00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:04.839
<v Speaker 1>Caalarogu shock media.

2
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:12.199
<v Speaker 2>And there Johnny Mack if your daily comedy medis thinks

3
00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:14.480
<v Speaker 2>you're kicking back up after the hollin a and I

4
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:16.719
<v Speaker 2>think that's what the open theme back the way it was.

5
00:00:16.839 --> 00:00:20.199
<v Speaker 2>So things are pretty good here. Mark Ruffalo has criticized

6
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:24.559
<v Speaker 2>Joe Rogan for Joe Rogan's shock over Trump's ice raids.

7
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:27.839
<v Speaker 2>Ruffalo says, it's a little late now. Johnny Mack likes

8
00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:31.280
<v Speaker 2>a comedian controversy. Let's throw some kerosene on this one.

9
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:34.560
<v Speaker 2>On the July second episode of The Joe Rogan Experience,

10
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.079
<v Speaker 2>Joe Rogan said, there are two things that are insane.

11
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:40.000
<v Speaker 2>One is the targeting of migrant workers. Not cartel members,

12
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.799
<v Speaker 2>not gang members, not drug dealers, just construction workers showing

13
00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:46.799
<v Speaker 2>up in construction sites raiding them Gardners like really. Mark

14
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:50.079
<v Speaker 2>Ruffalo went on Threads on July sixth and said, Dear

15
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Joe Rogan, it's a little late now to pretend like

16
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Project twenty twenty five didn't exist and wasn't the playbook

17
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:59.119
<v Speaker 2>all along. You were either not that smarter, not that dumb.

18
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:01.679
<v Speaker 2>It's hard to tell at this point. Rogan had not

19
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:04.719
<v Speaker 2>responded at the time of this recording. John Stewart was

20
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:08.560
<v Speaker 2>back offacation. On Monday Night's Daily Show. He commented on

21
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:12.680
<v Speaker 2>the lawsuit that parent company Paramount settled against President Trump.

22
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:15.599
<v Speaker 2>The bit was John was doing commentary on the lawsuit,

23
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:17.879
<v Speaker 2>then cut off by a graphic that read, please stand by,

24
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:19.640
<v Speaker 2>brought to you by Arby's for when you want a

25
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:23.040
<v Speaker 2>sandwich commensurate with your company's shame. The camera cut back

26
00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:25.719
<v Speaker 2>to John Stewart and he said, that's why it's so wrong.

27
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:28.879
<v Speaker 2>In case you missed it, Paramount Global has agreed to

28
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:32.000
<v Speaker 2>pay sixteen million dollars to settle a lawsuit from Donald Trump,

29
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.079
<v Speaker 2>who sued over the editing over the October interview that

30
00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:41.439
<v Speaker 2>sixty minutes conducted with Kamala Harris. Meanwhile, Hey, Craig Robinson, lame, lame, lame,

31
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:43.239
<v Speaker 2>lame lame. Let me just say that again, in case

32
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:46.319
<v Speaker 2>Craig didn't hear me the first time, Hey, Craig Robinson, lame.

33
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:50.200
<v Speaker 2>Daily Comedy News and many other media outlets reported that

34
00:01:50.280 --> 00:01:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Craig Robinson was retiring from comedy. My spidy sense was

35
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:58.120
<v Speaker 2>tingling a little bit, so it is now believed that

36
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:01.480
<v Speaker 2>the retirement is part of a brand new marketing campaign.

37
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:05.000
<v Speaker 2>For a cell phone company. I'm not going to mention

38
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:09.199
<v Speaker 2>the cell phone company. Craig's original words included retiring from

39
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:13.039
<v Speaker 2>comedy to pursue his true calling. In Los Angeles, there

40
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:16.080
<v Speaker 2>were now billboards in the color scheme of a particular

41
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:19.080
<v Speaker 2>cell phone company that's say Craig Robinson is quitting comedy.

