Hello and welcome back to NextGen on Elevate Springfield. I'm Ellie and I'm here with my dad.

SPEAKER_00 1:52

Hello, hello. How are we doing?

SPEAKER_03 1:54

Good.

SPEAKER_00 1:55

Another beautiful day in downtown Springfield.

SPEAKER_03 1:58

Is that part of your script asking me how I'm doing every time I open the segment?

SPEAKER_00 2:02

I think so. Even though I don't have written scripts.

SPEAKER_03 2:05

Your brain script.

SPEAKER_00 2:06

My brain script, yes. I guess that's that's part of it because I do happen to say that every time.

SPEAKER_03 2:11

And I'm sitting here like, do I have to answer this?

SPEAKER_00 2:13

Well, that time that time I wasn't gonna ask you, but you stayed silent for a second.

SPEAKER_03 2:18

So I was like, well, I guess you want me to ask you.

SPEAKER_00 2:21

I was just gonna say hey, Ellie, and let you go with it, but then you're just like oh awkward pause.

SPEAKER_03 2:27

So I said, Oh, you had to film my awkward side.

SPEAKER_00 2:29

I said I said, Hey, how you doing? So it's a beautiful day here in downtown.

SPEAKER_03 2:33

I'm feeling summer. Yeah, I'm in my summer clothes. I got new clothes.

SPEAKER_00 2:37

Fallish clothes this morning, but now it's I should have worn should have worn summer clothes like you. Well, you're kind of in the in-betweener conditions. Not really, no, because this is a shirt on.

SPEAKER_03 2:46

This is like a beachy, yeah, it's like a beachy one and it's like thin. So I wanted to test it out because I want to wear it this summer because it's not really like a sweatshirt, sweatshirt. And I always like romanticize the idea of like, yeah, I keep seeing girls in like shorts and then a sweatshirt, and I'm like, how do they do that? I'm like sweating buckets over here. So I was like, okay, it's gonna be like 75 today. Let's try it out. And I got it yesterday.

SPEAKER_00 3:05

But I think it got up to like 85 today instead of 75.

SPEAKER_03 3:08

What?

SPEAKER_00 3:09

I think so. I was looking at it a little bit ago because I was like, man, it warmed up a little bit because you know I the hotter the better for me. So I was like, man, it's starting to feel good out here. And I looked at it and my phone said two or something.

SPEAKER_03 3:20

So well, in my brain, I I checked it at like noon. So I was like, okay, it's probably not gonna get too much hotter from here. But I mean, I know the high of the day is usually around like two to three, but still still like, well, it's noon, so it's not gonna get too much hotter. And it didn't. Not like 10 degrees, but hotter.

SPEAKER_00 3:36

A little bit, a little bit, but no, I love the love the beautiful sunshine and the heat on my face.

SPEAKER_03 3:42

No, I disagree, but I totally respect that about you.

SPEAKER_00 3:44

Well, I appreciate that. You know what I respect? A really great play performance.

SPEAKER_03 3:49

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:50

That was fun, right?

SPEAKER_03 3:51

Yeah, that was good.

SPEAKER_00 3:52

Those follow my social. We went to the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child over the weekend. That was fun. It was good. Did you like it?

SPEAKER_03 3:59

I liked it a lot more than I thought I would. But then again, I'm not really a Harry Potter fan. I mean, I watched all the movies, obviously. Sorry, y'all, but I do know it gets a lot of heat from fans, though. Fans hate it. I mean, uh the two things I've heard is that the characters act out of character and the continuity errors are like horrible, right? Which obviously I wouldn't really know. I mean, I watched the movies, but it's like, I don't know, I had a hard time following along with it just because like I feel like they never fully wrapped up things like each little plot point, so it was just confusing. It moved quickly. Like each, it really I mean, I'm talking about like the nine like movies.

SPEAKER_00 4:33

Oh, the movies.

