Speaker 1: DoorDash Young people Love.
Speaker 2: DoorDash say it's launching what it calls an emergency food
Speaker 2: response as the government shutdown threatens food assistance.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the threatened food aid for some forty million Americans,
Speaker 3: and now DoorDash says that next month Tom it will
Speaker 3: waive delivery and service fees for three hundred thousand grocery
Speaker 3: orders for recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance program known
Speaker 3: as SNAP. DoorDash that it would also wave merchant fees
Speaker 3: on deliveries of a million meals for its food bank
Speaker 3: partners around the country again next month. Tom.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, PayPal making news on a couple of fronts this morning.
Speaker 1: Their shares are surging. Why is that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, Well, first of all, PayPal and Built Rewards are
Speaker 3: teaming up to let customers use PayPal's venmo to make
Speaker 3: rent and mortgage payments starting early next year. Customers have
Speaker 3: flocked to Built as a way to earn rewards for
Speaker 3: paying rent. Built, by the way is spelled Bilt. But
Speaker 3: the shares of PayPal are getting a big boost this morning.
Speaker 3: On some other news, it reached a deal with open
Speaker 3: Ai to embed its digital wallet inside Chat GPT. That
Speaker 3: means Chat GPT users who use that bot to find
Speaker 3: products online. We'll have PayPal to turn those searches into purchases.
Speaker 3: A time open AI gets mentioned in conjunction with another company,
Speaker 3: those shares of the other company just go haywire.
Speaker 2: Well, we have an extended interview with our business insider,
Speaker 2: Greg Steven coming up here in a minute. I think
Speaker 2: a lot of people who are wondering about AI.
Speaker 1: What is it?
Speaker 2: Should I be worried about it? Is it something I
Speaker 2: should embrace? This is a really good interview that we
Speaker 2: taped a little bit earlier this morning. Okay, how the
Speaker 2: futures looking this morning, Genu, Well, the futures.
Speaker 3: Are starting to pick up some speed here as we've
Speaker 3: seen some earnings rolling in this morning. Tom Down futures
Speaker 3: are up two hundred and sixteen, SMP futures are up seven,
Speaker 3: and the Nasdaq futures are up forty two. This report
Speaker 3: is sponsored by Fidelity from Bloomberg. Genas Servetti on News
Speaker 3: Radio seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2: It's great to have our business insider, and we'll get
Speaker 2: to that in just a minute. Greg Steben, you can
Speaker 2: follow him on Blue Sky at Greg g R E
Speaker 2: g G Steben ste b as in boy b as
Speaker 2: in boy e n. Now, look, you know we call
Speaker 2: you the business insider, Greg, but maybe you should be
Speaker 2: our AI insider instead, because I have a feeling that
Speaker 2: it's not only the last few weeks, but it could
Speaker 2: be good Lord Willing, we're here for years and years
Speaker 2: and years about the only thing we are talking about. Now,
Speaker 2: you've been skeptical, you're not dismissive, But let's talk about AI,
Speaker 2: the real AI. Which AI is real? Is AI real
Speaker 2: or is it a lot of hype?
Speaker 4: Yes, it's.
Speaker 1: There for a minute.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's real and a lot of hype. And that's
Speaker 4: why I like what you said. I'm skeptical because it's
Speaker 4: a lot of hype, but it's not dismissive because it's
Speaker 4: also real. And I think it's really important no matter
Speaker 4: where you are in sort of the economic chain. You know,
Speaker 4: you're an employee, maybe you manage people, maybe you own
Speaker 4: a business. I think it's really important to be both
Speaker 4: skeptical but not dismissive, to always be looking at it
Speaker 4: and be curious, be thinking how could we use that?
Speaker 4: But also be thinking is that a rabbit hole? Or
Speaker 4: you know, is the person who's sang this thing about
Speaker 4: how incredible AI is going to be or how scary
Speaker 4: AI is going to be, right, I mean, if it's
Speaker 4: going to replace a third of the workforce by next week,
Speaker 4: you know that's that's scary, right. You know why is
Speaker 4: this person saying that? Are they saying Do they have
Speaker 4: some motive for saying that, like maybe a profit motive made?