42
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:23.080
<v Speaker 2>People are suspicious, thinking why would Craig take out a

43
00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:28.159
<v Speaker 2>billboard saying that Craig has previously started in commercials for

44
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.400
<v Speaker 2>this particular cell phone company, in which he called himself

45
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:35.520
<v Speaker 2>the company's chief technology officer. A second spot co starred

46
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:39.039
<v Speaker 2>Brian Bombgartner from the Office, and a third featured Robinson

47
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.919
<v Speaker 2>and bomb Gartner with Rain Wilson, Jenni Fisher, Creed Bratton,

48
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:45.479
<v Speaker 2>and Kate Flannery. So, Craig, I hope you liked your attention,

49
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:47.199
<v Speaker 2>and I hope it was worth it, and I hope

50
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.039
<v Speaker 2>the cell phone company pays well because not a good look.

51
00:02:50.719 --> 00:02:54.719
<v Speaker 2>GQ has a nice profile with Roywood Junior, mostly about baseball.

52
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:56.479
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to use some of it on Saturday and

53
00:02:56.599 --> 00:02:59.319
<v Speaker 2>some of it on Monday because it's about baseball and

54
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.199
<v Speaker 2>home runs on Monday's the home Run Derby. But Roy

55
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:04.719
<v Speaker 2>did share that he still takes his baseball gloves to

56
00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:07.000
<v Speaker 2>games and said, I remember I got up set on

57
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:08.520
<v Speaker 2>a date one time when I lived in LA I'd

58
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:10.319
<v Speaker 2>go to spring training every year for a weekend and

59
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:12.400
<v Speaker 2>just ingest as much baseball as I could. A woman

60
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:13.639
<v Speaker 2>I was dating at the time talk to me and

61
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:15.520
<v Speaker 2>to let him come with me. Then she's like, this

62
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.360
<v Speaker 2>is embarrassing. You're a child, and I was like, you

63
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:20.719
<v Speaker 2>know what, Yeah, I am. Anthony Anderson is guest hosting

64
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:23.919
<v Speaker 2>Jimmy Kimmel Live. They were doing some man on the

65
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Street stuff, the question what's the whitest thing about you?

66
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.159
<v Speaker 2>Anderson explained the segment was directed at quote black folks

67
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:34.039
<v Speaker 2>on Hollywood Boulevard, tagging the joke with to do the

68
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:36.719
<v Speaker 2>opposite would have been racist. One man confessed to a

69
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:40.199
<v Speaker 2>love of pumpkin spice. According to Late Nighter, another woman

70
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:42.680
<v Speaker 2>said she's a vegan, and then who showed up on

71
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:46.319
<v Speaker 2>camera Chris Rock. He joked the whitest thing about me?

72
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:48.479
<v Speaker 2>And I have to keep this clean here. I'm gonna

73
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:49.919
<v Speaker 2>read it as Late Night or has it because I

74
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:52.280
<v Speaker 2>don't want to get dirty user imagination. Chris Rock said

75
00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:54.240
<v Speaker 2>the whitest thing about me. That would have to be

76
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:58.840
<v Speaker 2>my bleep. I try about once a month to thank

77
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:01.000
<v Speaker 2>all the members in support orders of the show, the

78
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.439
<v Speaker 2>folks who have gone to buy me Acoffee dot Com,

79
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.759
<v Speaker 2>a slash daily comedy news, the National donut chain. Right now,

80
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:08.879
<v Speaker 2>they have a new flavor, a cookie dough that I'm

81
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.159
<v Speaker 2>kind of into with my coffee. They got rid of

82
00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:14.039
<v Speaker 2>the orange donut. The orange donut was like the most

83
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:17.040
<v Speaker 2>amazing donut. They do this every now and then. I mean,

84
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:19.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm going back twenty years. There was a lemon glazed

85
00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:21.839
<v Speaker 2>that showed up around Easter one year and it was

86
00:04:21.839 --> 00:04:24.480
<v Speaker 2>the all time best donuts chained donut. And it never

87
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:27.000
<v Speaker 2>came back. I'm still waiting for it. Anytime I'm in

88
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:29.519
<v Speaker 2>the South and they have those maple frosteds. You can't

89
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:31.800
<v Speaker 2>get those in New Jersey. I love them good maple frosted.

