• 3:01
  Speaker 4: So that was really cool.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: So how far out did people book you?
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, if we're talking about how far I
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: have a few bookings for weddings next year, and you

  Speaker 4: So yeah, I have a few weddings out there.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I would love to like book up every month with
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: at least two weddings. That would be an amazing extra cash.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: But you know, one can dream, and that's what I'm
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: gonna shoot for.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: So yesterday you took Julina to like a Mommy and
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Me dance party.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Yes, it was so cool.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: It was like there was no school yesterday for many schools.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: So it was a DJ dance party for kids from
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: the young is a baby all the way to twelve
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: you could or older could come, but you know, more
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: for the little kids and it was fun. They gave
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the kids closed sticks and they were dancing to all
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the K Pop songs and Taylor Swift and all that,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: and Jelina had had an absolute blast.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: She really did. But like, the craziest thing happened.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: To me, as always, of course, the craziest thing happened
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: to me, and I mean you got to witness it. Yeah,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: but in true Lalla fashion, that's what I always say.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: In true Lalla fashion, this lady comes up to me.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I was not talking to anybody. I had recently just
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: got there, and this lady walks up to me with
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: a baby in her arms, and she's like, can you
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: watch my baby? And I'm like, what, can you watched
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: my baby? And then she rambled something. I don't know
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: what she said.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: She said, I got to move my car.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, so I heard car. So she had to do
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: something with her car. And she ran out of the
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: building and she said, oh, my toddler too, and she
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: pointed to her little girl, who must have been like
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: two or three and maybe two and I think I
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: don't know, she was probably like three or three. Okay,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I didn't really pay attention to that one. That sounds bad,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: but so the baby wasn't even walking yet hard, you know,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: could crawl a little bit.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: So how old is that?
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Five?
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: My four months? I don't know, so let's say five
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: months old? Four months old? Yeah, she hands me her
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: baby and the baby's looking at me like who the
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: hell are you? So I look at Seana, I'm like,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: what just happens?
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: What just happened?
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: And I really thought you knew her?
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: No, yeah, Sean does think, oh, you know, that's probably
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: her friend. No, it was a complete stranger.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: And then I thought like, maybe because you were friends
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: with the DJ. So I'm like, oh, maybe like he
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: knew her or uh, his family was there also, so
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, maybe it's like his family's friend or something.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: No, they didn't know her.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: They didn't know her because I went, you know, the
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: DJ came to say hi as I'm holding this baby,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: and he looked at the baby like huh. And I'm like,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know who. I don't know whose baby this
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: is and he's like what. So I tell him the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: story and he he's known me for like almost twenty
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: years now, so he said, only you, Lah, only you.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: This always happens to you, whether it be animals, babies.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: People they just trust you. You just have something about
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you that they just trust you. And I'm like, it's true.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: And he's witnessed it in the past, with people handing
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: me their baby or animals.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Coming up to me. So he was laughing. He's like,
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: only you only.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: It was the weirdest thing.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: And I don't have kids, but if I did, I
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: would never walk up to some stranger and be like, hey,
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: can you watch my kid? Yeah, while I go move
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: my car, like what, I don't know, especially this day
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: and age. I could see maybe like fifty years ago,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: but this day and age, with all the crime that's happening,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: with all.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: The sex trafficking being I didn't even.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Think about that. Yeah, I was gonna say being abducted.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: You can't trust anyone really, and she's very trusting.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean listen, I'm all for community parenting.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: I want to be there for moms.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: It's hard to be mom, especially when you're by yourself,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: you know me, I'm always out with Juliana by myself,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: and there has been times where I was like, I
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: wish I could go up to that stranger and say,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: can you help me out here? When Julian was a
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: baby and screaming her head off, and I was I
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: needed someone just to hold her for me so I
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: could situate myself. I wish that I could trust someone
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: or or feel comfortable going up to someone saying, hey,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: I need help, I need help. And so part of
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: me is like happy and grateful that this woman didn't
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: even look at me for longer than two seconds and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: knew that woman's I'm a good that's a good person
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I could trust with my baby.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: Like that makes me happy.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: That makes me feel good, and I'm happy that I
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: was able to help her in a situation like that.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: But then the other part of me is like, girl,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: like I hope that you're not doing this just anyone
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: out there, because you can put your babies at risk,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: you know, absolutely, So it's just like a double edged
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: sword there. And I mean she came back ten minutes later.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: The baby was good, didn't cry, just kept staring at
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: me like I have a picture. I had to take
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: a picture because the baby was looking at me with
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: this stank face on. I'm like, hm, who the hell
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: are you? Like that was the voice that kept doing
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the way she was looking at me. He was so cute,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: but I loved she was so cute. I I was like, hmm,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I made a joke last night because my friend was
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: commenting about what happened. He's like, that's that's really weird,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Like why would she leave it with you? You know,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I guess she thought you were trustworthy, I said, I am,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I said, but I mean, I'm gonna be honest.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: There's a little part of me that I.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Hope, like maybe she won't come back and I could
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: bring home a new baby to my husband, you know,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: like baby, I adopted a baby. I was just making
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: a joke and he's like maybe, and he wrote back, well,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: but h he wrote, well maybe she made their own
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: choice then.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: Because that's creepy. But yeah, you know, she.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Came back and the baby was fine, and I'm happy
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: that I helped.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: But it was very odd at first. I was I
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: was kind of like in shock.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I didn't know. I didn't even hear what she said,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: because all I heard was can you watch my baby?
