00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:07.639
<v Speaker 1>It's Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm Boston Radio Icale.

2
00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:09.359
<v Speaker 2>Hope you have a great weekend. It's going to be

3
00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:12.320
<v Speaker 2>great weather wise, or wish the Patriots are playing back home,

4
00:00:12.359 --> 00:00:14.279
<v Speaker 2>because I think it's going to be better weather here

5
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:17.039
<v Speaker 2>than in jolly old London. My name is Dan Ray.

6
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:20.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm the host of nightside'd heard every Monday through Friday night.

7
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:24.079
<v Speaker 2>This being a Friday night, it is the last night

8
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:27.719
<v Speaker 2>of this week. If you stick with us till midnight,

9
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:30.399
<v Speaker 2>I'll get you all the way to Saturday, well just

10
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:33.000
<v Speaker 2>right to the cusp of Saturday morning. So stay with us.

11
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:36.399
<v Speaker 2>We have very interesting guests coming up. If you'd like

12
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:41.679
<v Speaker 2>to have your dreams analyzed by a dream expert, we'll

13
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:43.840
<v Speaker 2>do that for you at nine o'clock. You can call

14
00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:47.039
<v Speaker 2>in and talk about the type of dreams, maybe reoccurring

15
00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:50.359
<v Speaker 2>dreams of some crazy dream you had, and this guest

16
00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:52.880
<v Speaker 2>will be able to explain to you what it all means,

17
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:55.600
<v Speaker 2>I think. And then we're going to be talking with

18
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:59.840
<v Speaker 2>Bill Bratton, former police commissioner here in Boston and New York,

19
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.200
<v Speaker 2>and he's the police chief in Los Angeles. They don't

20
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:05.400
<v Speaker 2>have police commissioners, at least his title there was police chief,

21
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:10.959
<v Speaker 2>about security and not only domestic security but international security,

22
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:13.680
<v Speaker 2>security in the context of the next two and a

23
00:01:13.719 --> 00:01:17.159
<v Speaker 2>half weeks between now and November fifth presidential election. And

24
00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:20.040
<v Speaker 2>also there's some suggestions, some stories that are out and

25
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:26.480
<v Speaker 2>about that Iran has floated out some assassination teams looking

26
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.560
<v Speaker 2>to do damage in Western countries and all ask God

27
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.760
<v Speaker 2>Bill Bratton about that. And look, protecting our political leaders,

28
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:38.840
<v Speaker 2>be they democratic or Republican leaders a very very important

29
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:41.519
<v Speaker 2>role for the government to play, that's for sure. And

30
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:44.359
<v Speaker 2>then coming up tonight in the eleventh the twentieth hour

31
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:46.920
<v Speaker 2>or eleven o'clock hour tonight, which goes the twenty hour

32
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.599
<v Speaker 2>of the week, to talk about traffic etiquette. I mean,

33
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:53.680
<v Speaker 2>what have we talked about bad traffic driving a couple

34
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:55.879
<v Speaker 2>of weeks ago, about the sort of things you've seen

35
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 2>people do. But I'm talking about traffic etiquette. You know,

36
00:01:58.599 --> 00:02:01.599
<v Speaker 2>the person who sits in the left hand lane, he

37
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:04.760
<v Speaker 2>goes forty five miles an hour in sixty five mile

38
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:07.280
<v Speaker 2>an hour zone. Well, the person who's in the left

39
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.919
<v Speaker 2>hand lane doing seventy five and some knucklehead has to

40
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:13.360
<v Speaker 2>be up lasting their horn and flashing their lights. We'll

41
00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:16.759
<v Speaker 2>get to all of that. People crazy drivers here in

42
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:18.439
<v Speaker 2>New England. I don't know why, but I think we

43
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:20.680
<v Speaker 2>are and we'll talk about that. But first, we have

44
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:26.479
<v Speaker 2>four really interesting guests for your consideration tonight, and we're

45
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:31.319
<v Speaker 2>going to start off with our first guest, who ironically

46
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.400
<v Speaker 2>is going to talk about election anxiety, amongst other things,

47
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:38.319
<v Speaker 2>Doctor Lee Richardson. Doctor Richardson, Welcome to Night Side. How

48
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:38.960
<v Speaker 2>are you tonight?

49
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:40.639
<v Speaker 3>I am good.

50
00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:42.479
<v Speaker 4>Thank you for having me, Well.

51
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:44.360
<v Speaker 2>Thank you very much for joining us. So you're a

52
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:49.159
<v Speaker 2>licensed professional counselor and founder of the Brain Performance Center.

53
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:53.479
<v Speaker 2>But there was an article, I guess in Forbes Health

54
00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:58.360
<v Speaker 2>that my producer saw about election anxiety, politics and mental health.

55
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:01.759
<v Speaker 2>So it's politics based driving people crazy. I guess that's

56
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:02.879
<v Speaker 2>the opening question.

57
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.560
<v Speaker 4>And there's a one word answer for that. Absolutely.

58
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:07.879
<v Speaker 5>Oh.

59
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:09.800
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was going to be yes. Okay, that's

60
00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:15.879
<v Speaker 2>even more okay. So, other than the interfamilial disputes which

61
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:19.919
<v Speaker 2>clearly exist within our country, within everyone's family, I'm sure,

62
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:22.759
<v Speaker 2>why are people so hot and bothered about it?

63
00:03:24.199 --> 00:03:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Well?

64
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:28.039
<v Speaker 4>They are. Actually it's cyclical. Every four years people get

65
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.680
<v Speaker 4>upset about the election, but this year I think it's

66
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:35.599
<v Speaker 4>really different. Think back, we didn't even know who was

67
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:39.719
<v Speaker 4>going to be running for the election, and is you

68
00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:42.800
<v Speaker 4>know President Biden didn't run who was going to run?

69
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, no, he ran. He ran, and he won the

70
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:51.400
<v Speaker 2>nomination of the Democratic Party, and then he was counseled

71
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 2>by some of the senior advisors that maybe he should

72
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:58.000
<v Speaker 2>step aside, so we have a new candidate. Yes, you're

73
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:00.840
<v Speaker 2>absolutely right there. So it's been kind of a wrinkle

74
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.520
<v Speaker 2>that we haven't seen in a long time in American politics,

75
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:05.039
<v Speaker 2>if ever.

76
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:09.759
<v Speaker 4>And I think that while he did run and did

77
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:14.840
<v Speaker 4>get denomination, the American public started doubting him way before that.

78
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:20.360
<v Speaker 4>And that's uncertainty, and with uncertainty comes fear and the unknown.

79
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:23.439
<v Speaker 4>And I think that this election, we're going into it

80
00:04:23.800 --> 00:04:28.519
<v Speaker 4>and it's a really difficult time. If you look at

81
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:32.360
<v Speaker 4>what's going on around us worldwide, that plays into our

82
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:37.639
<v Speaker 4>consciousness and when you look at what's facing this inflation.

83
00:04:38.279 --> 00:04:41.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean, there are many things other than the good

84
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:45.199
<v Speaker 4>old family battle as to who's right and who's wrong,

85
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.360
<v Speaker 4>and that lives on for generations.

86
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:53.720
<v Speaker 2>So okay, I think you have categorized the problem very accurately.

