We had such an 59 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: amazing week of shows. And I think as showrunner, you 60 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: have such an interesting vantage point because you're not just 61 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: a part of the interviews as they're live, but you're 62 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: a part of putting the interviews together for weeks ahead 63 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: of time. What stuck out to you this week? 64 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's always so interesting to go in with a 65 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 2: plan and then to see how it all turns out. 66 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 2: I'll say for this week, for me, your conversation with 67 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: Brookes Shields was so fascinating because we knew she was 68 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 2: going to be talking about aging and what Hollywood has 69 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 2: done to her and her perception of aging. But hearing 70 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 2: her talk to you and Simone, you could really hear 71 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 2: it in her voice. You could you could feel the 72 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: gravity of what she was going through in the way 73 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 2: that she was talking. And that that was really fascinating 74 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 2: to me, because it's one thing to just read something, 75 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 2: that's another thing to like hear viscerally how it affects someone. 76 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: So I thought that was really incredible. 77 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: I so agree with you, and I hope it's okay 78 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: to say I almost felt the trauma in her voice 79 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: that the Lord visceral is so spot on. And you know, 80 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: since our interview, she's done other interviews that have come 81 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: out with some pretty shocking information about things that doctors 82 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: have done to her and how she feels about sex. 83 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: Like she's really candid and she's just kind of saying 84 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: the quiet part out loud. 85 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 3: Yeah. 86 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: I was also so enthralled by your conversation with kap Ohannan. 87 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 2: She literally wrote the book on women's roles and evolution 88 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 2: and had some mind blowing facts about the female body. 89 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 2: I personally had no idea that the composition of a 90 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 2: mother's breast milk changes when a baby was sick or 91 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 2: stressed like that, to me was mind blowing. 92 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: I was awestruck by it, and she debunked so many myths. 93 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I should know this, but I think I didn't, 94 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: and was reminded that the way that we see evolution 95 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: is so much through the male lens while we're shouting 96 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 1: out women. Simone interviewed Isaay this week for her new 97 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: movie One of Them Days, and you could tell how 98 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: excited she was to sit down with Lisa. Lisa, I 99 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: don't use this word lightly, is such an icon now 100 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: and so in the interview, she shared her friendship Green Flags, 101 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: they discussed group chat etiquette. It was really fun. 102 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 2: Oh my god, it was so fantastic. And what our 103 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 2: listeners don't know is a little bit behind the scenes. 104 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 2: We had been trying to get Esa Ray on the 105 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 2: show for a while and it all aligned because Lisa 106 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,679 Speaker 2: was doing a press junket to promote her new movie 107 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 2: One of Them Days. So Simone actually got to go 108 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 2: to a place in Hollywood and sit down with her 109 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 2: face to face, and you could just see it. I 110 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 2: was only able to watch remotely, but you could see 111 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 2: how Simone lit off when she got to speak with Lisa, 112 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 2: and just how proud Issa was to talk about this 113 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 2: new movie and to share it all. 114 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 3: So that was really really incredible. 115 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: I love that. And we also have to shout out 116 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: the crash course that we got from LinkedIn insiders and 117 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: podcast hosts Gianna Prudente and Jammay Jackson. So if you're 118 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: thinking of looking for a job or a new career 119 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: even this year, definitely go check that up out. I 120 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 1: think they had some great tips on how to help 121 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: your LinkedIn profile stand out, how to make a cold 122 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: email sound warm, which is truly an art form. I 123 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: love hearing perspectives about work from different generations. 124 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 2: Absolutely, when you say perspective, that's the thing that resonates 125 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 2: with me so much. I think at any point, you know, 126 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 2: we have an opportunity to learn from each other. You know, 127 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 2: there are people who have been in the workforce for ten, fifteen, 128 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 2: twenty years who have a lot of knowledge that they 129 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 2: can share with younger folks. And I think younger folks 130 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 2: coming into the workforce now have new perspectives on things, 131 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 2: communicate and connect with people differently. So the idea of 132 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 2: being able to learn from each other to help us 133 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 2: all rise is such an amazing thing. 134 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: Absolutely well. I love this job so much, like I 135 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: don't want the week to be over ever, but it's 136 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: not yet. Thankfully. We have such a fun popping off 137 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: for you today, but before we get into it, it's 138 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: time to spotlight our favorite moment of the week. So 139 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: this week we want to take a second to spotlight 140 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: all of the heroes in Los Angeles, especially the credible 141 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: community volunteers who just sprung into action amid the absolutely 142 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: devastating wildfires across LA. I have been so inspired by 143 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: the people of this city, many of whom have found 144 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: ways to show up for each other despite being displaced, 145 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: losing their own houses, their own belongings. I can't count 146 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: how many stories I've seen about people organizing and donating 147 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: and helping and opening their homes to friends and neighbors 148 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: and passing masks out to protect people from the air quality. 149 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: I mean.

