Speaker 3: amazing story in the Herald today. I want all of

00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 3: you to guess how many how many needles have been

Speaker 3: distributed free of charge to people who I guess either

35
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 3: they ask for new needles or trade in old needles

36
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 3: to get new needles here in Boston, Massachusetts since two

37
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 3: and twenty one. The numbers four and a half million,

38
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 3: which is a stunning number to me. We will talk

39

Speaker 3: about it tonight, beginning at nine o'clock, and then we'll

Speaker 3: attention that Thanksgiving, along with Christmas, the only day when

43
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: liquor stores in Massachusetts are closed. So if you want

44
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 3: to get your wine, you want to get whatever you

45
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 3: like for Thursday, don't plan on taking a strip a

46
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 3: trip to your local package store because they will all

47
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 3: be closed. You'll have to go to New Hampshire assume.

48
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 3: But I don't even know if they're open. But let

49
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 3: us get to our special guest this hour. We're going

50
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 3: to start off with Laura Brown. She's an author and

51
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 3: founder of careercoffee break dot com. That sounds like a

52
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 3: very interesting website, a company that helps clients make more

53
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 3: money and work by negotiating starting salaries and raises. Laura,

54
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 3: that that's a great deal. Here. Are you open for clients?

55
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 6: Yes, yes, I am, and I love to talk to

56
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 6: people because I want to to make more money.

57
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 3: So so in my law practice many years ago, I

58
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 3: represented NHL players in contract negotiations, so I know a

59
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 3: little bit about the game, if you will, the game

60
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 3: of hockey, but also the game of negotiation. So what

61
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 3: do folks do if someone calls you and says, gee,

62
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 3: I'm doing X and I'm making this sort of money

63
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 3: and I think I'm underpaid. Do you coach them? Or

64
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 3: do you actually become their agent as it were a negotation?

65
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 6: Oh no, I'm not. I am not an agent. No,

66
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 6: I normally do coaching. But actually what most people do

67
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 6: is they take a class first, So I actually have

68
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 6: a class on how to ask for a raise and

69
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 6: another class on how to negotiate a higher starting sally

70
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 6: at a new job.

71
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 3: Because does not include walking in with a mask and

72
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 3: some sort of weapon, right, I mean, you basically do

73
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 3: it the right way. Okay, so give us a couple

74
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 3: of is. I'm sure there are people listening to the

75
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 3: show tonight who feel they are underpaid based upon maybe

76
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 3: what they think their colleagues are making, or maybe they

77
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 3: feel they're underpaid based upon the type of job and

78
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 3: the industry that they're in. To most people, Yeah, do

79
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: most people think they're underpaid? Have there been any studies

80
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 3: that you know everybody? I assume everybody thinks they're underpaid.

81
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 6: Well, you know what, I haven't seen any studies. That's

82
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 6: really interesting, But most people I talked to do feel

83
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 6: that they could make more money or they want to

84
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 6: make more money. But it's really funny because a lot

85
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 6: of people. Here's my big tip, you actually have to

86
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 6: ask for more money. And that seems so obvious, but

87
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 6: I remember talking to somebody and she said, well, it

88
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 6: won't work for me because I already asked my boss

89
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 6: for a raise. And I said well, tell me what

90
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 6: you said. And she said, well, I went to my

91
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 6: boss and I said it would be nice to make

92
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 6: more money, and he just laughed and said, yes it would,

93
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 6: And so I told her very kindly. She didn't ask

94
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 6: for a raise. Instead, she sort of made a joke

95
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 6: or she hoped or she hinted, which is what a

96
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 6: lot of people do. So instead, what you need to

97
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 6: do is first find out what is your company policy

98
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 6: when do they give raises, like do they give raises

99
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 6: in January or or mid year? And then there are

100
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 6: certain things you need to do to start preparing so

101
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 6: when you get raises, then you will get the best

102
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 6: rise possible.

