00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:06.320
<v Speaker 1>It's Night Side with Dan Ray on WBSY, Boston's news radio.

2
00:00:08.039 --> 00:00:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Nicole, thank you very much. As always, this chili weather continues.

3
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.720
<v Speaker 2>I got to tell you something, all this chilly weather,

4
00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:16.519
<v Speaker 2>we may have a storm coming. I don't know it's

5
00:00:16.519 --> 00:00:19.359
<v Speaker 2>going to be necessarily this weekend, but just as someone

6
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:22.280
<v Speaker 2>has been around New England for a while, it concerns me.

7
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:25.839
<v Speaker 2>It concerns me. We will spend us some time later

8
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:29.440
<v Speaker 2>on tonight talking about, well, we're going to deal with

9
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:32.799
<v Speaker 2>Harvey Silverglade is going to join us, the great Civil

10
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:36.719
<v Speaker 2>Liberties Union lawyer, great friend, a friend of the First Amendment,

11
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:40.799
<v Speaker 2>and we're going to talk tonight with Harvey Silverglate about

12
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:44.799
<v Speaker 2>whether or not the government should be able to do

13
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:48.719
<v Speaker 2>more to monitor some of the extremist websites out there.

14
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:51.200
<v Speaker 2>And I don't care whether it's an ISIS website or

15
00:00:51.240 --> 00:00:55.679
<v Speaker 2>a Kitty Pown website or ku klux Klan website. I

16
00:00:55.719 --> 00:01:00.399
<v Speaker 2>think that if people go to those locations to move,

17
00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:02.960
<v Speaker 2>for our law enforcement people to try to figure out

18
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:06.840
<v Speaker 2>they're becoming radicalized. And then later on we will talk

19
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:12.799
<v Speaker 2>about the funeral today in the passing of Jimmy Carter,

20
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:15.519
<v Speaker 2>a president who I got to know fairly well. And

21
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:17.359
<v Speaker 2>I have some Jimmy Carter stories, and I hope some

22
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:21.439
<v Speaker 2>of you have some Jimmy Carter stories as well. That's

23
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:23.760
<v Speaker 2>what's on the agenda for the night. We might get

24
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:25.799
<v Speaker 2>also to a breaking news story here there. And we

25
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:28.879
<v Speaker 2>have a four very interesting guests coming up, and we're

26
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:33.920
<v Speaker 2>going to start off with Paula Sebastiani. She's a doctorate.

27
00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:36.200
<v Speaker 2>She has a doctorate. She's the director of the Center

28
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:40.480
<v Speaker 2>for Quantitative Methods and Data Science at Toughts Medical Center.

29
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:45.159
<v Speaker 2>So it's actually doctor Sebastiani, and we're going to talk

30
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:49.920
<v Speaker 2>about why Celery, doc Chell, what Celery, dark Chocolate and

31
00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:52.400
<v Speaker 2>Parsley may have in common. And I'm going to tell you,

32
00:01:52.879 --> 00:01:56.760
<v Speaker 2>doctor Sebastiani, I love Celery and salad and I love

33
00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:59.359
<v Speaker 2>doc Chocolate, and as I understand it, those are good

34
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.000
<v Speaker 2>things for you. Tell us about it. May you're going

35
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:03.640
<v Speaker 2>to be able to maybe give us the secrets of

36
00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.239
<v Speaker 2>a longer life. Welcome to Night Side.

37
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.639
<v Speaker 3>Thank you very much for inviting me. And yes, I

38
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:15.919
<v Speaker 3>hope to trigger some curiosity about this. So the story

39
00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:20.479
<v Speaker 3>about behind the Dark Chocolate and Parsley and Celery is

40
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:26.400
<v Speaker 3>that we study centenarians. And we have a study centenarians

41
00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:29.560
<v Speaker 3>for many years. We have collected many, many days about them,

42
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:35.199
<v Speaker 3>including blood, and we'll measure some we call them biomarkers,

43
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:39.039
<v Speaker 3>some biomarkers in blood that show what these people have,

44
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:43.240
<v Speaker 3>these different compared to younger individuals. And then we founded

45
00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:48.439
<v Speaker 3>in many centenarians there are markers that suggest they have

46
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:53.759
<v Speaker 3>nutrition that is healthy and in particular includes products from

47
00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:58.840
<v Speaker 3>salary party and dark chocolate. And the level of nutrition

48
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:02.680
<v Speaker 3>is comparable to young people. So the ipolies this is

49
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:07.759
<v Speaker 3>not still evidence, but the ipologies that maybe these nutrients

50
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:13.960
<v Speaker 3>can help people age. Well, yeah, you'll like chocolate.

51
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:17.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I loved I loved dark chocolate, love all sorts

52
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:21.199
<v Speaker 2>of chocolate. But there's also you know, you know, people

53
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:25.000
<v Speaker 2>have heard about the Mediterranean diet and and I know

54
00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:28.439
<v Speaker 2>that we always get conflict the information. So a couple

55
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:31.520
<v Speaker 2>of weeks ago, the Surgeon General's warning us that too much,

56
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:34.639
<v Speaker 2>well alcohol, any amounts of alcohol are bad for you.

57
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:39.599
<v Speaker 2>And yet I've always thought that a lot of folks

58
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:42.479
<v Speaker 2>in your field and in the medical community as a whole,

59
00:03:43.080 --> 00:03:46.439
<v Speaker 2>will tell you that things like red wine actually are

60
00:03:46.520 --> 00:03:49.240
<v Speaker 2>not bad for you. No, obviously we're not talking about

61
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.919
<v Speaker 2>ten glasses of red wine at night. But you know,

62
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:57.199
<v Speaker 2>sometimes the food charts and the food pyramids get inverted.

63
00:03:57.240 --> 00:03:59.759
<v Speaker 2>It seems in one year of this saying drink this

64
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:03.000
<v Speaker 2>to eat that, and the next year they're changing their minds.

65
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:09.240
<v Speaker 2>How long has celery, dark chocolate, and parsley been considered positives?

66
00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:10.400
<v Speaker 2>Is this a new development?

67
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:15.599
<v Speaker 3>We knew something about dark chocolate, but the salary and

68
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:19.399
<v Speaker 3>partly this is evidence that is coming out now. But

69
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:22.759
<v Speaker 3>the difference between the study that I have done in

70
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.600
<v Speaker 3>collaboration with many people, it's not just me collaboration with

71
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:29.160
<v Speaker 3>many people, is that it's based on markets that you

72
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:31.439
<v Speaker 3>have in the blood. It's not based on what you

73
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:35.759
<v Speaker 3>report that you are eating. And markets in the blood

74
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:41.319
<v Speaker 3>don't lie. So it's pretty strong evidence, but of course

75
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:44.360
<v Speaker 3>it has to be validated. And we're not saying, oh,

76
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:46.079
<v Speaker 3>you have to eat a lot of dark chocolate or

77
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.360
<v Speaker 3>eat a lot of calories every day. We have to

78
00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:52.800
<v Speaker 3>also understand what is a good balance in your diet.

79
00:04:54.120 --> 00:04:56.959
<v Speaker 2>So do you have thoughts on red wine? Because I

80
00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:58.600
<v Speaker 2>know a lot of people who are listening. We don't

81
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:02.279
<v Speaker 2>get a chance to talk to folks with your background

82
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:05.680
<v Speaker 2>and your knowledge often and I'm just wondering because we

83
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:08.959
<v Speaker 2>have the surge in general earlier earlier, well, I guess

84
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.279
<v Speaker 2>it was late last week saying you know, any use

85
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:17.360
<v Speaker 2>of alcohol and wine is a negative, and that's kind

86
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:20.680
<v Speaker 2>of a change in what the government's position has been. Obviously.