90
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:34.199
<v Speaker 2>But in June they had an orange donut. Oh it

91
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:36.920
<v Speaker 2>was so good. And listen to me, I've lived in

92
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:39.399
<v Speaker 2>New Jersey for twenty years now. I just said orange

93
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:42.120
<v Speaker 2>instead of orange. My kids make fun of me when

94
00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:45.000
<v Speaker 2>I talk about Queen's neighborhoods like Forest Hills and they're

95
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.319
<v Speaker 2>like forest Forest, but I just said orange, I heard myself. Ugh,

96
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:50.480
<v Speaker 2>punch yourself in the face, Jonny mackew losing your New

97

111
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:34.720
<v Speaker 2>to record a bunch of those right after this. Did

112
00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:36.680
<v Speaker 2>you see this about the movie Rush Hour? Remember the

113
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:39.600
<v Speaker 2>nineteen ninety eight movie stars Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker.

114
00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:40.279
<v Speaker 3>Well.

115
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:45.279
<v Speaker 2>Now Prime Video has a disclaimer Before the credits, it reads,

116
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:47.560
<v Speaker 2>we all love our buddy comedies, but this movie was

117
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:51.199
<v Speaker 2>created in a different time. FYI, certain depictions, language and

118
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:55.040
<v Speaker 2>humor may seem outdated and at times offensive. They've added

119
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:59.439
<v Speaker 2>similar messages to Goodfellas, Blazing Saddles, and Gone with the Wind?

120
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:02.199
<v Speaker 2>All right, what's the problem with Russia Hour, Johnny Mack,

121
00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:04.399
<v Speaker 2>I haven't seen it in a while. Well, luckily there's

122
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:07.879
<v Speaker 2>a summary here. Apparently there are multiple jokes built on

123
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:11.519
<v Speaker 2>confusing Chinese and Japanese culture. There's a running gag about

124
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.319
<v Speaker 2>Latino gang members accents. In two thousand and two, so

125
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:17.560
<v Speaker 2>that's twenty three years ago. Jackie Chance said, I make

126
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:19.720
<v Speaker 2>the movie, and a Telmet manager see, I should never

127
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:21.240
<v Speaker 2>make this kind of movie. Then I go to Asia

128
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:23.040
<v Speaker 2>and make Asian films and they call me and they say,

129
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:25.000
<v Speaker 2>and I'm going to paraphrase his language here, or it's

130
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.600
<v Speaker 2>gonna sound like I'm doing a stereotype. Jackie said along

131
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:29.639
<v Speaker 2>the lines of, hey, Jackie, it's a big hit. It's

132
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.319
<v Speaker 2>a success. And I say what And then I go

133
00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:33.160
<v Speaker 2>make Rush Hour two and I hate it. It's worse

134
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:34.800
<v Speaker 2>than Rush Hour one. They call me and they say

135
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:38.800
<v Speaker 2>it's a success and Craig Robinson probably would like this one.

136
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:42.600
<v Speaker 2>My Spidey sense is tingling about this. Comedian Ross Noble

137
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:48.319
<v Speaker 2>is appearing on ITV's reality series Shark Celebrity Infested Waters.

138
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.759
<v Speaker 2>All right, it's Shark Celebrity Infested Waters. Ross Nobles on

139
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:52.759
<v Speaker 2>it and what do you know?

140
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:54.079
<v Speaker 3>A shark bit him?

141
00:06:54.519 --> 00:06:54.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

142
00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:55.480
<v Speaker 3>Did it?

