00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:06.320
<v Speaker 1>It's night side on radio.

2
00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:13.039
<v Speaker 2>The Coal, the Coal, the Kraken, a great National Hockey

3
00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:16.519
<v Speaker 2>League franchise, as I'm sure you remember from your childhood,

4
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:22.320
<v Speaker 2>right Nicole, Yeah, okay yeah. Oh. By the way, by

5
00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:24.679
<v Speaker 2>the way, did you see did you happen to notice

6
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:27.800
<v Speaker 2>who rang the opening bell at the stock market today?

7
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.399
<v Speaker 3>I believe that was President ELEC. Donald Trump.

8
00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:34.399
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to have him get near that bell ever. Again.

9
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:38.479
<v Speaker 1>I am staying out of it.

10
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:46.240
<v Speaker 2>There, that's all I got. I got it, I got it.

11
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:48.799
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking to myself, Oh, yeah, the one thing

12
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:50.640
<v Speaker 2>you can never predict is the stock bar.

13
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:51.520
<v Speaker 4>That is true.

14
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:56.200
<v Speaker 2>Oh and laundry and death and taxes, yes, yes, yes, well,

15
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:59.840
<v Speaker 2>death and taxes are things you kind of voice laundry

16
00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:06.519
<v Speaker 2>to the tax Yeah. Your CPA will tell you sometime,

17
00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:09.040
<v Speaker 2>probably like in middle February, what your tax is going

18
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:10.400
<v Speaker 2>to be in middle of April.

19
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:12.159
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and then you run away and don't want to

20
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:18.200
<v Speaker 3>pay tax. All right, my friend, I'll talk to you.

21
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:20.920
<v Speaker 2>The cracking, I don't even know what a crack it is.

22
00:01:20.920 --> 00:01:24.640
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a fish, of it's a squid. Oh great,

23
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:26.560
<v Speaker 2>a big squid. Oh gret.

24
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:29.159
<v Speaker 3>Okay, now I'm done by way.

25
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:32.359
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I know Nicole's gonna be able to put in

26
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:36.280
<v Speaker 2>for overtime now said only kidding. Nicole is my friend

27
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:39.079
<v Speaker 2>by pal. She has the same sense of humor I have,

28
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:41.959
<v Speaker 2>which is kind of scary. Actually good evening, everybody, welcome

29
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.159
<v Speaker 2>on into night Side. As we start a Thursday night here,

00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:48.280
<v Speaker 2>I will, as Nicole promised, take you all the way,

31
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:51.760
<v Speaker 2>not only through the Bruins game, but right up till midnight.

32
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:54.799
<v Speaker 2>I'll watch the last period of the second last half

33
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:58.760
<v Speaker 2>of the last period, probably after I do my program,

34
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:02.200
<v Speaker 2>which is on Facebook every night, well most every night,

35
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:06.319
<v Speaker 2>I do what we call Nightside postgame. So if you

36
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:09.639
<v Speaker 2>haven't had enough of Nightside by eleven fifty eight, jump

37
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.800
<v Speaker 2>on Facebook, go to a Nightside with Dan Ray and

38
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.240
<v Speaker 2>you'll be able to see me. I'll do a little

39
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:18.319
<v Speaker 2>review of how I thought the evening went. Might even

40
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:20.800
<v Speaker 2>mention your phone calls as a good phone call or

41
00:02:20.840 --> 00:02:23.879
<v Speaker 2>a bad phone call. Who knows. Anyway, we have watched

42
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:27.759
<v Speaker 2>to cover tonight. We're going to talk about crime and punishment,

43
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:31.560
<v Speaker 2>going to talk about empathy, a surprising amount of empathy

44
00:02:31.639 --> 00:02:36.199
<v Speaker 2>for the killer, the alleged killer of the healthcare CEO

45
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:39.680
<v Speaker 2>Brian Thompson that we'll be talking with a criminologist, doctor

46
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:45.039
<v Speaker 2>Scott Bond, like the former capital of Germany, Scott Bonn.

47
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:48.520
<v Speaker 2>He's going to talk not only about that case, but

48
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:52.000
<v Speaker 2>about some other high profile cases. And then we're going

49
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.560
<v Speaker 2>to talk about those mysterious drones that are appearing and

50
00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:57.800
<v Speaker 2>have been appearing since I think for about a month

51
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:01.599
<v Speaker 2>now over New Jersey and no one knows what they are.

52
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.039
<v Speaker 2>But before we get to that, we're going to get

53
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:05.879
<v Speaker 2>to news update. By the way, my name is Dan

54
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.879
<v Speaker 2>Ray in case we haven't established that already. Rob Brooks,

55
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:12.159
<v Speaker 2>the producer, great producer of this program, is back in

56
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:14.280
<v Speaker 2>the control room. He's ready to go, but no phone

57
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:18.439
<v Speaker 2>calls before nine o'clock. First up tonight, we're going to

58
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:21.479
<v Speaker 2>talk about a theme that we talk about here on Nightside,

59
00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:24.240
<v Speaker 2>and it's one that I think maybe is due for

60
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:29.159
<v Speaker 2>an adjustment. We're talking with Nathan Honeycut. He is with Fire,

61
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:32.919
<v Speaker 2>which is an organization founded by our great friend Harvey

62
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Silverglade co founded by Harvey silver Glade back on many

63
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:41.400
<v Speaker 2>years ago the foundation of individual rights and expression. And

64
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Nathan Honeycut says there's a new poll done by a

65
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:55.360
<v Speaker 2>Fire about how welcome a university faculty would welcome a

66
00:03:55.439 --> 00:04:00.639
<v Speaker 2>conservative professor. There aren't many conservative professors at college in

67
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.120
<v Speaker 2>universities today, which I think is part of the problem

68
00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:06.120
<v Speaker 2>we have in this world right now. Nathan Honeycutt, welcome

69
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:07.000
<v Speaker 2>to night, said, how are.

70
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:10.919
<v Speaker 5>You doing good? Thank you for having me Dan, Well, thanks.

71
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:13.919
<v Speaker 2>Very much, so you. The question you asked of the

72
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:18.959
<v Speaker 2>college professors and university professors is not what their political

73
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:24.920
<v Speaker 2>viewpoints are, it's how they perceived the other faculty would

74
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:30.120
<v Speaker 2>welcome or if a conservative faculty member would be welcomed

75
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.439
<v Speaker 2>into those little closed communities. And it's not very encouraging,

76
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:36.600
<v Speaker 2>to say the least, tell us about it.

77
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:42.319
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it was somewhat discouraging. So we asked faculty at

78
00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.639
<v Speaker 5>fifty five schools across the nation. Got a little over

79
00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:49.279
<v Speaker 5>six thousand responding how well a liberal or a conservative

80
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:51.680
<v Speaker 5>would fit into their department. And then we also asked

81
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:54.480
<v Speaker 5>a ton of questions trying to figure out like, well,

82
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:58.959
<v Speaker 5>how comfortable do you faculty member feel speaking on campus?

83
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:01.680
<v Speaker 5>Do you have to tone down your writing, do your

84
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.639
<v Speaker 5>self censor? Do you worry about your job or reputation?

85
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:08.759
<v Speaker 5>And the answer across the board for a decent number

86
00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:11.319
<v Speaker 5>of faculty was yes to all of the above. Yes,

87
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.480
<v Speaker 5>they're afraid of damaging the reputations of losing their jobs.

88
00:05:14.800 --> 00:05:18.040
<v Speaker 5>They self censor, and the base the base rate was

89
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.439
<v Speaker 5>about depending on the question, about twenty five percent or

90
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:24.319
<v Speaker 5>higher in our sample. But then when we've kind of

91
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:27.959
<v Speaker 5>narrowed in by ideology and looked at the conservative faculty,

92
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:30.800
<v Speaker 5>it was it was through the roof. Typically over half

93
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:33.240
<v Speaker 5>of the conservative faculty were saying that they were engaging

94
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.240
<v Speaker 5>in all of these all of these things, which are

95
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:38.839
<v Speaker 5>it's they're not they're not good to say the least,

96
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:42.519
<v Speaker 5>and it's it's not of benefit to research, to teaching,

97
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:44.639
<v Speaker 5>and to the general environment and universities.

