WEBVTT - The Morning Show w/ Thom Brennaman -- 11/4/25 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:01.480 This financial titan. 0:00:02.120 --> 0:00:05.840 This is the Bloomberg Money Minutes on seven hundred ww 0:00:06.240 --> 0:00:08.319 all right, we say good morning to Gina Savetti from 0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:10.760 the Bloomberg newsroom in New York City. One of the 0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:16.680 major chain pizza restaurants, Gina continues to fall behind its competitors. 0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:18.680 Yeah, Tom, good morning. 0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:20.440 This is Pizza Hut. 0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:23.160 Everyone seems to have their favorite when it comes to pizza. 0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:27.200 It's a very competitive business, and Pizza Hut has fallen behind. 0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:30.479 Now its owner, Young Brands is reviewing its options for 0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:35.040 the struggling chain. Pizza Hut has underperformed others as competitors 0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:38.040 turn more and more to promotions. Domino's and Papa John's 0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:41.479 both reported growth in their North American businesses and their 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:45.440 most recent earnings reports, but Pizza Hut has reported seven 0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:47.360 straight quarterly declines. Tom. 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:47.760 Okay. 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:52.400 Meanwhile, Uber, on the other hand, firing on all cylinders, 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:54.240 just had a strong quarter. 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:55.720 Yeah. 0:00:55.720 --> 0:00:59.360 Recently we talked about Kroger expanding a partnership with Uber, 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:02.360 and today we're hearing from Uber that its efforts to 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:05.360 offer a broader range of services appears to be paying off. 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.160 It seems like they deliver just about anything now and 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:11.600 Uber just posted its strongest quarterly growth in a couple 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:15.759 of years. Customers ordered more rides and deliveries than expected. 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:18.880 Tom, all right, and the futures this morning, Gina. 0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:22.160 Well, they're still well into the red here. Sure looks 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:24.720 like a lower open today. Dow futures down almost three 0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:29.320 hundred points, SMP futures down seventy, Nasdaq futures down three 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:32.720 hundred and fifty five from Bloomberg. Gena Cervetti on News 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.000 Radio seven hundred WLW. 0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:37.720 Alrighty, it's eight ten. 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:42.680 It is election day all across this great country of ours, 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:47.080 and of course here in Cincinnati there are twenty six 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:52.280 individuals running for what would be nine city council seats. 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:56.560 Eight of the nine current city council members are running 0:01:56.560 --> 0:02:01.920 for reelection, and of course it's a Mayo decision day today, 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:05.520 where the incumbent have to have pure ball, is running 0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:09.240 against our guest who joins us now, the Republican challenger 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:13.280 for Cincinnati Mayor, Corey Bowman. Corey, I'd imagine you got 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:17.200 a a bright and early start today. What's your day 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:17.920 like today? 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.160 Tom? Well, first off, thank you so much for having 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:25.000 me to you and your listeners. We are at Salem 0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.880 Park Rec Center this morning. We've been here since the 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:29.919 polls open at six point thirty. I've been here with 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.800 Christopher smith Man, my good friend out here running for 0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:36.200 city council, and we've seen such amazing energy out here. 0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:37.680 But we're just getting the day started. 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:39.000 You know, I got to ask you. 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.560 I mean, look, this isn't something you haven't been asked before, 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:46.160 Corey Bowman, any Republican, not just you, any Republican. 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:47.600 It's not just a hill. 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:52.440 It's a mountain to climb in not only Cincinnati, but 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:57.480 virtually every urban city in America today. 0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:58.720 Has there ever been a point in. 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:00.959 Time as you've gone through this where you're like, man, 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.320 am I beating my head against the wall at all? 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.000 Well, it definitely has been an uphill climb. And you 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.440 said that it's a mountain. But you know, last time 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:12.440 I checked in the Bible, it says that we speak 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:14.760 to mountains, we're not afraid of them. Yeah, And we 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.600 love our we love our city and we are a 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:21.320 part of Cincinnati from a business perspective, from being pastors. 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.040 I'm raising my kids in the city, and this is 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.360 something that we care about deeply. And when we saw 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:30.040 what was happening the last four years specifically, we just 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.799 knew we couldn't sit by, and I will be honest, 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:35.200 at the beginning of the year, I just thought that 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.640 it was going to be a statement. But the momentum 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.520 this year has been unbelievable. People are waking up on 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.640 both sides of the aisle and saying, we've got to 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:45.320 vote outside of our comfort zone if we want to 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.600 be able to see change in our city, and we're 0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:49.160 going to see amazing results today. 