I think about you all 29 00:01:27,857 --> 00:01:32,577 Speaker 3: the time, Buck, because there was a time and I 30 00:01:32,577 --> 00:01:34,177 Speaker 3: don't know it's maybe still the case for you, but 31 00:01:34,217 --> 00:01:37,857 Speaker 3: there was a certain time when you were doing so much, 32 00:01:38,377 --> 00:01:42,457 Speaker 3: so much stuff. It was crazy. And I remember talking 33 00:01:42,497 --> 00:01:44,297 Speaker 3: to producer Matt Over at the First and I was like, 34 00:01:44,857 --> 00:01:46,177 Speaker 3: it was when I found out that you were doing 35 00:01:46,177 --> 00:01:49,457 Speaker 3: another hour on the first TV and I was like, wait, 36 00:01:49,457 --> 00:01:52,497 Speaker 3: that's a different hour on top of the on top. 37 00:01:52,337 --> 00:01:54,017 Speaker 2: Of his other shows that he's doing. 38 00:01:54,217 --> 00:01:55,937 Speaker 3: So you, to me have always been the standard of 39 00:01:57,177 --> 00:02:00,137 Speaker 3: way too much work and like way too much stuff, 40 00:02:00,177 --> 00:02:01,817 Speaker 3: And I don't know how you do all that much stuff. 41 00:02:02,017 --> 00:02:04,617 Speaker 1: I've like chilled out a little bit since then. I 42 00:02:05,017 --> 00:02:08,737 Speaker 1: at one point my absolute peak, and any of my 43 00:02:09,497 --> 00:02:12,737 Speaker 1: dad bo I blame on on this period, I'm still 44 00:02:12,777 --> 00:02:16,297 Speaker 1: fighting it. My absolute peak was during the pandemic. I 45 00:02:16,497 --> 00:02:21,097 Speaker 1: was doing five hours of radio, two hours of the 46 00:02:21,137 --> 00:02:23,217 Speaker 1: first every day. 47 00:02:24,097 --> 00:02:27,657 Speaker 2: That's that's how could that possibly be? 48 00:02:27,657 --> 00:02:30,177 Speaker 3: Because that doesn't imply any show prep either, No, I 49 00:02:30,217 --> 00:02:32,737 Speaker 3: mean no prep for that. That's seven hours of just 50 00:02:32,777 --> 00:02:35,977 Speaker 3: talking straight content, no time to think. 51 00:02:36,297 --> 00:02:38,897 Speaker 1: I think it was technically, I think it was. Technically 52 00:02:38,897 --> 00:02:42,137 Speaker 1: it was three hours of solar radio. An hour of that. 53 00:02:42,217 --> 00:02:44,297 Speaker 1: I think we simulcast on the first, but then there 54 00:02:44,337 --> 00:02:47,217 Speaker 1: was a separate show on the first that I was doing, 55 00:02:47,577 --> 00:02:50,217 Speaker 1: and then two hours of local radio. Anyway, but we're 56 00:02:50,257 --> 00:02:52,617 Speaker 1: actually here, so so yes, was I a beast in 57 00:02:52,657 --> 00:02:54,777 Speaker 1: the work department for a while, That would be, that 58 00:02:54,777 --> 00:02:57,937 Speaker 1: would be true. But I wanted I wanted you to 59 00:02:57,977 --> 00:02:59,057 Speaker 1: tell me what do you think the most? Like we 60 00:02:59,097 --> 00:03:00,897 Speaker 1: got people tuning in to listen to the news and 61 00:03:00,977 --> 00:03:04,057 Speaker 1: what's happening in the world. So what's the most important 62 00:03:04,057 --> 00:03:06,537 Speaker 1: thing in Mike Slater's world today? Like, what is the 63 00:03:06,577 --> 00:03:08,577 Speaker 1: thing that you were most focused on? Can be news, 64 00:03:08,577 --> 00:03:09,497 Speaker 1: it can be something else. 65 00:03:10,137 --> 00:03:10,657 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll tell you. 66 00:03:10,817 --> 00:03:14,377 Speaker 3: Well, I'll tell you one kind of not newsy thing 67 00:03:14,417 --> 00:03:15,817 Speaker 3: and then we can bring it in the news world. 