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: And I'm like, and she.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Handed you the baby?
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And my brain's like going through who is this?
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Do I know this person?
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: Did they know me?
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Do all?
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: Like what?
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: That's all my brain was doing.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: I wasn't even listening to her reason why, and then
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I watched her run now and I'm like, what the
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: hell just happened? But yeah, that's me true la la fashion.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: All the random, weird stuff always happens, and at least
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: this is a positive one. I got to hold the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: baby for ten minutes, which made me really happy.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: So today on the show, we are going to play
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: an interview that we did last week with Ken Dabreau.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: He was such a cool guy, very interesting.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: I loved him. I absolutely freaking loved him.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I was like so jealous that he wasn't my grandpa
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: because he he just.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: You know me, I'm so emotional.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I'm very emotional person, and like a few times he
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: had me in tears with just his advice, with just
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: his love that he kind of it wasn't fake, Like
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: even though he didn't know us, I felt like loved
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: by him. I don't know how to explain it, or
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: like cared, you know, he cared you know.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he was somebody. You know. We did it over
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: zoom and you know it was on video, and we
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: just felt like we knew each other.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I know, it was like I felt a connection to him,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, I want him to be my grandpa.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: And how old is he now?
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: He's ninety four, ninety five?
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Geez, that's crazy. And he looks amazing. Guys, We're gonna,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: you know, I have to post some pictures of him.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: He looks great for his age. He's doing so well
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: for his age. He's full of so much knowledge, so
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: much advice, and I think that anyone would benefit from
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: listening to him. He has an audiobook, he has a
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: book he wrote. You can follow on Instagram, but we'll
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: jump in the interview now. He's just an amazing person
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: and I'm glad that we got to meet him on
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the show.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Today we have mister Ken Debrow on the show, so
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: excited to interview him. Me and him have a background
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: in broadcasting and radio, except he I think has a
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: much longer career and better career than I ever had.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: So how long did you do voiceover work for radio broadcasting?
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Odds? Well, I've done voiceover work. You got to remember
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: how old I am, and I've been doing this since
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: I'm twenty years old. So if I'm ninety five years old,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: there's four and a half years shy of one hundred.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: I've been doing it for over sixty five years.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Wow, my god, and you have done over fifteen million ears.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Done, they tell me. I don't know if it's accurate,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: but everyone says it. I'm been the most active local
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: commercial broadcaster automotive broadcaster in particular, in the history of radio.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's yazy. So yes, his voice has been heard
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: in over fifty million OUs.
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: That's crazy. That is crazy.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: I know. Well, if you live, if you live this long, kid,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: a lot of things are crazy.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: That's I mean, that's a huge number, and that's something
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: to be extremely proud of. I mean, I know you are,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: but that's I don't know if there's anyone else out
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: there like that. You know, that's crazy.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: Well, you know what, good girls, you know what. I
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: think the motivation has been the sense of accomplishment. You
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: got people spending money on that medium, and when you're
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: in cities like New York and Philadelphia and Los Angeles,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: these guys are spending thirty forty fifty sixty seventy eighty
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars a month on radio to have Ken Davlo's
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: voice on radio for their car dealership. Well, girls, that's
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: a million dollars a year.
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: That's crazy.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: So you know, when you're spending a million dollars a year,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: it's not a question of me getting fifteen percent of
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: a million dollars because money becomes secondary after a while,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: but becomes primary is am I getting the job done?
