00:00:01.159 --> 00:00:06.400
<v Speaker 1>It's Nightside, Dan Ray. I'm DOINGBSY Boston's Radio.

2
00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Three for three in the stock market today. That's okay,

3
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:14.199
<v Speaker 2>better than losing. And in terms of Pete Rose, the

4
00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:15.919
<v Speaker 2>one thing you have to say about Pete Rose is

5
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:19.079
<v Speaker 2>they cannot take the all time hit record away from him.

6
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:22.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't think there'll be any other Major League Baseball

7
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:25.920
<v Speaker 2>player who will ever equal or exceed that record. That's

8
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:32.840
<v Speaker 2>it's an astonishing record, over four thousand hits. Anyway, all right,

9
00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:38.439
<v Speaker 2>p rest in peace, Pete Rose. Now, my name's Dan Ray.

10
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:41.799
<v Speaker 2>I am still the host of Nightside. Rob Brooks is

11
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:45.679
<v Speaker 2>still the producer back in the broadcast central, and we

12
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.439
<v Speaker 2>are starting another week of Nightside. I will take you

13
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:50.320
<v Speaker 2>all the way, I promise you, if you stick, if

14
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:52.840
<v Speaker 2>you don't turn your radio off tonight, I will get

15
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:56.439
<v Speaker 2>you just to the cusp of October, which will mean

16
00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:04.079
<v Speaker 2>that the year is seventy five percent over. Where does

17
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:07.519
<v Speaker 2>the time go? I don't know. It's amazing. It is

18
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:11.760
<v Speaker 2>just amazing how time seems to fly. Time waits for

19
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:14.640
<v Speaker 2>no one. There's no doubt we have some interesting topics

20
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:16.760
<v Speaker 2>to talk about tonight. I'm going to talk about Boston's

21
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:20.480
<v Speaker 2>budget woes. Going to talk about the opening of cannabis

22
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:25.439
<v Speaker 2>cafes in California. You have a cannabis cafe in Boston

23
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:28.799
<v Speaker 2>or Massachusetts soon. I suspect we really will. I'm not

24
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:31.519
<v Speaker 2>necessarily thrilled at that prospect, by the way, but we'll

25
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:34.159
<v Speaker 2>leave that for a conversation at ten o'clock. And then

26
00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:41.319
<v Speaker 2>very close election. But in my opinion, my opinion, looking

27
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:43.319
<v Speaker 2>at a poll that I saw today, I will explain

28
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:47.040
<v Speaker 2>why very thorough looking at the internals of the poll

29
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:50.079
<v Speaker 2>at the election we're hell today. Say hello to President

30
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:53.040
<v Speaker 2>Harris in my opinion. We'll talk about that at eleven,

31
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:55.400
<v Speaker 2>But we have four guests we'd like to talk about.

32
00:01:55.439 --> 00:02:00.879
<v Speaker 2>We're going to start off with Salvation Army Captain Jeremy maccaby.

33
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:05.280
<v Speaker 2>He's the incident commander for the Salvation Army response in

34
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Florida and he is in Perry, Florida tonight. Captain maccaby,

35
00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:13.280
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to Night's side. How are you, sir, Dan.

36
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:15.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing great. I hope you're doing all right this evening.

37
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, we're all doing better probably than a lot of

38
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:20.199
<v Speaker 2>the people who you're dealing with. Tell us what it's

39
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.479
<v Speaker 2>like on the ground there. I'm not exactly sure where Perry, Florida,

40
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:26.319
<v Speaker 2>Florida is. Is it up in the area of what

41
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:29.800
<v Speaker 2>they call the bend that really got hit by this

42
00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 2>storm the.

43
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:33.960
<v Speaker 3>Hardest, exactly, Dan, That's exactly where we're at. We're really

44
00:02:34.039 --> 00:02:36.680
<v Speaker 3>right in that kind of bend where Florida comes up

45
00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:40.800
<v Speaker 3>into the Panhandle. And unfortunately, Dan, this is about the

46
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:44.680
<v Speaker 3>third storm in thirteen months that these communities have had

47
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:48.520
<v Speaker 3>to deal with, and to say that this place is

48
00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:52.919
<v Speaker 3>devastated would be just an absolute understatement, and in more

49
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:56.319
<v Speaker 3>than one way unfortunately. I mean yes, physically and that's

50
00:02:56.840 --> 00:03:02.000
<v Speaker 3>that's difficult, but emotionally and spiritually it's it's really has

51
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:06.080
<v Speaker 3>taken its toll UH on this community. But what's what's

52
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.520
<v Speaker 3>so ingreat, what's so incredible through the difficult part of this,

53
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:13.680
<v Speaker 3>If there's any silver lining, what's so encouraging to see Uh?

54
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.439
<v Speaker 3>Even as a Salvation Army responder here UH is? Yes,

55
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:21.039
<v Speaker 3>Uh Helene is a storm, but it's more a test

56
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:24.599
<v Speaker 3>on humanity. And every storm I've ever been on, and

57
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:28.800
<v Speaker 3>I've served on many storm one thing remains the same,

58
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:33.840
<v Speaker 3>and it's people will come together, regardless of their backgrounds.

59
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:38.199
<v Speaker 3>People come together to help one another. Out to encourage

60
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.280
<v Speaker 3>one another. Uh. And and and that certainly is the

61
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:45.159
<v Speaker 3>case here uh in in Florida, that uh, that we're

62
00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:48.000
<v Speaker 3>dealing with the people who have just again been devastated

63
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:48.680
<v Speaker 3>by this storm.

64
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:52.919
<v Speaker 2>Now, my understanding is that you have Salvation Army personnel

65
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:56.479
<v Speaker 2>from the greater Boston area, the Lynn team, the New

66
00:03:56.520 --> 00:04:00.199
<v Speaker 2>Bedford team, the newbury Point team. Uh and this an

67
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:00.919
<v Speaker 2>appall team.

68
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:01.319
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

69
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:05.319
<v Speaker 2>They're all in Florida, except the Boston Lynn team is

70
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:09.800
<v Speaker 2>in Georgia. Yeah. How first of all, how many folks

71
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:13.360
<v Speaker 2>do you have on the ground from Massachusetts? And how

72
00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:16.920
<v Speaker 2>difficult was it even to get close to where the

73
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:18.160
<v Speaker 2>devastation is?

74
00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:22.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it is. That is a that's a huge task

75
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:26.439
<v Speaker 3>for a stand I mean obviously, Uh, with the more

76
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:29.399
<v Speaker 3>inland you go, certainly you you you have some devastation,

77
00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:33.759
<v Speaker 3>a lot of power outages. Uh, certainly some trees down,

78
00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:37.920
<v Speaker 3>and some difficulty. But obviously as you move closer into

79
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:42.279
<v Speaker 3>the coast, it gets to a point where uh it's impassable.