SPEAKER_03 4:34

Well, yeah, but uh so that's how I I wouldn't know if it had any continuity errors because it's like I had a hard time like actually fully understanding what was happening just because it was too much like hinting, but not really saying. Like I can definitely see that though, because like going into it, you know, it's about like Harry Potter's kid and then like Draco Malfoy's kid. But for those who haven't seen it, it's like follows very, very closely to the original Harry Potter like story because it involves time travel. And I didn't know that. I didn't either, so I completely understand why it would have so many like continuity errors or just like mistakes in there that don't match up with the movies because they stuck and clung so hard onto like the actual like Harry Potter story instead of making their own new one. But I liked it, it was good.

SPEAKER_00 5:20

It was it was interesting the way they did it, and I did feel like they like they jumped quick. Their their their scenes were fast, and they but it was it was good, and in terms of the time travel stuff, they tied it in nicely to the original Harry Potter things. One thing I was waiting on the whole time. I guess I didn't know what to expect, but I thought at least we'd at least have one song, not a single musical, not a musical song. I know it's not a musical, but I was expecting like at least one song. I thought it'd be fun to have one cool Harry Potter song, but the instrumentals were really good, though. Like the playlist, like the scenes were great, and they you know they had some good dancing that was part of it, but no no actual singing. I was just waiting for a just one single song. But no, I didn't.

SPEAKER_03 6:02

But do you think Scorpius and Albus are dating?

SPEAKER_00 6:05

I th it seemed that way, yeah. But it it sure seemed like it, but yeah. We'll see.

SPEAKER_03 6:10

That's what I said, I swear.

SPEAKER_00 6:12

Well, we don't want to we might have just done a pretty big uh Oh well, you don't know who they are.

SPEAKER_03 6:17

You only know who they are once you sit down in the theater and are watching it.

SPEAKER_00 6:20

We don't want to give any unless you We don't want to give anything away if people are gonna go out and watch the play.

SPEAKER_03 6:24

Yeah, I respect that, I guess. But I'm glad I'm glad you think that though, because I was like the entire time I was like shipping them. And then by the end, I was like, wait, is this canon? Like, is this actually a thing? It sure seemed like it. Yeah. If you don't know what canon means, it's basically just in universe true. Because you know, there's the things where it's fan theories about movies in books, but they're not canon, they're not real in the universe. Like that's not how the people intended it. But canon is like, okay, that's real. Like they they made it like that. That's true in the story. That's what the story was trying to do, type thing.

SPEAKER_00 6:54

But yeah, and they never actually came out and said if they were dating or not, but at the very end they did make one.

SPEAKER_03 6:59

Had to be. Come on.

SPEAKER_00 7:00

No, I know, but they but they did make one comment at the end. They said something to the effect of our new relationship.

SPEAKER_03 7:08

They said that too.

SPEAKER_00 7:10

Yeah, like something at the end was like our how our new relationship at the very end. They said something they didn't come out and actually say that they were dating, but that comment there solidified it for me that they were.

SPEAKER_03 7:23

I was like, wait, that's it's canon. No, but for me, yeah, I think I completely forgot about that because I was too focused on the one scene where he was like, He's the most important person in my life. And then Harry's like, well, if he's the most important person in your life, I was like, I was like, wait, huh? Yeah. But I think like in like halfway through, um, whenever it was like, Who are you fighting for? Who what what are you fighting for? And he's like, I'm fighting for Albus. I was like, Pardon? Say that again.

SPEAKER_00 7:48

No, it was good. Overall, really good. Saw it at the uh Fabulous Fox.

SPEAKER_03 7:52

I really respect the Fabulous Fox.

SPEAKER_00 7:53

I do too. They do a really nice job. The theater's beautiful, and I respect all the uh decisions they made at the play and everything on how they ran with the story and all that. So overall, very, very good.

SPEAKER_03 8:06

Very respectable, very respectable, incredibly respectable.

SPEAKER_00 8:10

What are we talking about today, Ellie?

SPEAKER_03 8:12

I don't know. Can our viewers guess?

SPEAKER_00 8:14

R E S P E C T. Something like that.

SPEAKER_03 8:16

Uh something, something means to me. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 8:19

There you go. You almost had it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:21

Is that the Jackson 5?

SPEAKER_00 8:22

It is not.

SPEAKER_03 8:23

It's not?

SPEAKER_00 8:24

It is not. It doesn't belong in there.

