We have 11 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 2: in the studio braved the roads to get here. 12 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,199 Speaker 1: I can't even believe it. 13 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 2: I guess you can call this an emergency, but I 14 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,840 Speaker 2: am very happy to that you're here. My buddy, Lisa Riker, 15 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 2: we've been friends for over thirty years. Yea, Oh my gosh, 16 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 2: I cannot believe it. She's been a buddy of mine 17 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 2: forever and ever. And we're talking about a topic that 18 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 2: is that's affected both of us because you retired this 19 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 2: year I did, and we also have in the studio 20 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 2: Nate Young, former retired Cincinnati police officer that's very passionate 21 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 2: about this subject on retirement. I wanted you both to 22 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 2: come in to talk about it. Nate, you've been retired? 23 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 2: Has it been two years? How come we can hear? 24 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: Well, there you go December twenty three. There you go. 25 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 2: Okay, So yeah, two years it's been so okay. And Lisa, 26 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 2: you just retired this year, and I know you don't 27 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 2: like that word, and we're going to get into why 28 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 2: you don't like that word. But first of all, how 29 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 2: has your year been? And what was the scariest part 30 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 2: of retiring? 31 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: Oh? I love that question. 32 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 3: First of all, I have to comment on what you 33 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 3: said when you just introduced me that we've both gone 34 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 3: through it, because it's true. I feel like I've drug 35 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 3: my group of friends through this whole process with me, 36 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 3: and it's a journey actually, and a fun one that 37 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 3: we've been on together. All the highs and lows that 38 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,119 Speaker 3: you've gone through with me. The year has been fantastic, 39 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 3: I have to say. I mean, I've had unfortunately a 40 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 3: little hiccup with a little shoulder surgery I had to have, 41 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 3: so that kind of like held back some of the 42 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 3: travel that I wanted to do. But it's been a 43 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 3: fantastic year and I think that it's because of how 44 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 3: I approached looking at retirement that it wasn't something that 45 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 3: was ending. It's a beginning. It's a new adventure that 46 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 3: I'm embarking on. I look at it as hey, I'm 47 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 3: in my third act. You've got this one ride around 48 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 3: the sun, and let's go what are we going to 49 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 3: do with it? 50 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: Sterlinge. 51 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 2: Let's be honest, we're all in the back night well, 52 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 2: and in this group, we're all in the back nine year. 53 00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: So I don't like the way that sounds at all. 54 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,119 Speaker 2: Back nine well, at least in the mid fifties, that's 55 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 2: your back nine run. 56 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: The like what would we call it? The door I'm 57 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,239 Speaker 1: not going to get a likelihood of hitting one hundreds rare, 58 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: is what you're saying. Well, yeah, that's exactly what I'm das. 59 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: Probably not helping me. 60 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 2: You're right, Nate, I want you to I want you 61 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 2: to jump in here because I know you're passionate about it. 62 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 2: What is the first thing people should know if they're 63 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 2: thinking about retiring or maybe what do you wish you 64 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 2: knew before you went on this journey of retirement? Because 65 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 2: there are people that are very afraid to retire. There's 66 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 2: a lot of fear around it, and there's also people 67 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 2: that can't absolutely can't wait for the day to retire. 68 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 4: Well, for the record, I was in the category you 69 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 4: cannot wait for retirement. Okay, I was built for retirement, 70 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 4: is what I told people when they ask me. 71 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: Is it because of your profession? 72 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 2: Because it's so stressful, I'm guessing because you're a former 73 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 2: Cincinnati police officer. 74 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 4: I think there's yeah, some of that is definitely packaged 75 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 4: in there. I think we all have stressors in our profession. 76 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 4: I don't think that first responders are unique to that, 77 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 4: so I would like to acknowledge that that everybody has 78 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 4: that in their profession. 79 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: So I don't know. 80 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 4: I feel like, somewhere along the line, as it was 81 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 4: clear what was going to happen I was going to retire, 82 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 4: I challenged myself to reset mentally and start trying to 83 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 4: wrap my mind around that and kind of figure out 84 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 4: how that's going to look for me. And yeah, so 85 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 4: I felt like I paid that path. I was the 86 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 4: first one of my friend group to retire. And so 87 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 4: now I'm looking back at my friends and kind of 88 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 4: trying to give them some ideas about what it looked 89 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 4: like for me and the trip. The trip wires that 90 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 4: I stumbled across and things that were different and difficult 91 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 4: for me and try to you know, help it, I guess, 92 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 4: flatten the curve for them and get them in a 93 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,679 Speaker 4: better place earlier, probably before you retire. It would be awesome. 94 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 4: Rather than get in that better place after you retire. 95 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 4: Let's not sacrifice seven, eight, nine, ten years of our 96 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 4: life as we approached retire and wait to get to 97 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 4: retirement to have you know, that that mental change and 98 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 4: really reset, so to speak. And that's that's what I'm 99 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 4: very passionate about. I've got a couple of friends that 100 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 4: are approaching retirement. One that thinks he's retired but isn't. 101 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 4: Dear my one of my best friends in the world, 102 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 4: my younger brother, he's getting ready to retire and just 103 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 4: trying to you know, like to pass on things to 104 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 4: make it easier for them and get them into a 105 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 4: place where I'm at now two years after I retired, 106 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 4: before they retire earlier. 107 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: So the what I witnessed from other people is not 108 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: having a purpose or a reason and seemingly stressful and 109 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: maybe even depressing in some cases once they've gotten to 110 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 1: the point of where they think they've reached, you know, oh, 111 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 1: freedom now, and then then they do that trip around 112 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: the you know, the world, They go to Australia wherever 113 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: it is, and they come home and they're like, now, 114 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: what did you have a plan and an idea and 115 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: understanding of what you wanted to do and a purpose 116 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,919 Speaker 1: and a reason? Because that after having aside from the 117 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: stressful nature of the job as a first responder and 118 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: seeing people on their best day rarely often their worst day, 119 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: sometimes that's a lot of carrying a burden for you emotionally. 120 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: A lot of times it's hard to show that the 121 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: decompressing of that period after has got to be something 122 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: difficult for some I don't know, some people maybe navigated differently. 123 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: But how did you figure that out? Or have you 124 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: figured it out? Aside from the fact that your buddies 125 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 1: are now watching you as you're saying, trying to help 126 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: them walk to it, Wow, you're pushing all the buttons tonight. Yeah, 127 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: so welcome to my Yeah. 128 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 4: So you know, I felt like in my prime of 129 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 4: my career, I was probably handling the stress. There's stressors 130 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 4: of law enforcement first responders at a out of a ten, 131 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 4: ten being perfect like a seven and a half maybe 132 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 4: an eight. Once I was removed from the job, I 133 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 4: realized I was probably operating at like a four. Thank goodness, 134 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 4: my wife is a rock star, and she was just 135 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 4: you know, dealing with all the bs that I was 136 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 4: dealing with. You know that came out in short temperedness 137 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 4: and cynicism and just grumpy and detached from wanting to 138 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 4: do things. You know, there's still some things that linger. Like, 139 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 4: you know, I don't ask her to go to her 140 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 4: place of employment for a Friday air Saturday night. Don't 141 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 4: ask me to go downtown and hang out on a 142 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 4: Friday air Saturday night, because that was my office, that's 143 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 4: where I worked, That's where I did my work. So yeah, 144 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 4: I feel like, yeah, it took me probably the better 145 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 4: part of a year to realize that, yeah, I wasn't 146 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 4: operating at the high level of managing all of that 147 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 4: that I thought I was. And going back to the 148 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 4: conversation just a few minutes ago, I want that to 149 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 4: be different for the people that I care about.

