Wicked Radio 11-17: Trump Care?, MA Hires Trans Man For Women, & Nat'l Unfriend Day! · Wicked Radio with Bill Adams

0:03
Speaker 1: Good morning, friends, Welcome to Monday. And let me tell you,
0:06
Speaker 1: if you thought last week's stories were bizarre, you haven't
0:09
Speaker 1: seen anything yet. I mean, can you find this story
0:12
Speaker 1: more bizarre than the state of Massachusetts hiring a man
0:16
Speaker 1: pretending to be a woman to represent opportunities for women?
0:21
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Also, big news actually from two
0:24
Speaker 1: big bombshells from the President yesterday on the tarmac upon
0:28
Speaker 1: Beach International Airport. First of all, this about healthcare and
0:32
Speaker 1: the second one about the Epstein files. Is this the
0:35
Speaker 1: biggest troll job of all time? I don't know if
0:39
Speaker 1: it's that, but it's a big reversal some Thanksgiving news
0:41
Speaker 1: about the cost of Thanksgiving. They're trying to panic you about.
0:44
Speaker 1: It's okay, you've gotta read beyond the headline to get
0:46
Speaker 1: the real story. And I just learned today on social
0:49
Speaker 1: media this is unfriend Day, like it's been a thing.
0:53
Speaker 1: Have I missed this? I guess Kimmel came up with
0:55
Speaker 1: this years ago. We'll talk about that as well. What
0:57
Speaker 1: that's all about. It's all good. All of this stuff
0:59
Speaker 1: is in but it's all good stuff. You're turning it
1:02
Speaker 1: into something good except finding me in the live stream
1:06
Speaker 1: and then the podcast all platforms, audio podcasts two, wherever
1:09
Speaker 1: you like to get those. Let's get right to it
1:11
Speaker 1: and not waste any more of your very very valuable time.
1:14
Speaker 1: On the tarmac of Palm Beach International Airport yesterday, in
1:18
Speaker 1: front of the very noisy, sorry about that, Air Force
1:21
Speaker 1: one engines, President Trump walked down the steps and he
1:25
Speaker 1: greeted some reporters by the way side. Note, he has
1:30
Speaker 1: been more accessible, like him or not, he has been
1:33
Speaker 1: more accessible to the press, to the media, which has
1:37
Speaker 1: not been too kind to him, as we all know,
1:39
Speaker 1: than any president in history. I mean, honestly, if you
1:42
Speaker 1: count all of these little impromptu get togethers, sitting or
1:46
Speaker 1: standing before a microphone or a camera somewhere, if he
1:49
Speaker 1: counted them all his press conferences, he's done more than
1:52
Speaker 1: anybody in history. Here's another one, and this is a
1:55
Speaker 1: big one. He is going to work something out, he
2:00
Speaker 1: thinks with Democrats on the healthcare issue. What he said
2:05
Speaker 1: was interesting. Here's that it's a little long. It's important
2:07
Speaker 1: negotiating with rowmakers.
2:09
Speaker 2: And I've had personal talks with some Democrats. I can't
2:12
Speaker 2: tell you who they are. I just don't want to
2:14
Speaker 2: do that. It's not fair to them about paying large
2:19
Speaker 2: amounts of dollars back to the people.
2:22
Speaker 1: You know, this was my idea.
2:24
Speaker 2: It came up during that, you know, oftentimes and time
2:28
Speaker 2: under times of stress like the shutdown, to come up
2:31
Speaker 2: with great ideas that you wouldn't have thought up before.
2:35
Speaker 2: The insurance companies are making a fortune. Their stock is
2:38
Speaker 2: up over one thousand percent over a short period of time.
2:43
Speaker 1: The first thing was it was my idea, which it
2:46
Speaker 1: actually actually was. But the first thing I thought of
2:50
Speaker 1: when he said that was he's gonna call this trump care,
2:53
Speaker 1: isn't he He's gonna label this and he's gonna call
2:58
Speaker 1: it trump care. I just know he is, just like
3:00
Speaker 1: because we already had Obamacare. But you know what, if
3:03
Speaker 1: that annoys you, so what, I don't care. I don't
3:07
Speaker 1: care if you call it FDR care. I don't care
3:09
Speaker 1: if you call it any kind of care. I don't care.