98
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:48.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I always saw it and was taught and obviously,

99
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.959
<v Speaker 2>well I should say obviously people listen to my show

100
00:05:52.040 --> 00:05:54.519
<v Speaker 2>might not believe this, but not only did I graduate

101
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.600
<v Speaker 2>from a state college, but I also graduated from a

102
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.800
<v Speaker 2>very highly respected law school, Boston University Law Schools, So

103
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:03.120
<v Speaker 2>I know a little bit about what it's like to

104
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:08.399
<v Speaker 2>be on college campus, and clearly, uh, conservatives are are

105
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:13.639
<v Speaker 2>not particularly welcomed. Were was there was there any cadre

106
00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:18.839
<v Speaker 2>of uh, you know, admittedly liberal professors who said yeah,

107
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:22.560
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to see more diversity, you know, intellectual diversity,

108
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:27.199
<v Speaker 2>philosophical diversity in our in our faculty. There was there

109
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:31.000
<v Speaker 2>much support for that, obviously, they they have the majority

110
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:35.839
<v Speaker 2>on campus these days. What was there any engling? Are

111
00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:38.519
<v Speaker 2>they just very happy with how it is right now

112
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:41.000
<v Speaker 2>and that there's there's not much discussion in that pe

113
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:44.319
<v Speaker 2>tradition of ideas. Were not much disagreement within that p

114
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:45.879
<v Speaker 2>tradition of ideas.

115
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:50.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, there there's there is a small contingent of liberal faculty,

116
00:06:50.480 --> 00:06:53.439
<v Speaker 5>so it's not it's not uniform that all liberal faculty

117
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:58.800
<v Speaker 5>are against good point diversity or or having conservatives on campus. Anecdotally,

118
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:03.079
<v Speaker 5>on campus, I still teach as an adjunct professor about

119
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:05.839
<v Speaker 5>a classis semester and have a number of colleagues who

120
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:09.079
<v Speaker 5>are really concerned about this. But I think by and large,

121
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:12.439
<v Speaker 5>the majority of faculty they either aren't aware of the problem,

122
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:15.079
<v Speaker 5>or they are and they just don't care. It's a

123
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:18.160
<v Speaker 5>lot easier to have people that surround you and your department,

124
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:20.959
<v Speaker 5>and even outside of the universities too. This applies where

125
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:23.519
<v Speaker 5>they all agree with you. Then it's like your ideas

126
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:27.439
<v Speaker 5>aren't going to be challenged. Conversations are easier.

127
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:29.800
<v Speaker 2>But it's comfortable. Comfortable.

128
00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:32.160
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's easy, Yeah, comfortable.

129
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:36.480
<v Speaker 2>And that's not what Again, a college is supposed to

130
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:40.040
<v Speaker 2>be a patrit dish of competing ideas, particularly in the

131
00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:43.920
<v Speaker 2>social sciences. Obviously, Yeah, there can be some disagreements within

132
00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:48.240
<v Speaker 2>the sciences itself as well. If you take mathematics, two

133
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:50.240
<v Speaker 2>plus two is always going to be four. I mean

134
00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:53.560
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of math, there's the arguments kind of

135
00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:56.279
<v Speaker 2>closed on that. But when you get into political science

136
00:07:56.360 --> 00:08:00.240
<v Speaker 2>and psychology and sociology and world history, and you know,

137
00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:04.319
<v Speaker 2>all sorts of subjects this room from many viewpoints, I

138
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:06.639
<v Speaker 2>would be a great college professor. I'd be a great

139
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:10.560
<v Speaker 2>journalism professor. I've spent my entire career in journalism, both

140
00:08:10.600 --> 00:08:13.279
<v Speaker 2>as an on air television reporter, where no one knew

141
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:17.600
<v Speaker 2>what my political viewpoints were because I was assiduous in

142
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:20.199
<v Speaker 2>making sure that I was fear and I looked at

143
00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:23.240
<v Speaker 2>every through the through the lens of objectivity. As a

144
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:25.800
<v Speaker 2>talk show host, I can give more of my opinions,

145
00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:29.959
<v Speaker 2>some of this direction, some of that direction, but I

146
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:32.440
<v Speaker 2>would care less. I would want to hang with faculty,

147
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:34.919
<v Speaker 2>people who I disagreed with, people who I agreed with

148
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.120
<v Speaker 2>it would have nothing. I would want to just hang

149
00:08:37.159 --> 00:08:40.639
<v Speaker 2>with smart, bright people, and I'd like my ideas to

150
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:43.600
<v Speaker 2>be challenged, but I couldn't take the pay cut to

151
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:44.279
<v Speaker 2>do what they do.

152
00:08:44.759 --> 00:08:48.519
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I don't blame you there. And that's I mean,

153
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:51.639
<v Speaker 5>when so many people idealize what a university is there

154
00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:53.679
<v Speaker 5>when I was in grad school, or when I talk

155
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:56.600
<v Speaker 5>to kids who want to be go to grad school,

156
00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:58.879
<v Speaker 5>and so I do you imagine the university is this

157
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:04.159
<v Speaker 5>place where you got people when kind of tweed jackets and.

158
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:06.559
<v Speaker 2>With leather patches, with leather patches on the elbows. Don't

159
00:09:06.600 --> 00:09:07.320
<v Speaker 2>forget that.

160
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:12.360
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and they debate and discussed and uh, there's there's

161
00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:16.039
<v Speaker 5>a recent article by Roland Fryar, I think in Wall

162
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:18.639
<v Speaker 5>Street Journal where he talked about how when he was

163
00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:22.120
<v Speaker 5>undergrad he used to debate people and have really deep

164
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:25.159
<v Speaker 5>conversations in the common room of his dorm. And it's

165
00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:28.200
<v Speaker 5>it's just it doesn't happen anymore. It doesn't.

166
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:31.120
<v Speaker 2>When I debated Howard Zinn, I was in law school,

167
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:33.879
<v Speaker 2>and Zin was paid two thousand this is in the seventies,

168
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:38.240
<v Speaker 2>was paid two thousand dollars for his appearance. I was

169
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:42.159
<v Speaker 2>paid two hundred and of course he was a communist socialist.

170
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:44.399
<v Speaker 2>He was so far to the left, And in my

171
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:47.639
<v Speaker 2>concluding remarks, I suggested that since you know, he very

172
00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:50.159
<v Speaker 2>much believed equal work, equal to time, equal pay, and

173
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:53.799
<v Speaker 2>all of that, that we would blend our two honorarium

174
00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:56.639
<v Speaker 2>and split the difference to no one. Surprise, Howard Zin

175
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:01.919
<v Speaker 2>did not go on with that proposal. Oh yeah, Nathan,

176
00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:05.159
<v Speaker 2>I enjoyed. I enjoyed this conversation. Say hello to all

177

<v Speaker 2>my friends. That fire the foundation of individual rights and expression.

00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:11.080

188
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:47.080

<v Speaker 2>Nightside right after this.

00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:13.519
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan Ray, Mine from the window World

198
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:16.759
<v Speaker 1>Nightside Studios on WBZ News Radio.

199
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Want to welcome to Nightside doctor Sanda Dalton Smith. She's

200
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:27.399
<v Speaker 2>an author and board certified internal medicine doctor. Welcome, doctor

201
00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:28.840
<v Speaker 2>Dalton Smith. How are you tonight?

202
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:31.679
<v Speaker 3>I'm great, Thank you for having me.

203
00:11:32.440 --> 00:11:37.360
<v Speaker 2>So we're talking about your newest book, Sacred Rest. Recover

204
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.679
<v Speaker 2>your life, renew your energy, restore your sanity. Talk to

205
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:45.320
<v Speaker 2>Dalton Smith. It sounds so easy. Is it really that easy?

206
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:50.679
<v Speaker 3>Easy might not be the best word. It's doable.

207
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:55.320
<v Speaker 2>I like doable. Go ahead. I'm just having a little

208
00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:56.320
<v Speaker 2>fun with you. Go ahead.

209
00:11:57.720 --> 00:11:58.000
<v Speaker 5>Yes.

