It has been a wild weather 3 00:00:10.599 --> 00:00:15.000 afternoon and evening here in New England and particularly in 4 00:00:15.080 --> 00:00:17.800 eastern New England, and we're going to talk about that 5 00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:20.399 in a moment with Matt Ben's of AQI Weather. I 6 00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:23.039 appreciate that he'll take a few minutes to it's been 7 00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:24.719 a busy night for him. But my name is Dan 8 00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:27.719 rayam the host of Nightside. Rob Brooks is back solo tonight, 9 00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:33.880 running the program from the broadcast headquarters at an undisclosed 10 00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:37.520 location in Midford, Massachusetts. My name is Dan Ray. I'm 11 00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:41.079 the host, and we have a very interesting set of 12 00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:46.320 interviewees during this particular hour. We're going to talk about 13 00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:50.200 seniors in the workplace, seniors going back to work because 14 00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:52.840 of the economy. You're going to talk about a topless 15 00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:58.600 protest coming up this Saturday on the Boston Common. And 16 00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:00.880 then we're going to talk with US Spencer Buell of 17 00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:04.519 the Boston Globe about several New England jingles. You know, 18 00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:07.200 those little jingles that you just can't get out of 19 00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:09.959 your head. We'll be talking about those. But we're going 20 00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:14.319 to start off talking about this wild, wacky weather that 21 00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:17.519 we've all experienced. I've talked to several friends of mine 22 00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:21.000 in the last two hours, and with us, it's Matt 23 00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:24.480 ben's ACKI weather meteorologist. Matt. Thanks for joining us. It's 24 00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:26.680 been kind of a busy afternoon and evening for you, 25 00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:28.000 I would suspect. 26 00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:29.879 Yeah, and thank you for having me here. Yeah, definitely 27 00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:32.959 a busy afternoon into the evening with these slow moving 28 00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:36.760 heavy thunderstorms that brought not only heavy rain, bud strong 29 00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:39.359 dusty winds. We had many ports of hail here across 30 00:01:39.359 --> 00:01:42.959 the Greater Boston area and things finally beginning to calm down. 31 00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:46.640 Just now, when did you first notice I don't know 32 00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:50.599 what time your work schedule is, but when did you 33 00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:53.280 first get an inkling that today might be a more 34 00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.680 interesting I think this is the most interesting weather day 35 00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:58.840 of the summer. I stand to be corrected by you, 36 00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.840 the expert, But when you see hale, I've seen hale 37 00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:05.959 on the newscast tonight and the six o'clock news looks 38 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.080 like they were hail size of ping pong balls coming down. Yeah. 39 00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:12.719 Yeah, ping pong golf ball size hail certainly something that 40 00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:14.759 you don't see all the time here in New England, 41 00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.280 and yeah, you know it started off earlier on this 42 00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.599 afternoon when thud of storms really started to blow up 43 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:23.039 across New Hampshire and the kind of just sustained themselves 44 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:25.680 pushing due south, which you typically don't see a lot 45 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:28.400 of our storms come from the west or from the southwest, 46 00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:30.840 but these came from the north. So already you knew 47 00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:32.680 it was going to be unusual day just because of 48 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:35.080 the direction the storms were coming. But of course there 49 00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:37.400 was a severe aspect in the heavy aspect of those 50 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:39.599 storms as well as they headed south and just kind 51 00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:42.719 of sustained themselves here through the late afternoon and early evening. 52 00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:44.800 Yeah, it looked like watching some of the weather forecaster 53 00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:47.719 in the six o'clock newscast, it looked like Boston got 54 00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:50.199 a good amount of rain, nearly two inches as I 55 00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:50.800 understand that. 56 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:53.879 Yeah, round two inches of rain in Boston. Some spots 57 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:57.080 just checking south to town towards Plimpton, and then they 58 00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:59.360 just had a line from there down south towards the 59 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:01.719 north side of fire Mouth, anywhere from two to four 60 00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:04.919 inches of rain. Wouldn't be surprised if some backyard rain 61 00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:07.319 gauges out there, maybe had that three to four inch mark. 62 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.639 But yeah, certainly some heavy soaking rain for a lot 63 00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:11.120 of areas. 64 00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:14.319 So now is it quieting down? I'm told that during 65 00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:18.159 the summertime, once the sun sets, it tends to quiet 66 00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:21.280 things down, at least this sort of weather activity tends 67 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:22.240 to get quieted down. 68 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:25.000 Yeah, it will start to calm down. We do have 69 00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:28.080 one set of storms coming out of the southern southwestern 70 00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:30.719 part of New Hampshire pushing into the northern part of 71 00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:32.719 the state right now. There is a warning on that 72 00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:35.840 up in New Hampshire. But it looks like that those 73 00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:39.120 are beginning to lose their intensity because they gain all 74 00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:41.120 their energy from the daytime heating of the sun and 75 00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:43.759 that's what helps to create the thermals in the atmosphere 76 00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:45.879 that rise up and develop these storms. So once the 77 00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:48.599 sun sets, things generally, at least in our neck of 78 00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:50.599 the woods, start to calm down once you get to 79 00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:51.360 this time of the night. 