Yeah, 166 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,679 Speaker 1: nine ten months, it has been a journey. 167 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 2: Three five one, three seven, four nine seven one, eight hundred, 168 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 2: the big one. 169 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: Have you been thinking about retiring? 170 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 2: What is the scariest thing about retiring for you? 171 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 1: For me, I'm like. 172 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 2: Willie Nelson, who's still on the road at ninety two, right. 173 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: He's like, what do I have to retire from? 174 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 2: I'm playing music with my friends, I'm going out and chilling, 175 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 2: and you know, I'm kind of like, all right, Sterling, we. 176 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: We love our job. Here. It's let's be honest. What 177 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: are we going to drive? It was what they paid 178 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: me for tonight. All right, this is free. It's all 179 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: the preparation for it. Well, and that's the thing. I 180 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,839 Speaker 1: have friends that are getting close to it, and I 181 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: can't imagine not doing this or something like it. And 182 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: there's a lot of different things to be able to 183 00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: do in this realm as far as communication or you know, 184 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 1: I don't know being a creative. I don't know about that. 185 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: This week, Oh you're a creator, I guess I don't 186 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 1: know what I'm creating really trouble sometimes, But I've seen 187 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: what happens with a couple of my friend's fathers who 188 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: when they retired, they did not have a purpose, and 189 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: you could tell it was brutal on them. I do 190 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: not want to be in that situation where I don't 191 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 1: have a reason. I don't have a purpose. I you know, 192 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,599 Speaker 1: I talked to me, Oh, I'm bored, and as a 193 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: kid growing up this, well, you have no imagination. How 194 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: can you possibly be bored? I don't want to be bored. 195 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: And I find it difficult to imagine that I'm ever 196 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: going to be in a place where I don't have 197 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: a reason. If I do, then I've done something wrong. 198 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: At least I say that. Now we'll find out, however 199 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: long it takes. Sometimes they retire when you don't want to. 200 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 2: Lisa, what do you think the hard part is about 201 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 2: stepping away? I mean, you stopped making the money that 202 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 2: you were making. You had a pretty good job, and 203 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 2: you know, the health insurance was a big deal for you. 204 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 2: We talked about that a lot since March. What do 205 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 2: you think the biggest thing is? 206 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 3: You know, the biggest thing is financial, I think, but 207 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 3: you can prepare for that. And I will say this, 208 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 3: like in my early fifties, you've heard this story, Donna, 209 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 3: the CPA that I was working with at the time 210 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 3: is the one that really changed my life and said, 211 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 3: what the heck are you doing? You're traveling, you're working 212 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 3: all these different places. You got a home here, you've 213 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 3: got a home there. You know, what are you doing? 214 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,680 Speaker 3: You know what's your plan? I'm like, well, I guess 215 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 3: I don't really have one. And when I put that 216 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 3: plan in place financially, by the time I arrived at retirement, 217 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 3: I was prepared for it and it gave me the 218 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 3: freedom to make the choices that I wanted to make. 219 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 3: And as far as like sterling, what you were talking about, 220 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 3: like what am I going to do to have a purpose? 221 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 3: I left knowing that there's going to be something else 222 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 3: out there. 223 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: You know. I had an. 224 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 3: Idea of what the day to day because to your point, 225 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 3: you're not always traveling the world. You got to come 226 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 3: home at some point and then what does your day 227 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 3: look like. 228 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: I actually thought that's what you were going to say. 229 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: That's why I asked you that question. 230 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 2: I thought it was going to be not having a purpose, 231 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 2: because that would be mine. That would be the hardest 232 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 2: thing for me to retire, would be not having a purpose. 233 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I guess I've always known in the back 234 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 3: of my mind that I was going to go on 235 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 3: to do something else. And that's why I call it 236 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 3: the third act. I'm not retired. I'm just going on 237 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 3: to the next thing. I'm retired from the corporate world, 238 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 3: right and that high pressure sales quota hanging over my head. 239 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 3: It's been nice to have some relief from that. I mean, 240 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 3: I love my mornings now when I go get that 241 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 3: cup of coffee, my espresso, I'm like just chilling with 242 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 3: my dog. I go for a walk, and I'm like, 243 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 3: all those other suckers are out there trying to make 244 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 3: their number. 245 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: But I please, I don't have time to talk. I 246 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: have four zooms. Today. She's like whatever, i'ven't seen her. 247 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: She's been wild and free. 248 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 2: Tell me about the first morning after retirement. 249 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: What was that like? 250 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 3: Well, your twin gave me a coffee mug that said 251 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 3: retirement on it and it said I can do. The 252 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 3: checklist was I can do whatever the hell I want. 253 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: Boom, And that was the start of my day. 254 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 3: I think I probably sent you guys photos with everything 255 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 3: that I was doing that day that had nothing. 256 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: To do with work. Probably took a walk, I mean 257 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: the relief. Actually, you know what, I packed up my car. 258 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: That's right. I forgot about this. 259 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 3: I packed up my car and I went to visit 260 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 3: my friends in Tampa for about three weeks and stayed 261 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 3: in a condo, you know, walked along the beach, walked 262 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 3: along the bay, visited with friends and kind of checked out. 263 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 3: I was ready to come back because I had all 264 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 3: kinds of projects, you know, that I wanted to do 265 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 3: around the house and that kind of thing, and was 266 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 3: looking forward to that. 267 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: But I'm loving having the space. I'm reading. 268 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 3: I got out my watercolors. I attempted guitar. I nea 269 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 3: Donna to help me with that. Oh and I bought 270 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 3: the turntable. 271 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: That's right, she's a new DJ. She's the old DJ. 272 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 2: We used to be sterling with two turntables and a microphone. 273 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: Yeah really, yeah, yeah kidding. 274 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 3: I'm so excited about it, trying all these vintage albums, 275 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 3: and you know, all of a sudden, when you have space, 276 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 3: the creativity creeps in and the ideas creep in, and 277 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 3: I would say this, you really want to check it 278 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 3: all out, you know, and then you figure out where 279 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 3: you're going to land. So I've just created that space 280 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 3: for myself to have the adventure and know what it's 281 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 3: going to look like, you know, figure out what it's 282 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 3: going to look like. It's kind of calming. It's forming 283 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 3: right now as far as what's going to happen in 284 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 3: twenty twenty six. 285 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: And what's interesting is that our parents and the generations 286 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: before them, it was usually one act and that the career, 287 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 1: and then we didn't live as long, we did not 288 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,680 Speaker 1: live as well, and we had a different view. And 289 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: now people our age and younger, it's two or three 290 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,839 Speaker 1: different careers. Like you say, the next thing, a third 291 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: act is what you said to Nate. And the fact is, 292 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: you know, you may do a couple of part time 293 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: things that end up being a full thing. You follow 294 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: your passion or whatever it is. You know, you want 295 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: to get that money first, whatever. You know, Hopefully you 296 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: wake up and want to go. You want to you know, 297 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 1: stay there when you're there, and hopefully you're not leaving going. 298 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: I never want to go back to that crab hole 299 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: again or whatever. Right, But multiple acts and living longer, 300 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,280 Speaker 1: and I think that's really the trick. I mean, And 301 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: it sounds like you're enjoying it, Nate. You two, I mean, 302 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: early on in it or otherwise. I mean, you both 303 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: look happy and when you're talking about it, your eyes 304 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: light up, your face is champing. 305 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 2: Both. 306 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, And that's an amazing thing to see because I mean, 307 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: you can't hide that. You can fake a lot of things. 308 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: You can fake intimidation, you can fake confidence. But the 309 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: happiness and the glean in the eye when you start 310 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 1: talking about that freedom, that's not faking. You can't do that, 311 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: I don't think, or if you can, you're way better 312 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: than I No. 313 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 4: Uh, yeah, I just it's it's it's been awesome. It's 314 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 4: just been awesome. I you know, there's a few things 315 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 4: that come to mind. When Lisa was talking and we 316 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 4: had had a conversation about Uh, when I got on 317 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 4: the Cincinative Police Department, I knew that was my that 318 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 4: was where I was going to retire from. That's just 319 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 4: your calling. Yeah, I just I don't know if it's 320 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 4: I just knew it was going to be. Well, I 321 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 4: was going to retire from these young kids. Now they're 322 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 4: We're not. I'm not going to make retirement with this 323 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 4: at this job. I'm going to do something different.

