00:11.440 --> 00:13.440
What's up, sunshine? Happy Friday.

00:13.440 --> 00:16.080
Friday. Yay. It is a very special Friday

00:16.080 --> 00:17.920
for many of us because we're about to

00:17.920 --> 00:19.600
get some extra time off. Maybe some

00:19.600 --> 00:21.840
extra sleep for Thanksgiving break just

00:21.840 --> 00:23.680
around the corner. I hope you get some

00:23.680 --> 00:26.160
good family and friends time and uh some

00:26.160 --> 00:28.000
really good grubbin, too. In honor of

00:28.000 --> 00:30.400
the holiday, let's start the show with a

00:30.400 --> 00:32.000
Thanksgiving.

00:32.000 --> 00:34.399
Did you know? Did you know the first

00:34.399 --> 00:37.760
Thanksgiving took place way back in 1621

00:37.760 --> 00:40.399
in Plymouth, Massachusetts? A bountiful

00:40.399 --> 00:42.800
harvest led Governor William Bradford to

00:42.800 --> 00:45.440
plan a festival to give thanks. Around

00:45.440 --> 00:47.760
90, Wampenogs, the Native American

00:47.760 --> 00:50.000
people indigenous to that region, joined

00:50.000 --> 00:53.360
for a 3-day feast which featured corn,

00:53.360 --> 00:56.480
venison, and fowl. In 1789, President

00:56.480 --> 00:58.559
George Washington proclaimed November

00:58.559 --> 01:01.760
26th as a day of national Thanksgiving.

01:01.760 --> 01:04.720
Fast forward to 1939, President Franklin

01:04.720 --> 01:07.680
Delano Roosevelt moved it up a week in a

01:07.680 --> 01:09.760
bid to boost the Christmas shopping

01:09.760 --> 01:12.720
season. Say what? Talk about a new deal.

01:12.720 --> 01:15.119
Then in 1941, Congress officially

01:15.119 --> 01:17.520
declared Thanksgiving a federal holiday

01:17.520 --> 01:19.759
and moved it back to the last Thursday

01:19.759 --> 01:21.600
of the month where it remains to this

01:21.600 --> 01:23.920
day. Okay, now let's get to the part of

01:23.920 --> 01:25.680
Thanksgiving that just might be the best

01:25.680 --> 01:28.400
part for some of us. The food. Did you

01:28.400 --> 01:30.479
know turkeyy's most famous side dish

01:30.479 --> 01:32.560
wasn't even at the first Thanksgiving?

01:32.560 --> 01:35.040
We're talking mashed potatoes. Now, the

01:35.040 --> 01:37.520
root cause of this issue, potatoes are

01:37.520 --> 01:39.280
native to South America, and the

01:39.280 --> 01:41.200
spectacular spuds didn't make their way

01:41.200 --> 01:45.960
to North America until the 1700s.

01:46.320 --> 01:48.479
Pop quiz hot shot. what is widely

01:48.479 --> 01:49.920
considered the first commercially

01:49.920 --> 01:52.399
successful arcade video game. Pong,

01:52.399 --> 01:57.079
Space Invaders, Pac-Man, or Asteroids.

