Yeah. 24 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: And so we have a similar background, I guess, and 25 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: that we worked at fairly big radio stations in the eighties. 26 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. 27 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: And I was, like, you know, in my early twenties, 28 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,919 Speaker 1: and I got my first job and I was doing, 29 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 1: you know, producing commercials for the sales department, and I 30 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 1: was shocked at Christmas time when a pile of gifts 31 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: was on my desk from from every manager. Every single 32 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: manager gave me like a significant gift. Some of them 33 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 1: were worth hundreds of dollars, you know. One gave away 34 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: bottles of I think it was great Western champagne. And 35 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: at the time I'd only drinking Corbelle, you know, so 36 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: suddenly I was spoiled. Yeah, so I was. I was 37 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: really taken aback by it, by the generosity, and it 38 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: was exciting and thrilling, but at the same time, it 39 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: was intimidating because I do I need to reciprocate, you know. 40 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: It's like I can't afford to gift everybody else. 41 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,279 Speaker 2: Back, you know, So what did you do nothing? 42 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: Right? Well? That year, I did nothing. That the following year, 43 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: I you know, I yes, I was prudent. I'd give 44 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: gifts to my friends, my colleagues, and the pressure kind 45 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: of like every year you're you're under a lot of pressure. 46 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: You have to give an appropriate gift. Will they you know, 47 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: will they like it? Is? Do they need it? Yeah? 48 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: And that's I think a rudimentary reason that the holidays 49 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: is considered so stressful. So my very very close dear 50 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: friends who I'm friends with to this day, even though 51 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: that was all like forty years ago. When you're really 52 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,519 Speaker 1: really good friends with someone, you agree to not get 53 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: each other gifts at all. 54 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 2: You give the gift of not having to give a gift. 55 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: Right, You just absolve each other. It's like, take me 56 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: off the list of don't stress out over me. I 57 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: want to stress out over you, and and and we'll 58 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 1: just continue being good friends all year. 59 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 3: You know, you can spend that money on a meal together. 60 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 3: That's you know, take what you want to spend and 61 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 3: you can go to some fancy place. 62 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, but that also that happened. That's ongoing throughout the year, though, 63 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 1: isn't it. You go out with friends, it's like, yeah, 64 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: this one's on me. You know, you show your generosity. 65 00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I'm glad. 66 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 3: You brought that up a recent Do you do the 67 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 3: it's on me? Or do you split checks? What do 68 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 3: you do? That's this is a germane thing. Because it's Christmas, 69 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,679 Speaker 3: people go out. How do you roll with that? 70 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 2: Do you? 71 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: It's case by case. I just had a dinner with 72 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: a friend mutual friend actually, and he's having a hard time. 73 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: He's not making any money right now, he's living in 74 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: low rerent situations. I covered his meal. I could afford it, 75 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: and I thought it was the right thing to do 76 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: at that day. 77 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 2: But what if it's not a situation. 78 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 1: Like that another friend who is very wealthy, we split 79 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: it half and half. 80 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, And what about separate checks. 81 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: I don't do that. You know, what, if I'm going 82 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: to go out to eat, I'll get cash beforehand and 83 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: then just give them the equivalent in cash. I don't 84 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: want to make it a hassle for the wait staff. 85 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 2: I know. 86 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 3: I have a friend in the business and she says 87 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 3: she refuses. I think that her maximum is three or four. 88 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 3: Like if she gets a party of six and I 89 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 3: say che chick actually goes Nope. She just says no, 90 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 3: not doing it, can't do it.

We got some ideas 526 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 3: and you might be surprised to hear this from me, 527 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 3: but it seems like church it's a good place to 528 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 3: get the Christmas spirit. It's kind of pharmaceutical strength Christmas spirit. 529 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 3: You can definitely get it at a tree lighting ceremony 530 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 3: in a way. You can get a form of it, 531 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 3: but not like the church. And I'm not a very 532 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 3: religious person, as I mentioned before. I'm extremely interested in 533 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 3: theology and studying it, but I'm that's different from being religious. 534 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,919 Speaker 3: But and that's it. I think church is even if 535 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 3: you don't go to church at another time during the year, 536 00:27:56,200 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 3: if you need some Christmas spirit, go to church, and 537 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 3: maybe that's not right, Maybe that's maybe that would be 538 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 3: frowned upon. Say, hey, this person blows us off the 539 00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 3: entire year, needs some Christmas spirit, so shows up. Then 540 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 3: I guess I see that point. But I am getting 541 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 3: I am getting to a point here. I'm trying to 542 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 3: figure out what it is what you see in church 543 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 3: that is the Christmas spirit? What is the essence of 544 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 3: the Christmas Spirit? And that, having given it some thought, 545 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 3: I've decided that that is courtesy. It's genuine courtesy, like 546 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 3: it's more than politeness. It's a form of personal politeness. 547 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 2: That even that sounds wrong. 548 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 3: Maybe you can think of a better word, but for now, 549 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 3: I'm going to use courtesy, and so extrapolating. 