Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm WBS Boston Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Thank you very much to call. Nice to be back
after a week's vacation. It was wonderful, but I missed
all of you, and I want to thank not only
Gary Tangway who sat in all last week, but also
of course Marita and Karen Bussemi who on a Monday
produced the program. So we're back ready to go, that
(00:31):
is for sure, and we are back to our normal programming,
meaning we're going to start off with our first four
guests in a segment. Rob Brooks is back behind the microphone,
and I'm all set. My name is Dan Ray, and
I am here every Monday through Friday night except on
(00:52):
a month vacation, and I will be here every night
for the balance of September through most of not all
of October, right up to it including November fifth, and
of course that's going to be a very important date
for everyone. So one person who is going to be
watching November fifth very closely is a longtime friend and colleague,
(01:17):
John Keller of WBC Television. He is the political editor
over there and it has been for it many many years.
Does his Sunday morning program, amongst other responsibilities. John Keller,
welcome back to Nightside. How are you tonight?
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Would you say your name was against Dan Ray?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yes? Yes, I don't think we haven't met too many times.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Dan.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I don't think you have to reintroduce yourself to the
audience anymore. I think everybody knows who you are.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
You never know, you never know. That could be some
new listeners every day. John, how are you doing? Yeah,
you're right to reintroduce you, but I do that out
of professional courtesy. I welcome, welcome back to Nightside.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Thank you, big, big night.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Tomorrow night.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
This might be the one and only, the one and
only presidential debate of this year. I've heard very little
from the Presidential Debate Commission, which normally is in charge
of this lock stock and barrel. For some reason, everything
has changed this year.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah, they're out of the picture, and it's a matter
of the campaigns negotiating directly with media organizations. Dan. I'm
willing to moderate one's if they're interested down the road,
but I'll tell you Tomorrow night could be the only one,
and that I think changes the strategy that these candidates
(02:45):
will bring Tomorrow night. I mean you you know, we're
we're a little less than two months away from election day.
That's a that's a long time, and so one thing
you've got to do if you're Harris or Trump is
try to create viral moments that will live on over
(03:07):
the coming weeks online. Because if you're counting on people
remembering the entire debate by the time they go vote,
I think you might be in trouble. So that suggests
to me, for instance, that Harris in particular, will have
some set lines ready to go that she's going to
(03:31):
try to drop on him that will create viral moments
on Trump is going to try to do the same,
but I watch for that. I think they're going to
be looking to create these little episodes that will be
bouncing around Facebook and Instagram and TikTok for the remaining
seven weeks.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Well, it's really interesting because if that debate ends up
as sort of a draw, a right, a tie, whatever,
however people score it. If it doesn't move the needle,
then both of them probably would be open to another debate.
But if one wins dramatically, as Trump did with President
(04:14):
Biden in June, I think that's it. We may see
a vice presidential debate. I'm not even sure if the
Presidential Commission on Debates or whatever it's called, which generally
was run by the League of Women Voters, If I'm
not mistaken, they've been ased out of this whole process,
asd out by the June face off between President Biden
(04:38):
and former President Trump, and we know how that ended.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah, no, you're right, this could be it except for
a possible vice presidential debate. I'm not sure if that's
set and grant yet that even that's going to happen,
But you know, you got a one or what the
strategy is for these two going into this. Are they
(05:04):
going into it looking to just excite their base so
that you know, people who are already inclined to back
Harris come away all hyped up and ready to turn out.
Is that how they look at this as a as
a straight turnout election, or whoever generates the bigger turnout
(05:28):
is going to win. Or do they use this opportunity
to make a play for the undecided voter, the swing voter.
And that's weird, Dan, because one thing we know about
these undecided voters, the small percentage of the electorate that
still can't make up its mind. Or just as I'm
paying attention. Is they tend to make up their minds
(05:50):
in the final couple of weeks. Yeah, that's what history shows.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
You know, there's probably eleven people in the country who
at this point.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Are it's really got a wonder right, So they could.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Put all those people in the room together. It would
be a very small room and we could figure the election.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Out as long as there's an open bar.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Something like that. Yes, that would be the poster's dream. Well,
I don't know. I mean, obviously i'd follow I follow
the polls polls closely as you do, and I follow
five point thirty eight very closely. And it looks to
me like as in this moment, Vice President Harris did
(06:35):
have a bit of a bump out of that convention,
which went very well for the Democrats. But that bump
has not continued, and it's if it may have even
receded a little bit. Is that the way you see
this or am I missing something?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
No, that could real well be. I'm going to stick
with the way I've looked at this all along, just
for lack of a better idea, Dan, and that is
is that if the swing voter goes into the polls
in November or down the stretch because there's plenty of
(07:12):
advanced voting that's going to be going on focused on
Trump and thinking, gee, do I really want to go
back to what we had with Trump. I think that's
good for Harris, because one thing the polls tell you
(07:32):
is Donald Trump is not that popular. However, if they
go into the polls focused on Harris and the Biden years, well,
those years have not been popular with the voters, and
that could be persuasive for people who just say, look,
(07:57):
you know, maybe I voted for Trump back in sixteen
because I wanted to try something new, and maybe I
wasn't that thrilled with it, But then we had this
Bite and Harris thing, and I really didn't like that,
so I'll go back the other way.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Well, there's another element I throw at you'd like to
get your reaction, John, and that is that. And I
agree with you that if you go in thinking about
Trump and the turmoil, particularly of the last few weeks
of his second term of his first term in office,
most people say, oh, do we really need to go
through that again. But if people go in and they
(08:35):
focus and they say, well, I know what Trump believes,
I know what his positions are, some of which I
might agree with, some of which I don't disagree with,
I don't agree with. But what is Vice President Harris?