But privately, you're one of my best friends. 215 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: So now I'm finally telling the world. I'm telling the 216 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: bright side. 217 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 5: I'm glad that we have come out of the closet 218 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 5: about our relationship right now, Tim, I just want to 219 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 5: let you know that Danielle is constantly making excuses for 220 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 5: me no matter what I say. She prefaces everything by 221 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 5: he's a comedian like she does. That is she trying 222 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 5: to help you from being canceled. It's not I'm not 223 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 5: getting canceled. I'm speaking my truth, but in my flavor. 224 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. 225 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 3: Okay, So how did you guys meet? How do you 226 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 3: guys know each other? 227 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 5: Now that is a story. So actually Danielle and I met, 228 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 5: of all plays the world in Ethiopia. Whoa in Ethiopia 229 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 5: in Addis Ababa. We were there on actually a humanitarian 230 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 5: mission together, but we met there and our mission was 231 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 5: to reunite Ethiopian Jewish families with their counterparts in Israel 232 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 5: that they had not seen in twenty or thirty years. 233 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 5: These are people who were definitely separated and because of 234 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 5: policy and politics which always gets in the way, they 235 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 5: were not able to reunitt with their family. And Danielle 236 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 5: and I got to be a part of that reunification. 237 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: Okay. So Tehran is telling you the heartfelt part, but 238 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: I'm going to give you the funny part. Because we 239 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 1: all get on this like white van okay, And there's journalists, 240 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: there's diplomats, there's very affluent people who are like you know, 241 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: the huge philanthropists in our country. And then Tehran and 242 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: I get on this and we're like probably thirty years 243 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: younger than most of these people. And Tehran comes and 244 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: sits next to me, and makes some super inappropriate joke 245 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: and I look at him and I'm like, are you 246 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: for real? And he looks at me and he goes, 247 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: you have good energy, and I said, you just sent me. 248 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,839 Speaker 1: And from that moment on we were inseparable the whole trip, 249 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 1: and of course Tehran made us laugh the whole and just. 250 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 5: To let you know him, I was for real what 251 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 5: I said. I was being for real. 252 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: You have a birthday coming up in just a few weeks, 253 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,439 Speaker 1: and I know over the past ten years you've celebrated 254 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: your birthday really by being at your home, which is 255 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: the Laugh Factory in La. You host this huge stand 256 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: up show. It sells out super quick. There's celebrity cameos, 257 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: there's music, there's of course comedy. So I'm curious what 258 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: people can expect this year. And also how old are 259 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: you turning? 260 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 5: That's the thing, So I'm turning old enough. Thank you 261 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 5: so much, Senelle. Thank you. I appreciate that very much. 262 00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: Okay, how many years have you lived? 263 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 5: I've lived. Listen, if you're asking me spiritually, I've lived forever. Okay. 264 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 5: But that's the thing. The idea of this is to 265 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 5: bring people together, have fun. Different comedians from different diverse backgrounds, 266 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 5: all on the same stage. The crowd is diverse. It's 267 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 5: people just being there to have fun, and that's the 268 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 5: best part of comedy. They think they're there to celebrate me, 269 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,440 Speaker 5: but honestly, I'm there to celebrate them, which is bringing 270 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 5: people together. That's what I'm really all about. And the 271 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 5: joy of comedy is, especially with everything that Los Angeles 272 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 5: is going through right now, we need laughter more than ever. 273 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 5: And when a tragedy occurs and you're in a room 274 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 5: full of people and you're crying, even though you're in 275 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 5: a room full of people, you're still crying alone. The 276 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 5: beauty of comedy is when you're in a room full 277 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 5: of people and you're laughing. We're all laughing together. We're 278 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 5: laughing together. Even if we're laughing at someone, we're all 279 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 5: laughing at someone together, you know. But typically I don't 280 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,839 Speaker 5: try to be that kind of comedian. I don't make 281 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 5: fun of people. I have fun with people, and hopefully 282 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 5: that's that's something that resonates in my comedy as well. 283 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: Tayron's really good at crowd work because well, he's so 284 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 1: witty on the spot, so if someone says something to him, 285 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: forget it. It's over, thankfully. 286 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 5: Thankfully. That's a good that's a good thing to be witty. 287 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 5: But we have a good time. It's all about having 288 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 5: a good time, having that positive energy, sending that out 289 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 5: there and being a part of a positive change in 290 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 5: the world. That's why I resonated and gravitated towards Danielle 291 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 5: because that's who she is as a person. 292 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 3: H humor and heart.

