WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:06.200
<v Speaker 1>It's Night's Size Undoing Razy Boston's news radio.

2
00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:09.679
<v Speaker 2>All right, welcome back, everybody. We call this on Nightside,

3
00:00:09.679 --> 00:00:13.160
<v Speaker 2>the twentieth hour of the week. I know that every

4
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:16.120
<v Speaker 2>week we have new listeners. As a matter of fact,

5
00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:18.559
<v Speaker 2>for those of you who might be interested in this

6
00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:23.960
<v Speaker 2>sort of thing, we have had several during the year

7
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:30.719
<v Speaker 2>of twenty twenty four, several outstanding ratings books. We are

8
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:36.679
<v Speaker 2>continuing to grow this audience. The take it from me.

9
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:41.600
<v Speaker 2>You're listening to a top rated talk show here in Boston,

10
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:46.320
<v Speaker 2>which obviously has a bunch of listeners all over the

11
00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:48.399
<v Speaker 2>country and around the world. So for those of you

12
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:50.719
<v Speaker 2>who take the time to listen to Nightside, from the

13
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:52.719
<v Speaker 2>bottom of my heart, I'd like to say thank you

14
00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:55.719
<v Speaker 2>very much for your loyalty. For those of you who

15
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:58.399
<v Speaker 2>are new, and what we try to do on the

16
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:01.719
<v Speaker 2>last hour of the week. Because we're on five nights

17
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:05.560
<v Speaker 2>a week from Monday through Friday, from eight to midnight,

18
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:09.480
<v Speaker 2>that amounts to twenty hours of broadcast radio every week,

19
00:01:09.719 --> 00:01:12.400
<v Speaker 2>five nights times four hours a night through the math

20
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:14.799
<v Speaker 2>twenty hours. So in the twenty hour we always try

21
00:01:14.799 --> 00:01:17.719
<v Speaker 2>to go a little late, and tonight we'll be no

22
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:21.680
<v Speaker 2>exception and so we're going to end this week. And

23
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:24.120
<v Speaker 2>for me, this was a relatively short week because there

24
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:28.959
<v Speaker 2>only worked Wednesday, Thursday and tonight. Morgan White covered the

25
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:31.319
<v Speaker 2>first two nights of the week because I was on

26
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:35.519
<v Speaker 2>vacation on the thirtieth and thirty first, So I treat

27
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:39.400
<v Speaker 2>this as the twentieth hour nonetheless, and therefore I want

28
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:41.799
<v Speaker 2>to find out from you. Did you make a New

29
00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:45.560
<v Speaker 2>Year's resolution this year? If you did, what was it.

30
00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.480
<v Speaker 2>If you did, have you kept it, is it's still

31
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:52.560
<v Speaker 2>in force? And how long do you think you'll be

32
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:56.719
<v Speaker 2>able to go If you didn't make a New Year's resolution?

33
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.920
<v Speaker 2>I would like to know have you in the past

34
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:05.319
<v Speaker 2>or are you like my producer Rob Brooks, whose New

35
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:09.039
<v Speaker 2>Year's resolution every year is the same. He refuses to

36
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.840
<v Speaker 2>make resolutions. That's his resolution, so it's a little bit

37
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:17.319
<v Speaker 2>of fun. I tend not to make New Year's resolutions.

38
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:19.080
<v Speaker 2>I've told you in the past that I made one

39
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:21.520
<v Speaker 2>year that I wanted to get through dry January, which

40
00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:26.960
<v Speaker 2>I did, went through dry February and into March and

41
00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:29.520
<v Speaker 2>ended up with some kidney stones. It's got to be

42
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:32.560
<v Speaker 2>all twenty years ago, and it was not pleasant for

43
00:02:32.639 --> 00:02:35.319
<v Speaker 2>those of you who have had kidney stones, and I've

44
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:38.120
<v Speaker 2>never had them since, but I've never had that resolution sense.

45
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:41.400
<v Speaker 2>And I did it almost as a discipline, not because

46
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:44.120
<v Speaker 2>I felt it was a problem, but as I think

47
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:48.120
<v Speaker 2>i've acknowledged all of you. I'm a light beer drinker

48
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:51.560
<v Speaker 2>and a red wine guy. Simple as that glass of

49
00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:55.400
<v Speaker 2>red wine with dinner lovely, and maybe a light beer

50
00:02:55.439 --> 00:03:02.080
<v Speaker 2>course like before dinner would be lovely. But I have

51
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:05.639
<v Speaker 2>tended away to stay away from resolutions. So I'd love

52
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:08.240
<v Speaker 2>to know from you if you've made him, what are

53
00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:12.039
<v Speaker 2>they and have they worked? Maybe you did a resolution

54
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:14.680
<v Speaker 2>at some point in the past which changed your life.

55
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:18.000
<v Speaker 2>We talked last night with a couple of guests about

56
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:21.120
<v Speaker 2>the concept of New Year's resolutions. You might have heard

57
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:24.479
<v Speaker 2>during the eight o'clock hour on Thursday night professor John

58
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:29.319
<v Speaker 2>Kelly from Endicott College talking about the psychology behind New

59
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Year's resolutions, and doctor Mark Popso about He's from Boston College,

60
00:03:34.840 --> 00:03:37.719
<v Speaker 2>about New Year's resolutions and what you need to make

61
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.479
<v Speaker 2>them work. So this is more on a personal level.

62
00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:42.319
<v Speaker 2>Let's have a little bit of fun with it, and

63
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:45.599
<v Speaker 2>we're going to start it right off with Neil in Watertown.

64
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:48.960
<v Speaker 2>Neil haven't heard you from a while, but it's always

65
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.520
<v Speaker 2>great to know you're out there listening. Thanks for calling in, Neil.

66
00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:54.759
<v Speaker 2>How'd your New Year's resolutions go? Or did you make one?

67
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:58.400
<v Speaker 3>Well? I'm gonna ask for a little latitude because I

68
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.479
<v Speaker 3>didn't make I don't make them, but I have one

69
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:07.240
<v Speaker 3>that from literary history, I can describe it briefly. Is

70
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:07.639
<v Speaker 3>that all right?

71
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead?

72
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:14.479
<v Speaker 3>So on January first, eighteen fifty two, Robert Browning, he's

73
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:18.639
<v Speaker 3>a famous poet, made a resolution to write something every day.

