Yeah. 67 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 3: Sure, Sonday won five of these awards for the Tucson 68 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 3: and the Tucson Hybrid, So those are compact SEZs, the 69 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 3: Palisade Hybrid, which is a mid size three row SEV, 70 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 3: and then the Ionic five and Ionic nine, which are 71 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 3: two and three row electric SUVs. So the Hondai story 72 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 3: has really been over the past fifteen years or so, 73 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 3: they just been this really incredible run up in vehicle 74 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 3: quality and they've they're they're making vehicles that are are 75 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 3: just as good as any out there, and it's, uh, 76 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 3: you know, when they show up like this on an 77 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 3: a list like this, you know they're they're really making 78 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 3: good stuff and and pretty much every vehicle segment available. 79 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 3: So we're we're super pleased with those other good options 80 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 3: in the SUV categories on the Passport two row mid 81 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 3: size suv, the GMC Acadia and Yukon XL those are 82 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 3: mid size and large SUVs, and the c X nine 83 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 3: and Mass the c X ninety plug in hybrid is 84 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 3: a good option. So we got something really for everyone. 85 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 2: And what are these? Uh? The prices? Is price a 86 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 2: big factor? Obviously reliability and safety for particularly for family 87 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 2: cars have to be a factor. But I got to 88 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 2: believe when you have a family that the prices, uh 89 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 2: is a consideration as well. These all you know, within 90 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 2: a relatively reasonable price range. 91 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 3: Absolutely, so you know the average transaction prices in the 92 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 3: range now, which seems crazy to me, but that's where 93 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 3: it is. And you broke up, Zach. 94 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 2: You broke us up on us, and so give it. 95 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 2: We missed the number you threw out there. 96 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 3: What's fifty thousand dollars? I'm sorry? 97 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 2: How much? 98 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 3: Fifty? 99 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 4: Wow? 100 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 2: Wow? So yeah, so it's getting up there. 101 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 3: It's getting up there. 102 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 4: Yeah. 103 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 3: So anything under that I would consider as a win. 104 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 3: And some of these vehicles come in well under that. 105 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 3: So the Tucson and Tucson Hybrid are in the thirty 106 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 3: thousand dollars range thirty to forties. You can get then 107 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 3: a Chord and Accord hybrid in that range as well. 108 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 3: Honda Ridgeline is getting a bit closer to forty. Kia 109 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 3: Carnival also a bit closer to forty but there's there's 110 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 3: a lot of options in there that aren't going to 111 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 3: put you in that fifty and above range. The Yukon 112 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 3: XL that that if you need a large suv, you're 113 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 3: going to have to pay for it for sure. But 114 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 3: if you if you just want a good, solid compact 115 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 3: suv for you know, your growing family, and DAI Tucson 116 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 3: is a great option.

And you have 185 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 2: a big fundraising event. First of all, explain what the 186 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 2: Saltwater Initiative does. I think that's important, and then we'll 187 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 2: talk about the fund raising event and how people can it. 188 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 2: Sounds like it's going to be a great time. 189 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 5: Yeah, sure, yes. Saltwater Initiative we provide vacations for families 190 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 5: that have autistic children and limited financial means to take 191 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 5: their own vacation. And we do this by partnering with 192 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 5: hotels and resorts on Cape Cod in the spring and 193 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 5: in the fall, and we book the rooms ahead of 194 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 5: time and then we have people apply for the vacations 195 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 5: and it's yeah, it's working out really well. We hit 196 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 5: our goal last year of sixty families. This year because 197 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 5: the need is there. We have to turn so many away. 198 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 5: Our goal this year was initially seventy five, but I 199 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 5: think we can touch that and I want to go 200 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 5: up to eighty. 201 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 2: So yeah, yes. 202 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, And thirty three people apply for this cycle of 203 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 5: vacations in the spring, and we have forty rooms held, 204 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 5: so you know, the need is there, as I said, 205 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 5: and I basically created a bit of a wait list, 206 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 5: so we more or less have enough families for the 207 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 5: fall right now. Two. But yeah, so that said, we 208 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 5: need to fundraise. We have money for the spring cycle. 209 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 5: But this fundraiser March twenty first is really gonna get 210 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 5: us in good shape for our fall cycle of vacation. 