Speaker 1 (00:00):
On seven hundred WLWU.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
All right, we say good morning to John Tucker from
the Bloomberg newsroom in New York City. Apple apparently turning
to the United States of America for chips, John Tucker.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Yes, sir, Apple, this is our reporting now has held
exploratory discussions about using Intel and Samsung chips to produce
the main processors for its devices in the United States.
It's a move that would offer another option beyond its
longtime partner, which is Time one semiconductor manufacturing. So the
(00:35):
iPhone iPad maker has had these early stage talks with
Intel about enlisting the chip making services they offer, is
according to our sources. And meanwhile, Apple executives they've made
visits to a Samsung plant under development in Texas that
will also make these advanced chips. So far, neither efforts
(00:56):
resulted in any orders so far, but we'll see. The
work with both pliers does remain preliminary. At this point.
They're trying to shore up, among other things, the supply
chains for Apple and its main products. And like I say,
they have relied on Taiwan for a lot of this
up till now.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Maybe okay, in the futures, this morning, John.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Futures, they're looking up down futures up one hundred and
eighty six points, S and P futures right now thirty
two points higher and the nastay futures of one hundred
and eighty seven points And from Bloomberg. I'm John Tucker
NewsRadio seven hundred w LW.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Alright.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I mentioned today is a final day for our producer
Sean McMahon. He is off to get his career rolling,
so I want to spend a couple of minutes with him.
I had a chance to start here a year ago
and met Shawan a number of times before, but never
had a chance to work much together, and he does
a phenomenal job.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Sean.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
First of all, congratulations on your lab day. Are you
starting to you know, I don't know melancholy is at
the right word, or you're ready to move on?
Speaker 5 (02:05):
I'm ready to go, but at the same time, I'm
sad I have to leave the crew here. You know,
I've said it before and I'll say it again till
I'm blue in the face. I've really enjoyed the people
that I've gotten to work with here. There's lots of
good people in every aspect of this company here from
the sales floor to the news room to to you know,
everybody I've worked with that's been on the air. It's
(02:26):
it's just been a great time getting to know everybody
and make so many connections that I'll have till, you know,
hopefully the end of time. That's that's what I'm sad
about leaving. And you know, Tom, it's been a lot
of fun working with you. I started doing this show
about a year ago with you or so shortly after
you kind of picked it up after McConnell and so
you and I kind of learned the routine together, and.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
You know, it's been fun.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
I'm not gonna miss the three am wake up calls,
but at the same time, I am gonna I'm gonna
miss the morning crew and doing this show.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
It was a nice time.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, you've done this show, You've done Brian show, You've
done all kinds of sports shows. I mean, you've covered
the whole gamut, early mornings, late at night.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
So what now are you off to do? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:07):
So I'm headed down to do some production work for
a company that's actually based out of Dallas, but they
have an office downtown Cincinnati. It's called Chat Sports they
have a big YouTube presence, they do a lot of
NFL coverage, so I'll be doing a bunch of production
work for them. Some of their biggest channels include the
Dallas Cowboys and the Las Vegas Raiders, but I'll be
(03:31):
doing some Bengals work as well for them. So I'm
excited to kind of switch gears and get involved in
the digital world and do some of the video stuff
because I've really only ever done radio and including going
back to my days at Bearcast Media at the University
of Cincinnati, so this will be a pretty big change
for me.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
But I'm excited nonetheless.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
So is your ultimate goal sean to get on the
air and some of this video stuff along with being
in the production side of it.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
I think I've come to really appreciate the production side
of the job. I was very used to doing a
lot of on air stuff, and this job was kind
of my first taste of real production work, and I
really thoroughly came to appreciate it. So a hybrid role
of sorts I think would be really nice for me.
But yeah, definitely some on air stuff, but like I said,
(04:19):
I've come to appreciate the production work as well and
kind of being part of the behind the scenes work
as well. So my ultimate goal though, I really I'm
a big college football fan, so that was what got
me in the media, was, Hey, I want to work
and doing college football, whatever that ends up being. I'd
like to be traveling the country seeing all the stadiums
across the United States, and you know, working covering the
(04:42):
sport that I love.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Sure well, I can tell you, my friend, it has
been an honor and a pleasure to work with you,
and we're all rooting for you and can't wait to
hear about how the new gig is going.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Best of luck, my friend. Thank you, sir. You know
I'll keep you updated and you got my numbers. So
as I've been telling everybody, it's an open book from me,
it's an open door for me. So if you ever
want to catch up, just feel free and I'll feel
the same way for you.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Now, right, men, Amen, Best de luck. Sean McMahon steven
our business insider. You can follow him on Blue Sky
at Greg g r e gg Steven. That's with two
b's st e bb e n Okay, mister business insider.
I saw this and I almost fell out of my
chair students are speeding through their online degrees, not in years,
(05:30):
not in months, in weeks, which is alarming educators. You
mean to tell me people are getting college degrees in
a couple of weeks?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Is this for real?
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Well, not a couple of weeks, four weeks?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Excuse me, pardon me, pardon me.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
Yeah, not a couple not two.
Speaker 7 (05:49):
Two weeks would be absurd, but for it really would
that's now a thing. Master's degree by the way, MBA,
five weeks.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Are you serious?
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, all right, Well let's start before we get to
the cost, because I mean, I want to get sick
thinking about the amount of money that is being spent
or that I'm spending. I just got a daughter through
Texas Christian University and a son in Indiana.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
So all right, let's start with how.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Does that realistically happen to be able to acquire that
much knowledge that it's taking some four or even five
years to get in a matter of four or five weeks.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Well, I so just let's be logistical here and leave
out opinion and my side snarkiness. Basically, there's some universities.