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.040 What what where do you see that? I mean, what 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.240 kind of what? What can you share with us? Maybe 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:56.000 interactions with some voters and maybe they're like, hey, I've 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.360 always voted Democrat, so on and so forth. I feel 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:01.800 like things are not going the direction I want them 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.119 to go. Share with us, you know, some of those 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.800 interactions you've had now that we finally arrived on election day. 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.920 Yeah, well, I think what I'm hearing from the voter 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:15.400 is that they're tired of national politics being copy and 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:19.680 pasted into city hall. I see it as your glorified custodians. 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:22.160 When you're there, you're making sure that the money is 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:25.000 spent properly, You're making sure that the streets are clean, 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:27.560 taken care of and you're making sure that the streets 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.520 are safe through crime prevention. And that's not what we're 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:32.640 seeing with the city. So when you talk to people, 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:36.080 we don't start with I'm red, you're blue, I'm right, 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:39.280 you're left. We start with, Hey, this is our experience 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:41.120 in the city. What are we going to do about it? 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:43.480 And a lot of these conclusions that we come to 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.960 don't really have anything to do with the national political stage. 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.719 It has to do with just caring for the citizens 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:53.479 of Cincinnati. I've talked with Democrats, I've talked with independence 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:56.200 like my friend Christomas Smithment that's out here with me today. 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:58.680 I've talked with Republicans, and all of them see it 0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:00.919 as we've got to get back to the basics of 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:05.000 taking care of our public services, our public safety, and 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:08.120 making sure that it's not just a political stage for 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:09.359 a higher up office. 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:12.760 Give me an example, We'll give our listeners an example, 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:15.839 Corey Bowman, of something that you could do if you 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:19.479 were elected today as the next mayor of Cincinnati. What 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.839 would be let let's start with crime. What would be 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:26.240 the first or second or third things that you would 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:30.600 do to try and write this ship because it definitely 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:31.839 needs a new direction. 0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:35.560 Yeah, so you got to see it from long term 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:38.640 solutions and short term solutions, and the long term what 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:40.839 we're seeing on our streets right now has been the 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.839 culmination of bad policies when it comes to lax judges, 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:48.400 when it comes to understaffing with the police department, and 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:51.080 when it comes to their hands being tied when it 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:55.440 comes to enforcing even low level and preventative crimes. From 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:58.120 the top down, they're seeing that from city Hall that hey, 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:01.000 you can't really enforce this, can't really do this, and 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:04.040 a lot of these are de escalation tactics. So from 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.279 the start, you've got to start it off with we've 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:09.560 got to increase our staffing. We've got to increase lateral 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:11.960 hiring to make sure that our complement levels are up. 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:14.840 We've got to make sure that our officers feel secure 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.080 in doing their job and that they're going to have 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:19.920 the full backing of city Hall. And then you've got 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:21.760 to put pressure on the judges to be able to 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:25.080 hold criminals accountable. Now, in the short term, we just 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:28.960 saw a lot yesterday that Ohio State Patrol and our 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:32.880 package was on the city streets yesterday. But that is 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.680 one of only a couple days that is accepted throughout 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:40.200 the month. We need to accept the full package from 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:44.120 the Governor's office. Because I talked with public safety representatives, 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.640 we could have easily asked for help on Friday, Saturday, 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.600 and Sunday of this past weekend in Cincinnati. It's a 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:54.760 busy weekend, Halloween weekend. We have Bengals games going on. 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:58.000 We should have had help to bring our compliment levels 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.960 up to help our officers. Such help was actually accepted 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.719 by the city and because that we saw shootings and 0:07:04.800 --> 0:07:07.400 crime happen at record rates throughout the weekend. 