Speaker 2 (00:22):

as always he will make sure that both hours are uploaded.
So again we dive into some additional content. And this
time I know it's July fourth or we're almost there's

(01:18):
basically we're on the cusp of it. Yes, we get
to celebrate that tomorrow, and we did. I wasn't a
history lesson. It wasn't your professor Weaver anything earlier in
the end with it, That's right.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
But it was at least an opportunity to.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Really get to talk about just July fourth and the
celebration of the birth of a nation and how crazy
it is and was, I should say, the greatest upset
in history, and I still contend that it is. And
there's something about what we were able to do as
a country, a group of farmers that came together and

(01:53):
united to be able to understand that, hey, we wanted
to be in control. And this is what we talked
about too, though, is that as humans, we love being
in control, but we don't want to be controlled right exactly,
And that's the dichotomy that happens.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
But that is part of it.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
As we do, as I mentioned, get to celebrate July
fourth and all of the.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Fireworks that's going on.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
And I'm not a big fan of the fireworks, but
I understand, Hey, this is part of it. We get
to celebrate it. And you've got the hot dog eating contest. Yes, yes, tradition.
It's tradition. You've got baseball, all of that going on,
Wimbledon's going on, and how how funny it's in Great Britain.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
It's in England, yes exactly.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
And unfortunately the Americans have not faired too well over
there these past few days. But it is a great
opportunity to enjoy America, enjoy the weekend. And it is
also falling on a Friday, so that's not a bad
thing when you look at it from that side of things.
But one thing that I am interested in doing because

(02:55):
I think a lot of times on July fourth, I
don't have like specific plans, and I know there's some
people that it is, Hey, we've got these plans.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
We're doing this.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Like my son is in town from Providence, Rhode Island,
where he has a job up there working for titleists,
and he's been there for the past six months.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
And loves it. As far as his job.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
He's still trying to get used to the Northeast. Yeah,
it is a little bit different, but he's down here
this week and I mean he's got plans already just.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Boom boom, boom, boom boom.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
And he's been that way for quite a while on
July fourth, and I've never been that way that.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Oh, I've got to have specific plans.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
Now.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
When I lived in Atlanta, I would run the Peachtree
road Race each year, so that was fair city though. Yes,
that's right, and I know there's opportunities you know around
here too. But from your perspective, I mean, do you
have specific plans that, Hey, we're getting together with family
everybody July fourth.

Speaker 3 (03:47):
This is what we do each and every year. This
is our tradition.

Speaker 5 (03:50):
I am happy to just sit at home, that is,
and that's me, just sit a nutshell outside of July fourth.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
So if I do have plans, please let me know
well in advance.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Exactly, because you have to prepare yourself for Yes, no,
I do get that as well.

Speaker 3 (04:06):
The one thing though, though I am.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
I think my wife Julian and I think we're going
to go play golf tomorrow, Yeah, late afternoon golf round.
I think we're going to do that. But also the
other thing that I do want to do, and I
used to love going to the movie theaters. Now just
over the years, I don't go as much. I think
the last movie I've seen two movies in the past

(04:28):
probably three years in the movie theater. Yeah, Gladiator too,
some huge fan of Gladiator, and then Maverick, the sequel
to Top Gun. So i want to go see F
one with Brad Pitt, and I've heard really good things
about it, and I'm more interested in and I'm not
trying to say that, oh, because I've got this director's view,

(04:51):
because I've done a few documentaries, you know, all of that.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
But I do view it from a little.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Bit different lens because I'm just intrigued about how these directors,
how they because I'm doing documentary. So it's a little
bit different now, Framing different, framing is different, all that. Now,
I did get my first taste of it in terms of,
you know, embedding a film crew with a firm and
men's basketball team and so we are capturing live action
and you know, and I'm trying to look at, Okay,

(05:16):
how can we capture it in a different angle, different
vantage point, you know, all of that.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
And you know, so when I've.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Read about F one and what they've done in terms
of and I've listened to some podcasts with Brad Pitt
and him talking about it, I mean, it is insane
what they were able to do with putting cameras on
these cars, and how Brad Pitt was trained to drive
these cars, you know, so these aren't stunt doubles very
similar to that's you know Tom Cruise has done where

(05:44):
he's doing all of his stunts and all of that,
and how even in some of these F one races,
I mean, they're actually there at the actual race and
F one gave them You've got ten minutes to do
your filming before this race starts, and so they have
to be out there. They're on like a ten minute
schedule and have to get their filming done.

Speaker 3 (06:06):
So I'm like, that is just insane.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
I want to see how they were able to put
all of that together because I think there's something that
it's got to be for me. It's very intriguing, and
it's July fourth, it's action packed, it's all of that.
So it's something that I'm trying to talk Julianne into doing.
To go see this movie. Now, you totally should. I
didn't realize all of that. That's incredible.

Speaker 5 (06:28):
I've shot enough stuff myself solo that I'm like, dude,
sometimes it takes me ten minutes to figure out what
I want you know exactly, but then't to think that. Okay,
all right, No, I'm the director, so I got to
make sure the cameraman's on. I gotta make sure the
sound guy's on. I gotta make sure that the cameras
are working. I got to make sure that the crew.
There's a million moving parts, and I have to make
sure that I get my shot that I need ten minutes.

