WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:04.440 You're listening to Bill Handle on demand from KFI AM 2 00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:09.759 six forty. KFI AM six forty heard everywhere on the 3 00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:13.199 iHeartRadio app. Hey everybody, Neil Svader in the morning Crew. 4 00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:19.519 Gang we're a gang now? Yeah? Oh a little too 5 00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:20.519 close to home? Kno. 6 00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:23.640 Yeah, I was told not to do that. Okay, okay, 7 00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:24.600 stay away from them. 8 00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:26.519 What do you what are you doing with your hands? 9 00:00:26.839 --> 00:00:34.200 What's working? Is that? An an and M? Wow? I've 10 00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:37.159 never seen gang signs on this show before. It's odd, 11 00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:41.399 odd Happy to be with you on this Memorial Day. 12 00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:42.920 What's an an and M? 13 00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:47.159 It's the frequency in which we are broadcasting. It deals 14 00:00:47.159 --> 00:00:53.079 with the IONI sphere. It's amplitude modulation AM radio. Okay, 15 00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:59.280 come on, Amy, I expect that out of Kno. Not you, 16 00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:05.439 a wise educated person, you know. Speaking of wise and educated, 17 00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:10.040 I'm a fan of AI now as an artist and 18 00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:13.840 somebody grew up as a designer and from family of 19 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:18.200 artists and the like. I'm not thrilled obviously that it's 20 00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:25.599 taking people's stuff and they're hard work and recreating it. 21 00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:31.840 But I philosophically find that we all kind of steal 22 00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:35.000 from each other anyways, so it's kind of this weird 23 00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:40.000 new step. But I came kicking and screaming into computers too. 24 00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:45.159 So I was an artist in the eighties and nineties, 25 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:48.920 so I was like, man, this is a glorified typesetter. 26 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.239 I do everything by hand. I cut lettering by hand, 27 00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:54.200 I did all kinds of stuff. And then it was like, 28 00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:57.319 now you're doing this stuff. So I have grown to 29 00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:00.719 love tech and how it plays a part and creating 30 00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.280 art or creating things and giving us information. But I'm 31 00:02:04.319 --> 00:02:09.000 also humored by the fact that it's it's not there yet, 32 00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:13.280 I mean leaps and bounds it's making I mean every 33 00:02:13.400 --> 00:02:16.120 day new stuff, and we're only seeing the you know, 34 00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:19.759 the front face of it. There's so much more that 35 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:23.039 we're not using yet on our end that they know about. 36 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:27.680 They the designers and creators of all this tech. But 37 00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:31.280 someone ran you can buy the you know, teachers use 38 00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:34.960 these sometimes too. There's AI detectors, and you could put 39 00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:38.000 in text, like if a kid writes text. You could 40 00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:41.560 put your student's whole essay or whatever in here, and 41 00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:43.479 it will tell you at what percentage it thinks it 42 00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:49.039 was AI written. Somebody put in the Declaration of Independence 43 00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:52.919 and the AI detector says it was ninety nine point 44 00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.719 nine percent sure that it was written by That's fine. 45 00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:02.639 So it's it's not there yet, it will be there. 46 00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:05.599 It's getting you know, it's smart, but that is to 47 00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:11.319 lead you into this little beauty. You're so vain. So 48 00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:17.120 AI like legal help. It's giving people medical help, it's 49 00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:19.520 giving people all kinds of great things. And some wing 50 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:22.280 that says, you know what I'm gonna do. I'm going 51 00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:26.560 to put in a photo of myself and ask AI 52 00:03:26.759 --> 00:03:31.680 if I'm hot or not. So that's the thing. And 53 00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:41.360 apparently open AI's chat GPT is brutal about whether you're like. 54 00:03:41.439 --> 00:03:44.639 It's not even like C three po, you know, trying 55 00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:49.560 to be diplomatic or anything. It's apparently brutal because if 56 00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:53.840 you're asking that, it's going to go through millions of 57 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:58.840 photographs and what is being said about those people, those photographs, 58 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:02.039 and it's going to process that, and you're gonna line 59 00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:06.199 yourself up against all those people. And all I keep 60 00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:10.199 thinking about is why do I want to see Kno's heartbroken? 61 00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:12.800 I mean, why would I want to see a grown 62 00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:19.120 man well in quotes cry after he does this? 63 00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:22.560 So I thought I would say that I am you're 64 00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:23.879 what super attractive? 