Speaker 1: It's night Side with Dan Ray.

00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 2: I'm telling you Boston's Beach Radio. Well, happy Monday everyone.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 2: A friend of mine calls Monday moon Day. But it

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 2: is a happy Monday because this gives us five days,

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 2: five days.

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.

7
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 2: Friday to chat and talk back and forth and interview

8
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 2: guests and talk ask questions of different and interesting people.

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Ray. I'm the host of Nightside.

10
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 2: We are about to wrap up the month of March,

11
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: and it looks as if March is gonna end fairly quietly.

12
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 2: It's been a cold month and we were on to April.

13
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: The Red Sox will be home by Friday night. They'll

14
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 2: open up on Friday night. So all's right with the world.

15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: Baseball is in order. Rob Brooks also is back in

16
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 2: the control room. He had some time off a couple

17
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: of weeks ago.

18
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: He's doing just great.

19
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: And also on a very positive note. I just had

20
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 2: a really lovely conversation with our friend of many many years,

21
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: decades in fact, Jordan Rich, who I think all of

22
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: you know, is dealing with a couple of medical issues

23
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 2: on his own, but he sounded remarkably strong. He is

24
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: becoming sort of a boxer by necessity, the conditioning and

25
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: the discipline of boxing and the footwork and the combinations

26
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: have been of great help to Jordan. And he just

27
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 2: sounded terrific tonight. Just on the phone with him for

28
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: a few minutes before the show, and I was kidding

29
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 2: him back and forth, and we're very close friends and

30
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 2: good friends, and I just am happy to report he

31
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: sounded fabulous. So what's coming up tonight, Well, a little

32
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 2: bit later on tonight, we're going to talk about a

33
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: suggestion that I would like to make, and that is

34
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: that going forward, if there is ever a situation like

35
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: this horrific set of circumstances that were imposed upon TSA

36
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: agents around the country, agents who had if any capacity,

37
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 2: government workers have any capacity go to work and they

38
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: are not going to be paid, then Congress should not

39
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: be paid. We'll talk about that. And also the situation

40
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 2: in Iran is did not look great over the weekend.

41
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: There was a huge plane that was hit by Iranian

42
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: rockets at a Saudi US plane and a wax which

43
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: basically are critical. There's only about thirteen of them in

44
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 2: the in existence, and we're going to talk to all

45
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 2: of that. I guess the question is going to be

46
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: did the Trump administration under estimate the resilience of the

47
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: Iranian military? Maybe that will change. I guess we can

48
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: only hope so. But we have four great guests here

49
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: in the eight o'clock ur. We're starting off with doctor

50
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 2: Aisha Mannering. She's a pediatrician, but he's also just as

51
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: importantly a parent, and she's gonna address a concern about

52
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: makeup companies marketing products to kids, in some cases kids

53
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: under ten, uh, and to boys and girls, but I

54
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 2: assume more so to girls. And actually some governments around

55
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: the world have been investigating some of these companies. Uh,

56
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 2: Doctor Aisher Mannering, Welcome to Nightside.

57
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 3: Happy Monday, Dan, thank you for having me or Monday.

58
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: As a friend of mine?

59
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 3: Call exactly.

60
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's all sorts of nicknames for Monday. That's one

61
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: I can use in the air. Anyway, what's going on here?

62
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: I see the idealized versions of people. The movie stars have,

63
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: you know, brushed up photographs so they look just perfect.

64
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: Has this really seek seeping down to kids with their

65
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: their image of their self images and they now are

66
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 2: you know, using makeup and cosmetics before they turn ten

67
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: years old? What are we doing to our kids?

68
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, unfortunately, I am seeing this trend in

69
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 3: younger and younger kids. You know, I've worked with kids

70
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 3: for about fifteen years or so, a little over now

71
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 3: and probably in the past like two to three years.

72
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 3: You know, I've seen younger kids like maybe like anywhere

73
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 3: from like eight nine, ten, and then it's between years.

74
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 3: They are using multiple products for skincare routines, anti aging routines,

75
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: and and yes, makeup as well. But you know, it's

76
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 3: really this like increase in being obsessed with our skin

77
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 3: and preventing wrinkles and things like that that I've seen

78
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 3: as somewhat of an alarming change that I think we

79
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 3: as parents really need to pay attention to.

