Will the first 4 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 2: mayoral debate change anything in the polls? We'll ask political 5 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:21,439 Speaker 2: analyst J. C. Polonko. Republican candidate for governor Jack Chittarelli 6 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 2: is here to talk about his lawsuit against his opponent, 7 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 2: Democrat Mikey Cheryl. Futurist reporter Kevin Sirelli talks about a 8 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 2: new miracle medical procedure being worked on by Elon Musk 9 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 2: that will help the blind to see, and HR specialist 10 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 2: Greg gan Grandi tells you what to do in the 11 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 2: workplace if your boss is playing favorites and you're not 12 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 2: one of them. But let's start with political analyst JC 13 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 2: Polonko and his thoughts on the first mayoral debate. Wow, 14 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 2: that was some fireworks, jac Oh. 15 00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I told you it was going to be the 16 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 3: thriller in and I think that's what your listeners got. 17 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 2: They tuned in, yeah, especially, and now they seem to 18 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 2: Unfortunately the moderators did too, but they seem to ignore 19 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 2: Curtis Leewa, who was right there in the middle, and 20 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 2: for that fact, because they left him alone because he 21 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 2: didn't get muddied up and he made some great points. 22 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 2: If you had to pick a winner of that debate, 23 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 2: I think it's Curtis Leewa. 24 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 3: Interesting, you know, I'm getting it seems to be that 25 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 3: people are announcing their winner based on who they like 26 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 3: the most on the issues. I'm listening to folks that 27 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 3: said Mamdani one, tons of people that say Cuomo pulled 28 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 3: this off. And now you know, I'm looking online and 29 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 3: there are a lot of people that said that Curtis 30 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 3: Leewa was quintessential New Yorker. He was authentic, and he 31 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 3: came across as competent but bombastic. So, you know, I'm 32 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 3: getting I'm still studying what people are saying. I'm getting 33 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 3: a lot of feedback, and it appears that a lot 34 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 3: of your listeners may have agreed with many of the 35 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 3: points that are Curtic Sie women, and a lot of 36 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 3: your listeners are probably thinking, what would happen if this 37 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 3: was a one and one between Curtis Lee what and 38 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 3: Mamdani in a different universe? But that wasn't the case 39 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 3: last night. Last night was a case where he had 40 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 3: three candidates that were all interviewing for that same job. 41 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 3: Mam Donnie. Look, I know your listeners don't want to 42 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 3: hear this, but he has incredible stage presence. I told 43 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 3: you yesterday. I told you yesterday that he was critical 44 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 3: for Governor Como to look at that camera and to 45 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 3: speak directly to New Yorkers. And something that Curtically and 46 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 3: Mamdani did was that they were able to look at 47 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 3: the camera, no matter what the question was, look at 48 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 3: the camera and answer directly to New Yorkers. And I 49 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 3: think that often Governor Clmo found himself speaking to reporters 50 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 3: as if it were a press conference. On presence. On 51 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 3: stage presence, Mamdanni wins. Mamdanni wins because he was able 52 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 3: to deflect on absolutely everything. I've never seen anything like it. 53 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 3: It's very difficult for Curtis Lea and Andrew Como to 54 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 3: debate someone who has changed every single position on prostitution. 55 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 3: I never said that on Israel, I never said that 56 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 3: on Gifted and Talented programs. I never said that. On 57 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 3: every single aspect of misdemeanors, getting rid of them and 58 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 3: closing prisons. Never said it. So it's very interesting to 59 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 3: see how much a sumly minimum. Donni has become a moderate, 60 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 3: become a centrist, and has disavowed things that are online 61 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 3: that he has said repeatedly during the campaign and really 62 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 3: propelled his projectory into where he is today. Now he 63 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 3: disavows ever saying any of these things. And it's very 64 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 3: interesting to see now how he appreciates the police, how 65 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 3: he had to speak to Jews to understand the problems 66 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 3: that Israel has faced, and now still won't condemn globalizing 67 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 3: into fat and tell Hamas to put their weapons down, 68 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 3: but speaks in such a way, in such parables and 69 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 3: such lofty language that makes you forget that these things 70 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 3: are available for us to actually reference. 