68 00:03:15,897 --> 00:03:19,257 Speaker 3: So every Monday, so I host My main job is 69 00:03:19,377 --> 00:03:23,177 Speaker 3: a host of BRep Art News Daily on Serious XM 70 00:03:23,217 --> 00:03:27,577 Speaker 3: Patriot every morning from six to nine, which is great. 71 00:03:27,577 --> 00:03:28,977 Speaker 2: I've been doing that for a year. It's awesome. 72 00:03:29,617 --> 00:03:32,457 Speaker 3: So every Monday at six it's five o'clock my time, 73 00:03:32,697 --> 00:03:36,537 Speaker 3: Central time zone. It's it's like hard to I don't 74 00:03:36,537 --> 00:03:38,737 Speaker 3: know what do you do at five am on a Monday, 75 00:03:39,177 --> 00:03:42,177 Speaker 3: You know, moping and kroggy and go. 76 00:03:42,417 --> 00:03:43,097 Speaker 2: Back to sleep. 77 00:03:43,937 --> 00:03:45,497 Speaker 3: Yeah, right, I mean like when you like hit it 78 00:03:45,537 --> 00:03:48,257 Speaker 3: hard with Israel Palestine, like I can't. So it's like 79 00:03:48,257 --> 00:03:50,537 Speaker 3: we gotta do something different every Monday. So we started 80 00:03:50,537 --> 00:03:53,137 Speaker 3: doing this gratitude segment. So we open up the phones 81 00:03:53,177 --> 00:03:54,617 Speaker 3: and it's a simple question, what are you grateful for? 82 00:03:54,977 --> 00:03:57,257 Speaker 3: But it's not just a time fill, it's actually really important. 83 00:03:57,297 --> 00:03:58,897 Speaker 3: So I think what we need to do to say 84 00:03:58,937 --> 00:04:01,177 Speaker 3: this country. It's not through policy, although of course we 85 00:04:01,217 --> 00:04:03,537 Speaker 3: need that. I think we need like a true revival 86 00:04:03,537 --> 00:04:06,657 Speaker 3: in this country. I think we need we need to 87 00:04:06,657 --> 00:04:09,417 Speaker 3: get back to virtue. We need we need, we need 88 00:04:09,457 --> 00:04:12,577 Speaker 3: more virtue this country individually and collectively. And it was 89 00:04:12,577 --> 00:04:15,817 Speaker 3: Cicero who said that the parent of all virtues is gratitude. 90 00:04:15,857 --> 00:04:17,617 Speaker 3: So it's the root and the foundation of all virtues. 91 00:04:17,657 --> 00:04:19,857 Speaker 3: So we can't have virtue. We can't save the country 92 00:04:19,857 --> 00:04:21,817 Speaker 3: we don't have virtue. And Cicero says, we can't have 93 00:04:21,897 --> 00:04:24,457 Speaker 3: virtue if we don't have gratitude, so we need to 94 00:04:24,457 --> 00:04:27,537 Speaker 3: work out our gratitude muscles and talk about things we're 95 00:04:27,537 --> 00:04:29,177 Speaker 3: grateful for. And then you as we've been doing that 96 00:04:29,177 --> 00:04:31,897 Speaker 3: for like two months or so, I've gotten better at 97 00:04:31,897 --> 00:04:33,697 Speaker 3: like being grateful for little things around me all the time, 98 00:04:33,737 --> 00:04:34,497 Speaker 3: which has been nice. 99 00:04:34,617 --> 00:04:37,617 Speaker 2: So we just we did today. It was Monday, and man, 100 00:04:37,657 --> 00:04:38,377 Speaker 2: we had an hour. 101 00:04:38,577 --> 00:04:40,257 Speaker 3: Usually we would do like twenty minutes or so just 102 00:04:40,257 --> 00:04:42,337 Speaker 3: to kind of get going, get geared up. 103 00:04:42,737 --> 00:04:43,297 Speaker 2: We did an. 104 00:04:43,257 --> 00:04:46,457 Speaker 3: Hour of