1
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: All right, here we go again. January two, twenty twenty six.

2
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: Some people working today. I think most people that took

3
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: the day or the time off Christmas week, they're not

4
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: back at work. Look who I'm filling in for. But

5
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: I think most people that took the Christmas week off,

6
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: I think they're off today. It's nice, long break. It's good.

7
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: You got three days left of that and then it's

8
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: back to absolute hell. But listen, you'll worry about Monday

9
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: when Monday rolls around, right. I mean, if you plan

10
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: too far and ahead to get too worried about what

11
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: is on the horizon, you miss the beauty of the

12
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: sunrise or the sun set, or whatever it may be.

13
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: As a wise man once said, great to be with you.

14
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: It's the average American in for the great American right here.

15
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: Until you see football this afternoon, you see the Liberty

16
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: Bowl against Navy. This is going to be, as they

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: say it, tough out for UC. UC doesn't have its

18
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: top quarterback. Brendan Soresby is in the transfer portal, which

19
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: by the way, open today. This whole nil thing is

20
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: just turned college football in college basketball on its head.

21
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: You're rooting for uniforms. Now you realize that it's the

22
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: old Seinfeld joke. You're literally each year you're not rooting

23
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: for players, you're rooting for uniforms because the players they

24
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: come and they go. But anyway, the Liberty Bowl is

25
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: coming up three thirty airtime today, and that'll be Dan

26
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: Horde and Tony Pike and I believe Moeggar is down

27
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: there too in Memphis. All of that on our horizon. Look,

28
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: the one thing I think we all want to be

29
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six is better than what we were

30
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. I think, both as people in

31
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: our personal life and our family life, at our job.

32
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it'd be pretty sad if you didn't want

33
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: to be better than you were last year in any

34
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: of those things. I also think we all want to

35
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: be better off financially at twenty twenty six than what

36
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: we were in twenty twenty five. But that requires a

37
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: little bit of work, not a lot of work, a

38
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: little bit of work. And if you work at it

39
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: coupled with what should be coming this year with tax cuts,

40
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: it could be that way. So you're saying, well, okay,

41
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: little bit of work, a little bit, what's the work here? Well,

42
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: the work is strengthening your safety net. Look for other

43
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 1: income opportunities and listen to Mark Hamrick from bankrate dot com.

44
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: He is their chief financial analyst. This is a guy

45
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: who's been around for a while. In fact, at one

46
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: point he ran the business news operation for the Associated

47
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: Press in Washington, DC. Did that for twenty years, past

48
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: president of the National Press Club in Washington, DC. And

49
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: the survey is out for twenty twenty six, and this

50
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: survey from bank rate says one in three, about thirty

51
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: four percent of us say we believe our personal finances

52
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: will get better in twenty twenty six. Eleven percent of

53
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: us believe it will significantly get better. Now. That's down

54
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: from where it was in twenty twenty four. Younger generation

55
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: more optimistic. Why not, they have more opportunity at their feet.

56
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: Among those who believe their personal finances will get better

57
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six, the top reason is rising income,

58
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: followed by better spending habits. So what else can we do?

59
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: The aforementioned Mark Hamricks standing by it, and I want

60
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: to get him on today because it all starts, well,

61
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: it started yesterday, but it all starts really from a

62
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: business standpoint, this coming Monday, Mark how are you on

63
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: this glorious day after New Year's Day?

64
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: Ken, There's no one I'd rather be able to speak with,

65
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: and that's such a great opportunity.

66
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: I appreciate your kindness very much.

67
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: Well, I'm looking at this survey and it's on a

68
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: number of levels. It's encouraging. On a number of levels,

69
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: it's not. I guess the discouraging part is that only

70
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: one in three of us a little more than that,

71
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: believe that our personal finances will get better in twenty

72
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: twenty six. And it cuts across political lines, as most

73
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: of these things do. But if you're a Democrat, you're

74
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: not so optimistic. If you're a Republican, you're a little

75
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: more optimistic, and if you're younger, you're a little more optimistic.

76
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: So I suppose there is the good and the bad,

77
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: I guess is the way I would put it. Right.

78
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: Well, it's America, right, I mean, that's number one. And

79
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: we talk all the time about the economy which favors

80
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 2: the wealthy here so called K shaped economy. People who

81
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 2: own their home, people who are invested in the stock market,

82
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 2: and they are just building further financial momentum that of

83
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 2: course existing within the result of inflation, which is affordability

84
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 2: challenges which have really, in a sense unfairly claim casualties

85
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 2: among middle income and lower income Americans. So you've basically

86
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 2: got something for everybody in the economy, and you've got

87
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: something or not for everybody, as it's seeing in this

88
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: in this survey. But I would say ken, and this

89
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: isn't undermine the survey because I love the survey.

90
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 3: I run this survey every year.

91
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 2: Is that it is somewhat backward looking, meaning that people

92
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: were reflecting on their recent experience with their personal finances

93
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: and the economy, and none of us really know what

94
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 2: the year will bring and then and that's part of

95
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: the risk and opportunity. So if things turn out for

96
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: the better, then maybe people will be more even more optimistic,

97
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 2: and we run this a year from now, and if

98
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 2: it's not, then you know that'll be the consequence as well.

99
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: Well. I guess the current inflation rate is three point

100
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: one percent, and that's up a little bit from where

101
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: it was last month, but the fact of the matter

102
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: is it's down significantly from where it was in the

103
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: summer of twenty twenty two. So I don't know, do

104
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: you think Americans are still paralyzed by that, or do

105
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: you think they're actually feeling And I know this is

106
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: your opinion, it's not necessarily as whole, but do you

107
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: think they're actually feeling that when they go to shop,

108
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: either for groceries or for something during the holiday season?

109
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: What do you think?

110
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, they tell us that that is

111
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: the case.

112
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 2: When those who expressed the pessimistic point of view or

113
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 2: ask why is your outlook for worse personal finances? Number

114
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: one was continued high inflation, interestingly enough, in a very

115
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 2: political environment, and this, of course a national survey where

116
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:48,559
Speaker 2: we have politically polarized views. Four out of ten said

117
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: they're pessimistic because of quote the work by elected officials,

118
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 2: and you know, I would paraphrase that to say, perhaps

119
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: the lack of work by elected officials as well, but

120
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 2: you know, can Here's an important distinction with respect to

121
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: your question, and that is, I know you are a

122
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: very well informed individual, and your questions are always the

123
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 2: best that I get in the many media interviews that

124
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 2: I do. Most Americans don't look at the rate of inflation.

125
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 2: They look at their lived experience with affordability issues, and

126
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 2: that's why they go off when they see something that

127
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 2: like eggs have gone from two today dollars a dozen,

128
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: even though that's not going to have particularly massive consequence

129
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: on their personal finances, and more recently spent things like coffee,

130
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 2: you know.

131
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: The drill.

132
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: So the reality is it's about affordability. Inflation is something

133
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 2: that creates affordability challenges or not. And so you know,

134
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: a three percent annual increase of inflation means you've gone

135
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 2: up a couple of more stare steps with the price

136
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: changes that have occurred roughly twenty five percent since early

137
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 2: two thousand and twenty, I should.

138
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: Say, yeah, and you're right. It is more of an

139
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: experience than it is in number. I think it's it's

140
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: always been that way. The number seems to exist for

141
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: political purposes, and the experience exists for the rest of us.

142
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: The good in this report that I saw is that

143
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: four and five of us, in fact, it comes to

144
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: eighty five percent have financial goals for twenty twenty six,

145
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: and of those four and five of us, the main

146
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: financial goal is to create is to create an environment

147
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: for themselves where they pay down debt and have more

148
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: control of spending. Look, the government might not have more

149
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: control of its spending it's incumbent upon us to have

150
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: it because the banks aren't exactly as forgiving for us

151
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: as they might be for the government. So this is good.

152
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: I think that people understand you can't live the rest

153
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: of your life in debt, or you're just going to

154
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: live the rest of your life in squalors. So I

155
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 1: think that's that's something I think I take out of

156
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: this that's really really positive, And.

157
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 2: It's also meaningful, Ken, in the sense of, you know,

158
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 2: if we were to start our financial lives as you

159
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 2: and I young men again, that certainly would be something

160
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 2: that I would have tried to correct my earlier behavior with.

161
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 2: But I also note the second part of the goals

162
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 2: in ranking here, which is fourteen percent of Americans say

163
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: they want to get a higher paying job or additional income.

164
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 2: And you know, we just had a job report. It

165
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 2: was relatively lackluster, the unemployment rate at the highest level

166
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 2: in four years, but still at historically a low level.

167
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 2: And Ken, I'm sure you see, as I do almost

168
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 2: every day, just how enterprising people are in this economy,

169
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 2: many of whom are people who've come to the United

170
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 2: States for the opportunity to work and perhaps escape some

171
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: horrible things, or at least less than optimal things in

172
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 2: their home country. Point is that there is opportunity out there.

173
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 2: It may not be you know, a slam dunk, to

174
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 2: use a sports analogy with respect to employment, but so

175
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 2: many people take advantage, for example, of the gig economy,

176
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 2: or we've had surveys in the past that told us

177
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 2: that the youngest of Americans a pretty fair percentage want

178
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: to start their own companies.

179
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 3: So there is opportunity out there.

180
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 2: And sometimes I think I might be part of the

181
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: problem in the sense that we talk so nuanced about

182
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 2: the way the economy is changing, and the reality is that,

183
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 2: you know, we can to some degree create our own

184
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 2: reality out there through enterprise and hard work.

185
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 1: You know, you raise an interesting scenario. If I went

186
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: back and talked to my thirty five year old self,

187
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: it would be a rather lengthy conversation in it. But

188
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: if there's one thing that you could go back and

189
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 1: talk to your thirty five your old self with regards

190
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: to finances, what would it be?

191
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: You know, probably three things, Ken, and I'll just sort

192
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 2: of level set the ground a little bit. Is that

193
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 2: I came from a very much working class family where

194
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 2: money was not discussed at all. If anything, it was

195
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 2: discussed in the context of a situation that wasn't going

196
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 2: particularly well for my parents, and so I had to

197
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: learn everything essentially on my own and through experience, and

198
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 2: then other than great opportunity to do the work I

199
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 2: do these days.

200
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 3: But again, three things.

201
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 2: Number One, I did have a job when I was

202
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 2: fifteen in radio, by the way, in coffee Bill, Kansas,

203
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 2: not far from where you worked once in Tulsa, and.

204
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 3: So I did have income.

205
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: I should have done a better job of putting that

206
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 2: income to work through investing in saving.

207
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 3: That's number one.

208
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 2: And if I had saved in the equivalent of an

209
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 2: S and P mutual fund back then, i'd.

210
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 3: Be talking to you from a yacht right now. That's

211
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 3: number one.

212
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 2: Secondly, I would have been more diligent about managing debt

213
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 2: because I did not do a good job.

214
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,479
Speaker 3: With that when I was early in my career.

215
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: And making let's say sub are incomes and broadcasting that

216
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: both people are familiar with that scenario. But I would

217
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 2: say those are the two major things I've been very

218
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 2: blessed with my career. But the payoff for that was

219
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: a little long in coming.

220
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it is it's it's interesting. I mean, that's

221
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: that's that's an interesting dynamic if and it's an interesting

222
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: thing to sit down and think about. At some point,

223
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: what would you what would you say to yourself? So

224
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: maybe you're at a different destination in life. Mark Comrick

225
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 1: is our guest. He joined bank Grade twelve years ago,

226
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: twenty thirteen. He is the guy at bank Rate and

227
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: it'd worked for many, many years. He mentioned he worked

228
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: in radio, also was business news for Associated Press Broadcasts

229
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: for two decades and past president of the National Press Club.

230
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: We keep hearing, and I want to just crystal ball

231
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six a little bit. We keep hearing from

232
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: the administration, the Trump administration, Scott Best in particular, that

233
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: it is going to be a robust twenty twenty six.

234
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: You just wait and see what happens. All of this stuff,

235
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: the tariffs is going to pay off. Often. We might

236
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: even be getting two thousand dollars checks each of us

237
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: from the president. And I'm thinking to myself, well, yeah,

238
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: I guess that could happen. But a lot of times

239
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: in politics it's paid no attention to the man behind

240
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: the curtain. You know. It's I just don't I just

241
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: don't know where we're going, and I'm not sure anybody does.

242
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: But if you had to pick between encouraged or discouraged,

243
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: what would it be.

244
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 3: I just wrote a piece about this for LinkedIn that'll

245
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 3: show up later this year.

