We do all sorts 37 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 2: of stories here every night on Nightside where things are 38 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 2: expensive in Massachusetts. Nobody can get an apartment in Boston 39 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 2: and account buy houses. We're talking about the same Massachusetts here. Kelly, 40 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 2: welcome to nightside. 41 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 3: How are you say, I'm well, thank you, thank you 42 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 3: for having me. And yes, we are talking about the 43 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 3: same Massachusetts here. Even though Massachusetts does rank number one 44 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 3: in regards to cost of living for affordability of housing, 45 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 3: it is also rated number one in regards to you know, 46 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 3: healthcare And this was taken from the Census Bureau for 47 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 3: the percentage of uninsured children under the age of nineteen 48 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 3: and pediatrician employment, which is, you know, one of the 49 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 3: highest in the country, as well as education where they 50 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 3: took the average grade four to grade eight math and 51 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 3: reading statistics and scores, and they're the highest in the 52 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 3: nation as well. 53 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 2: And hold on for a second of that one, Kel. 54 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 2: I don't know what you're relying on there, but right 55 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 2: now we've had big problems since COVID. The reading and 56 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 2: math scores of fourth graders, eighth graders, and tenth graders 57 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 2: have all gone down here in Massachusetts. 58 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're still higher. I'm still higher than anywhere else. 59 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 2: Okay, so we may not be getting smarter, but no 60 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: one else is either. Also, it's not easy to find 61 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 2: a doctor of any type in Massachusetts. And again I'm 62 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 2: not here to knock Massachusetts. I just was sort of surprised. 63 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 2: Our weather's tough in the winter time. I don't know 64 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 2: if you have spent any time in Massachusetts or not, 65 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 2: but from late November through the end of March, you 66 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 2: can have a snowstorm just about any day. Of our 67 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 2: sports teams have have not been doing greatly likely, I 68 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 2: don't know. I guess you you bullish on Massachusetts. There's uh, 69 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 2: there's there's Look, we have a lot of hospitals, we 70 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 2: have some fine academic institutions. I just think it's insue. 71 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 2: What was the worst state to to start a family? 72 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 2: From your analysis? 73 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 4: Oh? 74 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 3: Let me look that up. You know that mostly it's 75 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 3: all it's it's the worst states are on the West 76 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 3: coast some Midwest? 77 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 2: Is that is that because of the time difference? Holy kidding, Holy. 78 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. 79 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 3: So basically, yeah, with the West coast not being as 80 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 3: good due to also affordability for cost of living. 81 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 2: So which which of those three West coast states? Washington, Oregon? See, 82 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 2: I know my geography of California, our number fifty, who 83 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 2: had who it's the big five? 84 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 3: Oh, California, Which is funny because that's where I'm calling from. 85 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 3: That's where you're calling me from. 86 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 2: You know, no, No, I'm in Massachusetts. No, Kelly, I'm 87 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: in Massachusetts. Okay, well, let's not get confused here. I 88 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 2: know where I am. You know where you are. I've 89 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 2: been theoretically the best, you ever the worst. So what generally, 90 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 2: when when folks do a study of any story, any sort, uh, 91 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 2: and then they're on the radio with me, they have 92 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 2: a reason for having done that study. Uh. And oftentimes 93 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 2: it's related to what the group that does the study for, 94 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 2: what they were involved with, what was the purpose of 95 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 2: the study. 96 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 3: Basically, I work for a surrogacy agency, and and you 97 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 3: know a lot of people are delaying, you know, having children, 98 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,600 Speaker 3: and and you know they're having them older by. 99 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 2: The way, in Massachusetts, because you can't afford it, because 100 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 2: there's a lot of people here who feel they are 101 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,679 Speaker 2: underpaid and underappreciated. But go ahead. 102 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, So basically, families are delaying having children, so you know, 103 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 3: when they they wait until they can afford to have children. 