74
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:24.360
<v Speaker 3>So he said it just came to him in a dream,

75
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:27.279
<v Speaker 3>and his opening instruction to the poem. The poem is

76
00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:31.240
<v Speaker 3>entitled Child Rolling to the Dark Tower came and his

77
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:35.319
<v Speaker 3>opening instructions see is ce Edgar's song and lare just

78
00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:40.240
<v Speaker 3>to recapped briefly. Edgar is the son of Gloucester who

79
00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:43.040
<v Speaker 3>has been framed by his brother to make it seem

80
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:45.639
<v Speaker 3>as if Edgar wants to kill his father, so he's

81
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:49.399
<v Speaker 3>on the run. So to escape detection, he pretends he's

82
00:04:49.439 --> 00:04:53.959
<v Speaker 3>a madman and he's babbling all the time. And the song,

83
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:56.600
<v Speaker 3>well it's really like a babbling at the end of

84
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:01.839
<v Speaker 3>a free singe fours Child Roll into the dark Tara Kane.

85
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:06.279
<v Speaker 3>His word was still five fore and found I smelled

86
00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:10.560
<v Speaker 3>the blood of a British man, So I guess child Rowland.

87
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:13.199
<v Speaker 3>Rowland is the hero of the just Beefly is the

88
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:18.279
<v Speaker 3>hero of the Charlemagne legend, and Shakespeare puts his words

89
00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:22.360
<v Speaker 3>and gives him the words of Jack the Beanstalk. But anyway,

90
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:26.519
<v Speaker 3>so on this day he wrote the poems thirty four stanzas.

91
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:29.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, please don't read the thirty four stances.

92
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:32.519
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, I've planned this South Dan. I'm not

93
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:33.560
<v Speaker 3>going to no.

94
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:37.720
<v Speaker 2>Understand, but but my patience is running thin here because

95
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:41.600
<v Speaker 2>it's a little away from what I wanted to talk about.

96
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:42.959
<v Speaker 2>And again, I.

97
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.720
<v Speaker 3>Just wanted to tell somebody about it. That's and.

98
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.399
<v Speaker 2>Okay, okay, well, thank you very much. I appreciate it. Neil,

99
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:57.920
<v Speaker 2>thanks for the call. Okay, folks, look, uh, Neil has

100
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:03.600
<v Speaker 2>called before and often he's a little misdirected. But you know,

101
00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:05.920
<v Speaker 2>I try to be flexible. But at the same time,

102
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:09.160
<v Speaker 2>if you want to recite poetry, tell me about it,

103
00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.439
<v Speaker 2>and maybe we will. We'll have a night where people

104
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:17.399
<v Speaker 2>can recite their favorite poetry. But when we stake out

105
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:20.600
<v Speaker 2>a topic, we like to try to stay with the

106
00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:23.680
<v Speaker 2>topic a little bit. Let me go to Joe and Lynn. Joe,

107
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:26.040
<v Speaker 2>do you make a New Year's resolution today this year?

108
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:28.879
<v Speaker 4>Well, Dan, yes, I did, and I just want to

109
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:31.079
<v Speaker 4>say I agree with Glenn. We don't need any law

110
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:33.720
<v Speaker 4>like that. But that's another issue. I wish I could

111
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:36.439
<v Speaker 4>have gotten the earlier. I have mixed feelings, but that's okay.

112
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:40.279
<v Speaker 4>My resolutions try and get better from miscancer if I can.

113
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:42.240
<v Speaker 4>I'd like to see if I can help other people

114
00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:45.120
<v Speaker 4>who need help if possible. I can't do much because

115
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.800
<v Speaker 4>I'm in a bad way, but that's my resolution. I

116
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:51.279
<v Speaker 4>normally don't make resolutions, but may I made one this time?

117
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:53.680
<v Speaker 2>And what are you going to try to do about it?

118
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.519
<v Speaker 4>Well, I'm doing the best I can. I'm doing some research,

119
00:06:58.639 --> 00:07:01.839
<v Speaker 4>talking to different doctors about the pros and cons of radiation,

120
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:05.879
<v Speaker 4>and I'm trying to look into alternative therapy if I

121
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:08.600
<v Speaker 4>can possibly get that. It's very hard to some insurance

122
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:11.639
<v Speaker 4>won insurances won't take it. I'm trying to save some money.

123
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:13.959
<v Speaker 4>I'm doing the best I can to see what I

124
00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:14.800
<v Speaker 4>can get done.

125
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:17.639
<v Speaker 2>Well, I wish you're best of luck with it, Joe. Again,

126
00:07:17.759 --> 00:07:21.160
<v Speaker 2>I hope and pray that everything works out for you.

127
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:26.120
<v Speaker 2>And I think I think a lot of fighting some

128
00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:32.240
<v Speaker 2>of these horrific uh you know, diseases can be mental

129
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:33.560
<v Speaker 2>as well, and I think that if a lot of

130
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:37.879
<v Speaker 2>people pray with you and pray for you, and I

131
00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:40.000
<v Speaker 2>know in my audience they will, that's going to help.

132
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:43.120
<v Speaker 2>But I also think that your mental your mental attitude

133
00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:44.759
<v Speaker 2>to keep it strong and stay strong.

134
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:48.879
<v Speaker 4>Okay, I try to. I appreciate, and I just want

135
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:51.480
<v Speaker 4>to say I mixed feelings on that long I agree

136
00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.040
<v Speaker 4>with kind of with Glenn, but all right, thank you much.

137
00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:56.720
<v Speaker 2>That was last hour, Joe, so please Yeah, I wish

138
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:01.040
<v Speaker 2>I could I tried. Yeah, well again, you know, the

139
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:04.680
<v Speaker 2>lines were open pretty early, Joe, and like anything else,

140
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.199
<v Speaker 2>when people try late, we run out of time. There

141
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:09.560
<v Speaker 2>were people who were hanging on the phone line last hour.

