Anyway, we have a four interesting guests coming 18 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 2: up in this hour, and we will be talking about 19 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 2: an emporium of interpretive dance Yes, otherwise known as a 20 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 2: strip joint, which is attempting to change its location in 21 00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 2: downtown Boston. In what was colloquially known here in Boston 22 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 2: as the combat zone back in the day, and it 23 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 2: is certainly no longer its day in Boston, that is 24 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 2: for sure. There are I think there were a forty 25 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 2: four emporia of interpretive dance in the so called combat zone. 26 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 2: There's a couple left and one wants to move, and 27 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 2: a lot of people who live in that part of town, 28 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 2: it's a neighborhood, even though it's in a downtown area, 29 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,919 Speaker 2: very upset about it. We'll we talked about Boston City Council. 30 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 2: Ed Flynna represents that community, represents the people in that community, 31 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 2: and they've kind of had it with the combat zone 32 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 2: and also the remnants of the combat zone. We'll talk 33 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 2: about that with Ed Flynn and then a little bit 34 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 2: later on time, I'm going to talk about a pretty 35 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 2: fiery interview, really interesting interview last night between the President, 36 00:01:55,440 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 2: President Trump and CBS is now I guess demoted or 37 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 2: retired Nightly CBS Evening News anchor Norah O'Donnell. She was 38 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 2: pretty feisty, as was the President. So we'll get to 39 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,440 Speaker 2: all of that. We'll certainly keep you up to dat 40 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 2: on what's going on with politics. Elections Day elections tomorrow 41 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: city council races here in Boston, as well as two 42 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 2: gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey, and as well 43 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 2: as the mayor's race in New York City. So we'll 44 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 2: see what happens. But we have four interesting guests. And 45 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: this is November, and November is going to be known 46 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 2: this year not only for Thanksgiving as it always is, 47 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 2: but this year it's going to be known for a 48 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 2: November super moon. With us as Jim Zabrowski, he's the 49 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 2: president of the Aldrich Astronomical Society. He's always looking skyward. 50 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 2: He's going to tell us how to look skyward later 51 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 2: this week and see the moon. It's going to look 52 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 2: a little bigger. Let's put it like that. Jim Zabrowski, 53 00:02:59,120 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 2: Welcome back tonight. 54 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 3: How are you, sir, Well, Thank you very much, Seah 55 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 3: glad to be back. 56 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 2: I'm excited about this. I know we talked about some 57 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 2: other astronomical phenomenon a couple of weeks ago right here 58 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 2: on nightside, but tonight we are focusing on the moon. 59 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 2: We were talking about media showers and I made the 60 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 2: mistake of not getting outside to see the media showers, 61 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 2: But I'm going to see the supermoon. When will it 62 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: be in its full glory? It's fullest glory, I should 63 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 2: say this week. 64 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 3: Wednesday looks like the opportunity basically see it. The supermoon 65 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 3: will basically rise right after sunset and you'll be able 66 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 3: to see it close to the horizon. They get a 67 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 3: good view of it. It's called a supermoon simply because 68 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 3: it's closer to Earth and it's orbited around the Earth, 69 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 3: and it's only two hundred and twenty eight hundred and 70 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 3: seventeen miles away. Now put that in perspective, the average 71 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 3: distance of the Moon to the Earth is about two 72 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 3: hundred and thirty eighty nine hundred miles, So it will 73 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 3: be close, it'll be fourteen percent bigger, it'll be brighter, 74 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 3: and the best way to look at it is just 75 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 3: when it's rising over the horizon. You've got that stunning 76 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 3: view of your horizon, maybe a tree line you can 77 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 3: see it coming up through the trees, and it'd be 78 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 3: pretty magnificent to see it. 79 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 2: Now. My understanding, unfortunately, is that the weather I was 80 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 2: watching some of the newscast tonight, the weather might not 81 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 2: be ideal. That's going to potentially make an impact if 82 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 2: we don't. If we have bad weather Wednesday night, what 83 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 2: would be the second best night to see it? 84 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 3: Well, I would look Tuesday and then going into Thursday, 85 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 3: basically on either side of that Wednesday date. If there's 86 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 3: some clarity in the sky, you should be able to 87 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 3: still see it and still get a sense of how 88 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 3: magnificent it looks. 