The WOR Saturday Morning Show with Larry Mendte - - 10 - 18 - 2025

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is a podcast from wor Now the wr Saturday
Morning Show. Here's Larry Minty.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Good morning, and welcome to Saturday Morning. Will the first
mayoral debate change anything in the polls? We'll ask political
analyst J. C. Polonko. Republican candidate for governor Jack Chitarelli
is here to talk about his lawsuit against his opponent,
Democrat Mikey Cheryl. Futurist reporter Kevin Sirelli talks about a

(00:30):
new miracle medical procedure being worked on by Elon Musk
that will help the blind to see, and HR specialist
Greg gian Grandi tells you what to do in the
workplace if your boss is playing favorites and you're not
one of them. But let's start with political analyst JC

(00:50):
Polonko and his thoughts on the first mayoral debate. Wow,
that was some fireworks, Jac.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (00:57):
Yeah, I told you it was going to be the
thriller in and I think that's what your listeners got.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
They tuned in, yeah, especially, and now they seem to
Unfortunately the moderators did too, but they seem to ignore
Curtis Leiwa, who was right there in the middle, and
for that fact, because they left him alone because he
didn't get muddied up and he made some great points.
If you had to pick a winner of that debate,

(01:23):
I think it's Curtis Leewa.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
Interesting, you know, I'm getting it seems to be that
people are announcing their winner based on who they like
the most on the issues. I'm listening to folks that
said Mamdani one, tons of people that say CMO pulled
this off. And now you know, I'm looking online and
there are a lot of people that said that Curtis
Leewa was quintessential New Yorker. He was authentic, and he

(01:46):
came across as competent but bombastic. So, you know, I'm
getting I'm still studying what people are saying. I'm getting
a lot of feedback, and it appears that a lot
of your listeners may have agreed with many of the
points that Curtice woman, and a lot of your listeners
are probably thinking, what would happen if this was a
one and one between Curtis Leiva and Mamdani in a

(02:06):
different universe. But that wasn't the case last night. Last
night was a case where he had three candidates that
were all interviewing for that same job. Mam Donnie. Look,
I know your listeners don't want to hear this, but
he has incredible stage presence. I told you yesterday. I
told you yesterday that he was critical for Governor Clmo
to look at that camera and to speak directly to
New Yorkers. And something that Curtis Lya and Mamdani did

(02:29):
was that they were able to look at the camera,
no matter what the question was, look at the camera
and answer directly to New Yorkers. And I think that
often Governor Clmo found himself speaking to reporters as if
it were a press conference. On presence. On stage presence,
Mamdanni wins. Mamdanni wins because he was able to deflect
on absolutely everything. I've never seen anything like. It's very

(02:51):
difficult for Curtis Leiwa and Andrew Cmo to debate someone
who has changed every single position on prostitution. I never
said that on Israel, I never said that on Gifted
and Talented programs. I never said that. On every single
aspect of misdemeanors, getting rid of them and closing prisons.
Never said it. So it's very interesting to see how

(03:13):
much sumly minimum Donni has become a moderate, become a centrist,
and has disavowed things that are online that he has
said repeatedly during the campaign and really propelled his projectory
into where he is today. Now he disavows ever saying
any of these things. And it's very interesting to see
now how he appreciates the police, how he had to

(03:34):
speak to Jews to understand the problems that Israel has faced,
and now still won't condemn globalizing into fat and tehamas
to put their weapons down, but speaks in such a way,
in such parables and such lofty language that makes you
forget that these things are available for us to actually reference.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Yes, absolutely, and that's where I thought he got bloodied
up just a little bit. And that was on the
point you just brought up that he he didn't disavow
saying that there Israel shouldn't be a Jewish state, and
he didn't disavow saying that he once was supporting globalized
in Fatata, And so I don't I thought he lost

(04:14):
some points on that. And we'll see if it affects
any of the Jewish voters, because the poll show he's
getting half of the Jewish vote in New York, which
is incredible to me.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
He's getting a lot of Jewish supporter And again we
talk about it. The Jewish vote is not a monolith.
You have generational divides. You have practicing Jews versus non
practicing Jews. You have folks that have no very little
connection of any to the plight of Israel and what
Jews have experienced, and they have no problem with hearing
some of the things from Mamdani supporters regarding Israel, cloaked