104 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 3: But unfortunately, sometimes when you can afford to have children, 105 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 3: you're faced with fertility issues. 106 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 2: Yeah right, No, I'm very very familiar with that. And 107 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 2: I see that the name of your company is Ivy Surrogacy. 108 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 2: And again this is a dilemma that a lot of 109 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,279 Speaker 2: people do face. And I think probably everyone in this 110 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 2: audience knows some family that has gone through some of 111 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:02,799 Speaker 2: these these difficulties. And I can I can understand, uh, 112 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 2: the the phrase ivy surrogacy. I'm just wondering. We have 113 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 2: more than a few IVY League colleges here in New England, 114 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 2: as I'm sure you know, Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth, Brown is ivy. 115 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 2: What is the the name ivy surrogacy supposed to imply? 116 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 3: If anything, Ivy is a beautiful plant that likes to populate. 117 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 2: Okay, and and it is it is. It's a it's 118 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,239 Speaker 2: a great vine on the outfield wall at Wrigley Field 119 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 2: as well as I'm. 120 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 5: Sure you know, I did not know that if you. 121 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,679 Speaker 2: Watch a Cubs game, most Cubs games, some ball gets 122 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 2: lost in the wall. It's an automatic round rule double 123 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 2: of Wrigley Field. See. I thought it might have been 124 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 2: an allusion to IVY League colleges or or whatever or whatever. 125 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 2: So I just, you know, it was was curious. How 126 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,679 Speaker 2: long has you a company been in business been helping 127 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 2: I should say not in business helping people achieve their 128 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 2: dream of having a child. 129 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 3: We've been around since June of twenty nineteen. 130 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 2: So yeah, so you were if you arrived in June 131 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 2: or twenty you began in June and twenty nineteen. Shortly 132 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 2: thereafter we had obviously COVID strike the country and devastated 133 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 2: this country for about a year. So that's a tough 134 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 2: time to have started a business. But you've survived, and 135 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 2: I hope you're doing well. 136 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 3: We're doing amazing and we have had thirty seven berths 137 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,319 Speaker 3: this year so far. Last year we helped with fifty 138 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 3: deliveries and fifty three children. 139 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 2: Fifty three children, so you had a couple of twins 140 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 2: in there. I guess maybe a. 141 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 3: Couple of sets of twins. 142 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 2: Yes, we had. And not only am I good in geography, 143 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 2: but I'm really good in math.

I talk with lots 185 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 2: of people, but this one is. You have a doctorate 186 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 2: in neuroscience from John Hopkins University. You have a medical 187 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,319 Speaker 2: degree from Harvard Medical School in nineteen ninety seven. You 188 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 2: currently serve as an adjunct professor at the Mind Brain 189 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 2: Institute at John Hopkins University. You also teach at George 190 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 2: Washington University in Harvard Medical School. The book is called 191 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,959 Speaker 2: The Invincible Brain, The clinically Proven Plan to age proof 192 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 2: your Brain and stay sharp for life. Obviously, this is 193 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 2: not one you wrote over the weekend. How long did 194 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 2: it take you to do this book? To create this book? 195 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, this book represents my life's work. It represents thirty 196 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 4: years of comical research and teaching, but it took me 197 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 4: one year to write it. 198 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 2: Well, you know, you have to sort of assemble your thoughts. 199 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 2: That is for sure. Who would benefit from getting this 200 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 2: book and reading it. 201 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 4: This book is intended for middle aged people who worry 202 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 4: about their memory. It's intended for people who forget their keys, 203 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 4: forget the employment, and they think they're not as sharp 204 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 4: as they used to be, and they start worry about 205 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 4: Alpheimer's disease. And I love to tell them, listen, there 206 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 4: are so many reasons for why you think you have 207 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 4: the many problems and why your brain is flowing down, 208 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 4: and Alpheimer's is at the bottom of the list. And 209 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 4: I love to taking care of paces like that because 210 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 4: more than eighty percent of a patients in a twelve 211 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 4: week program that has created for people improve. 