WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:06.320 It's Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm WBS Boston Radio. 2 00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:10.199 Thank you very much to call. Nice to be back 3 00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:14.679 after a week's vacation. It was wonderful, but I missed 4 00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:17.839 all of you, and I want to thank not only 5 00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:21.960 Gary Tangway who sat in all last week, but also 6 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:26.600 of course Marita and Karen Bussemi who on a Monday 7 00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:30.839 produced the program. So we're back ready to go, that 8 00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:34.920 is for sure, and we are back to our normal programming, 9 00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:40.799 meaning we're going to start off with our first four 10 00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:46.600 guests in a segment. Rob Brooks is back behind the microphone, 11 00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:49.320 and I'm all set. My name is Dan Ray, and 12 00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:52.119 I am here every Monday through Friday night except on 13 00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:54.679 a month vacation, and I will be here every night 14 00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:58.479 for the balance of September through most of not all 15 00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:01.880 of October, right up to it including November fifth, and 16 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:06.439 of course that's going to be a very important date 17 00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.879 for everyone. So one person who is going to be 18 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:15.959 watching November fifth very closely is a longtime friend and colleague, 19 00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:21.599 John Keller of WBC Television. He is the political editor 20 00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:24.200 over there and it has been for it many many years. 21 00:01:24.239 --> 00:01:29.239 Does his Sunday morning program, amongst other responsibilities. John Keller, 22 00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:31.000 welcome back to Nightside. How are you tonight? 23 00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:34.799 Would you say your name was against Dan Ray? 24 00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:39.439 Yes? Yes, I don't think we haven't met too many times. 25 00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:40.480 Dan. 26 00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:43.000 I don't think you have to reintroduce yourself to the 27 00:01:43.040 --> 00:01:45.319 audience anymore. I think everybody knows who you are. 28 00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:47.959 You never know, you never know. That could be some 29 00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.680 new listeners every day. John, how are you doing? Yeah, 30 00:01:50.840 --> 00:01:54.359 you're right to reintroduce you, but I do that out 31 00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:58.640 of professional courtesy. I welcome, welcome back to Nightside. 32 00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.519 Thank you, big, big night. 33 00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:02.239 Tomorrow night. 34 00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:06.040 This might be the one and only, the one and 35 00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.560 only presidential debate of this year. I've heard very little 36 00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:14.960 from the Presidential Debate Commission, which normally is in charge 37 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.400 of this lock stock and barrel. For some reason, everything 38 00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:20.680 has changed this year. 39 00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:26.240 Yeah, they're out of the picture, and it's a matter 40 00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:31.520 of the campaigns negotiating directly with media organizations. Dan. I'm 41 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:35.840 willing to moderate one's if they're interested down the road, 42 00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:39.120 but I'll tell you Tomorrow night could be the only one, 43 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:45.319 and that I think changes the strategy that these candidates 44 00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:48.919 will bring Tomorrow night. I mean you you know, we're 45 00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.280 we're a little less than two months away from election day. 46 00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:57.560 That's a that's a long time, and so one thing 47 00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:01.639 you've got to do if you're Harris or Trump is 48 00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:07.240 try to create viral moments that will live on over 49 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:13.280 the coming weeks online. Because if you're counting on people 50 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:17.400 remembering the entire debate by the time they go vote, 51 00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:21.960 I think you might be in trouble. So that suggests 52 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:26.719 to me, for instance, that Harris in particular, will have 53 00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:31.479 some set lines ready to go that she's going to 54 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.879 try to drop on him that will create viral moments 55 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:37.759 on Trump is going to try to do the same, 56 00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:41.599 but I watch for that. I think they're going to 57 00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:45.319 be looking to create these little episodes that will be 58 00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:50.680 bouncing around Facebook and Instagram and TikTok for the remaining 59 00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:51.639 seven weeks. 60 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:57.000 Well, it's really interesting because if that debate ends up 61 00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:01.240 as sort of a draw, a right, a tie, whatever, 62 00:04:01.319 --> 00:04:04.120 however people score it. If it doesn't move the needle, 63 00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:08.360 then both of them probably would be open to another debate. 64 00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:14.800 But if one wins dramatically, as Trump did with President 65 00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:18.879 Biden in June, I think that's it. We may see 66 00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.920 a vice presidential debate. I'm not even sure if the 67 00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:27.120 Presidential Commission on Debates or whatever it's called, which generally 68 00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:29.279 was run by the League of Women Voters, If I'm 69 00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:32.519 not mistaken, they've been ased out of this whole process, 70 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:38.480 asd out by the June face off between President Biden 71 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:41.160 and former President Trump, and we know how that ended. 