01:59.600 --> 02:02.240
If you said Pong, you serving. Based on

02:02.240 --> 02:04.240
table tennis, Atari installed the first

02:04.240 --> 02:07.040
Pong machine in 1972 at a restaurant in

02:07.040 --> 02:09.280
Sunnyale, California, where it stopped

02:09.280 --> 02:11.280
working after just a few days because

02:11.280 --> 02:13.280
its coin box was jammed with too many

02:13.280 --> 02:15.840
quarters. As many of you head into a

02:15.840 --> 02:18.000
well-deserved break this Thanksgiving, a

02:18.000 --> 02:19.360
lot of us might spend some time playing

02:19.360 --> 02:21.520
some video games, maybe on our phone,

02:21.520 --> 02:23.680
computer, a gaming console. Well, check

02:23.680 --> 02:25.680
this out. A new study out of Hong Kong

02:25.680 --> 02:28.080
shows that spending too much time binge

02:28.080 --> 02:30.000
gaming as it's called, could have some

02:30.000 --> 02:32.400
serious consequences on our moods and

02:32.400 --> 02:34.560
our quality of sleep. So, how much is

02:34.560 --> 02:36.480
too much? I caught up with the doctor,

02:36.480 --> 02:38.560
my friend Dr. Sanjay Gupta, to help us

02:38.560 --> 02:40.319
understand and acquire some knowledge

02:40.319 --> 02:42.879
that might help us out. Check it out. Is

02:42.879 --> 02:45.200
gaming entirely bad? Are there any

02:45.200 --> 02:46.560
positives to playing games? I

02:46.560 --> 02:47.760
>> I think there there are and we're

02:47.760 --> 02:49.200
starting to see more of that as you see

02:49.200 --> 02:51.120
more and more people who are gaming. By

02:51.120 --> 02:54.560
the way, about 80% of people game and

02:54.560 --> 02:56.480
about four and 10 people, 40% are doing

02:56.480 --> 02:58.239
it every day. So, you know, this this is

02:58.239 --> 03:00.480
a pretty common thing, but I think it's

03:00.480 --> 03:02.239
surprising why people are doing it.

03:02.239 --> 03:03.200
They're obviously doing it for the

03:03.200 --> 03:05.040
enjoyment of gaming, but overall there's

03:05.040 --> 03:07.599
some some real benefits. 72% are

03:07.599 --> 03:09.599
actually doing it to play with others.

03:09.599 --> 03:10.959
That kind of surprised me because you

03:10.959 --> 03:12.239
think of that as sort of a solitary

03:12.239 --> 03:14.720
activity. 42% say they've actually made

03:14.720 --> 03:18.080
friends online. 32% say it's helped

03:18.080 --> 03:19.920
their mental health. So, you know, we're

03:19.920 --> 03:21.200
starting to get data on this because I

03:21.200 --> 03:22.400
think there were a lot of assumptions

03:22.400 --> 03:24.239
made about gaming and now we're starting

03:24.239 --> 03:26.959
to see the real world. At the same time,

03:26.959 --> 03:29.120
there are concerns about attention and

03:29.120 --> 03:31.760
depression and overall impact on mental

03:31.760 --> 03:32.879
health in the long term.

03:32.879 --> 03:34.879
>> Right. Yeah. It's uh one of those things

03:34.879 --> 03:37.360
that it can create fellowship, right?

03:37.360 --> 03:38.799
someone who may be sitting right next to

03:38.799 --> 03:41.120
you. My neighbor and I, we call it broa.

03:41.120 --> 03:42.959
Instead of yoga together, we're doing

03:42.959 --> 03:44.560
broa. We're playing a game, spending

03:44.560 --> 03:46.239
some quality time. It definitely can

03:46.239 --> 03:48.080
bring people together even who are in

03:48.080 --> 03:49.840
different states or countries. What is

03:49.840 --> 03:51.519
interesting to me, Koi, is that when

03:51.519 --> 03:54.080
someone starts gaming, they often times

03:54.080 --> 03:55.920
are really quite attentive to that and

03:55.920 --> 03:57.760
that can actually help build those

03:57.760 --> 03:59.680
attentive areas of the brain.

03:59.680 --> 04:01.599
Interestingly, as you get better at the

04:01.599 --> 04:03.519
game, as you sort of go into default

04:03.519 --> 04:05.439
mode because you're so good at it, it

04:05.439 --> 04:06.720
can actually start to decrease

04:06.720 --> 04:08.720
attention. So, two things can be

04:08.720 --> 04:10.640
happening in the brain sort of over time

04:10.640 --> 04:13.200
from gaming. First, maybe more positive

04:13.200 --> 04:14.799
and then second, interestingly, as you

04:14.799 --> 04:16.959
get better at it, actually decreased

04:16.959 --> 04:18.799
activity in certain areas of the brain.

04:18.799 --> 04:20.880
>> Let's dig more into that. Uh talk about

04:20.880 --> 04:22.960
some of the downsides of binge gaming.

04:22.960 --> 04:24.880
Okay, we know some things in moderation

04:24.880 --> 04:26.639
generally maybe not bad for you, but

04:26.639 --> 04:29.280
when you're going all out all day on a

04:29.280 --> 04:30.800
game, what are some of the downsides?

04:30.800 --> 04:33.440
>> I think the the headline here is that

04:33.440 --> 04:35.759
when people are starting to to border on

04:35.759 --> 04:38.720
what is known as a gaming use disorder,

04:38.720 --> 04:40.800
it typically means that they are no

04:40.800 --> 04:42.880
longer able to do things in their normal

04:42.880 --> 04:45.199
life without gaming getting in the way.