142
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:12.800
<v Speaker 2>But one of my New Year's resolutions is I'm trying

143
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:16.040
<v Speaker 2>not to force people. At the end, they'll call in

144
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:19.399
<v Speaker 2>it ten fifty five. And I've tended to a people

145
00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:22.639
<v Speaker 2>and so I try to. My attitude is most people

146
00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:25.240
<v Speaker 2>listen to the show, understand we do. We try to

147
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:28.720
<v Speaker 2>do our segments, h and I agree if people want

148
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:30.560
<v Speaker 2>to sit there and listen to what and some people

149
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:34.919
<v Speaker 2>actually calling intentionally to try to be the last point

150
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:36.960
<v Speaker 2>on the subject. And I'm not going to play that

151
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:37.600
<v Speaker 2>game anymore.

152
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:38.639
<v Speaker 1>That's what I don't do.

153
00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:38.759
<v Speaker 5>This.

154
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.159
<v Speaker 4>I had forgotten I was doing something else. But all right,

155
00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:42.879
<v Speaker 4>thank you very.

156
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.919
<v Speaker 2>Much, Thanks Joe, appreciate it. Happy New Year. All right.

157
00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:50.639
<v Speaker 2>Let me re re establish the theme here. The theme

158
00:08:50.919 --> 00:08:56.600
<v Speaker 2>is New Year's resolutions, and if you have a resolution,

159
00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:01.200
<v Speaker 2>I'd love to know what it was. And I'll bet

160
00:09:01.279 --> 00:09:03.200
<v Speaker 2>you some have advance, some of you have made really

161
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:09.360
<v Speaker 2>good resolutions. Please. This is not a poetry jam, slam,

162
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:12.919
<v Speaker 2>whatever they call it. This is a talk show. And

163
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:15.919
<v Speaker 2>whatever your New Year's resolutions are, have you made them

164
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:17.759
<v Speaker 2>in the past? Have you ever made one that changed

165
00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:22.320
<v Speaker 2>your life? Six one, seven, five, four thirty, six seven, nine, three, one,

166
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:25.559
<v Speaker 2>ten thirty. It is New Year's week, ladies and gentlemen,

167
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:29.039
<v Speaker 2>it is Friday night. Feel free to join the conversation.

168
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:31.120
<v Speaker 2>We'll be back on Nightside right after this.

169
00:09:32.200 --> 00:09:35.120
<v Speaker 1>Now back to Dan ray Line from the Window World

170
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:38.360
<v Speaker 1>night Side Studios on WBZ, the news radio.

171
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.840
<v Speaker 2>All Right, have you made a New Year's resolution this year?

172
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.519
<v Speaker 2>And more importantly, is it still intact? I'd love to

173
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:49.840
<v Speaker 2>know what it is? Feel free. Have you made New

174
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:52.120
<v Speaker 2>Year's resolutions in the past. I mean, there was a

175
00:09:52.200 --> 00:09:55.120
<v Speaker 2>time in this country when I think most people made

176
00:09:55.240 --> 00:09:58.799
<v Speaker 2>New Year's resolutions, but I think they've fallen out of favor.

177
00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:01.399
<v Speaker 2>And if you're not, make you a New Year's resolution,

178
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:04.639
<v Speaker 2>tell me why. Six one, seven, two, five, four to

179
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:07.320
<v Speaker 2>ten thirty six one, seven, nine three one ten thirty.

180
00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:10.679
<v Speaker 2>I gave Glenn permission. Everybody, by the way, has permission

181
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:13.799
<v Speaker 2>to make in the twentieth hour, we give people. We

182
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:16.159
<v Speaker 2>ask people during the week to call in only once

183
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:19.120
<v Speaker 2>to allow more people and more voices to be heard.

184
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:23.519
<v Speaker 2>But in the twentieth hour, we give people the what

185
00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:25.720
<v Speaker 2>we call a hall pass, and you can call in

186
00:10:26.559 --> 00:10:29.399
<v Speaker 2>even if you called in Monday night and talked to Morgan,

187
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:32.039
<v Speaker 2>or called in Wednesday night and talked to me. Let's

188
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:35.240
<v Speaker 2>go to Glenn and Bright and Glenn. New Year's resolution.

189
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Did you make one?

190
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:37.879
<v Speaker 3>Yes?

191
00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:41.360
<v Speaker 6>In nineteen seventy three, when I was twenty, I made

192
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:43.759
<v Speaker 6>and I broke it. On January fourth, I made a

193
00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:47.440
<v Speaker 6>resolution to stop swearing. I told this to Rob.

194
00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:50.679
<v Speaker 2>That's the tough one. By the way, that's a tough one.

195
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.320
<v Speaker 2>I sometimes try to have made that resolution. That's a

196
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:57.080
<v Speaker 2>tough one day to be successful. I'm surprised you made

197
00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:58.159
<v Speaker 2>it the January fourth, go.

198
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:02.320
<v Speaker 6>Ahead January with some woman stepped on my foot and

199
00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:05.879
<v Speaker 6>I dropped the f bob. I'm like, oh this, yeah, that's.

200
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:09.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, so that's my last resolution.

201
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.240
<v Speaker 6>Well, I had just cut my toenails, and that's why

202
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:15.320
<v Speaker 6>I hurt when Please don't.

203
00:11:15.159 --> 00:11:21.799
<v Speaker 2>Tell us about your toenails joke, right, job, that's that please? Well?

204
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:25.720
<v Speaker 2>Uh I know, yeah, so so so you. Therefore, I

205
00:11:25.879 --> 00:11:28.120
<v Speaker 2>have never made another New Year's resolution.

206
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:31.399
<v Speaker 6>Nope, because I can keep the one I don't make

207
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:34.399
<v Speaker 6>by not making. BROB and I had a nice discussion

208
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:35.559
<v Speaker 6>off the air about this.

209
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:38.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you did. I hope you didn't leave your

210
00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:41.519
<v Speaker 2>a game off air. As I mentioned, Rob has said

211
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:44.840
<v Speaker 2>that his New Year's resolution is the same every year.

212
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:47.879
<v Speaker 2>I resolved me to make New Year's resolutions.

213
00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:50.840
<v Speaker 6>But that's that's fine me too. And people nagged me,

214
00:11:50.919 --> 00:11:53.000
<v Speaker 6>woll you're going to have and I'm like, where is

215
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:54.279
<v Speaker 6>that written in the constitution.

216
00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.080
<v Speaker 2>I've got to have one. Nope, absolutely, it's it's uh,

217
00:11:58.399 --> 00:11:59.879
<v Speaker 2>it's a free country. It's a freak.

