1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:02,639
Speaker 1: Second date up dated.

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 2: The best advice Brooke ever gotten radio. I know this

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 2: because Brooke mentioned it after she heard it at a

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 2: radio conference. But it was be your authentic self.

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 3: I hate that piece of advice. What else are you

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,239
Speaker 3: supposed to be? Just the you and it'll all work out?

7
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 3: Said no one ever. Okay, it doesn't actually work that way,

8
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 3: all right.

9
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 2: And that's Brook's authentic self right there, just showing her

10
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: anger and aggression, put it right out on the earth.

11
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 3: It could be your authentic self and make a name

12
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 3: for yourself. Is if you're a nepo baby, there's a

13
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 3: lot more work that is involved that does make you.

14
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: Okay, cut the music, cut the music, okay.

15
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 3: Remember just want me to go on about this because

16
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 3: it really shaps my heart.

17
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: We've got enough of the authentic you. I think the

18
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: same advice I would think would apply to romance though,

19
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 2: to just be yourself, right, I guess, because seriously, too

20
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 2: many people are putting up fronts when they're trying to

21
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: impress love interests on dates when actually it's probably a

22
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: lot better for you to just drop the act and

23
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: be who you really are.

24
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, meaning like for me, I wouldn't say I love hiking.

25
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,119
Speaker 3: Exactly when I go on one hike every ten years.

26
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: Yes, that's you sticking true to you.

27
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: And apparently that's what one of our listeners, Dirk, is

28
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: all about, staying true to his real self and finding

29
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: someone with similar interests and hobbies as him, which is

30
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: awesome to hear.

31
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: So, Dirk, welcome to the show.

32
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 3: Oh sorry about that hard intro there. I'm glad you

33
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 3: are who you are.

34
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: Do you believe her when she says that I believe that? No,

35
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: I'm asking, does.

36
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: Dirk believe you?

37
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 4: I believe you.

38
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 5: I do.

39
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 3: Okay, Jerk and I are on the same page.

40
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 2: He's terrified of you. So Dirk, let's just move on.

41
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 2: Tell us what's the name of this woman and where

42
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 2: did you meet her?

43
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 4: So I'm calling about a leady named Michelle, Okay, and

44
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 4: we met at a volunteer charity event.

45
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: Oh that's true.

46
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: I mean already you have some shared interest because you're

47
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: both there supporting the same cause.

48
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: Right.

49
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

50
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

51
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 4: It was the Young Republicans for Grassroot Change.

52
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: And that's good. Brooke, this is awesome.

53
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 3: I thought it was like a charity that is a

54
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 3: charity political movement. It was different.

55
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: Okay, Brooke, can you play.

56
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 3: Helping people in need? You know they're helping doesn't need grassroots,

57
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 3: that doesn't need any grassroots.

58
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: Okay, Brook is anti grass now.

59
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 2: So I'm sorry about that, Dirk.

60
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: Keep going. You met at this political party shared events.

61
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 4: Look, I was there doing some networking and that's where

62
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 4: I met Michelle and we started chatting, and I just

63
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 4: felt like an.

64
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: Action awesome, what do you guys do?

65
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 4: Just nothing out of the ordinary. I would say, you know,

66
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 4: we spent a few hours talking at the bar. We

67
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 4: talked about issues that we care about. You know, obviously,

68
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 4: you know she was going through some difficulties with her job.

69
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 4: You know, she's a little frustrated, and so, you know,

70
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 4: I try to give her sort of like an like

71
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 4: an impromptu you know, like a pep talk about I'm

72
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 4: mocking her in her greatness?

73
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,839
Speaker 3: Unlocking? Is that the last self help book you read?

74
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: Wow? Sound like it, right?

75
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 3: I do?

76
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: Like when I go on the internet and you scroll

77
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: and you see one of those speeches for like thirty.

78
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: Seconds, it's like you can do it.

79
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 4: Take on the day.

80
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, I can't. Really, I'm like, you don't

81
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: know me. It's so fake. In general, what a nice.

82
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: Gesture for somebody to do to someone who's clearly struggling

83
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: with their job, to like offer some words of encouragement

84
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 2: that must feel good for her.

85
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 4: I'm actually I'm a professional motivational speaker. That's what I do.

86
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 3: You were working while on your day head, Wow, did

87
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 3: she have the response you were hoping for?

88
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it was towards the end of the date,

89
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 4: and it looked like maybe she was just getting tired anyways,

90
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 4: and thinking about her job is never fun. So we

91
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 4: kind of decided to wrap it there, so I figured,

92
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 4: you know, i'd walk her.