04:45.199 --> 04:46.720
I think that's the that's the the

04:46.720 --> 04:48.479
biggest thing to sort of measure. I am

04:48.479 --> 04:50.080
gaming right now. Should I be doing

04:50.080 --> 04:51.440
something else? And for students

04:51.440 --> 04:53.520
obviously their homework, their sleep,

04:53.520 --> 04:55.360
their social interaction with family and

04:55.360 --> 04:57.600
friends, real life interaction, that's

04:57.600 --> 04:59.280
when you know it's typically a problem.

04:59.280 --> 05:01.040
And the threshold seems to be somewhere

05:01.040 --> 05:04.080
around 3 hours a day. So which is a lot,

05:04.080 --> 05:05.759
you know, uh it's a lot of screen time

05:05.759 --> 05:07.919
just on the games. But when once you get

05:07.919 --> 05:09.280
beyond that point where you're starting

05:09.280 --> 05:11.120
to see it interfere with activities of

05:11.120 --> 05:13.039
daily life as it's called, that's when

05:13.039 --> 05:15.680
it becomes problematic. Sometimes I get

05:15.680 --> 05:17.360
the same sort of feeling from a

05:17.360 --> 05:19.360
competitive aspect and a wanting to win

05:19.360 --> 05:21.440
aspect when I played in the NFL. It's

05:21.440 --> 05:23.919
kind of that same that that um you know

05:23.919 --> 05:25.759
pressure to perform and you know my

05:25.759 --> 05:27.759
teammates are relying on me. Can I get a

05:27.759 --> 05:30.320
good score for the team? So that's

05:30.320 --> 05:31.919
personally what I feel at times.

05:31.919 --> 05:33.440
>> I imagine that some of the same areas in

05:33.440 --> 05:35.039
your brain that were activating when you

05:35.039 --> 05:36.560
played football, obviously it's a very

05:36.560 --> 05:38.080
physical game, but some of the same

05:38.080 --> 05:40.479
brain areas were probably activated in

05:40.479 --> 05:42.639
gaming. show us like what parts get

05:42.639 --> 05:45.280
activated or what kind of hormones might

05:45.280 --> 05:46.639
be released as you're start playing

05:46.639 --> 05:47.039
games.

05:47.039 --> 05:48.320
>> So there's all these different areas of

05:48.320 --> 05:49.600
the brain. The thing about gaming is

05:49.600 --> 05:50.960
that so many different areas are being

05:50.960 --> 05:52.800
activated. So first of all, just in

05:52.800 --> 05:54.240
general, this is the last part of your

05:54.240 --> 05:56.080
brain to develop frontal loes and

05:56.080 --> 05:58.639
prefrontal areas and that's your that's

05:58.639 --> 06:00.400
your judgment and that's also

06:00.400 --> 06:02.639
inhibition. So in the beginning you may

06:02.639 --> 06:04.400
have more inhibition because you're sort

06:04.400 --> 06:06.160
of figuring out the game. As you get

06:06.160 --> 06:08.160
better and better at it, your inhibition

06:08.160 --> 06:10.639
may start to go down. Now you need

06:10.639 --> 06:12.560
inhibition in life. So if you get too

06:12.560 --> 06:15.280
disinhibited that could be problematic.

06:15.280 --> 06:17.360
Uh you got visual cortex which is near

06:17.360 --> 06:19.440
the back of the brain. You have spatial

06:19.440 --> 06:20.960
areas which is on the right side of the

06:20.960 --> 06:23.440
brain. But I think a big one koi is

06:23.440 --> 06:25.199
really sort of more at the base of the

06:25.199 --> 06:27.520
brain which is your emotions your

06:27.520 --> 06:29.840
amydala. And these games can be very

06:29.840 --> 06:31.680
stimulating uh to that particular area

06:31.680 --> 06:35.440
of the brain. So again uh in moderation

06:35.440 --> 06:37.199
it appears to be a good balance between

06:37.199 --> 06:39.600
inhibition emotional centers and all the

06:39.600 --> 06:42.080
other things once you start to overdo it

06:42.080 --> 06:44.560
and interestingly when it becomes rote

06:44.560 --> 06:46.240
that's when a lot of these areas sort of

06:46.240 --> 06:48.479
will decrease in activity instead of

06:48.479 --> 06:50.479
increasing. So that that's a little

06:50.479 --> 06:52.160
counterintuitive but that's essentially

06:52.160 --> 06:53.680
what's what seems to be happening over

06:53.680 --> 06:54.080
time.

