1
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. So

2
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: Michael Vari show is on the air.

3
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 2: With schools starting back. Whether you have a public or

4
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 2: private school child or grandchild. My grandparents want to help

5
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: with the kids, and you want to help them succeed.

6
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: Maybe they're off to college, whatever that may be. I

7
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 2: wanted to spend just a few minutes talking about maybe

8
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 2: you can't hire a tutor, but the best tutor is

9
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 2: the parent. In the cases for Derek, it's usually the

10
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: fact that the parents are traveling with work or hyper

11
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: hyper engaged in their business and they still want the

12
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 2: best for their kids when they get home. The old days,

13
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 2: when I grew up, you went to school, came home,

14
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: did your homework, then you went out to play or

15
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: did your athletics, and you went on. That has changed.

16
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: I tell my kids all the time school I was

17
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: top of my class, I studied hard, I performed well,

18
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 2: but my school was not ten percent as difficult as

19
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 2: your school is today, not even nothing like it. It's

20
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: much harder today, much more competitive as well. Derek More

21
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: is our guest. Derek, let's take a couple of minutes

22
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 2: and drill down for a parent that you have watched

23
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: you come into the home. You've come into our home

24
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: for years. You go into the home and you watch

25
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: kids who succeed and you have helped them thrive. Let's

26
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 2: talk about a handful of things in five minutes or

27
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 2: so that every parent can do to increase by some

28
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: measure the success of their kid, from when they wake

29
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: up to when they go to bed, when they study,

30
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: how they study, and how a parent can assist them

31
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: without freaking them out.

32
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 3: That's great. Yeah, thanks for having me, Michael. This is

33
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 3: so important and timely, and I can't help think. I

34
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 3: can't help but think about Stephen Covey, begin with the

35
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 3: end in mind. And the thing about a good day

36
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 3: at school is it always begins the day before, the

37
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 3: night before. What's the bedtime? What's the bedtime routine? How

38
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 3: much preparation was done before bedtime? With clothes, with breakfast,

39
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: with whatever, backpacks prepared so that tomorrow when I wake

40
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 3: up as a student, I can wake up late if

41
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 3: I did, and walk out the door under five minutes.

42
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 3: So preparing for a catastrophe means go to bed early,

43
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 3: go to bed on time, get up, get your clothes

44
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 3: laid out, get them on, and get out the door.

45
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 3: The routine sets the anchor, and all the studies now

46
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 3: show that sleep is so important, and so many of

47
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 3: our students are sleep deprived. They're overstimulated with screens, with sugars,

48
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: with caffeines. That brings me to food as well. Make

49
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 3: sure they are well fed if you can control that,

50
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 3: one good meal a day. So get out the door,

51
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 3: as you know, get to school early, as your boys do,

52
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 3: get there early. Make sure you talk to your teachers,

53
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 3: make sure you go by. I've even had this conversation

54
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 3: a student says, I need to go see this teacher

55
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 3: and I'll say, is it academic or is it political?

56
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: He says it's political. I might need her later on

57
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 3: in the semester, That is a wise wise student. Is

58
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 3: it academic? Yeah, I'm kind of not sure about this work.

59
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 3: So teaching them to advocate for themselves. So as they

60
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 3: are younger, it's maybe heavier with the parent involvement. As

61
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 3: they hit fourth fifth grade, middle school, they take more ownership.

62
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 3: By high school, it's a debate how often does mom,

63
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 3: how often does dad need to be involved? Because I'm

64
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 3: going to have you do it, son, I'm going to

65
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: have you do it. Daughter, go to school locked in again,

66
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:22,679
Speaker 3: paying attention, sitting locking in after school, but before students

67
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 3: go to bed, I would say, and everyone's different, but

68
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 3: physical exercise every day is it must? These children have

69
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 3: so much energy they have to get it out in

70
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 3: a healthy way. Family dinners, great way, even if you're

71
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 3: eating fifteen minutes and it's quick, sitting down and just

72
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: having FaceTime without your screens, minimizing your screen time, and

73
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 3: having a dedicated study space. Oh, I study in my bed,

74
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 3: in my bedroom wherever. I don't particularly care because I've

75
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 3: seen students study with noise and with silence, in almost darkness,

76
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 3: in total brightness. If it's not working, you get involved

77
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: and change it. If it is working, hey, great job, Sally,

78
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 3: Great great job, Bobby. You keep doing it your way.