93
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 3: So she called the date she wanted it to be

94
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 3: over after the motivational speech.

95
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 4: I don't think right after. I think it was just

96
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,040
Speaker 4: already kind of feeling like it's towards the end of

97
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 4: the night anyway.

98
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 6: Okay, Okay, I might have overdone it a little bit

99
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 6: because when we did go outside, we were walking to

100
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 6: her car and there was some kids on skateboards, you know,

101
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 6: and I try to give them some motivational advice.

102
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: The young on the fly, just shouting motivational quotes at them.

103
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 4: I said, like, you you are your own skate ramp

104
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 4: to success.

105
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 3: Oh God, all right up?

106
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,799
Speaker 2: In the back down again, A little surprised that didn't

107
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: run over and try and beat you up.

108
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: This was in the middle of the night.

109
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 3: But flip you the bird.

110
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: But how did you leave it with you? And Michelle?

111
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 4: Well, when I dropped her off, I gave her a

112
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 4: little keepsake.

113
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 3: Oh no, what did you give her?

114
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 1: Well?

115
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 4: I had written down some inspirational quotes.

116
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 3: Oh, can you share one of the things you wrote

117
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 3: down with her?

118
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 4: One of them was tomorrow is always bigger than today.

119
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 2: Oh I don't know what that means, but.

120
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 3: The sun will come out tomorrow.

121
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, Well that's a quote from a song. You

122
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: can't steal that. We're gonna get sued.

123
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: I mean that's a nice gesture to be, like, I'm

124
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 2: here to support you and help you out right.

125
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 3: Anybody did their job that much on a date, Like,

126
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter what job it's.

127
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: Like, that's a good point.

128
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 3: I mean, unsolicited advice is always a little touchy for people.

129
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 3: But I understand his sentiment. I think that he was

130
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 3: trying to do the right thing.

131
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 6: I think, yeah, brass her a little bit, because like,

132
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 6: how often do you meet someone who like is a

133
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 6: motivational speaker.

134
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's a time and a place.

135
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I might have been just a little

136
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 4: bit nervous, just went back to what I know how

137
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 4: to do.

138
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, if she says that's the reason, can

139
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 3: you turn it off next time?

140
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: But what can you stop being who you are?

141
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 2: You want to joke about a bad day and not

142
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 2: have to hear positive feedback.

143
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 3: He's like on. It sounds like he's on all the time.

144
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 4: And like I said, I was nervous. What did you

145
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 4: hear about that? Lady?

146
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 3: I understand that. I'm asking if you could be all relaxed.

147
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: Okay, maybe you should relax a little bit on him.

148
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 3: I mean he called to figure out what was wrong,

149
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 3: and that may have been we may think well turned

150
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 3: her off.

151
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: How long has it been since the date happened.

152
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,239
Speaker 4: It's been like a week and a half.

153
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,799
Speaker 1: Do you know if she read your motivational quotes?

154
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 4: I don't know. I told her to read them in

155
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 4: the morning, but she didn't read. I don't know. I

156
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 4: don't know.

157
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 3: Maybe she's just waiting for tomorrow to call you. Yeah,

158
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 3: tomorrow is always big, bigger. Yeah, you never actually get

159
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 3: to tomorrow. You know.

160
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: That could have been a little bit confusing.

161
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 2: To her, So maybe she'll pick up the phone and

162
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: we can clear it all up and motivate her to greatness.

163
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: Yes, we're going to ride the escape ramp to success

164
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: of the second date update.

165
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,799
Speaker 3: Don't get it very big it right.

166
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 2: After this hold on second date update, I was going

167
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 2: to read some inspirational quotes to motivate my co host

168
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 2: to have a great part too, really, but I'm not

169
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 2: sure they can take any more inspiration.

170
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 3: I have been over inspired.

171
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: All not surprised.

172
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,479
Speaker 2: After we heard from Dirk about his first date with Michelle,

173
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: where his natural self came out and his natural self

174
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: is being a positive motivational speaker. He tried to give

175
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: some encouraging words to Michelle about her job, which she

176
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 2: was complaining about. He shouted some affirmations at some skateboarding teens,

177
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 2: even handed Michelle a little piece of paper with handwritten

178
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 2: quotes designed to lift her spirits. And despite all those

179
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 2: good vibes and good intentions, Michelle has been avoiding him.

180
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 3: Oh maybe he forgot to put the last one call

181
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 3: me back as the motivational.

182
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: That is possible.

