Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's nice Eyes with Dan Ray. I'm going crazy Bondon's
News Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Well, good evening everyone. This is September tenth, twenty twenty five,
and it's one of those days that we as a
nation need to again mourn a victim of political assassination.
I don't care necessarily what you thought of Charlie Kirk's politics.
(00:26):
He was a conservative, the founder CEO of Turning Point
USA CEO and co founder of that organization, and he
was a smart white guy who was a shot to
death today in Utah. He was on the first stop
of what was called by his organization, the fourteen City
(00:47):
American Comeback Tour. We will talk about the impact of
Charlie Kirk and give you an opportunity in the next
hour and maybe longer to talk about this him, to
talk about Charlie Kirk, but also to talk about what
(01:07):
is going on in America right now. And I feel
very strongly that we better tone the rhetoric down on
both sides. Well, we're going to see more examples of
political assassinations now. Normally in this hour we interview four
guests that we will interview those four guests. We are
not ignoring what happened in Utah today, but we are
(01:28):
following it. The newsroom is following it. There apparently is
now a person of interest that is in custody. So
we will have newscasts, we will have CBS cut ins
at the bottom of the hour, and we will follow
this throughout the night as we do always on WBC
News Radio. So please stay with us if you're interested,

Send us your personalized audio message has to be under
thirty seconds and it has to be respectful and obviously
(02:14):
within the standards of the FCC, and we'll play it
back on nightside. So if you want to send one
this hour, we might be playing some of those at
the top of the nine o'clock news, when we will
at the top of the nine o'clock hour, after the
nine o'clock news, when we will get into this this
American tragedy today. I guess I'm at Yankee Stadium tonight.
(02:34):
There was a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk. And
it doesn't matter whether the person is liberal, conservative, Republican
or Democrat, whether it's a congressman woman from Arizona, Gabby Giffords,
or it's a political activist, or if it's a Congressman
from Louisiana, Steve Scales. And we've just had too much
(02:56):
of this now having send my piece on that, I
want to get to our first guest. His name is
John Zoller. John, Welcome to Nightside. How are you tonight?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Well, I'm doing I'm doing all right, Dan, considering the circumstances.
Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Well yeah again, I you know, we schedule you folks
in advance, and I felt it was important to stick
with our normal programming. But we will spend a lot
of time talking about that later. I was I was
kidding with my producer. I said, this Claude money guy.
Didn't he play for the Canadians And I think he
finished his career with the Ruins. We're not talking we're
(03:33):
not talking about a hockey player, but what a great
hockey player named Claude Monet would be, but of course
he was the great impressionist of the nineteenth century. And
the Immersive Experience is opening in Worcester tomorrow, September eleventh.
You're the executive producer of exhibition Hub Claude Monet. The
(03:55):
Immersive Experience tell us about what people will see, when
and where they have to go to see it in Worcester.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Well, we're right downtown in Worcester, right at ninety Front Street,
so it's really easy to get through from anywhere in
Central Mass, Eastern Mass, Western Mass. It's really centrally located.
Claud Mone The Immersive Experience is what it says it is.
It's a complete immersion into the world and the artworks
(04:26):
and the mindset and the times of Claude Monet. So
the big thing about the Immersive Experience is the immersive
Gallery where over four hundred of Monet's works come to
life like never before in using digital animation in a
thirty five minute show. And it's surrounded by a series
of other galleries where you learn about the artists, you
(04:47):
explore his hotelier, you walk his gardens at Jiebernie, and
you also through virtual reality, can see the artists paintings
come to life with your very own eyes.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Now, is this you're opening in Worcester? How long will
it be running? Is this one that's going to be
there for just a week or so or will it
be there for longer? We hope it.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I hope it's going to be there through the holidays.
It's uh, we just had our van Go Immersive experience
closing Worcester recently. It's the same one that was at
the Strand Theater in Dorchester a few years back, and
it's people are really drawn to art, art and art
(05:33):
immersive shows. And I think that you know, with everything
that you're talking about tonight, we need art more than
ever to help us center ourselves and help us find
an inspiration from someone who did spend so much time
expressing themselves and also find that inner artist within you.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
So clarify for me if you will, how long and
there was obviously you hope to have go through the holidays?
Is that how long will actually we all open for?
In other words, I don't want someone to say, well,
we'll go there Christmas Day or Christmas Eve or a
week before Christmas? How long will it be open for
for sure? Or do you do you sort of go
(06:15):
on a week to week basis. I'm not you know,
I know what a baseball schedule looks like. I can
tell you who the Red Sox are playing on September
fifteenth or April eleventh, But tell me how you work
so my audience can make maximize the chance of getting there.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
So the best way to check the availability is to
go to moneexpo dot com. We typically set up our
tickets in about a six week time block. Gotcha, and
as the you know, as we watch the performance, we say, hey,
people like this, people more people want to come. We'll
continue opening those up with enough time for you to
(06:51):
plan in advance. It is my hope that we stay
through the holidays because it's such a great experience going
to Monet's hotelier, going through his garden Giberne and so
be a great holiday experience, a great a great get together.
We've got some event spaces in there too where people
can have private events. There's great school programming as well.
So as far as the timing goes, the best place
(07:13):
to always check for that is on the on the
website money expo dot com. But again, we had a
great run with with Van Goh so I'm really hopeful
that we'll have a similar interest in Monet.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Okay, so monetexpo dot com. Uh as your address remains
the same ninety front straight how many different of these? Again,
I'm not familiar. So I asked questions that the perhaps
the average person wants to ask, how many artists have
you done this sort of immersive expo experience for? Is
(07:48):
it van Go and Monet at this point or is
this something that's been going on in Worcester for some time?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
So in Worcester we featured van Go first and then
we all and now we're opening money Exhibition Hub does
have a couple other immersive shows based on artists Gustav
klimped Salvador Dolli. So again, it's a it's a format
that on these huge walls and these big immersive rooms
(08:18):
where the art you experience the art in a way
that you don't experience it if you're even looking at
the painting in the museum, even though all the museums
are where our inspiration comes from. But we wanted to
bring the art, bring the artwork to life in a
way that is that also honors the work itself.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
So a is this a new form of presentation. I
frankly I know more about hockey players than they do
about artists. I'm only joking when I say that, I
certainly know who Claude Monet is. But I'm just wondering,
is this a new form? I remember when they had
the they have the Titanic. Uh, they have the they
had the Titanic exhibit in Boston. I think that may
(08:58):
still be going on. And then they also have the
Tom Hanks Walk on the Moon exhibit, which sounds to
me like it's kind of similar to this. It's it's
the stage, the walls are covered around you, so the
experiencing the experience is immersive. Is this a new form
of you know, digital presentation. I don't know what what
(09:19):
words I should use to to ask the question.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I would it's a relatively new form in this In
this format, I mean, there's there's all kinds of ways
that when people use the word immersive that it can
be used. So really, an immersive experience is something that
you are completely engrossed in but with and that's and
that's what happens, especially in the immersive room at Club Winning.