3:13
Speaker 1: But it has to be fixed. So let the guy
3:17
Speaker 1: call it whatever he wants. As long as we all benefit,
3:20
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what the name is. But he's exactly
3:23
Speaker 1: right about that. What I like most about that is
3:25
Speaker 1: exactly what he said about the shutdown. You and I
3:28
Speaker 1: worked this out a couple of weeks ago, we said, Okay,
3:30
Speaker 1: this sucks. It lasted for what forty one forty three days?
3:33
Speaker 1: But in all that chaos, there's opportunity. Take that as
3:36
Speaker 1: an opportunity to rework the healthcare system. It is possible.
3:40
Speaker 1: I love that he said that in times of stress, Okay,
3:43
Speaker 1: it sucks, but use it to make something better. And
3:46
Speaker 1: he just may. I wonder if there's a you know
3:50
Speaker 1: how you go on poly market and you can bet
3:52
Speaker 1: on anything. Now, I wonder if there's a line on
3:54
Speaker 1: whether or not he's gonna call whatever comes out of
3:56
Speaker 1: this trump Care. I actually hope he does, because I
4:00
Speaker 1: think it would be hilarious. But again, it doesn't matter
4:03
Speaker 1: what they call it. It doesn't matter. The system is
4:06
Speaker 1: incredibly broken. Everybody knows that what he said about the
4:10
Speaker 1: insurance companies right there is exactly right. And again I
4:12
Speaker 1: think I said this on Thursday. If you want to
4:14
Speaker 1: find some kind of a unifying issue, some kind of
4:17
Speaker 1: a unifying topic, we've all looked for it. Right. Oh,
4:20
Speaker 1: we have to unify the nation. Both sides have it
4:22
Speaker 1: to get together. Well, this should be the one. If
4:25
Speaker 1: people are honest with you, if these politicians or media
4:28
Speaker 1: talking heads are honest with you, this should be the
4:31
Speaker 1: one that unites all of us, I mean, honestly, fixing
4:34
Speaker 1: this broken, disgusting, blood sucking healthcare system. We have come
4:40
Speaker 1: up with something that puts money in the pocket of
4:42
Speaker 1: the consumer for a change, and not these insurance companies.
4:45
Speaker 1: This should be the one, will it? I don't know,
4:46
Speaker 1: we'll see. Another interesting point to grab out of that
4:49
Speaker 1: one little clip there on the tarmac was and I'm
4:53
Speaker 1: glad he didn't mention the Democrats who he's working with,
4:56
Speaker 1: and he's right, it wouldn't be fair to them. Interesting
4:59
Speaker 1: that they see it. Now, why would you even get
5:01
Speaker 1: to the point where you've got Capitol Hill Democrats willing
5:04
Speaker 1: to work with him on that because they hear it
5:05
Speaker 1: from their constituents. They hear it, they know it, they
5:09
Speaker 1: know how pissed off people are Republican ZAM Democrats. It's
5:12
Speaker 1: another reason why this is what they should be working on.
5:15
Speaker 1: They might be able to do it. I don't know.
5:17
Speaker 1: All right, here was another interesting little tidbit, actually a
5:19
Speaker 1: big tidbit, on the tarmac of Palm Beach International Airport
5:23
Speaker 1: just last night, right before he went back up the stairs.
5:27
Speaker 1: Two Air Force one went back to Washington, DC. This
5:31
Speaker 1: whole Epstein files thing. He's gone through many phases on this.
5:37
Speaker 2: Now.
5:37
Speaker 1: I've heard a lot of people say, especially this morning,
5:41
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is the case, it would
5:42
Speaker 1: be brilliant If it is. I've heard a lot of
5:44
Speaker 1: people say, oh, he's playing this isn't for DJESS, this
5:49
Speaker 1: is five d jess. He actually got the Democrats to
5:55
Speaker 1: talk for weeks about releasing the Epstein files, only to
5:58
Speaker 1: reverse it on him and Expelo who was all the Democrats.