212 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 2: So this is a program that people will learn from 213 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 2: reading the book. That's right, Okay. This is not a 214 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 2: program that they have to sit and watch zoom presentations 215 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 2: or they don't have to go to classes. This is 216 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:22,319 Speaker 2: something they could be done on their schedule, however their 217 00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 2: schedule works. 218 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 4: That's correct. 219 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 2: Okay. 220 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 4: See, when people get older, there are many factors that 221 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 4: shrink their brain. Literally, things like stress, insomnia, apnia, this 222 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 4: factor chip away the brain. In fact, their cortex and 223 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 4: e bi campus, which are the parts of the brain 224 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 4: that are important for thinking, shrink by about one percent 225 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 4: per year after it'ge fifty, and that's why people start 226 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 4: feeling like they're not as sharp as they are. That 227 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 4: was the bad news. But the good news is that 228 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 4: you can regrow your brain. And one of the most 229 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:10,359 Speaker 4: important ways you can grow your brain is exercise. Exercise 230 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 4: literally creates new neurons in the memory parts of your brain. 231 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 4: And there are many other things that can increase blood 232 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 4: flow in the brain, and they can reduce inflammation in 233 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 4: the brain, and they can reverse the effects of aging 234 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 4: in the brain. See, I think we live in one 235 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 4: of the most exciting eras in the field of neurology. 236 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 4: For the first time, we are starting to think that 237 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 4: Alzheimer's is not a mysterious disease anymore. It's a soup 238 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 4: of problems that shrink the brain. And the good news 239 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 4: is that we can reverse that shrinkage. The good news 240 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 4: is that we can literally grow the brain and reverse 241 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 4: the effects of aging on the brain. 242 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 2: Well, this is music to my ears because I am, 243 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 2: as we would say, on the wrong side of fifty. 244 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 2: I'm in my fiftieth year as a journalist, thirty one 245 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 2: years in television, and now nineteen years doing this talk show. 246 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 2: But I'm in the gym five to six days a week, 247 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 2: and it is music to my ears that I'm doing 248 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 2: something inadvertently which maybe is allowing my brain to, if 249 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 2: not shrink, maybe even grow a little bit. I gotta 250 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 2: buy the book. Now. Let me tell you how the 251 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 2: twelve week course. How much of it is it involves 252 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 2: reading and studying, and how much does it involve different 253 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 2: sorts of activity, whether it's walking or working out in 254 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 2: a gym or in some form of exercise. 255 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 4: Yes, different people have different reasons for why to experience 256 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 4: shrinkaging the brain. For some people, maybe insomnia or sipapna 257 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 4: for other people, maybe too much stress for other people, 258 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 4: maybe poor diet. For other people, maybe the fact that 259 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 4: they don't have a challenged job. And so the book 260 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 4: helps you identify the reasons for why you have cognitive decline. 261 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 4: And again, the combination of reasons for each person is 262 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 4: unique to them. But once you know that three or 263 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 4: four reasons that apply to you, then you can take 264 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 4: steps to improve your brain functions. I have what I 265 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 4: call five pillars of brain health, diet, exercise, sleep, stress reduction, 266 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 4: and brain training. But not everybody needs to work on 267 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 4: all five pillars of brain health at the same time. 268 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 4: People usually need to work on two or three pillars 269 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 4: of playing health, and once they work on it, they 270 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 4: can see results within weeks. I often show people how 271 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 4: to memorize a list of twenty words, which is a 272 00:16:55,160 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 4: lot easier than you think, and it is they learn 273 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 4: to do it, they can do it five times and 274 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 4: they memorize one hundred worths for in the oat words, 275 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 4: and that gives them excitement and energy and enthusiasm because 276 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 4: they realize that aging doesn't have to be downhill. You know, 277 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 4: you can get better with aging. It can be a 278 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,879 Speaker 4: little sharper at age of sixty eight versus sixty seven. 