00:00:00.640 --> 00:00:04.639
Hey, it's Jennifer Jones Lee.
You're listening to kf I Am six forty

2
00:00:04.759 --> 00:00:12.000
wake Up Call on demand on the
iHeartRadio app. That's Monday, man,

3
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:18.920
it's time to rise and shine.
Here's Jennifer Jones Lee with your morning wake

4
00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:29.039
up call. I would like to
say good morning to the fourteen of you

5
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:34.240
who are out there driving this morning. This is one of those days where

6
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:41.759
you're driving in It reminded me of
a pandemic morning where nobody is on the

7
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:46.759
road and I can I can literally
have a stretch of the two ten or

8
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:53.719
the one thirty four by myself.
And it's a little eerie because I think

9
00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:58.359
you're you know, you get so
used to the congestion on the road,

10
00:00:58.439 --> 00:01:00.479
so then when you don't have it, you're like, hey, what's going

11
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:07.000
on here? But you know what
I did like about that is that meant

12
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:12.519
that all of you, who are
maybe just now waking up, have Memorial

13
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:19.400
Day off. And I think this
is such an important holiday because what it

14
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:25.719
does is if you take that moment
to take a breath and think about why

15
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:29.680
we are getting a day off,
why we get to go to barbecues,

16
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:34.079
why we get to go swim in
the neighbor's pool whatever. There's a reason

17
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.239
for that. And it's not just
because you got a day off. It's

18
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:46.000
because somebody sacrificed for the freedom for
you to go to that barbecue or that

19
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:51.959
pool party, or whatever it happens
to be. And so to all of

20
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:57.719
the families out there who lost a
loved one fighting for our freedom, and

21
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:02.640
honestly to all of you who fought
for our freedom so that we could have

22
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:08.319
this Memorial Day, I say thank
you and God bless you. We'll get

23
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:14.319
into the history of Memorial Day coming
up. And also we're gonna do Memorial

24
00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:17.360
Day by the numbers, because I
can't have a holiday and not play with

25
00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:22.240
it a little bit. So while
we're commemorating today, I also know we're

26
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:24.479
eating hot dogs and that kind of
stuff. And how many we are eating

27
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:29.120
today we'll get into a little bit
later. Also, LA Mayor Bass is

28
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:34.479
set to attend the first public event
for Memorial Day at the LA National Cemetery

29
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.840
since twenty nineteen. Also, we'll
talk about an officer involved shooting at a

30
00:02:38.919 --> 00:02:45.960
home depot in Burbank. And wait
till you hear how much Disney's remake of

31
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.240
The Little Mermaid took in on its
opening day weekend. Remember how I was

32
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.719
saying to it really needed another Little
Mermaid. Apparently we did, according to

33
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:57.360
most of you. So we'll get
into that in just a moment, but

34
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.520
let's start with some of these stories
coming out of the KFI twenty four hour

35
00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:06.159
newsroom. The California Attorney General's Office
is investigating an officer involved shooting at a

36
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:08.759
home depot in Burbank. State investigators
were called to the scene of the shooting

37
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:13.360
that happened in the parking lot during
business hours. Burbank police say on Saturday

38
00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:15.400
afternoon, a man sitting in a
car had been threatening to shoot people,

39
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:20.599
then he assumed the shooting stance prior
to being shot. Police wouldn't say if

40
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.919
a weapon was recovered or even if
the man opened fire, but under AB

41
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:28.120
fifteen oh six, the Attorney General's
Office will not investigate officer involved shootings or

42
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:32.759
fatal uses of force unless the person
killed was unarmed. Steve Gregory Camfie News,

43
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:40.719
I'm just getting a story now off
of KTLA that apparently there was a

44
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:46.560
robbery at a taco truck on Sunday
night, So sometime last night, there's

45
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:52.400
video now of this taco truck parked
near the intersection of one hundred third Street

46
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:57.639
in South Avalon Boulevard. That's kind
of the Willowbrook area. When you see

47
00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:01.599
these two suspects go up to the
taco truck just before midnight, I think

48
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:05.319
it was around eleven forty five.
There's a guy in a blue hoodie and

49
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:10.879
he looks like he's holding a gun. He grabs one of the employees,

50
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:14.639
pushes him up against the van,
holds the gun to his neck, and

51
00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:20.319
at one point the suspect punched the
employee and continued to hold onto him while

52
00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:25.240
getting into the taco truck and pulling
out cash. Now, it looks like

53
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:30.600
the robbers also may have taken in
the cell phone videos and wallets. Now

54
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:34.399
police are looking for these guys who
got away in what was described as a

55
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:41.480
newer model white Honda Accord, and
we're trying to get let's see maybe one

56
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:46.360
of the guys might have been Are
they saying that this was a blond man.

