You know, it's it's June first, 10 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:28,639 Speaker 4: the very. 11 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,160 Speaker 1: Last, and then I said, welcome, it's me.

So welcome to this episode 13 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: of Amy and TJ. 14 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,480 Speaker 4: Thank you for that literal demonstration of how you don't 15 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 4: listen to anything I say. 16 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. All right, well, you know, and we 17 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 3: talk about this. We love actually our quote of the day. 18 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 1: Every day we give we end our Morning Runs with 19 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,280 Speaker 1: something to inspire you or to get you thinking. 20 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 2: And Sundays are. 21 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: Such a big day for folks to reflect and to 22 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: be inspired, whether you go to church, sure, you take 23 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: a hike, or whatever it is. So we thought it 24 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: would be a perfect time to go through our quotes 25 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: of the day, and we have a bonus quote for 26 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: you at the end of this podcast, but we'll begin 27 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: with how we started our week with the great King 28 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: Elvis Presley. We had just actually were still in Memphis 29 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: on Monday, so we decided to quote Elvis Presley. 30 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 2: I love this quote of his. 31 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,759 Speaker 1: You only pass through this life once. You don't come 32 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: back for an encore. 33 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 4: Deah, take advantage. Don't we all think we got another chance? 34 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,559 Speaker 4: We had a little more time, We have another opportunity. 35 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,479 Speaker 4: We know life is no do we know life is short? 36 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: We just say that, we say that, we don't live it. 37 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: We say we'll do it tomorrow. We'll do that next month, 38 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: We'll do that next year, we'll plan that vacation when 39 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: we have more time or more money. And it's always 40 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: a reminder just sometimes you need that little bit of 41 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: wisdom from somebody who is just It's not anything we 42 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: don't already know, but just especially when you have people 43 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: who you respect to you admire, you love, it's cool 44 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: to hear them remind us all that we need to 45 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: take advantage of the time we have right now. 46 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 4: And reminder from the guy who said it. He was 47 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 4: famously known for not giving on cores. Elvis has left 48 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 4: the building. Y'all can stand here and clap all you want, 49 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 4: but the brother's gone. So this came from Elvis Presley, Yes, 50 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 4: where we were on Monday, his hometown of Memphis, hanging 51 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 4: out there. 52 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: And he lived a short life, wow, forty two. And 53 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 1: so it's interesting, you know he's someone who said that, 54 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 1: and you know he didn't know. No one knows when 55 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: our time comes. But it's a reminder he had a 56 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: very incredible. 57 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 2: But short life. 58 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: And so it's that in and of itself, is a 59 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: reminder from some island. 60 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 4: I did not think about the guy who actually said 61 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 4: had lived a very short life. You don't get an encore. 62 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. 63 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,239 Speaker 4: August sixteenth, nineteen seventy seven. 64 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 2: He passed away three days before you were born. 65 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 4: And that was my due date. My mom's due date 66 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 4: that the doctor gave her was August sixteenth, nineteen seventy seven. 67 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 4: I will never forget that because I was born then 68 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 4: three days later. So I always know the anniversary of 69 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 4: his death. What year are we on, because that is 70 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 4: the year that I will be turning whatever age. So 71 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 4: this is the forty eighth year since his passing. That's 72 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 4: kind of remarkable and that's crazy. But yes, take there 73 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 4: from Melvis, folks, you only pass through this life once 74 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 4: you don't come back for an encore, and then Tuesday 75 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 4: robes you track one down from a favorite artist of mine. 76 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,839 Speaker 4: But of course I had no idea about this quarter. 77 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 2: For yeah, I didn't. 78 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: You know, it makes sense because so many musicians are lyricists, 79 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: their singers and their songwriters and Erica Badu, so of 80 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: course it's not a big stretch to think that they 81 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: would have inspirational things to say. But I hadn't heard 82 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: this before either. This is a good one. In the morning. 83 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: Instead of saying to yourself, I gotta wake up, say 84 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: I get to wake up. 85 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 2: This is exactly what. 86 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: I try to remind myself when my alarm clock goes 87 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: off at three a m. Monday through Friday. But the 88 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: truth is, it is a privilege to wake up. It 89 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: is if nothing else goes that day, at least you 90 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: had the opportunity to be there and be present for it, 91 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: to learn something, to grow, to experience things. And I 92 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: just think it's a reminder that we can be grateful, 93 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 1: if for nothing else, for the fact that we woke up. 94 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 4: Isn't that the first thing that goes right for you 95 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,479 Speaker 4: every day? Yes, the fact that you're awake. Yes, Wow, 96 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 4: I got another day. That literally is your first blessing 97 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 4: of every single day, the fact you open your eyes 98 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 4: and you get to live it. Look people going through 99 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 4: all kinds of hell and hard times and it might 100 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 4: be hell for you today and not looking forward to something. 