80
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:45.399
<v Speaker 3>And and what we're finding out, uh, and what we're

81
00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:47.279
<v Speaker 3>going to find out over the next several days, are

82
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:50.079
<v Speaker 3>there there are communities, There are these little pockets if

83
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:54.000
<v Speaker 3>you will, that people are still trying to get to

84
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:56.759
<v Speaker 3>uh in the Salvation Army is hard at work with

85
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.879
<v Speaker 3>our community partners UH to to try to get to

86
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:03.279
<v Speaker 3>those people to meet those needs. So what we're finding

87
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:07.439
<v Speaker 3>is some of those roads and some of those avenues

88
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:11.920
<v Speaker 3>are getting open, uh slowly but consistently so that we

89
00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:14.519
<v Speaker 3>can meet the need of those people in the community.

90
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:18.639
<v Speaker 3>But the devastation, again near the coast, is so difficult

91
00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:22.800
<v Speaker 3>to respond to. But again, the Savage Army is hard

92
00:05:22.800 --> 00:05:26.160
<v Speaker 3>at work. And yes, getting people down from your area

93
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:31.680
<v Speaker 3>is incredibly helpful and they just are eager to serve

94
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:35.319
<v Speaker 3>and the people in Flora On Florida, the Floridians are

95
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:38.040
<v Speaker 3>just here with their arms wide open, ready to receive

96
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:40.680
<v Speaker 3>and gracious for the help that they are giving.

97
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:44.000
<v Speaker 2>So you folks are all from Massachusetts who are down there.

98
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.480
<v Speaker 2>So when you say your area, you meet our area.

99
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:47.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

100
00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:51.399
<v Speaker 3>Well yeah, well we're down right. Yeah. I'm from Lakeland, Florida.

101
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:56.079
<v Speaker 3>So the Savage Army will will deploy. Uh, It's all okay.

102
00:05:57.160 --> 00:05:59.439
<v Speaker 2>So do you do you know how many Salvation Army

103
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:01.959
<v Speaker 2>members from Massachusetts. I have the names of some. I'm

104
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:05.079
<v Speaker 2>not sure if there's a larger group from Massachusetts than

105
00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:05.839
<v Speaker 2>is represented.

106
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:11.199
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sure the I know there are things Massachusetts, but.

107
00:06:11.279 --> 00:06:14.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure the precise number is fine. And I

108
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:18.079
<v Speaker 2>also I assumed you were from Massachusetts, so I apologize

109
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:18.680
<v Speaker 2>for that.

110
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:21.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, no, no worry, no worries. Well, that's the thing

111
00:06:21.199 --> 00:06:23.160
<v Speaker 3>about this Batist and Army is we're all one big,

112
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:25.839
<v Speaker 3>happy family, and and we do encourage one another. And

113
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:32.240
<v Speaker 3>certainly the Floridians have participated in in uh uh the conversations.

114
00:06:33.040 --> 00:06:36.759
<v Speaker 2>You know, if you know, Jeremy, how are the folks

115
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:40.439
<v Speaker 2>from Massachusetts. We're a Boston radio station. Yeah, correct, right

116
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:43.160
<v Speaker 2>over the country. How are the folks from Massachusetts doing?

117
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:45.480
<v Speaker 2>Your folks from mass have you? Have you met any

118
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:46.040
<v Speaker 2>of them yet?

119
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:49.759
<v Speaker 3>Yes? I have. They are doing well, they we One

120
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:51.399
<v Speaker 3>of the first things we want to make sure is

121
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:54.800
<v Speaker 3>that those folks get settled, that they understand their role,

122
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:57.519
<v Speaker 3>the capacity in which they are being asked to serve

123
00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.560
<v Speaker 3>in uh. And some of that is physical labor, and

124
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:03.360
<v Speaker 3>some of that is what we call emotional and spiritual care.

125
00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:07.759
<v Speaker 3>To come alongside people who are in a difficult situation.

126
00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:10.560
<v Speaker 2>It's devastating. I mean, I've seen the pictures. I've seen

127
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:14.959
<v Speaker 2>the pictures in Georgia's seen the pictures in North Carolina

128
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:17.480
<v Speaker 2>and some of the remote areas that we're now beginning

129
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:19.920
<v Speaker 2>to see the amount of the devastation and people who

130
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:25.279
<v Speaker 2>literally lost everything everything, And yeah, again, you folks truly

131
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:28.480
<v Speaker 2>are doing God's work. We appreciate the Salvation Army. What

132
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:30.800
<v Speaker 2>can people do who are listening tonight, who would like

133
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:32.759
<v Speaker 2>to help you? I assume the best thing is a.

134
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:37.639
<v Speaker 3>Donation, Yeah, absolutely, And that's what's great about the Salvation

135
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:42.360
<v Speaker 3>Army is Yes, obviously a monetary gift is always helpful,

136
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:46.240
<v Speaker 3>but if that's not possible, you know, a case of

137
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:48.360
<v Speaker 3>what we're going to do the most good with whatever

138
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:54.000
<v Speaker 3>is forwarded to us. Anything that people can do certainly

139
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:59.959
<v Speaker 3>is helpful for the Salvation Army and whatever that may be.

140
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:03.120
<v Speaker 3>But we are always looking for donations so that we

141
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:05.160
<v Speaker 3>can help those people in need.

142
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:08.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, and so the as I understand, if they want

143

159
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:13.360
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully we've spread the word for you a little bit

160
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:15.000
<v Speaker 2>and there'll be some more help on the way from

161
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:16.440
<v Speaker 2>some of my listeners.

162
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:19.240
<v Speaker 3>Dan, thank you so much. And just one more avenue,

163

<v Speaker 3>it's help Salvation Army dot org. Help Salvation Army dot org.

164
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:27.679
<v Speaker 3>That's another way that they can give online if they

165
00:09:27.720 --> 00:09:32.000
<v Speaker 3>search you. Dan. Yeah, yeah, thank you so much. Dan,

166
00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:34.440
<v Speaker 3>I really appreciate the opportunity you welcome.

167
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Jeremy, thank you very much. When we get back, we're

168
00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:40.799
<v Speaker 2>going to talk about fall foliage with a state specialist

169
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:45.600
<v Speaker 2>in forestry, a professor of natural resources up at the

170
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:49.360
<v Speaker 2>University of New Hampshire. This is a I think it's

171
00:09:49.360 --> 00:09:51.360
<v Speaker 2>going to be interesting because you want to get up

172
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:54.320
<v Speaker 2>to New Hampshire and when the foliage is peak, and

173
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:57.399
<v Speaker 2>we'll get some I got a lot of questions, believe me.

174
00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:00.480
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk with Professor Robers. I hope I pronounce his name.

175
00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:03.879
<v Speaker 2>Stephen Roberge will figure that pronunciation out right after this.

176
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:07.799
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Ray Mine from the Window World

177
00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:11.039
<v Speaker 1>night Side Studios on w b Z, the news radio.

178
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:15.279
<v Speaker 2>I want to welcome Professor Stephen Roberge. He's a professor

179
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:19.440
<v Speaker 2>of Natural Resources at the University of New Hampshire, Hoping Durham.

180
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:22.080
<v Speaker 2>I iso, professor, how are you tonight? Oh?

181
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:23.519
<v Speaker 5>Well, how good to be here.

