<v Speaker 2>Thanks very much, Nicole. Nice to be back. Had a

3
00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:13.279
<v Speaker 2>great Thanksgiving week, that is for sure on many fronts

4
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:15.960
<v Speaker 2>and in many respects that I wish all of you

5
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:20.879
<v Speaker 2>had a Thanksgiving week that was just a smashing success,

6
00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:25.399
<v Speaker 2>hopefully with family and friends and enjoyed the day of Thursday,

7
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:28.440
<v Speaker 2>but also enjoyed some time off from your work as

8
00:00:28.519 --> 00:00:31.199
<v Speaker 2>I did. I want to thank Gary Tangway and my

9
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:34.960
<v Speaker 2>great friend Morgan White who sat in last week for me.

10
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:38.159
<v Speaker 2>Gary was in Monday and Tuesday night. Morgan did the

11
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:42.119
<v Speaker 2>heavy duty of the week Wednesday, Thursday and Friday night,

12
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:46.320
<v Speaker 2>including Thanksgiving night. Morgan is always there, has my back,

13
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:48.600
<v Speaker 2>and I just want to thank him, particularly for the

14
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.640
<v Speaker 2>time that he spent last week sitting in for me

15
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:56.359
<v Speaker 2>again including Thanksgiving night, so he spent his night not

16
00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:00.359
<v Speaker 2>necessarily with his family and friends. He was behind the microphone. Morgan,

17

41
00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:24.520
<v Speaker 2>first we're going to talk to you about some good

42
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:27.560
<v Speaker 2>charitable activity you might want to involve yourself in in

43
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:31.039
<v Speaker 2>the next few weeks leading up to Christmas and Hanukah

44
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:33.680
<v Speaker 2>and Kwansa and all the various holidays that people celebrate.

45
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:39.000
<v Speaker 2>I want to welcome Rebecca Gavin. She is with Dana Farber. Rebecca,

46
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:40.520
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to night Side. How are you.

47
00:02:40.439 --> 00:02:43.199
<v Speaker 3>Tonight, I'm well, thanks so much for having me.

48
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, this is that time of year, obviously, when everybody

49
00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:50.800
<v Speaker 2>gets involved. You are Dana Farber's vice president of Annual,

50
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:56.360
<v Speaker 2>planned and institutional giving, and of course tomorrow is Giving Tuesday,

51
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:59.319
<v Speaker 2>a global day of giving back to worthy causes. I

52
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.080
<v Speaker 2>can't think of a more worthy cause than Dana Farber

53
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:05.840
<v Speaker 2>Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund. I guess that you're

54
00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:09.120
<v Speaker 2>hoping to raise tomorrow upwards of a million dollars, maybe

55
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:11.319
<v Speaker 2>even a little over a million dollars. Tell us about it.

56
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:16.000
<v Speaker 3>That's exactly right. Giving Tuesday is a really important day

57
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:20.039
<v Speaker 3>of giving for us and so many charities around the world. Really,

58
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:24.319
<v Speaker 3>it really is an opportunity during this busy holiday season

59
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:27.759
<v Speaker 3>when shopping gets underway, we know people are out caring

60
00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:31.000
<v Speaker 3>and thinking about their loved ones, and Giving Tuesday is

61
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:35.000
<v Speaker 3>an opportunity for charities like Dana Farber to share how

62
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:37.960
<v Speaker 3>we make a difference in the lives of others. So

63
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:41.039
<v Speaker 3>we really try to get the word out and reach

64
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:44.039
<v Speaker 3>out to our supporters to let them know that gifts

65
00:03:44.039 --> 00:03:47.639
<v Speaker 3>to Dana Farber are crucial in helping us fund the

66
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:52.879
<v Speaker 3>patient care programs that support the social, emotional, spiritual needs

67
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:56.280
<v Speaker 3>of our patients and families, and really importantly help us

68
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:59.680
<v Speaker 3>advance the research breakthroughs that we need to move the

69
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:02.360
<v Speaker 3>need and find new and improved therapy for all forms

70
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:05.400
<v Speaker 3>of cancer right here in Boston and really around the world.

71
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:08.759
<v Speaker 3>So it's an incredibly important day for us to launch

72
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:09.919
<v Speaker 3>this season of giving.

73
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know that Giving Tuesday is a relatively new event.

74
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:21.240
<v Speaker 2>I believe it sort of became kind of institutionalized formally,

75
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:25.399
<v Speaker 2>what about ten or so years ago across the country

76
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:25.959
<v Speaker 2>and over.

77
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:30.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, actually it started in twenty twelve and Dana Farber

78
00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:34.639
<v Speaker 3>has participated for the last ten years. But it really

79
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:37.079
<v Speaker 3>began as a national day of giving in twenty twelve

80
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:40.759
<v Speaker 3>to encourage people to do good and it really has that.

81
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:45.639
<v Speaker 2>Last year they had a great year nationally. Again, this

82
00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:48.879
<v Speaker 2>is not the amount of money that unfortunately Dana Farbara

83
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:51.680
<v Speaker 2>or the Jimmy fundraise, but nationally there was three point

84
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:54.399
<v Speaker 2>one billion dollars given last year, and I guess that

85
00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:59.399
<v Speaker 2>gets their total giving over the years on Giving Tuesday

86
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:04.519
<v Speaker 2>to about thirteen billion dollars in total. How has the

87
00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:09.720
<v Speaker 2>data Farber cracked the ten million dollar market at this point?

88
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:11.639
<v Speaker 2>You've been doing it for ten years and you're looking

89
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:16.079
<v Speaker 2>for a million dollars over time. How generous have people

90
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:18.079
<v Speaker 2>been to Dana Farber on Giving Tuesday?

91
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:21.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, people have been incredibly generous. And I will tell

92
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:25.879
<v Speaker 3>you it's actually grown continually year over year for us.

93
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:28.639
<v Speaker 3>And that's in the face of a pandemic. In the

94
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:32.399
<v Speaker 3>post pandemic years, you know, in spite of world events,

95
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:37.879
<v Speaker 3>global events, unstable economy, our giving has increased year over

96
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:42.040
<v Speaker 3>a year and it's really incredible. So we're expecting around

97
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:47.120
<v Speaker 3>five thousand gifts to be received tomorrow and it's really

98
00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:51.959
<v Speaker 3>an incredibly generous community of supporters that help us make

99
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:52.720
<v Speaker 3>that difference.

100
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:56.839
<v Speaker 2>So how does it work tomorrow? Is there a phone

101
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:01.199
<v Speaker 2>bank people can call in and pledge or is it

102
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:03.360
<v Speaker 2>is there a website they can go to and pledge?