246
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 2: The Federal Reserve in its meeting recently actually upgraded the

247
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: AULA for twenty twenty six. And among the reasons is that,

248
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 2: for example, the tax bill will take effect and whether

249
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 2: you love hate or somewhere in between, the so called

250
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 2: one Big Beautiful Bill, it is a tax cut and

251
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 2: there's going to be more money going into American's bank

252
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 2: accounts because of income tax refunds. That's going to prove,

253
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 2: that's going to provide some tail winds pushing the economy

254
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 2: forward early in the year. I obviously can you know

255
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: me well enough that I don't align myself with any

256
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 2: politician that's that would be foolish.

257
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: But well there's that.

258
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 2: But you know, their primary motive is to employ rhetoric

259
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 2: toward a political end, and it's our job, and I

260
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 2: think we both do it with trust, is to try

261
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: to see through that. And so I'm telling you that

262
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: based on everything I can see and you know the facts,

263
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 2: I think there are reasons to be optimistic for twenty

264
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: twenty six.

265
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 3: Are there risks?

266
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: There?

267
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 3: Sure are If.

268
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 2: We think about the things that really hindered the economy

269
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five, Two of the three were self

270
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 2: inflicted tariffs, the federal government shut down, and persistent inflation.

271
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 2: I think inflation probably should be alleviated somewhat in twenty

272
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 2: twenty six, But geopolitically, I'm very worried because the world

273
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 2: is an unsafe place right now.

274
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 3: If just one thing sort of.

275
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 2: Unraveled and you name, you know, you name the location,

276
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 2: much the same as Russia's invasion of Ukraine created another

277
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 2: leg up for inflation, that could really be the one

278
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: thing that knocks us out of Kilder. But those things

279
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: always exist in the sense of a risk. So I'm

280
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 2: sort of looking to measure the things I can measure,

281
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 2: and I think between the pig is moving through the

282
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 2: python and the sense of one time price adjustments with

283
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 2: tariffs that should further level out in the coming year,

284
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 2: And so I'm hoping we get better news with less inflation,

285
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 2: that we have more affordability out there. For Americans, they

286
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 2: get the benefit of the tax cut and perhaps the

287
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 2: worst of the job market woes will be behind us.

288
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 2: And also we also get a bit of a push

289
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 2: early in the year because if they can avoid another

290
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 2: federal government shutdown at the end of January, then we

291
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: should be able to restore some, not all, the lost

292
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 2: economic activity that was caused by that unnecessary event.

293
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: The pig is moving through the python. Well that'll be

294
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: in my few days. Yes, indeed, Mark Hambrick, Happy new

295
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: year for you and for your family. A robust twenty

296
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: twenty six and we will visit down the road. Thank you.

297
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: The same to you, my friend, Thanks so much. I

298
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 2: appreciate it him. They'll look forward to speaking with you

299
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 2: again in the new year.

300
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, Yes, sir, Mark Hamrick Bankgreat dot Com. Of

301
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: those who believe their personal finances will not improve next year,

302
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: the top reason by a wide margin is continued high inflation.

303
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: Well this was done then, the I guess the survey

304
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: was done prior to the inflation numbers coming out for

305
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: the month of November. I mean, it's inflation is coming out.

306
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: The problem is Trump said he was going to lower inflation,

307
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: and in essence he has. But inflation is a compounded number.

308
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: So when you hear well, inflation is at two point

309
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: nine percent. Yeah, well that's two point nine percent on

310
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: top of where it was the year before. And if

311
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: you go back to the bad old days of Biden

312
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: when inflation was it nine percent, that was nine percent

313
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: above where it was the year before. So it's shipping

314
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: away at This is not anything that's going to happen overnight,

315
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: but the indicators are. It's it's coming down, interest rates

316
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 1: coming down. The Fed is going to have a new

317
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 1: leader after May. I guess of this year. Jerome Palace

318
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: has been very reticent to lower the prime He's been

319
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: doing it in twenty five about a quarter percent is

320
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: what he's been doing it. He's very proditious on that.

321
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: And it's not going to effect the cost of a

322
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: house or the mortgage of a house directly, but it

323
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: will have an effect on it. So these are the

324
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 1: things hopefully that it will jump start this thing and

325
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: get it back on the track again. I think it is.

326
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: You look at energy rates. Energy rates are back on

327
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: the track. Diesel fuel is coming down. That's what powers

328
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: this country. It gets product from point to point B.

329
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,880
Speaker 1: But it's not going to happen overnight. So mixed bag

330
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: here on the bankrate dot Com analysis for twenty twenty six.

331
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: It's probably be a good thing to hang on to

332
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: and see where we are in a year. Right, We're

333
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: going to file it right there, coming up on twelve,

334
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 1: twenty six, it's the Average American in for the Great

335
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: American News Radio seven hundred WLW. I don't know about

336
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: the boys this summer, but what about now, I could

337
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: use one of those heat waves this summer. Welcome back

338
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: the Average American in for the Great American on this

339
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: January second, twenty twenty six. Great to w with us.

340
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: We have used football this afternoon, Yes one more time.

341
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: Those who have remained in uniform are going to play

342
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,959
Speaker 1: today for the University of Cincinnati. It's I mean, it's not.

343
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: Some of these teams that show up for bowl games.

344
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: They're a shadow of what they were in the regular season,

345
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: and some are not. Some have their full go and

346
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: that's exactly what Navy has today. The team that you

347
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: see will face. Of course, in the Naval Academy, there

348
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: is no such thing as the portal. The portal probably

349
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: gets you on a boat. No Navy, there is no

350
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: such thing as that you are in one of the

351
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: major institutions military institutions and you go on and serve

352
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: this country in uniform, so their entire football team will

353
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: be there today. It's a football team that runs the ball, run,

354
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: They run an option offense, very difficult to defend, and

355
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: they have a quarterback that runs it marvelously. And you see,

356
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 1: of course, doesn't have its quarterback. Brendan Sorosby is in

357
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: the portal going to somewhere as you have to be determined,

358
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: as are several other players. Several players just sitting it

359
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: out getting ready for the NFL Draft or the Senior

360
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 1: Bowl or whatever. But we will have all the play

361
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: by play for you beginning at three. I'm here to

362
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: three thirty to help you get ready for that and

363
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: very happy about it. We talk a lot about what

364
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six will bring. We were talking about financial prosperity,

365
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: and we're talking about health and all of that. One

366
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: thing I hope it brings is a more appreciation, a

367
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: better appreciation for employees. I just think that there is

368
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: a pervasive attitude throughout business in this country that the

369
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,679
Speaker 1: smartest people are the people that run it, and the

370
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: rest of the people that work there are just worker

371
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: bees to get the job done. All of these corporate

372
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: all of these corporate giants, all of these c suite managers.

373
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: They yap about culture, but in the final analysis, there

374
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: is no culture except get the job done. And then

375
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: when they don't need you anymore, what do they do? Audios?

376
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: Don't let the door hit you where the good lord splitcher.

377
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: And it's even worse now because there is a tendency

378
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: among big companies like Amazon among others, to fire or

379
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: let go of employees remotely by zoom or some other things.

380
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it has happened with US. I mentioned Amazon,

381
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: some online companies, US mortgage Company for example, Better dot

382
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: Com fired nine hundred workers over zoom this past year. Carvana.

383
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: You hear a lot about Carvana. They let twenty five

384
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: hundred workers go in the same way. And it seems

385
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: to me, if you're going to hire somebody and the

386
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: hiring is a personal process, then why shouldn't the termination

387
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: be a personal process. It was a movie made about that,

388
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: I think years ago. We'll find out now from somebody

389
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 1: who believes that remote firings are just not a good thing.

390
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: He is John Bowerman. John Bowerman is the chief operating

391
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 1: officer of Stealth consulting, which works with companies to try

392
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: and make them better. That's what consultants. And one of

393
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: the ways you make companies better is to better appreciate

394
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: the people that actually do the work for you. And

395
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to get John on today to talk about

396
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 1: this because this is a trend that's disturbing. I don't know,

397
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 1: we seem to be a more distant society. We seem

398
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: to be a society that would rather text each other

399
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: than talk to each other. But I wanted to get

400
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: his thoughts on this because he has a company that

401
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: addresses this kind of thing, and so he was kind

402
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: enough to carve out some of his time today to

403
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: join us for a few minutes. And John Bauerman, how

404
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: are you in this glorious January the second?

405
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 4: Hey, good afternoon, Ken, I'm doing good.

406
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad you're with us here. Look, I'm sure

407
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: you saw the movie back in two thousand and nine,

408
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 1: right up in the air. George Clooney was in it,

409
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 1: and it was a movie built around this same topic

410
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: where companies just virtually fire employees. They don't do it

411
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: face to face. They do it either by a conference

412
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: call or whatever it may be. When did we get

413
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: to be so impersonal about telling somebody that their services

414
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 1: are no longer needed.

415
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 4: I know, as soon as we tipped over the edge.

416
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 5: Of describing easy as efficiency, unfortunately, you know, unfortunately had

417
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 5: to let go several hundred people, and over the course

418
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 5: of a few decades there's several different companies, and in

419
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 5: each one still I believe that you have to show

420
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 5: up and treat people as human and even if that

421
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 5: process only takes sixty to ninety seconds, you still owe

422
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,120
Speaker 5: it to the people at your company.

423
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: Easy as opposed to efficiency. Sometimes easy is efficient, as

424
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 1: you well know, but this seems like the coward's way

425
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: out to do this. You're right, these are people that

426
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: have real lives and real people depending on them, and

427
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: the network that goes out from those other people extends

428
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: au infinitems. So I'm just easy can be efficient delineate

429
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: the two of you.

430
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 5: Could for us, absolutely, And it's also very short sighted

431
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 5: because in the short term it feels like, well, okay,

432
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 5: we're going to be able to virtually eliminate even if

433
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 5: it was one hundred positions, and instead of having to

434
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 5: have ten minute phone call set up, we're just going

435
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 5: to send it out in mass, And what's really shortsighted

436
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 5: about that is two things.

437
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 4: One is your reputation.

438
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 5: So if you are if someone has a great experience,

439
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 5: they're going to tell one other person, if they have

440
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,959
Speaker 5: an awful experience, they're going to tell one hundred. So

441
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 5: you're looking at just what is this, how is this

442
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 5: going to affect one hundred people, and not thinking about

443
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 5: how's this going to affect one hundred times one hundred people?

444
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 5: Is one and two what you're doing is also opening

445
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 5: up the door for very costly problems. So people we

446
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 5: look at technology today as it never goes wrong. I've

447
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 5: seen it at numerous times, especially in these kind of

448
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 5: circumstances where the wrong people get on the list, and

449
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 5: now all of a sudden is you're opening yourself up

450
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 5: to potentially losing great people that you never intended to

451
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 5: in the first place, all in the name of efficiency.

452
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 4: That doesn't happen.

453
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 3: When you're showing up in person.

454
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: How prevalent is this? This virtual these virtual firings or layoffs.

455
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: I mean I'm reading where Amazon laid off like fourteen

456
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 1: thousand employees last month, and some learned of their faith

457
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: by a text message telling them to consult their inboxes,

458
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: which is pretty dang to cold. But I'm just are

459
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: more companies than not doing this? And I would guess

460
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: it would be larger companies. It would be hard. I

461
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: would think for somebody that has maybe one hundred employees

462
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: to do this, I mean they could, but it certainly

463
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: would want ramp it through that company and probably lead

464
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: to a lot of other people leaving on their own.

465
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: But these bigger companies, how how how prevalent is this,

466
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 1: these these virtual firings in virtual layoffs.

467
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 5: Typically you only see this in large enterprises. I think

468
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 5: in your in your medium mediums, a small business, you

469
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 5: would rarely uh see a virtual.

470
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 3: Layout, but.

471
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 4: You know people are. But I see that shift.

472
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 5: Happening where it will become more common occurrence the smaller

473
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 5: and smaller the company. And here's the excuse that's being

474
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 5: put out there is that.

475
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 3: Well, this is what the next generation prefers.

476
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 5: The next generation would prefer not to have a phone call,

477
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 5: would prefer not to be on camera, and so that

478
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 5: represents the justification. All we're doing is giving the people

479
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 5: what they prefer, and that is a you know, unfortunately,

480
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 5: is a really misguided excuse, because no one prefers that

481
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 5: one of the most pivotal moments in their in their life, uh,

482
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 5: to not be treated uh is that is if they matter.

483
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 4: And it should.

484
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 5: It should correlate with the expectation that they've had every day.

485
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 5: And maybe they've been there for a year or two

486
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 5: years and they've been expected to show up every day

487
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 5: in this one very uh uh pivotal moment, you know,

488
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 5: you need to be able to show up for them.

489
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 6: Yeah.

