So that's just a little 19 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 2: bit of a preview, and I will tell you that 20 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 2: later on this evening we're going to be talking at 21 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 2: nine o'clock with Massachusetts State Auditor Diana Dezaglio. About her 22 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 2: continuing efforts to audit the state legislature, and she now 23 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 2: wants to also audit Massport, which is a so called 24 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 2: quasi public agency, but she wants to know what they're 25 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 2: doing with the money that taxpayers have provided them over 26 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 2: the years. We want to talk at ten o'clock about 27 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 2: your storm prep. What did you do today? A little 28 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: late in the season, but I'll tell you I was 29 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 2: at a store today and it was just crazy. And 30 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 2: then at the twentieth hour, we're going to give you 31 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 2: an opportunity to predict the final score, the winner, and 32 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 2: the final score of the Pats game in Denver against 33 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 2: the Broncos. And once again we will put up a 34 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 2: very valuable nightside coffee mug for the person who comes 35 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 2: closest to the score and speaking about what's going on 36 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 2: out in Denver. And it's going to be cold out there, 37 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 2: maybe not as cold as here. I am delighted to 38 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 2: welcome Tara Sullivan, a great sports writer with the Globe 39 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 2: who wrote a really interesting piece about perhaps to some extent, 40 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 2: maybe to a big extent, good fortune smiled on the 41 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 2: Patriots this year. Tara, welcome to night Side. How are you? 42 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 3: I'm good thank you and thanks for having me. 43 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 2: So I read your stuff in the Globe. I like 44 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 2: it a lot. 45 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 4: Thank you. 46 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 2: The perspective that you had, I'm sure probably riled a 47 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 2: few few Patriot fans. Why don't you lay it out there, 48 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:47,519 Speaker 2: because in actuality I follow them pretty well. But you 49 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 2: you had every point that I would have made if 50 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 2: I tried to make the argument. You summoned your argument 51 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 2: very very effectively. 52 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 3: Well, thank you, And as I tried to point out, 53 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 3: it was not it was not an effort to discredit 54 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 3: at all what the Patriots have done this season. But 55 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 3: it's you know, I was sitting with my colleague Nicole 56 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 3: Yang as we came out of the win over Houston, 57 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 3: and we kind of we looked at each other and 58 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 3: we were saying, it was almost that elephant in the room. 59 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 3: This has been a tremendous Patriot story. But Lady luck 60 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 3: has been on their side. They have absolutely just gotten 61 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 3: some breaks this season, much of them deserves based on 62 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 3: how the franchise had fallen. You know, that's the reason 63 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 3: you get a relatively easy schedule based on your previous 64 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 3: year's record. But so many other things have kind of 65 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 3: gone their way. The flip side of that, of course, 66 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 3: is credit to them for taking advantage of those opportunities 67 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 3: and of those breaks, but to you know, to not 68 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 3: acknowledge them, to me almost feel silly, like I find 69 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 3: a lot of fun in kind of looking at all 70 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 3: the things that went their way. And it's continuing right 71 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 3: through this weekend where they're facing a backup quarterback Nicks. 72 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 2: I mean, I watched that play and I didn't see anything. 73 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 4: It was. 74 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 2: It was to the best of mine. 75 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 5: Officers, no, no, a trainer coming out checking out the 76 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 5: guy's ankle, and when they talked about it on Sunday night, 77 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 5: a broken bone in his ankle, and then they've said it's. 78 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 2: A broken ankle. There's a difference between a broken bone 79 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 2: and an ankle and a broken ankle. I think, Uh, 80 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 2: it was like wow, I mean he he threw that, 81 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 2: uh that that final pass play that set them up 82 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 2: for the ye for the winning the win off off 83 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 2: of that that ankle. So okay, So let's talk about Denver. 84 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 2: And here's my question to you. Is there anyway in 85 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 2: your mind under the circumstances that the Broncos beat the 86 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 2: Patriots this Sunday? 