89 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 2: So when is it Well, I'm sure it fluctuates, but 90 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 2: at its farthest distance if this is you said two 91 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty two thousand miles, which would be about 92 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 2: ten times riding around the Earth when you think about it, 93 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 2: because the Earth is about twenty four thousand miles at 94 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 2: the equator around, so it's about ten times the distance. 95 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,239 Speaker 2: But you said normally on average it's about two forty 96 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 2: I always think of it as being two hundred and 97 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 2: fifty thousand miles. I guess I'm overstating that a little bit. 98 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 2: What's what's the furthest that's away? 99 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 3: I think around two fifty five to sixty two hundred 100 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 3: and sixty thousand miles away. 101 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 2: And the difference would you say it's going to be 102 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 2: fourteen percent bigger, that is from its average size or 103 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 2: from what it appears to be on an average size 104 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 2: or is it fourteen percent bigger? 105 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, we always be gauged by average size. So if 106 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 3: you look at the moon, typically you'll see it at 107 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 3: a half degree portion of the night sky. This time, 108 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 3: people will be kind of noticing it simply because it'll 109 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 3: be a little bit bigger, a little bit brighter, and 110 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 3: even if you kind of actually pay attention to, you 111 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 3: kind of tilt your head back and kind of wow, 112 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 3: that moon looks amazingly large and bright tonight. 113 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 2: So let me ask you in different parts of the country. 114 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 2: Obviously we're a radio station in Boston, but we're heard 115 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 2: all the terrestrial radio in thirty eight states and on 116 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 2: the internet anywhere around the world. Do we surprise the 117 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 2: places that pick up the nightside broadcast or the nightside podcasts? 118 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 2: I always get a sense that the further south I 119 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 2: am at any given time, the moon always looks a 120 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 2: little bigger. Is that in my head or is that 121 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 2: an actuality? 122 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 3: Usually when you look at the horizon, you can be 123 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 3: taken back because the moon looks so enormously big, even 124 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 3: if it's not at periget. Basically, it's just kind of 125 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 3: an illusion. That our mindset kind of creates trying to 126 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 3: get an idea for the size and the distance away 127 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 3: the moon is. And it looks larger when it's coming 128 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 3: over the horizon, when when the same moon is seen 129 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 3: overhead a couple hours later, it looks the same size 130 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 3: as always. So you get that kind of step back 131 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 3: moment when you see it coming over the rise. And 132 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 3: that's why we advise people look at it when it's 133 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 3: just over the rise and you get a better view 134 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 3: of it. 135 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 2: Okay, So I assume psychologically when we're down, when someone's 136 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 2: down in Florida or out in southern California, you're probably 137 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 2: spending more time out and about at whatever time of 138 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 2: the year than you would hear in New England, say 139 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 2: on a November night, And maybe that contributes to the 140 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 2: impression that I have that the moon is seems to 141 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 2: me to be bigger. I've been in Miami and I've 142 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 2: seen the moment down there and it was like, WHOA, 143 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 2: this is a really big moon. Has nothing to do 144 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 2: with my geographic location south of New England. 145 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. The other thing I should mention, now that you 146 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 3: mentioned Florida, I haven't been in Florida, but I'm just 147 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 3: thinking Florida is relatively flat compared to the New England states, 148 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 3: and as a result, you will see it at a 149 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 3: better view of that coming over the horizon to be 150 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 3: more stunning, a more uh An approved view of it 151 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 3: coming over the rise, and then you would see it 152 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 3: in New England. 153 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 2: Jim. One other thing that I always like to do 154 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 2: with you, I'd like for you to give your You're 155 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 2: a New England guy here and you're out in western Massachusetts, 156 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 2: if my memory serves correct. 157 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 3: Correct, Okay, tell. 158 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 2: Us about the Aldrich Astronomical Society. This is the second 159 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 2: time we've talked in two weeks. And can the average 160 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 2: person get on your website?