It takes a toll. 362 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 2: On on on people around you because you change, Lisa, 363 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 2: when you make the decision to retire, a lot of 364 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 2: things change in your life. 365 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: What would you say is the biggest? 366 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 2: And Nate, I want to get to you right after this, 367 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 2: but what is the biggest thing that changes when you 368 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 2: decide it's your time to step away? 369 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: Oh geez, you didn't prepare me for this one. I didn't. 370 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 2: I was going to go right to Nate, and then 371 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 2: I started talking to you, like for you don't have 372 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 2: a glass of wine. 373 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 3: You know, I guess I would say that you don't 374 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 3: know all the answers you. 375 00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 1: It's like. 376 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 3: You asked me the hardest part, and I think the 377 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 3: hardest part is financial. But the biggest thing that happened 378 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 3: was that I realized I stepped out of the boat 379 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 3: in the middle of the ocean and I wasn't standing 380 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,400 Speaker 3: on anything, you know, I'm just out here floating, going, oh, okay, 381 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 3: what is next? But I did that on purpose because 382 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 3: I wanted to give myself the space to figure out 383 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 3: what was coming. I had some ideas of what it 384 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,239 Speaker 3: could look like, but I didn't want to be one 385 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,959 Speaker 3: hundred percent. You and I talk about Stephen Bartlett all 386 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 3: the time in the fifty one percent rule, and it's 387 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 3: never going to be one hundred percent. When you are 388 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,679 Speaker 3: fifty one percent sure that you're there, you've got to 389 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 3: take steps in the direction to start getting answers. The 390 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 3: knowledge comes when you start moving towards something. And I 391 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 3: knew that I was okay financially to be able to 392 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 3: take the plunge, and I knew I had an idea 393 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 3: of what each day could look like, but I was 394 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 3: okay with not knowing exactly for sure. 395 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 2: And so it's fun almost. It's fun, is throwing what's 396 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 2: coming up next? 397 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 1: Yeah? 398 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 3: It is, really, It is very fun. And I surprise 399 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 3: myself about how when you talk about change, I feel 400 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 3: like I grew in ways that were just really unexpected 401 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 3: in a positive way. But I also realize that there's 402 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 3: one piece of this that is tough to look at, too, 403 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 3: and that's that if you're looking ahead at your third act, 404 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 3: you know that you're in your third act, you are 405 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 3: on the back nine, and so you kind of face 406 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 3: your mortality. And I didn't realize that I was going 407 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 3: to see that. 408 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 2: So some scary stuff in there, some fun stuff in there, 409 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 2: some exciting stuff in there. 410 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: It's a lot mixed into one. 411 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 2: And Nate Young, former Cincinnati police officer, you've been on 412 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 2: the job for thirty one years minus the last two 413 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:05,000 Speaker 2: years that you've decided to retire. What was the hardest 414 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,959 Speaker 2: part for you about stepping away? Was it you know, 415 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 2: the you know the craziness of being a police officer 416 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 2: for thirty one years? 417 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 1: Is it missing your buddies? What is it? Wow, that's 418 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: a deep one. Yeah. 419 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 4: I miss I miss my co workers. They're you know, 420 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 4: despite what sometimes how we get painted. Ninety nine point 421 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 4: nine percent of those people are great people trying to 422 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 4: do the right thing, and we get put in a 423 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 4: lot of precarious and dangerous situations where the fraction of 424 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 4: a fraction of a second we're making decisions about, you know, 425 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 4: whether we live or die or maybe someone else does. 426 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 4: And so, you know, I miss them and I miss 427 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 4: you know, I miss their camaraderie and the fun that 428 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 4: we had at work. 429 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 1: We had a lot of fun. 430 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,439 Speaker 2: I love that he called them coworkers police officers ken 431 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 2: and also we look at them that this was like, 432 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 2: you know, they're the people that keep us safe most often, 433 00:20:58,400 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 2: and he says, my co workers. 434 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: I just found that funny. So so okay, So was 435 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: that the hardest part. 436 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 4: Or what was as we talked about a little bit earlier, 437 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 4: it was it was unburned. It was unpacking and unburning 438 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 4: myself with the stressor of the job, the stresses of 439 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:17,880 Speaker 4: the job that I thought I was handling really well, 440 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 4: and come to find out, I probably wasn't handling them 441 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 4: as well as I thought. And that was kind of 442 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 4: where I where I fell short and preparing. And then 443 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 4: it took me, you know, about a year to figure out, 444 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:33,199 Speaker 4: do some self self awareness and some self checks and 445 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 4: kind of be honest with myself that I didn't do 446 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 4: a great job and I probably wasn't doing as good 447 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 4: as I thought I was. After retirement, and went on 448 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,239 Speaker 4: a road trip with one of my best friends and 449 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 4: he's trying to step out of his career field of 450 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 4: being a realtor and he's just he's a he's just 451 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 4: probably one of the best, if not the best, in 452 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,720 Speaker 4: the city. And uh, he thinks he's semi retired, but 453 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 4: he's still chest deep in the pool. And we had 454 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 4: that conversation about in our career field of law enforcement, 455 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 4: we have a couple of different operating level and one 456 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 4: is red.

It's in the shadows, it's coming out yellow. 461 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 4: We're worried about something happening and we don't see it, 462 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 4: but maybe it is going to happen.

I mean, you know, I 498 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 2: could give them a million to meditate your kind. 499 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 1: They're not gonna listen to me. 500 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,679 Speaker 2: Maybe they will, but I mean, what, what would you 501 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 2: tell them a step to do right now so that 502 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 2: they can step away and see, hey, maybe I'm stressed too. 503 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. 504 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 4: I think we've all the police departments across the nation, 505 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 4: and the Cincinnati Police Department is just a fantastic organization. Probably, 506 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 4: I know I'm biased, one of the best in the 507 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 4: country for sure. And there's been a lot of movement 508 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 4: in the in the path of mental health for the officers, 509 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,919 Speaker 4: and I think the City of Cincinnati Police Department is 510 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 4: taking that serious. And there's some programs out there and 511 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 4: some things that are available to officers now that weren't 512 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 4: available when I first came on. Suck it Up, Buttercup. 513 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 4: We got the next radio run to go to and 514 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 4: we're gonna move on. So I think there's awareness about that, 515 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 4: and I think it's getting better. What can someone personally 516 00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 4: do be president in the moment of your job, and 517 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 4: you know, look, take it for what it is and 518 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 4: where you're at in that moment, but you also retirement 519 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 4: is coming and you've got to get prepared for it mentally. 520 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 4: Financially and all these other things. So I just it's coming. 521 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 4: Retirement is coming. Just keep that in mind. 522 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 1: And for Stirling and I, Sterling and I are going 523 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: to be still on this radio station. Maybe maybe, I hope. 524 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: So yeah. 525 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 4: So it's just it's a it's yeah, live in the moment, 526 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 4: being present in the moment of the occupation very important 527 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,679 Speaker 4: for our specific occupation. And then you know that it's coming, 528 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 4: and work keep that in mind, working that work in 529 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:36,439 Speaker 4: that direction, so to speak. 530 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 1: Well, what's interesting is what you said, because I've worked 531 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 1: in some fashion with guys doing detail work, which is 532 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,479 Speaker 1: different than the everyday job because it's a little bit 533 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: more relaxed generally. No less dangerous, No, no, not definitely, 534 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: not even you know, just with a badge on a belt, 535 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: you know, in a hat in the midst of doing 536 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,399 Speaker 1: the work. But you said something that is really wild. 537 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 1: I remember as a kid watching like Barney Miller, which, 538 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 1: by the way, that side life on the street, talking 539 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 1: to all kinds of guys that have been different levels 540 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: of law enforcement, women too, even FBI crossed the way here. 541 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: They have told me that that in some ways is 542 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,439 Speaker 1: probably the closest to realistic of a situation of working 543 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 1: in a squad room or whatever else in a situation 544 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 1: of guys interacting that there could possibly be. But that 545 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 1: was a kid coming up in the late seventies and 546 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: early eighties. Except for homicide life on the street, and 547 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 1: I've talked to some murder police in Cincinnati who have 548 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 1: gotten a lot of attention, like first forty eight and 549 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: that type of thing. But you just mentioned this about 550 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: in the time that you were on the job, coming 551 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 1: to a point of mental health and balance and getting 552 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: to a healthier place was just becoming something more commonplace 553 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: and looking at it rather than you've been involved in 554 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: a tough engagement. It's been a hot situation. Maybe somebody 555 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: didn't go home or could not have gone home. Well, 556 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: it's the next call. Suck it up, buttercup. Whatever. It's 557 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: taken a long time to go to a place where 558 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 1: you have to worry about the person because you're doing 559 00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,719 Speaker 1: the job. You're better on the job when you're mentally 560 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: and taken care of, and you're better with your family. Yeah, 561 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 1: you know, we what do we do? 562 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 4: We get our oil change in our car everyow three 563 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 4: thousand and five thousand miles. We get our air ducts 564 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 4: in our house, blown out, change the filters in the furnace. 565 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, and. 566 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 4: The most important part of that CINCINNTI Police Department, or 567 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 4: the men and the women with their boots on the 568 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 4: ground in the streets. And although they haven't traditionally done 569 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 4: a good job with the maintenance on those people, and 570 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 4: they're people, they're humans, And so how do we get 571 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 4: better at that within the Cincinnati Police Department? I say 572 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 4: we I'm not there anymore, but there's still my people 573 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 4: back there. Of course, how do we get better and 574 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 4: doing that? And what does that look like? I don't know. 575 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 4: I'm not that smart, but I want that for them. 576 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,919 Speaker 4: So and I think there's a trend moving in that direction, 577 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 4: is tracking in that direction. But uh, you know, and 578 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 4: we're supposed to be tough people, right, We're not supposed 579 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 4: to have too many emotions. We're not supposed to be 580 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 4: you know, acknowledged that that shook us up a little bit, 581 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 4: or that bothered us or whatever. And I think we've 582 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 4: got to kind of, you know, acknowledge that we got 583 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 4: break that down a little bit. And it's okay to 584 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,479 Speaker 4: you get upset. It's okay to be upset. You know, 585 00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 4: there's a time and a place. If bullets are flying, 586 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 4: we can't huddle up and talk about it right then 587 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 4: and there. We'll have to get through this together. But 588 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 4: you know, let's let's decompress and talk about a little bit. 589 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 4: So I think it's trending in that direction where we're 590 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,919 Speaker 4: going to do maintenance on the people, the humans that 591 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,920 Speaker 4: are doing the job, and then that's a good thing. 