101 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 4: But geez, isn't that a win that you woke up? 102 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: Yeah? Any And isn't so much of life about our attitude. 103 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: It's not what happens, it's not what's good or bad. 104 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: It's how we. 105 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 2: View it. 106 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: And if you can view things through a positive lens, 107 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: it's a game changer. And I'm someone who I really 108 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: think this is true. If you start off the day 109 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: like that, with that positive attitude, it will change how 110 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: the rest of your day will go. What you think 111 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: is what will be. I really believe that. So I 112 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: love what eric Abadou said. We'll give it to you 113 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: one more time in the morning. 114 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 4: Instead of saying to yourself, I got to wake up, 115 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 4: say I get to wake up. Thank you for that, 116 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 4: miss Erica back dude On Wednesday. Another from this is 117 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 4: from a self help I say self help author. He 118 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 4: is probably considered maybe even on some people's Mount Rushmore. 119 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: Of self help absolutely Wayne Dyer. If you don't know 120 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 1: who he is, I urge you to look him up 121 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: because you don't have to agree with everything he says, 122 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: but what he has to say about how to live 123 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: your life better and how to change your attitude about life, 124 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: it's inspirational. I have not read anything by this man 125 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 1: that I didn't love, but this particular quote he gave 126 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: really really spoke to us. When you judge another, you 127 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: do not define them, You define yourself. 128 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:03,799 Speaker 2: That is powerful. 129 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 4: Hey, judgment, that judgment sucked. 130 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 2: We got We all do it. We all do it. 131 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 4: You're looking out and people talk about it. It's a 132 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 4: matter of projecting, right, you're doing that. You're projecting because 133 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 4: you don't have to deal with the pain that you're 134 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 4: dealing with inside. And that's why people do that. But 135 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 4: if we could just stop, we just take a beat. 136 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 4: It's training, but to stop in that moment and stop 137 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 4: judging someone, to listen to someone, to understand somebody else's circumstances. Look, 138 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 4: it took me a long time to get to that 139 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 4: point too. You hear me. Now, Sometimes get people grace 140 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 4: and mercy, like do what's wrong with you? 141 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 2: You do? 142 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 4: Like I give everybody I'm listening, let me hear the 143 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 4: other side. Well, maybe they this and maybe this happened. 144 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 4: It takes training, but man, it is it's a better 145 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 4: way to live. 146 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: You're a defense lawyer's dream juror. I would say that, Oh, 147 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: you don't want me on a jury, Well you do 148 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: if you're the defendant. 149 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 4: If you're defend Oh whoever it is, you know what, 150 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 4: they were having a rough day. 151 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 3: I'm gonna give them some grace. 152 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: You know. 153 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 4: I'm gonna take a beat. And you know I would 154 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 4: be in that jury room just chilling. Y'all yell at me. 155 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: All y'all want you hang a jury and have zero 156 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: you sleep really well that night. 157 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 3: I really do believe that. I really do believe that. 158 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 2: But it's true. 159 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: When you start projecting your pain or something you don't 160 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: want to deal with about yourself, and you start making 161 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: fun of other people or judging other people, you are 162 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: losing a bit of your humanity. Because what makes us 163 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: feel whole and good and happy and safe is to 164 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: understand that we're all one. 165 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 2: We're all a part of each other. We're not separate. 166 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: We're all human beings looking and searching for the same thing. 167 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: And that's belonging and love. And so when we do 168 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: that and we say things about other people or we 169 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: judge other people to make ourselves feel better about what 170 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 1: we're dealing with, it it's taking something away from us. 171 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: It's not taking away anything from that other person. You're 172 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: harming yourself by doing that. You're lowering yourself for people 173 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: say that's beneath you, and that's truly what it is, 174 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 1: and I think it's. Look, this is a human experience 175 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: because our egos take over when we're not aware. 