1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: It's Night Side with Dan Ray. I'm going Boston's a

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: be Radio.

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 2: All right, thank you very much. Al. We have now

4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 2: reached the twentieth hour of the week here on Nightside.

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 2: I think all of you know it's a tradition on Nightside.

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 2: We have our little traditions. Okay. One of the traditions

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 2: I want to mention, by the way, is coming up

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: on November tenth, we will do a nineteenth annual college

9
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 2: Admissions show. We call it the College Admissions Panel. We

10
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 2: will have with us that night as we have had

11
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 2: for the first eighteen years. Bill Fitzimmons, the Dean of

12
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 2: Admissions at Harvard University, also will be joined by Boston

13
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 2: College Admissions Director Grant Gosling. Now, the title can be

14
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,319
Speaker 2: a little bit different at different schools, but they are

15
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 2: the top guys in terms of admissions. If you have

16
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 2: any member of your family, a child, a grandchild, a

17
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: great grandchild who's in the process or coming up in

18
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: the process of applying to college, you want to make

19
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: sure they listen on Monday night, November ten and beginning

20
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: at eight o'clock. And you also want to make sure

21
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 2: you want to make sure that the parents are listening

22
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 2: as well, because there's lots of information that helps parents

23
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 2: understand the process, particularly for families with their first college

24
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 2: potential college student. If you've been through the process three

25
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: or four times, you can always learn something. However, this

26
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: is your first time, that's the first time at the rodeo.

27
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: It's pretty wild and there's lots of ways in which

28
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 2: you can improve the process and improve the chances of

29
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 2: your child getting into the school that he or she

30
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 2: might want to get into. So that's a little bit

31
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: of a publicity coming up now. This is the twentieth hour,

32
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: and the twentieth hour on Night Side for time immemorial,

33
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: we basically kind of kick back. Everybody who called this

34
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: week has hall pass, so it doesn't matter if you've

35
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: never called, or if you've called once this week, are

36
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: ready all the everybody can call. As simple as that,

37
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 2: we call it the Night Side twentieth our hall past.

38
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: Here's the question that I would like to ask. I've

39
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: never asked this question before, and it's a question that

40
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: involves some circumspection, but not a lot. Don't sit there

41
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: for an hour and be circumspecting, because we only have

42
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: about fifty minutes left and I want to hear from you.

43
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 2: The question is really simple, are you an optimist or

44
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 2: a pessimist? Now, obviously, in order to answer that question,

45
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: you have to define in your mind what an optimist

46
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 2: is and what a pessimist is. Most people will look

47
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: at the metaphor of is the glass half full or

48
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: half empty? So optimists see the glass as half full,

49
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 2: pessimists see the glass as half empty. Maybe you can

50
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 2: help us define it. But I'd like to hear from

51
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: all of you, and I would like to I don't

52
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 2: know how we will total this up, but I will

53
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: keep track, and I'd like to know if my audience

54
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: tends to be optimistic or pessimistic. I like to think

55
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 2: of myself as an optimist. However, I know there have

56
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: been in situations where I allow pessimism to overwhelm me.

57
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: But the question is inherently how do you view yourself?

58
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 2: Do you view yourself as a person who is optimistic?

59
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: When you get up in the morning, you think, Okay,

60
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: this is another day, I'm going to make the most

61
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: of it and good things are going to happen. Or

62
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 2: do you get up in the morning and say, oh,

63
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: I dread the day and maybe good things are maybe

64
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: bad things are going to happen. That'd be one way

65
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: to describe it. I don't want to influence you. I

66
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: just want to ask. It's a very simple question. An

67
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 2: optimist or a pessimist one seven, two, five four ten thirty,

68
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: six one seven, nine three one ten thirty. And by

69
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: the way, if you would like to tell me a

70
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: story of why you think you are an optimist or

71
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: a pessimist, that's helpful too. It's as simple as that.