592 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 4: How does that look? And who's doing it? It's not me, 593 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 4: I'm not that smart, but I hope we got some 594 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 4: people working on it that can do that. 595 00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 1: How many women on the forest that you worked with? 596 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 4: I know we are trying to get it up to 597 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 4: about thirty three percent of the force. Probably I'm going 598 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 4: to guess here in the seven to eight hundred total numbers, 599 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 4: whatever that number is, we're not there. My partner for 600 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 4: the last oh jeez, if I get this wrong, I'll 601 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 4: probably get yelled at by her to six seven eight 602 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 4: years was a woman, great lady, Kata Warner. She's a 603 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 4: rock star with another partner of mine, very famous BT 604 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 4: Green police officer he was. And I've had a lot 605 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 4: of fe male police officers that I worked with, and 606 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 4: they are what an asset to the police department. You know, 607 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 4: you go to a radio run and you got your 608 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 4: chest pumped out and you want to be tough and 609 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 4: point your finger out people and tell them how this 610 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 4: is going to go down, and you probably instigate a 611 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 4: confrontation because you're you're just a man and that's the 612 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 4: way it's going to go down. And then you got 613 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 4: this five foot two nothing little female setting next to 614 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,239 Speaker 4: you that escalates the whole thing and just shuts that 615 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 4: guy down. And you're like, you know, like, oh, well, 616 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 4: I guess I could have done that a little bit different, 617 00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 4: a different way to go, And I'm like, this is 618 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 4: a good thing, right learn. Yeah, So you know, uh, 619 00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 4: you know, the women on the police department are awesome. 620 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 4: They do a fantastic job. Just it's just a great group. 621 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 2: They have to be tough too, I mean when you say, 622 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 2: you know, we're big tough and yeah, I mean that's 623 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 2: what I was going to say. And we're going to 624 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 2: talk more about that in a minute, Lisa. Let's get 625 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,520 Speaker 2: to the nitty gritty here, though. How much money do 626 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 2: you need? I know you are someone that dots her 627 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 2: eyes crossed or tease, you ask a million questions, you 628 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 2: prepare yourself for almost everything. I know, you know a number, 629 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 2: tell us what you know, basically you should have if 630 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 2: you're going to retire at someone's. 631 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 1: Say sixty two, sixty three, sixty four. 632 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, Donna, you're not going to like my answer because 633 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 3: it is definitely not about a number. I mean, we're 634 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 3: all sitting in this room and could require completely different things. 635 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 3: And so when I go back to talk about the 636 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 3: financial piece of it and planning for it, there's two 637 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 3: things that I would say that you need to look 638 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 3: at it. 639 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: It's not just having. 640 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 3: A portfolio manager, somebody that's managing your money and where 641 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 3: it's at and what it's making. It's having somebody that's 642 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 3: helping you develop a really comprehensive plan because you're looking 643 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,920 Speaker 3: it is unique. Two people are going to have the 644 00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:57,480 Speaker 3: same mortgage or maybe no mortgage, maybe it's rent. Maybe 645 00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 3: they don't have the same plans for what they want 646 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 3: to do and their retirement, kids and their kids, grandkids. 647 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: What do you want to leave behind? 648 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 3: You got to work with somebody that's going to put 649 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 3: all that information into a system that's going to kind 650 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 3: of calculate that for you.

We talked about 694 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 2: it without knowing anything, how much money we think you 695 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 2: should have, and that's going to be in the million 696 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 2: dollar range. 697 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: I think at least that's what we want unless you 698 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: die fast and then and I put it, look at 699 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: it like this, Well, no, I mean I'm planning it. 700 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,160 Speaker 1: I want to end at zero, right, I mean in 701 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 1: a perfect way to lieve anything left for Enid. I 702 00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 1: mean maybe some charities or something. I have a pet 703 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 1: turtle who will likely outlive me that I've had since 704 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 1: I was eight. I got in the woods mushroom hunting 705 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: and prebble and she. I think the oldest in captivity 706 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 1: is one hundred and fifteen years. So no matter how 707 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 1: much yoga you get me into, or how much yogurt 708 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 1: I eat from grease, how much less coffee I consume, 709 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,359 Speaker 1: I'm not making one fifteen so other than taking care 710 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 1: of her. 711 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 2: And who would want to just a forty more years 712 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:13,840 Speaker 2: to pay bills? 713 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,319 Speaker 1: No, thank you, Nate. 714 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 2: We were talking earlier, right, So Lisa kind of she 715 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 2: didn't dodge the question on how much money she has 716 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 2: that I'm asking her to to bulge this in front 717 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:32,320 Speaker 2: of all of Cincinnati, But how much money you need 718 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,399 Speaker 2: or would feel comfortable that might be the better way 719 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 2: of saying it to retire because a lot of people, Nate, 720 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 2: we were just talking about this, A lot of people 721 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,160 Speaker 2: still have to work because of health insurance alone. I mean, 722 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 2: the big deal in this country and many others is that, hey, 723 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,359 Speaker 2: health insurance. You worked forty hours a week, you get 724 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,400 Speaker 2: a four oh one K, you get health insurance. After 725 00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 2: you retire, that's all gone. So what would you say 726 00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 2: on how much money that someone should plan for? 727 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 4: Can I phone a friend and that friend would be 728 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,000 Speaker 4: my wife and she would tell me how much money 729 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 4: I need for retirement. She is the bank of Jamie 730 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 4: and she keeps. 731 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 1: The answer is a lot. So I'm not going to 732 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: do much much better than Lisa did. 733 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,919 Speaker 4: I think I'm in a fortunate situation where I draw 734 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,360 Speaker 4: a pension. I feel like that's going to be a 735 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,720 Speaker 4: thing of the past as we move forward. 736 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 1: I know a couple might. 737 00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 4: Well, you know, at least one is in a career 738 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 4: field where there's not a pension. It's on him to 739 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:32,880 Speaker 4: do his four oh one K and all that stuff. 740 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,880 Speaker 4: So yeah, that's a that's a pretty big question with 741 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,400 Speaker 4: a man. I don't I don't know what to say 742 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 4: A million doesn't seem like enough nowadays, does it. 743 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you're look at we're both nodding our 744 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 1: head yet, and it depends on how long you expect 745 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 1: to live and how you want to live, right, do 746 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 1: you want to be free to roam about the planet? 747 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: Is you're choosing? You know, I want to go to Australia. 748 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,359 Speaker 1: I want to go diving in a great barrier reef 749 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,640 Speaker 1: before it's gone, whatever it is, And that that's really 750 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,239 Speaker 1: the the choices you have to sort of, you know, 751 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,439 Speaker 1: look at and say how much that cost? And health 752 00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 1: care not cheap. It's tough. 753 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 2: But if you do have twenty after retirement twenty twenty 754 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 2: five thirty years to live, which a lot of people 755 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 2: do without you know, an income coming in that that 756 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 2: would be a little scary for me. 757 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:22,760 Speaker 1: I would think, definitely. 758 00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 2: So if you've got a pension and you have insurance, 759 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:30,720 Speaker 2: you're kind of good. 760 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 4: I feel very blessed in that way that we both 761 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 4: draw a pension. She's retired from twenty plus years in 762 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 4: the United States Air Force, so she has a pension. 763 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 4: Our health care comes from her service. So that was 764 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,080 Speaker 4: we're really good on that. I wish again, circling back 765 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:51,400 Speaker 4: to trying to pave this path for my good friends 766 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,280 Speaker 4: coming behind me. Is I wish I would have really 767 00:36:55,320 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 4: realized that retirement is going to happen. Get your stuff 768 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:04,440 Speaker 4: together and get it, get it going. I was kind 769 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 4: of a late bloomer in that sense where I'm like, oh, 770 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 4: this is really going to happen. How do I make 771 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,360 Speaker 4: up some ground here? And things like that, And you know, 772 00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:13,759 Speaker 4: I probably short changed myself and the family a little 773 00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 4: bit by not uh really seeing down the road that 774 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 4: that clearly. So I, you know, I just it's going 775 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:23,400 Speaker 4: to happen. Get prepared for Go talk to someone professionally. 776 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 4: There's with the police department. They do a lot of 777 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 4: things where you can go to talk to people for 778 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 4: free and they'll and they'll help you out. And you know, 779 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,440 Speaker 4: law enforcement they want to, you know, help that community. 780 00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,880 Speaker 4: And so we have a lot of resources that probably 781 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 4: a lot of other people pay for that we people 782 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 4: will just get us started to help us with. So 783 00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,520 Speaker 4: there's no reason not to get on top of that early. 784 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 4: I wish I had done a better job. 785 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,719 Speaker 1: Powerball is a billion dollars, the great Plan. I love it. 786 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 1: That's my plans. 787 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't it doesn't happen in corporate either nobody's 788 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,439 Speaker 3: pulling you aside to talk about your retirement to eat 789 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 3: and and you know what you want it to look like. 790 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 3: I mean, you really have to lean on mentors. I mean, 791 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 3: my aunt and uncle had retired before me, but their 792 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,719 Speaker 3: picture looks much different than what you know mine looks like. 793 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 3: But you have to talk to your friends, which I 794 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 3: have about, like what is my vision for it? What 795 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,880 Speaker 3: do I need emotionally, what do I need in my 796 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,840 Speaker 3: day to day activity. It's all of it, and we 797 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 3: do need to be talking about it. And I realized, 798 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 3: because I was going through it, I really didn't know 799 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 3: anyone that was my age that was going through the 800 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:37,840 Speaker 3: exact same thing that I was going through. And I 801 00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 3: leaned on Donna and Claire and our friend Kathy and 802 00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 3: talked with them quite a bit. But it nobody's gonna 803 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 3: do it for you. I would say, start, if you 804 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,839 Speaker 3: are in your fifties, start looking at it and look 805 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 3: at what you're spending is to be able to prepare 806 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,319 Speaker 3: for that aspect of it, and then start writing down 807 00:38:58,440 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 3: some of the things that you think that you'd like 808 00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,399 Speaker 3: to be doing, and you got to put that into 809 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 3: your plan. 810 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: Too. 811 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,879 Speaker 3: You know, it's exciting. It is something that we should 812 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,120 Speaker 3: look forward to. When you said stuff, Nate, I didn't 813 00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,200 Speaker 3: know what you meant by that. You said, I wish 814 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 3: I would have had my stuff together earlier. 815 00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,400 Speaker 1: What did that?