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:10.960 You know, I got to you know this story and 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.600 Scott's loan is going to have the fellow on who 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:16.160 wishes to remain anonymous. But I know you heard this 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:18.119 story and you probably see it all the time, because 0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.200 you know, you live in the area right not too 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:24.520 far from OTR where this gentleman goes out. He wants 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:28.920 to take some video early on Sunday morning showing some 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.360 of the crimes or some of the trash, some of 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:35.600 the debris that's left around from this privy bar. And 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.040 they find a handgun, and they find a bunch of 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.680 blood on the street, and you're sitting there saying to yourself, 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:42.880 how is this going on? 0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:44.440 It seems like a. 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:49.720 Lot recently, Corey Bowman has been about politics in the town, 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:52.080 and yet the mayor's office has said, we never make 0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:56.360 any decisions around here based on an election or politics. 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.560 Well, that's all I'm hearing from the officers. The officers 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.040 that come into my coffee shop on a daily basis 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.240 say that all they deal with is political decisions from 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:08.400 the top down, and they just want to be able 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.960 to do their job. Republican cops, Democrat cops, independent cops, 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:14.640 doesn't matter. They want to just be able to do 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:17.120 their job. Now, one thing you got to see with 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:20.240 this is that that video of showing the debris and 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.720 to show what was happening on the street. Any department 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:27.320 that is twenty percent understaffed is going to feel like 0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:30.560 they're drowning with all the stuff that's happening in our city. 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.079 So I think that needs to be the emphasis right now. 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:36.120 It cannot just be emphasized during an election year. You're 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:38.600 seeing a lot of promises happening right now, but where 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:41.680 has this been for the past four years? So I'm 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.480 tired of people being in city Hall and elected offices, 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.840 and they only show up during election years. We've got 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:49.840 to hit the ground running from day one to be 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.319 able to help these situations become better in our city. 0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:55.520 All right, let me ask you this, how can a 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:59.920 Republican mayor work with what is certainly going to be 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:04.760 a slanted to the Democratic side. How much we don't know, 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:08.600 we'll find out later today. Christopher Smitherman, as you mentioned, 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.400 you're with him this morning. He's running as an independent, 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:13.920 certainly leans a little bit to the right. But how 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:18.679 can theoretically you as a Republican mayor work with a 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:21.400 democratically controlled city hall. 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.240 Well, one thing is I would emphasize that there, like 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:27.880 you said, there's twenty six council candidates, and many of 0:09:27.960 --> 0:09:31.880 them are great conservative and more moderate candidates, which is 0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.520 exactly what we need. You know, you have Liz Keating, 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:37.880 you have Gary Favors, when the Matthews. You have great 0:09:37.920 --> 0:09:41.280 people that are running for city council, even from the charterrights. 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.120 You have Steve Gooden. We can get strong council members 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:48.160 in I'm not intimidated by working with Democrats, to be 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.360 honest with you, Sometimes I even feel like an old 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:53.280 school seventies Democrat based on some of the things that 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:55.400 we stand for, but a lot of the things have 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:59.440 switched in the last years to where we've lost sight 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:01.640 of just help helping people, and we've off side of 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:05.600 just practical things. So whenever I have these conversations with 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:08.840 people on both aisle, both sides of the aisle, we're 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:12.200 actually able to have great conversations and we're able to 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:14.720 find common ground. And I think that if we elect 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:18.520 people that put people over politics, we're not going to 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.160 have a problem working together. We're actually going to find 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:24.079 solutions together to be able to bring our city up. 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:26.040 Corey, want to thank you for your time.

Call him today in 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:07.520 one aine hundred nine hundred nine to sixty five for 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:09.559 or visit Tri State Men's Health. 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:15.000 Lackey of the Bengals right now, statistically have a defense 0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:18.560 that's trending toward being the worst in the history of 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:21.880 the National Football League. Yeat Zach Taylor says he has 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:24.800 faith and trust in Al Golden, so those staff changes 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:29.000 are imminent. I can't even believe I'm saying that. What 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.240 options right now do the Bengals have on defense? 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:34.680 Of course, not a ton of great options here during 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:38.040 this season. Now, you could look to, you know, just 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.400 on a whole team level, we would look to trade somebody. 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.040 But who are you going to trade? You know, is 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:44.760 Trey Hendrickson your most valuable piece? What are you gonna 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:48.680 get from him? Right? I don't see that. I guess 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:51.800 you can't just keep rolling out the same guys for 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:55.760 another reason than perception, right, and just how that looks? 