(09:46):
The immersive experience is you're completely wrapped in his works,
they're digitally projected on three sixty on the walls and
on the floor, and those paintings are just washing over you.
So in that sense, since really twenty twenty one, this
idea of projection on walls has become associated with the
(10:07):
word immersive experience. Perfect because a lot of producers around
the country and around the world have taken works of
art and projected them on walls and on the floor.
What we like to do is take it a step
beyond that, where you are immersed in the sets, you're
immersed in the learning about the artists, and then the
virtual reality where you can actually see the world through
(10:30):
the artist's eyes as a really special end of the show.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Well it sounds great, John Zolla, thank you so much.
The executive producer of the exhibition hub, Claude Monet, And
again you can go to Monetexpo dot com and get
some tickets and certainly for a minimum of six weeks,
maybe a whole lot longer, you can see this experience.
Claude Monee, the Immersive Experience at ninety Front Street. Thanks
(10:55):
for explaining it tonight. I do appreciate it, and again
I wish I could be a little more upbeat tonight
of the context of what's been going on in America today.
But I think you handled this very well for us.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Thank you very much, John Well, Dan, I appreciate you
having me on such a difficult day.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Thank you, thank you. When we get back, we're going
to talk about an Irish music dance sensation that will
tap its way into your hearts but also into Massachusetts
and New Hampshire this month. A Taste of Ireland dance
team will give you all the information you need to know.
They're going to be an Andover and Worcester and Plymouth
(11:33):
conquered in Manchester, New Hampshire. Will be back on night
Side right after the break.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You're on night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Well, as I mentioned earlier, when we'll be talking about
the murder of political activist Charlie Kirk during the after
the nine o'clock news, But before we deal with a
pretty difficult and frankly subject, I want to talk about
Irish music dance sensation which taps its way into Massachusetts
(12:06):
in New Hampshire this month. With me is Brittany Pim.
She's a dancer and a member of the Taste of
Ireland Dance Team Brittany Pim Welcome to Nightside. How are you.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
I'm good, Thank you, thank you for having me.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
The program is called A Taste of Ireland Irish the
Irish music and dance sensation. You're gonna spend a lot
here in Massachusetts. You're up in New Hampshire and we'll
go through these dates a little bit more detailed a
couple of times, and then back here in Massachusetts, in
andover Worcester and Plymouth, Massachusetts. Tell us how long has
(12:46):
A Taste of Ireland been operational? I mean, all of
us know about River Dance, but tell us how Taste
of Ireland is either similar or different.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
From Yeah, So the company started I think back in
about twenty twelve, but we only made our debut into America.
I think it was about two or three years ago.
So it's been really good kind of bringing it over
over to the state here, and we've been touring pretty
NonStop over here for a while now, which has been
really good. And I think, you know, A Taste Island
(13:19):
it's different in its own way, you know. We have
we like to say we have the crack on stage,
which just means Irish word for fun, So you know,
we really try and get the audiences involved, and you know,
we have a great time on stage ourselves as well,
so I think that that kind of translates to the audience.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Brittany, how long have you have you been a dancer
and a member of it? Maybe you've been a dancer
longer than you've been a member of Taste of Ireland.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
I've been dancing since I was about six years old,
so that's nearly about twenty years now. But I joined
with the Taste of Island in twenty nineteen and then
I've been touring full time for about four or five
years now.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Okay, so you tour it America. Is America a place
that is particularly attractive to Irish dance teams or do
you also tour in the British Isles, in Ireland and
maybe in other parts of Europe? How far do you
do you stray from the old said?
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Yeah, we've actually toured in Australia and New Zealand. We
just came from Ireland in the UK with our very
first Irish shows and we just performed on the West
End and then obviously all around America. But it's been great.
I feel like the American audiences some of our best
you know, they really get involved and they really kind
of have a love for the Irish as well.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I feel, well, there's a lot of us who are Irish.
I have dual citizenship.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
My grandparents were born in Oh Amazing, so.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yeah, my family traces its roots. And actually I've been
to I don't know well, County Cork, but there's a
town there called Mallow, about twenty miles north of Cork
City on the Blackwater River. You don't happen to be
from that neck of the woods, do you.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
No.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
But About Dances actually is from not too far from Mallow,
and I spent a bit of time there over the outbreak.
So it's really that's a very small world. It's really
not there.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Well, I worked in television and I worked many stories
in the Republic of Ireland as well as well as
Northern Ireland, and one night, one of my best memories
as a TV reporter of thirty one years was having
dinner at Ivy House on Saint Stephen's Green with the
then Prime Minister Charlie Haughey and about ten or twelve
(15:32):
other people as well as my crew. So I have great,
great memories of Ireland, and I actually took listeners back
to Ireland.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
It was.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Two years ago this very month, in September of twenty
twenty three. We had a great We had a great time.
So let's talk about the locales here. How long is
the show? By the way, if I could ask how long,
just run.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
It's in two halves and we've got a twenty minute intermission,
so it's about two hours long.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Okay. The other thing is that this has to be
you're a dancer, but you also have to have the
strength of an athlete because people might not understand the
amount of you know, work that's that is done. How
do you keep it going night after night after night.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Yeah, it's definitely. It's very physically demanding. And one of
our producers likes to say, you have to be as
pretty as a ballerina, but as athletic as a you know,
as a football player. You know, you really there is
a real strong of athleticism that you have to have,
and it's also a lot of you know, you do
have to look after your body and look after yourself
and recovery is a big thing while on the road.
(16:48):
You know, we do show that night after night, so
looking after your body and stretching and everything like that
is so important.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Okay, So you folks are going to be in Conquered
New Hampshire on the four fourteenth of September. You will
be in Manchester the September twentieth, and then you come
down to Massachusetts. You're in andover Massachusetts and September twenty fifth,
Worcester on September twenty sixth, Plymouth on September twenty eighth. Now,
(17:18):
what is the website that people need to go to
to figure out how their schedule can intersect with yours.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Yeah, you can go to a Taste of islandshow dot
com and you can get all of your tickets from that.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
So say that a little bit more slowly. A taste
of Ireland.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Worth a taste of irelandshow dot com.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Spell that word after Ireland for me if you would,
A taste of Ireland show show okay, show show Okay,
Ireland show okay. Great. Thank you so much. I really
appreciated the opportunity to talk with you and say hello
(18:00):
to the member of the dance troupe who is from Malow,
from near Mallow.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
I will do, I will do. Thank you for having me.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
You're welcome, Brittany, Thank you very much. Okay, and about
thirty seconds, Rob check me if I'm wrong on that.