72
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 2: Before we get to phone calls and feel free to

73
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 2: start doubting right now. Six one seven, two, five four

74
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: to ten thirty or six one seven, nine three one

75
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 2: ten thirty. And I'd like to know what makes you.

76
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: I think all of us are creatures of our own experience,

77
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 2: and I think that is something that I have learned

78
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: in life that I really believe that. And you can.

79
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: You could look at it from the point of view

80
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 2: of people who you know, discipline themselves. They have a

81
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 2: very disciplined lifestyle, lest other people have a less disciplined lifestyle.

82
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 2: That's fine, okay, it doesn't matter what lifestyle you choose,

83
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 2: but your lifestyle reflects, I think your nature. What type

84
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: of jobs do you have, what type of what are

85
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: your interests. I think all of those questions define who

86
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: we are. So I'm asking you to just be a

87
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: little introspective. So this week we started well again. We

88
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 2: had each night this week. I'm not going to go

89
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: over all of the eight o'clock guests we had this

90
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 2: week because we did have some really good ones and

91
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 2: we had some ones that, you know, we're probably not

92
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 2: the best, but that's okay. I want to talk about

93
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 2: the guests. We talked with Jeff Robbins on Monday night

94
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 2: about Israel and the release of the hostages, which was

95
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 2: a great night. And we talked for a couple of

96
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: hours about reaction to the Middle East Deal, which we

97
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 2: hope holds, there's no doubt about that. We talked during

98
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 2: the Yeah, Jacob Wycoff from WBC TV weather Guy was here.

99
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 2: He was a really good eight to forty five guest

100
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 2: on Tuesday night. I'm a little biased because obviously I

101
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 2: worked at WBC for many years. He was talking about

102
00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: an infestation of worms, microscopic worms on beech trees. That night,

103
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 2: we talked about the federal shutdown for a couple of hours,

104
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,799
Speaker 2: which is still going on. It's now in day seventeen

105
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 2: on Wednesday night, we talked about the increase in road

106
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: accidents with Martin Fie and the mass Division of Fisheries

107
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: and Wildlife. More dear, more moose on the road, so

108
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 2: we drive carefully. Talked on Wednesday night about Seth Moulton's

109
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 2: decision to challenge ed Mark. He got two hours out

110
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 2: of that, which I thought was good. Last night, we

111
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 2: talked to a doctor, Bruce Herman. He's talking about young

112
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 2: people who are getting facelifts at the age of the

113
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 2: late twenties, insane. He's a plastic surgeon, doesn't believe in it.

114
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 2: Then we talked with Eric Slifkup of Global Partners in

115
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: John Cesto or the Boston Globe about that Massachusetts turnpike

116
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: deal which has never come through. And we talked for

117
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: last hour last night about the story that political broke

118
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 2: of some racist, sexist, and homo phobic comments made by

119
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 2: young people members of the Republicans Young Republicans clubs. Horrible

120
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 2: story and they need to grow up as simple as that.

121
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 2: Tonight we talked with my friend and classmate at Boston

122
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 2: Lands School, John Powers. He wrote a great piece of

123
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 2: The Boston Globe today about the head of the childs,

124
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: the history of the head of the Child's race. We

125
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: also talked with Logan Hall, another reporter from WZTV, about

126
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: a discovery of some rare baseball cards, I mean rare

127
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 2: baseball cards that someone paid seventy five dollars for a

128
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: trunk and the trunk the baseball cards were glued to

129
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: the inside of the hood, the hood of the trunk,

130
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: and they worth thousands and thousands of dollars. And then

131
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: tonight we talked about energy prices going up this winter

132
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: and what can be done to keep them down. And

133
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 2: we also talked about Donald Trump looking at Venezuela and

134
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 2: what might happen. A lot of military action down in

135
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 2: the Caribbean. Wouldn't be a bit surprised if there's something

136
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 2: in the offing. Now the issue tonight, are you an

137
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: optimist or are you a pessimist? I would like to

138
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 2: and everybody does have, as I say, the Hall pass

139
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 2: to call back. And I've already seen the Daniel from

140
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 2: Leicester who kind of got a short call last hour

141
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: because of the number of calls at the end of

142
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: the hour. Let's start it off here. Let me go,

143
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: I'm going to go to Carol in Randolph who was

144
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 2: the first caller, And Carol, you're going to start us

145
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: off strong. Carol, are you an optimist or a pessimist?