87
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:23.319
<v Speaker 3>Well, I was kind of yeah, I was kind of

88
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:27.399
<v Speaker 3>disappointed to hear the news. But the evidence that has

89
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:29.399
<v Speaker 3>been in the field for a long time is that

90
00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:32.439
<v Speaker 3>there is a substance in red wine that is actually

91
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:38.160
<v Speaker 3>someone that enhanced your longevity. The question is how much

92
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:41.279
<v Speaker 3>of the substance you have to drink to use every day.

93
00:05:41.720 --> 00:05:47.319
<v Speaker 3>But I would be careful with this conclusions set are

94
00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:53.199
<v Speaker 3>not based on really biomaster in the in the in

95
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:56.879
<v Speaker 3>the body, and that this is veratrol is the substance

96
00:05:56.920 --> 00:05:59.160
<v Speaker 3>in the red the red wine is actually one of

97
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:03.000
<v Speaker 3>these chemicals have dis tested. There are many studies looking

98
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:07.759
<v Speaker 3>at the effects of these medicals on extending lifepun and longevity.

99
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.519
<v Speaker 3>So I will still drink a glass of red wine

100
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:11.800
<v Speaker 3>a day.

101
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:16.800
<v Speaker 2>That's encouraging, And I suspect there's probably some folks out

102
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:18.800
<v Speaker 2>there tonight who are listening and who are willing to

103
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:22.480
<v Speaker 2>drink a glass of red wine. Well, look, thank you

104
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:26.240
<v Speaker 2>very much for this so dark chocolate. I must tell

105
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:29.480
<v Speaker 2>you that a doctor who I highly respect, one of

106
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:34.959
<v Speaker 2>my doctors, actually on his own, recommended to me dark chocolate,

107
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:39.519
<v Speaker 2>and I after every dinner at night, have a couple

108
00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:41.360
<v Speaker 2>of little pieces of dark.

109
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:43.680
<v Speaker 3>Chocolate, and I do the same.

110
00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:44.720
<v Speaker 4>I do the same.

111
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all right, well I ever have you over for dinner.

112
00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:51.879
<v Speaker 2>Maybe we'll have some red wine and some dark chocolate.

113
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:56.040
<v Speaker 3>Okay, that sounds like a good fun Thank you.

114
00:06:56.079 --> 00:07:00.560
<v Speaker 2>Very much, doctor Paula Sebastiani, Director of the Center for

125
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:36.160
<v Speaker 2>to Facebook, how can they, if not beat the addiction,

<v Speaker 2>on WBZ News Radio. With us is doctor Donald Grant.

152
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:08.039
<v Speaker 2>He's a national advisor on healthy device management and Newport Healthcare,

153
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:10.840
<v Speaker 2>and he's going to talk to us how people can

154
00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:14.399
<v Speaker 2>cut down on screen time. Doctor Grant. I gotta tell you,

155
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:18.639
<v Speaker 2>I think everybody I know has some level of addiction

156
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:21.879
<v Speaker 2>to the Internet and to screen time. All those stupid

157
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.200
<v Speaker 2>funny videos thirty seconds long, people you know, jumping off

158
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.840
<v Speaker 2>of cliffs into the water and ending up and paled

159
00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.879
<v Speaker 2>on tree branches. You just got to keep watching them,

160
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:34.200
<v Speaker 2>and they are addictive. How are you tonight?

161
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.879
<v Speaker 5>I'm all right, Dan, Thanks so much for having me.

162
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.360
<v Speaker 5>And yes, yes, and yes, it's a real problem all

163
00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:42.080
<v Speaker 5>my work.

164
00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:45.360
<v Speaker 2>No, it's a real problem. You know. I'm a big

165
00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:48.320
<v Speaker 2>sports guy, and so if I see something that pops up,

166
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, the twenty stupidest plays in baseball, you know,

167
00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:54.639
<v Speaker 2>I start to want to say, yeah, I remember that player.

168
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:57.720
<v Speaker 2>I never remember that, And you know it's innocent. We're

169
00:09:57.799 --> 00:10:00.600
<v Speaker 2>not talking about porn here, but we're talking about you know,

170
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:03.519
<v Speaker 2>there's that there are some comedians now who are funny.

171
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:08.399
<v Speaker 2>There's that you that you listen and you know, I

172
00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:10.600
<v Speaker 2>just wish, to some extent we could just get rid

173
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:13.399
<v Speaker 2>of it. I mean physically get rid of it. Do

174
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.519
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying. I mean, I hear you.

175
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:19.240
<v Speaker 5>I hear this a lot. But I've got some news

176
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:22.320
<v Speaker 5>that you know, it's not going anywhere. And as you've seen,

177
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:25.120
<v Speaker 5>and those of us who you know, we're maybe the

178
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:28.320
<v Speaker 5>I'm a digital immigrant. I'm one of the last generations

179
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:30.480
<v Speaker 5>of digital immigrants. Stand I'm a gen x er, so

180
00:10:30.559 --> 00:10:32.720
<v Speaker 5>this all came, you know, at some point in my life.

181
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:36.480
<v Speaker 5>But I'm the father of the first generations of digital natives.

182
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:38.720
<v Speaker 5>So I watched this, and you know, I work with

183
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:41.799
<v Speaker 5>kids and young adults, and you know, I see the impact.

184
00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:45.279
<v Speaker 5>It's only going to increase. And I think even if

185
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:48.840
<v Speaker 5>we look over the last several years, my refrigerator now

186
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:50.960
<v Speaker 5>can have a screen, which I don't know that that's

187
00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:55.399
<v Speaker 5>a great idea, but this but they're winning because what

188
00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:57.240
<v Speaker 5>we're now learning and those of us who do what

189
00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:59.720
<v Speaker 5>I do, Dad, we've known this. This is I've been

190
00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:03.440
<v Speaker 5>doing about fourteen fifteen years looking at this and investigating

191
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:06.639
<v Speaker 5>and researching it across all of the you know, the

192
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:12.360
<v Speaker 5>silos that digital engagement can occur. And now we're learning

193
00:11:12.440 --> 00:11:14.960
<v Speaker 5>and the public is learning what those of us who

194
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:16.639
<v Speaker 5>do what I do have known for a long time

195
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:19.559
<v Speaker 5>have been trying to tell you all. The game is

196
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:22.519
<v Speaker 5>gamed against us. You know, the creators and the producers

197
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.600
<v Speaker 5>of these things have used psychology and some you know

198
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:30.039
<v Speaker 5>flaws in something in our Olympics system to keep us,

199
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:32.559
<v Speaker 5>you know, as you said, addicted. We can't really call

200
00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:35.200
<v Speaker 5>it addicted yet because it's not really the rest of

201
00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:39.440
<v Speaker 5>the world has. There's some some you know, gaming and

202
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:41.240
<v Speaker 5>certain things in the other in the rest of the

203
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:44.720
<v Speaker 5>world has been identified and classified as addiction. But we

204
00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:46.080
<v Speaker 5>all know what it is. And I just want to

205
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:49.720
<v Speaker 5>be clear. I am not anti devices. I am not

206
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.519
<v Speaker 5>anti information and entertainment that's digitally driven, and I'm not

207
00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.440
<v Speaker 5>anti social media. And even if I were, I'm an

208
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:02.039
<v Speaker 5>i'd be an endangered But it's really, like I said,

209
00:12:02.039 --> 00:12:04.399
<v Speaker 5>I teach healthy device management and the practice of got

210
00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:06.320
<v Speaker 5>digital citizenship. It's all about balance.

211
00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:10.000
<v Speaker 2>But here's my question. Okay, I got two questions. One sure,

212
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:13.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm a talk show host, so I have on Facebook

213
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:16.200
<v Speaker 2>side I'm on an X, which used to be Twitter.

214
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:18.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm on Instagram. People can find me. I want people

215
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:20.240
<v Speaker 2>to follow me. I want to be able to get

216
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.000
<v Speaker 2>information out about my show.