72 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:49.439 Yeah, no, you're right, this could be it except for 73 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:54.480 a possible vice presidential debate. I'm not sure if that's 74 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.120 set and grant yet that even that's going to happen, 75 00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.480 But you know, you got a one or what the 76 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:04.160 strategy is for these two going into this. Are they 77 00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:10.519 going into it looking to just excite their base so 78 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:13.759 that you know, people who are already inclined to back 79 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:19.560 Harris come away all hyped up and ready to turn out. 80 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:21.959 Is that how they look at this as a as 81 00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:28.279 a straight turnout election, or whoever generates the bigger turnout 82 00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:31.560 is going to win. Or do they use this opportunity 83 00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:35.439 to make a play for the undecided voter, the swing voter. 84 00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:39.759 And that's weird, Dan, because one thing we know about 85 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:44.439 these undecided voters, the small percentage of the electorate that 86 00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:47.160 still can't make up its mind. Or just as I'm 87 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:50.120 paying attention. Is they tend to make up their minds 88 00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:54.240 in the final couple of weeks. Yeah, that's what history shows. 89 00:05:54.680 --> 00:05:56.920 You know, there's probably eleven people in the country who 90 00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:57.680 at this point. 91 00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:02.759 Are it's really got a wonder right, So they could. 92 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:05.160 Put all those people in the room together. It would 93 00:06:05.199 --> 00:06:08.680 be a very small room and we could figure the election. 94 00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:11.639 Out as long as there's an open bar. 95 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.720 Something like that. Yes, that would be the poster's dream. Well, 96 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:20.879 I don't know. I mean, obviously i'd follow I follow 97 00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:24.199 the polls polls closely as you do, and I follow 98 00:06:25.319 --> 00:06:28.920 five point thirty eight very closely. And it looks to 99 00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:34.920 me like as in this moment, Vice President Harris did 100 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:38.160 have a bit of a bump out of that convention, 101 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:42.199 which went very well for the Democrats. But that bump 102 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:45.399 has not continued, and it's if it may have even 103 00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:47.639 receded a little bit. Is that the way you see 104 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:49.759 this or am I missing something? 105 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:54.079 No, that could real well be. I'm going to stick 106 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:56.480 with the way I've looked at this all along, just 107 00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:00.120 for lack of a better idea, Dan, and that is 108 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:06.839 is that if the swing voter goes into the polls 109 00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:11.759 in November or down the stretch because there's plenty of 110 00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:16.720 advanced voting that's going to be going on focused on 111 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:21.680 Trump and thinking, gee, do I really want to go 112 00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:27.639 back to what we had with Trump. I think that's 113 00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:32.360 good for Harris, because one thing the polls tell you 114 00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:38.600 is Donald Trump is not that popular. However, if they 115 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:45.480 go into the polls focused on Harris and the Biden years, well, 116 00:07:45.759 --> 00:07:50.759 those years have not been popular with the voters, and 117 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:55.839 that could be persuasive for people who just say, look, 118 00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:00.839 you know, maybe I voted for Trump back in sixteen 119 00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:04.160 because I wanted to try something new, and maybe I 120 00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:06.920 wasn't that thrilled with it, But then we had this 121 00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:09.879 Bite and Harris thing, and I really didn't like that, 122 00:08:10.199 --> 00:08:12.360 so I'll go back the other way. 123 00:08:12.839 --> 00:08:15.600 Well, there's another element I throw at you'd like to 124 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.160 get your reaction, John, and that is that. And I 125 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:21.399 agree with you that if you go in thinking about 126 00:08:21.439 --> 00:08:25.000 Trump and the turmoil, particularly of the last few weeks 127 00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:28.839 of his second term of his first term in office, 128 00:08:29.439 --> 00:08:31.720 most people say, oh, do we really need to go 129 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.480 through that again. But if people go in and they 130 00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:39.120 focus and they say, well, I know what Trump believes, 131 00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.960 I know what his positions are, some of which I 132 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.360 might agree with, some of which I don't disagree with, 133 00:08:45.480 --> 00:08:51.159 I don't agree with. But what is Vice President Harris? 134 00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:54.879 She hasn't done news conferences. She hasn't done except one 135 00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:59.039 to sit down interview. Am I voting for someone that 136 00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:02.600 I know what's in all? Or? Am I voting for 137 00:09:02.679 --> 00:09:09.840 someone that Bernie Sanders yesterday said is not changing her positions, 138 00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:14.480 She's just kind of accommodating her circumstances and trying to 139 00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:18.519 win an election. That was a sound bite for Bernie 140 00:09:18.559 --> 00:09:19.440 Sanders yesterday. 