Welcome to the Wally show after cast some of the stuff we did not get to during the course of the show today, including some stuff that didn't even remotely make the show was all stuff happening off the air. I was driving Betty rock crazy all day long because Betty rock has been trying to give me advice on how to handle things more constructively for years and then pastor Chad comes in and says something and I'm like, do that's ingenious. Thank you. That that matters to me. I hear you. I received that I'm going to put this into action and she says like, I've been saying this for

well, it's so true because you were giving him all the credit. I know I just said it a different way. I know and it just landed it connected. I he's just so good at this job. I honestly I can't. I would like to give an update though, like I know earlier this week, Wally started talking about some things that were perturbing. Yeah, and a meeting we were having that I wasn't looking forward to. Yes, and it and it actually the meeting turned out well, which I did the I told you so dance afterwards, because um

Wally's learning, um, through my help. Yes, and Chad, and he can jump to conclusions. He can create drama where there is no drama. And it can actually turn out well as long as we institute healthy communication. I remember Chad was telling me. I'll stop it. So anyways, um, turns out that Wally had a conversation with the person that he needed to have a conversation with. He actually started the conversation, which I was super proud of.

Before I even gave him a super well job sticker. Yep. For doing such a great job. Hashtag growth. Um, and you have to admit that it went really well and you're glad you did it. And I feel better. I feel better. Now I will say this caveat. Uh, you told you tell me, Hey, they'd probably be a good idea. Like maybe if you just apologize for your tone or whatever. And and that would go a long way to helping mend a situation, which I did to to my credit. I actually, it's a micro. I know not to brag. But, uh, I actually

did apologize for my tone and what I hit and how I had said what I had said. Um, and at that point, I'm waiting for this other person though to go, you know what?

I appreciate that. And I'm sorry to, man, like, like I got a little heated. That didn't happen. But you're not supposed to. Yeah, but you're not supposed to apologize just so you can get an apology from the other person.

I know you're not supposed to, but it really helps. Well, you shouldn't have even apologized if you don't mean it. I probably shouldn't. Uh, and, and that's you tell.

Oh, that's me. Chad's advice is great. But like you, you, uh, your advice was horrible. And honestly, I don't know if that person should have apologized because yes, while he did use a tone with you is what you

have made it sound like. And you've accused me of using a tone. You probably came at him full throttle guns blazing first. Yes, I did. And so that would make anyone, uh, be on a defensive. Yes. Yeah. And that's true.

Oh, that's true. Oh, that's true. Yeah. I own my part of that. I own my part of that. Uh, but at some point in time, just the human side of you, if someone is apologizing, like if somebody has wronged me and they apologize to me, I typically, even though it's as harsh as everybody thinks I can be, I extend forgiveness. Pretty gracefully. And I, and I would be like, what he did for you. Well, no, I would be like, I'm totally sorry for my part of that too. Like to like, I've done that. I mean, I had a big problem with the guy I worked with for eight years.

And, uh, and that was a big problem. Like we had, we had, we couldn't hear he could stand to hear each other breathe. Yeah, but I would say that probably in situations that you've been in where someone needed to apologize. You've always been where you did need to apologize as well.

Yeah, I did have a part of that. Absolutely. And I, and I called my, my friend, my old partner. I've made the first step because we ended so badly. And I called him and I said, look, I said, uh, this is horrible the way we ended. I'm so sorry for my part in this.

I understand the situation better now. And I am a hundred percent culpable, you know, in this. And then he was like, yeah, dude, I'm sorry to, you know, it was, it was just a rough time in our, in our careers. And, and so like, like that felt really good.

You know, and so I'm just going to have to, and I've been in a good mood today. Like I'm like, because I do feel good. Like I'm like, all right, things are, you feel lighter.

Well, things are, are right again. And, and, and we had a good conversation. This guy and I had a really good conversation about other things as well. And it really made me see that the position that I'm in here and that the show is in here is not in jeopardy.

And that they're happy with things like I haven't burned these bridges because you always accused me of burning a lot of bridges. And so like for me, that was good to see that I haven't burned a bunch of bridges, you know, and that we're all good and we're safe.

Because I really cared about you in this, Betty. And like, yeah, this was all for you. I was trying to protect you and make sure that you didn't get fired.

Oh, yeah, okay. Yeah, I know. And I'll take the arrow for you.

Wow, because I did so much wrong. Yeah, I'm not going to take a bullet for you, but I'll take an arrow for you.

But anyway, yeah, so I feel much better, but not in all seriousness. Like I've been given you a hard time today and praising Chad just because it drives you crazy.

But I really do. I like I appreciate I appreciate your friendship and I appreciate like our relationship and that it's grown to the point where you feel strong enough to say what you think I need to hear even if you know I'm not going to like it.

And I'm at a point where I can listen to that from you now. There was a point probably years ago I probably wouldn't have appreciated honestly.