79
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 3: So with those fundamentals, I would say, you have a

80
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 3: good framework. And I will finally add every student, beginning

81
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 3: as soon as they can read, needs to read. Read

82
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 3: something you like every day, and then read anything you

83
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 3: love and give yourself time to read for thirty minutes

84
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 3: or an hour if you're into a good book. But

85
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 3: those core fundamentals will prepare a student for the semester,

86
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 3: will have a good daily routine and then you can

87
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 3: be rewarded by not thinking about school on Saturday, not

88
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 3: thinking about school on Sunday until four o'clock or two

89
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 3: o'clock or six o'clock, depending on your Sunday routine. So

90
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 3: if I'm getting back to the fundamentals, because we have

91
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 3: this loss of learning that's happened in my group at

92
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 3: world class Tutors dot com. We've taken this decade of

93
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 3: experience that I've done in households and put into a

94
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 3: system where they don't have to hire a tutor. They

95
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 3: can pick up this material and take their kids through

96
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 3: it themselves. And these parents have told me, Wow, I

97
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 3: didn't realize how inefficient I was. I didn't realize how

98
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 3: I needed to manage my time better. So we can

99
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: always learn as parents, as grandparents. We don't have to

100
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 3: be in the rat race, but we can always learn

101
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 3: how to be a little bit better with our priorities,

102
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 3: how to be a little bit better with our intentionality,

103
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 3: having our phone put down like you read earlier and

104
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 3: talked about earlier, and locking in with your family when

105
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 3: it's time to lock in. So these are core things

106
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 3: and the bottom line is your students know you care

107
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 3: about them. Your students know you love them if you

108
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 3: give them clear boundaries and help them succeed within those

109
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 3: boundaries on a daily basis.

110
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 2: Derek, I want to get to one thing that I'm

111
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 2: watching emails coming in from folks. What about the kid

112
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 2: who's not a dumb dumb he's really smart, but he

113
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: does poorly in school. Take one minute, because I have

114
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: another question after that. He does really poorly in school

115
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 2: because he's not interested, he's not challenged.

116
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 3: That's a great question. So for the student who is

117
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 3: doing well in school now I'm sorry, not doing well

118
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 3: particularly in school, but maybe does well on standardized tests

119
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 3: which reveal his or her intelligence. I take the approach

120
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 3: that this student needs some accelerant, that we need to

121
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 3: pour some gasoline on there. So I will work diligently

122
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 3: to find out what is he passionate about, what is

123
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 3: she passionate about. I had a student who had to

124
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 3: be homeschooled because all he thought about was baseball, and

125
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 3: his mother taught him everything through baseball, math, the history

126
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 3: of baseball, biographies of baseball players, physics of baseball and bats,

127
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 3: and for years and years and years he was homeschooled,

128
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 3: and it was all through the lens of baseball. In

129
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 3: about sixth grade, he said, Mom, can I do something

130
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 3: besides baseball? All we do is baseball all the time.

131
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 3: And at that point he had exhausted his focus on

132
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 3: baseball and she was able to reintegrate him back into

133
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 3: normal schooling. So my point on that is when you

134
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 3: can hyper focus and accelerate, give your child what they're

135
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 3: what they want. They want to be challenged, Find someone

136
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 3: smarter than you in the community, find an expert in

137
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 3: whatever they're passionate about. Make a connection, make an introduction,

138
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 3: use your network so that you can help your child.

139
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 3: That's what I would say.

140
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 4: I love it.

141
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: Derek Moore, thank you if you you bet? Is there

142
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 2: a website. I've never gone to a website.

143
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, world class Tutors dot com. World class Tutors dot com.

144
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 3: Appreciation Michael Derek so much have like.

145
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 2: Fifty tutors and he realized I was managing tutors instead

146
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 2: of teaching kids. And you shut it all that you

147
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 2: might have to edit. This is Mark Chestnut and Jar

148
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: Bizaar of Talk Radio. I just received an email from

149
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: a friend of mine said, sorry to bother you during

150
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: your show, but I figured you would want to know.

151
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 2: I just left doctor Mary Tally Boden's office by far

152
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: the best medical experience I have ever had in my life,

153
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 2: and he's sixty something. She was awesome and very thorough.

