- 0:29Speaker 2: because ESPN has not learned anything and they tried to
- 0:32Speaker 2: race bait the coach of Notre Dame. But his response,

- 0:40Speaker 2: can't tell you how.
- 0:40Speaker 1: Much I love this.
- 0:41Speaker 2: We'll talk about that, the LA Fires update. In many
- 0:46Speaker 2: surprising angles on this, it hasn't gotten a whole lot better,
- 0:49Speaker 2: but some revelations that are coming out of that are
- 0:51Speaker 2: exactly what we would hope for, people speaking out and
- 0:56Speaker 2: demanding change, and that's beautiful. And we're also gonna talk
- 0:59Speaker 2: about We're going to wrap up thing today in a

- 1:04Speaker 1: What is Quitter's Day?
- 1:04Speaker 2: You may ask, Well, Apparently it's the day when most
- 1:06Speaker 2: people quit their New Year's resolutions, and I canna tell
- 1:08Speaker 2: you why you need to stay the hell away from
- 1:10Speaker 2: those people.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Well, not out, not everybody, just the.
- 1:14Speaker 2: People who love to tell you about how they quit
- 1:16Speaker 2: their New Year's resolutions. Anyway, whatever, we'll get to it.

- 1:28Speaker 2: and subscribing to the audio podcast wherever you get those,
- 1:32Speaker 2: whatever platform you prefer. All right, let's talk about it.
- 1:35Speaker 2: Then let's do this.
- 1:36Speaker 1: Let's kick it off with college football.
- 1:40Speaker 2: I don't know why there's so much controversy about the
- 1:42Speaker 2: college football playoffs.
- 1:43Speaker 1: I love it.
- 1:44Speaker 2: What like I don't want more football in my life,
- 1:47Speaker 2: of course I do, and Notre Dame. It's going to
- 1:50Speaker 2: the national championship game. No tre dumb as they defeated
- 1:53Speaker 2: Penn State last night. Turned out to be a great game.
- 1:55Speaker 2: I don't know what the controversy is. People complaining about
- 1:57Speaker 2: lack of competition and it wound up like this forty
- 2:00Speaker 2: one yard of ten snapping hold are good?
- 2:04Speaker 1: Good chickas not a dam has long on the Orange ball,
- 2:11Speaker 1: and Marcus.
- 2:11Speaker 3: Framing is taking now two championship games.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Yes, he most certainly is. I don't have a dog
- 2:18Speaker 1: in this fight. I just like to watch football, so
- 2:20Speaker 1: it's been fun for me to watch the entire thing.
- 2:22Speaker 1: I love it.
- 2:23Speaker 2: They're gonna take on either Ohio State's University buck Guys
- 2:29Speaker 2: or Texas Longhorns. That's if you're interested. By the way,
- 2:32Speaker 2: That game is tonight about seven thirty ish on the
- 2:35Speaker 2: Four Letter Network, which we're about to mention here in
- 2:37Speaker 2: a moment. Sean McDonogh just mentioned Marcus Freeman there for
- 2:43Speaker 2: a second, and they made a big deal about him
- 2:44Speaker 2: because he is the coach of Notre Dame. Great coach,
- 2:46Speaker 2: great game, been very successful. Well, of course they're gonna
- 2:50Speaker 2: talk to him, and they've tried this, by the way,
- 2:52Speaker 2: in media all week long as they've talked to him.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Because the way it worked.
- 2:57Speaker 1: Out was.
- 3:00Speaker 2: Franklin, I think his name is the coach of Penn
- 3:02Speaker 2: State or Marcus Freeman. This guy, as it turns out,
- 3:05Speaker 2: one of them. They're both two black coaches. One of
- 3:08Speaker 2: them is going to go to the National Championship Game.