people call in talking about some really really 105 00:04:46,497 --> 00:04:48,697 Speaker 3: important things, and for some reason, somehow we got into 106 00:04:48,697 --> 00:04:52,337 Speaker 3: this whole conversation about alcoholism and people who have been 107 00:04:52,377 --> 00:04:55,497 Speaker 3: sober for twenty years, two years who are now doing 108 00:04:55,537 --> 00:04:58,337 Speaker 3: awesome things in their life, and this theme about wives 109 00:04:58,497 --> 00:05:00,457 Speaker 3: that came up, and just people were grateful for their 110 00:05:00,537 --> 00:05:03,897 Speaker 3: wives who have not who haven't given up on them, 111 00:05:04,137 --> 00:05:06,577 Speaker 3: and who have stayed with them and fought for their marriage. 112 00:05:06,577 --> 00:05:08,537 Speaker 3: And it was a really, really wonderful hour that I'm 113 00:05:08,577 --> 00:05:10,577 Speaker 3: still sort of reeling from this morning, which leads me 114 00:05:10,617 --> 00:05:13,857 Speaker 3: to my next question for you. Because I'm not I 115 00:05:13,897 --> 00:05:17,337 Speaker 3: don't get interviewed, I'm the interviewer. How is your marriage? 116 00:05:17,337 --> 00:05:19,217 Speaker 2: Man? How's married life because that was one of the 117 00:05:19,257 --> 00:05:21,857 Speaker 2: pivot points. Wow, that was one of the pivot I'm at. 118 00:05:21,857 --> 00:05:23,537 Speaker 3: I'm going hard on you, bot because that was one 119 00:05:23,577 --> 00:05:25,177 Speaker 3: of your pivot points, no joke when you first got 120 00:05:25,177 --> 00:05:27,457 Speaker 3: married and I was like, I don't think he can 121 00:05:27,497 --> 00:05:29,777 Speaker 3: do all this work and be married. 122 00:05:30,097 --> 00:05:32,057 Speaker 1: Well, I do less work. I do less work now, 123 00:05:32,097 --> 00:05:34,137 Speaker 1: which I hope, I hope my uh, you know, my 124 00:05:34,257 --> 00:05:37,137 Speaker 1: various bosses don't hear that. But I'm not in the 125 00:05:37,777 --> 00:05:40,377 Speaker 1: in the all out My career is my life phase 126 00:05:40,417 --> 00:05:43,417 Speaker 1: that I was in for a number of years, which 127 00:05:43,457 --> 00:05:47,057 Speaker 1: I don't yeah, which I don't really and I don't 128 00:05:47,057 --> 00:05:48,697 Speaker 1: really recommend. I don't know what to say. I mean, 129 00:05:48,737 --> 00:05:51,057 Speaker 1: I kind of I love what I do and so 130 00:05:51,137 --> 00:05:54,337 Speaker 1: that made it easier. But I mean there were sacrifices 131 00:05:54,457 --> 00:05:58,017 Speaker 1: and as I look back now, you know, as somebody 132 00:05:58,057 --> 00:06:02,977 Speaker 1: who got married at forty one, would I do I 133 00:06:02,977 --> 00:06:05,337 Speaker 1: wish I had gotten married younger and started a family, 134 00:06:05,457 --> 00:06:07,857 Speaker 1: probably if I were just looking at the way that 135 00:06:07,897 --> 00:06:10,377 Speaker 1: life tends to work out for people and what I 136 00:06:10,417 --> 00:06:13,097 Speaker 1: sort of see happening around me. But I would also 137 00:06:13,937 --> 00:06:18,377 Speaker 1: put in the mix that you know, we do these 138 00:06:18,417 --> 00:06:21,737 Speaker 1: things as we can, and you know, each each one 139 00:06:21,737 --> 00:06:24,097 Speaker 1: of us has a pathway that we're making a lot 140 00:06:24,097 --> 00:06:26,537 Speaker 1: of Like you make all these considerations, you do all 141 00:06:26,577 --> 00:06:30,257 Speaker 1: this calculation as you go, and then you forget. I 142 00:06:30,297 --> 00:06:32,817 Speaker 1: think often what the calculations were in that moment, and 143 00:06:32,937 --> 00:06:34,897 Speaker 1: later things can seem like they're a lot easier than 144 00:06:34,937 --> 00:06:37,297 Speaker 1: they would have been at the time. That's a that's 145 00:06:37,377 --> 00:06:39,777 Speaker 1: kind of a hindsight is twenty twenty thing? Right, you 146 00:06:39,857 --> 00:06:43,057 Speaker 1: asked about marriage. Being married is great. My wife is awesome. 147 00:06:43,737 --> 00:06:47,617 Speaker 1: I'm much more productive. I don't mean that in a 148 00:06:48,897 --> 00:06:52,217 Speaker 1: necessarily in like a professional way, but just every day 149 00:06:52,537 --> 00:06:55,337 Speaker 1: is about being the best version of me that I 150 00:06:55,377 --> 00:06:58,977 Speaker 1: can be and supporting my wife and trying to build 151 00:06:59,057 --> 00:07:00,697 Speaker 1: and we talk about this is very openly, just trying 152 00:07:00,697 --> 00:07:04,017 Speaker 1: to build the best day to day life together that 153 00:07:04,097 --> 00:07:07,177 Speaker 1: we can. And you know, we're trying to start a family. 154 00:07:07,257 --> 00:07:09,337 Speaker 1: We have not been blessed with a child yet, but 155 00:07:09,377 --> 00:07:13,017 Speaker 1: we are certainly hopeful that will happen sometime this year. 156 00:07:13,737 --> 00:07:15,697 Speaker 1: You know, it has been about a year now, so 157 00:07:15,737 --> 00:07:20,017 Speaker 1: we're hopeful of that will happen. But being murdered is 158 00:07:20,457 --> 00:07:24,737 Speaker 1: being murdered is great, honestly, And you know, I don't know, 159 00:07:24,777 --> 00:07:27,097 Speaker 1: I highly recommend it. I can't profess to be an extra, 160 00:07:27,177 --> 00:07:28,657 Speaker 1: Like there's some things I've done a lot of and 161 00:07:28,657 --> 00:07:30,537 Speaker 1: can tell people. You know, I've been in the trenches, 162 00:07:30,577 --> 00:07:33,657 Speaker 1: like I'm a I'm a nube to marriage. So so 163 00:07:33,737 --> 00:07:35,737 Speaker 1: far it's amazing and I highly recommend. 164 00:07:36,657 --> 00:07:38,617 Speaker 3: I want to speak to that point one second, but 165 00:07:38,697 --> 00:07:40,257 Speaker 3: let me go back to one thing.

Though, may I may 198 00:08:57,297 --> 00:08:58,297 Speaker 1: I jump in here? I'm not sure. 199 00:08:58,337 --> 00:08:58,577 Speaker 2: I'm not. 200 00:08:58,617 --> 00:09:00,337 Speaker 1: You know, We're we're kind of interviewing each other here, 201 00:09:00,337 --> 00:09:04,377 Speaker 1: which I'm fine with, but I would just say the 202 00:09:04,377 --> 00:09:06,697 Speaker 1: the I don't like this. The older you can be 203 00:09:06,777 --> 00:09:10,577 Speaker 1: very old and very unwise and and lacking in knowledge 204 00:09:10,577 --> 00:09:12,537 Speaker 1: and virtue like that. So the older I get, you know, 205 00:09:12,617 --> 00:09:15,537 Speaker 1: the more I see, but the more I think I 206 00:09:15,577 --> 00:09:18,057 Speaker 1: do a crue life wisdom which does tend to come 207 00:09:18,097 --> 00:09:21,537 Speaker 1: with age. Right, those things are not always correlated or 208 00:09:21,737 --> 00:09:26,217 Speaker 1: but they tend to be the root cause of so 209 00:09:26,417 --> 00:09:36,057 Speaker 1: much bad stuff. Simplest way to put it, you