Afford anything talks about how to avoid common pitfalls, how to refine your mental models, and how to think about how to think. How would a person buy their time? There are technology hacks. There's, of course, income hacks. There's outsourcing. If you got the means, now it's time to take the action and outsource. If you don't have the means, you can't afford to buy back your time. This is the whole point. We want you to stop buying silly objects and start saving so you can get to the position to do these things. Make smarter choices and build a better life. Afford anything, wherever you listen.
Yes, indeed. It is our number four of Dixon and Vining this morning, the day after Christmas 2024. Kip Kiefer back with you. We've been a plugging away for the previous three hours and have presented quite a wide range of different things. We've had some technical issues. I apologize for that, but hopefully coming in loud and clear now as we wind into the last hour. And I'm really excited to announce that I'm
Bringing in the closer here, I've called him in from the bullpen because nobody does a better job and still has the heater that this guy has. One of Birmingham's most iconic all-time broadcasters who's continued on in his own adventure now, Tony Curry Radio, which is evolved from all music all the time to a variety of some of the most interesting shows you'll ever access
So here he is without any further ado. The man, my partner in crime, Tony Curry, Merry Christmas, Mr. Curry. Merry Christmas, my friend, and happy boxing day. You better be loud and clear when I come on this radio station, man. You reached out to me yesterday, of course. I know being back on 99.5 is always kind of a
special experience for you because you're the guy who basically invented this station and it's original form. It is a little bit bittersweet but it's always nice to be on with you because you do a couple of shows with us on Tony Currier Radio and the TKR app where we each favorite podcast and of course we run those up the shows and then of course you can hear them in their into me as long as you want to do the podcast network we have
But need to know fantastic show you do every single week and then the show that I really enjoy because I'm on it is the key for encourage show That's a show where you and I actually get to talk About things that are poured to us and and we're gonna kind of talk a little bit about that today because we lost some very important people in 2024 I know that you wanted to talk about celebrities. I'm gonna go just straightforward music. Yeah For Christmas
It's today after Christmas, Tony, and it's kind of bittersweet, but this is a year-end week show, and we kind of got on this last year, and I started thinking about the people that will not be accompanying us into 2025, and there's some names on this list that really shake me to the core, and I wanted to get your thoughts, and I know one of the, and these are giants in entertainment and sports, we've lost so many of them,
in this year, but I wanted to start with one that I know you and I have a lot of common ground and a lot of sentiments about, we lost Charlie Hausle this year, Pete Rose, who has left us never being enshrined in his lifetime to the Hall of Fame, which I think is one of the great injustices of all time. Yeah, I mentioned he lived up in an area called Beckett Ridge, which was just outside Westchester, Ohio, about 20 miles north of Cincinnati.
There was a batting cage up in Mason, Ohio that was smacked out of the middle between Westchester and Beckett Ridge, and he used to go up there and get a batting cage. Pete Rose, all star, you know, Charlie Hussle, he'd be sitting in a batting cage, you know, in Mason, Ohio, and everybody used to be a ballplayer.
We got there, we got there with our, with our, our, our, our keg up here and, you know, our gloves and we got there and his flow picks softball and he'd be in the 95 mile an hour cage. And one day we went up there and we wanted to go watch in bad a little bit and he had placed pieces of typewriter paper every three feet down each line out of the batting cage and he could tell us which page he was going to hit for the left side or the right side.
uh... which was just uh... crazy uh... saying uh... but he said that they're saying i'm gonna hit the third one of the fourth on the right and charlie hustle with it every single time so technically i'm fixing to go to a fox six year and i'm gonna have to uh... tell them to let me in so i i didn't want to i want to act like it well i want you to think i'm i'm uh i'm missing you but you know these people these these people these were these tv stations i'm fixing to go tv and tv station and i can't let just anybody in camp they don't let
It's the entertaining part of this whole thing, because Kip has actually dropped off the line. I'm waiting for him to come back on here, because apparently he's had a technical problem. So now it's all you and you're getting ready to go to Fox six. Well, this is typical radio. Yeah, exactly. Welcome to the filling world. Yeah, Tony Kerry here for Good Day Extra, along with the three people. You think I've done this thing. I came up here on Fox six.