103
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 3: So how do you sell yourself? Most people, even sales

104
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 3: well maybe not salespeople. I'll strike that most people who

105
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 3: are not salespeople know how to sell themselves. But a

106
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 3: lot of people, I think it's kind of I believe

107
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 3: it's sort of a subconscious fear of rejection that they

108
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 3: can walk in and say to the boss, boss, I

109
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 3: feel I'm underpaid and i'd like a raise. And your

110
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 3: vision is the boss is going to sit there and

111
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: laugh at you. What no one wants to be laughed at.

112
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 3: Is that in the backup. Some people's minds, do you think.

113
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 6: Oh, most people's minds. The reason most people I'm finding

114
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 6: that they don't ask if it's fear. And the biggest

115
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 6: one is I'm afraid I'm gonna hear no. And so

116
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 6: what I try to do is I turn it around.

117
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 6: I say no doesn't mean no forever. No means no

118
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 6: for right now. And sometimes hearing a no gets you

119
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 6: on the path to a yes. I gotta tell you,

120
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 6: the first time I asked for a raise, my boss

121
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 6: immediately shut me down and said no, And I mean.

122
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 4: I was ready to quit.

123
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 6: I was so embarrassed. And I went in the next

124
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 6: day and I found out that he said, oh, no,

125
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 6: you're you're doing a fine job. It's just not raise time.

126
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 6: So this is early in my career, and that's when

127
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 6: I found out my company had raise time. And so

128
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 6: now what I do is I tell people find out

129
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 6: raise time, and then start preparing three or four months

130
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 6: in advance, because this is when they start dividing up

131
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 6: the raise money. And so what you need to do

132
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 6: is start sending an email to your boss every week

133
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 6: or every two weeks talking about the key things that

134
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 6: you're doing so they can remember when it's raised time.

135
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 6: But more importantly, so they can give this information to

136
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 6: their boss and to human resources, because those are the

137
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 6: people that are going to approve it. And you have

138
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 6: to just not say, you know, I this week, I

139
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 6: you know, scheduled a conference. They don't care about that.

140
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 6: What they want to know is if you make or

141
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 6: save money for the company. So it's got to be

142
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 6: something like this week, I scheduled a conference for the department.

143
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 6: Normally it's three months later. I did it three months

144
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 6: earlier because this will save us twenty to thirty percent

145
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 6: on travel because I did it earlier. And so by

146
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 6: saying that, then your boss, human resources, and their managers

147
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 6: realize that you're bringing value. So it's not about bragging.

148
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 6: It's really about helping people to see when they're busy

149
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 6: and they might not realize what exactly you're doing.

150
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 3: That's great advice because what you're doing is you're putting

151
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 3: in front of them a tangible result which they can quantify.

152
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 6: That's exactly it.

153
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 3: And if it is something of you know, I mean,

154
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: if you're sending one person to Los Angeles for a

155
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 3: conference and you've saved you know, fifty bucks on a plane,

156
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 3: ticket because they had to fly out a little earlier,

157
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 3: a little late, or whatever. That's not a huge say

158
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 3: for the company. But if you're sending ten people to

159
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 3: Los Angeles, you're able to negotiate with the travel agency

160
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 3: maybe a little bit of a reduction across the board

161
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 3: because you're not just sending one person, You're sending ten.

162
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 3: Wow that can that can multiply and run into some

163
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 3: real money. Is there a way in which people who

164
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 3: are listening and are intrigued can get in touch with you?

165
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 3: Do you have a website of your author? Is there

166
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,800

236
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,520

237
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,480

238

239
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:22,400

240
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 5: who is actually the reason for the word ida ed A. L.

241
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 5: D Atwood. He owned that space and he brought he

242
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 5: brought a railroad down to it and he wanted to

243
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 5: open it up so that people could come and enjoy themselves.

244
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 5: And it's been continuing ever since. Actually through through many

245
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 5: through many people, it has it has changed hands, but

246
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 5: one thing has been consistent, and that is the Holiday

247
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 5: Festival of Lights. And we're excited to bring it back

248

Speaker 5: for all of those families that have been coming for years.