Speaker 7 (06:45):
That now offer only online Well, I mean, lots of
colleges have done this online courses, but you can literally
take them as fast as you can take them, and
so there are people who are literal really cramming into
four weeks all the curriculum of a batchelor's degree, and
(07:07):
in five weeks all the curriculum of a master's degree.
So I mean, look, not everybody's going to be able
to do this because not everyone's going to have the
time to just do that. And you have to take
tests and write papers and things like that, so you
do have to pass the classes.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
But I'm look, I don't know. When I was in college,
I thought to myself, I could take this entire professors
semester of stuff, and if you just handed it to
me as something to read, I could blow through this
in three or four.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I mean, the more you're talking about this, diary, yeah,
I mean I'm thinking about it, and I'm like, you know,
between all of the just the nonsense classes, elective classes
that a lot of kids are forced to take because
it meets whatever, you know, sort of curriculum school is
buying into, which the more and more years I pay
(08:04):
for college, I say to myself, I just can't believe it.
I mean it, I mean it's ridiculous, you know, but yeah,
it's fair.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
Yeah, but let me just say, to be fair, you know,
if you're really into what you're studying, you may already
know twenty five fifty seventy five percent of what the
professor is going to say because you're into it and
you've already read it somewhere else or figured it out
on your own. So this is called competency based education.
(08:32):
And so you know, if you can learn fast, why
should we put a giant millstone around your neck? Let
you learn fast? That's really the principle here. Is there abuse?
Speaker 6 (08:43):
I'm sure there is. So what's the cost?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Now?
Speaker 7 (08:47):
I know you're not gonna like this, but one of
the people in the story got a bachelor's degree in
four weeks a master's degree in five weeks. The total
cost of the two degrees was four thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
You notice, I'm not saying anything.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
I don't know about you, but that was probably my
beer budget every month.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah that man, that might have been a little short,
to be honest, No, but you're there was a lot
cheaper than Well, that's true, and we were drinking butck
horn beer or something like that. Doesn't it make or
does it make getting a four year degree from a
normal university college, et cetera. Does it make that degree
(09:32):
seem kind of stupid?
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (09:35):
And why do you think college educator? I mean, look,
college is already not having its best time. Yeah, I
mean for all kinds of reasons.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
I mean, and you can't really have this conversation without talking.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
About AI, and like kind of like, is college the
right thing for as many people.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
To go to?
Speaker 7 (09:54):
I'm being kind now because your kids are in college
and you just paid for it, But is it actually,
like really the best decision for everybody anymore?
Speaker 6 (10:02):
I don't think so. And so this really does kind
of make you think, especially you, because you're paying for
it twice.
Speaker 7 (10:10):
You know, what was the whole point of this other
than they told us, you know, you have to send
your kids to school or they'll be penalized economically for
the rest of their lives. And now maybe we're finding
out the world changed on us.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You know, it's interesting that when you talk about AI,
because when we visited two weeks ago, and we were
talking about some of the jobs that you know, might
not be as exposed for lack of a better term,
to being taken over by a I and then now
tying it in with what you're saying about, you know,
really is going to a university for your university the.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Best thing to do?
Speaker 8 (10:50):
You know?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
It seems to me this does make a lot of
sense in a lot of ways, along with maybe going
to the trade schools, because those are some of the
things you mentioned as well.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
Right, yeah, and so one of the things that's happened.
These tend to be people who are older.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
And here's the really funny part. Some of these universities
that offer these programs you have to be twenty to
get in the program. Why do you have to be
twenty because they'd rather have you come at eighteen and
spend four years there, or at least get you for
two years before you've finished the thing off in two months.
So there's all kinds that we could talk about this
(11:26):
for hours, but at the end of the day, it
is a reality.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
And I don't like you. You know, I read this.
At first I thought it was absurd, and then I thought, no,
it actually if you think the point is learning the material,
it's not that absurd at all. For a lot of
people going to college for four.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
Years, maybe it's good to be parked there because it
keeps you out of trouble, or there's the social and
the networking aspect of it. I wouldn't want to go
to Yale for four weeks. I'd want to go for
four years so I could meet as many other connected,
wealthy people as.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
I could, so I could learn how to swim in there. Work.
You're not going to learn that in four weeks online.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
All right.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
So if you're the colleges, how do you answer this
kind of thing? I mean, you know, are you going
to have to work harder to attract new students? Are
you going to have to start We've always thought that
this this college bubble might burst sooner or later. Does
this kind of acquiring of a degree do you think
it changes sort of the landscape on either one of
(12:25):
those two, both or none?
Speaker 6 (12:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (12:28):
I think it changes the landscape in so many ways,
you know, because it changes the whole concept of student loans.
For instance, right, it changes the landscape of what mom
and Dad may be willing to pay you can attest
to that. And it also changes here's one of the
biggest changes that's already happening in our country is employers
(12:49):
are changing what they require you to have to get
a job. The whole have a degree checkmark checkbox is
going away anyway. So because I think in employers realized
we only said you had to have a degree because
everyone else said you had.
Speaker 6 (13:03):
To have a degree. But it didn't turn out that
the people with the degrees were necessarily better than the
people that didn't, So.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
Why should we require that. Well, when you take away
the money and you take away the requirement by employers,
colleges are in all world are hurt anyway. So this
is just you know, this is just more heard on
top of a lot of other I think we're going
to see a huge reform of our university system and
maybe we get back to you go to college because
(13:30):
there's something you really want to study and it's going
to take time, and you want to be surrounded by
other people who have that interest because that's how the
field itself grows, instead of because like me, my parents
said you have to go to college.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
So I went to college and I hated every minute
of it except the beer and the dating.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Part yep, yep. And there's a whole lot of that
still going on. That's the test of time, and it changes.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
And and I hope it is going on, because you know,
I learned a lot during that period, but.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
It wasn't in the classroom, and it wasn't while I
was hitting the books, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Greg, You're the best. Thanks so much for your time,
my friend.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Thank you. It's great to be here.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Guy is really great, interesting stuff, Greg Steven. We're lucky
to have him each and every week here on the
Big One seven under WLW. Jules you much see Frank
Sinatra fan.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
I'm a huge Frank Sinatra plan and that's one of
my favorite songs of all time.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
I did it my way.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yep, you want to sing a little bit? You want
to sing a little bit with uh? With Frank here?