87 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 3: And there absolutely is a way, and it rests with 88 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 3: their defense, because if you look at what the pa 89 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 3: have done in the playoffs in particular, the defense has 90 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 3: led the way. And again credit to them, they're peaking 91 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 3: at just the right time. They're they're really their pass 92 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 3: rushes on point, they're really getting to the quarterback. They're 93 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 3: disrupting a lot of things. They're scoring some points when needed. 94 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 3: So they've been sort of carrying the team. More so. 95 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 3: Drake may Or everybody's favorite quarterback, has come up with 96 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 3: some great plays at very important moments, but he hasn't 97 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 3: played his best football, particularly in protecting the football in 98 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 3: the playoffs. So to me, that's the formula. If Denver 99 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 3: wins this game, it's because their defense, which led the 100 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 3: league in NFL, led the league in sacks this season, 101 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 3: really just disrupts the Patriot offense and keeps them, you know, 102 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 3: maybe below fourteen points or some. 103 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 2: Well, the Patriots got to break today when the den 104 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 2: the leading running back for Denver basically has been ruled out. Dobbins. Now, 105 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 2: it seems to me that if I was, if I was, 106 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 2: John McVeigh would be Uh, he's the He's the coach 107 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 2: of Denver, right, the the old. 108 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:16,239 Speaker 3: Right, I Knews Mike, Yeah, of New Orleans. 109 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: I had New Orleans if they were able to keep 110 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 2: the ball on the ground and run, you know, and 111 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 2: limit Stadham Steedham to the the backup quarterback to you know, 112 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 2: short passes that that are not going to get in 113 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: trouble and keep the Patriots offense off the field. I 114 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 2: just don't know how how Denver generates much offense with 115 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 2: a guy that hasn't taken a snap and I think 116 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 2: three years. I mean, god love, he hasn't thrown hasn't 117 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 2: thrown a pass. Fine, okay, thank you, but he's an 118 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 2: NFL quarterback and all of that. But there's a huge 119 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 2: drop off there from bow Nicks. I just you know, 120 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 2: I I don't want to be too optimist stick here, 121 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 2: but would you say, but. 122 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 3: Man, very reminiscent in some ways of last weekend's game 123 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 3: with Houston, because you know, Houston came in with a 124 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 3: very dominant defense, and he kind of felt similarly because 125 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 3: you wondered, oh, can Houston's offense generate enough points? And when, 126 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 3: like once the Patriots kind of broke that twenty points, 127 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 3: I thought, okay, there's there's just no chance. It almost 128 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 3: felt like a magic number, and I kind of feel 129 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 3: similarly this weekend that if, like you're saying, if the 130 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 3: Patriot offense is out on the field long enough and 131 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 3: kind of gets to that twenty point territory, you're right, 132 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 3: I don't see a way that that the Denver offense 133 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 3: then can match them at that point. I mean there's 134 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 3: a million factors here. Like Dan Shaughnessy wrote great piece 135 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 3: today about how you know, New England has never won 136 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 3: a playoff game in Denver despite multiple opportunities. There is 137 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 3: the altitude factor, like there are some things that just 138 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 3: naturally work against the Patriots. But I still think they 139 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 3: you know, they're going on the road and they're favored. 140 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 3: So I mean that says a lot about how depleted. Yeah, 141 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 3: that says a lot about how depleted Denver is. 142 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 2: And I only think the only Patriot on the sideline 143 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 2: that that was involved in any of those the playoff 144 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 2: losses to the Broncos is Mike Vrabel. 145 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 3: I mean, right, right, fair enough. I mean it's definitely historical, 146 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 3: but yeah, it's just a hard place to win. You know, 147 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 3: it's generally speaking a hard place to win because of 148 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 3: the altitude difference. 149 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 2: Okay, well we're gonna see. Look, Tara, I really will 150 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 2: you be out there? 151 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 4: I assume no, not just if they went. 152 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 3: We kind of alternate all around. So Dan is out there. 153 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 3: But but I'll be writing from here and then if 154 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 3: they win, we'll be off. 155 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 2: They stay and stay dry this weekend and go Patriots. 156 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 3: All right, sounds good? 157 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 4: Right back at it, thanks Tara. 158 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,960 Speaker 2: All Right, Tara Sullivan to the Boston Globe.

Another move by the 162 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 2: Massachusetts State Senate for good government.