251
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 3: Well, I remember bringing my wife and I brought our

252
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 3: two children when they were young, and it was it

253
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 3: was really a magical night. Are you in the same

254
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,599
Speaker 3: location pretty close to Root three?

255
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 5: Well, actually we're a little bit closer to four ninety five,

256
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 5: but you can certainly take Root three to get there.

257
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 5: We're in Carver, Massachusetts. You can get their exit two

258
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 5: off of four. It's about forty five minutes out of

259
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 5: Boston and really simple to get to. You can find

260
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 5: those directions on our website vitaville dot com, or you

261
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 5: can plug in our address which is fine five Pine Street, Carver,

262
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 5: mass Well.

263
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 3: You're the vice president of production at Edaville, and I

264
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 3: looked at the amount of events that the activities. It

265
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 3: is it's like a full night of activity. Obviously, train rides,

266
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 3: photos with Santa. You got these dazzling light displays. I

267
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 3: guess you have an outdoor skating rink so people can

268
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 3: skate under the stars. You have horse drawn carriage rides,

269
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 3: food and treats. It looks to me as if it

270
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 3: is bigger and better than from what I remember thirty

271
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 3: or so years ago.

272
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 5: You know, it's really exciting to be able to expand

273
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 5: it and to reimagine from what it was. Classically it

274
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 5: was just a train ride. And we were thinking about

275
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 5: it and we said, you know what, we want people

276
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 5: to come. We want them to enjoy themselves. We want

277
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 5: them to stay a little bit longer and really enjoy

278
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 5: the holidays in that holiday feel because you know, this

279
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 5: only happens a certain time of year and everybody loves

280
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 5: that feeling, and why not be in it for just

281
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 5: a little bit longer. Stay just a little bit longer

282
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 5: so you can go on that horse and carriage ride.

283
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 5: Then you can go and sit under a heated and

284
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 5: have some food with your family, or have some drinks

285
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 5: with your friends and our all new jingle bar and

286
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 5: just have a really good time.

287
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 3: Well, I know you open up this Sunday the twenty

288
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 3: No excuse me, you open up this Friday, the twenty eighth,

289
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 3: this Friday.

290
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 5: Right, you are correct. We're going in strong right on

291
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 5: Black Friday. We want everybody to cut out here and

292
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 5: have a great time.

293
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: I misread it before, so let me make sure we

294
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 3: get it right. Friday nights. You're going to be open

295
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 3: from four to nine beginning this Friday, the day after Thanksgiving.

296
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 3: On Saturday, you go on Sunday, Well, Saturday you're going

297
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 3: to be two to nine and on Sunday two to

298
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 3: six pm, So enough time to get there. But at

299
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 3: the same time, I got to believe that tickets are

300
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 3: going fast.

301
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 5: They are moving and grooving. So if you want to

302
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 5: get on that train, get on, get onto eataville dot com.

303
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 5: Grab those tickets. But even if you can't get a

304
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 5: train ticket, you can still come and enjoy all of

305
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 5: those other festivities. So we have a couple of different

306
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 5: ticket options for you. For those folks that are just unsure,

307
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 5: they're not sure what they want to do, but they

308
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 5: want to come out and enjoy themselves, see some lights,

309
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 5: maybe hang out with a family, or hang out with

310
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 5: a friend. You can just grab a general admission ticket,

311
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:23,479
Speaker 5: it's twenty six dollars and includes all of those light displays,

312
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 5: the horse and carriage rides, ice skating, ice skate rentals,

313
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,360

316
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,120

383
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,600

00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 4: that we've that we've grown accustomed to in our lives.

389
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 4: But when you're talking about it, you know, when you

390
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 4: also there's there's a lot of difficult situations going on

391
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 4: at the same time, sure, and a lot of people

392
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 4: are struggling, you know, especially in this environment. And so

393
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 4: when you think about you know, you asked me, you know,

394
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 4: you know who help, Like, it's not really about me,

395
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 4: it's all of these people in the front lines. You know,

396
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 4: when you get programs like the Quinsy Action Community Action Program,

397
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 4: you know, SELT Show Stars you know, well Spring, Uh,

398
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 4: they just they're doing Vinny Hart does an amazing job

399
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 4: over there. You know, You've got the Selt Show Why,

400
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 4: which you know helps so many people, the Interfaith Food Pantry.