6:01
Speaker 1: I don't know, Okay, maybe I don't know. I don't
6:03
Speaker 1: think it's that involved. I don't know if this is
6:05
Speaker 1: four or five DJSS my own personal opinion. I'm not
6:08
Speaker 1: good at predictions, but I actually do think this is
6:10
Speaker 1: going to bite the Democrats right in the ass. But regardless,
6:14
Speaker 1: this is what he was saying before he went back
6:16
Speaker 1: on the plane and wrote something on Truth Social Nast
6:19
Speaker 1: night about those Epstein files. But this is a report.
6:22
Speaker 2: Fake news like you. You're a terrible reporter, and fake
6:25
Speaker 2: news like you. They just keep bringing that up to
6:28
Speaker 2: deflect from the tremendous success of the Trump administration. So
6:32
Speaker 2: a guy like Massey, his pull numbers is showing you
6:35
Speaker 2: said six percent approval rating right now. And we call
6:39
Speaker 2: him Ran Paul Junior because he never wrote he never
6:41
Speaker 2: votes for the Republican Party.
6:43
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't know where that reporter is from, but
6:46
Speaker 1: you're a terribly reporter. Then I think he yelled at
6:48
Speaker 1: her or him for interrupting him. I don't know what
6:51
Speaker 1: it was. But anyway, throughout all that we got something
6:53
Speaker 1: very interesting. Here's the phases. He's gone through complete deny.
6:56
Speaker 1: It about the Epstein thing, obviously, and we know now
6:59
Speaker 1: if you've looked into this at all, when he found
7:01
Speaker 1: out what sleazy Jeff Epstein was all about down here
7:04
Speaker 1: in Palm Beach County, Florida, he was the one that
7:06
Speaker 1: alerted authorities to what actually was going on at the
7:09
Speaker 1: at Epstein Islands. He helped out Florida officials who wound
7:15
Speaker 1: up doing really basically nothing, but still he was the
7:17
Speaker 1: one that actually helped out the case. He's gone from
7:19
Speaker 1: complete denial and then he was just pissed off, which
7:22
Speaker 1: he hinted that a little bit in the interview. He
7:25
Speaker 1: was pissed off that that was the focus and that's
7:27
Speaker 1: all they were talking about Republicans do while they were
7:30
Speaker 1: making all this progress. And remember with Doge cleaning up
7:32
Speaker 1: things and with the tariff deals which are starting to work.
7:34
Speaker 1: So he was really mad about that, and he hinted
7:36
Speaker 1: it that a little bit. Well, then he does the interview,
7:38
Speaker 1: he goes up the stairs to Air Force one there
7:40
Speaker 1: in the air. I think he actually wrote this en
7:44
Speaker 1: route back to Washington. I think I don't know the
7:46
Speaker 1: timeline checks out, big long truth social I won't bore
7:49
Speaker 1: you with the all the details, but basically said as
7:52
Speaker 1: I said Friday night to the fake news media House,
7:56
Speaker 1: Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files because we
7:59
Speaker 1: have nothing. It's time to move on for the Democrat
8:02
Speaker 1: hopes perpetuated by the radicallef blah blah blah blah blah.
8:04
Speaker 1: And he goes on and on and on and on
8:05
Speaker 1: and on. But then he says, I don't care. All
8:09
Speaker 1: I do care about is the Republicans have back on point,
8:11
Speaker 1: which is the economy. Affordability is that a word again?
8:14
Speaker 1: Which is important? And uh, bringing inflation for the highest
8:18
Speaker 1: level in history to the lowest. So this is a
8:20
Speaker 1: big reversal and an important one. I would love to
8:24
Speaker 1: see it happen. I know everybody's got a conspiracy theory
8:26
Speaker 1: on this. I would love to see it happen too,
8:28
Speaker 1: just because that would be fascinating. What if he denied
8:31
Speaker 1: it the whole time, just to get the Democrats to
8:34
Speaker 1: hound on this for weeks on end, and then all
8:36
Speaker 1: of a sudden they release it. He comes out scott free,
8:39
Speaker 1: but there's some very prominent Democrats in there that get hosed.