Speaker 4: Do they benefit from you believing that whether it's true
Speaker 4: or not. There's all this and some of it may
Speaker 4: be true. By the way, it's not going to replace
Speaker 4: the third of the workforce by next Thursday. And I
Speaker 4: don't think it's going to replace the third of the
Speaker 4: workforce in the next five years or really ever. I
Speaker 4: just think it's going to change the workforce, just like
Speaker 4: the telephone did, just like the car did, just like
Speaker 4: you know, more recently the internet did and the mobile
Speaker 4: phone did. I think it's going to be that kind
Speaker 4: of a change, which is not hype. It's realistic, and
Speaker 4: anything beyond that is probably hype.
Speaker 2: Give me a specific example, Greg Steban on where I
Speaker 2: is real.
Speaker 4: So I think there's some things you can do with
Speaker 4: AI to experiment with it to really understand how powerful
Speaker 4: it is. And I'm going to point to a particular
Speaker 4: deal that was just announced to sort of illustrate this.
Speaker 4: Walmart is now going to will allow you to use
Speaker 4: chat GPT to make purchases. It's hard for me to
Speaker 4: think about that in a really effective way because when
Speaker 4: I think of Walmart, I think about, you know, buying
Speaker 4: t shirts and dog toys. But imagine when you go
Speaker 4: to buy a car or a computer instead of doing
Speaker 4: Google searches. Like if you're buying a car, it's a
Speaker 4: really compliment. You're a computer, it's a really complix and
Speaker 4: you end up having like ten websites open, and you're
Speaker 4: bouncing from website to website and they never give you
Speaker 4: all the same information. And you can compare apples to oranges, right,
Speaker 4: Or you could go to chat GPT or Gemini or
Speaker 4: Perplexity and just say compare this computer from Dell with
Speaker 4: this computer from HP, with this computer from LG with
Speaker 4: this computer from some other companies, and they're literally you're
Speaker 4: literally just going to get a grid that compares everything
Speaker 4: side by side by side by side by side, which,
Speaker 4: if you're obsessive like me, you would have taken hours
Speaker 4: to lay out all that information for yourself instead, it
Speaker 4: took literally ninety seconds to happen. That's a great illustration
Speaker 4: of AI because it's really just they have all the
Speaker 4: same information you have. They just can organize it a
Speaker 4: lot faster and effectively than you can.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you and I were talking about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, about that last week when you're planning a vacation,
Speaker 2: same kind of thing. Okay, Now give me an example
Speaker 2: of where AI is a lot of hype.
Speaker 4: Okay, so this was a while ago. The CEO of
Speaker 4: Zoom said, oh, yeah, in a couple of years, when
Speaker 4: you have let's say you have multiple meetings to go to,
Speaker 4: You're not going to go to any of them. You're
Speaker 4: just going to send your digital avatar. You're going to
Speaker 4: send your AIU to each of You're gonna go to
Speaker 4: all the meetings, but you're not going to go to
Speaker 4: any of the meetings. Now, why would the CEO of
Speaker 4: Zoom say that? First of all, it's stupid. Yeah, really right,
Speaker 4: if he works for me, I'm going to fire him
Speaker 4: because if that's his goal, I don't want him working
Speaker 4: for me. But he works for Zoom. It just means
Speaker 4: that Zoom can host they can be the pioneers tech
Speaker 4: in that horrible technology and their stock goes up and
Speaker 4: blah blah. You know, his bonuses go up and blah
Speaker 4: blah blah. It's totally beneficial to Zoom. So I look
Speaker 4: at that, I give it the sniff test, and I go,
Speaker 4: this guy is hyping AI to ultimately hype his company
Speaker 4: and probably something they're working on. And on top of that,
Speaker 4: it's a really bad idea.
Speaker 1: Well why are so many companies so hyping AI?
Speaker 4: Money?
Speaker 1: Money in sect at the end of the day, right.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, you know, it's it's funny if you
Speaker 4: go to San Francisco and you drive around every billboard
Speaker 4: in the city and every billboard on the freeways leading
Speaker 4: into the city for fifty miles our AI companies. I
Speaker 4: don't think you can even buy a billboard around San
Speaker 4: Francisco today unless you're an AI company. We wouldn't even
Speaker 4: have the money to be able to do it. That's
Speaker 4: a clear sign of hype. I mean, it's money, and
Speaker 4: it's also frankly, I mean some of it's capitalism at work.