Looks to me like Somerville is 239 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 2: a great place if you're a little tight on the cash, 240 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 2: where you can eat just about any type of food 241 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 2: for under twenty dollars. 242 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 4: Which grew up with this idea first of all, well, 243 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 4: I mean it was sort of a personal pitch to 244 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 4: my editors. I actually live in Summerville. I know that 245 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 4: the food scene is great there, but actually it can 246 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 4: be quite extensive. It's a growing food scene, and it's 247 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 4: getting more extensive to live in Summerville. So I wanted 248 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 4: to track down the best foods to get that were 249 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 4: under twenty dollars, which we sort of chose the under 250 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 4: twenty dollars mark, knowing that you know, that's not for 251 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 4: everyone a cheap meal, but in Boston it's a pretty 252 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 4: good deal. And what I was looking for was a 253 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 4: high quality meal as well as something that could fill 254 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 4: you up. And we started with Summerville, but we're actually, 255 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 4: you know, looking to take this guide on the road 256 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 4: to other Boston suburbs as well. 257 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,959 Speaker 2: Well. When I worked a long time ago as a 258 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 2: television reporter at WBZ, and I was on different shifts, 259 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 2: morning shifts and evening shifts, primarily never a nine to 260 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 2: five shift, but either the early morning news or the 261 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 2: six and eleven. And one of the things that was 262 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 2: essential was particularly as a reporter where we were sent 263 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 2: far and wide all through out in New England, was 264 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 2: to know all the diners in New England, because diners 265 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 2: are great for breakfast and they're also great for dinner, 266 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 2: but there are and fewer diners. Now looks to me 267 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 2: like you've got some real interesting choices. One, don't give 268 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 2: us two or three of the choices. They're going to 269 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 2: have to read the article, which I believe was updated 270 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 2: on October twenty eighth, so it says, well, it was 271 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 2: just last week when you think about it, October twenty eighth. 272 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 2: Give us two or three of your big favorites and 273 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 2: tell us why they're your favorites. 274 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 4: Well, you mentioned diners. Kelly Diner is on there, so 275 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 4: we do have some diner staple food on there as well. 276 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 4: But some of my favorites are One is Buenos and 277 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 4: they're known for their impanadas at Bow Market. I live 278 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 4: near Bow Market and you pretty much can't go wrong 279 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 4: with any of the vendors in Bow Market because they're 280 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 4: all pretty affordable. But what I love about Buenos is 281 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 4: that I can get some pretty and banadas from there 282 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 4: for about five dollars each, So that's a go to 283 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 4: pick for me for lunch and for dinner. A newer 284 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 4: pick that I've been going to more recently is Docson. 285 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 4: It's a Thai restaurant and Davis Square. They have a 286 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 4: noodle soup dish for about twelve ninety five and just 287 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 4: comparing it to other Thai Rusians I've been to, that's 288 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 4: probably the most affordable that it gets. And I definitely 289 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 4: can't leave out Highland Kitchen, which is my favorite neighborhood bar. 290 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 4: Now this is one of the more expensive items on 291 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 4: the menu, but I did hear that you're a fan 292 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 4: of burgers, and I absolutely love their cheese burger meal 293 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 4: at Highland Kitchen. It's eighteen dollars and the rest of 294 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 4: their menu too, is sort of Southern inspired comfort food. 295 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 4: I actually come from the South, so it's a favorite 296 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 4: in our household to go to and grab some fried 297 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 4: chicken as well. 298 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 2: Well. I wouldn't know that there's no Southern accent here whereabouts? 299 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 2: Down south? 300 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 4: I could ask originally from Savannah, but I moved here 301 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 4: from New Orleans. 302 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 2: Great Savannah's great city. I mean, it's just it's it's 303 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 2: worth the trip just to see the bench that Tom 304 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 2: Hanks sat on and you know, as a as an 305 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 2: actor and delivered some great some great lines in Forrest Coump. 306 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 2: That's that's that's a that was my favorite spot in Savannah. 