176 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 2: We just want to make. 177 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: Ourselves feel better, and we do that oftentimes by making 178 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: other people look bad. But the truth is we're taking 179 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 1: away something vital to making us all be better humans. 180 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: And it's just a reminder that when you start to 181 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: go there, your brain starts to go there, your mouth. 182 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 2: Starts to go there. Catch yourself. 183 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: It's okay, we all do it, but catch yourself and 184 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: stop yourself and think why am I saying this? Why 185 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: do I need to think this or say this? 186 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 4: Go read the Drum Major Instinct by Martin Luther King 187 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 4: if you get a chance. I'm only saying that now 188 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 4: it wasn't the plan. You just said something that he 189 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 4: hits on and it relates to everybody. You said. The 190 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 4: only way some people try to make themselves look better 191 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 4: is to by tearing, by tearing somebody else down. The 192 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 4: whole idea of a drum major in a band is 193 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 4: what out front? The one that wants to be seen? 194 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 4: He said. We all have that in us. We all 195 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 4: want that our ego, our pride. But how about this, 196 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 4: What if you want it to be the right hand 197 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 4: or what if you wanted to be out front and 198 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 4: be seen because of good works? What if you wanted 199 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 4: to be out front. It's okay to want the attention, 200 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 4: but what do you want it for? Is the question 201 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 4: you have to ask. There's plenty of folks who are 202 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 4: doing great things out there and getting all kinds of 203 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 4: attention for the good works they're doing. Be that person. 204 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 4: So Wayne Dyer take this with you, folks. He said, 205 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,319 Speaker 4: when you judge another, you don't define them, You define yourself. 206 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 4: That was our Wednesday quote. Then we moved on to 207 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 4: Thursday four, I think, which was one of my favorite 208 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 4: robes from our time. A Good Morning America. 209 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: Yes, this was from the file you kept. This was 210 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: one of the printed out quotes you would put on 211 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: your dressing room door every Monday, so we would all 212 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 1: have some words of wisdom to be inspired by for 213 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: the week. 214 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 2: This was Thursday's quote of the day. 215 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 1: Don't confuse movement with progress. Just because you're doing a 216 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 1: lot more doesn't mean you're getting a lot more done. 217 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 3: This you think from your pas per usual. 218 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 4: I think so, I think so. But it was just 219 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 4: so applicable to I mean news at the time, and 220 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 4: newsrooms that we've all worked in. There were sometimes people 221 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 4: we've had bosses that didn't like it if you didn't 222 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 4: stay late or look like like this appearance of doing 223 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 4: all this stuff to look busy, smoking mirrors. That's all 224 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 4: it is. You're not getting any more done. You're just 225 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 4: doing a lot of things poorly sometimes. 226 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: Do you know what That's just reminded me of, Babe, 227 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: Because you were talking about the news business and how 228 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,959 Speaker 1: this applied to that. We like to watch local news 229 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: everywhere we go when we travel to different cities, and 230 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: we were struck and have been struck by local news 231 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: departments because we have been local news reporters who you 232 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: can tell their news director or someone told them move 233 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 1: while you're talking. 234 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 2: You need movement. You've got to get people's attention. 235 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 1: So there's no reason why this reporter should be walking 236 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: or moving, but just to move to look like you're 237 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 1: doing something important or doing something big, and it's it 238 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: looks ridiculous, by the way, So that actually, like we 239 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: do it all the time, whether it's in front of 240 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 1: a camera or in front of other people, trying. 241 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 2: To show that we're doing something. 242 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 1: But actually, when you're trying to prove something, you might 243 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 1: not actually be focused on what you should be because 244 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 1: it's about the optics. 245 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 2: It's not even. 246 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: About what the intention is or what you're trying to achieve. 247 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 4: We could say a whole lot more because we spent 248 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 4: so much time watching local news recently. Every single live shot, 249 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,839 Speaker 4: the reporter stands there and after two seconds, hell, they 250 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,719 Speaker 4: just step away. They do the exact same move we 251 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 4: were in local news. There was a whole stretch what 252 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 4: they say the news director, I want you to move, 253 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 4: but we're seeing it, and I didn't think about it. 254 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 4: You're so right. That's a very good visual example of 255 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 4: people in local news trying to look like and they 256 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 4: have no information. 