(06:50):
And if I don't, there's on this scale, there's one
hundred grand blown.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
That's right, the money that could be lost if they
don't get it right. And Bradton talked about they had
some situations where they didn't you know, and so they
had Plan B that had to be in effect, and yeah,
you know, so you have all of these contingencies that
are in place just in case, because guess what, life happens, right,

(07:14):
life happens, you know, the biggest issues. You just gotta
make sure at least the record button has been pushed,
you know, because that would be devastating. But I'm I'm
trying to talk Julianne into doing that. So hopefully if
she's listening.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Okay, let's let's go, babe, Let's let's let them. Let's go.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Saturday Sunday, whatever it is, and let's go see F
one because I'm excited about that. Anybody, if you have
seen it, let me know, give us a call, join
the conversation. Eight six four two four zero five four
eight zero. Again that number is eight six four two
four zero five four eight zero, because there's also with
a movie like that, I think you need to see

(07:52):
it in the theater to get the real effect. And
I know even imax is and even better that are
viewing opportunity. So again, if anybody else out there has
seen the movie, let me know your thoughts. Eight six
y four two four zero five four eight zero. As
we're going to be moving fast through this hour. Coming
up in the next segment, we do have Brian Kite,

(08:14):
author of Dailydiscipline dot com. He's going to be talking
to us. He's the coach to coaches and building behaviorals
that behaviors, I should say that to help to improve
performance not only in sports, but also in life and
some of the things, especially because I want to talk
to him about trades. Oh, and we've been seeing a

(08:36):
lot and especially more so on the NBA free agency side.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
I mean the time of the year. Yes, it's time
of year, we've seen some trades, and.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
This is something we've talked about before, just from the
perspective of how crazy it is that in sports we
have trades, right that you just one day you get
a call from your agent and or you see it
on social media.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
That's the worst side.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yeah, like the woes woes drops it that you're getting
traded and you're like, what wait a second, and the
upheaval that could follow that, and how the E plus
R equals zero event plus response equals outcome equation applies
to that. So I'm definitely looking forward to talking to
him in reference to that and how it all comes together.

(09:20):
But right now, let's head out to the Eagles hotline
eight six four two four zero five four eight zero,
the Richmond Weavers Show.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Who's this.

Speaker 6 (09:29):
Ritch Tray?

Speaker 7 (09:30):
What's going on?

Speaker 3 (09:31):
What's happening? Mister Vin dene King.

Speaker 8 (09:37):
Well man, I ain't seen that F one movie but
forty years ago today I did go see Go Back
to the Future movie.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
That's on ot D.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
You've already stole the thunder Chad, Thank you, sir.

Speaker 6 (09:51):
Yes, maybe my question is if you had ABYSS sports,
I don't know what game.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
What would you pick?

Speaker 7 (10:03):
Who would you go bet on? I don't know that
was on the takeover. I mean the other guys on
the other show in this morning was talking about this.

Speaker 2 (10:11):
Okay, which sporting event would I go bet on?

Speaker 7 (10:16):
I might have to say to make the money, you know,
the Corrus Society.

Speaker 5 (10:20):
Like this, dude, Patriots Giants super Bowl that year that
I'd bet on the Giants?

Speaker 3 (10:24):
You would bet on that one? Yeah? Okay, who saw
the Giants coming in and winning the undefeated? Paper? But
that's my.

Speaker 5 (10:30):
Only I'm like, I'd have to be the only one betting.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
I feel like.

Speaker 7 (10:35):
If you have wild betting and you go play, you'll
bet at halftime we how much you're gonna?

Speaker 4 (10:40):
Wait?

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Well, all right, so Chad, what was your sporting event
that you wanted to go bet on?

Speaker 7 (10:47):
Oh? Man, I will say the Tyson Douglas fire that night.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
Yeah that's a good yeah.

Speaker 7 (10:54):
Rick on that. Yeah that everybody picked us the win.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Well, so see, there is the what I feel that
as a society we gravitate towards these Now we're talking
about money, but as a society, especially in sports, we
gravitate towards these underdog stories, these upsets, these Cinderella stories
and that's why we continue to love sports chat.

Speaker 7 (11:21):
Oh yeah, yeah, you're right man with us, I just
thought it. They don't say like it's been forty years
as back to the future, come out. Man, that's been a.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Long time year dating everybody now, Chad, Yes, so I
do appreciate that. Yes, Chad, thanks for the call, my friend.
You call any time, and you have a great Fourth
of July.

Speaker 7 (11:39):
You rich Man, we'll do over the weekend. Man, we're
gonna go shoe shopping. Man, We're gonna get some of
them steel Toad basketball Angel rees shoes. So you know
Osha has regulated and all brick layers must wear safety shoes. Hey,
you got steel Toad.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
That's right. I appreciate it.

