As a follow up to our 10PM hour, as medicine and medical treatment evolves, are you interested in taking new tests that can tell you when you might develop a disease or condition? Would you want to know ahead of time or find out when symptoms arise?

Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's Nightside with Dan Ray. I'm telling you easy Boston.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Radio, baw yass up the duck boats. That could be
the turning point of the season tonight. You just never know.
We'll look back and say it all started on May thirtieth.
We'll see, We'll see. Okay, everybody, we have reached the
end of another week of Nightside. I was off two
nights this week, Wednesday and Thursday. I want to thank
(00:28):
again Gary Tangway for sitting in and allowing me to
go to an event in Canada in Montreal on Wednesday.
Night with that was a good friend of mine, Chris
Nylan presenting a one man show that was just an
(00:50):
amazing presentation. It will be posted, I'm sure at some
point it will receive, you know, a lot of reviews.
Chris basically told his life story. I had negotiated the
contract that gave him the option of doing this show
(01:10):
on terms that were I thought very favorable to him.
And I sat with my wife and with his wife
and a crowd of about six hundred people at a
fabulous venue in Montreal. And that's where I was for
two nights. So it was very important that I could
(01:31):
be there to watch this presentation take place. You may
see it at some point in the not too distant
future on I don't know one of the the the
channels on television. There. Again, I don't want to change anything,
but I think it certainly merits that there was a
(01:53):
very clear and strong message from Chris Nyland just to
see delivered strong messages on the isis and remember the
Watrial Canadians, other New York Rangers, the Boston Bruins, and
again the Montreal Canadians. He did a great job. He
held nothing back, which was his role as a player.
(02:14):
Just it was. It was quite a presentation. Anyway, This
was my third night, but this is our twentieth hour
of the week, so I'm kind of Gary Gary Tangways
four hours on Wednesday and four hours on Thursday. I
kind of addressed what that Gary talked about. But we've
had a week that started with a gentleman who climbed
(02:34):
Mount Everest. We talked with a sleep expert from Mass
General Brigham. We talked with the CEO of Scouting Boston.
We talked with a doctor about unhealthy air here on
the East Coast. We had a tribute to Memorial Day
on Monday night, at nine o'clock the meaning of Memorial Day.
Later on, and then at eleven o'clock we talked about
(02:56):
Kermit the Frog's commencement speech at the University of Maryland.
That will be our best of nightside on Sunday night.
It may not have been the best hour of the week,
but it was an interesting hour and it's one that
I think people who when they listen on Sunday night
will see that that we deal with a wide range
range of topics here on Nightside. On Tuesday night, we
(03:17):
talked with Mike Dean of Axios about the cost of
renting in Boston. Talked with the owner of a new
facility in Brockton. Talked with Kevin Paul DuPont, Boston Globe
writer and a columnist and Great Hockey analyst about what
(03:37):
needs to be done to fix the Bruins next season
beginning in October. Talked about waiters and others perhaps in
the new tax bill no longer having to pay taxes
on tips or workers who work overtime, and then we
(03:59):
talked about out two hours on Tuesday night, Donald Trump
really seems to have his focus on Harvard, and I
think he's wasting a lot of legitimate political capital on that.
We'll talk more about that, I'm sure next week. I
think that that for some reason he's not willing to
(04:20):
accept concessions that have been made by the administration at Harvard,
which I think is a mistake. And we talked about
empathy with an author, Jill Robin Payne at eleven o'clock
on Tuesday night. Earlier tonight, we talked with Zach Dole
of US News and World Report about the safest cars
that are out there for young people. Talk with Jerry Greenfield,
(04:44):
co owner of Ben and Jerry's, the Jerry of Ben
and Jerry's about the scuper Bowl next week here in Boston.
Talk with Jack Daugherty, the CEO of College Hype about
Dorchesterday this weekend and that was an integral day many
years ago that got Colledge hype off the ground. And
talk with Jonathan Oliver. If you're on the mass Turnpike
around one twenty eighth tonight, that construction work now has
(05:06):
been going on for about two hours and thirteen minutes.
I would love to hear a report from someone out
there who could tell me what the traffic situation is.
Rob you might if you would mind checking in with
our traffic people. I'd love to know if this is
going smoothly or if people did not pay attention to
(05:30):
the advisories that we talked about a couple of weeks
ago and talked about earlier tonight to avoid the Massachusetts
Turnpike Route one twenty eight area as they work the
Massachusets Department of Transportation works on the bridge on the
Newton West so called Newton Weston Bridge. Weston is in
the town of Western. We talked for an hour at
(05:52):
nine o'clock about the Market Basket family feud renewed and
the RDT the hero of Market Basket twenty fourteen has
been fired. And last hour with Kevin Soirelli, a futurist,
talking about Meet the Future, his group, his website Meet
the Future MTF dot tv, but talked about the future
(06:14):
of medicine. I thought it was a really good hour
last hour, So I'm going to open this up now.
Never done this before. I'm related an hour at ten
o'clock on a Friday night to the eleven o'clock hour.
Normally we go very light in the eleven o'clock hour,
and if we have to, we will, but I would
(06:37):
prefer to kind of spin off the eleven o'clock hour.
And as medicine improves, and as diagnostic medicine gets better,
my question is, would you want to know if indeed
(06:58):
there is a relatively simple tests for Alzheimer's or if
there's a simple test for any condition, neurologic condition, physical condition.
All of us as we age know that our bodies
are not, depending upon our age, are not as supple,
(07:23):
they're not as strong as they want they once were,
and that all of us as we get older feel
these aches and pains, and whether it's arthritis or rheumatism
or something more serious such as Alzheimer's. If there were tests,
would you want to know? And it could be tests
(07:45):
for more than Alzheimer's. Frankly there could be. There are
still they're a test right now for blood tests, which
I think are going to only get better. Where you
pay for these, These are not covered by insuring urrance.
They're not prohibitively expensive, but they certainly are expensive. They
are a few hundred dollars where you can have a
(08:07):
blood draw taken. And they believe that cancer cells that
are developing within your body, basically the cancer cells like
any cell flakes off, and that these blood tests have
the capacity to figure out if you have some cancer
(08:31):
cells that are beginning to develop. And the idea is
that with the blood tests, if they do detect cancer
cells that are flaking off and the presence of cancer cells,
it is much better to be diagnosed with cancer stage
one as opposed to cancer stage four, irrespective of what's
(08:54):
the cancer might be now. And again, I don't want
to end as a downer here at the end of
the week, okay, but I just I'd like to know,
And we don't have to do this if you don't
want to. My audience always decides what we want to do.
Think about this and think about whatever. Whether you want
to talk about a blood screen for cancer, or whether
(09:15):
you want to talk about a blood screen for Alzheimer's,
which apparently the FDA has now approved, I say the FDA,
not apparently the FDA has approved. How quickly that will
become available? Would you want to know at what age
would you begin to worry about it? Would you want
to know in your thirties that you had the propensity
(09:39):
to develop some disease? In your sixties, seventies, or eighties,
would that hang over you like a cloud. I certainly
wouldn't want to know at an early age. At the
same time, the advantage of knowing that is that you
could prepare a treatment plan or a treatment program for
something like that. I think there's some pretty good arguments
(10:02):
on both sides of this question that I'm asking. It
is a genuine a general, excuse me, a general Would
you want to know? It's as simple as that. Some
people may say, yes, I'd like to know so I
can anticipate it and treat it, plan for it, and
deal with it. And others may say, no, I don't
(10:25):
want to know. I would rather deal with whatever comes
along in my life when it comes along in my life,
and hopefully rely upon medicine. Obviously, if you were taking
an Alzheimer's test now at the age of let's say forty,
and it said yes, you have a predisposition thirty years
(10:46):
from now, again, assuming that it could be diagnosed, they
may come up with a cure for that disease in
that period of time. So I'm going to open the
lines up six months, two, five, four to ten thirty six, one, seven, nine, three, one,
ten thirty would you want to know? Uh, science is
(11:09):
wonderful advances in medicine are wonderful. Would you want to know?
