1 00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: It's night Side with Dan Ray. I'm telling you Beasy 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: Boxton's Beach Radio. 3 00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 2: Well, look at that eleven o six and forty two seconds. 4 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,879 Speaker 2: I know I don't need to say the forty two seconds, 5 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 2: but my point is, this is the last hour of 6 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 2: this year, twenty twenty five. Who among you boomers thought 7 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 2: you would make it this far? Remember the phrase never 8 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 2: trust anyone over thirty. Wasn't that the phrase, yeah, look 9 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 2: at you now, never trust anyone over eighty, now right? 10 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 2: I know that by the way open lines talk about anything, 11 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 2: you're like six one, seven, two, five, four, ten thirty. 12 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,639 Speaker 2: And I know that it can sound cliche to talk 13 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 2: about New Year's resolutions. On the other hand, they're a 14 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 2: real thing. And I actually it has nothing to do 15 00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 2: with New Year's but I would love to try a 16 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 2: new lifestyle and quit drinking, like, not drink at all. 17 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 2: I don't drink crazy amounts. I drink what I figure 18 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 2: is a normal amount. But I would I think it'd 19 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 2: be interesting to just not drink it all. What's that lifestyle? 20 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 3: Like? 21 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: There's one big, big drawback with quitting drinking, and that 22 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 2: is you can't drink and you know, so it's fun. Yeah, Hey, 23 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 2: let's have a beer. It's part of so it's part 24 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 2: of life, and it would take a big turnaround to 25 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 2: not do that. I'm going to tell you though, I 26 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 2: am getting hypnotized to try it. I mean a little 27 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 2: bit of a buying because I might have to postpone 28 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 2: my hypnosis to try it, to quit drinking because I 29 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 2: want to, really, because I want to lose weight. There's 30 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 2: no way I'm going to lose weight if I still 31 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 2: drink beer, because I've I eat tremendously. You have no 32 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 2: idea how healthfully I eat, like broccoli, sardines, salmon, salads. 33 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 2: It couldn't be any more healthy. Yet dropping pounds is difficult, 34 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 2: so it's got to be Hey, at your age, it's 35 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 2: probably about the beer, and I don't drink that much 36 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 2: beer anyway, I'd like to. I think i'd like to 37 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 2: try that non drinking lifestyle, just to see what it's like. 38 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 2: People do it and they seem fine. Think of the 39 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: money saved and think of the pounds that will drop off. 40 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 2: I just think it's time for me to get a 41 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 2: little healthier, and losing weight would be the way to 42 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 2: do that, and probably not drinking would be that. Because 43 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 2: I really do it. I know, maybe not, because I 44 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 2: do enjoy Hey, let's go out and have a beer. 45 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 2: I have two beers sometimes me and that's it. I 46 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 2: never get drunk. I don't like getting drunk. I don't 47 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 2: like a headache. I don't like to be drunk. I 48 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 2: just like the slight edge off and the ritual of 49 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 2: opening your beer and talking with friends in a cool 50 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 2: bar like Brendan be and NJP or or Granny O'Malley's 51 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 2: on Harvard EV. We'll see. Now. The reason I'm getting 52 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 2: hypnotized is that I did quit smoking from hypnosis. And 53 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 2: really what this is coming down to is we're going 54 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 2: to have a hypnotist on tomorrow night. But let me 55 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 2: tell you about hypnosis and quitting things. Well, it works, 56 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 2: it can work. It worked for me. I smoked, and 57 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 2: I tried, actually many New Year's Eves to quit. I 58 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 2: remember crumpling up a package, throwing it in the trash, 59 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 2: and then minutes later going back in the trash and 60 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 2: getting a cigarette. So that's no good. But one day, 61 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 2: when I was working at WBCN, a hypnotist came in. 62 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 2: Barry was his name. He was unbelievably great. He he 63 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 2: was a hypnotist that he would hypnotize air traffic controllers 64 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 2: so they would relax and focus military people. I think 65 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 2: he was the best. And in a local town they 66 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 2: had a group session. There might have been twenty people 67 