She hasn't done news conferences. She hasn't done except one
to sit down interview. Am I voting for someone that
(08:59):
I know what's in all? Or? Am I voting for
someone that Bernie Sanders yesterday said is not changing her positions,
She's just kind of accommodating her circumstances and trying to
win an election. That was a sound bite for Bernie
Sanders yesterday.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
I thought, Yeah, you know, you're right. It reminds me
a little bit of the whole edge of sketch situation
with Mitt Romney. Remember that he was gonna once he
got the nomination, shake like an edge of sketch and
come up with a a whole new platform. Yeah, that
(09:40):
didn't work out too great, But I don't know. I
think tomorrow night you're gonna hear a lot about Project
twenty twenty five from Harris. Yep, because that has proven,
much to my surprise, to be honest with you, to
be a very effective vehicle for well certainly scaring the
daylights out of people. Because it's a project twenty twenty
(10:04):
five is a lot of extreme right wing wishless stuff,
but it suggests and it promotes fear of a Trump
led future.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
It also sounds like it sounds so governmental, and it
almost sounds like Area fifty one. Right. Yes, I don't
know what it is, but it doesn't sound good.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
No, it doesn't sound good.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
And whoever does.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
And maybe it's going to be interesting tomorrow night, that
is for sure. And I know you'll be watching it
like a hawk, and people will get your reaction to it,
and we'll get people's reaction to it. And by the way,
tonight we're going to talk about see what people anticipate
and expect beginning at ten o'clock. And you have set
the table as always very nicely for us, and I
appreciate that very much.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Get the popcorn ready, Dan, Oh yeah, Arrow.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Popcorn tomorrow night. Thanks John Donathan, Thank you. John Keller.
John Keller, political analyst at WBZ TV. You see him,
and he is always very close to the mark. He's
a guy who's an absolute straight shooter. When we get back,
we're going to talk with a brain health coach and
(11:20):
consultant about whether or not. The food you eat may
dictate your mood. We'll see. We're coming back on Nightside.
This is Monday Night Step Termber ninth, Football in the year.
We're going to be talking later tonight, by the way,
with Tara Sullivan, Boston Globe sports columnists, who really I enjoy.
She's going to talk about the big Patriots upset victory
(11:43):
on the road in Cincinnati. It was on to Cincinnati
yesterday for the Patriots, and now it's on to the
rest of the schedule. We'll talk with Tara, and we'll
also talk with Emily Sweeney about Boston accent. So we'll
have a little bit of fun. We'll loosen it up
here coming up right after the break here on night Side.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Now back to Dan ray Line from the Window World
Light Sinight Studios on WBZ the news Radio.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I want to welcome Lee Richardson. She's a brain health
coach and a consultant. She's the founder of the Brain
Performance Center Lee Richardson, or I should say doctor Richardson. Welcome,
very welcome to you. Food may dictate our mood. What's
this all about? I'm here, well, too much sugar, too
(12:28):
much carbs. What are we talking about?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Holoyd.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
That's exactly what we're talking about. Our diet does affect
our maids, and really it's because it's through blood sugar,
and once our blood sugar gets hot, starts triggering our hormones.
And then, you know, anytime you do something that you
really like, the brain starts kicking out this dopamine, and
(12:51):
dopamine is a really feel good transceneral transmitter, and we
get confused like, oh, I like that, I want that,
I need that, And that's confusing for the brain. And
then maybe four or five hours after we get that
sugar high, that adrenaline starts to get released in our system.
(13:15):
And as good as that dopamine makes us feel, adrenaline
makes us feel bad. But it's confusing, you know, to
when you eat something and you feel good and then
all of a sudden, or what's not all of a sudden,
for a little while later, you feel bad.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Well, let me let me miss this. I understand the
dopamine concept. And dopamine, for example, if people are runners,
they know what a runner's high is. After you know,
a ten k race or a five k race or
a marathon, you get that that dopamine, which is just hey,
I've really I work out every day. I'm my best
(13:52):
part of the day is when I finish my exercise routine,
generally around eight or eight thirty in the morning. I'm
ready to go, so that it's not a bad thing.
But I guess if it's brought on by exercise, it's okay.
But if it's brought on by junk food, it's not.
Is that what I'm hearing you.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Say, Well, it is because dopaman is a key factor
in addiction and whether and you know, I'm not saying
you're addicted to exercise, Honestly, I have approached that in
my younger years. But whether it's alcohol or I got
to be honest with you.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I am addicted to exercise because I do it. Yeah,
I try to do it every day, you know, and
I feel much better when it's over. You got to
have that mindset, get up, get it over with and
get on with the day.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Absolutely, And well, thank you for admitting your addiction. I
think exercise because I tell myself for years, well, it's
a healthy addiction, and I still want it, but I
can live.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
I don't have to have it.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
And with food and so it's so complex, you know,
we all have our comfort food that makes us feel good.
And I can remember as a little kid, you know,
anytime I felt bad, my mom would make me a
baked potato. I see a baked potato today, I'm like, oh, yes, please. Now,
I know that's a high glossmic index, but at the
(15:21):
same time, it's a comfort food to me.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Okay, So let's assume somebody is actually over eating in
terms of sugar and carbs. So the process is you
like the sugar and carbs and you get the dopamine high,
and then you come crashing down and you're adrenaline which
takes which brings you down.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
Well, that plays a part of it, but it also
it's your blood sugar. It fluctuates and they call it
now a high glossmic index. And for our listeners out there,
you know, God Glass, Google, you don't have to work
too hard to figure out what low glossmic indexed foods are.
(16:08):
Just put it in the search bar, and it's amazing
because it's it's what makes it complicated. There is no
two people that have the same brain, and there's no
two people that are going to react to sugar or
caffeine or chocolate or anything. The same way that somebody
is my.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Favorite food groups chocolate. Oh man. Okay, So what's the
long term implications here? What are we talking about here?
What by do by by over indulging in sugars and carbs,
Other than affecting our moved there must be some long term.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Medical Absolutely, absolutely all of that relates to insulin and diabetes.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Diabetes is and it's probably one of the fastest growing.
So there is no difference. Everybody thinks all the body
that's your physical health, and all the brain that's your
mental health. No, thank you, it's brain health. And the
brain controls everything that's going on in the body. The
(17:21):
body keeps score of whatever's going on in the brain.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
So how about a quick recommendation. We've probably scared some
people tonight, including me. What other than self disciplined, what
can you do? Cut down on your sugar and your carbs.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Educate, become aware you know, Google low glassmic index. I
mean I was brought up, Oh my gosh, you got
to eat grape nuts. They're hot glasmic values and little
did my mom know. So if I want thing to
say to our listeners out there, it's your responsibility educate
yourself and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Okay, So low glycemic index is what we should be
googling tonight, right, Ye, all right, doctor Lee Richardson. I
love the way you kind of tell us the truth. Okay,
but you're doing it in a nice way.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Well, thank you for your kind words.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Well can take that as a compliment. Okay, Oh I do.