- 3:10Speaker 2: It'll be the first time he black coach has gone
- 3:12Speaker 2: to the national championship game in college football. ESPN will
- 3:16Speaker 2: not let it go, and they had tried again over
- 3:20Speaker 2: a week now to try to make this the biggest story,
- 3:23Speaker 2: including even postgame at the Orange Bowl last night. Now
- 3:27Speaker 2: here's the question from ESPN. A couple of things to
- 3:29Speaker 2: listen to on this, but you gotta listen to Marcus Freeman,
- 3:31Speaker 2: coach of Notre Dame his response. I cannot tell you
- 3:34Speaker 2: how much I love this guy's response.
- 3:36Speaker 1: It's like it's perfect.
- 3:39Speaker 2: But here's the race baiting fail from ESPN last night,
- 3:42Speaker 2: the four Letter networks.
- 3:43Speaker 4: You are the first black head coach to go to
- 3:46Speaker 4: a national championship game in college football. Just hearing that
- 3:52Speaker 4: response alone, how much does this mean to you?
- 3:56Speaker 3: You know.
- 3:58Speaker 1: I've said this before.
- 4:01Speaker 3: I don't ever want to take attention away from the team.
- 4:05Speaker 3: It is an honor and I hope all coaches minorities, black, Asian, white,
- 4:12Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. Great people continue to get opportunities to
- 4:15Speaker 3: lead young men like this. But this ain't about me.
- 4:19Speaker 3: This is about us, and we're going to celebrate what
- 4:22Speaker 3: we've done because it's something specially.
- 4:25Speaker 2: Is there a perfect answer from a coach, any sports
- 4:29Speaker 2: personality to a question like that, Yes there is, and
- 4:33Speaker 2: that's what it was. God, I can't even, guys, I
- 4:35Speaker 2: can't even begin to explain to you how much I
- 4:37Speaker 2: love that because he made it about the players, he deflected,
- 4:40Speaker 2: didn't buy into it, didn't fall into it. And did
- 4:43Speaker 2: you hear that beginning part of the ESPN reporter there?
- 4:46Speaker 2: Just judging by that response, Eh, people care so much
- 4:50Speaker 2: about this. There was no response from the crowd. They
- 4:53Speaker 2: made the exact same noise that they did from the beginning,
- 4:56Speaker 2: and when you're in the stadium you can hardly hear
- 4:58Speaker 2: what they're saying over the loudspeakers. Anyway, there was no
- 5:01Speaker 2: big response. They're trying to pretend that you or I,
- 5:04Speaker 2: or the sports fans or Notre Dame fans or college
- 5:06Speaker 2: football or anybody cares about what they're trying to push.
- 5:10Speaker 1: The only people who.
- 5:10Speaker 2: Give a crap about the race issue as far as
- 5:15Speaker 2: who's first, who's there it's so important breaking down barriers
- 5:20Speaker 2: is them, These absolute dopes in the national news and
- 5:24Speaker 2: national sports media. Those are the only ones who care.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Let's give a little example. Let's get some of the
- 5:29Speaker 2: reaction right. Let's go directly to ESPN's x account, their
- 5:34Speaker 2: social media account. Right, let's just go and I'll just randomly,
- 5:39Speaker 2: literally just grab some of the comments under their post
- 5:42Speaker 2: of that exact same clip that you heard of Marcus
- 5:45Speaker 2: Freeman's response to that question. Very first one great answer
- 5:50Speaker 2: by Marcus Freeman. I wish ESPN would drop race baiting.
- 5:53Speaker 2: Let's celebrate Notre Dame winning blah blah. But yes, absolutely
- 5:57Speaker 2: this guy ha. Once again, only white people are bothered
- 5:59Speaker 2: anytime black or any other minorities get any praise at all.
- 6:02Speaker 1: So there's some of that. Okay, I get that. Well,
- 6:05Speaker 1: it's counter this isn't about color. Why does ESPN push this?
- 6:09Speaker 1: I get this.
- 6:09Speaker 2: Somebody else just did a picture of a big middle
- 6:12Speaker 2: finger to ESPN.
