1
00:00:01.560 --> 00:00:06.400
<v Speaker 1>One of the things about being over fifty, it really

2
00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:14.359
<v Speaker 1>starts to solidify where you spend your time and your energy.

3
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:16.760
<v Speaker 1>You really start to think about who you wanna spend

4
00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:21.480
<v Speaker 1>your time with and how you wanna do it. You

5
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:25.039
<v Speaker 1>decide what you're gonna do with your time. When it

6
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:27.600
<v Speaker 1>comes to your jobs and work, you decide by these

7
00:00:27.679 --> 00:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>job's worth it anymore, Ain't not worth it anymore? Family, friends, yourself.

8
00:00:34.679 --> 00:00:36.560
<v Speaker 1>You really start looking at everything. You look at your

9
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:41.679
<v Speaker 1>time differently. You're looking at people and how they treat you.

10
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:48.719
<v Speaker 1>Also phase a major factor in that I'm going through

11
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:52.399
<v Speaker 1>something right now. I'm going through a growth spurt and

12
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:57.079
<v Speaker 1>it's wonderful my business and it's going it's it's I'm

13
00:00:57.159 --> 00:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>it's one. It's wonderful. It's a g I'm blessed beyond belief.

14
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:07.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to a Brospert. In most areas of my business,

15
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:12.799
<v Speaker 1>I have very I have different divisions, different areas. For example,

16
00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:17.640
<v Speaker 1>I have a music division, I have a book division,

<v Speaker 2>these out.

20
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>I have the podcasts just in general division, and I

21
00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:30.719
<v Speaker 1>think I have separate divisions because I have like the

22
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Star Wars, Marvel stuff, the soap stuff, the hearty stuff,

23

27
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:57.719
<v Speaker 1>to put my energy into. I'm getting older. There are

28
00:01:57.719 --> 00:02:02.439
<v Speaker 1>things aren't just as funny anymore than do So I'm

00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:29.000
<v Speaker 2>Unrest is in General Hospital.

38
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:37.599
<v Speaker 1>James feels like I don't want to become I don't

39
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.439
<v Speaker 1>want to become this complainer. And I feel like in

40
00:02:40.599 --> 00:02:46.800
<v Speaker 1>recent last year or so, I've become a complainer a

41
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:51.400
<v Speaker 1>little bit. I mean I've been I call out stuff,

42
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:54.000
<v Speaker 1>but i feel like I'm just like now I'm just

43
00:02:54.080 --> 00:03:00.280
<v Speaker 1>like talking about the same thing over and over and

44
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:05.479
<v Speaker 1>I hate doing that. So I'm going to stop doing

45
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:09.919
<v Speaker 1>that because it's like I'm just making decisions now so

46
00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:12.120
<v Speaker 1>that it won't be the same thing over again. And

47
00:03:13.319 --> 00:03:16.520
<v Speaker 1>I have a really big decision to make, you guys.

48
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.159
<v Speaker 1>So here's what I'm talking to with you guys. So

49
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:27.439
<v Speaker 1>here's deal. My soap division in terms of downloads and

50
00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:32.639
<v Speaker 1>views does very well, So that's not it's a nice

51
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:34.800
<v Speaker 1>chunk of my business.

52
00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:35.759
<v Speaker 2>It's not all of it.

53
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I've diversified so other chunks are good to you, but

54
00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:45.039
<v Speaker 1>it is a chuck. It's the oldest chunk of my business,

55
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.199
<v Speaker 1>just about because I we been doing one show for

56
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:53.719
<v Speaker 1>nine years. Gh they get great numbers. Gh is the

57
00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:57.639
<v Speaker 1>biggest out of three of gh Y and R and

58
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:03.360
<v Speaker 1>both and Beautiful Jas gets the most. And I can't

59
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:10.240
<v Speaker 1>seem to get guests. I've made contact with the PR

60
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:15.280
<v Speaker 1>person and they barely It's it's just the person seems

61
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:18.279
<v Speaker 1>a nice person, seems nice, always friendly to me, but.

62
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:21.519
<v Speaker 2>She's only got me one guest.

63
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:25.160
<v Speaker 1>He's been there, and I got another guest through Tony Moore.

64
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:29.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm not getting guests and for years I have not

65
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:32.920
<v Speaker 1>had that luxury. It's either the ones that come short

66
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:37.519
<v Speaker 1>of ones I call in favors who are not tied

67
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:40.279
<v Speaker 1>to their PR. That's the world. I can get people

68
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:44.800
<v Speaker 1>with their times a PR soh same with bold and beautiful,

69
00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:47.600
<v Speaker 1>young and restless bold.

70
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:49.600
<v Speaker 2>I know that the PR person there's been.

71
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:51.839
<v Speaker 1>Having some health issues over the last year, so which

72
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:59.319
<v Speaker 1>I can relate to that. So the communication is sporadic.

