• 1:10
  Speaker 2: of Cono the height joke and bust his chops. Sorry,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: he makes fat jokes about me, So bring it all right. Thanksgiving,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: What a day yesterday. It was just a beautiful. It
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: was a beautiful day. The food was great. I saw
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: my family a very lovely day in all ways. But
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: at my brother's house he and his wife, of course,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: in the living room have their eighty five inch screen television, whatever,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: massive and what's on football, and it probably was the
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: same in your house. Football is synonymous with Thanksgiving, but
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: it hasn't. It's been a long process for a long time,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: for many reasons, to make that tie between the two.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Long standing tradition started back with college games. As a
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: matter of fact, in the eighteen seventies. Wooh, you're ready
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: for this wow ride. That's the that's eighteen seventies, right,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: that's like the old miners or something. It's a humdinger. Yeah, whoa, yeah,
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know, that's the late eighteen hundreds, right, that's
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: what you're going for. So eighteen seventies, and it was solidified.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Of course, the NFL comes aboard, and in nineteen thirty
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: four it was basically lucked in, so colleges began playing
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: and doing it on Thanksgiving for a day off. Well,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: the NFL later began its own tradition. It started with
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions, followed by the Dallas Cowboys, and this
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: created just a full day of football for a national audience.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: You know, people are eating and then you you know,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: you eat earlier, and then you've got your stretching pants
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: on and you want to sit and watch something and
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: you got a little bit of Americana there. So going
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: back to eighteen seventy six, you had the Intercollegiate Football Association.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: They started having their championships on Thanksgiving Day. Now at
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: the time, it was you know, Thanksgiving. Now we've got
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: like every single holiday off, but Thanksgiving was one of
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: the few days off from work back in the day.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: So it was completely ideal for a major sporting event
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: that needs, you know, the large crowd, the focus of
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the people. So call it just like Princeton Yale. They
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: established a popular thanks Giving Day rivalry because who doesn't
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: want to enjoy the trip to fan of their turkey
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: and watch a rivalry. So then you fast forward to
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: nineteen thirty four, you got the NFL. They adopt the
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: tradition by way of the Detroit Lions. So the Detroit Lions,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: their owner at the time, George Richards, he introduced the
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: Thanksgiving Day game. But this was just to boost ticket sales.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: They want the national audience as well because it's a
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: new team and they want to get the new team
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: off the ground. So again it's based on the same
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: principle of hey, get very few days off. People are
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: going to take Thanksgiving off. This is the time to
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: swoop in and take it. So the inaugural NFL game
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: between the Detroit Lions and the Chicago Bears, Go Bears,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: was a broadcast on the radio and was a massive success.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: You know why, radio, You're welcome. So nineteen sixty six
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: roles around. The Dallas Cowboys became the second team to
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: host a game on Thanksgiving and the tradition has continued
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: most of the year sis since and it establishes two keys,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: key franchises of the holiday. NFL expanded into to include
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: third nighttime games, making a full day of football, and
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: it just is now inseparable from the holiday. Did you
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: guys have and did you guys have the TV on?
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Were the games on? Absolutely? You have to do eight
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: things to respond with absolutely, Yeah, start with the parade,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: right yeah, and then went into the games. And it's
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: just kind of the background of the holiday. Yeah. I'm
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: not a big sports guy yea, And yet I expect
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: it and sometimes I sit down and watch a little bit,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: then I move on. Absolutely. So you have like the
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: room where that is where there's it's like the quiet
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: car on the train, you know, like if you're going
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: to be in here. You can chat a little bit,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: but make it focused on the game. And then if
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: you want to talk about other stuff, then you go
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: in the other room. And it just seems like part
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: of it. I even know that, and sure enough you
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: go back. It goes back to the eighteen seventies. Well,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: we gotta watch house have some football.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I gotta ask as a culinary expert. Oh, I'm not
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: an expert, but an enthusiast, yes, as an as a connoisseur. Yes,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: what do you feel because after the games on the
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: football after the football games, the players of the game
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: usually get like a turkey leg and they wheel out
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: like an eight legged turkey. What do you feel about?
