This is a disturbing story. 6 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 2: Social media platform X appears to be a top site, Denise, 7 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 2: for creating images of people non consensually undressed by AI. 8 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. 9 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 4: And I mean usually when I see this kind of story, 10 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 4: I just report of yep, right, But this time I 11 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 4: read this story. I read it like three or four 12 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 4: times just to make sure I was reading it correctly 13 00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 4: and I wasn't missing something. Here's the story. Elon Musk's 14 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 4: X has apparently become a top site for images of 15 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 4: people that have been non consensually undressed by AI, as 16 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 4: you mentioned, with thousands of instances each hour. This is 17 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 4: according to Genevieve Oh It's a social media and deep 18 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 4: fake researcher. And this this report indicates Grock generated about 19 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 4: six thousand, seven hundred images every hour that were identified 20 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 4: as sexually suggestive or neudifying. Compares to only and I 21 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,759 Speaker 4: say only that this is still a lot seventy nine 22 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 4: new AI undressing images per hour on either other top websites, 23 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 4: which still even at a low seventy nine is obviously 24 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 4: still too much. But compared to six thousand, seven hundred 25 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 4: images every hour, if that report is correct, that's just. 26 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 3: Shocking. Yeah, totally, it is totally. 27 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 2: It'll be if Elon Musk gets directly involved in this, 28 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 2: I would imagine that he will. 29 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 3: Yeah. 30 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 4: Well, in the past he said he'd like to punish 31 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 4: the people who try to do things like that. But 32 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 4: this report that we have out this morning also says 33 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 4: that people have objected to X, and some say X 34 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 4: hasn't done anything to take them down. Now, these are 35 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 4: individual claims that those individual claims not investigated by Bloomberg 36 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 4: still looking into everything, but just a jaw dropper. 37 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 2: Is Meanwhile, if you're looking for a job, it could 38 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 2: be worth your while to become an auto dealer mechanic. 39 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 3: They are in need. 40 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 4: I mean, this is crazy. Ford says it's struggling to 41 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 4: fill what it calls six figure mechanic jobs. These jobs 42 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 4: for senior mechanics they pay something like one hundred and 43 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,679 Speaker 4: twenty thousand dollars a year, and Ford says it has 44 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:27,839 Speaker 4: five thousand mechanic openings at its dealerships amid a labor shortage. 45 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 4: You know, you do have to pay some money for 46 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 4: training to get into one of these jobs. When you start, 47 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 4: you might only get paid fifty eight thousand dollars a year. 48 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 4: But after two or three years, if you don't turn 49 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 4: your nose up at you know, jobs like taking out 50 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 4: the transmission or the engine, sure, fix the oil leak, 51 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 4: redo whatever, those are six thousand dollars jobs. 52 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 5: Right. 53 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 4: It's the dealership is making money on these. If you 54 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 4: don't mind that kind of labor, you can make a 55 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 4: ton of money out un trade schools. 56 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 2: They're going through the roof for reasons, just like this 57 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 2: that did. I had a friend of my son's in 58 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 2: heigh school. He just wasn't cut out for college, if 59 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 2: you will, went to a trade school. And I mean 60 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 2: this guy now is working for a building contractor. He's 61 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 2: making one hundred and something thousand dollars years twenty one 62 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 2: years old. 63 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, those are the other one framers, bricklayers and those people. 64 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 4: I mean they work their butts. 65 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 3: Ze, yes they do. Uh, okay.