every week for about three years, and Tony who? You don't talk about being humbled. It'll bring you down. For sure. Now he was talking about Charlie Hussle, though, and since we're trying to dial it back up, you know, Charlie Hussle was the epitome of baseball. He was right smack dab where I was, immediately, baseball, of course, I was a big red machine guy. And I remember the all-star game in 1970, the race boss, he came,
All the fantastic things he did for Cincinnati, there's only one thing that would have been better, and that is, as a manager, he would have been actually successful. And of course, he hadn't bet on Major League Baseball, whether it was his own team or not. It would have been fantastic to have him do a full circle in one of World Series. I remember reading, my dad was a newspaper distributor for the Cincinnati Inquirer, and I remember getting, I still have it, the front page of the Cincinnati Inquirer says Pete Rose comes home. And that, of course, is after Pete Rose, he had gone to the Philadelphia
Phillies for a period of time. A lot of people thought that he was a red, his entire life. He wasn't, he went to the Montreal Expos. And I believe he went to the Montreal Expos when he had his 4,000 hit. And, you know, he was going around and he brought him home to be the player manager. Something that you will never, ever see again. Imagine this is not Charlie Brown baseball here. This is Major League Baseball where you could be a player and a manager at the same time. Pete Rose was that. He'll be the last player to ever do that. And fortunately,
They never got a chance to win a World Series or a playoff game as far as far as I know. But he will get into the Hall of Fame now. He's already in the Hall of Fame. I know Keith has talked about this. Been a Cooperstown many times. He'd go up there and there's a whole shrine to Pete Rose. He's just not quote unquote in the Cooperstown, but he will get into the Hall of Fame just because now he is dead. They did not want him to appreciate that while he was alive and posh to mislead they will let him in. So I'd expect that to be the next couple of years.
yeah pretty sad last year scott rollin was the only inductee from the regular balloting into the hall of fame scott rollin was a fine player for the cardinals and fillies it's like a two eighty nine career hit it's got a lot to do it right now scott rollin did not even have half as many career hits now as pete rose had and pete rose is not in the hall of fame
Scottie Rowland's not I like Sky Rowland. He played for the since they read later on his life with a great veteran guy as a utility guy. He was a great veteran leadership to have the clubhouse. He is not a Hall of Famer. I mean, and again, you and I have had a discussion where if you have to even think for half a second, whether someone's a Hall of Famer or not, they're not a Hall of Famer. It's got to be a slam dunk for me. When I hear a name, I go, yes or no. If I go, mmm, then I still got to work to do.
uh... you know but i i i do want to bring up uh... because i can i i'm going to go to the park six year about five or six minutes you and i uh... did a fantastic show the other day i keep her in curry we were talking about album and how uh... people don't listen to albums anymore because we used to go to a sand goody which by the way is closing
It's last two stores in Medford, Oregon and Township, Ohio, a little later on in February. We used to buy an album. We used to listen to the entire thing. So we knew the entire development or development, if you will, of what that musical artist was putting on vinyl. And now you can just buy the signal and you don't know what the other songs are. And really the songs that weren't hit, sometimes the most important songs,
And you and I had a really nice reminiscent program. We were talking about Dan Fogelberg and some of the stuff that Jackson Brown did. But there were a lot of musicians this year, my friend, that were kind of those beside people. I'm not talking Quincy Jones. Quincy Jones is an A-lister, top of the line. Giant, absolutely huge. Music sounds different without Quincy Jones appearing it, OK? But I wanted to throw a couple of names at you and see if you're on a picky bet.
