Speaker 1 (00:00):
Did you watch the Masters? Did you see what happened?
(00:02):
I heard about what happened that Rory finally got it.
He finally did.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
It eleven years since he had won all the other
three majors, he had had eleven opportunities to close out
a career Grand Slam by winning the Green jacket. Now,
it's a long time in athletics, golf you can play
much longer than you can other sports. But many believed
it was maybe never going to happen for Rory. He'd
been playing great golf earlier this year. The way it
(00:27):
happened was crazy, though, because he had a two shot
lead going into the day, double bogie the first hole,
basically gave up the lead and coughed it up right away,
battled through the day, was back and forth. He had
like four bogies, three bogeys in a double in his
eighteen holes yesterday and still somehow only shot one over par.
Had multiple shots where you're just like, what are you doing?
(00:49):
Rory shot it into the water on thirteen, you know,
had a four stroke lead on the back nine at
one point, and within three holes he blew it and
was tied in a three way tie for the lead.
But it was playing so tough yesterday. I mean everybody
was going up and down, and Justin Rose had a
great finish. He finished with an incredible round. He was
(01:12):
leading after day one, had not a great second and
third day, especially Day three was a bad day for him,
but had a great last day. Forced the playoff when
Roy missed a five foot putt to win, they have
a one shot playoff. Rory wins the playoff whole somehow
recovers from that in the moments, the scenes, the celebration,
(01:34):
he's crying on the green. I mean, everything was fantastic.
Have you seen video of him? Have you seen photos
of the moment when he wins?
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I think so, maybe still pictures, Maybe that was on
my sports app. He does look very he looks very
tired and relieved.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Can you go and can you google the photos real
quick for me and let me know when you got
like some of them, like pictures of the masters, And
I want I want a picture of him on the
green with all the fans around him, right, because those
are those are the money shots, right you find one.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Well, here's one he's holding up the trophy.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
No, no, I want one with him on the green,
like in the moment of like celebration. And I got
a good reason for this. Don't don't worry. Let's see here. Yeah,
you get you an image where you can see all
the fans behind them. You see that one thing that
you'll notice if you look very closely, there's one thing
(02:30):
all of the fans have in common at Augusta National. Now,
the first thing is they paid an awful lot of
money to get in there, Am I right. Secondly, it's
one thing you're gonna notice. There are no cell phones.
They have no phones. Every photo in video that you
see of people at Augusta National you see zero cell
phones because they are not allowed at Augusta National. And
(02:52):
it got me thinking, because nobody's there recording, nobody's trying
to get their own like influencer photo or video or
anything like that. Everybody's focused on exactly what's happening. One
of the cool things about Augusta the people who are
situated on eighteen, on the eighteenth holl they don't know
what's going on on the other parts of the course.
So they have a giant mechanical scoreboard and they updated
(03:15):
every couple of holes, and the people on eighteen are
reacting to the scores getting updated from around the course
on the last day because they don't know what's going on.
You know, any other time, you could just pull your
phone out and see exactly what everybody's doing. Heck, you
could watch the broadcast on your phone while you're sitting
there if you're trying to see what else is going
on around the course. But you can't at Augusta because
(03:37):
they have banned cell phones. Now, I'm not saying that
you should ban cell phones everywhere, But what if I
told you next time we go to Lincoln and we
go watch a Huskers game, not a night time one
where they want everybody to pull their phones out and
like do the cool light stuff. What if I told
you they said, hey, for this afternoon game, the Husker
is going to be playing Illinois. No cell phones. We're
(03:59):
going to go sell phone lists for this game Memorial Stadium.
Are you in or does that chase you away? If
we see your cell phone on you, you have been
ejected from the premises.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
So I can keep it on me. I just can't
take it out.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
You can't use it, Okay, Yeah, that's wonderful.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I love time away from my phone.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I honestly think they're onto something here. How much better
would your life be if we were able to just
know for the next four hours, I don't have to
touch that thing. I kind of got a taste of
that when I was camping this weekend at Indian Cave
State Park. I actually had pretty good reception. But on
the second day we were there, I forgot a charger,
like a way to charge my phone because I you know,
you know how it goes. I don't have a thing,
(04:37):
so I just basically couldn't use it otherwise it was
going to die on me, and so I just left
in my pocket. You know how freeing that is, just
to not have to worry about anything. I'm not checking emails,
I'm not like looking at my social media. I don't
have to worry about anything with it. I'm just like,
I'm here, I'm present, I'm in the moment. How much
better would our lives be if we found a way
to manage that. That's what I'm trying to figure now. Again,
(05:01):
I'm not saying that that's always a realistic expectation that
we can just go without our phone. I mean, heck,
I just sat here and said, hey, Matt, you know
you should do with your phone, make sure it knows
where you're walking and stuff so you can measure your
steps every day, makes you healthier. Well, of course you're
going to need your phone to be able to accomplish that,
But when you're trying to be as practical as possible,
(05:24):
how many Like if I gave you a piece of
the pie, and I asked you how much of this pie,
and the pie is essentially the time that you spend
on your phone? How much of that is optional? The
social media scrolling, the email checking, especially outside of work hours.
I mean, if it was an emergency, don't any think
(05:44):
somebody call you? How much of the one that you
spend on your phone? How much of that is optional?
If I told you, we could all be a healthier
society if we all used our phone half as much
for any given reason. Especially with their young people, you know,
we're seeing a lot of these schools go to cell
phone bands during school hours, and we're seeing immediate results.