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: So obviously haven't had accounts. And by the way, girls,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: I've had accounts for as many as twenty and thirty years. Wow.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: And with car dealers, Ashanna and Laila. With car dealers,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: you know, if something don't work, they stop it immediately. Yeah.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: So obviously I've always made sure that every word I
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: ever said in the air was truth, that whatever I
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: represented them having, they had at the price I said,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: and there was no big up sells. Yeah. So obviously
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: after twenty five or thirty years, there was believability because
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: when people went there, they found exactly what I said
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: they were going to find.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: So then that built trust behind your voice.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: And maybe that's the word I'm missing. Trust is the word.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: They trusted me. I agree. I don't want to use
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: that word because it sounds too pregoceous, But there was
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: believability and money, and I guess you're right. They trusted
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: me and trusted what they heard.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, And you also grew up with a stutter
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: and how has that shaped your career? How did you
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: stutter on overcoming that and doing fifteen million ads?
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: And here we go again. It's the power, you know
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: what it is, Sean and Layla. It's the power of
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: the will. How bad do you want to do something?
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, how important is it to you? How high
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: a priority do you give it? Well, I had a
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: stutter and I like to talk a lot, so I
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: wasn't getting much out kid. So when I was about
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: twelve or thirteen, and I did have a good voice,
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: but I was stuttering, and I think that's because my
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: brain was working too damn fast. I went to speech
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: therapy for about a year and it went away completely.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: And that's how I developed this voice and this ability
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: to speak with this kind of phraseology and this kind
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: of interpretation and Patton, that's.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: Truly amazing and that shows our listeners too, you know,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: just you should never have a roadblock in front of you.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: If there is a roadblock, find a way around it.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: You you can find a way around it. And that's
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: what we love to well.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: You know, Sean and Laylah, here's the story. The way
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: around it was this the I used to keep doing
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: what you're doing and do it better. Yeah, And the
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: fact is there's one word I want to bring up,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: and it's a word that comes into our life every
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: day and we find ourselves involved with this word every day. Opportunity.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: So I had an opportunity. I was going to take
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: advantage of that opportunity. The only way that could happen
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: was that if I had the power of will and
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: made the commitment to take advantage of whatever opportunity. And
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: you think about this, Sean and Laila, every day, how
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: many opportunities do you have just from eating lunch or
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: an opportunity to do whatever you're going to do.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I agree, you're right, and people don't view it that
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: way sometimes.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Then you see that is there? You go, kid, that
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: is absolutely correct. They don't use the word or see
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: it in those terms. And you know why I think
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: that is, Guys. I think that's because most people when
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: they hear the word or think the word, or use
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: the word or interpret the word opportunity, they think of
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: it only as what is their opportunity, what's going to
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: bring them joy, what's going to bring them pleasure? What
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: do they want to do, what feeling do they want
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: to have? So the point is when it comes to opportunity,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: you can't just think of yourself. And that's been the key.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: After I'd done all that for about thirty or forty years,
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: I realized I was being selfish. I had to think
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: the opportunity I could afford other people, the opportunity I
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: could offer any part of the world that I could,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: or any people in the world I could. So I
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: took an interest in a lot of people. And unfortunately
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: for me, they're all younger than me. But I got
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: a lot of good friends that because girls, all my
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: contemporaries are gone. They left me five, ten, fifteen years
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: ago kids so well, but you know something, guys, when
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: I was about fifty to fifty five, and all my
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: other kids were like, I've known Hasey here for thirty
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: five years. Well when she came into my life, she
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: was a very young girl. So and these people knew
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: I took a real interest in them. I just said,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: and their stories, And they didn't just come to me
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: for a little advice because I was twenty or thirty
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: years older than them. They knew I was really interested
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: in their situations. Because two or three weeks would pass
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: and I would say, how are you doing with blah
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: blah blah blah. They said, oh, you remembered. I remembered.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: I've been thinking about it. So all of a sudden,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: these same people that are now now in their sixties
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: and seventies, my twenty year old kids now they're still
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: all with me. So thank god, at ninety five years
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: of age, my phone still rings five, ten, fifteen times
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: a day. And it's my good friends and my younger
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: friends of thirty or forty years that makes life worthwhile.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, that's important. Important to have a circle of
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: peers and support of love, of respect, and that makes
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: life worth living.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Yes, long absolutely absolutely guys.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: Yep, So you've made the the steamless transition from traditional
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: radio and voiceovers to being the grandpa he rap on
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: social media.
