quarterback coach told me

695
00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:55.599
<v Speaker 6>that when he got out of his car, when Joe

696
00:37:55.679 --> 00:37:58.000
<v Speaker 6>Milton got out of his car and started walking toward him,

697
00:37:58.039 --> 00:38:01.119
<v Speaker 6>he was like nineteen years old, but he was already

698
00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:04.719
<v Speaker 6>like six five two twenty and his the guy in

699
00:38:04.760 --> 00:38:06.760
<v Speaker 6>his head says, this kind of looks like an action

700
00:38:06.880 --> 00:38:10.679
<v Speaker 6>figure for God's sake, So he is. He is a magnificent.

701
00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:13.920
<v Speaker 6>He has a tantalizing talent. He's very for what it's

702
00:38:13.920 --> 00:38:16.639
<v Speaker 6>worth too, he's very engaging, very conversational, very pleasant to

703
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:21.639
<v Speaker 6>talk to. And again, look, you know, you can't go

704
00:38:21.719 --> 00:38:24.159
<v Speaker 6>wrong when you have an arm that can throw the football,

705
00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:27.519
<v Speaker 6>you know, with eighty plus yards. So he's he came

706
00:38:27.559 --> 00:38:28.800
<v Speaker 6>together very nicely this year.

707
00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:32.159
<v Speaker 2>I'll say that, Well, it's very rare that you see,

708
00:38:32.679 --> 00:38:37.199
<v Speaker 2>whether they have backup corners and safeties or first string

709
00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:41.199
<v Speaker 2>corners and safeties who are NFL players to get beat

710
00:38:41.280 --> 00:38:43.480
<v Speaker 2>on that forty eight yard touchdown. I mean, his guy

711
00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:49.000
<v Speaker 2>was fifteen yards behind the nearest defender. Normally that's the

712
00:38:49.039 --> 00:38:53.559
<v Speaker 2>sort of pass that the Patriots would drop. But told it, Yeah,

713
00:38:53.599 --> 00:38:55.920
<v Speaker 2>he looked around, said, and there's no one between me

714
00:38:55.960 --> 00:38:57.000
<v Speaker 2>and the goal line. Let's go.

715
00:38:58.039 --> 00:39:01.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, we turned out day and that was the second

716
00:39:01.239 --> 00:39:05.159
<v Speaker 6>longest pass play the Patriots had this season, which gives

717
00:39:05.159 --> 00:39:08.199
<v Speaker 6>you some sort of the idea of the maybe the

718
00:39:08.239 --> 00:39:12.000
<v Speaker 6>offensive instability that they had. Look again, he's never I

719
00:39:12.239 --> 00:39:15.000
<v Speaker 6>don't think he's ever going to unsee Drake May. But

720
00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:19.119
<v Speaker 6>in a sad and sorrowful season, he provided a little

721
00:39:19.119 --> 00:39:20.280
<v Speaker 6>bit of hope moving forward.

722
00:39:21.519 --> 00:39:24.280
<v Speaker 2>Well, I mean if if, if they ever wanted to

723
00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:30.480
<v Speaker 2>use him. Obviously, his performance yesterday cost them the number

724
00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:34.159
<v Speaker 2>one pick, which, in the in the best of all

725
00:39:34.239 --> 00:39:38.400
<v Speaker 2>possible worlds, could have gotten them some some pretty good linemen,

726
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:41.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, in a in a package deal to some

727
00:39:41.039 --> 00:39:43.880
<v Speaker 2>team that needed a quarterback. Do you think that Patriots

728
00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:46.159
<v Speaker 2>would ever turn around and say, hey, to some team,

729
00:39:46.159 --> 00:39:48.519
<v Speaker 2>would you like mister Milton and maybe give us a

730
00:39:48.519 --> 00:39:52.599
<v Speaker 2>few more few more offensive linemen or something. Does he

731
00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:54.199
<v Speaker 2>become trade material at this point?