We're going to be taking a CBS cut in the
top story of the day is the political assassination of
Charlie Kirk, conservative activist, very important member of the Trump
(18:30):
election team in twenty twenty four and President Trump is
ordered the flags before home be flown at half half
staff in his honor. So we'll be back right after
that with two more guests.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
It's Night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Again. We will follow the political assassination story later on,
but we are continuing with our regular hour and I
am absolutely delighted to We don't have too many Broadway
superstars on this program, but we have one. Tonight, Mandy
Gonzales will join Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops to
(19:09):
perform Lynn Manuel Morandez. Everything I Know, premiers here in
Boston at Boston Symphony Hall on September twentieth. Mandy Gonzalez,

Speaker 5 (19:33):
Oh good evening. I'm so delighted to be here. And
thank you for calling me a Broadway superstar. I'll take it.

Speaker 5 (19:43):
Yeah, I've definitely done the trifecta, Hamilton in the Heights, Wicked.
I just feel so lucky and blessed to live the
life that I lived.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Oh. Absolutely, Were you one of these precocious children who
had five or six knew this is the life you
wanted to lead.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Absolutely?
Speaker 5 (20:05):
I sang all the time, and yeah, there were actually
rules in my house like no singing at the table,
no singing after a certain time. And I know that
your listeners probably have those kids that are in their
house right now, and just know that, uh, it does
get better and we do we do do things.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
That is that is so great. So you're going to
be in Boston. Have you performed with the Boston Symphony
with the Boston Pops before?
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Yes? I have.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
I have performed with the Boston Pops on July fourth,
and then I yes, yes, and then I have performed
with them at Kinglewood, and I have done another performance
with them at Symphony Hall, but this is my first
solo performance and I'm so excited. I you know, the
Boston Pops is just legendary, the best players ever, and
(21:02):
Keith Lockhart is you know, one of a million, and
I'm just I feel so lucky to be able to
debut this show with.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Them and with you guys.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Well, you know Keith has been on this program. He's
a great person and someone who's so talented. Obviously John
Williams was before him, and before John Williams, the legendary
Arthur Fiedler, and I've seen all of them and your
appearance here. It's September twentieth, is it one night.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
September twentieth, One night only September twentieth, And it's going
to be celebrating the music of lin Manuel Miranda and
so there will be music that you will recognize from
Broadway shows like Hamilton in the Heights Bring It On
the Musical, and there will be music from films that
he's done like Encanto and Vivo and Milana. So it's
(22:02):
really going to be a family filled, joyful celebration. So
I can't wait for people to hear it.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Well, I don't have a calendar in front of me,
but I think I just did the math in September
twentieth is a Saturday night, it is.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
It's a good night to go out.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Oh, absolutely right. I'm surprised. I hope there are some
tickets available for people to once they've heard you tonight.
I have to I always ask people. I worked in
TV here in Boston as a television reporter for right, Well,
I actually began at the Truth be Known a full.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Time the truth.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I'm not going to I will tell you the truth
the month that you've born. So it's been a long time.
So I did thirty in TV, and I've been doing
this show for eighteen years. But that show business is
nothing compared to the show business that you have. My
question to performers like you, and I always asked this question.
I can call in sick if I'm sick, or if
(23:05):
my throat is just horrible, I can yes sick night.
How can you night after night? Particularly on Broadway, we
recently saw a play here, Come from Away.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Oh fabulous, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
It's a great play, it is, really. We saw it
here on Cape Cod and the Dennis Playhouse. I don't
know if you've ever worked at the Dennis.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Playhouse, but I haven't.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
You know, I just went to the Cape for the
first time. I think two years ago. That was my
first time there. You know, I'm from California, but I've
lived in New York a really long time and I
finally made it out to I went to Provincetown. That's
part of the Cape, right, Yeah, that's the.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Hot that is the the end of the Cape. After Provincetown,
it's England or Ireland or the Atlantication whatever.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
But I went to a lobster pot and I have
to say it was definitely a highlight of the trip.
But to go into the water, that water is just
there's nothing like it, and the rocks and everything. I
just I loved it so much.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Just you just don't be petting the seals out there
because the seals are attract the shocks. That's the only
step I will give you.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
But no, in the movies the Broadway, there was a
pretty successful movie Jaws, if I if I recall, But
it is such an experience the theater and when you
don't go as often, you know, I'll go a couple
of times a year, and every time I think myself
and say, why don't am I not there more often?
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Because I still have a job here and I have
to do it. Yes, a little bit of a problem there,
but this is going to be a great event. Do
you get to Boston a lot or no?
Speaker 7 (24:56):
No?
Speaker 5 (24:57):
You know that's why I love. I love doing concert.
I love going out two different cities. I love coming
to Boston and singing with you know, the one and
only Boston Pops. Because it's hard to get to a
Broadway show, it's hard to get to New York. It's
it's hard to go and see a show in your
own town just to make the time. But you know,
(25:18):
it's so important to have those nights out with your
family and your loved ones and just to sing along
and to remember songs that that will make you maybe
take you back to a time or or make you
think like, oh my gosh, I've listened to this album
so many times, and now I get to see this
person live. So that's why it's so important for me
to to travel and to see these these incredible cities
(25:43):
and meet the incredible fans. But I also just love
to meet people and talk and and learn about new things.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Well, I can hear it in your voice. You're a
great interview. From my perspective, I will tell you, I
know that if you did the Boston Pops July Life,
well you must you must remember the fireworks ran one night.
I actually did a story from the firework barge.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
My gosh.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Oh yeah. It was just a different perspective, Mandy.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
I'm sure it was.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
You know, there was nothing. There was nothing like it,
you know, to see everybody just out and picnicking, like
you know, tailgating. Everybody has their thing, they do it
every year. And right before I think it was maybe
like a couple hours before it rained, and so everything
was like, is it gonna stop raining, is it not
gonna stop raining? Are we gonna do it? And so
(26:37):
you know, to go up there and it was still
wet on the ground, but everybody was waiting for for that,
and uh, you know to see a part of that,
you know, legacy of Boston. You know, it was really cool.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
As long as the stage is dry, that's the one.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
That's what they say. The mics are dry, We're good.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Uh man be Gonzalez, thank you very much. Boston Pops.