We don't have time for 825 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 4: the thought of retirement.

They promised me right 1059 00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,040 Speaker 2: before we got on air that they're going to be real, 1060 00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:55,880 Speaker 2: honest men, Lisa and I are going to keep it 1061 00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:59,960 Speaker 2: one hundred percent. So I'm going to start the conversation 1062 00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,719 Speaker 2: and five one, three, sevemore nine hundred the big one. 1063 00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:05,120 Speaker 1: If you have any questions, you want to call in with. 1064 00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:09,359 Speaker 2: So first question, and I'm going to keep it real 1065 00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:11,280 Speaker 2: easy for the first couple of questions. 1066 00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:13,399 Speaker 1: Right, who pays for the first date? 1067 00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:20,680 Speaker 3: I got this one, Okay. I would normally say, whoever asks. 1068 00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:25,000 Speaker 1: Ask for the date, but keep it a hundred. 1069 00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,640 Speaker 3: I will definitely have an opinion if the man doesn't offer, 1070 00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:30,960 Speaker 3: even if I was the one that asks. If he 1071 00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:34,440 Speaker 3: isn't offering, he might just move down some notches on 1072 00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:36,200 Speaker 3: my hand on my list. 1073 00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:38,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, if he doesn't pay for the first date, he's 1074 00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:39,680 Speaker 2: not getting a second one. 1075 00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,839 Speaker 1: To be honest, now, I always want to try to pay, 1076 00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:45,840 Speaker 1: and it's I always. I don't know if it was. 1077 00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,600 Speaker 1: I was raised to not be a chauvinist, but all 1078 00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:51,279 Speaker 1: the stuff my mother drilled into me that is now 1079 00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:54,160 Speaker 1: a part of my DNA makes me somewhat of a 1080 00:51:54,200 --> 00:51:57,640 Speaker 1: sexist or a chauvinist. I want to pay. I want 1081 00:51:57,640 --> 00:52:00,880 Speaker 1: to hold the door, I want to make sure stuff's handled, 1082 00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:03,080 Speaker 1: and I want to make sure that she is happy 1083 00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,760 Speaker 1: in what's going on all the time and so forth. 1084 00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:09,600 Speaker 1: And it turns out you want to pay, Lisa. But 1085 00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:12,760 Speaker 1: then if I don't ask, I'm somehow less than because 1086 00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:17,000 Speaker 1: I should at least make an effort all all my questions. 1087 00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:20,960 Speaker 1: I gotta reach for the bill, boy, I can't quite reach. 1088 00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,799 Speaker 1: That's tough, Nate. So you said there's no winning here, Nate. 1089 00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:28,640 Speaker 1: Who pays on the first date? Is there a manual 1090 00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:29,879 Speaker 1: that we can buy? 1091 00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:35,440 Speaker 2: We're creating it right now, boy, we're creating it right Gays, 1092 00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:40,439 Speaker 2: And that was an easy one. Who asks someone out 1093 00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,440 Speaker 2: on a date? Now this is not. This is a 1094 00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,440 Speaker 2: little bit more complicated because since the me too movement, 1095 00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,080 Speaker 2: which was a necessary movement, but there was an over 1096 00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:50,879 Speaker 2: correction and men don't know what to do with women anymore, right, 1097 00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,400 Speaker 2: so they don't know if they should go up and 1098 00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,279 Speaker 2: and and ask them out. Is it going to be 1099 00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,600 Speaker 2: creepy or women not going to be But Lisa, you 1100 00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:02,880 Speaker 2: and I both know we like the man to ask 1101 00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:04,680 Speaker 2: a woman out on a date. 1102 00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:10,040 Speaker 3: YEA love to be approached. I would much rather have 1103 00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:13,440 Speaker 3: a man approach me. And I mean, you can show 1104 00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:16,560 Speaker 3: you know, some interest, So that they have the confidence 1105 00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:20,000 Speaker 3: to do the asking. I mean, you can lead them 1106 00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:22,480 Speaker 3: down the path if they don't bite. 1107 00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:27,840 Speaker 2: At that point, if a guy comes up to you, 1108 00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,680 Speaker 2: and let's just say we were a call back earlier 1109 00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:33,319 Speaker 2: to the show.

And that what you 1145 00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:14,719 Speaker 1: just said in the midst of that makes it even 1146 00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:18,080 Speaker 1: more troubling for a single guy to in that and 1147 00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:20,279 Speaker 1: to wade into those waters, which leads to the other 1148 00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:23,239 Speaker 1: question of not just to who ask who out, but 1149 00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:25,600 Speaker 1: and picking up the check and everything. If I ask 1150 00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:28,000 Speaker 1: you out, I'm going to pay unless you want to 1151 00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,360 Speaker 1: fight me for it or something ridiculous I'm gonna probably 1152 00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:32,480 Speaker 1: try to sneak and pay on the other side. But 1153 00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:34,560 Speaker 1: let me ask this about the dating thing. If you're 1154 00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:37,640 Speaker 1: in a committed relationship, married or cohabitating, I've lived in 1155 00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:39,799 Speaker 1: a couple of times longer than some of my friends 1156 00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:43,480 Speaker 1: have been married once or twice three times. In that situation, 1157 00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:45,319 Speaker 1: no judgment that they like to judge the guy who 1158 00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:49,719 Speaker 1: hasn't actually but got the ring. If you're together and 1159 00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:52,000 Speaker 1: she wants to pay or you know, oh, i'll get 1160 00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:53,560 Speaker 1: it tonight or you get it to whatever, then I 1161 00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:56,239 Speaker 1: don't see anything necessarily wrong with that. But I still 1162 00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:59,759 Speaker 1: feel like I'm not necessarily pulling my weight. Ooh, and 1163 00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:01,879 Speaker 1: that an ingrained guy thing again, I. 1164 00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:04,640 Speaker 2: Think, Okay, so the guy doesn't have to pay every 1165 00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:06,359 Speaker 2: single time, that is. 1166 00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,399 Speaker 1: Absolutely not but they'll hold it against you at least 1167 00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:10,319 Speaker 1: have sort of had that thing. 1168 00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:19,960 Speaker 2: No, no, no, the first couple I think is very cool, 1169 00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:25,520 Speaker 2: even if it's just the first date, right, But but no, 1170 00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:26,960 Speaker 2: I have every intention. 1171 00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:29,520 Speaker 1: It's fairness after that. Yeah, fairness after a degree. 1172 00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:33,640 Speaker 2: I mean, it's nice if the guy is successful and 1173 00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,680 Speaker 2: says no, no, no, you're not you're not paying. That's nice, 1174 00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:41,120 Speaker 2: But it's not necessary at all. Would you agree with that? Absolutely? 1175 00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:45,640 Speaker 2: I think going forward you can. It also depends on 1176 00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:49,480 Speaker 2: where you're going and what you're doing too, And so 1177 00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:53,040 Speaker 2: we talked about splitting earlier, and if you want to, 1178 00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:55,560 Speaker 2: you know, it might make sense to split a meal 1179 00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:57,279 Speaker 2: or split. 1180 00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:01,399 Speaker 1: The gain listeners at home, please mait. 1181 00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:03,239 Speaker 5: I don't know if that was on air. Tell that 1182 00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:05,719 Speaker 5: story if you. Oh lord, I think it was off. 1183 00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:07,600 Speaker 5: It's strong. You got to you gotta share. 