<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media.

2
00:00:10.279 --> 00:00:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your Daly comedy news

3
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:15.919
<v Speaker 2>The La Signs, which has a great conception. By the way,

4
00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:18.359
<v Speaker 2>They caught up with Danny DeVito and Charlie Day. They're

5
00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:21.399
<v Speaker 2>out promoting season seventeen. If It's always sunny in Philadelphia.

6
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Danny DeVito apologized for sounding like he had just come

7
00:00:24.440 --> 00:00:26.079
<v Speaker 2>out of the salt mines. He said, I did a

8
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:29.079
<v Speaker 2>lot of yelling this week. Danny talked about joining the

9
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:30.960
<v Speaker 2>show and said, I knew lots about the show already.

10
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.039
<v Speaker 2>I was going in because I was friends with the

11
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:35.719
<v Speaker 2>president of the network at the time, John Langraf, sent

12
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:37.280
<v Speaker 2>me the first eight shows and I watched it with

13
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:38.920
<v Speaker 2>my family. He was saying he was talking about these

14
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:41.159
<v Speaker 2>really talented guys that he was working with, and John

15
00:00:41.240 --> 00:00:43.200
<v Speaker 2>was building a network over there. I can't remember exactly

16
00:00:43.240 --> 00:00:44.880
<v Speaker 2>where we met, but when we met, it was weird.

17
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:46.200
<v Speaker 2>It was the first thing. Throw me a little bit.

18
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:47.840
<v Speaker 2>Do you remember where it was? Charlie said, yeah, we

19
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:50.799
<v Speaker 2>had a lunch. You meet Robin Glent on Beverly Boulevard.

20
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:52.719
<v Speaker 2>We didn't have an office. We were writing the second season.

21
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:54.600
<v Speaker 2>You'd agreed to the show and you came in, like

22
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:56.960
<v Speaker 2>your character from Get Shorty. You started ordering for all

23
00:00:56.960 --> 00:00:58.640
<v Speaker 2>of us, and you told us some crazy story about

24
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:00.520
<v Speaker 2>your father having a box full of tea and watches,

25
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:02.159
<v Speaker 2>and we're just taking notes. I think we pitched a

26
00:01:02.159 --> 00:01:04.400
<v Speaker 2>couple different character names. I think you shot down a

27
00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:07.200
<v Speaker 2>few of them, but you liked Frank. Charlie Day said Danny,

28
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:09.200
<v Speaker 2>I know that I went and spent maybe a whole

29
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:12.079
<v Speaker 2>week rewatching almost everything he'd ever done. I watched every

30
00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:14.280
<v Speaker 2>episode of Taxi. I watched almost every single movie I

31
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:16.519
<v Speaker 2>could find, just studying a fighter you're going up against,

32
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:18.439
<v Speaker 2>and it was Get Shorty that really kind of locked in

33
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:20.439
<v Speaker 2>for me. A lot of people, what have you do

34
00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:22.239
<v Speaker 2>that Louis de Palma thing over and over again. You're

35
00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:24.439
<v Speaker 2>so great at that. But there was something so idiosyncratic

36
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:27.040
<v Speaker 2>about to Get Shorty character and unpredictable that we were like, oh,

37
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:28.439
<v Speaker 2>if we could tap into that. I think it took

38
00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:29.799
<v Speaker 2>us a couple of seasons to do it, And then

39
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:31.480
<v Speaker 2>it felt like Kissmith that he sort of came in

40
00:01:31.519 --> 00:01:34.599
<v Speaker 2>a meeting like that. Guy. Divido talked about Frank and

41
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.079
<v Speaker 2>Charlie's relationship and said, I like the idea of the

42
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:39.159
<v Speaker 2>scheming and everything that everybody else does, and they do

43
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:40.519
<v Speaker 2>it in a normal way. They want to make money,

44
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:41.879
<v Speaker 2>they want to get ahead, they want to be famous,

45
00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:43.640
<v Speaker 2>they want the bar to succeed. They want this that

46
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.359
<v Speaker 2>Whenever Charlie does something, it titillates Frank. The Times of

47
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:52.439
<v Speaker 2>London spoke with Taylor Tomlinson. Now something driving me nuts here.

