WEBVTT

1
00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:06.280
<v Speaker 1>It's night Side with Dan Ray on Delbsy Boston's new video.

2
00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:11.080
<v Speaker 2>Thank you Nicole. You can never underestimate the Calgary Zamboni's.

3
00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:13.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean they put on quite a show. Let me

4
00:00:13.679 --> 00:00:15.960
<v Speaker 2>tell you. Oh they're the machines. Oh I see to

5
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:18.839
<v Speaker 2>make the ice okay, fair enough. My name's Dan Ray.

6
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:21.640
<v Speaker 2>This is a night side and I start off with

7
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:24.480
<v Speaker 2>a joke just to kind of break the tension a

8
00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:27.079
<v Speaker 2>little bit. It was a very difficult day here in

9
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:29.679
<v Speaker 2>New England, very difficult day in the United States of America,

10
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:33.280
<v Speaker 2>and we will be talking about the deadly DC or

11
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:36.600
<v Speaker 2>plane crash, which is very hit close to home here

12
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:41.600
<v Speaker 2>very much. We lost members of the skating Club of Boston.

13
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:45.679
<v Speaker 2>And we'll get to that at nine o'clock and give

14
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:50.000
<v Speaker 2>you an opportunity to to just talk, because that's all

15
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.119
<v Speaker 2>we can do tonight is talk and remember the lives lost.

16
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:56.880
<v Speaker 2>Such a sad night again at this time last night,

17
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.119
<v Speaker 2>it's really frightening to think that those folks were on

18
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:04.560
<v Speaker 2>a plane speeding towards Washington, DC, and obviously the folks

19
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:07.519
<v Speaker 2>from Boston were going to be catching some sort of

20
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:11.599
<v Speaker 2>I assume flight back here. If not last night, probably

21
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:13.760
<v Speaker 2>sometime today and at this point they should be back

22
00:01:13.760 --> 00:01:16.280
<v Speaker 2>in their homes in the Greater Boston area, but that

23
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:19.920
<v Speaker 2>was not to be, sadly, and we will get to

24
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:22.040
<v Speaker 2>that at nine o'clock. We'll also talk about whether or

25
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:27.280
<v Speaker 2>not social media for you has become more than an

26
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.959
<v Speaker 2>opportunity to sort of check out the Internet. It's become

27
00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:33.200
<v Speaker 2>perhaps a little bit more than that, maybe even a

28
00:01:33.239 --> 00:01:36.239
<v Speaker 2>little addictive. We'll be talking with a very interesting guest,

29
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:40.000
<v Speaker 2>doctor Don Grant, about this very issue. He is a

30
00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:45.040
<v Speaker 2>media psycho coologist and a doctoral addictions counselor and educator,

31
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:51.040
<v Speaker 2>but specific expertise and technology impact on mental health. First, however,

32
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:55.680
<v Speaker 2>we have our nightside news update, the Roundup, as I

33
00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:58.439
<v Speaker 2>like to call it sometimes. We have four topics coming up,

34
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:00.200
<v Speaker 2>and we're going to start off and we are going

35
00:01:59.959 --> 00:02:03.840
<v Speaker 2>to talk about automobiles. I think everyone likes to talk

36
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:08.960
<v Speaker 2>about automobiles. John Vincent is the senior automotive correspondent. I

37
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:11.439
<v Speaker 2>believe John, you with the US News and World Report,

38
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Is that correct? I am, Well, you have done a

39
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:18.560
<v Speaker 2>lot of work to find out the best cars for

40
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:23.159
<v Speaker 2>the money awards of twenty twenty five, and there's a

41
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:28.240
<v Speaker 2>whole lot of categories here that you have been working on.

42
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:34.840
<v Speaker 2>You have different cars dealing with just overall cars. Then

43
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:38.800
<v Speaker 2>you have SUVs and minivans and other categories up to it,

44
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:42.439
<v Speaker 2>including trucks, which is going to be interesting. So let's

45
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:45.599
<v Speaker 2>talk about some of the great cars that you see

46
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:49.159
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty five. Let's talk about just the regular sedans.

47
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:51.479
<v Speaker 2>I guess you like the Honda Civic, you like the

48
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:55.919
<v Speaker 2>Hondai Alantra Hybrid, and you like the Honda Record. We

49
00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:59.280
<v Speaker 2>all three of those. Is it one two three or

50
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:01.960
<v Speaker 2>is it one and a half one in a quarter

51
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:02.680
<v Speaker 2>one and a half.

52
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:06.840
<v Speaker 1>It's actually one one one because each one stands alone

53
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:07.960
<v Speaker 1>in this category.

54
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:11.919
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well, let's let's talk about thee cific give

55
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:14.039
<v Speaker 2>us a sense on that best compact car.

56
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:17.680
<v Speaker 1>So before we jump into the specific cars, let's talk

57
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.360
<v Speaker 1>a little bit about the awards. And you know, these

58
00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:25.199
<v Speaker 1>awards exist because we know that buying a cheap car

59
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:28.159
<v Speaker 1>is not always the best deal. You have to look at,

60
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:30.080
<v Speaker 1>you know how much that car is going to cost

61
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.719
<v Speaker 1>you over its lifespan. You have to look at whether

62
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:34.280
<v Speaker 1>that's car is still going to be on the road

63
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:36.159
<v Speaker 1>with you in five years, and whether you're still going

64
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:39.319
<v Speaker 1>to be enjoying that car. So we look at data

65
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:44.479
<v Speaker 1>from predicted cost of operations, we look at ownership costs,

66
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:48.439
<v Speaker 1>we look at predicted reliability. We don't just sit in

67
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:50.960
<v Speaker 1>the back room and throw darts at the dartboard. This

68
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>is all research based and we come up with what

69
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:56.199
<v Speaker 1>we consider to be the best cars for the money.

70
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.080
<v Speaker 2>By the way, just the curiosity, how long has US

71
00:03:59.159 --> 00:04:02.280
<v Speaker 2>World a news report been doing this survey or releasing

72
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:03.439
<v Speaker 2>this information every year?

73
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:06.840
<v Speaker 1>We've been doing the best cars for the money for

74
00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>I think about a decade.

75
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:12.719
<v Speaker 2>Okay, and have you had a pretty good Obviously, it's

76
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:16.279
<v Speaker 2>like you picked the MVP in the American League or

77
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:19.279
<v Speaker 2>the Pro Bowl quarterback. Sometimes you hit it, sometimes you don't.

78
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:21.720
<v Speaker 2>I assume, since you're doing it ten years, you've got

79
00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:22.680
<v Speaker 2>a pretty good track record.

80
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.040
<v Speaker 1>I think we did. I think we find the right ones,

81
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:28.879
<v Speaker 1>and I think we give shoppers really good information here.

82
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, so let's talk. I just want to hit

83
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.360
<v Speaker 2>as as many as we can here. Just folks might

84
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:39.519
<v Speaker 2>be thinking, tell us the Honda Civic, Hondas, that's a

85
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 2>pretty reasonably priced car. What are we talking about to

86
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:44.480
<v Speaker 2>buy a new twenty twenty five Honda Civic.

