  Here's your host, Alex Garrett whist All right, Well, that voice you
• 0:15
  just heard in the beginning of this song was my stepdad Vic And today on
• 0:21
  the One Leg Up feature, I just want to say my dad and I
• 0:24
  had quite a week along with my mom. We're trying to have one leg
• 0:28
  up on my health and this stomach scar and I'd like to be in Margaritaville
• 0:33
  right now, but instead it's kind of a a bandaged And what did I
• 0:37
  say? I'm bandaged and I'm better right that wound kind of opened up in
• 0:42
  my middle of my stomach, and we're trying to have one leg up on
• 0:45
  my health and we're getting there. We're getting there. But but when we
• 0:50
  were done all that chaos this morning, I said to my step dad,
• 0:54
  Hey, what songs did Jimmy Buffett sing? Because I, of course know
• 0:58
  Margaritaville. We all know margat Ritaville and maybe you're having a margarita on this
• 1:02
  three day weekend, but have you ever heard Margaritaville karaoke style? Because on
• 1:11
  the radio show I work on Radio Night Live a few years ago with hosted
• 1:17
  by Kevin McCullough and at the time Valerie Delia a big parrot head. By
• 1:22
  the way, they had a little fun with Margaritaville because it was opening up
• 1:26
  in New York City and because she loves Jimmy Buffett so much. You gotta
• 1:30
  listen to what ensued on May fourth, twenty twenty one, on AM nine
• 1:36
  to seventy The Answer and Kevin, there is a song for everything when it
• 1:40
  comes to Jimmy Buffett. Just what you said describes changes in latitudes, changes
• 1:44
  in attitudes. Let's bring people back to New York City. You're gonna quote
• 1:49
  Buffett dudes all night tonight, aren't you. Well No, yeah, as
• 1:53
  much as I possibly care gonna Look, well, let's just let's just do
• 1:57
  this. I mean, if we're gonna, if we're gonna do it,
• 1:59
  let's do it right. Let's everybody sings watching, watching the same day.
• 2:07
  I'm not very good singer, but I and then not six straight on my
• 2:20
  fresh bod swing, Smell of the Shin begin, here's the bridget Okay,
• 2:36
  all right, So that was a little fun they had a couple of years
• 2:38
  ago. It was a core memory because I was in there training my colleague
• 2:43
  and friend Nick Malone at the time, and it was it was just a
• 2:46
  great moment there when they were singing a little Jimmy Buffett in honor of Margaritaville,
• 2:51
  which of course wasn't Times Square. It's had its issues, but overall
• 2:55
  I heard someone say today, Hey, Jimmy Buffett pass away. I'd say,
• 3:01
  that did not pass away for you not to drink on a three day
• 3:05
  weekend. Okay, so maybe I have a drink for Jimmy Buffett today.
• 3:08
  And on a more serious note, we do have staying in the nine seventy
• 3:14
  vein another radio host on the station, Joan Herman, in the adapting side,
• 3:19
  and here's what you got to say about adapting on a recent interview which
• 3:23
  you can find on the Adapting with Alex Garrett feature. When you adapt,
• 3:28
  you have to release expectations, because that's the problem when you stay so stuck
• 3:32
  to the way things are supposed to be. Like I'm not supposed to not
• 3:38
  have a husband. I wasn't supposed to be a single woman. I wasn't
• 3:42
  supposed to be an orphan so to speak. Or someone wasn't supposed to have
• 3:46
  that accident. My child wasn't supposed to die. I'm not supposed to be
• 3:50
  bankrupt. We have this story that we've written for our life, and you
• 3:54
  know, it governs everything we do, and when it deviates, we're lost.
• 3:59
  That's me fall apart. But the problem is change is the one thing,
• 4:02
  It's the one constant that will always happen. You can write the best
• 4:06
  story for your life, but life has a way of knocking you down.
• 4:11
  You know, look at people that experience hurricanes. They weren't supposed to lose
• 4:14
  their home. So you have to get rid of supposed to be and you
• 4:18
  have to learn to accept what is. So that link can be found in
• 4:23
  the description below my conversation with Joan Herman as ken. Maybe i'll throw it
• 4:27
  up there the conversation with Kevin McCullough and Valdelia in twenty twenty one about Jimmy
• 4:33
  Buffett. So go enjoy some Buffett, some burgers, and some margarita in
• 4:40
  honor of Jimmy Buffett. I'm Alex Garrett. We'll talk to you soon.