48
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:54.480
<v Speaker 2>First of all, I really like Taylor Thomason, but I

49
00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:58.079
<v Speaker 2>just think this copywriting is so lazy. The Taylor Swift

50
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:01.359
<v Speaker 2>of stand up talks about oversharing it. Why is she

51
00:02:01.400 --> 00:02:03.920
<v Speaker 2>the Taylor Swift of stand up? Because their name is Taylor,

52
00:02:04.359 --> 00:02:07.640
<v Speaker 2>because they're both blonde. Taylor Thompson looks more like Taylor

53
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:10.879
<v Speaker 2>Swift than I do by a lot. But is she

54
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:12.680
<v Speaker 2>the Taylor Swift of stand up?

55
00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:13.319
<v Speaker 1>Like?

56
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:15.879
<v Speaker 2>What does that even mean? They're both named Taylor. Okay,

57
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Joe Coy has never made a mean, horrible joke about

58
00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Taylor Thompson as far as I know. Taylor Thompson has

59
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.280
<v Speaker 2>never iced Joe Coy's career by giving him a dirty

60
00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:26.080
<v Speaker 2>stare instead of just laughing at the joke and going

61
00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:30.000
<v Speaker 2>ha ha. Anyway, I digress. The Taylor Swift of comedy said,

62
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:31.919
<v Speaker 2>I've been a full time comedian for ten years, and

63
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:34.520
<v Speaker 2>it's been NonStop. Before that, I was working two jobs

64
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.520
<v Speaker 2>and in college. I think after this tour, I'm going

65
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:38.240
<v Speaker 2>to take some real time off because I've been burning

66
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:40.560
<v Speaker 2>the canile. It both ends for a long time. My

67
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:42.719
<v Speaker 2>career is everything I've ever wanted. There are certain aspects

68
00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:44.719
<v Speaker 2>of my personal life that could certainly use some time

69
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:47.919
<v Speaker 2>and attention. Taylor grew up in a religious family. She

70
00:02:47.960 --> 00:02:50.439
<v Speaker 2>began a question her of faith at age eight after

71
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.199
<v Speaker 2>her mother died from cancer and her father, who she

72
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.800
<v Speaker 2>no longer speaks to, remarried ten months later. Tomlinson said,

73
00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:58.039
<v Speaker 2>I've had to work through a lot of my guilt

74
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:01.000
<v Speaker 2>and shame around sex and leaving the church. When there's

75
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:03.159
<v Speaker 2>a significant part of you that's being repressed because you

76
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:04.960
<v Speaker 2>were raised a certain way by certain people, I don't

77
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:06.960
<v Speaker 2>think it's possible to talk about that without a lot

78
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:10.240
<v Speaker 2>of anger and resentment release. It wasn't for me. Coming

79
00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:12.639
<v Speaker 2>out as bisexual was the final piece. Look, I'm not

80
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.520
<v Speaker 2>an atheist. I'm not ruling anything out or judging anybody's choices,

81
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:18.879
<v Speaker 2>as long as you're not using religion to scare, manipulating, control, people,

82
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:20.879
<v Speaker 2>so it's just been many years of sorting through all that.

83
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:23.759
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes it's funny to make jokes about something you're really

84
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:25.759
<v Speaker 2>angry about, but it also could be detrimental if you

85
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:27.520
<v Speaker 2>try to talk about something too soon. Some of the

86
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:29.879
<v Speaker 2>jokes I've done about my mom dying, I tried when

87
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:31.879
<v Speaker 2>I was twenty and I hadn't been in too much therapy,

88
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:33.599
<v Speaker 2>and I think you can tell when someone's not doing well.

89
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:35.680
<v Speaker 2>It's similar to going on stage and knocking over the mic.

90
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:37.400
<v Speaker 2>It just makes people nervous if they feel like you

91
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:40.080
<v Speaker 2>don't have full control over yourself their jokes I wrote

92
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:41.639
<v Speaker 2>for this tour, then I ended up cutting because I

93
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:42.919
<v Speaker 2>was like, I don't think I'm ready to talk about

94
00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:45.000
<v Speaker 2>that yet. It would feel icky and like I overshared

95
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:46.639
<v Speaker 2>because I was talking about things that aren't resolved for

96
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:48.759
<v Speaker 2>me emotionally and are still very much affecting me in

97
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:52.800
<v Speaker 2>a complicated negative way. Mack Packer Andy Samberg says that

98
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:57.520
<v Speaker 2>Liam Neeson's upcoming Naked Gun reboot is good. That's stunning.

