Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: High stakes.
- 0:05Speaker 2: That's why the presidents said that Russia meetings all about
- 0:08Speaker 2: later on today is on his way to meet with Putin.
- 0:11Speaker 2: That's coming up as well as well as this. For
- 0:13Speaker 2: the first time, at least in the history of my
- 0:15Speaker 2: podcast here in the short few months we've been doing it,
- 0:20Speaker 2: one story has consistently flowed all the way through the
- 0:23Speaker 2: work week, through Monday, all the way through today, and
- 0:26Speaker 2: it is the crime situation in Washington, d C. But
- 0:29Speaker 2: this is a little bit different because I knew it
- 0:31Speaker 2: was going to take a while, and this is kind
- 0:32Speaker 2: of a good takeaway for all of us.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Whenever you hear the hysterics, first.
- 0:35Speaker 2: Of all, about it's a takeover, it's a regime. It's
- 0:38Speaker 2: a wait a couple of days, and start to hear
- 0:40Speaker 2: from the real people, not the talking heads, not the politicians,
- 0:44Speaker 2: not people with a vested interest or an agenda, Listen
- 0:47Speaker 2: to real people. And now they're starting to get their
- 0:49Speaker 2: voices heard. This so called takeover in DC is incredibly
- 0:53Speaker 2: popular with the real people that actually live there. We'll
- 0:56Speaker 2: get to that as well, but we'll lighten it up too.
- 0:58Speaker 2: It's not gonna be all serious stuff. Most importantly, the
- 1:01Speaker 2: most important thing we can talk about today is it's Friday.
- 1:03Speaker 1: Welcome to your weekend. Almost we'll get through this.
- 1:06Speaker 2: Let's talk about some news, how you can handle it,

- 1:32Speaker 2: with something awesome and fun and ironic and classic. Now,
- 1:37Speaker 2: like I said, it's pretty rare that a story because
- 1:40Speaker 2: the move the news happens so fast these days. Right,
- 1:42Speaker 2: Something makes the headlines and then it's out of the headlines,
- 1:44Speaker 2: people forget about it.
- 1:45Speaker 1: It's all part of the news cycle.
- 1:47Speaker 2: The crime situation in Washington, DC and President Trump announcing
- 1:52Speaker 2: the Homeland Act where it's not a takeover FEDS and
- 1:58Speaker 2: Homeland Security and even park police and now getting some
- 2:01Speaker 2: assistance with the DC police to help the residents there
- 2:04Speaker 2: with what they've been living under this there's always light
- 2:08Speaker 2: in the darkness. And this is one of the funniest
- 2:10Speaker 2: stories that came out of this, not at first because
- 2:12Speaker 2: we didn't know what it actually was, right, and the
- 2:13Speaker 2: guy is actually lucky he didn't get shot. I'm talking
- 2:16Speaker 2: about the subway sandwich thrower. I'm sure you've seen this
- 2:21Speaker 2: by now. You've seen the video, but there's an amazing
- 2:22Speaker 2: update on this. So here's the original assault. And this
- 2:26Speaker 2: guy was actually in DC, but he was protesting some
- 2:28Speaker 2: of the cops that were there, and he actually threw
- 2:31Speaker 2: a sandwich a sub at cops like in their faces,
- 2:35Speaker 2: and then ran and then of course they caught him,
- 2:37Speaker 2: of course, But if you missed the original video, fuck
- 2:44Speaker 2: Oh and of course the brilliant commentary from whoever was
- 2:48Speaker 2: running camera.
- 2:50Speaker 1: That's what you get.
- 2:51Speaker 2: That's social media these days, that's what it is, right,
- 2:53Speaker 2: So of course they arrest him. They didn't know anything else,
- 2:55Speaker 2: and everybody was laughing about it, and all the jokes
- 2:57Speaker 2: were all out there, and I've heard them all and
- 2:59Speaker 2: I asked him myself, I wonder, I wonder what kind
- 3:01Speaker 2: of a sandwich it was. I believe it was, by
- 3:05Speaker 2: the way, the answer to that question. It was a
- 3:07Speaker 2: five dollars woke long all right, that that went over
- 3:10Speaker 2: like a lead balloon. But it's Friday and I'm punchy. Whatever,
- 3:12Speaker 2: that's what it is. Well, there's an amazing update on
- 3:14Speaker 2: this because the subway sandwich sub thrower, as it turns out,
- 3:18Speaker 2: was a federal contractor.
