1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:01,160
Speaker 1: Big problem.

2
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 2: Mark Zuckerberg, in fact, the founder of Facebook, appeared in

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 2: court this week over allegations claiming his social media platforms

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 2: deliberately contribute to addiction and harm among children. That's not

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 2: a surprise, but this case raises many concerns regarding social

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 2: media responsibility, especially around children's safety. This case that is

7
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 2: in court right now with Mark Zuckerberg, could have major

8
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 2: implications for meta platforms and the future of social media.

9
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 2: Should tech giants be responsible for platform impact? Is that

10
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:43,959
Speaker 2: they're responsible? Is it the parents' responsibility? Five one, three, seven, four, nine,

11
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 2: seven thousand. Should we ban social media until the age

12
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: of sixteen? We're going to talk about that. Let me

13
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 2: get to Norma real quick in Norwood. Hi, Norma, what's

14
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,120

Speaker 3: hadn't uh had brail, I don't know what we blind

Speaker 3: people would do. So Also, I have technology which helps me.

00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 3: iPad and it helps you read books and stuff like that.

22
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it.

23
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: There's always ways that you can make yourself, you make

Speaker 2: yourself happy, and learning Braille and and that kind of

00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 3: things being equal, and I was invited down there this

30
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 3: Tuesday to be on the radio show about how I

Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate the call, Norma. There's a little bit

34

38
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 2: four ninety seven thousand, one eight hundred, the Big one. So,

39
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: getting back to the parent's responsibility. Should we ban social

40
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 2: media until the age of sixteen? I mean, I really

41
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 2: want parents to weigh in here. What would happen if

42
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 2: you were to tell your fourteen year old right now

43
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: that they need to get off social media platforms because

44
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 2: it's harmful, it's addicting, it creates images, image issues, body issues,

45
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 2: image issues emotional and physical. I mean, they just banned

46
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: social media in Australia. The law now says that you

47
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: have to be sixteen years old to have a social

48
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 2: media account. This applies to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat.

49
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: X, YouTube. I mean, the list goes on and on.

50
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 2: If you really think about it, Holy smokes, how many

51
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 2: of these do you use? I mean, I can tell

52
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 2: you I use Facebook, Instagram, X and YouTube.

53
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: Those are the four that I use. That's a lot.

54
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: That is a.

55
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: Lot of time spent on my screen. But Australia said

56
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: basically sixteen and up, you cannot have social media platforms

57
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: if you are sixteen years and younger. The government introduced

58
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: this rule to reduce online harms for young people, to

59
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: give children more time to develop skills before joining social media.

60
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, if you think about it, you're

61
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 2: on social media as an adult where our brains are

62
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: fully formed, and we've been through breakups and heartaches and

63
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 2: bullying and all this stuff. By the time you get

64
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: to forties and fifties, you've gone through all of that.

65
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: You've already been there.

66
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: Think about a thirteen, fourteen, fifteen year old girl or boy.

67
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 2: And you know, if you're on social media as an adult,

68
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: because I'm on there, some of the images and things

69
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: that we see on a daily basis can be absolutely horrifying.

70
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: I mean some of the movies back when I was

71
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: thirteen or fourteen, I should have never watched. They scarred

72
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: me as a child, Like the Babysitting movie when a

73
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: stranger calls I was.

74
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: Babysitting at that time.

75
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 2: How did I ever, Why did I ever do that

76
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 2: to myself and watch that and then go babysit.

77
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: I was terrified.

78
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 2: Even still, those movies were scary, but social media can

79
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: be worse at times, and I think parents would appreciate

80
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: this law in Australia. Parents, I don't know how you

81
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: do it. I really do not know how you do it.

82
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 2: I don't have kids. My sisters all have children and

83
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,239
Speaker 2: they're pretty much all grown for the most part. They're

84
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: having kids now, so all my sisters have grandkids, and

85
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: I don't know how parents monitor that. I know there

86
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: are things that if you get your kid a phone

87
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 2: and you can turn things off, like they're only allowed

88
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 2: to use this, that and the other.

89
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: But then they'll say.

90
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: All my friends are on Facebook, all my friends are

91
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 2: on they wouldn't be on Facebook, they'd be on Instagram

92
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: or TikTok or snapchat. That's what they would be on

93
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: at this point. But what are your thoughts parents? Do

94
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,720
Speaker 2: you have kids that are currently on social media? And

95
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 2: how do they handle it? Five three seven, four nine

96
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 2: eight hundred the big one. I mean, if you if

97
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: you're having to go back and say listen. And I

98
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 2: don't know what's going to happen in this country because

99
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 2: if Australia is doing it, and it's the laws are

100
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 2: sixteen and up, so they're not having twelve, thirteen, fourteen

101
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 2: year olds on social media, it might change in this country.

102
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: We don't know.

103
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 2: This is maybe a landmark case with Mark Zuckerberg who's

104
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 2: in court saying basically, this is addicting.

105
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: This is way too addicting.

106
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 2: Which we know it is. We know it is because

107
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 2: I use it. I know how addicting it is. Let's

108
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 2: get to Toby. We'll pick up a couple of calls.

109
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 2: Toby and new Richmond. What do you think about this?

110
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 2: Do you think it's the parent's responsibility to monitor their

111
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 2: kids or that should it be the age of sixteen

112
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 2: and up where these kids are a little bit more

113
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 2: mature before they get on social media.

114
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: What do you think, Toby, Well.

115
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 4: So just a little background here. I'm only twenty four.

116
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 4: So when I was going through like middle school and

117
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 4: high school, that was a news say right, And I

118
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 4: was just kids, so.

119
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 5: I didn't know any better.

120
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 4: So you know, I was like asking my mom download

121
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 4: can I download Instagram?

122
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 5: Can I download this?

123
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 6: That?

124
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 4: And she's like, oh, I don't know, like whatever, but

125
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 4: you know, I got it because I'm a little bad,

126
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 4: little kid. But I understand how these kids feel.

127
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 7: Like.

128
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 4: You know, you're scrolling through You're seeing your friends do

129
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 4: super cool things, and you're seeing these strangers do super

130
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 4: cool things, and that's all you want to do. You

131
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 4: don't want to actually deal with real life problems because

132
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 4: most of these people are you know, maybe they have money,

133
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 4: maybe not, but it's it's really I do think there

134
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 4: should be some regulations on age groups now that these

135
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 4: young young kids are getting access to the same thing

136
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 4: I'm getting access to as an adult. You know, it

137
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 4: was fresh when I was younger, so they're like, not

138
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 4: everyone had access.

139
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 2: And some of these things that are on social media.

140
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: I mean I just watched a CARDI b performance where

141
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 2: she's almost naked on stage. I mean, and the stuff

142
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 2: that they're doing. I mean, you know, I sound like

143
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: you know my mom used to sound when I was younger,

144
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: and her agent and these people. But it really when

145
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 2: you look at some of the things that you are

146
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: seeing that I'm seeing, Toby, that you're seeing that when

147
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: you're scrolling on these things, and then the algorithms that

148
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 2: you you know, you watch for a few seconds or

149
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 2: maybe a minute, and then all of the videos now

150
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 2: are now coming to you that you want and it's ours.

151
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 2: It's it's even mentally taxing on me when I'm like, whoa,

152
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 2: I have been scrolling doom scrolling for forty minutes.

153
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: What in the world am I doing?

154
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 8: Oh?

155
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 4: I totally understand, because I mean I don't even see it,

156
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 4: even like a scary video of something that is totally

157
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 4: should not be seen by anyone that is out there

158
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 4: for you know, a kid to watch.

159
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: Yes, And I tried now to.

160
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 4: Really limit my time on it because there's a certain

161
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 4: amount of doesn't mean that your brain gets when you're scrolling,

162
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 4: and you're getting all the different types of like satisfaction

163
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 4: we'll call it. And it's really, I really do think

164
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 4: it's bad for the brain and especially developing brain, but

165
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 4: that's just my opinion from a younger.

166
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: I don't know.

167
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 5: I think I'm gen z or something like that.

168
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: But no, you so, how old are you, Toby? How

169
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: old are you?

170
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 5: Twenty four?

171
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: Okay?

172
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: And because I'm going to play this clip from Scott Galloway,

173
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm going to have time before

174
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 2: because I want to get to Ken after this, but

175
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 2: he talks about how young men are really in a

176
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 2: tough time right now.

177
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: Would you consider yourself happy? What's your level of that?

178
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 9: We would?

179
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: Okay.

180
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 4: I do think I am. I was raised very very well,

181
00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 4: and I think I have a good understanding of everything.

182
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 4: But I have a lot of friends that are not happy,

183
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 4: and they don't understand, like they cannot see that they're

184
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 4: not happy. And I think that all of these different

185
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 4: social media platforms and everything that's going around and.

186
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 9: All this craziness is really affecting them.

187
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 4: But for me, I think I'm okay, and that's probably

188
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 4: why I listen to seven hundred every day.

189
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: Well, we appreciate it, I know we appreciate it.

190
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: And and some of the some of the some of

191
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 2: your buddies, Toby, just make sure that you reach out

192
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: the ones that you really see that are struggling. They

193
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 2: need people in their lives. They don't need more AI.

194
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 2: And AI is going to get bigger and bigger and bigger,

195
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 2: and they they're they're missing a social element that is

196
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: that is causing a lot of unhappiness in people's lives.

197
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: We have phones, we have gaming, we have we have

198
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: social media, we have you know, all kinds of crazy

199
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 2: stuff we do, and then we get don't get out

200
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 2: and meet humans in real world. So if you're one

201
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 2: of the happier ones, and I'm so happy that you are,

202
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 2: please make sure your friends be the one that reaches

203
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 2: out to them and say, hey man, let's go grab

204
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 2: a football and go plague, let's go play basketball.

205
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 9: Agree.

206
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 4: I'm big on fishing, so that's what I usually do.

207
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 2: Okayish and just be out in nature and hang out

208
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 2: with a buddy in the real world. Toby, I really

209
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 2: appreciate the call. Thank you so much. Yep, thanks for

210
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: listening to seven hundred. Let's go to Ken real quick

211
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 2: and Mason Ken, what are your thoughts on this?

212
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 7: Well, First of all, Donnad, thanks for taking the call.

213
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 7: You're talking to a retired seventy three year old school teacher,

214
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 7: and when you mentioned how their brains aren't fully formed,

215
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 7: that's the key point in all this. They're not ready

216
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 7: to process what they're getting over the Internet and all

217
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 7: these social media sites, and they're not ready to handle

218
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 7: the criticisms they get, and herd mentality takes over and

219
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 7: kids will say the meanest, coolest things when they're not

220
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 7: being controlled, not being monitored. You know, we're getting away

221
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 7: from the basics with young children. We really need from

222
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 7: an educational standpoint, we really need to talk that reading, writing,

223
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 7: and arithmetic. People don't seem to get that with children.

224
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 7: They need to develop writing skills, they need to be

225
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 7: able to develop communication between one another in a controlled way,

226
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 7: step by step. You know, the brain's not fully formed

227
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 7: to it twenty four to twenty five years old. And

228
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 7: these kids, you know, I saw a story there has

229
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 7: been over fifteen hundred suicides in the last year of

230
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 7: young kids under the age of sixteen by what they

231
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 7: see on these social media sites than the parents that

232
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 7: are allowing them to do this. It's just crazy, and.

233
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 2: It's always looking so much more fun. Everybody's having a

234
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 2: blast on social media when it's really not even real.

235
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 2: I couldn't agree more with writing and reading skills too,

236
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 2: because we shorten everything like in a text.

237
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: I mean, these kids aren't even done.

238
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 2: You know how to read and write because everything is

239
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 2: pretty much you can you can chat ept everything and

240
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: get everything written for you.

241
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: Ken, I would love for you.

242
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 2: I don't want to make you hold, but I really

243
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 2: want you, if you can, to call back in the

244
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 2: next segment, because I don't know if you know who

245
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 2: Scott Galloway is. He's a New York professor NYU professor

246
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 2: that's talking about how the young boys here are doing,

247
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 2: you know, having a real tough time in terms of

248
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 2: loneliness and not being able to connect and not being

249
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 2: able to ask girls out on a date and things

250
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 2: like that because they don't have these social skills. So

251
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 2: if you want to hold you you are welcome to.

252
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: If not, maybe call back in the next segment.

253
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: Okay, Ken, Okay, thank you.

254
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 2: I really really appreciate it. We're gonna come back again.

255
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna play that clip because I thought it was

256
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 2: very impactful from New York NYU professor Scott Galloway. When

257
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 2: we come back plus there's a pretty big hockey game

258
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 2: tomorrow morning.

259
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,599
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about that. It's Dona D.

260
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 2: Saturday night, seven hundred WLW Cincinnati Woo, and we're back.

261
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,599
Speaker 2: It's Dona D talking about why happiness and humans is declining.

262
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: And one of the reasons our lifeline. That thing. We

263
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: can't stop holding on to. That thing.

264
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 2: We can't stop putting in our pocket, our purses. We

265
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 2: carry it everywhere to the bathroom, we sleep with this thing.

266
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 2: It is our iPhone and Android and the constant scrolling

267
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 2: on social media. It's driving us all insane and why

268
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 2: can't we give it up. Australia just made a new

269
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 2: law that you've got to be at least sixteen years old.

270
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 2: At least sixteen years old to have your social media accounts.

271
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 2: I mean we are talking anything from Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, snapchat,

272
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 2: x YouTube and others.

273
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: You have to be in Australia, in the.

274
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 10: State of Australia, in the country of Australia, that you

275
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 10: have to be sixteen at least sixteen years old to

276
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 10: have any kind of social media accounts.

277
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 2: I really like this guy, Scott Galloway. He's very popular.

278
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 2: NYU professor he has his finger on the pulse, and

279
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 2: he's always talking about young men and their inner society

280
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: problems and why they are so unhappy. And he really

281
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 2: has his finger on the pulse here on this one clip,

282
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 2: and I'm going to have Russ play it right now.

283
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 11: One in seven men are called nets. They're not in education,

284
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 11: they're not in employed, and they're not in training. Effectively,

285
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 11: you have the deepest pocketed companies in the world to

286
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 11: represent forty percent of the SMP who have one mission

287
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 11: and that has to sequester you from your family. And

288
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 11: the way they do that is we used to think

289
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 11: sex cells. We figure out there's something that sells better

290
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 11: than sex, and that's rage. So you have a group

291
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 11: of young men whose prefrontal cortex doesn't catch up to

292
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 11: a woman until it's twenty five, is looking for that

293
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 11: immediate DOPA and they think I can have a reasonable

294
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 11: vacsim ley of life online. Why go through the pecking

295
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 11: order of having friends when I've discord and read it.

296
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 11: Why go through the bs of putting on a tie

297
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 11: and navigating the corporate world when I can trade stocks

298
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 11: or crypto on coinbase or on Robinhood, And why would

299
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 11: I go through the humiliation, the expense, the rejection, the

300
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 11: perseverance of trying to establish a romantic relationship when I

301
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 11: have lifelike porn. Big tech is not our friend. The

302
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 11: bottom line is they are doing everything they can just

303
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 11: to quest you from the most meaningful and important thing

304
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 11: in your life, and that is relationships. Get off your phone.

305
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 2: Right, I mean, if you really break that down, why

306
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 2: would you go out and try and meet somebody and

307
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 2: get rejected if you can have other sources of connection, right,

308
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 2: That's what he's saying. But the real thing, and obviously

309
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: I agree with him because I talk about relationship radio

310
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 2: all the time. That's what I do on Saturday nights.

311
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: The importance to have these deep, meaningful, loving connection relationships

312
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 2: in your life. And if we don't have it, there's

313
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 2: absolutely no way that we're going to continue to be

314
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: happy in this life. I see my buddy Sterling is

315
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,719
Speaker 2: calling me right now. Let's get to the phones and

316
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: talk to Sterling.

317
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 6: Hi, speaking of deep, meaningful white conversations and relationships.

318
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: It's on my phone.

319
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 6: I was thinking maybe I should hang up. You're like

320
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 6: call I'm like, but I'm not supposed to use the phone.

321
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 2: Mee, I need my Delpa meine, Well, listen, the bottom

322
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 2: line is we are never giving up our iPhone.

323
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: We're never giving up our phones.

324
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 2: There are little computers in our lifelines and they're very

325
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 2: important for you know, growing success. I mean we end connection,

326
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 2: and I think there is a relevant point of social media.