SPEAKER_03 8:26

Who is that? That sounds like them though. Did they not do one version of that?

SPEAKER_00 8:30

They might have, but the original is I think I'm just tweaking. I don't know if they ever did a a version of it or not, but the original is Aretha Franklin, I believe.

SPEAKER_03 8:42

Huh.

SPEAKER_00 8:43

Yep.

SPEAKER_03 8:44

It sounds like little Michael.

SPEAKER_00 8:46

Nope. It is Aretha Franklin. Interesting. No, R-E-S-P-E-C-T, find out what it means to me.

SPEAKER_03 8:52

Yeah, I knew that. I just Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 8:54

And then they go into the psychatumi, psychatomi, psychotomi, all that stuff. All right. So respect. What's up with respect? What are we talking about respect for today?

SPEAKER_03 9:03

I think respect is important. And I I think people have a different idea of it too. And my favorite thing to do is like think about things more. Yeah. I feel like talking about what respect means to you and me how we can be more respectful to other people is like fun. So how how do you feel respected or what does respect mean to you?

SPEAKER_00 9:20

You know, I'm probably a little a little weird in this aspect when it comes to respect, just because Do you not care? Unfortunately or fortunately, I really don't to some degree. Of course, I want to be respected in my industry and what I do. I want to be respected by my family and everything, but when it comes to general respect from people I don't know, I don't know that it really crosses my mind all that much. So if I'm or if I really think about being respected or being disrespected. Does that make sense?

SPEAKER_03 9:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 9:55

When people are disrespectful verbally, like I think a lot of people when they talk when they think disrespect, it's somebody telling you to your face something bad or I don't really I don't really care. You know, I I a lot of times if somebody were to say something to me that I that may come off as disrespectful, it's it's kind of easy for me to politely say, Yeah, appreciate that. Have a good day. And just and just move on and not not engage with it. But maybe that's just me.

SPEAKER_03 10:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:23

What do you think disrespect is?

SPEAKER_03 10:26

I think it's easier to say what respect is. I feel like respect, how I feel respected at least, is like I said, communication. So taking the time to clearly communicate with me, because too many people do these little dance-around little thingies. I'm like, no, let's not do that. I hate this. This is dumb. Let's actually get to the point, please. Instead of just dancing around it all the time. But obviously respectfully too, because I've had people just flat out not care about my feelings either. And I'm like, like, I can't, it's either one way or the other. It's like I can't get that good in the middle. It's like either or it's like either you're being disrespected by they're not telling you, or they're telling you, just incredibly disrespectful. I'm like, okay, um, I think we we have a problem here. But I think just being respected is being spoken calmly, nicely too, and just really, really taking the time to care about the other person's feelings and putting that into words. Because you can say, Oh, I care about how I make this person feel all the time. And this isn't in friendships or whatever, this can be like anywhere. But personally, I take a lot of time thinking about what I say to pe to anybody. So I feel like that's a form of like respect because it's like they really care how their words will impact you, and they take the time to tell you things in the correct and polite way instead of just throwing it out there. Not to say you should like overthink everything you say. But you know, it's just like politely speaking to people. I'm saying that's and that's big.

SPEAKER_00 11:51

Yeah. And I guess one thing for me that was just thinking about is for respect time.

SPEAKER_03 11:57

I'm people disrespect time a lot.

SPEAKER_00 11:59

Yeah. So I'm I'm super busy, as you know, got a lot of things going on. I like my time respected, and I will respect other people's time so that in a professional setting, when we're talking about meetings, you don't need to have super long meetings or you don't need to have extra meetings about every little thing. You shouldn't be late to meetings. You shouldn't be super early to something because that's not respecting the that person's time either. Because if somebody shows up to a meeting 45 minutes early and expects you to come out, that's not the greatest thing.

SPEAKER_03 12:31

Yeah, I'm an early person, so I get it. But again, I literally just sit in my car until it's an acceptable time to go in. It's like that's that's so I'm there. That's perfectly I feel safe because my anxiety is, you know, is down, but obviously I'm not gonna go in there, like especially if it's a specific thing. Like I'm not gonna go in there 30 minutes to an hour before it starts, because that's disrespectful. They're still sitting up and everything. So I just sit, I just sit in the car until it's an acceptable time to go in.