146
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Dan, I am such an optimist.

147
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 2: Good for you. I love you already.

148
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 3: I mean, I start out every day and I'm just so.

149
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 3: I drive the Expressway every day until world.

150
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: No.

151
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 3: It makes me a pessimist and I swear the whole

152
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 3: way in at everybody. But when I get to my

153
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 3: office and I park in my building, I come up

154
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 3: and I'm happy and I'm like, oh my god. One

155
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 3: thing that is so important, though, is say hello to

156
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 3: your security people in your building. Know their names, acknowledge them,

157
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 3: and just make them know that you recognize what they

158
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: do and how important they are. And that makes my

159
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 3: day happy. And just recognize everybody that comes in and

160
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 3: greet you, the FedEx people, the UPS people, They're all

161
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 3: working people. And if you're happy and you greet them

162
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 3: happy instead of negative, it makes your days so much better.

163
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 2: Carol.

164
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 3: I feel that people from what they do, and.

165
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: I feel by the way I happen to I happen

166
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 2: to think of myself as an optimist generally, although I

167
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: can have my pessimistic moments. However, however, I do the

168
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: same thing particularly I've always done with cleaning crews. You know,

169
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 2: I've worked primarily night hours in my career in both

170
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 2: in television and radio, and I've met a lot of

171
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 2: people who clean at night. Uh and many of them

172
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 2: they almost seem that they wouldn't look at you as

173
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: and I always that made me uncomfortable, and I went

174
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: out of my way to try to talk to people

175
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 2: and find out their name and say hey, what do

176
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 2: you do, And you know, they give me their name

177
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 2: and I say, well, I work here too, I'm Dan.

178
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 2: Nice to meet you and people I've made a lot

179
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 2: of friends over the years.

180
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 3: Special people, the people that you're building, the maintenance people say,

181
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 3: make your life unbelievably happy if you have a good

182
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 3: relationship with them.

183
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 2: And I loved your call. This is the perfect call

184
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 2: that started off. We're going to talk to some people

185
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: who are going to view view the world a little differently.

186
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 2: But I got to tell you are I feel like

205
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,360

206
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 2: door was unfunctional, dysfunctional. Anyway, I was able to call,

207

208
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 2: was a woman who answered, and she came home and

209
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 2: physically got me out of the garage. Let me tell you,

226
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: for calling back. I'm guessing you're an optimist.

227
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 5: Daniel, hello again. You know I no, no, please you.

228
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 5: You know, even even a man like you can be

229
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 5: right or can be wrong.

230
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 4: You know.

231
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 5: Yes. I used to despise people who sat on the

232
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 5: fence until I came to find out that actually there's

233
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 5: there's two kinds of people, uh more than two kinds

234
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 5: of people. Some can be a serious, others can be

235
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 5: mesochistic and so that whole idea, But treat others like

236
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 5: they will treat you. I found out that there's some

237
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 5: people who would want to who are mesochists and they

238
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 5: want to be treated nastily, and so they will, they

239
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 5: will hit me and hope I can hit them mad.

240
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 5: So so I sit on the fence to know who

241
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 5: I'm dealing with, because anyone can be right.

242
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 2: Okay. So so you you, you can be an optimist

243
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 2: or a pessimist based upon the way you have been treated.

244
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 5: Exactly.

245
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 2: I know.

