Fuck getting cataract. I might mean cataracts. I'm serious, like
(00:43):
the five and like on the computer, I I couldn't
tell it was at five or six. Nobody. I don't know.
I think I got cataracts. Man, I don't know what's
going on. But it's also early. But maybe maybe my
eyes are dry or something. I'm not sure, but this
is scary. It's very small though. Look look how small
that is? Very tiny, But you're glasses. I don't need glass.
(01:06):
I can read this though, Look at that. Look at
the size of this. I can read that. No problem.
That was tricky for me.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
I'm not sure it might be time for some readers.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
No, I know because that's the beginning of the end.
If I do that, If I go get readers in,
my eyes will just they'll never be strong again. Like
they'll weaken my eyes. It's like it's just gonna go
all downhill from there. Glasses, I don't think they don't
strengthen your eyes.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Right, but like they don't make them worse.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
I think they I think they do. I think you
become dependent on them. I think I don't. I don't
think your eye. I think if you wear glasses, you're
never going to go to a time unless you get
surgery where you don't wear glasses again. I feel like
once you wear the glasses, then you're you're gonna become
dependent on the glasses.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Can but can we really strengthen our eyes like at
this big age, I'm I'm afraid.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
I'm afraid if I don't need them, quite yet. Why
is it over? That's not over, you, guys. I'm I
feel like we're still growing. I'm I'm not even officially
mid forties yet. I want to hear by it, car Keys,
this is what it like, you guys.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
I knew this wasn't going to be easy.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
I mean, able to see since middle school.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
So don't feel bad, no, I just it's a little
small and I can see it fine, maybe a little
disney dehydrated. I'm always dehydrated. I'll tell you that right now. Water.
I'm constantly dehydrated. I think.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
So it's the water.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
I think it's real. I'm not taking health advice from you.
Speaker 5 (02:26):
Okay, if it's time to get glasses, it's it's just time.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
We'll give you some nice, fashionable ones.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
So you know, I think some people look good in glass.
I might look good in glasses accessorize. I'm just not. No,
I'm not doing context. No I might. I can't touch
my own eyes no, no, no, no, no no no no
oh oh no too tactile for me.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah, but like if you had to, you would, you know.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
If I had to, I would, yeah, but I don't.
I don't. So it's good. How you doing I'm not
afraid to get old. I'm afraid to get dependent on anything.
I don't want to be that guy like I don't
have my glasses.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You know, Like, honey, if you get to the point
where you need glasses, like you're not gonna make them
worse because you already need the glasses.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
She Melissa said, blink a few times and try again. Okay,
just like that, No problem, Kaylyn, She is right, Hi, Kaylin, Hi,
Jason Brown, don't try to you, don't try to age me. Okay,
I'm not ready yet. I'm not ready to be old yet. Okay,
I don't feel old. And the management around here, management Hypolina,
(03:29):
She'll been Shelby's here. She has money next hour, whip
to five hundred bucks. Yet let me check my little
tally thing every day. You think I would check it
ahead of time, and no five bucks? Five hundred bucks
in Bellahminas here. I'm surprised she could even walk in
the building. Her head so big. After her first step
radio program this weekend.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Oh shoot, I pre first ask her how it was
first radio broadcast?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, and I should say, you know, so Tobella has
been she's working for us, Has it been a.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Year yet, Oh my goodness, I don't have I don't think.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
It's been a year. She's gone from part time to
full time, full bandit fits her own office, your own
parking spot, okay, and then her own show.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
And I'm going to tell you how it works on
radio business. It's the right of a passage. But you
normally don't start. I mean I started in Dallas, which
never happens market number five never happens like that. But
I was I didn't get to say. I wasn't in
the building when the lights in the building were on
for like a or I wasn't on the radio when
the lights were onto the building for like a year.
I mean we're talking two to six a m. On
(04:29):
Sundays and I was only allowed to talk twice an hour.
Like it was. It was very whatever. And then I
had to go to I had to It was good.
I had to go to Austin and I went to Shrow.
But you know, didn't work your way back up again.
