Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to KFI
A M six forty, The Gary and Shannon Show on
demand on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
If you're feel a little down, you haven't been able
to manifest happiness yet today, Well, you just want to.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Tackle the week, didn't you start?

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yeah? Eat that? Eat that Happiness's that right? Like you're
the little dog grabbing that copper tone bikini bottom. Oh,
I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
You started last week. I believe manifesting happiness and how
did that work?

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Fine? Did you manifest it?

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (00:40):
It was like Clovis, you can't just say it. You've
got to believe it.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
You do.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
It's like seek out and it turns out you really
got to believe it. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yeah, and you don't believe in any of that. Last
time I checked in happiness.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
You can't just.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Say words manifesting happiness and then you do it. You
have to actually manifest it, and to do that you
have to believe it to be true. He realized it's
more than just words, right, emotions. Yeah, it's all about
the mind, body, universe connection.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah, you're going down a path that makes me uncomfortable.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Well, that's what manifesting is actually pretty baseline understanding and manifesting.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Is that? How about we just stick to the facts.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
Man?

Speaker 2 (01:29):
What else is going on?

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Time for what's happening?

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Here are some facts.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Little nas X pled not guilty to four felony charges
against him.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
He has waived his arraignment. He entered it not guilty plead.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Judge is set his bail at seventy five thousand with
some drug related conditions. He's been ordered to not own, use,
or possess illegal narcotics. He would have to enroll in
an outpatient program as well, which is interesting because when
cops turned up, they initially thought he was high on drugs,
took him to a hospital, transferred him to jail, so

(02:08):
we learned earlier. Today's facing years in prison. Ellie County
DA charged him with four felonies, including battery with injury
on a police officer. Now, I don't know if Little
Nas has any priors, but those could all be reduced
right quick he was found. I'm looking at images of
him in tidy whities, white boots, naked otherwise with an
orange cone on his head, just enjoying himself out on

(02:30):
the town last week in West Hollywood.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Four in the morning on Ventura Boulevard. Oh, you're right,
it was Ventura Boulevard. My bad is he enjoy? I
know what told me West Hollywood about those images?

Speaker 3 (02:41):
True?

Speaker 2 (02:45):
There are there are wildfires that are burning threatening homes
in northern California and parts north of that. The picket
fire is burning in Napa County is almost seven thousand acres,
only about thirteen percent contained. This is in the Calistoga area. Specifically,
about one hundred and fifty people have been ordered to

(03:07):
leave their homes. There another three hundred and sixty under
evacuation warnings. They said a few hundred structures have been threatened.
There is also a fire burning in Dushoots County up
north of Bend, north of Sisters. In that area it's
called the flat fire. Crews have been seeing much of
the same conditions there as they have here, very dry,

(03:30):
very hot weather, but in that case. In Oregon, there's
about four thousand homes under various levels of evacuation notices,
including one thousand with orders to leave immediately because of
this flat fire into Shoots in Jefferson Counties, according to the.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
State, US military scrambled fighter jets yesterday to intercept a
Russian spy plane flying near Alaska. This was the third
time in less than a week that US forces deployed
planes after a Russian plane was spotted inside the Alaskan
Air Defense ID zone. This is a section of international
space just outside of US. This kind of Russian activity

(04:07):
not considered a threat. It happens all the time, but
you know, considering the situation, aircraft that enter the zone
are required to identify themselves to the US and Canada
for national security reasons. So this was a Cold War
era reconnaissance aircraft that was operated by the Russian military

(04:29):
that NORAD was able to id.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
Well, we got our first screwworm case. What is screw worm?
Screwworm is mostly a bovine related Was it in Clovis?
It was not Clouska burn sick burn Man. This case
related to a person that recently traveled to l Salvador.
Confirmed to be screwworm at the beginning of this month,

(04:57):
reiters so funny. Canada Waters reported last week a person
in Maryland contracted the parasite after visiting Guatemala. It's unclear
whether that report is the same case because it may
be Guatemala and El Salvador. The parasite is can devastate
cattle herds and is all over different parts of Central America,

(05:19):
including MEXICOA can destroy wildlife, it can kill household pets.
And they said it's a little parasitic fly known as
Cochleomeia hominovorax. They have an effect that's vast and devastating,
but in isolation, quite disgusting. That's quite a resume that
they've given this little worm. The females lay eggs in
any warm blooded animal, which then hatch, unleashing hundreds of

(05:44):
screwworm larvae. I've had enough of screw worm and lunch
screwworm because of their sharp mouths, things and burrowing that
can be compared to the motion.