uh... another one i think he bet was right i'm looking at his name on my screen right now yeah uh... david sandborn another one that these are guys that were absolute monsters in their own orina but perhaps you didn't know
another guy that people are like well who's full ash i mean if you're a classic rocker or you know she'll let a guy that i just absolutely loved uh... jadey southern uh... of course that a lot of uh... yeah i did her town to with with uh... with the james taylor and and this did all kinds of great just harmonize was fantastic and other guy will throw at you that that i'm not sure uh... and i know you remember him but for some reason he just but when he died it affect me but i grade kin
Do you remember? Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah. He had he had he had continued. He had several of her albums. I did the breakup song that your love's in jeopardy, baby. Great kids. So I was thinking, I'd write the top of my head. I didn't want to go look these up because I knew it was going to be too expensive to get through. But I wanted to go through a couple of Veraca rollers that just really, but David Jamforn was just an excuse for me. Yeah.
I thought about, because I was just trying to think I'm on top of my head, and then I did look and see ones I didn't want to miss anybody prominent. Another guy that was a pretty decent recording artist, and he had one gigantic song all by myself. We lost Eric Karman this year, who was another guy, is a name that I'm familiar with. Bad losses in music, but Dickey Betz, to me, is probably the most significant name
because the dicky bets was what from a musical standpoint oni and you can speak to this better than anybody there were few ever that compared to his skill set oh my gosh i mean the guy could play everything at any time and and really you know played his entire life i mean uh... these rock and rollers that just played in their sixties and their seventies i mean that that the last thing they're going to be holding is not a grandchild that's going to be there to talk that that's what they're going to be holding a pass away
Those are the ones that I really remember. So we lost some great ones. Rolling Stone had a really interesting article out about three or four years ago where they were breaking down. They were talking about everyone from Paul McCartney to Eric Clats and the Mick Jagger, the Keith Richards, all these huge rocker rollers that are now in their 70s that are going to be passing over the next five to 10 years. Sammy Hagar, I mean, I'll put you on and on. There's a list of about 100. I'm talking A-listers. I'm talking big guys here, right?
and they said on average between nine at eleven eight listeners uh... die every single year and that was over since the course time since nineteen eighty five and they're saying it's probably going to be doubled over the next couple years the next few years and it's going to feel like every week is going to be a nanny about that so i can't imagine if you like to get them impaired now i'm not either because i mean they all directly affected my life
And I really banged the up and Quincy Jones, uh, passed away. I mean, it really affects my life because I was, I was growing up listening to 100 ways and just wants off the Duke album. I mean, I just, I, that was what happened. It just was ingrained in my brain. Just love that, um, love that artist. Love that producer. I loved everything he did. Uh, forget about Michael Jackson, just the other stuff he did with James Ingram and just for decades. I mean, he went through so many different evolutionary periods and we had so much, and it had this hand in so many different things.
Quincy Jones, one of the biggest names of the year that has left us. We've got to take a break. I've got some other major, major entertainers, a couple of them are my, what, consider my all-time favorites, and other giants in the sports world we've lost this year.
so hopefully uh... hang with me tony will go through a break and we'll hit some more of these names and and they can't find them out a tip on about ready going on fox six uh... work we're getting to go on cable go ahead and do that now i'll run through the zone but i i can't thank you enough for uh... for coming on with it thank you thank you particularly for every area
We're going to be talking about something else that you and I have talked about. We're going to talk about how to pick up women in 2025. They don't want my expertise on that. Not only can I not pick them up. I have a hard time even interacting with you. You can't pick them up or put them down, can you? Yeah, absolutely not. So thank you, Tony. It's great to have you on this morning, and I appreciate you taking some time. Love you, brother. We'll talk to you soon.
All right, man, we got to go to break. We'll be right back after this. Well, welcome back everybody. Kip Kiefer filling in for Valerie and Richard on this edition of Dixon and Vining. We have had a active morning with a lot going on here, but appreciated Tony Curry stopping in and.