279 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 2: So let me ask you a question if I could. Obviously, 280 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 2: people I hope are going to get the book, and 281 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 2: I'm going to get this book because it's it's important 282 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 2: to everyone of a certain age. You see a lot 283 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 2: of ads on TV now dealing with this issue, and 284 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 2: there are different products that are sold basically pills previagen, 285 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 2: and there are some other products like that as somebody 286 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 2: obviously who was a neuroscientist. Are those pills placebos or 287 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 2: do those pills actually have some benefit to people who 288 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 2: take those pills. 289 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 4: There's no scientific evidence that provigen has any benefits for 290 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 4: the brain whatsoever. There's no scientific publication a placebo control 291 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 4: study that has shown privilege in works. None. Zero. 292 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,479 Speaker 2: And by the way, I only mentioned privileging because that's 293 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 2: the one that came to mind. I think there's another 294 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 2: like nariva and there's a there's there's a there's a shell. 295 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think. I think in general it's best to 296 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 4: focus on healthy things like diet, exercise, and healthy the pattern. 297 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 4: These supplements help a little bit. My favorite supplement is 298 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 4: omo got tore fatty acids. I actually do the research 299 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 4: study myself and established that people would take Omograti fatty 300 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 4: acids are less like they get alphomine disease. And that's 301 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 4: the only supplement I take, So I don't recommend anything 302 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 4: other than Omagrati fatty acids d H A and e 303 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 4: p a is are called Omega three fatty acids, and 304 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,680 Speaker 4: that those are one thousand in the brand per day 305 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 4: is what I take. 306 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 2: So omega three fatty acids correct, Okay, fatty acids one 307 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 2: thousand milligrams per day. Look, this has been very helpful. 308 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 2: Where I assume that your book is available in a 309 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 2: lot of places, including Amazon and bookstores. Do you have 310 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 2: a website where people can can get your book? 311 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 4: Yes, I have a web site Doctor for two he 312 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 4: dot com, d r f O t U H high 313 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 4: dot com.

We'll be back on Nightside right after this. 343 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: It's Nightside with Dan Ray, Boston's news Radio. 344 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 2: All right, I may have misidentified my next guest. During 345 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 2: the break, We're going to be speaking with Kyle Young. 346 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 2: Kyle on on my page, It's say, Kyle Austin. I 347 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 2: have no idea where that came from. 348 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 6: Well, I'm Kyle Austin Young, No big deal. 349 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 2: Oh was that your middle name? You mean? Is that 350 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 2: Kyle Austin Young. Okay, great, great, okay it is. 351 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 6: I'll tell you a quick story about that. When I 352 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 6: was in the process of trying to get this publishing deal, 353 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 6: there was some people struggling to find me online because 354 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 6: there's a lot of people named Kyle Young, a basketball player, 355 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 6: the director of the Country Music Hall of Fame, and 356 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 6: so now there's two people who call me Kyle Austin Young, 357 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 6: my grandmother and my publisher. 358 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 2: Well that's okay. Now we'll call you Kyle Austin Young too. 359 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 2: But you're an award winning strategy consultant, business writer, and author. 360 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 2: Writ it for the Harvard Business View, View, The Boston Globe, CNBC, 361 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 2: Psychology Today, Forbes, and Business Insider. Success is a numbers 362 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 2: game achieved bigger goals by changing the odds. I haven't 363 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 2: read your book. I may at some point, But why 364 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 2: don't you explain the theory, the underlying theory, because I 365 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 2: have a theory about success that i'd love to share 366 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 2: with you. Go ahead, let me hear your thoughts on 367 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 2: the idea of success as a numbers game. 368 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 6: Well, I'm excited to hear yours, but I'll start with mine. 369 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 6: I believe that every goal that you're pursuing has two 370 