103
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:07.040
<v Speaker 2>How does this going to work mechanically for people who

104
00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:09.879
<v Speaker 2>want to support Data Farber and the Jimmy Fund.

105
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:13.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so we try to make it easy. You can

00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:46.679
<v Speaker 2>certainly this time of year, very very important, and that's

154
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:49.519
<v Speaker 2>the Globe Santa in its sixty ninth year. We'll be

155
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:53.440
<v Speaker 2>talking with Linda Matchin, Boston Globe, correspondent, writer and editor

156
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:56.080
<v Speaker 2>for the Boston Globe. Right after this quick break on

157
00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:59.759
<v Speaker 2>a Monday night, as we gear back up again for

158
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:05.120
<v Speaker 2>several more weeks of nightside programming right up until December twentieth.

159
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

160
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:12.960
<v Speaker 1>night Side Studios. I'm WBZ News Radio.

161
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:17.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, welcome back, everybody, mign My name is Dan Ray.

162
00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:21.879
<v Speaker 2>I'm back here after a great Thanksgiving week off, and

163
00:09:21.960 --> 00:09:24.679
<v Speaker 2>of course we have now moved into December and Christmas

164
00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:28.320
<v Speaker 2>is just around the corner, and we are delighted to

165
00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:32.080
<v Speaker 2>welcome Linda Matchin from the Boston Globe. She's a correspondent,

166
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:35.519
<v Speaker 2>writer and editor for The Globe. Santa Is in his

167
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:39.279
<v Speaker 2>sixty ninth year. My time flies Linda, how are you tonight?

168
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:42.799
<v Speaker 4>It does I'm very well, thank you.

169
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:49.279
<v Speaker 2>So is this your project at the Globe? What is

170
00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:52.360
<v Speaker 2>your involvement? I know that you're a Globe correspondent, but

171
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.039
<v Speaker 2>are you the person who's writing all the stories about

172
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.399
<v Speaker 2>that we will see in the Globe in the upcoming weeks.

173
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:02.799
<v Speaker 4>Well, my backstory is that I was a Globe reporter

174
00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:08.159
<v Speaker 4>and editor for thirty eight years, and I tried to leave,

175
00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:13.960
<v Speaker 4>but I'm back. I was asked about four years ago

176
00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:17.120
<v Speaker 4>if I would oversee the big the editor of the

177
00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:23.200
<v Speaker 4>Globe Santa Project, which raises money for children in need,

178
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:27.960
<v Speaker 4>and the money goes towards getting them toys and books

179
00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:30.519
<v Speaker 4>and games for the holidays when their family can't afford it.

180
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:35.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Well again, sixty ninth years, so that is quite

181
00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:38.720
<v Speaker 2>a heritage. I'm trying to remember. There was a fellow

182
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:42.080
<v Speaker 2>who was associated with the Globe Santa for many, many years,

183
00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:45.080
<v Speaker 2>and I think he recently retired if I'm not mistaken,

184
00:10:45.120 --> 00:10:46.039
<v Speaker 2>correct me if I'm wrong.

185
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:56.720
<v Speaker 4>There there was Tom Cokeley. There was a Doug I'm

186
00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:58.879
<v Speaker 4>forgetting his name. Unfortunate Doug.

187
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:02.559
<v Speaker 2>To me, Well, that's okay. There were a number of

188
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:06.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, Globe folks over the years who have carried

189
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:09.120
<v Speaker 2>on this great tradition. That's what I'm trying to happen. Basically,

190
00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:12.879
<v Speaker 2>make the point that you've been doing it for several

191
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:17.519
<v Speaker 2>years and over that time, some three million million children

192
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:22.360
<v Speaker 2>in two hundred and one communities across the Commonwealth have

193
00:11:23.399 --> 00:11:26.120
<v Speaker 2>had their letters answered. Tell us how it works from

194
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:29.879
<v Speaker 2>the perspective of the kid who hears about the globe Santa,

195
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:32.200
<v Speaker 2>and then how does it all work? Explain to us,

196
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:33.559
<v Speaker 2>and then we're going to try to get some folks

197
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:34.840
<v Speaker 2>to help support you.

198
00:11:35.919 --> 00:11:41.360
<v Speaker 4>Thank you well. Generally, what happens is that the family

199
00:11:42.480 --> 00:11:46.320
<v Speaker 4>or the guardians are in one way or another connected

200
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:49.399
<v Speaker 4>to a social service agency, often under the Department of

201
00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:53.240
<v Speaker 4>Transitional Assistance, but sometimes it's a church or a synagogue

202
00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:57.039
<v Speaker 4>or another kind of organization that helps people who are

203
00:11:57.080 --> 00:12:04.639
<v Speaker 4>in need, and they will very by the families financial need.

204
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:09.759
<v Speaker 4>And once it's sort of official, they're given a form

205
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:12.399
<v Speaker 4>to fill out and mail it to us to globes

206
00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:14.360
<v Speaker 4>and it sort of starts. They start you off with

207
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:17.159
<v Speaker 4>your globes and you know, tell us your story, and

208
00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:21.039
<v Speaker 4>they tell us a bit about their family situation. But

209
00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:26.960
<v Speaker 4>they tell these really heartrending stories that are sometimes so

210
00:12:27.320 --> 00:12:31.440
<v Speaker 4>eloquent that there are times that it feels to me

211
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:35.240
<v Speaker 4>like they're almost like poetry. I mean, people talk about

212
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:38.679
<v Speaker 4>their heartships, but not only their heartships. They talk about

213
00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:41.799
<v Speaker 4>their faith. They talk about how kind people have been

214
00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:44.519
<v Speaker 4>to them, but they're struggling, and they talk about how

215
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:46.679
<v Speaker 4>they're trying to get out of this struggle. But there's

216
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:49.799
<v Speaker 4>so many reasons for why they're in the situation that

217
00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:55.480
<v Speaker 4>they are, and sometimes it's they've been in rough times

218
00:12:55.519 --> 00:13:00.240
<v Speaker 4>for a long time. Sometimes they have had difficulties because

219
00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:01.919
<v Speaker 4>of an illness in the family, or a death in

220
00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:05.759
<v Speaker 4>the family, or a bankruptcy or a lost job. During

221
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:08.080
<v Speaker 4>the period of COVID, there were lots of letters like that,

222
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:10.320
<v Speaker 4>saying that in one way or another, COVID effected them.