87
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:56.399
<v Speaker 2>I deal with this every night of the week, well

88
00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:58.279
<v Speaker 2>not every night of the week, but most nights we

89
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:00.920
<v Speaker 2>do something on politics. Tonight, I don't think we will

90
00:05:00.920 --> 00:05:04.519
<v Speaker 2>be doing anything on politics other than this interview, which

91
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:08.360
<v Speaker 2>is merely you're kind of around the edges and you're

92
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:12.519
<v Speaker 2>tangentle to it. And I will tell you that I

93
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:16.639
<v Speaker 2>hope that this election on November fifth has a decisive winner,

94
00:05:17.439 --> 00:05:19.759
<v Speaker 2>because I don't want to go through what we went

95
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:22.399
<v Speaker 2>through in twenty twenty. So the question is, in the meantime,

96
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.920
<v Speaker 2>other than not listening to the news, what should people do?

97
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:27.399
<v Speaker 2>And maybe that's what they should do.

98
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:31.360
<v Speaker 4>Go right inad Well, I think listening to the news

99
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:34.600
<v Speaker 4>a little bit of it is a positive thing. I

100
00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:38.959
<v Speaker 4>think having extreaming twenty four seven is not. And I

101
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:45.240
<v Speaker 4>think using social media as your knowledge base and reading

102
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:52.199
<v Speaker 4>comments and letting those comments influence you it's not positive behavior.

103
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:57.920
<v Speaker 4>And you know, we all know who we disagree with, right, Well,

104
00:05:57.959 --> 00:05:59.120
<v Speaker 4>there's still some people.

105
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:03.439
<v Speaker 2>Who claim, even as late in the game as we are,

106
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:07.720
<v Speaker 2>who are theoretically undecided. So there are some people out

107
00:06:07.759 --> 00:06:10.519
<v Speaker 2>there who are still trying to figure it out for

108
00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:11.240
<v Speaker 2>better or words.

109
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:14.439
<v Speaker 4>Well, and you make a really good point because there's

110
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:18.639
<v Speaker 4>also some people the survey that you mentioned cided twenty

111
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:24.120
<v Speaker 4>seven percent of people are excited about the election. So

112
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:28.240
<v Speaker 4>you're right, there's a lot of variables out there. And

113
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:33.800
<v Speaker 4>how those all come together peacefully and decisively, I think,

114
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:39.040
<v Speaker 4>is the question that we're all trying to project the

115
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:40.839
<v Speaker 4>answer for, Well.

116
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:43.800
<v Speaker 2>We'll see in about two and a half weeks. Tell

117
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:47.040
<v Speaker 2>me you and the founder of the Brain Performance Center,

118
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:52.199
<v Speaker 2>what is that and is that something that my listeners

119
00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:54.720
<v Speaker 2>can be in contact with take advantage of. Tell us

120
00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:56.079
<v Speaker 2>about the Brain Performance Center.

121
00:06:57.079 --> 00:07:00.360
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely. The Brain Performance Center was started in two in

122
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:03.480
<v Speaker 4>a nine and it deals with behavioral health issues which

123
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:07.519
<v Speaker 4>we're all experiencing today as a result of the election.

124
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:12.920
<v Speaker 4>It's anxiety, it's depression, it's stress, it's dealing with that

125
00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:17.639
<v Speaker 4>neurodivergent population and all of that is it's just a

126
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:21.600
<v Speaker 4>dysregulated brain and there are ways that we can train

127
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:25.959
<v Speaker 4>our brain organically to change. And for any of your

128
00:07:26.000 --> 00:07:28.519
<v Speaker 4>listeners that would like to learn more, we have the

129
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:33.240
<v Speaker 4>good old fashioned website, the Brain Performance Center dot com.

130
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:38.519
<v Speaker 4>We also have the Brain Performance Institute dot co for

131
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:44.639
<v Speaker 4>organizations that are looking to create psychological safety. And you know,

132
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:49.000
<v Speaker 4>it is okay to not be okay, but it's not

133
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:51.240
<v Speaker 4>okay if you don't do something about it.

134
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, do you have like little test or analysis that

135
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.240
<v Speaker 2>people can kind of do what this brain performance center

136
00:07:57.319 --> 00:07:59.399
<v Speaker 2>so they can figure out if they are okay.

137
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:03.920
<v Speaker 4>While we do it more scientifically. We actually record the

138
00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:07.439
<v Speaker 4>brand ways and we can flare them to a database

139
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:10.040
<v Speaker 4>and we see, you know, it works off the bell

140
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:14.759
<v Speaker 4>shaped curve. What's it's age specific? And but where is

141
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:18.199
<v Speaker 4>your brain within normal within normal limits?

142
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:21.000
<v Speaker 2>So the people in order to take true advantage that

143
00:08:21.000 --> 00:08:24.319
<v Speaker 2>they have to physically be where the brain performance center is.

144
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:26.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm not exactly sure what's what state or city you're in.

145
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:30.959
<v Speaker 4>We're in Dallas, Texas, Okay, And there are there are

146
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:34.240
<v Speaker 4>organizations across the United States that do the same thing

147
00:08:34.279 --> 00:08:34.799
<v Speaker 4>that we do.

148
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:38.600
<v Speaker 2>I guess is what I'm hearing you say.

149
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:45.000
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, I would encourage anybody that wakes up and thinks,

150
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:47.399
<v Speaker 4>you know, I don't know if I want to do

151
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:51.440
<v Speaker 4>this today or oh not another day? Why is this

152
00:08:51.559 --> 00:08:54.200
<v Speaker 4>so hard? Give me a call, because it can that

153
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:58.399
<v Speaker 4>you calm that brain down and lie it's a game changer.

154
00:08:59.240 --> 00:09:01.279
<v Speaker 2>I would say. I would say it all starts with

155
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:03.759
<v Speaker 2>the brain one way or the other. You wake up

156
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:06.240
<v Speaker 2>in the morning and the first thought is oh the

157
00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:08.840
<v Speaker 2>alarm clock. I gotta get up. I hear you, I

158
00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:13.080
<v Speaker 2>hear you. Doctor Richardson. Always appreciate talking to you. I

159
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:16.159
<v Speaker 2>think we've talked before, and I hope we're gonna talk again.

160
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:19.759
<v Speaker 4>Thanks so much, Thanks you, Bye bye.

161
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:23.039
<v Speaker 2>When we come back, we're going to get a little local.

162
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:25.759
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna talk with Mark shield Drop. He's seen your

163
00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:30.279
<v Speaker 2>spokesman for Triple A. And guess what. Deer crashes are

164
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:34.279
<v Speaker 2>increasing by leaps and bounds, and it is that time

165
00:09:34.320 --> 00:09:39.240
<v Speaker 2>of year. We will explain I had won many years ago.

166
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:42.799
<v Speaker 2>I'm not even gonna bother to tell you. Maybe I

167
00:09:42.840 --> 00:09:45.080
<v Speaker 2>will tell you this story. I don't know, but you

168
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:48.039
<v Speaker 2>have to be a little careful with those little with

169
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.440
<v Speaker 2>those big deer running around, all their homeowners are going crazy.

170
00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:55.120
<v Speaker 2>I'll explain why when we talk with Mark shield Drop

185
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:42.039
<v Speaker 6>I suspect you probably have seen a little more activity

186
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:46.879
<v Speaker 6>of the deer running hither thither and Yon with us

187
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:50.240
<v Speaker 6>is Mark shield Drop, senior spokesperson for tripa A, and

188
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:52.120
<v Speaker 6>he's going to explain what's going on.

