00:00:46 Kevin
And then.
00:00:48 Kevin
Just hang in there, man. Monday ain't Monday. ****. Monday is great. Monday is the kickoff to your week, and I know a lot of you are like, oh, yeah, but my week sucks. Well, whose fault is that? That's your fault. Like you need to get your *** in gear and.
00:01:09 Kevin
Motivate yourself, man.
00:01:11 Kevin
Why is your life crappy? Why is your Monday suck? Why does your week suck right like that? There's there's an underlying problem to your weak if your weak sucks because of Monday because it begins, it's almost like being born and be like, why am I alive? Like, well, you know what?
00:01:27 Kevin
You shouldn't have that attitude.
00:01:31 Kevin
And Speaking of so, that's that's kind of my that's my that's my morning talk for you this morning guys. I want to I want to get your *** in gear. I want you to find out why your what problems you have and try to solve them this week. So next week we can we can work on the lighter stuff you know instead of all the heavy lifting.
00:01:52 Kevin
So I had a list of ideas here to talk about this morning. But uh.
00:01:58 Kevin
It didn't seem as pressing as uh as something that happened the other day. I don't know. People keep popping up in my newsfeed on Facebook and I I become like you know.
00:02:08 Kevin
I'm gonna start describing what like Joe Rogan and everybody talks about where they're like, man. You just, you just go down these rabbit holes on Twitter. I just happened to see Facebook this yesterday and I saw somebody made a post and.
00:02:21 Kevin
I don't know if the person's on the left or on the right, but they made a post and it was like something I agree with and.
00:02:29 Kevin
I just, you know, I just pointed something out. I was like, yeah, I was like, you are. Right. And I was like, we need more of this. And I guess the guys post was satirical satirical which.
00:02:48 Kevin
Yeah. So I just, it was one of those things in like a mob of his friends started jumping all over me and then I wake up this morning. I hadn't commented. I had commented back to like one of one of the guys friends or something and it was it was one of those like what are you doing?
00:03:06 Kevin
And and it reminded me, then I woke up this morning to the the the author of the posts being, like, get off of my Facebook. Why are you here?
00:03:16 Kevin
You don't have the right to be here kind of attitude and it's like.
00:03:21 Kevin
This is you. You're like, you're not like in your living room on your phone, right. Once you enter like Facebook, YouTube, Kevin's podcasting studio. As soon as I turn this camera on, the the and I upload a video like this video is no longer in my house. This video is now out there in the world.
00:03:40 Kevin
OK.
00:03:41 Kevin
And so this is something this is this is something that caused some contention with me this morning and I just wanted to move it into the motivational Monday space. So this person was like you don't have the right to have your ideas here. This is my Facebook like. No, it's not. Nope. Nope. Sorry. As soon as you create a profile on a public social media site.
00:04:01 Kevin
You are immediately saying anything I post on here. I want your criticism even if you don't, even if you're just there to post pictures of your grandkids. Because guess what, as some grandmothers have used Facebook to see pictures of their grandkids, social media was not created for that.
00:04:20 Kevin
It was supposed to be a, a, a social media venue, at which point it did evolve into a people posting. Well, even then it was it didn't really evolve because it was just a book of faces that were people that you knew in in a social like networking type of situation. And and then it always gave you the ability to post.
00:04:41 Kevin
Things that whether it was like, hey, there's an upcoming event or hey, here's my political opinion. Here's what I'm voting for president on. And then there was always commenting and.
00:04:50 Kevin
Dialogue. That's what it's there for. That's what it's there for, folks. So for those of you out there who think that it's, it was meant so that you could see pictures of your grandkids. Sorry. You were sorely mistaken. It is the Internet and the Internet is a strange amalgam of free speech. It is a screaming match. It is. It can be an echo chamber.
00:05:11 Kevin
But that's not why you're.
00:05:12 Kevin
On there it's, you know.