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 2: there in a high school classroom, and I went. I 68 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 2: didn't expect it to work at all, and he put 69 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 2: us under three times sort of under, you know, he 70 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 2: really he was really the usual relax and think about this, 71 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 2: thank you going down. I'm not going to do it, 72 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 2: because what if you've got hypnotized right now, I'd be 73 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 2: on the hook for it, So I'm not going to 74 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 2: do it. But it worked. When I left the hypnosis, 75 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 2: I didn't feel any differently. They did say don't drink 76 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 2: anything for a month because because alcohol will diminish whatever 77 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 2: we installed in you. And you know what, I never 78 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: had another cigarette. Can you believe it? And I know 79 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 2: how impossible that is. Some people say it's harder to 80 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 2: quit cigarettes than heroin. It is brutal. I'd tried so 81 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 2: many times before I walked away. Didn't feel any different, 82 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 2: but never had another cigarette ever, and no cravings. Just 83 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 2: forget all about it, follow the rules. I went back 84 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 2: for a refresher course. Forgot all about it. If you 85 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 2: wanted to work, if you believe it, it can work. 86 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 1: Now. 87 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 2: One thing is it's kind of an all or nothing situation. 88 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 2: You can't get hypnotized to eat less because you can't 89 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 2: stop eating altogether. And it's a slippery slope. You eat 90 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 2: less in the beginning and then you just swoop back up. 91 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 2: It's kind of all or nothing. I don't think they 92 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 2: can hypnotize you to drink less. If they could just 93 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 2: hypnotize me to drink one half a glass of wine 94 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 2: a day, that would be good. But I don't think 95 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 2: they can do that. The rub is I am going 96 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 2: away to Venice later in the month, and I don't 97 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 2: want to not drink in Venice. What I mean, one 98 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 2: of the things you do on trips is you have 99 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 2: you know, you have a spritz here, you have a 100 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 2: spritz here. I'll tell you that story later. I do 101 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 2: have Alex and Millis. It's open lines. I love to 102 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 2: talk to you about your best New Years and your 103 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 2: worst New Years, or anything else that might pop into 104 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 2: your mind. As I say open lines. And Alex in Millis, Hi. 105 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 4: Alex, Hey, probably happy New Year. I'm here with with 106 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 4: our family at UH at a church, uh function, and 107 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 4: they're having a you know, a band in the New 108 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 4: Year's galla. Uh. So it's it's a lot of fun. 109 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 4: But as you get older, I think, uh, you know, 110 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 4: New Year's uh, you know, becomes just another day for 111 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 4: a lot of people. But I mean, you know, and 112 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 4: if you were to ask people, what is time? 113 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: You know? 114 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 4: So so in other words, you don't you don't actually 115 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 4: uh you know see it. I mean it it's there, 116 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 4: but it's kind of like the wind, you know. Uh, 117 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 4: you don't see the wing, but you see its effect, 118 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 4: you know, do you know what I mean? 119 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 2: Yes, you see the trees blowing around, right, and time 120 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 2: is like that because you don't see time, but you 121 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 2: see the wrinkles. 122 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 4: Well, nowadays you can probably take care of that, you know, 123 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 4: if you go to a cosmetologist or. 124 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna keep my wrinkles. 125 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 4: Yeah I know that. It's show. It's it gives you 126 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 4: a character. 