<v Speaker 2>the writer and the producer of a new film that's

26
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:43.159
<v Speaker 2>just about to come out called any Day Now about

27
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:50.519
<v Speaker 2>the art heist at Boston's Illabella Stuart Gardner Museum, and

28
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:56.280
<v Speaker 2>it's characterized as it explores the Truish art heist. Welcome.

29
00:01:56.840 --> 00:02:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Eric Aronson is a Boston native. Hey, Eric, Welcome to

30
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:02.120
<v Speaker 2>Night's Side.

31
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:05.799
<v Speaker 3>Hi Dan, I'm happy to be here.

32
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:10.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, how long you've been in this crazy movie business.

33
00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:17.599
<v Speaker 4>I've been a screenwriter for about twenty five years in Hollywood,

34
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:21.800
<v Speaker 4>writ and all kinds of crazy things. And this is

35
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:28.240
<v Speaker 4>my first directorial film, and I've just been waiting for

36
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:30.280
<v Speaker 4>the right time and the right story and I found

37
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:30.719
<v Speaker 4>them both.

38
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:34.199
<v Speaker 2>Well, I'll tell you, I've looked at the trailer. I

39
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:37.840
<v Speaker 2>can't wait to see the film. Let's uh, why don't

40
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:40.919
<v Speaker 2>you tell us what it's about. I know what it's about,

41
00:02:41.719 --> 00:02:44.840
<v Speaker 2>and I've watched the trailer, which is a great trailer.

42
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:46.960
<v Speaker 2>It wants me to I want to see this movie,

43
00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:49.240
<v Speaker 2>to be really honest with you, so tell us, tell

44
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:53.879
<v Speaker 2>us what you're doing here. You're recreating what might have happened.

45
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:57.800
<v Speaker 4>I guess, well, nobody knows what happened, right, so you have.

46
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:02.599
<v Speaker 3>What do we know? For a fact?

47
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:05.960
<v Speaker 4>We know that the museum was robbed, and it's thirty

48
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:10.800
<v Speaker 4>fifth anniversary on Saint Patrick's Day. On the seventeenth, we're

49
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:14.639
<v Speaker 4>actually having our Boston premiere of the movie at the

50
00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:19.360
<v Speaker 4>Summrville Theater and the movie I cut it to be

51
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.400
<v Speaker 4>exactly the length of the robbery. So the movie itself,

52
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:29.520
<v Speaker 4>this is eighty one minutes before credits. And it was

53
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.599
<v Speaker 4>the night of the seventeenth, so it's early morning the eighteenth.

54
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:34.520
<v Speaker 4>But I forgured I wasn't going to make people wait

55
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:37.360
<v Speaker 4>up till one o'clock in the morning to watch this movie.

56
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:39.960
<v Speaker 3>But yes, but what's it about.

57
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:43.840
<v Speaker 4>Yes, it's about the Gardner heist happened. We all know

58
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:48.039
<v Speaker 4>that we all know that nobody knows who did it,

59
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:50.759
<v Speaker 4>and nobody knows where these paintings are and they haven't

60
00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:52.639
<v Speaker 4>come up. But what we do know for a fact

61
00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:56.759
<v Speaker 4>is that there are some pretty interesting characters associated with

62
00:03:56.800 --> 00:04:00.199
<v Speaker 4>this crime and around it, and I'm a character guy,

63
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:04.560
<v Speaker 4>and I just took inspiration from some of some of

64
00:04:04.599 --> 00:04:07.319
<v Speaker 4>the ideas around it, and then I made my own

65
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:08.680
<v Speaker 4>fictional version.

66
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:11.120
<v Speaker 5>Of of a one of what if happened?

67
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:13.919
<v Speaker 4>And what if this happened? And it's really in the

68
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:15.159
<v Speaker 4>works of comedy and serious.

69
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:19.759
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead in watching the trailer. UH. And you may

70
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:21.800
<v Speaker 2>or may not know, but I've been around a long time,

71
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:25.160
<v Speaker 2>and I was around as a TV reporter at the

72
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:29.639
<v Speaker 2>time of the Gardner HEISTUH covered, amongst others, a lot

73
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:33.160
<v Speaker 2>of the criminals in and around the Boston area. I

74
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:37.279
<v Speaker 2>got a distinct just watching the trailer, got a little

75
00:04:37.680 --> 00:04:39.959
<v Speaker 2>little whiff of a whitey bulgeer type character.

76
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:44.439
<v Speaker 5>It's not actually it's more off beat.

77
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:46.639
<v Speaker 4>It's an it's more of an off beat I mean,

78
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:48.560
<v Speaker 4>he can come across that way.

79
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:49.839
<v Speaker 3>It's it's he's an heart thief.

80
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.399
<v Speaker 4>But in the movie, in the movie itself, he's he's

81
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.120
<v Speaker 4>he's doing bad, but he's also doing good. He's a

82
00:04:57.160 --> 00:05:01.360
<v Speaker 4>really interesting character. He's a It's played by Paul Gilfoyle,

83
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:05.000
<v Speaker 4>who's a Boston native and just a wonderful, wonderful actor.

84
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:08.279
<v Speaker 4>And he has this ability to do two things at once,

85
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:10.040
<v Speaker 4>and not a lot of actors can do that. But

86
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.360
<v Speaker 4>he's able to be menacing, and he's also clever and

87
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:18.199
<v Speaker 4>cheekish and roguish, and you also kind of like him.

88
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:22.120
<v Speaker 4>And even though he's reaching his hand in your pocket

89
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:23.240
<v Speaker 4>and taking your money out of it.

90
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well you know, those were some of the characteristics

91
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:28.959
<v Speaker 2>of Whitey Bulger. Over in South Boston. He was thought

92
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.480
<v Speaker 2>of as a good bad guy, if you know what

93
00:05:31.519 --> 00:05:32.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying.

94
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:35.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but he was really a bit you know. And

95
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:38.720
<v Speaker 4>that's the other reason why I chose this story. I

96
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:41.759
<v Speaker 4>chose this story because in my life, and I'm from

97
00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:45.040
<v Speaker 4>Boston and I live here. Now, there are two great

98
00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:48.040
<v Speaker 4>myths and the two mis and you hit on it

99
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:51.360
<v Speaker 4>is the White Bulger myths and the Gardner heist. And

100
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:54.120
<v Speaker 4>White Bulger is just not funny.

101
00:05:55.800 --> 00:06:03.759
<v Speaker 2>No, he left a path of murder and broken people.

102
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:09.319
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely so. Premieres on Monday, Saint Patrick's Day at the

103
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:14.319
<v Speaker 2>Somerville Theater. How many showing this has to be shown

104
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:17.120
<v Speaker 2>a lot of times? Or is this going to Is

105
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:20.079
<v Speaker 2>it going to be available on Netflix? Tell us? How not?

106
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:21.879
<v Speaker 2>Only are you going to create a great movie? And

107
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:23.399
<v Speaker 2>I think it's going to be a great I think

108
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:25.800
<v Speaker 2>it's a great movie just from watching the trailer. How

109
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:29.680
<v Speaker 2>are you gonna make this? Turn this into a successful

110
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:32.279
<v Speaker 2>financial effort as well? Is it going to go into

111
00:06:32.360 --> 00:06:35.000
<v Speaker 2>theaters across the country at some point after the premiere?

112
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Tell me how it works.

113
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:41.079
<v Speaker 4>Well, we're starting a limited release, so you have a

114
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:43.000
<v Speaker 4>couple of ways that you can see this movie, Dan.

