Speaker 1 (00:02):
In today's office topic. Uh, here's a question. Have you
ever been told just be yourself? Just be yourself and
you'll be fine, and it ended up being horrible advice
for you? Maybe it was on a first date. Maybe
you were told to be yourself on your first day
of a new job. So, Steve, I gotta ask you,
are there situations that you should avoid just being yourself?

(00:25):
When you were comfortable enough to just be yourself in
your relationship? Or when were you comfortable enough to be
just being in your relationship? Those are two different questions.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
My first first gig on the radio in La, would
you the dude that gave me job to man? Just
be yourself? Three days later they had should we'd had
enough being hisself. We need to get a radio person
in here to control some of this. We need to

do time check. I never announced what station you're listening to?

You have to say the call letters to let them
know what aw you hearing me say.

It's probably logical to you, but ran.

listen to the show, to listen.