57
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:50.839
Maybe I'll get you more details on
what the people look like the robbers

58
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:56.319
look like, but man, you
just come on now. People are trying

59
00:04:56.319 --> 00:05:00.199
to make a living out there,
and then this happens to them. Lamare

60
00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:04.639
Bass is set to attend the first
public event for Memorial Day at the LA

61
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:11.720
National Cemetery since twenty nineteen. She's
expected to recognize the service of fallen military

62
00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:15.879
members and talk about the public and
how it can do more to help veterans

63
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:18.839
they need so. The ceremony this
morning will also include a speech from the

64
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:24.079
commander of the Air Force Test Center
that's at Edwards Air Force, based music

65
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:28.839
by the three hundredth Army Band,
and displays by Buffalo Soldier and Civil War

66
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:32.120
reenactors. Also, a ceremony is
being held in Long Beach to read the

67
00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:36.480
names of the more than seven thousand
US service members who have died in combat

68
00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:43.959
or during training exercises and humanitarian efforts
since nine to eleven. Organizer Laura Herzog

69
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:47.879
tells NBC four gold Star Family members, active duty military, police, first

70
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:51.600
responders, and veterans will all help
read the names. What will happen at

71
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:57.279
five thirty some active military members and
some first responders will come, and they're

72
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:00.879
going to come in shifts throughout the
day today and we will begin with reading

73
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.439
the name of the first following service
member since nine to eleven and we will

74
00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:10.519
conclude with the reading of the thirteen
that were killed in Kabul. The ceremony

75
00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:15.759
at the honoring our Fallen Memorial Wall
at Rosie the Riveter Park is expected to

76
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:21.360
take hours. So what is the
history of Memorial Day? Tyler? Do

77
00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:27.439
you have any idea what they called
Memorial Day originally? I actually don't.

78
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:32.920
I'm curious. Decoration Day. So
apparently it was the early tradition of decorating

79
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:36.959
graves with flowers, wreaths and flags, so that's why they called it that.

80
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:43.600
Now, it was first widely observed
in eighteen sixty eight May thirtieth,

81
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:48.040
eighteen sixty eight, and it was
to commemorate the sacrifices of Civil War soldiers.

82
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:55.959
And now, during the first national
commemoration you had former Union general and

83
00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:00.920
sitting Ohio Congressman James Garfield make a
speech at Arlington National Cemetery, after which

84
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:06.319
five thousand people helped to decorate the
graves of the more than twenty thousand Union

85
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:12.680
and Confederate soldiers who were buried there. Well, this event sort of seemed

86
00:07:12.720 --> 00:07:20.120
to galvanize these kind of piecemealed efforts
of remembering fallen soldiers. And it was

87
00:07:20.279 --> 00:07:25.040
in May. It was May first, eighteen sixty five, there was a

88
00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:30.040
gathering in Charleston, South Carolina that
was organized by freed slaves to pay tribute

89
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:35.000
and give proper burial to Union troops. In eighteen seventy three, it was

90
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:41.480
actually New York which was the first
state, I guess, to designate Memorial

91
00:07:41.560 --> 00:07:46.879
Day as illegal holiday. And by
the late eighteen hundreds you had more cities

92
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:51.399
and communities observing Memorial Day. Several
states even declared it a legal holiday,

93
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:56.839
but New York was the first.
Then it was after World War One that

94
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:01.519
it became an occasion to honor all
of those who would died in America's wars

95
00:08:01.920 --> 00:08:07.079
and more widely established than as a
national holiday throughout the United States. But

96
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:11.480
it wasn't until nineteen seventy one.
And I think that's fascinating to me that

97
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:20.120
it took a hundred years for Congress
to pass the Uniform Monday Holiday Act and

98
00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:26.639
established Memorial Day as a commemorated day
on the last Monday of May. Now,

99
00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:31.519
Memorial Day is commemorated at Arlington National
Cemetery every year. You've got that,

100
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:35.879
you know, laying of the wreath, which is usually from the President.

101
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.759
Traditionally it is the president or vice
president that puts that, you know,

102
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:46.440
the wreath on the tomb of the
unknown Soldier. If you've never or

103
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:54.679
if you have never been to Washington, DC and gone to Arlington National Cemetery,

104
00:08:54.879 --> 00:09:00.519
I ask you to do that.
So my dad, you know,

105
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:03.840
my dad's a paper or he was
a paper he's retired now, but he

106
00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:09.279
worked for JFSHA Construction, which actually
is based right here in Walnut. So

107
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:15.639
my dad worked there for I don't
even know, since he was like eighteen,

108
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:20.960
so fifty years, I guess.
And anyway, he worked on the

109
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:26.559
tunnels in Washington, DC. And
when I was like twenty one or twenty

110
00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:28.320
two, Mom, dad, and
I my brother, we all went to

111
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:33.720
DC and my dad wanted to take
us there just so that we kind of

112
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.440
see history. But then also he
wanted to see whatever happened to the tunnels

113
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:43.519
that he worked on when he was
young. So we went and it just

114
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:48.559
so happened that one of the tunnels
and one of the entrances that he was

115
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:54.000
working on was the one that goes
to Arlington. And I'm twenty one years

116
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:58.840
old and I don't really you know, I'm not super into history or anything

117
00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:03.120
like that, and we get you. So you get off the subway and

118
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:09.360
you go up this giant escalator.
So we're on the escalator, do you

119
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:13.840
the four of us. We get
to the top, and I'd read a

120
00:10:13.919 --> 00:10:18.399
little bit about Arlington, so I
knew what it was obviously, but you

121
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.320
know, in school. But for
whatever reason, when we got to the

122
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:33.679
top and you see nothing but graves
of the men and women who died for

123
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:41.960
our country, I bawled like a
little baby. I don't know what it

124
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:48.679
will. It's like this wave of
oh my gosh. It's not that I

125
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:52.840
didn't believe it until I saw it, but I don't know that I understood

126
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:58.919
how impactful that was. And it
was just, oh my gosh. Talking

127
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:01.159
about it right now, I have
goosebumps. So you guys, I can

128
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:07.279
still remember that moment and I look
over. My brother was little, he

129
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:11.840
didn't really impact him, but Mom
and Dad both had tears in their eyes.