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you, I have to I have
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: to give a Casey credit for that because with me,
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: I kept, you know, I kept saying, you know, the
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: funny part was Shane and La La when I was
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: hearing rappers doing their rap, which I didn't mind. Everybody
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: has a right to do whatever they want to do.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: It's not a question of what I want to do.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: What I want to do is write for me. If
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: somebody else wants to do it, that's fine. But if
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: somebody else wants to do something different, that's also fine.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Who am I to tell them what to do? But
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: my problem was, guys, I couldn't understand the damn word
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: they were saying. And I'm trying to tell you. It's
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: like they're speaking a different language to me. So I
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: finally and Casey heard me. This is a number years ago.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: She heard me bitching about it and griping about it
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: all those years. So we created this character a number
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: of years ago. Case and she said, what if you
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: want to change and do something about a kid? So
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: that's when we created Grandpapa rat Oh gotta be what
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: twenty years ago? Case twenty thirty years ago? Thirty years ago?
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: The point was, we created this character and at that time,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: I was a competitive bodybuilder girl. So I was already
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: in my late fifties early sixties, and fortunately for me,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: still had a was still lifting weights and had a
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: pretty muscular, symmetrical physique. So I had this custom outfit
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: made that showed all my muscles and all that nonsense,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: and I became Grandpapa rat. So Frany Casey said, why
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: don't we bring him back? So I said, I'm ninety four,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: ninety five years of age. What the hell are you
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: talking about? So we brought and with this one, I'm
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: telling you something, girls, we brought Grandpapa Rap back. And
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: it was just Casey with our cell phoned filming me
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: and my condo, dressed up with a hat like Grandpapa Rap.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: I think we got a million. We've got a million.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Gosh, that's amazing.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, So that's when we decided, you know, that's when
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Casey also said, you know, Ken, even though I wrote
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: a book and all that sort of things, She said,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: you're being a little selfish. You should really shit. I said, well,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: I don't want to share Grandpapa Raps. So what we
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: decide to do is what we're doing right now with
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: you here. I'm a ninety five year old man. Fortunately
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: for me, even though the body is ninety five years old, girls,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: my brain is still good and my voice sounds like
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: it did fifty years ago. So I'm very lucky there.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: I didn't know that was going to happen, by the way,
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: because if you're in radio, you know a lot of
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: people retire from voice work at about fifty five or
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: sixty when they lose the power in their voice. Well,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: I haven't lost an ounce of power, so I'm still,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: believe it or not. At ninety five years old, I'm
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: still doing radio commercials for card dealders.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: Good for you, Good for you.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: You do it from home. You don't have to go anywhere.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: And you know something, when I do, I can do
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: them right here, but I also do them from a
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: studio if I have to. But I'm still doing them
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: for four or five card dealers around the country. And
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: now I'm doing this video with my philosophy on life
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: because so many people have asked me about it. I figure, well,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: now it's time for me to give back, and that's
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: exactly what I'm trying to do.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, that's good.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: I think this new generation we need that. There's not
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: you know, there's a lack of that that experience, the knowledge,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: the old ways. The mindset has changed so much and
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: it's sad. So I think we need that from someone
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: who's lived through a lot and been through a lot
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: and knows a lot like you.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Well, you know something, girls, that's true. But at the
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: same time, at the same time, even if I go
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: back sixty seventy years and talk about the good old days,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: and these were the days. There weren't a lot of
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: things wrong with those days too, things that never have
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: been perfect for the human race. That's who we are.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Look at our history. Yes, with all the opportunities we have,
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: with all the knowledge we acquire, we just can't get
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: our act together. Well, it's not just a question of
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: this generation. It was my generation also, But one thing
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: we had to have when I was born at You've
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: got to remember, I was born at the start of
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: the Great Depression in nineteen thirty one. So in those
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: days you had to worry about your next meal. So
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: if you didn't have a work ethic, you didn't eat.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: So I think that's the only difference in this generation.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: There's so much going on with our technology and so
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: much abundance of everything that people have sort of forgotten
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: about the work ethic. And that doesn't mean there's not
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: a lot of people that's still don't work. By the
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: tens of thousands, by the millions, they do. But with us,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: it wasn't a want, it was a need. We needed
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: it and if we didn't have it, we were not
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: going to live during the thirties and forties. Now the
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: only thing missing I think is maybe that ethic. The
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: things are so good, particularly girls in our country. For
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: the abundance is amazing because people don't know this, guys,
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: but we're two and a half to three percent of
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: the population of our planet. That's all. We're three hundred
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: and forty million people and there are over seven billion,
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: eight hundred and fifty million people on Earth, so we're
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: only two and a half to three and a half
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: three percent, but we are twenty five percent of the
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: gross international product, so we can really indulge ourselves in stuff,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: in things, in materials. Do you follow me?