know, misery, despair, divorce, 210 00:09:37,257 --> 00:09:40,257 Speaker 1: drug addiction and me go down. A lot of it 211 00:09:40,337 --> 00:09:45,657 Speaker 1: is I think rooted in narcissism and the debasement of 212 00:09:45,697 --> 00:09:49,657 Speaker 1: self that comes from people who, for whatever reason, and 213 00:09:49,697 --> 00:09:52,617 Speaker 1: there are many reasons, have focused on themselves so much. 214 00:09:53,417 --> 00:09:55,777 Speaker 1: And and I think that more and more people will 215 00:09:55,817 --> 00:10:00,257 Speaker 1: find and actually the the psychiatric literature is support is 216 00:10:00,297 --> 00:10:03,497 Speaker 1: more supportive this over time, that helping other people and 217 00:10:03,577 --> 00:10:08,697 Speaker 1: showing kindness has positive psychological benefits for the person who 218 00:10:08,737 --> 00:10:11,537 Speaker 1: does it, and the that when you focus on other people, 219 00:10:11,537 --> 00:10:14,497 Speaker 1: when you have responsibility for people, particularly your family and 220 00:10:14,497 --> 00:10:19,457 Speaker 1: those who matter, you tend to have a purpose that 221 00:10:19,617 --> 00:10:22,537 Speaker 1: gives you a sense of stability and a sense of 222 00:10:23,057 --> 00:10:28,537 Speaker 1: meaning that endures irrespective of the fortunes of finance and 223 00:10:29,737 --> 00:10:33,137 Speaker 1: life and health and all these things. But if your 224 00:10:33,137 --> 00:10:36,417 Speaker 1: life is about you know, I have a lot of money, 225 00:10:36,537 --> 00:10:38,377 Speaker 1: my wife is hot, I have a lot of friends, 226 00:10:38,417 --> 00:10:41,897 Speaker 1: I have a fancy car, I have Eventually, what you 227 00:10:41,937 --> 00:10:45,177 Speaker 1: find out is that that stuff one is transient is 228 00:10:45,417 --> 00:10:47,297 Speaker 1: ephemeral at best, as it is for all of us. 229 00:10:47,337 --> 00:10:50,657 Speaker 1: But also there'll be other things that happen that are 230 00:10:50,697 --> 00:10:52,777 Speaker 1: far more important than those things. And if those are 231 00:10:52,777 --> 00:10:56,817 Speaker 1: the things that motivates you, your foundation is weak when 232 00:10:56,857 --> 00:10:58,897 Speaker 1: the true challenges come. Do you know what I mean? 233 00:10:59,977 --> 00:11:00,817 Speaker 2: Do I know what you mean? 234 00:11:01,657 --> 00:11:06,457 Speaker 3: You mentioned the psychological literature on that. It's biblicalt too. 235 00:11:06,737 --> 00:11:11,017 Speaker 3: The Bible talk is all about dying to self, and 236 00:11:11,057 --> 00:11:13,457 Speaker 3: you can't be born again until you put off the 237 00:11:13,497 --> 00:11:16,617 Speaker 3: old self and put on the new self. And there's 238 00:11:16,657 --> 00:11:18,377 Speaker 3: that in a spiritual sense, but also that, you know, 239 00:11:18,777 --> 00:11:20,817 Speaker 3: just a normal day to day life as well. 240 00:11:21,097 --> 00:11:22,417 Speaker 2: You got you got to get out of your head. 241 00:11:22,777 --> 00:11:23,657 Speaker 2: You mentioned narcissism. 