So the Massachusetts State Senate, 174 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 2: I'm not sure if it was today, but they have 175 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 2: recently voted to have monthly is it monthly or every 176 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 2: two week to closures of ballot question financing. You and 177 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 2: I both know what ballot questions are in Massachusetts. Oftentimes, 178 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 2: the most famous ballot question is the one that, by 179 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 2: a seventy two percent vote in twenty twenty four, voters 180 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 2: in Massachusetts voted to authorize pastor law to authorize the 181 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 2: state auditor, who will be talking to tonight at nine o'clock, 182 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 2: to audit the legislature. And they've been at loggerheads ever since. 183 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 2: So I don't know if this is a good and 184 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 2: a good government initiative. But where does it stand? As 185 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 2: it it's this initial passage in the Senate has to 186 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 2: go over to that other house of integrity across the state, 187 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 2: the House of Representatives, I assume, and then bounce back 188 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 2: and forth. So it's not law yet, but it's in 189 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 2: the process of being made law. Correct. 190 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 6: Yes, Yes, the Senate passed it last week during sessions. 191 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 6: They voted, and so now it is being sent back 192 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 6: to the House for consideration and then there's few more 193 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 6: steps and then it will if all so it gets 194 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 6: you know, voted to be approved, it'll go to Governoring 195 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 6: Healey's desk. 196 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 2: Well, it sounds something like it's sort of like a 197 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 2: rocket dock at where they want this. Now. The reason is, 198 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 2: I assume that there's a whole bunch of ballot questions 199 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 2: that voters are going to probably have a chance to 200 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 2: ponder come November. Now, the ballot questions still have to 201 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,080 Speaker 2: be approved, and there has to be a group of 202 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 2: signatures collected to get those ballot questions on the ballot. 203 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 2: But as I understand that there's about a dozen ballot 204 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 2: questions dealing with different issues that actually will give voters 205 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 2: a chance to vote on. Is that something you think 206 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 2: that the members of the Great in general what are 207 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 2: a little concerned. 208 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 6: About in our previous supporting You know, we've we've covered 209 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 6: how Speaker Ron Mariano and his voice not necessarily concerns 210 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 6: but maybe he's not thrilled about a comedy ballot questions. 211 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 6: But through the process, so I think the legislature is 212 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 6: taking a step towards just you know, this initial approval 213 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 6: of the bill. The intent behind it is to provide 214 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 6: more transparency behind Baalid questions and the campaign financing of those. 215 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 2: I'm not going to put you into any sort of 216 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 2: a political bind here. I have to remember myself that 217 00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 2: you are a reporter. You call balls and strikes. Okay, 218 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 2: so I won't do that to you. But so so, 219 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 2: if this were to pass and they put an emergency 220 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 2: preamble on on it, which means that it goes into 221 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 2: effect immediately upon the governors saying that you're not the 222 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 2: normal weight of ninety days, this could really be in 223 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 2: effect sometime May or June, well in advance of this 224 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:24,480 Speaker 2: coming election season. And I guess up until September, the 225 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 2: ballot committees, the people who would support whatever they're supporting. 226 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 2: We won't get into the politics of it. They would 227 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 2: be obligated to file a report monthly. If let's say 228 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 2: it becomes lower and hypothetically in June or May, that 229 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,719 Speaker 2: have to file a report in May or June, than 230 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 2: one in July, then one in August, once a month 231 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 2: so that there will be a clearer understanding of what 232 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 2: groups and or individuals are supporting whatever the issue is. 233 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 2: And then come September, I guess they have to file 234 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 2: reports every two weeks up until the election. 235 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 7: Correct yep, yep, that's okay. 236 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 2: And now I know that we're going to be talking 237 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 2: with the State Auditor at nine o'clock, who I'm a 238 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 2: big fan of. And you know that her ballot initiative 239 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 2: question passed with seventy two percent of the people in 240 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 2: Massachusetts voting to give her the authority to audit the legislature, 241 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 2: the House and Senate. I think it's fair for me 242 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 2: to say, without throwing you overboard politically here, that the 243 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 2: legislature has fought against this effort to the auditor wants 244 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 2: to exercise. There's a whole backstory to we won't get 245 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 2: into that, but there will be a question or they 246 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 2: will likely be a question on the ballot, which will 247 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 2: actually one of the questions, as I understand it, that 248 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 2: the Auditor is advancing now, is to have all of 249 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:02,239 Speaker 2: the information at the House and Senate opened to anyone, 250 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 2: not just the state Auditor, and not just to people 251 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 2: like you and me, who you know, apply our trade 252 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 2: in the in the news media. And I'm sure, I'm 253 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 2: sure that the legislature is going to look very carefully 254 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 2: at what groups or individuals are supporting that that ballot initiative. 