182
00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:24.240
<v Speaker 4>Thanks.

183
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:27.000
<v Speaker 2>How's everything in Durham tonight? I hope it's nice up

184
00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:28.759
<v Speaker 2>there as we end the month of September.

185
00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:31.120
<v Speaker 5>Oh, beautiful, beautiful September night.

186
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:31.519
<v Speaker 4>Indeed.

187
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:32.559
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

188
00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:37.039
<v Speaker 2>Now you are also a State Specialist in forestry, forestry

189
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:42.720
<v Speaker 2>for the University's extension program, so we're about deer enter

190
00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:48.120
<v Speaker 2>the fall foliage season. I think most people understand why

191
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:51.679
<v Speaker 2>leaves turn color. But for those who don't, let's have it,

192
00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:52.960
<v Speaker 2>why the leaves turn color?

193
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:53.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

194
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:57.720
<v Speaker 5>Sure, So you know what we're seeing with fall foliage,

195
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:01.320
<v Speaker 5>is it really the trees shutting now for the season.

196
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:04.960
<v Speaker 5>And so most of our broad leaf trees deciduous are

197
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:08.720
<v Speaker 5>hardwood as are sometimes called, are trees that will grow

198
00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:12.960
<v Speaker 5>leaves in the spring, do their work, produce sugars and

199
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:16.320
<v Speaker 5>store up all the all those carbohydrates that they have

200
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:19.000
<v Speaker 5>and grow during the growing season, and then in the

201
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:22.240
<v Speaker 5>fall they shed those leaves in a way just to

202
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:24.919
<v Speaker 5>get rid of them and in a strategy not to

203
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:28.559
<v Speaker 5>store or try to preserve or actually hold on to

204
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:34.240
<v Speaker 5>those those structures throughout the winter. And so when the

205
00:11:34.279 --> 00:11:36.879
<v Speaker 5>longer nights come and the cooler temperatures come to New

206
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:40.720
<v Speaker 5>England and the northeast, that triggers the trees to essentially

207
00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:43.879
<v Speaker 5>stop producing chlorophyll, which is that green pigment that we

208
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:47.720
<v Speaker 5>see out there in the summer time. And chlorophylls slowly

209
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:51.600
<v Speaker 5>is produced less and less, and then all of a

210
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:55.879
<v Speaker 5>sudden not at all, and behind that chlorophyll masks underneath

211
00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:58.840
<v Speaker 5>that chlorophyll are some of the fall pigments that we

212
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:03.039
<v Speaker 5>see that are in the leaf throughout the whole growing season,

213
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.519
<v Speaker 5>but they're just covered up by that chlorophyll, so we

214
00:12:05.600 --> 00:12:09.039
<v Speaker 5>see that changing of color. It's really the changing of

215
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:12.399
<v Speaker 5>chlorophyll production that we're seeing in the unveiling of those

216
00:12:12.440 --> 00:12:13.720
<v Speaker 5>other pigments.

217
00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:16.799
<v Speaker 2>That the colors, brilliant colors, the reds, the oranges, and

218
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:19.639
<v Speaker 2>all of those brilliant colors that we see in the fall,

219
00:12:20.000 --> 00:12:23.080
<v Speaker 2>they've been there since maybe May or June, but it's

220
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:25.960
<v Speaker 2>the chlorophylls covered them up definitely.

221
00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:28.840
<v Speaker 5>Part yeah, for the most part. So when we think

222
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:34.440
<v Speaker 5>of the yellows, oranges, and browns of fall, those are

223
00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:36.759
<v Speaker 5>made by carotenoids, and those are those are the same

224
00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:40.360
<v Speaker 5>pigments that we'd find in carrots or corn and daffodils,

225
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:44.240
<v Speaker 5>for example. Carotenoids are always there, They're always in the leaf,

226
00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:46.360
<v Speaker 5>and again they're being covered up. When we think about

227
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:50.320
<v Speaker 5>those really brilliant oranges or really brilliant reds, or even

228
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:53.799
<v Speaker 5>purples we see purples and fall sometimes too, those are

229
00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:58.480
<v Speaker 5>those are anthocyanins, which are actually produced during the fall season,

230
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.600
<v Speaker 5>and it's these really bright sunny days and then cool

231
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:05.679
<v Speaker 5>fall nights that actually produces that anti cyan and pigment

232
00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:09.039
<v Speaker 5>that that rears its head in the in the fall season.

233
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:12.080
<v Speaker 5>So in some cases the pigments are always there. Uh,

234
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:15.200
<v Speaker 5>in some cases the weather during the fall season produces

235
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:15.759
<v Speaker 5>that pigment.

236
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:18.799
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so half and half. So of course, all of

237
00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:21.960
<v Speaker 2>us who watched the local weather forecasts, all of us

238
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:25.919
<v Speaker 2>know that the foliage has already started to reach peak

239
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:29.000
<v Speaker 2>up in northern New England. I assume that it's probably

240
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:32.919
<v Speaker 2>past peak in southern Canada. Or does Cannon have its

241
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:34.200
<v Speaker 2>own deal going on up there?

242
00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:34.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

243
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:36.960
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I tried. I tried to pay attention across the border.

244
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:42.039
<v Speaker 5>But but yeah, certainly Canada. Yeah, the past peak. When

245
00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:44.639
<v Speaker 5>I think of kind of peak in northern New England,

246
00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:47.480
<v Speaker 5>it's yeah, I would say it's the end of It

247
00:13:47.519 --> 00:13:49.519
<v Speaker 5>would be like the last week September into the first

248
00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:50.320
<v Speaker 5>week of October.

249
00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:53.879
<v Speaker 2>Well, it makes sense because those crazy Canadians they celebrate

250
00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Thanksgiving in October.

251
00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:58.159
<v Speaker 5>There was there always one step ahead of us, I

252
00:13:58.159 --> 00:13:59.240
<v Speaker 5>guess a DC.

253
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:02.320
<v Speaker 2>To be anyway. So now the question, of course, the

254
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:05.480
<v Speaker 2>ultimate question, and I hesitate to ask this of a

255
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:10.559
<v Speaker 2>un age professor, but who has better fall foliage? The

256
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:13.919
<v Speaker 2>great state of New Hampshire, which I love by the way,

257
00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:18.200
<v Speaker 2>I love New Hampshire or Massachusetts where a lot of

258
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:23.200
<v Speaker 2>my audience lives, and so is there a substantial difference

259
00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:25.480
<v Speaker 2>other than that, I mean our advantages we have the

260
00:14:25.519 --> 00:14:28.480
<v Speaker 2>foliage later in the year, I guess as it moves south.

261
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:29.840
<v Speaker 5>But is there any.

262
00:14:29.639 --> 00:14:33.080
<v Speaker 2>Difference in the brilliance of the leaves in New Hampshire

263
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:35.279
<v Speaker 2>leaves versus Massachusetts leaves.

264
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:38.519
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you know, I'm contractually obligated to say New Hampshire is.

265
00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Better, but no, Christina will be really upset about both

266
00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:45.240
<v Speaker 2>you and to be go ahead.