401
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 4: You know, they're just amazing programs that are out there,

402
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 4: and everybody's out trying to do the right thing, you know,

403
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 4: and it's so important, especially in the time of year.

404
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 4: You know, when we think about, you know, the gratitude

405
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 4: that we can all have and all share with each other,

406
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 4: and we you know, when we get to Thanksgiving, and

407
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 4: obviously when we get to Christmas and in New Year's

408
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 4: and you know, we really take stock and and how

409
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 4: our life has been going. You know, you have to

410
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 4: be able to be out there and support.

411
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. When I when I think about Thanksgiving, it is

412
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 3: my favorite holiday because you can focus not only in

413
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 3: your family. Uh you know, I think of it as football, food, fun,

414
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 3: faith and family five f's or whatever. But when you

415
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 3: look outward a little bit, you realize that there are

416
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 3: people out there who maybe are not as fortunate, either

417
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 3: financially or from the perspective of a family. And I know,

418
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 3: and I'm not going to embarrass you, but I know

419
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 3: that there's groups like Crossroads and the Boys and Girls Clubs,

420
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 3: the Weymouth Food Pantry, as well as groups in Dorchester.

421
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 3: The Wallbergs obviously are a Dorchester family that you know,

422
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 3: have had much success and have much to be thankful for.

423
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 3: And I think you know it sprang had to spring

424
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 3: from your parents, because it's up to parents to inculcate

425
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 3: in their kids that hey, we're all pretty lucky here

426
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 3: and there are a lot of people who are dealing

427
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 3: with issues, whether it's medical issues or financial that most

428
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 3: of us aren't dealing with. We all have the vicissitudes,

429
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 3: the small vicissitudes of life. But you know, if we

430
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 3: can help people at this time of year, And again

431
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 3: I'm not going to embarrass you, but I know a

432
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 3: little bit about how dedicated, how how dedicated you are

433
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 3: to what you talk about, and and it's inspiring. I mean,

434
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 3: you know, I'm not going to embarrass Jack Doherty, but

435
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 3: he is. He's your number one fan. And of course

436
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 3: everybody who goes to the restaurant Alma nov It's an

437
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 3: incredible restaurant in the old Kingham Shipyard. How long have

438
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 3: you been been preparing meals at the restaurant? How many

439
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 3: years now?

440
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 4: Paul Almon. Avery's been upen for fifteen years and Wallburgers

441
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,479
Speaker 4: is growing up on fifteen and it's just you know,

442
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 4: and that's the thing when you talked about our parents,

443
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 4: you know, it was important. You know, we grew up

444
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 4: very humbly, and Wallburgers is kind of that reminder of

445
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 4: that when you go in there, because you see government

446
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 4: cheese on our burgers, and that reminds us, you know,

447
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,439
Speaker 4: where we came from, and we all have that strong,

448
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 4: that strong connection because you know, we're proud of being

449
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 4: where we're from. You know, Dorchester. You know that hardscrabble

450
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 4: kind of reputation that it has. And when you look

451
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 4: at you know, people gave us a hand up, so

452
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 4: we'll spend our life, you know, repaying that. And it's

453
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 4: all of us. We all try in out all different ways.