255 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 2: I'm assuming that that has probably generated a little bit 256 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 2: of the interest in transparency. That that that you've spoken of, 257 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 2: Is that a fair sub I'm trying to walk a 258 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 2: middle path here, okay and not yes. 259 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 6: No, I totally understand, you know, yeah, that's a that's 260 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 6: a totally fair interpretation of what's going on. 261 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate that. Go ahead, if I didn't mean 262 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 2: to interrupt, go right ahead. 263 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 6: Oh no, no, don't worries. But yeah, you know, the 264 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 6: the top Beacon Hill lawmakers, you know they are I 265 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 6: will say, they are concerns and they have expressed concerns 266 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 6: about the number of ballot questions going through. And then 267 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 6: like you mentioned, there has been a push and pull 268 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 6: ongoing between lawmakers, the legislature, attorney general, and the auditor. 269 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 6: So I'm sure you know they'll be curious most likely 270 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 6: to see who. 271 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 2: Well, it also provides some information, or one might say, 272 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 2: fodder for television commercials, either for or against a ballot initiative, 273 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 2: because if you're opposed to something, you can always say, well, 274 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 2: look at the money that's pouring in or whatever and 275 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 2: where it's coming from. So you know, they they certainly 276 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 2: the information. Uh, there'll be a lot of transparency. Let's 277 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 2: let's put it that way. Kenny, tell me a little 278 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 2: bit about yourself. How long have you been with the 279 00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 2: State House News Service. 280 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 7: Yeah? 281 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 6: Yeah, I've been here since mid November, so just over 282 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:10,360 Speaker 6: two months actually. I born and raised in Massachusetts. I 283 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 6: love living here. Before State House News Service, I was 284 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 6: reporting on healthcare in Gilla State for Providence Business News. 285 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 6: Shout out PDM down in Rhode Island. 286 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 2: Good for you. Where did you did you do journal 287 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 2: I assume you did some form of journalism in college? 288 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, I majored in journalism at in college, and 289 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 6: I also had a minor in business administration. 290 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 2: Oh great, Okay, Well, look, I always like to learn 291 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 2: a little bit about the reporters. Many years ago, decades ago, 292 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,959 Speaker 2: I was doing the same sort of thing that you 293 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,360 Speaker 2: did up at this day house for Channel four WBZTV, 294 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 2: when we used to have a lot of TV reporters 295 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 2: and camera crews crawling around the State House. I know 296 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 2: that's a little different now, but in all honesty, I 297 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 2: think the public really is blessed to have the State 298 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 2: House News Service in operation because a lot of the 299 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 2: TV stations have pulled back their daily coverage at the 300 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 2: State House. Which I think is a shame because they 301 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 2: didn't feel that it probably was the most exciting topics 302 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 2: on a day to day basis. So you're feeling a 303 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 2: very important need you and everyone else at the State 304 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 2: House News Service, and I just want to say thank 305 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 2: you for going into journalism and thanking thank you for 306 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 2: doing what you and the rest of your colleagues do. 307 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 2: So big thank you from the night side audience, and 308 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 2: we'll have you back on maybe a little bit of 309 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 2: a less politically charged issue. This one is pretty politically 310 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 2: charged at least. Yeah, from my perspective, I hope you 311 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 2: were comfortable tonight, and I hope we'll get to come back. 312 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, of course, thank you so much for saying that, 313 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 6: and yeah, it's great time with you and to meet 314 00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 6: you over the front. 315 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:04,400 Speaker 2: Absolutely, Thanks Katy, Katie Castellania, news reporter for the State 316 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 2: House News Service. Stay dry and stay warm in the 317 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 2: next forty eight or seven. But you say you grew 318 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 2: up here, so this is going to be nothing new 319 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 2: to you. I'm sure you've dealt with big storms before. 320 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 2: Thanks Katy, have a great weekend. Good night. So speaking 321 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 2: about the weather right after the newscast, which is coming 322 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,719 Speaker 2: right up, we're going to talk about this monster storm 323 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 2: that is approaching our neck of the woods, and we're 324 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 2: going to talk with Boston Globe meteorologist Ken Mahan.

