To take 64 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 2: this for what it's worth, ignore it if you want pow. 65 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 2: Oatmeal helps lower the blood blood pressure. Rich in beta glucon, 66 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 2: this soluble fiber slows the absorption of sugar, which can 67 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 2: lead to a more stable blood sugar levels and may 68 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 2: improve insulin resistance, a factor linked to high blood pressure. 69 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 2: Lowers cholesterol low.

There must be a way to make 75 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 2: it just not mushy. Okay, well, cookie and reverse engineering 76 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 2: half half. 77 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 3: I happened to like oat meal, Bradley for me that 78 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 3: I do. 79 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 2: You know what brand? 80 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 3: Uh, the Quaker And how do you cook it?

But you could put 84 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 3: some fruit in it, all right, and now would help 85 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 3: with the taste of it. But for me, now I 86 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 3: buy the Quaker instant with the little packets. They come 87 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 3: like ten packets in a box and you can get 88 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 3: your flavored apple and cinnamon, peaches and cream and it 89 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 3: tastes very good, no problem, all right, Well, you. 90 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 2: Know what you've inspired me because I want to I 91 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 2: do want to be healthy, and I don't have many 92 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 2: options in the morning.

I'm am an addict 96 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 2: for cheerios. 97 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 3: But because you can't do that all the time, I 98 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 3: eat cheerios. I like the honey nut cheerios. Okay, that's 99 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 3: my favorite. 100 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 2: Okay, good to know. 101 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 3: And it's very good.

Look, thank you very much, 105 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 2: Florence for inspiring me to move into an area that 106 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 2: I've been uncomfortable with, the oatmeal area. As just a 107 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 2: serial mention aside. I you know, I watch a lot 108 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 2: of news, but when I get too cranked up from 109 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 2: the news, I need to relax. And you know what, 110 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 2: I watch Seinfeld. And you know what they have in 111 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 2: Seinfeld in the back of his apartment in the cupboard, 112 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 2: as you know, it's all these rows. This box is 113 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 2: of cereal, and I always try to just figure out 114 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 2: what the brands of cereal are in the Seinfeld cupboard. 115 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 2: I'll even pause it to look kind of see if 116 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 2: I can see what's there. Usually I can make out 117 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 2: Captain crunch and maybe uh sugar sugar smacks or something. 118 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 2: I know something like that. I can see the cap'n crunch, 119 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 2: but I'm always, for some reason fascinated and I need 120 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 2: to know what does box a cereal? I'm sure they're 121 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 2: different all the time. Moving along real quickly to Patrick, 122 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 2: because you've been on the on the hole there for 123 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 2: a long time. Patrick and Charles down Hey, Patrick. 124 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 5: Burnt bacon. Burnt bacon is the answer. So that's the 125 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,679 Speaker 5: food that my father used to He used to burn bacon. 126 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 5: I don't know why he loved it burnt and uh, 127 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 5: I could never think of breakfast with my dad without 128 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 5: thinking of burnt bacon. 129 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 2: And so now you can't eat burn bacon, or you 130 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 2: have to eat burn bacon. 131 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 5: I can't eat bart well, I'm not. I would have 132 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 5: to have the reason to eat that burnt bacon unless 133 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 5: I was at a restaurant someone served me burnt bacon, 134 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,719 Speaker 5: because I'm certainly not going to burn the bacon. But 135 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 5: but he loved burnt bacon. I'll never understand. Then I 136 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 5: ended up finding out lots of people love burnt bacon 137 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 5: for some reason, and that I learned other people think 138 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 5: burn bacon is good for a hangover, but carbon or 139 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 5: something I don't know, but uh, no. 140 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 2: How burned. I'll just how burnt black? 141 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:07,719 Speaker 5: Burnt black? Yeah, black, almost like almost. 142 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 2: Like forest fire. Burnt. Are you there? Are you going? 143 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 5: They would crunch when you'd fight it, and you'd look 144 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 5: so forward a breakfast and everything else would be great, 145 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 5: and you'd be like, oh my god, it's burnt. You'd 146 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 5: have to talk to him every time because he loves 147 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 5: cooking breakfast and. 148 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 2: Then burnt bacon. 149 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 5: It's awful. Rest of it was good, but it gives 150 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 5: me good memories. 151 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 2: Now, So is that the only thing? Is there? Anything else? 152 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 2: Like fish or anything else. 153 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 5: That that was? That was pretty much it from for 154 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 5: food from my family. But uh, the one thing in 155 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 5: terms of what my family taught me. And I wonder 156 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 5: if this is common amongst people of my generation, which 157 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 5: a generation acts. But uh, my parents told me to 158 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 5: tell truth and they believed it. They believed it to 159 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 5: their core, like they were innocent human beings who told 160 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 5: can taught their children to tell the truth, to do 161 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 5: the right thing. The world's a good place. Always always 162 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 5: always tell the truth. And then I grew older and 163 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 5: I learned that you should almost never ever tell the 164 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 5: truth in the workplace or in college. Lady, it's the 165 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 5: exact opposite, though I don't know if our world has 166 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 5: changed to the last. 167 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 2: Of course it's changed. I mean, yes, absolutely, you had 168 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 2: honest abe who maybe wasn't totally honest, but at least 169 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 2: it was kind of a priority. And now the truth 170 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 2: is not a thing at all.