<v Speaker 4>You can come to the premiere on Monday night at

116
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:49.040
<v Speaker 4>Somerville or on the twenty first, which is I think

117
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:53.720
<v Speaker 4>it's Thursday night. We are showing the film in a

118
00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:56.600
<v Speaker 4>couple of theaters. It's showing in New York in a

119
00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:00.000
<v Speaker 4>theater in Greenwich Village. It's also showing at the Magia

120
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:04.560
<v Speaker 4>six seven for a week in here. And we're also,

121
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:08.480
<v Speaker 4>which is unusual, but we're also releasing it online. So

122
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:11.279
<v Speaker 4>if you want to see it anywhere in the country,

123
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:13.560
<v Speaker 4>you can see it online. And we're just gonna leave

124
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:16.319
<v Speaker 4>it out for a limited release starting on March twenty first.

125
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:18.639
<v Speaker 4>We're gonna show it and then we're gonna pull it.

126
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:21.560
<v Speaker 4>I just want to tip my toe in the water

127
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:23.839
<v Speaker 4>and see what kind of appetite is and then we're

128
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:28.319
<v Speaker 4>going to slowly roll out a bigger release in May.

129
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.199
<v Speaker 4>But we've created a lot of ads for this movie

130
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:34.480
<v Speaker 4>and they're just gonna start rolling out and you'll start

131
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:37.360
<v Speaker 4>seeing some of them, and they're really fun. They're not

132
00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:41.560
<v Speaker 4>the movie. They're kind of stories around the movie, and

133
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:43.439
<v Speaker 4>we're gonna push that out and see what happens.

134
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.319
<v Speaker 2>So let me ask you this, this is it sounds

135
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:51.639
<v Speaker 2>to me like very creative release of this work, a

136
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:54.040
<v Speaker 2>work of art above theft of art. Let's put it

137
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:58.000
<v Speaker 2>like that. How can people if you can't get to

138
00:07:58.040 --> 00:07:59.879
<v Speaker 2>the Somerville Theater, if you can't get down a gra

139
00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:03.240
<v Speaker 2>village in New York on the twentieth, if you count wherever,

140
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:06.399
<v Speaker 2>what's the way is it going to be on Netflix?

141
00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:10.399
<v Speaker 2>How can people I assume either rented or buy it.

142
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:13.600
<v Speaker 2>What could the average person do who wants to see

143
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.839
<v Speaker 2>the movie but maybe geographically can't get to where the

144
00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:19.360
<v Speaker 2>movie's being shown in a public venue.

145
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:23.360
<v Speaker 4>If you want to see it for a limited time

146
00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:25.600
<v Speaker 4>on March twenty first, and as long as you're in

147
00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:28.800
<v Speaker 4>the United States, you can go to Kinema, which is

148
00:08:28.839 --> 00:08:31.360
<v Speaker 4>like a specialty film website. But you'll see it on

149
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:32.919
<v Speaker 4>all our ads. We're going to start pushing it out

150
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:34.799
<v Speaker 4>on the end of the ads. But if you go

151
00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:37.600
<v Speaker 4>to Kinema, you'll see our movie. It's going to be

152
00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:40.200
<v Speaker 4>up there for a week or so and then we're

153
00:08:40.200 --> 00:08:41.759
<v Speaker 4>going to pull it so you'll have a little time

154
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:43.759
<v Speaker 4>to see it starting on the twenty first, no matter

155
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:44.600
<v Speaker 4>where you are.

156
00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:49.080
<v Speaker 2>Good, Okay. Yeah. The whole idea here is to tell

157
00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:53.320
<v Speaker 2>the to tell the story about your movie, about the story.

158
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:57.600
<v Speaker 2>If I didn't think it was really it intrigued me.

159
00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:00.120
<v Speaker 2>The trailer I thought was great. I've seen a lot

160
00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:03.399
<v Speaker 2>of trailers, and I thought it was a really intriguing trailer.

161
00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:06.000
<v Speaker 2>It makes me want to go see the movie, and

162
00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:08.799
<v Speaker 2>I want I'm sure my audience are going to want

163
00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:12.440
<v Speaker 2>to go see it as well. So Eric, congratulations. Where

164
00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:14.360
<v Speaker 2>did you learn new craft? Did you go to school

165
00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:17.440
<v Speaker 2>back here in the Boston area or how did you

166
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:18.840
<v Speaker 2>get involved in this real quickly?

167
00:09:19.879 --> 00:09:22.720
<v Speaker 4>No, I was in politics. I was a speech writer

168
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:25.879
<v Speaker 4>for the British politician. I couldn't have been any further

169
00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:28.360
<v Speaker 4>from what I'm doing. And then I just came home

170
00:09:28.399 --> 00:09:30.519
<v Speaker 4>one day and I sat here in Boston with a

171
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:31.879
<v Speaker 4>friend of mine and I said, you know what I've

172
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:34.000
<v Speaker 4>always wanted to do. I've always wanted to write a

173
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:37.240
<v Speaker 4>script and he said do it. And I don't know why,

174
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:40.320
<v Speaker 4>but just somebody else telling me that I could do it,

175
00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:42.519
<v Speaker 4>it just opened up everything for me. And then I

176
00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:44.480
<v Speaker 4>started writing, and I've been writing ever since. That's twenty

177
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:46.440
<v Speaker 4>five years, and I've worked with a lot of people

178
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:49.480
<v Speaker 4>in almost every studio and then this, and then I

179
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:52.519
<v Speaker 4>decided now to try my hat handed directing.

180
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:56.519
<v Speaker 2>Man, that's great that It's just amazing how people find

181
00:09:56.519 --> 00:09:59.840
<v Speaker 2>their way. People find it their way, and obviously you

182
00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.480
<v Speaker 2>found your way to something that you're passionate about, and

183
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:05.399
<v Speaker 2>those are the type of people we love to talk to.

184
00:10:05.919 --> 00:10:09.399
<v Speaker 2>The movie is any Day Now. It's about the Gardener

185
00:10:09.480 --> 00:10:12.559
<v Speaker 2>Museum theft, and I recommend it highly. Eric. I appreciate

186
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:15.440
<v Speaker 2>your time tonight. I hope to meet you someday. You

187
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:20.919
<v Speaker 2>sound like a fascinating guy, so much. Appreciate it, all right,

188
00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:24.919
<v Speaker 2>Eric Aronson, Director, writer, producer of the movie any Day Now.

189
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:27.960
<v Speaker 2>When we get back, we're going to switch and we're

190
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:30.639
<v Speaker 2>going to talk. Are any of you afraid of public speaking?

191
00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:33.080
<v Speaker 2>I know I was at one point in time. I

192
00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:36.759
<v Speaker 2>really was. Though I've made a career of it and

193
00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:40.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to have the founder of speaking Circles International.

194

00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

209
00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:35.440
<v Speaker 1>Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.

210
00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:43.360
<v Speaker 2>When people ask others what they fear most, some people

211
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:47.039
<v Speaker 2>will say snakes, some will say flying on an airplane,

212
00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:50.759
<v Speaker 2>but a lot of people actually say public. Speaking with

213
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:56.720
<v Speaker 2>us is Lee Glickstein, founder of Speaking Circles International. Lee,

214
00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:58.679
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to Nightside. How are you tonight?

215
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:02.960
<v Speaker 5>Well, wonderful. Well, thank you for having me here, very welcome.

216
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:06.679
<v Speaker 2>So from stage fright to fearlessness. I've spent a lot

217
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:09.600
<v Speaker 2>of years in the media, both as a television reporter

218
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:12.279
<v Speaker 2>and now as a talk show host. I've really made

219
00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:18.159
<v Speaker 2>my career about speaking, either reporting or conducting programs like this.