143
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.639
<v Speaker 2>Or is this press? Let's find out? Ross Noble said,

144
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:01.360
<v Speaker 2>imagine at David Attenborough dot coumentary. Right, but Attenborough's got

145
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:03.120
<v Speaker 2>an idiot mate who just jumped in with the animals,

146
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:04.199
<v Speaker 2>so we can see how big they are, and you

147
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:07.120
<v Speaker 2>learn something about these big creatures along the way. Depending

148
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:09.360
<v Speaker 2>on what cock caught on the camera, you could see

149
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:11.360
<v Speaker 2>me get nibbled by a shark. I think a lot

150
00:07:11.360 --> 00:07:13.920
<v Speaker 2>of people would instantly think, oh, shark's change your big teeth.

151
00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:16.120
<v Speaker 2>I've never really had that fear. I watch a lot

152
00:07:16.120 --> 00:07:18.199
<v Speaker 2>of television, so I see a lot of shark documentaries.

153
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:20.439
<v Speaker 2>The big thing I realized is it's not jaws. Sharks

154
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:22.360
<v Speaker 2>don't attack people. The only way a shark has got

155
00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:24.240
<v Speaker 2>to find out what another thing is is to have

156
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:26.360
<v Speaker 2>a little nibble of it. I always knew that when

157
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:29.519
<v Speaker 2>they attack surfers. It's because they think they're seals. So

158
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:34.040
<v Speaker 2>that's the story behind comedian bitten by Shark. Hey ITV,

159
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:36.399
<v Speaker 2>you got me to talk about it, Shark celebrity infested

160
00:07:36.439 --> 00:07:39.959
<v Speaker 2>waters mondays at nine. That's your comedy news for today,

161
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:44.439
<v Speaker 2>see tomorrow. I'll stick around for this interview our sister.

162
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:46.839
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to bring forward and yours and give it

163
00:07:46.879 --> 00:07:49.920
<v Speaker 2>to you now. And he said, oh wow, that's great,

164
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:52.199
<v Speaker 2>thank you. That's so generous of you, Carl, that's great.

165
00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:57.079
<v Speaker 2>But his wife, my sister in law, went ballistic. She said,

166
00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:01.079
<v Speaker 2>this is too much money, this is wrong. I don't

167
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.160
<v Speaker 2>want anything to do with and stormed out of the room.

168
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:06.360
<v Speaker 2>And I thought, well, that's not what I expected.

169
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:09.439
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god. So I realized from that that this

170
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:12.839
<v Speaker 1>was not an easy thing to do. So I learned

171
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:15.680
<v Speaker 1>a lesson from that, and I knew that I had

172
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.519
<v Speaker 1>to do this authentically. I had to do it right,

173
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:22.160
<v Speaker 1>otherwise it was not going to work. So that happened.

174
00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:24.680
<v Speaker 1>And then the third thing that happened was that I

175
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:27.360
<v Speaker 1>was looking at my financial statements and I had more

176
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.439
<v Speaker 1>money there than I was really using. It was sitting there,

177
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it was growing, making profits and so forth,

178
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:35.639
<v Speaker 1>but it wasn't being used. I wasn't using it for me.

179
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:38.080
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't using it for things that I really cared about,

180
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:40.240
<v Speaker 1>not for my people. So I thought, well, if I

181
00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:42.559
<v Speaker 1>have all this money, now, why should I wait until

182
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:45.759
<v Speaker 1>I die? Why don't I bring it forward? And then

183
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:47.799
<v Speaker 1>it was a long process for me to come around

184
00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:50.200
<v Speaker 1>to that, but that's what finally started this, and I said,

185
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:50.840
<v Speaker 1>well I'll do it.

186
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.320
<v Speaker 3>Now. Let's back up just a bit. Tell us a

187
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:57.679
<v Speaker 3>little bit about your new book. What is the Happiness Experiment.

