  Speaker 3: there just on time or having to find parking like
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: I made it but now I've got a park or
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: whatever it is.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Wonder if us radio people have this time thing in
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: our head, because if we're running late, it's noticeable. Like
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: when I got in radio in nineteen eighty eight, I
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: was so nervous about being late because I knew if
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I was late, you wouldn't hear me on the radio,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: so I couldn't lie and say, oh, I wasn't late.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Somebody's got to play that Michael Jackson song, you know.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So I just never wanted to be late.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: And I don't know what about you, Like you're the
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: same way, Like you have an incredible work ethic, You're
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: always at this, You're always at the same spot.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I try every day at the same time. Like you
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: and me? What's up with us? Are we heard?
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I think so. I think. I think radio like
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: definitely got into our brains because it is all about timing.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: We're all about timing, timing out the song, the you know.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: The commercials to play, then this song has to play then.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: So we're super super aware. I'm just somebody who can't, like,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: for my well being, I can't run late, even if
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: people are wonderful and forgiving and understanding, which they usually are. Right,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: I'm the first one to say, hey, I'm running, and
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: I will tell you eight minutes late, nine minutes late,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: five minutes you know how a lot of people I'm
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: running five minutes late, and that means an hour. Yeah, no,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: I will say exactly precisely, I'm twelve minutes late. I'm
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: so sorry or whatever it is, but I can't handle it.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Here's my final question, So, if the average is seven
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: minutes late, you start feeling stressed. When do you start
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: feeling stressed when you're like twenty minutes early.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Yes, when I'm arriving just on time and I haven't
• 3:13

• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Sometimes you've got a park I need to be early.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I plan for all the things going wrong, like that's
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: what I plan for normally, plan on traffic that wasn't expected,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: something going on with my car. I don't know why
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: I always buffer for extra things happening hit us.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Up at four four, three, six three.