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: What I feel is? I mean people think that I'm
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: crazy for liking turduccan. Oh, I think this is more
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: of an abomination.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, once you start adding limbs to an animal, that
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: seems But you've had a turkey leg at Disneyland. Absolutely
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: nothing better. That's like King's meal, you know, the big
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: King sitting at the end of the table and taking
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: a bite out of a turkey leg.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: That's the best part of it. It makes you feel
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: slightly barbaric, but yeah, not like regal.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I'm going to eat from the bone of the animal.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: 'tis my privilege as a human, as a biped superior
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: to all four legged bees and beyond. Yeah, I'll take
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: it alrighty stick around. More to come, Nil Sevadra and
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: the Morning Crew. Happy Black Friday to you out there
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: with your hustle, and don't forget your bustle. Love me
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: some pickle rick. You don't know the reference. I'm sorry
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: for you. I feel sad, okay if I am six
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. Neil Savedra in
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: today on Black Friday with the Morning Crew handles taking
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: the day off. He'll be back on Monday. But uh,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: I say pickle rick because pickleball is coming up now.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: I am not super familiar with pickleball. I know it exists.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: I know that people refer to it as lazy man tennis,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: all kinds of different things. Guy heard Conway do just
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: going down a long diatribe about pickleball, how it's the
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: only sport that you know, you play for like ten
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: minutes and you're just as good as anybody else who's
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: been playing for years. It's like, but he's a little
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: he's a little darker guy than I am. But uh so,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know a whole lot about it, but I
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: know that it's taken over and people love it. Girls
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: in their little outfits, guys in their little outfits whatever,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: they're all running around. Well, Carmel by the Sea has
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: become the first California city to ban pickleball, and this
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: is I guess it comes down to just the noise level.
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: It's noisy. I mean, are people do they go ah
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: when they like in tennis. It's a little like when
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: they mike up the tennis court and you've got these
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: beautiful women going uh. I'm just saying. It's just saying
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: that it's a it's a powerful guttural So I don't
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: know if that happens in pickleball. But massive growth, I
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: mean it just has been everywhere. Is it dying down
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: at all? Or is it still popular? I don't know
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: anybody know about the popularity of pickleball right now, Buehler,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: No one I know of it.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: I just I mean, if you're gonna if it's about noise,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: then if you're gonna ban pickleball, then you're gonna have
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: to ban tennis.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Well, apparently tennis is not as loud because the rock
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: the rackets are softer. Oh I thought it was the
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: grunting that we were. Well, if it's the grunting, we're
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: screwed because there's other things you're gonna have to start
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: banning then at that point, but you get this explosive growth.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: So then you've got these enthusiasts and noise weary neighbors
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: across the country saying, you know, we don't want this
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: anymore that pop pop pop because it's a plastic ball.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: So tennis, you got a racket with the tensioned string, right,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: is that what it is? Oh yeah, wow, oh boy,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: I see I could go to sleep to that. Oh yeah, yeah,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: that's a Oh well, how did they hit her with it? Okay,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know who won that point. I think we
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: all did, Sam, we all won. That's why they call
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: it love So but I guess the plastic balls and
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: that the rackets are different and they make much more noise.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: So they had this tennis court turned into a pickleball
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: court at forest Hill Park there in Carmel butt Sea,
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: which is gorgeous, I mean, stunning place, and I could
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: hear this this sound everywhere and now her outside garden,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: even through her bedroom window, she couldn't enjoy anything anymore.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Now I don't what is that now? See? Is that
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: that's tennis? Though?
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: If I was hearing that outside of my window, I
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: would be terrified.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Kind of would want to join in.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, No, that sounds more like murderous than pleasurable.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I think the curiosity would get the best of me.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I'd go, see what's going on? Old, Yeah, that's a
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: little In my neighborhood, everything is gunshots. So it's like,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: no matter what happened, someone's alved. Was that gunshot? So
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: if you heard, yeah, someone goes that. Gunshots. But as
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: much as I'm annoyed when people try and control other
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: people's joy, I guess if the tennis the sound of
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: the soft racket against a soft ball changed to a
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: hard plastic ball, then a hard racket might be enough
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: in a place like Carmel by the seat. But I'm
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: going to tell you right now, the pickle ball players
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: love that sound. When you play a game or you
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: do something and it makes a noise that becomes part
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: of your effort and engagement in the game. So I
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: guarantee pickleball players want the satisfaction that that thwack brings
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: to them when they hit that ball right. And if
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: you are having one of these, you know, tennis courts
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: that are modified or turned into and I don't know
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: what that takes. I don't know what the difference is.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Is it just a simpler way to play tennis? Is
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: it just like playing table tennis but on a court.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: I really probably should have done a little deep dive,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: right I mean, yeah, well no, but pickleball. You hear
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: it so much. I'm like, yeah, I know about pickleball,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: and then when then when I think about it, I go,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know crap about pickleball, Like, uh, it's just
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: a Heather Brooker ever picked up the paddle of the
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: old pickleball?