(04:47):
under the auspices of being anti Zionism. But quite frankly,
when you sit down and think about it, when you
say that you're okay with you getting rid of Israel
and Jews, this is a problem. And no matter how
much you look at the car and how passionate you
are with your cadence and how you want to let
us know that you care about it, each and every
New Yorker should live and in affordable city. I'm like, God, really,

(05:11):
he's give me a break. I mean, I can't believe
that people are holding this. I'm sitting there and I'm
looking at I'm looking at the question on experience, and
I think Governor Cuomo noted it out of the park
by far. The most experienced candidate, and it was we've
heard that line before. He practiced it. It was great,
Like a great actor he is. He came back and said, well, lie,

(05:32):
what I like an experience, you like an integrity, and
you can never make Oh my goodness, gracious it was.
It was perfect and in not the Governor Como off
a little bit. We has to remember the next time
around that line is gonna come like it comes every
single time. I would go in there like the attorney
that he was. You're gonna hear assaults on my integrity.
You're gonna hear assaults. And none of this hides the
fact that the assemblement has a staff of four doesn't

(05:53):
have the experience to be the executive of the most
important city on Earth. And I'll tell you this. What
I didn't expect, and I told you I was concerned
about this happening. Was Curtis Lee WI attacking Governor Clomo
the way he did yesterday. If you consider that the
Socialists are the enemy, having Curtis Lee will go in
for the juggular on Cuomo all night yesterday made Cuomo

(06:13):
be on the defensive, not only by some of the
questions that were coming in from the moderators, who did
a good job. But quite frankly, when you're alleging investigations
that the governor says do not exist, but you bring
him up again and again and again, the governor's offending
himself against the moderators. He's offending himself against Momdani all night,
and then he's defending himself against Steelo. So when you're explaining,

(06:34):
you're losing. And it was very tough for Governor Cmo
to get in the points that he wanted to make
when he's getting assaulted by everyone up on that stage.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
By the way, I took note of your first answer
when I said, I thought just because he didn't take
any incoming. Curtis Leewa won the debate, and your answer
was interesting. And anytime somebody says interesting, it's usually I
don't agree with you at all. I don't even know
where you got that, Nourtis.

Speaker 4 (06:59):
Curtis Quinton says New York. I mean, what are we gonna?
What is there to say? The guy knows New York.
The guy knows every detail of New York. What I'm
concerned about it a lot of your listeners are concerned about,
is these poll numbers.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yeah, absolutely, numbers still have him.

Speaker 4 (07:11):
That concerns me. So I'm sitting there thinking Curtis is
an amazing guy, would be a thousand times better than
any socialists, But the poll numbers show that he's exactly
the number that's keeping us from beating socialism.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
In November, the.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Moderators didn't do him any favors either, of which I
thought was kind of embarrassing on their party. They were
ignoring him to the point where I had to keep saying, hey,
guess what, I'm here too. Thanks so much, It was
great to talk to you as always.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
J C.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Polanco, political analyst and University of Mount Saint Vincent assistant
professor and attorney. Still to come brain implants that can
help the blind see and the paralyzed walk again. Futurist
reporter Kevin Sarelli tells us about Elon Musk's Neurolink when
Saturday Morning continues.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Back now to the wo R Saturday Morning Show with
Larry Minty.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Well, it is a modern day miracle made possible by
Elon Musk. Futurist reporter kevin'sreally tells us about Neurolink, and
I've talked to you about this before Kevin, it's fifteen minutes, right,
and with that you're going to learn something you didn't know.

Speaker 5 (08:18):
Yeah, it's it's like I always say, come down my
rabbit hole. And now we've got a bunch of episodes.
I'm like, we talk about robots in one episode, and
then we talk about you know, civilization, starter kids, and
then I'm interviewing an astronaut and it's quick conversations. And
I will say, I'm always thinking to myself, I do
wish I had more time. But the thing I'm upset

(08:39):
with today, Larry, as I'm driving back from Penn State,
I was speaking at my alma mater, and I gotta say,
I love pet State. I mean, it is a beautiful
campus this time of year.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
But did you say goodbye to James Franklin the football coach?
Did you see him?