Uh with Keith Lockhart to perform, amongst others, Lyn, Manuel,
Mirandaz everything I know. It will be on September twentieth
at Boston Symphony Hall. And if I were you, I
would go to the telephone right now, don't wait till
tomorrow morning if you want to see Mandy Gonzalez and
(27:16):
you're sound like a really fun person. Mandy, thank you
so much for you.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
Oh, thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Welcome to Boston, Come back soon, come back off and
thanks so much. She's great. That was fun, That really
was fun. Okay, when we get back after the break,
we're going to talk the latest rage in terms of
I think food in caloric intyke is protein. I'm going
to talk with Paul Fulford. He's a healthy living expert
(27:43):
with a company called sign A Sure Lutronic. We'll explain
what that all means and also he'll answer the question
what happens if I eat too much protein? No, you
won't become superman, but we'll get an answer to that.
Coming back on Night.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Side, It's Night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Well, if you haven't noticed, protein is everywhere tout. It
is a key to weight loss, muscle game again, overall fitness.
Protein is a new cultural obsession. But how much do
we really need protein in our Americans overall? Getting enough
with a normal diet. Healthy living expert Paul Fulford joins us. Paul,
welcome tonight, Seed. How are you.
Speaker 7 (28:25):
I'm doing well?
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Thank you for having me.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Dan.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
You're with a company called Sino Sure Eleutronic. That sounds
like an electric electrical company. I'm sure it's not. Tell
us what does Sino Sure Eleutronic do?
Speaker 7 (28:41):
So, we're actually headquartered in Boston and the Boston area
in Westford, and we provide medical asthetics systems, right, so devices.
There's a particular device that goes really well with the
GLP ones currently which is called acuphit that builds muscle
having to work out, getting rid of pigment, vascularity, fine lines,
(29:05):
and wrinkles. And so the company makes and manufactures these
devices and is headquartered here in the US.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Wow. Okay, so that is interesting of itself. We'll give
that website in case folks would like to look at
some of the products you will offer. But you're also
a healthy living expert and we're talking about protein. I
know what protein is. I think most of our listeners.
How is it that now people are always thinking about
(29:38):
protein intake and they need more protein and less carbohydrates.
Is this a passing fat or is it something to
this theory?
Speaker 7 (29:47):
There's definitely something to it, right. I think one of
the things we've all kind of recently, if not not recently,
but it's been proven, was the food groups that we
were all taught growing up are not really you know,
the standard airic and diet is not really the best thing.
And you know, I think the biggest reason why it's
in everyone's face now is because of all the glp ones,
(30:10):
the ozempic, the Manjarro's right that people are taking to
basically put themselves on a clure deficit. And you know,
if you're trying to lose weight, you do want to
satiate yourself more with protein than with carbs.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Right.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
We still need carbs for energy because it converts the sugar,
but we also need protein for energy, particularly our muscles.
And it's in everybody's face now because everybody's now slapping
these protein labels on their on their marketing, and I
think that it's one of those things that people just
really need a little bit more slight education to understand
what's good protein for them and what's not good protein
(30:47):
for them?
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Okay, so give me some examples of good protein and
give us me some examples. I'm not a big protein guy.
Uh I'm a I'm a gym guy, and uh I'm not.
I don't like that pilled diets when I endorse a
product called Awaken one e, which my audience understands, which
does help people adjust their diet. But I'm curious. Give
(31:11):
us the good proteins and the and the not so
good proteins.
Speaker 7 (31:15):
Well, your your good proteins are always going to be
your animal source proteins, right, Your your your salmon, your beef,
your chicken, they're you know, and again gain somebody that's
you know, in healthy living, anti and anti aging. What
I do for a living right is that collagen protein
(31:35):
is one of those things that you see touted now, right,
it's going to help you. There's an indexing score based
on like the amount of effective protein that is going
to be drawn from each food source. And you only
really utilize eight percent of collagen protein versus ninety to
one hundred percent of animal protein, right, so you have
(31:57):
to eat so much more of the protein from a
collagen perspective. Versus that. Food wise, you know, bread has
protein in it, but it's only fifty percent of the
value that you need as far as good protein is concerned.
So you can get proteins from other sources other than meat,
but is it going to be the most effective protein
(32:19):
for you?
Speaker 2 (32:21):
So does that vary the application of what you just said,
Is that would vary from person to person, gender to gender,
age to age, or is it a standard that everyone
can follow?
Speaker 7 (32:33):
It is a standard, you know. Basically, the rule of
thumb is you should eat the amount of you know,
grams of protein that you want to have as your
ideal weight. So if you were, you know, two hundred
pounds and you want to be one hundred and ninety pounds,
you seet one hundred ninety grams of protein, right, So
(32:56):
it's about you know that in the recommended daily into
you know, is TEP typically a lot lower than that.
And I think when people look at governmental, you know, guidelines,
they need to remember that the goal is basically suggested
so that people are avoiding the minimum deficiencies.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Right.
Speaker 7 (33:17):
It's not something that you know, it's just about if
you were just sitting stagnant on the couch all day
that's enough to keep you alive, but it's not enough
to thrive and have longevity and good energy.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Sure, So is there a go to spot with your
company or somewhere else that you could recommend? Because I'm
sure that a lot of what we've just talked about
has gone by most of most of my listeners unless
they were in a position to take notes. Uh, there
is there go to information at your company's signed as
your elutronic. Where can we send folks?
Speaker 5 (33:53):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (33:53):
Well, definitely have a I have a podcast called Optimized Outcomes,
which is basically a blending of all of these things
where it's biofunctional aesthetic medicine, where it's biology, biohackening, functional
medicine and medical aesthetics all come into play here. And
it's one of those. Uh we talked about it on
the on the on the podcast, so it Optimized Outcomes.
(34:16):
It's on Apple podcasts, uh, YouTube and Spotify perfect.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Okay, Well that's a It's a good place for for
folks to start and continue to read. Want to give
us the h The website for Sino suore sin a Sureleutronic.
Speaker 7 (34:32):
Sure, it's uh Sino shore c y n O s
U R E loutronic l U t R O n
I C dot com.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Sounds great. Paul Fulford, I appreciate your time tonight. It's fascinating. Again,
I am I totally am on board with you. I'm
I'm again I'm a little bit concerned about the folks
who are relying so heavily upon the pills. You've got
to do the work, whether it's in the gym or
pushing back from the table too. That's what it's all about,
(35:03):
and understanding what you're eating. It's really one you finally,
when you finally figure it out, it works. It works. Paul,
thank you so much. I appreciate your time. We'll talk again.
Speaker 7 (35:14):
Thank you again, Dan, You're very welcome.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
When we get back, right after the nine o'clock news,
we're going to talk about what happened today in orm Utah,
at that college out there in Utah, in which Charlie Kirk,
at thirty one years of age, a son, a husband,
a father of two, shot to death. One shot. At
this point there is still no one in custody and
(35:39):
no person of interest. That's the latest I just saw.