80 00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:59.639 Now has this little afternoon weather phenomena. Has this helped 81 00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:03.759 us a little bit with the big storm in Nesto 82 00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.759 that is just about has finished with Puerto Rico as 83 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:08.840 moving towards Bermuda, and it looks as if it's going 84 00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:12.919 to avoid us this weekend. Did this little weather pattern 85 00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:16.199 kind of keep Ernesto a little further off out to 86 00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:18.319 sea than it might have otherwise been. 87 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.680 Yeah, that's a great observation, and that's exactly what we're 88 00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.759 seeing right now. A large upper level low is what 89 00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:27.720 we'll call it, coming across New England is now moving 90 00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:31.319 into the maritime provinces of Canada, and what that's helping 91 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:34.639 to do is steering. It's nudging Ernesto to stay out 92 00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:37.319 to see instead of turning towards the northwest, it's going 93 00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:39.839 to be more north and eventually we'll go more northeast 94 00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:42.079 as we head into the weekend and early next week. 95 00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:44.560 One thing that Ernesto is doing right now, it's slowing 96 00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:46.959 down the weather pattern. So we've kind of been stuck 97 00:04:47.000 --> 00:04:50.040 with this particular storm now the last two days. Typically 98 00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:52.000 we'd only see these storms stick around for a day 99 00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:53.759 or so, but now this has been a couple of 100 00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:56.759 days across New England. Finally shifting off towards the east, 101 00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.399 and then with Arnesto coming north, we may actually manage 102 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:02.079 a couple of dry days here through the weekend before 103 00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.160 things get wet into early next week once again. 104 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:06.639 So we might look out. We've we've done pretty well 105 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:09.560 with weekends and this summer, and I was away for 106 00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:11.560 about nine days, so I kind of missed a couple 107 00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:14.079 of weekends. I don't want to be speak out attorn here. 108 00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:16.360 I was on a trip to Italy with a bunch 109 00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:20.839 of nightside listeners. We've been we've been pretty lucky with weekends. Well. 110 00:05:21.000 --> 00:05:24.319 I believe last weekend was kind of nasty, I'm told 111 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:25.680 by some friends. Is that true? 112 00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:28.480 Yeah, yeah, last weekend was. We had a pretty pretty 113 00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:31.079 wet stretch of weather going into the earlier this week, 114 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.120 through the last weekend and even the week before just 115 00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:36.600 kind of a gray, rainy stretch of weather. So at 116 00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:39.720 least for us for this weekend at least turning out 117 00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.199 dry Saturday Sunday. Do you want to stress? So, even 118 00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:45.759 though Ernesto is way offshore, this is driving in some 119 00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:47.959 swells that are going to be reaching the east coast 120 00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:50.279 here over the next couple of days, So it may 121 00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:52.240 be pretty inviting to go out to those beaches, but 122 00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:54.800 just be aware ripped currents and some rough surf will 123 00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:56.680 be a concern here for both Saturday and Sunday. 124 00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.959 Absolutely, as we grab these final few weekends, we'll come 125 00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:03.360 a few final few weekends of August and then Labor Day. 126 00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:05.560 All of that, we know we hate to see this 127 00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.959 time of year ago as quickly as sometimes it appears 128 00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:11.519 to be. Matt, appreciate you taking the time with us today. 129 00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:13.800 I hope you have a very RESTful and easy rest 130 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:17.040 of the night, and nothing more, nothing more. Pops me 131 00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:19.800 you bet you, thank you so much. When we get back, 132 00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:24.759 we're going to talk with a director of financial planning, 133 00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:28.279 analysis and treasury for a company called caring dot com. 134 00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:30.680 His name is John Farrell, not the former Red Sox 135 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:33.319 manager John Farrell. We'll double check on that just to 136 00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:35.279 be sure. But he's going to talk with us about 137 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:39.360 seniors in the workplace. Three and ten seniors in the 138 00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:43.240 workfhace in the workforce, I should say, have decided they 139 00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:46.079 unretired primarily due to inflation. 140 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:46.720 Uh. 141 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.639 This is this is a real problem, and it's a 142 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:53.000 problem for people who thought, Okay, my work and my 143 00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:54.839 work days are over. Now I can kind of kick 144 00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:58.439 back and relax, not necessarily, so we will explain on 145 00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:00.480 the other side of the break. My name's Day. This 146 00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.199 is Nightside. We also are going to talk about a 147 00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:09.279 topless protest this weekend on Boston Common, and four very 148 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:12.879 familiar New England jingles from more than a few years ago, 149 00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:14.720 that most of us who have been around for a 150 00:07:14.800 --> 00:07:18.120 while probably can't get them out of our heads. Well, 151 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:20.720 we will explain all of this, and then coming up 152 00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:23.759 at nine o'clock time, we'll talk with Boston Herald syndicated 153 00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:29.040 columnist Jeff Robbins about concerns in the Jewish community over 154 00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:35.959 the Democratic ticket, the Harris Waltz ticket. We will explain that. 155 00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:38.399 Later on tonight, we're going to ask you about how 156 00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:42.240 your economy's doing. Everybody's talking about the big macro economy. 157 00:07:42.279 --> 00:07:44.879 I want to know the micro economy. How is it 158 00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:47.839 working in your household at this time? Back right after 159 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:50.839 these messages. My name is Dan Ray.