SPEAKER_00 12:54

So I think those type of things are more important to me when it comes to respect than maybe, you know, verbal disrespect. Because I can just brush that off. But time respect is important to me. And it's also people might have to cancel something, which is fine, but give you notice and all that stuff.

SPEAKER_03 13:12

That's respecting somebody's time, or if you have a meeting that or if you really have to like cancel last minute, you should make it known that you do feel bad and you apologize and you fix it later on too. Because like whenever I have to do that, I feel horrible. I'm like, I'm so sorry, I feel so bad. Like, I will make it up to you. I promise. I know this, this, and this. You know, like keep it on them, like be like, I know that we had this or whatever.

SPEAKER_00 13:35

Yeah. No, I completely agree. And I think those things professionally are more important to me. Yeah. Because when you're respecting time is the only thing. We've talked about this a lot on the podcast, not necessarily on this particular segment, but time is the only thing that you don't get back. So once it's spent, it's it's gone. So we've talked about that before. Have we?

SPEAKER_03 13:57

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_00 13:58

No, no, no. No, that's what I was saying. We I've talked about it on the podcast.

SPEAKER_03 14:02

I was gonna say, I was like, have we?

SPEAKER_00 14:04

Yeah, not on this, not on this segment. We haven't talked about it on this segment. It's the only thing that you know you spend, you don't get back. You can always make more money, you can always buy more stuff if you need to, right? But once time is lost, there's nothing you can do about it. So you need to be a you need to respect other people's times, and the expectation should be that they respect your time as well. So maybe that's a bigger part to me than maybe a disrespectful, just a disgruntled person that wants to say you're an idiot or say you're a jerk or say you're completely wrong and you want to be, you know, mean about it or whatever.

SPEAKER_03 14:40

I think respect boils down for me is caring about how your actions affect other people and not thinking of other people super, super highly, but I still think that's kind of part of it. Like think of other people highly as well. And they're still a person and you should respect them, obviously. So I think that's a big part of it. Just think of them highly as a person and just care about how your actions affect them. I feel like that's what respect means to me. It's because you're caring about how, you know, and you put that into practice, obviously.

SPEAKER_00 15:12

And I would agree that I I think we need to all give a certain degree of respect to others, of course. Um, and that's just general in everyday life, you know, being a jerk and doing the things and helping people out and all those things and respecting other people's beliefs, respecting other people's um opinions and things like that and all that good stuff. I do draw a line to a degree because even though I can respect somebody's opinion, that doesn't mean that I agree with it or that I'm even gonna take that advice. Right?

SPEAKER_03 15:46

I can say yes, exactly.

SPEAKER_00 15:47

Perfectly fine that you think that way. That's great. I that's perfect, but that's not that's I don't think that's right, so I'm not gonna do that. So when it comes to respect in terms of that side of things, there are certain people that I will respect their opinion, their thoughts, and any advice they give me would carry much more weight than others. Yeah. So I think there's a degree of respect. There's the general walking down the street, hey, I'm not gonna do anything to tick you off because or compared to, hey, I really know your experience. We've been good friends, we know each other well, I respect your opinion, and I'm gonna use that advice in my life.

SPEAKER_03 16:32

Yeah, because I definitely think that's been a thing where people equate respect to agreeing or thinking very highly of this person, being like, okay, you should, no, I should listen to you because I think highly of you. No, I think what I'm saying, when I'm saying like speak highly of like think highly of people, it's moral because that's a basic human. It's like you don't need human decency, just basic human decency. Like you don't need to take their advice or be like, yeah, that was really good. Like I really respect them for saying that and being as a person. It's like, no, you just like, yeah, I respect your right to have that opinion, I respect that. Moving on. Like that's that's like it. And yeah, I definitely think that's a thing. I had somebody be like, you're not respecting my opinion, even though this person would share their opinion, and I'd be like, Yeah, totally valid, completely understand that. Like, I think this, but whatever, valid, what that's mine. And then this person would be like, Well, you're not respecting my opinion. I'm like, But you just said you were disagreeing with me. I respectfully disagree with you. I said I understood what you were saying. I said you were valid, completely understood it. But it's like it kind of went back to like the point this person was trying to make. Cause it's like this person was like, You're not respecting me for my different opinion. But it kind of went back to that person because at that point I was like, I don't know what else I could do to respect your opinion. At this point, you're not respecting mine because I've said everything I could to respect yours. I just politely disagree. And then it's like, well, I don't think you're respecting my opinion, my opinion at that point, because you wouldn't have an issue with it if I just shut up and didn't say anything else else about it. No, I agree.

