1 01:00:01,250 --> 01:00:02,000 Good morning. 2 01:00:03,958 --> 01:00:06,041 And welcome to morning cereal 3 01:00:11,750 --> 01:00:12,666 Okay, good morning 4 01:00:12,666 --> 01:00:14,083 and welcome to Tuesday. 5 01:00:14,833 --> 01:00:15,666 Well, I've got this good 6 01:00:15,666 --> 01:00:17,166 buddy, Matt, Matt Damon, 7 01:00:17,541 --> 01:00:19,583 and he's quoted as saying, quote, 8 01:00:19,958 --> 01:00:22,041 "It's better to be yourself than to try 9 01:00:22,041 --> 01:00:23,541 and be some other version 10 01:00:23,666 --> 01:00:24,750 of what you think the 11 01:00:24,750 --> 01:00:26,583 other person wants," end quote. 12 01:00:27,541 --> 01:00:29,750 Ah, Matt, opening up our Tuesday, 13 01:00:29,750 --> 01:00:30,916 reminding us to stay 14 01:00:30,916 --> 01:00:32,125 authentic to ourselves. 15 01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:34,916 Don't try and be something you're not. 16 01:00:35,375 --> 01:00:37,083 People will see right through it anyway, 17 01:00:37,541 --> 01:00:38,625 and even more so today, 18 01:00:38,750 --> 01:00:42,250 because today is National Debunking Day. 19 01:00:42,875 --> 01:00:44,125 You may not know this, but 20 01:00:44,125 --> 01:00:45,833 in today's fast-paced world, 21 01:00:46,083 --> 01:00:46,666 it's easy for 22 01:00:46,666 --> 01:00:48,250 information to be misconstrued 23 01:00:48,416 --> 01:00:49,708 and lost in falsities. 24 01:00:50,541 --> 01:00:52,291 Some heavy sarcasm there for you people, 25 01:00:52,833 --> 01:00:55,416 but National Debunking Day is intended 26 01:00:55,416 --> 01:00:57,375 to help us gain a little more clarity 27 01:00:57,791 --> 01:00:59,208 to some of the myths and the 28 01:00:59,208 --> 01:01:01,041 false news we hear every day. 29 01:01:01,708 --> 01:01:02,833 And if that's just a 30 01:01:02,833 --> 01:01:04,083 little too heavy for you, 31 01:01:04,083 --> 01:01:06,458 today is also National Dream Day. 32 01:01:06,791 --> 01:01:08,458 So maybe just lay on your 33 01:01:08,458 --> 01:01:10,375 back and stare up at the clouds. 34 01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,041 By the way, we all did this as kids, 35 01:01:13,041 --> 01:01:15,250 and I'd highly recommend doing it again. 36 01:01:15,625 --> 01:01:16,208 It's actually pretty 37 01:01:16,208 --> 01:01:17,708 grounding and very relaxing. 38 01:01:18,791 --> 01:01:20,458 Also, people, it's National 39 01:01:20,458 --> 01:01:22,208 Organize Your Home Office Day. 40 01:01:22,875 --> 01:01:24,041 So good luck with that, 41 01:01:24,208 --> 01:01:26,125 or just put it off another year. 42 01:01:27,041 --> 01:01:29,000 Well, today's news facts and birthdays 43 01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:30,666 are from March 11th. 44 01:01:30,958 --> 01:01:33,791 We're gonna start way back in 1302, 45 01:01:34,291 --> 01:01:35,625 and according to Shakespeare, 46 01:01:35,875 --> 01:01:37,708 on this date is when 47 01:01:37,708 --> 01:01:40,083 Romeo and Juliet were married. 48 01:01:40,708 --> 01:01:43,125 Then skipping all the way up to 1978, 49 01:01:43,916 --> 01:01:46,083 Meatloaf's "Bad Out of Hell" album 50 01:01:46,166 --> 01:01:50,500 began a 416-week run on the UK chart. 51 01:01:51,500 --> 01:01:53,833 Then in 1985, Mikhail Gorbachev, 52 01:01:53,833 --> 01:01:55,583 he became the leader of the Soviet Union. 53 01:01:56,250 --> 01:01:57,625 In 2008, on this 54 01:01:57,625 --> 01:01:59,250 date, Madonna was inducted 55 01:01:59,250 --> 01:02:01,291 into the US Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 56 01:02:02,083 --> 01:02:04,000 Then in 2020, on this date, 57 01:02:04,541 --> 01:02:06,291 the World Health Organization declared 58 01:02:06,291 --> 01:02:07,500 that the COVID-19 59 01:02:07,500 --> 01:02:09,875 outbreak was indeed a pandemic. 60 01:02:10,666 --> 01:02:11,750 Well, happy birthday to you. 61 01:02:11,750 --> 01:02:12,708 Today's your birthday. 62 01:02:12,708 --> 01:02:15,375 You share a birthday with the new Mavs 63 01:02:15,375 --> 01:02:16,583 player, Anthony Davis. 64 01:02:16,583 --> 01:02:17,750 He's 32 today. 65 01:02:18,583 --> 01:02:20,875 And singer Lisa Loeb, she's 57. 