188
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, this is a record of the real events with

189
00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:06.519
<v Speaker 1>real people who I decided that I would bring forward

190
00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:09.440
<v Speaker 1>the inheritance the money I had for them in my

191
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:12.159
<v Speaker 1>will and made it a prequest. So it was a

192
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:15.039
<v Speaker 1>chunk of money that they were going to get. Well,

193
00:09:15.080 --> 00:09:16.799
<v Speaker 1>they were still young enough to enjoy it, and I

194
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:20.159
<v Speaker 1>was still alive to see it happening. So I saw

195
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:24.039
<v Speaker 1>what they were doing. So when I sat down with them,

196
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:27.559
<v Speaker 1>I talked about money and happiness and how one can cognect,

197
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:29.440
<v Speaker 1>and I said, look, I'm going to bring this forward

198
00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:32.200
<v Speaker 1>to give it to you, but what I want from

199
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:35.879
<v Speaker 1>you is a plan so that you use this money.

200
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:38.080
<v Speaker 1>So it's really a big benefit for you. I don't

201
00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:40.840
<v Speaker 1>want this to overwhelm you. And they said what kind

202
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:42.759
<v Speaker 1>of plan? I said, I want a happiness plan, and

203
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:44.559
<v Speaker 1>they said, a happiness plan?

204
00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:45.120
<v Speaker 2>What's that?

205
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:48.759
<v Speaker 1>So you know, nobody has seems to have a happiness plan,

206
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:51.120
<v Speaker 1>but it's one of the most important plans you can get,

207
00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:52.799
<v Speaker 1>and it doesn't have to be very complex. What is

208
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:55.519
<v Speaker 1>it that makes you happy? What values do you want

209
00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:58.200
<v Speaker 1>to pursue? You know, what goals and dreams do you have,

210
00:09:58.440 --> 00:10:00.840
<v Speaker 1>and you can pursue them. So I got them to

211
00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:03.759
<v Speaker 1>write a happiness plan. And then when I saw the plan,

212
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:06.039
<v Speaker 1>I gave them all the money all at one time,

213
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:08.960
<v Speaker 1>and so then they took it and I watched them

214
00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:12.080
<v Speaker 1>with their plan. I saw all their plans, what they did,

215
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:15.440
<v Speaker 1>and how they became happier, and so you know, that

216
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:17.559
<v Speaker 1>had to be written about so because I wanted other

217
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:20.360
<v Speaker 1>people to see what they did so that they too

218
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:21.759
<v Speaker 1>could do the same thing.

219
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:26.080
<v Speaker 3>Which prequest is the most unique one you've come across.

220
00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, it was a very very painful and sad story

221
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.120
<v Speaker 1>because two dear friends of mine had a beloved daughter

222
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:38.159
<v Speaker 1>and she was hit head on by a drunk driver

223
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:41.519
<v Speaker 1>and killed. She happened to be eight months pregnant at

224
00:10:41.519 --> 00:10:46.159
<v Speaker 1>the time, so that killed the granddaughter too, and also

225
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:52.240
<v Speaker 1>their daughter. They were totally totally wiped out, devastated, and

226
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:55.960
<v Speaker 1>they died emotionally. They had decided that they could never

227
00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:58.600
<v Speaker 1>be happy again. They would be wrong to be happy.

228
00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.159
<v Speaker 1>They didn't deserve to be high happy because their darling

229
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:06.960
<v Speaker 1>daughter had been killed. Tremendously painful, awful, awful story. So

230
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:10.559
<v Speaker 1>they were grieving six years later and I met with

231
00:11:10.679 --> 00:11:13.840
<v Speaker 1>them and I told them how much they had added

232
00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:17.200
<v Speaker 1>to my life and how much I was so grateful

233
00:11:17.200 --> 00:11:19.399
<v Speaker 1>to them, and that I wanted to express the gratitude

234
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:21.279
<v Speaker 1>and I put them in my will and they could

235
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:23.159
<v Speaker 1>accept that. And I said, but I want you to

236
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:24.639
<v Speaker 1>have it now, and they said, oh no, no, we

237
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.600
<v Speaker 1>can't accept it. They turned it down. They turned it down. Well,

238
00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:31.159
<v Speaker 1>we worked, and I said, look, I'm leaving it open.