65 00:04:24.600 --> 00:04:31.240 Really unbelievably Wait, hold on a second. All right, your 66 00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:35.240 wife's initials AI. No, okay, so you're talking about it. 67 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:37.959 Actually a picture of you and me if you went 68 00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:41.560 around Los Angeles. Oh, and it was like, oh my. 69 00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:44.360 God, listen, I look like a testicle. I get it, 70 00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:48.759 but I'm not. But I'm not delusional. I'm not the 71 00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:54.319 one arguing you. I'm not. I never said I wasn't. 72 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:59.360 I'm very not, super intelligent, hilarious. Yes, these things come 73 00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:01.759 out of my mouth. I never say I'm handsome. I 74 00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:04.199 did not serious. I say I'm handsome. Yeah, and that 75 00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:07.160 concerns me because I am handsome. And you know what, 76 00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:09.920 the two women very attractive that are in the building 77 00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:13.839 right now, they are laughing. No, they're not. They're laughing 78 00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:18.160 at you. Amy did a spit take? Amy Never, she's 79 00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:25.360 a newsperson. She doesn't do spit takes. Bro. So you 80 00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:28.399 know what, lost casts not helping anymore. 81 00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:30.439 I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna upload my picture to 82 00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:33.160 go ahead to do it right now? How attractive am I? 83 00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:35.639 And I bet you leave your stakeout to become room 84 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:37.079 temperature after four hours? 85 00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:38.120 Is it? 86 00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:42.839 If you feel temperature, So that's important. 87 00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.480 So it's called tempering the beef because you want the 88 00:05:45.560 --> 00:05:47.360 inside to get beautifully pink. 89 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:49.519 You don't want to be gray on the outside. 90 00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:50.439 Is he hitting on me? 91 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:51.279 Is that? 92 00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:55.000 I don't know that accidents not real? Right? Like he 93 00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:57.959 gets off the air with Amy and Curtis Stone, the 94 00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:04.160 chef goes, crap, that was garbage. All right, I gotta go. 95 00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:07.399 I think it's authentic. 96 00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:09.319 He's Australian, So is he? 97 00:06:09.920 --> 00:06:13.000 Yeah? That's my that's my Bill Burr impression. 98 00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:13.480 Is he. 99 00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:15.399 Really? 100 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:16.000 Is he? 101 00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:18.240 Okay? 102 00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:18.879 So? 103 00:06:19.240 --> 00:06:23.240 Uh, you can now go to chat GPT and say 104 00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:28.439 am I hot or not? Would you care if if 105 00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:30.040 AI told you you weren't attractive? 106 00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:33.639 I don't know. Do you care when AI tells you 107 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:34.439 you're not attractive? 108 00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:37.519 No? It hurts me when my mom and my wife 109 00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:38.040 say it. 110 00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:40.040 But I would never ask. 111 00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:43.199 You don't think you're attractive? 112 00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:43.639 No? 113 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:44.639 I just wouldn't ask. 114 00:06:44.759 --> 00:06:48.639 Why do I want to hear me up against everybody? 115 00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:51.959 Because it is it? 116 00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:54.480 Is it a relative thing? 117 00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:54.920 Like? 118 00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:56.000 Is it a comparison? 119 00:06:56.079 --> 00:06:59.000 Like you know how Facebook was supposed to have started 120 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:02.120 to kind of gauge the hotness of girls. 121 00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:03.319 Oh, you're right, I forgot that. 122 00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:07.800 Yeah, So is it compared to what or is it 123 00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:09.240 just a general statement. 124 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:15.240 Well, there's mathematics, there's mathematic or beauty, which is the 125 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:18.000 law of thirds breaking down the face into thirds, and 126 00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:23.319 how we see things and symmetry, if they say evolutionarily, 127 00:07:23.959 --> 00:07:26.199 is that we're looking for symmetry because that means they're 128 00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:30.560 healthy and they're going to breed good babies. So that's 129 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.959 where the thought, the belief is beauty comes from. Is 130 00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:37.360 this symmetry that we look for. So like that, like kno, 131 00:07:37.480 --> 00:07:39.279 the left eye that's a little what do they call 132 00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:43.120 that lazy eye that when you come across something like that, 133 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:45.399 that would be I don't mind it. It doesn't bother me, 134 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:51.639 but it might turn off some like a woman that's 135 00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:54.879 looking for a mate to make you know, good children. 136 00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:57.000 No women turned. 137 00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:58.519 Off really. 