223
00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:14.639
<v Speaker 2>And so once you get the names of the children

224
00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:18.759
<v Speaker 2>through what they call now the Department and Transitional Assistance,

225
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:22.879
<v Speaker 2>and the children write a letter to the Globe of

226
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Santa they make a request for a toy or a

227
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:28.639
<v Speaker 2>specific type toy. I assume.

228
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:33.399
<v Speaker 4>The children occasionally write the letters. Generally it's the grown up,

229
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:36.879
<v Speaker 4>although I have seen some really lovely letters from children.

230
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:40.279
<v Speaker 4>I mean, sometimes the children are just infants, and we

231
00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:46.519
<v Speaker 4>have the toys are we kept seventeen thousand letters a year,

232
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:52.200
<v Speaker 4>and so we can't tailor each request to each kid.

233
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:58.399
<v Speaker 4>But through a lot of thinking and shopping and go

234
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:01.879
<v Speaker 4>attending toy fare and putting our heads together, we come

235
00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:04.399
<v Speaker 4>up with some toys that would be appropriate for every

236
00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:07.879
<v Speaker 4>age level and age and gender.

237
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:11.559
<v Speaker 2>I assume and all of that, and you correct, and

238
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:17.240
<v Speaker 2>it could be you know, if it's again a doll

239
00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:21.720
<v Speaker 2>or a dollhouse, or a game or a baseball glove

240
00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:24.639
<v Speaker 2>or whatever. Yeah, and so you've done this for this

241
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:29.799
<v Speaker 2>will be your sixty ninth year. How can nightside listeners

242
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:34.120
<v Speaker 2>they're not going out and buying toys and dropping them

243
00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:37.200
<v Speaker 2>off somewhere. I assume you hope that they'll support you

244
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:40.679
<v Speaker 2>financially so you can do this. Is that the way

245
00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:44.519
<v Speaker 2>it works most effectively, most efficiently. Yeah.

246
00:14:44.559 --> 00:14:48.759
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, Although there are people or organizations that collect warm

247
00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:56.240
<v Speaker 4>winterware for children and donate it, and those go into

248
00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:59.480
<v Speaker 4>the boxes with other with the toys and books and games.

249
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:03.679
<v Speaker 4>Going to globstandard dot com is the way that you'll

250
00:15:04.519 --> 00:15:08.080
<v Speaker 4>find how to donate through various items we own directly,

251
00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:12.120
<v Speaker 4>or by mailing a check or by phoning telephoning the

252
00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:12.919
<v Speaker 4>old fashioned way.

253
00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's okay. There's still people who use telephone, Jess.

254
00:15:16.360 --> 00:15:18.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm one of them. As a matter of fact, I

255
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:18.559
<v Speaker 2>need to.

256
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:19.519
<v Speaker 4>Be one of the two right now.

257
00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:23.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, right, that's that's wonderful. Now. I hear whenever

258
00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:26.320
<v Speaker 2>I hear someone say organization. Did you grow up in

259
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:28.360
<v Speaker 2>Canada or did you grow up in upstate New York?

260
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:29.840
<v Speaker 4>How did you know?

261
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:30.440
<v Speaker 1>What?

262
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:31.200
<v Speaker 4>Did I say?

263
00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:33.759
<v Speaker 2>Organiza? Organization?

264
00:15:34.159 --> 00:15:35.080
<v Speaker 5>What would you say?

265
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:36.080
<v Speaker 2>Organization?

266
00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.120
<v Speaker 4>That is very subtle out but nobody's ever pointed that

267
00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:43.919
<v Speaker 4>out to me before. I've been here for years.

268
00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Whatever. No, no, no, my friend Harry Sindon used to

269
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:49.080
<v Speaker 2>use the word organization. That's how I figured out it

270
00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:51.679
<v Speaker 2>was a Canadian, the former Bruins coach and general manager.

271
00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:55.720
<v Speaker 2>That's the way Canadians pronounce organization as opposed to organization.

272
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm only having fun with you. I hope you know that, Linda.

273
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:01.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm just drug well, I'm very impressed, feel.

274
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:04.480
<v Speaker 2>Done, try to try to make you comfortable here. So look,

275
00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:07.360
<v Speaker 2>this is a great cause. It's a very local cause.

276
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:10.360
<v Speaker 2>It's been going on now, a local cause that reaches

277
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:13.440
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and one communities. But uh, it's it's just

278
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:17.320
<v Speaker 2>a great cause sixty nine years and so, folks, if

279
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:22.120
<v Speaker 2>you have an opportunity Globe Santa dot com, you can

280
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:25.000
<v Speaker 2>get all the information you need about either making a

281
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:30.360
<v Speaker 2>donation or contributing gifts or you also said again, winter clothing,

282
00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:33.879
<v Speaker 2>and certainly with the temperatures of the last couple of days,

283
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:36.320
<v Speaker 2>all of us have started to rummage through our closets

284
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:39.039
<v Speaker 2>and try to find where all that winter clothing was

285
00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:43.080
<v Speaker 2>that we put away last spring. So you know it's

286
00:16:43.159 --> 00:16:45.919
<v Speaker 2>it's clothing in this neck of the woods as well

287
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:49.639
<v Speaker 2>as in Canada is an important aspect of the holiday

288
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:51.080
<v Speaker 2>season as well. That's correct.

289
00:16:51.120 --> 00:16:54.159
<v Speaker 4>But I made a mistake, Globe forgive me. If Globesanta

290
00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:57.519
<v Speaker 4>dot org or as dot d no problem.

291
00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:00.279
<v Speaker 2>See that's what's great about radio. We can make mistakes

292
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:04.160
<v Speaker 2>and we can we can correct them. Globe Santa dot org.

293
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:07.720
<v Speaker 2>I should have caught that anyway. But Globe Santa dot org,

294
00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:12.359
<v Speaker 2>uh and Linda, I wish you every success this year

295
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:17.079
<v Speaker 2>delivering toys and books and games to local kids, kids

296
00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:21.440
<v Speaker 2>who might not otherwise find something under the tree that

297
00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Santa left for them. And and as a result of

298
00:17:24.240 --> 00:17:26.960
<v Speaker 2>your great efforts, a lot of children will wake up

299
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:32.000
<v Speaker 2>with smiles on their faces on Christmas or or whatever

300
00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:35.559
<v Speaker 2>holiday the family may be celebrating. Linda, thanks so much.

301
00:17:36.079 --> 00:17:40.839

302

<v Speaker 4>But that's I learned my news. I gotta be careful now.