267
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:48.840
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but the reality of the foliage season is that

268
00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:53.120
<v Speaker 5>it's probably a two month long season, regardless of what

269
00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:55.759
<v Speaker 5>state you're in. If you're in Connecutt or northern Maine,

270
00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:59.480
<v Speaker 5>that can last, you know, four to eight weeks in length.

271
00:14:59.639 --> 00:15:03.720
<v Speaker 5>And it really begins with the red maples in the

272
00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:07.080
<v Speaker 5>swamps or low lying areas that tend to turn red

273
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:10.840
<v Speaker 5>in August, and I know in central New Hampshire we'll

274
00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:14.080
<v Speaker 5>see that that color coming early to mid August, and

275
00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:17.879
<v Speaker 5>then we have the foliage developing throughout from then on

276
00:15:17.960 --> 00:15:21.200
<v Speaker 5>and then into late October, some of the oak species

277
00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:24.279
<v Speaker 5>will start to turn that brilliant russet or even bright

278
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:26.679
<v Speaker 5>yellow color, and in some cases some of these oaks

279
00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:29.399
<v Speaker 5>will go into a purple type of color and as well,

280
00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:32.039
<v Speaker 5>so you get from mid August to late October where

281
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:34.399
<v Speaker 5>there's some sort of brilliant folio that's happening. And that's

282
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:36.320
<v Speaker 5>kind of a neat thing about foliage season is it

283
00:15:36.360 --> 00:15:39.600
<v Speaker 5>doesn't happen, you know, all in one day. There's no

284
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:42.440
<v Speaker 5>such thing as like one peak day. It really depends

285
00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:44.679
<v Speaker 5>upon where you are, the type of forest that you're

286
00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:48.279
<v Speaker 5>looking at, and in what the weather has been. And

287
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:50.200
<v Speaker 5>the cool thing about in Hampshire is that we start

288
00:15:50.200 --> 00:15:52.039
<v Speaker 5>at the sea coast and go all way up to

289
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:54.720
<v Speaker 5>Mount Washington or the tree line just above the peak

290
00:15:54.720 --> 00:15:59.000
<v Speaker 5>of Mount Washington, and that foliage will turn at different

291
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:03.200
<v Speaker 5>times of the the season. And in between the sea

292
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:06.600
<v Speaker 5>coast and the White Mountains are a mosaic of forest

293
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:09.399
<v Speaker 5>types that exist too. Those forest types all react and

294
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:13.000
<v Speaker 5>displayed differently throughout the season as well. The same thing

295
00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:15.679
<v Speaker 5>goes with Massachusetts, and I would kind of think about

296
00:16:15.799 --> 00:16:18.200
<v Speaker 5>going from say the Boston area over to the Berkshires,

297
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:23.120
<v Speaker 5>so kind of cruising up I ninety across by ninety

298
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:26.879
<v Speaker 5>where you would actually, you know, see different forest types,

299
00:16:26.919 --> 00:16:29.840
<v Speaker 5>you get, you're in different elevations, and with that is

300
00:16:29.879 --> 00:16:32.440
<v Speaker 5>going to be different foliage experiences as well.

301
00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:35.360
<v Speaker 2>So okay, let me ask you this is this is

302
00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:38.799
<v Speaker 2>not a loaded question, but it's an obvious question. Are

303
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:43.399
<v Speaker 2>the you know, the old days Many of us would say, oh,

304
00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:47.480
<v Speaker 2>when the snowstorms were when I was a kid, the

305
00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:50.600
<v Speaker 2>snowstorms are like six feet high because they when you

306
00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:52.440
<v Speaker 2>were a kid, you're only about four feet high. So

307
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:58.159
<v Speaker 2>it only looks has foliage, either the timing or the

308
00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:02.200
<v Speaker 2>brilliance of the foliage changed over the last few years.

309
00:17:02.200 --> 00:17:03.960
<v Speaker 2>We hear a lot of talk about climate change and

310
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:08.720
<v Speaker 2>whether you're climate change person or I don't hope no

311
00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:11.200
<v Speaker 2>one's a denial but someone who's skeptical and maybe still

312
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:13.960
<v Speaker 2>trying to figure it out. Has that been a factor?

313
00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:16.039
<v Speaker 2>Is there any evidence that we can look at and say, hey,

314
00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:19.799
<v Speaker 2>these trees are turning brilliant colors earlier or later? Are

315
00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:22.119
<v Speaker 2>they pretty much on nature's timetable?

316
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:26.039
<v Speaker 5>It's yeah, it's tough to tell. A lot of a

317
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:29.559
<v Speaker 5>lot of foliage is dictated. Well, it's dictated by weather

318
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:32.480
<v Speaker 5>that's happened right at the season, and weather is so variable.

319
00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:35.519
<v Speaker 5>But obviously when we talk about climate, that's a collection

320
00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:38.880
<v Speaker 5>of historic weather over a very long time. But the

321
00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:42.079
<v Speaker 5>follies that we see today or like you know, during

322
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:44.960
<v Speaker 5>like this week, is the impact of the weather that's

323
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:48.680
<v Speaker 5>happening right now. And so so the weather can impact

324
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:52.319
<v Speaker 5>fall foliage in a couple of ways. One and the

325
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:56.079
<v Speaker 5>biggest driver is is the cold temperatures at night. And

326
00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:58.799
<v Speaker 5>so the cooler it is at night, the more brilliant

327
00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:01.440
<v Speaker 5>of reds and and those purples and oranges that we

328
00:18:01.480 --> 00:18:05.200
<v Speaker 5>can see. And that's that's the development of the mental

329
00:18:05.279 --> 00:18:08.880
<v Speaker 5>cyan and pigments that again are related to the weather conditions.

330
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:12.160
<v Speaker 5>So bright sunny days is just like today followed by

331
00:18:12.160 --> 00:18:15.000
<v Speaker 5>a nice, cool, crisp night, that's going to develop those

332
00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:17.759
<v Speaker 5>red colors pretty pretty quickly in that setting. So if

333
00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:21.440
<v Speaker 5>we have very warm nights stretch of weather that is

334
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:24.279
<v Speaker 5>you know, it's above sixty at night for a very

335
00:18:24.319 --> 00:18:27.319
<v Speaker 5>long time, you may not get that brilliant red developing

336
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:30.559
<v Speaker 5>across the landscape. That can happen this year, it can

337
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:34.319
<v Speaker 5>happen twenty years from now, probably happened twenty years ago,

338
00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:36.599
<v Speaker 5>and so those things, you know, that weather is very

339
00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:39.400
<v Speaker 5>variable in that setting kind of thing too. That puts

340
00:18:39.400 --> 00:18:43.400
<v Speaker 5>a huge role in the foliage experience too. Is just

341
00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:48.640
<v Speaker 5>is rain rain can you know, you know, we don't

342
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:51.440
<v Speaker 5>have the sun, it doesn't look as brilliant, But it

343
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:53.519
<v Speaker 5>also knocks the leaves off a lot earlier too, So

344
00:18:53.559 --> 00:18:57.160
<v Speaker 5>that can really reduce or contract the length of this season.