127 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 2: But and you see, when you're a man in our society, 128 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 2: or if you're many many humans let's say, are able 129 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 2: to grow beards. And if you're able to grow a 130 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 2: beard right and you style it right, then you can 131 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 2: cover up all your facial agings and you you look 132 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 2: the same as long as you live. 133 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's true. For our New Year's resolution resolutions, 134 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 4: I don't know, they don't seem to work. But you know, 135 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 4: if if you were to tell me, I really don't 136 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 4: have too many vices, like I'm not a gambler. I 137 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 4: don't smoke, and I don't really drink that much. But 138 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,719 Speaker 4: on the other hand, like I you know, I like 139 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 4: to indulge in sweets and like chocolate and stuff. But 140 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 4: if it doesn't affect me, you know, asparse my weight, 141 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 4: how come. I don't know if it's my genetics, but 142 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 4: I'm the type of person that have has eaten a 143 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 4: whole pizza, you know now before I get ready to 144 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 4: go to bed, you know. And I'm the same weight 145 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 4: throughout the years, even in high school. I remember, I 146 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 4: can still wear the same clothes like from forty years ago, 147 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 4: fifty years ago. 148 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 2: You know, you're bumming me out, Alex. I mean, yeah, 149 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 2: you're bumming us all out. We're jealous that you can 150 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 2: eat a pizza at every night and still how about 151 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 2: this argument? 152 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 4: How about this argument? If if I get on a 153 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 4: plane and you know, buy a ticket, right, I weigh 154 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 4: one hundred and thirty seven pounds, not to just any 155 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 4: no disrespect. Disrespect you know on heavy people. But a 156 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 4: person that weighs twice my weight pays the same price 157 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 4: I do if I use the same analogy with my 158 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,440 Speaker 4: with my luggage. Okay, if your bags are over fifty 159 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 4: pounds or whatever the cutoff is, you have to pay more. 160 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 4: So why do I pay the same price for a 161 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 4: ticket as a person that is not the same weight 162 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 4: as many? 163 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 2: Maybe they should do this. You get to take a 164 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 2: finite amount on board, and that amount is your weight 165 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 2: and the weight of your luggage. So there, the thinner 166 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 2: you are, the more luggages you get to take, or 167 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 2: the heavy you are, the less luggas you get to take. 168 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 4: How's that that sounds good?

But one time she said, my friend 340 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 2: Anya and Tom are going to Frag for New Year's Eve. 341 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 2: You want to go? I said yeah, And they said, 342 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 2: meet us in Berlin. We'll hang out here for a 343 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 2: night and then we'll go together, all four of us. 344 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 2: And it was so great. I didn't have to do 345 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 2: anything or plan anything. The four of us went on 346 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 2: the train to Prague. And it's fun to travel with 347 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 2: local people. They're one of the bummers is they'll speak 348 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 2: to each other in German. You have no idea what 349 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 2: they're saying. But Corolla is her name. Still, they had 350 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 2: planned the trip and they they booked this place like 351 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 2: a little out of town, kind of like Brighton would 352 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 2: be the Boston. I guess. We had to take a 353 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,679 Speaker 2: taxi just about Brighton distance, but it was kind of 354 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 2: it was out not quite the country, but kind of 355 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 2: the country. And it was a tiny, tiny place. It 356 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 2: had five tables, five tables only, and it was a 357 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 2: fixed rice deal. You got all your food, all your drinks, 358 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 2: unlimited everything and even fireworks included for thirty bucks, which 359 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 2: is you know, even then in the nineties. That was 360 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 2: a good deal. So I just felt so free and 361 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 2: so international and mostly free though, being with these international 362 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 2: friends and in this intimate space in an exotic place. 363 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 2: I still have a picture of it. You know, I 364 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:35,360 Speaker 2: should post it. We wore, you know, we wore. They 365 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 2: wore weird masks. That was part of the New Year's package. 366 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,840 Speaker 2: So there's a picture of everybody looking kind of wasted, 367 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 2: but we really weren't. It was the weird masks, I guess. 368 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 2: Then we went out and shot off our fireworks and 369 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 2: then that went back into town. Oh actually no, we 370 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 2: didn't go back into town that night. We had We 371 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 2: stayed over and the bummer was we left our key 372 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 2: in the room, so about two am we had to 373 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 2: bang on it was it was kind of the equivalent 374 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 2: of an Airbnb. It was just somebody's house that we 375 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 2: rented out of room two rooms actually. 