211 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 2: Before we get to the fundraise. So let me just 212 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 2: understand the mechanics of it. So if a family is 213 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 2: eligible and they apply to you, what do you do 214 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 2: for the family. You basically put them up at one 215 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 2: of the hotels or motels on the cape so they 216 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 2: have access to beaches, obviously, hence the name Saltwater Initiative. 217 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 2: Is it three or four day? What do they get 218 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,719 Speaker 2: in terms of time time on vacation. 219 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 5: If you will, So we found what works well well, 220 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,319 Speaker 5: we want to get as many people down there as 221 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 5: we can, and a lot of the times these families 222 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 5: it's harder to get away from more than just a weekend, 223 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 5: so a weekend works well. So we do weekends in 224 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 5: the spring and in the fall. We also give them 225 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 5: one hundred dollars to a restaurant. If there's a restaurant 226 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 5: is in the hotel, it's you know, it's that gift card. 227 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 5: If there's not one in the hotel, we do one 228 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 5: close by, and we give them a fifty dollars visa 229 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 5: card that might help them cover transportation as you were 230 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 5: just saying, gas prices are crazy, or they can use 231 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 5: it for snacks and entertainment down there. 232 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 4: So yeah, that's what a great. 233 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 2: Wet, what a great program.

Other than that, 345 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 2: I know, I want to know next year a little 346 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 2: earlier so I can attend. 347 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 5: Okay, thanks, Well, in advance, I will I will give 348 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 5: you yep, I'll give you all the info. All right, 349 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:34,919 Speaker 5: thanks Dan, All right, talk to you. 350 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 2: So when we get back, we're going to I guess 351 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 2: explain the difference here. You buy some food that is 352 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 2: labeled natural or you buy some food that is labeled 353 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 2: uh natural or healthy, and you figure that's all I 354 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 2: need to know, well, maybe you need to think a 355 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 2: little bit more. We're going to talk with Natalie Levoy. 356 00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 2: She's an associate professor of resource economics at U mass Amherst. 357 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 2: Back with Natalie Lavoid right after the news at the 358 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 2: bottom of the hour. 359 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: It's Night Side with Dan on Boston's news radio. 360 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 2: You know, when you purchase food in a grocery store 361 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 2: and you see it labeled naturally, you're probably more likely 362 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,880 Speaker 2: to buy it. But Cave and Mpdor not all foods 363 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 2: labeled natural are more nutritious than their counterparts, and products 364 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 2: listed as healthy may contain non sugar sweetness are significantly 365 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 2: more likely to meet the FDA's proposed healthy criteria. With 366 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 2: us is Professor Natalie Lovoir. I mispronounced her name before, 367 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 2: so I apologize for that. Professor Natalie Lovoi, Professor of 368 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 2: Research Resource Economics at YOU mass Amherst. Professor. They don't 369 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 2: make it easy for us when we're shopping these days. 370 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 2: There's so many different little words they use, which I 371 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 2: know get government approval, and sometimes those words mean different 372 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 2: things to different people, and sometimes those words can be misleading. 373 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 2: Tell us about it. 374 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,439 Speaker 6: Yes, it's very it can be very confusing when you 375 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 6: get to the supermarket and you see all these labels, 376 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 6: and especially all the natural label on a product, and 377 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:25,119 Speaker 6: so those natural labels are not regulated. And the fact 378 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 6: is that many consumers research shows that, you know, they're 379 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 6: very in a hurry to make decisions, and they see 380 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 6: all these claims on the package and assume that it 381 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 6: means that the product is more nutritious. And so what 382 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 6: our research is about is trying to sort of try 383 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 6: to confirm or debunk that myth that these products may 384 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 6: be more nutritious. 385 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 2: And so what we did, so let me ask you 386 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 2: a question if I can't. Obviously, when you're in the 387 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 2: fruit and vegetables aisles and all of that, the big 388 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 2: thing you have now is or gainic. That's the phrase 389 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 2: that you see, and is organic tends to be more expensive. 