189
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:54.559
<v Speaker 2>It's a seasonal thing, correct, Mark.

190
00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:55.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it is.

191
00:10:55.799 --> 00:10:56.759
<v Speaker 5>And thanks for having me Dan.

192
00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:59.440
<v Speaker 2>It's great to be back in order to have you,

193
00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:01.639
<v Speaker 2>by the way, one of my favorite guests. Right ahead.

194
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:05.879
<v Speaker 5>Oh wow, I'm writing that down. It's mating season for

195
00:11:05.919 --> 00:11:08.840
<v Speaker 5>the deer, and when in its mating season they get

196
00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:12.279
<v Speaker 5>a little frisky. That means they get bolder, more aggressive.

197
00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:15.120
<v Speaker 5>And when deer on the move, it tends to be

198
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:19.200
<v Speaker 5>in the afternoon around dusk and the days are getting shorter,

199
00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:23.200
<v Speaker 5>and when it's dusk, that's like matching up perfectly with

200
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:25.919
<v Speaker 5>our commute home from work. So it's really a recipe

201
00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:28.159
<v Speaker 5>for a lot of crashes because he got more active deer,

202
00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:30.399
<v Speaker 5>a lot of people on the road, so that all

203
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.519
<v Speaker 5>those things lines up, line up. So that's why we

204
00:11:32.600 --> 00:11:36.200
<v Speaker 5>see almost half of all deer crashes over the course

205
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:40.000
<v Speaker 5>of the year happened between October, November and December. So

206
00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:43.200
<v Speaker 5>we like to remind folks it's deer mating season. It's

207
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:45.039
<v Speaker 5>it time to be extra alert. You're going to see

208
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:47.639
<v Speaker 5>carcasses on the roadway. Now you're going to see the

209
00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:50.960
<v Speaker 5>aftermath of some of these crashes, and there's a lot

210
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:54.000
<v Speaker 5>of crashes involving deer and folks out there these days.

211
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, what it comes down to is the deer will

212
00:11:55.960 --> 00:11:57.639
<v Speaker 2>looking for love and all the wrong places.

213
00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:01.039
<v Speaker 5>I think, yeah, they are, you know, on the roadway.

214
00:12:01.159 --> 00:12:04.000
<v Speaker 5>It's a terrible place for deer, but it happens to

215
00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:05.960
<v Speaker 5>be kind of an ideal environment for them. So I'm

216
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:08.279
<v Speaker 5>not a wildlife expert, but I have some interest in

217
00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:09.960
<v Speaker 5>this topic and I did cover it a bit when

218
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:12.679
<v Speaker 5>I was a journalist before working with Triple A. So

219
00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:15.120
<v Speaker 5>I've talked to some wildlife folks and a lot of

220
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.960
<v Speaker 5>our roads, you know, have a tree line like a buffer,

221
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:20.919
<v Speaker 5>and then oftentimes it's next to kind of an open area,

222
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:24.120
<v Speaker 5>whether it's lawns or golf courses or grass. They love

223
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:27.159
<v Speaker 5>those buffer zones. They love to kind of walk along

224
00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:29.559
<v Speaker 5>a field along the tree line. So that's a lot

225
00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:30.279
<v Speaker 5>of our roadways.

226
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:31.759
<v Speaker 3>So that's why we see them a lot.

227
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:37.240
<v Speaker 5>I think, on the highway and hit one. I've never

228
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:39.960
<v Speaker 5>hit one personally, but I've been in a car with

229
00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:42.879
<v Speaker 5>someone to hit one, and it was quite an ordeal.

230
00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:43.879
<v Speaker 5>And we weren't even going that.

231
00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:48.200
<v Speaker 2>Like giving a stone wall it is. It is the

232
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:51.879
<v Speaker 2>big one that that I hit long, long time ago.

233
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:56.240
<v Speaker 2>We were headed to Thanksgiving dinner on Martha's vineyard. This

234
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:59.200
<v Speaker 2>is going to be sometime in the nineteen nineties, I'm guessing.

235
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:04.840
<v Speaker 2>And I saw a car in the distance flashing its

236
00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:06.960
<v Speaker 2>lights and I thought they were telling me, well, there's

237
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:10.600
<v Speaker 2>a police officer had slowed down. It wasn't going that fast.

238
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:14.559
<v Speaker 2>As soon as the car passed me, all of a sudden,

239
00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:16.679
<v Speaker 2>it was like I hit a stone wall and I'm

240
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:21.679
<v Speaker 2>still on the road, and next thing I saw Bamby

241
00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:24.559
<v Speaker 2>flying through the air. It was really like a movie

242
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:27.600
<v Speaker 2>with blood spray on the windshield. I hope every no

243
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:29.399
<v Speaker 2>one's having dinner while we're talking about this.

244
00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:30.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

245
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:32.679
<v Speaker 2>I went to pull over to try to help the deer,

246
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:34.519
<v Speaker 2>and my wife said, what are you doing? I said,

247
00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:40.639
<v Speaker 2>I want to see if the deer's eaten nuts. So, yeah,

248
00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:43.000
<v Speaker 2>the kids in the back seat, two of them. What

249
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:47.879
<v Speaker 2>was that? What was that? I think my wife said something. Well,

250
00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Daddy just bumped into Bamby.

251
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:52.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

252
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:55.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's not fun. They're beautiful and majestic. Well, unfortunately

253
00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:58.679
<v Speaker 5>they're less and less afraid of us, which seems to

254
00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:01.840
<v Speaker 5>be not helping them problem. And then there's a massive

255
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:04.639
<v Speaker 5>deer over population problem. So I pulled a total number

256
00:14:04.639 --> 00:14:07.759
<v Speaker 5>of deer crashes in Massachusetts by year. I started twenty

257
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:09.080
<v Speaker 5>twenty three. I went all the way back to two

258
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:12.720
<v Speaker 5>thousand and two, so two thousand and two, eleven hundred

259
00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:15.559
<v Speaker 5>and four crashes, and then let's skip ahead ten years,

260
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.279
<v Speaker 5>so twenty twelve, nineteen hundred and forty eight.

261
00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:19.840
<v Speaker 2>We're going to the wrong direction.

262
00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:23.960
<v Speaker 5>Last year, Yeah, last year thirty eight hundred and sixty seven.

263
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that's doubling.

264
00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:30.679
<v Speaker 5>Every ten years, it really is, And it's just every

265
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:33.440
<v Speaker 5>year more and more and more. So there's more deal

266
00:14:33.519 --> 00:14:33.840
<v Speaker 5>out there.

267
00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:36.279
<v Speaker 2>I remember one year I was on the early morning

268
00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:38.759
<v Speaker 2>news and it was heading to some story at five o'clock.

269
00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:40.759
<v Speaker 2>Four five o'clock in the morning. Light had just come up.

270
00:14:40.799 --> 00:14:43.639
<v Speaker 2>It was mid November, and I looked about I don't know,

271
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:45.600
<v Speaker 2>a quarter of a mile ahead, and there was this

272
00:14:45.720 --> 00:14:48.840
<v Speaker 2>deer that was trying to cross the road. There wasn't

273
00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:52.320
<v Speaker 2>much traffic, but the deer was sort of like slipping

274
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:54.519
<v Speaker 2>it sliding. It was like, come ons, the deer get

275
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.519
<v Speaker 2>going going? Yeah, right, the hoofs on the road. They

276
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:03.440
<v Speaker 2>they the houss on a major roadway that they have

277
00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:06.639
<v Speaker 2>a tough time getting some traction. I've seen it in person.