303
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:48.920
<v Speaker 2>It's charming. It's absolutely charming. Linda, thanks very much for

<v Speaker 2>Thanks so much. Imagine the Boston Globe, Globe Santa Dot. Okay,

308
00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:04.519
<v Speaker 2>we have one more Santa theme to talk about, and

309
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:07.559
<v Speaker 2>that is via Santa to a senior when we get

310
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:10.039
<v Speaker 2>back right after the news at the bottom of the hour.

311
00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:14.440
<v Speaker 2>You're listening to Nightside on WBZ ten thirty and your

312
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:17.480
<v Speaker 2>AM dial if you're sitting in a car somewhere buzzing

313
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:19.920
<v Speaker 2>along anywhere east of the Mississippi River and had picked

314
00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:22.160
<v Speaker 2>us up, or if you have us on the internet.

315
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:25.039
<v Speaker 2>This is WBC in Boston. We're ten thirty on the

316
00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:27.920
<v Speaker 2>AM dial, Boston's news radio. My name's Dan Ray, and

317
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:30.160
<v Speaker 2>this is Nightside and we'll be back right after this

318
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:32.920
<v Speaker 2>quick newscast on a couple of messages at the bottom

319
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:33.519
<v Speaker 2>of the Hour.

320
00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:40.079
<v Speaker 1>Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's news radio.

321
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:46.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, we talked a little earlier tonight about Giving Tuesday

322
00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:49.960
<v Speaker 2>and the day of the annual effort by Dana Farburn

323
00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:53.400
<v Speaker 2>the Jimmy Fund on to raise some money. We talked

324
00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:57.559
<v Speaker 2>last hour with the representative of the Globe Santa Lindam

325
00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:02.599
<v Speaker 2>matchin and now Christmas not only is good for children,

326
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:05.799
<v Speaker 2>but it's also good for everyone, and maybe you'd like

327
00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:09.680
<v Speaker 2>to be a Santa to a Senior program helper. We're

328
00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:13.519
<v Speaker 2>talking with Kathy Butler. She's director of client care at

329
00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:18.559
<v Speaker 2>Home Instead in Waltham, Massachusetts. First of all, Kathy, welcome

330
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:21.960
<v Speaker 2>to Nightside and tell us exactly what Home Instead is

331
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:24.160
<v Speaker 2>in Waltham, Massachusetts.

332
00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:26.319
<v Speaker 6>Thank you, Hi, Dan, how are you.

333
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:28.160
<v Speaker 2>We're doing great, Kath, Thanks very much.

334
00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:33.119
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, thanks for having me so be a Santer to

335
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:36.720
<v Speaker 6>a Senior. I guess it started like twenty one years

336
00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:41.200
<v Speaker 6>ago where Home Instead is an international company and we

337
00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:45.519
<v Speaker 6>have about seventeen franchises alone in Massachusetts. I'm actually in Lexington,

338
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:48.640
<v Speaker 6>but our owners own the Walfam office also.

339
00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so just like you.

340
00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:55.079
<v Speaker 6>Said, yeah, all the programs for.

341
00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:58.920
<v Speaker 4>Kids, but we deal with the seniors because.

342
00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:04.160
<v Speaker 6>Home instead provides care giver services to seniors in their home,

343
00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:08.039
<v Speaker 6>sometimes in assistant livings and just like the title says,

344
00:20:08.559 --> 00:20:11.079
<v Speaker 6>you could stay home instead and be safer and who

345
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:15.240
<v Speaker 6>can help families versus being in nursing home or sometimes

346
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:19.680
<v Speaker 6>assisted living And so a lot of times some of

347
00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:25.359
<v Speaker 6>our referrals have no seniors in our areas who are

348
00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:29.920
<v Speaker 6>isolated or don't have family nearby, or maybe not financially able.

349
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:34.799
<v Speaker 6>So this program is great because we work with nonprofits

350
00:20:34.880 --> 00:20:40.200
<v Speaker 6>and gyms and stores and set up trees and their

351
00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:44.599
<v Speaker 6>customers or their clients take bulbs that the seniors' names

352
00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:48.640
<v Speaker 6>are on with something they wish for, and then we

353
00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:52.960
<v Speaker 6>collect the gifts and we actually go to nursing homes

354
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:55.880
<v Speaker 6>and assistant livings and wrap the gifts with other seniors

355
00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:00.920
<v Speaker 6>and then deliver them to the appropriate Sometimes some of

356
00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:06.359
<v Speaker 6>the seniors the names come from council and agings or

357
00:21:06.440 --> 00:21:09.000
<v Speaker 6>nursing homes, some assisted livings as well.

358
00:21:09.920 --> 00:21:14.720
<v Speaker 2>So so the procedure is that your clients are our

359
00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:19.279
<v Speaker 2>people who you serve throughout the year which allow them

360
00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:22.920
<v Speaker 2>to live independently, maybe in their own home or maybe

361
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:28.079
<v Speaker 2>in an assisted living facility. But some of them, uh

362
00:21:28.519 --> 00:21:31.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe don't have a lot of family in the area,

363
00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:35.720
<v Speaker 2>and for them, Christmas or for that matter, I guess

364
00:21:35.720 --> 00:21:42.160
<v Speaker 2>Honaker or whatever other homely they celebrate might might not

365
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:45.519
<v Speaker 2>be what it is for many people, and maybe they

366
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:48.440
<v Speaker 2>don't have they're not surrounded by family and friends. Those

367
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:50.799
<v Speaker 2>are the folks who I assume you're focusing.

368
00:21:50.319 --> 00:21:53.319
<v Speaker 4>On correct exactly, yes, and.

369
00:21:54.799 --> 00:22:00.680
<v Speaker 6>Oftentimes, like for for Lexington, we have trees where we

370
00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:04.400
<v Speaker 6>put the bulbs and people take it at Winchester Savings

371
00:22:04.400 --> 00:22:07.359
<v Speaker 6>Bang People Fit, which is a senior gym in Wooburn

372
00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:11.400
<v Speaker 6>Uville Place and it's an assisted living in Lexington, and

373
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:15.559
<v Speaker 6>then Rockland Trust and Waltham and Waltham at the Athletic clubs.

374
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:17.799
<v Speaker 6>So the trees are set up there and we we

375
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:20.000
<v Speaker 6>decorate them. We put them up and then we put

376
00:22:20.039 --> 00:22:25.079
<v Speaker 6>these paper bulbs on them that have the seniors' names,

377
00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:26.960
<v Speaker 6>just their first names and last name, and like if

378
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:29.839
<v Speaker 6>they want a sweater or if they want slippers or

379
00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:34.519
<v Speaker 6>they some some of the masks for radios and CD players.