Speaker 5 (08:52):
Well, it's all actually, you know, you can break some news.
As I be sarcastic now, I said, listen, if you
guys want to fire me and get me a fifty
million dollars, but gladly, gladly take it. You know, like
what the heck is going on up there? But uh,
but I love that place. It's it's happy Valley for
a reason, man, But I got my girl stickies.

Speaker 4 (09:14):
Enough of that.

Speaker 5 (09:14):
Promoting the show Hello Future. So I remember when I
was a kid, and I remember you would walk down
the street and you'd say that person had a nose
job or other work done, or that person oh ay,
well okay, well you know, okay, I mean whatever.

Speaker 4 (09:35):
So, and I'm gonna be not.

Speaker 5 (09:37):
Crass on your program because it's still early, right, so
we maybe that person has more time. I look forward
to the day where we're saying, has that person had
a brain job? Has that person had a brain implant?
Because these micro chips and elon musk and neurallink and
everything that's happening, I mean, the future is here. Uh
there's you know, we can talk about them. We'll go

(09:58):
into it on the show about you know, the long
term implications of having bad actors like China and Russia
controlling the chips that are going to be implanted into
our brains. But in the short term, I mean talk
about a medical miracle to be able to see someone
who's lost a limb be able to have a brain
ship and they're able to use their prosthetic arm immediately,
or they're able to regain speech and be able to

(10:20):
communicate be a computer. I think that's an awesome, awesome
thing for these people.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
Absolutely. We talked about this at length back when they
were Elon Musk was getting just railed when they were
going after him, when they were they were wanting they
wanted him to be hung by his feet in the hall.
And what I said was, this is a guy that's
going to help the paralyzed walk again, he's going to

(10:48):
help the blind. See, he's not a villain. This man's
not a villain because he's trying to cut the government.
He's a miracle worker. And this is the primary example
of that. Please talk a little bit more about it,
because I think this is extremely important topic because this
is the future and it's not that far away.

Speaker 5 (11:09):
No, it's already here. And so I think, you know,
my dad just had heart surgery, he had stins place
in his hearts, and we live in a time now, Larry,
where that's not uncommon, you know what I mean. I mean,
no one blinks when you say I've got to have
my Kniehbra place or my hip orplace. And so why
don't we have that same preventative care on our brains?
And so especially when it comes to Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's,

(11:31):
we're on the cusp of these brain technologies being preventative
and to be able to get preventative health care for
our brain, which is the engine for our entire lives.
We already have these conversations, by the way, I mean
it dates back to when your mom and dad would
say eat your vegetables it's good for your brain, or
an apple a day keeps the doctor away, or even

(11:52):
a couple of years ago with those zenpech when that
conversation really took off. So this idea that somehow brain
ships are not going to be able to help us,
especially as a nanotechnology, and what do they ultimately do?
All they do if your brain is a bunch of
wires and you think of an electrician in your mind
going into the ceiling or the wall, and you see

(12:13):
all of the different colored wires and maybe one of
them short circuited. The brain ship essentially is just a fix.
It's an ability to get the wires and to jump
start the wires again, to connect to them, and to
be able to help get your brain back to functioning.
And so I think that's the very simple version of this,

(12:34):
but from a longer term perspective, you know, in the
next fifty seventy five, one hundred, two hundred years, Yeah,
there's national security systemic questions that should be asked. I
believe in innovation and an America democracy, and you know,
I want to make sure that American companies and innovators
are at the forefront of this and not bad actors

(12:55):
who are controlling the brain ships.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
But Elon Musk Company is far out in front of
this is aren't they?

Speaker 5 (13:01):
Yes, for sure? But there's also other industries supporting it.
And that's what I think from an economics and I'll
put on my old Bloomberg hap for a second. From
an economics standpoint, the data that is required to do this,
the manufacturing to build these chips, in addition to the
cyber secure networks and systems that this neuralink would have

(13:22):
to operate on. It's an entire new industry. And that
I really hope is what hello future ultimately gets into
and that inspires people to think beyond. Is that this
shift and the systems that we're all building for our
future is you know, it starts with, as you said,
a blind person being able to see or someone who's

(13:42):
who can't who can't walk being able to walk again.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
Kevin, I'm so glad we talked about this story today.
I was amazed at it when I first heard about it,
and people can learn more about it, I'm sure on
your podcast, Kevin's Kevin's really host of the podcast Hello
Future on the iHeart Radio app and he talks about
things like this all of the time, things that aren't
on the radar but should be. Kevin, it was good

(14:07):
to talk to you. Have a good weekend.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
Thank you, Lary.