8:43
Speaker 1: That would be amazing. I don't know if that's the case.
8:46
Speaker 1: I think he just honestly. I think he honestly. I
8:50
Speaker 1: think Trump gets hurt, but I know he was pissed
8:52
Speaker 1: off that that became the focus of a lot of
8:55
Speaker 1: Americans and not the economic accomplishments by the administration. I
8:59
Speaker 1: honestly think that. But good, let's get this thing out
9:02
Speaker 1: there once and for all. And I know you're sick
9:04
Speaker 1: about hearing the Epstein I am too. I can't stern
9:07
Speaker 1: even talking on hear about it, or in real life
9:10
Speaker 1: talking about the Epstein files. But this is a good thing.
9:12
Speaker 1: Take it as a good thing to clear this out
9:14
Speaker 1: once and for all, so you never have to hear
9:16
Speaker 1: about it again. Watch for this to happen, though once
9:20
Speaker 1: it gets released. He had said this before, He's seen
9:22
Speaker 1: everything in it. Once this gets released, it's so much redacted.
9:26
Speaker 1: This is going to be the spin. I'll guarantee you
9:29
Speaker 1: on this one. This will be the spin from the Democrats.
9:31
Speaker 1: Oh he edited them, So you'll have some lunatic on
9:36
Speaker 1: MSNBC saying Trump edited the Epstein files, or the idiots
9:42
Speaker 1: on the View saying that, and you'll have the Democrats
9:44
Speaker 1: in your life. You were completely teds victims buying a
9:47
Speaker 1: hook line and sacer You know that's gonna happen anyway. Whatever.
9:51
Speaker 1: Speaking of bizarre, and even though it's weird and you
9:55
Speaker 1: may be tired of this, I keep on seeing this.
9:57
Speaker 1: It's all just so fatiguing, all of this and stuff.
10:01
Speaker 1: I get it. I understand that. Take this as a
10:04
Speaker 1: good thing, and I'll explain why. Let me get to
10:05
Speaker 1: the story. The state of Massachusetts. I know it well.
10:10
Speaker 1: I was born and raised there. Remember it was about
10:12
Speaker 1: a month ago. I was telling you Massachusetts will be
10:15
Speaker 1: the last of the states to wake up to the
10:19
Speaker 1: woke nonsense, because it's just it's a different world because
10:22
Speaker 1: they they have it pretty good. You know, it's a
10:25
Speaker 1: nice state. They don't mind paying the taxes because they
10:27
Speaker 1: think they have it so good. In Massachusetts, they're gonna
10:32
Speaker 1: be the last. It'll be battleground Boston for crime. In
10:35
Speaker 1: the entire state of Massachusetts will be the last to
10:37
Speaker 1: wake up to the woke nonsense until it hits them
10:40
Speaker 1: right in the face. And it's just starting now. And
10:43
Speaker 1: here's the story. So I didn't even know that this happened.
10:46
Speaker 1: And this happens in a lot of bureaucratic states where
10:48
Speaker 1: they have all these departments and commissions where tax money
10:51
Speaker 1: goes to it and you don't even know and your
10:53
Speaker 1: money just flies out the door and you don't even
10:54
Speaker 1: know what they do. Well, apparently there has been a
10:58
Speaker 1: Massachusetts Commission on the Status of Women. I never knew
11:03
Speaker 1: about it. Maybe it's new, I don't know. Maybe I
11:05
Speaker 1: would bet you most of the people in that state
11:07
Speaker 1: didn't even know. And I'm sure every state has commissions
11:10
Speaker 1: like that. It's just, you know, waste taxpayer money. What
11:13
Speaker 1: does that do? What does the Massachusetts Commission on the
11:16
Speaker 1: Status of Women do? Well, they advise policy to improve
11:19
Speaker 1: opportunities for women. So I'm sure those are like educational opportunities,
11:24
Speaker 1: job opportunities, grants, funds, loans, you know the deal. Yeah,
11:30
Speaker 1: same typical stuff. It's a blue state. Well, guess who
11:34
Speaker 1: just got appointed to head up the Massachusetts Commission on
11:37
Speaker 1: the Status of Women? Just Sell Birds. And you're thinking,
11:41
Speaker 1: all right, well, who's that person and why do I care?