But a lot of people they don't. I mean, I
was very fortunate to start there. A lot of people started,
you know, Tuscaloosa or something, or like our boss, our
boss Albany Georgia, which looks like Albany, Georgia, but apparently
(04:49):
apparently it's pronounced if you're a local Albany. That's what
I'm told. Oh anyway, Albany nice, you know, but no, no,
not Bella, no noon on a Saturday listening, like, let's
make sure everyone has the radio on for your first show.
So good for I'm very excited. That's how we do
these days. I guess we just throw them to the
fireh just do it.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
I gotta go listen to her show.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
No, but manage my hates when I say it, I'm
forty four years old. They hate it. They're like, oh,
I hate it. I think that's old. I guess I'm
like aging myself. Like, guys, I've been here for fifteen years, Like,
what do you want me to do? Like I wasn't
twelve when I got here. I mean everyone knew that
my voice said, my voice sounded like this when I
was twenty five. It sounds like this now. So I
don't know what do you want me to I mean,
the math is the math, guys, right, and we don't
(05:33):
hide anything. Why I know that's another one.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Are we going to start now?
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Like I've never been cool. I wasn't cool when I
was twenty five. I'm not cool, and it's not like
I'm trying to be. I think some of these guys
dye their hair and they they're trying to be cool,
and that's fine if that works for you, good for you. Like,
but I've never been cool, so why would I try now?
There's just no point they're so cool? That was kind
of sending. I can tell first, I know I'm blind
(05:59):
and not cool. It's like if I say, if I
say that I'm blind and uncool, then you don't get
to say that. Well, I guess you didn't. But anyway,
whatever's funny.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Now I think you're cool. I mean that I do.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I feel like everyone in this room has a sense
of cool.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I really do. I wouldn't be friends with you guys
if you didn't.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Oh yeah, I got to keep my people like at
my level because I'm so cool.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I understand with pink lipstick on, that's as I am.
That's great.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Thank you. Look at this. This is not the text
I wanted to get. Get the readers, Fred, you won't
regret I'm not getting readers. I'm not ninety eight. When
the time comes I get. I passed my UH vision test.
I passed my vision test recently. This is my favorite
part of the vision test. I had a vision test recently.
I'm not going to tell you for what or who
or where because I don't want to. I don't want
to call this individual now. But this particular one, there
(06:48):
were several ones. It was there's there's a color blindness
test that they give you every several years. For this
thing I had to do. You don't become color blind,
Like if you're you're the color blind and you're not
the fact that they asked you for this periodically it's
sort of crazy because it's like and the guy, even
the doctor, was like, I don't know why we have
to do this, because you weren't colorblind last time. You're
not gonna be. It's not gonna happen. So then he
(07:09):
holds up like a like a big I don't know,
like a big the eye test. But he's on like
a poster board and I know now some names they
have like a you go to the dmv S, take
your head and the thing or whatever. And he's like
read this line and it's very small and he's wearing glasses.
But even and they were like around, just on one
of those little ananyard things around his next they weren't
even on and so I read it and I go, okay,
(07:31):
so you know, you just be cause he was just
looking at me, looking around and I'm reading these letters,
and I'm like, so you you just know those letters?
I guess after all these years of me saying, you know,
if I got it right? And he's like, no, I
have no idea if you stay him fast enough, I
just figured he saw him. Yeah, because I wasn't really
paying attention. He was like, can you read which line?
(07:52):
Can you read? I'm like second from the bottom. He's like, okay,
z y x Z you know, w whatever, And I'm
around and say okay, good good, Like also you memorize,
you must memorize that after all these years of being
a doctor. No, no, I don't know. Never I've disfigured
if you can stand fast enough. So next TI, I'm
gonna try it. Just be like pl g W seven
(08:13):
yeah right right, yeah exactly. Yeah, So I don't know
if I believe these I tests anyway, But speaking of
health news, it's so funny that you guys excellent dynamite
transition work this morning, because we didn't even discuss this
in our precial meeting that we were going to be
talking about health, and we're talking about health, your mental health.
This is for you, Kiki, pretty much for you only.
(08:35):
But a recent study finds it receiving frequent phone notifications,
especially from social media, can significantly impair your ability to think.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
So the research involved one hundred and eighty university students
who completed a stroop task psychological test measuring attention and
cognitive control while receiving social media notifications that they couldn't open.