99
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:00.560
<v Speaker 2>I'll trust Andy Samberg, now, let's all be fair. The

100
00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:04.039
<v Speaker 2>Naked Gun is directed by Akiva Shaeffer, who's the frequent

101
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:07.800
<v Speaker 2>collaborator with Andy Samberg, both from The Lonely Island and

102
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:11.919
<v Speaker 2>The Wonderfully Terrific. What is the jose Ca and Seiko

103
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Mark Maguire thing? What's that called? Oh my god? I

104
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.120
<v Speaker 2>love that thing. So either he's stating out with his

105
00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:20.920
<v Speaker 2>friend or you know, Akiva. Schaeffer's got a pretty good

106
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:23.199
<v Speaker 2>track record. When I saw the trailer, when I saw

107
00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:25.839
<v Speaker 2>the original idea, I was like, yeah. But Andy Samberg

108
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:29.040
<v Speaker 2>says The Naked Gun is pure joy, saying that Schaeffer

109
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:32.920
<v Speaker 2>crushed it. Samberg says everyone who's seen the film loves it,

110
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:35.959
<v Speaker 2>and the film is all jokes. Wall A Wall. Everyone

111
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:37.879
<v Speaker 2>I've seen it with walked out saying the same thing,

112
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:39.720
<v Speaker 2>which is like, I didn't realize how much him is

113
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:41.920
<v Speaker 2>that feeling of a pure silly comedy that's all jokes.

114
00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Wat a Wall in a theater, Me and a Kiva

115
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:45.839
<v Speaker 2>are always involved in each other stuff, and I think he

116
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.160
<v Speaker 2>just crushed it. Liam is so funny at it. He's

117
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:50.199
<v Speaker 2>so good. Pam Anderson is so good at it too.

118
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:52.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm really excited for them. I hope everybody goes and

119
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:56.360
<v Speaker 2>sees it because it's super funny album. Hopefully, The Naked

120
00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.600
<v Speaker 2>gun is out. August first caught this one in Vice.

121
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.839
<v Speaker 2>I didn't write this article. I'm just telling you about it.

122
00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:06.839
<v Speaker 2>The headline in Vice is, these guys watch Adam Sandler's Click,

123
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:11.879
<v Speaker 2>the most demoralizing film ever made. Every single week. I'm

124
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.079
<v Speaker 2>telling you I didn't write this. Wece wrote ever have

125
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.079
<v Speaker 2>the misfortune of seeing Adam Sandlor's Click. I put it

126
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:19.600
<v Speaker 2>on to ease a hangover sometimes in two thousand and eight,

127
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:23.360
<v Speaker 2>expecting a brain numbing, heartwarming rump, abiding by the same

128
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:25.720
<v Speaker 2>two word arc that all Adam Sandler films abided by.

129
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:29.120
<v Speaker 2>That point, idiot prospers. In case you're wondering, it goes

130
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.800
<v Speaker 2>a little something like this. Adam Sandler's character finds a

131
00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:34.199
<v Speaker 2>magic TV remote in a warehouse that can fast forward

132
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:36.920
<v Speaker 2>time itself. He rejoices because he can now skip all

133
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:39.519
<v Speaker 2>the boring parts of his life, arguments being ill, eating

134
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:41.600
<v Speaker 2>dinner with his family, and go straight to the good

135
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:44.680
<v Speaker 2>stuff like promotions and pay hikes. But then the magic

136
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:48.680
<v Speaker 2>TV remote learns Sandler's preferences, and it goes rogue, choosing

137
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:51.600
<v Speaker 2>for itself which parts of his life to fast forward. Soon,

138
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Adam Sandler's hurtling towards the grave, powerless to stop the remote.

139
00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:57.680
<v Speaker 2>One minute, his kids are toddlers, the next day have

140
00:05:57.720 --> 00:06:00.560
<v Speaker 2>gray hair, His wife marries their swimming coach. His dogs

141
00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:02.800
<v Speaker 2>keep dying until one attacks, and when he's a pensioner

142
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.000
<v Speaker 2>and the doctor's find out he has cancer. This year

143
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:10.240
<v Speaker 2>I came across the Twitter account click Thinks, ran by

144
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:13.480
<v Speaker 2>two anonymous Australians who've been watching the Adam Sandler movie

145
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:17.120
<v Speaker 2>Click every week since twenty twenty, and will continue to

146
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:19.759
<v Speaker 2>do so for the rest of linear time. One of

147
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:22.240
<v Speaker 2>the anonymous fans said, we started an online movie night

148
00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:24.120
<v Speaker 2>during the pandemic. We didn't think too hard about our

149
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:26.120
<v Speaker 2>first pick. We just landed on Click. Then the next

150
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:28.319
<v Speaker 2>week came around, instead of something new, we just watched

151
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Click again. Five years on, we're still watching Click every

152
00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:33.519
<v Speaker 2>week as if it's the only thing holding reality together.