Steve contributing to that segment as we start talking about some of the people that will not be accompanying us into the new year. Some big names we talked about in the last segment. Of course, Pete Rose, the all-time hit king in Major League Baseball, who did a really interesting document. Or if you get a chance, it's on max HBO. And it's a free part.
of kind of summary of the entire Pete Rose story and how it got to the point that he was banished from baseball, et cetera. And really the struggle for reinstatement that it was filmed last year in 2023. And he says ominously in there, well, it's pretty apparent now that I'm not going to get in the Hall of Fame until I'm not here to accept that accolade.
he knew he knew at that point that uh... they were not ever gonna put him in while he was living which is just shameful because if they end up if they end up to him now posthumously i mean that that's just i i i can't tell you how outraged i am with that very idea because uh... to not honor the guy uh... for for what he did on the field and that's what the hall of fame denotes
There's just a whole lot of different elements to that story that need to be explored more, but if you watch that documentary, you will get a much better idea of who this guy was and he was a unique American product for sure.
uh... he was never going to be contrite and apologetic and fall down on his knees and beg forgiveness he just really wasn't built that way but when you see the documentary and you see kind of the the nature of who he was uh... and i had some personal interaction with him but uh... i really value now that he's gone but uh... you know i i i would like to see him permanently enshrined but i also think it'll be insulting because
baseball, clearly one that the showdown of, you know, we're not going to honor you while you're alive to enjoy it, and that's really shameful and sad to me that that's the case. We're looking at the list. Again, I've said this in the previous half hour, but I don't want the day after Christmas to put a damper on things by talking about people that we've lost in the year,
We are in the final days of this calendar year and it's necessary to kind of point out because a lot of people don't even realize some of the giants that we've lost. We started with Pete Rose in the sports world, other sports luminaries. We just lost Ricky Henderson
The all-time stolen base king just a couple of days ago. Ricky was only 65. My favorite Ricky story ever was one day he was being interviewed and the interviewer said, well, Ricky, I understand today is your birthday. And he said, yes, it is. And she said, what year? And he says, well, every year, they thought she was asking about the date. Ricky was one of the first people ever in sports.
who referred to himself in first person all the time he would say uh... or third person i guess with the proper way to describe it rick ricki would say you know ricki doesn't like these new uniforms uh... ricki doesn't feel as quick at them and ricki ricki doesn't like that in third ricki likes to lead off and uh... he was just a really colorful character and what a ballplayer uh... probably i think he has the record for
Most home runs combined with stolen bases of anybody in the history of the game. And so Ricky Henderson, a recent loss. We lost Willie Mays, of course, the say hey kid, one of the greatest players to ever grace a baseball field. And we lost him on the eve of the Rickwood Classic.
which was honoring him, and his contributions, of course, from Wes Birmingham and Westfield, specifically, really had announced just a week before that he was not going to make it to Birmingham for the Rickwood Classic, and we lost him right in that period. We'll have more on the other side. We've got to go to the bottom of the hour break, one and a half hour to go on Dixon and Vining. Glad you're with us this morning.
on 99.5. We are turning the corner and heading down the stretch here on another edition of Dixon and Vyden Kipke for filling in today and had a great time doing so. Hopefully we've conveyed some information that has enhanced your morning. Some we were talking about kind of a sad subject at the moment and I want to wrap this up in this segment but talking about some of the people that we've lost in 2024.
As we get to the end of the year, it's always good to reflect. And some of these names talked about already Pete Rose and Willie Mays being a sports fanatic all my life. The two of the greatest players that I ever, and I'm so thankful in my lifetime, got to see both of them play on numerous occasions, really especially Pete Rose,
uh... but i'd got to see quite a bit of willy mace to in my really young years and and just a nominal we also lost a couple other gigantic sports legends literally in this case bill waltin passed away this year a lot of people might not realize that bill waltin who was of course
The UCLA Superstar Center during the era where John Wooden and the Bruins won a ridiculous amount of consecutive titles and went on to the NBA and won a world championship with the Portland Trail Blazers.
before finishing his career with the Boston Celtics. Bill always had a very interesting way of looking at the world. Bill was a big believer in organic components, let's say, and actually in the latter parts of his life was a broadcaster doing color on the college basketball, predominantly games out in the Pac-12 when it still existed.