So they those who believe the notifications were from their
own phones to approximately seven seconds longer to complete the
task compared to when no notifications were received. The delay
(09:06):
suggests that the mere presence of a notification can disrupt
focus and cognitive processing. Experts recommend turning off non essential
notifications and checking social media, and designed or designated times
to mitigate these mental disruptions. So, how not only the
active notifications, but the fact that you can exist with
(09:26):
like forty thousand emails on read that would drive me nuts?
What if what if Oprah emailed you, yes, twenty thousand
emails ago to tell you that she wants you to
have your own show on own, an own show on own. Yes,
and you didn't read the email. You don't even know.
I don't even know, because and she'd been waiting for
your reply, she went and hired uh uh yeah, does
(09:50):
Sherry Shepherd or something? I don't know. She want to
hire someone else? What? Yes, because you didn't respond the email.
Oh my goodness, you didn't respond. What is there something
you have? Any word you have right now that are
unread and a little bubble next to that emails? Yeah,
what's on your phone? Little bubble things?
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Eighty nine thousand and twenty four. Oh, that's where emails inbox?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Like? Why? Like? Why? Why? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (10:14):
I have one thousand and thirty drafts, so I was
I didn't finish.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Those since its incomplete.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Nows what that would I would stay up at night.
It would keep me up at night. Yes, you too,
because I go to bed. I have the opposite problem, right,
Like I'm the guy who will look at my phone
and if there's any bubble anywhere, whatever it is has
to be attended to, like it has to be attended to.
Like it's like if there's an email, I open it.
(10:42):
I'm either going to respond to the email and do
what it says, or I'm not. But if it's happening,
it's happening right now. The thing where people are like, oh,
eight emails, I'll get to those later and set it down.
I realize some people are so busy that they don't
have that they're not afforded the ability to do that.
I'm never that busy, really, so I can respond to
your email. Plus, I'm a radio personnel nothings who cares
right like, nothing nothing in there is dire. I'm not important.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
What if Oprah emails, yes, I'll see it right.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I would know because I have zero notifications on my
phone right now. Phony is an update. We're doing the update.
We're doing the update.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Oh no, that's too much, You're wild.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
We're doing update because I'm not going to look at
a little one bubble next to this all day.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Maybe this is gonna make this better. Oh no, I
have to let you guys update first, then complain.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
About it, and I figure out what I want to
do and what I don't want to accept.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
And then I decide if I'm going to update that.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
So at what point do you just say I'm just
going to reset? My email because I have all these
unread emails that I clearly don't need. Yeah, because you're
not going to respond to them because you haven't even
looked at them. So what point do you just say
I'm gonna start over and just erase email and start
email again.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
I say it every day.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
I never actually get to that point, but I think
in my head every day, like I'm going.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
To handle this.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
It's not going to handle instead of like Kiki at whatever,
and we need to just start like Kiki too whatever,
and you can have a fresh box with a new
email at yes.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
But these emails are not like just missed emails. It's
like notifications for a system that I used to be
connected to when I worked in it.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
All the more reason why just why don't you just
isn't there a way you can? You can click all
is red. There's a mess, there's a message that.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
May make me miss Oprah's email.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
But you're not gonna But then it makes a notification
go away. You're never going to go through and read
all those emails anyways. You may as well just mark
all his red.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
I keep I tell you every day, I say I'm
going to go through these, but you're not find out
what I missed.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
But you're not.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Maybe, like you know, set a goal like one hundred
a day, like got one hundred a day.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
She'll retire before.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
At least like there's progress being made. So maybe you'll
see Oprah's in the five hundred a day.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Oprah's been texting me and going, hey, I you know
I signed a huge deal with Oprah and she put
the project depends on you. It's all hanged on you
signing on.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
She's holding on to millions for me. You just have
to respond to her email if you can find it.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
I did see your TV announcements, so you did answer Oprah?
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Maybe maybe I can. You're very disturbed about the TV
announcement our achieve so have some question. I will get
to it. Remind me to get to it is why
wouldn't I do a television show in a city where
I don't live and we're not on the radio. It
makes perfect sense. Someone said one hundred and forty thousand emails.