- 3:20Speaker 1: That's right, he was with the DOJ.
- 3:22Speaker 2: That news broken yesterday by none other than the amazing
- 3:26Speaker 2: Harmte Dillon yesterday. Uh, she didn't interview with Benny Johnson.
- 3:31Speaker 1: Here's here's her talking about. You're telling me that the
- 3:34Speaker 1: man in the salmon colored shirt here is a DOJ contractor.
- 3:38Speaker 3: Yes, the man in the salmon colored shirt with the
- 3:41Speaker 3: defeat gesture there of throwing a subway sandwich is was
- 3:46Speaker 3: a DJ contractor.
- 3:47Speaker 1: He is no longer incredible. I absolutely love her.
- 3:52Speaker 2: Well now he has no job because of course they
- 3:55Speaker 2: got a fire room and he has no sandwich. So
- 3:57Speaker 2: that didn't really work out too well for him. You
- 3:59Speaker 2: know what's amaze everybody talks about this authoritarian takeover in DC.
- 4:03Speaker 2: Those cops there, they didn't shoot them, could have. They
- 4:06Speaker 2: didn't know what it was at first, they didn't know
- 4:07Speaker 2: it was a sandwich in his hand, but they didn't
- 4:09Speaker 2: arrest him, and now he's out of a job. I
- 4:12Speaker 2: love harm meat too with the a feat gesture there.
- 4:15Speaker 2: So there's your crime situation. But as always, like I said,
- 4:20Speaker 2: this is a really good news media takeaway for stuff.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Whenever something happens, it's something big like this, and it
- 4:27Speaker 2: was a big story. This is like one of those
- 4:29Speaker 2: big culture stories.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Right. Wow, the FEDS are coming in to help out
- 4:32Speaker 1: with crime in DC. It's that bad? No, no, no,
- 4:35Speaker 1: All week long.
- 4:36Speaker 2: We were told by politicians who are against this, who
- 4:39Speaker 2: have a vested interest in this.
- 4:41Speaker 1: What is the this is this is totally unnecessary crime.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Isn't that bad? Really? Okay?
- 4:46Speaker 2: By the way, this is another understated point. Is that
- 4:49Speaker 2: why there's been a curfew in Washington, DC for kids
- 4:52Speaker 2: under eighteen overnight?
- 4:53Speaker 4: No?
- 4:54Speaker 1: Crime can't be that bad? Right right?
- 4:57Speaker 2: Well now, as always, if you wait a couple of days,
- 5:00Speaker 2: get away from the talking heads and the politicians and
- 5:02Speaker 2: people with a vested interest in telling you how things
- 5:04Speaker 2: really are because they have an agenda. And by the way,
- 5:06Speaker 2: we're gonna listen to city officials with statistics who have
- 5:10Speaker 2: a vested interest in telling you their crime is not bad.
- 5:14Speaker 1: You never listen to them.
- 5:15Speaker 2: You can twist statistics any way you possibly want, use
- 5:17Speaker 2: your eyes and ears and talk to real people who
- 5:20Speaker 2: actually live in that city, like this lady, because now
- 5:24Speaker 2: the voices are finally starting to be heard. Here's a
- 5:26Speaker 2: lady talking about what it's really like on the streets
- 5:30Speaker 2: of Washington, DC.
- 5:31Speaker 1: You want to listen to her.
- 5:32Speaker 4: We need all the protection that we can get in
- 5:34Speaker 4: the city recalled a city is really getting dangerous. A
- 5:38Speaker 4: person like me at this age, I has to make
- 5:41Speaker 4: sure to come home before sundown.
- 5:44Speaker 2: There's just a lady who has to get home before
- 5:47Speaker 2: sundown because she's afraid of getting mugged. But no, it's okay,
- 5:51Speaker 2: that's totally fine, that's totally safe, totally overreaction. Right to
- 5:54Speaker 2: have some federal assistance, right, Like we said yesterday, it's
- 5:58Speaker 2: coming to a city near you as well.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Is the crime out of control?