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:58.319 I mean, at some point, don't you just just search 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:01.320 the waiver wire, bring new guys in for workouts every 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:04.160 Monday and just try to see if you can catch 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:05.200 a diamond in the rough. 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:06.640 They gotta do something, don't they know. 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:09.600 Yeah, none of these options I've described are good ones. 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:11.559 I'm just saying, you gotta do something. He can't just 0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:13.760 keep rolling the same cast of characters out. 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.280 I'll be okay if they called you at this point, Yes, 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:18.920 I'll take anything. Try putting a twelfth guy on the field. 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:20.679 Try putting a thirteenth guy in the field if they 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.960 catch it. On one hand, I feel bad for Al 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:28.319 Golden who. I mean, look, the work he has done 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:32.240 in college has spoken for itself. But at the end 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:34.640 of the day, he took this job, and it's it's 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:36.240 not like we're asking for them to be the two 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:38.760 thousand Ravens. We're asking them for them to be slightly 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:40.960 better than the worst defense in the history of the sport. 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.120 And so far he seems incapable of doing that. 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.079 I agree, And I feel like at some point it, 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:47.560 you know, comes down to effort too. And I mean, 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:51.200 and if you're him and you see one one rep 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:53.640 of a guy where he's not sticking his head in there, 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:56.040 and he's not playing aggressive, he's not looking like he 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:59.400 wants to, you know, use proper fundamentals and make a tackle. 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.560 He's got to go at some point, some example has 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:05.960 got to be said that this is not acceptable, and 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:07.640 hopefully he's the guy that can do that. 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:10.439 Bengals don't play this weekend. 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:12.480 We'll see how many points the Bengals managed to give 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:14.480 up during their buy. Then they're back on the field 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:16.839 against the Pittsburgh Steelers a week from Sunday. That game 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:18.920 we'll kick off at one and you'll hear it live 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.360 on seven hundred WLW with Rocky Boyman. 0:14:21.720 --> 0:14:24.040 I'm Louwager. I just want to live questions. 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:27.760 Is the Bloomberg money Minutes on seven hundred WLW. 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:31.200 This is a Bloomberg money minute. Starbucks is looking to 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:34.480 improve its fortunes in China and hoping a local partner 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.040 will help. The coffee chain has agreed to sell a 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.960 majority stake and it's China business to a Chinese private 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:43.120 equity firm. Starbucks has been searching for a partner to 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:46.360 help chart its next chapter in that nation. Starbucks has 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:49.800 struggled in recent years, along with other Western companies that 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:51.920 have lost ground to local rivals. 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:52.960 It's looking like. 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.560 A rough day on Wall Street. Stocks are seeing losses 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:59.080 this morning with SMP futures down around one percent. Keep 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:01.600 in mind that stocks have served more than thirty five 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:05.200 percent since April, and the fight between YouTube and Disney 0:15:05.240 --> 0:15:09.560 over distribution fees continues to drag on. YouTube TV rejected 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:12.960 Disney's request to restore ABC to the online TV service 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:16.440 this election day. YouTube says adding back the channel for 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:21.360 the day might confuse subscribers. YouTube TV customers lost access 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:24.880 to Disney channels such as ABC, ESPN, and FX on 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:28.000 October thirty, first Cortney Donahope Bloomberg. 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:31.960 Radio Hight eight thirty eight on The Big One, Welcome 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:35.320 to the Morning Show, seven hundred WLW. We talk about 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:38.440 it all the time, the immense popularity of this segment. 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:41.920 We do it every single Tuesday with former United States 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:46.880 Olympia Julie Isfording, born and raised Cincinnati Gal. As we 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:49.640 like to say, I hope you're okay. You okay, would 0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:52.520 be referring to you as the Cincinnati Gal. Julie Isfording. 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:55.920 Yeah, I love the Cincinnati part. 0:15:56.160 --> 0:16:01.720 That's not crazy about Gal. It's okay, okay. 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.000 At least I get to talk to you every Tuesday. 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:04.400 Right. 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:05.520 Well, that's the lucky me. 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:10.440 Lucky me too, Lucky me because every time I talk 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:14.080 to you every Tuesday, you joining us this time, there's 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:15.840 a good chance I'm not getting enough sleep. 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:20.480 Yeah, that was a big It's a huge topic. It's 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:23.640 maybe the number one topic in America if you do 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:29.440 all your research. We're chronically sleep deprived. It's like a crisis. 