71 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, and that's where I thought he got bloodied 72 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 2: up just a little bit. And that was on the 73 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 2: point you just brought up that he he didn't disavow 74 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 2: saying that there Israel shouldn't be a Jewish state, and 75 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 2: he didn't disavow saying that he once was supporting globalized 76 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 2: in Fatata, And so I don't I thought he lost 77 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 2: some points on that. And we'll see if it affects 78 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 2: any of the Jewish voters, because the poll show he's 79 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 2: getting half of the Jewish vote in New York, which 80 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 2: is incredible to me. 81 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 3: He's getting a lot of Jewish supporter And again we 82 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 3: talk about it. The Jewish vote is not a monolith. 83 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 3: You have generational divides. You have practicing Jews versus non 84 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 3: practicing Jews. You have folks that have no very little 85 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 3: connection of any to the plight of Israel and what 86 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 3: Jews have experienced, and they have no problem with hearing 87 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 3: some of the things from Mamdani supporters regarding Israel, cloaked 88 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 3: under the auspices of being anti Zionism. But quite frankly, 89 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 3: when you sit down and think about it, when you 90 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 3: say that you're okay with you getting rid of Israel 91 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 3: and Jews, this is a problem. And no matter how 92 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,479 Speaker 3: much you look at the car and how passionate you 93 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 3: are with your cadence and how you want to let 94 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 3: us know that you care about it, each and every 95 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 3: New Yorker should live and in affordable city. I'm god, really, 96 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 3: he's give me a break. I mean, I can't believe 97 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 3: that people are home this. I'm sitting there and I'm 98 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 3: looking at I'm looking at the question on experience, and 99 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 3: I think Governor Colmo knocked it out of the park 100 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 3: by far the most experienced candidate, and it was we've 101 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 3: heard that line before. He practiced it. It was great, 102 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 3: Like a great actor he is. He came back and said, 103 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 3: why lie, what I like an experience, you like an integrity, 104 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 3: and you can never make Oh my goodness, gracious, it 105 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 3: was perfect and in not the Governor comov a little bit. 106 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 3: We has to remember the next time around that line 107 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 3: is gonna come like it comes every single time. I 108 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 3: would go in there like the attorney that he was. 109 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 3: You're gonna hear assaults on my integrity. You're gonna hear assaults. 110 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 3: And none of this hides the fact that the assemblement 111 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 3: has a staff of four doesn't have the experience to 112 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 3: be the executive of the most important city on Earth. 113 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 3: And I'll tell you this what I didn't expect, and 114 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 3: I told you I was concerned about this happening. Was 115 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 3: Curtis Lee attacking Governor Clomo the way he did yesterday. 116 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 3: If you consider that the Socialists are the enemy, having 117 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 3: Curtis Lee Wall go in for the juggular on Como 118 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 3: all night yesterday made Clomo be on the defensive, not 119 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 3: only by some of the questions that were coming in 120 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 3: from the moderators who did a good job. But quite frankly, 121 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 3: when you're alleging investigations that the governor says do not exist, 122 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 3: but you bring him up again and again and again, 123 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,559 Speaker 3: the governor's offending himself against the moderators. He's offending himself 124 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 3: against Mombani all night, and then he's offending himself against Stea. 125 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 3: So when you're explaining, you're losing. And it was very 126 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 3: tough for Governor Como to get in the points that 127 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 3: he wanted to make when he's getting assaulted by everyone 128 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 3: up on that stage. 