Someone else at one hundred and twenty thousand emails unread.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I'm with you same.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Most are spam. I just don't delete him. Why delete him?
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Lead them? Why for us, So why would we change
up the routine it keeps me going, Yes.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Because I just would drive me nuts. What is in there?
What is in there that could be important that I'm
not seeing. But you know what, it's not going to
matter because I have a big announcement about something that's
about to happen in my life, in the biggest stories
of the day, And it's not going to matter because
I'm not going to need my email anymore

There's just no point they're so cool? That was kind
of sending. I can tell first, I know I'm blind
(05:59):
and not cool. It's like if I say, if I
say that I'm blind and uncool, then you don't get
to say that. Well, I guess you didn't. But anyway,
whatever's funny.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Now I think you're cool. I mean that I do.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I feel like everyone in this room has a sense
of cool.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
I really do. I wouldn't be friends with you guys
if you didn't.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
Oh yeah, I got to keep my people like at
my level because I'm so cool.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I understand with pink lipstick on, that's as I am.
That's great.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Thank you. Look at this. This is not the text
I wanted to get. Get the readers, Fred, you won't
regret I'm not getting readers. I'm not ninety eight. When
the time comes I get. I passed my UH vision test.
I passed my vision test recently. This is my favorite
part of the vision test. I had a vision test recently.
I'm not going to tell you for what or who
or where because I don't want to. I don't want
to call this individual now. But this particular one, there
(06:48):
were several ones. It was there's there's a color blindness
test that they give you every several years. For this
thing I had to do. You don't become color blind,
Like if you're you're the color blind and you're not
the fact that they asked you for this periodically it's
sort of crazy because it's like and the guy, even
the doctor, was like, I don't know why we have
to do this, because you weren't colorblind last time. You're
not gonna be. It's not gonna happen. So then he
(07:09):
holds up like a like a big I don't know,
like a big the eye test. But he's on like
a poster board and I know now some names they
have like a you go to the dmv S, take
your head and the thing or whatever. And he's like
read this line and it's very small and he's wearing glasses.
But even and they were like around, just on one
of those little ananyard things around his next they weren't
even on and so I read it and I go, okay,
(07:31):
so you know, you just be cause he was just
looking at me, looking around and I'm reading these letters,
and I'm like, so you you just know those letters?
I guess after all these years of me saying, you know,
if I got it right? And he's like, no, I
have no idea if you stay him fast enough, I
just figured he saw him. Yeah, because I wasn't really
paying attention. He was like, can you read which line?
(07:52):
Can you read? I'm like second from the bottom. He's like, okay,
z y x Z you know, w whatever, And I'm
around and say okay, good good, Like also you memorize,
you must memorize that after all these years of being
a doctor. No, no, I don't know. Never I've disfigured
if you can stand fast enough. So next TI, I'm
gonna try it. Just be like pl g W seven
(08:13):
yeah right right, yeah exactly. Yeah, So I don't know
if I believe these I tests anyway, But speaking of
health news, it's so funny that you guys excellent dynamite
transition work this morning, because we didn't even discuss this
in our precial meeting that we were going to be
talking about health, and we're talking about health, your mental health.
This is for you, Kiki, pretty much for you only.
(08:35):
But a recent study finds it receiving frequent phone notifications,
especially from social media, can significantly impair your ability to think.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
So the research involved one hundred and eighty university students
who completed a stroop task psychological test measuring attention and
cognitive control while receiving social media notifications that they couldn't open.
So they those who believe the notifications were from their
own phones to approximately seven seconds longer to complete the
task compared to when no notifications were received. The delay
(09:06):
suggests that the mere presence of a notification can disrupt
focus and cognitive processing. Experts recommend turning off non essential
notifications and checking social media, and designed or designated times
to mitigate these mental disruptions. So, how not only the
active notifications, but the fact that you can exist with
(09:26):
like forty thousand emails on read that would drive me nuts?
What if what if Oprah emailed you, yes, twenty thousand
emails ago to tell you that she wants you to
have your own show on own, an own show on own. Yes,
and you didn't read the email. You don't even know.