327
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 2: You get to see how your friends are doing, you

328
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,959
Speaker 2: get to see how your your family is living, and

329
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 2: you connect on on you know, parts of the world

330
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 2: where you'd never know how these people are doing. So

331
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,239
Speaker 2: I do like it in that level, but there is

332
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 2: a point where it's too much sterling.

333
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 1: Do you agree with that?

334
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 6: You got to block out time, you know, otherwise, yeah,

335
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 6: you're constantly reaching, you know, don't put it next to

336
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 6: the bed. You see the blue light, all, No, it's

337
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 6: the blue light. I got to check if any email

338
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 6: is a work, that a text, what's going on? Is

339
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 6: the world ending?

340
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 9: What is happening?

341
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 6: All those things are important to find out, but it's

342
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 6: not necessarily a twenty four to seven thing. The kid

343
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 6: things a problem. We talked about that before I heard

344
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 6: you talking about it. And if their whole world is

345
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 6: a kid, I mean, you're already confused and hormonally challenged,

346
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 6: and I have no idea that what even you don't know,

347
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 6: you don't know yet and you're confused by everything. And

348
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 6: going back to as kids are the eighties, I mean

349
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 6: you were on the phone and then you go to school.

350
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 6: You know what's going on now it's all in the

351
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 6: palm of your hand. Or if they're from around the

352
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 6: world and everybody's trying to be like somebody else and

353
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 6: people are lost. It's hard because there's also villains out

354
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 6: there looking to cause problems.

355
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: So I don't we've we have talked about it before.

356
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 2: And how how hard is it to be a parent

357
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 2: in this day and age to be able to you know,

358
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 2: because because kids they want to be on social media

359
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 2: so they can connect to their friends twenty four to seven.

360
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 2: They but then they'll notice that they weren't invited to

361
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 2: the party, they weren't invited to the lunch or the

362
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 2: mall or whatever.

363
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: And then there's.

364
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,640
Speaker 2: Pain that comes and there's there's uh, all kinds of.

365
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: Exactly help me, it's all about.

366
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 6: Me, and you don't even and maybe they don't even

367
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 6: care one way or the other, and it was an

368
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 6: overside and you're confused. But when you get a little older,

369
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 6: what do you do. Then you're like, man, I really

370
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 6: don't want to go to this thing. Maybe we'll just

371
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 6: show up and have a drink and go, right, you

372
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 6: don't even want to go to this stuff. But as

373
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 6: a kid, that's your whole world. You're right.

374
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 2: But even still even as an adult. And I was

375
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,959
Speaker 2: talking to a couple of our listeners prior to this break,

376
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 2: when you're when you're an adult and you still see,

377
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 2: you still compare.

378
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: We know, comparison is the thief of joy.

379
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,479
Speaker 2: So if you're out and you're seeing, you know, people

380
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 2: having a blast, and you know we're at work, I mean,

381
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes it's like that can be tricky, even

382
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 2: even those small moments. And we're adults. We've already been

383
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 2: through the breakups, We've already been through bullying, We've already

384
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 2: lived through high school and college and things like that.

385
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 2: It's still hard imagine imagine being twelve, thirteen, fourteen years old.

386
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: I just can't.

387
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 2: I was always saying so so much that I'm so

388
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 2: grateful that social media has not been around when we

389
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 2: were that young, and I mean, because who the heck

390
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 2: knows what would have happened back then.

391
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 6: But well, it's a babysit or done. That's the problem.

392
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 6: I mean, I've seen it with friends and family. You

393
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 6: got kids that are may even be still in the

394
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 6: high chair, and here's the device so that you know,

395
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 6: then you can eat, you can finish you know, reading

396
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 6: the news or listening, you know, to the radio, listening

397
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 6: to you know, Tom in the morning, whatever and getting

398
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 6: stuff ready. You know, here's the device for the kid.

399
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 6: Here's your cheerios, have some. And that's here's what it is.

400
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 6: This is the distraction. It's on the screen. You ever

401
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 6: see somebody it's almost like a junkie or a methatic,

402
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 6: you know, tweaking if you take away the kid's phone.

403
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, seeing the dinner.

404
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 2: It's amazing, it's crazy. I saw this thing, speaking of

405
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 2: social media. I saw this thing where this father tried

406
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 2: to take this little boy's iPad. He couldn't have been

407
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 2: more than I don't know seven, and the kid would

408
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 2: flip out, sterling. And so the father, when he was asleep,

409
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: he drew these dark circles around his eyes, and the

410
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 2: little boy got up and he looked in the mirror

411
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 2: and he goes, that's from looking at your screens, and

412
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: it's going to get worse, you might go blind or something.

413
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 2: And the little kid started getting so scared and he

414
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 2: believed it.

415
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: And he didn't want to get on his iPad anymore.

416
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 6: That's what And his friends in the neighborhood though, then

417
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 6: they go, you're dead lied to you.

418
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 2: You see, probably a few years later they probably well, yes, exactly,

419
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 2: but you know, these are the tactics that parents are

420
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 2: having to go through at the age of five, six,

421
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 2: seven years old.

422
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 6: So the parents fault, is it right?

423
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what I was asking is the parents.

424
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 2: Are the parents responsible for this? Should it be a

425
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 2: law like Australia the guns.

426
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 6: There's been guns and knives and fireworks and car keys

427
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 6: and all kinds of other stuff out there for as

428
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 6: long as there's been people, basically in modern times or

429
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 6: some element of those things I just mentioned Anna and

430
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 6: we somehow navigated through it. And parents were like give

431
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 6: me the keys. They were like, let me take that

432
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 6: phone and plug it from the bedroom where you don't

433
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 6: have those privileges, or taking the TV away that if

434
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 6: that happens now it's somehow uncontrollable, whether you know, because

435
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 6: it's the you know, laptop or whatever for school. Then

436
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 6: they have access to the Internet, and then there's a

437
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 6: world of things out there in the Internet, of things

438
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 6: that are pretty scary and troubling. I don't know how

439
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 6: you deal with it. I would be very disturbed as

440
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 6: a parent of young kids right now and trying to

441
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 6: navigate this and figure it out. But there's no question

442
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 6: that these companies that allow I mean, they're trying to

443
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 6: keep people scrolling longer. So you're going to do whatever

444
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 6: it is to make it as easy as possible to

445
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 6: have as many people scrolling as long as possible so

446
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 6: you can make more money. So, whether it's a kid

447
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 6: or an adult, you know, it's eyes and ears. Well,

448
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 6: I don't know how do you limit free speech and

449
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 6: controls of such a thing there. You got to control

450
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 6: this other stuff as a parent, why not the device?

451
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: Well, Australia is doing it.

452
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 2: They're making kids at least older to have to be

453
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,479
Speaker 2: sixteen in order to do it. But you know, I

454
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 2: was finding out what makes us unhappy, because unhappiness is

455
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 2: growing as a society.

456
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: Political hatred.

457
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 6: Well, I thought you were just calling me out. Sorry,

458
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 6: I think I'm sorry, Go ahead, you're.

459
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 2: Generally I know I can't hang out with somebody that

460
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 2: that you know is doesn't make themselves happy. That that

461
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 2: you've got to do whatever you can in this life.

462
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 2: Because I said this all that, I say this all

463
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 2: the time. None of us are getting out of here alive.

464
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: So we have to understand the this is why we're

465
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 2: talking about it.

466
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: The places in.

467
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 6: The car, got it? You just say that, protect the children.

468
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 6: We're all going to die. Make up your mind, woman,

469
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 6: make up your mind.

470
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 2: You got to make yourself happy in some ways. And

471
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 2: the political hatred really is a big thing. How do

472
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 2: we stop arguing and fighting amongst each other?

473
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: Because if you think we are.

474
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 6: All good together, no, everybody's getting along. Where have you been?

475
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: If you think about it.

476
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 6: It's utopia. Ask Russ Jackson, he knows, Ask Brady. And

477
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 6: it's a beautiful time. There are so I mean, it's

478
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 6: about as peaceful. These are the best of times.

479
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 2: It's it's divided, and it's and it's and it's not

480
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 2: just politicians, it's the uber wealthy. Listen to the statistic

481
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 2: real quick. It's absolutely crazy. When I heard it, I

482
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 2: was blown away. Three people, three people in this country

483
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 2: own more wealth than the entire middle class. And you

484
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 2: can guess who I'm talking about right. I know we

485
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 2: see things differently on this. All right, let me finish

486
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 2: my argument here, K Mark Zuckerberg, Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon

487
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 2: founder Jeff I'm Mark Zuckerberg and and Jeff uh.

488
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 1: Yes, thank you, Jeff Basics.

489
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 2: Earlier people own more of the wealth than one hundred

490
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 2: and sixty five million Americans combined three people, and that

491
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 2: is crazy.

492
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 6: Gave it to them because they gave them a good

493
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 6: or service that they wanted.

494
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: I get it.

495
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 2: I understand how capitalism works. Make your money, but there's

496
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 2: something but they're also meddling. I want mine too, but

497
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 2: I don't feel like I need to have billions and

498
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:10,479
Speaker 2: billions of dollars and then get involved and corrupt our

499
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 2: political system to get more tax breaks. How do we

500
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 2: limit their power? Do we just stop buying things from Amazon?

501
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 6: I mean it's your job, in my job, to pay

502
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 6: as a little pet taxes as possible. I mean legally right,

503
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 6: I mean you try to. You go to an accountant,

504
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 6: you travel a lot here for work, you got multiple jobs.

505
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 6: You give them all your receipt or paperwork, and your

506
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 6: CPA makes it so you pay as little as you

507
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 6: have to legally correct and if you had the power

508
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 6: in the authority to call up the Columbus and call

509
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 6: up to DC and say, hey, Mike Turner, Hey you spad,

510
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 6: you need to help me on this. Can I get

511
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 6: into see Trump in the office or whoever's occupying it

512
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 6: next to whenever, and to say, hey, you need to

513
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 6: help me. We're trying that we're doing this business. Things

514
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 6: are transactional. They always have been. It's just out there

515
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 6: in the open now and much clear.

516
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 2: Well that's where we okay, Well, that's where we differ.

517
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 2: Because if I have billions of dollars and I've made

518
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:08,959
Speaker 2: it in this country off the backs of these people,

519
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,160
Speaker 2: and and there are people right now that are choosing

520
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 2: to this is a real thing, pay rent or get

521
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 2: their inhalers because they have terrible asthma. This is There's

522
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 2: no way I would try and cheat out on paying taxes.

523
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 1: I would pay taxes.

524
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 2: Don't Well, I mean they're they're trying to maneuver laws.

525
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 2: I mean, we've been trying to get billionaires to pay

526
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 2: taxes in this country for a long long time.

527
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 1: And because of.

528
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 6: The fete out of his hand and.

529
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 2: Now with you, I feel like there's a reason why

530
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 2: financially people are really stressed and and to have this

531
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 2: this wealthy their.

532
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 6: Drugs the way we and drink is that everybody else.

533
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 6: Now they're drunk and they're high with the phone in

534
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 6: their hands, looking to get loving or find another life

535
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 6: that's better than theirs as they sit there sad and

536
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 6: their kids in their bedroom doing the same thing, hopefully

537
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 6: without the drugs. That's America today.

538
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: Oh boy?

539
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 6: Is that bad? Is that? I mean? I mean that's

540
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 6: what I's is that where we are well.

541
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: I feel like because we are in decline.

542
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 2: It started big time in twenty twenty with COVID and

543
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 2: the loneliness and stuff, and now it has gotten it's

544
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 2: it's just gotten so bad that a lot of people

545
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 2: are are are angry the wealth disparentes. You know, I

546
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 2: work for hvac and home improvement in my day job.

547
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 6: Right we just saw number cold business. Was that sure?

548
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, well we just saw numbers that that. There's two

549
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 2: types of buyers right now for HVAC contractors.

550
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: There's two.

551
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 2: One is five point fifty FIGHTO and below the really

552
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 2: credit challenge customers and the eight hundred fight go score.

553
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 2: So they're great great you know people that have money

554
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 2: and great credit and the ones that have nothing.

555
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: The middle class is disappearing, and I tough.

556
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 6: Right now because you earn that in between. You're going

557
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 6: to try to make that cargo another year if you can,

558
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 6: depending unless you find the right deal and the right

559
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 6: interest rate. And people are getting loans for sixty eight

560
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 6: like seven years for a car.

561
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 2: People can't afford house. You can't afford a house right now.

562
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 2: I mean there are back back in the day, Sterling,

563
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 2: when you made six figures, that was a big deal.

564
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 2: You were able to get a house, you were able

565
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 2: to you know, you know, it was a pretty good living.

566
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 2: Now six figures is like making sixty thousand right now.

567
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 6: I was steeling really good. And then now you've laid

568
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 6: this all out here and I'm not feeling really good

569
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:46,479
Speaker 6: about things right now.

570
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 2: What we do?

571
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 6: You're just talking about current events in the world with me.

572
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 6: I did it and I understand. And then here to

573
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 6: add a little something else to it. Yeah, aside from

574
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 6: like the generator to AI that we can all have

575
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 6: fun if like here's a picture of Sterling and Donna

576
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 6: hanging out with like, I don't know, Eddie and Rocky

577
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 6: in the Reds game in July, you know, and have

578
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 6: us like animated in the stand someplace that's easy done right,

579
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 6: that's on AI. Yeah right, Wait three years with AI

580
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 6: and all the stuff that you've thought about, and the

581
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 6: disillusionment and everything else that's been somewhat of a change

582
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 6: in the last twenty to thirty years and the people

583
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 6: caught in the middle, and see what that is when

584
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 6: people need more of a purpose. Now Musk says, what

585
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 6: that will work? If we want to, we can pursue

586
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 6: our dreams and our goals. My question is where does

587
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 6: the basic issue of roof shoes and food on a

588
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 6: plate come in? And maybe throw in transportation for all

589
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 6: those people that you just described you can't afford anything. Yeah, yeah,

590
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 6: they're going to and those jobs are going to be

591
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 6: fewer and far between. So now I've you've taken me a.

592
00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: Completely motion and I was literally before you called me,

593
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: and I love you.

594
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 6: I don't know what happened?

595
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 7: Are you okay?

596
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 6: West to get you're still laughing, But I don't know.

597
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 6: I don't know how I feel.

598
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about something very fun tomorrow. There's

599
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 2: a pretty big hockey game. It's the USA versus Canada.

600
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: Go USA. They're going for the gold. It's a big deal.

601
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 2: Is not one of the most anticipated matchups of the

602
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 2: game's classic rivalry.

603
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 6: Obviously, he makes North the land of Joey, Vada when

604
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 6: he's not here or working for NBC colin baseball this summer.

605
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, are you going to be why it's early, it's

606
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 2: an early rise for Sterling eight ten Eastern time on

607
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 2: NBC and peacock.

608
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 6: So when they drop the puck, that's right, puck on

609
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 6: that ice in USA will skate all over Canada. A

610
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,719
Speaker 6: picture of four to two win for USA.

611
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: Ooh, that's big.

612
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 2: This is going to be an exciting, exciting game. Obviously,

613
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 2: whoever wins is going to get the gold. This was

614
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 2: what was the what was the big event, the big

615
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 2: hockey thing back in the day.

616
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 12: They had a movie on it. Yes, Miracle on Ice,

00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: Years ago, Yes, Soviet Union four three.

620
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 6: Yes, it was huge.

621
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think we've won a gold since then,

00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 2: to make ourselves happier. It will be a little bit

644
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 2: more of a positive spin. We're going to get to that,

645
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 2: and I know you want to talk about social media.

646
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 2: We will get to that as well. That's Donna D

Speaker 2: Thirty one for the high Sunday and Monday. So we're

651
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 2: talking about the level of happy in our in our

652
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 2: lives and our relationships and the and the one thing

653
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 2: that is causing a lot of problems and a lot

654
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:13,280
Speaker 2: of challenges in our level of happiness is the amount

655
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 2: of screen time we have on our phones and why

656
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 2: are we always looking at our phones? Well, social media.

657
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: Is a big part of it.

658
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 2: Ryan, We're going to go to you from Florence. Thank

659
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 2: you so much for holding for so long. I really

660
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 2: appreciate it. And Sterling said he just texted me and

661
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,400
Speaker 2: wanted to apologize to you.