246
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 5: I'm also from my observation in that moment because like you,

247
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 5: as you say, you cut me, you cut me short

248
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 5: when I was saying that, you know, people might when

249
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 5: when we throw bricks at people, and you know, and

250
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 5: and we have power, you know, before they get to

251
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 5: our show, so we can arrest them. It might be

252
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 5: that day. Maybe we're afraid of what if we arrest them,

253
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 5: what they might reveal about us. Maybe they are competitives.

254
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 5: It proper.

255
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 2: I think we've strayed from the question of whether you're

256
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 2: an optimist or a pessimist here, Daniels, So I'm not

257
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 2: if you're not gonna characterize yourself, I'm gonna leave you

258
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 2: as to be determined.

259
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 5: How about how about a final word? A final word?

260
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 6: Is this?

261
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 4: You know?

262
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 5: Why are you leaving out the third? The touch category

263
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 5: on the fence.

264
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 2: Well, I'll put you on the fence, but it can

265
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 2: be uncomfortable. We're sitting on the fence, remember that. Okay,

266
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: thanks Daniel. All Right, Daniel is on the fence, so

267
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 2: be it. Okay, you'd like to anyone like to join

268
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 2: Daniel and the fence, feel free, Thank you, Daniel. Optimist

269
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 2: or a pessimist, that's what we're talking about. Gonna go

270
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 2: to Paul in Plymouth. Paul you next on nights out

271
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 2: of you an optimist or a pessimist?

272
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 4: I did, Yeah, I'm I'm an optimist.

273
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 2: You know.

274
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what because when you you know, you

275
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 4: go through these uh crummy phases of life or whatever,

276
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 4: you know, and all of a sudden you see the

277
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 4: the light at the end of the tunnel. So you know,

278
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 4: you go to these different cycles and it always you

279
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 4: always end up on the on the right side. So

280
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 4: if you know, if you're you're above ground today, you're

281
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 4: you're have a good reason to be an optimist.

282
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I think that that's a good way to

283
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 2: look at it too. And you know, all of us

284
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 2: eventually are are going to have a day when we're

285
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: no longer above ground. You might as well, enjoy the

286
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 2: days while while you're here. I again, I think that

287
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 2: there are a lot of people who are dealing with

288
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: very you know, serious sets of circumstances whatever. They can

289
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 2: be medical circumstances or other circumstances, things that can get

290
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 2: you down. But somehow, some way, you gotta fight around.

291
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 2: You gotta fight around those, I think in my opinion,

292
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 2: and that's your point of view.

293
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you don't remember that the Rudolph the Red

294
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 4: Nose Reindeer, the the thing we watch every year, Chris, I.

295
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 2: Do remember that story, yes, yes, I yeah, I remember.

296
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 4: There's always Tomorrow.

297
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 2: So that's one one of my favorite songs, by the way,

298
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: from from the musical Annie Tomorrow Tomorrow. Yeah, that's the

299
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 2: song from the musical as well, Tomorrow I Love you Tomorrow.

300
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 2: That's that's I'm not going to sing it, trust me.

301
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 2: I don't want to lose my entire audience. So that's

302
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 2: that's that's where as we go with that. All right, Paul,

303
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 2: I got you down as an optimist. Thank you so much.

304
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: Call more often. I'd love to hear your voice more often.

305
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, yeah, thanks Dan, appreciate it.

306
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 2: You bet you let me go to Laurie in Idaho.

307
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 2: I'm guessing Laurie is an optimist.

308
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 7: Well i am, but I'm no Pollyanna.

309
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 4: Let's put it that way.

310
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 2: Okay, that's fine, that's fine. A reason a reasonable optimist exactly.

311
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 7: I'm always prepared for something to come down the line

312
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 7: that you don't really care for, but in general, it

313
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 7: doesn't you know, it doesn't hang my life up totally.

314
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 2: Okay, So how do you how do you deal as

315
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 2: an optimist with days where I'll call them metaphorically cloudy days.

316
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 7: The sun will come out tomorrow.

317
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, that's right, that's any right.