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: No, I went to I used to play tennis in
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: my thinner years, healthier years. But pickleball. The big difference
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: is the paddles that are used. And it's a smaller
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: court and a lower nets. It's a little easier to
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: play than tennis. Wow, you don't have to run as far.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: The net is lower, So you know, it's not a
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: real sport.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: I have ping pong for that. Yeah, well that's what
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: I'm saying. Is it just ping pong on a tennis court? Yes? Yeah,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: well where's the pickle? Oh?
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: Those are served with the cocktails on the side, right,
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: That's why that's why everybody goes.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: They go because.
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's there's so many bougie pickleball ye people, especially
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: here in La they go. It's part of the country
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: club atmosphere or whatever. They go, They have their cocktails,
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: they play a little pickleball.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: You know, Well, what happened to tennis?
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I think?
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: I think tennis is still there, but it's sort of passe.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: You know, it's not as hip as it used to be.
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: I'm saying this as someone who has no idea what
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: they're talking about.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Well, welcome to the team, happy to be here. That's
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: a prerequisite to be a part of this program. But
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: you have to act like you know what you're talking about. Okay,
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Handle taught us that. Well. So Carmel by the Sea
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: becomes the first California city to ban pickleball, and I
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: am I I don't know what side to be on.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Yay or oh?
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: I think anytime you ban something that people enjoy, that's
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: kind of a sad that's kind of a sad thing.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: Not hurting anybody.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: You know. Well, this lady says that she's sick of
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: here in the flack. Well yeah, what that outside your door?
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah you do.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: Imagine that sounds more like indoor activities.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah wow. Ohh got a hold of that one. Good
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: for her. Enjoy yourself. Oh wow. Oh and then the crowds. Wow,

  Speaker 2: during today, I don't know if I would you see
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: those lines right there. I don't know what that road is,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: but runs parallel with the five freeway and it's always
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: just lined up to get inside there. I don't know.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: No, thank you, I mean and It's not like they
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: don't have stores that are other places, Like there's an
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: old Navy in there, and there's like a Disney store.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: I don't know, it's like you google other places to
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: get that. So, I mean it's a cool experience to
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: be there.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: After webs yeah and by yeah yeah sure, why not?
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: All right? This is up your alley, miss lady. By
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: the way you think of USC. Now, my I'm a
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: Trojan by marriage, so I support USC fight on, and
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: my wife went there and did her studies for social
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: work and got her masters and everything there at USC.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: Big fan been on the campus many many times. You know,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: it's probably what one hundred thousand dollars a year for
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: the tuition and housing and all if you're at least
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: yeah doing all that stuff. Right, So if you have
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: your kid at USC and they say, hey, yeah, you know,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: I want to be a doctor, mom and dad, I do.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: I want to do that. I'm going to be studying that,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: but I'm going to minor in And they say, what, well,
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: I'm a miner. I mean I'm gonna I'm gonna do
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: the whole doctrine thing and I'm going to doctor stuff.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be an MD, and I'm going to
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: fix people, going to be a flesh mechanic, and I'm
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: going to take care of people. But I'm also going
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: to minor in what's that? And let does they say,
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: I'm good a minor in in stand up comedy house? Yeah,
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: exactly right, you leave now. So this is an interesting
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: thing and and I actually I would be totally for
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: it if my son came to me on this. I
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: think comedy is a powerful tool. I think understanding improvisation
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: is logic, it's reason, it's being in the moment, it's
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: understanding many different fields of life. But this is interesting.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: So back in the fall of twenty fifteen, the University
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: School of Dramatic Arts there at USC has a minor
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: that includes classes on you know, improvisation and magic other subjects.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: But what they're finding is people that are going into
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: professions like medicine, engineering, things that have nothing to do
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: with the arts, are taking are minoring in comedy for
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: other reasons, including confidence, things that will help develop skills
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: that they can use. There's actually, and I thought this
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: was fascinating, there is a class on medical clowning, you know,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: how to deal with people in dark places or people
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: that are in pain and this I got. You know,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Heather Brooker is in for Amy King today. She's also
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: a comedian and a writer and a performer and an actress.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Doesn't that make sense to you to have that skill
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: in your back pocket for whatever you do? Well?
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean there's so many people who their biggest
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: complaint with their doctors they have no bedside manner, you know,
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: they have no human skills. They're very robotic and very
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: perfunctory when they come in like you got this, your
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: test results, say this, and there's no like human connection, comedy,
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: improv those kinds of skills really help people connect more
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: with you. And I think if you're going into a
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: field like engineering or even in the medical field, having
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: that also as part of your arsenal can make you
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: more well rounded doctor or professional, but also just human being.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: I mean, look at Ken Jong, he kind of went
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: the opposite route. He started out as a doctor and
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: then got into comedy, you know, and now you know
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: he can do both. I guess if he wants. And
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: it's like that. Remember the Robin Williams movie.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: Remember that.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the first thing that I thought about Adams.