210
00:11:58.080 --> 00:11:59.799
<v Speaker 3>I think for a lot of people, rest is something

211
00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:02.679
<v Speaker 3>that we struggle. It's just because we don't really fully

212
00:12:02.960 --> 00:12:06.159
<v Speaker 3>understand what it is. We think rest and sleep are

213
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:09.320
<v Speaker 3>the same thing, and they are not. Sleep is a

214
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:12.279
<v Speaker 3>part of rest, but there are a lot more components

215
00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:12.639
<v Speaker 3>to it.

216
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:18.919
<v Speaker 2>So let's talk about it. The subtitle recover your life,

217
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:22.679
<v Speaker 2>renew your energy, restore your sanity. What can people do?

218
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:24.440
<v Speaker 2>There are a lot of people out there one who

219
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:28.240
<v Speaker 2>have trouble sleeping. I luckily am not in that category.

220
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:31.120
<v Speaker 2>If I'm awake fifteen seconds after I put my head

221
00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:34.799
<v Speaker 2>on on the pillow, I know I'm in trouble. But

222
00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:38.039
<v Speaker 2>not everyone is that lucky. My problem is I used

223
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:40.799
<v Speaker 2>to be able to sleep in easily, like on a

224
00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:44.559
<v Speaker 2>Saturday or Sunday, I would sleep in nine thirty ten

225
00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:47.759
<v Speaker 2>o'clock and feel great. But it's tough to do that

226
00:12:47.919 --> 00:12:50.759
<v Speaker 2>when you're on a schedule like I am, where you

227
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:53.600
<v Speaker 2>normally are getting up seven thirty or eight o'clock in

228
00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:56.000
<v Speaker 2>the morning, and that's considered late because you're going to

229
00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:59.360
<v Speaker 2>get the day going. Give us some advice as to

230
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:02.559
<v Speaker 2>what people is it. Is it smart? Let me ask

231
00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:05.759
<v Speaker 2>you that is it smart to occasionally try to load

232
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:08.120
<v Speaker 2>up on your sleep, catch up on your sleep? Just

233
00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:10.919
<v Speaker 2>turn the turn the alarm clock off on a Saturday

234
00:13:11.000 --> 00:13:13.559
<v Speaker 2>or Sunday and you're off day and just snooze the

235
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:15.159
<v Speaker 2>morning away or is that a bad idea.

236
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:20.480
<v Speaker 3>Yes, marathons don't typically work. That's what I call those

237
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:23.440
<v Speaker 3>where we're trying to get it all in at the

238
00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:26.679
<v Speaker 3>same time. Uh, it's more helpful for the body when

239
00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:30.159
<v Speaker 3>you do as you mentioned, you have some regularity to

240
00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:33.840
<v Speaker 3>your sleep schedule. Our body has a normal circadian rhythm,

241
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:37.120
<v Speaker 3>so it has patterns that it wants to follow. When

242
00:13:37.159 --> 00:13:40.039
<v Speaker 3>we break too far outside of those patterns, it creates

243
00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:43.240
<v Speaker 3>its own stress. Some people, if they try to sleep longer,

244
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.639
<v Speaker 3>we'll even get headaches or body aches and actually feel

245
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.600
<v Speaker 3>bad when they try to prolong those those periods of sleeping.

246
00:13:51.159 --> 00:13:53.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so we now know what we what I should

247
00:13:53.480 --> 00:13:58.120
<v Speaker 2>not be doing. What about the question of I'm hearing

248
00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.919
<v Speaker 2>now that as people get older they need less sleep.

249
00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:07.720
<v Speaker 2>What is this such a thing as the average person

250
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:10.200
<v Speaker 2>or the average American in terms of what their sleep

251
00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:11.639
<v Speaker 2>requirements should be.

252
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:15.559
<v Speaker 3>I don't believe so. I think you know, when we

253
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:18.240
<v Speaker 3>look at sleep, when we look at the number of

254
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:22.519
<v Speaker 3>hours if people sleep, they range really from some people

255
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:25.639
<v Speaker 3>say they need five hours and they're perfectly good. Some

256
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:29.240
<v Speaker 3>people say they need nine to ten. And really what

257
00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:33.759
<v Speaker 3>we're noticing is that when people get higher quality sleep.

258
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:38.279
<v Speaker 3>When they get higher levels and longer periods of non

259
00:14:38.399 --> 00:14:41.159
<v Speaker 3>rim deep sleep, the stage three and four non rim

260
00:14:41.200 --> 00:14:45.360
<v Speaker 3>deep sleep, that's when they feel restored. So some people

261
00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:47.960
<v Speaker 3>are able to go into deeper levels of sleep more

262
00:14:48.039 --> 00:14:51.440
<v Speaker 3>quickly and some take a longer time. And really most

263
00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:53.840
<v Speaker 3>of my research, and what you mentioned is in my

264
00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:59.600
<v Speaker 3>book Sacred Rest, is specifically looking at the RESTful things

265
00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:03.399
<v Speaker 3>that were storative processes that actually help us get into

266
00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:06.679
<v Speaker 3>deeper levels of sleep. My research is based around there

267
00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:10.240
<v Speaker 3>being seven different areas of rest that we need, seven

268
00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:14.279
<v Speaker 3>different ways our body needs to enter into restorative cycles.

269
00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:18.639
<v Speaker 3>And when we omit some of those, you can get

270
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:21.240
<v Speaker 3>eight hours of sleep even or nine or ten, and

271
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:25.240
<v Speaker 3>you'll still wake up exhausted because your body isn't rested

272
00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:27.519
<v Speaker 3>in one of these other seven areas.

273
00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:29.960
<v Speaker 2>When I talked about sleep to friends of mine, I

274
00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:31.879
<v Speaker 2>usual to say eight is great, nine is fine, and

275
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:36.759
<v Speaker 2>eleven is heaven. But we'll leave that. I want people

276
00:15:36.759 --> 00:15:39.000
<v Speaker 2>to buy your book, But are there tips in the

277
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:42.519
<v Speaker 2>book as how people can change their patterns in terms of,

278
00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:45.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, how soon they go to bed, maybe what

279
00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:47.879
<v Speaker 2>they when they eat or drink before they go to bed,

280
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:50.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, Obviously, I think most people are smart enough

281
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:53.360
<v Speaker 2>not to have a huge meal at nine o'clock at

282
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:56.000
<v Speaker 2>night and expect to get a RESTful night's sleep. But

283
00:15:56.559 --> 00:15:58.480
<v Speaker 2>are there some tips in the book that people would

284
00:15:58.519 --> 00:15:59.519
<v Speaker 2>benefit from.

285
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:00.679
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

286
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:04.240
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, particularly if you're that person who is sleep you know,

287
00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:07.080
<v Speaker 3>staying in bed eight nine, ten hours and waking up

288
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:10.559
<v Speaker 3>still exhausted. When someone's tired, The question that we tend

289
00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:13.320
<v Speaker 3>to have people start reflecting on is what kind of

290
00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:16.279
<v Speaker 3>tired are you? What is the area where you actually

291
00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:22.279
<v Speaker 3>have a rest deficit? Is it physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, social, sensory,

292
00:16:22.360 --> 00:16:26.159
<v Speaker 3>or creative? Those are the seven types of rest and.

293
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:27.759
<v Speaker 2>All of the above sea do you have all of

294
00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:29.120
<v Speaker 2>the above category there too?

295
00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:33.399
<v Speaker 3>Holy kitty, Some people do, yes, especially if you're someone

296
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:36.639
<v Speaker 3>who's on the verge of burnout. So those people who say,

297
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:39.759
<v Speaker 3>you know, I feel like I'm burned out, they tend

298
00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:43.200
<v Speaker 3>to have sleep or rest deficits, I should say, in

299
00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:46.519
<v Speaker 3>multiple of those areas. And unfortunately, you know a lot

300
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:48.320
<v Speaker 3>of people if they laid it down to go to

301
00:16:48.360 --> 00:16:50.320
<v Speaker 3>sleep at night and they can't shut their brain off,

302
00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:53.519
<v Speaker 3>well that mental rest deficit will actually keep them from

303
00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:54.480
<v Speaker 3>going into sleep.