318
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 7: I mean, I don't I don't sit there and hide.

319
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 5: I mean, you just deal.

320
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 4: You gotta deal with it. It's life.

321
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 7: You just deal and you know you'd be grateful for

322
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 7: the good things or you or you let yourself wallow

323
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 7: for a little bit. But you know, it doesn't chant

324
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 7: the rest of the work, the day, the week, the life.

325
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I know. Yeah. I mean we all get

326
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 2: into a funk, but the question is can you get

327
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 2: out of that funk?

328
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 4: Yeah?

329
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm a huge fan of having a good

330
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 7: sense of humor and after and sometimes that can go

331
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 7: a long way. To help a lot of stuff.

332
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 2: Absolutely, absolutely, Again, this was a topic that I decided

333
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 2: to do at about ten fifty eight tonight. I thought

334
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 2: about it during the day. You know, my favorite is

335
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 2: doing brushes with celebrity, and then there's what grinds your gears.

336
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 2: And we had a good one last last week. I'm

337
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 2: trying to recall what it was suggested to me last

338
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 2: week by Marita, and it was where's the father'st place

339
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 2: in the world you've traveled? And it worked great, and

340
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 2: I'm hoping that works. Yeah, I'm hoping this one works

341
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 2: great too, because I think most of my listeners are

342
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 2: going to be categorized as optimists, and so far that's

343
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 2: been that's been.

344
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 8: I like it.

345
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 7: I think it's good.

346
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 2: Well, we'll see what other people have to say. This

347
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 2: is sort of people kind of have to expose their

348
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 2: inner self a little bit here to get on the

349
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 2: radio and admit they are optimist or pessimists and whatever

350
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 2: whatever way they whatever they want to go, is fine

351
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 2: with me.

352
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 4: Laurie to Lee.

353
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 2: You got it right. Well, we we we do have

354
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: Daniel on the fence. I hope he doesn't fall off.

355
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 7: Not very comfortable, Yeah, he very comfortable.

356
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 2: Thanks Laurie, talk to you soon.

357
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 7: Thank you, great night, good night.

358
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 2: Okay, So the question is are you an optimist or

359
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 2: a pessimist? All right, we're just having fun. This is

360
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 2: one of those folks where there's no wrong answer. There's

361
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 2: probably no right answer. It's whatever answer you feel. Again,

362
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 2: think about it is if you see a glass, is

363
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 2: it half full? Is it half empty? And if if

364
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 2: you're viewed as half full, you're probably an optimist. If

365
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 2: you're viewed as half empty, you're probably a pessimist. I'm

366
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 2: too close to eleven thirty, so we're going to take

367
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 2: the eleven thirty news. I got Bernie, I got Ricardo.

371
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 2: thing to think about as we get to the weekend.

372
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 2: That's that's what this is all about. We're not here

Speaker 2: everyone can participate in the conversation. You're an optimist or

Speaker 9: I just I just wanted to clear something up that

387
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 9: several times you referred to the boats I use in

388
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 9: Venezuela cigarette boats. They're not cigarette boats. Well, cigarette boat,

389
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 9: A cigarette boat is typically north of a million dollars.

390
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 9: Oh good, there's no way there doing that. They're really

391
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 9: high end luxury speedboats.

392
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 2: Okay, so what do you think they're using? Just to clarify,

393
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 2: because my understanding is that but the administration. I don't

394
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 2: want to go back to the last hour, but I

395
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 2: just want to get it clarified that the boats that

396
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 2: they had could outrun the coast Guard cutters and the

397
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 2: speedboats speedboats. Okay, that's great. What is the speed I'm

398
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 2: just curious because I don't know. I'm not a boater. Okay,

399
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,719
Speaker 2: The only water I like to see is like standing

400
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: on the shore and look at the ocean. What are

401
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,719
Speaker 2: those speedboats? Do you think costs it? Are they one

402
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 2: hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand? Were if the cigarette if

403
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 2: the cigarette.