220
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:21.600
<v Speaker 2>And yet I can remember when I was a freshman

221
00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:25.679
<v Speaker 2>in college, terrified having to give a speech in front

222
00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:27.919
<v Speaker 2>of my classmates. So just not even a speech, a

223
00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:33.320
<v Speaker 2>short presentation. And I don't know how I got over

224
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:37.679
<v Speaker 2>the fear. But how do you help people get over

225
00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:38.600
<v Speaker 2>that fear.

226
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:43.399
<v Speaker 5>Well, it really comes down to not thinking of that

227
00:12:43.919 --> 00:12:47.799
<v Speaker 5>public speaking, speaking to a whole group, but to one

228
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:52.200
<v Speaker 5>person at a time. So anything he has halfway decent

229
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:55.720
<v Speaker 5>one on one skill, and my I've worked with people

230
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:00.000
<v Speaker 5>you know that is you know coachings who are perfect

231
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:00.679
<v Speaker 5>on one.

232
00:13:01.440 --> 00:13:03.399
<v Speaker 2>Lee, we got a little bit, Lee, hold on for saying,

233
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:05.600
<v Speaker 2>we got kind of some bad audio with you. I'm

234
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:08.279
<v Speaker 2>going to ask my producer Rob to work with you

235
00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:11.120
<v Speaker 2>for a couple of seconds here to try to clean

236
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:13.399
<v Speaker 2>up the line. Don't know what's going on, but I

237
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.240
<v Speaker 2>want to hear everything you say. Well, Rob will get

238
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:19.440
<v Speaker 2>us get you back on with us quickly. We're speaking

239
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:24.159
<v Speaker 2>with Lee Glicksteinstein, a founder of Speaking Circles International. And

240
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:27.480
<v Speaker 2>if you are someone who in your either your job

241
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:30.519
<v Speaker 2>or in your community, you need to be able to

242
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:33.840
<v Speaker 2>periodically appear in front of a group and speak. You

243
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:36.840
<v Speaker 2>want to listen very carefully, carefully to what Lee has

244
00:13:36.879 --> 00:13:38.639
<v Speaker 2>to say. Lee, you're back and let's hope that we

245
00:13:38.759 --> 00:13:40.799
<v Speaker 2>got that audio improved a little bit.

246
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:44.840
<v Speaker 5>Go right ahead, Okay, So what I'm trying to say

247
00:13:45.159 --> 00:13:47.159
<v Speaker 5>is that if you if you think of it as

248
00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:51.759
<v Speaker 5>just one person at a time, never speaking to a group,

249
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:57.000
<v Speaker 5>If if you just do one person at time, it

250
00:13:57.120 --> 00:14:00.480
<v Speaker 5>becomes a series of one on ones. And it really

251
00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:06.559
<v Speaker 5>involves developing the skill, the capacity by practicing in front

252
00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:09.679
<v Speaker 5>of a group to only be with one person at

253
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:11.720
<v Speaker 5>a time, and when you're with them, even it's the

254
00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:15.799
<v Speaker 5>three seconds of five seconds to see them so they

255
00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:19.000
<v Speaker 5>feel seen the way you are at your best when

256
00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:21.120
<v Speaker 5>you're on you know, when you're having a one on

257
00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:25.039
<v Speaker 5>one sensitive conversation, you stay with the person, you you

258
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:27.879
<v Speaker 5>keep you have your eyes available to the person. Well,

259
00:14:27.919 --> 00:14:29.919
<v Speaker 5>if you do that with a group of any size,

260
00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:32.200
<v Speaker 5>it doesn't mean you have to get to every single person.

261
00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:34.919
<v Speaker 5>You got one hundred hundred people there be with one

262
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:38.080
<v Speaker 5>person at a time. The group will start to feel

263
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:43.720
<v Speaker 5>that you're connected, that you're that you're with the whole group.

264
00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:48.000
<v Speaker 5>Everyone will feel it personally. You have to practice with

265
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:50.919
<v Speaker 5>one person at a time, and that's you know, I've

266
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:55.320
<v Speaker 5>created a practice ground, the speaking circle, where people get

267
00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:58.840
<v Speaker 5>say three minutes or five minutes, and the only instruction

268
00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:01.039
<v Speaker 5>is to be with one person at a time. You

269
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:03.639
<v Speaker 5>don't even have to speak. Yeah, I did this with

270
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:09.879
<v Speaker 5>stammerers in Dublin, Ireland. Scottish people. Of course, they're storytellers

271
00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:15.840
<v Speaker 5>and storytellers Scottish people who I know, so i'm talking Scottish.

272
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:19.159
<v Speaker 5>I'm talking about Irish people who have trouble telling stories

273
00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:23.519
<v Speaker 5>because they spammer or losing so much. But when they

274
00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:25.840
<v Speaker 5>be with one person at a time and they're trying

275
00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:27.120
<v Speaker 5>to speak to the whole group.

276
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:33.399
<v Speaker 2>And so do you do you conduct these these seminars

277
00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:36.720
<v Speaker 2>or whatever you would call them, in person or is

278
00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:40.919
<v Speaker 2>this something that people can take this take your course.

279
00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:43.480
<v Speaker 2>That's what I'm trying to figure out here. I understand

280
00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:47.279
<v Speaker 2>the principle. One of the things I'll tell friends of

281
00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:49.600
<v Speaker 2>mine who are a little nervous, I'll say, well, just

282
00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:52.559
<v Speaker 2>speak to the audience. And I actually have a different theory,

283
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:54.679
<v Speaker 2>and that is, you know, look up at the back

284
00:15:54.759 --> 00:15:58.159
<v Speaker 2>row and uh and pick some people out in the

285
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:01.080
<v Speaker 2>back row, and the people down front will still feel

286
00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:03.759
<v Speaker 2>that you have eye contact with them. If you keep

287
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:05.879
<v Speaker 2>your head down and you just look at the front row,

288
00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:07.600
<v Speaker 2>you're going to lose the rest of the audience. But

289
00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:11.799
<v Speaker 2>what can people do do they? You know, do you

290
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:14.120
<v Speaker 2>do zoom conferences? How does this work?

291
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:17.279
<v Speaker 5>Yeah? Well, I do in person, but I also do

292
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:20.039
<v Speaker 5>it on zoom. Since COVID hit, I had to figure

293
00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:22.360
<v Speaker 5>a way to do it without doing it in person.

294
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:25.600
<v Speaker 5>I do it on zoom, and it really works on

295
00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:29.960
<v Speaker 5>zoom when with the protocol I use where when you

296
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:33.120
<v Speaker 5>when you move from one person to another during your turn,

297
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:35.840
<v Speaker 5>you call their name and they look into the camera

298
00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:38.720
<v Speaker 5>and you look at them on the screen. So we

299
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:43.000
<v Speaker 5>got it to where it really works well on zoom.

300
00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:48.559
<v Speaker 5>Virtually you can practice it so that you can be

301
00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:50.559
<v Speaker 5>with one person at a time there and when you

302
00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:54.679
<v Speaker 5>translate that to the quote real world, yeah, it works

303
00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:58.960
<v Speaker 5>the same way. And yeah, yeah, I just want to say,

304
00:16:59.039 --> 00:16:59.519
<v Speaker 5>you said.

305
00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:03.279
<v Speaker 2>If you look, please go ahead.