138 00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:06.160 One or two over the years, all right, But. 139 00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:07.319 Then also not into guys. 140 00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:12.839 Oh boy, you're that guy. Goodness, oh boy, you just 141 00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:15.680 told me a lot about it. Must be a lesbian 142 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:19.800 and my right brod buppy. Oh my god, I'm stopping 143 00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:21.480 this because I care about you and I don't want 144 00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:24.800 you to dig this hole any deeper. Oh my god, 145 00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:27.720 do you even lift Bro. You know, one of the 146 00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.040 things that I've been doing over the past couple of 147 00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:35.080 years is resetting my think. I have been at KFI 148 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:41.039 for thirty years and change, and I have done just 149 00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:44.440 about everything here and was in management was what one 150 00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:47.639 of my last big gigs, and I left that almost 151 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:49.720 a year and a half ago or something like that, 152 00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:55.000 and it changed my life because I was refocusing being 153 00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:57.759 on the morning show with the Gang here and Bill, 154 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.840 and then doing the Four on Saturday and producing the 155 00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:05.399 Jesus Show on Sunday, and just changing things because my 156 00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:10.000 boys eight now and my wife has her own practice, 157 00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:12.360 and you know, so much going on that I wanted 158 00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:14.759 to be around as much as possible and it's been 159 00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:17.960 really nice. But one of the things that I have 160 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:23.320 focused on is understanding time management because I get off 161 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:27.000 the air at nine am, like the good folks around me, 162 00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:32.759 but unlike them, I don't have to go straight into 163 00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:36.960 more work, so all of them. An leaves here, goes 164 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:40.279 to her desk and starts producing for the next day. 165 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:43.600 Amy does the same, producing for working with Ann for 166 00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.360 her show, and Cono does the same thing, whether it's 167 00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:50.039 putting up podcasts things like that. Whereas unless I have 168 00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:52.960 a meeting with sales or something dealing with one of 169 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:57.960 the shows that the day is mine. And it is 170 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:00.399 very easy to get into place where you think I'm 171 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:02.120 just going to rest or I'm going to do this. 172 00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:05.840 You know, we tell ourselves you deserve to rest well. 173 00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:08.759 Experts are coming together on the concept of happiness and 174 00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:12.679 how to use your time and what builds weekdays, not 175 00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:17.879 just weekends, but weekdays is more fulfilling. I think we 176 00:10:17.919 --> 00:10:20.159 all do this thing where we push ourselves and rush 177 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:23.919 towards the weekend. But what you're doing is you're pushing 178 00:10:24.200 --> 00:10:31.519 five days out of your seven day week to the side, 179 00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:35.279 and that you're growing older and older every single day, 180 00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:38.559 and you're pushing five out of seven days to get 181 00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:44.039 to those two days. And I've been beating myself up 182 00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:48.840 to rethink that and to not give those days up. 183 00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:52.120 And when I came across this story of what experts 184 00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.600 on happiness want us to know about making your weekdays 185 00:10:56.639 --> 00:10:59.879 more fulfilling, it really struck a chord with me. And 186 00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:04.200 that is structuring your weekdays to be productive, not plopping 187 00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:10.279 down on the couch, and to find tasks that you 188 00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:14.879 want done, and in doing that, getting those things done 189 00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:18.879 and out of your way. Your weekdays become more productive 190 00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:24.840 and you counterintuitively, it's more RESTful. And I've been finding 191 00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:27.919 that my brain works better, and I'm wondering if it 192 00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:30.679 would do the same for you. And everything I read 193 00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.559 in this story, I started checking off, and I'm saying, Wow, 194 00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:37.960 that's that's true. When I find meaning in the day 195 00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:41.279 and there are tasks and I split them up, like 196 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:47.360 I've always thought that it charity is to break it 197 00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:54.000 up into three parts. Local, you know, neighborhood charity, a 198 00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:59.440 national charity, and a global charity. You give a little 199 00:11:59.440 --> 00:12:02.679 bit tea each and so you're covering all those those 200 00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:07.120 those places. And so now I'm looking at things like 201 00:12:07.159 --> 00:12:10.799 breaking it down. What's on the fix it list? Because 202 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:14.200 those hover the most right. You have a list of 203 00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:16.279 things that need to be done. And