By the way, before we 3 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 2: get to our guest here at the top of the 4 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:17,200 Speaker 2: ten o'clock hour, some have written to me about whether 5 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 2: or not we're going to do the annual Nightside Charity combine. 6 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 2: Marita and I are thinking about that, and I will 7 00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 2: make an announcement on that tomorrow night. Officially, if we 8 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:34,279 Speaker 2: do it, people who want to represent a charity are 9 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 2: the only people we want to hear from. I don't 10 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,279 Speaker 2: want to hear from people who are going to say, 11 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,279 Speaker 2: there's a wonderful charity that i'd like you to talk to, 12 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 2: Why don't you give them a call? We don't do that, 13 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,160 Speaker 2: So just be advised that if you hear the announcement 14 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 2: tomorrow night, we're not looking for suggestions. We're looking for 15 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 2: people who want to represent charities during our final broadcast 16 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 2: of the year, which I believe is going to be Tuesday, 17 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 2: December twenty third. But we'll make an announcement about that 18 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 2: tomorrow night, and I hope that those of you who 19 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 2: are involved, either as directors or executive directors or volunteers 20 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 2: for charities, either can get people.

Would like to do that again, 23 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 2: but last year was an immense amount of work because 24 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 2: too many people were calling saying, well, I know of 25 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 2: a charity which would be wonderful, and here's the suggestion. 26 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 2: But we're going to eliminate any suggestions at all. You 27 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 2: send us the suggestion, we will ignore it.

Joining me now 33 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 2: is Stay Representative, David Lynsky Representative. Welcome back to Nightside. 34 00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 2: How are you, sir. 35 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 3: I'm doing fine and it is always a pleasure to 36 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 3: visit with my friend. 37 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 2: Dan Ray absolutely and David is a Democrat. Represents Natick. 38 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 2: What other do you have? You must have some other. 39 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 3: Community or they also represent Whaland. Natick and Whalen two 40 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 3: great towns in Metro West. 41 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 2: Okay, well, that's so you represent the entirety of Natick 42 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 2: and Whalen. That's good. A lot of state reps, as 43 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 2: you know, end up representing multiple communities, and they might 44 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 2: represent only part of some of the community. So if 45 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 2: you're a listener in Natick or Whaland you were about 46 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 2: to hear from your state representative Dave Lynsky we talked 47 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 2: earlier this afternoon, and you are concerned about the fact 48 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 2: that there's only two days during the calendar year, Christmas 49 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 2: and Thanksgiving, when all sorts of liquor stores, packaged stores 50 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,399 Speaker 2: are closed, so people cannot go out and buy themselves 51 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 2: a six pack or a bottle of wine. They have 52 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 2: to think in advance in terms of both Thanksgiving and Christmas. 53 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 2: And if you're driving to someone's house and you'd like 54 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 2: to have a bottle of wine and as a gift 55 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 2: or as a walking in the door present, you're not 56 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 2: going to be able to do that in Massachusetts. And 57 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 2: you have how long have you filed legislation to try 58 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 2: to change that. 59 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 3: I've been trying to change this for four or five 60 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 3: years now, Dan, And it's really about consumer choice and 61 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 3: consumer convenience. Now, imagine, if you will, two days from now, 62 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,679 Speaker 3: we're going to have a great turkey dinner on Thanksgiving. 63 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 3: You know, you're going to go to a friend's house 64 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 3: or a relative's house, and they call you up and 65 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 3: you say, hey, on your way, could you pick up 66 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 3: a bottle of wine. We're running a little short. And 67 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 3: so you go buy the convenience store or the package 68 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 3: as we call it here in Massachusetts, and they're closed 69 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 3: because you can't buy liquor in Massachusetts because of the 70 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 3: antiquated Blue lag that date back to the sixteen hundreds. 