153
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:35.920
<v Speaker 2>It's like a dare that nobody backed out of. I

154
00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:37.519
<v Speaker 2>like that it feels like a play with a clear

155
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:39.600
<v Speaker 2>two act structure. For the first half, it's the kind

156
00:06:39.600 --> 00:06:41.839
<v Speaker 2>of humor that Sandlor fans would expect. But then as

157
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:44.519
<v Speaker 2>the film transitions into its second act, it pulls the

158
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:46.720
<v Speaker 2>rugout from under you. Suddenly it's no longer about the

159
00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:50.000
<v Speaker 2>comedic possibilities of a TV remote, but about the devastating

160
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:54.040
<v Speaker 2>consequences of prioritizing the wrong things in life. This guy

161
00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:57.639
<v Speaker 2>has over one hundred and fifty physical versions of Click.

162
00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.319
<v Speaker 2>He says his favorite is the Japanese version, which translates

163
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:04.720
<v Speaker 2>to if you could choose yesterday. He's got a Korean

164
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:09.000
<v Speaker 2>VHS tape. He's working on a rare Russian VHS copy.

165
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:13.279
<v Speaker 2>The Click fan said, the film encourages us to reframe

166
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:15.439
<v Speaker 2>how we see our daily lives, not as filler between

167
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:18.600
<v Speaker 2>big events, but as the core of our human experience.

168
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Today is comedy auction. Comedy auction is part stand up show,

169
00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:27.680
<v Speaker 2>part fever, dream yard sale. Audience members bring weird, wonderful,

170
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:31.560
<v Speaker 2>or cursed items from home. Two comedians auction them off.

171
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Greg Berman ish your host. Each item comes with a story,

172
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:38.160
<v Speaker 2>Each bid comes with a punchline. All proceeds go to

173
00:07:38.199 --> 00:07:41.519
<v Speaker 2>a local nonprofit. If you're in Portland, Oregon, it's at

00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:52.160
<v Speaker 2>with YouTube now they've started something called a comedy thing.

<v Speaker 2>So two points Aam's gonna report on this anyway, and

178
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.000
<v Speaker 2>then b when I saw they called it a comedy thing,

179
00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:59.439
<v Speaker 2>I was like, hey, you know, I've been hosting something

180
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:03.160
<v Speaker 2>called The Weekly Comedy Thing for over a decade. Now,

00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:13.040

187
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:21.600
<v Speaker 2>that way, but on the Live one app, I can

188

00:09:36.559 --> 00:09:37.600
<v Speaker 2>And now stick around for this.

211
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:41.120
<v Speaker 3>Interview our sister. I'm going to bring forward and yours

212
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:43.879
<v Speaker 3>and give it to you now. And he said, oh wow,

213
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.320
<v Speaker 3>that's great, thank you, that's so generous of you. Car

214
00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:50.600
<v Speaker 3>that's great. But his wife, my sister in law, went ballistic.

215
00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:54.840
<v Speaker 3>She said, this is too much money, this is wrong.

216
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:57.559
<v Speaker 3>I don't want anything to do with and stormed out.

217
00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:57.879
<v Speaker 1>Of the room.

218
00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.559
<v Speaker 3>And I thought, well, that's not what I expected. Oh

219
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:04.480
<v Speaker 3>my god. So I realized from that that this was

220
00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:07.639
<v Speaker 3>not an easy thing to do. So I learned a

221
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:10.519
<v Speaker 3>lesson from that, and I knew that I had to

222
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:14.279
<v Speaker 3>do this authentically. I had to do it right, otherwise

223
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:16.960
<v Speaker 3>it was not going to work. So that happened. And

224
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:19.559
<v Speaker 3>then the third thing that happened was that I was

225
00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:22.440
<v Speaker 3>looking at my financial statements and I had more money

226
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:25.159
<v Speaker 3>there than I was really using. It was sitting there.

227
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:27.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it was growing, making profits and so forth,

228
00:10:27.759 --> 00:10:30.360
<v Speaker 3>but it wasn't being used. I wasn't using it for me.