218
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:00.879
<v Speaker 6>You can make it.

219
00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:05.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm hoping that there might be some people out there

220
00:12:05.399 --> 00:12:07.600
<v Speaker 2>tonight who are going to tell me that they did

221
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:10.399
<v Speaker 2>make a resolution at some point in the past and

222
00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:14.360
<v Speaker 2>it really had helped save their life or change their life.

223
00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:18.919
<v Speaker 2>Their life, meaning maybe someone said I'm going to give

224
00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:20.360
<v Speaker 2>up this or I'm going to give up that and

225
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:21.120
<v Speaker 2>actually work.

226
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:25.480
<v Speaker 6>I know people. I know people that have made resolutions

227
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:28.399
<v Speaker 6>for quit drinking and smoking and they did it, or

228
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.320
<v Speaker 6>lose weight and they did it, or save money and

229
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:33.759
<v Speaker 6>they did it. I mean, I know people.

230
00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:38.600
<v Speaker 2>Those are good resolutions if you have if you have

231
00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:41.679
<v Speaker 2>the ability, even if you if you say to yourself, look,

232
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:45.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to put ten dollars a week into into

233
00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:48.879
<v Speaker 2>a a piggy bank, hypothetically, and at the end of

234
00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:51.159
<v Speaker 2>the year, I'll open up that piggy bank and I'll

235
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:54.639
<v Speaker 2>have five hundred dollars and I'll be able to splurge

236
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:57.919
<v Speaker 2>on presents or I'll be able to splurge in myself.

237
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:02.200
<v Speaker 2>That's a new Year's resolution actually could potentially work when

238
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:02.799
<v Speaker 2>you think about it.

239
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:06.440
<v Speaker 6>And one more quick thing I grew up around. I'm

240
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:08.039
<v Speaker 6>not a Catholic, but I grew up around a lot

241
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:11.679
<v Speaker 6>of Catholics, and rather than make a New Year's resolution

242
00:13:12.159 --> 00:13:15.039
<v Speaker 6>during Lent they'd give something up, and that he came there.

243
00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:19.279
<v Speaker 6>It's like a New Year's resolution a month and a

244
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:19.960
<v Speaker 6>half later.

245
00:13:20.120 --> 00:13:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, no, no, you're absolutely correct on that. There

246
00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:28.200
<v Speaker 2>were many Catholics who for many years would say, Okay,

247
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:31.720
<v Speaker 2>for Lent, I'm gonna give up candy, and they did

248
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:35.360
<v Speaker 2>that as a sacrifice, even though they like that. You

249
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:37.200
<v Speaker 2>got to give up. You can't say I'm going to

250
00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:41.159
<v Speaker 2>give up let's say broccoli or something you don't particularly like.

251
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:43.759
<v Speaker 2>They have to give up something you like it because

252
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:46.759
<v Speaker 2>it has to be a sacrifice for forty days and

253
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:47.519
<v Speaker 2>forty nights.

254
00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:51.720
<v Speaker 6>And if you like gambling, you have to give up gambling.

255
00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:53.679
<v Speaker 6>Oh I'm just husing at us.

256
00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.279
<v Speaker 2>No, I use that as a great as. I use

257
00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:58.519
<v Speaker 2>that as a great example. I couldn't I couldn't have

258
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:02.600
<v Speaker 2>worked you more on that, Glenn. I appreciate your your

259
00:14:02.720 --> 00:14:06.679
<v Speaker 2>participation tonight, and thank you very much for have enjoyed us.

260
00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:07.840
<v Speaker 2>As always, we'll talk.

261
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:09.960
<v Speaker 6>To you, my friend, and I want to say up,

262
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:11.480
<v Speaker 6>I knew you to Christine and datum.

263
00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:14.519
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well that's fine. If anything I can do to

264
00:14:14.600 --> 00:14:17.440
<v Speaker 2>help out your social life is you're more than welcome. Okay,

265
00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:21.559
<v Speaker 2>Happy New Year, Happy New Year. Hope twenty twenty five

266
00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:22.879
<v Speaker 2>is a good one for you. Thank you have a

267
00:14:22.919 --> 00:14:27.399
<v Speaker 2>great yea, all right? Six one, triple eight, nine, nine, ten,

268
00:14:27.480 --> 00:14:30.600
<v Speaker 2>thirty your New Year's resolutions. We're off to a slow

269
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:33.679
<v Speaker 2>start here, but that's okay. I have confidence in my audience.

270
00:14:34.279 --> 00:14:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Let's go to Manny in Boston. Manny, go right ahead.

271
00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:37.240
<v Speaker 2>How are you tonight, Manny?

272
00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:40.039
<v Speaker 7>I'm well? How are you, Dan? Happy night?

273
00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:42.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm doing great. Appreciate to hear your voice. Thanks for

274
00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:45.679
<v Speaker 2>calling in New Year's resolution. Yes or no?

275
00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:54.559
<v Speaker 7>Absolutely make some years I've failed, I admit it. Okay,

276
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.759
<v Speaker 7>two years ago I made a resolution to lose weight.

277
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:04.759
<v Speaker 7>I got on ozempic, I lost the weight, I kept

278
00:15:04.840 --> 00:15:08.480
<v Speaker 7>it off, got off of the ozempic after six months,

279
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:11.519
<v Speaker 7>and pretty much have kept the weight off for the

280
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:12.519
<v Speaker 7>last year and a half.

281
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:15.039
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so that was.

282
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:18.879
<v Speaker 7>One thing, but there I think that I made other

283
00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:23.480
<v Speaker 7>financial goals that I've pretty much achieved as well.

284
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:26.440
<v Speaker 8>But I think New.

285
00:15:26.399 --> 00:15:31.200
<v Speaker 7>Year's resolutions are aspiration. People need to have something to

286
00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:31.919
<v Speaker 7>go for.

287
00:15:32.759 --> 00:15:32.960
<v Speaker 6>You know.

288
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.360
<v Speaker 7>Maybe that's just me, maybe I'm being naive, but oh look,

289
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:38.360
<v Speaker 7>I think it's.