Would you want to know how long you were going
to live? Maybe there'll be a test someday that will
say to you, Okay, you're now X number. You have
so many years left? I don't know. Would you want
(11:31):
to know? We'll take a quick break. It is a
very quick break, So dial now or forever hold your thoughts. Normally,
this is a different sort to question. You know, on
the eleven o'clock hour, everybody has a hall pass. So
if you called earlier this week, this is the hour
in which you can have a second call and not
be penalized for it. Coming back on nine side six one, seven, two, five,
(11:53):
four to ten thirty six one seven, nine three one
ten thirty, I simply throw the topics out if if
you respond adequately. If not, I'll figure something else out
for the final forty minutes of the week. Back on Nightside.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Right after this, It's night Side with Dan Ray on
ws Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Okay, now, all you folks out there who are sitting
and saying, I gotta wait to see what other people say.
Got a couple of folks who want to get this
going we'll either get it going or we won't. Six one, seven, five,
four dead thirty is the only line. Let me go
to a very brave Claudean in Beverly. Hi, Claude Dean,
Welcome to nightside. How are you?
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Thank you?
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Dan?
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I'm wonderful. How are you doing tonight?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I'm doing great. Great to hear your voice, and thanks
for calling in. I don't know if you've called in before,
but god, I needed your call in tonight to get
this conversation going. Oh are you thank you?
Speaker 3 (12:48):
I'm good. I know, I'm surprised I'm calling in. Okay,
first I talked fast, so and I'm growth stuff down
so I don't get all jumbled. But anyway, would you
like me to start with the Alzheimer's or.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Well, yeah, before you do, I got to ask you.
Have you call before it's your first time?
Speaker 3 (13:04):
No, I called them. Let's see, I called them that time.
I don't know how many years ago. It was maybe
like seven or eight years ago.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Okay, don't don't make it seven and eight years before
the next call. It might not be here.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
So hey, you know you never know, all right? Sure,
absolutely right? Oh you're funny. Okay, So, so you're saying
about like, you know, cancer cells, would you like to
have a blood test? Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
You know that don't exists, by the way, that right,
I know that, yeah today.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Yeah, yes, I know. Yeah. But I mean, if you're
like ten twelve, you know, we probably all deep in
somewhere in our tissues, even as kids have like some
sort of cancer cellf I mean, I'm making this up.
I have no idea it is medically true, but it
sounds right. I think it's first right, So do you
know what I'm saying, Like we have cancer cells because
shells are dying all the time, and they might not
(13:56):
affect you, right, So some people can have cancer and
it doesn't do any you know, it doesn't them in
the way that you would think. So but but yeah, so,
And I also clearly answered these questions because you know
what I mean, like, I'm the answer I am. Now.
I can't say, well, if I was when I was thirty,
if I found out, I was gonna have to mention,
you know, because that's it can only answer for how
(14:17):
I feel about right now of course, And I'm you know,
I'm how old I am? I half a century old?
So but so my life is like going towards the end.
So you know, and if I I'm sorry, I'm okay.
Oh okay.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
So I think what you're saying, I'm sorry, Hold just
take a deep breath. I think what you're saying is
that at different points in your life you.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
May feel differently, right.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I remember when I was in my twenties, you feel
like not I'm never going to have a problem with anything.
But what happens, Yeah, there you do develop problems and
hopefully you deal with them and you and you move
on the the the idea of the blood test with
(15:15):
with cancer off is that if you do have a
positive test, that you would find out about stage one
as opposed to stage four. But so go ahead tell you.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Absolutely thank you for doing that. Yes that it was
very helpful. I'm very okay. So but I was saying,
oh god, I forgot right. Yes, it's faking off. If
you want to know, oh well right now, I mean
like if I if I'm sonto had dementia, then you
can probably you know, you can the cancer self. There
either one I personally, I think it depends on like
(15:50):
if you want to have you know, treatments and you
know radiation. But I can't say I'd ever want to
go through that, even if it was stage one. I
mean so, I mean stage one is that, you know what,
they just do a simple procedure.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
And I said, well, you know, well, I think when
I think when we talked about stage one, in stage four,
when you hear someone is diagnosed with a serious cancer, okay, yeah,
it's almost like they're going to say to you, look,
this is stage four. This is going to be difficult.
We're going to have to be much more invasive and
and you're gonna have to do whatever. Whereas if if,
(16:27):
if your your chances of actually beating any of those
horrific diseases are increased the earlier you find out. In
Joe Biden's case, I'm just using that as an example.
Apparently doing prostate tests, they didn't even do the simple
PSA blood test on him, and from what I've read,
(16:50):
uh he's now eighty two, that if they had just
simply done the PSA tests on him, they would have
seen a spike in his PSA and that would have
said to them, this needs to be investigated.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
But that's that's shameful, and he's a you know, present,
you a private doctor it.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Is, I mean, because that's yeah, that that isn't that
is insane. So come back to you to our situation
and your situation. Would you would you want to know?
Would you rather let nature run its course? Because that's
really the alternative. If you say I don't want to know,
then what you're saying is leave my I'll leave my
(17:29):
faith to nature or God or whatever you might believe in.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Right, Well, I would want to know, but it's it's
I don't know. I mean, you could set up for
assist suicide. I guess at the end of it. It's
really bad. I know that's kind of morbid, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
What I mean.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I mean like I wouldn't want to. I think that's fearful.
If you have nine, you get Alzheimer's my name, I
have it, I have people in my family. It's it's
a horrible disease. But it's I don't I think if
I got to a point and be like, okay, just
put it a little over my head, like you know,
rep apart with everybody, or if I'm really really sick
and it cancers my curable, I don't know, it's good.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, these are these are tough questions there are. There
are countries around the world. I have a good friend
of mine who a few months ago told me that
he was going to travel to Switzerland to end it
his life legally. And I said to him, look, I
just let's let's go to breakfast and we can talk
about it. He says, I know, you talk me out
of it, and he's still uh still here uh and
(18:36):
and I am going to reach out to him and
just say, hey, you know, let's let's go to breakfast
and let's let's talk about it. I don't know exactly
what his condition is and all of that.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
So, yeah, you have to go through two years, like
two years psychiatry thing or something like that.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Before they I think it in Switzerland it's a little easier,
but I'm I'm not. But you know, I think it's
all almost Maybe it's it's almost become. You know how
a lot of women from China come here to have
their children so that the child can be a US citizen.
The reverse is kind of true with some of these
(19:13):
other countries where you can go and you can end
your life. I guess yes, with a lot less red
tape and regulation. But again, I don't want to I
don't want to depress so many people here.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
No no, no, no, no, no, no, not at all.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
So you sound to me like you're you're on defence.
You're on defense.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
No, well no, I mean I can say for myself again,
I get I'm really a non compliant patient when you know,
like when I go to my doctor, I'm like, I
don't feel like I'm a physical I just I'm like
saying them, but I show up to the appointment because
I don't want to, you know, cancel the last minute,
and so I just you know, so for them, you know,
(19:54):
for them to you know, because you're a simple bloodcess.
That's fine. As I get older, though, I've noticed they're
finding more and more, you know what I'm saying like this,
and I'm like, what the hell. I'm like, you know,
itchs and change is one thing, but like you know,
when you're looking inside my body and finding stuff, I
really don't you know, I'm like, oh, but here is
the same thing for benedive, Like they give you like diabetes,
(20:15):
Like if you New York diabetes, would you take the
necessary measures? It's kind of the same that you are
too horrible, Like don't wish them anyway. Things I can
answer dementia.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
That's why these are these are difficult things. Just these
a difficult question. Just you are. You're a perfect caller
right now because you're struggling on air with it, and
there were people out there who are struggling on uh
not on air. But there's the answer. Isn't as quick
and easy as people would think.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Answer right away?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
No, no, no, I did great. You did great. And
I'll tell you you You've said the phone lines of
lit up for me, which I really right.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Yes, you know.

up there as well. It's one of the most most
beautiful college campuses I've ever been on.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
So yeah, it's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (21:36):

speech at Endicott College in two thousand and eight. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Wow, that's amazing. That's that's stables while.
Speaker 2 (22:03):

It's important. Thanks Funny, and we'll talk again.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Thankank youkay, good bye, bye bye.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
All right, we gotta we got news to the bodily hour.
People have risen the occasion. The only line that's open
in six one seven, be back on night Side right after.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
This side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Thank you our grip, and let me go to Laurie
you know and Idaho. Laurie. You were next on Nightside.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Welcome well, thank you and welcome back.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Yeah, haven't gone too long, but missed my aud yet.