Actually the 169 00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:21.839 last couple of years, we had a lot of inflation. 170 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:25.560 Inflation is slowing down a little bit. But once inflation 171 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:30.639 gets a bite into our pocket books and our wallets, 172 00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:33.840 it doesn't let go with us. As John Farrell the 173 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:37.679 director of financial planning, analysis and treasury for a company 174 00:08:37.679 --> 00:08:40.960 called carrying dot Com. John Farrell, not the former Red 175 00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:44.039 Sox manager of a few years ago. Welcome tonight's side. 176 00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:44.679 How are you, sir? 177 00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:47.360 Good eating Dan? How are you doing tonight? 178 00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:50.600 I'm doing great. There was a namesake manager of the 179 00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:53.039 Red Sox's name was John Farrell. 180 00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:55.759 I'm well aware. I have his card. I'm actually a 181 00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.559 born and raised Red Sox fan. My dad's from Walpole, 182 00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:02.960 mass so Yeah, I was raised Red Sox, Celtics, Patriots, Bruins. 183 00:09:03.000 --> 00:09:05.399 I had a Drew Blood soldiersy on me before I 184 00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:06.399 knew what was what. 185 00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:09.639 So well, good good for you.

I'm not talking about somebody who has a 218 00:11:04.279 --> 00:11:08.120 job that is kind of an avocation type job. I'm 219 00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:11.080 talking about people who are working because they must work. 220 00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:15.679 Yeah, So as far as that's the type of work, 221 00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:17.639 you know, I can't speak to that as much. But 222 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:22.039 in our survey, you know, all respondents aged eighty eighty 223 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:25.279 five rejoined to remain in the workforce to pay down 224 00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:28.799 medical or other debt.

There would 230 00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:46.200 be people, ironically who would have been born in nineteen 231 00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:51.200 sixty two and to have been born in nineteen eighty five. 232 00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:56.279 People could have been born as as as early or 233 00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:58.720 as late however you look as nineteen thirty nine. So 234 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:02.480 these are people in the who were born in the forties, fifties, 235 00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:05.039 and a couple of years in the sixties who are 236 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:08.600 now being impacted. This is the group you're concerned about. 237 00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:11.919 What's the future look like? I mean, obviously some of 238 00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:14.879 those folks, you know, at the higher end of the spectrum, 239 00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:17.360 they don't have a lot of work years left. 240 00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:21.240 Well, if they're unretiring, you know, I guess they would 241 00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:24.840 they would say their work years are done, right, you know, 242 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:27.600 they thought they were done with the with the carousel 243 00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:30.120 and going around and around, and so what does the 244 00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:34.120 future look like?

Or it's 252 00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:58.600 risk in going back to the workplace and and having 253 00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.159 to wake up and put that damage and then those 254 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.960 miles in the in the body right, Or it's it's 255 00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:07.960 having to cut back on essential expenses, whether that be 256 00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:11.120 you know, the nice to have medication or whether that 257 00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:13.639 be a level of care or service that they need. 258 00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:17.720 And so you know, the future is it's okay. 259 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:20.919 So what's the scary things about your Your company is 260 00:13:20.919 --> 00:13:23.320 called caring dot com.

Is that the way it goes? 384 00:19:37.559 --> 00:19:39.400 Yes? Yes, yes, thank you. 385 00:19:39.519 --> 00:19:47.519 Dan, excellent, Okay, Mustard Casio says hi. Uh. Cassio is 386 00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:51.640 the organizer of a rally on the Boston Common which 387 00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:55.599 is going to I guess start at the Embrace Statue, 388 00:19:55.640 --> 00:19:58.279 which is now quite the landmark on the Common and 389 00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:02.000 it's a topless protest to take place Saturday, is it 390 00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:08.200 one o'clock? I believe, yeah, And you're gonna end up 391 00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:13.119 marching up to the state house topless.