304
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:57.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I keep going even when I'm sleeping. I

305
00:16:57.799 --> 00:16:59.639
<v Speaker 2>mean to be honest with you, That's the one thing

306
00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:03.320
<v Speaker 2>I My best RESTful night is when I don't have

307
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:05.640
<v Speaker 2>a dream. I don't think about anything. I just stay awake.

308
00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:11.240
<v Speaker 2>I stay asleep. What is that one or two tips?

309
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:12.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't want you to give the book away, but

310
00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:14.960
<v Speaker 2>one of two tips people can do who are listening

311
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:18.079
<v Speaker 2>right now that they can try before they go to

312
00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:20.720
<v Speaker 2>bed tonight, that might help them in the short term

313
00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:21.240
<v Speaker 2>at least.

314
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:25.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Absolutely, and I'm more than happy to. As I

315
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:28.720
<v Speaker 3>often say, we tend to give the secrets away quite

316
00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:32.480
<v Speaker 3>freely from within the book within our rest quiz. I'll

317
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:34.799
<v Speaker 3>share about that in a moment. But to two tips

318
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:37.039
<v Speaker 3>that we find, particularly if you're someone with a mental

319
00:17:37.079 --> 00:17:40.039
<v Speaker 3>rest deficit, you have busy brain. You're thinking all the

320
00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:43.160
<v Speaker 3>thoughts before going to bed. Something as simple as a

321
00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:46.400
<v Speaker 3>brain dump, So having a notepad where you're jotting down

322
00:17:46.440 --> 00:17:50.200
<v Speaker 3>whatever the ruminating thoughts are, because those ruminating thoughts will

323
00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:53.400
<v Speaker 3>have you'll think about them for long periods into the night,

324
00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:56.160
<v Speaker 3>and it actually keeps your brain from turning off. So

325
00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:58.799
<v Speaker 3>jotting it down sometime is a quick way for the

326
00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:01.720
<v Speaker 3>brain to release it. Another thing is if you struggle

327
00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:05.720
<v Speaker 3>with that is using something like white noise or background

328
00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:10.000
<v Speaker 3>rhythmic noises because the brain will attach to following that

329
00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:13.359
<v Speaker 3>particular the pattern and it will help you to kind

330
00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:17.119
<v Speaker 3>of release some other thoughts. Cooler temperatures. Most people sleep

331
00:18:17.160 --> 00:18:19.839
<v Speaker 3>better when the room is cool rather than being overheated.

332
00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:23.039
<v Speaker 3>And then making sure that you do that. You are

333
00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:26.480
<v Speaker 3>aware of blue light and how your body responds to it.

334
00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:31.599
<v Speaker 3>A simple tip. If your clock sitting at the bedside

335
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:34.920
<v Speaker 3>is pointing towards you and it has a bright red

336
00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:38.160
<v Speaker 3>or blue light, turn the clock away from you.

337
00:18:38.359 --> 00:18:38.640
<v Speaker 2>Yes.

338
00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:41.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so if you need to say it, you can

339
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:44.640
<v Speaker 3>go look, but don't have it shining in your face.

340
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:47.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm with you on that one. Look, I could do

341
00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:50.200
<v Speaker 2>a lot more with you and maybe what we could

342
00:18:50.240 --> 00:18:53.960
<v Speaker 2>do some night if it's okay with you, doctor Dalton Smith,

343
00:18:53.960 --> 00:18:56.400
<v Speaker 2>I could make it up to you. These interviews are great,

344
00:18:56.440 --> 00:18:58.880
<v Speaker 2>but we don't incorporate callers. I could bring it back.

345
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:01.839
<v Speaker 2>We could do an hour some night on this whole

346
00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:05.759
<v Speaker 2>question and take take questions from listeners and calls from listeners.

347
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:07.920
<v Speaker 2>If you'll be up for that one, my producer, get

348
00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:11.039
<v Speaker 2>in touch with your PR person Corey Newman.

349
00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:13.200
<v Speaker 3>Okay, sounds good.

350
00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:18.079
<v Speaker 2>Thanks very much, Doctor Sunda Dalton Smith the book Sacred

351
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:22.440
<v Speaker 2>rest Recover your life, renew your energy, and restore your sanity.

352
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:28.119
<v Speaker 2>I love alliteration rest, recover, renew, restore. I like that.

353
00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:31.920
<v Speaker 5>Thank you so much, doctor, Thank you.

354
00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:34.240
<v Speaker 2>You're welcome. When we get back, go and talk a

355
00:19:34.240 --> 00:19:38.279
<v Speaker 2>little football. Bill Belichick. What the heck is he doing

356
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:42.039
<v Speaker 2>heading to North Carolina to become a tar Heel boy?

357
00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:45.319
<v Speaker 2>That's something I didn't expect. We'll talk with Kyle Bray,

358
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:49.119
<v Speaker 2>WBZ news radio reporter and try to figure it out

359
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:52.319
<v Speaker 2>why coach Bill is heading south. Back on night Side

360
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:55.799
<v Speaker 2>right after the news at the little bit after eight thirty.

361
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:57.319
<v Speaker 2>But I thought she was a really good guest. At

362
00:19:57.319 --> 00:19:58.720
<v Speaker 2>eight thirty two, here comes the.

363
00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:04.559
<v Speaker 1>News night Side with Dan Ray on w BOST's news Radio.

364
00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:10.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, the big news story sports story today should be

365
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:12.640
<v Speaker 2>the Red Sox signing the picture from the White Sox,

366
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:16.720
<v Speaker 2>but it really wasn't Bill Belichick heading to North Carolina

367
00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:19.319
<v Speaker 2>to coach the tar Heels. Kyle Bray's been working on

368
00:20:19.359 --> 00:20:22.640
<v Speaker 2>this story today. Kyle, I can't figure this one out

369
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:28.119
<v Speaker 2>from a What's I mean? Obviously, I guess Bill Belichick's

370
00:20:28.160 --> 00:20:30.079
<v Speaker 2>doing what he wants to do. Kyle, what do you

371
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:31.480
<v Speaker 2>think is in his head? Here?

372
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:34.519
<v Speaker 4>Well, hey, Dan, thanks for having me on.

373
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:36.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah no, I thank you so much for you know,

374
00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:37.559
<v Speaker 2>you were working late.

375
00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:40.640
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, well, I mean I was just as puzzled

376
00:20:40.640 --> 00:20:42.559
<v Speaker 4>as you were when I first heard this, because you know,

377
00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:46.039
<v Speaker 4>I mean, you're looking at the second most winningest coach

378
00:20:46.079 --> 00:20:49.119
<v Speaker 4>in NFL history, you know, whether you want to debate

379
00:20:49.160 --> 00:20:51.839
<v Speaker 4>Schula or not, probably the greatest coach of all time,

380
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:53.839
<v Speaker 4>and he's saying, you know what, I'm gonna I'm gonna

381
00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:55.720
<v Speaker 4>pack my bags and I'm gonna go back to school. No,

382
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:58.680
<v Speaker 4>it's it's very perplexing. But there there are definitely a

383
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:01.480
<v Speaker 4>lot of things that makes sense to me about this move,

384
00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:02.680
<v Speaker 4>even if you know it.

385
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:05.920
<v Speaker 2>It's okay, give me a couple because obviously there's fifty

386
00:21:05.960 --> 00:21:08.880
<v Speaker 2>million things because I believe he signed a five years

387
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:13.000
<v Speaker 2>for ten MILLI a year. Yeah uh. And obviously he

388
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:19.400
<v Speaker 2>could probably walk away at any point because if some

389
00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:26.279
<v Speaker 2>really good, underperforming NFL team came to knocking, he could

390
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:29.400
<v Speaker 2>walk away.