130
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:15.720
It was, Oh, I just
please, I recommend you do it.

131
00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:20.279
If you haven't, it is really
well worth it. Now you've got

132
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:24.320
veterans in Orange County who say they
still don't have a cemetery for a fallen

133
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:30.759
service members. Army veteran and OC
resident Ezekiel Garcia says lawmakers should have designated

134
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.600
a final resting place for vets to
go a long time ago. To be

135
00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:41.039
able to have a veteran cemetery here
locally would mean a law and would mean

136
00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:45.080
a law to the local veterans here
to be able to know that they have

137
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.879
a space. Governor knew some sign
legislation last year approving a local site,

138
00:11:48.919 --> 00:11:52.840
but people who live in OC say
they still don't have a place to visit

139
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:58.799
loved ones this Memorial Day. That's
could have chosen a site in Gypsum Canyon

140
00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:01.279
where the cemetery could be place,
but the land will have to be evaluated

141
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:07.639
to make sure that it is suitable. It finally happens. Preached the bipartisan

142
00:12:07.720 --> 00:12:13.360
budget agreements, President Biden announced an
agreement has been reached with how Speaker McCarthy

143
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.440
to raise the debt ceiling and avoid
defaults. It a threat of kind of

144
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:22.320
stopt to fall off the table,
protects our hard earned and historic economic recovery,

145
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:26.320
and the agreement also represents the compromises
means no one got everything they want.

146
00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:33.000
Did you really think that it wasn't
going to happen? Really? I

147
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.320
agree The ninety nine page bill includes
provisions to fund medical care for veterans,

148
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:43.559
change work requirements for some recipients of
government aid, and streamline environmental reviews for

149
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.039
energy products. Biden has urged Congress
to pass it. Some Republicans say the

150
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:52.559
compromise doesn't cut future deficits enough.
Democrats say they're concerned about proposed changes to

151
00:12:52.600 --> 00:13:00.840
work requirements and programs like food stamps. All right, Tyler and Nick,

152
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.759
it is your chance to do Memorial
Day by the numbers? All right?

153
00:13:05.960 --> 00:13:09.200
Are the three of you ready?
I'm ready. Let's go. Let's go.

154
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:15.600
Anne's never played before, well,
first time, all right, So

155
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:20.080
how about them this morning? Anne
gets to go first? All right?

156
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:28.559
How many hot dogs are consumed every
second in the nation on Memorial Day?

157
00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:33.320
And so in one second, how
many hot dogs do you think are consumed?

158
00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:41.039
One point five million? Okay?
Nick? Every second? No?

159
00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:52.159
No, every second? Yeah,
one point five million seems a bit extreme.

160
00:13:54.279 --> 00:14:03.080
She's people like hot dogs, right, I love hot dogs. I

161
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:13.960
think even Neil would scoff at that. One second. Tyler, hold on,

162
00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:18.720
I gotta do some quick math.
Carry the three four ten. I'm

163
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:24.639
gonna say sixteen thousand hot dogs per
second? On Memorial Day? All right,

164
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:33.919
Nick is the winner closest to eight
hundred eighteen. However, eight hundred

165
00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:41.039
eighteen are consumed every second, which
means a total of seven billion hot dogs

166
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:46.960
consumed today. Wow, that's all
what are you talking? Well, I

167
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:56.759
don't know. Oh that's right.
M hmm yeah, because that's what you

168
00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:01.679
were implying for sure. All right, Wait, how much money do you

169
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:07.440
guys think is spent on sales of
meat for Memorial Day? And I'll start

170
00:15:07.480 --> 00:15:13.120
with you. At all, meat, including hot dogs, including hot dogs,

171
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:16.840
hot dogs are cheap. Remember that
for this one day, one day,

172
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:26.639
five million, five million dollars.
Okay, Tyler, sixty million dollars

173
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:35.600
Nick, Nick closest again, it's
whatever, Nick, one point six cheating?

174
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:41.879
Do you have a cheat sheet?
One point six billion dollars spent on

175
00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:48.039
that's a lot of wheenies if you're
buying them. Let's see. How about

176
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:56.399
how many Americans plan to travel over
the Memorial Day weekend? And I will

177
00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:03.240
tell you this. It's in the
millions. So you first ten ten million,

178
00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:11.000
okay, Tyler? Thirty million?
Okay? Nick? Okay, Oh

179
00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:15.679
well the way the price is right? Okay? Then Tyler, this is

180
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:21.120
you forty two point three million.
There you go, put them on the

181
00:16:21.159 --> 00:16:29.960
board. I think period. Anybody, Yeah, anybody traveling. Okay,

182
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:36.399
let's totally that's what I think too, But I guess a lot of people

183
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:41.559
are flying. Speaking of that,
can you guess which city is the most

184
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:49.879
popular domestic destination for Memorial Day weekend? It is? Uh, let's see,

185
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:55.080
okay, so yeah, domestics,
so city in the US, and

186
00:16:55.200 --> 00:17:00.320
I will tell you it's on the
eastern side of the country. Okay,

187
00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:07.960
who are you going to? First? An? Um, Miami? Okay,

188
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:18.960
Tyler, Nashville, Tennessee. Okay, Nick, yeah, I think

189
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.519
that's that was That's Upper East Coast, isn't it? Unless it was the

190
00:17:22.559 --> 00:17:25.200
first are you talking about the first
one? That was Miramar right here?