87
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:48.040
<v Speaker 1>How it is, you know, the Civic span kind of

88
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.800
<v Speaker 1>a value leader since it came to America in like

89
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:54.120
<v Speaker 1>nineteen seventy two. The new Civic is a lot bigger,

90
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:56.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot better, probably the best Civic we've ever had.

91
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:00.199
<v Speaker 1>You can get into it in the twenties and it's

92
00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.319
<v Speaker 1>going to give you, you know, a lot of great life.

93
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:08.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So let's talk real quickly if we can about

94
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:13.240
<v Speaker 2>maybe the the Hyundai Elantra hybrid. That's a that's the

95
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:16.079
<v Speaker 2>best hybrid car. What's the cost of that. I assume

96
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:17.360
<v Speaker 2>it's a little more than the Civic.

97
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:20.399
<v Speaker 1>It's a little more than the Civic. All hybrids are

98
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:23.920
<v Speaker 1>slightly more expensive than their non hybrid counterparts. But you

99
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:26.920
<v Speaker 1>over the life of the car, you get that money

100
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:28.800
<v Speaker 1>back in gas price, in cast costs.

101
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.800
<v Speaker 2>Okay, fair enough, Honda record best mid size cars. So

102
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:34.720
<v Speaker 2>we get in a little bit more room. I assume'm

103
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:36.000
<v Speaker 2>going to be a little bit more expensive.

104
00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:39.160
<v Speaker 1>Yes, you're up in the thirties with the Accord for

105
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.319
<v Speaker 1>the most part. Okay, So now we get to another

106
00:05:42.399 --> 00:05:43.040
<v Speaker 1>rock solid car.

107
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.879
<v Speaker 2>Good. We get to the the SUVs and the mini vans,

108
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:53.199
<v Speaker 2>and you got a Hyundai Tucson best compact Suv looks

109
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:55.879
<v Speaker 2>like a pretty good sized car. I guess we're going

110
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:57.519
<v Speaker 2>up a little bit in price once we get to

111
00:05:57.560 --> 00:05:59.199
<v Speaker 2>the SUV's and the minivans.

112
00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:03.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, up in price. The two soon competes in the

113
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:06.680
<v Speaker 1>toughest category of the American market right now, which is

114
00:06:07.000 --> 00:06:11.639
<v Speaker 1>compact sub up against like the Honda CRV and Toyota four.

115
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:14.560
<v Speaker 1>But when it comes to s car for money, it's

116
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:15.920
<v Speaker 1>the Tucson okay.

117
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:20.279
<v Speaker 2>And then you have a full electric Hyundai, the Hyundai

118
00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:23.360
<v Speaker 2>Kona Electric for those who want an electric car. And

119
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:26.800
<v Speaker 2>I know that there's still some people who are saying yes,

120
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:28.959
<v Speaker 2>some people are saying no. And the question is you

121
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.360
<v Speaker 2>also got to make sure that you get a charging

122
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:36.560
<v Speaker 2>station accessibility. Are those electric car prices coming down a

123
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:37.399
<v Speaker 2>little bit? Generally?

124
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:43.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, they are kind of stabilized, but the demand

125
00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:44.759
<v Speaker 1>is down a little bit, so you can get a

126
00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:48.759
<v Speaker 1>better deal right now. It makes much more sense if

127
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:50.439
<v Speaker 1>you have a charging station at home than if you

128
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:53.680
<v Speaker 1>have to try and publicly charge it. But the Conte

129
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Electric is one of the least expensive electric cars you

130
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:57.160
<v Speaker 1>can buy right now.

131
00:06:57.600 --> 00:06:59.959
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'm going to skip around here a little bit

132
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:01.560
<v Speaker 2>for the fun of it, and I want to move

133
00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:09.439
<v Speaker 2>over to the Honda Passport. It's the best two row suv.

134
00:07:10.399 --> 00:07:13.199
<v Speaker 2>Sort of what I have something old? I have an

135
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:15.639
<v Speaker 2>old Vovo, which is sort of in that category. But

136
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:17.720
<v Speaker 2>we're going to step out of my Vovo and get

137
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:19.879
<v Speaker 2>into a Honda Passport. What am I looking at here?

138
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:23.639
<v Speaker 1>You're looking at probably around forty thousand for the one

139
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:24.199
<v Speaker 1>you want.

140
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:26.959
<v Speaker 2>And that's a good quality car.

141
00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:29.759
<v Speaker 1>That's a good quality car. And what's interesting about the

142
00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:34.079
<v Speaker 1>Passport in this survey, in this study is that there's

143
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:36.519
<v Speaker 1>a new Passport for twenty tranky six. The twenty twenty

144
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:39.079
<v Speaker 1>five is in the last year of it's a product cycle,

145
00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:41.560
<v Speaker 1>and it's still won interesting.

146
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.519
<v Speaker 2>Interesting. Is it dangerous to buy a car in the

147
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:46.240
<v Speaker 2>last year of its product cycle?

148
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:50.079
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely not. In fact, a lot of experts will tell

149
00:07:50.079 --> 00:07:52.959
<v Speaker 1>you that that's when the best quality comes fair enough.

150
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:56.040
<v Speaker 2>Here's one the name interesting me I know that tell

151
00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:59.680
<v Speaker 2>you Ride is a resort area, a very exclusive resort

152
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:02.959
<v Speaker 2>area or at Colorado. So the twenty twenty five Kia

153
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:06.439
<v Speaker 2>tell you Ride three row suv, that's going to be

154
00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.639
<v Speaker 2>a pretty good size suv. What do you think of

155
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:10.120
<v Speaker 2>that car?

156
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:13.319
<v Speaker 1>Can you tell your ride's fantastic? It's been out for

157
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:17.199
<v Speaker 1>several years now. It's big and it needs to be

158
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:19.839
<v Speaker 1>beg to carry all the awards that it's won over

159
00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:23.800
<v Speaker 1>the last few years. It is a rock star amongst

160
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:25.759
<v Speaker 1>three row SUVs.

161
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:30.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, and that's gonna be fifty or more you assuming.

162
00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:33.919
<v Speaker 1>You can get it and win the forties, but it

163
00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:38.159
<v Speaker 1>easily goes into the fifties and even below sixties to

164
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:38.919
<v Speaker 1>get the top end.

165
00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:41.320
<v Speaker 2>One interesting, okay, real quick, if I'm just going to

166
00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:43.600
<v Speaker 2>ask you a question, I forever have been a Vovo person,

167
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:45.679
<v Speaker 2>But if they're going to getting away from a Vovo,

168
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.600
<v Speaker 2>I like the safety of the Volvo. My Vovo's quite old,

169
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:53.039
<v Speaker 2>it's eleven years old. Would I be disappointed with a

170
00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:55.440
<v Speaker 2>tell you ride after having hit a Voval?