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: And I think we sort of take that for granted,
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: And I think we shouldn't take anything for granted, just
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: that simple Yeah, not even our next breath, kid, because
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: if we don't have your next breath five minutes later,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: you're dead. So the idea is, even when you're breathing
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: all these years and just something you do so naturally
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: and you have to do it every second, you really
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: take it for granted. Don't take it for granted.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, one hundred percent, that's very it's important and that
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: you're right. I agree with that's what the generation lacks
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: is it's kind of they haven't had it that hard,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: the entitlement and the workoutic definitely.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: But.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, these are lessons that they can learn from people
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: like you and here and just hopefully open their eyes
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: to how lucky and blessed we are.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, if you have any Q and A for me,
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: if anything else you want to know, just ask me
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: and I'll tell you to the best of my ability.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Well, why don't you tell us about your book. It's
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: called Age My Ass.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, we have to really discuss first the interpretation
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: of the use of those three words age my Ass.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: As I got older, all of a sudden, I had
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: a fear when you hit about thirty five to forty. Girls,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, when you're twenty five, you know,
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: you're not worried about your moretality. You think you're gonna
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: live forever for God's sake, there's so many things to do,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: so many things to learn. You're gonna get married, you're
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: gonna have kids, you're gonna get a job, you're gonna
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: look forward to advance yourself in that job. So you're
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: not then all of a sudden, you turn forty to fifty,
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: and you're aware, You're at least aware of your mortality.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: Now the business is become aware of your mortality. The
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: other word you don't want is fear. You can't fear
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: your mortality or you will try to escape it for
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: the rest of your life. And in trying to escape
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: your mortality, you will live under a veil of stress
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: and anxiety. So the mere fact that I was able
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: to overcome that between about forty and sixty sixty five seventy,
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: I went through it, but I got over it, as
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: you can see right now at ninety five. And the
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: fact is that's why I wrote the book Age by Ass.
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: So Age b Ass was simply me saying, well, if
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: I can, can I really make Can I really make
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: the second half of my life better? Not just as good, ass,
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: but better than the first half. And I said to myself,
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: yes I can. Well, most people don't do that. They
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: don't even want to admit their age, because I think
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: age is a negative. Age is not a negative. Take
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: a look, guys, ninety five ages are positive. Do you agree?
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: I agree, I agree, you don't look ninety five.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: That's why I wrote the book Age My Ass, because
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: now I've realized that if you really play it right.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: And by the way, I didn't write the book I
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: think Casey until I was eighty five, eighty six, eighty
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: seven years old, yep. And everyone was always telling me
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: to write a book girls about my life because I've
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: had such an interesting life, and I said, come on,
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to brag on myself. But then when
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: they said, right about your philosophy on life and how
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: you live the second half of your life, then I
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: knew I had something to contribute because I was now
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: living proof that it could be done. This isn't some
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: forty five or fifty year old professor on aging telling
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: you how to live the rest of your life. This
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: is a guy who has done Itah. I mean, I'm
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: only about twelve thirty hundred days shy of one hundred.
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: So the fact is that's why I wrote Age in
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: my assd about eight ten years ago, just so I
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: could somehow put down and let people know between forty
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: and sixty as they go through that transitional generation. I
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: wanted them to know. And I say it in one
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: of my videos, you live five generations if you're fortunate,
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: and I think most people today, not my generation. When
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: I was young, I think the average male age was
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: sixty eight and women were seventy two. Now it's up
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: to about seventy seven for men and eighty two for women.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: I said, but there's no reason that people alive today
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: shouldn't live one hundred good years. Well, the most important
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: generation being that there's twenty years to a generation, and
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: one hundred years is five generations. The most important generation
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: is that middle generation, the one between forty and sixty
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: leading into the second half of their life. That's why
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: I wrote the book Age My Ass and the purpose
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: the age of my ass is Age my Ass. I
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: have a second, better half of life, kid. And guess
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: what here we go with the word I was talking
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: to you about before, have an opportunity. So life is
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: an opportunity, and after forty to fifty, you have the
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: opportunity to make the second half of your life better
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: than the first. I mean, ask you, guys a question,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: why would I say that? Why do you think I
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: would say that?