183
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 2: Sometimes you need to really spell it out, Dirky, didn't

184
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 2: put that in your motivational quotes.

185
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 4: That was not one of them.

186
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: Now, okay, maybe add it for next time.

187
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 3: Have you ever heard from other people in your life

188
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 3: like on a personal level, maybe you overdo it with motivation.

189
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 4: I'll be honest, I don't have a ton of friends,

190
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 4: so you know, I would say like that is not

191
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 4: something I've heard all that often. But a lot of

192
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 4: people also don't know that much about me, so yeah.

193
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 2: There's not a lot of time to make friends when

194
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: you're busy inspiring the world.

195
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 3: I don't know that we know a lot about you

196
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 3: other than the motivational stuff. Yeah, yeah, that's actually all

197
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 3: we know.

198
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: That's still a positive thing.

199
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 6: Like if a guy start going through a motivational speech,

200
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 6: you're not gonna be like, shut.

201
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: Up, right, he's trying some context. Hopefully not on a day.

202
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 2: I'm just praying that Michelle picks up the phone and

203
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 2: gets us some answers here, because he deserves that, right, Alexis, Yes, right,

204
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: did you.

205
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: Even listen to what I said?

206
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 3: There? Something we're calling her?

207
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, you go, let's style their number. Hopefully she

208
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: picks up here. We go, Hello, Hey, we're looking to

209
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: speak with Michelle.

210
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 4: Yes, this is Michelle.

211
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: Hey, Michelle I'm not sure if you're ready for this,

212
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 2: but you're on a radio show right now called Brook

00:08:58,880 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 3: annoyed sigh.

Speaker 1: We get it, and we're already awake. Yeah, may be sorry,

217
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: I know it's early.

218
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,840

00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 2: I don't know if you're familiar, but it's where we

222
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 2: try to help out our listeners who've gone out with

223
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,840

Speaker 2: what we know about it so far. Yeah, we heard

238
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,160

242
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

243
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,520

Speaker 3: at them, Yeah, something about the skate ramp of life.

247
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, what did you think about that?

248
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 5: I mean, he told me that he was like a

249
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 5: motivational speaker or something like that. But like, these were

250
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 5: just like random kids. It was kind of like all putting,

251
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 5: you know, at the end of the day that was

252
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 5: already kind of weird.

253
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they are skateboarding, so you could tell their

254
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 2: life's kind of on a doackboard traject.

255
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 3: Skateboarding is a valid hobby, just like any other hobby.

256
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 2: Okay, name one skateboarder who went on to do great things,

257
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 2: Tony Hawk.

258
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: Yeah what he's still he's retired, didn't do anything anyway.

259
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 2: Sorry, we're not getting sidetrapped with the values of skateboarding.

260
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: Back to Dirk and you, what did you think about

261
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 2: him yelling all the motivational quotes set them.

262
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 4: I mean, I get it. He said it's like his

263
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 4: job and stuff.

264
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 5: But like he said, he doesn't.

265
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 4: Do it that much.

266
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 5: I was like, yeah, you kind of do it. Was like,

267
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 5: I mean you already try to motivate me, and now

268
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 5: you're talking to like these kids that are just skateboarding.

269
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 4: And then he's like, I.

270
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 5: Only have like one client right now anyways. And I'm like, okay, well,

271
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 5: are you like coaching like a CEO or like what's

272
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 5: the deal. I'm like yes, And he was like I'm

273
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 5: the client right now. What. I was like, you have

274
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 5: one client? And he was like no, it's like me,

275
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 5: like I wake up, I talk to myself in the mirror,

276
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 5: like I record them. Like the motivational speeches are really

277
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 5: helping me.

278
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 3: So he motivates himself every morning, and he considers himself

279
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 3: his own client.

280
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 5: Yeah no, Like you know, I was like, I'm a

281
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 5: great client to myself right now.

282
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: And I'm like, what an ultimate client? That's ultimate job security.

283
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: You know that you're not going anywhere.

284
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

285
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was like it's fine. I was like I

286
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 5: get it, Like maybe you're just quirky or some like

287
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 5: I don't I don't know. And I'm always like, can

288
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 5: you just tone it down? And I'm like, he dropped

289
00:11:58,440 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 5: me off and like wrote a bunch of quotes down

290
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 5: for me when I was in the bathroom, and then

291
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 5: like I like just like he left and I just

292
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 5: sat there like, was I just like punked? I was like,

293
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 5: did I not understand what he was saying?

294
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: Okay, maybe you weren't reading the quotes the right way

295
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 2: and you need to hear them spoken directly by Dirk

296
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 2: because he is on the other line right now waiting

297
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 2: to talk to you.