I think you've probably shaken up a few people tonight,
but that's not a bad thing. We'll have you back
as always, doctor Lee Richardson. How can folks get in
touch with the Brain Performance Center if they'd like to
get some information about the Brain Performance Center, Well.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
We've got that good old fashion website, the Brain Performance
Center dot com, and they can find doctor Lee E.
Richardson on LinkedIn.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Sounds great, sounds great, doctor Richardson. We'll talk soon. Okay,
thanks so much for joining us again. Have a great night.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
When we come back, we're gonna talk about Boston accents,
not only real Boston accents and the one just seeing
the movies with. Who better to talk about this with
than a great friend, Emily Sweeney of the Boston Globe.
And I'm looking forward to talking to Emily, we'll be
back right after the news at the bottom of the hour,
(19:18):
and you can get your Boston accents ready. Go pack
your car if you haven't packed it yet. We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Night side with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
All right now. There are some people in other parts
of the country who think that those of us who
grew up in Boston have some form of a Boston accent.
I don't quite frankly, hear that accent at all. However,
the great reporter and social commentator of the Boston Globe,
Emily Sweeney, took on this task to critique Boston accents.
(19:53):
What real Bostonians think about accent portrayals in movies and television. Emily,
I don't even recognize a Boston accent. I recognize all
sorts of weird accents from the count around the country.
But we speak really normally up here, don't we.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
You know, Dan, That's what I think. I mean. I
know sometimes people will be like, wow, your accent, and
I'm like, what, Like, I don't know. I don't hear
it either, but I do hear when I'm bad accent.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Do you say either or either? I say either.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
I say either, why's that?
Speaker 6 (20:30):
I don't you know, that's a good question. I've never
really thought about it too much, Dan, But you know
either either you know either kid?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Do you say odds or aunt?
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (20:44):
Of course aunt without a doubt, of course.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
So some friends of mine just say, you know, aunt Mary,
aunt Gloria and stuff like that. There's different ways to
pronounce words, So go ahead. I'm not trying to step
on your lines here, and I'm trying to get get
everybody on the same page with us here, because obviously
saying pakrka, that's what you're going to say if you're
in habit.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
Hobbit square right, right right, And as all Bostonians know,
you wouldn't even try to pack your car and have
it yet, which is the whole thing. Is kind of weird, of.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Course, right, unless you were conducting a protest or something,
and then you have first something like that. No, so look,
we do have Let's let's explain it for people who
were knowing listening to the show and have never been
to this area before. Many of us feel that the
letter are is a superfluous letter of the twenty six
(21:36):
consonant and vowels that make up you know, the English
language correct.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Yeah, you know, it just kind of rolls off the
tongue and just disappears sometimes.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
You know.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
What I mean is as opposed it disappears.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
Yes, okay, I got you, and yeah, so so, and
it's kind of a it's an interesting topic. You know.
I got to interview a bunch of my colleagues at
the Globe for a Globe Today TV segment, and we
also interviewed members of the public just about like, you know,
what are some of the best and worst Boston accents
(22:10):
we've heard on TV and movies? And I'm sure you
can think of some. I mean, some bad ones come
to mind immediately for me. But you know when when
some people, when people try to do the Boston accent
and they don't pull it off, it's, uh, it can
be very distracting.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I find it'd be like a Southern It would be
a Southern accent somebody who's really not from the South
and tried to throw a few U walls in there,
and you realize they're you guys said that the accent
of the actors in The Perfect Storm were pretty bad.
Wasn't Mark Wahlberg in The Perfect Storm? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (22:45):
You know, I think macky mock gets a pass when
we when the perfect storm is mentioned, and I think,
you know, Coloney didn't even really attempt it, which is fine,
you know, because not everybody in Boston also has.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
An act that if you.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
Yeah, yep, yeap of it.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I'm i'm a because he's from.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
Oh yeah, and you know Mark always nails it, you know,
Casey Affleck always nails.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
It, you know what.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
One of my colleagues, John Chestell, pointed out that Jeremy Renner,
who apparently not from this area, but also nails the
accent down in the town like you don't even notice it.
He sounds so natural. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hopefully, yes, yes, thankfully,
and uh, you know, he did a great job with it.
(23:41):
One of the real bad ones that got mentioned when
I was talking to my colleagues was, I don't know,
if you've seen the movie Thirteen Days, Kevin Costna totally
just massacres what I think is supposed to be a
Boston accent.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
As you probably know, my audience is gonna hate me
for telling this story again, but I played a major
role in Reversal of Fortune, which was the club from
the story on air with it, I mb D or
I m dB, whatever the hell it is credit, Okay,
And we were nominated for the Movie of the Year.
Jeremy Irons won the Academy Award that year for Great Performance.
(24:20):
Glenn Close played Sonny Bulah, Sonny van Buloh. She never
got out of the bed, I think in the entire Yeah,
the entire movie. Uh. And and we lost that year
to Costner in Dances with Wolves. So I don't like Costner. Okay,
I haven't spoken to him. Since you've hit a little
(24:43):
bit of a nerve with Kevin Costner.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
Well, now you have another reason too.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Well. I never had spoken to him before either, but
I haven't certainly spoken to him since that's a true
story that I was in that movie and we lost
the Dances with Wolves. That dam I know. Well, you
know it would have been I would have had a
perfect record, one for one, you know, one movie, one roll,
one on screen, one oscar. That's I would have gone
(25:08):
out bat in a thousand. But now you know, so
don't have an oscar.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
That's right, there's plenty. It's on you, you know what
I mean, The next the next film, you know, well,
you have a good feeling about it.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Well, people say to me, when's the next one? And
I say, well, you know pretty much. Jeremy Irons and
Glenn Close and I we all keep reading scripts and
we just can't kind of agree, you know sometimes you
know that sort of thing. But as I say, I
want to say to you that one of my on
my bucket list is to win an Oscar.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
There you go, of course Oscar?
Speaker 2 (25:44):
So who was?
Speaker 6 (25:45):
And I'm sure you'll give a great speech too.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Oh yeah, the music will be playing as soon as
I grabbed the microphone.
Speaker 6 (25:52):
You hold on to that mic too, even when the
big like.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Hold on, Well, Michael Logue time.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
So what else you're working on?