73
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:01.600
<v Speaker 1>They got me up person a few months ago who

74
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:05.439
<v Speaker 1>was great, but it's been months and I just talked

75
00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:09.120
<v Speaker 1>to him the other day and I'm like, wait, can't

76
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:14.279
<v Speaker 1>make this happen. I need guests also, they I was

77
00:05:14.439 --> 00:05:17.000
<v Speaker 1>promised a walk on roll or a back and roll

78
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:21.959
<v Speaker 1>on the show twice on camera by one of the producers.

79
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:25.720
<v Speaker 1>That has never happened, and I said there day, I'm like,

80
00:05:25.800 --> 00:05:28.000
<v Speaker 1>just wait for my roll. All I get is a

81
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:32.360
<v Speaker 1>heart and I'm like, I have not. I'm like, that'd

82
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:33.959
<v Speaker 1>be a dream. I will sit in.

83
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:36.639
<v Speaker 2>The back ben on a door on a doorway, I

84
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:37.839
<v Speaker 2>don't even care what it is.

85
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:48.560
<v Speaker 1>But also on why nor I love the prey of

86
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:53.079
<v Speaker 1>person there. He's a great guy always. But I'm seeing

87
00:05:55.639 --> 00:06:06.720
<v Speaker 1>what's getting me is other outlets. I gave you all

88
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:11.959
<v Speaker 1>first and for as long as they want them for.

89
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:15.959
<v Speaker 1>I've seen I've watched some of the videos of the

90
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.519
<v Speaker 1>cause I don't. I don't view anybody's competition. We're all different,

91
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:23.040
<v Speaker 1>we all our things. But I'm around a long time

92
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:25.399
<v Speaker 1>and I feel like I don't get the same consideration

93
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.360
<v Speaker 1>as some of the others. And there's some guests that

94
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:36.879
<v Speaker 1>I want. I'm being offered them, two of them, and.

95
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:39.480
<v Speaker 2>So far each one separately. I think so like that.

96
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:42.439
<v Speaker 1>I regard a little town separately, but I've seen someone

97
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:47.800
<v Speaker 1>else that's got them first, and that person has come

98
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:52.079
<v Speaker 1>after me. I just feel like I'm just so so

99
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:57.600
<v Speaker 1>treated down the line, like I'm not serious or something

100
00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:01.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. And I do good interviews and and

101
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:03.600
<v Speaker 1>none of my other shows that are outside of Sobs,

102
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:04.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't.

103
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:05.040
<v Speaker 2>Have that problem.

104
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:08.600
<v Speaker 1>I have people just waiting in line and be on

105
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:13.439
<v Speaker 1>my shows. We have great times and it's good interviews.

106
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:16.639
<v Speaker 1>And I said, I don't want to.

107
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:17.240
<v Speaker 2>I want to.

108
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:20.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm tired of complaining about this, So that's why I'm stopping.

109
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:22.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying it now to you guys. But that's what

110
00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:26.000
<v Speaker 1>has been going on for me. The memories are dead

111
00:07:26.040 --> 00:07:29.480
<v Speaker 1>now for me. I mean, that's clearly, that's just let's

112
00:07:29.519 --> 00:07:34.800
<v Speaker 1>not happy anymore. I'm gonna apply next year and it

113
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:39.079
<v Speaker 1>sours me as an MV judge, I mean voter. I

114
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.759
<v Speaker 1>am really soured by it all and disillusioned. And I

115
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:46.240
<v Speaker 1>have been voting. Last couple of vote rounds. I was like, yeah,

116
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:50.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I'm on the mood. So that's what I

117
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:51.759
<v Speaker 1>was counting on every year. And it's kind of like

118
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:59.240
<v Speaker 1>taking away from me and I don't know, I just don't.

119
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:01.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm out loss on what it is. What else

120
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:06.839
<v Speaker 1>can I do to get these people to give me

121
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:11.360
<v Speaker 1>guests that I used to on a regular basis. I

122
00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:15.199
<v Speaker 1>feel like it's just it's just for you guys out there.

123
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:19.839
<v Speaker 1>I watched the week we recapped the week that was

124
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:23.000
<v Speaker 1>in Born, Charles. You should also have someone who is

125
00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:26.199
<v Speaker 1>part of that week. Let's talk st and find out

126
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.000
<v Speaker 1>how they felt about that scene or seeing do and

127
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:31.079
<v Speaker 1>so and so, or that they had the writing, or

128
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:34.639
<v Speaker 1>that should be happening every week or every other week

129
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:35.440
<v Speaker 1>or every every.

130
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:37.279
<v Speaker 2>Couple of weeks. They should be happening regularly.

131
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:45.120
<v Speaker 1>And I feel like I've worked so hard with I'm

132
00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:46.039
<v Speaker 1>learning people are.

133
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:49.039
<v Speaker 2>Something the younger sense telling me hard works mean anything anymore.