So what you take would you want to know?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
No?
Speaker 6 (23:10):
Yeah, and if it's something, if it's a cancer or
something that you know, stage one, it's something that has
a true path to recovery or or being in you know,
whatever for a long time. But Alzheimer's now, because right now,
I mean obviously my mother had it, so right now
I have a hope that it never happens. If I
(23:32):
find a gene that says, yeah, it's going to happen,
then your hope is hinged on every single stupid tast experiment, success,
whatever the g and it's constantly you know, it's just
such it for constant disappointment, disappointment. I'm just gonna just
hope it never happens.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yeah. No, I'm kind of where you are on that.
You got to kind of put your faith and and
live life, and I think you try to do you
best you can to. I don't know the member of
your family that had it, did they have a set lifestyle?
(24:08):
You know? If I don't think your lifestyle is sedative,
it sounds to.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
Me like you're, well, my mother didn't either. I mean,
it was my mom and she didn't either have long
where it came from. But but no, I don't. And
so I'm just gonna, you know, go with the body
God gave me.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
And yeah, yeah, I still think there are things that
you can do intellectually and physically. I think by being active,
that's that's a plus.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
Well that is my lifestyle anyway.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Yeah, yeah, No, I know that living in Idaho, I
know that you're you're getting out in the fresh air
and all that and uh and I and I know
from our phone conversations that you're a very bright person
who has a lot of interest. And yeah, I mean
I think that's helpful. Uh again, you know, if if
we're all going to draw one bad card from the deck,
(24:57):
that's for sure nobody gets right. So I hate to
sound like a fatalist, but.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
No, you're right, No one lives forever. Yeah, I can
make it to seventy five eighty eighty one, that would
be cool.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah, I think I think you'll make it well beyond that. Okay, Hey,
thanks Laurie, as always appreciates you your loyalty into this program.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
Okay, well, it's an interesting an interesting segue to night
interesting topic so yeah, but and I have friends who
are like, oh no, no, I want to find out
everything and I have to have it, you know, life
stating that all this other stuff, like the stress that
would stress me out more than anything.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
So yeah, I think stress skills. I think I'm somebody
who gets stressed a lot, both in terms of my
job and and that's the probably the only aspect of
my job that I don't like, because I feel that.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
Yeah, you know, you'll hear a perfectionist. You need to perform.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Well, there is that, and there's there's also you just
want to If I don't get butterflies before the show,
then I don't think I've prepped enough for it. You know,
I have aught about everything what's going on. I just
my nightmare as you open up the phone and and
that's the night that there's some news story that that
you just have no knowledge of or you haven't even
(26:10):
heard about, and someone did you know that whatever fill
in the blanket is no, that really happened. I'm I
have that that need. I want to be not an
ego thing, is I just want to be ahead of
the curb so that anything that we're going to talk about,
And that's why. I really enjoyed Kevin Sarelli, the futurist.
(26:30):
I mean there was stuff I learned. Yo. Yeah. He
he's a young guy too, by the way. He's only,
like i'm guess now, thirty thirty two years old, but
very smart. And I've learned a lot from him the
two times we've had him on the show, and we'll
have him on again, that's for sure. Thanks, Lurie, talks soon.
We'll talk soon. Good night. All right, let me keep
(26:51):
broly here. I got I got Steve in New Jersey.
He's Steve. Welcome back. How are you are you? Heading south?
Speaker 7 (26:57):
He headon north and north. We got ourselves our canvoy.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Do you really?
Speaker 4 (27:03):
That's when I get well, when I.
Speaker 7 (27:04):
Get to New York City, probably back to back traffic,
you know, bump and a bump of four lanes were
then four feet of each other. I mean it would
make a regular person in my past seats very nervous.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Well, but you can handle it now. Remember they're starting
the work on the mass Turnpike in one twenty eight.
You got to avoid that.
Speaker 7 (27:23):
Oh, I don't even go down there. I'm four ninety
five all the way.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
No, okay, I figured you would be chance. No, no,
this heard me. This is the way I gotta give.
And again, if there's anybody out there who's who finds
themselves now stuck in that traffic, give us a call. So, Steve,
would you want to know or know?
Speaker 8 (27:41):
What do you think?
Speaker 4 (27:43):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Well, what do you think? I think You're gonna let
me think for a second here. I think you will say, no.
Speaker 7 (27:51):
Oh, I'm sorry, you don't win the million dollar prize,
mister Dan.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
You would want to know.
Speaker 7 (27:56):
I would want to know. In the advancement of medicine,
if I knew I had something, and you know, early prevention, Okay,
I'd like to attack it, you know.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
And okay, well sometimes about that's assuming that everything that
you would find out would have a cure.
Speaker 7 (28:16):
I still would want to know.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Okay, so you're a yes, okay, all right?
Speaker 7 (28:22):
Yeah, Hey, just want to let you know that it's
been pouring crazy going down to Philadelphia and Baltimore and
coming back is literally raining coyotes and deer.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Well, I'll tell you. I looked at the I looked
at the ABC Nightly News tonight and they were they
had some video on there of the stuff that's been
going on down and in the you know, in the
in this the plane States, and on up through the Carolinas,
and we're supposed to get it tomorrow. But the good
(28:55):
news is they're saying it's going to blow in late tonight.
It hasn't started here yet and it'll be done by noontime.
That's one more.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
Oh sorry, I'll always rush you because I feel like
I'm right, But I just want to tell you a
really loving story. Driving down two nights ago around Auburn, Maine,
I looked over to the right and there was a
little bamby over there and he it wasn't raining, but
he had his head down and it was like missing
his mommy. So I prayed to God instantly that God
(29:27):
would protect that little baby and not let a wolf
for Kyo he get him. He was so cute, but
he was he was so sad.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
So it was there was no mama dear around huh.
Speaker 7 (29:39):
I didn't see you on she she was coming up
toward the road on the grassy pot beside the road,
but she was so cute to the little banby. I
never see bambyes. I always see deer. But anyways, it
was just a I just wanted to get out of
the truck and go pick her up and take her
home and see her milk.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, today I saw someone who had there was a
snapping turtle by my gym, and they were relocating the
snapping turtle. The snapping turtle was right near the driveway
and it looked as if the snapping turtle was trying
to I'm assuming it was a female getting ready to
lay some eggs. And they moved the snapping turtle safely
to a better location.
Speaker 7 (30:22):
So the person that moved the turtle has eight fingers.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
No, he's the guy that runs the club. And he
was very careful. He was very careful. You gotta be
careful too, Okay, well, Steve talk soon be well. They said,
good night. All right, let's keep rolling. He I got
Bill and Danvers. Bill you next on nightside. Would you
want to know?
Speaker 8 (30:44):
Absolutely, I wouldn't have a problem with that. I would
prefer a Canta diagnosis rather than Alzheimer's. But I'd want
to know, and dependent on you know, the situations. You know,
I always check it what the lawyer is and make
sure everything he's organized and stuff, and even you know,
I'm a very organized guy. And and and if it
(31:06):
was a cancer, that was real crazy. And you know
they said, well you maybe get seventy percent chance and stuff.
I've just seen enough of my life where the individual
they say, well to getting the treatments and he maybe
got six or eight months more or a year or
whatever they say, which who knows even if that's accurate,
(31:27):
and their quality of life for that last year or
two was a horror show. So I would deny treatments
and h that's it. I mean, you know, I take
a trip every year and I have a bucket list,
and hopefully I've accomplished most of it. That unfortunate situation arises.
It's not like I have anyone here I have to
worry about or that.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
So you've got to figure it out, you know.
Speaker 8 (31:50):
I mean, it's medicine. You know that, you know when
you know? So it depending on how it plays out,
you know what I mean. So I ask him at
the gym right now. I just got to love the
mind in so really, I keep a good yeah, yeah,
I'm almost done a plan of fitness, and uh, you know,
I do the stairs and I do the weights. I
do one hundred and something push ups.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
A day and stuff.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
So uh, good for you.
Speaker 8 (32:13):
Not bad for a guy that's fifty.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
You know. So you you're a young man. Come on,
you got you got decades, buddy, you got decades.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (32:21):
I mean, well, the government better hope day decide because
you know, I keep paying. You know they're gonna need
guys like me.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Because but you know, hopefully there'll be money there for
you to collect. Okay, that's the other thing too, that's
the other end I cry.