71 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 3: You know, look, nobody is going to force anybody to drink. 72 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 3: Nobody's going to force anybody to open their store on 73 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 3: Thanksgiving or Christmas if you want to. But come on, 74 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 3: we're not living in the sixteen hundreds anymore. You know. 75 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 3: It was only a few years ago that we allowed 76 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 3: liquor seals on Sunday. Massachusetts is an outlier when it 77 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 3: comes to the rest of the country. You know, these 78 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 3: blue laws were written by Pilgrims and Puritans back in 79 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 3: the sixteen hundreds in a very different time period when 80 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 3: you know, they were concerned about all kinds of things. 81 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 3: They called alcohol the devil's drink. Well, deven run a 82 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 3: whole lot of Puritans and pilgrims running around Massachusetts lately. 83 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 2: Well, I guess the one of the arguments, and I 84 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 2: think I know what your answer is is that one 85 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 2: of the arguments is that, hey, a lot of people 86 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 2: don't want to work on Thanksgiving and they prefer to 87 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 2: spend some time with their family. 88 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 3: And I totally, I totally get that, Dan, And so 89 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,679 Speaker 3: you know what my answer to that is, don't open 90 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 3: the store. I mean, it's it's simple, you know, but 91 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 3: the reality is a lot of convenience stores and small markets. 92 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 3: We've got a great one here in Natick called called 93 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 3: Tillian Selby's Bacon Street Farm. They're open at least in 94 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 3: the morning on Thanksgiving Day and they're selling food. You know, 95 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 3: people come in, they get the last minute thing for 96 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 3: their for their Thanksgiving table that they want to gobble down, 97 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 3: and you know, they see the bottle of wine there, 98 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 3: but they're not allowed to sell it or beer or lookout, 99 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 3: farm cider from Natick. So you can't do it. 100 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 2: So I'm sure you've talked to the leadership about this, 101 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 2: and of course you got to get it both through 102 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 2: the scent the House, your chamber and the Senate. If 103 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 2: you're going to change it, our liquor stores. And you 104 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 2: probably know this, but I hate to ask, and never 105 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 2: is a lawyer like to ask a question of another 106 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 2: lawyer that I don't that I'm not sure they know. 107 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 2: But I'll make an exception. Our liquor stores open in 108 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 2: surrounding states. 109 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 3: Take absolutely, absolutely they are, or at least if they 110 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 3: if they're full liquor stores or we as I said, 111 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 3: we call them packis here in massa jusets because I'm 112 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 3: a native Bostonian. If they're not open, at least you 113 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 3: can go to the convenience store and buy Darren Watt. 114 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 3: You know, Massachusetts. Wait, our liquor laws aren't antiquated here 115 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 3: in so many different ways. 116 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 2: So what I started asking the question, what do you 117 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 2: think the leadership? Is this an issue? The leadership is 118 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 2: going to get behind because you and I, well. 119 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 3: I'm working on it. I'm working on it. Dan. You know, 120 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,720 Speaker 3: the reality here is is Massachusetts has changed. You know 121 00:06:55,080 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 3: we we we don't. The Sunday isn't the Sabbath anymore 122 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 3: in uh in Massachusetts. And people's lifestyles have changed. They 123 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 3: do their grocery shopping on Sunday, and thankfully now for 124 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 3: at least for most of the day you can. You 125 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 3: can pick up the six pack of beer or the 126 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 3: bottle of wine in the grocery store on a Sunday. 127 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 3: You couldn't do that when I first started in the legislature. 