229
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:32.799
<v Speaker 3>I wasn't using it for things that I really cared about,

230
00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:34.960
<v Speaker 3>not for my people. So I thought, well, if I

231
00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:37.279
<v Speaker 3>have all this money now, why should I wait until

232
00:10:37.320 --> 00:10:40.480
<v Speaker 3>I die? Why don't I bring it forward? And then

233
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:42.519
<v Speaker 3>it was a long process for me to come around

234
00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:45.039
<v Speaker 3>to that, but that's what finally started this, and I said, well,

235
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:45.799
<v Speaker 3>I'll do it. Now.

236
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:49.279
<v Speaker 1>Let's back up just a bit. Tell us a little

237
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:52.360
<v Speaker 1>bit about your new book. What is the Happiness Experiment.

238
00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:56.919
<v Speaker 3>Well, this is a recording of the real events with

239
00:10:57.159 --> 00:11:01.200
<v Speaker 3>real people who I decided that I would bring forward

240
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:04.120
<v Speaker 3>the inheritance the money I had for them in my

241
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:06.879
<v Speaker 3>will and made it a prequest, so it was a

242
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:09.759
<v Speaker 3>chunk of money that they were going to get. Well

243
00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:11.480
<v Speaker 3>they were still young enough to enjoy it, and I

244
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:14.879
<v Speaker 3>was still alive to see it happening. So I saw

245
00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:18.679
<v Speaker 3>what they were doing. So when I sat down with them,

246
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:22.279
<v Speaker 3>I talked about money and happiness and how one can cognect.

247
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:24.159
<v Speaker 3>And I said, look, I'm going to bring this forward

248
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:26.919
<v Speaker 3>and give it to you, but what I want from

249
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:30.919
<v Speaker 3>you is a plan so you use this money, so

250
00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:32.960
<v Speaker 3>it's really a big benefit for you. I don't want

251
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.799
<v Speaker 3>this to overwhelm you. And they said what kind of plan?

252
00:11:35.840 --> 00:11:37.879
<v Speaker 3>I said, I want a happiness plan, and they said,

253
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:39.279
<v Speaker 3>a happiness plan?

254
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:39.840
<v Speaker 1>What's that?

255
00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:43.440
<v Speaker 3>So you know, nobody has seems to have a happiness plan,

256
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:45.799
<v Speaker 3>but it's one of the most important plans you can get,

257
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:47.480
<v Speaker 3>and it doesn't have to be very complex. What is

258
00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:50.240
<v Speaker 3>it that makes you happy? What values do you want

259
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:52.919
<v Speaker 3>to pursue? You know, what goals and dreams do you have,

260
00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:55.519
<v Speaker 3>and you can pursue them. And so I got them

261
00:11:55.519 --> 00:11:58.080
<v Speaker 3>to write a happiness plan. And then when I saw

262
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:00.279
<v Speaker 3>the plan, I gave them all the money all at

263
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:03.000
<v Speaker 3>one time. And so then they took it and I

264
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.720
<v Speaker 3>watched them with their plan. I saw all their plans,

265
00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:09.279
<v Speaker 3>what they did and how they became happier, and so

266
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:11.639
<v Speaker 3>you know, that had to be written about so because

267
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:14.399
<v Speaker 3>I wanted other people to see what they did so

268
00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:16.440
<v Speaker 3>they too could do the same thing.

269
00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Which prequest is the most unique one you've come across.

270
00:12:21.240 --> 00:12:25.720
<v Speaker 3>Well, it was a very very painful and sad story

271
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:29.840
<v Speaker 3>because two dear friends of mine had a beloved daughter

272
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:32.840
<v Speaker 3>and she was hit head on by a drunk driver

273
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:36.200
<v Speaker 3>and killed. She happened to be eight months pregnant at

274
00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:40.879
<v Speaker 3>the time, so that killed the granddaughter too, and also

275
00:12:41.320 --> 00:12:46.960
<v Speaker 3>their daughter. They were totally totally wiped out, devastated, and

276
00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:50.639
<v Speaker 3>they died emotionally. They had decided that they could never

277
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:53.320
<v Speaker 3>be happy again. They would be wrong to be happy.

278
00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:56.240
<v Speaker 3>They didn't deserve to be happy because their darling daughter

279
00:12:56.279 --> 00:13:02.279
<v Speaker 3>had been killed. Tremendously painful, off awful story. So they

280
00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:05.879
<v Speaker 3>were grieving six years later and I met with them

281
00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:08.720
<v Speaker 3>and I told them how much they had added to

282
00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:12.200
<v Speaker 3>my life and how much I was so grateful to them,

283
00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:14.679
<v Speaker 3>and that I wanted to express the gratitude, and I

284
00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:16.480
<v Speaker 3>put them in my will and they could accept that,

285
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:18.360
<v Speaker 3>and I said, but I want you to have it now,

286
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:20.120
<v Speaker 3>and they said, oh no, no, we can't accept it.