290
00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:41.440
<v Speaker 2>I think it. I think at the end of the year,

291
00:15:42.039 --> 00:15:44.440
<v Speaker 2>most of us say okay, what's going right, what's going

292
00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:47.440
<v Speaker 2>wrong in my life? And you can make it, make

293
00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:50.840
<v Speaker 2>a very simple resolution, and if it works, it's great.

294
00:15:51.039 --> 00:15:54.639
<v Speaker 2>You had made a significant resolution. I was afraid you're

295
00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:57.080
<v Speaker 2>going to say to me. I was on ozempic for

296
00:15:57.159 --> 00:15:59.320
<v Speaker 2>six months and I lost my weight. I got off

297
00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:01.840
<v Speaker 2>it and came back on how much weight did you lose?

298
00:16:01.840 --> 00:16:07.080
<v Speaker 2>If I could ask, forty eight pounds and have you

299
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:08.200
<v Speaker 2>kept them all off?

300
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:13.159
<v Speaker 7>I actually went on a wake in one eighty and

301
00:16:13.320 --> 00:16:17.840
<v Speaker 7>dropped another nine pounds, but I kind of splid and

302
00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:20.960
<v Speaker 7>I'm back to my one ninety five weight, which is

303
00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:25.600
<v Speaker 7>my target weight when I was on the ozempic. So okay,

304
00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:28.519
<v Speaker 7>I'm going to lose the other nine pounds to get

305
00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:31.919
<v Speaker 7>back to where I was. That's what I'm going to

306
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:33.399
<v Speaker 7>do in the next month or so.

307
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:36.320
<v Speaker 2>Can I make a suggestion to you? Can I make

308
00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:38.240
<v Speaker 2>a suggestion to you? And I know a little bit

309
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:41.879
<v Speaker 2>about the awake in one eighty program. Sure you know

310
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:45.480
<v Speaker 2>that once you're on it, you can take advantage of it.

311
00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:46.879
<v Speaker 2>Like you understand that, right?

312
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:48.159
<v Speaker 6>Yes?

<v Speaker 9>Absolutely, And I'll tell you something.

314
00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:53.519
<v Speaker 2>I go in once, I go in once a month,

315
00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:57.399
<v Speaker 2>and every time I goin, you sit with one of

316
00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:01.440
<v Speaker 2>the the coaches. Most of them are young women, and

317
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:04.440
<v Speaker 2>they're really smart and they give me tips and ideas.

318
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:07.480
<v Speaker 2>I've kept my I only lost thirty five pounds, maybe

319
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.240
<v Speaker 2>thirty eight, but I have kept it off for nine years.

320
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:16.359
<v Speaker 2>And the key for me is every month I need

321
00:17:16.440 --> 00:17:19.559
<v Speaker 2>to go in there and and just sit and go over.

322
00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:24.279

00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:01.200
<v Speaker 7>out of the kind trade in about a week and

336
00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:05.279
<v Speaker 7>a half as soon as I get back, and I

00:18:09.240 --> 00:18:10.599
<v Speaker 7>I will be going back there.

339
00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Great.

340
00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:15.240
<v Speaker 7>The problem was I didn't stick with the program seriously enough.

341
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:19.960
<v Speaker 7>Did I lose weight? Yeah? I needed another pound to

342
00:18:20.039 --> 00:18:23.319
<v Speaker 7>really hit my charget, which was one eighty five. I

343
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:27.480
<v Speaker 7>got to one eighty six and change six seven. I

344
00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:31.200
<v Speaker 7>think I weigh myself almost every day. That is that

345
00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:33.680
<v Speaker 7>is a key factor myself under control.

346
00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:35.680
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, let me tell you. Let me tell you.

347
00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:38.000
<v Speaker 2>I do the same thing. When I get up in

348
00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:40.640
<v Speaker 2>the morning, I want to make sure that I am

349
00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:43.960
<v Speaker 2>three or four pounds under one seventy because once you

350
00:18:44.039 --> 00:18:46.759
<v Speaker 2>put your clothes on, now you've added a couple of pounds,

351
00:18:46.799 --> 00:18:50.720
<v Speaker 2>three pounds or whatever. Oh yeah, wait, I weigh myself

352
00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:52.440
<v Speaker 2>in the morning and I weigh myself at ninety. You

353
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:56.920
<v Speaker 2>know what that does? That teaches me what did I

354
00:18:57.039 --> 00:18:58.960
<v Speaker 2>eat yesterday that all of a sudden my weight has

355
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:02.519
<v Speaker 2>gone up? Or what did I eat yesterday so my

356
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:06.559
<v Speaker 2>weight has stayed where it is. You learn, you learn

357
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:11.240
<v Speaker 2>by That's the way you learn what works with your body.

358
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:17.319
<v Speaker 2>That's all. Look, I had some chocolate cookies after dinner tonight, okay, uh,

359
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:19.440
<v Speaker 2>And I'm I may have a glass of red wine

360
00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:22.880
<v Speaker 2>after the after the program tonight. So people think, oh,

361
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:25.240
<v Speaker 2>you gotta you gotta go cold turkey, and you can't

362
00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:27.519
<v Speaker 2>know that's the beauty of a Waken one eighties. So

363
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:29.799
<v Speaker 2>please get back to it and do me a favor.

364
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:31.440
<v Speaker 2>Call me back and let me know how you're doing

365
00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:32.279
<v Speaker 2>a couple of months.

366
00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:34.720
<v Speaker 7>From now, Okay, I shall Dan.

367
00:19:35.359 --> 00:19:35.920
<v Speaker 6>Thanks Shenny.

368
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:38.920
<v Speaker 2>I believe in this program and everyone who I have

369
00:19:39.079 --> 00:19:42.079
<v Speaker 2>talked to about it has been a success. And it's

370
00:19:42.160 --> 00:19:45.759
<v Speaker 2>amazing that you were able to take the weight off

371
00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:48.440
<v Speaker 2>with the ozempic and keep it off. I was concerned.

372
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:50.759
<v Speaker 2>And now let's let's finish off with a waken one

373
00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:52.839
<v Speaker 2>eight because again it's free of charge at this point.

374
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:53.640
<v Speaker 2>You know that, Okay.

375
00:19:54.759 --> 00:19:59.240
<v Speaker 7>I'll say one thing about the Dan, Yeah, yes, gold.