171
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:58.600
<v Speaker 1>You would not be disappointed with a tell you ride

172
00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:03.720
<v Speaker 1>after having a Volvo because Volvo, you know, own safety forever.

173
00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:06.519
<v Speaker 1>It still does great on safety, but everybody else is

174
00:09:06.519 --> 00:09:06.919
<v Speaker 1>caught up.

175
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:09.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, I think so. And real quick, let me

176
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:13.080
<v Speaker 2>get one truck thing in one truck here that twenty

177
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:16.440
<v Speaker 2>twenty five, fifteen hundred, Now that looks like a truck.

178
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:20.440
<v Speaker 1>That is a truck. That is a big, full sized

179
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:24.200
<v Speaker 1>truck new engine family this year. That is fantastic. It's

180
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:27.000
<v Speaker 1>the most refined engine you'll find in a pickup truck today,

181
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:30.799
<v Speaker 1>most comfortable cab in the industry, and best ride of

182
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:32.080
<v Speaker 1>any pickup truck you'll find.

183
00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:33.679
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'd like to do, John, If it's

184
00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:36.639
<v Speaker 2>okay with you, maybe bring you back some and we'll

185
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:39.559
<v Speaker 2>spend an hour and we'll take phone calls from different

186
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:43.399
<v Speaker 2>folks who are out in the in shopping around. Let's

188
00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:49.360
<v Speaker 2>And I think this might be a fun topic, particularly

189
00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:53.240
<v Speaker 2>as we approach Washington's birthday, which you're old enough to remember,

190

<v Speaker 2>going to go from cars to Legos. Legos is celebrating

<v Speaker 2>We'll explain, we'll pull it all together for you here

204
00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:26.159
<v Speaker 2>on Nightside.

<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

206
00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.

207
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, Lego Brookes sixty seventh birthday and Lego Discovery Center

208
00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:42.360
<v Speaker 2>in Boston celebrating and they're going to launch a brand

209
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:47.600
<v Speaker 2>new event called Lego Creativity Academy this Thursday to thirty

210
00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:51.039
<v Speaker 2>is actually today through March third, with us as Caleb

211
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:56.600
<v Speaker 2>thom He is a master model builder. Caleb, Welcome to Nightside.

212
00:10:56.600 --> 00:10:57.120
<v Speaker 2>How are you, sir?

213
00:10:58.279 --> 00:10:58.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm doing well.

214
00:10:58.960 --> 00:10:59.559
<v Speaker 4>How are you? Dan?

215
00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:02.519
<v Speaker 2>Great? I kind of missed the Lego thing because I

216
00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:07.600
<v Speaker 2>was born a little bit before when they arrived. How

217
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.159
<v Speaker 2>popular is Lego these days worldwide?

218
00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:15.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, if it wasn't popular back then, it's certainly popular now.

219
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:19.399
<v Speaker 3>It's especially in the past couple of years, perhaps since

220
00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:23.480
<v Speaker 3>the pandemic, it's seen a surge, especially with adults who

221
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:26.000
<v Speaker 3>are now playing with them, having fun just as much

222
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:26.600
<v Speaker 3>as kids are.

223
00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:31.120
<v Speaker 2>So what prompted that you're talking about? You know, COVID

224
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:34.200
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one, twenty two, twenty

225
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:40.000
<v Speaker 2>three did people rediscover their their inner childhood self or

226
00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:41.519
<v Speaker 2>how did this, how did this evolve?

227
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:44.799
<v Speaker 3>I think it must have been something like that. And

228
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:48.080
<v Speaker 3>it might be too that it's it's always been like

229
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:50.320
<v Speaker 3>a puzzle. It's always been like a game. And people

230
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:53.440
<v Speaker 3>enjoyed Lego in very different ways, whether they're playing with

231
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:56.200
<v Speaker 3>it as kids like action figures, they're building it for

232
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:58.960
<v Speaker 3>display models in their home like a lot of adults.

233
00:11:59.039 --> 00:11:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Do.

234
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:03.399
<v Speaker 2>Now, give us the history of Lego again, as I say,

235
00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:05.720
<v Speaker 2>I kind of missed it. I've always been aware of it.

236
00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:09.399
<v Speaker 2>How who invented it? Where did it start and how

237
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:10.120
<v Speaker 2>did it spread?

238
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:11.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

239
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:14.679
<v Speaker 3>Sure, so it started in Denmark. And as you said,

240
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:17.600
<v Speaker 3>it's the sixty seventh birthday of Lego, And what that

241
00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:21.320
<v Speaker 3>really means is sixty seven years ago, Godfred Kirk Christensen

242
00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:24.039
<v Speaker 3>got the first patent for what we know now today.

243
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:26.279
<v Speaker 3>It's the Lego brick and the cool thing. And why

244
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:29.559
<v Speaker 3>that's important is that Lego bricks from sixty seven years

245
00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:31.919
<v Speaker 3>ago can still be used and are compatible with pieces

246
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:34.799
<v Speaker 3>made today. So it's kind of a continuation of a

247
00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:37.679
<v Speaker 3>product that's what stood the test of time and has

248
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:40.519
<v Speaker 3>been popular through a lot of different ages.

249
00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Boy, there's no planned obsolescence with Lego. Isn't that wonderful?

250
00:12:45.080 --> 00:12:47.759
<v Speaker 2>I mean so many things I certinly hope not no,

251
00:12:47.840 --> 00:12:50.159
<v Speaker 2>but no. Seriously, so many things you buy these days

252
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:52.320
<v Speaker 2>you're trying to get a replacement and you realize that

253
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:55.639
<v Speaker 2>there's no replacement, so you're out of luck. Now, Lego

254
00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:02.480
<v Speaker 2>is developing a huge footprint in Boston, the Discovery Center.

255
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:05.879
<v Speaker 2>How did that come to pass? And what can we

256
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:08.639
<v Speaker 2>do to drive people there and make people aware of

257
00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:10.720
<v Speaker 2>this new asset in the city.

258
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:12.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

259
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:15.320
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely. The biggest thing I think was a remodel back

260
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:19.919
<v Speaker 3>in twenty nineteen. Since then, it's been our Discovery Center

261
00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:22.840
<v Speaker 3>here in Summerville, one of the only and at very

262
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:26.440
<v Speaker 3>least the pre eminent attraction in the Northeast for playing,

263
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:30.360
<v Speaker 3>having fun and exploring Lego bricks. And we have over

264
00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:33.360
<v Speaker 3>two million of those Lego bricks at the Discovery Center

265
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:34.480
<v Speaker 3>where people to enjoy.

266
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:40.320
<v Speaker 2>Now is that open and free to the public or

267
00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:42.600
<v Speaker 2>is there a little bit of a charge to participate

268
00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:44.080
<v Speaker 2>and get in? How does that work?

269
00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:45.519
<v Speaker 4>There is?