391
00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:32.759
<v Speaker 4>But you know what, the biggest difference I think that

392
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:35.640
<v Speaker 4>you'll see versus you know, him taking an NFL job

393
00:21:35.720 --> 00:21:39.039
<v Speaker 4>and you know, going to the college game, is that

394
00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:41.519
<v Speaker 4>as a as a college coach, you pretty much have

395
00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:44.400
<v Speaker 4>complete control. I mean you are in charge of, you know,

396
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:46.519
<v Speaker 4>what schemes your team's gonna run. You're in charge of

397
00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:49.319
<v Speaker 4>what players you're bringing in. I mean, obviously the landscape

398
00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:52.039
<v Speaker 4>has drastically changed in recent years. You know now that

399
00:21:52.079 --> 00:21:55.160
<v Speaker 4>you're allowed to pay athletes with these name image and

400
00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:58.000
<v Speaker 4>likekness deals. But he's not gonna have to worry about

401
00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:01.039
<v Speaker 4>an overbearing owner sort of controlling everything, because I mean

402
00:22:01.079 --> 00:22:03.240
<v Speaker 4>that that was he kind of he had the reins

403
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:05.319
<v Speaker 4>completely during his time in New England. You know, he

404
00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:07.279
<v Speaker 4>was in charge of all the plays they put out,

405
00:22:07.319 --> 00:22:08.680
<v Speaker 4>he was in charge of who they brought in. And

406
00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:10.759
<v Speaker 4>you know, in the later years of his tenure here,

407
00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:13.119
<v Speaker 4>you know, the you know, ownership seemed like it was

408
00:22:13.160 --> 00:22:15.279
<v Speaker 4>really starting to sink its teeth into what he was doing.

409
00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:17.519
<v Speaker 4>And and I think that bothered him because I know

410
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:20.559
<v Speaker 4>that he was linked with the Jacksonville job in the NFL,

411
00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:24.039
<v Speaker 4>but people were talking about how they would have to

412
00:22:24.039 --> 00:22:25.519
<v Speaker 4>get rid of their GM if they wanted to bring

413
00:22:25.559 --> 00:22:26.799
<v Speaker 4>him in. And that was the same when he was

414
00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:28.599
<v Speaker 4>going for the job in Atlanta and I think now

415
00:22:28.640 --> 00:22:31.039
<v Speaker 4>that you know he's there, he doesn't really have anyone

416
00:22:31.119 --> 00:22:33.039
<v Speaker 4>kind of overseeing him. It's the you know, the buck

417
00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:35.119
<v Speaker 4>stops at him. He gets to make all those decisions.

418
00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:37.599
<v Speaker 4>I think that's that's huge for him.

419
00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:42.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's gonna be interesting. I know one of his

420
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:45.160
<v Speaker 2>former assistant coaches pretty well, and I have some insight

421
00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:47.720
<v Speaker 2>into what went on down in Atlanta. I think he

422
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:51.000
<v Speaker 2>was I think he thought that deal was done and

423
00:22:51.359 --> 00:22:53.519
<v Speaker 2>I had that from a what I would consider to

424
00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:56.519
<v Speaker 2>be a pretty good source, and it fell apart, not

425
00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:00.279
<v Speaker 2>on his end, but on the Atlanta end. So maybe

426
00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:03.720
<v Speaker 2>he just got tired of the gamesmanship within the NFL.

427
00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:06.799
<v Speaker 2>But I'll tell you he doesn't have He might be

428
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:09.720
<v Speaker 2>the boss of the football program down there, but they

429
00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:15.759
<v Speaker 2>have something that most major colleges, the Alumni Association. If

430
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:20.039
<v Speaker 2>he wins, they will build a shrine to him. But

431
00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:22.240
<v Speaker 2>if he doesn't win after a couple of years, and

432
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:25.720
<v Speaker 2>UNC has not been a powerhouse football program, although obviously

433
00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:31.200
<v Speaker 2>Drake May the Patriots quarterback, came out of UNC. Yeah.

434
00:23:31.279 --> 00:23:33.640
<v Speaker 4>No, definitely. I mean under Mac Brown they had some

435
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:35.599
<v Speaker 4>they had some moments. I mean this year they went

436
00:23:35.680 --> 00:23:37.039
<v Speaker 4>six and six. They're going to be playing in the

437
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:40.200
<v Speaker 4>Fenway Bowl actually, which is pretty exciting. You know, maybe

438
00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:42.319
<v Speaker 4>Belichick's not supposed to coach that game, but he might

439
00:23:42.359 --> 00:23:43.079
<v Speaker 4>be in attendance.

440
00:23:43.680 --> 00:23:46.119
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I definitely think he would want to be there

441
00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:49.279
<v Speaker 2>to watch because some of those guys on the team,

442
00:23:49.279 --> 00:23:52.799
<v Speaker 2>He's not going to turn that that roster over completely.

443
00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:55.799
<v Speaker 2>They'll be changes, graduating seniors and maybe some players will

444
00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:59.039
<v Speaker 2>decide to get in the portal and leave. But who

445
00:23:59.200 --> 00:24:01.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's just no, Yeah, what do you think?

446
00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:03.319
<v Speaker 2>What do you think the key? What do you think

447
00:24:03.319 --> 00:24:05.759
<v Speaker 2>the key was? I mean, was it it was? It

448
00:24:05.799 --> 00:24:07.319
<v Speaker 2>could have been the money because he could have gotten

449
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:08.640
<v Speaker 2>just as much money in the NFL.

450
00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:12.400
<v Speaker 4>You I think a lot of it has to do

451
00:24:12.440 --> 00:24:13.920
<v Speaker 4>with that. And then also, I mean in his prens

452
00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:15.920
<v Speaker 4>conference today, he just said, you know, he just loves

453
00:24:15.960 --> 00:24:17.839
<v Speaker 4>to coach. I think that, you know, I mean, he

454
00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:20.200
<v Speaker 4>was he was pretty good on some of the media circuits.

455
00:24:19.799 --> 00:24:20.240
<v Speaker 1>He was doing.

456
00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:22.559
<v Speaker 4>But I mean, we know from anything, you know, Bill

457
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:25.640
<v Speaker 4>Belichick and the media are not exactly you know, they

458
00:24:25.759 --> 00:24:28.519
<v Speaker 4>He has had his spats, but you know, I think

459
00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:29.920
<v Speaker 4>he just really wanted to get on the field, and

460
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:32.240
<v Speaker 4>I think, you know, NFL teams didn't want to give

461
00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:34.640
<v Speaker 4>him that control. And I think he he looked at

462
00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:36.400
<v Speaker 4>this opportunity, as you know, and I get to be

463
00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:37.960
<v Speaker 4>get to be on a field, and I get to

464
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:40.039
<v Speaker 4>build a build a program from the ground up. I

465
00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:43.440
<v Speaker 4>mean the you mentioned, you know, the the he'll want

466
00:24:43.480 --> 00:24:45.599
<v Speaker 4>to see those players. I mean, this is a tremendous

467
00:24:45.640 --> 00:24:48.559
<v Speaker 4>opportunity for any players that are that are on un see.

468
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:51.079
<v Speaker 4>I mean you in the college football landscape right now,

469
00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:53.880
<v Speaker 4>you see so many people, you know, kids transferring because

470
00:24:53.880 --> 00:24:56.559
<v Speaker 4>they're not getting enough playing time. You know they're transferring

471
00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:58.279
<v Speaker 4>or you know, sitting out seasons because they're not getting

472
00:24:58.400 --> 00:25:01.400
<v Speaker 4>enough money. I mean that this is now, like I

473
00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:03.319
<v Speaker 4>would argue if you want to go to if you're

474
00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:05.240
<v Speaker 4>a start player that thinks that they're a star and

475
00:25:05.279 --> 00:25:07.359
<v Speaker 4>wants to go to the NFL, I mean, this would

476
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:09.240
<v Speaker 4>be the best place to do it. I mean there's

477
00:25:09.279 --> 00:25:12.200
<v Speaker 4>really no one else better to learn from than Bill Belichick.