380
00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:36.039
<v Speaker 6>I'm not sure if those are still out there.

381
00:22:36.200 --> 00:22:39.519
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so well, yeah, their radios still work, trust me, am.

382
00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Radios and all that I don't know about. But radios work.

383
00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:45.680
<v Speaker 2>We're talking on a lot of radios right now. Will

384
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:49.400
<v Speaker 2>you realize that they're not Kathy so uh so these

385
00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:55.079
<v Speaker 2>so individuals who are interested. I hope you have a

386
00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:58.480
<v Speaker 2>website where folks they have to physically go to one

387
00:22:58.519 --> 00:23:03.920
<v Speaker 2>of these locations to get a name, uh and the

388
00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:05.039
<v Speaker 2>the requested gift.

389
00:23:05.319 --> 00:23:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Correct, Yes, yes, they so.

390
00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:10.519
<v Speaker 2>I just want to walk them through it. If someone's

391
00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:14.680
<v Speaker 2>interested here, what is the website is? You know you

392
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:17.279
<v Speaker 2>can you can run the names of those locations again,

393
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:19.359
<v Speaker 2>but no one's going to write them down. I'd rather

394
00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:22.240
<v Speaker 2>just have you give me a website. I assume those locations,

395
00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:26.519
<v Speaker 2>the different banks and and gyms, et cetera, where these

396
00:23:26.519 --> 00:23:30.799
<v Speaker 2>trees are uh in the in the Metro West area. Uh,

397
00:23:31.759 --> 00:23:33.599
<v Speaker 2>they must be listed, I assume on your.

398
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:38.440
<v Speaker 6>Website right, Yes, And and you can go to home

399
00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:41.720
<v Speaker 6>instead dot com and you can plug in the Lexington office,

400
00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:46.000
<v Speaker 6>or you could do Lexington home instead dot com Mass,

401
00:23:46.079 --> 00:23:48.759
<v Speaker 6>or you could do wallfam and you could see on

402
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:53.799
<v Speaker 6>there there's a section via Santa Bostaus that that says

403
00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:58.200
<v Speaker 6>where the trees are set up. And also it's for

404
00:23:58.480 --> 00:24:00.400
<v Speaker 6>it's for people. We work with a lot of counsel

405
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:05.279
<v Speaker 6>and agents that identify scews to us too, and oftentimes

406
00:24:05.440 --> 00:24:07.680
<v Speaker 6>they reach out and look at the website and get

407
00:24:07.720 --> 00:24:09.599
<v Speaker 6>in touch with us if they want SoRs to get

408
00:24:09.640 --> 00:24:10.359
<v Speaker 6>gifts as well.

409
00:24:10.599 --> 00:24:17.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so the again, I'm just trying to I'm very

410
00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:22.480
<v Speaker 2>very concrete. Okay, I'm not I'm not good at abstractions. So,

411
00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:28.839
<v Speaker 2>people who want to participate and and help uplift someone's

412
00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:34.400
<v Speaker 2>holiday season, do you list on the website, you know,

413
00:24:34.519 --> 00:24:37.759
<v Speaker 2>the names of the individual. You know, Mary wants a

414
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:40.599
<v Speaker 2>pair of slippers, or you know, Joe is looking for

415
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:44.720
<v Speaker 2>a new pickleball paddle or something, or do you Yeah,

416
00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:47.119
<v Speaker 2>they physically have to go to one of these locations

417
00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:49.440
<v Speaker 2>and to be able to look at the tree, I assume,

418
00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:52.279
<v Speaker 2>and then pick the name of the person and the

419
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:54.519
<v Speaker 2>gift that they would could most easily get. Is that

420
00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:56.440
<v Speaker 2>the way it works.

421
00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:01.200
<v Speaker 6>Exactly the latter. So, yeah, we don't have all the

422
00:25:01.279 --> 00:25:05.799
<v Speaker 6>names listed on our websites, but it tells them, It

423
00:25:05.839 --> 00:25:09.039
<v Speaker 6>tells anybody that looks at the website how the program works.

424
00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:12.720
<v Speaker 6>And sometimes if the trees aren't listed, it's got our

425
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:16.319
<v Speaker 6>phone number and they could call us as well. And

426
00:25:16.400 --> 00:25:19.759
<v Speaker 6>a lot of times that triggers you know, people wanting

427
00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:23.119
<v Speaker 6>to know more about our services home instead and you

428
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:25.359
<v Speaker 6>know how we can help them. We actually get a

429
00:25:25.359 --> 00:25:29.319
<v Speaker 6>lot of calls during the holidays when people are together

430
00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:32.599
<v Speaker 6>and realizing that their mom or dad or their loved

431
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:35.200
<v Speaker 6>one is not doing as well as they thought they were,

432
00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:37.880
<v Speaker 6>you know, at home, and that's what they want to

433
00:25:37.960 --> 00:25:41.200
<v Speaker 6>stay at home and as well as we support the

434
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:41.920
<v Speaker 6>families too.

435
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:46.400
<v Speaker 2>But just coming back to this program. So the individual

436
00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:51.720
<v Speaker 2>who's interested in bringing some joy and happiness to a

437
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:53.720
<v Speaker 2>senior citizen, we're all going to be there at some

438
00:25:53.880 --> 00:25:58.599
<v Speaker 2>time if we live long enough. They get the name

439
00:25:58.960 --> 00:26:01.720
<v Speaker 2>and they know what the gift is. So they go

440
00:26:01.799 --> 00:26:03.880
<v Speaker 2>out and they buy the gift. Let's say, if they

441
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:06.039
<v Speaker 2>look and someone's looking for pir of slippers or a

442
00:26:06.079 --> 00:26:10.559
<v Speaker 2>bathroom or whatever, and then they do they wrap it

443
00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:14.839
<v Speaker 2>and bring it back to the to the home instead office.

444
00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:18.079
<v Speaker 2>What after they buy the gift, what's their responsibility?

445
00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:22.119
<v Speaker 6>So they take the ball, they buy the gift, like

446
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:26.039
<v Speaker 6>let's say that it's for Mary, a senior, and so

447
00:26:26.359 --> 00:26:29.920
<v Speaker 6>she wants a woman's size small sweater. So they'll go

448
00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:31.799
<v Speaker 6>buy the gift and they don't wrap it.

449
00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:33.480
<v Speaker 5>They just put the ball.