And that's amid the events unfolding in Venezuela 69 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 4: with the Trump administration looking for a lot of Venezuelan 70 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 4: and oil to come to the US. Still some tension 71 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 4: over exactly how it's going to get their Chevron is 72 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 4: involved in. Those events are still unfolding from Bloomberg. I'm 73 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 4: Denise Pelgrinean News Radio seven hundred WLW. 74 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 2: Man, how about that one hundred and twenty something thousand 75 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 2: dollars of the year and they're looking for five thousand 76 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 2: people to fill those jobs. Steve Balco, you got to 77 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,560 Speaker 2: get some veterans in there to start doing that kind 78 00:03:59,600 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 2: of thing. 79 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 6: I'm telling you, because it's an unknown, it really is, right, 80 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 6: And I don't where do you see the advertisements? Are they? 81 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 2: Well, you know, we all of a sudden have a 82 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 2: group and I'm drawing a blank, and I feel terrible 83 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 2: that I'm drawing a blank right now. But I read 84 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 2: a story the other day of this huge school, for 85 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 2: lack of a better term, right up in Lebanon, the 86 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 2: Lebanon Monroe area up there, tens and tens of thousands 87 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 2: of square feet where they're teaching guys to do everything. 88 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 2: They had a big story about it the other day, 89 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 2: and of course we all know about, you know, some 90 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 2: of the tech schools here in town. And that's where 91 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 2: the friend of my sons went because he just he 92 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 2: knew he didn't he didn't want to go to college, 93 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 2: he didn't want to be opening books and you know 94 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 2: this kind of thing. So he went there got his 95 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 2: training while he was in high school, and he's been 96 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 2: working for a home builder and knocking it out of 97 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 2: the park. But that's why, that's not why you're here. 98 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 2: Always nice to have Steve Balco here. I tell you 99 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 2: of all the times we've gotten together from the Claremont 100 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,119 Speaker 2: County Veterans Association, we all the times we've been here. 101 00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 2: But looking over some of the notes that you and 102 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 2: Kenny Williamson put together to talk about today, I think 103 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 2: today might be one of the more interesting conversations we're 104 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 2: going to have because this deals directly with getting VA 105 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 2: healthcare benefits right and some of the misconceptions out there, okay. 106 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 6: And the misconception is either by the VA, the public 107 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 6: or the veteran themselves, all subjective to the party. 108 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 2: All right, let's start with here's one of them. Okay, 109 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 2: that you've heard before. You don't want to take medical 110 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 2: care away from other veterans. 111 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 6: False, right, it is as absolutely false, but it's rooted 112 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 6: somewhat in history. If we went back to your grandparents, 113 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 6: I think we're about the same age, Tom, They probably 114 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 6: as children or teens twenties, came through the depression, that's right, 115 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 6: and they were taught pick that nail up, straight in it, 116 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 6: throw on the bucket, grab that penny goes in your pocket. Right, 117 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 6: there is nothing wasted, everything is reusable, yep. 118 00:05:58,640 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 3: Right. 119 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,919 Speaker 6: Then they became such a self reliant part of community. 120 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 6: We went through World War Two, we had victory gardens. 121 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 6: It's do what you can sacrifice. Do without straighten that out, 122 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 6: reuse that that. When it gets to the point where 123 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 6: they need hearing aids. Now, at this age with their 124 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,679 Speaker 6: self self reliance, just turn up the volume on a TV. Well, 125 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 6: three apartments down are listening to your TV coming to 126 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 6: the walls. But yet I can still hear it because 127 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 6: I'm afraid if I take that pair of hearing aids 128 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,720 Speaker 6: for the VA, someone else is not going to get 129 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 6: their hearing aids, and they may need them more than 130 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 6: I do. But the fact is the VA, this is 131 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 6: the federal government. We need to think about it that way. 132 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 6: To develop budget, you need to have expense and if 133 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 6: people are not taking their hearing aids and or signing 134 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 6: up for healthcare with the VA, their budget is then reduced. 135 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 6: Try the VA location. So sign up for the healthcare, 136 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 6: Go get your services, Go get your hearing aids. Okay, 137 00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 6: hand in hand with that. 138 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 2: Really, veterans, there are many out there who believe that 139 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 2: you had to be injured in service or have service 140 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 2: connected disabilities to be eligible for VA healthcare. 