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 6: hidden numbers attached to it, a probability of success and 371 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 6: a probability of failure. But most people never stop to 372 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 6: even consider that because they assume that their odds are 373 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 6: unknowable and unchangeable. And my goal is to teach people 374 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 6: a very simple understanding of probability that they can use 375 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 6: to more reliably accomplish their goals. I help people get 376 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 6: a sense of how likely they are to accomplish a 377 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 6: goal in their life, whether that's getting a promotion or 378 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 6: running a marathon, or trying to get a book published, 379 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,239 Speaker 6: trying to start a new business, and ultimately I take 380 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 6: people through a framework for improving those odds. If you 381 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 6: do that in the context of a single goal, it 382 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 6: can change your outcome over the course of several goals. 383 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 6: It can change your life. 384 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 2: I suspect that your theory is not inconsistent with mine, 385 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 2: but I have a theory that I firmly believe in, 386 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 2: and that is that in order to be successful, you 387 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 2: have to have two elements. This is a little different 388 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 2: than yours. One is the ability to do but you 389 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,159 Speaker 2: hope to do, and also the opportunity to show someone 390 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 2: you can do that ability and opportunity, meaning you can 391 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 2: have all the ability in the world if you're never discovered, 392 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 2: if you're a great singer or an actor, actress, or 393 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 2: a baseball player or a football player. If you have 394 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:40,959 Speaker 2: never discovered, you don't realize your dream. If you can 395 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 2: have every opportunity, but if you don't have either, just 396 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 2: the ability that God given ability, you'll have opportunities, but 397 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 2: without the ability, you won't achieve those dreams. It's a 398 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 2: little bit of a different analysis than yours, but one 399 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 2: that through my life I've found to be very true. 400 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 6: I think ability and opportunity are both important. I encourage 401 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,199 Speaker 6: people to look at what has to go right in 402 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 6: order for them to get the outcome they want. I 403 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 6: teach people how to create something called a success diagram, 404 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 6: where they list out every step that might go into 405 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 6: that process if you're open to it all. Give you 406 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 6: a quick example, yes, sir, So, let's say that you're 407 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 6: training to run a marathon, right, big marathon in Boston. 408 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 6: I was lucky enough onces to fly on a flight 409 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 6: and just ran. We sat next to the former director 410 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 6: of the Boston Marathon. So you're planning to run a marathon. 411 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 6: You've got ninety days to get ready. That's not a 412 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 6: lot of time. So you hire a running coach and 413 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 6: she says she can get you there, but you have 414 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,440 Speaker 6: to do three things. You have to train the way 415 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 6: she says, eat the way she says, and sleep the 416 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,199 Speaker 6: way she says. All right, there's three things that have 417 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 6: to go right in order for you to accomplish this goal, 418 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,639 Speaker 6: according to your running coach. Now, when most people are 419 00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 6: thinking about accomplishing a goal, they do put some thought 420 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 6: into what it's going to take, and they do try 421 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 6: to do a little gut check when it comes to 422 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 6: how likely they are to actually be able to do 423 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 6: what's going to be required. So in this case, let's 424 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 6: take some really simple round numbers. Let's say that we 425 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,200 Speaker 6: feel pretty good about each of these things. I think 426 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,360 Speaker 6: there's a seventy percent chance will follow the nuttrition plan, 427 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 6: a seventy percent chance will follow the sleep schedule, and 428 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 6: a seventy percent chance will follow the training schedule. Now, 429 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 6: most people in this situation fall into a trap called averaging. 430 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 6: They look at what has to go right, and if 431 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 6: they feel good about the individual prerequisites, they assume that 432 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 6: they have a good chance of ultimately accomplishing their goal. 433 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 6: That's not true in reality. To find our actual odds 434 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,640 Speaker 6: of success, we have to multiply those numbers together exactly. 