217
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:22.720
<v Speaker 4>Of course.

218
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:24.879
<v Speaker 2>And when you when all of a sudden you're looking

219
00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:27.679
<v Speaker 2>at you know, well, the hockey fights. It takes something

220
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:31.440
<v Speaker 2>that's simple. There's no advertising with it. It's just people

221
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.360
<v Speaker 2>are throwing up these reels of twenty minutes of hockey fights,

222
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:39.039
<v Speaker 2>and it's the sort of stuff you just or car crashes.

223
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:41.879
<v Speaker 2>You know, we all can't. You have to watch the

224
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:44.879
<v Speaker 2>car crashes. How are they making money on it because

225
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:47.840
<v Speaker 2>there's no advertising, they're just throwing stuff up there.

226
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:52.120
<v Speaker 5>Well, okay, so this is where I talk about this

227
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:54.919
<v Speaker 5>a lot. It's a great point. There's two things you said,

228
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:57.120
<v Speaker 5>and the first time'm going to address is for just

229
00:12:57.159 --> 00:13:00.879
<v Speaker 5>about everyone. I'm just going to let everyone know. If

230
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:04.960
<v Speaker 5>it's free, you're the product. So when you say there's

231
00:13:04.960 --> 00:13:08.039
<v Speaker 5>no advertising, there actually is. And it depends on the platform.

232
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:12.279
<v Speaker 5>But these producers and these creators and meta and X

233
00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:16.480
<v Speaker 5>and they're not just providing a public service, so there

234
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:19.399
<v Speaker 5>are always that they monetize it. And these have to

235
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:22.720
<v Speaker 5>do with algorithms and pushing products and pushing ads. So

236
00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:26.240
<v Speaker 5>none of it is just free. And that's what people

237
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:30.200
<v Speaker 5>don't understand because they think that, oh gosh, it's just there.

238
00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:33.480
<v Speaker 5>But here's what I also want to share with you,

239
00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:38.639
<v Speaker 5>because certainly your role and your career and your job

240
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:45.039
<v Speaker 5>requires you to be a consumer of information. So in

241
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:47.799
<v Speaker 5>your case, yes, you do need to know what's going on.

242
00:13:47.879 --> 00:13:50.039
<v Speaker 5>You need to no code events, and that is not

243
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:53.320
<v Speaker 5>including your outside interest in your personal life. And there's

244
00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:55.000
<v Speaker 5>a lot of people and I'm one of them. I mean,

245
00:13:55.080 --> 00:13:56.960
<v Speaker 5>I have to spend a lot of time every day

246
00:13:57.039 --> 00:14:00.639
<v Speaker 5>keeping up with everything digital, whether it's the late trends

247
00:14:00.679 --> 00:14:05.480
<v Speaker 5>on TikTok, whether it's you know, current events, legislation. So

248
00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:07.639
<v Speaker 5>that's where it kind of gets tricky for someone like you.

249
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:10.600
<v Speaker 5>But here's who might help you and your listeners. I

250
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:12.879
<v Speaker 5>came up with these. These are mine. I came up

251
00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:16.480
<v Speaker 5>with a really, you know, kind of simple self assessment

252
00:14:16.799 --> 00:14:19.679
<v Speaker 5>and your listeners and no one has to tell anyone,

253
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:22.720
<v Speaker 5>but just be regulously honest with yourself. If you're starting

254
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:26.120
<v Speaker 5>to feel like maybe you're a little too drawn in,

255
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:28.799
<v Speaker 5>and once you by the way, once you get lowered in,

256
00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:32.480
<v Speaker 5>you're we're all done. I mean, it's it's they get

257
00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:34.600
<v Speaker 5>us in there. And then there's all the clickbaits and

258
00:14:34.639 --> 00:14:36.960
<v Speaker 5>all the things you're talking about in the auto play.

259
00:14:37.039 --> 00:14:39.039
<v Speaker 5>We'll talk about that maybe in a minute. But here's

260
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:42.799
<v Speaker 5>just a little self assessment. And it's from the old school.

261
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.279
<v Speaker 5>Remember the old five w's is in an h Remember

262
00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:47.039
<v Speaker 5>that from school?

263
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:50.440
<v Speaker 2>They all thought dubs, who, what? When?

264
00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:50.639
<v Speaker 4>Where?

265
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Why?

266
00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:57.200
<v Speaker 5>So here's what I came up with. So I suggest

267
00:14:57.480 --> 00:15:00.639
<v Speaker 5>and ask people and invite them just go through these

268
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:05.120
<v Speaker 5>in your mind. When you're engaged with any devices, go

269
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:10.360
<v Speaker 5>through these questions. Why are you engaging? What are you

270
00:15:10.480 --> 00:15:14.360
<v Speaker 5>doing on the device? Sure, where are you using the device?

271
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:18.679
<v Speaker 5>When are you engaging with the device? Who are you

272
00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:22.879
<v Speaker 5>engaging with through the device? And how are you engaging

273
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:26.120
<v Speaker 5>or not? And when I say device is I'm really

274
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:29.200
<v Speaker 5>looking at, you know, anything that can deliver Internet driven

275
00:15:29.279 --> 00:15:32.080
<v Speaker 5>content or social media or news or the videos you're

276
00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:35.240
<v Speaker 5>talking about. So that's just a little self assessment that

277
00:15:35.279 --> 00:15:36.600
<v Speaker 5>I say, you know, just go through it. And if

278
00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:39.240
<v Speaker 5>you find that the answers might be a little bit

279
00:15:39.559 --> 00:15:45.320
<v Speaker 5>maybe that's not healthy, that's problematic, that's interfering or subjugating

280
00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:47.039
<v Speaker 5>some other things I need to do. Then you might

281
00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:49.639
<v Speaker 5>want to look at maybe making some even small changes.

282
00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. What I'm talking about is, look, I know a

283
00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:54.120
<v Speaker 2>lot of people get drawn in to this stuff, and

284
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:57.120
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of stuff that's dangerous on the internet.

285
00:15:57.240 --> 00:15:59.159
<v Speaker 5>Okay, but I'm for the kids.

286
00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:03.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm talking about absolutely, But I'm talking about the senseless stuff.

287
00:16:03.159 --> 00:16:05.720
<v Speaker 2>Meaning again, I'll look at a reel and you know,

288
00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:08.440
<v Speaker 2>say that you know the ten greatest hockey fights. So

289
00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:11.080
<v Speaker 2>I was a hockey player, uh, and you know I

290
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:13.720
<v Speaker 2>know most of many of these guys who are in

291
00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:16.679
<v Speaker 2>the league, and you know, I wanted to go to

292
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:20.000
<v Speaker 2>include one from this guy or that guy, or you know,

293
00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:24.279
<v Speaker 2>the ten goofiest plays in baseball whatever. I mean. There's

294
00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:28.600
<v Speaker 2>there's I'm not talking about weird stuff. I'm talking about

295
00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:31.759
<v Speaker 2>very normal stuff. There's there's a couple of comedians who

296
00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:35.120
<v Speaker 2>when I see it, I'll click on them because they're funny.

297
00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:39.759
<v Speaker 2>They're just funny comedians. And you need you need the

298
00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:45.279
<v Speaker 2>discipline to say, okay, I'm out, I'm out. And I

299
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:47.519
<v Speaker 2>just think it's a real problem. And I think it's

300
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:50.919
<v Speaker 2>a real problem for a lot more people than realize it.

301
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:54.440
<v Speaker 2>And so I thank you for what you do. Doctor

302
00:16:54.519 --> 00:16:56.440
<v Speaker 2>grant and I'd love to have you back, and maybe

303
00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:58.960
<v Speaker 2>we'll have you on some night for an hour and

304
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:01.000
<v Speaker 2>take some phone call from listeners.