141 00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:24.759 I thought, Yeah, you know, you're right. It reminds me 142 00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:28.600 a little bit of the whole edge of sketch situation 143 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:32.039 with Mitt Romney. Remember that he was gonna once he 144 00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:34.720 got the nomination, shake like an edge of sketch and 145 00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:40.519 come up with a a whole new platform. Yeah, that 146 00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:43.559 didn't work out too great, But I don't know. I 147 00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:47.720 think tomorrow night you're gonna hear a lot about Project 148 00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:53.360 twenty twenty five from Harris. Yep, because that has proven, 149 00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:56.240 much to my surprise, to be honest with you, to 150 00:09:56.320 --> 00:10:00.559 be a very effective vehicle for well certainly scaring the 151 00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:04.000 daylights out of people. Because it's a project twenty twenty 152 00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:08.279 five is a lot of extreme right wing wishless stuff, 153 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:16.240 but it suggests and it promotes fear of a Trump 154 00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:17.200 led future. 155 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:21.799 It also sounds like it sounds so governmental, and it 156 00:10:21.840 --> 00:10:27.279 almost sounds like Area fifty one. Right. Yes, I don't 157 00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:29.200 know what it is, but it doesn't sound good. 158 00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:31.799 No, it doesn't sound good. 159 00:10:32.559 --> 00:10:33.879 And whoever does. 160 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:37.080 That's right, that's right. 161 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:39.639 And maybe it's going to be interesting tomorrow night, that 162 00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:41.519 is for sure. And I know you'll be watching it 163 00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:43.879 like a hawk, and people will get your reaction to it, 164 00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:46.240 and we'll get people's reaction to it. And by the way, 165 00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:49.240 tonight we're going to talk about see what people anticipate 166 00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:51.639 and expect beginning at ten o'clock. And you have set 167 00:10:51.720 --> 00:10:54.279 the table as always very nicely for us, and I 168 00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:56.120 appreciate that very much. 169 00:10:56.960 --> 00:11:00.399 Get the popcorn ready, Dan, Oh yeah, Arrow. 170 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:05.320 Popcorn tomorrow night.

It was on to Cincinnati 182 00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:49.799 yesterday for the Patriots, and now it's on to the 183 00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:52.279 rest of the schedule.

We'll loosen it up 186 00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:59.600 here coming up right after the break here on night Side. 187 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:03.440 Now back to Dan ray Line from the Window World 188 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:06.720 Light Sinight Studios on WBZ the news Radio. 189 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:10.120 I want to welcome Lee Richardson.

She's the founder of the Brain 191 00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:18.679 Performance Center Lee Richardson, or I should say doctor Richardson. Welcome, 192 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:24.440 very welcome to you. Food may dictate our mood. What's 193 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.279 this all about? I'm here, well, too much sugar, too 194 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:29.720 much carbs. What are we talking about? 195 00:12:30.840 --> 00:12:31.120 Holoyd. 196 00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:34.919 That's exactly what we're talking about. Our diet does affect 197 00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:39.240 our maids, and really it's because it's through blood sugar, 198 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:43.399 and once our blood sugar gets hot, starts triggering our hormones. 199 00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:47.360 And then, you know, anytime you do something that you 200 00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:51.559 really like, the brain starts kicking out this dopamine, and 201 00:12:51.720 --> 00:12:56.440 dopamine is a really feel good transceneral transmitter, and we 202 00:12:56.559 --> 00:13:01.559 get confused like, oh, I like that, I want that, 203 00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:06.559 I need that, And that's confusing for the brain. And 204 00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:09.600 then maybe four or five hours after we get that 205 00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:14.440 sugar high, that adrenaline starts to get released in our system. 206 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.960 And as good as that dopamine makes us feel, adrenaline 207 00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:22.879 makes us feel bad. But it's confusing, you know, to 208 00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:25.840 when you eat something and you feel good and then 209 00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:27.960 all of a sudden, or what's not all of a sudden, 210 00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:30.480 for a little while later, you feel bad. 211 00:13:31.679 --> 00:13:34.159 Well, let me let me miss this. I understand the 212 00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:39.519 dopamine concept. And dopamine, for example, if people are runners, 213 00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:42.000 they know what a runner's high is. After you know, 214 00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:44.200 a ten k race or a five k race or 215 00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:49.240 a marathon, you get that that dopamine, which is just hey, 216 00:13:49.279 --> 00:13:52.200 I've really I work out every day. I'm my best 217 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.279 part of the day is when I finish my exercise routine, 218 00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:58.440 generally around eight or eight thirty in the morning. I'm 219 00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:01.000 ready to go, so that it's not a bad thing. 