257 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: Again, and they're telling you we have no information. The 258 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,319 Speaker 1: PIO officer has not told us anything, and yet we 259 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: don't even know if a woman or a man's been killed. Yeah, 260 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: but they're moving, so oh they must know we're be 261 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: doing something because they're moving right now. 262 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 4: Oh. 263 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 3: I just thought that was like a visual example of 264 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 3: what this quote means. 265 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 4: I didn't know we were going to go there, but yes, 266 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 4: or boy, that's exactly right. But it was. That's why 267 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 4: I loved it in the newsroom and putting it up 268 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 4: to everybody. Just because you don't have to work sixteen 269 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 4: hour days to prove that you're working hard. We can 270 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 4: work seven hour days and crush it on the things 271 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 4: we're doing. I hate this idea that you got to 272 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 4: be busy, you gotta be moving, you gotta work longer. 273 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 4: Look at me, I haven't taken a day off in 274 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 4: six weeks or or whatever it is. Really, that's not impressive. 275 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 4: That used to be us. 276 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 2: That just reminded me. 277 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 1: I literally in my Washington DC newsroom would brag to 278 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: my fellow coworkers that I left fifteen vacation days on 279 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: the table because I was working so hard. Why in 280 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 1: God's name did I think that was something to brag about. 281 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: I look like a fool, And I have to tell 282 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: you that It's one of the big lessons I learned 283 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: over the years. 284 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 3: People, if you're listening, take all. 285 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 2: Your vacation days. 286 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,199 Speaker 1: And some people might be laughing at me, like duh, 287 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: But I do think there are a lot of you 288 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 1: out there, and there are a lot of overachievers out 289 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: there who actually take some sort of pride in not 290 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: taking vacation days. This speaks to that completely. Don't confuse 291 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: movement with progress. Just because you're doing a lot more 292 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: doesn't mean you're getting a lot more done. 293 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 4: Or in our Friday quote, again, this was one you 294 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 4: plucked out. This was a great one. And again, folks 295 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 4: that don't know, we've talked about this here as we 296 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 4: put our morning run together every morning we have separate responsibilities. 297 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 4: You handle the quotes of the day, so allventimes I 298 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 4: don't see them until I see the rundown while we're 299 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 4: in the middle of recording. And this was one that 300 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 4: I saw that I loved, but it threw me off 301 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 4: because I read it live as we were recording, and 302 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 4: it spoke to me. 303 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: Enjoy the little things for one day you may look 304 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: back and realize they were the big things. That almost 305 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: makes me want to cry because I think we're so 306 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: focused on doing big things and making sure we have 307 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: a huge accomplishment that that's the big lofty goal. But 308 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: it's all the little things that we do along the 309 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: way that actually really matter, and we forget that, we 310 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: lose sight of that. We only have, you know, one 311 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: big lofty goal, or we want to be known for 312 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: one big thing, and actually it's all the little things 313 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: you do that make up who you are and how 314 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: you treat people and how you treat yourself. Oh. 315 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 4: I'm thinking of so many scenarios where someone's come up 316 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 4: to me and say, yeah, a few years ago, yeah 317 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 4: you know who I was, but you were the kindest 318 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 4: thing and you stopped and you talked to my kids and. 319 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 3: That what right? 320 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,080 Speaker 4: I didn't remember that. But we always you just say 321 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 4: everybody wants to do big things and want to change 322 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 4: the world. And I always say, sometimes what you do 323 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 4: can mean the world to one individual, and that's okay. 324 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: It can be a thank you, it can be and 325 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: I love you, that's a smile, it could be I'm 326 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: checking in on you. All the little things that you 327 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: don't even think about can have such a major impact 328 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: on other people and on yourselves, and by the way. 329 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: This came from a man named Robert Brault. And I 330 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: say that because I've never heard of him before. But 331 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: I went and looked. He's an author, and he has 332 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 1: for someone I have never heard of, whose name I 333 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: have never heard of my life, or even read for 334 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: that matter, has so many incredible quotes. I went to 335 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: go come up with a bonus quote today, and. 336 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 4: Do we have something for Monday, for tomorrow already a 337 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 4: quote of the day, because this one is so damn 338 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 4: good it is. 339 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: But I know we are.