278
00:15:07.799 --> 00:15:12.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, they're skittish, uh and and they can often they

279
00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:14.879
<v Speaker 5>can jump really high. I have no folks who are

280
00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:17.440
<v Speaker 5>just driving along and a deer just launched out of

281
00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:18.480
<v Speaker 5>the woods like right.

282
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:20.039
<v Speaker 3>Into the side of the car, like for.

283
00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:24.799
<v Speaker 5>No reason apparently. So it's unsettling when it happens. Fortunately,

284
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:27.519
<v Speaker 5>we haven't had a lot of fatalities from these crashes,

285
00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:30.639
<v Speaker 5>but they cause a lot of damage, you know, they can.

286
00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:34.039
<v Speaker 5>They can really be stressful, and they caused some injuries too.

287
00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:37.120
<v Speaker 5>You know, folks who've had the misfortune of a deer

288
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:40.159
<v Speaker 5>going through the windshield. You know, that's that's an image

289
00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:42.200
<v Speaker 5>you're not gonna get out of your mind anytime soon.

290
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:44.559
<v Speaker 5>You can get, you know, pretty badly hurt from that.

291
00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:47.159
<v Speaker 2>So I will tell I will tell this story the

292
00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:49.440
<v Speaker 2>weekend of the Monday that I came in after the

293
00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:52.559
<v Speaker 2>deer strike. Five thousand dollars damage to the front of

294
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:55.519
<v Speaker 2>my car. By the way, it was the easily damage.

295
00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:57.720
<v Speaker 2>And I wasn't I mean, I really wasn't going that

296
00:15:57.799 --> 00:16:00.279
<v Speaker 2>fast because I had slowed down thinking there was a

297
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:03.799
<v Speaker 2>police officer. So I was telling the story in the

298
00:16:03.840 --> 00:16:07.240
<v Speaker 2>newsroom that day that following Monday, and one of my

299
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:10.720
<v Speaker 2>colleagues I'll not identify who it was, said something like,

300
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:13.879
<v Speaker 2>that's nothing, So what do you talk about nothing? My

301
00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:17.600
<v Speaker 2>brother was driving up in Maine and he decapitated a deer.

302
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:21.159
<v Speaker 2>The deer had smashed through the windshield and landed in

303
00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:23.480
<v Speaker 2>the lap of his daughter, who was sitting in the

304
00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:24.679
<v Speaker 2>passenger front seat.

305
00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:26.320
<v Speaker 3>Oh that's horrifying.

306
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:29.679
<v Speaker 2>How many years of therapy has she been?

307
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:33.080
<v Speaker 5>Oh my god, don't don't player the Godfather or anything

308
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:33.440
<v Speaker 5>like that.

309
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:34.759
<v Speaker 3>Oh no, No.

310
00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:37.600
<v Speaker 2>The other question is, how does Massachusetts compare to other

311
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:39.879
<v Speaker 2>New England states. In New Hampshire, I guess they worry

312
00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:42.480
<v Speaker 2>about hitting moose, which can even be more US.

313
00:16:43.759 --> 00:16:45.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you know, that's a good question.

314
00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:48.039
<v Speaker 3>I would have to do some comparisons.

315
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:48.759
<v Speaker 2>But a big.

316
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:51.480
<v Speaker 5>Problem throughout all our territory at triple in northeast. So

317
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:53.480
<v Speaker 5>when we put the advisory out in mass we also

318
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:55.840
<v Speaker 5>are putting on New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and the

319
00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:58.240
<v Speaker 5>numbers are pretty much across the board going in the

320
00:16:58.279 --> 00:17:00.360
<v Speaker 5>same direction, and there's a lot of crash and on

321
00:17:00.399 --> 00:17:03.399
<v Speaker 5>all those states and the more rural parts of New

322
00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:05.680
<v Speaker 5>Hampshire Vermont. I think just due to the fact that

323
00:17:05.880 --> 00:17:09.119
<v Speaker 5>fewer people driving around, maybe they have less of an

324
00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:11.680
<v Speaker 5>issue in terms of number of crashes. But I think

325
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:14.200
<v Speaker 5>the frequency, as far as the odds of hitting one,

326
00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:16.319
<v Speaker 5>they're certainly going to be high when you're driving in

327
00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:19.119
<v Speaker 5>those areas because you know it's prime territory for those creatures.

328
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:21.000
<v Speaker 2>I'll tell you what worked for me. I went to

329
00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:25.119
<v Speaker 2>a you know, a hunting and gaming store, and those

330
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:29.599
<v Speaker 2>little plastic deer horns you mount on your front bumper

331
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:35.599
<v Speaker 2>they worked. They really do. They set out some sort

332
00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:39.799
<v Speaker 2>of a signal, you know, just a high pitch properly whistle,

333
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:43.960
<v Speaker 2>and they're pretty cheap. They're just plastic, and I can

334
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:47.000
<v Speaker 2>remember so many times driving along and realizing that there

335
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:49.279
<v Speaker 2>was a deer that did not cross the road in

336
00:17:49.279 --> 00:17:52.640
<v Speaker 2>front of me. I would recommend, at least my experience.

337
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:56.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't endures any product that I haven't used, but

338
00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:59.160
<v Speaker 2>I use those for three or four years and they worked,

339
00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:00.839
<v Speaker 2>They really did. I was out.

340
00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:04.599
<v Speaker 5>I think, yeah, I think that those are maybe a

341
00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:06.599
<v Speaker 5>good deterrent. You got to make sure you install it correctly,

342
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:09.440
<v Speaker 5>you know, and and you know, there's different types out there,

343
00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:11.240
<v Speaker 5>and I haven't looked into them too much myself. People

344
00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:12.759
<v Speaker 5>have asked me if they work, and I say, hey, look,

345
00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:14.079
<v Speaker 5>you know, as long as you're not covering up an

346
00:18:14.079 --> 00:18:17.119
<v Speaker 5>important sensor or something, and you can install it properly.

347
00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:21.559
<v Speaker 2>There's no hart, just simply little plastic things. They looked

348
00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:24.720
<v Speaker 2>like a horn and you just yeah, they were self

349
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:26.400
<v Speaker 2>glued down to you and you could take them off.

350
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:29.319
<v Speaker 2>I mean, but they stayed. They stood the test of time,

351
00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:32.839
<v Speaker 2>and they I thought they were pretty good investment and

352
00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:34.559
<v Speaker 2>might have saved the deer or two along the way.

353
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:37.599
<v Speaker 2>Hey Mark, thank you much. I enjoyed the conversation with

354
00:18:37.640 --> 00:18:41.160
<v Speaker 2>you as always. Triple A available folks. I'm a Triple

355
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:45.200
<v Speaker 2>A member. I would advise other people to it's all

356
00:18:45.279 --> 00:18:47.920
<v Speaker 2>it's it's a great investment. Trust me. We use Triple

357
00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:51.599
<v Speaker 2>A all the time and they're great people. Absolutely, thanks Mark.

358
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:53.839
<v Speaker 5>Appreciate it very much. Thanks for the kind of words, Dan,

359
00:18:53.920 --> 00:18:54.440
<v Speaker 5>have great night.