We'll bring up the date on the news and we're
going to talk about it. This stuff has to stop.
My name's Dan Ray. This is Nightside. We'll be back
right after the nine
It's nice Eyes with Dan Ray. I'm going crazy Bondon's
News Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Well, good evening everyone. This is September tenth, twenty twenty five,
and it's one of those days that we as a
nation need to again mourn a victim of political assassination.
I don't care necessarily what you thought of Charlie Kirk's politics.
(00:26):
He was a conservative, the founder CEO of Turning Point
USA CEO and co founder of that organization, and he
was a smart white guy who was a shot to
death today in Utah. He was on the first stop
of what was called by his organization, the fourteen City
(00:47):
American Comeback Tour. We will talk about the impact of
Charlie Kirk and give you an opportunity in the next
hour and maybe longer to talk about this him, to
talk about Charlie Kirk, but also to talk about what
(01:07):
is going on in America right now. And I feel
very strongly that we better tone the rhetoric down on
both sides. Well, we're going to see more examples of
political assassinations now. Normally in this hour we interview four
guests that we will interview those four guests. We are
not ignoring what happened in Utah today, but we are
(01:28):
following it. The newsroom is following it. There apparently is
now a person of interest that is in custody. So
we will have newscasts, we will have CBS cut ins
at the bottom of the hour, and we will follow
this throughout the night as we do always on WBC
News Radio. So please stay with us if you're interested,
if you want to express an opinion or comment, you
(01:52):
are more than welcome to utilize right now our talk
back feature in the Art Radio app. Just have to
download and have the free Ieartradio app availab. While listening
to Night SAT whatever you're listening during the day, tap
the red microphone talk back button in the top right corner.
Send us your personalized audio message has to be under
thirty seconds and it has to be respectful and obviously
(02:14):
within the standards of the FCC, and we'll play it
back on nightside. So if you want to send one
this hour, we might be playing some of those at
the top of the nine o'clock news, when we will
at the top of the nine o'clock hour, after the
nine o'clock news, when we will get into this this
American tragedy today. I guess I'm at Yankee Stadium tonight.
(02:34):
There was a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk. And
it doesn't matter whether the person is liberal, conservative, Republican
or Democrat, whether it's a congressman woman from Arizona, Gabby Giffords,
or it's a political activist, or if it's a Congressman
from Louisiana, Steve Scales. And we've just had too much
(02:56):
of this now having send my piece on that, I
want to get to our first guest. His name is
John Zoller. John, Welcome to Nightside. How are you tonight?
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Well, I'm doing I'm doing all right, Dan, considering the circumstances.
Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Well yeah again, I you know, we schedule you folks
in advance, and I felt it was important to stick
with our normal programming. But we will spend a lot
of time talking about that later. I was I was
kidding with my producer. I said, this Claude money guy.
Didn't he play for the Canadians And I think he
finished his career with the Ruins. We're not talking we're
(03:33):
not talking about a hockey player, but what a great
hockey player named Claude Monet would be, but of course
he was the great impressionist of the nineteenth century. And
the Immersive Experience is opening in Worcester tomorrow, September eleventh.
You're the executive producer of exhibition Hub Claude Monet. The
(03:55):
Immersive Experience tell us about what people will see, when
and where they have to go to see it in Worcester.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Well, we're right downtown in Worcester, right at ninety Front Street,
so it's really easy to get through from anywhere in
Central Mass, Eastern Mass, Western Mass. It's really centrally located.
Claud Mone The Immersive Experience is what it says it is.
It's a complete immersion into the world and the artworks
(04:26):
and the mindset and the times of Claude Monet. So
the big thing about the Immersive Experience is the immersive
Gallery where over four hundred of Monet's works come to
life like never before in using digital animation in a
thirty five minute show. And it's surrounded by a series
of other galleries where you learn about the artists, you
(04:47):
explore his hotelier, you walk his gardens at Jiebernie, and
you also through virtual reality, can see the artists paintings
come to life with your very own eyes.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Now, is this you're opening in Worcester? How long will
it be running? Is this one that's going to be
there for just a week or so or will it
be there for longer? We hope it.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I hope it's going to be there through the holidays.
It's uh, we just had our van Go Immersive experience
closing Worcester recently. It's the same one that was at
the Strand Theater in Dorchester a few years back, and
it's people are really drawn to art, art and art
(05:33):
immersive shows. And I think that you know, with everything
that you're talking about tonight, we need art more than
ever to help us center ourselves and help us find
an inspiration from someone who did spend so much time
expressing themselves and also find that inner artist within you.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
So clarify for me if you will, how long and
there was obviously you hope to have go through the holidays?
Is that how long will actually we all open for?
In other words, I don't want someone to say, well,
we'll go there Christmas Day or Christmas Eve or a
week before Christmas? How long will it be open for
for sure? Or do you do you sort of go
(06:15):
on a week to week basis. I'm not you know,
I know what a baseball schedule looks like. I can
tell you who the Red Sox are playing on September
fifteenth or April eleventh, But tell me how you work
so my audience can make maximize the chance of getting there.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
So the best way to check the availability is to
go to moneexpo dot com. We typically set up our
tickets in about a six week time block. Gotcha, and
as the you know, as we watch the performance, we say, hey,
people like this, people more people want to come. We'll
continue opening those up with enough time for you to
(06:51):
plan in advance. It is my hope that we stay
through the holidays because it's such a great experience going
to Monet's hotelier, going through his garden Giberne and so
be a great holiday experience, a great a great get together.
We've got some event spaces in there too where people
can have private events. There's great school programming as well.
So as far as the timing goes, the best place
(07:13):
to always check for that is on the on the
website money expo dot com. But again, we had a
great run with with Van Goh so I'm really hopeful
that we'll have a similar interest in Monet.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Okay, so monetexpo dot com. Uh as your address remains
the same ninety front straight how many different of these? Again,
I'm not familiar. So I asked questions that the perhaps
the average person wants to ask, how many artists have
you done this sort of immersive expo experience for? Is
(07:48):
it van Go and Monet at this point or is
this something that's been going on in Worcester for some time?