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: I feel I mean for the second half to be
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: better than the first is that's the whole point of living.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: To me, anyway, you learned and you want I want
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: to get the most out of life. I want to
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: be happier than I've ever been before. I want, you know,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: like you said, I don't want to be chasing. Oh
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: the end is coming soon, in the end, and then
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: you don't really live life when you're constantly thinking that.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: But I don't know.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: It's that Sean or Layla speaking.
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: It's me Lauren, La la, Laala listening to you.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: Good honey, You're absolutely right, absolutely right. The thing you meant,
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: the word word you used, the most important word, was learning.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: Why do you think the first forty years your life
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: were of course they were exciting. Of course there was curiosity.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Of course you were experimenting. Of course you had passion
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: for life, you had youth, but you were learning, you
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: were learning to make sure. And now the second half
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: of your life, by the time you're forty to sixty,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: that's when you should become mature and finally learn what
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: you were discovering and searching for and learn about it
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: and become knowledgeable of it. And therefore the second half
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: of your life, because of those particular conditions, can be
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: better than the first half. That's all I see it.
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: I agree, I agree, I agree. Well, it's very important.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: Now are you going to write a second book at
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: one hundred?
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: You know something that people have suggested it, but you
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: know something, Think about it. Girls. What's important to me now? Well,
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: money's important, but it's not as important as it was
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: when I had fifty sixty years to live and I
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: was developing my business. Unfortunately for me, I had a
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: very good business. We were number one of what we
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: did in the country as far as radio was concerned,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: so obviously made a good amount of money. And even
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: though money was important, I think people become obsessed by money,
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: and all of a sudden they got several million dollars
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: and instead of chasing life and the meaning of life,
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: they're still chasing money because they're obsessed with it. I
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: realized I had to get rid of that obsession, and
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: I finally realized that two things were a hell a
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: lot more important than money. Time and people. The people
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: in your life that you care for, the care for
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: you that you've known for a while, and the time
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: you have left. Well, let's face the kids. I ain't
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: got much side. In fact, I love to tell the
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: story my doctor said to me when he was adding me.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: He said, boy, again, it's amazing your organic system is like,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: you know, my gut. He said, it's like a younger
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: man and blah blah blah, And I was very pleased
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: to hear that. He said, you know, you could live
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: to be a hundred. My answer was, you mean I've
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: lived ninety five percent of my life? So yeah, well
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: that's it I had. And guess what, girls, So what
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: if I were to leave this world right now as
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: I'm talking to you, and I have a smile on
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: my face, kids, because I've had a marvelous life. Remember,
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: we're born to do one thing. We're born to live
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: our lives then pass away. That's how it works, kid,
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: And that's how it's worked for centuries and millenniums of time, okay,
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: thousands of years. So that's the way it's going to work.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: And we've seen so many people. Come on, Lailah, Come on, Sean,
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: how many people that you know? In fact, my producer
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: for thirty years, I think Adam was. Casey was sixty
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: six years old for thirty years, since he was thirty
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: three years old. Thirty four years old, died of cancer.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: And look at all the other diseases you can pass
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: away from between forty fifty and sixty and here I
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: am at ninety five. No matter what comes along, I
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: am so appreciative of everything I've had, and I can
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: look back on my life and fortunately I had the
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: greatest lady in the world. Gave my heart and soul
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: to her. We had sixty three years together.