490
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: It's a it's a chicken crap way to end unemployment,

491
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: it really is. I mean, it just shows. So it's gutless,

492
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: is what it is. And if you don't want that

493
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: cease week position, then don't take the difficult things that

494
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: come along with it. And the difficult things aren't always

495
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: keeping the investors or the board or whatever happy. We

496
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 1: have become a less personal society since the invention of

497
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 1: personal technology, whether it be Twitter, whether it be emails,

498
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: whether it be i Ams, whatever it may be. And

499
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: the younger as we become younger in the corner suite,

500
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 1: we become populated in that corner suite and therefore in

501
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 1: middle management with younger people who grew up on two

502
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty characters as opposed to face to face meetings,

503
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: for using a phone simply to text as opposed to talk.

504
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: And I'm just wondering if this isn't all a product

505
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 1: of just where we are as a society.

506
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 5: What do you think, Yeah, that's interesting because in many

507
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 5: ways it's contradictory. So we are, you know, we're past

508
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 5: the age of industrialization, We're we're living now in the

509
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 5: age of authenticity. People want authenticity more than ever. We

510
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 5: we don't want to see the stock photo. We want

511
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 5: to see what we're really going to get. You see

512
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 5: the emergence of craft versus mass production, and it's what

513
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 5: people want. They want the real thing and this and

514
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 5: while technology enables that, going virtuals on things like this

515
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 5: really goes against what people are really craving, which is

516
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 5: connection and authenticity where you know, we're more connected and

517
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 5: feel less connected more than ever.

518
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: You said something a couple of minutes ago. One of

519
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: the one of the things that you said that that

520
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: really stuck out with me is that what do you

521
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: have a bad experience, whether it's at work, whether it's

522
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: at a restaurant, department store, where it may be, if

523
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: you have a bad experience, you won't be shy about

524
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: telling other people. If you have a good experience, chances

525
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: are you're not going to tell anybody. You'll just have

526
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,239
Speaker 1: that experience, say hey, that was nice at all.

527
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 3: Leave.

528
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: If you have a company that is doing these kinds

529
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: of things, and I'm not talking about you know, the

530
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: companies that employ a million people worldwide or wherever, not

531
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: not the Amazon dot Coms of the world, but just

532
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: the companies that might have an employee base of one hundred,

533
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty two hundred people. You start doing

534
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: something like this, not only will it create the unrest

535
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: inside your company, but true to try and attract good

536
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: people to come and work or replace them, or whenever

537
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 1: you're ramping up for more business, the world will be

538
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: out on the street. It's it's kind of it's kind

539
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: of counterintuitive, is it not?

540
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 4: Absolutely?

541
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 5: And I would venture to say there's probably a lot

542
00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 5: of companies that are doing virtual layoffs, and they would

543
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 5: send you a pamphlet on their core values and it

544
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:59,239
Speaker 5: probably includes work like integrity and people first, and you know,

545
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 5: we're a family and in all of that, and then

546
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 5: you know, this is the behavior that is actually projected unbelievable.

547
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: You're with stealth consulting. You started Stealth consulting? What is that?

548
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: What are are these some of the things you consult

549
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: companies on?

550
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 5: Absolutely a past Life grew a very large digital agency

551
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 5: and we were focused on large scale growth, exited that

552
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 5: that industry and wanted to get a little more hands

553
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 5: on with companies and so Stealth was a way that

554
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:37,719
Speaker 5: we could do that to bring in fractional marketing teams

555
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 5: to companies versus trying to go out and find that unicorn,

556
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 5: uh that's going to do everything. And that's a that's

557
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 5: allowed me to get you know, real hands on with

558
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 5: multiple C suite executive teams where behavior and decisions really

559
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 5: need to start, you know, because there's a there's a

560
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 5: lot of misguided perception that well, we can expect differently

561
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 5: from the team than they can.

562
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 4: Expect of us.

563
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 5: And one of the big things we go in and

564
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 5: do is shift that perception.

565
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, can you teach management? I mean, if somebody doesn't

566
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: really have great management skills, can you really teach management

567
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 1: to anybody? Because this is what we're talking about here,

568
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: I think anyway, is how you treat employees, how you

569
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: manage those employees to get the most out of them.

570
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: So that the company becomes profitable. But I think I

571
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: think you probably would find so a lot of people

572
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: just get promoted so the company doesn't lose someone they

573
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: view valuable, but yet they get promoted to a position

574
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: where they have no business being I think that happens

575
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: a lot, don't you.

576
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 5: Absolutely, And it's you know what I would what I

577
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 5: would inform people of and cover in the book not

578
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 5: lost you're just starting? Is that really everyone, even if

579
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 5: you work for a company. So there's a big misconception

580
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 5: around on spreneurship that to be an entrepreneur you have

581
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 5: to start a business. And my belief is that everyone

582
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 5: in the world should show up like an entrepreneur. And

583
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 5: what that means is that you're the CEO of yourself.

584
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 5: So Ken is the CEO of the Ken Company, and

585
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 5: even if Ken works for another company, you show up

586
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 5: as if the company you work for is one of

587
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 5: your clients. And when you look at your employer like

588
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 5: a client, then you know that guess what I could

589
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 5: that client I could lose at any time, And so

590
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 5: you're better prepared for any moment, even if it's a

591
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 5: virtual layoff that okay, I've got a backup plan and

592
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 5: I'm looking out, I'm going to negotiate on behalf of

593
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 5: myself and you just approach approach the world differently, and

594
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 5: you're in a better position.

595
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 4: To have to have to change paths.

596
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 5: And as I was considering that for my kids, was

597
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 5: that in helping coach them as to.

598
00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 3: You know, what should they go to college?

599
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 5: What what career should they pursue? In all likelihood with

600
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 5: the world that's ahead, they might have to change that

601
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 5: a dozen times and they need to be prepared for that.

602
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. Again, the book is You're not lost, You're just starting,

603
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,280
Speaker 1: and it's available on Amazon dot Com. If indeed Amazon

604
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: has enough employees to get it to you, that's true,

605
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: that's a conundrum. You've got a great book. Now. You

606
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: hope Amazon doesn't lay off as many people as they

607
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: say they're going to John Bowerman, it's it's been enlightening.

608
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: We appreciate it. Stay well. Yours is a voice that

609
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,399
Speaker 1: needs to be heard, and hopefully we can visit down

610
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 1: the road.

611
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 3: Thanks all right, appreciate you bet.

612
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, and I think I go back to

613
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: what we talked about. It leads to morale problems and

614
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: then when you try to hire someone else you know

615
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,720
Speaker 1: words out look, this is this company doesn't treat people

616
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: all that well. And look what happened to Joe or

617
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 1: Mary or whomever. They just got canned. They didn't have

618
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,919
Speaker 1: the chance to plead for their case or even get

619
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: the respect of an in person in firing. And you know,

620
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: it's something I don't get. But can I see it coming? Yes?

621
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: Can I see AI being involved? Yeah? Can I see

622
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: good companies doing it? Gosh, I hope not coming up

623
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: on twelve fifty four, it's the average American in for

624
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 1: the Great American. I like the way he said, I'm

625
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: the CEO of my own company. Now I just got

626
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:32,479
Speaker 1: to find a company. News Radio seven hundred WTLW twelve

627
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: fifty eight. News Radio seven hundred WDLW. The average American

628
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: in for the Great American. Counting down to UC football.

629
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 1: They play Navy in the Liberty Bowl. I don't know

630
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: about the whole bowl structure anymore. I mean, after the

631
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: college football Playoff, it kind of renders these other bowl

632
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 1: games relatively meaningless unless you're a huge fan of your

633
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: team or you're somebody that likes to gamble on these things.

634
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: And that's I think going to be a major point

635
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: of contention going going forward, these college football playoff games

636
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: have just been so dramatic. I mean, I watched that

637
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: game last night, Ole miss in Georgia, Trinidad. Chambliss great story,

638
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: won the national championships at the FCFS level, now at

639
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: the FBS level, even his coach taking a hike on

640
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 1: the team. Three hundred and sixty two yards and two touchdowns,

641
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 1: forty seven yard field goal, Yeah, forty seven yard field

642
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 1: goal with six seconds left, and Mississippi knocks out Georgia

643
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: thirty nine to thirty four. There are a lot of

644
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: storylines in this game. But when Kiffin left and took

645
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: a just I mean just really a what It's one

646
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,959
Speaker 1: of the things that that's wrong with athletics these days.

647
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 1: But leaves on November thirtieth. They put defensive coordinator Pete

648
00:36:55,440 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: Golding in charge, and he's been the interim guy since then,

649
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: then promoted to fill the vacancy at the top of

650
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: the staff. They asked Golding after the game, you know,

651
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 1: a lot of teams at this time of the year

652
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: are teams that you didn't project to get this far,

653
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: including yours. What is it about your team? Listen to

654
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,879
Speaker 1: what he had to say about his team, I think you're.

655
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 7: Gonna have the right guys. What I mean by that,

656
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 7: I think they gotta be tough. I think they gotta

657
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 7: be competitive. I think we gotta love football. And I

658
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 7: think you got a lot of guys on other teams

659
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 7: that don't love football. There's one thing about this group.

660
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 7: They love football. They love competing, they like practicing, they

661
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 7: like preparing, and they like playing. And I think at

662
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 7: this point in the year, you better have a group

663
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 7: of guys that still wants to play, because every time

664
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 7: you go out there and you spot the ball, you're

665
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:42,800
Speaker 7: playing for another opportunity to play.

666
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: And these guys aren't tired of playing. And it's fun

667
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: watching them that Next up, next up Miami in the

668
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: Fiesta Bowl. Miami, of course, is the team that sent

669
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: Ohio State packing. Yeah, that was the terrific weekend of

670
00:37:56,680 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: college football. It really was. And again it's you see

671
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: a Navy in the Liberty Bowl coming up at three

672
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: point thirty today, All right, coming up here, Iran is

673
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: boiling up? Is it boiling over? And would there finally,

674
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 1: after some fifty years, be regime changed there and the

675
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 1: end to what has just been a suffocating Dictatorship straight

676
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: ahead on news Radio seven hundred WLW one O seven

677
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 1: on this Friday, January the second, twenty twenty six. It's

678
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: the average American in for the great American and great

679
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 1: to have you with us as well. However you are listening,

680
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: whether it's through this great medium of terrestrial radio or

681
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 1: through the iHeartRadio app, we welcome you on. In little

682
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: college football. Note we count down to Navy and you

683
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: see in the Liberty Bowl right here till three point thirty.

684
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: That's airtime. By the way, the University of Cincinnati quarterback

685
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: I guess X quarterback. According to twenty four to seven Sports,

686
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: Brendan Soresby is set to visit Texas Tech and LSU

687
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: back to back. That is from cbssports dot com relayed

688
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: through twenty four to seven Sports. Texas Tech has been

689
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: a rumored destination for him for quite a while. LSU

690
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: is a new player, be careful what you ask for

691
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 1: down there in Baton Rouge with Lane Kiffin. But nevertheless,

692
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,240
Speaker 1: he is seeking a new home and according to twenty

693
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 1: four to seven sports portal rankings, he is the number

694
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 1: two quarterback. So there you go. Everybody knew Soresby was

695
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: going to take a hike after this season, and you know,

696
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: the money is much greater at Texas Tech. Texas Tech

697
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:05,399
Speaker 1: allegedly was the best college football nil destination. They went

698
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: out and just bought a team. It was twenty eight

699
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: million dollars. I believe that Texas Tech spent on players

700
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: this past year. Well, it got them to the playoff.

701
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: But nevertheless, Brendan Sorosby is looking like he's going to

702
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 1: be an even richer man before all of this transfer

703
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:27,280
Speaker 1: stuff is over. Iran is boiling over and I don't

704
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: know if it leads to regime change. We'll find here

705
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: in just a moment what one expert thinks. But there

706
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: is a lot going on in Iran right now. President

707
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: Trump said today that the United States is quote unquote

708
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 1: locked and loaded to respond if Iran kills protesters. Protesting

709
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,800
Speaker 1: has been happening in the streets of Iran for about

710
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: the last four or five days. It started as a

711
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 1: market protest. Those are the vendors that work the streets.