306
00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:07.480
<v Speaker 5>If you look at somebody in the back row. You said,

307
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:10.200
<v Speaker 5>when you look at people in the back row, people

308
00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:14.119
<v Speaker 5>upfront will feel connected. Yes, if you're truly looking at

309
00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:17.799
<v Speaker 5>anybody in the room, even in the twentieth row, and

310
00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:20.359
<v Speaker 5>you just don't hardly see their eyes, but you see

311
00:17:20.400 --> 00:17:24.799
<v Speaker 5>their being, that the whole everybody will feel connected. That's

312
00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:28.000
<v Speaker 5>how you create, that's how you you you solve the

313
00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:30.680
<v Speaker 5>sense that you know the people you're speaking to don't

314
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:34.400
<v Speaker 5>feel they belong hardly anyone in your in your audience,

315
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:37.920
<v Speaker 5>even if they're dressed well and they they look like

316
00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:41.920
<v Speaker 5>they're listening, they're going through their own stuff. They feel

317
00:17:43.440 --> 00:17:46.240
<v Speaker 5>alienated in their own way from the world. And if

318
00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:51.960
<v Speaker 5>you can create this field of belonging, this community, you're

319
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:56.039
<v Speaker 5>very natural and people will listen at the next level

320
00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:58.400
<v Speaker 5>when you're with just one person at a time.

321
00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:01.680
<v Speaker 2>All right, So, how can folks get in touch with

322
00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:05.440
<v Speaker 2>you if they currently have a fear of public speaking

323
00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:08.720
<v Speaker 2>and they can get more information from you. What's your website?

324
00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:18.920
<v Speaker 5>Well, I love at Speaking circles dot com site.

325

<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you're working on a headset or

327
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:28.359
<v Speaker 2>if you're moving around a room. But we're losing you,

328

00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:01.799
<v Speaker 5>book be seen now, fearless speaker.

338
00:19:02.599 --> 00:19:04.759
<v Speaker 2>All right, I wish we had a better connection. I

339
00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:07.039
<v Speaker 2>don't know if it's our lines or your phone, but

340
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.440
<v Speaker 2>next time we'll clear these lines a little bit more effectively.

341
00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:15.200
<v Speaker 2>Ahead of time. We'll figure it out. Lee Clickstein, thank

342
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:18.599
<v Speaker 2>you very much, the founder of Speaking Circles International. You're

343
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:22.000
<v Speaker 2>very welcome. When we get back, we're gonna get a

344
00:19:22.039 --> 00:19:24.240
<v Speaker 2>little closer to home. I'm going to talk with Kristin McMahon.

345
00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:28.119
<v Speaker 2>She's the curator of pinnipeds and penguins. I don't even

346
00:19:28.160 --> 00:19:30.000
<v Speaker 2>know what a pinny pt is, but I think I'm

347
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:33.079
<v Speaker 2>going to find out and penguins for the New England Aquarium.

348
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:35.640
<v Speaker 2>My name's Dan Ray. This is Nightside. Here comes the News.

349
00:19:35.920 --> 00:19:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Be back in about three three and a half minutes.

350
00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:44.519
<v Speaker 1>It's Night Side With on Boston's news radio.

351
00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:49.759
<v Speaker 2>Well, I am delighted to welcome Kristin McMahon. She's the

352
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:53.759
<v Speaker 2>curator of pinnipeds and penguins for the New England Aquarium.

353
00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:59.519
<v Speaker 2>I have a daughter, Kristin, who is a She is

354
00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:02.680
<v Speaker 2>very accomplished, but if she could have your job. She

355
00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:08.359
<v Speaker 2>loves animals, obviously, as you love animals and you love penguins.

356
00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:11.920
<v Speaker 2>I was just told by Rob what a penny pet is.

357
00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:14.400
<v Speaker 2>I'd never heard the word before, and I'm not going

358
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:18.200
<v Speaker 2>to fake it and make people think that I'm particularly intelligent,

359
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:20.920
<v Speaker 2>but tell us what a penny pet is, because I

360
00:20:21.039 --> 00:20:24.599
<v Speaker 2>had never heard that word.

361
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:28.880
<v Speaker 6>So, a pinnapad is a seal or a sea lion.

362
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:32.160
<v Speaker 6>We actually have five leaned carb fields at the aquarium

363
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:36.240
<v Speaker 6>and five California sea lions. So pinnapad means like penna

364
00:20:36.440 --> 00:20:40.839
<v Speaker 6>or pinned ear. They have ears that you can see

365
00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:42.720
<v Speaker 6>just like you know they hear with the ears. They're

366
00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:47.839
<v Speaker 6>very audible. And so pinnaped means feather footage, meaning like

367
00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:49.799
<v Speaker 6>fins or fin footed. So if you look at their

368
00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:53.759
<v Speaker 6>flippers on their hind flipper area, they look almost feather

369
00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:57.880
<v Speaker 6>like because they have a structure that looks very adaptable

370
00:20:57.920 --> 00:20:58.400
<v Speaker 6>for water.

371
00:20:58.599 --> 00:21:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Yes, okay, here talk now, we know what pinnipeds are,

372
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:05.319
<v Speaker 2>but we're here. We'll come back and talk about pinnipeds

373
00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:08.680
<v Speaker 2>another time, but we're here to talk about penguins. And

374
00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:11.599
<v Speaker 2>I have and I saw a video the other day.

375
00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:13.920
<v Speaker 2>I forget which TV station it was here in Boston.

376
00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:17.920
<v Speaker 2>I switch around. You have a retirement home for older penguins.

377
00:21:17.960 --> 00:21:21.079
<v Speaker 2>Sounds great if you're an older penguin. Tell us about it.

378
00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:25.200
<v Speaker 6>Okay, Yeah, we actually have over fifty penguins at the aquarium,

379
00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:28.559
<v Speaker 6>and forty of those are called African penguins, and our

380
00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:32.799
<v Speaker 6>African penguin colony is at least fifty percent in a

381
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:37.039
<v Speaker 6>geriatric category. So we decided to have a special section

382
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:40.480
<v Speaker 6>of that exhibit be for special animals that are of

383
00:21:40.519 --> 00:21:44.319
<v Speaker 6>an older age and have medical conditions or have not

384
00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:46.839
<v Speaker 6>quite the same abilities they had when they were younger.

385
00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:50.559
<v Speaker 6>So African penguins live about ten to fifteen years in

386
00:21:50.599 --> 00:21:53.200
<v Speaker 6>the wild, and the penguins that are now in this

387
00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:58.079
<v Speaker 6>assisted living retirement area are actually in their thirties and

388
00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:02.480
<v Speaker 6>later twenties, so they're quite old, and in fact, they're

389
00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:06.480
<v Speaker 6>doubling their life span at the aquarium. So it's pretty incredible.

390
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:09.599
<v Speaker 2>Incredible, So why is this such a disparity. Obviously, on

391
00:22:09.640 --> 00:22:14.720
<v Speaker 2>the one hand, you must take very good care, medical

392
00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:19.160
<v Speaker 2>care and otherwise, but that can account for such a

393
00:22:19.279 --> 00:22:24.319
<v Speaker 2>dramatic disparity. Are penguins as they get older, do they

394
00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:30.559
<v Speaker 2>become prey for other animals or fish in the wild.