But 329 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 2: of course, also a weekend we'll be watching hopefully no 330 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 2: one loses their television coverage of the Patriots game. So 331 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 2: we got a lot to talk about with Ken Mahan 332 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 2: coming back on night Side Boston's news radio. All right, well, 333 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 2: we all know that there is a big storm heading 334 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 2: our way. It's not quite an out doorstep yet, but 335 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 2: one person who's going to be able to give us 336 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 2: all of the details, the good, the bad, and the 337 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 2: ugly if there's any good involved at all, as Ken Mahan. 338 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 2: Mahan of the Boston Globe, Boston Glow Meteorologists take Ken, 339 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 2: you're regular here now we got to put you on 340 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 2: the payroll. I think, welcome back to Night's Side. 341 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 4: Hey Dan, I love being with you guys on the 342 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 4: night Side show and happy to join any time. Especially 343 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,400 Speaker 4: for what potentially will be where I should say most 344 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 4: likely will be the biggest no storm that the Greater 345 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 4: Boston area has seen since January of twenty twenty two. 346 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 4: It's been a while. 347 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember that storm. The storms that I 348 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:59,360 Speaker 2: remember are the successive storms of the winter of January fifth, 349 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 2: twenty fifteen, when we had kind of like this winter, 350 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 2: not a whole lot of snowstorms, a couple of dustings 351 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 2: here and there, and then it started to snow around 352 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 2: January twentieth, and it just seemed to snow every third 353 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 2: or fourth day. It was like a Boston Red Sox 354 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 2: pitcher in the starting rotation, and every fourth or fifth day, woof, 355 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 2: we got hit. And we had about one hundred and 356 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 2: twenty inches of snow if I recall between mid January 357 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 2: of twenty fifteen and the end of February. 358 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, that was an absolute brutal stretch of snowstorms. It 359 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 4: felt like there was a foot of snow falling from 360 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 4: the sky every seventy two hours during that stretch. I 361 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 4: remember it very much. So I'm not a tall guy, 362 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 4: but standing at five foot six, I couldn't see over 363 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 4: the snow banks trying to cross the street in Boston. 364 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, we were. There were a lot of people. So 365 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 2: you don't see some sort of a weather paddings pattern 366 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 2: setting up like this as ten years ago. Explain to 367 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 2: me what happened in January of twenty twenty two. How 368 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 2: was it a big storm like this or was it? 369 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 2: Was it a series of storms? What's true? What's similar? 370 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 2: I mean, the timing's pretty similar. What is similar? And 371 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:15,959 Speaker 2: maybe what's dissimilar? 372 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 4: Well, I'll say one thing about twenty fifteen quickly, there 373 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 4: aren't that much similarities between this winter and twenty fifteen. 374 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 4: It was just a matter of time where we're going 375 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,119 Speaker 4: to see the atmosphere a lock. So it is a 376 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 4: different winter versus then. But for this year versus twenty 377 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 4: twenty two. Twenty twenty two was a classic nor reaster 378 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 4: that just dropped twenty plus inches of snow within a 379 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 4: twenty four hour period. That was just a slog of 380 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 4: a snow. This one is just your classic cyclone originating 381 00:22:56,359 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 4: from the Colorado Low and many weather enthusiasts know where 382 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 4: the storm maker area of the US, and it's gained 383 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 4: It's going to gain so much more traction as it 384 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 4: treks through Texas through the southeast and then through our region. 385 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 4: It's just going to be a massive system. Get this 386 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 4: Sunday morning, it's going to be snowing in both Massachusetts 387 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 4: and Oklahoma from the same system. Wow. 388 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 2: Wow, that's that's about eighteen hundred miles. If I recall 389 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 2: I've been in Oklahoma. That's a's that's a ways from here. 390 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 2: It's a long shot. 391 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 4: Whoa, Oh my gosh, it sure is. And unfortunately it 392 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 4: does look like the models of Greek where this storm 393 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 4: is going to be headed. And we actually had some 394 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 4: confidence of this for the last few days, and that's 395 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 4: why we've seen some pretty significant snowfall. The atmosphere is 396 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 4: so cold. We know that there's no rain snow line 397 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 4: into the mix with this one at all. It's going 398 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 4: to be all snow basically everywhere except from the Cape. 399 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 2: Okay, so when this, let's put a timeline on it. 400 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 2: I'll start you when when do we Let's let's talk 401 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 2: about just New England generally. When does it creep into 402 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 2: New England, When does it hit Boston? When is it 403 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 2: when does it intensify? I'm concerned about power outages for 404 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 2: people watching the Patriots game. I don't want Sunday, and 405 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 2: then I'm supposed to be in the radio on Sunday 406 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 2: night from nine to twelve. If you don't mind, I 407 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 2: might give your call Sunday night a little bit to 408 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,199 Speaker 2: see how we're doing, because that'll be right in the 409 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 2: middle of it, if you might, If you might have 410 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 2: me a couple of minutes to talk with me again 411 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 2: on Sunday night. But give us, give us your timeline. 