154
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 2: Her staff was absolutely amazing. You know, if you knew

155
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: how much time I spend planning, organizing, structuring, preparing. You

156
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 2: who think I'm very boring, and I'm okay with that

157
00:09:53,559 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: because I do not think you find success and happiness accidentally.

158
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 2: I think you work at things, and I was never

159
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 2: I never aced IQ tests or standardized tests. I worked

160
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 2: hard in school, and I have always said I don't

161
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 2: think I'm the greatest at anything. But I'm gonna tell

162
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 2: you this, I'm gonna outwork everyone else. You may not

163
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: realize I'm outworking them because I don't tell you i'm

164
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 2: outworking them. I just do it consistently every single day.

165
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if you notice. We don't take vacation.

166
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 2: We are here in the studio every day. Take a

167
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 2: couple of days at Thanksgiving and at Christmas. That's it. Sick, tired,

168
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 2: hung over, sadly exhausted from travel. I'm not gonna tell

169
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 2: them when you threw up in the trash. Canse who

170
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: wants to hear your throw up in the trash can story.

171
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: Literally nobody, but I want to say this. My wife

172
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 2: does not listen to the show. But many is the

173
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 2: day that in the evening I will have or sometimes

174
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 2: in the afternoon before the evening show, I will have

175
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 2: a meeting at my house instead of out and about.

176
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: And the reason is because then people don't come over

177
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 2: and talk to you while you're trying to have a conversation.

178
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 2: And my wife said, if I go to the restroomhen

179
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: somebody's at the house, people will ask questions of my wife,

180
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,319
Speaker 2: like she's not going to tell me, And she said,

181
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: she has said this multiple times. You know, people have

182
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 2: the wrong impression of you. They don't realize how you are,

183
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 2: how much focus you spend on things that appear to

184
00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 2: be haphazard or natural. So I decided last year that

185
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 2: I would spend twenty twenty four trying to help listeners.

186
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 2: Not that I'm some guru, not that you signed up

187
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 2: for self help. But I think if you have something,

188
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 2: you share it and someone can do with it what

189
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 2: they want. There is always someone better than me in

190
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 2: every single thing. I don't think I'm the guru of finances.

191
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 2: Or health or anything else. But I do think that

192
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 2: I can share things I've learned and it may help somebody.

193
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 2: And if that's not you, because you're a genius in

194
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 2: that field, I'm not trying to top you. I'm really not.

195
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: But I decided to put down on paper the things

196
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 2: I wanted to share for this year. And we've not

197
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 2: discussed this, but because of Derek, that was part of it,

198
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 2: you may have noticed, and that was planning, preparing and

199
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 2: executing on physical health, financial health, family health, professional health

200
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 2: assets and things, and giving back physical health health. That's

201
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 2: why I started sharing. I was a client of Michael

202
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 2: Petru for training, long before he was a show sponsor,

203
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 2: and I saw how it was transforming my body, and

204
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 2: more importantly, my mind made me like Ramone would laugh

205
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: about it. Ramones trained with him. I realized, yeah, we

206
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 2: should share that. Doctor Boden when Bowden, why did I

207
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: say Boden? I was thinking to Murray Boden because I

208
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: saw it written. When COVID hit and doctors wouldn't let

209
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 2: you come in and they were being crazy, Doctor Bowden

210
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 2: would walk outside her clinic and talk to patients in

211
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 2: the breezeway if they were scared to come in the

212
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 2: office when people were scared, like it was leprosy of COVID.

213
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: She was just bold and brave and treating patients. It

214
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 2: was incredible financial health. I realized talking to listeners and

215
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 2: friends that a lot of people don't have good strategic

216
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: advice on tax planning. So I put the word out

217
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 2: I want a strategic tax planner. More than just CPA's

218
00:14:52,880 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: I want. And we landed on Deroach Partners, and I realized,

219
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 2: I'm having dinner with them tonight. I realized, you know,

220
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 2: I have a business. I run a business, A team here,

221
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 2: and a lot of business owners I realize would ask

222
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 2: me questions. You're a lawyer. I haven't been a lawyer

223
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: in almost thirty years. I'm not the person to answer

224
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: that question for you. You need a good tax strategic tax partner,

225
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 2: you need a good financial advisor. You need to put

226
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: your estate plan in order. So we went out for

227
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: a state planning lawyer. That's Christine Weaver, and wow, did

228
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 2: the floodgates open for these things. I sit down and

229
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 2: we'll be doing this in the coming weeks between now

230
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 2: in January. First, I sit down and do an annual

231
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 2: plan for the year. I know it sounds dorky, and

232
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 2: I know you're thinking I had no idea. What a

233
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 2: weirdo you are. It's what I do. I just don't

234
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 2: talk about it. I sit down and I go over insurance,

235
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 2: my insurance plan. I got two teenagers to insure for cars.