376 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 3: And. 377 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 2: Forgot a key, so we had to knock on the 378 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 2: door at two am and haven't let us in. But 379 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 2: that was, I guess my best New Year's even memory. 380 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 2: I do love the traveling I am. If you want 381 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 2: to follow me on the next trip. I've kind of 382 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 2: taken a break from traveling because I've run out of 383 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:33,919 Speaker 2: places that I want to go. I'm not I'm not 384 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 2: a traveler that goes everywhere. I don't want to go 385 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 2: to uncomfortable places anymore. I have a friend that'll go 386 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 2: to oh god, hot, sweaty places, I don't want to 387 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 2: go to. They look difficult. I like her. I like Europe, 388 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 2: I like the Middle East. I like Eastern Europe. I 389 00:23:54,280 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 2: like that kind of thing. Oh a Morocco, Turkey, all that. 390 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 2: But I don't. I've run out of all those places, 391 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 2: and so now I'm focusing on kind of nice places 392 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 2: and coming up with in this month is Venice in 393 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 2: the Winter Venice, and I'd love you to follow me 394 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,399 Speaker 2: and share the experience with me. You can follow me 395 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,120 Speaker 2: on Facebook or Instagram or any one of those you can. 396 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 2: I'll do live things. Venice in the winter is great. 397 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 2: In the summer it's hell. Don't ever go in the summer, awful, expensive, ripoff, 398 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 2: stinky mosquitoes, bad, even the locals hated. But in the 399 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 2: winter it's not that cold, like forty degrees, just kind 400 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 2: of bottle up far fewer people, all those little there 401 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 2: are no cars, very festive Christmas lights. I hope will 402 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 2: still be up. And they have these little things called chicketti, 403 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,480 Speaker 2: which are the Venetian equivalent of tap us, but they're 404 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 2: all on bread mostly and all different toppings. I won't 405 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 2: even go into what they are. Little chicketti. Look it 406 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 2: up and you just spread it so you And I 407 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 2: remember the last time I went to this place, small place, 408 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 2: a hole in the wall, and the weather was just 409 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 2: like this, and there was a crazy Swiss guy there. 410 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 2: I mean he was on fire because he was doing snuff, 411 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 2: you know, the tobacco based stuff that just minty that 412 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 2: shoots a hole right through the top of your head. 413 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 2: And he was making everybody in a bar do snuff. 414 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 2: It wasn't making them, but he got the bar dunners 415 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 2: to do snuff. And he was I have a video 416 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 2: you can if you go to Bradley Jay Travel on YouTube. 417 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 2: The video of it's there. And I did it myself 418 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 2: and it was the strangest sensation. But he was going 419 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 2: on and on about how great America was. He gave 420 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 2: a whole speech and God blessed America. It was pretty cool, 421 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 2: a pretty cool moment. And a beautiful town in the 422 00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 2: and you know, just no traffic. You can take a 423 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 2: water shuttle from the airport into town. So I'll share 424 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 2: all that with you. I'll make a big video.

Let's take this break 428 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 2: and chat about anything, New Year's or otherwise on WBZ. 429 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: It's Night Side with Dan Ray on wb Boston's news radio. 430 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 2: I have about twenty minutes to go till the year 431 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 2: is over, twenty twenty five open lines.

First, if you're a person who plans 437 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 2: to do dry January, and that is wildly popular now, 438 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,639 Speaker 2: it's a big deal now, started out with just a 439 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 2: few hundred folks doing it and now it's in the millions. 440 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,159 Speaker 2: One thing that makes it a lot easier, there's you 441 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 2: may not be aware of this, but there are very 442 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 2: good tasting na beers, non alcoholic beers now.

Guinness as one, it's great. 448 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:49,400 Speaker 2: There's one called Athletic, which is I think strictly an 449 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 2: a there's it's gonna, there's a pay, There's a i 450 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 2: think a pallel called run Wild.