450
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:35.759
<v Speaker 6>They take the bulb of the paper ball back on

451
00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:38.039
<v Speaker 6>the gift and they bring it back to wherever whatever

452
00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:41.599
<v Speaker 6>tree they got like Winchester Savings Bank or oh okay,

453
00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:45.640
<v Speaker 6>there's a box there, or they put it under the tree.

454
00:26:45.960 --> 00:26:46.079
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

455
00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:49.559
<v Speaker 6>And then we collect them and we're the ones are

456
00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:52.359
<v Speaker 6>the office or volunteers or like I said, I do

457
00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:56.359
<v Speaker 6>wrapping parties at local assistant livings, and we wrap the gift,

458
00:26:56.440 --> 00:26:58.759
<v Speaker 6>put the ball back on and deliver it back to

459
00:26:59.079 --> 00:27:01.599
<v Speaker 6>wherever that came from, like a council and aging at

460
00:27:01.640 --> 00:27:03.000
<v Speaker 6>that's where the senior name came from.

461
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:05.559
<v Speaker 2>Okay. So so basically there's a lot of the work

462
00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:08.359
<v Speaker 2>involved in terms of the wrapping the gift and delivering

463
00:27:08.400 --> 00:27:13.079
<v Speaker 2>the gift. The person never sees, never meets the senior

464
00:27:13.160 --> 00:27:15.640
<v Speaker 2>for whom they purchased the gift, but they know in

465
00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:19.359
<v Speaker 2>their heart that on that morning of Christmas or Hanka

466
00:27:19.759 --> 00:27:22.119
<v Speaker 2>or Kwanza or whatever it is, uh, there will be

467
00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:27.480
<v Speaker 2>a gift delivered uh to that senior uh and and

468
00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:29.440
<v Speaker 2>and it'll warm their heart a little bit. So that's

469
00:27:29.440 --> 00:27:32.119
<v Speaker 2>a great program. That's a great program. Yeah, I'm sorry

470
00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:35.119
<v Speaker 2>if I if I struggled with the details, but I

471
00:27:35.279 --> 00:27:37.960
<v Speaker 2>like to make sure people understand what's involved. So it's

472
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:40.920
<v Speaker 2>pretty simple. You just go to one of the locations

473
00:27:40.960 --> 00:27:43.880
<v Speaker 2>that are listed at I assume your website is home

474
00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:48.480
<v Speaker 2>instead dot com. Is that correct? Yes, just a wild

475
00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:50.599
<v Speaker 2>guest there, Cally. I want you to know a good thing.

476
00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:54.000
<v Speaker 2>I got it right. And and then so they go

477
00:27:54.079 --> 00:27:57.079
<v Speaker 2>to a location that they're familiar with, they they they

478
00:27:57.160 --> 00:27:59.519
<v Speaker 2>identify the gift they want to buy for the senior,

479
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:02.359
<v Speaker 2>they buy it, they bring it back to that same location.

480
00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:05.920
<v Speaker 2>So it's it's it's it's pretty easy for anyone who

481
00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:10.359
<v Speaker 2>wants to make this Christmas a little more special, this

482
00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:13.759
<v Speaker 2>holiday season, a little more special for someone who may

483
00:28:13.799 --> 00:28:18.079
<v Speaker 2>not have the family support that a lot of people have. So, Kathy,

484
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:20.960
<v Speaker 2>thanks very much for explaining it. I know I probably

485
00:28:20.960 --> 00:28:23.680
<v Speaker 2>asked more questions than I have a right to, but

486
00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:26.160
<v Speaker 2>I want to make sure my audience understands what they

487
00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:29.079
<v Speaker 2>can do and how much how simple some of these

488
00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:30.279
<v Speaker 2>these efforts can be.

489
00:28:31.359 --> 00:28:34.279
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, no, absolutely, I appreciate that. And we get a

490
00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:36.799
<v Speaker 6>lot of thank you from the seniors that receive the gifts,

491
00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:40.440
<v Speaker 6>and we usually bring them to the places that host

492
00:28:40.480 --> 00:28:43.599
<v Speaker 6>of the trees. So it is a really nice, good

493
00:28:43.640 --> 00:28:46.720
<v Speaker 6>feel kind of situation.

494
00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:47.680

<v Speaker 2>Thanks so much, Kathy. We appreciate your time tonight.

502
00:29:09.960 --> 00:29:11.720
<v Speaker 6>Okay, thanks Dan, Merry Christmas.

00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:14.359
<v Speaker 2>Merry Christmas to you as well. Thank you. When we

504
00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:17.359
<v Speaker 2>get back, when we talk about Billy Bush. No, not

505
00:29:17.440 --> 00:29:21.599
<v Speaker 2>that Billy Bush from the tape with Donald Trump. Billy Bush,

506
00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:27.200
<v Speaker 2>who's member of the Bush dynasty, founder of the of

507
00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:30.960
<v Speaker 2>the Bush Family Brewing and Distilling Company. He's an heir

508
00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:34.200
<v Speaker 2>to the iconic Anheuser Bush legacy and an author. And

509
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:37.319
<v Speaker 2>I think he's gonna have some very interesting things to

510
00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:40.920
<v Speaker 2>say about the family of which he's still a member

511
00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:43.680
<v Speaker 2>as far as I understand it. We'll talk with Billy

512
00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Bush right after the break here on night Side.

513
00:29:46.839 --> 00:29:49.839
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan ray Line from the Window World

514
00:29:49.960 --> 00:29:53.079
<v Speaker 1>Nightside Studios on w b Z, the news Radio.

515
00:29:54.480 --> 00:30:00.359
<v Speaker 2>Delighted to welcome to the program. Billy Bush, as I

516
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:03.559
<v Speaker 2>mentioned earlier, not the Billy Bush on the bus with

517
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:08.519
<v Speaker 2>Donald Trump. A different Billy Bush. Billy Bush Bush has

518
00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:11.720
<v Speaker 2>written a book called Family Reigns, the extraordinary rise and

519
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:15.599
<v Speaker 2>epic Fall of an American dynasty, and we're talking Bush beer.

520
00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:17.559
<v Speaker 2>Billy Bush, Welcome to Nightside. How are you.

521
00:30:18.559 --> 00:30:20.359
<v Speaker 5>I'm doing great. Thank you for having me on.

522
00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:23.480
<v Speaker 2>You're very welcome. This is the story of that iconic

523
00:30:23.759 --> 00:30:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Anheuser Busch dynasty, written for the first time by a

524
00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:33.279
<v Speaker 2>Bush Air. This is not a complimentary book about your family,

525
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:35.160
<v Speaker 2>it would appear tell us about it.