Speaker 4: It's wishful thinking. We're AI companies and we believe our
Speaker 4: own hype. We eat our own dog food, and we
Speaker 4: believe we're going to change the world. And oh, by
Speaker 4: the way, we also believe that what we're doing is
Speaker 4: really good for not only us but all of mankind.
Speaker 4: Because that's the nature of when you get hype yourself
Speaker 4: up on something, you'll believe anything. So I think these
Speaker 4: companies often believe what they're saying because they're surrounded by
Speaker 4: other people. You know, they're what do they call that,
Speaker 4: they're in a bubble. They're in a bubble of unreality.
Speaker 4: So nowhere they go is that unreality? Does anybody screaming
Speaker 4: at them that you know you're full of it?
Speaker 2: Give me an example of a company. And you've made
Speaker 2: different references to different companies through these different conversations we've had,
Speaker 2: But what would be an example of a company that
Speaker 2: you believe right now is really doing AI just right?
Speaker 1: Is there one out there?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I just and there's more than one. But I just
Speaker 4: saw an interview with the CEO of a company called
Speaker 4: Duo Lingo. It's a company that you know, makes an
Speaker 4: app that helps you learn languages. The CEO said, we're
Speaker 4: going to be an AI first company. But here's what
Speaker 4: he means by it. They asked him in the interview,
Speaker 4: how do you use AI, he said, oh, you know,
Speaker 4: I look for recipes. I use it for health symptoms,
Speaker 4: like you know, if I don't feel good when I
Speaker 4: wake up in the morning, and every now and then
Speaker 4: I use it to simplify emails. So that's dead on.
Speaker 4: He's experimenting with it. But here's the other thing he's done,
Speaker 4: and this is company policy and I'm literally quoting him.
Speaker 4: On Fridays, we're giving everybody two to three hours to
Speaker 4: just experiment. We have slack channels where people can share
Speaker 4: AI wins, and we've added a Slack channel for AI losses.
Speaker 4: He's just saying to people, I don't know what we're
Speaker 4: going to do with this, but I think it's going
Speaker 4: to be important. I need you to be good at
Speaker 4: this and tell me what it can do, but I
Speaker 4: also need you to tell me what it can't do,
Speaker 4: and that is, frankly, what we should all be doing.
Speaker 4: This guy is both skeptical but not dismissive. He's, you know,
Speaker 4: even in his personal life. He's not trying to make
Speaker 4: it change his life. He's using it occasionally. The simplify emails.
Speaker 4: That's probably about an appropriate use of AI today and
Speaker 4: tomorrow you'll use them for a little bit more and
Speaker 4: in ten years it might be really exciting and dramatic.
Speaker 4: I know I'm going exciting and dramatic now.
Speaker 2: I know I'm going off the reservation here a little bit.
Speaker 2: But before I let you go, I can't remember the
Speaker 2: guy's name. Maybe you'll know it, But one of the
Speaker 2: basic inventors of AI has become is largest critic.
Speaker 1: And is scared of it. Are you scared of it
Speaker 1: at all?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 4: You know, well, first of all, one of the guys
Speaker 4: who's who was big into this and is now really
Speaker 4: one of its big biggest critics is is Elon Musk.
Speaker 4: He both you know, he was one of the original
Speaker 4: people behind chat GPT and now he's one of the
Speaker 4: biggest foes of chat GPT. Now think about what I
Speaker 4: said earlier.
Speaker 1: Why.
Speaker 4: I mean, some of that may be philosophical, but some
Speaker 4: of it's probably about money too, So just keep that
Speaker 4: in mind. Am I afraid of it? No, I'm afraid
Speaker 4: of what people might do with it. I'm afraid of people,
Speaker 4: bosses and companies being stupid about it. And you know,
Speaker 4: laying off six hundred thousand people. I just read Amazon's
Speaker 4: laying off six hundred thousand people to replace them with robots,
Speaker 4: you know, and maybe that's not the best example, but
Speaker 4: just companies doing large, massive things that are destructive to
Speaker 4: them and they're loyal employees, only to find out that, oh,
Speaker 4: you know what has been cyclically said over and over
Speaker 4: again in the history of business in the last thirty
Speaker 4: or forty years, the best app ends up being the people.
Speaker 4: And I think we're going to discover that over and
Speaker 4: over again. AI helps people do their jobs better. It's
Speaker 4: not better than people.