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: And hopefully case she'll send a picture of her. She
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: was a beauty so naturally. I met her when I
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: was thirty and she was forty. By the way, she
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: was ten years older than me. Now can you imagine that,
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: and at that age a man marrying a woman for
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: being engaged to a woman that was ten years older
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: than himself. But age didn't mean nothing to me, as
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: you can see right now. What important. What was important
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: was the person I was involved with. So naturally physiologically
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: and visually and sexually I was at so she looked
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: so damn good. All I wanted to do was make
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: love to her. Yeah, I mean, it's some of the girls.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: It's natural. This is people don't want to talk about it,
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: but every man and every woman goes through that stage
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: of their life. Now, there's nothing wrong with that. That's natural.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: That is nature at worked. That's the way I see it.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: But what I really found that Millie was after being
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: with the most beautiful lady in the world. And you'll
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: see her picture, and I'm telling you she was classified
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: by many people as no one ever had a face
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: like hers. It was absolutely gorgeous. And then when I
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: saw the body and it was as good as the face,
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: I said, I said, where the hell do you go
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: from here? Kid? So exactly, So we spent sixty three
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: years together. Guys, and I never had any blood children, okay,
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: but her son was eight years old, then eight nine
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: years old when I met her. And now I got
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: a son and he's not my blood son, but he's
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: my real son, and my son he's seventy six years old,
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: I got to see. So the point is, I've got
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: a real I've had a real rewarding life. So to
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: get back to what I was talking about five minutes ago,
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: you are born to live your life, and after you
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: lived it, pass on. The key kids is live it well.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Follow your own reality, follow your own identity. Know who
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: you are, have all the influencers around you that you
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: want to influence you. But no matter how much, no
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: matter what's going on around you, no matter how well
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: you think of anything else. If you don't agree with it,
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: if you can't identify with it, don't have it influence
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: you to the point where it changes your mind, your identity,
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: and your reality. Know who you are. Only if you
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: know who you are and have your real identity can
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: you really know who you are and live authentically through
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: that person. And I've been able to do that so
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: for ninety five years. That's how I've lived my life.
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: Guys, hy as was really written and geared toward men.
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: Why don't you tell the girls? What do you think
• 38:27
  Speaker 5: a midlife man's number one mistake is?
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: The man's number one mistake is the first thousand mistakes
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: he makes between forty and sat Mee, the hell can
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: I tell you? You know? The point is I think
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: that because I'm telling you girls, I was no different
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: and what you're hearing right now and all that you've
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: been here and all this time, I'm an average Joe.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: I really am. It was just my will power and
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: my determination to get the most out of my life.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: Now when you girls do the same, get the most
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: out of your life. Make sure you got your values
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: in place, and build on those values, because just imagine
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: every day you live is one day less you have
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: to live. So if you have one day left to live,
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: make the next day better than the previous. There makes sense.
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're making me emotional.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: All right, guys. You know we've done girls, which I
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: think is important. And this was Casey's idea the audiobook
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: because you do it in two and three minute segments,
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: and let's face it, during that period of time forty
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: to sixty thirty five, forty to sixty sixty five, there's
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: one hundred to one hundred and fifty different facets that
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: you can go through, different conditions in life that you
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: question yourself on, and you may have self doubts about
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: you follow me, So I cover all those in a
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: period of two to three minutes. So the fact is
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: we case It came up with the ideas. She said, well,
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: you know something, they can buy your book, and they
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: probably will buy your book if they if they believe
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: in your philosophy can but wouldn't it be great if
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: they could have you on their iPhone or however else
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: they could be delivered and have at least play one
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: of your audios, which would be one of my videos really,
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: but only the audio part of it, and it would
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: be two and a half minutes long, and maybe that
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: would give them a boost and it would have that
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: whip them. So we have an audio book.
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: That's amazing, that's awesome.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the point is here, here's how we did it.
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: Remember I told you about money not be important. It's
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: important only to the point that we pay our bills.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: If you have a lifestyle, girls, Leila Sean, if you
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: have a lifestyle, let me put it to you this way.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Let's say you have a very very good lifestyme and
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: you got everything you need in your life, and it
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: costs as much as one hundred, two hundred and fifty
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars, and let's assume it was one hundred fifty
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars. You had two cars, and you had a home,
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: and you had a vacation home, and you really lived
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: a good life. And you could do that all on
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to two hundred thousand
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: dollars a year. And that's what assuming million a million dollars
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: a year. Sean. Now, let me ask you what's more important,
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: the first two hundred thousand or the second eight hundred thousand.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: Now you think about it, yeah, makes sense. Yeah, because
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: when you think about it, kids, all that eight hundred
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars is is black numbers on white paper. You
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: can only spend so much money. Yep. So that's why
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: time and people became so important to me as I
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: got older, because I had less time and the people
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: in that time became more important in my life.
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: Yes, that's so true.
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: Can you tell our listeners what your website is where
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: they could purchase your audio book and your actual book.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: That would be two minutes with the dot com.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: Awesome.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: If they go to two minutes with demand dot com,
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: they'll see all about me and here all about me kid.
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: Thank you so much for coming on the show.