11:42
Speaker 1: And why are you talking about her right now? Well,
11:45
Speaker 1: HER's a hymn just sell Bird. You know where I'm going.
11:50
Speaker 1: Just sell Bird was born into life as Kevin Bird,
11:54
Speaker 1: a man pretending to be a woman, who now heads
11:56
Speaker 1: up and I'll repeat the name just one more time
11:58
Speaker 1: for you, the Massachusetts Commission of the Status of Women,
12:03
Speaker 1: Because I mean, think about it. Who would know better
12:06
Speaker 1: about the status and opportunities for women than a man
12:08
Speaker 1: in address? Now most of the reaction now this is
12:14
Speaker 1: taken up, this is you probably saw the story already.
12:17
Speaker 1: It's made national headlines just because it's just it's so
12:21
Speaker 1: insane and it's so bizarre and it's so out there.
12:23
Speaker 1: And mostly reactions so far is really pay attention to this.
12:26
Speaker 1: Last night and this morning is just people are just going, oh,
12:29
Speaker 1: I'm just so tired of this. And I get that,
12:32
Speaker 1: and I understand that. Here's why this is great. You
12:35
Speaker 1: should celebrate this, don't be outraged. You know, you should
12:38
Speaker 1: celebrate it. Don't get even mad at it. Take this
12:41
Speaker 1: as a win if you have common sense and you
12:45
Speaker 1: just see right through the lunacy of this. The more
12:49
Speaker 1: national headlines stuff like this gets, the more exposed it
12:52
Speaker 1: gets to more and more people, and the backlashes underway
12:55
Speaker 1: to realize that this is just insane, just absolutely so.
13:00
Speaker 1: It's a good thing. What would be bad would be
13:03
Speaker 1: this happening and nobody talking about it because it is like,
13:07
Speaker 1: this is a big trending story. This dude heading up
13:09
Speaker 1: the Women's Commission in Massachusetts. It's it's it's a big deal,
13:12
Speaker 1: like really big, and all the jokes have started already,
13:15
Speaker 1: and all the memes. What did I say? I saw
13:16
Speaker 1: this one a couple of a couple of times already.
13:18
Speaker 1: Oh does that mean? Uh? You know, prostate exams will
13:23
Speaker 1: be free for women? Now? The role up. So you
13:27
Speaker 1: have to take this as a win. I know it's infuriating,
13:30
Speaker 1: but you can't get mad. You have to look through
13:32
Speaker 1: the headline and see what's actually valuable here. Exposure, not
13:37
Speaker 1: public exposure, but information exposure for people to look through
13:40
Speaker 1: this entire thing because they are feeling the backlash. Believe me,
13:43
Speaker 1: it's probably not gonna change. I mean they're years away
13:45
Speaker 1: from waking up to that, but they will eventually, and
13:48
Speaker 1: they'll realize how insane this is. So take that. Take
13:53
Speaker 1: that just sell bird story in Massachusetts as a win.
13:56
Speaker 1: This is not so much a win. We're getting closer
13:58
Speaker 1: to Thanksgiving. It a lighter note. What do we, oh
14:01
Speaker 1: my god, like ten days away? Is it is that
14:03
Speaker 1: right end of the month. Oh my god, we're like
14:05
Speaker 1: in the red zone right now. And I don't know
14:07
Speaker 1: if you've made your Thanksgiving plans yet, whether you're hosting
14:10
Speaker 1: or going somewhere or I don't know, maybe you're just
14:13
Speaker 1: chilling out doing anything. He I love Thanksgiving. It's the great,
14:17
Speaker 1: unique American holiday, and it really is, truly, that's the
14:20
Speaker 1: holiday where we really should honestly get back to the
14:23
Speaker 1: name and give thanks for all the great things that
14:25
Speaker 1: are in our lives. It's a great mindset exercise just
14:28
Speaker 1: to be grateful for what you have instead of us
14:30
Speaker 1: bitching about it all the time. But you may have
14:33
Speaker 1: seen this. This actually did make some headlines too, in
14:36
Speaker 1: a bad kind of way. So there's a new study
14:39
Speaker 1: out there. More on that in a second that says
14:42
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving's gonna cost you nearly one thousand dollars this year.