Speaker 2 (26:05):
This seems like this seems like a good one. You
guys the Globe are becoming multi media, multi dimension all
over there.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Oh yeah, no, totally. I mean the Globe Today TV
show is great. I always have a great time being
on it, and you know my colleagues are on. It's
on if you want to check it out every weekday
at five o'clock on Nesson. It's worth checking out. And
you know, one of the things I'll be doing for
the show will be doing a segment on one of
(26:32):
the unsolved murders that I'm writing about for the Cold
Case Files. That's one of the series that I write
for the Globe about unsolved murders.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
And then of course to come back for that one
talk about that. The other thing too, is for sure,
I know that you guys probably hang with John Henry
over in the in the cafeteria most days, right if
you see.
Speaker 6 (26:55):
Henry, well, you know, Linda Henry is always around and
she's very, very involved, So definitely see her a lot
in the news groom and in the building.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Well here's I tried to reach the Globe yesterday morning.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
Okay, my Sunday.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Newspaper to which I'm addicted, okay, as a Globe subscriber.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Since like I like to hear that good Oh yeah,
a long time globe.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
My Sunday globe was late yesterday morning, totally threw off
my schedule coffee, breakfast, everything, okay. And then this morning
this morning, to add insult to injury, as I walked
down my short little driveway and noticed that my globe
was there on time, well what appeared to be my globe.
It was a copy of the Cape Card Times.
Speaker 6 (27:41):
Oh really, okay, So it's been a bad week, Emily,
and so when you say, oh, man, John or.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Anybody over there, just let him know that they have
one upset subscriber here and the people of the Cape,
because I'm in residence in the Cape during the summer
months doing my program.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
Yeah, no, totally.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Well, you know what, if you have a friendship or
your your close relationship with Henry family.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
You.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
Should then and and you pay for it, so you
should get your paper on time. And actually we do
have I can talk to folks at work tomorrow and
you know, offline I can maybe get a little bit
more of your info and you know, won't make sure
it gets faced.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Yeah, no problem. No, what happens is they told me today,
I talk when you when you get the Globe person,
the people who you talk to about missing your paper
or your paper being late, they're not in Dochester. They're
in Shoenex, Arizona.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Oh really, Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
Well what they say is no Boston accent.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
No Boston accent at all. In fact, I have no
idea what accent it is. But it's not in Boston
accent that I'm certain of. They say, well, you live
in an area where we can't redeliver. So I'm thinking
they must be like one person sit here in the
Cape who has to do the whole cape, and once
they miss you, it's like express.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
Oh geez, I'm sorry to hear that. And I am
gonna I am going to follow up on this, Dan seriously.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Well, I really do appreciate it, because I gotta tell you,
I love the Globe. I love the Herald. We want
to be a newspaper town. And it's very frustrating because look,
in this day and age, a lot of people are
cutting back on this, cutting back on that. And to me,
the Globe is a critical portion of my day, okay,
And I really really mean that. And I read everything.
I read Chesto in business, i read the sports page
(29:36):
Forust Shaughnessy, and I'm gonna be talking with Tara Sullivan
about the big Patriots game next. So I love the Globe. Okay,
I don't necessarily love the editorial page, but I love
the Globe as a newspaper, to be honest with you,
and I do, I really do. Anyway, Thanks for letting
me have a little bit of fun. I always have
(29:59):
you just concerned you're a huge asset to that if
they ever ever do anything bad to you, I'm dropping
the I'm dropping the subscription.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
Well, thank you, Dan, I appreciate that and knocking. Hopefully
nothing like that will happen.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
So no, you you you are an m d P.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
Thanks Dan, seriously, I mean seriously, you know I'm a
big fan.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Thanks so much for joining us tonight.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
And we're looking forward. All right, thank you, Okay, thanks definitely.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
All right, a lot of information there, folks. Then we
get back. We're going to talk about something really good,
which the Patriots yesterday on to Cincinnati. They won in Cincinnati.
Tara Sullivan of the Boston Globe sports columnist who's a
great writer and really is a great sports columnist, joins
us right after the break here on Nightside.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Well, one of our guests, as is not available for
some reason. We don't know why, but that's the way
it works sometimes here on night Side, Tara Sullivan and
the Boston Globe. She was gonna tell us maybe she's
recovering from too much celebration or just is a little
too tired to join us, but we were going to
talk about the Patriots victory over Cincinnati yesterday. I think
(31:19):
that was a surprise to most of US sports fans.
So congratulations to coach Mayo, who was a really great guy.
I had him on the show a few years ago.
He had had a dog who was not treated well
when that dog was put in a kennel. He's a
really he's a great coach. I think certainly what he
(31:41):
did on Sunday was great, and he's also a great individual,
a great human being, and obviously his team responded very
well yesterday. Now, when we get back on the other
side of the nine o'clock News, we're going to talk
about a story that went front and center today. It
has been a story that's been around about a year.
Story that big prostitution ring that was running out of Cambridge, Watertown, Massachusetts. Cambridge,
(32:09):
Massa in Massachusetts, Watertown, Massachusetts and also in a suburb
just outside of Washington, d C. A high end prostitution ring.
And there are about twenty eight alleged customers of that
ring who, under no circumstances understandably want their identities exposed.
(32:30):
And there was a hearing today in front of the
Massachusetts State Supreme Court in which it was argued that
there should be not only a hearing but that information
should be public records. So it was sort of like
balancing the interest of the public in knowing because and
(32:50):
I'll explain on the other side of the nine why
the argument is that is an interest in the public
knowing versus the right of privacy of these individuals customers, who,
as the US Attorney in Massachusetts mentioned last November when
the diamonds came down that as customers, they are breaking
the law as well. So we'll get to all of that,
(33:11):
and then later on tonight, beginning at ten o'clock, we
will preview tomorrow night's presidential debate between former President Donald
Trump and current Vice President Kamala Harris. And we want
to know what you think is going to happen, and
I think it's going to be very interesting. We will
broadcast that debate live tomorrow night at the ABC feed
will be here beginning at nine o'clock right until the
end of debate, about an hour and a half till
(33:32):
ten thirty. We'll get back to all of that right
after the nine o'clock news on Night Side
It's Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm WBS Boston Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Thank you very much to call. Nice to be back
after a week's vacation. It was wonderful, but I missed
all of you, and I want to thank not only
Gary Tangway who sat in all last week, but also
of course Marita and Karen Bussemi who on a Monday
produced the program. So we're back ready to go, that
(00:31):
is for sure, and we are back to our normal programming,
meaning we're going to start off with our first four
guests in a segment. Rob Brooks is back behind the microphone,
and I'm all set. My name is Dan Ray, and
I am here every Monday through Friday night except on
(00:52):
a month vacation, and I will be here every night
for the balance of September through most of not all
of October, right up to it including November fifth, and
of course that's going to be a very important date
for everyone. So one person who is going to be
watching November fifth very closely is a longtime friend and colleague,
(01:17):
John Keller of WBC Television. He is the political editor
over there and it has been for it many many years.