360
00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:57.480
<v Speaker 2>Well they're from the heart. Thank you much. Taking a break,

361
00:18:57.680 --> 00:18:59.839
<v Speaker 2>we come back when to talk with a Medicare consultant

362
00:18:59.880 --> 00:19:03.119
<v Speaker 2>and certified financial planner. We are getting into the Medicare

363
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:07.240
<v Speaker 2>season and we have all the mustnos to avoid coverage

364
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:11.279
<v Speaker 2>gaps available with Joh coming back right after the news

365
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:12.640
<v Speaker 2>at the bottom of the air of My name is

366
00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Dan Ray, and you're listening to Nightside.

367
00:19:15.960 --> 00:19:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm w Boston's news radio.

368
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:25.039
<v Speaker 2>All right, we are coming upon the time of year

369
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:28.680
<v Speaker 2>when people who are on Medicaid or looking to get

370
00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:34.240
<v Speaker 2>on Medicaid have a window to apply and it's not easy.

371
00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:38.240
<v Speaker 2>It's not simple. I find it confusing with us. Now

372
00:19:38.319 --> 00:19:41.799
<v Speaker 2>is Jay Oh. He's a Medicare consultant and certified financial

373
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:45.319
<v Speaker 2>planner and hopefully he's going to simplify it for us.

374
00:19:46.640 --> 00:19:48.519
<v Speaker 2>Jay Oh, welcome to nightside. How are you?

375
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:51.880
<v Speaker 3>Thank you very much for having me Dan, How are

376
00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:52.279
<v Speaker 3>you today?

377
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:55.480
<v Speaker 2>More than welcome? Is it as confusing? I am not

378
00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:58.960
<v Speaker 2>on medicare, but I got to tell you, from what

379
00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:02.799
<v Speaker 2>I know about it, it's everyone tells me it's confusing,

380
00:20:03.680 --> 00:20:08.200
<v Speaker 2>am I it is? How confusing? Is it? I'll ask you.

381
00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:10.480
<v Speaker 2>I'll ask it to you that way, not necessarily to

382
00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:12.720
<v Speaker 2>you because you know it, but to the average person

383
00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:14.319
<v Speaker 2>who's going to try to get on for the first

384
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:15.920
<v Speaker 2>time or renew their membership.

385
00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:22.160
<v Speaker 3>Sure, I think that first many people who have been

386
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:27.160
<v Speaker 3>employed and have had benefits, health insurance benefits from their employer.

387
00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:31.480
<v Speaker 3>The issue is that they have to learn a language

388
00:20:31.480 --> 00:20:35.559
<v Speaker 3>that they've never really faced. They face a menu of

389
00:20:35.599 --> 00:20:40.000
<v Speaker 3>selections which it can seem overwhelming compared to the one

390
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:42.839
<v Speaker 3>or two plans that you kind of get offered by

391
00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:47.200
<v Speaker 3>your employer. And that's it. Well, under Medicare, we've got

392
00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:51.480
<v Speaker 3>a lot of moving parts. We've got many, many different alternatives,

393
00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:56.160
<v Speaker 3>we have different checkpoints in terms of time, the rules

394
00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:03.920
<v Speaker 3>of medicare, eligibility, enrollment, they are complicated. Admittedly that all said,

395
00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:10.240
<v Speaker 3>I also spend time with yourselves, the public other capacities

396
00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:16.880
<v Speaker 3>because at the end, the quality of coverage that you

397
00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:20.680
<v Speaker 3>can access, at the price at which you can access

398
00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:25.960
<v Speaker 3>it will be very likely superior to anything that you've

399
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:29.519
<v Speaker 3>had in the US, you know, prior to turning sixty five.

400
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:32.759
<v Speaker 3>And so I don't want to be passing the message

401
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:36.720
<v Speaker 3>of be frightened and be frozen. There's work to do

402
00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:42.799
<v Speaker 3>and things to understand. That said, the outcome very usually

403
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:43.319
<v Speaker 3>is worth it.

404
00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:50.079
<v Speaker 2>So first, people who for whatever reason find it complicated,

405
00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:54.119
<v Speaker 2>can they reach out to people like you? Are their

406
00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:59.279
<v Speaker 2>private medicare consultants? If you're a medicare consultant, certified financial planner.

407
00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Are there enough of those folks around the country who

408
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:07.559
<v Speaker 2>can make themselves available to help people, particularly the first

409
00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:12.960
<v Speaker 2>time or does one have to be very wealthy to

410
00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:17.319
<v Speaker 2>even consider using the services of a medicare a consultant

411
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:19.000
<v Speaker 2>and a certified financial planner.

412
00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:24.160
<v Speaker 3>Access to medicare is as democratic as it gets.

413
00:22:24.200 --> 00:22:27.640
<v Speaker 2>Pointing that everybody, yeah.

414
00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:32.880
<v Speaker 3>Exactly, and access So for example, people like me, if

415
00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:36.480
<v Speaker 3>you're coming to us and you can see information about

416
00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:42.279
<v Speaker 3>my book Maximize your Medicare dot com, there's contact ability

417
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:47.119
<v Speaker 3>and our consults for pure medicare are free of charge,

418
00:22:48.359 --> 00:22:49.559
<v Speaker 3>So nice.

419
00:22:49.880 --> 00:22:52.400
<v Speaker 2>And do you do it you're located in Boston. We

420
00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:55.200
<v Speaker 2>have listeners all over the eastern half of the US.

421
00:22:56.920 --> 00:23:00.279
<v Speaker 2>Do you have a website? You know, whenever someone comes

422
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:03.799
<v Speaker 2>on here and they are for informational services, I'd like

423
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:08.119
<v Speaker 2>to try to put people in contact. And in this

424
00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:11.079
<v Speaker 2>day and age, the telephone still works, so.

425
00:23:12.599 --> 00:23:14.599
<v Speaker 3>I don't work internetwork.

426
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Can they get in touch with you?

427
00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:22.359
<v Speaker 3>Sure? The best way is the official website for my book,

428
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:27.559
<v Speaker 3>which is Maximize your Medicare dot com. And there are

429
00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:33.279
<v Speaker 3>tons of resources, videos in recordings of interviews kind of

430
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:36.240
<v Speaker 3>similar to this. Not as good, of course as you

431
00:23:36.839 --> 00:23:40.599
<v Speaker 3>but you can understand my point that there are resources.

432
00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:45.640
<v Speaker 3>And every state also has something called SHIP, which is

433
00:23:46.519 --> 00:23:54.200
<v Speaker 3>government funded volunteer staffs Medicare guidance. Now the caveat there

434
00:23:54.640 --> 00:23:59.799
<v Speaker 3>is that they are not licensed. That doesn't mean that

435
00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:04.160
<v Speaker 3>the information is wrong. In fact, I am the ex

436
00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:08.200
<v Speaker 3>colleague of the entire group that has educated all of

437
00:24:08.240 --> 00:24:10.400
<v Speaker 3>them nationwide.

