I really love it in the winter. Summertime, i like to stay home. Spectacular weekend. If you like saving money. I do. Doing things yourself, this show is for you. We will have a ton of ways you can do things yourself and not break the bank and all very, very important. Okay, good. All right. So its the week. Right . Yeah. Might have the childs piano lessons. Sometimes at a soccer game or lesson and theyre not that good at it. Awful. Not very good but they love it. Mommy, i love piano bang, bang, bang. Do you say to your daughter, honey, you are not that good, lets find Something Else or encourage them because they have a love of the instrument or the t wtever . And thats a question that came up in that social column. Whats your gut tell you . If your child doesnt have talent but enjoys it, what would you suggest . The age has a lot to do with it. When children are young and love something, let them do it. Half of what finding out what you are in life finding out what you arent. Let them do it. If it drives you crazy with the violin, find a quiet place. As long as they enjoy it. Worse thing is to force kids they hate. Say your daughter or your son wants to be a professional singer and they are just not talented, and that point i would suggest i would take them to an expert and have the expert tell them that this is something that they dont particularly have talent at. Wouldnt come from you. A third party. Now what i did when i was younger, my sister was a great actress. Im a singer. I thought i could be a great singer and went to my sisters voice teacher, me said, stick to harmony. It made me so angry. That it didnt it put a fire feeding your premise. No, im not. You just said the expert will either tell you the truth or their sense of the truth and make you if you dont have what it takes in this business for one person to criticize you, get out now. Theyre doing you a favor. Okay. So heres what i think. I wasnt quite finished but go ahead. Is there more . Continue. No. I think i used to want to be a cartoonist. Look. All the way through nonstick as a kid. This is exactly the guy that i draw. Thats the only guy you draw. I draw the same guy all the time. All the time. There he is. From that you thought you could be comic books full of them. I wasnt talented. I saw the same guy. I loved it. I used to wake up and draw the guy. Hair on the guy. Make it a girl. Did you ever try other guys . No. That guy. I loved that guy. He has a name . No. He didnt. I had comic books full. If my mom said, thats not a good thing, i would have depressed. I wanted to be a cartoonist. It didnt work out. Let if the child wants it later on in life and my mother is not a cartoonist expert. You go to an artist. Somebody that know what is theyre talking about. I dont know people. Okay. It worked for my kids. Okay . It did. It worked very, very well. Phil says this. Wait. What was the question . I dont remember. Im confused. Wait. Should you tell your child to turn i know. But whats the what was the specific . Who cares . I care. Wait. Oh. The kid with a lousy poet. Im sorry. Nothing works with poetry. The dad wait. The father said should i tell the kid his poetry stinks . No, dont do that. As i said find something supportive to say if only to admire the hard work. A College Professor said i wouldnt make it in this business and looking at me in college and part of our job is looks. I mean, i, you know, i didnt look the part. But whatever. And i remember he said that and i thought about his voice was in my head. Terrible thing to have in your head going through life trying to make it. Sometimes builds character. Sometimes its debilitating. I took it as another one of those. It made you the person you are today. You know . Right. If you dont have what it takes, forget talent, your constitution, inner constitution, someone is doing you a kindness keeping you from years and years of agony in this business. I do think one thing you need in this business and some business, some is talent but most of it is stamina. You have to stick to it. The producers here know that. A lot of them have toiled and toiled. The camera crew, everybody. Except for rope. Rope hasnt worked a day in his life. Its tryday friday. I dont think we shared dont do it. Tell him something. In other words, just oi who cares . All right. Why does it take until 2014 to come up with what were about to show you on triday friday . I dont know. This is brilliant. You know a fitted sheet on your bed . Look what they have done. Look what they have done on this. Who is i dont know. First product. Dormafy. Com. Was it all right before . And then moved it. It says short side. And then it says over here, long side. Long side. So that way you know the long side instead of doing what you do and pull it, is it big enough . How much extra do we spend for this . They can go between 59 and 99. Normal. I dont remember the last time i bought sheets. Okay. We want to do happy music. Spotify is revealing songs that fit your mood. Okay . So here it is. The Music Service worked with a professor of cognitive psychology and my brain hurts. Anyway. Whatever. Here it is. If you want to cheer up, please play this song. Katy perrys birthday. I think thats right. All right. If you need just a shot of optimism, try best day of my life. I love this song. I love this song.

That was excellent. So youre bilingual. Excellent. There you go. Nice thing of youtube is no one can tell how many times you watched the video. Watch it again and again. The way i gauge whether or not its a good video is lots and lots of clicks and i assume a lot of people have been there and gone to things and looked for guitar lessons and saw something with not a lot of hits. If you look at the subscribers, a lot of experts have people that follow them and come back time and time again. For example, if you want to learn a sport or a skill, theres this juggling . Including juggling. Lets take a look. Okay. Start by practicing throwing one ball back and forth in a nice arc. Add another ball. Throw a bam as before and throw the ball underneath it to land in the other hand. Put two balls in the dominant hand and one in the opposite hand. Toss the balls just as before but add a third throw right before the second ball comes down. Lets try it. Now were ready. Very easy. What is it . Throw one up. And then third comes down you will have you got it you practiced. All right. Do you know what . Do you know how many times ive watched it . One more time. Yeah. I have a few hours watching that video again and again. One minute more. A couple more.