Speaker 8 (32:35):
I mean, you know, I was with my financial advice
earlier this week. You know they're running the numbers. They
you know, they make it sound good. But I don't
know if we'll get there, but we'll say. Who knows,
you know.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Bill appreciate, Have a good night, have a good weekend,
Stay dry. Thanks Bill, Touch you soon. All right, I
got four left. We're gonna get them all in. Uh,
Christine and Geo and Melinda and John h only one
line and if you get in up, got to get
you in as well. Six one, seven thirty quick break,
very quick break, and we're coming back Melinda and then Geo,
(33:08):
uh and then John and then Christine. That's the bat
and order. We'll be back on night side.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
Right after this, you're on night Side with Dan Ray
on WBZ, Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
All right, let's get everybody in. Next up, Melinda and Quincy. Melinda,
you are an extra Nightside, Go.
Speaker 9 (33:25):
Right ahead, Hi, Dan, Yeah, Hi, I called, and I
did I know it's Friday night. It would be a
certain topic. What exactly is the exact topic?
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Well, we we had an eleven o'clock at ten o'clock
hour with a fellow who talked about the future of
medicine and some of the great strides that have been
made where they can tell you in advance. The FDA
has just approved a blood test. It's not available, but
it will be available soon in which people will be
able to be diagnosed apparently and told whether or not
(33:57):
they would eventually get Also the other way, there are
other disease There are other tests out there, blood tests
that tell you if you have cancer cells percolating, better
to find out it's stage one than stage four. And
so the question is would you want to know?
Speaker 9 (34:14):
Oh? Wow, okay, I thought the question is going to
be would you want to know? All right, I was
going to say I'd want to know. I would definitely
want to know that I had something. But now that
it's this bit of a taking the test and that
I'm kind of thinking, I don't I don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Well we're talking about simple tests, blood.
Speaker 9 (34:33):
Test, a regular blood test, regular blood test, and they
were going to tell me something. Yeah, all right, okay
then yeah, yeah, then I want to know, definitely, because
then you can plan, you can plan how much time
you have left and get everything in order. And my
dog and I'd want to know who's going to everything.
You're going to find out some day. Some days that's
(34:54):
going to hit you that you could get something. So
I'd rather know.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Yeah, I don't think anyone dies in this li but
one hundred and twenty anymore, you know, maybe.
Speaker 9 (35:02):
Yeah, yeah, but it's it's I'm going to ask you
a quick question you mentioned in Asia a minute a
little while ago. I was wonder if one night you
could that could be a question. How many people would
take that? How many people would like that in a
choice or not?
Speaker 6 (35:18):
Like?
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Okay, so you're talking when you're talking about ethan Asian,
you're talking about asistant suicide.
Speaker 9 (35:22):
Yes, yeah, okay, well I would really like I would,
And I just want to say that man who loved
the little bandy there. Thank you for being that kind
of guy, because yeah, Steve's.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
A great guy. Steve's one of our regular listeners.
Speaker 9 (35:34):
Become animals and that's nice.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Call more often. Okay, thanks, thank you, love for you boys.
Let me go to Geo and Endo. But Geo got
your email the other day. Meant to respond to it.
Sorry about that. Would you want to know?
Speaker 4 (35:48):
Uh? Yes, As a matter of fact, years ago, I
had a diagnosis at a major boar at a major
north shore hospital that goes all the way down to
Burlington of something and they said, oh, you definitely have it.
And I said, you know, I did some research and
pcr is. I used to sell laboratory equipment to data
(36:08):
Farma to do DNA sequencing and stuff, so I'm very
into research and clinical testing. I said. The specialty in
the country is the Mayo Clinic. I would request that
you send a sample there. It came back and they said, yeah,
you definitely have it. I said, can I see the report?
Can I see the paperwork? They showed me the paperwork
(36:28):
and it said in the report, this test is indicative
of but not a proof of a diagnosis. The diagnosis
will need to be done using this as a guide
and a rationalization to observe and do further testing and
(36:48):
observation and trial cures and treatments, etc. Etc. So you
have to understand what the context is when you're looking
at something very serious beyond that. By the way, I
grew up in Beverly and I had a car and
(37:12):
the girls on the campus in nineteen sixty five said,
you and your friends have an impoler with wire wheels.
We want to be driven around in it. So there's
a house on campus. We know that you can rent it,
and so we did. But more to the point, actually
I had not intended to call you about this. But
(37:34):
years ago I spoke to Diana Desauglio. And the day
Seth Moulten got elected, he and I stand in that
stood in the dark, waving at each other as he
waited for you to talk to me, and you cut
from me to him directly. So today, today, today I
was a small world. I happened to be in reading.
(37:55):
I happened to turn into the side of a stopping
shop and six cameras were there. And I do videography
of baseball, football basketball at a high school level. And
I bowed my window down and the reporter with the
blonde hair and the red dress was standing there and
(38:16):
I asked her to come over to the car. What
is this about? And she said, we're doing a thing
on market Basket. I said, oh, I know a lot
of people at market Basket. There's a Telemarchus Demula's laboratory
wing in the mass General Hospital. So we went back
and forth, and another person started talking to me and
(38:38):
I said, so, what is happening. Who is the gentleman
over there in the suit. She said, he's on the air.
So you saw him every time you looked at the news.
Today he came over and he spoke to me, and
I asked him three questions and he said, you know,
Ray Geo, I can't answer them here, but if you
call my office, I will talk to you on Monday.
(39:01):
We're not open this afternoon and no one will be
back in the office.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
And Jill fast, fascinating story, but I got four other people.
I want to give my half a second.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
Bore you do? Would you want to interview him Monday
or Tuesday?
Speaker 2 (39:14):
No? No, no, okay, have a good weekend. I gotta run. Wait,
have a good weekend, Jill, I gotta run. I gotta run.
I'll answer your email. Okay, I promise, thanks much. Let's
go next to John and Maine. Johnny gotta be quick
for me.
Speaker 4 (39:28):
Go ahead, John, I'll try to be quick. Dan. The
answer is yes, I would want to know. Okay, I'm
sort of I'm going through it right now and eight old.
You know, they keep looking, they keep finding things.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
You know.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
That's that's the deal, that's the problem.
Speaker 4 (39:44):
That's the way. But it really shows the importance of
your primary. People really need to have a very good
relationship with their primary because there's a lot to discuss.
There's a lot of them out there, you know. Just
one of the last thing, Dan, there's something called the
Depth Cafe which is taking place internationally and it's it's
(40:10):
just a meeting of people just sort of facing up
to the fact that we're not, you know, immortal. Yeah so,
but it's a I think it's very interesting thing. I'm
going to go to the one at the York Library,
Drew to keep us.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Postal, keep us postally, maybe do something some night, Okay.
Speaker 4 (40:31):
Yes, worth looking into Hey, thanks for the show as.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Always, job, appreciate very much. Christine. We got to be quick.
Would you want to know Christine.
Speaker 10 (40:40):
Yes, because my dad died from all timers in Parkinson's disease,
and now my mom had some dementia in the nothing home.
So I would like to know just to see what
you know, what's the plan.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
And the future.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
And most of my callers feel the same way. Christine,
you have joined a group of virtus. All my calls
tonight have said yes. I think there's one or two no's,
but most of them have said.
Speaker 6 (41:05):
Yes, yes, Yes.
Speaker 10 (41:08):
The weekend D two.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
Stage stage dry Christine, Thanks much, have a great one.
Let me go, bucking bluster Buck. You gotta be quick
for me here and we're running out of town.
Speaker 7 (41:18):
I can be quick, and it's yes.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
And you are fantastic.
Speaker 8 (41:21):
You make every week great.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
That's it, Thanks buddy, That's that's that's I should end
the show on that, but I get one more. Thanks,
bunket pal, be good, be good, be good. All right,
have a great week of Stage drive, Last of the week,
Last of the week, tim go right ahead, Tim, would
you want to know?
Speaker 5 (41:37):
I want to just tell you I got some wounded
Wyriott project. I got a blanket from it, says the
United States of America Wounded Wyyre Project. I got away
from wald Ept Lieutenant General Us. I'MI retired chief executive officer. Anyhow,
I'm a wounded Wayer person.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
All right, Tim, thank you, thank you for that service.