412 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 2: What what do you think people? And again, you can't 413 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 2: give us a timeline for every city in town in 414 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 2: New England, but just give it. Give us a shot 415 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 2: for us. 416 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 4: Yeah, I could give you a framework and happy to 417 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 4: join it on Sunday anytime. I'm sure I'll be working 418 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 4: covering this storm. But I'll tell you this, so we 419 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 4: know snow is going to begin to fall. The system 420 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 4: is going to come in from the southwest, so Connecticut 421 00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 4: is going to be touched first the Berkshires and then's 422 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 4: going spread towards Boston. Right, So I have a light 423 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,160 Speaker 4: snow at the beginning, flakes starting to fall somewhere between 424 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 4: ten AM and noontime earlier in that timeframe out west, 425 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 4: you go closer to Boston, probably around noontime, but then 426 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 4: the real annoying, heavy stuff that's going to begin to 427 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 4: really pile up is going to be around that two 428 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 4: and three o'clock hour. I think Sunday morning plans totally fine. 429 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 4: If you're trying to get brunch in, that's probably okay. 430 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 4: But if you don't have to leave after say twelve 431 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 4: one pm, that's just the best way to be safe 432 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 4: because it's going to come down in a hurry. Like 433 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 4: I mentioned earlier, the atmosphere is so cold, it's going 434 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 4: to be light, fluffy snow, so it's going to pile 435 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,439 Speaker 4: up real quickly. And even though it's not going to 436 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 4: be that sloggy, wet, heavy, dense snowflakes, it's still going 437 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 4: to fall at a tremendous rate, some one to two 438 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 4: inches per hour, and that's going to make visibility and 439 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 4: driving the road's naturally much more difficult as we progress 440 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 4: into Sunday evening. As far as power outages go, I 441 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 4: think we're going to be okay, at least for the 442 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,479 Speaker 4: Patriots game. The one advantage of light snow, it's not 443 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 4: going to be sticking to the power lines and pulling 444 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 4: that weight down. But eventually, when you start talking snow 445 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 4: totals which wish. I'm sure we'll get to it's going 446 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 4: to pile up in Eventually weight will take over and 447 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 4: there could be some isolated power outages. Then finally the 448 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,119 Speaker 4: wind picks up Sunday night and until overnight Monday, forty 449 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 4: miles per hour gusts along the coast. That could probably 450 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 4: bring some isolated power outages into play as well. 451 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 2: Wow, this is this is a big one. And as 452 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 2: they say, it's been three years, So three years is 453 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 2: about a thousand days, roughly three sixty five times three, 454 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 2: So actually it's four years. What am I talking about? 455 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 2: We're talking about we've had a breakup about fourteen hundred 456 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 2: days when you it's four years ago twenty two. Yeah, 457 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 2: I'm still adjusting to that. 458 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 4: Six Yeah, I think it was January twenty eighth or 459 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 4: twenty ninth or twenty twenty two, so almost four years 460 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 4: to the day with this system. 461 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 2: But when does it wrap up? So assuming that we 462 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 2: get through Sunday night, everybody goes to bed, you wake up, 463 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 2: I'm assuming that schools will be closed on Monday. I'm 464 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:25,120 Speaker 2: assuming that that traffic that anybody who can stay home 465 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 2: on Monday should stay home to allow the plow people 466 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 2: to get the roads in the best condition they can, right. 467 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, this snow it's going to certainly the steady 468 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 4: snow is going to linger just too about sunrise on Monday, 469 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 4: and then it's going to start to break up and 470 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 4: there'll be some dry slots floating about, but snowflakes will 471 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 4: linger about through Monday afternoon. I am sure almost all 472 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 4: the schools across southern New England, eating down to the 473 00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 4: Cape where I say lighter snow, but you're still talking 474 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 4: double digits for some will be closed on Monday. So 475 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 4: that's that's not the plan of going to work if 476 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 4: you don't have to. And then of course with the 477 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 4: kiddos in school. 478 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, close the schools, close the courts. I mean, it's 479 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,959 Speaker 2: crazy that anybody would try to get to anywhere. I mean, 480 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 2: if you want to make sure that if possible, stores 481 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 2: get to reopen or get to restock, to make sure 482 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 2: you're off the road. So I'm sure that when people 483 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 2: go to the stores tomorrow or late, they're going to 484 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 2: find not as much stuff as they would normally find. 485 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 2: So you got to get the trunk a chance to 486 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 2: get back on the roads, just you know, take all 487 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 2: of us are just going at too fast a pace. 488 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 2: Can everybody should just look at this and say, hey, 489 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 2: it's a little respite in wintertime. Take some pictures, play 490 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 2: in the snow with your kids or your grandkids, and 491 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 2: enjoy and enjoy the break that God has given us. 492 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 2: That's the way I'm that's the way I'm going to 493 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 2: look at it, as well as a Patriots victory in Denver. 494 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, Dan, I'm with it with you. Get 495 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 4: out with the kiros and build a snow man and 496 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 4: and and enjoy the time. And yeah, sure preparations.