712
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:01,399
Speaker 1: The economy in Iran is crumbling. They have nothing over

713
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: there except oil. Other than dirt and oil, they got

714
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: nothing else going on over there. And when the United

715
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: States took out their nuclear facilities by and large, or

716
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: crippled them greatly, would be a better way of putting

717
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: it back In the summer, it dealt around a serious

718
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: blow to its economy that was already struggling, and now

719
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: you have unrest in the street, not just because of

720
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: the economy, but for other reasons as well, not the

721
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 1: least of which their water over there is horrible. They

722
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,879
Speaker 1: have water management problems over there. The other thing that's

723
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 1: going on over there is soaring inflation, systematic oppression, religious persecution,

724
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 1: executions if you dare say anything against the quote unquote

725
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: holy people that are in charge over there, And this

726
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: denial of basic freedom is causing unrest to build, not

727
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: just among the marketers, not just among the vendors, but

728
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 1: among the common everyday people. There have been shots that

729
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: have been fired on both sides, and Trump is saying

730
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: that if Iran shoots and violently kills peaceful protesters, which

731
00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 1: is their custom, the United States of America will come

732
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: to their rescue. Now what that means, I don't know.

733
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 1: Put that against the backdrop of Ukraine, Russia and what's

734
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: going on in Venezuela and other hotspots around the world.

735
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 1: Standing by the way, in on. This is someone who

736
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:30,360
Speaker 1: was born in Iran, grew up in Iran. He was

737
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: once the dean of College of Engineering at the University

738
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:38,800
Speaker 1: of Connecticut. He now teaches mechanical engineering at the University

739
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: of Connecticut. And he seems to be somebody that's plugged

740
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 1: in as to what is going on over there in

741
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 1: Iran right now. He is doctor Kazim Kazarunian. And doctor

742
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:55,800
Speaker 1: Kazarunian is someone who is at the very least anxious

743
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,240
Speaker 1: to see what becomes of his country that he fled

744
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: from under the oppression of the Shaw long before all

745
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 1: of this happened with Ayatola Hoomani and those that followed him. So,

746
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,399
Speaker 1: doctor Casaronian is standing by to join us right now.

747
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: And doctor, how are you on this glorious day?

748
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 4: Thank you very much.

749
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 8: I'm delighted to be with you today on this called

750
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 8: winter day.

751
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I know you're watching what's transpiring on the

752
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 1: streets of Iran, and it seems like there's great unrest.

753
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: It also seems like that the government there is cracking

754
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,400
Speaker 1: down on some of these protesters. It began from what

755
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: I can tell as a protest by shop managers because

756
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: of the economy which is predicated largely on their nuclear program.

757
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,919
Speaker 1: Their economy is in some sort of collapse over there?

758
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 1: Am I right about that?

759
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 4: You're absolutely right?

760
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, yes, what started as an economic protest has become

761
00:43:55,960 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 8: a nationwide uprising. You know that, I would use the

762
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 8: word boiling rather than simmering. It's the uprising has expand cities, universities,

763
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 8: and many marginalized provinces in Iran. The protests are the

764
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 8: professors are attacking regime symbols. They're not only asking officials.

765
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 8: They want a total regime change.

766
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 7: No.

767
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 8: Chants are very explicit now, they are political. Probably the

768
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 8: main core chant is death two dictators, death too common

769
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 8: ae and the regime. The regime has started using live ammunitions,

770
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:46,760
Speaker 8: which to me it signals that they have a fear,

771
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 8: They have an existential fear for their own survival.

772
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 1: Well, this is yes, it began as an economic uprising,

773
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 1: but I mean there there is just untold oppression that

774
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: goes on in our country. From what I'm told, you

775
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:07,280
Speaker 1: have religious persecution, executions if you question the government, basic freedoms.

776
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 1: Water is not in great supply over there, so this

777
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 1: is blossomed. It might have started as a protest among

778
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: those in business, the shop managers and whatnot who are

779
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 1: feeling the effects of an economy that is a cratering,

780
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: but also just the whole lifestyle over in Iran. I

781
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: don't know how to describe it to anyone unless they

782
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 1: have actually been there. You've been there, you were there

783
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: when the Shah was there. I'm sure you know people

784
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: who live there now and is what is it like

785
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:38,919
Speaker 1: living there?

786
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 8: So throughout my life in Iran, the first twenty first,

787
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 8: twenty first year of my life in Iran, all the

788
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 8: time through my years as a university is student in Iran,

789
00:45:56,680 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 8: My family and I lived on their fear under show.

790
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 8: In many ways, hominy and the current regime that we

791
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 8: have is the result of the suppression and of shorts

792
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 8: regime Show created Slovak. There were so many instances that

793
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:21,440
Speaker 8: I was in the class in the university and the

794
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 8: Slovak police shows. Security police came into the class, took

795
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 8: some students away because you know they have read the

796
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 8: wrong article, or.

797
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 4: They have.

798
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 8: Where they were carrying the wrong paper or the wrong

799
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:39,320
Speaker 8: book and you would never see or hear of those

800
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 8: people again.

801
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 4: And that type of suppression.

802
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 8: That to a fundamentalist regime like Homeni, which has become

803
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 8: a threat to to to Iran.

804
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 4: So it has always been whether.

805
00:46:54,920 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 8: Before nineteen seventy nine revolution or after, it has all

806
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 8: always been a dictatorship as long as I know, probably

807
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,919
Speaker 8: for the past one hundred years. And on the other

808
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 8: side of the coin is that people have for the

809
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 8: past century Iranian people have struggled for freedom. Iranian people

810
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 8: and their rich is very clear. They want democracy, They

811
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:25,320
Speaker 8: want the secular government, they want a republic form of government.

812
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 8: They don't want crown, they don't want turbine, they don't

813
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 8: want a religious dictatorship, they don't want a monarchist dictatorship.

814
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: The change, as you well know, must come from within.

815
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: Rare is it that there's an outside force that can

816
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 1: command and foster regime change and then preside over regime change.

817
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:50,160
Speaker 1: This country has been guilty. Our country has been guilty

818
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: of trying to do that in many, many instances. How

819
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 1: strong do you think this resistance is, this uprising is

820
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: in Iran? And from what what you can piece together,

821
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: do you think it's enough to force regime change? This

822
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 1: has been a regime the how many regime change has

823
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: been in existence for almost fifty years now is it

824
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: strong enough this internal uprising.

825
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 8: Yes, if you take a very serious look at the

826
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 8: Iranian regime, they have lost many of the cards they

827
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:22,760
Speaker 8: had to play.

828
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 4: They have lost the credibility on nuclear threats. They have

829
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 4: lost their proxy forces.

830
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 8: In the region that they were using to blackmail the

831
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:37,760
Speaker 8: region and blackmail the world, and that they have lost

832
00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 8: a lot of power on the streets of Tehran and

833
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 8: on people. And at the same time, you know, you

834
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 8: refer to what can the world do you know? I

835
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 8: was listening to President I was reading President Trump's statement

836
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 8: on how he supports and is ready to support the

837
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 8: Iranian people on the.

838
00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 4: Streets, And that statement, to me, matters a lot because

839
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 4: it sends a.

840
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 8: Clear warning to the regime that mass killing will not

841
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 8: be ignored. Moral and political support for Iranian people is important,

842
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:21,280
Speaker 8: especially when the regime relies on silence to escalate violence

843
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 8: in Iran. But at the same time, I should say

844
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 8: that this uprising does not belong to Washington, does not

845
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 8: belong to any other capital in the world, and it

846
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 8: does not need to be managed from outside. Iranians are

847
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:40,399
Speaker 8: not asking for intervention or.

848
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:44,800
Speaker 4: Boots on the ground or imposed and engineered solutions.

849
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 8: They're asking for a space to decide their own future,

850
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 8: without bullets, without prisons or executions, but support matters, and

851
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 8: support should mean standing with the people's right to resist,

852
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 8: people's right to self determination, holding the regime Iranian regime

853
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 8: accountable for their clients, and isolating the IRGC. So in

854
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:18,479
Speaker 8: those ways, I really appreciate the American administration and many

855
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:23,320
Speaker 8: other administrations in Europe to have to have enhanced the

856
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 8: sanctions against IOLOGC and the Iranian rulers. The future of

857
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 8: Iran must be written.

858
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 4: By the Iranians, by.

859
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 9: People in Iran, not by the clerics, not by monarchists,

860
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:44,759
Speaker 9: not by the remnants of shots a Walk or short.

861
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:48,320
Speaker 8: Family who are who might be dreaming of coming back

862
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 8: and becoming kings again.

863
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 4: All five powers.

864
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: You mentioned the i r GC for those that don't

865
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 1: know that, as the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps. Basically it's

866
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:04,959
Speaker 1: the military in Iran. The military over there has been

867
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 1: successful in its attempt to squash down these uprisings, maybe

868
00:51:09,480 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: not as big as what we're seeing now, but I

869
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 1: mean that's the only way you're going to get what

870
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:19,720
Speaker 1: you're talking about is if somehow, some way THERGC is compromised,

871
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 1: either by laying down their weapons or being threatened by something,

872
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 1: maybe an attack from an outside force. Life the United States,

873
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 1: we did pretty well with their nuclear plants there back

874
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,320
Speaker 1: in the summertime. But the fact of the matter is,

875
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:35,799
Speaker 1: as long as the IRGC is still operating, this is

876
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 1: going to be a very difficult thing for this uprising

877
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 1: to be successful. I'm just wondering, how vulnerable do you

878
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 1: think this Islamic Revolution guardcore is.

879
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:56,800
Speaker 8: So I don't believe that IRGC is an ideological force.

880
00:51:57,360 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 8: There might have been maybe decades ago, but right now

881
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 8: there are a group of thugs.

882
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:06,720
Speaker 4: That control the corruption in Iran.

883
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 8: They have been they have been sending a lot of

884
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 8: money to through their own family ties, so outside the country,

885
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 8: getting ready to escape Iran. When the time comes, and

886
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 8: the time is almost here, is here, And so I

887
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:30,160
Speaker 8: don't think that when they see there and clearly they

888
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 8: are going to resist, they're going to escape. And we

889
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 8: are seeing those cracks right now, We are hearing those

890
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 8: cracks right now within IRGC, and at the same time,

891
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:46,359
Speaker 8: no ILGC is one of the several military and military

892
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 8: forces that Iran has.

893
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:52,280
Speaker 4: There's a lot of fighting among them for power.

894
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 8: There's a lot of fighting among various factions in Iran

895
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 8: for power.

896
00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 4: So I think that at the end of the day,

897
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:02,360
Speaker 4: they're going to put up some resistance.

898
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:06,320
Speaker 8: I don't think that toppling them would be very easy,

899
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 8: but that resistance is at the same time have.

900
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:11,840
Speaker 4: Been forming inside Iran through.

901
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:15,840
Speaker 8: The resistance units of the National Council of Resistance of

902
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 8: Iran and People's Giving Organization of Iran, who are the

903
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 8: main opposition groups fighting the.

904
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 4: Iranian regime for the past five decades.

905
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 8: So when when the the power is going to shift

906
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 8: in Iran and we're seeing the beginning of it, and

907
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 8: when when the IRGC members see that they're not going

908
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:43,800
Speaker 8: to resist they're not ideological.

909
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 1: You mentioned the n c r I. I know these

910
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,760
Speaker 1: are a lot of initials, but that's the National Council

911
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 1: of Resistance of Iran, and that seems to be the

912
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 1: force that would at least initially go in there and

913
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 1: and try to establish a more demo democratic government in Iran.

914
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:06,360
Speaker 1: This is a this is a group in exile, the NCRII.

915
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,320
Speaker 1: I know there are a few of the ncri I,

916
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,760
Speaker 1: quite a few actually based here in the United States. Doctor,

917
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:16,279
Speaker 1: you know what's going on over there, and you know

918
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 1: the strength of the particular resistance groups that are based here.

919
00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 1: What do you think is the outcome of this uprising?

920
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:27,800
Speaker 1: Leave beside your hope what you hope for, but realistically,

921
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 1: what do you think the outcome of this this uprising

922
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:33,439
Speaker 1: in Iran will be?

923
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 8: So the current uprising that started a few days ago,

924
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 8: I cannot predict what is where it will be next

925
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 8: week or a few days or next month. But one

926
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:53,840
Speaker 8: thing that is utterly clear in my head is that

927
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:59,320
Speaker 8: the Iranian regime has been accelerating down in its power,

928
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:02,759
Speaker 8: in its great on the country, and the economy is

929
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 8: totally broken. There's a water bankruptcy inside Iran, and it's

930
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 8: and and and then shocking water shortage in Iran. There

931
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 8: the Iran in regym is losing its greep on hour.

932
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 8: So and then at the same time you see that

933
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 8: resistance have been unascending. The resistance units have been increased significantly,

934
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 8: both in numbers and the quality of the tactics that

935
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 8: they use. So when you when you draw these two lines,

936
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:43,840
Speaker 8: there is no doubt in my mind looking at it scientifically,

937
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 8: that these two lines are going to intersect.