But Bill Walton left us this year. Also another gigantic name in basketball, Jerry West, from the champion Los Angeles Lakers teams. Jerry West was such a legend that the NBA logo right now, which is kind of a shadow of a guy taking a jump shot, was based on a photo of Jerry West. So he was a great executive after his playing career, a graduate of West Virginia.
uh... jerry west one of a great pure shooters in a world champion also left but these the ones i'd i really want to focus on and mention because both of these guys that i'm going to talk about next were amongst my favorite entertainers literally my entire life uh... we lost bob newhart which uh... is is kind of astounding because bob newhart state active i mean right up to the very end
He was doing a regular cameo, not a cameo, he was doing a regular kind of revolving character thing on the Big Bang Theory, which was a really popular comedy show, of course, featuring the misfits out in Pasadena, scientists, physicists that were trying to interact with society, and Kaylee Cacou playing Penny, the roommate across the hall,
who was trying to get them into the modern world, but Bob Newhart appeared in a recurring role as Professor Proton, who is a boyhood hero of both the main characters Sheldon and Leonard,
And he was just as fantastic as a comedian in his 90s in these recurring roles as Professor Proton. And he actually, in the series, they kill him off, said he's passed away. And he's coming to the Sheldon character.
in full like Jedi robes and he's like, why am I wearing this? Wait a minute, I don't even have any underwear on. This basic apparition that would appear to Sheldon to give him advice and things is really just a product of Sheldon's self-conscious. But Bob Newhart played the role just remarkably and I loved every minute of it. Seeing him come back around because he had been
such a comedic genius for so many years had that kind of Midwestern laid back style that was really unique and had a little bit of an intentional stutter in the way that he conveyed his thoughts and delivered his zinger lines and Bob Newhart will be greatly missed and I was really sad to hear of his passing this year and another guy who also
made a cameo appearance late in his life uh... in his late eighties on the big bang theory james or old jones what a giant name in the end of in the uh... movie industry in hollywood of course the voice of darth vader star of so many movies including uh... one of my all-time favorites uh... with robert redford uh... where he plays the uh... the writer who
Basically based on the character that wrote famous books, James Earl Jones, of course, his appearance on the Big Bang Theory, he played himself
and Sheldon engages him and they take him on a night of adventure. Let's go have some fun. I've got a Lion King residual check burning a hole in my pocket and they go and they're ringing doorbells of another celebrity that passed away a few years ago, Carrie Fisher and running away and she goes, James, it's not funny anymore. And he takes Sheldon to a strip club and the Sheldon character is so straight laced and uptight.
it's really a of a funny episode but james raul jones did so many great things in the and catcher in the ride with the book i was trying to think of uh... that that uh... he was the in in the uh... movie uh... with robert redford uh... he was playing a character based on that but he remember he had the famous solilo koi at the end of that movie were uh... america has roared by like a
unrelenting freight train, but always in accompaniment with America has been baseball. And he just had such a dynamic voice and was such an amazing character that what a great loss for the entertainment world when James Earl Jones left us this year. Chris Christofferson also, a multi-talented both musician and actor
passed away this year. Martin Molle, the comedian, people might not realize that we lost Martin Molle, who became famous on late night TV first. The crazy shows, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, and Fern Wood tonight. And then he was in all kinds of movies playing oddball characters, always in a comedic way.
