00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: What would you talk about on your on your podcast

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:16,440
Speaker 1: Firms Represents show. Well, we just said goodbye to Bethany

00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,599

00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: February six. Now we can't find her. No, no, she

5
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:23,600
Speaker 1: just ran down the hall. I bet she comes into

00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: a second so we can talk about her. Uh so

7
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,360

13
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: in the air. She changed her, she returned. She's back.

14
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 1: So wait, wait, you're doing a podcast. You don't work

15
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: here anymore. So you're a special guest. You're a special guest.

16
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: So what are you working on? What's happened since you

17
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: left the show? Traveled you traveled? The bathroom is back?

18
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: How is the wedding? The chef lati? It was amazing

19
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: or divorced now? So kind of a behind the scenes. Look.

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: We had a very intense show today. I mean it

21
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: was Bethany and all of the wonderful things she's brought

22
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: to the show. It was also dealing with everything going

23
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: on in South Florida and schools and gun violence. It

24
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: was about so many things today. Yeah, there's a lot,

25
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on. It's sort of a daze.

26
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,559
Speaker 1: Like looking back at the show, it's sort of hard

27
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: to remember it. I will tell you though, when anyone

28
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: ever asks me what are your favorite shows? I say,

29
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: shows like Today. And even though some of these shows

30
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: are very sad shows, what they are is they are

31
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: shows with very very clear definition. And it's there's a

32
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: satisfaction after doing a show like Today because it was

33
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: very emotional, but we did it. What do you think

34
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: about it? I thought it was I thought it was great.

35
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: I was really happy we were able to to talk

36
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: about the people who are reacting to Florida, who are

37
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: down in Florida dealing with it, um who are motivated

38
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: now for change, and you know, sort of the idea

39
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: across the country that like this is enough, we need

40
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: to stop having conversations and start doing something about it.

41
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: And I loved that aspect of it. Of course, you

42
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: don't want a tragedy like this to ever happen, but

43
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: if it has to, you want change to come out

44
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: of it. And I feel like we've been taking those steps,

45
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: not just as a show but as a country. Right

46
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: there you go. I think it was good. I think

47
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: it was important. So how how far can we go

48
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: with this conversation with you? Now? Now that you're officially

49
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: off the show? We can go as far as you want.

50
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a pretty damn open book, you are.

51
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: But you know, there's something that we we do on

52
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: the show, and uh, it's in order to be a

53
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: show for as many people as possible. We try to

54
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: walk down the center line as far as politics goes,

55
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: as far as belief systems go in this and that,

56
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: and so we may have strong beliefs either this way

57
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: or that way, we sometimes uh filter them in order

58
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: to you know, just keep everyone happy, you know. And

59
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: and and someone said, well, that's a we'll see way

60
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: of doing it. Well, No, we decided to take that

61
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: route because it's an alternative to what else is out

62
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: there in content you can listen to every day. We

63
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: wanted this to be a place for people to go

64
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: to listen that wanted to get away from all the

65
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: election stuff and all the left verses right, and and

66
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: I think we did a really good job, as difficult

67
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: as it was. But you know what if anyone bit

68
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: their tongue in this room during all of this. Bethany

69
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, she has no tongue left. She

70
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: had she gave herself a tongue ectomatic. That's why she's

71
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: she's done. She's like, we have no room in radio

72
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: for a woman with no tongue coming the clarinet. Well, so,

73
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: now that you're free and you're off, I mean, how

74
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: was it for you ever since the election into today

75
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: to sit on, sit hard on your beliefs and not

76
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: just scream from the highest mountain about what's going on? Uh,

77
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, there were some days where it was really tough. Um.

78
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: You guys know that I'm really passionate about equality, and

79
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: and there are some times where it's felt like equality

80
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: for people is not a priority, or that the word

81
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: equality is very triggering for some people and they feel

82
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: like equality means that others lose. And so when there

83
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: were stories about you know, women's rights for example, or

84
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: people of color trying to have equal rights, equal pay,

85
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 1: that kind of thing, we would get a lot of

86
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: response of people saying like this isn't something we want

87
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: to talk about, or you know, women need to shut

88
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: up and be quiet, or women have equal rights, that

89
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: why are they whining? Those are times when it's like

90
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: it was hard to bite my tongue. But I also

91
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: didn't want to alienate people. But you also don't want

92
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: to find yourselfself on the wrong side of history. So

93
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: you have to weigh this platform and and trying to

94
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: figure out what's more important, you know, keeping keeping listenership

95
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: and keeping people trusting you and happy, or potentially alienating

96
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: people with a belief that you have that's very strong.