305
00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:03.879
<v Speaker 5>I would love I would love to do that, and

306
00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:05.880
<v Speaker 5>I just want to also just at the end, and

307
00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:10.240
<v Speaker 5>there's nothing wrong with what you're talking about, because that's entertainment.

308
00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:12.160
<v Speaker 5>That's you know, people sit down at night and watch

309
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:15.079
<v Speaker 5>four hours and sitcoms. It's about what you said, it's

310
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:17.680
<v Speaker 5>about the balance, and it's about once you're in it,

311
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:21.240
<v Speaker 5>are they auto suggesting and can you get out of it?

312
00:17:21.359 --> 00:17:24.160
<v Speaker 5>Or are you finding four hours later you've watched fifty

313
00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:27.960
<v Speaker 5>thousand you know sports flaws and you don't remember any

314
00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:28.200
<v Speaker 5>of them?

315
00:17:28.279 --> 00:17:28.519
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

316
00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:32.599
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, no question, no question. We'll get in touch with

317
00:17:32.759 --> 00:17:34.839
<v Speaker 2>your folks. By the way, you're with a group called

318
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:36.079
<v Speaker 2>Newport Healthcare.

319
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:38.559
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I'm the national advisor.

320
00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:39.640
<v Speaker 4>Sorry.

321
00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:42.880
<v Speaker 2>If people have problems or feel they're truly addicted to

322
00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:48.480
<v Speaker 2>this stuff, does Newport Healthcare provide any help or tell

323
00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:51.039
<v Speaker 2>us about very quickly because I'm running out of time.

324
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:57.079
<v Speaker 2>Sure what what can people avail themselves off through Newport Healthcare? Well?

325
00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:01.720
<v Speaker 5>Newport Healthcare is a national healthcare program that really provides

326
00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:05.799
<v Speaker 5>mental health treatment for adolescence and young adults. But there

327
00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:08.359
<v Speaker 5>are a lot of resources. In fact, I was just

328
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:11.799
<v Speaker 5>putting one together. There's some resources on our website. I've

329
00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:15.160
<v Speaker 5>been able to work on some great projects, so there's

330
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:19.119
<v Speaker 5>resources that can be provided. It's not necessarily you know,

331
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:21.559
<v Speaker 5>if you call and you say, I have an individual problem,

332
00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:25.319
<v Speaker 5>but if they contact Newport, then either me or someone

333
00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:28.119
<v Speaker 5>else can maybe either help or guide them to the

334
00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:30.200
<v Speaker 5>correct recess because there's a lot of people doing great

335
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:34.000
<v Speaker 5>work in this area and everybody's digital issues are different.

336
00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:37.279
<v Speaker 2>Sounds great, sounds great. My producer will get back to

337
00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:39.599
<v Speaker 2>your folks and we'll do an hour something that because

338
00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:40.680
<v Speaker 2>I think this is Oh.

339
00:18:40.599 --> 00:18:42.279
<v Speaker 5>That would love that, that would be really good. We

340
00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:44.319
<v Speaker 5>could get and we could take some calls and that'd

341
00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:44.680
<v Speaker 5>be great.

342
00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, these segments that we do here in the eight

343
00:18:46.440 --> 00:18:48.519
<v Speaker 2>o'clock out is for them. So they're all about seven, eight,

344
00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:51.400
<v Speaker 2>nine minutes long, and it's great for an interview and

345
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:54.480
<v Speaker 2>it gives me a great idea to a sense as

346
00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:56.599
<v Speaker 2>to who might be a really good guest for an

347
00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:59.240
<v Speaker 2>hour show with callers. And I think you fit that criteria,

348
00:18:59.319 --> 00:18:59.839
<v Speaker 2>so we'll be there.

349
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:03.240
<v Speaker 5>Oh I appreciate that. Yeah, let's try to help some

350
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:06.000
<v Speaker 5>people who may be struggling and maybe getting caught up

351
00:19:06.039 --> 00:19:09.400
<v Speaker 5>in some doom scrolling. And then four o'clock in the morning,

352
00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:11.839
<v Speaker 5>like I said, they don't remember what they watched and

353
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:13.759
<v Speaker 5>they've got to be up for work in two hours.

354
00:19:13.839 --> 00:19:15.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you got it. Well, that takes us to our

355
00:19:15.519 --> 00:19:18.079
<v Speaker 2>next topic. On the other side of the news, We're

356
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:20.440
<v Speaker 2>going to talk about zombie employees. So those could be

357
00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:20.839
<v Speaker 2>some of the.

358
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:24.759
<v Speaker 4>Maybe this is the reason why some of them are.

359
00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:27.440
<v Speaker 2>It's a perfect segue, as we say, of the business.

360
00:19:27.599 --> 00:19:31.200
<v Speaker 2>You're welcome, Jactor Grant, Thank you very much, Don Grant,

361
00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:33.359
<v Speaker 2>thank you them here great, thank you very much of

362
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:35.839
<v Speaker 2>Newport Healthcare. Coming right back. When a little long with him,

363
00:19:35.839 --> 00:19:37.240
<v Speaker 2>but I think it's going to be worth it when

364
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:39.480
<v Speaker 2>we have him on for an hour. Coming back on Nightside,

365
00:19:40.240 --> 00:19:43.960
<v Speaker 2>you are you a zombie employee? I don't want anyone

366
00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:46.440
<v Speaker 2>ever think I'm a zombie employee because I am anything

367
00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:48.680
<v Speaker 2>but that. We'll be back on Nightside right after this.

368
00:19:50.440 --> 00:19:54.680
<v Speaker 1>You're on night Side with Dan Ray on WBS Boston's

369
00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:55.359
<v Speaker 1>news radio.

370
00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:01.279
<v Speaker 2>Well, here's a depressing subject. Zombie employees. Just one in

371
00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:06.000
<v Speaker 2>five workers thriving at work with us as David Allcott.

372
00:20:06.039 --> 00:20:13.039
<v Speaker 2>He's a workplace expert CEO of Samurai Success at international Executive,

373
00:20:13.200 --> 00:20:18.119
<v Speaker 2>organizational and personal coaching firm headquarters in Denver, Colorado. Got

374
00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:20.480
<v Speaker 2>me snow out there yet, David Allcott? How are you going?

375
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:23.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing well, Dan, Thanks so much for having me

376
00:20:23.559 --> 00:20:25.839
<v Speaker 1>on the show. And yes, we're having some pretty good

377
00:20:25.880 --> 00:20:26.839
<v Speaker 1>snow going on here.

378
00:20:27.200 --> 00:20:28.920
<v Speaker 2>Are you really literally as we're.

379
00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:31.599
<v Speaker 1>Speaking, Yes, we're speaking.

380
00:20:31.880 --> 00:20:34.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, we're freezing back here, but so far we haven't

381
00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:36.799
<v Speaker 2>seen much of the white stuff, although we periodically get

382
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:39.279
<v Speaker 2>big storms back here in New England, maybe not as

383
00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:43.000
<v Speaker 2>consistently as you good folks do out in Colorado. So

384
00:20:43.079 --> 00:20:45.240
<v Speaker 2>tell us, how do you figure out first of all,

385
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:49.799
<v Speaker 2>this what is a zombie employee? That's a very descriptive phrase.

386
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:52.680
<v Speaker 1>I agree with you. As a matter of fact, a

387
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:54.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of our folks that are watching, you know, the

388
00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:58.480
<v Speaker 1>new generation coming into their businesses. We grew up in

389
00:20:58.519 --> 00:21:01.519
<v Speaker 1>a time where business was so competitive and we're are

390
00:21:01.640 --> 00:21:07.400
<v Speaker 1>so well educated to be able to, you know, compete

391
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:09.680
<v Speaker 1>against other people who are looking for the same job.