662
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 8: So, oh no, it's all good. It's all good. I've

663
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 8: just been I'm actually from Anderson. I've just been driving

664
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 8: around heading on over to work. I'm a lift driver,

665
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 8: so I'm about to get activated. But I thought i'd

666
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 8: have a little conversation also, Dark thank you.

667
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: What do you think of this social media stuff? Is it?

668
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: You know Australia has just raised the limit to sixteen.

669
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 2: It's a law now that you have to be at

670
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 2: least sixteen to get on any kind of social media TikTok, Facebook, Instagram,

671
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 2: you name it, x, YouTube and things like that. Do

672
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 2: you think that's the right way to go or is

673
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 2: it parents' responsibility.

674
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 5: It is absolutely the parent's responsibility.

675
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 8: It has always been my opinion that when governments say

676
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 8: that use the children as a justification for pushing mass surveillance,

677
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 8: it was never about the children. Their true purpose is

678
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 8: to spy on their citizens by forcing them to upload

679
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 8: their ID card to use the internet.

680
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 5: Pretty much.

681
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 9: Hmm.

682
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 2: So instead of like the United States following Australia in

683
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 2: making a law, you think the parents should basically set

684
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 2: the rules for their kids with phones.

685
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 6: Yes, there is.

686
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 8: The parents actually have a lot more control than they

687
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 8: think over their children's Internet usage. There are programs and

688
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 8: methods out there that parents can use to just block

689
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,879
Speaker 8: traffic from certain websites, especially the ones we definitely don't

690
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:06,800
Speaker 8: want our kids looking at in the first place, but

691
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:11,800
Speaker 8: also just any social media site, you know, the you know,

692
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 8: Internet service providers are able to provide that information that

693
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,720
Speaker 8: they can tell a parent if their kids accessing stuff

694
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 8: they're not supposed to.

695
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 5: But what it was responsibility?

696
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: I agree, I absolutely agree with you. I'm not disagreeing.

697
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: But what if what if you're thirteen, fourteen, fifteen year old?

698
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: Says mom?

699
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 2: Everybody is on social media and I feel like I

700
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 2: am I am I feel like a loser because I'm

701
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 2: not and all my friends are on it. Well, what

702
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 2: do you say then, because that's the takeaway when you say, Okay,

703
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 2: none of your friends are on it, they're sixteen. They

704
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 2: have to be sixteen to be able to be on it.

705
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 2: So that's kind of takes away a little bit of

706
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 2: the pressure for the parents. Ryan, I don't have kids,

707
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 2: and I and I've said before, what a tough time

708
00:36:57,880 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 2: to be a parent with things like this.

709
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: Yes, but what if you're do you have kids?

710
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 2: Uh?

711
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 8: No, I do plan on having children someday though, And

712
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 8: one of my best friends is uh Basically he says

713
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 8: he would have some methods if if I were ever to.

714
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 9: Go that rout.

715
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 1: Uh huh. Good.

716
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 2: So you're your friends are already responsible parents then, because

717
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 2: they're doing it.

718
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 13: Yes.

719
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 8: What I have to your question is that even if

720
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,959
Speaker 8: you have your kids on social media, you can still

721
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 8: monitor their account and their activity to make sure that

722
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 8: they aren't, you know, talking to people they aren't supposed

723
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 8: to be talking to, or doing things they're not supposed to.

724
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 8: A parent can have access to their child's social media

725
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 8: account if like they're thirteen years old and they're you know,

726
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,479
Speaker 8: they want to have a social media account, the parent

727
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 8: can still monitor that. There's programs out there that'll do

728
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 8: it for you.

729
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 2: I know, but who has time to do if you're

730
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 2: a working mom, especially a working single parent, who has

731
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 2: time to monitor for their kids' social media. I mean,

732
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 2: I really feel like if we didn't allow kids, and

733
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 2: I don't think kids should be on social media at

734
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 2: under sixteen, I agree with that law. I think it's

735
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 2: important to say, you know, this is going to be

736
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 2: harmful for you. Not only is it addicting, so you

737
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 2: can scroll scroll, scroll in sometimes and even still ryan

738
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 2: even if the kids all have phones and then they're

739
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 2: with their friends and there's parents that aren't monitoring it,

740
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 2: you can see all kinds of stuff on that right.

741
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 8: Well, my opinion for that is the programs I'm talking

742
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,479
Speaker 8: about they automate everything. They monitor the traffic. You log

743
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 8: on for like five minutes a night, and it'll tell

744
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 8: you if there's any suspicious flags or anything suspicious like that.

745
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 8: The reason I don't want the government doing it is that,

746
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 8: especially in countries like Australia and the UK, these digital

747
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:59,800
Speaker 8: ideas things can be used to persecute people for political speech,

748
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 8: and that's The last thing I want to see happening

749
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 8: in the United States is to because once you put

750
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 8: your and it's another concern that isn't just that, is

751
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 8: that a lot of these companies that will verify the

752
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 8: ID cards, they're subject to data breaches all the time.

753
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 8: Just discord a popular social media app for teenagers when

754
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 8: they rolled out digital ID and a lot of these

755
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 8: jurisdictions that require it, there was a data breach where

756
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 8: thousands and thousands of people's IDs got uploaded to the

757
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 8: dark web.

758
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't know that. And that is concerning. That

759
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: is very concerning.

760
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 2: And and there listen, I mean we're all at the

761
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 2: at the mercy of people breaching. You know, there's there's

762
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 2: tons of things that happened to all of us. You

763
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 2: put your your data in on everything. Everything is now

764
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 2: is computerized, everything is is on the web, everything is

765
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 2: so unfortunately we are all at the mercy of that,

766
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 2: I think, I mean, data privacy is important, but we

767
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 2: see that breach all the time, don't we How do

768
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 2: we stop that?

769
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 8: Well, I mean like it's you know, like it like

770
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 8: obviously there's other data breaches out there, but you know,

771
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 8: a lot of these data breaches they don't always have

772
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 8: access to a government issued ID, which can be easily

773
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 8: used for identity theft. And when you upload your ID

774
00:40:23,840 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 8: they say that they'll delete it within thirty days, they

775
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 8: don't actually do that. All that information gets you know,

776
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 8: gets shared around, you know, and like by these data brokers,

777
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 8: and the more information we give them, the more power

778
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 8: that gives them, and by extension, the government to control

779
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 8: people and their opinions.

780
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 2: So what do you think of Mark Zuckerberg in court

781
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 2: because people want more regulation on social media for children.

782
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 2: What do you think is going to happen with that?

783
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 2: Because it could be a landmark case. Again, a lot

784
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 2: of people are saying, you're keeping them on longer, it's addicting,

785
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 2: it's causing issues mentally for these kids.

786
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: What should be done?

787
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 2: It should all lay on the parents and their responsibility.

788
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 2: Is that what you're saying?

789
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:13,879
Speaker 7: Yes?

790
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,959
Speaker 8: And I say that as a victim of the being

791
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 8: and part of the first generation to have easy access

792
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 8: to computers. My Internet access wasn't monitored and I know

793
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 8: the damage that did to me. But it's my opinion

794
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 8: that it's not the government's job to do that for parents.

795
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 8: As I said, there are programs out there that will

796
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 8: automate it for the parents. They just log on five

797
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 8: minutes a day and check their children's Internet history because

798
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,920
Speaker 8: the program does all the flagging for them, it does

799
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 8: all the monitoring for them. It'll find predators out there,

800
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 8: it'll find bad websites in the search history. This is

801
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 8: the kind of thing we have the technology to do.

802
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:56,720
Speaker 8: But it's just that the government has a vested interest

803
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:01,959
Speaker 8: in requiring people to upload their IDCs because that makes

804
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 8: people easier to track. And obviously, I you know, this

805
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 8: is the same thing that happened with the Patriot Act,

806
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 8: but except instead of terrorists, it's children being used as

807
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 8: a justification for government surveillance.

808
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 1: So do you think kids should have iPhones? Period? Do

809
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 1: you think it's a safety thing to have?

810
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 2: Now?

811
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:23,320
Speaker 1: So, what age do you think kids should get like

812
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: their first phone?

813
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 5: What you say that should be? I think kids.

814
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 8: I think kids should like not be allowed on like, like,

815
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 8: you know, the Internet in general until at least thirteen,

816
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 8: and they you know, they should and even at thirteen,

817
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 8: the parents have the responsibility to make sure their kids

818
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 8: are using the Internet safely. And you know, person like

819
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 8: I and this is coming from someone who got their

820
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 8: first laptop at age ten with no Internet restrictions whatsoever. Yeah,

821
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 8: I know what kind of damage it can do, right,

822
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 8: And I understand that, you know. I don't blame my parents.

823
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 8: They were like the first generation of parents that had

824
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 8: to deal with this sort of thing, So I don't

825
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 8: think it's their fault. It's more of a thing of ignorance.

826
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 8: Not everyone knows that these programs exist that don't necessitate

827
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 8: giving information over to these fleasy social media companies or

828
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 8: the government.

829
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 2: So because I think even thirteen, I mean, again, I

830
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:23,919
Speaker 2: don't have kids, neither do you, Ryan, but you plan

831
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 2: on it if thirteen seems even young to me, I

832
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 2: mean to have a phone. But again it's a safety

833
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 2: thing too, with your kids are in school and you

834
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 2: want to be able to know where they are and

835
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,120
Speaker 2: talk to them and see how they go. Texting and

836
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 2: limited limited, limited capabilities because you can you can literally

837
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 2: just have them text and phone and no internet on

838
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 2: text and call and no internet and no social media.

839
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 2: That would be the absolute minimum if I had kids,

840
00:43:57,719 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 2: that that's what they would do if they were thirteen,

841
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 2: having a phone, no Internet, oh no, no internet, phone,

842
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 2: phone calls and text and that's it.

843
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:09,800
Speaker 8: And not a lot of people know this, but every

844
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 8: iPhone comes with that programming pre installed. Apple has that

845
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 8: right ready out of the ready to go out of

846
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 8: the box. And the in my opinion is that I

847
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 8: believe that smartphones are kind of a necessity in this

848
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 8: day and age. Yeah, and you know, in you know,

849
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 8: it's kind of one of those necessary evils that we

850
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 8: have to deal with. But I still believe that as

851
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 8: you know, like Ronald Reagan himself said that one of

852
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 8: the scariest words in the English language are I'm from

853
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 8: the government and I'm here to help. You know, we

854
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 8: gotta understand that these that a lot of you know,

855
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 8: authoritarian types would absolutely love to get more access to

856
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 8: citizens information so that they can suppress political speech. And

857
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 8: if you think it can't happen in the United States

858
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 8: because we have the First Amendment, look at place like

859
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 8: the UK and Australia where people go to jail for

860
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 8: mean social media posts.

861
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

862
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 7: No.

863
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 2: And but but if you don't think we're Mark Zuckerberg

864
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 2: and the like are are collecting all of our data

865
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 2: and sending it off, They're they're doing it. I mean,

866
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 2: we had absolutely and and TikTok, forget about it. I mean,

867
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 2: you know, so we had cybersecurity Dave Hatter on talking

868
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 2: about the craziness of what are where our information is

869
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 2: going with TikTok and I got off it this the

870
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 2: second we had that interview. But again, Zuckerberg and Facebook

871
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 2: and Twitter and all, I mean X and and all that,

872
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 2: they're all they're all capturing all of our information. All

873
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 2: that's how we're getting the algorithms going towards us as well.

874
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 8: Well. My opinion on that is, you know, there's the

875
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 8: Europeans have done some good things, and data privacy is

876
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 8: one of them. They actually have laws that restrict what

877
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 8: like what kind of data and social media companies can

878
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 8: collect and how they can collect it. You know, these

879
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 8: are but a lot of these big tech companies are

880
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 8: based in the United States, and they have lobbyists in

881
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 8: Washington in their pocket making sure that they don't get regulated.

882
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 8: But the one regulation that they'd absolutely love to roll

883
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 8: out is digital ID because that gives them information they

884
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 8: want as well. They don't want data privacy laws, but

885
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 8: they sure enough they most certainly want laws that require

886
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 8: an ID to use the Internet.

887
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 5: It's very because just that serves their interest.

888
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 2: It is a very good argument against that, and I

889
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 2: appreciate you calling. I think you're super smart. One more

890
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 2: question before I let you go, Ryan, what are you feeling?

891
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 2: How do you feel about AI and the technology that's

892
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 2: that's coming rapidly. Do you have any concerns about it

893
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 2: or are you excited about it? Or do you think

894
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 2: it's going to take all of our jobs away?

895
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: What do you think?

896
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:00,680
Speaker 8: It's definitely not going to take all our jobs away.

897
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 8: I mean, although it is developing fast, it's not developing

898
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 8: at a rate that the investors think it's going to.

899
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 8: I think what we're going to see is another dot

900
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:12,319
Speaker 8: com bubble type of scenario where all of these AI

901
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 8: companies crash because they're not making a profit, and then

902
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 8: over time AI starts to get rolled out in a

903
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 8: more considerable form. But a lot of these companies like

904
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 8: Microsoft that are like want to try using AI to

905
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 8: replace you know, human workers and programmers.

906
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 5: Microsoft is not doing well.

907
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 8: People are switching to Linux like crazy because they don't

908
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 8: want to be They don't want to deal with AI

909
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:42,720
Speaker 8: generated code that just doesn't work that well.

910
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:44,800
Speaker 1: Well in the energy.

911
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 2: It takes right these processing plans to be able to

912
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 2: give the energy it needs. To keep the AI going right,

913
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 2: that's going to be very expensive.

914
00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 8: And not a lot of people talk about this, but

915
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 8: you probably knows the gold and silver price is going up.

916
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 8: But that's because gold and silver is used in microchips.

917
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 8: And another thing I'd like to mention is that you

918
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 8: know a lot of you know, a lot of countries

919
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 8: in Europe have abandoned nuclear power because they think that

920
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,840
Speaker 8: it's unsafe. It's a lot safer than a lot of

921
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,879
Speaker 8: other sources out there, and it's actually a lot more

922
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:25,800
Speaker 8: easy to get than solar and wind. So my and

923
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 8: and and other people are wondering how do we store energy?

924
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 8: We already have a solution to that. When you build

925
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 8: a dam, there's a little thing you can do where

926
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:38,280
Speaker 8: if there's not if there's not a lot of demand

927
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 8: for power, you you put you close the you you

928
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 8: close the box, you close the shoots or whatever, and

929
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,280
Speaker 8: the turbines don't run, or you can use that excess

930
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 8: energy to pump water back up into the damage. Basic

931
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 8: it's basically a giant battery.

932
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 5: At that point.

933
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 8: You combine that with a nuclear power plant, and we

934
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 8: have more than enough energy to deal with this until

935
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 8: few reaction becomes viable as an energy or as a

936
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 8: renewable energy source.

937
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 2: Well, I'm one of those people that is very afraid

938
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 2: of nuclear power and nuclear energy.

939
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 9: So totally understand I am.

940
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 1: I am somebody that's like whoa.

941
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I learned that back when I was in Xavior,

942
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 2: and that was that scared me from and still does

943
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:23,439
Speaker 2: with nuclear power.

944
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 8: Well, I mean, you know, believe it or not, it's

945
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 8: actually more dangerous to work in a coal power plant

946
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 8: than it is a nuclear power plant, and coal causes

947
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,000
Speaker 8: a lot more pollution than radiation it does.

948
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 5: In the United States.

949
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 8: A lot of people don't realize this, but the only

950
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,240
Speaker 8: reason Chernobyl was as bad as it was was because

951
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 8: they didn't care about safety. Like most communist regimes, they

952
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 8: don't care about safety. But places like Three Mile Island

953
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,320
Speaker 8: or Fukushima we were on top of that not a

954
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 8: lot of not a lot of people were hurt. And

955
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 8: you know, compared to the damage done by all of

956
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 8: these coal and gas power plants, nuclear power is safer

957
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 8: by miles because here in the West we actually know

958
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 8: how to do it safely.

959
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 1: Well, I gotta tell you this has been an enlightening conversation.

960
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 2: I am very glad you stayed on hald Brian, and

961
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 2: I'm I think you have a very bright future, so

962
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,239
Speaker 2: keep going, and I I would love for you to

963
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 2: call back again sometime because it was really great to

964
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 2: It was great to talk to you. Drive you're and lyft.

965
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:33,400
Speaker 2: Drive safely, Drive safely tonight.

966
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:34,239
Speaker 6: Is it ever?

967
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: Is it ever scary for you?