191
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:33.640
Remember remember how he goes You're going
to Mirramar she said, She said,

192
00:17:34.359 --> 00:17:40.839
Okay, it's it's the country,
but she don't care. Okay, Actually,

193
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:48.039
Anne, you are the closest closest
because it's Orlando. So everybody's going

194
00:17:48.079 --> 00:17:52.279
to Disney World. Nice, all
right, let's see. Uh how about

195
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:59.440
this? Um, oh my god, a score check? We got a

196
00:17:59.440 --> 00:18:03.400
score check? I still think,
Nick, and then like Nick three,

197
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:08.079
and then an each one each one. Yes, let's see. Um oh,

198
00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:11.720
I'm trying to find one that's not
a downer because we have a lot

199
00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:15.440
that are like how many traffic fatalities
on this Uh? Oh? How about

200
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:22.920
this one? What percentage of our
major roads are in mediocre or poor condition?

201
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:29.319
And this one? I went,
I don't know about that? What

202
00:18:29.519 --> 00:18:33.720
major? Yes, highways, major
roads? Yeah, so highways in our

203
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:42.400
states are poor or mediocre condition.
Okay, so fifty you're going fifty percent?

204
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:45.880
Is it a percent? Yeah?
Percent? What percent? Oh?

205
00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:51.480
No, that's too high. I'm
gonna go twenty two okay, Nick,

206
00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:57.720
Okay, Tyler, I'm gonna go
on the higher side and go twenty five

207
00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:03.200
percent. All right, Tyler,
there with the win closest without going over

208
00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:07.720
forty percent. Yeah. Wow.
If I had guessed that one, I

209
00:19:07.720 --> 00:19:11.880
would have said, like seventy five
percent, don't. I mean every road

210
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:15.519
around here sucks, right, it's
potholes? Is I mean? So?

211
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:18.240
Anyway? I thought that that was
actually a little bit low. Okay,

212
00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:22.640
you gotta have at least one more
I do. Okay, what percentage of

213
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:29.079
Americans are planning a summer trip this
year? Oh, that's a lot.

214
00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:41.079
That's how you first a go ahead, Um seventy okay? Nick? Okay,

215
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:45.400
Tyler, Oh man, I feel
like those are really good numbers.

216
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:53.680
I'm gonna go middle sixty sixty eighty
five percent, So Nick, you're still

217
00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:57.799
winning this one. I'm gonna do
one last one just because why hasn't he

218
00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:00.960
pulled away with it? Though he
were? He has, but still it's

219
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:07.559
just fine, all right? Fine, one last one? Okay? What

220
00:20:07.839 --> 00:20:14.400
percentage of companies close their offices on
Memorial Day? I am doing this just

221
00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:17.960
for us, you guys. Yeah, we clearly have an outlier, all

222
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:22.839
right, So what percentage here?
Well, yeah, I don't know where

223
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:27.839
we fall in, Okay, So
go ahead and last one for you?

224
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:41.079
What percentage? I'm gonna say sixty
five okay, Tyler? Seventy okay?

225
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:48.960
Nick, Tyler actually with the win
on that one. But here's what sucks.

226
00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:56.400
Ninety five percent of companies close their
offices on Memorial Day, which I

227
00:20:56.440 --> 00:21:00.400
think is wonderful. The sucky part
is we are in the five Yeah,

228
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:07.079
totally. Other than that, do
Memorial Day the right way. Everybody go

229
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:11.799
to some observance to something, put
flags out this morning, whatever it is,

230
00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:15.200
to show that you know why we
get today. And then go to

231
00:21:15.240 --> 00:21:25.200
your barbecue. How's that sound fair? Thanks guys and congrats nick again.

232
00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:30.079
Who um, well, I don't
have right. We'll slap on the shoulder.

233
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:32.599
Nice work, kid, Way to
go, kiddo the job. Nick

234
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:37.279
La Mayor Bass will be at the
first public event for Memorial Day at the

235
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:42.160
Los Angeles National Cemetery since twenty nineteen. She's expected to recognize the service of

236
00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:48.079
fallen military members and talk about how
the public can do more to also serve

237
00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:52.559
the veterans in need. In Canoga
Park. Today, we've got the Memorial

238
00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:56.400
Day Parade returning for the first time
in three years. The opening ceremony will

239
00:21:56.440 --> 00:22:00.640
include a wreath laying at the Wall
of Honor and honorees from the Korean War

240
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:06.640
and World War Two. Among them
is a one hundred year old Navy machinist

241
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:12.160
who witnessed six Marines raising the American
flag during the Battle of Iwajima in nineteen

242
00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:17.000
forty five. Remember that iconic picture. That guy got to see it,

243
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:21.599
you know. And it's it's men
like him that as I get older,

244
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:26.400
I start to understand, like I
wish that I had been able to ask

245
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:30.480
my grandparents more about our family history. Things like that. Or a man

246
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:34.440
like that. That's the guy that
you want to go seek out in the

247
00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:40.880
crowd and say, walk me through
what you saw that day. I just

248
00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:44.480
wish that, you know, I
wish I knew then what I know now.