- 6:01Speaker 2: This is one of the top campaign issues that people
- 6:05Speaker 2: voted for, and the administration know this. That's why they're
- 6:07Speaker 2: doing it because they know they have the public support.
- 6:10Speaker 2: But wait a minute, do they have the public support?
- 6:12Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 6:13Speaker 2: Let's see, let's go to CNN yesterday talking about it
- 6:17Speaker 2: because they have their posters and they have to talk
- 6:18Speaker 2: about it. What's this rule I've been telling you for
- 6:21Speaker 2: months now. If CNN is talking about something that's beneficial
- 6:24Speaker 2: to the president, you can.
- 6:26Speaker 1: Take it as gospel.
- 6:28Speaker 2: Because the last thing CNN wants to do is talk
- 6:31Speaker 2: about anything that's beneficial to President Trump.
- 6:34Speaker 1: That's one of the first takeaways.
- 6:36Speaker 5: And here's what the Democrats have to get it around
- 6:38Speaker 5: their heads that Americans are far more hawkish on crime
- 6:42Speaker 5: than they think that they are. What are we talking
- 6:43Speaker 5: about Trump's not approval handling crime. Where was he last year?
- 6:47Speaker 5: He was way underwater at minus thirteen points views of
- 6:50Speaker 5: term number one.
- 6:51Speaker 1: But look where he is now.
- 6:52Speaker 5: He's on the positive side of election. He's on the
- 6:54Speaker 5: positive side at plus one points. Americans.
- 6:57Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much, America is in favor of cracking down
- 7:01Speaker 2: on crime as a whole as a nation.
- 7:04Speaker 1: We've had enough.
- 7:05Speaker 2: It might have been a top three election issue for you,
- 7:07Speaker 2: was top two for me. Like I said, I've told
- 7:08Speaker 2: you a million times, I have a daughter that goes
- 7:10Speaker 2: to school in New York.
- 7:12Speaker 1: City, that crime ridden cesspool.
- 7:16Speaker 2: But again, like what the stats right, New York City
- 7:19Speaker 2: officials will tell you, no crime rates are down.
- 7:21Speaker 1: Arrest her up. It's fine.
- 7:23Speaker 2: City's never been safer. Right again, I'll say it again
- 7:26Speaker 2: a million times. Never listen to people who have a
- 7:28Speaker 2: vested interest in selling you an agenda. Use your eyes,
- 7:31Speaker 2: your ears, and what it's like. And I've been to
- 7:33Speaker 2: that city a lot, much more than I've wanted to recently,
- 7:37Speaker 2: and it is not the same. It's crime ridden, it's dirty,
- 7:41Speaker 2: and people who have been living there for a long
- 7:43Speaker 2: time tells me it's back to like the early seventies
- 7:45Speaker 2: days when it was a mess. That's the truth. Listen
- 7:48Speaker 2: to people who were actually there, all right, enough of
- 7:51Speaker 2: the crime story, even though the subway thrower story.
- 7:54Speaker 1: Was awesome, that was hilarious. That's god.
- 7:56Speaker 2: And by the way, here's another takeaway on the subway
- 7:58Speaker 2: thrower who was a Department of Justice contractor confirmed well
- 8:03Speaker 2: was because he lost his job.
- 8:05Speaker 1: Here's another thing.
- 8:07Speaker 2: I'm never gonna let anybody in the media or anybody
- 8:12Speaker 2: else in life make me feel bad about them cleaning
- 8:16Speaker 2: house and cutting the fat from all these federal agencies
- 8:19Speaker 2: like that guy. You know, because the first people that
- 8:21Speaker 2: go with these contractors, all of them right now, all.
- 8:23Speaker 1: We've heard all for months, the story's.
- 8:25Speaker 2: Oh no, all these feds, Oh, they're looking for work.
- 8:30Speaker 2: They've had to sell their million dollar Northern Virginia houses.