Does his Sunday morning program, amongst other responsibilities. John Keller,
welcome back to Nightside. How are you tonight?
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Would you say your name was against Dan Ray?
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yes? Yes, I don't think we haven't met too many times.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Dan.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
I don't think you have to reintroduce yourself to the
audience anymore. I think everybody knows who you are.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
You never know, you never know. That could be some
new listeners every day. John, how are you doing? Yeah,
you're right to reintroduce you, but I do that out
of professional courtesy. I welcome, welcome back to Nightside.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Thank you, big, big night.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Tomorrow night.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
This might be the one and only, the one and
only presidential debate of this year. I've heard very little
from the Presidential Debate Commission, which normally is in charge
of this lock stock and barrel. For some reason, everything
has changed this year.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yeah, they're out of the picture, and it's a matter
of the campaigns negotiating directly with media organizations. Dan. I'm
willing to moderate one's if they're interested down the road,
but I'll tell you Tomorrow night could be the only one,
and that I think changes the strategy that these candidates
(02:45):
will bring Tomorrow night. I mean you you know, we're
we're a little less than two months away from election day.
That's a that's a long time, and so one thing
you've got to do if you're Harris or Trump is
try to create viral moments that will live on over
(03:07):
the coming weeks online. Because if you're counting on people
remembering the entire debate by the time they go vote,
I think you might be in trouble. So that suggests
to me, for instance, that Harris in particular, will have
some set lines ready to go that she's going to
(03:31):
try to drop on him that will create viral moments
on Trump is going to try to do the same,
but I watch for that. I think they're going to
be looking to create these little episodes that will be
bouncing around Facebook and Instagram and TikTok for the remaining
seven weeks.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Well, it's really interesting because if that debate ends up
as sort of a draw, a right, a tie, whatever,
however people score it. If it doesn't move the needle,
then both of them probably would be open to another debate.
But if one wins dramatically, as Trump did with President
(04:14):
Biden in June, I think that's it. We may see
a vice presidential debate. I'm not even sure if the
Presidential Commission on Debates or whatever it's called, which generally
was run by the League of Women Voters, If I'm
not mistaken, they've been ased out of this whole process,
asd out by the June face off between President Biden
(04:38):
and former President Trump, and we know how that ended.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah, no, you're right, this could be it except for
a possible vice presidential debate. I'm not sure if that's
set and grant yet that even that's going to happen,
But you know, you got a one or what the
strategy is for these two going into this. Are they
(05:04):
going into it looking to just excite their base so
that you know, people who are already inclined to back
Harris come away all hyped up and ready to turn out.
Is that how they look at this as a as
a straight turnout election, or whoever generates the bigger turnout
(05:28):
is going to win. Or do they use this opportunity
to make a play for the undecided voter, the swing voter.
And that's weird, Dan, because one thing we know about
these undecided voters, the small percentage of the electorate that
still can't make up its mind. Or just as I'm
paying attention. Is they tend to make up their minds
(05:50):
in the final couple of weeks. Yeah, that's what history shows.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
You know, there's probably eleven people in the country who
at this point.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Are it's really got a wonder right, So they could.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Put all those people in the room together. It would
be a very small room and we could figure the election.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Out as long as there's an open bar.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
Something like that. Yes, that would be the poster's dream. Well,
I don't know. I mean, obviously i'd follow I follow
the polls polls closely as you do, and I follow
five point thirty eight very closely. And it looks to
me like as in this moment, Vice President Harris did
(06:35):
have a bit of a bump out of that convention,
which went very well for the Democrats. But that bump
has not continued, and it's if it may have even
receded a little bit. Is that the way you see
this or am I missing something?
Speaker 3 (06:50):
No, that could real well be. I'm going to stick
with the way I've looked at this all along, just
for lack of a better idea, Dan, and that is
is that if the swing voter goes into the polls
in November or down the stretch because there's plenty of
(07:12):
advanced voting that's going to be going on focused on
Trump and thinking, gee, do I really want to go
back to what we had with Trump. I think that's
good for Harris, because one thing the polls tell you
(07:32):
is Donald Trump is not that popular. However, if they
go into the polls focused on Harris and the Biden years, well,
those years have not been popular with the voters, and
that could be persuasive for people who just say, look,
(07:57):
you know, maybe I voted for Trump back in sixteen
because I wanted to try something new, and maybe I
wasn't that thrilled with it, But then we had this
Bite and Harris thing, and I really didn't like that,
so I'll go back the other way.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Well, there's another element I throw at you'd like to
get your reaction, John, and that is that. And I
agree with you that if you go in thinking about
Trump and the turmoil, particularly of the last few weeks
of his second term of his first term in office,
most people say, oh, do we really need to go
through that again. But if people go in and they
(08:35):
focus and they say, well, I know what Trump believes,
I know what his positions are, some of which I
might agree with, some of which I don't disagree with,
I don't agree with. But what is Vice President Harris?
She hasn't done news conferences. She hasn't done except one
to sit down interview. Am I voting for someone that
(08:59):
I know what's in all? Or? Am I voting for
someone that Bernie Sanders yesterday said is not changing her positions,
She's just kind of accommodating her circumstances and trying to
win an election. That was a sound bite for Bernie
Sanders yesterday.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
I thought, Yeah, you know, you're right. It reminds me
a little bit of the whole edge of sketch situation
with Mitt Romney. Remember that he was gonna once he
got the nomination, shake like an edge of sketch and
come up with a a whole new platform. Yeah, that
(09:40):
didn't work out too great, But I don't know. I
think tomorrow night you're gonna hear a lot about Project
twenty twenty five from Harris. Yep, because that has proven,
much to my surprise, to be honest with you, to
be a very effective vehicle for well certainly scaring the
daylights out of people. Because it's a project twenty twenty
(10:04):
five is a lot of extreme right wing wishless stuff,
but it suggests and it promotes fear of a Trump
led future.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
It also sounds like it sounds so governmental, and it
almost sounds like Area fifty one. Right. Yes, I don't
know what it is, but it doesn't sound good.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
No, it doesn't sound good.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
And whoever does.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
That's right, that's right.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
And maybe it's going to be interesting tomorrow night, that
is for sure. And I know you'll be watching it
like a hawk, and people will get your reaction to it,
and we'll get people's reaction to it. And by the way,
tonight we're going to talk about see what people anticipate
and expect beginning at ten o'clock. And you have set
the table as always very nicely for us, and I
appreciate that very much.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Get the popcorn ready, Dan, Oh yeah, Arrow.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Popcorn tomorrow night. Thanks John Donathan, Thank you. John Keller.