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Now?
Speaker 4 (14:31):
My mom, my mom would kill me if I tried that. Oh,
but what a great show.
Speaker 8 (14:37):
Speaking of my mom. You it's teacher appreciation.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah, yeah, we were talking about.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Yeah, my mom was a teacher forever and ever, and
my sister Jill's a teacher.
Speaker 8 (14:48):
So what a great show. Tom.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Well, thank you, it's been fun today and it's always
you know, I had a will back and forth recently
with a teacher. I will not give her name. She
asked me not to, but she's up in the Lakota
School District and we were going back and forth about
a couple things I had said on the air, and
you know, we finally were able to just She wasn't mad.
(15:12):
She was just kind of questioning about this or that
or whatever it was. And I called her up on
the phone and I said, look, I said, you know,
I'm a public school guy and she's a public school teacher.
I said, my kids went to public school out at Marymont.
I said, so, I'm not picking on public schools here.
There was just a story that day, and she wasn't
all that crazy about it. But I have incredible respect,
(15:33):
incredible respect for teachers, and I think a lot of
us when you look back on your life, if you're
lucky enough, and not every kid is lucky enough, but
if you're lucky enough, you will look back on your life.
And if someone would ever ask you the question when
you get to be in your maybe forties fifties, get
to be a little bit older about the people that
(15:53):
made the biggest influence on your life, I would bet
that most people in their top four five would find
a teacher that was in that group, don't you think?
Speaker 7 (16:05):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (16:05):
I totally agree not only you can name them by
name what subject they taught you. And I think the
bottom line is they set you up for success. It's
not that they taught you great you know, English, or.
Speaker 8 (16:18):
Helped you with vocabulary.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
They just cared enough and believed in you enough that
they set you up to always be learning, always be
that person out there who is coachable and teachable and
really never stops learning. And that's the best teacher. And
of course I lived with one and she's still like that,
and you know my sister.
Speaker 8 (16:40):
As well, So I've got a great family. I'll tell
you that.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
You know, one of these days I want to get
into since you just brought it up, and it could
be a coach, You're right, who yes, is a coach,
but they're a teacher more than likely, if not at
your school, they're a teacher at another school. But you
know the whole thing about coach and coaching hard, or
teaching and teaching hard, you know, I start to see
(17:07):
the older I get. And I coached both my son
and my daughter's basketball team starting in kindergarten all the
way till they got to junior high school baseball as well.
I always say I was such a great baseball coach,
and all the kids that I coach in baseball all
played lacrosse in high school. But you know, it's one
of those deals where, you know, are we getting to
a point where we're not coaching and teaching hard anymore
(17:29):
because the parents out there don't want little Johnny or
little Jill to be pushed too hard.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
We'll save that for another day. We're gonna get you. Yeah,
go finish that thought. Please understand, he said, I was.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
You know, I think it's being humble, whether you're a
parent or a coach or someone who's being coached, it's
being willing to be coached, and that's the most important thing.
But it is a neat topic, and you're right, we'll save.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
It for another day.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (17:59):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
I had a woman come up to me in a
bar not long ago, not far from this studio, and
I must have coached against her son when the kids
were younger boys basketball. This lady walked up to me
in a bar and she said, you know what, I
find you to be one of the most appalling people
I have ever been around in my life. And I'm like,
(18:19):
I don't even know you. She says, well, yeah, you
used to coach, you know, boys basketball. I said, yeah.
She said the way you coach those kids was totally
totally wrong, way too hard on them. And all I
said was, I said, well, look, I said, the parents
that you know of those kids, I said, and many
of them are still my son's friends. Now, they might
(18:41):
tell you otherwise, I said, So if you didn't like it,
I'm sorry. But anyway, that's a different story. I couldn't
believe it happened. I couldn't believe it happened.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Okay, coach for well, I hope for every person that
happened that says that to you, there's another person in
KROGERU comes up to you and just says.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Kit, Yeah, that's right, that's right. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
And the parents of those kids thanked me. And I mean,
there were times I crossed the line.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I did, and I'm guilty of it, and I admit it.
But I think, without a doubt, without a doubt, I
know you find that very hard to believe. I know,
let's get back to our conversation about trends in health.
We've covered our rings. My wife has one of those,
or a watch or something. I don't know what it is.
Smart scales, vibrating platforms. Okay, now I want to get
(19:31):
into this one because I see a fello in my neighborhood.
Guy's in unbelievable shape. He's a mountain of a man.
He grew up in Athens, Ohio. This is a big,
country strong dude. And his exercise every day is he
gets out and walks with his vest. I think this
vest weighs more than I do. But these weighted vests,
I mean you even see some people walking around like
(19:53):
grocery stores with these things on.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Are they good for you?
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Well, there's a lot of prose to him. I mean,
they promise to increase the intensity of your workout, and
they promise to boost your calorie burn.