Speaker 5 (14:09):
I appreciate you as always.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Jack Chittarelli, Republican candidate for governor of New Jersey, is
suing his opponent for something she accused him of during
a televised debate. Jack's going to be with us when
you're a coworker, treats you like you're their therapist, telling
you way too much about their problems in the workplace.
HR specialist Greg g and Grande will tell you what

(14:34):
to do now.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
More of the WOOR Saturday Morning Show and Larry Minty
Welcome back.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
At the New Jersey gubernatorial debate, Democratic candidate Mikey Cheryl
accused Republican candidate Jack Chitarelli several times of killing tens
of thousands of people because his company built a website
for an opioid company. I have never ever heard something
like this.

Speaker 6 (15:00):
I think the people you got addicted and died deserve
better than you did. I'll tell you, yeah, tens of
thousands here as you published misinformation. You then went on
to kill tens of thousands of people in New Jersey,
including child brook and I think you're trying to divert
from the fact that you killed tens of thousands of people.

Speaker 2 (15:17):
My first thought was she's desperate, and then that she
was told that she really has to go after him.
After that, I thought, can you be sued for that?
Because she accused him of Jack Chittarelli of killing tens
of thousands of people for building a website that would
never go over in court. And you know what, Jack
Chittarelli is suinger. Jack Chittarelli, Republican candidate for New Jersey governor,

(15:41):
is with us now. I was as you just heard
me talk about Jack, I was stunned. I have never
heard something like that before during a political debate. I'm
sure you were stunned too.

Speaker 7 (15:52):
Larry you're not alone. I was stunned. It was an unbelievable,
surreal moment. It was baseless, it was reckless. It's affamatory,
and I'll be filing suit. We're not David Lyne. All
throughout this campaign, the whole campaign has been based on
a stack of lies, her disdain for the president, that
she flies a helicopter, none of which is going to
fix New Jersey.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
But she's not getting away with this one.

Speaker 7 (16:13):
We're getting an advisory opinion from ELEK, which governs campaign
finance in New Jersey, and as soon as we have
their decision, we'll be filing our suit.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
I'm getting tired of these polls, Jack, They're all over
the place. They can't make up their mind if you're tied,
or you're behind, or you're ahead. I what is You've
been through this? Before you went through this four years.

Speaker 3 (16:33):
Ago, Larry.

Speaker 7 (16:34):
The ones that have me behind are most times the
university polls, which don't invest in necessary money. It's more
of a survey than a poll. But those have me
down by maybe six points or seven points. The same
ones that had Kamala Harris win in the state last
year by twenty and had me down last time by
twelve with a couple of weeks ago. All the other
polls that are more credible have this as a dead

(16:54):
heat or me with a one or two point lead.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
We're not taking anything for granted.

Speaker 7 (16:58):
I'll finish strong, but he's the last eighteen and we're
going to deliver a win if the debates proved anything.
No candidate has never been more ill prepared, unqualified, or
more desperate, no I have.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
I've been really frankly surprised at Mikey Cheryl because I
you know, I did the TV show in New Jersey
for a long time. I talked to you several times,
but I talked to Mikey Cheryl and I always kind
of liked her. This is a different person. I don't
know what she's trying to do, but she's just downright
unlikable because she's doing something that she's being told to do,

(17:33):
and that's going the attack against you, and I don't
believe that's naturally her. She's being something that she's not
and you always lose when you try to do that.
I'm sure you've been surprised at her tactics.

Speaker 7 (17:46):
I really have the extent of the lies, the consistency
of the lies, the recklessness, And then how about this, now,
I can't remember if it was The New York Post,
New York Times, be forty yesterday that the very companies
that she's accusing me being in bed with she was
taking money from. She took campaign contributions from the very
company she's accusing me of colluding with. So again, this

(18:10):
is recklessness, it's irresponsible, it's defamatory, and we'll be filing suit.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Let's get to your lawsuit, because I'm sure that you're
drawing it up right now. What are you going to
say in that lawsuit? And what are you looking for that?