14:47
Speaker 1: That's not good, right, that's a lot of money. Shouldn't
14:50
Speaker 1: cost a thousand dollars. I'm telling you who came up
14:52
Speaker 1: with the study first, and I guess they're a publicity
14:56
Speaker 1: arm and they got their story out to some pretty
14:58
Speaker 1: big media outlet. So far it's from something called study finds. Okay, right, Well,
15:05
Speaker 1: this is why you got to look beyond the headline
15:08
Speaker 1: and look into what they're actually doing, because they send
15:10
Speaker 1: stories out like this to panic you, and you shouldn't.
15:14
Speaker 1: You shouldn't at all because when you look at the
15:15
Speaker 1: details of what they came up with with their study,
15:19
Speaker 1: here's how they broke it down. When you read a
15:20
Speaker 1: little further. Okay, the one thousand dollars Thanksgiving involves all
15:25
Speaker 1: of these factors. This is what they came up with.
15:27
Speaker 1: Two hundred and ninety three dollars. On travel, it would
15:31
Speaker 1: be either like gas for your car, plane, tickets, hotels. Okay,
15:34
Speaker 1: so that's a big junk already. This would mean you're
15:36
Speaker 1: traveling somewhere, you know, with an extended distance to actually
15:44
Speaker 1: enjoy your Thanksgiving with somebody, or if you're just going
15:46
Speaker 1: to a location. Right, So that's almost three hundred bucks
15:49
Speaker 1: right there. One hundred and seventy five dollars on food,
15:52
Speaker 1: you'd be spending two okay, all right, so you have
15:56
Speaker 1: to travel and you buy the food, all right, one
15:58
Speaker 1: hundred ten dollars on drinks, right, I could see that
16:03
Speaker 1: if you get in cocktails or something, or eighty three
16:06
Speaker 1: bucks on decorations, huh okay, and two hundred and ninety
16:11
Speaker 1: one dollars on other random stuff. That's a lot of
16:15
Speaker 1: money for random stuff. So to come up with this study,
16:18
Speaker 1: which everybody seemed to pick up on in headlines today
16:21
Speaker 1: in travel and lifestyle and holiday news because it's because
16:25
Speaker 1: it's bad news. It's panicky, so we better publish it.
16:29
Speaker 1: In order to come up with this, this is how
16:31
Speaker 1: they broke it down. You would have to be the
16:33
Speaker 1: person that spent the money on traveling, but then when
16:35
Speaker 1: you get there, you're the person that has to spend
16:37
Speaker 1: the money on all the food for everybody. Does that
16:40
Speaker 1: sound right? Usually when you go to like a relative's house,
16:43
Speaker 1: you're not the one buying the food. You spent the
16:45
Speaker 1: money to get there. You'd also have to get there
16:47
Speaker 1: and you buy drinks for everybody. At one hundred and
16:49
Speaker 1: ten bucks, and then is my favorite part of the
16:52
Speaker 1: whole study. You get there and you're the one that
16:54
Speaker 1: has to spend eighty three dollars on the decorations what
17:00
Speaker 1: and two hundred and ninety one bucks on random expenses
17:03
Speaker 1: once you get there. This is why you can't listen
17:07
Speaker 1: to and just read headlines like this designed to panic
17:10
Speaker 1: you and bum you out, and they happen all the time. Again,
17:14
Speaker 1: I always tell you, once you see how the media
17:16
Speaker 1: sausage is made, you can unsee it. It's awful. This
17:19
Speaker 1: is designed to panic you, make you upset, and actually
17:22
Speaker 1: give you a little bit of hesitation and some doom
17:25
Speaker 1: about the Great American Holiday. It's very rare instance where
17:30
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving would cost you one thousand dollars unless you're hosting,
17:33
Speaker 1: like many, many many people in you're paying for all
17:35
Speaker 1: of it. So don't let that stop you, and don't
17:38
Speaker 1: let it bother you. Thousand bucks. The decorations thing is
17:41
Speaker 1: the one that got me. All right, one last thing
17:43
Speaker 1: today before we wrap it up. I also learned this
17:48
Speaker 1: today has a National Unfriend Day. How did I miss this?