390 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 2: Just I know that's not exactly what we're talking about, 391 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 2: but I'm hoping that you might give me some guidance 392 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 2: on that because sometimes I'm thinking, you know, should I 393 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 2: pay eight ninety nine for those strawberries because they say 394 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 2: they're organic? What is your sense on that? And then 395 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 2: I want to come back to the other distinctions that 396 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 2: we are going to talk about but the word organic 397 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 2: just went through my mind and impetuously I have to 398 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 2: ask that is the phrase organic really important? 399 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 6: So it depends on what you care about. So organic 400 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:44,679 Speaker 6: it's a process how the food is actually grown, and 401 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 6: so it's grown without pesticides, without herbicide, and it's labeled 402 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 6: that that one is actually regulated. And so if you 403 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 6: choose to purchase an organic product, it's because you care 404 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 6: about those characteristics of the product. But the organic product 405 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 6: itself doesn't mean that it's more nutritious. And by nutritious, 406 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 6: what we're thinking about is the level of saturated fat, 407 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 6: the level of sodium, the level of sugar. These are 408 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 6: the bad things and. 409 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 2: The bad stuff yeah. 410 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 6: Yes, and fiber, and so organic does not mean more nutritious. 411 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 6: It just means that it's grown without pesticide, without turbicide. 412 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 6: Some people care about that, okay. 413 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 2: So let me let me let me ask you a 414 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 2: quick follow up on that, and then I do want 415 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 2: to get back to to to what we were originally 416 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 2: talking about. But just for clarification, a lot of people say, well, 417 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 2: anything that's grown with pesticides, that's going to be you know, 418 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 2: potentially carcinogenic long term. Honest studies which have shown that. 419 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 2: I mean, I only remember seeing organic the last few 420 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 2: years as label, and I'm just wondering if there are 421 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 2: studies which you know, to say, okay, organic means no pesticides. 422 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 2: I get that, but it is and I remember Silent 423 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 2: Spring with Rachel Carson and all of that. Ore the 424 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 2: studies that show that the blueberries that are organic actually 425 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 2: have are safer or is the is this a belief 426 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 2: that someone in the FDA has. I'm just trying to 427 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 2: understand that. And then then I promise we'll go back 428 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 2: to the other, the other part of the questions. 429 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 6: Yes, you're taking me a little bit away from from 430 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 6: the topic. Okay, what Yeah, it's it seems like, for example, 431 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 6: the European countries have removed life phot sate from allowed pesticides. 432 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 6: I think because there is some link between cancer, especially 433 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,360 Speaker 6: for farmers that are applied the pesticides. 434 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, fair. 435 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,679 Speaker 2: Enough, Okay, so let's get back to the topic at 436 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,360 Speaker 2: hand of I'm sorry, but it's not often I get 437 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 2: to speak to experts in fields that I actually have 438 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 2: questions in my own mind as well. So let us 439 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 2: come back to when we see the word natural, I 440 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 2: think your message is it doesn't necessarily mean what most 441 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 2: of us think natural means. You're telling me that most 442 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 2: of us think it means more nutritious than the counterparts. 443 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,360 Speaker 2: Not necessarily. 444 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 3: Correct. 445 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 6: So there are a research that showed that consumers when 446 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 6: they see the natural labels, they believe that it's more nutritious, 447 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 6: it's healthier for them. And so what we did is 448 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 6: we took we looked at thousands of packaged food products 449 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 6: introduced in the US, and we tried to we looked 450 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 6: at the nutrition of it and to determine whether those 451 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 6: products that had those natural labels were they're more nutritious 452 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 6: than those without. And again by nutritious, I mean mean 453 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 6: did they have less saturated fat, less sugar, less sodium, 454 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 6: Maybe they had more fiber, that would mean that they 455 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,160 Speaker 6: would be more nutritious. And we did not find that. Okay, 456 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 6: so we cannot so we cannot say reliably that, oh, 457 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 6: if you see a natural label, that means it's more nutritious. 458 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 6: In fact, we found we found some products where you know, 459 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 6: the they had more saturated fat. Breads with certain claims 460 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,679 Speaker 6: had more saturated fat, and we found other products that 461 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 6: had you know, some good characteristics that were labeled natural. 