478
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:14.599
<v Speaker 4>I mean it's only gonna time. Only time will really

479
00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:17.640
<v Speaker 4>tell the results on if he, you know, can bring

480
00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:20.960
<v Speaker 4>his you know, mindset to the college game and you know,

481
00:25:21.039 --> 00:25:23.720
<v Speaker 4>if he can have success in that conference. But you know,

482
00:25:23.799 --> 00:25:26.599
<v Speaker 4>I was when I was working today. I saw comments

483
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:29.000
<v Speaker 4>from a former Patriot player, Logan Ryan. He was talking

484
00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:31.359
<v Speaker 4>on CBS Sports and he was basically like, if you're

485
00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:34.640
<v Speaker 4>a if you're a transfer player, like and you you

486
00:25:34.680 --> 00:25:36.359
<v Speaker 4>really want to make that push to go pro, like,

487
00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:38.640
<v Speaker 4>why would you not consider UNC? I mean, to get

488
00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:41.240
<v Speaker 4>a chance to learn from maybe the greatest coach that's

489
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:43.400
<v Speaker 4>ever coached the game. I mean that's I mean, that

490
00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:44.359
<v Speaker 4>seems like a no brainer.

491
00:25:46.039 --> 00:25:49.440
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's this is another factor and I'd love to

492
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:51.880
<v Speaker 2>get your reaction to it. I'm a sports guy. I

493
00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:54.519
<v Speaker 2>know you're a sports guy, and not that either of us,

494
00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:57.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, make our living covering sports. You cover a

495
00:25:57.720 --> 00:26:02.400
<v Speaker 2>lot of different news stories. But Belichick's success at New

496
00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:06.279
<v Speaker 2>England was over a period of twenty years, and he

497
00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:09.440
<v Speaker 2>had a pretty good quarterback for most of those years,

498
00:26:10.440 --> 00:26:13.920
<v Speaker 2>and when the quarterback left, the team sort of went away.

499
00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:17.839
<v Speaker 2>So you can have you can draft a quarterback like

500
00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:20.960
<v Speaker 2>Drake May who's twenty two or twenty three years old,

501
00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:24.559
<v Speaker 2>and you can say, okay, ten years minimum, maybe fifteen.

502
00:26:25.400 --> 00:26:30.759
<v Speaker 2>Anybody who he brings into UNCEE three years, four years max.

503
00:26:31.240 --> 00:26:35.440
<v Speaker 2>That's a different sort of situation that he's now going

504
00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:39.079
<v Speaker 2>to find himself in and I wonder how difficult that

505
00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:41.000
<v Speaker 2>will make it. You know, you start to get somebody

506
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:43.880
<v Speaker 2>good and all of a sudden they're going to boom,

507
00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:47.200
<v Speaker 2>then they go, yeah, they're not there long. It's what

508
00:26:47.240 --> 00:26:49.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying. And I wonder if he'll have the patience

509
00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:52.920
<v Speaker 2>because I don't think Belichick is someone who's imbued with

510
00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:54.799
<v Speaker 2>a lot of patience. I don't know him at all,

511
00:26:54.839 --> 00:26:57.279
<v Speaker 2>but I don't think patience is probably his strong suit.

512
00:26:59.279 --> 00:27:02.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, no, I could certainly see that. I mean, you

513
00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:04.319
<v Speaker 4>bring up a good point where I mean, and especially

514
00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:06.960
<v Speaker 4>if he's being successful, he'll probably only have three years

515
00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:08.680
<v Speaker 4>because some of those kids will probably want to declare

516
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:10.920
<v Speaker 4>for the draft. And he talked a little bit in

517
00:27:10.960 --> 00:27:14.200
<v Speaker 4>his press conference today about how, you know, developing players

518
00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:16.519
<v Speaker 4>is really important to him. He mentioned, you know, Brady

519
00:27:16.640 --> 00:27:19.559
<v Speaker 4>was a fourth stringer his first year. You know, Gronk Edelman,

520
00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:21.839
<v Speaker 4>you know those guys, they went through a lot of

521
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:24.039
<v Speaker 4>development in their time. But you know, I mean, you're right,

522
00:27:24.119 --> 00:27:27.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, getting to work with these work these kids

523
00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:29.079
<v Speaker 4>for such a short period of time, will that payoff?

524
00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:31.240
<v Speaker 4>And I mean, you look at some of the issues

525
00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:33.880
<v Speaker 4>that they had that the Pats had in his final season.

526
00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:38.079
<v Speaker 4>You know, offensively, they weren't strong and the personnel that

527
00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:41.279
<v Speaker 4>they were bringing in weren't up to the caliber that

528
00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:46.160
<v Speaker 4>you would expect the past Patriots teams. And in college

529
00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:48.640
<v Speaker 4>recruiting is so much more important than it really is

530
00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:50.720
<v Speaker 4>in the NFL because you have such a wide pool,

531
00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:53.519
<v Speaker 4>and you know with now with nil deals. I mean,

532
00:27:53.559 --> 00:27:57.599
<v Speaker 4>I know that reportedly UNC is increasing their nil pool

533
00:27:57.640 --> 00:28:00.559
<v Speaker 4>to help him sort of entice more players there. But

534
00:28:01.400 --> 00:28:03.079
<v Speaker 4>I mean, at the end of the day, like it's

535
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:07.279
<v Speaker 4>is he gonna be able to do the recruiting that's required.

536
00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:09.119
<v Speaker 4>I mean, because I mean, obviously he has a pretty

537
00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:10.759
<v Speaker 4>good pitch. You know, Hey, I'm Bill Belichick. I'm the

538
00:28:10.759 --> 00:28:12.799
<v Speaker 4>greatest coach of all time. Come play for me. But

539
00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:15.559
<v Speaker 4>you know that there are coaches that have to put

540
00:28:15.559 --> 00:28:17.839
<v Speaker 4>it a lot, a lot of legwork to get these

541
00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:20.200
<v Speaker 4>deals done. And sometimes, you know, you put in all

542
00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:22.359
<v Speaker 4>this work, you've you've got the money on the table,

543
00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:24.200
<v Speaker 4>you got them all excited, and then they just flip

544
00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:26.480
<v Speaker 4>at the last second. And I can't imagine what what

545
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:28.839
<v Speaker 4>we'll be going through Bill Belichick's head the first time

546
00:28:28.839 --> 00:28:30.960
<v Speaker 4>he has a recruit flip on him at the signing day.

547
00:28:31.559 --> 00:28:35.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and also you gotta you have to go most

548
00:28:35.079 --> 00:28:37.920
<v Speaker 2>of these college coaches, maybe Belichick would be the exception,

549
00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:41.240
<v Speaker 2>but you have to go to the to the home

550
00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:44.839
<v Speaker 2>of the kid. You gotta get on on a puddle

551
00:28:44.880 --> 00:28:47.960
<v Speaker 2>jumper maybe, and go to wherever the talented players are

552
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:50.400
<v Speaker 2>and you got to meet mom and dad, and you

553
00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:52.200
<v Speaker 2>got to schmooze a little bit. And I'm not sure

554
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:55.359
<v Speaker 2>he's the schmoozing type, but we'll see.

555
00:28:55.400 --> 00:28:57.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, No, he's He's He's definitely the type of guy

556
00:28:57.960 --> 00:28:59.480
<v Speaker 4>that kind of always gets what he wants, if at

557
00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:01.519
<v Speaker 4>least for most of his career. So it'll be interesting

558
00:29:01.519 --> 00:29:03.000
<v Speaker 4>to see what happens when he's got to go into

559
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:04.400
<v Speaker 4>those you know, he's got to go to these high

560
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:06.160
<v Speaker 4>school games, got to go to these living rooms and

561
00:29:06.200 --> 00:29:08.279
<v Speaker 4>meet with you know, the whole exten family and and

562
00:29:08.279 --> 00:29:10.640
<v Speaker 4>and give a you know, a you know, sweet talk

563
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:12.200
<v Speaker 4>them and whatnot. I'd love to see. I'd love to

564
00:29:12.200 --> 00:29:13.720
<v Speaker 4>be a fly on the wall and see that happen.

565
00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I have a buddy of mine who played basketball

566
00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:19.160
<v Speaker 2>at BC when Bob Coosey was a coach, and he

567
00:29:19.200 --> 00:29:21.480
<v Speaker 2>told me it was just amazing, you know, Bob Cousy

568
00:29:21.559 --> 00:29:24.319
<v Speaker 2>became the coach at BC right after his NBA career

569
00:29:24.359 --> 00:29:27.920
<v Speaker 2>with the Celtics finished. And uh, he said, Bob Coosey

570
00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:30.000
<v Speaker 2>walks into our house and he's asking me to play

571
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:32.200
<v Speaker 2>on his college But it was like done deals just

572
00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:35.559
<v Speaker 2>by walking to the door. But I'm not sure that

573
00:29:35.559 --> 00:29:39.480
<v Speaker 2>that the same sort of magic is going to occur

574
00:29:39.599 --> 00:29:42.839
<v Speaker 2>when when Wody walks in the door. I don't know.