938
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 4: How soon that could be, I don't know. It is

939
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:54,840
Speaker 4: very soon. But I cannot predict the day.

940
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 1: Doctor. We appreciate your time here on seven hundred w

941
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:01,000
Speaker 1: l W. I know it's a very per and passionate

942
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 1: thing for you. Thanks for enlightening us here as to

943
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:07,759
Speaker 1: what's going on there, and hopefully we can phone you

944
00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 1: up and do this again as this situation develops, and

945
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 1: I think you're right. Who knows where it goes, but

946
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 1: it will develop. Thank you again, doctor, and all but

947
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 1: save everything safe, happy in health in this new year.

948
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you and much.

949
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,399
Speaker 4: That was my pleasure to be with you, sir.

950
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we've seen this before in in lesser

951
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 1: things around Iraq. I'm sorry, in Iran, and it's it's

952
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 1: obvious that what happened in the summer with the nuclear attacks,

953
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:39,279
Speaker 1: you know, the attacks on the nuclear sites there in

954
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,840
Speaker 1: Iran has had a devastating effect on their economy that

955
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 1: was in pretty bad shape before all of that. Now

956
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:49,759
Speaker 1: where it leads to, I don't know. I don't have

957
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 1: the same kind of hope that doctor Heronian had about

958
00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: the actual police over they're the military or whatever. Maybe

959
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,840
Speaker 1: they're hired guns, maybe they're not. But I think it

960
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:10,320
Speaker 1: all depends on whether or not the Islamic Revolution Guard

961
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 1: Corps would be faithful to the Homani regime, or if

962
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 1: it would just you know, in essence, be be what

963
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 1: they are hired guns, and they might realize that all

964
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 1: of that's transpired there in the wake of the Shah

965
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 1: being disposed and sent into exile back in nineteen seventy eight.

966
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 1: It's been fifty years. We'll see. I don't know. The

967
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 1: change though, has to come from within. It's not going

968
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:44,200
Speaker 1: to be somebody like the United States or Russia or

969
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 1: anybody like that coming in and trying to do a

970
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 1: regime change. It just it never works. We will keep

971
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 1: an eye on. It's something that's just popped up in

972
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 1: the last five days and I think a very interesting situation.

973
00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: I hope you did too. Twenty seven on this Friday

1036
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 10: his former team winning last night. The bonus is part

1037
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 10: of an agreement LSU reached to with the coach to

1038
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:45,640
Speaker 10: lure him out of Old Miss.

1039
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 1: I love when people get lowered, that's that deal. I

1040
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 1: love when people get loose.

1041
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 10: So he's made nine hundred thousand dollars on Old Miss

1042
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:53,360
Speaker 10: and he's not there anymore.

1043
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:55,840
Speaker 1: And look at me. I was trying to scrap together

1044
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:57,880

1047
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 10: UC Bearcat number one quarterback, apparently in the portal rankings,

1048
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 10: could earn up to five million.

1049
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 1: He's gonna, he's he's set up.

1050

1051
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 1: Say, the whole world's out of whack? Have you noticed

1052
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 1: that you're not kidding? And college football you're not. You're

1053
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: not rooting for players that you're rooting for uniform correct,

1054
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean you have to Half the time

Speaker 1: in the uniform. So of Cincinnati basketball, I'm sure if

1057
01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 1: you were into it, knee deep into it, you're following

1058
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:41,600
Speaker 1: it every day. I mean, I you know, I try

1059
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 1: to stay as on top of it as possible. This

1060
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 1: season began back in October of that. Who are these people?

1061
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:48,880

Speaker 10: Navy three point thirty right here on seven hundred WLW.

1067
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:08,000
Speaker 1: Here's your problem with that game? Yeah, Brendan Soorsby has

1068
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:12,320
Speaker 1: taken interviews at Texas Tech right in LSU. Yeah, and

1069
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 1: there's not a single Navy player that's entering the portal.

1070
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:17,680
Speaker 1: The only portal they're entering is the one that gets

1071
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:20,280
Speaker 1: them on a boat for a submarine. Exactly.

Speaker 10: packed against the Akron Zips.

1078
01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:44,520
Speaker 1: You know, I think about Dan Horde a lot. Yes,

1079
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 1: we've intersected. He's the Bengals play by play guy. I

1082
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 1: What game do you think has the best chance of

1083
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,920
Speaker 1: ending in a win for Dan Horde? Would be the

1084
01:04:02,040 --> 01:04:05,920

01:04:09,960 --> 01:04:13,320
Speaker 1: the Bengals on Sunday. Well, I only put those two

1087
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 1: out because they were the kay cut. By the way,

1088
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:19,480
Speaker 1: the quarterback at Kentucky is in the transfer I know

1089
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:23,800
Speaker 1: who isn't. Well, I don't know who isn't the portal.

1090
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 1: If you could go in the transfer portal to any

1091
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:30,600
Speaker 1: radio station in the world, would you enter the portal? Now,

1092
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:35,600
Speaker 1: which of the celebrities that host shows here on seven

1093
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:39,520
Speaker 1: hundred W WELW, which one do you think would be

1094
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 1: the one that would garner the most interest in the

1095
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 1: radio transfer portal? William D. Cunningham. Ah, but you got

1096
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:50,600
Speaker 1: to ask yourself. Got to ask yourself or Lance, got

1097
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 1: to ask yourself. Oh okay, I'm gonna ask myself. Popularity

1098
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 1: with age, how much time? How much can you give

1099
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:01,919
Speaker 1: where you're going? Tom Brown? Hey, well there you go.

1100
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:04,960
Speaker 1: Now you're thinking. Now you're thinking a younger, younger, got

1101
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 1: younger compared to most of us here, younger guy, and uh,

1102
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:11,920
Speaker 1: he would command I think a lot of attention and

1103
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 1: moolah if he were to enter the radio transferred portal. Now,

1104
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 1: a guy like me at one time, maybe, but not

1105
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:19,440
Speaker 1: at my head.

1106
01:05:19,480 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 10: But they're probably gonna end up with the senior transfer

1107
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 10: portal now, you're talking and then like a like a sophomore,

1108
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 10: like a freshman talking sophomore, junior and senior, like like

1109
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 10: like this college you're supposed to go to.

1110
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 1: If they ever had radio programs for the home, I

1111
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 1: think we could put together an all starline to enter

1112
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:46,600
Speaker 1: that unbelievable Are you kidding? We call ourselves whom the home,

1113
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 1: and we'd all be in that portal, that's correct. The

1114
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 1: only guy at in wheelchairs, you know, Brennaman probably wouldn't,

1115
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:58,200
Speaker 1: Rocky probably wouldn't. Now Eddie Fingers, he may open the

1116
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 1: door of the portal. He got willing. Yeah, oh Sloan's

01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:09,240

1119
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:12,200

Speaker 10: Down look, good, look at the summer games. Then I'm

1178
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 1: that's true. So I'm saying saying that a lot of

1179
01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:13,280
Speaker 1: a lot of times you try to reinvent the wheel,

1180
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:15,120
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Well, that's trying to be

1181
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:18,479
Speaker 1: the smartest guy in the room. Games in Florida, the

1182
01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:19,400
Speaker 1: ice is gonna melt.

1183
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:21,439
Speaker 10: Well, what a couple of years ago they had it

1184
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:24,480
Speaker 10: when it was at Ohio Stadium with the Jackets.

1185
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:27,240
Speaker 1: That's right. Now, I've got an idea. You and I

1186
01:09:27,280 --> 01:09:29,920
Speaker 1: talked about this idea several years ago. All right, one

1187
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:33,120
Speaker 1: of the most underused facilities in the world is pay

1188
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 1: Corpse Stadium. Right, Yes, why couldn't you put on a

1189
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 1: Winter Classic at pay Corpse Stadium and you would have

1190
01:09:41,240 --> 01:09:45,560
Speaker 1: two games in there? Yes, you would have the Cincinnati

1191
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:50,360
Speaker 1: Cyclones in the Indie Fueld taking on taking on the

1192
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:56,040
Speaker 1: Cleveland Lumberjacks Minor League hockey game, and then and then

1193
01:09:56,120 --> 01:10:00,000
Speaker 1: say you would put on eyes the Columbus blue jacket

1194
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:05,880
Speaker 1: against the Chicago Blackhawks a double head. I'm telling you,

1195
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:07,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if they get sixty three thousand, but

1196
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:11,400
Speaker 1: I bet you they'd get forty five fifty thousand. And

1197
01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:15,200
Speaker 1: then you know what happens after that. Then people say, wow, Cincinnati,

1198
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:18,760
Speaker 1: why don't they have a franchise in the National Hockey League.

1199
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:21,400
Speaker 1: And that's some dude with a lot of money, you know,

1200
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:24,479
Speaker 1: maybe living out in some you know ranch with six

1201
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 1: girlfriends in Las Vegas, diamonds dripping off everyone, cash coming

1202
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:32,240
Speaker 1: out of his pocket like it's lint. He's going to say, hey,

1203
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:34,600
Speaker 1: I might want to finance that. It all begins with

1204
01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:36,679
Speaker 1: a seed said, it all begins with an idea.

1205
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 10: There you go, Ken prew We'll see what I Maybe

1206

Speaker 10: You get John Barrett from Western Southern about the sentas guy.

1214
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:04,599
Speaker 1: Now we're talking there, you go. All you need now

1215
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:08,880
Speaker 1: is an arena some dude with two billion dollars to

1216
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:14,559
Speaker 1: get a franchise and ice. After that, we're all set. Okay,

1220
01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:28,760
Speaker 1: We leave you with the immortal words of the stew Report. Well,

1221
01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:32,400
Speaker 1: what if they unleash Goofy on Mickey Mouse and Goofy

1222
01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:35,240
Speaker 1: takes Mickey Mouse out and that's it? And then Goofy

1223
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:37,519
Speaker 1: is like he's like a fourth or fifth line character.

1224
01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:39,640
Speaker 1: Nobody cares what Goofy's going to do. I mean, they

1225
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:41,640
Speaker 1: could really have a lot of fun with this and

1226
01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:43,320
Speaker 1: really traumatize a lot of children.

1227
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:48,120
Speaker 10: Not kidding. What about Pluto and Mini Mouse? What would

1228
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:48,840
Speaker 10: Mini Mouse do?

1229
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:53,639
Speaker 1: Hang on? Stand BYO is in the public domain this year.

1230
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 3: Uh oh.

1231
01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:57,360
Speaker 1: He was an early character. He was Rover. Initially he

1232
01:11:57,479 --> 01:12:00,880
Speaker 1: was Mini Mouse's pet, but then he was unleashed as

1233
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:03,720
Speaker 1: the main character. So Pluto is out there in the

1234
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:06,639
Speaker 1: public domain. So you're saying snow White and the Seven

1235
01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 1: Dwarfs are next. I'm telling you this thing could be

1236
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 1: the They could be all kinds of just absolute What

1237
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 1: about what about Mary Poppins, Well, I know, I think

1238
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:19,400
Speaker 1: she's I think she's safe for a while. I think

1239
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:22,160
Speaker 1: Mary Poppins is safe for a while. What about the Dalmatians.

1240
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 1: Dick van Dyk is like a hundred, so he could

1241
01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:26,200
Speaker 1: be in the he could be at the public domain

1242
01:12:26,240 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 1: at any moment. You could have all kinds of degenerate

1243
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:36,639
Speaker 1: things out there with these characters being unleashed for god

1244
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:38,679
Speaker 1: knows what. I think we ought assume them. And we're

1245
01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 1: sitting around here worrying about Venezuela drug boats and Ukraine

1246
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:46,360
Speaker 1: and Russia. We should be worrying about Mickey Mouse characters

1247
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:50,080
Speaker 1: in the public domain doings. What on film, Walt Disney's

1248
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:53,840
Speaker 1: terrorizing children and god fearing people all over the world. Yeah,

1249
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:55,720
Speaker 1: that's what I'm That's what I'm wrapped up there right,

1250
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:57,519
Speaker 1: All right, there we go, seg I'll see you in

1251
01:12:57,520 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 1: an hour. Yes, their ken Brew. All right, I'm glad

1252
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:02,240
Speaker 1: we could get to the bottom of these things me too.

1253
01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:05,280
Speaker 1: God knows where that leads to. Well, it's coming up

1254
01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:08,719
Speaker 1: on two fifty three. Stand by, we've got the top

1255
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:12,680
Speaker 1: five New Year's resolutions for twenty twenty six. Oh, by

1256
01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:14,559
Speaker 1: the way, say, did you know that eighty percent of

1257
01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:19,559
Speaker 1: New Year's resolutions never get realized, just get punted? Yeah?