We we don't really 585 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,680 Speaker 6: go anywhere.

I'm guessing you love your dog, because 599 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:15,240 Speaker 2: everybody does. Would you did you hear my question earlier 600 00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 2: in the evening about would you clone your dog? 601 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,880 Speaker 6: I would absolutely not, absolutely not call my dog. 602 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:22,719 Speaker 2: No. 603 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,359 Speaker 6: She's one of a kind, all all my passion. One 604 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 6: of a kind. You know. They might be able to create, 605 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 6: you know, a body, but they can't create a soul. 606 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying. They just can't. There you go, 607 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 6: I gotta I got a question for you that I'm ready. 608 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 6: If if everything you wanted your parents, if everything you 609 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 6: thought your parents should have taught you didn't. My question 610 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,560 Speaker 6: to you is, if they did, would you have taken 611 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:54,200 Speaker 6: their advice? 612 00:35:54,960 --> 00:36:00,880 Speaker 2: Okay, well I didn't really completely get around to everything, 613 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 2: but uh, what I wish they'd done more was to 614 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:11,919 Speaker 2: make me understand the possibilities for life. They didn't make 615 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 2: me know. I never felt I could be a doctor. 616 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:17,839 Speaker 2: I didn't think that was in my grasp, but it was. 617 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,360 Speaker 2: You know, I never thought I could go to Harvard, 618 00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,279 Speaker 2: but I probably could have. You know, if they if 619 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 2: they said, you know what, you buckle down, you could 620 00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 2: probably go to the school where if you get into 621 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,400 Speaker 2: that school, you got it made for the rest of 622 00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:34,400 Speaker 2: your life. I didn't even and they didn't even encourage 623 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,400 Speaker 2: me to go to college. On the other hand, I 624 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:40,560 Speaker 2: will say this that at the end of the well 625 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:46,960 Speaker 2: so far, let me rephrase the net of of what 626 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 2: has happened. I'd like who I am. I like me, 627 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 2: and I liked me better than I used to because 628 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,839 Speaker 2: I learned and didn't get better. And if anything had 629 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 2: happened differently, like if I had go to Heart, I 630 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,400 Speaker 2: might not be the person that I am and I 631 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,160 Speaker 2: might not like myself so much if I'd go to Harvard. 632 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 2: There's no way I would have been on the radio, 633 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 2: because there was a certain sense, a group of circumstances 634 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 2: that happened. They gave me this career that I loved 635 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,240 Speaker 2: so much. I might have ended up being a doctor 636 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,320 Speaker 2: and hated it. I might have been a terrible doctor. 637 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 2: I might have been some financial guy. So I really 638 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:27,800 Speaker 2: don't want to complain about it too much, but I 639 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 2: do kind of wish that that they made me know 640 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 2: the possibilities because a lot of what I did I 641 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 2: did myself in spite of it. 642 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:37,799 Speaker 7: And right there you. 643 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,439 Speaker 6: Go, you still got a little taste of it because 644 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,520 Speaker 6: you work, you know, in the operating room, so you 645 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,319 Speaker 6: got a little taste of it, and then you you 646 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,920 Speaker 6: did what you did best. But a point that I 647 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,759 Speaker 6: want to make it most people don't really understand is 648 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 6: all parents are amateurs, so we can't expect them to 649 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,200 Speaker 6: be professionals. Like twenty something year olds having a baby 650 00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:02,520 Speaker 6: have no idea what's going on. So they're all amates. 