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, past Adams where he he was connecting with them
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: through through humor. And it's like you said, it's such
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: an important skill to have.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: It is such a.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: Overlooked I would say, skill to be able to make
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: someone laugh or smile and connect to them on a
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: human level, even if your job maybe isn't necessarily you
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: know that that connecting of a job. Like we have
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: even engineers here who I'm like, hey, how's it going,
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: how are you And they're.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Like, hi, good morning. You know like that it's not computed.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: You don't understand you. No, they're very non we love
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: our interinvieering.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but there is a disconnect there for sure in
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: some fields.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: For you know, in the human element you want to
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: I want you.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: I grew up in a family of doctors and both
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: of them have senses of humor, which is great, but
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: you laughter is one of the things that heals people
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: the most sure, But also on an individual as the doctor, Uh,
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of anxiety that comes with the job,
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: and this helps as a way to burn off the tension.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: But also for the people you're working with, the people
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: who your patients, they're probably terrified too, and finding ways
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: to be able to communicate with them on what Heather
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: was saying, on a human level, it seems like this
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: is a great way to reduce anxiety all together throughout
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: the entire medical process. I think this should be something
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: that every doctor should do.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is and that's probably and even the engineers
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: and some of these I just think comedy is humanity
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: served to you on different types of plates. That's I mean,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: that's the reality. Everything in life is about relationships, and
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: I think it's a I don't know that I want,
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: you know, my doctor to walk in the room and say, hey,
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: who's got two thumbs and doesn't have cancer and points
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: to himself. This guy sorry to have to tell you.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: You know, it's like it's not you. Yeah, it's like,
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know that I want walk gol waka because
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: I tend to yield towards doctors that don't have bedside
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: manners because they're they're for there for. Actually, I find
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: that doctors that are kind of a holes tend to
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: be very very good scientists. That doesn't mean that you
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: can't have a bedside manner and be good. I like
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: that sometimes too, but I find them to be two
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: different creatures.
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, some people are just far more cerebral, like
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: they really lean more into the science, the data, like
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: those types of careers and profession and they just they're
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: not They don't feel the need to entertain.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: They don't feel the need to connect in that way.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: They like the data and they like the scientific, you know, processes.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: But if you can find a way to soften it
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: a little bit, especially in the medical field, if you're
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: a doctor dealing with people and you're not just like
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: searcher in the labs and that sort of thing, then
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: you are making a better patient experience. You're also going
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: to get more patients because I'll tell you I'm in
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: message boards where people are all the time looking for
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: new doctors going especially women who are like, can anybody
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: recommend a gynecologist that isn't awful, but you know someone
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: that can take the time and talk with it is
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: the number one complaint people have, especially with their doctors,
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: is that their doctor doesn't.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Take the time.
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: While this is different, time is different, sure, but feel
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: like they're being heard maybe in the time that they have.
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: And that's also something that just comes along with being
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: able to relate to people and talk with people.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: It's the kind of doctor also that you're dealing with.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: I don't want somebody who's doing my colonoscopy to see
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: be like, look at how long the scarf that I
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: can pull out of there is? Oh my, But I
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: would like, you know, for someone who's maybe end of life,
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: I want someone who has a way of a humor
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: about them, because you need to have someone who makes
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: people feel comfortable with what their experience instant, because there's
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: a lot of fear around that.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, comedy has got its place. I don't want my
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: doctor during colonoscopy saying now, I want you to know
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: that it's normal if you get aroused and said no,
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: I'm fine, he said, I was talking to myself. Oh
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: my god, I don't know how many fingers am I holding. Yeah,
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: I don't need any yucks for that. But I will
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: tell you that women are different creatures, and I think
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: the connection of verbalizing things is important. Where I'm like, listen,
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: we don't need to to chit chat. Put me up
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: on the you know, the risers for the for the car,
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: and look under the hood and just tell me what
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: needs to be done. You know, most of the time,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: that's that's it all logic. My way through the rest
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: of it and say, Okay, this is what it sounds
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: like to me. But I can understand that people. I
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: also if I was in the as Sam said, you know,
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: in the hospice or something, I don't want people to
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: treat me like I'm already dead in joke with me.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: It's all right. I make a fun of those things too.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: But I just found it interesting usc students want to
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: be doctors and engineers are minoring in comedy.
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: I think that's so smart. I think that's so smart.
