Transcript of the segment

What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: The Washington Post.

Hank LedgerNow to something most of us only think about on a staircase: how to take care of your knees in your twenties, thirties, forties and beyond.
Kenji MoonfieldThe Washington Post put out a guide that walks through each decade, because apparently your knees have a different needs list at every age.
Hank LedgerThe idea is prevention. Look after them before they send a complaint, because by forty they usually have.
Kenji MoonfieldTwenties is basically free trial. You can sprint, squat, sit on the floor at a party, and get up like nothing happened.
Hank LedgerI remember that. It was a Tuesday.
Kenji MoonfieldThen the thirties hit, and you make a little noise when you stand up, and you pretend it was the chair.
Hank LedgerIt was never the chair.
Kenji MoonfieldThe forties and beyond part is where the guide gets serious, and I read that as a polite way of saying stretch, Hank.
Hank LedgerI stretch. Every morning I lean toward my toes and negotiate. We've reached an understanding that stops around my shins.
Kenji MoonfieldThat's a hostile negotiation.