128 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 3: So let's just you know, call Thanksgiving and Christmas like 129 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 3: any other day of the year. Look, you know, you know, 130 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 3: people if they don't want to buy liquor, if it's 131 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 3: against their religion, so be it. Absolutely they have a 132 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 3: right to do that. I support it. But this is 133 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 3: about about freedom of choice, and uh, this is where 134 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 3: my libertarian streak comes in. 135 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 2: Okay, So what about what about the argument of come on, 136 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 2: if you're an adult and you enjoy drinking at some point, uh, 137 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 2: you know, Thanksgivings coming, I mean, it doesn't sneak up 138 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 2: on you by surprise, and Christmas too. Uh, there's plenty 139 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 2: of opportunity in the days and the week ahead to 140 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 2: stock up and get whatever you want. What about that. 141 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 3: Argument, Well, because people are busy, that's the reality. And 142 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 3: you know sometimes the same way that you might forget 143 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 3: to bring that bottle of wine, you might forget the 144 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,559 Speaker 3: pumpkin pie, or you might forget the extra cranberry sauce. 145 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 3: Or the gravy, So you have to run to the 146 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 3: convenience store to pick that up. I can't think of 147 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 3: anybody who hasn't been in that situation on a holiday 148 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 3: to make that run. Maybe you need, you know, half 149 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 3: and half creamer or something. You know, if the if 150 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 3: the wine is there in the store, what's the harm 151 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 3: in picking up the bottle of wine as well? 152 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 2: All right, well, Representative, this is we'll follow a will 153 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 2: follow your action on this one, and if it gets serious, 154 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 2: we'll have to bring you in and we'll find someone 155 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 2: to debate you on it, and we'll have that Dan. 156 00:08:58,600 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 3: And you know, I love a good. 157 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 2: I know that that is for certain. We've had more 158 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 2: than a few of them. Thanks Representative. Happy Thanksgiving to 159 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 2: you and. 160 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 3: Yours, Happy Thanksgiving to everybody out there. 161 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 2: All right, thanks Dave, Dave Lynskey, And okay, here's what 162 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 2: we want to do for this hour and maybe even 163 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 2: a little longer. Thanksgiving is now two days away, and 164 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 2: you know, I'm sure that there's been a lot of 165 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 2: comment and controversy over and I think part of it 166 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 2: is because Donald Trump is president. Over what are the 167 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 2: costs of a Thanksgiving dinner? And all of that and 168 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 2: as I read a lot of these stories in October 169 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 2: and November, I decided to look and do a little 170 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 2: bit of research, and I actually found I'm not going 171 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 2: to tell you, well, I will tell you it is. 172 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 2: It was an NPR who they wrote a piece, big 173 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 2: piece on November seventeenth, Americans could see a big sticker 174 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 2: shock for Thanksgiving turkeys this year. That was the piece 175 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 2: that they wrote, well earlier this week. Seven days later, 176 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 2: on November twenty fourth, the lead story, well, the lead 177 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,559 Speaker 2: paragraph of a story was here's something to be thankful 178 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 2: for the price of turkey and stuffing is down this time. 179 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 2: They should have said the price of turkey and stuffing down, 180 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 2: I guess because it really is plural, but the price 181 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 2: of turkey and stuffing is down from this time last year. So, 182 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 2: within a matter of seven days, this very reliable news 183 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 2: source went from big sticker shock to the price being down. 184 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 2: I want to find out from you. Do you think, 185 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 2: I'm sure many of you listened to news reports on television, 186 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 2: on radio, and in newspapers. Do you think that there 187 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 2: were people out there in my business who were overplaying 188 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 2: this story. I think that the statistics now suggest that 189 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 2: the cost of a you know, an average Thanksgiving dinner 190 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 2: are it's going to be a little down this year. 191 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 2: I think the best number that I saw was if 192 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 