- 0:01Speaker 1: Welcome to Positively three hundred and sixty five, a podcast
- 0:05Speaker 1: by Joe wattis we wish to entertain, instruct, and motivate.
- 0:10Speaker 1: If nothing else, hopefully we can entertain and inspire you
- 0:13Speaker 1: to live a more positive life three hundred and sixty
- 0:16Speaker 1: five days a year.
- 0:17Speaker 2: We hope you enjoy this message.
- 0:32Speaker 3: A bear, a moose, and a wolf fall into a
- 0:37Speaker 3: trapping pit after a couple of days with no food.
- 0:41Speaker 3: The moose sees the wolf and bear whispering to each other.
- 0:45Speaker 3: The wolf turns to the moose and says, look, the
- 0:49Speaker 3: bear and I are both carnivores and it's been a
- 0:52Speaker 3: couple of days without food. You understand right. The moose says, yeah,
- 0:59Speaker 3: I guess you're right. But listen, before you kill and
- 1:02Speaker 3: eat me, can I just ask for one last request?
- 1:06Speaker 3: There is a birthmark under my tail that is supposedly
- 1:11Speaker 3: looking like a word, but I've never known what it says.
- 1:16Speaker 3: Do you think you could take a look at it
- 1:18Speaker 3: and tell me what it says? The wolf says, of course.
- 1:24Speaker 3: So the wolf and the bear get close to the
- 1:26Speaker 3: back end of the moose and lift up his tail.
- 1:31Speaker 3: Right at that moment, the moose gets up on his
- 1:35Speaker 3: front legs and kicks both the bear and the wolf
- 1:39Speaker 3: in the chest. The wolf is killed instantly and the
- 1:43Speaker 3: bear is fatally wounded, and with his dying breath, says,
- 1:50Speaker 3: I don't even know why the heck I looked. I
- 1:54Speaker 3: can't even read. There is oh so much hate, so much,
- 2:11Speaker 3: too much hate in the world. When that hate gets
- 2:15Speaker 3: into us, it is a venom that can make us
- 2:18Speaker 3: miserable and eat us up on the inside. Release the hate,
- 2:23Speaker 3: release the anger. When we do this, it is for
- 2:27Speaker 3: our own mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. We will
- 2:32Speaker 3: talk about this in this week's episode of Positively three
- 2:36Speaker 3: sixty five, But first we have our trivia question of
- 2:40Speaker 3: the day. Are you ready for it? Here it is
- 2:45Speaker 3: which planet in our Solar System has the most gravity?
- 2:51Speaker 3: We will have the answer when we come back. Do
- 3:48Speaker 3: you know the answer to this week's trivia question? The
- 3:52Speaker 3: question was which planet in our Solar System has the
- 3:57Speaker 3: most gravity? The answer you Jupiter has the strongest gravitational
- 4:03Speaker 3: pull of any planet in our Solar System due to
- 4:07Speaker 3: its massive size, with a gravitational force that is two
- 4:11Speaker 3: and a half times that of Earth's, it influences many
- 4:15Speaker 3: of its surrounding moons and even has an impact on
- 4:19Speaker 3: other objects in the Solar System, such as asteroids and comets.
- 4:25Speaker 3: This intense gravity is also why Jupiter has such thick
- 4:29Speaker 3: and dense atmospheres, made up of primarily hydrogen and helium.
- 4:37Speaker 3: Now you know we can choose to be a light
- 4:56Speaker 3: in a world that often seems overwhelmed with hate and anger.
- 5:01Speaker 3: It's easy to get caught up in negativity, especially when
- 5:05Speaker 3: things are tense or challenging, But when we resist the
- 5:09Speaker 3: urge to give into anger, we take a step toward
- 5:13Speaker 3: creating a kinder, more understanding world. Being a light means
- 5:19Speaker 3: showing compassion even when it's difficult, and holding on to
- 5:23Speaker 3: hope when things get dark. Our actions, no matter how small,
- 5:29Speaker 3: have the power to transform and inspire and uplift those
- 5:35Speaker 3: around us. So let us remember that by choosing empathy
- 5:39Speaker 3: and patience and kindness, we can make a lasting positive impact.
- 6:03Speaker 3: The African American singer and dancer bo Jangles, when he
- 6:08Speaker 3: was making the film The Little Colonel, was informed that
- 6:13Speaker 3: he wasn't allowed to hold Shirley Temple's hand while they
- 6:17Speaker 3: were filming a stair scene. She insisted anyway, and grabbed
- 6:22Speaker 3: his hand during the act This scene became the first
- 6:26Speaker 3: time where integrated dance partners were filmed dancing together on film.
- 6:35Speaker 3: She also credited him for making her a better dancer
- 6:38Speaker 3: throughout her career. In other words, it is hard to
- 6:43Speaker 3: live in color when you just see black and white
- 6:47Speaker 3: in a world full of hate. Choose to be a light.