- 8:34Speaker 2: It's so said, Yeah, tough shit. Because if the Department
- 8:38Speaker 2: of Justice has been hiring a guy like that who
- 8:41Speaker 2: thought he could throw a sub a sandwich at cops
- 8:45Speaker 2: and get away with it and not get fired, if
- 8:48Speaker 2: that's what you've been employing, eat it.
- 8:52Speaker 1: I don't care.
- 8:54Speaker 2: Can you imagine if that guy was a contractor what
- 8:56Speaker 2: some of the other ones are like useless, overpaid, doing nothing.
- 9:01Speaker 2: And that's not everybody, that's not all federal employees, but
- 9:03Speaker 2: it's a hell of a lot of them.
- 9:05Speaker 1: Cut the fat, and don't make me feel bad about it,
- 9:07Speaker 1: because I'm not. That's all I'm saying about that.
- 9:09Speaker 2: All right, about an hour ago, and this is you'll
- 9:12Speaker 2: probably get the news about it later on if you're
- 9:14Speaker 2: watching or listening to this later on.
- 9:15Speaker 1: But President Trump was on his way to Alaska with
- 9:20Speaker 1: as he.
- 9:21Speaker 2: Stated, and put on truth Social, which I'm sure was
- 9:23Speaker 2: when he was on air Force one, a two word
- 9:26Speaker 2: truth social, all in capital letters and two exclamation points
- 9:30Speaker 2: high stakes, and it is I mean, how can you
- 9:34Speaker 2: possibly describe a meeting with Vladimir Putin as anything other
- 9:39Speaker 2: than high stakes, right, And this is about Russia and Ukraine,
- 9:41Speaker 2: and by the way, bad move on Ukraine's part last
- 9:44Speaker 2: night launching another offensive with drones. That probably wasn't the
- 9:46Speaker 2: smartest thing the night before the meeting. But regardless, here
- 9:49Speaker 2: we are. We all want peace in the world. We
- 9:54Speaker 2: all want less American involvement and less money going over there,
- 9:57Speaker 2: because it's just extending the war and sending it out
- 9:59Speaker 2: even right, getting it, getting us into it even deeper.
- 10:03Speaker 1: But that's not how it's being portrayed.
- 10:05Speaker 2: Isn't it interesting? You probably notice the same exact thing
- 10:08Speaker 2: I did. It's like they're all telling us, all the
- 10:10Speaker 2: politicians are telling it. And I'm on the right too,
- 10:12Speaker 2: by the way, you know this isn't a left right thing.
- 10:14Speaker 2: I'm just talking about politicians versus US and the media.
- 10:17Speaker 1: What are they telling us? Well, I've heard.
- 10:19Speaker 2: These are all the messages I've heard about Trump as
- 10:22Speaker 2: it pertains to this war in Putin.
- 10:24Speaker 1: The first criticism was, remember.
- 10:25Speaker 2: This, this all relates back to the Russia collusion hoax.
- 10:29Speaker 1: He's a Putin puppet. He's doing whatever Putin tells him
- 10:31Speaker 1: to do. He's doing it well, hmmm.
- 10:34Speaker 2: As more and more documents are being released and whistleblowers
- 10:37Speaker 2: are coming forward, it turns out the Russia collusion hoax
- 10:39Speaker 2: was a bunch of crap kapiche I mean, is there
- 10:42Speaker 2: any simpler way to say it?
- 10:43Speaker 1: Right?
- 10:44Speaker 2: We've also heard this, it's not doing enough. So now
- 10:47Speaker 2: we're hearing that he's on the side of Russia in
- 10:50Speaker 2: this war and funding it and fostering it. And now
- 10:54Speaker 2: they're also saying he's not doing enough. But now they're
- 10:57Speaker 2: back to saying that he shouldn't be meaning with pooh, okay.
- 11:02Speaker 3: I think the.
- 11:02Speaker 2: Takeaway for us normal folks is let's not listen to
- 11:05Speaker 2: these people anymore. Perfect example, and I hate to start
- 11:08Speaker 2: your day off with a drunk octagenarian.
- 11:12Speaker 1: But here she well, let's hope.
- 11:13Speaker 3: But he said he was going to end it one day.