Speaker 1 (05:54):
Can I have some celebration music. I'd like some celebration music.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Guys, guys, guys. The Pumpkin Spice Latte.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
It's back tomorrow, Starbucks, Paul Pumpkin Spice Latte. The PSL
returns tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
What is tomorrow? Tuesday? August twenty. I know that, but
is there a particular Is it like one hundred days
from it would be now too many? It's Starbucks wants
to make money. Tomorrow. That's what the day is.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Kenna loves her pumpkin spice. Here's a look at the menu.
Are we ready? Can we have some menu music or something? Okay,
Pumpkin spice latte, PSL, pumpkin cream cold brew.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
That's my favorite, iced pumpkin cream. Shy Chai. That's my face.
That's so good.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Oh, I don't know, Gary, Gary, Gary, Wait for this one.
By the pecan oat milk cortado boom.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
That sounds good.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
There's more, the pecan crunch, oat milk latte, the pecan
cold foam, the Italian sausage egg bite. They only get
into that pumpkin cream cheese muffin. What you guys, We're

(07:20):

us some muffins on the way, please if they still
have them, you know what I mean, they might sell
out of those real And then there's there's something no,
I'm totally gonna try. And then there's something called the
raccoon cake pop. Oh it is it is the cake pop?
A little raccoon face? Is it is?

Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yeah? What kind of cake pop is it?

Speaker 1 (07:43):
It's probably either chocolate or vanilla with a little raccoon face.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
I love a raccoon face.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
They're very mean animals, don't don't engage, but I like
them as a cake pop.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
All right, Morgan, Morgan Wall, You're like real, You're real
into this. I'm very serious about this.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Just in case, you know, just in case he has
a little room for you to crawl back into his bed.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
His grammy bed me, Well, it's a song. So oh,
I see what you're doing. Yeah. I thought you're gonna
make a joke about eating ritz crackers in bed.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
I eight crackers in bed last night and thought of
all y'all, and I thought, I don't care, Please don't
do that.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from kfi
AM six forty.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
Gary and Shannon KFI AM six forty Live Everywhere on
the iHeartRadio app. Is this from K pop Demon Hunters?
Hell Yeah?

Speaker 1 (08:42):
It is?

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Hell yeah?

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Is? I love that soundtrack? It's really good show.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
We are. We played the latest hits. It's understood, Elmer.
You don't have to say it out loud. Come on
a bunch of stories that we are follow today. President Trump,
talking about the government's new stake in Intel, says he
wants to do other deals like this. Right now, the

(09:09):
government apparently is going to take about a ten percent
ten percent share of Intel, and White House Economic advisor
Kevin Hassett said that move is part of an ongoing
plan that we could see other companies like that. Two
boys that were missing from a Westlake, Foster home last
week because of a were the subject of an amber alert.
They've been found safe. They were found yesterday in Vegas.

(09:32):
The technology this is a weird story. Cutting edge technology
could one day transform down syndrome. Researchers say they have
successfully deleted an extra chromosome in lab grown cells down
syndrome trisomy twenty one three copies of that twenty first
chromosome instead of two. It affects about one in seven

(09:55):
hundred berths in the US estimated quarter million people living
with downson. Scientists from me A University in Japan have
used Crisper, a DNA gene editing tool often described as
molecular scissors. They say they were able to cut away
the surplus chromosome in cells, not in humans, and it's

(10:17):
a long time before it would even get to that,
but it is a possibility. Cubs beat the angels four
to three. Yesterday, They're in Dallas to take on the Rangers.
Dodgers beat the Padres eight to two. They are hosting
the Reds. Dodgers hosting the Reds starting tonight.

Speaker 1 (10:34):
Well Morgan Wallin has joined a growing number of artists
who have taken a stand against the Grammys since the
early nineteen nineties. He has decided his Billboard number one
album will not be in the running for a twenty
twenty six Grammy. He's boycotting the latest album I'm the Problem.