435 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,679 Speaker 2: So it's about twenty eight percent. I did it in 436 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 2: my head. 437 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 6: Actually thirty four but very close to twenty eight. Now, 438 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,360 Speaker 6: you're absolutely right, thirty four percent. This is a goal 439 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 6: where we expect the person to fail, but most people 440 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 6: don't realize that this is a predicted failure. And a 441 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 6: lot of people are pursuing goals in their life and 442 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 6: because they feel good about the individual requirements, they feel 443 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 6: good about their overall outlook. If something is a true 444 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 6: prerequisite to success and you need everything to go right, 445 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 6: and when we understand that, it changes the way we think. 446 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, I was thinking seventy percent of seventy 447 00:25:54,200 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 2: percent is forty nine percent, about thirty four percent, I 448 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 2: was My math was a little off. The other thing, 449 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 2: very quick. If you're talking about something like a marathon, 450 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:10,439 Speaker 2: which does involve you know, some physical development, something that 451 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 2: is it's tangible. There could be something you can do 452 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 2: it for ninety days and on the eighty fifth day 453 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 2: you could pull a quad or a hamstring or snap 454 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 2: your ankle. 455 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 6: That's exactly right. 456 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 2: That makes the odds even worse because well. 457 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 6: That's exactly right. And that's the foundation of my approach 458 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 6: is for everything that has to go right, there are 459 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 6: some potential bad outcomes. There are things that could happen 460 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,480 Speaker 6: instead of the outcome we want. So when it comes 461 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 6: to our need to train consistently for ninety days according 462 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:39,479 Speaker 6: to this regimen, what are some things that could happen? Well, 463 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 6: it might be raining on a day when we need 464 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 6: to train. We might suffer an injury, just like you suggested. 465 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 6: It might be that over time our motivation wanes. What 466 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 6: I help people do is try to identify the potential 467 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 6: bad outcomes. And the reason for that is I believe 468 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 6: that probability can be understood in the same way we 469 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 6: traditionally understood matter. We've all heard the phrase that matter 470 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 6: can't be created or destroyed. It can just be transferred 471 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 6: or re array changed, And the same thing is true 472 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 6: when it comes to your odds of success. You can't 473 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 6: do something to magically improve your odds of success. The 474 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,640 Speaker 6: odds that you're looking for are hiding and your potential 475 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 6: bad outcome. Why are potential bad outcomes? 476 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 2: Excuse me? 477 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 6: Why is it a seventy percent chances out of one hundred. Well, 478 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 6: there's a chance that you're going to get injured, there's 479 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,159 Speaker 6: a chance that you're going to lose motivation. There's a 480 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 6: chance that it's going to be raining, or that you're 481 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 6: going to get too busy. When we identified the potential 482 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 6: bad outcomes that could stand in our way, we have 483 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 6: an opportunity to use our creativity to come up with 484 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 6: solutions for those things. We have an opportunity to do 485 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,440 Speaker 6: things like join a gym for days when it's raining, 486 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 6: find a running partner to help keep our motivation high, 487 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 6: maybe do some stretches to try to prevent injury. We're 488 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 6: never going to get to a place where we have 489 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 6: one hundred percent chance of success, so we can't optimize 490 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 6: our eyes. 491 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 2: It could rain day. Some training days with rain actually 492 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 2: going to help the the potential marathon because it may 493 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,919 Speaker 2: turn out the day of the marathon it might be raining. 494 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 2: So it's good to have practiced a little bit under 495 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 2: the rain, different sort of footing underneath you. As you're 496 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 2: running the roads on of dry day or a rainy day, 497 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 2: you think, like me, Kyle, that's pretty interesting. Thank you 498 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 2: so much, Kyle, Austin Young.