Speaker 3 (07:53):
So in Worcester we featured van Go first and then
we all and now we're opening money Exhibition Hub does
have a couple other immersive shows based on artists Gustav
klimped Salvador Dolli. So again, it's a it's a format
that on these huge walls and these big immersive rooms
(08:18):
where the art you experience the art in a way
that you don't experience it if you're even looking at
the painting in the museum, even though all the museums
are where our inspiration comes from. But we wanted to
bring the art, bring the artwork to life in a
way that is that also honors the work itself.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
So a is this a new form of presentation. I
frankly I know more about hockey players than they do
about artists. I'm only joking when I say that, I
certainly know who Claude Monet is. But I'm just wondering,
is this a new form? I remember when they had
the they have the Titanic. Uh, they have the they
had the Titanic exhibit in Boston. I think that may
(08:58):
still be going on. And then they also have the
Tom Hanks Walk on the Moon exhibit, which sounds to
me like it's kind of similar to this. It's it's
the stage, the walls are covered around you, so the
experiencing the experience is immersive. Is this a new form
of you know, digital presentation. I don't know what what
(09:19):
words I should use to to ask the question.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
I would it's a relatively new form in this In
this format, I mean, there's there's all kinds of ways
that when people use the word immersive that it can
be used. So really, an immersive experience is something that
you are completely engrossed in but with and that's and
that's what happens, especially in the immersive room at Club Winning.
(09:46):
The immersive experience is you're completely wrapped in his works,
they're digitally projected on three sixty on the walls and
on the floor, and those paintings are just washing over you.
So in that sense, since really twenty twenty one, this
idea of projection on walls has become associated with the
(10:07):
word immersive experience. Perfect because a lot of producers around
the country and around the world have taken works of
art and projected them on walls and on the floor.
What we like to do is take it a step
beyond that, where you are immersed in the sets, you're
immersed in the learning about the artists, and then the
virtual reality where you can actually see the world through
(10:30):
the artist's eyes as a really special end of the show.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Well it sounds great, John Zolla, thank you so much.
The executive producer of the exhibition hub, Claude Monet, And
again you can go to Monetexpo dot com and get
some tickets and certainly for a minimum of six weeks,
maybe a whole lot longer, you can see this experience.
Claude Monee, the Immersive Experience at ninety Front Street. Thanks
(10:55):
for explaining it tonight. I do appreciate it, and again
I wish I could be a little more upbeat tonight
of the context of what's been going on in America today.
But I think you handled this very well for us.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
Thank you very much, John Well, Dan, I appreciate you
having me on such a difficult day.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Thank you, thank you. When we get back, we're going
to talk about an Irish music dance sensation that will
tap its way into your hearts but also into Massachusetts
and New Hampshire this month. A Taste of Ireland dance
team will give you all the information you need to know.
They're going to be an Andover and Worcester and Plymouth
(11:33):
conquered in Manchester, New Hampshire. Will be back on night
Side right after the break.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You're on night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Well, as I mentioned earlier, when we'll be talking about
the murder of political activist Charlie Kirk during the after
the nine o'clock news, But before we deal with a
pretty difficult and frankly subject, I want to talk about
Irish music dance sensation which taps its way into Massachusetts
(12:06):
in New Hampshire this month. With me is Brittany Pim.
She's a dancer and a member of the Taste of
Ireland Dance Team Brittany Pim Welcome to Nightside. How are you.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
I'm good, Thank you, thank you for having me.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
The program is called A Taste of Ireland Irish the
Irish music and dance sensation. You're gonna spend a lot
here in Massachusetts. You're up in New Hampshire and we'll
go through these dates a little bit more detailed a
couple of times, and then back here in Massachusetts, in
andover Worcester and Plymouth, Massachusetts. Tell us how long has
(12:46):
A Taste of Ireland been operational? I mean, all of
us know about River Dance, but tell us how Taste
of Ireland is either similar or different.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
From Yeah, So the company started I think back in
about twenty twelve, but we only made our debut into America.
I think it was about two or three years ago.
So it's been really good kind of bringing it over
over to the state here, and we've been touring pretty
NonStop over here for a while now, which has been
really good. And I think, you know, A Taste Island
(13:19):
it's different in its own way, you know. We have
we like to say we have the crack on stage,
which just means Irish word for fun, So you know,
we really try and get the audiences involved, and you know,
we have a great time on stage ourselves as well,
so I think that that kind of translates to the audience.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Brittany, how long have you have you been a dancer
and a member of it? Maybe you've been a dancer
longer than you've been a member of Taste of Ireland.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
I've been dancing since I was about six years old,
so that's nearly about twenty years now. But I joined
with the Taste of Island in twenty nineteen and then
I've been touring full time for about four or five
years now.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Okay, so you tour it America. Is America a place
that is particularly attractive to Irish dance teams or do
you also tour in the British Isles, in Ireland and
maybe in other parts of Europe? How far do you
do you stray from the old said?
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Yeah, we've actually toured in Australia and New Zealand. We
just came from Ireland in the UK with our very
first Irish shows and we just performed on the West
End and then obviously all around America. But it's been great.
I feel like the American audiences some of our best
you know, they really get involved and they really kind
of have a love for the Irish as well.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I feel, well, there's a lot of us who are Irish.
I have dual citizenship.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
My grandparents were born in Oh Amazing, so.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
Yeah, my family traces its roots. And actually I've been
to I don't know well, County Cork, but there's a
town there called Mallow, about twenty miles north of Cork
City on the Blackwater River. You don't happen to be
from that neck of the woods, do you.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
No.
Speaker 4 (14:59):
But About Dances actually is from not too far from Mallow,
and I spent a bit of time there over the outbreak.
So it's really that's a very small world. It's really
not there.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Well, I worked in television and I worked many stories
in the Republic of Ireland as well as well as
Northern Ireland, and one night, one of my best memories
as a TV reporter of thirty one years was having
dinner at Ivy House on Saint Stephen's Green with the
then Prime Minister Charlie Haughey and about ten or twelve
(15:32):
other people as well as my crew. So I have great,
great memories of Ireland, and I actually took listeners back
to Ireland.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
It was.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Two years ago this very month, in September of twenty
twenty three. We had a great We had a great time.
So let's talk about the locales here. How long is
the show? By the way, if I could ask how long,
just run.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
It's in two halves and we've got a twenty minute intermission,
so it's about two hours long.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Okay. The other thing is that this has to be
you're a dancer, but you also have to have the
strength of an athlete because people might not understand the
amount of you know, work that's that is done. How
do you keep it going night after night after night.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Yeah, it's definitely. It's very physically demanding. And one of
our producers likes to say, you have to be as
pretty as a ballerina, but as athletic as a you know,
as a football player. You know, you really there is
a real strong of athleticism that you have to have,
and it's also a lot of you know, you do
have to look after your body and look after yourself
and recovery is a big thing while on the road.
