Speaker 1 (00:00):
Maybe you've raised a daughter.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
She's twenty three years old now, and in those years
when you were raising her, did you ever wonder to yourself,
is anything I'm telling her sinking in.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
All the time?
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Right?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Yeah, that's a constant.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
It's a constant wonder that parents have, Like, is anything
I'm saying sinking in? Does any of this make any sense?
I found I stumbled upon something that I know has
sunk in with our fifteen year old daughter because on
two different occasions in the last week, she's repeated it
to me with unsolicited She has said it to me right,
(00:39):
And it's one of those things. It's not just for kids.
This guy's got Gallawa. I'm a play for you in
just a second. It's he's talking about young people, but
as an adult, you can take this advice and it
will make your life so much better.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Listen to this now, I say to young people, get
the easy stuff right. This is I screwed up so much.
It was late, all the time, work my ass off,
and then I delate to a meeting. The easy stuff right.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
You show up, dress well, don't speak your first six
months at a job, just listen.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
There's just basics.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Shower like young men aren't showering. Get the easy stuff right.
And I speak from experience. I used to work so
hard and I would get the easy stuff wrong. It
wouldn't be kind sometimes right say stupid. You know, just
get the easy stuff right. And I think there's some
basic blocking and tack line, have manners, follow up, you know,
just basics. So many young people don't. Don't make the
(01:27):
mistake of thinking anyone cares about your politics at work,
that's the one I hate. You know, people will not
and call you a need for complaining and then memo
to self, next layoff, you're out of here. Get the
simple stuff right.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Get the simple stuff right like that.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I said that to Landry, I said, I had one
of those Hey, come here, I want to talk to
you moments with her.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
I go, I know I'm constantly.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Giving you little tidbits of things, but I really want
your attention on this one. I want you to listen
to this and I want you to watch this video,
and then I want you to tell me what that means,
and so she and she goes, yeah, it means get
the simple stuff right, like taking a bath, like showing
up on time, like putting your stuff away all the
little things in life that I said that your mother.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
Hound you about to do. Those are the simple things.
Those are things you.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Can control and they're easy. So don't make the easy
things hard. There's so many other things that are going
to be hard.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
I feel that, Like when my daughter has a messy
apartment or car. This is such an easy thing to control, yes, because.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Then if you don't control it, then it becomes this
huge thing that's overwhelming and spirals and it gets worse
and worse.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Right, And I just I was like, my heart was
full when she got out of the car yesterday and
I was like, all right, have fun, see you later.
And she goes, get the simple stuff right, and I'm like, yes,
just do that and your life would be I wish
that's advice I would have gotten when I was a
lot younger.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Take no effort, something along that line.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I've been working on. This is kind of an informal
New Year's resolution. I don't do formal ones. I don't
believe you.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
I don't want to be disappointed if you don't.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Write it in calligraphy that makes it formal.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
No.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
My one of my resolutions, and this is a simple thing,
is like just commit to it now. So a lot
of times you'd say, oh, let's get together, we should
get together and have coffee.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
No, no, no, no, okay, we're going to put it on
the calendar right now. Yes, that's been a new thing.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
And it's like or if you know, sometimes you know,
by meeting things to death, like we don't have to
have a meeting, let's just jump on the phone. Yeah,
let's just or oh, we have stuff to tackle, can
you do it right now?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Let's start it.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
If you did that yesterday with me, I wanted to
make sure that our YouTube. I was like, you have
some time tomorrow to kind of take a look at
our YouTube channel to make sure I've got these things
set up the way it's supposed to be. You're like, yeah,
let's do it right now.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yeah. That's been a new commitment for me.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
And it's it's along the lines of what you're saying,
like this, it's simple to do it now. It's delaying
it and tabling it to death. That makes it a burden, right, That.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Makes it something hanging over your head.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
That you're going to have to do. Yeah, right, it
becomes stressful.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
There was a I think I saw a speech from
a I think it was a Navy, retired Navy seal,
and he was talking about the do it now attitude
and he was like, just do it now.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Do it now. Needs bed needs to be made. Do
it now to make your bed. Theory, that's the first
thing you do. You've accomplished. You've heard that you've accomplished something,
first thing in the morning.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Yep, yeah, probably you probably heard that from your father,
a military father.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Like, no, you know who I heard it from. He's
a U T.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Grat actually, And I just finished reading the book. And
of course I can't remember his name. It's an admiral
in the Navy's fame, I mean viral on YouTube and
a commencement speech is where he gave that.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
But he went to ut.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Yeah, and he was the guy that planned and executed
the raid that killed Osama bin Laden.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
And I just finished that book. It was really good.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
But man, if you don't get anything out of today
show at all, I hope you remember that.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Just get the simple stuff, right.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
I just remembered last week at our daughter's military ball,
she's in ROTC. They had a guest speaker, Sergeant Major
Paul Hannaway, and his speech, his message to the kids
was be better, and he said, sometimes being better is
just doing exactly what is expected of you without being
told to do it. It's sometimes, he said, being better
(05:34):
is just doing the small things that other people won't
do because it makes you better, and then the next
day do something else to be better. So it's kind
of the same message being better or Jenny Goodjeb that
had to be some huge act.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
It's just doing the things right. Gosh, I'm so glad
the three of us are perfect, right God, that's why
we're just joking.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
People ask us our advice more often.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
People need to listen to us more often. We've been
all the answers.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Right, That's why we're just jockey.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
What does that have to do with anything.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
I'm just trying to fill time, man, I'm just filling
the air with something. Just sometimes things just they just
come out, you know what I mean, They just they
just come out.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
So thanks for listening.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
We'll see on the radio every morning from six until
ten on Austin's eighty station one oh three point one