575
00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:46.440
<v Speaker 2>We'll see what happens. Gole. I enjoyed the conversation. I

576
00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:47.400
<v Speaker 2>really appreciate it.

577
00:29:47.440 --> 00:29:49.200
<v Speaker 4>Of course, thank you for having back.

580
00:29:58.480 --> 00:30:01.640

581
00:30:01.720 --> 00:30:03.720
<v Speaker 2>going to go to weather next. Where do we stand

582
00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:06.240
<v Speaker 2>with the drought. We're gonna be talking with an ACU

583
00:30:06.279 --> 00:30:10.480
<v Speaker 2>weather meteorologist. I'm pretty sure. Uh, we'll get to that

584
00:30:10.799 --> 00:30:13.119
<v Speaker 2>right after this break here on Nightside, And we got

585
00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:16.039
<v Speaker 2>lots of questions about not only the weather in the past,

586
00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:19.039
<v Speaker 2>but what's coming up, particularly for the rest of the month.

587
00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:19.640
<v Speaker 2>Coming back on.

588

00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:33.160
<v Speaker 2>All right, we a very pleased to be joined again

591
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:35.880
<v Speaker 2>by Matt Benz. Hey, Matt, how are you tonight? Hey

592
00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:38.440
<v Speaker 2>doing well? How are you doing? I'm doing great, a

593
00:30:38.480 --> 00:30:41.480
<v Speaker 2>little bit better after this rain. Look, I'm trying to

594
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:44.799
<v Speaker 2>figure this out. We had a drought that a lot

595
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:47.119
<v Speaker 2>of rain. Where do we stand with the drought? Are

596
00:30:47.119 --> 00:30:49.640
<v Speaker 2>we still in the drought? We out of the drought, were.

597
00:30:49.519 --> 00:30:52.079
<v Speaker 6>Close to the We're still We're still in the drought.

598
00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:56.200
<v Speaker 6>So a couple yeah, I know, we keep that word going.

599
00:30:56.240 --> 00:30:57.839
<v Speaker 6>But hey, there's a couple of different ways you can

600
00:30:57.880 --> 00:30:59.880
<v Speaker 6>look at it. So for the year, we're actually a

601
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:03.599
<v Speaker 6>bob average in the precipitation department. He thinks, Okay, no drought. Yes,

602
00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:07.279
<v Speaker 6>that's good, that's what we want to hear. But since September,

603
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:10.000
<v Speaker 6>September through November, that's a time period right there, we

604
00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:13.759
<v Speaker 6>accumulated a drought deficit and rainfall of over five and

605
00:31:13.799 --> 00:31:16.480
<v Speaker 6>a half inches. So even though we saw all this rain,

606
00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:18.759
<v Speaker 6>you know, in the last couple of days, that now

607
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:21.599
<v Speaker 6>puts us about one point nine inches above average per December,

608
00:31:21.640 --> 00:31:24.240
<v Speaker 6>we still have about another four you know, three four

609
00:31:24.279 --> 00:31:26.920
<v Speaker 6>inches a go to really say, hey, we've recovered, because

610
00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:29.240
<v Speaker 6>we kind of went missing there for a while in

611
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:31.359
<v Speaker 6>the fall months and earlier in November.

612
00:31:32.119 --> 00:31:36.000
<v Speaker 2>So so you kind of look at like the year

613
00:31:36.039 --> 00:31:38.119
<v Speaker 2>to date sort of thing, you know, almost got to

614
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:40.720
<v Speaker 2>do it. Obviously, we were in a drought in October

615
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:47.000
<v Speaker 2>and started in September, but we've now had more precipitation

616
00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:50.920
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty four than we had in twenty twenty three.

617
00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:54.079
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, since it would be about correct. And yeah, it

618
00:31:54.200 --> 00:31:55.799
<v Speaker 6>kind of weird that we're in the severe drought, but

619
00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:58.519
<v Speaker 6>sometimes that's kind of how drought goes. It goes by,

620
00:31:58.599 --> 00:32:00.119
<v Speaker 6>So it's not like it's not like the way it's

621
00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:00.880
<v Speaker 6>been going slightly.

622
00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:03.119
<v Speaker 2>But it's what I'm saying is you got to think

623
00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:05.200
<v Speaker 2>of it differently. It's not like a baseball season. A

624
00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:07.440
<v Speaker 2>win in April is just as good as a win

625
00:32:07.480 --> 00:32:09.440
<v Speaker 2>in August. You know, you want to get the number

626
00:32:09.440 --> 00:32:11.559
<v Speaker 2>of rights to get the play. That's not quite it's

627
00:32:11.599 --> 00:32:15.079
<v Speaker 2>not linear. So how much more rain would we need

628
00:32:15.799 --> 00:32:18.160
<v Speaker 2>because it's going to rain next week to get out

629
00:32:18.200 --> 00:32:18.920
<v Speaker 2>of the drought here.

630
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:21.920
<v Speaker 6>I think what you'll see is, especially after this wet

631
00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:23.920
<v Speaker 6>start to the month, you're gonna see a dent in.

632
00:32:24.319 --> 00:32:26.200
<v Speaker 6>You know, when the drought monitor comes out right now,

633
00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:29.200
<v Speaker 6>we're in that extreme drought category. I wouldn't be surprised

634
00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:32.079
<v Speaker 6>that that usually updates every Thursday, and unfortunately we just

635
00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:35.759
<v Speaker 6>kind of caught the tail end of this latest wet cycle,

636
00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:37.599
<v Speaker 6>so to say. But I have a feeling what you're

637
00:32:37.640 --> 00:32:40.039
<v Speaker 6>gonna see is we're gonna kind of step down gradually.

638
00:32:40.079 --> 00:32:42.519
<v Speaker 6>So we're in the extreme danger right now. Extreme drought

639
00:32:42.599 --> 00:32:45.000
<v Speaker 6>right now probably go to the severe to moderate maybe,

640
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:46.720
<v Speaker 6>you know, by next week, and especially if we get

641
00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:49.359
<v Speaker 6>the rain, I think you'll quickly see things improving here

642
00:32:49.400 --> 00:32:51.920
<v Speaker 6>across the area. But just because it was so dry

643
00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:54.079
<v Speaker 6>in the fall months, that really set us on the

644
00:32:54.079 --> 00:32:55.519
<v Speaker 6>stage where where we're at right now.

645
00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I know this is not your department, but are

646
00:32:58.920 --> 00:33:02.720
<v Speaker 2>there any brush fire is still burning in Massachusetts? I

647
00:33:02.799 --> 00:33:05.160
<v Speaker 2>know they have some problems out in California, but I

648
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:09.799
<v Speaker 2>assume that our chance of brush fire has has diminished

649
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:10.680
<v Speaker 2>remarkably over.

650
00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:12.839
<v Speaker 6>The last few Yeah, especially with the especially with the

651
00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:14.799
<v Speaker 6>rain that we've had. Now you've gotten you know, the

652
00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:17.440
<v Speaker 6>at least a cut top soil top. They call it

653
00:33:17.519 --> 00:33:20.000
<v Speaker 6>the duff, the all the leaf matter and stuff. Now

654
00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:22.079
<v Speaker 6>that that's all really good and soap. That fire danger

655
00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:24.559
<v Speaker 6>has gone down. Of course, if you get any long

656
00:33:24.640 --> 00:33:27.160
<v Speaker 6>term drying trend for a couple of weeks, that could return,

657
00:33:27.200 --> 00:33:29.559
<v Speaker 6>but at least for now, that fire danger has come

658
00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:30.279
<v Speaker 6>down quite a bit.

659
00:33:31.440 --> 00:33:34.240
<v Speaker 2>And then the other question, of course, that everyone wants

660
00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:36.240
<v Speaker 2>me to ask you, is we're going to have any

661
00:33:36.240 --> 00:33:37.359
<v Speaker 2>snow by Christmas.