1258
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:21,800
Speaker 1: Thank you? And in the first two months. It's a

1259
01:13:21,840 --> 01:13:24,880
Speaker 1: staggering number. It's like seventy percent of it happens in

1260
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:27,320
Speaker 1: the first two months. Or what about the first few hours?

1261
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:30,920
Speaker 1: I would yeah, or days? What about today? You may

1262
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,400
Speaker 1: made a resolution the other day it's already gone. You

1263
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:36,080
Speaker 1: make a resolution when you're drunk. You wake up in

1264
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:38,880
Speaker 1: like four or five hours, and I said, what I'm

1265
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:41,240
Speaker 1: gonna do? What I'm gonna do that way? And the

1266
01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:42,120
Speaker 1: hell I'm doing that?

1267
01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:42,479
Speaker 3: Correct?

1268
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:46,080
Speaker 1: One f three News Radio seven hundred.

1269
01:13:45,840 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 11: W l W two.

1270
01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:07,280
Speaker 1: Seven on this Friday, January second, nineteen hundred. Wait a minute,

1271
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:11,479
Speaker 1: miss that one. By about twenty six years, twenty twenty six.

1272
01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:13,880
Speaker 1: Great to have you with us, the average American in

1273
01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:16,240
Speaker 1: for the great American. I think a lot of us

1274
01:14:16,280 --> 01:14:18,240
Speaker 1: are trying to live better in twenty twenty six, right,

1275
01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:20,639
Speaker 1: I mean, as I talked about a few hours ago,

1276
01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:23,880
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. You can do nothing about the only

1277
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:26,479
Speaker 1: thing we have really is today, but really is this

1278
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:28,800
Speaker 1: year that we're in. And a lot of what we

1279
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:31,400
Speaker 1: try to do to make life better for us is

1280
01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:34,240
Speaker 1: out of our control. A lot of things that happened

1281
01:14:34,280 --> 01:14:38,240
Speaker 1: from an economic extense, be it inflation, be it the

1282
01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:40,439
Speaker 1: cost of fuel and whatnot, we don't have any control

1283
01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:43,960
Speaker 1: over that. We can just you know, suck it up

1284
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:47,799
Speaker 1: and suffer the consequences and move on, or get bogged

1285
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 1: down by that thought and just absolutely get paralyzed by it,

1286
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:53,559
Speaker 1: or we can we can do other things that make

1287
01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:56,560
Speaker 1: ourselves better. And it's funny, you know a lot of

1288
01:14:56,600 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 1: the people that make New Year's resolutions, they don't followed

1289
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:02,760
Speaker 1: through on them. I just saw this the other day.

1290
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:07,680
Speaker 1: Most people don't high rate failures of New Year's resolutions,

1291
01:15:07,720 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 1: often around eighty to ninety percent. And a lot of

1292
01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:15,320
Speaker 1: those resolutions that you make, you're not resolving yourself to

1293
01:15:15,400 --> 01:15:18,720
Speaker 1: do just two weeks into a new year. But there

1294
01:15:18,800 --> 01:15:22,559
Speaker 1: is a poll out top five New Year's resolutions for

1295
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:26,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. You gov is the upholster, and it

1296
01:15:26,880 --> 01:15:29,160
Speaker 1: revealed that thirty one percent of us will come up

1297
01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:32,360
Speaker 1: with a resolution set of goal heading into twenty twenty six,

1298
01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:36,400
Speaker 1: and the number one on that list is exercise more.

1299
01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:39,360
Speaker 1: Twenty five percent of us say that's what we want

1300
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:43,360
Speaker 1: to do. People that were surveyed under forty five they

1301
01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:46,639
Speaker 1: want to save more money, not thirty percent. Well, that's

1302
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:51,120
Speaker 1: that's one poll that's out there. How about somebody that

1303
01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:54,559
Speaker 1: knows a little bit more about that than what you

1304
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:57,960
Speaker 1: gov does? I think she does. We've had Lisa W.

1305
01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:00,479
Speaker 1: Mill around with us many times before or She is

1306
01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:04,240
Speaker 1: a nationally known researcher, keynote speaker, and author, and she's

1307
01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:07,920
Speaker 1: been in places like The Wall Street Journal, NBC, Nightly News, Fox,

1308
01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:11,760
Speaker 1: and other places around the country. She has just completed

1309
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:15,400
Speaker 1: a survey on resolutions, and it's great to have Lisa

1310
01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:17,840
Speaker 1: with us again. Lisa, how are you on this glorious day.

1311
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:20,800
Speaker 6: I am doing great. Thank you so much for having

1312
01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:21,920
Speaker 6: me in the Happy New.

1313
01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:24,920
Speaker 1: Year, Happy and healthy new Year to you as well.

1314
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:27,439
Speaker 1: I think that I don't doubt that people say to

1315
01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:31,120
Speaker 1: themselves on New Year's Eve, you know what, I'm going

1316
01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:34,720
Speaker 1: to do this in this case twenty twenty six. I

1317
01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:36,920
Speaker 1: am going to be better at this, better at that.

1318
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:41,360
Speaker 1: But we seem to as a people lack the resolve

1319
01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 1: with our resolutions. Why do you think that's the case.

1320
01:16:45,560 --> 01:16:48,360
Speaker 6: Well, I think that's a pretty easy one, honestly, is

1321
01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:50,800
Speaker 6: that we get so distracted with you know, day to

1322
01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:54,439
Speaker 6: day living and that old adage of it takes twenty

1323
01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:58,200
Speaker 6: one days to create a new habit. And so that's

1324
01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:00,439
Speaker 6: why a lot of people by you know, the third

1325
01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:03,200
Speaker 6: week of January. They've even started coining it a name,

1326
01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:06,520
Speaker 6: which is by you know, by the third week of January,

1327
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:09,000
Speaker 6: like how are you doing on your New Year's resolution?

1328
01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:12,200
Speaker 6: But for me, what I always think about is how

1329
01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:14,519
Speaker 6: do you think of it? Less about this you know

1330
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:17,400
Speaker 6: date on the calendar, and really instead of a new

1331
01:17:17,479 --> 01:17:21,080
Speaker 6: Year's resolution, it's really just you know, people want to

1332
01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:24,120
Speaker 6: be happier. Sure, people want to save money and drink

1333
01:17:24,160 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 6: more water and exercise all those things that are on

1334
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:28,599
Speaker 6: that you gov poll. But at the end of the day,

1335
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:31,439
Speaker 6: generations are different and kind of what we need as

1336
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:33,920
Speaker 6: humans kind of varies by the life.

1337
01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 3: Stage we're in.

1338
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:38,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, there's no question about it. You reach a

1339
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:42,280
Speaker 1: certain stage in life and things like wealth or building

1340
01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:45,080
Speaker 1: more wealth is just I mean, it's just almost impossible.

1341
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:48,200
Speaker 1: But when you're younger, all things are at your footstep

1342
01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:52,599
Speaker 1: and your your poll you pulled genders and I've thought

1343
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:54,240
Speaker 1: a lot of this thing. A lot of the this

1344
01:17:54,320 --> 01:18:00,599
Speaker 1: poling was interesting, financial intensity, digital boundaries. With the younger crowd,

1345
01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:03,599
Speaker 1: with the gen Z crowd, this is getting more more

1346
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:07,080
Speaker 1: traction than with some of the older the millennials and

1347
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:09,720
Speaker 1: the and the boomers and people like that. What is

1348
01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:12,320
Speaker 1: it about gen Z that made it interesting to you

1349
01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:13,639
Speaker 1: to survey them?

1350
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 6: Well, and my survey was eighteen plus years old, and

1351
01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:21,360
Speaker 6: so I can talk about not only gen Z because

1352
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 6: that was really fascinating, but how they compare to millennials

1353
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:27,519
Speaker 6: and gen X and boomers depending, you know, a lot

1354
01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 6: of different listeners out there. But for gen Z, why

1355
01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:32,799
Speaker 6: it caught my eye was that the number one gap,

1356
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:38,840
Speaker 6: meaning that they were significantly higher than total population, was happiness.

1357
01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:44,040
Speaker 6: They were full fourteen points higher on the idea I

1358
01:18:44,080 --> 01:18:46,759
Speaker 6: just want to be happy. And it goes in line

1359
01:18:46,760 --> 01:18:49,439
Speaker 6: with the fact you know that all the jobs, you know,

1360
01:18:49,479 --> 01:18:51,880
Speaker 6: there's all this press that all the AI is taking

1361
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:55,360
Speaker 6: all the jobs, you know, unemployment and all of these things,

1362
01:18:55,439 --> 01:18:59,320
Speaker 6: and so being happy is just pretty foundational. But to

1363
01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:02,920
Speaker 6: your point that financial intensity the fact that at a

1364
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:05,840
Speaker 6: much higher rate, it's you know, the time value of money,

1365
01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:07,760
Speaker 6: you know, like a guy like Dave Ramsey, It's like,

1366
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 6: if you start at gen Z, then if you start

1367
01:19:10,439 --> 01:19:13,800
Speaker 6: saving money, the compounding effects. So they're kind of getting that.

1368
01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:18,120
Speaker 6: But then this idea of you know, putting down their phones,

1369
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:22,000
Speaker 6: you know, creating those digital boundaries. We know that generation

1370
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:24,920
Speaker 6: and is really the first to grow up, you know,

1371
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:28,320
Speaker 6: the whole Their phones were in their hands when they

1372
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:32,360
Speaker 6: were thirteen years old versus millennials they came later. And

1373
01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:35,679
Speaker 6: so they they're realizing that destruction is just not good

1374
01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:39,000
Speaker 6: and it's not good for their goals. It's not good

1375
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:42,120
Speaker 6: for their mental health, which is also one thing that

1376
01:19:42,280 --> 01:19:44,519
Speaker 6: you know, we the gen Z are working on as

1377
01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:47,840
Speaker 6: well as just eating better. So when you're younger, you

1378
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:51,840
Speaker 6: definitely are more all in on New Year's resolutions. But

1379
01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:55,000
Speaker 6: it's just interesting to see what out of thirty things,

1380
01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:58,360
Speaker 6: these are the items that really scored higher for gen

1381
01:19:58,479 --> 01:19:59,920
Speaker 6: Z than the rest of the rest.

1382
01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:04,880
Speaker 1: This, yeah, be happier. Now we have a quarterback for

1383
01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:07,240
Speaker 1: our football team in this town. You may or may

1384
01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:09,519
Speaker 1: not have heard of Joe Burrow, but he's making hundreds

1385
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:11,040
Speaker 1: of millions of dollars. He's very good.

1386
01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:14,160
Speaker 6: I know, I know of him.

1387
01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:18,640
Speaker 1: So his last news conference of the season was just

1388
01:20:18,680 --> 01:20:21,439
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, and someone asked him what

1389
01:20:21,479 --> 01:20:25,920
Speaker 1: his year New Year's resolution was, and he said, be happy.

1390
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:29,400
Speaker 1: And he's a he's a borderline gen z Er, he's

1391
01:20:29,520 --> 01:20:31,599
Speaker 1: at the upper end of gen Z. But he said

1392
01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:35,720
Speaker 1: be happy. And I said that struck me at you know,

1393
01:20:36,200 --> 01:20:38,760
Speaker 1: a money can't buy happiness. You and I both know that.

1394
01:20:39,360 --> 01:20:42,439
Speaker 1: But with your survey in mind, why why is that

1395
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:45,240
Speaker 1: in your opinion? Why is that such a big thing

1396
01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:47,640
Speaker 1: for gen Z Are they Are they just not a

1397
01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:49,840
Speaker 1: happy group? Or is it something else?

1398
01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:54,360
Speaker 6: Well, definitely the data shows that they are by far

1399
01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:58,160
Speaker 6: not the most lonely, you know, with all the digital connectivity,

1400
01:20:58,680 --> 01:21:02,320
Speaker 6: they are highly like highly lonely. In fact, two times

1401
01:21:02,320 --> 01:21:06,400
Speaker 6: more lonely, four and ten gen Z actually report feeling

1402
01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:09,800
Speaker 6: lonely versus about twenty three percent for the rest of

1403
01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 6: the country. And if you think about this, think about

1404
01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:15,679
Speaker 6: maybe when you were twenty years old or twenty five

1405
01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:19,800
Speaker 6: years old at that time, we lived in a different error,

1406
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:23,120
Speaker 6: even millennials for that matter, you know, things were you

1407
01:21:23,160 --> 01:21:27,719
Speaker 6: didn't have this constant violence on your phone, whether it's

1408
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:33,599
Speaker 6: you know, school shootings, violence within cities, wars, tragedies happening.