242 00:11:23,697 --> 00:11:25,457 Speaker 3: It's one of that's one of my favorite Greek visuals 243 00:11:25,537 --> 00:11:28,657 Speaker 3: is it was named after this guy, narcissist who couldn't 244 00:11:28,817 --> 00:11:31,817 Speaker 3: you saw this girl and you're like, uh, he didn't 245 00:11:31,817 --> 00:11:32,977 Speaker 3: find he wasn't in love with her, she was in 246 00:11:32,977 --> 00:11:34,617 Speaker 3: love with him. He was a love But he found 247 00:11:34,697 --> 00:11:36,617 Speaker 3: that his true beauty when he looked into the reflection 248 00:11:36,737 --> 00:11:38,537 Speaker 3: of the lake and it was it was it was 249 00:11:38,537 --> 00:11:38,937 Speaker 3: a reflection. 250 00:11:39,057 --> 00:11:39,577 Speaker 2: He just couldn't. 251 00:11:39,897 --> 00:11:41,857 Speaker 3: He just stared at it forever and then he died 252 00:11:41,897 --> 00:11:44,217 Speaker 3: because he couldn't eat any food or anybody. He's die 253 00:11:44,297 --> 00:11:46,177 Speaker 3: and it's like, oh, like, that's so much of our 254 00:11:46,217 --> 00:11:49,377 Speaker 3: world today is just narcissists. We literally have a thing 255 00:11:49,417 --> 00:11:51,857 Speaker 3: called the selfie, and I think we just like blew 256 00:11:51,937 --> 00:11:55,337 Speaker 3: past the idea that the word selfie was invented, and 257 00:11:55,417 --> 00:11:58,057 Speaker 3: like the front the front facing camera, that's like one 258 00:11:58,057 --> 00:11:59,777 Speaker 3: of the worst things that's ever happened in our lives 259 00:12:00,177 --> 00:12:01,897 Speaker 3: and it was just perfect for us, and that's going 260 00:12:01,937 --> 00:12:02,737 Speaker 3: to be the death of us. 261 00:12:02,737 --> 00:12:04,937 Speaker 2: There's no there's no doubt. Well, I want to die 262 00:12:05,017 --> 00:12:05,897 Speaker 2: to self I am. 263 00:12:05,937 --> 00:12:07,897 Speaker 1: I am guilty of having taken a SELFI or two 264 00:12:07,897 --> 00:12:09,777 Speaker 1: here or there with friends and I don't I don't 265 00:12:09,817 --> 00:12:12,137 Speaker 1: post like solo selfies, but you know, with friends or 266 00:12:12,177 --> 00:12:16,097 Speaker 1: something else and or yeah, exactly with doing the blue Steel. 267 00:12:16,457 --> 00:12:19,337 Speaker 1: But I would say that my criticism would be that 268 00:12:19,417 --> 00:12:22,537 Speaker 1: it's it's not the it's not the the act of 269 00:12:22,577 --> 00:12:24,537 Speaker 1: a selfie or the notion of a selfie. It is 270 00:12:24,577 --> 00:12:28,617 Speaker 1: the selfie culture that has been built around all of this, 271 00:12:29,977 --> 00:12:35,297 Speaker 1: whereby there is a a fixation with perception that exists 272 00:12:35,337 --> 00:12:37,577 Speaker 1: out there in the ether or out there in the 273 00:12:37,657 --> 00:12:41,057 Speaker 1: in the internet, and those people don't matter, you know, 274 00:12:41,457 --> 00:12:43,937 Speaker 1: likes clicks on the screen. And now we work in 275 00:12:43,977 --> 00:12:48,537 Speaker 1: a business where crowd approbation is uh, you know, the 276 00:12:49,057 --> 00:12:51,737 Speaker 1: it is how we make a living. So I'm aware 277 00:12:51,777 --> 00:12:56,177 Speaker 1: of that, but ultimately, for me, it's do people like 278 00:12:56,537 --> 00:12:59,777 Speaker 1: the work. I think there's a difference between do people 279 00:12:59,857 --> 00:13:03,057 Speaker 1: like the work product that you are creating and do 280 00:13:03,097 --> 00:13:05,097 Speaker 1: you just want people to tell you how pretty you are? 281 00:13:05,377 --> 00:13:05,537 Speaker 2: Right? 282 00:13:05,857 --> 00:13:08,057 Speaker 1: That's these are these are different things or they're they're 283 00:13:08,097 --> 00:13:11,617 Speaker 1: not the same thing.