129 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 2: By the way, I took note of your first answer 130 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 2: when I said, I thought just because he didn't take 131 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,799 Speaker 2: any incoming. Curtis Leewa won the debate, and your answer 132 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 2: was interesting. And anytime somebody says interesting, it's usually I 133 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 2: don't agree with you at all. I don't even know 134 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 2: where you. 135 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 3: Got that, Nourtis, Curtis Quinton says New York. I mean, 136 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 3: what are we going to say? What is there to say? 137 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 3: The guy knows New York. The guy knows every detail 138 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 3: of New York. What I'm concerned about it a lot 139 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 3: of your listeners are concerned about. 140 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 2: Is these poll numbers yeah, absolutely, numbers. 141 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 3: Still have him. That concerns me. So I'm sitting there 142 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 3: thinking Curtis is an amazing guy, would be a thousand 143 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 3: times better than any socialists, But the poll numbers show 144 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 3: that he's exactly the number that's keeping us from beating socialism. 145 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 3: In November, the. 146 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 2: Moderators didn't do him any favors either, of which I 147 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 2: thought was kind of embarrassing on their party. They were 148 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 2: ignoring him to the point where I had to keep saying, hey, 149 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 2: guess what I'm here too. Thanks so much, It was 150 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 2: great to talk to you as always. 151 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 4: J C. 152 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 2: Polanco, political analyst and University of Mount Saint Vincent assistant 153 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 2: professor and attorney.

I mean, it is a beautiful campus this 174 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 5: time of year. 175 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 2: But did you say goodbye to James Franklin the football coach? 176 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 2: Did you see him? 177 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 5: Well, it's all actually, you know, you can break some news. 178 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 5: As I be sarcastic now, I said, listen, if you 179 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 5: guys want to fire me and get me me, have 180 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 5: fifty million dollars, but gladly, gladly take it. You know, 181 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 5: like what the heck is going on up there? But uh, 182 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 5: but I love that place. It's it's happy Valley for 183 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 5: a reason, man, But I got my girl stickies. Enough 184 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 5: of that promoting the show Hello Future. So I remember 185 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 5: when I was a kid, and I remember you would 186 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 5: walk down the street and you'd say that person had 187 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 5: a nose job or other work done, or that person 188 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 5: Oh okay again, well okay, well you know, okay, I 189 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 5: mean whatever. So, and I'm gonna be not crass on 190 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 5: your program because it's still early, right, so we maybe 191 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 5: that person has mark time. I look forward to the 192 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 5: day where we're saying, has that person had a brain job? 193 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 5: Has that person had a brain implant? Because these micro 194 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 5: chips and elon musk and neurallink and everything that's happening, 195 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 5: I mean, the future is here. Uh there's you know, 196 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 5: we can talk about them. We'll go into it on 197 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 5: the show about you know, the long term implications of 198 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 5: having bad actors like China and Russia controlling the chips 199 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,480 Speaker 5: that are going to be implanted into our brains. But 200 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 5: in the short term, I mean talk about a medical 201 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 5: miracle to be able to see someone who's lost a 202 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 5: limb be able to have a brain ship and they're 203 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 5: able to use their prosthetic arm immediately, or they're able 204 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 5: to regain speech and be able to communicate via computer. 205 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 5: I think that's an awesome, awesome thing for these people. 206 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 2: Absolutely. We talked about this at length back when they 207 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 2: were Elon Musk was getting just railed when they were 208 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 2: going after him, when they were they were wanting they 209 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,199 Speaker 2: wanted him to be hung by his feet in the hall. 210 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 2: And what I said was, this is a guy that's 211 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 2: going to help the paralyzed walk again, He's going to 212 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 2: help the blind. See, he's not a villain. This man's 213 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 2: not a villain because he's trying to cut the government. 