141 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 3: Not true, No, no, not at all. 142 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 6: And it is a misnomer that there's this impression that 143 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 6: I have to take my medical records from active duty 144 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 6: converted into an issue and how it's impacted my life 145 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 6: and my capabilities today, and that turns into compensation and benefits, 146 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 6: and that's what the VA is only going to treat 147 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 6: me for. But you can, actually, as a veteran with 148 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 6: a D two to fourteen from active duty, can sign 149 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 6: up for VA healthcare just like you would a primary 150 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 6: care physician from someplace else. You may have a deductible 151 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 6: and that's based off your level of injury firm. Right, 152 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 6: so I'm at a If an individual's at fifty percent 153 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 6: or higher disability rating by the VA, your healthcare is 154 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 6: free from the VA. But you might be somebody that 155 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 6: nothing else. I mean, I got a cold on active 156 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 6: duty and that was it. There's nothing wrong with me. Well, 157 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 6: you might pay a twenty dollars copay, a thirty dollars copay, 158 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 6: no different than what you do out in town. Sure, 159 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 6: but you just need to sign up for healthcare and 160 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 6: you can have a primary care physician through the health care. 161 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 3: And that does not mean strictly with the VA. Hospital. 162 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 6: We have community based outpatient clinics. We call them Sea Box. 163 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 6: There's one on thirty two in Claremont over by our 164 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 6: church as well. And so this is where I have 165 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 6: outpatient care where I can do I test hearing AIDS. 166 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 6: I have a general physician in there that's doing my 167 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,719 Speaker 6: wellness checks for me, flu shots, blood analyzation, what have you? 168 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 6: So broaden your perspective, veterans on how you think about 169 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 6: the VA. 170 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 2: Okay, we've got three other ones here, all of them 171 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 2: very important. Some might say, well, look, I already have 172 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 2: private medical insurance. That has to disqualify then me as 173 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 2: a veteran from enrolling in the VA. 174 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 6: Again not true. Yeah, let's squash that rumor. So number one, 175 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 6: I have retired from active duty, so I have Tricare, 176 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 6: so I get health care for the rest of my life. 177 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 6: Turns to Medicare at sixty five. That's forced by the 178 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 6: government as everybody else is right. I also work for 179 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 6: the County of Clarmont, so I have County of Clarmont's 180 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 6: health insurance. I also have VA health insurance because at 181 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 6: my rated disability, the VA takes care of my health. Now, 182 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 6: the interesting thing is the VA wants to work in 183 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 6: concert with you. There's not a set level like if 184 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 6: Johnny reaches this point, then will help take care of them. 185 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 6: If you have a DD two to fourteen from active 186 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 6: duty the VA. You can even enroll online for health care. 187 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 6: It's whether there's a col payment amount or every service 188 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 6: is free to the VA. 189 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 2: Okay, well, you just brought it up about a lot 190 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 2: of people think, well, I can't sign up anywhere locally. 191 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 2: I live out in Claremont County. There's no way I 192 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 2: can sign up there. I have to go all the 193 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 2: way to Virginia to do that. 194 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 6: Right, I don't want to go to downtown CNT No, right, 195 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 6: VA dot gov. 196 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 3: And sign up for healthcare. 197 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 6: But there's also you know, sometimes there's there may be 198 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 6: a I don't talk in the capitalist sense, but if 199 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 6: I'm working for another employer out in town, okay, and 200 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 6: I'm getting healthcare through that employer, yep, well then I 201 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 6: can't get VA healthcare. 202 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,319 Speaker 3: That's a misnumber. Yes you can. 203 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 6: The capitalist side of my heart says, hey, mister employer, 204 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 6: I've got health care through the VA.

And here's the one 212 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 3: that that I found. 213 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 2: All of these I think are just so interesting because 214 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 2: I know there are so many men and women who 215 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 2: served our country out there. We talk about them all 216 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 2: the time and thank them for their service, who just 217 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 2: think some of these things just because the reasons you 218 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 2: mentioned a little while ago that there is a quote unquote, 219 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 2: here's another one waiting period following active duty before a 220 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 2: veteran can enroll in VA healthcare. 221 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 3: Again not true.