236
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: You know what that looks like. I do weird things

237
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 2: like I pay cash for my cars and I only

238
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 2: get liability. I don't pay. I don't fully insure my car.

239
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 2: But what happens. I've run the numbers. I take the

240
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 2: money that I would have spent on an insurance premium

241
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: for full coverage, and I put that into a savings

242
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 2: account that goes toward. So if I have to repair

243
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 2: a car, I do. I do the minimal insurance but catastrophic,

244
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 2: and I pay when I go for health care because

245
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 2: I don't want a high deductible. We don't use doctors

246
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 2: very often, so why am I paying for deductible so

247
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 2: that my bill is lower when we barely use doctors anyway.

248
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 2: Then there is family health. We made a decision years

249
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 2: ago we're going to have family dinner, and it's important.

250
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 2: And Michael's senior year, we had family dinner probably seventy

251
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 2: five percent of the days because we realized our last

252
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 2: chance to do this, our last year to have dinners

253
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 2: like this. Professional health, I consciously study. I've gone through

254
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 2: every talk show host. I consciously study comedians, delivery, punchlines, everything,

255
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 2: because I want to be better at what I do,

256
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 2: assets and things. I have people to handle every single

257
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 2: aspect of my house, and if they're good at what

258
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 2: they do, I say, would you like to be a

259
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 2: show sponsor? It ain't free, but we'll change your life

260
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 2: will We will give you so much business in every

261
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 2: aspect of what I do. I buy my tahos from

262
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 2: classic elites of sugar Land. They get all our business

263
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 2: and giving back. I set a plan. This is how

264
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 2: we created a family foundation. This is how much of

265
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 2: my time I'm going to donate. These are the causes

266
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 2: I'm going to work.

267
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 5: Lifestyles of the not saying you to do that.

268
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 4: As I call it, the Michael.

269
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 2: Barry jail funny thing happened may Man, I appreciate it.

270
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 2: I asked Ramon to play magic, and the only version

271
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 2: of magic I thought about was Olivia Newton John and

272
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 2: xanadu Wo. I make my own sound effects now. That's

273
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 2: the she's hot. Give me a little whoops. I see

274
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 2: how off I was.

275
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it.

276
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: That's it.

277
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,479
Speaker 2: And I did not clarify exactly what that was supposed

278
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: to be. Huh how about that? Yeah. So just my

279
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 2: advice to you, wherever you are in your life, do

280
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 2: a reset, but have that reset be January first, and

281
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 2: start planning between what are we almost September, September, October, November, December.

282
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 2: You have four months to prepare for the ultimate twenty

283
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 2: twenty five. There's two types of personalities. You may say,

284
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 2: that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Why are you

285
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 2: talking about that? Just tell me how common is an idiot?

286
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 2: And Trump's going to win. But some people will say,

287
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 2: you know what, You're right. I never thought about that.

288
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 2: Focus on what and who you want to be because

289
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 2: I believe we can change those things. I believe we

290
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 2: can go from being a double ard to being physically fit.

291
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 2: I don't care which one you are. I just want

292
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 2: you to be who and what you are. If you

293
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 2: want to be fit, I'm willing to do everything I can.

294
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 2: Introduce you to people, suggest things, give you a book,

295
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 2: just cave a buddy of mind, A book this week

296
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 2: on that very subject. It came over and said, good Lord,

297
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 2: didn't realize how much weight you had lost. Here's one

298
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 2: of the books I read when I was just getting started. Anyway,

299
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 2: if you start planning today for a January first, I

300
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 2: tell my kids and long talk multiple times with Michael.

301
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 2: Some people are going to drop out of college, not

302
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 2: just at the University of Texas, at every university, but

303
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 2: especially at the University of Texas. There are kids that

304
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 2: are going to get there and they're going to come

305
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 2: home with their tailtop between their legs, either at Christmas

306
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 2: or in the summer, and especially if mommy and Daddy

307
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 2: are paying for it, they're going to be embarrassed to

308
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 2: say that they got kicked out. And it happens to

309
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 2: very good people. I know people who go on to

310
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 2: be very successful who dropped out or got kicked out

311
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 2: of college, and they'll tell you it's a couple of things.