214 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 2: He's a miracle worker. And this is the primary example 215 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 2: of that. Please talk a little bit more about it, 216 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 2: because I think this is extremely important topic because this 217 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 2: is the future and it's not that far away, so. 218 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,439 Speaker 5: It's already here. And so I think, you know, my 219 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 5: dad just haid heart surgery. He had stints place in 220 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 5: his hearts. And we live in a time now, Larry, 221 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 5: where that's not uncommon, you know what I mean. I mean, 222 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 5: no one blinks when you say I've got to have 223 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 5: my kniehborplace or my hip orplace. And so why don't 224 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 5: we have that same preventative care on our brains, and 225 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 5: so especially when it comes to Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's, 226 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 5: we're on the cusp of these brain technologies being preventative 227 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 5: and to be able to get preventative health care for 228 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 5: our brain, which is the engine for our entire lives. 229 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,559 Speaker 5: We already have these conversations, by the way, I mean 230 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 5: it dates back to when your mom and dad would 231 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,319 Speaker 5: say eat your vegetables it's good for your brain, or 232 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,439 Speaker 5: an apple a day keeps the doctor away, or even 233 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 5: a couple of years ago with those zenpech when that 234 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 5: conversation really took off. So this idea that somehow brain 235 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 5: ships are not going to be able to help us, 236 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 5: especially as a nanotechnology, and what do they ultimately do? 237 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 5: All they do if your brain is a bunch of 238 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 5: wires and you think of an electrician in your mind 239 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 5: going into the ceiling or the wall, and you see 240 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 5: all of the different colored wires and maybe one of 241 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 5: them short circuited. The brain ship essentially is just a fix. 242 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 5: It's an ability to get the wires and to jumpstart 243 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 5: the wires again, to connect to them, and to be 244 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 5: able to help get your brain back to functioning. And 245 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 5: so I think that's the very simple version of this. 246 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 5: But from a longer term perspective, you know, in the 247 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 5: next fifty seventy five, one hundred, two hundred years, Yeah, 248 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 5: there's national security systemic questions that should be asked. I 249 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 5: believe in innovation and an America democracy, and you know, 250 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 5: I want to make sure that American companies and innovators 251 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 5: are at the forefront of this and not bad actors 252 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 5: who are controlling the brain ships. 253 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,719 Speaker 2: But Elon Musk Company is far out in front of this, aren't. 254 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 5: They, Yes, for sure. But there's also other industries supporting it. 255 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 5: And that's what I think. From an economics and I'll 256 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 5: put on my old Bloomberg hap for a second. From 257 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 5: an economics standpoint, the data that is required to do this, 258 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 5: the manufacturing to build these chips, in addition to the 259 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 5: cyber secure networks and systems that this neuralink would have 260 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 5: to operate on. It's an entire new industry. And that 261 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 5: I really hope is what Hello future ultimately gets into 262 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 5: and that inspires people to think beyond. Is that this 263 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 5: shift and the systems that we're all building for our 264 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,839 Speaker 5: future is you know, it starts with, as you said, 265 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 5: a blind person being able to see or someone who's 266 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 5: who can't who can't walk being able to walk again. 267 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 2: Kevin, I'm so glad we talked about this story today. 268 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 2: I was amazed at it when I first heard about it, 269 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 2: and people can learn more about it, I'm sure on 270 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 2: your podcast, Kevin's really. Kevin's really host of the podcast 271 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 2: Hello Future on the iHeart Radio app and he talks 272 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 2: about things like this all of the time, things that 273 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 2: aren't on the radar but should be. Kevin, it was 274 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 2: good to talk to you. Have a good weekend. 275 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 3: Thank you, Larry. 276 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 5: I appreciate you as always. 277 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 2: Jack Chittarelli, Republican candidate for governor of New Jersey, is 278 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 2: suing his opponent for something she accused him of during 279 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 2: a televised debate. Jack's going to be with us when 280 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 2: you're a coworker, treats you like you're their therapist, telling 281 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 2: you way too much about their problems in the workplace. 