- 6:13Speaker 1: I understand this.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Love how Freeman takes your narrative and turn it into
- 6:18Speaker 2: being there to help lead young men. That's a great response.
- 6:22Speaker 2: Uh yeah, too bad. Your reporter tried to make it
- 6:24Speaker 2: about race and he wasn't having it. Thousands of comments
- 6:27Speaker 2: just like that, with some like the second one I
- 6:29Speaker 2: read there saying you know, white people hate that it's
- 6:33Speaker 2: about race. No, the vast majority of people don't want
- 6:36Speaker 2: to make it about this. And I'll ask you this,
- 6:38Speaker 2: why is it even a big deal? Why is it
- 6:40Speaker 2: a big deal?
- 6:41Speaker 1: Why?
- 6:41Speaker 2: What if we're supposed to make this the norm where
- 6:44Speaker 2: everybody has an opportunity, why every time is it always
- 6:48Speaker 2: the first woman to do this, the first black, the
- 6:50Speaker 2: first Native American to do this, the first stop making
- 6:53Speaker 2: it all about race. They tried, they failed. And the
- 6:57Speaker 2: person we have to thank for that is Marcus Freeman.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Absolute perfect response. That has good I'm a fan of his.
- 7:04Speaker 1: It's not necessarily the team.
- 7:05Speaker 2: I don't care who who wins the national championship in
- 7:08Speaker 2: college football, but god, fan of that guy, I'll tell
- 7:11Speaker 2: you tell you that much.
- 7:12Speaker 1: That's fantastic. All right, of course we're gonna give you
- 7:14Speaker 1: a nil an LAPD an LAFD update for.
- 7:17Speaker 2: The fire department out there. So there are a lot
- 7:19Speaker 2: of people in California, if you know southern Californians.
- 7:23Speaker 1: Or anybody in that area.
- 7:24Speaker 2: For years, they've always suspected that a lot of these fires,
- 7:29Speaker 2: nothing as bad as this particular one or multiple fires
- 7:32Speaker 2: what we're dealing with now are set by arsonists. Of course,
- 7:36Speaker 2: Horrible state mismanagement, horrible infrastructure, horrible corruption and incompetence.
- 7:42Speaker 1: We all know that.
- 7:43Speaker 2: Everybody has understood that by now, but a lot of
- 7:46Speaker 2: people have always suspected arson and how they begin in
- 7:48Speaker 2: the first place. But it's tough to actually confirm that
- 7:52Speaker 2: or prove that because well, the police don't want to
- 7:54Speaker 2: name that because they don't want copycat crimes, and also
- 7:57Speaker 2: a lot of them just get away with it.
- 7:59Speaker 1: Well, this was an amazing thing.
- 8:01Speaker 2: One of the other fires, and there are multiple fires
- 8:03Speaker 2: that have popped up through this thing. It was called
- 8:05Speaker 2: the Kenneth fire. Another one burned many acres. LAPD came
- 8:10Speaker 2: out and said, absolutely confirmed, this one was said intentionally
- 8:15Speaker 2: by an arsonist. Not only that, though, listen to this
- 8:18Speaker 2: cop talking to the reporter where he says the people
- 8:22Speaker 2: this is key. The people caught this arsonist and apprehended
- 8:25Speaker 2: him until the cops got there.
- 8:26Speaker 1: Here's the LAPD just yesterday. This one is about the
- 8:29Speaker 1: Kenneth fire.
- 8:31Speaker 5: What we know right now is that the incident occurred
- 8:34Speaker 5: started here and about twenty minutes three minutes later, a
- 8:38Speaker 5: suspect was detained over Woolen Hill's area by citizens.
- 8:42Speaker 6: So someone purposely set the Kenneth fire at this time,
- 8:46Speaker 6: that's what we believe. Yes, do you know how or
- 8:49Speaker 6: why they did that that I don't know. Is this
- 8:52Speaker 6: a crime scene right now?