So Drew recently had Sizza 357 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: on her talk show and told this story about how 358 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 1: she reacted when she found out that a boyfriend was 359 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: cheating on her. So apparently Drew took everything that belonged 360 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: to her ex out of the house, put it in 361 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: his car, and then rolled the car down the hill 362 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: and just left it there. And then Drew asked the 363 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: girl he was cheating with to meet her for drinks, 364 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: made the ex also join so that he could quote 365 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: shut up and listen to the two of them talk. 366 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 1: And then she drove home and told him to get 367 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: out of her car and just left him there too. 368 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,200 Speaker 1: This is like a real elaborate plan. 369 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 2: I'm obsessed with Drew Barrymore doing this. Could you imagine 370 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 2: could you imagine Drew Barrymore putting stuff in someone's car 371 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 2: and rolling it down a hill. That's incredible. 372 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: But don't you think this means that Drew has this 373 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: alter ego because the Drew we know is this like 374 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: sweetheart of television. 375 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,879 Speaker 5: Drew Barrymore was my first crush in life. First of all, 376 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 5: my second crush was Whoopy Goldberg. I do want to 377 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 5: point that out. I love me some Whoopie Goldberg when 378 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 5: I was a kid. 379 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: So you love daytime talk show hosts and rom Com. 380 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 5: That's that's kind of what that might be my thing. 381 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 5: That might be my thing. However, I do think what 382 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,920 Speaker 5: Drew Barrymore did was obviously it was so punk rock, 383 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 5: it was so Drew Barrymore. Actually, if you actually know 384 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 5: the Drew Barrymore that I know right up Rowley, I 385 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 5: do think that two things. First of all, driving someone's 386 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 5: car down a hill, like letting it go down the hill. 387 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 5: That's kind of dangerous, Drew, like you don't know what's 388 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:10,879 Speaker 5: down that hill, like you. And second of all, what's 389 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 5: your insurance right now? Like what is your car insurance cost? 390 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:15,119 Speaker 5: You know? 391 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, you really got to think about what your premium 392 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 2: is going to do when you make those kinds of decisions, 393 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 2: right yeah. 394 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 3: It is absolutely, Oh my god, that's amazing.