282 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 2: HR specialist Greg gm Grande will tell you what to 283 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 2: do now. 284 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: More of the WOOR Saturday Morning Show and Larry Mente 285 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: Welcome back. 286 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 2: At the New Jersey gubernatorial debate, Democratic candidate Mikey Cheryl 287 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 2: accused Republican candidate Jack Chittarelli several times of killing tens 288 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 2: of thousands of people because his company built a website 289 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 2: for an opioid company. I have never ever heard something 290 00:14:59,600 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 2: like this. 291 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 6: I think the people you got addicted and died deserve 292 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 6: better than you. And I'll tell you, yeah, tens of 293 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 6: thousands here as you published misinformation. You then went on 294 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 6: to kill tens of thousands of people in New Jersey, 295 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 6: including child book and I think you're trying to divert 296 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 6: from the fact that you killed tens of thousands of people. 297 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 2: My first thought was she's desperate, and then that she 298 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 2: was told that she really has to go after him. 299 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 2: After that, I thought, can you be sued for that? 300 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 2: Because she accused him of Jack Chittarelli of killing tens 301 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 2: of thousands of people for building a website that would 302 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 2: never go over in court. And you know what, Jack 303 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 2: Chittarelli is suing her. Jack Chittarelli, Republican candidate for New 304 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 2: Jersey governor, is with us. 305 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 4: Now. 306 00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 2: I was as you just heard me talk about Jack, 307 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 2: I was stunned. I have never heard something like that 308 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 2: before during a political debate. I'm sure you were stunned. 309 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 4: Too, Larry, You're not alone. 310 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 7: I was stunned. It was an unbelievable, surreal moment. It 311 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 7: was baseless, it was reckless. It's afamatory, and I'll be 312 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 7: filing suit. We're not David lying all throughout this campaign. 313 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 7: The whole campaign has been based on a stack of lies, 314 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 7: her disdained for the president that she flies at helicopter, 315 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 7: none of which is going to fix New Jersey. 316 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 4: But she's not getting away with this one. 317 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 7: We're getting advisory opinion from ELEK, which governs campaign finance 318 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 7: in New Jersey, and as soon as we have their decision, 319 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 7: we'll be filing our suit. 320 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 2: I'm getting tired of these polls, Jack, They're all over 321 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 2: the place. They can't make up their mind if you're tied, 322 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 2: or you're behind, or you're ahead. I what is You've 323 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 2: been through this before you went through this four years ago, Larry. 324 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 7: The ones that have me behind are most times the 325 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 7: university polls, which don't invest in necessary money. 326 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 4: It's more of a survey than a pole. 327 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 7: But those have me down by maybe six points or 328 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 7: seven points. The same ones that had Kamala Harris win 329 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 7: in the state last year by twenty and had me 330 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 7: down last time by twelve with a couple of weeks ago. 331 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 7: All the other polls that are more credible have this 332 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 7: as a dead heat or me with a one or 333 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 7: two point lead. 334 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 4: We're not taking anything for granted. 335 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 7: I'll finish strong with he's last eighteen and we're going 336 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 7: to deliver a win if the debates proved anything. No 337 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 7: candidate has never been more ill prepared, unqualified, or more desperate, 338 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 7: no I have. 339 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 2: I've been really frankly surprised at Mikey Cheryl because I 340 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 2: you know, I did the TV show in New Jersey 341 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 2: for a long time. I talked to you several times, 342 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 2: but I talked to Mikey Cheryl and I always kind 343 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 2: of liked her. This is a different person. I don't 344 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 2: know what she's trying to do, but she's just downright 345 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 2: unlikable because she's doing something that she's being told to do, 346 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 2: and that's going the attack against you, and I don't 347 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 2: believe that's naturally her. She's being something that she's not 348 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 2: and you always lose when you try to do that. 349 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 2: I'm sure you've been surprised at her tactics. 