438
00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:15.160
<v Speaker 2>One of one of the things that I learned when

439
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:19.720
<v Speaker 2>I became eligible for Medicare when you become sixty five,

440
00:24:20.920 --> 00:24:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Unlike Social Security, where you can take it early, you

441
00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:26.799
<v Speaker 2>can take it late and all that with Medicare. Even

442
00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:29.160
<v Speaker 2>if you are going to continue to work and therefore

443
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:33.880
<v Speaker 2>you do not need Medicare. You still have to sign

444
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:36.720
<v Speaker 2>up for Medicare and get a Medicare card because if

445
00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:40.920
<v Speaker 2>you don't sign up, I believe that there's some penalties

446
00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:45.759
<v Speaker 2>that can occur at that time when you want to

447
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:46.559
<v Speaker 2>go on Medicare.

448
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:53.799
<v Speaker 3>So I had spoken about complicated rules, and here's you've

449
00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:56.680
<v Speaker 3>mentioned one. So I wrote, that's my job.

450
00:24:56.799 --> 00:24:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Jay.

451
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:05.079
<v Speaker 3>I wrote an article that appears in Kiplinger, a byline

452
00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:10.119
<v Speaker 3>there Kiplinger, a personal finance magazine, and it is the

453
00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:13.799
<v Speaker 3>number one thing, especially as you rightly point out that people,

454
00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:20.599
<v Speaker 3>in order to get the maximum from Social Security, they delay.

455
00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:25.319
<v Speaker 3>But Medicare eligibility is still sixty five. There's a lot

456
00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:30.240
<v Speaker 3>of misinformation in the world about laate enrollment penalties, but

457
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:34.359
<v Speaker 3>the basic guideline is that if you are the full

458
00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:40.960
<v Speaker 3>time employee and your employer is providing health insurance, you

459
00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:47.960
<v Speaker 3>do not need to enroll in Part B and you

460
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:52.640
<v Speaker 3>will not incur a late enrollment penalty. There are many

461
00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:56.519
<v Speaker 3>different parts. Part A, which is the first line of

462
00:25:56.559 --> 00:26:02.920
<v Speaker 3>this card, that generally people do. But that's just because

463
00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:05.039
<v Speaker 3>the price is zero, right.

464
00:26:05.119 --> 00:26:10.799
<v Speaker 2>But that let me I understand because I understand enough

465
00:26:10.839 --> 00:26:13.599
<v Speaker 2>of this to be dangerous. Let's assume someone turns sixty

466
00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:18.480
<v Speaker 2>five tomorrow and whatever the grace period is they choose

467
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:20.400
<v Speaker 2>and they say, well, I'm still working, I'm a full

468
00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:22.759
<v Speaker 2>time person. I won't need Medicare or any of that

469
00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:26.279
<v Speaker 2>stuff until I'm probably seventy. And they wait until they're

470
00:26:26.319 --> 00:26:29.400
<v Speaker 2>seventy and then they say, Okay, I got to get

471
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:34.039
<v Speaker 2>my Medicare coverage. Better get my Medicare card. Is there

472
00:26:34.079 --> 00:26:39.440
<v Speaker 2>not a bit of a problem that can occur if

473
00:26:39.480 --> 00:26:42.920
<v Speaker 2>you do not at least sign up and secure the

474
00:26:42.920 --> 00:26:45.960
<v Speaker 2>Medicare card, whether you avail yourself of it or not

475
00:26:46.319 --> 00:26:49.359
<v Speaker 2>when you do turn sixty five. If I'm wrong, please

476
00:26:49.720 --> 00:26:50.240
<v Speaker 2>correct me.

477
00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:55.880
<v Speaker 3>You do not have a penalty. You do not, so

478
00:26:55.960 --> 00:26:56.559
<v Speaker 3>you give a way.

479
00:26:57.039 --> 00:26:59.359
<v Speaker 2>So what you're saying is people do not have to

480
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:02.480
<v Speaker 2>They can wait until they need Medicare. They don't have

481
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:04.960
<v Speaker 2>to secure a card at sixty five. I was under

482
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:07.519
<v Speaker 2>the I was under that impression. And if that's a misimpression,

483
00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:08.920
<v Speaker 2>thank you for correcting me.

484
00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:14.880
<v Speaker 3>And you can see you're not alone in this short

485
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:18.920
<v Speaker 3>little to and fro, right, which is that this the

486
00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:22.240
<v Speaker 3>Medicare system has a number of rules and people are

487
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:27.480
<v Speaker 3>afraid of something that says penalty, and it is if

488
00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:31.960
<v Speaker 3>you incur it, it never ends. But this is but

489
00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:34.200
<v Speaker 3>the point here, the nuance here is that if you

490
00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:38.799
<v Speaker 3>have health insurance as a full time employee covered by

491
00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:42.400
<v Speaker 3>your employer, then no, no.

492
00:27:43.400 --> 00:27:45.519
<v Speaker 2>Or if you are a full time employee and you're

493
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:49.599
<v Speaker 2>covered by your spouse's insurance, I also believe that that

494
00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:53.480
<v Speaker 2>you are protected, you're not obligated to take to pay

495
00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:59.319
<v Speaker 2>for Medicare. Again, that's another wrinkle. I think I'm correct

496
00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:00.799
<v Speaker 2>on that, but tell me if I'm wrong.

497
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:05.720
<v Speaker 3>More wrinkles, which is that as long as the spouse

498
00:28:05.960 --> 00:28:09.759
<v Speaker 3>is the full time employee. So, in other words, if

499
00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:15.000
<v Speaker 3>your spouse is retired and let's say retired early sixty

500
00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:17.839
<v Speaker 3>three because that person didn't like their job or they

501
00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:22.640
<v Speaker 3>were able to access retirement, and then you turn sixty five,

502
00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:29.920
<v Speaker 3>your spouse is retired, you cannot use her spouses or

503
00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:32.799
<v Speaker 3>the sixty three year olds health insurance at the time

504
00:28:32.799 --> 00:28:34.920
<v Speaker 3>that you turn sixty five. You need to be the

505
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:39.119
<v Speaker 3>spouse of a full time employee covered by health insurance.

506
00:28:39.079 --> 00:28:42.039
<v Speaker 2>In this day A number of combinations, Jay, in this

507
00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:44.599
<v Speaker 2>day and age is I'm sure you probably know better

508
00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:47.119
<v Speaker 2>than I. There are more and more people who are

509
00:28:47.119 --> 00:28:50.960
<v Speaker 2>working full time sixty five, and married couples are working

510
00:28:51.039 --> 00:28:54.200
<v Speaker 2>full time past sixty five. Both my wife and I,

511
00:28:54.440 --> 00:28:58.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, oh past sixty five, we're both working full time,

512
00:28:58.400 --> 00:29:02.400
<v Speaker 2>and in our situation, she has a better health insurance plan,

513
00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:05.359
<v Speaker 2>So I understand that. But I was always on the

514
00:29:05.400 --> 00:29:07.920
<v Speaker 2>impression that if you didn't get maybe there are some

515
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:11.359
<v Speaker 2>circumstances that when if you don't get that Medicare card

516
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:14.200
<v Speaker 2>and you sign up late, there's some penalties, which means

517
00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:16.960
<v Speaker 2>that we need to do this again and maybe in

518
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:19.359
<v Speaker 2>the next couple of weeks and do another take on

519
00:29:19.440 --> 00:29:23.079
<v Speaker 2>Medicare and provide more information to people, because I thought

520
00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:26.480
<v Speaker 2>this is a this is a very helpful conversation for me,

521
00:29:26.519 --> 00:29:28.599
<v Speaker 2>and I hope it's been a helpful conversation with people

522
00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:30.559
<v Speaker 2>in my audience. Could I get you to come back

523
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:32.640
<v Speaker 2>in the next couple of weeks and we'll take another

524
00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:33.400
<v Speaker 2>bite at the apple.