134
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:52.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, very doesn't. It means something to me. Marie doesn't anymore.

135
00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:56.639
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's vere that that that's over and I'm just like,

136
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:01.039
<v Speaker 1>as I get older, have let time for this. That's

137
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:09.919
<v Speaker 1>patience and how No, it's just it's like the same

138

<v Speaker 1>old song and it's the minors, and I.

139
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:16.519

<v Speaker 1>to promote your show in America.

150
00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:57.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't. I've asked over and over. I don't. I'm

151
00:09:57.759 --> 00:09:59.799
<v Speaker 2>trying not to. I'm trying to be polite and not over.

152
00:10:00.440 --> 00:10:00.840
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

153
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:03.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, but there's one guy who's in England. It's

154
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:06.399
<v Speaker 1>gets everybody. I don't know how he's doing it. He's

155
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:10.080
<v Speaker 1>getting He's getting everyone. Yeah, he's good this show. It

156
00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:11.919
<v Speaker 1>shows I forgot his name. I would I would actually

157
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:13.519
<v Speaker 1>would promote him.

158
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:19.679
<v Speaker 2>He's good. I'm like, I don't even understand. I don't

159
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:20.559
<v Speaker 2>even understand.

160
00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:24.039
<v Speaker 1>I feel like in the soap world, I'm still a

161
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:25.080
<v Speaker 1>second class citizen.

162
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:29.159
<v Speaker 2>People know me, but they seem to like me. He

163
00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:30.200
<v Speaker 2>smiles to my face.

164
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:33.639
<v Speaker 1>And then I still don't get treated the same as

165
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:37.559
<v Speaker 1>other people. I feel like it, and there isn't much.

166
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:38.799
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's any much I can do. I

167
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:41.000
<v Speaker 1>think this point, nine ten years in the business, I'll here.

168
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:46.480
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing else I can do. I've showed you get

169
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.759
<v Speaker 1>good numbers. I showed him a great interviewer. I showed

170
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:52.120
<v Speaker 1>you be trusted. I literally do not know.

171
00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:55.200
<v Speaker 2>What else.

172
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.279
<v Speaker 1>So I'm keeping so I don't know. I just I

173
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:06.720
<v Speaker 1>don't know. It just it's it's too much. But I'm

174
00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:09.320
<v Speaker 1>but I'm thinking as a results all cause I'm making

175
00:11:09.399 --> 00:11:12.759
<v Speaker 1>other decisions. And I said, I I want to scare

176
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:15.200
<v Speaker 1>you guys, but I might make some decisions. It might

177
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:19.960
<v Speaker 1>be not exactly everything done, but it might be I

178
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:25.399
<v Speaker 1>might be cutting down or cutting off. I'm just like,

179
00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:28.360
<v Speaker 1>I why am I busting my hump.

180
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:32.080
<v Speaker 2>Every week.

181
00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:40.559
<v Speaker 1>And not getting equal busting my you know back. It

182
00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:44.919
<v Speaker 1>just it really really sucks when you know you've work

183
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:47.279
<v Speaker 1>very hard and you put in the work and you

184
00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:50.200
<v Speaker 1>try to smile and play the game and you do

185
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:53.480
<v Speaker 1>everything they ask you to do and it still doesn't

186
00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:57.480
<v Speaker 1>work out. No one's checking. I mean the soaps, I

187
00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:00.320
<v Speaker 1>don't know. It's it's I I'm I I'm gon talk

188
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:00.679
<v Speaker 1>about now.

189
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:02.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm done talking about it. I did on the show.

190
00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:03.879
<v Speaker 2>It's the last I'm gonna talk about it.

191
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:06.600
<v Speaker 1>The next time I'm gonna bring up the subject is

192
00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:10.080
<v Speaker 1>if I make a huge decision, and I'm announcing the

193
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:13.759
<v Speaker 1>decision because I'm putting this to band now, I'm I'm

194
00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:18.200
<v Speaker 1>going to talk to my divine creator and do some

195
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:21.679
<v Speaker 1>and just and do some number looking and calm down

196
00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:26.320
<v Speaker 1>and just think about this and we'll see. Because being

197
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:29.360
<v Speaker 1>fifty plus, there are things I could have my Sundays back.

198
00:12:30.679 --> 00:12:32.840
<v Speaker 1>I can watch the stumps leisurely if I want you again,

199
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:35.399
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm putting it's a lot of work to

200
00:12:35.399 --> 00:12:39.279
<v Speaker 1>watch fifteen shows a week and then remember them all,

201
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:43.519
<v Speaker 1>organize it. You're your packaged show. I could do it.

202
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:45.159
<v Speaker 1>I love doing it, but it's a lot of work.

203
00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:50.600
<v Speaker 1>So I'm really considering other options. It might be a

204
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:53.080
<v Speaker 1>reduced thing, it might be just do it once a month.

205
00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:57.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't I don't know, So just stay tuned.