270
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:48.240
<v Speaker 3>And the best way I could put is that we're

271
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:52.039
<v Speaker 3>most catered to families with children in age three to twelve,

272
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:56.000
<v Speaker 3>but we allow families of course to come in and

273
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:59.039
<v Speaker 3>enjoy the attraction of both kids and adults. You do

274
00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:02.399
<v Speaker 3>have to have a child under the age of eighteen

275
00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:05.399
<v Speaker 3>for entry, which starts at twenty four ninety nine, and

276
00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:09.440
<v Speaker 3>there's packages and other add ons, but twenty four ninety

277
00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:11.399
<v Speaker 3>nine is the taketd entry.

278
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:15.080
<v Speaker 2>I hope that's the family price, not per per family member.

279
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:16.440
<v Speaker 4>That's right.

280
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:18.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's per family member, Okay.

281
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:21.399
<v Speaker 2>And that's open seven days a week. They have to

282
00:14:21.399 --> 00:14:22.399
<v Speaker 2>make recussions.

283
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:26.919
<v Speaker 3>You can make reservations and if you book online you

284
00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:29.240
<v Speaker 3>might be able to say something or check out some

285
00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:33.279
<v Speaker 3>special events that we were running through, like you said,

286
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:36.919
<v Speaker 3>through March second, but also things that are seasonal, like

287
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:40.080
<v Speaker 3>our Valentine's Day Adult Night that we have coming up

288
00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:41.360
<v Speaker 3>on February fourteenth.

289
00:14:41.919 --> 00:14:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, you talk with you, that's a Friday night, So

290
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.799
<v Speaker 2>that's a great That is a great timing this year

291
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:49.759
<v Speaker 2>with Valentine's on Friday night. So you're talking about something

292
00:14:49.799 --> 00:14:56.200
<v Speaker 2>called Lego Creativity Creativity Academy. Is that something new and

293
00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:58.360
<v Speaker 2>is it going to be transitory or is that something

294
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.600
<v Speaker 2>that's this putting down some roots here in Boston.

295
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:05.840
<v Speaker 3>Well, it certainly is new. We started as of today

296
00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:09.720
<v Speaker 3>January thirtieth, and we'll be running through early March. It

297
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:13.600
<v Speaker 3>is an event that we're doing across all Discovery Centers

298
00:15:13.600 --> 00:15:16.600
<v Speaker 3>and here in Boston. What are entails is a set

299
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:20.960
<v Speaker 3>of activities that families kids get to participate in throughout

300
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:24.559
<v Speaker 3>the Discovery Center. Master model builders there to guide them

301
00:15:24.720 --> 00:15:27.039
<v Speaker 3>through some tips and tricks. Hopefully you have a lot

302
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:29.799
<v Speaker 3>of fun and at the very end they're able to

303
00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:33.279
<v Speaker 3>submit builds for what is the first time a global

304
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:35.600
<v Speaker 3>competition for a mini master model builder.

305
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Is this a family or does it? Is it limited

306
00:15:40.879 --> 00:15:43.360
<v Speaker 2>to kids in certain ages? If you get my drift,

307
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:45.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, I can remember when they used to do

308
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:49.759
<v Speaker 2>the Pinewood Derby and it was always the dads who

309
00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:57.039
<v Speaker 2>were working on the car. Yeah, So is this a

310
00:15:57.080 --> 00:16:00.440
<v Speaker 2>family activity or does a family watch as the the

311
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.600
<v Speaker 2>child actually constructs the masterpiece.

312
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:08.759
<v Speaker 3>We certainly encourage families to be part of the experience,

313
00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:10.919
<v Speaker 3>be part of the project, but in the end, it

314
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:13.320
<v Speaker 3>is the kid who is the one with their name

315
00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:16.639
<v Speaker 3>on it, submitting the build as their own, and we

316
00:16:16.919 --> 00:16:20.279
<v Speaker 3>take part in choosing winners at the end of this

317
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:22.840
<v Speaker 3>event to then move on to the next phase of

318
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:26.879
<v Speaker 3>the competition, which is representing the Boston area in the

319
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:28.919
<v Speaker 3>search for the next Mini Master Model builder.

320
00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:31.799
<v Speaker 2>Now, I know this is a fun job for you

321
00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:34.159
<v Speaker 2>to have. I heard the enthusiasm in your voice. Did

322
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:35.600
<v Speaker 2>you grow up as a Lego kid?

323
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:40.879
<v Speaker 3>I really didn't. It's funny enough. I grew up building

324
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:43.639
<v Speaker 3>Lego and then it must have been a good gap

325
00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:46.080
<v Speaker 3>of ten years until I got back into it. Kind

326
00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:49.840
<v Speaker 3>Of like you said, there's been just a surge and

327
00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:53.240
<v Speaker 3>people building Lego. It seems to be everywhere now and

328
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:55.240
<v Speaker 3>I find myself to be one of those people too.

329
00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:00.519
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's great, so again I thank you. Folks. Get

330
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:03.240
<v Speaker 2>information to get a website, you know, always great to

331
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:05.160
<v Speaker 2>have a conversation. It's great if there's a website we

332
00:17:05.200 --> 00:17:07.319
<v Speaker 2>could drive some people to who might be interested, because

333
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:09.519
<v Speaker 2>a lot of folks are listening driving home from work

334
00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:11.680
<v Speaker 2>and they don't have a paper and a scratch pad

335
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:13.000
<v Speaker 2>next to them.

336
00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:14.200
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely.

337
00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

358
00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:24.519
<v Speaker 2>bottom of the hour, have you thought about retiring overseas?

359
00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Apparently more and more Americans are thinking about it. We're

360
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:32.079
<v Speaker 2>going to talk with Kathleen Wong of USA today with

362
00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:40.200
<v Speaker 2>and I think many of them will kind of surprise.

<v Speaker 1>On Nightside with Dan Ray on WBZY, Boston's news Radio.

372
00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:14.640
<v Speaker 2>Want to welcome Kathleen Wong of USA Today. She's a

373
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:20.559
<v Speaker 2>consumer travel reporter. And I didn't realize, Kathleen, Welcome to

374
00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:26.119
<v Speaker 2>Night's Side, that that many Americans are thinking about retiring overseas.

375
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:27.160
<v Speaker 2>What's up with that?

376
00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:29.079
<v Speaker 1>Hi?

377
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:35.279
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, nice to be here. It's definitely catching on. Just

378
00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:39.440
<v Speaker 5>since maybe what a two thousand and eight, there's been

379
00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:44.200
<v Speaker 5>a forty percent increase in Americans abroad who are collecting

380
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:47.720
<v Speaker 5>Social Security income, and I think it's just kind of

381
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:52.559
<v Speaker 5>becoming more mainstream. A gallop Pool found from twenty eleven

382
00:19:52.599 --> 00:19:56.279
<v Speaker 5>to twenty twenty four, a number of Americans who want

383
00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:59.920
<v Speaker 5>to live overseas has more than doubled. I think they're

384
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:03.200
<v Speaker 5>hearing other people do it successfully and want to tie

385
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:06.519
<v Speaker 5>another lifestyle themselves. I think it could be, you know,

386
00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:10.359
<v Speaker 5>the political climate, the uncertainty kind of driving people to

387
00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:14.720
<v Speaker 5>other countries and just kind of realizing that dream it's

388
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:15.920
<v Speaker 5>becoming more realistic.