525
00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:39.200
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, the number of iterations we can combinations is dizzy,

526
00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:43.359
<v Speaker 3>and I recognize there I'll get a better one for you.

527
00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:47.759
<v Speaker 2>I have a better recommendation. Why don't we plan on

528
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:50.599
<v Speaker 2>doing an hour sometime in the next week or so.

529
00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:54.519
<v Speaker 2>If if your schedule permits, and we during this hour

530
00:29:54.640 --> 00:29:56.720
<v Speaker 2>we just do an interview. We don't take phone calls

531
00:29:56.720 --> 00:30:00.240
<v Speaker 2>from nine to twelve. Nine to midnight, we open our

532
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:03.519
<v Speaker 2>phone lines, so during those hours that would allow people

533
00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:06.799
<v Speaker 2>to call and ask you questions. I think that might

534
00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:07.759
<v Speaker 2>even be more helpful.

535
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:12.319
<v Speaker 3>What say you, I'll make myself available, no problem.

536
00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:13.880
<v Speaker 2>We'll get back in touch with it. Jay. Thank you

537
00:30:13.960 --> 00:30:15.839
<v Speaker 2>very much. And again, the name of your book is

538
00:30:16.359 --> 00:30:20.119
<v Speaker 2>Maximize your Medicare dot com, so people get a head

539
00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:23.200
<v Speaker 2>start on our on our next conversation. Thanks very much.

540
00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:28.279
<v Speaker 2>I really enjoyed this conversation, and thanks for setting me

541
00:30:28.319 --> 00:30:31.799
<v Speaker 2>straight on a couple of things. I am not someone

542
00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:34.920
<v Speaker 2>who claims to know everything about everything. You're the expert here,

543
00:30:34.920 --> 00:30:38.279
<v Speaker 2>and I appreciate you taking the time my privilege.

544
00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:39.480
<v Speaker 3>Dan, Thanks for having me.

545
00:30:39.480 --> 00:30:42.319
<v Speaker 2>We'll talk to you soon. Okay, when we come back,

546
00:30:42.440 --> 00:30:44.680
<v Speaker 2>We're going to talk about a subject we all can

547
00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:47.200
<v Speaker 2>agree upon, and a subject there over which there is

548
00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:49.680
<v Speaker 2>no confusion, and that is we are in for a

549
00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:56.440
<v Speaker 2>beautiful mid October, mid to late October weekend weather here

550
00:30:56.559 --> 00:30:58.720
<v Speaker 2>in at least most of New England, and we are

551
00:30:58.759 --> 00:31:01.519
<v Speaker 2>gonna we're going to We talked with Brian Thompson of

552
00:31:01.920 --> 00:31:05.240
<v Speaker 2>AKI Weather. Right after this break on Nightside Stick with Us.

553
00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:09.279
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

554
00:31:09.480 --> 00:31:12.599
<v Speaker 1>night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.

555
00:31:14.119 --> 00:31:17.559
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't think if the weather folks are correct,

556
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:20.480
<v Speaker 2>that we're ever going to have a weekend as beautiful

557
00:31:20.519 --> 00:31:23.000
<v Speaker 2>as these next two days, at least at this time

558
00:31:23.079 --> 00:31:26.720
<v Speaker 2>of year with us is Brian Thompson of AKI Weather.

559
00:31:26.799 --> 00:31:33.200
<v Speaker 2>AKI Weather Meteorologist Brian Thompson. Brian, it appears that this

560
00:31:33.279 --> 00:31:35.640
<v Speaker 2>weekend is going to be on a scale of zero

561
00:31:35.759 --> 00:31:37.920
<v Speaker 2>to ten, about a twelve and a half. What's going on.

562
00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:42.000
<v Speaker 7>We have a pretty warm weather pattern shaping up, But Dan,

563
00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:44.720
<v Speaker 7>we've had an area of high pressure that's been sitting

564
00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:47.440
<v Speaker 7>off to our west for the last few days. This

565
00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:50.519
<v Speaker 7>what's been bringing us this dry weather. I mean, it

566
00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:52.720
<v Speaker 7>has been on the chili side most of the week,

567
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:54.759
<v Speaker 7>but for most of the time, with the exception of

568
00:31:54.799 --> 00:31:57.079
<v Speaker 7>a little while yesterday afternoon and evening, we've been seeing

569
00:31:57.160 --> 00:31:59.720
<v Speaker 7>quite a bit of sunshine throughout the last few days.

570
00:31:59.759 --> 00:32:01.599
<v Speaker 7>But that high is going to be a shifting more

571
00:32:01.640 --> 00:32:03.519
<v Speaker 7>to the south as we had through the next few days,

572
00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:05.599
<v Speaker 7>and that's going to allow some warmer air to start

573
00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:07.960
<v Speaker 7>to move on in so we'll consider to see a

574
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:10.519
<v Speaker 7>lot of sunshine with the high pressure area nearby. There's

575
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:13.640
<v Speaker 7>been really very few clouds again, outside of the clouds

576
00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:16.200
<v Speaker 7>we had yesterday, there's been very few clouds last couple

577
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:20.000
<v Speaker 7>of days really all across the eastern US. It's just

578
00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:22.319
<v Speaker 7>not really much cloud covering this pattern. So we're seeing

579
00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:24.759
<v Speaker 7>a lot of sunshine. That'll be the case all weekend long.

580
00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:27.640
<v Speaker 7>And we saw a little taste of that warmer air today.

581
00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:29.559
<v Speaker 7>We didn't get into the sixties, and many spots that

582
00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:31.720
<v Speaker 7>tomorrow will be up near seventy and then into the

583
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:34.640
<v Speaker 7>loads to mid seventies on Sunday. Our average hires are

584
00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:37.480
<v Speaker 7>in the low sixties this time of year, so it's

585
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:40.839
<v Speaker 7>not terribly common to have weekends this warm, this late

586
00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:41.599
<v Speaker 7>in October.

587
00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:45.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, eventually, I assume the law of averages

588
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:47.599
<v Speaker 2>would make us pay for this, but when you get

589
00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:49.400
<v Speaker 2>a weekend like this. We got the Head of the

590
00:32:49.480 --> 00:32:53.160
<v Speaker 2>Charles in Boston this weekend, which is spectacular no matter

591
00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:56.279
<v Speaker 2>what the weather, although then it's some soaking rains at

592
00:32:56.319 --> 00:32:59.279
<v Speaker 2>some of the heads ahead of the Childs races in

593
00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:02.960
<v Speaker 2>the past. So I missed what you said, So if

594
00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:05.640
<v Speaker 2>we do hit seventy tomorrow in a little better than

595
00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:11.480
<v Speaker 2>seventy with beautiful you know, sun drenched skies, you know,

596
00:33:11.799 --> 00:33:17.079
<v Speaker 2>beautiful blue skies. What those numbers? How far above the

597
00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:19.759
<v Speaker 2>average are those two numbers, Say it's seventy tomorrow and

598
00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:20.960
<v Speaker 2>seventy five on Sunday.