Speaker 2: That's great stuff, Greg Devin, You're the best, my friend.
Speaker 2: Hope you have a great rest of your day and
Speaker 2: have a good weekend.
Speaker 4: Oh, by the way, I'm not really here. This is
Speaker 4: my aiut.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, well you know what, We'll keep calling your
Speaker 2: AI anyway.
Speaker 1: It's okay. It was good stuff.
Speaker 4: Glad to hear it. It's great to be part by all.
Speaker 6: Worth Financial and by RNL Carriers. On seven hundred WLW,
Speaker 6: The Home of the Best Bengals Copy Rocky.
Speaker 7: The Bengals lost to the New York Jets on Sunday
Speaker 7: by a score of thirty nine to thirty eight. Cincinnati
Speaker 7: defense continues to be quite frankly atrocious.
Speaker 1: The offense was far from perfect.
Speaker 7: We can nitpick some play calling and stuff like that,
Speaker 7: but they scored thirty eight points with Joe Flacco's quarterback.
Speaker 7: What is it like when a team has one unit
Speaker 7: that's really good or performing capably, like Cincinnati's offense, and
Speaker 7: one that's awful like Cincinnati's defense.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's really tough mode because you know the other
Speaker 8: side is going to start chirping. You know, I guarantee
Speaker 8: you Jamar Chase is making it pretty well known and
Speaker 8: not holding back on the fact that you know, they're
Speaker 8: at least doing their job and the defense isn't. So
Speaker 8: I guess that the one part of good news is is,
Speaker 8: unlike when the entire team's bad, the defense in this
Speaker 8: case takes it personal and they should, and that creates
Speaker 8: a little more sense of urgency. And you know, new
Speaker 8: players aren't going to show up tomorrow. But if that encourages,
Speaker 8: it's a little bit of shame, encourages that the guys
Speaker 8: that are on this defense right now to look at
Speaker 8: their playbook a little more, to watch a little more
Speaker 8: tape to understand where they're supposed to be. I guess
Speaker 8: that's a good thing. But you know, no new players
Speaker 8: are coming. They just got to try to find a
Speaker 8: way to.
Speaker 4: Get better.
Speaker 8: And if a little bit of embarrassment, a little bit
Speaker 8: of chirping from the other side, helps that, then so
Speaker 8: be it.
Speaker 7: Chicago Bears in town on Sunday for a one o'clock
Speaker 7: game at pay Corpse Stadium. You'll hear it live on
Speaker 7: seven hundred WLW with pregame coverage starting Sunday morning from
Speaker 7: the Holy Grail at nine am with Rocky Boyman a Bwick.
Speaker 1: Money Minute on seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 9: This is the Bloomberg Money Minute. PayPal has reached a
Speaker 9: deal to embed its digital wallet inside of chat EPT.
Speaker 9: Hundreds of millions of folks already use the artificial intelligence
Speaker 9: tool to find products. The new type will mean PayPal
Speaker 9: provides the payment technology to turn those searches into actual purchases.
Speaker 3: Checking on your Money.
Speaker 9: Stocks finished the day at an all time high yes
Speaker 9: the S and P five hundred sword one point two percent.
Speaker 9: This morning, futures are starting to see gains. Meta is
Speaker 9: launching disappearing posts for its Thread social media app. The
Speaker 9: company says the idea is to encourage more people to
Speaker 9: share unfiltered thoughts without fear they'll exist forever on a
Speaker 9: user's profile. Ghost posts, as they're called, will show up
Speaker 9: alongside regular ones in the main feed, but will vanish
Speaker 9: after twenty four hours. And it's apparently much easier to
Speaker 9: graduate from Harvard than it is to get in. According
Speaker 9: to a report by Harvard's Office of Undergraduate Education, around
Speaker 9: sixty percent of grades given in undergraduate programs are a's.
Speaker 9: According it's Onna Hope Bloomberg.
Speaker 2: Radio, Jeez, I should have gone to Harvard based on
Speaker 2: that sixty percent of the classes are handing out a's, Holly.
Speaker 1: Moses, I mean, Julie is fortting.
Speaker 2: You know, she just had AAA all the way through
Speaker 2: high school Xavier, whole nine yards, right, Julie, tell truth.
Speaker 2: Now you are pretty much a's across the bord. Am
Speaker 2: all right about that?