462 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 2: Okay, So let's let's get to the other word, which 463 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,199 Speaker 2: is healthy. As a consumer, when I would see the 464 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 2: word healthy, I would not assume anything about that word. 465 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 2: I would think that that is just an adjective that 466 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 2: some marketing person would throw on a product to make 467 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 2: make people will feel better about buying it. How wrong 468 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 2: am I with that assumption? 469 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 4: Yeah? 470 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:11,879 Speaker 6: So the word healthy in the US is regulated, and 471 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 6: that label was just put into effect actually in April 472 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,360 Speaker 6: of last year. And so what it means is that 473 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 6: to be able to use that word on the product, 474 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 6: it needs to have low levels of sugar, sodium, and 475 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 6: saturated fat. 476 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 2: And okay, yes, okay, So if you see the word healthy, 477 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 2: there's actually some standard that they have to meet in 478 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 2: order to use the word healthy. So if you see 479 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 2: something that says healthy, and if you like it or whatever, 480 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,639 Speaker 2: it's better for you. The word natural is the word 481 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 2: that maybe some of us think, oh it's natural. There's 482 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 2: nothing that the word natural actually proves, and it might 483 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 2: even be less healthy for you, is what I'm taking 484 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 2: from our conversation. Is that a good synopsis? 485 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 3: I hope yes, yes. 486 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 6: And so that all the natural claims except for organic 487 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 6: are not regulated and the healthy label is regulated. 488 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. Well that that's very helpful to me as somebody 489 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 2: who does go grocery shopping, and I hope it's health 490 00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:29,640 Speaker 2: helpful to my audience because anything else you are moving, 491 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 2: you're making quick decisions. You're not going up and down 492 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 2: the aisland pondering every purchase that you make. Professor Levoi, 493 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 2: I appreciate it very much. And you are a professor 494 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 2: of resource economics. Is there any sort of a website 495 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 2: you want to direct us to where they could review 496 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 2: what we just talked about or would we just wait 497 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 2: and have you back again as a guest? 498 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 4: Oh? 499 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 6: Yes, so if well, so the you mass has a 500 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 6: press release on paper and there would be links there 501 00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 6: to how to access paper. Also my website just probably 502 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 6: by googling my name, you could find some information there. 503 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 2: Okay, and it's it's Nathalie. It's is it spelled n 504 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 2: A t h A l I E. 505 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 3: That's correct? 506 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 2: Yes, okay, and it's Levoi l A v o I E. 507 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 6: Correct. 508 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 3: Yeah. 509 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 2: All right, thank you very much, professor. We'll talk again. 510 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 6: Thank you, thank you so much. 511 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 2: You're very welcome. Will we come back. We're going to 512 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 2: talk about a field of work that I think is 513 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 2: probably well compensated, but at this point seems to be 514 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 2: understaffed or they need more people to work on airplanes 515 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 2: as air airplane mechanics. We're going to talk with a 516 00:29:55,680 --> 00:30:00,719 Speaker 2: h An Aviation Maintenance Technology program chair. That's mouthful. He's 517 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 2: also a professor at Cincinnati State Technical and Community College. 518 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 2: His name is Jeff Wright. If you are mechanically inclined, 519 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 2: this might be a career path that you may want 520 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 2: to put yourself on. We will explain when we get 521 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 2: back on Nightside on this Thursday night. Little chili outside tonight, 522 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 2: stay warm. 523 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: You're on Nightside with Dan Ray on w b Z, 524 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: Boston's news radio. 525 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 2: Well, everybody knows right now there's a problem for the 526 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 2: TSA employees. They are working without being paid in sort 527 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 2: of a political dust up in Congress, which is truly sad. 528 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 2: And I think that whenever there's any sort of a 529 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 2: government shut down, partial or otherwise, that members of Congress 530 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 2: should also have their pay suspended. But that's a story 531 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 2: for another time. If you've been in an airport laced lately, 532 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 2: you've seen the TSA taffic staffing shortages. But there's also 533 00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 2: a shortage of a airline mechanics with us as Jeff Wright, 534 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 2: He's an aviation maintenance technology program share and a professor 535 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 2: at Cincinnati State Technical and Community College. Jeff, why is 536 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 2: there a shortage of airline mechanics? I would assume people 537 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 2: who are good mechanics would say to themselves, Hey, if 538 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 2: I can work in a car, wouldn't it be great 539 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 2: if I could work on an airplane? What's going on? 540 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 2: Have we hit a point where there's a lot of 541 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,719 Speaker 2: people hitting retirement age? What's going on? 542 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 4: Hey, Dan, Well, thank you for having me on this evening. 