John Keller, political analyst at WBZ TV. You see him,
and he is always very close to the mark. He's
a guy who's an absolute straight shooter. When we get back,
we're going to talk with a brain health coach and
(11:20):
consultant about whether or not. The food you eat may
dictate your mood. We'll see. We're coming back on Nightside.
This is Monday Night Step Termber ninth, Football in the year.
We're going to be talking later tonight, by the way,
with Tara Sullivan, Boston Globe sports columnists, who really I enjoy.
She's going to talk about the big Patriots upset victory
(11:43):
on the road in Cincinnati. It was on to Cincinnati
yesterday for the Patriots, and now it's on to the
rest of the schedule. We'll talk with Tara, and we'll
also talk with Emily Sweeney about Boston accent. So we'll
have a little bit of fun. We'll loosen it up
here coming up right after the break here on night Side.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Now back to Dan ray Line from the Window World
Light Sinight Studios on WBZ the news Radio.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I want to welcome Lee Richardson. She's a brain health
coach and a consultant. She's the founder of the Brain
Performance Center Lee Richardson, or I should say doctor Richardson. Welcome,
very welcome to you. Food may dictate our mood. What's
this all about? I'm here, well, too much sugar, too
(12:28):
much carbs. What are we talking about?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Holoyd.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
That's exactly what we're talking about. Our diet does affect
our maids, and really it's because it's through blood sugar,
and once our blood sugar gets hot, starts triggering our hormones.
And then, you know, anytime you do something that you
really like, the brain starts kicking out this dopamine, and
(12:51):
dopamine is a really feel good transceneral transmitter, and we
get confused like, oh, I like that, I want that,
I need that, And that's confusing for the brain. And
then maybe four or five hours after we get that
sugar high, that adrenaline starts to get released in our system.
(13:15):
And as good as that dopamine makes us feel, adrenaline
makes us feel bad. But it's confusing, you know, to
when you eat something and you feel good and then
all of a sudden, or what's not all of a sudden,
for a little while later, you feel bad.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Well, let me let me miss this. I understand the
dopamine concept. And dopamine, for example, if people are runners,
they know what a runner's high is. After you know,
a ten k race or a five k race or
a marathon, you get that that dopamine, which is just hey,
I've really I work out every day. I'm my best
(13:52):
part of the day is when I finish my exercise routine,
generally around eight or eight thirty in the morning. I'm
ready to go, so that it's not a bad thing.
But I guess if it's brought on by exercise, it's okay.
But if it's brought on by junk food, it's not.
Is that what I'm hearing you.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Say, Well, it is because dopaman is a key factor
in addiction and whether and you know, I'm not saying
you're addicted to exercise, Honestly, I have approached that in
my younger years. But whether it's alcohol or I got
to be honest with you.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
I am addicted to exercise because I do it. Yeah,
I try to do it every day, you know, and
I feel much better when it's over. You got to
have that mindset, get up, get it over with and
get on with the day.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Absolutely, And well, thank you for admitting your addiction. I
think exercise because I tell myself for years, well, it's
a healthy addiction, and I still want it, but I
can live.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
I don't have to have it.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
And with food and so it's so complex, you know,
we all have our comfort food that makes us feel good.
And I can remember as a little kid, you know,
anytime I felt bad, my mom would make me a
baked potato. I see a baked potato today, I'm like, oh, yes, please. Now,
I know that's a high glossmic index, but at the
(15:21):
same time, it's a comfort food to me.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Okay, So let's assume somebody is actually over eating in
terms of sugar and carbs. So the process is you
like the sugar and carbs and you get the dopamine high,
and then you come crashing down and you're adrenaline which
takes which brings you down.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
Well, that plays a part of it, but it also
it's your blood sugar. It fluctuates and they call it
now a high glossmic index. And for our listeners out there,
you know, God Glass, Google, you don't have to work
too hard to figure out what low glossmic indexed foods are.
(16:08):
Just put it in the search bar, and it's amazing
because it's it's what makes it complicated. There is no
two people that have the same brain, and there's no
two people that are going to react to sugar or
caffeine or chocolate or anything. The same way that somebody
is my.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Favorite food groups chocolate. Oh man. Okay, So what's the
long term implications here? What are we talking about here?
What by do by by over indulging in sugars and carbs,
Other than affecting our moved there must be some long term.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Medical Absolutely, absolutely all of that relates to insulin and diabetes.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Diabetes is and it's probably one of the fastest growing.
So there is no difference. Everybody thinks all the body
that's your physical health, and all the brain that's your
mental health. No, thank you, it's brain health. And the
brain controls everything that's going on in the body. The
(17:21):
body keeps score of whatever's going on in the brain.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
So how about a quick recommendation. We've probably scared some
people tonight, including me. What other than self disciplined, what
can you do? Cut down on your sugar and your carbs.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
Educate, become aware you know, Google low glassmic index. I
mean I was brought up, Oh my gosh, you got
to eat grape nuts. They're hot glasmic values and little
did my mom know. So if I want thing to
say to our listeners out there, it's your responsibility educate
yourself and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Okay, So low glycemic index is what we should be
googling tonight, right, Ye, all right, doctor Lee Richardson. I
love the way you kind of tell us the truth. Okay,
but you're doing it in a nice way.
Speaker 5 (18:21):
Well, thank you for your kind words.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Well can take that as a compliment. Okay, Oh I do.