307 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 2: So so how is it that these restaurants can can 308 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 2: function with menu items that are and again you hate 309 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 2: to think. I mean there are some people who twenty 310 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 2: dollars is a lot of money. I mean it's it 311 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 2: can still be a lot of money, but by today's 312 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 2: restaurants standards, that's not bad. And and you pulled together 313 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 2: a big list here of locations as well as reviews 314 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 2: and pictures, so it's going to help a lot of people. 315 00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 2: How does how do the these little restaurants in Somerville, 316 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 2: how can they pull this off? 317 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: Sure? 318 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,959 Speaker 4: Well, I can tell you this that when I when 319 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 4: I interviewed a few would these restaurants, you know, they 320 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 4: all sort of tell me the same thing that they 321 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 4: are charging too little for the for the food and. 322 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 2: Every time I do a contract association doesn't work. But 323 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 2: I do tell them. 324 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know, I think that they have to 325 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 4: make a decision in the restaurant business. What they're facing 326 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 4: are similar things that we as customers are facing. I mean, 327 00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 4: you go to the grocery store and food it's really expensive. 328 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 4: Well it's really extensive for them as well. They also 329 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 4: face higher labor costs and high leased costs as well. 330 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 4: But they also know that people aren't going to pay 331 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 4: much more than they're already paying for food. I mean, 332 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,359 Speaker 4: like I mentioned that eighteen dollars burger, or you know, 333 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 4: I did your feedback about the prices of breakfast sandwiches 334 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 4: at some of the locations in the guide. But you 335 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 4: know it, I think we're all sort of in Greater 336 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 4: Boston is well a little desensitized to these prices. I mean, 337 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 4: like I mentioned, I'm from the South and food is 338 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 4: significantly cheaper there for the most part. And you know, 339 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 4: just from covering the food scene for two years now, 340 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 4: I'd say that a lot of these prices are pretty 341 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 4: standard and are generally good deals for what you get. 342 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 4: And a big thing for me, including these restaurants, was 343 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 4: to make sure that I was picking some of the 344 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 4: best restaurants so that I would actually recommend and tell 345 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 4: you to go to. 346 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 2: Oh. Absolutely, authenticity and integrity two important elements, that's for sure. Well, Caitlin, 347 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,400 Speaker 2: thank you very much. I'll look forward to you next 348 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 2: if you get to if you get over to Cambridge, 349 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 2: don't forget this. Check out the burgers at missus Bartley's 350 00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 2: in Harvard Square. It's a great, great restaurant and it's 351 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 2: and it's great burgers. So that's at least have you been. 352 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,679 Speaker 2: Have you been to Bartley's in Harvard Square at some 353 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,680 Speaker 2: point or no, I. 354 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 4: Have not, But you know, Cambridge could definitely be another 355 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 4: location we look at as we're as we're pulling out 356 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 4: more of these guys and we're actually asking for more 357 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 4: reader input as well.

Caitlin, thanks again, 367 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 2: enjoyed the conversation tonight. You are an epicurean delight. Thank 368 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 2: you so much. 369 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 4: Thanks for having me. 370 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 2: All Right, we get back here on nights. We're going 371 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 2: to talk with another guest for a few minutes, and 372 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 2: this is going to deal with a Triple A study 373 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 2: that drivers' failures to slow down move over kills roadside workers. 374 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 2: I think we had a bad accident last night. We 375 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 2: talked with Mark shield Drop, Triple A, senior spokesperson here 376 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 2: in the Northeast, right after this break at the bottom 377 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 2: of the Iron. We're just a little late for news 378 00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 2: about a minute or two back right after. 379 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: This night side with Dan Ray on WBZ, Boston's news radio. 380 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 2: My guess is Mark shield Drop. Mark is the senior 381 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 2: spokes person for Triple A Northeast. Mark, We're going to 382 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 2: be talking about drivers failures to slow down move over 383 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,199 Speaker 2: when you see either a state police car having stopped 384 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:53,359 Speaker 2: someone on the road or roadside workers. I think there 385 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 2: was a pretty bad accident today that I saw on 386 00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:00,360 Speaker 2: one of the newscasts with a roadside worker who hit 387 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 2: last night I think it was on ninety five in 388 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 2: the Foxborough area. Am I imagining that or did I 389 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 2: actually see something dealing with that accident? 