80
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: Well.

81
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 2: I have to assume that the is related to Internet

82
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: and Facebook and Instagram and TikTok, where a lot of

83
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: these children think that the most important thing is not

84
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 2: the familiar relationship or how they're progressing in school at

85
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 2: whatever age they are, but they all assume that somehow

86
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 2: they're all going to become movie stars. I know that

87
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: there's always been people in this country, people who have

88
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 2: aspired to unrealistic careers, But what fault or what responsibility

89
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 2: is it to the parents of these thoughts.

90
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 3: Yes, I think you absolutely need to start having these

91
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 3: conversations at home. I mean all of this kind of

92
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 3: starts in the home to some degree, because you know,

93
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 3: we're going to face these challenges. Social media is here

94
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 3: to stay. AI is here to stay. We have to

95
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 3: kind of learn it, understand it, and help our children

96
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 3: navigate around it because you know, we had the opportunity

97
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 3: to exist in a world that didn't have such a

98
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 3: predominance of these things. But our children, I mean, this

99
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 3: is what they know, and you know it's not going anywhere.

100
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 3: So that social obsession with perfection when it comes to

101
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 3: beauty using you know, filters and photoshop and AI, I

102
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 3: mean that is around his stay. So you kind of

103
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 3: have to start talking to your kids about really, you know,

104
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 3: what makes us a good person that we like being,

105
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 3: and you know what what do we consider to be

106
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 3: values that we want to put out into the world.

107
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 3: And we need to also help our kids navigate how

108
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 3: to build their own confidence so that they are not

109
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 3: just completely obsessed with this idea of beauty and perfection

110
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:43,799
Speaker 3: and chasing it all the time.

111
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 2: Right, But as they spend time being obsessed with anything,

112
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 2: if if if. Some we see parents who make sure

113
00:06:55,240 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 2: that their their their children are playing sports, which is

114
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: a great positive activity, but some parents kind of lose

115
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 2: it and assume that because their kid can scate or

116
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 2: because their kid can.

117
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: Bounce, they're going to be a number one draft choice

118
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: in the NHL or the NBA. Yeah, realistic, big country

119
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: out there, a.

120
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 2: Lot of people, but this idea of what do I

121
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 2: look like, how do I appear to my friends? That's

122
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 2: tied up in everything that they're about, because so much

123
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: of it is what their identity is. How many friends

124
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: do they have? Am I in with the cool crowd?

125
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 2: We've always had that, We've always had that, but it

126
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: seems to be more intensified, and I can only assume

127
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: it is so much.

128
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 4: I agree.

129
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 3: I agree, Dan, And I think part of it too is,

130
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: like you know, you mentioned we kind of tend to

131
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 3: live in this like extreme culture not you know, it

132
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 3: can't be enough that our kid loves to play a

133
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 3: certain sport. But if they show interest and they're pretty good,

134
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: then we're already thinking, hey, what else can we do

135
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: and how can we get them to the top level?

136
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 3: Instead of stepping back and saying, hey, you know, he

137
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 3: likes this, This is great, he's happy, and he's building

138
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 3: his confidence. But I think part of it is that we,

139
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 3: you know, almost have like lost a little bit of

140
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 3: family connection sometimes when our lives are so busy and so,

141
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 3: you know, we're not necessarily spending that quality family time

142
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 3: as much every day. And I think with social media

143
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 3: taking off and younger and younger kids having access to it,

144
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 3: you know, they tend to look to these influencers as

145
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 3: their role models. And when these influencers are looking so perfect,

146
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 3: you know, all the time, of course, probably with the

147
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 3: help of some additional you know, filters or photoshop, they

148
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 3: tend to like you know, use them as the standards,

149
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 3: which is just not realistic. You know, it's not it's

150
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 3: okay to be at that age and be more interested

151
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 3: in appearance or be more conscious of hygiene. But what

152
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 3: they're having to deal with now that we necessarily didn't

153
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 3: necessarily have to deal with is that like perfection ideal

154
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 3: that's so in their spaces all the time, it's everywhere.