454
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 4: You know, Mark has is the Youth Foundation and the

455
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 4: things that Donnie goes about quietly and just helps so

456
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 4: many people. And my brother Jim, and we're just very

457
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 4: very fortunate. And you know, and like I said, when

458
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 4: you went to Wallburger's and you see government cheese, a

459
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 4: lot of people don't know, but the people who do,

460
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 4: they smile and they go, yeah, I remember, because you know,

461
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 4: we we you come up, you come up in different ways,

462
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 4: and they're and playing yourself in other people's positions, and

463
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 4: you know, and this is you know, it's very difficult

464
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 4: to some because we we we're not exposed to it,

465
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 4: you know. We we kind of go about our lives

466
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 4: and do the best we can. But there are so

467
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 4: many amazing people that are out there working the frontlines

468
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 4: every single day. And it comes from different reasons. Some

469
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 4: people have personal experience with that. Others just want to

470
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 4: try to reach out and help. And when you look

471
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 4: at these different outreach programs, you know, they make it

472
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 4: possible for people to help. You know, how many people

473
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 4: do you know this thing? You know, I go to

474
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 4: the Pine Street in on Thanksgiving and serve meals, or

475
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 4: on Christmas and serve meals, you know, because it's their opportunity.

476
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 4: But there's so many local places that you that you

477
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 4: can gravitate towards every town, no matter how you know,

478
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 4: well off the town may be, there's going to be

479
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 4: a food pantry. They are going to people who struggle,

480
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 4: you know, and it's just and you never know. I

481
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 4: had heard a story at once a gentleman who had

482
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 4: been you know, working, doing well in his business, and

483
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 4: then he he hurt himself and his business depended on

484
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 4: him physically, and then that spiral of not being able

485
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 4: to work and then you know, not being able to

486
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 4: make money and support his family, and all the things

487
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 4: help and one of the outreach programs that you know,

488
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 4: he would look at, which was well spread and wasn't

489
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 4: sure exactly how people got there, and now he was

490
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 4: depending almost and someone actually brought him into his brought

491
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 4: him and his family into their home and helped him

492
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 4: until he got on his feet again. And that's something

493
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 4: he'd never forgotten. And so you have all of these

494
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 4: different things, and you never know what someone's path is

495
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 4: to where they are, and so being able to help

496
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 4: and being able to support is huge.

497
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. I had a friend about who once uh planted

498
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 3: in my mind the phrase anybody in Boston who would

499
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 3: remember Billy Sutton. He was an aid to John Kennedy

500
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 3: when he was a congressman, and Billy was lived a

501
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 3: long and healthy life and he was a great phrasey

502
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 3: he had planted in my mind, Uh, peacock one day,

503
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 3: feather duster the next. So none of us know when

504
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 3: we might need that help. We're very lucky that the

505
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 3: Wahlberg family grew up in the circumstances that they did,

506
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 3: because all of you have really understood and appreciated not

507
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 3: only where you've gone, but where you've been. And I

508
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 3: just don't behalf of you say thank you, thank you

509
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 3: for all you've done.

510
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know, but I will deflect it again

511
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,719
Speaker 4: because I believe that there is so Look at all

512
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 4: the work that you do. You know, look what the

513
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 4: enlightenment you've brought to so many people, you know, and

514
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 4: you had big shoes to fill coming onto it, and

515
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 4: you've done so well and so amazing, so gracefully.

516
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 3: I appreciate that, and uh, you know, but it pales

517
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 3: in comparison. I have a very good idea of all

518
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 3: that you. You have never forgotten your roots. I grew

519
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 3: up in Georgester, I grew up in Hyde Park and uh,

520
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:57,119
Speaker 3: the kind of similar similar circumstances. Yeah, we were the

521
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 3: good area people. Most people can find readville of me

522
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 3: in Dorchester. Everybody knew what parish you went to. It

523
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 3: was in Dorchester. You're from Saint Marches, Saint Brenda's or something. Anyway,

00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 4: And like I said, in all of these outreach programs,

530
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 4: you know, when when you look at you know, Matt

Speaker 4: Brown and Jake Tebow and all of these other people,

532
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 4: all of these different situations, there's so many ways for

533
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 4: people to help. All we have to do is just

534
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 4: look and ask, and they'll find it, and they'll find

535
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,080

00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 3: of Nightside.

564
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 2: Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's news radio.

565
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 3: Well, the Patriots are ten and two, but it was

566
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 3: a scary Sunday afternoon at Cincinnati with us his Boston

567
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 3: Globe sports reporter and the host of the New Boston

568
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 3: Globe Sports Report, and Volin hey Ben, welcome back to Nightside, How.