Appreciate it very much. All Right, we are done for
the week and I am done for the night. Rob,
thank you very much. We had a little bit of
rough start tonight, but I think we settle the ship
of state. We're good. I'm back next week all next week,
Monday through Friday, no substitutes, just me. You got to
(42:22):
deal with me Monday through Friday, eight to midnight. Thank

your pets are who had passed. They loved you and
you love them, and I do believe you're going to
see them again. Hope to see you again on Monday Night.
(42:42):
Have a great weekend, stay dry again. Thanks to Rob,
thanks to Marita, and most importantly, thanks to all the listeners,
and even most importantly thanks to all the callers. I
will be on Facebook on night Side with Dan Ray
in just a couple of minutes. Have a great weekend everyone,
It's Nightside with Dan Ray. I'm telling you easy Boston.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Radio, baw yass up the duck boats. That could be
the turning point of the season tonight. You just never know.
We'll look back and say it all started on May thirtieth.
We'll see, We'll see. Okay, everybody, we have reached the
end of another week of Nightside. I was off two
nights this week, Wednesday and Thursday. I want to thank
(00:28):
again Gary Tangway for sitting in and allowing me to
go to an event in Canada in Montreal on Wednesday.
Night with that was a good friend of mine, Chris
Nylan presenting a one man show that was just an
(00:50):
amazing presentation. It will be posted, I'm sure at some
point it will receive, you know, a lot of reviews.
Chris basically told his life story. I had negotiated the
contract that gave him the option of doing this show
(01:10):
on terms that were I thought very favorable to him.
And I sat with my wife and with his wife
and a crowd of about six hundred people at a
fabulous venue in Montreal. And that's where I was for
two nights. So it was very important that I could
(01:31):
be there to watch this presentation take place. You may
see it at some point in the not too distant
future on I don't know one of the the the
channels on television. There. Again, I don't want to change anything,
but I think it certainly merits that there was a
(01:53):
very clear and strong message from Chris Nyland just to
see delivered strong messages on the isis and remember the
Watrial Canadians, other New York Rangers, the Boston Bruins, and
again the Montreal Canadians. He did a great job. He
held nothing back, which was his role as a player.
(02:14):
Just it was. It was quite a presentation. Anyway, This
was my third night, but this is our twentieth hour
of the week, so I'm kind of Gary Gary Tangways
four hours on Wednesday and four hours on Thursday. I
kind of addressed what that Gary talked about. But we've
had a week that started with a gentleman who climbed
(02:34):
Mount Everest. We talked with a sleep expert from Mass
General Brigham. We talked with the CEO of Scouting Boston.
We talked with a doctor about unhealthy air here on
the East Coast. We had a tribute to Memorial Day
on Monday night, at nine o'clock the meaning of Memorial Day.
Later on, and then at eleven o'clock we talked about
(02:56):
Kermit the Frog's commencement speech at the University of Maryland.
That will be our best of nightside on Sunday night.
It may not have been the best hour of the week,
but it was an interesting hour and it's one that
I think people who when they listen on Sunday night
will see that that we deal with a wide range
range of topics here on Nightside. On Tuesday night, we
(03:17):
talked with Mike Dean of Axios about the cost of
renting in Boston. Talked with the owner of a new
facility in Brockton. Talked with Kevin Paul DuPont, Boston Globe
writer and a columnist and Great Hockey analyst about what
(03:37):
needs to be done to fix the Bruins next season
beginning in October. Talked about waiters and others perhaps in
the new tax bill no longer having to pay taxes
on tips or workers who work overtime, and then we
(03:59):
talked about out two hours on Tuesday night, Donald Trump
really seems to have his focus on Harvard, and I
think he's wasting a lot of legitimate political capital on that.
We'll talk more about that, I'm sure next week. I
think that that for some reason he's not willing to
(04:20):
accept concessions that have been made by the administration at Harvard,
which I think is a mistake. And we talked about
empathy with an author, Jill Robin Payne at eleven o'clock
on Tuesday night. Earlier tonight, we talked with Zach Dole
of US News and World Report about the safest cars
that are out there for young people. Talk with Jerry Greenfield,
(04:44):
co owner of Ben and Jerry's, the Jerry of Ben
and Jerry's about the scuper Bowl next week here in Boston.
Talk with Jack Daugherty, the CEO of College Hype about
Dorchesterday this weekend and that was an integral day many
years ago that got Colledge hype off the ground. And
talk with Jonathan Oliver. If you're on the mass Turnpike
around one twenty eighth tonight, that construction work now has
(05:06):
been going on for about two hours and thirteen minutes.
I would love to hear a report from someone out
there who could tell me what the traffic situation is.
Rob you might if you would mind checking in with
our traffic people. I'd love to know if this is
going smoothly or if people did not pay attention to
(05:30):
the advisories that we talked about a couple of weeks
ago and talked about earlier tonight to avoid the Massachusetts
Turnpike Route one twenty eight area as they work the
Massachusets Department of Transportation works on the bridge on the
Newton West so called Newton Weston Bridge. Weston is in
the town of Western. We talked for an hour at
(05:52):
nine o'clock about the Market Basket family feud renewed and
the RDT the hero of Market Basket twenty fourteen has
been fired. And last hour with Kevin Soirelli, a futurist,
talking about Meet the Future, his group, his website Meet
the Future MTF dot tv, but talked about the future
(06:14):
of medicine. I thought it was a really good hour
last hour, So I'm going to open this up now.
Never done this before. I'm related an hour at ten
o'clock on a Friday night to the eleven o'clock hour.
Normally we go very light in the eleven o'clock hour,
and if we have to, we will, but I would
(06:37):
prefer to kind of spin off the eleven o'clock hour.
And as medicine improves, and as diagnostic medicine gets better,
my question is, would you want to know if indeed
(06:58):
there is a relatively simple tests for Alzheimer's or if
there's a simple test for any condition, neurologic condition, physical condition.
All of us as we age know that our bodies
are not, depending upon our age, are not as supple,
(07:23):
they're not as strong as they want they once were,
and that all of us as we get older feel
these aches and pains, and whether it's arthritis or rheumatism
or something more serious such as Alzheimer's. If there were tests,
would you want to know? And it could be tests
(07:45):
for more than Alzheimer's. Frankly there could be. There are
still they're a test right now for blood tests, which
I think are going to only get better. Where you
pay for these, These are not covered by insuring urrance.
They're not prohibitively expensive, but they certainly are expensive. They
are a few hundred dollars where you can have a
(08:07):
blood draw taken. And they believe that cancer cells that
are developing within your body, basically the cancer cells like
any cell flakes off, and that these blood tests have
the capacity to figure out if you have some cancer
(08:31):
cells that are beginning to develop. And the idea is
that with the blood tests, if they do detect cancer
cells that are flaking off and the presence of cancer cells,
it is much better to be diagnosed with cancer stage
one as opposed to cancer stage four, irrespective of what's
(08:54):
the cancer might be now. And again, I don't want
to end as a downer here at the end of
the week, okay, but I just I'd like to know,
And we don't have to do this if you don't
want to. My audience always decides what we want to do.
Think about this and think about whatever. Whether you want
to talk about a blood screen for cancer, or whether
(09:15):
you want to talk about a blood screen for Alzheimer's,
which apparently the FDA has now approved, I say the FDA,
not apparently the FDA has approved. How quickly that will
become available? Would you want to know at what age
would you begin to worry about it? Would you want
to know in your thirties that you had the propensity
(09:39):
to develop some disease? In your sixties, seventies, or eighties,
would that hang over you like a cloud. I certainly
wouldn't want to know at an early age. At the
same time, the advantage of knowing that is that you
could prepare a treatment plan or a treatment program for
something like that. I think there's some pretty good arguments
(10:02):
on both sides of this question that I'm asking. It
is a genuine a general, excuse me, a general Would
you want to know? It's as simple as that. Some
people may say, yes, I'd like to know so I
can anticipate it and treat it, plan for it, and
deal with it. And others may say, no, I don't
(10:25):
want to know. I would rather deal with whatever comes
along in my life when it comes along in my life,
and hopefully rely upon medicine. Obviously, if you were taking
an Alzheimer's test now at the age of let's say forty,
and it said yes, you have a predisposition thirty years
(10:46):
from now, again, assuming that it could be diagnosed, they
may come up with a cure for that disease in
that period of time. So I'm going to open the
lines up six months, two, five, four to ten thirty six, one, seven, nine, three, one,
ten thirty would you want to know? Uh, science is
(11:09):
wonderful advances in medicine are wonderful. Would you want to know?