- 8:53Speaker 1: Yes? So everything he's being lost off, it's being good.
- 8:56Speaker 5: Yes, it's being investigated as a crime.
- 8:58Speaker 2: How about that out admitting and tell them the truth
- 9:02Speaker 2: and good for them that this was set by an arsonist.
- 9:04Speaker 2: This one, this Kenneth fire, one of the many fires
- 9:07Speaker 2: that are popped out confirmed by the cops. That's one
- 9:10Speaker 2: of their public information officers. And not only that, did
- 9:12Speaker 2: you catch that in there too? Apprehended and detained by
- 9:16Speaker 2: people in the neighborhood who caught him and saw them
- 9:18Speaker 2: doing this and held them until the cops could get there.
- 9:22Speaker 2: It just all goes back to what you and I
- 9:25Speaker 2: have been talking about on this thing, what a lot
- 9:27Speaker 2: of people have been talking about. People are pushing back
- 9:31Speaker 2: physically in that case to stop an arsenists.
- 9:33Speaker 1: Absolutely.
- 9:34Speaker 2: I've seen a lot of cases, a lot of video
- 9:36Speaker 2: online from independent reporters and people stopping looters as well,
- 9:41Speaker 2: and also demanding that there's change. People have had enough
- 9:46Speaker 2: and if there's any positive to come out of this thing,
- 9:48Speaker 2: that's exactly what it is. People are demanding that this
- 9:52Speaker 2: kind of incompetence is stopped, and they.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Want the truth.
- 9:58Speaker 2: Speaking of that, here's another thing that popped up yesterday.
- 10:01Speaker 2: I actually thought this was a setup. Did you see
- 10:04Speaker 2: the lady who chased down Gavin Newsom in LA a citizen?
- 10:08Speaker 2: And when it first started, I actually thought it was
- 10:10Speaker 2: a setup. I thought it was a setup to make
- 10:12Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom look, you know, like the good guy. It's
- 10:15Speaker 2: this lady and you'll hear it here running going governor, governor,
- 10:20Speaker 2: and I'm goodness going, oh god, because there's a news
- 10:22Speaker 2: crew who caught this, caught her audio video right there,
- 10:25Speaker 2: and I thought.
- 10:25Speaker 1: It was gonna be him. I'm doing the best for you.
- 10:28Speaker 1: Oh no, it wasn't.
- 10:29Speaker 2: That made him look like the absolute boob that he is.
- 10:33Speaker 2: This lady, this LA resident chasing down Gavin Newsom, weaves
- 10:38Speaker 2: through his security, gets right in his face and asks
- 10:41Speaker 2: him what he's doing about the situation. This is really amazing. Again,
- 10:46Speaker 2: I thought it was a setup. I really did.
- 10:48Speaker 1: But it's not. And listen to his response, Governor, you
- 10:51Speaker 1: got a second.
- 10:53Speaker 2: Governor, Governor, I live here.
- 10:56Speaker 5: Governor.
- 10:57Speaker 1: That was my daughter's school.
- 10:58Speaker 2: Governor.
- 10:59Speaker 5: Please tell me whe you're gonna I'm not going to hurt.
- 11:00Speaker 3: On my promise.
- 11:01Speaker 7: I'm literally talking to the president right now to specifically
- 11:05Speaker 7: answer the question of what we can do for you
- 11:07Speaker 7: and your daughter?
- 11:08Speaker 1: Can I hear it?
- 11:09Speaker 6: Can I hear your call?
- 11:10Speaker 5: Because I don't believe it?
- 11:12Speaker 7: Uh, I'm sorry, there's literally I've tried five times. That's
- 11:16Speaker 7: why I'm walking around.
- 11:17Speaker 4: To make them.
- 11:18Speaker 8: A president not taking your call.
- 11:20Speaker 7: Because it's not going through.
- 11:23Speaker 1: Why.
- 11:24Speaker 2: I know it's a terrible situation, but what a question?