I think you've probably shaken up a few people tonight,
but that's not a bad thing. We'll have you back
as always, doctor Lee Richardson. How can folks get in
touch with the Brain Performance Center if they'd like to
get some information about the Brain Performance Center, Well.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
We've got that good old fashion website, the Brain Performance
Center dot com, and they can find doctor Lee E.
Richardson on LinkedIn.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
Sounds great, sounds great, doctor Richardson. We'll talk soon. Okay,
thanks so much for joining us again. Have a great night.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
When we come back, we're gonna talk about Boston accents,
not only real Boston accents and the one just seeing
the movies with. Who better to talk about this with
than a great friend, Emily Sweeney of the Boston Globe.
And I'm looking forward to talking to Emily, we'll be
back right after the news at the bottom of the hour,
(19:18):
and you can get your Boston accents ready. Go pack
your car if you haven't packed it yet. We'll be back.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Night side with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
All right now. There are some people in other parts
of the country who think that those of us who
grew up in Boston have some form of a Boston accent.
I don't quite frankly, hear that accent at all. However,
the great reporter and social commentator of the Boston Globe,
Emily Sweeney, took on this task to critique Boston accents.
(19:53):
What real Bostonians think about accent portrayals in movies and television. Emily,
I don't even recognize a Boston accent. I recognize all
sorts of weird accents from the count around the country.
But we speak really normally up here, don't we.
Speaker 6 (20:12):
You know, Dan, That's what I think. I mean. I
know sometimes people will be like, wow, your accent, and
I'm like, what, Like, I don't know. I don't hear
it either, but I do hear when I'm bad accent.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Do you say either or either? I say either.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
I say either, why's that?
Speaker 6 (20:30):
I don't you know, that's a good question. I've never
really thought about it too much, Dan, But you know
either either you know either kid?
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Do you say odds or aunt?
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (20:44):
Of course aunt without a doubt, of course.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
So some friends of mine just say, you know, aunt Mary,
aunt Gloria and stuff like that. There's different ways to
pronounce words, So go ahead. I'm not trying to step
on your lines here, and I'm trying to get get
everybody on the same page with us here, because obviously
saying pakrka, that's what you're going to say if you're
in habit.
Speaker 6 (21:06):
Hobbit square right, right right, And as all Bostonians know,
you wouldn't even try to pack your car and have
it yet, which is the whole thing. Is kind of weird, of.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Course, right, unless you were conducting a protest or something,
and then you have first something like that. No, so look,
we do have Let's let's explain it for people who
were knowing listening to the show and have never been
to this area before. Many of us feel that the
letter are is a superfluous letter of the twenty six
(21:36):
consonant and vowels that make up you know, the English
language correct.
Speaker 6 (21:42):
Yeah, you know, it just kind of rolls off the
tongue and just disappears sometimes.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
You know.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
What I mean is as opposed it disappears.
Speaker 6 (21:49):
Yes, okay, I got you, and yeah, so so, and
it's kind of a it's an interesting topic. You know.
I got to interview a bunch of my colleagues at
the Globe for a Globe Today TV segment, and we
also interviewed members of the public just about like, you know,
what are some of the best and worst Boston accents
(22:10):
we've heard on TV and movies? And I'm sure you
can think of some. I mean, some bad ones come
to mind immediately for me. But you know when when
some people, when people try to do the Boston accent
and they don't pull it off, it's, uh, it can
be very distracting.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
I find it'd be like a Southern It would be
a Southern accent somebody who's really not from the South
and tried to throw a few U walls in there,
and you realize they're you guys said that the accent
of the actors in The Perfect Storm were pretty bad.
Wasn't Mark Wahlberg in The Perfect Storm? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (22:45):
You know, I think macky mock gets a pass when
we when the perfect storm is mentioned, and I think,
you know, Coloney didn't even really attempt it, which is fine,
you know, because not everybody in Boston also has.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
An act that if you.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
Yeah, yep, yeap of it.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
I'm i'm a because he's from.
Speaker 6 (23:12):
Oh yeah, and you know Mark always nails it, you know,
Casey Affleck always nails.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
It, you know what.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
One of my colleagues, John Chestell, pointed out that Jeremy Renner,
who apparently not from this area, but also nails the
accent down in the town like you don't even notice it.
He sounds so natural. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hopefully, yes, yes, thankfully,
and uh, you know, he did a great job with it.
(23:41):
One of the real bad ones that got mentioned when
I was talking to my colleagues was, I don't know,
if you've seen the movie Thirteen Days, Kevin Costna totally
just massacres what I think is supposed to be a
Boston accent.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
As you probably know, my audience is gonna hate me
for telling this story again, but I played a major
role in Reversal of Fortune, which was the club from
the story on air with it, I mb D or
I m dB, whatever the hell it is credit, Okay,
And we were nominated for the Movie of the Year.
Jeremy Irons won the Academy Award that year for Great Performance.
(24:20):
Glenn Close played Sonny Bulah, Sonny van Buloh. She never
got out of the bed, I think in the entire Yeah,
the entire movie. Uh. And and we lost that year
to Costner in Dances with Wolves. So I don't like Costner. Okay,
I haven't spoken to him. Since you've hit a little
(24:43):
bit of a nerve with Kevin Costner.
Speaker 6 (24:44):
Well, now you have another reason too.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Well. I never had spoken to him before either, but
I haven't certainly spoken to him since that's a true
story that I was in that movie and we lost
the Dances with Wolves. That dam I know. Well, you
know it would have been I would have had a
perfect record, one for one, you know, one movie, one roll,
one on screen, one oscar. That's I would have gone
(25:08):
out bat in a thousand. But now you know, so
don't have an oscar.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
That's right, there's plenty. It's on you, you know what
I mean, The next the next film, you know, well,
you have a good feeling about it.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
Well, people say to me, when's the next one? And
I say, well, you know pretty much. Jeremy Irons and
Glenn Close and I we all keep reading scripts and
we just can't kind of agree, you know sometimes you
know that sort of thing. But as I say, I
want to say to you that one of my on
my bucket list is to win an Oscar.
Speaker 6 (25:38):
There you go, of course Oscar?
Speaker 2 (25:44):
So who was?
Speaker 6 (25:45):
And I'm sure you'll give a great speech too.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Oh yeah, the music will be playing as soon as
I grabbed the microphone.
Speaker 6 (25:52):
You hold on to that mic too, even when the
big like.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Hold on, Well, Michael Logue time.
Speaker 6 (26:03):
So what else you're working on?
