Andy. Hi, you guys. I hope to see Mike Burt here again. You guys get on him. You guys, are we ready for this sip? I think we are. Shelly's got it queued up for us. It's just a short little clip today, and then we're going to introduce you to our guest. So join us now.

37.32 - 38.061 Erica

All right, Shelly, you ready?

0

38.081 - 43.225 Marcela

You know what I'm talking about. It's time for the best part of the day.

43.245 - 44.647 Erica

We're professional, guys. We're getting there.

44.667 - 49.631 Marcela

It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. You like Owen's head tilt of kindness? Let me tell you.

51.532 - 53.814 Erica

Hang on, guys. Shelly, if not, let me know.

54.035 - 59.98 Marcela

Well, that's good for you. This is a perfect entertainment companion for taking a hike.

Chapter 2: How does Kim's personal journey relate to alcohol and food addiction?

1015.702 - 1037.442 Erica

I'm just saying what I hear causing cancer because it's putting your body in a more acidic state and cancer loves to grow in acidity. So, you know, link it however you have to for whatever the addiction or the poison is in your life. It's such a useful reframe. Do you guys want to chime in on that? Because I find it very useful.

0

1038.873 - 1065.471 Unknown

I want to say something first that is kind of, I understand now why scat is a little sideways. Why scat can stay with it, you know, not distracted by the memes. Because you say like, you know, dead and poisons, and I'm smiling and laughing because I'm looking at memes, you know, so I just wanted to say that. But yeah, so ultra processed food, it is poison, right? I like that because...

0

1065.451 - 1091.034 Unknown

especially because a good frame, a good reframe, Kimberly, that you did, I didn't know what you're going to do. And because the idea is great, but the key of the reframe that you did was applying it in the wording. And that's what I liked about it. So I just wanted to say that it's very, you can repeat that often and say ultra processed food is poison, right? So instead of, I mean, excuse me.

0

1091.954 - 1103.61 Unknown

Yeah. If you say like ultra processed sugar, It's poison too. Because if you say you like sugar, you know, sometimes not, but ultra process, you pee. I love that. That's it. Thank you.

0

1105.513 - 1133.958 Kim (Kimbly)

I do use organic maple syrup to sweeten my coffee, which is healthy and good for you. It's good for your brain. And I did a reframe for other things related to that. You'll see over my shoulder, the cookie jar, that's now a pistachio jar. And my husband loved those duplex cream cookies. And I said, okay, what am I doing with the jar? Pistachio jar.

1136.001 - 1172.795 Sergio

What I was going to add to this, Kim, is you talked about how you're not in a diet all the time. And I'm wondering how systems versus goals helped you because it sounds like you have a system versus a goal of like lose 10 pounds and then gain another 10 pounds after. And then it's like this yo-yo dieting. But you've realized on your own that the best, I guess the best option is to do a system.

1172.996 - 1173.977 Sergio

Can you talk about that?

1174.919 - 1208.611 Kim (Kimbly)

Yeah, I basically, well, I have a dual system, exercise and food, is I start the morning with, I have a vibration plate, which happens to help. I have an autoimmune disease too. And I do have a photo of me in an autoimmune flare. So you could see how much puffiness, how much inflammation is, how much misery is there. So the vibration plate helps my neuropathy. It gets my mitochondria fired up.

1208.631 - 1237.226 Kim (Kimbly)

And we're talking about the little pinky move when you want to get out of bed. This is the pinky move of exercise. So it gets me going. And I have some health drinks that I do with that. And then I do TRX straps for resistance training. And then eccentrics, also known as classical stretch on many public TV stations for mobility and flexibility.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of the Fairness Doctrine on media today?

2081.552 - 2111.674 Kim (Kimbly)

It's Jessica Karloff on Fox, Scott Jennings on CNN. The one person, that's not balanced. They're setting this up for conflict. And part of the turnaround happened when Fox News came into existence. And it threatened CNN. Fox News was putting a lot more talking heads on because that was cheaper than actually covering the news.