Speaker 8 (20:08):
But only by like five calories, so don't get you know.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
And they promised to build strength and bone density, and
they promise to build endurance. But here's the problem. Yes,
weighted best have a place in workouts, but not a
big place. So what is you know, something that does
(20:32):
show promise. People are getting carried away. You see women
in Kroger with a weighted vest on and it's too
much weight, and their posture isn't great and they're leaning
over their grocery carts. So all that weight and with
a poor posture, well it's definitely going to lead to
back pain, hip pain. You can have posture issues. So
(20:55):
a lot of people are not suitable for weighted zest
and they're not necessary. And that's the other problem. When
you and I talk about all these new health trends,
they should, you know what. They all have value. But
I feel like people are taking things to extreme. Like
(21:15):
when you're wearing a weighted vest and cooking dinner and
awaited best and going to pick up your son it's
a bus stop and waited best watching the kids' soccer game,
I don't I think over time, it's going to crush
your back and it's not going to help you at all,
especially if it's poor fitted, especially if you're tired, and
(21:36):
especially if it's too much weight. So taken to extreme,
these things are extremely dangerous. I mean talking and if
they really.
Speaker 8 (21:47):
Promise to make you lose weight.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
When we have a lot of skinny cops walking around.
Speaker 8 (21:52):
Because they wear those weighted vests, tell you.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
That they wear them all day long, and they'll be
the first to tell you I can't wait to get
them off. They're uncomfortable. They're hot, and for a lot
of people, they just don't fit.
Speaker 8 (22:07):
Right.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Okay, let's move now to intermittent fasting. I wish I
had a nickel for everybody I've met that has tried
this or is doing this on a regular basis. And again,
I want to make sure that I preface everything by saying,
and you made it to make it a point to
me that most of this stuff on the surface is
not bad. It's just it can be overhyped or overdone.
(22:30):
What about intermittent fasting? What do you think about that?
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Okay, so, first of all, a lot of people don't
even know what it is. And so there's this couple methods.
The most popular method tom it's called sixteen eight method,
which means you fast for sixteen hours and you only
eat during an eight hour window. So let's just say
you finish your dinner at six thirty, then you won't
(22:57):
eat till the next day at lunch. That's you know,
that's what most people do. Now, there are some benefits it.
You don't have to think much, do you, You don't
have to prepare any extra meals. You can lose weight
because it's a schedule, and people love schedules, and they
love the fact that they don't have to think much about,
(23:19):
you know, the next meal in food. It's easy, it's simple,
and so there is something very valid to that. But
the problem can be some of the side effects headaches,
you get fatigued, dizzyness, you might pass out, and man,
can you get angry, like you're irritable and you know,
(23:42):
and that's not good. The other thing is the risk
of overeating. Have you ever not eaten for a real
long time, and then yeah, everything, and so that can
really lead to problems. And of course it's not suitable
for everyone. If you're pregnant, if you're training for some
(24:04):
big event, your workouts are in the morning, if you're
trying you know, all those things. And then of course
eating they leave can eat lead to eating disorders. So
you have all that to contend with, and you know,
sometimes it's better just to go back to the simple breakfast,
hunch and dinner. But you know, like I said, taken
(24:27):
to extreme, it could be really, really dangerous. But there's
there are some positive things for certain people.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Okay, all right, now, I have tried this one during
this hip replacement, and that is red light therapy. I
read a lot about it. Well, you know, I mean, look,
they say it takes you know, weeks of doing this.
This is it looks like you're laying in a tanning bed.
In fact, it looks just like a tanning bed. But
the light, Yeah, that's right, that's right. But it is
(24:58):
like a tiny bed for those that remember those things.
But the radiation, the light, et cetera, is nothing like
a tanning bed. It's not dangerous to your skin, that
kind of thing. Some people do it for better skin.
In my case, it's doing for creating more blood flow
in the area to hopefully heal the incision slash wound quicker. Now,
(25:23):
have I felt a difference in the four or five
days of doing it, Well, I mean, I can't compare
it to anything because I've never had another hip replacement,
so I don't know. But what I do know is
is i feel like I'm getting around pretty well right now.
And I'm wondering, is that all between my ears or
does that stuff really work?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
What do you think?
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Well, first of all, in your circumstance, Tom, with your
hip replacement, I would.
Speaker 8 (25:47):
Do everything I can to heal quicker.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Well, you know, there is no really no downside to it,
downside to it at all, And I would be like you,
I would you know, do everything I can better sleep,
good nutrition. If they want you to go in a
cold plunge, how your physical therapy is going, that is like,
I want you to be all in as you get better,
(26:11):
and I'm looking forward to it seeing you, you know,
really feeling good. But the problem is they're over hyping
a lot of stuff. So I don't want people to
think that they can sit in a red light room
and it's going to burn fent and boost their metabolism
and it's going to replace your workout or transform your energy.
(26:35):
And that's what the problem is. So people are spending
boatloads of money and more importantly, boatloads of time, you know,
with all this stuff. And it worries me because what
is it taking away from, Like you could go for
a walk and probably get more out of it than
(26:55):
sitting in red light therapy all day, or not all day,
but every day. And I think you're right, you know,
the results are modest, not dramatic, you know. And the
other thing is it's gonna it's going to take some
consistent long term use.
Speaker 8 (27:11):
I mean you, I.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Don't know how long you plan on doing it, but
it's going to take a while. And remember, you can't
light your way out of bad hab.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
So yeah, are do I have to hear this again?
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Yes, you know what, and I know you're going through
a tough time. I think recovery. I think surgery is
the easy part. I think, you know, the next four
to six to eight weeks for you is you know,
up and down. One day you feel like you're light
in the world on fire and you feel good.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
The next day you feel.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Like a stuffed animal with all the stuffing out, you know.
So that's the hard part for you, is you know,
finding what works, being consistent, but really being inspired by
the you know, the whole process.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Yeah, I hear you, all right, Jewels, always right being
with each and every week, and I'll look forward to
catching up again next week.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
I hope you have a great rest of your Tuesday.