543 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 4: I appreciate the opportunity. That's part of the problem is 544 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 4: retirement people like my age. I've been in the industry 545 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 4: now for about forty seven years, so I'm looking toward 546 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 4: that end of my career here, and we're trying to 547 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 4: replace that with younger people. So that's part of the problem. 548 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 4: And then you know you had mentioned like auto mechanics 549 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 4: versus airplane mechanics. We have a series of tests and 550 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 4: education that is required to be an aircraft mechanic. So 551 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 4: a couple different ways you can become one of us. 552 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 4: One is to go through the military and get your 553 00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 4: experience working you know, on helicopters and aircraft in the military. 554 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 4: The other one would be to do it under someone 555 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 4: else's supervision experience. It takes thirty months to do it 556 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 4: under someone's experience, or you can come to a school 557 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 4: like ours, where it takes two years to basically get 558 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 4: the education and their training to become an aircraft mechanic. 559 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 4: And again there's a bunch of tests that you have 560 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 4: to take them to be qualified. To get that license, 561 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 4: it's a certificate from the FAA. 562 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,760 Speaker 2: No. Look, I want to make sure that whoever was 563 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 2: working on the planes that I'm flying on is flying on, 564 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 2: are absolutely qualified. And there have been some embarrassing incidents 565 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 2: in recent years. You know, a couple of these planes 566 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 2: have had a door pop off that they weren't properly closed. 567 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 2: But I'm assuming that airline mechanics have to pass not 568 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 2: only a variety of tests, but they also have to 569 00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:56,840 Speaker 2: make sure, just as they do with airline pilots, that 570 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 2: you know, they're not imbibing in alcoholic beverages. I mean this. 571 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,760 Speaker 2: You know, when I do my show, I can't drink 572 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 2: I believe it or not. Some people probably that's not true. No, No, 573 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 2: but I'm saying I can't. I'm on the AAR five 574 00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 2: nights a week, Monday through Friday. So if I were 575 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 2: to go to dinner with you before my show and 576 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,000 Speaker 2: you're going to have a beer glass of wine, I'm not. 577 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 2: It's as simple as that, because it's just I'm not 578 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 2: required not to do that. But that's that's the way 579 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 2: I operate. I would assume that there must be some 580 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 2: restrictions on airline mechanics because they have the lives of 581 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 2: at sometimes hundreds of people in their hands. Is am 582 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 2: I correct on that. I'm just making an assumption. 583 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 4: So we have drug testing. The FAA has drug testing 584 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 4: for basically mechanics. So I used to work in the 585 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 4: airlines and I would get a call and random called 586 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 4: at my office and say, Jeff, you need to come 587 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 4: to the admin building for a drug test. And I 588 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 4: had thirty minutes to report to the admin building for 589 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 4: a drug test. So it's just kind of a you know, 590 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 4: a random thing. So they do keep track of us, 591 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 4: and we keep track of each other. Obviously, like you said, 592 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 4: we don't want anybody incapacitated you're working on aircraft or 593 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 4: flying aircraft. Though the industry kind of you know, regulates 594 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,480 Speaker 4: and kind of overseas itself. 595 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 2: Okay, how much of a shortage is there around the country. 596 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 2: I'm sure that there are probably some airports where you're 597 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,759 Speaker 2: staffed up, some airports maybe where you're you're not as 598 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 2: staffed up overall, are you down? What's the numbers? 599 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 4: Well, Boeing does a yearly analysis and they're saying, by 600 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,799 Speaker 4: like twenty forty we're going to be short like six 601 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 4: hundred thousand mechanics. I don't know if that's actually going 602 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 4: to be a true number. And on I know in 603 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,800 Speaker 4: our particular area here in Cincinnati, we're kind of a 604 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 4: hub for aviation. We've got a pretty good sized airport here. 605 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 4: We've got Amazon operates a hub, DHL operates a hub here. 606 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 4: Plus we've got to all the airlines coming out of 607 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 4: CBG and then we have GE's headquarters is in Cincinnati, 608 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 4: so we have quite a few My graduates work for GE, 609 00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 4: building and testing engines, and of course working over at 610 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 4: the airport for companies that support Amazon and DHL. So 611 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 4: the need in our particular area is pretty high. Now 612 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,600 Speaker 4: in some areas of the country it's probably not. But again, 613 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 4: I know, particularly here locally we do have a high need. 614 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,360 Speaker 4: So our graduates, our students are in a high demand. 