Speaker 7 (18:23):
She tried to tarnish my reputation, my family name, and
she was reckless in the statements that she made. She
specifically said three times that I killed ten thousand people,
including children.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Larry, I mean, you've been at this business a long time.
Have you ever heard anything on that? Or we're not
going to tolerate it. We're going to file our suit.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
No, if I was on the news and I said
something like that, I'd be fired. I'd be It is
so out of bounds to say something like that. And
I notice now when she talks about it, she's backed
off of that. I have you noticed that? Yep, hey,
I have.

Speaker 7 (19:00):
But you know what I think really happened, Larry, she cracked.
I mean the pressure of the world now knowing that
she was punished at the Naval Academy. She's built her
entire political brand around her attendance at the Naval Academy.
We know now that she was punished. She wasn't allowed
to walk in the graduation name was not listed commencement
exercise program. Has changed her tune three reasons three.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
Times as to why.

Speaker 7 (19:21):
The fact that she broke federal law on stock trades
and stock reporting as a congresswoman, the fact that she
was trading defense stocks while sitting on the House Armed
Services Committee, and the fact that she tripled her net
worth And can't explain how who.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
Wouldn't know if they made seven million dollars in six
years time?

Speaker 2 (19:36):
You know, doing a midterm election, one of the things
that really wins or loses is enthusiasm or lack of
enthusiasm when you are out on the campaign trail. Have
people reacted to this? Are they as incensed as you are?

Speaker 3 (19:54):
They're incensed about this.

Speaker 7 (19:55):
They look at the Marsha Kramer interview on CBS where
she couldn't answer the question what do you do on
day one? They look at the Charlemagne interview where she
couldn't answer how they tripled her net worth, and they
just feel that this is summing.

Speaker 3 (20:08):
It's ill prepared and unqualified for the job.

Speaker 7 (20:10):
But I will tell you on my side, Larry, the
energy has been off the charts, and I'm sure you've noticed.
I'm even getting the endorsements of prominent Democrats around the state.
Not a single Republican has endorsed my opponent.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
No, we've talked about you a lot, and we've talked
about that, and I want to know because yous happened
to say many many times. We've played sound of you
over and over again. I'm gonna do this on day one.
I'm gonna do this on day one. I'm gonna do
this on day one. How many things are you gonna
do on day one and how are you prioritizing them?

Speaker 7 (20:42):
Well, Larry, I'm gonna do everything I possibly can on
day one. Here, the bad news is Phil Murphy's put
a lot of bad policy in place. The good news
is many of those policies were never codified by the legislature.
Oh they can be reversed by executive order that includes
the Immigrant Trust Directive. So on day one, Executive Orter
number one, no town in our state will be the
sanctuary said, and we will not be a sancturary state
that encourages illegal immigration and handcuffs our local police in

(21:06):
different ways. Let them do their job. Also, on day one,
I'm bringing everybody back to work. Try getting somebody on
the phone. Try getting your issue resolved. I think it's
embarrassing for New Jersey that you can walk into a
DMV office in Florida today and walk out an hour
later with your real ID. Try getting your real ID
in New Jersey. They're giving you an appointment in January.
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (21:26):
Well, I'll tell you what. You just got Natalie's vote.
When you were talking about the last issue, she started cheering.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
I mean a joke. Last night, I was trying to
get an appointment.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Oh my goodness, January.

Speaker 3 (21:40):
I find it embarrassing. This is what makes people lose.

Speaker 7 (21:43):
Faith in government, hate government, and hate their taxes. When
you pay a premium for something and the quality sucks,
you hate it. And that's the case in New Jersey.
But Executi voter number three, Larry, we're pulling out a reggie.
That carbon tax policy has been a disaster for New Jersey.
I could save three hundred, five hundred million dollars a
year for rape payers by pulling out a reggie. The
Democratic governor of Pennsylvania is not in reggie. The regional

(22:06):
greenhouse gas initiative. We shouldn't be either.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
Jack Chitarell, a Republican candidate for New Jersey governor. Always
great to talk to you, Jack, Thank you so much.
Good luck with the laws.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
Thank you, guys, appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
Coming up next is your boss playing favorites at work.
Greg g and Grande is with us next to tell
you the best way to handle that problem.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
Here again is Larry Minty with the WR Saturday Morning
Shoe Welcome back.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
Did you know that HR specialist Greg g and Grande
will answer your questions at go to greg dot com.
This week, Greg got two questions about bosses that play
favorites and co workers who share way too much about
their personal lives in the workplace. Greg is here to
tell us how to handle those workplace dilemmas. And so

(22:57):
you're ready, Greg, I'm just going to read a couple
of these.