155
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: I have one article that I think you folks might

156
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 2: have sent to us or is in their company article

157
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 2: we c NBC that said that the government of Italy

158
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 2: is investigating I don't even know these companies. There's a

159
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: tool so for and benefit over skincare marketing to children.

160
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: What's that?

161
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 3: Yes, So those are two major retailers of skincare products

162
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 3: and makeup products, and the ag c M, the Italian

163
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 3: Competition Authority, has launched investigations last week into these retailers

164
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 3: for you know, quote unquote unfair commercial practices, stating that

165
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 3: they failed to label the products as you know, not

166
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 3: being intended for minors, and that they have what they

167
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 3: call insidious marketing strategies, which it kind of seems like,

168
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 3: you know, these these brands, these retailers have a big

169
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 3: online in presence of big social media following, and they

170
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 3: have there's a lot of influencers who are kind of

171
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 3: promoting the products sold by the retailers and you know,

172
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 3: not necessarily saying hey, by the way, these are not

173
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 3: intended for kids, and the companies themselves are not labeling

174
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 3: them as such. So that's what that investigation is about.

175
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 2: Well, look, I appreciate your information. How can folks, if

176
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 2: folks are interested, do you have a website? A lot

177
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 2: of the people who come on as guests on our

178
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 2: program have recently written a book or they have a website.

179
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 2: I'm sure you you don't need more more patients in

180
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 2: your practice, but how can people get in touch with

Speaker 2: We'll talk again, will We're gonna come When we come back,

206
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 2: we're going to be talking with a lone expert about

207
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 2: maybe some numbers that are going to frighten you. About

208
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 2: consumer debt in the US. It has hit a record

209
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 2: eighteen point eight trillion dollars. Hopefully you not in involved

210
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 2: in that, but if you are, if you aren't, going

211
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 2: to listen to our next loan expert, Jack Wallace, coming

212
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 2: back on Nightside. You're on night Side with Dan Ray

213
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 2: ONBZ Boston's news radio. Delighted to be joined by Jack Wallace.

214
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 2: He's a lone expert with why refive? The statistics on

215
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 2: how much Americans owe at this point are devastating, Jack Wallace,

216
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 2: Welcome to Nightside, Dan.

217
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 4: It's nice to be back with you and to your listeners.

218
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 2: Consumer debt in the US at the end of twenty

219
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 2: twenty five, three months ago was at a record eighteen

220
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: point trillion dollars. Now, this has nothing to do with

221
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 2: the federal debt. How have we got to the point

222
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: as a country where we owe so much in debt

223
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 2: eighteen point eight trillion dollars.

224
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 4: Well, we don't have a good examp from the federal

225
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 4: government with the amount of debt that they owe. But

226
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 4: you're right, Dan, I mean post COVID, we're back to

227
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 4: debt levels. I mean neo student loans are at one

228
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 4: point seven trillion, credit cards or back up to one

229
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 4: point three trillion, and auto delinquencies in defaults or in

230
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 4: fifteen year highs. I mean, the consumer from a debt standpoint,

231
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 4: is not in very good shape.

232
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: So the question is, and everyone's different. So, however, many

233
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 2: thousands of people are tens of thousands of people are

234
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 2: hearing your voice right now. We see that inflation is

235
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 2: going up as a result of what's going on halfway

236
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: around the world. If people want to try to refi

237
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 2: and consolidate the debt, is that debt just going to

238
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 2: be too much for most people to swallow? Or or

239
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 2: is the idea of consolidating the debt keeping it a

240
00:13:59,040 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 2: little simpler.

241
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: Is that always a good idea?

242
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 4: Well, Consolidating the debt makes you hopefully do a better

243
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 4: job of paying so you don't become delinquent, will become defaulted,

244
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 4: particularly in the area of student loans or even credit cards,

245
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 4: where you have multiple student loans for each year, you're

246
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 4: in college or people have multiple credit cards, and so

247
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 4: if you get it down to one payment a month,

248
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 4: your likelihood of going twinkler and defaulted will go down,

249
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 4: which will help your credit score and hopefully keep it

250
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 4: flat or let it or help it go back up.