2: you had a group of people for ten that the 193 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 2: food put aside the alcohol. But if the food would 194 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 2: run about I guess fifty two dollars or something like that, 195 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 2: you know, for you know, per person. We're a year 196 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 2: ago it would have run about fifty five dollars for 197 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 2: a table of ten. So it's down about five percent, 198 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 2: which is not a whole huge amount of money. But 199 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 2: I think that that inflation seems to be under control, 200 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 2: the dock market seems to be doing well. I think 201 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 2: that there's a lot of hope out there. We're going 202 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,400 Speaker 2: into the Christmas season. I had a retailerround last night 203 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 2: who and a story on last night that this year, 204 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 2: Americans cumulatively are expected to spend for the first time 205 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 2: in our history, over a trillion dollars on Chris on 206 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 2: the holiday season. Again, I'm not somebody who wants the 207 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 2: people spend like a drunken salor, but look, we only 208 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 2: have so many years on this orbit, on this orb, 209 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 2: you might as well enjoy it. I mean, we could 210 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 2: sit at home all alone and and eat peanut butter 211 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 2: and jelly sandwiches and save a few bucks. But I 212 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,440 Speaker 2: don't think that's what Americans are about. So I want 213 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 2: to hear from you. Do you think that that that 214 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 2: story maybe got played a little too much? I think 215 00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 2: it really did. I gotta be honest with you, because 216 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 2: I did. And see you know, gas prices are down 217 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 2: across the country. Uh. And by the way, the the 218 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 2: price of the so called Thanksgiving meal, Uh, it differs 219 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 2: from a section of the country. In some sections of 220 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 2: the country, it's actually less by region. I'll break that 221 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 2: down for you, and I want you to participate in 222 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 2: the conversation. Six one seven, four ten thirty six one 223 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 2: seven nine three thirty coming right back after Nightside, right 224 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 2: after this break on Nightside. 225 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: It's night Side with Boston's news Radio. 226 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 2: All right, so we're talking about you know, Thanksgiving. Look, 227 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 2: it's it's probably in my opinion, I know in your opinion, 228 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 2: it's the best holiday of the year because it revolves 229 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 2: around football, fun, family. There's there's no gift, there's no 230 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 2: it's not it doesn't have the anticipation of Christmas. It's 231 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 2: not the excesses of New Year's Eve. It is my 232 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 2: favorite holiday. I hope it's one of yours as well. 233 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 2: And it's not an expensive holiday. Now again, different people. 234 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 2: There are people in this country who end up going 235 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,840 Speaker 2: to the Pine Street in to get a Thanksgiving meal, 236 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 2: and they're not the only one. We can't forget them. 237 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 2: But at the same time, I do think that the 238 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 2: media had a take on this that was, in my opinion, 239 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 2: I'm justified. Let me go to phone calls, see what 240 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 2: people have to say. The only lines that are open 241 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 2: are the six one, seven, four, ten thirty lines. Uh, 242 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 2: six months, seven nine, three one ten thirty is full 243 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 2: six one, seven four to ten thirty dialing. Now we'll 244 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 2: get you on a round the country. The Northeast and 245 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 2: California are the most expensive, uh. Less expensive in the South, 246 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 2: from Virginia all the way down through Texas. UH. And 247 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 2: in the upper Midwest what I would call the Midwest, 248 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 2: I guess, including states like Pennsylvania in Ohio, though I 249 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 2: think Pennsylvania might actually be considered I'm I'm looking how 250 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 2: they split the map up. Well, we go the gene 251 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 2: and averagene. Your thoughts on Thanksgiving?

Seven dollars for one package. 297 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 2: Okay, So here's my question. Here's my question.