(10:58):
Great album, by the way, it's I've got thirty seven
songs on it sat on the Billboard two hundred chart
for eleven consecutive weeks, the third time album has hit
number one on the charts. Now. He hasn't spoken publicly
about the decision, but he does have a controversial history
with award shows.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Well, he got in trouble if you remember twenty twenty.
This is idiotic to say out loud, but one of
the things that he got in trouble for was partying
with friends without a mask on during COVID. The other

(11:40):
thing was he got busted yelling out the N word
to a bunch of his friends. That knocked him off
the schedule. He was supposed to be a musical guest
on Saturday Night Live, was pulled from that after a
bunch of video surfaced, was later rescheduled TMZ. He also

(12:00):
had videos of him that they posted, and he's apologized
for all of it. That year, he was actually banned
from attending the Billboard Music Awards as well as the
American Music Awards and the Grammys. They said never actually
disqualified him from being nominated, and has since been welcomed

(12:23):
back to the American Music Awards and the CMA shows
and the Billboard Music Awards. But he did not like this.
He didn't like to be treated that way and thought
that it was an overreaction so against He hasn't publicly
come out and said any of that, but by pulling
his album from consideration, it says everything.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Yeah, I don't need you, I don't need your validation,
I don't need your consideration. Now he's not the first,
As I mentioned Drake. Now, I didn't know this, but
Drake has declined to submit his music for Grammy consideration
for several years. He also says that you know he's
tell he has told his fellow musicians that this doesn't

(13:04):
dictate s in our world winning an award, And it's true.
Most awards shows are for the people who put on
the award shows. It's very self knob slabbering and uh,
I agree with Drake, but I did not know this
part slabbering. Yeah, the family matters rappers. Criticism of the
Grammys began in twenty seventeen when his hit song Hotline

(13:27):
Bling won Best Rap Song What and Best Rap Slash
Sung Performance. That's not rap? The last time I checked.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
Which will Hotline Bling? And yeah?

Speaker 1 (13:42):
And he said actually the same thing during an interview
with The UH with a DJ from the UK, I'm
a black artist. I'm apparently a rapper. That is not
a rap song.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
No, it is not. That's funny. Let's see.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
The Weekend has had a winding history with the Grammys.
He has been snubbed. He has announced he would not
submit his work to the Academy. He will no longer
allow the labels to submit my music to the Grammys,
he says, because of all the secret committees involved in
the nomination process. Of course, Sinead O'Connor, you remember that

(14:20):
one Bruno mars, Yeah, it's pop.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
That's a pop song. Interesting. Bruno Mars told.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Rolling Stone that he has withdrawn albums before as well.
So some people don't like the establishment and they never will,
and you know who you can put at the top
of that list, creative people. Part of being creative is
saying f the establishment.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
I have noticed. It's not new, but I've heard more
often in these awards shows the refrain of we're all
artists and we shouldn't judge each other's art, or something
like no one's art is better or worse than anybody
else's art. It's all art, which I think is a
really dumb way to put it, because there are things

(15:11):
that are better than others. I think you get into
it and if you don't put it into specific category.
Take the Best Picture in the Academy Awards as an example.
There's as many as ten movies, and they're all wildly
different movies. So you can have not a great example,

(15:34):
you can have an Avengers movie in there, and you
can have a Shindler's List in there. Those are very
very different movies, and those being compared to each other
doesn't make a lot of sense to me. But you
can compare all of the Holocaust movies, and you can
compare all of the superhero movies or all of the
sports movies. I mean, you could do that and still

(15:56):
come up with ones that are better than the others.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
How's your adult theater coming along? Speaking of creative? Is
there an awards for adult theater.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
We see here? I don't know what you mean. How
would any there's a thousands of those shows. Oh, the
av awards. No, you're thinking of something different. Oh, I
just put an adult theater awards.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
Oh, those are for the adult adult Are there any
awards shows for the non sexy time adult theater productions?

Speaker 2 (16:31):
No?

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Oh, there should be okay, yeah, local theater awards.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
How what's that? What's that? Yeah? Ask nexus if you
can win an award?