(16:48):
You know, we do show that night after night, so
looking after your body and stretching and everything like that
is so important.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Okay, So you folks are going to be in Conquered
New Hampshire on the four fourteenth of September. You will
be in Manchester the September twentieth, and then you come
down to Massachusetts. You're in andover Massachusetts and September twenty fifth,
Worcester on September twenty sixth, Plymouth on September twenty eighth. Now,
(17:18):
what is the website that people need to go to
to figure out how their schedule can intersect with yours.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Yeah, you can go to a Taste of islandshow dot
com and you can get all of your tickets from that.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
So say that a little bit more slowly. A taste
of Ireland.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
Worth a taste of irelandshow dot com.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Spell that word after Ireland for me if you would,
A taste of Ireland show show okay, show show Okay,
Ireland show okay. Great. Thank you so much. I really
appreciated the opportunity to talk with you and say hello
(18:00):
to the member of the dance troupe who is from Malow,
from near Mallow.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
I will do, I will do. Thank you for having me.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
You're welcome, Brittany, Thank you very much. Okay, and about
thirty seconds, Rob check me if I'm wrong on that.
We're going to be taking a CBS cut in the
top story of the day is the political assassination of
Charlie Kirk, conservative activist, very important member of the Trump
(18:30):
election team in twenty twenty four and President Trump is
ordered the flags before home be flown at half half
staff in his honor. So we'll be back right after
that with two more guests.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
It's Night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's News Radio.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Again. We will follow the political assassination story later on,
but we are continuing with our regular hour and I
am absolutely delighted to We don't have too many Broadway
superstars on this program, but we have one. Tonight, Mandy
Gonzales will join Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops to

Speaker 3 (20:04):
Absolutely?
Speaker 5 (20:05):
I sang all the time, and yeah, there were actually
rules in my house like no singing at the table,
no singing after a certain time. And I know that
your listeners probably have those kids that are in their
house right now, and just know that, uh, it does
get better and we do we do do things.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
That is that is so great. So you're going to
be in Boston. Have you performed with the Boston Symphony
with the Boston Pops before?
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Yes? I have.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
I have performed with the Boston Pops on July fourth,
and then I yes, yes, and then I have performed
with them at Kinglewood, and I have done another performance
with them at Symphony Hall, but this is my first
solo performance and I'm so excited. I you know, the
Boston Pops is just legendary, the best players ever, and
(21:02):
Keith Lockhart is you know, one of a million, and
I'm just I feel so lucky to be able to
debut this show with.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Them and with you guys.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Well, you know Keith has been on this program. He's
a great person and someone who's so talented. Obviously John
Williams was before him, and before John Williams, the legendary
Arthur Fiedler, and I've seen all of them and your
appearance here. It's September twentieth, is it one night.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
September twentieth, One night only September twentieth, And it's going
to be celebrating the music of lin Manuel Miranda and
so there will be music that you will recognize from
Broadway shows like Hamilton in the Heights Bring It On
the Musical, and there will be music from films that
he's done like Encanto and Vivo and Milana. So it's
(22:02):
really going to be a family filled, joyful celebration. So
I can't wait for people to hear it.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Well, I don't have a calendar in front of me,
but I think I just did the math in September
twentieth is a Saturday night, it is.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
It's a good night to go out.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Oh, absolutely right. I'm surprised. I hope there are some
tickets available for people to once they've heard you tonight.
I have to I always ask people. I worked in
TV here in Boston as a television reporter for right, Well,
I actually began at the Truth be Known a full.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Time the truth.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
I'm not going to I will tell you the truth
the month that you've born. So it's been a long time.
So I did thirty in TV, and I've been doing
this show for eighteen years. But that show business is
nothing compared to the show business that you have. My
question to performers like you, and I always asked this question.
I can call in sick if I'm sick, or if
(23:05):
my throat is just horrible, I can yes sick night.
How can you night after night? Particularly on Broadway, we
recently saw a play here, Come from Away.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
Oh fabulous, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
It's a great play, it is, really. We saw it
here on Cape Cod and the Dennis Playhouse. I don't
know if you've ever worked at the Dennis.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Playhouse, but I haven't.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
You know, I just went to the Cape for the
first time. I think two years ago. That was my
first time there. You know, I'm from California, but I've
lived in New York a really long time and I
finally made it out to I went to Provincetown. That's
part of the Cape, right, Yeah, that's the.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Hot that is the the end of the Cape. After Provincetown,
it's England or Ireland or the Atlantication whatever.
Speaker 5 (23:58):
But I went to a lobster pot and I have
to say it was definitely a highlight of the trip.
But to go into the water, that water is just
there's nothing like it, and the rocks and everything. I
just I loved it so much.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Just you just don't be petting the seals out there
because the seals are attract the shocks. That's the only
step I will give you.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
But no, in the movies the Broadway, there was a
pretty successful movie Jaws, if I if I recall, But
it is such an experience the theater and when you
don't go as often, you know, I'll go a couple
of times a year, and every time I think myself
and say, why don't am I not there more often?
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Because I still have a job here and I have
to do it. Yes, a little bit of a problem there,
but this is going to be a great event. Do
you get to Boston a lot or no?
Speaker 7 (24:56):
No?
Speaker 5 (24:57):
You know that's why I love. I love doing concert.
I love going out two different cities. I love coming
to Boston and singing with you know, the one and
only Boston Pops. Because it's hard to get to a
Broadway show, it's hard to get to New York. It's
it's hard to go and see a show in your
own town just to make the time. But you know,
(25:18):
it's so important to have those nights out with your
family and your loved ones and just to sing along
and to remember songs that that will make you maybe
take you back to a time or or make you
think like, oh my gosh, I've listened to this album
so many times, and now I get to see this
person live. So that's why it's so important for me
to to travel and to see these these incredible cities
(25:43):
and meet the incredible fans. But I also just love
to meet people and talk and and learn about new things.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Well, I can hear it in your voice. You're a
great interview. From my perspective, I will tell you, I
know that if you did the Boston Pops July Life,
well you must you must remember the fireworks ran one night.
I actually did a story from the firework barge.
Speaker 5 (26:10):
My gosh.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Oh yeah. It was just a different perspective, Mandy.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
I'm sure it was.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
You know, there was nothing. There was nothing like it,
you know, to see everybody just out and picnicking, like
you know, tailgating. Everybody has their thing, they do it
every year. And right before I think it was maybe
like a couple hours before it rained, and so everything
was like, is it gonna stop raining, is it not
gonna stop raining? Are we gonna do it? And so
(26:37):
you know, to go up there and it was still
wet on the ground, but everybody was waiting for for that,
and uh, you know to see a part of that,
you know, legacy of Boston. You know, it was really cool.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
As long as the stage is dry, that's the one.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
That's what they say. The mics are dry, We're good.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Uh man be Gonzalez, thank you very much. Boston Pops.