390 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 5: You are correct, and thanks for having me Dan again. Yeah, 391 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 5: a tough story. Fortunately, the police are indicating that the 392 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 5: victim is expected to survive, but he was hit by 393 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,680 Speaker 5: a vehicle. It was a hit and run crash. This 394 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 5: is a person construction worker who was setting up a 395 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 5: work detail at two fifteen in the morning when a 396 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 5: car struck him. The police found a side mirror that 397 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 5: seems to have been detached from the suspects vehicle, and 398 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,399 Speaker 5: it really speaks to this exact issue that we're supposed 399 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 5: to talk about. And it's, you know, very timely for 400 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,719 Speaker 5: us to be talking about this now. We scheduled this 401 00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 5: last week and you know, would you believe it night 402 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 5: before I'm going to come on and talk about the 403 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 5: importance of PHOTA move over. We have a textbook example. Thankfully, 404 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 5: you know, this person is expected to survive, but he 405 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 5: was injured and that could be a life altering injury. 406 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 5: You know, that person may not be able to go 407 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 5: to work for a while. I mean, this is a 408 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 5: big problem we have on our roadways right now. 409 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 2: Well, the other thing is that it's two fifteen in 410 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 2: the morning. You don't want to make any assumptions about anyone, 411 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 2: but there's a lot of people on the road at 412 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 2: that hour who shouldn't be on the road for one 413 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 2: reason or another. And if they hit someone, why don't 414 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 2: you stop? And yeah, now again, people can panic and 415 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 2: that happens. The way to avoid all of this is 416 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 2: to drive at a time when you're capable of driving. 417 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 2: Don't drive when you're overly tired. And if you do 418 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 2: see some sort of a construction site or a police 419 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 2: officer with the blue light's flat, actually have he pulled 420 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 2: someone over, Get over in the left lane, get out 421 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 2: of the right lane, get out of the middle lane, 422 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 2: give them time, and give you time to get around 423 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 2: these people safely. And God forbid, maybe you have to 424 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 2: slow down a little bit. Maybe it's going to cost 425 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 2: you twenty or thirty seconds on your trip, but you're 426 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 2: going to save yourself a lot of aggravation. If they 427 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:28,959 Speaker 2: got a side mirror on this guy, I think I 428 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 2: think they're going to be able to match that pretty quickly. 429 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, the investigative trail, you know, they've got a really 430 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 5: strong lead there and hopefully the person involved the incident 431 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 5: decides to turn themselves in and take accountability for what 432 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 5: they did. And you know you said that really well, Dan, 433 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 5: two fifteen in the morning. You know, that's when we 434 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,719 Speaker 5: see the types of crashes that are very very very preventable, 435 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 5: speeding in pair driving. And I'm not going to make 436 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 5: any assumptions about this incident. We don't know what happened. 437 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 2: I know, oh no. 438 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 5: You didn't. You did a great job kind of characterizing 439 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 5: that heightened risk that does occur at night. And really, 440 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 5: you know, you have to respect the construction workers work 441 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 5: in those those hours doing work to improve our roads, 442 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 5: and toad drivers and first responders and construction workers, utility workers. 443 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,719 Speaker 5: These are folks that are are out there to help people, 444 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 5: and many of them are getting struck on the roadside 445 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 5: assisting people like you and me. So the least we 446 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 5: can do is slow down and move over. And I 447 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 5: really like what you said about slowing down a little 448 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 5: bit because there's some confusion out there. We do see 449 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 5: pretty okay compliance. You know, I don't want to say 450 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 5: it's great. Our recent research shows that about sixty four 451 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,719 Speaker 5: percent of drivers either slow down and move over, but 452 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 5: almost forty percent didn't do anything differently. That tells me 453 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 5: maybe they're not paying attention and people are really driving 454 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 5: too quickly. If you talk to a roadside technician, you 455 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 5: talk to direct worker, or even a state trooper who's 456 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,199 Speaker 5: on our freeways, they'll tell you what it's like when 457 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 5: you're on the roadside and cars whizen big on seventy 458 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 5: five eighty miles an hour. So listening your foot off 459 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,919 Speaker 5: that gas, slow it down a little bit. If you 460 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 5: can't move over, you know, slow it down. And if 461 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 5: you're in the middle lane, slow it down too, because 462 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 5: then you can make a little room for that person 463 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,199 Speaker 5: the right lane to move over, and that can make 464 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 5: a huge difference and prevent some of what we've seen 465 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 5: recently and what we saw last night. 