00:05:14 Kevin
I mentioned to the guy, I'm like, it's not church. You don't get to go there and all like, echo the same belief systems. Like, no, you're you're taking it to the world. You're sitting there. It's almost like if you write an editorial and then you get mad that people read it and disagree with it, because guess what, you're you're on the Internet, not your. And you can block all the people you want on your Facebook page.
00:05:34 Kevin
I suppose, but then you're kind of defeating the purpose of. I am going on. Let's even just change the word Facebook to I'm going on somebody else's yard. Like, that's kind of what it is. It's no matter how you regulate it yourself with the government, whatever that is, what it.
00:05:50 Kevin
And I know what's going to eat a lot of you alive. To think, to understand that, like, well, I don't want it to be that. Well, I want it to be for my grandkids. I want it to be for this I want to. Nope. Nope, sorry. But that's what it is. This was no matter, no matter how you change, you could change it. The problem is.
00:06:04 Kevin
The name you know what I mean like that. Like like here's how I just change it to somebody else's yard. Like, no matter how you change it, that's you'll never change that. Like that's that's.
00:06:13 Kevin
Of the like, the entire premise of it, you can't change the premise by changing what people are allowed to do on it by government action. But anyways, that's I'm going down a rabbit hole. I'm here to motivate you. And So what I also want to do in addition to figuring out why you think that your week sucks, I want you also to like not let other people like push you around except for me. Right? Like that's that's the caveat.
00:06:34 Kevin
Here.
00:06:36 Kevin
I'm pushing you around to make your life better. These other people are pushing around because you know they don't think your opinion matters or they.
00:06:44 Kevin
Don't want to hear your opinion and guess what? I'm here to tell you like this week. Take extra special care to make sure that if there's somebody out there who looks like they don't want to hear what you're about to say, you just.
00:06:55 Kevin
Yep.
00:06:56 Kevin
Not Adam, just this is this. You're going to hear it. You're going to hear it. And I mean pick fights, man. I'm like I'm. I'm cool with it. Like, just, you know, there's a coworker that you know, that just hates your opinion on something. Just be like, hey, you know what I was thinking about it the other day. I saw, you know.
00:07:13 Kevin
I saw your post on Facebook and then just bring that Facebook post to work, bring it to work, bring it to the family reunion, bring it to the dinner table, which usually at the dinner table is more of an echo chamber anyway, so.
00:07:30 Kevin
So I that was how I want to motivate you this Monday, for those of you who have.
00:07:36 Kevin
You know a crummy week. Dig in deep and then if you want to join the rest of us who already know that our weeks are going to be fantastic, pick fights with somebody.
00:07:46 Kevin
Pick a an argument type fight. I'm not. I'm not advocating you getting to physical violence. Whether the people would like to be clear on that. I do think that you do need to, like, go out there and be like hey.
00:07:59 Kevin
Man.
00:08:00 Kevin
You and me have a beef.
00:08:02 Kevin
I think that you believe in something different, and I'm going to tell you what I think and just let that dialogue ensue. People come on and it's healthy. It's healthy. Most people don't realize that it is healthy.
00:08:14 Kevin
There's nothing healthier than to get that dialogue and get it out and let the emotions not be bottled up anymore. And I'm sure somebody's gonna be like, well, that's not a place for. That's not a that's not. That's not something that should be happening at the workplace. That's not productive. But I would make the argument that it is, I would make the argument that it will boost morale in the long term.
00:08:36 Kevin
And it will make more in productive employees. So if your employer is wondering what Kevin's take is on that, that is, that is what my take is so.
00:08:46 Kevin
Cool gang. Well, it has. It has been less than 10 minutes and I'm going to let you go for this motivational one day. But I want you to kick your *** in gear. Get out there, seize the day and we'll catch you guys next time next Monday for motivational Monday. But we'll catch you tomorrow.
00:09:04 Kevin
For life 22 and we'll see you guys later.