350 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 7: I really have the extent of the lies, the consistency 351 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 7: of the lies, the recklessness. And then how about this, now, 352 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 7: I can't remember if it was The New York Post, 353 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 7: New York Times, be forty yesterday that the very companies 354 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 7: that she's accusing me being in bed with she was 355 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 7: taking money from. She took campaign contributions from the very 356 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 7: company she's accusing me of colluding with. So again, this 357 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 7: is recklessness, it's irresponsible, it's defamatory, and we'll be filing suit. 358 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 2: Let's get to your lawsuit because I'm sure that you're 359 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 2: drawing it up right now. What are you going to 360 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,360 Speaker 2: say in that lawsuit? And what are you looking for. 361 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 7: That She tried to tarnish my reputation, my family name, 362 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 7: and she was reckless in the statements that she made. 363 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 7: She specifically said three times that I killed ten thousand people, 364 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 7: including children. Larry, I mean, you've been at this business 365 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 7: a long time. Have you ever heard anything on that? 366 00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 7: But we're not going to tolerate it. We're going to 367 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 7: file our suit. 368 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 2: No, if I was on the news and I said 369 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 2: something like that, I'd be fired. 370 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 4: I'd be you. 371 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 2: It is so out of bounds to say something like that. 372 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 2: And I notice now when she talks about it, she's 373 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 2: backed off of that. I ys, have you noticed that? 374 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 4: Yep, hey, I have. But you know what I think 375 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 4: really happened, Larry, she cracked. 376 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 7: I mean the pressure of the world now knowing that 377 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 7: she was punished at the Naval Academy. She's built her 378 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,800 Speaker 7: entire political brand around her attendance at the Naval Academy. 379 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,359 Speaker 7: We know now that she was punished. She wasn't allowed 380 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 7: to walk in the graduation name was not listed a 381 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 7: commencement exercise program. Has changed her tune three reasons three 382 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 7: times as to why. The fact that she broke federal 383 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 7: law on stock trades and stock reporting as a congresswoman, 384 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 7: the fact that she was trading defense stocks while sitting 385 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 7: on the House Armed Services Committee, and the fact that 386 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 7: she tripled her net worth And can't explain how who 387 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 7: wouldn't know if they made seven million dollars in six 388 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 7: years time? 389 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 2: You know, during a midterm election, one of the things 390 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 2: that really wins or loses is enthusiasm or lack of 391 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 2: enthusiasm when you are out on the campaign trail. Have 392 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 2: people reacted to this? Are they as incensed as you are? 393 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 4: They're incensed about this. 394 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 7: They look at the Marsha Kramer interview on CBS where 395 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 7: she couldn't answer the question what do you do on 396 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 7: day one? They look at the Charlemagne interview where she 397 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 7: couldn't answer how they tripled her net worth, and they 398 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 7: just feel that this is somebody it's ill prepared and 399 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 7: unqualified for the job. But I will tell you on 400 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,560 Speaker 7: my side, Larry, the energy has been off the charts, 401 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,400 Speaker 7: and I'm sure you've noticed. I'm even getting the endorsements 402 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 7: of prominent Democrats around the state. 403 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:21,959 Speaker 4: Not a single Republican has endorsed my opponent. 404 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 2: No, We've talked about you a lot, and we've talked 405 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 2: about that, and I want to know because you's happened 406 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 2: to say many many times. We've played sound of you 407 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 2: over and over again. I'm gonna do this on day one. 408 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 2: I'm gonna do this on day one. I'm gonna do 409 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 2: this on day one. How many things are you gonna 410 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 2: do on day one and how are you prioritizing them? 411 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 4: Well, Larry, I'm gonna do everything I possibly can on 412 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 4: day one. Here. 413 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 7: The bad news is Phil Murphy's put a lot of 414 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 7: bad policy in place. The good news is many of 415 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 7: those policies were never codified by the legislature. Oh, they 416 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 7: can be reversed by executive order that includes the Immigrant 417 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 7: Trust Directive. So on day one, Executive Order number one, 418 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 