376
00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:02.519
<v Speaker 7>The one thing about the ozempic is you have to

377
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:07.160
<v Speaker 7>change how you eat, okay. And that's what it did

378
00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:11.079
<v Speaker 7>for me. I lost a lot of the cravings that

379
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:13.359
<v Speaker 7>I had before to cheat and have.

380
00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:13.920
<v Speaker 3>This and that.

381
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:16.960
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, and I get off of it. I didn't need it,

382
00:20:17.759 --> 00:20:19.960
<v Speaker 7>and I wanted to see if I could do it

383
00:20:20.599 --> 00:20:23.480
<v Speaker 7>just on my own without the ozepic. I know people

384
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:25.680
<v Speaker 7>that are still on it. They've lost the weight, but

385
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:28.720
<v Speaker 7>they stay on it. I think you really need to

386
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:30.440
<v Speaker 7>test yourself.

387
00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:34.160
<v Speaker 2>But you know what made you can do it with

388
00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:37.160
<v Speaker 2>awake in one eighty because thousands of people have done it.

389
00:20:37.400 --> 00:20:41.720
<v Speaker 2>It's not that hard. Okay, And I'm begging you call

390
00:20:41.839 --> 00:20:43.319
<v Speaker 2>me back in a couple of months and you'll be

391
00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:44.119
<v Speaker 2>done in one eighty.

<v Speaker 2>Have you made one? Yes?

416
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:05.079
<v Speaker 10>I am looking forward to a year that is lottery free.

417
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:09.720
<v Speaker 2>So you're a lottery player and you want to kick

418
00:22:09.759 --> 00:22:10.160
<v Speaker 2>the habit.

419
00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:14.200
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, I want to just direct my money into a

420
00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:20.039
<v Speaker 10>different situation and kind of just be free from that.

421
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:25.440
<v Speaker 10>And in my previous resolutions as a young person, I

422
00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:30.079
<v Speaker 10>learned how to smoke and a smoking household, so I

423
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:33.359
<v Speaker 10>quit smoking along with my mother, who I learned from

424
00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:39.799
<v Speaker 10>through a TBS program that was on TV from Thanksgiving

425
00:22:40.359 --> 00:22:43.279
<v Speaker 10>until New Year's and they had you stop on New

426
00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:47.880
<v Speaker 10>Year's Eve, was your last cigarette? So I've been, you know,

427
00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:52.759
<v Speaker 10>smoke free since my early twenties. And one of the

428
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:56.400
<v Speaker 10>other resolutions I made a few years ago was to

429
00:22:56.519 --> 00:23:00.920
<v Speaker 10>become a better listener. And what I found out by

430
00:23:01.000 --> 00:23:03.720
<v Speaker 10>being a better listener over more than a year's time,

431
00:23:03.799 --> 00:23:06.680
<v Speaker 10>because it was it just rolled into the rest of

432
00:23:06.799 --> 00:23:09.559
<v Speaker 10>my life that I became a better friend.

433
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:15.640
<v Speaker 2>That's interesting. I think that there's a lot of wisdom

434
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:18.640
<v Speaker 2>in that. By the way, you sound like you're probably

435
00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:24.079
<v Speaker 2>no older than twenty five. By the way, you have

436
00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:26.640
<v Speaker 2>a very young son. Dan.

437
00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:28.880
<v Speaker 10>You've always got a lot of stars for me. And

438
00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:31.000
<v Speaker 10>by the way, I'm a first time caller. I've been

439
00:23:31.079 --> 00:23:33.759
<v Speaker 10>listening from the time you started.

440
00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:39.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh my goodness. Well, I love first time callers, and

441
00:23:39.960 --> 00:23:42.680
<v Speaker 2>I love first time callers who become second time callers.

442
00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:46.799
<v Speaker 2>But thank you so much. Look, how tough was it

443
00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:48.799
<v Speaker 2>to give up the cigarettes? You said it was a

444
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:50.799
<v Speaker 2>PBS program that did you put this?

445
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:57.759
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, it really helped. They just it was three basic

446
00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:00.559
<v Speaker 10>things that you had to tell yourself. You had to

447
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:04.400
<v Speaker 10>choose not to smoke. You understood that cigarette smoking was

448
00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:06.440
<v Speaker 10>not good for your health. And then you had to

449
00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:11.200
<v Speaker 10>put in uh something that you also affirmed, so that

450
00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:14.039
<v Speaker 10>every time you wanted, you know, you had that desire,

451
00:24:14.160 --> 00:24:18.839
<v Speaker 10>you know, the nicotine six or whatever it had evolved to. Uh,

452
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:22.680
<v Speaker 10>it just uh you just plugged in those three statements.

453
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:27.440
<v Speaker 10>You told yourself that, and you know it didn't really

454
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:31.359
<v Speaker 10>go away. Uh the desire was there for many years.

455
00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:35.720
<v Speaker 10>But I just kept using, uh what I learned in

456
00:24:35.759 --> 00:24:39.359
<v Speaker 10>the program, and I just never went back, never even once.

457
00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Good for you, so that.

458
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:48.039
<v Speaker 10>It's tough for people, but we can do it. You know,

459
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:52.119
<v Speaker 10>it takes some determination and discipline and you know, a

460
00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:56.720
<v Speaker 10>true authentic willingness, and and I feel like you gained

461
00:24:56.880 --> 00:25:01.079
<v Speaker 10>mastery when you set yourself up to do something, say

462
00:25:01.160 --> 00:25:04.480
<v Speaker 10>you're in competitive sports or something and you want to

463
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:09.279
<v Speaker 10>excel at it. It seems like if you put everything

464
00:25:09.480 --> 00:25:12.839
<v Speaker 10>that you have into it, you can accomplish things. But

465
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:17.240
<v Speaker 10>it takes a lot of focus. And I say, people

466
00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:19.599
<v Speaker 10>have it if they give it to themselves, if they

467
00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:20.319
<v Speaker 10>want something.

468
00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:23.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, when I was a kid, my father was

469
00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:31.000
<v Speaker 2>a two packa day, unfiltered camel smoker, and he I've

470
00:25:31.039 --> 00:25:33.799
<v Speaker 2>been a veteran of World War two, spent two and

471
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:38.400
<v Speaker 2>a half years in China, Burman, India, and in those days,

472
00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:43.400
<v Speaker 2>the cigarette companies provided cigarettes to the troops and it

473
00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:45.480
<v Speaker 2>was the old you know, smoke them if you got him.