389
00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:19.799
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, so you said that there's a forty percent increase.

390
00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:22.480
<v Speaker 2>I think you said since two thousand and eighties. How

391
00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:27.519
<v Speaker 2>many Americans I'm just curious how many Americans have actually,

392
00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:32.359
<v Speaker 2>if you know, have relocated in their retirement on a

393
00:20:32.440 --> 00:20:38.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, permit or a quasi permanent intention to finish

394
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:41.480
<v Speaker 2>their lives overseas. Is that how big is the number

395
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:42.559
<v Speaker 2>or is it? Is it?

396
00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:47.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's a good question for sure. So last year

397
00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:52.359
<v Speaker 5>the number was more than seven hundred and sixty thousand

398
00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:55.359
<v Speaker 5>Social Security beneficiaries living abroad.

399
00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:00.599
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so that's seven hundred and sixty thousand total, not

400
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:03.200
<v Speaker 2>seven hundred and sixty thousand who decided last year was

401
00:21:03.200 --> 00:21:07.200
<v Speaker 2>the year to immigrate abroad. And okay, okay, well that's

402
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:12.160
<v Speaker 2>a significant number of people if they were breakdown in terms,

403
00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:13.880
<v Speaker 2>and again I know this is I want to get

404
00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:15.559
<v Speaker 2>to the cities here, but I'm just trying to get

405
00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:20.359
<v Speaker 2>is everybody heading to a couple of countries or is

406
00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:23.519
<v Speaker 2>it is it a real you know, dispersion of people

407
00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:25.039
<v Speaker 2>around the world.

408
00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

409
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:29.759
<v Speaker 5>I don't have specific numbers on where people are going,

410
00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:34.599
<v Speaker 5>but I'm from my reporting, I hear a lot about Panama, Mexico,

411
00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:38.400
<v Speaker 5>and a lot in Europe, Spain and Portugal because it's

412
00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:40.319
<v Speaker 5>more affordable in the countries.

413
00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:45.000
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well, let's talk about the the fourteen cities. Uh,

414
00:21:45.039 --> 00:21:48.359
<v Speaker 2>and and again if people can find this this article,

415
00:21:48.440 --> 00:21:54.319
<v Speaker 2>you'll work in the in USA today. But let's uh.

416
00:21:54.359 --> 00:21:59.480
<v Speaker 2>I got these fourteen cities and they It's interesting. I

417
00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:02.799
<v Speaker 2>assumed that a city like Montreal would be on there,

418
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:08.519
<v Speaker 2>made or London. We start off with Valencia, Spain and

419
00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:12.680
<v Speaker 2>a city in Portugal, and then met a Lean in Colombia.

420
00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:15.599
<v Speaker 2>I thought, that's a dangerous city. What's what's up with that?

421
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:16.960
<v Speaker 2>That really surprised me.

422
00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:22.599
<v Speaker 5>Yeah. Yeah, this index, it's an annual index from Living

423
00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:24.279
<v Speaker 5>invest Overseas.

424
00:22:24.599 --> 00:22:25.160
<v Speaker 3>They do.

425
00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:28.000
<v Speaker 5>They cast a wide net. They have on the ground

426
00:22:28.519 --> 00:22:32.599
<v Speaker 5>resources and they also their whole team is across the country,

427
00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:36.319
<v Speaker 5>so they're pretty tapped into you know, what these cities

428
00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:38.920
<v Speaker 5>are like in real time? I guess you can say.

429
00:22:39.640 --> 00:22:43.680
<v Speaker 5>But yeah, Valencia, Spain's a super popular place for expats

430
00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:46.920
<v Speaker 5>and Valencia is a big city, but not too big.

431
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:50.720
<v Speaker 5>You know, it's pretty, it's right on the Mediterranean. It's

432
00:22:50.759 --> 00:22:55.200
<v Speaker 5>affordable right now, Spain is somewhat easy for people to

433
00:22:55.240 --> 00:22:59.960
<v Speaker 5>get residency. I think in like five years. Portugal as

434
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:04.480
<v Speaker 5>well a popular place. You know, you probably heard of Lisbon,

435
00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:08.319
<v Speaker 5>but this cash Taise is kind of a smaller suburb

436
00:23:08.519 --> 00:23:14.079
<v Speaker 5>of Lisbon and it's a really friendly environment, very affordable. Safe.

437
00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:17.759
<v Speaker 5>Safety is also a big deal to a lot of people.

438
00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:22.720
<v Speaker 5>But yeah, that brings us to men Median. Yeah, the

439
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:28.440
<v Speaker 5>city is definitely rising. I think in popularity, it's become safer.

440
00:23:28.519 --> 00:23:31.359
<v Speaker 5>I know it has kind of a stigma, but it's

441
00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:34.839
<v Speaker 5>a really vibrant place. They told they told me that

442
00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:39.559
<v Speaker 5>it's there's a lot of concerts, festivals, a big stood scene.

443
00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:43.960
<v Speaker 5>It's the only place in the country that has a metro,

444
00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:46.880
<v Speaker 5>so it's easy to get around and it's come a

445
00:23:46.920 --> 00:23:47.319
<v Speaker 5>long way.

446
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:51.279
<v Speaker 2>Okay, then I want to get a few more. We

447
00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:56.319
<v Speaker 2>got a crete uh in Greece. That's an island, correct.

448
00:23:57.359 --> 00:24:03.359
<v Speaker 5>Yes, yeah, a beautiful place. Yeah, you know there.

449
00:24:02.839 --> 00:24:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Also we have we have one city which I had

450
00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:12.920
<v Speaker 2>never heard of in Mexico, uh, Mazeelin muscle muscle and muscle.

451
00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:14.359
<v Speaker 2>How what's the pronunciation.

452
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:17.880
<v Speaker 5>I'm not completely sure either.

453
00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:21.759
<v Speaker 2>The next one's easy. The next one's pizza, the leading

454
00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:25.400
<v Speaker 2>tower of pizza in Italy. I didn't realize that that's

455
00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:29.400
<v Speaker 2>number six on the list. And then from France. Uh,

456
00:24:29.440 --> 00:24:33.440
<v Speaker 2>you have uh La Rochelle sounds like Rochelle New York,

457
00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:35.359
<v Speaker 2>but that's neither here.

458
00:24:35.599 --> 00:24:39.359
<v Speaker 5>No, paris definitely very different. Yeah.

459
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:42.240
<v Speaker 2>I have a friend who lived who lives in Belize,

460
00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:45.359
<v Speaker 2>an American who spends half the year in Belize. That

461
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:49.319
<v Speaker 2>is a real interesting spot in the in the in

462
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:59.160
<v Speaker 2>the Caribbean, we got Cyprus, Montenegro, that's beautiful, Mendoza, Argentina. Uh.