220 00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:04.679 But I guess if it's brought on by exercise, it's okay. 221 00:14:04.759 --> 00:14:06.799 But if it's brought on by junk food, it's not. 222 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:07.879 Is that what I'm hearing you. 223 00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:11.600 Say, Well, it is because dopaman is a key factor 224 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:15.799 in addiction and whether and you know, I'm not saying 225 00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:19.360 you're addicted to exercise, Honestly, I have approached that in 226 00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:23.679 my younger years. But whether it's alcohol or I got 227 00:14:23.799 --> 00:14:24.440 to be honest with you. 228 00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:26.960 I am addicted to exercise because I do it. Yeah, 229 00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:33.000 I try to do it every day, you know, and 230 00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:37.039 I feel much better when it's over. You got to 231 00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:40.320 have that mindset, get up, get it over with and 232 00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:41.279 get on with the day. 233 00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:46.840 Absolutely, And well, thank you for admitting your addiction. I 234 00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:50.000 think exercise because I tell myself for years, well, it's 235 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:54.799 a healthy addiction, and I still want it, but I 236 00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:55.399 can live. 237 00:14:56.200 --> 00:14:57.720 I don't have to have it. 238 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:02.320 And with food and so it's so complex, you know, 239 00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:06.000 we all have our comfort food that makes us feel good. 240 00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:08.519 And I can remember as a little kid, you know, 241 00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:11.279 anytime I felt bad, my mom would make me a 242 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:18.039 baked potato. I see a baked potato today, I'm like, oh, yes, please. Now, 243 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:21.519 I know that's a high glossmic index, but at the 244 00:15:21.639 --> 00:15:24.759 same time, it's a comfort food to me. 245 00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:32.240 Okay, So let's assume somebody is actually over eating in 246 00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:37.320 terms of sugar and carbs. So the process is you 247 00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:41.039 like the sugar and carbs and you get the dopamine high, 248 00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:45.080 and then you come crashing down and you're adrenaline which 249 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:46.360 takes which brings you down. 250 00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:50.879 Well, that plays a part of it, but it also 251 00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:54.919 it's your blood sugar. It fluctuates and they call it 252 00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:59.240 now a high glossmic index. And for our listeners out there, 253 00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:03.200 you know, God Glass, Google, you don't have to work 254 00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:07.960 too hard to figure out what low glossmic indexed foods are. 255 00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:12.120 Just put it in the search bar, and it's amazing 256 00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:16.200 because it's it's what makes it complicated. There is no 257 00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:20.120 two people that have the same brain, and there's no 258 00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:22.600 two people that are going to react to sugar or 259 00:16:22.759 --> 00:16:27.559 caffeine or chocolate or anything. The same way that somebody 260 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:27.960 is my. 261 00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:36.480 Favorite food groups chocolate. Oh man. Okay, So what's the 262 00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:39.799 long term implications here? What are we talking about here? 263 00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:46.120 What by do by by over indulging in sugars and carbs, 264 00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:50.240 Other than affecting our moved there must be some long term. 265 00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:57.840 Medical Absolutely, absolutely all of that relates to insulin and diabetes. 266 00:16:58.480 --> 00:17:03.799 Diabetes is and it's probably one of the fastest growing. 267 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:08.880 So there is no difference. Everybody thinks all the body 268 00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:12.759 that's your physical health, and all the brain that's your 269 00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:17.279 mental health. No, thank you, it's brain health. And the 270 00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:21.799 brain controls everything that's going on in the body. The 271 00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:24.799 body keeps score of whatever's going on in the brain. 272 00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:30.480 So how about a quick recommendation. We've probably scared some 273 00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:37.559 people tonight, including me. What other than self disciplined, what 274 00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:40.559 can you do? Cut down on your sugar and your carbs. 275 00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:48.119 Educate, become aware you know, Google low glassmic index. I 276 00:17:48.160 --> 00:17:49.759 mean I was brought up, Oh my gosh, you got 277 00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:53.680 to eat grape nuts. They're hot glasmic values and little 278 00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:56.359 did my mom know. So if I want thing to 279 00:17:56.400 --> 00:18:00.839 say to our listeners out there, it's your responsibility educate 280 00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:04.319 yourself and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. 281 00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:08.319 Okay, So low glycemic index is what we should be 282 00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:13.559 googling tonight, right, Ye, all right, doctor Lee Richardson. I 283 00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:17.960 love the way you kind of tell us the truth. Okay, 284 00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:19.480 but you're doing it in a nice way. 285 00:18:21.160 --> 00:18:23.160 Well, thank you for your kind words. 286 00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:27.200 Well can take that as a compliment. Okay, Oh I do. 287 00:18:28.079 --> 00:18:30.279 I think you've probably shaken up a few people tonight, 288 00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:33.039 but that's not a bad thing. We'll have you back 289 00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:36.160 as always, doctor Lee Richardson. How can folks get in 290 00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:38.440 touch with the Brain Performance Center if they'd like to 291 00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:42.160 get some information about the Brain Performance Center, Well. 292 00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:46.160 We've got that good old fashion website, the Brain Performance 293 00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:48.799 Center dot com, and they can find doctor Lee E. 294 00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:50.200 Richardson on LinkedIn. 295 00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:54.359 Sounds great, sounds great, doctor Richardson.