Speaker 7 (12:02):
I'll let myself out, rich I'll weekend.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yes, sir, appreciate it. Brother.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Yes, and there's a guy who knows, Hey, I'm done.
I'm letting myself out. I'll exit out on my own accord,
right there, Chad, the vinding king and to his point,
with these still toad boots for the brick layers.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
Hey, as we've talked.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
About, there's good and bad, and we know Angel Reese
can struggle from a shooting perspective, but she makes up
for it because she gets her own rebound and so
numbers her up significantly. And that's one of the reasons
why people, I I they try to make fun of her,
but remember she is a hell of a player, you know,

(12:46):
all all of that.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
But she is professional.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
But I do think there's something though too about though
with the w n b A and how this divide
that they have this good and bad angel versus Kaitlyn Clark.
Are is it the WNBA players versus Caitlin Clark Again,
that's still driving viewership for the WNBA, But unfortunately, I

(13:12):
think there's times where some of these WNBA players are
the butt of jokes at times and try to make
fun of it. And that's what we talked about it
in the first hour. Just from a social media side
of things, I mean, there's good things that can come
out of social media, but there's also some challenges that
can happen as well.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
And we talked about Max Homan of the.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
PGA Tour and his decision to step off of social media.
So if you want to go listen to that, just
make sure you listen to where you get your podcast,
and again maybe even through the iHeart Radio app because
we also coming up after Brian Kayite, I do want
to talk about something with we mentioned it yesterday and
Delvin who called in and brought it up with LSU

(13:54):
and exploring the opportunity of putting sponsorship patches on their jersey, right,
And I do want to talk about that, especially with
what we're seeing with different uniform combinations that are out
there right now from colleges, especially on the college football side,

(14:15):
and when you look at like what Tennessee is doing,
and then you also look at what Oregon does with
their uniforms and how much we value in tradition with uniforms,
and how things are changing and revenue streams are going
to be very important moving forward for some of these colleges.
And that's why it's it's hard for us to digest

(14:38):
that as college fans because we know the NFL is
big business, but we don't see all of these crazy
combinations from uniforms. I mean, now we know the color way.
We do know that you know they have you know,
some of those, but it's not from a way of
potentially making more money. Now maybe it is. I mean

(15:02):
I think there is a scenario that plays out, you know,
so many times the answer is just money, right, Yeah, there,
I mean, there definitely is that. But I have some
thoughts on what we view and how we're viewing things
in college athletics, and especially when you're starting to look
at sponsorship and paying these players, and I'm realizing history

(15:28):
is just repeating itself. Oh and I've got some good
information to share just how much history we have in
this whole world of pain and maybe directly or indirectly.
So this is not something new that we're just coming
up with, I can promise you. But coming up next,
we've got Brian Kite, author of Daily Discipline dot Com,

(15:52):
joining us as we continue this Thursday edition of the
Richmond Weaver Show presented by Engles Markets.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
Right after this.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Lie from the Ingles Studio in downtown Greenville, right here
on North Main Street. This is the Thursday edition of
the Richmond Weavers Show, presented by Ingles Markets. As we
are getting ready to head into July fourth, the weekend,
getting to celebrate America, the birth of a nation, and
as I've said before, the greatest upset in history.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
We love it.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
It's in our DNA again. We talked about it though
so many times. Try I know I just mentioned it
previously again, right, Hey, as humans, we love being in control,
but don't try to control us exactly. We have to
be the owners of our own destiny and owners of
our own responses. And that's why I'm excited to have
mister Brian Kite, author of Dailydiscipline dot com. And also

(16:44):
you can check out his equation E plus R equals
O event plus response equals outcome and it is absolutely fantastic.
Make sure you go to dailydiscipline dot com to sign
up and you can get a daily newsletter delivered to
your inbox each and every day. To talk about that,
and Brian, I know you're heading into July fourth, probably

(17:05):
jam pagged with family events going on and everything, But.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
I need to know. Are you a movie guy? Do
you like going into the movie theaters?

Speaker 2 (17:13):
Because I used to be such a movie guy going
into the theaters. I just haven't in the past few years.
But I really want to go see F one this weekend.

Speaker 4 (17:23):
Listen, I'm gonna say you, not only am I a
movie guy. I always loved movies. I grew up in
LA I was I was a movie guy. I am
a movie guy. Always happened as a consumer like I
grew up on like Roadhouse, Predator, Aliens, Classics, Right, Star Wars,
all the rest of them. Commando. I just I think
I sent a gift of Commando the other day to somebody.

(17:45):
But little known fact. I was also I was an
in the movies guy between after my first nights were
of college, before I went back, I moved back to
LA and I was in the movies for an entire year.
I'm actually in I was actually he got to be
in some stuff. I was in it. There's a movie
called Orange County with Jack Black. Oh, she got to

(18:07):
be in it, and wu I got stealed the entire
segment talking about some funny stuff there. But yes, the
short answer is I am a movie guy. I've been
on both sides of it. It's a blast. And I
saw F one and I will tell you all. Here
we go, run, don't walk, sprint to F one. It
is every day. It is phenomenal. It is so good.

(18:29):
I'm like, I'm literally I'm sitting in my chairer right now.
I'm sitting in my chair where I but I'd be like,
I'll do my writing, I'll do my work. I'm throw
I throw the Hans Zimmer get the soundtrack and I'll
put on the Hans Zimmer f one soundtrack. Man, and
it is Electric City. So yes, go see it in Imax,
though again, not see it on a regular film. See
it in Imax. It's worth the extra of five dollars.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
We were just talking about that too, and I think
Imax offers has to be a different experience for this
type of movie.