There is a. 224 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 6: The day after active duty you're eligible to sign up 225 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 6: for VA healthcare. And I would imagine while on active 226 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 6: duty in your last ninety days that you could submit 227 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 6: the paperwork that it's a seamless transition into the VA healthcare. 228 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 2: You know, you just brought up something that I think 229 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 2: is a nightmare for anybody. You don't have to be 230 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 2: a veteran for this, but paperwork. I mean, my god, 231 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 2: you know, and I'm curious. That's part of what you 232 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 2: guys do to help some of these veterans, right is 233 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 2: to NAT because man to navigate through some of Our 234 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 2: daughter just bought a car and she's going through it 235 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 2: for the first time. She got it yesterday. Some of 236 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 2: the paperwork just for that, I can't imagine what it's 237 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 2: like if you're trying to get into VA healthcare. Buying 238 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 2: a car is half a day of your life. It 239 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 2: was a half a day of her life yesterday. 240 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 6: It takes time, right, and to sign up for VA Healthcare, 241 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 6: there is a sequence, a synchrony, a matrix of how 242 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 6: you file for healthcare and benefits. And if you get 243 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,439 Speaker 6: it wrong, if you use the wrong form, if you 244 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 6: use an old form, the VA kicks it back. Use 245 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 6: your county veteran service officers. They know the current forms, 246 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 6: they know the routing, they have a direct link to 247 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 6: the VA. Everything we do is free for the veteran 248 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 6: and they know the proper process and who to call 249 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 6: if it gets stuck in the process. 250 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 2: Well, and you mentioned maybe two or three times ago 251 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 2: when we got together that you're actually bringing in more 252 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 2: and more people out in Claremont County that can help 253 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 2: specifically with many things, but things like that as well. 254 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 6: Right right, Yeah, we added a new service officer, so 255 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 6: we by twenty percent. We had four, we now have five. Yeah, 256 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 6: so which is phenomenal. We've hired new drivers. I had 257 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 6: to purchase a new vehicle, so we're up to a 258 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 6: fleet of five. Now we're shuttling upwards of one hundred 259 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 6: and thirty veterans a month, no kidding, door to door 260 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 6: service to the VA and back.

I mean, in some way, 265 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 2: it's sort of all tied together. But I'm just curious 266 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 2: of this because you know, as a layman out there, 267 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 2: I can read these articles about the VA is this, 268 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 2: and boy, it's in terrible shape there and we're not 269 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 2: treating our guys rights, so on and so forth.

Now. 398 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 2: When when you and I were texting back and forth 399 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,360 Speaker 2: last couple of days, we were thinking, you know, what 400 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 2: New Year's comes along, A lot of people make New 401 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 2: Year's resolutions, and I'd given some statistics about seventy nine 402 00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 2: percent of those that make a New Year's resolution making 403 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 2: New Year's resolue that does with their physical health. 404 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 3: Right, I'm going to get in better shape, all that 405 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 3: kind of thing. 406 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 2: But you and I came up with the idea that 407 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,920 Speaker 2: we're going to basically have a four week series each 408 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 2: and every Wednesday, starting today. 409 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 3: And you want to call this series what. 410 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 5: The me I want to be? 411 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 3: Okay? The me I want to be? Okay? 412 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 2: So we're going to head on four different areas in 413 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 2: each of the next four weeks of maybe where you 414 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 2: could start. So here's one that we're going to begin 415 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:35,120 Speaker 2: with today. I'm not too busy. It's just not a priority. 416 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 2: Let's start there. 417 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 5: Well, I think again, like you said, at the new 418 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 5: time of year, we come up with to do lists 419 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 5: and goals and things we're going to accomplish. But I 420 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 5: want to propose that there's something that can extend beyond 421 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 5: that and won't make you depressed in about a month 422 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 5: because you didn't do it. It's one outlook and it's one inlook. 423 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 5: And that first one is that we tell ourselves all 424 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 5: the time, I'm too busy. When's the last time you 425 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 5: went on a date with your wife. Well, we're so busy. 426 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 5: When's the last time that you got involved in your hobby. 427 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 5: I'm too busy. If every time you find yourself saying 428 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 5: I'm too busy, just swap that and just say this, 429 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,399 Speaker 5: it's not I'm too busy, it's just not a priority. 