Speaker 1 (16:47):
Okay, he's looking at me like I am cut off
and in trouble. How is your adult theater production coming?
And when are you going to announce to.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Us what it is? I don't Why is it a secret?
I guess it's not a secret. Then why aren't you
just telling us because you didn't care enough to find
out the first place. Well, it's it's in the weeds.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
Man.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
I don't know how to google adult theater Valley and
not get flagged. With boobs and other things I don't
even know about. So if you could just tell me
the name of the production, and then you could tell
everybody it's.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
Called Yes, are you ready? Yeah, it's called It Happened
on Fifth Avenue. Okay, that sounds familiar. It's because it
was an old movie.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
Okay, yeah, nineteen forty seven. Yes, good year Christmas.

Speaker 2 (17:40):
It's a there's some Christmas in it.

Speaker 3 (17:42):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
Oh, so who was in this? Charles Ruggles? I don't
think anybody that was a recognizable name.

Speaker 1 (17:53):
While rich businessman Mike O'Connor resides in Virginia, his luxury
townhouse in New York City appears vacant. However, in reality,
drifter Aloisious mac McKeever aka Gary Hoffman has been staying there.
Mac invites Jim, an unemployed veteran who has just been
evicted from a building owned by O'Connor, to stay at

(18:14):
the house without revealing he's squatting. When O'Connor's daughter Trudy
shows up as well, she falls for Jim and tries
to help him. That sounds like fun. It's a rom com,
isn't it?

Speaker 2 (18:27):
It very much is a rom com?

Speaker 1 (18:28):
Now are you going to hook up with this trudy
woman in the movie. In the play, oh, she falls
in love with Jim Oh the guy, the veteran. Okay, good,
because I don't want to see you making out with it. Yeah,
I don't want to see you making out with other
people again. Like we had to watch last time. I

(18:49):
was uncomfortable.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
You're dad and someone comes in. No, no, no, no, no,
no no no. I'm the he's a squatter. I'm the
homeless squatter breaks into the guy's house. Yeah, he's a
vagrant and he's a homeless hobo. As they used to say. Bum.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
Yeah, that's cool. That's very topical. You had a squatter
and your parents' property.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
Very different. Not anywhere near as funny.

Speaker 1 (19:18):
No, it was or romantic. But this, this sounds like
it's going to be a fun time. This is a
fun one.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (19:25):
Yeah. Some of them can be serious. This one is not.
This one is not. There's a couple of very serious moments,
but the majority of it is fun because the war
has ended, right the war is over?

Speaker 1 (19:36):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (19:36):
Yeah, yeah. Now there are songs, there's still some There
are no songs in this. It's not a musical. At
least the version were songs were featured in the movie.
I don't well, there's like a for He's a jolly
good Fellow, and there's like a Christmas Carol at one point,
but it's not there's no like original songs like Ley

(19:56):
Miz or something. Well, just a group singing and it's
not a good performance. It's not meant to be a standalone.
What do they have you wearing?

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Tell me it's not the onesie with the top hat
and the cigar. In the movie, your character, I believe,
is depicted in a adult onesie.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
All white, oh like long Johnson. Yeah. I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
You don't know what your outfit is yet. No, okay,
I'm not going if you're wearing a onesie.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
I do. There's nothing in our script that says anything
about a.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Onesie, okay, because we don't need to see that.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
Thank you all great? Tell me how it is. Are
you gonna shield your eyes? Tell me how the show
is spectacular? All right?

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Well we come back Motivational Monday. If you're having trouble
getting going, getting your engines revved up on this Monday,
we're gonna change all that for you when we come back.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
We see here? I don't know what you mean. How
would any there's a thousands of those shows? Oh, the
AVN Awards. No, you're thinking of something different.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Oh, I just put an adult theater awards. Oh, those
are for the adult adult. Are there any award shows
for the non sexy time adult theater productions.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
No, oh, like local theater awards.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
Okay, yeah, local theater awards?

Speaker 2 (29:15):
What's that? What's that?

Speaker 3 (29:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (29:18):
Ask nexus if you can win an award.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
Okay, he's looking at me like I am cut off
and in trouble. How is your adult theater production coming?
And when are you going to announce to us what
it is? I don't why is it a secret? I
guess it's not a secret. Then why aren't you just
telling us because you.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Didn't care enough to find out the first place? Well,
it's it's in the weeds.

Speaker 3 (29:41):
Man.

Speaker 1 (29:42):
I don't know how to google adult theater Valley and
not get flagged with boobs and other things I don't
even know about. So if you could just tell me
the name of the production, and then you could tell
everybody it's called Yes, are you ready?

Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah, it's called It Happened on Fifth Avenue. Okay, that
sounds familiar. It's because it was an old movie, okay, yeah,
nineteen forty seven. Yes, it's good Year Christmas. It's a
there's some Christmas in it.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Oh, So who was in this? Charles Ruggles? I don't
think anybody that was a recognizable name.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
While Rich businessman Mike O'Connor resides in Virginia. His luxury
townhouse in New York City appears vacant.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
However, in reality, drifter.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Aloysious mac McKeever aka Gary Hoffman has been staying there.
Mack invites Jim, an unemployed veteran who has just been
evicted from a building owned by O'Connor, to stay at
the house without revealing he's squatting. When O'Connor's daughter Trudy
shows up as well, she falls for Jim and tries

(30:56):
to help him. That sounds like fun. It's a rom com,
isn't it?

Speaker 2 (31:01):
It very much is a rom com?

Speaker 1 (31:03):
Now are you going to hook up with this Trudy
woman in the movie?

Speaker 2 (31:10):
In the play, oh, she falls in love with Jim. Oh,
the guy, the veteran.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Okay, good because I don't want to see you make
it out with it And yeah, I don't want to
see you make it out with other people again like
we had to watch last time.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
I was uncomfortable. But you're the dad and someone comes in.
No no, no, no, no no no no, I'm the he's
a squatter. I'm the homeless squatter breaks into the guy's house.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Yeah, he's a vagrant and he's a homeless hobo as
they used to say.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Bum.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Yeah, that's cool. That's very topical. You had a squatter
and your parents' property.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
Very different. Not not anywhere near as funny.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
No, it wasn't or romantic. But this, this sounds like
it's going to be a fun time. This is a
fun one. Yeah, some of them can be serious.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
This one is not. This one is not. There's a
couple of very serious moments, but the majority of it
is fun because of war has ended, right, the war
is over?

Speaker 1 (32:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now there are songs, there's still some.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
There are no songs in this. It's not a musical,
at least the version were songs were featured in the movie.
I don't well, there's like a for He's a Jolly
good Fellow, and there's like a Christmas Carol at one point,
but it's not. There's no like original songs like ley
Miz or something. So you guys gonna have those songs
in the play. Well, just just a group singing and

(32:37):
it's not a good performance. It's not meant to be
a standalone What do they have you wearing?

Speaker 1 (32:43):
Tell me it's not the Onesie with the top hat
and the cigar. In the movie, your character, I believe,
is depicted in a adult onesie, all white, Oh.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Like long John's Yeah, I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
You don't know what your outfit is yet? No, okay,
I'm not going if you're wearing a onesie.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
I don't. There's nothing in our script that says anything
about a onesie.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Okay, because we don't need to see that. I thank
you all great. Tell me how it is gonna shield
your eyes. Tell me how the show is spectacular. All right,
Well we come back Motivational Monday. If you're having trouble
getting going, getting your engines revved up on this Monday,
we're gonna change all that for you when we come back.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
You're listening to Gary and Shannon on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
Lot's been made about the census recently because of a
redistricting and jerry mandering, et cetera. There was his story
that I saw today as well, about changes in the
way modern adults reach certain markers. Oh yeah, I saw
this too. Some benchmark achievements that represent the stage at

(34:01):
which we generally recognize someone who has adulted to completion,
and its study found that fewer than a quarter of
young people were meeting these traditional markers, and they said,
with the way society and culture have changed, people might
not necessarily even see them necessarily as the markers. I

(34:26):
guess that would perhaps make a necessarily a good adult
that you don't have to necessarily reach these reach these
five things. But one of them obviously is getting married.
The five markers, well, moving out of your parents' house,

(34:48):
completing a higher education is the second one. Entering the
workforce and then marriage and having children sounds exhausting, and
you think about so many people cram that into a
couple of years. Yeah. Sure, not that it's bad. I mean,
just so you wake up and you're like, what happened?

(35:10):
It is the gauntlent through which everyone kind of has
to pass, not all of those keys, but it just
has and it has definitely changed. Part of it is economically,
I mean, the idea of moving out of your parents'
house can be difficult. Higher education costs a whole lot
of money. Entering the workforce as something everybody should do.
I like that you refer to it as a gauntlet.