He did a lot of really good recurring character spots on the two and a half men show, playing the crazy pharmacist that always fixed Charlie up. We lost Martin Mole. Phil Donahue, of course, the talk show host, married for many years to Marlow Thomas. Phil Donahue, famous for his political stances as much as anything, but we lost Phil Donahue this year.
The names really just jump out at you of all the different people Shannon Daugherty star of Hollywood 90210 lost her way to young in life This this past year Lou Dobbs a lot of people who like to watch cable news For many years on CNN as their financial expert and when CNN got too far left Lou Dobbs bolted to Fox News and did great shows on the Fox
financial channel and then it actually kind of gotten back in later in his life to the regular rotation on Fox News, but really a brilliant commentator and a guy who shared a lot of my thoughts on America and the direction we're going and we lost Lou Dobbs this year. Joe Lieberman, the longtime senator from Connecticut,
vice presidential candidate and and and and a guy who eventually also kind of divorced himself from the democrat party and declared himself an independent uh... really uh... the original thinker and a guy who uh... i've been kind of diminishing people in congress all day joe leeberman was a guy who had their head is priorities in the right place and was a wonderful leader in america for a long long time joe leeberman leftist
Donald Sutherland, another very prominent Hollywood icon star of many movies, won awards for his portrayal in the movie Ordinary People, but also did a lot of comedic movies.
did the one about the guys saving the earth uh... would tell me lee jones and cleanse would late in his career uh... donald southerland also not uh... moving on to twenty twenty five uh... an actor to i just what all my movie going career tarry car who played all kinds of interesting quirky characters uh... we lost tarry car this year uh... richard simmons
The fitness guru wore those awful wife beater shirts and the striped red and white way too tight, way too high out of fashion gym shorts and did all the workout videos and became kind of a pseudo celebrity himself. We lost Toby Keith.
Territ Tony and I were talking about music icons that have left us. Toby died way too early from cancer. A wonderful country music performer and a great American patriot. OJ Simpson passed away this year.
Of course, O.J. Simpson, who was still looking for the real killers right down to the end of a very prominent name that has departed after really departing in terms of public esteem and anything else with the horrible situation.
with his ex-wife and her friend Ron Goldman. O.J.'s legacy went from being a beloved American icon to an absolute pariah and his passing really marked a lot of sentiment, good and bad, of remembering the good times, but also just shaking your head in disbelief of how his life unraveled.
with uh... that unfortunate in uh... most tragic uh... decision he made uh... in in in the uh... in nicole sub murder and that of ron dulman and the final one on my list here is carl weathers who a lot of people say who's carl weathers he was a polo creed in the rocky movies and it you know it's a guy that i when i when i realized we'd lost carl weathers
He was one of those guys that seemed larger than life later in his career when he was getting elderly. He also portrayed the mentor for Happy Gilmore in that ridiculous Adam Sandler movie that was extremely popular. But Lost Carl Weathers, Apollo Creed has fought his last bout on this Earth. But all those people on that list are people that really got my attention
that we've lost in 2024 and I thought it would be a good time to remember a lot of the wonderful things that they brought to us in terms of entertainment and enlightenment and inspiration in some cases and we will miss them all. We're going to be back to wrap it up with some feel good things about the holiday season that I've come across. We'll have that as we wind it down on this edition of Dixon and Vining.
Very fitting. Take it easy bringing us to the house here because that's what I plan to do pretty much the rest of the day. I have been honored to be with you from six to ten this morning and on ninety nine five on Dixon and Vining. Apologize we had some technical issues. We'll be back tomorrow to crank this up again and we're going to work diligently to address our our communication issue but hopefully
The show has been entertaining and informative. We've tried to give you a little bit of everything here on a difficult day to program the day after Christmas because you don't want to harsh anybody's mellow or take away anybody's enjoyment. So we didn't really stress a lot of the issues that I normally talk about on my podcast and other appearances in some other outlets. But tomorrow we'll get into some more of the year ahead.