430 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 5: That's going to immediately either one affirm your decisions. That's right, 431 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 5: I'm not doing. For example, my dad gave up fishing 432 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,199 Speaker 5: for many years because he was a young dad and 433 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 5: he won't be involved as kids and so if you'd 434 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 5: ask my dad, you know, are you motorcycling these days? 435 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 5: And are you fishing these days? You'd say nope, I'm 436 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 5: right now, that's not a priority. Now once we left 437 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 5: the home, I can't get on my dad's calendar because 438 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 5: I was fishing. He's a motorcycle drive. But that phrase 439 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 5: is so helpful. If I told you, when's the last 440 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 5: time you and your wife and a date, and you said, well, 441 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 5: we're too busy, isn't a swap? It's not you're too busy. Yeah, 442 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 5: it's just not a priority. Then you're like, oh, then 443 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 5: I I don't want that to be true of me. 444 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 5: I want to rethink what I do because the same 445 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 5: people who tell you they're too busy will then just 446 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 5: talk about how they binge watched three Netflix shows sometime 447 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 5: this week and the staffs and howefin we're on our 448 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,239 Speaker 5: phone and on our iPads. It's pretty shocking. It's not 449 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 5: this too busy. We all get the same twenty four hours. 450 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 5: We all get the same number of minutes per day. 451 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 5: The question is how are you going to invest those 452 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 5: minutes and those moments to make them matter? And if 453 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,679 Speaker 5: you talk to my Gurbil growing up, he'd say he 454 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 5: was busy. You know, he's runn wrapped in that wheel 455 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,159 Speaker 5: all day. You're going to fill the time? The question 456 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 5: is are you filling with things that really matter? And 457 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 5: every day is a chance for you to inch closer 458 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 5: to the me you want to be? Instead of saying 459 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 5: I need to make radical shifts, giant shifts, big changes. 460 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 5: What are you going to do today to be a 461 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 5: little more joyful? What are you going to do today 462 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 5: to move a little closer to your priorities? What do 463 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,679 Speaker 5: you do today that's going to bring a little more 464 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 5: joy into your life? In fact, I think if you 465 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 5: think about your life this way, how do I fill 466 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 5: my life and not just that? How do I fill 467 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 5: today with things that matter? Just kind of an idea, 468 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 5: kind of in the sting glass perspective called kronos versus krynos. 469 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 5: We all get the same amount of kronos, that's chronological time, 470 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 5: But the really wise person knows how to redeem the time, 471 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 5: and a person who redeems time changes kronos into krynos, 472 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 5: which is opportunity. I'm driving in the car and I've 473 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 5: got my kids around. I'm going to try and take 474 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 5: this cronos time in the car and just have have 475 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 5: one meaningful conversation. Yeah, I'm going to try and when 476 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 5: sitting across for dinner, I'm gonna put my phone down, 477 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 5: I try and turn this cronos into krynos. And to 478 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 5: do that, though, you've got to really come against the lie. 479 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 5: And it's it's it's the plague of our of our culture. 480 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 5: We all love telling people how busy we are, but 481 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 5: it's actually partially true, and it's partially a lie to 482 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,439 Speaker 5: disguise why we're not prioritizing the things we know we 483 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 5: probably should. 484 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,199 Speaker 2: You know, I when you when you talk about, you know, 485 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 2: replacing that it's not a priority, and you gave the example. 486 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:55,400 Speaker 2: I mean, when you really start thinking about saying that 487 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 2: line out loud in a given situation, the one you 488 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 2: just said about going on a date with your wife, 489 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 2: you know what, what if all of a sudden, you 490 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,400 Speaker 2: know you I'm just sitting here, you know, thinking out 491 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,239 Speaker 2: loud that a lot of people, Look, they get they 492 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 2: get pulled hard from work all the time, right, and 493 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 2: they got to stay longer. 494 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 3: They got to do this. 495 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 2: Maybe they're going to miss their kids soccer game or 496 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 2: their kids recital or whatever. If all of a sudden 497 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 2: you say, not not just to somebody else, but the 498 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 2: impact it makes just hearing that, saying it to myself 499 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 2: that I'm not going to make this a priority getting 500 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 2: to my kids recital or sporting event. 501 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 3: Man, that stings a little bit. 502 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 5: Now, Yeah, but it's a good conviction. 503 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a very good one. Yes. 504 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 5: And you want to say, listen, there's plenty of grace, 505 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 5: and there's plenty of exceptions. Want to say, am I 506 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 5: characterized meaning more often than not doing the things that 507 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 5: I prioritize. There's always exceptions, there's always something to happen 508 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 5: this week. But am I characterized by my priorities? And 509 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 5: that can happen even in the midst of this real difficulty. 510 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 5: I mean, I was under the gun five years ago, 511 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 5: my walk that had two back surgery. I was a 512 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 5: full time caregiver for here plus my special need son, 513 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 5: plus I was working full time. It was not ideal circumstances, 514 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 5: and I was getting resentful and angry, and I had 515 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 5: thrown everything in the kitchen sink of trying to change 516 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,159 Speaker 5: this circumstance, and for whatever reason, it wasn't going to change. 