They will ruin the 335 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 6: family dinner, they will ruin the family's life for one 336 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 6: whole day, and then they abuse women too. Helcohol is 337 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 6: a problem on the holidays. We don't want it sold 338 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 6: in the stores, to be honest. 339 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 2: Well, some people don't. 340 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 6: Some people don't, and we'll reasoning a lot of people 341 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 6: don't want it around like that is because there were 342 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 6: some people that can't stop. 343 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 2: They'll, I understand that, but I'm just saying that there's 344 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 2: there's two sides to every coin as far as that. 345 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 6: But you know, plan ahead and pick it up, keep 346 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 6: some in the storage whatever. 347 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 2: Right. But but then you're still going to have those 348 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 2: people who will abuse alcohol, and they'll put a couple 349 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 2: of bets in on a football game and they'll get 350 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 2: pretty ugly. So that's the problem we deal with. There 351 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 2: are people, there are people in our society like that 352 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 2: who unfortunately and you know and some we've all had them, 353 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 2: I guess in our families at one point. Thank you, Jean, 354 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 2: appreciate you. 355 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,199 Speaker 6: I have a nice next saving Thank you, Thanksgiving to. 356 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 2: You and yours as well. Be right back on nights Side. 357 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 2: We're about costs. It's more cost on groceries as well, 358 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,239 Speaker 2: but also with the point of view on Thanksgiving six 359 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 2: one seven, two thirty, six one seven, nine thirty. Coming 360 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 2: right back on night Side. 361 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: It's Nightside with Dan Ray on wb Boston's news radio. 362 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 2: By the way, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation, 363 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 2: the fortieth annual Thanksgiving Dinner Survey said that the traditional 364 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 2: average cost of a Thanksgiving staples meal for ten works 365 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 2: open to about five dollars and fifty two cents a person, 366 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 2: five percent decrease from a year ago. The high point 367 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 2: was sixty four six dollars and forty cents a person 368 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 2: back in twenty twenty two when inflation was roaring. Now again, 369 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 2: that's in the wake of COVID. President Trump, I think 370 00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 2: is on is making the points he talked about Thanksgiving, 371 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 2: but he's also talked about inflation generally and gas prices. 372 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 2: This is President Trump earlier this month. 373 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 7: Inflation is way down. The biggest thing is inflation. The 374 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 7: second biggest thing is energy. Energy is way down. And 375 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 7: what's also down gasoling. Also the biggest thing is inflation, 376 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 7: and it's way down. The reason I don't want to 377 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 7: talk about affordability is because everybody knows that it's far 378 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 7: less expensive under Trump than it was under Sleepy Joe 379 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 7: Biders and the prices that we dide. 380 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 2: He will be eventually talking about affordability because that's what 381 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 2: the issue that the Democrats were very successful on in 382 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 2: the gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey. And energy 383 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 2: prices are not down. Look at your energy bills in Massachusetts. 384 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 2: Now across the country, it does vary on Thanksgiving, so 385 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 2: out west it's a for the average. Again, these are 386 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 2: meals for ten people, so out west it's a sixty 387 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 2: six dollars and seventeen cents per person. Here in New 388 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 2: England and New York it's sixty six dollars and eight cents. 389 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 2: But down south it's just five dollars a person. And 390 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 2: in the upper in the Midwest, the Upper Midwest it's 391 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 2: five dollars and forty three cents, so it varies from 392 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 2: region region, but it's not something that is beyond the 393 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 2: reach of most Americans. And that was the story that 394 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 2: the media was pumping just a couple of weeks ago. 395 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 2: Bernie in New Hampshire, Burnie next on Nightside. 396 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 8: Welcome, Hey, Dan, how are we going tonight? 397 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 2: I'm doing just great, sir.