395
00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:35.359
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely. When the penguins get older, they get less mobile,

396
00:22:35.400 --> 00:22:38.400
<v Speaker 6>they get weaker. They're definitely picked off more easily by

397
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:42.200
<v Speaker 6>their predators such as sharks or large seals. Different things

398
00:22:42.240 --> 00:22:45.279
<v Speaker 6>will eat penguins, and the penguins, as I said, live

399
00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:47.759
<v Speaker 6>about ten to fifteen years in the wild. They also

400
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:49.720
<v Speaker 6>have a lot of threats out in the wild, such

401
00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:56.000
<v Speaker 6>as pollution, lack of habitat, human encroachment, and actually finding

402
00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:59.880
<v Speaker 6>prey which they prey on fish. The oceans are over

403
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:03.200
<v Speaker 6>fish and the pollutions also affecting the fisheries as well,

404
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:06.960
<v Speaker 6>so they have trouble finding proper nutrition. So not only

405
00:23:07.599 --> 00:23:12.000
<v Speaker 6>do they necessarily fall to predation because they're weaker, but

406
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:14.160
<v Speaker 6>also they're not living as long as they would in

407
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:17.519
<v Speaker 6>an aquarium setting. You know, the aquarium, we put animal

408
00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:21.160
<v Speaker 6>welfare as a top priority, and they get restaurant quality fish,

409
00:23:21.319 --> 00:23:24.200
<v Speaker 6>vitamins and vet care and a lot of care from

410
00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:27.079
<v Speaker 6>our trainers every single day, so they tend to live

411
00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:29.640
<v Speaker 6>longer and this longevity has been great for us to

412
00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:31.559
<v Speaker 6>learn more and more about this species.

413
00:23:32.079 --> 00:23:34.279
<v Speaker 2>Now, when I think about penguins, obviously, I think about

414
00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:37.839
<v Speaker 2>the Pittsburgh penguins and Sydney Crosby. Only kidding, only kidding.

415
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:43.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you've heard that joke before. The penguins. You

416
00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:48.960
<v Speaker 2>think of penguins as being, you know, coming from the

417
00:23:49.720 --> 00:23:54.599
<v Speaker 2>south of South America, from the from Antarctica. Is is

418
00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:58.720
<v Speaker 2>that their natural habitat or are they in other parts

419
00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:01.039
<v Speaker 2>of the world.

420
00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:03.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, so that's a great question. A lot of people

421
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:05.079
<v Speaker 6>think of penguins and they think of snow, like the

422
00:24:05.079 --> 00:24:08.839
<v Speaker 6>penguin species that are in Antarctica. But the penguins that

423
00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:12.839
<v Speaker 6>we have are from South America. They're from Africa, so

424
00:24:12.839 --> 00:24:17.559
<v Speaker 6>South Africa, so Namibia and South Africa area where the

425
00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:19.960
<v Speaker 6>African penguins are from. That's where they get their name

426
00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:23.799
<v Speaker 6>African penguins. And we also have Southern rock hopper penguins

427
00:24:23.799 --> 00:24:25.759
<v Speaker 6>that are from warmer climates as well, so they don't

428
00:24:25.799 --> 00:24:28.440
<v Speaker 6>live in a snowy habitat, but they live on rocks

429
00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:31.559
<v Speaker 6>and ledges and a pebbly shore, and they can actually

430
00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:36.359
<v Speaker 6>be in warmer temperatures. So living in that habitat makes

431
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:39.759
<v Speaker 6>it very accessible to living in outdoor exhibits in different

432
00:24:39.759 --> 00:24:42.640
<v Speaker 6>places around the country, so you'll see African penguins in

433
00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:46.440
<v Speaker 6>many different aquariums. The thing that's really interesting about African

434
00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:49.920
<v Speaker 6>penguins is there's such an important species to have in

435
00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:53.880
<v Speaker 6>human care because they are critically endangered. So that's really

436
00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:56.880
<v Speaker 6>scary because that means they could be functionally extinct in

437
00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:00.079
<v Speaker 6>the wild in ten to fifteen years, which is not

438
00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:03.240
<v Speaker 6>very long. So we put a high priority on our

439
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:06.759
<v Speaker 6>breeding program with the African penguins, and we do that

440
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:11.079
<v Speaker 6>through an organization called the SSP, the Species Survival Program,

441
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:14.599
<v Speaker 6>where we do thoughtful breeding plans working with others us

442
00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:18.319
<v Speaker 6>in aquariums to make sure we have genetic diversity represented

443
00:25:18.359 --> 00:25:19.240
<v Speaker 6>with this species.

444
00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:23.599
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so here's my question, and we don't script questions here,

445
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:26.960
<v Speaker 2>so if I ask you something that you cannot answer,

446
00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:32.680
<v Speaker 2>feel free. Are the penguins from Antarctica and the African

447
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:37.559
<v Speaker 2>penguins Are they from the same family, Are they cousins

448
00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:41.839
<v Speaker 2>or were they somehow separated when the ice caps, you know,

449
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:47.079
<v Speaker 2>separated billions of years ago. How similar are the penguins

450
00:25:47.119 --> 00:25:50.559
<v Speaker 2>from Antarctica to the penguins who are now, you know,

451
00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:51.359
<v Speaker 2>in Africa.

452
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:55.640
<v Speaker 6>That's a great question, and they are. They are related.

453
00:25:55.880 --> 00:26:00.079
<v Speaker 6>They're very similar, and they're both obviously species of birds,

454
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:02.319
<v Speaker 6>and they are flightless birds, so they have a lot

455
00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:06.279
<v Speaker 6>in common. They both species eat fish, so the cold

456
00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:08.480
<v Speaker 6>weather penguins and the warm weather penguins have a lot

457
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:12.480
<v Speaker 6>of the same adaptations. The cold weather penguins have much

458
00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:17.240
<v Speaker 6>higher feather counts than the warmer weather penguins. You also

459
00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:19.880
<v Speaker 6>see the African penguins have some bare patches of skin

460
00:26:19.960 --> 00:26:23.279
<v Speaker 6>around their eyes that can actually look pink at times,

461
00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:26.039
<v Speaker 6>and they can regulate their temperature in that way, so

462
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:29.119
<v Speaker 6>they have a little less coverage of feathers than the

463
00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:31.839
<v Speaker 6>cold weather penguins such as the king penguins or the

464
00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:35.160
<v Speaker 6>emperor penguins. So there's a lot of different species that

465
00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:37.799
<v Speaker 6>live in the colder climates, and there's several species that

466
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:41.240
<v Speaker 6>live in the warmer climates as well, and they're all related,

467
00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:44.359
<v Speaker 6>and they all lay eggs and that's how they have

468
00:26:44.480 --> 00:26:47.720
<v Speaker 6>their offspring. They hatch just like any other birds, they'll hatch.

469
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:51.920
<v Speaker 6>Different penguin species will lay either one egg or two eggs,

470
00:26:51.920 --> 00:26:54.079
<v Speaker 6>and that's called a clutch, the number of eggs that

471
00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:58.640
<v Speaker 6>they lay, and so they do have some differences as well,

472
00:26:58.960 --> 00:27:01.519
<v Speaker 6>but again they are relatives they have they're in that

473
00:27:01.559 --> 00:27:05.240
<v Speaker 6>same family, and it's the avian family because they're species

474
00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:06.119
<v Speaker 6>of birds.

475
00:27:06.599 --> 00:27:11.079
<v Speaker 2>Now my understanding, the treatment that you give them is

476
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:16.359
<v Speaker 2>truly world class. And not only do they get great

477
00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:21.720
<v Speaker 2>food and all of that, that you actually administer eye drops.

478
00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:25.119
<v Speaker 2>How do you administer eye drops to a penguin? I

479
00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:28.279
<v Speaker 2>mean do you literally have to hold the bird and

480
00:27:28.680 --> 00:27:31.240
<v Speaker 2>hold their heads? I'm serious when I say that. You know,

481
00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:35.200
<v Speaker 2>the easy answer is how do you you know? How

482
00:27:35.200 --> 00:27:37.680
<v Speaker 2>do you put eye drops in a penguin? Very carefully?