463
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:01.440
<v Speaker 2>And then a city the Dominican. I've heard about a

464
00:25:01.480 --> 00:25:06.160
<v Speaker 2>lot of communities in the Dominican, which is so close, uh,

465
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:10.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, shares you know, shares its its island paradise

466
00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:13.839
<v Speaker 2>with uh, with Puerto Rico les Terranas. Is that how

467
00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:14.599
<v Speaker 2>that's pronounced?

468
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:18.799
<v Speaker 5>Yes, I think, So what can you tell us about.

469
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:20.680
<v Speaker 2>That, because that's one that's you know, kind of in

470
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:21.640
<v Speaker 2>the neighborhood.

471
00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:24.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

472
00:25:24.480 --> 00:25:28.279
<v Speaker 5>Obviously tropical climates and a lot of people, you know,

473
00:25:28.519 --> 00:25:30.680
<v Speaker 5>would seek that in their retirement if they want to

474
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:35.920
<v Speaker 5>spend their days somewhere it's beautiful. There's gorgeous beaches and

475
00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:38.599
<v Speaker 5>it's not, like you said, it's not too far from

476
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:41.799
<v Speaker 5>the States as far as the plane ride goes. So

477
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:45.200
<v Speaker 5>I think if you're kind of looking for uh laid

478
00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:48.559
<v Speaker 5>back beach town, that's a really good option and it's

479
00:25:48.599 --> 00:25:50.240
<v Speaker 5>definitely rising in popularity.

480
00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:54.720
<v Speaker 2>And then the final two uh is one is in Thailand,

481
00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:59.039
<v Speaker 2>Hawaiian which I've never heard of in Thailand, and Veraguas

482
00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:03.960
<v Speaker 2>and Panama. A Greenland didn't make the list. I see

483
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:06.119
<v Speaker 2>Panama made the list, but not Greenland.

484
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:10.640
<v Speaker 5>No, it did not. Yeah, it's a very it's a

485
00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:12.720
<v Speaker 5>list that it definitely makes you think and want to

486
00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:16.680
<v Speaker 5>look into some of these places. But they do weigh

487
00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:19.519
<v Speaker 5>like fifteen factors when they come up with the list

488
00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:21.880
<v Speaker 5>of it's cost of living is a big one, healthcare,

489
00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:25.359
<v Speaker 5>you know, safety, taxes, things to do that people would

490
00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:29.119
<v Speaker 5>want to enjoy with all their free time. So they

491
00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:32.039
<v Speaker 5>all have I think something worth checking out.

492
00:26:32.319 --> 00:26:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's interesting. At seven hundred and sixty thousand ex pats, boy,

493
00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:40.640
<v Speaker 2>that's a lot. That's a lot of people. As I

494
00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:43.519
<v Speaker 2>assume I'm represented by a lot of baby boomers, so

495
00:26:44.119 --> 00:26:47.680
<v Speaker 2>I really enjoyed this. This was this was a fun conversation.

496
00:26:47.839 --> 00:26:51.759
<v Speaker 2>It opened my eyes, Kathleen, and we'll follow you in

497
00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:54.519
<v Speaker 2>the USA today. Thanks so much for joining us. And

498
00:26:54.680 --> 00:26:57.200
<v Speaker 2>maybe we'll have you back some night and we'll take

499
00:26:57.240 --> 00:26:59.680
<v Speaker 2>some calls from callers and they can ask you questions

500
00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:02.279
<v Speaker 2>about some of these specific locales.

501
00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:04.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, this sounds fun. Thank you for your interest.

502
00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Thank you much, Kathleen. Kathleen Wong of USA today on

503
00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:13.519
<v Speaker 2>fourteen best Overseas retirement Spots for twenty twenty five. And

504
00:27:13.720 --> 00:27:17.640
<v Speaker 2>I didn't realize seven hundred and sixty thousand Americans getting

505
00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:22.160
<v Speaker 2>their Social Security checks overseas. Wow, we'll be back. We

506
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:26.279
<v Speaker 2>have one more very special guest here on this Thursday

507
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:28.960
<v Speaker 2>night edition of Nightside. This one's kind of serious. Going

508
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:31.599
<v Speaker 2>to talk with the military historian and college professor about

509
00:27:31.720 --> 00:27:38.480
<v Speaker 2>EMP attacks. These are what's called electromagnetic pulses and they

510
00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:41.559
<v Speaker 2>have been weaponized, something we should all be aware of,

511
00:27:41.759 --> 00:27:44.519
<v Speaker 2>not afraid of, but aware of. Back on Nightside after this.

512
00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:48.880
<v Speaker 2>Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World

513
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:50.160
<v Speaker 2>Nightside Studios.

514
00:27:50.240 --> 00:27:52.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm DUMBZ News Radio.

515
00:27:52.799 --> 00:27:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Just take one moment of personal privilege. Here what we

516
00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:59.880
<v Speaker 2>call the Arata section of nightside. I made a mistake

517
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:03.039
<v Speaker 2>during my last interview with Kathleen Wong, who was lovely.

518
00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:10.039
<v Speaker 2>I somehow linked the Dominican Republic with Puerto Rico. The

519
00:28:10.039 --> 00:28:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Dominican Republic, which is one of the vacation retirement spots

520
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:17.640
<v Speaker 2>that Americans apparently are flocking to, does not share an

521
00:28:17.680 --> 00:28:20.599
<v Speaker 2>ireland with Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is an American protectorate,

522
00:28:20.640 --> 00:28:26.759
<v Speaker 2>an island to itself. Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic shares

523
00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:33.279
<v Speaker 2>his spinola. I believe that's how it's pronounced with Haiti.

524
00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:37.440
<v Speaker 2>So I thank the kind person who called in and

525
00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:39.640
<v Speaker 2>caught me on that. You can't make a mistake on nights.

526
00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:42.720
<v Speaker 2>There's always someone out there who catches it. Now we're

527
00:28:42.720 --> 00:28:46.359
<v Speaker 2>going to a move into our fourth and final guest

528
00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:49.720
<v Speaker 2>at this hour, I want to welcome William Forsten. He's

529
00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:53.519
<v Speaker 2>a military historian and a college professor who also when

530
00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:55.880
<v Speaker 2>I read your bio, you did some construction work in

531
00:28:55.920 --> 00:28:58.480
<v Speaker 2>New York. I guess being a history teacher in the

532
00:28:58.559 --> 00:29:02.559
<v Speaker 2>nineteen seventies was probably not the best major to have

533
00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:03.880
<v Speaker 2>back then. How are you, sir?

534
00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:10.680
<v Speaker 4>I was doing renovations on office buildings on thirty fourth

535
00:29:10.680 --> 00:29:14.720
<v Speaker 4>in Madison and was watching while the twin towers went up.