968
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 2: Have you ever had issues in a lift car or

969
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:42,720
Speaker 2: is that is that something you've never had to deal.

970
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: With, because I'm.

971
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:48,320
Speaker 8: There's there's definitely been some issues, but I'd rather not

972
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 8: go into the details, you know, Fifth Amendment and all that.

973
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, well, drive safe and I appreciate the call.

974
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 9: All right, thank you very much and have a good

975
00:50:59,040 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 9: one you too.

976
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 1: Bye bye. So wow, we got into a lot.

977
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 2: I wasn't anticipating that, but you know, when you have

978
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:09,320
Speaker 2: a good conversation with somebody, it just keeps going. So relationships,

979
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:13,399
Speaker 2: as we were talking about, they're dependent on people's level

980
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 2: of happiness.

981
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 1: If you're or peace, whatever you want to call it.

982
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 2: If you're working two to three jobs to make ends meet,

983
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 2: you're still stressed out about money, too exhausted to play

984
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 2: with the kids and loving your spouse, we all suffer.

985
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 2: Kind of too, because we interact with road rage drivers

986
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 2: and customers being rude to workers and things like that.

987
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:36,280
Speaker 1: It's a ripple effect.

988
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:42,399
Speaker 2: When people are unhappy, whether it's from scrolling too much,

989
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 2: whether they're lonely, whether it's financial issues, and that is

990
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 2: a big deal financial issues for people.

991
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:53,000
Speaker 1: It is very scary when you are worried about money.

992
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 2: There was a pretty big Supreme Court decision yesterday and

993
00:51:57,080 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 2: President Trump's tariffs, these tariffs that we're supposed to bring

994
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 2: a ton of money in for the American people in

995
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 2: small businesses. It turns out the Supreme Court ruled that

996
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 2: the President Trump's tariffs were illegal by a six to

997
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 2: three margin. How did President Trump respond? Well, yesterday he

998
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:18,280
Speaker 2: called for ten percent tariffs on everything, which is basically

999
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 2: a tax on the American people. And then today he

1000
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 2: added that it was not going to be ten percent,

1001
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 2: it was going to be fifteen percent on goods and

1002
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 2: services in this country. And you notice how expensive everything

1003
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 2: is lately, there have been one hundred and seventy five

1004
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 2: billion dollars in tariff revenue, but that is going to

1005
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,800
Speaker 2: be sent back to the companies versus giving it to

1006
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 2: the American people. You know, the remember the check that

1007
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 2: we were supposed to get something like two thousand dollars.

1008
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 2: That's not happening. We already have companies like Costco already

1009
00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 2: having lawsuits to try and get refunds from the tariffs.

1010
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 2: But that was a tax on the American people. We

1011
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 2: paid for more for everything. I mean, how much do

1012
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,320
Speaker 2: you pay? What is your what is your biggest monthly

1013
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 2: bill other than your mortgage?

1014
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:22,400
Speaker 1: Is it groceries? Groceries? If you have four.

1015
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 2: People in your household, how big is your grocery bill

1016
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 2: a month, weekly, even or is it your electricity or

1017
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 2: your health insurance? These are some of the problems that

1018
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 2: we're facing in this country. Everything has gotten more expensive,

1019
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:39,959
Speaker 2: and the tariffs are illegal, and they brought in some money,

1020
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 2: but they're not going back to the American people. We're

1021
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 2: going to talk about that and taking your calls. Five

1022
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 2: one three some four nine seven eight hundred the big one.

1023
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 2: What do you think of the Supreme Court Justice's decision

1024
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,279
Speaker 2: on Trump's tariffs? Way in here, five one three some

1025
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:57,399
Speaker 2: four nine seven thousand, We're going to be right back.

1026
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 2: It's Donna D seven hundred WL Cincinnati.

1027
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 5: So if they're expecting to get the money back, country X.

1028
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 10: No, no, no, no.

1029
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 9: If the brokers are expecting to get the back, they

1030
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 9: gambled in that money, just like they played in the market,

1031
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 9: just like everybody else did. And if company us they

1032
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:17,879
Speaker 9: wants their money back, they don't get no none back.

1033
00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 5: And all they able to give us feedback. No, I

1034
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 5: don't think they.

1035
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 2: We're not going to see a bit of that one

1036
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy five billion. It's in an account somewhere.

1037
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:30,320
Speaker 2: We don't know where it is. We have no idea

1038
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:34,160
Speaker 2: where that is. And we were all every American because

1039
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 2: it costs probably close to two thousand dollars at least

1040
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:43,320
Speaker 2: since these tariffs have been in effect for us paying

1041
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,400
Speaker 2: for things that are I mean, what is your grocery

1042
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:49,400
Speaker 2: bill right now, Jim? Has it gone up as your

1043
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 2: has your heat and electric gone up? As you know,

1044
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 2: any any price of anything. Everything seems to be going

1045
00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,840
Speaker 2: going up. We're all paying more for it.

1046
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 9: I don't know, well, eggs and gas is definitely going down.

1047
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 9: I'm fortunate enough. I've got a home, so I haven't

1048
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 9: got to worry about stuff like that, and eat I

1049
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:13,320
Speaker 9: eat with woods, so I'm fortunate in lots of ways.

1050
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 9: But that's when people working all their lots, not sitting

1051
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 9: out on the street, criming and begging and crying and

1052
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:22,600
Speaker 9: protesting about what they ain't got from time they're sixteen

1053
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 9: to the thirty years old before they decided to work

1054
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:25,760
Speaker 9: and do something.

1055
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 2: You know, I can tell you I have worked my

1056
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 2: entire life too, and it seems like we're going to

1057
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 2: continue to work because you know, now six figures in

1058
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:40,440
Speaker 2: this in this come in this country doesn't seem like

1059
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:41,280
Speaker 2: a lot anymore.

1060
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 1: Remember when six figures seemed like a lodgem?

1061
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 5: Oh yeah?

1062
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 9: And I remember sitting when I have a six seven

1063
00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:52,480
Speaker 9: eight year old boy down here listening in on the

1064
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 9: news six o'clock every evening.

1065
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 6: It come on.

1066
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 9: I love sitting down watching the news with the dad.

1067
00:55:56,719 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 9: And you know, up till I was probably ten years old,

1068
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,719
Speaker 9: if somebody become a millionaire, I mean I remember, they

1069
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:04,959
Speaker 9: made international news.

1070
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 2: Well, tell me what you think is going to happen

1071
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:11,919
Speaker 2: here with these tariffs. I mean President Trump just said

1072
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 2: he put fifteen percent on. That's not going to happen

1073
00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 2: because it's they've already ruled it that these are illegal tariffs.

1074
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 2: The Supreme Court has What do you think is going

1075
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 2: to happen here.

1076
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:28,880
Speaker 9: I think that I think it's I think it's it's

1077
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 9: going to be a fight for the man to do

1078
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 9: what he wants to do. You know, it seems like

1079
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:35,680
Speaker 9: there's one judge there told him a ten percent range

1080
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 9: he could get in. You know, I think it's going

1081
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:42,240
Speaker 9: to be a fight for him anyway he turns because

1082
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 9: of the way politics is, the way this country is divided,

1083
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 9: and it's not so much as a political divide. It's

1084
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:53,360
Speaker 9: just an idiot, idiolicy divide, I think in this country.

1085
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 9: Because there's a bunch of strange things that's going on

1086
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 9: in this country that just a that a that ain't

1087
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 9: gonna I ain't gonna play out forever because it can't

1088
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 9: continue like this. But uh, as far as the tariffs go,

1089
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:10,239
Speaker 9: uh uh, he's going to push it all he can

1090
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 9: and he's gonna he's going on.

1091
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:14,320
Speaker 1: Do you think it's a good idea? Because we already

1092
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 1: just talked about who pays the tariffs? We do, consumers do?

1093
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 2: So do you think it's a good idea to have

1094
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 2: these tariffs? Because it hasn't been working, Like everything just

1095
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 2: keeps going up. Eggs and gas for you and you

1096
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:30,800
Speaker 2: don't have to have heat and things like that. There

1097
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 2: are some things, but like my grocery bill is.

1098
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 9: Gone, I can add it adds a long term because

1099
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 9: you know I haven't. I'm not the one up are

1100
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 9: able to dig through the numbers to see how other countries,

1101
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 9: how they are not playing fire. You know, the whole

1102
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 9: deal about the Chinese end, you know gets a dollar.

1103
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 9: You know they say, you know, they they don't. They

1104
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 9: don't show the true numbers on that, and you know

1105
00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 9: they seem to. But you know, you got to remember

1106
00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 9: back in the seventies, a lot of these countries they

1107
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 9: considered third world countries till President Reagan signed it into

1108
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 9: law where all of our businesses in our industries could

1109
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 9: be moved over these third world countries, which for ten

1110
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 9: fifteen years even still today, their probaduct quality is nothing

1111
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:19,440
Speaker 9: what the United States was from after from the baby

1112
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 9: boomer age up to until they moved all these industries out.

1113
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 9: But they in turn or didn't turn into third world

1114
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 9: countries because you take somebody like China they say three

1115
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 9: to four b and people, you know, there's a lot

1116
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 9: of people in that country that now you know, have things,

1117
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 9: and it's a lot different. So any stress of followers

1118
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 9: come and now a lot.

1119
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 5: Of millionaires and things like that over.

1120
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 9: There, people in different different categories of their place of

1121
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 9: being over there.

1122
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 5: So you know, they're used to making money and.

1123
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,440
Speaker 9: Doing things and a lot more than what they did

1124
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 9: forty years ago. So they'd have a fight on their hand,

1125
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 9: and they would be just as bad safe as anybody is.

1126
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 9: If you come try to take something away what they're

1127
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 9: used to for the last forty years, I will they

1128
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 9: can changed, you know. Yeah.

1129
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 2: I will say that the farmers in this country are

1130
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:22,080
Speaker 2: certainly happy that these tariffs have been you know, illegal

1131
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 2: by the Supreme Court, and they'll be able to because

1132
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:29,120
Speaker 2: the tariffs on them have been extreme.

1133
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 1: These farmers are going out of business.

1134
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 2: They couldn't even get loans because of the tariffs and

1135
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 2: things like that. So there's going to be a lot

1136
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:40,479
Speaker 2: more people I think happy that these tariffs are gone

1137
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 2: and that they by the Supreme Court have been done illegal.

1138
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:47,080
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens. We'll see what plays out,

1139
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 2: but I think the farmers in this country are me.

1140
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 9: Happy about it. I would like to say one thing

1141
00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 9: about all the time that this country has done for

1142
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 9: the world and trying to brace it up and do.

1143
00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 9: It is his example of these industries and these companies

1144
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:07,640
Speaker 9: that went overseas and and they had been able to

1145
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 9: do and take care of their own now to compete with.

1146
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 13: Us, and uh uh, you know, this country has done

1147
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:20,439
Speaker 13: a lot for the world and now and they won't

1148
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 13: talk bad about us.

1149
01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 9: But you know, if we wanted to be so bad

1150
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 9: when we kept these companies here in the eighties. But

1151
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 9: of course, you know that comes with greedy to the

1152
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 9: people here. I believe you know, business is business, but

1153
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 9: it is what it is, yea. But for any other

1154
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 9: country to say we were so tight and so stingy,

1155
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 9: we gave them all off of them and they did

1156
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 9: they didn't prove themselves. Jim, I know you.

01:00:58,440 --> 01:00:59,000
Speaker 1: What do you think?

1165
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 2: Oh, you're parents, you're you're in the social media thing.

1166
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:04,959
Speaker 2: Tell me what you think on the social media, because

1167
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 2: we're talking about unhappiness being a on the decline for Americans,

1168
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:13,120
Speaker 2: for humans really even the UK and a lot of it.

1169
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 2: We've talked about the social media aspect of it where

1170
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 2: it's doom scrolling and and parents are really having to

1171
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 2: pay attention to it.

1172
01:01:21,120 --> 01:01:22,480
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on it?

1173
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 7: Well, you know, we have.

1174
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:31,320
Speaker 14: Children and it's a great big responsibility to take care

1175
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 14: of these kids and to grow them up and to

1176
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 14: teach them discipline. And you know the Bible, we we're

1177
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 14: Jesus said go and make disciples of everybody. So you

1178
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 14: know we've learned to be disciplined and we have to

1179
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 14: pass that down.

1180
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 6: To our kids.

1181
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,280
Speaker 14: But you know, as far as the tariffs and what

1182
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 14: people are struggling was their money. You know, there was

1183
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 14: a time I watched an eye. We didn't know when

1184
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:58,040
Speaker 14: we were going to eat. Yeah, but the Lord always

1185
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 14: came through and it took a big relief off of

1186
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 14: me when I didn't have to worry about money anymore.

1187
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 2: It's it is a big It's not only is it

1188
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:09,920
Speaker 2: an issue with personally, but when you have a family

1189
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 2: and the stress it puts on relationships.

1190
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:17,959
Speaker 1: Not I mean even trying to get your claw your.

1191
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 2: Way into a better job, into a you know, making

1192
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 2: more more salary, better earning potential. I mean, it's just

1193
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 2: it's so stressful for people. And the wealth disparagy and

1194
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:32,920
Speaker 2: the disparagy in this country. There's there's there's close to

1195
01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 2: one thousand billionaires in the United States alone, a thousand

1196
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 2: and millionaires. There's a ton of them, but billionaires, they

1197
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 2: are close to a thousand.

1198
01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 5: That's incredible.

1199
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is incredible.

1200
01:02:46,120 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 14: We've got to be the richest country on the earth.

1201
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:51,960
Speaker 14: But if I could just say, if people would give

1202
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 14: their life totally over to the Lord, my wife and

1203
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 14: I haven't had to worry about money at all. And

1204
01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 14: we were court one time, and now we got a

1205
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 14: real big for one K, we got a financial advisor.

1206
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:05,560
Speaker 14: We we've always paid our ties and we've given offerings

1207
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:08,000
Speaker 14: and everything. So we really don't have to worry about

1208
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 14: money at all. But there was a time that we

1209
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:12,320
Speaker 14: didn't know where the next meal was gonna come.

1210
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do believe.

1211
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 2: I do believe when you give, Brett, I really do

1212
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 2: believe when you give, you will receive it as well.

1213
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:24,040
Speaker 1: I love that. So I'm so glad you don't have

1214
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 1: any money issues.

1215
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:27,680
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people that are struggling, and uh,

1216
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 2: you know, it's it's heartbreaking.

1217
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 14: Yeah, and we give, you know, we give the sat

Speaker 1: That's great.

1221
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 5: And the problem is all over the world.

1222
01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:42,360

Speaker 1: So we're going to change topics here because.

1231
01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 2: It's been a lot of the show on unhappiness and

1232
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:08,480
Speaker 2: this actually was an interesting documentary that I saw. I

1233
01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:14,240
Speaker 2: finally watched the Chevy Chase documentary. I think it's on Prime.

1234
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 2: And I've always been such a huge, huge fan of

1235
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 2: Chevy Chase's movies. I mean, from Foul Play seems like

1236
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:23,200
Speaker 2: old times Caddy Shack Fled.

1237
01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:25,480
Speaker 1: I mean, of course the Vacation movies.

1238
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 2: Christmas Vacation has been, you know, my long standing favorite

1239
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:30,840
Speaker 2: Christmas movie of all time.

1240
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:33,880
Speaker 1: Have you seen this documentary on Chevy Chase.

1241
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 2: I mean, he calls himself in the documentary in the

1242
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:41,960
Speaker 2: very few you know moments in the very beginning as

1243
01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 2: it starts, he's just an angry child old that's what

1244
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 2: he calls himself. I mean, his ego was huge, and

1245
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:52,680
Speaker 2: it was kind of hard to look at my favorite

1246
01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 2: actor like that. He was one of my favorite actors

1247
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 2: from Saturday Night Live. I mean, go on, But you

1248
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:02,200
Speaker 2: know I heard stories about Chevy Chase throughout the years,

1249
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 2: and he was kind of an angry guy and he

1250
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:09,080
Speaker 2: treated people without any respect. And you can't do that

1251
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 2: for very long and have a good reputation in continuing

1252
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:15,160
Speaker 2: to do what he was doing. I mean, he was

1253
01:05:15,240 --> 01:05:17,919
Speaker 2: successful for so long, but directors didn't want to work

1254
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 2: with the other actors didn't want to work with him.