569
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: Are you doing great? Not as well as the Patriots

570
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 1: at ten and two, but they're doing well.

571
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 3: They're ten and two. But I was a little worried.

572
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 3: You know. Peter Roselle used to say he wanted a

573
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 3: league where on any given Sunday, any given team could win.

574
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 3: I was cursing Pete Roselle at halftime on Sunday that

575
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 3: that was a tough win. It looked like it should

576
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 3: have been a cakewalk, and it was anything but that

577
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 3: what happened.

578
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, if they could have punched the ball

579
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 7: across the goal line from the one yard it probably would.

580
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: Have been more of a cake walk. They had.

581
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 3: They had I think two separate opportunities to do that

582
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 3: multiple downs.

583
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and.

584
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 3: You know where Where's where? Where are the Philadelphia Eagles

585
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 3: when you need them? Is what I'm gonna.

586
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 7: Say, right, Yeah, No, they the Patriots came through the

587
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 7: tush push as well. They had seven cracks from the

588
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 7: one yard line and couldn't do it.

589
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,719
Speaker 1: And and that to me is a sign of an

590
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: offensive line that was, you know, not winning the trench fight.

591
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 7: And I think it's emblematic, emblematic of where the team

592
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 7: is overall. Right now, where I feel like they're they're

593
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 7: a little running out of gas a little bit, just

594
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 7: because they haven't had their bye week yet. They've played

595
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 7: twelve straight weeks, yes, plus training camp. This teo's tired,

596
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 7: and the injuries are starting to occur now.

597
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 1: But you know that said, they still won the game.

598
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 7: And and to your point before, I mean, there still

599
00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 7: is a facet of any given Sunday. I mean, the

600
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 7: Packers had a bad loss to the Panthers, you know,

601
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 7: the Cardinals, the Eagles absolutely said the Cowboys the other day,

602
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 7: so you know, the Browns, you know, beat the Packers.

603
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: So like every once in a while, a team lays

604
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: an egg and.

605
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 7: When the and when the Patriots have been doing that

606
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 7: this year, they're still winning the game.

607
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: So I still think there's a lot to be said

608
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: for that.

609
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 7: The young team, a new team, expectations, so that they're

610
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 7: they're doing well.

611
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: The injuries, yeah, they're starting to add up now.

612
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 7: There's no way that they were going to continue their

613
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 7: tremendous you know, injury luck. It was bound to happen eventually,

614
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 7: uh to two offensive linemen, the left guard and the

615
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 7: left tackle are going to be out now for a

616
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 7: few weeks. And the defensive tackle Milton Williams is also

617
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 7: out for a few weeks.

618
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: I think it's good news that none of these injuries

619
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: are season ending.

620
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 7: The Patriots should get all these players back by the

621
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 7: last regular season game or for the playoffs, so they're

622
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 7: still fortunate there. And look, every every team deals with

623
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 7: injuries this time of year. As long as it's not

624
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 7: Drake May, as long as he's healthy, the Patriots to me,

625
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 7: are going to have a chance.

626
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he looked a little off on Sunday, particularly

627
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 3: in the first couple of drives. There were balls that

628
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 3: had that took off on him. It was in nasty

629
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 3: weather conditions. Did he talk about that at all. I mean,

630
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 3: he just seemed a little off.

631
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, he did seem a little off. And there's some

632
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 7: thought that there was one throw where he hit his hand,

633
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 7: and there was some question about whether he was a

634
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 7: little injured. If he is, the Patriots aren't saying.

635
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: You know, I just think he's been like this this year.

636
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 7: He's had some slow starts to some games where it

637
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 7: takes him until the second.

638
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: Quarter to really start to find his groove. And I

639
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: just think his footwork.

640
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 7: Was off, and the Bengals defense was probably thrown some

641
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,719
Speaker 7: things at him that he hadn't been expecting.

642
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: And you know, he was just like as you said,

643
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: he was just off. He was not in sync. He

644
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: was he was sailing a few throws. But they got

645
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: him back on track. And Hunter Henry the tight end,

646
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: played a big part in that great game.