Well, speaking 442 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 2: of love and relationships, I came across a New York 443 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 2: Times article this week about a married woman who has 444 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 2: an a I boyfriend. 445 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,120 Speaker 3: Yeah you heard that right, AI boyfriend. Okay, so here 446 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 3: are the deats. 447 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 2: After stumbling upon an Instagram video of a woman asking 448 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 2: chat gpt to play the role of a boyfriend. Aaron 449 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 2: It's not her real name, a twenty eight year old 450 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 2: woman from Texas. She was intrigued, so she took to 451 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 2: chat gpt to create her own chatbot boyfriend. His name 452 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 2: is Leo, her astrological sign, and eventually, get this, she 453 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 2: started spending more than twenty hours a week chatting with him, 454 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 2: to the point of actually falling in love with him. 455 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 3: But there's more. 456 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 2: Aaron has a husband and they've been married since twenty eighteen, 457 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 2: and he knows all about Leo, and Aaron has even 458 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 2: sent him examples of some of their steamier conversations, to 459 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 2: which her husband replied, cringe like reading a fifty Shades 460 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:27,200 Speaker 2: of Gray book. 461 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 3: Oh my god, this whole thing. 462 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 2: But what's even crazier about this is that he says 463 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 2: he's not bothered by it at all and compared it 464 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 2: to a sexual fantasy or even an emotional pick me up. So, 465 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 2: AI relationships, this whole thing. 466 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 5: What do you think I think it's cheaper than having 467 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 5: a relationship with someone on OnlyFans. I think that I 468 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 5: think that a lot of times we need to have 469 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 5: some type of emotional romantic support. And if AI is 470 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 5: able to provide that for this married couple that's still together, 471 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 5: then who are we to judge? 472 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 3: Wait? 473 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: So you think this is supporting their relationship and it's 474 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 1: not cheating, right, It's one hundred percent cheating, But she 475 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 1: is getting it is its Ai. It's not even a person. 476 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 5: It's the idea. Like if your husband slept with a robot, 477 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 5: you might be upset. So there are there are going 478 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 5: to be technological gray areas going forward in the future. 479 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 5: Would it be any different if they had emotional relationship 480 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 5: on Instagram? That person might not actually physically manifestly be real, 481 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 5: but the idea is that they are looking for something outside. Now, 482 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 5: what I'm. 483 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 2: Saying something they're not getting exactly is simply if they 484 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 2: are okay with this, Who am I to judge this? 485 00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 5: Would I be upset about it? If I was dating 486 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,120 Speaker 5: someone and she had a chat GPT boyfriend, No, I wouldn't. 487 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 5: I would encourage it. I'd be like, have to see 488 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 5: if he can pay for dinner? Boyfriend's clear, please go please? Yeah. 489 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 2: No, it's interesting you said that because my initial thought 490 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,719 Speaker 2: was something similar. It's like, I, uh, I'd rather that 491 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 2: person do it with an AI bot than with another 492 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,120 Speaker 2: human being. Interesting, right, And maybe this is an opportunity 493 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 2: for whomever this person is to negotiate and start to 494 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 2: understand what she needs out of a relationship, because clearly 495 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 2: she's not getting it from her husband. So if she 496 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 2: starts to have some type of communication with his AI bot, 497 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 2: maybe it's an opportunity for her to start to understand 498 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 2: what she needs out of a relationship so she can 499 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 2: start sharing that with her husband so that their relationship 500 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 2: can get stronger over time. 501 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: I'm almost wishing that my non existent husband was cheating 502 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: on me with a real person. 503 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 3: And not an AI bot. 504 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 1: This like really trips me out. I am not into this, 505 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: but I have. I've been reading that in Japan this 506 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: is becoming more and more popular, like there's decline in 507 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 1: marriage rates and like a significant acceptance of AI driven relationships. 508 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: I'm kind of worried. Usually the Far East is ahead 509 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 1: of us. I don't worry, they're ahead of the trend 510 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 1: in fashion, in technology. I'm worried that this is going 511 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 1: to trickle into American culture. I'm not here for this. 512 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 3: I'm sure it's artist. 513 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 2: It's interesting you bring that up because we see, we 514 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 2: continue to see people making connections through technology, and now 515 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 2: it's like that we're in this almost like postmodern approach 516 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 2: to technology. Now you're not just connecting with someone via technology. 