All right, we say good morning to John Tucker from
the Bloomberg newsroom in New York City. Apple apparently turning
to the United States of America for chips, John Tucker.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Yes, sir, Apple, this is our reporting now has held
exploratory discussions about using Intel and Samsung chips to produce
the main processors for its devices in the United States.
It's a move that would offer another option beyond its
longtime partner, which is Time one semiconductor manufacturing. So the
(00:35):
iPhone iPad maker has had these early stage talks with
Intel about enlisting the chip making services they offer, is
according to our sources. And meanwhile, Apple executives they've made
visits to a Samsung plant under development in Texas that
will also make these advanced chips. So far, neither efforts
(00:56):
resulted in any orders so far, but we'll see. The
work with both pliers does remain preliminary. At this point.
They're trying to shore up, among other things, the supply
chains for Apple and its main products. And like I say,
they have relied on Taiwan for a lot of this
up till now.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Maybe okay, in the futures, this morning, John.
Speaker 3 (01:20):

Speaker 4 (01:36):
Alright.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
I mentioned today is a final day for our producer
Sean McMahon. He is off to get his career rolling,
so I want to spend a couple of minutes with him.
I had a chance to start here a year ago
and met Shawan a number of times before, but never
had a chance to work much together, and he does
a phenomenal job.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Sean.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
First of all, congratulations on your lab day. Are you
starting to you know, I don't know melancholy is at
the right word, or you're ready to move on?
Speaker 5 (02:05):
I'm ready to go, but at the same time, I'm
sad I have to leave the crew here. You know,
I've said it before and I'll say it again till
I'm blue in the face. I've really enjoyed the people
that I've gotten to work with here. There's lots of
good people in every aspect of this company here from
the sales floor to the news room to to you know,
everybody I've worked with that's been on the air. It's
(02:26):
it's just been a great time getting to know everybody
and make so many connections that I'll have till, you know,
hopefully the end of time. That's that's what I'm sad
about leaving. And you know, Tom, it's been a lot
of fun working with you. I started doing this show
about a year ago with you or so shortly after
you kind of picked it up after McConnell and so
you and I kind of learned the routine together, and.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
You know, it's been fun.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
I'm not gonna miss the three am wake up calls,
but at the same time, I am gonna I'm gonna
miss the morning crew and doing this show.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
It was a nice time.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, you've done this show, You've done Brian show, You've
done all kinds of sports shows. I mean, you've covered
the whole gamut, early mornings, late at night.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
So what now are you off to do? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:07):
So I'm headed down to do some production work for
a company that's actually based out of Dallas, but they
have an office downtown Cincinnati. It's called Chat Sports they
have a big YouTube presence, they do a lot of
NFL coverage, so I'll be doing a bunch of production
work for them. Some of their biggest channels include the
Dallas Cowboys and the Las Vegas Raiders, but I'll be
(03:31):
doing some Bengals work as well for them. So I'm
excited to kind of switch gears and get involved in
the digital world and do some of the video stuff
because I've really only ever done radio and including going
back to my days at Bearcast Media at the University
of Cincinnati, so this will be a pretty big change
for me.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
But I'm excited nonetheless.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
So is your ultimate goal sean to get on the
air and some of this video stuff along with being
in the production side of it.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 5 (03:58):
I think I've come to really appreciate the production side
of the job. I was very used to doing a
lot of on air stuff, and this job was kind
of my first taste of real production work, and I
really thoroughly came to appreciate it. So a hybrid role
of sorts I think would be really nice for me.
But yeah, definitely some on air stuff, but like I said,
(04:19):
I've come to appreciate the production work as well and
kind of being part of the behind the scenes work
as well. So my ultimate goal though, I really I'm
a big college football fan, so that was what got
me in the media, was, Hey, I want to work
and doing college football, whatever that ends up being. I'd
like to be traveling the country seeing all the stadiums
across the United States, and you know, working covering the
(04:42):
sport that I love.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Sure well, I can tell you, my friend, it has
been an honor and a pleasure to work with you,
and we're all rooting for you and can't wait to
hear about how the new gig is going.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
Best of luck, my friend. Thank you, sir. You know
I'll keep you updated and you got my numbers. So
as I've been telling everybody, it's an open book from me,
it's an open door for me. So if you ever
want to catch up, just feel free and I'll feel
the same way for you.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Now, right, men, Amen, Best de luck. Sean McMahon steven
our business insider. You can follow him on Blue Sky
at Greg g r e gg Steven. That's with two
b's st e bb e n Okay, mister business insider.
I saw this and I almost fell out of my
chair students are speeding through their online degrees, not in years,
(05:30):
not in months, in weeks, which is alarming educators. You
mean to tell me people are getting college degrees in
a couple of weeks?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Is this for real?
Speaker 6 (05:42):
Well, not a couple of weeks, four weeks?
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Excuse me, pardon me, pardon me.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
Yeah, not a couple not two.
Speaker 7 (05:49):
Two weeks would be absurd, but for it really would
that's now a thing. Master's degree by the way, MBA,
five weeks.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Are you serious?
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Yeah, all right, Well let's start before we get to
the cost, because I mean, I want to get sick
thinking about the amount of money that is being spent
or that I'm spending. I just got a daughter through
Texas Christian University and a son in Indiana.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
So all right, let's start with how.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Does that realistically happen to be able to acquire that
much knowledge that it's taking some four or even five
years to get in a matter of four or five weeks.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
Well, I so just let's be logistical here and leave
out opinion and my side snarkiness. Basically, there's some universities.
Speaker 7 (06:45):
That now offer only online Well, I mean, lots of
colleges have done this online courses, but you can literally
take them as fast as you can take them, and
so there are people who are literal really cramming into
four weeks all the curriculum of a batchelor's degree, and
(07:07):
in five weeks all the curriculum of a master's degree.