Would you want to know how long you were going
to live? Maybe there'll be a test someday that will
say to you, Okay, you're now X number. You have
so many years left? I don't know. Would you want
(11:31):
to know? We'll take a quick break. It is a
very quick break, So dial now or forever hold your thoughts. Normally,
this is a different sort to question. You know, on
the eleven o'clock hour, everybody has a hall pass. So
if you called earlier this week, this is the hour
in which you can have a second call and not
be penalized for it. Coming back on nine side six one, seven, two, five,
(11:53):
four to ten thirty six one seven, nine three one
ten thirty, I simply throw the topics out if if
you respond adequately. If not, I'll figure something else out
for the final forty minutes of the week. Back on Nightside.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Right after this, It's night Side with Dan Ray on
ws Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Okay, now, all you folks out there who are sitting
and saying, I gotta wait to see what other people say.
Got a couple of folks who want to get this
going we'll either get it going or we won't. Six one, seven, five,
four dead thirty is the only line. Let me go
to a very brave Claudean in Beverly. Hi, Claude Dean,
Welcome to nightside. How are you?
Speaker 3 (12:35):
Thank you?
Speaker 4 (12:35):
Dan?
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I'm wonderful. How are you doing tonight?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
I'm doing great. Great to hear your voice, and thanks
for calling in. I don't know if you've called in before,
but god, I needed your call in tonight to get
this conversation going. Oh are you thank you?
Speaker 3 (12:48):
I'm good. I know, I'm surprised I'm calling in. Okay,
first I talked fast, so and I'm growth stuff down
so I don't get all jumbled. But anyway, would you
like me to start with the Alzheimer's or.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Well, yeah, before you do, I got to ask you.
Have you call before it's your first time?
Speaker 3 (13:04):
No, I called them. Let's see, I called them that time.
I don't know how many years ago. It was maybe
like seven or eight years ago.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Okay, don't don't make it seven and eight years before
the next call. It might not be here.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
So hey, you know you never know, all right? Sure,
absolutely right? Oh you're funny. Okay, So, so you're saying
about like, you know, cancer cells, would you like to
have a blood test? Blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
You know that don't exists, by the way, that right,
I know that, yeah today.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Yeah, yes, I know. Yeah. But I mean, if you're
like ten twelve, you know, we probably all deep in
somewhere in our tissues, even as kids have like some
sort of cancer cellf I mean, I'm making this up.
I have no idea it is medically true, but it
sounds right. I think it's first right, So do you
know what I'm saying, Like we have cancer cells because
shells are dying all the time, and they might not
(13:56):
affect you, right, So some people can have cancer and
it doesn't do any you know, it doesn't them in
the way that you would think. So but but yeah, so,
And I also clearly answered these questions because you know
what I mean, like, I'm the answer I am. Now.
I can't say, well, if I was when I was thirty,
if I found out, I was gonna have to mention,
you know, because that's it can only answer for how
(14:17):
I feel about right now of course, And I'm you know,
I'm how old I am? I half a century old?
So but so my life is like going towards the end.
So you know, and if I I'm sorry, I'm okay.
Oh okay.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
So I think what you're saying, I'm sorry, Hold just
take a deep breath. I think what you're saying is
that at different points in your life you.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
May feel differently, right.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
I remember when I was in my twenties, you feel
like not I'm never going to have a problem with anything.
But what happens, Yeah, there you do develop problems and
hopefully you deal with them and you and you move
on the the the idea of the blood test with
(15:15):
with cancer off is that if you do have a
positive test, that you would find out about stage one
as opposed to stage four. But so go ahead tell you.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Absolutely thank you for doing that. Yes that it was
very helpful. I'm very okay. So but I was saying,
oh god, I forgot right. Yes, it's faking off. If
you want to know, oh well right now, I mean
like if I if I'm sonto had dementia, then you
can probably you know, you can the cancer self. There
either one I personally, I think it depends on like
(15:50):
if you want to have you know, treatments and you
know radiation. But I can't say I'd ever want to
go through that, even if it was stage one. I
mean so, I mean stage one is that, you know what,
they just do a simple procedure.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
And I said, well, you know, well, I think when
I think when we talked about stage one, in stage four,
when you hear someone is diagnosed with a serious cancer, okay, yeah,
it's almost like they're going to say to you, look,
this is stage four. This is going to be difficult.
We're going to have to be much more invasive and
and you're gonna have to do whatever. Whereas if if,
(16:27):
if your your chances of actually beating any of those
horrific diseases are increased the earlier you find out. In
Joe Biden's case, I'm just using that as an example.
Apparently doing prostate tests, they didn't even do the simple
PSA blood test on him, and from what I've read,
(16:50):
uh he's now eighty two, that if they had just
simply done the PSA tests on him, they would have
seen a spike in his PSA and that would have
said to them, this needs to be investigated.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
But that's that's shameful, and he's a you know, present,
you a private doctor it.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Is, I mean, because that's yeah, that that isn't that
is insane. So come back to you to our situation
and your situation. Would you would you want to know?
Would you rather let nature run its course? Because that's
really the alternative. If you say I don't want to know,
then what you're saying is leave my I'll leave my
(17:29):
faith to nature or God or whatever you might believe in.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Right, Well, I would want to know, but it's it's
I don't know. I mean, you could set up for
assist suicide. I guess at the end of it. It's
really bad. I know that's kind of morbid, you know.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
What I mean.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I mean like I wouldn't want to. I think that's fearful.
If you have nine, you get Alzheimer's my name, I
have it, I have people in my family. It's it's
a horrible disease. But it's I don't I think if
I got to a point and be like, okay, just
put it a little over my head, like you know,
rep apart with everybody, or if I'm really really sick
and it cancers my curable, I don't know, it's good.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, these are these are tough questions there are. There
are countries around the world. I have a good friend
of mine who a few months ago told me that
he was going to travel to Switzerland to end it
his life legally. And I said to him, look, I
just let's let's go to breakfast and we can talk
about it. He says, I know, you talk me out
of it, and he's still uh still here uh and
(18:36):
and I am going to reach out to him and
just say, hey, you know, let's let's go to breakfast
and let's let's talk about it. I don't know exactly
what his condition is and all of that.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
So, yeah, you have to go through two years, like
two years psychiatry thing or something like that.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Before they I think it in Switzerland it's a little easier,
but I'm I'm not. But you know, I think it's
all almost Maybe it's it's almost become. You know how
a lot of women from China come here to have
their children so that the child can be a US citizen.
The reverse is kind of true with some of these
(19:13):
other countries where you can go and you can end
your life. I guess yes, with a lot less red
tape and regulation. But again, I don't want to I
don't want to depress so many people here.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
No no, no, no, no, no, no, not at all.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
So you sound to me like you're you're on defence.
You're on defense.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
No, well no, I mean I can say for myself again,
I get I'm really a non compliant patient when you know,
like when I go to my doctor, I'm like, I
don't feel like I'm a physical I just I'm like
saying them, but I show up to the appointment because
I don't want to, you know, cancel the last minute,
and so I just you know, so for them, you know,
(19:54):
for them to you know, because you're a simple bloodcess.
That's fine. As I get older, though, I've noticed they're
finding more and more, you know what I'm saying like this,
and I'm like, what the hell. I'm like, you know,
itchs and change is one thing, but like you know,
when you're looking inside my body and finding stuff, I
really don't you know, I'm like, oh, but here is
the same thing for benedive, Like they give you like diabetes,
(20:15):
Like if you New York diabetes, would you take the
necessary measures? It's kind of the same that you are
too horrible, Like don't wish them anyway. Things I can
answer dementia.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
That's why these are these are difficult things. Just these
a difficult question. Just you are. You're a perfect caller
right now because you're struggling on air with it, and
there were people out there who are struggling on uh
not on air. But there's the answer. Isn't as quick
and easy as people would think.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Answer right away?
Speaker 2 (20:48):
No, no, no, I did great. You did great. And
I'll tell you you You've said the phone lines of
lit up for me, which I really right.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Yes, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:58):
Well, thank you very much. You have helped us out
here tonight. And do me a favor be a more
frequent caller. Okay, don't wait too many years, Thanks Claudie.

