Summary

Julie and Dennis dissect the question: at what age do you become who you are? Do you feel like an imposter? When “finding yourself” ...who you want to be is more significant than who you are. You are what you do. Do good people think they are good people? Parents are great, but to be an adult you need to separate from them... having healthy adults in your life is crucial ... role models and mentors. Where have all the mentors gone? The addict isn't who they are until they're sober. Circumstance can help form you into who you are… based on your reaction to it. “The one thing you can’t take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me. The last of one’s freedoms is to choose one’s attitude in any given circumstance” - Viktor Frankl. Dennis explains the difference between envy and covet.

0:00.0	Hi, everybody. I'm Dennis Pringer with me is Julie Hartman, and that is why it's called
0:13.5	Dennis and Julie. Julie, I'm going to tell you something from my heart. Man, I really
0:24.0	look forward to doing this. Oh, it's a highlight of my week. It's so much fun. And as I said
0:28.4	last time, we do it all the time. We we have conversations all the time. Exactly. It's still a highlight.
0:37.0	I so it's so much fun. I look, you know what is interesting. I know this after so many years of
0:45.4	broadcasting. People pick up on a lot. You'll find this of interest. I know me in my theory. So
0:56.4	here's Prager Theory 8022736. I realized very early in my broadcast career, the vast majority of
1:08.9	people are intelligent. And so I came up with a rule for me. Never underestimate their intelligence
1:19.2	and never overestimate their knowledge. You have told me that many times. It was you actually
1:23.8	told me that you see that corroborated. Oh, of course, even when I guest host for you, I see
1:28.6	that the people who call in are very, very intelligent. I talked to you about when I didn't
1:33.7	hour on on Iran, the history of Iran, and all of these Iranian Americans called in and
1:40.0	even non-Araining Americans called in. They were all so not, you know, so intelligent. But
1:46.5	here's where the knowledge part comes in. I will also have people call in and say talk about
1:50.7	some committee or some study. And I don't always know if that's true or they have their facts
1:57.6	exactly right on that. So it's very hard when you're guest hosting. It's impossible. No,
2:03.2	no, when they come up with something that I've never heard of, it's really hard to know how to
2:07.5	respond. But I rarely rarely have been lied to. And I've said that on the air. So I say, I don't believe,
2:14.9	I don't know what you're saying to be fully accurate. It might well be. It often is, but I will
2:21.2	check it into it. That's it. Everybody understands. Nobody gets angry. But the point I just wanted to
2:26.4	make was people pick up. So what was I think? What led me to that idea about people's intelligence?
2:34.4	They pick up things. They know this chemistry between us. And I'll tell you, I'll be saying,