615 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,399 Speaker 2: Okay, so let me talk. Let me talk about your 616 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 2: graduates and your students. There's a lot of kids who 617 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 2: go to the Ivy League colleges and they become an 618 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 2: archaeology graduate and they get out of school and it's 619 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,839 Speaker 2: like they have a great degree, but not a big 620 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 2: demand for archaeologists. Okay. So folks who are graduating from 621 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 2: you a school, it sounds to me like they have 622 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,759 Speaker 2: to tell the mark that they're not getting through with 623 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 2: you know, as we would call gentlemen c's or gentlemen ds. 624 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 2: They soon they get through and they pass with you know, 625 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 2: flying colors, or they get the certificate. What are the 626 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,880 Speaker 2: chances that they're going to have a job within six months? 627 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 4: I would say they would have a job before they 628 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 4: left school, because our particular program has a co op, 629 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 4: So the second year, while you're going to school, you're 630 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,400 Speaker 4: going to get a job. We're going to help you 631 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 4: get a job. So I would say it's like ninety 632 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 4: I would say in my particular classroom, I've got twenty 633 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 4: five students in my classroom, might say ninety percent of 634 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,600 Speaker 4: them have jobs. In aviation already, all right, and then 635 00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 4: the start to eat and is here, Yeah, what's the 636 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:22,800 Speaker 4: age range of your students? 637 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,800 Speaker 2: These folks who are going back for a second career. 638 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 2: Are these folks who would work? 639 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 3: Take I do have? 640 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 4: I have career changers typically, you know, high school student, 641 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 4: eighteen year old coming out of high school. You know, 642 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 4: we've got a pretty diverse population of men and women, 643 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 4: and so then they come out of high school. But 644 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 4: we also have career changers. You know that they've been 645 00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,640 Speaker 4: out and out in whatever industry working and then they 646 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,919 Speaker 4: see that maybe that's not the path they want to take, 647 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,120 Speaker 4: so they come to us, and we get folks coming 648 00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,319 Speaker 4: out of the military, so we go, they'd be really 649 00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 4: fund of the best population. 650 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 2: Real quickly, because I'm running a little bit running out 651 00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,839 Speaker 2: of time here. It's a fascinating topic. What are they 652 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 2: starting off with as a salary, you know, working at 653 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 2: a major airport. 654 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,759 Speaker 4: Sure are co ops while they're in school are making 655 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,880 Speaker 4: twenty to twenty five dollars an hour. So that's why 656 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 4: while they're doing our education, graduates make between thirty and 657 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 4: forty eight dollars an hour to start. 658 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,439 Speaker 2: Okay, So if you're talking forty hours to a week. 659 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,919 Speaker 2: That's that's close to one hundred thousand dollars a year. 660 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 4: Absolutely, that's a great career. 661 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 3: Make money. 662 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,799 Speaker 2: Okay, now maybe not. We're heart in most East, the 663 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:30,800 Speaker 2: eastern half of the US, so maybe we're going to 664 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 2: pick up a few students tonight. But for those who 665 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,840 Speaker 2: live in Boston or New England, and maybe you're not 666 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:40,040 Speaker 2: going to go to Cincinnati State Technical and Community College, 667 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 2: and these are community college degrees that they're not They're 668 00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:45,839 Speaker 2: not walking on there with a bachelor so they don't 669 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 2: have to worry about reading Shakespeare or doing a few 670 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,240 Speaker 2: other items. I think this community college is a great 671 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,239 Speaker 2: if you're in Boston, are you listening tonight somewhere other 672 00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 2: than Cincinnati? Can they just google you and find other schools? 673 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 4: Absolutely? Look for Aviation Maintenance Technology school a MT school 674 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 4: the FAA website FAA dot gov. You can go out 675 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 4: to FA dot gov and look for AMT schools, maintenance 676 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,799 Speaker 4: mechanics schools.