SPEAKER_00 18:06

Yeah, respect doesn't mean that.

SPEAKER_03 18:06

That was a struggle, definitely.

SPEAKER_00 18:08

Yeah, just respecting someone or respecting that they have an opinion doesn't mean that it's correct, even. It doesn't mean that you have to use it or even that it's quite frankly, that it's factual. Because sometimes people may have a very strong opinion and it's just downright inaccurate. And you can I respect that you think that, but it's inaccurate. That's not correct.

SPEAKER_03 18:30

Like, can we talk about the fact that opinions can be wrong? I feel like we don't talk about that enough because it's like it's always like, well, it's an opinion. Like it's it's their opinion, they can have it. You can you can say the sky is green. The sky is not green most of the time. You can't say that the sky is like what's a color the sky never is. Right. No, you can't say that because it's not true. You can have your opinion, but it's not true.

SPEAKER_00 18:52

Yeah, opinions are are can be based on inaccuracies. Opinions can be based on lies. Opinions can be based on stuff that is yeah. So people are entitled to their opinions, but that doesn't always mean that they are correct. And quite frankly, a lot of times many opinions are not necessarily correct.

SPEAKER_03 19:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 19:15

But is what it is on that. But yeah, no, I think there's there's a there is a difference. You've got your basic human decency side of respect, and then you've got your hey, I respect you as an individual because of everything you've got to do. Like I look up to you as a role model, because of your experience, you're a mentor to me, whatever, right? So because of that, I'm gonna take what you say and give that a lot more weight than I give so and so down the street that I know of. And yeah, I'm gonna give the basic human decency respect, but I have no idea what they've done or they have no res no experience. So I mean it's a a really simple example.

SPEAKER_03 19:53

Yeah, I think too many people take it as your second thing. It's like well, you know, if I respect this person, I really need to take their opinion to heart. I need to really like look inward, I really need to reflect on this, or I really need to listen to what they're saying and do it, or I need to take their advice. Like, no, respect is a very basic thing. Like it's not just I look up to them as a mentor, so I need to be able to listen to whatever they say. Even even if you look up to them as a mentor, you could still be like, Yeah, yeah, I won't take that advice. But I think that's a different thing than what we're talking about.

SPEAKER_00 20:24

A little bit. But in terms of the experience piece for somebody that you're taking advice from, really simple example would be say you're going to Disney World. I know, right? So say say you're going to Disney World. You got one person over here that's never been to Disney World, you got another person over here that's been to Disney World, say 15 times. Right? So between those two people, if you had access to both of them.

SPEAKER_03 20:52

To both of them.

SPEAKER_00 20:53

I know to both of them. Did I give it did I dip into an English accent or something there for a second? Something. I don't know, that was weird. So if you had access to both of them, whose opinion would you probably give a little more weight to, right? Based on the experience, it would be the person that's been there 15 times, correct? So similar to the the mentor mentee relationship or the experience you've had with somebody, you're gonna give such and such more credence, more weight to their opinion than you would somebody else, even though you could give them both the basic human decency respect.

SPEAKER_03 21:31

Yes, yes, really simple example, but yeah, and I think we've talked about this a little bit before too, but I want to touch on it here as well. There's like the thing that's been going around for the Gen Zers, whatever, the youngers, where it's like um respect is earned. And when I was younger, I completely was like, Yeah, totally. And I still do think that's a thing, but the respect is earned thing gives the impression that you are a complete like jerk to somebody. Until they earn your respect because it has to be earned, which means that there's a point in time before you have their respect. So then you're just like being completely like I know that's not really the point of that saying, but it very much gives that. I think the quote should be respect can be taken away. That doesn't mean that you, you know, blow up on them or whatever, but you can lose respect for somebody. But I don't think respect is like earned. I think everybody should have the basic line of respect first.