(06:05):
Like my hometown did this in their school district, and
they're seeing a twenty percent increase in a's and b's.
They're seeing like a sixty percent decrease in failed grades.
They're actually even seeing an uptick in attendance. What is
that like? Just because they eliminated cell phones? Pretty wild?
Speaker 4 (06:22):
Now.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I love having it for a lot of reasons, but
is there a way we could be more practical with
its use instead of using it for everything in our
entire lives? That is what I want to know. So
if you got an opinion on this, you can email
me Emory at kfab dot com. Emory at kfab dot com.
You can also email me or I just said my email,
you can call me at four oh two five five
(06:44):
eight eleven ten four oh two, five five eight eleven
ten cell phones. You think you can live with that one,
we'll talk about it on news Radio eleven ten Kfab
and Maurice Sung I eighty eastbound from seventy second to
back to six't eighty I think is probably the hot spot.
Might want to avoid east bound all together. If you're
thinking about leaving from work and that's usually where you go,
(07:05):
maybe trying to find an alternate route would be my
advice here in the four o'clock hour coming.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Up, And for those wondering why it was a bad
wreck that caused a fire to close down a couple lanes,
they've been able to open up one of those left
lanes and gotten the fire out, but still a lot
of work to do and still causing some major backups
in the area.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Yeah, so we'll let you know if we get more
info on that. But I eight east bound from seventy
second to sixt eighty for sure, but probably just in general,
probably not a spot to go if you want to
get a nice clean trip home. Three fifty two. Okay,
So we were talking about Augusta National. I watched The
Masters when I got back from camping yesterday, and it's
(07:46):
just interesting to see no cell phones. Usually you're seeing
people recording moments right like you go to a concert.
These days, everybody's got their phone up recording the song
so they can go back and rewatch the video or
post on social media or whatever. Nobody's really living in
the mo anymore because we have the ability to relive
the moment over and over again through the device that
we have, among other things. But I was asking you all,
(08:09):
like everybody talks about great that is, to just like
have the have this event ban cell phones. Nobody even
thinks about trying to pull that thing out for any
reason at all. Kind of interesting. Could we do that
in real life somehow? Pete's on our phone line four
O two five five eight eleven ten, Pete, what do
you think about this?
Speaker 4 (08:28):
Hey, I just want to preface this by telling you
that I've got a dumb phone and I'm really happy
with it. But for years there was I kind of
instigated road trips to away Husker football games. Two or
three times a year. We would go in the trip
to Columbus or an Arbor or Alimoble. There were just
(08:51):
great trips going down there. Well, it got to the
point where I'd be driving and everybody in the vehicle
was on their band their darn phone the whole trip
and there was nothing being said. And finally I just
called it off, having into an away game in quite
some time, because people should they kind of play with
(09:12):
their phone.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yeah, well yeah, and I'm with you. You know, it's
like you're hanging out with someone, anybody, you're just like
sitting with them, and their eyeballs are on their cell phone,
like it you might as well not even be there
at that point, right, So it's it's it's a good
it's a good uh observation. I'm sad about that. Pete,
And you know, I understand how you feel. And you know,
(09:35):
if I could go back to a dumb phone, I'm
not sure I would, but I can understand how you
would be happy not having to worry about all the
stuff that a smartphone, the rigamarole a smartphone can it
can bring to you. I appreciate the call. Thanks for
listening to us. Yeah, it's kind of a it's a bummer,
you know, it's just like, you know what, we used
(09:56):
to be able to talk to each other.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Who can't relate to that though I s can? Yeah,
there is there anything more annoying? I mean, I feel
like there's there's there's a I think a high threshold
of annoyance that some people have. And one thing that
like just ignoring somebody that's sitting trying to talk to
you while you keep just like.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Picking your phone up and stirring at your cell phones.
We used to be able to, like even have the
cell phone in our pocket, and I feel like we
had to keep checking it all the time because, you
know what, we have everything we need information wise on
this thing.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
It's a nervous tick, you know, it is you have
it there and you're just thinking, oh, because there's so
many things to check these days. You got five different
social media apps on your phone, you got four different
sports apps, you got three different email apps, and then
there's more stuff on top of that. You got to
check your body weight index or whatever the heck.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Oh, come on, that's not what people are doing with
their cell phones. Everybody's doing every little thing with them.
Nate's on the line, Nate, I got about thirty seconds.
What's on your mind here?
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Yeah, it's definitely.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
Cell phones have really hindered.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
A lot of people.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
I think it's really hindered a lot.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
Of social socialization of kids.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
They don't know how to talk to people.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
So I whenever kids, you know, whenever I have my
needs to deputy spend the night in my house, their
cell phones go immediately in the death rowork so that
a way they don't start not on them the whole time,
because what's the point of coming over to spend the
night if you're just gonna sit there on your cl
phone wholl time. I definitely live without my cell phone
other than work.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yeah, and I'm I'm with you, Nate, and I appreciate
the call on that.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Today.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I think that there's uh there's something there that he
talked about with Uh, you know, just the socialization with kids.
We were kind of in a society now where it's
like that's the cheat code, right, It's just like hand
the kid to screen if they're if they're misbehaving and stuff.
But does that put themselves in a position where maybe
they can't live without the screen later, I don't know,
(11:45):
but it's an interesting conversation and one will continue here
on News Radio eleven Ton kfa B.

I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