66 01:02:22,083 --> 01:02:23,291 Well, the number one movie 67 01:02:23,291 --> 01:02:25,166 on this date back in 2000 68 01:02:25,750 --> 01:02:27,416 was "Mission to Mars." 69 01:02:28,500 --> 01:02:30,291 And I picked this movie actually 70 01:02:30,541 --> 01:02:32,000 because I thought this was the movie 71 01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:33,208 that my good friend Matt 72 01:02:33,208 --> 01:02:35,625 Damon starred in, "The Martian." 73 01:02:36,333 --> 01:02:37,833 And apparently, "Mission to 74 01:02:37,833 --> 01:02:39,708 Mars" is not "The Martian." 75 01:02:40,125 --> 01:02:42,208 And "The Martian," it's a great movie, 76 01:02:42,500 --> 01:02:45,041 but "Mission to Mars," I haven't seen. 77 01:02:45,750 --> 01:02:47,208 But apparently, there's 78 01:02:47,208 --> 01:02:48,583 a very similar plot here 79 01:02:48,583 --> 01:02:50,625 about the first manned mission to Mars. 80 01:02:51,208 --> 01:02:53,208 And surprise, things go wrong. 81 01:02:53,208 --> 01:02:54,875 And presto, you have a rescue mission 82 01:02:55,333 --> 01:02:56,708 and a number one movie back 83 01:02:56,708 --> 01:02:58,500 in 2000 about going to Mars. 84 01:02:59,375 --> 01:03:01,791 Well, the number one song in 1994, 85 01:03:02,291 --> 01:03:03,541 I know this one very well. 86 01:03:03,875 --> 01:03:06,541 The number one song in 1994 was "The 87 01:03:06,541 --> 01:03:08,125 Sign" by Ace of Bass. 88 01:03:09,125 --> 01:03:10,291 This is a song I 89 01:03:10,291 --> 01:03:12,166 definitely rocked in high school, 90 01:03:12,500 --> 01:03:14,000 primarily because the song 91 01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,500 had some pretty nice bass beats in it. 92 01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:18,541 You may recall back in the 90s, 93 01:03:18,541 --> 01:03:20,166 we put outlandishly sized 94 01:03:20,166 --> 01:03:21,916 speakers in the back of our cars 95 01:03:21,916 --> 01:03:23,333 in order to basically 96 01:03:23,333 --> 01:03:24,541 just destroy our hearing 97 01:03:24,541 --> 01:03:25,333 later in life. 98 01:03:26,083 --> 01:03:27,375 But again, I digress. 99 01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:29,375 Back to the song, "The Sign." 100 01:03:29,791 --> 01:03:31,583 What was the sign, you ask? 101 01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:34,416 Well, apparently in the music video, 102 01:03:34,416 --> 01:03:37,000 it showed the sign as an Egyptian ankh, 103 01:03:37,416 --> 01:03:39,000 which symbolizes life. 104 01:03:39,416 --> 01:03:40,583 So there you have it. 105 01:03:41,375 --> 01:03:42,458 Well, it's Tuesday, so I'm 106 01:03:42,458 --> 01:03:43,666 gonna send you on your way today 107 01:03:43,833 --> 01:03:45,083 with my takeaways from 108 01:03:45,083 --> 01:03:46,583 chapter one of part four 109 01:03:46,583 --> 01:03:48,583 of Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends 110 01:03:48,583 --> 01:03:49,500 and Influence People." 111 01:03:50,166 --> 01:03:52,041 Now, have you ever been to the dentist 112 01:03:52,375 --> 01:03:53,375 to have a cavity filled? 113 01:03:53,875 --> 01:03:55,458 Lucky you, if you haven't. 114 01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:57,041 Well, at the dentist, 115 01:03:57,458 --> 01:03:58,708 they will give you novocaine 116 01:03:58,708 --> 01:04:00,958 prior to drilling into your teeth, right? 117 01:04:01,583 --> 01:04:04,208 And this is how Carnegie suggests leaders 118 01:04:04,416 --> 01:04:06,541 approach finding fault in someone else. 119 01:04:06,791 --> 01:04:07,916 No, he's not suggesting 120 01:04:07,916 --> 01:04:08,958 giving them novocaine, 121 01:04:08,958 --> 01:04:10,958 but Carnegie does say, quote, 122 01:04:11,083 --> 01:04:12,833 "It is always easier to 123 01:04:12,833 --> 01:04:14,583 listen to unpleasant things 124 01:04:14,666 --> 01:04:15,875 "after we have heard some 125 01:04:15,875 --> 01:04:18,250 praise of our good points," 126 01:04:18,250 --> 01:04:18,583 end quote. 127 01:04:19,250 --> 01:04:21,458 So Carnegie's principle number one in 128 01:04:21,458 --> 01:04:22,833 part four of his book 129 01:04:23,416 --> 01:04:24,791 in a chapter that's entitled, 130 01:04:25,291 --> 01:04:26,875 "If You Must Find Fault, 131 01:04:27,375 --> 01:04:28,791 This Is The Way to Begin." 132 01:04:29,208 --> 01:04:30,750 So principle number one is, 133 01:04:31,125 --> 01:04:32,708 "Begin with praise and 134 01:04:32,708 --> 01:04:33,791 honest appreciation." 135 01:04:34,916 --> 01:04:36,458 Hey, thanks for joining us today. 136 01:04:36,958