0

2112.575 - 2125.207 Kim (Kimbly)

And these panels that have evolved from that, I cannot watch many of those programs for very long. That's not news. That's just discussion.

0

2126.449 - 2132.559 Owen

Yeah, I see those as more like entertainment rather than news. They talk about the news, but it's more of an entertainment thing to me.

0

2133.08 - 2148.323 Kim (Kimbly)

But we would have discussions on we had these call we called guest bookers who would arrange for the guests be on the news. OK, how do we balance the segment? We would we would have those discussions. We would either have.

0

2148.303 - 2169.807 Kim (Kimbly)

a second guest with a different opinion in the same segment or another guest to follow that guest, or we would decide, okay, next hour, we're going to have a guest with a different opinion and we're going to tease it. That is coming up. And then we come to that second hour. We'd have a clip of the first guest.

2169.827 - 2184.744 Erica

So I remember that they used to do it. Like you're right. They would get their own slot. And it wasn't always like this debate of yelling back and forth. And I appreciated that because it was like everything's so angry now.

2185.284 - 2185.725 Kim (Kimbly)

Yeah.

2185.745 - 2195.216 Erica

And yeah, so I feel like that's really changed the way we discuss things in our everyday life. Like everything's got to be a battle. I think it's a terrible model.

2196.097 - 2233.002 Kim (Kimbly)

Well, I was at CNN from 95 to 2003. And I have a little prop to show you. This is... the war book for the Iraq war created before it started. And it does say it's for internal use only. So somebody might be at the door before, but there was something that happened there that really jarred me is I was working the night, the or the day the war broke out.

Chapter 4: How has media coverage of politics changed over the years?

2936.365 - 2953.18 Owen

And they do seem to be trying to do that to to be closer to moderate or both sides. But I don't see any sign that that means their ratings are going up. If anything, I think it's more of a whiplash thing where they were so left-leaning for so long that they purged all of their right-leaning viewers.

0

2953.42 - 2961.115 Owen

And now that they're going back towards the middle, they're just going to purge all their left-leaning viewers and no one's going to be left. Do you see it that way, Kim?

0

2962.558 - 2993.169 Kim (Kimbly)

Yeah. Ratings have been declining on cable news for years. And as more news outlets become available, most of us get the news on our phone right now. In fact, if I see a news story being teased, I don't have to stick around for the news. I can look it up and see what it is and go about my day. So these stations, these broadcast stations are losing their power. And I think that will continue.

0

2993.649 - 3021.018 Kim (Kimbly)

But there is an event in history, journalism history, that might be relevant and interesting. I don't know if you've heard the term yellow journalism. Yeah. The 19th century newspapers in New York, they were running stories that were sensationalized. with fabricated facts, sounds like fake news, crime, scandal and more.

0

3022.361 - 3054.177 Kim (Kimbly)

They would have misleading content, prioritizing entertainment over verified facts. And, you know, The two newspapers that were doing that, they were run by William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer was funny. Who's now a, his name is associated with quality journalism. The response to that was the rise of the New York times, which is very interesting.

3054.197 - 3093.999 Kim (Kimbly)

So it was replaced by real journalism, which they need to get back to. And so it's something, things that are arising now that are going to replace these news sources, these traditional news sources as our top forms of information. In fact, until news, was viewed as a money making tool. It was created, the evening broadcast was created to serve the public interest.

3095.301 - 3113.64 Kim (Kimbly)

These networks realized they could make money. That's where the ball started rolling for things to go awry, to put sponsors of the programs that are the ones that these news shows should be covering

3114.211 - 3120.679 Erica

And how? How do you have Pfizer as your sponsor and you're talking about Pfizer vaccines? Like, it's just, it's all stupid.

3121.36 - 3146.317 Unknown

Erica, when you have a chance, I would like to jump in for a second. Do it. Okay, thank you. Okay, so Kimberly, the most important thing you said today was when they whispered at you that they're supporting the war. That was the one that I felt how you got goosebumps when they told you that. Right? Yeah. Because I can feel it.