483
00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:37.839
<v Speaker 3>Is?

484
00:27:37.960 --> 00:27:40.400
<v Speaker 2>It would be the comedic answer, But how do you

485
00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:44.200
<v Speaker 2>do something like that? That has to be quite a challenge.

486
00:27:45.039 --> 00:27:47.720
<v Speaker 6>It really is the best part of our job, and

487
00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:51.359
<v Speaker 6>that is providing the best welfare for the animals by

488
00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:55.039
<v Speaker 6>doing husbandry training, which is a fancy word for health care.

489
00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:58.640
<v Speaker 6>So we want them to voluntarily participate in these healthcare

490
00:27:58.680 --> 00:28:01.799
<v Speaker 6>behaviors so that we can give them really great care

491
00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:05.359
<v Speaker 6>and have our veterinarian team get close to them, examine

492
00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:10.039
<v Speaker 6>them and help diagnose anything proactively. So we start out

493
00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:12.519
<v Speaker 6>by building a relationship with each animal, and that's by

494
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:15.799
<v Speaker 6>spending quality time with them and reinforcing them and giving

495
00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:20.000
<v Speaker 6>them fish and giving them scratches. They naturally preen themselves

496
00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:23.680
<v Speaker 6>and other birds, so basically use their beak to work

497
00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:27.079
<v Speaker 6>on the feathers and keep those feathers clean and good

498
00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:30.240
<v Speaker 6>and good condition. So we also do a little scratch

499
00:28:30.319 --> 00:28:32.880
<v Speaker 6>with them which simulates that creening. So we have different

500
00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:36.039
<v Speaker 6>ways to reward or reinforce them and build the relationships.

501
00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:38.400
<v Speaker 6>And from there we can start to pick them up

502
00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:41.039
<v Speaker 6>examine their feet. We can pick them up and kind

503
00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:43.759
<v Speaker 6>of hold them on our lap and administer eye drops

504
00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:45.759
<v Speaker 6>and then we of course want them out of the

505
00:28:45.799 --> 00:28:48.559
<v Speaker 6>water for at least two minutes to let the eye

506
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:52.039
<v Speaker 6>drop soak in. So it's important to have that not

507
00:28:52.079 --> 00:28:54.720
<v Speaker 6>only that relationship, but that's time spent with the animal

508
00:28:54.720 --> 00:28:57.119
<v Speaker 6>where you can have that duration and have them come

509
00:28:57.839 --> 00:29:02.839
<v Speaker 6>in your lap, getting that medical exam, eye drop, put

510
00:29:02.839 --> 00:29:05.079
<v Speaker 6>them on the scale to get a weight. We actually

511
00:29:05.119 --> 00:29:07.519
<v Speaker 6>take them upstairs to get X rays on them. We'll

512
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:11.480
<v Speaker 6>get voluntary blood samples on different animals as well. And

513
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:14.400
<v Speaker 6>you mentioned kind of the pinnipeds earlier, so they're mammals,

514
00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:17.920
<v Speaker 6>so they tend to be even further along in these

515
00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:21.559
<v Speaker 6>behaviors that I'm talking about, because mammals pick up a

516
00:29:21.599 --> 00:29:24.079
<v Speaker 6>little quicker on some of the training and then birds

517
00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:27.200
<v Speaker 6>take a little bit longer. So each type of animal

518
00:29:27.240 --> 00:29:30.400
<v Speaker 6>has a little bit of a different learning curve, if

519
00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:31.200
<v Speaker 6>that makes sense.

520
00:29:31.279 --> 00:29:33.880
<v Speaker 2>And it all makes total sense, and I'm assuming it.

521
00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:36.480
<v Speaker 2>I just got to ask one final quick question here.

522
00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:41.119
<v Speaker 2>I assume that these penguins come to know you just

523
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:42.400
<v Speaker 2>as you come to know them.

524
00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:48.039
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely. And the neat thing about this geriatric assisted living

525
00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:51.200
<v Speaker 6>section of the exhibit is right now, there's six birds

526
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:54.039
<v Speaker 6>in that section, and eventually they'll be eight, and we

527
00:29:54.160 --> 00:29:57.559
<v Speaker 6>do very specifically identifying which animals we want in that

528
00:29:57.599 --> 00:30:00.240
<v Speaker 6>section of the habitat. It's a commer area, it's a

529
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:04.519
<v Speaker 6>little more serene, not quite as active. We also can

530
00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:08.000
<v Speaker 6>get close up observations on these six to eight birds

531
00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:11.000
<v Speaker 6>at any time. Now. All of our birds have bracelets

532
00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:14.720
<v Speaker 6>on their wings or their flippers, and those are on

533
00:30:14.799 --> 00:30:16.960
<v Speaker 6>the left for males, on the right for females, and

534
00:30:16.960 --> 00:30:18.920
<v Speaker 6>each one's a different color, so you're right, we know

535
00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:23.559
<v Speaker 6>exactly which bird is which. So for instance, Durban is

536
00:30:23.599 --> 00:30:25.599
<v Speaker 6>one of the birds in that area. He's thirty one

537
00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:28.359
<v Speaker 6>years old and he actually only has one eye. He

538
00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:30.119
<v Speaker 6>had to have an eye surgery because he had a

539
00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:32.039
<v Speaker 6>chronic eye issue. So you'll see him out there. He

540
00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:34.759
<v Speaker 6>only has one eye, but he's doing great with that,

541
00:30:35.119 --> 00:30:36.839
<v Speaker 6>and that one eye that he has, he does get

542
00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:38.599
<v Speaker 6>the eye drops. So we'll put him on our lap

543
00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:41.160
<v Speaker 6>and we'll give him those eye drops several times a day,

544
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:44.599
<v Speaker 6>and he's very calm and relaxed with that. Will actually

545
00:30:44.599 --> 00:30:47.839
<v Speaker 6>give him a little back scratch to reinforce him.

546
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:51.599
<v Speaker 2>So it's wrong with nothing wrong with a good backscratch. Christen,

547
00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:54.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm past my break, but this has been a great conversation.

548
00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:59.279
<v Speaker 2>The New England Aquarium everyone knows where it is. Get

549
00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:01.400
<v Speaker 2>out there and now you'll get a chance to look

550
00:31:01.400 --> 00:31:04.960
<v Speaker 2>at the penguins and explain the habitat to your children

551
00:31:05.079 --> 00:31:09.240
<v Speaker 2>or to your guests. But the New England Aquarium something

552
00:31:09.319 --> 00:31:12.279
<v Speaker 2>everyone should in the Boston area should visit at least

553
00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:15.400
<v Speaker 2>every year or so. Thanks so much, Kristin. You're a

554
00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:17.799
<v Speaker 2>font of information and I had a lot of questions

555
00:31:17.880 --> 00:31:19.480
<v Speaker 2>and you answer them all and I thank you very

556
00:31:19.559 --> 00:31:21.559
<v Speaker 2>much for your time tonight, and let's do it again

557
00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:25.200
<v Speaker 2>in the next few weeks and pick up pick up

558
00:31:25.240 --> 00:31:27.680
<v Speaker 2>something else, some other issue dealing with the aquarium. I

559
00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:30.960
<v Speaker 2>love animals, as does my daughter. Thank you so much.

560
00:31:31.680 --> 00:31:32.359
<v Speaker 5>That sounds great.

561
00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:33.119
<v Speaker 6>Thank you, Good night.