Speaker 5: I did really well in school.
Speaker 1: You're not answering my question.
Speaker 4: I will.
Speaker 5: You know, it's interesting about my college career though, if
Speaker 5: I graduated, and I graduated in three years instead of
Speaker 5: four because I wanted to train for the Olympics, so
Speaker 5: I knew I couldn't be in college, you know, and
Speaker 5: then also train. So I graduated from Xavier in three
Speaker 5: years and then moved down to Orlando and traded for
Speaker 5: the Olympics. So I did have a motivation to get
Speaker 5: good grades and get out of college real soon because
Speaker 5: I fell in love with trying to get into the
Speaker 5: Olympics instead. So it is a different story for our
Speaker 5: college education. Of course, my parents loved me because I
Speaker 5: got out of school in three years and I didn't
Speaker 5: have to pay for the fourth year there.
Speaker 2: We go there and and then you got to go
Speaker 2: to Florida and hang out for a while do all
Speaker 2: your training.
Speaker 1: I mean you you're even smarter out of school than
Speaker 1: in school.
Speaker 5: Well that's interesting about that, Tom. If I had to
Speaker 5: find a warm environment, you know, so it made the.
Speaker 1: Extra of course fun again. Yeah, I mean, who wants
Speaker 1: to run it? And Lord knows you've done it.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I you know when when I
Speaker 2: first met you, and you and I knew each other
Speaker 2: going all the way back to the mid eighties, late eighties.
Speaker 2: I mean, I remember you talking about getting up in
Speaker 2: the dead of winter, and I think you still do
Speaker 2: it now. Maybe you don't run as far, but I mean,
Speaker 2: how many days of your life have you had at
Speaker 2: four thirty five o'clock in the morning where you're going
Speaker 2: out and running eight ten twelve miles and it's ten
Speaker 2: degrees outside.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it does get kind of miserable here in the winter.
Speaker 5: And that was our topic when we were talking yesterday,
Speaker 5: about the fact that exercise is hard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is.
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, it's not like, oh great, this
Speaker 5: is going to be really easy. But if you think
Speaker 5: about it, if everything was easy, we'd never grow. And
Speaker 5: so all the good things in life, I think have
Speaker 5: come from a lot of struggle, a lot of challenge.
Speaker 5: And I'll put exercises up there. And what's interesting is
Speaker 5: every week we talk about all the benefits of exercise. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and I think I think there's two things I had
Speaker 5: of exercise in my life. That's love, my relationships, my friendship,
Speaker 5: and two asleep and three is exercise. Yet it's so
Speaker 5: hard to convince our brains to get out there every day,
Speaker 5: and I'm not going to It's hard for me too,
Speaker 5: It's hard for everyone, but it's part of being human.
Speaker 5: And I think once you realize you're not alone, Like,
Speaker 5: there's some real good reasons why exercise is hard.
Speaker 2: You know, when I was looking up this stuff last
Speaker 2: night knowing that this was going to be our topic
Speaker 2: today about exercise, and why we don't do it you
Speaker 2: say all the time, and you say to people it
Speaker 2: doesn't mean you're lazy.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: Basically you can break this into three major categories, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: perceived barriers okay, which might be a lack of time,
Speaker 2: how much does it cost to join a gym, access
Speaker 2: to the gym, right, psychological factors. We can get into
Speaker 2: all that kind of physical limitations. You know, maybe you
Speaker 2: got some chronic condition, some injuries, pain, whatever the case
Speaker 2: may be. So there are a lot of barriers out
Speaker 2: there for why we don't exercise.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and there's also the ones about you know, we
Speaker 5: are starting to compare ourselves. Instagram makes it look like
Speaker 5: everyone has add discipline and we don't. And then we
Speaker 5: have I think we've lost the fun too. Kids run
Speaker 5: because it feels good. Adults run because they should they
Speaker 5: should have, could have, would have. So you've got that
Speaker 5: whole mindset in emotion thing too. And I think that
Speaker 5: you know, we're not broken, We're not a problem to
Speaker 5: be fixed. I think if you start with the premise
Speaker 5: that you're already outrageously wonderful and start with that you've
Speaker 5: got all the gifts, and then try to find a
Speaker 5: way to grow, which means you got to get out
Speaker 5: there and push yourself through it. And you know, think
Speaker 5: about our world though we are built around sitting. I
Speaker 5: mean we have door, dash we have everything, elevators, we
Speaker 5: I mean, there's every reason the world is against us
Speaker 5: and trying to move. So what we have to think about.