345
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:01.440
<v Speaker 5>The thing that we can't change and what really cues

346
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:05.240
<v Speaker 5>the fall foliage season is the length of the day.

347
00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:07.319
<v Speaker 5>And I'm sure if you remember, you know, two months

348
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:08.960
<v Speaker 5>from now when we're doing the show, at this time,

349
00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:11.480
<v Speaker 5>the sun, you know, the sun may be just setting.

350
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:18.200
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, if anybody didn't realize that, they're not paying attention.

351
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:21.160
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, right, exactly, so, and the trees, the trees certainly

352
00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:23.559
<v Speaker 5>do pay attention to that, and that that is one

353
00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:26.960
<v Speaker 5>of the first things that triggers uh fall foliage response

354
00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:30.160
<v Speaker 5>is the shortening of day of day time or day

355
00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:34.200
<v Speaker 5>sunlight essentially, and that is queuing the trees to say,

356
00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:37.160
<v Speaker 5>winter is coming, we need to stop producing more chlorophyll,

357
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:39.519
<v Speaker 5>and we need to you know, essentially sucking all those

358
00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:43.240
<v Speaker 5>materials from the leaf back to the tree. So that's

359
00:19:43.240 --> 00:19:46.359
<v Speaker 5>something you know, regardless of climate change or you know,

360
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:49.680
<v Speaker 5>any any any shifting, what we're seeing across the landscape.

361
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:52.759
<v Speaker 5>You know we're still seeing the same pattern in daylights,

362
00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:55.440
<v Speaker 5>and that that is a que that the trees are

363
00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:56.160
<v Speaker 5>paying attention to.

364
00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Professor a great, great explainer, which means you're probably great

365
00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:03.160
<v Speaker 2>in the classroom. I thank you so much. Love to

366
00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:06.880
<v Speaker 2>have you back, Professor Stephen or Berges, Professor of Natural

367
00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Resources at you and H and Durham, New Hampshire. Thank

368
00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:10.920
<v Speaker 2>you very much, professor.

369
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:13.400
<v Speaker 5>Great looking forward to seeing the after this fall. Take care,

370
00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:14.039
<v Speaker 5>I'll be there.

371
00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:15.920
<v Speaker 2>I'll be there at some point, that's for sure. Thanks

372
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:18.200
<v Speaker 2>very much. When we get back, we're go to talk

373
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:22.519
<v Speaker 2>with the CEO of a very interesting website called Fetch.

374
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:25.480
<v Speaker 2>I think I know what fetches, and he's going to

375
00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:30.319
<v Speaker 2>talk about a program of young entrepreneurial competition. We'll explain

376
00:20:30.359 --> 00:20:32.119
<v Speaker 2>it all right after the news at the bottom of

377
00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:32.720
<v Speaker 2>the hour.

378
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:39.359
<v Speaker 1>Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's news radio.

379
00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:43.880
<v Speaker 2>All right, delighted to be joined by Wes Scroll. I'm

380
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:45.240
<v Speaker 2>hope I'm pronouncing that right.

381
00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:47.359
<v Speaker 4>Stroll, you got it?

382
00:20:47.799 --> 00:20:52.039
<v Speaker 2>Okay, got it all Shroll, you're the CEO of Fetch. Now.

383
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:56.559
<v Speaker 2>I have on my phone an app from Fetch which

384
00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:00.920
<v Speaker 2>I use when I'm in the gym, and and I

385
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.240
<v Speaker 2>want to listen to the audio on the TV sets.

386
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Is that the same fetch that we're talking.

387
00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:07.240
<v Speaker 4>About, different fetch?

388
00:21:07.359 --> 00:21:16.880
<v Speaker 2>So that okay? So you guys, so okay, So I've

389
00:21:16.920 --> 00:21:20.839
<v Speaker 2>cleared that up. So you are gonna tell us about

390
00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:26.200
<v Speaker 2>the winners of an inaugural Boston Young Entrepreneur competition entitled

391
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:31.839
<v Speaker 2>Defeat the Odds Pitch Competition. And they these three students

392
00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:36.920
<v Speaker 2>from Acting Boxboro Regional High School. And excuse me, strike

393
00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:40.799
<v Speaker 2>that you're a graduate of Acting Boxboro Regional High School.

394
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:44.519
<v Speaker 4>Correct and believe it or not, the winners after we're

395
00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:47.200
<v Speaker 4>after they won, I found out we're also going to

396
00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:48.519
<v Speaker 4>school at Acting Boxboro.

397
00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:51.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh now, wait a second, hold on, wait a second.

398
00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:53.680
<v Speaker 4>The competition.

399
00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:57.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm throwing the flag here. Well, in addition, my son

400
00:21:57.440 --> 00:22:00.720
<v Speaker 2>in law, who's a brilliant young guy, uh is a

401
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:03.279
<v Speaker 2>graduate of act in Voxburg Regional High School. You guys,

402
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:04.640
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what's in the water up there, but

403
00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:08.880
<v Speaker 2>you got some smart, smart people. So this group, this

404
00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:14.359
<v Speaker 2>group of students, Vannie if I thought scroll scroll was hard,

405
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Vinnie Mittal, Sareda Coopana and deepiuk Bashois, three sixteen year

406
00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:26.519
<v Speaker 2>old high school students from Sharon Mass I thought they

407
00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:30.119
<v Speaker 2>were from Acting. I'm confused now, totally confused.

408
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:32.920
<v Speaker 4>Two of them went to school at acton the other

409
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:33.680
<v Speaker 4>one from Sharon.

410
00:22:34.200 --> 00:22:37.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well the press release, fine, okay, good enough. They

411
00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.200
<v Speaker 2>designed something called telepark, which is an app that transforms

412
00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:44.759
<v Speaker 2>urban driving. Can you explain it in a way in

413
00:22:44.799 --> 00:22:46.799
<v Speaker 2>which I will understand?

414
00:22:48.039 --> 00:22:52.319
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? Absolutely, I'm sure you have experienced, as with many,

415
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:56.039
<v Speaker 4>when you go downtown for dinner, to go shopping, whatever

416
00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:59.119
<v Speaker 4>the case is, and you're driving around the block over

417
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:02.000
<v Speaker 4>and over again, trying to file a metered spot for

418
00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:03.079
<v Speaker 4>our hours.

419
00:23:04.319 --> 00:23:07.720
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, you eventually drive to McDonald's and think you had

420
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:08.440
<v Speaker 2>dinner downtown.

421
00:23:08.480 --> 00:23:11.440
<v Speaker 4>Go ahead, I'm sorry, Yeah, exactly, and it still counts.

422
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:15.079
<v Speaker 4>But somehow or another, these three sixteen year olds were

423
00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:18.000
<v Speaker 4>able to talk with the City of Boston and get

424
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:23.119
<v Speaker 4>access to real time data of the parking monitors or

425
00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:25.559
<v Speaker 4>of each of those different spots, so that they can

426
00:23:25.640 --> 00:23:28.559
<v Speaker 4>tell which ones are open. So when you open the app,

427
00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:30.839
<v Speaker 4>you plug in where you're going and it will show

428
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:36.480
<v Speaker 4>you multiple nearby spots that are open and available for you.