- 11:16Speaker 5: He hasn't done that.
- 11:18Speaker 3: But again, we want to know people of Ukraine and
- 11:22Speaker 3: we command them for fighting for democracy and in fighting
- 11:26Speaker 3: for their democracy to their fighting for ours as well.
- 11:30Speaker 3: They are fighting for democracy ret law.
- 11:33Speaker 2: Huh, yeah, it's now she's back to he said he
- 11:37Speaker 2: was going to end the war on day one. It's
- 11:40Speaker 2: been one hundred days, all right, So it's kind of obvious.
- 11:43Speaker 2: Whatever the guy does, as it pertains to this or
- 11:45Speaker 2: any other issue, they're just going to attack. So whatever,
- 11:47Speaker 2: and even if you don't like even if you're even
- 11:49Speaker 2: if you hate Trump, even if you hate everything, what's
- 11:53Speaker 2: going on with this?
- 11:54Speaker 4: Now?
- 11:54Speaker 2: Pick a side or you have a side, whatever it is.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Isn't it an everybody's best interest to just talk? And
- 11:59Speaker 2: he says the other day it's some of the interviews,
- 12:01Speaker 2: there are some of the press conference questions.
- 12:03Speaker 1: He goes, I don't know.
- 12:03Speaker 2: I'm walking into this thing with a open mind. I'm
- 12:05Speaker 2: gonna tell them what I want. I'm already pissed off
- 12:07Speaker 2: that Putin has not listened to him before. Let's see,
- 12:12Speaker 2: but let's all hope, like for humanity's sake, that this
- 12:16Speaker 2: thing ends. Let's just stop this war, because you know
- 12:18Speaker 2: as well as I do, there are a lot of
- 12:19Speaker 2: people like her in Washington, DC who want this thing
- 12:24Speaker 2: to keep on going. It's the military industrial contract to
- 12:27Speaker 2: get the complex with the contracts that are happening here,
- 12:30Speaker 2: weapons manufacturing. The more you feed into that thing, the
- 12:34Speaker 2: more it's gonna Happen'd be great if this war just stops,
- 12:37Speaker 2: be great, if all wars stop and thinks what we
- 12:38Speaker 2: all want and personally, I'd like us to be a
- 12:41Speaker 2: lot less.
- 12:41Speaker 1: Involved and hopefully we don't have to be.
- 12:43Speaker 2: All right, there's another thing regarding President Trump, and I'll
- 12:47Speaker 2: just throw this in there before we get to something
- 12:48Speaker 2: fun and ridiculous to head into the weekend. Also, this
- 12:51Speaker 2: happened yesterday speaking of the man in charge here about
- 12:54Speaker 2: this with Social Security. Everything you ever suspected was probably
- 12:58Speaker 2: true in what they're finding out now. And this goes
- 13:00Speaker 2: back to we haven't talked about them in a while
- 13:02Speaker 2: DOGE Department of Government Efficiency. They haven't stopped working, and
- 13:06Speaker 2: they find stuff like this and they get it to
- 13:07Speaker 2: this guy and ivents.
- 13:08Speaker 6: We've already kicked nearly two hundred and seventy five thousand
- 13:12Speaker 6: illegal aliens off of the Social Security system. These are people,
- 13:17Speaker 6: many of them have already left the country, and yet
- 13:20Speaker 6: we were sending them checks all the time and two
- 13:24Speaker 6: hundred and seventy five thousand, and that numbers now even
- 13:26Speaker 6: larger than that. Frank, it's unbelievable job. And what that's
- 13:30Speaker 6: doing is making the system strong. It's making it strong.
- 13:35Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, what are the chances that
- 13:38Speaker 2: those illegal aliens, as he says, were actually getting the money.
- 13:43Speaker 2: Because I think it's just my personal being, I don't
- 13:46Speaker 2: think it was very likely at all that they were seeing.
- 13:48Speaker 1: Any of this. But I think their names were being used.
- 13:51Speaker 2: I think, like as giving them social Security numbers, which
- 13:56Speaker 2: we found was actually happening to get them into the
- 13:58Speaker 2: system for Social Security payoffs was happening. But I don't
- 14:05Speaker 2: think the people whose numbers were assigned or came to
- 14:07Speaker 2: this country illegally. I don't think they ever got the money.