97
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: It's it's it's been an interesting road. I must assume

98
00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: that people listen. Smarter people know where we fit on

99
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: the political scale, where we land. But I think with

100
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: this and in knowing that even people that don't agree

101
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: with our political beliefs, if they know where they are,

102
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: they still listen. And I think that's what this show

103
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: has been trying to prove, where you can have a

104
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: belief it's different than someone else's, but yet you can

105
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: still you can still get along and live live together

106
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: in peace. That's the hope. It is the hope. And

107
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: you know, it's been very difficult to do. It's been funny,

108
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: like to pull the curtain back a little bit. In

109
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 1: writing the news, I will on purpose not use certain

110
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: words in reporting a story because people will react really

111
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: strongly to those words. Um. I if if I can

112
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: use the word the White House instead of saying President Trump,

113
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: I will do it because people feel strongly one way

114
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: or the other about him. And I don't want people

115
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: to hear that word and immediately jump to conclusions about

116
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 1: what the story is about, or to get angry or

117
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: to get you know, I would try to steer away

118
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 1: from where it's like that, and and and reason being,

119
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, if I said something about President Trump

120
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: on the air, text messages, immediately say he's not my president, right, Well,

121
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: the thing is he's the president. I'm not saying you

122
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: like him. But you know, we're just doing a story.

123
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 1: You don't or or you know, because everyone's busy, we're

124
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: all busy in the morning, and so you hear you're

125
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,799
Speaker 1: sort of half listening to the radio a lot of times,

126
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: and so if you hear us say president Trump and

127
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: that's all you hear, some people will jump to conclusions

128
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 1: that we're supporting him, some people will jump to conclusions

129
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: that were attacking him, and so it's just it's sometimes

130
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: easier to just not use the name. We did a

131
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: great job. Thank you, Thank you. I I have done

132
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: my best, and and you've been incredibly helpful at helping

133
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: me figure out what that line was and in giving guideance.

134
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: You've you've been huge in that People don't know. People

135
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: just don't know what I was thinking about. Times when

136
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: there's something very polarizing and you stay down the middle.

137
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: But by not going against the grain or going against

138
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: say it's an apple and orange and you're saying, you

139
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: don't say I hate orange, people go, oh, he's an

140
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: orange supporter. You know, it's by it's by your lack

141
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: of putting something down. They assume that you're for it,

142
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: and that's not the case. You're just trying to apples.

143
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: Why apples about apple farmers? Yeah, they'll say, they'll say,

144
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: I know it's so clear Elvis likes tomatoes, and in

145
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: real life we know Elvis don't really like tomatoes. But

146
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: people will jump to conclusions and then get angry for

147
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: it and didn't do anything that it's all within them.

148
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with me, as you will know.

149
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: So let's go around the room. I mean, you know,

150
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: who wants to say something. This is an interesting podcast

151
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: because we're actually being us rather than being the people

152
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: you hear from. Look the people you hear from six

153
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: to ten, they are us, but at a whole different

154
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: elevated an elevation. I mean, we were injected with some

155
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: sort of something, some serum from six to ten am

156
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: East Coast time. But we're different now. We're a little

157
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: more laid back. And I kind of like this. You

158
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: know what you were saying earlier, Elvis, while you love

159
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: the show so much, And I was thinking about that too,

160
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: because when we come in during a normal show, when

161
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: there isn't tragedy or someone isn't leaving, you know, we're

162
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: talking about fun topics, the stories that might have happened

163
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: to you last week or five years ago, or something interesting.

164
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: I think this was a show where people were just

165
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: being in the moment and being real and speaking their

166
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: feelings as opposed to jogging their memory about something that

167
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: happened at wedding last week. Um, and that's a show

168
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: we rarely have only because we're trying to be positive

169
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: and fun. It was a very live show. Absolutely. It

170
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: was definitely a show for February. Yeah. Absolutely. The funny

171
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: thing I found in in stuff that happens where it's controversial,

172
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: like Brodie was saying, or you or Bethany, is that

173
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: I always in my career I've tried to get the

174
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: facts right just for the sake of getting the facts

175
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: right and hoping that people will make their own sensible

176
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 1: conclusion from those correct facts. However, people seem to always

177
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: find their side of things in those facts. And that's

178
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: the funny thing that I've found in doing this show

179
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: is we are We strive even if it goes against

180
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 1: what we believe to get those facts out there. Yet

181
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 1: people will still find a way to make it divisive.

182
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: I just I don't think you'll ever change that about people.

183
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: But I take pride, and I know everybody here does

184
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: in doing the best job we can. It's like reading

185
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: the first two sentences of an article and then right

186
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: away you know what the article is about, but you

187
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: didn't really read the body of the article. The article

188
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: you know there's a lot more to it. What's up

189
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: round head? So I'll tell you this much. So I've

190
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: been holding it back because you know, Greg t you know,

191
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: it's just very jovial and fun and invallible and all that.

192
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you this much. For the past two days,

193
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: I've been driving Trish nuts at home because here's what

194
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: goes on in my house at home, and she literally

195
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: wants to take a remote and just say and just

196
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: shut me off. I am so angry over one. And

197
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: what has happened in are them? When I'm angry because

198
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: I when it comes to politics, right, I am so

199
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 1: mad because I am under the the the under the

200
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: impression that nothing ever gets done. And everybody you know says,

201
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: you know, hopes and prayers and if we vote for

202
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: this person and we do this, we're gonna make a change.