1184 00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:09,560 Speaker 4: So I'm not getting out of this night without getting 1185 00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:11,719 Speaker 4: in trouble. Some of you had to have known that 1186 00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:14,239 Speaker 4: before you agreed to come in here, all right, Yeah? 1187 00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:14,400 Speaker 1: No. 1188 00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:18,160 Speaker 4: Just recently, my beloved reminded me that on our first 1189 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,520 Speaker 4: date at the Silver Spring House, I asked her if 1190 00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:21,920 Speaker 4: she would like to split a meal. 1191 00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:24,360 Speaker 1: And she still brings that up. 1192 00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,120 Speaker 4: And I didn't do that for any other reason that 1193 00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:28,400 Speaker 4: I didn't want to be full. 1194 00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:30,800 Speaker 1: For that night on my first date with this beautiful lady. 1195 00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:32,880 Speaker 4: I just kind of wanted a nice light meal so 1196 00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,240 Speaker 4: we could have some drinks and engage in conversation or 1197 00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,640 Speaker 4: whatever else. And she never lets me live that down 1198 00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:40,360 Speaker 4: that I asked her she wanted to split a meal. 1199 00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:44,080 Speaker 1: Now that it's been wetted bliss for a minute or two. Yeah, right, 1200 00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:47,360 Speaker 1: but why do we see if that did buy that, well, I. 1201 00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:50,480 Speaker 4: Might have said a few things that were probably poking 1202 00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:51,160 Speaker 4: her a little bit. 1203 00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:53,840 Speaker 1: You know, we won't go into that, but you see 1204 00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,960 Speaker 1: that the way you solved that though, how about some appetizers, right, 1205 00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:58,720 Speaker 1: and then you just ordered a table full of little 1206 00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:00,880 Speaker 1: stuff and then you eat what you want. You know, Yeah, 1207 00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:03,120 Speaker 1: that's perfectly fine. We had a great night, by the way. 1208 00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:06,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So who are better communicators? 1209 00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:11,240 Speaker 1: Men or women? First of all, say, my friend Stephanie's 1210 00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,280 Speaker 1: having a party tonight and I'm here because of the 1211 00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:15,560 Speaker 1: weather and hanging out with you guys. So Hi, Stephanie, 1212 00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:21,880 Speaker 1: I know she's listening. Secondly, what was the question? What 1213 00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:27,280 Speaker 1: was it? Yes, communication, dosten. Listening is important. There's one. Two. 1214 00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:29,640 Speaker 1: Here's the thing. What why is it that a woman 1215 00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:32,680 Speaker 1: will say what's wrong? And I say nothing, and then 1216 00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:34,840 Speaker 1: they continue to want to ask you even though I 1217 00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:37,840 Speaker 1: say everything's fine, even whether I'm being introspective or I'm 1218 00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:41,320 Speaker 1: just quiet or something like that. Why can't know nothing's 1219 00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:44,440 Speaker 1: wrong be enough? Because no means no. Another circumstances, I'm 1220 00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:46,400 Speaker 1: supposed to ride with that I got this one. 1221 00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:49,680 Speaker 2: I think you're now, Yeah, he is, because he doesn't 1222 00:58:49,760 --> 00:58:51,000 Speaker 2: understand what I mean. 1223 00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:53,720 Speaker 1: No, No, I understand what no means. But I mean, 1224 00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:54,640 Speaker 1: if everything's fine. 1225 00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:57,200 Speaker 2: I think that when there's a shift in energy and 1226 00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:00,200 Speaker 2: a woman feels that they they want to say, hey, 1227 00:59:00,200 --> 00:59:00,680 Speaker 2: what's up. 1228 00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:02,480 Speaker 1: I can tell something's going on. 1229 00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:05,680 Speaker 2: And if you say nothing's going on and she says, 1230 00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:06,920 Speaker 2: I feel like it's. 1231 00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:10,840 Speaker 1: Her, she's transferring it. She's got the problem. Right, Oh, boys, Sterling, 1232 00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,600 Speaker 1: am I getting in trouble again? I'm gonna see that. 1233 00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:16,160 Speaker 1: There's a reason that I can't I can't do right. 1234 00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:17,320 Speaker 1: It's it's always that. 1235 00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:21,040 Speaker 4: Well, guys say what they mean, right girls speaking code. 1236 00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:26,240 Speaker 1: Yes, it's true. I mean I said exactly what I 1237 00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:30,160 Speaker 1: meant when I said there's there's no levels of what 1238 00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:33,760 Speaker 1: it is what I said it was, And that's universal. 1239 00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:36,960 Speaker 1: I've talked to guys when I lived in work field. 1240 00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:41,080 Speaker 1: That's right, from all over, different cultures, different thing. It 1241 00:59:41,200 --> 00:59:43,880 Speaker 1: is a very common thing when they just leave my 1242 00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:46,640 Speaker 1: pillow and blanket in the work it out. We open 1243 00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:48,120 Speaker 1: Pandora's box here. 1244 00:59:48,480 --> 00:59:52,240 Speaker 3: I probably am one of the many women that do 1245 00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:56,120 Speaker 3: listen when you say that it's nothing and believe it, 1246 00:59:56,240 --> 01:00:01,040 Speaker 3: because sometimes I wonder if there's anything going on in there. 1247 01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:10,000 Speaker 1: You mean, well, there's it's nothing. They really they are 1248 01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:14,320 Speaker 1: telling the truth. That's true. I don't take that. 1249 01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:19,680 Speaker 2: We're pretty simple. So, Nate Warmed, I have a question. 1250 01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:23,600 Speaker 2: Do you not think hang on, that's a double name. 1251 01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:27,000 Speaker 2: Do you think women don't mean what they say and 1252 01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:27,840 Speaker 2: say what they mean? 1253 01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:30,240 Speaker 1: We speak? What kind of code is? Are you not 1254 01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:30,960 Speaker 1: listening to Nate? 1255 01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:31,320 Speaker 2: Just now? 1256 01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:34,520 Speaker 1: I said, like, I want to see how deep this goes. 1257 01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:37,440 Speaker 1: I'm getting into it because he's trying to bury me 1258 01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:40,840 Speaker 1: in one and you got the whole. I'm serious. 1259 01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:43,320 Speaker 2: That is an interesting answer, and I know a lot 1260 01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:45,360 Speaker 2: that you should have seen Sterling jumping out of his 1261 01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:48,080 Speaker 2: seat over here trying to agree with you. 1262 01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:49,760 Speaker 1: Couldn't agree with you more on that. 1263 01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:53,360 Speaker 2: I want to know, do you think, really, you know, 1264 01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:56,360 Speaker 2: we talking code, nothing's wrong, But then there's this, then 1265 01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:56,960 Speaker 2: there's that, and. 1266 01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,120 Speaker 1: Guys do that as well. Well, let's be honest. I 1267 01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:05,520 Speaker 1: just think women are complicated people. That's why we love them. 1268 01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:08,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, and there's a lot to Yeah, there's just we 1269 01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:11,000 Speaker 4: gotta we're not the same, We're not wired the same. 1270 01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:13,360 Speaker 4: I'm just that's how I feel. Women and men are 1271 01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:17,280 Speaker 4: not wired the same. We think we react in different 1272 01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:20,360 Speaker 4: situations in different ways. We talked about the police officer 1273 01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:23,960 Speaker 4: thing with the woman police officer present versus the man present. 1274 01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:25,840 Speaker 4: So think women and men are different and that's a 1275 01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:27,000 Speaker 4: good thing, right. 1276 01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:30,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, women, men can be more I'll give you this. 1277 01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:34,840 Speaker 2: Men can be more calm in situations when women can 1278 01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:36,640 Speaker 2: get a little bit emotional. 1279 01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:39,160 Speaker 1: I think I don't even know if emotional is a 1280 01:01:42,080 --> 01:01:44,160 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm just listening. There was something in my teeth. 1281 01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:47,840 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, us all right? 1282 01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:53,520 Speaker 2: Who avoids conflict but remembers everything and holds resentment? 1283 01:01:53,720 --> 01:01:59,920 Speaker 1: Every woman I've known, Oh I'm in trouble now? Is that? 1284 01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,240 Speaker 1: I don't know? Are you talking about splitting the meal 1285 01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:06,960 Speaker 1: again on the first date? Right because she holds on 1286 01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:10,920 Speaker 1: to it?

I think 1434 01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:30,479 Speaker 2: it's attractive. I didn't get a chance to answer this, 1435 01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:34,360 Speaker 2: but I wanted to because the thing about confidence is, 1436 01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:37,840 Speaker 2: and I'll speak for myself, I am my biggest cheerleader. 1437 01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:41,800 Speaker 2: I am somebody that's like constantly self talk.