1255
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:24,880
Speaker 2: And then, you know, as the documentary went on, he

1256
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:28,600
Speaker 2: had some pretty big flops, like Invisible Man was a

1257
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:32,040
Speaker 2: terrible movie. He had quite a few, and then a

1258
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:34,680
Speaker 2: friend of his talked him into doing a talk show

1259
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:40,280
Speaker 2: and that was terrible, and he actually found out Fox

1260
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:43,800
Speaker 2: had canceled it on his fiftieth birthday. Well, the thing

1261
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:46,960
Speaker 2: about that is he went into a terrible depression and

1262
01:05:47,600 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 2: he talked about it and it was filmed like he

1263
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 2: would not get out of his bed. He wouldn't get

1264
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:55,760
Speaker 2: out of his room, and it went on for quite

1265
01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:58,000
Speaker 2: a long time, maybe six years. He was in a

1266
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:00,840
Speaker 2: depression and he had, you know, a wife that he

1267
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:03,640
Speaker 2: loved and three daughters. It could it really could happen

1268
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:07,640
Speaker 2: to anybody. But what got him out of it? And

1269
01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:10,959
Speaker 2: I love the story and it was worth watching the documentary.

1270
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:15,560
Speaker 2: The whole thing is Chevy Chase is a big piano

1271
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 2: player and his daughter, who was young at the time,

1272
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:23,440
Speaker 2: was learning how to play piano. And she said she

1273
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 2: would practice the piano and every now and then it

1274
01:06:28,280 --> 01:06:31,640
Speaker 2: would get Chevy out of his bed and he would

1275
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:34,720
Speaker 2: go downstairs and play with her and teach her piano.

1276
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 2: So she said, I would play for hours and hours

1277
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 2: because it was the one thing that got him out

1278
01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 2: of his room. And I just it just made the

1279
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 2: whole documentary, the fact that he was able to get

1280
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:47,600
Speaker 2: out of it. And I know there are quite a

1281
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:50,400
Speaker 2: few people struggling, And I was just talking to our

1282
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:54,240
Speaker 2: last caller about that. Have you been able to pull

1283
01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:57,480
Speaker 2: yourself out of a dark period? What was the best

1284
01:06:57,560 --> 01:07:00,240
Speaker 2: thing you ever did for your mental health? I went

1285
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:02,880
Speaker 2: three seven four nine, seven thousand. I mean, if you

1286
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 2: think about, you know, even just playing a musical instrument,

1287
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:13,120
Speaker 2: or having your child, you know practice. She would do

1288
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:15,560
Speaker 2: it just to get him out of his room, and

1289
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:19,320
Speaker 2: it worked. He would go down there and play piano

1290
01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 2: with her and just to get her, you know, out

1291
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 2: of of get him out of his room. And he'd

1292
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 2: played for hours down there, and it really worked and

1293
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:33,240
Speaker 2: he ended up getting getting out of this depression.

1294
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 12: I know.

1295
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 1: For animal lovers, pets are a huge.

1296
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:42,960
Speaker 2: Source of inspiration and like best friends, when they're when

1297
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 2: people are depressed and down, you can play with a

1298
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 2: dog or your cat. I recently fostered a dog from

1299
01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Animal Care CAC and he's been with me for

1300
01:07:57,560 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 2: four months, and I am I am this close ninety

1301
01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:06,840
Speaker 2: percent sure. Since he's been with me for so long,

1302
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:11,840
Speaker 2: I can't imagine not having him anymore. I have made

1303
01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:15,880
Speaker 2: the ninety eight percent, I will say, decision that I'm

1304
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 2: probably going to adopt this dog. The only reason why

1305
01:08:19,240 --> 01:08:22,320
Speaker 2: I am not doing it, or have not pulled the

1306
01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:25,479
Speaker 2: trigger fully is because I travel a lot. But I

1307
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 2: do have some good support with friends that will watch

1308
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:33,720
Speaker 2: and take care of him when I'm gone. But this

1309
01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:37,400
Speaker 2: dog won me over, and I absolutely know that if

1310
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:42,240
Speaker 2: there's a dark time in your life that you're trying

1311
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 2: to work through because it happens to all of us.

1312
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:50,760
Speaker 2: There's definitely things that you can do, and even fostering

1313
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:54,760
Speaker 2: or going in walking dogs for Cincinnati Animal Care is

1314
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:57,679
Speaker 2: a huge boost in terms of mood.

1315
01:08:57,840 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 1: Doing something that is good for the community.

1316
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:04,519
Speaker 2: That is probably the best way to get yourself out

1317
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 2: of a depression. We're going to come back. We're going

1318
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 2: to talk about the big hockey game tomorrow. It's a

1319
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:14,760
Speaker 2: pretty big deal tomorrow morning. It's early, so we're going

1320
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:17,439
Speaker 2: to talk about it. But it's chance for USA to

1321
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:20,000
Speaker 2: win gold and we haven't done that since the Miracle

1322
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:21,599
Speaker 2: on Ice and that was a big deal.

1323
01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:24,040
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that when we come back.

1324
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 2: It's Dona D Saturday night, seven hundred WLW Cincinnati. HI

1325
01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:31,559
Speaker 2: have forty five today, but it's going to.

1326
01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 1: Be chilly tomorrow.

1327
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 2: I have only thirty one thirty one on Monday and

1328
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:37,040
Speaker 2: then it gets a little bit warmer.

1329
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:39,559
Speaker 1: It's Dona D Saturday night.

1330
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:42,759
Speaker 2: So we've been talking about the decline of happiness in humans.

1331
01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:46,000
Speaker 2: It's been the topic of discussion all night. There's several

1332
01:09:46,160 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 2: reasons why we've talked about social media.

1333
01:09:49,880 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 1: Certainly that's a big one.

1334
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:57,560
Speaker 2: COVID discourse in politics how we are divided. But I

1335
01:09:57,680 --> 01:10:01,559
Speaker 2: want to talk about how now we can really bring

1336
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:05,479
Speaker 2: ourselves back together, right, And it always starts with making

1337
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:08,800
Speaker 2: yourself happy. Because if you're if you're angry, and you're

1338
01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 2: get off my lawn person, and you're and you're you know,

1339
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:14,400
Speaker 2: can't can't get along with anybody.

1340
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:15,400
Speaker 1: It's not them, it's you.

1341
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 2: So we have to figure out what it is that

1342
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:22,599
Speaker 2: is making you unhappy and change it, or we can

1343
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:26,880
Speaker 2: just start doing positive things. For instance, I have been

1344
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:30,760
Speaker 2: practicing because I'm somebody that goes ninety miles an hour.

1345
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:33,960
Speaker 2: I can multitask, I can do a million things. I'm

1346
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:36,840
Speaker 2: reading my computer, I'm looking at the phones, I'm looking

1347
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:39,160
Speaker 2: at the internet. We have two screens in the studio.

1348
01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:43,320
Speaker 2: There's a lot going on just behind the board here.

1349
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 2: But if we can, if we can slow it down.

1350
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:52,439
Speaker 2: And I talked about this in my yoga class this morning,

1351
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:57,760
Speaker 2: slowing everything down, just taking it back a bit at

1352
01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:03,040
Speaker 2: least for those that are so fast and manic about things,

1353
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:05,840
Speaker 2: cleaning the house, cooking dinner. We've got to get through this.

1354
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 2: We've got to get through that. It really causes a

1355
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:13,200
Speaker 2: problem in our nervous system. And when we go ninety

1356
01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:18,160
Speaker 2: miles an hour, nervous system becomes overstimulated by moving so fast.

1357
01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:22,320
Speaker 2: We send signals to our brain when we move so

1358
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:28,679
Speaker 2: fast that there's danger close. Keep racing, keep clenching, keep

1359
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:35,400
Speaker 2: sending anxiety, keep sending insomnia. It's usually because there's no peace,

1360
01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 2: because we're moving at a rapid pace and it's a

1361
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:46,040
Speaker 2: constant race for no reason. So slowing it down, taking

1362
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:50,200
Speaker 2: a breath. I am really learning this on another level.

1363
01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:53,240
Speaker 2: I mean and when I say slowing it down, I

1364
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:59,439
Speaker 2: mean walking slower, I mean driving slower, eating my food slower.

1365
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:02,320
Speaker 2: That's a bit big deal, Holy smokes. In fact, I've

1366
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:04,519
Speaker 2: been eating my food so much, low on board with it,

1367
01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:07,919
Speaker 2: and you eat a little bit less, which is interesting.

1368
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 2: Talking slower. So I literally take five five seconds before

1369
01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:23,080
Speaker 2: I respond to somebody asking me a question. And that

1370
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:27,000
Speaker 2: has really been important because I enjoy everything that I

1371
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:28,120
Speaker 2: do a little bit more.

1372
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:30,439
Speaker 1: I listen more, I.

1373
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:37,080
Speaker 2: Walk quieter, I set my teacup down a little bit

1374
01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:42,719
Speaker 2: more gentler. It's really it is life changing to slow

1375
01:12:42,840 --> 01:12:47,120
Speaker 2: down and consciously do things. So what makes you happy?

1376
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 2: That's what I want to know. Five one, three, seven,

1377
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:50,280
Speaker 2: four nine seven thousand.

1378
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 1: What are you doing?

1379
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:55,360
Speaker 2: Because if happiness is on the decline, what are you

1380
01:12:55,680 --> 01:13:01,160
Speaker 2: doing to make your life either more peaceful or more happy?

1381
01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:06,280
Speaker 2: Because you know, even though it's on the decline, there

1382
01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:09,040
Speaker 2: are a lot of people that are still happy, still optimistic,

1383
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 2: still positive. How about when you connect with your partner.

1384
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:20,559
Speaker 2: You know, I coach couples, and I have to say

1385
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:22,960
Speaker 2: I've been working with this couple for about six weeks

1386
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:24,880
Speaker 2: and we started.

1387
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:27,519
Speaker 1: Just by being kind.

1388
01:13:27,680 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 2: We started with where they were and how they were

1389
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:34,000
Speaker 2: behaving to each other, not going back to fights or

1390
01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:37,200
Speaker 2: arguments or things like that. Where are we now and

1391
01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:41,040
Speaker 2: how are we talking to each other? And just doing

1392
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:46,839
Speaker 2: random exercises. I've mentioned this before. Is made a world

1393
01:13:47,439 --> 01:13:50,160
Speaker 2: of difference in this couple's relationship, and I can tell

1394
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:55,320
Speaker 2: you their level of happiness in their lives together has

1395
01:13:55,479 --> 01:14:01,080
Speaker 2: been off the charts amazing in six weeks. Literally, if

1396
01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:05,000
Speaker 2: you start sending your partner a random text out of

1397
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:07,360
Speaker 2: the blue, like for instance, I said, let's do it

1398
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:10,560
Speaker 2: every single day, send your partner a random text. What

1399
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:12,800
Speaker 2: do you adore about them? What did they do right?

1400
01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:18,960
Speaker 2: What do you love about them? What are you attracted

1401
01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:23,680
Speaker 2: about them? The other another exercise that has turned this

1402
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:28,400
Speaker 2: couple into very unhappy into happy is sitting in front

1403
01:14:28,439 --> 01:14:34,080
Speaker 2: of one another for two minutes and breathing and looking

1404
01:14:34,120 --> 01:14:38,080
Speaker 2: at each other's eyes. They actually said they couldn't stop

1405
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:40,160
Speaker 2: laughing because it can be funny.

1406
01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:43,839
Speaker 1: And that happens when you do things that are intimate

1407
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 1: like that.

1408
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:48,519
Speaker 2: When was the last time you talked to somebody that

1409
01:14:48,680 --> 01:14:53,280
Speaker 2: you looked deeply into their eyes? That is a very

1410
01:14:53,760 --> 01:14:58,960
Speaker 2: loving and connected thing to do. Or the walk and talk.

1411
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:02,960
Speaker 2: You walk and you talk, you go for a walk

1412
01:15:04,520 --> 01:15:08,800
Speaker 2: and you talk about positive things. It's not the time

1413
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:12,679
Speaker 2: to fix problems. It is the time to be in nature.

1414
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:15,880
Speaker 2: It is time to talk about what you're excited about

1415
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:20,400
Speaker 2: in your life, talk about what your dreams are, anything

1416
01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:21,800
Speaker 2: that's going to be positive.

1417
01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:24,920
Speaker 1: And then, of course being in nature is so helpful.

1418
01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:29,640
Speaker 2: And maybe it's starting to create a community in your neighborhood,

1419
01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:34,040
Speaker 2: like I started a woman's Coffee and Tea on Sundays,

1420
01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:38,200
Speaker 2: seven women meeting on a Sunday morning to connect and

1421
01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:41,960
Speaker 2: meet others and get out of their house where you

1422
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:44,800
Speaker 2: would have either coffee or tea by yourself. Nope, it's

1423
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:48,360
Speaker 2: getting dressed, it's going out, it's getting in your car.

1424
01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:51,880
Speaker 2: It's driving to meet somewhere and meet a bunch of

1425
01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:58,360
Speaker 2: new people. And how amazing is that when you start

1426
01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:01,680
Speaker 2: looking at what you're missing in life in terms of

1427
01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:03,720
Speaker 2: level of happiness.

1428
01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:08,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I was just asked this question two days ago.

1429
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:11,400
Speaker 1: Are you happy overall?

1430
01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:16,120
Speaker 2: Yeah? Overall? I would say my level of happiness if

1431
01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:18,200
Speaker 2: I were if I were to give it a number

1432
01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:21,800
Speaker 2: one to ten, I would say eight as a level

1433
01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:26,000
Speaker 2: of happiness. Where are you at on the scale and

1434
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:32,000
Speaker 2: what is your responsibility to make yourself happy? We talked

1435
01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:35,479
Speaker 2: about getting off social media. Yes, that would be a

1436
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 2: good start, or at least limit that, because we know,

1437
01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:47,200
Speaker 2: especially in children, staying on social media and all the

1438
01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:50,479
Speaker 2: pressures and all the things that go with seeing all

1439
01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:55,040
Speaker 2: the stuff on social media causes unhappiness. We know loneliness

1440
01:16:55,760 --> 01:16:59,320
Speaker 2: causes unhappiness. If you don't have a good friend group,

1441
01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:02,479
Speaker 2: or you're not connected with anybody and you're just on

1442
01:17:02,600 --> 01:17:05,719
Speaker 2: your phone or you're gaming all the time, that creates

1443
01:17:06,120 --> 01:17:10,040
Speaker 2: a level of unhappiness. We know the political divide in

1444
01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 2: this country. It literally says political hate and discourse is

1445
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:21,360
Speaker 2: causing unhappiness in people if you think about it. Families

1446
01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:25,880
Speaker 2: have been destroyed over political divide.

1447
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:28,760
Speaker 1: And why is that?

1448
01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:34,080
Speaker 2: Is it because of the culture wars that we're always

1449
01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:39,320
Speaker 2: being pitted against each other. I mean, if you think

1450
01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:46,200
Speaker 2: about it, because financial issues are causing unhappiness, it really

1451
01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:52,560
Speaker 2: is the people that make decisions in this country, the

1452
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 2: billionaires pretty much. And there's three of them. We've talked

1453
01:17:57,160 --> 01:18:02,920
Speaker 2: about it. There's three people in this country that make

1454
01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:07,960
Speaker 2: more money than the entire middle class. That's Elon Musk,

1455
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:13,519
Speaker 2: Mark Zuckerberberg and Jeff Bezos. Those three people in the

1456
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:17,479
Speaker 2: country make more money combined than what one hundred and

1457
01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:24,200
Speaker 2: sixty five million people. Is that causing our unhappiness? Yeah,

1458
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:27,400
Speaker 2: a little bit, because it's the top versus the bottom.

1459
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:34,280
Speaker 2: It's not right versus left, it's top versus bottom. If

1460
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:38,080
Speaker 2: you really get into the nitty gritty of it, there

1461
01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:44,040
Speaker 2: are people that are are being squeezed constantly, and financial

1462
01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:48,719
Speaker 2: pressure is a huge stress on people. It causes problems

1463
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:52,559
Speaker 2: in marriage, it causes problems in our society, in our

1464
01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:56,240
Speaker 2: in our communities, in our neighborhoods.

1465
01:18:56,960 --> 01:18:58,320
Speaker 1: And it's a trickle effect.