So I mean, look, not everybody's going to be able
to do this because not everyone's going to have the
time to just do that. And you have to take
tests and write papers and things like that, so you
do have to pass the classes.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
But I'm look, I don't know. When I was in college,
I thought to myself, I could take this entire professors
semester of stuff, and if you just handed it to
me as something to read, I could blow through this
in three or four.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I mean, the more you're talking about this, diary, yeah,
I mean I'm thinking about it, and I'm like, you know,
between all of the just the nonsense classes, elective classes
that a lot of kids are forced to take because
it meets whatever, you know, sort of curriculum school is
buying into, which the more and more years I pay
(08:04):
for college, I say to myself, I just can't believe it.
I mean it, I mean it's ridiculous, you know, but yeah,
it's fair.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
Yeah, but let me just say, to be fair, you know,
if you're really into what you're studying, you may already
know twenty five fifty seventy five percent of what the
professor is going to say because you're into it and
you've already read it somewhere else or figured it out
on your own. So this is called competency based education.
(08:32):
And so you know, if you can learn fast, why
should we put a giant millstone around your neck? Let
you learn fast? That's really the principle here. Is there abuse?
Speaker 6 (08:43):
I'm sure there is. So what's the cost?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Now?
Speaker 7 (08:47):
I know you're not gonna like this, but one of
the people in the story got a bachelor's degree in
four weeks a master's degree in five weeks. The total
cost of the two degrees was four thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
You notice, I'm not saying anything.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
I don't know about you, but that was probably my
beer budget every month.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah that man, that might have been a little short,
to be honest, No, but you're there was a lot
cheaper than Well, that's true, and we were drinking butck
horn beer or something like that. Doesn't it make or
does it make getting a four year degree from a
normal university college, et cetera. Does it make that degree
(09:32):
seem kind of stupid?
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (09:35):
And why do you think college educator? I mean, look,
college is already not having its best time. Yeah, I
mean for all kinds of reasons.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
I mean, and you can't really have this conversation without talking.
Speaker 7 (09:48):
About AI, and like kind of like, is college the
right thing for as many people.
Speaker 6 (09:54):
To go to?
Speaker 7 (09:54):
I'm being kind now because your kids are in college
and you just paid for it, But is it actually,
like really the best decision for everybody anymore?
Speaker 6 (10:02):
I don't think so. And so this really does kind
of make you think, especially you, because you're paying for
it twice.
Speaker 7 (10:10):
You know, what was the whole point of this other
than they told us, you know, you have to send
your kids to school or they'll be penalized economically for
the rest of their lives. And now maybe we're finding
out the world changed on us.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
You know, it's interesting that when you talk about AI,
because when we visited two weeks ago, and we were
talking about some of the jobs that you know, might
not be as exposed for lack of a better term,
to being taken over by a I and then now
tying it in with what you're saying about, you know,
really is going to a university for your university the.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Best thing to do?
Speaker 8 (10:50):
You know?
Speaker 2 (10:50):
It seems to me this does make a lot of
sense in a lot of ways, along with maybe going
to the trade schools, because those are some of the
things you mentioned as well.
Speaker 6 (10:58):
Right, yeah, and so one of the things that's happened.
These tend to be people who are older.
Speaker 7 (11:05):
And here's the really funny part. Some of these universities
that offer these programs you have to be twenty to
get in the program. Why do you have to be
twenty because they'd rather have you come at eighteen and
spend four years there, or at least get you for
two years before you've finished the thing off in two months.
So there's all kinds that we could talk about this
(11:26):
for hours, but at the end of the day, it
is a reality.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
And I don't like you. You know, I read this.
At first I thought it was absurd, and then I thought, no,
it actually if you think the point is learning the material,
it's not that absurd at all. For a lot of
people going to college for four.
Speaker 7 (11:42):
Years, maybe it's good to be parked there because it
keeps you out of trouble, or there's the social and
the networking aspect of it. I wouldn't want to go
to Yale for four weeks. I'd want to go for
four years so I could meet as many other connected,
wealthy people as.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
I could, so I could learn how to swim in there. Work.
You're not going to learn that in four weeks online.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
All right.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
So if you're the colleges, how do you answer this
kind of thing? I mean, you know, are you going
to have to work harder to attract new students? Are
you going to have to start We've always thought that
this this college bubble might burst sooner or later. Does
this kind of acquiring of a degree do you think
it changes sort of the landscape on either one of
(12:25):
those two, both or none?
Speaker 6 (12:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (12:28):
I think it changes the landscape in so many ways,
you know, because it changes the whole concept of student loans.
For instance, right, it changes the landscape of what mom
and Dad may be willing to pay you can attest
to that. And it also changes here's one of the
biggest changes that's already happening in our country is employers
(12:49):
are changing what they require you to have to get
a job. The whole have a degree checkmark checkbox is
going away anyway. So because I think in employers realized
we only said you had to have a degree because
everyone else said you had.
Speaker 6 (13:03):
To have a degree. But it didn't turn out that
the people with the degrees were necessarily better than the
people that didn't, So.
Speaker 7 (13:09):
Why should we require that. Well, when you take away
the money and you take away the requirement by employers,
colleges are in all world are hurt anyway. So this
is just you know, this is just more heard on
top of a lot of other I think we're going
to see a huge reform of our university system and
maybe we get back to you go to college because
(13:30):
there's something you really want to study and it's going
to take time, and you want to be surrounded by
other people who have that interest because that's how the
field itself grows, instead of because like me, my parents
said you have to go to college.
Speaker 6 (13:43):
So I went to college and I hated every minute
of it except the beer and the dating.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Part yep, yep. And there's a whole lot of that
still going on. That's the test of time, and it changes.
Speaker 7 (13:54):
And and I hope it is going on, because you know,
I learned a lot during that period, but.