517 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 5: I remember getting out my journal and grabbing my pen, 518 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,360 Speaker 5: almost like you're holding a knife, and almost like carving 519 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 5: the words into the page. I will not be bitter, 520 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,919 Speaker 5: and that stopped me from going in a bad direction. 521 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 5: And then a couple of weeks later I was able 522 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 5: to write I will choose joy. And that's the second 523 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 5: thing is besides changing your priorities and repeating that phrase, 524 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 5: what if this year you ruthlessly commit to finding joy 525 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,719 Speaker 5: in your current life, even with your problems, even with 526 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 5: your challenges. Most of us are living lives that are 527 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 5: envied by the world, that were chased by others, dreamed 528 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 5: about by kings. I mean, we have air conditioning, we 529 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 5: actually have some money in our pockets, we can actually 530 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 5: choose where we might eat today. These are enviable, prayed about, 531 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 5: dreamed about goals that most people in the world have 532 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,639 Speaker 5: longed for. And if you've never been on a mission 533 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 5: trip or been on a third world country, everyone that 534 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 5: goes on once says the same thing. I go down 535 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 5: to people who have so little, and I'm amazed at 536 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 5: how they can ruthlessly find joy in their current life. 537 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 3: What if all of us did that. 538 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 5: We all have things we want to tweak, things we 539 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 5: want to change things. We wish we could make better 540 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,199 Speaker 5: work on that, but you're as happy now as you 541 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 5: choose to be. And if you can't be happy in 542 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 5: this circumstance, I promise you you probably won't be happy 543 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 5: in the next er. 544 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, that's right, because you're always playing that 545 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 2: keep up with the Joneses kind of thing. And we 546 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,120 Speaker 2: talked about you know that from time to time. Let 547 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:56,880 Speaker 2: me let me walk you back for a second, when 548 00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 2: you talked about that timeframe that you went through. Okay, 549 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,120 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you know, you're going through these 550 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 2: really tough times and there's only enough chronos time in 551 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 2: the day. Correct to give me an example or people 552 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,119 Speaker 2: out there listening an example chat if you wouldn't mind 553 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 2: of something that you thought you couldn't give up, right, 554 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 2: and that once you said to yourself, no, this thing 555 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 2: with my wife or this thing with our son, whatever 556 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 2: it might be, that's going to be the priority today. 557 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 2: And maybe something you thought, boy, there's no way I 558 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 2: can walk away from this other thing. But then once 559 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 2: you did it, you realized it wasn't the end of 560 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 2: the world. 561 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, i'd say eternally for me internally, rather one 562 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 5: of my biggest priorities is independence. And so the fact 563 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 5: that I was basically handcuffed to my house, handcuffed to caregiving, 564 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 5: and again, yes, I want to serve, but it really 565 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 5: came against a core value of mind, which is independence. 566 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 5: And so I really had to wrestle with that, which 567 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 5: is in my desire to serve, need to serve out 568 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 5: wanting to have the priority is serving. I could feel 569 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 5: that tension like almost a rat caught in a trap, 570 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 5: which is like I just I just felt that, and 571 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 5: I had to say, this feels permanent. It's not permanent. 572 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 5: This is a season, and it's gonna be a hard season. 573 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 5: I don't even know. I'm not gonna say an arbitrary deadline. 574 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 5: I'd like it to be a week. It might be 575 00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 5: a month, it might be a year. But it's a season. 576 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 5: So during this season, I need to change my mindset 577 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 5: and so I am not going to have the flexibility 578 00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 5: that I had. And even when you know, we adopted 579 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 5: my son, you know, and found out he had special needs, 580 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,960 Speaker 5: it was an eighty year season, which is I need 581 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 5: to adjust my expectations, which is all right. I had 582 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 5: expected a B and C and now I need to 583 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,120 Speaker 5: say and thought joy only came from A, B and C. 584 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 5: Now I need to say it's gonna look like D, 585 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 5: E and F. But D and E and F. Though different, 586 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 5: doesn't mean I can't experience joy. It doesn't mean I 587 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 5: can't have a fulfilled life. It's just different. And for 588 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 5: many of us, we're so living for the expectation. Once 589 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 5: I get that degree, if only I had two houses, 590 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 5: if only I got that special vacation, if only I 591 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 5: get that job, and we have delayed joy. We have 592 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 5: we have pushed joy ahead of ourselves into some other 593 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 5: circumstance versus all right, right now, I've got to manage 594 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 5: my expectations and realize this expectation that I thought was 595 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 5: the end all I was the only way I could 596 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 5: find joy and happiness and gratitude. I began to say, 597 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 5: what can I in the next twenty four hours be 598 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 5: grateful about? Where can I take this not as a resentful, 599 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 5: obligatory duty bound serving, but how can I joyfully serve? 