517 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 2: Now you're just connecting with technology. And what does that 518 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 2: do to human connection? What does that do to what 519 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 2: is real in a relationship? Because your AI bod is 520 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 2: always going to be perfect and your partner is never 521 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 2: going to be perfect. So are you going to start 522 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 2: to introduce unrealistic expectations in a relationship based on these 523 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 2: technological It is. 524 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 5: An amazing dystopian epiphany. That was one thing when it 525 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 5: was the terminator is just going through and rampaging the earth, 526 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 5: but now they're rampaging our relationships. 527 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 1: It's time for another short break, but we'll be right 528 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 1: back with Tehran von Gosri. And we're back with Tehran 529 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: von Gosri. Well, in a much different corner of the Internet, 530 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: I saw a story about a former reality star, Kendra 531 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,199 Speaker 1: Wilkinson that I want to ask you guys about because 532 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:40,439 Speaker 1: it hit me in the heart as a woman. I 533 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: want to know if it it all affects men. Okay, 534 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: So Kendra took to Instagram and she was responding to 535 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: some negative comments or some body shame trolls that she'd 536 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,919 Speaker 1: gotten from her recent posts. So she has this photo 537 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: of herself in the mirror, and she wrote, yes, I've 538 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 1: gained weight, Yes I'm aging. Yes I'm not that girl 539 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: I was before aka the Playboy girl. But for once 540 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: in a long time, I feel good mentally and I'm healthy. 541 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 1: She goes on to say that she just turned forty 542 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: and she really just wants to be in peace finally, 543 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: and like people please leave her alone and respect her. 544 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: Is basically what she's saying. Okay, I turned thirty four 545 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: this week, and I have to if I'm being honest, 546 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: I've been a workout girl my whole life. So when 547 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: people would say to me, oh, your body is going 548 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: to change when you're older, I kind of thought, mm, no, 549 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: your body, but not mine. It won't happen to me. 550 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: Like my girlfriends still joke with me. They think like, oh, 551 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: everybody's gonna get wrinkles, except Danielle thinks she won't. Like 552 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: I just don't think it'll happen to me. But I 553 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 1: woke up at thirty two years old, and all of 554 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: a sudden, I was doing the same workouts eating the 555 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 1: same way, and my genes didn't fit. And I thought 556 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,400 Speaker 1: that I had dealt with all of my unhealthy eating 557 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 1: and getting to love my body. It took so long, 558 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,640 Speaker 1: and then at thirty two, I had to redo all 559 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: of this and try and come to a new space. 560 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: And now, Tehran, I know that all you eat are 561 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: hot Tamali's and skittles. So I'm not sure this applies 562 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: to you, but I am wondering, Tim and Tehran, do 563 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: men think about this too? Do your bodies change? 564 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 3: Yeah? 565 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 2: For sure, I will say so many of the things 566 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 2: you were saying resonated with me. I remember being in 567 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 2: my twenties and thinking, oh, you know what, That'll never 568 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 2: happen to me. 569 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 3: I'll never deal with wrinkles. 570 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 2: I'll never deal with the sagging like and I feel 571 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 2: like the moment I hit thirty, my metabolism like cut 572 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 2: in half, and the workouts I used to do weren't 573 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 2: cutting it. The way I was eating wasn't cutting it, 574 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 2: and I had to really hyper change the way I was. 575 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 3: And it's so interesting because I think, you. 576 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 2: Know, our society values youth and beauty so much that 577 00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 2: as much as we say be comfortable as you age, 578 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 2: you know age, age is beautiful. 579 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 3: You know you're still going to have those moments of God. 580 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 2: I you know, I looked so foxy in a crop 581 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 2: top when I was twenty two years old, and maybe 582 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 2: just I can't wear a crop top anymore, the same way. 583 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 3: You know, it's it's I think there are pressures. 584 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,920 Speaker 2: I think the conversations about it are changing, and I 585 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 2: think some of the movies that have come out recently 586 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 2: that are addressing age. I think some of the celebrities 587 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 2: that are speaking out about aging in Hollywood and the 588 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 2: pressures are starting to change that dialogue. 589 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,479 Speaker 3: And we're all just going to have to accept that. 590 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 2: As much as we think it's never going to happen 591 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 2: to us, it's going to happen to us. You mentioned 592 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 2: turning thirty four. I will say like when I turned thirty, 593 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 2: it felt like such a big celebration. When I turned 594 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 2: thirty one, I was like, oh my god, I'm old. 595 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm archaic. When I turned forty, it was 596 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 2: like a big celebration. I was like, Yay, this is incredible. 