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:33.760 You wonder why everyone's so angry and tired. We're just 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:37.520 not sleeping enough. And there's so many reasons for it. 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.480 You know, we've trained our brains to be alert twenty 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:44.520 four to seven. We're always on thanks to smartphones and 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:49.160 constant notifications. And how about just one more episode of 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:54.160 streaming and think about the stress we're under. Financial worries, 0:16:54.320 --> 0:16:58.800 job pressure, parenting, a lot of uncertainty right now. And 0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:03.880 so that's a body's stress response. So we're really really 0:17:04.080 --> 0:17:06.680 like just on high alert all I love. 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:10.119 I want to ask you this. 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:13.400 I want to ask you this though, because when when 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:17.440 you know, when I knew that I was having the opportunity, 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:20.480 thank God for it, to take this job. It was 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:24.560 going to require basically a one point eighty from my 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:28.920 prior life, working nights, going to bed at twelve thirty 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:31.239 one o'clock in the morning every night, because you got 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:34.520 a ballgame, it goes to eleven o'clock, and maybe I'd 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:37.480 get up at seven, but I was still getting seven 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:41.919 plus hours of sleep a night, okay. And one of 0:17:41.920 --> 0:17:45.000 the things that that I researched were people who were 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:49.959 sleeping less than what we're told we should get, and 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:51.400 there are a lot of them out there. I guess 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:53.480 what I'm asking you in a very long winded way 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:58.040 forgive me, is I guess each of us are bodies. 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:01.080 Will it ultimately tell us if or getting enough sleep? 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:04.240 Or or do we not even know it and we 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:07.399 just continue to keep on keeping on. 0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:11.439 God, that's a great question. It's kind of like what 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:14.880 happens when we don't get enough sleep. You ever notice 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:19.200 like you have brain fog, you're just like not with it, 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:25.040 or every your food goes down. How about a lot 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:27.879 of people gain weight. I mean, you're waking might not 0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:31.040 be because you're eating more, It's because you're not getting 0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:34.760 enough sleep, so your hunger hormones kick in. You don't 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:38.320 want to exercise, you don't have the energy. All your 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:42.040 energy is being used to keep you awake during the day. 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:44.720 And then you know, Tom, you know what I think 0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:48.359 is the worst? Like the saddest part of not getting 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:52.119 enough sleep. You're living half your life. You miss the 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:55.159 small stuff, the little miracles during the day. You know 0:18:55.240 --> 0:19:00.240 that opportunity to say something great to your kid or 0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:04.280 extend to kindness, or you don't hear that compliment coming 0:19:04.320 --> 0:19:08.240 your way, or you had this wonderful opportunity to thank 0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:12.359 someone and you just weren't there. It's like you've lost 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:15.760 your spirit. And I think that's the hardest one for 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:19.240 me or I you know, I'm not with it during 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:22.360 the day, or like this radio show, I always try 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:25.320 to get a little more sleep, you know, on Monday night, 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:28.680 because I want to do well. I want to say 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:30.359 the right thing at the right time. 0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:31.640 I want to be with it. 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:35.840 So to me, that's the hardest part. But you know, 0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:38.040 we always talk about how do we get fit, how 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:41.520 do we exercise, how do we I think sometimes we 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:45.480 have to do just sleep more. And it sounds funny 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:48.760 right to say do nothing, Like for us we think 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:51.720 sleep is nothing, but it's probably one of the most 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:56.200 important things you ever do. And people argue with me. 0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:59.040 They always say, well, I stay up late because it's 0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:02.360 the only me time I get. So I scrolled, yeah, 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:06.359 and people scroll and snack or binge just to reclaim 0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:10.080 control over their life. Where you know, it's just like 0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:11.880 when we are kids and you you know, you got 0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:14.320 your kids in early to read them a bedtime story. 0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:18.040 So can we go back to that, Yeah, you know 0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:21.800 that way, like you know, everything's a little bit easier 0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:25.040 in life. That email that wasn't meant to really hurt 0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:29.159 hurt you. You don't take personally that traffic jam doesn't 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:34.160 become a huge crisis. Can you see how like everything 0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:39.680 when you don't get to sleep, everything seems so much harder. 0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:41.760 Well, I think you hit the nail on the head 0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:44.840 about about you know, we hear all the time and 0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:47.200 I look, I've been the first guy to kind of 0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:52.159