The story of a 540 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:20,479 Speaker 2: criminal genius, a stolen masterpiece, and an enigmatic friendship. And 541 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 2: we're talking about here this book is about someone who 542 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 2: has He's a living legend, Miles Corner, a thief, a criminal, 543 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 2: someone who has always been sort of on the other 544 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,720 Speaker 2: side of the street from you as a security person 545 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 2: at a museum. And yet you have a friendship with 546 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 2: this guy. And I haven't read the book, but I 547 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 2: think that down deep you you kind of admire some 548 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 2: things about him. 549 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 5: You know, you nailed it, Dan. I met Miles ten 550 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,440 Speaker 5: years ago. I had put off meeting him for a 551 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 5: long time and knew that he's the best art beief 552 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 5: whoever lived. But I also knew he was not involved 553 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 5: in the Garden Museum heights. Nevertheless, I thought, you know, 554 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 5: if i'm if I'm trying to stop art thieves and 555 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 5: I'm trying to identify them, it's important that I speak 556 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 5: to the best one ever. And he and I met 557 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 5: and it was sort of like kismet. We just hit 558 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,479 Speaker 5: it off from the first moment I was and I 559 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 5: was frankly, I was with him tonight and he's we 560 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 5: just have this friendship and mutual admiration, I guess is 561 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 5: the best way to say it. 562 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 2: He's sort of the Babe Ruth of art thieves. 563 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,080 Speaker 5: You know, I've said that, and it's like, you know, 564 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 5: if you want to be a really good hitter and 565 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 5: Ted Williams wants to help you, or if you're a 566 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 5: pitcher and you want to know how to strike out 567 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 5: the best hitter, you talk to Babe Ruth or Ted 568 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 5: Williams and absolute, how do you not? 569 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 4: You know? 570 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 2: So tell us this. In this particular book, he gets 571 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:04,840 Speaker 2: himself in trouble dealing things and somehow, some way the 572 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 2: idea is planted in his mind. I don't want to 573 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 2: give the book away that the only way that he 574 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 2: might get out of trouble is to steal a rembrand. 575 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,960 Speaker 2: Some would have taken that as a challenge. Miles Corner 576 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 2: took it as a brilliant idea. 577 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 5: He's the wrong guy to tell that to, you know. 578 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 5: He a state police detective. The head of detective said 579 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 5: that to him, and he obviously wasn't saying it as 580 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 5: an instruction. He mentioned as hyperbole. But Miles is is 581 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 5: not the guy you say that to. And he it 582 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 5: sparked an idea in his head, and he went to 583 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 5: the MFA and did so. 584 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 2: And he probably took it, I assume, not only as 585 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 2: a challenge but also as his key to freedom temper temporary. 586 00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 5: As it was exactly. But you know, ultimately, hopefully your readers, 587 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 5: your listeners will buy the book and they'll see he 588 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 5: was facing more than twelve years in federal prison, and 589 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 5: in the end, because of his scheme, he wound up 590 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:17,040 Speaker 5: serving just over two. But one of the most amazing 591 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 5: things about the book is that his best friend, a 592 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 5: guy named Al Dotteley, who was a straight shooter, you know, 593 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 5: he walked the straight line and it was very, very 594 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 5: successful in the music business, orchestrated the return of this 595 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 5: Rembrandt in a really incredible scheme. And that's the second 596 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,720 Speaker 5: half of the book that's captivating. 597 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 2: Well, I don't know as much about Miles Connor. He 598 00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 2: was I think on the scene or in jail when 599 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 2: I started working some of these cases, the Salvati Lamoni case, 600 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 2: and I really heard a lot about Miles Connors. 601 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 5: He's still alive, right, he is he I had a 602 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:00,440 Speaker 5: book talk this Hey, well. 603 00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 2: You mentioned that you did it with Talk with him, 604 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 2: Talk with him tonight. How is he doing physically at 605 00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 2: this point? Obviously he has aged. He's probably not as 606 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 2: great shape as he was was. 607 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 5: You know, he's eighty two, He's he walks with a 608 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:19,360 Speaker 5: really fancy walking stick. But this is a guy I 609 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 5: can tell you he's total two cars in the last 610 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 5: five years and never gets a scratch. This is he's 611 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:30,719 Speaker 5: sort of invincible. It's a really he's just an incredibly 612 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 5: unique character. 613 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,799 Speaker 2: He was a musician, a rocker.