392
00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:13.279
<v Speaker 1>And today that's a very different idea for a lot

393
00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:15.200
<v Speaker 1>of the new generation. They don't want to work that

394
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:18.240
<v Speaker 1>hard and so we've you know, people are just saying, well,

395
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:20.680
<v Speaker 1>they're lazy, they're this and then that, and they're zombies.

396
00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:23.400
<v Speaker 1>And the truth is it's a lot deeper than that,

397
00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:26.480
<v Speaker 1>is that they just want something very different. They want

398
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:28.839
<v Speaker 1>the experience of life, and a lot of that doesn't

399
00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:30.160
<v Speaker 1>have anything to do with business.

400
00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:34.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so basically, don't work and maybe the government can

401
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:36.000
<v Speaker 2>support you for your entire life.

402
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:38.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's the unfortunate truth.

403
00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it is an unfortunate truth. And you know, we

404
00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:45.000
<v Speaker 2>live in you know, America, you know, the the Home

405
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:46.519
<v Speaker 2>of the Free, the Land of the brave, and all

406
00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:50.720
<v Speaker 2>of that. And and and someone said, you know, you

407
00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:55.359
<v Speaker 2>know you have to earn. Stuff is not given to

408
00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:58.960
<v Speaker 2>you in in our system. Is it is the problem

409
00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:01.279
<v Speaker 2>that we live in a capitalist stick society. I mean,

410
00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:03.759
<v Speaker 2>it's the best in the world in my opinion. Why

411
00:22:03.799 --> 00:22:06.839
<v Speaker 2>are people in their twenties saying, I'm just going to

412
00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:09.480
<v Speaker 2>put in the minimum. They're never gonna go anywhere. They're

413
00:22:09.480 --> 00:22:11.880
<v Speaker 2>gonna turn out, they're gonna be zombie employees. If you're

414
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:14.319
<v Speaker 2>a zombie employee in your twenties, man, I feel badly

415
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:14.599
<v Speaker 2>for you.

416
00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and we've got to go back to how they

417
00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:20.599
<v Speaker 1>were raised. And I don't mean to blame anybody about this.

418
00:22:20.599 --> 00:22:23.200
<v Speaker 1>This is just what's happening. And we grew up in

419
00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:26.039
<v Speaker 1>a very competitive place where wanting to work are parentsly

420
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:28.160
<v Speaker 1>focused on. You know, you've got to earn the right

421
00:22:28.200 --> 00:22:30.000
<v Speaker 1>to be able to do these things. And the new

422
00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:33.559
<v Speaker 1>generation has been given so much as they grew up.

423
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:37.119
<v Speaker 1>That's their expectation, that's what we've taught them to believe.

424
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:39.200
<v Speaker 1>And so a lot of it has to do with

425
00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:41.960
<v Speaker 1>our socialization of our kids and then then they're bring

426
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:44.240
<v Speaker 1>by into the real world and it just does the

427
00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:46.079
<v Speaker 1>theory doesn't go into application.

428
00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:48.319
<v Speaker 2>So how do we turn this around? I mean, the

429
00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:51.279
<v Speaker 2>school systems obviously have been failing kids for a long

430
00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:53.920
<v Speaker 2>time in my opinion. You know, you go to most

431
00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:58.599
<v Speaker 2>kids today and you say, you know, name three members,

432
00:22:58.680 --> 00:23:01.519
<v Speaker 2>three founding fathers. You know, they have no idea if

433
00:23:01.559 --> 00:23:04.279
<v Speaker 2>you if you say, yes, you know, give us the

434
00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:06.599
<v Speaker 2>name of the second president. They might be able to

435
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:10.200
<v Speaker 2>name Washington Bush Adams place.

436
00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:13.839
<v Speaker 1>And they'll probably mention he's a slave owner and those

437
00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:17.799
<v Speaker 1>kind of things. And that's so that's the whole distribute.

438
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:19.160
<v Speaker 4>Where are they.

439
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:24.119
<v Speaker 1>Getting that information from? Yeah, where it's a long term process,

440
00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:26.839
<v Speaker 1>because unfortunately, the kids that have gone through the school

441
00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:29.960
<v Speaker 1>system and have learned this from our teachers are going

442
00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:32.440
<v Speaker 1>to carry that for a long period of time. So

443
00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:35.279
<v Speaker 1>what's the solution is not to think about how do

444
00:23:35.359 --> 00:23:38.200
<v Speaker 1>we change those kids or that generation, is what do

445
00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:40.680
<v Speaker 1>we need to do as business owners entrepreneurs to really

446
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:43.759
<v Speaker 1>take advantage of that situation and say, Okay, here's how

447
00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:45.400
<v Speaker 1>these guys are going to come in. These guys are

448
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:47.279
<v Speaker 1>going to come in and they want to be here

449
00:23:47.319 --> 00:23:48.920
<v Speaker 1>at eight oh five because they're going to be late,

450
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:50.720
<v Speaker 1>and then you know they want to leave it a

451
00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:53.839
<v Speaker 1>quarter or two before they take off. So how do

452
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:56.440
<v Speaker 1>you manage that into your business? And that's where we

453
00:23:56.559 --> 00:23:59.799
<v Speaker 1>really work with our clients at Semurai Success with It says, okay,

454
00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:01.559
<v Speaker 1>there is a solution because here's the facts.

455
00:24:01.759 --> 00:24:02.559
<v Speaker 5>How do we deal with that.

456
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:06.200
<v Speaker 1>So the thing is that we have to provide structure

457
00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:09.279
<v Speaker 1>for our businesses more so than we've ever done so before,

458
00:24:09.640 --> 00:24:11.559
<v Speaker 1>because if you only have a short period of time

459
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:13.680
<v Speaker 1>that employee is going to be working for you, you've

460
00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:17.640
<v Speaker 1>got to maximize the quality control and profitability with that employee.

461
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:20.200
<v Speaker 1>At the same time, with a shorter period of time

462
00:24:20.359 --> 00:24:22.559
<v Speaker 1>and the structure to be able to do that is processes,

463
00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:26.359
<v Speaker 1>and each one of these folks processes the.

464
00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Other thing too. If I could just add, if if

465
00:24:29.759 --> 00:24:31.559
<v Speaker 2>these young young people and I want to sell like

466
00:24:31.559 --> 00:24:33.880
<v Speaker 2>an old guy, I am an along side of fifty.

467
00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:39.039
<v Speaker 2>But if these young people are coming into work to

468
00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:42.759
<v Speaker 2>work without a work ethic and look at it as

469
00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:46.279
<v Speaker 2>if somehow they're doing the company a favor. No, the

470
00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:50.039
<v Speaker 2>company is employing you. The company is paying you to

471
00:24:50.279 --> 00:24:54.039
<v Speaker 2>make the company money. And if you make the company money,

472
00:24:54.119 --> 00:24:57.039
<v Speaker 2>you become a more valuable employee. That's why I want.

473
00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Soto just signed to seven one hundred million dollar contract

474
00:25:01.960 --> 00:25:05.359
<v Speaker 2>with the Mets because the Mets feel that he will

475
00:25:05.400 --> 00:25:08.839
<v Speaker 2>help them make make more money. I mean, it's it's

476
00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:12.920
<v Speaker 2>sports is the way in which people should understand how

477
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:16.119
<v Speaker 2>competition works. It's the same model should be in the office,

478
00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:18.359
<v Speaker 2>and someone who hustles and works a little bit more,

479
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:21.000
<v Speaker 2>that person should be compensated accordingly.

480
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:24.720
<v Speaker 1>And I couldn't agree with you more about that, because

481
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:28.319
<v Speaker 1>that's exactly how our society is currently structured. To be

482
00:25:28.400 --> 00:25:30.559
<v Speaker 1>able to do that with a capitalist market, you should

483
00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:33.400
<v Speaker 1>be based upon your performance, and that's the missing element

484
00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:35.799
<v Speaker 1>that a lot of our kids are I'm not connecting

485
00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:38.559
<v Speaker 1>to is. You know, you get paid upon your performance,

486
00:25:38.599 --> 00:25:40.440
<v Speaker 1>and if you really believe you can move the company,

487
00:25:40.440 --> 00:25:42.720
<v Speaker 1>and the company believes you can move them forward, they're

488
00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:44.240
<v Speaker 1>going to pay well to be able to do that.