Now, I don't 1441 01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:59,960 Speaker 2: find arrogance attractive confidences and sometimes there's a fine law. 1442 01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:03,720 Speaker 1: Do you agree with me, Sterling? Yeah, I mean you 1443 01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:07,920 Speaker 1: can go overboard. Not you personally, but people can in 1444 01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:09,000 Speaker 1: a situation like that. 1445 01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:11,080 Speaker 2: You mean when I say we killed it on that 1446 01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:13,320 Speaker 2: break and I was really good. 1447 01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:17,200 Speaker 1: Well, I don't like anything I do, so you know 1448 01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:22,479 Speaker 1: that's I've learned to appreciate what works or I'm told works, 1449 01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:24,920 Speaker 1: and I can enjoy like this is a good, needy, 1450 01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:30,880 Speaker 1: multiple layer like conversation. Right, This is compelling. That's all 1451 01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:34,880 Speaker 1: this is is trying you're wanting to This is human behavior, 1452 01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:38,360 Speaker 1: this is life. This is people's stuff. There's nothing more important. 1453 01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:40,880 Speaker 1: And that's what really what this radio station is built on. 1454 01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:43,000 Speaker 1: I mean, you're talking about social media. This is the 1455 01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:46,479 Speaker 1: very first social media meteor that there was, and it 1456 01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:49,120 Speaker 1: continues to be the case. It helps I could talk English. 1457 01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:53,280 Speaker 2: It is interesting because the who avoids conflict but remembers 1458 01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:57,080 Speaker 2: everything and holds resentment that I saw as men, and 1459 01:10:57,120 --> 01:10:58,920 Speaker 2: so does Lisa and you guys. 1460 01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:04,720 Speaker 1: Most send me was women.

They don't open 1470 01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:34,240 Speaker 2: up because men don't talk to men this way. And 1471 01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:37,400 Speaker 2: I'm actually very proud of you too, because you're kind 1472 01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:41,400 Speaker 2: of connecting on another You're bonding on another level like women. 1473 01:11:41,439 --> 01:11:45,519 Speaker 2: Normally we're talking about the hardest stuff and you guys 1474 01:11:45,600 --> 01:11:48,599 Speaker 2: are open to doing it. But I think sometimes you 1475 01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:51,360 Speaker 2: close up because you don't want to bother anybody, and 1476 01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:53,120 Speaker 2: then later on you hold resentment. 1477 01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:58,759 Speaker 1: Do you agree? Yes, thank you, Nate. I do I agree, 1478 01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:00,960 Speaker 1: But I'll say this. You know why. There may be fear, 1479 01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:04,080 Speaker 1: interrepidation or reluctance of a lot of guys to do 1480 01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:06,200 Speaker 1: this is you want us to open up, and then 1481 01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:08,760 Speaker 1: when we do open up, you look at us as 1482 01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:13,599 Speaker 1: somehow being weak or too emotional, and then somehow that's 1483 01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:15,920 Speaker 1: a negative. After initially you were like, please please tell me, 1484 01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:17,559 Speaker 1: what are you really thinking? How do you really feel 1485 01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:20,559 Speaker 1: about this? Yeah, and I've seen it, I've witnessed it, 1486 01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:22,920 Speaker 1: I've lived it, and but I've talked to other guys, 1487 01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:24,760 Speaker 1: you know, over beers or whatever. It's like, man, I 1488 01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:26,680 Speaker 1: did exactly what she said. She just said the other thing. 1489 01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:28,320 Speaker 1: And usually a lot of us guys will just drink 1490 01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:30,040 Speaker 1: beers and be quiet and we're happy as I'll get 1491 01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:33,840 Speaker 1: out anyway, I don't have to say anything. It's us 1492 01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:37,599 Speaker 1: women that are complicated. Yeah, it got your number. Yes, 1493 01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:39,320 Speaker 1: I know. I am very simple. 1494 01:12:39,800 --> 01:12:44,080 Speaker 3: Change that word from complicated to multi faceting. 1495 01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:48,280 Speaker 1: Yes you are. I didn't mean that in a complication. 1496 01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:53,000 Speaker 1: I mean being complicated is not multiple layer like an 1497 01:12:54,520 --> 01:12:58,080 Speaker 1: without an owner's manual. Yes, Nate, you had a question 1498 01:12:58,400 --> 01:12:59,080 Speaker 1: for the ladies. 1499 01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:01,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, well this is a recovery question. I hoped at 1500 01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:04,439 Speaker 4: my home front simmers down a little bit out there. 1501 01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:07,240 Speaker 1: Do women like wool. 1502 01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:12,799 Speaker 4: Convertible leopard print moccasin style slip on shoes in size seven. 1503 01:13:15,360 --> 01:13:18,200 Speaker 4: I could just get a response from for that police. 1504 01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:21,680 Speaker 4: I would hold my home front a little bit. 1505 01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:24,960 Speaker 1: I would like this. I think there's nothing wrong with. 1506 01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:30,520 Speaker 3: Nice move moccasin girl. I love moccasins. 1507 01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:34,160 Speaker 1: I am up all right. Oh my god. 1508 01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:37,040 Speaker 2: I actually went out on a date with a guy 1509 01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:40,720 Speaker 2: and I couldn't believe he said this to me. It 1510 01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:44,080 Speaker 2: was the weirdest thing ever. We were we were just 1511 01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:48,240 Speaker 2: having a random conversation and uh, he said to me, oh, 1512 01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:50,840 Speaker 2: I have the worst luck in the world. And I 1513 01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:54,760 Speaker 2: was like, what he said, I'm just unlucky. I know 1514 01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:57,599 Speaker 2: everything bad happens to me. I'm like, I'm really glad 1515 01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:00,160 Speaker 2: you told me that, because I don't want to at 1516 01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:04,080 Speaker 2: any time with somebody who so has so much bad luck. 1517 01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:08,280 Speaker 2: Who in the world would ever want to spend some 1518 01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:11,160 Speaker 2: time with somebody that says they were mister unlucky. 1519 01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:14,880 Speaker 1: That's a weird thing. We all have stretches, but yeah, 1520 01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:18,840 Speaker 1: some stuff you keep to yourself. Well, that's one of them. 1521 01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:21,800 Speaker 1: I mean, I share too much here, so you know, 1522 01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:24,240 Speaker 1: it's sort of likely the critical for me to say that, 1523 01:14:24,280 --> 01:14:24,880 Speaker 1: But it's true. 1524 01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:27,599 Speaker 4: I believe in the vibration thing. If you put out 1525 01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:30,559 Speaker 4: those vibrations exactly, those are the vibrations that come back 1526 01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:32,960 Speaker 4: to you. And I'm not a master of that. That's 1527 01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:35,639 Speaker 4: a new thing for me over the past eight seventy 1528 01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:38,360 Speaker 4: eight nine years. I believe in that the vibrations you 1529 01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:40,599 Speaker 4: put out are the vibrations you get back. 1530 01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:43,800 Speaker 2: Match energy in the US, what you put out, you 1531 01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:47,639 Speaker 2: get back. That's just what happens. If you and and Nate. 1532 01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:49,559 Speaker 2: That's so great that you talked about it, because that's 1533 01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:51,479 Speaker 2: what exactly what I was talking about. How in the 1534 01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:53,599 Speaker 2: world do I want to be around somebody so unlucky? 1535 01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:57,880 Speaker 2: But if you don't feel loved in your life, that's 1536 01:14:57,880 --> 01:14:59,760 Speaker 2: what you need to give. You need to give love. 1537 01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:04,479 Speaker 2: If you don't feel like safe, then that's you need 1538 01:15:04,520 --> 01:15:07,120 Speaker 2: to give some security to other people and let them 1539 01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:08,040 Speaker 2: know they're safe around. 1540 01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:10,639 Speaker 1: Whatever you're missing in life, that's what you have to give. 1541 01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:14,639 Speaker 3: That's why it's not luck, right. I don't I don't 1542 01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:17,760 Speaker 3: believe that somebody can be that unlucky. Things are going 1543 01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:20,639 Speaker 3: to happen to all of us. But it's a that's 1544 01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:24,479 Speaker 3: AH tells you a lot about how somebody thinks and 1545 01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:27,840 Speaker 3: how they approach their life. If they're thinking, oh I'm 1546 01:15:27,880 --> 01:15:32,519 Speaker 3: so unlucky, poor me, boohoo, you know, I just I'm 1547 01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:37,280 Speaker 3: not buying it. You can create whether it's you're you're 1548 01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:40,080 Speaker 3: choosing to put the right energy out there, you can 1549 01:15:40,080 --> 01:15:42,920 Speaker 3: also create your your destiny. 1550 01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:45,080 Speaker 1: And it's how you look at the things that are happening. 1551 01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:46,800 Speaker 1: You focus on the make you learn from it. 1552 01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:49,519 Speaker 3: Do you grow from it or do you walk around 1553 01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:53,960 Speaker 3: like schlibrock you know, yeah, just. 1554 01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:56,400 Speaker 1: On work and forward always. You just have to keep 1555 01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:59,320 Speaker 1: going and you compartmentalize and that I've been told as 1556 01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:03,280 Speaker 1: a guy thing in the way we just compartmentalize certain things, 1557 01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:05,519 Speaker 1: which was what I alluded to earlier. And it was 1558 01:16:05,560 --> 01:16:08,479 Speaker 1: all jokes, by the way, just jokes people. But that 1559 01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:13,479 Speaker 1: being said, though you do tend to get what you 1560 01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:17,360 Speaker 1: put out there oftentimes. But being forward thinking and positive 1561 01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:19,080 Speaker 1: and in the way you carry yourself. I mean, if 1562 01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:20,960 Speaker 1: you carry yourself like a schlump in your or whatever, 1563 01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:23,639 Speaker 1: then you show up with your waffle shirt and hanging 1564 01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:25,479 Speaker 1: out on a date, you know, and you know, I 1565 01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:27,439 Speaker 1: don't really drink, but I'm gonna drink off with you 1566 01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:29,080 Speaker 1: or whatever. I haven't drunk it a long time, but 1567 01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:32,000 Speaker 1: things go sideways. Dude, what are you doing? You know, 1568 01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:34,120 Speaker 1: Get a hold yourself, be strong, be who you are, 1569 01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:35,800 Speaker 1: and if they don't like you for it's tough, it's 1570 01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:38,160 Speaker 1: their loss. At least that's the way I approach it. 1571 01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:39,120 Speaker 1: At least that's my game. 1572 01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:39,360 Speaker 2: Phase. 1573 01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:41,720 Speaker 1: Then I drive home and drink. I'm just joking. I'm 1574 01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:42,479 Speaker 1: just joking, you know what. 1575 01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:45,360 Speaker 2: And I want to ask you guys this question.