Who better to talk about this with 301 00:19:09.079 --> 00:19:12.279 than a great friend, Emily Sweeney of the Boston Globe. 302 00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:15.640 And I'm looking forward to talking to Emily, we'll be 303 00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:17.920 back right after the news at the bottom of the hour, 304 00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:21.079 and you can get your Boston accents ready.

I'm telling you Boston's news radio. 307 00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:33.960 All right now. There are some people in other parts 308 00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:36.559 of the country who think that those of us who 309 00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:39.680 grew up in Boston have some form of a Boston accent. 310 00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:43.440 I don't quite frankly, hear that accent at all. However, 311 00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:49.400 the great reporter and social commentator of the Boston Globe, 312 00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:53.240 Emily Sweeney, took on this task to critique Boston accents. 313 00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:59.759 What real Bostonians think about accent portrayals in movies and television. Emily, 314 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:04.880 I don't even recognize a Boston accent. I recognize all 315 00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:07.599 sorts of weird accents from the count around the country. 316 00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:10.319 But we speak really normally up here, don't we. 317 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:13.799 You know, Dan, That's what I think. I mean. I 318 00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:16.319 know sometimes people will be like, wow, your accent, and 319 00:20:16.400 --> 00:20:19.079 I'm like, what, Like, I don't know. I don't hear 320 00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:23.079 it either, but I do hear when I'm bad accent. 321 00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:26.480 Do you say either or either? I say either. 322 00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:29.599 I say either, why's that? 323 00:20:30.799 --> 00:20:32.720 I don't you know, that's a good question. I've never 324 00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:37.000 really thought about it too much, Dan, But you know 325 00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:40.240 either either you know either kid? 326 00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:43.720 Do you say odds or aunt? 327 00:20:44.039 --> 00:20:44.160 Oh? 328 00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:46.680 Of course aunt without a doubt, of course. 329 00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:49.359 So some friends of mine just say, you know, aunt Mary, 330 00:20:50.160 --> 00:20:53.119 aunt Gloria and stuff like that. There's different ways to 331 00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:56.359 pronounce words, So go ahead. I'm not trying to step 332 00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:58.359 on your lines here, and I'm trying to get get 333 00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:02.440 everybody on the same page with us here, because obviously 334 00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:05.960 saying pakrka, that's what you're going to say if you're 335 00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:06.680 in habit. 336 00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:11.160 Hobbit square right, right right, And as all Bostonians know, 337 00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:12.880 you wouldn't even try to pack your car and have 338 00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:16.079 it yet, which is the whole thing. Is kind of weird, of. 339 00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:19.759 Course, right, unless you were conducting a protest or something, 340 00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:24.240 and then you have first something like that. No, so look, 341 00:21:24.279 --> 00:21:27.119 we do have Let's let's explain it for people who 342 00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:29.000 were knowing listening to the show and have never been 343 00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:32.400 to this area before. Many of us feel that the 344 00:21:32.519 --> 00:21:36.319 letter are is a superfluous letter of the twenty six 345 00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:40.079 consonant and vowels that make up you know, the English 346 00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:40.880 language correct. 347 00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:43.839 Yeah, you know, it just kind of rolls off the 348 00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:46.160 tongue and just disappears sometimes. 349 00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:46.319 You know. 350 00:21:46.359 --> 00:21:49.119 What I mean is as opposed it disappears. 351 00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:53.559 Yes, okay, I got you, and yeah, so so, and 352 00:21:54.000 --> 00:21:56.400 it's kind of a it's an interesting topic. You know. 353 00:21:56.920 --> 00:21:59.759 I got to interview a bunch of my colleagues at 354 00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:03.680 the Globe for a Globe Today TV segment, and we 355 00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:06.839 also interviewed members of the public just about like, you know, 356 00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:09.920 what are some of the best and worst Boston accents 357 00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:12.640 we've heard on TV and movies?