249
00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:48.119
And oh another Toby Keith song that
I was referencing there, But no,

250
00:22:48.319 --> 00:22:56.119
seriously, I wish that I asked
more questions of older people who got

251
00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:59.759
to experience things like that. I
wish I could be out there today,

252
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:03.440
would be asking him. Let's talk
about some of these stories we've got in

253
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:07.119
our biz bites this morning, on
this Memorial Day, markets are closed,

254
00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:11.880
but I do have some news for
you. State Farm Insurance has stopped except

255
00:23:11.400 --> 00:23:18.160
accepting applications for property sales in California. The company says it's just too expensive

256
00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:23.240
to operate in the state because of
wildfires and construction expenses. State Farm says

257
00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:29.880
it will continue to cover existing customers
and the change does not affect car insurance.

258
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:33.720
I wondered when I saw this story, if this is a sign of

259
00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:37.839
things to come. So you know
that it's already hard enough if you're in

260
00:23:37.920 --> 00:23:44.319
certain areas in California to get any
type of fire insurance for your home,

261
00:23:44.440 --> 00:23:47.960
right you have to go with one
of the state plans, the supplemental plans.

262
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:51.039
But in this case, now you
have insurers who would just say,

263
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:56.039
no, not going to do business
in California anymore. We'll stick with those

264
00:23:56.079 --> 00:24:00.440
of you that we have, but
after that that we're out. Anyway,

265
00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:04.000
I just I wonder if that's a
sign of things to come. Oh bang,

266
00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:14.319
bud Light. Budweiser have not tweeted
anything over a month as this backlash

267
00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:18.240
over transgender influencers, you know,
go on. So it was Dylan mulvaaney

268
00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:25.359
and there apparently the company last tweeted
April fourteenth with a picture of a bud

269
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:33.559
light can caption tgi F question mark. That tweet sparked thirty two thousand replies,

270
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:40.920
largely critical of its partnership with Dylan
mulvaney, who rose to fame after

271
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:47.880
detailing three hundred and sixty five days
of girlhood. Now apparently somebody even tweeted

272
00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:52.279
just bought my first case of course
banquet in decades, and they said no

273
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:59.559
more Budweiser hashtag get woke, Go
broke, which actually is this hashtag that's

274
00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:03.319
gaining, you know, big momentum
lately. But I was looking at the

275
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:07.799
changes in just what the company gets
as far as that its shares go.

276
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:15.400
And it looks like it's down in
some cases point one six percent, point

277
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:22.519
three eight percent. Yeah, it's
not good. And I think a lot

278
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:23.680
of people I don't see. Here's
the thing, though, I don't know

279
00:25:23.720 --> 00:25:29.839
how long this will last. People
get oftentimes very upset and they go out

280
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:33.839
and they'll you know, they'll speak
with their money or lack thereof, as

281
00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:37.119
the case maybe when it comes to
buying bud Light. How long does that

282
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:40.799
last? Though? Are we getting
over it? Does bud Light have to

283
00:25:40.839 --> 00:25:45.119
come back and do something to acquiesce
to the people who say, now we're

284
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:48.119
not going to buy it anymore because
we don't like what you're doing. I

285
00:25:48.160 --> 00:25:51.119
don't know. I don't know how
they're going to get away from that one.

286
00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:55.000
And finally, if you have a
southern extent, which Tyler, I

287
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:59.759
thought of you last night, and
how you tease me violations a lot,

288
00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:06.559
lib Yes, I have a hell
of a time with IA's. That's where

289
00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:11.920
my little redneck writingness comes out.
So if you hear me say violations liable

290
00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:18.640
lawyer, yeah, Tyler teases me. Anyway, there's a study that says

291
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:25.640
if you have a Southern accent,
it could cost you twenty percent wage penalties,

292
00:26:26.440 --> 00:26:30.920
which I think is crap. One
said that it was a study by

293
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:36.720
this company called Writing Tips Institute that
found people with a Southern accent where the

294
00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:41.559
fourth most likely to try and change
their voice. And I don't know,

295
00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:47.440
I'm not one hundred percent sure why. It just showed that there is a

296
00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:52.519
wage penalty of up to twenty percent
compared to people who speak with a standard

297
00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:57.039
accent. I don't know what a
standard accent is compared to a Southern accent,

298
00:26:57.720 --> 00:27:02.519
but they say at a lot of
people are trying to do what they

299
00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:07.400
call soften their voice so that they
don't have that I guess when they're applying

300
00:27:07.400 --> 00:27:11.240
for a job interview. But you
know what I say, you be you.