1409
01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:36,800
Speaker 6: And then the other thing is even just simple things

1410
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:41,720
Speaker 6: about corporate you know, bad behavior and corporate CEO salaries

1411
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:45,000
Speaker 6: and all these things. We didn't have that growing up

1412
01:21:45,320 --> 01:21:48,200
Speaker 6: in this generation. You know, since they were thirteen years old,

1413
01:21:48,240 --> 01:21:50,760
Speaker 6: all of that's been in their pocket, and so it's

1414
01:21:51,040 --> 01:21:55,000
Speaker 6: it's kind of tainted in a way, you know, the possibilities.

1415
01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:58,040
Speaker 6: They just have had a lot more exposure to things

1416
01:21:58,080 --> 01:22:00,799
Speaker 6: that the rest of us didn't see till way later.

1417
01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:04,000
Speaker 6: And so as a result that idea of just that

1418
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:07,599
Speaker 6: basic happiness, you know, can We've talked so a lot

1419
01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:10,559
Speaker 6: of times over the years, and you know, every single

1420
01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:13,799
Speaker 6: day there is joy and happiness around us, but sometimes

1421
01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:16,720
Speaker 6: it's hard to see just because there's so much negativity

1422
01:22:16,800 --> 01:22:19,160
Speaker 6: around us. And so that's why I think gen Z

1423
01:22:19,360 --> 01:22:23,519
Speaker 6: is just ultra all in on you know, finding you know,

1424
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:26,439
Speaker 6: being happy, just the simple basic being happy.

1425
01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:28,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think it plays into something else that

1426
01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:31,479
Speaker 1: you have in your survey, thirty two percent of gen

1427
01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:34,240
Speaker 1: z ers aim to reduce screen time. That's a twelve

1428
01:22:34,280 --> 01:22:38,360
Speaker 1: point gap, so thirty two percent digital boundaries look, the world,

1429
01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:40,960
Speaker 1: as you just mentioned, is full of bad news. All

1430
01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 1: you have to do is doom scroll and you'll find

1431
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:47,480
Speaker 1: all of it. Again, this is a phenomena of the iPhone,

1432
01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:50,160
Speaker 1: which came in I think two thousand and five, two

1433
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:53,360
Speaker 1: thousand and six. But the fact of the matter is,

1434
01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:57,839
Speaker 1: it stands to reason if you put digital boundaries on yourself,

1435
01:22:58,360 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 1: all of these outside forces will not affect the way

1436
01:23:01,360 --> 01:23:03,639
Speaker 1: you think. Certainly, you've got to stay up on what's

1437
01:23:03,680 --> 01:23:06,160
Speaker 1: going on in the world for safety and other reasons,

1438
01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:07,880
Speaker 1: but over and above that, you don't have to be

1439
01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:12,040
Speaker 1: constantly on that device. This group, the gen Z group,

1440
01:23:12,280 --> 01:23:14,639
Speaker 1: tends to get that more so than others. I think

1441
01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:15,800
Speaker 1: that's encouraging, don't you.

1442
01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:18,760
Speaker 6: I do. And I think the other thing, there's two

1443
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 6: other trends that are kind of bubbling up, and we'll

1444
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:24,400
Speaker 6: see where they go. Particularly gen Z. You know, they're

1445
01:23:24,439 --> 01:23:28,120
Speaker 6: hearing how AI is going to take all the jobs

1446
01:23:28,160 --> 01:23:30,439
Speaker 6: and all the entry level and there's some merit to that.

1447
01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:34,080
Speaker 6: But the thing that's interesting they're finding, Yes, they use

1448
01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:37,519
Speaker 6: gen Z a lot compared to other age groups, but

1449
01:23:37,560 --> 01:23:40,400
Speaker 6: they also are getting the cringe factor. So you know,

1450
01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:44,000
Speaker 6: we've seen newsletters in our inboxes and we read social

1451
01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:47,320
Speaker 6: media posts and you know, the longer they get and

1452
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:50,040
Speaker 6: then they just there words that are not what that

1453
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:53,880
Speaker 6: person might speak. And so gen Z is like onto it,

1454
01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:58,200
Speaker 6: like in the transparency, like you know, don't be lazy.

1455
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:01,800
Speaker 6: You know, if social media, particularly, I think there's going

1456
01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:03,559
Speaker 6: to be a little bit of a backlash and we'll

1457
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:06,439
Speaker 6: see how it gets to all this AI generated content

1458
01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:09,400
Speaker 6: and and things like that, and where humanity and being

1459
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:14,200
Speaker 6: human sounds crazy as it is being human and those

1460
01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:18,640
Speaker 6: human characteristics are going to be you know, harder to

1461
01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:22,000
Speaker 6: find but even more important because of all the AI

1462
01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:23,759
Speaker 6: sure content and such.

1463
01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:26,759
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I mean, the company that owns this radio

1464
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:29,360
Speaker 1: station is onto it. iHeart has got a whole campaign

1465
01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:32,480
Speaker 1: out that we're totally human, we're not AI. But unfortunately,

1466
01:24:32,920 --> 01:24:34,640
Speaker 1: there are so many things that are out there, not

1467
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:39,200
Speaker 1: just in radio but in in social media. Who knows

1468
01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:42,400
Speaker 1: where else you could certainly find it. Certainly if you

1469
01:24:42,479 --> 01:24:45,120
Speaker 1: go on to a newspaper's website and you'll see a

1470
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:48,679
Speaker 1: disclaimer some of this was AI generated. So I think, yeah,

1471
01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:51,880
Speaker 1: maybe they maybe they do get the fact that you know,

1472
01:24:51,920 --> 01:24:53,920
Speaker 1: I might trick mom and dad, but it's not going

1473
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:56,439
Speaker 1: to going to trick me and I I maybe and

1474
01:24:56,479 --> 01:24:59,200
Speaker 1: that's a lesson probably for mom and dad. Would you not?

1475
01:24:59,360 --> 01:25:00,640
Speaker 1: Would you not? Agree?

1476
01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:04,439
Speaker 6: Definitely? And that's what's you know, I have kids that

1477
01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:07,360
Speaker 6: are in their twenties, and when you look at it,

1478
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:09,960
Speaker 6: you know, I try to learn what I can from

1479
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:13,799
Speaker 6: their generation. I have two gen zs and one millennial actually,

1480
01:25:14,320 --> 01:25:17,120
Speaker 6: and you know you as parents, we do have to

1481
01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:20,240
Speaker 6: kind of keep up with what's going on and and

1482
01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:22,439
Speaker 6: try to live a day in their world. I'll tell

1483
01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:25,679
Speaker 6: you one thing on this gen Z idea and around

1484
01:25:25,720 --> 01:25:28,840
Speaker 6: being happy, honestly, And if there's parents out there, maybe

1485
01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:30,960
Speaker 6: you can relate to this, which is if you have

1486
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:34,240
Speaker 6: a child, whether maybe you know, middle school, high school,

1487
01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 6: college or whatever, and you're maybe frustrated to say, maybe

1488
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:40,479
Speaker 6: they're not doing exactly what you want them to doing,

1489
01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:43,439
Speaker 6: whether it's you know, applying a job or you know,

1490
01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:46,840
Speaker 6: finding that job or finding you know, that college application.

1491
01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:49,880
Speaker 6: As parents were like when I was you know, when

1492
01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:51,800
Speaker 6: I was your age, this is what I did. That

1493
01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:55,800
Speaker 6: is the death and I mean guilty is charged. And

1494
01:25:56,040 --> 01:25:58,320
Speaker 6: the fact of the matter is they're growing up in

1495
01:25:58,400 --> 01:26:00,240
Speaker 6: a materially different.

1496
01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:01,320
Speaker 3: World than we did.

1497
01:26:01,920 --> 01:26:04,760
Speaker 6: And I know every generation probably has said this, but

1498
01:26:04,880 --> 01:26:09,000
Speaker 6: it's actually it is very much true that this generation

1499
01:26:09,439 --> 01:26:12,840
Speaker 6: has grown up so differently, and it does start with it.

1500
01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:14,760
Speaker 6: You know, two thousand and seven, you know when the

1501
01:26:14,760 --> 01:26:17,120
Speaker 6: iPhone came out, it changed everything.

1502
01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:20,880
Speaker 1: Lisa W. Miller is our guest. She's a researcher and author.

1503
01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:23,680
Speaker 1: She's done her own survey about New Year's resolutions and

1504
01:26:24,120 --> 01:26:26,960
Speaker 1: the gen Z crowd. The top one is be happier.

1505
01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:31,519
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering this has really more the way you

1506
01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:34,360
Speaker 1: go about this. Polling is such a difficult thing anymore,

1507
01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:37,280
Speaker 1: particularly in politics, to get to get the right amount

1508
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:39,519
Speaker 1: of people from the right demographic, to make sure you

1509
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:42,599
Speaker 1: come to the right conclusion. How difficult is it to

1510
01:26:42,640 --> 01:26:45,599
Speaker 1: do surveying and polling in this day and age where

1511
01:26:45,640 --> 01:26:47,160
Speaker 1: a lot of people if they see a number they

1512
01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:49,920
Speaker 1: don't like, they don't answer, or if they see a

1513
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:51,720
Speaker 1: text they don't care about it, they let it go.

1514
01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:56,000
Speaker 1: It's difficult. This polling difficult.

1515
01:26:56,320 --> 01:26:59,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I think two things on that. Ken is

1516
01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:03,160
Speaker 6: so when I do my surveys one thousand people every

1517
01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:05,880
Speaker 6: single month, and believe it or not, from the pandemic

1518
01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:09,559
Speaker 6: March twenty twenty, I'm up to ninety thousand consumers surveyed

1519
01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:12,600
Speaker 6: over that FOT. Yeah, it's crazy, But what I have

1520
01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:14,800
Speaker 6: to do each and every time is that you know,

1521
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:19,040
Speaker 6: quality data is so important in my work, and that

1522
01:27:19,080 --> 01:27:21,760
Speaker 6: we have to make sure that the sample is representative

1523
01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:27,599
Speaker 6: across geography, age, income, ethnicity, so many variables because garbage

1524
01:27:27,600 --> 01:27:30,320
Speaker 6: and garbage out. But the other big thing is in

1525
01:27:30,360 --> 01:27:33,120
Speaker 6: the today's world in research, you have to be worried

1526
01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:36,960
Speaker 6: about bots taking surveys, and so there's a lot of

1527
01:27:37,640 --> 01:27:39,880
Speaker 6: safeguards that are put into place to make sure that

1528
01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:43,759
Speaker 6: a human is actually taking the survey. So that's another

1529
01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:46,120
Speaker 6: kind of thing that in my world we have to

1530
01:27:46,120 --> 01:27:49,240
Speaker 6: worry about. But the other thing, specifically when I'm talking

1531
01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:52,599
Speaker 6: to gen Z in a separate survey, not this necessarily

1532
01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:55,559
Speaker 6: New Year's literally at the front of the survey ken,

1533
01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:58,880
Speaker 6: I said, I am an independent researcher. I don't work

1534
01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:02,080
Speaker 6: for a company or I want to know your true

1535
01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:06,719
Speaker 6: heartfelt thoughts and opinions on these questions. And the reason

1536
01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:10,400
Speaker 6: I did that was to have them really think about

1537
01:28:11,080 --> 01:28:14,439
Speaker 6: what the questions were and not just be an automatic

1538
01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:16,599
Speaker 6: pilot taking it. And on the back end, I said,

1539
01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:19,280
Speaker 6: what else would you want to tell me? And literally,

1540
01:28:19,360 --> 01:28:22,800
Speaker 6: I had hundreds and hundreds people saying, you get me.

1541
01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:25,920
Speaker 6: It's the first survey that I feel like understands my generation.

1542
01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:28,000
Speaker 6: Thank you for doing it. I wish you the best.

1543
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:31,880
Speaker 6: It was insane, and so when you ask different questions

1544
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:36,160
Speaker 6: and you ask good questions, people want to share their opinions.

1545
01:28:36,439 --> 01:28:38,920
Speaker 6: So that's part of getting good quality data.

1546
01:28:39,240 --> 01:28:42,679
Speaker 1: Well, I'm sitting here thinking, why wouldn't a major political

1547
01:28:42,760 --> 01:28:45,160
Speaker 1: party hire you? Maybe they have, I don't know, but

1548
01:28:45,280 --> 01:28:48,479
Speaker 1: hire you because all this pulling that we see in

1549
01:28:48,520 --> 01:28:53,240
Speaker 1: and around election time, most of it is just absolutely inaccurate.