Speaker 5: I think it's just not the instant gratification to know
Speaker 5: this is long term. I mean there's going to be
Speaker 5: a day in our lives where we can't move like
Speaker 5: we want to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm going through it right now. I Mean,
Speaker 2: this hip thing is just it's the first time in
Speaker 2: my life that I've ever had to live with just
Speaker 2: excruciating pain. I mean, I've never been in my life
Speaker 2: where this is and I got to figure out, you know,
Speaker 2: how we're going to address this thing. But man, I
Speaker 2: tell you, you know, it's like anything else when when
Speaker 2: you don't have to worry about it, you don't think
Speaker 2: about what other people are going through, right, But then
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, when you have it, you're like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, it's got to be terrible for a
Speaker 2: lot of other people, And all of a sudden you
Speaker 2: become so much more compassionate in other situations. But if
Speaker 2: you're able to do extras physically mentally, if you're able
Speaker 2: to do it, Julie, how do we get people to
Speaker 2: change their mind about getting out and doing it?
Speaker 5: Well, I think I'll never really be able to change
Speaker 5: people's minds, but I think that we can just get
Speaker 5: people to start. I mean your brain. Every single day,
Speaker 5: your brain's going to say something's more important. So don't
Speaker 5: aim for perfectionism and don't aim for comparison. I'm telling
Speaker 5: you you don't need an hour, thirty minutes, ten minutes
Speaker 5: something to get you moving. And the more you do it,
Speaker 5: even if it's fifteen minutes, you start feeling the benefits,
Speaker 5: the gratification. You start realizing this is long term, not
Speaker 5: short term. This you know it does take longer to
Speaker 5: feel better. And then remember, don't quit too early. I
Speaker 5: think we quit too soon. So I have this ten
Speaker 5: minute rule for all my students. It's like, if after
Speaker 5: ten or fifteen minutes you don't feel good and you
Speaker 5: are absolutely miserable, well, for goodness sake, find something else then,
Speaker 5: but don't quit too soon. I think that's the biggest
Speaker 5: mistake people make. They think, well, first of all, oh,
Speaker 5: I got to go an hour and then after ten
Speaker 5: minutes you give up. Now you don't have to go
Speaker 5: an hour and go fifteen minutes to start with that.
Speaker 5: And then a lot of times there's no accountability, no one.
Speaker 5: You feel like no one cares because we have no coach.
Speaker 5: No like back when you were in school, at least
Speaker 5: she had a coach and a team. But it's soccer something,
Speaker 5: and you had parents that drove you and picked you
Speaker 5: up and parents that cheered for you. So all of
Speaker 5: a sudden, we're adults. We've got no cheering, we've got
Speaker 5: no coach, we've got no one to say we're great.
Speaker 5: So I think the first the other thing, you have
Speaker 5: to be your own cheerleader. And I really think it's
Speaker 5: helpful to find a friend, someone that you enjoy spending
Speaker 5: time with, have something you're accountable to. Or maybe it's
Speaker 5: a class teaching yoga class at the Art Museum and
Speaker 5: the same people come every week and they love it
Speaker 5: and they know people in the class. But I have
Speaker 5: to say, it took the first class. It took the
Speaker 5: jump start to get you there. So if you think
Speaker 5: the getting started is really really hard, good because it is.
Speaker 5: That will be the hardest thing you do is.
Speaker 2: Starting, you know, because I think I think about people, Julie,
Speaker 2: let's just say you know, well, let's just say you
Speaker 2: know you've gone a long time, right, You're you're a
Speaker 2: mom of three. All you're doing is basically a glorified
Speaker 2: cab once they get to a certain time after you're
Speaker 2: coming off the time where you literally had to feed them,
Speaker 2: whether it be from your breast to all of a
Speaker 2: sudden having to make sure they have every single meal,
Speaker 2: and you're the one responsible and now all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: you're the cab driver going to sports, going to music,
Speaker 2: doing and so you've let yourself kind of go, right,
Speaker 2: Dad's the same way. Okay, they've been doing the same stuff.
