He's everybody's cardiologist that knows me. 108 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 2: Because I'm a big believer in getting a baseline as 109 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 2: early as possible. Then if your numbers are off, you 110 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 2: can say no, no, that's always been my numbers or a 111 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 2: trending wrong. And Eddie said, how come Michael's never asked 112 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 2: you to be a show sponsor? And he said, well, 113 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 2: he mentioned it, and we talked about it, and he 114 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 2: decided it wouldn't be good. And Eddie said, what do 115 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 2: you mean and he said, well, he asked me how 116 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 2: many more patients could I possibly see, and how many 117 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 2: more patients what I like to see? And I told 118 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 2: him that we're at capacity and there's no way to 119 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 2: change that without bringing in more doctors. And I don't 120 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 2: want to do that because I want to see my 121 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 2: patience myself. And Michael said, I can't help you. And 122 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 2: we've never talked about it since. And that's true. If 123 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 2: you don't want to grow, which he doesn't, and that's 124 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 2: perfectly fine, then it doesn't make sense for us to 125 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 2: be partners. But I do love the fact that his 126 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 2: staff is so kind.

It's like you need 138 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 2: something from them. You're the patient, you're the client. He said, 139 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 2: I don't talk to my clients like that.

Like 316 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 2: they don't do anything, especially in big corporations. I see 317 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 2: this all day long. If I'm trying to get something done, 318 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 2: and I'll notice they got thirty people copied on the email. 319 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 2: There's a bunch of people who I think spend their 320 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 2: whole day being copied on emails. And then they go, man, 321 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 2: I hope and they're all making a quarter million dollars 322 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 2: and they're like, man, I hope nobody notices do anything 323 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 2: around here. How can I prove to oh, we didn't 324 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 2: have a meeting? And so they put they send out 325 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 2: those invitations and so they have teams. Well, team's call 326 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,239 Speaker 2: is probably not good because especially for Jeffrey Tuban, but 327 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 2: to teams, calls are not good because then you know 328 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 2: where they are. But in the old days, the conference call, 329 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 2: remember everybody had the same conference call system. What was 330 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 2: that called not plantronics. But it was that thing that 331 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 2: it was kind of like a like a Chinese star 332 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 2: like a boomerang. It had the remember like a starfish. Yeah, 333 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 2: And you'd put it in the middle of the table 334 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 2: and you'd put it on mute, and you'd all have 335 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 2: a conversation while somebody was talking and nobody was listening, 336 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 2: and then it would go quiet for a second and 337 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,359 Speaker 2: then go, oh, yeah, we're still here. We're still here. 338 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 2: We're still here. And that's what people do all day. 339 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 2: It's apt craziest damn thing. When I ran the stations. 340 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 2: This wasn't Eddie's fault. This came out out of San 341 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 2: Antone because at the time we were headquartered out of 342 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 2: San Antone, this was before iHeart bought us out private 343 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 2: equity bought the company own, and we would have meetings 344 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 2: that would be designed to increase revenues and increase ratings, 345 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 2: which ratings are stupid. The whole point is increased revenues. 346 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 2: But nobody would listen to me. Now they listen, and 347 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 2: so you'd be on this you'd be on this call 348 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 2: and they'd say, uh, what are you doing to do this? 349 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 2: This is well what I was doing before I had 350 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 2: to get on this call was doing things that were 351 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 2: generating more money, because that's what I do. I generate 352 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 2: money when I'm on this call with you. What I'm 353 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 2: actually doing is giving you the ability to show on 354 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 2: your schedule that you did something and then go write 355 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 2: a report about this call and send me your your 356 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 2: top three things you're keeping you up at night? What Yeah, 357 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 2: three action items? And then uh, do a was it 358 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 2: a swat? Do a swat on this and this and this, 359 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 2: and do a report on that. And then you're over 360 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 2: here submitting the reports. And it's the damnedest thing. It 361 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 2: would be like the general calling the infantryman in the 362 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 2: middle of the war and go, hey, come over here, 363 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 2: come back here and tell me for two hours what 364 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 2: you're up to up there. Well, well, what I was 365 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 2: doing was being in the middle of a war, and 366 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 2: now I'm back here talking to you. And I'll bet 367 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 2: you if you look through companies, this is what those 368 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 2: private equity guys do. They go in and start their 369 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 2: job when they walk in the door, is to figure 370 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 2: out who around here can be cut right now. And 371 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 2: that probably doesn't make me sound like a nice guy, 372 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 2: but I can walk into a business and within a 373 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 2: couple of hours of meetings and watching and listening to people, 374 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 2: the kind of comments they make. I can tell you 375 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 2: who should be cut and who is vital to the operation. 