597 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 2: When I turned forty one, I was like, oh my god, 598 00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 2: I am over the hill. 599 00:29:58,360 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 3: I am dead. 600 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,479 Speaker 1: You're a year late. To the party. 601 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds like because anyone gathers around you and 602 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 2: celebrates these big milestones and it feels like a big 603 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 2: sense of accomplishment. And then the year later where you're like, oh, 604 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:12,640 Speaker 2: I'm not having that big blowout. 605 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 3: It's just like the zeros the zeros zero. 606 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 5: Let you escape it because it's not actually really you're 607 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 5: settling in and when you're thirty you still feel twenty nine. 608 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 5: But when you turn thirty one, you're now thirty. You 609 00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 5: feel thirty totally. Life's pressures, you know, when it comes 610 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 5: to men, then't you know. And it's so interesting. A 611 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 5: lot of times women ask other women about men, and 612 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 5: it's like, why don't you just ask men, because they 613 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:42,959 Speaker 5: pretty much know the idea is not just physically, but 614 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 5: there's a lot of pressures on men, whether it comes 615 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 5: to financially in a relationship, whether it comes to where 616 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 5: you are in life. These are things that are also 617 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 5: multiplied by men. And that's a social pressure where men 618 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 5: are supposed to be the head of the household for 619 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 5: the provider and all these things that as we look 620 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 5: at a time in life where we have the biggest 621 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 5: cost of living crisis in the history of ever, it 622 00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 5: becomes added pressure. Are you where you are supposed to 623 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 5: be at thirty five? Especially when you have parents like 624 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 5: my immigrant father, who was like then I was fourteen, 625 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:28,080 Speaker 5: I was already fifty. You're like, wait what I had 626 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 5: four vibes, twelve goats, you know, and you're just like, 627 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 5: how why is this happening to me? So right, that's 628 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 5: where you are with men, and we do care about 629 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 5: our physical appearance. It does change us. I noticed wrinkles, 630 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 5: you know, when you have hair in places you didn't 631 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 5: have hair before. That happens again when you age. You're like, 632 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 5: why is this happening to me? 633 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,760 Speaker 1: That definitely happens more for men too. All of a 634 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: sudden you have hair in your ears and it's like ears. 635 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 3: I was just gonna say, the ear that's trying to 636 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 3: get ear hair. And I was like, Oh, that's never 637 00:31:59,000 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 3: gonna happen to me. 638 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 2: And now you could catch me every Tuesday with tweezers 639 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 2: go after these small little ear hairs. 640 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 5: Boo. 641 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 1: Why do we think it's never going to happen to us? Like, 642 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 1: why are we denying? 643 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 2: There's something about you that where you just feel like 644 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 2: you are invincible, that you have just an abundance of time. 645 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 2: And I think the older you get you start to realize, oh, 646 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 2: time affects all of us. 647 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 3: But when you're young, you think you can live forever. 648 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, we are about to wrap up, but lastly, 649 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 2: before we go, this is a really lovely way to 650 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 2: end our show. So we all know that Hoda Kodby 651 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 2: left the Today Show last week and Craig Melvin stepped 652 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 2: in as the new co anchor of the Today Show, 653 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 2: and he recently shared a piece of advice that Hoda 654 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 2: gave him a few weeks ago before she stepped down. 655 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,959 Speaker 2: She told him quote, if you start changing things, that 656 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 2: doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. If who 657 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 2: you've been and what you've done has gotten you to 658 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 2: where you are, Oh my gosh, that is so powerful. 659 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 2: How does this resonate with you? What's the best piece 660 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 2: of advice you've got? 661 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 5: It resonates with me as a comedian very well, because 662 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 5: that is the truth. When comedians get in trouble, or 663 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 5: you hear about a comedian getting canceled, it's honestly because 664 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 5: they weren't being themselves. They were catering to the audience 665 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 5: or what they thought was catering to the audience, or 666 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 5: they were creating something that wasn't authentic or organic. Be 667 00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 5: yourself is the most simple advice you can ever be given, 668 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,479 Speaker 5: and it's yet the most difficult things to do at 669 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:28,200 Speaker 5: certain times. 