I don't even know, because and she'd been waiting for
your reply, she went and hired uh uh yeah, does
(09:50):
Sherry Shepherd or something? I don't know. She want to
hire someone else? What? Yes, because you didn't respond the email.
Oh my goodness, you didn't respond. What is there something
you have? Any word you have right now that are
unread and a little bubble next to that emails? Yeah,
what's on your phone? Little bubble things?
Speaker 5 (10:05):
Eighty nine thousand and twenty four. Oh, that's where emails inbox?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Like? Why? Like? Why? Why? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (10:14):
I have one thousand and thirty drafts, so I was
I didn't finish.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
Those since its incomplete.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Nows what that would I would stay up at night.
It would keep me up at night. Yes, you too,
because I go to bed. I have the opposite problem, right,
Like I'm the guy who will look at my phone
and if there's any bubble anywhere, whatever it is has
to be attended to, like it has to be attended to.
Like it's like if there's an email, I open it.
(10:42):
I'm either going to respond to the email and do
what it says, or I'm not. But if it's happening,
it's happening right now. The thing where people are like, oh,
eight emails, I'll get to those later and set it down.
I realize some people are so busy that they don't
have that they're not afforded the ability to do that.
I'm never that busy, really, so I can respond to
your email. Plus, I'm a radio personnel nothings who cares
right like, nothing nothing in there is dire. I'm not important.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
What if Oprah emails, yes, I'll see it right.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
I would know because I have zero notifications on my
phone right now. Phony is an update. We're doing the update.
We're doing the update.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Oh no, that's too much, You're wild.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
We're doing update because I'm not going to look at
a little one bubble next to this all day.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Maybe this is gonna make this better. Oh no, I
have to let you guys update first, then complain.
Speaker 5 (11:24):
About it, and I figure out what I want to
do and what I don't want to accept.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
And then I decide if I'm going to update that.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
So at what point do you just say I'm just
going to reset? My email because I have all these
unread emails that I clearly don't need. Yeah, because you're
not going to respond to them because you haven't even
looked at them. So what point do you just say
I'm gonna start over and just erase email and start
email again.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
I say it every day.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
I never actually get to that point, but I think
in my head every day, like I'm going.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
To handle this.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
It's not going to handle instead of like Kiki at whatever,
and we need to just start like Kiki too whatever,
and you can have a fresh box with a new
email at yes.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
But these emails are not like just missed emails. It's
like notifications for a system that I used to be
connected to when I worked in it.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
All the more reason why just why don't you just
isn't there a way you can? You can click all
is red. There's a mess, there's a message that.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
May make me miss Oprah's email.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
But you're not gonna But then it makes a notification
go away. You're never going to go through and read
all those emails anyways. You may as well just mark
all his red.
Speaker 5 (12:25):
I keep I tell you every day, I say I'm
going to go through these, but you're not find out
what I missed.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
But you're not.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Maybe, like you know, set a goal like one hundred
a day, like got one hundred a day.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
She'll retire before.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
At least like there's progress being made. So maybe you'll
see Oprah's in the five hundred a day.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Oprah's been texting me and going, hey, I you know
I signed a huge deal with Oprah and she put
the project depends on you. It's all hanged on you
signing on.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
That's crazy.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
She's holding on to millions for me. You just have
to respond to her email if you can find it.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
I did see your TV announcements, so you did answer Oprah?
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Maybe maybe I can. You're very disturbed about the TV
announcement our achieve so have some question. I will get
to it. Remind me to get to it is why
wouldn't I do a television show in a city where
I don't live and we're not on the radio. It
makes perfect sense. Someone said one hundred and forty thousand emails.
Someone else at one hundred and twenty thousand emails unread.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I'm with you same.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Most are spam. I just don't delete him. Why delete him?
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Lead them? Why for us, So why would we change
up the routine it keeps me going, Yes.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Because I just would drive me nuts. What is in there?
What is in there that could be important that I'm
not seeing. But you know what, it's not going to
matter because I have a big announcement about something that's
about to happen in my life, in the biggest stories
of the day, And it's not going to matter because
I'm not going to need my email anymore