it could be 204 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:18.720 grocery shopping, but you know what I mean, fix it. 205 00:12:18.720 --> 00:12:21.639 It's like empty fridge. You got to fix it. You 206 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:25.399 broken fridge. You might have to fix it something, order 207 00:12:25.440 --> 00:12:29.840 filters for the house or for the air conditioning or 208 00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:32.039 for whatever. There's these things and they build up and 209 00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:34.519 they take us down. And I will tell you that 210 00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:38.799 my days have been more fulfilling as I shifted them 211 00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:44.440 towards having things that need to be done. And some days, 212 00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:47.039 I will tell you, and the people I'm surrounded with 213 00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:49.840 on the morning show, they all wake up way earlier 214 00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:54.120 than I do and way earlier than built us, and 215 00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:57.039 they start their days at to me, it's not even 216 00:12:57.039 --> 00:12:59.799 starting the day. They're taking a chunk of last night 217 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:06.320 and attaching it to the day. And that's hard. You 218 00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:09.600 get home and maybe you have maybe your nurse or 219 00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:14.759 your you know, athletic and you like to get up 220 00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:17.559 and run, or you do these things before work. Those 221 00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:20.679 are all very smart decisions that get you to have 222 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:23.960 the best, most productive day. It's not all about work. 223 00:13:24.039 --> 00:13:27.120 They take eight hours and the drive and all that stuff, 224 00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:30.159 but we still have other things to do. And I 225 00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:33.600 will tell you, normally, I was one who I don't 226 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:36.519 get tired physically the same way I get tired mentally. 227 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:40.360 My brain. There's times where and in this job it's 228 00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:42.679 different than you think. We're not digging ditches, I get it, 229 00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:46.559 but you get fatigue mentally, fatigue to where I don't 230 00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:49.320 want to I can't answer questions anymore, and my brain 231 00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:51.600 is not the place where I'm going to be thinking 232 00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:53.840 the best to make a decision on. I don't know 233 00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:57.240 where we're going to put money into, you know, stocks 234 00:13:57.320 --> 00:13:57.679 or something. 235 00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:00.639 At the end of the day, I'm like, it's even 236 00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:04.159 like trying to figure out something that's gone wrong with 237 00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:04.759 your computer. 238 00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:07.000 Yeah, where you have to sit there, Yeah, sit. 239 00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:09.759 Down and think it through to reset it or fix 240 00:14:09.840 --> 00:14:12.440 it or what or maybe it's a printer error or 241 00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:15.759 something stupid like that. You're like, I'm smart enough, I 242 00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:18.039 should be able to do this, But sometimes your brain 243 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:19.360 just can't handle it anymore. 244 00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:21.600 And that's when those little tiny naps might give you 245 00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:24.360 a little little burst or something. Because sometimes if I 246 00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:27.440 can't figure something out or I'm frustrated, then you go 247 00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:29.039 and you do what you got to do to reset 248 00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:31.360 your brain, a twenty minute nap or something. But I 249 00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:35.240 will find I've been finding that I'm much I'm much 250 00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:40.039 happier because I'm then on the weekend, if I want 251 00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:43.960 to do nothing, I can't. I'm not The weekend isn't 252 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:46.159 the only time. Now you've got to get all those 253 00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:49.279 things done, and you feel like you're working twice because 254 00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:51.600 you worked all week for the man, and now you 255 00:14:51.600 --> 00:14:54.000 get home and you got to work all weekend for yourself. 256 00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:59.639 It started changing things that I you know, and then 257 00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:02.799 things that were We have this little area where my 258 00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:04.879 wife will put things to let me know that it's 259 00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:07.480 to go to my shop. So it's like, oh, this 260 00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:10.679 broke if you can fix it, take it to the 261 00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:13.519 shop and fix it. And that was piling up. I 262 00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:15.360 mean there's stuff that has been in my shop for 263 00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:18.679 years that's not, you know, super important. It's like a 264 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:21.279 mirror that my wife liked that has a chip in 265 00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:23.000 it and where you have no place for it in 266 00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:26.039 the house necessarily, but she doesn't want to throw it away. 267 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:28.840 So something like that can sit for years in there 268 00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:32.320 because I have to sculpt. I have to take time 269 00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:35.159 to skull. It's a particular