287
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.039
<v Speaker 3>They turned it down. They turned it down. Well, we

288
00:13:24.120 --> 00:13:26.159
<v Speaker 3>worked and I said, look, I'm leaving it open. So

289
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:29.679
<v Speaker 3>several months later, I think his wife persuaded him to

290
00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:32.799
<v Speaker 3>do it. Actually, you know, and you know, so they said, okay,

291
00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:34.120
<v Speaker 3>we'll do it because I say we're going to wait

292
00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:36.120
<v Speaker 3>until you die, why not do it now? And they

293
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:39.080
<v Speaker 3>did it. And it wasn't the money, interesting life, they said,

294
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:42.039
<v Speaker 3>it was the coaching that made the big difference, that

295
00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:47.360
<v Speaker 3>changed their mind their mindset from being so negative. You know,

296
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:50.200
<v Speaker 3>we'll never be happy again. We don't deserve to be happy.

297
00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:54.360
<v Speaker 3>And the coach turned there thinking their mindset around and said, look,

298
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:57.080
<v Speaker 3>you know it can be you can be happy again.

299
00:13:57.120 --> 00:14:00.240
<v Speaker 3>And they started to get the mindset of happy people.

300
00:14:00.360 --> 00:14:02.879
<v Speaker 3>And now you cannot believe what these people they are

301
00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:05.279
<v Speaker 3>traveling all over the world. They're in Tahiti right now.

302
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:10.120
<v Speaker 3>They climbed killamungarratt. These people are loving life. And it

303
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:12.919
<v Speaker 3>was a major change. That is one of the most heartfelt,

304
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:17.120
<v Speaker 3>wonderful results of the And in a sense, she said,

305
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:21.080
<v Speaker 3>the wife said, this prequest changed or saved my life

306
00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:23.919
<v Speaker 3>because we were no longer living, we were dead and

307
00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:25.279
<v Speaker 3>this brought us back to life.

308
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:29.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean dealing with grief and many of us

309
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:32.720
<v Speaker 1>have I have. You know, when you're in those depths,

310
00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:35.320
<v Speaker 1>it's really it could be really difficult to find your

311
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:37.639
<v Speaker 1>way out of it. And you know, often it looks

312
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:39.799
<v Speaker 1>like there isn't a way out of it, and you know,

313
00:14:40.759 --> 00:14:43.200
<v Speaker 1>sometimes you want to map, right, and it looks like

314
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.399
<v Speaker 1>this concept could be a good map for you. If

315
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:49.600
<v Speaker 1>that it sounds like it was for these folks. I

316
00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:52.720
<v Speaker 1>always like to end interviews by asking is there anything

317
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:55.200
<v Speaker 1>that I didn't ask that I should have?

318
00:14:56.799 --> 00:15:02.120
<v Speaker 3>How can my listeners benefit from this book? What should

319
00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:04.960
<v Speaker 3>they do? What would be good for them? And so

320
00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:09.279
<v Speaker 3>I'll answer that question. First off, think about happiness, Think

321
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:12.000
<v Speaker 3>about being happiness. Do you you deserve to be happy?

322
00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:14.720
<v Speaker 3>And you can be happy, but you have to make

323
00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:17.960
<v Speaker 3>it as a choice. I'm going to increase my happiness

324
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.399
<v Speaker 3>just that if you make that realistically, I want to

325
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:25.840
<v Speaker 3>and I'm going to increase my happiness that choice. And

326
00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:28.200
<v Speaker 3>then talk to people about it. Talk to a husband

327
00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:31.200
<v Speaker 3>or wife or a girlfriend or a friend, a therapist

328
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:33.480
<v Speaker 3>or coach, talk to somebody about it and say, look,

329
00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:36.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm made the decision that I want to be happier,

330
00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:38.840
<v Speaker 3>and I'm like you to help me create a happiness

331
00:15:38.879 --> 00:15:42.240
<v Speaker 3>plan and then work on it. And it's not that hard,

332
00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:48.559
<v Speaker 3>but it is challenging, but it's a wonderful exercise. And

333
00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:52.559
<v Speaker 3>if they do it, I guarantee they will increase their happiness.

334
00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:53.679
<v Speaker 3>I guarantee it.
