0:52 So a lot of people like people considering a new chapter in their lives.

0:56 They want to move.

0:57 They're looking for love.

0:58 They're doing all these things.

0:59 They turn to these folks for some guidance.

1:02 You didn't do this.

1:03 Um, no.

1:03 When you do this, when you before, you know, you you didn't design your job.

1:07 Oh, no, I did.

1:08 I did one sit through a dinner where a woman, unprompted, brought a book,

1:11 asked everyone for their birthday, and read for an hour and a half.

1:14 All of our rising stars.

1:16 A good party trick like that.

1:17 Okay, you can go next.

1:18 If we get your cards, read nothing.

1:20 No, no, I never done that.

1:21 Um, no, I do have a tarot deck.

1:23 I do have a tarot deck.

1:24 I did a piece once on somebody.

1:25 I did a piece once on somebody who had a really nice, chill take on it,

1:29 and they gifted me one afterwards,

1:30 and it was a nice gift, but I don't use it regularly.

1:32 We digress.

1:33 People are using this.

1:34 They are actually doing this.

1:35 They are.

1:35 There are because 30% of American adults say

1:37 they turn to these horoscopes, tarot cards like.

1:39 So more people are starting to do this.

1:41 So now they're turning to this new service,

1:43 and even corporations are hiring these people

1:46 to bring them on because corporations,

1:48 you know, they're they're taking on new ventures.

1:50 So they want to see if it's in the right location.

1:52 It's it's a you got to read it is interesting.

1:55 Read those a few right hand terminal.

1:59 I sent you a direct message.

2:00 Right.

2:00 I'm talking about this piece, Hannah.

2:01 Okay.

2:02 This next one is from the Wall Street Journal.

2:03 Okay.

2:03 This is about the boy bands.

2:05 Okay.

2:05 So the boy band heyday may be over, but the Man Band era has just begun.

2:10 Okay, so the boy bands that kind of we'd love when we were younger.

2:15 Okay, um, a lot of them are making

2:17 big money now because we're talking about the people.

2:20 We're talking about three new kids on the Backstreet Boys.

2:23 Right?

2:23 Remember, boys to men, new additions, like all those big boys.

2:27 Yes, yes, yes.

2:28 So they're men now, in their 40s and 50s.

2:33 They're not in their 20s and 30s anymore,

2:35 but they're making money because the women who

2:38 love them back in the day now are older.

2:41 They have more money to spend.

2:42 So they're going to Vegas to the shows.

2:44 They're going with girlfriends, they're doing girl trips.

2:47 My sister actually did one.

2:49 She did.

2:50 I did a girl thing.

2:51 I did not go as her new girlfriend.

2:53 They book flights they went out to.

2:54 I forget where it was,

2:56 but they had an excellent time and they had such a phenomenal time.

3:00 But it's they are really, really making money off of this guys.

3:03 I was a new kids on the block.

3:04 I got to say.

3:05 That was my kind of thing.

3:06 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

3:07 Um, and I had three younger sisters, so it was always like, who's your favorite?

3:11 Who is your favorite?

3:12 So you're like my neighbor.

3:13 You kids on the block bedspread.

3:15 Bedspread.

3:17 Gosh.

3:17 But it's a thing.

3:19 It's a girls thing.

3:20 VIP tickets and everything.

3:21 You know, you don't want to know, but if you guys want to go, you let me know.

3:24 And I'll go down there for all of them for at least every day, okay?

3:27 Okay.

3:28 Okay.

3:29 Um, this one's from the New York Times.

3:31 Okay.

3:31 Longevity.

3:31 Right?

3:32 A lot of people are seeking.

3:33 And this is from the times.

3:34 It says the longevity secrets helping athletes blow past the limits of age.

3:38 Okay, so we're talking about athletes right there extending their careers.

3:42 Remember we talked about the Winter Olympics, right.

3:44 Two athletes over 40 right.

3:45 Won gold medals last season.

3:47 You had 340 plus quarterbacks who started NFL games.

3:50 And then of course there's LeBron James right.

3:52 He's 41.

3:53 His son is playing next to him little Bronny yeah little Bronny.

3:56 Um so that's how they do it.

3:59 It's more like they're not just sitting in an ice bath.

4:01 I mean, this is high tech gadgets.

4:03 Um, a lot of data involve like all these sci fi tech gadgets.

4:06 Um, and they're doing a lot of different things.

4:09 Um, a mortal chamber.

4:11 It's $160,000.

4:12 It's a human charging station, so some of these assets are even buying those.

4:18 So they can kind of rejuvenate themselves because

4:20 they want to extend their good luck here.

4:21 Okay.

4:22 So how much of this is proven because I have friends who do a lot of this stuff.

4:25 So I know that there's some research to back up,

4:27 but is this just is it so Seba for us?

4:32 I mean, they're saying that it's helping because they're working.

4:35 Yeah.

4:35 The thing is, is that the athletes are making more money, right?

4:38 So think about it.

4:38 They make more money.

4:39 They have more money to spend on a lot of these, you know,

4:43 gadgets to kind of prolong their career.

4:45 So and you know, the career does end early relatively speaking.

4:48 It does.

4:48 But maybe in the rest of your life and only

4:51 so many play by play jobs that are available for it.

4:54 All right.

4:55 I have this one.

4:56 One more from The Washington Post.

4:58 Okay, so this was an interesting study.

5:00 Why sitting all day is so bad for you and what to do about it.

5:04 So we're sitting here right now.

5:06 Yes.

5:06 And we you know, we get it now and then to stand and stretch the back.

5:10 Um, sitting is a new smoking.

5:12 That was like the thing.

5:13 Remember that hearing that.

5:14 Yeah.

5:14 Not really.

5:15 Okay, so apparently the Wall Street Washington Post,

5:17 they asked the experts and they said, how much is too much sitting?

5:21 So if you sit for 8 to 10 hours a day, that's a little too much.

5:25 You can get up, you know, once in a while.

5:27 Um, it's tied to higher risk of cancer, type two diabetes.

5:31 This is what the studies show.

5:32 Depression, things like that.

5:34 Um, and the reason why is because when you sit right,

5:36 your muscles are not working.

5:37 Um, and it's affecting your metabolism at the same time.

5:40 So that's what they say.

5:41 Your muscles are very important.

5:43 So you have to remember that, um, when you're just doing that.

5:46 So that's why I have the standing desk.

5:47 Yes.

5:48 I take your kids theological counsels all the time.

5:50 So, I mean, you are aggressively they have the happiest

5:53 and healthiest member of our team to do what you're doing.

5:56 So you do have to stand up to the stand up desk.

5:58 And then my watch actually tells me it goes

6:00 off when I've been sitting through to yell at you.

6:02 Yes, it does require you to stand.

6:04 And it tells me it's time to stand.

6:06 So yeah, I've gotta get that nails on me.

6:08 Yells at me that's I just use my dog.

6:09 It just yells at me to get up.

6:11 I got to take the walks.

6:13 By the way.

6:14 Bloomberg this weekend.

6:15 Lisa Mateo, thank you.

6:17 Thank you very much.
