Speaker 1 (00:03):
Nay dram tonight.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Joju which as astronaut Katy Perry, Oh what you got
for free?

Speaker 3 (00:15):
Three things we need to know.

Speaker 4 (00:17):
Pope Francis was eighty eight years old has passed away.
The Vatican made the announcement less than a day after
he made a high profile public appearance on Easter. His
death will prompt a period of mourning after all, which
cardinals under the age of eighty will go convene to
pick the next leader of the Catholic Church.

Speaker 5 (00:35):
I just remember, like they.

Speaker 4 (00:37):
Go and then when the smoke comes out of the
building or something, they've picked a new guy.

Speaker 6 (00:41):
Yeah, they can't talk about it. It has to be
you got to pray and vote for somebody. You gotta
get two thirds of the vote, and then they say
that way, you know, God picks the next one.

Speaker 4 (00:48):
Typically takes about two to three weeks, so I'm sure
you'll be seeing this all over the news and social
media until they.

Speaker 5 (00:55):
Have made a choice.

Speaker 4 (00:56):
Now, with the economic uncertainty that we live in, right,
everyone is like, what do we do? How do we
keep the money that we're making? How do we make
more money? They say, most young investors are actually turning
to social media. Financial influencers, which they are calling finfluencers.

Speaker 5 (01:16):
Now experts are saying, well.

Speaker 4 (01:18):
It seems convenient to get your financial information on social media.
You have to remember most of these finfluencers aren't always
certified financial planners or formally trained, and may make it
harder for you to know whether or not you can
actually trust their information. Do they actually know what they're
talking about or are they just really good on social media?

Speaker 5 (01:38):
Be careful. It's like just a warning there.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
We check our phones, you guys, over two hundred times
a day, two hundred times a day, whether you realize
it or not. And there's been times where I'm holding
my phone, I'm like, why am I looking at my
phone right now?

Speaker 5 (01:50):
I don't need anything, and I try to put it away.

Speaker 4 (01:52):
They say it's borderline compulsion, and what they're calling it
is digital self harm. Turns out it's all by design.
I mean social media and smartphones. They're designed to sort
of hijack your brain with dopamine hits. You go on
social media, the likes, the memes, the headlines, those little
red hearts. Even without the social media, if you deleted
social media from your phone, you'd still be checking your

(02:14):
text messages going on the internet, and they say the
impact is real.

Speaker 5 (02:20):
Now there's a simple way to cut that down.

Speaker 4 (02:22):
They say, listen, you don't have to quit your social
media all together. That you don't have to quit your
phone all together. But they do recommend cutting your social
media use to just thirty minutes a day can lower
your anxiety, lower depression, lower loneliness. One study actually found
taking a break from the internet alone can actually improve
your mental health for better than taking antidepressants.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
So, aw, I'm sorry. I saw this picture.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Are several pictures of this artist took of people on
their phones and he deleted their phones from the photos.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
And when you see the photos, it's so sad. Just
look was looking down. It's just sad, isn't it weird?

Speaker 6 (03:03):
Though? Like I know, like if I'm out to dinner
with my wife, you should go to the bathroom. I
try not to look at my phone, and all I'm
thinking about is why am I not looking at my phone?

Speaker 5 (03:10):
Hard?

Speaker 3 (03:11):
It is really hard.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
Yeah, they say, if you are trying to improve this
area of your life, you can start by using no
screens first thing in the morning, turn off all non
essential notifications, switch to grayscale because it makes your phone
less interesting to your brain.

Speaker 5 (03:26):
Definitely put your phone away and out.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
Of reach during meals and conversations, and pause before your
scroll and ask yourself what am I actually looking for?

Speaker 5 (03:36):
And if the answer is nothing, don't use it.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
That's fun So yesterday, changes like that.

Speaker 5 (03:41):
Can make a big difference.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Yesterday, I sat on the couch all day and I
watched all of season two of nineteen twenty three, but
my phone was upstairs in a bathroom. I try not
to be on my phone at all, and here I
am watching a scene. I'm like, that looks like somebody
I know. I wonder who that is. I go to
grab my phone. I don't have it. Then another scene happens.
I go, I know, I know that actor. Let me
get my phone A look, I don't have it. I'm like, oh,
So I waited till the end of the day and

(04:02):
I try to remember what I was gonna look up.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
And I looked it up and I was right, did
you finish the nineteen twenty three Not yet? Oh, it's
really really good.

Speaker 5 (04:10):
It's funny because I really like that show. But it's
like I can take breaks from it.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
That's what I did. That's what I did, except yesterday
it didn't sound like it took a break from it. No,
we'll believe me.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
I watched everything else too. You know what, There's a
show I watched in the sauna. There's a show I
watched on the couch. You really go, I watch upstairs.

Speaker 5 (04:25):
And that's three things you need to know.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
It's by the way, it was Jill Marini. Jill Morini
was the guy that was in that was You remember
him Dancing with the Start?