- 11:26Speaker 2: Why is the president not taking your call? And there's
- 11:30Speaker 2: you probably saw the video too, there's there's newsome. This
- 11:32Speaker 2: is the scene the east shows her.
- 11:35Speaker 1: I'm showing you my phone now and you can see
- 11:37Speaker 1: that it's not going through.
- 11:39Speaker 2: There's nothing on his screen. I think he's completely faking
- 11:41Speaker 2: the entire thing. But how about her question? First of all,
- 11:44Speaker 2: she says, I don't believe you. The second thing is
- 11:47Speaker 2: why isn't the president taking your call?
- 11:51Speaker 1: I don't know if going.
- 11:52Speaker 2: Forward we want people chasing down governors and leaders and whatnot,
- 11:56Speaker 2: But that kind of demand, that kind of action that
- 12:00Speaker 2: lady wanted an answer out of that clown is exactly
- 12:04Speaker 2: where we're going with this. And like I said, if
- 12:06Speaker 2: there's any light to come up from the LA situation
- 12:09Speaker 2: in any community. Like we said yesterday, anywhere anywhere in
- 12:12Speaker 2: the country, you got to look to see if incompetence
- 12:15Speaker 2: has crept into your community and demand that it stops.
- 12:20Speaker 2: Speaking of the demand, how about this follow Adam Carolla, comedian,
- 12:24Speaker 2: big podcaster. This guy's been great through this entire thing
- 12:27Speaker 2: because he's for years, years Adam Carolla has gone on
- 12:30Speaker 2: the air and on his podcast and demanded a change
- 12:34Speaker 2: to this kind of incompetence. And he warned for years.
- 12:36Speaker 2: He's one of the guys. Joe Rogan's another one that
- 12:38Speaker 2: warned for years that this kind of thing is coming.
- 12:40Speaker 2: I saw that he posted yesterday that he signed the petition.
- 12:46Speaker 2: In fact, he said, demand the immediate resignation of Mayor
- 12:49Speaker 2: Karen bass I signed, and so should you. And there
- 12:52Speaker 2: it is right there, the link to change dot org
- 12:55Speaker 2: a petition to get rid of LA's incompetent Marri Karen
- 12:58Speaker 2: bass I. Think you got to be or an LA
- 13:02Speaker 2: resident and they'll weed you out for your zip code
- 13:03Speaker 2: or whatever to be able to sign that petition. But
- 13:06Speaker 2: and well, the change dot org petition get her out
- 13:10Speaker 2: of office? Probably not, but it's a show of force.
- 13:12Speaker 2: It's a show of force that people you, me, everybody.
- 13:14Speaker 2: Regular people have had enough. It's stop this incompetence and
- 13:19Speaker 2: the DEI and the lies that have led to this
- 13:25Speaker 2: kind of thing.
- 13:26Speaker 1: They've had the they didn't put the infrastructure in place
- 13:29Speaker 1: that they passed in twenty fourteen to collect the water
- 13:32Speaker 1: in La.
- 13:32Speaker 2: They just didn't do it. They didn't do anything about it.
- 13:37Speaker 2: And look at the situation they're in now. It's a
- 13:39Speaker 2: wake up call, I guess, but it's up to all
- 13:41Speaker 2: of us to follow through on it. That petition was amazing,
- 13:43Speaker 2: that lady was amazing, and then of course you got
- 13:46Speaker 2: people online, the uh who I love, the internet saluths,
- 13:50Speaker 2: the social media saluths who go back and they look
- 13:52Speaker 2: and when the information came out about the three LGBTQ whatever,
- 13:57Speaker 2: they are leaders of the La Fire Department, the three ladies,
- 14:01Speaker 2: the lesbians. Not saying there's anything wrong with being a lesbian,
- 14:05Speaker 2: but it's pretty interesting that three of them are the
- 14:07Speaker 2: leaders of that entire department. That's not that representative. I'm sorry,
- 14:10Speaker 2: it's just not. It's another telltale sign of DEI hiring.