1466
01:18:59,160 --> 01:19:02,160
Speaker 2: So if somebody is working two or three jobs that

1467
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:07,320
Speaker 2: doesn't have money to you know, make ends meet and

1468
01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:09,640
Speaker 2: you've got two to three jobs and you're exhausted. What

1469
01:19:09,760 --> 01:19:11,680
Speaker 2: happens when you're playing with your kids, You don't have

1470
01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:15,160
Speaker 2: time for that, or you know, being loving towards your partner,

1471
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:20,920
Speaker 2: you have time for that, and oftentimes kids and animals suffer.

1472
01:19:23,240 --> 01:19:30,439
Speaker 2: And that creates a societal issue. And that's where we're at,

1473
01:19:33,439 --> 01:19:38,679
Speaker 2: and we're being distracted by social media and cultural wars

1474
01:19:39,200 --> 01:19:44,840
Speaker 2: and things like that to create this political divide. So

1475
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:49,360
Speaker 2: it's we're fighting against each other when really we should

1476
01:19:49,360 --> 01:19:51,160
Speaker 2: be demanding a little bit more.

1477
01:19:53,240 --> 01:19:55,360
Speaker 1: Wealth distribution.

1478
01:19:55,800 --> 01:20:01,280
Speaker 2: In my opinion, I think it is crazy that there

1479
01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:08,560
Speaker 2: are close to one thousand billionaires in this country, and

1480
01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:12,120
Speaker 2: there are people that can't pay their mortgage or their

1481
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:17,760
Speaker 2: rent because they have to buy their inhaler which is

1482
01:20:17,840 --> 01:20:23,400
Speaker 2: now five hundred dollars, because they have asthma. I mean,

1483
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:28,600
Speaker 2: there are ways that we can do and take responsibility

1484
01:20:28,680 --> 01:20:31,680
Speaker 2: for our own happiness, and I think that that is

1485
01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:34,200
Speaker 2: important to do, and I've mentioned quite a few of

1486
01:20:34,280 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 2: them just a minute ago on how we can become

1487
01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:42,599
Speaker 2: more happy in our own lives. Connecting connecting with our

1488
01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:45,679
Speaker 2: friends and family. That's a big one. Friends and family

1489
01:20:45,720 --> 01:20:50,400
Speaker 2: are a really big one. Having a purpose, a life's purpose,

1490
01:20:52,240 --> 01:20:55,160
Speaker 2: what do we here for? And finding that, what do

1491
01:20:55,240 --> 01:20:58,000
Speaker 2: you like to do? And being able to make a

1492
01:20:58,080 --> 01:21:01,280
Speaker 2: living doing that is a big deal in terms of

1493
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:07,400
Speaker 2: a level of happiness and peace in your life. I mean,

1494
01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:11,920
Speaker 2: life's purpose is probably right up there and trying to

1495
01:21:12,040 --> 01:21:16,200
Speaker 2: find it's not just about working, paying your bills and

1496
01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:19,480
Speaker 2: then you die. It's about how can I be productive?

1497
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:23,600
Speaker 2: How can I be loving in my community? That's important?

1498
01:21:25,880 --> 01:21:32,360
Speaker 2: And how many people have that. I remember watching Mel Robbins,

1499
01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:36,080
Speaker 2: who is a wellness coach and a writer best selling

1500
01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:39,080
Speaker 2: book called Let Them, and she talked about the time

1501
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:42,160
Speaker 2: where she was very dark place. She was very depressed.

1502
01:21:43,320 --> 01:21:46,120
Speaker 2: They had lost their business, she was in financial ruin.

1503
01:21:46,280 --> 01:21:51,080
Speaker 2: She owned eight hundred thousand dollars in debt, no job,

1504
01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:54,479
Speaker 2: three kids under the age of ten, and it was

1505
01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:55,800
Speaker 2: hard for her to get out of bed.

1506
01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:58,439
Speaker 1: Imagine the stress that that put on her.

1507
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:04,519
Speaker 2: And then she said she was watching TV one day

1508
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:08,880
Speaker 2: and she watched this rocket launch and she jumped up

1509
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:12,439
Speaker 2: and she said that's it, and she went five four

1510
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:18,200
Speaker 2: three two one, and she started that theory of watching

1511
01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:21,479
Speaker 2: the rocket launch. So she said she was no longer

1512
01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:24,880
Speaker 2: going to put the snooze button on. When she wakes up,

1513
01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:28,360
Speaker 2: she's gonna say, she's not gonna put the snooze button.

1514
01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:30,640
Speaker 2: She's going to say five four three two one. She

1515
01:22:30,760 --> 01:22:34,559
Speaker 2: gets out of bed, She literally launches out of bed

1516
01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:37,639
Speaker 2: and she gets to work, and that changed her life.

1517
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:41,160
Speaker 2: There's one thing that can change your life at any moment.

1518
01:22:43,160 --> 01:22:45,679
Speaker 2: And I know people are going through it. I know people.

1519
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:49,639
Speaker 1: You know they have challenges. We all do. We all

1520
01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:50,320
Speaker 1: have challenges.

1521
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:53,000
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying you know the billionaires of this

1522
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:56,120
Speaker 2: country or what's causing all the problems in our world, No,

1523
01:22:56,800 --> 01:22:58,760
Speaker 2: but I do think we need to figure that out

1524
01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 2: a little bit. I do think that there needs to

1525
01:23:01,600 --> 01:23:06,240
Speaker 2: be some wealth distribution. I do agree that you work

1526
01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:10,160
Speaker 2: hard and you make a living, and you should make

1527
01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:13,080
Speaker 2: as much as you want. I talked to Sterling about

1528
01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:16,400
Speaker 2: that early on, and we're going to come back and

1529
01:23:16,439 --> 01:23:20,320
Speaker 2: talk to him as well about it. But yes, that

1530
01:23:20,560 --> 01:23:23,639
Speaker 2: is what makes America great. You really should be able

1531
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:26,320
Speaker 2: to make as much money as you can. But how

1532
01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:30,000
Speaker 2: do you have billions and billions and billions of dollars

1533
01:23:30,080 --> 01:23:32,519
Speaker 2: and try to avoid paying taxes?

1534
01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:34,240
Speaker 1: Where you put?

1535
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:37,519
Speaker 2: You have this country that's been able to give you

1536
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:42,519
Speaker 2: all these things. I think, because you are so rich

1537
01:23:43,360 --> 01:23:45,800
Speaker 2: and you're a billionaire, you should pay your fair share

1538
01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:48,360
Speaker 2: of taxes. That's just the way I feel. If I

1539
01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:52,080
Speaker 2: was I wouldn't be arguing and saying I don't owe it.

1540
01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:55,639
Speaker 2: I would pay my fair share of taxes. But that's

1541
01:23:55,760 --> 01:24:00,920
Speaker 2: not why we're all unhappy. The unhappiness comes from the

1542
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:07,679
Speaker 2: way that we self soothe, the way that we stay

1543
01:24:07,720 --> 01:24:11,040
Speaker 2: on our phones and social media and things like that.

1544
01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:15,640
Speaker 1: And there has to be.

1545
01:24:17,439 --> 01:24:22,480
Speaker 2: Individual responsibility. And I'm very big on this individual responsibility

1546
01:24:22,600 --> 01:24:26,439
Speaker 2: on how to get yourself out of that. And there

1547
01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:29,880
Speaker 2: are a million ways. Obviously, eating right, those are the

1548
01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:35,840
Speaker 2: Those are the obvious ones. You know, having a good diet,

1549
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:38,920
Speaker 2: making sure you're getting plenty of fruits and veggies. That's

1550
01:24:38,960 --> 01:24:42,000
Speaker 2: a big thing. We all talk about this. We all

1551
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:44,680
Speaker 2: talk about how important it is to eat right. Your

1552
01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:49,360
Speaker 2: nutrition is a big way of your of handling your moods. Also,

1553
01:24:49,479 --> 01:24:54,160
Speaker 2: getting sunlight in the morning, even if even if the

1554
01:24:54,200 --> 01:24:56,439
Speaker 2: sun is behind the clouds, getting out early in the

1555
01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:58,960
Speaker 2: morning and going for a walk is a big deal,

1556
01:24:59,320 --> 01:25:02,040
Speaker 2: even if you don't feel like it. Those are the ones.

1557
01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:05,680
Speaker 2: Those are the happiest people on the planet. Actually when

1558
01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:10,479
Speaker 2: they do it anyway, do the hard stuff even when

1559
01:25:10,600 --> 01:25:13,240
Speaker 2: you don't feel like it. Working out is a big deal.

1560
01:25:13,400 --> 01:25:16,600
Speaker 2: Working out, eating right, getting out in nature. Those are

1561
01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:24,439
Speaker 2: all obvious things right to make yourself be happy. Even sports, right,

1562
01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:29,320
Speaker 2: sports give us an unbelievable joy in this country. And

1563
01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:33,080
Speaker 2: I think it's important to note because it's not a

1564
01:25:33,200 --> 01:25:36,640
Speaker 2: small thing if you enjoy sports like obviously.

1565
01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:39,479
Speaker 1: Football, baseball, things like that.

1566
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:45,960
Speaker 2: But hockey, and we're talking about there's a big hockey

1567
01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:47,479
Speaker 2: game tomorrow morning.

1568
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:48,280
Speaker 1: Huge hockey.

1569
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:51,479
Speaker 2: It's actually to win the gold tomorrow morning. It's Team

1570
01:25:51,600 --> 01:25:55,400
Speaker 2: USA and Team Canada. They're going to face off in

1571
01:25:55,479 --> 01:25:59,040
Speaker 2: the men's hockey gold Medal game for the twenty twenty

1572
01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:04,000
Speaker 2: six Winter elevens the men's ice hockey in Italy Milan.

1573
01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:07,800
Speaker 2: This is a big deal because we haven't won the

1574
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:12,080
Speaker 2: gold since Miracle on Ice, which was quite a while ago,

1575
01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:15,439
Speaker 2: and it's the anniversary tomorrow. We'll talk about that in

1576
01:26:15,560 --> 01:26:20,080
Speaker 2: a minute, but it's one of the most anticipated matchups

1577
01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:26,360
Speaker 2: and it's a classic rivalry for the gold. So are

1578
01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:29,280
Speaker 2: people going to get up and watch this tomorrow morning?

1579
01:26:29,400 --> 01:26:33,920
Speaker 2: It's eight ten Eastern time on NBC. Yes, Why because

1580
01:26:34,320 --> 01:26:38,799
Speaker 2: it's exciting. It's exhilarating, and I'm excited about it because

1581
01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:42,120
Speaker 2: we're gonna actually see a lot of spirit for Team USA.

1582
01:26:46,120 --> 01:26:49,040
Speaker 1: So even though there are a lot of things.

1583
01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:55,400
Speaker 2: That we can we can see that's gonna that does

1584
01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:59,000
Speaker 2: bring an unhappiness. And when you're in an unhappy or

1585
01:26:59,120 --> 01:27:03,880
Speaker 2: a dark or a depressed place, it seems like you've

1586
01:27:03,920 --> 01:27:06,120
Speaker 2: been in there forever and you're never going to get out.

1587
01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:11,040
Speaker 2: But you can, and it's an important thing to understand

1588
01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:14,920
Speaker 2: how to be able to do that for yourself. You

1589
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:17,320
Speaker 2: can always talk to somebody. You can talk to a friend.

1590
01:27:17,840 --> 01:27:20,880
Speaker 2: Therapy is a very big deal right now in this country.

1591
01:27:21,680 --> 01:27:25,360
Speaker 2: There are coaches, there are life coaches, relationship coaches, there

1592
01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:29,120
Speaker 2: are licensed marriage family therapists. Doctor Wes is usually on

1593
01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:31,040
Speaker 2: with me on this show. He'll be back by the

1594
01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:33,960
Speaker 2: way next Saturday. But that's why we go through this

1595
01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:36,800
Speaker 2: stuff is to be able to support you support the

1596
01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:43,400
Speaker 2: relationships that you have in your life. And Esther Parrell,

1597
01:27:43,720 --> 01:27:46,720
Speaker 2: a great long time therapist, say, the quality of your

1598
01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:50,520
Speaker 2: life is determined by the quality of your relationships. Imagine

1599
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:56,880
Speaker 2: how important those are and how you can strengthen them.

1600
01:27:58,200 --> 01:28:03,960
Speaker 2: It's a pretty big deal. So we have talked about it.

1601
01:28:04,080 --> 01:28:09,080
Speaker 2: We are going to continue this conversation on social media

1602
01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:14,759
Speaker 2: on how that affects because we mentioned earlier Australia now.

1603
01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:17,800
Speaker 1: They will not let.

1604
01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:23,759
Speaker 2: Kids under the age of sixteen get on social media accounts.

1605
01:28:24,320 --> 01:28:29,800
Speaker 2: It's kind of it's that detrimental to their health. They

1606
01:28:29,880 --> 01:28:37,200
Speaker 2: don't have the mental capacity to a stop the addiction

1607
01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:42,160
Speaker 2: that happens when you're doom scrolling, when you're on social

1608
01:28:42,240 --> 01:28:49,560
Speaker 2: media all the time. It is extremely addictive and it

1609
01:28:49,760 --> 01:28:54,919
Speaker 2: also causes all kinds of image issues, emotional and physical.

1610
01:28:56,160 --> 01:29:04,439
Speaker 2: Social media platforms are known to be harmful and twelve, thirteen, fourteen,

1611
01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:07,960
Speaker 2: fifteen year olds should not be on social media in

1612
01:29:08,080 --> 01:29:11,120
Speaker 2: my opinion, and I feel like, yes, our parents have

1613
01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:20,360
Speaker 2: a huge responsibility, but should we be allowing that. Mark Zuckerberg,

1614
01:29:20,479 --> 01:29:23,840
Speaker 2: founder of Facebook, appeared in court this week over allegations

1615
01:29:23,880 --> 01:29:28,360
Speaker 2: claiming his social media platforms deliberately contribute to addiction and

1616
01:29:28,479 --> 01:29:31,559
Speaker 2: harm among children, and this case is going to raise

1617
01:29:31,640 --> 01:29:38,439
Speaker 2: many concerns regarding social media responsibility, especially around children's safety.

1618
01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:42,439
Speaker 2: The case could have major implications for meta all the

1619
01:29:42,520 --> 01:29:46,920
Speaker 2: platforms and the future of social media. Should tech giants

1620
01:29:47,000 --> 01:29:50,840
Speaker 2: be responsible for the platform impact that's what this case is.

1621
01:29:50,920 --> 01:29:55,400
Speaker 2: That Mark Zuckerberg is in right now and we'll find out.

1622
01:29:56,720 --> 01:29:59,640
Speaker 2: We'll find out what happens. We're going to talk more

1623
01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:03,800
Speaker 2: about that coming up next, So more on that of course,

1624
01:30:03,880 --> 01:30:07,400
Speaker 2: the hockey game as well, the big USA versus Canada

1625
01:30:07,479 --> 01:30:08,120
Speaker 2: going for gold.

1626
01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:10,479
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that coming up as well. It's don

1627
01:30:10,560 --> 01:30:10,720
Speaker 1: A D.

1628
01:30:10,920 --> 01:30:14,600
Speaker 2: Saturday Night, seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati.

1629
01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:20,920
Speaker 1: Woo, and we're back.

1630
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:24,200
Speaker 2: It's don A D talking about why happiness in humans

1631
01:30:24,439 --> 01:30:29,240
Speaker 2: is declining and one of the reasons our lifeline, that thing.

1632
01:30:29,400 --> 01:30:32,639
Speaker 2: We can't stop holding on to that thing. We can't

1633
01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:35,360
Speaker 2: stop putting in our pocket, our purses. We carry it

1634
01:30:35,439 --> 01:30:38,920
Speaker 2: everywhere to the bathroom, we sleep with this thing. It

1635
01:30:39,080 --> 01:30:43,200
Speaker 2: is our iPhone and android and the constant scrolling on

1636
01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:46,920
Speaker 2: social media. It's driving us all insane and why can't

1637
01:30:47,400 --> 01:30:50,559
Speaker 2: we give it up. Australia just made a new law

1638
01:30:50,640 --> 01:30:53,080
Speaker 2: that you've got to be at least sixteen years old.

1639
01:30:53,680 --> 01:30:57,439
Speaker 2: At least sixteen years old to have your social media accounts.

1640
01:30:58,160 --> 01:31:04,160
Speaker 2: I mean we are talking anything from Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, snapchat,

1641
01:31:04,560 --> 01:31:05,800
Speaker 2: x YouTube and others.