489
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:48.279
<v Speaker 1>But in the meantime, until we get that belief system

490
00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:50.960
<v Speaker 1>back in our society, what do we do with these

491
00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:53.720
<v Speaker 1>this whole generation of folks that are in employees right

492
00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:56.480
<v Speaker 1>now and deal with that And the real solution that

493
00:25:56.519 --> 00:25:58.759
<v Speaker 1>we're finding is to be able to really provide the

494
00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:01.240
<v Speaker 1>structure so when they are there for that short period

495
00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:04.039
<v Speaker 1>of time during that day, you really maximize the efforts.

496
00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:06.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I have a couple of friends of mine who

497
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:11.920
<v Speaker 2>own small businesses, small private businesses, and I hear exactly

498
00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:16.519
<v Speaker 2>what you're talking about from yes, and they're good people.

499
00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:23.079
<v Speaker 2>They employ people irrespective of their background. There's no age discrimination.

500
00:26:23.400 --> 00:26:25.559
<v Speaker 2>All they want to find are people who can who

501
00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:28.200
<v Speaker 2>will come in and do an honest day's work and

502
00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:32.359
<v Speaker 2>be available. How can companies get in touch with summarize success?

503
00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:35.519
<v Speaker 2>It sounds to me as if if you're a company,

504
00:26:35.599 --> 00:26:37.440
<v Speaker 2>whether you're a big company or a small company, but

505
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:40.279
<v Speaker 2>particularly if you're a small company and you have a

506
00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:43.880
<v Speaker 2>handful of employees or you know, less than fifty employees

507
00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:46.680
<v Speaker 2>and you're not getting the maximum out of them. I

508
00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:50.440
<v Speaker 2>assume that there's some lessons that they can learn from

509
00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:52.599
<v Speaker 2>from your company to make their company better.

510
00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:56.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm hoping, yes, sure, that's exactly what we're designed to do.

511
00:26:56.920 --> 00:26:57.079
<v Speaker 2>You know.

512
00:26:57.160 --> 00:26:59.400
<v Speaker 1>I came from the seminar business and working with Anthony

513
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:02.359
<v Speaker 1>Robbins and stuff like that, and we found a way

514
00:27:02.480 --> 00:27:07.000
<v Speaker 1>to really approach this new problem with real viable solutions

515
00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:08.559
<v Speaker 1>to be able to get things going and moving in

516
00:27:08.599 --> 00:27:11.720
<v Speaker 1>the right direction immediately. And so when you provide that

517
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:14.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of structure and strategy and reach us at samuraisuccess

518

519
00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:19.000

520
00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:21.759
<v Speaker 1>but there's some real solutions to what people are looking for,

521
00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:24.039
<v Speaker 1>and when you want to go beyond that, hiring us

522
00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:24.960
<v Speaker 1>as coaches is what we.

523
00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:29.480
<v Speaker 2>Do, okay. And so even though you're in Denver, Colorado,

524
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:33.240
<v Speaker 2>companies here in New England, and we get into half

525
00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:35.279
<v Speaker 2>the country with our signal at this hour of the night,

00:27:35.400 --> 00:27:38.240
<v Speaker 2>anywhere within the sound of our voice, and of course

00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:41.160
<v Speaker 2>on the internet, we're we're everywhere in the world. Literally,

528

529
00:27:45.000 --> 00:27:47.599
<v Speaker 2>talk to you a little bit and maybe you can

530
00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:49.839
<v Speaker 2>provide some incredible help to them.

531
00:27:50.000 --> 00:27:54.200
<v Speaker 1>And sure as more fact, COVID if there was any

532
00:27:54.279 --> 00:27:57.680
<v Speaker 1>benefit of that gave us this access to video conference thing.

533
00:27:57.839 --> 00:27:59.880
<v Speaker 1>We just a lot of people just didn't buy into before,

534
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:02.400
<v Speaker 1>but it became so necessary to be able to continue

535
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:05.440
<v Speaker 1>commerce that video conferencing is such a big part of

536
00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:08.440
<v Speaker 1>our coaching concept. That has been for the last fifteen years,

537
00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:10.799
<v Speaker 1>but the last three years of course, has been really

538
00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:13.079
<v Speaker 1>focused on really how to make those improvements. So yes,

539
00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:15.440
<v Speaker 1>we can coach people from all over the world and

540
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:17.680
<v Speaker 1>currently do using video comferencing.

541
00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:21.119
<v Speaker 2>So Zoom calls excellent. Yes, sir, Well look I really

542
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:24.799
<v Speaker 2>enjoyed it, David. I think that we view the world

543
00:28:24.960 --> 00:28:29.200
<v Speaker 2>very similarly. I wasn't sure where we were taking this topic.

544
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:31.839
<v Speaker 2>I am not an employer. I've been an employee my

545
00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:34.279
<v Speaker 2>entire life. But I'll tell you the people that make

546
00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:37.799
<v Speaker 2>this country go are small businesses. It's not the big businesses.

547
00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:41.000
<v Speaker 2>It's the smalls at the bottom of the pyramids. So

548
00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:45.200
<v Speaker 2>I feel we kind of see the world in a

549
00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:51.400
<v Speaker 2>similar way. David allcought workplace expert with Samurai Success Samurai

558
00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:15.559
<v Speaker 2>with Mike Defina. He's the media relations manager for the

<v Speaker 2>Animal Rescue League. Six tips to keep your pets safe

560
00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:22.799
<v Speaker 2>in the cold. This is a tough time of year

561
00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:26.359
<v Speaker 2>for pets, and I think about the faro cats that

562
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:28.599
<v Speaker 2>are out there at night. I have no idea how

563
00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:34.079
<v Speaker 2>they survive. But listen carefully to Mike Defina, because if

564
00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:36.200
<v Speaker 2>you have a pet, you got to take care of

565
00:29:36.279 --> 00:29:39.440
<v Speaker 2>your pet, particularly at this point. You don't want to

566
00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:42.160
<v Speaker 2>leave a door open and have that pet find out

567
00:29:42.279 --> 00:29:44.720
<v Speaker 2>find out they ran out back at mid and you

568
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:47.319
<v Speaker 2>have no idea where they are. Well, we'll explain it

569

00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:39.039
<v Speaker 4>And I think you hit the nail right on the head. Yeah,

585
00:30:39.039 --> 00:30:42.920
<v Speaker 4>I mean, cold temperatures have really settled in. You know,

586
00:30:43.240 --> 00:30:46.079
<v Speaker 4>we're we're looking you know, last week or so and

587
00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:50.359
<v Speaker 4>for the foreseeable future we're seeing blow freezing temperatures. There

588
00:30:50.400 --> 00:30:53.200
<v Speaker 4>are no windshills in the single digits. So yeah, I

589
00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:55.599
<v Speaker 4>mean it's time to you know, as we take extra

590
00:30:55.720 --> 00:30:59.319
<v Speaker 4>steps for ourselves to protect ourselves from the cold, it's

591
00:30:59.400 --> 00:31:01.559
<v Speaker 4>definitely that time of year to do the same for

592
00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:02.119
<v Speaker 4>our pets.