550 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 2: Upon that, I. 551 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 3: Try to figure out how to extend the Christmas spirit 552 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 3: through a longer than Christmas. It does seem as though 553 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 3: at Christmas, for one day and one day only, people 554 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 3: are courteous. They seem to care about the well being 555 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 3: of others for one day, and everyone realizes that it 556 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 3: feels good. Everybody knows it feels good and feels right. 557 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 3: But after one day it's gone. There are a few 558 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 3: exceptions of course there are some people that are that 559 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 3: do this all the time. But I've noticed that the 560 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 3: Christmas spirit of which I speak is harder to come by, 561 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,959 Speaker 3: and so I've gone a little thinking about how it 562 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 3: can how it can be a little more Christmas spirit 563 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 3: adjacent during the year. 564 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 2: And if you if you think of it as a 565 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 2: genuine caring. 566 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 3: About how people feel, then something can be done about it. 567 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 3: And everyday courtesies. 568 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 2: Matter. There are little things that people do. 569 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 3: Instead of being negative and saying I hate when people 570 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 3: do this, I'm going to say you can extend the 571 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 3: Christmas spirit by doing these things. I'll frame it positively. Firstly, 572 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 3: and most importantly and most immediately is you could do 573 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 3: something starting tomorrow that would change the world for the 574 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 3: better in a big way. You could simply never speak me, 575 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 3: Never be mean. Just don't be mean, even if you're angry. 576 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 3: First of all, hopefully you've learned it took me many, 577 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 3: many years to learn. Never speak in anger. Don't do it. 578 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 3: It's a it's a lose lose situation. You're gonna end 579 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 3: up either losing your job, losing your friend, losing some money, 580 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 3: or having to go apologize. Just don't do it. That's 581 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 3: the right. There is a form of courtesy. Don't speak 582 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 3: in anger. If you need to get revenge later, well 583 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 3: that's another thing. It doesn't mean you have to be 584 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 3: stepped on. Just don't let them see you get mad. 585 00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 3: Don't get angry. And I noticed I like words, and 586 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 3: I noticed that the lose one's temper. You know, if 587 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 3: you're a construction person, you know about hammers and that 588 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 3: hammers are tempered steel. And if a hammer loses its temper, 589 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 3: it loses its strength. So temper really means strength. So 590 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 3: when you lose your temper, you have lost your strength. 591 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 3: You are weak. It is a weak thing to do. 592 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 3: So when you feel that flash of anger, and everybody 593 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 3: has felt that, the little voice, it's just this time, 594 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 3: it's justified. I need to tell them what I think 595 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 3: they got it coming. They need to know. Nope, when 596 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 3: you feel that flash of hot anger, don't just count 597 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 3: to ten, you know, count to ten days. 598 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 2: Think about it. 599 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 3: If it needs to be addressed, think about a constructive 600 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 3: way to address it. Well, get what you want and 601 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 3: not put you in a hole and not burn up 602 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:45,200 Speaker 3: your your your equity. And it's not that hard to do. 603 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 3: You can reduce your anger, angry responses that get you 604 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 3: in trouble by easily. 605 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:56,200 Speaker 2: So there's that next. 606 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 3: Online things to tear crated. It seems to me when 607 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 3: the pandemic got here. Don't know why, I guess. I mean, 608 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 3: maybe it was bad before that and I just can't remember. 609 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:14,280 Speaker 3: But online you can do this. Never be mean. 610 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 2: Always try to be courteous, even if it's somebody that 611 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:25,200 Speaker 2: you feel the need to argue with, maybe it's political. 612 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 3: Don't be mean. Don't perform an ad hominem or personal attack. 613 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 3: Do not attack, Do not say there you're ignorant. Don't 614 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 3: even say your idea is ignorant. Try as best you 615 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 3: can if you feel the need to, if you're a 616 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 3: hobbyist who feels the need to try to try that 617 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 3: thankless game of arguing politics, if you feel the need 618 00:33:56,080 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 3: to argue with what they say, have a better argument it. 619 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 3: Just do that if you feel the need, and let 620 00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 3: it go. And in a related strategy, just block people 621 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 3: who are awful. If someone attacks you with somebody's meaning, 622 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 3: block them. You do not need that in your life. 623 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 3: It will bring you down. It kills your soul. It 624 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 3: kills your soul to hear that, to be involved with it. 625 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 3: And let me tell you something, when you're mean, even online, 626 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,839 Speaker 3: a little bit of your soul dies. 627 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 2: The more the meaning you are. 628 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 3: You know, a really mean person has a soul like 629 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 3: a raisin, a dried up raisin. Don't do it, don't 630 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:48,480 Speaker 3: engage in it. You can feel your soul die when 631 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 3: you do it. If you are a person of yeah, 632 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:57,799 Speaker 3: if you are a reasonably good person. I know good 633 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:02,320 Speaker 3: as a a judgmental word. 634 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,840 Speaker 2: But still you know what I mean. So it's quite simple. 635 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 3: Never attack online personally and never allow it to be 636 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 3: done to you. Just block, don't engage, block, move on, 637 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 3: you know what. Right after this I'll talk to backing up. 638 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,320 Speaker 2: That was a little bit of how to have a little. 639 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 3: Bit more of a Christmas spirit like feeling throughout the year. 640 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 2: Always act as you would on. 641 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 3: Christmas online and in person, and I think you'll grow 642 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,880 Speaker 3: inside if you do.