562
00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:36.799
<v Speaker 2>Kristin McMahon, the curator pittibeds and penguins at the New

563
00:31:36.799 --> 00:31:39.240
<v Speaker 2>England Aquarium. We come back. We're going to talk about

564
00:31:39.519 --> 00:31:43.319
<v Speaker 2>how can AI be used to increase security, Oh like,

565
00:31:43.519 --> 00:31:47.319
<v Speaker 2>let's say, at a parade in South Boston coming up

566
00:31:47.319 --> 00:31:49.720
<v Speaker 2>this week, and we'll talk about it right after the break.

567
00:31:50.440 --> 00:31:53.559
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

568
00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:56.880
<v Speaker 1>night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.

569
00:31:58.559 --> 00:32:03.359
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back everyone, Big Saint Patrick's Day Parade in Boston

570
00:32:03.400 --> 00:32:06.200
<v Speaker 2>this weekend, in South Boston this weekend. Then every city

571
00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:08.920
<v Speaker 2>has big events during the course of the year, and

572
00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:11.799
<v Speaker 2>of course there are all sorts of the quadrennial events

573
00:32:11.880 --> 00:32:16.440
<v Speaker 2>like the Olympic Games and Championships, Super Bowls, World Series,

574
00:32:16.440 --> 00:32:21.880
<v Speaker 2>and we're becoming more and more concerned about those, you know,

575
00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:28.359
<v Speaker 2>high level activities becoming potentially the target of terrorism. With

576
00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:31.079
<v Speaker 2>US is Mark Jerman. He's the director of public Safety

577
00:32:31.119 --> 00:32:36.039
<v Speaker 2>at a company called Futuri fut U RII. Major cities

578
00:32:36.079 --> 00:32:40.759
<v Speaker 2>now are basically thinking about smart technology to keep celebrations secure.

579
00:32:41.799 --> 00:32:45.519
<v Speaker 2>And of course when you think about new developments, you

580
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:49.440
<v Speaker 2>have to think about artificial intelligence AI. Mark Jerriman, Welcome

581
00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:50.279
<v Speaker 2>to Nights Out. How are you.

582
00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:52.119
<v Speaker 5>Good?

583
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:56.000
<v Speaker 2>Thank you tell us about Futuri. That's the company that

584
00:32:56.039 --> 00:32:58.359
<v Speaker 2>you're a director of public safety. For give us a

585
00:32:58.359 --> 00:33:00.839
<v Speaker 2>little bit of brief on that, and then talk about

586
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:04.200
<v Speaker 2>what you're able to do with AI that was not

587
00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:09.759
<v Speaker 2>even probably anticipated or imagined twenty or twenty five years ago.

588
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:15.000
<v Speaker 3>Well exactly future. He is fifteen years old. It is

589
00:33:15.599 --> 00:33:21.319
<v Speaker 3>a leader in the AI technology, seven thousand partners, twenty

590
00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:25.480
<v Speaker 3>two countries, twenty different patents, and really we focus on

591
00:33:26.039 --> 00:33:29.160
<v Speaker 3>using the latest and most modern technology to enhance the

592
00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:34.839
<v Speaker 3>processes and with Beacon, it really is about transforming emergency

593
00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:36.799
<v Speaker 3>alerts and protecting the public.

594
00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So give us as maybe some if not actual

595
00:33:41.920 --> 00:33:47.359
<v Speaker 2>examples of hypothetical examples of what AI could do at

596
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:49.960
<v Speaker 2>a Super Bowl or a World Series or an Olympic

597
00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:55.599
<v Speaker 2>game this year that never could even been imagined when

598
00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:58.480
<v Speaker 2>the Super Bowl first started in the late nineteen sixties,

599
00:33:58.519 --> 00:34:00.599
<v Speaker 2>so the world series started at three.

600
00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:06.559
<v Speaker 3>Sure, so imagine for a moment we're looking at some

601
00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:10.719
<v Speaker 3>of the most recent stats of FEMA. Seventy three percent

602
00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:14.840
<v Speaker 3>of Americans don't receive alerts in due time. It's an

603
00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:19.800
<v Speaker 3>average delay of twelve minutes. The issue isn't that the

604
00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:24.559
<v Speaker 3>alerting authorities the first responders aren't getting the messaging out.

605
00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:28.960
<v Speaker 3>It's that they're not getting received in time. Our technology

606
00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:30.920
<v Speaker 3>has changed in such a way that people are walking

607
00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:34.639
<v Speaker 3>around with phones in their hands now, So what to

608
00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:38.639
<v Speaker 3>your analogy? Eas system was built in the nineteen seventies

609
00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:41.440
<v Speaker 3>based on two hundred and forty four characters. Now of

610
00:34:41.480 --> 00:34:45.719
<v Speaker 3>a short burst of information at the right time, Unfortunately,

611
00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:48.679
<v Speaker 3>we now live in a digital environment, or or fortunately

612
00:34:48.719 --> 00:34:52.599
<v Speaker 3>we live in a digital environment, and getting that information

613
00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:57.440
<v Speaker 3>out in real time across multi platforms, to multi devices,

614
00:34:57.440 --> 00:35:00.920
<v Speaker 3>in multi languages and being able to geotarget it. That's

615
00:35:01.239 --> 00:35:05.239
<v Speaker 3>what artificial intelligence can do today. It enhances what the

616
00:35:05.480 --> 00:35:08.440
<v Speaker 3>emergency manager's job is and what they're doing.

617
00:35:09.559 --> 00:35:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so you think can get information to people if

618
00:35:13.000 --> 00:35:15.679
<v Speaker 2>there's a tornado coming, or if there's a tsunami coming

619
00:35:15.800 --> 00:35:18.639
<v Speaker 2>or something like that, but also there's a security aspect

620
00:35:18.679 --> 00:35:21.280
<v Speaker 2>of it. So what can you do with for example,

621
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:26.639
<v Speaker 2>drone technology surveying a crowd of fifty sixty one hundred

622
00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:30.360
<v Speaker 2>thousand people that never could have been contemplated even a

623
00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:31.159
<v Speaker 2>few years ago.

624
00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:36.920
<v Speaker 3>So with what we do with Beacon, that getting that

625
00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:41.079
<v Speaker 3>information out to the public in real time is the

626
00:35:41.119 --> 00:35:44.039
<v Speaker 3>focus and what we do meant I'll use the example

627
00:35:44.079 --> 00:35:47.199
<v Speaker 3>of the LA fires. You know, we have a major

628
00:35:47.239 --> 00:35:51.800
<v Speaker 3>situation going on. Sheriff's Department has one hundred and fifty

629
00:35:51.840 --> 00:35:56.639
<v Speaker 3>six different alerting authorities with all of that information. Unfortunately,

630
00:35:56.679 --> 00:35:59.320
<v Speaker 3>what happens is there isn't a coordinated effort to get

631
00:35:59.360 --> 00:36:01.840
<v Speaker 3>the right information now to the right people. So if

632
00:36:01.840 --> 00:36:05.320
<v Speaker 3>you're using drones and your example, and you have access

633
00:36:05.360 --> 00:36:08.360
<v Speaker 3>to the right information, you can enter that information once

634
00:36:08.840 --> 00:36:12.239
<v Speaker 3>geo target to a very specific area, and most importantly,

635
00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:16.400
<v Speaker 3>you're not limited to that short burst of information. You

636
00:36:16.440 --> 00:36:20.119
<v Speaker 3>can tell the story specifically, get the information out, get

637
00:36:20.159 --> 00:36:22.519
<v Speaker 3>it into people's hands, immediately, tell them where they need

638
00:36:22.519 --> 00:36:23.920
<v Speaker 3>to go, how they need to get there.