Speaker 4 (19:00):
Spectacular spectacular, Okay, I don't mind saying if if that movie,
if you don't like that movie, if that doesn't like
your fire, then your woods wet.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Exactly, and that's what can happen too many times in life.
I think the wood is too wet at times, and
that is something we have to contend with. All Right,
So I'm trying to convince my wife Julianne. Al right,
so hopefully she's listening. You heard it there, Julianne. You
heard it from Brian. He said, run. So we got
to run to it this weekend.

Speaker 4 (19:28):
To eye that Brad Pitt is in the movie is perfect, exactly.

Speaker 2 (19:34):
That's all I need to say right there, right, Brad
Pitt is in the movie. Awesome, all Right, we gotta
we're gonna have to have you back on though, because
I got to hear about some of these stories Jack
Black and all of that.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
Oh, yes, we got to dive.

Speaker 4 (19:46):
Into some of that. That's that's like the least of
them too.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
Oh I love that.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
All right, that might have to be one of those
where we pre record that, and that's that's only available
on the podcast version, right, so we don't have to
work about the FCC.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
All right.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Brian Kite is our guest author of Daily Discipline dot com.
All Right, Brian, one of the things that you know,
I know, it's the E plus R equals oh, event
plus response equals outcome. And the challenge is that too
many times we're trying to control the event or the outcome.
And I was thinking about this with all of the

(20:22):
things going on with the NBA. And this is not
just solely about the NBA, but it's just news that
is current right now with free agency and trades going
on and just the craziness because you know, you look
at sports and how players are traded. I mean, we
don't see other industries that do this, and the upheaval

(20:44):
that can happen for these players that it's completely out
of their control, and you know, just the the emotional
side and the professional side of trying to adjust some
of your behaviors based on that, and how challenging that
can be. Your thoughts on just how you know, being
able to apply that type of equation what some of

(21:04):
these athletes are going through, because I mean, you've talked
to these athletes, You've talked to these coaches who.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
Have been in a lot of these situations.

Speaker 4 (21:13):
Yeah, I mean, I was just on a I was
on a call literally earlier today with a coach working
with an NBA team, and you know, going through this
process of of really kind of on two sides, right
really or really maybe three? Uh, the the the how
to lead the players that have been there, like the

(21:35):
star players will have there. It's it's its own challenge
of of as a team transitions and you have to
say a star player, a couple of star players with
their contracts and what they're doing, while also trying to
keep the drive within those players to drive the team
forward after the contract has already been received. Number two

(21:59):
is in a greeting, picking right, picking and integrating new
players coming in. And then number three, what what the
dynamic that forms on a team, How how it changes
when you think about a team. The basketball team is interesting.
You know, with a with a with a football team,
the numbers are much larger and we kind of assume

(22:20):
a level of complexity. But basketball there's sort of this,
there's the size of the team is one where you
you kind of feel like if you keep your your
three mains, or you keep your two stars, you should
still basically have the same team. You have to see
we say things like oh the nucleus, Yeah, but but
I would just ask you this, right like, like I
look back to look at what happens to a marriage

(22:41):
when before kids, when it's just the two of you,
and look what happens? Does that? Does that Does the
nature of a marriage change after people have kids, especially
if they have more than one.

Speaker 3 (22:51):
Yes, undoubtedly it does, no doubt.

Speaker 4 (22:53):
And so even if you just add even if you
just go from two to four people, as soon as
you introduce those two new people, or if you were
to slop the those two kids out and replace them
with two other kids, or you know, if you have
a split family like I have, where I had you know,
I had a mom and dad that got divorced and
then they got married again, and and they each of
my my parents had kids with their second husband and wife. Yeah,

(23:15):
and so I have siblings and and those relationships are
different because there there's a it's a different home. They're
being parented in with a new personality and different people.
So on teams, these coaches, what coaches are trying to
do is they're trying to lead the people they've been leading.
Right in the NBA, they're trying to lead the guys
they've been leading, and they've got their own uniqueness and

(23:35):
their own challenges there. They're trying to lead the new guys,
choose and lead the new guys that come in and
that in. But also it's it's a it's a shaping
but also a discovering of who is this team? What
is this team? Because I'll tell you what you could
have a you could have NBA team of you know
what rosters on NBA teams are, what twelve fifteen from
the fifteen?

Speaker 3 (23:55):
Yeah, fourteen fifteen yep.