me oh my god, hello, But I know your regular words.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
It's a beautiful it's a beautiful town. It is a
nice yeah there. And I'm very familiar with Endicott College
up there as well. It's one of the most most
beautiful college campuses I've ever been on.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
So yeah, it's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
I actually I actually went to school there for a
little while, but yeahs beautiful. Yeah, look by Lynch President.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
President Wiley built that school and.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Uhe such a great guy.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Oh I knew him well, knew him well, had him
on the show many times. I actually delivered a commencement
speech at Endicott College in two thousand and eight. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Wow, that's amazing. That's that's stables while.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
They their Their commencement speaker this year was Captain Sully,
the fellow who flew the plane at landed today. Yeah. Yeah,
I like that, great commencement speaker. Go goals, go goals.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
So yeah, but you con meant anyway. So you have
a wonderful night, and we're both still here.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
It's important. Thanks Funny, and we'll talk again.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Thankank youkay, good bye, bye bye.
Speaker 2 (22:34):
All right, we gotta we got news to the bodily hour.
People have risen the occasion. The only line that's open
in six one seven, be back on night Side right after.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
This side with Dan Ray on Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Thank you our grip, and let me go to Laurie
you know and Idaho. Laurie. You were next on Nightside.
Speaker 6 (22:56):
Welcome well, thank you and welcome back.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Yeah, haven't gone too long, but missed my aud yet.
So what you take would you want to know?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
No?
Speaker 6 (23:10):
Yeah, and if it's something, if it's a cancer or
something that you know, stage one, it's something that has
a true path to recovery or or being in you know,
whatever for a long time. But Alzheimer's now, because right now,
I mean obviously my mother had it, so right now
I have a hope that it never happens. If I
(23:32):
find a gene that says, yeah, it's going to happen,
then your hope is hinged on every single stupid tast experiment, success,
whatever the g and it's constantly you know, it's just
such it for constant disappointment, disappointment. I'm just gonna just
hope it never happens.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Yeah. No, I'm kind of where you are on that.
You got to kind of put your faith and and
live life, and I think you try to do you
best you can to. I don't know the member of
your family that had it, did they have a set lifestyle?
(24:08):
You know? If I don't think your lifestyle is sedative,
it sounds to.
Speaker 6 (24:12):
Me like you're, well, my mother didn't either. I mean,
it was my mom and she didn't either have long
where it came from. But but no, I don't. And
so I'm just gonna, you know, go with the body
God gave me.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
And yeah, yeah, I still think there are things that
you can do intellectually and physically. I think by being active,
that's that's a plus.
Speaker 6 (24:35):
Well that is my lifestyle anyway.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
Yeah, yeah, No, I know that living in Idaho, I
know that you're you're getting out in the fresh air
and all that and uh and I and I know
from our phone conversations that you're a very bright person
who has a lot of interest. And yeah, I mean
I think that's helpful. Uh again, you know, if if
we're all going to draw one bad card from the deck,
(24:57):
that's for sure nobody gets right. So I hate to
sound like a fatalist, but.
Speaker 6 (25:03):
No, you're right, No one lives forever. Yeah, I can
make it to seventy five eighty eighty one, that would
be cool.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah, I think I think you'll make it well beyond that. Okay, Hey,
thanks Laurie, as always appreciates you your loyalty into this program.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
Okay, well, it's an interesting an interesting segue to night
interesting topic so yeah, but and I have friends who
are like, oh no, no, I want to find out
everything and I have to have it, you know, life
stating that all this other stuff, like the stress that
would stress me out more than anything.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
So yeah, I think stress skills. I think I'm somebody
who gets stressed a lot, both in terms of my
job and and that's the probably the only aspect of
my job that I don't like, because I feel that.
Speaker 6 (25:45):
Yeah, you know, you'll hear a perfectionist. You need to perform.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Well, there is that, and there's there's also you just
want to If I don't get butterflies before the show,
then I don't think I've prepped enough for it. You know,
I have aught about everything what's going on. I just
my nightmare as you open up the phone and and
that's the night that there's some news story that that
you just have no knowledge of or you haven't even
(26:10):
heard about, and someone did you know that whatever fill
in the blanket is no, that really happened. I'm I
have that that need. I want to be not an
ego thing, is I just want to be ahead of
the curb so that anything that we're going to talk about,
And that's why. I really enjoyed Kevin Sarelli, the futurist.
(26:30):
I mean there was stuff I learned. Yo. Yeah. He
he's a young guy too, by the way. He's only,
like i'm guess now, thirty thirty two years old, but
very smart. And I've learned a lot from him the
two times we've had him on the show, and we'll
have him on again, that's for sure. Thanks, Lurie, talks soon.
We'll talk soon. Good night. All right, let me keep
(26:51):
broly here. I got I got Steve in New Jersey.
He's Steve. Welcome back. How are you are you? Heading south?
Speaker 7 (26:57):
He headon north and north. We got ourselves our canvoy.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
Do you really?
Speaker 4 (27:03):
That's when I get well, when I.
Speaker 7 (27:04):
Get to New York City, probably back to back traffic,
you know, bump and a bump of four lanes were
then four feet of each other. I mean it would
make a regular person in my past seats very nervous.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Well, but you can handle it now. Remember they're starting
the work on the mass Turnpike in one twenty eight.
You got to avoid that.
Speaker 7 (27:23):
Oh, I don't even go down there. I'm four ninety
five all the way.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
No, okay, I figured you would be chance. No, no,
this heard me. This is the way I gotta give.
And again, if there's anybody out there who's who finds
themselves now stuck in that traffic, give us a call. So, Steve,
would you want to know or know?
Speaker 8 (27:41):
What do you think?
Speaker 4 (27:43):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Well, what do you think? I think You're gonna let
me think for a second here. I think you will say, no.
Speaker 7 (27:51):
Oh, I'm sorry, you don't win the million dollar prize,
mister Dan.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
You would want to know.
Speaker 7 (27:56):
I would want to know. In the advancement of medicine,
if I knew I had something, and you know, early prevention, Okay,
I'd like to attack it, you know.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
And okay, well sometimes about that's assuming that everything that
you would find out would have a cure.
Speaker 7 (28:16):
I still would want to know.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Okay, so you're a yes, okay, all right?
Speaker 7 (28:22):
Yeah, Hey, just want to let you know that it's
been pouring crazy going down to Philadelphia and Baltimore and
coming back is literally raining coyotes and deer.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Well, I'll tell you. I looked at the I looked
at the ABC Nightly News tonight and they were they
had some video on there of the stuff that's been
going on down and in the you know, in the
in this the plane States, and on up through the Carolinas,
and we're supposed to get it tomorrow. But the good
(28:55):
news is they're saying it's going to blow in late tonight.
It hasn't started here yet and it'll be done by noontime.
That's one more.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
Oh sorry, I'll always rush you because I feel like
I'm right, But I just want to tell you a
really loving story. Driving down two nights ago around Auburn, Maine,
I looked over to the right and there was a
little bamby over there and he it wasn't raining, but
he had his head down and it was like missing
his mommy. So I prayed to God instantly that God
(29:27):
would protect that little baby and not let a wolf
for Kyo he get him. He was so cute, but
he was he was so sad.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
So it was there was no mama dear around huh.
Speaker 7 (29:39):
I didn't see you on she she was coming up
toward the road on the grassy pot beside the road,
but she was so cute to the little banby. I
never see bambyes. I always see deer. But anyways, it
was just a I just wanted to get out of
the truck and go pick her up and take her
home and see her milk.
Speaker 5 (29:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, today I saw someone who had there was a
snapping turtle by my gym, and they were relocating the
snapping turtle. The snapping turtle was right near the driveway
and it looked as if the snapping turtle was trying
to I'm assuming it was a female getting ready to
lay some eggs. And they moved the snapping turtle safely
to a better location.
Speaker 7 (30:22):
So the person that moved the turtle has eight fingers.
Speaker 2 (30:26):
No, he's the guy that runs the club. And he
was very careful. He was very careful. You gotta be
careful too, Okay, well, Steve talk soon be well. They said,
good night. All right, let's keep rolling. He I got
Bill and Danvers. Bill you next on nightside. Would you
want to know?
