Bob, nice work. - Yeah, there we go.
All right, to decrease stress levels
we're gonna have you do one thing.
We're gonna ask you to do one thing.
You want to increase the amount
of positive input going into your brain
and decrease the amount of negative input.
And what we're talking about here
is kind of programming, aren't we, Brad?
Like TV programming,
media,
news.
- Right. - I could tell you right now,
Brad, I wake up in the morning,
if the first thing I do is I turn the news on,
right away I start finding myself
kind of going into a dull, dark,
spiral. - Spiraling downhill, yeah.
It's like turn the news off,
there's a better option than that.
You can get that information elsewhere.
- You can get it elsewhere and quicker
and just get a summary.
You don't need to dwell on it.
- Right, with all the background music that's roaring
you swear the end of the world is every day.
It's that way for years!
- Yeah, yeah it is. - It's not just now.
- It's 24 hours a day so,
what we're gonna suggest is really simple,
but this really makes a big difference.
My wife and I just started doing this,
even at night now we're watching programming
that is positive. - Right.
- Funny and uplifting.
- Right.
- Yeah, you know, maybe you don't get them all
but at least you want to get a couple things.
- Right, right.
I like the ones that are inspirational too.
- Right, right, exactly.
- Especially if they're true stories.
- Well, hopefully someone doesn't die at the end.
(chuckles)
I was given a suggestion. - It was a good movie.
Just relax, Bob. - Oh well first,
so what you're gonna do is you're gonna turn the dial.
You're at the negative, you're gonna turn the dial.
Oh, I'm gonna turn it, it's hard to turn, Brad.
- Yep, keep-- - It's hard to turn.
- Oh yeah. - I'm gonna turn it
all the way to positive.
There we go. - Excellent.
- So, what we want from you, all of you,
is to start giving your suggestions below
of programs that are, you know.
- Sure. - Could be the old school,
We're gonna give some of our own suggestions here.
I'm gonna mention a study too, Brad.
- Okay. - So there was a study done,
Psychology Today, the author was
Graham C.L. Davey Ph.D.
So they did, they exposed people to 14 minutes of news.
(chuckles)
And the news was either positive, negative, or neutral.
- Sure.
- Not a surprise, the people that were exposed
to the negative, their overall demeanor
became much more negative also.
I mean, also what was interesting
the people that were exposed to the negative,
they actually started, their worries
became more enhanced too.
- Anxiety. - Yeah, they became--
- Depression.
- Their worries became more catastrophic in their minds.
- Sure, yep.
- And they were making mountains out of molehills basically.
- Yep, the old adage, garbage in garbage out.
And garbage throughout. - Perfect for that.
Right, so, Brad, let's start on it.
I'm gonna name a couple programs, okay?
- Go ahead, Bob.
- So the one that my wife
and I started watching is Monk.
We used to watch this one years ago,
it's about, it's on Amazon,
and it's about a detective, he's obsessive compulsive
which is kind of funny in this era
because he's all about cleanliness.
- Yeah. (chuckling)
- But it starts off always with a murder
which you think is really bad
but it's funny the way they show the murder.
(laughing)
And then he solves the murder.
- Oh, yeah. - And it's always,
it's always funny, kind of like Columbo.
- He always wins.
- He always wins, right. - Oh, good, yeah.
Yeah, Columbo was a good one way back when.
Yeah, well, I'm gonna bring up a movie
that I think is inspirational and it just lifts you up.
Gets you through troubled times.
It's the movie Rudy.
- Rudy! Rudy!
- True story, based on they interviewed him
at the end of the movie, and then it's just,
his life was successful. - Yeah, he's a,
a public speaker now and all that.
- Yeah. - Yeah, so.
Mike, you got one, camera man?
Mike?
- [Mike] The Office.
- The Office, yeah. (chuckles)
That was one of mine too.
It's funny, it's lighthearted,
it's a different type of sense of humor.
You're gonna have to really get into it.
- It's different.
- I'm gonna pick an old school one, Brad.
How about, like Cheers?
- Oh, yeah, that's one I do watch now.
- Do you really? - Yeah,
I watch the reruns or whatever,
before I go to bed I need a little shake up.
- It's a bar in Boston, right?
- Yes, yes, yes.
- All right, let's go old old school.
- Ooh. - Let's go,
how about the Andy Griffith Show?
- Oh yeah, Opie and,
that was the little kid, right?
- Yeah. - Yeah, yeah, yeah!
- That was the little kid, yeah.
- Barney and, yep.
- Seinfeld I like. - Seinfeld!
- That's not old, but yeah, that--
- You like Seinfeld?
- Oh, yes!
- I didn't think you were a Seinfeld person.
Amazes me. - Yeah, I got the videos
and almost all of them, I don't know.
- Oh cool, yeah, Seinfeld's a great one.
Dick Van Dyke, another old one.
- Oh, yes, yes.
- Gomer Pyle, you mentioned before, did you?
- Oh.
Yes.
Golly gee! Is that what he says?
(chuckling) Or something like that.
Well, whatever, if you're over 50
you'll probably remember that show.
- Yeah, you'll remember the lines.
So Parks and Rec is one I never watched
but my kids watch it.
What was that, Mike?
That's a good one.
30 Rock, did you watch that one, Mike?
My kids watch that one. - 30 Rocks?
- Yeah, well no, 30 Rock.
- Oh, good.
Rock and roll, or?
- No, it's not.
- I've never heard of it.
- Yeah, Alec Baldwin's I believe in 30 Rock.
- I don't get out much anymore.
- Friends.
You remember that show, don't you?
- Yeah, I never watched it too much.
- Yeah I wasn't really a big fan.
- But if Jennifer Aniston's in it,
I've heard of her. - Right, yeah.
- That's good.
- How I Met My Mother, right, Mike?
How I Met Your Mother!
Oh yeah, How I Met Your Mother.
So he's talking to his kids, right?
So, I've seen a few episodes of that.
So. - Yeah.
- All right, well give us your suggestions.
And turn your life positive! - Yeah, absolutely.
- Start getting towards this positive side of things.
- Absolutely.
- Let's stay away from that negative.
You're gonna feel a lot better.
You will. - Yeah.
Do this with a little exercise,
or a double whammy!
Exercise on your stationary bike
or whatever your exercise is while you're watching
the movie! - Oh, fantastic.
- Oh man, it's a double push. - Fantastic.
- It gets you right up and makes you
want to sing a song. (chuckling)
- Thanks for watching.