So the two most important 339 00:15:19,577 --> 00:15:22,217 Speaker 3: women in his life betrayed him in profound ways. So 340 00:15:22,217 --> 00:15:24,137 Speaker 3: of course he went on to treat women like garbage 341 00:15:24,337 --> 00:15:28,057 Speaker 3: and and just went on to live this disgusting, this disgusting, 342 00:15:28,297 --> 00:15:33,497 Speaker 3: gross life that but was like heralded as the pinnacle of. 343 00:15:33,457 --> 00:15:35,777 Speaker 2: A man's life. It's like, oh that it was all 344 00:15:35,937 --> 00:15:38,577 Speaker 2: such and such a lie. He was miserable on the inside. 345 00:15:38,657 --> 00:15:40,697 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, I've seen that with him and certainly 346 00:15:40,737 --> 00:15:42,177 Speaker 1: a lot of people who are very wealthy and have 347 00:15:42,177 --> 00:15:45,017 Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of celebrity. I know it's a cliche, 348 00:15:45,097 --> 00:15:47,257 Speaker 1: but it's a cliche for a reason, right, I mean, 349 00:15:47,617 --> 00:15:49,817 Speaker 1: when something is true a lot, it's because it has 350 00:15:49,897 --> 00:15:52,417 Speaker 1: happened a lot and people know to be true. Hold on, wait, 351 00:15:52,857 --> 00:15:54,377 Speaker 1: you know, speaking of the business, I gotta pay some 352 00:15:54,417 --> 00:15:57,657 Speaker 1: bills and get to some of this sponsor stuff, like, 353 00:15:57,657 --> 00:15:59,377 Speaker 1: for example, I do love the Second Amendment.

The 436 00:19:28,977 --> 00:19:31,017 Speaker 3: thing we're gonna talk about on tomorrow show is this 437 00:19:31,097 --> 00:19:34,457 Speaker 3: new pepole. Just to tie it in today's conversation where 438 00:19:34,777 --> 00:19:37,337 Speaker 3: they asked Biden supporters and Trump supporters like different life questions, 439 00:19:37,857 --> 00:19:41,297 Speaker 3: and this one that was most concerning to me is 440 00:19:41,377 --> 00:19:44,657 Speaker 3: exactly what we're talking about. It was, is do you 441 00:19:44,777 --> 00:19:50,057 Speaker 3: consider here? It is is it good for society to 442 00:19:50,337 --> 00:19:55,337 Speaker 3: promote marriage and having children? It is it beneficial to 443 00:19:55,377 --> 00:19:59,497 Speaker 3: society promote marriage and having children? And it's like, obviously yes, 444 00:20:00,737 --> 00:20:03,337 Speaker 3: who's the person that says no? Only nineteen percent of 445 00:20:03,377 --> 00:20:08,377 Speaker 3: Biden voters say yes? Like what and but only fifty 446 00:20:08,417 --> 00:20:11,297 Speaker 3: four fifty nine per and a Trump supporter say yes? 447 00:20:11,537 --> 00:20:12,897 Speaker 3: Come out, people like what do you mean? Is it 448 00:20:13,497 --> 00:20:15,897 Speaker 3: good for society to promote marriage and children? 449 00:20:16,417 --> 00:20:17,297 Speaker 2: What are we talking about? 450 00:20:17,337 --> 00:20:21,737 Speaker 3: So We're gonna make some big picture political points about that, 451 00:20:21,737 --> 00:20:23,177 Speaker 3: because we are living on different planets. 452 00:20:23,177 --> 00:20:25,977 Speaker 2: Man, if we can't even agree on some of these basics. 453 00:20:26,297 --> 00:20:29,497 Speaker 1: Yeah, marriage and children, good stuff.

But you know, it 458 00:20:37,057 --> 00:20:40,017 Speaker 1: takes time, and Mother Nature has to do or the 459 00:20:40,097 --> 00:20:43,257 Speaker 1: Almighty has to do his thing, and and you know, 460 00:20:43,297 --> 00:20:46,297 Speaker 1: hopefully it all works out.