Speaker 4 (23:57):
Right, So, like if you swap out seven guys, especially
if they're guys that are on the court a fair amount, one,
that's half of your bench, that's half of your tolf,
of your roster. But what that's not even remotely the
same team. Like, so if you're watching, you're like, well,
we got a couple of new guys, it's not at
all the same team because now all of the practice standards,
all the interactions, all the communications, all of the all

(24:20):
of the the sub social groups that used to exist
are all now different, and they're all restarting over again.
You might have a guy that comes in who is
an energy giver, or maybe he is. Maybe he's a
guy who works a little harder in practice, he doesn't
work as hard in practice as the guy that he replaced,
And all of a sudden, those stars are having to
make a decision of now I have to invest energy

(24:43):
to lead a player differently than I ever have in
my six years, seven years, three years in the league.
We have no idea how that impacts certain players, and
so you know, there's this false expectator. I think people
would be shocked. I think it will be shocked at
how often in the professional leagues of the major sports,

(25:04):
coaches and even players are I don't want to say guessing,
like that's probably ever. You know, it does happen right
where there are some guesses, but where they're literally like
trying to figure out what to do no doubt, Like
there's either there's this idea that in the pros that, oh,
we know what to do, that you only get to
the pros if you know what to do. Not not true,

(25:24):
Like they're they're like, I'm not sure what to do,
and I'm trying to figure it out. And sometimes they're
they're literally saying things like we're going to throw a
lot of stuff at the wall and see what sticks.
And it's at the height of it's at the height
of the profession. So it's it's crazy and there's sometimes yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:41):
And that's what I think is so interesting, is to
your point, we think just based on not only experience
and where you get to a certain level, that everything
is easier because you've had the experience. But isn't there
something about at that level it almost gets harder because
the stakes are hired. There's so much more focused and

(26:03):
especially with these athletes.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
I mean, it's it's.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
One thing to have a scenario where you're in a
corporate job and you might not be traded, but maybe
you there's downsizing and you have to go find a
new job, and can that be you know, equivalent to
getting traded to a new team but there's also I mean,
these athletes, they're in the spotlight. There's so many people

(26:25):
talking about their career and their next job and their
next move, and you know all of that and the
pressures that go along with it. So I think it's
even more important Brian that these players, these coaches, these
organizations have these principles in place that they can deal
with some of these issues.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
Yeah, and you know what, I it's interesting that it's
interesting you bring that up again sort of some of
the conversations I was having today with a coach and
been having with other coaches and in other sports. The
other thing I think people would be surprised to hear
is how often coaches and like, if there's a coach

(27:09):
listening to this, you can coach high school sports, or
you coach a college sport and you're you're listening, or
you've ever coached, you coach a you coach your kids
youth sports, even at the professional level, I think you'd
be surprised at how often coaches are afraid to set,
hold and enforce a crystal clear set of standards for

(27:36):
all of the fears that you and I would sit
and come up with, what if the players don't like it.
What if they don't accept me? What if they resist?
What if they and and you know what if you
know what if the star guys wanted to this and
da da da da and that. Here's what I would

(27:56):
say if whenever I see a team underperforming and they
don't have standards, and they're like, man, that team is
simply not operating. It's pretty obvious that team is not
operating according to out of standards ninety nine times out
of one hundred, it's because the coach won't do it
ninety nine times out of one hundred, and then they
will complain. And this is not judgmental of coaches. You know,

(28:19):
I work with coaches all over the place. But I'm
also like, I don't I don't not say the truth
because I'm afraid of how certain people are going to
hear it. What is true is true, and it's not
our job to say less than the truth because it
might make somebody else uncomfortable. Coaches included myself included, Yeah,
we get no credit from hiding for the truth. Then

(28:40):
coaches will not enforce the standards. They will be all
over the place, they will not live the standards they
demand of the athletes, and then coaches will have the
audacity to complain about generations of kids, and I don't
accept it. I don't accept it. If if you're not
living the standard, if you're not setting the standard, clarifying

(29:00):
the standard, and forcing the standard, and then here's a
big missing piece, if you haven't done a good job
of explaining and showing and demonstrating why that standard is
in that athlete's best interest. I don't want to hear
any complaints do the same. I don't want to hear
about the generation.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Yet do we do the same as parents?

Speaker 4 (29:21):
That was the thing under there is like every parent
will know, you know, parents, parents struggle to set and
hold standards because they're afraid they're kids. You know, there's
all kinds of reasons, like you know, they're afraid they
kids won't like them, or they they don't want their
kids to be this, they want to be that, or
they want to be friends, or it's too convenient, or
you know, the parents want some free time, and so like, oh,
I'm hired standards and I'm tired of setting them. And

(29:42):
I'm like listen, you know, like I'm a parent. I
got two kids, they're eight and five. I am in
the prime, like learning standard. I was just having a
conversation right before we came in. I was outside. I
was throwing the ball with my son, he's eight, kind
of got like a little cough whatever, and he watched
two movies today, right, the only couch. Not feeling awesome.
But he's like, yeah, he's at like on a scale
from one of ten, he's at.

Speaker 7 (30:02):
Like a six.