A lot of the joy of 453 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 2: drinking beer is a ritual, and so when you drink 454 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 2: these beers, the ritual is still there, getting it out 455 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 2: of the fridge, popping the top, tasting that brisk kind 456 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 2: of taste, uh, trying to think wein Stefaner has one 457 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 2: that's there are big sections in the in the liquor store. 458 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 2: There's even one maybe it's athletic. It is a light, 459 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 2: this regular na beer, and then there's a non alcoholic 460 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 2: beer light. It has twenty five calories. A lot of 461 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 2: them have like sixty sixty five, seventy. This is twenty 462 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 2: five caldies. If you're trying to lose weight, and you 463 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 2: might expect that it would be this, this non alcoholic 464 00:28:58,760 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 2: light beer would be terrible. 465 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 3: It's not. 466 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 2: It's kind of like bud light. It's good for you know, 467 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 2: it's very doable, and I actually am looking forward to 468 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 2: going home and have having one now. It's it's something 469 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 2: I've come to look forward to, which is interesting. So 470 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 2: there's that. If you're can try to dry January. Check 471 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 2: out the really wide range of non alcoholic beers next. 472 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 2: This is something I've noticed in the press, and I 473 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 2: would call upon the Boston Globe and i'll the press 474 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 2: to change this. When they will give an account of 475 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 2: say a person getting hit by a car or something, 476 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 2: or a person getting in an accident or other other things, 477 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 2: they will give the age. And I feel that as ageist, 478 00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 2: they will say, eighty four year old man hit crossing 479 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:06,240 Speaker 2: the street? Why is that relevant? Why are you Why 480 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 2: are you including that? Is it? Are you saying that 481 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 2: this person was too old to be walking across the street. 482 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:20,320 Speaker 2: I think this age is to include that fact you 483 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 2: wouldn't give. There are certain other facts about the person 484 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 2: you wouldn't give. Why is the age necessary? And I 485 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 2: don't think it is, And I think it's a form 486 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 2: of agism to include that, and agism is another ism 487 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 2: like sexism and racism. You can't help your age, and 488 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 2: you shouldn't be. You shouldn't be treated differently because of 489 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 2: your age, shouldn't be excluded because of your age, shouldn't 490 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 2: be made fun of because of your age. And this 491 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 2: works the other way too. By the way, boomers say 492 00:30:54,480 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 2: bad stuff about Gen Z and millennials, You shouldn't you 493 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 2: shouldn't be dising an entire generation because you don't know them. 494 00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 2: Not all millennials are, you know, out of the millennial 495 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 2: stereoty stereotype many many, many are not many are hard working. 496 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 2: That's something you could stop doing during the new year, 497 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 2: be a little better. I'd like to see press newspapers 498 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 2: not include the AD's not necessary. Let's see. Oh tomorrow, 499 00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 2: I think is the day you can throw out your 500 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 2: Christmas cards. I don't know how long you keep them, 501 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 2: And you can throw out your Christmas tree. It's weird 502 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 2: to me. Sometimes sometimes they'll go out to the dumpster 503 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:47,240 Speaker 2: by my house, like in like April, and I'll see 504 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 2: this burned out tree there and think, what do these 505 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 2: people keep this tree till April? What kind of place 506 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 2: do they have up there. I don't think I want 507 00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:05,320 Speaker 2: to go up there and uh yeah that Oh that's it. 508 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 2: Oh one other thing. This could be a whole topic 509 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 2: for another another time. I can't decide if it would 510 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 2: have the legs for a whole hour. But should kids 511 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 2: take phones to school? And it's not just that they 512 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 2: didn't used to? Why do kids? Look, I don't have children, 513 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,440 Speaker 2: so I don't understand. I get it. Perhaps someone would 514 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 2: be able to explain to me in the new year 515 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 2: why kids need phones they can go on the internet 516 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 2: to take to school. They will say, well, well, I 517 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 2: need to get in touch with my child, my child, 518 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 2: But why don't you just call the school and they'll 519 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 2: go go get the kid? Right? Is that it? Or 520 00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 2: is it like for stranger danger? Is that the reason? 