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Did he win Dance with Stars? I doubt?

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's he was a friend of ours
a long time ago, and he's he's in nineteen twenty three.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
Darlene, Good morning, Morny. What's up.

Speaker 7 (04:43):
I have a question for John Jay. John Jay, I
think you kind of like me. I don't do social
media at all, Facebook, no, Twitter, nothing, and I think
you can be that same way, am I right?

Speaker 2 (04:56):
I could if I didn't have this job. If I,
let's say I worked at a bank, I would not
have social media. Really, yeah, really, you wouldn't be because.

Speaker 6 (05:04):
You like to know about stuff like filmed everything.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
Because I have this job. If I didn't have this.

Speaker 5 (05:08):
Job, I feel like you use it differently because it's job.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
I think if you had a job at a bank,
you would literally just use it as your scrap book.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
Maybe because you have this.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
Job, I would be different.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
I wouldn't be as obsessed with posting and being on
top of what's going because there's nothing going on in
the world right now that I don't know about.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
I'm on it. But is that does that answer you, Darlene?
Or No? There's no way, John.

Speaker 7 (05:26):
You know what if I was in you know what,
if I was in your type of job, you know what,
I'm sorry, I will probably have to quit because I
would be so stressed because I would have to use it.
I am extremely private in what you don't want people
to know. You don't say anything right.

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Right like I was. I was not going to talk
about my eyebrows. I was not going to post about
how dark my eyebrows were the other day.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
But I did.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
I just I just posted right now because because I
helped this woman, you know what I mean.

Speaker 7 (05:53):
So and even if you know what's so weird, even
if I'm like, gosh, I put you that looks funny
and sof but do you think I'm gonna go on
there or wherever you have it?

Speaker 3 (06:02):
To look.

Speaker 7 (06:03):
Now, you should trust your word.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
You should. It's very funny.

Speaker 6 (08:15):
Yeah, do not mess with the Powerpuff Girls.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
That is for real.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yep, Libras, Kyle, my Libra, you were totally spies in
a one kid show, obsessed with aesthetic matchmaking your dolls
and solving all the drama on the playground like it
was a soap opera, equal part style for you and
peacekeeper for my libras.

Speaker 5 (08:34):
That's so funny, accurate, Virgo.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Jan Jay, you were Velma from Scooby Doo before you
even knew how to spell jinkies. You took class jobs
way too serious. You had a clipboard for your chores
and you judged anyone who colored outside the lines. You
were tiny, tired, and two wise for your own good
very tiny.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
All right, if we can get to you as sign there,
I'll post it on our website, jountein Rich dot com.
How was Easter for everybody in the room? Was there
easter vibe?

Speaker 3 (09:00):
Like? How did how did the new basket go for
your daughter?

Speaker 6 (09:04):
Great?

Speaker 4 (09:04):
She didn't even mention anything about it, but she didn't
say she was disappointed, So I count that as a wind.
Easter was really fun for us. I feel like we
went up to Paysin and my kids were not excited
about it because the last last time we went up
to Paysin to see my mom, we had to go
see the Easter Bunny, and you know Easton with any type.

Speaker 5 (09:23):
Of mascot, he's not into it at all.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
So the Easter Bunny was at the egg hunt, but
he stayed far away from him, avoided him, so there
was there was no issues other than just getting nervous
about that.

Speaker 5 (09:35):
But other than that, I thought it was really fantastic.

Speaker 2 (09:37):
I got up in the morning with my wife and
you know whatever. I walked downstairs and go in the
kitchen and there's two Easter baskets there and I was like, man,
this woman just like I never thought about it. I
never you know, because camp is in Hawaii, but Jake
and Dutch were home. Like she still gives them Easter baskets.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
It's awesome, I.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Know, but like I, it just blew me away because
she never said to me, Hey, I'm going to get
Easter baskets. Hay and we lived. So when I saw it,
I was to surprises. Well I don't know if they
were surprised, but I was like, oh my god.

Speaker 6 (10:03):
Did you get an Easter bag ask a basket yourself though, no, no,
I took one of Kyle's ideas because my kids are
you know, my my oldest son is twenty one, but
he still wants to do an Easter egg hunt. My
daughter was home from college. She was way into it.
So Kyle came up with the plan for us and
we did it. So Kyle's like, you should get prizes
and have them hunt for Easter eggs with clues for

(10:24):
what the prizes are. So we had door Dash gift
cards because my kids loved at Starbucks in and out
and like a Visa gift card. So they all competed
to spell out a word to get the gift card. Kyle,
your idea worked great.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
They loved it.

Speaker 6 (10:38):
They loved it.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
They loved it. So they got to spell out a word.

Speaker 6 (10:41):
To get the gift card. And then once you win,
then you're out the spell out a word that you
find the egg and is yeah, Visa or you know
it could be door Dash was down.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
Each egg has a letter in it, and then you
open the egg and bring it and put it on
the table on top of the thing. And then the
last person to spell visa super cash.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
But everybody's working together. All the word yeah, finish.