474
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:50.119
<v Speaker 2>So he came back hooked on and I hated. I

475
00:25:50.359 --> 00:25:53.440
<v Speaker 2>hated a cigarette smoke. I mean I hated the smell

476
00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:56.000
<v Speaker 2>of it, and I grew up with it. I grew

477
00:25:56.079 --> 00:25:59.359
<v Speaker 2>up with it. Yes, as a consequence, I've never smoked

478
00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:04.119
<v Speaker 2>a cigarette life. I can't. When Bill Clinton said he

479
00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:08.400
<v Speaker 2>did not Inhale, I knew exactly what he meant. I

480
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:11.640
<v Speaker 2>can remember trying to one time smoke a cigarette to

481
00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:17.359
<v Speaker 2>show a girl I was dating is how ugly it looked.

482
00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:21.799
<v Speaker 2>And I didn't. I couldn't. I literally did no ability

483
00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:27.640
<v Speaker 2>to inhale the smoke. But my father quit cold Turkey.

484
00:26:28.000 --> 00:26:32.759
<v Speaker 2>He went from two packs a day, stopped when the

485
00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:37.400
<v Speaker 2>Surgeon General's report came out and said smoking you know

486
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:42.200
<v Speaker 2>nineteen this is nineteen sixty four, right, And he just

487
00:26:42.359 --> 00:26:48.000
<v Speaker 2>went cold Turkey. He's a very you know, tough guy, okay,

488
00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:52.039
<v Speaker 2>but I was amazed that he went cold Turkey. I

489
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:53.640
<v Speaker 2>can remember as a kid he would give us a

490
00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:56.000
<v Speaker 2>quarter go up and get a pack of cigarettes for him,

491
00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:58.960
<v Speaker 2>and he was either smoking Lucky Strikes or camels. And

492
00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:03.839
<v Speaker 2>I can remember smelling the packages and the tobacco smell

493
00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:08.519
<v Speaker 2>wasn't bad, but that smell of the smoke, I hated it.

494
00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:09.000
<v Speaker 7>Well.

495
00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:14.880
<v Speaker 10>I can remember one thing about smoking the nicotine attaching

496
00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:19.920
<v Speaker 10>to your skins of the fingers that held the cigarette.

497
00:27:20.200 --> 00:27:21.160
<v Speaker 10>That was pretty gross.

498
00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:26.319
<v Speaker 2>Yep, yep. Well, congratulations, this is your first time calling.

499
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:29.240
<v Speaker 2>I love the fact that you have finally called, and

500
00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:31.440

501
00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:34.960
<v Speaker 2>friends about Nightside. And by the way, just I know

502
00:27:35.079 --> 00:27:37.680

<v Speaker 2>show on Sunday nights. It's on tape, The Best Off,

504
00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:44.240

505
00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:47.279

506

00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:06.000
<v Speaker 2>people today called me and told me how they were

512
00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:08.680
<v Speaker 2>inspired and they bought this guy's book as a result.

513

<v Speaker 10>Can you repeat the title of the book please?

516

<v Speaker 2>Sure. The book was Cherish America, Cherish like you know

517
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:29.079
<v Speaker 2>you cherish something cherish. And his name was Robert Charles.

<v Speaker 8>Happy New Year to you, Happy New Year to.

546
00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:50.880
<v Speaker 2>You as well. Thanks G. I are gonna go next

547
00:29:50.920 --> 00:29:53.559
<v Speaker 2>to one of my favorite callers, Laurie. Laurie, how are

548
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:56.839
<v Speaker 2>you tonight? I suspect that you might have been a

549
00:29:56.920 --> 00:29:58.319
<v Speaker 2>New Year's resolution person.

550
00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:04.480
<v Speaker 8>Now I'm firmly in Rob's camp, and now I can

551
00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:06.559
<v Speaker 8>actually next year actually make a resolution. But I think

552
00:30:06.559 --> 00:30:08.039
<v Speaker 8>I probably have to send him royalties.

553
00:30:09.119 --> 00:30:14.440
<v Speaker 2>Really, so you don't make that No, never really, Okay.

554
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:17.279
<v Speaker 8>I said someone the other day, accuse me kind of jerkingly.

555
00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:22.559
<v Speaker 8>So obviously you you have no issues to resolve. I

556
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:24.559
<v Speaker 8>think some as I go. If there's something that needs

557
00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:26.519
<v Speaker 8>changing me, I don't wait till the year turns over.

558
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:27.359
<v Speaker 8>I take care of it.

559
00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:31.680
<v Speaker 2>You know something that's not a bad idea, But there

560
00:30:31.839 --> 00:30:35.720
<v Speaker 2>is a moment I think psychologically where you wash the

561
00:30:35.839 --> 00:30:41.200
<v Speaker 2>slate clean and you say, okay, twenty twenty four. I

562
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:43.640
<v Speaker 2>mean that is so much in my rear view mirror

563
00:30:43.799 --> 00:30:48.039
<v Speaker 2>right now. I'm on to twenty twenty five.

564
00:30:49.079 --> 00:30:50.599
<v Speaker 8>Now I move on to the next year. I just

565
00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:51.759
<v Speaker 8>don't take the baggage with me.

566
00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:53.319
<v Speaker 9>I embrace my perfection.

567
00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:57.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know something, maybe that's that's that's a subconscious

568
00:30:57.960 --> 00:30:59.559
<v Speaker 2>resolution when you think about it.

569
00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:02.160
<v Speaker 8>Yes, yeah, they are behind me, but I don't I

570
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:03.880
<v Speaker 8>don't sit there and go, oh my gosh, what do

571
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:05.680
<v Speaker 8>I have to change this year? I don't it just

572
00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:09.319
<v Speaker 8>because I I think a lot of it probably wouldn't happen.