- 14:10Speaker 2: But somebody did. For damn sure somebody did. So maybe
- 14:13Speaker 2: maybe the whole illegal immigration thing opening up the border
- 14:16Speaker 2: was just all a big grifting money scam. Maybe is
- 14:19Speaker 2: impossible because a lot of money was siphoned off. This
- 14:23Speaker 2: possibly the whole idea. And we've all asked, why, what's
- 14:25Speaker 2: the benefit to opening the border? Why would you do this?
- 14:28Speaker 2: Why would you not crack down an illegal immigration? All
- 14:31Speaker 2: it takes doesn't take an executive, All it takes is
- 14:34Speaker 2: a leader in charge.
- 14:35Speaker 1: Why did you open it up?
- 14:37Speaker 2: Maybe maybe it was to siphon money out of social Security.
- 14:43Speaker 2: Maybe so, maybe they didn't really care about the humanitarian
- 14:46Speaker 2: efforts of the people coming across the border. Maybe they
- 14:48Speaker 2: didn't really care about their future at all, but they
- 14:51Speaker 2: wanted their names in a system and giving them numbers
- 14:54Speaker 2: so they can steal the money from them and us.
- 14:56Speaker 2: Maybe all right, just throwing that out there, but I
- 15:01Speaker 2: will say I never actually thought all of those years
- 15:04Speaker 2: that I put into Social Security. You know, you look
- 15:06Speaker 2: at your paycheck and you look at it. I always
- 15:08Speaker 2: my mindset was always, well, that's never gonna be there
- 15:10Speaker 2: when I retire. I never thought this thing, this broken,
- 15:13Speaker 2: stupid system, was going to be viable enough, in jeez,
- 15:18Speaker 2: in a couple.
- 15:18Speaker 1: Of years now. But it actually may be. I mean,
- 15:21Speaker 1: if you take that many.
- 15:24Speaker 2: Fraudulent names off of it, and you clean it up
- 15:27Speaker 2: and you get some of that money back and make
- 15:28Speaker 2: it an efficient system, which may or may not happen, maybe.
- 15:32Speaker 1: It will be there. Maybe it'll even be there for
- 15:34Speaker 1: our kids. Doubt it, but who the heck knows. But anyway,
- 15:36Speaker 1: that was the update on that.
- 15:37Speaker 2: All right, too much serious stuff, even though we try
- 15:41Speaker 2: to lighten it up. Let's send you off into the
- 15:43Speaker 2: weekend with something.
- 15:44Speaker 1: Even more stupid. You ready for this now?
- 15:46Speaker 2: I love these things because I'm a dork and I
- 15:48Speaker 2: follow them.
- 15:50Speaker 1: Societal trends. Right.
- 15:51Speaker 2: This goes back to like back way back in college
- 15:54Speaker 2: when I would love like sociology classes, Like I just
- 15:56Speaker 2: love social trends of where people are going, what people think.
- 15:59Speaker 2: So that's why I love these social studies surveys. Right,
- 16:03Speaker 2: and this one comes from RISE Workplace well Being and
- 16:08Speaker 2: then published in Stylist.
- 16:11Speaker 1: I don't know either, but anyway, they did.
- 16:13Speaker 2: A big survey, and this study found that forty two
- 16:15Speaker 2: percent of your total day should go towards rest and relaxation.
- 16:21Speaker 2: You know why this is relevant now, or pretends to
- 16:24Speaker 2: be relevant. It's National Relaxation Day, that's right. It is
- 16:28Speaker 2: a national day for everything. It's national talk real like
- 16:30Speaker 2: a pirate day. It's National eat cobbler pie Day. It's National.
- 16:35Speaker 1: Come quat Day.