466 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 2: The other thing, too, is that I know that most drivers, 467 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 2: including myself, when we're driving during the day and there's 468 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 2: road work, most of us will say, we why don't 469 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 2: they do this work at night when there's not as 470 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,959 Speaker 2: much traffic on the road. Well, when they're doing it 471 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 2: at night and there's not as much traffic on the road, 472 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 2: it helps those of us who have to drive during 473 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 2: the day or have to get to work but it's 474 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 2: more dangerous at night simply because visibility is more difficult. 475 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 2: People sometimes are wearing clothes that you don't see that 476 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 2: person as clearly as you would. And you add in 477 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 2: whatever whatever people, whether they're tired or any other way impacted. Adversely, 478 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,199 Speaker 2: those men and women who are working at night to 479 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,479 Speaker 2: make our commute during the day more easy and to 480 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 2: improve the roads, they're putting themselves in danger. And the 481 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 2: least we can do as drivers is to get the 482 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,199 Speaker 2: heck over and give them a break. And if it 483 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 2: slows down the traffic and the process, well that's not 484 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 2: a bad thing either. 485 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 5: No one hundred percent agree. I mean, I really couldn't 486 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 5: say much better than that, you know, that is the 487 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 5: least we can do. These are people with families at 488 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 5: home who worry about them. They've got children, spouses, parents, 489 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,959 Speaker 5: you know. The ripple effect from an incident like this, 490 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 5: you know, has serious consequences. They have co workers. Think 491 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 5: about the folks who have to watch their colleague get 492 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 5: transported from the scene. They still got to finish their 493 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 5: job that night. The troopers there and this is a scene, 494 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 5: you know, troopers around scene, thank goodness, and they were 495 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 5: able to apply a tournique to the victim's injured leg. 496 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 5: So we don't know how this could have could have 497 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 5: been if it was a different situation. But with troopers 498 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 5: there and construction crew sitting up at detail, that would 499 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 5: suggest that there's flashing lights already. There are plenty of 500 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 5: warning signs as a driver when you're driving along that 501 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 5: there's construction up ahead. Work zones are everywhere now, so 502 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,639 Speaker 5: you really have to be making a point of not 503 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 5: paying attention or caring to cause an incident where somebody 504 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 5: struck on the roadside, and by slowing down and moving over, 505 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,360 Speaker 5: you're eliminating that close call, you're reducing the one. 506 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 2: The other thing to remember is that this is the law. 507 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 2: And yeah, just as there's a speed limit of the road, 508 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 2: if the speed limit is sixty five miles an hour, 509 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 2: keep it one hundred and sixty five. But if you 510 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 2: if the Lauren Massachusetts is if you see someone on 511 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 2: the side of the road, particularly someone who's working or 512 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 2: police officer, or if it's just an average person. I mean, 513 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 2: if there's some guy out there who's walking on the 514 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 2: road and putting himself in danger, you don't want to 515 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 2: hit the guy. Just pull over, slow down, pull over. 516 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 2: It's just common sense, common sense. 517 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 5: Absolutely, it is a law in off of these states. 518 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's true. To remember, I should have I 519 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,879 Speaker 2: should have mentioned that. Thank you for correcting of that, 520 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 2: because no matter where in the sound of our voice, 521 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 2: shel listening, this is a this is a common sense law. 522 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 2: Mark shield Drop, senior spokesman for tripa A Northeast. As always, 523 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 2: I really enjoy every time talking with your palal I thank. 