Uh with Keith Lockhart to perform, amongst others, Lyn, Manuel,
Mirandaz everything I know. It will be on September twentieth
at Boston Symphony Hall. And if I were you, I
would go to the telephone right now, don't wait till
tomorrow morning if you want to see Mandy Gonzalez and
(27:16):
you're sound like a really fun person. Mandy, thank you
so much for you.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
Oh, thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Welcome to Boston, Come back soon, come back off and
thanks so much. She's great. That was fun, That really
was fun. Okay, when we get back after the break,
we're going to talk the latest rage in terms of
I think food in caloric intyke is protein. I'm going
to talk with Paul Fulford. He's a healthy living expert
(27:43):
with a company called sign A Sure Lutronic. We'll explain
what that all means and also he'll answer the question
what happens if I eat too much protein? No, you
won't become superman, but we'll get an answer to that.
Coming back on Night.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Side, It's Night Side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Well, if you haven't noticed, protein is everywhere tout. It
is a key to weight loss, muscle game again, overall fitness.
Protein is a new cultural obsession. But how much do
we really need protein in our Americans overall? Getting enough
with a normal diet. Healthy living expert Paul Fulford joins us. Paul,
welcome tonight, Seed. How are you.
Speaker 7 (28:25):
I'm doing well?
Speaker 3 (28:26):
Thank you for having me.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Dan.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
You're with a company called Sino Sure Eleutronic. That sounds
like an electric electrical company. I'm sure it's not. Tell
us what does Sino Sure Eleutronic do?
Speaker 7 (28:41):
So, we're actually headquartered in Boston and the Boston area
in Westford, and we provide medical asthetics systems, right, so devices.
There's a particular device that goes really well with the
GLP ones currently which is called acuphit that builds muscle
having to work out, getting rid of pigment, vascularity, fine lines,
(29:05):
and wrinkles. And so the company makes and manufactures these
devices and is headquartered here in the US.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Wow. Okay, so that is interesting of itself. We'll give
that website in case folks would like to look at
some of the products you will offer. But you're also
a healthy living expert and we're talking about protein. I
know what protein is. I think most of our listeners.
How is it that now people are always thinking about
(29:38):
protein intake and they need more protein and less carbohydrates.
Is this a passing fat or is it something to
this theory?
Speaker 7 (29:47):
There's definitely something to it, right. I think one of
the things we've all kind of recently, if not not recently,
but it's been proven, was the food groups that we
were all taught growing up are not really you know,
the standard airic and diet is not really the best thing.
And you know, I think the biggest reason why it's
in everyone's face now is because of all the glp ones,
(30:10):
the ozempic, the Manjarro's right that people are taking to
basically put themselves on a clure deficit. And you know,
if you're trying to lose weight, you do want to
satiate yourself more with protein than with carbs.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Right.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
We still need carbs for energy because it converts the sugar,
but we also need protein for energy, particularly our muscles.
And it's in everybody's face now because everybody's now slapping
these protein labels on their on their marketing, and I
think that it's one of those things that people just
really need a little bit more slight education to understand
what's good protein for them and what's not good protein
(30:47):
for them?
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Okay, so give me some examples of good protein and
give us me some examples. I'm not a big protein guy.
Uh I'm a I'm a gym guy, and uh I'm not.
I don't like that pilled diets when I endorse a
product called Awaken one e, which my audience understands, which
does help people adjust their diet. But I'm curious. Give
(31:11):
us the good proteins and the and the not so
good proteins.
Speaker 7 (31:15):
Well, your your good proteins are always going to be
your animal source proteins, right, Your your your salmon, your beef,
your chicken, they're you know, and again gain somebody that's
you know, in healthy living, anti and anti aging. What
I do for a living right is that collagen protein
(31:35):
is one of those things that you see touted now, right,
it's going to help you. There's an indexing score based
on like the amount of effective protein that is going
to be drawn from each food source. And you only
really utilize eight percent of collagen protein versus ninety to
one hundred percent of animal protein, right, so you have
(31:57):
to eat so much more of the protein from a
collagen perspective. Versus that. Food wise, you know, bread has
protein in it, but it's only fifty percent of the
value that you need as far as good protein is concerned.
So you can get proteins from other sources other than meat,
but is it going to be the most effective protein
(32:19):
for you?
Speaker 2 (32:21):
So does that vary the application of what you just said,
Is that would vary from person to person, gender to gender,
age to age, or is it a standard that everyone
can follow?
Speaker 7 (32:33):
It is a standard, you know. Basically, the rule of
thumb is you should eat the amount of you know,
grams of protein that you want to have as your
ideal weight. So if you were, you know, two hundred
pounds and you want to be one hundred and ninety pounds,
you seet one hundred ninety grams of protein, right, So
(32:56):
it's about you know that in the recommended daily into
you know, is TEP typically a lot lower than that.
And I think when people look at governmental, you know, guidelines,
they need to remember that the goal is basically suggested
so that people are avoiding the minimum deficiencies.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Right.
Speaker 7 (33:17):
It's not something that you know, it's just about if
you were just sitting stagnant on the couch all day
that's enough to keep you alive, but it's not enough
to thrive and have longevity and good energy.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Sure, So is there a go to spot with your
company or somewhere else that you could recommend? Because I'm
sure that a lot of what we've just talked about
has gone by most of most of my listeners unless
they were in a position to take notes. Uh, there
is there go to information at your company's signed as
your elutronic. Where can we send folks?
Speaker 5 (33:53):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (33:53):
Well, definitely have a I have a podcast called Optimized Outcomes,
which is basically a blending of all of these things
where it's biofunctional aesthetic medicine, where it's biology, biohackening, functional
medicine and medical aesthetics all come into play here. And
it's one of those. Uh we talked about it on
the on the on the podcast, so it Optimized Outcomes.
(34:16):
It's on Apple podcasts, uh, YouTube and Spotify perfect.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Okay, Well that's a It's a good place for for
folks to start and continue to read. Want to give
us the h The website for Sino suore sin a Sureleutronic.
Speaker 7 (34:32):
Sure, it's uh Sino shore c y n O s
U R E loutronic l U t R O n
I C dot com.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Sounds great. Paul Fulford, I appreciate your time tonight. It's fascinating. Again,
I am I totally am on board with you. I'm
I'm again I'm a little bit concerned about the folks
who are relying so heavily upon the pills. You've got
to do the work, whether it's in the gym or
pushing back from the table too. That's what it's all about,
(35:03):
and understanding what you're eating. It's really one you finally,
when you finally figure it out, it works. It works. Paul,
thank you so much. I appreciate your time. We'll talk again.
Speaker 7 (35:14):
Thank you again, Dan, You're very welcome.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
When we get back, right after the nine o'clock news,
we're going to talk about what happened today in orm Utah,
at that college out there in Utah, in which Charlie Kirk,
at thirty one years of age, a son, a husband,
a father of two, shot to death. One shot. At
this point there is still no one in custody and