203
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: But I tell you this much, God damn it, there's

204
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: been no change. I'm so mad and I can't stand it.

205
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 1: And I was talking to somebody yesterday and they said,

206
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: and I said, and I said, you know what, that's right?

207
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: When all the assemblymen and all the councilmen and all

208
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: the senators and blah blah blahs in this world, I

209
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: don't understand why we can't make some freaking real laws.

210
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: That's some real damn change. I've got two daughters that

211
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: go to school, and there's many of us that are listening.

212
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: They've got kids themselves, and I am so tired, so

213
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: tired of having to make sure that I go to

214
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: their rooms and hug them tight and get of them

215
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: kisses because it may be the last time that I

216
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 1: see them, and I don't want to live like that anymore.

217
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: Were you noticing that this is a ground there's just

218
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: a ground swell going on, right. I mean a lot

219
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: of a lot of people this time are adding this

220
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: situation to all the other ones, and it really is

221
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: making a lot of people mad. You're not alone in this.

222
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: So that's Greg Tindorf at home on the side of

223
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: the show. By the way, those senators and congressman that

224
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: you're talking about, they have kids as well, a lot

225
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: of them, so I don't to me. That baffles me

226
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: even more. They get money from lobbyists to vote a

227
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: certain way, then your own flesh and blood it is.

228
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: You know, we can't even talk about to answer Gregg's question.

229
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: We can't really answer that question. Some of us know

230
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: the answer to that question, but if we say it

231
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: will be attacked. Look, we said after Sandy Hook five

232
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: years ago, this is it. This line in the sand,

233
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: they shot little kids. Well, you know what happened. The

234
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 1: people that don't want the laws changed came out and

235
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: said Sandy Hook was a hoax that never happened. They

236
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: found a way to stop it. There's no way, will

237
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: never fix this problem until you actually research and see

238
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: what the real problem is and try to fix that. Well,

239
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: what leads back to what we're originally talking about here

240
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: on Bethany's last day, Uh, the the line that she

241
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: and all of us have have to we have to

242
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: walk because we do. I don't want anyone And this

243
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: is all great example by the way that you're hearing this,

244
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: This is really behind the curtain stuff. This is the

245
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 1: stuff we talk about Durnk commercially. You're you're hearing who

246
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: we are now that we have to filter and squelch

247
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: while we're doing the other show. And I and I

248
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: think you know you can read between the lines and

249
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: know that this is who we are. But this is

250
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: this is what? What's that? Why do we have to

251
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: squelch it during the show. Why does it have to

252
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: be two separate because a decision was made And it's

253
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: not because we want to hide from the facts. It's

254
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: not like we're in the closet and we're frightened for

255
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: someone to have an opinion. What it is is we

256
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: know that this show has always been and needs to

257
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: be a show where everyone can go, no matter what

258
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: their opinion might be, in order to have some fun

259
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: and begin their day. It's I hate to say, it's

260
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: almost the same as senators and congressmen who you know,

261
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: take lobbyist money and vote in a way they may

262
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: not believe. It's also good for business here, you know what,

263
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: we have a show I've got mouths defeed and looking

264
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: at all the families that depend on the show and

265
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: the revenue it makes. I'm not saying we're selling out.

266
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: We are not selling out, but we are providing a

267
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: place for many reasons that is not a controversial to

268
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: the left or to the right show. That's not what

269
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: we do. We don't come in here like a like

270
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: a Rush Limball, we don't come in here like a

271
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: Rachel Maddow. We're right in between because that's what that

272
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: is what is needed in the marketplace. But is that

273
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: a sellout? That's my question. People. People don't watch Modern

274
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: Family to cry. They watch This is Us to cry.

275
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: They go to Modern family, to laugh. Shows, entertainment movies,

276
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: there's a reason you go to them. You don't go

277
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 1: see Black Panther to be scared. You're gonna go to

278
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: see Black Panther to be excited and motivated and and

279
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: so our show is to make you laugh and think

280
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: and you know, but it's not. But what the things

281
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: you said. This isn't a politics show. There's a place

282
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 1: for that with a different This is a personal show.

283
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: So as we are giving everyone our personal lives, we're

284
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: not really giving everyone all of our personal lives. And

285
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: so that's that's where the where the problem begins. So

286
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: there you go. This is what you're walking away from.

287
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: It's uh yeah, it's it's weird. It's I'm really I

288
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: look back on, you know, the five and a half

289
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: years that I've been on the show, and I feel

290
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: like I'm really proud of the work we've done because

291
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: I feel like we have done work because people. I

292
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: think people see us as the friends who they can

293
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: talk to, and just by being ourselves and maybe getting

294
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: our little views in there every once in a while,

295
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 1: we are able to talk to people in a way

296
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: that doesn't make them defensive. And I think that that's good.

297
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: I'm proud of that. Do we make people happy? I

298
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: think so? Absolutely. Are we as successful in doing it?

299
00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: Yifteen minute morning show off