251
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 4: But I mean, the big issue is we've got to

252
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 4: get back to what we've talked about before, Dan, is

253
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 4: the budgeting and the fifty to thirty twenty rule. And

254
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 4: you know that's the one where fifty percent is mandatory

255
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 4: and necessities, thirty percent is discretionary, and twenty percent is

256
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 4: either debt reduction or savings for either college or for retirement.

257
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 4: And we've got to take a hard look at that stuff.

258
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 4: And there's no better time to do it right now,

259
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 4: because you're in tax season and most people are either

260
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 4: looking at or have looked at what they spent last year,

261
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 4: and we've got to go back and look. You know

262
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 4: a lot of people put in the mandatory category stuff

263
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 4: that should be in the discretionary category. And you know

264
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 4: those four Starbucks a day, first of all, they should

265
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 4: be drinking dunk and don't copy absolutely on that the

266
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 4: other stuff. But you're right, I mean, you know, you

267
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 4: got to reevaluate your definition of discretionary. I mean, the

268
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 4: other thing going on right now is, you know, while

269
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 4: you're looking or at your tax returns to be filed,

270
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 4: you know, did you have to come up with money

271
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 4: to pay your tax boot this year? Or are you

272
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 4: taking enough money out? And if you're taking enough money out,

273
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 4: he's taking too much money out. But when you get

274
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 4: that tax refund in the next couple of weeks, the

275
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 4: next couple of months, you know what's deploy that in

276
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 4: a positive way of either reducing the deck or putting

277
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 4: it away for the college five twenty nine plan, or

278
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 4: for your kids, or for your own retirement plan.

279
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 2: You know, it's also little things. It's funny we think alike.

280
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 2: Particularly I love Dunkin Donuts, but I do not mind

281
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 2: Dunkin Donuts coffee at Dunkin Donuts coffee shops. I buy

282
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 2: the Dunkin Donuts at the supermarket and I make my

283
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 2: own coffee because you know, it saves money. I mean,

284
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 2: obviously now I will go in and buy buy a glazstick.

285
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: That's my go to after I work.

286
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 4: Out here.

287
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 2: My reward and right, you know, But but every time

288
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 2: I'm thinking to myself, Okay, It's taken me a month

289
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 2: to go through this, uh, this package of dunkin Donuts.

290
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: I would have you know, I know, I know that's

291
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: one way I.

292
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 2: Can beat the system and got to come up with

293
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 2: those ways. And I know that right now interest rates

294
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: are going to be going up. Probably if people were

295
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 2: going to refin, they might think about doing it as

296
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 2: quickly as they can before these interest rates go up,

297
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 2: because I think they are going to be trending up

298
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 2: with in the next couple of months, no matter what happens,

299
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 2: if things go well or badly in Iran.

300
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: I don't want I'm not.

301
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 4: Right, because we did see three rate reductions last year,

302
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 4: so people probably haven't thought about what you just brought

303
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 4: up a refine debt in a while, so you want

304
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 4: to take advantage of that, the reduction of three quarters

305
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 4: of one percent, and if your credit score went up

306
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 4: instead of going down, you may even get more of

307
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 4: a reduction in a refine than what you thought you

308
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 4: were going to get. So I think it's another timely

309
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 4: opportunity to lower the debt load and increase your savings.

310
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

311
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 2: One of the things is that there's an old joke,

312
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 2: as they say, when was the best time to plant

313
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: a tree, and the best time to plant a tree

314
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 2: was yesterday or maybe six months or six years ago.

315
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 2: The best time to get a loan, you know, to

316
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,880
Speaker 2: to reduce your debt is probably last month. Uh if

317
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 2: you wait two or three more months, I suspect those

318
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 2: those the cost of borrowing money consolidating alone is only

319
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: going to be going up again. No one can predict

320
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 2: the future, but it's something people at least should think about.

321
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 2: Now you're with why REFI. So if folks want to

322
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 2: get some information, how can how can we give get

323
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: some they can listen and build on what we've just

324
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 2: talked about.