301
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:17.319
You'll be proud if you say things
like violation or lawyer. I remember

302
00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:19.880
when Scott and I first got together. He, you know, my ex

303
00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:23.160
husband, being from the South,
he's got this, you know, incredible

304
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:32.960
Southern accent and especially if he's tired
for whatever. And he said he was

305
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:38.039
going to carry me to get my
all changed. And there was something else

306
00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:41.200
to it, Oh, I know
what it was, And then it was

307
00:27:41.240 --> 00:27:44.519
something about and then we'll go to
the store because we need some blah blah

308
00:27:44.559 --> 00:27:48.680
and some foal. I did not
know what oil or fool was. That

309
00:27:48.799 --> 00:27:53.119
was oil changed and we needed some
foil. And when he said he was

310
00:27:53.119 --> 00:27:59.680
going to carry me, I thought
I'd smush him. I don't know how

311
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:04.440
he's not going to carry me.
That just means take you. But in

312
00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:10.799
Southern speak, I did not understand
for a while. They need a Southern

313
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:15.079
dictionary, really, they do.
Nick Paliokeney, you spoke Horgi over the

314
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:19.599
weekend. I saw the videos that
you have up there, and I wish

315
00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:22.960
I could have been out there for
it. Sanna Anita Park, it was

316
00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:26.559
amazing, so we had a great
time. This took place in the green

317
00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:30.279
center field. So there were horse
races going on around a little short legged

318
00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:33.279
corgy race. Oh you're kidding.
While you guys were there, right,

319
00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:36.759
So we went back and forth,
back and forth, so we'd have one

320
00:28:36.799 --> 00:28:41.559
heat of the corgis and there were
ten heats, ten racers and eat so

321
00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:45.079
one hundred corgies we saw yesterday and
there were in the thousands of corgies that

322
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.480
had applied, so they had to
do a lottery system. We talked to

323
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:52.359
Kelly last week. Here you talked
to Kelly last week. Who created Kelly

324
00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:56.480
and Dan? They are thank you. I was, yes, I was

325
00:28:56.480 --> 00:29:00.960
gonna say I couldn't remember that.
Dan announces Kelly is a aboost and she

326
00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:04.279
is running that event super tight and
having a great time and running around doing

327
00:29:04.359 --> 00:29:07.400
that. But it was wild to
see it. So we would do the

328
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:12.599
Corgis in the center grass area and
then it would go over to whatever racing

329
00:29:12.680 --> 00:29:17.480
was going on in sant Anita Park
for the ponies, and then it would

330
00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:18.920
come back to us, and then
at the end it moved onto the track

331
00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:22.279
after the ponies had rapped for the
day for the finals. Oh, I

332
00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:26.880
love it. Who won? So
it was as we talked about em at

333
00:29:26.880 --> 00:29:33.799
the Corgi did come in first again, Tony was second and Oliver was third.

334
00:29:33.079 --> 00:29:37.519
Oh, and it was really wild
just to see them and they had

335
00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:41.160
some seniors that raced, and yeah, it was having done. I don't

336
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:45.440
know I'm becoming Jennifer Jones Lee or
maybe producer Michelle truly, because I'm all

337
00:29:45.480 --> 00:29:48.480
about the dogs these last two weekends, and I forget somebody asked me,

338
00:29:48.480 --> 00:29:49.880
oh, do you want to go
to this was like, Wow, I

339
00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:53.680
guess I'm becoming that person officially you
are. Now I'm gonna I'll be working

340
00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:57.279
with Westminster Kennel Club next, you
know kind of things. Oh, Nick,

341
00:29:57.400 --> 00:30:00.599
if you get to do that,
please let me be your field producer.

342
00:30:00.640 --> 00:30:03.240
Oh my gosh. If I get
to do that, I would be

343
00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:06.319
like, you really should talk to
Jennifer Jones. No, no, you

344
00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:08.359
can. I can pass the baton
to you if you can get that.

345
00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:11.680
Oh my gosh, you can be
the dog guy and I will just like

346
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:15.880
I'll hold your equipment. I'll go
to all the events with you. No,

347
00:30:15.039 --> 00:30:18.680
no, I always love a plus
one and you would be the best

348
00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:21.680
person to have in my back pocket. Oh my gosh. Well, thank

349
00:30:21.720 --> 00:30:25.799
you for covering the Corgis and super
fun. Tell people where they can see

350
00:30:25.799 --> 00:30:29.960
your video. You can see the
video on This Weekend with Nick. That

351
00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:32.920
is on Instagram. It's easiest place
to track it down. Also, Nick

352
00:30:32.960 --> 00:30:36.160
Poliochini on Facebook you can find me. That's a little bit more challenging,

353
00:30:36.799 --> 00:30:41.640
but you can also see some of
it over with the Mandus. Mondo from

354
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:45.839
Gary and Shannon was also with me
yesterday, so he actually talked to Dan

355
00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:48.400
and did an interview that he'll be
putting up a little bit later on today.

356
00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:51.359
So it was kind of a Cafi
family weekend, if you will.

