  Speaker 3: Kevin thinks that I watch too much news.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: He thinks that it has changed me a little bit
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: because I get I will any free time. I'll have
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: like one AirPod in and it's a constant like let
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: me see what Megan Kelly says, let me see what says,
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: let me see what you know. I like to see clips,
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: and I've started doing that since you started working on Yes, yes,
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: I never was in it before ever. So and he's
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: not political. You know, I love talking politics. He doesn't
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: love it. So he said, you know. One day he
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: came in.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Kevin's kind of a quiet guy.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah he is.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: He doesn't really talk much about much of it.
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so then he should just listen. Okay, that makes
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: sense to me. He should just let me talk politics.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: So he came in one day and I was like,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: you know, did you know that they're you know, they're
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: not telling us the truth about this that you know
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: a lot of I think we were always getting upset
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: because I found out that a lot of our people
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: in Congress have gotten very wealthy from insider trading. Yes,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: And it just really went all over me. And he said, Terry,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: you watch too much, like this is changing your mood.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: I said, does that not upset you? I said, the
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: beautiful thing about me is I'm like that fish story on,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: you know, two seconds later I'm on if I see
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: something else that makes me laugh and happy, I'm over
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: it for the people that are doing insider trading. But yeah,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: he thinks, He's like, I think that you would be
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: a happier person. I have heard this. I've heard people say.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: In fact, Coach Burrows was on not a podcast, he
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: does a weekly radio show, and I heard him say
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: he was asked a question about social media. He said,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: I don't do that. He said, I'm a better person.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: I'm a happier person now that I don't look at
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: that all the time.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: Interesting. But then I think, but you're not informed.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: You know what's interesting? Like you saying that makes me
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: think we're all wired so differently. You know, you're able,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: like you said, you're like Dory, but really you're just
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: a very positive person. So yeah, you consume a lot
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: of politics, but you're able to see the bright, beautiful
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: things in life too and be just as happy, so
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: it doesn't affect your mood. Maybe some people are wired
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: where they are more impath you know, they feel it
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: and they take it in. I saw this real recently
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: and this guy was asking the question, is too much
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: news harmonists and that. He goes on to say that
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: our souls were not actually meant to know the news
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: of the world. He's like, you know, we humans are
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: meant to live in small, organic communities of about one
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: hundred and fifty people. And he said, part of the
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: reason is that we're not supposed to know about the
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: tragedy in Congo. We're not supposed to know about Ukraine.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: He goes on and on on. So then you go
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: down to the comments to see what other people are saying,
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: and people are like, absolutely, you're false. We need to
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: know and we need to help. He feels like we
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: can cleanse our thinking in our mind if we're not
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: consuming it. But other people are saying when people scream out,
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: I need help, it is our responsibility to help. In
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: order to help, we must know. We must be educated
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: on what's happening everywhere everywhere else.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: Well, can two things be true at once?
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: See, this is why I'm approaching this from a everything
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: in moderation standpoint. And I get that. And all the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: years I spent in news definitely jaded me. There was
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: a bit of a gallon was humor in most of
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the newsrooms I worked in, just because working in news
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: you see such horrible destruction. Like, honestly, one of the
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: best stories I ever reported on was a sixteen year
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: old girl who was decapitated in a car wreck. Right
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: what that was one of the stories that I was
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: able to put together that ended up being the most
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: beautiful story I'd ever done. But the point was we
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: had to go through the trauma and the horribleness to
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: get to the story that was uplifting towards the end,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: and I know that seems weird, but we don't have
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: time to get into that. But yeah, yeah, I'll share
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: there with the outfare, all right. So the point being
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: that I think there's a large part of me that's
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: jade when it comes to the news, and I'm not
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: emotionally affected by the news. I see things a goo. Okay,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: that's fine. That may be true, that may not be true.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: I'll put that in a bucket. Okay. I'll give some
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: people grace for being idiots, you know, I'll give some
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: people mercy them Like, you know, I approach it from that,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and I'm grounded in my faith as I view things,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: and that way, I don't go too far one with
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the other, but I feel like I have to know
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: everything about everything is certainly for the show, well yeah,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, but in general, I just like to.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: Be in the know.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: I'm so curious. This has become a passion. As you
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: said before, I've never really followed it. Now I want
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: to know because I feel like that we've been told
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: so many falsehoods that now when I discover the truth,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: I'm like, I want to know even more so, Well,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: you know, we send things to each other all the time.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: It drives me crazy when we do stuff all the time.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Only the conspiracy theory.
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: Okay, okay, say this what drives me crazy about you?
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: You don't believe any conspiracy theory.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I never Watergate was a conspiracy. I only believe in
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: stupid conspiracies. That's the only thing I believe in, a
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: stupid conspiracies, because I think that whatever, if you have
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: two possible explanations for a human event. And Lewis completely
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: disagrees with this, but I think if you have two
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: possible explanations for a human event, whichever requires the least
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: amount of intelligence is most likely what happens, and conspiracies
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: take too much intelligence to pull off.
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: He's rolling his eyes at us all the time.
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: Now now we know I'm still sending them to you.
• 6:01