325
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: What's the easiest, well.

326
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 4: You to whyrefin dot com. But one of the things

327
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 4: that we want to talk just a couple of seconds about,

328
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 4: Dan is you've got over a million barrows with student

329
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 4: loans up there in Massachusetts, and there's been some noise

330
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 4: in the press over the last ten days about Treasury.

331
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 4: You're taking over the collections of the federal student loan

332
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 4: debt program and you know less than third people don't

333
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 4: realize this, but you know, you get one hundred and

334
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 4: eighty billion dollars, nine million people in the fault that's

335
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 4: the bigger than the ASNL crisis was in the eighties

336
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 4: and nineties. And only thirty eight percent of people that

337
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 4: have a federal student loan and there's forty three million

338
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 4: of them are the one point seven trillion dollars outstanding

339
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 4: are on time. So they've really got to pay attention

340
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 4: here because you know, all of the COVID exemptions and

341
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 4: special situations have now expired, all the Biden forgiveness programs

342
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 4: that got declared unconstitutional because he tried to do it

343
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 4: on his own without going through the Congress and getting

344
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 4: it passed by Congress that way. So you've got a

345
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 4: lot of people that were confused, but you know, it's

346
00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 4: time to pay the pipers they took out us to

347
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 4: and loan they didn't get a grant. And so you know,

348
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 4: people are seeing particularly their credit scores as loans went

349
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 4: back into repayment in October twenty three. I mean, you're

350
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 4: seeing numbers that are going you know, the credit score

351
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 4: is going down anywhere is from fifty to one hundred

352
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 4: and seventy six points. And the higher your credit score

353
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 4: was to begin with, the bigger the hit you're going

354
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 4: to take. So we really want to pay attention. You're

355
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 4: you know I can't tell you how timely your broadcast

356
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 4: is tonight.

357
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 2: Well, hopefully a lot of folks are going to pay

358
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 2: attention to what you suggested and why refly is available. Jack,

359
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 2: I'm into my newscast here, so my producer is going

360
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 2: to be in my ear in a second. We will

00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:47,959
Speaker 2: do this again. Let's come back and we'll do it

362
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 2: at some point in the later on in the spring.

363
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 2: Fair enough, did we lose Jack there, Well, please jump

364
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 2: on there and make sure that I don't want to

365
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 2: think I I cut him off. When we come back,

366
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 2: we're going to talk to the young James Brown. The

367

Speaker 2: break at the bottom of the hour. You're on the

376
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 2: Night Side with Dan Ray on WZ Boston's news radio.

377
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 2: All Right, those of you who are music people know

378
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 2: that James Brown, it's the hardest working man in show business.

379
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 2: But he also did a really important event here in

380
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 2: Boston on April fifth, nineteen sixty eighth, the night after

381
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 2: doctor Martin Luther King was assassinated. And a young man

382
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 2: who James Brown befriended now portrays in concert the young

383
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 2: James Brown. That young man is with us. We've publicized

384
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 2: this event for several years here on Nightside, and I'm

385
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 2: delighted to welcome back Tony Wilson. Tony, welcome back to

386
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 2: night Side.

387
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: Hello, Hey you my friend.

388
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 4: How doing good?

389
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 5: How are you doing?

390
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 1: Dad doing Gray?

391
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 2: Well? This is going to be Is this the fourth

392
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 2: or fifth year that you have held this concert to

393
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 2: commemorate what James Brown did. Boston on a night after

394
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 2: doctor King was assassinated, was like many other American cities

395
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 2: ready to.

396
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: Explode.

397
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 2: And James Brown did an entire performance at the Old

398
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 2: Boston Garden, which was televised here in Boston, and people

399
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 2: stayed in and they watched the concert as opposed to

400
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 2: going out in the streets, and and you know, and

401
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 2: maybe causing a bad situation for everybody. And Tony, that

402
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 2: is what I think you try to do, is to

403
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 2: make people aware of what a great public service your

404
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 2: hero James Brown provided the city of Boston in April,

405
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 2: actually in the same very night, April fifth, as your

406
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 2: concert will be this year.

407
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 5: That's exactly right, Dan, Yeah, this would be our ninth year.