429
00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Very cool, very cool, And this app is now available.

430
00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:45.200
<v Speaker 4>They do have a live prototype that is out there

431
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:49.440
<v Speaker 4>actually working, and they're working on finishing and putting on

432
00:23:49.480 --> 00:23:52.599
<v Speaker 4>the finishing touches before they make it public to everyone.

433
00:23:53.319 --> 00:23:56.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so will they make it, Will they be a

434
00:23:56.200 --> 00:23:57.880
<v Speaker 2>charge associated with this or no?

435
00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:01.079
<v Speaker 4>So it is just like you'd have to pay for

436
00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:05.319
<v Speaker 4>the meter. It's three dollars per hour, and it's that's

437
00:24:05.440 --> 00:24:07.000
<v Speaker 4>all it is for you to be able to get

438
00:24:07.000 --> 00:24:08.319
<v Speaker 4>it and reserve it ahead of time.

439
00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:11.480
<v Speaker 2>And so they must make a little money on this,

440
00:24:11.799 --> 00:24:15.599
<v Speaker 2>which I have no problem with. If the meter prices

441
00:24:15.640 --> 00:24:20.079
<v Speaker 2>have gone up. If you if you fire quarters into

442
00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:22.559
<v Speaker 2>a parking meter in Boston, do you don't how many

443
00:24:22.599 --> 00:24:25.200
<v Speaker 2>minutes you get for a quarter? Now? Oh?

444
00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:27.160
<v Speaker 4>I don't even know it? Is it three?

445
00:24:28.960 --> 00:24:30.359
<v Speaker 2>Four? Four minutes?

446
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:30.640
<v Speaker 3>Four?

447
00:24:31.759 --> 00:24:33.920
<v Speaker 2>If you got a load like I don't know what

448
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:38.160
<v Speaker 2>that would be, you know, fifteen quarters into a meter

449
00:24:38.559 --> 00:24:40.200
<v Speaker 2>and me you might drop a couple and they have

450
00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:42.839
<v Speaker 2>to pick it up. By time you hit sixty, you've

451
00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:46.960
<v Speaker 2>already used one quarter. It's ridiculous. It's totally ridiculous. But

452
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:49.599
<v Speaker 2>that's not a beef with your with your students. So

453
00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:54.079
<v Speaker 2>they have come up with this. Tell me about the company,

454
00:24:54.160 --> 00:24:57.599
<v Speaker 2>your company which sponsors this of this program because I

455
00:24:58.200 --> 00:25:01.240
<v Speaker 2>you explained it so efficiently. What do Fetch for Business?

456
00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:03.200
<v Speaker 2>That's your company, Fetch for Business, Greg.

457
00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:06.839
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So I'm the founder and CEO of Fetch, and

458
00:25:06.880 --> 00:25:10.839
<v Speaker 4>we launched the business about eleven years ago, actually back

459
00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:13.960
<v Speaker 4>in twenty thirteen, and we run an app that is

460
00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:16.680
<v Speaker 4>totally free for you to be able to download, and

461
00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:20.400
<v Speaker 4>you earn points by taking pictures of receipts or shopping

462
00:25:20.440 --> 00:25:22.759
<v Speaker 4>through the app, and then you can redeem those points

463
00:25:22.799 --> 00:25:24.599
<v Speaker 4>for gift cards like a Visa gift card or a

464
00:25:24.599 --> 00:25:28.480
<v Speaker 4>Starbucks gift card. So the company is now about nine

465
00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:31.680
<v Speaker 4>hundred people and about one in ten households in the

466
00:25:31.759 --> 00:25:33.480
<v Speaker 4>US use it every single month.

467
00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:35.799
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so way six, we're going to help you out here.

468
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:39.440
<v Speaker 2>So if I go, doesn't matter where I go, whether

469
00:25:39.480 --> 00:25:44.200
<v Speaker 2>I go to grocery store, sporting goods store, restaurant, everything.

470
00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:46.319
<v Speaker 2>Wherever I use a credit card.

471
00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:49.920
<v Speaker 4>You can do cash, You can do anything anywhere you

472
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:51.359
<v Speaker 4>get a receipt work.

473
00:25:51.400 --> 00:25:53.799
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So I get a receipt and I take a

474
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:57.599
<v Speaker 2>picture of it with my phone and I download it

475
00:25:57.640 --> 00:26:01.119
<v Speaker 2>to my account. I got to have an account with this.

476
00:26:01.400 --> 00:26:05.240
<v Speaker 4>Yep, So you've already downloaded Fetch totally free, create an account,

477
00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:07.079
<v Speaker 4>and then you can start taking pictures of any of

478
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:12.200
<v Speaker 4>your receipts and you'll earn points. Really simple.

479
00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:16.079
<v Speaker 2>That almost sounds too good to be true, Wes, but

480
00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:20.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure it's true. So you don't have to use

481
00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:23.359
<v Speaker 2>a credit card. You could use cash obviously I would

482
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:28.440
<v Speaker 2>understand it for credit card. And you said that one

483
00:26:28.440 --> 00:26:30.799
<v Speaker 2>out of ten households in America are now using this

484
00:26:31.000 --> 00:26:31.400
<v Speaker 2>was that the.

485
00:26:31.319 --> 00:26:34.839
<v Speaker 4>Figure every single month? Yeah, that is where.

486
00:26:35.279 --> 00:26:37.480
<v Speaker 2>Ten households in America, So they have to be like,

487
00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:42.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm guessing what eighty one hundred, one hundred million households.

488
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:45.440
<v Speaker 2>What's the number of households in America?

489
00:26:46.079 --> 00:26:48.559
<v Speaker 4>About one hundred and twenty and we have twelve million

490
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:49.880
<v Speaker 4>of them.

491
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Wow. Wow, I'm going to check this out, Wes. This

492
00:26:54.759 --> 00:26:58.640
<v Speaker 2>is very cool. And so you've done this to help entrepreneurs.

493
00:26:58.680 --> 00:27:03.559
<v Speaker 2>You're an entrepreneur, right, I assume, Well, obviously, which I am.

494
00:27:04.279 --> 00:27:07.720
<v Speaker 4>You go to business school, so this is why we're actually,

495
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:10.519
<v Speaker 4>you know, hosting this competition nowadays. I was going to

496
00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:13.599
<v Speaker 4>school at University of Wisconsin, Madison, and in between my

497
00:27:13.640 --> 00:27:16.200
<v Speaker 4>freshmen and sophomore year, came up with the idea for

498
00:27:16.319 --> 00:27:18.839
<v Speaker 4>Fetch and I didn't know how to get started. So

499
00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:21.240
<v Speaker 4>I actually found that my school was hosting a business

500
00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:24.559
<v Speaker 4>plan competition. But I called friends from high school and

501
00:27:24.599 --> 00:27:27.480
<v Speaker 4>found out that their schools were also hosting business plan competition.