SPEAKER_00 22:32

Well, yeah, and I and I would agree there. So maybe it's more the fact that respect can grow or deteriorate.

SPEAKER_03 22:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 22:41

You can start with your basic human decency respect, and then it can grow into a deeper respect for that person. Yes. Something else happens, it can deteriorate and you have no respect for that person.

SPEAKER_03 22:52

And I totally understand where that quote came from, though, too, because it was always with like the respect your elders no matter what, even if they're being abusive or this to you, you gotta respect them because they're older type thing. So then there was like pushback on that. As we got more progressive and older, we were like, okay, this is messed up. We shouldn't just respect people because they're older or because they're this or because they're this, which 100%. But the actual quote that ended up becoming like popular doesn't say what it should be saying. So then it's just like that kind of sounds weird. It kind of sounds like you're just completely mean to people until they earn your respect. Like, that's not right either either.

SPEAKER_00 23:28

Yeah, no, the the respect your elders thing always, even when I was your age, I always thought it was a little weird. It's like, yeah, everybody can, you know, you respect your elders with common human decency and respect that way, but there's a lot of people out there that uh have done a lot of bad things. And just because they're an elder does not mean that you should have to respect them. Maybe that's another conversation for someone else.

SPEAKER_03 23:56

But then it kind of gets taken so far where it's like, okay, wait, reel it back in. Cause like with the respect to your elders, 100%, respect your grandparents. Obviously, if they're not like abusive, like we said, but obviously respect your grandparents and respect their experiences and listen to them and don't just cast them away because they're old, they don't know anything. They know a lot. Yes, of course. Like random, like elderly people out on the street, you know, you help them help them cross the street, you pick up their groceries, you know, you help them in that way. But then it just got taken so far to the point where it's like, okay, well, the elders can disrespect you all they want, but then you have to be respectful back. Where it's really what the quote was originally was to think highly of your elders and help them. And you're, you know, you're the next generation, so you are taking care of them too, you know.

SPEAKER_00 24:41

Well, speaking of respecting time, am I not respecting your time? No. It's almost time for you to go to work. So I want to respect your respect. So you're respecting my time. Yes, I'm respecting your time. Now, I will say for everybody out there though, uh, mention Disney World might be for a reason because the next episode you see of Ellie and I is gonna be live.

SPEAKER_03 25:02

Live. Maybe not. I ain't doing live.

SPEAKER_00 25:05

Maybe not live.

SPEAKER_03 25:06

I'd get canceled.

SPEAKER_00 25:07

But it'd be from Disney World. How about that? We're gonna do that next week for our Tuesday episode. We're gonna be in Disney World.

SPEAKER_03 25:12

And uh watch out for my Instagram post.

SPEAKER_00 25:14

Yeah, so we'll see uh where we're gonna be sitting, but we're gonna do a podcast from there.

SPEAKER_03 25:20

But from there.

SPEAKER_00 25:22

Man, I'm enunciating kind of odd today, aren't you?

SPEAKER_03 25:25

It's odd today.

SPEAKER_00 25:26

Yeah. I think it's because I I've got a little tickle in my throat.

SPEAKER_03 25:29

And my throat's kind of dry. I need some water.

SPEAKER_00 25:30

Me too. Well, I'm gonna respect your time and your need for thirst so you can go to work.

SPEAKER_03 25:36

Yeah, I guess I'm gonna respect your time because you clearly aren't respecting my time. You just want me out of here. So I'll just respect your time. Well, thanks for joining us.

When I first walked into Shudokong Karate Club, I was just looking for a way to get stronger. But what I found was so much power. Here we train in traditional karate, the real stuff. Passed down through generations. Every punch, every kata has purpose. I've learned self discipline, confidence, and how to protect myself. Not just in class, but in real life. It's not about being aggressive, it's about being prepared. This is more than a club, it's a way of life. Join us at Shudo Khan. Traditional, powerful, real.