376 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 2: But the who should be cut? Yeah, first of all, 377 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,239 Speaker 2: if you got too low a handicap, if you're too 378 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 2: good at golf, you're out done. You play too damn 379 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 2: much golf. But that's how I developed my business. No, 380 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 2: it's not. No, I don't play a bit of golf. 381 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 2: You know how much money we generate, don't I can't. No, 382 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 2: I don't play golf. I don't go on hunting trips, 383 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 2: fishing trips, do any of it. It's a lot of fun, 384 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 2: it can cement a relationship, don't get me wrong. But 385 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 2: if you're playing too much golf, you're probably expendable. I 386 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 2: do believe that. If you're a person that's calling meetings, 387 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 2: you're expendable, no doubt about that. If you are a 388 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 2: person who is actually getting results, you hate meetings. I 389 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 2: can tell you a lot about people by whether they 390 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 2: like meetings or not. And in fact, sometimes I do 391 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 2: it just for kicks. A post on Facebook how much 392 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 2: I hate meetings, and I smoke them out because there'll 393 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 2: be somebody, there's always one to go. Sometimes meetings are 394 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 2: helpful Boom, got him and then you lure him in, 395 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,360 Speaker 2: or really like when well, you know, just to see 396 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 2: what everybody's working on. Oh well, I'm about to rock 397 00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 2: your whole world. I got this thing called electronic mail. Yeah, 398 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 2: we don't all have to come down here, because guess what. 399 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 2: The inefficiency makes me crazy. If there's a meeting at 400 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 2: eleven o'clock, some people are going to arrive at eleven 401 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 2: oh three. Some people were gonna get there early. Well, 402 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,240 Speaker 2: the meeting doesn't really start to the last person gets 403 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 2: there anyway, because you have to. Okay, so Wendy, come 404 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 2: on in and have a seat here. So what we 405 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 2: were just starting to get talked? Okay, so why did 406 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 2: we even start. It's lowest common denominator. The weak link 407 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 2: is when we start all those little things all and 408 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 2: then there's the awkward conversation, come on in, Hey, what 409 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,400 Speaker 2: do you'll anybody do anything interesting as weekend? Well we're 410 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 2: going to Oh we went, and you're twenty minutes into 411 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 2: that phone conversation, and I'm going crazy. If I wanted 412 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 2: to socialize, it would not be with you people. I 413 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 2: would socialize with uncle Jerry or Michael Robinson or my friends. 414 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,360 Speaker 2: This is not a friendly environment. Let's get it done. 415 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:52,600 Speaker 2: Boom boom boom boom boom. And if you look at 416 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 2: how much waste there is in corporation, if it's a 417 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 2: small business, look we grab ass around here. I'm not 418 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 2: gonna lie at eleve clock. In a few minutes, Emily 419 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 2: will come in. She might bring fried chicken from Randall's, 420 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 2: which Chad I have to give a Chad knock and 421 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 2: she credit he's one that first turned me on to 422 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 2: the to the souvid style they do. And you know, 423 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 2: we might get on the phone with Jim and start 424 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 2: talking about why Van Halen was so much better. But 425 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 2: that is Team BONDI. That is not anybody trying to 426 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 2: trying to pretend that they're busy. Yet, allow me to 427 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 2: introduce myself. My name is Mitch Michael Arry Genius. My 428 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 2: own brother called me at ten thirty six. 429 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 4: I just sent back Steve, I'm on the air. He's 430 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 4: gonna be so embarrassed because he didn't even think about it. 431 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 4: First of all, busted means you weren't listening. Secondly, I'm 432 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 4: on the air. 433 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 2: My ringer stays off but I had to pick up 434 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,239 Speaker 2: my phone to my wife, and when I did, I 435 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,479 Speaker 2: saw that there was a miscall and there it was. 436 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 2: So I'm seeking to shame him. And I also got 437 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 2: a message from Paul Murphy who said, hey, can someone 438 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 2: on your team send me a clip of you talking 439 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 2: about me? This morning? I'm getting lots of calls. Well 440 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 2: a busted. That means you weren't listening. Sometimes I mentioned 441 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 2: names because it's fun for me when people who are 442 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 2: friends but maybe don't listen that often when they don't 443 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,400 Speaker 2: realize that their nurse or their doctor, or their neighbor 444 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 2: or the cop that lives down the street or their 445 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 2: pastor listens to the show and they would have had 446 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 2: no idea to ever know that. So that's why I 447 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 2: randomly like to just mention names because it gives me 448 00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 2: a kick when that happens. I would like to say 449 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 2: I say thank you to a few show sponsors, because 450 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 2: that's how we stay on the air.