502
00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:30.920
<v Speaker 4>So I flew around the country. Boston College, University Massachusetts,

503
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:34.480
<v Speaker 4>sam Hurst University Wisconsin competed in those one one hundred

504
00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:37.119
<v Speaker 4>and eighty thousand dollars, and I started the company and

505
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:40.400
<v Speaker 4>dropped out with that money. So business plank competitions are

506
00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:41.119
<v Speaker 4>close to my heart.

507
00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:45.559
<v Speaker 2>So so you didn't you never went to business school.

508
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:47.680
<v Speaker 4>Per se, I didn't finish it. I made it through

509
00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:49.160
<v Speaker 4>my sophomore year and then I stopped.

510
00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's okay. At you were a badger at the

511
00:27:52.920 --> 00:27:57.599
<v Speaker 2>University Wisconsin. This is really interesting. It just shows how

512
00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:01.039
<v Speaker 2>great a system economic system we have that if someone

513
00:28:01.079 --> 00:28:06.039
<v Speaker 2>has an idea, you can not only help yourself, but

514
00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:09.799
<v Speaker 2>you can employ other people and in your case, you

515
00:28:09.880 --> 00:28:14.359
<v Speaker 2>can inspire young people to follow in your footsteps. This

516
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:20.319
<v Speaker 2>is a tremendous, tremendous program that you're running. And I'll

517
00:28:20.359 --> 00:28:26.599
<v Speaker 2>tell you it's capitalism in the best form because it's ideas.

518
00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:30.839
<v Speaker 2>It's filling spaces that people need some help. How can

519
00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:33.799
<v Speaker 2>people follow your company a little bit, because I'm sure

520
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:35.680
<v Speaker 2>that this will not be the only great idea you're

521
00:28:35.680 --> 00:28:36.400
<v Speaker 2>going to come up with.

522
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:40.079
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so you can check us out at fetch dot

523
00:28:40.119 --> 00:28:42.680
<v Speaker 4>com and you can learn all about the app that

524
00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:45.240
<v Speaker 4>we have there. You can learn more about the company,

525
00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:47.400
<v Speaker 4>my journey, all of those good things if you have

526
00:28:47.480 --> 00:28:50.240
<v Speaker 4>any interest. And then we're going to continue hosting the

527
00:28:50.359 --> 00:28:53.680
<v Speaker 4>Defeat the Odds Pitch competition, which is what the folks

528
00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:56.480
<v Speaker 4>over at Telepark one next year, and we're going to

529
00:28:56.519 --> 00:28:59.279
<v Speaker 4>expand it to five cities, but Boston will have a

530
00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:03.119
<v Speaker 4>chance to come out strong again, higher prize dollars and everything.

531
00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:05.319
<v Speaker 4>We love doing it this year and we're gonna we're

532
00:29:05.319 --> 00:29:06.599
<v Speaker 4>gonna run it back next year.

533
00:29:07.839 --> 00:29:13.359
<v Speaker 2>It's unbelievable and I truly mean this. There are very

534
00:29:13.359 --> 00:29:19.000
<v Speaker 2>few countries around the world that basically, and thank god

535
00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:21.759
<v Speaker 2>we live in America where people can come up with ideas,

536
00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:26.920
<v Speaker 2>and maybe through this great invention of these three sixteen

537
00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:29.480
<v Speaker 2>year old high school students, I'll be able to find

538
00:29:29.480 --> 00:29:31.480
<v Speaker 2>a parking space the next time I try to count

539
00:29:31.480 --> 00:29:32.000
<v Speaker 2>to Boston.

540
00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:36.960
<v Speaker 4>This absolutely what a world to be living in. I

541
00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:37.359
<v Speaker 4>love it.

542
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:40.680
<v Speaker 2>I hate to put it on such a personal level.

543
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:46.119
<v Speaker 2>But that's wild, that's wild, Wes. I really enjoyed this conversation.

544
00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:51.000
<v Speaker 2>And there is a company called Fetch. Are you familiar

545

<v Speaker 2>Wan to welcome Mike Collie, VP of MSPCA Angels Animal

582
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:56.720
<v Speaker 2>Protection Division. And you got a big special It's called

583
00:31:57.400 --> 00:32:03.119
<v Speaker 2>per Normal Credativity, a special cat adoption event coming up

584
00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:08.839
<v Speaker 2>in anticipation of not only Halloween, Mike, but also as

585
00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:11.359
<v Speaker 2>a consequence of what has happened down south in the

586
00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:13.440
<v Speaker 2>last few days, a lot of animal is going to

587
00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:15.480
<v Speaker 2>be coming up north here. Tell us about it.

588
00:32:16.680 --> 00:32:19.759
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it's been a really devastating storm, as you know,

589
00:32:20.119 --> 00:32:24.240
<v Speaker 6>and it's really impacted areas that we didn't anticipate being hit,

590
00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:28.200
<v Speaker 6>like Asheville, North Carolina. So you know, right now there's

591
00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:31.720
<v Speaker 6>just finally rescue workers getting to some of the areas

592
00:32:31.720 --> 00:32:36.160
<v Speaker 6>that have been inaccessible because of road closures and you know,

593
00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:40.319
<v Speaker 6>other issues. So luckily we're starting to get some information

594
00:32:40.359 --> 00:32:43.799
<v Speaker 6>from the ground, and unfortunately the devastation is quite bad,

595
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:47.599
<v Speaker 6>and we're really hopeful that the event that we had

596
00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:50.960
<v Speaker 6>already had planned this week for cat adoptions will go

597
00:32:51.039 --> 00:32:53.640
<v Speaker 6>off well so that we can welcome as many animals

598
00:32:53.640 --> 00:32:55.880
<v Speaker 6>that need to get out of the disaster area into

599
00:32:56.279 --> 00:32:58.599
<v Speaker 6>our adoption centers and eventually into new homes.

600
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:03.200
<v Speaker 2>I was talking to my daughter tonight. She actually is

601
00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:07.160
<v Speaker 2>out in San Francisco and she's a big animal lover.

602
00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:11.519
<v Speaker 2>As matter of fact, she took a beautiful Corki dog

603
00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:16.039
<v Speaker 2>called Mustard from the Situate Animal shelter. So she's a

604
00:33:16.079 --> 00:33:19.000
<v Speaker 2>big advocate of adoption She told me that she saw

605
00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:21.680
<v Speaker 2>a statistic that said if six percent of the people

606
00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:28.359
<v Speaker 2>who purchase animals from breeders, six percent chose to adopt animals,

607
00:33:29.079 --> 00:33:31.400
<v Speaker 2>there would be no need for any more shelters. That's

608
00:33:31.480 --> 00:33:33.880
<v Speaker 2>kind of an amazing figure when you think about it.

609
00:33:35.359 --> 00:33:35.599
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

610
00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:38.519
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely, I mean, I think we are always encouraging people

611
00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:44.359
<v Speaker 6>to consider adopting rather than supporting inhumane type of breeding

612
00:33:44.759 --> 00:33:47.680
<v Speaker 6>situations like puppy mills. And you know, we're one of

613
00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:49.960
<v Speaker 6>the only businesses out there that says we're the business

614
00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:52.119
<v Speaker 6>that's trying to put ourselves out of business. So she's

615
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:55.640
<v Speaker 6>absolutely right. People are able to adopt all the homeless animals.