- 14:14Speaker 2: But everybody looked into their background and it's unbelievable. This
- 14:17Speaker 2: was actually a produced video by the city of Los Angeles.
- 14:22Speaker 2: I guess to try to get the citizens to understand
- 14:25Speaker 2: their leadership a little bit better.
- 14:27Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 14:28Speaker 2: But the assistant LAFD fire chief is Christine Larson. There's
- 14:36Speaker 2: a video of her answering questions and I get I
- 14:38Speaker 2: guess it's I guess it's to dispel all the myths
- 14:42Speaker 2: about an all female leadership staff or something like this.
- 14:45Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 14:45Speaker 2: So they took on a bunch of that, you know,
- 14:48Speaker 2: and one of the questions was why is it important
- 14:52Speaker 2: to have representative leadership? And she said something like because
- 14:56Speaker 2: when we come to rescue you and you know that
- 14:58Speaker 2: someone can understand your situation better, you know it matters,
- 15:01Speaker 2: and blah blah blah blah blah.
- 15:03Speaker 1: There's also this little nugget in there.
- 15:05Speaker 2: Look this up if you have a chance on your
- 15:07Speaker 2: own time or over the weekend or early next week
- 15:09Speaker 2: or whatever it is, and find this. They actually produced this,
- 15:14Speaker 2: and they kept it in and they didn't edit it out.
- 15:16Speaker 2: She's answering the question and the pushback of a female
- 15:21Speaker 2: assistant fire chief not being strong enough or you know,
- 15:24Speaker 2: to handle you know, like specifically, they asked, what if
- 15:27Speaker 2: you can't carry my husband out of a fire, Like,
- 15:30Speaker 2: what if you can't do that? Listen to how she
- 15:34Speaker 2: answers this question.
- 15:35Speaker 1: It's unbelieving. I can't.
- 15:37Speaker 2: I can't believe they kept this in there, and of
- 15:40Speaker 2: course now it's viral. It's basically blaming the victim. Here,
- 15:46Speaker 2: it is the lead in is and this is what
- 15:48Speaker 2: she answers. What if you can't carry my large husband?
- 15:52Speaker 2: What if just physically you can't. You can't take care
- 15:54Speaker 2: of that situation. You want to talk about blaming the victim.
- 15:59Speaker 8: Is she strong enough to do this? Or you couldn't
- 16:01Speaker 8: carry my husband out of a fire, which my response is,
- 16:04Speaker 8: he got himself in the wrong place.
- 16:05Speaker 2: If I have to carry him out of a fire,
- 16:10Speaker 2: he got himself in the wrong place. If I have
- 16:14Speaker 2: to carry him out of a fire, what.
- 16:18Speaker 1: I don't do this a lot. I have to hear
- 16:20Speaker 1: this again. If she strong enough to do this?
- 16:22Speaker 8: Or you couldn't carry my husband out of a fire,
- 16:25Speaker 8: which my response is, he got himself in the wrong place.
- 16:27Speaker 8: If I have to carr him out of a fire.
- 16:33Speaker 2: They produced that, they kept it in and it's out there.
- 16:37Speaker 2: I can't it's hard to believe that's even real. Well,
- 16:41Speaker 2: if I can't carry you out of fire. It's your fault.
- 16:44Speaker 2: You got yourself into a bad situation.
- 16:47Speaker 1: What if you know what that makes me believe?
- 16:53Speaker 2: I think if I am not right of her preferred
- 16:57Speaker 2: you know, I'm a middle aged white guy. I think
- 17:00Speaker 2: she's not going to try that hard to pull me
- 17:02Speaker 2: out of a window in a fire. To be completely
- 17:05Speaker 2: honest with you, and I wouldn't have thought that until
- 17:07Speaker 2: I saw that video or heard it twice. I wouldn't
- 17:10Speaker 2: have thought that before. I really wouldn't have. But hearing
- 17:12Speaker 2: her attitude, and if you see the video portion of it,
- 17:15Speaker 2: and I understand that we're audio, you got to see
- 17:17Speaker 2: her face when she does it. It's one of those
- 17:19Speaker 2: well raised eyebrows, kind of almost rolling of the eyes.