But no, I mean 1636 01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:07,240 Speaker 1: you want that that what you just described is ideal. 1637 01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:11,519 Speaker 2: How important are looks at our age? You know, we're 1638 01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:15,040 Speaker 2: all in the mid mid fifties, right, but I mean, 1639 01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:19,559 Speaker 2: you know it's we all age hopefully gracefully and things 1640 01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:22,160 Speaker 2: like that. When I was younger, looks kind of mattered 1641 01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:24,120 Speaker 2: more than they do now to me. I mean, I 1642 01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:27,880 Speaker 2: really feel like, how does this person live their life? 1643 01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:32,000 Speaker 2: And are they kind to people? And are they you know, honest? 1644 01:20:32,120 --> 01:20:36,520 Speaker 2: And you know, how long have they worked hard for themselves? 1645 01:20:36,520 --> 01:20:39,639 Speaker 2: I mean, how how have they done with this portion 1646 01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:43,000 Speaker 2: of their life in their mid fifties. That's appealing and 1647 01:20:43,080 --> 01:20:46,840 Speaker 2: attractive to me, right, I mean everyone makes mistakes, people 1648 01:20:46,840 --> 01:20:50,439 Speaker 2: get divorced, people have you know, you know, bad bad 1649 01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:55,080 Speaker 2: you know jobs, and you know kind of everybody exactly. 1650 01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:57,400 Speaker 2: Nobody is ever going to be perfect in that, but 1651 01:20:57,520 --> 01:21:00,640 Speaker 2: how you handle it, how you come back. That's like 1652 01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:03,080 Speaker 2: that's more important to me than looks in these days. 1653 01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:06,559 Speaker 3: Lisa, Yeah, yeah, So actually that was gonna be one 1654 01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:09,439 Speaker 3: of my questions, is like, in a in a roundabout way, 1655 01:21:09,640 --> 01:21:11,600 Speaker 3: was like, what do you find is the most attractive 1656 01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:14,200 Speaker 3: quality in someone? And try to leave this on a 1657 01:21:14,240 --> 01:21:16,960 Speaker 3: good note rather than talking about the unlucky guy out 1658 01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:22,000 Speaker 3: there and the guy in the waffle shirt. Yeah, it's 1659 01:21:22,920 --> 01:21:26,360 Speaker 3: it is, I would say, on top. 1660 01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:27,360 Speaker 1: Of what you just mentioned. 1661 01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:30,799 Speaker 3: For me, it's somebody that has a sense of humor, 1662 01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:36,400 Speaker 3: doesn't take themselves too seriously. And everybody, every girl likes 1663 01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:42,400 Speaker 3: somebody that's funny, you know. But I think the way 1664 01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:44,479 Speaker 3: that they show up for you, I keep coming back 1665 01:21:44,479 --> 01:21:46,559 Speaker 3: to that, that's gonna They're gonna have all those other 1666 01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:51,920 Speaker 3: things going for them, so appearance, you know, care about 1667 01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:55,680 Speaker 3: what you look like? Now, yeah, but you know what 1668 01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:58,200 Speaker 3: I've always I've always picked someone that I was just 1669 01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:03,360 Speaker 3: attracted to, Like you couldn't go down the line and say, oh, 1670 01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:04,360 Speaker 3: that's Lisa's guy. 1671 01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:07,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, is you don't have a look? 1672 01:22:07,560 --> 01:22:12,720 Speaker 3: No, No, it's there's just an attraction there. And generally 1673 01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:14,599 Speaker 3: there's going to be They are going to be kind, 1674 01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:17,280 Speaker 3: they're going to have a sense of humor, they're going 1675 01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:20,439 Speaker 3: to probably have the same kind of drive in life. 1676 01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:24,040 Speaker 3: I want them to have aspirations. I want them to 1677 01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:27,160 Speaker 3: be confident in themselves. And going back to that, I 1678 01:22:27,200 --> 01:22:35,320 Speaker 3: think if someone doesn't like someone that's confident to your point, Nate, 1679 01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:37,600 Speaker 3: and I know this is the younger generation, but to me, 1680 01:22:38,040 --> 01:22:41,519 Speaker 3: it's more a reflection on that person. They don't have 1681 01:22:41,560 --> 01:22:44,800 Speaker 3: the confidence. If you don't like someone that has confidence, 1682 01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:47,080 Speaker 3: then you're probably not a confident person. 1683 01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:48,439 Speaker 1: You're lacking something. Yeah. 1684 01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:51,280 Speaker 3: I want to hear someone be able to say something 1685 01:22:51,400 --> 01:22:52,480 Speaker 3: nice about themselves. 1686 01:22:52,720 --> 01:22:54,599 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's a big deal. 1687 01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:59,880 Speaker 2: Do you guys agree with Lisa that humor is important 1688 01:23:00,160 --> 01:23:02,400 Speaker 2: and to find attractive? 1689 01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:06,439 Speaker 1: Is humor a big thing? I think initially, unless you 1690 01:23:06,479 --> 01:23:09,040 Speaker 1: get to know someone only by speaking to them without 1691 01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:12,240 Speaker 1: seeing them, it's and it may change over time. The 1692 01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:16,240 Speaker 1: first is the visual, the attraction issue, the physical, and 1693 01:23:16,280 --> 01:23:19,040 Speaker 1: then the other stuff. Over time, your opinion of that 1694 01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:22,120 Speaker 1: person may change. They may be drop dead gorgeous, but 1695 01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:26,760 Speaker 1: they're not an attractive personality, or their behaviors make them 1696 01:23:26,840 --> 01:23:29,400 Speaker 1: less than attractive. The other side, you know, they might 1697 01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:33,599 Speaker 1: go not necessarily exactly my wheelhouse, but all these other 1698 01:23:33,680 --> 01:23:36,800 Speaker 1: things that she has going on makes her super attractive, 1699 01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:40,640 Speaker 1: her confidence or humor, her attitude, whatever else it is, 1700 01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:44,200 Speaker 1: busting chops whatever that. You know, you're into her strengths 1701 01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:47,840 Speaker 1: in other ways. It changes over time. What do you 1702 01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:50,080 Speaker 1: say to that. I think you're spot on. 1703 01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:53,440 Speaker 4: I think humor is a big part of my relationship 1704 01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:56,599 Speaker 4: with Jamie, And you know, we we have a very 1705 01:23:56,640 --> 01:24:02,720 Speaker 4: similar demented dark and we like each other laugh while 1706 01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:04,679 Speaker 4: other people are looking at us like, what is wrong. 1707 01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:08,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, Jamie could be making a fool of herself, and 1708 01:24:08,479 --> 01:24:10,960 Speaker 3: He's like, look at her, that's my wife. 1709 01:24:11,080 --> 01:24:15,559 Speaker 1: That's my girl. That's excellent, splits on the dance floor ating, 1710 01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:17,080 Speaker 1: that's my girl times. 1711 01:24:17,439 --> 01:24:21,200 Speaker 2: That is adoration right there, that is that's my girl 1712 01:24:21,800 --> 01:24:23,960 Speaker 2: right there. Everyone else can look at her and think 1713 01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:26,760 Speaker 2: she's silly, and this is what I love about her. 1714 01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:29,200 Speaker 2: That is a great way to ask us what you want.

We'll see. The Ravens are always tough, 1733 01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:17,000 Speaker 1: but they're not that great this year either. The AFC 1734 01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:19,519 Speaker 1: North wide open, so even with them now with a 1735 01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:22,320 Speaker 1: little bit of luck, but it's going to be cold. 1736 01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:24,840 Speaker 2: It's going to be cold, and Bengals are going to win. 1737 01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:26,000 Speaker 2: I'm going to say it right there. 1738 01:25:26,080 --> 01:25:29,240 Speaker 1: James repene locked on Bengals Cincinnati Bengals Talk on YouTube, 1739 01:25:29,320 --> 01:25:31,280 Speaker 1: joining us from a conversation earlier. 1740 01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:34,400 Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Thank you guys so much.