662
00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:40.240
<v Speaker 6>There's a big question. And here's what I can tell

663
00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:42.799
<v Speaker 6>you right now. Right now, ACI Weather has some confidence

664
00:33:42.799 --> 00:33:45.039
<v Speaker 6>that we're going to get another real cold shot of

665
00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:47.599
<v Speaker 6>air here right before Christmas. And the big question is

666
00:33:47.599 --> 00:33:49.880
<v Speaker 6>is that going to include snow. So we're gonna go

667
00:33:49.920 --> 00:33:51.880
<v Speaker 6>through this weekend, it's gonna be chilly, we're gonna get

668
00:33:51.920 --> 00:33:54.039
<v Speaker 6>into next week and it's gonna kind of warm up again,

669
00:33:54.359 --> 00:33:56.039
<v Speaker 6>and you're kind of gonna think, well, we're not going

670
00:33:56.079 --> 00:33:58.279
<v Speaker 6>to get back to that cold, winter like weather again.

671
00:33:58.519 --> 00:34:00.599
<v Speaker 6>But it does look like winter will turn at least

672
00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:03.200
<v Speaker 6>with regards to cold air here probably after the twenty

673
00:34:03.240 --> 00:34:05.920
<v Speaker 6>first and going towards Christmas. The big question is can

674
00:34:05.960 --> 00:34:08.320
<v Speaker 6>we get some sort of moisture with that colder air,

675
00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:10.440
<v Speaker 6>And that's kind of hard to say right now. Right now,

676
00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:13.480
<v Speaker 6>our forecast looks like a low percent chance for a

677
00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:17.039
<v Speaker 6>light Christmas here in Boston, but a little bit shift

678
00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:18.239
<v Speaker 6>in the pattern could change that.

679
00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:21.039
<v Speaker 2>What's the long term for the balance of the winter.

680
00:34:21.079 --> 00:34:24.199
<v Speaker 2>I read somewhere today that we are expecting, well, they

681
00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:26.599
<v Speaker 2>didn't have much snow last winter, but that we are

682
00:34:26.639 --> 00:34:29.039
<v Speaker 2>expecting more snow at least than last winter.

683
00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:32.199
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, we are expecting more snow than last winter, but

684
00:34:32.239 --> 00:34:35.320
<v Speaker 6>still below the historical average of what we'd expect for

685
00:34:35.440 --> 00:34:38.960
<v Speaker 6>a winter period. We're kind of on a fine line.

686
00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:40.960
<v Speaker 6>I think northern New England, especially once you get into

687
00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:44.440
<v Speaker 6>the interior Vermont, New Hampshire up into northern Maine, those

688
00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:46.880
<v Speaker 6>areas could overperform this winter. But we're going to be

689
00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:49.000
<v Speaker 6>right on that boundary where we're going to get into

690
00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:51.320
<v Speaker 6>these sloppy sides of these storms. We're probably going to

691
00:34:51.400 --> 00:34:54.480
<v Speaker 6>get more rain and then some snow, but overall we

692
00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:56.920
<v Speaker 6>expect the balance of snow to be higher than last year,

693
00:34:57.079 --> 00:34:59.679
<v Speaker 6>but perhaps below the historical average for the year.

694
00:35:00.480 --> 00:35:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Matt, let me ask you this. When you go to

695
00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:04.440
<v Speaker 2>parties and people say, hey, what sort of what's on

696
00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:06.400
<v Speaker 2>a line of work you win, Matt, I kind of

697
00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:09.000
<v Speaker 2>assume that you really don't tell on your meteorologists, because

698
00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:11.440
<v Speaker 2>I assumed every question for the for the balance of

699
00:35:11.440 --> 00:35:13.639
<v Speaker 2>the parties. What about this? What about that? Do you

700
00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:15.840
<v Speaker 2>get that when you get out in social settings, I'm

701
00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:16.480
<v Speaker 2>assuming you do.

702
00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:18.800
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and then you also get you know, you get

703
00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:20.639
<v Speaker 6>paid for being wrong all the time, and you know

704
00:35:20.679 --> 00:35:21.599
<v Speaker 6>all that different stuff.

705
00:35:21.639 --> 00:35:23.639
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, so they'll ask you what the forecast is

706
00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:25.599
<v Speaker 2>and then they'll insult you. Oh yeah, that would be.

707
00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:31.199
<v Speaker 6>But yes, I kind of keep it a little down

708
00:35:31.239 --> 00:35:32.880
<v Speaker 6>low when you go out some days.

709
00:35:33.480 --> 00:35:37.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, no, with a name like Ben's last name, Matt,

710
00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:38.840
<v Speaker 2>Ben's what's some of your car dealer or.

711
00:35:38.800 --> 00:35:42.559
<v Speaker 6>Something like that, I get to add as my my

712
00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:44.679
<v Speaker 6>daughter's name, Mercedes. You know, I get that a lot.

713
00:35:44.760 --> 00:35:46.960
<v Speaker 6>So yeah, all sorts of fun jokes that come up. Yeah,

714
00:35:47.360 --> 00:35:49.559
<v Speaker 6>that's great, that's great, Matt, to get a great sense

715
00:35:49.559 --> 00:35:52.239
<v Speaker 6>of humor. Always enjoy talking to you, particularly now that

716
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:53.199
<v Speaker 6>a little bit of.

717
00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:57.400
<v Speaker 2>The pressure is off. I was down the Cape for

718
00:35:57.920 --> 00:36:00.320
<v Speaker 2>most of the summer and well into the fall, and

719
00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:02.800
<v Speaker 2>it was amazingly beautiful in the Cape. I know it

720
00:36:03.639 --> 00:36:05.920
<v Speaker 2>cost a lot of aggravation up here, but it was

721
00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:12.519
<v Speaker 2>spectacular September and you know, an opulent October in terms

722
00:36:12.559 --> 00:36:16.239
<v Speaker 2>of how we were doing, and uh, you know if

723
00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:18.000
<v Speaker 2>you had anything to do with that, Matt, I just

724
00:36:18.079 --> 00:36:19.920
<v Speaker 2>on behalf of everyone down in the Cape. I want

725
00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:22.480
<v Speaker 2>to say thank you very much, well, thank you and

726
00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:23.000
<v Speaker 2>and you're welcome.

727
00:36:23.039 --> 00:36:24.400
<v Speaker 6>I just did it for the Cape though, and not

728
00:36:24.920 --> 00:36:27.320
<v Speaker 6>for everyone else because I know we needed the rain elsewhere.

729
00:36:27.599 --> 00:36:29.760
<v Speaker 2>AH got you, I got you, all right, Matt, thank

730
00:36:29.760 --> 00:36:32.679
<v Speaker 2>you so much. We'll talk again. Okay, all right, sounds good.

731
00:36:32.679 --> 00:36:36.159
<v Speaker 2>Thanks for having all right, my pleasure, my pleasure, absolutely

732
00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:38.159
<v Speaker 2>always like to talk with Matt Benn's. Okay, when we

733
00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:40.280
<v Speaker 2>get back, let me give you a quick rundown on

734
00:36:40.320 --> 00:36:42.079
<v Speaker 2>what we're going to be doing tonight, because I think

735
00:36:42.079 --> 00:36:44.360
<v Speaker 2>it's important. We'll be opening up those f FO will

736
00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:46.199
<v Speaker 2>actually be Rob will be opening up the phone line.

737
00:36:46.199 --> 00:36:50.159
<v Speaker 2>It's going to talk about the level of empathy and

738
00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:53.880
<v Speaker 2>I guess you could almost stay sympathy shown for this guy,

739
00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:58.079
<v Speaker 2>Luigi Mengioni, the guy charging the murder of US Healthcare

740
00:36:58.159 --> 00:37:03.599
<v Speaker 2>CEO Brian Thompson troubling, including some comments made by our

741
00:37:03.639 --> 00:37:07.800
<v Speaker 2>own Senator Elizabeth Warren. We'll get into that. Also, we're

742
00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:11.320
<v Speaker 2>going to talk with a criminologist named Scott Bond. We've