7: no town in our state will be the sanctuary said, 419 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 7: and we will not be a sanctuary state that encourages 420 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 7: illegal immigration and handcuffs our local police in different ways. 421 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 7: Let them do their job. Also, on day one, I'm 422 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,919 Speaker 7: bringing everybody back to work. Try getting to somebody on 423 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 7: the phone. Try getting your issue resolved. I think it's 424 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 7: embarrassing for New Jersey that you can walk into a 425 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 7: DMV office in Florida today and walk out an hour 426 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 7: later with your real ID. Try getting your real ID 427 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 7: in New Jersey. They're giving you an appointment in January. 428 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:26,239 Speaker 7: Are you kidding me? 429 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 2: Well, i'll tell you what. You just got Natalie's vote. 430 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 2: When you were talking about the last issue, she started cheering. 431 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 4: I mean, it's a joke. Last night I was trying 432 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 4: to get an appointment. Oh my goodness, January. I find 433 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 4: it embarrassing. 434 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,479 Speaker 7: This is what makes people lose faith in government, hate government, 435 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 7: and hate their taxes. When you pay a premium for 436 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 7: something and the quality sucks, you hate it. And that's 437 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 7: the case in New Jersey. But executive voter number three, Larry, 438 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 7: we're pulling out a Regie. That carbon tax policy has 439 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 7: been a disaster for New Jersey. I could save three hundred, 440 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 7: five hundred million dollars a year for rape payers by 441 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 7: pulling out a Reggie. The Democratic governor of Pennsylvania is 442 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,640 Speaker 7: not in Reggie the regional greenhouse gas initiative. 443 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 4: We shouldn't be either. 444 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 2: Jack Chitarell, a Republican candidate for New Jersey governor. Always 445 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 2: great to talk to you, Jack, Thank you so much. 446 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 2: Good luck with the lawsus. Thank you, guys, appreciate it. 447 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 2: Coming up next is your boss playing favorites at work? 448 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 2: Greg g and Grande is with us next to tell 449 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 2: you the best way to handle that problem. 450 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 1: Here again is Larry Minty with the WOOR Saturday Mornings Show. 451 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 4: Welcome back. 452 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 2: Did you know that HR specialist Greg g and Grande 453 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 2: will answer your questions at go to greg dot com. 454 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 2: This week Greg got two questions about bosses that play 455 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 2: favorites and co workers who share way too much about 456 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 2: their personal lives in the workplace. Greg is here to 457 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 2: tell us how to handle those workplace dilemmas. And so 458 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 2: you're ready, Greg, I'm just going to read a couple 459 00:22:58,880 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 2: of these. 460 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 8: I'm ready, Larry. Let me first say sure that you 461 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 8: are my favorite radio host. Now go ahead with your 462 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 8: first question. 463 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 2: What brought that on? Exactly? 464 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 8: Well, it relates to your first question. 465 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 2: Oh, okay, here we go. I work on a team 466 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 2: where our manager clearly plays favorites. Certain colleagues consistently get 467 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 2: the best assignments, more praise, and more flexibility. It's starting 468 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 2: to affect morale. I'm torn between speaking up or staying silent. 469 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 2: What can I do without making things worse? And that 470 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 2: comes from your favorite radio host? 471 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,719 Speaker 8: Yes, exactly, and that was, you know, one of my points. 472 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 8: Let's face it. The truth is that like many teachers 473 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,880 Speaker 8: have pets, many bosses do have their favorites. And that 474 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 8: can be a result of several factors. It could be 475 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 8: just sucking up like I was to you, Larry, but 476 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 8: it actually happens to be the truth. Or it can 477 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 8: be great chemistry that you happen to have with your boss, 478 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 8: or frequently it's really because that person demonstrates great job 479 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 8: performance and they make the boss's life easier. The boss 480 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 8: can always count on them. Now, a good boss shouldn't 481 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 8: let others feel like there is a favorite, but sometimes 482 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:35,360 Speaker 8: it's hard to hide and maybe none of those factors 483 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 8: are at play in your relationship with your boss or 484 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 8: how your boss views you. So what can you do well? 485 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 8: The person who wrote in said, should they remain silent? 