524 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 5: You, s Thanks Dan. I agree that I enjoy it 525 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 5: very much. Thanks so much, Dan, have a great one book. 526 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 2: Well, we get back when we talk about negative campaign ads, 527 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 2: negative political ads. We're going to talk with a professor 528 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 2: who's an assist the professor in college, and we are 529 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 2: going to talk about the reason why negative campaign ads 530 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 2: persist because they work. I actually like negative campaign ads 531 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 2: because it tells me that for the most part, that 532 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 2: the guy or the gal that's running the negative campaign 533 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,600 Speaker 2: ads doesn't have much to say about themselves. We'll see 534 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 2: if my guest, doctor Bob Kabbala, agrees with me or not. 535 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 2: We'll be back on Nightside right after this quick break. 536 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: You're on night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ Boston's 537 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: news radio. 538 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 2: Well, tomorrow is suit of what we call the off 539 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 2: year elections. These are not president it's not a presidential year, 540 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 2: and it's not a mid term election. It is an election, 541 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 2: the first election that follows the election the presidential year election. 542 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 2: So that tomorrow we have races for the governor's office 543 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 2: in both Virginia and New Jersey, as well as the 544 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 2: mayoral race in New York City. So we've all seen 545 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 2: a little bit of politics in the last few weeks. 546 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 2: And with us as a professor, Bob Cabbala, he's a 547 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 2: PhD and poly side from Yale University and assistant professor 548 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 2: in Texas. And we're gonna talk about negative campaign ads. Professor, 549 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 2: I want you to know I love watching negative campaign ads. 550 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 2: I'm sure it probably times you crazy, but I think 551 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 2: they haven't they have a value. And I'd love to 552 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 2: know what your thought is about these negative campaign ads. 553 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 6: Now there's something to that. And thanks so much for 554 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 6: having me on. I actually really agree. And look, let 555 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 6: me say, do campaign negative campaign ads sometimes work? They 556 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 6: sure do, and we could, you know, go down the 557 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 6: list of classics. There's lbj's nineteen sixty four, you know, 558 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 6: Daisy ad against Barry Goldwater, which but which. 559 00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 2: By which, by the which, by the way, was absolutely untrue. 560 00:30:55,680 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 2: Goldwaller had never said I'm gonna nuke anybody. 561 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 6: But then well see, there you go. And so as 562 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 6: far back as eighteen hundred Thomas Jefferson campaigns, you could 563 00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 6: say in a negative way, he probably had some reason 564 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 6: to against John Adams, who's being restrictive on freedom of 565 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 6: speech issues. As recently as two thousand and four, think 566 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 6: of George W. Bush and the swift Boat Veterans ad. 567 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 6: Of course that was an independent or an aligned group. 568 00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 6: So look, there's a time and a place you mentioned 569 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 6: in the lead up that often a negative ad suggests 570 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 6: the person who's putting it out has nothing positive to say. 571 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 6: That can be true as well. So these can certainly backfire, 572 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 6: and I agree with you on that. 573 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting to watch. Yeah, they can be some 574 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 2: I think that political ads. I think the best ads 575 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 2: on TV right now are the Progressive ads for the 576 00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:00,840 Speaker 2: Progressive Insurance Company, where they use humor, you know, don't 577 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 2: don't turn into your parents, and they have a guy 578 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 2: who's sort of the teacher. He's almost like professorial, and 579 00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 2: he's talking to these people and trying to help them 580 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 2: not turn into their parents. I wish that it would 581 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 2: be more humor in presidential ads, and I think I 582 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 2: don't know that we crossed into that area much as yet, 583 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 2: but it's just I think is a potentially agree for 584 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 2: some smart people to come up with some humorous ads 585 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 2: where you can sort of gently or maybe not so gently, 586 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 2: make fun of your candidate and then quickly flip it 587 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 2: back and say, but you know, with me, I think, 588 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 2: I don't know. It just seems to me that that's 589 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:43,360 Speaker 2: the next frontier. 