593
00:31:02.599 --> 00:31:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, give us a couple of things that maybe people

594
00:31:05.599 --> 00:31:08.119
<v Speaker 2>aren't thinking of. I was talking with Rob Our producer,

595
00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:12.279
<v Speaker 2>and when I babysit or dog sit for my son

596
00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:19.119
<v Speaker 2>or daughter's dogs, a quirky named Mustard and a shorty

597
00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:22.440
<v Speaker 2>part ships who in part yu Oki will be the

598
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:25.039
<v Speaker 2>wonder dog for my son and I need to take

599
00:31:25.079 --> 00:31:27.839
<v Speaker 2>them out at night. They are not off the leash

600
00:31:28.400 --> 00:31:31.720
<v Speaker 2>in the worter time at night under any circumstances. Is

601
00:31:31.880 --> 00:31:34.319
<v Speaker 2>am I be some overly protective.

602
00:31:35.839 --> 00:31:37.960
<v Speaker 4>No, no, not at all. I mean when we talk

603
00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:41.799
<v Speaker 4>about you know, wildlife, it's certainly concerned right now. You know,

604
00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:45.720
<v Speaker 4>coyotes are always on head ower's minds, and you know

605
00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:48.599
<v Speaker 4>we are kind of getting into their mating season. So yeah,

606
00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:52.559
<v Speaker 4>whenever you go outside at night with your pets, you

607
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:54.480
<v Speaker 4>really want to keep them on leash for sure. But

608
00:31:55.799 --> 00:31:58.440
<v Speaker 4>you know it's really just kind of taking some simple

609
00:31:58.519 --> 00:32:02.240
<v Speaker 4>steps to to just better equip them for the coal.

610
00:32:02.279 --> 00:32:05.319
<v Speaker 4>I mean we wear you know, jackets, scarves, hats, gloves,

611
00:32:05.400 --> 00:32:08.920
<v Speaker 4>et cetera. I mean, if you have a longer coat dog,

612
00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:11.480
<v Speaker 4>you want to let let their coat grow out a

613
00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:13.480
<v Speaker 4>little bit, but of course still keep it brushed and

614
00:32:13.599 --> 00:32:17.039
<v Speaker 4>nicely groomed. You know, shorter coat dogs, they're going to

615
00:32:17.079 --> 00:32:20.759
<v Speaker 4>get the chill a little faster. So things like sweaters, coats,

616
00:32:21.200 --> 00:32:24.480
<v Speaker 4>and booties. Booties are a great way to protect dogs

617
00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:26.880
<v Speaker 4>as well, not just from the cold, but when we

618
00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:31.039
<v Speaker 4>talk about all these snow melting salts and chemicals that

619
00:32:31.119 --> 00:32:34.680
<v Speaker 4>are put on the sidewalks and any paved surfaces, you know,

620
00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:37.440
<v Speaker 4>we really want to make sure even you know, even

621
00:32:37.559 --> 00:32:40.359
<v Speaker 4>if you know your neighbors or someone in the neighborhood

622
00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:45.200
<v Speaker 4>has the has the pet friendly variety of these chemicals,

623
00:32:46.039 --> 00:32:48.880
<v Speaker 4>they're not. You know, pet friendly chemicals are not everywhere.

624
00:32:48.960 --> 00:32:52.119
<v Speaker 4>So whenever you get your dog back inside from a walk,

625
00:32:53.039 --> 00:32:55.640
<v Speaker 4>you want to just make sure that you clean off

626
00:32:55.680 --> 00:33:00.400
<v Speaker 4>their paws and wipe their stomach. You just the camicals

627
00:33:00.640 --> 00:33:04.480
<v Speaker 4>can irritate their their paws and burn their paws, and

628
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:06.839
<v Speaker 4>we don't want them licking their paws when they get

629
00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:09.400
<v Speaker 4>back inside and it can be chemicals and ingesting them.

630
00:33:09.519 --> 00:33:13.039
<v Speaker 4>So we definitely want to keep that in mind as well.

631
00:33:13.319 --> 00:33:17.160
<v Speaker 4>And you know, I think simple as best. So I mean,

632
00:33:17.319 --> 00:33:18.960
<v Speaker 4>if it's too cold for you to be out there,

633
00:33:19.000 --> 00:33:22.359
<v Speaker 4>it's definitely too cold for your pets to be outside.

634
00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:26.240
<v Speaker 4>And I think one of the interesting things about winter

635
00:33:26.559 --> 00:33:29.039
<v Speaker 4>is it just it really mirrors a lot of what

636
00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:32.720
<v Speaker 4>we talk about during the summer, the summertime months, there

637
00:33:32.759 --> 00:33:36.599
<v Speaker 4>are many things in place in the state of Massachusetts

638
00:33:36.680 --> 00:33:40.960
<v Speaker 4>that protect animals during hot weather. So it's illegal to

639
00:33:41.079 --> 00:33:43.759
<v Speaker 4>keep your your pet confined in a vehicle during the

640
00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:49.279
<v Speaker 4>during the hot summer months. That law actually applies during

641
00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:52.279
<v Speaker 4>extreme cold too, so that's something to keep in mind,

642
00:33:52.319 --> 00:33:55.319
<v Speaker 4>so you never want to keep your animal confined to

643
00:33:55.440 --> 00:33:58.680
<v Speaker 4>a cold vehicle. And then tethering laws as well. You

644
00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:01.279
<v Speaker 4>know a lot of folks they're keep their pups tied

645
00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:05.440
<v Speaker 4>up outside when we you know, when we have any

646
00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:08.519
<v Speaker 4>sort of weather advisary or warning or watch as could

647
00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:14.280
<v Speaker 4>be a heat, cold, wind, rain, snow, any sort of warning,

648
00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:16.639
<v Speaker 4>your dog's not allowed to be tethered for more than

649
00:34:16.719 --> 00:34:19.039
<v Speaker 4>fifteen minutes. So that's that's another thing to keep in

650
00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:23.000
<v Speaker 4>mind as well. And you know, just like us, you know,

651
00:34:23.159 --> 00:34:26.239
<v Speaker 4>pets are they're susceptible the frostbite and hypothermia.

652
00:34:26.360 --> 00:34:31.159
<v Speaker 2>So I can't imagine why, I really can't imagine why

653
00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:34.519
<v Speaker 2>anyone on a night light tonight, or even in daylight today,

654
00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:37.719
<v Speaker 2>would you know, put their dog on some sort of

655
00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:43.960
<v Speaker 2>a run outside. I mean it's just because look very

656
00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:48.079
<v Speaker 2>most of us me included the phone rings, your answer

657
00:34:48.119 --> 00:34:50.199
<v Speaker 2>to the phone, and the next thing, the doorbell rings

658
00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:52.480
<v Speaker 2>as there's a ups to arrive or there or something

659
00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:54.079
<v Speaker 2>like that, and you say to yourself, oh my god,

660
00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:56.920
<v Speaker 2>dog dog's been outside for not for ten minutes, but

661
00:34:57.039 --> 00:34:59.400
<v Speaker 2>for an hour and a half. I mean, it's just

662
00:34:59.519 --> 00:35:02.079
<v Speaker 2>it's just the little nature. You forget that sort of stuff.

663
00:35:02.159 --> 00:35:06.320
<v Speaker 2>So why even put them in that situation? That's you know,

664
00:35:06.400 --> 00:35:09.119
<v Speaker 2>these are animals that are family members. Would you put

665
00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:12.400
<v Speaker 2>would you put your mother in law? You know, well

666
00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:14.519
<v Speaker 2>maybe the mother in law be an exception only kidding.

667
00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:16.239
<v Speaker 2>I shouldn't have even said that. No, but you know

668
00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:20.960
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying, You know exactly you're crazy. Uncle Harry

669
00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:24.639
<v Speaker 2>upstairs in the attic may give him, but you would

670
00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:28.280
<v Speaker 2>you don't want to do it with I mean dogs,

671
00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:30.679
<v Speaker 2>dogs are just special as far as I'm concerned. I

672
00:35:30.800 --> 00:35:34.960
<v Speaker 2>keep telling people, remember you spell dog dog backwards, it's

673
00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:40.000
<v Speaker 2>g O D And I really, I just they are

674
00:35:40.280 --> 00:35:47.280
<v Speaker 2>such loyal, loyal companions and not to you know, to

675
00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:51.000
<v Speaker 2>go overboard, but you gotta protect them, particularly at this

676
00:35:51.119 --> 00:35:54.159
<v Speaker 2>time of the year. And as you mentioned with with

677
00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:57.639
<v Speaker 2>the the how do the farewell cats survive. That's I

678
00:35:57.760 --> 00:35:59.079
<v Speaker 2>feel so sorry for you.