357
00:30:51.400 --> 00:30:52.799
So we had a great time,
and again, thank you to Dan and

358
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:56.799
Kelly for having us out there.
All right, that's awesome. It was

359
00:30:56.839 --> 00:31:00.480
fun. Yes, check out the
videos. Super cute. I mean,

360
00:31:00.640 --> 00:31:03.000
anytime you get dogs and then dogs
are racing each other for fun. Come

361
00:31:03.000 --> 00:31:07.960
on, now, that's a good
day. Amy Menaya who is joining us

362
00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:14.519
this morning about burnout? Amy,
I am telling you I know so many

363
00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:18.680
people who say they are burned out
in some portion of their life, but

364
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:23.240
usually it's their job. Amy is
the author of the Path to Break Free

365
00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:29.880
from Burnout and the host of Life
on My Terms podcast. I love empowerment

366
00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:32.960
like this. So Amy, tell
us a little bit more about how we

367
00:31:33.039 --> 00:31:37.480
can break free of burnout. Yeah, oh gosh, you said it when

368
00:31:37.519 --> 00:31:42.200
you said everyone you know is suffering
from burnout. We are like, we're

369
00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:45.920
in a hustle culture ideology, right, yes, yes, we are like

370
00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:51.599
chasing productivity and go getters are like, man, if I keep chasing this

371
00:31:51.720 --> 00:31:53.519
productivity, I'm going to get what
I want. And the truth of the

372
00:31:53.559 --> 00:31:57.799
matter is they're going to get burned
out every time. I think when we

373
00:31:57.839 --> 00:32:01.720
think about burnout, we think of
three things that come up all the time,

374
00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:07.079
and my coaching and in my own
experience with burnout, and it's not

375
00:32:07.200 --> 00:32:12.240
protecting our time, not protecting our
energy, and not putting ourselves first.

376
00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:20.160
So we see these three things and
they usually lead to the same five symptoms

377
00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:24.720
and their exhaustion, isolation. We
tend to have escape fantasies too. I

378
00:32:24.720 --> 00:32:29.000
don't know, folks listening that are
burned out. You always have this feeling

379
00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:34.519
of like I should run away,
or I feel stuck. Irritability and frequent

380
00:32:34.559 --> 00:32:39.640
illnesses and health issues, and so
burnout is really really a deteriorator of the

381
00:32:40.279 --> 00:32:45.400
physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing, and so it's really serious. You

382
00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:50.519
know, I'm glad that you brought
up to that sort of chasing whatever you're

383
00:32:50.599 --> 00:32:53.119
chasing, and that you're going to
get burned out along the way, because

384
00:32:53.119 --> 00:32:57.920
I think a lot of people feel
like if they could get to whatever they

385
00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:01.119
deem the pinnacle of their career,
if they could just get there, then

386
00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:05.599
they would be on some or in
some mecca like that's it. I would

387
00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:08.799
have made it, and then everything
those those feelings of isolation and those you

388
00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:14.160
know, my health issues will all
go away because I'll be so happy that

389
00:33:14.319 --> 00:33:20.039
I achieved whatever it is, and
that's not necessarily the case. No,

390
00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:22.839
no, no, you know it's
funny in my own burnout story, when

391
00:33:22.839 --> 00:33:28.880
he looked in hindsight, you are
constantly chasing what's next, and there will

392
00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:34.720
always be what's next, because a
lot of times when we are in this

393
00:33:34.839 --> 00:33:38.079
mindset of life, I'm chasing the
next to do, I'm chasing a monetary

394
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:44.160
figure, I'm chasing the next promotion, we oftentimes are like actually leaving our

395
00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:49.279
authentic self on the sideline somewhere,
and we are stripping ourselves and losing our

396
00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:52.599
identity. So a lot of times
when you talk to like folks that have

397
00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:57.839
reached like six some milestones, which
I'm saying what society deemed successful, like

398
00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:02.000
really wealthy folks for instance, they
tend to be not fulfilled. And the

399
00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:06.480
reason is that they often are chasing
the wrong metrics. And so when we

400
00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:10.239
can pull folks out of burnout,
when we can move them away from like

401
00:34:10.360 --> 00:34:15.880
to tell them to just slow down, and they start to reconnect with what's

402
00:34:15.920 --> 00:34:19.760
important to them, they might realize
that, Okay, you know what,

403
00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:22.559
I actually have enough right now,
but I don't have enough of this facet

404
00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:27.519
of my life, and I need
to go put time there. And so

405
00:34:27.559 --> 00:34:31.480
they start to realize that while the
career progression was like that was so important

406
00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:37.039
to them for so long, they
sacrificed their kids, you know, games,

407
00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:40.719
they haven't spent enough time with family, They've not traveled without working for

408
00:34:40.880 --> 00:34:45.280
five years, and so we really
start to see a real imbalance happening in

409
00:34:45.320 --> 00:34:50.480
other facets of the life. How
do you press pause? Though, once

410
00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:53.360
you're in that sort of race,
I guess, to get to wherever you

411
00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:59.039
want, it's very hard to just
stop or to pull the car over and

412
00:34:59.119 --> 00:35:02.280
say I've got to re evaluate.
How do you do that? Yeah?

413
00:35:02.320 --> 00:35:06.960
So, you know, I think
I wrote the book because I actually am

414
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:12.679
trying to help folks realize that they
could be in some stage of burnout before

415
00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:15.599
they hit rock bottom. For me, I had to hit rock bottom to

416
00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:21.119
realize that I needed to slow down. But I think you can do simple

417
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:24.480
exercises, like, for instance,
if you're starting to realize that there is

418
00:35:24.599 --> 00:35:29.480
chronic stress in your life, you
need to take a moment to be a

419
00:35:29.480 --> 00:35:31.440
little bit more self aware. I
think if you can even tap into the

420
00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:37.280
self awareness to say, okay,
what are the what are the stressors that

421
00:35:37.360 --> 00:35:40.400
are going on every single day?
You know, you don't want to take

422
00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:45.920
people's goals away, but oftentimes,
like I said before, if we think