239
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:34.879
<v Speaker 1>So several months later, I think his wife persuaded him

240
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:37.320
<v Speaker 1>to do it, actually, you know, and you know, so

241
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:39.080
<v Speaker 1>they said, okay, we'll do it, because I say we're

242
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.120
<v Speaker 1>going to wait until you die, why not do it now?

243
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.840
<v Speaker 1>And they did it. And it wasn't the money interesting now,

244
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:47.159
<v Speaker 1>they said, it was the coaching that made the big difference,

245
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:51.960
<v Speaker 1>that changed their mind their mindset from being so negative.

246
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:54.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, we'll never be happy again. We don't deserve

247
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:57.600
<v Speaker 1>to be happy. And the coach turned there thinking their

248
00:11:57.639 --> 00:12:01.159
<v Speaker 1>mindset around and said, look, you know it can be

249
00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:03.399
<v Speaker 1>you can be happy again. And they started to get

250
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:07.120
<v Speaker 1>the mindset of happy people. And now you cannot believe

251
00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:09.279
<v Speaker 1>what these people they are traveling all over the world.

252
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:12.639
<v Speaker 1>They are in Tahiti right now, they climbed Killamungarrett. These

253
00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:16.399
<v Speaker 1>people are loving life. And it was a major change.

254
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:20.759
<v Speaker 1>That is one of the most heartfelt, wonderful results of

255
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:23.679
<v Speaker 1>the And in a sense, she said, the wife said,

256
00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:27.159
<v Speaker 1>this prequest changed or saved my life because we were

257
00:12:27.200 --> 00:12:29.799
<v Speaker 1>no longer living, we were dead, and this brought us

258
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:30.600
<v Speaker 1>back to life.

259
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:34.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean dealing with grief and many of us

260
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:38.039
<v Speaker 3>have I have. You know, when you're in those depths,

261
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:40.600
<v Speaker 3>it's really it can be really difficult to find your

262
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:42.960
<v Speaker 3>way out of it. And you know, often it looks

263
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:45.080
<v Speaker 3>like there isn't a way out of it, and you know,

264
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:48.480
<v Speaker 3>sometimes you want to map right and it looks like

265
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:51.679
<v Speaker 3>this concept could be a good map for you. If

266
00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:54.879
<v Speaker 3>that it sounds like it was for these folks. I

267
00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:58.000
<v Speaker 3>always like to end interviews by asking is there anything

268
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:00.480
<v Speaker 3>that I didn't ask that I should have?

269
00:13:02.120 --> 00:13:07.440
<v Speaker 1>How can my listeners benefit from this book? What should

270
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:10.240
<v Speaker 1>they do? What would be good for them? And so

271
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:14.559
<v Speaker 1>I'll answer that question. First off, think about happiness, Think

272
00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:17.519
<v Speaker 1>about being happiness. Do you deserve to be happy? And

273
00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:20.200
<v Speaker 1>you can be happy, but you have to make it

274
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:24.080
<v Speaker 1>as a choice. I'm going to increase my happiness just

275
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:27.799
<v Speaker 1>that if you make that Realistically, I want to and

276
00:13:27.879 --> 00:13:31.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to increase my happiness that choice. And then

277
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:33.919
<v Speaker 1>talk to people about it. Talk to a husband or wife,

278
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:36.960
<v Speaker 1>or a girlfriend or a friend, a therapist or coach,

279
00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:39.799
<v Speaker 1>talk to somebody about it and say, look, I'm made

280
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:42.000
<v Speaker 1>the decision that I want to be happier, and I'm

281
00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:45.279
<v Speaker 1>like you to help me create a happiness plan and

282
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:48.919
<v Speaker 1>then work on it. And it's not that hard, but

283
00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:54.080
<v Speaker 1>it is challenging, but it's a wonderful exercise. And if

284
00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:57.840
<v Speaker 1>they do it, I guarantee they will increase their happiness.

285
00:13:58.240 --> 00:13:58.960
<v Speaker 1>I guarantee it.

286
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:03.279
<v Speaker 3>Carl Barney is the author and the book is called

287
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:08.200