And Thanksgiving is a 481 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 4: special holiday, but it's just as special as Easter. I 482 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,360 Speaker 4: don't know if you know, Greek Easter is like Thanksgiving 483 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 4: on steroids. 484 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,439 Speaker 2: I'm a little familiar with Greek Easter. I've had friends 485 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 2: who are of your nationality, and it's a big deal. Generally, 486 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,680 Speaker 2: it's a week after you know, Easter that we celebrate here. 487 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 4: So that's at least town. Yeah, once every four years. 488 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 4: It's on the same. 489 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 2: So let me ask you this in terms of the 490 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 2: question of the night, how are you doing if you're 491 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 2: the shopper in your family? What what? What do you 492 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 2: see in at grocery stores? I mean I I bounce 493 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 2: between Market Basket, Roach Brothers, and Shaws, And there's a 494 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 2: huge difference between those three. Uh three. One is more convenient, 495 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 2: one is less expensive, and one depending upon what I want. 496 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 2: I trust you know their fish and their and their 497 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 2: beef products and Roach Brothers. It's it's a little high end, 498 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 2: but it's great quality. So that's the way I shop. 499 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 4: I'm a market basket guy. I'll put it this way. 500 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,359 Speaker 4: You know, as as an analogy, you know, going to 501 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 4: you Mask versus going to Harvard, that's what you do 502 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 4: if you went to Market Basket versus Roach Brothers. Okay, 503 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,679 Speaker 4: you get the same education basically, Uh but you know, 504 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:51,239 Speaker 4: a fraction of the cough. And I like market Basket because, uh, 505 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 4: you know, they have a lot of registers open. They 506 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 4: don't have any you know, self check, and you know 507 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 4: they get you in and out. And also I find 508 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,639 Speaker 4: that I park my shopping cart in uh, you know, 509 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 4: in a safe area, and I go up and down 510 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 4: the aisles because it's mayhem, you know, around around this time. 511 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 4: You know people. 512 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 2: Yep. No, that's a good tip as well, Alex, as 513 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 2: I employ some of those tactics as well. If I 514 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 2: know that there's something that just a little ways down 515 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 2: the aisle, leave the cart, move, move like a an 516 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 2: NFL running back down the aisle, get that one item 517 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 2: that you want, and get back to your card and 518 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 2: move on to another another part of the store. Simple, yeah, 519 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 2: noble as that I always put. 520 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, I was bring a refrigerated that well, you know, 521 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 4: a n ice bag so that I put my pershables 522 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 4: in there because you know, even. 523 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 2: Though well I haven't done that. I get home quickly, 524 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 2: quickly enough, Alex, hope you and you uys have a 525 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 2: great Thanksgiving with your family in Wellesley. Thank you so 526 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 2: much for calling. Thanks by all right, take it, take 527 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 2: it easy, good night. Six one, seven, two, five, four 528 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 2: ten thirty one line there six one seven, nine thirty. 529 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 2: I guess what I'm trying to get from you is, 530 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 2: did you follow this a month ago where they were 531 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 2: all of these horrific stories about how the price of 532 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 2: a Thanksgiving meal was going to be going up, and 533 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 2: it just seemed as if I don't know, there was 534 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 2: some news outlets that wanted to put a you know, 535 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 2: basically put a little bit of a downer on Thanksgiving, 536 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 2: which again is my favorite holiday of the year. I 537 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 2: didn't like that approach. And now there's stories coming that 538 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 2: I think are being are very accurate that the cost 539 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 2: of Thanksgiving dinner this year for most families is going 540 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 2: to be lower. Now, there were some families who Katie 541 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 2: Bardan or whatever they want, you know, more champagne. That's 542 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 2: a different story. But the average family I think is 543 00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 2: going to pay less for Thanksgiving. Won't be a lot less, 544 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 2: but it to be less. I think that the trips 545 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 2: to as you're taking. Many of you probably are listening 546 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 2: right now. If you're listening and want to tell me 547 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 2: where you're whereabouts the Turretpike, you are, where you're heading. 548 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 2: Bernie says he'll be heading out of New Hampshire around midnight. 549 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 2: Let's let's let's celebrate the holiday here a little bit. 550 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 2: Six one seven, uh, and I am I am not 551 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 2: in the mood to fight. I'd love to hear from 552 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 2: if you think that that the economy is just going 553 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 2: into tank. Look at the stock market today, Not that 554 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 2: that is the only thing that you should look at, 555 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 2: but it certainly is an indicator of where we might 556 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 2: be going. And uh, there was an interesting article in 557 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 2: the Globe today. One of the financial writers was essentially 558 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 2: saying that he probably is wrong, was wrong on tariffs. 559 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 2: He back in April was saying that this is to 560 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 2: cost us greatly. And he said that he looks like 561 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 2: he's going to lose a bet on that. I'll talk 562 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 2: about that as well. Only line six, one seven, fill 563 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 2: him up. Be right back on night Side. 564 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,720 Speaker 1: You're on night Side with Dan Ray.