404
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 9: Boats are really depends on the engines that they use.

405
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 2: Okay, what's the rain, it's going to give me a ranger.

406
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 9: Now, it'd be like three and fifty horse powers?

407
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 2: Okay, and so one would that it was what are

408
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 2: we talking like one hundred thousand to three hundred thousand

409
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 2: or three hundred thousand to five hundred thousand. I'm just

410
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 2: trying to get a sense of it.

411
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 4: Three hundred five and okay, so not quite cigarette okay,

412
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 4: a little bit, but they can move.

413
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,719
Speaker 2: I assume that they can move pretty quickly.

414
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 9: Yeah, they would love to have cigarette boats. Yeah, I

415
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:29,640

Speaker 2: Yeah. I you know, that's one thing I have known

417
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,400
Speaker 2: desire because I know that everybody who I know who

418
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 2: has a boat loves the boat until they realize that

419
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 2: they have to fix the boat they get out of

420
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 2: the water. A lot of work, a lot of work.

478
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,199
Speaker 6: Well, you know what, I've been through a lot of

479
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 6: adversity in my life. I myself had a heart attack

480
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 6: four years ago. When I tell people that, they're like, oh,

481
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 6: that's horrible, and I said, no, that's the best thing

482
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 6: that ever happened to me. I quit smoking, I started

483
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 6: eating right. I lost sixty pounds and I feel well,

484
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,360
Speaker 6: and you know, and that's it's how you look at

485
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 6: it and what you do with it after, you know.

486
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 6: And I my son, he's going through someher intensive training

487
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 6: in the next week, and I talked to him today

488
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 6: and I says, hey, listen, Frank, you know what, if

489
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 6: you believe you can do it, you can't. If you

490
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 6: believe you can't do it, he won't won't. He says,

491
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 6: Just do it the best you can do, no matter

492
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 6: what it is. Try as hot as you can. No

493
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 6: matter what happens. I'm always going to be proud of you.

494
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:06,760

495
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 6: in work and stuff because don't don't get me wrong,

496
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 6: you know, we all have life issues and stuff that

497
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 6: bring you down. And for me, like work is a

498
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 6: great place to hide because I I'll just go in

499
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 6: and and I'm a joke. My wife says I'm not funny,

526
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 2: and you wouldn't tell me. But let him know that

527

538
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 10: Well, you're an optimist and I actually am. You know,

539
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 10: my psychiatrist tells me that I've got a Davy complex

540
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 10: and I'm always picking on giants and whenever I see

541
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 10: a giant, I really get eager to mess with him.

542
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 2: So if you're not talking about the San Francisco giants,

543
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 2: are you?

544
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 10: Oh no, no, Well you remember who Thomas pain was, right, Yes,

545
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 10: I do. Yeah, yeah, two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of America.

546
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 10: Thomas Paine was the guy that came up with all

547
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 10: the catchphrases that helped me.

548
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 2: Win the war. Give me, give me liberty, give me liberty,

549
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 2: give me death.

550
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 10: Yeah, absolutely here the United States of America. I mean,

551
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 10: the guy was phenomenal for what he was able to

552
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 10: pull together.

553
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 2: So he was so he I assume was an optimist

554
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 2: in your mind.

555
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, And you know who as a church mouse.

556
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 10: You know, if you look at his history, he was

557
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 10: just a poor kid that was lucky enough to become

558
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 10: a surveyor. When he was a surveyor that he hung

559
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 10: around with an enormously wealthy people who had land to survey,

560
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 10: and he was basically trained at the dinner table by

561
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 10: those people. And it became Ben Franklin sponsored him to

562
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 10: come to America and the rest is history, so you know,

563
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 10: and in Boston history. I believe he ended up living

564
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 10: to the end of his life down in upper New Upstate,

565
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 10: New York, but or north of New York City. But yeah,

566
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 10: I'm an optimist. I the bigger the problem, the more

567
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 10: I get eager I love puzzles, and you know when.