Speaker 2: Maybe like they're white. They're going to work all day,
Speaker 2: they're coming back home, they're tired, they eat dinner and
Speaker 2: then PLoP right down in front of the tube, right,
Speaker 2: and then the next thing you know, you wake up
Speaker 2: one morning and you're twenty five pounds overweight and your
Speaker 2: doctor's telling you, hey, man, you don't want to get
Speaker 2: adult onset diabetes. Okay, so you say to yourself, if
Speaker 2: you're in that position, what would you say to somebody
Speaker 2: that says, man, I feel terrible. I've let myself go.
Speaker 2: I have got to do something about this, and do
Speaker 2: it now. What would you say to that person?
Speaker 5: First, you're going to be okay. So here's my thought
Speaker 5: is that life is seasonal, and when we're younger, we
Speaker 5: have you know, you're building a career, or you're parenting,
Speaker 5: or you have just big family things to think about,
Speaker 5: and that's okay, and we can get away with it
Speaker 5: for years.
Speaker 4: You can get away with.
Speaker 5: It for years and that's okay, But then you have
Speaker 5: to start looking at you enter another season of your
Speaker 5: life where you don't feel good and you're not a
Speaker 5: good role model for the kids, you don't feel as
Speaker 5: sharp on the job, you're not sleeping well. And someone says,
Speaker 5: you know what, the one of the biggest cures for
Speaker 5: all of that is movement. And someone says, here's the gifts.
Speaker 5: Are you going to open it? But it's the realization
Speaker 5: it's okay, it's fine to start twenty five pounds behind,
Speaker 5: but you know, if you don't start to stayble, then
Speaker 5: start tomorrow. And if you ski today, that's okay. But
Speaker 5: once you know you're on the right road and you
Speaker 5: know you're going to be okay, and you know that. Yes,
Speaker 5: seasons changed, and now your focus has changed. A lot
Speaker 5: of people are starting to become empty nesters. The kids
Speaker 5: don't need them as much. Well, here's your chance. Don't
Speaker 5: lose your chance and find what you love to do.
Speaker 5: If it's not running, maybe it's walking. If it's not pilate's,
Speaker 5: maybe it's yoga.
Speaker 4: Mate.
Speaker 5: So we don't make it complicated. I think that's the
Speaker 5: other thing too.
Speaker 1: Is no doubt.
Speaker 5: You know, you just have to open your front door
Speaker 5: and there it is. I mean, it's free. It is
Speaker 5: absolutely free to exercise. But if you want to complicated
Speaker 5: with gadget protein, dream membership, you know, your cold plunge, your.
Speaker 1: Hospitals, we go there, we go. Right, Yeah, we've.
Speaker 5: Been talking about this.
Speaker 1: There your spot on.
Speaker 2: Though it does you can make did complicate. I loved
Speaker 2: your example there. You can just walk out the front
Speaker 2: door to start. Now, there may come a time where
Speaker 2: you want to do the other stuff. That's fine, right,
Speaker 2: we've all been there, gym memberships, reletically.
Speaker 1: Whatever it might be.
Speaker 2: But you can start with just walking out the front
Speaker 2: door for fifteen minutes.
Speaker 5: You know something, you can't be brave if You've only
Speaker 5: had wonderful things happen to you. So if your bravery
Speaker 5: today is opening the front door and maybe walking up
Speaker 5: and down the street, good for you, you know so,
Speaker 5: And pretty soon you might be walking more. And then
Speaker 5: the next thing you know, you meet someone else walking
Speaker 5: and you walk with them, and the next thing you know,
Speaker 5: they convince you to go to the yoga class. And
Speaker 5: so it is contagious. But I'm never gonna say it's easy.
Speaker 5: But all the good things, if you look back at
Speaker 5: all the good things that have happened to you, Tom,
Speaker 5: they have all come with challenges, hardship, roller coaters. But there,
Speaker 5: here we are, we sit, you know, forty years later.
Speaker 5: We have known each other over forty years, and here
Speaker 5: we are. We're still talking and moving and laughing and
Speaker 5: finding the joy and the laughter in it all. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I think we're gonna be okay. Except for your kip.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that some other time. Juels, thank you
Speaker 2: so much for your time. You're the best. We love
Speaker 2: having you each and every week. Julius Fording, have a
Speaker 2: great rest of your Tuesday.