06:54.080 --> 06:55.440
>> And for all the people out there not as

06:55.440 --> 06:57.600
smart as you who don't know what rote is

06:57.600 --> 06:58.160
really quick

06:58.160 --> 07:00.000
>> wrote just uh routine just something

07:00.000 --> 07:00.639
routine

07:00.639 --> 07:02.160
>> learn something new every day. There you

07:02.160 --> 07:02.720
go. It

07:02.720 --> 07:04.080
>> it is interesting if you just look at

07:04.080 --> 07:07.440
games overall, puzzles overall, uh word

07:07.440 --> 07:09.199
puzzles, crossword puzzles, soduku,

07:09.199 --> 07:11.360
things like that. Um people think of

07:11.360 --> 07:14.160
those as brain training exercises, which

07:14.160 --> 07:15.680
they can be. I mean, they can actually

07:15.680 --> 07:17.759
make you better at, you know, words or

07:17.759 --> 07:19.039
numbers or whatever it might be that

07:19.039 --> 07:20.400
you're doing. So, I think that's

07:20.400 --> 07:22.960
probably the closest sort of thing. The

07:22.960 --> 07:25.280
difference I think between video games

07:25.280 --> 07:27.280
and those things is again video games

07:27.280 --> 07:29.840
are really designed through the imagery,

07:29.840 --> 07:31.120
through the way that they move you up

07:31.120 --> 07:32.400
level to level

07:32.400 --> 07:33.759
>> to keep you hooked,

07:33.759 --> 07:35.199
>> to keep you addictive. I don't think

07:35.199 --> 07:37.520
anyone's ever been overly overly

07:37.520 --> 07:39.440
addicted to a cross word puzzle, but you

07:39.440 --> 07:41.440
sort of do it, you move on. Video games

07:41.440 --> 07:42.240
are different.

07:42.240 --> 07:44.560
>> I love it. I get smarter every time I'm

07:44.560 --> 07:46.240
around you. I'm so glad our viewers get

07:46.240 --> 07:47.599
to enjoy you as well.

07:47.599 --> 07:50.639
>> I try not to be ro try not to be ro.

07:50.639 --> 07:52.319
>> You are the best. If I do Sanjay so

07:52.319 --> 07:55.319
myself.

07:58.400 --> 08:00.400
>> Today's story getting 10 turkeys out of

08:00.400 --> 08:02.639
10. A heartwarming holiday tradition

08:02.639 --> 08:04.319
that's helping those in need. Have you

08:04.319 --> 08:06.720
ever participated in a Friendsgiving?

08:06.720 --> 08:08.479
Group of friends in Warwick, Rhode

08:08.479 --> 08:10.319
Island gather every year for their

08:10.319 --> 08:12.319
annual dinner. And over the last few

08:12.319 --> 08:13.840
years, they've started using the

08:13.840 --> 08:15.520
gathering to help make the holiday

08:15.520 --> 08:18.080
season brighter for others. They build

08:18.080 --> 08:20.319
meal baskets for struggling families.

08:20.319 --> 08:22.960
Don Burgess said they started it during

08:22.960 --> 08:25.840
the CO 19 pandemic and the idea and the

08:25.840 --> 08:28.319
guest list has grown each year.

08:28.319 --> 08:30.479
>> Three years ago, I said, you know, maybe

08:30.479 --> 08:32.000
our friends would like to get in on the

08:32.000 --> 08:34.959
action and have a little party and stuff

08:34.959 --> 08:35.680
some baskets.

08:35.680 --> 08:37.519
>> Now, it's a full-blown holiday assembly

08:37.519 --> 08:40.000
line. This year, they knocked out 17

08:40.000 --> 08:42.080
baskets complete with all the fixings,

08:42.080 --> 08:44.800
the dessert, and yes, even turkey. They

08:44.800 --> 08:46.640
deliver the baskets to families just

08:46.640 --> 08:48.320
ahead of Thanksgiving and say it's been

08:48.320 --> 08:50.640
an amazing way to come together to make

08:50.640 --> 08:52.800
their community a better place.

08:52.800 --> 08:56.399
>> You feel extremely good after you

08:56.399 --> 08:58.560
deliver your baskets to the people that

08:58.560 --> 09:00.640
are in need. It's a great feeling.

09:00.640 --> 09:03.040
>> Rise up. Time now for some Friday

09:03.040 --> 09:06.560