Speaker 8 (23:00):
I'm ready, Larry. Let me first say sure that you
are my favorite radio host. Now go ahead with your
first question.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
What brought that on? Exactly?

Speaker 8 (23:14):
Well, it relates to your first question.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Oh, okay, here we go. I work on a team
where our manager clearly plays favorites. Certain colleagues consistently get
the best assignments, more praise, and more flexibility. It's starting
to affect morale. I'm torn between speaking up or staying silent.

(23:37):
What can I do without making things worse? And that
comes from your favorite radio host?

Speaker 8 (23:45):
Yes, exactly, and that was, you know, one of my points.
Let's face it. The truth is that like many teachers
have pets, many bosses do have their favorites. And that
can be a result of several factors. It could be
just sucking up like I was to you, Larry, but
it actually happens to be the truth. Or it can

(24:08):
be great chemistry that you happen to have with your boss,
or frequently it's really because that person demonstrates great job
performance and they make the boss's life easier. The boss
can always count on them. Now, a good boss shouldn't
let others feel like there is a favorite, but sometimes
it's hard to hide. And maybe none of those factors

(24:36):
are at play in your relationship with your boss or
how your boss views you. So what can you do well?
The person who wrote in said, should they remain silent?
Remaining silent is the best way to ensure that you
remain unhappy, So you have to do something because unhappiness

(24:56):
at work only leads to more resentment. As this person's
said that it's affecting morale and when you're When your
morale is affected, then it affects your performance. So at
the end of the day, you're having an adverse impact
on yourself more than you are on the company by
staying silent and just building up this resentment. So you

(25:16):
do need to say something. But speaking up and accusing
your boss of huns, fairness and playing favorites, that's not
typically a good career strategy either for success.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
You're not going to become his favorite. That way no strategy.

Speaker 8 (25:35):
But you know, if you speak to you, if you
ask to speak to your boss privately, and don't make
it about something your boss is or isn't doing, or
someone else, but about you and your career ambitions and
your desire to do more. On the team and more
for the boss to take on more and hire work

(25:55):
and asking for feedback about what you do well and
what your boss thinks you can do better and how
you can get better at it. It makes your boss
vested in your growth and development, which can improve the
relationship because now you're asking for their feedback and their
advice and their mentorship in a way, And so that's

(26:19):
one way to improve your situation. It's also a way
to find out if there's an issue with your performance
that your boss feels and maybe that's why you're feeling
kind of left out. But the only way to improve
this is actually to say something, And that's that's the
best approach.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
I love that answer, and I love this next question.
I love my co workers how it starts, But I
did not sign up to be their part time therapist
by lunch. I've heard about their ex, their cat's gluten allergy,
and their cousins third divorce. I want to be kind,
but I also want to get my work done. How
do I gently tell them without sounding like I don't care?

Speaker 4 (27:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (27:00):
Well, I think we have all worked with that person
who doesn't seem to have boundaries. It just won't shut
up about their personal lives or definitely shares too much
too frequently. They can disperse a breakroom faster than someone
microwaving fish for lunch. You've seen it, We've all had

(27:24):
that experience. Someone you do care about, then you should
tell them that you really do care and you enjoy
your conversations, but you really have to catch up on
a ton of work and can we maybe talk about
this later after work? Do you want to grab a
bite or a drink? And every time it comes up

(27:45):
at work, if you keep saying I really care, I
want to help, but maybe we can talk about it
after work or or you know, during lunch or something
that hopefully that they will get the message. Or again,
depending on the relationship, if it's banal banter about their cats,
gluten allergy, you can make fund it and then change

(28:06):
the subject. Do this enough times in that kind of
way with someone you care about, and eventually they should
get the message. And if they don't, then I think again,
as a friend over lunch, having a direct heart to
heart like you would with any friend outside of work
about you know, what's working, what's not working is always

(28:28):
a good approach.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