573
00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:11.720
<v Speaker 2>No, but I think a lot of people when when

574
00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:14.400
<v Speaker 2>the year changes, if they've had a bad year, they

575
00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:17.640
<v Speaker 2>feel great. Uh, you know that the stress of twenty

576
00:31:17.799 --> 00:31:20.519
<v Speaker 2>twenty four hypothetically is gone. And if it was a

577
00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:23.039
<v Speaker 2>great year, you know, it was the year that that

578
00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:25.400
<v Speaker 2>your first child was born, or you got married, or

579
00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:28.359
<v Speaker 2>you fell in love. Uh, you don't want that year

580
00:31:28.400 --> 00:31:30.880
<v Speaker 2>to end. It's like, you know, wait a second, but

581
00:31:31.119 --> 00:31:33.160
<v Speaker 2>all it is is just another sunrise when you think

582
00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:33.480
<v Speaker 2>about it.

583
00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:36.920
<v Speaker 9>Oh, exactly, yeah, time move on.

584
00:31:38.000 --> 00:31:41.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, No, I'm totally I'm totally with you in that regard.

585
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:44.480
<v Speaker 2>So you've never made a resolution, huh? Never made a

586
00:31:44.519 --> 00:31:45.240
<v Speaker 2>New Year's restirace?

587
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:47.240
<v Speaker 8>You know, maybe when we were kids and it was

588
00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:50.559
<v Speaker 8>like either wouldn't said a second, Grady fight something, So

589
00:31:50.680 --> 00:31:52.839
<v Speaker 8>everyone told me had to make a resolution. So he said, fine,

590
00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:55.799
<v Speaker 8>there's like resolution. I mean maybe one of your kids,

591
00:31:56.119 --> 00:31:59.880
<v Speaker 8>but it wouldn't probably have been anything serious. And again,

592
00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:04.440
<v Speaker 8>now I just don't if they work out it at

593
00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:04.720
<v Speaker 8>the time.

594
00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:08.319
<v Speaker 2>A quick question here because I always want to talk

595
00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:10.400
<v Speaker 2>to you, particularly on a Friday night. I like to

596
00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:13.279

<v Speaker 2>And she said yeah. So there were a couple of

637
00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:20.239
<v Speaker 2>people who work for another another shot will He's a

638
00:34:20.320 --> 00:34:24.599
<v Speaker 2>showy w W. Yeah, you got it. He's a great

639
00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:26.039
<v Speaker 2>little guy, great little guy.

640
00:34:26.559 --> 00:34:26.840
<v Speaker 3>Lawya.

641
00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:30.760
<v Speaker 2>I hope the weather clears up for you. But I

642
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:32.800
<v Speaker 2>think we're we're in the midst of winter now and

643
00:34:32.920 --> 00:34:33.960
<v Speaker 2>there's no turning back.

644
00:34:34.920 --> 00:34:37.519
<v Speaker 8>No, but you know what I'll take because last last

645
00:34:37.599 --> 00:34:39.880
<v Speaker 8>winter it kind of did its minor thing and then

646
00:34:39.880 --> 00:34:42.119
<v Speaker 8>all of a sudden we get three ft snow.

647
00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:42.559
<v Speaker 6>Dumped on us.

648
00:34:42.639 --> 00:34:45.559
<v Speaker 8>So I'll take this over, you know, a foot of

649
00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:46.280
<v Speaker 8>snow every day.

650
00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:49.599
<v Speaker 2>So yeah. Well, the problem is that when it gets

651
00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:52.800
<v Speaker 2>as you know, being a New Englander, when it gets

652
00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:55.440
<v Speaker 2>really cold in New England for a number of days,

653
00:34:56.519 --> 00:35:00.920
<v Speaker 2>you know that something's cooking up there and is a storm.

654
00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:04.519
<v Speaker 8>So uh yeah, and it might it might spy south

655
00:35:04.519 --> 00:35:06.719
<v Speaker 8>of you guys, but it's coming east, I can guarantee.

656
00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

657
00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:09.159
<v Speaker 2>Well, yeah, that's that's what they're saying. They're saying that

658
00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:12.760
<v Speaker 2>the mid Atlantic States. You know, remember when we got

659
00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:16.320
<v Speaker 2>killed back in twenty four twenty fifteen, the year before

660
00:35:16.360 --> 00:35:19.000
<v Speaker 2>the mid Atlantic States took the front of it. So

661
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:21.679
<v Speaker 2>this might be a repeat of twenty fourteen for the

662
00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:24.840
<v Speaker 2>mid Atlantic States. We'll see what happened. Yeah, Laura, I

<v Speaker 2>That's a great resolution.

760
00:39:55.800 --> 00:39:56.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

<v Speaker 2>I'm down wow goody well please please please please, uh

765
00:40:11.760 --> 00:40:13.599

766
00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:17.719
<v Speaker 2>if you get a chance, there's there's a few tricks

767
00:40:18.360 --> 00:40:22.239
<v Speaker 2>to the trade. You know, keep drinking water, knock off

768
00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:24.480
<v Speaker 2>you know the foods that that you got to knock off,

769
00:40:24.599 --> 00:40:28.599
<v Speaker 2>knock them off, and weigh yourself every morning and every night,

770
00:40:29.559 --> 00:40:30.559
<v Speaker 2>and you will learn.

771
00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:34.679
<v Speaker 11>I used to do the wait last morning. I loved it,

772
00:40:34.760 --> 00:40:37.960
<v Speaker 11>but I got so expensive and they moved. I was

773
00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:43.360
<v Speaker 11>the one in Newton. Yeah, I enjoyed that program.

774
00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:47.159
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, here's the thing. Here's the thing, as

775
00:40:47.239 --> 00:40:50.719
<v Speaker 2>I told Manny earlier in the in the hour, once

776
00:40:50.760 --> 00:40:52.519
<v Speaker 2>you're in it, you're in it for life. And it

777
00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:55.360
<v Speaker 2>doesn't cost any additional money. So if you want to

778
00:40:55.440 --> 00:40:58.480
<v Speaker 2>go back just for the fun of it and and

779
00:40:58.639 --> 00:41:01.480
<v Speaker 2>renew the relationship, you let me know and we'll make

780
00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:04.480
<v Speaker 2>it happen. Okay, but everyone has a right to do it.

781
00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:08.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm serious. You know you can go back, get the

782
00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:09.840
<v Speaker 2>way in and everything will work out great.

783
00:41:09.880 --> 00:41:14.239
<v Speaker 11>Okay, Okay, how's Billy doing by you will?

<v Speaker 2>a side a side gig?

802
00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:04.320