(35:31):
I think it is because I'm trying to figure out
so I was kind of a dark I was a
darkness to it said, when do you count moving out
of your parents' house to go to college? I think so,
even if I went home for a summer. Yeah, okay,
So I was seventeen when I moved out of my
parents' house. I completed higher education when I was twenty one,

(35:52):
when I was twenty one, entered the workforce that same year.
So I was twenty one. I got married when I
was twenty four. You're a January baby, so they put
you in school early. Kind of it was either I
was either gonna be put in earlier or I was
gonna be put in late. Yeah, okay, but they gave

(36:12):
us the choice because it was a weird middle time. Yeah,
and then having kids. I had kids. Kyle was born
than I was twenty six. Yeah, I was twenty six
when I had a kid. So from seventeen to twenty six,
those nine years, I did all five of those things.
I had nothing since, like a lot of time. But
when you're so young like that, well, the idea between

(36:36):
the change in life between seventeen and twenty six is
by far the biggest change. I mean, I haven't gone
I haven't gone through the change since then. I mean, arguably,
the loss of my parents is probably a big change,
and that happened recently. But even if I say between
forty seven and fifty six that my life, I can't

(37:00):
imagine how it changes as as exponentially as those things did.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
Yeah, well, your kids' lives are going to change, and
that's how your life is going to change too, because
your kids are in that.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
True, they're in the gauntlet right now making things happen times.

Speaker 1 (37:14):
Steve Jobs says one decision in life separate successful people
from those who only.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
Dream making their bed.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
He says, it gives you a competitive edge. They say,
so many leaders and entrepreneurs obsessive or strategy, timing, innovation,
and they're all needed. They say, there's one trait that
carries them through what you're going to face uncertainty, sets, setbacks, failure.
And now it doesn't get the spotlight like creativity, innovation, culture, vision,

(37:44):
but it is the difference maker, according to Steve Jobs,
and it is.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
Perseverance. So yeah, he put it very bluntly.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
He said, I'm convinced that about half of what separated
it's the successful entrepreneurs from the non successful ones is
pure perseverance. Unless you have a lot of passion about this,
you're not going to survive.

Speaker 2 (38:09):
You're going to give it up.

Speaker 1 (38:11):
So you've got to have an idea or a problem
or wrong that you want to right and that you're
passionate about. Otherwise you're not going to have the perseverance
to stick it through. Now, I would like to add
on the layer of that. I'm no Steve Jobs, but
perseverance is important because it's something that you're doing knowing
it'll never be perfect. You're never going to be the best,
you're never going to be perfect, but you still do it.

Speaker 2 (38:33):
You still.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
You know a lot of dreamers they scrap their dreams
and like, oh, but I can't do it this way.
Oh but I can't do it that way. Even if
it's something like I want a new car. I want
to you know whatever, and it's like, oh, I can't
get that car because of whatever reason, you can't afford
it whatever. Oh, then forget it, I don't want it.
Instead of no, well, your goal is to get a

(38:56):
new car, So get a car that makes sense for you, you know,
don't have a bad adua, just forget the whole thing.
I think a lot of people think about that with
what they want to do in life. I want a job,
but it's got to be this or that or the
other thing.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
Well that really want it.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
It's not perseverance to get the job or get the car,
or get whatever it.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
Is that you want.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
It's not You're not going to end up with your
ideal company, with your perfect company that you have this
idea for. There's going to be things that you can't
make happen, but you still are trying to make that
company happen in this in this theoretical.

Speaker 2 (39:31):
Yeah, almost like you have to have the desire to persevere.
There's got to be something that that fuels your perseverance, right,
But just.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
Knowing it's never going to be perfect, and that's part
of perseverance. That's what makes it something that not a
lot of people have, because it's easy to give up
when you realize that it's not going to be exactly
the way you want it to be. It's like your
adult theater, you know, career go on, or your golf game.
You're never going to be perfect, but you still go
and your try to make it the best you can

(40:01):
make it.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Oh, you still think you're gonna be perfect. Tom Well,
I hadn't given up on it yet. I'm just saying
I knew it was going to take some work, but
he's quite a blow to that ego there, now that
I think about it. We'll see John Cobel show is
up next. I think it's Louis and again for John.
If I'm not mistaken, we'll see you tomorrow. Stay dry, everybody, blessings.