651 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 6: And I think my parents did pretty good with me 652 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 6: as the amates, you know, teaching me everything that did go. 653 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,359 Speaker 2: To In all fairness to my parents, if you're looking 654 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 2: down listening, I mean they first of all this was 655 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,360 Speaker 2: a different time and they were exactly like the other parents, 656 00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,839 Speaker 2: and they didn't do anything bad at all. They never 657 00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:21,640 Speaker 2: did anything bad. 658 00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:29,239 Speaker 10: And there's one circumstance that accidentally made me made me 659 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,800 Speaker 10: really independent, and that was most parents these days, and 660 00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:36,640 Speaker 10: I don't think they need to, but they go to 661 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,399 Speaker 10: every sports game. 662 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:43,360 Speaker 2: But not only did my parents, they didn't go to well, 663 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 2: they didn't give me a ride back from stuff I 664 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,480 Speaker 2: did at high school because high school was ten miles away. 665 00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:50,960 Speaker 2: So if I wanted to go to the high school 666 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,000 Speaker 2: football game or the high school dance, I had a 667 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,200 Speaker 2: hitchhike home in high school in the night, in the winter, 668 00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 2: et cetera. And a lot of people would think that 669 00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 2: was be mean parenting. However, as a result, I just 670 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:08,799 Speaker 2: don't depend on people to do stuff for me. I 671 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 2: just gotta It never occurs to me to ask for 672 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,760 Speaker 2: a ride anywhere else walk places. Now. I'd even still hitchhike, 673 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,879 Speaker 2: believe it or not. In some places that I don't, 674 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,920 Speaker 2: I'll if nobody else will go, I'll go by myself. 675 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 2: And that's always been probably real helpful to me. And 676 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,120 Speaker 2: it's probably an accidental result of my parents not wanting 677 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,839 Speaker 2: to get them, put their shoes on and drive ten 678 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 2: miles to Rochester and ten miles back to pick me 679 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 2: up at the game. So at the time it was 680 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,360 Speaker 2: a bummer, but it was one of those if it 681 00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:45,080 Speaker 2: doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger kind of things. 682 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:49,399 Speaker 2: And now you grow up. Yeah, and I think there's 683 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 2: a happy medium somewhere. And I feel like I'm not 684 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 2: an expert, I'm not a parent, but parents now feel 685 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 2: like if they don't go and view every one of 686 00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 2: every child's sporting events, that they're somehow negligent parents. And 687 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 2: I don't think you need to do that, parents, because 688 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,400 Speaker 2: your kids. The purpose of those sports is not for 689 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 2: your kids to be well to please you. The purpose 690 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,520 Speaker 2: of that so that your kids can get along in 691 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:21,319 Speaker 2: the world and compete with people that are old their 692 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:25,399 Speaker 2: own age and with strangers, not so that they can 693 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,520 Speaker 2: look over and see mommy and daddy looking and clapping away. 694 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:35,960 Speaker 2: So in my non expert advice to parents is, especially 695 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:37,279 Speaker 2: if they could all do it at the same time, 696 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:41,000 Speaker 2: is just say no to go into every one of 697 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,279 Speaker 2: those games. Man, Because you've got three kids and they're 698 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,480 Speaker 2: in two sports each, that's a lot of games. And 699 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 2: I think parents deserve a life. There I said it, 700 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,320 Speaker 2: But of course again, in the context of the times, 701 00:40:56,560 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 2: you'd probably get a note from your you know, the school, 702 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,080 Speaker 2: why aren't you coming to Junior's games. I love talking 703 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:05,960 Speaker 2: to you, Doug. He as you can tell. The time's up, 704 00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,400 Speaker 2: I gotta say goodbye. Let me tell you, folks, I 705 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,839 Speaker 2: love coming in here and I love talking to you. 706 00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:16,480 Speaker 2: It's a great community. Dan has a great community here, 707 00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:19,840 Speaker 2: and I'm only too happy to be a very small 708 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:23,640 Speaker 2: part of it. I'll be back around Thanksgiving, and then 709 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,600 Speaker 2: a big chunk of time towards the end of December 710 00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,279 Speaker 2: and in the early January. So I hope to be 711 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 2: speaking with you soon. I hope you'll call when I'm 712 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 2: on It's WBZ.