Some 509 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 4: snow banding can bring Greater Boston closer to eighteen to 510 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 4: twenty two inches, So we're in for a doozy. 511 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 2: Good luck with d Well.

We've 523 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 2: talked about the weather. We're going to deal with now. 524 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 2: Right after the break here, we're going to talk with 525 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 2: doctor Emir Darvish, an emergency medical physician, director of Emergency 526 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 2: outter Sound at Tough's Medical Center. Safety tips to help 527 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 2: people avoid ending up in the er over the next 528 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 2: few days with the incoming snowstorm. This is Nightside. My 529 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 2: name's Dan ray Back right after. 530 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,880 Speaker 1: This, you're on Night Side with Dan Ray, I'm telling 531 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: you Boston's News Radio. 532 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 2: Well, we all know the snow is coming in. There's 533 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 2: no way to avoid it. As a matter of fact, 534 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 2: it's it's we are the bullseye, I guess, coming right 535 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 2: across the country, and many of us will probably want 536 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 2: to try to get out and do some things in 537 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 2: the snow, maybe fun things, or also maybe some things 538 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 2: that we feel we have to do, like shoveling a walk, 539 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 2: shoveling our driveway. I'm shoveling even simply front steps. However, 540 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 2: some of us might end up in the emergency room 541 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 2: over the next few days. How we can avoid that 542 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 2: with us as doctor Emir Darvish, he's an emergency Medican 543 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 2: medicine physician and director of Emergency OUTPHA Sound and Tufts 544 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,880 Speaker 2: Medical Center. Doctor Darvish, welcome back to Night's Side. How 545 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 2: are you this evening? 546 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 7: Well, thank you thanks for having me. 547 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 2: So what other than telling people to lay on the 548 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 2: couch and watch the patriots came? What what precautions can 549 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 2: people take? I'm sure that you are not looking forward 550 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 2: and your staff is not looking forward to treating people 551 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 2: in the emergency room. But I have a friend of 552 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 2: mine who always warns me about shoveling. She says, don't shovel, 553 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 2: don't shovel, don't shovel, but sometimes you have to shovel 554 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 2: a little bit. What's the best advice that you can 555 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 2: give to anyone out there? And I know we have 556 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 2: young people, old people, people in great shape, people who 557 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 2: maybe are not in such great in shape. But what's 558 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 2: what's the overarching theme? 559 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 7: Well, get your teenagers out of bed and have them 560 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 7: do the shoveling. 561 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 2: Now you're talking. My kids are no longer teenagers, unfortunately, 562 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 2: and they didn't do much shove them when they were teenagers. Whatever. 563 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 2: That's that's a personal story, so we'll leave that one alone. 564 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 2: That's the that's that's the best piece of advice. Do 565 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 2: you have teenagers? 566 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 7: I do, Actually I have. I have three of them. So, okay, 567 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 7: what's the secrets to get them out of bed? But 568 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 7: getting them out of bed is usually a big problem? 569 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 2: Okay, so uh, I guess the best thing would be 570 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 2: to use firecrackers in the house, but that can be 571 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 2: dangerous and we're not going to recommend that. All right, 572 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 2: pots and pants might work, I don't know, so other 573 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 2: than that from what should people be concerned about? 574 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,400 Speaker 7: Yeah, so you know, when when you're shoveling snow, obviously 575 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 7: when you get out in the cold environment, there's a 576 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 7: lot of stressors. So you know, people who are at 577 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 7: risk or people who have you know, history of you know, 578 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 7: cornary arter disease. You know, people who have history of 579 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 7: like hyper blood pressure, history of diabetes. Those people who 580 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 7: are at risk to have what we referred to as 581 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 7: cornary art disease. When you're under stressful environment and you're 582 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,280 Speaker 7: doing strenuous exercise activity that can put you at a 583 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:35,760 Speaker 7: really increased risk of developing a heart attack. So you know, 584 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 7: the combination of strenuous exercise in cold weather, very early 585 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,400 Speaker 7: in the morning is a bad recipe. 586 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 2: Okay, And now there I assume that even beyond that, 587 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 2: when this snow arrives, it's supposed to be followed by 588 00:33:55,320 --> 00:34:00,680 Speaker 2: some really cold weather. I mean you're talking about temperatures, 589 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:05,520 Speaker 2: if not actually under zero degrees, feeling like zero degrees. 