I'm going to dip back into the 356 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: Robert Bralt vault. I was a poet and didn't know 357 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: it many times, and I'll bring it off. 358 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 4: I wish, no, I wish we were recording this. I 359 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 4: just wanted everybody to be able to share in the 360 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 4: moment you just had with yourself. 361 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 3: You went visually recording, yes. 362 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 4: Vault Bralt, poet, No it you were, you were really 363 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 4: really you were waiting for some help and being amused, 364 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 4: and I wasn't going to give it to you, but 365 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 4: you just went ahead and been amused by yourself. 366 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 3: I can laugh at myself and with myself that one. 367 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: I laughed with myself and at myself with the same Okay, 368 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: there we go, Okay, all right. 369 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 3: Here's the quote from Robert from his vault. From his vault. 370 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: Sometimes we can't find the thing that will make us 371 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: happy because we can't let go of the thing that 372 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: was supposed to and let the. 373 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 4: Church say, amen, dang, if you can take that is 374 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 4: one that just some calls we have that don't need 375 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 4: much explanation, we talk about them and where they came from. 376 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,199 Speaker 4: This is one that if you say this to yourself, 377 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,360 Speaker 4: maybe once before lunch, once after lunch, once at dinner, 378 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:15,879 Speaker 4: you'll go Holy hell, and you'll look back at your 379 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 4: life and so many things. Often first thing I went 380 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,719 Speaker 4: to was relationships. Yep, same the first thing I went to, 381 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 4: But there are plenty of other things. Second thing I 382 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 4: went to was job. Yes, I Sometimes we can't find 383 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 4: a thing that will make us happy because we can't 384 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 4: let go of the thing that was supposed to what 385 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 4: was supposed to make you happy. Robes five years ago, 386 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 4: ten years ago, fifteen years ago, twenty years ago, and 387 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 4: you look back and say, Wow, this is the actual 388 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 4: thing I wanted to make me happy, and there was 389 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 4: no way I could have it because I was holding 390 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 4: on to that thing that I was hoping was going 391 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 4: to make me happy. 392 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 1: It's so hard to let go. It's so hard to 393 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: let go and to recognize it. Sometimes that's the only 394 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 1: way forward, is to leave something behind, to close that 395 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: door and walk through a new one. But that is 396 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: so one of the hardest things to do in life, 397 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 1: because we all have expectations of what should be and 398 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,720 Speaker 1: when things don't go the way they should go in 399 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: our minds. We hold on to it and try to 400 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: control it and make it and manipulate it so that 401 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: it will be But we can't do that in life. 402 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 2: And those are part of the lessons when you can look. 403 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 1: Back and have a little perspective and say, that's exactly 404 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: how it had to happen. And honestly, my biggest regret 405 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: is I wish I had done it sooner. That's usually 406 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: the regret you have, not that you did it, but 407 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: that you would have rather done it sooner. 408 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 4: But here we are, hopefully exactly where we all are 409 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 4: supposed to be. So folks, take that with you from 410 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,919 Speaker 4: the Brault vault. Sometimes we can't find a thing that 411 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 4: will make us happy because we can't let go of 412 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 4: the thing that was supposed too. And with that, folks, 413 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 4: I hope you're having a great Sunday. Hopefully one of 414 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,360 Speaker 4: those quotes in there spoke to you and you can 415 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 4: take it with you.