679
00:36:00.599 --> 00:36:05.400
<v Speaker 4>Know, they're they're amazing, amazing creatures. They are extremely resilient.

680
00:36:05.679 --> 00:36:10.880
<v Speaker 4>They just have a knack of finding a safe, warm,

681
00:36:11.320 --> 00:36:15.920
<v Speaker 4>place to sleep and to eat. But you know, that

682
00:36:16.039 --> 00:36:18.880
<v Speaker 4>brings up another point that one of those places we

683
00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:21.320
<v Speaker 4>see it, I mean we see it throughout the year

684
00:36:21.320 --> 00:36:23.440
<v Speaker 4>from time to time, but definitely in the winter time.

685
00:36:23.559 --> 00:36:25.679
<v Speaker 4>Something to keep in mind, under the hood of your

686
00:36:25.719 --> 00:36:31.199
<v Speaker 4>car for outdoor cats, community cats, that's a perfect place

687
00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:34.119
<v Speaker 4>for them to coose the up. It's nice, it's nice

688
00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:38.599
<v Speaker 4>and snug, protected from the wind, safe from predators. But

689
00:36:39.000 --> 00:36:40.880
<v Speaker 4>of course, when we go out to start our car

690
00:36:40.960 --> 00:36:42.519
<v Speaker 4>in the morning, and if we don't know that an

691
00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:47.000
<v Speaker 4>animal's under the hood, you know, unfortunately extreme injuries can happen.

692
00:36:47.159 --> 00:36:48.880
<v Speaker 4>So when you go out in the morning to start

693
00:36:48.920 --> 00:36:51.079
<v Speaker 4>your car, just give your hood, you know, just bang

694
00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:53.320
<v Speaker 4>on it a couple of times, quick visual check to

695
00:36:53.360 --> 00:36:56.519
<v Speaker 4>make sure there's no animals in or around your vehicle

696
00:36:57.320 --> 00:36:59.360
<v Speaker 4>before you set off for the day. But yeah, I mean,

697
00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:02.199
<v Speaker 4>you know, we we help these community cats throughout the year,

698
00:37:02.320 --> 00:37:04.360
<v Speaker 4>take in as many as we can. But you know,

699
00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:07.400
<v Speaker 4>they're they're they're in the hundreds of thousands throughout the

700
00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:08.480
<v Speaker 4>state of Massachusetts.

701
00:37:08.519 --> 00:37:12.559
<v Speaker 2>So I have actually I've seen in my neighborhood occasionally

702
00:37:12.760 --> 00:37:15.880
<v Speaker 2>what I know is a feral cat, and I've literally

703
00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:19.119
<v Speaker 2>tried to, you know, sit down so that the cat

704
00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:21.320
<v Speaker 2>and try to talk to them and see if they

705
00:37:21.360 --> 00:37:24.239
<v Speaker 2>would come over. Even sometimes go inside and bring out

706
00:37:24.280 --> 00:37:26.559
<v Speaker 2>a little dish of milk and leave it there, but

707
00:37:26.760 --> 00:37:30.000
<v Speaker 2>they just have no interest in any interaction.

708
00:37:30.719 --> 00:37:32.079
<v Speaker 5>And they will, yeah, some don't.

709
00:37:32.360 --> 00:37:37.920
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, there's the survivors. They can absolutely you know

710
00:37:38.079 --> 00:37:40.519
<v Speaker 4>there their instincts kick in and and you know, they

711
00:37:40.599 --> 00:37:43.599
<v Speaker 4>do what they do to survive. But yeah, they're they're

712
00:37:44.000 --> 00:37:49.039
<v Speaker 4>they're they're really really resilient. But you know, another point

713
00:37:49.119 --> 00:37:52.639
<v Speaker 4>being that we are cold now, but we you know,

714
00:37:52.800 --> 00:37:55.679
<v Speaker 4>the mild temperatures kind of stay a little longer, so

715
00:37:55.800 --> 00:37:59.239
<v Speaker 4>we're still actually seeing kittens being born outdoors. And the kittens,

716
00:37:59.280 --> 00:38:02.679
<v Speaker 4>of course, are very very susceptible to these types of uh,

717
00:38:02.880 --> 00:38:04.679
<v Speaker 4>these types of temperatures. So I mean, if you do

718
00:38:04.920 --> 00:38:08.800
<v Speaker 4>see a mom and kittens out there in the neighborhood,

719
00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:11.719
<v Speaker 4>in your yard, anywhere where they might hold up for

720
00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:14.000
<v Speaker 4>some warmth and some safety, you know, you definitely want

721
00:38:14.039 --> 00:38:15.960
<v Speaker 4>to give the animal rescu League of Boston a call,

722
00:38:16.039 --> 00:38:18.360
<v Speaker 4>because we can certainly come out, bring them in, get

723
00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:22.280
<v Speaker 4>everybody spade new their vaccinated and uh andry home.

724
00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:23.360
<v Speaker 2>So that's great.

725
00:38:23.639 --> 00:38:26.440
<v Speaker 4>That's always great to keep an eye out for them,

726
00:38:26.519 --> 00:38:26.840
<v Speaker 4>for sure.

727
00:38:27.760 --> 00:38:30.159
<v Speaker 2>Is that's so great, Mike Defina, thank you so much.

728
00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:33.719
<v Speaker 2>Animal Rescue League, easy to contact. Everybody knows how to

729
00:38:33.800 --> 00:38:35.639
<v Speaker 2>get in contact with it. And if you do see

730
00:38:35.719 --> 00:38:39.039
<v Speaker 2>some little kittens somewhere in the yard or somewhere like that,

731
00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:43.559
<v Speaker 2>please take action. Okay, thanks Mike. Let's do this in

732
00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:46.159
<v Speaker 2>a month or so, just to remind people because on

733
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:48.079
<v Speaker 2>different nights during the week, and would love to have

734
00:38:48.159 --> 00:38:48.519
<v Speaker 2>you back.

735
00:38:48.559 --> 00:38:50.880
<v Speaker 4>Okay, well, of course anytime.

736
00:38:51.000 --> 00:38:53.840
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Thanks Mike, Mike Defeina of the Animal Rescue

737
00:38:53.920 --> 00:38:56.239
<v Speaker 2>League of Boston. Well, we get back on to talk

738
00:38:56.280 --> 00:38:59.159
<v Speaker 2>with the great Harvey Silverglade and we're going to reflect

739
00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:01.719
<v Speaker 2>back on what happened in New Orleans kind of in

740
00:39:01.840 --> 00:39:04.519
<v Speaker 2>our rearview mirror. But there's a lot of this stuff

741
00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:06.920
<v Speaker 2>going on. People are getting radicalized as some of these

742
00:39:06.960 --> 00:39:09.599
<v Speaker 2>sites of the dark Web. We're going to talk to

743
00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:13.559
<v Speaker 2>Harvey about what he thinks, as a civil libertarian the

744
00:39:13.679 --> 00:39:16.400
<v Speaker 2>government should be able to do to try to neutralize

745
00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:18.719
<v Speaker 2>some of this activity. We may agree or disagree. I

746
00:39:18.760 --> 00:39:20.960
<v Speaker 2>don't know. We haven't discussed it. It should be fun.

747
00:39:21.079 --> 00:39:23.159
<v Speaker 2>Love to have you participate in the conversation as well.