526
00:30:36.240 --> 00:30:38.960
<v Speaker 5>Well, I wouldn't say it's not a complimentary book. I'm

527
00:30:39.079 --> 00:30:41.640
<v Speaker 5>very proud of my family and for what the family

528
00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:47.079
<v Speaker 5>has accomplished over many generations, keeping a company, a business

529
00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:53.799
<v Speaker 5>in the family for five generations, six Bush leaders, and become,

530
00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:57.960
<v Speaker 5>you know, revolutionizing the beer industry the way Anheuser Bush did.

531
00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:01.519
<v Speaker 5>I think it's a great accomplish and I think I'm

532
00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:04.559
<v Speaker 5>very proud of that, and and I'm proud of the

533
00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:10.240
<v Speaker 5>fact that my family, we're all wonderful American patriots, hard workers.

534
00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:13.319
<v Speaker 5>They believed in this country. They believe that hard work

535
00:31:13.400 --> 00:31:17.200
<v Speaker 5>and determination and innovation would get them somewhere. And that's

536
00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:21.279
<v Speaker 5>why my great grandfather immigrated from Germany in the first place.

537
00:31:21.680 --> 00:31:24.759
<v Speaker 5>To live the American dream. And you know, and that's

538
00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:27.920
<v Speaker 5>what we received, and the whole family is much better

539
00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:30.960
<v Speaker 5>off for it. And you know, financially, there's no doubt

540
00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:34.839
<v Speaker 5>about it. Now, is it all a storybook growing up

541
00:31:34.880 --> 00:31:37.519
<v Speaker 5>in a family like us, No, it's not. And it

542
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:40.079
<v Speaker 5>could be. It could be difficult, It can be challenging.

543
00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:47.839
<v Speaker 5>Sometimes business and family were indistinguishable. So it was almost

544
00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:50.200
<v Speaker 5>like when I was raised that I was raised by

545
00:31:50.559 --> 00:31:54.680
<v Speaker 5>a I was an employee, if you will, and and

546
00:31:54.720 --> 00:31:56.480
<v Speaker 5>that's just the way it was. But that was part

547
00:31:56.519 --> 00:31:59.680
<v Speaker 5>of growing up in the family. And I don't regret it.

548
00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:03.440
<v Speaker 5>I don't treat my kids of Christy and I my

549
00:32:03.480 --> 00:32:05.200
<v Speaker 5>wife and I have seven kids.

550
00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:09.400
<v Speaker 2>And we raised you got a big, big family, a

551
00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:10.480
<v Speaker 2>big brood billy.

552
00:32:11.359 --> 00:32:13.680
<v Speaker 5>We sure do, we sure do. And uh, you know,

553
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:15.720
<v Speaker 5>my mom and dad had seven kids. I don't know.

554
00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:19.920
<v Speaker 5>Seven is heaven, I guess. But yeah, now we have

555
00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:24.079
<v Speaker 5>seven kids and it's pretty amazing. And I actually have

556
00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:28.000
<v Speaker 5>the two grandkids with us right now. My kids, my

557
00:32:28.240 --> 00:32:31.119
<v Speaker 5>son and his wife from California, they're living out there

558
00:32:31.119 --> 00:32:34.880
<v Speaker 5>in California now and they're here. So, you know, big

559
00:32:34.920 --> 00:32:37.680
<v Speaker 5>families are amazing, and you know, the thing is growing

560
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:41.960
<v Speaker 5>up the way I did. Uh, it was the family

561
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:44.000
<v Speaker 5>and the business for pretty much the same thing. We

562
00:32:44.039 --> 00:32:48.200
<v Speaker 5>represented Annazer Bush, We worked, our home was opened up

563
00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:52.279
<v Speaker 5>to the public, uh, to market the products at Annazer

564
00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:57.559
<v Speaker 5>Busch Bludweiser, namely. And that's just you know, the way

565
00:32:57.599 --> 00:32:58.079
<v Speaker 5>life was.

566
00:32:58.119 --> 00:33:00.880
<v Speaker 2>And so let me bill me, let me jump in

567
00:33:00.880 --> 00:33:03.519
<v Speaker 2>for a couple of questions. This I find this fascinating.

568
00:33:03.559 --> 00:33:09.240
<v Speaker 2>So you know Budwiser beer Anheiser Busch, which everybody knows.

569
00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:12.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the Saint Louis Cardinals used to be owned

570
00:33:12.960 --> 00:33:16.799
<v Speaker 2>by Anheuser Bush. If I'm not mistaken, it was Bush

571
00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Stadium for a long time. I mean, so you you

572
00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:24.119
<v Speaker 2>you always been the beer has always been identified with baseball, correct.

573
00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:28.400
<v Speaker 5>Well, that's that's correct. My dad bought the Saint Louis

574
00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:31.559
<v Speaker 5>Cardinals back in nineteen fifty three, and that's what gave

575
00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:34.160
<v Speaker 5>me the inspiration to open up our home, Grants Farm,

576
00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:38.359
<v Speaker 5>to the public because he invited the baseball Cardinal team

577
00:33:38.400 --> 00:33:42.039
<v Speaker 5>out to Grant's farm. And one of the wives actually

578
00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:44.640
<v Speaker 5>was Red Shandy. He's a great second baseman who played

579
00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:45.880
<v Speaker 5>for the Cardinals.

580
00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:48.279
<v Speaker 2>And became became the manager of the Cardinals as well,

581
00:33:48.279 --> 00:33:49.519
<v Speaker 2>if I'm not mistaken.

582
00:33:49.160 --> 00:33:51.839
<v Speaker 5>That's correct. And he was the he was His wife

583
00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:53.960
<v Speaker 5>was the inspiration to open up a grands farm for

584
00:33:54.039 --> 00:33:57.680
<v Speaker 5>my dad. She said, you should open this place up

585
00:33:58.279 --> 00:34:01.000
<v Speaker 5>to the public, and you know that gave him the

586
00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:02.440
<v Speaker 5>idea and he opened it up.