00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,160

580

Speaker 8: Seth Moulton and and you know you would talk to

616
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,280

617
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 8: from Bill, a Republican who was maybe going to vote

618
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 8: for him in the primary, and you kind of insinuated

619
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 8: maybe he should vote for with it Pressley maybe and

620
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 8: he could really you know, kind of.

621
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 4: Throw a monkey wrench and the warricks.

622
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 2: And well, yeah, you know, Democrats do that, the Republicans.

623
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 2: Republicans do it, the Democrats. There's a little bit of that.

624
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 2: And I think he was also talking about the candidates

625
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 2: who if they're running against someone whose name is John Smith,

626
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 2: and uh, they'll they'll try to find someone else named

627
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 2: John Smith and get them on the ballot to confuse voters.

628
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 2: It's it's an old political trick.

629
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 4: There was, sure, absolutely, but he did not go Bill

630
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 4: did not go for app at all. And he just

631
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 4: talked about he didn't want to be responsible for really

632
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 4: things going awry. And I think he was being a

633
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 4: little self deprecating because I totally was aligned with that.

634
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 8: And when I I mean, I just my optimism tank

635
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,479
Speaker 8: just rose up a few knots when I heard that,

636
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 8: and I just I sort of feel like in the

637
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 8: you know Churchill supposed I guess my view of the

638
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 8: world really is, you know that old Churchill thing where

639
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 8: supposedly said you can always count on America to do

640
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 8: the right thing after exercising every other possible option.

641
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 9: So this.

642
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 2: Lies, I know. It's just has some great lines. And

643
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 2: the other great line that that I've heard recently is

644
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 2: I forget I know the context in which was said,

645
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 2: but it was like they never missed an opportunity, to

646
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 2: miss an opportunity, right right?

647
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 4: I think that was the the Arab States.

648
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, yes, yes, you got it. I didn't want

649
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 2: to characterize it. But uh, the other one that I

650
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 2: like in this business that I've developed, often mistaken, but

651
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 2: never in doubt.

652
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, oh boy, that's a good one.

653
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,919
Speaker 2: I've used it. I've used that. That's a good one

654
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 2: to use. So you are going to acknowledge you're an optimist,

655
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 2: but probably not.

656
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm I'm I'm afraid.

657
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 2: I have to nothing to be ashamed of here, nothing

658
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 2: to be ashamed off. Hey Keay as always, thank you

660
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,600

00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 2: have our conversations, but I always enjoy our chats.

662

676
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:29,480

Speaker 4: Hey, Courtney, welcome, Hey, good evening.

678
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 11: I really appreciate it. I'm a Force Generation listener, so

679
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 11: we kind of go quite a way's back family wise

680
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 11: listening to.

681
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 2: Polus Generation WBZ listener. I love it.

682
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 11: Oh yes, oh yes, I think optimism is the way

683
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 11: to go, and I will kind of state that it's

684
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 11: you know, it's the style of thinking and we can

685
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 11: take what we go through as the learning and growth

686
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 11: sort of route or let it define you. I think

687
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 11: letting things kind of give you that ability to have

688
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 11: resiliency and prevail through stuff that small bumps through the

689
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 11: day doesn't define the day. And I guess don't let

690
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 11: your head get in the clouds and be too complacent.

691
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,920
Speaker 11: But kind of like the surrendy prayer, except the things

692
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 11: I cannot change, cards to change the things I can.

693
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,240
Speaker 4: And wasn't another difference.

694
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, my mother used to say to me as a kid,

695
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:33,760
Speaker 2: don't don't let yourself to get sky up or low down?

696
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 2: Was her friend get sky up a low down? So

697
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 2: I think that's kind of what you're saying, Courtney.

698
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 11: Yeah, hunt the good stuff. There's little parts of the

699
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 11: day that really do shine through despite the bumps and

700
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 11: obstacles that we, you know, go through.

701