639
00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:28.199
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So one of the things that I know there

640
00:36:28.239 --> 00:36:32.719
<v Speaker 2>was a lot of controversy of several years ago facial recognition,

641
00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:36.440
<v Speaker 2>and they tried to run that at Super Bowls, So

642
00:36:36.519 --> 00:36:39.280
<v Speaker 2>they were looking for people who would be problematic. Have

643
00:36:39.400 --> 00:36:43.360
<v Speaker 2>we gone past that? Is that already old school facial recognition?

644
00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:49.280
<v Speaker 3>Well, that's so I mentioned now the life cycle of

645
00:36:49.840 --> 00:36:53.280
<v Speaker 3>an emergency event, right there is the before the prevention moment,

646
00:36:53.519 --> 00:36:57.079
<v Speaker 3>there is the reactive in the moment, and then there's

647
00:36:57.119 --> 00:37:01.760
<v Speaker 3>the remediation moment following. What the technology is available today,

648
00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:04.119
<v Speaker 3>it allows you to handle those moments in different times.

649
00:37:04.119 --> 00:37:06.719
<v Speaker 3>You're talking about preventing a moment and being able to

650
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:11.000
<v Speaker 3>get that information that that gets that allows the emergency

651
00:37:11.079 --> 00:37:15.320
<v Speaker 3>management teams to be in front of an event, you know,

652
00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:19.480
<v Speaker 3>when you're talking about tornadoes or you're talking about hurricanes. Sure, different,

653
00:37:19.599 --> 00:37:22.719
<v Speaker 3>different type of element of of how you're using and

654
00:37:22.719 --> 00:37:25.239
<v Speaker 3>that's what that's what really Beacon focuses on. It's the

655
00:37:25.280 --> 00:37:29.000
<v Speaker 3>ability to get that information out in real time to

656
00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:30.039
<v Speaker 3>the people that need moment.

657
00:37:30.119 --> 00:37:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and again you keep saying, Beacon, is this a

658
00:37:34.039 --> 00:37:36.880
<v Speaker 2>different company that you work in conjunction.

659
00:37:36.440 --> 00:37:38.800
<v Speaker 3>With the can part of future technology?

660
00:37:39.480 --> 00:37:39.800
<v Speaker 2>Gotcha?

661
00:37:39.840 --> 00:37:40.119
<v Speaker 5>Okay?

662
00:37:40.199 --> 00:37:43.119
<v Speaker 2>And it is sure that I just want to make

663
00:37:43.119 --> 00:37:45.400
<v Speaker 2>sure my audience understands and they don't get lost in

664
00:37:45.519 --> 00:37:49.519
<v Speaker 2>the in the situation, so you are not necessarily saying Okay,

665
00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:52.880
<v Speaker 2>if there's somebody coming to an event with bad intent,

666
00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:56.239
<v Speaker 2>we have an ability to pick them up. But if

667
00:37:56.239 --> 00:37:58.480
<v Speaker 2>there's a hurricane comment or if there's a there's an

668
00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:01.920
<v Speaker 2>earthquake which produces a suit mei uh, and there's a

669
00:38:01.960 --> 00:38:04.800
<v Speaker 2>little bit of time to let people know to get

670
00:38:04.800 --> 00:38:06.760
<v Speaker 2>either to get to high ground or get into the

671
00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:09.840
<v Speaker 2>get into the hurricane and get into the tornado cellar.

672
00:38:10.320 --> 00:38:15.639
<v Speaker 2>That's where your technology is going to save lives.

673
00:38:15.719 --> 00:38:18.480
<v Speaker 3>And imagine if you will, and actually the real life

674
00:38:18.840 --> 00:38:23.199
<v Speaker 3>scenario last summer with Hurricane Milton, you have to evacuate

675
00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:26.039
<v Speaker 3>an area of the size of Tampa. But being able

676
00:38:26.039 --> 00:38:29.400
<v Speaker 3>to use technology in a sense of allowing one zone

677
00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:31.159
<v Speaker 3>to go and then a second zone to go and

678
00:38:31.199 --> 00:38:33.480
<v Speaker 3>a third zone to go, and being able to direct

679
00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:37.920
<v Speaker 3>people very specifically with depth in depth information on how

680
00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:40.400
<v Speaker 3>to go, it allows that to be a much smoother,

681
00:38:41.079 --> 00:38:45.320
<v Speaker 3>a much safer a moment in the life cycle of

682
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:45.719
<v Speaker 3>the event.

683
00:38:46.639 --> 00:38:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Perfect. Perfect. So, Mark, how can folks who want to

684
00:38:50.480 --> 00:38:53.519
<v Speaker 2>be more interested in this, I'm not sure who your

685
00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:57.760
<v Speaker 2>either constituents or consumers are. How can folks get more

686
00:38:57.760 --> 00:38:59.880
<v Speaker 2>information or get in touch with you?

687
00:38:59.840 --> 00:39:05.159
<v Speaker 3>You so Beacon always on dot com is available to

688
00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:08.840
<v Speaker 3>give more information. Uh, we can also go to info

689
00:39:08.920 --> 00:39:11.840
<v Speaker 3>at Beacon always on dot com. Either websites will be

690
00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:14.039
<v Speaker 3>able to give you more detail on what we do

691
00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:14.760
<v Speaker 3>and how we do it.

692
00:39:15.280 --> 00:39:19.519
<v Speaker 2>Okay, For some reason, my notes say fetories, So that's

693
00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:22.800
<v Speaker 2>why I have been referencing futory and any confusion that

694
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:25.400
<v Speaker 2>I might have caused, I apologize for. Just give us

695
00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:27.280
<v Speaker 2>that web those websites one more time.

696
00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:32.880
<v Speaker 3>It's Beacon always on dot com and info at Beacon

697
00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:34.400
<v Speaker 3>always on dot com.

698
00:39:34.440 --> 00:39:39.199
<v Speaker 2>Perfect. Okay, Mark, thank you very much. Interesting development. Sounds

699
00:39:39.199 --> 00:39:41.639
<v Speaker 2>like a company that is really up and running. A

700
00:39:41.679 --> 00:39:45.280
<v Speaker 2>lot of the AI stuff seems to be on the horizon.

701
00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Sounds to me like you're here now. So thank you

702
00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:50.199
<v Speaker 2>very much for joining us tonight and being here now.

703
00:39:50.559 --> 00:39:55.199
<v Speaker 2>Mark Jarmansure Beacon. Thanks, Mark, appreciate it very much. All Right,

704
00:39:55.239 --> 00:39:58.159
<v Speaker 2>when we get back, we will get to the matters

705
00:39:58.199 --> 00:40:00.320
<v Speaker 2>at hand. We're going to talk with the pre is

706
00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:05.280
<v Speaker 2>the Animal Rescue League of Boston about pets and pets

707
00:40:05.320 --> 00:40:07.960
<v Speaker 2>being housed and what might be able to be done

708
00:40:08.239 --> 00:40:11.880
<v Speaker 2>to actually make it easier for people, particularly people maybe

709
00:40:11.880 --> 00:40:15.159
<v Speaker 2>who do not have a lot of money, to be

710
00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:17.679
<v Speaker 2>able to have a pet, and to house a pet

711
00:40:18.519 --> 00:40:21.239
<v Speaker 2>with them, not only for companionship, but for safety and

712
00:40:21.320 --> 00:40:25.079
<v Speaker 2>comfort of animals other than that spend time in animal shelters.

713
00:40:25.079 --> 00:40:28.360
<v Speaker 2>We'll explain it all right after this news break at

714
00:40:28.360 --> 00:40:29.880
<v Speaker 2>the top of the hour one night side