587
00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:05.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you got you. You guys had you broke broke

588
00:34:05.279 --> 00:34:08.679
<v Speaker 2>the Red Sox Hearts in nineteen sixty seven, you know,

589
00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Bob Gibson and uh uh and Roger Marrish you know,

590
00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:17.360
<v Speaker 2>was in right field after a great career in the

591
00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:20.599
<v Speaker 2>American League with the Cardinals, and you had you had

592
00:34:20.920 --> 00:34:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Ken Boyer at third base. Those are the teams that

593
00:34:23.880 --> 00:34:26.079
<v Speaker 2>I grew up with. And of course before that stand

594
00:34:26.199 --> 00:34:29.960
<v Speaker 2>usual and I mean that's that's that's a big part

595
00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:35.519
<v Speaker 2>of the legacy of the Bush family. Now, Budweiser is

596
00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:38.199
<v Speaker 2>no longer owned by the family. I believe it's now

597
00:34:38.239 --> 00:34:39.400
<v Speaker 2>a Belgian company.

598
00:34:39.440 --> 00:34:44.760
<v Speaker 5>Correct, that's correct. It's a Belgian run by Brazilians and

599
00:34:44.800 --> 00:34:49.480
<v Speaker 5>it's called in BEV. Well, it's annaser Busch in BEV actually,

600
00:34:49.519 --> 00:34:52.280
<v Speaker 5>so they bought the company back in two thousand and eight.

601
00:34:52.800 --> 00:34:58.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, uh, and I wish the Bush family still owned it,

602
00:34:58.239 --> 00:35:02.079
<v Speaker 2>to be really honest with you. I mean, you know,

603
00:35:02.440 --> 00:35:05.480
<v Speaker 2>I have contributed more than a few beers to the

604
00:35:06.000 --> 00:35:09.159
<v Speaker 2>legacy of the family over the years as well as

605
00:35:09.440 --> 00:35:15.719
<v Speaker 2>you know, following baseball pretty closely. Is everybody okay in

606
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:17.679
<v Speaker 2>the family at this point? Whenever you have a big,

607
00:35:17.719 --> 00:35:21.800
<v Speaker 2>successful family, this oftentimes, as we've found with you know,

608
00:35:22.079 --> 00:35:25.480
<v Speaker 2>presidential families to think of, you know, the Carters or

609
00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:28.840
<v Speaker 2>the Reagans have had, you know, children who kind of

610
00:35:28.840 --> 00:35:31.239
<v Speaker 2>go off and do their own thing. Has the family

611
00:35:31.280 --> 00:35:36.360
<v Speaker 2>stayed pretty much together? You know, everybody thinks, well, you're rich,

612
00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:41.800
<v Speaker 2>so everything's fine, But that doesn't necessarily always work that way,

613
00:35:41.880 --> 00:35:42.800
<v Speaker 2>if you know what I'm saying.

614
00:35:43.679 --> 00:35:46.280
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, no, it doesn't always work that way. And unfortunately

615
00:35:46.599 --> 00:35:49.360
<v Speaker 5>we haven't. A lot of us haven't stayed very close.

616
00:35:49.719 --> 00:35:51.960
<v Speaker 5>We had kind of falling out over our home that

617
00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:54.519
<v Speaker 5>we grew up on Grant's Farm, which my great which

618
00:35:54.559 --> 00:35:57.800
<v Speaker 5>my grandfather bought back at the turn of the twentieth century,

619
00:35:57.800 --> 00:35:59.679
<v Speaker 5>and he bought it because you listen to us, Grant

620
00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:04.800
<v Speaker 5>built house right there on Grant's farm, which still stands today. Again,

621
00:36:04.840 --> 00:36:06.920
<v Speaker 5>it's the place that my father opened to the public.

622
00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:09.440
<v Speaker 5>And we had a big kind of falling out over

623
00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:12.400
<v Speaker 5>Grant's farm and where it was going to go, how

624
00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:15.199
<v Speaker 5>it was going to end up, and so, you know,

625
00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:20.480
<v Speaker 5>we're all kind of separated at this point. We don't

626
00:36:20.599 --> 00:36:22.840
<v Speaker 5>a lot of us don't talk to each other, but

627
00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:26.840
<v Speaker 5>you know, I will say, and I'm very thankful. Everybody

628
00:36:26.840 --> 00:36:30.559
<v Speaker 5>seems healthy, everybody's happy, everybody has families, and so everybody's

629
00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:31.400
<v Speaker 5>doing their own thing.

630
00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:33.880
<v Speaker 6>Do we do this the beer business?

631
00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:37.519
<v Speaker 5>I'm actually I am actually continuing the beer business, the

632
00:36:37.559 --> 00:36:40.599
<v Speaker 5>beer tradition with my family. We have a small craft

633
00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:45.280
<v Speaker 5>brewery out on our farm in Saint Charles, Missouri, where

634
00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:47.599
<v Speaker 5>people come out and they enjoy the farm and the

635
00:36:47.639 --> 00:36:50.559
<v Speaker 5>beauty around the farm and animals there, and they drink

636
00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:52.719
<v Speaker 5>the beer that we make right there on the farm.

637
00:36:53.039 --> 00:36:56.239
<v Speaker 5>We also are putting into distillery. We have our own

638
00:36:56.280 --> 00:36:59.440
<v Speaker 5>whiskey out there, and you know, great, what's the.

639
00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Name of the what's the name of the craft beer?

640
00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:04.800
<v Speaker 2>We may have some beer aficionados.

641
00:37:04.199 --> 00:37:07.639
<v Speaker 5>Darn right, well, the it's it's called Bush Family Brewing

642
00:37:07.679 --> 00:37:10.760
<v Speaker 5>into silling. And the beer we make, we make the

643
00:37:10.800 --> 00:37:14.679
<v Speaker 5>Adolphice Pilsner, which is a wonderful German pills Ar pilsner.

644
00:37:15.199 --> 00:37:20.400
<v Speaker 5>We make the the Gussy Bavarian locker, which is the Hell.

645
00:37:20.239 --> 00:37:23.280
<v Speaker 2>Of Fear all family names. I love that.

646
00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:26.639
<v Speaker 5>That's correct, that's correct. But really the only place right

647
00:37:26.679 --> 00:37:28.440
<v Speaker 5>now you can get it is right there from the

648
00:37:28.719 --> 00:37:31.519
<v Speaker 5>from the farm itself. We're thinking about this, going back

649
00:37:31.559 --> 00:37:34.159
<v Speaker 5>to distribution. We also make a great beer that we

650
00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:37.480
<v Speaker 5>did have in distribution for a long time, never out

651
00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:43.159
<v Speaker 5>in Boston, but in in Missouri, Texas, Illinois, Kansas, and Wisconsin.

652
00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:46.800
<v Speaker 2>We have a lot of beer in New England. So

653
00:37:47.159 --> 00:37:50.000
<v Speaker 2>don't don't forget us, Bill, if you if you spread