521 00:32:55,200 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 2: I don't know? The risk versus the reward? Why do 522 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 2: kids need phones in school? You know that they are. 523 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 2: Some schools are attempting to have kids drop up there 524 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 2: their phones when they go in. Just like the old West, 525 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 2: leave your weapon, leave your weapon outside the bar. You 526 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 2: can't come in this saloon with your weapon. Same kind 527 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 2: of thing. But the kids are figuring out ways around it. 528 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 2: They'll bring in dummy phones and drop that in the 529 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 2: bag and keep their real phone. I don't know that 530 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 2: I'd be curious to know how parents feel about that 531 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,640 Speaker 2: some time during the in the new year. One other 532 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 2: thing I'm thinking about is, and I don't know how 533 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 2: you feel about it, personal body cam. There are dash 534 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 2: cams that are meant to protect you if you're in 535 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:59,120 Speaker 2: the right during a traffic accident, or if you in 536 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 2: any situation you might need proof that you were not 537 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 2: doing something wrong. There are police body cams to you know, 538 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:11,760 Speaker 2: for accountability and for the protection of both the citizen 539 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 2: and the officer. I'm thinking of getting a personal body cam, 540 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 2: a teeny one that when I'm walking down the street. 541 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 2: When I'm i'd go on long walks, sometimes from you know, 542 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 2: from Brookline to the South End, or from South End 543 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:42,839 Speaker 2: to Somerville. And since enforcement traffic enforcement is really has 544 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 2: really been reduced a lot, And since scooters don't seem 545 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 2: to be subject to the gas scooters, the delivery scooters 546 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:58,959 Speaker 2: don't seem to be subject to any traffic laws at all. 547 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 2: We were on our own, We are on our own. You 548 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 2: need to watch out for yourself. There are bicycles, There 549 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 2: are e bikes that go forty miles an hour. There 550 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 2: are motor scooters, are delivery scooters in the bike lane, 551 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 2: and of course there are oh knows that are also 552 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 2: not paying attention to business or they're on their phone. 553 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 2: You're really on your own. And so I have two 554 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,520 Speaker 2: things going for me. I wear a high viz jacket, 555 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 2: not very fashionable. It looks like like a tea worker 556 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:39,680 Speaker 2: or an officer or a construction worker. It's orange, and 557 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 2: that is great. People see me far away, they'll stop 558 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:48,160 Speaker 2: way before the crosswalk. It's a real it's a real 559 00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 2: life saver. You might want to consider that because you 560 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 2: are on your own, especially if you're a kid or 561 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 2: you're older. If you get hit, you break a hip, 562 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 2: your life's never going to be the same. This last year, 563 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 2: twenty twenty five, we had somebody killed by a knee 564 00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 2: bike and Copley Square somebody terrible damage down in the Cape. 565 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 2: It's there are more and more of them, they're more 566 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 2: and more scooded. You run your own. The other thing 567 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:20,080 Speaker 2: is the bodycam. I want if something, if I get hit, 568 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:25,320 Speaker 2: I'd love to have it on videotape. And so I 569 00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,759 Speaker 2: don't know. You may disagree with that notion. But'd say, well, 570 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 2: what about if I go into a store and you're 571 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:39,560 Speaker 2: videotaping the barista at Starbucks? Well, I mean that's something 572 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,399 Speaker 2: to talk about. That's something to consider. I'm gonna break 573 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 2: and we'll go to Boston, Bob after this on WBZ, you're. 574 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 1: On Night Side with Dan Ray on WBZ Boston's news radio. 575 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 2: Wow, this is the last ten minutes of the year 576 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 2: and last nine minutes of the year.

So to celebrate my beating cancer, I 602 00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:12,879 Speaker 5: went on my first ever cruise. It was a bit 603 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 5: back and I don't know if I should say the 604 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:19,080 Speaker 5: name of the cruise line, but I was not happy 605 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:23,240 Speaker 5: with the experience, and I s yeah, I won't say. 606 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,600 Speaker 5: I swore after that experience I would never cruise again 607 00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:32,480 Speaker 5: until a friend of mine who I follow on YouTube 608 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:36,880 Speaker 5: and Facebook provided me with an offer I could not refuse. 609 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:41,319 Speaker 5: So I went on another cruise with and I will 610 00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:41,959 Speaker 5: share the name. 611 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 3: Because it was a terrific experience. 612 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:51,319 Speaker 5: It was Virgin Voyages, and Virgin Voyages was amazing in 613 00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 5: every aspect of the experience. 