312
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 2: The lack of a plan. No, it wasn't lack of planning, Michael,

313
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 2: I drank too much, I slept in, I partied too much.

314
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 2: That's the lack of a plan. If you're living your

315
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: life such that you only ever do what you think

316
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 2: about doing at that moment, then you don't realize that

317
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 2: what you're about to do is taking you off of

318
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 2: the course of the plan you set. And once you

319
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 2: realize that, then you say, wait a second. That party

320
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 2: I was excited about on Sunday night, I can't get

321
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 2: hammered and pass out at three o'clock in the frat hall.

322
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 2: I've got my first class at eight am and we've

323
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 2: got a quiz. I'll end up missing the class and

324
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 2: missing the quiz and getting a zero. Nobody planned to

325
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 2: fall out of college. Nobody. Nobody said I'm going to

326
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 2: go up there and have a hell of a time

327
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 2: and get kicked out. What happened was a lack of

328
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 2: a plan. I bought Michael this. I was telling this

329
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 2: on the air the other day, and I had there's

330
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 2: some geeks out there like me who love planners in

331
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 2: the light. The old Franklin planner I had, the Trapper

332
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 2: Keeper was the original planner for me. But it's a

333
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 2: sheet of paper, it's a it's a stack of them.

334
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 2: My wife ordered them online somewhere. I could have got

335
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 2: them from Belinda Fultz, but I didn't even know she

336
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 2: was doing this. And it's one of those that you

337
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 2: tear off the top page of each one in this

338
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 2: in this stack of them, and it's your next day's planner.

339
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 2: And this all comes from Derek the tutor. I was

340
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 2: telling you about the idea that success on Wednesday is

341
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 2: because of preparation on Tuesday. So at this time of year,

342
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 2: every year, all of my service providers hear from me, CPA,

343
00:22:52,280 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 2: financial planner, insurance advisor, everybody. I had dinner with Petri

344
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 2: the other day. We went over I said, here's where

345
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 2: I am, here's my weight, here's my strength, here's where

346
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 2: I feel good. Here are challenges for me, and here's

347
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 2: some things that in twenty twenty five I want to

348
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 2: improve on, and here are the metrics of how I

349
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 2: want to get there. He loves that stuff because that's

350
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 2: a challenge to him because guess what if I were

351
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 2: to announce I want to bench press five hundred, That'll

352
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 2: never happen, But if I were. He likes the challenge

353
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 2: of how do I get there because he can't just say, well,

354
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 2: let's start with four hundred, because I'm not moving the bar.

355
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 2: I'm not moving the bar anywhere near any of those numbers.

356
00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: So he's got to work within my body and not

357
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 2: hurting me. I don't set bench press numbers. I'm just kidding.

358
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 2: That is my challenge to you. And the reason I

359
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 2: tell you this now I gave a lot of thought.

360
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 3: To this.

361
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 2: Is we are about to enter what is called the

362
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 2: silly season, and Trump is winning, and everybody knows Trump

363
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 2: is winning, and right now today Trump is going to

364
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 2: win barring unforeseen circumstances. But they are foreseeable, aren't they.

365
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 2: This is like the Donald Rumsfeld foreseeable, unforeseeable quote, if

366
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 2: you remember that one during the Iraq War. So you're

367
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 2: gonna lose, whether you realize it or not, a couple

368
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 2: of months of your life. I mean, look at what's

369
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 2: already happened. In June. Trump wipes Biden the earliest debate ever,

370
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 2: wipes him off the floor, off the table. Then a coup,

371
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 2: Biden's kicked out. Then we have the ascension of Kamala

372
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 2: we're going to have. Then we have the president shot

373
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 2: in the face. I mean, some crazy things happening. I

374
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 2: think we could very well have war before November. I

375
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 2: think we could be invol in a war before November,

376
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 2: especially not yet boots on the ground. Because everybody cheers

377
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 2: when we go in and shock in all people. I

378
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 2: think that Kamalo will be the president. A lot of

379
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 2: things are gonna happen. So all I'm saying is set

380
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 2: your plan now for your meetings with your service providers,

381
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 2: and get your goals in place so you can start

382
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 2: on January first, because I'm gonna tell you something. Come

383
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 2: October November, you're not even be able to focus on

384
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 2: anything else. I had Beaver Applin on years ago, some

385
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 2: of you will remember, and some people thought I was

386
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 2: insulting him. I wasn't because I said, what beaver Applin

387
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 2: did with BUCkies and he has a business partner Don.