Speaker 8 (30:44):
Absolutely, I wouldn't have a problem with that. I would
prefer a Canta diagnosis rather than Alzheimer's. But I'd want
to know, and dependent on you know, the situations. You know,
I always check it what the lawyer is and make
sure everything he's organized and stuff, and even you know,
I'm a very organized guy. And and and if it
(31:06):
was a cancer, that was real crazy. And you know
they said, well you maybe get seventy percent chance and stuff.
I've just seen enough of my life where the individual
they say, well to getting the treatments and he maybe
got six or eight months more or a year or
whatever they say, which who knows even if that's accurate,
(31:27):
and their quality of life for that last year or
two was a horror show. So I would deny treatments
and h that's it. I mean, you know, I take
a trip every year and I have a bucket list,
and hopefully I've accomplished most of it. That unfortunate situation arises.
It's not like I have anyone here I have to
worry about or that.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
So you've got to figure it out, you know.
Speaker 8 (31:50):
I mean, it's medicine. You know that, you know when
you know? So it depending on how it plays out,
you know what I mean. So I ask him at
the gym right now. I just got to love the
mind in so really, I keep a good yeah, yeah,
I'm almost done a plan of fitness, and uh, you know,
I do the stairs and I do the weights. I
do one hundred and something push ups.
Speaker 4 (32:11):
A day and stuff.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
So uh, good for you.
Speaker 8 (32:13):
Not bad for a guy that's fifty.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
You know. So you you're a young man. Come on,
you got you got decades, buddy, you got decades.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 8 (32:21):
I mean, well, the government better hope day decide because
you know, I keep paying. You know they're gonna need
guys like me.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Because but you know, hopefully there'll be money there for
you to collect. Okay, that's the other thing too, that's
the other end I cry.
Speaker 8 (32:35):
I mean, you know, I was with my financial advice
earlier this week. You know they're running the numbers. They
you know, they make it sound good. But I don't
know if we'll get there, but we'll say. Who knows,
you know.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Right after this, you're on night Side with Dan Ray
on WBZ, Boston's news radio.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
All right, let's get everybody in. Next up, Melinda and Quincy. Melinda,
you are an extra Nightside, Go.
Speaker 9 (33:25):
Right ahead, Hi, Dan, Yeah, Hi, I called, and I
did I know it's Friday night. It would be a
certain topic. What exactly is the exact topic?
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Well, we we had an eleven o'clock at ten o'clock
hour with a fellow who talked about the future of
medicine and some of the great strides that have been
made where they can tell you in advance. The FDA
has just approved a blood test. It's not available, but
it will be available soon in which people will be
able to be diagnosed apparently and told whether or not
(33:57):
they would eventually get Also the other way, there are
other disease There are other tests out there, blood tests
that tell you if you have cancer cells percolating, better
to find out it's stage one than stage four. And
so the question is would you want to know?
Speaker 9 (34:14):
Oh? Wow, okay, I thought the question is going to
be would you want to know? All right, I was
going to say I'd want to know. I would definitely
want to know that I had something. But now that
it's this bit of a taking the test and that
I'm kind of thinking, I don't I don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Well we're talking about simple tests, blood.
Speaker 9 (34:33):
Test, a regular blood test, regular blood test, and they
were going to tell me something. Yeah, all right, okay
then yeah, yeah, then I want to know, definitely, because
then you can plan, you can plan how much time
you have left and get everything in order. And my
dog and I'd want to know who's going to everything.
You're going to find out some day. Some days that's
(34:54):
going to hit you that you could get something. So
I'd rather know.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Yeah, I don't think anyone dies in this li but
one hundred and twenty anymore, you know, maybe.
Speaker 9 (35:02):
Yeah, yeah, but it's it's I'm going to ask you
a quick question you mentioned in Asia a minute a
little while ago. I was wonder if one night you
could that could be a question. How many people would
take that? How many people would like that in a
choice or not?
Speaker 6 (35:18):
Like?
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Okay, so you're talking when you're talking about ethan Asian,
you're talking about asistant suicide.
Speaker 9 (35:22):
Yes, yeah, okay, well I would really like I would,
And I just want to say that man who loved
the little bandy there. Thank you for being that kind
of guy, because yeah, Steve's.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
A great guy. Steve's one of our regular listeners.
Speaker 9 (35:34):
Become animals and that's nice.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Call more often. Okay, thanks, thank you, love for you boys.
Let me go to Geo and Endo. But Geo got
your email the other day. Meant to respond to it.
Sorry about that. Would you want to know?
Speaker 4 (35:48):
Uh? Yes, As a matter of fact, years ago, I
had a diagnosis at a major boar at a major
north shore hospital that goes all the way down to
Burlington of something and they said, oh, you definitely have it.
And I said, you know, I did some research and
pcr is. I used to sell laboratory equipment to data
(36:08):
Farma to do DNA sequencing and stuff, so I'm very
into research and clinical testing. I said. The specialty in
the country is the Mayo Clinic. I would request that
you send a sample there. It came back and they said, yeah,
you definitely have it. I said, can I see the report?
Can I see the paperwork? They showed me the paperwork
(36:28):
and it said in the report, this test is indicative
of but not a proof of a diagnosis. The diagnosis
will need to be done using this as a guide
and a rationalization to observe and do further testing and
(36:48):
observation and trial cures and treatments, etc. Etc. So you
have to understand what the context is when you're looking
at something very serious beyond that. By the way, I
grew up in Beverly and I had a car and
(37:12):
the girls on the campus in nineteen sixty five said,
you and your friends have an impoler with wire wheels.
We want to be driven around in it. So there's
a house on campus. We know that you can rent it,
and so we did. But more to the point, actually
I had not intended to call you about this. But
(37:34):
years ago I spoke to Diana Desauglio. And the day
Seth Moulten got elected, he and I stand in that
stood in the dark, waving at each other as he
waited for you to talk to me, and you cut
from me to him directly. So today, today, today I
was a small world. I happened to be in reading.
(37:55):
I happened to turn into the side of a stopping
shop and six cameras were there. And I do videography
of baseball, football basketball at a high school level. And
I bowed my window down and the reporter with the
blonde hair and the red dress was standing there and
(38:16):
I asked her to come over to the car. What
is this about? And she said, we're doing a thing
on market Basket. I said, oh, I know a lot
of people at market Basket. There's a Telemarchus Demula's laboratory
wing in the mass General Hospital. So we went back
and forth, and another person started talking to me and
(38:38):
I said, so, what is happening. Who is the gentleman
over there in the suit. She said, he's on the air.
So you saw him every time you looked at the news.
Today he came over and he spoke to me, and
I asked him three questions and he said, you know,
Ray Geo, I can't answer them here, but if you
call my office, I will talk to you on Monday.
(39:01):
We're not open this afternoon and no one will be
back in the office.
Speaker 2 (39:04):
And Jill fast, fascinating story, but I got four other people.
I want to give my half a second.
Speaker 4 (39:10):
Bore you do? Would you want to interview him Monday
or Tuesday?
Speaker 2 (39:14):
No? No, no, okay, have a good weekend. I gotta run. Wait,
have a good weekend, Jill, I gotta run. I gotta run.
I'll answer your email. Okay, I promise, thanks much. Let's
go next to John and Maine. Johnny gotta be quick
for me.
Speaker 4 (39:28):
Go ahead, John, I'll try to be quick. Dan. The
answer is yes, I would want to know. Okay, I'm
sort of I'm going through it right now and eight old.
You know, they keep looking, they keep finding things.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
You know.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
That's that's the deal, that's the problem.
Speaker 4 (39:44):
That's the way. But it really shows the importance of
your primary. People really need to have a very good
relationship with their primary because there's a lot to discuss.
There's a lot of them out there, you know. Just
one of the last thing, Dan, there's something called the
Depth Cafe which is taking place internationally and it's it's
(40:10):
just a meeting of people just sort of facing up
to the fact that we're not, you know, immortal. Yeah so,
but it's a I think it's very interesting thing. I'm
going to go to the one at the York Library,
Drew to keep us.
Speaker 2 (40:27):
Postal, keep us postally, maybe do something some night, Okay.
Speaker 4 (40:31):

Yes, because my dad died from all timers in Parkinson's disease,
and now my mom had some dementia in the nothing home.
So I would like to know just to see what
you know, what's the plan.
Speaker 4 (40:53):