536
00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:17.319
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, that was back in the seventies early seventies.

537
00:29:17.359 --> 00:29:20.319
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's that's interesting. It shows that you're not just

538
00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:23.920
<v Speaker 2>some fuzzy brained academic here. This is someone who actually

539
00:29:24.759 --> 00:29:27.960
<v Speaker 2>works with his hands and with your minds and your mind.

540
00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:32.160
<v Speaker 2>And I first learned about electromagnetic pulses or e MPs

541
00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:35.480
<v Speaker 2>the book that Ray gorm wrote called seventy seven Days

542
00:29:35.480 --> 00:29:38.920
<v Speaker 2>in September. I assume you're familiar with that book, Yes.

543
00:29:38.799 --> 00:29:39.119
<v Speaker 4>I am.

544
00:29:39.240 --> 00:29:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Yeah, he's a great guy. I had him on

545
00:29:41.960 --> 00:29:44.640
<v Speaker 2>as a guest. So why don't you explain to my

546
00:29:44.720 --> 00:29:52.039
<v Speaker 2>audience this These are these are weapons now potential weapons EMPs,

547
00:29:52.319 --> 00:29:57.440
<v Speaker 2>and they could rake quite a lot of havoc, wreak

548
00:29:57.559 --> 00:29:59.799
<v Speaker 2>a lot of havoc, I should say, tell us about them.

549
00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:02.759
<v Speaker 4>Incredible, Okay, I'll try and do this in one minute

550
00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:08.400
<v Speaker 4>or less. EMP electromagnetic pulse. It's created by detonating a

551
00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:11.200
<v Speaker 4>nuclear weapon about two hundred to two hundred and fifty

552
00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:14.680
<v Speaker 4>miles out in space, a relatively small one four to

553
00:30:14.720 --> 00:30:16.720
<v Speaker 4>five times the size of a euro from a bomb.

554
00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:21.599
<v Speaker 4>When the weapon detonates, it sets up an electrostatic discharge,

555
00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:25.799
<v Speaker 4>which is called the Compton effect, cascades down into the

556
00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:32.720
<v Speaker 4>Earth's atmosphere, hits the surface, feeds into the millions of

557
00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:36.400
<v Speaker 4>miles of electrical wiring in which are now antennas, which

558
00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:39.599
<v Speaker 4>in turn feeds into our power grid and blows the

559
00:30:39.599 --> 00:30:44.000
<v Speaker 4>whole thing out. A nightmare scenario would be three of

560
00:30:44.039 --> 00:30:48.319
<v Speaker 4>these detonate the same time. Eastern United States, Central Western

561
00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:52.559
<v Speaker 4>The Scary Statistic Congress did a study of this in

562
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:55.160
<v Speaker 4>two thousand and two and came to the conclusion if

563
00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:58.200
<v Speaker 4>we were hit with an EMP, eighty to ninety percent

564
00:30:58.240 --> 00:31:00.200
<v Speaker 4>of the population would be dead a year later.

565
00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:07.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh man, this is how's your eating going otherwise? Well,

566
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:10.160
<v Speaker 2>other than that, you know, the clam channel was okay,

567
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:15.839
<v Speaker 2>but that were the main course And yeah, so okay.

568
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:18.400
<v Speaker 2>So here's the question. I'm assuming the bad guys have

569
00:31:18.559 --> 00:31:23.440
<v Speaker 2>this capacity in capability, correct, Okay, what are we doing,

570
00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:27.160
<v Speaker 2>if anything, to defend against it? So it's been around

571
00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:30.319
<v Speaker 2>for a couple of decades now at least. What what

572
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:32.240
<v Speaker 2>are we doing to defend against it?

573
00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:35.839
<v Speaker 4>Well, it was first realized in nineteen sixty two when

574
00:31:35.839 --> 00:31:38.480
<v Speaker 4>we detonated a large one and knew of about one

575
00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:42.799
<v Speaker 4>mega Ton about five hundred miles south of Hawaii, you know,

576
00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:45.759
<v Speaker 4>up in space, and it blew out part of the

577
00:31:46.079 --> 00:31:49.839
<v Speaker 4>Hallolulu power grid. Russians do it a couple months later,

578
00:31:50.039 --> 00:31:54.119
<v Speaker 4>called Russian Test one eighty four. We all know you

579
00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:56.920
<v Speaker 4>can do it all. You need nothing other than any

580
00:31:57.039 --> 00:32:01.319
<v Speaker 4>new for their weapon, a suitcase sized bomb, Hahiroshima type bomb.

581
00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:06.559
<v Speaker 4>What happens is you lose your water, you lose your electricity, food,

582
00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:08.240
<v Speaker 4>you lose everything.

583
00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:12.519
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, you don't have electricity con pump gas at gasoline stations.

584
00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:16.839
<v Speaker 2>Uh so, So okay, So the average American is not

585
00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:20.000
<v Speaker 2>aware of this, Okay. I mean we were aware of

586
00:32:20.000 --> 00:32:23.400
<v Speaker 2>the Kadashians, and we're all looking forward to the Chiefs

587
00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:26.400
<v Speaker 2>and the Eagles in the Super Bowl, which is fine,

588
00:32:27.319 --> 00:32:29.920
<v Speaker 2>but we're not aware of this. So because we're not

589
00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:34.680
<v Speaker 2>aware of it, Congress doesn't care about it. What is

590
00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:38.880
<v Speaker 2>there any system that we have that could protect ourselves

591
00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:42.359
<v Speaker 2>against that? Obviously, I don't trust the Russians, I don't

592
00:32:42.400 --> 00:32:45.880
<v Speaker 2>trust the Chinese, and I certainly don't trust a whackadoodle

593
00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:51.599
<v Speaker 2>in North Korea has one, yeah, go ahead, or the

594
00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:53.640
<v Speaker 2>molars in Iran. I mean, we got a bunch of

595
00:32:53.920 --> 00:32:56.480
<v Speaker 2>crazy people. Around the world. We're not crazy. We may

596
00:32:56.519 --> 00:32:59.240
<v Speaker 2>have weapons, but but we could have used these a

597
00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:00.839
<v Speaker 2>long time ago, and we never did.

598
00:33:02.240 --> 00:33:06.839
<v Speaker 4>The North Koreans are my primary concern, and if Iran

599
00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:11.799
<v Speaker 4>acquires an ECO weapons, they already have satellite launch capability,

600
00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:14.559
<v Speaker 4>so North Korean delivery.

601
00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:18.160
<v Speaker 2>So what you're saying is they have a delivery system, right.

602
00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:22.440
<v Speaker 4>You know in the past, how old man, I ask

603
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:23.240
<v Speaker 4>how old you are.