Speaker 4 (30:02):
Right, he's not not dying. He's not dying back there,
but you know he's not at at peak. Tomorrow, fourth
of July, wat's two movies. I said, all right, let's
try the TV off, and you have two choices. If
you stay inside, I'm giving you math, I'm giving you reading,
or you can go outside. Don't care what you do outside,
but you can. If you're inside, you're doing math, you're
doing reading. Otherwise you're going outside. They go outside and
I'm like, hey, if you come back in, I'm giving

(30:24):
you math or reading. Just well, like that's what's happening.
So you're either outside I don't care, play in the pool,
but get outside and go it's hot, then go be
hot outside, or you come in you're doing math of reading.
And they're like they don't. They didn't really like any
of those options, of course, but it's not about whether.
It's not about whether they like the options, right, Oh,

(30:44):
why My daughter's like, you know, why don't you? You
don't you don't let us watch our eypad as much yet? Correct,
that's absolutely correct, And I don't like that. I bet
you don't. If I was five, I wouldn't like it either.
But I'm forty three, and my job is to lay
this out, so you know, this is the stuff that
if the standard matters, you set it, like if that's
all there is to it, Like, if the standard matters,

(31:05):
you said it, and if you if I hatle it poor,
if I'm a jerk for my kids, I yell at
them or I'm mean about it, you know, that's one thing.
But setting the standard and forcing it, teaching it, coaching
and holding it. Letting my kids be a little frustrated
that I'm not giving them a lot of slack with
this particular one. I tell them all the time, like, look,
your life is wonderful, like NBA player, your life is wonderful. Yeah,

(31:26):
I'm holding you to this standard, okay, in this setting,
like I'm not asking you to give up your forty
million dollars a year contract. I'm not asking you to
give up your six million dollar year contract. I'm what
I'm saying is if you want that and you want
to keep it, and you want to be in good
standing here, then you have to do these things. I'm
not asking you to slum it. That's what I'm telling you.

(31:46):
This is the standard, and you have a really good life.
Asking you to do this does not diminish your life. Yeah,
and it leads us to championships.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
That's right, and that's my point, and you living up
to those standards can lead to even more positive out comes,
even from a team perspective. Brian Kite is our guest
author of Dailydiscipline dot com. Make sure you go check
that out and sign up for the daily newsletter delivered
right to your inbox. And so I do have a
question with that too, Brian, in terms of, you know,

(32:15):
it sounds so easy, you know what we're talking about
it and even like from a parenting perspective, and you know,
I'm looking in the mirror when I'm saying, hey, I
know I slacked off as a parent just because a
lot of the reasons that you talked about and there's
definitely some things that I wish I probably would have.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
Done a little bit different.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
But you know, the E plus R equals Oh it's
easy to talk about, but I know you also, you know,
talk about the B C D the blaming, complaining and defensiveness,
and you know how that can infiltrate into your mind
and some of the behaviors that you have, and how
that can affect performance.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
But is there a part where.

Speaker 2 (32:57):
You know, as humans, we do need to allow our
emotions to be there, but they just can't control us. So, hey,
you can be upset for a moment, you can be
mad for a moment like your kids, but hey, now
you've got to work through and you can't be in
that complaining mode or that blaming mode the entire time.

Speaker 4 (33:16):
Yeah, you know, I mean there's a couple of things
we could we could again, you know, this is the
kind of thing that that expands. But but you know,
as it pertains to the big things you're saying here.
Number one, emotions, our emotions are there. People say things
like lead emotions out of it. I understand what people mean.
It's a ridiculous statement to say because there is exactly
zero point zero part of our life where we leave

(33:38):
emotions out of it. Emotions are present in every second.
Emotions are present while you're dreaming for the record, everybody
like while you're sleeping, you're processing emotions. So just understand
emotions are part of everything. So it's not a matter
of disregarding eliminating. It might be seeing the emotion and saying,
I'm not going to value that as much right now,
I'm going to lower that. See like when I do

(33:59):
a work out, or if I have to tell somebody
the truth, I might be scared to do it, a
little nervous. I might be I don't want to be comfortable,
or I'm cold or I'm warm. That emotion can be there.
I just want to go do the action, and that
might mean valuing the action above the emotion. Number two is,
of course, things are going to happen that disappoint us,
frustrate us. We're upset, and so the default thing we do,

(34:21):
in the absence of self awareness, self discipline, or self confidence,
our default thing is when we don't like the outcome
or we don't like what we're going through, it's blame
somebody else. Explain about our situation and get defensive about
our behavior, and the really easy question for all of
us to ask is what has BCD ever helped you

(34:43):
produce in the history of your life? What value has blaming, complaining,
and defensiveness. Is there a single person in your life
who is saying right now as you're listening to this,
there's somebody else thinking, and you know it would be
so much more fun to experience from you would be
if you've got a lot more defensive. I love it

(35:04):
when I try to I love it when I try
to tell you something and then you immediately argue with me,
and you immediately tell you tell me why what I'm
saying is not true, and why the thing I saw
you do and the way I feel about it isn't
actually accurate. It's super fun to have to fight through
all your defensiveness. Crank that up more.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
Yeah, doesn't happen. That's what brings relationships down.

Speaker 4 (35:24):
Yeah, I bet you there's somebody who'd like to be
dealing with less of it. And I guess the thing
with BCD. I could go technical, but I think the
best appeal for BCD outside of like, oh, it doesn't
help me solve solutions.

Speaker 7 (35:36):
And we know that.