1642
01:31:06,200 --> 01:31:08,360
Speaker 1: You have to be in Australia, in the.

1643
01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:13,360
Speaker 2: State of Australia in the country of Australia that you

1644
01:31:13,720 --> 01:31:19,720
Speaker 2: have to be sixteen at least sixteen years old to

1645
01:31:19,920 --> 01:31:23,040
Speaker 2: have any kind of social media accounts. You know, I

1646
01:31:23,240 --> 01:31:27,559
Speaker 2: really like this guy, Scott Galloway. He's very popular YU professor.

1647
01:31:28,080 --> 01:31:30,639
Speaker 2: He has his finger on the pulse and he's always

1648
01:31:30,800 --> 01:31:37,439
Speaker 2: talking about young men and their inner society problems and

1649
01:31:37,680 --> 01:31:41,040
Speaker 2: why they are so unhappy. And he really has his

1650
01:31:41,200 --> 01:31:44,120
Speaker 2: finger on the pulse here on this one clip, and

1651
01:31:44,160 --> 01:31:45,880
Speaker 2: I'm going to have Russ play it right now.

1652
01:31:46,680 --> 01:31:49,679
Speaker 11: One in seven men are called neats. There not in education,

1653
01:31:49,960 --> 01:31:54,120
Speaker 11: they're not in employed, and they're not in training. Effectively,

1654
01:31:54,200 --> 01:31:56,439
Speaker 11: you have the deepest pocketed companies in the world to

1655
01:31:56,479 --> 01:31:59,000
Speaker 11: represent forty percent of the SMP who have one mission

1656
01:31:59,040 --> 01:32:01,000
Speaker 11: and that is just a quest you from your family.

1657
01:32:01,479 --> 01:32:03,040
Speaker 11: And the way they do that is we used to

1658
01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:05,040
Speaker 11: think sex cells. We figure out there's something that sells

1659
01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:07,800
Speaker 11: better than sex, and that's rage. So you have a

1660
01:32:07,880 --> 01:32:10,600
Speaker 11: group of young men whose prefrontal cortex doesn't catch up

1661
01:32:10,640 --> 01:32:12,400
Speaker 11: to a woman until it's twenty five, is looking for

1662
01:32:12,479 --> 01:32:14,760
Speaker 11: that immediate DOPA and they think I can have a

1663
01:32:14,800 --> 01:32:17,160
Speaker 11: reasonable facsim way of life online. Why go through the

1664
01:32:17,200 --> 01:32:19,560
Speaker 11: pecking order of having friends. When I've discord and read it,

1665
01:32:19,920 --> 01:32:21,920
Speaker 11: Why go through the bs of putting on a tie

1666
01:32:21,960 --> 01:32:24,360
Speaker 11: and navigating the corporate world when I can trade stocks

1667
01:32:24,439 --> 01:32:28,040
Speaker 11: or crypto on coinbase or on Robinhood And why would

1668
01:32:28,040 --> 01:32:31,040
Speaker 11: I go through the humiliation, the expense, the rejection, the

1669
01:32:31,200 --> 01:32:34,800
Speaker 11: perseverance of trying to establish a romantic relationship when I

1670
01:32:34,880 --> 01:32:37,840
Speaker 11: have life like porn. Big tech is not our friend.

1671
01:32:38,240 --> 01:32:40,680
Speaker 11: The bottom line is they are doing everything they can

1672
01:32:40,880 --> 01:32:43,519
Speaker 11: just to quest you from the most meaningful and important

1673
01:32:43,560 --> 01:32:45,960
Speaker 11: thing in your life, and that is relationships.

1674
01:32:46,080 --> 01:32:46,719
Speaker 8: Get off your.

1675
01:32:47,040 --> 01:32:52,240
Speaker 2: Phone, right, I mean, if you really break that down,

1676
01:32:54,680 --> 01:32:57,719
Speaker 2: why would you go out and try and meet somebody

1677
01:32:57,800 --> 01:33:03,800
Speaker 2: and get rejected if you can have other sources of connection, right,

1678
01:33:03,960 --> 01:33:06,360
Speaker 2: That's what he's saying. But the real thing, and obviously

1679
01:33:06,439 --> 01:33:09,519
Speaker 2: I agree with him because I talk about relationship radio

1680
01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:10,000
Speaker 2: all the time.

1681
01:33:10,080 --> 01:33:11,800
Speaker 1: That's what I do on Saturday nights.

1682
01:33:11,840 --> 01:33:17,120
Speaker 2: The importance to have these deep, meaningful, loving connection relationships

1683
01:33:17,439 --> 01:33:20,439
Speaker 2: in your life. And if we don't have it, there's

1684
01:33:20,600 --> 01:33:23,920
Speaker 2: absolutely no way that we're going to continue to be

1685
01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:26,360
Speaker 2: happy in this life. I see, my buddy Sterling is

1686
01:33:26,439 --> 01:33:29,320
Speaker 2: calling me right now, let's get to the phones. And

1687
01:33:29,439 --> 01:33:30,880
Speaker 2: talk to Sterling Hi.

1688
01:33:32,120 --> 01:33:35,760
Speaker 6: Speaking of deep, meaningful conversations and relationships.

1689
01:33:35,920 --> 01:33:37,120
Speaker 1: It's a phone.

1690
01:33:37,439 --> 01:33:39,599
Speaker 6: I was thinking maybe I should hang up. You're like call.

1691
01:33:39,720 --> 01:33:42,960
Speaker 6: I'm like, but I'm not supposed to use the phone. Mee,

1692
01:33:43,640 --> 01:33:44,559
Speaker 6: I need my delpa.

1693
01:33:44,640 --> 01:33:44,840
Speaker 7: Mee.

1694
01:33:45,040 --> 01:33:45,920
Speaker 1: Well, listen.

1695
01:33:46,120 --> 01:33:49,559
Speaker 2: The bottom line is we are never giving up our iPhone.

1696
01:33:49,560 --> 01:33:52,400
Speaker 2: We're never giving up our phones. There are little computers

1697
01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:56,600
Speaker 2: in our lifelines, and they're very important for you know,

1698
01:33:57,320 --> 01:34:01,439
Speaker 2: growing success. I mean, we connection and I think there

1699
01:34:01,520 --> 01:34:04,760
Speaker 2: is a relevant point of social media. You get to

1700
01:34:04,800 --> 01:34:06,679
Speaker 2: see how your friends are doing, you get to see

1701
01:34:06,720 --> 01:34:09,280
Speaker 2: how your your family is living, and you connect on

1702
01:34:10,360 --> 01:34:12,320
Speaker 2: you know, parts of the world where you'd never know

1703
01:34:12,479 --> 01:34:14,640
Speaker 2: how these people are doing. So I do like it

1704
01:34:14,800 --> 01:34:18,920
Speaker 2: in that level, but there is a point where it's

1705
01:34:19,040 --> 01:34:20,800
Speaker 2: too much, Sterling, Do you agree with that.

1706
01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:25,800
Speaker 6: You got to block out time, you know, otherwise, Yeah,

1707
01:34:25,920 --> 01:34:28,400
Speaker 6: you're constantly reaching, you know, don't put it next to

1708
01:34:28,439 --> 01:34:30,519
Speaker 6: the bed. You see the blue light. Oh no, it's

1709
01:34:30,560 --> 01:34:32,560
Speaker 6: the blue light. I got to check. Any email is

1710
01:34:32,560 --> 01:34:34,439
Speaker 6: a work, that a text? What's going on? As the

1711
01:34:34,479 --> 01:34:40,280
Speaker 6: world ending? What is happening? All those things are important

1712
01:34:40,320 --> 01:34:43,519
Speaker 6: to find out, but it's not necessarily a twenty four

1713
01:34:43,560 --> 01:34:45,920
Speaker 6: to seven thing, the kid things a problem. We talked

1714
01:34:45,920 --> 01:34:47,880
Speaker 6: about that before I heard you talking about it. And

1715
01:34:48,800 --> 01:34:51,120
Speaker 6: if their whole world is a kid, I mean, you're

1716
01:34:51,160 --> 01:34:56,040
Speaker 6: already confused and hormonally challenged, and I have no idea

1717
01:34:56,120 --> 01:34:59,559
Speaker 6: that what even you don't know, you don't know yet

1718
01:35:00,240 --> 01:35:02,880
Speaker 6: and you're confused by everything. And going back to as

1719
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:05,479
Speaker 6: kids are the eighties, I mean you were on the

1720
01:35:05,560 --> 01:35:07,640
Speaker 6: phone and then you go to school. What's going on

1721
01:35:08,560 --> 01:35:10,280
Speaker 6: now it's all in the palm of your hand. Or

1722
01:35:10,320 --> 01:35:13,519
Speaker 6: if they're from around the world and everybody's trying to

1723
01:35:13,600 --> 01:35:16,840
Speaker 6: be like somebody else and people are lost. It's hard

1724
01:35:16,960 --> 01:35:20,000
Speaker 6: because there's also villains out there looking to cause problems.

1725
01:35:20,120 --> 01:35:22,400
Speaker 1: So I don't we've talked, we have talked about it before.

1726
01:35:22,479 --> 01:35:25,040
Speaker 2: And how hard is it to be a parent in

1727
01:35:25,160 --> 01:35:28,120
Speaker 2: this day and age to be able to you know,

1728
01:35:28,240 --> 01:35:31,880
Speaker 2: because because kids they want to be on social media

1729
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:34,400
Speaker 2: so they can connect to their friends twenty four to seven,

1730
01:35:35,000 --> 01:35:38,080
Speaker 2: they but then they'll notice that they weren't invited to

1731
01:35:38,160 --> 01:35:40,519
Speaker 2: the party, they weren't invited to the lunch or the

1732
01:35:40,640 --> 01:35:44,479
Speaker 2: mall or whatever, and then there's pain that comes and

1733
01:35:44,640 --> 01:35:46,880
Speaker 2: there's there's uh, all.

1734
01:35:46,880 --> 01:35:49,040
Speaker 6: Kinds why didn't they invite me?

1735
01:35:49,120 --> 01:35:50,760
Speaker 1: They exactly help me.

1736
01:35:50,880 --> 01:35:53,639
Speaker 6: It's all about me, and you don't even and maybe

1737
01:35:53,680 --> 01:35:55,240
Speaker 6: they don't even care one way or the other, and

1738
01:35:55,320 --> 01:35:58,360
Speaker 6: it was an overside and you're confused. But when you

1739
01:35:58,439 --> 01:36:00,599
Speaker 6: get a little older, what do you do? You're like, man,

1740
01:36:00,640 --> 01:36:02,000
Speaker 6: I really don't want to go to this thing. Maybe

1741
01:36:02,040 --> 01:36:04,200
Speaker 6: we'll just show up and have a drink and go. Right,

1742
01:36:04,400 --> 01:36:06,080
Speaker 6: you don't even want to go to this stuff. But

1743
01:36:06,120 --> 01:36:07,680
Speaker 6: as a kid, that's your whole world. You're right.

1744
01:36:07,960 --> 01:36:10,680
Speaker 2: But even still even as an adult, And I was

1745
01:36:10,800 --> 01:36:13,080
Speaker 2: talking to a couple of our listeners prior to this

1746
01:36:13,280 --> 01:36:18,360
Speaker 2: break when you're an adult and you still see, you

1747
01:36:18,560 --> 01:36:21,800
Speaker 2: still compare. We know, comparison is the thief of joy.

1748
01:36:22,160 --> 01:36:25,080
Speaker 2: So if you're out and you're seeing you know, people

1749
01:36:25,400 --> 01:36:28,400
Speaker 2: having a blast, and you know we're at work, I mean,

1750
01:36:28,840 --> 01:36:34,479
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes it's like that can be tricky, even

1751
01:36:35,240 --> 01:36:39,000
Speaker 2: those small moments. And we're adults. We've already been through

1752
01:36:39,040 --> 01:36:42,040
Speaker 2: the breakups, we've already been through bullying, we've already lived

1753
01:36:42,120 --> 01:36:45,479
Speaker 2: through high school and college and things like that. It's

1754
01:36:45,600 --> 01:36:50,880
Speaker 2: still hard imagine imagine being twelve, thirteen, fourteen years old.

1755
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:51,639
Speaker 1: I just can't.

1756
01:36:52,120 --> 01:36:55,600
Speaker 2: I was always saying so so much that I'm so

1757
01:36:55,720 --> 01:36:59,400
Speaker 2: grateful that social media has not been around when we

1758
01:36:59,479 --> 01:37:02,439
Speaker 2: were that, and I mean, because who the heck knows

1759
01:37:02,960 --> 01:37:04,439
Speaker 2: what would have happened back then.

1760
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:08,120
Speaker 6: But well, it's a babysitter, donna, that's the problem. I mean,

1761
01:37:08,280 --> 01:37:10,840
Speaker 6: I've seen it with friends and family. You got kids

1762
01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:13,360
Speaker 6: that are may even be still in the high chair,

1763
01:37:14,200 --> 01:37:17,560
Speaker 6: and here's the device so that, you know, then you

1764
01:37:17,640 --> 01:37:19,800
Speaker 6: can eat, you can finish you know, reading the news

1765
01:37:20,160 --> 01:37:22,920
Speaker 6: or listening, you know, to the radio, listening to you know,

1766
01:37:23,280 --> 01:37:26,160
Speaker 6: Tom in the morning, whatever and getting stuff ready. You know,

1767
01:37:26,240 --> 01:37:29,280
Speaker 6: here's the device for the kids. Here's your cheerios, have some,

1768
01:37:30,200 --> 01:37:33,759
Speaker 6: And that's that's here's what it is. This is the distraction.

1769
01:37:33,880 --> 01:37:36,320
Speaker 6: It's on the screen. You ever see somebody it's almost

1770
01:37:36,400 --> 01:37:39,559
Speaker 6: like a junkie or a metheatic, you know, tweaking. If

1771
01:37:39,600 --> 01:37:42,400
Speaker 6: you take away the kids phone, Yeah, see him at dinner.

1772
01:37:42,479 --> 01:37:44,439
Speaker 6: It's amazing, it's crazy.

1773
01:37:45,160 --> 01:37:47,559
Speaker 1: I saw this thing, speaking of social media.

1774
01:37:47,880 --> 01:37:50,200
Speaker 2: I saw this thing where this father tried to take

1775
01:37:50,280 --> 01:37:53,280
Speaker 2: this little boy's iPad. He couldn't have been more than

1776
01:37:53,479 --> 01:37:57,559
Speaker 2: I don't know, seven, and the kid would flip out, sterling,

1777
01:37:58,000 --> 01:38:00,400
Speaker 2: and so the father when he was the leap, he

1778
01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:02,480
Speaker 2: drew these dark circles.

1779
01:38:02,040 --> 01:38:02,840
Speaker 1: Around his eyes.

1780
01:38:03,439 --> 01:38:05,519
Speaker 2: And the little boy got up and he looked in

1781
01:38:05,600 --> 01:38:08,160
Speaker 2: the mirror and he goes, that's from looking at your screens,

1782
01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:10,479
Speaker 2: and it's going to get worse. You might go blind

1783
01:38:10,640 --> 01:38:15,000
Speaker 2: or something. And the little kid started getting so scared

1784
01:38:15,080 --> 01:38:17,720
Speaker 2: and he believed it and he and he didn't want

1785
01:38:17,760 --> 01:38:19,280
Speaker 2: to get on his sipad anymore.

1786
01:38:19,800 --> 01:38:22,280
Speaker 6: That's what And his friends in the neighborhood though, then

1787
01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:23,560
Speaker 6: they go, You're dad lied to you.

1788
01:38:23,760 --> 01:38:25,040
Speaker 1: You see, probably a.

1789
01:38:25,080 --> 01:38:30,160
Speaker 2: Few years later they probably well, yes, exactly, but you know,

1790
01:38:31,120 --> 01:38:33,600
Speaker 2: these are the tactics that parents are having to go

1791
01:38:33,800 --> 01:38:36,679
Speaker 2: through at the age of five, six, seven years old.

1792
01:38:37,120 --> 01:38:39,240
Speaker 6: So the parents fault? Is it right?

1793
01:38:39,960 --> 01:38:42,160
Speaker 2: That's what I was asking is the parents. Are the

1794
01:38:42,240 --> 01:38:45,160
Speaker 2: parents responsible for this? Should it be a law like

1795
01:38:45,280 --> 01:38:46,639
Speaker 2: Australia have been guns.