I really 455 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 2: didn't know how that was going to work. When Justin 456 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 2: White came to me and said, hey, I counsel people 457 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 2: on how you deal with Medicare. And what made me 458 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 2: think of this is I asked PAULA said, how old 459 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 2: are you? You know it's Paul Murphy's birthday. Used to 460 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 2: be chairman or CEO of Cadence and before that Amagy 461 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 2: Southwest Allied and he said, well, I'll put it to 462 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,919 Speaker 2: you this way. I'm Medicare eligible. So that's the silver 463 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 2: lining is that sixty five? It is right, he don't 464 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 2: look sixty five. Hard to believe my budd's sixty five. 465 00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,679 Speaker 2: But anyway, So when Justin White came to me and 466 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 2: he said, what I do is I counsel people who 467 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,439 Speaker 2: are on Medicare, are about to be on Medicare on 468 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 2: here's how, here's how this, here's how this works.

When I started helping my parents a 471 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 2: few years ago, I put their account online. They had 472 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 2: no idea that you could do this. I had to 473 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 2: explain to them, look, I'm going to get online access. 474 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 2: And then every day, I'll be able to check and 475 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 2: see because they still write in old fashioned checks.

You know that one has 521 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 2: been That one has been a mixed blessing because part 522 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 2: of it is I'm glad that I have a place 523 00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 2: to send people when they have prostate cancer. But I'm 524 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 2: also kind of bummed because every day I'm finding out 525 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 2: that somebody I know has a husband or father who 526 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 2: has prostate cancer. And I didn't realize how prevalent that is. 527 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 2: But I mean, I guess the good news is, you know, 528 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 2: with my parents being older, it's interesting. It's very interesting 529 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 2: for me that there are people whose whole life is 530 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 2: end of life stuff. Hospice companies, nurses, doctors, funeral homes. 531 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 2: Everything that goes into that is like if you you know, 532 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 2: when I find out somebody has died, I'll, you know, 533 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 2: I don't call them because I think people don't want 534 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 2: to be bothered, and but I'll send a text that 535 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 2: you know, I've kind of given them the impression like 536 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 2: you don't need to respond. I'm letting you know I'm 537 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 2: thinking about you. I love you. You know. This is 538 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 2: the thought. And I think to myself, imagine if all day, 539 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 2: every day, that's what you were doing, is dealing with 540 00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 2: people at the end of life. And I've said this 541 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 2: to my wife before and she says, yeah, but that's 542 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 2: their ministry. That's imagine how good you feel that you 543 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 2: can make other people feel good, and like, yeah, but 544 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 2: we tell fart jokes, like we debate how many times 545 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,200 Speaker 2: in the course of his life. Ramone has used the 546 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 2: term booger. We spent an hour on that when we 547 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 2: got off to the air the other day, Like, you know, 548 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 2: they don't do that at the funeral home ever, they 549 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 2: don't sit around. Ramone thinks he has mentioned the word 550 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 2: booger ten thousand times in his life. And Emily was 551 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 2: refereeing the discussion because I said, he's probably said it 552 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 2: a thousand times, and so we went through how old 553 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 2: he's been since he started using the term booger. Which 554 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 2: would have been five years old. That's what forty two 555 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 2: years in how many day? Fifteen thousand days? And then 556 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 2: he wanted to know if Boogie or boog or none 557 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 2: of that has been booger like, I'd rather do that. 558 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 2: I think I'm better suited to do what we're doing 559 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 2: then if I I mean, can you imagine if I 560 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 2: had to if I had to run heavy equipment all day? 561 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 2: Are we negotiating with Leslie Doggett over We're negotiating with 562 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 2: the heavy industrial equipment guys.