388
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 2: I don't know Don, but I understand he's a genius

389
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 2: as well. I said, at the end of the day,

390
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 2: BUCkies is a gas station, but they took something that

391
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 2: anybody could have done and elevated it. And that was

392
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 2: when I issued the new vocabulary ramon. Remember I said,

393
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 2: it's not just a gas station, it's a gas station

394
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 2: that is a destination. It is a gas donation, pure brilliance.

395
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 2: Beaver did not give me my due. He kind of

396
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 2: said that's pretty good. And then two weeks later they

397
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 2: got billboards up. Did I get a commission. Did I

398
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 2: get a reward? Nothing? Story of my life. But what

399
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 2: I love is anybody could have improved the gas station

400
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 2: to make it a thing that's talked about on late

401
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 2: night TV. But they did it. Over the years. How

402
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 2: many people have you heard providing traffic on the radio?

403
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 2: And for my money in twenty years, nineteen years of

404
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 2: doing radio and fifty three years of listening to radio,

405
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 2: I think sky Mike's the best. Do you agree Ramond'd

406
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 2: be weird if you didn't. You're not just saying that

407
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 2: because he's Hispanic? Who was the guy that was drunk on?

408
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 2: Are are you serious?

409
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 5: Who?

410
00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 4: Yeah?

411
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 2: Talking about Bob Bockwalter, Eddie? What was Eddie's lest Eddie Barton?

412
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 2: He was good. He's no sky Mike. So we asked

413
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 2: sky Mike to join us for a moment. Sky Mike, Hey,

414
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 2: what's you're on the air? You're weirdo.

415
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 4: You'd sound like you're I know, longtime listener, first time caller.

416
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 4: You're a great American.

417
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,879
Speaker 2: Thank you. That's Sean Hannity with things what's going on

418
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 2: on fifty nine? There was something was shut down?

419
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 4: Oh oh god, what would I know? You know? I mean,

420
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 4: I've just been goofing right now.

421
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 2: We want you to do it in sky Mike. I

422
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 2: want you to do it in sky Mike West, like

423
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 2: you're doing a report.

424
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 4: I'll like it in the morning.

425
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, hold on time ramon, do you have a

426
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 2: sounder time now for traffic, Let's go to sky Mike.

427
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 4: All right here, let me get my slinky, let me

428
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 4: give my all right southbound outbound look out Southwest Freeway.

429
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 4: This is all lanes blocked now at the Beltway. Nothing

430
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,959
Speaker 4: good's happening there. If you want to hop off, if

431
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 4: you're a big shot, get on the West Park Tollway.

432
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,719
Speaker 4: If you're just calmon, rip raft, then get on all

433
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 4: the most city expressway by the way. In real life,

434
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 4: this wreck is now clear. Just want everybody to know

435
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 4: the wreck is clear. Yes, I pay attention. Hello, that's

436
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 4: all I got.

437
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 2: Do you know what happened?

438
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 4: Okay, fine, you get a banana stick or fine, I'll

439
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 4: give you a banana stick.

440
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 2: What happened?

441
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 4: One for remote?

442
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 5: Two?

443
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 3: What? No?

444
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 2: What caused it?

445
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 4: Oh? Do what caused the accident? Oh? I don't want

446
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 4: to speculate. And actually it was in a bad spot

447
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 4: where we couldn't see it very well. But it started

448
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 4: out with just a couple of lanes. That one. I

449
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,119
Speaker 4: don't really want to talk about that one much, but

450
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 4: that one, nothing good is happening here. That's my code

451
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 4: language to you know, really close. iHeartRadio listeners that you know,

452
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 4: we just don't even want to know.

453
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 2: Oh okay.

454
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 4: You know, sometimes sometimes we have you know, we have

455
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 4: recks where everybody's okay, and then sometimes we'll have some

456
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 4: little minor thing where they just get on the side

457
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 4: and then they point at things, you know, like you

458
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 4: hold up for a second, pointing at things as part

459
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 4: of it. And then sometimes it's just it's gone before

460
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 4: we touchreck Ninjas, that's what that means.

461
00:28:59,280 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: Wow.

462
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,280