Speaker 2 (26:05):
This seems like this seems like a good one. You
guys the Globe are becoming multi media, multi dimension all
over there.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
Oh yeah, no, totally. I mean the Globe Today TV
show is great. I always have a great time being
on it, and you know my colleagues are on. It's
on if you want to check it out every weekday
at five o'clock on Nesson. It's worth checking out. And
you know, one of the things I'll be doing for
the show will be doing a segment on one of
(26:32):
the unsolved murders that I'm writing about for the Cold
Case Files. That's one of the series that I write
for the Globe about unsolved murders.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
And then of course to come back for that one
talk about that. The other thing too, is for sure,
I know that you guys probably hang with John Henry
over in the in the cafeteria most days, right if
you see.
Speaker 6 (26:55):
Henry, well, you know, Linda Henry is always around and
she's very, very involved, So definitely see her a lot
in the news groom and in the building.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Well here's I tried to reach the Globe yesterday morning.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
Okay, my Sunday.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Newspaper to which I'm addicted, okay, as a Globe subscriber.
Speaker 6 (27:16):
Since like I like to hear that good Oh yeah,
a long time globe.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
My Sunday globe was late yesterday morning, totally threw off
my schedule coffee, breakfast, everything, okay. And then this morning
this morning, to add insult to injury, as I walked
down my short little driveway and noticed that my globe
was there on time, well what appeared to be my globe.
It was a copy of the Cape Card Times.
Speaker 6 (27:41):
Oh really, okay, So it's been a bad week, Emily,
and so when you say, oh, man, John or.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Anybody over there, just let him know that they have
one upset subscriber here and the people of the Cape,
because I'm in residence in the Cape during the summer
months doing my program.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
Yeah, no, totally.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Well, you know what, if you have a friendship or
your your close relationship with Henry family.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
You.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
Should then and and you pay for it, so you
should get your paper on time. And actually we do
have I can talk to folks at work tomorrow and
you know, offline I can maybe get a little bit
more of your info and you know, won't make sure
it gets faced.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Yeah, no problem. No, what happens is they told me today,
I talk when you when you get the Globe person,
the people who you talk to about missing your paper
or your paper being late, they're not in Dochester. They're
in Shoenex, Arizona.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Oh really, Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
Well what they say is no Boston accent.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
No Boston accent at all. In fact, I have no
idea what accent it is. But it's not in Boston
accent that I'm certain of. They say, well, you live
in an area where we can't redeliver. So I'm thinking
they must be like one person sit here in the
Cape who has to do the whole cape, and once
they miss you, it's like express.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
Oh geez, I'm sorry to hear that. And I am
gonna I am going to follow up on this, Dan seriously.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Well, I really do appreciate it, because I gotta tell you,
I love the Globe. I love the Herald. We want
to be a newspaper town. And it's very frustrating because look,
in this day and age, a lot of people are
cutting back on this, cutting back on that. And to me,
the Globe is a critical portion of my day, okay,
And I really really mean that. And I read everything.
I read Chesto in business, i read the sports page
(29:36):
Forust Shaughnessy, and I'm gonna be talking with Tara Sullivan
about the big Patriots game next. So I love the Globe. Okay,
I don't necessarily love the editorial page, but I love
the Globe as a newspaper, to be honest with you,
and I do, I really do. Anyway, Thanks for letting
me have a little bit of fun. I always have
(29:59):
you just concerned you're a huge asset to that if
they ever ever do anything bad to you, I'm dropping
the I'm dropping the subscription.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
Well, thank you, Dan, I appreciate that and knocking. Hopefully
nothing like that will happen.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
So no, you you you are an m d P.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
Thanks Dan, seriously, I mean seriously, you know I'm a
big fan.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Thanks so much for joining us tonight.
Speaker 6 (30:25):
And we're looking forward. All right, thank you, Okay, thanks definitely.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
All right, a lot of information there, folks. Then we
get back. We're going to talk about something really good,
which the Patriots yesterday on to Cincinnati. They won in Cincinnati.
Tara Sullivan of the Boston Globe sports columnist who's a
great writer and really is a great sports columnist, joins
us right after the break here on Nightside.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
Now back to Dan Ray live from the Window World
night Side Studios on WBZ News Radio.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
Well, one of our guests, as is not available for
some reason. We don't know why, but that's the way
it works sometimes here on night Side, Tara Sullivan and
the Boston Globe. She was gonna tell us maybe she's
recovering from too much celebration or just is a little
too tired to join us, but we were going to
talk about the Patriots victory over Cincinnati yesterday. I think
(31:19):
that was a surprise to most of US sports fans.
So congratulations to coach Mayo, who was a really great guy.
I had him on the show a few years ago.
He had had a dog who was not treated well
when that dog was put in a kennel. He's a
really he's a great coach. I think certainly what he
(31:41):
did on Sunday was great, and he's also a great individual,
a great human being, and obviously his team responded very
well yesterday. Now, when we get back on the other
side of the nine o'clock News, we're going to talk
about a story that went front and center today. It
has been a story that's been around about a year.
Story that big prostitution ring that was running out of Cambridge, Watertown, Massachusetts. Cambridge,
(32:09):
Massa in Massachusetts, Watertown, Massachusetts and also in a suburb
just outside of Washington, d C. A high end prostitution ring.
And there are about twenty eight alleged customers of that
ring who, under no circumstances understandably want their identities exposed.
(32:30):
And there was a hearing today in front of the
Massachusetts State Supreme Court in which it was argued that
there should be not only a hearing but that information
should be public records. So it was sort of like
balancing the interest of the public in knowing because and
(32:50):
I'll explain on the other side of the nine why
the argument is that is an interest in the public
knowing versus the right of privacy of these individuals customers, who,
as the US Attorney in Massachusetts mentioned last November when
the diamonds came down that as customers, they are breaking
the law as well. So we'll get to all of that,
(33:11):
and then later on tonight, beginning at ten o'clock, we
will preview tomorrow night's presidential debate between former President Donald
Trump and current Vice President Kamala Harris. And we want
to know what you think is going to happen, and
I think it's going to be very interesting. We will
broadcast that debate live tomorrow night at the ABC feed
will be here beginning at nine o'clock right until the
end of debate, about an hour and a half till
(33:32):
ten thirty. We'll get back to all of that right
after the nine o'clock news on Night Side