Go right, here's a deal, 621 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,280 Speaker 5: Go right ahead, here's a deal. The Thanksgiving things flaying. 622 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,320 Speaker 13: I just don't know why you would quote MPR, because 623 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,560 Speaker 13: anything to do with MPR was against Trump. 624 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 5: But anyway, I'm. 625 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:24,440 Speaker 2: Calling hold on the point I was making, Michael, and 626 00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 2: I'm sure you caught it, but let me make sure 627 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:30,000 Speaker 2: of those who didn't hear it. I found this one 628 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 2: article from the seventeenth of November from a week ago, 629 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 2: which basically said that they were going to be sticker shock. 630 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 2: I think that was the word that they used, stick 631 00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,719 Speaker 2: a shock at Thanksgiving. And then a week later they 632 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 2: were saying, well, there's a very pleasant surprise. The cost 633 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:53,800 Speaker 2: of Thanksgiving has declined. It says cooking Thanksgiving has dinner 634 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 2: has declined. So I just thought it was interesting that 635 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 2: they go from a headline that says on the seventeenth 636 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 2: about the economy Americans could see a big sticker shock 637 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 2: for Thanksgiving turkeys this year, and a week later earlier 638 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 2: this week, the twenty fourth, the price of turkey and 639 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,839 Speaker 2: stuffing is down for this from this time last year. 640 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 2: Now they were either right or wrong. What fun of them? 641 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 2: And then the other but Gouine. I wasn't giving them 642 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 2: a big compliment on that one. I think they got 643 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:22,959 Speaker 2: it wrong, right. 644 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 13: Good point. 645 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:25,799 Speaker 5: Okay, now I get it, But I want to get 646 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 5: back to the Blue Laws. 647 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 13: Sure, I'm not interested if they want to ban alcohol 648 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:36,720 Speaker 13: sales on Christmas Thanksgiving, but I got to tell you, 649 00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 13: you know it, and I know it, Sunday was a 650 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,919 Speaker 13: sacred day. In fact, I'm sitting in the parking lot. 651 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,480 Speaker 13: Now I had to pull over, and. 652 00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:47,359 Speaker 5: You could even bring a kid out to teach them 653 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 5: how to drive on Sunday in the packing lot. 654 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:51,760 Speaker 3: Of them all remember. 655 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 2: That, absolutely, we all did that. 656 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 5: I don't know why they want to buy alcohol on 657 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 5: Sunday because that made you if you were a young kid. 658 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 4: See, I wonder. 659 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:07,280 Speaker 5: I didn't know why they had the Blue Laws, and uh, 660 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 5: you know yeah. The biggest thing that would bother me 661 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 5: is if I was working in quotations, working on my car, 662 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 5: because I never know what I'm doing. I could go 663 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 5: to Arizona and get a pot. 664 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:24,440 Speaker 2: But well, the times were changing and it's still alcohol 665 00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 2: and liquor stores or packet stores whatever you want to 666 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 2: call them, are not open on Thanksgiving and they're not 667 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 2: open on Christmas. Uh. And I'm inclined to say let's 668 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,439 Speaker 2: keep it that way. But we did have the state 669 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 2: representative on and you know what, maybe a year from 670 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,640 Speaker 2: now we'll have a big debate about it. We'll see. 671 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 5: Well, he thinks it's funny, he thinks no big deal. 672 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 5: But the other thing is I left come on and 673 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:50,280 Speaker 5: Farms a little while ago. They sell Next Morning pills 674 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 5: for women right on the right, on the near the register, 675 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,759 Speaker 5: and also the men's pills for you know why, right 676 00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 5: on the register.

Uh and uh again, we 681 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,280 Speaker 2: live in a society where there's a lot of freedom. Uh, 682 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,720 Speaker 2: and some people like yourself probably think there's too much freedom. 683 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,840 Speaker 2: I got to get one more inb here before the break, 684 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:23,360 Speaker 2: my buddy. 685 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,440 Speaker 3: We'll talk to Thanksgiving. 686 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 2: Happy Thanksgiving you, Michael, good night.