590 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 6: And I take it when you say I agree when 591 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 6: you say humor, that's probably not quite the same thing 592 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 6: as trolling. But look when you say being positive and 593 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 6: humorous is effective, I think that's where people have to 594 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,640 Speaker 6: be careful, especially about negative ads. To me, look at 595 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 6: all the negative ads that have been thrown against mom Donnie, 596 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 6: and I happen to have a very particular view of 597 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 6: mister mom Donnie's ideologies. I disagree with his political take, 598 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 6: but he seemed to really withstand the negative ads that 599 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 6: have been thrown at him. And I think the reason 600 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 6: is he comes across as a positive, policy oriented candidate 601 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 6: in this race. He's younger, so I think the risk 602 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 6: when you're kind of going negative, if you're maybe older 603 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 6: and not seen as thorough goingly positive and optimistic, you know, 604 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 6: it can backfire. It backfired for Momdale when he went 605 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 6: after Reagan in nineteen eighty four in a negative way, 606 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,160 Speaker 6: and then Reagan actually responded with some humor in that 607 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:51,880 Speaker 6: one of those debates. I'm sure you recall, Yeah, he 608 00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 6: wouldn't refer to his candidates, you know, age and exactly exactly, so, yes, 609 00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,000 Speaker 6: I think that's the next friend. 610 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:01,800 Speaker 2: I think it was the lie of his youth and 611 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 2: lack of experience, and that was spontaneous that I'm sure 612 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 2: that probably they had prepared him for that. I remember. 613 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,439 Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm sure you recall this. Dan 614 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,960 Speaker 2: Quayle was debating Lloyd Benston in nineteen eighty eighty eight 615 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,919 Speaker 2: the vice presidential debate, and Bent and Quail had been 616 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 2: Quail had been talking about his age and he was 617 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,399 Speaker 2: only I think forty two at the time, and he 618 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,399 Speaker 2: was comparing himself to Jack Kennedy who was elected at 619 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 2: the age of forty three, and Benston. You just knew 620 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,440 Speaker 2: Benson was going to have some sort of a line 621 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 2: like that, and Benston hit Quail with the Texas draw. 622 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 2: You know, a new President Kennedy and you know President 623 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 2: You're know John Kennedy and Wuayle had that look in 624 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:54,399 Speaker 2: the deer in the headlight look. And immediately I thought 625 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,880 Speaker 2: to myself that if I were Quail and I was 626 00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,759 Speaker 2: in I was in the media room in Omaha, that 627 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,840 Speaker 2: vias Quaila, I would have waited for the applause to 628 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,800 Speaker 2: die down, and I would have turned to Benston and 629 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 2: I would say he would have said something like Senator Benston, 630 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:14,880 Speaker 2: I know Mike Docaccus and you know Mike Docraccus because 631 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 2: was trying to get the conservative Democrat. Uh, he was 632 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,840 Speaker 2: trying to recreate the Boston Austin connection from from nineteen sixty. 633 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,839 Speaker 6: But absolutely when you take it in stride like that, 634 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:28,720 Speaker 6: when you roll with it and you've got the humor, 635 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,120 Speaker 6: and you know, you mentioned Ducacus, which is interesting because 636 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 6: he was really on the receiving end of you know, 637 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:39,200 Speaker 6: one of the most devastatingly effective attack ads. And you know, 638 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 6: say what you will about whether overall running you know, 639 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 6: the Willie Horton ad. I mean, there's many ways to 640 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,880 Speaker 6: see it, but just in terms of day to day effectiveness, 641 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 6: people care about crime and that was probably an ad 642 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 6: that that he didn't recover from. So it's I think 643 00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:58,840 Speaker 6: it's it's came. 644 00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 2: By, by the way, just for the for the record, 645 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 2: that issue was first raised not by the Bush campaign 646 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 2: but by the Al Gore campaign. Okay, well that's fair 647 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 2: running against. And then that was it was reinforced when 648 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 2: Bernard Shaw asked Caucus the question about what would you do. 649 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,680 Speaker 2: It's a tough question. If your wife were raped and murdered, 650 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 2: would you change your position? Yeah, death metally into caucus. 651 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,880 Speaker 2: You know, I don't think he handled that as well 652 00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 2: as you should have. 653 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 4: And I well, and. 654 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 6: To be clear, I would have voted for Herbert Walker Bush. 655 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,560 Speaker 6: I interned for for President George W. 656 00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:32,879 Speaker 2: Bush. 657 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,399 Speaker 6: So I'm you know that my vote would would have been, 658 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 6: you know, in that direction.