670 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 2: So be yourself, Danielle. Any big piece of advice you've 671 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 2: gotten that stuck with. 672 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,959 Speaker 1: You, absolutely, But before I share it, I agree with 673 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: you Tehran, because I think the first ten to maybe 674 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: even twenty years of your career, you're trying to find 675 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: who that self is. So you're copying the people that 676 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,479 Speaker 1: you think are great, You're pulling things from them, and 677 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 1: then ultimately you're figuring it. You're like letting some of 678 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 1: those go, pulling in others and figuring out who is 679 00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 1: the real you, what feels comfortable for you, And that's 680 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 1: when it hits like, that's when the magic happens, and 681 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 1: you almost can't rush that process. I think the best 682 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: advice that I've received is from a man named Steve Carlston, 683 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: who I met serendipitously when I first moved to la 684 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 1: outside of a gym. He was holding a basketball and 685 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 1: we had a conversation and I found out he was 686 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: the GM of NBC at the time, and I thought, 687 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: oh my god, I moved to La and Saren and 688 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 1: Buttsy met the GM of NBC. He is going to 689 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:33,800 Speaker 1: change my career, Like this was so easy. And ultimately 690 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 1: I had a meeting with him and he didn't change 691 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,359 Speaker 1: my career. He changed my life. I saw the way 692 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:44,439 Speaker 1: that he spoke to people and honored every intersection of 693 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: meeting somebody, no matter who they were, how they met, 694 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,800 Speaker 1: where they met, and I saw how he made people 695 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:52,759 Speaker 1: feel and I looked at that and I said, Oh, 696 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 1: that's that's who I want to be. So anytime I 697 00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,319 Speaker 1: felt frustrated or didn't know what to do, I would 698 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 1: ask myself what would Steve do? And really what I 699 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: was asking is what is the loving thing to do here? 700 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 1: But he said to me when I moved to Chicago 701 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: to take a job as a morning show host, he said, 702 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 1: you have to build roots when you're young, or you 703 00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: tip over when you're older. And you were like trees basically, 704 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: and that's and I agree, because when you're young is 705 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,720 Speaker 1: when you want to be most reckless. But it's actually, 706 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: I think the most important time to build those roots. 707 00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 2: That's really powerful because all the people who are the 708 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 2: pas or the assistants eventually become the exacts. You know, 709 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,800 Speaker 2: all those people start to grow to and if you 710 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 2: you know, there are people I've known for ten fifteen 711 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,520 Speaker 2: years that are now in certain places that we all started. 712 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 3: You know, at the bottom. 713 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 1: That's really powerful and it's the time to sacrifice. You know, 714 00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 1: like really focus, how about you. 715 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 3: Tim, best piece of advice I ever got. 716 00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 5: You can't send the wrong text to the right person. 717 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:54,919 Speaker 5: That's a good one. 718 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,720 Speaker 3: That's a good one. That's amazing. 719 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 2: Someone said slow down. Oh I love that, and it 720 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 2: just resonated with me because I can be someone who 721 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 2: wants to onto the next, onto the next. How can 722 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 2: I I just got this promotion, how do I get 723 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 2: to the next thing? Or how can I move on? 724 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,640 Speaker 2: And he was just like, slow down, there's no race 725 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:15,759 Speaker 2: to get anywhere. 726 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 1: I love that, Tim. It's like Rome wasn't built in 727 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:18,399 Speaker 1: a day. 728 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's that. It's that mentality. 729 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 1: How many slogans can we throw out? 730 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,360 Speaker 5: We can throw out so many slogans. Practice makes perfect 731 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 5: flip both ways before you cross the stake. I mean, 732 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 5: all of these things are great pieces of advice, but 733 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,879 Speaker 5: the truth is advice only works if you actually apply it, 734 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 5: and it applies to the situation because there are times 735 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 5: where sure you need to slow down to tim but 736 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 5: there are times where you're too slow. Doesn't grow, you know. 737 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,359 Speaker 5: And then there's times where you know, with Danielle, you're 738 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:51,600 Speaker 5: you're you had this life altering moment. But the truth 739 00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 5: is he could have just given you a job. At times, 740 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 5: it's just interesting everyone. I think ultimately everyone just has 741 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,080 Speaker 5: their path and the truth is none of us know. 742 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:05,719 Speaker 5: Everybody's wrong. That's the thing about life. Everybody's wrong. The 743 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,919 Speaker 5: best piece of advice can simply be yolo, you only 744 00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:11,399 Speaker 5: live once. But the truth is, if you do it right, 745 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 5: that's all you'll ever need. So live it on your 746 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 5: own terms. You know, live it on your own terms. 747 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 5: What works for me doesn't. 748 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,680 Speaker 3: Work for you and God all the way around. 749 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,759 Speaker 5: Like it just is what it is. Let's go. 750 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,840 Speaker 2: Like Danielle, I have to say, you were one hundred 751 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 2: percent right, Tyran, you are the best human being. 752 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:29,399 Speaker 5: I appreciate you so much. 753 00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 1: Uran, thank you.