- 16:36Speaker 2: I don't freaking know they got a national day for everything, right, Well,
- 16:39Speaker 2: today's National Relaxation Day. And I want to repeat that
- 16:42Speaker 2: again because they just throw it out there like this
- 16:44Speaker 2: is a normal thing they decided by talking to all
- 16:47Speaker 2: these people whoever Rise Workplace Well Being, is that forty
- 16:51Speaker 2: two percent of your total day should go towards rest
- 16:56Speaker 2: and relaxation. Okay, I don't want to sound like old
- 17:01Speaker 2: man yelling at the clouds here, but I'm going to
- 17:04Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you, and not.
- 17:06Speaker 1: Like you would listen to this anyway, but let's just
- 17:08Speaker 1: make fun of it.
- 17:09Speaker 2: If you're spending forty two percent of your day, which
- 17:12Speaker 2: is not that much, under fifty percent, just under half
- 17:16Speaker 2: your day of waking hours relaxing, you ain't going too far, kid,
- 17:26Speaker 2: And I know and everybody gets it. I get it's
- 17:28Speaker 2: well understood and the science is behind this. Now where
- 17:30Speaker 2: you need a work life balance. Totally understand that.
- 17:32Speaker 1: I totally get it. Your body and your mind, you
- 17:34Speaker 1: need time to relax.
- 17:36Speaker 2: That they had the gall to throw out a number
- 17:40Speaker 2: like forty two percent if your work of your day
- 17:43Speaker 2: should be resting and relaxing, I wouldn't hire you. Let
- 17:48Speaker 2: me just throw it, just put it that way. But
- 17:51Speaker 2: it's relevant apparently because it's National Relaxation Day.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Okay.
- 17:55Speaker 2: I hope you do relax, and I hope you relax
- 17:57Speaker 2: this weekend, but let me just leave you with this.
- 17:59Speaker 2: And this is just things that things have just picked
- 18:01Speaker 2: up over the years in an incorporate workplace and being
- 18:04Speaker 2: a business owner and I guess as a parent, and
- 18:07Speaker 2: just being a just being a human in life. Forget
- 18:10Speaker 2: about the forty two percent relaxation rule, because that's going
- 18:14Speaker 2: to get you nowhere. It's just not first thing is
- 18:18Speaker 2: chill out while you do a lot of things. You'll
- 18:20Speaker 2: find if you don't get overwhelmed and you just kind
- 18:23Speaker 2: of like work easy, not work hard, you can get
- 18:25Speaker 2: more done. But that's not relaxing forty two percent of
- 18:28Speaker 2: the day. And the other thing is, if you want
- 18:30Speaker 2: to get ahead, take it from me. If you do
- 18:34Speaker 2: just five percent more than anybody else in the organization
- 18:39Speaker 2: five you know, three to five percent, let's even lower it,
- 18:44Speaker 2: you're gonna blow the competition away, because, as sad as
- 18:47Speaker 2: it is at every level in any job or project,
- 18:53Speaker 2: if you do just five percent more than everybody else,
- 18:56Speaker 2: and sometimes that can just be like showing up on
- 18:58Speaker 2: time or staying late, of doing a little extra work,
- 19:01Speaker 2: of following up with people, like simple stuff, you're gonna
- 19:05Speaker 2: go very very far. And that's my life advice. That's
- 19:09Speaker 2: my life advice to you today, not forty two percent
- 19:12Speaker 2: relaxing during the day, five percent doing a little bit
- 19:16Speaker 2: more than everybody else. And that's what I'll leave you with.
- 19:18Speaker 2: That said, we're on the cusp of a weekend. It's
- 19:21Speaker 2: right over the corner. Happy Friday, Happy weekend. I hope
- 19:23Speaker 2: you do have a great time. Thanks for hanging out
- 19:25Speaker 2: with me. All this stuff available on replay over the weekend.
- 19:27Speaker 2: I've noticed a trend with you guys. A lot of
- 19:29Speaker 2: people catch up on the audio podcast and the replay
- 19:32Speaker 2: of the live stream and pod during the weekend.
- 19:35Speaker 1: And I totally get that, because.
- 19:36Speaker 2: You know, that's when you might have some free time
- 19:38Speaker 2: in your hand now, the weekend, that is for relaxation.
- 19:41Speaker 2: So I hope you get it and do it. We'll
- 19:44Speaker 2: catch up again on Monday. Have a wicked awesome weekend.