616
00:33:55.920 --> 00:33:57.480
<v Speaker 6>It would be great if there is one day in

617
00:33:57.519 --> 00:34:00.480
<v Speaker 6>our future home where an animal never has to enter

618
00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:01.359
<v Speaker 6>and animal shelter.

619
00:34:02.119 --> 00:34:05.400
<v Speaker 2>Well as Elvis Presley saying, we can only dream. So

620
00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:10.039
<v Speaker 2>tell me about the event. Where will it be held

621
00:34:10.039 --> 00:34:12.760
<v Speaker 2>this weekend? It's you're going to be all four of

622
00:34:12.800 --> 00:34:17.480
<v Speaker 2>your adoption centers from tomorrow, October first through this Friday.

623
00:34:18.039 --> 00:34:21.519
<v Speaker 2>Again specific emphasis on black cats because there were so

624
00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:27.000
<v Speaker 2>many misconceptions about black cats, particularly in relation to Halloween.

625
00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:29.599
<v Speaker 2>Black cats can be a lot of fun and cute

626
00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:33.800
<v Speaker 2>and playful and wonderful. So where can people go? How

627
00:34:33.800 --> 00:34:36.480
<v Speaker 2>can they get more information if they want to participate

628
00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:39.800
<v Speaker 2>or at least stop buying and meet some of the animals.

629
00:34:40.440 --> 00:34:43.199
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, well, certainly people can go right to our website

630
00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:46.679
<v Speaker 6>at MSPCA dot org, backslash adopt a cat if you're

631
00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:49.559
<v Speaker 6>looking for cats, or you can just look around and

632
00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:51.000
<v Speaker 6>see all that there are various different things that we

633
00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:54.079
<v Speaker 6>have on our website and animals available for adoption and

634
00:34:54.119 --> 00:34:57.400
<v Speaker 6>coming during our normal adoption hours at any one of

635
00:34:57.400 --> 00:35:00.880
<v Speaker 6>our locations. You can also check out which cats on

636
00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:03.320
<v Speaker 6>our website that are going to be fee waved for

637
00:35:03.360 --> 00:35:07.000
<v Speaker 6>this weekend. And we're focusing on cats that are being overlooked,

638
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:09.320
<v Speaker 6>and we've seen a number of cats coming through our

639
00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:12.760
<v Speaker 6>doors that need special homes. Many of these are coming

640
00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:17.159
<v Speaker 6>from large surrender situations. In one situation that many of

641
00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:20.000
<v Speaker 6>our cats are from was forty five cats living in

642
00:35:20.039 --> 00:35:23.159
<v Speaker 6>one home. So they need a special person that's going

643
00:35:23.239 --> 00:35:26.719
<v Speaker 6>to turn their life into something wonderful. And ever since

644
00:35:26.719 --> 00:35:29.880
<v Speaker 6>we emerged with Northeast Animal Shelter in Salem, Mass I've

645
00:35:29.880 --> 00:35:33.079
<v Speaker 6>always wanted to focus on busting the myths of black

646
00:35:33.119 --> 00:35:36.079
<v Speaker 6>cats that so many people in animal welfare think that

647
00:35:36.840 --> 00:35:39.440
<v Speaker 6>bad people come in and adopt black cats during Halloween,

648
00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:42.079
<v Speaker 6>and we're here to say that if you can, If

649
00:35:42.119 --> 00:35:45.800
<v Speaker 6>we can wave fees during an adoption event in Salem, Massachusetts,

650
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:48.360
<v Speaker 6>then anyone can and this myth has to go.

651
00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:52.119
<v Speaker 2>So again you have the head quotas did you make

652
00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:56.079
<v Speaker 2>a plane in Boston, Methuin, Yes, Salem and also down

653
00:35:56.119 --> 00:35:59.719
<v Speaker 2>on the Cape Centerville in exact, the easiest wave of

654
00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:02.400
<v Speaker 2>people to get specific information. You said it was weekend,

655
00:36:02.440 --> 00:36:05.480
<v Speaker 2>but I'm reading the press release says Tuesday through Friday.

656
00:36:05.840 --> 00:36:08.039
<v Speaker 2>Is it extending through the weekend as well?

657
00:36:08.920 --> 00:36:11.280
<v Speaker 6>I'm sorry if I said weekend, I meant weekday. So yes,

658
00:36:11.320 --> 00:36:12.920
<v Speaker 6>it's going to be the weekday and then.

659
00:36:13.440 --> 00:36:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Tomorrow through Friday through Friday, October fourth. So they just

660
00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:20.440
<v Speaker 2>go to MSPCA dot org and all the information is

661
00:36:20.480 --> 00:36:24.440
<v Speaker 2>there on adopting a black cat or maybe a different

662
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:25.800
<v Speaker 2>animal of their choice.

663
00:36:27.039 --> 00:36:31.920
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely really right now with this devastating hurricane, any animal

664
00:36:31.960 --> 00:36:34.119
<v Speaker 6>that we can get into a permanent home or a

665
00:36:34.119 --> 00:36:35.800
<v Speaker 6>foster home means that we're going to free up a

666
00:36:35.880 --> 00:36:40.320
<v Speaker 6>kennel for another animal that needs to be relocated to Massachusetts.

667
00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:42.400
<v Speaker 6>And really important to note here that when we do

668
00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:46.039
<v Speaker 6>relocation from disaster zones, we never take animals that are

669
00:36:46.079 --> 00:36:48.840
<v Speaker 6>displaced during the storm. It's always animals that were already

670
00:36:48.840 --> 00:36:52.039
<v Speaker 6>in animal shelters that we're looking for homes that we

671
00:36:52.119 --> 00:36:54.480
<v Speaker 6>move so they can clear space than those shelters. We

672
00:36:54.559 --> 00:36:56.920
<v Speaker 6>never want to take someone's pet away from where they

673
00:36:56.960 --> 00:36:57.960
<v Speaker 6>could reclaim them from.

674
00:36:58.280 --> 00:37:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, Ye of the MSPCA, remember this, Mike, All dogs,

675
00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:05.559
<v Speaker 2>all cats, all pets go to heaven. That's how I

676
00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:08.440
<v Speaker 2>end my show every night, and I'll mention it in

677
00:37:08.519 --> 00:37:11.280
<v Speaker 2>the context of our interview. And you're doing God's work

678
00:37:11.280 --> 00:37:12.719
<v Speaker 2>for us here. So thank you very much.

679
00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:15.840
<v Speaker 4>Well, thanks so much for having me. I really appreciate it.

680
00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Really welcome, good night, good night. When we get back,

681
00:37:18.519 --> 00:37:22.079
<v Speaker 2>we're going to talk about Boston's budget woes with the

682
00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:25.599
<v Speaker 2>executive director of a new group, the Boston Policy Institute.