408
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: Ninth year. Yeah, time flies, go ahead.

409
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 5: We started twenty seventeen at Roxbury Community College. Mayor Wood

410
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 5: at that time was a commissioner work for the city council,

411
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 5: I mean, and she attended. So every year we've been

412
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 5: doing it there. We did the Region Theater for a

413
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 5: couple of times, we know, and then after Kobe we

414
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 5: came right ahead to a Boston, the heart of Boston,

415
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 5: and we've been doing it ever since. And you know,

416
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 5: it's really important to be saved all the momopop stores.

417
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 5: That's what James Brown did, you know, because historically Boston

418
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 5: is the only city that did not burn down after

419
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 5: Martin Luther King's fascination. I mean, there was a little

420
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 5: wires here and there, but you know, pretty much that's

421
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 5: why they call it, James Brown, say Boston, because everybody

422
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 5: stayed home and they watched the concert.

423
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 1: Well that that was the key to the whole story.

424
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 2: I mean, people wanted to do something, they wanted to

425
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 2: express themselves. You know, members of the black community had

426
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 2: just seen a man of peace cut down by an

427
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 2: assassin's bullet the day before. And I believe that Mayor

428
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:47,719
Speaker 2: Kevin White prevailed upon James Brown to go ahead. I

429
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 2: think the concert was scheduled, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah,

430
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 2: but he went ahead, did the concert. And I forget

431
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 2: what television station broadcast that.

432
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 5: I don't know, Samus w GBH, but it was Okay.

433
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 2: That's what I might have thought. That's the public broadcasting

434
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 2: station in Boston. The other stations. We're covering the news story.

435
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,479
Speaker 2: So tell us about the show. What are people going

Speaker 5: six to ten.

443
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I misread it. My mistake.

484
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 5: we're gonna uh do a little tribute to him. And

485
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 5: also Mark Harris had just passed. You know, he was

486
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 5: our m C for six years.

487
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: Okay, you know this from Luck. There's a lot to

488
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: the show. It is do you do this?

489
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 2: I know you do that every year, but you also

490
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 2: you you perform around the country throughout the year.

491
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:58,199
Speaker 1: Correct.

492
00:27:59,160 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

493
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 5: I fronted James Brown band, you know, and I started

494
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 5: off with Boosey Collins and all them. And then now

495
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,199
Speaker 5: when I moved from City City like I did Boston,

496
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 5: I make sure I use the Boston musicians here, and

497
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 5: that's everywhere I go Chicago. I'll be made second doing

498
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 5: James bon Birthday and I'll be out there in Chicago

499
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 5: doing it. But yeah, this is this is the mission,

500
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,639
Speaker 5: is to get these Bostonian musicians together to work with

501
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 5: each other. Some of them never even shared a stage together.

502
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 5: So I was so glad we was able to put

503
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 5: that together to Strand. And then now we's at Princeville

504
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 5: last year, and you know this year is gonna be

505
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 5: even better because Russell and the auditorium is newly renovated,

506
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 5: so it's gonna be even great.

507
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,479
Speaker 1: Perfect. So again, his I'm gonna give that ticket.

00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 2: for the amount of entertainment you're gonna get, it's gonna

513
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 2: be worth a heck of a lot more than ten dollars,

546
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 2: the Russell Auditorium at seventy one Talbot Avenue in Boston.

547
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 2: How we get back. We're going to wrap the hour

548
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 2: with a final interesting guest, and unfortunately, we're going to

549
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 2: talk about a new mutated COVID variant called cicada that's

550
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 2: spreading across the US, including in Massachusetts New Hampshire. Doctor

551
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 2: a regular guest here on the night Side News Update Hour,

552
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 2: Shira Doctor Shira Duran from the Toughs Hospital and the

553
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 2: Tofts Medical Center, be back on Nightside right after this

554
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 2: Side with Yoston's News Radio. Well, we do often have

555
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 2: on this show, and I am delighted to welcome you back,

556
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 2: doctor Shira Dorone.

557
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 4: Uh.