uh... kind of uh... perspectives and start talking about things that that i want to see you kind of my wish list the good the bad and the ugly i guess of uh... of our government in the things that need to be looked at in and reformed and the things that we need to emphasize i wanted that end on a high note today and talk about gary senece and a lot of you may recognize the name gary senece of course famously
probably is, well clearly, his most famous role was playing in Forrest Gump Lieutenant Dan, who just made him a superstar. He ended up starring in the New York version of CSI for a number of years. But Gary Sinise is one of the great American patriots in our midst. He has worked tirelessly for veteran's benefits
for the care of of of people that come home from war uh... particularly that they've been wounded he has been unbelievable for the families of people that have lost their lives in service of this country that's been expanded to first responders now and i came across a report of what gary sineas does uh... in the last three or four years his foundation which raises
millions of dollars to help these families who have lost loved ones, police, firemen, soldiers, people that were involved overseas in any kind of pursuit for our country. He sponsors, and this happened earlier this week, he sponsors all of those families and brings them in with not a dime of expense for them, puts them up,
brings them to Orlando, they arrive early in the morning, I'm not sure what morning it was this week, Monday or Tuesday, and they actually march from the transport station, which are the trains that run around the park, down into the Magic Kingdom, to the giant castle, where all the relatives have already prepared these messages to their departed loved ones, fathers, brothers, husbands, wives,
whatever it case may be and they attach them to basically fireworks like rockets and and actually uh... you know it launched those up to the heavens uh... uh... uh... in a way to kind of have contact with the people that these these families have lost in and provide them then a full day of of of unlimited access and fun
All that happens before the park even opens every day for that particular observance. But once that is underway, then everybody disperses into the park for all their different pursuits. And it was such a heartwarming thing because I know Gary Sinise not only is doing all this great work, you may recall too on the 4th of July, he and his band play concerts all over the country to raise funds for his foundation.
which goes to all these kinds of programs, but he's also involved in the personal pain of losing, I'm not sure how exactly old his son was, but just right around late 20s around 30 had medical problems and issues all of his life, but was a brilliant musician.
And he got that from his dad, Gary Sinise, the town and actor, but also as played in the lieutenant ban for a long time, strictly as benefits at all kinds of events, not for profit. But the bottom line is Mac passed away, his son, and was a composer and had a lot of music that his dad had helped him get published and developed.
But I'd come across the information. Gary Sunnys discovered that he had just tons of other inventory. Mac had written and crafted and composed all kinds of musical scores. And he has worked with a lot of friends of his in the business and produced a second like album collection of all this undiscovered music that he never knows knew that Mac even conceived. And it was such a heartwarming story because
Mac was so proud of his dad and everything he was doing that he always said, I'm only writing this music. So someday maybe it can help benefit your foundation because you helped so many people. And it really touched my heart, that story.
and I wanted to convey it to you. So if you go to GaryCenese.org, GaryCenese Foundation, I'm sorry, .org and give a contribution. I was inspired to do that because, again, you look for heartwarming things and things that really kind of renew your spirit in others in our world in times of less than optimal conditions.
And hopefully we're getting back on the right track to have that happen. So I wanted to point that out. And I saw a great video just in closing. The other night, so many people still living in just terrible conditions after the western part of North Carolina was ravaged by a hurricane that hit in the Florida panhandle. It's just an unbelievable story. But so many of you were living in tents and we were getting into November, December, January.
It was just an unmanageable situation. The government's been slow to be able to respond to these people, although in this whole funding process, millions of dollars were finally allocated. So maybe we'll get back on the track. But as we wrap it up,
There was a video of hundreds of these prefab houses being shipped there, and... Afford anything talks about how to avoid common pitfalls, how to refine your mental models, and how to think about how to think. How would a person buy their time? There are technology hacks. There's, of course, income hacks. There's outsourcing. If you got the means, now it's time to take the action and outsource. If you don't have the means, you can't afford to buy back your time.