thing that has like a 270 00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.159 mermaid on it, and I have to sculpt part of 271 00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:39.679 the mermaid face. That's going to take me a different 272 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:42.960 kind of energy. But the other little things get done. 273 00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:45.840 And so reading this story it made me think about 274 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:47.879 changes that I've made, and I'm going to pass that 275 00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:50.639 along to you to say, I know I'm the type 276 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:54.840 of person that needs my downtime. My brain does, my 277 00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:58.559 body does, but my brain needs it more to think 278 00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:01.480 the way I like to think as somebody who's logical, 279 00:16:01.639 --> 00:16:05.600 hopefully and reasonable and goes through things. So try that. 280 00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:07.960 Make yourself a list of a couple of things, and 281 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:10.360 you're going to feel so much more accomplished each day 282 00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:13.600 that when it comes time for the weekend, you're not 283 00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:16.440 loaded with all that stuff that you pushed off because 284 00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:20.240 of the day. And it really had the opposite effect 285 00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:22.399 on me that I thought it was. I thought it 286 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:24.799 was just it was gonna fatigue me. Then you'll have 287 00:16:24.799 --> 00:16:27.799 those days, and you're allowed those days, but maybe give 288 00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:29.960 it a shot. And now you've got skuy Ince behind 289 00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:34.360 me and these people that study happiness, and look at me, 290 00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:39.240 I'm just a ball of fun. Handle is taking the 291 00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:43.159 day off because you know, you work so hard. Hope 292 00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:45.480 that furry little beck of his is floating in a 293 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:53.799 pool somewhere. Oh that's a horrible segue into what I'm doing. 294 00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:56.720 That was I want to tell you, this was not 295 00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:01.759 thought out, That wasn't humor. I was bashing Handle, but 296 00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:04.400 holding in my hand a story that I wanted to 297 00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:06.599 tell you about because I have an eight year old 298 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:12.960 and we have a pool, and this is absolutely serious, 299 00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:17.200 and that completely separate from me being stupid about handle. 300 00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:21.519 But it made me think about some of the things 301 00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:26.880 my wife really instilled in my son, and one of 302 00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:31.160 them was he's going to learn to swim immediately. So 303 00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:36.880 six months of age, I think he was already swimming underwater. 304 00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:39.319 Who was like one of those things where she would 305 00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:41.759 make sure that he could do that and went to 306 00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:45.920 the YMCA and made sure that he took swimming lessons 307 00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:49.079 and all of those things. And it's hilarious. I have 308 00:17:49.119 --> 00:17:52.880 a picture that looks like the cover of Nevermind. You know, 309 00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:56.480 it's like Nirmana's album Covery, where he's giving a thumbs 310 00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:01.079 up naked as day one, under the water like a 311 00:18:01.079 --> 00:18:05.440 little fish, and that he took to it. He still 312 00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:11.359 loves swimming. But when I came across a story that 313 00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:15.000 drowning is the leading cause of death in young kids, 314 00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:18.000 I was blown away. Now I know a lot of people. 315 00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:23.079 I'm gonna whittle this down a little bit. Here, it's 316 00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:27.279 getting hot, we're using pools more. An estimated four thousand 317 00:18:27.559 --> 00:18:32.680 fatal unintentional drownings happened every year in the United States. 318 00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:39.400 It's insane that average eleven drowning deaths per day, so 319 00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:44.160 says the CDC leading cause of death in children ages 320 00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:48.240 one to four and after motor vehicle accidents. It is 321 00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:52.319 the second leading cause of death attributed to unintentional injuries 322 00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:59.279 in kids ages five to fourteen. So breaking this down 323 00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:02.720 and going to the story, one thing and one thing 324 00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:07.519 stood out the most. Okay, getting the kids trained, and 325 00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:10.519 sometimes you know money is going to be an issue 326 00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:13.599 because a lot of this breaks down among racial lines 327 00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:18.960 as well in culture and the like. But you can 328 00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:23.839 find free classes. Sometimes the YMCA might have ways to 329 00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:26.559 help out. But like I said, that's what we ended 330 00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:29.920 up doing is take him to a local YMCA and 331 00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:31.839 having him because we didn't have a pool at the house, 332 00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:36.920 and so we went through that process with our boy 333 00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:39.880 and it really was super helpful. It's just like it. 334 00:19:40.039 --> 00:19:44.240 It gave him confidence. And kids are weird. They'll go 335 00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:47.759 through this stage where they are absolutely fearless of water. 