558
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 2: Doctor Dorone has been a guest in the show and

559
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 2: she provides I think the clearest information that any medical

560
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 2: person provides. Doctor Dorone, welcome back to Night's side. I

561
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 2: know it's not good news tonight, but I know we're

562
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 2: going to get it from you straight and clearly as always.

563
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: Welcome back.

564
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 4: How are you so good to be with you?

565
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 6: And I think you know tonight I'm going to try

566
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 6: to dispel some of the fear mongering that I've been

567
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 6: seeing in the media about this issue.

568
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 2: No fear mongering here, We're just looking for facts and information.

569
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 2: So I love when they use the word this highly

570
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 2: mutated COVID variant called cicada. The idea, I wish that

571
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 2: word mutated wasn't in there, but the highly altered or

572
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 2: the we change variant maybe. And when you think about cicada,

573
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 2: we think of those little bugs that appear every seventeen

574
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,239
Speaker 2: years or something. And but anyway, this this is a

575
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 2: serious topic. COVID has not gone away. It's never going

576
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 2: to go away. It's going to be with us for

577
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 2: a long time. And where did this variant come from.

578
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, so similar to Omicron, which really caused a lot

579
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 6: of suffering, it emerged. It appears that it emerged from

580
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 6: South Africa. Now it's being nicknamed Cicada. All of these

581
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 6: variants get nicknamed by somebody on social media. It's not official,

582
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 6: so I don't like to use those nicknames. It is

583
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 6: just BA three dot two. And the good news is

584
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 6: it's actually been around since twenty twenty four. So contrast

585
00:32:54,080 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 6: that to what happened with Omicron where it emerged. We

586
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 6: found out about it on Thanksgiving and by New Years

587
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 6: we were getting completely buried with death and destruction in

588
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 6: the hospital. This has been smoldering, you know, for years now.

589
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 2: And you say nothing like okay when you say omicron,

590
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 2: Are you talking about what all of us think of

591
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 2: as COVID nineteen, which materialized in this country in late

592
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 2: January of twenty twenty at that that rest home in Washington,

593
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 2: D C. And then we had the event here at

594
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 2: the Long Waff Mary at the real beginning of COVID.

595
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 2: Is that what you're is that the era we're talking about.

596
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 6: No, I'm talking about what happened a year later after

597
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 6: the vaccine came out, just as the vaccine was being

598
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 6: just as the vaccine was being given out and before

599
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 6: everyone got a chance to take it, and we had

600
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 6: a second wave that was really enormous. That was, you know,

601
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 6: so many people were sick who had been able to

602
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 6: avoid it that we had to change the rules about

603
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 6: you know, how long you had to stay home, so

604
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 6: that people started going to work after five days, remember,

605
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 6: instead of ten. And we really saw it and in

606
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 6: many parts of the country that was actually their bigger wave,

607
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 6: although we had seen you know, our hospitalizations were highest

608
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 6: during the first way, so it was so it came

609
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 6: on like a lightning bulb and this is nothing like that, Okay, So.

610
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 2: That's comforting, and it's comforting to know that the COVID

611
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 2: has never gone away. The Boston Globe every week gives

612
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 2: us that there have been eight hundred and whatever five

613
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 2: new cases or six hundred and twenty five and two

614
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 2: or three deaths, So it's always been out there, even

615
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,760
Speaker 2: if we're not as aware of it. What can people

616
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 2: do to avoid this again, this new variant or is

617
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 2: there anything that can be done? I assume there's no

618
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 2: vaccine that is specific towards this new variant. Too early

619
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 2: for that that's right. That's right.

620
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 6: So it's out there, it's smoldering, it's spreading around like

621
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 6: all of the other respiratory viruses, and it's really not

622
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 6: more severe anymore than the other respiratory viruses. So we've

623
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 6: got this soup of viruses that people are just always

624
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 6: spreading around. We did not have a winter wave this year.

625
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 6: We got really lucky in that way. We had another

626
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 6: bad flu season, but we didn't have a COVID winter wave.