Speaker 4 (35:36):
We also know that pizza doesn't help us lose weight,
but we eat it anyway. Okay, what I would say
for BCD is this, like when I want to get
people's attention with blaming, complaining and defensiveness, is I say,
there's two things. Number one, BCD is the act of
pushing responsibility away from you. And if you're an adult,
my question would be why in the world are you

(35:59):
pushing responsibility away from you? And if you are, fine,
but say I'm pushing responsibility away as you b CD.
And number two is who wants to be known as
the BCD guy? Oh, here comes here comes Brian, here
comes DK. Yeah, he's always blaming, complaining and getting defensive.

(36:22):
What if that if that label gets on you? One
like good people, awesome people, productive people, great attitude people.
They don't like you, just for the record. They won't
tell you that, but they don't like you. Number two
is if you're a bcder, do you know the only
people who like that? Yes, the other people and b

(36:45):
CD with you. And if somebody is b CD with you,
that means that they're enabling you and they're just is
that you don't want to be liked by the BCD ers. Yes,
that's not who you want to be accepted by.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
You don't want to that loop.

Speaker 4 (36:59):
Yeah, like on seems this exists and in in you know,
in sports at the highest levels and all these different places,
like it's all over the place, and you know it.
It's like the goal is, like you want to make
your life a no BCD zone. It doesn't mean to
tending everything's fine. It's like, hey, you're saying this sucks
or I'm hurting here, or I'm really sad, or like
I don't like that that's happening, or I'm frustrated my

(37:19):
flight is delayed. But from there you got to be like,
is complaining about my delayed flight going to make my
flight take off faster? Is it going to make this
person closer to me? Is it going to make them
change their tune? Is it going to make traffic go quicker? No,
you're just going to be in traffic, but even having
more anxiety because now you're adding the fire of complaining
onto the fuel of traffic.

Speaker 3 (37:41):
No question. And that's why not that I.

Speaker 4 (37:43):
Having strong opinions about any of it.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
No, not at all, exactly. I can tell that's what
we're talking about. BK is getting out of that, that loop,
that BCD loop, and that's where I think the E
plus R equals oh can help you. Now Again, it's
not just going to be an automatic, an easy thing.
It's a process that you have to continue to work
at over time. And that's why I am enjoyed to

(38:07):
have you on each week to talk about it. And
I know you've got plans. We got to hit this break, BK.
But I can't thank you enough for joining us, and
you have a great Fourth of July. And I'll let
you know how F one is because I'm going and
if Julian's not going, I don't know, I'm gonna kidnapp
her make it go, Yes exactly.

Speaker 4 (38:28):
I'll leave you with this. I know you guys get
to get break. I'll leave you with this if you need.
If you want to look at a really good response
to this E that probably gonna get you your outcome.
Here's what you tell Julian, you said, babe, listen, if
you go to this movie, you get to have brad
Ted on the screen and Rich Weaver sitting next to you.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
Can't get better than that, Mike drop. Thank you, b K.
Appreciate it, brother.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
All Right, guys, that is Brian Kite, author of Dailydiscipline
dot com. Make sure you go check out his site
Daily disc aup dot com, sign up for his newsletter
and learn more about the E plus R equals. Oh,
it's a fantastic tool. It's not going to solve every
problem in the world.

Speaker 3 (39:09):
I do know that.

Speaker 2 (39:10):
I understand that, but it is something that we can
focus on because there is a lot of things that
are happening in the world of sports where athletes, coaches
are using all of this to better their teams, and
as fans, that's what you want, and then also do
you have that opportunity to correlate that into life as
well as We'll continue this Thursday edition of the Richmond

(39:31):
Weaver Show presented by Ingles' Markets. Right after this, the
Thursday edition of the Richmond Weavers Show presented by Ingles
Markets continues right here on one oh four nine Fox
Sports Upstate and we do have the text trivia question
for the twenty five dollars gift card to Autobil car
Wash here in the Upstate.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
So get ready, here's the text line.

Speaker 2 (39:53):
Remember this number eight six four triple seven ninety five
ninety three. Again that text line number eight sixty four,
triple seven, ninety five, ninety three, and so the first
person to text in with the correct answer will win
a twenty five dollars gift card to Autobil car Wash.
So here's your question. And yes, I probably fall a

(40:16):
little bit too much to basketball, but you're a basketball guy, Yes,
a basketball guy, and there's a lot of stuff going
on in the NBA right now, so that's part of it.

Speaker 3 (40:24):
So, but here's the question.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
In NBA history, there have been three players that have
won an MVP for the season, Defensive Player of the Year,
and a Finals MVP. Not saying all in the same year,
I'm just saying within their career. There's been three of
them in NBA history to win MVP, Defensive Player of

(40:50):
the Year and then Finals MVP. Michael Jordan is one,
of course, Hakeem Olajuan is the second.

Speaker 3 (40:59):
Who is the third. Who's the third.

Speaker 2 (41:03):
Player in NBA history outside of Michael Jordan and Akeem
Olajuan as the only players to win MVP, Defensive Player
of the Year and Finals MVP.

Speaker 3 (41:15):
A good question.