Speaker 6 (13:59):
It wasn't in the classroom, and it wasn't while I
was hitting the books, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Greg, You're the best. Thanks so much for your time,
my friend.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Thank you. It's great to be here.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Guy is really great, interesting stuff, Greg Steven. We're lucky
to have him each and every week here on the
Big One seven under WLW. Jules you much see Frank
Sinatra fan.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
I'm a huge Frank Sinatra plan and that's one of
my favorite songs of all time.
Speaker 8 (14:24):
I did it my way.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Yep, you want to sing a little bit? You want
to sing a little bit with uh? With Frank here?
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Now?
Speaker 4 (14:31):
My mom, my mom would kill me if I tried that. Oh,
but what a great show.
Speaker 8 (14:37):
Speaking of my mom. You it's teacher appreciation.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
Yeah, yeah, we were talking about.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Yeah, my mom was a teacher forever and ever, and
my sister Jill's a teacher.
Speaker 8 (14:48):
So what a great show. Tom.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Well, thank you, it's been fun today and it's always
you know, I had a will back and forth recently
with a teacher. I will not give her name. She
asked me not to, but she's up in the Lakota
School District and we were going back and forth about
a couple things I had said on the air, and
you know, we finally were able to just She wasn't mad.
(15:12):
She was just kind of questioning about this or that
or whatever it was. And I called her up on
the phone and I said, look, I said, you know,
I'm a public school guy and she's a public school teacher.
I said, my kids went to public school out at Marymont.
I said, so, I'm not picking on public schools here.
There was just a story that day, and she wasn't
all that crazy about it. But I have incredible respect,
(15:33):
incredible respect for teachers, and I think a lot of
us when you look back on your life, if you're
lucky enough, and not every kid is lucky enough, but
if you're lucky enough, you will look back on your life.
And if someone would ever ask you the question when
you get to be in your maybe forties fifties, get
to be a little bit older about the people that
(15:53):
made the biggest influence on your life, I would bet
that most people in their top four five would find
a teacher that was in that group, don't you think?
Speaker 7 (16:05):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (16:05):
I totally agree not only you can name them by
name what subject they taught you. And I think the
bottom line is they set you up for success. It's
not that they taught you great you know, English, or.
Speaker 8 (16:18):
Helped you with vocabulary.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
They just cared enough and believed in you enough that
they set you up to always be learning, always be
that person out there who is coachable and teachable and
really never stops learning. And that's the best teacher. And
of course I lived with one and she's still like that,
and you know my sister.
Speaker 8 (16:40):
As well, So I've got a great family. I'll tell
you that.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
You know, one of these days I want to get
into since you just brought it up, and it could
be a coach, You're right, who yes, is a coach,
but they're a teacher more than likely, if not at
your school, they're a teacher at another school. But you
know the whole thing about coach and coaching hard, or
teaching and teaching hard, you know, I start to see
(17:07):
the older I get. And I coached both my son
and my daughter's basketball team starting in kindergarten all the
way till they got to junior high school baseball as well.
I always say I was such a great baseball coach,
and all the kids that I coach in baseball all
played lacrosse in high school. But you know, it's one
of those deals where, you know, are we getting to
a point where we're not coaching and teaching hard anymore
(17:29):
because the parents out there don't want little Johnny or
little Jill to be pushed too hard.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
We'll save that for another day. We're gonna get you. Yeah,
go finish that thought. Please understand, he said, I was.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
You know, I think it's being humble, whether you're a
parent or a coach or someone who's being coached, it's
being willing to be coached, and that's the most important thing.
But it is a neat topic, and you're right, we'll save.
Speaker 8 (17:58):
It for another day.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (17:59):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
I had a woman come up to me in a
bar not long ago, not far from this studio, and
I must have coached against her son when the kids
were younger boys basketball. This lady walked up to me
in a bar and she said, you know what, I
find you to be one of the most appalling people
I have ever been around in my life. And I'm like,
(18:19):
I don't even know you. She says, well, yeah, you
used to coach, you know, boys basketball. I said, yeah.
She said the way you coach those kids was totally
totally wrong, way too hard on them. And all I
said was, I said, well, look, I said, the parents
that you know of those kids, I said, and many
of them are still my son's friends. Now, they might
(18:41):
tell you otherwise, I said, So if you didn't like it,
I'm sorry. But anyway, that's a different story. I couldn't
believe it happened. I couldn't believe it happened.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Okay, coach for well, I hope for every person that
happened that says that to you, there's another person in
KROGERU comes up to you and just says.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Kit, Yeah, that's right, that's right. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
And the parents of those kids thanked me. And I mean,
there were times I crossed the line.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (19:06):
I did, and I'm guilty of it, and I admit it.
But I think, without a doubt, without a doubt, I
know you find that very hard to believe. I know,
let's get back to our conversation about trends in health.
We've covered our rings. My wife has one of those,
or a watch or something. I don't know what it is.
Smart scales, vibrating platforms. Okay, now I want to get
(19:31):
into this one because I see a fello in my neighborhood.
Guy's in unbelievable shape. He's a mountain of a man.
He grew up in Athens, Ohio. This is a big,
country strong dude. And his exercise every day is he
gets out and walks with his vest. I think this
vest weighs more than I do. But these weighted vests,
I mean you even see some people walking around like
(19:53):
grocery stores with these things on.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Are they good for you?
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Well, there's a lot of prose to him. I mean,
they promise to increase the intensity of your workout, and
they promise to boost your calorie burn.