17:52
Speaker 1: And apparently it's been going on for a while. Somebody
17:54
Speaker 1: told me Kimmel came up with this all right, Well,
17:58
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it this way. It sounds sounds like
18:00
Speaker 1: another negative thing in the headlines. What if we took
18:03
Speaker 1: this if as a positive. Maybe it is the one
18:04
Speaker 1: thing that Jimmy Kimmel gave us that's actually a positive thing.
18:07
Speaker 1: So National Unfriend Day is the seventeenth every single year.
18:13
Speaker 1: I didn't know a day. They describe it as self
18:17
Speaker 1: care to celebrate by simplifying our connections online and unfriending
18:22
Speaker 1: any and everyone that does not add to your online
18:26
Speaker 1: social networking experience. It sounds like a negative and you
18:31
Speaker 1: sound like it sounds like you'd look at this and go, oh,
18:33
Speaker 1: that's not you know, that's no fun. Look at it
18:37
Speaker 1: the other way. I think what we've learned, and I
18:39
Speaker 1: think the reason why the National unfriend Days become a thing.
18:44
Speaker 1: I think we've reached the point in social media life
18:47
Speaker 1: where you realize, you know, both online and in real life. IRL.
18:52
Speaker 1: As my kids say, it's not the most important or
18:56
Speaker 1: best thing to have too many people. I've realized this.
19:00
Speaker 1: This is one of the benefits of like getting older
19:02
Speaker 1: and getting some experience in your life. You don't need everybody.
19:07
Speaker 1: So I take this as another good thing un front,
19:09
Speaker 1: Yeah I could. You know what, Yeah, it's not important
19:13
Speaker 1: to have so many that when Facebook first came to be,
19:15
Speaker 1: like mid two thousands whatever that was, what was it,
19:17
Speaker 1: two thousand and seven, eighty six, I don't know, around there,
19:21
Speaker 1: and it was the big thing. It's like, how many
19:22
Speaker 1: friends do you have? How do you collect as many
19:24
Speaker 1: friends as possible? How many how many followers, how many friends?
19:27
Speaker 1: How many you know. I think we finally realized that that's,
19:30
Speaker 1: you know, it's not that important. And in your real
19:33
Speaker 1: personal life, what I've learned you probably have two at
19:36
Speaker 1: this point, is it's way way better to have a smaller,
19:42
Speaker 1: tighter knit circle of actual real friends that actually matter,
19:47
Speaker 1: people that would be there when you need them, and
19:48
Speaker 1: you'd be there for them if they if they need you.
19:52
Speaker 1: You know. So the people that people that online that
19:55
Speaker 1: you know, they've never reached out if you're going through
19:56
Speaker 1: a bad time, say it, are people that don't really
20:01
Speaker 1: know anything what's going on in your life, Audios, people
20:05
Speaker 1: that you probably couldn't count on. Goodbye. It's not a
20:10
Speaker 1: bad thing. So on friend Day, I'm taking it as
20:13
Speaker 1: good keep your circle tight, in your circle close, and
20:17
Speaker 1: all this other stuff in the news. By the way,
20:18
Speaker 1: even though it all seems like it's all disastrous and chaos,
20:22
Speaker 1: it's because things are getting good. There's a lot of
20:26
Speaker 1: good news in there. That's how you take it. All right,
20:28
Speaker 1: how about that for a Monday. I'm out a material.
20:30