600 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 5: And maybe I can't have enough energy to think about 601 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 5: joyfully serving for a week. I can think about what 602 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 5: I can do in the next hour. 603 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 3: You know what I had year. You know I forgive 604 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 3: me for erupting. 605 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 2: You know, you know, something that sort of hit me 606 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 2: a couple of days ago, and I'm curious about how 607 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 2: how you would address this. I find sometimes that when 608 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 2: I put myself in that frame of mind, and I 609 00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 2: try to do it a lot, because I have a 610 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 2: tendency to start going dark. Okay, and maybe not dark's 611 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 2: maybe the wrong word, just not being as appreciative of 612 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 2: things that I have as I should be. But then 613 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 2: you start getting around, whether it's co workers, maybe it's 614 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 2: even your family, okay, where this kind of attitude has 615 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 2: been around you for so long that those you spend 616 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 2: a lot of time, well, let's say your family. Maybe 617 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 2: you're walking in the house and you want to walk 618 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 2: in with a sense of joy and with peace and happiness, 619 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, those in the house 620 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 2: they're not used to that kind of thing, and they're 621 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 2: not there yet either. 622 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 3: Does that make sense? 623 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, it's like Dad, what happened to you? 624 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 3: Right? Right? 625 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 5: But I want to be this is me we've never seen. 626 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 5: But I think over time you go, oh, this is different. 627 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 5: And honestly, have you ever been around yourself when you're negative? 628 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 5: Or are the people in they're negative? Yeah, there's kind 629 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 5: of this glue. It's almost like gossip. You're kind of 630 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 5: drawn into kind of negativity and the nihilism, but it's 631 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 5: pretty quickly hopeless and doesn't give a lot of joy, 632 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 5: and at some point you've got to get sick of it. 633 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 5: You're going to say, you know what, this is just 634 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 5: so not life giving. And I don't know if you're 635 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 5: into treasure hunters, but I love treasure hunting type of stuff, 636 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 5: whether it's like you know, the TV shows like The 637 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 5: Goony's Grown Up for the Movie's National Treasure, or you know, 638 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,000 Speaker 5: occasionally I try and watch Chris of Oak Island, although 639 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 5: I've given up after ten years. They've done anything. But 640 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 5: what if I told you that the next twenty four 641 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 5: hours your life is filled with treasures that you need 642 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 5: to discover, and you want to look at your life 643 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 5: like a treasure hunter and say, there's going to be 644 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 5: something to be grateful that's going to happen today in 645 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 5: a conversation with your colleague. There's going to be somebody 646 00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 5: you come in contact with who's got some way that 647 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 5: you can listen to them and it's going to really 648 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 5: make them feel heard. If you begin to look at 649 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 5: your life as there are hidden treasures to appreciate, to 650 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 5: be grateful for, to find. I think people are going 651 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 5: to notice because when you get around people who are negative, 652 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 5: it sucks the. 653 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,040 Speaker 3: Life, no doubt about it, and ourselves too. 654 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 2: Right, Yes, yes, guilty of charge. 655 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 5: You ever want to hang out with Mike seal up today? 656 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 5: Guess what the rest of the stone either. But what 657 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 5: if I you take your eyes off yourself? Right instead 658 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,240 Speaker 5: of saying but I'm feeling down, I'm feeling depressed, walk 659 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 5: into a room and say, how can I lift someone 660 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 5: else up? And the irony is one of the greatest 661 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,360 Speaker 5: way to get out of depression is put your eyes 662 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,000 Speaker 5: on someone else. So I think that's what I encourage 663 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 5: is to think of the new year two things, ruthlessly 664 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 5: commit to find, join your current life, and then radically 665 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 5: change your priorities by just repeating that one praise. It's 666 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 5: not that I'm too busy, it's just not a priority, 667 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 5: and then inch closer. I used to tell folks that 668 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 5: three times three times three is twenty seven, but four 669 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,400 Speaker 5: times four times four sixty four. If you want to 670 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,760 Speaker 5: improve your life this year from a twenty seven to 671 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,040 Speaker 5: a sixty four, double your joy, double your impact of 672 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 5: your marriage.