1796
01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:50,799
Speaker 6: There's been guns and knives and fireworks and car keys

1797
01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:53,599
Speaker 6: and all kinds of other stuff out there for as

1798
01:38:53,680 --> 01:38:56,519
Speaker 6: long as there's been people basically in modern times or

1799
01:38:56,600 --> 01:38:59,360
Speaker 6: some element of those things I just mentioned Donna, and

1800
01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:02,960
Speaker 6: we somehow navigated through it and parents were like give

1801
01:39:03,040 --> 01:39:04,920
Speaker 6: me the keys. They were like, let me take that

1802
01:39:05,080 --> 01:39:07,280
Speaker 6: phone and plug it from the bedroom where you don't

1803
01:39:07,400 --> 01:39:10,760
Speaker 6: have those privileges, or taking the TV away that if

1804
01:39:10,800 --> 01:39:15,200
Speaker 6: that happens, now it's somehow uncontrollable, whether you know, because

1805
01:39:15,200 --> 01:39:18,080
Speaker 6: it's you know, laptop or whatever for school. Then they

1806
01:39:18,120 --> 01:39:20,760
Speaker 6: have access to the Internet, and then there's a world

1807
01:39:20,840 --> 01:39:22,920
Speaker 6: of things out there in the Internet, of things that

1808
01:39:23,520 --> 01:39:26,360
Speaker 6: are pretty scary and troubling. I don't know how you

1809
01:39:26,479 --> 01:39:30,720
Speaker 6: deal with it. I would be very disturbed as a

1810
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:33,160
Speaker 6: parent of young kids right now and trying to navigate

1811
01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:37,200
Speaker 6: this and figure it out. But there's no question that

1812
01:39:37,920 --> 01:39:41,200
Speaker 6: these companies that allow I mean, they're trying to keep

1813
01:39:41,280 --> 01:39:44,519
Speaker 6: people scrolling longer. So you're going to do whatever it

1814
01:39:44,680 --> 01:39:46,519
Speaker 6: is to make it as easy as possible, to have

1815
01:39:46,600 --> 01:39:49,800
Speaker 6: as many people scrolling as long as possible so you

1816
01:39:49,880 --> 01:39:52,600
Speaker 6: can make more money. So whether it's a kid or

1817
01:39:52,800 --> 01:39:56,200
Speaker 6: an adult, it's you know, it's eyes and ears. Well,

1818
01:39:56,240 --> 01:39:58,320
Speaker 6: I don't know how how do you how do you

1819
01:39:58,560 --> 01:40:02,599
Speaker 6: limit free speech and controls of such a thing there?

1820
01:40:03,520 --> 01:40:05,280
Speaker 6: You got to control this other stuff as a parent,

1821
01:40:05,320 --> 01:40:06,160
Speaker 6: why not the device?

1822
01:40:06,439 --> 01:40:10,920
Speaker 2: Well, Australia is doing it. They're making kids at least older.

1823
01:40:11,720 --> 01:40:13,479
Speaker 2: They have to be sixteen in order to do it.

1824
01:40:13,600 --> 01:40:16,360
Speaker 2: But you know we I was finding out what makes

1825
01:40:16,439 --> 01:40:19,320
Speaker 2: us unhappy because unhappiness is growing as a society.

1826
01:40:19,800 --> 01:40:22,439
Speaker 6: Political hatred, Well, I thought you were just calling me out.

1827
01:40:22,479 --> 01:40:24,639
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, I think right now, I'm sorry.

1828
01:40:24,720 --> 01:40:29,000
Speaker 2: Go ahead, you're generally I know I can't hang out

1829
01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:33,880
Speaker 2: with somebody that that you know is doesn't make themselves happy.

1830
01:40:33,960 --> 01:40:36,280
Speaker 2: That that You've got to do whatever you can in

1831
01:40:36,400 --> 01:40:38,519
Speaker 2: this life because we're I said this all that, I

1832
01:40:38,600 --> 01:40:40,679
Speaker 2: say this all the time. None of us are getting

1833
01:40:40,720 --> 01:40:43,600
Speaker 2: out of here alive. So we have to understand the

1834
01:40:43,880 --> 01:40:45,120
Speaker 2: this is why we're talking about it.

1835
01:40:45,240 --> 01:40:48,439
Speaker 6: The places in the car, got it? You just say that,

1836
01:40:48,760 --> 01:40:51,800
Speaker 6: protect the children. We're all going to die. Make up

1837
01:40:51,880 --> 01:40:54,479
Speaker 6: your mind, woman, make up your mind.

1838
01:40:54,720 --> 01:40:57,680
Speaker 2: You got to make yourself happy in some ways. And

1839
01:40:57,840 --> 01:41:01,720
Speaker 2: the political hatred really is a big thing. How do

1840
01:41:01,800 --> 01:41:04,280
Speaker 2: we stop arguing and fighting amongst each other?

1841
01:41:04,640 --> 01:41:05,719
Speaker 1: Because if you think.

1842
01:41:06,720 --> 01:41:09,280
Speaker 6: We are all good together, no, everybody's getting along.

1843
01:41:09,320 --> 01:41:12,320
Speaker 1: Where have you been if you think about it?

1844
01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:17,160
Speaker 6: Ask Russ Jackson, he knows, Ask Brady. And it's a

1845
01:41:17,280 --> 01:41:20,799
Speaker 6: beautiful time there are so I mean, it's about as peaceful.

1846
01:41:20,840 --> 01:41:21,960
Speaker 6: These are the best of times.

1847
01:41:22,320 --> 01:41:25,560
Speaker 2: No, it's it's it's divided and it's and it's and

1848
01:41:25,680 --> 01:41:28,840

01:42:29,080 --> 01:42:33,000
Speaker 2: and billions of dollars and then get involved in corrupt

1868
01:42:33,040 --> 01:42:35,280
Speaker 2: our political system to get more tax breaks.

1869
01:42:35,680 --> 01:42:38,280
Speaker 1: How do we limit their power? Do we just stop

Speaker 6: as a little taxes as possible. I mean legally right.

1873
01:42:47,920 --> 01:42:49,919

01:42:50,080 --> 01:42:52,559
Speaker 6: you travel a lot here for work, you got multiple jobs.

1875
01:42:52,600 --> 01:42:55,080
Speaker 6: You give them all your receipt or paperwork, and your

1876
01:42:55,160 --> 01:42:57,640
Speaker 6: CPA makes it so you pay as little as you

1877
01:42:57,800 --> 01:43:01,599
Speaker 6: have to legally correct. And if you had the power

1878
01:43:01,640 --> 01:43:03,920

Speaker 6: it next to whenever and say, hey, you need to

1883
01:43:15,120 --> 01:43:17,160
Speaker 6: help me. We're trying that we're doing this business. Things

1884
01:43:17,200 --> 01:43:20,320
Speaker 6: are transactional. They always have been. It's just out there

1885
01:43:20,360 --> 01:43:23,200
Speaker 6: in the open now and much clear. Well that's where

1886
01:43:23,280 --> 01:43:24,760
Speaker 6: we're a wealth of disparity.

1887
01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:26,920
Speaker 1: Okay, Well that's where we differ.

1888
01:43:27,040 --> 01:43:29,559
Speaker 2: Because if I have billions of dollars and I've made

1889
01:43:29,600 --> 01:43:31,599
Speaker 2: it in this country off the backs of these people,

1890
01:43:32,080 --> 01:43:35,759
Speaker 2: and and there are people right now that are choosing

1891
01:43:35,920 --> 01:43:39,240
Speaker 2: to this is a real thing, pay rent or get

1892
01:43:39,280 --> 01:43:43,960
Speaker 2: there inhalers because they have terrible asthma. This is There's

1893
01:43:44,200 --> 01:43:48,040
Speaker 2: no way I would try and cheat out on paying taxes.

1894
01:43:48,120 --> 01:43:52,160
Speaker 2: I would pay taxes, don't. Well, I mean they're they're

1895
01:43:52,240 --> 01:43:55,800
Speaker 2: trying to maneuver laws. I mean, we've been trying to

1896
01:43:55,840 --> 01:43:58,680
Speaker 2: get billionaires to pay taxes in this country for a

1897
01:43:58,800 --> 01:43:59,759
Speaker 2: long long time.

1898
01:44:00,120 --> 01:44:02,600
Speaker 6: Because of those from get the kid's phone out of

1899
01:44:02,680 --> 01:44:05,559
Speaker 6: his hand and now I'm packing the rich?

1900
01:44:05,720 --> 01:44:06,640
Speaker 3: What is wrong with you?

1901
01:44:06,920 --> 01:44:11,479
Speaker 2: Well, I feel like there's a reason why financially people

1902
01:44:11,560 --> 01:44:14,200
Speaker 2: are really stressed and and to.

1903
01:44:14,320 --> 01:44:17,720
Speaker 6: Have this this wealthy is their drugs. The way we

1904
01:44:18,200 --> 01:44:21,200
Speaker 6: and drink is that everybody else except now they're drunk

1905
01:44:21,280 --> 01:44:23,639
Speaker 6: and they're high with the phone in their hands, looking

1906
01:44:23,720 --> 01:44:26,960
Speaker 6: to get loving or find another life that's better than

1907
01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:28,840
Speaker 6: theirs as they sit there sad and their kids in

1908
01:44:28,880 --> 01:44:31,320
Speaker 6: their bedroom doing the same thing, hopefully without the drugs.

1909
01:44:31,880 --> 01:44:32,920
Speaker 6: That's America today.

1910
01:44:33,680 --> 01:44:34,120
Speaker 1: Oh boy?

1911
01:44:35,240 --> 01:44:35,720
Speaker 6: Is that bad?

1912
01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:36,080
Speaker 5: Is that?

1913
01:44:36,400 --> 01:44:36,600
Speaker 8: I mean?

1914
01:44:36,920 --> 01:44:39,559
Speaker 6: I mean that's what I's is that where.

1915
01:44:39,400 --> 01:44:43,320
Speaker 1: We are well, I feel like because we are in decline.

1916
01:44:43,439 --> 01:44:46,320
Speaker 2: It started big time in twenty twenty with COVID and

1917
01:44:46,400 --> 01:44:49,559
Speaker 2: the loneliness and stuff, and now it has gotten it's

1918
01:44:49,720 --> 01:44:52,400
Speaker 2: it's just gotten so bad that a lot of people

1919
01:44:52,720 --> 01:44:59,200
Speaker 2: are are are are angry. The wealth disparentes. You know,

1920
01:44:59,439 --> 01:45:03,040
Speaker 2: I work for hvac and home improvement in my day job.

1921
01:45:03,160 --> 01:45:05,760
Speaker 6: Right we just saw number old business was that sure?

1922
01:45:05,920 --> 01:45:08,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we just saw numbers that that.

1923
01:45:08,680 --> 01:45:12,680
Speaker 2: There's two types of buyers right now for HVAC contractors,

1924
01:45:12,720 --> 01:45:16,040
Speaker 2: there's two. One is five point fifty fight go and

1925
01:45:16,200 --> 01:45:20,880
Speaker 2: below the really credit challenge customers and the eight hundred

1926
01:45:21,240 --> 01:45:24,760
Speaker 2: fight go scores. So they're great, great, you know, people

1927
01:45:24,840 --> 01:45:27,160
Speaker 2: that have money and great credit and the ones that

1928
01:45:27,280 --> 01:45:27,840
Speaker 2: have nothing.

1929
01:45:28,280 --> 01:45:32,280
Speaker 1: The middle class is disappearing, and I.

1930
01:45:32,800 --> 01:45:34,840
Speaker 6: Tough right now because if you earn that in between,

1931
01:45:34,920 --> 01:45:36,800
Speaker 6: you're going to try to make that cargo another year

1932
01:45:36,880 --> 01:45:39,080
Speaker 6: if you can, depending unless you find the right deal

1933
01:45:39,120 --> 01:45:41,560
Speaker 6: in the right interest rate. And people get loans for

1934
01:45:41,720 --> 01:45:44,639
Speaker 6: six eight, like seven years for a car.

1935
01:45:45,640 --> 01:45:48,760
Speaker 2: People can't afford house. You can't afford a house right now.

1936
01:45:48,960 --> 01:45:52,040
Speaker 2: I mean there are back back in the day, Sterling,

1937
01:45:52,200 --> 01:45:55,320
Speaker 2: when you made six figures, that was a big deal.

1938
01:45:55,760 --> 01:45:57,920
Speaker 2: You were able to get a house, you were able

1939
01:45:58,000 --> 01:46:00,439
Speaker 2: to you know, you know, it was a pretty good living.

1940
01:46:00,520 --> 01:46:03,439
Speaker 2: Now six figures is like making sixty thousand right now.

1941
01:46:03,600 --> 01:46:06,280
Speaker 6: I was steeling really good and then now you've laid

1942
01:46:06,320 --> 01:46:08,360
Speaker 6: this all out here and I'm not feeling really good.

1943
01:46:08,360 --> 01:46:13,400
Speaker 6: About things right now, you're just talking about current events

1944
01:46:13,439 --> 01:46:16,320
Speaker 6: in the world. I did it, and I understand and

1945
01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:18,680
Speaker 6: then and then here what I add a little something

1946
01:46:18,720 --> 01:46:21,519
Speaker 6: else to it aside from like the generator to AI

1947
01:46:21,680 --> 01:46:23,240
Speaker 6: that we can all have fun with, Like here's a

1948
01:46:23,280 --> 01:46:25,920
Speaker 6: picture of Stirling and Donna hanging out with like I

1949
01:46:25,960 --> 01:46:28,439
Speaker 6: don't know, Eddie and Rockey in Reds game in July,

1950
01:46:29,320 --> 01:46:32,280
Speaker 6: you know, and have us like animated in the stand someplace.

1951
01:46:32,720 --> 01:46:36,360
Speaker 6: That's easy done, right, that's fun AI. Right, wait three

1952
01:46:36,479 --> 01:46:39,400
Speaker 6: years with AI and all the stuff that you've talked about,

1953
01:46:39,439 --> 01:46:43,080
Speaker 6: and the disillusionment and and everything else that's been somewhat

1954
01:46:43,080 --> 01:46:45,000
Speaker 6: of a change in the last twenty to thirty years

1955
01:46:45,040 --> 01:46:47,000
Speaker 6: and the people caught in the middle, and see what

1956
01:46:47,160 --> 01:46:50,960
Speaker 6: that is when people need more of a purpose. Now

1957
01:46:51,360 --> 01:46:54,479
Speaker 6: Musk says, what that will work if we want to,

1958
01:46:55,320 --> 01:46:58,200
Speaker 6: we can pursue our dreams and our goals. My question

1959
01:46:58,439 --> 01:47:02,680
Speaker 6: is where does the basic issue of roof shoes and

1960
01:47:02,800 --> 01:47:06,240
Speaker 6: food on a plate come in? And maybe throw in

1961
01:47:06,360 --> 01:47:09,680
Speaker 6: transportation for all those people that you just described you

1962
01:47:09,720 --> 01:47:13,320
Speaker 6: can't afford anything. Yeah, yeah, they're gonna and those jobs

1963
01:47:13,360 --> 01:47:17,720
Speaker 6: are going to be fewer and far between. So now

1964
01:47:18,280 --> 01:47:20,439
Speaker 6: you've taken me a complete potion and I was.

1965
01:47:20,520 --> 01:47:24,800
Speaker 1: Literally you were in a good move before you called me, and.

1966
01:47:24,880 --> 01:47:25,360
Speaker 6: I love you.

1967
01:47:25,560 --> 01:47:26,479
Speaker 5: I don't know what happened.

1968
01:47:26,640 --> 01:47:27,320
Speaker 7: Are you okay?

1969
01:47:28,200 --> 01:47:30,880
Speaker 6: You doctor West to get You're still laughing, But I

1970
01:47:30,960 --> 01:47:34,360
Speaker 6: don't know. I don't know how I feel about all right.

1971
01:47:34,320 --> 01:47:37,160
Speaker 2: Let's talk about something very fun tomorrow. There's a pretty

1972

1973
01:47:41,479 --> 01:47:44,519
Speaker 2: say they're going for the gold. It's a big deal

1974
01:47:44,640 --> 01:47:48,360
Speaker 2: and not one of the most anticipated matchups of the

1975
01:47:48,400 --> 01:47:52,160
Speaker 2: game's in the classic rivalry obviously.

1976
01:47:52,040 --> 01:47:54,920