- 17:23Speaker 2: To My response is if I can't pull up, if
- 17:26Speaker 2: I have to pull him one, he gun himself into
- 17:27Speaker 2: what bad place? I don't think that person and if
- 17:31Speaker 2: that's indicative of what's going on in that department, I
- 17:34Speaker 2: don't think they're really too interested in saving my life.
- 17:36Speaker 1: To be honest with you, it's kind of a bold statement,
- 17:38Speaker 1: but I'll stick by it. I don't think they like me.
- 17:40Speaker 1: I just don't.
- 17:41Speaker 2: I don't think I think that's very, very rare in
- 17:45Speaker 2: that field because first responders are generally just incredible.
- 17:48Speaker 1: I don't think she likes me. I don't really care.
- 17:51Speaker 1: That's the kind of thing and the boldness, the cohones
- 17:54Speaker 1: it takes to produce that and keep it out there.
- 17:57Speaker 2: Whoa, changes are coming, not just change dot org, but
- 18:02Speaker 2: people find that kind of stuff.
- 18:05Speaker 1: They demand that it gets out of the way.
- 18:06Speaker 2: All right, we're almost into the weekend, but before we
- 18:09Speaker 2: do that, we got to get through this. It's Quitter's Day,
- 18:13Speaker 2: and I will tell you beware of the quitter's Day.
- 18:17Speaker 1: What's Quitter's Day?
- 18:18Speaker 2: Well, apparently, and I'm getting this off of Forbes, it's
- 18:21Speaker 2: the day when most people who made New Year's resolutions,
- 18:23Speaker 2: not you, but most people quit their New Year's resolutions.
- 18:27Speaker 1: And we talked about this a little while ago. I
- 18:29Speaker 1: was talking about this.
- 18:29Speaker 2: Being careful this time of the year and making a
- 18:31Speaker 2: big change, you know, because people tend to quit at
- 18:33Speaker 2: the same time. So somehow social science put together today
- 18:38Speaker 2: is the day when most people quit, which is fine,
- 18:41Speaker 2: it's understandable, right, But there's a difference. Now, if you're
- 18:44Speaker 2: just going along and you're making a great change in life, congratulations,
- 18:47Speaker 2: keep going. And not everybody is like this, but we
- 18:50Speaker 2: all know there are a lot of people who, when
- 18:53Speaker 2: they quit a resolution, love to tell you why, how,
- 18:58Speaker 2: and all about how they're quitting. Nothing people like more
- 19:03Speaker 2: than making a resolution. Some people than telling you when
- 19:07Speaker 2: they quit it. And that's not everybody, but those people.
- 19:11Speaker 2: I'm telling you right now, get away from them. You
- 19:14Speaker 2: got plans with them this weekend, cancel they want to
- 19:17Speaker 2: call you up, text you, make plans with you, to
- 19:19Speaker 2: tell you about how they're quitting. They want to drag
- 19:21Speaker 2: you down, Ditch them, ghost them. Get away from those people.
- 19:26Speaker 2: Because that's not everybody, but the.
- 19:27Speaker 1: Ones that do that.
- 19:28Speaker 2: I call them the legion of the miserable, and they
- 19:31Speaker 2: want to bring you down with them. You're rolling along fine,
- 19:34Speaker 2: you're making some great progress, slowly, but surely you're doing great.
- 19:36Speaker 2: You don't need that, you don't need that in your life.
- 19:39Speaker 2: Let them have quitter's day. You're not a quitter. Don't
- 19:43Speaker 2: let them bring you down, all right, that's our first takeaway.