732
00:39:54.639 --> 00:39:57.079
<v Speaker 6>You know what I'll say, I think if he has

733
00:39:57.119 --> 00:39:59.599
<v Speaker 6>a good preseason next year, and that's going to be

734
00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:02.519
<v Speaker 6>the next time where he's really going to get significant snaps,

735
00:40:03.239 --> 00:40:06.039
<v Speaker 6>I think you could start to have a conversation with

736
00:40:06.079 --> 00:40:09.079
<v Speaker 6>some other teams about using him as a potential backup

737
00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:12.360
<v Speaker 6>moving forward. I think a lot of it depends specific

738
00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:14.679
<v Speaker 6>to the offensive line, how they're going to go about

739
00:40:14.760 --> 00:40:17.159
<v Speaker 6>fixing it, what they might do in free agency. There

740
00:40:17.159 --> 00:40:18.760
<v Speaker 6>are a couple of really interesting names out there in

741
00:40:18.760 --> 00:40:20.880
<v Speaker 6>free agency. And also, look, with the fourth overall pick,

742
00:40:21.480 --> 00:40:23.719
<v Speaker 6>you're still in line to get the best offensive lineman.

743
00:40:23.760 --> 00:40:25.280
<v Speaker 6>I think they might trade down a little bit. But

744
00:40:25.320 --> 00:40:27.719
<v Speaker 6>I'll give you three names, three names for people to

745
00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:31.480
<v Speaker 6>look for. Actually, I'll say a couple of mararity eliminated.

746
00:40:31.519 --> 00:40:34.519
<v Speaker 6>But there's the left tackle from Texas. Kelvin Banks Junior

747
00:40:35.159 --> 00:40:38.280
<v Speaker 6>is one of the best offensive linemen in the draft

748
00:40:38.280 --> 00:40:40.880
<v Speaker 6>this year. Is a bona fide top ten pick. The

749
00:40:40.880 --> 00:40:44.239
<v Speaker 6>Patriots could be evolving him now, let's use Will Campbell

750
00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:47.159
<v Speaker 6>is the other one, and then the third one is

751
00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:51.920
<v Speaker 6>Josh Counterly from Oregon. Those are three names that Patriots

752
00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:54.880
<v Speaker 6>fans should keep in mind when you're talking about this

753
00:40:55.360 --> 00:40:58.519
<v Speaker 6>year's draft specific to the tackle position. Those three guys

754
00:40:58.559 --> 00:41:01.840
<v Speaker 6>are all probably first round. I would have to imagine

755
00:41:01.840 --> 00:41:03.920
<v Speaker 6>the New England is going to keep its eye on

756
00:41:04.079 --> 00:41:06.119
<v Speaker 6>all three of those guys as the pre draft process

757
00:41:06.159 --> 00:41:06.960
<v Speaker 6>really gets underway.

758
00:41:07.360 --> 00:41:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Sounds great. Chris Price really enjoyed it. I'd love to

759
00:41:10.480 --> 00:41:12.880
<v Speaker 2>have you back. Thank you so much. I love talking sports.

760
00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Normally we don't talk sports here on Night Side, but

761
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:18.239
<v Speaker 2>well we will be talking sports next hour and see

762
00:41:18.239 --> 00:41:20.199
<v Speaker 2>what the fans have to say. Thanks so much, my friend.

763
00:41:20.360 --> 00:41:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate it.

764
00:41:21.199 --> 00:41:23.880
<v Speaker 6>I love it. Take care. We'll talk soon, Dan, talk soon.

765
00:41:23.920 --> 00:41:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, good night. Weaking back. We are going to talk

766
00:41:27.039 --> 00:41:31.119
<v Speaker 2>about what happened to Gerrod Mao. I got a soft

767
00:41:31.119 --> 00:41:32.519
<v Speaker 2>spot on my heart. I think the guy's a real

768
00:41:32.559 --> 00:41:34.679
<v Speaker 2>decent guy. I think was putting a tough spot. We'll

769
00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:37.119
<v Speaker 2>hear from Bob Kraft and we'll hear from you six

770
00:41:37.199 --> 00:41:42.079
<v Speaker 2>one seven four thirty six seven nine talking football right

771
00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:42.800
<v Speaker 2>after the break.