604
00:33:24.079 --> 00:33:28.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm on the wrong side of fifty and I worked

605
00:33:28.359 --> 00:33:31.319
<v Speaker 2>in television as a TV reporter here in Boston for

606
00:33:31.400 --> 00:33:33.720
<v Speaker 2>the CBS affiliate for thirty one years. And I'm in

607
00:33:33.759 --> 00:33:37.279
<v Speaker 2>my year eighteen, and I'm a lawyer. Went to law

608
00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:40.079
<v Speaker 2>school and for graduate school. So you can do the

609
00:33:40.119 --> 00:33:41.880
<v Speaker 2>math there. Don't give me a number of them.

610
00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:46.240
<v Speaker 4>Well, when you were a kid, when you were a kid,

611
00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:48.880
<v Speaker 4>I'm in my seventies. So I grew up during the

612
00:33:48.880 --> 00:33:54.200
<v Speaker 4>Cold War and it was the holding of mutual short destruction.

613
00:33:54.839 --> 00:33:58.279
<v Speaker 4>If the Russians hit us, we hit them. Nobody went

614
00:33:58.920 --> 00:34:01.680
<v Speaker 4>this is a game change. It's called an asymmetrical first

615
00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:05.559
<v Speaker 4>strike weapon and use a military type turn. North Koreans

616
00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:09.400
<v Speaker 4>throw this at US. Twenty minutes later, They've crippled the

617
00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:14.760
<v Speaker 4>United States. Then what we hit him back. In the end,

618
00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:17.440
<v Speaker 4>we have already lost. We'll lose the war in the

619
00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:19.039
<v Speaker 4>first thirty minutes.

620
00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:23.480
<v Speaker 2>So you know this better than I do. And we

621
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:26.960
<v Speaker 2>only have about two minutes left here. What can we

622
00:34:27.079 --> 00:34:30.800
<v Speaker 2>do to prevent that? Ah? You know, other than sending

623
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:36.239
<v Speaker 2>Dennis Rodman over there is the new USO North Korea.

624
00:34:36.519 --> 00:34:41.400
<v Speaker 4>I wish that would work all right. Trump administration first

625
00:34:41.400 --> 00:34:44.760
<v Speaker 4>time around, he started working on it, and then the

626
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:47.840
<v Speaker 4>last administration came in. We're not going to get into politics.

627
00:34:48.440 --> 00:34:52.599
<v Speaker 4>Don't have what's needed now is and that's one reason

628
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:55.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm doing a lot of interviews again, is for the

629
00:34:55.519 --> 00:35:00.000
<v Speaker 4>administration to do a comprehensive local DoD Department of Entergy

630
00:35:00.119 --> 00:35:03.480
<v Speaker 4>and others. What is an EMP? How do we prepare

631
00:35:03.519 --> 00:35:06.320
<v Speaker 4>for it? How do we protect ourselves and then move

632
00:35:06.360 --> 00:35:09.719
<v Speaker 4>ahead and do it? Don't talk about it, do it.

633
00:35:09.800 --> 00:35:14.119
<v Speaker 4>And that involves a good high tech inf you know,

634
00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:20.079
<v Speaker 4>iron dome system, and then as well preparing our infrastructure

635
00:35:20.320 --> 00:35:22.880
<v Speaker 4>to be able to better handle this. There are ways

636
00:35:22.880 --> 00:35:26.760
<v Speaker 4>of protecting yourself with different types of circuit breaking systems

637
00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:31.079
<v Speaker 4>and improved wiring and et cetera. You know, Department of Energy,

638
00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:35.119
<v Speaker 4>we're running electricity on a forty to fifty year old system.

639
00:35:35.159 --> 00:35:37.239
<v Speaker 4>In places it's antiquated.

640
00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:41.039
<v Speaker 2>We have to modernize absolutely. And you know they talk

641
00:35:41.079 --> 00:35:48.000
<v Speaker 2>about the dome, think about Israel. They're iron smaller territory

642
00:35:48.679 --> 00:35:55.280
<v Speaker 2>deals with inter ballistic missiles. Primarily, this isn't a ballistic missile.

643
00:35:55.320 --> 00:35:57.960
<v Speaker 2>This is a different type of weapon. And I want

644
00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:01.039
<v Speaker 2>to make sure that a dome, which will cost trillions

645
00:36:01.039 --> 00:36:05.119
<v Speaker 2>of dollars, we'll protect us against e MPs. I'm with you,

646
00:36:05.239 --> 00:36:08.920
<v Speaker 2>We'll have you back. Okay, you're talking my language. Trust me.

647
00:36:09.239 --> 00:36:12.800
<v Speaker 2>We are both baby boomers, and we know what it

648
00:36:12.840 --> 00:36:16.199
<v Speaker 2>was like in the fifties and sixties hiding under your desk,

649
00:36:16.239 --> 00:36:17.840
<v Speaker 2>and I don't want to see my grand caps doing

650
00:36:17.840 --> 00:36:20.599
<v Speaker 2>the same thing, simple as that William forshed him. So

651
00:36:20.719 --> 00:36:22.840
<v Speaker 2>give us. The book is called about E m P

652
00:36:23.639 --> 00:36:28.880
<v Speaker 2>One second after by William. That's spelled f RS four

653
00:36:30.079 --> 00:36:35.840
<v Speaker 2>yeah HGN. But about E M P one second after

654
00:36:36.559 --> 00:36:38.639
<v Speaker 2>that's a book, folks, I'd love you all to get

655
00:36:38.679 --> 00:36:41.360
<v Speaker 2>and read. I mean it, honestly. Or seventy seven days

656
00:36:41.400 --> 00:36:44.199
<v Speaker 2>in September. That's more of a novel. But these are

657
00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:45.360
<v Speaker 2>two very important books.

658
00:36:45.920 --> 00:36:47.159
<v Speaker 4>Is the novel as well?

659
00:36:47.280 --> 00:36:50.519
<v Speaker 2>Yep, that's Okay, that's okay, but let's let's keep it

660
00:36:50.559 --> 00:36:53.079
<v Speaker 2>as novels. We do not want it to be a

661
00:36:53.119 --> 00:36:56.159
<v Speaker 2>true story, because it will be an obituary for all

662
00:36:56.199 --> 00:36:59.400
<v Speaker 2>of us. Thank you so much. Thanks for your work, professor,

663
00:36:59.480 --> 00:37:00.159
<v Speaker 2>appreciate it.

664
00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:02.840
<v Speaker 4>Thank you, God bless have a good email.

665
00:37:02.960 --> 00:37:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Right back at you. Okay, we come back. We're going

666
00:37:04.880 --> 00:37:08.159
<v Speaker 2>to talk about what happened last night, a little over

667
00:37:08.199 --> 00:37:10.719
<v Speaker 2>twenty four hours ago in Washington, DC, and the impact

668
00:37:10.719 --> 00:37:14.199
<v Speaker 2>that it's having not only on the airline industry, but

669
00:37:14.639 --> 00:37:17.599
<v Speaker 2>first and foremost on the families who lost loved ones,

670
00:37:18.320 --> 00:37:21.079
<v Speaker 2>including families here in New England. We've been back back

671
00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:23.079
<v Speaker 2>on Night's side right after the nine o'clock news