599
00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:24.960
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, the average tomorrow and Sunday or sixty one degrees,

600
00:33:25.039 --> 00:33:28.000
<v Speaker 7>they're going to be a good ten to fifteen degrees

601
00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:30.279
<v Speaker 7>above that. In fact, Sunday we won't be all that

602
00:33:30.359 --> 00:33:33.160
<v Speaker 7>far from the record high, which is seventy nine set

603
00:33:33.160 --> 00:33:35.200
<v Speaker 7>back in nineteen sixty nine. The record high tomorrow is

604
00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:37.440
<v Speaker 7>eighty four, so it can still get warm this time year.

605
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:39.160
<v Speaker 7>A lot of the record highs are still in the eighties.

606
00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:43.680
<v Speaker 7>But this isn't just a one or two day thing.

607
00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:46.119
<v Speaker 7>We're going to see those highs in the seventies continue

608
00:33:46.519 --> 00:33:47.759
<v Speaker 7>likely into Monday as well.

609
00:33:48.279 --> 00:33:50.480
<v Speaker 2>Well. Of course Monday, most people are going back to work.

610
00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:53.079
<v Speaker 2>So that's why I like to focus on Saturday and Sunday. Now.

611
00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:56.839
<v Speaker 2>In addition to that, good news for people who are

612
00:33:56.880 --> 00:34:02.359
<v Speaker 2>not Patriots fans, because the Patriots play early on Sunday

613
00:34:02.400 --> 00:34:06.720
<v Speaker 2>morning in that game over in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars,

614
00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:11.920
<v Speaker 2>which means that the guys who are football fans and

615
00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:14.519
<v Speaker 2>want to stay ensconsed in front of that TV set

616
00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:17.199
<v Speaker 2>to watch the Patriots, that game will be over by

617
00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:21.599
<v Speaker 2>about twelve fifteen, twelve thirty. And at that point, guys,

618
00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:27.199
<v Speaker 2>I think that if the ladies in the family, the

619
00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:30.039
<v Speaker 2>kids in the family are looking to go apple picking

620
00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:33.440
<v Speaker 2>or taking a hike, you're not going to have a

621
00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Patriots game as that excused to stay indoors.

622
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:40.800
<v Speaker 7>No, and it is going to be warming up quickly.

623
00:34:40.840 --> 00:34:43.000
<v Speaker 7>I think by noontime could very well be in the

624
00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:46.880
<v Speaker 7>low seventies already. This is a pattern, especially with how

625
00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:49.440
<v Speaker 7>dry it's been the last few days, that the nights

626
00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:52.079
<v Speaker 7>will be relatively cool still and the knights will still

627
00:34:52.119 --> 00:34:55.639
<v Speaker 7>generally be in the forties to near fifty, but by

628
00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:58.480
<v Speaker 7>mid to late afternoon we're talking about highs at or

629
00:34:58.480 --> 00:34:59.960
<v Speaker 7>above seventy.

630
00:35:00.079 --> 00:35:03.440
<v Speaker 2>So then here's my question. I was told I read

631
00:35:03.480 --> 00:35:05.880
<v Speaker 2>an article actually this week that they said the leaf

632
00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:09.039
<v Speaker 2>peeping was insane last weekend. People were out there in

633
00:35:09.079 --> 00:35:11.159
<v Speaker 2>the woods. They had annoyed you. I'm sure you read

634
00:35:11.199 --> 00:35:15.280
<v Speaker 2>some of that, and I guess they had a significant

635
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:18.239
<v Speaker 2>not twenty inches but they had a real, actual first

636
00:35:18.360 --> 00:35:21.480
<v Speaker 2>snowfall up on the top of Mount Washington. You're a

637
00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:23.519
<v Speaker 2>weather guy. I'm sure you can give me more information

638
00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:27.119
<v Speaker 2>about that. How does that juxtapose with what we're doing

639
00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:31.320
<v Speaker 2>here this weekend? If last weekend the snowflakes were falling

640
00:35:31.360 --> 00:35:32.760
<v Speaker 2>on Mount Washington, what's going on?

641
00:35:32.800 --> 00:35:35.679
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, it's it's quite the change. And last weekend was

642
00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:39.119
<v Speaker 7>quite the range. All across the northeast. You get down

643
00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:42.400
<v Speaker 7>toward Philadelphia and Baltimore, it was pushing eighty degrees last weekend.

644
00:35:42.719 --> 00:35:44.920
<v Speaker 7>And here we were in the fifties, if you remember,

645
00:35:44.960 --> 00:35:46.920
<v Speaker 7>it was kind of cloudy. It was even in the

646
00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:49.559
<v Speaker 7>forties of times, with the kind of a damp feel

647
00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:52.079
<v Speaker 7>to the air. And as you got far enough north

648
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:55.639
<v Speaker 7>through the White Mountains over toward the Adirondacks, too, a

649
00:35:55.679 --> 00:35:59.159
<v Speaker 7>lot of places had accumulating snow. And I was reading

650
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:01.280
<v Speaker 7>the same things you were of people are unprepared for that.

651
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:05.800
<v Speaker 7>You know, it's it's been relatively mild of late, and

652
00:36:05.800 --> 00:36:08.519
<v Speaker 7>then you go up into the mountains and it's it

653
00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:10.679
<v Speaker 7>is mid October. These things can happen.

654
00:36:11.320 --> 00:36:14.760
<v Speaker 2>People. People were in flip flops and clocks and stuff

655
00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:16.599
<v Speaker 2>like that. The other thing real quickly. I got to

656
00:36:16.599 --> 00:36:18.840
<v Speaker 2>ask you, is for the first time, some of the

657
00:36:18.840 --> 00:36:21.480
<v Speaker 2>weather people this week had pointed out those I call

658
00:36:21.559 --> 00:36:25.000
<v Speaker 2>them like the blanket clouds. They almost look like whipped

659
00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:27.079
<v Speaker 2>cream clouds or something like that. I forget what the

660
00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:30.360
<v Speaker 2>name of them are, but apparently that's a rear sight.

661
00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:32.960
<v Speaker 2>And I actually saw some of those yesterday. What what's

662
00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:34.679
<v Speaker 2>what are those clouds? I hate to put you on

663
00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:35.519
<v Speaker 2>the spot here.

664
00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:37.960
<v Speaker 7>But I guess i'd have to see a picture of it.

665
00:36:37.960 --> 00:36:40.559
<v Speaker 7>I don't know offhand what you're what you're.

666
00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:45.840
<v Speaker 2>Okay, it almost looked like the clouds look like ocean waves.

667
00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:49.599
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, that they you know, normally you see you know,

668
00:36:49.639 --> 00:36:51.880
<v Speaker 2>the cumulus and the cirrus and all of that. But

669
00:36:51.920 --> 00:36:56.440
<v Speaker 2>there was this, uh, this cloud formation, which apparently the

670
00:36:56.480 --> 00:36:59.159
<v Speaker 2>atmosphere has to be just certain, and they were people

671
00:36:59.280 --> 00:37:02.800
<v Speaker 2>actually sending and pictures of it. Uh. And this morning

672
00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:05.119
<v Speaker 2>when I went out door as I saw that for

673
00:37:05.159 --> 00:37:08.519
<v Speaker 2>the first time. We'll save that for another night, Brian, Thanks,

674
00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:11.719
<v Speaker 2>thank you much. Man Hey enjoying the weekend. I hope

675

00:37:14.119 --> 00:37:17.400
<v Speaker 7>I'm on duty Sunday morning. But but like the Patriots fans.