590 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 2: People can can be exposed. As I'm not a dog, 591 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 2: nor do I play one of the radio, but I'm 592 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 2: told that people can be exposed to very cold temperature 593 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 2: and in a very quick period of time have problems 594 00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 2: with you know, extremities hands, face. 595 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, absolutely, yeah, and you know those you know, 596 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 7: particularly the prolonged exposure and also the extreme cold, you know, 597 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 7: puts definitely not only extremities, but like your nose, you know, 598 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 7: some of us have bigger nose than others, but your nose, 599 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,840 Speaker 7: your ears, you know, can you know, particularly those exposed areas, 600 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 7: when it's exposed for an extended period of time, can 601 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:54,879 Speaker 7: be an increased risk for frost snip, uh and frostbite, 602 00:34:55,840 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 7: you know. Frostnip is you know, usually just simply a 603 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 7: preliminary exposure where there's just a lot of kind of 604 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 7: the first signs there are usually a lot of pain, redness, 605 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 7: skin changes, and then once you start having really prolonged 606 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:20,160 Speaker 7: exposure to really cold weather, then you can develop tissue 607 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 7: damage and that's what we refer to as a frostbite. 608 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:23,439 Speaker 4: Yeah. 609 00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 2: And obviously exposure if you go outside and and and 610 00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 2: your face is uncovered, if you if you don't have 611 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 2: a scarf, and your necks uncovered and all of that 612 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 2: in really cold temperatures, prolonged exposure can be. 613 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 7: Really quick, it can be yes, So you know it 614 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,240 Speaker 7: has to do with you know, the severity of the cold, 615 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:52,240 Speaker 7: the windshield uh and the uh you know, the degree 616 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 7: of exposure so uh, you know, so usually it's a 617 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,920 Speaker 7: great idea to you know where you know, the classics 618 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,759 Speaker 7: free layer system. You know, so if you're you are 619 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 7: going to be out for an extended pier of time, 620 00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 7: like a base layer that has a moisturizing, wicking base 621 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:13,360 Speaker 7: layer and then the insulating layer like a wool or 622 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 7: a fleece, and then and an overcoat where you can 623 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 7: you know, have water and wind resistance that allows also 624 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 7: for moisture evaluation, particularly if it's you know, snowing or 625 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:30,799 Speaker 7: continue to snow, and you know, obviously wearing gloves or 626 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 7: even mittens, so gloves usually the mittens have less surface area, 627 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 7: so that you know, helps you know with the you know, 628 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:46,760 Speaker 7: with keeping your extremities warm and also avoiding very tight 629 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 7: clothing or footwear that kind of constricts blood flow. Those 630 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,239 Speaker 7: are the things to also avoid if you're going to 631 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 7: be out for an extended period of time. But obviously 632 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 7: the best thing to do is that to avoid it 633 00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 7: altogether if. 634 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,520 Speaker 2: You can, and if you are going to go out, 635 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 2: if you have some of the particularly if it gets icy, 636 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:10,239 Speaker 2: you know, good good footwear, boots and if you have 637 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 2: some some sort of uh I think they call them 638 00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 2: ice tracks that can be put on the bottom of 639 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 2: your boot. Whi's really on a very icy surface. 640 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:24,479 Speaker 7: Uh it can absolutely And that's that's the unfortunate part 641 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 7: is that, you know, particularly after the snow dies down, 642 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,360 Speaker 7: what we see is unfortunately in the emergency from a 643 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 7: lot of orthopedic injuries. So a lot of kind of 644 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 7: wrist fractures where people fall and they try to break 645 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 7: their fall with their outstretched arms, So wrist injuries. A 646 00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 7: lot of unfortunately, uh older people who fall and break 647 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 7: their hips or twist their ankles. You know, older patients 648 00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 7: typically have less bone desk than city so you know, 649 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:59,000 Speaker 7: a simple fall sometimes can you know, cause significant orthopedic injuries. 650 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,640 Speaker 7: And you know also head injuries unfortunately we see and 651 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 7: those you know can sometimes with older patients or patients 652 00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,240 Speaker 7: or i'm blood thinners, can be very traumatic. 653 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,799 Speaker 2: Well, thank you so much, doctor Darvish.