647
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,319
Speaker 7: And in the second quarter when when Drake needed to

648
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,720
Speaker 7: get going, they threw the ball.

649
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:12,360
Speaker 1: To Hunter Henry.

650
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,240
Speaker 7: So I think that's a good sign in this Patriots

651
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 7: offense that they have a lot of variety. One week

652
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 7: it's Stephan Diggs, one week it's Trevon Henderson, one week

653
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 7: it's Hunter Henry.

654
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: Drake May is doing a good job of getting everyone involved.

655
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 3: Okay, so very quick on the Giants. You know, they

656
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,720
Speaker 3: got their warning in Cincinnati. But I'm worried about the Giants.

657
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 3: The Giants played pretty well against the Lions last weekend.

658
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 3: Are they starting to get their act together?

659
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: Yes?

660
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 3: And no.

661
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: I mean the Giants are pesky and they're desperate and

662
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 1: they're just looking for a win at this point.

663
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 7: So they're gonna probably throw the kitchen sink at you.

664
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 1: You know, we saw that from them the other day

665
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 1: against the Lions.

666
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 7: When the Giants had the wide receiver throw a touchdown

667
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 7: pass to quarterback James Winston.

668
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 1: On a trick play.

669
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 7: So you just got to be ready for for everything

670
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 7: from this Giants team. I mean, their defense is atrocious.

671
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 7: It's one of the worst in the league. They've lost

672
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,479
Speaker 7: five games this year where they held a double digit

673
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 7: lead at some point in the game. So, yeah, the

674
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 7: Giants are Patsky and all that, but they're.

675
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: A terrible team and they you know, they've they've been

676
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: hit hard by the injury bug.

677
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 7: So the Patriots again, they really should.

678
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: Take care of business. It does feel like they're right

679
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 1: to lose a game that they were supposed to win,

680
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: because you know.

681
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 7: It happens to every team, and they keep squeaking by

682
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:30,919
Speaker 7: so far.

683
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: But I still would expect them to get the job

684
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: done against the Giants.

685
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 3: And how's how's the New Globe Sports Report going? You

686
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 3: join that?

687
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: Thank you? The show has been tremendous. It airs Monday

688
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 1: five point thirty on Nesting and then it.

689
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 7: Lives on the Boston Globe website. It lives on YouTube.

690
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:52,359
Speaker 7: We pump out some videos on social.

691
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: Media, and it's been a lot of fun.

692
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 7: We've had a different sports writer every week. Dan Shaughnessy,

693
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 7: Chad Finn, Matt Porter, and Nicole Yang.

694
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: We you know, we're breaking down a lot.

695
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 7: Of Patriots talk, but also Bruins, Celtics social media world.

696
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 7: So the show has been tremendous. I compare it to

697
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 7: it's kind of like PTI, but just for Boston, you know,

698
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 7: sports writers just kind of yapping it up.

699
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 3: Pardon.

700
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: It's been a lot of fun so far.

701
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 3: All right, Ben, thanks very much. I was going to

702
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 3: ask you something about the new Red Sox pitcher from

703
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 3: the Cardinals, Sunny Gray. Little surprised on this one for me.

704
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 3: I know he had one threw one hundred and eighty

705
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,839
Speaker 3: innings last year, but a little long in the tooth there.

706
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 3: I hope they've made a good decision with him. Well,

707
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 3: maybe we'll talk about that sometime in the not too

708
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 3: distant future.

709
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: There you go, next time.

710
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 3: That's great, Thanks, Ben Benglow. Ben Valla in the Boston

711
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,280
Speaker 3: Globe Sports Reporter also host of Boston Globe Sports Report.

712
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 3: We are coming back and we're going to talk about

713
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 3: a story in the Herald today about it incredible numbers,

714
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 3: four and a half million hypodermic needles given out to

715
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 3: people in the last four years in Boston. That does

716
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 3: put the drug problem in some respective back on night

717
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 3: side after this