298
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: Inspire. No way, that's how this works. Dirky there.

299
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 4: Yes, I love Michelle.

300
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: Oh hi, Dirk so business like.

301
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 4: It makes me a little sad to hear that you

302
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 4: didn't have a good time, and I want to.

303
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 5: Find do I not get it though? Like, are you

304
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 5: actually your own client?

305
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 4: Or am I confused? Yes? I am a motivational speaker

306
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 4: at the current moment, I am my only client.

307
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: But he like, what am I do with that?

308
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 2: I think maybe dirt, she's a little confused, because how

309
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 2: can you call yourself a professional motivational speaker if you

310
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 2: don't actually speak to anybody else except yourself, if you.

311
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 3: Don't get paid. I think that's a part of professional

312
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 3: You could be aspiring motivational speaker. That's a good Maybe

313
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 3: t you an aspiring motivational speaker.

314
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 4: Well I did. I did have two clients in the past.

315
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 4: They were paining clients, but they could not afford my rates. Oh,

316
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 4: which is why I had to drop them.

317
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 5: Okay, so you charge a lot on top of all

318
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 5: of this, but you can pay for your own rates,

319
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 5: like you can afford yourself.

320
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 4: I have a good deal works out with myself.

321
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: Okay, that's nice. Friends and family discount there.

322
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 3: Do you have another job? Uh?

323
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 4: This is currently my main focus. I am writing a

324
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 4: book about my experience.

325
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 5: Of coaching yourself.

326
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: What's the title of your book.

327
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 4: I'm writing two books. First book is going to be

328
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 4: called Starts with Yourself.

329
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: Starts with Yourself, and then.

330
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 4: The second book is if you can't say it to

331
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 4: the mirror, who could you say it to? And there's

332
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 4: no way you're real.

333
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: Why are you feeling so inspired by what he says

334
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: right now?

335
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 3: Else?

336
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 5: Can you not stop?

337
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 3: We kind of talked to Dirk about that already, like,

338
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 3: maybe tone it down a little bit, Dirk and show

339
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 3: her other sides of you outside of the motivational speaker,

340
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 3: part impressure in other ways, like who are you? You know?

341
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 3: Like what do you love to do? What do you

342
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 3: care about?

343
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 4: I love motivating people to be the best way.

344
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 2: Okay, well I'm pretty motivated to get off the phone now, Jeff.

345
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: I don't like that we're all giving up on Dirk

346
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: for trying to be himself.

347
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 3: But I don't think he's trying to be himself. I

348
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 3: think that's the problem, Jeff. He's trying to be a

349
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 3: version of himself that he wants to be. He's not

350
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 3: being who he is. Right Like, if you're on all

351
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 3: the time, you're not being your authentic self. That's the

352
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 3: title of my new book, really long title.

353
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 2: Well, Dirk, you have some competition in the literary world

354
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 2: coming up with Brook here. But I still like to

355
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 2: get you another date. I mean, I know this is

356
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 2: a long shot, but we would offer to pay for

357
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 2: a second date for you, Michelle with Dirk if you're

358
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: willing to give him another chance, and you.

359
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 3: Said you liked him outside of that, right outside of

360
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 3: the too many inspirations.

361
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 5: Let me ask this, do you guys think that you

362
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 5: would feel safe in a room alone with him at

363
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 5: this point after learning all this.

364
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 2: Like I say, you should ask that question to yourself

365
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 2: in the mirror.

366
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: Yes, like the second book.

367
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, look at you already read the book.

368
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 5: This is freaking not It's like, no, I'm sure I'll

369
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 5: read about him in the news one day, but I'm out.

370
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: Yes, one of the most inspiring leaders that this country

371
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: has ever seen.

372
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 3: I think he's the opposite of dangerous.

373
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't, Dirk, it's sounding like it's a

374
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 2: no from Michelle. Do you have any last words for her?

375
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 2: Anything to motivate her or us or our listeners inspire us.

376
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 4: It's okay, just look in the mirror. It starts with you.

377
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 3: Yep, I like that.

378
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: Okay, that's good.

379
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 2: So it wasn't the best match this time, Dirk, But

380
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 2: you keep at it, and there's definitely gonna be a

381
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: woman out there who appreciates a little bit of motivation

382
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 2: in their life.

383
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 4: I believe.

384
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 3: So, Okay, I think the key there is a little

385
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 3: Bittscoe come out to motivation. That's what we need to

386
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 3: leave with, Dirk.

387
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 4: Thank you.