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: They also are looking at a backup plan. Oh yes,
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: you know, just in case.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to fall back on comedy as you know, right,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: that's that's a steady job. Yeah, yeah, why don't you
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: bring people and maybe you'll get paid? All right? Neil
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Servader of the Morning Crew today, Stick around more to
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: come KFI AM six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: Happy Friday to you. It is black Friday.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Die.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: I hope there's no fighting, no black eyes, no bruised faces.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: You remember when that was horrible for a long while.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: I don't see it as much anymore. I mean, I
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: suppose it takes place, right. Neil Savader in the Morning
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Crew with you Modified Morning Crew. Ann and I are
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: here and in for Amy King is Heather Brooker. In
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: for Kono is Sam Zia. So we're here to hang
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: out with you as you're running about, probably doing some shopping.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: I'll do some today, but it will be it'll be
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: from home base. I don't think I'm running out there
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: today anywhere. I tend to do that. In my area.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: There are mom and pop shops that's different, so I
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: like to go into those and support them as well.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: But a lot of things. If I'm going to go
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: to a shop that is in multiple places and like
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: a chain of something, I'll just grab it online or
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: something like that. Speaking of online social media, as social
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: media changed everything, and anybody says different is unattentive because
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: it just it did. It changed everything, and not always
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: for the good. We're finding more and more that they
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: are understanding the addiction that it causes, especially to young people,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: and that the algorithm is designed to get them to
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: participate and to be more active. The rewards system, and
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: then a natural rewards system in our humanity that makes
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: us pursue certain things is tied into this. And so
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: what we're seeing is around the world. You've got governments shifting.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: They're doing strict age verification requirements for social media, and
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: the United States may not be far off. And it's
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: going to be a tough thing to do because the
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: cat's already out of the bag and now we have
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: to teach young people that it's problematic. And if you
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: remember when there was talk about TikTok being banned in
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: the United States, there was some upheaval. A lot of
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: young people were like no, and then if you remember back,
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: YouTube had changed some of the algorithm and we started
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: showing up. I think one person showed up with a
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: gun to the YouTube headquarters. You know influencers that are like,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: this is how I make my money now. I know
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: many YouTubers and it's not the money maker that you
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: think you have to have something. There used to be
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: a way to make real money on YouTube, but now
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: really it's about getting people that really love your content
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: to pay extra for it or to do you know,
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: to support you in other ways and to get sponsorships.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: So it ends up being just like commercial radio or
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: anything else. But keep in mind that as this is happening,
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: you've got Australia, You've got Malaysia, they enacted under sixteen bands.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: I think that's smart. I think you have to control
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: that for young people the same way you would tobacco,
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: alcohol or anything else. I think it's actually probably more
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: damaging than those things things. I think as far as
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: body image and emotional content and connection, I think it
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: can be very very dangerous, and you have a lot
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: of young people understrain, and we have a very sad
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: rise in young people suiciding, and I use that term
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: very specifically by the way, and the power of these
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: things and the power of the persuasion of these things
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: needs to be studied and understood, so more and more
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: we're going to see this as having some sort of
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: regulation on it, which I think is necessary because the
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: assumption is it's safe and it's just connection and all
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: of these things, but it's not opening yourself. You wouldn't
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: leave your windows open at night. Yeah, I think it's
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: In Ireland, they have a new pause before You post
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: kind of PSA and it shows a young girl maybe
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: e nine, with her parents at a mall and as
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: they're going up the escalator, a man going down the
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: escalator is looks at the little girl says has a good,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: have a good game today, and they go, do you
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: know him? She goes no, and as she's walking, a
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: woman says, uh, gosh, I hope your dad picks you
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: up after the game, doesn't leave you waiting again, And
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: they're like what. It's all these things and the family
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: doesn't know what's going on, and is one of them
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: walks away from the family. They're scrolling through the little
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: girl's social media and it's like a picture of her
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: dad didn't pick me up today, or we got new jerseys,
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: or playing it and it's like how much you're telling
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: others strangers about you publicly? And I think that there's
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: way way more in people with bad intentions can put
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: together a pretty good sketch of who you are and
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: where you are in life if you do that. So
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: it's hard as a parent to know what's good or
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: bad in that arena because it's open windows to everything,
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: and it's a two way street and it's scary as hell.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: So it makes sense that we need to look at
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: that again and see what and the age that should
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: be using social media. All right, Neil Savadra and the
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: Morning Crew, We're going to do some foody Friday coming up.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about leftovers, how to use them, how to
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: make sure you don't get the turkey trots, different type
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: of turkey trots. So go nowhere. This is KFI heard
• 33:53