423
00:35:45.960 --> 00:35:50.800
about the person that's reaching trying to
reach the next milestone in their career,

424
00:35:51.159 --> 00:35:54.800
if you can even examine the stressors, maybe they actually have no boundaries at

425
00:35:54.840 --> 00:36:01.159
all, and they're letting people put
any meat on their calendar, they're taking

426
00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:07.519
calls at eight pm. They just
have no structure boundaries. Just putting boundaries

427
00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:10.840
in place can give them that little
bit of breathing room so that they can

428
00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:15.159
still chase the goal to get to
that next promotion, but also take a

429
00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:20.239
break from the computer. You know, not have meetings back to back for

430
00:36:20.280 --> 00:36:23.960
eight hours. And so when I
work with clients that they recognize that they're

431
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:29.639
struggling and they're very stressed out,
they might notice some health issues have started.

432
00:36:30.039 --> 00:36:35.159
We really start with identifying the stress
triggers and then we prioritize them where

433
00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:37.159
can we get the biggest bang for
our buck, And then we put the

434
00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:42.599
boundaries in place, and that can
allow a go getter or an overachiever to

435
00:36:42.719 --> 00:36:47.039
still keep reaching for the stars,
but also protected and have a little bit

436
00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:51.280
of bandwidth for other facets of their
lives. God, I love that.

437
00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:53.440
I wish I'd talk to you sooner
so I could put that into place.

438
00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:58.679
But I think when you talk about
some of the physical stressors, I know

439
00:36:58.800 --> 00:37:00.559
for me, anytime that I I
start to get to that burnout point,

440
00:37:00.639 --> 00:37:07.039
I can feel myself starting. The
anxiety starts to kick in, the insomnia

441
00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:10.639
starts to kick in because I can't
slow my brain down because I'm constantly pushing,

442
00:37:10.679 --> 00:37:16.440
pushing, pushing. Yes, you
know me too, And I would

443
00:37:16.440 --> 00:37:20.760
say ninety percent of my clients are
the same way. Again, this is

444
00:37:20.800 --> 00:37:23.119
just a boundary exercise. I think. One of the best, the best

445
00:37:23.159 --> 00:37:27.679
waves that I just I think I
recently helped someone is you know, just

446
00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:31.480
simply putting time limits on their apps
on their phone. At eight pm.

447
00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:36.280
The phone shut down, no more
checking email, no more doing anything.

448
00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:38.079
They have a post it note right
by the side of their bed, and

449
00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:43.079
if their brain starts to run wild, they can write down anything on that

450
00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:45.480
post it note then they just go
to sleep. Right. It helps.

451
00:37:45.559 --> 00:37:50.920
It helps knowing that like it is
time to shut down. And I think

452
00:37:50.960 --> 00:37:55.320
It's so funny because we criticize the
nine to five for so long because we

453
00:37:55.440 --> 00:38:00.440
wanted flexibility, and now we have
folks working from home with no boundaries around

454
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:06.400
their work hours. And so it's
funny because I'm trying to like help my

455
00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:09.840
clients get back to that boundary of
work hours, you know, like it

456
00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:14.320
can still be flexible, but you
still have to have boundaries, like you've

457
00:38:14.360 --> 00:38:16.559
got to shut it down at some
point. Oh my gosh, I am

458
00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:22.360
so glad we talked this morning.

The Path to Break Free from Burnout
and the host of Life on My Terms

460
00:38:25.679 --> 00:38:30.039
podcast. Amy, You're amazing.
I'm getting this book because I need that

461
00:38:30.159 --> 00:38:35.559
help. Thanks so much for having
me. Absolutely see you later. I'm

462
00:38:35.559 --> 00:38:39.480
telling you you guys there. I
think that's one of the things that I

463
00:38:39.719 --> 00:38:45.280
noticed recently in my life, you
know, after my dad got sick,

464
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:47.000
and after Scott and I split,
it's you know, it's me and the

465
00:38:47.400 --> 00:38:52.119
dogs down here. And I think
that that's one thing why I've been going

466
00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:58.159
home so much, is because I
need that work life balance. Right,

467
00:38:58.280 --> 00:39:01.920
I'm down here. One wake up
call is kicking ass. To be perfectly

468
00:39:01.960 --> 00:39:07.760
honest, I never dreamed I would
get this far in my career. However,

469
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:13.280
I have no boundaries. I work
at home every night. I get,

470
00:39:13.360 --> 00:39:16.599
you know, pretty bad sleep,
to be perfectly honest, But when

471
00:39:16.639 --> 00:39:20.880
I do go home and I see
my parents, and I see my friends

472
00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:24.320
and the people who are special to
me, it does an amazing job of

473
00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:30.360
sort of mending those parts in your
heart where you're thinking, Wow, you

474
00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:32.400
know what, I'm doing really good
in my work life, but my personal

475
00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:37.480
life, I need to prioritize some
things. And I'm telling you sometimes go

476
00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:42.280
into whatever your happy places, or
you know, whatever is kind of your

477
00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:45.519
zen or where you feel like,
this is where I came from, this

478
00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:49.440
is where I belong. It goes
a long way. I'm just saying.

479
00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:52.360
So if you're feeling that burnout,
take that pause, take that step back,

480
00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:57.639
because everything Amy said was totally right. We lead Local live from the