614 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:55,920 Speaker 3: It was just wonderful. 615 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 5: The food was terrific, staff was terrific. 616 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,360 Speaker 3: By the way, the staff was terrific. 617 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,719 Speaker 5: On the not so great experience, but the food was 618 00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 5: not good on the first experience, and unfortunately, on the 619 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:13,279 Speaker 5: first experience, the cruise line allowed people to smoke in 620 00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 5: their casino, which I found quite offensive, and they didn't 621 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,840 Speaker 5: get any business from me because I couldn't go to 622 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,880 Speaker 5: the casino because it slunk like cigarette smoke. But on 623 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 5: Virgin voyages there's no smoking in the casino. 624 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 3: There was a wonderful time. 625 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,799 Speaker 5: The only thing I don't like about cruises bread is 626 00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 5: every one of the ports that you go into there 627 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:38,440 Speaker 5: what I considered to. 628 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 3: Be tourist traps. 629 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:46,799 Speaker 5: And the cruise port that I went originally, the one 630 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:51,400 Speaker 5: that I did not appreciate was through Alaska. Alaska was 631 00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,160 Speaker 5: beautiful to look at, but like I said, the cruise 632 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 5: ports were like tourist traps. The second cruise on Virgin 633 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:01,399 Speaker 5: was through the. 634 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 3: Caribbean, which I found amazing. 635 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 5: The ports were beautiful to look at. Because of my illness, 636 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,880 Speaker 5: I couldn't spend too much time on the ports because 637 00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:15,279 Speaker 5: it was too humid out. 638 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,400 Speaker 3: My breathing was not as easy as I'd like it 639 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:18,799 Speaker 3: to pee. 640 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:19,880 Speaker 2: What ports did you go to? 641 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:29,120 Speaker 5: H for which one the Caribbean. The Caribbean we went through, 642 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,720 Speaker 5: I started off in San Juan, which is a place 643 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 5: that I'd never been to in my life. 644 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:35,880 Speaker 3: It was beautiful. 645 00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,680 Speaker 5: So we started off in San Juan and then we 646 00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 5: went on to Antigua Saint Martin. 647 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 2: I'm curious about sat Mine. 648 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 5: Saint Martin was beautiful to look at. You know, there's 649 00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:55,280 Speaker 5: a there's a I didn't. I wasn't able to go myself, 650 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 5: but friends of mine who were on the cruise went 651 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:03,680 Speaker 5: and they experience that. It's right near the airport where 652 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 5: you can be on the ocean where the airplanes land 653 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,239 Speaker 5: and they almost touched your head. 654 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:10,160 Speaker 3: It's crazy. 655 00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:11,759 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a big popular thing for. 656 00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:18,680 Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I'm sure your friend Mika would love that. Yes, 657 00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:25,320 Speaker 5: so there was that, and uh we also went. 658 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:30,880 Speaker 3: To uh, let's see, I said, Antigua. Antigua was beautiful. 659 00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:33,560 Speaker 2: And uh. 660 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 3: We also went to. 661 00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:42,360 Speaker 5: Having a brain clamp. It'll it'll come to me. 662 00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:43,880 Speaker 2: What was the food that was so good on the 663 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:45,360 Speaker 2: good cruise? What was it like? 664 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:51,400 Speaker 5: It was? It was just amazing. So comparing the first 665 00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:55,319 Speaker 5: cruise to the second cruise, the first cruise, and which 666 00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:59,240 Speaker 5: apparently is typical of cruises, they have these big, huge 667 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:06,040 Speaker 5: common dining rooms that you go to to have your meals. 668 00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:08,840 Speaker 3: And I didn't really. 669 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:14,440 Speaker 5: Appreciate that Virgin Voyages separates themselves from the rest in 670 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:21,759 Speaker 5: that they have They have separate restaurants, about twenty three 671 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,239 Speaker 5: of them the exact all different types of food. They 672 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:32,719 Speaker 5: had Italian, Mexican, American, other fears, and they don't have 673 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,799 Speaker 5: like the typical cruises they have this. Typical cruises have 674 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,440 Speaker 5: a big, huge buffet. I don't appreciate a buffet, and 675 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,120 Speaker 5: apparently people who go on Virgin Voyages don't either. 676 00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:44,440 Speaker 3: They don't have one. 677 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,759 Speaker 5: They have a galley with different types of foods that 678 00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:52,279 Speaker 5: are available that have served you, and it was just incredible. 679 00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,360 Speaker 5: I didn't have one bad thing to say about my 680 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 5: experience on Virgins. 681 00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:58,719 Speaker 2: Will it's something do you think about it?