336 00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:51.920 Some do at first, and then they'll go through I 337 00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:54.200 don't know if they get older and maybe understand what 338 00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:58.079 could happen and they get nervous again about water, and 339 00:19:58.119 --> 00:20:01.559 then sometimes they grow out of it again. So we 340 00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:03.440 were worried that he was going to go through that stage, 341 00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:06.200 so we constantly found ways, and what we did is 342 00:20:06.240 --> 00:20:09.319 we ended up we had a little spa and he 343 00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:11.240 would take him in there. And then we got an 344 00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:14.759 above ground pool, a small one to see if we'd 345 00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:18.079 use it, because it can be expensive obviously to get 346 00:20:18.079 --> 00:20:20.799 an in ground And then once we saw that the 347 00:20:20.839 --> 00:20:23.400 family used it, we got an in ground pool. So 348 00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:25.960 now he has one at eight to be able to 349 00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:28.839 go in there have family. It does not have it 350 00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:33.359 true deep end. It goes from about I don't know, 351 00:20:33.759 --> 00:20:37.720 three feet to maybe five feet in the deepest, and 352 00:20:37.759 --> 00:20:40.799 it's kind of a splash pool, smaller splash pool. But 353 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:48.359 having him learn how to swim was important. Nothing ever 354 00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:52.759 will do more than teaching a child to swim and 355 00:20:53.319 --> 00:20:58.480 supervision over and over. In this story, those were the 356 00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:02.519 two things that you get. Water is a part of 357 00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:05.119 our lives in one way or another. There may be 358 00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:06.799 a time where you're going to be on a boat, 359 00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:09.839 heaven forbid, you're you know, on a plane and something happened. 360 00:21:09.839 --> 00:21:15.759 I mean, knowing how to navigate water is very important, 361 00:21:16.920 --> 00:21:23.160 and the thought that kids are drowning still at this rate. 362 00:21:24.039 --> 00:21:31.480 Also learning CPR. CPR is imperative as well. If you're 363 00:21:31.519 --> 00:21:34.920 going to have our pool has an automatic cover that 364 00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:37.839 you it can't open it remotely. You have to be 365 00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:41.119 right there to open it. Those types of things, you 366 00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:44.240 could have ten adults stand on it and they're not 367 00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:48.039 going in. Having these precautions, I think you have to 368 00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:52.920 have at least three different precaution measures. Locks on the 369 00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:56.079 gates with buzzers or alarms if they're open. I think 370 00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:00.519 we had to do. The gates have to be able 371 00:22:02.359 --> 00:22:07.759 gosh to double lock and we have the cover, or 372 00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:11.519 you have to devigate another fence around the pool. And 373 00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:14.640 if you're gonna have them around water, children around water, 374 00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:15.920 these are the things that you have to do to 375 00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:19.480 keep them safe. But I got to tell you find someone, 376 00:22:19.559 --> 00:22:21.400 even if they do it pro bono, that will teach 377 00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:25.759 your kids how to swim, and never ever leave them 378 00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:31.319 around water unsupervised, period because that number is way too much. 379 00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:37.720 Eleven per day, all right, Britney spears in the news again. 380 00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:39.960 She pops up all the time, and it's never for 381 00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:45.599 anything good. She's a mess And I normally am not 382 00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:49.000 spending time talking about Britney Spears. So I have a 383 00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:53.880 point to this. I assure you. She makes these weird videos, 384 00:22:54.720 --> 00:23:01.720 dances with knives all these things just straight right, and 385 00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:05.160 it's almost sad really to watch it. But if you 386 00:23:05.200 --> 00:23:11.960 remember back, was it twenty twenty one, So she had 387 00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:17.519 a thirteen year long conservatorship I think her father, and 388 00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:20.279 very controversial and there were a lot of her fans 389 00:23:20.279 --> 00:23:23.319 that would, you know, say, free Brittany and all those things. 390 00:23:24.880 --> 00:23:29.480 So she was finally freed of that as she continues 391 00:23:29.559 --> 00:23:33.039 to do odd things and say odd things, and I 392 00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:36.640 can't help but think, this is a person to me 393 00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:41.400 in distress, this is a person with mental issues. And 394 00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:44.519 how again, and this is a reoccurring theme with me, 395 00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:49.920 is we have gone from a rational society to an 396 00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:55.680 emotional society because you do not see anybody coming to 397 00:23:55.759 --> 00:24:00.720 her aid now. It was all about the concernship, which 398 00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:02.559 may have been bad. I don't know. Maybe her dad's 399 00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:05.200 a jerk. I have no idea, But that doesn't mean 400 00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:07.960 that she doesn't need someone to look after her. Because 401 00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:11.920