Speaker 2 (41:16):
I told you I'm diving in a little bit deeper
to some of these questions. Yes, exactly, Yes, we'll see
again that text line eight six y four triple seven
ninety five ninety three. Again eight six four triple seven
ninety five ninety three your opportunity to win a twenty
five dollars gift card to Autobil car wash here in

(41:38):
the Upstate. So the first person to text in with
the correct answer, and again the question is in NBA history,
only three players have been able to win the MVP
of the season, Defensive Player of the Year, and a
Finals MVP. Akeem Olajuan and Michael Jordan are two of them.
Name the third player in NBA history to be able

(42:00):
to do that, and you can win a twenty five
dollars gift card to Autobil car wash. All right, One
thing that I do want to talk about real quick
before we hit the brake and we've got some textures
texting in is what we're looking at in terms of
sponsorship on jerseys. Oh yeah, and how that's going to

(42:20):
potentially change. But the caveat to it right now is that, yes,
there's going to be some schools that want to do
this because they're looking for revenue streams. We know they're
doing revenue sharing. We know that's happening because of the
House settlement. But the question is, right now, technically schools universities,

(42:41):
they can't do it, even though they're starting to explore it.

Speaker 3 (42:45):
Guess what the hold up is The I guess would
be the NCUBLEA. There you go.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
Yeah, the almighty NC double A of course has based
on their rules and by laws, right, you can't do that.

Speaker 8 (43:02):
And so.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
This is just where the NC DOUBLEA. And that's why
I think it's time we move on. It's it's okay,
NC DOUBLEA. They were part of our history. They're part
of this chapter of sports of college athletics. But what
are they doing now? I mean, are they really embedding

(43:25):
the college athlete student athlete experience. It's more roadblocks than anything.
And I'm telling you this whole idea of you know,
where we're going in terms of paying players and all
of that, that's not going to go away, and even
some of the shadiness that happens.

Speaker 3 (43:43):
And I was reading about some of the early leagues
that have formed in.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
America and even talking about baseball, which we talked about previously,
it was actually established. The first league that was established
as baseball was back in eighteen fifty seven, so way
back in the day, and it was all about strict amateurism,
and they eventually in eighteen sixty nine had to establish

(44:07):
a professional class because the trend that they were starting
to see is that these clubs that were part of
this organization were secretly paining or indirectly compensating players to
come play for their clubs so they could win. This
is back in eighteen sixties, money talks.

Speaker 3 (44:30):
There you go, The answer comes back to money.

Speaker 2 (44:33):
We'll continue this Thursday edition of the Richmond Weaver Show
presented by Ingles Markets right after this visition of the
Richmond Weaver Show presented by Ingles Markets continues right here
on one oh four nine Fox Sports Upstate. As we
are moving through this hour, getting ready to celebrate July
fourth tomorrow, and make sure you get to your local

(44:53):
Ingles that got everything that you need for this Fourth
of July. And even beyond all the supplies that you need,
the ladders there are great. You can get to all
of the side salads that you need, potato salad, side salad,
I mean an egg salad, hamburgers, hot dolls, whatever you need, brisket, everything.

Speaker 3 (45:11):
There at Ingles.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
Make sure you check out your local Ingles and get
your Ingles advantaged cards, so you can save money at
the store or inside the store and at the gas
pump as well. Ingles low prices love the savings all right.
So we've had several people texting in, but no correct
answers or our trivia question, so this might be pushed
over into next week, I think so. So again, it's

(45:32):
the only three players in NBA history have been able
to win the MVP, Defensive Player of the Year and
Finals MVP in their career. Michael Jordan and Acheima LaJuan
are two of them.

Speaker 3 (45:44):
Who is the.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
Third text in to eight six four triple seven, ninety
five ninety three to win a twenty five dollars gift card.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
To Auto Bell car Wash.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
So that might be holding over until Monday, So rightfully, yes,
I think so. I'll tell you I'm okay with trying
to test these listeners like our investors out let's see,
I want you to dig a little deep here, smarter thing,
get smarter. Yes, And also we will be talking next
week a little bit more of the NBA free agency
moves that happened DeAndre eight and signing with the Lakers,

(46:15):
And there's also rumors going on right now that the
Kevin Durant trade Phoenix to Houston is still going to happen,
but there might be more teams involved, and we could
see a record seven teams involved in a deal. And
then how does all that affect Lebron James and the Lakers.

Speaker 3 (46:32):
So yeah, we've got a lot to talk about.

Speaker 2 (46:34):
And next week also we know college Football Big twelve
Media Day is happening.

Speaker 3 (46:38):
It is July third.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
So let's walk back in a little bit of history,
and you can skip the music Miguel and Treye because
I know we are running out of time. But in
nineteen sixty six, the Atlanta Breys pitcher Tony Kloninger hit
two Grand slams in one game. Who's the first player
in National League history to be able to do that? Again,
this is a pitcher was able to do that. Absolutely

(47:00):
And in nineteen eighty five, yes we did hear Chad
talk about it, the movie Back to the Future debuted.
That was a fantastic movie. That's one of those class
get classic, you just get jammed. You just watch that
whenever it is on. All Right, that is OTD and
that is this Thursday edition of the Richmond Weavers Show.
Presented by Ingles Markets. Everybody, have a fantastic fourth and

(47:23):
we'll talk to you on Monday.