627
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 6: So now we have this variant that's circulating increasingly, so

628
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 6: still a really small percentage of what we're seeing in

629
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 6: the United States, less than one percent. And it seems

630
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 6: like it may not be a great match to the

631
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 6: vaccine that came out in the last fall. But we

632
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 6: have time because the vaccine strain for next fall hasn't

633
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 6: even been decided yet, and so likely it will be

634
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 6: part of the conversation should this new strain, which appears

635
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 6: not to be a good match to the existing vaccine,

636
00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 6: be put into the next vaccine, And so I wouldn't

637
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 6: be surprised to the answers. Yes, and then we'll see that,

638
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 6: you know, become protective against this circulating strain. That is

639
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 6: what we call immune evasive. Now, the existing vaccine, as

640
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 6: we have seen many times that we talk about this

641
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 6: with flu, it still protects against severe disease, hospitalization, and death.

642
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 6: It just isn't going to prevent infection to the extent

643
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 6: that it would if we had a close match.

644
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 2: Okay, Now, I just want to ask you, because I'm

645
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 2: sure a lot of people out there are saying to themselves, so, gee,

646
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 2: when did I get my last COVID shot? I always

647
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 2: get well a flu shot in September, and of've coupled

648
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 2: that with a COVID shot.

649
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: They have not merged those two shots. But is it now?

650
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 2: Is the is the medical theory that once a year,

651
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 2: when the flu season starts to percolate in the late

652
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 2: summer early fall, you get a flu shot in a

653
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 2: COVID shot and that does it for the year. What

654
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 2: is the what's the medical consensus at this point, particularly

655
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,439
Speaker 2: for folks who are you know over as I say,

656
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:07,760
Speaker 2: on the wrong side of fifty.

657
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 6: You know, there was an attempt to simplify it to

658
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 6: the degree that you're describing flu in COVID shot. By

659
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 6: September October, you're good for the year. Unfortunately, COVID has

660
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 6: not proven to be seasonal in the way that flu is.

661
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 6: We didn't even have a winter wave. We had more

662
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 6: covid in the summer than we did in the winter.

663
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 5: And the.

664
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 6: Durability, the duration of activity of the covid vaccine is

665
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 6: a lot shorter than the flu vaccine. So now the

666
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 6: recommendation is get one once a year if you have

667
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 6: some risk factors. If you want to get one and

668
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 6: you don't have any resk factors, you can get one too,

669
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 6: And then if you're really high risked, it's to get

670
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 6: one twice a year.

671
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 2: So and you're talking about the covid shots, you know,

672
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 2: I always get a flu shot in September because that

673
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 2: pretty much covers you in terms of flu traditional flu

674
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 2: through February March, and I've also gotten I've gotten all

675
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 2: the COVID shots, so I should continue to do that.

676
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 2: And your advice for others are would probably be the same.

677
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,320
Speaker 2: Until the covid thing settles down, it's always going to

678
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,280
Speaker 2: be flu. So many people don't want to do the shots.

679
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 2: That's fine, that's their choice. But for me, I do

680
00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 2: the flu shot, I do the COVID shot. That's not

681
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,919
Speaker 2: a case of overkill in my in my situation, I.

682
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 6: Assume right, No, not at all. And even though you

683
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:40,879
Speaker 6: know we are not really necessarily seeing winter with what

684
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 6: we expect to see is a new version of the

685
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 6: vaccine in the fall and smoldering COVID all year, So

686
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 6: it makes sense to go ahead and get that when

687
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 6: it comes out.

688
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,720
Speaker 2: Doctor, She wrote, Deron, thank you so much. As always,

689
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 2: let's keep in touch and let's stay.

690
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: Ahead of this this time pleasure.

691
00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 2: Thanks so much. All right, goodnight. When we get back,

692
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about the TSA. We have talked

693
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 2: about it, the situation. Hopefully the people are getting the

694
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 2: TSA agents are getting the money in there in their accounts,

695
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 2: their paychecks. But I think we need to reform here,

696
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 2: and I think we need to make sure that the

697
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 2: next type something like this happens. Whoever's causing the problem,

698
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 2: all members of Congress their pay should be frozen until

699
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 2: everyone it's back and the government is reopened.

700
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 1: Whatever it is. I'll explain on the other side of

701
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:30,320