Speaker 8 (20:08):
But only by like five calories, so don't get you know.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
And they promised to build strength and bone density, and
they promise to build endurance. But here's the problem. Yes,
weighted best have a place in workouts, but not a
big place. So what is you know, something that does
(20:32):
show promise. People are getting carried away. You see women
in Kroger with a weighted vest on and it's too
much weight, and their posture isn't great and they're leaning
over their grocery carts. So all that weight and with
a poor posture, well it's definitely going to lead to
back pain, hip pain. You can have posture issues. So
(20:55):
a lot of people are not suitable for weighted zest
and they're not necessary. And that's the other problem. When
you and I talk about all these new health trends,
they should, you know what. They all have value. But
I feel like people are taking things to extreme. Like
(21:15):
when you're wearing a weighted vest and cooking dinner and
awaited best and going to pick up your son it's
a bus stop and waited best watching the kids' soccer game,
I don't I think over time, it's going to crush
your back and it's not going to help you at all,
especially if it's poor fitted, especially if you're tired, and
(21:36):
especially if it's too much weight. So taken to extreme,
these things are extremely dangerous. I mean talking and if
they really.
Speaker 8 (21:47):
Promise to make you lose weight.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
When we have a lot of skinny cops walking around.
Speaker 8 (21:52):
Because they wear those weighted vests, tell you.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
That they wear them all day long, and they'll be
the first to tell you I can't wait to get
them off. They're uncomfortable. They're hot, and for a lot
of people, they just don't fit.
Speaker 8 (22:07):
Right.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Okay, let's move now to intermittent fasting. I wish I
had a nickel for everybody I've met that has tried
this or is doing this on a regular basis. And again,
I want to make sure that I preface everything by saying,
and you made it to make it a point to
me that most of this stuff on the surface is
not bad. It's just it can be overhyped or overdone.
(22:30):
What about intermittent fasting? What do you think about that?
Speaker 4 (22:34):
Okay, so, first of all, a lot of people don't
even know what it is. And so there's this couple methods.
The most popular method tom it's called sixteen eight method,
which means you fast for sixteen hours and you only
eat during an eight hour window. So let's just say
you finish your dinner at six thirty, then you won't
(22:57):
eat till the next day at lunch. That's you know,
that's what most people do. Now, there are some benefits it.
You don't have to think much, do you, You don't
have to prepare any extra meals. You can lose weight
because it's a schedule, and people love schedules, and they
love the fact that they don't have to think much about,
(23:19):
you know, the next meal in food. It's easy, it's simple,
and so there is something very valid to that. But
the problem can be some of the side effects headaches,
you get fatigued, dizzyness, you might pass out, and man,
can you get angry, like you're irritable and you know,
(23:42):
and that's not good. The other thing is the risk
of overeating. Have you ever not eaten for a real
long time, and then yeah, everything, and so that can
really lead to problems. And of course it's not suitable
for everyone. If you're pregnant, if you're training for some
(24:04):
big event, your workouts are in the morning, if you're
trying you know, all those things. And then of course
eating they leave can eat lead to eating disorders. So
you have all that to contend with, and you know,
sometimes it's better just to go back to the simple breakfast,
hunch and dinner. But you know, like I said, taken
(24:27):
to extreme, it could be really, really dangerous. But there's
there are some positive things for certain people.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
Okay, all right, now, I have tried this one during
this hip replacement, and that is red light therapy. I
read a lot about it. Well, you know, I mean, look,
they say it takes you know, weeks of doing this.
This is it looks like you're laying in a tanning bed.
In fact, it looks just like a tanning bed. But
the light, Yeah, that's right, that's right. But it is
(24:58):
like a tiny bed for those that remember those things.
But the radiation, the light, et cetera, is nothing like
a tanning bed. It's not dangerous to your skin, that
kind of thing. Some people do it for better skin.
In my case, it's doing for creating more blood flow
in the area to hopefully heal the incision slash wound quicker. Now,
(25:23):
have I felt a difference in the four or five
days of doing it, Well, I mean, I can't compare
it to anything because I've never had another hip replacement,
so I don't know. But what I do know is
is i feel like I'm getting around pretty well right now.
And I'm wondering, is that all between my ears or
does that stuff really work?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
What do you think?
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Well, first of all, in your circumstance, Tom, with your
hip replacement, I would.
Speaker 8 (25:47):
Do everything I can to heal quicker.
Speaker 4 (25:50):
Well, you know, there is no really no downside to it,
downside to it at all, And I would be like you,
I would you know, do everything I can better sleep,
good nutrition. If they want you to go in a
cold plunge, how your physical therapy is going, that is like,
I want you to be all in as you get better,
(26:11):
and I'm looking forward to it seeing you, you know,
really feeling good. But the problem is they're over hyping
a lot of stuff. So I don't want people to
think that they can sit in a red light room
and it's going to burn fent and boost their metabolism
and it's going to replace your workout or transform your energy.
(26:35):
And that's what the problem is. So people are spending
boatloads of money and more importantly, boatloads of time, you know,
with all this stuff. And it worries me because what
is it taking away from, Like you could go for
a walk and probably get more out of it than
(26:55):
sitting in red light therapy all day, or not all day,
but every day. And I think you're right, you know,
the results are modest, not dramatic, you know. And the
other thing is it's gonna it's going to take some
consistent long term use.
Speaker 8 (27:11):
I mean you, I.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Don't know how long you plan on doing it, but
it's going to take a while. And remember, you can't
light your way out of bad hab.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
So yeah, are do I have to hear this again?
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Yes, you know what, and I know you're going through
a tough time. I think recovery. I think surgery is
the easy part. I think, you know, the next four
to six to eight weeks for you is you know,
up and down. One day you feel like you're light
in the world on fire and you feel good.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
The next day you feel.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Like a stuffed animal with all the stuffing out, you know.
So that's the hard part for you, is you know,
finding what works, being consistent, but really being inspired by
the you know, the whole process.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
Yeah, I hear you, all right, Jewels, always right being
with each and every week, and I'll look forward to
catching up again next week.