1550
01:28:53,920 --> 01:28:57,440
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking to myself, why wouldn't they hire somebody

1551
01:28:57,720 --> 01:29:00,320
Speaker 1: like you to do that? Are you? Are you involved

1552
01:29:00,360 --> 01:29:01,840
Speaker 1: with that end of it when it comes to polling.

1553
01:29:02,640 --> 01:29:05,280
Speaker 6: Well, here's the sunny thing, Ken is so I was

1554
01:29:05,320 --> 01:29:08,840
Speaker 6: a political science major when I started college, and then

1555
01:29:08,880 --> 01:29:11,960
Speaker 6: I turned to marketing. I turned to marketing. So I

1556
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:14,960
Speaker 6: am one of those crazy people that I geek out

1557
01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:19,160
Speaker 6: a lot and political polls and such, because honestly, I

1558
01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:21,800
Speaker 6: do feel like I could ask better questions. But to

1559
01:29:21,880 --> 01:29:24,519
Speaker 6: answer the question, has anybody ever hired me to do

1560
01:29:24,640 --> 01:29:26,880
Speaker 6: polls for politics?

1561
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:27,040
Speaker 5: No?

1562
01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:30,519
Speaker 6: But I will say in the different elections since I've

1563
01:29:30,520 --> 01:29:34,760
Speaker 6: been doing this, mine has definitely predicted the outcome, and

1564
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:38,360
Speaker 6: you know, with precision kind of can tell why. So

1565
01:29:38,479 --> 01:29:42,839
Speaker 6: I think asking better different questions you get to better answers.

1566
01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:46,200
Speaker 1: Yes, all of this polling you've done with gen Z,

1567
01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:49,680
Speaker 1: this particular one, the other poll you mentioned gen Z,

1568
01:29:49,840 --> 01:29:52,320
Speaker 1: I think it's a bad rap. I really do. I

1569
01:29:52,360 --> 01:29:55,280
Speaker 1: think it's a different You have to engage a gen

1570
01:29:55,360 --> 01:29:57,519
Speaker 1: Z or differently for all of the reasons we just

1571
01:29:57,600 --> 01:29:59,680
Speaker 1: talked to. But I think when I look at that,

1572
01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:03,040
Speaker 1: make it a age group and using understandably this as

1573
01:30:03,080 --> 01:30:05,960
Speaker 1: an umbrella and not necessarily in any specific way, but

1574
01:30:06,760 --> 01:30:09,120
Speaker 1: I'm encouraged by that group. I just think you've got

1575
01:30:09,160 --> 01:30:11,600
Speaker 1: to you got to understand what makes them tick, and

1576
01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:13,280
Speaker 1: if you do, I think you're going to get a

1577
01:30:13,320 --> 01:30:15,960
Speaker 1: lot back in return. That's how I found it, just

1578
01:30:16,040 --> 01:30:18,120
Speaker 1: anecdotally in my everyday life.

1579
01:30:18,760 --> 01:30:22,080
Speaker 6: It sounds like you have to, Oh my gosh, Ken,

1580
01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:24,920
Speaker 6: that is exactly why I did the survey among gen

1581
01:30:25,040 --> 01:30:26,880
Speaker 6: Z because I feel like they are getting a bad

1582
01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:29,840
Speaker 6: rap and it is so annoying to me when I

1583
01:30:29,880 --> 01:30:34,160
Speaker 6: see headlines that say gen Z is not employable. I

1584
01:30:34,200 --> 01:30:38,320
Speaker 6: saw a survey in one of the large you know papers,

1585
01:30:38,439 --> 01:30:42,759
Speaker 6: national papers, and it was a university professor that tested

1586
01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:46,400
Speaker 6: a hypothesis to say gen Z's unemployable. And then I'm like,

1587
01:30:46,600 --> 01:30:49,280
Speaker 6: well great, So then gen Z sees all these negative

1588
01:30:49,280 --> 01:30:52,280
Speaker 6: headlines and like, well, everybody's out to get me. And

1589
01:30:52,320 --> 01:30:56,439
Speaker 6: so yeah, my whole mission, you know, since I've started

1590
01:30:56,439 --> 01:30:59,559
Speaker 6: this work, is giving gen Z a voice because they're

1591
01:30:59,640 --> 01:31:02,639
Speaker 6: very onto the very creative. And if you want people

1592
01:31:02,720 --> 01:31:05,680
Speaker 6: to help figure out the next phase, next phase of

1593
01:31:05,720 --> 01:31:09,960
Speaker 6: growth and digital transformation, and AI hire gen Z. Yeah,

1594
01:31:10,520 --> 01:31:13,479
Speaker 6: you know, if you if you try to ask gen Z,

1595
01:31:13,920 --> 01:31:16,479
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, if you ask AI the questions that I ask,

1596
01:31:16,640 --> 01:31:19,800
Speaker 6: you get bogus answers. But nobody's taking the time to

1597
01:31:19,880 --> 01:31:23,679
Speaker 6: really say if AI is giving you good quality data,

1598
01:31:23,720 --> 01:31:25,960
Speaker 6: and a lot of times it's not. So beware out

1599
01:31:25,960 --> 01:31:29,559
Speaker 6: there there's a lot of bad data, you know that's

1600
01:31:29,600 --> 01:31:30,799
Speaker 6: being quoted in AI.

1601
01:31:31,640 --> 01:31:36,440
Speaker 1: A university professor saying, is are gen Z people employable?

1602
01:31:37,080 --> 01:31:39,160
Speaker 1: And if I'm sure he came to the to the

1603
01:31:39,280 --> 01:31:42,200
Speaker 1: conclusion no, but just go ahead and keep sending me

1604
01:31:42,240 --> 01:31:44,240
Speaker 1: your money so I can educate your kids so they're

1605
01:31:44,240 --> 01:31:48,120
Speaker 1: not employable. I mean, it's just yah, Well.

1606
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:51,559
Speaker 6: But the crazy thing on that particular newspaper article was

1607
01:31:51,600 --> 01:31:54,240
Speaker 6: the fact that what they did was a survey and

1608
01:31:54,280 --> 01:31:58,120
Speaker 6: they basically said what matters to gen Z at work,

1609
01:31:58,200 --> 01:32:01,240
Speaker 6: and then what matters to managers at work, and then

1610
01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:04,120
Speaker 6: because there was not a high overlap, it just says

1611
01:32:04,240 --> 01:32:07,760
Speaker 6: gen Z is unemployable. And I'm like, maybe there's a

1612
01:32:07,800 --> 01:32:11,280
Speaker 6: different outcome, which is maybe you know, we have to

1613
01:32:11,360 --> 01:32:15,000
Speaker 6: adapt and you know it's a different world and leverage

1614
01:32:15,040 --> 01:32:18,599
Speaker 6: their strengths versus always saying calling out there lazy or

1615
01:32:18,680 --> 01:32:19,920
Speaker 6: unemployable because they're not.

1616
01:32:20,920 --> 01:32:26,479
Speaker 1: Absolutely Lisa W. Miller you can find her at lwmdash

1617
01:32:26,640 --> 01:32:32,040
Speaker 1: Associates dot com. Lwmdash Associates dot com. It's it's great

1618
01:32:32,080 --> 01:32:34,760
Speaker 1: talking to you again, and I say this all the time.

1619
01:32:35,240 --> 01:32:37,280
Speaker 1: We need to hear your voice. So stay well and

1620
01:32:37,320 --> 01:32:39,120
Speaker 1: hopefully we can do this again real soon.

1621
01:32:39,200 --> 01:32:41,960
Speaker 6: Thank you, Thank you so much, Ken, and happy New

1622
01:32:42,040 --> 01:32:42,679
Speaker 6: Year too.

1623
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:44,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1624
01:32:44,240 --> 01:32:46,160
Speaker 1: I do think gen z ers are getting a bad rap.

1625
01:32:46,720 --> 01:32:51,160
Speaker 1: And it'd be to say like boomers. Now Boomer says

1626
01:32:51,160 --> 01:32:55,439
Speaker 1: something on Twitter or some other and everybody, okay, Boomer,

1627
01:32:55,520 --> 01:32:58,840
Speaker 1: Well that's that guy. It's not every guy. It's not

1628
01:32:58,960 --> 01:33:02,520
Speaker 1: every Boomer. It's not every gen Z person. But unfortunately

1629
01:33:02,520 --> 01:33:03,920
Speaker 1: that's what we want to do. We want to drop

1630
01:33:04,080 --> 01:33:07,120
Speaker 1: drop tags on people and and things like that. Not

1631
01:33:07,280 --> 01:33:10,720
Speaker 1: here though, not here to twenty seven, counting down to

1632
01:33:10,760 --> 01:33:13,160
Speaker 1: you see football at three point thirty today, you see

1633
01:33:13,160 --> 01:33:16,920

1638
01:33:35,479 --> 01:33:39,479
Speaker 1: brown now, just saying no, that's true. You're right. Do

Speaker 1: you ever see that that movie Draft Day with Kevin Costner,

1640

Speaker 1: who's the general manager of the Brown Yeah, I'll watch

1641
01:33:46,760 --> 01:33:49,080
Speaker 1: that show way it is now? I guess yeah, I

1642
01:33:49,120 --> 01:33:51,439
Speaker 1: guess it is now. But that guy was wheeling and dealing. Yeah,

1643
01:33:51,479 --> 01:33:54,640
Speaker 1: wheeling and dealing. I don't see.

1644
01:33:53,880 --> 01:33:56,680
Speaker 10: You can't too much wheeling the dealing when you got

1645
01:33:57,000 --> 01:34:00,640
Speaker 10: what Deshaun Watson in two hundred and ninety dollars in

1648
01:34:05,680 --> 01:34:09,320

1649
01:34:09,560 --> 01:34:13,120
Speaker 1: SEG we watch sport, not necessarily to see who wins correct?

1650
01:34:13,160 --> 01:34:15,639
Speaker 1: See who melts down at his correct can? And where

1651
01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:20,679
Speaker 1: are the Cleveland Browns? Good luck to you? That could

1652
01:34:20,680 --> 01:34:22,320

Speaker 1: Shoot, what do you think, seg who wins this game?

1664
01:35:00,720 --> 01:35:03,920
Speaker 10: I think Navy's got They're gonna run it like crazy.

1665
01:35:05,120 --> 01:35:08,679
Speaker 10: I mean there's no uh you know. I mean, Dante

1666
01:35:08,880 --> 01:35:12,439
Speaker 10: Corleone's not playing a couple of the other defensive guys.

1667
01:35:12,800 --> 01:35:17,080
Speaker 10: You know, there's running backs out. I guess he's got

1668
01:35:17,080 --> 01:35:19,960
Speaker 10: a whole team to play. I don't know what are

1669
01:35:19,960 --> 01:35:20,360
Speaker 10: you gonna do?

1670
01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:22,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the way I look at this

1671
01:35:22,880 --> 01:35:25,920
Speaker 1: way is most of these bowl games don't matter they're

1672
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:28,880
Speaker 1: they're exhibitions, right, What are these teams? One team just

1673
01:35:29,160 --> 01:35:31,160
Speaker 1: declined to go to any ball game because they didn't

1674
01:35:31,160 --> 01:35:33,800
Speaker 1: have that state, Kansas State. Yeah, it's just like I

1675
01:35:33,880 --> 01:35:36,160
Speaker 1: look at these things. I think I think these these

1676
01:35:36,360 --> 01:35:41,200
Speaker 1: non playoff bowl games or dying breed. They're floated only

1677
01:35:41,240 --> 01:35:45,000
Speaker 1: by ESPN money. And as soon as the mouse does

1678
01:35:45,080 --> 01:35:47,680
Speaker 1: an audit of ESPN and see how much waste is there,

1679
01:35:47,720 --> 01:35:49,400
Speaker 1: I think a lot of these bowl games go by

1680
01:35:49,400 --> 01:35:50,040
Speaker 1: the wayside.

1681
01:35:50,320 --> 01:35:53,200
Speaker 10: Your good friend Brandon Soresby ken Brew is listed as

1682
01:35:53,240 --> 01:35:56,519
Speaker 10: the number one quarterback in the portal. Now some say

1683
01:35:56,560 --> 01:35:59,839
Speaker 10: he could earn up to five million, five plus million.

1684
01:36:00,560 --> 01:36:05,120
Speaker 1: He's got that. He's visiting Texas Tech today, LSU tomorrow. Wow.

1685
01:36:05,760 --> 01:36:08,360
Speaker 1: You know what, Troy's got a wide receiver named DJ

1686
01:36:08,560 --> 01:36:13,320
Speaker 1: Epps and he's gonna visit West Virginia early next week.

1687
01:36:13,400 --> 01:36:16,719