486 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 8: Remaining silent is the best way to ensure that you 487 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 8: remain unhappy. So you have to do something because unhappiness 488 00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 8: at work only leads to more resentment. As this person's that, 489 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 8: it's affecting morale and when you're when your morale is affected, 490 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 8: then it affects your performance. So at the end of 491 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,640 Speaker 8: the day, you're having an adverse impact on yourself more 492 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 8: than you are on the company by staying silent and 493 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 8: just building up this resentment. So you do need to 494 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 8: say something. But speaking up and accusing your boss of 495 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 8: unfairness and playing favorites, that's not typically a good career 496 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 8: strategy either for success. 497 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 2: You're not going to become his favorite that way. No, 498 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 2: that's strategy. 499 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 8: But you know, if you speak to you if you 500 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 8: ask to speak to your boss privately, and don't make 501 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 8: it about something your boss is or isn't doing, or 502 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 8: someone else, but about you and your career ambitions and 503 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 8: your desire to do more on the team and more 504 00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 8: for the boss to take on more and hire work 505 00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:00,040 Speaker 8: and asking for feedback about what you do well and 506 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 8: what your boss thinks you can do better and how 507 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 8: you can get better at it. It makes your boss 508 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:10,199 Speaker 8: vested in your growth and development, which can improve the 509 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 8: relationship because now you're asking for their feedback and their 510 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 8: advice and their mentorship in a way, and so that's 511 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:23,400 Speaker 8: one way to improve your situation. It's also a way 512 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 8: to find out if there's an issue with your performance 513 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 8: that your boss feels and maybe that's why you're feeling 514 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 8: kind of left out. But the only way to improve 515 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 8: this is actually to say something, and that's that's the 516 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 8: best approach. 517 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 2: I love that answer, and I love this next question. 518 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,919 Speaker 2: I love my co workers how it starts, But I 519 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,480 Speaker 2: did not sign up to be their part time therapist 520 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 2: by lunch. I've heard about their ex, their cat's gluten allergy, 521 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,679 Speaker 2: and their cousins third divorce. I want to be kind, 522 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 2: but I also want to get my work done. How 523 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 2: do I gently tell them without sounding like I don't care? 524 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 8: Well? I think we have all worked with that person 525 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 8: who doesn't seem to have boundaries. It just won't shut 526 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 8: up about their personal lives or definitely shares too much 527 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 8: too frequently. They can disperse a breakroom faster than someone 528 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:24,880 Speaker 8: microwaving fish for lunch. You've seen it, We've all had 529 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 8: that experience. Someone you do care about, then you should 530 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 8: tell them that you really do care and you enjoy 531 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 8: your conversations, but you really have to catch up on 532 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 8: a ton of work, and can we maybe talk about 533 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,879 Speaker 8: this later after work? Do you want to grab a 534 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 8: bite or a drink? And every time it comes up 535 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,960 Speaker 8: at work, if you keep saying I really care, I 536 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,239 Speaker 8: want to help, but maybe we can talk about it 537 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 8: after work or or you know, during lunch or something 538 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 8: that hopefully that they will get the message. Or again, 539 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 8: depending on the relationship, if it's banal banter about their 540 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 8: cats gluten allergy, you can make fun of it and 541 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 8: then change the subject. Do this enough times in that 542 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 8: kind of way with someone you care about, and eventually 543 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 8: they should get the message. And if they don't, then 544 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,719 Speaker 8: I think again, as a friend over lunch, having a 545 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 8: direct heart to heart like you would with any friend 546 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 8: outside of work, about you know, what's working what's not 547 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 8: working is always a good approach. 548 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,360 Speaker 2: So I love this.