Speaker 6 (11:02):
Giving trade letterers and all that stuff, and they even
traded prizes.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
But it was cool.

Speaker 6 (11:05):
It makes it for older kids, it makes it a
lot more fun.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
It was huge. What about you pay?

Speaker 5 (11:09):
Hey, My Easter was chill.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Actually, I had like two Easter parties that we did,
Like I have like my big family party that we
always do, and then I went over to my parents'
house with my nephews and that was fun. I got
to help like my little nephew's Easter egg hon and
open up their huge baskets. I did get a golden egg.
I got fifty dollars.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Hey, is it Easter where you guys dress up too
or something? Or there's something I remember you saying something
like your dad did something in Easter.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Oh well, so, like my family has like a really
long standing tradition where we do like an Easter egg
hunt for all the little kids, and all the little
kids like get all their toys and their stuff like that,
but we also give them gad gifts, which is always
gif Yeah.

Speaker 3 (11:47):
Your guy like gifts across the line.

Speaker 6 (11:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
Yeah, So it's definitely a staple part of my childhood.
But I don't think a lot of people would agree
with it, and.

Speaker 5 (11:57):
How we go with the gifts are like highly appropriate. No,
I don't want.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
To know if you could describe then the parents, because
it's always like the parents.

Speaker 5 (12:10):
It's always for the kids. What about the parents?

Speaker 1 (12:11):
So for Christmas we always do like we call it
hornswaggle and it's like our version of a white elephant.
But it's like three hundred dollars gifts and stuff like that.
It's like, we have a good time.

Speaker 3 (12:23):
You know. What happened to me this weekend? Get this.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
I don't know if I've talked about this on the
air or not, but I take a little testosterone once
a week, you know, because as you get older in
your thirties, you start to lose your testosterone, and so
I have to give myself a shot and I do
it pretty much every Monday, and I inse my butt
so I.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Switch butt cheeks right this Monday.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
This last week, I think I get to myself wrong
and apparently I hit what's called the sciatica nerve and
it was really very very painful.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
If you remember, I was limping. Yeah, last week that
was a limp because I tripped.

Speaker 5 (12:55):
We thought there was a real problem.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
In fact, you could see the limp in our running video.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
It was because of my sciatica, not because I fell
in the front yard. It was because of my siatica.
So I was it was, I was, it was not healing,
and I started googling.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
I was talking to my doctrine.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Apparently it takes like a week week and a half
when you hurt your sciatica for it to heal. So
on over the weekend, it was a beautiful day and
my son, Dutch, wanted to go hiking, and it hurt
for me to walk. But I was like, okay, I'll
go hiking because I'm gonna spend time. You know, He's
never asked me that before. So my wife and my
son and my son's friend we went hiking, and it
hurt when I was limping. And we went on this

(13:31):
pretty long hike and I was doing okay, but still
I was leading the pack, and then on the way
down different stories, something happened. So once we get down,
like they're way ahead of me, I can't even walk.
I'm hurting so bad. When we get done hiking, I
literally can't walk. I go I get home and I can't.
I can't move like I feel I feel like handicapped,

(13:51):
like I literally.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
Cannot get out of bed.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
I cannot stand, I cannot say it's and it's excruciating pain.
So I end up going to the hyperbary chamber. I
had going to cold punch hot up coplasche hot dub
cold pulasche hot tub. I go see my doctor again
and they're like, why would you go on a hike.
That's so stupid, Like I shouldn't have gone on the hike.
I guess right. So it's gotten a lot better in
the last two days. But I was like, I didn't
know how to get in here.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
That's how bad yourself. I'm like, that's how bad it was.

Speaker 6 (14:15):
It looks bad when we were doing the run, like
afterwards it looked like you were really but that was.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Because of the siataka and that dango put on top
of that. Then my eyebrows go dark. I got dark,
dark eyebrows, and that horrible. If I can't walk, like
even I was walking to the bathroom at on Way
at a restaurant yesterday, I had breakfast. I drove to
this place we usually walked for breakfast. We drove there
and go to the bathroom. This guy and I booth goes, hey, buddy,
looks like you're in some pain because what happened?

Speaker 3 (14:40):
And I go.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
I look at him and he said it with his
wife and kids, and go, do you really want me
to say what happened?

Speaker 3 (14:43):
He goes yeah. I go, I give myself a disastroon
shot and I hit and then I went hiking, you.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Know, gave me and then he like looks at me.
And then I walked into that. I lived to the bathroom.
I walk out of that like it was terrible. It
was really. I don't know if you ever hurt your sciatica,
but it is terrible, terrible pain that this mo. I
had to give myself the testosterone shop, but I did
it on the different butt cheek and it's fine right now.
So I think I can't believe you were able to
do that yourself. I've done it myself for five or

(15:08):
six years now.

Speaker 3 (15:09):
That's like, you need a friend for that. I don't
have friends.
